To the muslim i say remember your prophets words about arguments is to reply with' you have your belief and i have mine, peace be with you' To the buddhist i say remember buddha's words to not trust any teachings until you yourself have proven them through your own meditative experience, and his last words find your own light. peace

The world will only experience 'great change' when we stop waiting for something to change and realise the power of ourselves over ourselves. A great man/woman way realise themselves who they are and perform miracles, but apart from reminding ourselves of ourselves and what power we can have over ourselves, what else can they do? It's been said that prophets came and their messages were constantly changed/manipulated to cause the masses to wait for something to happen. The only change that is potentially beyond us is that of Mother Earth having enough of the constant abuse and doing something about it, although if we chose to change the way we treated her as a collective humanity things may not need to occur. ps, didn't read every single post on this thread, so sorry if what i've said has been said or is out of place Peace

Some things Christ wanted kept to his closest disciples, i only read a bit here and there from sources i don't know are reliable, so out of respect for christ and the teachings, i'm gonna stay quiet on this Peace

Special TTBers only promotion: Stillness-Movement Neigong September 28,29,30
Edward M replied to Ya Mu's topic in General Discussion
I don't know much about lineage and that kind of thing, but i do know that stillness movement neigong really does work! Not only does it fill one with energy of the lineages frequency, but it also sorts out any physical problems such neck and back pain by way of this incredibly intelligent energy doing osteopathy on you..i'm not kidding it does the same manipulations the osteopath does for me, but goes in even more subtly and to greater effect. The main effect of this neigong i'm most happy with is tons more energy when i meditate. I can sit and concentrate for much much longer with greater awareness.. this neigong will enhance any activity you do, by enhancing you as a human, an energetic/spiritual being. All the best.

Hey Bum's, Just had an idea... perhaps we could together organise a time or times each day or week where as many of us try to sit down at the same time and meditate? This could be just simple watching the breath, or we could have a goal such as to generate as much love as possible together... have been many studies of group intent and it's profound effects. I realise we are all in different time zones, but we could maybe create groups of zones near to each other, call them bum cells of light or something haha, all working together for positive change.. What do you think? Saying all this, if you like the idea, could someone volunteer to organise it? i'm really no good at organising things... but wanted to at least put the idea out there.. Peace

The Lords Prayer - Meaning lost in translation...?
Edward M replied to Jeff's topic in General Discussion
Agreed Apech, but bear in mind that The Word in aramaic refers to the creative energy, that which allows us and plants, animals etc to grow, that which powers evolution of universe etc... Is similar to some shivaism schools of thought.. Peace -
The Lords Prayer - Meaning lost in translation...?
Edward M replied to Jeff's topic in General Discussion
Ok, thanks for that Apech, you're more knowledgable than I am on the subject, that's for sure I'll stop derailing this thread now... sorry Jeff!! Peace -
The Lords Prayer - Meaning lost in translation...?
Edward M replied to Jeff's topic in General Discussion
Thanks alwayson, isn't it referring to tibetan shamanism? My only point in writing/asking all this is just to say i don't see how Jesus could have been a dzogchen master, even though i believe he mastered Buddhist practice. Also, thanks Jeff for Lords prayer translation... was refreshing to read Peace -

Edward M replied to Jeff's topic in General Discussion
Thanks Apech, earlier buddhist or dzogchen teachers? i was under the impression dzogchen was a synthesis of Tibetan Bon and Buddhism? Peace -
The Lords Prayer - Meaning lost in translation...?
Edward M replied to Jeff's topic in General Discussion
Rudolph Steiner saw in the akashic records that Jesus indeed studied buddhism. He would have needed that level of awareness to be able to deal with what happened after his Baptism by John. But I have to ask, had Buddhism even reached Tibet let alone evolved into Dzogchen when Jesus was alive? quite an important question! Peace -

The vagus nerve is not the sushumna/central channel
Edward M replied to Tibetan_Ice's topic in General Discussion
They may not be the same thing, but perhaps the vagus nerve acts with the central channel to initiate all the changes bio-chemistry? The pulsating of the neck i'd expect is the yin-wei channel.. say that because i noticed first after lsd use 13 yrs ago,, then again recently after using a herbal formula targeting the yin wei extraordinary meridian.. when i told my tcm doc about this he was surprised how deep lsd works on the body/energy.. good reason not to mess with these substances unless one is really guided properly and have chosen power substances as part of their path..but mixing paths like that is imo not a good thing to do..

Marijuana-induced Kundalini-like syndrome?
Edward M replied to FokusFyre's topic in General Discussion
I been through similar experience brought on by cannabis, lsd and shrooms... was diagnosed as schizophrenic then changed to just pure paranoia once they realised i still think logically etc... I used to get the most intense heat in lower abdomen when stoned and openings of the heart that felt like i connected with the whole universe. Then I went into a more serious phase where i'd get pressure on the lower spine like someone was pressing down on it while i was trying to sleep. The big change was forming false memory's that were much like a powerful lucid dream except i was awake at the time. A shamanic practitioner told me in the past year that i was journeying involuntarily. Other things occured when off medication such as light appearing at heart centre and spreading up and down my spine.. That was after making a massive effort to right my wrongs and try and make a life for myself. But then something happened that resulted in involuntary loss of a HUGE amount of essence/jing that made things spiritual come to a halt.. i dare say i may have lost all potential at that time for the kundalini to be present... although i'm working with a tcm doc to get healthy again. So, i agree about schizophrenia being kundalini and entity related for sure... if one can get enough insight into oneself and stay grounded and do what needs to be done in this world then it can be overcome. Put it this way, Buddha, Christ, Lao Tzu etc attained something great, but they sure as heck could manage this world if they wanted to/needed to, like hold down a job, keep house/home in order, have healthy relationships....if one can't handle that, then they are not fit for true spiritual attainment.. i'm not trying to preach, because at the moment i'm having great difficulty with the normal things of life... but it is something i learned along the way with this 'illness' that i feel is quite important. Really glad you are feeling better, spring forest is good stuff... Peace -
Blimey, just read the bits i missed before in that book i posted... it's a very controversial book to say the least.. once again i;'m not putting it up as an example of what i believe.. safest thing is if you believe in christ and want to follow him, don't make any assumptions like in that book, just focus on christ and whatver is the truth you shall find it.. ok, time i got off here.. Peace

That's quite complex... but didn't you say jesus says he is lucifer in the bible? satan and lucifer are to different entities.. from what i've heard at least. The thing with the demiurge theory is that this being has an ego and is deluded, he isn't actually evil, he is just desperatly trying to preserve the illusion that he wasn't created... he rules this solar system apparently... Try reading this to see what i'm pointing at: http://www.theforbiddenreligion.com/gnostic-book.htm#.UeWog47UOLE Note that he describes the true God as unknowable.... ps, not saying i subscribe to all this... i'm still searching for truth... all i know is if one is sincere they will get to the 'originator'.. Peace
