  1. The origins of alchemy (and chemistry)

    I'm so on top of that!!!❤ hahahahhahaa!! (not joking)
  2. [TTC Study] Chapter 71 of the Tao Teh Ching

    I do not know Chinese, I only know mind. The insight is not a matter of self-reflection. Knowing not-knowing is the noble insight. This is not a reference to humility Or a quantifiable lack in terms of conventional wisdom. It is a fact of selfless realization That you know it is not you that knows not-knowing. So when one has the knowledge that not-knowing is not within or without the ken of the personality One knows transcendence of self, ego, the karmic conditioned conscious endowed identity Which is knowing the sickness of sickness has no cause So the sage has no sickness because of this. Because selfless realization is the event of selfless objectivity Which alone is able to discern the nature of awareness And what is not. Let's hope not.❤
  3. Bliss VS Awareness

    Um, last time I checked, impersonal awareness was bliss.
  4. Aloha

    Used to live on Oahu. My guitar teacher lives on Kauai. Ya, big waves are raw nature with planetary momentum, coeval with any mountain on Earth.
  5. How do you guys do it?!?!?!?!

    Simple is not easy! There are cultural rights of passage. You bit off the technical skill thing. You even got lost in it. Now get the education thing set up and do that. You live in North America. Don't take the opportunity for granted. If you don't know what to do or why, then just dive in and see what happens. What a luxury to consider completing an academic program as something you don't want to do. Don't resist it any longer. Work hard!
  6. The orgins of gods.

    Ke ono nalu nui!!❤

  9. How you apply Buddhism in life

    Well, what wonderful discussion! I can't see that anything at all changes because of practicing Bodhi.
  10. The 'tokens' I have returned with

    Impersonal nature~ not knowing, certainly is worth the wait.

    What you returned, Ohm Nei? Was identity forgotten?

    Aloha nui, ion!❤
  13. MCO Brain Damage. Please help.

    All the manuals of old and new stress care, moderation and expert instruction in these practices— not to mention a mature approach. It certainly is possible to cause harm and illnesses that are impossible to cure conventionally. Many beginners resent being warned… Please do not concentrate on ANY specific part of the body ESPECIALLY the head! What is concentrated is your observation on the whole body and mind unity not points or apertures. It is a matter of guiding the energy~ not drilling it into a spot. The energy knows what to do. By concentrated observation, you find out what happens. The books tell you what to expect, but do not forget that it is a subtle affair. Keep the tip of your tongue on the palette where your top front teeth come out while doing this exercise. After massing cool energy in the perineum and passing it through the coccyx and up the mid-spine to the "jade pillow" at the base of the skull, let it mass there. Don't let it go further for awhile. It needs to be primed as it is a pass as well as a pump. Then let it flow into the head. Just continue concentrated observation and keep the energy all along the active channel activated and flowing up into the brain. Eventually you may begin to notice it spinning in one direction. Count however many revolutions you care to. In all these exercises, the point is to activate, direct, mass and diffuse the energy to repletion and sufficiency, then move it on to the next area without lagging or hurrying. After you observe the spinning and note it's directional travel, let it begin to flow to the front of your head and down the bridge of your nose and behind the lips to the tongue and down the throat. I didn't notice what sex you are. Here it is different for boys and girls. Mantak Chia notes the differences. The book Immortal Sisters has specific information for girls. Even this simple practice requires psychological maturity and a grounding in the ancient classics, like the Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu who's emphasis is about energy diffusion and clarity. Study these and the specifics of basic induction practice techniques before going further, please.❤
  14. The Jade Emperor's Mind Seal Classic

    Mystery is movement; female is still What does not seem to exist, yet in fact seems to exist Is potential on the brink of action Stillness' origin is movement But that's not all Departing from the Mysterious The aperture of acquiescence opens Entering the female Therein is the Virtue of the Receptive Within true emptiness Is found the replete Entry is the catalyst of quickening: The Shen unites with the Ching. The Shen unites with the Qi, The breath then unites with the true nature And the embryo forms in space The celestial design is clear When the two things join Therein is miraculous light One sees far and lives long The sacred sun and sacred moon Illuminate the Golden Court. One attainment is eternal attainment. The Jade Emperor's Mind Seal Classic (ed: fixed typo~change "thing" to "things")
  15. When you're sick...

    Don't obsess over energy practice. Take a break and just sit without becoming bored and having to move something around because you can't be still for a few minutes. You'll be better soon!❤
  16. Neither will the Future Male be judged. Ever has it been up to the person. It is not only in the future.
  17. The Jade Emperor's Mind Seal Classic

    Invoking is not words Holding is inconceivable The subtle principle has no origination The illumined self doesn't know Endless transformations Return to the same source The one time of no time Void of emptiness After one hundred days And ten thousand intervals Substance and conditions themselves Constitute endless transformations The Jade Emperor's Mind Seal Classic
