I guess, intrusive thoughts are, so called, "blockages of energy" or "movement of energy", they show disharmony in self (body, mind ?...). They show for a person what issues he have and where attention/intention should be directed. Depending on the response by person to these thoughts, the disharmony is affected.

Buddhist meditations for extinguishing the self
Indiken replied to Tom Beckett's topic in Buddhist Discussion
I think you can wait for thoughts to pass, or solve the issues which are causing these thoughts. -
Say we have a telephatic communication and we see in imagination that other person's image like we would see that other person when speaking in video call. Is this possible ? If so, given not deceitful communication, Could such image show how the person looks in reality, the same way we would be able to see with eyes; Or would it be just "mental interpretation" of that other person regarding the knowledge we have; Or else; What do you think ?

@free-sea-red-med Could you describe/expand on how it feels to have telephatic communication in comparison to non-telephatic communication? I have a feeling that this is not telepathy, it feels more like solving a problem how to describe a being in single word - name. A person sees other being and by intuition decides which "name" would best describe the totality of the other being. This may be immoral, to use a child with disabilities for experiments without consent. Interesting. I think dangers of telepathy have to be considered, there may be adverse entities who might try to use unsuspecting experimentator for theirs ends. My experience is that there might be sound/voice, thought/voice or image. But I am unable to discern "mine" from "foreign". I assume attacks can be made against person who thinks that all thoughts are only his own.

Hi, btw, you may want to reference other people with "@" symbol, like "@Indiken" --> @Indiken , because I did not see your post in my notifications, although you are addressing me. I just visited the thread and saw your post. Maybe, or I just imagine that I have. Who will admire me, if everyone will know what I know ? It still feels sweet. I think sweetness helps and bitterness don't. I am familiar with these six healing sounds, where it is more a type of exhalation than sound/singing, so I may call them "six exhalations": These "six exhalations" are not enough. Body posture/movement have to be included. Feel how your body desire to move to these "six exhalations" at the time of exhalation and after exhalation. Let the body move or move your body. Also, based on my experience. After certain intention, for example to walk longer than parts of your body desire, you might get a desire to do any of the "six exhalation" unintentionally. It seems intention is more important, because comes before "six exhalations". Oh boy, my learnings contain only several sentences. Could you describe how do you do "six healing sounds" and what body and emotional feelings and thoughts you have at the time when you do and shortly after ?

@steve Develop forum software so that certain user would be able to be blocked by moderators from threads, instead of closing whole thread. If topic is valid, then a new thread sooner or late may be created again.

Acupuncture is internal work by my definition. Oh those acupuncture guys... I think this is correct. Consider the possibility of retreating from activities which require you to be stronger than your weakest link can handle. Also, consider the possibility of doing what your body wants to do. When at home and in no need to behave like others, and body wants to take certain movement, try to take that movement. Also, take note how other body parts want to respond to that movement. Also, be careful, careful means to take as small step as possible and observe the effects, especially the bad ones. If there is bad one, it is time to stop, analyze and try other options. Good luck.

A plan what to do based on certain circumstances. I do not know.

Spontaneous is based on intention. At first people will be spontaneous because they cannot be unspontaneous, Later people will be spontaneous because there will be no need to be unspontaneous.

It may get kinda creepy if we will find that plants are also living beings.

a very simple question. Everyone is welcome and encouraged.

I watched one documentary in Youtube about children who have strange past life memories, there was one instance which I liked particularly: a child said to her mother, that the child was mother of her current mother in some previous incarnation. Like group of people incarnating together as a team. -
What do buddhists mean when they talk about "realms"
Indiken replied to Tianzun's topic in Buddhist Discussion
With all due respect, this looks like illusion to me and have subjective moral intention, I cannot hold this view, because it seems to be not practical. This is my first thought when reading. -

Indiken replied to Tianzun's topic in Buddhist Discussion
That is a nice story, but for ordinary person these concepts have to be connected to the concepts ordinary person understand. Otherwise, ordinary person can assume that reality is mystery. -
Teach yourself if you want something nice, but not superpowers, There is enough material in internet, books, people behaviour, every person everyday experience.

Indiken replied to Wilhelm's topic in General Discussion
Off-topic alert! I agree. I would call this intellectual generalization, thinking in stereotypes. Having dealt with clinical depression and read a few books about this topic, there is tendency for depressive person to mentally generalize and fatalize: for example, if a man was rejected by woman in a mocking way, he might assume that this will be the case with other women... But somehow I have a feeling that you are using the same cynicism now... -

Guilty me, most of the time. One of the issue is not a healthy body. There have to be some "body reserves" for a person to take that which he do not approve with calm. -

Indiken replied to Wilhelm's topic in General Discussion
With all due respect, I agree that people have to be respectful in a sense of not expressing anger and contempt even to things which they do not understand and which look silly to them, but... I am very ignorant on the topic, but it seems you are using folk (peasant ) concept of "cynicism" as something disrespectful. As far as I remember Cynicism is a school of philosophy: for example Wikipedia says: "For the Cynics, the purpose of life is to live in virtue, in agreement with nature. As reasoning creatures, people can gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which is natural for themselves, rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, and fame, and even flouting conventions openly and derisively in public.", which for me, the ignorant, seems very similar to Daoists (and other bums ). Also, in my opinion you are using the "acquired mind" here, I guess simply transferred from society. If you would stop and wait for emotions to pass, I arrive at the conclusion that "large buildings full of people singing dancing talking to an invisible old man in the sky." is a valid rational statement. I think it is similar to delusions, schizophrenia. But this is just a tiny piece of the puzzle. They have their motives and it seems not all understand. It seems I am guilty of this also. -
