Leaving a Religion disrupts Qi?

What timing you are talking 🤔 -
Dweller/Guardian on/of the threshold
Bindi replied to idiot_stimpy's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
To me the guardian of the threshold is that which generates karma, this guardian restrains the spirit or soul from the causal level until it is overcome, at which point the spirit or soul is free to explore and integrate the causal body with the subtle body. -

Is There Any Way to Know it is Real?
Daniel replied to DreamBliss's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
יהוה אלהי צבאות מי־כמוך חסין יה ואמונתך סביבותיך׃ O Lord God of hosts, who is strong like you, O Lord? Or to your faithfulness around you? -

Is There Any Way to Know it is Real?
Thrice Daily replied to DreamBliss's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
I would ask Archangel Michael for protection often, very often. So much of what you are asking for is reliant upon your ability to perceive it. It is all there for you. It just depends on your level of dedication and commitment. Whatever system you settle on. Prepare strictly before you take it up. Cut out all sugar and caffeine and smoking, eat very simply, maybe veggie for weeks. Meditate, have early nights, listen to soothing music, take hot baths, really take care of yourself.// Then book on the course, go on the retreat, or whatever it may be... You will have the experiences there, that the other participants will not, same teacher, same teachings, different experience. It is a relationship you are seeking to develop with these experiences and like with every relationship there is a firmly needed foundation, of trust and respect... Then you will see it very clearly with clear eyes. But I will insist again ask Archangel Michael to help you whatever path you choose, he will be there, in a heart beat. -
Training the Soul to do something
Thrice Daily replied to Ascetic's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
The soul is on a journey, what goes around comes around. The 3d world and time is cool, enjoy it, lie down on the ground. Be open to co create with it, the more you experience, the more sure you will be of your path, it will let you know if you veer off it. It may seem to narrow, but your soul will be doing what's it meant to be doing. Don't chase death man, be thankful for everyday above ground and revel in life's greatness. It truly is magnificent that everything is here, at your fingertips... -
before before was after after after after was before therefor before is after before after is once more...

That's great Yang, you really are surfing on the edges of the moment/consciousness/truth What are your perspectives on the phenomena of time though??? beginning middle end??? Do you think time feeds in to what you are saying at all. I think you are missing a lot. There is a lot more synergy you can bring to the table if you include time in your summations.

What is the opinion on dreams?
Thrice Daily replied to Cadcam's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
In other words, I think you can inhabit other universes (and times) and then come back to this one, I think dreams are potentially a conduit for this . I'm not 100%, but I'm fairly certain this is the case -
What is the opinion on dreams?
Thrice Daily replied to Cadcam's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
Brilliant read this thread thankyou. There are elements in this video that get close to my lived understanding of dreams and the links to mortality / immortality also the apparent opportunities that we have to live beyond 1000's of deaths paradoxically even in this one life. It has to me been possible to experience in waking, but also possible at times in dreamstates... I'm a believer that there are infinite universes and this is the true meaning of the potential to experience everlasting life. But we are limited as to one we can see and how far we can go in the choices we make here before reaching mortal death in this (and possibly many other universes close by) universe. Simultaneously though we are still running many different combos of outcomes and they can at times be viewed even partially controlled or at least partially experienced through the inner senses / dreamstates awake or asleep, maybe second attention is a better wording. I've been shown many things that defy the laws of time and space and have led me to be unbound from this physical form (and time) and able to roam, only then somehow, to regain consciousness and return back to this time and to this body, aware that this live will always loop back to itself, no matter how many times I die or become another part of time/universe. I've had many experiences like this over the years, It wasn't till listening to the first ten minutes of this video that I smiled, and thought yeah, it's nice to hear something so closely entwined with what I've been led to believe is true through life experiences. Hope you give the video a try, if you like this thread I think you'll love it. -
Please share your most impressive success in summoning or in having a visitation from an "otherworldly" entity and any other experience with magickal works you feel moved to speak of. _/\_

so what is the purpose, goal or skill associated with taking this step? Or subjective and elusive home truths you care not to share. -
Leaving a Religion disrupts Qi?
Thrice Daily replied to tianzhang's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
Try not to get too caught up on it, so many past lives, so many good times and bad, good deaths and bad deaths. No worries it is all just variations arising and passing. You will be alright I'm sure. Just live simple and basic, as long as you have money to do so. You will be blessed, if not work for your food and lodgings, you will find a way, and good health will follow. The love and light is with you always and through the universe it and you are recycled over and over again billions of years past billions of years, from dazzling stars to deep cold space , you were fine and you will be fine again. I hope to meet you on your path sometime, be free. -
Gosh ! I've read a lot over the years , including my young years . I cant think of one single book or text . I suppose the text of my initiation rituals have had the most effect and the best influence . Its a little difficult as at first they are not encountered as texts but 'living experiences' via dramatic ritual . But as time goes on and one becomes an officer in initiations one becomes familiar with the texts and even before that one is encouraged to examine and study them with your initiator to glean the content , rather than being swept up in the experience . Both are important , but I find those that neglect this later examination (in my experience that is sadly most people ) loose the greater part of their significance that extends out into other areas of our lives .

Yi Jin Jing/ Tendon-Muscle Strengthening Exercises
Thrice Daily replied to Thrice Daily's topic in Daoist Discussion
Sun Simiao (581–682 CE), often referred to as the "King of Medicine" in Chinese history, was a Taoist physician during the Tang Dynasty. Renowned for his profound contributions to Chinese medicine and Taoist health practices, he emphasized the integration of body, mind, and spirit for achieving optimal health. His writings on preventive care, exercise, and spiritual cultivation resonate deeply with the principles of the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic), particularly in their shared focus on the harmony of internal energy and physical strength. Key Teachings of Sun Simiao and Parallels to Yi Jin Jing Stretching and Tendon Conditioning Sun Simiao: In his seminal work, Essential Prescriptions for Every Emergency, Sun advocated gentle exercises that stretch and condition the muscles and tendons to improve circulation and overall vitality. He believed this practice prevented stagnation of qi (energy) and maintained youthful vigor. Parallel with Yi Jin Jing: The Yi Jin Jing's sequences aim to stretch the tendons, strengthen muscles, and optimize the flow of qi. Both stress that flexibility and strength in the tendons are crucial for health and longevity. Breathing Techniques for Vital Energy Sun Simiao: He emphasized regulated breathing as a means to balance the body's qi and calm the mind, stating, “Breath controls the root of life; with practice, it becomes as steady as flowing water.” Parallel with Yi Jin Jing: Controlled breathing is fundamental in Yi Jin Jing exercises. Movements are synchronized with deep, diaphragmatic breathing to cultivate internal energy, mirroring Sun’s guidance on achieving harmony between breath and movement. Holistic Health and Longevity Sun Simiao: His approach to health combined physical activity, dietary discipline, herbal medicine, and meditation. He believed in nourishing both the body and spirit, echoing the Taoist idea of living in accordance with nature. Parallel with Yi Jin Jing: The Yi Jin Jing is not merely a physical regimen but a holistic practice that aligns body and mind, supporting longevity through balanced movement and spiritual focus. Gentle Yet Effective Movements Sun Simiao: He advised against overly strenuous exercise, favoring gentle, repetitive movements that could be sustained over a lifetime without causing harm. “Do not exhaust the body but nurture it with persistence and moderation.” Parallel with Yi Jin Jing: The Yi Jin Jing emphasizes flowing, non-aggressive movements designed to build strength gradually, avoiding the exhaustion Sun warned against. Integration of Medical and Martial Practices Sun Simiao: As a Taoist and physician, Sun understood the overlap between martial training and health cultivation. His daoyin exercises, rooted in Taoist practice, sought to heal the body while enhancing its capabilities. Parallel with Yi Jin Jing: The Yi Jin Jing, often linked to Shaolin martial arts, is a prime example of integrating health cultivation with martial strength, demonstrating how physical exercises can have profound healing effects. Mental and Emotional Harmony Sun Simiao: He advocated for emotional balance, warning against excessive anger or worry, as these could disrupt the flow of qi. Meditation and mindfulness were integral to his health prescriptions. Parallel with Yi Jin Jing: The Yi Jin Jing incorporates meditative focus, encouraging practitioners to unite mental calmness with physical exertion, fostering emotional and spiritual harmony. Taoist Philosophy in Both Traditions Both Sun Simiao's teachings and the Yi Jin Jing reflect a Taoist worldview where balance, simplicity, and alignment with natural rhythms are key. The Yi Jin Jing’s emphasis on adaptability and resilience mirrors Sun's medical philosophy, where health is achieved by harmonizing with the natural flow of qi in the universe. Sun Simiao (581–682 CE) is also credited with popularizing the Six Healing Sounds (Liu Zi Jue, 六字诀) which is a practice I love very much, though he may not have been the original creator. The origins of the Six Healing Sounds practice date back to earlier Taoist and medical traditions, but Sun played a pivotal role in systematizing and preserving these techniques in his writings, particularly in his medical compendia like the Essential Prescriptions for Every Emergency (Beiji Qianjin Yaofang, 備急千金要方).* -
Surely we are most trying indeed!
-
Yes, you personally.
-
I was supposed to be there ? Are you asking me what book or text influenced me the most ?
-
Thank you, for a Daoist that’s a compliment (wuwei and all that).

Sure . I cant even envisage an alternative .... what , eat it in front of you ? I suppose though , I am coming from how I feel now . How long have we been 'stranded ' * ? How hungry am I ? [ I like to watch the antics of the animals here . if I pout food out the ravens call 'the food is here ' call and the others come to share . So I put some food out and one lone raven is watching . I go and hide , raven lands , looks around and starts hiding bits of food here and there , including underneath the fig tree on the front field . The he goes back to the rest of the food and calls out loud 'food is here '. The other ravens come and start eating , the first one stands back " You guys first " How polite ! Then comes in for a nibble . Unfortunately for him there was a bush turkey in the tree, it was there all along and watching , he drops out and all the ravens turn to look , he uncovers the hidden stash the raven put there and eats it ... the other ravens look at the first one ' Well ? How did that get there then ?" The first looks rather 'sheepish ' .

Thanks mate.

Hmmm ... I am seeing that as a non question so I will convert it to a question ; " Will I accept your apology ?" certainly Coby ... I consider you a mate (in the Aussie sense ) .... its just that sometimes we fall under 'undue influence ' .
