It's static, but like I said I took that screenshot as he's settling in. It's part of 3 static postures to open up channels, which include breathing techniques, they come from Master Huang from the Beijing Army Hospital who was a qigong doctor. It's on MW's QE4 DVD, bone breathing and rooting.

I feel sympathy for Assange ... but his mouth is very big and he pushed much too much, which is not intelligent and serves little purpose. Now he will suffer.

Interesting information. I myself use the posture to be in touch with old emotions. I took a quick screenshot but it was as he was settling into the posture at the start. MW also describes breathing vertically up and down the central channel.

Understanding is truly blissful and peaceful and magnificent.

But one thing is clear to me, that Jesus is unknown. Because the people of the Earth know not the day. Neither do they even know the hour. Humans see everything except the depth of their dis-orientation.

he said that this adulterous and sinful generation asks for a sign but will get nothing but the sign of Jonah wide is the gate and broad the road to a headache destruction he said no-one comes to the Father but through me he said he came not to destroy the covenant (Mosaic law) but to fulfil (follow) it he said that the seed that falls on the farmers' path is trampled under foot and eaten by the birds of the air; and also that one should not law pearls before swine or they will trample it under foot and turn and rend you

Can anyone experience the blood ? Can anyone experience qi rising from the blood ? And say something about it to help us also experience it ?

The up and down, manic and then self sabotage ... this is a common pattern. It will not be easy to "find balance" when this is inside you. That's why I put up the IFS stuff, which is a way to understand the different parts of you, one an upper, one a downer etc... and then heal all that stuff. And there are many other techniques doing the same thing.

Well there are animals and plants to begin with. What do they represent ? And the celestial objects. And if you look into the eyes of a "person" you will see that what is inside is not necessarily the same from one to the other. And that's before you even get in to "what's out there".

I really like Cohen for Zhan Zhuang. But yeah, I frequently roll eyes at the slow mo "applications" from a great many teachers, which are ludicrous usually. I remember I was a short 13 year old when my schools gigantic violent swimming instructor demonstrated on me what it was like to be choked by an anxious swimmer, during a sea rescue drill. He put me in a nelson choke hold and asked me to get out of it. Actually I reached up and ripped his little finger out and got straight out. Ha, fuck you. ( this is generally my attitude ) He was about twice my height and 3 times my weight. Then he did it again, this time concealing is fingers. But ... I think very few people practicing these arts actually intend to become fighters, do they ? Fighting is damn dangerous, you could die any second. Few people are really intending to fight. So the "applications" are a way of introducing some feeling at least of facing another person, it has some small merit. And in terms of who is better at killing, MMA vs TaiChi ? Well what about MMA vs TaiChi vs Submachine gun ? So ... shall we all head down the riffle range and forget about these Chinese Arts ? I think they have a lot of value, but learning to kill perhaps is not the main point. Internal development is the main point. The relationship between good internal development and real fighting skill and art ... is an open question. For instance you can learn to kill in MMA, like a meathead, and then what ? And what are you going to do in the pub if someone spills your pint, are you going to wrap your legs around them and sit on their face in the middle of the pub whilst you try to organise an armbar ? Somehow it's not going to look cool. And it doesn't mean you develop your dantien does it, or enter immortality. A lot of those teachers up there are total morons its true. Another thing is the huge negativity humans vomit on each other, it's like a fashion the whole species has adopted. How to hate each other professionally. It's hard to continue with what you are doing when people are queuing up to tell you it's no good, that you are stupid, that it would never work etc... Really it's not good. People should do what they want to do, who knows what they can find in any arts. It's up to you to make it happen. Why do people do things that are not good for them ? Why haven't they developed their own intuitive sense of life, of what is good and bad, or worthwhile, all based on their own experience of reality ? Answer : probably because since they were born they encountered a humanity queuing up to tell them off, tell them right and wrong ... and after a while they just gave up using their own intelligence.

- you could film yourself doing it - when I feel there is a danger of being mis-aligned then I change things up to get out of any stuckness, either : > more relax, more dissolve > BK Frantzis dissolving on that point, or other techniques working on the area > BK Frantzis cloud hands, i.e. gentle movements to open things up > asymmetric postures (left and right), to open things up > silk reeling i.e. gentle movements to open things up as for proper alignment .... one way of doing it is with more spontaneous in it ... allowing the body to vibrate move jerk more ... and hold less structure

What is a human being, does he have a soul ? If you look at a human, with bright coloured jeans and personalised hair, it looks very individual, doesn't it. But when you see a crowd of them together you realise this individuality is just part of a group fashion, it is not individual at all ... it is the song and style that is popular with the anthill right now. A real individual is rare. They ... real individuals ... are not individual as part of a fashion. They have their own essence and substance. And they are considered very dangerous by the anthill, which lives through protecting the group. So, becoming an individual is difficult, and rare. So who has a soul ? The good news is everyone has a soul, just of different types. A human in general is part of the collective-human-soul. And an individual (awakened being) has a personal soul. His soul is individuated. Immortality in the body ? Which body ? Do you really want to make the shitting farting-ing halatosis body immortal ? Is that really a good idea ? Even if you could do it, it's not such a great place to live. Plus, there are many tricks of all sorts you can perform in this mortal-imaginary world, and people often chase these tricks ... and do not save their souls. They become full of energies and powers etc... but they .... well it's like King Midas. The halo, as an image, is a new body that is created and which is individuated, it is the soul-body. When the physical body dies, the halo remains, it is a body in a "higher" world, in the absolute world, rather than the relative changing earth plane. The "halo" may be small or may be the same size (roughly speaking) as the physical body. It may be non visible, or may at times be visible depending on the being. If you listen very carefully to old saints sages and gurus, you will notice that their perspectives change as they get older ... they become very much less interested in the body and powers and all that .... and wish to simply rest in the mind of god and reach final peace. Even though often when they were young they were powerful beings with energies and excitement ... but it all goes one way. Not that you can't gain powers .... but the real power is to be Real, and after that all the games seem smaller. Anyway as for Aurobindo .... I would also like to see his practices.

Anyway. Brexit, whatever happens, is just part of mankind's special bullshoot that knows no end. What is good is to know some truth that can help you, and to stop staring at the theatre of idiots, instead lead your own life out of the swamp. And to this end I have recently been very happy to discover Thomas Sowell, who talks a goodly amount of sense. And it's better to get your own life moving than to wait for tm to do it for you ... she has her own misery she is busy with. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=thomas+sowell

I was asking myself what would happen if in a few years time a facility opened in HK (somewhere) where you could plug yourself in and live in a vat like on lifesupport. And you would enter a "world", just like in the movie the Matrix. My question was, would anybody do it ? And my sense was that a sizeable number of people would do it. And this gave me quite a bad feeling about the future.

In 6 months time after some dramatic late night struggles, tm will give a very sombre and heartfelt resignation speech under the night sky at Downing Street where she will say that she had "done everything I could" but that Brexit could not be delivered, and shedding half of one tear under the left eye get into the limo and drive off. And so achieve her original subconscious intention, to become the world's greatest martyr having been crucified for our sins.

Humans seem unable to comprehend what is happening "inside". They know what is happening outside, but in fact the inside is not visible. And I am very much afraid that the destruction of empires is directly related to the low level of the human consciousness. Basically the blindness is simply part of the human consciousness, hence "you know not the day, nor even the hour". For instance, I was asking myself yesterday, why can't people feel "what is good" ? Why don't people know what is good for them ? In our society people should be able to feel what is good, but it is awash with Hollywood feelings transmitted by the media. People are copying/replaying these feelings, and like sugar they wash through the society until the simple good of your own feelings are heavily masked. Like if you eat a lot of sugar and simple nutritious food is not clear to you. This is why in the Bible it says not to eat leavened foods ... rich foods damage your sensitivity and lead to daydreaming and not feeling reality. Likewise with thought. Our society is awash with thought, normally of very low level, until such point people really don't have much experience of clear constructive grounded systematic thought leading to action. Instead they are sprayed with countless ideas through the media until they thinking is of a low quality. Again sugar. Because so many humans are caught in these things it is like living in a world of drunks, and it strongly affects you. Pulling you in. And society goes in seasons, in some seasons everyone is drunk, in others every dry. At the same time because there is so much sugar thought and sugar emotion flying around people act like everything is "just great". And they tend to take great pleasure in destroying the wisdom of the past, pulling down institutions and re-writing history, and anything else that pricks their fragile sense of themselves. Once they have damaged all the institutions that are actually responsible for many good things ... then they will feel very very pleased with themselves. These people become the agents of the destruction, and we have to forgive them because they know not what they do, and for them it is the right thing to do ... it makes sense for them given where they are at. Another tack : society is composed of two kinds of people. Those that will attack any new ideas, because they threaten their slender handholds on reality. And those that wish to grow, which are few. And these two sides are in mortal war with each other. And at the same time humans are not here "just like this". We are transforming energy like plants photoshynthesise, and so there are external rules as well that have more to do with the processes of life on earth and its energy transformation ... than with any wish on our part. We are also subject to external rules. I also recently learned that about 15,000 years ago the skulls of humans were much larger (CroMagnon/Neanderthal) and I happen to know that this likely made humans more conscious back then ... not because of brain weight, but because more chakras were within the skull and so easier to feel. And this change to reduce the size of humans may have resulted in "the fall of man". At least that would be a hard biological reason for such an idea. And it is also true that ... the next phase of evolution after animal is not angel, but is animal-plus. And in our case the plus is not very big, and so it is just quite painful and disastrous, half blind creatures who can't be animals but can't be anything else, alternately building and then destroying themselves. Nevertheless I believe most of the main spiritual traditions work ... if you actually follow them, which few people do. But there are a lot, so it can't be said that help is far away.

Positive news

Yes desperate, whilst obsessing with indulgences. "You cannot get enough of what you don't need". Happened to watch this this morning. ( >> still in other quarters there is fightback )

Lam Kan Chuen made that fantastic teaching documentary, with beautiful music, interesting interviews and poetry, I always really liked it, and his books are also very good. But ... his ever smiling face and "balloons" puts me off. Credit where it's due though.

Well ... active thinking is not taking place inside you, that's for sure !!! Anyway, I have sympathy for the views you put forward which are traditional, but wrong. Nevertheless like Alan Watts you might still be in the right place even as you repeat nonsense from the past. Let's hope you are.

To whom? Well when a pilot is landing the plane and the passengers are sleeping - who is thinking actively ? The pilot, obviously. Isn't that obvious. Meditation is taught variously by different schools, in Advaita for instance and also many Indian traditions, the teaching is extremely intellectual detailing the various inner processes in unending technical detail. How do you know what to do when you sit ? You know because you have been taught what to do, i.e. you now hold in your intelligence concepts with which to guide yourself. For instance in Vipassana you have details of how to assess the reality of your structure, and also a reasoning for that, based on the metaphysics of existence. In other traditions like in Zen they have the concept of non-doing. But how do you know you are non-doing ? You have to asses your inner state whilst sitting, and assess whether it is non-doing - if it is not then you must let go of the last piece of doing. So it is clear that meditation is taught with a heavy degree of conceptualisation. During sitting practice this allows you to practice correctly and identify a higher reality.

Again, you don't differentiate between daydreaming and thinking actively. Which means only one thing. You only have daydreaming.
