excellent perspectives. Then, is it not that the heart is the place of focus, but that all the centers below and above must be cultivated to merge them in the heart properly? In the yogas of naropa and other tibetan texts they utilize specific colors of light for each center. The navel/ lower tantien is red. Why do you/ do not utilize these colors? (question for anybody)

To go along with what Dawei posted- The lotus that reaches the inner part of the heart Is the principal one, which has eight nerve-leaves. The nerve that reaches the inside of it is like a lamp. In shape, it resembles the plantain flower, Leaves opened and facing downward. The god who dwells within it Is as small as the mustard seed. The indestructible seed—the Hūṃ, Trembles like the snow about to melt…

Hey, Dawei! I thought you would enjoy this topic. Is that saying that the center in the heart is where you should focus? In between Heaven, UTT and Earth LTT, is the MTT / Heart. The place where the Earth and Heaven merge/ meet.

This is a great topic to discuss! It seems to be foundational and vital to the transformational process. The people on this forum are capable of bringing their various systems/ methods together to gain a broader understanding of who/what we are.

A Proposed Generic Outline of the Internal Path
Uroboros replied to Trunk's topic in General Discussion
I agree with your view there. Its not a stage of development, even though it may sometimes be. Separation is useful as far as delving into each aspect is concerned. After that, you play with it and you see how they blend and merge. Sometimes you need more channel/ tissue opening, then integration. You will still be integrating by doing channel opening, even if its not your main focus. Blending, merging, focusing, blending... -
A Proposed Generic Outline of the Internal Path
Uroboros replied to Trunk's topic in General Discussion
I agree with opening the channels and tissues as the first step. Healing the organ systems, releasing trauma, etc. All of that is like clearing the muddy water. The second part is where I am iffy as I have little experience there. The third I have more experience with. From my current understanding, the way I am trained is to go at it from the 1st and 3rd, utilizing them to enter the 2nd. Thereby ending in completion. Opening the channels is a big deal. Learning how to press the channels and cavities is vital to developing. Slowly working them out over time does allot. What else do you consider to be in the 1st category, Trunk? -
So far in my own experience, I can see how this way would be accurate. The life situations I was born into play a certain hand. Then, what I do with those can drastically change the outcome. Then, there are more...random events. Such as befriending one person, who happens to know someone who knows someone who's teacher is your future cultivation teacher...

Ah, I like Igor. He seems to be a neat and aware guy. Quite a few times listening to his videos I have heard him say things that are not often talked about so clearly yet make other things work.... Good stuff.

I thought real Tantra was about Desire in general. Utilizing what you are going through and making it a Path. Sure, deepening into the experience is one way I have heard of tapping the transcendent. Awakens presence, cultivates clarity and such. Other then that, I dont know much about authentic Tantra. Internet tantra is just....cum one, cum all!

These Skandha Demon States talks have been helping me allot... Its so powerful, to get a grasp on the subtle and not so subtle states we go through and start to perceive what is and is not true for us...or even us.

Best source for info about Kuji-Kiri?
Uroboros replied to Unseen_Abilities's topic in General Discussion
Trunk, you brilliant Trunkanator! Those are fantastic mudras! I love how they feel.. Thanks for sharing. -
Hey, Lin Are you planning on doing a show on Depression? That one would be helpful to allot of people.

I have heard that in Alchemy and/or Occultism there is something called the Negro Sol (black sun). What is it and how does it apply to the Work/ Path? If you happen to have any solid resources, I would appreciate links so I can study my self. Thanks!

hah! I just emailed you about this because I forgot I posted here. What a day! Im talking about the - non nazi- subject. Apparently, it is and was a thing before nazism took it and perverted it. Alchemically, it may apply to the Nigredo Phase.

Excellent topic! I have been dealing with this, anger, for awhile. I enjoy listening to your podcasts, always insightful and helpful! Peace

How can you tell if you are getting the real deal / indoor teachings?
Uroboros replied to BaguaKicksAss's topic in Daoist Discussion
I think that along with this, if you experience real benefits that last, then there is something there. Does that mean it is real/ authentic and complete? No. Just that it has substance. Its tough to know how far your system goes.... and if you were taught incorrectly so that later on, you have to start over. -

They probably talk about it from the perspective of "fluids" in the body and the nervous system. Tied in with some muscular theory. That seems to be, from what little i have heard, the way they do it when they "west wash" it all. Take away the subtle, the sacred, the traditions.....You know, cus we know better now. Not like those Ancients of ours! Primitives.

This guy made a record player that reads and plays record sized sections of tree trunks. It is truly beautiful. Enjoy! http://themindunleashed.org/2014/05/sounds-like-put-tree-rings-record-player.html

Hello, All! I have been participating in SonOfTheGods NeiGong Forum/ PPF for a bit now and I have noticed an interesting pattern that I think may be worth sharing/ talking about. The pattern is that more people read then share. These are active, participatory, organic processes we are learning..so why not participate? Does it have to do with the method of teaching (internet/ forum)? How is that different, outside of the visual, from videos? It is often difficult for those interested in these methods to learn from a skilled teacher and so many turn to videos and books. Could a forum format such as this not be the next step up of that format? If it is not so much about the quality of the format, is it the quality of the teachings? I have enjoyed and experienced some good results from trying out what SOTG has shared with me. I also think that his theoretical knowledge is sufficiently deep. Do others have different opinions? Yes. Does that mean that one is wrong? Maybe, maybe not. That is the beauty of the forum format! All sides can share their objections, why they object and what they do differently! Of course, there are many things that are dangerous and should not be shared so freely. Does that mean we should share nothing at all? There is a break, a schism, a disconnect between many who follow these Paths....We are often most blind to our own ignorance and failings then those of another. We will judge and criticize another before we look at our selves. Responsibility can be a jagged pill when filled with Truth. To not just object, to clarify. This would be a far greater use of our time and the potential that is here. I hope we can Accept Truth and open up avenues for betterment and Cultivation.

Do you trust Daniel Reid health advice ?
Uroboros replied to marcus2013's topic in General Discussion
If the internal systems are healthy, strong and coordinated, the external will show signs. Same if there is disease. Does he look healthy? Not to me, no. Do I know enough to say, clinically, whether his body is showing signs of health or disease? No, I do not. Another thing to consider is that he may have the knowledge and not apply it. Also, the things he knows may not be enough to counter-balance the toxicity of our environment/ there are missing pieces to the puzzle of health that he does not know. Peace -
You are welcome! If you are going to go the path of celibacy, of constantly conserving and circulating your sexy qi, I would recommend that you have a cultivation practice of some sort already going. Otherwise, much frustration may occur. Another thing to keep in mind is this- these are lifetime practices. Not something you do and master in a month or even a year. Take your time. Focus on consistent progress. Allot of people mess themselves up by expecting it to go perfectly right away and when it does not, they feel so ashamed and afraid!! OHH, the jing I lost! Oh, the horror!! Yes, you will spend some energy. Yes, you will fail and succeed. Try to be as realistic with your expectations as you can. Good luck!

Well, the only thing I can say is that no birth control is 100 percent effective. Condoms range from 60 to 80 percent, varying. Some even say 30 percent. Birth control pills (for women) is much higher, 80 to 90, I have heard. Even then, nature will take its course no matter our intervention, sometimes. Its a wild world out there! As to the practices in the book for men, anal lock being one I use, it works great for managing ejaculation and conserving/utilizing your energies. Is there a chance you can still impregnate your partner? Yep. There is probably always a chance. Its something you have to talk about and accept if you have sex. On the karezza sex, the information I have read about it states that it is not just non-ejaculatory sex, it is relaxed sex with little or no movement. Its a focus on sensation and connection with your partner. I have mostly non-ejaculatory sex. It can be quite wild. Now I ejaculate once every 2 weeks...shooting for a month now. That did take nearly 6 months of intense effort to get to. If you do the techniques, you can achieve a great sex life without ejaculation or ejaculating the sperm into the urethra/bladder and pissing it out. Good luck!

I had something along the lines of a "psychotic break" for about 8 years. Linear time, with a stable point fractured. Reality would change, places people things, then pop back. I would do things, such as talk to people, then later on they would tell me it had not happened. I saw things others did not, people animals, etc. Memories of things, fuzzy and dark, beasts and nightmares wandering in and out of the cracks. The world around me was chaos, ever changing, shifting realities, combinations. Even my mind, memories would shift and change. Only "I" was solid..even then, "I" could not be sure what"I" was and if "I" was changing. Nothing was "real", nothing solid. Nothing could be relied upon to be there the next moment. I felt the emotions of every person that was near me, I felt their physical pain and took some of it on randomly, I felt the grass and leaves dying and growing. All this was intensely painful and I tried to kill my self a few times to end it. Eventually...I got stronger. I was able to come out of the intense pain without killing my self and over years I was able to handle it better...Then, one year I reached a point where I was more stable. Where the pieces fit a bit better, the cracks a bit smaller.. I still have these experiences. They are infrequent and mild when they do happen. There are periods where it happens allot, 5 times in a day or so. I do not yet know why. It is very hard to exist in the here and now. I am half here and half not. That is all I know from my experiences. I hope you can help your friend. I was able to get through it because I had some people who provided support/ love/ something to look forward to. Peace
