I've done HIIT before, but it was torture lol.

True. More accurately I should have said "I think cardio is boring, and prefer BJJ for cardio" lol

most cardio is boring, that's why I like BJJ lol.

I think exercise and movement in general is good for the mood. My mood is always so much better after BJJ than before.

I'm a naturally curious and inquiring person so I'll try almost anything at least once or a few times or many times to see if there is something to it (or at least I used to be this way). That being the case I have had several people that claimed to do energy healings or attunements or what ever they called them on me. I never noticed anything at all.... ever.

The thing is the efficacy of psychotherapy has been shown through both experience and clinical research. How is one to know what the efficacy of your method is?

I would imagine a site like this wouldn't really attract anybody or very few people who are 0/4. But I think out in the general public there are lots of them.

I don't think a person would do 1/4 exclusively but as a matter of emphasis or maybe not and they are well rounded.

I'm curious about your view on body only cultivation. I ask because I seem to be drifting in that direction because of the results I get.

Objective means what is actually happening in reality. For example if you go to a movie and the movie is playing on the screen, that is an objective fact. Subjective means one's personal experience with something. So going back to our movie example, the objective fact is that the movie is playing. A subjective response to that movie would be how various people like or didn't that movie. Hope that makes sense.

It's called the "Wen Bing Xue"

This is actually very common. As an acupuncturist usually when a new patient comes in for stress for example. Often they are amazed at how "high" they feel after the first treatment. Very often they gradually become disappointed that they feel this high less and less. It's not because something is wrong, its just the law of diminishing returns. If a patient comes in and after the first treatment we reduce their stress by 50% the next time if we reduce it by 50% again, compared to the original stress that is only 25%. And if we reduce it 50% again that is only like 12% of the original. It is a sign that things are improving. The goal isn't to be "high" but to be healthy. Being high isn't a sign of advanced cultivation. Otherwise every pot head is an advanced cultivator.

There are so many ways "heat" can get in the body, there is a whole ancient text just about that.

Basically he's distinguishing between objective reality and subjective experience.

1. You say that modern humanity understands world better than our ancestors. Yes 2. Secondly you say they were "hunter-gathers" Yes 3. Yes, probably they were... but 50 000+ years ago Yes and more recently than that as well. 4. a. I know you can bring many sources on that... Good, I'm excited to see them. b. but you should be aware who writes these "scientific" works, Scientists do.

What is it that you want me to prove? Also asking for evidence for what someone believes or thinks isn't "blaming".

Frame of reference yes. Orbital position no.

I wouldn't call a sustained sense of all being a bottleneck. I would call that quite an accomplishment! Okay but you feel like something's missing. Can you identify what it is that you feel is missing?

Sorry to hear that. And you weren't even trying to make that happen... geez.

Did you notice emotional stuff coming up when you did yours? I sure did, big time!

I don't want to sound dense but what exactly is the point of the MCO. When I began I was told do the MCO, and I was like "ok". After a while though I thought "why am I doing this". I never really understood so I stopped.

Thanks for mansplaining my feelings to me.

I think the problem with the word "enlightenment" is that it is too ambiguous. It seems to mean something different to everyone. There is the Buddhist definition of course which is quite technical, but to others it means very different things. So I think its important to establish which "enlightenment" we are speaking about when we discuss the topic.

Really, my being a little silly really ruined your day that much? :-( ..... sorry

Like at the grocery store and stuff?
