books are just maps.. some maps are better than others.. but in the end, the best map is within yourself.. EDIT: the best map is the map within yourself compiled of data from other people's maps... you have to analyse which parts of other maps suit you and use these separate bits and pieces to compile the best map for yourself..

sorry for you loss but there are books and there are BOOKS but in the end, no book is gonna help you overcome your human ego and it is your human ego which is upset at your wife's miscarriage it is not that books are useless.. it is becos you have not found the right books yet and still fail to realize the trappings of the human ego..\ separate the wheat from the chaff

請問在台灣那了可以找到密宗師父? 謝謝你

There are yogis who can turn wine into water. There are also yogis who can have sex with more than a few women every night and never feel drained. And there are also yogis who party all night every night. However, these yogis have reached inner enlightenment inside at least. They have done years of hard meditative work on themselves in order to see the emptiness in everything. On the other hand, schmucks like NON have not even began the road to enlightenment yet. If these type of schmucks engage in women, wine and party every night, they will die a drained old man by the age of 45 and would not even do a single day of meditation in their lives. So yes, please put things in perspective and see the difference between Non and Yogi Drukpa Kunley. Both are totally different class of beings altogether.

It is a start. If you don't start, you will never reach the end of the road. This advice to NON costs nothing to me. What you suggested will cost me everything and will mean my death before I reach enlightenment. Check out my post regarding human and divine ego. It is only when I reach inner enlightenment then do i try to help the masses as dictated by the universe. But definitely not before then.

You can help as many women as you want. Me, I am only interested in helping myself achieve enlightenment. Then once I achieve the powers which come along with enlightenment, then I will think about helping other people. If you cannot even help yourself achieve enlightenment or even curb your own desires, what right do you have to help others?

Just watched the movie Limitless.. The male lead was asked where he got his mental powers of analysis, clairvoyance, precognition, speed memory and other psychic powers from.. He replied cheekily "Special Medication (Meditation)" To achieve enlightenment or even to access the higher faculties of your brain, you have to first destroy the human ego in order to let the divine ego emerged. The human ego is what's preventing us from accessing our higher mental powers, faculties, our higher selves so as to speak.. Once you can access your higher self, divine ego and work with your higher mental faculties, then you can safely erase any sexual issues which you have. The point is how do you access your higher self especially for lust-driven animals? Curbing one's desires is a start. The key is to reach one's higher mind. Anything else is secondary.

First off, Jetsun, how do know that everybody in the West has hundreds of years of sexual repressive conditioning to work through? Do you have the magical third eye which allows you to view the past lives of each and every person in the West? Sexual Lust are just energy patterns worked into your subconscious from your past lives. If you have done enough mantra work and other negative energy removal practices to remove such past energy patterns from your subconscious and unconscious, then you don't have to worry about the energies of sexual lust coming to haunt you again and undermine any future progress you make. There are some in here like NON who has so much problems with women that they just can't settle down and meditate in order to work through their problems. I suspect some human spiritual master or demonic entity is throwing the energy patterns of sexual lust at NON so that he is prevented from committing himself into a successful spiritual practice. Lots of good advice on practices have been given to NON from many, many well-meaning posters in here but there isn't a single reply from him saying he will take up such practices in order to curb his lust. I do not single NON out to punish him but there are many men like him who suffer due to their lust and I only want to heal them. May I refer to The Dalai Lama's Secret Temple: Tantric Wall Paintings from Tibet? These murals in this book present a host of figures engaged in the basic cycles of life or practicing Tantric meditation techniques in pursuit of inner transformation. Instead of rejecting desire as other Buddhist practices do, Tantra harnesses this intrinsically human drive and turns it into "boundless compassion." So powerful and potentially dangerous is this path to spiritual awakening, only the most enlightened of Tibetan Buddhist monks are initiated into the tradition. You know, in the Shurungama Sutra, it is said that in the end times, there are many spiritual masters who are demons inside. Why is that? Because they keep preaching sexual love is the right way to cultivate. Thus they fail to differentiate between love in the deva manner i.e. love without the hunger for sex and love in the asura/animal/human manner i.e. love with hunger for sex at the same time. Right now, I see many demons of "love" in this thread. Can you practice love for a woman not related by blood, demons, without hungering for sex with her at the same time? If you pass by Jessica Alba on the streets, can you show love for her as though she is your sister and not hunger for sex with her as though she is your wife? If not, then please do not talk to me about love as you are still in the states of lust. With that said, one can always participate in sexual cultivation practices of course. Provide one has had his spiritual senses opened and has progressed far enough in his spiritual path to sense intrusions on his soul by human spiritual masters or demons which will cause him to lose control of his mental faculties. One must also be able to eliminate the sexual energy patterns of past lives from one's subconscious. If you have not progressed far enough on your spiritual path but still wanna engage in sexual practices, then you will definitely fall into the lower paths of reincarnation. So powerful and potentially dangerous is this path to spiritual awakening, only the most enlightened of Tibetan Buddhist monks are initiated into the tradition.

I was watching this talk-show a few days ago. A psychologist ask various members of the audience which characters would they choose to be in Cinderella. Most girls choose Cinderella obviously and the guys chose to be the handsome dashing Prince. There was one girl however who chose to be the Witch. When the psychologist asked her why, that girl said that it was the Witch who made everything possible for the romance to happen. Without the magick of the Witch, how is Cinderella gonna find the means to procure the Chariot, the Horses, the Driver and her Dress? It is like, regardless of how hardworking Cinderella may be, there won't be any miracles until the Witch blessed her.

The Creator, The Dao and the higher forces of the Universe (whatever you call it) created this game-system where we are the players. In this game, we are plagued by the ego and the need for sex but this need for sex is inbuilt in each of us so that we can find love through sex. This is why there are so many damn crap on TV and in the movies about sex and love, sex and love, sex and love and hardly any truths about the real game itself. The real game is finding love through higher consciousness. If you can find the love through higher consciousness, then you could skip the lower animal steps of finding love through sex. Thus the existence of the deva, asura, human and animal realms. Lower realms of life-forms have to seek love through sex but higher life-forms can find the love through consciousness alone. As a lama recently told me, you can avoid the game by jumping out of the loop and this meditation on revulsion of the human body is not the be-all and end-all but it is a start for lust-driven men like Non. Destroy your lust first and other attachments and seek love through the higher consciousness. That way, you can become a gamemaster instead of being a player.

Jeez, I came here with a technique to help men control their sexual lust and you say this is me projecting my issues into others? LOL. Btw, didn't I say that the highest buddhist lamas do engage in sexual tantric practices? But that is only AFTER they cut off their lust for sex. Cutting off your desire and lust for sex doesn't mean you can't participate in sex. It simply means you are having sex without the hunger in your mind and loins. So how is this an aversion to femininity? Apparently, you are not wise enough not to look at a gift-horse in the mouth. Don't criticize without first understanding the game. And judging by your remarks, you understand very little indeed.

I like to add some outlooks on lust from a gnostic forum. http://gnosticteachings.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1400 Samael teaches that if the image of a beautiful woman (or man) were to reach the mind (impression), to imagine the woman growing old, wilting and dying, just as the beautiful flower wilts and dies. Our bodies are contructed from, and composed of, the matter of the four elements of the physical plane (Malkuth) and will return through the process of decay like any other physical being...this deserves reflection. One can take this a step further and reflect on the body itself both internally and externally. For instance, if the woman (or man) in your dream was to have all of the skin peeled off of her body, exposing all of the muscles, blood, etc. you may be less likely to identify with, and desire that image. Gotama Sakyamuni, Nagarjuna, Santideva and others within the Buddhist traditon give powerful antidotes for dealing with lust and transforming the images and impressions associated. These meditations are designed to reflect on the body as it is, within and without. Some of the teachers describe the body as a sewer filled with excrement, snot, urine, etc. Reflecting on the body this way in meditation can dispell some of the ignorance that lies at the feet of lust. Reflecting on the body in this way, when confronted with images and impressions of "attractive" bodies or bodies we desire is repulsive. Repulsive is defined as, "to drive away or repel." In this case one can "drive away" lust and identification by reflecting on the body as it truly is... ....an organic sewer made of the four elements that produces excrement, urine, and snot that will decay into mud.... Obviously, if we are identified with our own bodies then we will be identified with other's bodies. Additionally, if we are identified with the physical plane then we are subject to the associated ignorance and its consequences. (See writings on SOL and awakening the consciousness) If we are identified with images as realities rather than representations or reflections then we will suffer the consequences of our ignorance, the sleep of the consciousness. (See the Dream Yoga course) The impression that triggered the lust must be comprehended also. The relationship between external event (impression) and the internal state (reaction) is a must know. This reminds us of the wonderful teachings of dependent origination. (See Karma course) One must also comprehend Kant's "the exterior is a reflection of the interior," in relation to internal states and so-called "external" events. (See Revolution of Dialectic and others) One must comprehend sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste. Meditation on the 5 senses is necessary to transcend physical identification with images, forms, bodies, and is the ground work that leads to not identifying with internal images as well. "The clairvoyant falls into error when he or she takes the image for reality" - Rudolf Steiner The Buddha, in the Sutra on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, goes through meditation on the body's repulsive parts, meditation on the four elements, meditation on the senses, as well as the Charnal Ground Contemplations associated with death and decay of the body. These teachings and meditations are essential...and beautiful...and absolutely practical and effective. I have found that egos associated with lust and identification with the body don't like it when the antidotes are applied...which is a good sign. They will resist, tell you stories, and generally make it feel uncomfortable to do so. Therefore it is important to expect and calculate the inevitable resistance. Lust has roots in ignorance and identification. The seemingly harmless manifestations of lust that you spoke of: QUOTE Should I instead begin meditating on the more seemingly harmless manifestations of lust, like perhaps looking at women or thinking about them? ...are feeding the egos of lust that are associated with the near falls and falls in the night. The reactions in the three brains caused by those impressions need to be photographed and then cancelled. We can't afford to allow them to linger and waste energy or perhaps strengthen existing egos. We obviously fornicate emotionally and mentally with those impressions. Additionally, the impression that triggered the lust must be comprehended. Therefore one must comprehend sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste...as well as memory (untransformed impressions). Those impressions need to be transformed before you go to sleep. Do not allow the sun to set on your lust. Samael states in the Revolution of the Dialectic that, "One is devolving if the digestion of impressions does not exist." I suggest studying the book Revolution of the Dialectic, particularly the chapters on rest therapeutics, transformation of impressions, and the mental stomach. Samael's writings on Awakening the Consciousness and Subject Object Location (as in Perfect Matrimony, Lamasery, etc.) are also a necessity for the transformation of impressions, with respect to comprehending identification, fascination, and sleep the of the consciousness, as well as awakening and non-identification. The Buddha Sakyamuni terrifically walks us through these issues and antidotes in the Mahasatipatthana Sutra, or The Greater Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness. He is teaching non-identification, mindfulness. Santideva speaks simply and directly about this in A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life. These resources and reflections have assisted me greatly...Perhaps they will be helpful for you.

Scandulous behaviour were found cos the priests and monks are too weak to withstand the demonic forces of sexual lust. Sexual energy can be both benign or evil. It is only when you turn sexual energy into kundalini energy for cultivation then can true enlightenment be attained. This practice is a practice to turn wasteful usage of sexual energy into kundalini energy for cultivation. Including sexual cultivation if need be. http://www.amazon.com/Dalai-Lamas-Secret-Temple-Paintings/dp/0500510032/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1301053184&sr=8-3 This book is about how the highest levels of tibetan lamas practice tantra sex in order to cultivate. But before they engage in tantra sexual cultivation, first of all, they have to control their mind and their basic animal lusts. Otherwise, their human ego will take over and they will become mad. Ie this practice is to help you control your sexual energy instead of being controlled by it. Any aspersions cast on this wonderful practice of cutting off the demons of sexual lust is akin to demons calling down buddhist practices, I am sorry to say. If it works for the monks, it will definitely work for other humans as well. I strongly recommend that you refrain from any further criticisms which the gods might look upon as demonic.

This is not a practice of aversion to women. This is a practice about eliminating sexual lust. You can deceive yourself into thinking that being controlled by sexual lust and achieving enlightenment at the same time is possible. Do you think this is insightful behavior? Or are you going to call this theravada practice a demonic practice? You know, when the buddha meditated under the bodhi tree, a host of demons tried to interrupt his meditation by throwing stones and sticks at him. You sound very much like one of those demons.

It works and that is all that matters. This post is numbered 111 for a good reason.

These practices can be found on bloody wikipedia which means the masters have deem it suitable practices for the general public. They are meant to cut off the uncontrolled desire and lust for sex. If you can control your desire and lust to the point where you can increase or decrease your lust just by thought and willpower alone, then these practices are below you. A true enlightened master can and will eliminate lust when it is not needed for sex. On the other hand, he should be able to turn on his sexual desire again for dual/single sexual energy cultivation when it comes to that. Sexual energy is nothing more than kundalini afterall. In essence, a true enlightened master is suppose to turn on and off the sexual lusts and desires as easily as a tap. BTW, I have tried using this meditation for the last 30 minutes while walking on the streets and it works wonders! I felt immediate revulsion instead of attraction to the woman's body.

I have just watched the Adjustment Bureau. Found it to be quite a spiritual film. It is a film about a politician fighting against some angels/ETs who are in the business of controlling the destinies of humans in order to get together with the love of his life. The male lead is destined to be the president of the united states and the female lead is destined to be a world-famous dancer/choreographer but if he gets together with this particular woman, both of them lose their pre-planned destinies. 1) Came up with a taoist-like riddle for you guys. Which character in the film would you like to be? Is it the male lead, the female lead or Harry the angel/ET? 2) Another taoist riddle would be.. If you are David and destined to be the president of the US, would you give it up for the love of your life?

first off, there is a huge world of difference between soul disintegration and the death of the physical body.. soul disintegration can occur even if you are bill gates or george bush.. the more evil deeds you do, the more evil your soul become, and the more your soul will disintegrate.. disintegrated souls are normally reborn as animals or in environments of much suffering... secondly, i will rather be a servant of the gods than to be a slave of men.. as far as i am concerned, no man in the world, regardless of how rich, how intelligent or how spiritually powerful, has the authority to command me to do anything against my wishes..

You do not know how to read the energies of a woman and how to say the right words to invoke the positive energies of intimacy. If you are good enough, just looking into the eyes of a woman will reveal everything about her. Social cues are just the icing on the cake. This is why I keep saying everyone should learn but nobody here is paying attention or at least those that do anyway are keeping their mouths shut. Wise men they are.

Only those men that fall prey to animalistic lusts and behave like animals go crazy over a biological body which is vulnerable to the ravages of time. Once you visualize a woman defecating, i wonder why any sane man would wanna have sex with that woman, irregardless of how beautiful she is.. However some men would have sex with animals anyway but that is another story.

You are being a hypocrite here. If a person likes being a hermit, disconnected from the rest of humanity and just wanna live out the rest of his life in peace, what is wrong with that? Who are YOU to dictate how anyone should live his or her life? Does it ever occur to you that you are being　rude too by criticizing the life of those so-called "hermits"? Everybody has his or her own version of how the world is right now and how the world should be. If some guy says this world is fucked up and wanna live on an island disconnected from the rest of humanity, I say this is his choice and no one here, not you not me has any right to criticize his choice on how to live his life. Otherwise you are no different from the very rude hermit who thinks that the world does not conform to his standards and thus the world does not deserve him. Cos you will just be as rude as him in trying to conform others to your own biased standards and way of living.

The only reason why some souls choose to become monks or become celibate is because it is much easier to destroy your human ego than if you are married, have kids or have a partner. As you progress higher and higher on the path, the negative spiritual demons will throw more and more obstacles and problems at you including creating problems through your spouse/partners/kids.. Look at you, non, all your hang-ups about who is better.. men or women.. about how some men is going to be left alone.. all your worries seem.. so ... laughable.. As I said before, someone who knows how to tap into the forces of the universe to bring happiness into his life ain't gonna worry the least bit about women.. cos they know how to get women anytime they want to .. But that is not the name of the game nor is it the true purpose of life.. Anyway, i know your ego is twisting you inside out so you can't grasp the full meaning of my words.. but that is alright.. some souls are meant to be trapped in the cycle for eternity..

there are several levels of immortals.. infinite levels actually.. when you get to become a level 1 immortal, you will definitely wanna progress to level 2 .. and when you are level 2, you will want to progress to level 3.. enlightenment is a never-ending road..
