Santa loves fly agaric shrooms. haha. http://amayodruid.blogspot.com/2010/12/fly-agaric-and-santa-clause-legend.html Check out the Siberian shamans and their flying mushroom reindeer. Ah it's awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVfQ1j3ByIQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6j43oc4DDE

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chloride this covers it as part of the lethal injection. From another site:

Meditation is just part of the war on xmas.

Just got my sister to drink Artist Conk tea to heal her cough. Then I googled artist conk cough and sure enough it's used to treat bronchitis, lung, respiratory coughs. haha. She's better already.

Interesting directions K -- thanks. I like the emphasis on "packing" qi as incorrect -- that instead there is space made for chi as more chi fills the body. Chunyi Lin says that what happens is we achieve a new level so that we no longer feel the chi energy anymore and then we have to fill up that level to start feeling the chi again. Hmmm.... so that fits with what Dumo Mitchell is describing. Yeah I had been wondering about sodium because the book "Taoist Yoga" says to be on a salt-free diet which is what I did when I was training intensively. then a few days ago I had too much salt by accident and really noticed the bad effects. then today I discovered research saying how sodium is what causes the serotonin to be taken up by the brain -- so lower sodium would mean more serotonin in the brain, then increasing DMT, etc. as Mantak Chia connects to qi energy. Anyway that serotonin sodium connection makes sense -- with potassium increasing the parasympathetic nervous system for relaxation (serotonin) from the lower body. http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0001-37652004000100008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_transporter http://chestofbooks.com/health/Isabelle-A-Moser/How-and-When-to-Be-Your-Own-Doctor/Diet-and-Nutrition-The-Real-Truth-About-Salt-And-Sugar.html Adrenal hormones decrease brain serotonin levels. http://www.ajcn.org/content/24/7/830.full.pdf O.K. so we have decreased brain serotonin increases sodium appetite significantly. Then we have serotonin uptake depends on sodium. Then we have increase salt increases adrenal hormones which decrease brain serotonin. Yep.

Yeah it's impossible that the above bad experience was caused by muscimol -- so it was either ibotenic acid -- which means the amanita was not dried properly -- or they ingested it with carbonated drink thereby converting the muscimol back into ibotenic acid -- or they misidentified the muscaria as pantheria. http://www.inchem.org/documents/pims/fungi/pimg026.htm

Well that quote is from a thread started by a person seeking help in identifying amanita shrooms. It is easy to misidentify them -- for example there is a variety of amanita in Minnesota that has no psychotropic effects. I didn't know about this variety before I ate the amanita muscaria that I found -- which obviously was not the kind with no psychtropic effects. The time loop effect mentioned in the above report is actually quite prominent from amanita muscaria - so much that I also blogged on it. http://naturalresonancerevolution.blogspot.com/2011/10/fly-agaric-loop-as-dmt-dream-state-aka.html again making the connection to DMT. Still you get a more toxic effect from the similar looking amanita pantheria and it's possible that the above report was someone who ingested the wrong kind as this quote describes: The Amanita Pantheria looks like an older Amanita Muscaria which starts out red but then yellows with age. The pantheria is never red. You probably know this but that's why the Pantheria can be confused for Muscaria. So the Pantheria has more muscarine in it than Muscaria -- and then the muscarine can produce seizures: http://www.pharmacorama.com/en/Sections/Acetylcholine_2_2.php#2

You mean Ibotenic not ibutane. haha. The quote you give is without a link but the link says it's combined cannabis with amanita and a beer beforehand.... http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=52928 I don't know what kind of synergistic effect it would have....but I agree it depends on how the person ingested it -- did they get stoned and then just eat the whole mushroom at once? Well it took me one hour to eat one mushroom that was maybe 10 grams. O.K. so finally I found the connection between adrenaline and glutamate. It turns out that if you increase your glutamate levels significantly then your body produces increased adrenaline to counteract it. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20493841 So this explains why I experienced increased adrenaline! I wasn't sure if it was from something else -- I just thought I had increased adrenaline. Turned out I was correct. Another Amanita Muscaria report stated that the increased strength deal is REAL -- it's not an illusion. So this now makes sense -- also that the Berserker Vikings would use it for battle. Wow check this out!! This may explain the above bad trip from Amanita -- he drank a beer beforehand!! http://www.mushroomgeeks.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-3282.html Totally fascinating. Wow his whole book is online -- Teeter's Amanita Muscaria: Herb of Immortality: http://www.ambrosiasociety.org/files/herbofimmortality.pdf

Yeah but I think we should be clear about the effects -- I appreciate your concern. I had to take small amounts at a time or else the nausea was too strong and I would have thrown up. I'm just trying to point out that it's not the ibotenic acid that causes the psychotropic effect in the brain. So the above Wiki statement is misleading when it quotes brain lesions -- because the low PH of the stomach hydrolyses the ibotenic acid into muscimol according to the report I just read. Ibotenic acid is about ten times weaker than muscimol so the psychotropic effects of the mushroom are actually from the muscimol not the ibotenic acid. http://www.erowid.org/plants/amanitas/amanitas_info_ott.shtml On the other hand repeated use of alcohol causes brain lesions -- and obviously alcohol is used abundantly and promoted in society -- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8452204 So I would say that the risk is similar but the amanita high is way different than alcohol. On the adrenaline thing -- it depends on the glutamate relation to adrenaline. I'll look to clarify this.

Oh o.k. now I know what you're referring to: Yeah the liver converts the Ibotenic acid. Yeah it says in this report http://www.scribd.com/doc/23118427/Amanita-Muscaria-Chemistry-Biology-Toxicology-And-Ethnomycology on Amanita Muscaria poisoning that any dehydration converts the Ibotenic acid via decarboxilation into muscimol, "would only contain the latter substance and be the agent responsible for the main symptoms." So that conversion of ibotenic acid to muscimol is by digestion or cooking or dehydration. This report also confirms increased serotonin in the brain from musicmol which is also the effect of DMT. Admittedly the report states that reported use of Amanita Muscaria MIGHT cause brain lesions and brain lesions "could be anticipated."

This is from another taobums via twitter. ha.

http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/3136.html Santa as the Siberian Shaman amanita mushroom

haha. Oh the book link is on this blogpost: http://fulllotusqigong.blogspot.com/2011/11/why-i-am-ghost-currently-and-will-stay.html

It's the stored sex energy that is turned into chi. So the sex energy is like a battery pack. The book "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" explains this in detail. You can find it on my blog http://fulllotusqigong.blogspot.com -- the full book is online. O.K. so you need a place where no one else is trying to suck off your sex energy. Converting Jing to Chi is dangerous. But then you have to store up the chi. I can take in other peoples' jing energy and then live off that. This year I went 10 days on no food -- no problem. On the 10th day I hiked through the woods, giving a lecture to my nephew and then climbed a ladder to the roof, carrying buckets of water up. So that was 10 days on no food. No problem. But I was not STORING the chi and that is the big difference. Instead I was taking in other people's lower emotional jing energy and then shooting it back at them at chi energy -- so I was healing them. haha.

When I went to the Level 3 retreat some students said that Chunyi Lin had to ingest deadly poison as part of his qigong training. I never asked him about this nor heard any more about it. But he did say he can do the 220 volts of electricity or whatever. So to do poison would seem feasible. He also said that once the town drunk challenged him to drink six bottles of wine so Chunyi Lin transferred all the alcohol to the town drunk's six bottles. Since Chunyi Lin doesn't drink alcohol -- but then the town drunk couldn't handle it all and Chunyi Lin was fine. haha. So that would imply -- since alcohol is really a poison -- also the amanita mushroom is a poison so you just have to eat it really slowly to let the liver convert the poison into the psychotropic. As for the metabolism -- Chunyi Lin says to only eat till 70% full or else the food goes to the head. This is a constant problem for me. I want to eat till I am full. But alas -- I have a permanent magnetic bliss in the center of my brain. When I eat food then it goes up my spine into my brain as an impurity. Seriously. I know that chi can be seen pulsating in the arms when its transmitted. I read that actually chi is transmitted through the tendons. This makes sense because the cartilage has the highest piezoelectric transduction of the body. Chunyi Lin also says that the qi energy can create any proteins he needs for nourishment. So -- also the heart rate will slow way down in deep meditation. Also he only needs a few hours of sleep a night and then sits in full lotus the rest of the time. then he just eats one meal a day and fasts one day a week -- starting sunday night and then eating on Tuesday again. So then he did seven weeks with no food, no water and no sleep. So obviously the metabolism is strongly affected. The big issue for me it getting others to understand this. Look I can't eat normal food and I have to meditate all the time. haha. People just don't take that seriously. No really -- eat this food. O.K. but I will smell because it's too impure. That explanation just doesn't go over well. Yeah the spiritual and the mundane do not really mix. But once the physiology is permanently changed there is no going back. Then people learn through experience after going through denial, etc.

Well I brewed up a big batch of Artist Conk mushroom - it's the U.S. version of Reishi mushroom. Anti-cancer, anti-inflammation. Is it also the mushroom of immortality like the Reishi? haha. They're closely related -- same genus. My niece always claims I'm cooking wood. The Artist Conk has to be made into tea -- it's almost impossible to cut up though. haha. Birch Polyphore is similar to the Artist Conk but has a fuzzy underside and grows on birches, duh. Both are "shelf" shrooms. The Reishi is also a "shelf" shroom.

I'm gonna read his columns. Thanks. http://medhajournal.com/sections/medha-junior-mainmenu-174/112-gangps-column.html Hey Dwai - that reminds me -- have you read Jeffrey Kripal? I mean Geez. yuck. Oh well back to the good stuff. haha.

Sweet.

Wow -- so Lao Tzu touched Chunyi Lin's head. When you say Jesus -- do you mean you saw Jesus and then light shone upon you? Chunyi Lin said he was looking at the image of Jesus in the church and then the energy was transmitted from the icon -- a painting or maybe stain glass, etc. Yeah I know in the show I Survived...Beyond and Back -- about near-death experiences -- a lot of people see Jesus when they die or even see Moses -- one dude said "I AM" touched his shoulder and Moses told him not to look at "I Am" since you can't look at God directly. I'm not saying none of this is true but I think that even physical reality is a hologram as much as visions are. So after I sent Chunyi Lin the Christ Conspiracy book he then admitted in class that everything really is emptiness as energy. haha. I mean everything is real but it's also really love energy at heart. So it can be said in the opposite sense about the most evil real thing on the planet. The Bliss-Consciousness-Energy is the three-in-one harmonic truth of reality that is a rainbow vortex of love creating and destroying the physical blockages. So anyway maybe you want to share more about your experience of seeing Jesus. I read an academic book on the Tao Te Ching which stated Lao Tzu was not a real person and the evidence was very convincing. But Chunyi Lin says Lao Tzu touched his head when he was meditating. I've read similar evidence about Jesus. But then I am just as much as an illusion as anyone else -- when I am in deep sleep I don't know that I exist nor anyone else exists. Logically I know that I exist even in deep sleep and that I experience the greatest bliss in deep sleep. So I can infer that who I really am is not my physical body nor my mind but rather that which creates the bliss of deep sleep. Or similarly that which creates the light of dreams. That's why Ramana Maharshi says reincarnation is not real. I mean if our past lives and future lives are not real then what about our present lives. haha.

Yeah full lotus should be his "delusion of choice." haha. That's hilarious.

Wow Chunyi Lin goes to church every sunday and he said how when he was in church and looked up at the image of Jesus suddenly this bright light shot done and shown on him and then it moved to the lady next to him. He said that no one else in the church could notice it because most Christians really aren't spiritual. haha. I actually mailed Chunyi Lin a copy of the Christ Conspiracy by Acharya S. http://truthbeknown.com I mean I was raised Christian and I was very religious but I am most gnostic meaning that I think Buddhism and Christianity are Solar myth religions. Even the historical Lao Tzu is hard to believe for me -- but Chunyi Lin said he was visited by Lao Tzu personally during one of Chunyi Lin's deep mountain meditations.

Welcome to the world of interactive energy! Congratulations your meditation has reached a higher level! haha. Seriously when we meditate then our energy actually causes an exorcism of the lower emotional blockages of people around us. When I sit in full lotus I then suck in that extra lower emotional energy and transform it back into chi energy. At least meditation is legal. I mean one reason I stopped taking the qigong classes so much besides the cost is that I didn't want my family to think I was in a cult. So then my mom told me a few months ago that I needed to get over the meditation thing. My brother-in-law said: You're still practicing that? After I mentioned the Chinese energy master. I said: Actually it practices me. haha. I took the classes intensively ten years ago and they're still waiting for me to get over it. haha. So now I've been sitting for two hours in full lotus non-stop but sometimes the energy will cause my mom to come to my door. She just wants the extra energy. Luckily I have a lock on my door. haha. So then I talk with her for a bit so she can get some of my energy. Then she feels better. Yeah I've relied on the full lotus as defense -- if someone gets really angry I just go into the full lotus. I mean body posture is the last thing a person has that is their personal freedom. Still if you get put in "indefinite detention" by homeland security then they don't allow any body postures that are considered martial arts. It's true!! It's like the Chinese against monks, etc. only in the U.S. O.K. so anyway that's the evil materialist modern human civilization that is destroying the ecology and social harmony of the planet. haha. It's like the Matrix dudes coming after you. Actually you can learn to sense the energy -- when I meditate usually the thoughts that come in my head are precognitive and then ten minutes later my mom or sister will repeat the same words at me. haha. The thing about full lotus is it can't be faked -- so it can't be blamed on some sort of psychological projection, etc. Most people can't go into full lotus. So then I'll sit in full lotus and people can't attack it because they can't do it. They can't claim it's some sort of mind problem because most people can't sit in full lotus. haha.
