  1. Anyone familiar with this rare Qigong form ?

    My second thought heart attack very soon.
  2. Anyone familiar with this rare Qigong form ?

    My first thought was constipation, fatal constipation šŸ˜
  3. Making videos

    Focus on what you want to do. You are a bit scattered. What is it you want to give? What is it you need to survive well? Then decide what to sell, if your teacher said never for free and you honor him then there is only one way you must charge. Money is energy in exchange. You know this.

    Lol I almost changed it but something told me it would amuse someone, glad it was you.

    I have to say the last season was far too short and it does seem things were rushed to tie it up in a nice šŸŽ
  6. Making videos

    For those wanting to learn priceless. Here is a thought you could check and see why is involved to sell it in two different ways. #1. Already being a book seller on Amazon see what it will take to sell via their video service. #2. Do this with Apple also. #3. Do this with You Tube subscription services ( Not Sure If they sell outright or not like the other two. The minute you let physical unencrypted media loose you are done, at least this way you limit digital theft or mitigate it to some degree and obtain world wide distribution channels second to none. You may also want to consider inserting yourself practicing and further explaining what your teacher is doing. you have a good video presence and a good voice. BTW is the book done yet?

    Saw it, 3 times have to agree with Ilumarian. He Vader snatched her throat she dropped the knife masterfully caught it in the other hand and eliminates the overblown villain. Throughout the whole series she has kept herself together suffered much and adapted. Remarkable and fatal! Why hate on the victor?

    It is I left that part out, would do that first before audio recording.
  9. Living in the Now, vs. Dementia

    Do yourself a favor, read your notes for a test into a voice recording app. Play the app while going to sleep be with every word as much as possible then fall asleep. Cant begin to tell you how many exams I aced that way.
  10. Your Life Has Already Died

    Past, present, future all matter very much every moment by moment is precious. Precious due to itā€™s very impermanence. We as human beings have no other way than balance in imbalance To be fully aware in every moment would indeed be something, I rather think our perception of linear time would have no choice but to stop.
  11. Your Life Has Already Died

    It depends greatly on ones own point of view. There is a trap with this to be sure but I have faith this person is navigating there way through pretty good. Let us support him and thank him for sharing his realizations, these are not so very easy for many. This is a phase but not one that goes away, because it is the truth of the matter and one grows into the truth of what is being shared and it leads not to depression even though there can be some of that too until one crosses that substrata but a freedom of the eternal now. Thank you Rideforever for sharing, you've got this.
  12. Your Life Has Already Died

    What you first wrote is good discovery. Best Wishes in your ongoing discovery.

    It has been confirmed. George R.R. Martin says books won't end like Game of Thrones Martin promises plot variations (and similarities) when The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring finally come out. https://www.cnet.com/news/george-r-r-martin-books-wont-end-like-game-of-thrones-author-says/

    Nice to see you.
  15. Omniscience. Game of Thrones.

    Me too. I got that feeling also beyond his heritage like the Dragon was not happy with the way he was made to serve. I thought well he is a Young Dragon but not a foolish one and has much to atone for as he grows older for his misdeeds even though misled. We may give him a pass but I get the feeling he will not give himself one. I predict this is not the last we have seen of this Dragon. Well said I agree.

    Ask him which he liked better an over powered Thanos without the gauntlet or having a Mark Rufio persona and appearance dominate the Hulk through the whole movie? For that matter In Thor Ragnarok the Hulk would have cleaned old Purple Puss's clock. Thanos was never in his league when it came to power. Or how about Disney Butching up Captain Marvels beautiful long hair and making her weaker again than Thanos when she was clearly one of the most powerful characters on the board. I mean seriously she rips through Battle Ships like they are made of tissue paper and traverses galaxies under her own steam. Errr no sale Disney. Thanos has never been this powerful without the Gauntlet. Next thing you know if the character makes an appearance she will have a Afro-American Hispanic / Chinese / Atheist / Left Wing girlfriend..... Yay Disney!!!! NOT!!! Or how about a Thor who has more in common with a beer guzzling redneck than a God of Thunder. Or how about how Captain America gave up his shield all so Disney can have a Captain Afro-American? Or how about using weak story telling using Time Travel and even screwing that up? Geez whoever put that movie together is an idiot. Lovely company with so many agendas can hardly wait to see how badly they destroy the next Star Wars. In a way I am glad Disney ended things, they were ruining it horribly.

  18. Astral Projection (don't shoot)

    Seems to me you are doing just fine in fact I rather think you are doing quite well.

    You are convinced you do.

    Intuition is direct knowing it comes to you in a flash and does not require prior expertise with any subject. Inference is very much like the example of the nurse and the medical diagnosis. Nurses are medical professionals and exposure to that field day in and day out leads to medical knowledge. While it can be intuition because intuition knows no boundaries the chances of inference or minds workings below the nurses awareness is more likely or perhaps even a blending of the two. Here is a story from when I was 19 back in 1988. My friends and I were going to rent a house. The real estate agent showed us the property and the Alarm went off. She said oh no we had better go the police are going to show up and I donā€™t know the code! We will have to come back later once I get back to the office and call the owner for the code. (1988 very few cell phones) I was in the Paravastha of Kriya the after effect of stillness, silence, spaciousness from earlier practice that day. All of a sudden I knew I knew the code so I walked over the the key pad and simply punched in the codes and disarmed the system. Everyone stared at me a bit spooked like they had just seen a man fly, something the rational mind must reject just occurred. The flumuxed real estate agent exclaimed how did you do that? I just grinned and said oh it just felt right. This my friend is intuition. The how is not difficult become still, become quiet inside, become spacious. If you are receptive you can receive.

    I will not pretend my living here is the same as yours. It is unique and different for everyone, even for two people sharing the same bed, the same meal, the same external life essentially even when all needs are met and want for nothing. In reply to this please be aware that when I say ā€œLiving Hereā€ it means something different. It means I acknowledge your unique experience of human life and it is with great respect and humility. I would like to ask if you know that the greatest spiritual teaching is the one everyone who takes human birth gets is free? Do you know that the lack of Shamballa on the outside world is on purpose? Do you know that it is everyoneā€™s duty to grow for their own sake to be in the world and not of it? Do you know just how big of a task that is? Do you know it is a process and does not come all at once for nearly anyone? Do you understand that running to the mountains while beautiful will not give the peace within as wherever you go you will bring yourself? With respect the Shamballa within is a work in progress and the closer it is to full maturity the less the outside world will have so much to do with how difficult or easy it is to be here. In my opinion based on what you have shared it is my advice you work on your inner world while making your way in the world. A gentle discipline of no more than 15 minutes twice daily of inner work will help you. If you want to learn Kriya go to my PPD I have shared 1st part of first Kriya practice techniques there. If every human being worked only 15 minutes per day on their inner world the outer Shamballa would be even now.
  22. Shambhala

    Sounds great Steve I would love to read about it please do start a thread.
  23. Imprinting your desire on an atom

    OUCH!! I read this series Long, Long ago it was contributory to FUCKING UP MY EARLY LIFE. I am so very sorry to burst anyone's bubble but as wonderful and inspiring as it was, it was a work of Romantic Fiction. I still love the stories none the less.
  24. Astral Projection (don't shoot)

    ROFL šŸ¤£ You are sooo baddd!!! šŸ¤£
  25. Astral Projection (don't shoot)

    Shamballa is within. No need to be extrovert in your efforts obtain the introvert stage. Intuition is being confused with inference in this thread. Intuition is immediate knowing.
