XianGong Posted January 8, 2021 Gonna say all the karmic entanglement, connections are all a made-up bs. There is nothing. Unawakened shen can awaken under the influence of awakened shen, but this has nothing to do with sex or intimacy. Also, this process is subtle and fallback is quick if the person is not cultivating.

They don't have an ego, so "they" cannot generate karma, obviously But not everything about them is free of karma. Their bodies still need to eat, for example. So their bodies still experience karma.

As I understand it - if the cause is not based on karma - the result will have a chance to be free of karma... so the cause has to come from something deeper than one’s conditioned self. Another way of doing that is through mindfulness - be completely absorbed in the intricacy of the moment and you might not create karma... Do something mindlessly, automatically, habitually, reflexively - and you’ll generate or strengthen some karmic tie. Then it won't be "you" generating karma, because "you" will cease to be. Your body will still be generating and living through karma, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluePhoenix133 Posted February 2, 2021 Someone told me that when they had sex they felt this energy circulating back and forth between them and their partner. This reminds me of what i have heard about tantric Buddhist sex. Unfortunately my experience is limited as every time i have been with a woman i have been in a low jing state and since i am a massive wanker who is enslaved to porn i haven't really enjoyed it either. As for the energy vampirism well its demonic entities you have to watch out for, back in 2013 i started to practice mindfulness meditation everyday and thanks to that i finally managed to slowly cut down on my porn addiction... that summer i went three weeks no pmo for the first time and i woke up in sleep paralysis witha 4ft grey alien/archon/demon standing at the foot of my bed. Anyway it would take to too long to go into all my experiences with entities invading my mind, manipulating my dreams and also those around me which i know sounds crazy but once you realize this happens and they do indeed exist allot of things make sense. In the beginning of 2015 i was waking up one morning and i felt energy being drained from my left arm a bit like pins and needles but not. I turned my head to the left and just before i opened my eyes i saw what seemed like a fractal realm of red orange and yellow with a short reptilian humanoid prominent brow ridge with a big messed up grin arm outstretched holding my arm. About to go off topic but i did have an interesting bunch of experiences in the spring of 2014 i had managed to go a load of 40 ish day no pmo streaks and then more recently every couple of weeks relapse... two different times i was around two different girls i felt my lower dan tien connect with theirs and there was this crazy sexual tension. But when i spiraled back down in porn slavery those two girls seemed kinda disgusted at me whereas before they really seemed to like me which is funny they wont know why exactly. The first time i made it 7 weeks no pmo i kept thinking about a co worker who is not even attractive, so i wake up one night and feel something trying to pull my boxers down.... oh and i have IBS the only way to get better is suppliments and sexual abstinence but despite my symptoms being awful i still havent managed to overcome my porn addiction.... so yeah the last 7 years have been a nightmare, well i guess my whole life as this probably means i have been abducted by aliens since i was born so yaaay for being human on this stupid fucking planet!

BluePhoenix133 Posted February 2, 2021 Oh and the time i managed to abstain for long periods not only did i get healthier but i felt this bliss in my body... sometimes it was so good that i am actually amazed i would go back into porn or even want real sex for that matter, although i am sure with the right person it could be phenomenal but tbh imo sex is kinda gross i wish i could build a light body and just gtfo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your body will still be generating and living through karma, though. That is the prārabdha karma, what had been set into motion with the formation of the physical body and it will need to play itself out. The description typically given in the Hindu texts is, like an arrow that is already in flight -- it will continue to be in flight until it comes to rest.
