Of course it is, but also trying to filter out bad, destructive and downright dangerous practices surely is a responsibility of all here. Especially for newcomers who are trying to find their way through the maze.

I've been a member here for quite a few years. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown to myself, the foundations have weakened considerably.

This forum has had it's fair share of these people over the years.

The cracks have started to appear, and they're getting bigger.

I think he was banned/suspended at one time.

Who is this, they ?

Thanks for that. Chris Hedges is a very good speaker.

Thank you for that post. I highlighted the best part. It is indeed happening across the 'interweb'. Political correctness, conformity and 'not rocking the boat' are becoming standard practice everywhere in all forms of society. Unfortunately, conflict is part of life. We didn't get anywhere as a species by living in a utopian, heaven-like environment. That's how stagnation sets in and progress is killed.

This should be pinned for future contemplation.

This is very sad that we are, yet again, losing another fine member with a lot of Daoist wisdom. This is supposed to be a Daoist forum after all. I think the people who run the show, need to look at why this is happening. I'm considering not participating here also. I've learned an awful lot here over the years and have tried to share what experiences I have had with others. Part of that is exposing charlatans and cultish activities. I believe as a supposedly caring community it is our duty to do just that. What a shame.

Cultivation is work, hard work, conducted over a long period of time in order to better certain conditions. And don't apologise for asking questions. Most of us are civil around here.

Excellent post. This is the essence of Daoist spiritual alchemy. Not energy practices or imaginary circuit meditations.

The real controllers of world events. These things don't happen by chance. They are planned decades in advance.

I am not worthy oh superior one.

Meaning ?

Not the EU, but the one's who are controlling the EU. Think big banking, pharma, media, food, the endless war machine against the latest bogey-man (Hitler, Noreaga, Castro, Pol Pot, Ayatollah Khomeni, Saddam Hussein, Gadaffi, Bin Laden, Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS,ISIL, IS, Daesh or whatever they're called this week). This is the work of something really sinister. The 'hidden hand'

I haven't the foggiest what this means.

Then how did humans, like yourself, learn of this 'planetary level power' ?

This statement suggests a belief system.

What is this 'dao power' that you speak of and how do you 'possess' it ?

Some people will believe absolutely anything that's put in front of them. That's the way the world is, and it's getting worse by the day. These televangelists live in luxury, complete with huge mansions, designer yachts and private jets. All paid for by the gullible masses, hoping for a way into heaven. But hey, don't let the likes us try and advise people to keep away from them God forbid !
