  1. Meditation makes you dull

    You don't need to listen to the religious people that tell you that you should only enjoy the holy things. Enjoy the holy things AND the things of regular life. At least that's what I do. We all make our own choices.
  2. good guys finish last

    I love being nice. I also love being dominant. So I'm nice, but when the opportunity to be dominant without forcing it comes up, I will always take it. People like this. Let them be dominant sometimes, but you be dominant too. It's equality, yet we still get to stroke our ego.
  3. good guys finish last

    Be a nice guy but also assert yourself as dominant sometimes. Seems to be working for me.
  4. Piss drinking question

    hold up. why the fuck do you guys drink piss?????
  5. The nature of being

    Well I was meditating daily but since I've felt like I really understood I haven't been meditating much. I just haven't felt like it. I should more though! And what do you mean by "using skills in kundalini reiki to begin gathering heaven and earth qi?"
  6. The nature of being

    Ok, well had a little thought on being I thought I would share. Ok, let's start off with something simple. Something cannot come from nothing. Ok. Well there is existence. What does that mean? Either being has always been, or it came into existence from something other than being. But what is other than being? Non-being. And non-being, by its very nature, does not exist. Therefore it cannot be the cause of being. Therefore, there must have always been. Now, all things that come into existence based on certain conditions are impermanent. That means almost everything. Being is not one of those things, as it can have no cause. But basically all things that you can see are based on conditions and therefore impermanent. What is a cause of all things? Being. Being is the cause. If being is the cause, then it must be impermanent, for it has a cause and is therefore based on conditions. So all things are impermanent, minus being and the nature of it. But yet all things are, and therefore are "being," for nothing can be and yet not be. But yet being is permanent and things are impermanent. So how can being be permanent, but yet all things that are as a result of being are impermanent? You see the two natures of existence. First is permanence. Existence is permanent. Yet all things that existence makes up are impermanent. Therefore, being is permanent, yet the nature of that permanence is the impermanence of the things that makes it up. comprende?
  7. fusing souls or ascension?

    I think I know what you're talking about. Like your counterpoint? She/he/whatever is everywhere. Seriously. You just have to find and pick what manifestation you want.
  8. True Self

    It's impossible to lose. You can just create the illusion of losing your true self, but really no thing exists other than your true self.
  9. True Self

    lol. I don't think anything exists other than the complete truth. But whatever, it's just words anyways
  10. On the path

    If you think that "regular" humans are filth then you're certainly no sage.
  11. True Self

    Within any given thing is everything. That is why I say name and form is the complete truth. And yet it is not the complete truth, for the complete truth knows no bounds.
  12. True Self

    The complete truth is beyond name and form, and yet the complete truth IS name and form. If i'm understanding you correctly, I certainly agree that many people who see the truth in buddhism and such get caught in the religion, thinking that it's absolute truth, and thus separate themselves from the truth. As for your last statement, I don't understand what you mean about exclusivity being more important than the teachings. Unless you're saying that "what is" AKA everything is more important than any given teaching, for any given teaching is only one angle of the truth.
  13. True Self

    Everything is the truth. And yet because it's all true, none of it is true. It's just so funny how perfect it is.
  14. True Self

    Those who desire to debate should debate. Those who don't shouldn't. For me, I no longer allow myself to be involved in conflicts. I no longer care to make people see it my way. I will help those who believe I can help them with my ideas or whatever, but those who don't like what I have to say I just let them find their own way. Debate implies that I have something to offer that they don't have themselves. I don't. I can, however, be useful if you like what I have to say and are open to it. But I don't go out of my way to make people see my way.
  15. Robert Bruce wants you!

    I downloaded his PDF on astral projection. I read some of it, but stopped before I really got into anything. I may get reading it again soon, thanks in part to this thread lol
