  1. Stranger things

    His name is Peter R. Breggin MD. (can be found on the internet) with 40-50 something years experience starting back when these often dangerous drugs first went mainstream. There are countless nightmare stories of kids and adults being harmed by them often with trail and error methods, including over or mixed dosages! Imo the MD's and companies that harmed or are now harming people should be sued to the hilt and then put in prison if found guilty.
  2. Stranger things

    did you ever look into that particular shrink i suggested a long time back? Btw there are several good FYI books on the potential dangers of what your present shrink is talking about! I wouldn't trust most shrinks who just give a prescription and then its hit or miss per their ignorance.
  3. Stranger things

    sticking someone in the head with an awl has been been updated to chemical lobotomy starting with primitive anti-depressant's which evolved into newer and fancier names which more or less do the same damage. (I'm not an md. so do your own research on it)
  4. Help on the spiritual path

    I'd say our duties as a family person is more important than all the phenomenal occult like stuff you've mentioned and which can easily go awry...
  5. Wise TDB members

    but i still can't eat it because of its artificial color, besides I don't want to turn orange-ish and mistakenly look like a co-conspirator with the orange man...
  6. Wise TDB members

    but is that organic and without msg, etc. ?
  7. John 3:3

    Not a single being of any kind exists without Spirit/cause, Christianity does have not corner on Spirit...
  8. Esoteric Cosmology

    Sure, I'd suggest the major Upanishads which are not meant to be sectarian, being that sects often disagree on minor and even major points.
  9. Esoteric Cosmology

    For one Hinduism, aka Sanatana Dharma, the eternal law, not founded by mankind or a person at a certain time or in a certain place... (granted some its cultural and religious parts are not easily adapted to western ways) (btw, "eternal" as you may know is not kosher to some ways)
  10. How To Cure Kundalini Psychosis [A Guide]

    not sure about your meaning on the 2nd paragraph....Btw. I don't know the names and dates but have read that some advanced Rishis in history did turn to the dark side, which seems surprising since it would seem they would be "secure".
  11. 0

    in Hinduism lots of grounding is through yama and niyama, karma yoga, Bhakti yoga, and basic Hatha yoga, thus there is no taking a "ride on the Reading, passing go" and collecting matured enlightenment...although one may get flashes if doing that which is not the same.
  12. How To Cure Kundalini Psychosis [A Guide]

    regardless of any school or its teacher's (including those with true guru) as long as one has any potential left of being turned then that danger has not yet been eliminated, but if one has willingly chosen to go to and "past the point of no return", which only they can decide thus not their school for them, (although the school will be watching) then in that case there is nothing left that can be turned...(to evil ways)
  13. Esoteric Cosmology

    nope, there are other schools that teach beyond changing realms...Buddhism is the young pup on the block.
  14. Days won?

    what does days won mean in profile?
  15. Your thoughts on Black Magic

    largely naive sounding people, I have not heard in your speculations of any experiences brought up dealing with evil, like most of us you will probably have to learn the hard way if at all? (btw. there is evil among us that has certain "Christians" praying for the success of demonic forces of violence, even putting out the idea of murdering those who stand in their way, if that is not a form of black magic what is?)
  16. Types of paths

    the path of the "sly man"
  17. There is no way to prevent suffering.

    I'd say desire is not to made into the boogey man, did not the the historic Buddha demonstrate that he was filled to brim with desire, desire for the freedom of enlightenment, (?) just as it so for all beings. (while chasing lesser desires in various ways are misapplications or mis-directions of fulfilling the true desire of said freedom and all that it entails)
  18. Kundalini gone the wrong direction, he ha...
  19. So getting on a high horse are we? Besides misuse or unqualified use of something will surely bite one in the ass, aka as backfire.
  20. don't know about that stone but I like the enneagram of perpetual motion/energy... See link: https://www.ouspenskytoday.org/wp/about-teaching-today/enneagram-in-motion/
  21. some might, helps them fly better, btw what about people with stub like tails?
  22. Have not looked it in scripture yet but here is something: (fyi i'm not a Buddhist but have studied some of it) Paraphrasing Zen Priest Kobutsu Shindo, the first thing the Buddha said when he awakened was, “Wonder of wonders, all beings are truly enlightened.” when death dies then sorrow and doubt also dies...
  23. partly agreed imo, and I'll say next is not a match in analogy but there is that saying about dropping ones raft after crossing a river, problem is that its unwise to drop the raft (or trustworthy teacher) in the middle of the river.
  24. I could dig up the text/sutta that I once read, then again Mark may have it on tips of his fingers for us
