Greetings, Dao Bums!

My name is Somnus and I am a Left-Hand Path Practitioner in all manner of Right-Handed Spiritual Paths including but not limited to Buddhism of all Traditions, Daoism, Hinduism, Kaballah, Shintoism, Shingon, Thai Buddhism, Indian Asceticism, Malay Bomohs, Etc.

 

Just wondering if anyone in the Dao Bums are so right-handed orientated that they are afraid of LHP Spiritualities. If so, then I think the Dao Bums isn't as universal as it should be. Somnus.

Hello Somnus, and welcome.

 

Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go.

 

Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started.

 

For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day.

 

Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you,

 

Marblehead and the TDB team

 

 

Hi Somnus,

 

Well, I practice two sword Tai Chi so I am ready for your left hand path.

 

You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.

 

May you enjoy your time here.

Hello Somnus, I am new to Daoism, I hope that you enjoy posting hear. I have been generously cultivated while I have been attempting to convert my technology/magic, to Daoism terminology.  I get along really well with many of the worlds travelers, some of which you may have encounter on the left hand path. no worries. :)

Spoiler

In my studies so far energy movers have the best potential of becoming those who are able to do their own original start up magic rather then relying on just their knowledge of manipulating a outside force to do it for them. :)

Hi Somnus,

 

How about the pathless living wu-wei-lessly in the Void?

FYI:  Somnus was banned as a returning puppet account... he keeps coming back in a new incarnation to be banned again.

 

I guess he is rarely in the void :)

Howdy dawei,

 

So he must be avoided?

Is he declared - null and void?

I am scared - devoid of a fighting spirit.

Might have originated in the void (V-origin).

Let's put a title to your terse sermon:

 

Avoidance

Hi dawei,

 

But Somnus is unavoidable. So how?

 

- LimA

 

He is the gift that keeps on giving returning...  you cannot be an avoider :)

Hi dawei,

 

So Somnus is gifted.

Now I am very lifted.

I don't feel cheated.

Is he covertly tilted?

Why - I want to be an avoider?

As Somnus is such a provider.

Of eggs, rice and milk powder.

Now - you want to reconsider?

His persistent and insistent gift is but a mental drift.

 

You asked why he is unavoidable and I meant his power is to create an inability to be an avoider... 

 

Your desire to avoid or not is not within my power of voidance.

 

he provides much more than eggs, rice and milk powder...

 

He is providing a great dividing...

Hi dawei,

 

Now it is time to be serious.

 

I am relatively new at TDB.

I have not been exposed to Somnus before.

 

But I have read a few of your posts - credible.

You have come across as one I can put my bet on.

 

Henceforth - Avoidance.

I'd add, don't let the benign introduction fool you.  If you tap on his name, and look at his older posts, you'll find most them deal with curses and calls for destruction of..lots of groups.  If you look at his posts under a dozen different names, the tone is the same.. its not just wacko eccentric; its hating, cursing, I am messiah- kind of stuff.

Hi thelerner,

 

As per dawei, I had read some of your posts and creditability is registered.

Thank you for adding weight to Avoidance.

 

My earlier posts on this thread were nothing more than having fun playing words with other TDB members.

The name Sxxxxs was irrelevant. The contents of the introduction to this thread were never on my mind.

 

I am always wary/weary of negative energies. 

I will never ever "tap on his name, and look at his older posts".

Why? I don't want to knowingly touch base with negativities.

 

I would suggest the same to others.

Why bother with the "curses and calls for destruction of..lots of groups"?

 

Life is beautiful. It basks in the rays of sunrise and sunset thus:

 

There's never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same. - Carlos Santana

 

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. - George Washington Carver

 

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope. - Bernard Williams

 

The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire. - Pamela Hansford Johnson

 

 

"Curses and calls for destruction" will be awashed by walking in the rain ...

 

 

 

Avoidance to "curses and calls for destruction".

This member is a past banned member who keeps coming back in many incarnation.  As someone stated, he may break the record for the most attempts to come back as a new member to sneak in for reasons we can't know, except he can't seem to avoid us...

Hi dawei,

 

I think an appropriate response to such a member is a wu wei welcome .

I suggest that TDB has this indicated - "A Wu Wei Welcome".

And the rest is clear to unknowing members in terms of rectionary choice.

 

Despite this indication, if anyone wishes to respond - it is all in the realm of 'free man, free world and free choice'.

 

If I had known that Sxxxxx was such, I would have given the post a miss knowingly without judging.

 

Somnus - surely you must have your reason(s) living in a free world.

Take care and hope peace will descend upon you shortly if you are searching for it.

A good weekend.

 

TGIF.
