I'd like to give a couple points here shared by some students who messaged me anonymously with their views on dream work and questions too. Sifu Terry also gave a very specific clarification as well. Starting with Sifu Terry's point on dreaming and Flying Phoenix: "Consciously doing a dream practice while in FPCK practice AND CONSCIOUSLY BLENDING IN A DREAMSTATE INTO FP consciousness is not wise. FPCK is complete and sufficient." He will clarify this, but one takeaway I see from this statement is to not do dreaming practices while in the midst of FPCK meditations. I keep my own Shuigong practice separate from FP and have been doing dream practice before learning FP, and find that it improves because of FPCK. How it has worked for me personally (and I do not endorse it for others) is that dreamwork, dreamwalking, lucid dreaming--all of it can tire you out a lot because of the mental strain associated with it. The more the mind tenses, the more exhausted we get. With FPCK, the mind expands and is relaxed, and in a more relaxed state, the flow of the dream state is easier to navigate. This is the difference between rowing your galleon ship on quicksand and on water. Another comment from an anonymous FPCK student who chimed in said the following: The Chinese tradition calls mind Xin, which is often more literally translated as Heart-mind. Even though the mind itself is shapeless and unbound and the physical heart not, all the valid religious traditions in the world eventually aim for the _purification of the heart_ which they often explicitly spell out. Purifying the mind and heart are exactly the same things: the heart is the emperor organ that controls our emotional responses which in turn are our primitive thought patterns. Almost all of our thoughts are in response to emotional stirrings as you may well observe. Some are very subtle, which is why total karmic cleansing can be hard work depending on the spiritual methods utilized -- wrathful tantric practices are especially meant for provoking these subtle defilements to surface, hence transforming desires via tantra is a quick path. A completely peaceful and restful heart experiences no emergence of karmic desires such as lust, greed, hate, pride, and fear. This is also why practicing and perfecting De is enough and absolutely mandatory for complete enlightenment as proven by Confucius and other sages throughout the world who encouraged moral perfection. When the Heart-mind remains calm because of correct view or meditation, it experiences no outflows or attachments to the Desire Realm (i.e. manifesting karmic desires), hence it simply cannot lose any vitality. Loss of vitality is always and exclusively because of desiring that springs from an unsilent heart, and the Daoist tradition says this loss happens through the bodily orifices to satisfy various desires. As such, the argument of Antares and Daode school can be an insidious half-truth: it lacks nuance. Lucid dreaming can be very beneficial if you are calm and ethical with it, and then it will work for karmic purification as any other conscious activity in "waking" life. Flying Phoenix should work extremely well towards this end because its energy is inherently calming and rejects unethical behavior. I share this above quote with as much respect to Antares and the anonymous comment from the above student and remind everyone that with all of our experiences and personal journeys, ultimately, the buck stops here with Sifu Terry, who will reply shortly after this weekend.

As far as I have learnt, we dream because all of our body "layers" do not live in the same place. The time when we stop dreaming, is when we are fully integrated into one body. This is not something that someone at my level of consciousness can achieve by merely willing it. People like me still dream because we need to get to know ourselves through our different dimensional existences and our waking life doesn't reveal some of these useful facets of ourselves. I have learnt that these "bodies" keep doing what they are doing, regardless of where our frontal brain is active. In dreaming, like in any non-ordinary reality setting (like "astral projection"), the main consciousness simply shifts to get a glimpse of what the other selves are doing, which can be useful for growth. When we wake up, the self that is in the dream dimension continues to go about its life. We can't stop that body from carrying on its business until we integrate it into our "main life". So dreaming is not a verb as much as it is a condition/location/dimension/body. What stops us from dreaming is bringing every part of ourselves under the control of our frontal brain. It happens spontaneously as a natural by-product of spiritual evolution, this evolution being what we may have a degree of control over.

I am not sure why practitioners should avoid advanced dream practice as another style I practice, Sleeping Qigong from Nan Yun, is openly taught but rare. Sifu Terry himself says FP practitioners are known to have more lucid dreams and better sleep, so I am not sure I understand what you’re saying or what reasoning behind it is.

Because there are so many Taoist gods so people think that Taoism is a religion; in fact, those gods are originally humans , it is only because they can refine their qi into Shen , which appear to people as supernatural abilities , that they then become gods and worshiped . Besides, the time duration of these gods' life stretched once Shen is attained , so they live very long ,even forever, therefore people also call them "immortals" . As a saying tells us : "What is called Shen is something not entangled by yin and yang"("陰陽不測謂之神") ,and beause the balance and struggle between yin and yang implies change, which also means time ,so Shen is also changes-proof and time-proof . "Religious " Taoism gives philosophers unlimited energy , wisdom and forever life that hardly can they think of , dream of.

alright. pros: >enhanced dreams, lucid, vivid, inception style >dreams that are all black but still have things happening (this is called something in one practice but I forget what it is. I found it later in a book on dream yoga) - happened to me but may not happen to everyone >enhanced awareness of what you're doing to your own body >getting a look at your subconscious in a very mechanic way >faster self-progression, enhancements to the energetic system even when not using the techs >got better at breathing >increased manual control of bioelectricity (nervous system) >electrical disturbances >more logical thinking and reading of other people's emotions >more visceral experience >I feel like I own the body I reside in more than I did before starting it. I can radically shift what i'm feeling emotionally, chemically, and sensationally with very little effort, but it isn't loose enough to where it is troublesome. >insanely strong with celibacy >gets the body hot. good for the dantian things I didn't like: >some of things which may have had a practical truth were written in ways which I did not interpret well, or rather, were abused by my subconscious. one man's woo is no more sane than anyone else's just because it's more logical woo. I prefer things in gross technical physical terms. this is why personally, I enjoy the techs, but find that having no philosophy is the best thought system warnings: take the warnings seriously. use what works for you.

why limit yourself to this one world all possibilities are endless but I will say, one of my goals has been to be able to go IN while the outside functions. compress time by slipping inside the body. like when you spend weeks in a dream over an 8 hour period of time. I imagine this isn't too unfeasible, but maybe not quite worth how much work it would take. however, if one could successfully do this, the end goal would have been accomplished instead of going UP, into this world's higher field, going IN to your own inner field. it would just require the body to be comfortable with you "disappearing."

Liked ya post spec the bit : " Fortunately, I don't believe everything I think. I do still like to play with thinking a bit though." maybe I am the opposite ; I have a range of beliefs, but I dont assert them as 'what I THINK ... to be 'true' . Eg, 'religious beliefs and afterlife' I aspire to my indigenous shamanic beliefs ....now, at this stage of my life . But if someone asked me what I THINK will happen when I die ? : dunno .... I might express what I 'hope' or have 'come to realise as possible' or even state some 'facts' - qualified by my 'wants' - like retuning my composing elements to 'M other' ( nature ) . But maybe we are saying the same thing ? I am pretty sure we are both NOT the type to think our own beliefs thoughts facts and reality are all the same thing and that is 'just how it is' , with no awareness of the processes of how we ended up with that view of 'reality' Obviously I spent far to long here today ..... but Dream Bliss ... I like that little fox .... I will check your stuff out later ... in the meantime ; enjoy I used to do it with water droplets in my Tibetan singing bowl .

Ok in that case I have accept that a dragon is simply a big fat two feet walking alligator holding giant spoon filled with ember to manually pick children hiding under the bed, one after the other, to sit on the giant spoon of ember. And lock the gates after lighting up the giant kettle of boiling water. Because that was my dream as kid. I had to cringe at how weird the dream was after I woke up. Because the alligator human seemed very happy. He was hungry obviously. As kid you only understand the happiness and so you think it's all gonna be alright. So weird as it may seem. The alligator made the giant metal spoon of fire seem attractive to sit on. He was really looking at it like it was the best thing ever when a child decided to sit on it. It's so messed up, that I was dreaming of cannibalism even while younger than 6. But in the case of having no choice, don't you think god would allow you to look at it as a good thing? So you don't have see the bad aspect of it. Because the truth still remains, he enjoyed eating children. So I say, let everyone have what they want. Let god bring them what they want. Who also wants to be wanted. No lion wants to eat a meal that fights with every chew. What do you think happens when the lion catches an impalla? The impalla falls in love and surrenders because the lion grabs by the neck and knows how to surrender the soul back into physical withdrawal. So that it can see the appreciation of the lion that is now receiving the food. As God eating itself, only both are viewing the angle of the lion. So losing consciousness by the neck. I still don't understand what the purpose was of sitting on the ember. Ah well, im not a dragon. Who cares. Guess I survived the dream. Otherwise, bon appetite monsieur! Would you like to have some salt and pepper with that monsieur?!

What does it mean when someone says to you that their greatest dream is to ride on a dragon? That's actually an honest question I've had for a long time. Like I think I am always confused because everyone has a different perspective of what a dragon is actually reffering to. For example This is the complete opposite of an asian dragon, I think.

Side note: I have always had spontaneous memories of long-forgotten dreams (sometimes after as much as 30+ years or even childhood), during my normal waking state. Yesterday, I had such a recollection, but to my surprise, I went from one to another successively, finding myself in from 6 to 10 different dream scenes. It was great to find again all these dream locations, that had escaped my waking memory. I really enjoyed the travelling and the scenery. Now I won't forget them anymore. Funny, they all had the same "feel" and "look". As if they happened in the same "dream world", even "dream province", I daresay the exact same location, but different parts, even though one was a block of flats, the other a market, yet another a shopping mall etc. I recognised the link by road because some shared the same routes. I repeat, this was in normal consciousness. I attribute this to FPCK. It never happened to me before.

I have begun practicing The Yoga of Dream and sleep which works out well as I have a split sleep schedule due to the difference in hours I work versus those of my lady. If I get a few hours sleep after work I can be awake and spend time with her at night till around midnight or 1 at the latest then fall asleep and get up at 6 and go to work. This way I can do my BON practices as listed above and to make it all better they are a part of the Yoga of Sleep and Dreams. In the last few weeks I have been experiencing a great deal of pain from the death of my Mentor a friend I have known for 32 years since I was 17 years old. We were very close he was like my father. When the emotions and pain ride high Kriya practice becomes impossible. Kriya is primarily about Cleansing the Nadis, Chakras and central channel and using the triple divine qualities to take the mind into deep absorption but there is a problem here. The heart chakra is the place for pain where pain of the mind collects this is where it is held. Having a heightened awareness of the subtle body from and by the practice of Kriya without the tools to heal from loss and pain makes things much, much worse. The heart center is very important but is also a center that takes a long time to clear and fully mature. So Energizing the heart center and cleansing it with Kriya practice is not so good during difficult times. Cleansing has it's place but not with raw, recent, new trauma all it does is magnify it and cause it to multiply. With the multiplication of pain the multiplication of thoughts. Even when the thoughts are not verbal but felt thoughts. I have made a few posts on the bums here recently and was seeking advice on how to deal with this. Last night I was looking for a different video by TWR and instead came immediately to his talk on turning pain into the path. Once again I am astounded by the wisdom of this Lama and would like to share this video with you all, watching this is very liable to change your life. It is changing mine. Something very important he said was : One can not clean blood off of ones hand with a blooded hand. If you try to clean blood off of your hands by using blood you will never be clean of blood. If it is your goal to replace the first blood with the second blood then you will succeed. In this case you are replacing a thought with a thought and this is not the way through pain. I think I will continue to share insights of this video and other teachings of his so I can continue to work things out and maybe we can understand better together?

The Tibetan Yogas of dream and sleep by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, a lama in the Bön tradition of Tibet This book gives detailed instruction for dream yoga, including foundational practices done during the day. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OHK2QK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You are speaking of such a small truth. It's not even that this universe isn't capable of remembering that truth. It's just that the truth is so much bigger than that. The universe cannot even attempt to become less than all that it has become. The reason you live a better life as an assassin, is because you release resistance, to the greater truth, by killing someone. The reason you release resistance, is because you naturally don't like killing someone. So when you do, you let go of resistance. And then you are free. That freedom does not require killing. It's just a conditional permission slip that you use. Now, if you realise, that you don't have to kill someone, in order to accept that life and death are insignificant to the greater truth of who you are, you no longer have to explore the temporary illusions. And come back home to your eternal realisation. That doesn't require you to change anything. Then you can do the thing you actually intended to do here in this life. You simply allow the change, that is always gonna happen anyway. Like, yeah, I'm always gonna be killing someone. So what? What has that got to do with anything? The people you kill are going to die anyway. I assure you, assassin is not actual terminology to describe a human being. When you realisethe eternal nature of the people you kill, then will you wake up to the fact that you cannot kill another human being. You actually never have killed anyone. You only think that you did, because your memory tells you that. But that doesn't make it the truth. It is only truth, when you focus upon it. And thereby insisting that it remains your truth. There's nothing wrong with that. We all do it. It is natural. But eventually, you will always want to learn the greater truth. Which is that the people you kill are only ever those that you love the most. It has always been this way. We simply do it because we can. That is what makes people rebell and outrage. So that they can find comfort again. That it's ok, even if you did kill someone. That doesn't make you any less innocent. Not even a little bit. You woulden't even feel inclined to kill, because there's nothing special at all about killing! Infact, every death is a suicide. If you haven't realised that by now, then you will one day. So you are actually giving everyone your power, not taking it away. That's just hilarious, especially if a soul withdraws it's consciousness from their physical body. They just come back, because it's so insignificant in the bigger scheme of things. Sex and violence truely is as normal as a handshake. Nothing more and nothing less. If you go running around feeling extatic shaking hands with everyone, well...? Eventually you'll grow up, and be like, ok let's explore life a bit further maybe shall we? Why not try and build a relationship with someone. Isn't that more scary and exciting?! Because, you have to realise, relationships are eternal. If you think a relationship, any relationship, is not special, then you haven't had a relationship yet. It will forever change who you are. And if you express your authentic self, completely naked, to another, it will forever change who they are. By allowing yourself to be who it is you truely are, you tell the universe, I am ready to remember again who I am. I am ready to know again who I am and who everyone is. Who I am not. You need the other in order to define who you are. And that vulnerability does not make you weak. It makes you infinitely and eternally powerfull. You need to allow your mind to dream, beyond death. Because death is such a meaningless concept, you will get confused in that idea. You have to understand there is only life and more life. So if you are atleast willing to begin with the life that is you, then you don't have to co-create with the idea of death, because your life will show and teach you and guide you to ALL THE MORE LIFE THAT IS ALL OF EXISTANCE AND YOU CONTAIN ALL OF IT ALREADY ALWAYS RIGHT HERE AND NOW! You never go anywhere when you die. This is all you. You're literally killing yourself for the point of exploring a different perspective of yourself. And if you want to remember all of it, then you might wanna stop dismembering all of it. Get my point? It's really an easy point to make isn't it? I suggest you take hostages once in a while. Just for fun, and if you don't like it, you can always resort back to killing them if you wish. But really just try it out, for once atleast. What have you got lose. Am I right? It's not like you're afraid of it, are you? Especially if you're an assassin. All the more reason to do it.

Lucid dreaming is just for the purpose of releasing resistance to your true eternal nature, and accepting that you're going to die, makes sleeping very easy. Because once you accept you are going to die, you are much more willing to let go of your insistence of being physical primarily, which means, you are literally saying to your soul, I want to re-align with you, I'm ready, show me what stands in my way. Show me my energy. Which makes dying and sleeping easy, and thus you can start allowing yourself to remember who it is you truely are as a greater non-physical consciousness which is eternal. Even while being fully awake in this physical time-space reality dream. so in a sense, accepting you are going to die, is the only way for you to realise that there is no death. Thus potentially, you can allow yourself to explore this physical time-space reality in a way that works for you, without ever needing to sleep in order to allow yourself to be fully rejuvinated and re-vitalized. But sleep will always be a great source of releasing resistance to your actual true nature. Yet, it does not allow the benefit of conscious recognition of ones true nature. Where as meditation, and "lucid dreaming" is a more fully consciously allowed connection to ones true nature. And meditation being by far the greater foundational practice, as lucid dreaming is only a byproduct of meditation, which I'm sure you will realize, if you haven't done so already.

nope, just finding 6 books and putting them stacked in 3's under the head of the bed. Couldn't be simpler. I did it to relieve nose congestion and help with any acid reflux problems. Not a powerful solution, but its so easy to implement that it seems like a no brainer. Except for my wife who doesn't like the look, thus for our new bed I need to find a commercial solution, which I'm sure is out there. Pilgrim> Recently I decided to do something about all my lucid dreaming and started learning about The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep from TWR https://www.amazon.com/Tibetan-Yogas-Dream-Sleep-ebook/dp/B006OHK2QK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=yoga+sleep+bon&qid=1552494091&s=gateway&sr=8-1 I purchased the Kindle version and the audiobook for when I am driving. They are perfect companion pieces as we already have the paperback book. me> I think I have that book. I have a bunch of books on Lucid Dreaming with limited success. When I work on it, which is for a few months every other year, it tends to make my insomnia worse. An interesting project I had here was group Lucid Dreaming using Lillian Edens guided meditation on Shared Dreaming. Again not great results, but I think the weakest link in the small group was me. There's write up thread on it in my PPD.

I'll bet the work out helped. You might want to look into what I describe below. Recently I decided to do something about all my lucid dreaming and started learning about The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep from TWR https://www.amazon.com/Tibetan-Yogas-Dream-Sleep-ebook/dp/B006OHK2QK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=yoga+sleep+bon&qid=1552494091&s=gateway&sr=8-1 I purchased the Kindle version and the audiobook for when I am driving. They are perfect companion pieces as we already have the paperback book. Since I began learning sleep is much improved and I have learned allot about the nature of sleep and how it directly correlates to death as I always thought it did. This book is a magnificent masterpiece of instruction and actual techniques.

One more thing though the rings are beautiful it is entering the "Cosmic Womb the Black Orb" through the 5 pointed thin white star the Cosmic Orifice of the Cosmic Cervix that is important. When you enter the womb you experience what is growing there and it is being inside of a entirely different dimension and Universe and there is a God growing in there or I suppose what could be called a Buddha. In my case the God was a male figure in his mid to late 30's That Buddha is you. Your true self and when you realize this you are astounded because you realize the part of you that is in this world this earth realm typing is a fragment of your own totality returning home and you are not only non duel in this awareness but duel at the same time and both the returning fragment and the whole are of one mind so there is no duality. What is thought by one also plays in the mind of the other as a mirror. You are pleased and comfortable to be here and you are being welcomed to remain or return but if you remain the body life is over, your body will asphyxiate because this is a deep form of Samadhi where the breathing is not happening. Trying to explain this by necessity creates a paradox of words. This is not the same as Mahasamadhi where there is no heart beat. That is different and on the way back from absolute absorption one experiences Rigpa. I have been trying to describe this for years. Yesterday I heard Rigpa explained by Marcy Vaughn in TWR'S audio book of The Tibetan Yogas Of Dream And Sleep https://www.amazon.com/Tibetan-Yogas-Dream-Sleep/dp/1559391014 As she was describing Rigpa I was shocked and said Oh yes I know exactly what she is talking about. Sorry OP this has drifted a bit more....

Put your mind on autopilot. To ensure the success of their mission and the safety of their team, Special Forces need to be constantly in the present, even in the most trying situations. The best way to do this is to “switch” your mind to autopilot, focusing intently on the present and only the present. Don’t be concerned with what happened in the past or what the future could bring — you must live exclusively in the present. Focus on your surroundings, doing your job well, helping your team, and let go of everything you can’t control. Going on autopilot will help you succeed, regardless of the nature of the challenge in front of you. This sounds a lot like buddhist teachings. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, not to anticipate the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

This is my way of seeing it too. It has to do with the fact that we are 99.9999999% not here. The .0000001% remainder are the mass of the protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, neutrinos spinning. The rest of the atom is space. And the components of the atom is being broken down further. As our instruments get bigger and smarter, I'm guessing that the end realization will be that we are nothing but the dream of the One Intelligence. Without the spinning action of the atomic components (or the solar system, for that matter) we wouldn't be here at all. I read recently where the scientists involved with the Hadron Collider have found that some atomic components, when split, actually bend time by splitting into the past! So much we don't know.

Yes you can start with math professor Luigi Borzacchini's published article on the music origins of western math. https://sci-hub.tw/10.1007/s00407-007-0125-0 So I first got a reply from him back in 2001 - when I had a dream of a music-math equation and I mailed it to him in Italy - it was scribbled down. He mailed me back stating my math was "good" but I had no "historical proof" that the equation was used. So I contacted him based on his postings on an academic math forum and it was that research in 1999 that eventually got published in 2007, as above. So he goes into the cognitive bias of Western science - something we all get "hard-wired" into from early math by age 14 with the Pythagorean Theorem. So then around 2004 I discovered Fields math professor Alain Connes stating that music theory could provide the formal language for his new noncommutative unified field science. So I was not sure if he was being just "metaphorical" since science often relies on music theory as a model - for example Newton directly got his inverse square law from music theory. So I then discovered Connes has a music theory lecture on youtube - and as he explains in his math publications - there are lots of examples of noncommutative math models but music theory provides the foundation to understand this noncommutative phase logic. So I have quotes about the music theory part of his talk - on my blog at http://elixirfield.blogspot.com So at this point I had been calling my research on these "ratios" as you call them - I called it "complementary opposite ratios" and I had several articles published about how these "complementary opposite ratios" are actually NOT the same was Western math. So this is what Alain Connes is stating as well - only he calls the "complementary opposite ratios" as "noncommutative phase" logic. OK so already on my own - I studied music theory intensely from piano lessons starting at 5 years old and then taking music theory class from my music teacher. Then her husband was a former University music professor so he taught me also orchestration and ear training and composition and music theory - privately. So Connes makes the comparison to orchestration - and this was something I could understand viscerally as I had done that training (to transpose multiple different spacetime clefs at the same time). OK so on my own research I had rejected the symmetric commutative Western tuning but then I realized that Daoist qigong was based on the "orthodox" Pythagorean music tuning - what I had been calling "complementary opposite ratios." So I had several articles published about this around 2006 and 2007, 2008. So one of my research articles - it is no longer "free" - it's posted on Amazon as a $1 e-book. https://www.amazon.com/Do-Ohm-Up-Yin-Yang-Spiritual-Training-ebook/dp/B012Z45TR2 I don't have an e-reader. So that was a kind of final summary of the music theory. But you can find me debating lots of people on this topic - over at Abovetopsecret. http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread807082/pg1 and my articles published https://www.mind-energy.net/archives/151-The-Secret-of-Psychic-Music-Healing.html and https://www.mind-energy.net/archives/264-against-archytas-how-the-west-lost-alchemy-or-paranormal-complimentary-opposite-harmonics.html and http://www.soundofstars.org/brainnews.htm is someone giving excerpts. I also had free books published: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/attachments/the-moan-zone/279031d1330198691-retune-your-music-444-old-tuning-standard-alchemy-rainbow-heart-music.pdf So that has 725 scholarly footnotes. http://www.viewzone.com/spiritualhealing.html That's a 2 part article. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/naturalresonancerevolution These books are all "full free preview." OK so all that material was BEFORE I had seen the above Alain Connes lecture that crystallized the noncommutative phase connection to the music theory - thereby corroborating my "complementary opposite ratios" claims. So then I made the connection that the "three gunas" of India were also based on the same noncommutative phase secret of Daoist and Pythagorean nonwestern music harmonics. https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-three-gunas-in-daoism-yes-via.html and https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-three-gunas-of-no-guna-as-secret-of.html You have to scroll down a lot to get to the blog post. a Daoist alchemy scholar Pregadio on Neidan: http://ecoechoinvasives.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-blue-light-of-blues-music-ii.html another article So then on the connection to rhythm: https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/06/what-makes-humans-special-human-paradox.html https://ecoechoinvasives.blogspot.com/2018/03/west-african-sumerian-connections-as-32.html So it turns out one of my early sources from high school remained very important - this was the quantum physicist Sir James Jeans - his book "Science and Music." https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/06/why-hertz-hurtz-as-ditonic-comma-lie.html https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/06/daoist-harmonics-has-same-2-hertz.html https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/04/daoist-harmonics-is-there-idiotsdummys.html https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/04/why-is-23-not-yin-and-why-do-we-need-to.html https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/04/whats-43-got-to-do-with-3-not-going.html https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/04/why-do-people-enjoy-false-music-asks.html https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/04/is-there-right-and-wrong-in-music.html https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/06/daoist-harmonics-has-same-2-hertz.html So based on this noncommutative phase secret of music theory - then I was able to mathematically disprove the "Comma of Pythagoras" - despite it still being on Wikipedia, etc.

The Bon Tradition is a very rich tradition who's practices I find great value in, for those of you who practice in the Bon tradition which are your favorite practices and why? I find the following essential and indispensable 1.The nine breaths of purification: This can of course be done for many many rounds and in my experience is very refreshing and does help clear the Lung and the mind and the emotions making them more stable. 2. Tsa Lung: This practice helps circulate the lung in the body and really helps re-energize and clear blockages as well as clear out stagnated lung. This also further clears and calms the mind 3.Guru Yoga: Guru Yoga is such a beautiful loving heart experience and even though I learned of Tapihritsa and Shenla Odkar almost at the same time I favor the connection with Tapihritsa. Tapihritsa resonates best with me as a closely felt heart love connection that brings tears of joy and deep gratitude to my eyes that goes beyond just respect. In this practice Ah, OM, Hung, White, Red & Blue lights connect at Crown, Throat & Heart Chakras. Body, Speech & Mind we connect to the lineage through the guru of the lineage. This to me is very important because the guru introduces us to Buddha so the guru is very important. We connect to the attributes of the guru and not only get purification but our mind via induction aligns and become more like the mind of the guru thereby helping us to perceive the Buddha. I have some experience of tummo described in another thread but find the basic first version I learned to be best as the book learning just added complexity to what I was gifted and without direct teaching not as good. Due to years of Lucid dreaming and it growing ever stronger I have begun learning dream yoga of the Bon Tradition. I welcome a constructive dialogue and am eager to learn from the more experienced in this tradition thank you for taking the time to read these words.

To me it means the following. 1. As Human Beings we experience only a portion of what there is via limited sense organs therefore all data received is incomplete and full of illusion, delusion and error therefore there can not be any absolute knowing by reason or the senses. To further complicate this everything is filtered through the conditioning of the mind which is influenced by culture , gender, cast color and creed. We have shared similarities, commonalities but my experience of life is much different than yours. Both are equally illusory and the realm itself is only partly perceived in a very minute way. 2. The world of waking life like the world of sleeping and dreaming life are equally dream worlds. 3. We the dreamers through group karma inhabit the same realm and are governed by the laws of said realm even though both waking and dreaming are equally dreams if you walk off of a building in the waking dream realm you will not fly, you will fall and become hurt and or die transition out of the waking realm.

good movie "they come to be woken, their dream has become their reality"

Say you're the only person sitting in the front row of a movie theater. The movie that is playing is Your Life in real time. YOU are the watcher. The movie is the dream.

The world is Brahman's dream... And you are helping him dream it, since you are a part of Brahman. However, while you are dreaming, the dream is real enough to you! I hope that makes sense...
