  1. Hello, I am a solo cultivator

    If anyone is at all interested in actual discussions of value, let’s have those.
  2. Hello, I am a solo cultivator

    ... yes cross training is highly encouraged by me. These subjects are just like anything else, they involve what is real (facts) how to work with them (practice) and ways of doing that (skills) towards an end (goal). The more you know the easier things are to figure out for yourself. ... yeah its really too bad that some people try to monetize these things. Probably why they were hidden from people throughout history. It's good in the end though, as we don't want people around us who are evil sorcerers. This knowledge is too dangerous for the ignoble and unwise.
  3. Hello, I am a solo cultivator

    ... Yes I am. Although, I'm more of a mix of practices aligned mostly to the Vedic tradition. Advaita Vedanta information and observations actually describe what I have experienced the best so far... What's with all this denial of solo cultivation? It's a well known practice, actually the highest one in my opinion... takes much more diligence and intelligence to find your own way than to follow instructions from an isolated tradition. Plus many traditions don't even know about or even are aware of some things you discover. Pratyekabuddhayana - widely known. Lone buddhas are solo practitioners. ...currently my practice involves enjoying the bliss of myself. It's utterly awesome, and is also known about by others... quoted on in the Bhagavad Gita: "Awareness of consciousness itself is everlasting joy." I highly recommend ati yoga. All of the intellectual workings help the mind, but it ultimately needs to be focused on the right thing...the self. ...I will say - the buddhists describe things in a strange way... but I suspect they have a similar view, just described in a weird way. Like - they say there is something called the "no-self". So, there is something, but it's not the self that people have the idea of themselves about not one's ego... kinda confusing to call something that exists as a negative... ...doesn't really matter, as the golden light of my own consciousness and the golden light behind existence are light. I've seen it myself... I don't need any other description. Light works for me. We are beings of light.
  4. Hello, I am a solo cultivator

    Dude, Master solo.... sounds like you have had an interesting series of events and discoveries, Congratulations!!!!
  5. Hello, and where do I start?

    Health - meditation called "The Microcosmic Orbit" - written about at length by Mantak Chia and other taoists. Peace of mind - Stillness meditation. Just be still. Don't allow anything to disturb you. Strength - Internal arts meditations, many kinds depending on what you want to strengthen.
  6. Siddhi - The mundane is the same as the mystical

    so- you think using an example from a fantasy fictional movie is going to help you understand the mysteries of how life operates? …ok. they are part of the natural law- that’s the whole point. They are not understood by science because there is little research of them. sounds like you’re just speculating without any experience… sorry but- it doesn’t sound like you know anything practical about what you’re talking about.
  7. Siddhi - The mundane is the same as the mystical

    ...no they aren't - you're wrong. They are not subjective at all, they are an objective expression that creates events in real time that can be observed by anyone. ...why else do you think there is such a large tradition of them in these subjects? Your statement is implying that these are figments of ones imagination...
  8. Siddhi - The mundane is the same as the mystical

    ...Striling - it seems like you are attempting to understand this in terms or some cause-effect relationship. As if to imply and hypothesize that one cannot occur before the other... Is this your suspicion? If it is - please remember that not all people have ever experienced things in a perfectly linear way... each tradition or school probably has a focus, but that is all. There is no "grand enlightenment" that is a pre-requisite, as that word and concept doesn't mean anything if taken in this context - as to mean anything but a person resting in their own true nature. Which sounds like what you describe "enlightenment" to be. However there are the correct circumstances internally that when disposed in certain ways allow the expression of Siddhis to occur. So in other words, yes - there is a cause and effect relationship. The causal part is a combination of what oneself is, how oneself is, and how one directs ones mind.
  9. Siddhi - The mundane is the same as the mystical

    ...hey you guys... its all well and good to have a discourse, but - why not find these answers yourself? Thats what I did. Thats what I still do. The reality we live in only appears "mundane" because of ones perception, the great grandeur that is life is beyond the ability of words to describe, beyond meaning to be bound to, and beyond intellectual thought and reason to define. We are all part of the Tao. The Tao is part of all of us. The Tao is something that can be learned and understood in its phenomenal and magically miraculously appearing aspects. Even though we are capable of great things, all that matters in the end is how we treat each other. "Occult abilities are just flowers of the tao, and the beginning of all foolishness. The master rests in root and not in the flower" Verse 15: The ancient Masters were profound and subtle. Their wisdom was unfathomable. There is no way to describe it; all we can describe is their appearance. They were careful as someone crossing an iced-over stream. Alert as a warrior in enemy territory. Courteous as a guest. Fluid as melting ice. Shapable as a block of wood. Receptive as a valley. Clear as a glass of water. Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself? The Master doesn’t seek fulfillment. Not seeking, not expecting, she is present, and can welcome all things
  10. Siddhi - The mundane is the same as the mystical

    I don't work in any tradition. Only the real and true way of existence... beyond and a part of all traditions. (The Tao). What is considered uncommon siddhi? Can't answer the other questions, as I don't know what you mean by this. Examples... too many to talk about really. Sure lets private message, as I would like to know what the uncommon siddhi (enlightenment) you describe is... the word enlightenment doesn't mean much to me, as no one agrees on it and it was never a part of the ancient traditions lexicon at all. That word was invented by an Englishman.
  11. Siddhi - The mundane is the same as the mystical

    ... you sure you want to know? ... its actually very strange - I've turned $5 into $20 by the virtue of thought - a bill into a different denotational size. I've also used the mental fluid of myself to create things out of myself... that one is quite complex.
  12. The concept of God

    ...those are the greek roots of the word. The concept of "god" has not been only limited to greek culture, it has been spread throughout the world in different languages. The hindus call it "the absolute", the taoists call it "the tao", the Islams call it "Allah", magicians call it "the divine" What they all have in common is not the term used to decribe it but the general nature of it - itself. Why is this so hard to understand? If you can't read through the lines by doing intellectual inquiry into philosophy, perhaps you're not ready to understand these things. They all ascribe that it is boundless, formless, and everywhere - because it is. It is the cause of existence - permanent and unchanging, and manages existence. The taoists say it in a cool way ' "The great tao is hidden deeply in all things". it's not observable through modern physical science, a person has to reach it themself through spiritual practice. Which is what all the eastern traditions espouse.
  13. Siddhi - The mundane is the same as the mystical

    Hi There, I have experienced Siddhis through shifts and states of being as extensions of consciousness. Notable experiences include phenomenon associated to the following: Telepathy Spontaneous materialization Matter re-shaping (changing one thing into another) Prophecy Far reach of thought Energy manipulation of myself and electrical signals in the outside world. Weather magic. ...I constantly live in a state where what I think about generally has a genuine high probability of manifesting itself into my life. If I think about something or someone in an emotional way (no matter what it is) - it generally comes to me or happens to occur. Not all the time, but a lot of the time.
  14. The concept of God

    IF Y'all want to get down into it, why is it so hard? The word "divine" means cause. The causal principle. The place/thing/space that all other formed things come from to have an existence. The source of creation is all around us all the time. The tao is beyond time and space and is undiscriminating in its deepest sense - it is impersonal in the sense that it is not a "person" but it is personal in the sense that it has traits or thing by which one can know and understand it. Existence itself is ultimately it - as all life simply procreates itself moment by moment in the temporal (finite_ world through the means and mechanisms of determined law to bring about infinite forms into existence. God is the source of reality behind reality, dee within reality. Everyone and everything is always connected to it beyond their choice.
  15. The concept of God

    Nicely put... and in the rational view, chaos and disorder as described above are entirely wrong. Biological human men are born and do not contain biological organs and biology to have periods or become impregnated. The facts remain. Men are men and women are women as defined by their biology. Chaos and disorder are words to describe perceptions of life, not actual life itself. No surgery or hormonal therapy will ever fully convert a man into a woman or vice versa. People who try and distort the actual true meaning of words and facts of life have been around ever since we have existed. They are seen as heretics because they are. They hold no objective purpose besides attempting to prove themselves against what is already real, an ignorant and selfish attitude and attempt that history has shown usually loses against the actual truth that wise people embrace, know, extoll, and promote to the rest of the world. The voices of such misguided and sick people should never be taken seriously, as all they are are cries for attention and self validation from fools who mistakenly believe their own viewpoint defines existence itself. ...in case you missed it - I'm really tired of these kind of people. All they do is pollute the world with confusion and lies. Cast aside natural order? For what? So they can act all clever and run around in mental circles attempting to prove their nonsense is what. Pretty pathetic. Get a life, don't be an atheist.
