Spooky ghost discussion - experiences, theories and reasons
moment replied to Miroku's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I have had a fair amount of experience with the first. Only a couple of times with the second. -
Science Fiction and Fantasy you love and hate from all times and all parts of the world

Damn you people! Now, much of my free time, is going to be eaten up by new, great sounding sci-fi/fantasy books. Not to mention, my ebay bill is going to go up! -
Your question concerns newbies. What is your definition of a newbie? If we are talking just a few weeks, then I would think it is very rare, not unknown but, definitely less than 1%. If we are talking about people who are getting into more advanced stuff and especially if they, are starting to experiment in new areas, I think blockages are fairly common ( especially in the head). A very good reason to have advanced, traditionally based teachers, readily available for advice.

I generally agree with you on most things but, in the case of @CataclysmicSky here, I advise against consciously triggering the movements, with spontaneous shaking, at least at this point and time.

An advocate for free health care, Dr. Murat Dilmener sometimes bent hospital rules in Istanbul to ensure those without health insurance got the treatment they needed. The professor and infectious diseases specialist frequently saw poor Turks for free at his private clinic. His charitable acts and compassion would inspire Turkish newspapers to dub him the “Robin Hood of the medical profession.” He died of COVID-19 at age 78, devastating former students on the medical team that couldn't save his life.

I agree with @RiverSnake , also: Okay, when energy is stuck in your head, 95+% of the time, you are doing too much energy work, too early (pathways have not been toned and tuned enough to take that load) and invariably, you are not doing enough diversity in your daily grounding. I would recommend that you cut way down all energy work (except for some very slow stretching, think about how a cat would stretch if he/she's goal was to stretch every single muscle in the body.) Then do that very slowly and very gently and get into the pure pleasure, in the feeling of it ( and I mean from the tips of your toes to the top of your head and then back down again to the toes).This is a balanced energy/grounding/meditation activity that if done cosistently 6-7 days a week, for at least 15 minutes a day will help alot in getting to feel better. DRINK lots of water, but not too much ( whenever you are thirsty + a couple of extra glasses of water for good health). Do activities that fill yourself with joy! Walk around barefoot when it is convenient. Get your hands deep into some black rich loose soil, plant something in it. Pet an animal you love; recognize its' qualities that you admire. Have less opinions about most things, check and watch your irritations, then trace them back to their root. Remember, the only thing that is under your power is how you act and react to anything. Make sure that you are in the driver's seat. As you start to feel better, add your various trainings back a little bit at a time, Be very aware, about how you feel right before and for a few days after each, indivual, small addition and act accordingly.

Since this is supposed to be a laugh thread and my last one was a downer:

Louisiana evangelical pastor Tony Spell--- who bused in more than 1,800 followers for a hands-on mass two weeks ago, then gave an encore performance to an audience half that size Sunday. Those followers were then turned loose upon the streets of Louisiana, where COVID-19 has been particularly aggressive. "I’m going to address that by laying hands on them and praying for them and depending on God to heal their body,” Spell explained during one of his sermons. More than 3,500 Lousianians have tested positive for coronavirus, where over151 have died.

One of the big stars of the 2020 COVIDIOT scene took a while to see his star rise, but police in Aurora, Ill., with the help of the public, made 19-year-old Tyler Wallace a celebrity. Video emerged last month of a man walking through a Walmart and spraying Lysol on everything in sight while wearing a sign on his back that read “Caution I have the coronavirus.” That man was soon after identified as Wallace, according to the Chicago Tribune. Cops estimate he did $10,000 worth of damage — in a Walmart!

Influencer Ava Louise, who has more than 175,000 Instagram followers, got famous during the pandemic because she likes to potty. The 22-year-old posted video on TikTok where she’s licking an airplane toilet seat and inviting people to join the “Coronavirus Challenge.” During a visit to the Dr. Phil show, Louise claimed that her stunt wasn’t dangerous because she was in a private plane and had bleached the seat. The toilet-licking attention seeker also reasoned that the stunt occurred en route to Miami where “I had way dirtier things in my mouth that whole spring break.’”

Rush Limbaugh told followers that COVID-19 is so common that it got its name from being the 19th COVID virus. That is false. But as horror writer Stephen King tweeted: “Sage advice from a lifelong cigar smoker who has lung cancer.” Stephen King @StephenKing Rush Limbaugh says coronavirus no worse than the common cold. Sage advice from a lifelong cigar smoker who has lung cancer. 9:27 AM · Mar 13, 2020

Bruce Lee had mad skills ! But, his Yang was, going seriously, out of balance toward the end. When he died, he was taking a variety of pain killers and muscle relaxants because of pushing too hard (tremendous over-training).

Cyd Charisse had childhood polio and was told that she would never walk again. But, her dream was to become a dancer. She did self-therapy, with an indomitable will and became one of the greatest dancers, in the world and those legs!

Yes, they threw in some extra loops to make it sync up, it was fun!

Ray Bradbury tended toward Buddhism, Though it ended up mostly a patchwork of many religions and philosophies. "I sit there and cry because I haven’t done any of this. It’s a God-given thing, and I’m so grateful, so, so grateful. The best description of my career as a writer is, ‘At play in the fields of the Lord". ---- Ray Bradbury

The great Akio Minakami-- Traditionalist, zen priest, three times world and all-Japan kata champion Currently 9th dan. Teaches personally in North Seattle. He is proud of the fact, that he has never struck another human outside of competition. We once did a slow-motion video (about 42 years ago) of him walking up to a 4" X 4" post stuck in the ground (about six feet of it was above ground) and striking it at about shoulder level; The splinters exploding out the other side, looked like the post had been hit by a shotgun blast at very close range. If you live near Seattle and want traditional karate instruction, equal to anywhere in the world, his school is the place to go. I believe he is 72 years old in this video.

When are locked threads necessary and when are they an abuse of power?
moment replied to moment's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Once more, I get to say in the same day-- There is nothing you have said that I disagree with! But, TDB has a history of abusing "staff discretion" and even though I personally like @thelerner , I feel the need to make people a little more aware and concerned about locking threads. -

"Judicious use of the closing function is of utmost importance in my opinion, as important as considerations for suspension and banning."---- exactly!
