The first question would be, "do you know what enlightenment is?"
Enlightenment can't be described because it is an experiential state of being.
After knowing what it is then you can evaluate if it is really desirable. (for others..).

Animal-based foods are generally more resource-intensive and environmentally impactful to produce than plant-based foods.
Beef production requires 20 times more land and emits 20 times more greenhouse gas emissions per unit of edible protein than common plant-based protein sources such as beans, peas and lentils. Chicken and pork are more resource-efficient than beef, but still require three times more land and emit three times more greenhouse gas emissions than beans. When it comes to resource use and environmental impacts, the type of food eaten matters as much, if not more, than how that food is produced.

Thread discussing if non-vegan diets are sustainable in the modern age and moving forward into the future.

In the movie Crocodile Dundee, the main character, Crocodile Dundee, is in Australia and puts a large water buffalo to sleep using his mind.
This seems like some ancient aboriginal method, he calls it an "old bushman's trick" in the movie but I have yet to find any real historical correlations.
Note: Of course there is Tadashi Kanzawa who does this in real life, but he also doesn't claim any historical correlations. (at least to my knowledge).

No actual proof of moon landing. Any that may have existed are destroyed/missing.

There is a point in meditation where reality floods in. This complete observance is the dissolution of self. What happens to "you" at that point, well it isn't surprising if the body stops breathing. Thought is what perpetuates breath; the autonomic systems of the body can actually be controlled.

Interesting native americans knew that rubber soles make people sick.
You dont even need to believe in energy, the physical science is there.

People talk about these "great changes" and "alien invasion" "nuclear war" because they have lost and are secretly praying for a reset button.

Any thoughts on Tibetan martial arts? Have any of your systems been influenced by Tibet?
Exercising the kidneys sounds interesting to me. I can see that being beneficial, I believe sitting a lot is bad for the kidneys, which most modern people do.
I wonder if your teachers describe the experience of opening the third eye?
Who is this BO MA..? Bhodhidharma?

Wim hof and Tadashi Kanzawa fake too? Just because you can make fire with chemicals that means bio energy isnt real?

11 hours ago, Gerard said:Get up early in the morning, walk around in the courtyard, loosen your hair and relax your body. By doing so you will generate mental strength and act in harmony with the qi of spring, thus following the way of nourishing life. If you live contrary to this principle, you will harm your liver.' Everybody should be aware of this basic principle.

Is he saying that if you dont wake up early, your liver will be damaged over time?
Is enlightenment really desirable?

Experiential states of being cannot be understood through ideas and descriptions. This is the difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
It's like thinking you know what taking LSD is like because your friend told you about it.
