the last of the 6 yogas of naropa is that of powa: consciousness transference… shooting the essence of consciousness out of the head into the emptiness of clear light (or maybe a “favorable rebirth”). i don’t see how this is a desirable spiritual goal – it seems like going right back to sqaure one. and for those practicing these yogas,…[Read more]

My thoughts at the moment:

Looking at his website, I feel that he is viewing this from a certain perspective rooted in the Buddhist approach, the goal of which is a certain “enlightenment”, and comparing all esoteric systems to this approach. I am not so sure all “enlightenments” are the same.

“Emptiness” has it’s role, but so does…[Read more]

Your experiences are classic experiences of “kundalini awakening” at
the
stage of the chi mai being cleared.
With retention of the semenal force (jing, brahmacharya) and sufficient
mediotation/cultviation practice of the right
type, jing can trasnform into chi and open up the chi channels. Hence
your
experiences. This is the same…[Read more]

thank you for your words.

it is interesting for me to read what people have said about this kind of process – for the period of my most intense problems seems to have passed. and i can see how it’s already “getting smoother”. i stopped doing yoga with any of the intensity that i had soon after it all began, in february. i am a vegetarian,…[Read more]

I have heard of anusara yoga – but I didn’t know it included more than a physical practice. Thank you for mentioning this.

To clarify – what I meant by that last question was: whereas other systems employ manifestations of a force often called kundalini to achieve *disassociative* goals, how does the taoist system employ it?

(no drugs for me, my life has always been psychedelic enough without them!)

the way you have described daoist alchemy – this is much closer to what i’m looking for, than those paths of “annihilation”. i have deep disagreements with areas of buddhist and hindu philosophies, and do not want to practice with systems that are woven into…[Read more]

dance of shiva, as in andrey lappa’s practice?
i actually know the first few levels of that…

i will add a bit more detail about my situation and what i am looking for. its a long story, so i’ll try to stick to a few important points.

-i’d practiced yoga asanas and such for a couple years, but last fall i became very serious for a number of reasons (essentially i was trying to return to a…[Read more]
