A change came over me this week, when I decided to enter the I AM and stay permanently within it and give up on clever spiritualities, just surrender fully and no longer come out. No longer try to bridge things with the world of humans as they are. To go in and remain in a sealed state of light, to have the light flow down from the halo to coat the entire body and no longer return to the world state of humans. For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. 5 mins of very important instruction : Some notes : Firstly, all the violent darkness that is human culture should not be imbibed because it shatters the inner structure of your being, the molecules of your inner structure. Well it's been a long time coming, but I see nothing of value in it. Just a sewer turning over. Secondly, feelings are a weak point for humans are often used to infiltrate the structure, must be strongly guarded .... i.e. don't fall for anyone's guilt trips or emotionalities. Thirdly, consider yourself supplied by the Light, by the I Am, and no longer look for your supply in society. I hope you can understand what that means. It means go up and not down. Dont open yourself to society and hoover it up like it has a future. Instead surrender to the Light and believe in it, accept it inside you. In all this there must be a real willingness to change levels of existence. Otherwise what is the spirituality for ? Just an amusement ? Are you ready to leave or not ? This is Christian so Heaven is up (( Consciosuness of the head). The Taoist version would be the surrender downwards from the belly on the exhale, and fall into the fertile abyss. "The bucket falls off".

Who will live longest and best, a monkey with no eyes, or one with no ears. The answer is clear. The volume of information conveyed to us through light is staggeringly enormous, ears not in the same ballpark. (unless you are Zatoichi !!! but even he had eyes, in the end) I enjoy doing meditations involving sound, they are very relaxing and take you inside the head, and it's all very nice. But light is the mainsense through which our consciousness seems to have developed, that's why eyes are on the front of the head, and why there are so many chakras around them ... on the front of the head about 7 depending on who's counting. It's also why the golden flower turns the light around. How many chakras near the ears ? Only energy gates not true chakras. Anyway, you can meditate very effectively using the ears if you wish.

Even if you wrote out a "correct theory" that would certainly not mean that anyone here reading it .... is in the correct state. Entering the correct state is not the result of reading a correct theory. That's the problem with these kinds of authors, they don't really understand that more theories is not inner change. Most of them are using spirituality as another ego game and may not be in any way connected to the soul of the path. Also the Earth does not go round the Sun nor did Gallileo succeed in convincing everyone, nor did Newton discover gravity ... but it makes for a great story !!!!! He says the world is Quantum Mechanical ... what on earth does that mean. "And we must learn to perceive it as such." .... thanks .... .... ... how ? - oh the book ended - - well that's great !!!! -

Hello, yes I am similar. I have come to feel of late that all the big predictions statements and interpretations in Christianity are all in error .... it has become a boastful outer structure of the Christian culture that is quite far from JC's simple teachings. There is a great deal of discussion in Christianity about the authenticity of the miracles and such things and which pope or deacon has real authority .... it's become quite a big game. When what Jesus said was you should love the origin of your existence with all your heart mind and soul. And that's it. And who does ? Few. They are all still trying to intellectually convince themselves that he was the messiah because the miracles are authentic, but this has zero to do with spiritualtity for even if you are "convinced" ... you still haven't felt surrendered to of loved god. Christianity is very strange because the more I read JC's actual words and remove the gigantic baggage, and just read, then he sounds like many a great sage. With the only addition that he may have been sent deliberately. Those are some of my feelings. 27 A good walker leaves no tracks; A good speaker makes no slips; A good reckoner needs no tally. A good door needs no lock, Yet no one can open it. Good binding requires no knots, Yet no one can loosen it. Therefore the sage takes care of all men And abandons no one. He takes care of all things And abandons nothing. This is called "following the light." What is a good man? A teacher of a bad man. What is a bad man? A good man's charge. If the teacher is not respected, And the student not cared for, Confusion will arise, however clever one is. This is the crux of mystery.

Having an attitude to be good or not or be indifferent or not .... all these options are still in the low frequency false self. The IAM is the entry of high energy light into the headspace (forming the halo) and one needs to simply maintain it and value it.

This version is actually quite good for a white guy .. who btw is not a Chinese culture specialist but a translator of many spiritual works. He has a genuine spiritual feeling, but it is not a Taoist feeling and he relates some words back to Christian / Indian terminology because he does not understand Taoism. That's my opinion. Best I've seen is Giu Fu Feng. But it cannot be understood without the Dantien understanding it.

It is possible to strength abidance in IAM through (a) recognition of self (feeling recognition that I am here), (b)gently surrendering into it, (c) embodying merging with it, (d) letting go into it, letting go from ego observation of IAM to IAM being IAM. These together make a stronger tie. As for the thinking, one can be present in the forehead so that the thinking dos not happen without being there. It is actually poor education to imagine the thinking is supposed to happen without being the thinker - this is wrong. This causes awakening of the forehead centres and is a delicate practice as it is close to the disturbing mind.

Yi Gong/Kunlun/Spontaneous Qigong Questions
rideforever replied to Kongming's topic in Daoist Discussion
Recently been doing this practice got both Max's books, Jenny Lambs' DVDs, and there is also a teacher called Hozen at a Taiwan Kunlun monastery that has some nice videos on youtube. Part of the practice to do with raising the heels is a discharge triggering practice that is also used in T.R.E (trauma releasing exercises) and triggers the discharge of material built up in the subconscious. Likewise with the allowing of movements, you are allowing the subconscious to unwind itself using its natural cleaning. This is similar to bioenergetic shaking practice. To allow the subconscious to lead you is a big thing because you are letting the ancient subconsscious animal have control. This is very interesting because it is possibly that the subconscious is actually what is most real and most spiritual in us. However I have a sense it could be unsafe if that person is not very conscious in the head, or if the subconsciousness is too wild and not centered ... so it would be good theoretically to add those practices in if you are not already doing them. So, theoretically I would say that one should also be working on becoming conscious (present in the thinker, at the front of the head ... for instance 3rd eye meditation or golden flower), and also present in the solar plexus which is the mind-centre of the subconscious (for instance standing pole hands at sp). These practices put you in the driving seat of both the conscious and subconscious minds. Which is quite different to just letting the wild animal do its thing in spontaneous qigong. Altogether powerful practices. Also doing T.R.E is good and discharges more quickly and is more benign. And from years of experience ... there is little point pumping chi around if you have trauma splits (fragmentation of the subconscious) ... which are actively recreating blockages in the present.... it would be 100 times faster to use trauma discharging than to fix it with chi. I can't say I am 100% sure about all of this, but some thoughts. -
On the nature of creation - Ramana Maharshi

A pleasure ! -
My understanding is that a human evolved into its current semi-consciousness through the development of vision and it is why you can do this trick with vision but not sound. The "mind" is actually the "mind" of vision,meaning it is an intelligence that is designed primarily to process visual perception, however it has some flexibility so it can be used to process other things generally ... so on the spiritual path you are repurposing the tool that was originally designed to bring intelligence to visual perception. And why did this are develop most quickly ? Probably due to it leading to physical survival. So I have been informed.

It's very interesting because in each moment there is the possibility to become a bridge ... if there is something to be done, or learnt, or acted upon, or loved ... one can do that in a perfect way and then it is like lightning flashing across two plates. That is the perfect line between life, carving straight through butter. And we can learn to feel that, it's quite amazing. Every moment this "work" can be done. What is it that this moment is asking of me ?

We grow in our understanding, we grow in our connection to what-it-is. Our own consciousness is a very very large journey, containing many states of awakening and surrender in multiple dimensions each of which can be independently deepened or integrated and so on. Thousands of years of work. Maybe millions. Maybe this is what never ends. For a human being that is lost in the mental disturbances, and fragmentation, he has particular work to do in order to reach sanity and come out of the false self; until he does that he cannot see straight. He must separate himself from the automatic thoughts and self-image, and connect himself to part of his true identity with the help of a guide that transmits both the energetic state and also practical guidance of some form. The inside and the outside ... these things can be bridged ... "oneness" is were you feel in a safe place outside of the mind and then have a new relationship with the world, but a lot further down the line you apparently feel like the world is contained within you, you are merged with it in activity. Also you have a different sense of who you are, a very different sense of it - it is partly universal, partly personal, really many things. A great deal of time is spent to feel what one becomes so that one can try to understand such changes and their meaning ... this takes a long time. To grow spirituality takes time, and then to understand what happened takes a long time to integrate into oneself.

TTC describes the Tao, but the author wishes to make clear at the beginning that Tao is not the concepts/ words but that which the words point to and if you wish to know Tao you must move from the concepts / words to sensing the Tao directly. The Laws of Nature are similarly to the TTC attempts to describe "what it is", by beings with their own insights and understandings ... and these descriptions are at many levels, for many purposes, and coloured by many things. But that being so, the purpose of all such laws of nature descriptions is once again to point you to direct contact with "what it is in itself". On determinism : Life grows and lives, which means their is risk and hazard, otherwise there would be nothing. Life living means there is hazard, their is continuous discovery. Beings of a low order are mechanical and have little free will, but as you ascend in consciousness so more free will is available .... however many humans for instance refuse to use free will because it can be shocking to use and exposes you to the terror of living without the protection of the habits of the tribal mentality. It may be that from "God"'s perspective we have no free will ... however we cannot know this and we are what we are and have to live from our own perspective, there is no escape from what one is. imo "God" himself is simply just like us, growing, experimenting and so on, not knowing exactly why ... but continuing to explore. Tao and the forces of this universe are not fixed but also learn, like a school changes over time, and their are many actors that may or may not appreciate you .... nevertheless there are golden rules that are very trustworthy, you reap what you sow, and certain qualities count for a lot, fortune favours the brave - and even higher beings get bored of any routine, and need a good laugh from time to time. Taoism is a path that seems to favour following the energetic flows of existence and its rules, rather than the rules of the heart or of consciousness.

Human Brains Shrinking for 30,000 Years
rideforever replied to rideforever's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Norweigian Intelligence Study on Millennials https://nypost.com/2018/06/12/millennial-men-are-getting-dumber-by-the-year/ Seems that the rise of connectivity is accelerating the decline. Ever seen the Matrix ? Anyway, there is always a response for those that wish to be alive whilst they are alive. As a muscle atrophies if it is not used, so does intelligence emotion and spirituality. And no, reading stuff on the internet, or memorising the best theories, does nothing, because it costs you nothing. -
Human Brains Shrinking for 30,000 Years

Ha. Well ... I think I would be hard pressed today to find many people who care about such things. After all who wants to be intelligent, right. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289613000470 -
Human Brains Shrinking for 30,000 Years
rideforever replied to rideforever's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I read once a forum about the Titanic, a bunch of people were really going at it to see if the ship after hitting the iceberg, whether judicious course of action could have actually saved the ship. It went into great technical detail : from memory it would have been possible if some makeship welding had been done, as well as the ships engines blowing all the water in them .... or something like that. Anyway, the interesting thing was that the engineers on board her at that time could do logarithmic calculations in their heads. Now today many people can use calculators etc... But they cannot do logarithmic calculations in their heads. And that is a degeneration of the quality of people. And as you can see, the more assistance you give to people the lower in quality they become. Yes ... they can use the machines that do everything, but they cannot themselves do it, they no longer have the power. But ... the trend to thing oneself clever because you can use a machine, is deeply entrenched, people love it. Most no longer remember the point of being capable. -
Yes very reasonable, but the deal that tm has organised is not what you might imagine. It is not a free trade deal. We give 40bn quid - sort of paying in advance. And then later on the EU will decide if they want a trade deal But .... we have paid then cash. So they can give us a bad deal and we'll be forced to take it. Not only that but in the deal northern ireland the sovereignty over it is partially given to the eu, I shit you not. It means that unless the eu wants to change Northern Ireland soveriegnty we can lose Norther Ireland. It's beyond ridiculours. We actually get nothing at all. So basically if this deal went through then if we want a trade deal with then, when we negotiate, then hold against us 40 bn pounds and northern ireland. What kind of a deal you gonna get when losing part of terriotory and all your money is at stake ? You gonna get nothing. We might even lose Gibraltar, be forced to accept fishing in our waters (whocares) and who knows what else. We will be unable to refuse. The alternative is simple. Just leave. Connect with the USA/AUS/NZ/CA. And then lets see if German cars wish to be sold in the UK. I have a feeling that tm might be somewhat suicidal and may be subconsciously organising a really bad deal so that end up remaining in the eu .... which would make me laugh. But legally it is not known if we can just pull out now - that's in the ECJ courts right now.

Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. Man's thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or later, with astounding accuracy. This is the law of Karma, which is Sanskrit for "Comeback." "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." "Bless your enemy, and you rob him of his ammunition." His arrows will be transmuted into blessings. "Keep thy heart (or imagination) with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." (Prov. 4:23.) This means that what man images, sooner or later externalizes in his affairs. I know of a man who feared a certain disease. It was a very rare disease and difficult to get, but he pictured it continually and read about it until it manifested in his body, and he died, the victim of distorted imagination. Florence Scovel Shinn Hmm ..... I take it as a test

Baal Shem Tov : "Although the teachings of the Ba’al Shem Tov derive to some extent from the Kabbalah and frequently employ kabbalistic terminology, he added an emphasis on personal existence and the salvation of the soul of the individual, as a requirement for the redemption of the world: “For before one prays for general redemption one must pray for the personal salvation of one’s own soul” (Toledot Ya’akov Yosef). He emphasised the personal against a previous preoccupation on messianism." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal_Shem_Tov

Looks like TM is selecting Sunday 9th to do the TV thing .... leaving only 1 day before the vote. Which is clever it leaves little time to realise that everything she says is completely meaningless. And it puts more pressure on Corbyn because if he derails her on the 9th and the vote is lost on the 11th then the Tories can blame it on Corbyn. However if for instance the TV thing was this weekend, then we would have a good week for the whole world and his dog to pull her apart and Corbyn would escape direct responsibility. What she wants to do is kick everyone up the backside just before the firing squad .... an ancient British tradition before "going over the top" just to make sure no intelligence is used by anyone whilst walking to their doom !!!! Will the yanks save us again ? .
