This bird loves to get down. You can find him busting a move to 'Another One Bites The Dust' if you follow the 'tube links. NW

Agree with all. The earth is a living being in every sense. NW

Yes these things do happen. My own cure would be some palliative spiritual cleansing, relaxation exercises... but mostly self-knowledge. NW

too perfect... I love the way the crest looks right in the last frame... that bird is waaaaay into it. NW

Jokes for those who take life too seriously :D

Q: How many Marxists does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: None: The light bulb contains the seeds of its own revolution. Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: None. (``That's all right...I'll just sit here in the dark...'') Q: How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb? A: Three, but they're really only one. Q: How many Roman Catholics does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: Two. One to do the screwing, and one to hear the confession. Q: How many dadaists does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: To get to the other side. All from: http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/88old/bulb.html ... a pretty encyclopedic collection. If you want to know what 'probably the only really good light bulb joke of 1984' was, head over there now. All best wishes, ~NeutralWire~ -
Cool yeah? Who knew?! Forgot to say also that the acupressure on 12 ordinary channels that Trunk is talking about is also a real help in that whole area of calm. Really educates the energy and smartens it up, recommend this. NW

I think you have to have two strategies for this, the long-term and the short-term. Long-term is you have to relax your body half hour per day, pref. go to no-mind for a long period, and be well-exercised. That will work wonders. And sort out your personality so your hot buttons go away and you become deep and grounded, then life won't shift you away from calm in the first place. After a while of doing that I've developed methods I love. Short-term, I really like EMDR -- or EMT, as this book calls it, 'Eye Movement Technique' -- http://www.amazon.com/Yourself-Movement-Te...9428&sr=1-1 . Lots of people like EFT as well. From a western reflexology manual I learned to use interlaced fingers, slightly squeezed at the base and held for a few minutes, to calm anxiety. That always worked. I was very surprised to find it demonstrated here: ... by a young Masaaki Hatsumi as part of a ninja-lineage calming technique. Most important is to be aware throughout the day also, probably everyone knows that; I am not sure how obvious these answers should be getting. EDIT: Also, not being around assy, sensitive, easily-threatened arguey people who are desperate about their lives, don't know how to be satisfied and enjoy themselves... is really good for this. Good luck on that one. I know it really 'shouldn't' make a difference, but when you're with cool people, it's just so much easier All best wishes, ~NeutralWire~

Good thought on the eight extraordinary channels points too. NW

Pietro -- If you wanted places to start try John Michael Greer's brilliant analysis on www.thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com, plus his two fave historians of cultural anatomy, Arnold Toynbee and Oswald Spengler. Plenty of books about collapse out there right now of course, but you can trust these three. NW

I want that, good idea! It's a clutter thing... if it's really years, is there anything wrong with putting a Personal page in a separate subforum? -- to be replaced on the main page if it is taken up again, of course. NW
-
hagar -- Well I also hear you, but I literally cannot be any more responsible about it than I am already. And personally I would not worry about having changed your mind, which is one of the prerogatives of owning one. When you say: ... I have noticed a tendency (usually cured very quickly by experience) for people to choose a spiritual path as if choosing a brand of cereal... I'm afraid I get rather Glenn about it. I'll avoid misleading but I can't give personal advice to impersonal hordes of 'uninformed and misinformed people'... what those people need to do is get informed. We all had to. I always answer pms on this topic because I realize how important it is. But you cannot repeat caveats ad nauseum either... All best wishes, ~NeutralWire~

SANTIAGO DOBLES'S SECRET CLUB Where I take all your money & you Learn nothing.
NeutralWire replied to Vajrasattva's topic in General Discussion
I really hope so. I am another who thinks that Santiago had nothing to defend. I'm very surprised this has lasted so long, and can't quite see what is being accomplished here. NW -
Love this

Just to mention that I would always stand 100% by anything I say about anyone or anything. NW
-
Oh yes you can.

I don't know if I can express what I mean. I learned this one yesterday and I wrote this then, I hope it makes sense: Everybody has something deep inside which matters to them so much, and everybody is trying to live from that place within, the place of truth. So you have the truth itself, and you have the living-from. And all those truths deep within are perfectly co-ordinate and do not fight one another, but on earth, owing to the primitiveness of our ways of being, the living-from can seem to butt heads with other living-froms. That is why it is so important that one realize, a way of life is something that a person fashions to reflect a truth deep inside, and that truth is as important as can be imagined, even if the living-from that truth is not manifesting it well. unconditioned -- That is so great! I love especially the fact that I was just reading through some old Stoic philosophers who said just the same thing. We're all in this big chain. All best wishes, ~NeutralWire~

thelerner I love that attitude, really well put. Agree 100%. NW
-
Santiago: Agree strongly! cat Well I think your remarks are cogent. Laziness for me is basically lack of interest, lack of enthusiasm, lack of love for what one is doing, no creativity, settling for a repeating pattern etc. etc. It's what happens when you've forgotten the goal you are striving for, are not getting good 'success feedback' and/or haven't persistence. Life will keep kicking one in the butt to solve specific issues, but for the full deal, you will be looking at self-motivation. It's a love thing is what it is. Agree about psychology. NW

I second Stigweard's recommendation. Start removing thoughts (some from fellow bums) about how 'hard' it is. If you really want to 'decide' to give up soda, you can't have your next thought be 'but I'm not sure I can'! That book will show you how to make a real decision. NW

Before it was hijacked by scientists (a couple of thousand years before), psyche meant 'soul' in the west. But my friend, if you think I'm advocating staying on the surface and never seeing the depths you are molto mistaken. NW

Yes I got that as soon as I replied to you; he's still playing and he's still as lovely as ever. Yes it's possible, but my point is how do you make it certain? And how do you turn the cowards into brave ones? And how do you turn the lazy ones into hardworking ones? Everyone can do this. Everyone is actually brave and everyone is actually willing to do the work. How do you get them to realize it? NW

Santiago I'm very happy to see you contributing to this particular thread. First off: you were much more dedicated than I was when I began; I think I've made that clear and that is one of the reasons you succeeded right off and I didn't. And second off: none of this is intended as a criticism of Glenn's method for which I still have every respect. With a method this good though, an honest request for people to come forward and say straight out, yes, I had full kundalini with KAP alone, no other methods, could bring more people out. Not that those people don't exist of course, but they don't flood out and rush to commend; there aren't as many as there could be. Why? To me the level of dedication you yourself have shown isn't something everyone else shows. To me you have the sound of a man who met Glenn when you were ready... but if you aren't ready, how do you get ready? In the old days you'd be sweeping the temple and making the tea for old guys quite a few years. That'll sort out the undedicated! The bold cry in the new age is, those days are gone. Now we're ready for the straight stuff. Well are we? You mention that people shouldn't be lazy, that they should serve others, that they should empty their cups and not seek power, you mention eight-hour meditation sessions and an extra helping of karma/divine grace on top. My point to you is simply this: some people aren't in a place where they can give that yet. First they need to look in their souls. If you look at yourself and go, "I'm not the human being I ought to be", are you ready to meet the gods? Let's at least consider the idea: maybe not. These requirements exist. You're saying, a good method doesn't equal a free ride and how true is that! But some people have no respect and I know because I was definitely one of them for a long time. There are plenty of people in the world who like the idea of being 'enlightened' but they are lazy, they don't serve others, they don't empty their cups, they do seek power, they won't put in the work, and their divine grace stash is rapidly emptying out with no further payments going in. What happens when you hand an enlightenment method to someone like that? Not really a lot. I know. I know because a decade ago that was me. People really should know, when they begin, that it's going to take a lot, and they should be prepared to give a lot. But they might not be. It depends how they've lived their lives up until that point. That's why, once upon a time, these methods were for star students only. These days our baseline humanity is higher, but people have to be prepared to really live -- if they're not, some preparation might be in order. Because like you say, these aren't things you learn in a weekend. People here are mostly ahead of where I was when I met Glenn, no question. But being so behind caused me to do more work in order to catch up; what I'm doing here is just trying to give the fruits of what I learned. That's why I'm saying Bardon's method might have something for people to consider, in terms of cleaning your soul right away before everything else, and getting dedicated first. Just that one idea. Something to play with. Add it onto the front of any other practice. Glenn says 'Oh by the way clean up your act first' -- Bardon won't give you anything until you have already completely cleaned it up, and if you're dedicated enough to do that, your potential and your divine grace levels have just expanded dramatically. Then you will do the work! I think KAP should still be taught exactly as it's being taught and I think it will work for some. But many will stop at awkward points for lack of self-knowledge. In the end, what I'm saying is that self-knowledge is going to make the difference between getting it and not getting it. So I repeat: Some people are close enough to being clean inside anyway that they're ready to push; others have more to do first IMHO. They can all do kundalini, but the success ratio is going to coincide with that all-important level of self-knowledge. I really think this the law of cosmos we find ourselves in. NW

cat -- Oh I didn't realize you'd read him already... still few dislike being reminded of Glenn as you say. A wish, even a plan... hopefully a clue. But 'agenda' sounds a bit like I'm running for political office. The 'agenda' is just really, Bardon is cool and could be easier, if you look at it differently and combine it with other stuff. It still needs commitment but the sense of discovery and flow can be emphasized which changes the vibe and might make more people go further with that practice. Well on Golden Dawn, neither do I. To me that's completely different. We'll see on the rest. Here's to Glenn... hey BTW, do people doing KAP get spiders popping around? When I activate Glenn's stuff they still come running. NW
