Meditation makes you an arrogant twat

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

One funny thing is a studio owner that leases timeshare to yoga and martial art teachers told me the yoga teachers are the worst, most demanding assholes while the martial art teachers are mellow and easy to work with.

Haven’t seen or done most of those tricks since my early days in Tang Shou Tao. Never did the cranium buster

The "cult" mentality tends to be present in the "mystical" because proof certainly is not part of that vehicle based on its reality dimensions.
That is why "religious", religion, "holy dogma", etc can be spread amongst those whose mental capabilities are challenged. No realtion to spirituality or other intrinsic truth finding of those who live the sanctity of a conscious path.

I know the validity of, and the preaching of the parting of the seas, ocean, etc by Jesus but my rational base tells me and I have seen it, where similar things happen relating to observable and documnetable actions of tides, lunar schedules, etc that influence said events. As an example, even though my main base was Okinawa (35 years agoat the time, I just had to visit South Korea where there is an island (Cheju Island-excuse my spelling!) where people can walk to when the tides are low. When the tides come back in,, one would have no idea that s/he can walk to this island. Anyone not familiar with this will find it preposterous at face value.

My point is that certain personalities are more prone to believe preposterous things just because a wized, a Trump, or some mystical master from nowhere said it.

When i was in Chiang mai with a group of Taijiquan folks, i asked if anyone had learned from Adam Mizner. the response was he was a arrogant twat. so there you have it. Meditation makes you an arrogant twat.

I meet a lot of yoga doing anti-vaccer types and they seem to think that they are so healthy that they are entitled not to follow Covid protocols. But I recognize it from spiritual taiji types so it's not new just a sad reminder of what I once boight into decades ago with Americanize taiji.

Anything that makes one think they are superior to others may turn them into an arrogant twat.

Yes,
but >arrogant twat < is the transition point in developing any skills (meditation, science, MA, whatever...).
Unfortunately lot of humans sit there, and make "arrogant bubble" .
