C T Posted January 7, 2014 With nothing to resonate with, the energy of the "attack" flows through as there is nothing to hit. If there is nothing to resonate with, that particular energy typically don't even arise, let alone go into attack mode. If you perceive an energy arising, and starts pondering whether its malevolent or benevolent, its already too late to then form the mental idea that there is actually nothing there for the energy to hit against. You know, as they say in the highest yogas, whatever thought arises, know that its already liberated. One does not have to do anything in particular to liberate thoughts. They already are primordially liberated. Now, sustaining this realization is the practice, and one which would take years to meticulously prepare. Same here with respect to the arising thought of being attacked by negative energy. Since all is mind, the doubtless confidence that mind is empty is good enough as a protective shield against any perceived attack. In fact, one will not even form the perception of an attack in the first place, post-realization. So one does not even need a shield, or protection from any harm. Why? Because in Dzogchen, for example, everything is a display of empty cognizance, thats why. haha. The problem could arise if someone fails to see the work involved in getting to that level of spontaneous wisdom-knowing emptiness. Its easy to point it out, a bit harder to lay a strong groundwork for the initial glimpse (into rigpa) to take root. And some people actually cling to the belief that since all is already pure (pure as in primordially unstainable - which is like saying, buddha nature) there is nothing to do, except chop wood and carry water, or eat when hungry, sleep when tired. But they dont deeply understand the subtle distinction between one who performs these actions while identifying with a self compared to another who performs similar actions without self-identification. In both instances, action takes place, but one accrues karma, while the other does not, and the reason the latter does not is because the idea of self has been deconstructed, without the slightest trace, and firmly established thru right effort. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deci belle Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) suninmyeyes put a smiley face there in her OP for a reason as it does in fact pertain to the shenanigans that go on here on this forum to certain individuals from time to time. So it's not an accident, therefore, that… CT wrote: The problem could arise if someone fails to see the work involved in getting to that level of spontaneous wisdom-knowing emptiness. The fact is that those who do fail to see the work involved also fail to see reality, and this then contributes to the spiral of delusion as action by those unable to see as they react to the response-body of those who do see, on this forum. When faced with karmic ignorance the long-tongued are not biased in terms of advance or withdrawal. The response is up to the situation. In terms of Padmasambhava's "self-refreshing pristine awareness", Hongzhi's "Amid all the noise spontaneously emerge transcendent." —is not merely the province of the absolute; therefore, in terms of suninmyeye's "What to do" OP… the expression of "wisdom-knowing emptiness" is inherent in the situation itself for those who can see. We have seen, here, on this forum, the idiocy and imaginatively vindictive actions by those CT knows all too well perpetrate— and the months and years (and name-changes) these evolutions have produced. Mirror, mirror, on the wall~ who is the fairest of them all? Dealing with ignorance here on this forum is a matter of standing by the door and gate of the mysterious female, where one abides in self-refreshing pristine awareness, and so amid all the noise, spontaneously emerge transcendent. "All the noise" is changes. "Spontaneously emerge transcendent" is not being subject to changes, in terms of seeing potential inherent in the situation itself.

Excellent post. I would agree that if one is essentially clear, there is no perception of attack (or possible attack). Additionally, the concept of a shield itself implies that there is something to protect oneself from (and fear), and shows that one does not reside in the natural state. But, I would add that "light/energy" flows through a "clear" being. The light flowing thru can "hit" issues of other beings and cause subconscious issue to arise. The bringing forward of those issues can cause an emotional reaction (like anger). Also, that energetic/emotional response can be transmitted to others who have issues that resonate at the same frequency. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deci belle Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I don't recall referring to anything as magic. Inconceivable perhaps? Magic, per se, is an art, or at least a craft. Entry into the inconceivable is a natural process of self-refinement leading to the attainment of the Virtue of the Receptive. Enlightening being is a state of not initiating anything. Wu wei is the property of non-action. This is spiritual. Why? Because enlightening being is nonpsychologically aware. Non-action accomplishes without doing by virtue of non-resistance. It is the response-body of buddhas. This is beyond the influence of karma. Why? Because one does not do anything outside of selfless response in meeting the requirements of situations to influence creation beyond the transformation-body of the deluded who do not know they are buddhas. If the other isn't empty you know it, and so do they inasmuch as they don't know their nature. It is one's nature that is empty of self. People who don't have an affinity with the Way leading to subtle operation of enlightening being cannot conceive of people who do, people who could, or, much less, people who would act beyond conformity within convention without selfish motivation. Polluted mentalities cannot conceive of others' actions whose motivations are different than their own. Clearly, an empty boat that rams into a full boat due to conditions does not garner the wrath of the full boat. If a full boat rams into an empty boat, it is not simply due to conditions as there are people in the full boat: i.e., there is responsibility. This is a fact and a condition requiring discipline, activated on the part of the responsible (not the culpable). That is, the culpable are to be taught by the intent of the responsible— not that the culpable are capable of learning from the responsible. When an ignoramous does something: i.e. act on self-reflective resentments and arbitrarily use circumstantial influence corruptly (as have former moderators in the past), due to the real threat of a growing influence of clarity in the environment that IS destabilizing the old-guard establishment, this is a selfish motivation. This is like a full boat. Full boats can very well become empty boats, but enlightening being does not "transform" another. Tools cut, the sage is not a tool. Conditions themselves are the absolute in terms of potential, which only the sage sees. One only acts spontaneously in terms of the potential inherent in the situation itself to go along with conditions in order to introduce guidance as transformation of conditions themselves transform fullness into emptiness. One who is already empty, stays empty. This is knowing and subsequently, transcending changes as the full experience birth and death without gathering potential. The point is, enlightening beings count on the occurrence of attacks and negative energy. Objectivity is the domain of selfless awareness. Adapting to conditions selflessly is enlightening being, not a strategy to be invulnerable to circumstances. Furthermore, enlightening beings use circumstances spontaneously to freshen the stagnant and secretly influence evolution according to circumstances. If you yourself are not empty, you cannot perceive anything else as empty, if you perceive it at all. Jeff said: I would agree that if one is essentially clear, there is no perception of attack Oh? If one is clearly perceptive, one knows whether or not one is under attack. It is simply the intent of another to create a gap or indicative of one who has perceived a gap and acting on it— or intending to create a deception or probe to test the possibility of a gap. Vulnerability is not a technique in itself. It is simply a state dependent on conditions. It is conditions which determine vulnerability in oneself or others This is not the same as "baiting". Baiting is a deception as an inverted attack~ but it is not intrinsically opposed to attack~ on the contrary, it is a device to trigger an attack to further ones strategy to trap another. I would call this treachery in the context of this forum. There is a moderator who is doing this now. Who is so clear as to not perceive an attack is one who is circumstantially not vulnerable to attack. It is not that such a one isn't under attack, nor that such a one is unaware that there are those whose intent is to subject such a one to attack, probe, or deception. Perceiving vulnerability is recognizing a gap, in oneself, in another. Clarity open to changes is simply virtuous receptivity abiding in presence naturally so. This is called nonresistance. It is not that one is vulnerable or invulnerable to attack by the condition of vulnerability— that is due to potential. Clarity is the state of spontaneous adaption to circumstances, that's all. Mind is one. Clarity is not a separate reality. Reality is unified when seeing is clear. When seeing complete reality, if one is unable to fill a gap in the context of situations, the timing of changes is inexorable. This is the time of stealing potential when it is ripe and sealing it away in secrecy, void of intellect— at just the moment the natural yin cycle of killing energy at the culmination of yang. Negative energy and attacks are phenomenal killing yin energies of the normal evolutionary mechanism of created cycles of yin and yang. One finds the true as a result of seeing the false within the matrix of karmic evolution. Enlightening being is seeing the timing of the celestial mechanism and acting at the precise moment within the Yin Convergence cycle to steal potential (unrefined elixir). It's not magic, it's inconceivable subtle operation of enlightening being turning polluted energy into the gold elixir of immortality.

4bsolute Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) This is one way ...Just reading this book and feel like sharing .. "Cultivating the empty field " by Hongzhi (a for you know who you are ) ALL BEINGS ARE YOUR ANCESTORS Fully appreciate the emptiness of all dharmas . Then all minds are free and all dusts evaporate in original brilliance shining everywhere . Transforming according to circumstances , meet all beings as your ancestors . Subtly illuminate all conditions , magnanimous beyond all duality . Clear and desirelss, the wind in the pines and the moon in the water are content in their elements .Without minds interacting ,(wind and pines or moon and water ) do not impede on another . Essentially you exist inside emptiness and have capacity to respond outwardly without being annoyed , like spring blossoming, like mirror reflecting forms . Amid all the noise spontaneously emerge transcendent . I have found one good shielding mudra, that we should feel instantly. Remember that shielding is creating a temporal immunity. This means that neither energies are getting in, nor energies are getting out. You are sitting in a bubble. When your index fingers point forward, you see the nails, take the inner most edge of each index finger, next to the nail and put it on the middle soft side of your thumb tip. Directly on the opposite side of your thumb nail. Similar but not exactly to the 'mudra' commonly used as "Hmm tastes good". Do this with both hands. You can put your hands in your pockets or cross your arms and do the mudra, how ever you like. It works for me. But this is just a temporal solution until one sits in higher energies.. and naturally feels untouched by these lower. If we work with the Pa Kua we can program it even more intelligent. We really can be creative here! For example to only let higher energies in us and everything below our healthy frequency is getting repelled Or even better! Transmuted Into life-giving energy: Negative into possitive - so we are fed even further ..might turn into a leeching effect so let us constantly engineer it shall we? If people tell you they feel drained around you, you know what to do: Turn yourself into a radiator of higher energies and affect others around you with it.

It's not magic, it's inconceivable subtle operation of enlightening being turning polluted energy into the gold elixir of immortality. Bring it. Energy attacks are "forms" in mind (or universal mind). Enlightened beings transcend mind and are "also" the energy/light and not separate from it. For an energy attack to "hit", it must resonate with some similar frequency energy structure in the receiving person (like an issue or fear). A good example is with an insult. If someone says you look bad, if you are insecure on the topic, the insult can strike a blow. If you are secure and don't worry about it, the insult has no affect. One can understand that someone is attempting to attack them, but that does not mean that the attack has any effect. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9th Posted January 15, 2014 "According to real, exact knowledge, one force, or two forces, can never produce a phenomenon. The presence of a third force is necessary, for it is only with the help of a third force that the first two can produce what may be called a phenomenon, no matter in what sphere. "The teaching of the three forces is at the root of all ancient systems. The first force may be called active or positive; the second, passive or negative; the third, neutralizing. But these are merely names, for in reality all three forces are equally active and appear as active, passive, and neutralizing, only at their meeting points, that is to say, only in relation to one another at a given moment. The first two forces are more or less comprehensible to man and the third may sometimes be discovered either at the point of application of the forces, or in the 'medium,' or in the 'result.' But, speaking in general, the third force is not easily accessible to direct observation and understanding. The reason for this is to be found in the functional limitations of man's ordinary psychological activity and in the fundamental categories of our perception of the phenomenal world, that is, in our sensation of space and time resulting from these limitations. People cannot perceive and observe the third force directly any more than they can spatially perceive the 'fourth dimension.' "But by studying himself, the manifestations of his thought, consciousness, activity—his habits, his desires, and so on—man may learn to observe and to see in himself the action of the three forces. "Examples of the action of the three forces, and the moments of entry of the third force, may be discovered in all manifestations of our psychic life, in all phenomena of the life of human communities and of humanity as a whole, and in all the phenomena of nature around us. "But at the beginning it is enough to understand the general principle: every phenomenon, of whatever magnitude it may be, is inevitably the manifestation of three forces; one or two forces cannot produce a phenomenon, and if we observe a stoppage in anything, or an endless hesitation at the same place, we can say that, at the given place, the third force is lacking. In trying to understand this it must be remembered at the same time that people cannot observe phenomena as manifestations of three forces because we cannot observe the objective world in our subjective states of consciousness. And in the subjectively observed phenomenal world we see in phenomena only the manifestation of one or two forces. If we could see the manifestation of three forces in every action, we should then see the world as it is (things in themselves). Only it must here be remembered that a phenomenon which appears to be simple may actually be very complicated, that is, it may be a very complex combination of trinities. But we know that we cannot observe the world as it is and this should help us to understand why we cannot see the third force. The third force is a property of the real world. The subjective or phenomenal world of our observation is only relatively real, at any rate it is not complete. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deci belle Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) One can understand that someone is attempting to attack them, but that does not mean that the attack has any effect. You are still insisting that Clarity is a state which precludes response, any response. It is simply not the case. Response is spontaneous and inconceivable, dependent on the situation itself, not someone in particular. Enlightening being is not a matter of invulnerability. Was Jesus so invulnerable? One must actually go through the situation without reservation and only then, manifestly prove one's ultimate transcendence. But to arrive at this pre-emminence, one must be totally vulnerable to do that— and the situation itself is the context for the manifestation of the creative cycle in which transcendent potential is inherent, skillfully held in terms of impersonal awareness, then released as powerful, inconceivable response. You must understand that this power is not one's own. That is your assumption and it is erroneous to continue such assumptions in terms of enlightening activity in response to conditions. This is the true meaning of selfless action. Don't ever think that when you get to be like me, it will be so different than how it is being like you right now. As your virtue reaches critical masses, natural evolutions through karmic magnitude will manifest to match your potential in terms of the situation and in terms of the absolute. Subtle operation is just a matter of knowing when to use 4 ounces to move a thousand pounds. And to do that, you must be able to wait for the time to arrive. The timing is celestial. Only then is response up to oneself alone. You should never hold out for such an easy go of it when enlightening function is realized, cured and you can then fly like a dragon. To be a partner of creation and not subject to it requires inconceivable audacity. Evolution in the aftermath of sudden realization and the subsequent development of enlightening qualities is not for the omnipotent. If you are to become a buddha, you will see for yourself that the demiurge will be the equivalent of a bell-hop when you pass through the empyrean veil, and all things become equal. ed note: one too many "that"s in 3rd paragraph Edited January 16, 2014 by deci belle 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that if you review my posts above, you will see that I have not stated such a thing. I have just stated that an energy attack will have no effect on an enlightened being. Unaffected by the attack and free of mental preconceptions, an enlightened being is free to respond however it chooses is appropriate to the moment.

deci belle Posted January 17, 2014 That is a good provisional teaching, Chi. But for those whose expression is enlightening activity in the world, there is no set disposition, as the meeting of potential and creation is dependent on the situation itself to have its proper result. As for Jeff's imaginative projection pertaining to his "profound" understanding of omnipotence able to ignore the world of deluded activity; there is simply no such thing. He does not know it, and he does not know of any beings outside of graphic novels who are so divorced from reality as his understanding is. The world is itself Mind. There is nothing outside of oneself. If there is one shred of reality one does not consider himself, this is the ignorant human mentality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current and dominant theory of quantum physics states that the electrons of every atom are everywhere in the universe at once, only they have tendencies to be in more localized areas as far as field theory goes. I am a believer in holographic theory, which states that the whole is in all parts. Matter is an illusion - there is only energy and force.
