AWESOME

This post is intended to give information to those who need it and those who don't or shouldn't I encourage to not follow it. This is information for people to pick out what works and throw away what doesn't. 1. Realize that greatest good is greatest good. See your life as a timeline present and future. See how small the present is compared to the future. Realize truly that there is only one path of greatest happiness. Happiness is happines end of story. Past Present Future its all the same. You are either self destructive or your not. Work will always equal a much greater output than what was input. 2. Only do what you want to do. Never do what you don't want to do. Say you are fat and want to eat another burger. Its good to want that burger. That burger brings you bliss and that is good. But want even more and with the same and greater happiness to fast. To be empty of it. Sense that goodness. 3. This is a hard world. We can all agree on that. Sometimes one misstep is all it takes to destroy your entire life. Unawareness is not something you can afford. When you ride a bike is it OK to close your eyes? No. No it's not. All of our life matters. Its dumb to do certain things. Its dumb to be irresponsible. If you look at a man getting arrested for stealing something you may feel sorry for him and feel its unfair, yet you still realize hes getting what was coming to him. Thats how the world is. He was simply and totally negligent. We cannot afford mistakes like that in a world with consequences like this. Take this philosophy to the rest of your life. To responsiblity. You can't afford to ignore reality. You can't afford to let your emotions take over your mind. One of the big lessons of life is to learn to use your mind and logic over your emotions and body. 4. Have awareness of reality. Think about all your goals and consequences that you really will get if you do a certain action. Think about your goals in full detail, savoring each delicious emotional moment of them. Think about all these things a feel them fully, be with the bliss of it. This action DOES = this reward. Simple. 5. Not following greatest good (whatever your mind has calculated that to be) is self-destructive. How can you complain of pain in your life if you are purposely destroying yourself? You are the master of your destiny and we create our own demons and angels. And how can you say you are logical? Not following the greatest good is not logical. Logic is a basic priority for all beings. And how can you say your are smart? And how can you say you are good? Choose to be smart choose to be good choose to be strong not weak choose to be logical choose to be self-helping. 6. Be happy. Think of ways of thinking and perspectives that bring you bliss. Have confidence and optimism. Look at every little thing in life and see how much you love it. What if it didn't exist? That would suck. Remeber books you've read or dreams you've had where you saw reality in a more happy and optimstic way. Like attracts like. Start with feeling like a winner and life will follow that. Good things happen more often to happy people. The universe has deemed they have learned the lesson of appreciation. Beleive you have suceeded already. 7. Believe you can do anything you set your mind to. Ghandi said "First you dreams are impossible, then they are improbable, then they are inevitable." 8. It is a simple equation. The universe gives you more pain until you learn your lesson. When you learn your lesson you dig your own self out of that hole and no more pain is had. Realizing this helps you learn faster. 9. Beliefs and thoughts create your reality through action, perspective, and manifestation. 10. Accept pain. When you make a sacrifice for the greater happiness accept the pain and let go. Just let go. Just accept. At the same time if the pain is truly great don't just sit back and let it overtake you sometimes a simple remeberance of a goal or something that makes you happy makes all that pain go away. 11. A person is only truly judged on how great or good or socially(in relation to other entities) successful they are by three things: How good they are. How intelligent they are. How responsible they are. These three ingredients equal perfection in motion. They are all different sides of the same coin. All divisions are false and all divisions are true. But goodness intelligence and responsiblity will create all goodness and all greatness in a human's life. Responsiblity is hard working-ness. The ability to sacrifice for the greater happiness. Intelligence is wisdom, cleverness, experience, smartness. Goodness is the greater good principle in relation to self vs others. The ability to work for greatest happiness not just in your own life of present vs future, but in self vs others. Skill is the result of intelligence and responsiblity. 12. Its so simple, so obvious. You may be asking yourself "How did I not realize all this before" You didn't see it because you didn't see it. Thats the nature of unawareness in our reality. Unawareness is the biggest human problem. Your body is the ultimate commander of your actions. It has many old messages in it that keep you in your old self-destructive ways, your non-greatest-happiness ways. You confused and lazy ways. The way to fix this is simply repeat the new messages strongly and often. One day I promise you it will all change like the straw that broke the camels back. You will truly see it all. Happiness is happiness. I love you all.

Indeed that was one long post. However its my fingers that got the much needed exercise Thank you. Right yeah everyone is so differnt its hard to comprehend sometimes. I only mean to provide the needed stimulus to those who need it, those who don't should ignore it all. When writing the post I was combining the meanings of suffering and pain. Not everyone carries the same sense of definition. I was really talking about pain not suffering. Talking about it is easy. Thats why I want to dare myself to not talk about it and therefore show people by walking it. However sometimes the walking is the talking Thanks Best Wishes to you as well.

This is not writing from the mind, its writing from the heart. There is no presenation other than the most honest one. That having been said I totally agree and you are right to point that out. Thank you for the lesson.

I truly believe the energy channels are not physical. They are not nerves or anything else. They are energy.

Haha okay you asked for it. Look for my other thread I just posted we can discuss-ify more

Is it good or bad. Depends on your training your perspective. Then again what does any of this matter? Figuring out whether something is right or wrong when there is no clear answer is a waste of time. Fighting against something that can't be changed is a waste of time. Then what are we to do? We do the best we can. We change the things we CAN change, we do the things we KNOW are right... This is a great and deep philosophy, that took me years to fully understand. People may steal my energy, but I will ignore them. Instead of talking, instead of thinking, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to do qigong until they can't anymore, until no one can anymore. I will go into the woods and meditate for hours for months and months. I've decided I'm going to stop talking about the things I want to do or the things I'm going to do. I'm going to stop talking. Stop telling. My actions will speak. Let my actions speak. Let my results speak. A great B movie actor once said "Good, bad, I have the gun". Lol too much coffee <3 Loves.

Hi my name is David. 3 years ago I got so sick I almost died an my life has been living hell since then. Im not here to bring you down, and I know this is going to rub alot of people's fur the wrong way, but this all started with Marijuana smoking. One day I was smoking and this energy popped out of my spleen and worms of fire crawled throughout my body. I almost died. 2 weeks later I tried again thinking the last batch was laced or something, but the same thing happened worse. My vision started to go black and my eyes were yellow. My heart rate I estimated was 200 bpm. (Ive gotten pretty good at estimating my heart-rate with all the experiences I've put it through) The state of mind change it brought on is comparable to taking way too many shrooms. (this was a different strain of the plant, not the same source either) I never got better even when the high stopped. I lost 20 pounds in a matter of a week or two. I almost died and no one would believe or understand what happened. I was betrayed by my family. I was now homeless. And have been for the last 3 years. (still am) I have always been an avid researcher, and quite intelligent to boot. I researched endlessly and for 2 years thought I had some kind of parasite problem. (Strongyloides Hyper-Dissemination) Atheist as I was I did not agree with my parents hypothesis that this was an "energy illness". I discovered Taobums 1 and a half years ago and discovered various free resources to learn energy work. I had such horrible chronic fatigue and depression however that I didn't have the grit to do the exercises. Only for last half year have I been practicing seriously. Now thinking back on it all I am almost convinced this was Kundalini Syndrome. Alot of people are on a site called "Curezone" that describe symptoms similar to mine, including some people who was brought on my marijuana or acid or shrooms or other pyschedelics like DMT or 5-meo-DMT or 2-cb. These people either think they have worms or candida. Today's popular science does not accept the idea of energy or Kundalini. Nor does it accept the idea of Marijuana being harmful. Even after all that's happened to me I still am not bashing the plant Marijuana. All I am saying is the truth. It happened to me and it will happen to others. Maybe only one in a hundred or in a thousand or in ten thousand. But its reality. I dont know whether I'm looking for advice, for opinions, for debates, even for arguments, or just to warn people... but I'm posting this.

Thank you joeblast. That was extremely interesting and wise. Memories coming back to me now of being really high on weed and noticing my liver planning and my gallbladder anxious waiting to make a descion. I thought I was going crazy. Yes the paradox is you need willpower to increase kidney and you need kidney to increase willpower!

Energy vampires suck off of you no matter what. Just buckle in a hope to come out alive. Stick your index finger to your thumb like the yogic mudra that keeps energy from coming out so fast.

Happens to me all the time =( (losing my I-ness)

Very interesting.

Ill second that. Smoking sometimes dramatically increases energy shortly. Sometimes it will decrease right away. But it almost always reduces it long term as the body gets slightly sicker after each cig. Nicotine itself isn't a terrible chemical, its an acetycholine agonist, so protective against brain damage and memory loss and alzheimers, being pro-relaxation(parasympathetic). Its also very immune suppressant but that effect doesn't last very long. Immune suppression goes hand in hand with it being anti-inflammatory so that can be a good thing sometimes. From theory I'd like to say that chemicals that act directly on the CNS can be good or bad but my experience is that they are ususally more bad than good. Thats from (limited?)experience not belief.

@ Northern Avid Judo AntYour kind of right about drugs. I define marijuana as a drug not only because it is not grown without intervention in fact it is grown and engineered to be much more potent, but also because my definition is more of a substance or a substance that contains a substance that acts Directly upon the nervous system. Water sugar air and meat don't directly act upon the nervous system this way, otherwise we'd all be dead. They interact through more indirect and natural ways. My oldest brother is an avid gamer and D&D fan. I am also very into some video games (Starcraft, Diablo) so yeah thats pretty cool. My purpose in life is to do the very best I can and work for the greatest good/happiness of myself and everyone in the universe. My purpose is to lift the most possible people out of suffering and into joy to the highest extent possible. To heal and help. @i amMy most heartfelt thanks =) @Songstan Yeah your right, I've known for a while Marijauan is known to create schizophrenia in individuals. It's also proven to be immune suppressant, hormone suppressant, and anxiety causing. It's also proven to be anti-inflammatory, pain-killing, euphoric and cancer-killing. (By the way anti-inflammatory and immune suppressing are virtually the same thing.) Sorry about your Schizoaffective Disorder hope it gets better. Recently I've had (severe)problems controlling my mind. Your note is interesting. Yes I have entertained that idea I think Gopi Krishna has a similar theory that crazy people might just be Kundalini "victims". Yes they feel like short burning lines of electricity. Thats a good description for one type of them. The more I think the more I realize that all along this WAS K-activity! Yes it went on for days tapering off. Each time I smoked it was worse while I was high and tapering off taking slower until the last time I smoked it took years to taper off and its still happening. When these lines become powerful enough they literally eat your body. I felt them go into my ribcage that's the worst pain I've EVER felt. EVER. My cartilage was eaten and my skeleton and genes are permanently changed. I was walking around like an old man for a little while. Where your mind goes they follow. And when they hit acupressure points the related points activate with pain. They went up into my brain and my vision went black. All the while my heart races and has palps. @HoldorFoldThat sounds really intense, maybe you'll tell me or us a little bit more about that later hm? Sounds really interesting. At one point in my life I realized meditating on void is super-good meditation. Try void meditation then hold a single strong thought or repeated phrase like "I am healthy" or "I am happy" and let the akashic record information flow into you. The universe literally tells you your own personalized Qigong. As far as the strong purpose goes, yeah I've had that for a while, unfortunately it doesn't help me but it does give me hope, I would have killed myself. Let me remind you my case was truly severe I was a hairs-breadth away from death literally. I literally cried because I was going to die that how certain I was. You know when your going to die.. On a happier note, really glad your better now. @digitalyogiRight on. @TrunkGlad to find another SFQ guy on here. Yeah I know all the active exercises and small universe. I unfortunately find the exercises very difficult but I usually persevere recently. Go to albanyqigong website to find all 7 active exercises. Born a healer explains Small Universe in minimal detail. Thanks for letting me know about the TCM idea, I realize there are alot of things out there I'm not aware of and should be. It would be interesting. @Edward MGlad to see theres lots of people who echo my experience. Or maybe not so glad lol. Yeah before I had the crash I used to have alot of unusual psychedelic experiences on weed that weren't always bad. This extremely good feeling in my solar plexus one time. Other people in the car felt it. Honestly what led up to my crash was every time I would get high I would feel so much fear. You know I just realized right now that would lead to extreme kidney blockage leading to my strained heart energy not being able to be healed. Also the feelings of extreme over-excitement and adrenaline stressed my heart as well. I feel like the heart and possibly the spleen have alot to do with this particular illness. The lower spine part sounds like classic K/sexual sublimination. Theres lots of trippy things I simply don't remember any more or have blocked out but the memory thing probably did happen to me. Congratulation on your effort... Dare I ask what happened that resulted in your lifeforce drain? Try having extreme lifeforce drain/sickness and and super strong K rising at the same time? Talk about a recipe for disaster. Its like trying to fly without wings or to swim without water. Its like trying to butter a football-field piece size toast with one drop of butter. Its like trying to light a huge bonfire inside a small outhouse. Thats what happened to me. Good lucks on your regain to health. I would recommend barefoot walking, sunlight, Spring Forest Qigong, and raw(live) vegetarian food with modifications made for your particular types and season. The right kind of colloidal silver is really good too. @Ed MYeah thanks for your concern, hopefully very soon here I will have my own place *crosses fingers*Yeah its true about not noticing information/opprotunities.Today I realized I could have been on GA 200 a month for the last 3 years and it's easy to get anyone can in 2 days apparently. But that would have discouraged me looking for a job lol. Or like Trunk was saying about kind of apprentice TCM doctors at schools doing work for cheap. Ill keep my head high. But sometimes you know it's the obvious things we need to do. Before I look for all this more information maybe I should try to implement the stuff I already know, walk my talk. Practice my preach. Act as well as think. As humans our possibly biggest challenge is not not knowing what to do but ignoring and not doing what we know IS the greatest good/happiness. Imagine if we all truly did our honest best =)I believe any disease can be cured by the right technique so lets all hang in here and live a happy life =)Peace. @JoeblastSorry I cant respond right now I've got a bus to catch to take me to Eden Prairie (SW of Minneapolis MN) to catch Jim Nances Free Qi-Talk at 6:30. @Everyone thank you for your swift and intelligent responses. Much love. Wishing you a magical and blissful day and night.

LOL

Suggestions: Look at this thread http://thetaobums.com/topic/23437-does-ayp-give-bad-kundalini-advice/, put hands and feet in earth or contact with earth as much as possible. This is one of the best ways to ground kundalini. Dont freak out. It'll be okay. Practice a safe Microcosmic Orbit exercise like the Spring Forest Qigong one, to bring the energy down the front channel, it will also open the front channel if its closed so the energy can come down. Drink lots of water. Focus on love.

Yeah I've heard of Gopi Krishna. I should read his book. He meditated of a white lotus on top of his crown I think. Yeah I've definitely heard that saying before, but then again Chunyi Lin says we don't need to learn the techniques in person we can learn from DVD or book, but he designed his techniques to be safe that way.

Haha yeah I guess most people aren't very sensitive to weed. But I know that there are more people than people would like to admit who have disturbing reactions to the drug for whatever reason. I had smoked weed for a year before all this happened and it effected me strongly than others and made me hallucinate like acid or shrooms. I acutally met this homeless guy the other day at the shelter and he said he was schizophrenic it was brought on by drugs like marijuana and others. You could tell by the way he talked. All he talked about was far-out philosophical and physics theories and stuff. Constantly wondering. His theory was that he was pyschically attacked by entities far greater than him, and honestly thats kind of the stuff I went through somewhat. As far as that theory goes, I would say thats kind of the truth, on some level this reality is a hallucination, and there is no such thing as death and this reality is an illusion so technically this is as close as we get to death.

I saw many doctors, all of whom said I was perfectly healthy. I was not perfectly healthy or anywhere close. The only affirmation anyone has ever given me was a week ago I went to see Jim Nance and he said I had serious blockages. Compared to what I was Im like 100x healthier now too... Haha.

If it makes you feel any better I get spontaneous horse stance all the time. Its like the leg chi is waking up. Its seems also to be the beginning of the perfection of the bodies structure, but thats a hard one to explain. If you concentrate hard enough on your body you understand that the perfect leg exericse is horse stance and once thats been exercised sufficently you will be shown the stances for the higher body parts, but I never got that far.

Hey Tibetan_Ice GREAT thread/topic! This advice is very good. I would like to add that hands and feet in the dirt or at least feet is a very effective way of bringing Kundalini back down =)

For people interested in classic Yogic (Patanjali) teachings, not Americanized fake-yoga check these out: http://www.nithyananda.org/nithya-kriyas http://meditationisforyou.org/ I like how the traditional teachings correspond with modern day science of Buteyko method. "The asanas (postures) open up the channels but its the khumbaka (breath retention) that increases the energy and flow"

I agree that the best thing is to try everything out for themselves. I disagree that ketones are the preferred fuel. I think that carbs and sugars are easier to digest so better for us. There's a reason carbohydrates exist. I say eat only as much or a little more than necessary amounts of fat and protein. I've largely been influenced by people like Durianrider and Markus Rothkranz. Durianrider makes a lot of good points. The main thing I'm saying is it's impsossible for sugar to be toxic. Its like oxygen to our body. Yes in concentrated enough quantities in the wrong circumstances even oxygen is bad for the human being and so can sugar, but really I'm just saying it's a pretty ridiculous concept. That's all. Durianrider points out that the people who follow his diet eat 3-4k calories a day mostly sugar and don't gain weight (actually lose). This is mostly raw veganism ovcourse. I feel like this might also be because heavier cooked foods send stagnant energy into the body promoting weight gain energy and also reducing energy levels that would make people want to go out and exercise. Alot of the people promoting paleo/primal diets don't look so good and often contradict themsleves or are hooked on caffeine. Nevertheless yeah I've heard of people losing weight and feeling great on high protein/fat diets. Believe me I used to eat literally 0% carbs in my diet. So yeah I've been there. I don't know what gives with all this. Theres alot of contradiction. I won't really know until I become an energy master and explore the entire subject with concious experience. Every diet claims results, but the best I've seen personally came from very high carb raw vegan type-deals. But I believe in TCM and Ayurveda so you have to put less raw and less vegetables in there. I don't know. I know that I feel better when I eat fresh plants just picked than packaged processed stuff. I'd say eat more local more fresh foods no matter what you eat. I'd say cut down on meat products because of the cruelty in farms.

Proving my point, it doesnt mean fructose is bad, just too much of it at once. Too much of any food at once will cause this to happen. I still think theres another factor.

By the way just so people know, sugar is not bad for you, thats literally like saying oxygen or water is bad for you. The mitochondria in our cells use sugar and oxygen to make ATP our bodies energy molecule. If High Fructose Corn Syrup is bad for you its because some other reason than the pure fructose content. Sugar is easier on the body than protein or fat it simply takes less energy to digest. Could be chemicals added in the process, or chemical structures changed during processing. A meal of steak raises your insulin more than a sugary treat. The sugar-high effect comes from poeples natural vitality nothing bad about it. The bad part will only come because sugary treats tend to have preservatives and food dyes and stuff added. Most of these studies are either pursposely paid of by people promoting anti-carb diets or made by people wanting to believe so badly in a cure for disease they come to fast to conclusions and subconciously skew their own studies. The rest of the studies are accurate but they are identifying the wrong factor- its artifical chemicals not the sugar that is causing the health problems. Sugary treats tend to be packed with these artifical chemicals. Like I said before its impossible that sugar is bad for us, its as important to the body as oxygen or water is. Cells lacking sugar at the mitochondrial level would kill us just as fast as cells lacking oxygen, death within minutes. The only reason one can fast longer than they can hold their breath is because the materials in the body can be turned into sugar but not into oxygen. A good diet but inculde plenty of fruit, grains, and vegetables. A good balance of all things is useful, raw plant food for its nutritional content, and following the principles of Asian(TCM and Ayurveda) food energy medicine. Milk, eggs, cheese, etc and if you aren't vegetarian some meat too. That is the best diet. Possibly 50% carbs 25% fats 25% proteins. Slighly calorie restricted as per what is natural feeling. Stop stuffing ourselves, appreciate the taste of the food, and cook with good energy in our hearts. Bless the food before we eat it. Eat a good balance of raw and cooked, heating and cooling foods.
