  4. Hi Newbie- you may even find out that you are not even interested in qigong. or maybe you are- Not ever saying teachers and teaching a practice don't deserve money for time and effort. In my experience it was and is easy to get caught up in someone else's practice/journey. free or paid this is easily said around friends and family who also have their ideas of what should be going on.... I did some qigong and then eventually went to a PAID nutrition camp/health ministry and then I reached for Jesus Christ. Those teachings are free. Lots of people in business intend to do good-it can become problematic, though. Qigong might be your thing though and I hope you find something that works on many levels. I picked up an outdoor class qigong long time ago and it was free but I insisted on paying. so maybe something is free and you end up paying for it or something has a cost and you get it free not intended. who is to say whats on your path

  9. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    WORDS So innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. -Nathanial Hawthorne it is not a favorite quote. I saw it on a nightstand in the form of a book marker and liked it.

  11. The duality fallacy

    I began reading what you posted. I will read it entirely. tried to paste something in the introduction...everyday in his meditation he prays that he may overcome the sense of ego, that he may abstain from fault-finding and criticism of others and that he may acquire -love and sympathy for all.The Vedantist cannot sit down to meditate until he clears his mind of hatreds and resentments. I send a thank you for posting that and a thank you to your Christian nondualist friends as well. I like the mosaic as well on the cover. /132 The Sermon on the Mount according to Vedanta 7 / 132

    Enjoying Gospel of Matthew on Netflix-three plus hours long-but its enjoyable and love parables too. similar to tao ching something makes that kind of delivery more applicable or more creative/mysterious

  18. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand' A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome, her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Emma Lazarus Poem titled The New Colossus located on Statue of Liberty a gift from France to the United States long time ago...1886
  19. The duality fallacy

    I just do not agree. I read through what was written, I will read it again slowly. It feels like I have read it so many times and that somehow it is like brainwashing. Why is it so bad if there is a separateness of you and object. I like me over here and a you over there. and once it gets odd- then its weird. I think it is also unnecessary. I like being separated. I like duality. I do not think any knowing is possible with out being conscious of it in general. I agree on that. Does someone have to get fully vested in Advaita or non duality. Can you give me part of the NIV bible that express this? Maybe through another lens or angle. I think this MUST be a meditation technique or necessity for some people. If my questions or participations are not welcome in this forum. Please just use english directed to me. meditation is not going to save my soul. we are all welcome to belief what we want or not. I think as a spiritual forum...all questions or counter questions are permissible ? This seems to be pretty much the most important aspect of meditation beginning and non duality school. Its almost irritating like if a trees falls in the forest and no one is around does it make a sound. it does make a sound.
