Vajrahridaya

There are findings of bones including a femur from really big people into the 12 or 13 foot range. I don't think there is any substantial proof behind the idea of a 30 foot person. I don't think I was 30 feet... I feel more like the vision showed that I was 12 feet tall or so. Genesis in the bible claims that there were people taller than this which is the reason why I exaggerated kind of jokingly, but who knows?

It means all things, experiences and beings arise inter-connectedly or find their existence through the fact of other things in an endless web of flow and change. It's the opposite of independent origination, which is the idea that things manifest from themselves or from a single essence or a single being that is itself without cause. You can do a google search and find some good information on dependent origination.

Well... you've probably entered first stage Bodhisattva at least. Anyway... she means 5 elements.

I had that thought as well actually. I thought... hmm... in retrospect... I wonder if this person is using loving energy as a way of eliciting my servitude? Well... my good karma and his bad karma if that's the case. But, I just hope it was because I was obviously built for the job of building, being a 30 foot or more giant and all. I will give the little commanding dude the benefit of the doubt that he was actually benevolent. Who knows?

Look in the mirror buddy. Oh... is that me saying you're projecting again? I guess it must be because it's true... again. Now to answer an actual question that comes off as a judgment and projection for some odd reason? Vajrayana is different and more specific than Hinayana. Mahamudra practice though probably has that precept. Dzogchen does not. Dzogchen is not about attachment and aversion, it's about holistic acceptance. The only precept Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche gives is to maintain the view. Vajrayana as a whole is more flexible of a path and those with a build up of inner experience, prajna/chi/shakti can partake in the average human experience without getting "intoxicated" internally.

It's good for your Mahamudra practice to not take intoxicants. It's probably even a vow? Through a pure mind and body during your grooming years your inner experience and energy of prajna/chi will build.

It's all quite convoluted and such in the types of practice, but I started with the Hindu Bhakti stuff, meditation, chanting, reading sacred texts and autobiographies by saints. Into contemplation of presence and the ensuing experiences from practice, fasting and conscious dreaming. Thinking about the nature of the elements. When I came to Buddhism, my focus shifted a bit and my way of interpreting my experiencing has changed. My Buddhist practices are more involved as well incorporating more specific techniques for specific results.

Wow! We have similar stories in your methods and I'm 35 as well. Cool. Yes, the above is exactly how I started and still do, though some of the focus has shifted and some of the concepts have emptied themselves to leave more space, but... yeah. I do need to take up the talking to my chosen deity practice more again, though I still do it sometimes, just less fervently as I used to. Ah... the bliss of divine longing is so awesome! Union, longing, union... longing... like a little game.

:lol: Hell's yeah!!! I'll probably have a beer later this evening. HA!

I've heard of this guy. Thanks for the links!

I'm in total agreement. I've been cursed with a lifetime of strange occurrences, visions, dreams, verifiable psychic experiences, ghost visitations, etc., as well as an onslaught of both New Ager information about such things of which I am also skeptical about, as well as all sorts of texts of antiquity about such things all due to the fact that I'm my mothers son. Who knows... maybe I'm just totally bonkers!? But it's fun to think about such things and give some space for possible truth to the Alien believers?

Yes, I've thought of the first one, as there is a tradition in Africa for changing physical attributes through manipulation.

All interesting, thank you. I don't know if these elongated head people are aliens or merely different kinds of humanoid creatures? About the giants, they talk about it in the bible. All I know is that my experience was out of no where and didn't even make sense at first. But, shortly afterwords I met someone who started talking about all this stuff in the link below and he had all these different links online, even pictures of bones of giant femur's dug up out of Africa and supposedly even here in the USA and Europe over the last few hundred years or so? I don't know... I am a skeptic. But, my vision was very vivid and I didn't have any prior knowledge of these things before the vision as far as I can remember. Here's a link. Giants, Nephilim, and the ancient Egyptians

In a meditation I saw this man with an elongated skull while I was a huge giant helping build the first Pyramid. The man was communicating with me telepathically, giving me orders, but there was lots of love involved. I just remember really loving energy between us. This experience made me start to look into this stuff and apparently there were giants in Egypt and now you are telling me that the man with the elongated skull was a ruling elite in Egypt? He looked like some high class dude, he was giving me orders and I was 3 times his size, huge.

Excellent insight. This is what drove me to want to be alone and work on myself for 5 years during the 90's. I used to sing that song to myself, "Looking for love in all the wrong places", over and over again like a mantra every-time my mind wanted to try to find fulfillment from without instead of from within.

I bow to your lotus feet Seth Ananda. You have entered a new revelation of insight that is brilliant, deep and subtle. May it grow to grant you complete and total Buddhahood in this very lifetime!

Ok, she's satisfied with the information she got. She has never been away from a cold climate for this long, having been born and raised completely in Canada and now living in Florida. Anyway. The higher experiences of bliss and light will blind one and lead one to think this is the "source" the "self" the true self existence of everything. This is the basic last ditch effort of the ego. It's very deep and subtle, not bad, not good, just natural for the mind to think this about these very deep, subtle, incredibly insightful experiences of bliss, love, connection to everything as the "real soul" of everything! The insight of emptiness and dependent origination does not negate these experiences at all. It in fact gives new insight into these experiences, new liberation through these experiences. But also freedom from even while these experiences occur. I am one of frequent blissful experiences, so for me it was very hard to come to this insight. My mind put up a fight for a long time against the complete eradication of clinging of any sort, because it thought that it could have this one truly existing essence to cling to and it would all be ok in the end. But no... it only leads to re-absorption at the end of a cosmic eon and re-expression at the beginning of a new one. When I say these things, people are like, "What?? Cosmic eon... who the hell cares about that which lasts for trillions and trillions of years?? I'm just worried about the end of this life!" But... if you are like me who has seen directly into past lives, and directly into other dimensions of experience beyond this body, into the heaven realms spoken about in the different religious texts and the words of great beings spoken about in various Autobiographies, then you are not worried so much about merely the end of this life, but you are concerned with true and total freedom from the cycle, complete and without any residue!! YAY!! That is E&DO my man... :lol: :lol:

I was sleeping and was woken up after a couple hours and couldn't get back to sleep. Now my wife is complaining that she took a shower and can't understand why her hair is falling out. So... I'll have to make this fast. The Buddha never said that it wasn't a good thing. Of course it's a good thing! It leads to higher stages of evolution for an individual mind stream and even a mass of mind streams! Imagine if our entire human race believed and experienced that great and wonderful bliss of the formless experiences!? Indeed. It was very, very hard for me to come to this realization. I resisted it in debate with a Buddhist master for many years. But, when I started experiencing directly what he was talking about... I at first fell apart after the amazing experiences of subtle insight past my experiences of "Self". Then experienced even deeper causes for my samskaras, then experienced even deeper clarity into the nature of everything in and around me. Laughing really strong right now! Yeah man!! Nope, it's an insight! No it doesn't, but the experience of oneness is still there as emptiness leaves everything transparent. All these candles, though bright are not blinding anymore. That bright bliss is still there to be experienced, but rather than blinding one from the subtle inter-connectivity of mutually dependent individuals, it's granting you insight into them and past them, beyond duality, but also beyond unity... into emptiness. Truly amazing insight Seth!! Ok, my wife really wants to look up about the hair thing... I'm being rushed!! Peace, harmony and deep grounding breaths!

No doubt!!

Buddhism has plenty of aliens in it, especially in the more esoteric or Tantric traditions. Even though mostly Buddhism just talks about an individuals attainment regardless of the planet of origin, or dimension of living. But plenty of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas have been named originating from other planets or dimensions. Indeed! My mom read his Autobiography I think? Or no... I think it was this one... Zulu Shaman: Dreams, Prophecies, and Mysteries. She talked about some of the things he wrote about in terms of Aliens and such. Hmmm. Interesting.
