indeed

old people are cool too

ah ok

I used to really listen to old school gangster rap and authentic gangster rap which exists in non american places ok maybe america a little bit too, I found the extreme honesty, self expression and self acceptance very refreshing as well as assertiveness, In a way its what I needed to listen to, to grow I think, I liked that energy, nowadays If i listen to some tupac or gangster rap after say doing qigong, I will feel like I am king of the world/warrior of ten thousand men, in a way this is cool but yeh not so cool too. The messages in gangster rap are quite obvious values given are machoness, indifference, criminal mentality, blaming others, poverty, rebellion etc, Im sure much of this music is used as a brainwashing tool by business people eg prisons for profit etc, although I have enjoyed some stuff that talks about darker stuff freely or social inequalities quote from the Iching "You can tell a lot about a person by who they value" ...same thing with pop music values handed down

yes there are many similarities between many faiths, nice music, I guess I am/was being intolerant of what I perceived to be intolerance in others, I guess that doesnt work, love and light engulfs all..

happy holidays

Interesting I dunno sufi music makes me emotional and I agree with sufism but some of the philosophy seems very different to different sufi philosophy, In fact I dont think the core of sufism has anything to do with what can be described with words or philosophies or even language, what if someone couldnt use language how can one show spirituality to them, I guess recep is still learning however sure of himself he appears to be, so I guess in time he will learn to show a little more tolerance for other peoples ideas, methods and ways of life...maybe

"Slamming your d*ck in a door."

True sorry if it sounded like I was doing that, I was merely making a point though, and trying to show where I do it too, for example when I get in a blocked energy state/bad mood I may start to think about things like (changing the world) actually I never do this anymore, then I get angry or whatever (rarely do this anymore) then as soon as I do more qigong I couldnt care less about that certain thing. Also someone said to me once (clairyevoyant about past lifes) that it is not some peoples place to learn about spirituality in this life, their purpose is different in each one, maybe one may be a monk in one life and a business man in next/criminal in another choose to learn different things. Also for me I found the other day about peoples suffering that many spiritual people suffer about trying to alleviate others suffering, are they really content, or do they suffer about these things too, chuang tzu talks about this too, maybe people need to suffer to wake up, taking away anothers suffering could take away their chance for self contemplation and growth. Also I realise one may be in a bad mood and let out some stuff they dont agree with later, this post just expresses some things related to the op

Ok I will quit strengthening the idea of me with these conceptual posts but ah what the heck one more hehe Shame, anger, pride, apathy, etc have their place they are part of the whole, in a way there is no such thing as good and bad. Also "best to be gentle about things" Idk maybe better to be extremely forceful sometimes eg drug addicts? Also many of these things make more money because more people in the society feel that particular way doesnt make it neccessarily good although I guess if more people "benefit" then it is better, what is good? then.. Does one choose to desire? or does the universe desire you, why would one get happy about accomplishing a desire in a way they didnt choose So wu wei let go surrender I guess, but thats conceptual too, because Intent and structure is part of the whole Ok Stillness movement time, but was this a bad post, am I philosophising too much in a way yes, in a way thats being uncompassionate maybe it was good.

facebook, computers etc yeh grandmaster p that has some truth to it too imo, best to best gentle about things..idk

oh and news...demonic mantra lol

To me this is the same kind of thing as porn, soap operas and talk shows (have the effect of turning people psychotic), certain films, video games, different kinds of music, certain books, sugar, types of food etc. A person will likely do those things because they feel they need to, when their energy gets higher, they may feel naturally repelled by it, energy sorts itself, but at the same time maybe good to gently choose different options..

I guess this is true to some extent. I also think there are some hidden negativitys involved (just noticing from my standpoint too and expressing them) from this eg jealousy of others wealth (better to bless their wealth), ego issues, everyone has to make money in this system, yeh there are some flaws but i guess everyones doing the best they can, people have a much greater urge to GIVE VALUE when it means GETTING VALUE for them aka money in many cases, also many people have different goals who are we to judge what someone else should want, maybe that is a hidden anger wishing everyone wanted spirituality more, maybe it is a gateway to "spirituality" maybe "spirituality" is wordless or philosophyless, mostly kindness and good energy with no real beliefs involved, maybe a monk may be less spiritual than a teacher/policeman/businessman... Likely feeling great energy these kind of thoughts would not appear to you

I used to actually think about this question and try to live up to this image, ( ah lovely young me ahah) I would do all kinds of things to try to prove machoness/toughness/assertiveness in a way I was brainwashed by certain social conditioning, in a way it was good for me to become more assertive, but yeh im leaning more toward focusing on how hard one is is very very negative, the focus should be more about kindness, kindness is kindness, weakness is weakness, agression/violence is self attack. ok ill stop preaching

This or that, this and that

i agree mate

Yeh who is it who defines a "true sufi"? because many "true sufis" appear to say this yet there opinions are disregarded by who? and why? and does that have any validity?

very nice responses here, I will add at the moment, my heart is feeling these kind of pains. Not that I have particuarly ended any relationship Some useful thoughts have popped up to me. One is "Maybe it would be nice to experience different great relationships, who knows what will happen " instantly everything shifts, you dont neccessarily have to be harsh and cut off from how you feel but just going with the flow, and watching what comes up, gently setting the intention, and also doesnt mean you have cut the other person off, they may still be in your heart. The future is open going with the flow, gently with awareness Also examine any beliefs you may have about why that person was "the most special and no one can replace her/him" Silly thoughts and irrational beliefs may have just come up, including ones like "I want to wallow in this pain and feel butthurt, oh dating a few women at once is just wrong makes you evil" I can think of more just a bit personal. One thing that helps with heart issues is set the intent of what pain it is you want healed, your desire is important imo, as this is what your heart is struggling with...this helps set the intent very well imo http://www.amazon.co...#R18PT0W791W2JQ then do your normal practices be empty unattached..

actually yeh probably too personal

lol yh ok i can imagine they will be pretty personal, but an exercise in embracing vulnerability i guess

.
