Curious to hear what you people here think . Article about girl marrying dog invoked a train of thoughts on this today .. Everything is subject to change . What about traditions ( spiritual ) ? Is it better if they move with times and are altered ? At what point is this best recgonised ? Would you be able to recgonise it ? Does a tradition that has been unchanged stagnate ? Is there a totally unchanged tradition ? Should taboos be broken ? Or is there deep wisdom embodying taboos that shoud not be tempered with ? All taboos or just some ? What is a relationship between traditions and taboos ?

true . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2741901/The-husband-s-real-hound-Girl-18-marries-stray-dog-bizarre-Indian-tribal-ritual-designed-ward-evil-spirit.html

What about western supremacy syndrom , obssesion with technology and consumerism ,destroying the earth and having a mental/emotional age as general population of not even a teenager ? Is this not an illness and disease of sort that is destroying lifes on so many levels ? Just look at what people eat these days , privatisation of water GMO crops , new born mothers are being advised not to breast feed ...etc -- from which "spots" does this come from ? This is very dark indeed . How balanced and healthy is that ? So we are not in any superior position , dont see any higher vibes in here .

“The Square” is a metaphysical photographic series developed by Seoul-based Korean photographer Seokmin Ko. The artist portrays an existential approach of being one with you and your surroundings, addressing ideas of normalcy and identity. http://www.emptykingdom.com/photography/the-square-by-seokmin-ko/

I saw what he is doing and thought to myself -- only in Inida ( well , at least in this way ). If you watch this video he explains a bit about his work and background , it is interesting . Yoga and /or tantra in many shapes and forms is still very present in India , and many family lines preserve it , also mostly everyone learns to meditate at some point . (This does not of course implies that everyone is spiritual or something , just stuff is more accesible and not considered so unusual )

Nice to see you Captain !

i dont believe in 100% egoless human either and hardly ever use the word myself . However I find Machig Labrdon really inspiring , and wonder if the word ego is often a too rigid translation for many teachings .

That is unusual .

Or as Machig Labrdon herself said : As long as there is an ego, there are demons. When there is no more ego, There are no more demons either! This is an interesting short video to watch

Yes I have had same expirience and think you may be looking at me through glasses that are coloured by your own past . I have never actually thought of questions that you proposed or alluded I was thinking and I am glad you have stopped limiting yourself in that respect . As the matter of fact I do not really care about chakras , or think about them . Maybe I used to 10 years ago . I was just discussing technicalities which may or may not be important depending where the person is at , that is all .

I will have to say here for all general disbilievers out there( no one specific ) , that I am very sceptical if someone who consider themselves to be serious cultivator and has no idea what their dreams are about and how they connect to waking life . Further more sceptical if someone is not at least sometimes awake/aware to some degree within dream as this is just natural continuation of being aware during waking state .

Hey , the feeling of union in Ajna chakra is becouse councioussnes does not indetify with elements , it is in "vacuum". Yeh many tools in one tool box . The numbering of chakras is very large -- as there is so many nadis in the body and not just major ones ida and pingala where major chakras are situated . This is def not new age mumbo jumbo , quite the opposite actually . Will provide link for scripture if found . 7 main ones -- becouse they have largest role in governing the human body .
