Those entities mainly see you as food. Just like when you walk into a forest, everything alive will turn against you, from mosquitoes to bears. The creatures would feed on your desires and weaknesses, mainly fear, lust, and attachment. There's a process of growing a "thicker skin" so that you won't be affected as much. If such a practice leaves you feeling like you have been under a bus, you shouldn't do it.

And you think I'm going to share a lot of explanation texts just to disprove you? Think what you wish. Your emotional and passionate response is a trait of a young person with high hopes and motivation yet very little experience. When someone says something you disagree with, it crushes your worldview if you do. That goes back to your attitude before us criticizing anyone. Someone created the thread about us, and I felt like I had to respond.

Right. Generations of plumbers, electricians, and carpenters work together to bring about a whole house. I don't see where the conflict is. I also don't see why it's wrong to study different traditions and have multiple teachers. We sure do. We don't mix up exercises together as you might think. We use Daoist practices for their original purpose. We don't want to explain it personally to you and freeform. Yes, we are in that position. Just because you like those individuals and possibly learn from them doesn't mean we offer lies about them. Only our honest opinion.

Whose records? I would like to see how you can survive only on fruit. Have you ever done it? Have you done a juice fast for 2-3 weeks straight?

Various traditions are precisely the bits and pieces.

The astral body is way more subtle than an ethereal body; therefore, you may not even feel it. You can tell the difference by experiences from the world you are going to; the astral world is totally different, as it's another dimension. Most people's experiences are with near-physical world OBEs with low energy. The astral world is vastly different in terms of surrounding energy, and the impact it has on your psyche.

Breatharians have some plausible deniability because it's difficult to monitor a person all the time. But sometimes they do catch them eating food...

Was this exercise given to you by your teacher? What were you trying to accomplish? Order of practice always matters. If your channels are not trained, working with chi on one part of the body can do great harm. You may have put a permanent strain on your muscles that will be hard to get rid of. Visualizing reverse action may do very little help, I wouldn't put my hopes on it. Follow Gerard's advice, and check back in a few months.

I get his idea to sedate the body, lower blood pressure and heart rate to settle down. But in my experience the tranquility comes naturally anyway if you focus on the mental side of meditation. Some need 5 minutes to settle down, and some need 15, depending on your state, before entering practice.

If you cared to ask questions instead of exploding your lower backside uncontrollably, I might have just answered them. In the actual Magic community, there are no do-gooders, altruists, or outward expressing people where their whole biography is on display. I simply give an opportunity where both sides have to gain, and it's never free. Keep your precious pennies close

It's a straightforward way to gain qi within your body. Why would one care developing it when working with Magic? I use it as fuel for nervous system and it help with Third Eye practices, which are very draining. Ideally, the dantien should be active enough to cause microcosmic orbit to move.

Looks like a resume and a cover letter all in one. Could you explain the gap between 22 and 28? Jk When I was about 6-7 years old, I read a theological book, specifically the part about Greek mythology, and it sounded nice and good. I almost started believing in Zeus as the main God. Then I learned about a new God of Christianity with its bitterness and the suffering that comes with it. Liked the old testament better than the new one. It almost got me depressed.

Since this is already a topic regarding Ancient Masters, I will take the liberty and announce our foundation program of school here instead of creating a separate thread. The foundation includes the Challenger practice. Ancient Masters - Foundation in Magic also known as Foundation In Ancient Arts We offer teaching and guidance on a complex spiritual Path of Magic that is underrepresented online and poorly known to the public. The path leads to inner transformation and spiritual development, unlike chasing one's desires and selfish goals, which leads nowhere. Foundation Training is what is needed to practice Magic safely and effectively. Unfortunately, many jump into Magic practices for selfish purposes without proper foundation and develop mental illnesses and deviations. If you want to seek Truth in life, explore the world beyond the physical realm, learn more about yourself on a deep level and explore other worlds, if you are interested in the Path of Magus, or if you seek genuine training and self-development in a school environment, and become a part of a cultivator group. Teachers: Neirong and Aeordimm both have 15+ years of experience in Art and practical abilities. The program results from our research and study in Ancient Arts and Magic. We will observe, guide, and correct you through the study program. Duration: The Foundation program spans roughly five years of consistent training (daily preferred), divided into ten semesters. Scope of Training: 16 core modules. The foundation training includes training in meditation, third eye, neigong, other worlds, energy bodies, arcane Magic, and practical Magic. For a complete list of modules, you can refer to our website. We give everything necessary to jump-start cultivation without waiting ten years for a student to prove to us that he is worthy of being initiated. Although it is named Foundation Training, the program is challenging and has depth. Approach to teaching and training: We are there to ensure students are making meaningful progress and not walking into any possible pitfalls of cultivation. We strive to keep things real and without pseudo esoteric nonsense. Foundation is built in a step-by-step approach to maximizing students' chances of making it. Active members will integrate into Magic Egregore of our School, which will assist and help to progress and provide a degree of passive magic protection. We give access to all the 6-months training (2 modules per semester) theory and practical content at once (without waiting and clicking buttons). So you can progress through training and exercises at an individual pace. The progression to next semester depends on your daily work, activity, and written reports that we do check. That is not a pay, listen, and get achievement system. The next semester will only unlock if you are making progress with the previous. Thus the program duration might be extended for your pace of progression. Requirements: Physical and Mental stability. Compatibility with other traditions. Our system is compatible with many other genuine practices, but not all of them. You may have to be prepared to unlearn and empty things you have learned if they will be in direct conflict with our teaching. Level of Commitment Our students can start progressing with as little as 30-60m+ focused daily practice. We employ the methods to increase the efficiency of the training rather than force students to sit for 8 hours a day. Our school training does not require isolation or renunciation from the world. Pricing We charge $80 for a month's study, billed as $480 for a semester of 6 months in 2022. (Yearly $960) This price may be subject to adjustments on an annual basis. The price is the same on all levels of the Foundation program. Start date The school gates are open, and you can enroll on any date you are ready. Graduation Prospects Only those who complete the foundation training program with a satisfactory grade on all 16 core modules can continue training with us in the future or visit our offline retreats. Upon Graduation and based on performance in the program, an Adept will have multiple options: a. Graduate, with a complete foundation, you can be free to go deeper into any path you want without being locked into the Magus tradition. You can also take a break; we will record your name if you wish to continue your studies later. b. Sign up for Advanced Training (It will become available later). c. Join us in the Magus Order in Adept rank. Learn more If you wish to send an application, read F.A.Q, or ask us questions, you can do this on our School Discord Server. https://discord.gg/b5afabBZAP

The main danger is to literally lose your mind. When driven by fear and illusion, it's easy to become paranoid, and experience psychosis. It could affect physical health as well. The other most frequent danger is getting lost within your little world of illusions you built by yourself. Visualization is one part of the practice that leads to Third Eye activation. When done improperly, it could damage you physically (losing eyesight for example, or having issues with brain blood circulation). As you pointed out, it's used in dream yoga (what we do is lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, and astral travel). Those have their own dangers as well. For example, you can get drained very significantly if you encounter a hostile creature. Death leading to enlightenment is a good concept, but it's more in the "realm of gods", as for regular cultivators and even masters such a high level is not attainable. You practically need to become a Buddha or something.

1. Non-physical entity simply means consistent awareness of self as a spirit in a vessel, where the spirit controls the body, not the other way around. It means that you have control over automatic body reactions and impulses. 2. "Immortal" generally refers to the ability to reduce the destruction of your spirit/mental body after you die. It depends on the "size" of a sea of consciousness, supported by past life memories and experiences and vast experiences of the present life. It's what people call talent or predisposition to certain things, where you don't have to learn a new skill from scratch in the next life. Sounds good on the surface, but it's easy to fall into a rabid hole of illusions when working with this.

As someone who developed this course, I would say there are many ways to achieve what you want. Our method is one of the options you have. You can train alone, in a group, with a personal teacher, free or paid. In my experience, training in a group provides more discipline and motivation and makes a student stick to the routine. Sure, there's plenty of information online, but trying to use it to your benefit is a whole other thing. Usually, when there's no teacher with a stick to hit you, a student loses passion over time. Why did I put up this course? Because it worked for me (us) to acquire mental strength and to become aware of myself as a non-physical entity. A long time ago, when I was a student myself, I had the same issue when I knew a lot of information was out there, and I tried energy stuff on my own, but I only ended up hurting myself, which took a long time to recover. As for the financial part of the equation, to each his own, it's best to be on a sound footing and not worry about material things if you're willing to spend a lot of time in cultivation. Regarding pursuing immortality, it's never meant in the physical sense of it (although it would've been nice). Even great masters die.

You quickly run out of luck, if you keep with the trial and error thing.

As someone who survived falling down the fool cliff, I understand how the determiner "my" makes all the difference.

When I use root Chakra, It's merely to connect myself to the Elder reality, where my body came from, the Earth, and the Cosmos. Many times it could be a painful gut-wrenching experience because all of the imperfections in your body come out. Consider a gemstone with cracks and impurities. It will have much less strength than a flawless gemstone. The further you are from the roots, the weaker you become. Women are much more grounded than men due to their energy composition; therefore, they are rarely interested in something so abstract.

How good are you at math or learning in general? I've been seeking for the same 15 years ago. Then I developed my own techniques based on concentration and various teachers. Below is my overview.

This is an interesting observation, provided that God exists. Both rules and ideas about God or anything else exists in the mind of humans as mental objects. When a mystic realizes this, he's freed from a lot of mind shackles. For example, the reason the average person tries to act the part, and do socially acceptable behavior, like holding doors for others is the existence of these rules as mental constructs in his mind. And it's hard to completely avoid these constructs since they are pretty strong (created by large populations).

Yea, blah blah, almost everyone who knows about reincarnation claims to be a Magus Lord Merlin back in the day. It's called Ego. I have even seen a few services which can check on you to see your past lives (for a fee, of course).

His followers have done it for him

When I was on a certain practice, by the third week Baphomet came along and interrupted lol

I rather not have this choice. I will use both ideas to my benefit when it suits me. Because they are different sides of the same coin.
