Obviously, but my point was that there is no need to travel to the far east to find a good teacher. When the student is ready... That's how I found mine, in a suburban park of Brisbane, Australia. I wouldn't travel to China even if they pay me to learn from an stranger plus the following: https://waqi.info/#/c/2.761/11.953/1z

Not only in the sacred mountains and adjacent areas like the Shaolin temple but in the big cities. For example my teacher saw one of the priests dressed up in smart clothes and waiting for the bus near the White Cloud Temple in Beijing. Two hours earlier he first saw him wearing robes in the temple. He approached him and asked why he was wearing casual clothes, his reply was: 'I have to go to work. The Chinese Gov. pays me a wage to wear robes in the temple!" Basically the are lay people payed to pose as fake priests. He wasn't impressed about what he saw in some of the sacred mountains he visited. It's all tourism and fake Taoism to lure naive Westerners.

i can see the divine 3-6 pattern plus 9 as the total. Trinity + yin & yang (3 x 2 = 6). Total of 9 (9 palaces - Luoshu square). So magic square: 4 9 2 3 5 7 8 1 6

Kind of like "Schrödinger's Cat" experiment. It depends on what is observed at the time as multiple states (colours) will exist simultaneously.

I have a rule: Anything with the SPIRITUAL tag attached to it is: 1. Suss 2. BS 3. Ungrounded 4. Scam 5. Stay away from it Use your common sense.

Saudis are implementing technology to turn the desert into a prosperous land. I saw a doc.on the Australian ABC channel, which you are very familiar with, about it. It was very good. I can't remember on top of my head but probably 3-4 years ago.

A scientific genius ahead of his time, even today. I'm keen for that technology to be implemented.

After reading you your opening this is my diagnosis: "You are completely ungrounded."

Thanks Apech. Something new I learnt about this forum. Btw, The Curb was removed, wasn't it?

Sorry, but what is the Steward's Lounge? Is this a "hidden from view" subforum which requires a specific grant access?
