Siddhī are superpowers attained by Hindu or Buddhist spiritual training. Examples for siddhī are tum-mo and lung-gom. I find astounding how differently they are treated in the West. Alexandra David-Neel seemingly is the only Westerner, who ever saw a lung-gom-pa. Hence lung-gom is believed to be something mythological. Tum-Mo on the other hand is an […]

All bullies think that they would be superior to their victims. This is wrong in most cases, but not in all. Bullies can be found in all positions, for example in the position of moderators of online forums or social media. Then they are likely to abuse their power for cyber-bullying. This happened often on […]

A lung-gom-pa is somebody, who is trained in lung-gom. This is an old Tibetan practice, which enables to run for forty-eight hours without rest and to cover two-hundred miles in a single day. Lung-gom has never been known well to Westerners and perhaps already doesn’t exist anymore. Also could be that lung-gom is practiced in […]

Meanwhile seems to be well-known that karate is better made a secret. Also Martial Development has a blog post about this topic. There’s a problem mentioned, which I somehow had overlooked.

Another episode of the same documentary series got broadcasted. I this time but the last minute didn’t watch it. This episode was about man-made climate change, which the Creationists somehow bought. Even in the oversimplified version of global warming. Climate change or global warming means that environments get altered and extant species become extinct species. […]

The USA is in a kind of war against Iran and prepares for war against the People’s Republic of China. Neither Iran nor the People’s Republic of China are able to pose a threat to the USA’s armed forces. Even Russia isn’t able to do so. Yet the USA aren’t likely to be victorious in […]

I’m in a hurry and aware that I in the last time neglected religious topics, so here only a link to a Tweet from the Islamic World.

Bullies do not only make false accusations or exert violence. Bullies also give unwanted nicknames and try to trade insults with their victims. Refuse to take part in this! Don’t trade insults!
