Standing ready by the gate and door of the Mysterious Female, observe life and death. This is knowing the pivot of change. It is not only in mystical experience. When one can be still, one can witness return in everyday ordinary cycles of yin and yang. When one sees the Mysterious Female, one attains the power of the center. Observing stillness and movement, one is not subject to change. This is because the Mysterious Female is the locus of change where the physical and psychological elements do not adhere; where change originates; where adepts steal potential. When you see the the Mysterious Female and attain the pivot of creation, you attain it forever. When you stand ready by the gate and door of the aperture of the Mysterious Female, you actually see the world go sailing on by through its aperture as if caught by the power of its own momentum like a careening astronaut projecting out into the vast void of space. It is kind of sad, in a way. But you're not! hahahahhahahhaaa!!!❤❤❤

hi sinansencer, The tv analogy isn't working for me. No one is in control of the situation (unless you yourself are directing others with purposeful intent). My point is that you just find out what happened in the end, that's all; but unless you do not act arbitrarily, there is no way to find out what would have happened had you not interfered with self-reflective habit energy. So for me, in the beginning, my motivation to not act arbitrarily was to actually find out what happened in a given situation without my habitual selfish intent interfering with spontaneous evolution. it wasn't because I wanted to practice alchemy— I just wanted to be free from my actions and others' responses. That was before I'd stumbled onto spiritual alchemy even though I'd already begun to practice it. I was just sick and tired of my habitual behavior spoiling natural inherent goodness and influencing situations negatively— so I just stopped acting with habit-energy. It's not about change or even changing (it). It isn't even about not going along with changes. That's up to you. But whether you do go along with changes or don't, you do it or don't do it consciously. My point is that it is totally about not going along with your own habit energy, at first. When not going along with habit energy becomes the norm, you naturally don't even arouse feelings to forget. You truly don't know random or self-reflective thoughts— it's not that you don't know what's going on in the situation. You are not controlling anything. You arrive at not having anything to control, therefore you have no way to go out of control. So that's what the meaning of "nothing to loose" really is. And yes, as Janis Joplin sings, that's what "freedom is". I was being totally facetious before about wuwei (non-doing doing)— if you want to get to the bottom of wuwei, study the 25th hexagram for starters, then realize that spontaneous action is hinged on spontaneous stillness. Neither active or still, not stuck on either. Free from thought before the first thought. This is Bankei's Unborn mind. Resting in the "I am" is formal meditation. When you get to "telling yourself", you're dead meat, huh! Just note the teller's appearance and resume your rest in the "I am". As far as "Is it as simple as that?" goes …don't know.

Unfortunately, it has once again become necessary to put Jeff on my ignore list~ only this time, not because I care. In order to shed some light for beginning students to guide them into the right path because they may not know how …or even what real practice is, and fail to consumate the task of a student by settling into false imaginings about the tao; because I see them falling into random deceptions by habitual attachment to intellect and temperament and fooling themselves and others, only to grow old without development: Students should hasten to drop their illusions and thoroughly investigate principle and meaning to arrive at the correct psychological posture to enter the gradual path of self-refinement. When you empty the mind of self-satisfaction in spurious exercises and philosophical interpretations of even authentic teaching, you can fill the belly with real knowledge.

It should be happening, but ya never know… I haven't heard anything about it from viator for a few days. Be sure to contact the mods, if you havent— they need to hear if people want it to happen. I just wanna nice place to put all my junk! hahaha!!❤❤

If your effort is weak, real wondering will not occur and false imagining will be hard to expel. If you want to achieve early fulfillment, brandish the precious sword given by the mind king and march right ahead: if you meet Buddhas, kill the Buddhas; if you meet Zen masters, kill Zen masters; if you meet your parents, kill your parents; if you meet the masses of living beings, kill the masses of living beings. Totally massacre everything animate and inanimate, all forms and appearances, mountains, rivers, and earth, all times and places, good and bad, right and wrong, plus anything else that appears and disappears, coming and going through the doors of the six senses and the alleys of the seven consciousnesses. Having killed it all completely, when you turn a flip and appear in the realm of cosmic space, you can be called a real hero. When you get to this point, you will not doubt that Buddhas and sentient beings, enlightenment and affliction, samsara and nirvana, heaven and hell, are all illusions. In Zen study, you should not slack off for an instant. Alerting your vital spirit as you breathe out and in, watching your step as you walk forth and back, be as if you were galloping on a single horse into an opposing army of a million troops, armed with a single sword. …from Man-an's (17th century) Elementary Talk on Zen

hey Green~ the Boss said we're packing up the Contributed Articles section (cause I always say "this isn't the discussion section" when people want to discuss opinions which have nothing to do with my "contribution"). So they said, "where do ya want us to put all yer junk?" haha!! So i says, "how come ya don't has a spiritual alchemy forum without all that stoopid energy-work crap? that's not my deal!" So they think maybe what I do is a little different than the neidan+gong traditions, which is true. I hope they decide to have a Complete Reality section for …the time being anyway.❤
-
Ya, the big mystery about what's happening is that I don't know~ so it is that a lack of preconception by virtue of receptive innocence allows the event to enter open aware potential in oneself simply due to the fact that reality doesn't know too (even while an external driving element is intending). Alchemy calls this matching creation with potential. When karmic momentum meets openness, its potential is absorbed. Alchemy calls this stealing potential. I don't focus at all. Continuous not-focussing is subtle concentration meditation all day. Not-focussing is locking-up potential in recondite silence unbeknownst to oneself and others, not leaking so much as a spark of intellectualism. This is all transcending endless cycles of yin convergence in terms of the naturally occuring firing process. Here one masters the 3rd and 4th hexagrams. Difficulty comes before and innocent darkness follows in withdrawal of the fire when the killing energy of polluted yin arises in every situation's evolution. One shuts-up inside and out for a period. In terms of the Virtue of the Receptive, when nothing inside goes out and nothing outside comes in, that's sealed up tight.

It was an accident, mr Judo… I'd never googled my name before and when I did, that's when I found out all those things were there!!

ta-tah!!❤ Merciiiii, dr No!!

Even if the proposed subforum doesn't happen and my articles are dispersed wherever, you should be able to find them in one place if you google Lezboyenne.

I wrote this for viator's introduction to the CRD subforum and had to whittle it down to 43 words!! Eeeeee!!❤ A Topical Guideline for Complete Reality Discussion The essence of spiritual immortality is working with one's own immaterial medicines of fire and water in the furnace and crucible of the real human body's own heaven and earth which has no location. So if it involves deliberate manipulation of anything created whether it be self, other, mind, body, inside or outside, physical or subtle; this is not it. Adapting impersonally to reality is it. It should go without saying that all talk of energy-work regardless of its purported tradition of origination, should be discussed in the other subforums— otherwise, what is the point of having a section for the discussion of nonpsychological spiritual immortalism as described and practiced by the schools that have kept the knowledge of the mysteries of perception and selfless wonder alive? Traditionally, energy work was only a recourse for the extremely elderly, as practiced by the southern branch of the Complete Reality school who may have needed to graft vitality in order to have the energy to function at the levels required of Complete Reality praxis. The fact of the matter is that 100% of all energy-work done by bums is not relevant to discussion because all energy-events are spontaneous in Complete Reality praxis. Even joining the two things in the midst of actual affairs is accomplished spontaneously. If energy-work must be discussed, it is not Complete Reality Practice, so please post these on the other subforums. Energy-work is auxiliary practice, a spin-off, and not the main thing. The mantra of Complete Reality practice is "refine the self and await the time". Posts should be written by those concerned with developing, defining and refining the practice of self-refinement in actual events because this is precisely when one takes over creation and steals potential— the secrets of "subtle operation". It is none other than Lao Tzu's "empty the mind and fill the belly". When one steals potential and secrets it away in recondite silence beyond intellectualism, spiritual evolution occurs as naturally as digesting food— that is, without deliberating about it. Whatever happens in everyday ordinary events is the matrix of creation. Even flying luminous bodies swirling about you and hovering in stillness before entering your physical body's organs with a distinct fizz, are just this phenomenal pearl of creation not worth paying attention to. Fixations on these kinds of things should be gotten rid of entirely. Spiritual alchemy uses what is not seen by not using what is seen. By not using what is seen, one automatically is using what is not seen. By not speculating in outcomes and entertaining ramifications of multifarious affairs, one simply goes along with events in terms of their unavoidability. This is how one gives of oneself freely and responds to people without confusion. It will be unavoidable that bums will fixate on the spontaneous energy thing that is experienced without effort or deliberate intent as a part of the amassing of the medicines of fire and water. Just remember that all ordinary and extraordinary, benign and terrifying phenomena are just evidence of self and other which is to be forgotten as soon as it occurs. Spiritual alchemy is the process of experiencing the totality of yourself in and out of time without dwelling on the contents of mind, however one's experience may manifest in terms of temporal or absolute. It is the joining without differentiation of delusion and enlightened qualities, temporal and absolute which is itself complete reality~ hence, the name of this tradition. Ultimately, one discovers that fascination is itself of no account and one simply steps over the whole of creation~ eternity itself, and there is only the path of prior illuminates partaking of potential inherent in all being without singling out before or after, self and other, movement or stillness. So the core of Complete Reality study is the matter of coming to terms with the Causeless. Buddhism calls this the matter of life and death. It is the crux of nonorigination. The most appropriate material for posting in this subforum is what pertains to serious study, elucidation and embodiment of the intent of the classic alchemical manuals, esoteric Tao Te Ching and I Ching, the pristine transmission of the Secret of the Golden Flower translated by Thomas Cleary and the Caodong Chan/ Soto Zen classics since Bodhidharma came to China and Dogen returned to Japan that dispense with energy-work and recreational philosophical speculation. Complete Reality praxis is discovery and entry into subtle operation in selfless immaterial aware potential; i.e., mind itself directly. Why? To be forever free from the cloying viscitudes following creation while living in their midst; aware of the totality of oneself.

Non!! Vous said you wouldn't tell ANYBODY, adept!! ahhahahhahaa!!!❤❤
-
hi❤ This is the teachings itself. I discover reality with the same senses you do. Without speculating, knowledge is immediate and does not involve thinking. Taking over creation and stealing potential is how i apply it.
-
hi chris~ It is not the spontaneous adaption! heehee!!❤ It's not a thing at all. You adapt to the situation yourself in terms of the situation's inherent potential without it being about you. The fact of the matter is, in the beginning, it IS you. But no one else knows this. You go along with the situation as such, but you put yourself in the others' shoes and so then you don't know too. There is nothing to do except see what happens. This is the secret of nothing to know and one of the ways of non-doing. Bodhidharma simply said, "Don't know." When you don't know from within spontaneous adaption to ordinary events, you activate selfless nonpsychological awareness. It's your own mind, just not the habitual use of it. This is your ordinary unborn mind; awake, aware and nondwelling before the first thought. It really is you without thinking habitually, that's all. Eventually, this becomes as natural as delusion. The only difference between an enlightening being and an ignoramus is that an enlightening being knows he's deluded. it is a very peculiar affair. The way opens up and one enters reality naturally. Just wait by the door of change and adapt to the inevitable junctures inherent in every situation. This is knowing the pivot of creation. This is selflessly adapting to the situation. It is the meaning of making the other host and you be the guest. This is also stealing potential, no different than going along with the inconceivable events that take place spontaneously inside your body. Just go along and withdraw the fire when you reach sufficiency. The tao makes no distinctions. Complete Reality has never decided anything EVER. Just wait by the door and be ready without eagerness or complacency. ed note: bold and italicize a couple lines

sinasencer~ if my texts are confusing, just study the original alchemical texts, the TTC, the I Ching and the entire buddhist and taoist canons for 20~30~ 40~50 years with the proper frame of mind. It's all the same thing. It is not buddhist or taoist or anything else. It is the homeland of nothing whatsoever. When you can see through situations and respond to phenomena without going along with their characteristics, you are as empty as a boat floating through the reeds~ naturally, you do not experience the momentum of the boat, you just go along without engendering views and feelings. The momentum is inherent in the situation itself; it is the situation itself. Momentum is karmic whether you feel it or not. So this is the selfless adaption to created evolution that is neither moving or still enjoyed by enlightening beings. Enlightening being is like going along with the momentum of the situation without having any mass yourself. You adapt freely outside of convention. Wuwei is something even Marblehead doesn't know. It means absolutely nothing to me~ hahahhahahhaa!!❤ Neither temporal nor absolute, resting in the pivot, nothing is done yet reality is complete. ed note: typo in last sentence …er what was the last sentence, somewhere above the last quote!

The natural state of sufficiency is reached according to the time. I don't know what happens too. When thinking afterwards, this is failing to store potential away in secrecy without the slightest spark of intellectualism. You see, the habit energy of ego-reflection is the thought that leaks away the potential you have just gained spontaneously. This is precisely what to avoid. Don't let so much as a spark leak out. In terms of alchemy, this is not withdrawing the fire, so the forgoing achievement goes to waste. But it will happen again. The firing process works on many levels in both the microcosm and the macrocosm, inner and outer, self and other. There are cycles of firing inside cycles of firing. There are 30,000 intervals according to one text. One slip and there is a great loss. Do not get caught up in the energy thing. Just let that happen when it happens~ otherwise you'll just ruin it. Do not seek to activate the spontaneous events. I cannot stress this enough. Just let it go and don't be afraid of forgetting about it totally.

A bum PM'd about Complete Reality praxis, so I have included it here. Taoism is in fact a process of undoing and precisely as you have described it is experiential and not at all a matter of intellectual understanding. Ego eventually ceases its charade as identity of the individual and has functional administration of temporal affairs in service of impersonal objective awareness. It's like intuition, only less mysterious. I take the Taoist classics as derivative of the primal experience of unified awareness, descriptive of the processes reverting to that recondite aspect of mind and the experiential fruition of its application in everyday ordinary affairs. I view the Tao Te Ching as a guidebook for wizards and the I Ching as a catalog of times. My range of exploration is the nature of perception and have discovered that awareness itself is uncreated, impersonal and nonpsychological. One of the most ancient classics of the taoist canon is the Yin Convergence Classic. It is very short. It states,"People know the spirit as psychological, they do not know why the nonpsychological is spiritual." The nonpsychological nature of aware being is the source of spiritual activity in the world as it is possible to function on its terms in the midst of everyday ordinary affairs, enabling one to transcend the cloying aspect of karmic conditioned evolution while operating from within the created by virtue of its inherent enlightening potential. This is what spiritual alchemy is in terms of practice. This is the practice and expression of Complete Reality taoism. Its present form is from about CE 1200, but its source-works still in the taoist canon date from 2000 years ago and older. It claims that its founder was a student of Lao Tzu, but this stuff is really many thousands of years old. These mind-teachings are as old as mind study, which is supremely ancient. There might be a new discussion section in the taoist forum named after this ancient alchemical school soon. The Articles section is going away and all my writings from the last four years will go to this new section (if it really comes to be). It is no different than any of the authentic teachings really. I have just found it effective. I also operate within the Chan (Caodong/Soto) tradition as well. No tradition has a name for reality. The Complete Reality tradition has two aspects: the Science of Life and the Science of Essence. They become the same and revert to the nonoriginated aware nature within the human body which has no location. Ultimately it is just a matter of using phenomena to refine the self instead of using it to gratify the self. This is the pivot of creation. Worldlings follow the normal flow and enlightening beings go in reverse. The tao is a practice and a way of Return. The path becomes profound. One discovers something which has never begun which has always resided within oneself. This is immortality.

Oh the irony of reverse psychology! You hurt my nails, dear~ not my feelings. BTW, when you overcome all your obstacles~ is that before or after your overcome your self, hmmmmm? Do let me know when that happens❤
-
Shut the ufck up Jeff. Thanks.

God, tell me about it, haha! We use quotes around here. They serve us. But I gotta tell ya… NO ONE STEPS BEYOND MIND. Polluted killing energy is for those who see it. You have yet to fathom your own mind, Jeff. The thread-starter is the subtle function within unity of conventional and absolute. It is not for you to agree or not. This is not an opinion, nor is it an interpretation. If you don't already see and enact this, it is beyond your ken at this time. THIS IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION— I WROTE THE BOOK. I want you to stop making such useful contributions. Why? You cannot make use of your own mind to see through anything. How could you possibly be able to determine what is useful? It also screws up what I'm trying to say in my own words (as if that weren't difficult enough). I really don't need or want your help, ok?❤ It makes me try to act nice especially to you and I don't want to nor should I have to. Don't try to syphon off a little bit of emotional energy from me. Realize your place and avoid the temptation to contribute, if you must say something to save yourself, PM me. Generally, when I write a piece, it does not need additional contributions from anyone~ especially from people who have yet to break through their own karmic barriers. If you must contribute useful additions to my articles, please feel free to actually conceive and write original material, hmmm? And them maybe start contributing your own material to the articles section. Not just posting anything you please there, but actually writing in depth reports of profound ineffability. If you cannot conceive and write original material, maybe that says something about your current knowledge and experience. Please work on this. Otherwise, I totally get your point about naming names~ and as I stated, we don't play that game on my threads!! If a quote dovetails with what you are already saying— don't be shy. Ooh~ now I need a manicure …and it's all your fault, Jeff❤
-
I noticed that Jeff had quoted that phrase. We don't quibble about that on my threads~ I myself don't bother to do so on others' threads because not only do I expect people to know the sources of attributable statements from decades of absorption in the Classics, but because I own them. My threads are not scholarly venues~ they are for those who would enter the source of the life and breath of the buddhist and taoist canons without regard for teachers, teachings and traditions. Mind is not defined by any wisdom tradition. —but thanks anyway, TI… I can totally appreciate your concern❤
-
Thank you, CT and Jeff, for working through this passage. I have read through it a few times more and still didn't change anything. The term stepping over eternity denotes the subtle function of enlightening being wherein one passes through situations by the power of potential inherent in the situation itself without partaking in the energy of karma even as one deals with characteristics of phenomena. The reason I ask you, Jeff, to bore deeper, is that there is no avoiding the reality of polluted killing energy in the midst of affairs if one is going to take over creation and practice the Great Vehicle of Sages and Buddhas in the midst of ordinary situations. In terms of the absolute, what you spoke of is appropriate. But what I have brought up here not only transcends conditioned created cycles of karmic yin and yang, it fuses absolute and temporal in one living liquid pearl outside of creation where one assesses primordial chaos in a single turn. In case Jeff finds my florid style over the top, i will say this… Primordial chaos is presence itself come to life without intermediary in ordinary affairs: there has never been another time, place, or person. Assessing chaos in a single turn Ruthless compassion does not burn. From this it is clear that one who steps over eternity does so for all times and places in complete spontaneity without conventions relying on before and after. ed note: add everything below the first sentence
-
This is very good, Jeff~ however, I am addressing subtle function and as I stated at the very beginning of the thread: Please, I would very much wish for you to bore deeper into this thing. Since it is itself the cause of realization that itself passes through temporal and absolute together, I urge you to go straight ahead and penetrate deeply with uncommon resolve.❤
