[no AI] The Dao Bums by a toxic online influencer: The name of The Dao Bums forum originates from the fact that some there are capable of being so far stuck up their own arses that it creates a virtual dark room for them to meditate in.

The pivotal thing for me is that all three are mental processes and therefore not real.

yes e.g. a mystery, eternal, omnipresent

I agree.

Yeah, that so did not help. [真人 (zhen1 ren2) true man (Daoist ideal man)] long since, far away Righto, now he’s calling mum a memory droid.

I never understand him Was this about golf?

Yes definitely; imo that’s what it’s all about, to “connect with my soul”.

lay down, rest, be lulled So many boats, but only one reality

.

I’ve been into chakras and auras all my life, I find them very useful.

Sound idea imo. Exactly.

.

I might have misunderstood and hence misrepresented what the site said (re.schools of Magic).

why not?

“ The Three Schools of Magick: you have the yellow school, the black school, and the white school. … The Black School … everything is heading towards nothing … it's best that you find some way of escaping the situation. … the origin of the blackness itself as ignorance. … the situation you find yourself in is an illusion. “ ( https://barbarouswords.substack.com/p/illuminated-magia-9-the-three-schools?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web )

Where’s the ‘Joie de Vivre’? Is Buddhism entirely [to use a @Nungali term] ‘black school’?

Not “every voice”, Jules the site owner has given clear restrictions; quite rightly so imo. Quite a few people have been banned; again quite rightly so imo. Imo every system needs to set boundaries. Some voices will be more suited to another type of forum. Not true in my experience, some are just crap and best avoided.

Which “lineage of masters” Buddhism do you practice?

Thanks, that makes sense to me. Ok, I think I understand the first three. The last one, "all phenomena are pure", what does that mean?

Cry emoji. What's up with that? Please don't confuse the little children

Yes. Embracing the darknes is the only way to come to the light. There is no other way. Faith will protect you.

We want different things, will you "unitedly" do what I want?

‘helping others’ can be escapism, a way to avoid facing your own issues.

The Liminal one is a good one, and a brainy one.

Perfect! "intent". imo that's it. "intent" 意 (yi4) intent
