If you're spirituality is not rational, how do you keep from getting scammed?
Enishi replied to findley's topic in Daoist Discussion
Projecting qi into my novel writing is one thing I'd like to further develop. Several months after starting Stillness Movement I did some healing on a friend who has also practiced parts of Initiation into Hermetics. He mentioned that my technique wasn't just employing regular chi, it was also working with what Franz Bardon called the "Akasha". I dusted off my old pdfs of Bardon's three books, retried some of the exercises from IIH and found that they're much easier for me now. O.O -
Would you like most women to cover up their beauty?
Enishi replied to Everything's topic in The Rabbit Hole
They don't need to cover it up. I myself make the personal effort to ignore it and focus on other things. -
Is the West more accepting of Death than the East?
Enishi replied to tulku's topic in General Discussion
Go work in just about any hospital in America and you will see large numbers of families who purportedly believe in Jesus and the afterlife yet INSIST that 'everything be done' to keep a relative alive via national deficit raising, expensive, torturous, futile surgeries and procedures that may only give them several extra months of life spent in misery. -
If the Universe gives you the power & authority to destroy this old world so that a new, better world can be reborn..
Enishi replied to tulku's topic in General Discussion
I would destroy it, and then recreate it with everyone in it exactly as they were before, with all their fascinating good points and flaws and all the potential for growth and change that offers. I WOULD, however, remove all mosquitoes, deer flies and other nasty, biting insects. Vote Enishi for Omnipotent World Destroying Buddha. Vote for a better future, TODAY!! -

Chinese Taoist Medicine & Stillness-Movement Medical Qigong
Enishi replied to Ya Mu's topic in Group Studies
On Friday I got on Facebook and started chatting with a friend of mine. He has some strong abilities himself, but his current living situation isn't very good and he doesn't get good nutrition. He was experiencing flu-like symptoms. I started focusing on my Dan Tien, let my awareness spread out and began projecting qi to him. I felt the energy directing me to focus on various points of his body, also directing me to pull some of the sick qi out of the points at his feet, ming men and the top of his head. I found that I could also feel various points along the sides of his spine despite not being next to him physically. By letting the energy move my hands through the air I was able to manipulate the spinal points that needed work, altering their vibration. At times throughout the session my body wanted to get up and move around while projecting. At one point I felt directed to go get some water from the faucet, and as I drank it, I got a vision of oceans and tidal pools, and felt energy rushing through me. After roughly twenty minutes, my friend commented that he was feeling much better, and his improved condition lasted throughout the day. It may be partly due to him and I sharing a strong bond, but I was quite surprised, as the healing I peformed that time was more effective than previous instances when I was standing right next to someone. O.o -
Good to see you again!

Until one gets close enough to said natural state wherein they can at least feel grounded, happy and content even if they are currently single, any attempts at dating are really putting the cart in front of the horse imo. If you are perpetually needy, you need to change that first, even if you have some limited success in dating you will just be throwing more wood on the neediness fire.

"We have to reorganize civilization pretty drastically"
Enishi replied to Encephalon's topic in The Rabbit Hole
It's saddening to see how few people openly contemplate these things. Among the younger generations, there is a stronger sense of disillusionment, but it's mostly dealt with via partying, shallow sex, Skyrim, online surfing and "look at me" tats/piercings (although I care about them, I am speaking of some of my own friends here). Genuine seriousness and planning for the future is eschewed in favor of short term pleasure. Meanwhile, the older generations whine about said behavior, whilst ignoring how their choices throughout the decades helped create the above. Instead, they mostly focus on trying to kick the can down the road and continue business as usual. All the while hoping that the younger generations will work harder so they can receive their hundreds of thousands of dollars in inefficient allopathic medical care in order to keep up the image of doing "everything possible" to extend their life right up until the last minute so they don't have to confront and accept the reality of death that their Christian faiths failed to prepare them for. -
I've recently read through all the currently released books of the 'Gone' series by Michael Grant. It's surprisingly violent for a Young Adult series. 'After the end' type stories in which civilization has collapsed tend to be quite fascinating for me as of late.

Who else has tried these sorts of tests, before? http://www.psychicscience.org/esp3.aspx Interestingly enough, I find that when I get a "hit", the heightened positivity I feel tends to make it easier for me to see the next card and get several more hits, whereas when I get frustrated, my accuracy drops. In addition, another weird phenomena I've noticed is that sometimes when I get a miss, the "correct" card is the previous, or the preceding one that I've selected. I will also sometimes get a faint image of the next card, like a square, but my brain thinks "no that must be a circle!" and then it turns out that it WAS a square. >.< Crosses and waves also tend to get mixed together. :\
-
Basically just put yourself in a calm state and "feel out" what the next card will be. I experimented earlier with using a theta bianural beats video to see if that enhanced my results, but it actually made it worse. I get the best results when I don't care too much about whether I get a hit or not.

I practice as well. Lately I was reminded once again of the differences between concentration and awareness. I was getting frustrated with my practice and wondered why the last week hadn't gone so well. Then I realized that I was concentrating on my dantien, essentially focusing on it from "above". When placing my awareness there however, my experience thus far is that it's like one's soul literally IS there, with your head and torso above you. Then, when my thoughts settled, the area began vibrating and I felt like I was going to literally pop out of my skin. I had very intense kriya-type spasms for a moment before it calmed down. Not sure if that's "progress" but it was certainly interesting.

Nicole Daedone: Female Orgasm and Shantam Nityama - Tantric Mongoose
Enishi replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
I experience some benefits for the first 10-20 minutes when using half or full lotus before the discomfort becomes too great. I'm starting to think though that this is mostly due to it being a 'stable' position (both physically and energetically), whereas sitting in a regular cross-legged position, even with a mattress, can result in my ankle bones rubbing uncomfortably on the ground. -
Ellen Hodgson Brown's writings on Public Banking have caught my interest as of late. If we want the 0.1% to stop ripping off the 99.9%, changes to our banking systems will be essential. Getting rid of the Fed is a good start, but private vs. public banking is another issue of importance: http://www.webofdebt.com/articles/global_debt.php

Although he appears to have a very small following at this point, Buddy Roemer is another good potential candidate: http://www.buddyroemer.com/issues

I like some of Bodri's books but at times it seems to me that a fair portion of the hundreds of pages he writes could basically be summed up with one sentence: "Stillness meditation is good for you, do it more!"
-
For the last several weeks I've tried combining both Full Lotus and Half Lotus with the sitting practice in Stillness-Movement. I was impressed initially as my meditation did go deeper, but now I'm more skeptical. The aforementioned benefits were most noticeable in the first 10 minutes. After 20 minutes for Full Lotus and 40 minutes for Half Lotus, the discomfort reaches such a level that I feel compelled to shift my position, which interferes with my focus and awareness of the Qi. I'm thinking now that I should train those positions separately before I try to combine them with my main practice again.
-
Several years ago before learning Stillness-Movement me and my Shaman friend used to go out to a large nature park, sit down next to some of the largest trees and telepathically interact with them. Although trees do lack a neo-cortex and thus rational thought, we were both impressed by how deep and expansive their wisdom is. It was quite humbling. Sometimes several trees will share the same consciousness. The aforementioned Shaman friend noticed that such is the case with some of the Redwood forests in California. It's a very powerful and inspiring practice.

Although I wanted Ron Paul to win the nomination, I wasn't all that surprised when he didn't. :\ I would vote for him, but I do admit that some of his views ARE 'loopy'. In some respects his reputation for being so consistent over the years and sticking to his guns is a double-edged sword. Even if he has changed some of his views on a private level, admitting this openly could damage his reputation. What I'd like to see now is a third party candidate who incorporates the best parts of Ron Paul's ideology, such as ending the Federal Reserve, the ever-expanding Military establishment, erosion of civil liberties and the Drug War, but without trying to remove the EPA or ignore resource depletion....

Thanks for the advice. I will check those links out.

Although I detest passive aggressiveness in others, I do admittingly find it hard to be as direct with people as I should. I'm paranoid that since I've had a history of aspergers syndrome and not relating to most people in either beliefs or interests, being direct will result in multiple people turning against me. I also have a hard time commiting to a regular schedule, it's like my subconscious rebels at the very notion. I'm starting to wonder if a way around that is to tell myself "I WILL waste my entire day!!" and see if my subconscious rebels at that and makes me train harder instead.
