DeadDragon

Healing 2 sprained ankles from dancing within 1 day so I can go dancing on it the next night (took me like 5-7 days when I sprained as a kid). Healed a few cavities, no trips to dentist needed. Cured hangovers, and actually meditated myself sober while under the influence of alcohol and other drugs before. Haven't gotten hurt or sick otherwise in 10 years. Have helped to heal a few other people of mostly minor issues (I'm not a master). Used to be able to leave my body at will (don't smoke tobacco it is the devil). Experienced some kind of state of being close to "one-ness" with all things. Have gone without food or sleep for an extended period of time, with no detrimental effects, usually a day or so. Pretty sure with continued training I (we) could resurrect the dead, transform matter, fly / teleport, live forever, etc. Uniting spiritual with the physical. All I have to do is quit smoking and the way will become clear, but unfortunately there seems to be nothing in the world that helps me accomplish that.

That does seem pretty interesting, the new earth project. You're right, all sorts of people with their own ideas on how things should be done. I don't know if I agree with their methods. They claim they wish to end voluntary servitude...yet their supplies for building such a community are created through voluntary servitude. If we were to come an end to this servitude worldwide, who exactly would choose to work in mines? It is very dangerous and I find it hard to believe that anybody finds it "fulfilling", at best "tolerable". Many people in poor countries do so because they have no other choice if they wish to survive, or in America "because the reward / money is good". Also, who actually "wants" to work on an assembly line? They wish to end war, but yet they still choose to rely on materials that are difficult to procure or are in limited supply. This is the direct cause of war (besides religious wars). Whenever trying to solve a problem one must go to the root of the problem. Which is how eastern medicine works. Money is not the cause of all the problems, big controlling government is also not the cause of all the problems. That if you try and solve those issues, new problems will still continuously be created. These are just symptoms / manifestations of an even deeper underlying issue. The way I see it, one must eliminate everything that keeps us in the "animal realm". That keeps us living as physical beings separate from each other and our surroundings. That this is what "creates all of the problems", the strong sense of individual self. To be free of fear, greed, selfishness, concern for the future, physical pain, hierarchy, etc. I'm still working on the best way to accomplish that, or the best way of life to minimize or eliminate all of these things... Ion - Eat hemp seeds instead of meat...there you go no thinking involved. If you want. Not that you have to but I'm just saying it's an easy way to be a vegetarian.

Ah **** I made a fool of myself again. Love unconditionally I say. **** Confucianism I say. I wish I could delete what I said earlier.

Confucianism goes against the Tao Te Ching and in my opinion the core ideas of Taoism so **** that ****. When everyone is kind and respectful to every being, there will be no need for rules, religion, etiquette, authority, etc. Not that I am perfect, I still get angry on occasion if somebody ****s me over badly enough. Or occasionally getting angry at all the super rich people who control this world who are ***holes (our material but not our spirit, unless we give in to fear and consumerism and worldly desires), but then they wouldn't be rich if they weren't. The thing is, they are not in control. They are being manipulated by negative spirits, demons, whatever. They already hate us, thinking we're all stupid and ugly filthy little peons. I've heard them talk about us in such ways before. But it's not us who are the ignorant ones. Getting angry won't help at all, in fact it only makes them worse and it hurts your own health. They most especially need to be shown and given love (kindness, forgiveness, respect, etc) and healing. Who here can do that, for as much atrocity and ugliness they are responsible for creating? Most people say **** em, let them burn in hell. I recall going to a hippy gathering where everyone was all peace and love. But then the topic of George Bush came up, and almost everyone started chanting "Kill George Bush" over and over. It was pretty creepy. Unconditional love, not just love for those who "deserve" it. The people who need it the most are the ones least "deserving" of it. Nobody needs to point out to me that cultivating myself more would be more beneficial to the world. I'll be quiet now.

That's not quite what I'm trying to do. I have to abandon the Tao angle, because I'm not a Taoist. I have no interest in building temples or teaching people for profit. The church idea was only to avoid paying taxes. I can get along with anyone, no matter their beliefs or religion or habits, and that's not just talk. It should be easy to find people to live with, once a complete basic needs fulfilling system is established. Who knows how many homeless or broken or forgotten people would be interested. But for now I'll have to find the right community who works for profit and probably lives with electricity and grows food using natural methods. From there, the real planning can begin. I can learn the rest along the way. The goal being - how to make a comfortable (hot showers or baths, cool ponds, furniture, heated dwellings free of critters and insects, some type of plumbing, natural methods of refrigeration) and easy (not hauling water back and forth from a water source, not working 40+ hours a week once established, low maintenance, simple) moneyless life that is completely sustainable and renewable. That can work in a large variety of growing conditions, supplementing different crops that are regional, etc. Built from the ground up. Then, to share it step by step through video on the internet (if it is still around in however many years), for free, to anyone who wants the same. Electricity and metal simply cannot be a (renewable) part of this system, but it can be implemented if that's what the people want. It can be profitable if that's what people want. Using stones doesn't mean it has to be anything like the stone age. I'm sure it's possible, anything is possible. It will be a lot of ****ing work to set up, no doubt, made easier with more hands. Breaking / carving rocks and ****. Once developed though, then I can rest and meditate more.

More info, can't edit - it has or creates within you all 21 essential amino acids. Protein is completely covered with hemp. And yeah I am willing to work with anyone who's willing. "Be good to those who are good, be good to those who are not good." "The soft overcomes the strong". People of great virtue will overcome those of lesser. Because love brings greater happiness as well as more energy, which everybody wants, it's just a matter of time before we're all loving. When everyone has a say in the community (the superior not exalted). Where everyone has access to the same stuff (the people will not steal). Where security and safety is provided in numbers. Shout and your family (the community) will be there to help. Where rules and religions won't be necessary as long as everyone wishes to respect and love each other and every being. Love awakens people, it resonates on the same frequency as God. I don't know about you but I can feel powerful energy coursing through me when doing loving things. It almost feels as if it makes it easier to go into deeper meditation as well. That is pretty much the key to qigong and other healing modalities, love. I know people who eat like crap and don't exercise, some that smoke or drink a lot (but maybe eat better and exercise), living to be 100 with very few problems...just because they are calm and wonderful loving people. It is by far the most important thing for your health. Not to mention it elicits protection from heavenly beings, gets you into less accidents, etc.

That is a good read, thanks for sharing. I know that a lot of farmers focus on food...but is it possible to create a system that can function or be applied to anywhere, which allows for people to fulfill all of their basic necessities? One that is also in accordance with nature? Including soap and clothing and grain. One where people "don't have to go anywhere" where everything they need is within a few miles? Because once you have that, people won't need money, barter, etc. Where a farm community could grow without limit and take in any homeless and wandering souls. I've always thought hemp was the key, as it can grow nearly anywhere without pesticides and can partially fulfill soap and clothing needs, serve as insulation, fuel, etc. And it also has the best protein short of some fish, from what I hear. Salmon or hemp seeds are the best food choices if you were to eat one thing and nothing else, to survive for the longest...though of course a person needs other things too. I've been living off of hemp seeds for awhile and I am pretty healthy. Sure maybe it's not for everybody, but for the starving and the malnourished and the vegetarians...It also doesn't make soft clothing, without refining (I'm not sure what those refinements entail, but apparently it is possible to make it softer). Hemp can also be used to treat burn victims, without any scarring or crazy skin grafts, so I hear. Back when I smoked weed all the time, the plant always told me - "Don't smoke me, eat me and grow me!".

Could be you're right. If the rich are willing to participate. There is the venus project, which as far as I know is looking to create a technologically sound and renewable community (and therefore a model for the world). I was being a bit rash in my first post, insisting on personal conditions. Nothing wrong with technology if it is respectful to nature. Personally I think hemp for plastic and paper, which is renewable, can make a lot of stuff from, doesn't take chemicals to grow. That is a good thing. The federal government said they wouldn't interfere with CO or WA with marijuana growing (and I'd assume hemp too since it is the same plant basically). Hemp is also currently legal in 11 states last I checked. If we had water power engines, that power atmospheric water generators, that power water engines or tesla coils or something similar that doesn't take fuel, that would also be cool. The problem is much of our metal comes from slave labor, and I'd like to find a way to live without it if at all possible. (If rare goods are not treasured, the people will not steal). It still doesn't solve the whole, let's not share everything we have attitude and individual prosperity put before group / world prosperity capitalist society...which will have to come to an end as well if we're ever going to have a peaceful prosperous planet. Which I am not a model of at least not yet, and also which cannot be enforced upon people (not talking communism here). I have a feeling we are going towards communal living / anarchy. I don't know exactly how or what's going to happen, though I am feeling economic collapse and possible society meltdown within 5 years. I'm not trying to create fear, that won't help anything, but this is what I feel. I am feeling a sense of urgency that I have to act fast, find the right people (I'm going to WA in a few days) and spend all of my money on land / tools / whatever to contribute to an existing or forming community that wishes to become at least mostly self sustainable and renewable. As long as we don't have to use heavy farming equipment.

100 years at the maximum, not minimum. Sorry can't edit it.

People are better or worse than each other in some shape or form, in many various ways. Though that is really not true. None of this is true. This is how consciousness operates. It measures things. It makes observations, relative to its own self. Without individual consciousness, there is no better or worse, right or wrong, this or that. The truth is god / Tao is not "better / greater / higher / separate". But that is how it appears from our individual point of view. It is probably best not to measure oneself against anyone else as it just leads to pride / shame / separation. I don't know why you give me a hard time protector for saying that I don't want to hurt nature. That we are hurting nature. This is an observation, not a judgement. As long as you perceive yourself as an individual (human or otherwise) then you will be making observations about everything, and your entire reality will be a collection of observations. You can deny it if you want, sit in one place and reach perfect enlightenment, dissolving yourself completely. Total absolution of self, transcending of life and death doesn't require a person to do anything within the world. I'm not here for the same reason you are though. That is not my purpose. If that is your purpose, OK. Do that, instead of talking to us. This is also not what the great awakening is, everyone just forgetting everything and no more human race. It is about elevating our level of consciousness / awareness. And with such elevation comes love, peace, balance, harmony, heaven on earth, etc. Eventually, less than 100 years at the minimum, everyone who walks this planet will be a divine being. Or maybe they won't have to walk anymore, instead just flying everywhere . The sky is not the limit. "Ramana Maharshi pointed this out -he said yeah there are some highly enlightened gurus in the Himalayas but the karma on Earth is so bad right now that those enlightened masters can not change anything and so they have to remain in hiding." Either that or they just don't know how. One person can change the entire world. If they were creative and aware enough. Not me, not at this time. It has happened before, one person changing everything, who knows how many times throughout history. If one person can heal another using just their consciousness, if one person can heal a group using their consciousness, one person could awaken everyone. If that is what everybody wants, and what they want is not a selfish desire (which it really isn't since awakening brings love). Which is also just another illusion but it's worth sticking around for, in my opinion. Personally to start my life I didn't really care about many people, unless they cared about me. I hated the world, until I ate some mushrooms and lost my strong sense of atheistic self. Which was temporary. Then I went even further into selflessness, deeper into meditation without any drugs, and my love grew stronger. The closer to godliness one gets, the more loving they become. At least that has been my experience. It is this strong sense of individual self which makes the world a not so pleasant place for the time being for lots of people. It's the same reason the concord prison experiment showed that giving prisoners mushrooms reduced the rate of repeat offenders, in my opinion. Selflessness is the definition of love. It makes transcending life and death completely kind of difficult.

My dad was schizophrenic, jumped off a building. I've done a lot of drugs like him mostly hallucinogens including 15 years of weed smoking (which I don't want to do anymore so I don't), and I'm not schizophrenic then again I don't talk to western doctors / pretend Christians who do so out of fear. Not that I am better, there's plenty of better people than I, I just don't pretend. Am I strange, most probably. Which is fine with me, considering how "not strange" people act. Weed is also a strange thing, it cannot be classified. It's not a stimulant, depressant, or psychedelic. Some sort of combination, depending on the person and on the moment. It makes one of my friends energetic and talkative. It usually makes me quiet and lazy and subject to fear. Deep meditation no matter the technique, that will make you "schizophrenic". Open up your third eye (or your third ear) or your second body, become psychic, etc. see / hear / experience all of the spirits (good bad and neutral) that are living around us and sometimes IN us tell your doctor, get medicated. All of those things can happen on accident without meditation (and is common in young children, seeing ghosts). So if you are afraid, if I were you I'd just never meditate. But you're going to have to face it sometime (death). Shamans / healers / various people have been using psychedelic drugs for thousands of years. Personally I intend to take some salvia when I end up somewhere it is legal again, soon. She's a very nice and wise being, if you respect her...or maybe if she just happens to like you. I've asked her to take me back before, and she willingly did so. One moment in a jungle, next moment back in my room. Which no other substance has allowed me to do. The plant appeared out of nowhere a few hundred years ago, the natives said it was a reincarnation of the Virgin Mary. Originally growing only in one location on the planet. Doesn't reproduce, only replicates itself. Doesn't affect your brain like any other drug. Very much an individual being / entity, unlike any drug I've taken. It is extremely powerful though, not to be abused or taken lightly. People who don't know what they are doing, who have no respect or knowledge, have taken it and committed suicide immediately afterwards so yeah...not for the faint of heart. I'm not sure I can recommend it to anyone. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the soul killer. That and excessive anger / sadness. Just wait til you die and you no longer have a seemingly fixed and solid reality to call home, just remember what you believe is what is real. The spiritual plane(s) (and your yin spirit body, and everything's spirit) are much more easily affected / transformed by your consciousness. All of it illusion until you are unified with everything, both being and non being. Nothing at all keeping you from "that" except yourself and all of the information and misleading you've been subjected to and still believe. Doesn't matter who you are or what you do or what you've done, you're one with the universe if you can forget yourself. If you can let go of everything, including love. Which I cannot do, I love this planet and these people so much I can't let it go. I must help if I can, even though everything I'm working towards will be made meaningless. You already are one with the universe, so am I, and that's why there is such a thing as karmic law. Now until that point, what you do does matter. And treating yourself like **** will make you feel like ****. Too much smoking that's bad for your lungs. Too much alcohol bad for your liver. Too much other toxins bad for your kidneys and whatever else. Probably would be best if I didn't talk a lot of **** in my current state of low awareness. I'm sure I'll get some negativity for all this unacceptable by most information spreading. Oh well.

I have to agree that the way I've been acting is inappropriate and has just led to much squabbling. Much too much rigidity, stubbornness, arrogance, assertiveness, idealism, exaltation, fear mongering. I'll figure it out, I just need to get the **** out of this apartment and city and go and talk to people the old fashioned way.

There's a guy who's been living in Utah in a cave now for awhile, without money. http://www.details.com/culture-trends/career-and-money/200907/meet-the-man-who-lives-on-zero-dollars And what do you think about ley lines? Apparently they are (or connect to maybe?) very powerful places to meditate. Some better than others depending on what they've been used for in the past (black magic type stuff, stay away from those so I hear)...I don't know much about them though or if there is any validity to it, my awareness is fairly low for the time being.

"It's selfish to think that the world belongs to one person and that person is responsible for its well being, or anyone to think that actually hmmm" Who said this? Where are you drawing these conclusions from? Everyone has their own individual responsibility, nothing more, nothing less. It seems many other people treat their spiritual life and worldly life as separate. I've made this mistake before. Going far beyond the veil and getting my *** kicked by the universe. If you're happy with nothing, then go do just that. If you can cope with the incredible pain of death by dehydration, doing it with a smile on your face, go ahead. Stick your hand in the fire, and hold it there. Big words let's see you prove it. You don't have to tell me about the cycles. I know what the cycles hold for this world, great suffering is what allows for the opportunity of great growth. The "great awakening" is coming, and I would like to avoid as much unnecessary suffering as possible, and to provide the same for others, by learning to become what the world wants me to be. A person who has all the knowledge and skills and resources for basic survival and good health for the indefinite future, done so in a way that is respectful to nature, which I feel that everybody soon may need (or already need), that the large majority of people including me were never taught. The land is going to be free soon enough (at least America, that I know of), though it is going to come at a great cost. The lessons needed to be learned will be hard, and for many people impossible. Anything that doesn't abide by nature will be destroyed. A person, a society, etc. There are many people working to delay the inevitable. Although I can happily report that humanity will not all be destroyed. "Find the Tao within yourself and follow it" I don't have to tell you what God / Tao / the great spirit / whatever wants of you, which very few people understand. Because what God wants of you is different for everyone, and different depending on the moment. If you cannot perceive it, many different divination tools are available, or people who can do it for you if you do not have the skill or ability for that either. Though "it" does want certain things from all of us all the time. Which you will find in almost every religious / spiritual text or teaching. Respect, kindness, gratitude, all of the aspects of "love" basically. Sure we may not practice all the time, but that is OK, we either learn or suffer.

That is just what I am called to do. Or what the universe suggests for me at this time. "Find the Tao within yourself and follow it" "Love the world as you would love yourself" I can feel it, the Tao Te Ching, and the divination are all in agreement. I do feel as if it is the greatest book ever written, Lao Tzu has saved my life and helped me many times (literally speaking, not just from reading his words), even when I had not called to him. He is the one I trust the most, short of Tao. I'm still kind of young so not quite do I express all the qualities described in it all the time, such as right now. Nor do I expect anyone else to follow me or it, either. Many people have lived in communes for a long time. Thousands of years you know. In ancient China, villages were formed by 8 families with a central plot of shared farm land in the center, and a well. Supposedly Lao Tzu also lived in a village before he became a historian, grew tired of the corruption and retired. I'm not here to debate philosophy and semantics and what's the right or wrong thing for me or you to do. I know what to do now and that is to find some Native American tribe to join. Peace and thank you for the discussion.
