MatthewQi replied to the topic Different Notions of Heaven (from ABC special) in the forum Philosophy 18 years, 10 months ago
I never did understand why adepts were not encouraged to share their experiences. I always thought it had to do with influencing what another might experience versus one coming to their own experiences / understanding.
I too find sharing inspirational and beneficial. However, as Simon eluded to, I am myself a bit hesitant to share…[Read more]

Michael and others,
I agree that the alchemy is a gradual approach to what we are and can be what one needs for liberation. I have also found descriptions of these experiences after I have had them in literature of various traditions and realize that they all point to various aspects of the same universal Heaven / God. Eventual a traditions…[Read more]

Interesting. Thanks for posting Michael!
A very excellent book on how we are wired for God is by Andrew Newberg (who is mentioned above) titled “Why God Won’t Go Away”.
Also, there was a decent show on the the History Channel recently titled “A History of God” the description eluded to something about how God has manifested “himself” to…[Read more]

GoldenSun,
Something to check out is prolotherapy. In my opinion, I would try it before surgery. Of course, there is a time and a place for different things but since you asked…
I have tried it for my neck and back car accident injuries recently. Overall, the pain is greatly reduced.
Here is a link to your specific…[Read more]

Yes, thanks for posting it! I enjoyed it very much. I first read it as Ancestor Lu’s Hundred-Character Tablet as translated by Thomas Cleary in The Taoist Classics Volume Three with a commentary by Liu I-Ming.

Steve,
It is not that it is tough. It just releases very powerfully more sexual energy. Unless your emotional state is stablized it can lead to problems.
All the Best!

Welcome Lucid!
My only recommendation would be to do fusion 1,2 & 3 before iron shirt 3 and only take the weights with an instructor. The other parts of IS 3 can be learned on your own though. It is good that you took your time with IS 1.

MatthewQi replied to the topic energy through walls in the forum General 19 years, 2 months ago
pikatschu,
since you are already sensitive to energy, I would echo what voice says about getting centered and also learning more about how to work with energy (if you are interested). I would favor developing mastery of Self through internal means versus external, but that is my own preference and what I have more experience with. Crystals…[Read more]

What I did was different so I though I would share a different experience so people could hear another story.
I learned from the books and tapes. Practiced and studied diligently. One step at a time. Used I Ching for help on when to advance and when to stay with a practice when in doubt (someone here recommended it to me). I ended up only…[Read more]

MatthewQi replied to the topic Zen and Tao merge? in the forum General 19 years, 3 months ago
Many people spend their whole lives seeking zen emptiness. But this is only the first step. One is not complete until one becomes full. This can happen (as often does in zen tradition) instantly at the sound of a tree branch breaking, or whatever, but there is a trigger.
So, +, – and 0, where 0 is emptiness is not equivalent to yin, yang,…[Read more]
