• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It's been a while so...

I'm introducing myself again. I joined a while ago, made an intro and never managed to make any other posts. I hope to change that now. I would just like some good folks that might enjoy talking about things like faith, mindfulness, how we can overcome bias, and find greater harmony with ourselves and each other. I'm also excited about research I've been reading on biofeedback and AI or Machine Learning and VR, that could be helpful with this. I'm looking forward to sharing stories and or ideas and support. Bless you all :)

Welcome back! :) I would definitely be interested in hearing about Taoism and your mindfulness practice. If you're familiar with the teachings of Jesus, I would like to hear if you think they have any similarity to the teachings of the Tao.

Thanks everyone. And about this, yes I am familiar with the teachings of Jesus. In my opinion there is great similarity. To follow the Dao is to follow in the teachings of Jesus. The way of the sage.

I would have to say though that reading the words of Jesus provides more of a feeling of not being alone. I may claim to be more of a Daoist, but I have got myself through many troubling times by stopping to ask myself, "What would Jesus do?" That would be way making.
