  2. Taoist Problem Solving Methods

    Hi Devoid, a great reply. Thanks very much. I will heed your advice. One more item if you have a few minutes that is driving me nuts for the past two weeks. I asked a similar question and the vision unfolded as follows: I see myself below water holding on to a large snake or python in the middle, it is about 15 feet long. which is moving very fast through the Ocean. I sense that this python has very sharp teeth and that if I don't hold correctly or do something wrong it is liable to turn around and bite me. There is a tremendous sense of speed, of great force moving through the ocean. What would be your interpretation? Where can I turn to, to find meaning of these riddles. are there any books etc you could recommend? Thanks very much.
  3. Taoist Problem Solving Methods

    Thank you all for your comments. I carefully read through them. LSD sounds groovy. A little about my 'self exploration'. I have studied and exprimented quite a bit with Hypnosis, NLP and Dr. Eugene Gendlin's Focusing etc. I consider my ability to visualize as fairly good. I have developed some basic protocols to contact X and I don't know what this X is. Some call is subconscious, other super consciousness or as you say akahic records. But interestingly some information is being returned. So I am at a point now where I get into a relaxed state and simply state my question. Even before I finish the question, imagery or a vision is launched. It usually lasts about 15 seconds to a minute and then dissipates. I feel am in a enviornment that I don't fully understand, thus my interest in writing here and asking for clarification and more developed methods. To give you an example. After getting into a relaxed state, I asked 'what is the best method for xyz to happen'? Immediatly before I could even finish, I see myself being parachuted down, I feel the strapes around my waist. I can feel the parachute above me. I can feel the warm summer air on my face. You know so I am fully into it. I look down I see Lions, they start to circle where I will land. I start to feel very helpless, there is not much I can do. Sure enough I land and I get jumped by these Lions who proceed to devour me. All of this unfolded with 30 seconds. and then all done. gone. stopped. So very unsettling imagery. and I have no idea what it means. I tried to ask the same question again, this time I think my logical mind woke up and I thought of wearing armor, the movie iron man came to mind etc etc. Out of dozens of these, there was only one time that I had great insight. It was about a personal issue. So there you have it. I believe there must be people out there who are familiar with this terrain I am not familiar with. Thanks very much.

    Medhavi, thank you for your wonderful post. "But I think you are asking for specific approaches to gaining these insights?" Yes. I feel I have put in the hard work, 20 years of endless research. I am looking for an alternative way to mine the data I have. I have tried all the logical, rational traditional methods. Thanks.
