But this does basicly everything, all the time. Every second our consciousness is influenced and bombarded with information. Time to get more fully open to it. So just again some random Nasa news to entertain the masses and spread some controversy. Back to meditation it is then...

I want to ... - in a sense of that I am currently not aware of how to do it myself - being transformed into a solid "I am"-affirmation when gathered enough puzzle-pieces ... touch a friend on his heart ... - since as we know this sacred space is the key to life and a Safe Haven in all aspects ... and make him see and feel what I perceive, precisely ... - like a hologram of my thoughts and emotions - to precisely show him what I am picking up with my being - to let go of our modern language and have no misunderstandings anymore - no assumptions, no "I guess I know what you mean but I actually dont, because I haven't experienced it for myself yet." - with the participants agreement, to project an entire tangible experience into his being ... at what level of consciousness is this possible? Is everything I have just mentioned known under the concept of 'telepathy'? Why do I want this? Because I would say all our limitations are enough now. I need to rediscover proper tools to work with. Any puzzle-pieces? Thank you.

God, what AWESOME quotes!! I love all of you!!!

Wonderful information, thanks!!

I am learning constantly more about the Tantric practices from the Tibetans and also from Hindiusm. My latest and third approach is ancient Egypt. Quoting: The whole article if you are interested: http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/apr1/ankhing.htm I love to destroy our modern approach to life and how we made so many things artificial and brought them so far away from their origin. Overcomplicating things mostly. Rediscovering what is really true by going inside my being. I was a little bit baffled myself when I talked with a female friend of mine about cultivating sexual energy as a male by not having an Orgasm in terms of Ejaculation, when she indicated that retracting the sperm is not actually natural at all. Which it actually isn't. I had to agree after contemplating about it. Retraction is literally a denial of my own existance as integral part of Life. Life does not retract anything from you, you are in a constant flow of receiving. The only one who blocks him- or herself off of this flow is your Free Will, misguided by the egoic mind. If we want to come more into Alignment with our Higher Consciousness how can we retain something of such a natural process? To me this actually feels like High Treason. All my senses are highly on a notion of "DONT DO IT" when I am before an ejaculation and attempt to retain the sperm. Why is it that in these Tantric Practices of the Tibetans and the Hindus they actually speak of LOSING something. How close-minded and influencial can someone put information for you to apply?? Since there is an Infnite Flow of energy all around us, how can we LOSE something? Speaking of LOSING this sexual energy which then goes to the 8th and 13th Chakra. Which is connected to a Greater Universal aspect of us. Losing means destroying what we have. Since we have complete authority on a Higher Aspect, since we Are this Higher Aspect and we there Have or "can" Have everything - how can we Lose? Losing is a huge, huge misconception. Understand me correctly: Cultivating Sexual Energy is key. No doubt. But with every fiber of my being I am told that it is wrong to reject or to retain. Ever. Wrong in a sense of holism. I am not quite sure.. where this is going... but all I know is, there is much fishyness going on in so many teachings.... edit: typo

For sure, but why do we even want to replenish? It's like being an infant all life long. Have you ever start cultivating? You feel inside yourself that you are maturing on a somewhat soul-like level. This is growing out. Not our worldly: I have x-cars, y-house, z-wife and dont even know who I am. Taoism speaks of cultivating like preparing your spaceship to finally get out of this orbit again. Why finally? I have no idea. I want to know! I feel like reincarnation is true. I dont even studdy Buddhism and very less of Taoism, but everything just makes sense the more you cultivate and learn about energies.. waves.. vibrations.. universal laws. It's quite simple, when you get there from time to time.. at least it doesnt feel like rocket-science to me. Might be an adapting. The Hawaiians say that you can not access your Higher Self without having accessed your Lower Self. And even 'asked for permission' to lift off, so to speak. I am yet to find out what this Lower Self (not judgemental) is. 'They say' it's my consciousness connected to your consciousness connected to the entire human consciousness, connected to the earth's consciousness. That is the Lower Self. Makes sense that when you are 'in' your Lower Self, that you can predict everything that is happening on this planet and get everything from this planet, whatever you want, simply because you are more fully 'it'.

Now tell my sex-hungry girlfriend... I really need to get into tantra ASAP. @Chegg: Jesus Christ - thank you for providing all of these quotes. I will read through it in the blink of an eye. PS: If you treat your excrements worthy of what they are - then you can also treat your semen like 'shit'. PPS: It's fascinating how weak my back gets and how much I slouch after a regular orgasm. One month of cultivating is truely the peak atm. Would I not have girlfriend it surely would extend to an infinite amount.

are there? interesting. Let me search for them..

Hello everyone, I would like to gather some deeper knowledge about 'What thoughts really are' here in my waking state. If we substract ourselves here in this human form free from thought, which then surely leads to a deeper understanding in all directions and fills us more with the Universal intelligence - does this mean our Free Will is gone with it? Or What are thoughts actually? What is the real purpose of thoughts? What is the nature of thoughts? And why exactly do we identify with our thoughts these days in such an EXTREME fashion? And what is the best way to USE thoughts after we un-identified ourselves and freed ourselves from it through constant practice, deeper meditations and other non-conceptional methods? Every meditation practitioneer knows it: Thoughts are the Only 'thing' that prevents one from going into a very deep state of meditation. I understand it this way (and ultimatelly I want to perceive it fully! screw my brain on this part) that a thought is energy which is converted and transformed via intention and then directed into manifestation. Basicly a thought in it's true nature, we maybe used it 10k years ago was used Only to manifest AND NOT ENTERTAIN OR IDENTIFY like we nowadays. I mean why??? How could it even get so far?? Insane! I think myself sometimes. Since it always takes 'time' here in this dimension to manifest a thought into an actual 'thing' - and we think so much through out the day that half of it even gets here. Weeks or months later and then we are like 'WTF is this? I dont even need this right now'. Some spiritual beings really must give us the middle-finger sometimes... Anyway, can you please shed light on this?

The purpose of entertainment is here to keep your emotions active. This leads to an illusional sense of aliveness, since normally you yourself produce these emotions and share them with others. If there is no entertainment, you instantly feel a void. Why? Because you do nothing. It's like a baby that is holding the hands of the parents all the time and suddenly lets go and feels a shock because it was so used to the constant and direct supply of their energy flow. It feels more what is around, more what it is. Basicly you then yourself will turn up like a lightbulb, shinging with emotions - with the difference that you consciously choose to switch it on or off. You are the lightbulb, not the switch. And this time you do not require a cable, a limited power supply because you will understand that the 'air' or the 'invisible water in which you swim all around you' is and always was your purest power supply. You simply were conditioned to have a leash. A steady and controlled connection to a Lower power source. When we entertain ourselves all the day, like many of us did, including myself a time ago and some maybe still do - then you constantly drain yourself of your vital energies. In order to express an emotion, energy is required. Much. Controlling Emotions, priority for monks. Can you see that this also is a cause for chronic intestine malfunctions? Since they are connected to the glands which produce the emotions and must always be On? Pull the cable, be offline from 'this' system here. Become your own powerhouse and connect to the infinite all around you. #FromLightbulb2Powerhouse2013 PS: This is my third day of finally constant energy practice every morning, no sex since 4 weeks. I can not practice Qi Gong yet and dont even meditate and already spill out such 'mad lyrics'. /Ego off - CULTIVATE!

Well since when are you conscious? More and more conscious in this body? The shift was perceivable. The shift Is perceivable right in this moment. Everything is happening in an increased pace. All events I can think of: learning, thinking, adapting .. everything is faster. Can you not perceive this? It's not about the news or what the general public feels. It's all what You feel. I can tell you that when I had steady contact with my uncle around that time, which I do not have at the moment, he was upset and sad that to whomever he spoke to no-one felt a thing. So he went into a very negative state of conspiracy and endgame-theory. All because he was more focusing outward at that moment but became slowly more and more conscious. And this will also increase. To wake up is still a conscious choice, but I can guarantee you that it will be not for very long anymore. Either you live your life consciously and be a part of Life -or- Life will live you. And when you miss certain conscious steps that spirit was integrating all over the planet at a certain stage - then events will happen and fear will come up again, aswell as misconception. Like we saw in the past. Which I all do not want for you. Everything that was said in spiritual communities about the shift - exclude all endgame-prophecies and chaos relate to it - everything that has to do with an increased energy and the actual shift the earth is in, is happening right here and right now. And how this is done, how to live more conscious? Connect to your heart. Operate more and more from your heart. Meditate into your heart. Connect to your Higher Aspect (which is you) - not your mind "you" rather your higher "you" that speaks to you more softly and never forces anything.

You can exclude everything from your life that is entertainment. Life itself must become our actual entertainment again. Not short-living, momentary distractions. There is so much to learn. So, so much. And when you need a break, you dont fill your brain (again) and remove your just newly gathered knowledge by pushing in new information: You go outside and just relax. And if it's too cold.. you can astral travel, project, lucid dream in a nap and bring back fresh ideas and be totally rejuvenated. Adopt an animal, communicate with wild animals.. or just watch them. The possibilities are endless. My dusty TV was on this Summer when "coincidently" a documentation about Saddhu's came - ofc what else^^ but overall no TV and also no Radio since more than 3 years now. Barely any news at all. Just here and there to not feel to 'alien'. "Son, we didnt have heritages from our old family members - we had TV!" and the whole Universe laughed.

Of course dear, one of many.

Okay this is getting heavy, I 'thought' about a short-packed answer but I see you want to discuss this further so please feel free to do so. Thank you very much for all your contributions so far and like said: Please continue. Our thoughts are all connected, there is no seperation. The only seperation there is, is our resistance to the true nature of evrything that already exists. Mainly through conditioning from past and social believes. Drop them, all of them. Also what Guru X said, be your own Guru. Everything is spirit. Spirit over matter, be part of this process and master your experience here on this planet and be rapidly transformed with it. I wish you all very smooth, daily applications and many many chances to easy drop what still holds your mind active in terms of useless, entertaining information. Edit: I just understood what entertainment really is. Next topic soon.

... and why so few younger people? Internet, courses in cities - 95% are surely above the age of 50. Is Qi Gong not yet appealing to people below that age? Does the majority first need a heavy form of contraction, such as multiple injuries in order to want to understand health and longevity? I still have this feeling of loneliness sometimes in my location when practising. I want to share and connect and I still have the Bias of age, sometimes... Why is that so? Because where I live, here in Germany - as sad as it is: But AGE means stiffness here, unflexiblity in all aspects of life. Especially psyche. I talked with friends about subjects like meditation, because again the majority of them suffer from stress already - being in their early or mid-20s. These concepts do not appeal until they really suffer more and more. The common "excuse" still is that they have no time for it, want to "clean up /g et rid of something first" in their lives or wait for some miracle (see suffering). Do we really have transported such less wisdom from generation to generation in the West? I live in Europe and preventive concepts are really new. New in that form that I do not know what the church / romans have burned to ash. Wholistic concepts like shamanism and druidism were here long ago. And for the most part only find revival in forms of small presentations on medival markets. What's blocking it here? I'm really interested what your experiences is on this! Feel free to share it All the best, Light.

Hello, I am abit curious and I lack of knowledge about Qi Gong and The Microcosmic Orbit in general. From this perspective of my life here I am very new to Qi Gong and everything that goes with it (cant speak for other lives) but it all feels very easy to handle for me and I do not walk against walls or have to try to hard to perceive certain aspects of "beginners energy flow". I am (re)learning the Microcosmic Orbit via the teachings of Mantak Chia and he states that one should do the Orbit down the Functional Channel (front) and up the Governor Channel (back). The funny part starts here: Intuitively I want to do it the other way around and it feels much much much more easy for me to do it like breathing in (up the front) and breathing out (down the back). Basicly the complete opposite of what Mantak Chia is teaching. Is there even anything you can do wrong here? I have heard several people speaking (not directly about the orbit but about energy practices) that I can be lethal to do certain aspects wrong and that one can drain ones life force by doing so. But I assume one has to be totally out of balance in order to Not feel the approaching "doom" so to speak when doing such a lethal action. What benefits are there when I do it the refersed way? Is there anything wrong with it? Can I continue learning it that way? Or should I do it the regular way? In which it really requires effort for me since I feel my breathing gets all messed up with it. I feel like I have to "push" it up my back. While on the other hand when I do it refersed, everything flows easily and a tangible energy flow is felt instantly that way. Can you please shed light on this issue? Thank you very much!

Update: I just did the full season on how to open the MCO with the help of Mantak Chia's teachings and after ~1,5hours until I was done with the entire exercise I felt it fully open. The energy current was easy to perceive. Especially it flowing upward my spine and skull. I do not know why I went so much solely with the breathing first and did not touch all the points with my hands and spiral right from the beginning. When you make this connection and take your time with it, at least for me, all opens. "All opens" in my language is now that.. nothing popped open or what so ever, I simply can feel how something..energy..a current I can send with my mind down my front and up my spine. It tingles and feels very good, rich and healthy. The tangible knowing of "something important is going on" I feel aswell. This current can also flow by itself. Wonderful. Now for the regular integration. Thank you again to all of you.

I can refer to that, thank you. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Dear Ones, I finally found a propper outer and inner landscape to meditate again. Things came to rest and here I am again on my inner journey. I wanted to ask this months ago but then I simply threw away this question because I was certain to find the answer anyway myself. Shortly after my life turned upside down and the question was erased for the time of being. My question: When I started to meditate later at evening, in the night and I am already abit sleep-drunken, a form of lucidity that is not yet too tiring so I do not fall aswell during meditation, somewhere on the edge of a healthy approach on meditation, after a relaxing time where really every tension in my body disappeared, I suddenly felt a pulling... I remember it had a certain "mental quality" to it... like "something" wanted my attention and got it through that action. I noticed that my focus suddenly increased drasticly, totally by itself without me actively doing anything, like more elecricity was going on in my head - not stressful, more calm and focusing, with a certain, barely noticable static noise ... somewhere in the background. Since I did not know what to do and totally surrendering is still pretty scary for me, due to some messed-up end-time concepts from certain "guru's" on this planet which still are waiting to be flushed out, unconsciously, I then laid possitive concepts on top of it and watch how the focus slowly but surely dissappeared. For me this is a sign that I should have simply ventured to surrender to this circumstance. Not a dissappointed conclusion, I just know from the past that every concept I bring into meditation is just a hold-up and gets discarted sooner or later anyway. PS: These concepts are that it is bad to work with the 3rd eye and everything involved with it in this stage of the development of this planet, since you easily invite forces you do not wish to have inside you. Right wrong? I dont even know. And in my case I simply ignore them then. But it's rubbish that such concepts can even get in your system. Stupid childish curiosity while being on the internet. Anyway, does anyone have an idea what this "pulling" might have been? This sudden attention, sudden focus PPS: The interesting thing here is, even tho I did not meditate thoroughly for at least 3 months, I come back right in where I have left off! This is so new to me, no preparation, nothing. You just move on. This is so, so refreshing to everything else we do in our waking-life

Thank you very much for your concerns. I have to stick to these practices, I know when to stop and I know that I can never force anything. My approach to Chi / Qi Gong and everything new that has to do with energy is that I approach it with Respect and A Clean Intention that is Life Affirming. This is important in my eyes. I hope you are well now? All the best to you. @liminal_luke: Thank you for your experience, I appreciate it. I always do what feels good to me but I have "voices" or whatever I should call it.. thought patterns.. that are full of critique and critical concerns sometimes. That is the only issue for me. After a heavy life force depletion I would call it.. early last year when my family broke apart.. at the same time when my heart opened and I literally found hell infront of me.. feeling-wise I had days when I was filled with a feeling of responsibility. I felt much more mature than I do now again. But it slowly comes back. I assume that was an increased flow of energy inside my system and with it new knowledge that possibly can or could only be applied with said tangible responsibility.

Can you explain Why this pheonomenon is so scary for all of us (here in this human form) on such a deep-rooted level? Basicly the fear of this letting-go, That type of letting go you only experience in meditation and beyond that cant hold any concept is my only Stop-sign to continue further. So often! Maybe this is natural? And to everyone else - thank you So much for sharing your knowledge about this. Glad I am here, really.

Dear Ones, I have not come across any english article on the web that explaines crane neck rocking (term from Mantak Chia's "Awaken Healing Light of the Tao") more precise than in the actual book: "[...] 1. in which it is explained to arching lumbars l-2 and l-3 of your spine to the front as you stretch the neck to the back. 2. stretch the neck like a crane. stretch the chin out, curve it in, and touch it to the throat. at the same time, push back the lumbar area, creating a wavelike movement [....]" I want to see this "live" in a video or if no-where available on a picture or an illustration. Is there anything you know of that shows Crane Neck Rocking illustrated?

Dear Ones, I want to find out if it is important to have body hair regardless of the climate one is living in. Aside with the fashionist shaving to follow the modern standard and being supposedly more attractive. Please follow and hopefully aswell answer me with non-bias. I personally don't like my body hair. But I feel like it has a certain importance to it. Have you ever noticed that the stomach hair spirals? That our hair is spiraling from the top of our heads? That spiritual people from india let their hair grow long and form a turban / pugree at the exact location to make the spiral even bigger? That being said hair could have a conductor function for external energies. Helps it spiral on / into our heads, with an easy help of our head hair, our beard (if male) distributes it evenly to our chest, down to our genitals and legs. Heck even when I look at the growth and flow of the hair on my underarm, I notice a spiral. I used to love to have a shaved chest and stomach because you could see more finer details of the muscles. Surely I dont have to mention the clean feeling when being shaved around the genitals. Now I let it grow, but I dont really find it aesthetic... it's more like I tend to develope an "i dont care about my body hair" attitude. But what happens if we do shave? What impact does it have on the cultivation of energy? In India apprentice Saddhu's shave their head and the longer their hair grow mirrors somewhat their overall experience. In the history of Eastern Asia people have never shaved hair, except monks and working people. I also have not found any evidence of shaving in Taoism. Again, I ask such questions first the "outside world" and then go inside. Ultimatelly I ask this, because I want to maximize every inch of my being and step away from notions like "do what you like -or- who the hell cares" which is just ignorant and shows lack of knowing. I'm curious what knowledge you have gathered! Do you have any insight on the topic of shaving hair? Please let me, let us know! Kind regards

Not to be offensive but why do you downplay this with the smiley in the end? Like you want us to believe that it was all rubbish what you have just written about said experience. This is fully valid in my opinion. what reference to do so? Very interesting thanks. I will definitelly repost my findings and experience with my first time having shoulder long hair by hopefully the end of this year. Since my training is to become more sensitiy to feel more subtle energies, there is great value in sharing these informations. No doubt. Thank you everyone! Much appreciated.

Dear Ones, it happened again. I was in a very vivid dream and I wake up, I try to remember everything went blank. From one second to another. How come? I dont have Altzheimer so I demand to be able to remember them. Maybe you are also already aware of the fact that what we call our "dreams" is basicly just our bodily consciousness disconnecting from our body and being in one of our other bodies. For many this is the astral body. For few this goes even more deeper. You can put effort into consciously falling asleep. This requires you to have an insane focus and from what I have read not many people can do this. Regardless it is truely something special which I personally want to achieve in the near future. But this requires some excess amount of energy in our system. Meaning one has to have a propper lifestyle of cultivating energy and not blowing it away during the day, falling asleep totally tired and exhausted. Light food in the evening and early nights are best for doing so. Now, whenever I can I also put effort into remembering what happened during my body fell asleep. But like written in the first line this does not (yet) happen very often and I get a little frustrated. The curiosity of understanding this part of our reality is so strong that it lets me quickly get over my lack of rememberance. Shall we put effort into remembering our "dreams"? If so, why? What benefit is there? And why do we have in general such a hard time remembering what happened? Does this happen purposely or is this yet another lazy attitude what we had mastered in our childhood? Curious, let me know what I obviously dont know. All the best!
