Hello everyone

I've been lurking this site for a few months and finally decided to join up and say hello. This site has an incredible amount of intelligent and imaginative people. I believe since I have been here that my thinking has been more "outside the box" and I just want to thank the OP's and commenters. I enjoy you both, whether you make sense to me or not.

Welcome! Also from LA as well... Highly recommend you take Rusty up on his offer (Straight jackets etc). You're going to need them if you hang around here for any length of time...

Welcome to ATS!


I guess many people here are openminded about many things and they realize there is much more to this world than what is visible before your eyes as noise from media etc.

I recommend people to create their own good luck in the future. As I see it, if you have a good mind it will reflect in good actions in your daily life and you will really have a much better life and a much better future. Personally, a few years ago I came across a voluntary form of Qi Gong which is called Falun Dafa Qi Gong. It is free of charge and focuses on mind and body cultivation(improvement) and it is based on three simple words in daily life: Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance(includes Patience)...

Simple to say but who was not irritated at least once per day lately? It is really hard to improve one´s mind and embrace the people who do bad stuff to you... Anyway, my health, mood and energy have reached astronomical levels since starting this holistic change of myself. And I had huge amounts of black karma in my body which made me constantly feel weak, tired and depressed.

I guess the reason Falun Dafa is the fastest growing spiritual practice form in the world history is no coincidence. And of course the persecution by the communist party is no coincidence either...


So I recommend it to people and also recommend people to read the book Zhuan Falun which is free of charge: www.falundafa.org...

Just my two cents, I wish you all the best in the future.

/Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good, Falun Dafa is good
