You have to know what you're doing.

Oh next life! Pshaw. Don't believe in any such thing. Although if there is a next life, undoubtedly will come back as rabbit or nannygoat! You're wanting details? Not entirely sure it's a ghost, but some sort of entity. Great in the sack, terrible sense of timing sometimes. Although he is amenable to take a raincheck if it's a really really bad time like when I'm driving. I'd say the best thing about it is the quiet. He seems to chase off all the empath white noise and random explorers, I am no longer Grand Central. Strong sense of protection. Still occasionally get dying people or people in extreme emotional circumstances, but for the most part I'm lots more serene. Also strong feeling of being cherished, which is nice, although of course imaginary. Probably my own animus! Can't really tell. I will check out your references, thank you! Oh, also has reformed me somewhat and my jing stealing ways. I have been remarkable celibate lately!

And they are so eager to give it away. ANYhow...my two cents on getting female energy up, for a woman who doesn't want to do the whole Mantak Chia route--it's pretty easy for us at least to get it to our chests because we (generally) don't ejaculate, so we've got the energy pent up. Focus on the chest. Lots of yab yum, fully clothed from the waist down, naked on top. Watch romantic chick flicks and you be that guy, particularly with your chest exposed. That will naturally pull her energy up. Oh, also of course lots of breast and nipple stimulation, but not too hard or you could stimulate too much oxytocin and drop her libido.

Goddamned PUA crap. It sometimes works, but at what cost? Who wants a woman who's only interested in a false you? I think even this board isn't a good approach for you. You need very basic practical advice. I'm a big fan of fish oil for helping with depression and improving self confidence--those things have to do with neurotransmitter imbalance, and better to fix the underlying malnutrition than use prescription antidepressants. But in addition--do things with women. And not necessarily pretty women. In fact, at the beginning, better that they are old and ugly. No stress. Sign up for something useful that requires that you interact with women, some kind of volunteer work or class. The girlier, the better. A Pilates class, or scrapbooking or something. Anything! And when you are there, talk. Talk to old ladies, talk to fat ladies, talk to all ladies, be conversational, be useful. You have to master the art of conversation, and it is an art, before you can effectively chat up the ladies you really want to get to know.

Your pH is off. Again, try my diet, that should also fix that. Hmm...I though Buddhism wanted to disengage from the cycle of suffering and the material world or something like that. If it in instead searching for balance within the material world, I am closer to that. I do not find the evidence for past lives conclusive.

Since I don't actually believe in the continuity of the soul I have a very different perspective from you. I believe that each individual's life starts at birth and ends at death. At death everything is done. I do believe in astrology very strongly. I believe that gods and goddesses are thoughtforms expressing the influence of individual planets. For example, Hathor represents the planet Venus. She is a very silly Venus, famous for doing a burlesque strip tease to make the god Ra laugh and stop sulking. She's also very frivolous, the goddess of makeup and drunkenness, along with being your standard mother goddess. Hot tempered too, changing into the ferocious lioness goddess Sekhmet when she loses her temper. My Venus is in Aquarius, and with my chart it is very good to focus on my Venus to bring my chart and my life into balance. I focus both on balance and being in harmony with the material world as much as possible. The importance of those two things in my life convinced me that in some ways I am a taoist. I believe that some suffering impels us to work hard, avoid things that are bad for us, and deepens our character. Both individuals and humanity can work at decreasing suffering in the world, for example working for social justice, beneficial science and medicine, etc. I believe this sort of thing is brought by the influence of the planet Saturn and asteroid Chiron. In my view, Buddhism has its place for when the burden of a person's natal chart is too much to be borne. Meditation and the principles that Buddha taught can free oneself of the burden of the astrological cycles in one's lifetime rather than at death. So it's there as a refuge for difficult transits and difficult charts. But I'd like to be engaged with what's laid out for me and try to balance, at least so far, rather than trying to disengage.

Yes, his tips on the mechanics of sex are good, but he ripped those off from other better people and he uses those tips to convince people he's right about his herbals and his highly peculiar theories on physiology.

small world. I am zaneblue in that post.

I suppose I don't know enough about Buddhism, I was under the impression that Buddhists didn't worship anything. Or maybe that's what you mean by opposite. I wouldn't say I worship Hathor, but I follow her, I belong to her

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't care for that.

I don't believe in reincarnation or an afterlife. I don't think Buddhism is particularly repressive, just that its goals don't appeal to me. I think that suffering is a gift from the gods. As for a supernatural realm, I do believe in that. There is a time to live in the fourth, eighth and twelfth houses, but I am quite certain that my idea of those places is not what you would consider the nature beyond birth and death. All three have illusion mixed in them. The fourth is magic, particularly women's magic. The eighth is the occult and deals with one-on-one relationships and power and control. The twelfth is a place of dreams, dissolution and fantasy. Each has their place in a balanced life, and depending on a person's chart they may do well dwelling longer than most in such places, but no one can live solely in the watery realms.

I've had a crown chakra orgasm. I've experienced the cosmic oneness with the universe that that brings, and it was interesting, I don't regret having the experience, and I see how I could have one of those during sex if I were in the yab yum position and did the other things I did. I know lots of people want to have those as much as possible, but once was enough for me. Also I didn't like the loss of fear that came after that for a few weeks. Fear is an efficient motivator to get things done in daily life. The memory of that experience is enough to help me overcome fear when that is necessary, but I like preserving my animal instincts as much as possible, and fear is most certainly an animal instinct. I do like feeling carnal desire and an individual separateness coming together with my partner. I don't want the loss of ego and blending with the cosmos and my partner at the same time. I'm not Buddhist at all, I am most definitely the opposite of Buddhist. My preference for higher chakra orgasms is primarily the fourth. Fourth chakra orgasmic outpourings are very feminine and fulfilling for me. I also like opening up and receiving at the sixth chakra, but it's hard to find a man with a good pair of horns on him. I am quite pagan, earthy and celebrate my animal nature. Serene Blue, not sure what a perineum pump is, but if they are Kegels, while that sort of activity can be a double-edged sword for men, I've never heard of any danger in women engaging in that practice. But anyhow, I am glad you will get my book, because I think it will be helpful for you to have a robust sexual baseline to work from if you want to get into the more esoteric tantric practices. Good nutrition I think will help lay the foundation.

You've never had an orgasm! Before you get started with all the esoteric things, I think you should start with the basics. My book, The Orgasmic Diet, is pretty cheap now on amazon, even cheaper used. Start off with that and start having regular orgasms, then you can get to the advanced practices of not having them. That's my two cents! There's a whole chapter in the book devoted to women who have never had an orgasm. If you decide to try it, let me know how it goes.

I am worldly, yes. Not interested in enlightenment. Also not interested in dispassionate sex. However I do have the sexual abilities that involve the higher chakras.

drewhempel, your body needs nutritious food. Occasional fasting is fine, but it will kill you if you starve yourself. That is not the right path. Personally I think strong attachment is healthy and good, and an attitude of non-attachment, particularly during sex, is as unnatural for the body as starving oneself of food.

Men and enlightenment. Gah, this board is so frustrating sometimes!

Two things I believe incorrect with what you said. First off, when it comes to heart energy, it's not the healer and the female. Heart energy is given by the female, the male is the receptor. I know women can do male third eye things and I assume men can do female heart chakra things too with practice, but I believe it's unnatural for both. It is natural (although hard to get it up there) for men to ejaculate energy from the third eye, just as it is natural for women to ejaculate energy from the heart. I am sexist in this regard. I think a woman reaches her highest fulfillment with this heart chakra ejaculation, and the other things, even the crown chakra orgasm, while nice are not truly satisfying the way a heart chakra orgasm is. And the second thing, that makes me sad--yes a crown chakra orgasm is impersonal, it's beyond impersonal leading to the loss of the self. But an outpouring of energy from the sixth chakra is for another person--it's more specifically intimate than even a woman's heart chakra orgasm. Are you using your third eye horn with penetration into a woman's third eye opening? Or am I misunderstanding? Because that is very intimate and bonding, it is almost a soul exchange. And that I believe is the highest form of tantra, a crown chakra orgasm is just a circuit breaker for too much energy in the cranium.

Dayum, what am I, Dr. Bombay? Must just be coincidence. Anyway, the reason I'm reading this thread: Mr. drewhempel, my male counterpart in sexual over-the-top giggle-inducing lovely craziness, I like your priorities. You are not trying to "use" this energy for something unnatural, you are using it as it is intended to be used. For women. I give you a gold star. But I have to ask, with all your considerable gifts and prowess, are you considering a special someone someone? On the one hand finding a girlfriend would probably be considerably difficult with the lack of concern for money and practical considerations--women like those practical men. But it seems a waste to let your talents not be used to their fullest, surely there is some young woman of discernment in your environs? As for the orgasm at a distance thing, I assume we aren't talking nighttime wet dream sorts of things, NOT that I would do that *cough* but rather than a jing shoplifting, a simple give orgasm from stimulation, cause and effect, no I can't do that from a distance, at least not yet. Most men's hearts aren't open enough and even when they are I have to do it chest to chest, although have done it during social hugs, etc., fully clothed with the recipient unawares (until he felt it). The problem with that is unlike giving a woman a vaginal O at D, a heart orgasm triggers emotional connection, so I've learned to be more selective in the men I give them to.

It's really isolating and alienating from other people. Like, several years ago I was frantic about the coming economic collapse, trying to warn people, and everyone just laughed at me and were very insulting. The things I do see visually I see very differently from other people, with a different importance attached to various parts. The actual third eye sensations for me aren't literally visual, per se, but visual analogies are the easiest way to explain the sensations to someone who hasn't experienced it, or rather really good animation. Two literary analogies come to mind. First, in the children's Curdie books, he gains the power to shake someone's hand and feel what they are like inside. It's like that, you can look in a person and feel the sort of fellow they are. The second is from the Earthsea books, in Tehanu. That describes the change even better, when the narrative switches from the woman to the dragon girl. And the lies of Pluto-type entities--controlling people, large corporations, any sort of incorporation--they become obvious and it becomes astounding that other people fall for what you can "see" so clearly. From a physiological point of view, I suppose it's like when you vividly imagine things. If you are deliberately working very hard to imagine, say, a golden nimbus of light around someone, you can eventually "make" yourself see that. But of course you know it's your imagination because you know it was an exercise of will. That sort of sensation comes unbidden with the third eye open, in response to outside stimulus, so in that sense it feels like "seeing." And unlike imagination, it's one way and not another way, you don't have a choice in what you "see." One of the things I feel very clearly is how the Earth has a fever. It's this constant background awareness and it makes me frantic. I'm not sure if humanity can do enough politically in time, but it has definitely changed my priorities and given me a frantic urgency in fighting climate change.

As for the family bed arguments, indigenous people's practices don't apply here. For example, my grandmother who grew up on a farm in the old country, she had her first period when she was 18, the day she got engaged. Because of the estrogenic properties of chemicals in our environment and the way we feed our livestock and also better nutrition in some ways, American girls are sometimes having their periods at ten, and entering puberty at eight. And cat, yes, you are quite right about my initial bias against Max. But I don't think my experience was merely a product of my unconscious mind.

I have a master now, so I am restricted. No more shenanigans!

Veeeery interesting thread. I will post my experience again, from way back. I think it is unique on this board. You know, I am a witch, and have zero training in taoist practice. On the contrary, I am very open with no protection. I am very easily hypnotized; I go under at movies with hypnosis scenes. On the other hand, I keep my eyes open. So, for example, I went to an "energy share" once here in Boston a few years back that has been meeting once a month for some years. Part of it was sitting across from each other person in the room, gazing into each other's eyes and telling the other person what we saw, kind of a soulful conga line (we kept switching partners every ten minutes). When I was across from the host I told him he was an energy vampire and he was taking energy from his guests. He colored violently, took me aside and said I was the first person who saw that, saw what he was doing. Most of the guests were young healthy college students and they seemed to enjoy the slight draining he was doing, so I kept it to myself. Sometimes a little bloodletting is good for health. I don't know a damn thing about aliens or lineages or whatnot, but I do know this--I attacked Max. It was playful, but it was an attack. I was annoyed with that whole hundred days thing that he recommended, and I suppose fed up in general with selfish taoist men hoarding their sixth chakra energy, so I reached out and found him and tried to take from him in a playful way. It was like hooking a sea monster--once that connection was established he came roaring back at me and took everything from me, my name, and more importantly and terrifying he took something I don't even want to say because I feel so protective, but enough to say it is the most important to me and has been for some years and I forgot what it was, he made me forget it. Now I attacked the man, so I deserved what I got, but the power of him was so strong it was frightening to me. Maybe all taoist wizards have the ability to be energy vampires and don't use it, so maybe I was sensing his latent power and not a power that he exerted, or maybe he's got some kind of automatic protection around him that he set up, I don't know, but watching the videos of him I was deeply unsettled. On the other hand, Yoda and Taomeow started the practice and were very pleased, so I chalked it up to an overactive imagination, because I trust them both. But after reading this thread, I think those taoists who are strongest, with the most practice are the best candidates for Kunlun. They will benefit the most without suffering any ill effects. But I don't think those people are the one he wants, so after a time he sends them away to other teachers. I think he does the same on the other end of the spectrum, people who crack up and flake out he sends to other teachers. But I think he might be tapping the people in the middle, not to say you're a middle person Yoda! But I suppose I am saying that. I'm saying something else--8-years-old is way too old for family bed, WAY too old. Especially if you are getting night visitors, she should be in a different room.

I experienced a crown chakra orgasm for the first time a few days ago. I am very earthy, not very spiritual. While I enjoyed the experience and had the one with everything feeling and the nectar and a feeling of warm honey poured over my head, I'm really trying for sixth chakra orgasms, which I haven't had yet. I saw the thread down below about the White Tigress teachings. I am not that sort of vampire; I am not a vampire at all although I am a witch. I do take men's chi but immediately give it back in heart chakra orgasms into their chests. I would like the experience of giving a heart chakra orgasm and receiving chi energy back at the sixth chakra. I am not a chi hoarder, and pass it along as soon as I receive it if the man is open to it. Just wanted to defend my sex. I do not practice Qi Gong or Tai Chi; I cultivate sexual energy by having a tremendous number of spontaneous vaginal orgasms every day, and I also follow a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids. The chi I generate on my own I also give to men freely (fully clothed and without sexual contact). Men seem to need it. The crown chakra orgasm I had a few days ago seems to have depleted all my chi energy; I think it will take a few weeks for me to build back to normal levels for me.

I've been following Hathor for a long time, but I'm trying to get my pantheon consistent. My Mercury energy must be increased, and of course that means Thoth. It's hard to find out Thoth things (say that five times fast! ) because Google is all muddied up with alchemy and Aleister Crowley. Does anyone know if Thoth likes kyphi? Hathor likes myrrh. I've found a Thoth storax reference, but I'd like to find out for sure. I know some of you here are hep to the old ways, so I thought I would ask!
