  1. So it is pure coincidence that the violence erupted after the US-led Iraqi invasion?
  2. Well it is a historical fact. US invaded, fired the whole Iraqi army which created immense hatred against the Americans and no income for many iraqis. Al-Qaeda used this to recruit Iraqis and eventually ISIS was created out of the whole mess. Yes Islamic terrorism happened before but you cannot deny American involvement. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jul/06/intelligence-files-support-claims-iraq-invasion-helped-spawn-isis
  3. Part of this problem which cannot be ignored was the invasion of Iraq by the US. Killing 500.000 Iraqis and laying the ground for ISIS. The military industrial complex in the US should also take their part of the blame for this sickness in the world.
  4. Not sure. From what I know *not talking* about it ie downplay the problem of Islam is a big part of this. At this point I would simply call for a ban on Muslim immigration in Europe. And I wouldn't care if I broke any international laws. The problem then are native Muslims who travel to Syria to get weapons training and lessons in psychopathy and then come back and start killing Europeans.
  5. Unplug from the Matrix

    The matrix is both collapsing and evolving right now. Collapsing is the centralization - government, banks. Evolving is the tech addiction and hooks into the global internet...but like The Matrix movie, hackers can take advantage of this to become free financially and spiritually.
  6. the bottom line as I see it

    Thanks, nice post.
  7. Energy stuck in the head, insanity, anger, going nuts

    I've had the same issues and it took a while before things calmed down. For a while I took long walks every day, I couldn't do mental work. Anger can also be caused by too much stress in your body, also a common sign. Healing the stress in your body is a temporary measure but can lead to more peace now and away from possible insanity.
  8. Presence Process

    The aypsite needs a login it seems, otherwise it doesn't show any content? The second link is good, amazing how one can forget such a simple process.
  9. Crypto coins without central control is probably the future. It will also mean the whole tax system will collapse. So big changes coming.
  10. Standing Rock

    From the article it is clear that they want to depict the activists as bad people and themselves as the good guys. The fake news / propaganda age has really arrived.
  11. 2 step awakening process

    Maybe someone will like this talk here http://www.en.openheart.fi/113 Contains a video on how to dissolve the sense of self.
  12. 2 step awakening process

    The selfless spacious mind is very easy to access, listen to the instructions. The volition that Stosh talks about could easily be programmed responses and you wouldn't know the difference between that and free volition which doesn't exist according to neuroscience. Even defending the sense of self could be a programmed response. Right now from the level the average human exists on there is more programming than free responses. Remaining the observer in real life or meditation lets you see that.
  13. 2 step awakening process

    Stosh according to your argument about the cat take a look at this It is a car using machine learning to do drift in a circle. So this car has memory and learns the environment and has some kind of sensory feedback. Thus the car must have a sense of self according to your theory.
  14. Science and the Future of Non-Duality

    I think it is expensive too but there are many examples with teachers charging lots of money.
  15. 2 step awakening process

    Maybe... In another dimension :-)
  16. 2 step awakening process

    So a cloud also has a sense of self because it should know where it is going? So we can include the wind and other phenomenon too.
  17. Science and the Future of Non-Duality

    From one of the videos by Jeffrey Martin one should go in the direction on more silence not arousal. This is also my feeling. His course is $2000 which I find expensive. I think such knowledge should be open for everyone and it probably will one day. Anyway there are some interesting articles here http://nonsymbolic.org/publications/
  18. Letting go of the contents of the mind

    Can a non-doer let go of the contents of the mind? Or is the letting go also seen as yet another activity?
  19. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Just the first 3 seated warm-ups from dvd #2, with 5%, 60%, 80%, 40%, 30% done 216 times are good for silencing the mind and clearing the nervous system. I think bliss can come in at the right time to show us that cynicism is a temporary state and we can reach the higher levels of constant bliss one day. I once experienced total bliss for about 6 months and yes it is beyond superficial happiness.
  20. Effort vs no-effort

    The selfing wants to destroy the selfing and thus reinforces the problem of selfing. So the solution is to see the selfing in action and the amount of habit energy invested in the process. No amount of implying can make the selfing real. It is just implying it is real.
  21. Observing thoughts ?

    Keep doing what is working for you. Sometimes we only need a simple practice.
  22. How do you heal/release your issues/fears ?

    See my signature, Magical Awakening is a system of divine tools that uses divine consciousness and energy to release blocks.
  23. Oneness Blessing (deeksha)

    Just came back from a Oneness livestream and the energy was working intensely to quiet down my frontal lobes...almost done now Last week was lots of work in the heart area. There is some strong juice in this energy, definitely recommended
  24. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    You are probably right. I am referring to the numbering Sifu Terry made in a post in this thread. Anyway it is a nice meditation. Will see how the next experience will unfold
  25. Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

    Regarding seated #3 I have been doing it lately with 216 repetitions inspired by Earl Grey's practice log. It has a deep effect each time I do it. It feels like a direct contact to spirit and I receive lots of intuitive information each time.
