I need a haven Where everything passes by Where we are all equal Where there's quiescence It's you, those who set themselves On top of evolution Ironically giving yourself Dumb's king's crown Which seems to satisfy you Which gives you power But just in your nonexistent mind Only in your mind! I need a haven Where everything passes by Where we are all equal Where there's quiescence Haven Passes by All equal Quiescence You think you are allowed To do everything you want Because I never say I won't say anything If I would switch my brain off once Just like you do all the time All of you'd be lying dead Lying dead! I need a haven Where everything passes by Where we are all equal Where there's quiescence Haven Passes by All equal Quiescence |

![]() | 5 of 5. How to Meditate, Yoga, Meditation http://www.encognitive.com Meditation is a discipline in which the mind is focused on an object of thought or awareness. It usually involves turning attention to a single point of reference. The practice may engender a higher state of consciousness. Meditation is recognized as a component of almost all religions, and has been practiced for over 5,000 years.[1][2][3] Meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual and/or psychophysical practices which can emphasize development of either a high degree of mental concentration, or the apparent converse, mental quiescence. The word meditation comes from the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated every type of physical or intellectual exercise, then later evolved into the more specific meaning "contemplation." Eastern meditation techniques have been adapted and increasingly practiced in Western culture. |

![]() | Shaolin Kung Fu 1/2 ★ English Dub ★ ENG CHN subtitles 天下武功出少林 Shaolin Kung Fu refers to a collection of Chinese martial arts that claim affiliation with the Shaolin Monastery. Of the tens of thousands of kung fu wushu styles, several hundred do, in fact, have some relationship to Shaolin; however, aside from a few very well known systems, such as Shaolin Five Animal, the 108 Movements of the Wooden Man Hall, Enchanted Staff, White Eyebrow, etc., it would be almost impossible to establish a verifiable connection to the Temple for any one particular art. Internal and external arts Huang Zongxi described Chinese martial arts in terms of Shaolin or external arts versus Wudang or internal arts in 1669. It has been since then that Shaolin has been popularly synonymous for what are considered the external Chinese martial arts, regardless of whether or not the particular style in question has any connection to the Shaolin Monastery. Some say that there is no differentiation between the so-called internal and external systems of the Chinese martial arts, while other well known teachers have expressed differing opinions. For example, the Taijiquan teacher Wu Jianquan: Those who practice Shaolinquan leap about with strength and force; people not proficient at this kind of training soon lose their breath and are exhausted. Taijiquan is unlike this. Strive for quiescence of body, mind and intention. In 1784 the Boxing Classic: Essential Boxing Methods made the earliest extant reference to the Shaolin Monastery as Chinese boxing's place of origin. Again, this is a misconception, as Chinese martial arts pre-date the construction of the Shaolin Temple by at least several hundred years. Origin [edit] Legend (Bodhidharma) According to the Jingde of the Lamp, after Bodhidharma left the court of the Liang emperor Wu in 527, he eventually found himself at the Shaolin Monastery, where he "faced a wall for nine years, not speaking for the entire time". According to the Yì Jīn Jīng, after Bodhidharma faced the wall for nine years at Shaolin temple, he left behind an iron chest. When the monks opened this chest they found two books: the "Marrow Cleansing Classic," and the "Muscle Tendon Change Classic", or "Yi Jin Jing" within. The first book was taken by Bodhidharma's disciple Huike, and disappeared; as for the second, the monks selfishly coveted it, practicing the skills therein, falling into heterodox ways, and losing the correct purpose of cultivating the Real. The Shaolin monks have made some fame for themselves through their fighting skill; this is all due to their possession of this manuscript. [edit] History The attribution of Shaolin's martial arts to Bodhidharma has been discounted by some 20th century martial arts historians, first by Tang Hao on the grounds that the Yì Jīn Jīng is a forgery. Huiguang and Sengchou were involved with martial arts before they became two of the very first Shaolin monks, reported as practicing martial arts before the arrival of Bodhidharma.Sengchou's skill with the tin staff is even documented in the Chinese Buddhist canon. Records of the discovery of arms caches in the monasteries of Chang'an during government raids in AD 446 suggests that Chinese monks practiced martial arts prior to the establishment of the Shaolin Monastery in 497. Monks came from the ranks of the population among whom the martial arts were widely practiced prior to the introduction of Buddhism. There are indications that Huiguang, Sengchou and even Huike, Bodhidarma's immediate successor as Patriarch of Chán Buddhism, may have been military men before retiring to the monastic life. Moreover, Chinese monasteries, not unlike those of Europe, in many ways were effectively large landed estates, that is, sources of considerable regular income which required protection. In addition, the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, the Bibliographies in the Book of the Han Dynasty and the Records of the Grand Historian all document the existence of martial arts in China before Bodhidharma. The martial arts Shuāi Jiāo and Sun Bin Quan, to name two, predate the establishment of the Shaolin Monastery by centuries. |

![]() | McCain says Obama was wrong, but is the surge really working Sen. John McCain holds a short press conference Sunday after meeting with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari. --------------------------------------- Is the surge really working, and if so, are we winning based on strategy, by default, or are there other factors at play... and at what cost to long-term peace in Iraq? Which I thought was our goal. I'd like to ask McCain if ethnic cleansing, or the deals between U.S. forces and Sunni tribes has anything to do with this so-called success, and what is going to happen when our troops leave. Oh, I forgot! John McCain doesn't think that the troops coming home is important. And, therefore, has no evacuation plan. The bottom line is, the Shiite militias is not the type to just give up! And I think it is foolish to think of your inactivity or quiescence, as a victory. |

![]() | 362 Section 5, Chapter 54 - Yoga Vasistha Stories of self-realisation, in this case, of Uddalaka. After reaching the supreme state Uddalaka continued with his yogic practices. Others continue with everyday activities but Uddalaka's practices are yogic pertaining to pranayama and kundalini. They are not relevant to self-enquiry. Uddalaka's yogic practice is described. He sits in the lotus posture and intones OM sending his being into vibration. He exhales completely as though his life-force has left his body. A fire arises in his heart. Hatha yoga comes in for some criticism. After another OM he attains equilibrium leading to quiescence of the life-force. His body is reduced to ashes. The experience is clearly of a shamanic nature. The ashes are dispersed by the wind into space. After the OM had reached its culmination there is a drawing-in of the life-forces.The moon spills its nectar on the ashes forming a purified deity. He focuses his mind in inner silence and withdraws his senses equalising prana and apana. He becomes aware of his latent tendencies and shuts himself off from any distraction. |
