  1. As a rule, when we ask for something, there is a price to pay. For example, asking for something from a devil usually involves a some kind of spiritual payment, like selling one's soul, as saints and christian scholars teach us (I could be wrong here, please correct me then). But is not the same transactional rule apply when followers ask for something from their deities, such as Jesus, Allah, Buddha, etc.? Do people accrue a 'spiritual credit card' liability when asking for things from their deities?

  3. Damo Mitchell - Need Advice

    Damo and Nathan teach different facets/approaches to internal work. Damo's approach is primarily physical and movements. Everyone should do some body maintenance anyway. Nathan teaches sitting meditations as taught by Wang Liping in the Dragon Gates framework. Sometimes Nathan might teach some LHBF or taiji, but that would be something incidental and not mainstream for him. Damo and Nathan are not mutually exclusive, and I had a period of time when I studied with both of them.
