  Hi all, it has been ages since I last used Blue-mind's account. Blue-mind, who was originally a moderator for the HOUSE OF Culturals n Religious Beliefs>Truths>fictions, gave me her account for I don't know what reason (I have no wishes to moderate a Psychic forum, haha). Because I have no psychic powers , I feel I may not be the right person to do this job, so I let Longchen become one of the moderators since he should know more about that.
  
  However, just now I tried to log in Blue-mind's account just to see if I still can log in, however I am unable to do so. Therefore I presume my moderatorship has been returned to that respective owner, as I have never changed the password blue-mind has given me since.

  btw just for everyone's info, those things posted there are not reflective of Buddhist teachings (the psychic forum is not a buddhist forum).
  
  Buddha also never teach ppl to achieve psychic power as their goal of practise and cultivation, set rules against the display of such miraculous feats to public ppl, and only said that one may attain it along the way on his cultivation.

  Powers gained by a Buddhist through dhyana (meditation) is absolutely different from those that has to do with spirits. However it shld be noted that (from the point of view of a Buddhist), we should never meditate with the intention for psychic powers, that is Wrong Motivation (google for 8 Fold Path), and may even easily enter a deviate path easily influenced by the Maras (see Shurangama Sutra). Psychic powers is only a byproduct and shld not be taken as an ultimate aim. May we avoid walking to a dark path.

  Oh I see... hmm, but I cannot pass the ownership to you, since it's already returned to the respective owner.

  Actually, you can't
  
  I made you a moderator at that time because I was given access to Blue-mind's account, who is the forum owner.
  
  But now the blue-mind account was taken back from me
