89 seconds, never practiced holding it before really. (also smoke)

Then how do you get off claiming you don't exist. That has nothing to do with self . . You have claimed that "you do not exist" have you not? Have you not claimed this an absolute truth? Because what you are saying now is very similar to the Cartesian Theatre . . . Are you saying the self doesn't exist within you as a single point that you can point to?

Xabir, The very first sentence on that page says "There are three different views of the ego or self"

Yes Xabir, this is in regards to self, it doesn't say anything about you don't exist.

Answer the question and stop dodging.

Nice analogy thanks for sharing. Might I throw in a monkey wrench? Is that map that was drawn going to represent the forest and the path 10 years later?

How do you know that it is in fact a long dead master rather than a representation? For instance, when people have near death experiences, when they see someone else there, it is usually described based on thier religion and beliefs. A christian could see god or jesus but not buddha. Etc . . . Words are not inherently attachements as far as I can tell. Yes it does make sense that tradition and lineages are similar in this manner. These just seem like they could become quite strong, the same with culture.

The point is questioning rather these attachements are healthy? Are any attachements? I believe we are really all the same, fundamentally.

You have never seen your face xabir, so how do you know it even exists?

Lets stick to the main point xabir. Don't get sidetracked. You do not find any self xabir, So what does that mean. You are looking but you are not seeing. So then your line of rationale concludes that it must not exist? ARE THERE ANY OTHER POSSIBLE REASONS ?????????????????? How could you have possibly looked at something that is impossible to see, as that is the very eye you are looking with? Seriously, the best you can hope for is a reflection.

It can be made sense of very easily. I'm not shouting down anyone, this is open forums and I am entitled to present my perspective as much as he is, although what I say as a meaningful train of thought that one can find proof, rather than the meaningless blubberring of someone who thinks they don't exist and can't prove the single point in which they think they believe. On the same note, why do you feel it is any of your concern what I should or should not say and who I should not say it to? Irony and sarcasm. Spending 2 days to become enlightened is a lot of resistance.

You have once again failed to understand your own supposed conclusion. You are not an authority on this matter, so instead of making erronous claims, prove the point or gtfo.

Someone has activated the upper dantien, or third eye. They are stuck there. How can you show them the rest?

Hehe vaj, what if it's not your high up energy, but you? Love can be moved around once it is found.

But the definition is never set in stone. Even if you try it will be subject to subjective interpretation.

What do you think about focused breathing and love? I was thinking about that then the attachements after? Love can't really hurt anyone

Why do you tend to speak from authority rather then proving the point? No self can be found, so what can you really conclude from this? It sounds like you are tending to speak from authority. No self can be found, so what can you really conclude from this? How empty. No self can be found because it is not a seperate thing. The self can only look at the reflection at best, not truly the self. How could it ? Try to look from this perspective for a second.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present The present (or now) is the time that is associated with the events perceived directly and in the first time,[1] not as a recollection (perceived more than once) or a speculation (predicted, hypothesis, uncertain). It is a period of time between the past and the future, and can vary in meaning from being an instant to a day or longer. Pay up! Example: The present president of the USA during this time is Obama.

I don't get sick anymore. Other than allergies and a bit of sneezing, my body destroy's any infections before they can get a foothold. Not necessarily Chi Kung as it is in traditional terms, but internal work. What's more is those who I am in constant contact with don't get sick either.

Very good guys Seems you have articulated this very well, this outlook coincides with my own.

Police ?

Yeah, Ithink the Ancient Astronaut Theorists have an interesting perspective.

JohnC was joking.

Wow, good job Serene. You just insinuated atleat one truth whether you realize it or not I'm not going to tell you what though
