Any idea what this "Gentle Energy" could be?
Ascetic posted a topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
I've recently become aware of this kind of energy, almost like yin. It's very easy to sense around the dead, it's almost like this energy that is so soft and quiet that it only goes down. There are other places where it appears prevalent, in places of nature that are untouched or leylines (which I personally don't believe there are any on this world) , I also feel like this energy can be collected from trees but thats probably one of the most difficult things someone can do. I personally collect this energy from spirits, like the dead or in the astral. It's a terrible corruption though, as one has to hold onto those spirits they make use of permanently, instead of throwing them back into the void. I think it could be some unrefined sort of Qi, or perhaps a new source of energy: similar to what is generated by merely waiting. It just feels like whatever this energy is, it dies if one isn't gentle when grabbing it all the while it also dies when one is too slow for it dissipates easily like mortal qi. Surprisingly holding onto this energy makes it feel like time is distorted, or boredom/loneliness no longer feel painful. -
Welcome I hope someone can help you with this.

Why is there so much evil in the world?
Sanity Check replied to Gerard's topic in General Discussion
If evolution rewards the fittest. Evil encourages & rewards the polar opposite demographic. If a culture built on evolution elevates the most successful and hard working members of society. Evil rewards the least successful and most lazy members based on privileged status. Evil is essentially anti evolution, anti science, anti fact and goes against the natural order of nature. -
Anime characters sucking evil into the palms of their hands. Which might parallel certain occult practices.

Dear forum uswers, I´m need urgent help. My name is Margo, male 46. Something happened my kundalini. My story short, what happened: have practiced chakra meditaton with Om Swami since 2018. I reached to the Hearth chakra. This year I performed in ashram Nav Durga Tantra Sadhana and after that I did 40 days Ucchista Ganapati Sadhana. I felt very good, very good pure golden energy in me. Evening and night before 22.03 I slipped into immoral (porn) videos. 25.03. bad videos again. This destroyed my golden energy. Night before 09.04 I had terrible dream - I black hair beautiful girl died (commited suicide or fell down from cliff). I told to her to go to the edge of that cliff so her death was my fault. Probably Devi in me died. 11.04. My mind went crazy - when I saw another person I felt I am he. I like indiviudual person didnt excist anymore. I also saw that golden honey like energy that was in deep my second chakra was removed from me. All the sexuality was removed from me. 12.04. I felt better in the mind, I was again like individual person Margo. Some days ago started new problems: when I go to bed and try to sleep very intense colourful uncontrollable images start in my head. These images make sleeping impossible. I have to use strong sleeping pill to be able sleep. In the head there is strange "alien" energy, head is constantly heavy, daytime absence, memory and attention impairment,. Never before I had these problems. Sexuality still absolutely zero. Apparently something happened to the kundalini energy. Is there anyone who could help me? Thank you!

Tommy replied to Tommy's topic in Buddhist Textual Studies
I do not believe anyone said anything about sitting on the toilet and trying to become kickboxing champion except for you. True. But, at least they are not sitting on the toilet for hours everyday trying to become a kick boxing champion. Public places are for public assembly and discussion. Seeing it as sitting on the toilet is pointless. People need to be social and assemble to talk and discuss and debate. There is a natural need for people to do this. I do doubt that they are all looking to become a kickboxing champion. What they do gain is obviously more than you can see. The Dharma does say a teacher and a sangha is needed in advancing along the path. A sense of humor? It is sometimes good to be able to laugh at oneself??? The old saying applies. Seek and you shall find. You seek futility in others actions and that is what you will find. If you are trapped by tigers above you and by tigers below you while you hang by the vine. Then is it futile to see the fruit on the vine and taste its beauty? I asked for replies to meet people and learn from them. You see social gathering fill with "copium". I see you here trying to proclaim how superior you are to others. Telling me that sitting on the toilet will not make me a kickboxing champion. Well at least sitting on the toilet I know which way the crap flows. Note: I find there are times when I am like a mirror. What comes in front of me, gets reflected back. I am so sorry for my reflections. Do not worry. I will put you on my ignore list. - Yesterday

Emptiness in meditation is a transitional stage. Initially there are many thoughts and emotions. Depending on efficiency of technique and refinement of the personality, there are increasing gaps in the thinking/feeling. These gaps in consciousness can result in time appearing to pass very quickly The gaps, depending upon technique, may contain higher awareness that is not recorded in the brain. Later in the refinement process, the initiate's brain provides some awareness of transcendental processes. Thus the emptiness phase is passed and the initiate learns to be consciously active beyond the planet -

Practicing sitting on the toilet for hours every day will never make you a kickboxing world champion. Meditation is a broad term. Some people sit and count their breaths as a form of meditation, while others focus on being aware of something. I visit public places with a sense of humor, but it is unfortunate to see all kinds of young people and some not so young wasting their lives on meaningless activities, believing that "it will happen" one day. A few more years of pointless sitting on the toilet, and they expect to become world champions in everything at once, complete with a rainbow body and ascension. Moreover, instead of gaining insights from practice, they engage in endless debates and discussions that are even more futile and pointless than the practice itself. Naturally, common sense, such as the idea that "sitting on forums for decades and guessing the path to divinity" is futile, is not welcomed. Then there are social gatherings filled with copium, where people describe their 20 to 30 years of "cultivation," claiming, "I have become a better, kinder person." "Tell me what I want to hear, but not the truth that I need to hear." Few. -
I'd say it's not really possible to get into current events without getting into politics, just like it's not really possible to get into "spiritual" practices without getting into spiritual principles. It is said that that one of greatest forms of progress for goodness is when great evil is transmuted. (including the aspect of, "if it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger") But the situations in many parts of this world are so way off balance that evil is having a perfect storm of pushing its ways. A perfect storm that results in suffering and murder per hellish beings that are penetrating the Earth realm with lots of success and also influencing human beings. (some scoff at such an idea, although such has been going on for ages) Thankfully evil has no lasting root and will not prevail but will destroy all it can as it fails. (as much of history shows)

Being exposed to meditation when young made no difference as I never seriously pursued it. It was only in my teens that I developed an interest. And only after I retired, that I have decided to integrate the practice into my nightly routine. I have looked into Zen centers near where I live. All of them teach meditation in one form or another. But, I have for one reason or another have not decided to seek a teacher. I thank you for your offer to help. And do really appreciate the advice you have given me here on this forum. -

Hi!
I would like to pose a question to you concerning Lower Dantien .
What bothers me is that after I have built up the lower datien I started having headaches and high blood pressure, therefore had to stop all practices. No matter how I refined entering energies I still feel that it is a dead end.
Would be grateful if you could enlighten me on the subject.

Nothing to discuss to be honest with you. People should not even be seeing these videos. It's just that someone downloaded these videos and is practicing without a teacher within the BFP lineage. That's only part of the issue; the next part is that they mix it with something else, adding their own concepts on top of it -

the main (personal) delusion is in thinking that one's mind/intellect/concepts, texts, etc. can somehow fully understand and circumscribe or be that which they are not, although at best point towards. (which includes thinking that one's mind fully understands and is an expert on no-self) good luck, don't believe me find out for yourself...

Folks love their own story. Me too... The first sentence in quote says it all. It can't be understood, only experienced. The Dharma helps give a framework to point us in the right direction. If you understand dependent origination, then not-self becomes self evident (pun intended!) One more step is necessary though. _/|\_
