The confusion is yours.

This is your belief. From Awakening to the Tao by Liu I-Ming If you have no interest in the true self what are you doing in the Daoist section?

I come from a standpoint aligned with what is written by Liu I-Ming, Buddha Shakyamuni and others who write from realization.

Problem is you take a Daoist concept and assign it as Truth. FDD wasn't an idiot. FP is a divine system received by FDD from a Deity as mentioned many times. I have recommended it for those who have an affinity with it.

Regarding gTummo teachings I heard from Lama Dawai that the order would be Yantra Yoga, then Trulkhor, then gTummo. I did a lot of energy work and found it useful. Though the knowingness of experience so to speak is the same. There are people who just sit in satsangs for 20 years Nisargadatta style with a simple pointing out that everything the mind says is a story and 'unreal' with a pointing to the real. See Sailor Bob Adamson and Sailor Sisters on YouTube for evidence. The view from the top of the mountain is the same. How we get to the top is different.

From Liu I-Ming, Awakening to the Tao (good book on internal alchemy). The body beyond the body is a pointer to your true nature Consciousness / Awareness / Beingness / Dao. Nothing can change the fact this is what you are right now. If you do energy work you will still be Consciousness. What is observing the change in your body? The changeless.

Enjoy this Zen text 😊

I can suggest some things if you want to change the world... But these tools work on you as well because you are part of it.

In quantum speak you are a quantum system affecting the reality (so to speak).

In Modern Buddhism vol 1 one can find instructions on emptiness teachings. Also training in compassion so one doesn't end up with dry insight.

Try to stop yourself from doing things. Who is trying to stop the doer? Where is action coming from?

First we have to find the 'one doing things'.

Working on yourself affects everybody since you are not separate from everyone else. All concepts.

The question is: have you rooted out the evil in yourself? Plenty of dark side in all of us.

Suppression of sexual desires never works. One good example of a couple that had qualities of real love and being awakened was Sailor Bob Adamson and Sailor Kat.
