I would do only one of these systems, Wang Liping system contains the Three Spaces practice which would dissolve boundaries of body into space. See Nathan Brine book vol 3. I doubt Damo Mitchell has reached that stage.

SM is based on transmission, I don't think the book is enough. Since you think the systems are similar I can tell you are not doing SM but just ordinary LDT meditation.

I could be wrong but dzogchen masters seem to have the MCO active and the only thing they are doing is abiding in the view. So I guess all this doing is not needed and we can finally relax after many years of doing this and that.

We still are tribal, animalistic to a degree, maybe in a 100,000 years it will be ironed out, who knows? We can work on ourselves and stop contributing to violence and teach the new generation better ways but yes, we still live in a violent world.

One exception is Flying Phoenix Qigong. I know it is marketed as a health system but my own research indicates that the qi does not inflate the 'you' and one of the emptiness meditations could possibly lead to realization of emptiness if one does it for extended periods.

True and my own finding that the Benebell Wen version can release the grasping of the body periphery can't just be done either without other work first. This version could lead to the Dao since the final result is the merging of you with the Dao which is the dissolving of feeling of 'you' in your consciousness - the universe is inside you she calls it.

Agree. Rob Coons mentions 3 different MCOs here https://immortalitystudy.gumroad.com/l/bzsdpm?layout=profile (not endorsing paid stuff but just for the sake of discussion).

I can vouch / recommend this. The group is awesome and enables release of deep stuff into realization of awareness and abiding in it on a daily basis.

Good method for yin yang harmonization and releasing the grasping of the body periphery.

Long form, 50-10-50, monk holding pearl, some Golden Lotus meds for heart. Sitting mostly 7-10 mins per med. Sometimes other meds, depending on needs.

God is just your non dual awareness. Which is the basis of our experience. When you pray for something, if you are aware it will start appearing in your awareness as 'something non tangible' in the beginning. This what the manifestation people do when they visualize their desires. As for whether there is a price. Maybe there is a price in terms of increased awareness in terms of growth or recognition that nothing is needed for being happy or content. Though I think it depends on Destiny / Ming. Since the Destiny for someone is to actually pray / want something and get it since their Life Destiny is so for them to feel whole and giving (say a life partner).

Still enjoying these meditations after 16 years of practice 😊

For some of the Golden Lotus Flying Phoenix meditations I could sense just from the breathing sequence what the meditation would do. Other times I had to do the meditation to sense what was going on in my system. Anyone with a good sensing ability can do it.

TTP exercise 1 seems to relax tension in upper back and shoulders and helped me with insomnia last night. It might help in opening up that area for MCO - I sensed increased flow there.

Well it is a theory that fighting the evil forces is better than sitting in the view of no view. Since there is no separation, releasing all aggression results in changes for humanity that can be felt tangibly. Imagine tomorrow 5 billion people held no aggression anymore, what difference that would make?

Yes

One nice moving qigong from Master Li

The pill is the Golden Elixir which is your true nature. Reality without any self, just pure abiding in awareness.

Just rest in the view of no view. In the resting bring in all sentient beings and have compassion for them. Job done.

VortexHealing has a Presence transmission which IMHO has the same quality of abiding in awareness / true nature. No religion required here just a number of paid courses. Once you have the transmission you can do it on your own and no teacher is required. I like human teachers though, at least sometimes 😊

I am reading this book King, Warrior, Magician, Lover as part of my work in therapy and I found it very helpful in recognizing unhealthy patterns in my psyche. Probably there are equivalents for the female archetypes. I feel the spiritual bypassing is enormous in the old traditions of Buddhism and Taoism. They simply have too little insight into the psyche and poor understanding of what bad upbringing and childhood trauma can do in terms of crippling the development of a healthy adult ego. Especially buddhism which just tries to suppress or annihilate the personal self. Very unhealthy. A combination of spirituality and personal ego work will work wonders on achieving a silent mind and healthy, sung qi.

Nothing extreme if you are actually interested https://tricycle.org/magazine/what-went-wrong-tibetan-sex-abuse/ Took less than 1 sec to Google? No basis? Maybe you should mind your words.
