  1. Alchemy, is it real ??

    Sounds like a proprietary definition, but all it takes is a relatively silent mind and some patience for answers.
  2. Alchemy, is it real ??

    If you want right relationship to others, have a look into the Akashic records to understand what is going on.
  3. Alchemy, is it real ??

    I am fortunate to have access to a dzogchen teacher that can do real pointing out. Also I have a transmission from Merlin (Presence) that does more or less the same - resting in non dual awareness. No wonder beings are confused when stuck in the conceptual mind running after things.
  4. Stele of Revealing

    Sounds like a mix of Dzogchen and Daoist practice? 1. Tögal 2. Absorb jing from sun 3.? 4. Abiding in awareness
  5. SM is not about spontaneous movements although it may happen when you practice. As for SM without transmission it is like imagining eating an orange vs actually eating a real orange. I got my crown open prematurely on a SM seminar, something that continues to plague me although Flying Phoenix Qigong has helped with that over the last 14 years.
  6. instant karma,

    A pointer relevant to this and your other non violence thread
  7. I think you are right. I always thought heaven will give energy to those who need it. See Gurus who for hours everyday give satsang or pointing out etc. So it is quite simple really. It is a non doing. The people who will try to open it up and meddle with energies will develop imbalances.
  8. Gift of the Tao is reverse engineered SM so to speak. I don't do SM anymore as it caused severe energy imbalances.
  9. Nei Gong systems

    I would do only one of these systems, Wang Liping system contains the Three Spaces practice which would dissolve boundaries of body into space. See Nathan Brine book vol 3. I doubt Damo Mitchell has reached that stage.
  10. SM is based on transmission, I don't think the book is enough. Since you think the systems are similar I can tell you are not doing SM but just ordinary LDT meditation.
  11. I could be wrong but dzogchen masters seem to have the MCO active and the only thing they are doing is abiding in the view. So I guess all this doing is not needed and we can finally relax after many years of doing this and that.
  12. "non-violent in thought and action"

    We still are tribal, animalistic to a degree, maybe in a 100,000 years it will be ironed out, who knows? We can work on ourselves and stop contributing to violence and teach the new generation better ways but yes, we still live in a violent world.
  13. Benebell Wen on the Microcosmic Orbit

    One exception is Flying Phoenix Qigong. I know it is marketed as a health system but my own research indicates that the qi does not inflate the 'you' and one of the emptiness meditations could possibly lead to realization of emptiness if one does it for extended periods.
  14. Benebell Wen on the Microcosmic Orbit

    True and my own finding that the Benebell Wen version can release the grasping of the body periphery can't just be done either without other work first. This version could lead to the Dao since the final result is the merging of you with the Dao which is the dissolving of feeling of 'you' in your consciousness - the universe is inside you she calls it.
  15. Benebell Wen on the Microcosmic Orbit

    Agree. Rob Coons mentions 3 different MCOs here https://immortalitystudy.gumroad.com/l/bzsdpm?layout=profile (not endorsing paid stuff but just for the sake of discussion).
  16. Dzogchen/Mahamudra Resources

    I can vouch / recommend this. The group is awesome and enables release of deep stuff into realization of awareness and abiding in it on a daily basis.
  17. Benebell Wen on the Microcosmic Orbit

    Good method for yin yang harmonization and releasing the grasping of the body periphery.

  19. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Long form, 50-10-50, monk holding pearl, some Golden Lotus meds for heart. Sitting mostly 7-10 mins per med. Sometimes other meds, depending on needs.
  20. Asking for something in a prayer

    God is just your non dual awareness. Which is the basis of our experience. When you pray for something, if you are aware it will start appearing in your awareness as 'something non tangible' in the beginning. This what the manifestation people do when they visualize their desires. As for whether there is a price. Maybe there is a price in terms of increased awareness in terms of growth or recognition that nothing is needed for being happy or content. Though I think it depends on Destiny / Ming. Since the Destiny for someone is to actually pray / want something and get it since their Life Destiny is so for them to feel whole and giving (say a life partner).

  22. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Still enjoying these meditations after 16 years of practice 😊
  23. For some of the Golden Lotus Flying Phoenix meditations I could sense just from the breathing sequence what the meditation would do. Other times I had to do the meditation to sense what was going on in my system. Anyone with a good sensing ability can do it.
  24. TTP exercise 1 seems to relax tension in upper back and shoulders and helped me with insomnia last night. It might help in opening up that area for MCO - I sensed increased flow there.
