    I read texts from 1800-1900, or ancient Greek, compared to today those texts seem far superior, more dignified/ higher in thought than the trash peddled today as "progressive", lacking emotional and intellectual development - that primary school texts decades ago were more advanced than university texts today. I have seen videos of chimpanzees out performing some people in memory tests ha. Judeo Christianity made things pretty miserable for awhile so we are moving out of that somewhat...and just as we are they flood Europe with Islam, interesting no? it's like international finance want to keep people in a perpetual dark age. That of itself was a fall. We are still struggling to figure out how the Pagan ancients achieved some of the feats they did. Doesn't make things easier when you have the religions of Abraham burning everything to the ground in their religious mania.

    The Confucian’s viewed primordial times as period of starvation, of violence and wilderness, to loosely paraphrase and translate Levi (1982), contrasted to the Daoist view of a golden-age of uncontrived Eden-like bliss. “Zhuangzi praises that idyllic age with these words: ‘Spirits and gods show their good will and nobody dies before his time’” (Levi 1982). This is anathema to the Confucian view that it took a civilizing divine-potentate to rescue humanity from it’s own ignorance and helplessness in a brutal wilderness. This expresses a fundamental cosmological orientation that is the foundation for much of the social movements in China, perhaps even into modern times. “Ancient man imbibed dew” and “fed on primordial breath and drink harmony” and ate not the toilsome, vulgar crops of the red dust that are exemplified in the Five Sacred Grains (wu ku). https://sites.google.com/site/delawareteasociety/yoked-to-earth-a-treatise-on-corpse-demons-and-bigu

    Nah, everyone knows now when the left want "tolerance" it's only to push their agenda as far as possible, or their "tolerance" becomes terrorism, as instructed and carried out by Communist leaders throughout history.
     

    “We will turn our hearts into steel, which we will temper in the fire of suffering and the blood of fighters for freedom. We will make our hearts cruel, hard, and immovable, so that no mercy will enter them, and so that they will not quiver at the sight of a sea of enemy blood. We will let loose the floodgates of that sea. Without mercy, without sparing, we will kill our enemies in scores of hundreds. Let them be thousands; let them drown themselves in their own blood. For the blood of Lenin and Uritsky, Zinovief and Volodarski, let there be floods of the blood of the bourgeois - more blood, as much as possible.”
     

    Excerpt from an interview with Felix Dzerzhinsky published in Novaia Zhizn on 14 July 1918.
     

    “We stand for organized terror - this should be frankly admitted. Terror is an absolute necessity during times of revolution. Our aim is to fight against the enemies of the Soviet Government and of the new order of life. We judge quickly. In most cases only a day passes between the apprehension of the criminal and his sentence. When confronted with evidence criminals in almost every case confess; and what argument can have greater weight than a criminal's own confession.”
     

    Excerpts from V.I. Lenin, “The Lessons of the Moscow Uprising” (1906)  Keeping in mind the failure of the 1905 revolution, Lenin argued that it was imperative for an even more ruthless application of force in the pursuit of overthrowing the Tsar’s regime.

    DSCB57 "I see no real need to respond to your jibe. If you are interested, then check out my other posts. If that is all you have gleaned, then that is your problem, I am not going to reduce myself to your level. You sound rather pompous and conceited to me. I wish you well."

    I was just making things clearer for you

    I have seen a few of your threads and posts in them, nothing beyond the ordinary/ general discussions here, I see no indication of attainments, the mushroom experience I found interesting. If something is of greater value here it typically generates a number of likes. Your posts so far are no more brilliant than mine :D

    You said yourself the mushroom experience was the most extraordinary of your life, desiring to reach that again?

    It is not difficult to share ones experiences. No need to be unpleasant ha, if you haven't had other experiences it's okay :P

    I would say one of my more profound experiences was being infinite space, no plants etc :P

    I just typed "experience of infinite space" to see what this is, apparently a "formless realm samadhi absorption" hm :D didn't know http://www.meditationexpert.com/meditation-techniques/m_yoga_meditation_technique_cultivating_samadhi_of_infinite_space.html

    How good am I :D haha

    Lucid dreaming can be really fun though, who doesn't like to fly? You've experienced better of your own will? as you indicate?

    Yes I am proud and grandiose :D

    This is one sharp fox :) Thank you

    That mantra (also spoken as Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Pema Siddhe Hung) is from Tibetan Buddhist doctrine and it is precisely what I was talking about in another post. You are taking refuge in the Lama as the Guru. This really has nothing to do with authentic Buddha Dharma, and is nowhere near as powerful as the simple 6 fold mantra Om Mani Padme Hum (not Hung as pronounced by Tibetan Buddhists). Not surprising then that all it did was provide you with the sort of experience you describe. But then again if you are happy with lucid dreaming then each to his own.

    Lucid dreaming is a separate practice

     

    As I said short practice (mantra), less than a week :P my intention isn't guru worship it is to become a Mahasiddha, it's an aspiration. Similar to young sports person putting images of their favorite athletes on their walls etc, they are working toward that. It's an example of attainment/ excellence. 

     

    Each sound has it's own meaning, I will leave others to find the meaning of each if they wish.

     

    What have you attained other than putting a psychedelic mushroom in your mouth?

     

    As with sports again, intention is the first step, then training/ exercise/ discipline

     

    If people have no intention/desire they wouldn't being doing anything, what would there be to chant/ meditate in the first place?

     

    What most here want to become?

    A short practice years ago with 108 mala

    Ayurvedic_Fire_Mala_108_Mala_Beads_Buddh

    OM AH HUM BENZA GURU PEMA SIDDHI HUM



    I would say 108 x 2-3 the mind becomes still, once experiencing myself somewhat removed watching the space inside me spinning around? I recall asking here what that was, none seemed to know *shrugs*

    Also saying this mantra combined with candle gazing, after 2 nights a lucid dream

    Oct 02 2015 - 15 minutes fire gazing with Padmasambhava Mantra playing in background + afternoon sun-gazing.

    Dream:@ high-school rugby practice, later going to the locker room, I opened my locker and it was full of different pictures of foxes I turned around and a teacher/ presence appeared (not from the school) wearing a type of robe, brief discussion I recall 'you should meditate for 2 hours a day' and turned around and seemed to glide away, 2 others standing each side of the teacher... thinking/feeling maybe a fox deity, unsure.

    ~~~

    My practice has to become more serious ha :P ... I start and get sidetracked

    I think it can lead to enlightenment, If you want enlightenment you will find it sooner or later. I think everything is desire. There are healthy and unhealthy desires, some earthly and some divine.

    Say I wanted to lucid dream, I read some things on it, practiced it, experienced it and started to develop it :)
