  1. Neidan vs Qigong

    Thinking is a waste of time. Also thinking of failing "I have failed" is just a thought in your awareness and then we continue our meditation :-)
  2. There are beings helping all the time though few notice it.
  3. Neidan vs Qigong

    Nothing wrong with sitting meditation nor using other methods that some call "non-contrived". Why can't people just do their thing and not force their truth on others?
  4. Being grumpy I know about. For me it is more like a bodily irritation that is reflected in speech and action. What helps is walking in the woods, being with children, reminding me of the senses "how am I experiencing this moment through my senses?" to avoid being caught in the thinking mind. From a almost fanatic approach to cultivation I had to slow down and integrate daily life more which also helped. EDIT: contemplating "why do I see myself as separate?" continously cuts down ego-tendencies
  5. I don't think the mind actively follows "reasoning" to avoid anything. It happens spotaneously due to neural / biological structure in the brain and body that models of reality are created based on experience. The storage of conflicting models makes it harder to navigate thus ending in depression, anxiety and suffering. Trying to anticipate the future is part of the survival program. Probably still necesseray since this is still the physical dimension.
  6. I don't know about these prophecies. I know that I sense anxiety and depression worldwide is on the rise which could mean something will happen. It could also just be a cycle of transformation. Whatever will happen I can't do much other than Listen and do what is required by the moment.
  7. Bias against New Age
