He does get into how it works short of explaining the math of it. 13:04 http://scienceblog.com/64278/large-scale-quantum-chip-validated/ http://www.nature.com/news/computing-the-quantum-company-1.13212 if you want more reading.

Ego, personality, emotion, humanity, all of that dies, the core experience will continue however.

My prison is pretty nice, but I am consumed every minute of every day knowing that death is coming and following that rebirth into a situation like this again. My longing to break free is literally the only thing that matters to me in life.

I am looking for a complete roadmap, like an algebra equation. Do this for x hours, then this for x hours, then this for x hours, etc. Systematic and easy to comprehend, with clear explanations for what each step does and why it is necessary, and where it leads to. I've been googling various Dzogchen meditations without much luck on actual instruction. I need a roadmap.

We don't exist as things, we exist as experiences. An experience of something isn't the same as the something it is an experience of. Experiences are not tangible physical entities yet we spend most of our lives hell bent on believing they are. There is no one experiencing the experience, just an experience that is occurring is all that we are or ever can be. Even still knowing this doesn't change how things will occur, death and rebirth still happen, suffering still happens.

I've heard those stories as well, but I haven't seen any reason to believe they are true. I'd like to see some credible documentation that this event has ever occurred, and that there is a process which leads to it. Even if rainbow body turns out to be a real ability that activates at death, are they claiming freedom from rebirth as a result?

Does Ramana Maharshi claim to have broken free of rebirth?

If you like second life, this will make you LOL! Not safe for work and possibly life.

If I ever ended rebirth in this lifetime, even if I was still knotted up, I'd spend the rest eternity working on getting the knots out. All I could ask for is to reach a level of ending rebirth before I die.

Any examples of this happening in the past 200 years?

I am sure by level 72 those mental factors limiting it are not many.

If you know of any Buddhist (or any other type of) masters that claim to offer a method to end rebirth, and actually teach it openly please point me in their direction. I've hunted and found nothing, if it exists it's a hidden teaching. Phowa transference of consciousness prior to death (an altered method of one of the yogas of naropa) is not publicly taught, if anyone alive knows it and can transmit it is unknown. Even then that sounds more like a quick band-aid fix to a larger problem. I know of no Buddhists methods specifically which address ending rebirth via a real method or meditation in a lifetime.

So sayeth a guy on a forum, vs the only master to ever have large enough ***s to publicly demo his abilities to scientists. I know of no Buddhist masters who claim to offer a way to achieve liberation from rebirth via an actual process other than be good and stuff.

I realize how to make a fire by friction, but my body is too weak to work a bow tool to make fire. What good is knowledge of making fire, with no ability to act on said knowledge?

Brute force.

We disagree that realization stops rebirth, I've heard of no Buddhist masters proclaim to have broken free of rebirth in recent history. As such it is a worthless path. Having great insight and wisdom into the ultimate nature of reality is fine and dandy, but breaking free of rebirth is the only goal that matters period. There is only one school I know of that publicly claims to have a method to achieve such.

Here is my perspective. 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of all these "teachers" don't represent systems that actually do anything. If your goal is to find peace, learn to make your body do pretty movements, or whatever, then that's fine. If you are looking to accomplish something meaningful, these "teachers" certainly have attained nothing of meaning in all their years of practice. They still die like dogs, just like the rest of us. Why fill my head with more useless knowledge, from people who haven't accomplished anything meaningful? Seems like a fool's errand to me. World wide there are only a small handful of teachers worth learning under.

Do not be so sure.

LOL that flopped pretty hard, like 50 people turned up. The sad thing is most people just don't give a *** **** as long as they have a quad core cell phone and PS4 and cheap beer

There a billion different goals and a billion different paths... Step one is to clearly define your goal. Step two is to find others that achieved your goal and get instructions on the path they took to get there. If something is valid or not depends on their goals.

Energy work is done in trance. Strong heat and vibration manifest. The state itself is very cold, the area around the naval can become like a stove eye however.
