Mmm, I just did my first Kunlun practice session and it raised a few more questions. (none to do with N.L.P.) How fluid do i let it get? energy from my navel seemed to be pushing my hand away. is it ok to loose the 'holding the ball' position? My back muscles are really sore from a Kungfu workshop 2 days ago, so it was a bit of an ordeal sitting for that long with back straight. Is it a ridgid discipline, I know its about surrendering but is that within the context of a well held frame? Any thoughts are appreciated and thank you so much to the people who already gave me some feedback on my other questions. Seth. Sat Chit Anand! P.S. I love the feeling of being really unable to tell if your hot or cold or both.

Ahh Thats great It reminds me of that soccer team, Senegal i think, they fired there Witchdoctor and didnt pay him cause they wanted to clean up their image or something, and they lost every game till they rehired him and then started winning again. The camera would zoom in on him sometimes in matches jumping about shaking bones and rattles. I hope you shook some bones... Seth

Sydney or Melbourne would probably be best to get the Numbers. My friend has a studio space that people use for workshops sometimes. Does Max teach indoors or does it have to be outside like it said in the book? actually, do you all practice out side? what about winter? I'm on day 10 now and Feelin it. The annoying thing is I usually only release once a month anyway but dont really think about it. Now I'm all psyched for 100 though its really standing out (ahh no pun intended) Seth. Sat Chit Anand

Hi jjw. as far as i know there is a Yang Mian teacher in brisbane. I think i saw the number on the Yang Mian website. It is an internal art that quickly develops great power. Quite awesome. The thru-arm practice will permanently end any cold hand symptoms for anyone full stop. It also quickly teaches the body to become very relaxed. It has less on the chigung side though if thats what you want. Good luck finding something good. Seth.

i don't care what anyone says about NLP
Seth Ananda replied to Pranaman's topic in General Discussion
Good for you Pranaman! If your getting good stuff out of it, go for it. It must be frustrating to have Emphasized that you are practicing the Healing side of N.L.P. not the Sales/persuasion engineering side. They are light years apart. One makes you slowly become a nicer person through releasing the crap, the other makes you try to seem like a nicer person but actually usually come off like an obnoxious prat! If you don't know how the techniques work, I agree you are susceptible to a skilled user, but once you know they start to look rather funny and then its your turn to mess with them. I worked in a shop with a massive N.L.P. section and had many people in from their $1000+ dollar n.l.p. business courses, and they would try all kinds of things to get a discount on their purchases. I used to love just flatly refusing and then pretty much acting like they had offended me some how Poor bastards would huddle back together, discuss a new plan of attack and fail again. Some of them left in a nearly hysterical state as their new super technique obviously wasn't working. anyway enough about me, Good for you Pranaman. Seth. Sat Chit Anand -
Thanks Scotty, You Rule! Seth. I'm already on day 8 of the 100 days and look forward to experiencing the results. I'll start with the first part as recommended. How does he teach level one in the workshop if there is meant to be 6 months between each stage? Seth. Sat Chit Anand
-
WAHOO! Good stuff, sounds like we'll get them here eventually. I can get to Sydney or Brisbane for that matter but Melbourne's better of course. mm, i dont think I can afford Hawaii though Seth. Would anyone in Melb be interested in getting together to practice?

I went 7 days without food or fluid of any kind, followed by another 3 weeks of only fluids, and I felt great. Its well documented medically that you can. Just do a search on starvation protests. Its generally accepted that you can do this only they will list all the side affects like blindness... I don't think they have had many chances to study someone who is happy, healthy and un-stressed. I didnt have any side effects. I wouldn't do it again that way and don't recommend it as there are better ways to do what i was trying to do. Seth. Sat Chit Anand.

Damn it now i have another question. 6 - What are the Egyptian methods? Seth. Sat Chit Anand.

Im a bit of a Wilbur fan as well. the funny thing is i have not read a single book of his. I just keep reading quotes and excerpts from him in other peoples stuff. The counseling course I'm doing draws heavily on him in areas. Have you read any of A.H. Almass? i love his diamond approach stuff. I think his levels of realization and his intergration of East/West stuff go further than Wilbur. Wilbur has quoted him quite a bit in places. Just my perspective. Thanks. Seth. Sat Chit Anand!

There is lots of methods, and definitely what Shontonga said. This worked wonders for me. I went bare foot for 3 years. every time there is glass on the path or fields of prickles, you ask will i get cut or prickled? It also trained some mind skill as you also learn to refuse to get cut as you walk straight over the worst of it. Intention is everything and there will be (OUCH!) painfull lessons. Also what Shontonga said. You have to trust as you hold an intention and the milisecond it wavers, Ouch. Fantastic tool if you have the inclination to do it. To this day my 'danger sense' is Highly tuned. I also used to use public transport alot, and when i got to the ticket machine i would ask, "Am i going to see any ticket inspectors or cops today?" needless to say intuition is always right and if its not clear at first, After your first $300 fine, it'll be clear as day from then on. I did that for a few years as well, before I became a 'Responsible' citizen. It was an invaluable period of training. Seth.

Hi Everyone I just got pillars of bliss, lol I must have ordered it days before the new one came out I read through it last night and this morning. (there is no nlp in it, I checked) I have some Clarification questions though before I start. 1 - in the visualization at the start do I imagine the scenario around/with my body or do i imagine/visualize a picture of myself in my mind or does it not matter? I know in some practices its important how you do this. 2 - Are there many Kunlunners in Australia or Melbourne? 3 - Does anyone know if Max/ or teachers will ever come to Australia? 4 - Do you have to wait the 6 month periods before each new stage of level one? I'm impatient I know, but I have practiced A lot of stuff for a long time and my nervous system is already quite clear and strong. Is this just a safety precaution for beginners? My vanity may kill me yet! 5 - I know other threads have covered this but I'd like to hear more on mixing practices! Max himself chucks in bid draw, and teaches a whole host of other things. I'd really appreciate hearing practitioners views, and am excited to begin. I get a good vibe from the system. Thanks! Seth. Sat Chit Anand

Hi Tao Bums! Big love to you all and a question. I have an old friend with bad arthritis, very little balance, but would like to do something that would help heal and then help start to maintain her health and body. It would have to be very soft and gentle, and easy to learn. Book or video-dvd are fine. Suggestions? Thanks, Seth.

Great! This looks like many excellent sources to follow. Thanks Heaps Everyone! Seth. Sat Chit Anand!

I didn't follow that link so I'm not sure what that process was, but yes I have done this alone and with the help of others. Quite an experience. Seth.

Seriously Folks, How much should I charge, Is one Million enough? As the Dan Tien Death Star is the Only true and real Dan Tien technology How much is it worth? All other cultivators and practices are a joke! Seriously, CAN YOU BLOW PLANETS UP? I don't think so. I Can. Only me. If you feel the dreadful inadequacy of not having this one true power, dont worry, Ill allow a select few to pay me, (a small amount really for what you get) for these pricless secrets. Never Again will you have to worry that your not practicing the Real Stuff because you'll be one of the few who actually Knows the Real Stuff! Thats a priceless feeling in and of it self. So Come On Guys and Gals, Who's In? Message me and we can set up the transaction. Seth. Sat Chit Anand! P.S. Any one who doesn't like this post is merely suffering from little Dan Tien Syndrome. Stay tuned for my Dan tien Death Star Level 2! Ultimate Chick Magnet Dan Tien Death Star Dynamite! WHOAA!!

Arghgh! Why is everyone leaving? I just got here and everyone is leaving. Is it me? I like you Emily! Your post are great and you add some much needed female perspective! Thank you. Seth. Sat Chit Anand!

Full Power to you! I've enjoyed your posts so thank you and Blessings on your endeavor. Seth Sat Chit Anand!

Thanks Phore, Thanks HunDun, and thanks Mwight. its an entertaining thread. HunDun I love how you write, you expressed that stuff well. Mwight, unfortantly i agree with you about a large majority of western magick practitioners. Self absorbed, delusional, uncommitted loonys. I know some real gems in the field but there the exception not the rule. I have been with several groups too, and the politics is astounding. In my experience the Crowlian systems seem to attract even an even lower common denominator than the others. I think its part of that desire to be a Magical BaddAss thing. I have met so many 'Evil Black Magicians' that cant Fight/Cast/or Pay their way out of a wet paper bag. They couldn't even get up off the couch and walk out of one. Its just not funny. At the same time there are the hyper disciplined Tunnel vision'd semi Delusional's. At least they practice and some of them can do stuff with reasonable reliability. But if you met them you'd be glad your a Cultivator and not them. I Left these groups and stopped most of the practices for the same reasons others here stated, also went towards the deeper trance/shamanic stuff afterwards. As for the things I still use. I just love Elemental Rituals and perform them weekly. They make me feel a sense of oneness with the world and I am friends with the Elements. It is not a relationship of command but friendship. I can ask them for favors sometimes, Like having it rain or storm and they happily oblige. Its great in desert regions during droughts. I helped cure a man years ago who was HIV+ with Middle pillar, Invocations and banishings. His doctor was speechless and Then pronounced it a case of miss diagnosis (over years of constant blood tests ) I used middle pillar and demonic evocation to cure myself of Ross-river Fever in a night. Its supossed to be incurable. It doesnt really matter i guess, Ive done and experienced many things in this field but no one has to believe anything. I still use Sigils sometimes, only for big stuff, and find it great for lining up 'Events' I Totally agree with whoever said that love is the key to making much of it work. If your standing in a circle calling on an element, in this nasal voice: "i call upon the watchtowers of the north..." with no actual love for the element, why would it come? I certainly wouldnt. But ill visit my friends. Seth. Sat Chit Anand!

Funny. You obviously don't have much but an opinion on this subject. But to be fair to your point of view there are a lot of people simply acting out formula's hoping 'something will happen.' They usally give up in the end if they dont find their way in. Magic changed my entire way of relating to the universe, permanently. The Energy one learns to access is enormous. One learns to strongly interact with the raw Forces and Intelligences of the Universe. I will be Eternally grateful for my period in the Magical Tradition. Seth. Sat Chit Anand. p.s. check out the Middle Pillar Exersize. what is it but a ritualized western form of the Microcosmic Orbit. it has the front, back, sides, and thrusting-middle channels. it also includes the Auric field. And is Highly charging.

Monsanto is the Devil on Crack! and steroids! Bring it down! Sigilize its Destruction! Seth. Sat Chit Anand!

Mine gave me pain for a year or two, I didnt see a dentist, and they righted themselves eventually. I dont know if it is at all similar to what you have though so who knows. Someone said they are called wisdom teeth because they teach you to live with pain I hope there is more to wisdom to that! Good luck. Seth. P.S. My partner straightens her own teeth using finger pressure, gum, tounge and spine release techniques.

Mmm, Strange forum, From Lotus? to Orgasms at a distance some of my thoughts are: I have been able to orgasm internally at will, for probably the last 10 years and I don't get what the big deal about this is. Its a very minor step in the tantric tradition, and it comes from piercing the second chakra knot. Just writing about it is turning it on as it simply responds to thought/awareness. There is nothing particularly spiritual about it either, just a normal ability of the nervous system.Full lotus has nothing to do with its strength or effect by the way. It is good for quieting the mind so is helpful for Samahdi. Yes one can send it to others, but whoa! one has to be careful. The Ego (for most men)(yes mine too) Loves being able to 'make' a Woman squirm! what a great feeling, but we are talking about a spiritual path here and i think there are more than enough stories warning about what happens When the Ego gets some power and is allowed to run with it. I may be accused of being conservative but this is the reason the tantric path is said to be the quickest and also the most Dangerous! I know plenty of people who learnt these skills and never progressed further. Some are quite simply Abusers of women. The pattern: Find (generally low self esteem) women, O at a D them, they become completely entranced (that someone so 'developed' is interested in them) and join the harem. Usally the male in these situations is sucking far more than he is giving (although he would never admit that to himself) and you can see beautiful young girls quickly dry up. It's sad. A classic case of Tantric Vampirism. What about the ethics of shooting O energy at a stranger, is it any different to popping out da Lingam and going for a face shot at a stranger? I know the pineal says there 'open to it' but really. Say they get home after, feeling weird about whatever happened and Kundalini wakes. No teacher, no knowledge, just Blam! that takes some people to suicide - I'm not joking. What are the repercussions that you dont know about. I ran a kundalini support group for years with a friend, and I can tell you, This stuff is Serious! ( ah that doesn't matter, it makes me feel good, and like I have some control in my life...) Full Lotus is great for long term meditation, it supports the back perfectly and i like it but what a ridiculous concept that it is somehow a prerequisite for Spiritual work. Has anyone ever met, Maori's, tongans, or torres straight islanders? Legs like tree trunks. There is no way some of them will ever get even close to lotus(i'm talking healthy ones too). This therory says that therefore They cant evolve or at least to whatever suposed super level lotus takes u too. Some of the Maori elders i met have some Major energy,and DanTien ability. Very spiritual. Can do everything and more of what some of these Neidan sects are claiming. Seth. Sat Chit Anand!

I like your idea For reducing pollution but I'm all for global warming. I don't think the debate scientifically is over on man made climate change. There are other ideas on whats happening as well. I know its become incredibly politically incorrect to state as such these days but I just don't trust Al Gore (Bushes skull and bones buddy) , What about the evidence to suggest that the increase in Solar flares since the 70's is heating up every planet in the solar system and that its probably cyclical. It may have inadvertently stopped another ice age, (good for us) I do think it highly possible that its both us and Mother Nature at work at the same time. Also Something has to stop or at least really slow down Our insane Military/Industrial/progress rampage into destruction. I LOVE and Trust in Nature, She will always return to balance. We might not be so lucky if we continue in our ways. Still I'm all for Ritual to effect change and am open to hear more on climate change issues. Seth. P.S. did you know Corporations are highly susceptible to Spell work?

I Agree. I know a number of, mm I'm not sure what to call them, Artists, conspiracy enthusiasts, Empowerment fans, all with an appreciation for poetic terrorism, counter programing and Subversion of consensus reality. Some of them work together, some do not and some sometimes do. Their Work is amazing and Inspiring. Join them! Seth.
