  1. Dealing with a parent with dementia

    Thanks everyone for the support and imput... Karen, you hit the nail on the head about "expecting how they should react and the projecting aspect." She'll be seeing a neurologist soon for an official diagnosis................I know there is some depression still going on since my dad just passed on Columbus day. As far as any Alternative treatment goes...........she's from the old school does what her doctor tells her and she still smokes! We are also looking into Adult Day Care and Senior activity centers...................Mom has been sort of an introvert most of her life and getting her out of her comfort zone will be a challenge. A friend of mine is going through a similar situation with his mom, said a sense of humor is very important..............As a matter of fact, he said his mom could hide her own Easter eggs! Anyway, thanks all for your kindness and support. ToP-fan
  2. A Warning

    Hey Benny, how come there's more horses asses in the world than there are horses?
  3. I was wondering if any of my fellow Bums have used or heard of this meditation cd. It is called "Ocean Euphoric" by a guy named Kip Mazuy who used to write music for Brother Charles and his "Synchronicity" programs. Kip has found a way to energetically transform and capture the meditative experience of Shaktipat by way of is music..............seems pretty cool! His website is:www.bliss-music.com
  4. A different type of Meditation cd

    Thanks yogabonheur!
  5. A different type of Meditation cd

    As far as I know, Brother Charles is still around with the programs now on cd....................Yeah Scotty, the 80 clams are what's still holding me back. I'm sure the reviews are legit............I was hoping some of the Bums used the cd to get a more unbiased view.
  6. sore throat and weak feeling

    What works for me, homemade colloidal silver When I feel a cold or flu like symptoms coming on, I start drinking 8 to 16 oz a day.....................The virus usually disappears in 2 to 3 days...........Works like a charm. Also, if you have access to a small trampoline, rebound exercise is a cellular workout and stimulates the lymphatic systems which will help toxins out of the body faster. Note: the above is not to be construed as medical but informational purposes only.
  7. Death, Life, and Meaning

    Thanks Rookie for sharing that and everyone for your insightful thoughts and comments. I lost my dad 2 weeks ago and the sting of his passing is still with me.................For 3 years, he had a multitude of health problems and I know it's a cliche saying his passing " was a blessing" but it truly was. It was easier to see him moments after he passed, than it was the last 3 months confined to a hospital bed totally paralysed with a feeding tube in his stomach with the light gone from his once sparkling eyes. I know from my studies and personal experience that the life force, soul, spirit etc does continue it's journey and he's now in a better place. Peace
  8. Bronnikov Method

    I recently purchased the video and have not watched it all yet..............It runs over 2 hours and 30 minutes and it is translated into English. It is called "Ecology of The Spirit" and goes into the personal history of Mr. Bronnikov and how he was initiated into a form of remote viewing and healing by Tibetan monk by developng the subtle energy bodies. The video then goes into various training exercises for developing and expanding the bio-field with sensing, building and revitalizing the aura. This "1st stage" video is mainly building the foundation for the rest of the program which is being taught in seminars and is not available on dvd yet. The vibe I get from Mr. Bronnikov is a man of integrity who really wants to help expand human potential. As a side note: A friend of mine who purchased the video awhile back and has been doing the exercises has had some wild experiences. Her ability to see without eyes has been developing even with her eyes open.......(open eyed remote viewing?)..............One day while sitting down watching tv, in her mind saw the mailman outside delivering the mail.............thought it was her imagination, looked out the window and there he was at the mailbox!...................Her telepathic abilities have expanded also.......(too numerous to mention) Well, I gave my opinion and you know what they say about em
  9. Favorite Foods

    Casserta's Sicilian Pizza from Federal Hill in Providence..............."Hey,... you talkin to me?"
  10. I've been using MMS for about 2 months now. The protocol calls for starting out with just a couple drops per dosage and eventually build up to 15. My personal experience with it has been pretty good.....................At the beginning, I had to cut back on the dosage amount because of slight nausea and diarhea.(spelling?).....All common side effects. I would recommend the book," Breakthrough-The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century" by Jim Humble...............There is also a dvd available from many of the MMS retailers. The book and video give a great history of how MMS was discovered and the many folks who have been helped by it.
  11. I've used colloidal silver now for almost 13 years and swear by it................Anytime I've felt a cold coming on, I would drink 8 oz and it would get stopped in it's tracks...............I make my own and my machine also doubles as a "blood zapper" to electroporate any unwanted critters in the bloodstream. The machine I use is from Dr. Bob Beck, one of the pioneers in colloidal silver and blood electrification research..............By today's standards, my machine is now a dinosaur but still works like a charm. The only downside to using colloidal silver, is that I am no longer able to walk through airport metal detectors.......(just kidding!) I've also just started using MMS mentioned in an earlier post...................google mms and check out the story on it's discovery..............quite amazing!
  12. Happy Birthday Father Paul

    I used to enjoy Father Paul's posts flavored by his biting sarcasm and humor. Happy B Day Father and a cosmic toast to you! Does anyone know what Father Paul passed from?
  13. Chi Power Plus

    Ah, The Scientific Premium Co is getting attention again.................I didn't know there was a previous thread on them or I would have joined the fun then. In a nutshell, I purchased one of their programs 5 years ago, saw that it was all rehashed material, contacted the company and expressed my dissatisfaction and they told me to read the fine print. I countered that they were misrepresenting and misleading consumers with their ads and Perhacs stated that everything they did was above board and did not have to give a refund if you did not use it for 90 days. I told them to go screw themselves and chalked it up to a lesson learned that"If it's too good to be true, it usually is." My advice, stay away from ripoff city.
  14. AntiPhonal Taoism

    I have an ice cream headache!
  15. Jerry Alan Johnson

    I just got JAJ's new book "Daoist Magical Transformation Skills: Dream Magic, Shapeshifting, Soul Travel, and Sex Magic".................heavy duty stuff. It's loaded with techniques and looks like a manual that will take a lifetime of study.............. A little pricey at 80 bucks and 242 pages, but filled with concepts and teachings never seen before.........To me, well worth the investment.
  16. The Grim Reaper has been some what on my mind lately also...............My dad suffered a stroke 2 months ago and even though he's having a decent recovery with therapy, the thought of his mortality and everybody else's has been a daily occurance. If it weren't for some OBE's that I have had, I would probably be more obsessed with death than I already am.................Call it spirit, soul, astral body etc, I take comfort that some part of me is immortal and to steal from physics, "matter can be neither created nor destroyed." and will pop up somewhere else. That's the big mystery for everyone I guess.......I've developed a Death for Dummies mantra that I repeat to myself whenever the skeleton with the sickle runs a feedback loop in my head. "Your not here.......Your here.......Your not here" We flicker in and out of 3d and have probably done it thousands of times.
  17. Maybe he could fry some good chow on the Emeril show!
  18. government's trying to fuck you

    First off, just saying the words "Conspiracy Theory" brings to mind UFO's, Bigfoot, Men in Black, Men in camoflage bumfucking little squirrels in the backwoods of Indiana while awaiting the apocalypse. They're trigger words designed to elicit a response and it's usually to keep the disinfo and the sarcasm flowing. A few years back, if you came to me and said 911 was an inside job, I would have told you" your out of your fucking mind you godamn Commie!" Having a lot of time on my hands, I did some research and plenty of reading and as Chanwu stated earlier, it all comes down to $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. There's a term called "False Flag Terrorism" and Countries have been doing it for hundreds of years...........If you want to have a war and you just don't happen to have an enemy at the moment, you attack yourself and then point the finger at your newly created enemy................There's profit in war..........As a matter of fact, a book was written in the in the 30's called " War is a Racket" by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC. In it, General Butler realised after participating in numerous battles including the Spanish American War, that he was fighting for corporate profit and devoted the rest of his life lecturing on the fraud that had been brought on the American people. Who or what is the evil behind the curtain? It's the Banksters............The Federal Reserve.......................who are not Federal and there's no Reserve!.......................They're a private bank and have been printing money out of thin air with no backing (gold and silver) since 1913. Check out the dvd from the late great Aaron Russo-"America: From Freedom to Fascism"...........It'll blow your mind and put everthing into perspective. Other authors to check out: Webster Tarpley Jim Marrs Victor Thorn David Ray Griffin "Conspiracy Theory......Conspiracy Theory.......You are now in Sing Sing!"
  19. OBE's Who here has had one?

    I started having OBE's in my early 20's as a result of drug experimentation, not necessarily during the drug experience but after when coming down. Some have occured when just drifting off to sleep and in the early morning hours and for some crazy reason many involve floating along near power lines like they were some sort of electronic astral leash. The books that I've read, was to study the phenomenon and not to learn how to do it.........The WHY was more important. The most fascinating one for me was when I had a high fever and was bed bound................It was very warm and stuffy in the bedroom. The windows are of the roll out kind and I attempted to crank it open for some fresh air. I kept trying to crank the wndow but couldn't grip the handle...........It was at this point that I realised that I was out of body and the person sleeping was me! At that moment, I slipped,........more like popped back in my body. The question I always asked was, How does one see without physical eyes?

  21. Favorite Meaningful Song Lyrics

    I am gross and perverted I'm obsessed 'n deranged I have existed for years But very little has changed I'm the tool of the government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away I make you think I'm delicious With the stuff that I say I'm the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime oozing out From your TV set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't go for help....no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold Announcers Voice: "That's right folks....don't touch that dial!" Chorus: Well, I am the slime from the video Oozin' along on your livin room floor I am the slime from your video Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go I'm the Slime By Frank Zappa
  22. Western Energy and healing cultivation methods?

    Hi Vortex, I'm going to do my 'Potentiation' on Friday evening...............The session is 30 minutes long and is done by the facilitator remotely...........It can also be done in person. After reading the book and checking out the website, I decided to give it a go...............I 've heard about Regenetics for some time now and did my own detective work before fully commiting to the program. Although I don't know anyone personally who as done it, I've spoken to a few who have gone through the 1st phase and they are currently waiting for the proper time period to do the second phase which is called 'Articulation'...................The waiting period between the 2 activations is about 5 and a half months. I definitely recommend reading and re-reading the book, for it will give a clear understanding on how the process works and what to expect from each. Absolutely mind blowing to say the least!
  23. Western Energy and healing cultivation methods?

    I am going to be participating in a fairly new energy healing modality called " Regenetics" by Sol Luckman....................It is a form of healing from new research in 'wave-genetics' that reveals DNA can be activated, noninvasively by radio and light waves keyed to human language frequencies. Studies by cell biologists further demonstrate that the genetic code can be stimulated through human consciousness, specifically, the unity consciousness associated with unconditional love to heal not only mind and spirit but the body as well. Mr. Luckman has a book out called ' Conscious Healing-Book One on the Regenetics Method' ...................It is available at Amazon and most on line internet booksellers. Their website is: www.phoenixregenetics.org
  24. To Freesun, in answer to your question "How do I know that psychedelics are responsible for my being sensitive to other's energies etc?" Only you know your life experiences and through the act of attention, you notice certain shifts. A major one for me was that the after effect was kind of like an acid hangover which lingered and it seemed to have a carry over to day to day existence. That carry over, was the sensitivity to energies........ animate and inanimate. Through the works of Barbara Brennan and Dr. Valerie Hunt, I received some validation from my assumptions....................In their research, they could tell which people had done hallucinogens through weaknesses and tears in the aura which left them vulnerable to influences from many sources.

  25. I did a lot of acid, mescaline and shrooms in the 70's......................Had many paranormal experiences, especially on acid. At the time, I knew from doing it that there was much more to what we call "reality" than what is perceived with our 5 senses................. Seeing energy fields, having out of body episodes, telepathy and even encountering a ufo...... happened with no safety net. I do consider these experiences life changing and valuable but If I was in my early 20's right now and was given the choice to do it over..........I would not. For me, the negatives have outweighed the positive...............One of the major negatives for me is that it opened me up to things that I can't shut off and has taken the last 30 years to balance out..........................While being empathic can be a good thing, I am constantly picking up stuff from people, the environment etc and it can be a real pain in the ass. Now.........Every day is an adventure in grounding oneself and I'm grateful we have a website such as this so we can share and discuss all the topics that come up.
