    I was never that much focused on abilities except healing. I think besides healing then awakening / Truth is more important. Though it was Divine intention to give me martial abilities to fight off evil spirits which is quite cool. Low jing is something to look out for. I can tell when spirits attach to my system and suck energy and then they get a kick.

    I think it does. Denying the wish is an imbalanced approach, but I know why people are doing it. Mostly because of suffering, to escape it and also from believing the myths of spirituality too much. That realization of the Self will lead to their daily life being totally wonderful.

    The soul is ever changing... But ignoring it will also lead to suffering in my opinion.

    I tried that and it didn't work. I believe from personal experience that we need to heal our broken parts to lead a fullfilling life. I have interacted with others that show signs of spiritual bypassing, eg not dealing with romantic relationships because that's what old texts told them to do. Totally silly and will lead to what I call the stone face of the spiritual person. Another example is myself. For a long time in daily life I would suddenly suffer from temporary moments of deep sadness and longing for love. I went to a therapist and there my inner child was suddenly seen, heard, validated. I could sense the adult and grown up psyche in the therapist and suddenly because of mirroring my psyche would grow up as well. This lead to decreased suffering and more fulfillment in life. I think the name 'pearl' in Sufism is a perfect analogy for what it is like. Because of my own inner work, it has reflected back to my mother who acted like a child also some times. My deep listening to her helped her grow up her inner child as well which decreased her suffering 🙏

    Stirling, there is a human psyche as well. This is what therapists work with. Buddhism is not exempt from the reality of the human. Which is why you see some Buddhist teachers add psychological techniques to deal with the psyche. Just focusing on Self is what people call spiritual bypassing. In VortexHealing we have a transmission to work with the human psyche and do therapy in a way not seen in other systems. You can realize Self and the psyche will still be that of a child. Which happens if you look in spiritual communities. One example is the student clinging to the teacher instead of growing up and being their own teacher.

    I have asked Merlin help break it down.

    I do reiki and qigong with no issues. @Strong&free you need to open up your leg channels. The Dragon from Way of Power by Lam Kam Chuen is good for that.

  10. Forgiveness

    johndoe2012 posted a topic in Buddhist Discussion

    I had accumulated resentment, it was completely unbearable so I had to forgive. Hopefully someone will find it useful

    What you are talking about is what I have done through inner child work, healing and therapy to grow up parts of the psyche. Some do not do it and prefer spiritual bypassing either consciously or unconsciously.

    Entity attachment is usually caused by trauma, mostly from childhood. Most people are blind to it. I work with Merlin and asked Merlin to help Jason with the entity. Let's see if something shifts.

    johndoe2012 replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Daoist Discussion

    Exactly what narcissists with entity attachments also do. They confuse you into a negative state to eat your energy.
  14. Yes it is a better state to be in, because I enjoy life so much more rather than compare what happened 'last time'. Some of the Daoist exercises I do have very complex choreographies. It requires memory and daily doing. The effect is an overall improved memory also in other non-emotional areas of my life. So a good brain workout 😊

  15. Soul in Buddhism

    johndoe2012 replied to Chang dao ling's topic in Buddhist Discussion

    Yesterday when I recognized it, there was no judging or anything. Just non doing and joy. Even if people don't know what this is, it actually doesn't matter. They are all divine anyway.

    Yesterday it happened when I went dancing 😊

    For temporary suspension of the self generation, you could try the Dzogchen Semdzins in the Kindle sample of the book.

    Replenishment of prenatal jing in an effective manner can be done by one of the Golden Lotus standing meditations also.

  19. What God Looks Like

    johndoe2012 replied to Nungali's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion

    Bringing the fire down from the heart to ldt works in a Daoist context as I know you have a background in Daoism.

    The reason why FP is safer than other Daoist systems is the nature of the FP qi. While other systems deliver a 'hard' qi the FP qi is soft and healing and doesn't force an opening to happen. So in other systems you can end up with lots of anger and emotional issues. For awakening we need lots of qi to shift and dissolve the mental constructs of the personal self. Here the FP long form is a good tool as are the LDT forms in FP from the different levels. The xing and ming union is the same as dissolving the personal self, I sensed into my system after I did the exercises.

    True, but some seem to think that the attainments are different so I named them all as the same 😊

    I did the Core Veil class and for the rest of the awakening stuff I have been working with Merlin on my own.
  23. I know technically it is not Buddhist but a good pointer to non-doership

  24. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    johndoe2012 replied to Fu_dog's topic in General Discussion

    Sometimes thinking can be useful. Eg today I was irritated, then did bending the bows to bring fire from the heart to ldt, if you understand FP as a alchemical method. And it worked.

    Maybe we should have another thread for higher levels of Flying Phoenix. Anyway, I am getting really good results using a combination of Flying Phoenix different levels according to my intuition and sensing, VortexHealing and dzogchen. I have a been a VortexHealing practitioner since 2015 and received dzogchen transmissions since 2013. This helps reaching higher state in FP. VortexHealing from removing blockages more precisely and also because VortexHealing is a awakening and healing lineage and dzogchen for reaching a deeper state of emptiness and non-clinging. My feeling is a combination of practices can result in full Buddhahood and Immortality, realization of non duality and the Dao. Today I did 2 San Gong meditations followed by 3 different Golden Lotus FP, long form from level 1 and msw 60 70 40 5 from level 1. Total clarity with no suffering and full of joy.
