Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 A form of meditation, practised by over 100 million Chinese people, banned. Could anyone speculate about the reasons why? (serious question, I haven't got an answer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Falun Gong is more than exercise. It is also about enlightenment. It was banned because of it's perceived dissident content in its philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean to say that the regime was afraid it would lose the ability to indoctrinate the masses because of the enlightenment?

Deeper in their philosophy is an ideology that is against a centralized form of control be it physical, mental or spiritual. Banning it is obviously a form of thought police. It seems to me that the USA is doing the same thing against religious groups who are self-armed (e.g., the Davidians), or choose the ancient practice of marrying right after puberty (e.g., FLDS). Whatever the excuse, a central government with unlimited power will always resort to such form of oppression against the people. Time has come for those of us living in US/UK.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 They are not against centralized form of control as long as it is them(the government) which is the control factor. Thanks Kris, this has allowed me to add a bit to a title to bring this video to others' attention: Could this happen in America? Think FLDS/Davidians.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Isn't this why pot is banned too? Jane Falun Gong is more than exercise. It is also about enlightenment.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hi Jane, i believe you are right - but there are other reasons too: (1) One of the alphabet soup has the monopoly in the drug market, making it illegal makes them tons of money (greed = money?) (2) We have known Hemp to have medicinal qualities (e.g., Hemp Oil cures cancer and other ailments) so, the Big Pharmas don't want that competition. It is appalling to me that a natural plant should be banned. Yet, nothing surprises me any more...

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 But anything that clears the vision - is banned - lol - CY, LSD, Hemp - Salvia Divinorum - none of them are permitted - lest we see the world with Spiritual clarity ......... not sure if the other " addictive drugs " are elevating or not ...........

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I noticed the Roundup billboard which says it kills dandilion and thistle. These are 2 plants that grow wild and have nutritional value and a potential market that could grow. (supply creates it's own demand) Some say hemp may fall into this category. They don't like things that they can't control. - " Jane MacRoss " <highfield1 Saturday, May 24, 2008 2:51 AM Re: Re: Falun Dafa, a form of meditative exercise persecuted/banned in China Isn't this why pot is banned too?
