I cant bear to listen to this na bs anymore. bye

this is like something out of Wizzy Ozzy

Did you just mention 'realize' again, Jeff?? After you hastily reminded me that this thread is not about realization?? You're a bold one.

Im adding fuel to my visitations only for the express purpose of snatching Rene's leaderboard gold cup, one that she's been clinging on to for too long. Thats the honest truth.

How do you account for the percentage figures? You just know, right? In real esoteric practices practitioners learn to make and channel energy. Feeling energy is amateur stuff - irrelevant and easily subjected to contamination/delusion.

You know what they say, old habits die hard.

You have such a habit of self-contradiction.

That's what you say, which incidentally sounds like something a magician would pull out of a hat, Jeff. Unsubstantiated by any literature on this subject. I have read almost all the texts on the higher tantras, and not one has referenced anything even remotely resembling your loops, polarities and 5th chakra realisation. Furthermore, i dont think you have a clue what a coarse body even means.

Exactly. Vedanta Buddhism does not posit one mind nor many minds.

Not according to some quarters, who would assert otherwise. It cannot be Zen either if you insist on the presence of an individually existent field of awareness that appears to arise in a 'you', or a 'me', or a 'they'.

Unfortunately, truly loving sex, if anything, only serves to tighten the knots of becoming, and at the same time strengthens the delusion of proximate liberation by letting one or both partners experience a fleeting sensation that only has a slight semblance of the Bliss that the tantras speak of. This is one of the hardest samsaric habit to overcome due to the intense pleasure factor whereby one is removed from all bodily and mental taints for a few short seconds. Those who think they are spiritually inclined will tend to assume they are experiencing some sort of transcendence at the heightened levels of arousal without realising that coarse bodies are simply coarse bodies, and no amount of sexual union between coarse bodies will bring forth or generate a subtle body, which is the actual body that needs to be manifested in order to access the secret door. edit to add: If transmutation is not effected, the continued indulgence (in sex) will strengthen the level of coarseness even more as time passes.

Thats more Vedantic. Definitely only half Buddhist.

youtube?

Relatively speaking, it is not a bad idea to have the ability to discern between right and wrong. In fact, its quite vital, i believe.

Yes, thanks. Have heard of this before. It also happens to be a teaching found in the Bahiya Sutta. https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/ud/ud.1.10.than.html

The question of side effects duration, I think its impossible to say without proper in-person consultation, so if you are concerned, it might be worth visiting a trained TCM/Ayurvedic/Tibetan medical practitioner. Or even your GP if necessary. If you want to go it alone, then generally speaking lots of rest, lots of warm water (no beers please), camomile tea, soft foods... these are some of the nourishing and gentle healing modalities that you can effect easily. Next time, prepare in advance before doing any radical or semi-radical detox. Without this, the body (incl. the subtle one) may be prone to some kind of trauma or shock, and this might be what has happened in this instance. Rather than performing impulse-like detox, I'd recommend soft detox, something that can even be done daily if you wish. You can read up on this, focussing on diet, organ cleansing (liver in particular), and immune system. Personally, I dont do radical detoxing anymore, opting instead to include a spectrum of foods and supplements that keeps the body clean all the time. Some of the intakes include beetroot, pumpkins, squashes, red cabbage, paprikas, fresh turmeric, coriander, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, probiotics, highly fibrous vegetables like kale, watercress, bitter melon, chards etc, and tinctures of echinacea, milk thistle and stinging nettle. When in season, it pays to collect wild stinging nettles for consumption, like maybe once a week. Highly beneficial. If your diet cannot do without alcohol, then a regular intake of milk thistle will fortify/tonify your liver to withstand the hammering it gets. Generally, if you really care for health, consume as little cold, fizzy drinks as possible - none at all, if you can. This is a universally gradual health-destroying habit that unfortunately has dug very deep, with dire, indirect, and extremely negative consequences.

Detox is where toxins are flushed from the body. Did you expect the body to remain calmly settled when this process is initiated? How agitated the body gets during detox would largely depend on how much waste gets churned up, what sort of lifestyle one has, and the level of one's mental dexterity. It is best to gather proper info as well, just to avoid any hazards or pitfalls. It should not be carried out if one lacks a systematic approach.

Since everything is but an apparition, Perfect in being what it is, Having nothing to do with good and bad, Acceptance or rejection, You might as well burst out laughing! ~ Longchenpa ~

Since you have made reservations to change it, you can always choose to exercise that option anytime you wish

If you really knew what subtle mind is, you will laugh too. When you think you know, thats when things become a little stiff.

Enlightenment is a water nipple in a ripple. Got it.

emptiness is the benevolent ground that fulfils all desires, good and bad. Good or bad is self-made. So are excuses and truths. Emptiness is the changing landscape and the weather. It is the water that leaves the tap cold, and leaves the kettle hot. It is the only force that separates and binds at the same time. Emptiness, the vast expanse beyond beginning and ending, supports all beings' wishes. It is like a carousel that spins round and round, and none on the rides know of first or last. Empty of desires, fullness is attained. Conundrums all ~~ Love them.

Wonderful! Just like shoes are redundant when one is lying on the bed, or dreaming of dreams.

What is the use of the idea that 'I' speak, rather than there is just speaking? Why does there have to be an 'I' that sees, rather than just seeing? Why 'I' feel, rather than just feeling? If the idea of 'I' were not there, would there still be speaking, seeing, and feeling? Of course there would be! This 'I' comes in after the fact and claims all that is happening as it's own, when in reality these things would take place with or without the idea of an 'I' doing them. It is unnecessary, incorrect, and counterfeit. This is the great lie, the great illusion, that this thought of 'I' is responsible, when really it is only a deception, an afterthought masquerading as the doer of all that is happening. ~ One Without A Second ~
