taoism...mentions go with the flow, no plans, no fixed ideas...It is just my intuition so feel free to ignore but I get the idea that studying the tao te ching would be great for you On the other hand I dont know guess it could work out great...sufi masters used to perform magic to prove the existence of god...although I think there idea of god was more like tao than alllah..

You mean where your breath up bringing the arms up then breathe down bringing arms down bring arms to a moon on one side, step out, part the horses mane...yeh I was looking at this video seems pretty cool there seems to be many different versions of this though...

On another note...money can be used to do great things...although intefering who knows what is great etc, but there is an element of money being of great use.

fucking beautiful

interesting ideas..care to expand or anyone else want to chime in... edit hmm Ill ponder this myself.. I guess this fits into the idea that wealth is not neccessarily money or a large house or designer clothes/car. To be rich while your brothers/planet is poor..is that rich or poor? What is self? In the Tao te ching, they say keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt, keep filling your bowl and it will spill..So I guess there is such a thing as excess. While I ponder this I question which way am I rationalising this and how does it fit into my current mold or reality, I am currently not rich (actually other thread I am rich) just not in the conventional sense..but hey who cares about the conventional sense it doesnt neccessarily mean anything.

Is extroadinary. Human potential is MASSIVELY exceeding most peoples wildest dreams. Everyone has genius inside of the, everyone has buddha nature inside of them, everyone is capable of exceptional things. TV programs limiting beliefs, disempowers you, so does school, religions, film, family etc..limitations are illusions of the mind..how empowered can one be without illusions.

Yes good points here.. Afterall when one feels amazing does one feel that the world is not in harmony perhaps we might acknowledge it intellectually but decide not to dwell on it too much, still somehow feeling like the world is not in balance...for example when we feel low, we easily come to low emotional states which tend to manifest in thoughts that are weakest. While the idea that the world is in harmony or not is an idea.. The feeling of being in harmony yourself matters

Let me guess dragonball z, naruto, avatar...not so familiar with the last two but in my opinion these are very inspiring things...love them

I agree with the thoughts of this post..of course he is trying to dismiss the popular notion of friendship, so it may seem unbalanced as all posts of this shedding illusions nature seem to be.

Good to hear mate..

I was on a motorway the details were fuzzy but it seemed like me and other people I knew/friends/past accquaintences were riding vehicles of some sort on the motorway but everything was open, then i realise i could skate on the motorway without any shoes, so I started going very fast like I was skiing, started getting scared I was going so fast wondering if stopping would be dangerous or how to stop, looking at friends for guidance, then i wondered if I should stop like skiiers stop or go on the grass. anyhow I noticed like some spiral/bagua trigram like a black background with flashing white lights resembling a trigram like in the I ching, I vaguely remember a thought about lucid dreaming/astral projecting so I decided to stare at the light then my body started tensing feeling electrified but I felt scared like I could leave my body/die so I decided to stop. One interesting epiphany I had though is that the subconscious mind heals on a subconscious level so intefering with the conscious is not always neccessary.

nice did circle walking today very energising

Well Im from England so I cant do it, thanks anyways

hmm my mind changes on these things when I dont work and study life is all fine... Go to work in a restaurant in london for a few days see the misery, fear and sadness and ignorance in everyones eyes while walking through its really depressing...but then i try to ignore it

Personally I think its blatantly obvious there are certain systems in place to keep people stupid, consuming, buying useless things they dont need, thinking in certain ways...competition, aggressiveness, unhappy, disempowered...

cheers will have a look, i hate some types of work..

So yeh here are some random spontaneous drawings oh yeh one spontaneous poem, I find spontaneous drawings really get you into the flow and surrender and spontaneous poems or words bring out wisdom inducing a shamanic state, aldeous huxley also mentions how copying (as in copying and drawing) really improves your sense of perception...anyhow I do it because i like it and I dont care whether it is useful or not as that kind of destroys the point of it The first indicates expressing ideas, getting ideas out. The second is putting memorie into the picture, ideas like stealing energy, the filter/lens on reality, focusing on different parts of the drum you see what you focus on upside down earth how we may be upside down we just think were up...spontaneoity I like the idea of maybe using my creativity to live in this system/make money because I dislike most other ways...but of course have to improve skills a bit

^ Grandmaster P I respect your advice..but I think this may be unwise seeing as a hospital would just lock him up in a mental home, perhaps it is like some demonic possession or something spiritually related?

Ok ideas are forming. Personally my ability to surrender let go, go with the flow have got exceptionally good in comparison to the COLD HARD DISCIPLINE....good to have both I guess. I remember Alan Watts discussing this. One lecture I think Zen and bones were he was discussing letting go but you cant let go completely otherwise you could become like a rag doll and just jump in the lake so you got to have a spine, a back bone. Also another lecture he was talking about suzuki and one student asked suzuki "master how can we practice surrendering if we have to have set times to eat everyday and wake up at a certain time" I cant remember the response but it was something silly and funny possibly hitting with a stick.

and thanks Grandmaster P interesting, yeah I will come up and see you sometime soon

Thanks gerard...I am somewhat familiar/doing these things but will do more I guess. Do Stillness movement many hours a day too. What is IMA training? Have been researching bagua or pakua seems very cool though

nice stuff here... (failed to figure out how to use the picture thing so nevermind)

I swear you can communicate with trees. Also you can feel their energy. The forest is also home to plants which are also equally great When your in a forest you feel right at home and you can feel your connection to nature and oneness, it almost acts like a psychadelic. You breathe fresh clean oxygenated air, you can hear the music of the forest which is birds singing or wind or water flowing which is more authentic than a relaxation cd but both are good I guess. Walking barefoot is something to consider as well have been reading about that and just generally feels good as does lying front first (only done this in a garden so far though) Sungazing is an interesting practice too have been doing that. Doing Qigong after sunrise works great. http://aoda.org/Arti...ee_Qi_Gong.html http://www.mindbodyg...ot-Outside.html http://www.in5d.com/sun-gazing.html http://news.softpedi...alk-45806.shtml
