lucid dreaming, sleeping qigong

lol when i worked/if i ever decide to i bet ill just use it as a chance to "cultivate" got me thinking maye its irrational last time i worked i would stay in lower dan tien and explode at my boss for telling me what to do too many times haha before that I just did inner smile all day, most harmonious is when I just did nothing at all...interesting topic this hope im not going offtopic

yeh true.. Also there seems to be a reason why a lot of traditions value treating their cultivation with a playful attitude, a serious attitude, is against harmony, peace...to some extent, not to say one should never be serious.

Actually a few months ago before I really did stillness movement, all I did was read a bit of the tao te ching, for the rest fo my day I "did" absolutely nothing..Let go and surrendered. I would find myself doing really cool things as if I was on holiday and drunk/on drugs and also I would get very high. I find it more difficult to combine wu wei and lower dan tien awareness..maybe this comes in time. Whereas another day I would do all these different breathing practices/mantras etc and I was in a constant state of "doing" didnt really achieve much peace, same is true with dance or being with someone you love, most likely you will not have any thoughts about "trying to escape samsara and find enlightenment"

I thought that article was pretty cool, also watched the lord of the rings just now..decent story i thought, maybe u prefer the book..

good film was it?

.

im sorry im not reading that lol thats like 5 pages of scientific jargon kind of reminds me of five pages of legal jargon on agreements that no one reads cos they cant understand it

You post much great stuff but as you say "no man is wise at all times"

I am also curious as to this claim mess up your synapse. I would come up with random replys to why smoking weed is bad to my brother like 7 years ago eg it makes you stupid, thinking back it was kind of ignorant, but im just curious as to where this came from..

lol lsd and peyote/ayuascha/iboga not sure if the same category but yeh maybe u got a point... peyote is worshipped in native american cultures..it is medicine, same with iboga and ayauascha You seen that film jacobs ladder I wonder what lsd actually is?

yeh but psychadelics arent really recreational more like once evry few years kind of thing

Hello Leon It was an enjoyable read, I think you have a definate talent for writing, and offer some interesting insights and seem very genuine too! Actually I found it inspiring, I realised I like to write too. Peace

will have a read and let u know..

very good post once again thetaoiseasy..

....people say violent videogames or movies have no effect on them at all. REALLY? Is that why someone spend $ 4 million on an advert in the superbowl slot?

Ok ill be more specific I know you like rap music so did/do I...but when you get into deeper awarenesss youll notice that certain types of energy come from certain things, certain belief systems and values are handed down...a lot of rap music promotes violent values instead of compassionate, forgiving, kind ones, also it instills things like ghetto/poverty mentality, blaming mentality, victim mentality etc. Try to find peaceful music you like...to be honest even music that seems peaceful like bob marley is still full of messages like "gotta change the world" which is bearable but still puts me off a bit, instead of harmonious music eg everything is good now. Use your own intuition to try to create your own social conditioning.. peace

Best not to dwell on it too much...although youde be advised to stay away from harmful brainwashing

Is this like trauma release stuff. EFT matrix reimprinting, Yuen method, the healing codes, dream yoga too... Im not sure how relevant this is...sometimes I think its amazing, sometimes I think it adds to the ego..If im being honest.

...

Im guessing a master will know the perfect thing to say which actually may have nothing logically to do with "teaching" or "being a boddhisattva" or "master" but gets the job done..hmm gets the job done sounds a bit harsh more emerges one into the state of harmony in a non doing way, spontaneously...

yeh...I think its more about actions and feeling behind the words rather than empty talk...when its coming from a place of anger, jealousy, desire etc

Not 100% sure on this, someone who exudes peace, truth, love, harmony/wisdom, people will likely feel something from. People who are getting angry at the state of others not being enlightened/lifestyle choices, judging others etc usually rub people the wrong way and are proving something. (sometimes I do this too)

Personally I can have more compassion to "murderers, drug addicts" etc etc because my mind has labelled them as such and I dont take them so seriously. A little more effort is required for people whos opinions I value and also seem to possess personality traits or behaviours I resist in myself or who are doing things which go against any hidden desires for approval, security, control, existence etc
