Yeah tell me about it. If in doubt, go Route 1 (meaning stuff you are doing already) and do settling grounding calming exercises. Until the Moon gets lost again.

By the glint in her eye I think she likes the "dong stick" quite a lot !!!!

Starting to have quite a negative feeling about Steiner, what is the good of his endless words. What shall I do with them memorise them like an agro-spiritual robot ? What kind of teacher teaches like this, endless endless talking about countless cosmic inner outer things. This isn't teaching, it's an attempt at self-justification. Very depressing that such a man is like this. Words - ideas should be followed by 9x practical exercises. If not it is wank. If not it actually works agaisnt you. And even if you do grow the best moon potatoes in the world so what. It is only an ascension of your state of being that has any value whatsoever. So that should come first. One paragraph of talk, and then on with the wellies and into the garden for the rest of the day. And as for Saturn Mars and Moon .... he should teach how to feel them directly, not just talk. Who cares about talk. How unconscious is mankind ?

If our problem was only selfishness then it would only be extremely serious.

Okay, I'd like to see a recipe, and it better be gluten free !

Our entire society is a lie

One of the best ways is to not resist the truth. If you feel sad, just be with it and let yourself be real. If you would like to cry just cry, if angry just be angry, if happy just be happy. Joy and pain, are like day and night. How intelligent is it to always want it to be daytime ? Maybe that comes from a fundamentally fake understanding of life. How can the fake enter samadhi. People say that they are angry and they don't want to be angry, so how to get out of it ? But ... it's not true. It's a lie. They are not actually angry ... they resist their anger, and the more they resist the more hot it gets. When someone is sad - it is a problem that they struggle with .... it is not true. They are not sad. They are resisting sadness. And so it becomes depression. And then they try to "fix" it by being positive. Then they try to fake up some positive emotions. What a lie. Buddha says, "when for you seeing is just seeing, night-time is just night-time, anger is just anger" Then you are enlightened. In other words .... when you stop being fake. Fake ... fake ... fake. Then when it rains, when the rain pours down .... then .... the ground is just wet.

What are the toppings you get on PizzaTao ?

That is very true. And the best teachers provided rough seas for students, but such teachers had few students. Rough seas, plus hope, and guidance, many things are necessary. But perhaps at the end .... it's not for everyone and that is fine. Bruce Lee his formless become-like-water, that was his way of having no way, meaning having-the-way-of-no-way, meaning learning how to grow into your own tree. That is the most important learning. One way of doing it is to follow a teacher closely tirelessly until you gain great competence, and then start dismantling the system and then following yourself closely. Like a chrysalis constructed at great price, and later emerging from it. But, for most people they talk but do not take the first step, lost in words. The small concrete step. And then another small concrete step. And then another. Slowly the spring water seeps into the bedrock and something germinates. Actually such confusions of where one is creates a lot of unfortunate wastage. There is much talking over each other, but not meeting each other where we are. Trying to do too much. A small connection that is Real is worth much more than a big effort with no connection. In the end just a few small concrete examples learnt and fully received will transform. Maybe just 2 or 3 individual small events in your life, or lessons but learnt down into the bone marrow. These are responsible for the eventually flowering of a great tree. Whereas much noise and talk and chattering, is like a great pile of twigs that will never catch light and eventually is washed into the drain.

Which Shaolin practices do you do have you done, how much have you done ? Likewise with taichi /qigong ?

The humans for the most part are imitating monkeys. So what happens is that one of them is able to "realise truth" within himself, and 5 minutes later he is surrounded by many monkey people who imitate and speak in loud voices and its' a great game. Then they begin "teaching" and they have no idea of the difference between imitation and reality. This creates a world of exceptional corruption and confusion. The underlying cause is that human-monkey when he looks in the mirror does not really understand who he is, he sometimes has a feeling but not really. A human is animal++, he is not really conscious but also not really animal. And the world is a consequence of this bad situation. So, what can be done, if we know this territory what can we do that might be useful ? One thing is to read the life journeys of people. Not their teaching, but their journey. For instance of Buddha, what was he thinking and how did he choose at any point. Or Jesus, his story, what was actually happening, what was he actually doing ? People read and talk .... but they don't. They only think they read. Yan Lei a strong man and he lacks intellectual aspect, but a nice man. Be aware of your own insincerity. 1. Are you honest about your pain ? Maybe you need to be honest about how happy you are. 2. Sit in front of a mirror, try to understand what there is to understand 3. Do qigong, choose something you like, work well and patiently at it, step by step, learn how to do it 4. Humans are physical-emotional-intellectual-spiritual, all needs a daily workout, but not a stupid mind-numbing workout, great care must be take in selecting activities and then do with great joy and spirit Is the Earth flat ? It seems very unlikely as all objects you see in space are round. However it is very good to challenge yourself to prove from your own experience what you can prove from taking a walk. What do you see, and what can you deduce. It is very useful but no need to get carried away. What is it that is wrong with your life, or what would you like, what problems do you feel and so on. Specific problems have specific answers.

Hey Nungali, really thank you so much for this, I will listen to it, I love the people from this era and it's a joy to behold in my ears their humanity soulfullness and wisdom, I really am grateful for it and will listen to as much as I can. Also the narrator has a pleasant voice which is also fortunate. So are you India ? And are you a farmer ?

What was the qigong you were doing that brought about qigong deviation ?

Whats your work ?

This is very interesting but I am very surprised that they don't have more detail after thousands of years of growing on the Earth, the detail is quite light.

New Moon is no Moon. The end is the beginning. Jingo Bingo.

Hello there, how are you ? What has brought you here, and what would you like where do you wish to go ? Share a little ...

Chris Watts case .... just looked it up. There is something quite asymmetric about his eyes, but seems to have had a normal childhood. It seems very sad more than anything, they seemed quite happy for a time early on. People are under tremendous pressure and what flows through the TV is hatred and extreme arousal, in turn. Such a world takes many lives and souls.

Sorry, I can't help it .... it's the Moon-thing again .... 1. I don't know all sentient beings and frankly it's not my job I don't get ahead of myself This one here is my job and I make it so 2. Whenever I'm in the company of others I will use my gifts to the best of my abilities and will encourage others likewise 3. In my every action I stand inside my mind so it doesn't run around without me Such a powerful gift needs great care in wielding I learn more about using my gifts every day 4. Whenever I see ill-natured beings I will leave them to it as I am too small to help them Or I will help them if I am big enough and they want it Others will fill in where I cannot because it's not just about me 5. Whenever someone out of envy does me wrong I remember the truth and am undisturbed I share simplicity and peace with them 6. If someone I have helped mistreats me, so what It is not a business deal, I gave my love for free 7. In full I share love and truth with all mothers and fathers And in that sharing we are well 8. I will reconsider all these practices regularly So I can update as I grow and not get stuck in dogma

Yeah big stuff. Just had dim sum, tried the custard one was pretty good but Hoisin sauce all over the place, guess I was hungry. Other than that didn't sleep much last night was awake at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. At 705 had to wake up but ... was already awake so big confusion. Then had 25 minutes to shower shit shave and make porridge. Went alright until look in mirror and saw 5 little cuts on my neck from the shaving with little blood around them. Maybe it wasn't so alright after all. Not sure if I am fully awake or if it's still 3am. Anyway, it was the Moon, that's all I am saying.

Where did you learn Vipassana ? And were you doing Kundalini practices at the same time ? Best to just chillout, and watch funny movies. Happened to me several times like this, always think it's really bad, two weeks later laughing a lot. No explanation !

In what way does TCM prepare you for meditation ? So many saints were nobodies with nothing, just sat down one day and did it. Why you think TCM or energy work prepares for enlightenment ?

Stop doing Vipassana, you do it incorrectly. Just sit feel body do nothing at all. Go to work, work physically. Be normal, like any animal on planet, walking talking eating shitting, okay. Awakening is not self-punishment, needs intelligence and love. Read the life stories of famous teachers. Not their teaching, but their life story. Do positive things, stroke dog, help at horse farm.

Pretty incredible stuff the body and its relationship to our identity / being. A complexity barely comprehensible. Whether there is a body is another question. Whether material is meaningful or just a collective programming that we overlay on the world rather than seeing it directly another question. Many chakras are either on the surface of the body, just outside, or not connected to any organ or structure whatsoever. In all this talk of TCM and of qigong and energies, it seems to me it is just faster to get enlightened which lifts you out of the "body" and its functions permanently. TCM if you factor in the divergent channels and everything else described, well ... it is exceptionally complex. And if you truly want a solution you can forget surgery, you need a much bigger force to pull out the root of it. Examples are ZZ or spontaneous qigong where you allow other forces to clean house, or awakening where you are awakening to a higher dimension of existence and pulling it inside of the "body" structure. These are winning methods that uproot the tree of the problem.

yup
