You confused the avatars LMRAO

Lol Dummy

He, he, he wrong, oh so very wrong.

As for me I would have shot the hawk. I have no problem shooting anything getting aggressive in my territory. Lifts leg and marks the perimeter.

Well that is ironic on the surface and I laughed at that, then realized you know we never know a persons background who is to say that they never had a Man Woman relationship and what choice did the fella have if he found out he preferred men? Could be his nature is mostly female, energetically and emotionally. I for one believe in reincarnation and what is to say all of what is coined gender dysphoria and homosexual is nothing more than many lifetimes being born the opposite gender and is now carrying forth in the current life? This makes more sense to me than anything else. In my opinion I think it might be necessary to truly become complete and the transition must be hard..

Well Stoshy-poo, Hah! thats your new gimmick, he, he, he. Back when we all thought Bill Cosby was a good guy and a comedian he used to talk about a fella that told him how great it was to use cocaine. The guy said it intensifies your personality. To which Bill replied " Yeah but what if Your and asshole???

I find it best to avoid the Trump Thread. That is one toxic waste dump.

Speaking to Dwai. Nothing wrong at all but nearly impossible for most including myself to do all the way all at once. Practices help make changes a little bit at a time then more and more this triple codependent activity the Swami was explaining becomes less and less. This Swami has an entertaining delivery but there is nothing new in what he is saying, these are not his instructions or his discovery alone it is all in the Gita. I like the way he is saying it, great delivery, to the point and is not telling anyone what to do. Anyone can improve in this area they need not be a Swami or a monk it is different for householders in many ways because they are constantly confronted with varying degrees of many issues from many different directions all the time all day every day. Householders can make even more rapid progress than one who becomes a monk because of these very challenges. One thing is certain the householder will know when they have as there is no other way for them but to work out everything from basic survival and social enteractions that make survival possible and more.

A great yogi to be certain. Many great works but not the same. Kriya started with Lahiri Mahasaya in the 1800’s The word has many meanings and can be applied everywhere. Hariharanandaji explained it well Kriya is the Gita. If a practitioner realizes Krishna as the sole doer in all things then this is the practice of Kriya. Nice dated Video:

Thank you for another wonderful video.

I agree with you. This is why I respect the lineages. Experience confirms the truth of what is. The amazing part to me is how shallow my wisdom is and how great the wisdom of those who have already been here and reached the next evolution truly is.

They are not bad, I discussed him with Ennio a few months back, he thinks he knows who he is and is happy that he is making the attempt to share things. As for me I like his Fiery attitude and passion and direct attitude and take on things. He has some good stuff many of the practices are from other sources not Kriya related at all. This is not to say not good but rather he is emphatically stating what he has found to be good. I admire his spirit and have purchased the series to further promote his efforts to make things more clear but in the end it is the one parking their but on the cushion and doing the practices for themselves that realizes more in more in time and no book can give that.

I would avoid SRF the organization Yogananda founded, I was involved with it the early days, and know former monks. The master is gone what remains is more of a church of sorts. If you want a real teacher one who will give the time and actually help contact Donald Abrams at www.Kriyalove.com. Don was a personal student of Paramahamsa Hariharananda (Paramahamsa Hariharananda Was a personal student of Yogananda and Sri Yukteswar Giri first.) for something like 20 years or more and has been teaching for over 30 years to a select small group. Don is now teaching full time to a much larger audience using all the tools of the internet and in person as well. I have spent time with the Kriya Gurus and organizations. Don is the only one I ever met who actually stays in touch with people and is happy to offer actual guidance beyond just giving techniques. Funny fact many teaching Kriya today came from Hariharananda there are even some like Nityananda who did not even know it because there Guru did not tell them until much later on. There are allot of would be Kriya Gurus that are really just students so caution and common sense.

Thanks will take a look this evening

Hi Jeff thank you for the like. I would appreciate it if you would also take the time to compare and contrast your ways with that of the Bon Tradition especially Guru Yoga.

To me it means the following. 1. As Human Beings we experience only a portion of what there is via limited sense organs therefore all data received is incomplete and full of illusion, delusion and error therefore there can not be any absolute knowing by reason or the senses. To further complicate this everything is filtered through the conditioning of the mind which is influenced by culture , gender, cast color and creed. We have shared similarities, commonalities but my experience of life is much different than yours. Both are equally illusory and the realm itself is only partly perceived in a very minute way. 2. The world of waking life like the world of sleeping and dreaming life are equally dream worlds. 3. We the dreamers through group karma inhabit the same realm and are governed by the laws of said realm even though both waking and dreaming are equally dreams if you walk off of a building in the waking dream realm you will not fly, you will fall and become hurt and or die transition out of the waking realm.

Wow, Poor kid.

The total number of people has and this is the root issue. Uncontrolled irresponsible breeding habits. I agree with Shatner. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/04/25/william-shatner-worries-humanity-wont-live-to-experience-star-treks-utopia/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.76a8c2dda82d

Well then I will purchase the kindle version and audio book.

The first experience I ever had was after the performance of first Kriya Yoga. This culminates in the state of Paravastha. Paravastha can be described a bit like this. Let me see if I can use words to convey. it is a process. In Kriya there are the triple divine qualities. 1. Divine Vibration / Pulsation / Electrical sensation 2. Divine Sound the sound of Anahata the heart Chakra the unstuck ceaseless sound. 3. Divine light. Seen as a glow from a butter lamp and becoming milk white light. From these 3 things which can all be going on at once or in combination or singularly the mind is drawn into single pointed absorption. When the triple divine qualities are in the throat chakra a curious thing called Kechari Mudra occurs where the tongue enters the cave of Brahman up in the skull by sliding up and behind the soft pallet. When this occurs there is a connection made where energy streams down from the crown and energizes the entire central channel & chakra system even to the Jewel tip chakra at the tip of the penis. After this occurs the entire body is full of a higher vibration and then a deep calm overcomes everything the mind is silent and absorbed in bliss and the awareness is withdrawn into the crown. Here one resides detached from body awareness and sensory awareness. While here in the stillness the spaciousness and the silence. Here one resides until it becomes time not to and one completes their practice. One day something different, something else happened. Complete absorption in the crown became absorption without form as it usually does. Then when the session was over I pulled the tongue down into my mouth again and swallowed. As I sat there as is often the case the desire to get up was absent the desire to remain was strong and the tongue again shot up into the cave of Brahaman and the energetic flow started all over again. It grew and it grew and with every breath grew ever stronger, the body was fairly vibrating and hopping in the cross legged position and the male anatomy was extremely erect. I then felt a female presence and in my minds eye beheld her form that of a mature yet still young woman standing in front of me naked. She placed her right hand and on my left shoulder then looked into my face with understood expression saying are you ready without words, meaning well understood. I assented and she with both hands on my shoulders slowly lowered herself onto and over my erectness. Her legs were then wrapped behind me holding me and I felt her warmth and touch as real as any flesh and blood woman. She held me tight and guided the energies between us moving them up and down our respective spines in ecstatic blissful union. She then without words instructed me how to move these energies myself and in doing so I lost the tactile and visual experience of her as she joined me within revealing herself in my understanding to be the divine Shakti herself. From her I learned True Pranayam is in the breathless state where the energy moves without breath acting as a pump nor is it guided by will but by polarity and affinity going and doing what it must as it must as an intelligent living thing that is not just electricity. This was the start after this she would visit as described above and also just as the familiar presence within guiding. The time came where the guidance too the form of being in the center 4 finger widths below the navel and I was guided to build up compression there and lock the anus in Mulha Bandhi. Here the energy would flow from the inhaled breath and compress and burn and I would then allow this feeling of heat to rise and it would touch the heart chakra then the throat then the crown and each gave a different blissful feeling then from the crown the energy would flow back into the center 4 fingers below the navel excite it and repeat each time growing stronger this cycle would repeat several times and fresh air was needed. On many occasions I had to stop because there was such great heat being generated, enough so an Air Conditioning duct blowing on my non clothed body could not cool it down an I would find myself drenched in sweat with huge drops dripping off of me. Later the body heat sensation tapered off and was kept more inside the channel. In time I learned about letting the heat build in the central channel and read some on what this was and learned it was called Tummo. It was amazing to experience this then find corroborating information that this was something known for a very long time very far away. From that I learned about visualization and possibility for other ways of practice besides just feeling. It was all very interesting because I had experienced and felt so much that reading descriptions seemed less fanciful than if I had merely intellectualized them. So I would sit and finish my practices of Kriya and then transition into Tummo using visualizations to bolster what I could already feel. Sure enough gradually allowing the flame to rise higher and higher like a needle point each Chakra was made to drip bliss and collect in the center 4 fingers beneath the navel. With some experience in feeling some book learning I modified my practice adding visulaizations and the process became like this. I would feel the emptiness of the body which I was familiar with as roaming as something as small as a bacteria in the huge hollow human form, this was something that occurred regularly with me a s a child even. This is where the human body felt like a huge hollow shell with my awareness free to roam withing the spaciousness of it. Sitting I would feel for the 3 channels 1. I would inhale and draw outside Prana or Lung down the two side channels and into the center 4 finger widths below the navel while doing this allowing the lower abdomen to extend out like a vase. 2. Getting a good feeling for this would add Mula Bandhi and 3. Lowering the chin to the chest retaining the breath and squeezing the lung compressing it in the central channel while 4. Visualizing a flame and attaching the feeling of heat it get hotter with the flame building and the tip getting hotter and hotter and then. 5. Piercing the center with a white hot needle and then. 6. Seeing /feeling the flame lengthen and touch the Heart chakra as the intense heat penetrates the Center and rises up the central channel then 7. The flames ultra hot tip licks at the heart chakra and it drips ecstasy. This drop vibrates and when it 8. Touches the center with the flame the flame grows more powerful and lengthens and touches the throat If I am not in Kechari at this point it happens and locks into place. This then drips another vibration quality touches the heart and like a gong make s a vibration sets off a resonance and they both join at the flame center where the energies again cause the flame to grow and vibrate with different qualities of ecstasy. This flame then 9. Reaches all the way up warming the heart and the throat going right through the center of them with searing heat and finding it s target in the very top center of the crown chakra causes it to vibrate. I listen to the different vibrations without trying to impose mental mantra. then 10. The energy from the crown grows vibrates and drops striking the throat then the heart then the Center 4 finger widths below the navel and it is so energized the energy then take s a downward route and I partly release the lock of the perineum and anus and the energy flows into the the perineum causing it to vibrate with pleasure then the shaft of the penis finding a chakra there that is further vibrated and stimulated and onward to the tip of the Glans penis where it will at times circle the circumference of the glans then at the culmination of pleasure draw it back through the center of the penis up into the center 4 inches below the navel where a new dynamic of vibrations is felt and repeat the cycle. 11. Eventually a breath needs to take place and often this entire cycle can only be performed 3 or 4 times before some normal recover breathing needs to take place. Mostly because I can tend to spend too much time experiencing each center soo deeply that sense of time is lost and the energies dissipate into the body. The whole thing of not breathing is dependent on the body being fed so much raw energy, this is not a passive practice at all and the bliss in my experience is what keeps the mind focused, The visualizations are helpful to further refine the braod strokes of what is felt and at times yes guided. The visualizations also help so I do not remain in one center and chase the vibration to zero point of said center and enter into different samadhi's This has been my experience of Tummo and without formal guidance it occurs to me that the work of Tummo is not being accomplished so I rarely engage in it.

You know I do like this Sri M I am wondering has anyone here had any experience with him.
