silent thunder

Wow. You think you can casually toss out gender bias and bullying, then ask for a freaking apology? We do not tolerate that trash here.

And @soaring crane... been a few years now. Hope you are thriving mate!

This topic is about Needhelp. Time for the bullying to stop MS.

You clearly missed the point for the locking of that thread though I am not surprised based on your tone of approach. blue eyed snake saw the same alarm bells several of us also noticed and flagged the mods so the post could be reviewed just as I did. I reported you for two other posts and now it appears you're targeting members in their personal message boxes... I sense a disturbance in your force.

If sincerely inclined, I would suggest you look up @freeform and his prodigious contributions to the board here. He's a senior inside student to a long-standing lineage and he's spent an impressive amount of his free time dispelling myths and sharing insights and knowledge he's gained from his decades of dedicated practice. So far your contributions here seem antagonistic and full cup, so I'm not inclined to interact with you further. My only point in quoting you in this instance was not to engage you in conversation, but to shed light on ChiDragon's return to peddle his fundamentalist take as a master; and as a warning to new users who may stray into the board and be unfamiliar with his tendencies and his past here.

No one is targeting you MS, but your misguided message. edit to add: As you have selected to target blue eyed snake here, you've been reported. I suggest you be mindful of your continued contributions.

Hedy Lamarr is one of my heroes. What an incredible mind and polymath she was! She laid much of the foundation of modern tech we all rely on without a second thought these days. I got my son interested in her bio when he was looking for someone to do a project on in middle school, he was blown away. Her life story is absolutely riveting and I'm hoping Coppola or some other savvy director/writer will put her story to the silver screen, it would be fire as the kidz say. The time is ripe to begin shedding light on the unwritten genius women of the last few centuries. I expect Mileva had an unrivaled mind of her age (or ours) and just as Albert used lifted the work of some of the previous generation's minds to formulate his ideas, he relied, borrowed and plagiarized her insights as well. The fact that she was accepted to study at Zurich Polytechnic at the time she was should be a huge clue to folks regarding her exceptional qualities and abilities. Getting through that acceptance board as a woman in those daze is a monumental achievement in itself. Perhaps Albert's nod to her was in giving the Nobel Prize money to her after their split, not just an act to take care of their sons but quietly acknowledging her very real contribution. edit to add: and by Coppola I mean Sophia

I hope you encounter some sources of neigong and alchemy that assuage you of this notion. There has been another recent influx of 'dragon ball' kidz here. It happens somewhat regularly and after a bit they tend to trail off and leave. Only if you consider Mr Dragon as a qualified source. If you research the long history here regarding Mr Dragon's offerings (off and on with him quitting several times when he received push back from established lineage practicing members, then returning again after a year or so off, this is one of those recent returns) You might be rather surprised by what you find regarding his 'expertise' and his unfortunate past posting style of fundamentalist literal oriented take on things, particularly regarding translations of classic texts. Food for thought from one who's watched the ferris wheel go round for some years here...

I've longed to hear what Einstein's first wife's IQ was tested at... Many theorize that Einstein and I among them would not have categorized, nor achieved his insights without her input. Given the unlikely position of a woman studying at the leve she did at the time she did. Милева Марић, pronounced [milěːva mǎːritɕ]; 19 December 1875 – 4 August 1948), sometimes called Mileva Marić-Einstein (Милева Марић-Ајнштајн, Mileva Marić-Ajnštajn), was a Serbian physicist, mathematician, and the first wife of Albert Einstein from 1903 to 1919. She was the only woman among Einstein's fellow students at Zürich Polytechnic. Marić and Einstein were study colleagues and lovers

Hi @Needhelp Much empathy for what you're going through and I'm optimistic that you'll recover fully. The body's natural state is to return to wholeness and at your age you've plenty of jing to supply the healing process and find good ground in cultivation down the road, so have hope and know your body wants to return to its natural state. The karmic load Chia is engaging with his publications must be staggering. Trunk's advice is spot on based on the many accounts we've had over the last 12ish years that I've been a member. It seems about every 3 months another person finds the Bums while searching for ways to counteract the intense side effects of Chia's rather reckless sharings. I encountered chia myself early in my Daoist exploration as a young man decades ago, but thankfully it raised alarm bells and I treated it as a purely theoretical source and not a practical one. I'm glad you found us, and hope you'll keep us posted as you recover so others can benefit, because one thing seems certain. Mantak is quite the nasty fisherman.

@Kojiro Prometheus Risin Illuminatus! and Quantum Psychology are good starting points for RAW

In my experience suffering is not required. Gautama taught the methods to cease imposing suffering and be free. Suffering seems an overlay, an imposition atop the process of reality through the unskillful means of aversion, attachment and lack of wisdom. One may experience discomfort, pain, inconvenience, ignorance... that does not mean one must suffer. Missing your presence @Marblehead

I think her hand is already there...

Here's a personal one from our home altar.

Love this!

Love it all. Thanks for sharing.

For this week's drive home.

Hot water while sun gazing just at the break of dawn.

have you not heaped enough on this guy?

you're*

Bill sounds like he may have been grumpy...

No thanks

From your own description of your current health status, it seems like you should focus on losing weight, building muscle and advancing your cardio capacity. Look up the basic Firefighter's training regimine and give it a sincere dedicated effort for 100 days without missing and you will have some guaranteed results.

He is missed indeed. Hope you are thriving @C T

However, if you bestow your very good information he would not be a solo cultivator... N'est-ce pas?
