Could you call them powers? Like a man who can see for the first time? Do you have suggestions or do not believe in such abilities at all?

Military psy operations and studies, very interesting stuff... true or not *shrugs* Those who acquire power before they are prepared to handle it tend to self-destruct. This is why practice without the correct intention is so incredibly dangerous. The energy itself seperates the wheat from the chaff. The self governs psychic potential, and it will drive you mad... ^ from all accounts this is what happen(s)ed They would take children and "train" them against their will etc / the childrens personalities would be split... through horrendously evil techniques and they would lock certain abilities inside different fragments using mind control programming to access when required by the controllers These children were extremely volatile and would psychically kill their holders... most of the time the child would be sedated until required... the paper work is rather graphic and detailed conspiracy theory stuff - who knows You often seen in Chinese film the different approaches to abilities... one being through love and the other being through pain / anger etc (basically) and these two characters would battle (Starwars, Jedi and Sith?) A number of western films too regarding the above (military psy)... I wonder where they get their inspiration from? Push 2009 is one such film "A group of young American ex-pats with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities are hiding from a clandestine U.S. government agency. They must utilize their different talents and band together for a final job enabling them to escape the agency forever." imdb + stuff like Heroes (TV series) Xmen, Firestarter, The Fury, Scanners All involve super psychic children and government agencies maybe it is all just fantasy

Firstly I do not endorse the use of LSD - Simply interested in the description of her experience and how that may relate to or not results achieved through meditation + other methods of cultivating expanding awareness.

yes and no haha

Tao begins where Buddhism ends

You say Buddhas don't experience enlightenment twice By your reasoning Buddhas should not experience enlightenment even once As to experience something there must be an experiencer / observer To say that I have experienced "no self" is... Perhaps one should say I have experienced states without concepts of self... and was just pure being / awareness I am sure there are different levels of refinement in this regard I remember once waking up in the middle of the night feeling / being infinite void potential I guess this was just a sample I don't really believe in enlightenment... enlightenment implies an end I don't believe there is end, only beginnings

Perhaps every center has an effect on being Though the higher centers are dormant mostly So the capacity is there but the full personality isn't activated/ realized The Moon only reflects the light of the Sun.

These are ongoing musings since about the age of 10 I have experienced states of "no-self" Looking into a mirror and disengaging thought is interesting + other experiences Though I guess I have never really pushed it. CT said: Not disidentification... but to come to a point where one sees self as equal to all else. I like this definition I was reading up on Ganesh the other night... how Shiva took his head off... then replaced it with an elephant head (extremely crude explanation of the story) But basically this was symbolic of the transition between earthly being and super/cosmic being Or self and Self I suppose one can have the philosophical understanding of this... though ultimately the experiential is the aim

I was looking for something less dark hahah... But in likeness to the tale regarding the Bigu diet? And the Princess coming close to immortality...leaping huge distances... also had fur + I imagine activated energetically So we go back to being an egg? Or a ball of energy

I want to share the love and appreciation! who dares hold me back! haha seriously though? Why is this necessary?

I really really like a lot of things What others decide as meaningful is up to them

I was once watching a documentary on Norwegian Black Metal "Satanic" ... the genre came about due to a hate of Christianity As the RCC had destroyed their people / native culture / faith Some burned down a church or two Perhaps not the best use of energy - I listen to folk metal which is a celebration of the old ways/ beliefs etc It really is up to the person as to how they wise to use their energy though I see no harm in negative votes... I wouldn't use them myself though. I would use words

I want a So-So (50/50) option then too because sometimes I Iike a post but not that much that I like like it you know? so, a so-so option would be very good to have I think? haha

ahh

I should probably stop liking seeing as you have no more likes to give... this is all very unfair How can I like things when you can not like things? I'll just have to push on and like for the both of us

This thread is about Positive votes Jetsun Please do not derail my thread

Sometimes I get really anxious not knowing whether or not have have any likes left ahaha

Both myself and Gatito find this highly distressing distressing is a funny word... because its meaning: great pain, anxiety, or sorrow; acute physical or mental suffering; affliction; trouble. 2. a state of extreme necessity or misfortune. ... de? (wiki) though the sound of the word - De Stress... has opposite meaning Who came up with this language? Like the words discrete and discreet... :/ completely opposite meanings

I always run out of likes too...it is an ongoing problem and causing me much suffering

I am going to give it a jump on the general discussion :/ May the discussion be calm and fruitful haha

haha ok cool

Dear Recep Ivedik my post was not directed at you personally, it was more a general comment regarding the entire thread

So what would a fully developed human look like?

Hmm some balance is being reached now, awesome “The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.” Now we are starting to cool down into the finest steel?
