Pirating anime cost the anime industry billions. But at the same it's the only way to watch many older anime and you don't have to deal with regional licensing or censorship.

What do you mean knock the chakras?

Arcade games from the 90s cheated at their own game to cheat you out of your quarters.

That is exactly what I was doing with each micro sip of air within each cycle except I wasn't focusing on chakras, I was feeling each sip as a swirling vibration of energy. Each OM chant was one sip of air I'm going to consciously focus on moving the breath through the chakras tonight
-
Very brief, less than a second. It's called Omkar kriya. The pause is used to "knock" each chakra. You can visualize knocking the chakra as the breath passes up through it.
-
How long are the pauses? Doing this tonight.

Simple but clever Theft example: Teaching crows to steal money for you. -
Love. Just some satire below for inspiration.

He frames it in an poor and confusing way that makes it seem like experience isn't Truth. What he means by "experience" is all the conceptual baggage the ego-mind adds to raw Being. In his framework, if you strip away all the conceptual baggage from experience, then experience transforms into Being. Although of course nothing visually changes. "Experience" is a loaded notion that implies a self who is the experiencer. If you remove the experiencer, you could say that experience stops being experience and becomes Being. Although, again, nothing visually changes. If you remove the ego from experience it becomes Truth. It's a silly confusion. -
We now have enough people for a full European retreat.

Good to know. Also, it might be an artist's rendition, not a "photograph." But cool nonetheless.
-
@ExploringReality There is an advanced Kriya techique which has you pause the breath at every chakra. Sounds similar to what you are doing.

The second image is a scientific image.
-
No problem. 😁
-
Wayyy too abstract, in my opinion.
-
Thanks. I meant to say Buddhist, not Nuddhist. Freudian slip, I guess.
-
Fair enough, although it is a rather important detail to disclose, in my view. If the representation were somewhat accurate, that would be even better. Could mention that creative liberties have been taken.
-
There are many types. I will watch them and post them. I have only been watching cult documentaries. 😁

@Leo Gura Last night I practiced 30 minutes of Kriya Yoga pranayama as described in Kriya Yoga Exposed by Satana Gamana. The technique involves mentally chanting "Om" while focusing awareness on the third eye, traditionally 6 repetitions on the inhale and 6 on the exhale. I modified the pacing so that each breath cycle lasted approximately 30 seconds, slowly drawing the breath into a continuous Om vibration. rather than one smooth pull, I found I could sip roughly 15 micro-breaths within a single inhale. At some point the experience dissolved entirely. I fell into a deep void, not sleep though because there was no transition. Just pure empty awareness, I snapped back awake at 1:22 am. Shit was wild.
-
What about less obvious cults? Can you find some on Christian subgroups or Zen-like sects? Or perhaps Hindu/Buddhist-based?
-
Ahh, fair enough.
-
Yes and working together, the sexes get all directions covered.

And You call yourself a neuroscientist! How do you know there's even a brain in there!

This whole interview is insane. At around the 45 min mark Piers asks him what we should have done differently during COVID and he doesn't have an answer.
