It was my porn/masturbation/sex addiction that led me to the spiritual path. One day I just snapped out of it, and saw myself doing these things from an outside perspective. I felt pretty pathetic that these feelings were controlling me so. I would analyse the thoughts behind my actions, and they were mostly rooted in control/domination /to punish and be needed. What's more, the women I was sleeping with were also seeking to be on the receiving end of such. I suppose this is quite common today, and perhaps could be argued as natural in a sense, but I decided that there was a major thing missing, LOVE. While my sexual encounters were always playful, respectful, passionate....I hadn't truly made love. Instead of playing roles of power and submission, I wanted to experience something purer. That meant masturbation and porn had to go, because love didn't stand a chance mixed in with those thoughts.

We bear this inner resent of nature, as she wants to reclaim us (which is also rooted in the many cataclysms we've suffered). The mother that gives us life is the same as that calling us back to her arms, the void. Then, there is the energy that carries us forward in this world, keeping us alive. It is that energy and our fear of death that drives us to separate from nature. We endeavour to travel to other planets in a bid to escape. We invent technology to replace and improve on natural design. It's all out of fear of non-existence. We've lost our faith in and understanding of the natural cycle. That said, I'm not fully against technology, as long as there is a balance between it and nature. -
My first reaction was that it's either fear mongering propaganda, or the experience of a coward draped in digital ego. I prefer CT's answer, though.

That's a lot more respectful and mature than my first reaction.

"Winter" Solstice in South China, but I'm sitting on the balcony as the clock hits midnight, enjoying temperatures in the mid 20s. The mosquitos seem to be just as thrilled to still be alive.

Do you understand how they determine this acceleration? They are not simply seeing galaxies whizzing away at a faster rates than each other. It's all based on the measuring of redshift, and the assumption of dark energy/matter. Most likely another illusion of the human reality. The clustering, or rather bridging of galaxies, goes against the redshift theory, as it has been observed that 2 bridged galaxies can produce different redshift results. Under the redshift theory, you'd assume they are far away from each other, yet such galaxies are physically bridged with matter, and thus are very close (from a galactic perspective). It's best we never assume or base our theories on the back of other unproven theories, especially when the evidence for them is minor/has flaws. When man talks of the universe, we are stabbing in the dark, literally.

Evidence of continuous universal expansion is very limited.

It's not necessarily porn, it's the internet and our spoiled/saturated culture in general.

What would your perfect life be like?
Silent Answers replied to thelerner's topic in General Discussion
I'd like a sense of physical purpose, rather than having to live mostly in my mind. I'd either like to make something with my hands, or possibly even revert back to a more animalistic existence. -
Leave something important behind, if you can, so that those who come after may learn from your experience.

This is exactly what I was getting at, dear Taomeow. We are both master and slave, positioned right between our duty to serve this bodily universe that gives us divinity, and in turn a willing slave to the processes outside ourself that require our devotion and understanding. We should be as willing as the matter that performs so dutifully within our own universes. The pyramid symbology was never meant to be about dominance and control of power, but instead a massive reminder of our responsibility. However, the way we see it, is the way we collectively feel. Our society has become obsessed with selfish indulgence. Everyone trying to be unique and stand out for "flashing cameras". Many of us know not our duties or "where to go". We have become disconnected from the whole, like cancerous cells growing to their own purpose; and we see cancer increase within ourselves the further away we pull. We all feel that conflict within of who we are, and the hint of purpose long lost still lingers...but we're committed to this path for a while longer. Committed to the asylum for the mentally ill. Sure, this is by design, and perhaps there is a set of elites who have understood this power, twisting it to their own agenda. However, they too are a reflection of our collective mind. We look to space and dream of the final escape, away from our mother's call. The sMother who loves us so and beckons us home, but many are unwilling to resign from this life. Mother wants nothing more than for us to be happy, yet her love brings death to all, and this is what drives us. Fear of death and non-existence. We have forgotten death's crucial role. To reach the state that you describe, Tm, means for us to give up on our search for power; and to abandon the idea of individuality as we see it today. The ideal balance must be known..the middle path..and it must be applied to all areas, as they connect like light in a hall of mirrors. Live to serve and to know the Mother, embrace her deathly hug as she welcomes us home to rest.

Here we sit in the president's chair, and how many of us have acted responsibly with our power? Are we righteous in serving that which holds us up? The eyes of Ra and Horus, are synonymous with the glimmering capstone of the pyramid. They represent the Self and its godly position. Do we become indulged in Self interest, paving the way for shadowy secrets and a sinister take on the intelligence beyond; or do we loyally serve the masses knowing our duty as both master and slave. Notice how it's addressed to You?

Why do you think the breath is so focused upon? The in and out breath are the clinging to life and physical, and the return to death/rest. This is the essential yin yang cycle that we can consciously be aware of in our everyday lives.

Almost identical to the Egyptian depiction of the same concept, yet surprisingly more detailed.

Has anyone here achieved super consciousness?
Silent Answers replied to Drifting_Through_Infinity's topic in General Discussion
I don't think we'll ever be entirely free of the waxing and waning process. That's what keeps it interesting, I guess. Know that it's a stage you'll meet and conquer again, and again. Hopefully, each time a little wiser than the last. Life is a constant test, and if the tests cease, You have likely found death. Scientifically, a vast amount of energy is being streamed into our planet from the sun, and thus into us. The cycles of our planetary magnetic field also have an effect on our awareness/behaviour, both directly and indirectly (indirectly in the form if cosmic rays - as recently published by NASA). Considering that we are part of the universe's cyclical events, it stands to reason that they will occur within us at least on a physical level, affecting our mental state; but perhaps also on a more mysterious (less clearly understood) level involving electric/magnetic field interactions. That said, the stronger minded among us will hopefully master the waves, learning to charter their ups and downs like birds and fish using convection to their advantage instead of being tossed around by it. -

Kind of seems like a big misunderstanding to me, as an outsider. Here it is in Karl terms: By signal noise, I'm assuming JB means a clean mind, free of experience and social programming? The state of consciousness/mental activity before becoming polluted with unnecessary association...and that freeing one's self of the wasteful distractions allows for a much smoother and unhindered operation. One can imagine that it requires quite a lot of dedicated processing power to keep those bad habits alive, energy and focus that could be put to better use. -

Silent Answers replied to Drifting_Through_Infinity's topic in General Discussion
This would be the overly wordy equivalent of what I was going for, yes. But, as I said in the edit, your next post pretty much adressed the same line of thought. I define consciousness as a state of awareness and not a thing to tap into. The more we understand the processes behind our thoughts, their triggers and patterns; the more focused our state of mind and existence can be. Now, you probably won't agree with this next part. Although it may not seem to be the type of "super conscious connection" the OP had in mind, as we develop our awareness of awareness through stillness/gentleness, there's a mirroring effect that grows the conscious experience. This would be my interpretation of what the OP is looking for. You are most right in saying that I'm still sketching things out, I hope I don't come across as somebody that has all the answers. Maybe I need a name change? Still, I do base most of my understanding on actual experience, albeit a work in progress. -

But, it can be trained to be more precise, and aware of its own flaws/bad programming. To rid one's self of the useless conditions and sharpen the right tools would put one in a superior position of awareness. EDIT: I see you already adressed that above. Perhaps I should have continued reading down the first page -
"Electric" Chi, What it is, How-to techniques
Silent Answers replied to SonOfTheGods's topic in General Discussion
It is my belief that there is ONLY electricity, but perhaps in several varieties. It is the raw energy of Everything entering into this dimension and seeks the fastest route back out. Paths for this force can be etched in naturally over time or artificially created through this process' resulting intelligence. Magnetism is the vortex system created by the motion of electricity; and the lining up of spin is more of a locked-in side effect, due to the electricity pulsing through. That said, magnetism goes hand in hand with electricty. It's a buy one get one free sort of a deal. The Yin within Yang and its opposite in this sense represent poles, along which electricity pulses from one side to the other, causing the hyperbaloid 3D torus structural vortex. Flattened into a 2D image, you have the common Yin Yang symbol. With this at the foundations of everything in our reality, we see these patterns arise again and again. Therefore, the Yin Yang symbol can relate to pretty much any goings on within reality and is not limited to my interpretation of it here. We are electrical beings. The force pulses through us on a very subtle level, but still manages to give rise to every process in our bodies; sometimes directly and sometimes through cause and effect relationships. It stands to reason that a person who has aligned themselves in a certain way, may create a smoother path for this energy to flow through.- 12 replies

I'm pretty sure it would blow your mind and be totally worth shitting your pants for. Still, I'd prefer to smoke it in it's crystallized form to save for all the sweating and vomiting that goes with that jungle juice.

I'd consider myself blessed.

It'll likely take an all out (nuclear) war to achieve both of those things. The finger is already down on the reset button, the question is: how long can we hold it down before releasing?
