  1. Dzogchen Teachings

    Maybe you could explain it?
  2. Dzogchen Teachings

    I probably am confused by the rainbow body then. I just considered it to the the manual control of the autonomous system, or activating the energy centers/organs with consciousness of them.
  3. Dzogchen Teachings

    Now is forever. It is beyond thought and more akin to experience, imo. For you to ever obtain anything there has to first be a thought of you.
  4. Dzogchen Teachings

    IMO, that is condoning belief over knowing.
  5. Dzogchen Teachings

    How can you be so sure? Or is the intention to not consider that is which is beyond ones capabilities?
  6. Dzogchen Teachings

    Do you think that tradition should be exempt from being a possible attachement?
  7. Dzogchen Teachings

    Cool, thanks.
  8. Dzogchen Teachings

    I don't have a problem, and guess who gets to decide that? *Hint* It is not you. What you think and what is, seem to be separate from that perspective, imo. I presonally think we can bridge the gaps between teachings, only once we can relinquish the hold of the perpetuated traditions, that have been perpetuated in a lot of ignorance.

    Hey Stimpy, You quoted "The true nature is not created by the Guru and not by the pupil.", but who said that? I agree with this statement in a more technical manner. The way things are is the null hypothesis and and anytime you deviate from the null hypothesis you are creating an alternative hypothesis that would require evidence to determine how likely that claim is.
  10. Dzogchen Teachings

    That is a poor argument imo, if you are unable to further explain your position than don't post anything? It seems like the intention of the above post is more geared towards being hurtful than helpful, imo.
  11. Vinegar for Long Life

    That was a cool post, thanks for brining it up.
  12. A Matter of Respect.

    Remember that ultimately you choose to be offended, as do they. I think the intention or motivation for the disrespect is the key in determining where the fault is. (Many times it can just be a misunderstanding or miscommunication)
  13. A Matter of Respect.

    Be assertive and critique the way that they address the issue and their arguments, to make evident the flaws in the argument and or manners.
  14. Taoist Third Eye Training?

    I agree, but what is the value, iyo? Imo, the rationale that led to the conclusion is as important, if not more important, than the conclusion itself.

    Jax, Can you teach me something useful for practice? All this bickering is a waste, if you can teach us something pls do!
  16. Are storms evil?

  17. Are storms evil?

    Good and evil is a contruct of your mind. Storms create more charged particles in the in the atmosphere from friction created by colliding masses of air, creating static. There are also changes in air-pressure and temperature which you might notice on a more subtle level, not to mention it could ruin your picnic. You also don't want to be drenched so it kinda sucks. I like the rain and storms personally, I sleep the best during storms. They also save having to pay for water for your garden and/or plants.
  18. hello from Haripal

    Where is haripal?
  19. Hi Folks!

    You can crash on teh couch I guess . . .
  20. Vinegar for Long Life

  21. Vinegar for Long Life

    I get red vinegar on an italian sub with added bacon (vinegar on both sides of the bread) So hungry now . .
  22. Vinegar for Long Life

    I think it would be good to mix green machine with oxygen infused cilantro extract to detox heavy metals and cleanse the pineal gland of the heavy toxic substance like mercury and fluoride.
  23. Vinegar for Long Life

    Not to sound like an advertisement dummy but Naked makes a cool drink with organic chlorella and spirulina called green machine. The strawberry banana is delicious but not quite as nutritious.
  24. WHERE AMI I?

    When are you?
