  1. Clearing nostrils for meditation?

    Good info thanks!
  2. Everyone needs a hobby :)

    Intense art!
  3. Filling up the lower Dan Tien- How and Why

    I am wary of 'transmissions'. They amount in my mind to 'shortcuts' which I feel are in the long scope, counter-productive. Like a child who skips crawling and goes straight to walking, will at some point revert at a later point to that lesson. Some things can't be skipped. I also feel pretty strongly that there are no accidents and that 'patterns of avoidance' of certain lessons, actually prolong the experience of that lesson, than just allowing it to flow naturally. When realization occurs, transformation of prior energy systems is instantaneous in my experience. Like a candle banishing the darkness of a thousand years. I seek out teachings. Those that resonate, remain. I welcome conversations, or lessons, but transmission makes me uncomfortable.
  4. Clearing nostrils for meditation?

    I've been noticing a circadian rhythm to my nostrils. One will constrict (with no seeming external condition) while the other is wide open. This will shift through the day every couple of hours, but frequently I'll notice that one nostril is active and the other passive. I assume this has to do with the subtle energy channels, but that is pure intuitive response on my part.
  5. The decline and eventual fall of the USA as world superpower?

    Chomsky is another hero of mine. <deep bow>
  6. Clearing nostrils for meditation?

    Nice explanation! I especially like what you say about not using sinuses to facilitate the movement of air. For years since moving to the Southwest, I suffered from harsh sinus conditions whenever the Santa Ana winds would blow. Three years into regular qigong practice and now, my sinus passages stay wide open, even in the face of my recent bout with the flu.
  7. Scientists achieve levitation using sound waves

    Dr Jarl, Swedish. He met a young Tibetan while studying at Oxford in the 1930's and ended up traveling to Tibet some years later by request to treat a high level lama. As a reward for his service, the Tibetans allowed him to witness one of their levitation techniques in a construction project nearby, raising heavy stones some several hundred feet up a cliff site to where a statue was being erected. Rather than a reward, it was something of a complete mind-job as you can imagine. Word is, Jarl returned with a camera to record the process and that film was confiscated by the British when he shared it later. http://www.rense.com/general42/soundlev.htm Not the original article I read... but it's there. Another article attempting to bring some scientific perspective to the process. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/antigravityworldgrid/ciencia_antigravityworldgrid08.htm Coral Castle and Ed Leedskalnin also come to mind when this is mentioned. Although the Tibetans achieved their levitation via nine monks, some using voice, others horns tuned to certain pitches and others with drums of specific diameter. Ed was a 110lb guy working with home made tools alone, mostly at night. Fascinating stuff.
  8. New Year resolutions anyone?

    Remain silent, or say something better than silence... Compassion before Judgement... Increase Gratitude...
  9. Scientists achieve levitation using sound waves

    Love this! Love more that the Tibetans have been doing this and much more for thousands of years.... Just goes to show, no matter which path, they all lead to source.
  10. Clearing nostrils for meditation?

    I love my neti pot!
  11. Inner Visualization

    My inner vision of late (last few years) involves mainly geometric patterns, intertwining, merging, flashing, pin-holing/expanding circles of colored light, oscillating inward and outward. Then more infrequently, there are the flash images that in a brief moment, convey complex movie like, storyline situations, some very mundane, familial and comfortable, others quite alien.
  12. The decline and eventual fall of the USA as world superpower?

    six words, otherwise innocuous but when coupled in a certain way, turn America into AmeriKa. Military Industrial Complex Federal Reserve Bank
  13. What does your Qi feel like?

    buzzing, static, magnetic spheres and small moving magnetic fields, shells around certain body parts, puffiness in the skin, clouds flowing over the skin, water flowing under the skin, wind flowing into and out of the hands come to mind...
  14. What I see

    semantics for entertainment on one level for sure... but a very relevant, relevancy of the forms within the 10,000 to make up the rest. no matter the path, from and to... one source.
  15. A sovereign God question

    Free the senses to be free of the senses.
  16. How to Kill Robotic Energy (for Martial Artists)

    Flow is now! Love this!
  17. Dude is seriously one of my heroes...
  18. What I see

    Harder for me to differentiate the pond and Marblehead. But I give benefit of the doubt... until the fish start typing.
  19. ring the bell and listen

  20. How to Kill Robotic Energy (for Martial Artists)

    I prefer sending out tidal waves of golden light that absolutely smother my focus in love. Topics of conversation shift, some folks leave, others come close. Remarkably effective.
  21. What I see

    Very nice. Love it. I've come to a similar point albeit from a very different perspective not being a materialist. I (insert idea/concept of what/who I am - still don't know for certain as still discovering) I would say I participate in an experience with something I identify as fish. Of which, there is one in what I call my home that seems to me to be blue and red and quite responsive whenever I walk by the tank. This however for me, is not proof of fish, or not fish, nor fish and not fish. It is proof of perception, which may or may not be illusion. ps. I'm no buddhist and only a partial taoist.
  22. What I see

    Ok I'll bite. Define have.
  23. What I see

    there is no fish
