My telepathy experiment today WORKED
voidisyinyang replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
This book is the best for me - -"Taoist YOga: Alchemy and Immortality" -- http://fulllotusqigong.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-i-am-ghost-currently-and-will-stay.html my blog has the link to download it. I keep learning more! It's such an intense book and slowly we learn every sentence is crucial. haha. So the golden immortal body is actually based on vitality or chi energy -- so when the body goes into the emptiness through stored up chi energy then there is meeting of the essence body -- the spirit golden body. This then enters into the physical body and it takes three years to transform the physical body into pure vitality as the golden body. After that a new physical body can be created -- the yang shen. I asked Chunyi Lin if he had created a yang spirit body and he said that once in deep meditation in his house in China afterwards he was told people saw him on the street. So other normal people can see and interact with the yang spirit body. Then the physical body can be dissolved into pure vitality as electromagnetic chi energy and go anyway in the universe (supposedly) and then re-emerge as a physical body and also multiple physical bodies can be made.... Of course this is the ultimate goal. I had always wondered about this last bit about dissolving the physical body into vitality - but I was unsure of the difference between prenatal vitality and postnatal vitality and also spirit energy or the light. So the prenatal vitality is not the spirit light. Anyway it's a fascinating book and does say that six supernatural signs appear as the advanced stages are reached. All I can do is read more to learn and memorize the details -- but essentially if there is lustful thinking then the alchemical agent is "illusory." So this is really the main hang up of modern society. If the alchemical agent is developed based on lust then that will increase the lust -- so that when seeing a female that will trigger lust causing the person to then "gather" the illusory alchemical agent again -- and so it is a feedback. It says this doesn't work because then the seminal fluid will clogs the thigh channels so that vitality chi energy can not open up those channels. Also the urethra will discharge reddish-yellow urine. I've never seen that happen but doesn't sound good. haha. Anyway it says that there must be an emptying of the mind to enable the spirit light energy to descend along the front channel and by doing so it turns the generative fluid into generative force and with the breath to drive it then turns into chi vitality energy. So even though the practice relies on sublimation and purification of sex fluid into vitality chi energy it also just as much relies on the mind yoga of emptiness -- emptying the heart of all passionate emotions. It says the heart must die for the spirit to manifest. So I think this is a big error of the West -- Gurdjieff says this is the big problem of Western alchemy -- it gets stuck in the emotional level without the proper mind yoga and the proper sex sublimation. So the thing is the vitality chi energy is really powerful but it has to be made after the heart is emptied of passion yet there is also an increase in generative force to make the chi vital energy. So this is called the water under the fire -- and then the water (sex fluid) is turned into steam as chi vitality -- from the fire of the heart. So the fire of the heart has to be emptied out into the spirit energy -- it says only when the heart fire is calmed does the spirit manifest to descend to get under the water energy to turn it into chi vitality. Also storing the chi in the lower tan tien -- again if there is passion of the heart then this will deconvert the chi back into sex fluid. The chi is actually made from the solar plexus not the heart as I had previously thought. so the heart fire has to descend and the water sex energy has to be sublimated -- to ascend. Anyway people will have to read "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" many times to really memorize this process. http://fulllotusqigong.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-i-am-ghost-currently-and-will-stay.html It still confuses me as well but slowly it starts to sink in. We can lose both post-natal vitality and pre-natal vitality from sex emissions -- but the pre-natal vitality is from our generational original spirit vitality golden body and the post-natal vitality is made from post-natal generative force from food. So depending on when we start the practice and what level we are ate we need more post-natal generative force or not -- depending on how much pre-natal generative force we are born with, etc. The thing is if the "powers" are used then the energy is dissipated and must be recharged through the emptiness meditation. This is what is meant by the difference between ego-based siddhis and shakti-based energy from nondualism in the vedanta teachings. Master Nan, Huai-chin makes this case as well -- saying the modern practitioner falls back into worldliness due to the use of heroic overexuberance when the spiritual powers manifest before the third eye is fully opened. -
I just cut up some Artist Conk mushroom to make tea -- because mushroom is the secret means to counteract the inflammation of wheat farming that goes back to this problem - -starting around 10,000 BCE. So yeah I think modern humans are jonesing for shrooms -- be they psychedelic or medicinal. http://www.cordycepsreishiextracts.com/artist_conk_extract.htm It's the U.S. version of Reishi the elixir of immortality.
-
Human means HUMUS -- that's the root of human -- and mushrooms creates humus. Stamets starts off the video saying Earth is experiencing an extinction crisis that is one of six crisis on Earth's history of life over billions of years -- so factually yes modern humanity is creating an extinction crisis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction So evolutionary biologist -- Michael Soule -- has stated that since the 1970s large mammals have STOPPED EVOLVING -- ecologically -- humans are large mammals. Humans are evolutionary dead -- the above extinction crisis has killed off the evolution of humans in ecology. but 90% of human history is not like that -- I mean the Bushmen culture of Africa from 100,000 BCE to 10,000 BCE. haha. That's the original shamanic culture that had the energy healing that is the same as Taoism. Yeah stamets thinks the internet is a means to solve the ecological crisis but only if he can use the internet to promote mushrooms taking over human civilization. haha. He says mushrooms are the original internet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OlmbWECVm0&feature=player_embedded John Trudell -- he says that we are programmed to believe there is something wrong with us as human beings and use that to push an emotional button. So I agree that this idea of thinking of human individuals as having "original sin" is wrong -- but it's an error of logical type between individual humans and humanity as a whole. Gregory Bateson made this point in his book "Mind and Nature: A necessary unity" -- so individuals want to have families but individuals rarely think of humanity as a whole -- so that having to many families creates geometric population growth. but that is the standard problem in ecology -- it's called the "carrying capacity" and once it's reached then the system collapses. Humans are no different than any other ecological species that becomes dominant -- only like mushrooms we are transforming the whole landscape. So yes we are a blight like mushrooms and the blight has now created the internet -- but the internet is actually supposed to be artificial intelligence. I mean google has made their driverless car. haha. The whole thrust of Western math and logic is to make the automaton - automation is the biggest cause of job loss but this is rarely talked about. Gurdjieff said how modern humans are controlled by the kundabuffer -- this is the blockage in the small of the back -- the gate of life and death -- and so sitting in full lotus stretches out the kundabuffer so that the human individual is not controlled by it. haha. Yes modern humans are mind controlled by left-brain dominance into techno-feminists. Technology by primates goes back to females attempting to avoid rape by male chimpanzees. So first female chimps used spears. Bonoboes though use female sex for peace and the male bonobos rarely ejaculate unlike the male chimps. haha. So the problem of the modern human is the physiology of the male primate with his phallic technology -- attempting to appease females -- but the secret of love is lost. The modern male primate does not know how to control his lower body so he is controlled by the kundabuffer. The deeper meaning is just a cycling of the elements -- desertification is fire as Empire -- EmPYRE - the funeral pyre as a fire. Metal creates Fire -- that destroys Wood as ecology -- carbon-based life is left-handed asymmetric molecules while the new silica-based iron-based technology is right-hand technology with left-brain dominant humans. So there is a complementary opposite relation between left brain dominance of science and rational thinking with right hand technology as inherently destructive of right-brain ecological shamanism and left-handed carbon-based life on earth. So the modern human is against the ecological right-brain dominant shamanic human. John Trudell says that emotional energy was the secret to the 1960s but that emotional energy just created more chaos. Yes the secret of the training is to go beyond the emotions -- to leverage the emotional energy -- to create the electromagnetic healing energy. I go into more of an overview of this plan for Earth -- the Actual Matrix Plan http://nonduality.com/hempel.htm that I had online first back in 2001. It is very radical and the biggest denial is about ecology -- I call this the Alchemy of De-Nile. It goes back to the early iron-based tantra civilizations of Western Asia -- like Egypt based on the Nile river and how alchemy originally came from Ethiopia but the meaning was changed when it went into Egypt. So the iron-based culture became dominant in India about 1800 BC when iron technology -- around 1200 BC - became dominant so that the silver currency which represented the female lunar ecological shamanism -- that female ecological lunar shamanism was replaced by iron. The iron became more valuable than silver currency. But it goes back earlier to the philosophy that geometry can be "contained" through technology -- as contained infinity. A sort of left-brain crystallization that's called the power set axiom -- early forms of the Pythagorean Theorem in Egypt are based on this. The base of the triangle is ISIS and the height is OSIRIS and the hypotenuse is SET/HORUS. to keep this technology developing there must be "mass ritual sacrifice" through the "separation of heaven and earth" - that goes directly against the harmony of heaven and earth of the small universe practice. So left brain dominant called "rationalism" is actually insanity against real humanity. haha. It's a type of mind control because the left brain cuts off the rest of the body emotional energy -- so that people are controlled by their lower emotional blockages. The pineal gland heart connection provides the physiological means of calm peaceful loving sustainable healing energy for humans on earth -- the heart hearth -- to hear time instead of containing time as spatial measurement. It's a deep lost secret.

Actually a blight can "save the world" -- mushrooms! haha. Yeah so that IS my point -- ecology is greatly misunderappreciloved by humans. haha.

Grand Master Wang Liping Ten day Private Intensive
voidisyinyang replied to DragonGateNYC's topic in General Discussion
Ha -- you should get a phone healing from Chunyi Lin so you can feel the laser shen transmission! haha. When I read "Opening the Dragon Gate" I said - -wow this sounds very similar to Chunyi Lin's training and I knew Chunyi Lin personally -- so I could very easily believe Wang Liping's story. Chunyi Lin has the SAME diet as Wang Liping -- ascetic with fasting and one small meal a day -- and Chunyi Lin does the same long full lotus session -- four hours a night like Wang Liping. Chunyi Lin said he levitated once and I asked him about creating another physical body -- a yang spirit and he said others confirmed this happened to him.... Anyway unless people are in the same room with a real energy master and they get to experience the shen transmission -- then otherwise they don't know what they're missing. haha. -
To quote the head abbot of shaolin in the flick I am watching: "Become monks so as to learn kungfu. I'm sure you know we here at Shaolin don't just practice the martial arts. It's to achieve mental control. A man of unpure heart would not achieve much as he would harm himself as well as harm other men."

Lightbulb Alternative in the Phillipines
voidisyinyang replied to konchog uma's topic in General Discussion
The idea is water refracts the light and the rounded bottom of the bottle then refracts it further so it spreads out the light. -
Sitting in full lotus yoga position is considered "good pain" - because it relies on the principles of complementary opposite resonance -- of yin-yang harmonics -- to create chi energy. Taoism is based on self-reliance whereas a lot of religions rely on accepting suffering in terms of hierarchical power and this is a more passive approach to solving problems. So there are 30,000 kids that starve to death every day on the planet currently. That's about 1 million a month and about 11 million a year. Yet this information rarely gets reported because people feel helpless about doing anything. To solve such a problem requires analyzing international relations - I have a masters degree in these type of issues -- and then we become embroiled in confronting corruption. We see this depicted in martial arts films a lot -- the Taoists use their personal training to confront corrupt powerful leaders who create mass suffering. The Taoists will sacrifice their lives for this to stop the corruption. But on a deeper level Mother Nature is the most violent on the planet -- supervolcanos, comets, ice ages -- these are just like a nuclear apocalypse. Modern civilization is the equivalent of a natural catastrophe on Earth -- human civilization is creating mass death, genocide and depletion of resources, fresh water, clean air, etc. So human modern civilization is just like an impersonal force of Mother Nature that wipes out life on Earth that has been here billions of years. Every few millions of years -- tens of millions -- there is a mass extinction of life on Earth and ecology starts over. Humans are literally the last couple minutes of time of life on Earth over the billions of years -- we are a blip of nothing compared to bacteria, etc. Most of all Mother Nature does not need males -- most of nature reproduces without males -- called parthenogenesis -- females can reproduce without males. Males provide some genetic diversity through sex but the male mammal creates stress to the system through the sex of males -- and so this is the secret of the Taoist energy training to turn this energy around and turn it into healing chi energy through universal love energy. So the original human culture was the Bushmen of Africa from 100,000 BCE to 10,000 BCE and the Bushmen males all trained to sublimate their sex energy for electromagnetic shamanic healing of the females -- and the Bushmen culture was peaceful with no organized warfare. Any killing of animals was done with respect to the spirits of the animals. So most of human history is peaceful and actually full of health - the modern humans claim otherwise but it's just because the Bushmen were corrupted soon after they were discovered by modern people -- the Bushmen were enslaved by the Bantu africans who got iron hoes and iron weapons from the Western civilization with plow-based farming starting around 10,000 BCE. So this was based on a philosophy to contain infinity using geometry and phonetic language -- this plow-based solar calendar farming. Actually it is argued that this development of desertification of Earth through plow-based solar calendar iron farming was actually also aligned with the Holocene Era that is linked to the Earth's precession of the equinox -- the Ice Age cycles are tied to the Earth-Sun-Moon cycle that creates a wobble of the Earth's tilt as it orbits the Sun. So there is a backwards wobble to Earth due to the yin-yang dynamics of the Moon and Sun on Earth. So the role of humans on Earth is part of this larger cycle -- life on Earth is actually part of this development of the sun-moon-earth cycle. So the Universe also has mass violence of solar systems being destroyed and galaxies being destroyed and supernova explosions but these are essential to create the matter for the heavy molecules for life to develop. And so all the destruction in the Universe is tied to a larger harmony of life's evolution -- science calls this "biocosm" but science wants to help the whole universe "evolve" -- so that when there is a collapse into a black hole then the universe can start over on better terms. But science is increasingly controlled by artificial intelligence - the machines are taking over. In fact modern Logic going back to Western origins is actually a mechanical logic based on the projection of logarithmic mathematics. O.K. so basically you have Nature, Machines, Humans -- and the real answer is none of the three -- the real answer is formless consciousness as the Wu Chi or the secret origin of the Universe. We can not see Wu Chi but the Taoist philosophy of complementary opposites enables a person to resonate back to this formless source -- to create the loving light energy that is the source of matter. This light energy eternally forms and breaks up matter -- the light energy is created from the process of complementary opposites as a formless process. So the process as consciousness -- impersonal -- and female -- as Wu Chi -- is the ultimate mystery that can never be unveiled -- we can listen to it in silence and when we see it there is light created as healing light from the love energy of the heart of our bodies. The heart connects beyond spacetime to this formless realm - just as a black hole turns into a white hole -- spacetime reverses direction and life starts over again. In this sense suffering is actually the means by which a deeper problem is solved -- only during the suffering we can not understand the deeper problem or be aware of it -- only when we see the light that heals the suffering do we realize that the previous suffering was a "growing pain." So this process is impersonal -- it's not like a person decides to create suffering - it is a blockage like good music needs to have disharmony to make it interesting. It is the play of the universe -- so it is like artwork and also like absurd black comedy. So if we can understand the deeper cause of suffering then we can resonate with the process of complementary opposites -- the practices of energy work in non-western shamanic cultivation -- and this can also heal suffering and return us to our natural state of euphoria through the heart-pineal gland third eye communication of the soul light energy.

voidisyinyang replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
Have you watched any documentaries on North Korea -- the starving kids forced to live on single grains of rice that they might find on the street? I mean the U.S. has a blockade and sanctions -- that's why they are starving imo. Still the whole situation is dire and tragic. Burma is another example. There's connection between Burma and North Korea -- and the "power yoga" in Burma is aligned with the military regime. Yeah Effie Chow's qigong book gets into this how the "National Treasures" of China -- the qigong masters controlled by the state and then the female qigong masters are discriminated against and sometimes kicked out of China for being female.... Thailand also has similar dynamics -- the forest monks being the "power" monks patronized by the state with wealth.... So it does raise some interesting questions -- how the lower body emotional energy creates the qi power but that the qi power can be used for evil politically.... compared to say vipassana which is the cessation practice -- the "water" method -- slower and less powerful but without the evil -- nonviolent -- more of a mind yoga practice. Still I'm not sure this is really true -- I mean there are still perv monks doing mind yoga because they haven't sublimated their sex energy properly. So it's not such a cut and dry issue. -
Sure the last five minutes are hell. haha. But actually I sit in full lotus at the computer too and I don't even keep track of that time -- but it's hours everyday of more full lotus! haha. But it's NOT meditation. Meditation means also doing mind yoga -- self-concentration - and also I do a "steeper" full lotus with the feet up against the hips and the ankles up on the thighs. During my two hour session I have to then adjust my feet after about 40 minutes and then go back up with the ankles on the thighs, etc. But it's getting better I think. Actually the internal orgasm thing -- it just happens -- after an hour and half about -- and the semen goes into the brain. But actually this is dirty energy but it does clear out the blockages -- all the stiffness -- and there is loud cracking noises not just in my shoulders and neck as my neck pulsates but also in my skull cavity. I can feel the pressure of the fluid against the back of my eyes! The impurities of the jing lower body fluid leach out of my gums and out of my eyes and nose. I have to clean up afterwards. So the real key is then purifying that sex energy into chi energy and the pineal gland turns it into chi energy but it actually comes from the soul heart energy -- the Large Accumulator as Gurdjieff calls it. So it's the electromagnetic energy that creates the flexibility -- it's the energy that comes first before the matter. So then in the last half hour the sex energy is getting turned into the chi energy and then the lower body gets real heat from the jing energy turning into chi energy. I admit the storing the chi in the lower tan tien is tricky as my head gets filled with electromagnetic bliss pressure -- and it is focused there. But then I am also working to open the third eye -- so it seems that this has to happen. I know Master Nan, Huai-chin says that opening the eye channels is actually very painful. haha. So I think it takes long non-stop full lotus to really get things done so that the jing energy is purified into chi and the chi is built up without dissipation -- in an environment where there is isolation from energy sucking sources. haha.

So after you all watch the Nike sweatshop expose doc Then we can watch the CIA expose on how they went out of their way to give the 9/11 hijackers their visas to the U.S. haha. I mean corporate-state collusion? CIA-Nazi collusion is a great example as well. But hey this goes back to Plato.

It's a good point why Yan Xin says that virtue is the real secret to qigong training and Effie P. Chow says that if there is bad intention then the energy comes back at you twice as hard. So I don't know -- I just think that if people get angry while having strong qi energy then the results will be dangerous. Chunyi Lin says that the heart is the most powerful energy center but the heart does not know the difference between good and bad so it takes the brain to train to have good intentions with the energy. Still it is difficult sometimes to know what good intentions are -- as the saying goes good intentions pave the way to hell. So the energy goes from kidney to liver to heart but if there a lot of anger energy that is then translated into heart energy then all that liver anger can make the heart very strong as over excitement but if it gets turned into chi energy it could be very dangerous. The lungs as sadness then slow down the breathing to change the heart over excitement to compassion. So the sadness after too much anger and overexcitement will then balance any results of tragic cost from too much energy from anger and overexcitement. The sadness will naturally balance the result. -

Actually my cyber friend met Chunyi Lin in Amsterdam when Chunyi Lin went there to teach qigong for a night -- and my cyber friend had a conversation with Chunyi Lin. So then my cyber friend asked Chunyi Lin if he had telepathy and Chunyi Lin said that telepathy was too "impure" to practice. So when I've been contacted by Chunyi Lin it is the middle of the brain burning up as he works to open my third eye. haha. Actually the biography of Master Thailand Buddhist Monk Mun also describes this telepathy -- how he reads the mind of his students to keep his students in line. But it's not quite the same as the third eye vision to keep on the students. Chunyi Lin said when he was doing his seven week full lotus cave meditation -- with no food, water and sleep - then his teacher would check up on him using the third eye. So the students could not sleep because their master would know about it. Then the last thing Chunyi Lin said to me when I saw him in person was: I'll keep an eye on you. haha. -

Yeah I guess technically it's more "telekinesis" or whatever term is used now -- but the one time I had that real strong was when I went to use this vending machine that was a metal box - and then my quarters stuck to the box and were rolling upwards against gravity. I then checked my energy and I was very surprised that I could make a strong "chi ball" of electromagnetic energy between my hands. But the thing is I was working at nights and no one else worked with me so I was then able to store up my energy which otherwise would have been dissipated onto others. haha. So that happened only once -- except when I had done my intensive training back in 2000 -- but this happened around 2004. -

Yes the book "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" states that normal humans turn into ghosts at death unless the person has built up and stored enough chi electromagnetic energy to power the spirit (light) after death. So it would imply that any type of spiritual communication -- or astral travel -- it's called the "astral tube" on a more minor level -- anyway so it has to be powered by the chi energy. http://fulllotusqigong.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-i-am-ghost-currently-and-will-stay.html Here's my blog post on this and giving the link to "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" I think people have chi energy normally so they can have these psychic synchroncities subliminally -- without necessarily doing the energy training. But if they do the training then the synchronicities are much more apparent. I have precognitive dreams of death and precognitive dreams of emotionally charged future experiences and visions of people I know that have just died -- before I am told about it. So part of it could be telepathy with a closer family member who found out -- like my mom found out and then I got the information from her telepathically -- instead of me actually communicating with the person who died (because I didn't know these people very well at the time of death -- hardly at all).
