What about it made you chuckle?

99. The disciples said to him, "Your brothers and your mother are standing outside." He said to them, "Those here who do what my Father wants are my brothers and my mother. They are the ones who will enter my Father's kingdom." Jesus wasn't limited to his earthly family... he considered all "souls" his brothers and his family ... yet he made it a point to say "those who do what my father wants..." meaning not "all souls" have realized that there's a Father's will to follow (or to follow the Dao) It also highlighted his lack of attachments... ... leaving his poor mother outside!

I hope you can find answers in your journey. 😊 You are welcome to jump right in to the ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forum to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.

I concur Maybe time to take a break from doing whatever your doing... Meditation and qigong should be relaxing, and sometimes you'll sweat or get tingly stuff happening but your not supposed to vomit or cough or anything. It sounds like your forcing your breathing... Please just stop whatever it is thats causing this stuff to happen and reexamine your practice.

Nothing specific that I learned, but more the people that I met, chatted with and made connections. Looking back, this is the most important aspect of any hobby or activity I do.

If anyone wants to practice this skill with the upcoming lottery drawing, please PM me. I will pay for the tickets ! 😄

I’m sure those beings had those abilities, but they seemed to be more concerned about liberation/true nature than showing off or talking about such powers.

Infinite light potential !

Thank you my friend! Always interesting information you provide. I enjoy it 😊

That is awesome. Cats would freak

I always thought the bump in the paintings was something signifying the energy body, not the physical skull.

I have a bump on the top of my head too. I think mine is from a sledding accident as a kid though. ("That explains a lot" comments to follow)

Great shots, Rishi.

The mindset that things should be a different way than they are. It is the epitome of resistance and causes much inner turmoil... ...yet to struggle against the negative is to be in resistance of how things are. Questions like these cause the mind to go round and round. It's like asking "Why do bad things happen to good people?" There may be no "Ah-ha" moment or any answers. Maybe it's just acceptance of it that causes the negative thoughts to start to quiet down. My own experience ... when I really started to seriously practice accepting things how they are... myself...my family... the world... my mind really started to quiet down. Once the mind quiets down, your able to see little threads of thoughts arising. You start to see “why does this thought arise?” Is related to inner work I have to do. Maybe the negative thought/habit has been there since childhood, maybe a past life or maybe last year... it’s like peeling an onion back. The more quiet you get, the more subtle things you notice. Then you think, if I’m accepting it all anyway, then what work really needs to be done? Then i forget the whole thing and go out for a walk and smile. 🙂
