Ok mods I'd like to read this section

Christ is King

In Drikung kagyu there is the practice of love, compassion, and bodhichitta, as a foundation for Mahamudra practice https://www.scribd.com/doc/295315009/Bodhicitta-Teachings-by-Lord-Jigten-Sumgon

Here’s a good one, that can be used as a foundation by almost anyone http://atlantismeditation.blogspot.com/2009/12/contemplation-visualizationof-unselfish.html?m=1

Perhaps Manjushri OM WA GHI SHWA RI MUM Or perhaps Achi Chokyi Drolma OM MAMA TSAKRA SOHA, YAR DU, SARWA DU, RADZA RADZA DU, MAMA DU, HUNG PHAT SOHA

For so many years, you see so many people just getting enamored with the latest spiritual trends, whatever is cool online, chasing the latest shiny object, getting sucked into lame or weird groups online or in real life, and it's just all so cringe. All the amateur hour bs out there is just ugh! People talk big about Siddhis, spiritual power, energy, shakti this and reiki that. Well time to up your frickin' game people. Let's see it, step up to the plate. This is the new age of the internet. YouTube and internet is almost universal now. Apparently in certain sports because tournament footage is being put up on YouTube instanty all the time, new strategies are developing faster and the sport is developing rapidly So come on, don't sing it bring it. What are some Miracle powers or Siddhi's that are documented? Are there any? Who do you follow and what do they really have when it comes time to put up or shut up? So who's a faker and magician? And who has legit Siddhis? No crap or anything that any trained magician could easily replicate. This is the 21st century, every 5 year old knows magicians aren't real, firewalking isnt a siddhi, and anyone can lay on a bed of nails. I know I've heard scientists have studied Tibetan tummo under scientifically controlled conditions and it was proved to be real. That's probably why a lot of people respect and are interested in Tibetan buddhism. But that doesn't necessarily mean we should absolutely only consider powers or abilities that are shown under absolute strict scientific conditions. That would be assuming all spiritual powers are repeatable at will, but what if they are dependent on circumstances or are extremely rare events not easily reproducible at will? Many spiritual groups report a Guru predicting the day of their death and dying with their disciples as well. Most people will not consider that proof of spiritual power though. Especially since religous and spiritual people talk willy nilly about things way crazier than tummo, like flying, appearing in multiple places at a time, turning a single meal into a feast, and raising the dead. So let's see it. Let's see the proof your spirituality isn't all just in your head or a group delusion? The first example I think of is Grandmaster, a real grandmaster, not a trendy internet Johnny come lately fad, but Grandmaster Yang Mei Jun, the 27th inheritor of the Daoist and Buddhist Dayan Gong lineage. A man had been in a motorcycle accident and been in a coma for many weeks. The doctors at the hospital had determined the man to be brain dead and were going to move him to the morgue. As a last ditch effort Yang Mei Jun came to the hospital to treat him. During the treatment he was revived. I don't know if there is video of the event, but there is photo documentation of the treatment here Next we have a really crazy one. The Earthly spiritual Father, Father Yod, Father Yahowha, on video reviving a dead baby. Like ok, like there weren't scientists monitoring it with instruments in a lab, but it's on video. I know an umbilical cord wrapped around a babies neck is a real thing that happens, and a real danger of not giving birth in a hospital. That baby really does look dead to me in the video. Perhaps I should add it's a pretty graphic scene if you're squeamish, but it's also black and white so not that bad. So read it and weep, can your teacher beat The Father? It's insane, that baby looks dead as a doorknob to me, then comes right to life, and the dude's still alive and a healthy adult to this day! Timestamp of the footage is at 42:30 I'm a bit hesitant but I'm going to include this. Some will probably scoff and laugh, call it the Buddhist stigmata. Like ok obviously stigmata is stupid, I remember hearing about that as a kid and just laughing that people would think it's not a hoax. But Phowa is a little bit different, it's commonly just accepted and repeatable by anyone with enough devotion, and it's based on actual meditation practice. Since ancient times people have long put kush grass on the hole that opened on their heads to demonstrate successfully launching their consciousness to a pure buddha realm. Stigmata seems much more like just a hoax perpetrated by lone hucksters or specific organizations with an agenda to trick people So time to put up or shut up. Talk is cheap punk. Siddhis talk and bs walks. Pics or it didn't happen. Time for the fads and the bs to fade away.

Things aren’t always as they seem. Many, many guys will exaggerate and lie about their body count. I have no tolerance for that since it will lead other guys astray, they’ll end up taking advice from those liars that doesn’t work and waste their time when they could havee been practicing things that do work and lead to real skills. I’ve heard many times that the average lifetime partner count in the western world is roughly 7. A guy with 50, or 100, or more is actually very rare. Either the guy is a celebrity, or he has made pursuing women a major part of his lifestyle, sacrificing other areas of his life to do it. A guy with a normal life, normal social circle, a job, responsibilities etc. there’s no way his body count is even close to a hundred. Add on top of that a lot of guys are raised to be weaker and less masculine than they used to be. If we look at average loss of virginity age rates nowadays it’s at like pre sexual revolution levels of stunted development, but for the opposite reason than it was back then. I think it is probably true that there are fewer naturals nowadays than back in the 80s and 90s. Think about Marty Mcfly in Back to the Future. He was far, far more socially developed as a man than his father George mcfly was. Back to the future really illustrates how much more developed men were in the 80s than the 50s. This was surely due to the oppressive religious culture and male dominance in society in the 50s. 1989 was truly the pinnacle of social development. If we look nowadays men are falling back to 1950s levels of stunted development, but now instead of being due to an overly male dominated culture it’s due to feminism and female dominated culture. Both male dominated and female dominated cultures are very bad, the 1980s were the perfect balance and produced the most naturally sexually confident men.

This is a good point. Society isn't actually designed for every guy to be the man, to be the shit. It's not necessarily in society's interest that every guy can be Gene Simmons or Wilt Chamberlain. Society probably needs lower status men to function, or monogamous relationships, in order to function. Everyone can't be Alphas. So society will never encourage you to be the real naturally seductive man you were meant to be. If you try to step into that level of being, society will probably try to socially beat you down, shame you, etc. Cuz it's not in it's interest that every guy is fully actualized in his sexuality and power. That's why in school they try to influence and suppress your expression, it's not all about being the shit, not caring what anyone thinks, and being as uninhibited and unapologetic in your desires as you can be. Think about what happens when you like a girl, it's like "shame shame I know your name, you and your crush sitting in a tree k-I-s-s-I-n-g" etc. Society actively suppresses your true self and true nature. If we look at other cultures it's even worse, like say guys from India or the middle east come to a more natural or free culture and they're often at a huge disadvantage. If you've never been with anyone at say 21 you're gonna be at a huge disadvantage against males who were sexually active at say 15. Then those guys will descend into mate guarding type behaviors, will try to shame girls into being artificially loyal to them, and inevitably get cheated on if they do manage to get a partner.

I dunno I've been with about 160 women, usually felt very refreshed and alive after. But casual doesn't have to mean meaningless or mean there's no mental or emotional connection. You still will often need to build a connection for sex to happen. I look much younger than my real age most people think about 15 years younger then I am. In the words of the immortal Al Bundy, it gets better each time, as long as it's never with the same woman 😂

Your best bet is probably reading the Tibetan book of the dead, called the Bardo Thodal or Liberation through Hearing in the intermediate state, aloud to them

Been doing Chakrasamvara practice which contains some Tummo, it’s really cool, it generates lots of energy in your body. So if you want to learn something keep at it, keep learning and keep practicing 💪

So I have more experience as an Indoor internal martial arts practioner than most people you're gonna talk to, and a decent base in authentic Taoist qigong, but I really don't know much about Tantra and Tibetan Yoga. Some of it really, really speaks to me though, I'm really drawn to it. Does anybody know about these, what lineage they come from, who teaches them, how to learn? Where to learn? I wanna get these methods The ones specifically are the ones I've seen that I'm being called to these days This one especially is calling to me And this How did white people get this practice? It looks good and powerful and so beautiful and like a very high vibrational level of spirtual practice

You gotta give this guy credit. Agree or not, I challenge you to find a more clear and specific psychic or prophetic prediction Start watching at the 8:00 mark, and tell me he didn't nail it, on a major historic event too

Well, I went out and found Drikung Kagyu teachers in person, and have been doing lots of practice including mahamudra, dzogchen, vajrayogini, and chod. I dont think the drikung kagyu teachings are diluted, apparently they're teaching things openly they would have never taught publically before. I do find Dr. Nida to be very interesting, though I haven't studied with him or practiced his teachings.

Not sure there’s really any contrast. I’m thinking there’s more to non attachment than just non attachment in a certain sense. From an absolute truth perspective form doesn’t exist. It’s an illusion, so everything dissolves to emptiness. It never even existed anywhere but in your mind in the first place. There’s just emptiness, the present, a pure clarity, and the yiddam qualities arising and dissolving. Everything else just falls by the wayside, and never happened.

You do make a legitimate point. As my argument went before though, what if energetic abilities go beyond just simple things like say taking your friends pain or tightness away by putting your hands on them, or making people feel a buzz in their hands or whatever mundane thing you might do… What if human potential goes beyond that level, however it may not be reproducible on command or could be very circumstance dependent? Or perhaps the concept of auspiciousness could be involved. That is hard to completely control and contain within a scientific experiment. Like you don’t wanna be one of those people who are like “oh yeah my systems got all that siddhi stuff too!”

What do you mean?

Okay Madame Blavasky. You like pontificating and you like platitudes, but what are you bringing to demonstrate? I don't get it? At least others here brought something to put up. They were willing to post videos and put their balls on the table so to speak. Going online for online discussion, but then acting like you're above it all and wouldn't waste your time with it when you could be doing productive things and bettering yourself in real life is such a played out trope as well.

Yeah that's why I didn't discuss it, just used as an example of the kind of stuff that doesn't really fly here or in 2024.

So we got a dude tickling people, some old people over reacting for a camera, some magic tricks, and the same old lame martial arts demonstrations like using leverage tricks to break a brick or stone. It's just like, people aren't gonna go for that anymore, they never really did. What's the point of party tricks and magician stuff? You can just hear the thoughts already of "same old shit! same old shit!" Like oh my heart...my heart! Hallelujah! Hallejuhah! Also any energy that can have any tangible effect would have to be instantaneous, whether from the dantien or whatever path. Cuz it would have to be coordinated with mind, intention, the Yi. At Yi level the energy is instantaneous whether for martial arts or otherwise.

From what I understand in essence there is no difference. They are the same thing ultimately. Nothing anyone said about one couldn't also be said about the other. Some people have called dzogchen the padmasambhava lineage, and mahamudra the tiliopa lineage. There are certain specific practices that can be unique to certain school I believe. Like 5 part mahamudra for example. You can also blend different aspects of your experience in meditation together, love and compassion, wisdom, emptiness, awareness etc. Also you can view meditation in stages, like starting with resting mind and mindfulness, you can have mindful body practice, mindful emotion, mindful consciousness, mindful phenomena, then shamata, vipassana, and fiinally mahanudra/dzogchen At the end they're both about you seeing your true real nature and true nature of reality. The empty and luminous nature, that there is no self, the mind seeing itself, and resting in the natural state of Rigpa, etc and profound deep stuff like that that's hard to grasp or talk about in words and all that.

So I've been hooking up with a woman who is super into it. That's even her job, she does Pranic healing on patients and even does it for free for the homeless. She has pictures of her master up in her house and even the whole feng shui of her house set up is based on the teachings of Pranic Healing. She wouldn't show me the exercise practices though cuz they're secret, though she really pushed hard to get me to practice twin hearts and some other meditations with her. It seems wacky and flaky but after practice I genuinely felt the deep energy channels in my body noticeably widened. Anyone here practice it? What does it do for you and what are the practices like? Anyone wanna talk about the secret practices?

So something you hear a lot about these days, is that fewer people especially men, are having sex than ever before. It’s quite bizarre. i remember about 10 years ago people would talk about the huge rates of “herbivore men” in Japan who never had sex, and you’d think that could never happen here. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-herbivores-idUSTRE56Q0C220090727 It seems the phenomenon has come to the west now too though. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.joe.ie/amp/life-style/amount-men-30-not-sex-nearly-tripled-past-decade-663846 People have tried to blame everything from tinder, to low t levels, to porn, and the bitter and misogynistic have even tried to blame women. I think only I have identified one crucial factor though. And that’s the maturity and development of the people’s personalities. One thing that’s been universally observed by almost anyone I know of who pays attention to these things, is that guys who are good at the courtship process, who connect easily with women, or who understand how to communicate with the gender of their choice, always start off at a young age. Think of the male gender for example, when two men communicate it’s almost always a logical discussion.They have no inborn desire to speak to each other in emotional terms cuz they never got any evolutionary advantage from it, so see no value in it. But when interacting with a woman in a romantic context, well that will usually require speaking on an emotional level. Women will often appreciate a man speaking in Emotional terms. That requires a bit of effort and learning as it may not come naturally to a lot of dudes. So think about it, who is the more socially, mentally, and emotionally developed person? The one who has been dating and had relationships since they were 15 or a 19 year old who has no experience? Let’s say they both are 20 and both have crushes on the same girl. Who’s gonna get her? the guy who has been dating and had relationships since he was 15 or the 20 year old virgin? It’s obvious who’s gonna get the girl No different than a pianist with 5 years experience playing in a concert against a total noob. It’s a no contest. A lot of reports also say that in places where men are more timid or less experienced like Norway, Sweden etc. it’s easier for a man to convince a woman to cheat on a bf or leave a bf. It may very well be true. So if you want to know why there are so many sexless adult men who as a result must be emotionally stunted, I think you gotta look at age of virginity stats. It appears the trend has been going for a long time actually. Since at least 1991. So it seems the logical conclusion is that in general, there's gonna be more awkward stunted guys and fewer confident naturals than ever before.

Yeah dude it’s not something you can learn online

I mean an ultimate level that a human being can practice at
