  1. Bias against New Age

    Knowing history is also tricky, since primary evidence/secondary evidence is not very easy to find. I mean people dont really know about the bosnian/chinese/japanese underwater pyramids let alone other things. Anyways I read this message from your link about mahayana " As I learned, both are under one banner, "Buddhism", meaning there should be no differentiation as in making schools, though people have done so any way. The Buddha taught according to the level of understanding of the people he met, and those who became his disciples. Some needed a certain way and others needed something else...like medicinal herbal concoctions. In order to get some to awaken, he taught one way, and then when their capacities increased, he taught another method to get them further. Whichever worked for the cultivator, he gave them the needed teaching method."
  2. Bias against New Age

    Tenzin Wangyal Yeh, I think it was him.
  3. Bias against New Age

    I have a book "Tibetan Book of Dream Yoga" Also another one I gave away after I read it about "positive thinking and tibetan buddhism" By Tibetan masters, You may tell me according to your perception they are not masters, but whatever they have 30 years experience, since a child. They say Buddhism came to the region and the empire/country was trying to make the country buddhist, but they made it more integrated with the previous religion of Bon. Well shamanism is a lot older than religion is so it make sense to me.
  4. Bias against New Age

    Tibetan Buddhism is a mixture of Bon Shamanism and "Buddhism" Trying to define "Buddhism" or "Shamanism" is very difficult, like trying to define Zen. Buddha used words as a way to point to the moon, but these were not to clinged to and depended on a persons weaknesses.
  5. Bias against New Age

    There is a story of jesus, whether or not you believe in him travelling to persia, India, Tibet, China and learning all his spiritual practices there for 16 years, he was reported to severely dislike the tight hierarchiachal structure of the religious instituitions and attacked the way they withheld information and power.
  6. Bias against New Age

    While this may be true, I read a lot of stuff (wether or not it is true, according to various peoples perceptions of who can omit truth or not) saying that it is his goals to unite religions and have less seperation between people and their religions, something like this, Im pretty sure this was him. Anyways, yes I also get annoyed by some "new agers" so I can understand where one is coming from, but there are some people who legitamately have insight and wisdom etc and their practices are pretty much identical to others in other traditions. I have met plenty of tibetan buddhists my own age, and while they have some spiritual stuff which is much more admirable than what I do, I do not class them as a different species because I could say the same in reverse (oh how I disdain comparing spirituality)
  7. Bias against New Age

    Doesnt the dalai lama say " I do not care for fanciful philosophies, love and kindness is my religion" Something like this.
  8. Thanks, I have done so as to your suggestion. I look forward to doing so. Kind of reminds me of native american ceremonies for healing mother earth.
  9. Hi RV, no problem. Well basically, I just go by my intuition/heart. Some of them have advantages/disadvantages other methods dont or do imho. For example the Long healing codes prayer will usually make me cry/choke/yawn intensely somewhat after each prayer even if I dont do it with the hands, I don't really want to do this in public, well some kinds of walking in the park with no one watching is ok for me. Also it works well with things one has no idea why they have problems with an issue (all known and unknown) and tends to just work on brute strength rather than precise level. The yuen method is using the midline and filling the blockages of the midline with light once thinking of an issue, one can do it in dreams, conversation etc etc. The EFT Matrix Reimprinting/Feeding your demons (which is good ro dealing with spirit attachments too), I just spend 2-3 days going over memories and removing the pain and deciding what would have been a better course of action, etc, Sometimes with trying to remove issues, working on a memory is more powerful, or perhaps it is just a good exercise in building compassion for myself and others and trying to visualise what would have been a better option, so one has more wisdom, it also reinforces wisdom about cause and effect laws, and helps me to be more sensitive about doing/saying things which may upset others accidentally. It really is based on my intuition but the healing codes/brute strengthening on the midline for an issue will always work, being specific perhaps works a bit better. I think I will give a few examples. I will figure what Issue I want to improve could a physical issue, a habit I want to change, abundance issue, critisizing others, creativity etc etc I may do either yuen method or the healing codes or eft matrix reimprinting depending on various factors such as time Im willing to put in. For example a simple healing codes prayer on doing better paintings, I will find myself, now planning painting, doing rough sketches, using tracing paper, taking time out and not rushing, not sabotaging them, watching videos on them. And they do seem to turn out a lot better. Or perhaps a money issue, could take a while, but I may remove all beliefs/feelings I feel harm abundance, creation, I may delete memories of poverty/struggle/being cheated, DO healing code prayers for various things, various action steps Im not taking and do a brute healing for them.Over time I do notice small shifts, especially since I can feel when the emotional intensity of beliefs have changed somewhat this manifests over time as taking more action, not sabotaging myself, and manifesting different things. Or it could be a physical issue..I really was blown away did a shen healing on one which a doctor said I would need expensive surgery for and within a couple of weeks the issue was pretty much gone, it was also a mixture of stillness movement, development of power etc.
  10. Some further updates. One can also figure out who they have resentful feelings towards for whatever logical/illogical reasons and then delete or find out why they have those feelings eg a certain belief or memory delete that.
  11. I like dogs Allow me to quote a legendary dog. "We travel in packs, and we do it from the back, all the while, we do it doggystyle, I say all the while, we do it doggystyle" Snoopdog, from the Album Doggystyle
  12. Hi everyone

    Welcome,
  13. Ambition - Be a Mountain Sage

    You know your spiritual progress would be much faster if you were to work on the lower chakras and grounding issues, most of this is coming from emotional trauma from this life and past lifes, and belief systems. Meditation and energy work can often be used as a method to numb these blockages living in ones body and aura, but if ones body did not contain these traumas then they would not need to numb themselves in a similar way to people taking drugs or junk food or alchohol. The more the lower chakras are free the more powerful the rest is, you cannot progress very easily without the lower stuff being cleared out and good beliefs about money, society, relationships etc, I suggest the yuen method, eft matrix reimprinting and the healing codes, all can be found at the top of the contributed articles section. Also if you want to dedicate more time for cultivation there are cheap places to live in India and Nepal eg a hut for 80p a day, the more religious places to live are not really so great, people have this idea that the only authentic source of spirituality is to learn from "real authentic foreign people who may have no money" , this is not always neccessarily the case, however yes one can learn many things and encounter great friendships in this way too. peace
  14. My theory, I am very sensitive to my heart. It is like my compass When something feels strong or weak, I know and react appropriately If my heart is content, It is open and happy. This can come in many ways such as editing my title hehe If it feels off or weak for too long this will have effects that leave room to be desired for cultivators. It is known that the heart is the ruler of the body and is the gateway to many other things. Well Im happy I got my first art commision.yay
  15. Actually I know my path and know what I am doing, it just takes a certain level of courage, which obviously posting this has shown me that not following ones path in life causes sickness, perhaps I just felt like posting that epiphany. It is not new age.
  16. You are right. But having a good relationship with abundance/money can be helpful. You are right, money is neutral in itself. It is a tool which can help one too. If one has beliefs like : Rich people can be kind, humble, spiritual, loved, fair I manage abundance well and am a magnet for it It is easy for me to make friends with rich people Money comes to me like a magnet I love money and the monetary system, money is useful One will find that they are actually creating abundance. I like the healing codes, yuen method and eft matrix reimprinting for working with healing specific things. Imagine a person with these beliefs having an intensity of a scale of 10/10, and imagine the same person have the intensity of these beliefs on a scale of 1/10, the first will follow through on their action, behave different and manifest abundance in life. Abundance is nice, it does not make you evil, unless one has told themself this, It can be a great tool to help oneself others, poverty can prevent ones path in life. One may equate it with being abundant eg being in a position where one is more free and their needs are taken care of, further more there is less resentment of others, it is not wise to make too many negative beliefs about things because one feels the need to justify their fear. Also abundance and money is very related to the root chakra and being grounded, if one is constantly thinking about survival, esoteric stuff may seem more difficult, like being playful and having fun in an environment one has to think about their safety. It is better to view things in terms of overall abundance and happiness. and have a balance. I like abundance, I like nice things, I like freedom, and I definately value the spiritual, and freedom. Just some thoughts I would share peace, we may possibly agree
  17. ...

    may post here later
  18. Another thing I realised with the extraterrestrial thing is that having a life where one can do whatever one wants and destroy everyone in their path creates a lot of bad karma that comes back to one, so while it seems good, it also leads to bad, which perhaps is why buddhists say that being a human is good luck. Also if extraterrestrials thrive on certain species like humans thrive on meat, while this could be considered evil, from their shoes, its what they need to do to survive, so eating meat is not exactly super kind, but can also be considered normal like all animals do, one can feel ashamed of their own needs as a living being.
  19. Ribbit..RIbbit Should write something here. Or should I? I like heart writing, writing in a poetic, musical way. So yeh. Did a lot of memory healing recently.. Like 50 memories, started out with making a painting or plan for a painting which I havent properly drawn until now, and it set the stage for doing lots of healing work for money. I walk around trees and do spontaneous movements, communicating with the tree, receiving guidance, asking questions. One day I started spontaneously doing prayers all about money for about half an hour. "I pray that all known and unknown negative images, beliefs and destructive cellular memories relating to xyz be found out opened up and healed by filling me with the love, life and light of god, I also pray that the effective of this healing be increased by 100x or more" So I started the beggining of that prayer and found myself channeling or speaking without exact delibarate thought the perfect prayer for my weaknesses. Beliefs that are bad for money- basically- Being poor is noble, virtous, kind, spiritual, Being rich means your greedy, corrupt, have no challenges, arragant, always stressed, hated, i cant make rich friends, money doesnt come to me easily, I hate money, money is the root of all evil, rich people are materialistic etc etc one can use their own intuition to come to their own conclusions. If one has 30 beliefs about money which cause scarcity and these rate a scale of 9 out of 10 in intensity, if one reduces the intensity to a two and implants positive beliefs to stop the negative from forming, it is almost guaranteed to strongly affect behaviour, and actions and manifestations. Its not magic, its science Imo. That morning like 2 hours later, my mum tells me that my nan left £1000 for me she passed away a while ago, and Ill get that soon, Im looking to go to mexico soon (very illogical urge) anyways, I also found very cheap flights, and came to realise I could use couchsurfing for a few weeks until Im sorted. Anyways, I used the prayers to find out past life memories related to being cheated as clarity mentioned, or poverty and wrote them down on a piece of paper. I go through them 1 by 1 and tap on them, sometimes this memory is related to 5 other ones, and those other ones are very connected to other weaknesses I have, I also gain immense wisdom and insight from this practice, imagine if there are extraterrestrials who live for 900 years, do you think it would be a big deal for them to spend a few years going over these kind of things to make them have immense wisdom and power. I dont even want more power at the moment, I have enough I feel (possibly) wisdom is a greater aim, and compassion. Also the more I tap on these memories the more insight I gain, Im pretty sure I realise some memories which are coming from extraterrestrial lifes, insectoids, reptilian, grey, tall grey, etc etc, also memories of being planets/gods, these are hazy, but still they come up, its what buddha said right? I havent really tapped on animal memories but occasionally interesting stuff comes up in dreams, had my first proper lucid dream after doing 6 hours of memory healing one day, where I could just watch tv programs of peoples lives, and change into goku etc was pretty amazing, I never even believed lucid dreaming was real. While I was going through these memories I did really come to my conclusions that life really is suffering, and enlightenment is really a noble goal, because even the god realm creates much karma, but I do not feel this way now, I wonder which of these ideas is more accurate. Also I realised some stuff comes from ancestors, I specifically realised memories eg fear of being beaten, told what to do, coming from both lines of ancestors, and removed their memories for them. So anyways, I ended up going to one entrepreneur meeting, after randomly adding a friends, friend on facebook my intuition told me to speak to, something I dont feel would happen so easy if I wasnt energetically stronger for money or abundance. The next day I fasted for one day, made my energy more natural, and was about to paint a tree and receive guidance, but ended up getting a great idea, Im still planning how to use it, did some more memory healing. I think removing blocks/weeds is great but also it can be good to be a little positive because dwelling on removing the negative is leaning towards the negative so for example watching a short visual video on abundance is quite nice. Also when it comes to changing behaviour/memories, the feelings or intensity of the feelings drop, but ones habits, and reactions and mind may bring up the intensity of the feelings again, if one is not aware, so good to use the yuen method and be watchful of what happens during the change process, change is not linear, it goes up then stagnates, then down, then up, most of the time which is a slow process. But has to happen this way. Went to a psychometry/remote viewing workshop my friend gave me as a birthday gift, and it was exciting to know that my accuracy of what was in the envelope of certain pictures was sometimes 60-80% correct. This was amazing to know whats in a piece of paper to such accuracy...eg a plate with chopped oranges in the middle and salad, I guessed a big orange, and plants, or a golden mustang, I guessed, wolf, moon, sun, golden, thunder, or a cemetary, sleepy, pillow, calm, bed, etc etc. I dont think Im bragging/I try not to, although in some ways its natural and part of yin and yang cycles so shouldnt repress too much, but it kind of shows that these things Im talking about are not completely out of touch with reality, talking to trees, spirits, past lives etc etc Anyways also I dont know still channeling, I kind of finished 155 days retention or my attempts at it. I wouldnt call it semen retention since I had a fair amount of wet dreams, but I had a strong attempt at no porn/orgasm/masturbation. I had a message, kept occuring about making a painting with naked sexy women in so I did this today, and this seemed to temporarily finish this particular challenge hahah how funny, also bad eating habits passed few days, anyways, I realised that the energy from retaining is what allowed me to delete weaknesses so easily. I dont even do Qigong anymore barely just walk in the park, and delete some weaknesses here and there, sure I may do some more qigong and plan to, but its interesting I used to do hours and hours a day, with retention it is the energy, one just becomes godlike (for lack of humble reference) and zaps away their weaknesses and beliefs, reducing the intensity of feelings. But it can also be a little bit of a drug, since ones so pumped with energy, one doesnt see their weaknesses so much, but if ones not, one gets stressed a little easier (perhaps a belief there) but in a way it can be equally helpful to not retain. Ive been doing healing about not struggling and work, and just like an argument, anything that causes me to go weak. yh I would also say while I respect all people with very high intuition, I would never give away all my faculties to their intuition, I have had a few people predict things for me, that havent come true and were not pleasant predictions, or if they make a faulty prediction, they will tell me that it wasnt faulty because of xyz to justify themself and keep their ego in check, basically I am saying do not give away all your power or life plans (unless you really want to) someone having high intuition is great, but it does not make them a god, even spirits do not seem to know everything, just give their own suggestions based on who they seem to be.
  20. Let's Talk About Afterlife

    such lifes create a lot of bad karma
  21. What films do you enjoy?

    Yes, keep up the story writing, my friend. An example of what I mean is. The Hayao Miyzaki films can really warm ones heart and inspires one to live in a certain way, as do TV series such as Star Trek, Kung Fu and Dragon Ball Z. As can the Lion King for example Such films really motivate and inspire one to be brave, do the right thing etc, I was watching the kite runner two days ago, and I havent cried so much in a film before. It really put things into perspective about being a good person. On the other hand was watching a bit of daredevil the other day, so much violence, competition, what seems like bad messages, When I was 12/13 I started watching gangster films and idealising these people because they seemed cool, powerful and no one messed with them, perhaps it was good for my assertiveness, but there are strong messages in everything. Stories often deliver a message much more powerfully and emotionally than a quote. Certain types of music can embed very negative messages into ones brain, as usually drumming involved puts ones brain into a trance making one more susceptible. However watching a short video like this Can have a powerful effect on ones energy and heart and way of thinking. As can something like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EddvjrHqCkw
