Elysium

Dude seek a professional for the love of God. This forum can not cover up all of them. There is still time!

Jesus the song in the background is a little too much for me 😹

This sums up my couple months long experience on DaoBums 😂

Impressive resume you got there, welcome

Of course you are

Which one are you?

I would just go for "before you transitioned" if I was in that situation 🤔 Not giving advice, just thinking out loud.

I would worry more about the violent thoughts than the headache part. The latter is kinda natural in first tries to be fair. It could be a simple case of lack of mental stamina, or monkey mind doing its best to resist. Or simply you overdid it.

Kind of like Maslows Pyramid then? Where you get the survival needs first, and then stability and so on, self actualization coming last? Or am I missing the nuance in this?

Shall we never climb Maslows Pyramid in that case? No self-actualization, ever? Just stuck in basic needs? I am hungry, therefore I am, perhaps?

What in blue moon is going on here?

Very interesting indeed, what do you reckon these Sufi Masters do to get this zapping effect? Is it essentially the same routine as Daoists?

What does this even mean?

He reminded me of that Sleepy Blujay dude. Absolutely miserable both. Both seemed like solo cultivators too. The pattern is way too recognizable. I wonder if their cultivation is making them angry or were they like that to begin with 🤔

Excuse me for the lack of detail in the title, frankly didn't know what to put there. I am just observing that there is a gargantuan amount of energy wasted via thoughts and perhaps also movements that is not needed. The latter, I am not sure, but the former, certainly. Pretty sure there should be time left for mind to ruminate, or even monkey around, but 24/7? I believe thats counterproductive. But tell me if I am wrong, I am asking here for a reason. So the question arises, how do we get a laser focus? Aside from the obvious answers meditation and always trying to stay in control, can't think anything else.

You guys kid, but OP ascended the day he posted the message and left us alone to this incarnation of suffering

Welcome

One can only guess how much venom he injected to his students. Also what an immature brat.

Though this is becoming less and less of an unpopular opinion nowadays, iq tests really doesn't do much but measure a single part of intelligence, and its up to debate if it does a good job at it. Anyone bragging about their results aren't as bright as they think they are.

I should have made myself more clear. I am simply lost in thought many times a day. I have to ask how many hours I am awake in a day in first place. By control, I mean aware of whats going on at the very least. This has to be the only poem so far that I can understand cleanly 😁 thanks for the link!

I am guessing there is a fine line where one isn't attaching to these emotions unless willingly choosing to, and not a robot devoid of emotion. Doesn't seem easy but doable. This is the current excersise I am doing actually , saw it in Concentration by Mouni Sadhu. Could you expand on this a little?

I have that one! Love Martin, one of the best students of Franz Bardons work. Thank you for the additional material. I hear you, I won't try to force it and get an injury afterwards.

Hey Mark, how did you reach the Lotus position? I can barely do half-lotus and how good I do it is a matter of question. I did notice however, that meditation quality is increased with half-lotus compared to good old cross-legged.

So you are basically creating a new body with this 10 year long process?

Ramadan mubarak brother and best of luck.
