Well.......the forum on the Barefoot website is for people who have read the books, taken an interest in Taoism ( among many other ways of thinking!) or need help with problems of health or spiritual in nature. We, ourselves, at times, wonder at the message the Doc puts across. Sometimes debates on the forum question the same things questioned here on this thread, the commercialism, some of the examples, the reference to catalan palaces etc etc. But generally, as the Doc is known personally to some of the team, we accept that he is doing his best to help others, if that makes him rich........fine - so what. We don't have to buy the products, like any commercial enterprise.....he informs people they're out there and caveat emptor, it's up to you.buy them. don't buy them.
The real point is that none of this works for everyone all of the time, some of it does for some of us, and he says it with humour, he doesn't take himself that seriously at all really. The Tao is complex to understand, he makes it easier, that's it. nothing else. This thread makes interesting reading, looking at the barefoot forum, many of the members have asked the same things, in almost as cynical a way as on here. But to be fair as long as people feel better aboutn themselves, does it really matter a fuck how the message gets to them? |
