The forum will be undergoing maintenance as things progress forward. SMF2 is a little buggy on our forum, and I will be working to iron out some of those bugs, and to restore the forum to a similar and familiar home for us to the one that we used to have.

Topic Summary

It's a meditation technique.
Sit down into seiza or lotus (half-lotus also works) position, inhale with nose for 2 seconds, exhale with mouth for 8 seconds. Adjust the breathing.
Then imagine yourself being in the center of a river, but remaining in our positions and unscathed by the flowing water. Imagine the water as all the thoughts, that are flowing in your mind. Every voice, thought, dream, EVERYTHING flows past you into an empty void, where it is destroyed.
That's it.

The only thing I fail to see how to do is how to silence those extra voices.
Discipline, okay, I got that.
Willpower, okay, I understand that.
Awareness, same thing.
What I don't understand, is how those three things help to silence the voices.
With me, before something can help me, I must understand how it helps.
Care to enlighten me, my friend?

exactly.
It's all about adapting to your situation

Good point. I suppose it's because Vora started teaching me when I was twelve.
I had to learn how to understand him pretty quickly.

people are different. When I was 15, it would take me up to 4 months to understand what our conversation was about.

Is it strange that I understood most of that as soon as I read it?
While I understand the writings and the meanings, I've no idea how to achieve the goals presented in these conversations...
I likely have less voices than most, but I do know I have more than one. Maybe ten, twenty.
Ugh... I should start meditating again.
Hobo, thank you for showing me this site. It'll do me some good to study again.

there are only a few ways to fail in this path:
1) Commit suicide, because that intervenes with the plans of your true self.
2) Attempt to shun, destroy and ignore your true self.
The whole goal is to learn the ability to silence your mind of all chaotic thoughts, so that you could listen directly to your true self, who is pulling the strings of the world. That's the whole point of the path, not worshiping some altar of a black dragon.
Only way to learn this is to discipline your mind, build your willpower and your awareness. Meditation is key in this. Zen is best (though it is difficult finding a temple in Europe).
Everything else is secondary.

Hmm....
Interesting...Vora never fails to amaze me with his knowledge of life.
The middle ground eh...
I've been shunning everyone, especially recently...should I let others in?
Though...I have so many mental walls separating the outside world from myself..me, in my dark, lonely, isolated world, standing alone. I don't think I even know how to interact with people anymore.
It's been so long...I can't remember the last time I felt any of the emotions.
Heh..This must be what it feels like to be dead...it feels....good.
....
Have I really strayed from the path of the Dragon? have I failed?

if that's what you percieve, Patrick, then be my guest: be the companion of the Dragon's Will. It really is confusing. Usually takes me 3-4 months to understand what our conversation was about. It'll come with time

One of my personal beliefs in life is reflected within the Fangs. I believe that life is always better when you find others willing to spend it with you. You must always enjoy the periods of your life when you are alone, as loneliness can be a virtue, and you must never let others take over your reason for living. Mutuality is something to be appreciated, in my views. I've always seen myself, as a companion- or counterpart - to the Dragon Spirit, as the Will and Rage of Fenrir flows through my veins.

Hmm. I'd like to talk to Vora again at some point. It's been too long.
Very good Igor.
