Josh, Welcome to taobums! Your pal, Yoda

Since he knows how to concentrate he should cultivate more positive emotions then. Maybe suggest a book on Christian meditation?

Nico, I hope your friend doesn't take this personally, but that was really dumb!!! I'm glad he was able to turn most of it around. I'm just learning about this sort of thing myself and recently bailed out of a DIY method to a system where I have good contact with a teacher so I don't royally screw up. While I would never do anything intentionally bad to someone, I don't have total control over my emotions so I do stew in negativity from time to time. As the knowledgeable r.w. smith says... that can cause trouble too... even without any training. Your pal, Yoda

Cat, Not knocking dreams, I'm starting to get over the whole K thing... whether good, bad, or otherwise... whatever it is is fine... just not for me... so reframing everything a bit along those lines. Your pal, Yoda

It was just a dream so maybe it didn't have anything to do with anything perhaps. But it did *feel* like a negative transmission and I was still on board with the practice so was confused by the negative vibe. In my normal life I don't really have strong opinions about dudes kissing me as long as their hands don't wander.
-
A kiss is just a kiss? I heard about the kissing on the lips as a negative thing from the Aghora Left Hand of God. I'm sure it can mean many things as Sifu Sinatra might say.

Erdweir, reminds me of kunlun type experiences... debatable whether angels or ghosts... 2-4am is when ghosts are strongest. Personally, I'm very leery of this sort of experience. If in the long run your happiness, energy, finances, luck, relationships etc suffer then figure out how to get rid of them. If ghosts, they can be contageous to other members of the household. UltimateFist, interesting you used your sword. In my limited understanding of western occultism, iron blades are thought to be disruptive to their energy fields. Your pal, Yoda

Attention! Letter From David Verdesi Regarding Wang Liping
Yoda replied to r.w.smith's topic in General Discussion
Things did get interesting again!! I didn't actually see this coming, but it makes perfect sense now that it has. Sean D out of respect for DV will likely never unpack all this for us but I'm glad that things have worked out well for him. -

Has DV moved to another teacher then? -
GIH, Awesome! But how do you do that? Your pal, Yoda
-
I'm sorry... I'm very negative on Kunlun and I can't seem to just zip it. Hopefully someone who likes the practice will chip in for you... there are lots of people here who enjoy the practice. Your pal, Yoda
-
If your retention practice turns your semen black... stop!!! (Both Kunlun books make that recommendation.) So many of us are either jaded or negative about the practice it's hard to have an open minded Kunlun discussion around here. It's pretty much always been the case but it seems even more so now. Your pal, Yoda

Mal, Enjoy it like a good vampire novel... you'll like it! I don't remember seeing an illustration of Vimalananda in my book but all that fun-with-corpses stuff isn't going to leave him looking clean and shiny at the end of the day! Your pal, Yoda

I love the binary/yin yang analogies!!!
-
Awake, I'm a believer in the "if it feels good then it is good" school of thought but it pays to be *really* picky about what actually feels good... like with the alcoholic who drinks to feel good... something is wrong with the situation. The taser thing sounds like a warning sign that something is off. I think bliss and emptiness are mutually supportive and you don't have to choose between the two. One thing meditation has going for it is that it is easier to just empty the mind than it is to change it. With emptying the mind, good feelings naturally come in. Your pal, Yoda
-
kr4zyac3, I think of the third eye as the general ability to see into subtle realms or as just the brain structure behind that ability. The yin eye vs yang eye is a refinement of that general label. It's only in the last year that I understood that there was a distinction. Your pal, Yoda

Maharasa, It's an unfortunate coincidence that Max is so neurotic, huh? But I'm glad you've had a good run with it. How long have you been practicing Kunlun? Your pal, Yoda

xabir2005, Tell him to get another teacher who can make them leave!! Your pal, Yoda

Anyone know who the original taobum was back on healingtaousa?
