I noticed that the article said that "Black Knight" has been famous for some time now. Well it can't have been all that famous cause I've never heard anyone say anything about it, ever. If they got that fact wrong, what else did they get wrong?

for all organ meditations I do a combination of the healing sounds and inner smile. The Kidney's sound is "choo". So what you do is you visualize your kidneys glowing with blue light and smiling on the inhale. On the exhale you make the "choo" sound either vocally, subvocally, or mentally. The book "Medical Qigong" says that for more physical symptoms you make the sound vocal, and for more emotional issues you do the sound mentally or sub-vocally. Also if you want to tonify (add) you focus more on the inner smile. If you want to reduce then you focus more on the healing sounds.

Hey nice to see you here. I'm an acupuncture student currently.

Thanks

What about the evil genius then?

How do you post a picture?

That's weird, I've never heard of that before.

omg that literally made me laugh out loud LOL

Actually I am in the process of overthrowing "the system". My generals Samatha and Vipassana are currently doing reconnaissance and planning strategy against the enemy called "false self". False self is a difficult and cunning opponent because his generals are conditioning and delusion. But though the campaign is difficult and slow progress is being made on the awakening front. Conditioning and delusion are masters of camouflage and help false self to perform nasty sneak attacks which cause my kingdom great desire and then suffering, but Samatha is very cunning and sits very still for long periods of time until he can see through conditioning and delusions camouflage. Once Samatha has spotted the opponent then he gets on the radio and calls in an airstrike to Vipassana. Vipassana flies in on his plane "loving-kindness and compassion 1" and challenges conditioning and delusion to a stare down duel. At first conditioning and delusion just laugh at Vipassana and tell him that they are not going anywhere, but Vipassana is also very patient and just keeps staring at his opponent. Then just when it seems like conditioning and delusion will never give up Vipassana shoots his penetrating insight ray out of his eyes and conditioning and delusion dissolve. Of course a battle is then won but there isn't time for too much celebration because "false self" has many generals named conditioning and delusion and each one has a slightly different uniform. So Samatha goes back into action to find them too. But I hope to one day finally totally over throw the system and achieve ultimate victory and enter the land of Nirvana. The End

Sometimes, but it seems that what is happening most often now is that it is when I first wake up that for a few seconds I have the deepest insight into my ego/false self and realize with great clarity what a facade/delusion it is.

I was looking at that list of chakra's and kudalini and was wondering if it might not necessarily be sequential because since the initial kundalini experience I had on Monday I've seen to be going through to some degree all of those symptoms more or less.

Yea thanks for that information, its really good to get encouraging wisdom in the midst of this experience

Hmmm that's actually super interesting, I guess at the moment my kundalini is trying to get through my second chakra which is why I can't sleep haha.

Ok so previously I had mentioned how I did not feel desire in the sexual organ but in my heart. Now I'm at over 50 days of retention and meditation and I seem to be having the opposite end of the equation. I tried to go to bed and I wasn't thinking about sex or anything but my "member" was very sensitive and stood to attention for no apparent reason (i.e. I wasn't thinking about anything sexual). So in the past when I felt the heart desire doing the heart meditation would help. Tonight it did nothing. So instead I did the kidney healing sound and things subsided. I wonder they this reversal of experience now?

that's great me too, but your in luck because you don't figure it out with math lol

Figure out the nature of reality and that won't be a problem either

well that's good, so in the mean time you can look into the nature of reality with out the distractions of bimbos lol

When you get to Texas you buy me a beer and I'll give you some truth for it lol

That's kind of like saying that you sink the first time you jump in a pool because you took too many baths before.

Well thanks, but I didn't come up with it, its just what Buddha has already said for a long time lol.

only if you identify with the body as being you like I said, you loose nothing by asking. Btw don't "hit on girls" ask them out, and don't stalk them on facebook, and don't tell them you stalk them. That is also clinging, You have to let go.

What exactly is the seventh consciousness and how does it relate to the five skandhas?

No biggie, ask out someone else if you want to lol. I asked out a black girl once and got rejected cause I'm white, just the way it goes, but its no reflection on who you are.

So I had this unintentional kundalini experience yesterday and now my entire life seems like one huge ego trip lol.

I've noticed a common theme on this forum is all these young men that are frustrated in finding female companionship. Now in my experience I've noticed that more often than naught that these same guys who are frustrated at not having a female don't do the most obvious and straight forward thing that there is to do to get one......ASK! It's so incredibly simple and yet I see so many guys complain about not having a gf and yet they never ask one out! I mean duh!!! lol. I mean if you really want a girl that bad then what do you really have to loose by asking one out? Right now you don't have one, the worst thing she could say is "no" and then your still in the same place you started and you have lost nothing. On the other hand she could say "yes" and then problem solved lol. In the past I've gone out with lots of women. What was my great and mysterious technique for doing so? Asking them out lol. Did I ever get turned down? sure. Was it the end of the world? of course not, its not like I was going out with them in the first place, so I just moved on and asked the next girl out lol. Ok so enough of the mundane. Here is the real reason why guys are reluctant to ask a girl out. They identify with the form skandha as being who they are. They think they are their body, they identify with their body as being who they really are. This is also the same reason girls stress so much about their appearance, they think they are their body. When you realize you are not your body, and you stop identifying yourself as being your body then it wont matter to you if someone thinks your attractive, and wants to go or not go out with you! Now perhaps your thinking that your not just worried about how they think you look. Perhaps you are afraid that if you start to talk to them they won't like you. Well now you are identifying with your thoughts as being you. You are not your thoughts, your thoughts are not you. Your thoughts are just your conditioning. Your thoughts are a complicated conglomeration of your senses, mass media, culture, family, and what you make of all of it. So you think if you start talking they will think your stupid or not good enough. Who knows they might not like how you think. If you realize that you are not your thoughts, its no big deal, you just move on to the next one and someone is bound to like how you think no matter how weird it is lol. But if you think you are your thoughts, and someone does not like how you think and rejects that, then of course this is a tragic blow to the false self ego you have created through all of that conditioning. So the answer is to let go of identifying with your thoughts as being you. Part of that conditioning these days are these unrealistic movies where the "stud" never gets turned down, so young guys see this and think that if they get turned down something must be wrong with them. Well guess what, movies are not reality lol. How do you do that you ask? Well that's what meditation is for. You look at these issues, you look at them as a detached observer and you see what is really going on until the facade dissolves and you see what reality is. Every problem you have in your life, everything that stresses you out and everything that frustrates you, including your girl troubles (or if your a girl your boy troubles) is because you have an incorrect idea of who and what you really are.
