i used to think it is just some bullshit like "how/where/when do we live if not here and now", but now i feel its when nothing is really important. no reason ever needed to do anything or nothing. maybe i'm just swinging from one end to the other. Tips from my experience: find the root/cause of things that happens around "me", realize who create the drama. It will eventually happen if we learn to broaden our awareness by meditation (simply doing nothing and observe)

How does bliss become intoxicating, isn't that the "place" we (should) put our work on? or is bliss not about not caring to whatever happens outside?

I think the word "secret" might refer or be replaced by "key"? I mean its like when i'm teaching math to my kid, i said: "So, the secret is to pay attention to number 9, 0 is the next number, but add 1 in front of whatever number before it". In my context, key and secret means the same. Another thing i perceive is like when i ask my kid to bring me something from desk or floor, i (think or am sure) point to the thing i was describing (like paper, scissor, or anything), he'd be seems to look/search really hard and still can't find it (even if it was by his feet, he is 3). Wouldn't t

I was born in christian tradition (my parent sent me to christian school, church, etc even though they do confucianism-budhism), in that context i found that speaking in parables makes it easier to chew than speaking in plain truth, which more often cause misunderstanding (although misinterpretation and misunderstanding might have same root). So, basically every human wants to share (be it good, bad, or evil) what he/she is identified with, and protect/guard it against anything that doesnt agree with it. So, here's my parable: to avoid misinterpretation, my

When Does Intellect Become a Stumbling Block?
megantara replied to PatrickJB's topic in General Conversations
Intelect is logic, discernment, the judge, conclusion maker, the processor of senses. I think thats the reason why intelect may be the stumbling block in spiritual seeking. Once a conclusion is drawn, its finished. Once something is identified, its not what we seek. Logic and discernment (if thats even a word) wont work with only one input, therefore it creates duality. All those speaks of one thing, which is intelect. Accumulating knowledge is good, but being attached to it (accumulating knowledge) also is a stumbling block. Whatever we (can) accumulate will be discarded when our life i -

[ASK] What is the significance of a mudra (or mudras)
megantara posted a topic in The Primordial Way
So, last night i tried kechari mudra (the one where -i think- one "swallows" the tongue) and suddenly i'm feeling energy flows in my torso area quite stronger than i usually feel in my back. I've tried doing hand mudras before, but i don't feel much difference between hand mudras (or maybe no difference at all). Anyone can elaborate on how it works, and maybe how physical gesture (or asanas) affect energy flow, and maybe how physical relates to non-physical? Thank you- 1 reply
