I am kind of suprised at the power of deleting other peoples weaknesses, like I didnt think it was this powerful, im pretty sure I watch there behaviour change on the spot lol, even for groups of people like on the train. Cool I remember watching a clip of Kam Yuen talking to a journalist, and the journalist keeps pointing at him, im pretty sure at one point I sense Kam deleting some weakness and the guy just stops pointing at him in an annoying way. Also not too manipulative since people kind of do this anyways, just not so, blatantly.

yes, nice post

I am an ego.. I am a tall tree oHHHH OOh here comes the marching band down in the valleeyyy Oh I believe I can fly.. lol

weey sex lol

hmm, I like this post, and I actually quoted to it. It got me thinking a bit, sometimes "doing" is what an "enlightened" being would do. Is there such a difference between doing and non doing. Sometimes there is a time to be spontaneous, sometimes there is a time to take action. Both are part of the universe and self from my understanding whichever words wants to use, although usually most of the time people are skewed too far towards doing. I may have misunderstand the intent here however.

Hmm ok I think we are on similar terms. No, I am fine with the conversation, as long as the language is understandable. What details do you wish to know, a PM may be more appropriate. I was reffering to above the head, but you mention a "chakra" inside the heart, is this the one going from behind the heart to in front of the heart sorta like a beam.

sure you are lol, I edited my post a bit.

Hi Jeff Your post is causing me to think a bit. It is still my understanding that an enlightened being (well actually I believe in the infinite levels idea) will still have thoughts occur and still have a sense of self that allows them to function in the world. And perhaps thoughts are a form of "emptiness". I think the higher chakras can open up a bit and then close a bit in constant motion and not neccessarily ceasing. When I do a ton of heart activity which has nothing to do with (meditation) I find I can sit for 5 minutes in immense bliss/nothingness. So in a way this stuff is all related, isnt this what is meant by the term Void= form. Not sure, if people are getting confused over semantics. I dont speak as an "enlightened" being, although I dont think anyone in this thread does (if such a thing even exists because Im pretty sure I know one person who is, and he has a sense of self that needs to function in the world etc etc.) and most of these peoples teachings are mistranslated. I also find people tend to get excited when they hear things they dont understand or know much about, as if the other person must know exactly what it is they mean, I think it is not right to discuss things in such a manner. Regards

Hi Jeff Thank you for sharing your interpretation of what a certain book I havent read means by that phrase (lol) Im not really a quoter, someone whos opinion I respect shared this, and it made sense to me, and I thought about it, and yes it makes sense. I think of it like the colour White (which isn't really white but a mixture of all the other colours) so one cant have white without other colours. Or an analogy such as the 8th/whatever number chakra above the head more related to non duality, past the crown, and past lifes one. Opening it requires opening and harmony of the other chakras. The high depends on the low, For most people the third eye doesnt open prematurely for example it depends on a good foundation. And yes in meditation or whatever one can feel like they dont exist or lose a sense of identity and this is nice and all, but mostly this is temporary and to make a belief out of this state such as "I dont exist" can be a little misleading. Perhaps some people only want to dwell from the level of non duality, and I guess that is there path, but at the moment, I don't feel like that, Also I guess that level can shine light on all the lower ones, but I dont think Ive been too unfair with what Ive said, when I feel a lot of misinterpretation around this subject.

Yeh not really fond of the phrases Void Emptiness I dont exist, You dont exist. I find these terms grossly innaccurate, sort of masochist, and a form of escapist delusion. It is more unity, balance of opposites. For example someone belives that the world is evil, now he can block his mind from thoughts but it would all be false and fake, if he was to believe the opposite view just as much aka the world is love, then he would not attach to either view. Thoughts are real and have power. Yeh, I prefer being one with nature. So basically void is form, means the whole idea of trying to "become empty" is silly, because this is never going to happen, so people spend their whole lives trying to become this way, its more become in harmony. Yeh, I do realise words are words, but they also strongly mislead people. People think of void and think oh I believe I exist, I am not enlightened, this puzzles me. Of course people exist, as a mind, body, soul, as everything. Yeh, Im just making a point with this post, all conceptual. I prefer to live life as a dance, in harmony, at one with nature.

Basically Emptiness contains many things (Void= form) Emptiness= Harmony/Balance Not (nothingness) because nothingness requires something ness

lol I think you misunderstood

Void is form and form is void. This is my understanding.

Okey dokey Certain actions, words said, words left on the screen cause blockages in my body and I CAN FEEL them, If I change what I do, I am acting in alignment with how I should be acting and I feel open again (but actually wait I guess the rules of this forum is part of nature too) anyways # So basically I went to an ecstatic dance event which along with 155 days + 12 days etc, got me feeling very lusty as yes I find these women attractive etc and possibly take in other peoples lusty energy(those events can make that happen, because I take in everyones energy and start to give it out) anyways this has happened a bit recently too. I had a few faulty ideas which were blocking me (eg It is bad to want a short term relationship ), So I just deleted them. Yes thinking about sex is thinking about sex, but harmonious perspectives,= harmonious energy and no thinking. Also Anywho thanks for the replies...

what is a good way to think about sex?

Keeping heart open I must edit post. I like my heart open SO I change what I wrote Not really sure what I should change it to though It is difficult to read. I like shamanism.

This is how we move Into the ryhthm of life with or without flow

There is a story of a shaman who heard voices in his head so he went to learn about nature from a mountain for 12 years.Many people do these things, only concepts says its bad. SOmetimes solitude is painful but giving up would be a waste one comes to learn from it. Do you want to be a guy that needs others around for his sense of self and cant say no or yes to friendships etc, if you are that guy then you will have low quality friendships and little freedom On the other hand Relationships are a great way to grow, Eckhart Tolle said one can learn more from one year of 3 3 month relationships than 10 years on an island or something. When are we ever alone? Im not a quoting person, so I usually share my own/others thoughts.

I misinterpret a lot of things.

yes, I am typing to teach myself, sorry mods.

" show the desease they've got is more special than others' illness." Not a disease, but yeh all this talk about parathonia or whatever is pretty unneccessary
