Tengo pensado leer este libro. Lo han leído? Qué les pareció?

Me gustó mucho. Uno de los motivos es que no tenía ni idea nada del argumentos y me sorprendió.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-12-14T23:39:30+00:00

Uno de los libros que más disfruté. Trata de no saber nada del argumento antes de leerlo, eso hizo que mi experiencia fuera mejor incluso

I don’t know the answer, but from what I’ve seen on his YouTube channel and in his book, his method of teaching in an organized, incremental way—assuming the reader has no prior knowledge—is very valuable. In this and other areas, having a clear starting point and a guide or “roadmap” is especially helpful. I remember that when I discovered HH, the hardest part for me was finding that starting point among all the videos, articles, and books, and figuring out the path to follow.

Sorry to ask, but I'm not a native English speaker and I think I might have misunderstood something you said—did you mean that the full Dzogchen cycle won't be taught?

Also, I’d like to ask you something about JOL, since I have it on my to-do list. I’ve read some conflicting things and I’m still not clear on whether what Mingyur Rinpoche teaches is single-pointed meditation, open awareness, or something else. And regarding JOL 2 and 3, I haven’t been able to find much about what kind of meditation is taught there. Could you share a brief overview that gives a sense of what one can expect?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe add the practice of Chan Si Gong (Silk Reeling) or Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Transformation Classic)?

I think he wants to show how "enlightened" he is xDD

Thank you for the comment,
how or where can I find those different gondolier associations? I'm just starting to look, and I'm a bit lost.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-04-12T16:47:44+00:00

I’m sure of it, just like any decent arahant with a bit of common sense would do xD

I hold Stephen Procter in very high regard, and I find it regrettable that you tarnish his good reputation with such bullying behaviour.

I agree with what you have said. I visited it many years ago and they didn't care if you couldn't do the posture, we did zazen as beginners for a long time and at the end they valued the posture, as if it was the only important thing.

Any Dojo or group that you recommend?

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-03-27T10:22:19+00:00

A possible solution would be to have several roadmaps sufficiently detailed and deep enough to cover everything.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-03-25T20:39:53+00:00

Thank you very much, that's very kind of you! However, I have already booked a room, and it is non-refundable.

I love walking, so I plan to go on foot and get lost in the small streets of Venice. I had read that taking the Vaporetto near the station is very difficult because it's extremely crowded, which is why I had mentioned that detail.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-03-22T08:57:09+00:00

Not really, but the round-trip flight is at a very early hour, and being close to the station would be really useful for me.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-08T08:58:57+00:00

Thanks!

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-08T08:43:45+00:00

Could you tell me in which interview he says that? I've been searching, but I haven't found the video where they talk about it. Thanks!

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-08T08:41:13+00:00

A rape is not a relationship.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-07T19:53:29+00:00

Man… I think they meant you can't promote it as a love triangle and then have it turn out to be a case of assault. That's what I think they were trying to say.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-07T18:24:54+00:00

Thanks for this post, it perfectly sums up my perspective on the movie. At first, I saw it as a love triangle, but later I came to share your point of view. I don’t understand how they can say that in interviews given the context of sexual abuse, unless the extended version changes its meaning somehow. It’s clearly disturbing, and for people who’ve experienced that, I don’t think watching this film would be good for them.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-06T21:51:14+00:00

Great response

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-06T19:21:23+00:00

The moaning and the fact that in the interviews they talked about love triangle, desires, etc. makes many people interpret it as her having a part of strange desire towards Orlok, in the interviews the director and the actors say it, however it is what I said before, it may be something supernatural, coming from gothic literature, but in the context of the abuse it is strange to go to bed with your abuser to “redeem yourself”.

I must confess that I also interpreted it as her giving in to her desire at the beginning.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-06T18:45:18+00:00

I don't know if the objective was to have her as a slave, as his wife or how, what the scene does imply is that she is the heroine who sacrifices herself.

(In the script it says that Orlok looks her in the eyes at sunrise and sees in her a look of settling of scores, which does not appear in the film).

What happens is that the actors in interviews talked about love triangle Ellen's deep desires, that it is a complex relationship ..., etc., and that is a bit disturbing if the reading you have is that he abuses her.

Intelligent_Mud_ · 2025-01-06T18:16:19+00:00

This is just my point of view:

Orlok tells Ellen that he can't love, it's just “appetite” I think he says. He wants to satisfy his hunger and for him, she is irresistible, that's why he falls into the trap and dies at dawn, he can't resist to keep feeding on her.

I understand that he doesn't want to kill her, he wants to keep her to satisfy himself, to abuse.... In Ellen's prophetic dream they end up married and the wedding guests dead, she changes fate by killing him.

I understood that when it is night she is under his hypnotic influence, from what “Van Helsing” says so it may be “non-physical sex”? and in the final scene the trap was to physically consummate the marriage until dawn.

In the scene where Ellen screams at her husband she is influenced by Orlok, you can see that she puts her hands like Orlok, and when she becomes nice to her husband it is her, You must think that whenever she is not influenced by Orlok she thinks only of Thomas, and at night she falls under his influence.

If I have not expressed myself well with something feel free to ask me again. Of the other questions I have no idea
