Spotless

It has also been said to be compassionate to kill a terrorist rather than allow the terrorist - murderer - rampager to kill and murder and create hate and madness. It is compassionate in several senses - if the killer of the terrorist is not mad or in hate but simple aware of the graveness of the situation and the easily seen consequences of such a life of the terrorist continued. It is possible to point out a great force of madness and not become identified with the pointing to the madness - one can see smoke in a clear sky and point it out - and note that a great fire may be in the making - it does not mean the one pointing it out is mad at the smoke or against the smoke - but it does not mean one can or should do nothing - particularly if a whole town is immediately downwind of it. Many a great and peaceful happy sage has no problem identification with "death" as relates to crazy people and murderers if the situation is grave and warrants it - yet killing a mosquito or ant may be of considerable concern. It is entirely possible to undress any false front and call it for what it is in clear language that does not couch the facts - and at the same time be entirely at rest inside.

Dawei: If we were all sages, it would likely be a very boring site Dawei: I view it as simply the ten thousand arise in sundry ways. As an aside, there have been 2-3 energetic shifts in the world in the last several years. So I see there are some forces at work that many might not consider or feel. Dawei: I've said before, I think he represents a reset on some level. I generally agree with what your suggesting. Trump is not a reset - he is a replay - he is the epitome of replay - he is the face of ruin and deception - of the worst of Religion over and over again. The "Republican Party" of today in the USA is the face of complete decay and indecency. It is prostrating with your ass to the world and shamelessly wagging it in the face of all that has come before. No - this is not some cleansing in a good sense - this is exercising depravity and teaching our children it is OK to grab pussy and laugh at killing and revel in a false Gods will - it is Idol worship - Devil Worship - it truly is the embracing of Sodom And Gomorrah and a repeat adnuseam. And everyone sitting with their hands under their legs looking at this as some sort of inevitable happening that is "good for us" is woefully detached from the inner teachings of this sites name sake. A mentally ill person is at the helm of the worlds largest arsenal of Nuclear Weapons - we are allowing this to continue - it has not "just happened". Its not a lollipop convention - and many previously sane people are standing ever stronger behind ever increasing mental illnesses that our "commander in chief" has in the multiples without doubt or bias - he is certifiable.

The so called "Radical Left" of today is basically the Republican of yesterday - my last post was no rant - it was a retort of a ridiculous quote based in sleep. A sleep that allows for the breeding of total insanity. Most of the Left is tepid and much of the reason for Trump getting any votes was because of the conservative nature of Hilary and the contempt for the status quo that she came to represent to many on the fence. Bernie Sanders could have easily won - but Hilary was placed into the lead by the Democratic convention and much of the momentum to Trump was not just Russian interference and propagation - it was a real desire for change. Most of those on the fence are beginning to see how far to the opposite Trump has been and how much he partakes in the deliveries of the Ralf Reeds of the world - who deliver the hell realms for God.

This is frozen in the rhythmic drone of cyclical imagery and the sleep of "its only one opinion vs another". What is occurring today in the "United" States of America is pre-war Hitler Germany. One side is eating, sleeping and shitting propaganda. It is happening in their churches - in their schools - in their military - it is unequivocally based on fear and lies and conscious propaganda and endless promotion of incendiary untrue teaching made of complete fantasy and fabrication in the name of God and country. These are exactly the type of people in Germany after the war who wondered "how did we get behind this madness?" Though not all of the German people were aghast at what had occurred - many were utterly consumed with their superior mindedness - many were consumed with cleaning the world - many enjoyed their consort with complete abandon of reality and complete submission to pack animal lynching. The "Republican Party" is not a party - it is agenda - ruthless complete agenda - murderous agenda - squash and kill agenda - completely rewrite history to an agenda based fantasy for God. It has become completely Godless in a spray of infectious viruses and the propagation of all things for an end at all costs - including all things they heretofore held dear and sacred. The Radical Left is generally among the great fantasies propagated by the Hitlerian spew - everything is taken to a straw man argument level - nothing is approached from sanity - everything supports the Lynching mentality - no normal look at what is being said is allowed - that would be contrary to a good old fashion lynching - kill, lie, smear and hang the bastard - if he gets hanged its because it was Gods will - lynching him/her/they becomes a trophy for "All is Right and Good" - it makes church an even sounder place for judgement, righteousness and isolation. No - you don't feed a Hitler - you cut out his tongue - you remove him from all resource. We know what a Hitler is - we need to call it out in what is clearly its forms - unmistakable - without reason - mob insanity far beyond the normal insanity. And they are indeed armed to the hilt and tiring of not pulling the triggers - anxious for an apocalypse. This has become a group of fuck buddies - they are the sodom and Gomorrah they fear - they swim in lies and preach hate and exclusiveness and are a hell realm. They love a bloodbath - they always have.

The GOPAC tapes: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/the-gopac-tapes These were talking point tapes distributed most prominently by Newt Gingrich - it was really the beginning of the nazi propaganda type speaking of the Republican Party here in the USA. It was in large part due to these that the constant repetition of false and misleading news became the norm. It was not much longer that Fox News and its similar format became popular and all sorts of guys like Rush Limbaugh became hits. Rage was taught and spread based primarily upon constant repetition of an agenda based on an agenda and not on facts. This all began in earnest as Ronald Reagan ushered in the Christian Fundamentalists as a ploy to gain voters when at the time the Republican Party had pretty much completely lost the Black vote and was looking to pick up another group - they decided on the Inquisition types and got more than they bargained for. The Republican Party now placates to the Christian Whacko's here at every turn. And as always - they are violent and as godless as ever - nothing is beneath them and everything is disposable including their ethics, teachings, humanity and the United States Constitution. They want war - they want the Apocalypse - they want their teaching in our schools and they want a theocracy. They are looking for a cleansing - and they are armed to the absolute hilt. And they pack the gun clubs to the rafters - Prepers fill the Red States and the Rural areas in particular - paranoia is actively taught and action is actively propogated - action for God. Preachers talk action against the Devil and Evil on a very very regular basis - Evil and the Devil being Democrats, Atheists, LGBT, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Jews and all unsupportive media - and all other belief/faith systems.

It is no wonder we have an opioid epidemic - how else do you put up with a country like this?

On a further note for those of you in other countries - we here in the USA don't allow pictures of our dead soldiers coffins during "war" or oil wars or what ever. We don't allow for graphic pictures of our soldiers on the field - we have made war very clean and even purchased a great deal of fire power from independent soldiering groups during those wars. We even lowered the IQ standards to below what a bus driver is required to have in order to have more and easier recruits for those "wars". In other words - we spend more on war than all other countries pretty much combined and see nothing and know nothing - but we do have the very best most violent games - some of which were created with the support and funding of the US military to help them recruit during the oil wars - as John McCain and Alan Greenspan called them.

In the USA in the 1990's the vast majority of sniper type killings and pre-meditated killing took place by the religious right. Killing at abortion clinics and the like - they turned the corner and decided quite clearly that this was a life saving activity and not "Killing" in the normal sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism_in_the_United_States It was the resurgence of Killing for God. (Trump is in this sense someone who could be considered distasteful but he is "killing for God" everything the "liberal zombies" have taken away (according to them and the Ralf Reed's that deliver their vote). Timothy McVeigh and his two co-conspirators fanned some open flames and also had a bible in the mix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh The pro-gun stuff really started taking off after the Waco disaster. The Apocalypse stuff started going crazy near the "end of the world" in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and the latest for certain date 2012. Look up "Prepers" - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=crazy+doomsday+preppers+ This was when TONS of American's started to stockpile guns and ammo and this is when tons of Americans started to think in terms of collateral damage and "the evil ones" on the wrong side of god - on the wrong side of America - On the wrong side of everything that did not have a flag on it. Then with the unsung gun seizures during the Katrina disaster under Republican President Bush Jr. - (guns were taken by local, state and Federal Troops from law abiding citizens) the pro-gun people began in earnest opening up gun carry laws like crazy during the Obama years. We now have looser gun laws that at any time in our "united" history. The religious right now does not mind killing in the name of the lord, considers carrying guns a part of the near future apocalypse and as insulation from the "LGBT" zombie masses. They clearly would support Trump if he killed somebody in cold blood during the day and under the cover of everything they are constantly working to undermine anything that is free from their religiosity - including our textbooks and how science is taught (against). Killing, lying, cheating - grabbing pussy - God works in strange ways - sometimes shitting on everything Jesus is purported to have taught is apparently just what the preacher asked for. Many christian preachers in the USA openly speak of Democrats as the devils work or as pure evil - this is relatively common.

Social and political issues can be discussed and it does not have to be entirely difficult - but we can look at male/female discussions here and see that they usually end up with several members being barred or banned in short order. I think that was solved by positioning them somewhat - not sure but they no longer seem to be a glaring problem. In any case - Social and political issues could be started with an implied requirement - to be open, to offer solutions, to utilize reasonably researched and relatively unbiased agencies of research and reporting - and a general intention of not constantly bullying everyone and tweeting snide remarks. If one were actually in front of a great spiritual teacher one would typically give thought to a question or observation before bringing it before he or she. Definitely one would not walk down the aisle stepping on everyone and then yelling the question or observation with a requirement that the teacher and all those present must submit NOW - IMMEDIATELY - to one's rant or question or observation. And it is certainly not permitted to run down the aisle and take a shit and leave - and even think of ever being allowed back let alone given a key to the teachers house. It is entirely possible to speak on social topics - schools, prisons, taxes, war, the death penalty, pollution - in a sane way. And it is possible to not allow pirates and thugs and righteous closed minded bigots from tearing up the carpet and polluting the air. And in barring these hell realm elements one does not need to feel they are being antiseptic or enfeebled in doing so - shit smells and it is easy to put in its place.

In general the Taoist / Buddhist / ism spiritual discussions here are above average - all things considered: For the most part - and I think this will improve to a very great extent going forward - we have a mishmash of people interested in inner growth and exploration - from all walks of life and from all over the planet. We are not from a single teaching and not being espoused to by any particular teacher or type of teaching - it should be messy and it is - and in this messy inclusiveness a great deal has come forth and continues to do so. Most people are entirely asleep - some are in considerable flux - some have a clue or two and some are really set in practice and clawing along or with some a wind in their sails - it is always all over the board. New teachers, old teachers - good teachers and not so good - they all have a seat here - some have beginners mind and some believe they Know something.

I am not highly versed in the effects of caffeine on health - but with that said: Let's assume that you are asking about both caffeine regarding its health affects and as regards your practice in the internal arts. Green Tea and Coffee come in many different forms - they have highs that are unique. I have a friend that introduced me to many expensive different coffee's - some costing $60 a pound. Prior to that I had no idea there was a market of high priced coffee's and unique and subtle high's and cognitive effects - it always had seemed somewhat coarse and harsh by comparison to Tea - particularly green tea and herbal tea. The high priced coffee's were sold with a fairly in-depth explanation of what the high would be like - they spoke more in terms of wine than coffee. Later I went from herbal tea's to green tea and was amazed to find many of the noticeable high's were very similar to those of the very high priced coffee's - often a subtle clarity with no noticeable buzz or rise in impulse - a clean subtle clarity - and easy (for me at least) to sleep on. At this particular point in time - neither coffee or tea have particularly noticeable effects on me - but in practice it should be taken into account. How we approach our bodies - live within them - or horse whip them and subjugate them is a real and subtle habituation that often is simply handed down to us and we assume the posture upon which so much becomes troublesome or relatively easy. Practice is becoming friends with your body - it is not treating it as other - it is Being with Yourself In a vehicle of light. For so many - coffee and tea are somewhat either a strong slap in the face or a mild one - but none the less - we use them as a whip to get us going. Sometimes without a thought 3 shots of espresso and we are off and running - running off in futures and pasts and quite beyond ourselves and the ability to be in the moment. On another level - both coffee and tea (green and herbal) can offer us a variety of wonderful essence which is both enjoyable, medicinal and may be or not be stimulants. Caffeine used as a whip tends toward not being good for all aspects of living - and like whips they can be addictive and overbearing and promote subjugation and overriding of one's Self on many subtle levels. I certainly used caffeine in this way many a time. Caffeine per se is not in general any health risk - and in many ways on many levels subtle and not so subtle stimulants can be fine - you really need to just monitor the effects and be real in your monitoring. And also - as with everything in your diet - your awareness and the dwelling of it within the bodies changes. Habituations that do not change regardless of the changes taking place in your bodies are what are most harmful - sometimes we can easily deal with things and at other times we need to avoid them all together. It is a matter of listening to Yourself and not subjugation to your habituations.

You might consider some B vitamin and a coffee enema - seriously - you wrote this here - now?

Part of what I hope is changing here is an openness to see the self-jailing that we have begun in the USA - the myopic view - the self aggrandizing view - the corporatizing view - and the false christianizing agendas. It is complete ignorance and or simple stupidity to coddle the current President and the politics of thuggery. It is completely understandable here to look at and discuss such things as the separation of church and state - without - letting the fundamentalist "thinking" robots into the equation unless it is Very measured and only tolerated as the stepchild of intelligent "thought" that it is so clearly and obviously lacking in any measurable quantity. It is completely understandable that this site begin to examine a measured and clear bias to real heart and soul searching for answers to war and climate change and the continued bankruptcy of our current child/leader/thief/pathological liars. Should this site be less open to the stupidity that it has been tolerating for a considerable time - good god yes! Does that in any way imply that open discussion should not take place - no - but open intelligent discussion - and what is intelligent and completely absurd is becoming more and more clear everyday! It is becoming clearer with every passing day that turning this country into one that is bankrupt from oil wars and the drainage of corporate privilege and the misdirection of godless religious zealots (who support a president that could indeed kill a person in the light of day and which they would still support) that it is not remotely implausible to relegate the mentally impaired with a throttle on their voices here and a redirection if necessary. We should be a world coming together - yet we still foster a world of war and hate and extremism and position that has nothing to do with putting one foot forward as a humanity. Religious division should come to an end and it should be legislated against - not be revitalized as is the current mania in our politics. The bullet pushers should not be our check on safe streets. Education should not come at the expense of endenturement. At the current rate of hyper income disparity 3/4 of the USA will have dirt roads within a few decades. We have low unemployment yet need to lower the interest rate? Could it be because of all the new lower paying jobs and higher paid CEO's and an unstable idiot in the White House? These should be discussed to some extent here but we see disgusting complete bullshit about Trump from people that have not taken even the slightest walk into turning on a light inside their heads. Yes - this should be a place where the hordes are not welcome to come and shit on the carpet and vomit on the faces of those that have come to inquire and seek.

We should also look into the ending of Non-Profit status for any religious organization - and at least for now the revocation of non-profit status for existing but seriously offending members enjoying non-profit status but in serious and repetitive violation of the agreements they made in order to enjoy such status. It is a joke at this point among many of our most perverted consistent violators.

We have no problem with laws regarding truth in advertising. It is entirely legal to sue those engaged in false advertising - false claims and engineered misleading information. It is entirely possible to do the same regarding “Truth in reporting”. Many countries (outside the USA) not thought of as oppressive, authoritarian, socialist or communist have laws and regulations regarding “truth” - which is in some cases considerably in a grey area - but quite often not. We should consider national legislation in the USA regarding allowing litigation against false reporting.

We have many court precedents that support "complete freedom" of speech to the point of trashing that translation - it will probably be necessary to have a constitutional amendment. but with that said - so many legal roadblocks would be immediately set upon on such organizations such as Fox "News" and the Hannity/Tucker/Limbaugh funding drivers that the spew would be immediately tamped back and it is impossible to disregard the importance of looking at such legislation.

Personally I would like to thank ralis for fighting the exhaustive fight of bringing truth to light in the extremely dark and demented threads that were pretended to be discussions of politics. Very rarely but occasionally it would come to me to venture into the hell realms there and strike a match in hopes of dissipating the mounting gas. It has been difficult to watch nazis and their ilk be coddled and given voice - anywhere - but in this wonderful possibility - in this light filled community it has been especially odd and grievous. I look forward to this fresh breeze of adjustment - like a fast - it is a re-alignment with the essence of its origin. And like a fast - it is a welcome but abrupt change in the status quo - something simple dieting just can't seem to comprehend. I look forward to finding out more of what my place is in all of this - I am not versed in the background of politics much and do not know what to call myself if I were incline to do so - but certainly to the left of what most call the left these days. This daunting job Sean has set upon is as admirable as it is something to see and witness - and give aid too even if simply in withholding judgement. Perhaps in a sort of microcosm it will shed light upon how we can begin to rid this country of the same sort of despicable enabling that has taken place in the opiate of "open discourse" and polite sleep. We should not go silently into the night - we are not here to hid our light - nor blend it with vinegar. It is not just in the political threads - it is clear that many are here that have no interest in self reflection (however difficult it may be to affix that label to a discipline). Many rejoice in their cutting off of spirit - in their puffery and 'bigness" - it has been at the expense of intimacy and depth - and it derails countless interactions and discovery. It is also difficult to rule out the possibility that some who have come here have been paid to disrupt and spew - their intelligence and deliberate engineering in false topic headings and clear harboring of contrary beliefs to the leanings of the simple name of this community is certainly not beyond what has become rampant in the exploitation of social media as a means to specifically engineer and undermine. To all those that have given their time and diligence I thank you - this is difficult - a bit like taking a group of cats out for a walk. Like the fresh air after a great rain - and the energy of the lightning still resonating in the exuberance of the air - I so welcome everything that has been said in tone and content and extent by Sean that it is dazzling and rainbow vivid as is so rarely the case in reconciling habituations that need amending. All the very best to that which is departing and the light that is pouring forth!

This is not “right bashing” It is a bit like stating with clarity and certainty that Trump is clearly mentally ill - which he clearly is - not bashing - simply clearly clinically evident and correct.

The original post was like a bong full of fresh air! 3 pages of “Ignore Users” has made much of the muck palatable. I am far to the left of the conservative Democrats and who and what “Republicans” are at this point resembles godless fundamentalists and ball-less air head mafia cupcake pushers with projectiles. It has been unseemly to see such exuberant mushrooms from the right in such numbers here - but - the light still shines in so many places that it is indeed worth visiting even if less often and in less depth. Thank you Sean!

A practitioner with an open third eye may see spirits of many types and possibly talk with them. This will still depend upon many fears and blocks that might suppress certain directions. However - we are always already in communication with such beings and already receive guidance and actual knowledge. It is clearly different when you are actively involved in "clear seeing" (Clairvoyance) but it should not imply that one does not still have considerable blinders upon what they see. Prior beliefs - if still fairly held - effect what one sees or does not see considerably. Speaking with plants and animals and communication in new ways with all sorts of different consciousnesses may be an incredible and wonderful part of this opening - it is an aspect that few "third eye openings" include and it is not necessary to open the "third eye" for these abilities. This is a bit of what I was getting at in the quote you quoted me on - and you are expounding as an example exactly what I was getting at - that the third eye of the brow chakra is often spoken of far beyond what it includes. And it is different from the opening in the middle of the forehead, the back of the head, the top of the head and many other subtle bodies areas in and around the head and throat. And the enlightening of the Center of the head is an incorporation of many complex expansions. Opening of the Third Eye is a very considerable expansion - it does not necesarrily include all of what you have proposed but it is assumed to include even more than you have proposed. And it is often considered in lofty terms - because it is a marker so to speak of spiritual achievement - but it is not the marker that has been assumed to it from those that "believe in it". And like many abilities - the believers often ascribe many lofty assumptions without realizing just how much more is required to have the full array of assumptions they put into them. So much focus on one small center - (yes it is a massive achievement in many ways) - it is the perfect set-up for loosing oneself and practice in the bravado of the achievement and succumb to standing on that small hill for a lifetime. "Gods" and "demons" - were it so simple as that.

Try looking at this - your spirit is already "functionally powerful enough to maintain the energy output" - it is a matter of doing the practice of intentional suffering/true inner work that will bring the subtle bodies and the gross physical body to transmit / conduct high Presence. The energies are limitless and require no-effort.

I don’t see it as a focal point at all - I don’t recommend it - it is not necessary. I generally do not advocate what I see as “engineering”. A good Qi Gong practice will energize centers and channels and break down ridgidized energetic patterns without personal manipulation and orchestration. However those involved in martial aspects and “training” often will prefer an engineered measurable approach - to me these practices look more like the approach to weight lifting. However - I do not profess to have intimate knowledge of any specific lineage other than Fohanmen and Raja Yoga.

Reverse breathing can also be noticed in simply arching backward - one is breathing in while tightening the front muscles. It is relatively easy to notice the energies mounting in the inner axis as one does this. Pumping the perineum is not a necessary function/tool/result of doing this or any other reverse breathing - generally it is more specific than a relegation to simply reverse breathing - more of a technique used for specific purposes - and phenomenally adictive and often confusing in that it can induce sexual energies and other inertia's such as adrenal and kundalini. In many forms of reverse breathing the side channels are amplified as well - approximately 4" to the left and right of the central axis. Reverse breathing takes no effort other than to establish a full breath while tightening - not a shallow one - and holding it as the energies reach the shore. Most breath is far too shallow and most reverse breathing does not really do much by comparison to that with a deep breath incorporated - and awareness in the LDT or along the axis.

The teaching regarding the central axis and so forth is from my own inner experience and from the energies themselves. It was not taught to me by my master nor something I read or heard - it is what one comes to know and what has emerged in what I teach. What you have discribed in the initial stages becomes many fold stronger. It becomes the full trunk - residing in centeredness was not meant to imply a rigidizing of Awareness - within the subtle bodies it is the axel core axis - the “subtle bodies” become far more prominent than the gross physical and centeredness is implied within its matrix.
