It much better to use the head to balance teapots than to use it in thinking...

Amazing video! Thanks a lot! Ive studied medicine and know how complexe these things are. Ive also studied consciousness and also know it is even more complex. But De_Paradise, this is not an excuse to dump negative chi, or any kind of energy, on other people. We give out shitty energy all the time, on many many levels, but when we become aware of it, it is our responsibility to atleast change it into uplifting energy. And yes, negative energy is food for other organisms. But it is mostly food for organisms keeping our patterns active. Just like organisms in the body make us crave for sugar. This does not mean sugar is good for us. We should have disipline with our selves. Like Cat say, keep the cleansing to some hours of the day, do it safely without harming other people or the surroundings. This is no different, and no harder to control, no more complex, than waiting to take a shit until you sit on the toilet. It might be that you are at a totally different level than I think, and that what Im say just dosent fit your experience. This is the difficulty of written communication. But I still want to say it because it is an important point. Lets call it "energetic ethics". If you enter a room where people have done a lot of healing and energetic cleansing, the energies get stuck in the walls and surrounding and it affects people entering that room later. If you buy a house from a couple who has spent the last years arguing, you will feel the conflict too but not know where it comes from. These things affect us anyway. People doing healing and similar things, on themselves or others, need to keep things clean. Its no different than keeping things clean at the hospitals.

Yeah, I can see how mathematics and limited understanding is projected onto other independent traditions, but why is it a lie and a scam? I tried to read your blog, and from what I could make out of it, you say new age is connected to CIA and mindcontrol experiences, right? This is a super-conspiracy, a conspiracy theory about the conspiracy theorizers Where does it end!

These are very important points! And, because you are able to see it, feel it and experience it, it really IS within your control to direct it and guide it so that it dosent disturb other people.

I would advice you to send the dirty energy down to the earth center insted of shaking it off on people at the coffee shop These things are very subconscious and subtle for people. We cant expect them to feel it, even though they are affected by it. Also, when you blast of the dirty chi out of your head, I hope you remember to fill yourself up again with clean chi...

Wonderful! If we look at nature, at first glance it looks symmetric. But if we take a closer look it really isnt. There are errors all over the place! And that is what makes beautiful and fascinating! My girlfriends sister is an artist and she gave us an abstract picture that really got my attention. I looked at it for many days without realizing why this pictue was so fascinating. It looked just like any other abstract pictures, but had a little touch of something else. Then suddenly I noticed that every line was broken, and every field of colour was uncomplete. But Drew, have you read The Keyes of Enoch by J.J.Hurtak? He uses pretty much the same kind of scientific language that you do and talks a lot about how consciousness and matter is related.

No, Ive never met Master Li, but Ive done hs qigong for many years. I just like the name and it was the only experience I had with qigong when I joined this forum You can check out my teacher here if you want; http://www.amati.org/

This is a secret so deep we can never understand it - only listen to it My teacher say that once you learn to listen there are no secrets, everything becomes obvious. This is the only ability we need in our developement.

Jet Li and jackie Chan!? Ive been waiting for it but now that I see them it looks like a strange combination... But the movie looks great. Cant wait!

There is one here already. Here. We are full of energysystems, energychannels and points. Beginners textbooks, but also experienced teachers, say that they all correlate. That the meridians are the nadis, chakras are dan tiens, etc. As if we only have one energetic system running through our physical body. We have hundres of systems and functions running our consciousness, just like we have hundreds of systems and functions running our body. But for cultivating, it is never clever to mix systems. That would be like mixing blood with lymphatic fluid. Not good Worst case cenario it will create damages, but mostly it will only make none of the practices work as they should.

ok, I realize that "the light" dose not mean "shen". I guess shen is described later as "seed-water", "spirit-fire" and " thought-earth", which is shen, qi and jing, right?. Or not? Im not into taoist terminology, but Im trying to understand. But then, what is meant by "the light"? Is it some spiritual light like the holy spirit, higher consciousness, or something? I thought we were supposed to circulate qi in the MCO. But this text says "light". Anybody care to comment?

hahaha

Thought so.

Just finished watching Zeitgeist. Not so much new things but one thing struck me as important, that I havent heard anyone talk about. They said that there are no laws that makes you pay income tax i USA. Is that really true? How many of you are not paying taxes? And if it is true, how many of you are still paying taxes??? In norway we get 3 weeks(I think) in jail if we dont pay taxes. There is one guy in here who is famous for going to jail every year

I read this version of Secrets of the golden flower. Im wondering about something. In the first chapter, is "light" a translation of "shen"?

Great advice! I dont know Mantak Chias stuff, but I have a general comment. I believe that when a practice has thousands of practicioners and is not a secret practice, there will always be someone who will be damaged, hurt, negative and angry with the method, its teachers and espescially the orginator. Because the teacher dosent have the time and ability to personally guide and oversee each and everyones development, there will allways be someone who do it wrong and experience sideeffects, or someone who pushes their own limits to the breakingpoint. Just like with drugs, hahaha...actually, many people seek these things just like other people seek drugs. That alone will create damages and sideeffects. This dosent really say anything about safety of the method, only the mechanisms of human consciousness. It will happen to any method that has thousands of practicioners.

Found dragon tiger gate here, full version and subtitles! http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1103948akCPjK9...9049&rank=9

Argh! But it might be worth it to learn chinese just to be able to watch these movies. Kung Fu Dunk! hahaha... Ive seen Shaolin Soccer, a great movie! Maby we'll soon see Wu Dang Cricket!

Ive read somewhere, in Nature I think, that at every moment human beings radiate over 4000 different odour molecules, where 300 of these are specific to each human being. My guess is that this is part of aura-reading where the brain might translate these subtle odours into light and colours. And Im shure there are thousands of other factors at play here too; IR radiation, heat radiation, eye condition, subtle body postures, etc, all giving their contribution to our overall view of the individual, and... our brains translation of it into aura-vision or energetic sensing. There is also a russian scientist called Fritz Popp who has discovered a way to measure the amount of biophotons radiation from any given thing. The biophotons are said to be released in any molecular reaction throughout the whole body. Very interesting research. I never mention that I see auras to anyone unless it comes up as a topic in conversation, and unless the people I am talking to are pople that are able to discuss it maturely. But I really love this types of conversation, and I love to hear other peoples experience with it, or discussing theories about it. And I experiment a lot with it in everyday life. Like choosing which fruit to buy by seeing which has the strongest aura, or watching the dynamics between people at work or in the subway, things like that. Its a lot of fun

I am one of those who claim to see auras. I dont claim to be an expert, but I see the outline, density, some colors and some other things. I see a lot more if I use my inner eye, but then I have all my mind-filters distorting the image so I dont really trust it, I just use it as a reference to confirm other things. Or as guidelines to where I could focus. Not as the truth above all thruths that only I am able to see about the other person... I dont think I fool myself or anybody else with this ability. Sometimes Ive seen who comes around the corner based on the feel I get from the aura, but it is not a consisent ability. So I must admit I dont think I will pass the test It would be fun to take the test, but even though I fail it, I would still see my aura vision as fun to experiement with.

What a great way to start the day! Coffee and kung fu movie! Where do you get these movies?

Youre a real cute couple! Have fun in Costa Rica. To Cameron: Love your new quote

Absolutely!

The "real thing" that I talk about is the difference in seeing the aura with your real eyes instead of visualizing it. Or feeling the central pillar in your body instead of visualizing it. Like I said before, the difference is like the difference between lifting your hand and visualize lifting you hand. And visualization dosent get any more "real" the higher you go in the spiritual realms. Visualization is a way for the mind to try and understand the impulses of the higher realms, it is not the impulses themselves. And when you get "higher", you drop visualization and start acting. I want to point to the fact that visualization is not the "real thing", its a tool you have to throw away once you've reached that which you try to reach by visualizing it.
