So do you remember where it all started?
Sanity Check replied to Cadcam's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
One of my grandfathers trained in some form of inner alchemy. He wanted to teach me and my cousins when we were all around 12 years old. But literally my uncles and father said: "its not good for christians to learn that stuff of the devil". Those stereotypes are real sometimes. -

apathy in any realm brings other realms down
Sanity Check replied to old3bob's topic in The Rabbit Hole
People love to say the only static constant in the universe is change. And so why bother defining anything as a hard this or that. In one era it may be one thing, and in another era, something completely different. In one era castles were impregnable fortresses. In another era, cannons came along and made castles obsolete. - Today

A work event of all things haha. Although... I worked for an Indigenous organization so our work 'functions' were a bit more spiritual than your typical office team-building. -
"non-violent in thought and action" is a core Hindu/yogic precept which is also taught in many other ways. Yet we live in a very violent world where violence is sometimes needed for self-defense. Turn on the news and its mostly reporting forms of violence, with some being minor and some being horrific going on almost 24/7 throughout the world of humanity! How can one really be 100% non-violent (unless truly and fully enlightened with "tough love") when using violence in self-defense? "As above so below" is a nice sounding saying yet its apparent that there is violence throughout all the realms "above" except for the very highest or purest. Bypassing and or acting above it all is a cop out and not a solution, thus goes the ages old struggle we are in...

For me, a bizarre meditative experience when I was in my mid-twenties. I saw that the entirety is just pure Grace. -
Found A Place That Teaches Astral Travel! But You Need To Be Indian

Yoni Puja, Linga Puja, Maithuna Ritual
Nuralshamal replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Hindu Discussion
Dear friends, It's now been 3 years, and I've completed all 3 levels of DeviPuram Sri Vidya, including going there 2 times for 7-10 days each time. What I will say is the following: 1) The Sri Vidya is real, 2) The sex practices have gone underground since the mahasamadhi (passing) of Guru Amritananda, 3) There are some weird vibes going on in DeviPuram (a clash between the spiritual energies of power and peace, with animalistic desires, power play, politics, dominance etc), So definitely go and learn, get the dikshas, complete all levels and get all mantras. If you want to do the more sexual stuff, it can be "inferred" from having learnt Devipuram Sri Vidya. Because in the manuals for the last and final puja done on either the 2d sri yantra/chakra or the 3d Meru, you learn exactly how all the mantras and yantras simply depict the human body. It's just like qigong, it's the whole micro- and macrocosm idea. Once you understand that, you can easily adapt the rituals to do them on yourself or on a partner. The general idea is to activate each "devata" through all 5 elements (earth, water, fire, air and akash). Akash is both space and energy, just like sound waves traveling through space, interdependent. That's the dual symbolism of many Gods/Godesses wielding the chakra/discus as well as the conch. The chakra is a spinning force, just like the milky way spiral galaxy, as well as the chakras or energy wheels in our body. It's movement, energy, electricity and vibration. Whereas the conch comes from the sea, ocean, symbolizing a great holding space. Within it is also space, and you know you can hear the sound when you hold the conch next to your ear. That's the space and sound principle. So it's the shiva shakti, yin yang, movement and stillness, electricity and magnetism, energy and space. E.g. the muladhara chakra is activated through worship of Ganapati. It's activated by giving food to others (bhojanam), doing tarpanam and marjanam (water ritual), havan (fire ritual), puja (all 5 elements), mantra japam (akash) and dhyanam (meditation, mind) You can do the tarpanam on yourself instead or the yantra or a turmeric pyramid, or literally on the penis if you're a man. The trunk of the elephant. Then you simply overlay the yantra on the penis, worshipping the different points. Bala or the swadisthana chakra, same thing, do it on the yantra, on a turmeric cone, or on the clitoris of a woman. All the yantra points are simply overlaid on the genital organs and then worshipped. Same with Chamunda around the navel, Raja Shyamala on the breasts of a woman, Varahi on the head and so on. Lalita Tripura Sundari is worshipped using the Sri Meru, you can again do that physically on yourself or on a partner. That is then the whole body. If you want to offer a sexual act, just use the general "skeleton" of a ritual: guru mantra, pranayama, sankalpa, offering and so on. Then you simply offer the sexual act and visualise yourself as the god and partner as goddess or reverse. So if you learn through Devipuram, you can infer how to do the sexual practices. The best bet if you want to learn directly, is to connect with some of the white students of Amritananda, who don't suffer from all the cultural and political consequences as the indians, who are free to teach. I might actively do that at some point, as Sri Vidya is honestly pretty great at activating the latent powers within the human body. Further, we're anyway having sex, might as well use some of those sessions to activate our energies and draw closer to the divine in a conscious manner. -

I mean individually. What was the spark that started your journey -
Groups and individuals following dharmic like or based and proven ways that are basically wholesome and universal for all people is ideal, while forms of censorship for those that are hell bent against same is needed if we are to "live and let live" in some kind of harmony in a very diverse world. (instead of censorship being used against dharmic ways)

Found A Place That Teaches Astral Travel! But You Need To Be Indian
Nuralshamal replied to Nuralshamal's topic in Hindu Discussion
Hey everyone, Just wanted to give a somewhat dissapointing update. I managed to work my way in, it was hard, it took 8 years, but through networking with all the official and unofficial masters, volunteers, my friends, people I met while in the temple, I finally managed to find a rogue SKY master who's no longer official who agreed to teach me astral travel. As you can imagine I was over the moon, I have after all been searching for this skill for 10 years, and have tried A LOT of methods. However when I was in the temple grounds with this rogue master, I was so at peace. It felt so normal and natural. Even though he's left the organisation, he exudes deep vibes of a sense of discipline, gratitude as well as the awe of the holiness and sanctity of Vethathiri Maharishi's teachings. It was a very religious feeling, in a positive way. During my stay he taught me several discontinued SKY meditations, so was happy to learn all of these things. When the morning came and we had to get up at 4 to do the astral travel, I was very much at ease, despite ofc being tired from jet lag as well as getting up at 4 Indian Time The meditation was much, much simpler than I had imagined. Just like I had heard, you meditate on a particular chakra the night before, blessed by the master. Then you go to bed and fall asleep while meditating with the masters blessing and prayer on that chakra. When you wake up you go to the temple, lie down flat, relax your whole body, then you do the meditation itself, which is super simple. You start with the well known SKY chakra meditation, then you visualise step-wise certain things. Out of the 6-7 steps, at the 4th step I was SURE I was leaving my body. From one moment to the next, the sensation of my physical body completely disappeared, my breathing also stopped, yet it felt very normal and natural, I felt at ease. I felt "ok, now my soul will soar". However for some reason I didn't get the full seperation, so instead I kept going with the step by step visualisation as guided by the master lying next do me (we were both covered by white sheets/blankets). Then we finished the visualisation and "visualised coming back". The moment I visualised my spirit coming back I felt a huge burst of energy all over. It was as if my whole aura or energy field had been somewhat small because of tiredness, lack of sleep, jetlag etc, hence I was a bit tired. But after the meditation (we visualised going to certain places to get energy), when I visualised returning, it was "real", meaning the energy we had collected came into my body. So my whole energybody / aura / field expanded and I felt so refreshed. The master told me that there's a specific 108 day long practice to go through first, which will ensure you have the power and energy to actually seperate that I should now go home and do on my own. And the visualisation is a kind of practice, but suddenly one day it will really happen, and you will really fully seperate and fly around. I was 100% convinced I would get it when I returned home to my country with the 108 day practice, as the practice under the master's guidance was so powerful, I really, truly deeply felt "ok, this is it". Now I've been home for more than 4-5 months and I did the practice, but I unfortunately still didn't get it. So am somewhat disappointed, yet also feeling satisfied "that I gave it my all". I went to the end of the Earth, I spoke to 100s of people, networked, travelled, spent money and time, took off work, I did all in my power "to get it". I got something, but still kind of "failed" at my main mission, unfortunately. I've spoken with several of the other SKY masters now, revealing I learnt the secret technique, without revealing from whom (as that would create political havoc and negatively impact the rogue master), and they shared their own experiences of astral travel and simply advised me: "it's not the technique, it's just 2 things: 1) be fully relaxed with your physical body, 2) completely shift your attention to your energybody". When you do this, you automatically pop out one day. So right now my plan is to simply keep practicing, 1 hour pr day Master Wu's qigong (the best I ever did), and 1 hour pr day SKY meditation. Then hopefully 1 day it will happen on it's own. My last hope is some of the tantric, magical daoist and sleeping qigong programs I'm sometimes doing particularly for astral travel will one day work, but so far I've done 3 tantric methods (some for 41 days, some for 90 days, and some for 100 days), I didn't succeed. Then I did daoist ways (mantra, mudra, talisman, meditation and connecting with particular spirits), some again for 49 days, some 100, and one method I really believed in I did for about 9 months straight every single night. I also failed. Sleeping qigong I've been doing for about 6 months, where 2 of the meditations can cause soul travel, but so far nothing. Will keep going. Anyway, just wanted to give you all an update, several people have privately messaged me asking about the results of my India trip and astral travel adventures/searches, so just wanted to share for all to see.- 5 replies

Hello Friends, Nice to meet you all, I am very excited to be apart of this community. I've ended up here after being a fan of cultivation manhuas and web novels for a while now. I found out that some of the concepts, systems and traditions explained in those cultivation stories are actually inspired from reality, which was a mind blowing discovery for me. That being said I would also like to start being a practitioner to improve my well being and discover new dimensions of this life that so far I've been ignorant about. I would really appreciate some advice on how to get started, maybe a course or something, like I said I'm a complete beginner

Long form, 50-10-50, monk holding pearl, some Golden Lotus meds for heart. Sitting mostly 7-10 mins per med. Sometimes other meds, depending on needs.

Of use ? I think the distinction is of supreme importance . The brain is like a flock of birds , it just supplies the hardware for the mind to operate 'down on ' this polarity . The mind is that multi dimensional field that allows the 'bird / brains' work like this ; The dream is in the brain and the mind . The physical memory is in the body ... as the genetic memory is in the genes ... the ancient physical memory is in the reptilian brain - or hind brain , down into the brain stem . The higher functions are 'blank memory' circuits , yet to be programmed , or in some cases being programmed . - see Exo-psycholgy - the 8 circuit brain .

But you know the brain isnt a muscle ..... ergo ?

A very dear friend of mine suffered bad sexual abuse as a young girl . Her and her step-sister (in a similar situation from the same man) did a runner from their small rural and a bit isolated community - a few farms together in a small inland valley . Eventually they took off ..... 'went bush ' . Now they were free but in fear of being 'hunted' and bought home or being turned in to the authorities and now, two young teens alone in the bush ... they still did not feel safe . One day two women riders found their vacant camp . By looking at the camp, they knew something was up ; whosoever camp it was , it looked like they knew somewhat what they were doing, but some indications made them curious and worried . So they went looking for them . And they tracked and found them . My friend said, if they had not realized they were women, they would have taken off . They sat and chatted with the two older women , who seemed amazingly understanding and sympathetic when they heard their story . '' You need to come with us , we have a safe place , you will fit right in ..'' So they did , and that is how that (now a ) woman came to live for a while , and have times of refuge, at 'Women's Land ' . She picked up some skills there too , as women do everything there , and teach others . - Women's Land is a near myth around here , it has been going for a long time . Its a closed rural community out in the 'semi-wilderness'. One can imagine from the title .... no men allowed . It was started for women ( and perhaps by women ) that had a similar experience to those girls . That woman, who was that little girl was my GF for a time and when I found out what area she spent her young days in I asked her ; ''Hey ! Have you ever heard of Women's Land ? is it a real place ? '' '' Women's Land ! .... Heard of it ? .... I used to live there ! and run away to there all the time ! '' ( Thats how I heard this story ) . - I guess I found my 'special place ' as well

Hmmmm ... I can agree with that regarding wrong attention . But with a correct attention to her, she can teach us how to behave so our harm is either minimal or ' manageable ' .

It may be of use to distinguish the brain from the mind. For example, awaking (returning to the body) from a dream usually results in very little memory of the dream. Is the dream in the mind and the physical memory in the brain?
