To become one with the Void, one only need to kill the Humanity within oneself and let the Godliness within oneself emerge. Humans are always subnormal creatures compared to higher dimensional gods unless they start acting and thinking like higher dimensional gods themselves. The Buddha taught different methods for people of various potentials. The Middle way is only for the city people, the subnormal human losers who lack the will to give up anything and everything, even life itself if it is required, in their search for godliness and immortality. Cultivation is only desiring what you should desire

Despair and Nihilism are only illusionary concepts borned out of the Human Ego mind. Man has 2 Egos the Human Ego and the Divine Ego. Only those that crush the Human Ego ruthlessly like how you would crush a cockroach would be able to awaken their Divine Godly Ego. Plenty of monks and masters of various spiritual traditions have already walked before me on the path of killing the Human Ego. They achieved not nihilism but true enlightenment because it is only when the Human Ego is utterly obliterated then can the Divine Ego take over the body.

seriously what's wrong with death of the universe? how do you know the universe will not be reborn into a greater state of being? an megaverse or omniverse for eg..

Love is the Tao.. How the past spiritual masters are now turning over in their graves.. Talk about a disinfo campaign..

The fact that you can differentiate between buddhism and taoism and even claim one is better than the other is a clear sign of your ignorance and your lack of progress in reaching the void. if you have truly become one with the void, you will realize that all roads lead to void

feels like you are going into the delta stage of meditation

how is it possible to stop the external breathing?

Have you gained enlightenment yet? If not, you are in no position to lecture others on how to gain enlightenment. I cannot kill my ego? I am slowly but surely snuffing the life out of my ego every day, every minute, every moment, every breadth every thought. As you said,"Kill your ego and you will find peace, but you will no longer be you." When I kill my ego, my true Higher Self and Divine Ego will appear. I have never wished to be the old "me" anyway. In fact, I detest the human ego part of me who is so full of desires and other mental and emotional junk. I prefer to have a perpetually permanent clear mind all the time, thank you very much. I can't kill the ego? So many hindu, buddhist and taoist monks have kill their ego and you think i can't kill my ego? LOL. When I finally kill my ego for good, you will know who I am. He trains thus: 'I shall breathe in experiencing the mental formation'; he trains thus: 'I shall breathe out experiencing the mental formation'; He trains thus: 'I shall breathe in tranquilizing the mental formation.' He trains thus: 'I shall breathe out tranquilizing the mental formation.' As one continues calming, expanding and relaxing the mind, it naturally begins to go deeper. Finally the feeling of pleasure in the body/mind becomes too coarse and the mind experiences exceptional equanimity and balance of mind. It is described thus in the suttas: Here with the abandoning of pleasure and pain, and with the previous disappearance of joy and grief a Bhikkhu enters upon and abides in the fourth jhana (meditation stage), which has neither pain or pleasure and purity of mindfulness due to equanimity. When the mind becomes very calm and still, one experiences deep tranquility and equanimity of mind. They can still hear sounds and feel sensations with the body, but these things do not shake or move mind at all. Another description of this stage of meditation (jhana) is: "My composed mind was purified, bright, unblemished, rid of imperfection, malleable, wieldy, steady and attained to imperturbability." This gives the serious meditator an idea of what to expect when one attains this stage. The mind is exceptionally clear, bright and alert. The mind can even see when a distraction begins to arise, then let it go and open up, expand and calm down again before coming back to the breath. The abandoning of pain and pleasure does not mean that occasionally pain or pleasure won't arise. They will arise, but the mind is in such a state of balance that it won't shake or become involved with the distractions. At that time the mind is very aware when pain or pleasure arises but the equanimity and mindfulness is so strong that it does not become concerned with it.

yes it seem to me that the taoist monks in china who do not practice sexual ejaculation are also in danger of overheating their brains.. so many taoist monks have died over the past few thousand years because of too much sexual fluid overheating in their brains.. what a pity

i happen to think that our universe might expire within our very limited human lifespans.

when you focus your attention on a single part of your body, it is hard to disappear into the void

yes yet there are too many in here who mistakenly think that the real meaning of taoism is to indulge one's senses in the experiences of life

When you ride a motorbike, you have to counter steer in the direction in which you want to turn. So if you wanna turn left around the corner, you have to turn the handlebars to the right. This will cause the lean of the bike to the left thus turning the bike. Wanna turn right? Push the handlebars to the left. Lean right turn right. Kinda like enlightenment these days. You have to do the opposite of what your human ego wants and the Human Ego is screaming at mega decibels these days. SO the more you train yourself to react in opposite ways which your brain wants, the faster your progress.. Hehehe...

This is because zen masters are independent of relationships, women, food and all those type of materialistic rubbish. You on the other hand are still very much biologically dependent.

Why do you measure yourself by others' standards? Is social recognition that important? Why is it important to have friends? Are friends that important? Is it a sin not to have any friends? If you do not have any friends, does that mean you are an unworthy person? Is this why you measure yourself by others' standards? Do you only feel worthy if others think you are worthy?

i already said they are practicing samadhi, and how do you know how much work i have put into achieving samadhi? how do you know i am not already learning from different masters? are you a remote viewer? you hardly achieved permanent samadhi, matey and you wanna lecture me? there are a number of people in this forum whom i would take their advice but you are certainly not one of them.. as i said, don't me laugh..

me? social securities? we are talking about your social securities mate, not mine

All the material objectives in life will give one hardships but there is no permanent reward. Only the all-important objective of attaining samadhi and enlightenment will give one an ever-lasting reward even after one's death.

research has shown that samadhi is far more rewarding than any relationship - man/woman, parent/child, etc or any other efforts at easing sadness.. chasing after happiness is the main reason why humans fall into hardships.. when you chase after a mate, career, family, children, etc etc.. you will definitely fall into hardships.. this is why the ancient masters have always advised us to tame our desires. because our desires are not our own.. our desires are artificial external feelings created by higher dimensional external forces who are using us as a food/energy supply via our emotions/thoughts etc.. to stop being a food supply, you just have to start your mind to cull away your desires

this is why i say the masses are afraid of death.. one can only truly reached liberation if one embrace death as lovingly as one embrace one's soul mate.. you are afraid to die, so you cling onto society, even if that society rots you from inside out.. clinging onto society is the unnatural path.. the only natural path is to live a hermit's life for in the end, everybody would be a hermit when they die.. everybody dies alone.. everybody has to accept that death is an solitary path which everyone has to face in the end..

who determine what is positive? what is negative? you? me? who determine what is dead? what is dull? you? me? but you do have to let the human ego die, that one i agree with the upmost ferventness the hidden forces have ruined my life and distracted me with the false so much that i had been severely punished.. never again shall i fall.. payback will be a bitch.. the worst enemy you can have is one with nothing to lose..

So you do acknowledge the hidden forces creating the inner programming in us. Only weak humans fall to such inner programming. The strong humans override such inner programming as easily as breathing air. Meditation does help a lot in fighting off such inner programming. That and Kundalini Forces in your Pineal Gland which I am currently doing right now. From now on, I will not even give a single moment of relief to the inner programming. Every moment, every breadth, every thought I will put my soul and heart into fighting the demons. They will know who are the true gods in the end.
