Welcome.

just wanted to share some thoughts on the lighter side of things i hope at some moment of this day that you did experience some laughter?! was it a reaction from hearing a joke? were you being tickled? did you experience joy? or happiness? did you have an evil laugh?

You could ask Chunyi Lin for clarification. Over the years, I think I've only had one of these well known teachers not respond to my inquiries. And I'm probably better off that one didn't respond. Doing the exercises will remove much of the confusion.

Some lights like Ella burn bright long as the lifetime of a star. To be fair to us living now; Ella lived before Leaving us with clouds shaded with industrial graphite gray tones. In the near future, Ella would have to sing Grey Skies nothing but grey skies. La La la

Like the title of your thread says; evil in multiple forms. The conclusion I have arrived at is that when regarding the sacred and the profane; humanity views peace as grotesquely obscene.

"Evil comes up softly like a flower"

"I believe I am in Hell, therefore I am."

showing off that belly full of qi---you show off you

sometimes big fish are caught on a jumper, or if what you catch doesn't suit your taste; keep it on the jumper, cast it back, see what you hook next. not sure why you'd wear fish bait,, unless you're seriously going after "the big one" good luck!! @Sloppy Zhang lives! sometime back around 2010, some bums were saying the same old thing,, "this place ain't what it used to be" i reckon it isn't. we used to have immortals and bodhisattvas visiting and posting.

it never hurts to have some fierce courageous cat friends around

On some other thread I posted that our cultural myths has been taken away from us. A member acted in disbelief of my comment. Yet, I don't see much mythyness being discussed,,,,,perhaps the believers are too busy pushing a stone to respond, idk More Greek https://greekreporter.com/2025/08/18/ancient-greek-god-hermes-icon-millennials/

On this thread; all you will find is laughter this is the medicine my heart is after otherwise sorrow will defeat you; will eat you I'd rather bond with laughter than crying Laughter makes us human and courageous Don't worry, be Happy!! la da la la lala la la la la

Cuz !

Benevolent misunderstood virtuous mosquitos biting us only to boost our qi; that is a fabulous concept. There has to be a good purpose for all creatures, right? I can't go for it though. If one's qi is at a high enough level or shen or even jing at high levels the mosquito won't be biting on that one. That applies for naturally occuring mosquitos; perhaps biotech engineered robot mosquitos are another matter. This years mosquitos, are on another level. Some are clad in bullet proof armor and go straight for the jugular. It's as if some diabolical madman was behind the 2025 mosquito invasion. Maybe it's a backdrop for the next Austin Powers sequel. Or it could be Mother Nature reminding us all that she has a tool box beyond our comprehension and she is ready to use it in response for our transgressions. Michael Meyers where are you?

We've progressed so far; human civilization: golden age to silver age to bronze age, iron age, fast forward on up to plastic age. Elon says, Grok reads minds. https://www.abebooks.com/PEASANTS-REVOLTING-WIZARD-Hart-Johnny-Parker/374584638/bd Summer in America, baseball season; the player's goal is to make it home. Winners and losers. Winners were able to make it home safely. Losers did not. Maybe bc they didn't have one to go to anymore. Largely, it isn't about mental disorders or addictions, it's about economic opportunities. After all, Baseball is big bizness. Good sports give a hand up to the downtrodden, they don't kick em while their down.
