It doesn't matter how morbid and twisted the river is. Just let it flow through you. Posted by: BlackRain« on: April 04, 2011, 12:06:40 pm »Of course, my version of this river will be much darker and far more morbid than what most people will interpret that as, but it sounds like it help quite a bit. I'll start a regular schedule for my meditations.
Sun up, and sun down should do nicely for now. Lotus would be crossed-legs, correct? because that is how I normally sit when I meditate. Crossed legs, and a straight back to help open the airways better. Posted by: CrazyHobo« on: April 04, 2011, 03:39:56 am »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.

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?

It's all about adapting to your situation Posted by: BlackRain« on: April 03, 2011, 11:43:33 am »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. Posted by: CrazyHobo« on: April 03, 2011, 11:38:41 am »people are different. When I was 15, it would take me up to 4 months to understand what our conversation was about.
Posted by: BlackRain« on: April 03, 2011, 11:28:03 am »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. Posted by: CrazyHobo« on: March 11, 2011, 06:02:00 am »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. Posted by: Sir Modemkill, Cyborg!« on: March 10, 2011, 03:48:11 pm »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? Posted by: CrazyHobo« on: February 22, 2011, 04:39:08 am »but the year barely started, Mustang
 Thanks for the commentary Posted by: Mustang MKIII« on: February 21, 2011, 07:21:13 am »This was the most enlightening thing I've read this year.
