Will Suffering Ever End? The Law of Polarity and Measuring Meditation

So we just had a couple young adults dressed fancy talk to me at the door. Handed me the flier - "Will Suffering Ever End?" My answer was "good question" but by then it was too late. The energy had gone out of my eyes, I flexed the perineum and sphincter to hold it back, but the female was talking to me, and she was well-endowed. I was glad she had turned to God as the solution to end suffering, but I was concerned how she might be reacting to the qi energy. They took off right away as they had parked their car blocking the car of my mom leaving.

Last night I heard a new podcast interview with http://springforestqigong.com 

It was actually from 10 years ago and Chunyi does not seem to do any more podcast interviews. In fact he is offering a new "exclusive" retreat in the Yucatan for "only 25" people. That's not until next February - of course if you're going to Mexico you go in the winter in Minnesota. haha. I went to Chichen Itza when I was 14 years old and I bought this "Mayan flute" - a clay whistle - outside the temple. When I was in my first year of college I wrote a fugue for a Moog synthesizer and that Mayan flute - the fugue had nice counterpoint. But I didn't know all the secrets of my 4 track and so the lines got out of synch when I recorded the fugue. I called the piece, Troll Dance.

But the lady doing the podcast interview mentioned something about bad people to Chunyi who said that he practiced only "good, better and best." (this is a nice contrast to the message I encountered in Sedona Arizona at the New Age capitol of the world, the crystal palace shop or whatever - either you will thrive in Sedona or it will "chew you up and spit you out!" haha.

Chunyi said how it is our lack of deep breathing that cuts us off from our heart and deep mind energy. He said how its our mind that has most the energy normally and tells our body what to do and how to experience suffering. And so then the heart as spirit energy gets neglected the most and so with the body movements and meditation we can activate that heart spirit energy.

The speaker then referred to the "Law of Polarity" and how can we achieve balance as even too much happiness is an energy blockage. Chunyi said yes too much of any of the emotions is a blockage.

So does the Law of Polarity ever end? Will there always be suffering? Buddhism teaches that desire causes suffering and Buddhism is from the advaita Vedic tradition - a critique of it - and so in advaita it is called "eternal liberation" and in Buddhism then great enlightenment. This is when the qigong master, as the one who befriended me achieved, http://guidingqi.com transcends physical death - and achieves a level of immortality. Each breath then sends the mind to beyond the heart, to the "yuan qi" source of the universe.

Master Nan, Huaijin or Nan, Huai-chin - he gives many stories of the Ch'an masters who experience suffering but with each breath the suffering goes away. Ramana Maharshi similarly had his body wasting away with cancer but was known to transcend suffering.

But, as Bill Bodri emphasizes in his tome with Master Nan, "Measuring Meditation"

put 231470150 in the box in the below link and select PDF.

the real meditation requires "emptying" out the body as well, because if the body is sick then at the moment of death, the mind can not empty itself out to go into the Emptiness.



This is quite ironic since Master Nan, Huai-chin himself died from pneumonia - and he smoked - and I think he could have healed himself with strong doses of raw organic garlic. haha. Of course he would have driven away his students from his smell.

So let's search that book for the word suffering. First I gotta download the pdf.

So the first hit we get is "mental clinging" causes suffering as the mind can not go into the Emptiness.

Right so Chunyi said in his podcast how people struggle about how to transform the energy - for good or for worse. And so SFQ transforms the energy for good.

Measuring Meditation says to use analysis of the skandas during meditation to remove suffering.

All phenomena involve suffering.

One of Buddha's 4 noble truths.

All feelings are suffering and so this is how to "triumph over the skanda of sensation by learning detachment."

So this right there is a very serious teaching! In the West we might say that to dismiss all feelings is to not be human anymore!

The next hit of suffering says that people will think they are going insane from kundalini energy as suffering - but this is just a misunderstanding of kundalini energy!

So then it says that the only way to understand the suffering of others and yourself it is develop the Prajna wisdom (spirit) energy into the Emptiness and that "means mastering the mind."

So we are told then that happiness, just as suffering, is impermanent but if we can detach from those feelings then we achieve a deeper level of mental joy and bliss, that then supports Emptiness meditation (samadhi).

And so then even mental joy and bliss have to also be rejected to achieve the real level of Emptiness samadhi.

So this leads to the skanda of volition - beyond the skanda of sensation - so that it is ignorance that leads to suffering because ignorance leads to desire.

So just knowing "you are fundamentally Tao" does nothing at all but rather a person needs to "master their fate and destiny" otherwise suffering and continual rebirths and deaths continue.

This requires cultivation training.

By then "exercising one's enlightenment function" then suffering of the world can be relieved and transformed.

Five fundamental dwellings of mind will cause root seed suffering:

the love of views, love of desire, love of form, love of the formless, and love of ignorance.

That's a lot of love! Notice again that even the bliss and joy gets in the way ultimately of removing suffering!

So then finally the 7th level of consciousness is transformed - and this is the spiritual ego that then goes into the  Emptiness, beyond the heart - the light being turned around to beyond physical death!

This is called "Equality" Wisdom since it achieves the fundamental essence of all of reality.

But this still is just the mind of the Arhat and the body still needs more transforming.

It is a "high level of attainment" but still "half-baked."

To escape suffering then means to also bring this transformation energy to others, to your relationships, and the world.

Obstacles thrown at us by fellow humans are much harder to bear than any suffering alone on the "Hinayana" path of seculsion.

"Suffering does not matter on this road of striving, for the objective is actually worth your death."

So this is the kind of Kamikazi stuff that Westerners would avoid lest be cult-members. But with proper understanding of the "law of Polarity" as the New Agers call it - then suffering truly can be alleviated and transcended and ultimately even death can be transcended!

This reminds me of what the qigong master who befriended me stated - it is the mind that causes fear and it is the mind that blocks going into the Emptiness. This he said showed the deep connection between the kidney energy and going into the Emptiness. The need to build up the kidney energy.

So for Buddhism it is taught there is no real individual experiencing suffering - only the five aggregates as the five elements in formless awareness, arising through interdependent origination.

"There is no ultimate reality in suffering but no ultimate reality in happiness either....Finding That One means finding the greatest bliss."

So this is the deep irony and the original qigong master said that even the true Emptiness is even beyond love!! What this means again is that the Emptiness is achieved through the deep love bliss of the heart but the Yuan Qi energy itself is beyond even this bliss.

"your yang chi will arise, bliss will be born, and your spiritual deliverance will be assured."

So here we can see the irony of the New Age spiritual community wanting to not watch the news, not wanting to get attached to the "suffering" of the world - because to do so then blocks the mind from the necessary relaxation and deep bliss required to build up the qi energy!

There has to be a deep detachment from the "falsity of suffering" even in the midst of suffering.

So the Law of Polarity is really what I have called the "three-in-one" dynamic of complementary opposites. The original qigong master calls this the "seven dimensions" of reality. So there is the difference between the "void" and the "Emptiness." As the book Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality explains if we see light internally in our heads while meditating - this is still the relative void and means nothing. As this book Measuring Meditation states - that light is just a biological phenomenon.

Or to put it in the science terms of my free pdf - the mitochondria emits biophotons from the increased oxygen levels - and so when we hold the breath after exhale, this forces blood into the brain as survival reaction to save the most important organ. The increased blood and oxygen and pressure then increases the internal light seen.

This is a first step as the internal biophoton light is from the increased redox reactions and increased antioxidant reactions - the increased ionization of the electrochemicals.

But then it is only when we see light externally that we begin to access the Yang Qi or Yuan Qi energy. This experience was mentioned by someone who writes for the "Synchromysticism" New Age online post-modern community.

This person actually refers to me as "some dude" who writes online - and then mentions some experiences I had from the qigong training, without referencing them to me - like when I accidentally pulled an old lady's spirit out of the top center of her skull without touching her - and she burst out crying as I felt this heavy blob of qi get pulled out of her!

ROMANCING THE CHI, PART 3 | Noah's Synchromystic Arkive 2.0

Jun 3, 2014 - THE NOT-SO-SUBTLE DETAILS.

So in three parts - he describes going to the Spring Forest qigong level 4 retreat on Lake Superior (something I've never gone to).... and he also attended another retreat back in 2008.

He refers to me mentioning about Chunyi Lin levitating up 9 feet while in full lotus meditation outside next to a pine tree - after doing the 49 days cave meditation training.

Even in the midst of great torture and suffering the real mind never moves and remains unharmed....

 So Buddhism to me, as a critique of Vedic Brahmin philosophy, still retains this sense of the "static space" and yet as a critique also emphasizes eternal motion as interdependent origination. So in fact we have the meta-level of: that which does not move is the process of movement itself as complementary opposites.

putting oneself in tune with this nature through resemblance,... any situation, no matter how bad, is bound to change.

 To maintain and obtain "one-pointed concentration" in the world of suffering then is much more difficult than the path of ascetic seclusion in a cave.

In the first level or Dhyana of samadhi meditation you can start to escape suffering.

All sensations end in suffering.

 So when the body is so full of qi, it is like the bliss of deep sleep when you are not aware of your body nor of time nor of space, only in enlightenment there is your spiritual self emerging and merging with pure awareness. As Bodri and Nan states, the "mind rides the qi" and leaves the body.

The 2nd Dhyana level of samadhi then has even deeper bliss, free from physical pain and mental pressure.

So then the motivation to escape suffering is great but there must be a return from the "causal body" of the formless realm - that then is the enlightened functioning of the Tao.

 This is inherent to the enlightenment process, the individual results work to uplift society.

Or he may conclude that fundamentally mental suffering and bodhi coexist without contradiction. Because of the erroneous view that form exists after death, he falls into an unorthodox path and obscures his bodhi-nature. The theory that among the five skandas form continues to exist after death is the sixth heresy.

This theory that within the five skandas all is annihilated after death is the ninth heresy.

...he may conclude that the fourth dhyana heaven, where both suffering and happiness are no more, and one is no longer subject to birth and death in samsara, is the true basis of nirvana. Thus he mistakes samsaric heavens for the true state of non-action and takes refuge in these five heavens as the ultimate basis of nirvana....the tenth heresy.
