  1. Hi Stosh and Marbelhead,

     

    I believe the best thing you can do is solve your own problems. If everybody would do that, the world would become a much better place naturally.

     

    I hope that Chuang Tzu would agree with this.

  2. I read somewhere that the masses are unscrupulously behaving in ways that any single individual would be ashamed of. But it takes strength to still be your true self when almost everybody around you thinks differently.

     

    I am speaking from my own experience...

    More popculture belief to soothe your own mind. One of the big lessons delivered to me by life is that all my positive energy and belief has created negative reactions, has made things even more difficult. Especially for the people 'in my life', so to speak, there can never be abundance. They are devoted enemies of that. Small minds will always attack that which is greater. They need to reap the disrespect they sow through their actions. Putting hope in them is a mistake and a disservice to that (potential) gift of greatness.

    If you could see all the love I sent into the world and what I received in return, you would have murder on your mind.

     

    Perhaps you are too attached to results. Just send out the energy and let it go.

    I got so much entertainment out of playing games with cheat codes in my childhood. Because I didn't need or want competition, pressure, risk, friction and above all scarcity. I'm a creative mind, understanding that we bring into the world what we live, and I want to condition my mind towards abundance. Naturally that makes things extremely difficult in our world, since it goes so much against society's ruling structures. And manifesting abundance without impairing someone else's is even tougher. But to some degree others don't deserve it anyway. No point accumodating strangers who might be totally selfish. Problem is just that if you apply a watering can principle, then you never know who you hit. And that's where my empathy won't budge. I had to learn to differentiate in order to not become a misanthrope.

     

    Believe that there can be abundance for yourself and everybody else in your life. Your thoughts will help create it.

    Statistics speaks other thing

    i have so many games and things i can or could do, but i don't find any good reason to do so. I check other peoples accounts i see like 100 games, but only played 1 hour average.

    On top of that, i have freedom to walk around, do same things what i can do in games in real life.

     

    so i suspect i don't do nothing in paradise where every possible imagination could come true. That sounds most cool thing but its boring and empty in the end after few tries or so.

     

    Then this is what you choose.

    Is it an ideal world or simply his world [view]...   as one in accordance with Dao.

     

    It may be ideal to those who are not in complete accordance with Dao ?

    Of course you could say that someone in complete accordance with Dao lives in an ideal world no matter what.

    yo, it explains, why you need to keep your own pain in so that others doesn't know, so that you naturally feel authentic.

     

    Focusing on your pain will not make it better.

  8. I think it helps if you have something to hold on to in daily life.

     

    With me, it's my work as a healer which gives me focus. Doing this, I just can't afford feeling down too long.

     

    I am also teaching Russian school kids the English language. It gives me great joy to work wth children.

    Find a real Chinese qigong master for a shen "healing" - http://springforestqigong.com is a good one - call them up and get a phone healing.

     

    Talking is not really encouraged by the real teachers. haha.

     

    Watts was a fake. Sure he may have opened the door to nonwestern thinking but in a general watered down way.

     

     

    This is just your opinion. Not every Daoist master was known for qigong and healing. E.g. Chuangtzu was also just a philosopher and writer, as far as I know.

    True that.  And Lao Tzu spoke to that in Chapter 80.

     

    Yes, I think it can fairly be said the Chuang Tzu was an idealist.  But he was also a realist.

     

     

     

    I think he could swap perspectives at will. Expressing his mastery of the Dao.

  12. If all were in accordance with Dao, they would live in peace with each other and no government would be needed.

     

    I think, Chuangtzu often paints an ideal world as a model for us to follow.

    Fair enough.

     

    Back to the Caucasians.  Used to be the people of Georgia, on average, had the longest life span of any peoples on the planet.  No idea what it's like now.

    Putin is feeling that same old familiar feeling.

     

    Of course, being ex-KGB I wouldn't expect any thing else.

     

     

    Sorry Marbelhead, I don't like to talk about politics. It is too frustrating.

    Was that why Russia annexed it?  Needed some smart people in the population?

     

    No, it was because we thought our country is not big enough.
