Humble

I had turkey yesterday. Helpful?

Why not just start your own secret society? Just give it a cool name and people will come a runnin to join im sure

.*dusts frost from beard*,,,think I'll work up to that slowly.

Do you find the carpet under you when you practice gets unusually warmer than its surroundings as well? It does in my living room, but I cant tell if thats something to do with just good warm carpet or a side effect of the practice.

I have had success with this in my carpeted living room.

I disagree. True science is nothing more than a methodology to discover,,,,well anything supposedly. It is a manifestation of human curiosity, not the curiosity itself. Scientitsts are curious people. Even the boring stuffy ones. Its their curiosity, born from whatever philosophy they possess that drives discovery onward. To call science a philosophy is like saying its the carpenters plans and hammer that does the work, not the carpenter.

I don't mean to sound crude when I say this ok? GO! GET! LAID! If you can't make peace with being a virgin then lose the identity of "virgin". Sex is both fun and natural. Prove the bullies (and the little kid inside you who believed all their nasty taunts) wrong and go be happy, successfull and a lady-killer (METAPHORICALLY!!!).

The more that is posted in his thread, the more the troll gets fed. Let's just assume that anyone spouting racist, sexist and elitist garbage is the universes way of offering us a chance to witness and let go of the same. I.E. Sunlover, by whatever name he posts under, will fade away when undernourished of attention.

Someone just pointed this out to me; you've just posted on the Internet the potential urge to do someone serious harm/threat to do harm. If anything happened along those lines, there is now blatant evidence of pre-meditation on your part. In light of that I'd go with the send the good vibes thing. Premeditated good vibes even.

The argument could be made that surviving Kundalini/Greater Kan and Li (think I said that right) also connects a person with high levels of power and/or siddhi. Which makes sense for hose who pursue that kind of enlightenment, but what of the "spontaneous awakenings"? There's no tradition or lineage involved in those. I'm inclined to believe that development takes a massive amount of dedication for just about everyone but now and then an extremely rare person comes along who taps into The Dao/Divine/Kundalini etc in different ways. These are the people who start lineages or techniques. In a way it may be good that many people are learning from books or videos and exploring for themselves, this may lead to new usefull techniques being created. Or more spontaneous combustion. You know, whichever.

Anyone else routinely develop the intense need to ....uh....you know, poop,,,, in the middle of meditating? Is this an LDT stimulation thing? Or did I just exile myself to the weird questions corner? What other funny things happen in the midst of emptiness ? Someone share something so I don't feel all awkward 'n stuff!

Thank you all. Glad to know I'm normalish(I almost said "regular", but that would have been to easy a set up).

What shielding technique are you using, out of curiosity?

Thats the Tai Chi movement: Nipping Horse Chases Yelping Dog. Very obscure lineage to that form.

So, SM is essentially focus on the LDT and let the energy move you? I know it's more complicated of course, but is that the basic thought?

Good luck

So, earlier I was doing my ZZ standing and qigong (no particular school, just what feels right) and I had a seat and remembered an exercise I read somewhere about sitting in "holding the ball" style, right hand on top, heels off the floor. A few minutes in my legs are bouncing up and down like sewing machine needles and my bodies swaying without me making any of it happen. There was a good amount of qi flowing through me, but that's not happened before. Can anyone inform me on this phenomenon or should I suspect seizure activity?

Blech, all that drama leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'll just go back to doing my own thing. Appreciate the heads up.

Reptiles?

Thanks by the way!

*Mr Burns finger steeple* Ehhhxcellent.

This has always been an interesting thought to me. If someone DID reveal say, a siddhi, or some other ability(i dont always like theword "power" in this context) who would cage them and how would they be exploited? On ticket to theory town please.

Head for the hills?

I have balance issues at times, even in normal consciosness. Will leaning on something affect this position?
