How to Explain Eastern Taoist Magic? In 2023, while reading, I experienced a sudden and intense outbreak of somatic symptoms. It was so severe that I feel I needed to be hospitalized and placed on oxygen. Over the next 3 years, I worked with two postmodern Lacanian psychoanalysis PhDs who graduated in France. During that time, I did self-analysis and reading every day. I came to believe that everything was projected by language and symbols. As my symptoms calmed down, with companionship and increasing knowledge, I felt that I was making progress. But I also knew clearly that the core of my somatic episodes had not decreased in the slightest. When an episode happened, its intensity was exactly the same as it was three years ago. Later, half-jokingly, I contacted a Chinese Taoist priest and asked: “No matter how I look at it, nothing helps—could I be cursed or something? Hahaha.” He said he would take a look, and then told me: “You have Gong Tou on you, you have Bing Ma (spirit soldiers) on you, and there is an animal demon in your home.” I didn’t believe him, so I continued working with my postmodern psychoanalysts for another year. In the end, what I was facing drove me to the point of collapsing and I wanted to suicide. I happened to have a large sum of money in my hands, so I said: “I can’t spend it all anyway—just remove whatever ‘evil technique’ you say is there.” So he did. During the ritual, I still believed that the “evil technique” and “spiritual entities” he described didn’t exist at all. After it ended, I played around for a while and then went to sleep. The next day, when I woke up, I knew I‘m cured. And the psychoanalysis to cope with my somatic symptoms, which I had been doing for three full years, has stopped completely. My life has changed from 24h severe somatization、Vision distorted、triggers through music texts and sights to normal living. After that, through spending time with this Taoist, I learned a lot about the worldview they had. They believe that people come into the world through reincarnation. The purpose of life is awakening—cultivating oneself to truly become “Immortal.” Only by learning the magic teachings, with the help of gods/immortals, can one become an yin spirit after death, then cultivate into a shigong (master/ritual elder), and finally become a god. My original somatic symptoms have now completely disappeared. But what I experienced conflicts with what I learned on Actualized.org. How do Leo and you guys understand the idea that Taoist magic can directly affect reality? The Magic paper is for recovery，protection，luck，and remove evil qi.

@LastThursday Your position is that consciousness (or the mind–body–environment complex) functions as a self-regulating dynamic system. In that framework, appropriately timed and sufficiently targeted perturbations—such as suggestion—can shift the system from one equilibrium to another. On this view, there is no additional “mystical” ontology beyond the dynamics of the system itself. So whether it’s magic, psychotherapy, or theory and knowledge, they’re all just different forms of stimuli that change the dynamic system. The distinctive role of a “magician,” would be to concentrate symbolic elements and authority in a way that makes a intervention compelling enough to be taken up by the system. Is this an accurate representation of your meaning? I think suggestion—together with positive psychology, the law of attraction, or relying purely on imagination to change reality—carries a flavor of the omnipotent narcissistic stage, because it makes everything feel simple: extremely simple, and exciting. But my experience is that, on a certain level of reality, what doesn’t work simply doesn’t work. For example, imagination or suggestion won’t regenerate a severed hand, and it won’t bring the dead back to life. When I first confronted my condition, I relied heavily on approaches adjacent to positive psychology. Influenced by Leo’s discourse, I also developed amplified expectations regarding love and “God consciousness” During this period, I experimented with multiple practices that function, in different ways, through suggestion and meaning-making: Tarot, fortune-telling (as a suggestive framework) and “singing bowl” healing that claims to regulate bodily frequency, Tai Chi, Yoga. Each time I engaged these methods, I did experience noticeable shifts, and I took those shifts as evidence that the methods were effective. Yet in retrospect, the core problem did not disappear. What changed, primarily, was my interpretive stance—my hope, imagination, and belief—while the underlying reality of the problem remained intact. In contrast, I regard this Taoist intervention as credible precisely because my participation was minimal and psychologically “careless”: I did not actively cultivate belief, visualization, or expectation. I don’t believe demon are exist. I did not engage in sustained self-suggestion. And the outcome diverged sharply from all prior methods I would otherwise group together—Tarot, singing bowls, “energy frequency” tuning, positive psychology, mind–body–spirit teachings, post-modernism pschoanalysis, Tai Chi. The phenomenology and the result were not continuous with those earlier experiences.

Also, before I formally asked the Taoist priest to perform The ritual, I wanted to test his abilities with something small. Then something happened—he used I Ching divination (Bagua) to help me save my pet snake’s life. Based only on three random numbers I gave him, he accurately described the direction and location of my pet, the height/level it was at, and the surrounding environment. That information ultimately helped me save my pet’s life.

Let us open our imagination and try to feel into each other’s temperaments and the beautiful feeling within ourselves through music. Share the music that deeply moves you PERSONALLY. Those that are deeply connected with YOUR FEELINGS. Let us meet each other’s personalities through emotions.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IM SORRY. I truly love male breasts. A specific type of pump breasts. ↙♥️

@Florian So big of breasts. Lots of fat. I Love them.???

Yeah I like their face as well. The turning point of the structure is really delicate. I especially love the tip of their nose and the mouth shape.

MMmmmmmm..... I love beautiful people and animals. My appreciation depends on their existence. Especially those unique ones. If snakes, eagles, and JG don't exist. I can not acknowledge the feeling as now I'm looking at them. It makes me care about how they are. I will never don't want connections.

【Other people‘s subjective reality】that you perceive. To be respectful and willing to communicate to Understand. Are identical with anything that you believe in and keep trying to learn, right now. When you use the signifier “You” it only works if you are assuming things. Same as reading symbols and imagining their meanings. Other’s subjective reality relative to yours is the same imaginary concept but different boundaries. There is an extremely beautiful, colourful world in other people’s perceptions that‘s relative to yours. Thinking and completely ignoring this in communications are Equal to “killing other people”, For you, their perception really doesn’t exist. They have become complete object that is no different than a table or a rock. Imagine if the world you are feeling right now doesn’t exist for other people, they are blind and don’t CARE to understand you - They never can see you. It feels like your entire existence is denied. It is very easy to hurt people and perform arrogantly when you believe in this mindset.

Users keep ranting and reviling at people. They will be banned immediately. When the only rule maker keeps doing so. No mod will moderate it. People can keep communicating or just “speak” with peace and politeness, mind their own business, the show keeps running as normal. The structure is already corrupted.

I draw on Macbook with Cintiq ﾍ|･∀･|ﾉ*~●✨??

Through reading these words, a wave of tender warmth rose up my back. God...... ..........no wonder you keep going through this.

@StarStruck ???Thank you. I use photoshop X Cintiq 13HD, and love aquiline nose long face slender body evil dark scarlet emotional looking men.

@musicandmath111 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH OM GOD

@PenguinPablo AWESOME

@puporing Hi Lady, through reading your posts, you gave me a steady, clean, neutral and caring feeling. I feel you are a reliable people. I like you????|●´∀`|σ♥️????✨ @StarStruck Thank you sir_(:з」∠)_????✨

Ooooo0h，I feel now. Depressed nihilism is actually valuing something ideal in their mind, unconsciously. And rejects all the reality that seems can not fulfill them/ didn't give them enough love.

@Israfil I appreciate your translation, and the sharing of this song. The light melody taps in. Through reading the translated lyric, I can see the illuminating scene, the vision that is moving and floating in front of me............... These greetings from the lyric are so sincere. So much illuminating in my chest. The hope that ignites. It makes me cry. I feel the waiting and enthusiasm at the end of the song. Really authentic song.

One example such as Jorden Peterson I’ve only watched some of his psychology classes online, and it helped. But the teacher I really love, the people around me, and my close friends. Are all saying that he's shallow and looking down on him as if he's such a waste, and his whole life is a joke.☹️ I love how he looks, and his steady temperament. I just love one human existence. But every time I tend to appreciate it, I feel the memories come up of what people say abt him. As if, if I appreciate the symbol of his appearance. I also bear those criticisms about him from the people I know. I don't know how to manage it. If only talk about appearance. There are so many things. My biggest satisfaction comes from appreciating people's characteristics and beauty. But It is only recently have I come to find out this more and more. All these times, The people with the characteristic I specifically love, are might actually getting attacked and feel hurt by it. My perfect aesthetic human, the only human appearance I personally desire. With a strong sharp aquiline nose, l0ng face, emaciated body, and alternative dressing style. They say they’ve been torturing their whole life about how they looked, even using ‘bullied’ and ‘beaten down’ those words. I just really don’t know what to say. There are many other examples. My feeling and my perception bear the same rejection and violence if things are being judged. They are exactly what I love. But I don’t know how to be free from the trauma when I’m identifying with my own perceptions. I feel the trauma when a toxic intimate friend keeps attacking anything I love before I get into self-help. I’m afraid of being disliked & attacked. I'm not sure if it was them who traumatized me or if they just led my fear out to the light. I feel Everyone's criticism seems to have its point, I don't know what is true. I just immediately feel the loss and must change my mind to gain back the love. I adopt fears and I feel like a marionette in details. My only path is to dissolve it. I want to freely appreciate everything. I want to finally be able to love every human's appearance with my love totally open and draw out their unique characteristics. I want to feel free and fearless to create and appreciate. To love what I love in the end.

@Judy2 Mmmm...... you got the point. Thank you.

@nhoktinvt @musicandmath111 I wish you guys can understand and make connection with art.

@bloomer Hey I’m so happy to see your reply.(ﾟ▽ﾟ)/?? I love to listen to every song you share. I want to get to know your feelings.

These sounds feel to me like my sleeping bed, completely relaxed and freely diving into it. Very intimate touch of understanding. I am fully open to these feelings.

@Sincerity Ohhh, there are so many young people in this forum.
