Just read Freeform's post and the same thought crossed my mind... very accurately written. Well done!

"is it all for naught?" quite a dilemma this is- dissatisfaction...

I too hope i am wrong. I have not uttered one word about enlightenment. All i pointed out was one of many paths that can be used to shed old habits. When all neuroses is let go off, what remains? Levels are useful as a guide when one is climbing the mountain, they are like steps. However, some may choose to walk the pathless path. Those that do have no use for steps and levels. There are 'safe' paths but they take longer. Swifter ways are available but they can be hazardous, or even detrimental to the initiate. Best avoided unless there is proper guidance available. Its delusions that are supernatural... our natural state is untainted and is free from all delusions. _/\_

Just some passing info.... Chinese businesspeople are extremely picky about their 'numbers'. They avoid the number 4 at all costs, be it for the house, car or business address. 4 means 'death' in Chinese. Its a taboo number. Numbers they would 'kill' for would be 3, 33, 333, 3333 (trans. as 'to live well'), and 8, 88, 888, 8888, which is supreme for auspiciousness as this number 8 symbolizes Prosperity. In places like Hong Kong, Macau, China, Singapore and Malaysia, addresses with such numbers or combinations of such numbers (for e.g. 3388, 3838, 3888, 3338, 8383 etc) are prime properties that will fetch premium rental rates and selling prices. One amazing fact to note is that vehicle number plates that contain these numbers are literally worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and one can see the frenzy to possess such valuable plates at specific 'number plate auctions' that are held occasionally in these various places. Here's an article that expands a little on what has been said above: http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/Owners/Story/A1Story20090212-121510.html ............88888888888888888......................

The fun thing about enlightenment is that the one who IS will tell you (If he/she is truthful) that there is actually no such thing as "enlightenment". Figure that out?

Hello there! Found this article which might interest the OP: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/anna_jones1/experiences.html perhaps you could consider taking leave of three y3ars to explore the Himalayan regions... a small price to pay considering how fervently you desire 'Powers'? Wishing you the very best, and may your siddhis be granted.

Cool guy! Absolutely spot-on the things he said about watching the self and making conscious 'change' decisions. Thank you for posting them Nac. A follow-up yielded this little report (great story btw...) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arthur-rosenfeld/pay-it-backwards-an-act-o_b_151793.html

Here is a presentation by Ayya Khema entitled "Why Meditation"? Some points to ponder with regards to your question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6oL_sSGb4k Wish you all the best!

Correct posturing optimizes the flow of 'subtle' energies which then allows discursive thoughts to subside more readily. There are other explanations but the primary one would be this i believe. Unconsciously hunching the back during meditation sometimes leads to a kind of stupor, and if left unchecked can occasionally induce a form of 'blankness' or 'whiteness' which funnily enough some would mistake as a 'blissful voidness'.. and then think they have achieved a high level realization when in truth it was more like a form of mental numbness that pervaded the body-mind. lol

When we forgive, we immediately and consciously release the powerfully negative grip the offending person/situation has on us. When forgiveness is refused or denied, the only person left in the prison is ourselves. Have a listen to what this man has to say. Its from a Christian perspective, but the wisdom and the spirit of the speaker transcends all creeds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4WUsr689Y4&feature=related thanks for watching. have a good weekend y'all PS - Enjoyed your posts Sundragon. Wise words indeed.
