Yeh im sure some of them are manmade some of them seem pretty authentic to me, appear in the middle of the night, in the rain, huge complicated delicate patterns tested by science equipment seem to be microwaved

fasting for three days too much emptiness, too much spirituality...too muchhhh

lol yeh but i just have the urge to do something normal and non spiritual haha

avatar? off to watch a documentary about crop circles

lol

Do you mean that seriously or is that a joke, and yeh I guess so

Peace to you my friend On the topic of aliens Not that I really know anything about hybrids but apparantely there is a fairly large percentage of human species which is hybrid, apparantely I am hybrid although I do not think or acknowledge this fact, sometimes see aliens in visions though, also in the yuen method which is quite reputable/creditable they have a section dedicated to removing pain from alien implants... hmm

I think I am doing it now, whilst justing doing stillness movement naturally maybe I am doing it because I have let my attention drop from ldt in the past week and it just went to upper dan tien, but keeping it on lower dan tien brings more energy into my body, but good to combine this "focus" with "letting go" as to avoid getting too tight.

lol

Thanks for the post mate

Lifting is great for your energy flow, such as the typical barbell lifts. It will only improve your qigong. This is interesting why is this?

Hmm I decided to experiment with a few things one of them was to watch the spirals inside and outside the body instead of shaking I was around people so perhaps it was justified experiement, did this for 12 hours one day, also completely let go of focus on ldt, It seems to block my energy doing so, like I put too much effort in, anyways Ive also been doing stillness movement this week, have got some EXTREMELY DEEP STILLNESS in zazen this week, also the energy goes straight to my third eye and even to above my head I can feel it, also Ive felt massive pain in my forehead/third eye, I just ate to get rid of the pain, but perhaps this was stupid. Also Ive felt very "drunk" a few times this week..I also felt maybe I should keep a very very light awareness on ldt as suggested but I find it difficult to do so without blocking my energy but still feel high if I do..

This thread has provided some interesting perspectives on meat eating perhaps there is more merit to it than my closed mind thought. Or perhaps I only crave meat when I fast...second day...never been so peaceful though. A question on weightlifting Im hearing its good to build body strength for qigong.I feel I am losing some due to thinking its bad for energy flow..is this true? Perhaps swimming, zhuang zhang etc is good, but anytime I do do weights for a few weeks my strength explodes due to energy work, I remember the few times I have tried weights (used to do a lot I mean in the past year) my results were phenomenal dumbbell bench press went up like 10kg on each dumbbell..

.

plus there are certain members here who discuss being enlightened or experiences that say its happened, yet are constantly being arragant or horrible or rude, why should i consider these people enlightened that is not enlightened

I guess even overcoming fears and persistence are part of wuwei too

just shaking some thoughts

hmmm I am pondering this, I have been in the state of wu wei/surrender a few days in the past few months..Also could one call being very drunk a couple years back very similar to that state. To me it is very difficult to control extreme emotions that cloud your judgement, otherwise wed all be enlightened to some extent we are at their mercy, It is similar to painting spontaneously, the colours and patterns I paint depend on whats inside of me, If I feel angry different colours come, I have little control over my conscious. Also in regards to things like wealth/relationships etc...If one is "financially lacking" because of deeply ingrained beliefs, then part of being in the wu wei maybe to investigate what kind of beliefs attract abundance, I am more and more curious of this, and will let go of any need to be right, in order to soundly investigate truth, if I take out my dog for example, I have a set path because I dont want my dog to run off in the road, if I completely let go in the park i may start spinning in circles, but when no one is around, I dont want anyone to see this so I control it somewhat when people are around, is this part of surrender too? Also I think many including myself think about compassion etc then at one point repress themselves, I dont think compassion always means let others walk all over you, or that you have to be "perfectly 100% kind without fail" maybe more of an ideal to aim towards, perhaps it happens naturally in that state of deep let go, the third chakra is the power chakra, it exists for a reason, Im not so sure about repressing this energy maybe keeping it there for awareness...

Here is my own view on your question bare in mind I am open to being off the mark and I also would like to cultivate more compassion. In Zen they value emptiness, but they also value compassion. These are the two things they value. Even if you surrender are empty etc, you still live in the world, your mind and subconscious still operate, so if you practice doing nothing, and let go and be in the wuwei what happens will be as a result of the belief systems, subconscious etc that operates. This may seem paradoxical but both can exist at the same time...

I appreciate the post On compassion: You strengthen connections in the human brain every time you think certain thoughts, overtime your ability and ease to think thoughts of compassion increases...seeing things from anothers perspective, sending love to enemies, accpeting repressed parts of yourself, seeing everyone as yourself, seeing everyone as making the best possible decision they can according to their current knowledge, thoughts/beliefs, there are certain thoughts/beliefs which may inhibit one from being compassionate or valuing compassion eg compassion is a form of weakness and feminine, I am not good enough the way I am etc, also the more you cultivate the more you get rid of negative emotions and beliefs which get in the way of your being in an amazing state which will make you more likely to react.

happy birthday to u, i mean winter solstice

I was imitating someone on this thread..it didnt work out very well though...hmm

You know one of my biggest flaws I realise today is because of many hours of spiritual work I consider I know the best ways and unconsciously try to change others/family...even though sometimes it is very faint, I think of things like tv and adverts as poison, but my family would suggest Im insulting them and trying to change them, this is difficult because I dont want them to poison themselves in my eyes but I dont want to insult or try to change them... hmm

but if i ever do something considered uncompassionate I will justify it by saying I am somehow being compassionate

Im compassionate, your not,
