  1. Declaring Realisation Prematurely

    How many teachers are there who teach prematureley? How many gives advices here out of this place?
  2. feel like giving up

    It is also good to have dignity when bad things happend
  3. Isn't a good strategy to "not to see" stories of others? To ignore it or better - to not let our attention be drown into "scaning" others? Not that I know answear for that but seems that there is no use in checking stories of others.
  4. Vasectomy

    I'm not a specialist in it but I've heard from 2 different spiritual teachers that balls are needed. One of them said that any manipulation with you genitals causes problems in further developement (I can even find it and quote it for you). Other one said something simmilar - that you can't reach the highest states when being castrated but since I know vasectomia is not equal as castration.
  5. The feeling of being in Church

    Sweet . What you've desribed is traditionaly called Shakti. Shakti loves nature and spirituall places but sometimes she can come to your work too and makes you embarrassed hehe
  6. The feeling of being in Church

    Perhaps at the beginning some feels it only with teachers and in special places. Then it expands and takes you over What do you mean by "feeling of church?" exactly? Vibratory, electrical current in the body? I don't know if he or she is stuck. I've been once to a talk of a spiritual teacher. A person told him that "he does not feel shakti everyday". The teacher replied - "if you felt it once then it is working within you weather you feel it everyday or no". Shakti means this current of energy within the body. My greatest amasement is to know that some people are born like that and they don't even know what is it like to not to feel "church feeling" . Nice ha?
  7. The feeling of being in Church

    That's twisting the meaning of holy vibrations through the language. Maybe it sounds funny for some - I don't know. Is it apropriate to say that this person needs it? Or maybe is it choiceless... Like attracts like. When you are sensitive to spiritual current then you can't help but to go where it is present. Forest, church, darshan, retreat. Call it as you want. Some ofcours find entertiment in it so they need it in order to have fun
  8. The feeling of being in Church

    I love to go to a church but I'm not a christian. Sometimes these are the only places in the city that are... quiet. Some of them are also spiritually charged. I was also thinking once that maybe cause of prayers - but why to know the reason... Thats just speculation There is a church next to where I live where people regullary have visions and some other spiritual experiences (after which they often end up in a psychiatric hospital). Maybe I'm wrong but it does not appear that we can find this feeling and stay there- what if it is the other way around?
  9. Internal scent

    It is a beautifull experience. They call it sometimes divine scents. You're lucky to experience it.
  10. Going to China to learn inner alchemy

    "Since I like to do things independently, I've never sought a teacher (at least not successfully)." Maybe lack of teacher causes lack of experiences? It is rare to achieve anything withouth a teacher. But people tend to believe in DIY and so they practice enormous amount of time for nothing - it is very ironic. There are good teachers in States (or wherever you are from) and first of all they operate in your inborn coulture which is also important. Don't you think that your idea is a bit crazy and romantic? I'd check first what is there in the US or at least I would ask for an advise a realised teacher instead of random people on the internet. But offcourse you will do as you want.
  11. You talk about ancestors or dead teachers - "it's easy to have a dead teacher". What I mentioned in my comments is NOWADAYS alive tradition - . How much of this heart is there? Zen monks gently touching themselves with a stick, not to injure anyone. Convincing that one should meditate with open eyes only. But who knows what happends in some old temples behind the closed doors?
  12. heart energy bliss

    I'm not a specialist in it but I just feel that this sort of experiences would be supercharged in presence of a realised master. Weather qui gong one or other, out of any system.
  13. Adi Da was also controversial teacher. You can find plenty of scum on-line. Yet he was a very powerfull guru. Ramana Maharishi was also an owner of his own ashram. People were working for Muktananda and Krishnamurri as well as for Maherishi Maheshi Yogi. For free... When people see that a teacher earns money or leads organisation there would be always controversions and scum. There is a simple human impression that if someone has money then he is sureley something wrong about him/her. Spiritual teachers should live in poverty.... The proof is only in the eating. Opinions are useless. You never understand what seva is unless you participate. For sceptics, followers of a guru will alway appear crazy or brainwashed.
  14. Practicing in Lucid Dreaming

    When it happends spontaneously then great. There is a reason for that. Many things happned in sleep that we don't even remember. But to force it? For what reason? Maybe I don't understand it fully.
  15. Probably all of us at some point have surfacing pattern which cause us to think - I am messiah, now I will share the truth. So we share, secretly thinking that we know cause we saw. Urge to talk is also something that will dissolve. I keep comming back to this statement. David Spero said it somewhere. Ramana said also that even if you know the self, then it takes at least 3 years up to 12 years to integrate this experience and to get mature. In my opinion it is good to have someone to talk to about these things. These things are so amasing that sometimes you just can't help and spill it all over the place (perhaps sensing that maybe it isn't the best idea to do so). That's why I believe that being in a sangha is a good thing - having people that understand you or at least will listen when you have sth to say, and be silent when it is required.
  16. heart energy bliss

    If happends on its own then no problem - thats what a teacher would probably tell you. Don't need to focus on it. I'd say that focussing on it can give a fake impression that you can manipulate these things at your will. Other thing - we experience only as much as we can handle. Thats what I heard from my teacher. Therefore overwhelming experiences are not to run from or trying to break them. Yet fear can come and thinking that one need to do sth about it. Gifts are to enjoy.... Do you have any teacher that showed you quigong?
  17. Practicing in Lucid Dreaming

    I believe in what Anadi has said about lucid dreams - waste of time. Sleep is for sleeping. http://anaditeaching.com/samadhi-in-sleep-the-art-of-falling-asleep-consciously/
  18. Stainless steel

    Does anyone know how this material affects the body? I'm wearing a watch made of it (with battery) since short and am curious how this material works with the body. If you want to add some jerky comment then please don't.
  19. Stainless steel

    I was thinking that maybe to buy a watch with automatic or mechanical mechanism would solve the problem since I need a watch for my work. But you say all of them generate a not nice energy field?
  20. Stainless steel

    Funny thing - I feel some strange sensations about this watch and I don't know what is it - I thought at first that it is the steel or the battery - thats why I asked this question here.
  21. Meditation happends on its own withouth any "way of doing it".
  22. I've checked represantive places of both rinzai and soto. I'd say that soto places is more conductive. Tradition studied out of books is kind of dry, many things you won't find in books but these things are essential - transmission for example. I don't know what doo you mean by tradition - the written one or this that is passed through a teacher. Even zen master Huang Po said that studying withouth a transcendental master is a waste of time. I have spent some time in a rinzai temple lead by so called leading teacher of 2 countries and basically I've ben thrown out of there by him cause I had some experiences... that then 2 independant teachers confirmed as valid and essential. That's why I say that this tradition is destroyed and calcified nowadays even if I feel deeply connected to this tradition. Basically these zen enviroment's are comfusing for seekers. I have also seen some criticism abot zen from a teacher named Anadi. That in generral it promotes only one aspect of so called realisation which is void neglecting the rest. "For example they ask people to meditate only with open eyes which reinforces the being part of realisation". What about devotion? What about shakti? In most zen places when you will say kundalini there would be uncomfortable silence in responce or some brainwashing bullshit. Even famous Adyashanti said somewhere that he missed the heart while practicing zen
  23. I just said it due to my experience in european temples. In general tradition is sureley rich... In coulture where it has developed. Yet I'd doubt in nowadays effects of this tradition the way it is implemented in Europe and US according to what I saw and comparing to "nontraditional" eastern teachers. I'd also say that most students of zen where I've been did not understand why and what they were studying in these temples, centers... Calcified...
