fwiw, I have always linked to external images. I've just considered that standard, here. I get that it's more complicated than that, technically, but for me I've left it at that simple solution. There are free sites where I store my own unique media (wordpress, pinterest, undoubtedly there are others) if I need to post my own stuff. That's (and what @steve mentioned, above) where we're at on that TDBs issue. Thank you for the various tips from others. - Trunk

"Beginnings" - first (mis-)steps n' (dis)orientation on the path
Trunk posted a topic in General Discussion
There's a variations of the microcosmic orbit thread in the Daoism section, which comments on, inspired me towards ... this broader topic of "Beginnings". I think that there is a wide variety of aspirants here, with a wide variety of background ... hopefully mostly anectotal (we might touch on classical complete perfection, but I'm not obsessing on it)... and this might vary widely depending on tradition and specific internal path, goal. When you "started", was there some broad orientation/one piece maybe/method/teaching that you received that was especially helpful? (or, on the other hand, led to trouble?) ... and if you were to give some very short piece of advice, (doesn't have to cover all the bases or anything) for beginning? -
"Beginnings" is an interesting topic that we are exploring here. (Started a thread in General to explore the topic more broadly.)

@Yae, Done! - Trunk p.s. Also locking this thread as there's a pinned thread for change name requests.

Any clarification on what the foundation is?, from your perspective (influenced by the background you've mentioned), to the degree that you feel appropriate to share. Perhaps in very broad outline. My view is that we are going through a profound shift, over decades, in the popular-Taoist culture - on what the emphasis, order of approach to the inner work. Always interested in hearing educated views.
