It may be helpful to not think of a void as an absence, or nothingness, but as the very essential substance of life. So reaching the "void" may better be viewed as when one owns being is refined and refined, until your essence is the same as the deep substance of life.

If you stop practicing, will you slowly become reconditioned?
Ish replied to woodcarver's topic in Daoist Discussion
Can i ask what lineage/teacher you learn from Hagar? Unless it's private. -
Success in life. What is this? Has it anything to do with being happy?
Ish replied to thelerner's topic in General Discussion
The way I see it, If you want to live in society and support yourself, you have to have some kind of income. Honestly, it's annoying, but i think you just gotta put in those 8 hours and learn to find some enjoyment out of it. I don't think even the most boring job has to be soul sucking though. I guess one way to look at it is everything you find annoying/difficult about the 9-5 is a cultivation working on your character... why does xyz irritate me? can i rise above it? Otherwise if you don't want to work the standard 9-5, got to find some alternative way to get some income. Maybe you have some creative stuff you can try marketing? Its tough though... and going through all the rigmorale of getting jobs and working is really annoying for me personally, but i think it just has to be done. -
Western medicine - what doesn't it know about energy?
Ish replied to SecretGrotto's topic in General Discussion
Perhaps not what you're asking for, but: Placebo effect? How do they explain that. -
Recently i've been naturally waking up around 4-6, getting up to do some practice... then going back to bed for a few hours. I do assume it's better to just get up fully though!

It was mentioned earlier in the thread - awareness in deep dreamless sleep. Has anyone experienced that? Its something ive seen in multiple traditions/practices. Personally, lucid dream/ awareness in dreams is very common for me but ive never exp. It in deep sleep.

Gift of The Uncharted Voyage Toward the Subtle Light
Ish replied to Daeluin's topic in General Discussion
Cool stuff! thanks -
Saw this a little while back... Pretty foul . They even filmed this lady & guy as they happily scoop the stuff out of the sewer.. no doubt knowing what it's going to be used for.

Well there is such thing as healthy ego in my opinion. Like feeding ourselves, drinking, washing etc all could be seen as egoic but its natural and healthy... If one can defend oneself without anger or hate, and in doing so stop the other person from harming others (including you) and themselves, that could be seen as a healthy action of ego too.

He's super hands on huh? I wonder if he gets much energy "kickback" from that. Maybe he knows how to handle it well.

Yeah we got some cool insight into RVing so i guess should leave the topic to RVing now.

Well many of those threads are about legitimate queries, just because something is about sexual energy doesn't mean its "dirty" or juvenile. It's actually a pretty important topic for cultivation. Though i will agree that some of the threads in your list are a bit silly. (like this one should be in off-topic IMO )

Maybe . But lets say, The healer is at the top of their field and offers a complete comprehensive service and plan to overcome the patients serious problem (will have to involve patient self-effort after treatments) . Due to the commitment and investment from the patient they do exactly what is required. If that's what's needed to completely change someones life, then maybe charging a lot isn't absolutely wrong.

Energy Drinks & Zazen: The secret formula or impending doom?
Ish replied to woodcarver's topic in Healthy Bums
Hold on, you lost me, what is "reality" ? -
Daeluin does bring up a good point, i think. At the end of the day, the healing (especially maintaining the healing afterwards) is up to oneself. If one has the motivation to shell out 1000 dollars then they will probably be much more committed to this... (or just rich ) So I think there is some merit to charging a lot (for some patients mentalities) , but you do have to be extra careful that they aren't just a fraud.

So what kind of planes do you guys think are tapped into with lucid dreaming? Sub-conscious / Astral? Are those two linked ?

Stepping up the Qigong Master healing experience for you!
Ish replied to voidisyinyang's topic in General Discussion
Fantastic talk @ http://sfqguild.com/, i really enjoyed the stories and advice . thanks for posting. -
in my experience, if an energy is above your own frequency - it's limited to how much you can feel it. So that could be the case with some situations. Perhaps feel which system resonates best for you and give it a go by itself for a few months or so. Then you might see if there's any improvements over practicing both at the same time.

The founder , Tian Ruisheng, was pretty interesting. I heard that he passed away a while back... but a site also says that he "disappeared" in 1995. Anyone have any more info?

Well, Obama didn't do it so i don't see why you have to, if you don't want .

How bout this for a deep horse stance
-
That's a pretty narrow horse stance for going that low I would recommend you try a wider base so that the knees don't go over the toes.
