The point is that Vaj said: "" Regarding the teachings, I was told that I should not accept any teachings blindly, but to test them as if I was testing gold. In other words pound them to see if they are malleable and not fools gold, melt them, mold them, etc.--test them from every angle to see if they have meaning. Then, apply them in practice. Then, and only then, would the teachings come to live inside of me as part of me."" And you said ""exactly"" And I asked of those generally involved (or not) in the thread: ""So if you have a technique that brings waves of bliss crashing through the walls, and that you can literally 'see' repairing and enhancing neurological connections in your brain while you sleep, and that actually improves your spine and heals the cells in your body spontaneously, and you can personally feel this very concretely, and this new awareness gained from said technique,allows you to see directly (even during sleep) into the pure zone of existence that underlies the cosmos, and perceive clearly the pure bliss that is so intense it is almost scary, and a technique that allows your body to feel incredibly weightless and to hop effortlessly, without physical intention, in lotus, in a kind of incredible, blissful, purifying, powerful, and almost miraculous way. If this is one's real and concrete experiences.......then, under the afore-mentioned criteria, should one consider that technique worthy of following?""
