  2. Asteroid To Impact Earth On November the 2nd, 2020

    Isn't it true that some folks have been struck by meteors and survived? So perhaps meteor is just a wake up, knock on the head and not a kill shot. hmm...
  3. It is known

    true story. Neither 'party' is on our side. And we're not invited to the party... (though we may be on the dinner list).
  4. From a CNN story. Ian Webster created this interactive globe that shows the regression/progression of predicted Continental drift over the last 750 million years based on the models of paleogeographer Christopher Scotese. I find it fascinating. With it, you can enter the city you live in, or any city, or multiple cities, and then pick a time period to see where that location was in relation to the rest of the continents. It goes in roughly 20-30 million year increments from the present back 750 million years. It also gives a brief account of what is expected to have been occuring in evolution at that time. This image of 500 million years ago shows the three places I've lived all being underwater in shallow seas. https://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth#500 A bit of fun. And... Paleo-geographer. Wow... that's a thing now. How purely awesome!

  8. Entity attached somehow

    The accusations against you seem unfounded to me as well, as does the vitriol, which seems an overreaction coming your way in this conversation @Vajra Fist Your responses seemed to be to the point and unemotionally charged, not rude or accusatory, I read clear, unemotional descriptions of your experience, not an attack of any kind.
  9. Another Forum like this

    Which is one reason Sacred Geometry so resonates with me... To engage in a drawing of intricate complexity... my work in the moment is to focus on the next small aspect, which is usually quite simple... a line connecting two points among varying sizes of circles.

    *off topic thought* I come from a looooong line of boxers, out of Norway. onions... potatoes... we boxed a lot!
  11. Entity attached somehow

    It's an intriguing encounter to be approached in such a manner about this kind of topic. I hope if you find a conclusion to this... seems like you're empowered and have a plan. and when you do find/create your conclusion, I hope you'll return and share that with us. Good hunting.

  13. Entity attached somehow

    One question regarding your interview with Eric. Did you ask him to look for an entity? Or did you allow him to scan you with no promptings of what to look for?

    right??? thanks mate.
  16. The necessity of thought.

    I appreciate Limahong's pictograph communication. The younger generation uses memes to great effect... A sentence conveys only words. A picture elicits an entire myriad of reaction. A picture with some words can elicit much more depth in the intended definition of the words associated with the pictures and to me, I've come to really appreciate the meme style communication that is developing among this latest generation of digitally oriented folks... among whom, we are participants. edit to add: which is all the more impressive considering that Limahong is an Elder here... and not a millenial. He's embracing what is brand new, in his Elder years. to me, that's impressive.
  17. The necessity of thought.

    The influence of our language on our thinking is an often under-explored and under-estimated influence on the overall tone of our potential thinking (as it relates to local/ego/personality based thinking). There seems to me an undeniable conceptual foundation in english that every verb requires a noun to propogate it. Every verb is necessarily associated with a connecting noun which is by the structure of the language, implying that every verb of flowing motion is instigated by some static 'thing' which is a noun. There are no nouns in my experience of reality... every "thing" when engaged with is revealed to be a verb in itself, that is verbing its presence in fluidic ever changing motion and unfolding while also simultaneously interchanging and unfolding/intermixing with all other aspects of the aggregates co=arising with it. English to me seems limiting to thinking in many ways as it expresses as a clunky strange cobbled together manner of expressing concepts that it miscontrues the nature of in its manner of describing them.
  18. Spontaneous Qigong (Zifa Gong) 自发功

    My wife and I have experienced a white light that blots out all other visual reality, but with no pain to the eyes, or dillation of pupils. Upon closing my eyes, vivid mandalas regularly arise in the mind's eye of late.
  19. Spontaneous Qigong (Zifa Gong) 自发功

    When I ceased formal and rigid praxis, my practicing didn't end, it morphed into a less structured, less consciously directed mind based daily process (it's time to do x, now... followed by y and then z, etc). I noticed that all the main aspects of former rigid practice incorporate into various aspects of 'normal' daily activities. This included Stillness... Mindfulness... Five Element Organ Circuit... and Qi Gong. I seems at this point that in releasing a formal schedule of praxis, the opening that resulted enhanced sung and now intuition guides the prompting and initiation of when activities play out. The reduction in formal mind prompting to do things in an order also quiets the atmosphere and increases ability to notice some of the more subtle impulses and promptings that arise. This most notably takes place with Qi Gong as it involves responding to and surrendering to impulses to move, so is more noticeable consciously when it happens. Spontaneous promptings occur throughout the day and thankfully, for the last seven months I've had every day completely open, with no requirements (or ability) to go to work... so the conditions are supporting it nicely for now. With Mindfulness, Stillness and Organ Circuit, it's more subtle and I find I become aware of these processes now, much as I become lucid in the dream state... I notice it after the process has initiated and is ongoing. Conscious mind rarely initiates them any longer, just notices and goes along for the ride once, it's in awareness.
  20. The necessity of thought.

    I'm really appreciating the thoughts being shared in this conversation. The timing of a few of them this morning in particular, are deeply resonant and relevant. Thanks again Bums... you always come through.
  21. What do you see? (This is a test)

    I see Ganesh on the lower right clear as day... his awareness is projecting out the portal above the crown chakra for the impending meeting. His projection is exiting to meet and possibly confront the descending entity of the top left which is non-anthropomorphic for me, but is an entity of neutral, or potentially malevolent disposition. That is what Ganesh is assessing in more detail by projecting... so he's approaching the descending entity to determine intent, and approaching diplomatically (as an opener).
  22. Dissolving meditation not working after 8 years

    To me mate, you sound dedicated and quite self cognizent. I don't have an answer, but I empathize deeply with you. I have much compassion for the hell you are moving through... My wife has echoed similar experiences and sentiments to much of what you shared here, as she has processed severe childhood trauma for years now. Her approach has yielded some results, but nothing like what she hoped for... not anywhere near that. And often it feels like regressive, doing more harm than good to keep revisiting it. Her approach has a strong Buddhist leaning, but is not lineage bound, and is a self reflective, mindfulness approach, following thoughts to their source and then dissolving and releasing there. It also involved three failed attempts at Western Psychological Therapy and one bout of trying those pills they like to hand out to change brain chemistry. I found some deep resonance and some comforting insights and revelations to the process of dealing with complex trauma's in @Rocky Lionmouth's personal practice topic on Complex PTSD. Maybe check that out. Glad you are reaching out here. There are some remarkable people here, someone may well be able to help. *hug*
