Everything has already been said but here is a key point:

You guys are seeking health, are you not? Without health, no Happiness. The quiet happiness of Infinite Self is great, that is Void. But Enlightenment is beyond that, the Full Void abiding. Enlightenment is supreme health.

So with that, here are a few things.

Quote:

Hydraulics
If you understand the principle of hydraulics, you can quickly grasp how breathing should work. When your diaphragm moves, your belly has to move — if it doesn’t move, you simply aren’t using your diaphragm.3

The hydraulics of respiration
The diaphragm flattens as it contracts, pushing the abdominal walls outwards.

The diaphragm is your primary breathing muscle. It is a thin, wide sheet of muscle that separates the rib cage from the abdomen. It has a high domed shape which flattens out significantly when it contracts. The dome-shape is much more pronounced that most people realize, and that shape is important to understand.
When the diaphragm contracts, that dome flattens significantly, and as it flattens it pushes downwards on the viscera like a hydraulic plunger. Since the watery viscera cannot be compressed,4 they have to get out of the way. So where do they go?
They go outwards! The abdominal contents are forced down and out. When you inhale with your diaphragm, your belly expands. Hence, good breathing is usually described as “abdominal breathing” or “diaphragmatic breathing.”

Read the goddamn link, if you do not then you are doing your Self a disservice. READ IT. I SAID LOOKATDAPICKCHA


The ultimate way to reaching happiness, freedom, and peace is to look at the examples of those who came before you. You can read a book or two, but when you read a biography of an excellent Being, the entire biography exudes Excellence. There is no comparison.
So with that;

Then finally, Liao Fan's Four Lessons.
http://www.buddhanet.net/pdf_file/liaofan.pdf

This book shall inform you of the nature of fate and of transformation of destiny.

Finally, if you have true spiritual knowledge,
Pop open a quran,
Read


That, alone, is the metric by which every man's character is fully exposed in detail for all

The-God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of its light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. The God guides to its light whom it wills. And The-God presents examples for the people, and The-God is Knowing of all things.

Nice post crkhd, very informative.

THen I got to this bit:

:rofl:

Where did that come from? And why would one read it if they have the "true spiritual knowledge" already?

The quran is the one book that will shatter your spiritual ego
Many beings live life 'spiritually' but they preserve their ego
When a being humbles themselves before the Supreme,
They become open to the deep harmonising resonance

Then how come it fails so completely for many people who spend a long long time studying it?

Seems to me like the book is buggy, someone should write to tech support, have it looked at.

Don't hate till you read? Muslims happen to live in a war torn extremist CULTURE.

That they created, much of it based in their religious beliefs.

The one and only book? For every single person? Seems like a silly generalization.

Spoken word can not guarantee experience of infinity and unity, and by its nature, spoken word is finite indeed. Although it can be a gateway as well as many other gateways.  Sometimes the simple quietude of a butterfly on a flower is enough to spark it in that infinitely huge and tiny space in the center of the brain that is coincidentally turning everything in this world.


--------------------

Ah, the mystery.
When sight and seen are complete,
who looks through these eyes?

All words are lies.
This statement, too, is false.

Well I know it forbids "intoxicants" so for me as a shroomer, it's dead right there. It forbids drawing and painting A LOT of things, and I'm a painter. Kills it for me all over again. But simply observing the culture turns me off quite a bit. It's the highest, most respected book in those cultures. If the culture is still bloody and extreme, maybe the book, as I said, is buggy and doesn't work too well, not clear enough about what to do and what to stop doing.

If I were to write a how-to-live book for say, violent prison inmates, I'd clearly mention not stabbing each other and not raping fellow inmates in the ass to prove a point. Like I'd mention it clearly, don't do this stuff, ever. I'd put it in the daily prayer "I will solve all disputes peacefully, without knives and abuse." or some such.

I'd also be very careful to avoid passages that could be used/misinterpreted to support raping and stabbing, by various angry dudes I know to be roaming the place. Even if they went around doing what they do, I'd make sure they couldn't use my book to support it. If need be I'd say that my book does NOT fit in your hand, if you hold a weapon in the other, nor promote intentional violence of any kind. This kind of thing would NOT make sense:



But it does make sense with the Qur'an.

If after centuries of studying my book in schools, praying according to it five times a day and making a big fuss about it, they're STILL stabbing each other and fucking each other in the ass, or preaching hatred, I'd conclude that my book is rather poorly written and needs a version 2.0 or something.
