I also keep mentioning raw food and void. Am i obsessed with raw food and void?

I am not here to convince anyone of anything. It is just that after a 90 meditation today, i managed to find a whole new link between all the different bits of information in my head. Everything clicks so as to say.

if everybody think like me, the race of human beings would be transformed into higher dimensional gods but obviously, too many lay people in this world world prefer the baser lower-dimensional activities of fun,good food and sex than to be a higher dimensional being

Those masters would be proud of someone who sticks to the true teachings like glue. You have no idea at all about the true mechanics of immortality and yet you can go about shooting your mouth off. I have already stopped any sexual activities and sexual thoughts a long time ago. Plus the fact that I am partaking in a raw food diet. No this isn't renunciation but it is the culling of the senses. People forget what's the true purpose of renunciation. It is to cull the senses. If you can cull your senses while in the city, then good for you.

No. Laymen do what laymen do. Spiritual Cultivators do what Spiritual Cultivators do.

yes i know .. i am about to leave this forum for a very long time myself.. most of the people in here are not interested in samadhi so why force them..

so many taoist, buddhist and spiritual masters have accomplished spiritual attainments in seclusion and written so many books about the path of renunciation .. are you saying all those masters are wrong and fake? such arrogance and disrespect

I didn't know that not engaging in sex, good food and other fun activities is considered to be renunciation.

using the internet isn't engaging the senses .. however i know many who use the internet to indulge in their senses of sight for eg internet porn.. i have never advocated one must live in the mountains to cultivate.. you can be in a small town or deep forest.. the main point is to stay away from sex, good food and all other fun, sensory-indulging activities that way, you will experience the void faster than if you engage in sex, good food and fun..

That's Jhana Meditation. Read my first few posts again.

Indulgence is appropriate at times? LOL. Obviously another deluded practitioner. If I am suppressing desires, then I suppose the great masters like Nan Chin Huai, Tibetan Monks and Theravada Monks are suppressing their desires too. It means that none of their meditation works but you know better than them? It means you have achieved more than those Tibetan and Theravada masters? LOL. The level of arrogant ignorance in here.

Obviously this guy has not attained the highest spiritual attainments.

This is the true meaning of the Tao, Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Gnosis, etc etc. Taoism is certainly not about enjoying life, be a functioning/participating part of society or practicing your tao in moderation. That isn't Taoism. That is Sociology.

The things which I know are not new to me. It is just that I gathered a new different level of perspective on things which I already know.

btw i would like to thank all who participated in this thread.. even the negative responses had been very educational and entertaining.. today, i had cleared a few confusions about which way i should go.. the more i clear my mind, the clearer my path and the stronger my conviction ..

I look at women with emptiness and a non-discerning eye.

Look who's talking. In your own words, " the tao is about enjoying life, be a functioning/participating part of society and practicing your tao in moderation". MODS! I would like to report this blatant piece of DISINFO! LOL!

I love how the fragile human egos are being riled up by true teachings of masters.

I might be a beginner, but the teachings which I have are from many masters. They are no mere beginners. I have never met one Master in my life who didn't spend a significant portion of his life being secluded away from people. Nobody made me god. I have only merely made my observations based on the teachings of taoist and buddhist masters and I have offered these observations to this forum. Feel free to degrade the teachings of those taoist or buddhist masters if you want. It is your bad karma, not mine.

Max learnt his stuff from some masters in the mountains. Pardon me if I am wrong. Nevertheless, there are plenty of other high-level taoist masters living in the chinese mountains. If you think that you are higher than those taoist masters, by all means, go ahead. Who am I to stop you?

The cave is my room and I just came out of a 90-min vissapana meditation. Thank you very much. That was how I got the inspiration to start such insightful threads.

BS. Any lay person can practice semen retention as long as he doesn't eat yang foods, do lots of meditation and even exercise. Whoever said that you can only lead an alternative lifestyle in a monastery? I am doing it now in my one-roomer and everything is working out fine.

Do you really think that the eight immortals achieve immortality by food, drink and fun alone? My gosh, your ignorance is astounding. I am just a student learning the teachings of great masters, Taoist, Buddhist or otherwise. Whatever I write here in this forum, they are from the words of masters who have achieved more than me. These are not my own words. I am now eating a raw food diet. With no sex or even any opportunities of sex. I don't look at women or even think about women. I live in a extremely small town near the beach away from the city. Do I practice what I preach? Definitely.

I never said that one must live up in the mountains. You can live in a secluded beach, a small town, a tiny village, a deep forest.. basically anywhere where you can prevent indulgence of your senses.. Those taoist masters and buddhist monks ain't escaping life. No, by living in seclusion and doing self-cultivation every single second, these taoist and buddhist monks are living life to the fullest! Because the true purpose of life is to be one with the void, and not to waste your life away fornicating, breeding and having fun! Give me a break. You ain't a daoist. You think that reading a few daoist books and doing a few qigong makes you a daoist? Don't make me laugh.

Where did I say that one must commit suicide? Since when is living away from the masses a form of "suicide"? My will to be one with the void is my deepest nature, not my will to live. Read my last few posts again to glean the true essence of my words.
