Let us say freedom of speech By the way, all the Abrahamic religions stand on the same ground.

Dear et-thoughts, I can only discuss things which make sense. Your sayings do not make any sense. Sorry

The intention/desire to heal, transform, change, improve is negative, happiness is the way, or acceptance

You can not run away from consequences of your actions. Every individual is responsible in his/her exam. -
I did not ask the meaning of to create? To create what?
-
Dear et-thoughts, English is not my native language and I really have difficulty in understanding your questions. Please write in a much more simpler but clearly way. For instance, you are asking: Stated in a different way, is the way of GOD, (Allah, the way or whatever name you choose to use) - to fight agains someone/something for some reason? - to create? What do you mean by create? Create what?

On the contrary, it illustrates Wei-Wu-Wei in the perfect sense. Such an explanation has never been expressed until now. He is not accumulating karma at all.

With my all respect, I have seen quite a high number of mediums who had been attacked by demons. Some of them chose to close their view in order not to see horrible things, some of them had pretty bad experiences etc. It is a very serious problem. Almost 99% of channelings of today are communicating with negative beings, thus they are in obsession (Obsession as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsession_(Spiritism)) The reason for that the people doing the channelings do not know the techniques to protect themselves from negatives. The only exception in the West, as far as I know, is Silver Birch and White Eagle from UK. Silver Birch is a positive being.

Once upon a time, I was interested in Taoism but not now. I do not and I can not make any comments about the way of Tao Sorry. I am not interested in Taoism and I do not have any intention to follow "the way of Tao" at all. Just be a good person as described in Holy Quran or in New Testament or in Old Testament. That is it.

To dissect some innocent like a laboratory frog or blow up a school bus can not be justified with any cause. Period. I understand that somebody can make such a comment if he/she is not following his/her heart. Pretty common nowadays.

Mediums could see other realms different than our physical world. You are either born as a medium or not. Even a normal person can see other realms with the help of a saint with powers, but it will be harmful for that person. Mediums should only open their views in an protected environment, otherwise they will be the target of demons.

Wu Wei is neither non-action nor effortless action. Wu Wei is the action that does not create karma (or kefaret in Islam) How is it possible? For instance, a Samurai killing his enemy and not creating karma? I may explain this from an anecdote from history of Islam. Hazrat Ali was in a war and he made his opponent fall down. Before he can kill his opponent, the man spit on Hazrat Ali's face. Then, Hazrat Ali withdrew his sword and did not kill the man. The man asked the reason for not being killed. "I was fighting against you for a just cause, we are in a war and I am fighting for the will of Allah. But when you spit on my face, I got angry, I can not kill you for my self (nafs), I am not a murderer" was his reply. This is Wu Wei

The respect to everybody's free will is the main rule. You may change somebody by persuading him/her to do good things. If he or she insists on a bad action, he or she will face the consequences, because it is his/her examination in this life. It is important not to interfere or not to be a partner in somebody else's examination in life, otherwise you have to pass that exam too. -
Karma is actually a Turkish word which is still in use today. It had been transferred to Sanskrit language thousands of years ago. In modern Turkish, it means "mixed". When you create karma, you mix things in a way that it should not be, just like a terrible soup that you put many unnecessary things in it. I could not understand the last two paragraphs of et-thoughts but I sincerely hope I could help. Since everybody in this forum are used to "Taoist" literature, may be you remember, in "Magus of Java", John Chang speaking with a higher being in the jungle, asking whether it is all right to have fights as a head master of Mo-Pai martial arts school. If I remember correctly, the reply was "it is important what you feel in your heart." If a Samurai is fighting for a just cause and additionally if he does not have hate, anger or fear in his heart, even he cuts his opponent, there will be no karma. In Sufism, heart is connected to God. If you keep your heart free of rust, debris (that you do not have sins) and you follow a humble Islamic life, then you may have the chance to connect to God by special techniques of different Sufi schools (tarikat). You want to create something that is in line with the will of God.

Meditation leading to increased blood pressure

I can advise Ki Breath of deceased Aikido master Koichi Tohei without any tongue work. Breathe in with nose, breathe out with mouth with an audible "haaa". This "haaa" should be barely audible just necessary to make sure that breathing out is continuous. http://www.shinichitohei.com/english/specialki_breathing/index.html http://www.easternkifederation.com/ki_breathing.html http://kiforums.stlki.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=39b69646bf6d3376f7dc6a76277d12cc&topic=14.0 -

Hello, Another alternative may be dinner cancelling. It is especially mentioned in German web sites, basically not to eat anything after 4:00 pm (latest), preferably after lunch. It is only allowed to drink calorie-free and non-alcoholic drinks such as water or herbal tea. More info could be obtained from: Novafeel
