  1. This person I know spends most of his time there.. So far he is unable to fly and not much improvement in his personality.
  2. If you think that is pricey, then sign up for the yogic flying course in Fairfield Iowa the home of Maharishi University of Management. Other siddhi programs are offered. I know someone who blows 25,000 at a time for such courses at this school.
  3. What are you listening to?

  4. What are you listening to?

    I first heard this piece before a Robert Plant concert a number of years ago.
  5. What are you listening to?

    Southern blues at it's finest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ3G_GUKUOE
  6. What is wisdom in Dzogchen ?

    Cut/paste and various arguments posted here have not answered the OP's questions. Most of these arguments are untenable.
  7. What is wisdom in Dzogchen ?

    Neo Advaitans are somehow lesser in their realization than you? That makes you an elitist does it not?
  8. What is wisdom in Dzogchen ?

    I agree. I detest the use of the term ignorant. I have stated this misuse many times to several Buddhists on this forum. Just more elitist nonsense.
  9. What is wisdom in Dzogchen ?

    Excellent remarks! I argued with several Buddhists on this site for years and not one was able to offer a satisfactory explanation to the questions you are posing. Buddhists are trapped in absolutist anthropocentric ideology. Buddhists fall back on 'non being' and conveniently ignore the rest of the Hegelian dialectic; 'being, not being and becoming'.
  10. Watched this series back in 1974 after it was released. All thirteen parts are on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioiP47bJ5d4&list=PLYzacqIOovj2JU-qOCEm5rmPa9QWS9lHD
  11. What is wisdom in Dzogchen ?

    "Truly are"? I don't think that answers the question. Practical examples would be useful.
  12. I use it every night. Bought Wave 1-4 years ago and now getting back to it. Also I use the isochronic tones from Transparent Corp. The gamma wave is awesome! http://www.transparentcorp.com
  13. Focus 10 is very deep relaxation while staying awake. What you are experiencing is just a reaction to a state you are not familiar with. Over time, that "snapping back" will no longer be an issue.
  14. I was hoping we would have the photos of the points by now.
  15. I imagine that the points are in Wang Liping's book.
  16. What are you reading right now?

    Just started this tonight. 'Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted Totalitarianism'. A bit depressing, but well worth reading. http://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Incorporated-Managed-Inverted-Totalitarianism-ebook/dp/B005DXON3Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1399871492&sr=1-1&keywords=sheldon+wolin
  17. Where did you acquire this info? Looking forward to seeing the points.
  18. Dark Chocolate

    Anything over 60% cacao content is what I like.
  19. Dark Chocolate

    Here is my favorite. Unfortunately, Whole Foods was the only store in town that carried it. Not anymore. http://www.scharffenberger.com
  20. Dark Chocolate

    I am getting ready to indulge in a large chunk of chocolate right now. Can't go a day without it!
  21. Just found this out, yet the DEA and other agencies are claiming there is no medical benefit to cannabis. Ridiculous! http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6630507.PN.&OS=PN/6630507&RS=PN/6630507
  22. One of the patent holders and researcher. http://www.mauriziogrimaldi.net http://www.mauriziogrimaldi.net/patents.html
  23. Here is an example of the so called 'Devil's Interval', 'diabolus in musica', tritone, or flatted fifth. Haven't we had enough superstition that was created by the Roman Church? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4952646.stm
