Exploring the Qianfeng School of Wu Liu Daoism based in Beijing – and all things ‘Daoist’!

TCM is Highly Regulated in the PRC!

China: Hou [侯] Family Sentenced for Fake TCM Treatment – Full Story! (18.2.2025)

There is a tradition within Chinese culture of “Master to Disciple” transmission of spiritual, medicinal, and martial culture (I know – as I have been a recipient and beneficiary of it). This still occurs within the Chinese diaspora – and it still happens in Mainland China – but with the caveat that modern China requires a rigorous professional approach when it comes to medicine and selling treatments to the public. TCM has been aligned with the educational standards of modern medicine – both of which are available to Chinese citizens. In fact, there are entire hospitals dedicated to TCM within which all the staff are university-educated. Mainland TCM doctors also have surgeries throughout the West – and are often not cheap to consult (although some offered “free” treatment to Westerners during the Covid-19 Pandemic). Regardless, a number of law-abiding citizens in China disagree with what the Hou family has experienced via the PRC Judiciary.

The Great Paul Robeson Sr - Socialist!

Grover Furr: Paul Robeson’s Meeting with Itzik Fefer, June 1949! (5.1.2025)

The adoption of (fascist) Zionism by the “White” Settler Jews changed this perspective as Golda Mayer (Israel’s first Ambassador to the USSR) attempted to have Soviet Jews (law abiding citizens of the USSR) rise-up and forcibly take possession of large swathes of Soviet territory – referring to this land as “Greater Israel”! There was no reason for this other than Jewish “White Supremacy”. Of course, as we must continuously cover our backs when making such assertions, the 1975 UN Resolution (now often hidden or disguised) confirmed that Zionism is a form of “White Supremacy” developed by secular Jews in late 1880s Germany! If booing from the gallery persists – I tend to direct the curious to my Jewish friends at the “International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network”. The delusion associated with theistic religion is the problem – not Joseph Stalin or the USSR. I say this as an academic expert in the study of World Religion. When an anti-modern and anti-science (inverted) belief system is entwined with racism – humanity has a massive problem on its hands. I say exactly the same about any narrow-minded religion be it Buddhist (my own), Daoism, Confucianism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, or any belief system which advocates hatred instead of progression.

Prof. Grover Furr Applies the Academic Method!

Grover Furr: “Trotsky Was a Fascist!” – Talk on Trotsky’s Comintern Conspiracy to the Oakland ICSS October 20, 2024! (5.1.2025)

When it comes to historical evidence there is no such thing as “credibility.” All evidence must be subjected to doubt and carefully studied.

The Need For, and Lack of, Objectivity

Everybody has biases. But everybody can learn to be objective in studying any subject, whether it be physics or history. The techniques are basically similar.

Objectivity as a scientific method is a practice of “distrust of the self.” You can learn to be objective by training yourself to become aware of, to articulate, and then to question your own preconceived ideas. You must be reflexively suspicious of evidence that tends to confirm your own preconceived ideas, prejudices, and preferences. You must learn to give an especially generous reading to any evidence and arguments that contradict your own preconceived ideas.

Red Brigade - Soviet Emblem!

Sutton Red Brigade – Maoist Self-Defence! (7.8.2024)!

Every attitude regrets the loss of a mythic past that never really existed! All things change – and everything changes all the time. What is “new” and “unfamiliar” today – is considered “tradition” in one hundred years! The fascist mind set is riddled with greed, hatred, and delusion, is short-sighted and is unable to adapt to changing circumstances. This is how fascist ideology is defeated. Let the fascists come for they shall be completely defeated and their bodies thrown into prisons! As for everyone else – use your mind and body in a logical and reasonable manner. Everyone can resist regardless of situation or limitation. Every living person is equally valuable in this respect. A People’s Army does not discriminate and never rejects a recruit. A willingness to resist fascism (and destroy capitalism) is all that is needed! Nothing else is needed to progress into the future!

Mind & Boody Interaction!

Plotinus: Experiments in “Lightness” Training! (13.7.2024)

The lightness of conscious awareness permeates the (heavy) material body. The (heavy) material body is then as “light” as the conscious awareness that permeates it. The objective, then, is to “break” the habit of gravity which anchors the body firmly to the ground. When this can be achieved, the body will “float” up from the ground to a height preferred by the meditator. This is the logic achieved through disciplining the body and refining the mind. The problem is that gravity is considered natural and unbreakable through the agency of human will. An individual can, if they so wish, step off a cliff entirely detached from a belief in the efficacy of gravity – and yet will still plunge to their death. These are the concerns that spiritual fliers must confront and overcome. The tyranny of matter is a shackle that spiritual seekers must firmly grasp and shatter!
