Then I suppose the question you should be asking is, why do you want to "convert" anyone to your way of thinking?

(which is an ironic thing to say considering that your general opinion on the content of what you believe is shared by many here)

My very first venture to the Jediism community started off trying to be the nicest and most polite person I possibly could be, I was eaten alive.

I've actually had less problems since I've adopted the "BS stops here" approach.

He, truly, doesn't belong at Jedi sites that exist now. In my opinion, he needs to make his own site. He has unique enough views to justify one. And, for the record, I'd join it.

me too. but only to climb the ranks quickly and seize control in a bloodless coup. like a Jedi Spring.

I agree Connor. My point to him both privately and publically has always been that he has a lot to offer, he just needs to offer it in a way that doesnt make people want to reject whatever he says outright.

Des, part of me wonders if youre kidding...

Converting not so much, getting someone to see for themselves and make up their own mind yes.

I'd like to find one person like myself.

You haven't yet mentioned what progress you've made so it's hard for anyone to understand what your talking about. All I've seen is bits of Tibetan Vajrayana and some QiGong bundled together with some unconvincing videos.

There are plenty of people here who practise various things to achieve progress in different avenues. Including those very same things as you!!! All you need to do to fit in here is focus on your own path and be open to sharing with other people if they are interested, but without attacking other paths like calling reiki and vipassana 'BS' etc.

To each their own is indeed true, and I wish you all the best in whichever pathway you choose to follow...

However, balance in all things is necessary not only for life in this community, but life in the international community as a whole. Going to one extreme or the other is only a way of seperation, so why not maintain a presence here to draw council, discussion else inspiration when needed for your own works?

As Master Jestor pointed out, it does seem odd to throw out the TV after enough Game of Thrones else DBZ, both of which are near impossible to get bored with So, why cut your ties here permanently if it can serve to help you in the future?

Food for thought

I hope you realize how different Neigong is from Qigong.

dude, they both contain 'gong', gah. what more do you want?

I've tried but you know it winds up being used as ammo against me so I don't any more, rather I just tell people to see for themselves, there is more to reality than you believe or your popular paradigms allow for.

What I've experienced is about as believable as a grown man who thinks he is a Quincy and shoots spirit arrows from a spirit bow while talking to thor.

It's best I keep what I've experienced to myself and encourage people to see for themselves.

you do realize how ironic this seems. as harshly as you judge others is most times as harsh as they judge you. you are not qualified to pass judgment on others. neither am i. not even jestor. pretty much no one.
