Global Shaktipat for the Summer Solstice Tonight
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to ShaktiMama's topic in General Discussion
oh. Okay. I have asked that the way/universe/ultimate authority help me manage such things "autonomously", so that i consistently draw from and feed to all willing areas of reality, constantly, with as little as the thought of the willingness to do so. All areas of reality willing to support me with energy, i automatically accept any and all offers, and likewise, "my" energies are free to anyone willing to receive their support. Or IS that even related? Thank you -
Unconditional, Eternal Love for us all, The way of the way. The way of the way; Eternal Love for us all, unconditional.

"There is no way to get intimate with him, But there is also no way to shun him. There is no way to benefit him, But there is also no way to harm him. There is no way to ennoble him, But there is also no way to debase him. For this very reason He is the noblest thing in the world. Therefore the Sage dwells in nonactive affairs, Manages affairs without action, Practices the wordless teachings, And preaches the doctrine without words. The Ten Thousand Things take their rise, But he does not begin them; He acts on their behalf, But he does not make them dependent, He does not take possession of them; He accomplishes his tasks, But does not dwell on them, And he claims no credit. It is only because he lays claim to no credit That the credit cannot be taken away from him." Are you callin' me a sage? XD Sounds like how i live my life. the general philosophy to be "harmless, not helpful".

Sensation is physical, Feeling is emotional, Thought is mental... Idea is spiritual. The soul is sensual. We complete the cycle. i hate leaving things unfinished The secret of immortality is to complete every cycle you begin.

The mentality that "all [are] shakles/must be removed" is a shackle in and of itself. The shakle that binds us to our efforts! Now responsibility is no shackle, but rather... a power. It's the ABILITY to RESPOND. Our free will follows the ability to respond, and if we give up that ability, we give up our free will. There is no free will exclusive of responsibility, only irresponsible "children" of all ages who are a burden to the mature ones who must care for them. The responsibility of will merely shifts from the self of body to the self of community.

what is Shaktipat? -

A.) upfront honesty/consistency. Not changing my opinions or beliefs to try to "get her to like me". Women frequently test for consistency and will often fake being upset to test if you're They'll also date other people to get a rise out of you and then forget about you entirely. B.) An air of playfulness. Treating girls like little sisters or best friends; like equals not godesses or pieces of trash. they also ignore this as it does not stand out enough to catch their flighty attention. C.) Always focus on being friends FIRST before getting too physical or serious. Women are emotional creatures if you learn to stimulate their mind they're putty in your hands. They also like to run away and marry the first guy who gets in their pants regardless if he's their "the one" or not. You are talking about intelligent and aware women. not WOMEN. A specific caliber. Just wanted to point that out. -
getting "into the mud but remain unstained..." sounds like me, or is that merely ego talking? sometimes, i cant tell. Although, it is the ego which revels our selves externally, is it not?

It's how you go about it, promoting "your" (buddha's) path as superior, and how you promote what YOU have learned as absolute, without regard for alternative or necessity. and by dismantling their belief system, you are essentially "proving" your point that they are somehow inherently wrong. Try to be more gentle about how you approach guidance and advice for people toward a workable path for their spiritual fulfillment. What Buddha has accomplished is not the only path to reaching his accomplishments and not a necessary path for all. The continuity will never discontinue. even if it takes some people infinite lifetimes to reach their own spiritual fulfillment, YOUR JOB is not to tell them how to do it, but to guide them to activities that will help them discover how from their own first hand experiences. That is what Buddha taught with the most emphasis. his methods were merely his own cultivations. the four noble truths, however, are something we must all learn first hand, on our own. until we do, we can never KNOW them or follow them with intent.

Drew......... Thank you very much for your exhaustive and detailed words. I may finally have the information i need to keep myself going without [further] external support or guidance. No, i need another person.

True wisdom lies in knowing; not knowledge, for knowledge is fixed in time, unmoving, unliving, assumes a final destination where no such example exists in life, but only in death. Truly, to have all knowledge is to walk with an empty mind, knowing all that you experience, as it is experienced.

What does your Qi feel like?
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to effilang's topic in General Discussion
i am not cultivated in distinguishing "types" of energy. i m an open conduct to all which exists in every representation of "it". The energy i most commonly feel throughout my body is like a cold vibration that envelops and just as soon dissipates. -
colon... bum... you a punny man! I laughed out loud, out loud! lolol hehe! Colonoscopy... bummer... god you crack me up sir! Truly hilarious... even if im the only one who thinks so okay back on topic. This is actually kind of a silly way to bring the topic at hand back into discussion, but this comic is a pretty good analogy to the topic's main purpose. Episode 6, page 16; Locus, By Adam Black

Quoted for the hilarity of the truth! However i have to ask... in a world deprived as such ours is... What can we use our energy for, and build it for beneficial purposes?
-
Alchemy is the same as chemistry with one key difference: digestion; matter and energy are contained during reactions, nothing is "lost" in alchemy as is in chemistry. The elements and their subtle spirits interact together and "digest" each other, dissolving impurities until all that is left is the purest form of whatever resources were alchemically digested. Our bodies are the most divine alchemical devices, and we neglect and even outright defile them by relying on "dead" alchemy (chemistry) and machinery. Part of the purpose of fasting is proper alchemical digestion.

I believe a truly freed will power is one which acknowledges the existence of such will power inherent in all individuals and knows to respect that which the individual [power of will] expects in return. That is the responsibility of free will, without which, your will is neither free nor responsible. As, or every trespass against another will is a price that must be payed. Karma is unrelenting; if not this life, then your next will repay your debt of consent.

LOL Y'all really are sensitive to the "vulgarity" of words aintcha? I wouldnt "attack" someone verbally unless WELL warranted, and even then, why waste my breath? I try to reason with people, not attack. I swear liek a fucking sailor and so casually too, that when called out on it, i am like... o_O HUH? So i apologize if my character is a bit robust for the community, i mean not to offend with my vulgarity

What is your favorite Qigong System and Why?
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan replied to Raymond Wolter's topic in General Discussion
So where can i find a master of the "non wimpy style" qi gong in Oregon? "the non wimpy style" is SO intimidating. -
Speak for yourself, please. you cannot expect your perceptions of others, your judgments, your opinions, to be taken seriously when you automatically do not respect ours.

i always hated that term. a lot of fish in the sea. yeah a lot of belly uppers! Where's another strong fish when ya need one? -
"(for males)" was a little ignorant... most women actually will tell you that orgasm and ejaculation are not the same thing. The difference is, orgasm is the energy flowing and surging intensely through your body, while ejaculation is the releasing of this energy through the urethra and out the glans. By training, without releasing the energy, you can experience multiple orgasms. The deal is you must understand the breath. The four innate stages of the cycle. Inhale, hold, relax, exhale. "pushing" "pulling" "releasing", since relax is not so much an action as the lack of any action, an inaction. "Squeezing it in" builds up energy, "squeezing it out" attempts to push that energy out. (careful, if you arent stimulated, you could pee and no matter what, you will be pushing your sphincter out, beware!) relaxing results in different affects on the body at different points of buildup. there is a point between "squeezing in" and relaxing that "holds" the energy, and prolongs the sensation, neither advancing nor retreating. To reach it you must learn how to balance your cycle of 4. In terms of physics, consider inertia, the longer you "squeeze in" the more effort you must apply to "squeeze out" to reach "hold" or "relax" and vice versa.
