And yes, the path is a liberal taken on "working and concentration camp". Useless to try to catch people with "hot dogs". No stillness if work isn't done right, no concentration without stillness, and Dukkha is the required "force", letting surrender (Saddha, Adhi-Sila, right effort arise). No remorse, the path develops by itself.

(Horrible talk... btw.)

I don't think anyone understands what you're trying to say here, Johann. Say it in German and I will try to translate, if I can.

He is relying on that someone is having lot of knowledge, nothing to do with language capabilities. If you have lot of knowledge then can spot what he is talking about. It comes from the thinking others know a lot, because of the attitude of the people in the forums are showing that they know a lot.
