Daong

I've been noticing with energy practices that it drains my kidneys and they feel weak and sometimes even hurt. I've been supplementing Punarnarva root powder which works quite well, but I'm wondering if there are other herbs that you guys use that also help with this? Thanks.

I think of ending rebirth like going to heaven and being able to remain there, rather than going there for a moment and having all memories wiped from you and sent back to earth to try again.

It doesn't seem like you addressed the issue, because the evidence that Dagon suggested he has is objective, rather than the subjective evidence you are implying. It is a slanted non-response. If he can control it then you can't write it off as being cold or something else, he said he can prove it, so why did you berate him about something that is irrelevant? He wasn't asking you to prove it, he was asking if someone else can manifest the same phenomena that he does. I don't think that you truly appreciate what he was bringing to the table, and why you want to write it off as something else doesn't make much since, especially if he can show it objectively, which would be providing legitimate evidence for chi. How is that a bad thing? It is rare to tap into this refined qi, but not impossible:

What do you mean by much? Why are you so hard on yourself? You could just take off your clothes if you wanted to be lighter. Or even take a dump, if your mission is to qualify as lighter, lol.

The white dot is the energy required to perceive the void. Without perceiving there would be no experience for you to share would there?

Define enlightenment.

Did you mean immortal fetus? That's what is created with the energy body, but inner fire has to first be discovered within the energy body. http://taoism.about.com/od/practices/a/Kan_Li.htm To create immortal fetus requires the ability to use multiple centers at the same time. And most people never find the fire because it is hidden.

Good posts guys!

What sort of emotional imbalance I wonder?

No one else cares about the Hui Yi and the moonlady?

In the name of law, I don't care about ego's or stepping on toes.

I would just like to say farewell to everyone and thanks for your help and advice. Peace be with you.

Into the autobahn, I orbit around the world, Faster and faster.

Call to peace?

Oh, I won't, I'll delete the quote incase you change your mind about the wording.

Definitely passionate about something you are, but what is unclear.

Hou Yi lived on in despair, the turmoil of days past slowly by and by. Like a dove, Hou Yi love for Chang E was unbreakable. Unbearable misery surrounded Hou Yi and his love of life and legend diminished, for it was weak in comparison to that love he still had for his beloved. So close yet so far away, Chang E remained in Hou Yi's every tear. Tears he cried and wept every night, for the sorrow in loss he could not fight. The will of the warrior could not succumb to the power that love had over him. Hou Yi often dreamt of being reunited with Chang E, and together they were one. In a glade the green blades glimmered with the joyous laughter and humor resonated through the leaves of the trees as the vibrant sky was gifted with vibrant hues as far as the eyes could see. In Hou Yi's dreams he felt alive and free, more alive than he did when he opened his eyes to see the empty and bare lonely room stretching out before him. More often then not he went back to sleep, to be with his one true love in his dreams, milking every precious moment, until he could not sleep due to thirst and hunger, he had to get something to drink and eat. Hou Yi would sleep for days on end, and slowly began to wither away, until one day, he didn't awake and remained in a dream state. Or so it would appear, here he remains for all to peer: Chang E whispered into Hou Yi's ear "Wake up, wake up, I miss you dear, I fear the winters just about here!" Hou Yi awoke when Chang E's tears melted with his into a sphere, the dream that would forever persevere.

Did you feel like the white dot in this?
