  1. Kunlun Level 1

    Hi Turbo, "kinda freaked out about practicing it" I was too, very supprised that it actually did something. But I went the other way with only doing 10min and slowly building up over time. I was basically stoping and doing the closing form as soon as things started to happen. Now I'm not getting much / any movements in a 40 min session. Not sure why. I have not done that much practice, only started in October and I've stoped practicing everyday at the moment. Feels right to me and I'm concentrating on Kung Fu for a grading this weekend. Also I must admit that I do not "like" the posture as much with my right hand up, a bit painfull for my sholder. Usually it's not a problem as the movement starts to happen and th epain goes away, but the last few times it was more like a 40min static posture. It's all good
  2. Hi Xeno, Also tried to find out if anyone had any success with Chia's Cultivating Female Sexual Energy or had any other pointers for females a few months ago. There does not seem to be any info out there.
  3. Cool, he does not speak much about the school stuff (I don't even know what he was doing) but it's good to hear he was able to finish it with all this "stuff" happening.
  4. Me too (With Deanne, not Mrs Yoda !!!) Although I think it will be a while before I can feel blisfull without the starting posture. And I wasn't sure if it was something that you could only do after level 3. But definitly something I am looking forward to trying though. Cheers for all the reports everyone, bring on Australia p.s. is Cam doing o.k.? Good to see his posting sabitical working for the first time ever
  5. Celestial Cops; the Ba Jia Jing

    Hi Brian, Cheers, I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. I often enjoy the Kung Fu and Tai Chi magazine. Is the meth use for spiritual reasons
  6. Ejaculation control

    Mmmm Agree with everything except for. Supprised that you would say that, espicially with you good retention habbits. Sure it doens't feel the same, but I have something that I would call an orgasm without ejaculation. I will have to give your post some thought. As to the orginal post, check out Trunks site (excellent) and espicially the info from Dr Lyn. I like his method, some fun things in there for both of you
  7. meditation and its side effects

    Yes, I think meditation does make you more loving. I understand what you mean by "gay" thoughts. I do feel much more love towards my friends male and female. It can make you uncomfortable when you just want to reach out and hug someone. Men don't hug men in my culture Don't worry, perhaps think on the differences between "love" and "sex" As to bisexual. Perhaps. But I don't know why anyone would want to have sex with a man, we look silly naked. I'm always grateful that the girls just don't fall down laughing
  8. the elixir in a bottle?

    The Amanita Muscaria or mushrooms in general? Psilocybe cubensis the "Golden Teacher" calls to me as something to try one day.
  9. Kunlun Level 1

    Interestingly the leg trembling has slowed down / not happening as often, since Sunday. I never really felt "heaps" or bliss or movements especially since after my first few attempts I went down to 10 min active and built up from there. Changes in the last week? 1. Daily meditation and in the morning now and in different places, depends on when I wake up as I need to pick a place out of the sun. So angle of upper legs, foot position is changing. 2. Active practice has increased to 40min, just seemed like the thing to do. Closing is still 25 min. 3. 100 day restart Perhaps a transmission is needed to push things along. Unexpected, yes. A problem? don't know. The closing down is feeling especially peacefully. The quality of Bliss is less, shall we say orgasmic, that it was when I started. It's more like the happiness you feel when a student finally "gets" a technique you have been trying to teach them. It's all good.
  10. I keep thinking of a novel that said "No more coincidences for you" as I've been thinking about standing meditation a lot recently too Anyhow it's one of the things I don't do (time required). I've got seated meditation, Tai Chi fills the moving meditation part, Kung Fu is taking the exercise part. Standing meditation is missing, should I try to put it in? Been thinking about Yoga, but the ones I like are all moving postures Have done 3 circle standing before, it's hard work. Sort of interested in taking some Tai Chi postures and doing them static. But don't really know what I want / need. Must admit I lean towards "it's overrated" Basically only been thinking of it again because if I go to the Kunlun seminar there will be standing meditation and I had better start practicing if I don't want to be a trembling pile of sweat!
  11. Kunlun Seminars

    Yes, the chance to discus a book with it's author is very very helpful. Had long email conversations with Donald M Kraig when I was working through his book "Modern Magick" in the 90's. That Chris would take the time to talk to and help people work through the book is INVALUABLE. Actually I've been re-reading the book a fair bit (bible style ) and it is very well done. Personally I only got put off by the empty force martial arts stuff. But that's an issue I always have with that sort of thing.
  12. Fast-5

    Cheers, This does seem to be my body type, I know of the Warrior diet and it appeals to me too. Perhaps this is why eating a big breakfasts and lunch has never been my thing. This eating pattern is very natural to me, although the "fasting" part feels a bit hard core I really like the nighttime cut off as I'm a late night person and can quite easily binge out on 2 or 3 250g blocks of chocolate between 11pm and 3am that I didn't really notice myself eat or really want For Losing weight? Perhaps. It is a clever way to restrict calories, but I think it would be more likely to slow metabolism and encourage the body to store fat. The body does not like ot be hungry. The actually "fasting" part is what interesting to me. And yes it is also because it look like a monks eating program that has the meal at the right time of the day But I wonder if the hunger pangs / slight headaches are worth it (or how long till they go away) Also for me I train after work, might not be the best idea if I have not had any food for 19 hrs to then go and exercise for another 2. (Eating normally throughout the day if I forget to have a snack before training I sometimes feel weak and get the shakes) I think it might be better to graze on fruit and nuts, not sure if a 19 hour fast is of enough benefit to outweigh the symptoms. Is fasting for less than one day even fasting?
  13. Kunlun Seminars

    Cheers Freeform no apology necessary. Your observation is scary in how accurate it is, thanks for noticing me. Long ago yeas before I started any of this I was scared, afraid and hated people. I still ignore my feelings and let things slide rather than confront people 99% of the time. I will investigate this more, short reply. Going to meditate
  14. How many Aussie Bums?

    Can't comment on the health aspect, except to say it seem as good as the Tai Chi that I do personally, hopefully that is good for my health The martial arts part works. I have trained with one of his students here in Townsville (Well Ian Garbett's student, tied up with Erle's system) I know a few others too and they all fight very well. I also love the way Erle explains stuff. 2 people with a bit of martial arts experience could practice and learn from his videos
  15. Buddha speaks!

    `The world is such a wide world, why do you answer a bell and don ceremonial robes?' "To get my Tea" I propose a rule change because I have no faith in my own answers and a bit embarrassed When I read other answers they just "seem right" When I try to think through my answers, it's not right. So I'm going with my immediate response to the question. And I like this one, even though I want to change it to "to get my Food" I'm still pretty happy. But others will have a better answer and I like to read them. Perhaps we should all have a go and try a new one only once the response die away ?? Also "You're screwed and about to die. The asker isn't you and they're not making a flippant remark like 'have a nice trip'. They're a master trying to give you a last chance to settle your mind and see truth" I love that analysis, I always had trouble with the hanging from you teeth type of question because I can't get past the answer of "Grab hold of the tree" re-framing in that way Freedom is a beautiful answer.
  16. still wandering the catacombs

    Nicely put. I always enjoyed a bit of Chaos Shame to see you go. Don't worry, be happy and have a good journey.
  17. water fasting

    Anyone tried that diet? Eat what you for 5 hrs a day I'm almost like that naturally, it's 2pm and I'm still not hungry (pigged out last night) Very strange as this morning I was thinking that I should only eat a healthy meal at night and just have fruit and nuts during the day when I get hungry. This would be easier as I could eat all sorts of crap
  18. Kunlun Level 1

    Trying to understand from books if always hard, like I said I was preferring left hand up in the active, could explain why movements were more active sometimes Personally sometimes I think "I am making myself move" when in the active posture. I try to let it go, but if my thoughts still say "fake" I go back to that posture, often with left on top (I will fix that now and go back to the right on top) I just stay still till the shaking feeling in my legs takes me away again. This morning I went up to 25 active 25 close, did not move that much at all, felt nice Yes, the book tell you to "let go" too and not attach to results. The problem with talking about kunlun is that the "letting go" is the important part of the method. IMO Talk about results or experiences moves the focus away from where it should be, none of that is important. Said the man who has practiced not even everyday for only a month from a book. I sound like a beginning kung fu student who thinks he knows everything
  19. Kunlun Seminars

    Wow, I have been here for a year and I have never seen everybody bicker Porn star Ron was before my time unfortunately. Does this happen often? Small group dynamics make me laugh after learning about it in social psychology. Actually all social interaction makes me laugh it's like a puppet show. All I suggest is if you don't agree with people attack the words, not the people. Anyhow I’ve noticed that I am quick to anger recently, little explosions over misunderstandings and misremembered past. Snapped off a few posts (managed to edit this one before I sent it, but I’m still a water drinking office worker Caused by changes in my practices, I think so. Problem with the method, no. It’s not bad anger, I am aware of the change. Like most of us I constantly monitor myself, looking for changes in my personality thoughts or actions, it’s so hard to act normal all the time hahaha I get something great out of this thread Super Snip of Trunk :- This is worth talking about,everyone likes the method, people on the inside have a fun time. Two of the issues that needlessly make your school a target are: 1. too much sensationalism, and 2. dealing with scholars. With some minor adjustments these problems would just disappear. And because I’m only good enough to resist for so long, I am still a bad person and do not deserve any sort of power. The only reason I am doing Kunlun is because the meditation lets me sit on my arse for 50min and be happy and still. Don't care how it works, all explanation is labeling anyway. Peace everyone. Be easy and you are right
  20. Music and the Tao

    So this is Christmas. Lennon All I want for christmas is you. Mariah Carey Both make me cry...... in a good way.
  21. Buddha speaks!

    Must admit I was expecting a slap and being sent away to meditate ....... Shuzan held out his short staff and said, "If you call this a short staff, you oppose its reality. If you do not call it a short staff, you ignore the fact. Now what do you wish to call this?"
