Thanks, I'll check that out. Will just the DVD cover it or do you need the book as well?

From what you said above, I gather that you think Kundalini is make believe / roleplay? Fair play to you, mate! I'm not going to try to defend Hermetics, I don't even practice it anymore. You'd have to go through what I went through to understand really, no point trying to convince you with letters on a screen.

It wouldn't suprise me if there's less than 2 actual Hermeticists in the world right now who have done Bardon IIH. And they would be so far removed from the kind of person who performs tricks for a camera, it's not even funny. You'd understand that if you've read IIH. The elemental condensing breathing in IIH is extremely powerful. Insanely powerful. It can really dislodge you psychologically though which is why there's so many steps leading up to it. I skipped over them to try out the excersises which was a mistake, but I felt the ridiculous power of it. I can't even imagine what someone would be like if they were breathing in the elements on that scale every day for a year. It's easy to understand what you're dealing with if you've practiced a little bit of IIH. E.g. Get to know the fire element. Meditate and imagine yourself evelopped in fire. Get to know the heat until you can actually feel it and feel your body warming up. Increase the heat. Do this for days until the heat becomes more and more real to your energy body. You might start getting angry and explosive throughout the day, in which case you're doing something right. Increase the size of the fireball until it's the size of a house around your body, increase the heat and intensity. It should feel very, very real. Do that for a few days. Breathe in the fire into your body and feel it getting stronger and your body getting hotter. Breathe in again condensing even more fire into your body, getting hotter. Do that again, feel the explosive pressure building. Do this for 7 breathes. At the end of that you will feel extremely hot and explosive. On an emotional level you feel visceral sensations of being very powerful, very violent and very intense. Now that's how far I got and I was loosing my temper in violent outbursts of rage all the time, I got rashes all over my skin, I got fevers etc. I was also getting schizophrenic symptoms feeling like the universe was beginning to revolve around me with sycnrhonicities everywhere like the world was becoming a mirror of MY consciousness. But in IIH you go all the way to having the fireball being not the size of a house, not the size of the Earth, not the size of the Sun, not the size of the Galaxy but the size of the entire damn Universe and condensing all of that fire and heat into your body for several breathes. If you can actually do that then you effectively become the embodiment of the Will and Omnipotence of God incarnate in a physical body. Of course you have to do the previous steps of IIH and balance with the other elements. I severly doubt anyone has got close to that level without going insane, but I don't doubt there's a couple of Bardon initiates out there who are very highly trained at it.

That's the one, I can't find any instructions on what you're to do with the breath/mind though.

This may be different from what you're asking, but from a hermetic perspective, Yang energy is called Electrical Fluid and is hot and expanding. Yin energy is called Magnetic fluid and is cool and contracting. In hermeticism, you can meditate on the feelings of coolness/cold to find the underlying magnetic (yin) property. Also, if you're good with your mind... William Mistele, a Bardon initiate, has an excersise where you imagine someone who you feel embodies great electrical energy and then add to that person another person with great electrical energy. For instance Arnold Shwarzenegger + General Patton.. keep on adding a few people in your mind and fuse them together and feel that power. Then take away all form and just observe and feel that energy. That's electric energy. Do the same for women you find very feminine/magnetic and you're left with magnetic energy which you can observe and feel with your mind.

Wise words, albeit from the dark side of the force:

There's a well known book out there about lucid dreaming, I forget the name atm though. The author talks about a lucid dreamer who in his dream was talking to a dream character who was smoking and told her "You're not real, you're just a dream character". She got pissed and said "really?!" and then stubbed the cigarette on his arm. He woke up with a burn on his arm. I've read anectdotal reports like this elsewhere as well. Personally, I've had dreams where I'd get an energetic feeling and wake up with the same energy in my body. The most intense of these was when I was lucid dreaming and I asked to meet my higher self and then was projected infront of a huge ball of electric blue energy which caused my physical body to convulse in bed. I woke up like that, in convulsions.

I've had this before. For me it was sometimes the imagination of a physical object or action which was say spinning in a direction, but it felt uncomfortable and I wanted to swing it in the other direction to balance it out. I think I even might even of had a mild form of OCD with obsessive thoughts like this. What's helped me the most is Eckhart Tolle, and just observing the thoughts in a non-judgemental way, opening space and letting them dissolve.

Cultivation can have a massive effect on how people react to you. I remember a day when I spent ages doing energy work on my legs and dantian and that day everyone was staring at me when I was walking around. As I was queing up to get into a restaurant later, I had one girl stop and turn around and just stare at me for over 2 minutes straight. The previous day I was just floating around like a nobody. A similar thing goes for semen retention / jing cultivation. There's a huge difference in the way people react to me when I've been cultivating jing. *Also, there's a guy I've read on this forum.. Pythagoreanfulllotus... Drew something or other. His accounts are full of people reacting to his energy fluctuations.

It sounds to me that you have issues around a lack of empathy and selfishness. Forget about romantic love for a bit and just try create a feeling of benevolence where you wish the best for a person, where you enjoy making someone happy and seeing them smile. Ultimately, we're all one. So what you do for others you do for yourself.

I still get heaviness, pulsating and fog in my brow as well due to working on my pineal/3rd-eye many years ago. I find the effects come on when I'm not being very physical and sitting around at a computer or reading a book for a long time. I'm going to give those techniques you mentioned a try.

About 15 minute ago I've developped an intense orgasmic feeling originating in the middle finger of my right hand and between it and the ring finger. It's very strong, and the feeling travels in orgasmic pulses in a line down into the middle of my wrist where it is particularly strong and then down into the inside of my elbow localised to around where the artery sticks out and then travels up into my armpit and slightly accross into my chest. It's so strong, it was literally almost like having an erection with orgasmic feelings, but instead of the penis localised to my hand/wrist/arm. I was paralysed with pleasure for a few minutes. I've had this only once before about a year ago, but not as strong. Has anyone else experienced this? What could it be?

Yes, that kind of describes it... like an orgasmic pleasure maybe with a hint of pleasurable itchy pain. Very interesting how you also experienced this at such a young age! lol, classic

No, I can't say there was any difference in feeling in that area. The feeling was only in the finger, hand, wrist, arm and chest. I did some research, and the feeling seems to correspond exactly to the "Pericardium Meridian"... amazing! It felt like the feeling started at the finger and travelled through the line into my chest rather than going outwards. But the whole area was stimulated so it was hard to tell the direction... the feeling was so strong, I hadn't felt anything quite like it before! A couple of days before that though, after going deep into mindfullness/emptiness, as I was going to sleep I felt a very warm and pleasurable energy travel down from my head, down my spine, feeling orgasmic at my coccyx and then down into my legs/feet and back up again into the groin region. It was intense, but not nearly as intense as this arm feeling I had yesterday. I've done nothing specifically for awhile... but I had practiced Robert Bruce's NEW Energy Ways on my arms and hands about a week before. I'd do it daily on my feet including that day. I've also been doing semen retention for 14 days. But with semen retention I usually feel energy going up into my head, this was completely different.

It's said that all form emanates from the void. That emptiness/stillness is the source of all original creation. Can anyone explain the dynamics of how there is an impetus to create anything from a state of pure emptiness?

Is Eckhart Tolle referring to a different kind of emptiness? I know he often references the TTC.

Some very interesting thoughts in here. I suppose I was originally wondering about some sayings I've heard from a few people who I consider very wise. Eckhart Tolle for instance says that emptiness is the source of all original creative ideas and that through emptiness you can be moved to correct action. Also, William Mistele says that pure light emenates from the void, and I've heard that elsewhere.

I think it's great you're posting about these techniques and how they're helping you. I've used EFT and can vouch that it's very powerful stuff, but I haven't used the other methods you mention. EFT's pretty versatile so I can see how Matrix Reimprinting would work tapping on soul-fragments and implanting positive outcomes. You can use EFT in many ways, for instance I've used it to pre-program my dreams before I go to sleep by tapping in the suggestion that my dreams will help me work something out. It actually works very well

1. Yes, from 18 to 26. Lots of parties, clubs, raves etc. 2. Socialising, adventure and escapism 3. Not really

I thought I'd share a meditation I do occasionally to become one with the void. A good process I learned from William Mistele, a hermeticist, is the following: 1. Relax and close your eyes 2. Visualize standing out in nature at night with a clear star speckled sky 3. Look up at the sky and really feel how vast and far away everything is 4. Remove the earth from under your feet so you are just floating in this space 5. Remove the stars so there is nothing but empty space going on forever 6. If any thoughts arise they dissolve into the void 7. Become the void and the silence, feel the infinite vastness of it This is a also great way to dissolve negative energy if you come accross it. P.S. Here's a link to William Mistele's writing "Top Ten Kind of Voids"

Yeah William Mistele is a legend. I've been following his stuff for a few years now. Highly recommend to others.

I used to smoke weed, snort coke, do extacy and snort mephedrone and I've done mushrooms etc. and was doing energy related stuff around the same time. I completely lost it at one point hearing voices for a month and being attacked by entities day and night and had to battle my way out. I believe 98% of people would have jumped off a bridge during the worst times and it took everything I had to get out of it. The most important thing that saved me was discovering my purpose in life and surrendering myself to it completely combined with meditating on the void. I'm several years drug free now, completely physically and mentally healthy and running a successful company. You can get around this Kundalini sydnrome stuff if you have a purpose to follow. In hard cases it takes a burning desire of the heart.

Awesome man, I'll check those books out.

Interesting, I've done lots of EFT on myself. EFT is powerful, I often start gagging and feel like I'm going to throw up after an EFT session to release something. How would you say Matrix Re-imprinting is more powerful? I haven't actually heard about it before but am very interested.

The body needs yin/yang balance to be healthy. What you're wanting is an abundance of jing energy which makes you more sexually attractive to the opposite sex, charismatic, more powerful feeling, enthusiastic and able to produce more money through your endevours.
