Well first maybe see a therapist to sort out your issues. Then afterwards get a good teacher.

Well at least other people starting out now know what to avoid. Do you have a teacher now? What do you want to achieve from practice?

What practices did you do back then?

Ah, hope you managed to make it! Sorry, I should have posted it on here earlier

I’m sure TT is one of those particularly gifted, 1-in-a-billion persons

If we don’t need a teacher to learn neidan, then he should post every step and instruction here.

You don’t need to invent a martial art that can bring fantasy into reality, there are already many practices that will help you achieve unbelievable things. Here are the Grand Masters in some of the lineages I learn from:

Sometimes you don’t need to pay a therapist to understand something. If it was the case of repeated horrific violent scenes appearing unprompted then by all means, go see a therapist. But if it’s “I was daydreaming and one time it was violent” then I don’t think it’s so urgent as to waste your time and money going to a therapist.

Best advice. But don’t even bother wasting money on a psychotherapist. It’s a literal daydream. Just your imagination. Nothing more, nothing less. Whatever violent thoughts came could be from something you saw on tv, a videogame you played or a book you read.

I don’t think this fits in the Daoist section then

Welcome! What cultivation are you currently doing? And what is your end goal for cultivation?

I’ve had this happen at a friend’s house too. Music started playing loud through a speaker that wasn’t plugged into the electric socket or into a laptop. No idea where the sound came from.

You are very lucky to have found a good system that works, at such a young age. Many people spend their entire lives doing practices that don’t work and achieve nothing.

100% correct At the very least these things must really be experienced in person Videos are just good to spark people’s interest, but it’s up to you to find out for yourself what’s real and what’s not. Being dismissive of everything and just sitting at home on the computer won’t get you anywhere, you have to investigate for yourself.
