  1. Nice, Loved your story. well for me.. i was around 9 yo when a friend of mine, drew the Ohm 3~. sign on sand.. telling me about what his sister is doing and practicing and such... i was astonished by it.. and i stayed in my mind all the time.. i used to like magic and powers and such and it felt like an access to something greater something wow to me.... with time, such teachings came irregularily into my life and started with discovering chi through psi ball (magic) hahaha.. lead me to feel the chi and the magnetic field... later on through the internet i learned qigong and mindfulness and etc... part of it, feels i was directed into that direction and other part is my choice to harness what i've been prepared to.... but i have no goal for it.. i mean i try to help people and such but it is not serving me in my own life as a purpose or something big.

    Thank you Mr. Penguin!
  4. neither can see them or grasp them? i mean, all religions, practices and beliefs are accessible and available all over the internet and it is not that hard to encounter any of these and find explanation. lots of practices from meditation and qigong are available on youtube and anyone can learn it. it doesn't have to be predestined. you had a choice at some point in your life and you did take that road by ur own choice.
  5. did you investigate what made you really miserable in the past and healed it? or you just changed your beliefs and adopted new practices ?
  6. and without them? it feels not good?
  7. what do you mean?
  8. hahahahahahaha.. really.. everytime i see something or someone doing something i ll be like.. ohhhh maybe it is 3rd eye power or energy altering frequency or or or .... and end up with a person using some kind of techs and tricks. nowadays.. i ll only believe if i can do it
  9. Well i m not sure... but most of the time when someone shows an ability, filmed or not... at the end it ends up as a trick or scam or something like that to make money or be famous...

    after meditating, healing, doing qigong and etc of other practices... what is next? after reaching that state of presence, stillness, mindfulness, awareness, observing the body, thoughts,.. what is next after all that? how to measure the progress? and what are the levels or stages how to know where are you at? what is the goal you are working toward?

    it is not a philosophical.. it is more like after reaching a state of consciousness... the way u see life and live it, it becomes different, u will be against of what the society is and then u will be moving in a direction and the society is moving in another in its values, thoughts, beliefs and such. so my question is more what to do with such state... it is like me being alone in such beliefs and practices and perspective of life.

    I have tried to help others when they needed it and tried my best to give some of my advices or experiences.. but it wasn't that much beneficial, people only wanted to nag about their problems and issues all the time and never cared to listen. and if they do listen, they start arguing and try to put u down with ur own beliefs and practices and judge u as living in an illusion and that u need help . So in the subject of helping people.. i made my decision that i would let people suffer their own problems and issues.. it is their path and that is the only way for them to learn. i ll just give my advice and leave them to suffer until they come for help. can you give example of enlightened qualities? ... my practices of life are passive and acceptance and allowing things to be and less of demanding and wanting in order to attract stuff that i wish for or think that are enlightened... ido notice synchronicity with my life and other people's life...but i don't have that motivation or desire to something that will allow for me to test the time and quality of my attraction to something i want... if u know what i mean.... Meditation and observing myself and thoughts and live in mindfulness.. has been my practices in life... i do practice at home but also in my daily activities.. i do practice in life and activities, and did struggle a bit just practicing at home with sitting and such. spirituality (meditation) is a big part of my life not just a practice but values i live by. but maybe i need some kind of a goal, to have a motivation to use that state of mind ?
  17. it is been a time since i awakened out of conditioned mind and noticed the reality and what the mind making me see and what the reality actually is. but whenever i increase my awareness, focus and mindfulness... a trigger reappears and drag me down to the conditioned mind and the misery airse back but in a deep sad way. recently, i m noticing the moment before falling into the mind and become a follower and loosing my awareness of the now and the present moment and dwell in mind and stories... i feel myself standing on the edge between 2 perspectives... perceptive of everything great and wow vibrant and such and another "social" perspective of sadness of seeing what really is and how the world is in a sad way. lets call one the social perspective and the higher perspective.... the social perspective attract me into it.. by saying lets be real.. society is like that and they see you this way.. and u are this and that ... and what u believe in is bullshit ... etc .etc. This social perspective was raised by society and people, values and such.. and they lead to beliefs in me about myself and about life that serve no purpose and actually hinder and make me struggle in my life. the higher perspective gets me into it ... when i focus and allow the "social" perspective to be.. it is great and vibrant the life become, but it never lasts ... i m always switching in and out of them. There is like an inner conflict between me awakening and trying to manage my life and myself in beliefs that serves my improvement and the other thoughts and beliefs that are conditioned by society and people, culture... the question is how to Merge them ? or how to break free of those social/cultural beliefs implemented in my subconscious ? Thank you!
  18. oh i see... yeah i feel that there is a split between the identity that has the beliefs and illusions set by the society and my awakening state of realising that these are illusions and noticing mind patterns in me and others.... I m trying to find a way to move into that awareness perspective all the time and be there maybe by merging the other or by finding a way so i won't get triggered into the state of illusions and not beneficial beliefs to my journey. I can feel that conflict inside of me between these 2 views... each one of them accuse the other for being not realistic and illusory.. hehehe. but i deeply know the truth.
  19. hey, I have been noticing a lot of people i know who have done healings through different meditations or practices always had the issues come back when they are down or something. It is like the pain from the past is still there but when u do healing you become more optimistic and present and in the moment and so u are less likely to feel or worry about that issue. After time, this pain gets triggered and u are back into the same situation of feeling the same pain of the same issue coming back. I had this problem.. even tho i know the issue, what happened and reasons and everything. when i m not in total focus and present and mindful.. this issue can be triggered back. for example: if it is a pain related to confidence.. if i focus on it and heal it (myself or an important healer), it makes me feel more confident. but later on few months later it get triggered back. healing and inner work seems like a pill to not feel the emotional pain and be happy but when this is gone all the pain is back. it is something noticeable among different people that participate in different practices meditations or qigongs and even with known important healers in their domains. My question would be, how the problem/pain/issue or could be a craving, can be radically removed.. i know the memory of the past is still there, but the trigger of emotional string to stop and see it as it is ? Thank you!
  20. Hey, I was lately investigating the existence of other dimensions and such and how much true they are. I have never experienced any dimensional or anything similar, just the now and being mindful of the now. and I find that traveling through dimension and such, seems to contradict with being in the now, mindful and aware of the reality as it is. The state of awareness and mindfulness means that the mind is still and with no thoughts, no visualization and no imagination and just with the reality as it is and what exist in the now. on the other hand, the buddha, who is the teacher of mindfulness and concentration of the mind, went through different dimensions and saw his past lives and such, but how far are these stuff real? Couldn't it just be the mind trying to induce thoughts but this time on another level of mind, that are too real to make you dwell and forget about being mindful and focused in the now? Seems like an escapism tool that the mind is using but this time based on your beliefs, images, and holographic representation. if not, then what is the link between between mindfulness, awareness and such with dimensions, astral, light work? maybe the dimensions are just sub-nows of the now? Thanks

  21. The Now and the Sub-nows ?

    Shad282 replied to Shad282's topic in General Discussion

    are these vibrations u feel.. come like shudders running inside your body and moving around ? like dancing energy inside ?

  22. The Now and the Sub-nows ?

    Shad282 replied to Shad282's topic in General Discussion

    I guess you are using the wrong word... trance... that is why there is a misunderstanding... i guess what u mean is a mindful and still state of mind that you reach through thoughts and mind observation and lead to clarity in ur senses giving you such abilities. If you can tell me more about your path... how you started observing the mind, techniques and books that helped you? and when and how the clarity of seeing and hearing started?

  23. The Now and the Sub-nows ?

    Shad282 replied to Shad282's topic in General Discussion

    hey why to go in trance? isn't that some kind of escapism from the now? to go into another state of mind? The mind can induce a lot of things that could sound totally real... a simple example can be a dream and lucid dreams. And trance happens in consciousness while being awake and could feel totally real while it is just mind on another state of thoughts and experience. Thank you for sharing your experiences !! <3
  24. hey ! hope you are having a nice day! As me being spiritual and believing in energy chi, meditating, and all the package that come with it, about life perspective and such, kinda causing me troubles in dating and finding a life partner. The thing is where i live, it is less likely to find spiritual people that have such beliefs as me. Many times while chatting or having a conversation with someone... once i open up about my beliefs and practices, that person either freaks out or start arguing and such about it and trying to prove things scientifically. It is happening a lot, even tho. we had a good conversation and interests in each others, when this subject arises, kinda makes the connection and interest decrease. and to be honest, i don't think i can be with someone who is going to fill me with doubts about my beliefs and experience with energy or with someone that makes me feel weird about what i do or at least not understand what i have interest in. I m not sure if i m asking a lot, or i maybe i should limit my search to people who are spiritual only you ever had this issue ? if you have a partner, is he/she spiritual too?

  25. spiritual vs non-spiritual partner?

    Shad282 replied to Shad282's topic in General Discussion

    i m not looking for someone who is religious or such.. just a spiritual understanding, who are able to accept and understand me and have a deep connection which is kind of spiritual to me. Plus, she probably didn't find a partner and spent her life lonely, because she kept thinking of that man, and feeling bad and never was able to get over it and so she was not able to see and connect with new men. and not because she refused a person, which is wrong anyways. Thanks.
