  1. Time for some light relief?
  2. Some of you may get this (Part II)

    Yes, yes, yes!
  3. Eastern secret societies

    Well I'm not a mason so I wouldn't know if they had any cultivation techniques. I think all the understanding and symbolism does 'point' but I figure spontaneous enlightenment is probably rare. I figure for most people it's a gradual awakening and even then many people still miss the point.

    A OK here's the front door key but I want you home by midnight! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castor_and_Pollux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(mythology)

    That sounds twisted or is that just my deviant mind? But then again perhaps it's all our deviant mind!
  6. I thought everything was all love and bliss so how did we get here? Lets all just chill. Because I'm not sure if any of you know what I know but maybe I don't know anything and maybe none of you know anything but we're all trying to understand love and bliss aren't we? No we're all trying to experience it. Lets all kiss and move on up.
  7. raw milk article

    "I, the snow lioness who stays in snowy solitudes, Have milk which is like the essential nectar. In the absence of golden cups, I would not pour it in an ordinary vessel." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowlion#Snow_Lioness_Milk Sounds about right.
  8. Whereas I completely agree I do also believe that sometimes it's better to be up your own rather than someone else's!
  9. For the Kunlun practitioners

    As they say the plot thickens!
  10. Yes but you might be if you had experienced the 24hours of agony I felt back in January and the subsequent three weeks to recover. Swords of fire, thunder bolts etc. No fear and as a warrior I fought and won the battle.
  11. But isn't enlightenment the meeting of the two in the heart of the one? You see this seems to come back to all this stuff about hot and cold religions which is the error of religion and much philosophical thought. What about the flow? The flow is the way agreed? We are the vehicle so therefore yin and yang flow through us yet we are one when we move with them/it. There's no real up or down because duality is always only apparent i.e. Maya. The real energy is in the heart and the Trikaya brings enlightenment when the mirror is cleaned.
  12. All the more reason to be careful doing Kunlun and other energy cultivation systems. Hmm spontaneous combustion!
  13. Got Ego?

  14. "The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust them; it was not IN them, it only came THROUGH them, and what came through them was longing. These things-the beauty, the memory of our own past- are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune which we have not heard, news from a country we have not visited." ~C S Lewis~
  15. About that sadness

    You girls are so sweet. Much love.
  16. new kunlun book

    .
  17. Is David Bowie an enlightened one?

    Err what final goal.
  18. Got Ego?

    You are so much more than dust.
  19. Got Ego?

    Yes very cool. Now let's just cut through the shit and get down to it!
  20. Is David Bowie an enlightened one?

    I figure (know) that David is quite a high level Bodhisattva. Pretty obvious when you consider that he can do whatever he wants, but he keeps teaching. Very close to being the 'great man/woman'? Yes at least a great 'man'! <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
