  2. Interview with Serge Augier

    its a matter of opinion. my opinion, after watching this vid is that he is a pathetic MA artist. i saw thousands of hand-waivers like him.
  3. Interview with Serge Augier

    AnonymousNovember 26, 2013 at 03:34 I was a student of Serge Augier and left with other students when heinous marketing and sectarian manipulation gained in intensity he is good at fighting, the ..., hence the fact that he can give the change on his story for a while but he's a liar, and the straw that broke the camel's back was when he told us that we had to "help him sell as many books as possible" https://fuckedupbeyondrepair-blogspot-com.translate.goog/2013/11/pourquoi-jai-lu-et-surtout-ecoute-serge.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
  4. Interview with Serge Augier

    So you know that he has no achievements whatsoever. Because if he had any you would specify those. And yet you i was always fascinated with what motivates people like you to endorse the teachers with no achievements. still a mystery.
  5. The Art of War

    Mair misunderstood this. The main point of this chapter and the entire book is to never go into battle.
  6. Interview with Serge Augier

    what did he himself achieved concretely?
  7. St. George and the dragon

    yes it is, also irrigating (remember the living water fountain) because similarly to china dragon was a rain/river/crops god in the west as well. 'Dragon appearing in the field. (as in a clay figurine of a dragon spirit) http://wengu.tartarie.com/wg/wengu.php?no=1&l=Yijing or a constellation https://www.yijing.nl/origins/01_dragons.html of course it is. but unless we decode the arc the snapshot remains a mirror in which Apech sees the battle of energies, i see a mating ritual, you something else... and all of it is fine. Its a completely legit way to use the image. And another way is to deconstruct the background in order to reconstruct the story arc.
  8. St. George and the dragon

    whats 'pinning'? is the dragon killed or not? what happens to the princess and the knight? do they get married have kids? Do they go separate ways? A painting is a snapshot. We gotta have the full story arc to understand what happens in the snapshot. And a partial story arc is: The narrative was first set in Cappadocia in the earliest sources of the 11th and 12th centuries, but transferred to Libya in the 13th-century Golden Legend.[1] When the king saw he might no more do, he began to weep, and said to his daughter: Now shall I never see thine espousals. Then returned he to the people and demanded eight days' respite, and they granted it to him. And when the eight days were passed they came to him and said: Thou seest that the city perisheth: Then did the king do array his daughter like as she should be wedded, and embraced her, kissed her and gave her hls benediction, and after, led her to the place where the dragon was. When she was there S. George passed by, and when he saw the lady he demanded the lady what she made there and she said: Go ye your way fair young man, that ye perish not also. Then said he: Tell to me what have ye and why weep ye, and doubt ye of nothing. When she saw that he would know, she said to him how she was delivered to the dragon. Then said S. George: Fair daughter, doubt ye no thing hereof for I shall help thee in the name of Jesu Christ. She said: For God's sake, good knight, go your way, and abide not with me, for ye may not deliver me. Thus as they spake together the dragon appeared and came running to them, and S. George was upon his horse, and drew out his sword and garnished him with the sign of the cross, and rode hardily against the dragon which came towards him, and smote him with his spear and hurt him sore and threw him to the ground. And after said to the maid: Deliver to me your girdle, and bind it about the neck of the dragon and be not afeard. When she had done so the dragon followed her as it had been a meek beast and debonair. Then she led him into the city, and the people fled by mountains and valleys, and said: Alas! alas! we shall be all dead. Then S. George said to them: Ne doubt ye no thing, without more, believe ye in God, Jesu Christ, and do ye to be baptized and I shall slay the dragon. Then the king was baptized and all his people, and S. George slew the dragon and smote off his head, and commanded that he should be thrown in the fields, and they took four carts with oxen that drew him out of the city. Then were there well fifteen thousand men baptized, without women and children, and the king did do make a church there of our Lady and of S. George, in the which yet sourdeth a fountain of living water, which healeth sick people that drink thereof. After this the king offered to S. George as much money as there might be numbered, but he refused all and commanded that it should be given to poor people for God's sake; and enjoined the king four things, that is, that he should have charge of the churches, and that he should honour the priests and hear their service diligently, and that he should have pity on the poor people, and after, kissed the king and departed. https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/basis/goldenlegend/gl-vol3-george.asp note how the story ends in in disintegration
  9. unfortunately it was spam from the get go. because the topic-starter does not contribute anything except copy paste. surely we can google such trite mass-media plastic info-noise ourselves if we need to.
  10. St. George and the dragon

    well first of all he is not rescuing her. he is raping her given that the dragon protects her as her pet on the leash. secondly, the cave is shaped you know what, and the dragon's teeth are positioned right in front of it...so... you know...
  11. St. George and the dragon

    well duh. a horse in the picture is never real - it is painted. like, who knew!
  12. St. George and the dragon

    what symbolism? as in dragons are not real, they just symbols?
  13. Newcomer Seeeking Answers

    yes, i did not.;) what i said was in response to him talking about neiDan. pls see below: the gentleman keeps repeating that. probly repetition makes it true or something, idk
  14. Newcomer Seeeking Answers

    i am sorry sir, i do not understand whom you address here as 'you'. if by 'you' you address me personally then i have found all these things in books long time ago, thank you very much. and if by 'you' you mean some other people apart from myself then that brings to mind my fav quote: (or it could be bismarck idk)
  15. Newcomer Seeeking Answers

    yes by around 60 years in the last century. you know the bell-bottoms era
  16. Newcomer Seeeking Answers

    i am sure you have;)
  17. Newcomer Seeeking Answers

    sure. you see neigong is a kinda sorta chinese sounding name, right? so its only natural what does it mean in chinese, right? lets look it up, shall we? despite the title these books were dealing with Xingyi martial art and some EXTERNAL gymnastics. NOT whatever is sold now under the neigong brand. On the modern market the seminar-sellers first sold qigong, then neidan, and finally neigong as the next bright shiny thing to lure the seminar-hoppers over the last 30 years. And of course it was the same old tired rehashed content from the 1980's chinese qigong craze. See? I cared.
  18. Newcomer Seeeking Answers

    there is no such thing as neigong. its a snake oil JAJ is an outright fraud, WLP is less outright https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Chinese-Meditation-Self-Cultivation-Mahayana/dp/0877280665 start with p 175
  19. good question. First of all these guru's are very powerful honcho's. They managed to amass a cultist fanatic following. And there is no sane reasoning with cultists - they are literally insane, remember all these mass suicide cults. And as to sex - sex and power go hand in hand always, remember Clinton, Weinstein etc... The spirituality of these guru's is of a sordid kind, prefabricated for mass consumption like macdonald food or hollywood movies. Just much more sordid, much more hypocritical. Anyone gullible enough to swallow it will swallow any lame excuse.
  20. erm, the account specifically says that he raped this woman/student, made out with her, touched her between her legs, kicked her in the head, groomed her for a long time, breaking her very strong initial resistance. no human culture has this kind mother-son approach. also, almost no human would be so shameless as to rational rape and the rapist gurus this way. almost. this conversation was quite educational.
  21. no. what you say is wrong. he has given all the details explicit enough for you? you are not trying to whitewash this enlightened groomer-rapist baba, i am sure. Although here I am not sure what you are trying to say. Do you call the rape 'attention and care'? Or you call Ramdass a liar?
  22. anybody know full name of this guy Bing?

    (鍾學袅) http://www.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=809 As a Wudang priest, Zhong Xuechao (鍾學袅) always wears Daoist robes as an expression of his practice apparently he is a method actor
  23. hehe yeah this is actually funny. This particular rape by the the enlightened Neem Karoli Baba so it was not rigging. It was an admiring factual account of a rape, by an enlightened baba student about his enlightened baba teacher raping somebody https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_Dass
  24. what is it with all these enlightened babas and rape? seems to be a thing https://therevealer.org/the-guru-disciple-relationship-and-the-complications-of-consent/
  25. Interview with Serge Augier

    he pinpoints it to a year lol he just does not say what exactly happened in 510? did someone graduate from the Daxuan college or something? where does the torch come from? what is so mystical about Kowloon Mountains, they are right in Honkong for chrissake? how can anybody believe this nonsense?...so many questions
