Sifu Sufi's Spectacular Question on the "Dark Power" Thread edit: just wanted to add the thread was getting bizarre then looks like "dark" deleted his posts. strange.

peace out

Joeblast, from what I read on the forum you are a great practioner. Some of the posts you write on here are great. Now on here I see this political lower drab stuff here of a lower vibration. It is pontificating feces dude. Politics isn't the answer. Well peace guys... time for my 36 hour trip.

*taps wrist* *points at eyes with index and second finger* *grabs ear* *holds nose* *shows pinky as though he were gesturing the number one with his index finger*

I see your schwartz is as big as mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S25Zf8svHZQ

Course Sammo Hung is fast... Why not?

LOL! What about Doctor Strange? He can control matter/energy of all the elements!

You have my vote. A friend of the d*vil is a friend of mine. What do we call the uprising?

Did you guys check out the links? They are against corporate greed and are moving for economy based upon the "NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE". They are also non-violent, it seems the police are still being brutal anyway according to live feed.

Typo. I had some information on it, yet didnt want to just post it on a forum. So, to anyone who wants that information as complicated as it is can be made readily available by PM. No, I meant the only way my information on it is available through PM. This was frustrating because I swear the post is not the same that I pasted from the notepad file on my computer I wrote. This was a path I took, I was orignally disgruntled with religion itself. So I took the time to comb over previous posts to ensure that the post reflected what I had meant. I did not mean for such a misunderstanding about what I had said. I document everything I write. Rarely do I ever ad-lib a post.

Greetings Meow, Personally my history is complicated. To paint a picture, when growing up I was part of a destructive cult. It took time and energy, I worked my way up through the cult regurgitating their so-called truths. Once I was in a position to free myself from it, I did. It took fifteen years to free myself and my parents and find enough evidence to convince them that it was nothing but a destructive cult. Today, none of my previous beliefs I once held form a base in my new perception of reality. Needless to say if given the chance, I could be called apostate by many religions. Moral of the albeit brief story? Only that to seek Knowledge that you will, an awareness beyond texts you will need. For religious texts may hint to higher knowledge. Just the same, some close awareness off to seeing things as they are by default. I know I am throwing you a curve ball here. Each religion has a different perception and distinction of reality. It is all covered in: This post here. Experience is the only thing between you and understanding what is fake. Though methods may seem like trickery. The only way to follow the complicated "no path" quest is to PM me.*edit*I was sure I had written: For more information on following "no path" please PM me. This slightly unnerved me because I swear I did not write the striked out text. I will provide you with a link, though it is based upon understanding intuitive abilities, it is the only way to seek what you wish be being able to discern from religious texts (most of what is, seems to be inheirently tainted as such). Along with a brief monologue of what is not covered by the link. Kudos for trying this huge and difficult undertaking. No, all religions are not completely truthful. Neither do they lead to the same result. The only thing that leads to the same result is the need to dominate. The distinctions of atman/anatman are information written down by someone who studied texts and had no clear knowledge of what it means to have reached these realities. I am not making this "wrong" by my words. I am simply saying that much is missed because the persons who wrote about it did not experience it. This disqualifies them from providing real information for people who wish to find an answer to it. It does provide fundamental information on tenets and vehicles with which to try to accomplish said realities. However, to be totally apostate on the matter from an energetic perspective it is... sorry to say... perfectly worthless. I say this because the written materials on these subject do provide the qualities that the writers could imbue with the subject. Vedantic writings and Buddhist writings the same are great by their own merit and provide meaning according to the precepts and vehicles inheirent to their own distinctions. Vedantic being percieving through non-dual means and Buddhism through knowledge, compassion and awareness. By their own merits they are not wrong and in these respects that they seek truth they are not wrong by these measures. Writings are only wrong when you seek other truth other than what the original writer could possibly imbue them with. Yet to understand that, you have to understand the different perspectives, hence why you should read my *edit*post I linked to above. I should have provided complete explanation an tenure as to why I was not making a religion "wrong" so to speak. If someone chooses to find fault with my words, thinking that that was an attack on the religion itself, they did not read and fully understand my words.

thought I would throw in some humor

The brain is a great thing, yet not when it comes to cultivation. Most texts do in fact mention that Energy flows through non-fat areas. (Do not misteak this to mean polyunsaturated fats). I cite the Yi yin jing and the xi sui jing. Opinions are like Onions. The more you cut and peel the more pungent and more it stimulates the tear ducts. Finally when we cant see because of the tears we try to finish or give up. Over the years having brushed shoulders with teachers I have seen a lot. Students look for self validation on different levels due to their teachers or even their peers. Bruce teaches meditation through stilling the mind. Seems like he has an understanding of the mind. That is non-opinion through understanding different "ways". That is all I know.

everyone does. Course then again the people who think they dont deserve it are kind of hard to crack.

Some people believe since God is everything, God blew up.

You are talking about what could be called higher truth. Common truths like the ones you stated previously are half truths based upon higher truth. They are mainly tools or vehicles to touch higher truth. To expound upon this reasoning an understanding of the fallacious nature of mankinds truth must be explained I believe I read that before somewhere here in posts lurking before. Sometimes we are not handed exactly what we want. You seek higher truth, but all that is- is in fact half truth. To go beyond what others have done, we must understand the half truths first. Then when the time comes we dont need to use chakras or tools. We can simply touch what we want or ask ourselves a question and feel the response in one way or another that comes most easily to us. This is also why people choose a spiritual distinction, for most have this when seeking what we will. Eventually if we climb or become spiritually evolved enough, we become apostate to them, or work out what we have learned and embrace nondual awareness. There are a few teachers that expound upon this climb but in the words of the recently deceased Erle Montaigue, his words never ring more true "I only stand upon the backs of greatness". A great business man he was I read, but if it were not that I did not accept the light that all men shine I would not have quoted him. Standing upon the backs of greatness is all I do, and the climb is something constant for me. I am no teacher, but hear teachers talk about this "climb" For a shortcut to understanding what I have written in this post, You can click here and read this thread along with the first post which has a link to "God's Debris"

I feel the best thing you can do is practice talking in a calm voice. If someone is talking really fast, slow down eeeevvvveeennn mmmmmoooooorrrrreeee. Talking calmly and delibrately without care to how long it takes is a great way to empower yourself and calm agitated people down. Dont talk like yurtle the turtle. Breathe calmly and if you are talking the right speed you dont feel like you have to catch your breath. If you say whats that word....? The other person will try to help you find it. Dont do that. Try to plan out what you are going to say in advance that way you don't get stuck.

I am not sure how much or how far anyone here has come to understand what I will say next. When you are ready you will understand that you have to become a mirror for what you want to know. It may seem like I dont know what I am talking about because I dont breakdown what I say into simple parts. All I can tell you is you instantly feel, know, see or smell it. Sometimes what we get is puzzling and takes a while to be understood because it is outside the field of what we are familiar with. The reason why it doesnt work is related to becoming a mirror. If we have background thoughts and worries our reception sometimes turns up nil. If I am trying to find a missing person. One that has lead a life of misery I have to sync to that vibration. Sometimes that involves immersing myself in someones pain (not specific) It is hard to think that life should be something that it is not. Life is not all happy and joy like people think. You have to be able to accept the ugly stuff too. Then some think that being unreceptive and ignoring the senses are a virtue. No, we were meant to see things exactly they way they are. By nature mankind doesnt like to see counter perspectives. I hope people who want to glean information from what I have said do, and that it doesnt cause grief for people who did not want to know about the intuitive side of things.

LOL I dont see any agenda here... I just see jokers and more jokers that think they are right

Ever done anything later you later was a pontificating conundrum, because the answer only begets the question?

Assumptions are nice when one has the humor to do it. It just doesnt help anything to ask something that ends in circular logic.

Well I have gone and done it now. So there is not much turning back. It is my prayer that this discussion goes well. In greater light, we tend to also find other beings as well. Remember to be calm. This quote I will show you brings up some interesting points: UnEnlightenment can happen by false perceptions, imaginations that are false. Yet veterans of Buddhism do tend to understand that this subject becomes difficult the more you try to separate out the false from the true. Let me tread with caution, lest people misunderstand that I am not making any of the dharmmas "wrong" with my words. I am saying that imaginations can be right, if following dharmmas for communication with higher beings. Focusing on the positive and higher vibrations and energies of things helps us to be aware of this truth. However, we are at a slight disadvantage because we opened the topic on a negative. A teacher would tell me to read something, however here I think this might be a good topic to just talk about. Get the energy moving so to speak. Share what you have read and your experiences.

*deleted* Later realized my post was of no value.

If you are traveling or think you are staying at a decent hotel make sure you check the room for BEDBUGS first before you even bring you luggage in. 30 minutes in a fancy hotel could land you stowaways. However Murphys Oil Soap or the nearest ORKIN professional can exterminate them. Nasty buggers. Heat steamers that use low water also kill them but you cant buy them in retail stores and cost hundreds of dollars. Just a tip from a wandering Tao Bum...

Just wanted to add 30 minutes is the time it might take you to get bit by the buggers and get stowaways for clarification
