“Your lineage”.

Not true according to Thomas Ashley-Farrand and what I and a few others in that practice have accomplished, but you do you.

Isn't it "Om Sri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama" though?

I’ll let you know soon how long I need this voluntary leave. Will also leave my contact info to the few people asking. So that they don’t wonder how to find me. Thanks!!

Don't forget the 27 club and how much they influenced pop culture.

People will give some not so great advice, and the good news is, power seekers won’t listen anyway. The script is old. Freeform cares enough to guide, but just enough to give some sensible advice and not enough to encourage harmful actions, which he’s trying to prevent. Good practices are already available here, both cheap and even some decent videos that won’t cost a dime to watch to at least be educated. I hope OP doesn’t expect people just to hand everything to him—work hard and sacrifice, don’t demand others who did to do it for you.

All I know is for the few scammers who tried their game recently (some this year), it's good for everyone to remain vigilant (not linking to those threads or citing names--I'm sure you already know).

What about scammers who were historically banned for promoting their material and scamming members? Dawei did a long investigation with at least several different individuals I recall, and I'm not going to name names. I ask because right now the policy appears a bit nebulous from the attempts to be a bit more universal and open, and some have attempted to slip through the cracks but were caught.

@Shadow_self had his own list for people without much disposable income. There is also this old one. I don't believe that lack of disposable income is a barrier, but unwillingness to recognize the value of a practice is. There is of course a lot of caution advised as some offerings may not actually be helpful at all, and potentially harmful. I won't identify them here as it appears money is your more pressing concern rather than a good practice.

I can recommend Rudi, John Dolic, and Flying Phoenix. I reserve my criticisms for a few on that list and simply say that I like who I like and leave others to decide what they like.

https://forum.alchemical.garden/branch/zenbear/ Flying Phoenix. Condensed thread and new home of Flying Phoenix after its 10+ year history here on TDB, which has gotten long and intimidating for newcomers. I recommend reading the AG Forum thread first, and revisiting the TDB thread later on for historical purposes if you want to see the evolution of the thread. No need for registration to view on AG.

Sure Steve. I said my piece, and if a thread opens, I'll speak up only if I have anything else to say. I don't have access to the politics forum, and won't request access as I have found over the years most political discussions quickly become people repeating themselves ad infinitum. I'm done--one post was enough.

Why people are more upset about alcohol being banned than the thousands of slaves who died building those stadiums still baffles me. #BoycottQatarWorldCup

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better.

Nope. Peace Corps Volunteer. WAY younger. If you say so.

Work hard and save. That's the one-on-one cost, not the group seminar, which if you paid attention, you would know. Go fly to another country, learn the language, earn the trust of the teacher, and practice for years. If doing that for the purpose of giving it to others for free is what you would do, go do that. Otherwise, people need a chance to recoup what they've sacrificed that people like you feel entitled to for free.

I live in the third world actually. If it's worth it to you, it should never come freely without any effort. "I want neigong! I'll do anything for it!" Anything except work harder to afford the reasonable price. Yes, this is viable, as while they may be running a business, they're also human, and based on how a conversation goes, they might be willing to make some compromises. I've found more often than not that certain people play the "I have no money" recording and then their actions show otherwise, such as going to Disneyland or paying for someone else's seminar that is significantly higher. I've also seen people send me messages saying they're poor and they come from a poor country, then when I ask which "poor country?", they say, "Malaysia" or even one who said "Singapore" and at that point, I don't bother replying because they're just haggling or being stingy.

Nah, you aren't paying me and I am not Rudi's errand boy. You got played too. Ca va.

www.authenticneigong.com or just ask Rudi himself, a member here.

If you are going to sing the “I’m poor” song, you probably won’t benefit much from learning because Neigong won’t magically solve your life problems. You’re better off getting your life in order first to be able to afford Rudi’s neigong seminar and monthly tuition of £50, which is really not a lot, but if that’s too much for you, you probably need to balance your finances and life better.

No worries. Get some rest and enjoy the holidays; I was asking hypothetically, not because I'm considering anyone particular.

Feel free to delete this thread if you mods prefer to have these special requests done by PM instead of a thread for discussion. I personally remember the previous mods had one-year bans and that lifetime bans were seldom enforced. Just a thought because people change and life gives some people perspective off the forum, especially when the core member body is different each year.

False.

Lately been really caught up playing Binding of Isaac: Repentance. I can't get enough, followed by Tetris Effect: Connected, the Bayonetta trilogy, SMTV and Persona 5R, and Bloodborne.
