Make a new schedule, and then stick to it against all resistance until it becomes 'routine'. For instance - going to sleep early, and waking up early, then going on a walk, then exercise, then meditation, then a bit of free time, then practice, then whatever creative pursuit you want to do (you should pick up a hobby) then meditation, then sleep. With meals at their regular times or whatever you like. Just draw out a more productive day and then stick to it regularly, i. e. every day afterward.

I still can't believe they're trying to sensationalize marijuana. Nobody at this point, I think, even cares about people who choose to smoke pot, aside from the government. If it was suddenly legalized nobody would even bat an eyelash, I don't think. The only people who care are in politics. I mean, come on. This just in, cigarettes cause increased risk of lung cancer. Legal. Tobacco causes increased risk of mouth cancer. Legal. Alcohol abuse kills your liver. Legal. So, even if marijuana does cause increased risk of testicular cancer... that's no excuse to jail innocent college kids and hippies and ruin their lives. Why not outlaw all of those cancer causing foods they have in the supermarket, that they feed to children? Nothing but hypocrisy.

The exact location of the 'root chakra' varies according to tradition. The energetics look sort of like this though. Roughly.

Maybe you should channel that sexual energy into creating a fully functioning relationship with your kundalini, no matter how long it may take you to set the groundwork? Start excercising often, take care of yourself better, and dedicate that sexual energy toward doing the practice rather than grasping at the fruit of the practice. You will feel much better. Let yourself know that every time you sit and deal with your issues, you are one step closer to that orgasmic bliss. Every time you work toward your self-cultivation, you are one step closer to that orgasmic bliss. And if the pressure becomes too much, by all means, let off some steam.

The techniques in the book assume that you have attained at least some measure of control over the natural forces of the mind and body. Which you have not. Before you try to mess with your biological mechanisms, you have to actually open up those biological mechanisms to the idea of tinkering. If your body and mind are against each other, you won't be able to do anything. Your practice isnt going to give up the goods without the foreplay, instant gratification entitlement is a real turn off for kundalini. The current has to be cultivated. You're going to be with this body for a long while. You've been with it for a while already, this is a long-term commitment and not a one night stand.

I had cultivated because I wanted to achieve something 'beyond' before, but now I do it because I enjoy gardening and all sorts of flowers. The utility of the lotus is truly something to behold.

I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle. Made of air. A tree does not grow strong and tall in a day. Regular awareness precedes divine madness. Consistent and regular every-day peace precedes supernatural stillness, consistent and regular every-day loving kindness precedes otherworldly orgasmic bliss. Without foundation, the bliss will end. Without foundation, you will not be able to return again and again.

It's not 'instant kundalini awakening'. It's arousal which may lead to an awakening at 'some point'. It's like rubbing a stick about a deadly goddess, using the friction to to try light the wood on fire. Shaktipat is having someone set you on fire right away. The fire will eventually go out, but the embers will remain hot. You will still have to cultivate it yourself, there are no expedient means that do not require patience and discipline. You've only read about kundalini. You haven't experienced her. You are not being realistic, here - you have no experience weathering hurricanes, and you are wanting to eat a lightning bolt 'right away', with no foundation to insulate the shock.

If you don't know, how can you say with such certainty that those things are really part of your personality and not just burdens caused by negative past experiences? Bliss without peace of body-mind doesn't last forever. Start with the basics - mindfulness, breathing, self-inquiry, and learn to live life through the heart.

what makes you feel these things? What is the root of your problems? It's good that you realized you have some problems... now identify the cause of the problems before adopting the necessary disciplines to transmute them. If you don't know why, that should be the first practice you start - constant, daily self-inquiry. What's really holding you back?

Perhaps Sun Tzu is more applicable than Lao Tzu, when it comes to these kinds of people. Be frugal with the energy invested into their movements, appear to be moved by their arguments while maintaining the more advantageous position. Do not let their words go on for too long. If the debate is protracted, the resources of the Scholar will not be equal to the strain.

No. The body utilizes numbing agents to prevent you from acting out your dreams and causing harm to yourself. Holding awareness as the process begins may lead to irrational subconscious fear of 'losing control' or death which manifests as an object of fear. Don't feed it with fear and it withers away in poverty.

cocaine is a hell of a drug.

A paradigm worth exploring is using the other senses to 'think'. Rather than dumping all of the processing power on the mind only, one could utilize smells and tastes to scan the environment and other living things. Expand the sense of 'feeling' to encompass one's entire home. They could also be used as passive meditations so all that spastic thought energy isn't going to waste, and much more. According to my own experience, the five senses, phases of consciousness and the various states of matter ('elements') are all intimately connected in a surprising way.

The kundalini process, the Kan & Li, whatever you want to call it, has been etched into the collective mythology of all tribes of humanity. In fact, during my own alchemical processes, I received a vision of King Arthur, the round table, and Excalibur and it's significance as a story of initiation into the mysteries is valid. The siddhi known as 'the sword which renders one unconquerable', the awakening of the central channel of creation, is very similar to 'taking the throne' within yourself. There is a reason why Isis was considered the personification of the throne and the pharaoh's power. The knights of the round as the five senses becoming one under the 'king'.The unfolding of the sheathes is very similar to 'taking the sword from the stone'. Whether or not the figures were real does not matter. They are metaphors. No doubt the tale's been twisted as the ages have gone by, but what dao jones is trying to point to is not just hogwash. Zeus's thunderbolt, the vajra in the lotus, they are all about this process.

Love is free but money takes time. Money quickly becomes worthless but love is always in high demand. You should become a love chef, people will always be after your business.

You will not find any clear instruction on how to 'end rebirth', because the final life to be lived is that of a Buddha or an Immortal, though an immortal never 'ends' while a Buddha never 'begins'. Thus you will see practices aimed at 'Buddhahood' and not specifically ending rebirth, which is really just 'Buddhist-speak' for 'He's done with this crap and he's not here anymore, but his power remains forever active by his sheer accomplishment in space-time, forever altering the structure of reality as we know it'. Becoming the inevitable conclusion of all possible life is achieving the singular goal of that which continually subjects itself to rebirth in the first place, which is really Buddha-nature . In truly 'realizing' the Buddha as yourself, everything which you could have ever become is burned away. There are no more doubts or uncertainties which would cause you to ask the question, 'What am I?' and so spark the flame of restlessness which causes rebirth, because what was seen can not ever be unseen, seared into your awareness by the mind annihilating clear light of the moment it is then seen everywhere and it's truth unavoidable. The remnants of desire are slain sacrifices to the wrathful deities. This is why they call the Vajrayana the 'lightning vehicle'. The practices are really the same as generating the 'body of Ra' or 'birthing the spiritual fetus' or even 'Zeus overthrowing Chronos' or the Celtic 'Ragnarok'. All the practices are the same, though the end goal may appear to be different at first glance, and in knowing the underlying mechanisms of the universe, utilized by the Sages, the Way is as clear as the Obstacle. It is all really just about getting you to fully and vividly light up your own universal hologram, completing the real human body, the universe as a whole, which is the end of duality (light within light, no more unconsciousness). This they call 'stream entry', and creating a third force - a true will, 'holy spirit', which is, as Taomeow said in a post I read a long time ago, 'darkness within darkness'. This they call 'No-Self'. Then you must give up your hard-earned golden self to pure nothing, absolute poverty, the ever-hungry core of existence, and in doing so satisfy it with the only thing that could ever be, other than it - You. True selflessness. The circle of life has been completed in the grandest sense that could ever be possible in any way, it is no longer a circle but a single sun of absolute genius blazing it's mark, redefining being completely in just a single moment which lasts only as long as a blast of lightning in a storm that never was. Essentially, to become the Buddha you must sacrifice everything to gain nothing, and you must do it without sacrificing anything, for death has no dominion. This is why virtue is a seen as a requirement, and why all of the Buddhist lamas stress accumulating merit and being inoffensive in life. It is a truly harrowing task and we need all the help we can get! That's my view on 'Buddhist enlightenment'. As to methods, make use of any and all tools possible and whatever is necessary, that's skillful means. Make every day you wake up your last, attaining buddhahood as you go to sleep at night. Kill doubt through unbend-able willpower born of every-day, raw awareness. The real magic is the miracle of the moment as it is - without thought-clothes or appearance-jewelry, completely naked.

It is like Bhakti practice when one begins to truly become the deity she worships... without 'taking note' or even acknowledging the difference between the guru and the disciple, the unconscious-conscious purification through nurturing devotion is the 'tempering' of true faith and trust in consciousness without any discriminating qualities, expressed as a love that transcends boundaries. When it becomes a very sharp sword, it cuts through all gravity. Just as we 'actualize' truths such as emptiness or non-dual consciousness or God within our reality through one-pointed concentration on Them, so too does the impossible become possible through concentrating the will on That. The 'gathering' and the 'accomplishment', much like the universal Big Bang and inevitable Massive Dissolution, is the end of 'what was' and 'what is', yet hovering between those two great forces there is a power beyond the perception of what creates and destroys. That is the great possession, the Real Spirit. This is just my interpretation of the event.

The true lineage of the Buddha is all wrapped up and hidden in dogma and tradition. Generally if you were to ask someone practicing such things, you would only receive a message like 'find a teacher' or 'get an empowerment', right? The archetypal Buddha himself though, considered all beings his children and did not discriminate between 'insiders' and 'outsiders', so these practices are much more open than people would like to admit or acknowledge. Actually, the symbolism used by the monks is a practice manual in and of itself, mandalas and all. Thus facing the Buddhas themselves in concentration and contemplation has very powerful influence in purifying perception and 'seeing' the practice intuitively.The figures of mythology and their battles are reflections of inner and outer alchemy, and in application the truth shines. I would say that the articles written by deci belle in the Contributed section of the forum are a very very good read, if you decide to study the Buddha's method. His original teachings were very frank and cut to the very heart of the matter... the infinite potential of being and it's role in releasing conditioned consciousness from itself, completely sidestepping the energies and movements of the manifest. Calm abiding, Anapasati, the Jnanas and such. All of the later teachings do largely deal with the same topic but in a slightly different, perhaps more (or less) 'traditional way each time. Vajrayana is very eclectic in this regard. There's lots of good info about it all on scribd and the standard dharma is probably everywhere on the internet now. In any case, and on a different note, time must stop moving forever in order to leave rebirth behind. Sublimating the primal desire of the universe is necessary in order to quench the thirst of all potential and actualized incarnations of yourself right now by becoming as pure freedom, the unfettered unborn. You have to re-assimilate the senses and the consciousness which sent them out, thus becoming liberated from biologic and free from the endlessly refracting sound of circles within circles. This is the basis of the illusory body yogas found in many traditions, in my opinion. Hopefully that was at least interesting to read.

The 'end goal' of all the Buddha's practices on enlightenment is the ending of the transmigrating mind, rebirth. Tummo, illusory body yoga, dream yoga, mahamudra et al. can all be used to reach the point where the 'ground of all phenomena' can be breached and liberation attained. Most, if not all, of them have the very same roots as the Taoist methods which are in turn deeply related to the Indian and Egyptian methods, all the way back through time and cultural mythology, stretching across the whole world.

how long have you had this pain? It will most likely go away by itself, depending on how often and vigorously you masturbate(d). The root takes a bit of time to recollect. Take the pain as a sign that you should slow down and lay off it for a while, and if it continues for 'too long' then see a doctor. Blessings.

It's you. You are the anomaly. You must be assimilated.

lmao @ blowoff #3 "Do you have a boyfriend? " "No gary. ... GOTTA GO Bye!"

I think that the very idea of 'retaining semen' is based on faulty premises in the first place. The idea is not really related to physical sex, since one is supposed to be building a world-view where 'everything is consciousness' (for most people doing things like this) it's not the 'semen' that gets returned, but your own creative force, your inner light. The entire body, being consciousness itself, lusts after the union of male and female, so it's not based on keeping the 'semen in the container' but rather making love within your entire body, consciousness, mind, the whole universe, whatever, rather than projecting that energy 'outside'. So the concept that there is anything to 'squirt into' or 'release' is just flawed in the first place. If it is not a natural result of your practices and realizations, it's not for you. If the sexual energy is manifested, it should still be consummated, just in a different way. The greatest consort is the heart.

kundalini has many forms. You could simply acquire genius, or become a very smart person, or a very good artist, or an inventor, or a superior athlete. It is the manifestation of hidden potential, personal evolution, so it is not necessarily 'mystical'. Pushing the envelope, exceeding the norm.
