Hi Rickie, So "it's" = all everything = what? 'It' = yoga? Or 'It' =X? What can X be? Anybody? - LimA

Hi Rickie, I know what I know. I know what I don't know. I don't know what I don't know. The more I know, the more I realize how little I know. So what is everything? I know? No - I don't know. I don't need to know. - LimA

Hi dwai, I associate the possibility/ability to make choices in life with freedom. With this freedom comes the responsibility/accountability that I must shoulder well whatever the outcome. When it comes to any subject of 'study', it is very important to me that I know what I am getting myself into. Sometimes my gut feelings take centre-stage. Regarding Kundalini, I tend to align my gut feelings consciously/experientially with my original/natural self - as perceived by me in relation to Nature. My favorite alignment pertains to myself metaphorically positioned as an apple tree - basking in sunshine and rain, as intended by Nature. - LimA

Hi Boundlesscostfairy, I did hatha yoga before. In the early days I used to complain to my Guru about the pain in my joints. Then I was in my thirties and I pointed to Guru the exact spots of my pain. He tolerated with me for while until one day he snapped by pointing to the pain in my head. It was/is a life-changing moment for me till today thus - by conquering the pain in my mind, I can overcome the pain in my body to a good degree. Since then I overcome(came) all my obstacles with my mind to very good effect. Mind over body - in memory of my Guru. - LimA

Hi dwai, With high respect per where you are coming from, let me be forthright - it is beyond me to understand your quotations. Thank you all the same. - LimA

Hi Rickie, Everything includes nothing, something and anything - oh so many things. What else? = I don't know. I am serious. - LimA

Hi Jonesboy, I am also not an expert - so if I get something wrong... - LimA

Hi Jonesboy, Good stuff. If Shiva is associated with jing, Sakti is more associated with shen? Shiva and Sakti - the first and sixth chakras respectively? Kundalini is energy-based - from generative energy to spiritual energy? Each of our body is a microcosm of the cosmic force? A lot of overtones on jing <=> chi <=> shen cultivation? A lot for bite-size experiential digestion? Leading to an (w)holistic understanding of our natural self as intended by Nature? Visarga - meaning "sending forth, discharge" (Wikipedia). The very nature of Siva, the visarga-sakti ~ means (a) yang reaching for yin, (b) urge of first chakra wanting to connect with the sixth, (c) , (d) union of... (e) realization of... (f) ...? Heart - what/where is it? Kundalini activation/activities - points seekers in the direction of the Truth? Knowing the Truth will set them free? The above is my unguarded response to your posted quotes, which I am seeing for the first time. I am sure that with time my response will/may not be the same. Thank you - a little long but some really good stuff. - LimA

The beauty of implicit/explicit misunderstanding? - LimA

Hi 3bob, Thank you.... - LimA

Hi 3bob, I like your above choice of words highlighted in blue. To me a Kundalini path is a very personal one on a road less traveled. But it can be shared with fellow travelers, especially on an experiential mode when they walk alongside each other. Per such a mode, they will be primed and ready to share - when there are honesty and trust. Being brought up in Singapore, multi-racial and multi-religious threads are interwoven into my social fabric. I may not be qualified to speak responsibly/accountably on any of these multi-ethnicities, but I can share experiences openly/honestly/beautifully with trusted friends. From my search on Kundalini - I am comfortable with Shiva, Sakti and Ganesha being put on the same page thus: Each picture is worth more than a thousand words. Your words may differ from mine. But any differences is just fine from mutual/inherent understanding and respect - with trusted friends. - LimA

Hi middle_path, Can I suggest that you honestly ask yourself. Then share your answer(s) with TDB. It may be possible that your question(s) to yourself will give rise to more question(s). Share the ensuing question(s) as well. So, go => yourself. Why? Because you are "interested in the internal arts". Your "internal arts" belong to you when you start to cultivate. Yes/no? - LimA

Same same to all.

Hi Jonesboy, A simple/experiential 'YES' to both (a) and (b). - LimA

Hi Daemon, Is it possible that Light consists of both light and darkness at any moment? The Light I have in mind is not dualistic in any way - but more of a mix of 'who/what' I am momentarily. 'light' and 'darkness' pertain respectively to self knowledge thus - what I know/don't know about myself. I tend to associate Light with Energy which is wide-ranging, various, varied, ever-changing, transformable... Light/Energy fuel my very being. - LimA

You bet... - LimA

Wow - from an ex-5 year old!

Hi Taomeow, Does your lantern look something like these: - LimA

Hi Taomeow, Tomorrow (2 March 2018) will be the last day of the Chinese New Year - it is... Chinese Lantern Festival (a.k.a. Yuan-Xiao Festival) is on the 15th day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar. The Chinese Lantern Festival of 2018 falls on March 2, 2018, Friday, in China. The first day of the first lunar month is the Chinese New Year Day. Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year Festival for 15 days. The Lantern Festival is the last day of Chinese New Year festival. 2018 is the Year of the Dog. The theme of Chinese Lantern Festival will be related to Dog. www.chinesefortunecalendar.com In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, and only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones. In modern times, lanterns have been embellished with many complex designs. For example, lanterns are now often made in the shape of animals. The lanterns can symbolize the people letting go of their past selves and getting new ones, which they will let go of the next year. The lanterns are almost always red to symbolize good fortune.
