I find some strong beliefs or attachment to ideas in this post. Personally I do think some level of pain can take one closer to god for the reasons mentioned in the first post, for example in tibetan buddhism the god realm is seen as a realm of suffering, in zazen they purposely sit in pain and deal with it, what can be the case if someone is extremely powerful and in bliss all the time but has not experienced pain, pain is humbling

I am noticing slight infatuation in myself, havent had this in a while. Now that I think about it, the mind believes these thoughts are so real, so important, so true, just like all bullshit, everything is just another symptom of this, conditions, beliefs, environments. Solution, Dan tien stay there, emptiness, watch thoughts, let them go.

good points, detachment overly harshly, is not really a detachment but a belief an aversion, even the word detachment triggers the idea of boundaries.. someone once complained of their infatuation to a master, the master says this is good all of it is concentrated in one place

Approval seeking is trying to claim "You" "did" something good or "you" are "good and getting angry about dissaproval is believing someone else "purposely" doesnt like what "you do" But if you look at it from a point of wuwei there was never a you that did something good or bad or is doing something good or bad because everything is nature

Completely non belief based random thoughts. When yang rises from the dan tien this reults in qualities such as agression, pride, desire for power, trying to change and control things and action... Yang can manifest in many forms including preaching and trying to display/prove our own beliefs/try to change the world, interesting to notice how one channels this yang. If Yin and Yang require each other then ideas that Yang is bad are not entirely accurate. Also the idea that Yang automatically means power is conceptual as yin can be just as if not more powerful. Yang yin, Yang, Yang Yang

ok then we are on the same page.

Well basically because I was projected his lineage, I am always going to be doing nei gong, the practice is *edited*.Basically the original form of qigong- trance dance from bushmen but slightly different or ecstatic dance, I think sufis have these kind of dances which are like ecstatic dance and sufi whirling is almost like zhang zhuang (however you spell it) It is Michael Lomax here is a link on this site. http://thetaobums.co...k/page__st__288 I do not wish to disclose his method to everyone (even though this is not the complete thing) so I will edit once you have read

Thanks for the post I am honoured by your love and also think of you as a brother I will get those books, many thanks, yes some people on this board have pointed out stuff about osho. Stillness movement neigong is neigong, but imo it is very legit, many members on this board who have experimented with many practices fully attest to this lineage, whereas verdesi etc is known as a little shady and business like etc. Michael teaches that morality, calmness and practicing stillness movement is the requirement for good practices, I hope that perhaps you can check out his book "ya mu" on here or even take a look at my personal practice journal, I also find it a great method because I can literally do it 24 hours a day However I am also leaning towards mutually cultivating love and morality, whatever gets me there is what gets me there, michael says dont be overly concerned between buddhism/taoism etc because they are all about the same essence Nevertheless I contemplate your message and I would take this as a sign of respect because normally I would be less likely to do so. Have a nice day Love sinan

A gentle 10-15 minute jog in the park after waking up and laughing is good right? Is there any specific way to be doing this. Regards

When I did a vipassana retreat in India these were my thoughts on comparing vipassana to spontaneous movement. Self torture so you can get to some spiritual payoff eventually (not now and possibly not even later) versus fun, joy gentle movement which is paying off now and probably even more so later. However I cannot comment on ideas of heaven and hell. oh and thanks for the book reccomendation grandmaster p

I struggle to understand what e.t thoughts says lot too, but I think he was saying "this is heaven now, right here, if this was heaven this would be it" but the concepts and beliefs take one out of heaven.

I wanted cookies so I bought them, wu wei!

Hello I am half turkish but have lived in turkey until 4 years old, switzerland until 6 and have since lived in london, thus I know very little turkish, lovely place and people though. nice to have a fellow turk here, ah were all humans, earthlings, universlings anyways haa Ok I see the being thing makes sense. "God is everything you are a part of" This is basically saying "oneness, nothingness, emptiness"? Do you have any books written on sufism to reccomend in English? I read a few books on sufism from osho, but Im sure it is a little skewed, my understanding seems to be that "buddhist or hindu or sufi or christian or taoist or zen enlightenment" is basically the same thing with different words, concepts and languages. Any how I believe in Stillness movement neigong (lololol) and that which I cannot describe with words which may or may not be "allah or god", are words and beliefs and concepts really that important? Is it just a belief that they seperate, can one explain without speaking anything or using language, is language required or is it more about energy? love sinan

hi winniepooh_ank What is the definition of "allah" in sufism? Are you also allah? I find when religions claim that god is a man in the sky that decides everything for this to be a tool for exploitation and disempowerment, I personally belive (not too strongly) that if everyone and everything is god, then people couldnt be kept as slaves or exploitated which seems to be the case when an african country would get destroyed then forced to convert to christianity as a disempowerment thing to control people. I have some interest in sufism actually, but these words and concepts often point to the same essence peace and love yoo

I want chocolate

As of today Im actually finding stillness movement like super deep meditation where I go to sleep and am aware and let every thought or perception pass while watching it...whereas before it was mostly just shaking...So yeh I find my bodys going to sleep and Im kind of awake..I also think its a big part of this stillness movement to watch and release the karmic strength of certain emotional or thought patterns.

love ya too

coolio

no homo

love ya too bro, you little angel cloud you

yes, yes, yes yes...good point on choosing what to focus on desire versus desire to not desire

love ya bro you seem like a cool guy (this was not an amog attempt haha)

ps master one wonders one guesses at one was thinking and one was completely wrong, why were you wrong? Please dont be wrong,, wrong is like wong he ooks chinese noodles but often pees in the bushes because that is the way of real qigong masters they are weel like wheels or wagon whells

ok master please tell me why is the green red? what about chicks or chicks with dicks,# what about rockets why are they native american, why drums drum like a bag of rice dropping into the wind oh master please answer

"my" thoughts on this are less black and white, sometimes focusing on trying to change is law of attraction thing some truth, on the other hand everything has its place including the desire to not want to spend all day in desire, but so does hate (perceiving something as a threat) anger (resistance) bababa bobobobobo jlha fokmfjm<Aúheksdm;kjknd laa la
