Unburdened.

Which leads to a very arrogant holier-than-thou behaviour, yes? Sometimes I let my ego get the best of me and act like that at times, It's an awful realization to see you have been behaving in a way you disaproove of. It's the proverbial stick up the rear end. But fear not, realizing it is the first and utmost step in letting go of it. Good luck brother.

Opening the Third Eye: Spiritual Sight

Hell no, I don't want to be rescued, I'd like to rescue myself if possible. -
Opening the Third Eye: Spiritual Sight
Samurai Mountain man replied to Hypnagog's topic in Daoist Discussion
Ah, I see. you make a very good point ChiForce, thank you. However, It needs not be either way, this is what I meant when I advocated both the experimentation with psychedelics and the traditional approach. I also stated before that goals could be similar, but not exactly the same, the spiritual experience. We're talking about cultivating/opening the third-eye and a person trying both ways in parallel is able to gain insight into something others may not, and in turn share what's experienced with them, it's exploration for the sake of learning and experiencing something new, not for the sake of saying "well this is the most effective way to do it". I don't want to come off as im just simply advocating the use of psychedelics to be a counter-culture apologist mouthpiece, or saying that they're superior, what I am trying to say is based on what we can research about them, they're well worth the shot. Do not mistake me for aTimothy Leary drone saying LSD will free your mind and give you a groovy time, that's just silly because in the end; there's gonna be a thousand fold ways of attaining a thousand fold different spiritual experiences and there's no arguing with each personal result. This is also why I tried to divert the thread's focus from psychedelics to meditation and others, so we wouldn't stagnate in what I put forward. -

Oh and I forgot. What do you mean with "your western LSD approach to your western version of an eastern goal."? Sounds like im unworthy of eastern methods. yes? -

Perhaps but I don't see a problem with this. I don't claim "my tao" is the right tao. I claim it is my tao and it satisfies me. -

I respect where you're comming from, and I understand the reasoning perfectly, but here's what I think: Heaven and Earth are impartial They regard myriad things as straw dogs The sages are impartial They regard people as straw dogs As much as I believe in meritocracy, the universe kept on telling me it didn't give a damn about deserving or not, this I believe and in this I trust. I've seen enough unfair suffering and death in my short time to realize it. The main reason why I even got into Taoism is because I was done with fighting the unfairness of the universe, and then I understood the universe was perfectly fair all along it was me who was thinking merit and proverbial karma had anything to do on how it worked. -
Authoritarianism - What is it?
Samurai Mountain man replied to JustARandomPanda's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Authoritarianism is the unwarranted use of authority derived from usurpation of consent and approval through whatever means available to the powerholder(s). -
I dared and it was bitchin'. I regret nothing. No but seriously, I love meat, I just don't like the Idea of industrialized cattle production (beef, pork and chicken), some times I think of how'd I feel if I were cattle. Not a very pleasant tought, I'll reduce my meat consumption.

As I said it in my first post. I'm putting psychedelics forward as an option to put taboos aside, because I believe It's perfectly valid to discuss them with mature, reasonable and unburdened logic. LSD is described as something that's helped many people with opening their third eye and breaking mental barriers. So yeah. I advocate the responsible use of substances to achieve higher mental states -if such a thing's even possible- or the simple recreational activity. I believe ethical exploration of all options is an essential part in growth, do you not agree? I both respect and support those who would prefer to steer clear of the synthetic options and deepen on a more traditional approach, there's many of us and that means we can all explore different paths to a similar goal and then possibly add what we've learned to the collective knowledge. So in favor of contributing to a more drug-free branch of the thread, I used my black belt in google-fu and dug out some reading material, bear in mind i've glanced upon it but i'll be reading it more closely this afternoon. http://www.essencetraining.com/Thirdeye_2013 http://www.psychic-junkie.com/opening-the-third-eye.html http://decalcifypinealgland.com/how-to-decalcify-the-pineal-gland/ http://dherbs.com/forums/index.php?topic=171.0 Hyyyyoooooaaaaaaaaaaoooouuuuuuhhhh. -

Im sorry but no wrestler known as Chipmunk or whatever was going to defeat the Undertaker. Im sorry, I know the truth hurts and all but it's the truth. The undertaker is not of this world, no living man can best him. "But Samurai, he's been defeated in other matches before!" That never happened, don't be silly. "Dude, yes he has; and wrestling isn't even real." That's not what your momma said when I supplexed her onto your dad's bed and piledrove my d**k in her throat. Anyways, victories are based on popularity and rep, there's no way anyone would think CM punk deserved to defeat the undertaker on wrestlemania. "but CM punk's a straight edge wrestler wh-" One more word out of you and i'll shank you, I'll shank you with my shanking shank, oh I swear to god i'll fucking shank you.

Ouch, lost my money then. though I meant a damaged Pineal gland when I said brain damage but whatever it's all wired. And if you'd care to share on the strike to the base of your skull, I am most interested. Never heard of fluoride affecting one's spiritual sight/pineal gland, and now that you've mentioned it, I can't help but to think about all of those conspiracy theories and general tinfoil-hattery arround fluoridated water. Those dang 'ol illuminati closing our third eye. Any source you can quote on this subject though? I'd like to know more. -

I think having one's third eye "broken" would ammount to actual brain damage. My money is on your brain being okay and you can go ahead with your spiritual soulsearch-thingy brother. Thumbs up. Maybe you should take some psych- errm I mean, you've tried lucid dreaming? I recall reading about how lucid dreaming further stimulates the pineal gland activity. -
The Rise In Buddhist Violence: How Does Theology Explain It?
Samurai Mountain man replied to silas's topic in General Discussion
The news report said piles of burned bodies, including those of children, were found in the hills, no? The less we justify acts of brutality, the sooner we can start letting go of them. -

Lol I think 8 shots of vodka are actually gonna close both of your regular eyes instead. And no I haven't tried LSD, but i've read numerous accounts and studies regarding it's effects. People who have had a good trip -at least- report having their outlook on life changed positively. Albert hoffman, the man responsible for it's discovery is a prime example of LSD's usefulness in the right hands: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hofmann#Discovery_of_LSD P ersonally I think that on a safe enviorment with a sober friend spotting you, it's an experience worth trying, certainly you've nothing to lose from it... Now if I could just get my hands on a tablet in my country, i'd volunteer to research and journal for the Tao bums. Some people report one trip was enough to do the trick, others claim it took them a few tries. I think coupling it with whatever other third-eye related activities you might want to try will give good results. -

Samurai Mountain man replied to Hypnagog's topic in Daoist Discussion
Putting taboos aside; a method considered to be practical in third-eye opening/stimulation is the use of psychedelics, LSD being named as the utmost. I realize that to most, the use of drugs might sound risky, but LSD's not known to be addictive or physically harmful to consume in the regular 1 tablet dose. So it's not like you're shooting up heroin or drowning your brain with absinthe. That's my personal opinion, if you feel like LSD is like cheating, well that's a matter of perception and preference, the traditional approach is just as valid, im just putting this forward as an option if you prefer less esoteric means. -

Interesting words Chenping, and I think there's much observe here with what you've put forward. Is purity always a good thing? is purity even practical? When water becomes infused with tea, it becomes "corrupted", it's no longer pure water but something more. The closer we look at particular isolated elements we can see that they are "pure" but the further away we get from detail and look at the whole picture, we realize it's an interaction between two or more elements. Same goes for us as human beings, what we see as ourselves -or what others see us as- is an amalgam of experiences, internal and external forces shape the body and mind. To me, purity is the most transitory state of being, one can be conceptually pure but I think that's as far as it goes. Lol, You've earned one free internet.
