Their unbalance.

No,...your object-ivity is preventing you from grasping the message. For example, Wu Chi, the Great Source, which exists beyond form and emptiness, and from which form and emptiness extends, possesses no energy. Wu Chi is the Tao in stillness, and T’ai Chi is the Tao in motion. Ki is synonymous with undivided, still light. Some philosophies suggest that Ki can be accessed through three points. Hapkido practitioners are primarily interested in the danjun point, which is located about nine centimeters below the navel. The thymus and pineal area are the other Ki points, which can be activated through Ki practices, such as Reiki and Sunyata. Many often limit their understanding of Ki or Chi by calling it energy. Ki is not an energy; it’s a stillness. There is no energy in stillness, although we could refer to Ki-related energy. T’ai Chi is a moving meditation that allows an unimpeded circulation of energy from the still point of Ki. Ki itself is a still silence that is similar to the eye of a hurricane or typhoon. The kihap or yell that martial artists use, when done correctly, is simply the exhale, or a place where the still eye of the hurricane meets the eye wall of the storm and manifests physical destruction. The greatest power arises through the greatest stillness. The lower a hurricane’s pressure at its center, the more devastating the storm is at the eye wall. The more relaxed the martial artist, the more overwhelming the energy that extends from the Ki. The greatest (and only) power in the universe unfurls from a zero-point. Korean Hapkido Grand Master Jeong told me, “Ki is in the stop [or zero point] before the kihap.” The power is not in the yell; the yell is simply an incidental byproduct of the Ki process. The kihap is just the exhale. A kihap uttered without connecting with the stop is mere posing or pretending. Instead of martial artists’ practicing a yell, they should be practicing the stop. When power comes from the stop, the kihap simply happens. The Ki Master Koichi Tohei said, and gave me permission use, “We are able to move most rapidly and violently when we remain perfectly calm. Likewise, the truest calm is reached when we move at the greatest speed.” V

Absolutely! However, connected breathing needs to be shown by a Connected Breather. Unfortunately, many Connected-breathers have other agendas,...but that should not dissuade one from retaining the services of a Breathworker, like a Rebirther. They may go through a predisposed litany of things like tetany, emotions, etc.,...just focus on the technique of connected breathing and your "heart center",...not the physical heart. The "heart center" is more related with the thymus gland. As ralis implied,...allow all the tingling sensations (usually beginning in the hands and feet) flow to the heart center. At first, the bursts of light may spring you up dancing in bliss for hours,...that's ok. Each time, become more at ease with the blissfulness of this light. If you see Babiji or some saint smile at you, just tag it like a thought in meditation, and be at ease in the light,...the whiteness will clear,...once the connected breathing begins, it usually maintains itself without need for any concentration. I would strongly recommend that one should have a Connected Breathworker there for at least the first 3 times. V

I must assume that your misunderstanding of light is commensurate with your understanding of Vajrayana. So-called physical light is only perceived as physical and all there is, because you have not view light from light's point of view,...just as you (and apparently your Dzogcen teachers)have not viewed Vajra from Vajra's point of view. As previously mentioned, the human-centric point of view is that light travels 186k mps relative to that humans perceived position in time. However. from Light's point of view, it moves no distance in no time, and thus has no need for speed. Your desire to achieve a Rainbow Body is as the story of the lung-gom runner who was very absorbed in his craft. One day while journeying, Buddha stopped by a river across from this lung-gompas hut for a drink. Seeing this traveling monk approach on the other bank, the lung-gompa came out and stood on the water. How long have you practicing austerities? Buddha asked. For twenty-five years, said the lung-gompa. I am able, as you can see, to cross the river by walking on water, he continued. My poor fellow! replied Buddha with commiseration. Have you really wasted so many years for such a trifling result? Why the ferry man will take you across the river for a small coin. The attention and intention of an authentic Vajrayana practioner should be Clear Light,...not Rainbow bodies. What shape and color is a banana? Absorbing all spectral light except yellow doesnt make it yellow, while under a microscope, neither has it a shape, until we think that one is there; the true minds essence is beyond shape and form. White is generally agreed to be the fundamental color of visible light. This achromatic color contains all of the colors within the visible spectrum, which can be demonstrated by passing sunlight through a prism. Black is the absence of incandescent light. Simply stated, when we view a black object, we perceive the absorption of most visible light, whereas an object that appears to be white is reflecting most visible wavelengths. That is the case if we are speaking about light. If were speaking about pigment, such as paint, then black is the presence of most colors, and white is the absence of color. Neither visible light nor form actually has color. The color we perceive in an object is derived from the absorption, reflection, and refraction of light as it interacts with the wavelengths of the object. For example, a ripe banana is yellow to our perception because it absorbs almost all wavelengths except yellow, which the surface of its form reflects to our sensory apparatus. What color is a red apple? An authentic Vajrayana practioner is not seeking the White Light or Rainbow Colors of Duality's Reality. Color is a property of divided light inherent in all wavelengths, but it is only perceived when visible light is available. Enlightenment is not about "visible light" nor the electrodynamic spectrum. The COMPLETE electrodynamic spectrum is divided light,...and divided light is an illusion. V

You shouldn't be kidding at all. If you viewed the first two Matrix films, and discard all the shoot-em up stuff, you would be closer to realizing Heart-mind than any religion on earth. The Brother directors of The Matrix were said to have used Walter Russell's book 'Secret of Light' (which one could find free on the web). If you overlook the Christian predispositions, the book is quite accurate regarding the nature of light,....both divided and undivided,...and how Nero did what he did. V

Wu Wei Wu correctly said, there is no humility, only degress of pride. As far as beliving in oneself,...that is a for certain way to maintain a hollow heart. Songwriter Trent Reznor sings, Inside your heart, it is black, and its hollow, and its cold. . . . What if this whole crusade is a charade in the name of the holy and the divine. . . Are you brave enough to see . . . or so naive you keep holding on to what you want to believe? In another song, he sings, Are you sure what side youre on? . . . Feel the hollowness inside of your heart. . . . What if everything around you isnt quite as it seems. . . . What if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream? . . . What if you could look right through the cracks? Would you find yourself afraid to see? Those are surely some upsetting lyrics for those in denial and without the courage to stand consciously in the presence of reality. Higher frequency has little to do with New Age crystals or stones,...or physical balance. Higher frequency implies clearing barriers to the light and love all people already are. Enlightenment isn't something to acquire or add,...it's about letting of ridiculousness of self-interests. Self-interest is a cancer cell. Anyway, it is obvious we are as about apart as a Christian and Buddhists. Liberal Christians often make statements like, 'deep down Buddhists are really searching for God', 'Buddhism is just a different expression of man's understanding of God', or 'Buddhists are Christians outside the church'. "Sadly, such statements are meaningless. Those kind of statements really show that Christians still wish to claim superiority for their own religion. They also show that the liberal Christian's supposed tolerance is dependent upon believing that Buddhism is just another form of Christianity. In short, it is based on a delusion. Liberal Christians will only be genuinely tolerant when they can admit that Buddhism is different from Christianity, very different, and be tolerant despite these differences." http://www.uq.net.au/slsoc/bsq/budchr0.htm#cont V
