Are you for real @Apech

None of these systems are real. They are ‘boats’ to be discarded when ‘job done’.

Hi. Welcome to the forum. Maybe @-ꦥꦏ꧀ ꦱꦠꦿꦶꦪꦺꦴ- has some advice.

The truth is always the same everywhere and very simple. Ignoremuses with big egos make up things to look impressive; complicating systems to obscurity. The Hindu chakra system originally had only 3 chakras (the primary colours). The Chinese have 上， 中，and 下 丹田

There's only one reality. All systems refer to this same reality. Chakras and dantien refer to the same things.

Exactly. That’s the last thing nature needs, human attention, that’s what’s destroying it.

Yes. That’s the root.

So what is it in real life that you, old3bob, do to help the world?

To be part of any system, one has to be capable of remaining silent sometimes.

Every system needs to set boundaries.

PEACE TO THE WORLD In the Way of the Ancients: if I want to bring peace to the world, then I first must order my own country; if I want to order my country, then I first must unify my own family; if I want to unify my family, then I first must heal myself; if I want to heal myself, then I first must mend my heart; if I want to mend my heart, then I first must sort my thoughts; if I want to sort my thoughts, then I first must gain awareness of them; gaining awareness lies in coming to terms with being a soul in an animal body. A soul in an animal body, come to terms with, only after that may awareness be gained; awareness gained, only after that may my thoughts be sorted; thoughts sorted, only after that may my heart be mended; heart mended, only after that may I be healed; myself healed, only after that may my family be unified; my family unified; only after that may my country be ordered; my country ordered, only after that may the world be set at peace. ~~~ (part of 大學 The Great Learning, c. 5th cent.
