Surviving the Forum

The purpose of a forum is for exchanging information and experiences and hopefully, in that process, everyone benefits. Unfortunately that is not the case in the open/public forum of most Chinese Metaphysical websites. Instead it is used to ‘bicker and insult with all due respect’. I understand the zealousness of these young protégés.

The greatest sin perhaps is to impose our ‘right theories’ unto others in the forum. No theory is correct until proven so through experiments and documentations. It is tedious but necessary. Whichever method or theory is fine as long as they yield results in a reasonable time frame of say, 3 months. When activating a wealth star 8 through water feature, wind chime or a symbolic ornament, we should rightfully demand to see at least some wealth creating opportunities and it should be the same effect each time the wealth star 8 is activated.

To be able to quote from the Chinese classical text is great but to interpret it is another matter altogether. We need to remember that the quote may be correct but the interpretation is just an assumption based on the interpreter’s understanding, not the original writer. Therefore the interpretation can be wrong unless otherwise, supported by empirical evidences.

There are those who used others’ thoughts and writings in forum to further their own agenda without due credit to those they copied and imitated. There are also those who insinuate and character-assassinate their way to popularity.

Respect and forum ethics are important. Otherwise, it becomes just other political game of power and money, status and fame, greed and self preservation. It is indeed the greatest irony of mankind to see a man of god killing another fellow human being in the Name of God and they all claim to be serving the same God, whatever or whoever that is in their heart. These have become a common observation in this modern world.
