Cognizance

The truth is, at least to me and my understanding, is that we humans are immortal fragments of consciousness/awareness imprisoned in our bodies in a cyclical Death-Amnesia-Birth cycle. We have been imprisoned as slaves for "gods" which are extra terrestrial/dimensional entities. Duality (Tree of Knowledge) we have eaten from and thus we see everything as yin/yang or within a spectrum of it. We have yet to attain enlightenment/freedom (Tree of Life). I believe that through meditation, we can achieve this and realise our true potential. I believe, after researching, that reality including thought and emotions are all vibrations within the ether and that achieveing enlightenment is achieveing resonance with the supreme consciousness through which "objective" reality is manifest and that through this resonance, great powers can be channeled.

At rare instances I masturbate nearly close to orgasm but I don't reach the orgasm itself and do not lose any fluid. Now I understand some people think it's healthy to masturbate once in a while. I haven't had an orgasmn in two weeks and only masturbated 2 within those two weeks. Does masturbation in any way consume jing/qi even if you haven't ejaculated or attained an orgasm? I believe that in masturbating without ejacuating is a good way to develop discipline in a weird way in that I really really want to go all the way but I end up stopping instantly. Would this cause any impedance? I apologise if it is "tasteless" to some people but let's face it, we are dealing with our body and sexual organs/energy is one of, if not THE most important part of our body as it is how life is brought into this world. Thanks for any feedback guys. Cheers .

My understanding is that, semen can be converted into yang qi. The generative force developed during an erection should be reversed and moved up the spine and circulated and purified. Once this is done sufficiently, you store it in the tan tien. I believe that this process is to be done for a 100 days. It is imperative that you attain stillness to gather the light which is the third eye. You focus on this while meditating. I am not too sure though. Im going to kind of just experience it for myself. I am very confident in how qi feels as I have felt it numerous times.

That was beautiful Stig.

To OP, I usually find that women tend to mix up confidence with arrogance a lot. I do not know whether it's because of the emotional instability (drama) or mob mentality that attracts them to these men. Having said that, they always end up complaining about them. Of course not all women are like that, but those that are insecure with themselves tend to go this route. And they always assume that you want to listen to them talk about these things LOL. I find girls that are secure with themselves extremely attractive. No need to put make up all the time or dress in a provocative manner. No need to straighten their hair everyday. But hygeine is a must .

As someone said, they can be Masters of anything.

Thanks for the reassurance Vortex. Would you please clarify the difference between Jing conservation/Forceful retention? Thank you.

Sorry but I fail to see your point. Waste time thinking about what? The concept of just going online to find a "master" and then paying X amount of money for Y number of classes doesn't sit well with me. I just don't believe true knowledge can be bought. It's funny how people make it out to look like you need to be paying for lessons to make any progress. Thanks for the feedback Leif .

Thanks for the reply mate. Very kind of you to share your experience with me. You are very lucky to have found a teacher in a metropolitan city. I live in London so...LOL.

Brilliant reply. I definitely agree that yes everyone needs money to survive BUT a "true" master charging to teach a big group of students without demonstrating any form of achievement or energy causes a lot of cognitive dissonances in my head LOL. Thank you Astral, that was really insightful.

So far all I've been doing is retaining my jing and meditating. When meditating, I sit in a full lotus/half lotus, straight spine, sitting on my hui yin point touching ground, right hand on left hand cupping dan tian and embryonic breathing. I try to achieve a state of "nothingness" so to speak. I am planning on finding a true master. Should I persist with what Im doing now and would a master typically charge you, a true one? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

What about this http://www.universal-tao.com/article/cultivating.html and the Secret of the Golden Flower. I don't understand the need for secrecy seeing as the world is already a disaster with weapons of mass destruction, enormous energy released by the tniest particles enough to destroy everything in its path. Why would they still keep it secret. Another Boxer's Rebellion perhaps?

are you serious? How? I mean yes, I would appreciate your assistance.

I've been retaining my semen or let's say I've been celibate for about 10 days. And Im quite good at controlling my thoughts but what If I ejaculate while asleep? How do you prevent this from happening? Do you tie like a band around your penis cause I heard students did that and that they can apparently pull in their testicles into their body. Some also pull cars using their private parts. I would genuinly appreciate any kind of advice
