Excessive effort in one direction can lead to an equal swing in the opposite direction to compensate.

What's with this Relative and Absolute Reality dichotomy? It is all very confusing...
idiot_stimpy replied to dwai's topic in General Discussion
Buddha Nature is always there, but in order to know it and experience it and see it is another thing. That's why pointing out instructions pointing with the words of form towards that which cannot be expressed in form is so helpful. The difficulty is for those who see the pointing with words and in an intellectual sense, hold onto the words of the pointing and not the experience. Most including myself, are heavily conditioned hold onto the words that obscures the pure seeing. -
Is 'just sitting' a post-enlightment practice?
idiot_stimpy replied to Vajra Fist's topic in Buddhist Discussion
I've seen teachings when one falls into the dullness described, to take a large breath of air and when exhaling to project a loud thought form of the sound of 'PHAT', intently looking at the PHAT arise and then seeing it disappearing into the space of the mind. -

This is a really good description thank you. -

Those who have not seen and experienced from the absolute viewpoint can only objectify it. But even those who have seen and experienced from the absolute viewpoint must objectify it to talk about it, as words are objects and as you describe "...it can never become an object." -

I think the two truths were needed for more clear discussion about the relative and absolute. Both show different viewpoints from the same place. Just an easier way to discuss things. -
I am glad you are suffering less.

Yet if you believe in reincarnation, there is something that survives the brain at death of the physical body. During introspection within the mind, thoughts are born and die, just as in the gross physical, the body is born and dies. What I am getting at is, self indentification with the changeable, be it thoughts or the body will bring suffering. Yet there is something changeless within. This is not something that is born or dies, it's not of any gender or identity, it is completely free.

My Experience With Tummo By Tulku Lobsang
idiot_stimpy replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Buddhist Discussion
Is Tummo equivalent to Kundalini? -
Suppression/repression vs transcendence is an interesting topic. Suppression is part of the illusion trying to fight another part of the illusion. Transcendence is seeing through the illusion entirely without needing to do anything. A belief held onto can cause internal conflict. Internal conflict is not healthy. One part of us holds onto a belief and another part a contradictory belief. We go to war within ourselves. Spiritual practice shows us we are not our beliefs. We are much deeper than just our thoughts.

My Experience With Tummo By Tulku Lobsang
idiot_stimpy replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Buddhist Discussion
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I believe tummo was kept very secret and for westerners to learn this is amazing in itself. I believe tummo helps purifying the body as you suggested in opening up any bodies energy channels. I think the biggest barrier to entry is finding someone to teach it, especially for westerners. -
Your awareness is non-dual. Your ego/mind is dualistic between both positive and negative, male and female poles and everything in between. Your body is predefined at birth. I accept what nature has given me, even though I see that different parts of me could correspond to something different. This is the relationship between the body, mind, spirit.

Is it worth to dedicate so much time and effort to only be able to stay warm in the cold, or is there something more to it? -
Maddie, if you are reborn as a human in the next life will you have attachment or aversion to the bodies sex at birth or just leave it be?

The difference between waking reality and dream reality
idiot_stimpy replied to idiot_stimpy's topic in General Discussion
Samsara or nirvana, it does not matter, all states good or bad lack self identity when it is all simply seen as a projection. -

Letting go of attachments can be extremely painful if you are not ready to let go. -

The Secret Teachings of the Rainbow Body
idiot_stimpy replied to idiot_stimpy's topic in Buddhist Discussion
Interesting, Dan P Brown states that the Rainbow Body phenomenon has a practice and was warned not to practice them by Menri Trizin, in that it will decrease your life span. Part selected about rainbow body below. Dan Brown also talks about the Rainbow Body in the interview below on Buddha At The Gas Pump. https://batgap.com/daniel-brown/ -
Have anyone here been part of an esoteric society
idiot_stimpy replied to Sir Darius the Clairvoyent's topic in Agrippa Textual Study
Be careful and test whatever group you join, or else you might join a group who enjoy wearing elaborate costumes further increasing their delusion of ego self importance over others.
