Stages of karmic purification in 10 video clips

Here is a pretty unique study or demonstration of the last stages of karmic purification filmed in 10 video clips between 2013-2014. Look through them carefully and attentively. Perhaps you notice a change taking place along the way. Feel free to comment.

Thank you for the link.   That, I take it, was not his sole practice?  Merely a way to record progress.
Without further description, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get from this.  I have seen people sit still without blinking for two hours, and they still had "Dukkha", although less than before.

It does get me to ask what his practice(s) is.  He has disabled comments.

Hi Colleen,

It's me in the videos. Yes, I have disabled the Tube-comments because there were so many Christian fundamentalists flooding the comments.

No, sitting without blinking hasn't been my main practice, this is just recorded documentation. I am practitioner and teacher of tantric yoga.

The purpose why I filmed these clips is to show/demonstrate how karmic purification progresses at it's last stages. I did this mainly for those who study with me but anyone can surely study and evaluate them. It's not rocket science, you know. Basically when you take any spiritual practitioners photo 5 or 10 or 20 years ago and compare it with a newly taken shot (assuming that one has continued practicing), you can see that a change has taken place.

How you can study/evaluate these clips? Meet the stare and feel it. This is not a "transmission of energy" (not at least per se), that is not the point. When ones perception becomes subtle and ones own mind becomes clear, one can notice very subtle changes in other persons karmic state. One can feel if there are still karmic knots, impressions and impulses going on in the bodymind. Myself I feel sort of tingling in my limbs if the person/teacher being studied still has personal karmas and therefore is not liberated (jivanmukta/arhat). This is because the subconscious mind which stores all the karmas is mostly in the area of limbs. Stream-entry on the other hand can be most directly observed right between the eyes, that's where the I-sense (subject) falls off (or hangs on).

How I came to study like this?

This is nothing new. I have over a decade background of zen calligraphy in addition to tantric yoga where you get initiatied and meditate different kinds of spiritual energies (shakti). I studied zen calligraphy (hitsuzendo) with a Japanese master. Perhaps the most central element in this practice is not to yield the brush but to be able to evaluate the energy what the writer (could be a zen monk, a master or a tantric master) has instilled into the piece. All the Chinese characters are not important. The energy (jap. bokki) tells everything about the writer: what is his state of awareness and integration during writing the piece and so on. It is all there, the writer's spiritual/mind-state, and it can be sensed with bodymind-listening. I have an in-depth background in this. I also have a gallery of zen/buddhist calligraphy just because of this reason. Perhaps a hundred scrolls at the closet by various yogis and practitioners from China and Japan, just for the study of this.

Cheers,
Baba

Hello, Kim
I re-visited the video, pushing aside my intellect.   Seeing all and seeing nothing.

I used to sit with people doing this drill for hours and we would take turns coaching and "flunking" each other with the desired end result that one would experience the environment with "no mind", no overlay of mental machinations on the environment.   At session #8, for example, I would have said, "Flunk for right eyebrow twitch.  Start."  I often was flunked for using my chin.  Even a chin and even an eyebrow has its possibly unexamined purposes.   I used to study Chinese face reading.

Okay, so now I get it, thank you for explaining and, yes, I did notice a change in your beingness -- less psychic mass around you, but felt you still need to keep going -- and seeing that you will.

I acknowledge your abilities gained from your practices.

Oh ok, I see, Chinese face reading. Were the sessions you mention focused on Chinese face reading? Could you give an overall view what it is and what is it's purpose? Psychic readings? Something like that?

Perhaps the eye twitch would have flunked in the sessions you mention. I've had to do that often to make sure that my eyes are well visible because the lighting and the webcam are not perfect.

Sure, I keep on going. But the reason for practice has changed since 7/2014 (in the videos this can be seen since 8/2014). No need to scrub my own bodymind/karmas anymore. The focus is now on helping all beings and specifically my students. Closely linked to this theme I wrote a lengthy article with the title "Actual oneness" which explains to some extent how I feel about the mission of helping and alleviating the suffering of all beings. I posted the article on this forum as well.

Thanks for your input Colleen. I see you have a Finnish heritage. I am Finn, you know emoticon

Hello, Kim,

Am Finnish by marriage and visited that country several years ago.

That face reading and face staring chapter is past and now I do other practices.

I'm reading your actual oneness post and please check my replies, thank you.

Colleen,

It shows that you have posted on the Actual Oneness-thread but for some reason I can't see the message.
