when you have reached enlightenment, you can assume the middle way.. when you have not even graduated from primary school, do you think you have the right the time the luxury to keep hanging around in primary school? don't be naive!

No, the answer lies in how much you are willing to sacrifice in order to reach enlightenment.. the lord buddha is willing to sacrifice his family and an entire kingdom worth of riches in order to seek enlightenment... how much are you guys willing to sacrifice in order to reach the ultimate goal? no the answer does not lie in which religions are better or worse.. the answer lies in how many how much are spiritual practitioners willing to sacrifice in their search for enlightenment.. i am sure in the past, there were some taoist masters who rejected the mundane world in favour of the spiritual.. too many taoist masters were offered imperial advisor posts by chinese emperors of the past and these taoist masters rejected all wealth and fame because they already found what they need in their enlightenment! unfortunately, modern taoist and other spiritual masters in taiwan and china stressed too much on the mundane world and not enough on the spiritual.. what a damn pity!

I understand now.. true spiritual progress can only be achieved by rejecting everything.. i mean everything about the mundane world.. and if it means foregoing food and water in your meditations, then so be it!.. this is only a goal which the highest spiritual practitioners can aspire to.. and I am sure not too many lay practitioners can follow in the highest masters' paths.. foregoing sex.. foregoing food and water.. how many of you can let go of the mundane world in your search for the true reality, the true nature of the universe?

And for those of you who claim that meditating for such a long time without food or water gives you nothing which can help you in life.. let me tell you a fact about spirituality.. only masters who have achieved much spiritual progress can go without food and water for long periods of time.. and i have not yet seen one single chinese master who achieve such similar feats.. hell, chinese masters can't even go without sex for long periods of time.. let alone food or water.. taoist practitioners are too driven by the baser animal impulses of life in order to achieve too much progress in spirituality! just look at the number of sex-driven posts in this forum!

The Buddha when he was in his human incarnation wasn't perfect but still he was far more evolved than any one else on the planet in his time and today.. He is certainly far more evolved than each and every one of his critic in this insignificant little thread.

A particular member has been spending so much time and energy posting in this forum about his frustrations with women and sex.. One wonders how much progress he can attain in his cultivation if he can channel the time and energy wasted on women and sex to spiritual practices or even other self-improvement practices.. Why do everybody thinks you need a family or a spouse in order to achieve enlightenment or even to lead a perfectly normal healthy life? Truth is, relationships and families are meant to drag you down.. they will always hinder you on the path to true enlightenment.. you need money to survive.. no doubt about that .. but you do not need a family or a spouse to survive.. 99% of the world's population today focus all their lives and energies on looking for a spouse to raise a family because they are trying to fill the hole in themselves with marriage and family.. this phenomenon exists in all cultures and all countries since the origins of mankind.. if one can only explore the emptiness or void inside them instead of trying to unsuccessfully fill the void, then one will have taken the next big step on the Path..

http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/18420-relationships-and-children-will-only-curb-your-spiritual-cultivation/page__view__findpost__p__258536 Blasto said this to me.. "Non and bodyoflight, separated at birth!! Dude, I feel yer pain, but it's obvious to anyone over 30 that you couldn't get laid to save your life. I had my dry spell in my early 20s too, right after I quit drinking, and as soon as I got healthier, the sex flowed like beer. I did try to rationalize this era as a "spiritual" period, but when I got sucked in by a gorgeous 40 yr-old kindergarten teacher in Denver, the no-sex spirituality lost its appeal. Quickly. " Should I feel angered or liberated by his remark that I can't get laid? If I am trying to destroy any sexual lusts in me, shouldn't I accept his remark as a compliment that I am already progressing on my spiritual path? Why does society measure a man or a woman by his or her ability to reproduce? Don't you all see it is a game designed to trap human beings and drain them before they can do any significant work on themselves? Why do you feel angry when I say you can't get laid? Do you measure your self-worth as a human being in the amount of times you get laid? Isn't that the animal consciousness at play then? These insights came about as a result of a 5 min meditation I just did. Came out of nowhere..

well i have never trolled like a few others in here.. did not go around hurling insults and stuff like that.. if one can't even train his or her own ego to withstand a few criticisms.. how are you gonna traverse down the path? consider my words as part of the tao training... or do you differentiate between good and bad tao training.. now if you are differentiating... that would be.. not realizing everything is one yet.

shaktimama has said that I played mindfcuk games.. blasto has said that I can't get laid to save my life.. if i am as sensitive as too many in here.. i would have reported these remarks as insults..

yes, you are right.. and then when such a person has achieved enlightenment.. he can choose to re-integrate himself into society and even marry if he chooses.. but not before he has cut off his animal ego..

i have decided to move to india for good and do nothing but meditation day in day out for the rest of my life.. there is some meager savings left in my account so luckily for me, india is a cheap place to live in.. low expenses and all that.. after analyzing the society of china and taiwan, i can safely conclude that there are very few chinese masters who are as high as the tibetans.. last week, i picked up a book by drunvalo called serpent of light.. it detailed the moving of earth's kundalini force from tibet to south america.. as of right now, i hate to say this but the tibetan masters are the highest masters in the world.. no doubt about it.. i imagine myself living a stress-free life from now on.. free of women.. free of screaming kids.. free of the stress of work .. no worry.. no stress.. just pure meditative peace.. damn .. life is good..

i wasn't the one who deleted this.. it must be cat

my experiences of children and spouses are far more negative than yours.. however it doesn't mean that i am necessarily referring to your children.. i don't even know who you are so why would i project any ill-feelings towards you?.. why have such a sensitive ego?

this is not what you said in your PM to me.. admit it.. your human ego is feeling threatened by the spiritual truths of my words.. and now you just wanna shut me up.. oh well.. do whatever.. the more adverse reactions in response to my words.. it means the animal egos in people are being threatened.. which means i am doing the right thing..

it is the conscious mind which lies to protects the animal egos.. the subconscious and the unconscious hold the residence of the divine ego.. i am basically tapping into my heart .. the divine ego.. the higher self when typing out these words.. when i say subconscious.. it is basically anything which the conscious mind isn't.. who can really differentiate between the subconscious and unconscious mind anyhow? all i know is.. i go in deeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp to search for answers..

i say the truth as i analyzed them.. apparently a few egos still can't handle the truth.. and they are working as mods.. omg..

i received a warning from you .. it said.. After some discussion, the moderator team is here issuing a private warning to you about your recent belittlement of others and offensive attititudes to women and children. After 3 in - thread requests from mods to be more civil, you have been given fair chance to modify your approach, therefore a repeat offence from you will result in a suspension. since when did i ever put down women and children? i merely say that the dramas of spouses.. men and women.. and screaming children are detrimental to cultivation.. this has been quoted by too many spiritual teachers in the past including shakyamuni buddha.. and now i get a warning for saying the truth? you are a woman, yes? if you are a woman, then a man would be detrimental to your cultivation.. yes.. so are you gonna put me down for criticizing men now? didn't i say that one must love a woman or a man like a sister or brother without any lusts in his thoughts in order to achieve the highest states of consciousness? what's the matter? can't handle the damn truth now so your ego is gonna shut me down? hey, i don;t give a damn.. shut me down for all you like.. the only people who's gonna lose out are your readers..

from my subconscious.. every word i say today is from my subconscious aka automatic writing.. i remember .. i feel the sense of being much stronger than the weak person which i am right now.. just a few minutes.. i suffered some sexual attacks again by some unclean spirits.. retaliation for what i say? i don't know.. all i can say is.. i am gonna work on my vajrakilaya practices as of right now..

congratulations! you have managed to discover the truth about.. "soul mates".. yes our mates get involve with us so that we can teach each other hard lessons in the way of life.. they are not here on earth to give us pleasures.. well some pleasures yes but more pain than pleasures.. only those truly strong enough to cut themselves out of the loop will save themselves such costly lessons.. what;s the saying again? if you don't tear apart your own ego, someone will tear apart your ego for you?

lust has everything to do with sex.. you are obviously not high enough to discern between lust and love let alone the highest form of love.. a dakini will honour shakyamuni buddha when he was human .. because he is willing to give up everything in order to reach enlightenment.. if a daikini wanna dismember me for telling the truth, then so be it.. life and death are just illusions in the game which we play.. you seem afraid of death.. does your ego still hold fears despite your practices?..

if you can only judge a person by his sexual life, then sadly, you are still a human with animal consciousness..

there was a member in here.. he spoke of getting dumped by a woman he loved so much.. then he went to yoga class not to meet people but to begin working on himself.. curiously enough, all the women in that class start gravitating towards him yet he has no interest in any of them.. all the women in that class were working on themselves too... i knew another guy.. he once had too much trouble going after women but once he stopped going after women and just concentrated on his work.. all the women began flocking back to him.. including those he rejected before.. this phenomenon has happened countless times not only to guys but to girls too.. i know of many players who have no difficulty going after beautiful bimbos who are only interested in sex, partying and clothes .. but when the same players take on a beautiful but smart woman.. and i am talking smart not in terms of being booksmart.. but smart in terms of being wise about life.. there ain't too many of such gems out there.. the same players who had no difficulties going after beautiful bimbos suddenly find their balls shrinking after meeting a beautiful but wise woman.. they want to fuck her real bad but just seem to shrink down in size after being dazzled by her mental and physical brilliance... i have tried to figured the mechanics behind this phenomenon for many years now.. and recently it makes sense.. the guy who wasn't interested in women but only interested in improving himself.. the girl who was not only beautiful but wise as well.. the guy who was working on himself has raised his consciousnesses to the point where he is feeling no sexual lust towards women.. the wise woman who disdains going to pubs, who disdains the obsession with fashion and who don't care two hoots about dicks... both of them have very high consciousness which naturally draw members of the opposite sex who possess lower consciousness to them.. this is why the PUAs can only work their magic on stupid women.. it is all a game of mental willpower .. but when the PUAs meet the mentally strong woman.. naturally the animal consciousness of the PUAs can't withstand the natural devic consciousness of the wise woman.. there ain't too many wise women or wise men around with high consciousness.. they are pretty popular consciousness is the game of life...

when you can love a member of the opposite sex with such devic consciousness, then when you do engage in tantric sex, the energy can flow with such power it will result in immediate force of enlightenment..

in my religion, i only ask a man or woman of similar age to love that woman/(man) as though she/(he) is his sister/(brother) with no thought of lust at all.. that is the highest form of love.. i have never spoken out against love and compassion.. only against lust and greed.. and between a martial couple.. there will always be lust and greed involved.. this is why no spiritual practitioner should ever engage in marital relationships unless he/(she) has already broken his/(her) ego.. if a man/(woman) ever see a beautiful woman/(man) with such a hot body and he/(she) only see her/(him) as his/(her) sister/(brother), then that is the highest, purest form of love.. a love without greed.. a love without lust.. a love borne out of sheer kindness.. if a daikini ever see any lust in me, i hope that she will destroy me completely.. i do hope that the daikinis will honour me one day for successfully cultivating the non-lustful love in me..

Why do people not try their best to get out of the cycle of rebirth and death? Why do they not see that the slow road causes suffering? Even those spiritual teachers who are married.. more than one had told me that their spouse and children take time away from their cultivation.. the only reason why anyone would fail to see that marriage and children is counter-productive to cultivation is that these people are to weak to withstand the spiritual forces binding them to marriage, work, children and other trappings of society.. to get reborn into a new life, you have to destroy all remnants of your old one.. including abandoning your spouse and children to find enlightenment if need be.. like what lord buddha did.. this will then show the universe and the higher beings how dedicated you are, how desperate you, how you will sacrifice everything to find god... and even when you die in the end without achieving anything.. rest assured that the Lord Creator himself would be moved by your dedication to him..
