I wonder what value there is in ascribing the negative characteristics and manifestations we see as “evil” as opposed to human? It feels to me that it is a way to distance ourselves or absolve ourselves of responsibility, a form of dehumanization such as is used to normalize atrocities.

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.” Right now the reason evil is running wild is because it is invisible to a large portion of people, even when presented with proof of it, their mind cannot see it. The people who can see it are scared, and view themselves as weak, and they don't want to "rock the boat". The solution is for all the people who feel like that to unite as one, and do something about it. The problem becomes convincing them all to adopt the mindset of "together we can change this", from "I am weak and powerless, and nothing I do matters".

I’m not disputing the classical classification of fajin methods. I’m pointing out the gap between formal taxonomy and trained reality. The fact that Peng underlies most fajin methods does not mean that most practitioners have actually built Peng as a functional internal condition. In practice, developing a high-quality, coherent “Taiji body”, one that is genuinely expresses full Peng, is exceptionally difficult, especially for people who begin training as adults. This is an uncomfortable reality about the standard level of Taijiquan practice among adult starters, not a denial of what the art theoretically contains.

The entire Torah is completely encrypted, and people are searching for these codes using computers. A pioneer in this field was mathematics professor Eliyahu Rips, who lived in Israel. Dr. Rips was a leading expert in mathematics, and he mathematically proved that the probability of a random coincidence approaches zero. This is a stab in the back for all atheists.

It seems you are being 'hunted ' for any hint of something that 'someone' ( that reports people a lot ) does not like . IMO its in the eye of the beholder . My eye sees your question as 'is evil running wild in the world' . Yep ... always has been . Ya know , war was always evil ( yes a human judgment indeed , but these are human affairs ) , nasty, death dealing , horrific . violent .... but it wasnt until Vietnam War got blasted via TV into our lounger rooms that people started realizing how bad things were in the modern world . ( Excepting the unfortunate who had to live through such things ) And with the advent of modern 'improvements' in communication , I think we are certainly now more aware of what goes on - outside of our insular , air con , electronic environs . The safety of western civilization is collapsing and will effect more 'safe ' people as time goes on ...... regardless of who runs things ( some may invoke more of it some less ) .... its an inevitable collapse due to the false foundations it was based on ( ie. ideas of unlimited resources and economic formulas of ever increasing expansion ) . .

No . Qi and the history of market and economics are actually different things . Stored Qi ( having a large pool ) is passive , it is the active principle that gathers and stores Qi . having stored Qi may enable one to more efficiently gather more Qi , but the issue of just having a store of Qi will not automatically attract more . Which has nothing to do with previous 'supposins ' Large masses of energy are not the same as an ocean sized mass of water . One needs to understand how the tides effect the oceans first before making any comparisons with that dynamic . But even supposing you were correct , you seem to be saying that having a large 'mass of Qi ' is better ? Unless you think if you have a lot of Qi the tides will effect it ? Actually, what are you saying here ? let's start with .... not the above . Okay . But first , please define Qi based on natural principles and science .

Was I the only one who read the title and thought of this.

your last sentence was fine imo, the rest sounded like foolish B.S.
