What matters to me the most is understanding the wisdom or teaching contained in a particular biblical story. Being so I think it's very profitable to try to understand or interpret it as if it was a greek myth for example. If I ask myself when and why this happened to me, when did I start hiding my nakedness and learn to be deceitful towards my creators (parents) and ended up becoming like them (knowing both good and evil) ? Thst's how I take something useful from a biblical story to my personal growth.

Already told you that I don't have any problem if you want to have it your way and have faith in your system. I do understand your pain and was making suggestions in order to try to help you and with the best intentions. This will be my last post on this thread. Best of luck.

I meant learning some plain western anatomy and physiology...and what's not energetic anyway?

Ultimately it's your problem and you should deal with it the way you think you should. Be open to suggestions though and consider learning more about your body. An energetic problem will have an expression in your anatomy and physiology. Again wishing you the best and good work mate.

There is nothing wrong with mild scoliosis if not, like in your case accompanied by severe pain which can be a nerve, or tendon, or ligament, or fascial problem. So, they referring you to physiotherapy having much better ways to deal with those seems very odd to me. Really wish you find the solution to your problem and please let us know when you do.

Ok, can I ask you what was their diagnostic? Was it the same or different?

You've already found your method Knightgame 15 Nothing beats that!

Hi galen_burnett I will tell you about my experience with back pain in order to try to help you. Being a sports massage therapist as well as a qigong and tai chi practicioner gives me many tools to assess as well as treat the injuries that sometimes I have to deal with. Sometimes however, even tough my self-diagnose is absolutely right I am not able to help myself, its just not physically possible. That is when I resort to an osteopath. I'm absolutely sure that they will assess me properly as well as manipulate my body effectively in order to treat the problem. Last year for example a nerve got trapped on my cervical spine, excruciating pain. After self assessment tried in vain the existing physiotherapy exercises to help my problem. The doctor of course put me on anti-inflammatory medication that of course as I knew wouldn't help me for long...it would follow the NHS physiotherapy appointment that would take weeks to happen, so, I've booked an appointment with my osteopath that confirmed my self-diagnosis and treated me accordingly. Yes it took me three sessions and a few pounds ( he actually charges less than I do for a session 😀 ) but it was the wise decision and saved months of avoidable pain. Hope it helps. Best

Loved it. Thanks Taomeow 🥰

That's beyond unpopular for its time and place 😄 Pessoa was a fascinating ultracomplex figure put on earth to deliver many different messages. The keeper of sheep by Alberto Caeiro, one of his heteronyms, is a book I love. I think of it as the portuguese daodejing. According to the legend it was channeled which must be in part truth.

Being a Portuguese citizen and having received the catholic baptism as a child makes me having to comment on this. It has been quite an interesting thread in which I'm not participating much due to lack of time. Thanks for having started the riot, Apech. Don't agree at all that modern Portuguese people are practicing catholics at all. The supersticious part of the population however resort to "catholic magic" when in need, like for example reciting the prayer of a specific saint or going to Fatima ( the place where the Virgin Mary seems to have appeared to three children) hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately the catholic church never did much directly to make people grow in their faith. You will find the old lady in church very knowing of the rituals to invoke the protection of a multitude of saints but when asked what Jesus said regarding this or that matter, totally unaware of the religion she should be practicing. And... let's follow the Pope because he knows better than us. If the Pope says the vaccine is good let's all have it or if he says condoms are bad even if they save lives, he knows best. Mysteries are real and to be accepted, but when turned into a big money making industry... lets sell millions of candles and rosaries plus the payment of promisses, etc. The catholic church however gives opportunity for people to grow in it, just not directly. Catholic Bibles have beautiful, revealing comments in them and the catholic church not having a fundamentalist view of the Bible, sugesting its esotericism and an approach of faith instead of an intellectual one gives an opportunity for those who want to make a serious investment to grow in wisdom...eh eh...just like the I Ching. What would the I Ching give back to you if you were to attack it intellectualy? But I digress... Time for bed.

That would be an unpopular opinion...

That's a particular model, the SHHM: Superstar Hollywood Hominid Machine.

Well, I am 🥳🥳🥳

Mindful music listening...is there a better activity?

Sorry wrong smiley. Should be 😁

Unpopular opinion: There are no humans, there are only hominoid machines.

I think that it helps to know that the hebrew word for sin is "khata" which means "to miss the target". That brings a new prespective on things. At least to me.

The irony of spending the first half of your life trying to have less interest in sex and the second half trying to have more 😱😭🤣

I go fully vegan sometimes but confess that I like plants way more than I like animals.

Books are living things!

Hi Daniel Quite profound thinking there. Sorry mate but at the moment there's no time for me to do that. Will reply when possible. Cheers.

Maybe, yes... what makes me wonder is the ammont of drugs used while recording that album...

I kinda like the "go,go,go" it sounds to me as grow, grow, grow in the cultivation of your personal Dao 🙂 I can live with your deslike of the guitar riff 😁 I think you got the message I wanted to deliver now. My best wishes, Daniel.
