Nothing, not even nothing.

During WW2 it was reported the Russian soldiers feared Stalin more than Hitler.

The mouth can only be silenced when it is realized where the mouth derides its power from. Does the power come from the mouth, or something deeper.

Governments fear their own populations and even more armed populations. Consider the psychological effects on society's beliefs when there is crisis, and those who move in darkness to take advantage.

Jesus is the way. That way is love and surrender.

What can it do?

I have always wondered what the difference between illumination and enlightenment were? Any ideas?

Thanks Jetsun, made sense!

I've got nothing

I am interested in how people do this? Have you found people also radiate the opposite to calming energy?

The moment, wandering, time and thought are intuitively seen as phenomena.

Ok from my limited research, it could be the Chi channels opening up. You may find the energy vibration to be very heavy, and then after persistent practice, the energy getting more and more fine. This could be the energy system refining itself. Then when it becomes so pure, it is like infinite space. I am not even sure on this myself, so I don't want to misguide you. Please use your own logic and reason.

A lot of people will not explain the 'whys' of different sensations during meditation, as there is a great danger that the person will become fixated on replicating the sensations and believe these are the fruit of the path. These sensations come and go, but what never leaves and never changes?

I thought you were on a dark retreat and not meant to be disturbed...

I'm interested to know what you think happens beyond existence and non-existence, subject and object, time and space? Existence and non-existence, subject and object, time and space are phenomenal objects appearing to the mind that come and go. Existence and non-existence, subject and object, time and space, are no different from cat dog, horse fence, cup table.

how can you trust them though?

What if that which is choosing to perceive the reality is held still for 10 minutes. During that 10 minutes what is left? If there is an answer, then that which is choosing to perceive reality has not been held still.

Thank you very much Deci. I am interest to know about the coldness in the scrotum. One thing that has accompanied the pain and energy movement at the Jade Pillow is incredibly cold air passing through the nose. Almost like breathing pure cold oxygen. I have had lots of strange sensations, only this time it has given me considerable discomfort at the back of the neck.

Not sure of the Lucifer stuff, but very much enjoyed this.

You will not understand unless you experience this yourself. This is on the level of intuition and not something you just learn. This is the difference between the conditioned and unconditioned. Everything you know is conditioned. Going beyond the conditioned what is left?

Emptiness is not a blind belief. If you even get a glimpse of it, it will rock your whole mental structure. That which is seen before belief. Deconstruct, deconstruct, deconstruct.
