Remind me not to answer your questions either.

Whatever dude! It's your psychological well-being, you can do anything you want with it. You might actually look quite fetching in a (extremely) long-sleeved white jacket.
:namaste:

Why would I need to learn all sorts of visulazations and so forth for a NATURAL, although scary, phenomenon?

Everyone projects every night.
You wouldn't. Night practice visualizations are pretty simple. But having a teacher is crucial to practice Vajrayana and Dzogchen. Don't you have a teacher?

Vajrayana or Dzogchen is not missionary and one connects with them due to past karma and/or free will. Direct transmissions' various methods might be conditioned in execution but their fruit is not. Other waste of human time methods do not, in comparison, bear fruit anything like vajrayana never mind the ultimate fruit like the lineage's direct transmission.

Dzogchen masters I know say: 1)Buddhist religion essence is Dzogchen 2)Religions are positive by intent/fruit 3)Any method's OK unless: breaking Dzogchen vows, mixed as syncretic (Milanese Soup) 4)Don't join mandalas of opponents of Dalai Lama/Padmasambhava: False Deity inventors by encouraging victims 5)Don't debate Ati with others 6)Don't discuss Ati practices online 7) A master told his old disciple: no one's to discuss his teaching with some others on a former forum nor mention him. Publicity's OK, questions are asked from masters/set teachers in person/email/non-public forums~Best wishes

I NEVER claimed to practice Vajrayana or Dzogchen.

Read my sig. I've had the same one for several days.

Firstly, it seems strange to me that people caring about your psychological well being would be reason for them to get on your nerves. Secondly, do not project the source of your shortcomings onto me. There is only one person responsible for who and what you are: YOU!

If you don't practice Vajrayana or Dzogchen, you shouldn't speak about them with such certainty then, friend. Sometimes I don't read the threads as closely as I should and answer a specific post within them. :smile:

Listen, I don't want you to think I'm hostile towards you. I even have a good feeling about you, a warm sympathy. Don't ask me why, because fellows like you usually get on my nerves, but you haven't. A bit strange, since I can have a temper (my bad, I know).

When I write you I don't want you to take me in the wrong way. I believe others here aren't being hostile either. I guess we all have just seen or heard about enough stories of people going nuts because they decided to approach Vajrayana without the due cations. This is serious stuff you know? It may mess you up in a way that your life goes down the drain in no time. For real. So we aren't being hysterical or anything. We just don't want you or anyone else to end up in an asylum.

I am NOT approaching Vajrayana. :crying:

My point is that I was working with chakras and OBE WAY BEFORE I EVEN HEARD OF "COMPLETION STAGE"

My second point is that I realized the nature of the mind WAY BEFORE I EVEN HEARD OF VAJRAYANA OR DZOGCHEN

you think so? this doesn't mean you would not benefit from one-on-one with a qualified instructor. you seem rather interested in dzogpa chenpo and the vajrayana in particular...so why not seek someone out? What could it hurt?

OBE work doesn't sound classically Indian.
It sound typically New Age.

Now, if you could figure out these things without a teacher, you must be enlightened!
If any of us could figure it out, we'd be enlightened already-- long before Buddha
Shakyamuni appeared. Not need for him. Let's all bow to the superior wisdom
of Enochian.

No need for a Buddhist Dharma Wheel website, let's all go to Enochian.net.

Don't you think? ;)

That would be the less amazing, the OBE stuff I mean.
That is an experience that may happen totally by accident, like lucid dreaming.
The surprising part is: My second point is that I realized the nature of the mind WAY BEFORE I EVEN HEARD OF VAJRAYANA OR DZOGCHEN.
This is harder to believe. I think it's possible, but rare. Even so one needs a teacher afterwards, being the case. However, most who claim this simply think they got it while in fact they haven't. Not saying it's your case.

i guess that means that getting married is undesirable,
there are vows to that too. Any relationship has rules.
