  5. I have performed 5-6 fast admiteddly only for 3 days each time. Some of my fasts were 72 hours of awareness on the lower dan tian including sleep, and that definately counts as energetic practice. I didnt have the energy to sit or do heavy exercise But what one does with their mind is always a form of energy cultivation for example, one can write poems eg channel and download information, or delete weaknesses eg the yuen method or chant mantras, listen to calm music, go for long walks in nature, sit in nature, these are all forms of energy cultivation. In a way every thought, intention, feeling, belief, action is a form of energy practice and acts of kindness are powerful energy practice. I realised that even discussing so called supernatural things even subtly with others (normal people) can be a very subtle form of bragging or disharmony and contributed to feeling less healthy aka making you sick, so behaviour patterns can be a form of energy work.
  6. Attaining Emptiness - constant Reduction?

    Cool...synchronistic..I am looking to move to Puerto Vallarta. Thats nice of them. You must have enjoyed living there? I see, I havent read that book. I rarely read books anymore as I feel it engages my mind rather than my spirit, I download information during Intuitive movement/meditation, and occasionally synchronistically open a book to the right spot or come across some cool information. However I am always open to looking at books and learning, so may decided to have a read. For the issue of transparency I didnt write that. I copied and pasted it from the group meditation section of this site which thetaoiseasy wrote. I also believe that the view "everything is an illusion" can be helpful for some, but can also be somewhat negative, and perhaps a little inaccurate seeing as all beliefs are partially correct and partially innaccurate. But that is just my own view, I live in the world and have spent 24 hours a day in meditation before but I feel that this is too extreme, and depressing.

  10. Finding his life path required some thought. It stressed him out, made him think that he was nobody unless he was very good at one particular thing that others could recognise him for. He felt like he had to be good at something. He felt like he had to hurry otherwise time was running out and he would be doomed to a job he hated and couldn’t deal with forever. He didn’t trust in himself to put his creative ideas to good use. Even though he had extreme creativity he felt like he couldn’t do anything with it. He needed to relax though, forcing himself to create with deadlines, pressure, thoughts of trying to become somebody or be better than others in some way wasn’t the way. He realised it had to come out of joy and love and be something that he loved to do for its own sake. So he put aside thoughts of deadlines, he put aside thoughts that he had to endure a job he hated until he could find a way to create and decided to instead ponder on that everything was in harmony and he would manifest the perfect situation. He would instead find a way to enjoy things and love his life, with the reward coming as a little bit of sauce on the meal. What did he enjoy doing? What made his heart beat? What made him feel joy? What made him excited and happy? Questions he could contemplate during his dance meditations, Qigong or walking. The answers would come to him as they usually did receiving inspiration from higher beings and his higher self. When he didn’t eat so much his channels were really open and he received so much wisdom. Contemplating upon serene joy certain Images popped up in his head. Flashes of nature trails, walks of solitude by waterfalls flashed into his heart filling him with peace. He did like to write as long as there was no pressure involved. He knew that he was a bit lazy with grammar and punctuation and felt like he was so focused on truly expressing himself he cared little for trying to adhere to strict rules of language and pleasing the mind of the person reading it. However it was now time to gently pay a little attention to writing in a decent manner. Writing an appreciation journal everyday helped fill his mind with a positive, appreciative attitude and allowed him to contemplate any beliefs, behaviours, thoughts and patterns that could be made more harmonious. He had an immense amount of power from his spiritual practices but this power meant nothing without positivity and a place to share it. As soon as he became super pressured and convinced he had now found the one true way that would make him money or support him for the rest of his life, this gave him pressure and inflated his ego. Putting too much importance on a form of play made it a form of work, pressure and created a love and hate relationship with his art. When he found himself knowing his lifes future this bored him, this made his sense of joy diminish , his craft was no longer play but a mere means to some end that would lead to some ficitious ego fulfilment that he could use to brag to others. He found this funny and realised it was out of pure love that his life was playfully to be led by. Sometimes he had certain ideas such as I cant say that, because its not considered cool, its not respected or considered weird. These kind of ideas wore on his heart, he needed to learn that by following his own heart and trusting in himself that’s where the beauty comes from. His joy and passion for his expression was contagious. Any desperation, struggle, frustration or nagging rush to finish or hurry was also contagious and within any words written was the energy of the person who wrote it. He was listening to calm dolphin sounds on his computer, having slept for four hours while maintaining inner awareness of his belly. This was impressive to him but he was worried he would need more sleep later, well lets save later for later, the time is now. He was looking forward to spending some nice time in nature with the solitude, sounds of the birds singing, sounds of the waterfall rushing, the wind, the river and the gentle love of the earth beneath his barefeet. He would go on a spontaneous walk walking wherever he felt like, not having any rush or deadlines to adhere to and allowing his whole being to just respond to the let go and surrender of his intention. One with nature, a part of nature, his friends the trees there to give him true unconditional friendship and love.

  12. Attaining Emptiness - constant Reduction?

    Theme 5.2 1/03/13 EMPTY MIND __________________________________________________________________________________________ In spiritual circles, the word "emptiness" is often thrown out as a buzzword for the state of enlightenment, non-duality, wisdom, etc. But emptiness can be understood in many ways. For some, emptiness means that life is inherently empty. These people adopt a pessimistic view. So what if you got into graduate school? So what if you finally found the love of your life? So what if you finally beat a chronic health problem that's been nagging you forever? It's all empty. We will all eventually get old, sick and die. Because of this, we should just focus on getting out of the world. To me, this view is still relatively transcendent compared to what most people think. Most people think that getting into graduate school will give them a true education. They believe that finally a companion will leave them complete and there is nothing left to do in this world. They believe that just because they are no longer physically sick all their other life problems will be solved. Both views are extreme. The true beauty of emptiness is not believing life is inherently empty, or that our existence is completely "full." The real beauty comes from having a empty mind. An empty mind is essentially a neutral mind that can embrace all things. It achieves this by not placing value judgments on everyone and everything that comes into view. We don't automatically say this is good, or this is bad. And this type of attitude allows you to play life at its own pace. You have goals in life, but if they don't go as plan, you're still okay. You can enjoy life, but you know your enjoyment is the not the most important thing. You can be happy for no reason, even if it rains -- the rain can be fun, too! To me, this is the most constructive attitude. Yet you cannot fake or pretend to have an empty mind. An empty mind comes from understanding one thing. "As long as my spirit is pure and intact, I'll be okay." .

  14. Pony religion?

    Once upon a time there was a pony who was asleep He woke up but was also asleep dreaming that he was awake but asleep Awakening he knew he was the whole universe at this moment He carried on with his life, you know carrying water, chopping wood Also following his heart and starting a business with golf and tree houses Eventually he met a pretty pony Called Urculess Who realised that she could entice him with but just a wipp of her voice She kept trying but as pony was more interested in his own body than smothering her body with horse semen all the time She failed But the one day Pony got the idea that he was the leader in the relationship and wore the trousers So he went to the shop and bought some trousers He accidentally got some paint on them, but decided to make the rest of his trousers match symmetrically Then decided it didnt work But then decided to get some new trousers again The trousers were cool and made of liquorice Which he used as his trick to seduce Urculess and ravage her hoofs in lustful romance He banged her hoofs making sweet love and nine months later another pony came out All the ponys danced in a circle worshipping the joy of now

  16. Passive Aggressiveness On The Spiritual Path

    Attacks from another will only seem like an attack if it resonates and strikes with something inside of us that we dislike and realise we are repressing somewhat. A billionaire being called a tramp by a tramp will probably not get offended. Often we react most strongly or encounter situations that bring out or pain.. Just food for thought.
  17. My last post for a while, many are appeased.

  18. My last post for a while, many are appeased.

    Also pay attention to Yin/Yang balance...spirituality makes you very yin, Use exercise for yang
  19. I healed 4 or 5 past life memories ranging from beating my son, beating beaten by dad running away from home setting the house on fire, conquering native american lands and accidentally killing my wife..all these experiences seemed to embed a lot of doubt and regret into my body. After that there is strong difference in such feelings.. Questioning ones deepest assumptions..Asking is it true? What is silly about this? How do I react when I believe this? Who I would I be without this belief? The opposite of this belief? 3 proofs that the opposite is just as true....I.e Byron Katie I have been doing a lot of today...I think I channel, plus it has a very strong energetic effect, I dont know who says that philosophy, contemplation etc is useless because a single belief can be extremely powerful and zen koans are pretty much that contemplation. Anyways sleeping meditation, meditation, dancing is a different energetic practices to such questioning and doubting methods which can leave one a bit anti belief what is wrong with this idea obssessive instead of an allowing mindset. But I like harmony with practices and deal with things in an intuitive balanced way.
