Thanks I will take your advice. As to where got this practice i just thought it up after watching some documentaries.

So first thing has anyone heard that steven seagal the actor is a tulku.

This is a funny mad tv skit about the tv show kung fu.

Now is where I would like your help. Right now I am trying to do some pyrokinesis and I have yet to actually light stuff on fire. My practice goes as follows.

I imagine a fire in my stomache and when I breath in the fire gets bigger and when I breath out the fire goes through my body and to my hand after some time I imagine my hand as a hot coal. While doing this I say a mantra that sounds like EEEEEEEEEEE. I have been abile to warm my boddy up to the point where I was sweating, I have only done this for about 5 minutes at a time. So what do you guys think, any suggestions would be much aperciated.

Thanks

I gets my edumacation and i aint not no dummy. So far i have yet to get my ged but am working on it.

I am 19 years old.

In my mind at least Hinduism shares some words with Buddhism, like dharma and karma. And Buddhism and Taoism are close so, Hinduism relates to Taoism.

good ones.

Here is what wikipedia says on the subject.

I can find very little on the actual diagnosis of asp. or autism. There must be a fine line between a shy, withdrawn child and a mild case. Lack of social skills and empathy, taking things literally and so on are indicators but many people exhibit those to some degree.

 

I am interested in how someone comes to be confirmed as having one of these conditions. In particular I am thinking about how altered consciousness could look like these conditions. For instance extreme introversion could well be a feature of someone living as a hermit or undergoing some levels of cultivation. Literalness could arise when altered conscious from meditative techniques changes how you see everyday situations. As the 'social' world is all about conventions and protocols for behavior then doing away with these could be a stage in spiritual growth. It is possible that people with these conditions are viewing the world from heightened/altered states - that it is not really a disease at all. Perhaps its simply that they somehow become stuck in one place and loose the flexibilty to adapt to what everyone else expects.

 

What do you think?

That is a very interesting idea. I really like that idea.

As for diagnosis this is more for an IEP Individualized Eduaction Plan there are these series of tests that they give you they are called the W.I.A.T. test.

I am not sure but I think they give you a test related to the DSM I could be wrong on that one though.

So acording to wikipedia this charecter is resembles a zen master. I would have went with more of an african shaman.

But I was wondering If you guys knew of any eastern religious or thought in pop culture. Lets exclude kung fu and avatar I would like to get more varied.

Well I have not worked with people with ASD or Apergers specificaly but I have been diagnosed with Aspergers. I will be glad to help in any way I can.

Have you tried this place? I is a forum and comunity for people with ASD and Aspergers.

Well in posting this question i was trying to find out what thet new age movement was all about mabye a better question would have been what is right about the new age movement? or just what is the new age movement all about? Thanks for all of your replies.

So it seems at least to me that people dont like the new age movement. I was wondering what is wrong with it and what are the thought on this board about it?

So I was wondering what the concencus on aliens was here, like do you guys think they exist?

Has this video been posted here before?

Also what are the eastern religions views on aliens?

My dog Candy had to be put to sleep please pray for him.

Also I was wondering if someone could explain to me what buddhist and taoist thought on pets are, like will I be reunited with him in the after life?

Well what i was trying to see with this topic is where the religions originated from and some of the similaritys but through some research i finally understand that all religions are the same. Thanks for helping.

So I was wondering if we could try and make a family tree out of religions? Like try and trace it back to its source.

So I was thinking and I had this thought. Do you think it would be possible to make a weapon like a sword or a staff out of chi?
