Is a nondual realisation equivalent to a kundalini activation?

Interesting, and completely authentic experience IMO. -

In my experience there can be enough preparation when the right directions are followed, either via dreams or a seer. You know the water system referred to in neidan, I have found that when that water system is set up correctly, kundalini can be likened to a nuclear reactor rod that is kept perfectly cool in water. Without the constant supply of cooling water there can only be intolerable shock. -
Maybe we're well on our way to becoming boring 😌 I just stopped at whole foods on the way back from work. Didn't even get one funny look. Come on guys you got to give a girl a little bit of excitement lol

Hello all! I'm Abby, 5o y/o female. I'm a long-time lurker here, but only decided to post now. While I mostly consider myself and Sri Vidya/Non-dual tantrik Shaivism practitioner, I have had empowerments for and performed Vajrayana sadhanas. That said, my interest in Daoism is what originally led me here. I've had a meditation practice for 9 years now, and have been an MA practitioner for almost 40 years. I consider myself a Devi-Bhakta, a practical mystic, and an all-around witchy-woman

On the bright side, Maddie started a thread about transgender issues and the most controversial subject to come up today is Lord Byron.
-
That would be acceptable.
-
how about this: next time i'm at one of the local used bookstores i'll check for a byron, just for you
-
oh ok … but your bookcase is otherwise impressive. So thank you.
-
I don't have one! (This contributes to my having no opinion)
-
Well! Where’s your copy of Childe Harold?
-
I don't have any opinions on Lord Byron!
-
What exactly have you got against Lord Byron?

No growth of moor or coppice, No heather-flower or vine, But bloomless buds of poppies, Green grapes of Proserpine, Pale beds of blowing rushes Where no leaf blooms or blushes Save this whereout she crushes For dead men deadly wine.

Oh the "Aeneid" and "Dante"

Ah the children of the night - how they sing.

All that dark meticulously gleaming wood does look a bit vampiric.

The only one I could really make out was the "Iliad"

Ooooo ... hot ! Second only to sexy , vaguely B&D suggestive , hot, retro, dominant, Art Deco, Upper class English, Martian , 'devil woman ' ;

on second thought, having "the flowers of evil" visible on my shelf probably isn't helping my "not actually malevolent" case...
-
I, being I in this clouded world, Am drawn by base desire and some malevolent duty, To thrust my naked self into the Waterfall, Deluged there by reckless beauty, Submerged in sandy shores and, Named Sharon mysteriously, Washed up on distant shores, Not dead but yet a surrogate corpse, The body of an unborn kind, Transmigrated from this world to the next, Timeless and yet waiting, For the late night bus.

The basic difference in my experience is that in Mahamudra, step by step meditation precedes the view whereas in Dzogchen, the view is introduced and is the meditation. There are also techniques unique to each, and ideas are transmitted with different models depending on the specific school, teacher, etc. Both have been highly flavored by the monastic, Tantric Tibetan culture in my opinion. I'll have to check it out. It seems there are a lot of parallels with Vedanta and Shaivism, and Chinese Chan. I'm curious to what the Daoist influences might be.

@Apech better?
