  1. All I see here is an article from "Natural News" whatever that is. I just wish people would quote from the actual bill and not engage in arguments that may be misleading. I don't like govt. intrusion either. Just state what the bill says. This requires English 101 skills. Nothing more! ralis
  2. Why not quote what you are concerned about. Base you argument on facts instead of emotions. ralis
  3. Living-without-food Chi Gong

    Jasmuheen turned out to be a fraud. She was eating Twinkies and other junk food. Look it up. ralis
  4. EMF pollution protection

    In a home or any building with electrical circuiitry there are bleed off frequencies from the circuits. The circuits act as an antennae. Therefor an incoherent field exists in the entire building. A very good way to reduce this field effect is to use Stetzer filters. There is a meter that one can buy through his company. The meter will quickly show the reduction in the field strength after the filter is plugged into an outlet. Another way to abate negative fields is to divert the Hartmann lines that have been shown to cause health problems. ralis
  5. KAP syllabus

    Is this description accurate? Is this all the 1st level or the entire teaching? ralis http://www.thetaobums.com/lofiversion/index.php/t5567.html
  6. The books claim that a being of higher intelligence walked into his body when he was 12 yrs. old. Possession? He always referred to being used or beholden to divine providence. He claimed to make the free choice at age 12. Any thoughts? ralis
  7. Be careful with buying herbs from China and surrounding region. Pesticides and other chemicals are definitely in these herbs. I believe one can purchase Panax that is grown in this country. Just remember the melamine contamination that many are dealing with. ralis
  8. Was Franz Bardon a channel?

    What actions do you refer to? I keep reading the praises of Bardon on here and other sites. NeutralWire said Bardon cured the incurable after the war. Why not during the war? Did he and "Divine Providence" look into the souls of the humans being slaughtered in the camps and decide some sort of purification was in order? For their own good? For some sort of higher spiritual cause? So called spiritual evolution? If I believed everything Bardon says, then I would see myself as just a pawn for some higher spiritual game by so called "divine providence", with no will of my own. Therefor everything I do and create is only done by these beings. Sounds like religious fundamentalism to me. It should be obvious that my world view is not myopic and is definitely not some new age wishy washy view. Serious questions need to be asked as to who is the real Bardon. Separate the myth and cojecture from the man. I read the survey from Rawn Clark and take issue with claims of practitioners being one with the Tao etc. A quick read of the Tao De Ching can refute those claims. Anyone who claims to know the Tao, does not know it. ralis
  9. Have been doing this practice for some time with good benefit. He advises not to do the practice on the brain unless under the guidance of a teacher. Says it is too risky. Any thoughts? ralis
  10. I have been using Maca root and it is a wonderful remedy. The ginseng is a little too hot for me. ralis
  11. I have experienced such things. would you elaborate more? Thanks ralis
  12. Was Franz Bardon a channel?

    Here is how I see these so called hierarchies and how some view them. It appears that we are treated like primate lab rats in some sort of experiment. Pain is supposed to motivate us to seek so called higher ground i,e. the absolute which seems to pervade all phenomena and is responsible for all phenomena. ralis

    "Well we don't want to have a rather dull argument here! I will just say: it is emphatically not the case that gods and angels, etc. are the creations of humanity. But I'll only say it once, promise. smile.gif" A little dogma here? Of the absolute sense? ralis

    Bardon's cures of many supposedly incurable ailments in Opava Would you provide a link? Thanks NeutralWire ralis
  15. Djwal Kuhl & Esoteric Acupuncture

    'Absolute verbal descriptions' are semantic traps leading nowhere, because there are no 'absolute verbal descriptions'. Even the so called structure of chakras is debated. What important achievements are you referring to that display some sort of absoluteness? Harmony? I agree in part. However without chaos and change there would be no harmony. Did you know that the quantum level exhibits no gravitational forces. What does that say about what is going on? I have no answer!! LOL!! ralis
  16. Was Franz Bardon a channel?

    What did Bardon do in his lifetime? He is pretty much an unknown, except in a few circles. What good did this spirit do in Bardon's lifetime? To postulate that a being of past renown walked in is difficult to prove at best. Believe what you will about Bardon, but he only left a pile of notes that are compiled in books that are poorly translated. Did any of his students do anything? Nothing is written or passed down from that time to prove that any of his students evolved. Just a lot of unanswered questions. The Tao can neither be quantified, explained or brought down to our primate level of comprehension. ralis
  17. Djwal Kuhl & Esoteric Acupuncture

    Sounds like Sri Gary Olsen's and Eckankar's description of the universe. It is postulated that at some point in time we realize some error in thinking and awareness that caused us to fall into form in the first place. Then we become formless. Is this a fact? I have no idea. All these so called hierarchies and beings seem to be culturally dependent. Namkai Norbu says that these beings, deities etc. are our own nature. As for Rawn Clark it seems as though he was seeing the universe through the Bardon system. It is said that if one is doing Jungian analysis ones views the universe as Jungian archetypes. If one is a Hindu or Buddhist one views the universe through those particular world views. The way I see it, the universe is nothing more than compressed light frequencies in myriad forms. The substance of it all is open to infinite creativity and conjecture. Formless or not one will never comprehend the universe. Or should I say infinity. Absolute verbal descriptions about the so called nature of it all i,e. the isness of reality are completely useless and miss the point. ralis

  19. Djwal Kuhl & Esoteric Acupuncture

    I live in Santa Fe NM and several of my good friends who are DOM's told me that Chinese medicine is cultural revolution medicine. It is a known fact that Mao killed off intellectuals, medical people, teachers etc. Also books were burned and anyone practicing the Tao was killed off. Therefor I agree that TCM is generally not in harmony energetically. We are fortunate that some of the ancient knowledge is resurfacing. ralis
  20. In what ways are you a machine?

    I began to notice my programmed behavior when I was taking the Feldenkrais training. I experienced the unconditioned part of me and realized that what I thought was freedom, was an illusion. I was living in a facade of false personalities, that were reactions to the external world. Felt like I was in some Pavlovian experiment we call life. However, breaking the conditioned movement patterns, seems to take a lifetime. LOL!! These robotic patterns affect how we feel, think and relate. One needs to remember that Gurdjieff was born and lived through the beginnings of the industrial age. which included WW2. Naturally he would conclude that humans were machines. Today we are more likely to use a term such as programmed. ralis
  21. Kundalini & Lucifer &:...

    You are right! The masses are controlled almost absolutely through fear. Strange, how these thought forms (possession) are so pernicious. The ones with self appointed power want absolute control. Whether it is religious or political matters not. ralis
  22. Kundalini & Lucifer &:...

    Alice Bailey never met this so called ascended master. This is just more "New Age" channeling nonsense. I studied her material years ago and found it to be a dead end. There is a teacher in Sedona that has written many books based on her writings. I wrote him a letter and 6 weeks later he sent my letter back and wrote some cryptic response on my letter. LOL!! Can't remember his name. He claims meditation is a negative and harmful. Of course he has his own brand of meditation. LOL!! A Dr. of Naturopathy here in Santa Fe told me that he knew of a number of Alice Bailey devotees that tried to use her system to heal themselves and others. These people became more ill and died. He felt her practices would lead to a disastrous end. ralis
  23. Sith Alchemy

  24. Why not put it in English and German, that way I can translate it on line. Thanks for the input ralis
