  1. why people are so obsessed with energy and protection and the "dangers". if you allow everything to be as is, nothing can actually affect you. Just a different realm with the same lesson, no need to panic
  2. Many times, I've been told when thoughts that makes me feel sad or have a an emotion that is not desirable and such that i should be in the now and not dwell on the past or what is going to happen. It is true that not thinking or just thinking about what is in the now.. makes me feel better and relax and such... but i see it as a kind of escapism of the thoughts that makes me feel sad...it is like not dealing with them and with what they are trying to point to.. and running into the now where they don't exist. No matter how a person stays in the now and train his mind to be in the present moment, there are triggers that is going to appear in the now that will awaken back the thoughts he tried to escape from by altering his focusing in the now. these thoughts will always stay there waiting for you to get triggered or lose your focus back into them to. these thoughts are there for a reason, and demand your attention to be healed and transformed. they are the result of the past and exist in the now, but need to be triggered and if not healed, they will be in your future. what do you think, is it an escapism? and how to actually deal with these thoughts without escaping them? Thank you

  3. The Now as a spiritual escapism.

    what about people who can connect over distance, or those who can heal ? ...etc ?

  4. The Now as a spiritual escapism.

    Yes, I do understand that, our past, the environment we live in from people, society, media they all affect how we see the world, it sets a filter through which see the world and experience it and dictate our perspective of life. But mainly what i said, is focused on determining whether the spirit/soul exist and is not the mind... even tho the buddha experienced such things i spoke about earlier, also other experienced the same thing in different culture and didn't know about the buddha and what he experienced, they weren't influenced by him to have similar experience. In other words, there are a place or something that introspection reveals it, after practicing and training your mind.

  5. The Now as a spiritual escapism.

    Shad282 replied to Shad282's topic in General Discussion

    Well... Even tho it is far from the main subject. i would like to point.. that i have been practicing introspection for a long time. The buddha spoke about introspection and taught it all his life, by observing the breath and then going into the body and making some unconscious activities of the mind conscious and thus creating a door into the subconscious mind to heal the pains and emotions in stuck there. but later on in his life, after developing his introspection a lot, he went out of body and met deities/angels, and seen his other life and etc of such things described by him and by his followers..(knowing same happened with others introspection practitioners) and these actually provide a little confirmation about the existence of the soul/spirit that is manifested like a physical form we see, unless u consider them hallucinations or you another explanation, mind powers maybe ?

  6. The Now as a spiritual escapism.

    Shad282 replied to Shad282's topic in General Discussion

    I Loved your replies... they gave me a new perspective to look through but to be honest.. they both started very well.. they complete each others in the first paragraphes... i guess it is a matter of being in the now in order to have the right state of mind to solve these problem, out of having a quiet and aware mind to be able to find the solution. But in the last paragraphs of your replies.. things got weird and complicated. one describing a finite energy, distributing the energy, spiritual materialism ? and the other with building a stronger ego?? Thank you for your replies

  7. The Now as a spiritual escapism.

    but it is that process between the problems arising and reaching back to the quiet mind. if you get stuck in that process, it might take days, months and sometimes years to find a solution and reach back to the quiet mind.
  8. what comes first, the thought or the emotion? because giving you a thought that reminds you of a situation would lead you to have emotion.... a thought can make you sad, another laugh and happy... I can't give you an emotions.. it is a result of your thoughts and minds process. I have experienced stillness and a state of no thoughts.. and that made me sense the impact of a thought and how it can agitate my emotional state and how different thoughts swipe me from one emotion to another. Also, I read somewhere that... lower dantian (lower chakras) creates emotions... the upper dantian (throat, 3rd eye and crow) creates thoughts... and they both meet at the heart (middle dantian) that would result in manifestation. (intent+visualization). in other words, the talent mainly is in the mind because if we manage the mind and thoughts with stillness, then we are able to direct our emotions and thus alter our reality. What do you think?
  9. I was wondering how do u differentiate between intention, visualization and imagination when u are sending healing or trying to communicate energetically. As i have been noticing some people use intention to connect or heal the person over distance without actually having a thought or an image of the person and seems to be related to introspection but going outside, it is like sensational maybe. some people may use some kind of an image of body healing it or visualize energy with certain color going inside. And others imagine a whole scenario of an environment, the person they are trying to connect to him and what is happening with them and maybe where they live and the room they are in. what about you? how do u differentiate between them or maybe you consider them the same? and what is more effective (in terms of healing or connecting...) based on your own experience? Thanks.
  10. So, you are a superhero ! nice!
  11. so are you saying that, visualization is more of reception tool, to pick up energies and intention is a creation tool ?
  12. Thank you for your post, very informative. concerning the insight thing, of receiving a fully formed image popping into the awareness... how do you know if this image wasn't the result of deep mind subconscious beliefs coming into ur consciousness and is coming from higher dimensional place? no matter how far we can deepen our sensitivity of thoughts and unconscious activities, we cannot reach the stage of 100% control of the subconscious mind and its auto activities. Also, the healing perspective of images that come to the healer in terms of receiving a version of reality as a thought and the healer chooses with intent... does that mean that the healer doesn't actually heals, but he moves into the reality where the person is healed but the actual person being healed is still unhealed but in different reality? and so the healer is just switching realities? and also are you saying that, healing is done by increasing your own vibration and so the person nearby will get healed due to the increased frequency/vibration u are emitting ? then, what about over distance healing, if the person is not near, isn't it about moving the intention toward that person?
  13. but there are different way the intention is used.. and for me i guess there are 2 kinds of intentions.. one that is developed inside of the body, "introspection", which is like being in an organ or skin.. like vipassana meditation and it is called being aware of your body and each part of it. and an outer-intention which is used for connection and more of what is called psychic. And similar to the one that is internal, where thoughts and images comes to hinder your focus and take you on dwelling thoughts, i guess it is similar with the outer intention where images come or visualization starts that will hinder your connection. Like you try to connect with a person but you end up connecting to its image or thought you have of that person and not actually connecting with him on a real level. as the inner intention requires training of the mind through meditation such vipassana (as i only know about and tried) the outer also requires training in order to be able to notice the difference between what is real and what is created by the mind. Also concerning the visualization, i was thinking that there is kinds of visualization one used to create something with the intent and one is more of a complete image that just appears as a whole without actually creating it. intent can be modeled in a way to serve the purpose of using the tool of visualization.

  14. How to trust the universe?

    Quantum physics is all about how we affect world, DNA, atoms by thinking and observing and many examples on how the water shape changes with thoughts changing. Many experiments out there and artists using it. and since most of the things in the world are made out of water, then u can affect them by thinking. also a movie i watched yesterday called: I AM (2010) documentary, he does an experiment at a science institute how his emotions and thoughts affects yogurt charges. that is one example of many, that is old, done by so many on youtube as an experiment, that is the link to the official experiment: Masaru Emoto's Rice Experiment

  15. How to trust the universe?

    Shad282 replied to Shad282's topic in General Discussion

    It is not egoic to think that we make our own reality because it is true. the fact that colors are just frequency and they just not exist the way we see them, other characteristic are not just what they seem. everything is a matter of vibration but we are limited to our senses and thus limiting the reality to what we think it is. the way we see the world is subjective and that is why each person has his own opinion and interpret things differently due to his past experience and knowledge. altering those factors would change who you are and how you see the world and that is how we make our own reality. also, our body emit frequencies, at the end we are made of frequency, so we affect what is, and since we have the freewill and the most advance tool on earth, The Mind, it can alter this frequency of ur own organs/body and thus affect its surrounding. Humans have long affect the external reality through the external reality, by combining, developing, such as new tech and new way of living. but they never used any frequency tools to do that.. except in medicine in some cases radiology.

  16. How to trust the universe?

    Shad282 replied to Shad282's topic in General Discussion

    It is a question of self trust... but still hard for me to be vulnerable because i have seen what happened to others and how sometimes stuff are rough. and i might taken with the flow to places that aren't that much nice.
  17. Hey why did you choose this path of spirituality, chi, meditation, qigong... (knowing that there are different paths inside of it). - are you trying to have an identity, sort of religion belonging, escapism of reality,, trying to gain superpowers/telekinesis, reach that superstate of nirvana or enlightenment? - what is your goal and what are you trying to achieve out of practicing and having such beliefs. Thanks
  18. yes, everything evolves with time and everything apply to its Now. living by the dogmatism and rigidity of old paths that were in tune with their environment and time, Nows, is quiet not logic. Causing a lot of people change their Now, what is, to go isolate themselves, neglect all technologies and development and live in a traditional "Now" environment, the era of their beliefs and not actually use the knowledge and apply to our Now, of technology, social media. The New age is trying to create, harmony, application of the knowledge in the Now we are in.
  19. I was wondering if spirituality is a talent of the mind? since people who are talented in cooking have this talent through their mouth... musicians through ears... perfume makers through nose.... artists through eyes.... singers ears and throat...
  20. HAAHAHAHA... well i guess i can do that ahahahaha u helped me discover my talent ! oh wow .... that is something new... can it be presented at Britain got talent ? depends on ur country .. LOL you can mastubate in front of the judges or wish them to have a good day ... LOL but to be fair that is a nice observation and noticing the correlation between your masturbation and income .. i did notice some kind of changes before and after stopping jerking off ... but it was more related to being more energetic and optimistic and so my days change.. but could it be related more to the reason that makes you want to masturbate... maybe u masturbate because u feel lonely or sad or poor or whatever negative thoughts about you or your life ... and mastubation became as an escape of those thoughts .. because getting hard is 85% due to a thought in your mind that is sexy, or due to many stressful thoughts, so if you masturbate.. these thoughts stop due to dopamine secretion and your body relaxes... and then this repeated behavior would lead to an cause and effect relationship. so your brain will start producing these negative thoughts in order to receive that orgasm and release. so the wired relationship in your mind becomes: more negative thoughts more orgasm which is positive feeling. and when you stopped mastubating/ changed your behavior, you broke this relationship. I m not saying mastubation is good, But you should consider later on, when you fall in love, i m not sure if it is pleasant or enough to just keep it emotional, without having physical love making. unless you are planning on shielding your heart. I m not sure if it is the problem with the tool (mastubation) or the way (mindset) you use it.
  21. Seems like people here don't have any talent ??

  22. Avoidance or Cultivation?

    Shad282 replied to Orion's topic in General Discussion

    Observe your thoughts. observing your thoughts would allow you to discover what your mind is trying to telling and to discover the illusion that some thoughts are creating and draining your energy and decreasing your focus. At the end, no matter what choice you will make, or action you will do... you will encounter the same energy and the same lesson but in a different form. A lot of people think that choosing between 2 options will eventually lead to different changes in life.. but actually they are the same energetically but different in forms. so no matter you do, u are always on the right track but it looks different. I hope my answer helps.
  23. Don't bother yourself or waste your time on this. Allow them to be as they are and one day they will understand what you mean, at the right time, right situation. <3
  24. I know about your belief... and the vehicles, samadhi and the whole package and been practicing for a long time. but just because you believe in samadhi and steps and vehicles and the only 3 paths of enlightenment doesn't mean it is the truth for everyone.. if you deeply understand the real teaching behind what you are talking about.. you would understand that these beliefs of cultivation and practices are just true in your own reality because these beliefs are there to help you see the illusions of the mind and reality and not add a new illusion (the only path/truth) that later on will end up to be your new mind prison. the buddha, Lao tzu, said many times.. it is not the only path, it is one out of many and you make your own reality by altering your beliefs. If you read more about the buddha and lao tzu life.. you would realize that they never said in order to get enlightened you should only do this and that or else you would never get enlightened (only some followers said that). enlightenment is not the monopoly to only one path, Dogmatic thinking is.
  25. There are countless of paths and each have its own practices to lead to the same thing. your senses are the door to countless of paths to reach the main goal: Happiness. that is what people are and were looking for, for many years (misery, suffering..). Many paths were walked to reach it, and many practices were created to serve you on the path you chose. a Musician could reach happiness/Nirvana through the music ears, a chef while making delicious plates out of love and passion (nose, tongue), a monk out of compassion and love through the mind/thoughts.. and others through multiple combinations of sensations as saying through multiple doors to life. Do you think that taoism, buddhism or spirituality is the only path?
