I'm the guy in the carnival who tells you what the joke is when all the clowns, fat men, and bearded ladies are laughing and you're lost in that fun house of life, and when you still don't get it, I say it anyway because all the lions, tigers, and bears or the sword-swallowers and knife jugglers are all too much for you to handle and pay attention to where the real gems are and how you can be a star. That's who I am, son, don't forget.

That member was likely being sarcastic, and while you may believe you are serious, so far, many of our attempts to explain what is needed of a serious practitioner and what kind of teacher would be able to impart these techniques have been ignored by you. Serious questions are unanswered or given a justification. Explaining how things work in the world of energetics seems to be a pick and choose affair. There are indeed free techniques, but to ask for secret teachings those of us have paid for like from Loneman Pai is not just rude and disrespectful, but wrong and has energetic consequences for stealing that which does not belong to you. Avoiding the ego deflation and character development is an easy way to find yourself in deep shit. Read Thomas Ashley-Farrand's "Healing Mantras" or "Shakti Mantras" and "Chakra Mantras", which give mantras for free that impart power after 125,000 or more repetitions as well as the science behind it and how we reincarnate with those siddhis in any life we commit that practice. He talks of the same story about Shiva Bali Yoga, a guy who could leave his body and manifest material objects, but had zero character and that guy was punished by nature when he left his body trying to show off to the group how he was more powerful than anyone else and then a flood occurred and killed him while he was away from his body, but funny enough, in full lotus. Avoiding any sort of service or financial exchange for the high level techniques is theft and you demand a gift which in turn translates to others have to steal for you and that still reflects back on you. We all have tried to explain in many threads, but are you really interested in learning? You have been trained by the universe here with those of us who are responding as the Tao: those who are serious, those who respect it, and those who laugh at it. Which of those three are you? I was once just like you and when you said in another thread that if I "were in your shoes that I would understand" you ignored that comment and went to other threads. Others have given you free teachings like Inner Smile. Why don't you start a personal practice journal here and actually begin one of the many things you've been given and stick with it for a while? Why don't you actually reflect on the lessons you are learning (if you are indeed learning and recognize you could be if you are open enough to know we're all trying to help you and have fun with it too) in that PPJ? I don't expect a response from you or to be taken seriously. I was a know-it-all kid who thought I was tough when I was your age. Didn't get me far. I have faith you will eventually grow out of this and find a good teacher and system, and until then, I and the rest of us here have fun with you as your uncles and aunts who know you won't listen to a damn thing we say, son. But me, I'll be that older brother who tells it to you straight and laughs at you when you burn your hands on the stove after auntie Em told ya not to touch it because it's hot. I'll warn you that if you try to reach for the top shelf where all my skin mags are, I'll know because you'll find a box with a note inside that says, "SUCKER!" since you'll NEVER find my skin mags (or, hidden teachings) unless I want to share them, and I only share them if you ask nicely and do what your aunties and uncles here ask you to do, and be nice to yo' mama and yo' daddy. Here's a free hint since you're a teen: go read Grant Morrison's The Invisibles graphic novel series. It was written using Chaos Magick. Go read Alan Moore's Promethea. It's a history of magic in comic book format and myth. Buy them--don't download them for free. Those books are cursed and will burn you if you try to steal from these high level magicians.

It also depends on where you are because my teacher said the basics can be taught online, but the advanced stuff is in person, as we can't even do circle walking unless he is there. He is in Sydney, Australia if you want a contact.

Here is a thread where GMDW has stated he has nothing to do with Ausar. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/47382-ausar-a-fraud/

I only brought FP here because you’ve mentioned FP was a low level practice several times in another thread and because as a student of Sifu Terry this is not what we want proliferated. You can continue to promote that idea elsewhere because no one is stopping you, but it had to be said once and no further on this thread so that you know it is not appreciated. This thread and your link will be shared on the FP thread for our benefit and how they respond is on them. My comment was only as we say a “courtesy call” and your defensiveness raises some questions that others may have desire to pursue as I’ve already done my duty. Cheers and many thanks for the link you have posted.

Ausar has already been proven a fraud, but "higher level meds" is something Sifu Terry Dunn has already stated many times that anyone who says FP is "low level" and different systems of GMDW are "higher" level does not understand or have the depth within the system. This would be a good video to post in the FP thread and also to understand that the false dichotomy (and wrong information) about FP being "low level" is not an idea Sifu Terry appreciates proliferating.

Funny enough I was going to tell him to chant this mantra and another to help him shift his vibration to be worthy of what he seeks if he is willing to do at least 125,000 repetitions.

You seem to be under 18 years of age to have so much time to post the silliness you do and still lack the sense to understand that you're going nowhere with this search the more you disregard the warnings and advice of others here, as well as refuse to offer anything in return for the hard work and effort put into attempting to educate you or offer you anything of value. Drop this search. None of what you find on the Internet will help out without the right community and teacher. The best things are free, like the sun, moon, stars, wind, ocean, forest, and mountains. The best things are also not free, like secret yogic doctrines or alchemical secrets. There is a price to pay, and if you are unwilling to pay but insist on taking them, the Tao will extract it from you, and you will be forced to witness it without even knowing why you are stuck on the vibration you are on. Commune with God and Source instead. Anything else beyond that like controlling weather and minds is as much a distraction as going into a pub or brothel.

Guess what? I was in your shoes eight years ago. I owed $60k and my father died and I was homeless on the streets. I am now earning from my techniques and I am only a middling adept, who has enough to eat, to shelter himself, to buy a Nintendo Switch, to travel, and to take care of two dogs, and to give other people money if they ask for help. When I was homeless and abandoned, I had no family and friends had all turned their backs on me. But I wanted to be better and I wanted to believe. And the Way opened up for me. And I got more in return for what I offered and what was asked of me. Don't give me those excuses that you don't have it. In truth, you don't believe you have anything to offer and yet bizarrely you believe you are entitled to what it is you look for, and have a very toxic thought form parasite you are suffering under. The choice is yours to continue on this path, and I am obliged only to offer you once. You can go where you want to, and as you are but a child, likely under the age of 18, I have no worries because your Will is not yours unless you decide you want Will. All you do now is Ego. Ego-Fear. Ego-Desire. I was there. And I have empathy. But I also have no intention of feeding the Ego or enabling you along the path. You want power? Good luck. The ones who seek it are consumed by it. You want to know? Then be humble, ask, and make sacrifices. You have given excuses, and that is your choice. There are no easy paths and no sugarcoated answers. Drop this or don't. You decide.

I can't actually talk as much here about a lot of them, but I've hinted at a few applications in my PPJ. We have a few that are hard to measure because they are quite esoteric and even more difficult to describe. What I can say in general is I've witnessed one of our techniques used to heal people, and after a half hour, one person threw away their crutches, and I also used it recently when in a scuffle and the individual was imbalanced to bring them down to earth and away from their anger outburst. Most of our stuff is for healing and for "transformation" which I put in quotes because it can be all sorts, from personal to mental to physical transformation depending on the level of achievement. I am still a low-level adept who was fortunate enough to learn some serious techniques and make no pretense of being a master or advanced, though I do have authorization to teach a little. Other uses I have employed were for exorcisms (yes, I'm serious) and for manipulating probabilities (luck making). In general we focus on healing though and some martial, but due to my own personal work, my Sifus want me to do more healing techniques first and discovered each one had a martial application too. Outside of my lineage, I've encountered a Wing Chun teacher in Thailand who moved to Canada who can use electrical qi to shock people (but I am unable to provide his name or province due to his extreme disdain for visitors who aren't students), a couple of Filipino and Indonesian shamans who did things like make people walk backwards involuntarily, and there was the doctor in Singapore I've mentioned a few times who heals using electrical qi.

Zork-- good name. I played that game on my computer years ago, great series.

Yes, tendon strength is actually underrated so you will indeed be a worthy challenge. I won’t lie: you’d win in arm wrestling for sure, but for touch hands we can field test it. If you learned from a teacher there in Germany then I may know of the woman you speak of as some friends of mine trained with her or her students about 13 years ago, though I don’t know her name. The structure of WC is different from the touch hands I learned, and certainly a welcome challenge too. Oh, go to readcomicbooksonline(dot)org or readcomiconline(dot)to and check out Doomsday Clock issue #6 if you’re a fan of The Comedian. You’ll really enjoy his appearance there and what he does in the DC universe, and when his first encounter with the Joker takes place...

Awesome, looking forward, my friend. It's always good to have a skeptic as a friend to challenge us as well in our journey. Just make sure you let me know if you've changed your name or I'll just post in my PPJ that I'm headed there and you can remind me of our agreement here. Ha, this sounds like 1991 as a World Warrior the more we chat. Tell you what: I'm headed to Japan on Sunday, and if you want any Street Fighter memorabilia or any of the sort of your interest, let me know and I'll procure it for you and give it to you upon meeting you.

I actually am happy to meet other Bums and have met a few offline already, so I'll just send you a PM when I drop by, which could be next year. I'll be in Northern Saxony and probably Hamburg and Berlin visiting both a couple Bums and friends from before. Let me know where is most convenient and we can have a go, and if you fancy a round of drinks (alcoholic or not), I insist that you allow me the honor of buying the first round or treating you out to whatever restaurant you fancy, regardless of outcome. And yes: I am sincere in this. We can even talk about a couple subjects you and I have had a lot of enjoyment on, such as old time strongman training and the video game and anime and paranormal subjects.

I suppose I can see some condescending attitude there, but I have enough skill and confidence in what I do and what my peers have learned and are capable of, so I won't hold much thought when someone casts doubt, as the easiest way to dispel any doubt is to touch hands as opposed to arguing with words online. If we're talking about strength training, it depends. You can see in Shaolin and Wudang schools both doing external training with their physical exercises and chores, and internal training with their Zhan Zhuang and seated meditations.

I had the exact same dilemma to decide upon myself in the beginning. Let me save you time on figuring out the answer between those two choices: The answer is “Yes”!

I generally find I have more patience with people online and people look more than they see when reading: by looking, they have something they are searching for to reinforce the reality tunnel, by seeing, they have a wide and embracing range of possibilities. As an anachronism in time and an expatriate, the nebulousness of cultures and norms is all just jazz to me. Somehow, in the expat communities and circles I've come across, there's more wiggle room for misunderstandings, which is odd because the Internet seems to be a demagoguery of cacophony edging us towards a shame-based consensus as opposed to inclusivity. Internet culture appears to have its own views because people often assume and project more than ask and understand, or call out and shame as opposed to wanting others to be better. A battle for relevance: this is what life on the Internet has become instead of a network that allows connections that would otherwise never have been made due to time(zones) and (geographic) space.

The North American Internet definition of that term must have changed, because "knock yourself out" to me just means "have fun, go entertain yourself with whatever it is you fancy" as opposed to what it means to you, and is a term I've heard interchangeably between the sexes as recently as last week by American women and a Luxembourgish woman, or German men, who were not an older generation, but Millennials and Gen-Xers. Addressing Rene as "lady" was intended by me a means of respect (which I do have regardless of what you may think) for the person I was interacting with rather than saying "woman". The toenail remark is what I would have said to anyone, given I've seen too many males doing this whether at the airport or train station and can't understand why people seem to think it's acceptable in public and if we're going to hold them in much higher regard. This is my context and I take ownership for it. I do not take ownership for what I am accused of because those weren't my intent, but do offer apologies to those who are offended.

You must have a different definition of misogyny and threshold than I do. And no, I owe you no explanation because none of that "incredibly misogynistic bs" was present or intended in anything I said. Let it go, or don't. I did! Have a nice day! EDIT: for your consideration, I shall leave you with one of my most favorite references in a site I regularly frequent, which may surprise you: https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/09/social-justice-less-elitist/ Calling people out (e.g. your words of demanding I explain "incredibly misogynistic bs") is a great way to not get what you want whether it's change or dialogue. Calling people in is the way to go if you really want dialogue.

Nope, breathe normally. Sifu Terry often says it takes 20 breaths to move from side to side each side for Wind Above the Clouds for one. For BtB just breathe normally and go slowly, as slow as a shifting sand dune. Have fun!
