Antithetic alOne Posted February 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thank your for your kind words. Remember, there really is no difference between "stress" and "pleasure." Pleasure is actually a kind of stress, and vica versa. Think of your mind as a placid pool of water with a flawless glassy surface. Then somene throws a stone into the water, and it starts jangling and waving all over the place. That stone could be either stress or pleasure. It has the same fundamental effect. This is a great understanding to have. A similar perspective allowed me to finally quit smoking (cold turkey) after may tries and using various other means. It took some time, but after a while, the cravings were 'pleasurable', so to say. Deep breathing helps to change the focus as well, but I learned that through my own Zen practice. Keep up the good posts IronGhost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to mention one thing, it gave me the ability to communicate with vastly wider array of beings -- especially those who do not have ego-based consciousness. When you don't assume that other beings will have ego-based conscisouness, all those who don't have it in effect become invisible to you. There are many beings that are so radicaly different in the way they model reality psychologically, there is almost no chance we can have meaningful coomunications with them -- but after enough Zen practice, your mind become like the "Typo O" of the universe. By that, I mean that we all know that people with Typed O blood can give blood to all other types, whereas someone with type AB, for example, can only give to another Type AB. Zen makes one a Type O Ouija communicator, so to speak. Or to put it another way, you're not always assuming that everyone else is using Base 10 Math. You open to beings who "grew up" using Base 12 math, and maybe having a group mind, or only a Super Ego -- or no ego. The real key is to be incredibly wide open in the way you cast your mind out into reality -- such as it exists or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUYI Posted February 10, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) i see, i get what you are talking about, so basically, if you way of thinking is positive or in a certain way you attract those kind of entities when you use the ouja board, and people who don't have that way of thinking will attract other type of beings (the negative ones) Edited February 10, 2008 by HUYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronGhost Posted February 11, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 11, 2008 i see, i get what you are talking about, so basically, if you way of thinking is positive or in a certain way you attract those kind of entities when you use the ouja board, and people who don't have that way of thinking will attract other type of beings (the negative ones) What you're saying may be approximately true -- but just for me me, personally -- I would never attempt to frame my reality as positive or negative. Both are preconceived notings of "models" of reality that have the meaning that we give them -- and the "meaning we give" will not be reality, or Reality, with a capital "R". In terms of the Ouija, when you completely erase preconceived notions about the enities you are contacting, you vastly open up the range and psychological type of being you can contact and perceive. For example, if you decide, "Okay, I'm going to be positive and contact a positive entity" -- you will have a much more difficult time contacting anyone or anything because that preconceived notion "edits out" many forms of consciousness which could otherwise "come through" the Ouija board.
