buddhists say compassion and love for all others right? I think that’s bull. …many say that it is love for things external that is necassary to appease the 4th chakra. I for one prefer taoist thought in this regard.
I would like to be somewhat free of emotion… lie in that blissful state I believe is beyond those robbers, eh ? 😉 but how exactly does emotion tie into this chakra, and how do I use it to my benefit?
but how to open the heart? that is where my kundalini stops… where I have almost always seemed to have problems..
with much respect……………
April 18, 2005 at 6:31 pm #4692The NothingnessParticipantIts not something that can really be spoken about openly.
Do your research with an openmind and answers will follow.
Keep to the virtue!
Dont be afraid to look in unthikable places.
That is KEY!!!The Dao will move in when you are ready.
Have patience and sincerity.Straight up though, their are alot of methods out there, but when it really comes down to Brass Tax, Its something that I beileve you have
to realise on your own.To trully speak about it Openly, is TABOO!
I wont even elude to it!
But I wish you well.
Hey, at least its a perspective.
At what level?
That is for you to measure.April 18, 2005 at 7:48 pm #4694humanquestionboxParticipantwhy do you HAVE TO realize it on your own? also,taboo for who?
April 18, 2005 at 8:35 pm #4696dotdotdotParticipantaw come on man are you kidding? I’m trying really hard here, I come here for help and you tell me that?
but I didnt really come here for your answer…. I came hoping m.winn would help me out…. apparantly its a high hope, tho, eh, being ‘taboo’ andall? no offense to you brother, but you have to remember I dont know you, right?
I notice m.winn started posting when several of us left the board? I noticed he… (I am sorry I will talk to you, you may read this..) I noticed that you said he vibrations of the board changed and all… I respect that and as a part of that group that left I will spend my time in that forum… I will try to post here only my most important questions here, eh, (unless I get too comfortable!!)
but it does not mean you, mr.winn, dont have my respect, and as so, it’s your answers I will value. please help me out, eh brother?
April 18, 2005 at 9:06 pm #4698humanquestionboxParticipantmay i respond to your thought-questions? i am hoping we may all process your/our quest together? may i share ,here, my learnings and questions regarding opening the heart
April 18, 2005 at 9:11 pm #4700The NothingnessParticipantI can answer that one.
It has to do with people in control of something they are
not able or ready to handle.
See from my perspective the Universe has these safety measures
set up to let certain information out to certain people
when they are ready for it.Spiritual Energy is very Powerful!
You can believe it or not.Regadless, as for Taboo, I would say in my Lineage!
That goes for people in my assemblage, band, bunch, circle, clan, clique, club, cluster, combo, company, coterie, crew, crowd, Gang, Group, herd, horde, knot, lot, mob, organization, outfit, pack, party, ring, set, shift, squad, syndicate, team, tribe, troop, troupe, workers, zoo , I guess you could call it?
Hey for lack of a better word Right?Though you got to be INITIATED FIRST!
April 18, 2005 at 9:16 pm #4702The NothingnessParticipantSee you want a straight foward answer for something that is
not straight foward.Its really not something that you can just be given.
Yeah sure, pick up any Mantak Chia book and I am sure you will
find something on opening the heart.
But will it really do the trick????Well it will at least get you started!
I will say this again, LOOK EVERYWERE!!!!
April 18, 2005 at 10:59 pm #4704dotdotdotParticipantyes, you’re probably right… thank you.
April 19, 2005 at 12:38 am #4706MoonglowParticipantHey that last dialogue sounded like you wer talking and answering yourself. Were you?
Open heart? It helps to stand under the stars and moon and lift your heart with all your being to the heavens to make your heart and the haert of the universe one. To blend the white light of the moon and stars with your being.Lifting your heart up and offering it to the heavens and crying with it and laughing with it. No words can explain it. This can help open the heart. I did this without knowing in my physical mind what I was doing, but I truly was opening my heart. To send it out with every atom, every miniscule particle of your being to all that is good, all that is healing, for the one that heals. This is what was done with no one giving instruction, no one to impress, no one to idolize, no one to criticize. Just me and the moon, the stars and the universe. And my heart. When one gets touched like this afterwards it can be a little lonely here sometimes. The warmth and unconditional love is nothing that can be described or ever duplicated by anything else. It cannot. So one knows that until one leaves there will always be that place in the heart that can only be warmed by going home. This is opening the heart. To open it and bear it with joy. And sometimes a little loneliness. For now.
Looking at a child with such love and compassion that it brings a smile and a tear to your eye — this opens the heart.
Looking at an ant and watching it work and feeling its being. This opens the heart.
Walking in the cool evening air with the wind in your hair and the birds singing in the trees … this helps open the heart.
Helping a disabled person get on the bus helps to open the heart. It is a recipe of many things. Sometimes a little more dash of this than that for others. Sometimes a big cupful of this for some. But not all. This opens the heart. To listen carefully. To feel, to truly feel carefully with wonderment. And be. This opens the heart.
For you it is different than for me. For there are only one of you and only one of me. Together we make all. But still you are unique in the gifts given to you and the gifts you will give to this world. In this it is good to listen to your heart. Ask for truth and wisdom. The heart opens like a flower.
Well, time for night! night!
Rainbows!

April 19, 2005 at 1:02 am #4710MaxParticipantYes, Rainbow is right… Doing good deeds will surely open one’s heart.
April 19, 2005 at 4:43 am #4712Michael WinnKeymasterWelcome back.
All of the advice given to you in the other posts is excellent.
But the reason it was offered to you is because you shared your own pain – from your heart. Proof that your heart is not closed. The reality of it is mirrored all about you.
I feel one simple way to speed up the process of opening one’s heart is to realize that it has never been closed.
Is the sun “closed” becaue it goes behind a dark cloud?
No, it is still shining, in all directions, on all beings.
Your heart is exactly the same.Do not confuse the dark clouds with your heart,
which is shining at this very moment inside you.Smile to this inner heart-sun, and grow your feelng for what is already present, even if hidden.
When you feel connected to what is glowing and pulsing within you, try shining this inner warmth and light on the dark clouds around your heart. When you smile and embrace their darkness from within with the sun’s attitude of unconditional acceptance, you see the other side of that same dark cloud is bright white.
The dark clouds about your heart have served a valuable purpose. Be grateful to them. Deep practice of the inner smile will dissolve your need to view clouds.
love, chi, blessings,
