How do you know if you have momentarily open the 3rd eye? What kind of experiences would validate that the 3rd eye was opened for a period of time. The reason I ask is, I had a weird experience. Its usually after sleeping in the morning. This morning, I looked into my 3rd eye or what I thought was the 3rd eye. It was like tunnel vision, shaped like an eye. Everything outside the eye border was dark, but inside I saw beautiful colors moving about. It was like creatures swimming or floating about zipping from one direction to the next. At first I was in ah, thinking this is cool, just watching the events. It wasn't very clear at first. Then I focused harder to look and the eye opened up and everything was crystal clear. The images were very vibrant and colorful. I looked at what looked like colorful vibrant fish swimming about and it almost appeared like they saw me too. After about a few minutes of this, the eye closed. I tried to open it up, but couldn't, then I just opened my eyes. I don't think this was a dream, as it was so crystal clear and just in the 3rd eye area. Maybe I'm wrong. Lucid dreaming? I had a dream before this event and I remember that also, but feels different.

Does anybody know whether these are safe? I just bought a kindle to read my e-books and was not sure if the 3g network is safe? There was a dutch study that showed people experienced headaches and nausea, tingling. Myself, felt tingling and weird sensations in my body. Anybody else out there with an amazon kindle? I think I may be returning my kindle...

Meditation Method: How to Achieve the State of One Mind:

"Chan and Zen Teaching " - Lu Kuan Yu (Charles Luk)

if i was to pick 'ism' yes this would be mine it is the most complete system. this is what bodhidarma taught and chan is his baby bodhidarma is descendant of sakamuni. hui neng was last transmitter. good luck

all for corporate profits and greed.

I talked to him awhile back and he sent this response: "No, my friend, you do not bother my meditations. Actually, it´s been almost weeks that I was not medtitating as much as I do usually. I am in the capital of bolivia, a city, in the house of my friend. He asked me to help him to make alcoholic drinks like vodka and rom and others - he has his enterprise and I knew him from before. But I´m looking forward to go back to the jungle, the mountains because I miss time with myself. Why do I choose to continue on this plane while I can leave it? It´s not a question that´s easy to answer. Actually, this name I have now - Dolama - could be the answer. Dolama is tibetan diety, a feminie aspect of buddha, tara - the mother of compassion. I could have left for the caves in the himalayas. I was offered a lama name - I could have stayed in tibetan monasteries. I could simply leave this world, cease to exist here and simply go. Not to another world - I do not need other worlds. To me all the worlds are the same now. You are right ..., this one is really limitated and there are worlds that are full of bliss, friendship and freedom, sun.... but I came from there. I chose to be born in this world to uplift consciousness of human beings. I was not so happy to be born here knowing that this world is no fun at all - people are blind and ignorant, there´s so many nonsence like laws and states, countries, all the limitations. All you can do and not, all you can be and not. I wasn´t very happy when I chose to be born here. I did it more of responsibility. There are souls that are born here to teach and to help humanity to transcend but it is a sacrifice - it´s like going to live in a tribe of monkeys. This is what my memories tell me. Memories of my past, memories of my past lives and experiences. But now I do not belong to those memories anymore. I can simply go. Not return to the places I visited before - I do not need other worlds, I do not need other experiences. I can simply go. Dissolve, leave my individuality, leave my soul or spirit. Simply merge with the all and be. But it happens that you are searching for this freedom, this answer, this reality or enlightenment for lifetimes, milions of lifetimes. And even more because there´s no such thing as time. Aeons of experiences you are searching your way out of your prison. And you are so mad in your search that you cannot see the doors that are right here. But... when you wake up, you find the doors open you can go. You are happy, you are free. You say ¨now I will go¨ but a strange feeling comes to you. You realize that you´ve been here, in this cell for such a long time. And now you can go. You think to yourself ¨I´ve been here for so long that I cannot even remember, now I can go. But... let me stay for 5 minutes more - now that I can go, now that I am free, my search had finished - I´m happy. There´s no hurry to run from this prison. At the same time I see other beings, other souls that are still searching for the way out. Okay, I know they will not listen to me - I can point them the doors out but they will not be able to leave yet. But... I will stay here for awhile. I will simply see those people living their lives and I will be among them even though I do not belong here anymore - I´m not a slave anymore. I will be like a king undercover - I will simply stay here for a few moments. Now that I´ve found the doors and I can go and I know I will never come back why not stay with those people I´ve known for lifetimes and lifetimes? Just for awhile and when I´m fed up I will go. YOu realize your freedom and you become free even though you decide to continue for awhile in this world. You still have your body and this body is subject to laws of this world and people still can kill you but, in fact, you are not the body anymore - it´s just your vehicle. So, while to the eyes of the other people you look like a ordinary mortal, you know your freedom, you do not have limitations. with rearlization indivitual ceases to exist. He becomes all and at the same time nothing. Entire universe, entire existence - at the same time nothing. Not being indivitual ¨I¨ anymore he is free. He becomes love itself, life itself, reality and illusion itself. So this is why I am still here. At the same time I´m not here anymore. I do not belong here. People do not see that but I do not care about it - I simply move, smile and there´s nothing more for me, nothing to gain, to expect, nothing to loose. I am and at the same time I am not. simply being. The essence so these are my spontaneous words my brother dolama" You choose To Live - Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/user/Hermit1yoga#p/u/99/qy4UjWFsRQc You choose To Live - Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/user/Hermit1yoga#p/u/98/zi4KgikmvHs

I had an experience that turned out to be almost, i'm not sure but almost had some bad consequences. I found myself in what I suspect was the other realm or spirit realm that dwag talks about. I could walk around in it. But somehow I ended up slipping out of the state. Once out, I tried to get back in. I was able to get back in, but for some reason, I could not move around in that realm as I wanted. Through struggling I ended up out again. Basically, at the time I was thinking, cool I"m in a different realm, I wonder if I can have my fantansies come true by acting out them here, like pick up a woman and have sexual relations with her to test what was happening. That never happened because I came out of the state. So tried again to get back into that state. The next time I tried, my body went into a seizure. I was spirit in my body watching my body twitch and go into seizure. As I was watching, I was going, oops I think I wasn't supposed to do that. I was still in some trance state when this happened. Eventually I came out of it completely. I"m still ok, but man, I was literally watching or experiencing my body twitching or blockages. Can't really explain it.

I"m not sure it is possible for most people. Its probably possible to have a major awakening,but to obtain that level, which is the hightest, it must be part of your karma. Even Sakyamuni buddha did not obtain that level, as well as others. They had special abilities, but never got to that level.

This article has too many areas with problems. It does not identify what type of orange juice in what state is served. 1. Orange Juice that is processed w/added fructose 2. Organic Non-processed, Fresh squeezed, not-altered. 3. Fresh oranges, you peel Most likely this research is based on orange juice off of the shelf which is full of fructose. Companies try to make as much orange juice as possible by adding fructose. For example, they can take 1 orange and squeeze all the juice out. Normally when you do this, you only get 1 glass of juice or less. But what they do to maximize profits is to take that 1 orange and its contents and add sugar to it, plus water. So instead of getting 100% pure orange juice you only really get 5% orange juice, 95% water, and a shit load of sugar. Its not the natural orange that is bad, its always the business practises that are bad. They know they are screwing people over for profit, but they really don't care, because they all are still diluted themselves.

I believe the buddhas teaching has validity. The problem is not his original teaching, its the number of sects that are teaching inaccurate information and customizing it, thus, the foreseeing that buddhism will also disappear. There are too many sects and too many vehicles. These days, you even find buddhist sects arguing with each other. When another buddha comes around after the decline of buddhism, he may not call it the dharma. Why because the language may be different? It may be called in some different because the dominant language will be different or the buddhas spoken language is no longer sanskrit. Buddhism, Dharma, Sangha, are all labels we have assigned to this time. Even tho the labels will change, the hidden message remains the same. This is why the chinese have Dharma in chinese, the tibetans have it in tibetan. From what I heard, it is not the achieved master who can not teach, but it is because he chooses not to, or not part of his mission. Some who incarnate here have the mission to teach others. I wouldn't say they do not have the capacity to teach. When you have achieved transformational bodies and cultivated to a point where even the body no longer remains, if that is not a buddha or higher, I'll shit my pants. According to the buddha sutras, many do not even transform their bodies to light, but just leave. What about those that do transform their bodies to light. This means they are even higher than the buddha you speak of. In china, there are some who have obtained these levels already. Its not the word that counts. Its the message or meaning behind the word. Not only that, but again, by creating a word for it, you have already limited the thing that cannot really be defined at all, which is absolute. You can tell someone to "Fuck off", but if you say it in a good way or joking way, its still good dharma. haha!

He is one of the first western students. Does not mean he is one of the top students. There are many chinese descent who have already obtained level 4 with John Chang. Chang will not teach you if you are not chinese beyond level 2. I have talked to Jim myself. He is frustrated he has not gone further along the path. Also, Chang is no longer teaching. He has senior students teaching now and have taken his place. He is focusing on his business and other family things I guess, from what I hear.

You've only labeled the triple gem buddhism. He had to call it something. Before the buddha, when there was no buddhism, what would you have called it then? The guidance of the triple gem could have been called something else. Before christ, when there was no label of christ consciousness, what then? Each time period has its new avatars and they all call it something else. Someday, buddhism will disappear, taoism will disappear, christ consciousness will disappear, krishna teaching will disappear, and something else will take its place.

I agree, the Tao should not be named. To name it is to give it limitations and a label. Its boundless. Lao Tzu only named it that because he didn't know what to call it. To say you are this, and that, is just wrong. To say you are a buddhist or a Taoist is no different from saying I am black and you are white. If you understand the teachings, you will know all is the same. Forms are non-existent. There is only the void and the void is not void.

When your true nature and natural purity arises, you will naturally be happy. You will not need external objects to make you happy. This is true happiness and not up and down happiness. This is part of the being complete. When you see your original face, the question of your purpose will then be answered.

If I'm correct, Qi is also referred to as "Prajna" or "wisdom". Some modern scientists have called it Orgon, those that have no buddhist or Daoist understanding. Every culture has encountered it, and each culture has there own term for it.

I think the purpose is to make yourself complete. When you do that you will realize your true nature and your natural purity. With that, I think there will no longer be a need to return. Following the ways of Krishna, Dao, Buddha, and christ consciousness will lead you there.

I"m curious which regions people are living in? I know that in southern california, LA area, the yang energy is very strong. Since I have been down here, I have started to get Heat rashes break out on my body. When I left this area to go to Kunming, China where the elevation is 2000 meters, my rashes slowly started to disappear. Since returning to Los Angeles, CA my heat rashes are coming back. It really sucks. I might have to get out of here for good. I would imagine many of you are living in colder or cooler climates.

I'm actually quite inspired after seeing this. I thought about biking cross state borders or walking, but this couple makes my idea a joke.

The following is an excerpt from "A Dweller on Two Planets, or Dividing of the way" - from 1884 (Chapter IV) By Phylos The Tibetan "AXTE INCAL, AXTUCE MUN." (TO KNOW GOD IS TO KNOW ALL WORLDS WHATEVER" "In their consideration of natural laws the philosophers of Poseid had come to the conclusive hypothesis and working theory that the material universe was not a complex entity, but in its primality extremely simple. The glorious truth, 'Incal Malixetho,' was clear to them, that is, that 'Incal(God) is immanent in Nature.' To this they appended,-'Axte Incal, Axtuce mun,'-'To know God is to know all worlds whatever.' AFter centuries of experimentations, recording of phenomena, deductions, analysing and sytnthesizing, these students had arrived at the final proposition that the universe - not here dwelling on their wondrous astronomical knowledge - was, with all its varied phenomena, created and continously kept in operation by two primal force-principles. Briefly stated, these basic facts were that matter and dynamic energy (which were Incal made externally manifast) could readily account for all things else. This conception held that only one Substance existed, and but One Energy, the one being Incal externalized, and the other His Life in action in His Body. This One Substance assumed many forms under the action of variant degrees of dynamic force. Because it was the basic principle of all natural, and all psychic, but not of spiritual phenomena, allow here a postulate with which not a few of my friends will find themselves at least partially familiar, perhaps wholly so. Commencing with dynamic energy as first sensibly manifest in the example furnished by simple vibrations, the Poseid position may be outlined as follows: A very low rate of vibration may be felt; an increase of rate heard. For example, first we feel the pulsing of a harp-string, and then if the rate of vibration be increased we hear its sound. But substances of other sorts, able to endure greater vibratory impulses, manifest under more intense action - following sound, first heat, then light. Now again, light varies in color. The first color produced is red, and thence, by a constantly augmentation vibratile energy, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo, violet - each spectrumband being due to an exact and definite increase in the number of vibrations. Succeeding the violet, further augmentation gives pure white, more gives a gray, then more extenguishes light, replacing it with electricity, and so on through an ever increasing voltage until the realm of vital or psychic-force is attained. This may truly be regarded as going inward from those manifestations of nature, of Incal or God, or the Creator, which are external; as going toward the internal from externality. A brief study will show thee that the laws of the physical world continue inward to their spiritual source; that they are , truly, but prolongations the one of the other. But, ere entering into the realm of vibration, whose doorkeeper is sound, we find that the One Substance vibrates in viriant, but definite dynamic degree, and that thence arise each and all of the diverse forms of matter; in short, the difference between any given substances, as gold and silver, iron and lead, sugar and sand, is not one of matter, but of dynamic degree solely. In this dynamic affection the degree is no loose limitation, for if the vibratile rate be a shade variant - lower or higher than in way special material which may be under notice - the variation will be different in appearance and in its chemical nature; thus to proper substantial entities definite if enormous vibration per second may be imparted and the resulting substance (for light is substantial) is , say, red light, but if one-eighth greater it will be orange, and if more or less, then the resultant must inevitably be a reddish orange, or a yellowish, respectively... ...So mightest thou go on to the discovery soon to the world of science, that light, all light, of the sun, or from any source, can be made to yield sound;upon this discovery hinge some of the most astounding inventions that thine age hath even dreamed of in its visions... ...Through the wisdom of Atlantis found it possible to adjust weight (positiveness) to lack of weight (negativeless) so evenly that "no-tug-a-war" was manifest. It meant aerial navigation without wings or unwieldly gas-resevoirs, through taking advantage of propulsion through levitation in overmatching strength to the attraction of gravitation... ok... buy the book or check it out at the library, tired of typing! its worth the read. i'm not at all affiliated with the book.

who cares what jesus was... he could be black, brown, green for all I care. what matters is he existed and he taught the way. He was the son of god, but so is everyone. Its reported buddha was anglo? just kidding... I have no clue and don't care. Focus on what is taught, not who was teaching. There are many people out there that are fully enlightened, but will never be known in public, because they choose not to reveal their nature.

This is a very good documentary. Soon, we will have them in our homes. http://dreams.honda.com/#/video_wi

I'm curious to know what some of you think about Bashar's teaching and the Buddha's teaching. Bashar says to following the path of least resistance and the path of greatest joy. Buddha also said we are trapped here like fish caught in a net, according to the teachings and that we must work to get out of the samsara. To me, what bashar says and what the buddha taught really do not go together. I'm not really a buddhist or near enligthenment, but I try to understand buddha's teaching to try to put every major teaching into perspective. Bashar says we are here on our own choice, and we keep choosing to come back. I think even OSHO said this. However, the buddha says it is not our choice, but we are carried by our karma winds. Has anyone thought about this, or am I just thinking too much? You can youtube bashar if you haven't seen him. The guy Daryl has been channeling him since 1983. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY2hxyACQJ8
