It seems that way, because we are projecting our own unacknowledged character traits onto other people.
Thus Jung's shadow.
But doesn't that make YOU egotistical? Think about it. You are judging other people.
Also 99.9% of Western Mahayana Buddhists are clueless. (I guess I made a judgement there myself).
Since Hastor, YOU are the one so interested in the rainbow body, I must tell you that you cannot obtain rainbow body unless you take Mahayana refuge in the Buddha. See my last post on the previous...
You are entitled to your own view, but whenever I scan a long post and find christian quotes, I do not read it.
You should summarize your point in one sentence, and post again
You can't practice thogal until you have taken Mahyana refuge.
Now in THEORY, you could take Mahayana refuge on your own, by visualizing the Buddha in front of you and reciting it (google around...
DIrect Introduction to the mind is only the beginning. I don't think anyone can realize Buddhahood this way. Has this been claimed?
Because it would not remove the two obscurations....
Rigpa...
actually rushan is the only preliminary to thogal
I am pretty sure every Dzogchen lama has said that trechod is not a distinct practice from thogal. Which makes sense if you know what trechod is. The only people who think they are distinct are...
The rainbow body is the result of thogal and nothing else.
The only preliminary is trechod, BUT, but as Dzogchen lamas have said, if you think trechod is something different than thogal, you have...
Its the same. You would realize this, if you read the primary sources...or had practical experience with wake induced OBE
You need to do pranayama even to do OBE as advocated by Robert Bruce. He...
There are some minor kundalni spikes (which are majorly painful) here.
I am assuming he meant perineum when he said middle of groin.
He even used the magic word "electric" which is also what...
What is more foundational than wake induced OBE?
Reread my post.
I am saying, start out with wake induced OBE
Regarding siddhis, in the literature it says that raising kundalini gives...
In the fourth jhana, the divine eye appears, where the practitioner can view any person, any place, any time, including the heavens.
Before the divine eye manifests, there is a flash of inner...
You would have to refute my point about the Divine Eye being the third eye strobe Vision Screen.
As you know, the Divine Eye is the most important ability in Theravada.
I am certain that the...
I think jhana is the trance state.
Why?
Because in one of the later jhanas you obtain something called the divine eye. This divine eye is THE ability, Buddha used to see his previous lives. ...
I have it from someone is very knowledgeable about thogal, an actual Vajrayana Dzogchen guy who is almost a lama.
Actually he could be a Lama know if he took on students.
Physical relaxation...
First off, I have not taken those vows.
Secondly, it actually breaks Vajrayana vows and samaya to stay in the same house as a Theravadin for more than set period of time. I think it was like two...
Jhana is Theravada, not Mahayana...
To answer you Hastor, to raise kundalini Robert Bruce says you need to have psychotherapy beforehand. In fact developing psychologically IS spiritual...
Lol, that little brow ridge on that guy is within normal variation. He has a pure home sapien skeletal structure.
A brow ridge means nothing.
Look at a neanderthal skeleton. It is...
Not necessarily. The jury is still out.

And Central Asia. However, show me a modern human that has no ancestors who interbred with a...
You are simply not remembering your dreams. Everyone always dreams.
If you really want some cool UFO stories, watch:

Both are split up into multiple parts, so...
I am pretty sure its fake.
There was a similar video like this with the same craft, and that was proven to be 100% fake.
I actually thought it was this video, but Robert says it dates from...
you really need to be in trance state for working on the heart chakra in my experience
