There may be something with the supernatural side of things, but the main reason for the increase in earthquakes and volcanoes and tidal waves is quite simple--global warming. It's a direct cause and effect. As the glaciers in Antarctica http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/factsofthematter/20100416_Glaciers_retreat_puts_strain_on_ecosystems.html and in other places around the globe, it is suddenly (in geological terms) removing weight from spots on the earth's tectonic plates. This causes movement and shifting, causing earthquakes, volcanoes and tidal waves.

Quite right! LOL at disguising.

So no takers then. Well, it was worth a try--I know the taobums are very adventurous. Please PM me if you know any woman who would be up for it.

LOL, yes it's true. Although I'm getting the feeling the reason they want me on is purely for my ability to get women on the show. I've already been on Rachael Ray's show and Katie Morgan's show, been interviewed by around fifty radio shows, had articles in Self and Elle on my book, but that was when the book first came out. I'm surprised by this one coming out of the blue after all my other publicity is over. They will fly any woman or couple in the United States to the show, put them up in a hotel the night before, etc. If you've never been to Manhattan, could be a little mini-vacation--you have the afternoon free after the show shoots in the morning. To prove I'm me, here, here's a photobucket picture of me: And here's a link to my book, with official picture http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=73839

I know this is hardly taoist, but was wondering if people had any similar experiences with Thoth energy? I'm your typical neo-pagan eclectic witch and follow the Egyptian pantheon. This of course is not serious Egyptian magic; it's all mixed up with the Gardnerian tradition and do-it-yourselfness. I'm fluffy bunny. At any rate Hathor told me to follow Thoth, and I've been following him now for a while and I feel completely upside down. I used to be fairly confident in what I knew, and in the meaning of what I had experienced, and now I've been in total confusion for a few weeks now. I feel like I'm radically changing and have no idea what is happening to me. I'm able to function fine in the real world, better than usual actually, and I'm fine with my kids, but everything else I am totally wobbly. Things are shifting and changing around me so fast I can hardly get my bearings. The only things that are stable are Thoth himself and my daily mundane life. I don't think I've ever been this confused before.

He's a beginner. But that's wonderful that he's on this path!

This is very reassuring--it does feel as if I have been "stripped of my magic." Thank you everyone!

I guess the most fundamental thing is the change in personality. For well on twelve years now I've been very relaxed and pleasure-filled and horny. I've been placid. I could literally stare off into space and think of absolutely nothing. My mind would be a complete blank. I was also almost completely self-sufficient. Of course I appreciated men and they turned me on, but I had no strong desire to find someone special. I easily had transcendental mystical sexual experiences, and I desired to have them. I've gone from someone who could lie in bed all day and have hundreds of orgasms (on my rare days off when I was alone), to someone who is very angry and impatient. My anger is a particular kind of anger, when something is "not right." There is the way things should be which I can see with blinding clarity, and when they are not that I get vexed. And I'm restless, my body is especially restless. I joined a gym! This is downright comical. I went from being the most patient, placid person in the world to a flighty fidgeter. And the things I valued, I still value them, I remember, but my desires have changed. For a while I wasn't orgasmic, but that has come back. Not quite as strong as before, but I think that is due to being more particular in what turns me on. The weirdest thing is my obsession with the material world. I used to be pretty dreamy and mystical, now I obsess over fresh produce, getting a bargain, and tracking my receipts. I have the uncanny certainty that I am getting ready for something, and this is still with the sun in my twelfth house. By next weekend I know it will be much more pronounced, this real world focus. I'd say I was acting crazy, but the way I am acting now is actually much more conforming to what most people would consider sane. The crazy thing is that it is so radically different so suddenly, in a matter of a couple months my entire personality has shifted, at least internally.

No woman "has" to pay for "it." Some women like to pay so they aren't bothered by guys freaking out on them and getting all emotional or stalkery. Others like to pay to get really first-rate foreplay. Still others are into different kinks like BDSM that require a special skill set and a lot of work. I was in a LTR with a guy, a long time ago, who used to be a gigolo. His bedroom skills were phenomenal. His clientele was mostly bored trophy wives--he said they were quite good-looking. It messed him up sexually because they demanded that he have ridiculous stamina, so after a while he had problems simply ejaculating. In other words, women pay for control, not because they can't get some drunk frat boy to fuck them and pass out.

*slaps knee* oh whew. Trust me. ANY woman can get laid, at any time. I don't care if she's a 300 pound 65-year-old. Unless the woman has some kind of disfiguring disease like leprosy or something, if a woman wants sex she can be screwing within 24 hours.

Find a person to bond with. Then you will mostly hear that person, and the other people will become fainter. Choose carefully!

Because that is who has been visiting me now. And unlike my other entities, even when Hathor was knocking around, all manifestations were internal, for the most part. This one has external manifestations. That's why I thought this entity wasn't a person, because a person isn't strong enough to change external reality. Although maybe Max is strong enough now to do that--is he larking about as Tehuti, as Thoth? I find that hard to believe, though, not that he wouldn't do that, but that I would get particular attention. Although maybe it's not that I am getting particular attention, maybe I'm just soaking up the general broadcast emanations. It doesn't feel like Max though--Max has a definite Bugs Bunny flavor. On the other hand, I am very gullible. Oy.

I was wondering if it was just a boy thing. Clearly not! I can't do this at all. I can only listen when people send or send to people.

That's excellent!

Yes rain, I am frequently an ignorant fool. If I knew what I was doing I wouldn't be here to find things out! I did some experiments early this morning after yesterday's caffeine had worn off. I only generate energy when I orgasm, not simply from flexing my PC muscles. Maybe I'm converting my jing to do that or something like that, but it doesn't feel like it. I don't feel depleted from menstruation either. I think women physically lose jing through breastfeeding and of course giving birth. The best stimulation for these types of orgasms is deep eye contact.

For the record, and I don't this think will work for men at all, I didn't have monkey mind during this period. My high dopamine gives off a faint stoned feeling most of the time, my thoughts are comically mellow. I'm able to sit and just stare off into space, literally thinking of nothing. When I was mentally focused it was on what was mentioned in another thread here, the lower mind. Three things mostly--penis, the man I was obsessed with, and having sex--and various combinations of those three things. That's what got the energy to rise.

whoops, was responding to SereneBlue Yes and no. On the one hand, the Indian diet would be a decent source of omega-3 fatty acids if there was ghee in it--the Indian cows eat grass so their milk is high in omega-3s. On the other hand, they eat a lot of starchy food, and starches, particularly without oils or proteins, can interfere with this effect. Were there dietary recommendations for women? I would say, to get the best effect--complete avoidance of tea, and eat a diet high in ghee and other animal fats, then a fast for a day or so before trying, with maybe breaking the fast with pure ghee, or maybe mixed with something like honey to make it palatable. Did he say anything like that?

What happens when I donate some blood is I feel like hell until my body makes new blood. Also faint a lot. That's why I don't give blood anymore, low blood pressure. I'm being a moron. I had tea this morning--I couldn't have a spontaneous orgasm if Stephen Colbert were standing in front of me naked. So ignore what I said about the flexing, I can't draw conclusions from my current state--it tamps down the sexual energy. When I had the crown chakra orgasm, it felt like this: except it only lasted for about twenty minutes as far as I could tell. I had aftereffects for several months afterward, including for a couple weeks an inability to have orgasms at all, if I'm remembering correctly.

They also do it too low on the forehead. By the way, I have had a crown chakra outpouring of sexual energy. Does that mean, according to his definition, that I have reached enlightenment?

Well now THAT explains a lot!

I can flex my PC muscles indefinitely without orgasming if I am not thinking of someone. It gets me aroused, but I do not orgasm. I didn't realize that about myself. I had to delay the experiment because I was fighting off a cold.

Yes, that is what I do. Except he seems to say not to orgasm. I do orgasm. The energy doesn't rise unless I am like Nut looking at Geb. Longing from a distance. On the contrary, if a man ejaculates into me I can return the energy through the chest within minutes, it rises naturally.

That is just the way men are. They are visual. We are olfactory. Wouldn't you do the same if you met a man and he smelled bad to you? Also this is why I have been fat for the last several years--it works very well as a man-repellent, for the most part.

Yes, that is what I meant.

Well it's written in Chinese characters. There is a coworker here who is Chinese, I will bring it in and have him translate.
