I agree with you on the "vamps" thing. However I also think its pretty uncompassionate to label someone a psychic vampire I mean Im sure Ive done it to some extent in the past and probably still do it subtly its a very unconscious thing and to label someone a psychic vampire and run away from them, is like calling them a demon and completely dehumanising them, everyones not perfect you know. I hope/I trust you do this is a humble respectful way when you label people

T.S, on 25 Jan 2013 - 12:34, said: How do you do it? People around my area tend to, on the whole, be rather superficial and judgemental...I'm not saying this because I think I'm superior in any way, but after having some mind-blowing spiritual experiences, and being into all the stuff I am, I simply don't feel as if I belong/fit in around here at all. I've always been a bit "sensitive", and it's almost like I pick up, on some level, people's conditioned notions of what a male my age, in an area like this, "should" be like. The good news is, I'm working towards moving to another part of the country (or possibly overseas) next year, but in the mean time, how can I learn to just...accept? It's quite possible I'm making too much of this, and just need to seek out more friends in other parts of town, but for some reason I seem to have trouble in that area (making new connections that is). Aaaaah, just venting. I understand how annoying it can be to be talked down to as if the older person must be older and wiser and you re just a complete idiot, kind of like they suck your energy, this is turn affects self esteem and might make you do this to others, however I guess people have their preconceptions and if you have certain expectations and/or devloped more confidence people may hesitate to do this to you, also I guess fame or whatevr can be a bad thing sometimes with people leeching off you, maybe better to hide your light sometimes, dont want to rub anything in other peoples faces either I guess.

I would like to delete a thread

You should make your own thread...probably wont get seen in here.

"Taking a shit"

"One plus One equals zero"

dont jinx it man lol

I have been doing this almost for the past year either travelling or by myself and often before as well. If one is surrounded by a group of people who constantly dictate to them what they should think and who they should be and who they cant be because it may offend them, this will severely impact their evolution. If one learns to be much more at ease and at peace with long periods of maybe not full solitude but much greater solitude, then one will not rely on seeking social approval so much because one is happy in their own company (at least to a much greater degree) there is no need to hang out with certain people because one wants to be told they are good or to accept mistreatment or bad company. Also I have been struggling with this but getting better, I see it as a "spiritual practice" in a way like fasting because if you are accustomed to living life with all kinds of luxuries and see that it is only possible to feel satisfied with the luxury of this and that, then one will crave more of this and aggressively fear having "less" sure no one wants to be poor, but fear of being poor often creates it too, when one can deal with what one has more effectively then this is almost like being more controlled with sex drive/food. One is stronger and thus able to be more virtous and themselves. Yeh there are downsides too I guess.

Are you really sure about that one mate? I use filtered water and bless it, but each to their own, im just pretty sure normal tap water is rubbish?

Kinda reminds me of mexico and dancing to this song all the time hahaaha

Ok- The following is conceptual rubbish to some degree, anyways I think it is a nice way to view things. And non duality includes duality I guess. I just see or sometimes/try to see everyone as my best friend that either I havent fully connected with yet because of conversational skills/fluff talk/social skills/language barriers or the other persons mind mud/ignorance, the way I see it from examining my own mind everyone just wants the best, even if they hate themselves somehow they want the best and are doing it from fear/wanting safety because they believe it is best to do so, everyones beliefs tell them most of the time what they are doing is the best thing to do, someone cant possibly do what they think is bad or more importantly feel is bad because then they wouldnt do it, even if they have been told they are a bad person and look for validation of that this is in their own current sel finterest for pity or whatever, anyways to some degree everyone is perfect and even people who I may not want to hang around with because their mind mud/ignorance causes them to act in ways I prefer not to be around I still see them as deep down my best friend and forgive them because if they knew/saw things clearly they would of course do whats best, but it seems whats best for them anyways. Yeh, this is a little idealistic but still.

sorry about that mate took me like 3 weeks to get mine lol

I wouldnt spend a lifetime trying to REMOVE all past anger, maybe you can do a bit of that, but in my opinion just dwells on it and perpetuates it. Im not sure about this though, I did a lot of that and think it has its place but definately fuels a lot of egoic psychoticness. If you do want to work on this trauma things like eft matrix reimprinting, shen healing, the healing codes yuen method may address certain specific things. Also being yourself and expressing yourself has its place but at the same time IMO people take this quite far to the extreme and just vomit out all their anger too, in my opinion this is unneccessary and perpetuates ideas of "being an angry person" or dwelling on past hurts. Better to raise your vibration read the taoteching or chuang tzu, emphasises gentleness, peace, contentment etc, being angry has a lot to do with unfulfilled expectations, resistance etc, find a method that will help connect you to the NOW, present moment, there are many I prefer stillness movement. You can heal things WHILST being in a state of deep peace...also the idea of healing perpetuates a lot of silly ideas. I dont mean to put down healing..I think it has its place sometimes, but it is also limiting in my opinion. Just my thoughts peace

Yeh its tricky, I might be rationalising that one should try to live through it, because of some inferiority issues or something, on the other hand I may be what one calls sensitive, I dont think that being sensitive should always mean being in hiding, I mean I can walk in a rough place with a happy carefree gentle attitude etc, and people smile back this has nothing to do with being tough really. Also I thought of some other things I used to hate going to work and having to deal with being constantly treated like a piece of dirt by some boss, I used to hate seeing "rich" people while I would struggle for nothing. But I guess like most things this is my own mind rubbish, my own arragance possibly but not fully on one level its good to have some level of pride on another, everyone probably needs to take orders sometimes, I struggled taking orders when not given respectfully. Also if you think about it people like to challenge themselves...fasting, celibacy/retention, solitude etc etc, if someone is super rich and lives the most perfect lifestyle, perhaps one day they might like to challenge their inner peace to see if they can still be calm in normal life, i mean it makes sense I probably would like to know that I could handle normal life and am not completely "incompetent of it" perhaps it is sensitive, i dunno, i dont know if i want to pay attention to that word though. I heard of a japanese master of seiki (kind of spontaneous movements/shaking whatever) would make one of her students wash her floor for hours everyday for years, this is interesting, going with the flow and letting go being taught here I guess.

Can you repeat lol

.

bump...I am experimenting with this and zazen is just 20 minutes of enlightenment interesting to see other people find it complimentary to qigong.

thanks good tips actually i think i did close to everyday for months at a time lol

Thanks yeh I hope you are well too, I have found answers to my "questions" cheers

edit - will keep practicing, experimenting ask questions later

Thetaoiseasy I find if I have had problems sleeping in the past, I would actually ejaculate to drain myself and go to sleep, I dont do this anymore...but yeh I dunno, also how come fasting makes it impossible to sleep?

oh I see.. haha Thanks
