  1. What can be said about Qi

    ... or that by having a big pool of Qi it automatically attracts more ?
  2. What can be said about Qi

    Thats cool . But it aint based on natural principles and science ( as requested by the OP ) or maybe it is ? .... if you explain it more . How do you feel about Qi 'dynamics' being learnt from studying western market economics ?
  3. evil running wild in the world

    Because it is 'political ' ? - that must have been before the OP pot edited ?
  4. evil running wild in the world

    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 ) . .
  5. evil running wild in the world

    No ... probably other people that watch similar brain rot , and compare that , cartoons . comics, TV shows to reality thought of that .
  6. By the way .... I am not an atheist .
  7. Stabbed in the back , eh ? 'back at you' Lois ; Eliyahu Rips,; and colleagues published a controversial 1994 paper in Statistical Science showing names of rabbis appearing near their birth/death dates in Genesis, suggesting divine intelligence. While initially supported by figures like Nobel laureate Robert Aumann, Rips' findings faced significant criticism for methodological flaws and potential statistical anomalies, leading many to dismiss them, though the topic remains popular in certain circles. Key Aspects of Rips' Work: The Method: Rips and his team arranged the letters of Genesis into a grid and searched for patterns where letters forming words (like names or dates) appeared at fixed intervals (skip lengths), forward, backward, or diagonally. The "Famous Rabbis Experiment": Their most cited experiment claimed to find statistically significant proximity between names of famous rabbis and their birth/death dates within Genesis, suggesting pre-ordained information. Publication & Controversy: The 1994 paper, "Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis," was presented as a puzzle by the journal but sparked intense debate, with critics like Brendan McKay highlighting flaws. Public Reception: Rips' work inspired Michael Drosnin's popular book, The Bible Code, but Rips later distanced himself from Drosnin's sensational interpretations. Skepticism & Criticism: Critics argued that Rips' results could occur randomly in any sufficiently long text, and independent tests often failed to replicate the findings, leading to eventual withdrawal of support from some, including Aumann. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliyahu_Rips#The_Bible_Code_controversy
  8. What can be said about Qi

    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 .
  9. Endless desire

    To 'visualize' (as opposed to seeing ) is done with the imagination . Visualizing with a friend does not fulfill the definition of remote viewing , nor does the link support your definition ... no 'friend' is required to do or prove remote viewing .
  10. Endless desire

    An 'act of imaging' is imagination . yeah .... thats actually what your imagination is . Intentional use of imagery . Thats how 'astral' travel works ; and it isnt just my opinion on that ; '' 5 : .... 2. Let him imagine his own figure (preferably robed in the proper magical garments and armed with the proper magical weapons) as enveloping his physical body, or standing near to and in front of him. 3. Let him then transfer the seat of his consciousness to that imagined figure; so that it may seem to him that he is seeing with its eyes, and hearing with its ears. This will usually be the great difficulty of the operation. 4. Let him then cause that imagined figure to rise in the air to a great height above the earth. 5. Let him then stop and look about him. (It is sometimes difficult to open the eyes.) 6. Probably he will see figures approaching him, or become conscious of a landscape. ....... '' https://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/lib6
  11. Endless desire

    Lairg probably doesn't though . Dreams seem connected to many drives of the psyche , including desires .
  12. The year of the Horse

    Choose your mountain wisely then .... ^ ' Firehorse Mountain ' .
  13. retired cup

    That has been my life's plan .... and I have mostly achieved it . I am grateful for the above image , as, due to this thread;s title , I was thinking ' Oh Gawd .... he isnt going to post a picture of that is he ? !
  14. The year of the Horse

    So ..... Chi Dragon does not go to the desert ?
  15. Stranger things

    '' In your dreams .... ''
  16. .... sounds like a lot of people you knew wanted to kill you ......
  17. How does Karma treat cases of entrapment

    King karma is tricky when he 'distributes karma ' ; He saw how sexually repressed this man was so he put the idea into the captors heads to supply women to him ... hence the balance is restored !
  18. Chapter One of the TTC

    You need to ask yourself that ... very early on you seemed to be asking me, if your perception that I understood it , was right , and I replied yes . But then you kept trying to find holes in what I was saying and then coming up with a lot of strange and unusual and self conflicting responses . I cite the responses others gave you as this just not being my subjective opinion . it seems an ongoing thing with you Mr. Dragon
  19. Chapter One of the TTC

    You say it yourself here ; 10.道生之,11.德畜之。12.長之育之。13.亭之毒之。14.養之覆之。15.生而不有,16.為而不恃,17.長而不宰。18.是謂玄德。10. Tao engenders it,11. Te rears it.12. Grow it and nourish it,13. Let it grow to maturity,14. To foster it and protect it.15. Engenders it but not possess it.16. For it but not restraining it,17. Raise it but not controlling it,18. It was called divine virtue. Line 15 and 17 explain my viewpoint and I take them as advice on how to act .... not advice about non action . line 15-17 also describe actions and the 'way' to act .
  20. Chapter One of the TTC

    I also said that above . It would be prevented by not having that intention .... and this is one of the reasons why I keep explaining this principle ..... all over the place . Do not interfere with another's True Will .
  21. Chapter One of the TTC

    The answer is the same , no matter how you try to re phrase or pose the question . see my answer above .
  22. Chapter One of the TTC

    Yes, it probably does to some . Although I acknowledge the tragedy involved . You can put it down to my personal experience ; observing the many issues , including suicide , that I have seen result from this type of thing . I am pretty callous about suffering as well ; most of it ... that probably comes from past experience working with refugees and ex- torture victims .
  23. Chapter One of the TTC

    of course . We should not interfere with another's True Will , especially a parent, as the child develops , they should be nurtured spiritually as well as physically, emotionally and mentally . Sometimes it is hard for some to follow their True Will , it might mean breaking away from the family , peers , other's expectations , etc .
  24. Chapter One of the TTC

    Again ... what do you mean ? I can wu wei my water supply by diverting the run off that comes from the rain and following the contour down to my water tank . OR I could be 'un natural' and burn fossil fuel and start a water pump and pump it up hill against gravity . I can control how the rain hits the ground , or me , or stop it doing those things ; in these actions I can apply wu wei ( least interference ) or 'go against the 'nature of things ' and do it the hard way . I can build a roof or put up a sunshade . here we are having a demonstration of why you cant understand what I am saying . I never suggested such 'magical ' or un natural operations in the first place . I am suggesting wu wei is a way of action ... when we need to act . Not non action at all ... which you seem to think it is . Dude ! Thats a bad example . I live in a cabin on the edge of a forest .... I have been slacking off and not cleaning for ages .... and now you ask me about spider webs and if I can stop a spider building a web ? Answer ... I can , I just been slack You are groking things that you yourself are supposing .... but you are not grokking what I am saying . and I venture to suppose .... I am not the only person here having this 'communication problem' with you .
