Yep, you also feel the pain when taking a good dump..

With a partner, one can cultivate through tantric techniques. But that requires two relatively conscious individuals who are 'enlightened'. A partner can drain the other easily, if there is no balance in the relationship.

Now concerning the market... This is why the stock market is BS. What happened in the 1990s? It's called the 401k. Pensions use to be simple and easy. Not anymore. Now it is just rise and repeat. PUMP and DUMP. PUMP and DUMP on prices for the last 20 years.

Which is weird to think about, because I don't think any actually cares to do so... You do realize that you can take that money and pay a stripper to stroke your ego for you in ways we never could... Just saying. I don't quite understand the notion of wanting to get off by getting off on other people... Seems ironic and silly. But if it makes you smile, OK.

Tisk tisk. Practicing Tao in a reverse manor I see. lol. Fun. Why not reserve judgement and just observe? You may find hidden gems... Turd holder.

Don't control your desires, understand what the opposite sex may be feeling. Tap into your female or male side and perceive sex through that lens. Now I am not talking about homosexuality, I am talking about mindfulness, only then will you be able to 'control' your understanding and desires of sex. Porn has given rise to a generation of sex dummies, who believe that all women wish to be jack hammered or anally aroused. It also seems a lot of young women have taken to favor this approach to sex so they can simply receive some kind of affection from a overly yang male. Balance and bridal your passions/desires through mindfulness, there you will be beyond duality and suffering. Also if one is trying to see if they can go without sex, yes it is possible to stop masturbating or having sex for some time. But realize that eventually one will need to release if one is not able to transmute or sublimate there energy some how. Eventually your energy will begin stagnating if one chooses to stop having sex all together. At least it seems so.

Ahh Material. Ummm. Hrmmm. The Big Bang is great. Two celestial beings were BANGING and then BOOM.

You know sree, can you argue that taking a dump is NOT beneficial for one's own health and well being, possibly even spiritually? You seem to love counter arguments... Everyday I detach a turd from my being and it has never caused me any problems by doing so. Now, HOLDING onto this turd, yes, that usually causes a lot of suffering and pain. It does not allow me to 'BE', my being is to focused on this turd to understand itself or to even know that 'I AM'. You see sree? Your holding in your turd, constantly refining it with every argument waiting until death to release this turd... Have you not realized that you can hold many different perspectives and opinions, just be releasing the current one you have and digesting a new one? Yes, it sort of is like eating food. You choose the food you favor, you enjoy it for whatever it is worth, you digest, you understand it, you become one with it, and then you let it go. So you can repeat the process again and again. So let your turd go sree, or else you might throw it up.

I agree.

"For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief." Ecclesiastes 1:18

Not satisfy with one's own glory I see.

I see. Yes. I could not imagine what that is like, but those invisible one's are there letting us know why we are here. I have a brother who has been sick for many years and hates the idea of 'God' or anything concerning it because it reminds him of his illness and the life he wishes he could be living. It sucks because it seems nothing will 'move' his mind, besides blaming others. But I have also met 'handicap' people who are HIGHLY gifted and I mean HIGHLY. You give and take, I guess.

As for ancestral work, YES! PLEASE DO SO! TAKE CARE OF YOUR ANCESTORS BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY! PLEASE! I have seen many different people and dis-incarnate souls in the 'astral' who are seeking some kind of help or attention for their woes. I usually refer these people to the Goddess or angels who can help these beings transition over some how. One can easily read up on plenty of psychics who are constantly being pestered by people who have died tragically and are trying to contact the 'other side'. I have friends from many different back grounds and religions and it seems many have different customs for taking care of their ancestors. I know Buddhist like to give alms and set out food for their ancestors. Mormon's believe in baptism's for the dead, a interesting belief concerning the alchemy of the soul and the baptism's ability to renew and purify one's subtle body. Strangely enough, I have actually talked to many people who have shared their experiences and dreams as well concerning baptism for their ancestors. Some ancestors accept it willingly, while some are happy where they are at, wherever that is in the void. Some people describe their ancestors in a heaven like place, while others describe their ancestors being stuck in a state of 'hell' due to their own indignation concerning the previous life they lived. Unfortunately this is a huge topic in Christian-dom and some people do not like the idea or consider it pagan. But if my ancestors asked me to do something for them, as many have, I would take heed. (http://carm.org/baptism-for-the-dead-in-1-corinthians-15-29) As for the Immortals, I am not to sure what they are up to. It seems they are highly self-sufficient and are able to subsist without the need for assistance. They usually have HUGE heads as well. A lot of knowledge and wisdom. None the less, connect with your ancestors and let them know you love them. If they are in need, they will reach out and will more than likely ask for assistance. Also if your ancestors were involve in previous 'crafts' be careful concerning your ordeals with said relatives, even family can f*ck you over. My brother was once married to a spouse whose parents apparently offered their daughter up in a pact to some being. This being made it's pact known one night during a camping trip near a fire. Creepy sh*t. My brother ended up divorcing this wife because of that ordeal. Apparently her eyes changed and everything during the incident. ahaha. https://familysearch.org/ <---- Good site to start.

Yea, sticking up for the Angels here, these beings reserve judgement. HAHAHA. They do not judge any one. They are beyond duality, so yes it can be 'hard' for them to relate to one's own inherited state of being, because they are 'perfect' in knowledge, design, and execution. They have no need to partake in the transgressions or experiments of life. They're glory and bodies are of a different accord, it seems. So yes, logically they would have a hard time automatically relating to a human stuck here on earth, seeking to survive. They are simply devoted to teaching and helping souls realize their fullest potential. It seems they do not care for much else. So be careful what you ask for, 'beings' are always listening, and some may honestly care while others may see you as a meal ticket.

That is profound. Always happy to be alive. Indeed.

"There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another." 1 Corinthians 15:40 "The sun has one kind of glory, while the moon and stars each have another kind. And even the stars differ from each other in their glory." 1 Corinthians 15:41 This gets into the topic of glory, which is interesting to read about. Mormonism being one of the newest religions in the last 300 years focuses a lot on this. Joseph Smith wrote a lot about the higher worlds as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_glory Paul wrote about the heavens but didn't say a whole lot and Enoch was a traveling man concerning the heavens in the Book of Enoch as well as Moses, in the book of Moses. Apparently they needed to be translated to realize these higher states of existence as well as Joseph Smith. It is very interesting to read about. They are plenty of parallels concerning these higher worlds in almost every other religion as well, Buddhism and Hinduism. I am sure Islam has some reference as well. I believe I once visited one of these worlds that seemed to be very rich and fine in detail in a dream. But I ended up descending because I felt the need to steal a pair of shoes. I didn't understand that I didn't have to steal or covet said shoes. I realized that if I wanted to keep exploring these worlds, I needed to change 'inwardly' to maintain a sense of belonging in such higher states.

WOW! YES! This is exactly HOW I SEE people when I dream at times. For some, they are not concerned about anything, they are simply existing in the life they have created for themselves and quite honestly it is strange some times because it seems some people never truly found what they were looking for, as if they never had enough time to find all of the Truth. They settled for whatever it was that they were living at the time and sometimes these 'self-creations' are very dark or they are very benevolent. This place beyond yin/yang is what I believe to be the Kingdom of God, or nirvana. Beyond duality. I guess that explains this verse very well, "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24 What truly matters in this non-dual state is who we truly are on the inside, what qualities we have cultivated on the inside. Hence, alchemy. Whether one was seeking to live certain standards or even practicing The Dharma. What we think, we ultimately become. Religion does not matter, unless you understand WHY you practice your religion. Then it is all the same. If one's religion is simply to ease the ego from being annihilated at death, one still has a lot of inner-work to do. If one has yet to experience the vast profoundness of the void and what is possible there, my words are probably in vain, because it is something that one must experience for themselves. Where 'mind over matter' is a simple truth to understand and experience. Where one can fly, levitate, teleport, shape shift, etc by simply believing or having 'faith' that one can do so. Where the God's play and create world's innumerable. Another fun verse for the Astral surfers to ponder... "He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."" Matthew 17:20 The only thing that 'scares' me about death, is did I love enough? Did I give it my all concerning this time on the merry go round? Did I reach my fullest potential? If I were to die today, I could go willingly, but it seems my heart would not be satisfied knowing that anything is possible.

The best position in any war is not to have a position. A position of "non-position". A state of neutrality. Nothingness. "form is emptiness; emptiness is form" “Remember that we sometimes demand explanations for the sake not of their content, but of their form. Our requirement is an architectural one; the explanation a kind of sham corbel that supports nothing.” ~Wittgenstein

hahaha. Interesting. I was studying that verse of scripture the other day as well. Synchronicity. The way i understand it is simply, one can not SERVE BOTH ends of the spectrum and expect to exist in a relevant state of 'whatever BS term people call it these days'. Such as people who push religion for the sack of influence and power. I have had dreams and have seen people with deep black eyes, a preacher actually. Go figure. You can serve Yang or you can serve Yin, but you can't TRULY serve both. Unless you either accept yourself as BOTH. The narrow path. Where you accept heaven and hell, and don't mind either, you are simply aware of both and understand that YIN can not happen without YANG, and vice versa. "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." Matthew 6:22 In my opinion, the best way to find this "Light" is to simply to ask why about everything and search for truth constantly.

Hrmmm. That wouldn't be dying would it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA. "DEATH HAS NO MEANING!"

Every thought that provides you with an identity, be it positive or negative, is a fragment of the ego or mind-made sense of self. Most are under the impression that if enough thoughts are accumulated, these can be pieced together resulting is selfknowledge. This approach is purely psychological. Just as gathering enough leaves can never produce a tree, gathering thoughts will never produce anything more than a self-aware ego. HAHHAHA! No sh*t! Very true! This idea of abandoning the ego is a bit pointless at times though. I can understand when some one is NOT willing to let go of their 'position' of what they think is true, there are well invested in their ego. The mind can be situated in several manors, decorated with various religious thoughts and traditions. People do what they have to do to survive. The ego will tell you, that you HAVE TO SURVIVE, you have to PLAY THE GAME. I believe I have died at least once and came back to my body to realize that I am more than my physical body it seems. But it never occurs to some that, were they ever truly aware and conscious of their transition here to earth? Who or what is taking care of the souls that are transitioning between this life and the next? I've seen dis-incarnate souls as well in the astral. My ego would like to know what man truly is, so it can manipulate and contort such power and knowledge to 'escape' realization. Maybe that is why we don't truly know what we are TRULY made of and how.. I would create a space ship made of light and I would leave Earth. Now I am just ranting, thank you ego. Thank you for giving me a sense of purpose. I don't know WHAT are you are ego or why you even exist, but I am still grateful for your 'existence'. Maybe that is all that matters?

Great question.

Ahh. I forgot the Muslims as well. I saw Krishna once with a bunch of jewels as well as Ganesha as well.

It is called loyalty and it deals with conflicts of interest, you will find it in every system or religion concerning the God's. "Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." Exodus 34:13 Strange verse, but it deals with the Israelite's and how they were worshiping false idols rather than the true and living God, themselves and the Higher Beings who created them, it seems. Also, if you are ever initiated into a religion, group, or coven perhaps. You will deal with this same issue as well, due to influence, conflicts of interest, and sources of energy. It is just the way things have been down for the last couple thousands of years. But I have seen all different types of spiritual things in the astral. Catholics, Mormons, Christians, Wiccans, Satanist, Buddhist, who all had abilities and seemed 'enlightened'.

Yea that is unfortunate. What you saw initially were students who were apart of that Master's system. An example would be a catholic walking into a Islamic temple for example, the catholic has yet to integrate the influence and energy at the Islamic temple compared to going to a Catholic Cathedral. If one was sensitive enough to feel chi it would sort of feel like a electromagnetic pulse or sphere. The lower self cannot feel this directly. MMA fighers focus all their energy on their yang aspects and their minds/energy is dark, rigid, and dense most of the time.
