ChiForce Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Here is what usually happens when your cultivate your I assure you that my big will have a whole chapter on the use of entheogens in the use of spiritual cultivation, and I will discuss my own experience from them. If you assume that a great percentage of my knowledge is from the use of drugs, you are of course incorrect. Most of my knowledge comes from research, from questioning Shakti, and from long drawn out hours of contemplation on all the issues I will discuss, which were for the most part done while straight. If I learned anything special while on drugs, I honor that knowledge as the equal of any knowledge gained not on drugs. I always test knowledge that I gain through any method over and over again. Yeah, but the question is that can YOU cultivate your mind without drugs!!!! That's the whole point. Once your mind is refined enough by contemplating the nature of phenomena and its emptiness, you will experience the chi channel opening as well as various kundalini experiences. If you use drugs to promote these experiences and CAN'T cultivate without them, you mind isn't refined at all or even remotely cultivated. You are just fooling yourself with your "book."

Songtsan Posted July 7, 2013 I went 10 years straight without using entheogens for spiritual practice and gained much wisdom and experience, cultivated quite nicely actually, experienced extremely high levels of shambavi mudra, 1st jhana, and various perception attainments, including being able to move chi anywhere in my body with only half-assed focus. I already experience everything kundalini related without drugs including spontaneous movements upon demand, and amrita nectar production. Also I possess various autonomic control abilities, including dramatic slowing of heart rate, and the ability to lower blood pressure. I also have good control over the perception states of my homunculus, able to feel as big as the universe and small as an insect...I don't need drugs at all in fact, and never have, i simply enjoy exploring with them. Also, I have finished my dabbling in entheogens for a long while. See this is one of the reasons I am leaving the board, everything I say gets questioned and double questioned, and I waste so much time trying to explain to people who assume so much about me from limited data. I already told you that I am very confident in all my positions by now, and that I consider myself ready to write this book. Doubters doubt. You are being the doubt, do not forget that.

I come to the conclusion there aren't that many forms of enlightenment paths one can follow. Would he be the Pratyekabuddha? I believe people living in the modern age would more or less follow this path. http://thetaobums.com/topic/29276-pratyekabuddha/ Hinayana? That's in the realm of arhatship and would require one to become a monk and to be well versed in the Buddhist scriptures. Mahayana? Probably the most difficult path to follow.

Songtsan Posted July 10, 2013 “No dude its not realistic , its negative and a bummer. Songstans experience probably has something to d with what he related, I dont care to speculate much on that.” -You are so very perceptive! Mr. Stosh Yes, I was rejected so much in my life, that in combination with my penchant for explosive emotional angst, I have become ingrained with habits of super rejecting others whenever faced with rejection- not always from the get-go, but when I reach the point of no return, things get ugly– to the point of utterly destroying my relationships on a whim. Generally when initially faced with rejection, I plead for sanity from the rejecters “Please, just try to take on another point of view – see me as worthwhile.” When they refuse, pretty soon I turn on my own rejection mask, and open that can of whoop ass! You should have seen what prison was like for me. I am lucky I wasn’t shanked. The thing is I enjoy it on some level, in a sadomasochistic type of way. I am a real good rejecter now! I can blast holes in the ozone layer with my ninja skills. I do not even want to try to make friends with someone who cannot accept me in all my wicked ways, their perceptions of me as wicked that is – personally I like my wicked self better than I like others faux-saintly selves – it is far more juicy and alive. If you’ve read my posts you know that I believe that I am my demons, and you also know that I intend to make my demons divine. I give in to the urge to splurge and start the fireworks. I become the mirror. Some might say that this is unhealthy, and I do limit this tendency when dealing with significant others now, such as family, but I believe it is necessary to show others who they really are whenever possible, regardless if it shakes things loose or not. Tibetan Book of the Dead style. Practicing nonattachment, I give my heart to others on a platter, and if they don’t like the taste of my wild and savory center, I yank my heart back from them to save for snacky time later, because I sure like it. Then I bring out my swords and start slicing and dicing. I don’t lose much sleep over this, as I have a strong feeling of righteous indignation, and if you don’t know what that means, go look it up, as it is a beautifully deadly essence to dwell in. There are all sorts of tasty bites in my center, such as pride, vanity, sloth, hedonism, avariciousness, and so on. How many people will actually stand up and admit that they too possess these things? I eat them for breakfast. Becoming unattached to how ones ego is shaped leads to beautiful radical acceptance of any egos. You want to be a lover? Love everyone! You want to be a lover/hater? Love certain parts of people and hate certain parts of people – make it absolute! Judge them absolutely for dualistic presentations. View them as all or none. Throw out the baby and the bath water, and why not the tub itself while we are at it? We all do this. I do too. When I finally come to utter acceptance of myself, I will come to utter acceptance of all others. As long as I reject parts of others, I will reject parts of myself...for are we not all everyone else in some deeper way? This is the wisdom that I always come back to. I have no problem playing the games of learning how to love by accepting my own hatred of others many selves (my own many selves). It’s just that here I saw that I was becoming involved in flame games more and more often, and that it was taking an emotional toll. Not in a way that I couldn’t handle, but in a way that turned my energy towards more process work. I love process work – trust me! I could do it all day. For realsies! It’s just that I want my focus to be on certain other things right now. My energy got hijacked by process work on this board, and before I knew it, I was caring less about my original reason for coming here (complex), and entered the delightful fray of ego battles in all their various versions. I doubt that there is anyone on this board who doesn’t play these games on some level. Most people play these games in subtle, ‘pretending to be holier than though’ ways...I am honest about what I do, and do not hide behind a veil of spiritual one-upsman ship. I don’t fake it until I make it, and don’t pretend to be Buddha. Pretenders take longer to become real than real-deals do. I aim to be a real saint, not a cardboard cutout saint. That is why I say left hand tantra/crazy wisdom for me. Please don’t think I left because of rejection (although in a roundabout way I did). I left because I was getting sidetracked by the utter power of it and this is due to my path and (my nature?). It’s all good. I simply have a deadline for my book, and I need to stay focused. Plenty of time for process works after I have dealt with this other very important process work of mine. My book will heal me in ways I cannot even imagine. This I know. In a way, writing my book is about focus and discipline, and about completing karmas - my own way of giving back. Choosing my own battles sagely is about battling my self like a savvy general in command of his armies. Although everyone else’s self is my self too, I am focusing on a different part of my own core identity. I could stay on this board forever, making wise, snazzy comments, fighting the good fight, and making friends, enemies, and frenemies. You should know that I value all three of those categories nearly equally. I don’t disvalue what has happened here, I simply value my own wisdom, which tells me: if you stay, they will come, over and over and you will be at war with them, over and over. I must save my emotional energy and direct it like a laser beam, not shine my light all over the place and burn out my bulb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Songtsan Posted July 10, 2013 I also should state that I am writing the book that I wish I had had to read when I was young. This is me going back in time and telling myself "This is the stuff I wish I knew way back when." This book is for all the mes that will ever exist in time. Should I be reborn, I do hope I will pick up my book (although I think I might end up being reborn as a tiger or a snow leopard), and learn it well. I fear the creation (The book already lives in me) that exists in my head, because it details so much the responsibility we all have for the reality we shape. I am writing my own bible basically, a handbook for living - life's purpose and the roads outlined so that one can make good choices and not do stupid stuff. So much to go into the book - I hope it will all fit...it won't be an easy read - that is for sure... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Songtsan Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I think everyone should have their own personal book - we could all start inter-sharing techniques/theories, and then the best techniques/theories would naturally dominate by the results themselves. Think of it as a groupmind book! Kind of like a wikipedia of cultivation...eventually, as the ignorance was dissolved, all books will merge into one...all websites will merge into one, all brains merge into one, all ideas into one. 5000 years from now! Take scattered information, take secret systems, uncover the mysteries, explain the bliss! Organize! remove the flashy coverings to find the root source progenitor! Simplify! Remove the mists of confusion! My goal: to bring it into a very organized, efficient format. 'How to live life' manual. 'How to become a God on Earth manual' 'How to heal the soul manual' - something you can take from any point in your life and become golden...maybe? maybe not? worth a try? like a universal language! please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redaction However you try to define my book - it will not be that! I don't even know how it will turn out...lol so far I have about 175 pages of pre-writing complete, and I am building a bibliography that will be hundreds (thousands) of references long. Its an ego thing true, but it is also my karmic debt payback. Just you wait and see. My life condensed into a book - all the wisdom I have learned from making all the mistakes I made, squeezed into a tiny file. Not really of course...but a nice analogy, eh? Anyways, enough about the damn book! Talking about the damn thing will not get it done (although planning = perfection)...Focusing on the mountain top when you are still far from it will reveal your unsteadiness as you climb.
