(54) Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor; for yours is the kingdom of heaven” on the surface I can see this one is about seeing thru worldly possessions, pursuits and pitfalls... maybe more ?

Some historians believe ancient Egypt had a matriarchal society - or at least they were equal status with men. One such reason is the depictions in the murals of the queen having her arm around her husband, denoting ownership or “this one is mine”.

I totally get that “feel” from reading the OT too.

Regarding your dad eating his bran..: everyone has their own path to walk. Sometimes it's hard to put our own opinions aside - even though we think we are right - and just be supportive of their choices. It actually raises an interesting question though. If someone eats a certain food that they believe will make them healthier, I wonder if it would actually help them to stay healthy regardless of nutritional benefits? Power of positive thinking? you could be grateful your dad is somewhat health conscious and makes choices to help himself. Even if they aren't the choices you would make personally.

Let your dad eat his bran

Ohhhh it's subtitleddddd......

Yes I've read it. Seems like he very clearly outlines Daoist concepts and gives good examples from daily life. Great book

Thanks vovi. Awesome uploads. A timeless resource for all xiang gong practitioners ! Good find

Hi Rene, its a forum, similar to this one, but doesn't get much traffic these days. Its known for their chat room (at least in regards to this thread) like TDB chat, that Jeff and others do energy practices In. I can PM you the name, I don't want to link another forum name here though (not sure about rules)

The other possibility is that (speaking from my own experience only) working with Jeff has impacted people positively and they feel they have to share their results.

When I first started working with Jeff, he never mentioned LU or chat rooms. I think I worked with him for about 2 months - on a daily basis - before I caught on that there was something else - the chat - happening. I think his response to my question about the joining the chat room was, "sure, if you want. Up to you". Sorry, just had to chime in on that point.

Lol! this video was funny.

Loved your story about your grandfather. Gave me goose bumps thanks for sharing. 😊

100% human 😊 (Maybe... I've met some dogs who seemed to know something I didn't...)

Edit: nevermind. Answered my own q

Don't follow shallow pleasure; examine how you deeply react to your choices. I like it.

Sorry to see you go, roger. I always enjoyed your posts and found much of what you say to be thought provoking and intelligent. Take care

Doesn't he need his ring for that?

My friend suggested today that with all of the hurricanes and earth quakes, she said she felt "the earth was detoxing and purging itself." couldnt help but think of this thread. Perhaps we are going thru a cleanse/detox as well, on many levels and layers. Like We are in part of some greater cycle or process.

Good thread 😊

The energy has been much stronger this afternoon than the past few days. Feeling connections very deeply. Cheers

Yes I can agree with that. The problem is when you see how many of your actions have been driven by fear, and now you don't have the desire to do much of anything ! 😂

It's funny since the us army has chaplains from every other faith too. Why one loudmouth, prejudiced chaplain got an article ... makes me wonder about the ulterior motivations of the author. Whats the point in this?

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. the way to see the world is ok as it is ... is living in total surrender and acceptance. Once you start analyzing you'll start seeing things that need fixing. The deeper I get the less I feel like I know intellectually but the more I know on an intuitive level. Everything I typed could also be an illusion that I've accepted and surrendered to. Lol! I also accept this as a possibility... 😊 Also i will help everyone I can when I can. Accepting things doesn't mean your sitting around watching the world go by. It's whatever happens is meant to happen. It's something I can't explain well but know on a deep level.

I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. We have freedom to choose but in the end it doesn't really matter either way.
