When I was in first grade I held my breath till I passed out, thereby hitting my head on a couple tile walls and the cement floor and I woke up with blood streaming down the back of my skull. Then I read that according to Western science what I did was impossible - the intention to hold the breath till you pass out is supposed to be over-ridden by the anterior cingulate gyrus - which is part of the deeper limbic brain - so it overpowers the cerebral cortex intention to hold the breath. Only somehow in first grade I disproved science. So then my book friend told me he came across an anthropology book on the first sherpas to climb mount Everest - to get hired for the job they had to hold their breath till they passed out. Showing they had the will power for breath control. So that meant obviously this ability was well known in non-Western cultures but the Western mind is too weak to consider it a possibility. So I meditated on how, as a first grader, I was able to do what is still considered scientifically impossible. Then I read this book by Professor Michael Lesy - called Heroes - it's about totally normal people who are basically underachievers but lurking inside them is some seriously repressed emotional energy. Then out of the blue an emergency circumstance appears requiring some human to display supernatural powers - and presto! These people suddenly come to life. He had investigated their backgrounds and in each case the person has some serious trauma that they had emotionally repressed and so they had all this stored up emotional energy. It's like the story qigong master Chunyi Lin tells about how there was an earthquake in China and this old lady was trapped under rubble for a week and when she was saved and asked how she survived - she said she had been so mad at her neighbor that she wanted to stay alive to get revenge. haha. So then upon meditation I realized that what happened is that in first grade this girl had this crush on me because I used to stick my chest out when I walked around the classroom to try to impress the girls. I didn't like this girl but she kept saying my name backwards spelled "Weird" and so I had to ask the teacher if this was true. Then the older females -- the mothers and my older sister -- conspired to force me to go on a date with this girl - we went ice skating and then I went to her apartment and I ate goldfish crackers on her carpet. I was nice about it of course but I felt like I had been treated like a piece of meat. I had no choice in the matter. If the girl is out there reading this - hey nothing personal - it wasn't about you - it was just I was given no choice in the matter. haha. So I was too young to realize how I had processed and repressed my anger and then one day the boys as we walked down the cement hallway to the other end of the school we had a contest who could hold their breath the longest. Let's just say I won the contest by a long shot -- as I was at the urinal I was still holding my breath while the others had long forgotten there had even been a contest. haha. Anyway so of course I didn't die but I was told to never hold my breath again and so for a long time I didn't swim underwater since I was very literate and that is what I had been told - when you have a bunch of nurses yelling at you then you tend to take their word seriously. But I would say sometimes people do die when they have this serious repressed emotional energy that breaks their heart and then they end up expressing that energy in a way that cracks open their skull to send out their spirit - so to speak. One time I pulled an old lady's spirit right out of the top center of her skull and she immediately bawled for at least 15 minutes - it felt like a heavy electromagnetic blob when I pulled it out of her. The secret to transcending death while staying physically alive is the secret of yin and yang energy dynamics -- and this secret is detailed in the book "Taoist YOga: Alchemy and Immortality" - http://www.mediafire.com/?1owotofjjzr this teaches how to create yin spirits that transcend death. I have seen qigong master Chunyi Lin do this when he heals people and also he even heals dead people! So the qigong masters communicate and heal the spirits of the other world - not just heal people who are physically alive. I know the Tibetan monks will feel a person's body right after they die - the part of the body that gets cold last is the part where their spirit left their body and this indicates the holographic parallel of where their spirit goes - just as taught in Taoism - if our spirit -- the electromagnetic energy -- is stuck in our lower chakras then we live a life of hell while physically alive and then we go to hell when we die. If the electromagnetic energy is stuck in our upper chakras then we live a life of heaven while alive and we go to heaven when we die. And so qigong masters can also read our past lives by looking into our eyes since that expresses our spirit energy which includes our past lives. But the energy is always transforming and so this process of eternal transformation never changes since it is from the yin-yang dynamics of reality. Consciousness - the spirit light energy - is always going into Emptiness as pure formless being of the spacetime vortex. Consciousness as spirit energy can travel into the past to change the past energy blockages and thereby change our present condition and consciousness as spirit energy can travel into the future to prepare us for how our desires -- our emotional energy -- will play out. The emptiness is this eternal spacetime vortex that creates the rainbow light astral energy that is our spirit consciousness. So death is kind of like waking from a dream but much more powerful - in fact precognitive dreams are MORE REAL than being awake!! So if a precognitive dream comes true three years later in detail as happened with me - what does that mean about our present waking state? It is obviously a type of dream state. And so death is like deep dreamless sleep - a portal or gateway to higher frequency energy as a different type of spirit consciousness. We normally can't see spirits but if we increase the frequency of our spirit consciousness in our body then we can see spirits - dead people - as they interact with the physical living - we can also have perception that is more powerful than normal - the pineal gland third eye is the spirit light energy that then will translate into the other senses as smell, sight, etc. And so we can have super amazing smell that can smell cancer as rotting death smell. Normally smell is activated by the theta dream state consciousness and so smell is only activated by new sensations while awake but when we have the one breath between dreaming and waking then we can smell old smells from the theta dream consciousness. So this proves that our sense of linear time perception is not the real connection to our senses. We have to dream to process all the higher frequency light information that is subconscious while we are in the waking state with linear thinking using language - planning intention. So dreaming is the REM processing that has to happen to integrate the new subconscious perceptions with our old memories. So achieving a higher frequency consciousness means being aware of the subconscious perceptions while in "real" linear time - a waking dream state. And so when we die this is also a waking dream state that also enables super-perceptions that occur directly through the pineal gland light awareness - the coherent light spirit energy. You can read about this or watch it through the Near Death Experience reports - the cable show: "I Survived: Beyond and Back" is a great source. There are many more of these on youtube.

A-players always rush. Our reality is the prison that I need to get out of without delay. Silent Thunder and others here talk about lucid dreams. Isn't this reality lucid enough of a dream? You don't wake up even if you bang your head on the wall in great pain and blood streams down your face. I don't think one can break out of this reality prison in a sudden Zen awakening. If this is true, according to the Mahayana Buddhist, we would all have been freed 2,500 years ago when the Buddha awakened to the truth that the self is an illusion. But I am not free and still stuck in this space-time lucid dream even though I do realize that the self is an illusion. I know there is only the body walking around. It will eventually breakdown and die. I don't want to die a bozo. We are like mountain climbers who never get to reach the top but fall off the rock face - all of us. Does that make sense to you? Every time some other climber goes whizzing past me on his way down, I hear that sickening thud and ask why? I am told there are now 7 billion bozos in existence climbing up the mountain side. With an average annual death rate of 5%, that means there are one million bozos dying every day and about 11 every second. Thud, thud, thud...I could be next. I think this lucid dream reality prison has a lock with multiple pin tumblers and not a simple lock with just one pin. Opening this lock is like cracking a safe with multiple combinations. The Buddha discovered the first combination: the self is an illusion. And that was only the first step to cracking the safe. There was no liberation, no Nirvana. This is why we are still locked in. We need to find the next combination to the safe. This lock may have only two pin tumblers and the next combination could free us all.

So you think your whole life is a lie and a dream? When you wake up from this "bad dream", your real splendid identidy will be revailed to you? Dream on.

That's former defense minister of Canada. Funny thing, I watched this yesterday and did some reading up on aliens and watched some videos by bashar. Last night what happens? I have this dream of being abducted, a ship appeared but I realised I didn't have to go in for something to happen, there was a drilling sound at the back of my head as though i was being adjusted. Then I woke up what i thought was my bed but instead was in another dream (inception? lol) with my pineal gland about to burst causing me to open my jaw very wide. Some other stuff happened but I don't know what to make of it.

DESIRE'S ENTANGLEMENT Desire may hurt you and you will try to forget and you may appear to be succesful, but desire will one day return. It will sneak in, catch you when you're offguard. Why does it hate you so, why does this love torture you so? Tease you so? You will remember all that you have chosen to forget, and let go, for your own sake, but you're powerless towards this desire. You will find yourself entangled within its strings. Tormented by it's pulls, unable to allow yourself to go and be pulled, you resist and it hurts like fck! What have you done to deserve this? Who are you? Is this me I'm talking to? Who is this? Why are you suffering so? Why are you resisting and why do you not give in to your desire? Why can't you be given all that you desire? Why can't it be handed to you? Isn't that what you want? Isn't your true desire to receive all that you desire, easily? How does the vision of ease pain you? Is it too impossible to believe? Why not enjoy the dream then? Become a dreamer like me and wait for your rescue to come, rescue you from your entanglement. Perhaps it's the only way... This desire is too great. Let's sit the bench on this one. Let's watch the torture take it's course even as we contemplate the pleasurable outcomes. Our thoughts are free.

For advanced qi training there can be no sexual thoughts. But in the modern context most people can probably only practice tantra. As our energy builds up then we attract the complementary opposite type of energy - so the higher we go - the lower we attract. This means more serious blockages to be emptied out. I woke myself up from a dream of darkest import and then flexed the PC muscle while having a huge internal orgasm and then I went into full lotus to sublimate it. Then I slept for a bit but then went back into full lotus for part two which is to bring the energy down the front - through mind emptiness. But as Nan and Bodri state - if the mind was already dirtied by the thoughts then you can't really make chi energy from it. So to keep building up chi energy requires a pure environment - otherwise people around us are always sucking off or sapping our energy. I have been told this directly by a qigong master so it's not just my interpretation. As for the psychic mutual climaxes I have had verbal confirmation besides all the body language of orgasms. haha. I stopped "flexing" my pineal gland since it was draining my energy - besides it was just yin chi and made me smell like crap all the time. I still have to be very careful about my diet as Chunyi says for a qigong person food easily "goes to the head." Also I rarely ejaculate since my energy still just gets drained off as chi energy - so I burn off the sex fluids - but then the chi energy still gets suck up - so I am not building up my energy. The more you build up your energy then the more dangerous the training is to lose the alchemical pill through nocturnal emission - and also the more people around you will try to deconvert your chi energy back to the mundane level of their energy. But since I do outside manual labor then my diet is not pure enough. So as the practice advances it really is required to have a special environment to meditate - so that a pure ascetic diet can be maintained and also without being emotionally attacked by mundane people stuck in the sex-fear-anger cycle of life. This is best achieved by being a superhuman warrior to fight off the pervs, etc. haha. That's why qigong training was the focus only after becoming a kungfu master. But yeah this training is not much appreciated now in modern times as people rely on technology for their needs instead of on the timeless training of universal love energy. haha.

Dude, Solomon's Key is definitely sealed with SOMETHING. I was reading it last night on my phone and before I turned my phone off I saw a six pointed star on the screen. Fell asleep of course, saw a slew of beings of all kinds. Some creepy one's as well. Had some weird dreams as well. I find my self driving in a dirty brown river with my some relatives. We were using our car as a boat in the river and we came to this dead end. Strangely my brother blamed 'white people' for closing off the river, so he kicked the boards down and then this opening opened up and there were boats on the other side and we all got arrested? Then in another dream this African man looking preist had given me a goat that turned into a white lamb. Told me to get baptized with it apparently. I also saw some kind of temple, a miniature model. It kind of looked Egyptian. I was checking that out for a while. There was also a time in the dream where I was looking at something hat looked like the inside of watch. I want to say I was looking at some kind of subtle device, but it kept changing and made no sense really. Looked cool though.

It could be anything, you're probably the best in regards to what it means. Information travels through and it is 'you' who converts this information into symbols which then appear to you. I would take meditating inside a dream to be a very good sign.

Awoke from deep sleep to a thought, a word "charlie-horse' once it registered-connected consciously to leg, than it was consciously felt with care. It was registered as One Infinite Happening. As it is, Life lives us through thought, not thinking about. It arises without complainting, a knowing our whole entire notion of ourselves is a 'mental inner-outer time-veil. By stripping away these inner time veils, you realize your True Nature is Nothing. ♥ "The word was made flesh--manifestation within time matter-material-conceptual-IDEAS of believe that there's actually 2-products-tools happening at once. Ha! ThyRocks helps or hinderance inner creation projected outerward as a Playground Unity of conceptual opposites full with duality time thoughts. Is there really anything going on outside of inner creation? It 'appears to be', but 'appearance' is time-limitations and full of beliefs that their is separation-individualism, labeling this to that, winners-losers, victim-victimizer, etc., And, isn't Life-Lifeing purpose-goal about waking up from a day-night-dream filled with limitations, letting go flowing with emptiness dancing?

I wonder if this dream I had 2 weeks ago was a meditation case. Basically, in this dream, I was meditating. I have a nail over my head. I then used my mind to drive it through my crown. I didn't feel anything. I didn't know why I was doing it. I knew I have to do it. The nail went through my throat, to my center channel, and then existed through the left side of my ribs. Just below the heart. In the dream, I felt nothing. When I woke up, I felt nothing either. Normally, dreams dealing with the body parts would tend to have a psychosomatic effect. I had those in the past. But not with this dream. One thing I thought it was interesting was that instead of forcing something to come out, I was forcing a nail to drive through my skull. It feels like the nail was clearing something in my center channels. I am not experiencing any chi blockage physically. Maybe spiritually and psychologically I have been feeling that a bit stagnated.

Important for anyone wishing to uncover bodhicitta. The Lojong: look at everything you perceive as a dream....is called an Absolute Bodhicitta proverb, because through it, bodhicitta can be directly realized.

Yep. It is called Chaos. That could be a valid association, yes. So if he unconscious is what atheists see as the order of things.. ..then atheism has psychanalytical psychology as its belief system.. So an aetheist needs must know a lot about dream analysis, or remain in ignorance of the order of things?

Why the fuxk would you want to give human emotions to robots? You want to create a SciFi race of Cylons? Human-ness is the problem,...not the solution. As for your imagined experiences...experience born of belief, can only be experienced through the condition of that belief. Your posts indicate to me, that you have not once in this lifetime, had a direct experience. An important Lojong says, look at everything you perceive as a dream. The problem is that you believe the dream is genuine,..as in real. LOL

Hahahaa. The God's are real. Just last week I met the Lord of Hosts. It concerned a ritual in a dream in a old catholic cathedral. I almost crapped myself when I woke up that morning. A lot of respect for that Higher Being and I haven't been to a Catholic church in years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_God

Ah, what the hell - I figured I'll just dump the rest of my favorites here:\ “We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is. All outward forms of change brought about by wars, revolutions, reformations, laws and ideologies have failed completely to change the basic nature of man and therefore of society.” Thomas Jefferson "The way to live a long time — oh, a thousand years or more — is something between the way a child does it and the way a mature man does it. Give the future enough thought to be ready for it — but don’t worry about it. Live each day as if you were to die next sunrise. Then face each sunrise as a fresh creation and live for it, joyously. And never think about the past. No regrets, ever.” Robert Heinlein "Markets are living things with bi-polar personalities prone to enormous temper tantrums, but in the end, they always come to their senses.

Rudolph Henkel “So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important.

You should have seen the stuff I saw when my channels finally opened up and that is because they are not officially all open up enough. I remember reading some where that the soul is sort of like a pipe that needs to be cleansed from past karma and boy did I have some past karma. I saw numerous under-worlds, pyramids, the devil on a throne, I saw a pyramid made of skulls, plenty of free masonry stuff. I am not to sure if it was all mine or I was consciously cleansing the karma of others, as I was meditating a lot. My third eye is open for sure. Funny thing is I had a dream this morning concerning the Shakti of a male. I saw it in the dream. The male side of the Only one side was open and was flowing with numerous colors of light. I told him that he needed to embrace his feminine side as well. When I told this other male this, I found my body becoming flush with vibrant energy, a bit of ecstasy to say the least. I found myself meditating in a make shift room with a bunch of random people there. There was some kind of altar with candles and a bald male meditating there as well. There were others meditating as well. I found myself then talking to a white older female about esoteric teachings and about being devoted to the Goddess. When talking to this older female I felt sexualized and a rush of sexual energy flooded my body as well, but I did not feel "HORNY" I felt calm and peaceful. I felt no need to penetrate this older women, I felt acknowledged, loved, and grounded. Taking a look at this beautifully breasted female, you will see both side of energy at play: It is said when the female side is embraced, one can become highly intuitive and physic to the touch. Which can drive a male crazy and can cause some females great depression. Not to sure what the male side does. http://www.yogatantrameditation.com/tantra-meditation-healing/types-of-tantra/kundalini-tantra

My NDE tells me otherwise. Death is a transition. Our consciousness leaves the physical vehicle which then returns to the ground. When you sleep and you dream - everything you experience is created by you. We are not the body. The consciousness returns Home sree. We are not the body. We are not the mind, thoughts, feelings or emotions. The mind is our keyboard - so to speak. The 'person' is the mind, an Illusion. Their is no 'person'. How do you know its not answered! Each individual's Life is unique, their equation is unique. The Source answers all 'prayers' as Life unfolds in its Mysterious Way. We are not as wise as we would like to beLIEve. Everything is perfect because 'it is' what is. Reality. Lying is bad because it is avoiding the truth. Of course I've lied, everyone probably has. We even have a good lie called a 'white lie'. Cute aren't we ! Animals live in a tougher environment than us soft humans sree, they have camouflage for a reason ! Soldiers do too - which tells you a lot about the true nature of war. By the way sree, I'm ex-military. As were my Dad and brothers. I speak from experience. War is for fools. Soldiers are not heroes. See Dr Kissinger for viewpoint on soldiers, not very nice. But 'they' have us policing ourselves and killing people we don't even know ! The dalai lama and the pope just promote the propaganda of their brand of religion - a far cry from the Truth. I have no time for either. My Journey with Cancer is the Truth, not as I saw it sree but as I lived it. And I even have witnesses ! Medical papers too, even photographs of my tumors and polyps. Gruesome my wife calls them, art is what I say ! Want to see my stomach and the scars from surgery ? The peculiar 'tucked' in 4 inch 'hole' ? Or spend 5 hours each night with me as I empty my S Pouch. And sree I wake up each day knowing I may have another battle on my hands, but I adore Life and Dance(for you cat!), sing and laugh at every opportunity. Blessings to All who read this thread - page 30 !!! Wow !!! Who mentioned poker - LOL !!! One card game I've never played for money - only matchsticks with my Dad! Dominoes anyone !!!

Here's what I take into FS consideration (one can get very deep into that or keep it very shallow, with many in-betweens.) Ming gua (personal trigram) orientation. This is the single most important FS factor to consider (if we start inside, that is... of course the orientation of the whole house and the outer landscape features will take precedence, but few people these days start out with getting the larger FS right if they aren't Donald Trump). We all fall into 2 major personal trigram categories, East or West, and for the East group there's four auspicious directions (out of the 8 of the bagua) which, for the West group, are not, and vice versa. E.g., mine are West, Northwest, Southwest, Northeast. Of these, my ideal sleeping direction is Northeast, i.e. with the top of my head pointing in that direction when I'm lying in bed. Not doable in my bedroom, alas. So three remain to choose from (and none of them are North or South or East, mind you, so the "generic" advice of this nature doesn't apply.) Protection against sha' qi. This includes not lining up your head with your toilet (wherever it may be) -- if unavoidable, put some large rocks in between (in front of the toilet), they will break up the sha' of this unlucky feature, at least to an extent. (I believe the expression "shit for brains" came into existence simultaneously with indoor toilets -- the flow of the shit qi into one's head may be what's responsible, at least partially.) No visible mirrors in the bedroom -- qi bounces back and forth between the mirror and whatever it reflects and never settles. My mirrors are in the bathroom and on the inside of a wardrobe door. No lining up your head with the door or the window. Vis a vis the door you must be sleeping in the position from which you can see it unobstructed, otherwise your unconscious mind will be on partial alert throughout the night (it knows that it can't know if someone -- a stranger, an up-to-no-good stranger! -- is coming in while you're sleeping, so it won't relax completely). For the same reason, the bed must not be too high or too low (the unconscious mind reads both positions as insecure.) No tall pieces of furniture at the foot of the bed or anywhere in that direction. This is from the Five Animals rule. You have Snake in the center -- that's where you want to be -- Tiger to the right, Dragon to the left, Turtle in the back, Phoenix in front, and the arrangement of any room follows these rules by imitating these "animals" (types of qi actually) with pieces of furniture "shaping" your room's qi a certain way. So, your Dragon must be higher than your Tiger, your Turtle must be sturdy (that's the headboard in the case of the bedroom -- it has to be solid), and your Phoenix -- that's your dream-body, and it has to be either something very light or nothing at all in that direction, so that your Phoenix has an unobstructed passage to fly into dreaming. It flies out forward and up, sometimes with great impatience (like certain caged birds would the moment you open the cage), and if there's a tall piece of furniture in its way, it can bump into that. (Not terrible for an adult, merely dream-thwarting... but a child with this kind of bedroom arrangement is almost guaranteed to break an arm at some point.) Other sha' avoidance considerations -- overhead beams (must be covered, their qi chops down like a cleaver and the health of any body part under such a beam may suffer), and if you have vaulted ceilings... well, if it was me and I had vaulted ceilings, I'd move. So, FS of the bedroom (like any other) starts with avoiding or neutralizing problems, and then it proceeds to enhancing auspicious qi. I would definitely start with phase 1, and then it's all fun and games.

My understanding is that there isn't anything wrong with any of your thoughts, it is just believing in your thoughts which causes you problems; believing that your thoughts about something are the same thing as the thing itself is the fundamental crux of the dream state most of us are in and trying to wake up from. So from that perspective I think many of the New Age practices are just another way to keep you stuck in the drama of your mind and inevitable confusion, struggle and conflict that creates in you, as they maintain the delusion that you will find what you really want from that realm and it can make you happy. Adyshanti says "There is no such thing as an absolutely True thought, this doesn’t mean that some thoughts are not truer than others, only that no thought is absolutely True" So if that is true and you are interested in reality and the potential peace that brings it might be useful to try see through the illusion that thought creates altogether, rather than go chasing certain thoughts and trying to get rid of others.

Hrmmm. I remember reading a book called Kundalini Rising and I once had a dream where this guru helped me align my chakras, was pretty cool. But in my opinion Kundalini is like any other 'energy source' or cultivation. I never understood the term activation and quite honestly I find it highly stupid to phrase it in that manor. Kundalini seems to have been a Hinduistic/yogic term that was miss translated into English that has seemed to have caused a butt load of confusion. Never the less, if your practicing kundalini or tantra, make sure you get in touch with the Goddess. Whatever pantheon you prefer or feel called to. She may help you sort out any issues/blockages if you are devoted and sincere. Most new agers think kundalini is all about conjuring powers and siddhi's. The Goddess IS NOT impressed by this line of thinking nor does she seek to entitle those who will only use such 'powers' to hurt and oppress others, without being taught a lesson.

or lost in a dream and he become it; either, smiles sailing the sky

I was fully awake. I'd think it's nothing special if it had happened in a dream. I had heard voices before. I had seen stuff through my third eye. I had my body shaking by itself before. But this time, it all happen at once. And the comfortable was very strange. It wrapped around my body so tight that my skin cling around my bones. Have you seen the vacuum food sealer? I thought I was processed in one.

Did you experience them physically or in some astral dream state???

So Hun and Po -- yeah I'm recording Paranormal Witness marathon on SciFi today -- I missed the first half of it but I've never seen this show before - it's dramatic recreations of "eyewitness accounts" of paranormal activity. They actually interview the eyewitness so it seems credible (unless the eyewitnesses are actual actors also). haha. Anyway it's very much like the NDE show I love - "I Survived: Beyond and Back" - forgot about that - if there's been a new series or not. It's produced out of New Zealand though. Anyway so this how so far has had a couple who messed with a Ouja board and called on any spirit to manifestion - a friendly one - but instead some psycho spirit attached to the lady and began attacking the family and doing poltergeists. So the third show on now is this kid who was in jail but then got furlow for his Grandpa's funeral but his grandpa was evil and abused the kid and the kid hated the grandpa and then he got out of jail -- wait now he is going back -- anyway he was staying at a friend's house but this spirit was attacking the house and family with poltergeists and physical abuse. Not sure why he's back in jail - was that whole house stay his attempt to escape jail? He saids he has the power inside him to make it rain! He caused a poltergeist in the house with rain inexplicably falling from the ceiling and walls - and the landlord and his wife even were called over to see it. Anyway so it appears he is possessed by his grandfather's dead spirit - the show is not over. The first episode I saw was this UFO sighted by several different police departments -- and the thing shot off at incredible speed - sounds like the UFO that I saw - the big black triangle equilateral with no fuselage - but none of the cops saw the craft to make out a shape - just the bizarre lights. Anyway so the local military air base denied any activity but of course they would be the main suspects. O.K. so yeah as Gurdjieff says a person needs to create an astral body otherwise when they did they don't actually have an astral body. Instead they have a ghost spirit that stays close to Earth - I have seen these spirits of dead people. So actually when we are alive - without spiritual training - we are actually also already like ghosts or dead people - in a trance state - since ghosts are controlled by their lower emotional attachments - the shen spirit energy is still controlled by the kundalini energy as unconscious attachments. So we live in a lower frequency, lower dimensional dream state that is more materialistic and therefore inherently more destructive - hence all the violence on Earth, etc. I mean violence has a role in balancing life on Earth with predators being fewer in number as the top of the pyramid but then killing off the sick and elderly so that the masses maintain healthier populations without wiping out the plant sources of food. Yeah but what is happening with humans is way beyond our natural role as predators in the Natural balance of life. So Gurdjieff said how the dominant life force on Earth has to first help the Moon grow spiritually before the Earth itself can evolve to become more like a Sun. Life on Earth is governed by the Moon energy -- it is psychic but powered from the emotional energy - it is this yin chi energy -- so there is always shen energy within the jing energy and so there is yin jing energy and yang jing energy. The yang jing is the yin chi energy. Yeah it takes a lot of jing energy to get to the Solar chi energy -- the prenatal vitality -- the shen within the jing energy to fully open up as the kundalini energy. This only happens through the source of the I-thought as the Emptiness meditation -- what I call the female formless awareness. Modern humans - including females - do not live in harmony with ecology because modern humans rely on technology as the answer -- the technofeminism - and so there is a separation of heaven and earth. So modern human culture is all based on male ejaculation and so females are trained to try to get a male to ejaculate and that is supposed to be the secret to love for the female. It sounds crude to say but this is reflected subconsciously also through the technological agenda as just being phallic power. So in feminism it is taught that the emotional energy and sexual energy is repressed by males and then this is projected as disharmony or oppressive energy towards females. This is very true but also the females then try to be like males - and this is technofeminism - why? Because since there are very few really enlightened males then the females never experience real love energy - so that the heart love is rarely really opened up. The heart energy is opened up by the sublimated male energy which is the opposite of the male ejaculation. The male needs to embrace the truth that Nature is female and so the male needs to learn to have the internal female orgasms - called an impersonal eroticism - and this enables the male to not need to ejaculate - and so this enables the energy to keep building up to then increase the number of female orgasms for the female also. The shen energy is a top down approach - it is indirect for the female - but the goal of the female is the internal orgasm. Even in male spirituality this role of the female orgasm is suppressed. As soon as I stopped "flexing" my pineal gland to transmit energy then the females not only got super cranky but they also got sick!! They got so sick and cranky that I got sick from them - they were dragging my energy down!! So trying to rely on male separation from females in order to build up the energy while refusing to transmitting energy to the females to give the females what they want and need - orgasms - then this forces the females to have to sublimate their energy on their own - to learn how to rely on the Female Formless Awareness - instead of relying on males to give them orgasms. Our culture does not understand the connection between orgasms and real heart love but it is through more and more female orgasms that the love energy increases. Instead our culture is based on male ejaculation as being the real goal - this is never directly stated but it is the focus of the culture being increasingly pornographic. So it is a sick evil culture since male ejaculation is based on increasing stress hormones - it is the psychophysiology of evil - this belief in infinite male ejaculation - which is a positive feedback cycle of using up the energy of Mother Nature -- raping and pillaging Nature and humanity as a whole. So the females go around trying to get males to ejaculate - thinking this is female liberation to have "better" male ejaculations by having better male sex - but actually the females are trying to be more like males by doing this!! So this energy is actually "yin chi" energy -- it is actually the ETHERIC travel - not real astral travel - it is still the HUN soul energy because it is still based on the lower emotions. I was told I would need to fully open up the 2nd chakra to move beyond this area - but that also requires fully opening up the third eye. It is very difficult since it requires a ton of jing energy to be stored up in order to fully open up the third eye. If you study the book Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality - it's all based on male celibacy. So any loss of energy means having to start over -- essentially. A certain threshold has to be obtained for a new trajectory - a quality change from the quantity change. It is explained by Chaos Theory - called a "bifurcation point" and that's why it's alchemical. Unless that amount of yin chi energy is built up internally in the lower tan tien then the "bifurcation point" is never achieved to start opening up the third eye through the real kundalini or yang chi energy. Yeah I achieved that level for just a few weeks - the energy was too strong -- people around me were freaking out - I was told I should have called Chunyi Lin. haha. I stopped practicing and then my energy channels closed up. But the main thing I noticed is that I had turned into a "chick magnet" and so after that whenever I tried to build up energy again then either the pervs or the females would chase after me. As I was told -- it is very difficult to train in the city. So there is the issue of "ghost pollution" and I would say this also possesses people to be stuck in their lower emotions - and so an exorcism is necessary. Like qigong master Jim Nance telling me about my dad - that was a type of exorcism of me. So modern humanity is essentially possessed by all the ghosts of all the wars, etc. and so there needs to be some sort of mass exorcism of life on Earth.

Yes I'm glad you recognize that state Tolle is in, it's a great indicator of a true teacher, the only other 2 people I've found in youtube videos who express that state are Papaji and Isaac Shapiro. Both seem like they are in ecstacy at times, laugh inappropriately, and are channeling a freaking river of blissenergy out their skulls. Papaji passed on, he had a number of teachers who claim lineage but he never really announced a true successor. Mr. Shapiro was his student and authorized him to teach. He flies from Australia to Germany and occaisonally California for satsang. His teachings are wholly tied to being present in the Now and not thinking, like Tolle and Papaji. These people do not seem to be able to plan for the future anymore, the energy is everything, I think it is addicting and they constantly feel like they are rolling on MDMA (you said you haven't done drugs, but the blissed state is the same, but not dirty or stimulating). For full disclosure, psychedelics in my teens (an LSD overdose) I think prompted my root chakra activation. After many false heatattacks from heart chakra pain, and partial paralysis from K gone amok, I rebooted my whole energy system with a mushroom overdose, which blasted my heart chakra open, ripped through my skull, and permanently changed me. The kundalini never stops from its progression from tailbone to crown now and I feel like I'm finely vibrating all the time. I rarely sleep because of the supercharged feeling, and fear of my condition oscillates the width of my heart chakra. The bliss energy radiant Love now-ness want to charge out my heart and erase my ego but I'm afraid to let it, and it's a struggle to maintain enough fear to maintain a mind able to function in a Fear-based society, with units of currency as $ecurity from starvation and homelessness. If you let the bliss take over like Papaji and Tolle you have to give control of your life away, you will be dependant on your friends or relatives to keep a roof over your head as Religion and Love and God is all you can think about, talk about, and do. Love is the energy of consciousness, and fear is what your mind is made of. Every thought is a plan for the future based on discontent of the present. The big question then is that the point of it all, to get into that state? You will become like a babe in an adult world, having no fear only Love. I think Tolle, Papaji, Mr. Shapiro, and others like them have handlers to keep their body safe while they are trapped/released into the permanent Now. I'm constantly tettering on the edge and I have no one to help me, my wife needs to retire, I have child support, I barely make rent as it is. Where I'm at now is trying to see how much Love I can live in without being erased, and stopping when it imapairs my job performance. I'll probably start playing the lottery or writing a book, I don't know if I'll every be able to focus enough to get a degree now in the state I'm in. Regarding the microcosmic orbit, I haven't tried it it seemed esoteric without having a live teacher and I'd already recklessly modified my energy permanentlly by use of serotonergics. (the blissed out state isn't dopamine and water, it's serotonin) If I don't find a way to sleep properly soon I plan to go the SFQ route (sorry Dorian!) as pythagoreanFL seems to know a number of people with roaring rivers of energy who can still function. Or I may just focus entirely on metta meditation like a wise poster suggested and entirely let go. One side effect of overactive K is physical reality seems less and less real, at this point I think its just a more static, heavy version of the dreamworld. Spirits arrange tests there and here just the same, synchronicity never stops and everything measures the mettle of your heart. Papaji taught everything is a dream your mind creates, but was confused why the world didn't dissappear when he awakened. I think now the dream and waking world are a testing ground for teaching empathy through suggestion and force, and when you are cured of your egoity you are let free. I think theres a cosmic society on the Outside of Dream and Waking where everyone is enlightenened and here is where those sick with fear of Love are sent. When we are cured we will be let out, and our dream guides watch our progress. Neo-Platonicism suggests something of this, I think the Demiurge/Archons may be our therapists. The writings above are what kundalini run wild will produce. Religion constantly charges through your mind and daily financial requirements, household maintenance, and future planning go out the window. With the V-shaped field above your head I think your crown is cracking and the energy will be extremely apparent in the near future. I have the electricity feeling in my teeth as well, and regarding the complexion question, I'm in my mid thirties and look like I'm in my late teens/early 20's, but I'm a health nut and take alot of antioxidants and eat a paleo-pescetarian diet and get practically no sun. Regarding the colors, shapes, entities question your dreams will get unbelievable and their character-caliber testing nature will be very obvious, you will get lots of Astral attention. Your synchronicity will get unbelievably frequent till you doubt your sanity, and what I've noticed recently is people who are "compromised" (entirely fear driven, ego-based) will try very hard to upset your equilibrium, I call the anger tests. People like these I think are easily possessed by the sentient Fear energy, it will go to unbelievable lengths to try and stop the outpouring of Love coming through you. Also you will be pulled into other peoples synchronicty and will find yourself a suprised player in their karmic evolution. I haven't had visions, I don't hear voices, and I don't hallucinate. Also the bliss doesn't take over unless you let it, but if you don't you will feel constant heavy pressure in your chest. These are my honest experiences and revelations I have experienced, I kind of expect to get attacked here after being so honest and I don't want to have to defend every insight I've been given but if thats the will of the spirits so be it. I wish you nothing but the best CM, the road ahead of you is VERY rocky and rarely travelled, be careful what advice you listen to (including mine, I've been wrong before) unless you feel in your heart it is valid. Many people will talk about knowing all about this energy but they never seem to mention the world-rocking ego-shattering brink-of-madness effects it creates. There is a site kundalini.se which seems pretty solid, I'd recommend checking that out for more advice. Also feel free to PM me anytime for advice when the going gets rough. I don't have all the answers but I'm about 2 years ahead of you in the enfolding/outpouring stage and I know how lonely it can be.
