shhhhhh its the horse whisperer.

Neigh, neigh, surely not.

I don't think we should bridle at the comments given we were saddled with the responsibility.

Are you saying you wish people would stop horsing around?

Being mindful of the climate crisis we were trying to minimize the carbon footprint by limiting flamage.

Go and sit by the naughty gate. Bad boy.

I am the blaze on every hill, I am the queen of every hive, I am the speaker of every speech, I am the sower of every seed.

Very bad yesterday but seems a bit better today.

How about one but in red?

First thing to say is that neidan or alchemy is not therapy. So generally before undertaking any serious work like this (or similar other systems) you first have to put your house in order. This means getting your daily life in good order and yourself in a good general state of health. While doing qi gong or similar with a healthy eating and exercise routine will be good - you can't use straong energetic techniques to sort out your habits. This is why you can't maintain a consistent routine and keep falling back. It is not good if you are making yourself tense and low energy. I would suggest that you try to regulate porn use progressively. So set yourself a target of so many days abstention ... then lengthen the time progressively until you have made it manageable. Also rather than trying just to eliminate the negative - build up positive qualities like physical health and fitness - as you feel better from this you may find that you are less inclined to use porn. Look also at your mental fitness and your relationships. See the whole thing as a project to get yourself from dependence to freedom. I think there are sites specifically about getting out from porn addiction if you google around. I'm not in your age group so I can't really suggest anything else. I'm sure you will deal with this if you set your mind to it.

I was just thinking ... clothes horse and fire ... can we use this???

Hi It is time to change the image on the header for the new year ... to Fire Horse. If you have a suitable image please submit it or a link to it in the next few days. @liminal_luke will arrange for the artwork based on the best image- NB. My little pony is probably not what we are looking for

There’s no need to apologize but I think that people who read the threads benefit from being able to follow the conversation. If you delete posts it makes it very hard to follow what’s going on and also less interesting/ enjoyable. Perhaps if you post something and later change your mind, you could self quote the post and make a comment/ correction.

Nungali can’t reply because he is currently manifesting in my living room.

Maybe just stop the habit of posting then deleting. Think first and post after.

On another matter

I dreamed you were going to delete that.

I like two but I now think one is probably better ( cos Cobie said so lol ).

Ah! Yes I meant mental of course lol

I have had what I call luminous dreams (which is just a name I give them not a significant claim) where the dreams are especially bright and also stay with you - you don't forget them like ordinary dreams. They are always very significant and meaningful. But most of my dreams are just rather confused and full of my own metal stresses and concerns. The luminous dreams seem to contain messages which last and are guidance for long periods of time. I've had quite a few pre-cognition dreams where I dream about things which later come true (sometimes many years later). This proves to me that time is not linear and that all that happens to us is interconnected. I think that to rest one's consciousness in the pristine consciousness itself is quite an achievement in itself. But as a goal it is limited as it presents as a separate state - so it is prone to abstraction and negation of life and the world. But it is part of something more complete. That more complete thing engages both the subtle and physical body - and this is where the 'work' is. Whether you work through dreams or not, or through meditation and other processes, there is a task to be undertaken. I think mahamudra and dzogchen do have a fault in that this task is disguised in a lot of talk of resting in the natural state etc. which is very misleading if not fully understood. I am big fan of Karma Pakshi's three kaya model where you engage with consciousness itself, the subtle body and the physical body to form the svabhaivika kaya - but that's a whole other story.

I always assumed that the basis of chiropractic therapy was to shout ‘cheer up’ in a very loud voice until the patient runs out of the room in panic. Cheer-up-practy!
