Well, just came back from the heart specialist. Oh yeah, he was shocked in a positive way. My Mom is 100% cured and recovered with an ejection fraction rate of 72%, from 29% 3 years ago. At this point, her doctor's visits are largely about slowly reducing the amount of medication she should take.

Hehehehhee...I thought is interesting that my mind can actually sense the power of nature before it gets released. The quake took place around 5pm Eastern time in the US, in the East Coast. This morning, around 7am, I had a vision seeing myself in NYC Manhattan hiding from a, earthquake. I saw buildings crumbling down and it brought back memories of the 9/11. In this vision, I never really experienced any trauma but just the thoughts of sensing myself running for cover because of an earthquake. Of course, I didn't know if this was a metaphor for something else...like Trump related or actually depicting a future event unfolding and sensing people's emotion and thoughts.

Since this is the Dao Bum, we aren't talking about some new age concepts or a philosophical doctrine......but a realization of the mind..to realize the Tao...the Dharma....

Nah...it has nothing to do with desire. Is just that it can happen when you have realized certain truths or to have penetrated the illusions in your life. It happens because your mind is growing and expending. The only way you can stop from becoming enlightened, at least towards it, is to grasp and attach to your illusions or your reality. That may lead to your own suffering or leading others to suffer. Is like a rabbit hole..it only gets deeper without ends.....

I have this strange dream few weeks ago. I dream that I was practicing Pole Standing Tai Chi...in a place where I should not be doing. That was how I felt. Somehow, I was with another student and there was a teacher in front of us. I didn't get to see his face or who this teacher was or if he was an immortal. What happened was that I felt the chi moving in my arms. In a way that the chi was shifting weight on my arms from left to right. Giving the sense of motion of titling my body from right up left down and left up and right down. I was rocking from left to right and right to left like I was on a boat. I felt this movement in the dream. I am pretty sure my actual body was experiencing this sensation as I was dreaming this scene. Then, the scene changed. Now, I found my arms were in front of me, in front of my upper dan tien. My wrists were bend and the palms facing outward. Again, I sensed my chi was moving in my arms now and slowly being projected like waves. My arms were moving like before doing the Pole Standing Tai Chi. Moving right up and left down and left up and right down. Throughout the entire dream sequences, I felt this rocking sensation the whole time.... Anyway, I just picked up two books by master Waysun Liao, "Tai Chi Classic" and "Restoring Your Life Energy...." And probably would begin to practice Tai Chi.... It would blow my mind if I could make great progress from the book....

Heheheh...well, I need to find a place to practice. Hopefully somewhere outside and not too many people. By the beach area.....

Let's look at it this way. If immortality is possible, why would you still need a body? Having a body means that you have to take care of it. The body was originally used in the immortality alchemy purpose. Once you have become an immortal, why would you still need the body. If you don't need the body, why would you continue to reverse your aging process??? It seems like you can not be an immortal if you are still need to take care the body by reversing the aging process. If you become an immortal, you don't need a body.

Frankly, I just let nature to take its course if it should leak jing. If you fight it, you going to have some strange dreams...hehehehhee.... Well, they do teach you but only in your dreams and consciousness...the most direct transmission...isn't it???? Most people can't learn anything even sitting in a classroom with a teacher. Judging with numerous beings and figures I have encountered in my dreams, when they appear, they are as real as a real form. I once dream of myself sleeping in my own room and I saw this blonde hair, blue eyed figure showed up by my bedside. Not only that, I held his hand and really felt how rough his skin was.....It was so real that when I woke up, I looked to my right of my bed to see if he was still there....real or not real...I don't believe it is that important for an immortal. What is matter is how your mind perceives them. Then, there are the faces I saw in my meditation...hehehehhee..

Well, to answer the original question, my dream states and visions are definitely on the high quality side. Right now, my jing or my essence is full. Don't feel the urge to release for a while now. Haven't had any dreams indicating I want to release. I guess when my essence is full, my dreams and visions would take a newer dimension. My dreams would embed with extreme wisdom and finding myself interacting with beings or situations in which I would never be able to achieve in real life situations. I would have more clarity and concentration in my dream state. I could see and recognize faces more clearer. Even if my essence has been depleted, my dream and mind states do not suffer a crash either. Is not like I would have nightmares and anxiety dreams. I may have more dreams about annoying subjects. These dream contents do not affect my mood in my waking state. However, there was a time when I experienced another Kundalini energy rising in the middle of the night...only few hours after my jing has been leaked. Like I said earlier, leaking Jing can impede your enlightenment progress and yet not at the same time..... I personally don't know at what point in which your jing leakage won't affect your cultivation....

Oh...about the immortality???? I can only comment on it in reference to Buddhism and the idea behind the death bardo. Why? To give birth to the Taoist immortality, you have to transform your pearl light into the golden elixir. Obviously, if you don't see any light during your meditation, you aren't going to give birth to the golden elixir, period. In the Tibetan Buddhism teaching of the bardo, the deceased also needs to recognize this light in their death consciousness transition. It is said that if you can follow this light and to hold on to it in the bardo, you would not have to reborn again in the human realm. Supposedly, if you can see this light during your meditation, your rebirth to the heavenly realm is guaranteed. So, yes, immortality is possible in the Taoist internal alchemy system but your consciousness would only live and dwell in the heavenly realm or formless realm. That's how I understood about the Taoist immortality though reading up on the death bardo experience in the Tibetan Buddhism.

Huh..............?????? Strange.....hmmmm

About immortality? I think is a reference to the continuation of the consciousness. Not in a physical sense. Is it real? I think so...because I have seen few figures in my visions which can only be described as immortals because they were dressed in different times. And they live in the heavenly realm or the formless realm. How do they appear and why they would appear? I don't know....

Thanks but nah.....it isn't helping. You are supposed to transform your jing, into Chi, and chi to Shen The problem lies in that jing leakage is a real issue. As long as you are losing your jing, it is difficult to cultivate your chi into Shen. Is not impossible however. I believe that as long as you allow nature to work on your jing leakage while cultivating your chi, the benefits can be accumulative. The common belief that if you are leaking jing, you will lose all of your cultivation progress, which is not true.

Yeah, what cycle??? Do you think you can hold your jing forever and not leaking???

Have we forgotten something? You jing gets depleted and replenished in a cycle. Is just a natural way of nature. At what points you think your jing is helping you looking young and etc... Is it permanent?? At what points the benefits becoming permanent? Regardless of your jing depletion and replenishment cycles????

I was awakened when I had my kundalini energy rising experience or "experiences." Or MCO...all spontaneous. I was awakened to what?? Through years of exhausting my mind to understand my mental state of confusion and delusion (I would spare you all my life stories and many, many tragic embarrassing moments), I just stopped myself from becoming. The idea that I should become something or somebody in this life had ceased to be. And I was just left to be without trying to become something or somebody. It was that one night, my kundalini energy risen...and continued on for the next 15 days. In this awakening, I felt what you called the Self..or the Atman. Previously, all the energy I devoted to become something outside of myself, they were found within myself. For the first time, I sensed there was something inside me. There is this Self presence inside my mind. People called it bliss. I was never versed in these new age talks and other religious talking points. The experience opened up my mind to another dimensions (past life or past lives)...which took another decade or so to "clear" up. But..really..is all illusions other than they can provide information and insights and wisdom into another cultures, another races, and in another countries..and in a different time frames too.

All skandhas intertwined but Form is the most powerful and the most sticky one. It binds you to this world from the moment of your birth and to your death. It is the first because it is the first thing you work with when dealing with suffering. What do you think you work with when dealing with suffering....initially??? Broke through Form, your kundalini energy will rise. Or the wind energy in Tibetan Buddhism. Or Chi or MCO in Taoist internal alchemy.

How about saving human lives instead??? Or helping others to end suffering?? I don't believe the rituals are actually useful as expedient means to realize your own enlightenment. They went through a great length and expense to free lives stocks "back" into the wild and in order to teach other Buddhist practitioners about compassion and Karma. Won't it be better to teach them to help others instead? And people in need?

Is simple because I am speaking from experiences, not because I like simplicity. Is simple because my mind has been liberated or awakened not knowing the 4 noble truths and 8 fold paths. LOL LOL LOL....... I broke through the first skandha of Form by working within the context of my own human condition and social context. As a result, I became very well versed in social issues and geopolitical politics. I can even sense and have visions about the political changes in another countries!!!!!!!

Not exactly. Ask yourself this question...have you broken through the first skandha of Form???? Considering you understand the meaning of the 4 noble truths and the 8 fold paths. That is, have you relieved yourself from your own emotional afflictions and attachment to your world, ever? Well, I have and I didn't even need to know the 4 noble truths and 8 fold paths. You have to work within the existing human conditions and context to liberate yourself and other individuals. Suffering from social injustice because of racism? Reciting the 4 noble truths and the 8 fold paths won't work. They aren't magical sutras. You would try to prove to the world that racism can't keep you down. You would eventually realize that your race isn't the cause of your suffering, but a social construct designed to create racial inequality in the society. You would then begin to embrace your race and ethnicity and would no longer try to become something or someone that causes your suffering. This works well with sexism and gender politics too. If you have really exhausted the mind to penetrate the root cause of your suffering by working within your own human conditions and context, you have broken the first skandha of Form. Your Kundalini energy would rise, period, speaking from experiences. You are then awakened and to have discovered your Dharma Gates. LOLOLOLOLOLOL............ It depends on the human conditions in which these suffering are being manifested. When I see all these charts and arrows, I am like...sh-t, you are kidding me right. Charts and arrows can lead to liberation and the advancement of the human mind??? LOL.....

Wow....so Matrix..download and install???? .....LOL https://ausar.org/rasa/

I am down...for $2k...I can become an immortal, free from the wheel of karma, to be reborn in the heavenly realm with all the Buddhas???? LOL... In which points you are supposed to liberate the world and others from suffering?? Ooops.....

I completed my MCO AND the Kundalini energy rising when I was 18, without the use of drugs. I don't smoke or drink. I oppose the use of drugs of course because the drug induced blissful experiences would not allow you to realize the transcendental wisdom (knowledge of the Dharma or the Tao). Frankly, the drugs themselves did it for you, not your thoughts or consciousness. Some claim that the drugs are useful to get you started on the path.....

To answer your question...the seed of Dharma is not in the sutras and is not something can be taught. Is everywhere and nowhere. Dharmakaya is all prevailing from one life time to another. From one life to the next. It has no fixed point and fixed body. That's the ultimate reality and non-reality of the Dharmakaya. As we all know, your understanding or lack of the understanding of the Dharma teaching is pointless if you can't liberate your own suffering and others. You become a parrot repeating the teaching you heard but don't understand what they mean.

You know you didn't answer my questions, right? Instead, you went on about writing a lengthy post on many subjects relating to Nibbina and the skillful means to achieve realization..hoping something would work. A highly realized being, a sambhogakaya buddha, can manifest themselves in this world and be able to liberate the suffering individuals with a single word or a single phrase or no words at all at the right time and place. Because they KNOW. Is called self realized Buddha (not self taught)..pratyekabuddha,.during the time when sutras were lost or not taught. The individuals realize his own enlightenment by knowing the 12 links of interdependent origination in his own life without being taught. How??? His realization is a testament of the Dharmakaya and all prevailing from one life time to another!!!!!!! http://www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?title=Pratyekabuddha Real Dharma works in the real world.
