  1. Granted! you create the sport tomorrow in your neighbors yard... without telling your neighbor. A chunk of gnome hits his wife in the eye and you end up in jail because the judge didn't buy your defense of "gnome cricket is a real sport!!" unbeknownst to you, the guy across the street thought it was funny as hell and the sport catches on all over the country but he gets the credit so he's rich and famous while your in jail. to make matters worse, when you finally get out, you can't even play because you got raped so many times in prison that you can't run straight! :blink:

     

    I wish was I could teleport a la 'jumper'

     

    Okay, had to watch the movie first. Awesome, didnt even know about it.

     

    Okay so you have the ability to teleport anywhere when you feel like it.

     

    Unfortunately you get caught on a few of those street webcams in Hong Kong and in Amsterdam by accident due to not being too careful about a year or two after you find your special powers. The videos of you teleporting make it on YouTube and you are forever made out to be a freak and held in derision by the public. (Because people in general have never been too understanding.)

     

    You live out your life, rich but due to media coverage -hopelessly alone.

     

    I wish for a bag of cinnamon bears.


  2. although Trust itself is not a technique I only reflect upon my own current journey which made me realize a few things once I had been able to tone down how passionately I feel about some things.

     

    If I reflect myself, rather than confusing the situation with other terminology which seems to only bog down the subject... in the distant past every time I expected something in my mind or tried to prove something scientifically with regards to anything about the subjects we speak about, I found myself getting frustrated or angry.

     

    So eventually I found ways of trying to communicate what I know. The mind tries to find ways to understand things that are experienced so to speak.

     

    So here I suggest there are two different mind sets that people develop.

     

    1. The Machiavellian mindset -(Sorry its a bad name but I cant think of anyone else who so unequivaqually used this concept) Where you try to prepare for absolutely every possible disturbance, problem or task weather it be normal or rare acts-of-god type situations.

     

    2. The Trust mindset - Where one trusts that everything will be alright especially when dealing with the unknown, and that there are some problems that there is no real solution to, so trust prevents fear/hurt/anger complexes that lead to certain delusions. When it comes to real energy work, trust is in the energy work one is doing implicitly. Trust does not apply to real dangers such as true threat of harm situations and the like. Trust is felt rather than thought.

     

    I submit this as a solution to these problems, as chi is more readily felt rather than scientifically quantified.

     

    Thus developing sensitivity should be possibly be more important than quantifying or proving methods which is the opposite of practicing.


  3. hmmm. He might be a valuble member to the board, but did anyone ask Sean about this Seriously?

     

    Ive never met or conversed with the guy; I guess Im just oversensitive to the fact that I dont really own or control this forum.

     

    So, before you take offense, I really don't feel to strongly one way or the other.


  4. When you are hurt, how do you feel?

     

    Do you distrust reality? Do you get angry because things are not going your way?

     

    Is it due to the fact that the mind distrusts anything it cannot control?

     

    Is there a limit to trust? Where certain forms of energy work begin and where it ends with false trust ideas like jumping in front of a bus?

     

    Is trust blind faith or is it something that is felt like the ability to feel chi, or to feel various things?

     

    Does your mind often fight with you telling you you are going nuts? Or have you learned to trust?

     

    Discuss.


  5. Maybe now people will shut up and the pedophile can start to fade into history.

    As for what he did with his life he donated to a lot of charities.

     

    Wouldnt you have a sick feeling in your stomach if you knew you were wrong about him being a pedophile?

     

    Well it is over, I watched it earlier, and doubtless there has to be recordings on the internet....


  6. I was told by an herbalist that fo ti was a little too greasy for me, maybe hard to digest for some?

    Could be. I knew it helped absorb bad cholesterol and helped replenish liver glycogen necessary for body repairs but if the herbalist says so well its good to take his word for it.

     

    Its too bad there isnt a super cure-all meridian clearing formula. I know there are some balancing tea formulas but cant remember them off the top of my head. they are all yin in nature, that is the danger... They are designed for people doing heavy energy work and if you stop and continue taking the tea might result in some bizarre "bi" (chinese bi type symptoms refering to cold or congestion like) like syndrome or something.


  7. That are safe? A straight up answer is no.

     

    Aconite formula is extremely toxic and even a few days of taking it the body develops toxicity to it. DEADLY.

    The great majority of us are weaker than our ancestors... Some of the formulas and strategies booklets written of old say one week for toxicity(toxic symptoms). That is the difference.

     

    Safer would be to take adaptogenic herbs such as Ginseng(If you become extremely red flushed stop taking), Astragalus (If you develop dry coughing fits stop taking). Fo-Ti [polygonum multiflorum] (no known side effects).

     

    Health is a state of balance.


  8. Very good post creation. I enjoyed it.

     

    That is where some of the stuff like eastern magic especially the stuff like chinese elemental magic... being able to feel the patterns of substances differ from the mind dispositions of the majority of magic itself.

     

    I used to converse regularly some years ago with Tomekeeper who wrote "The Library of Magic" webpage where he was trying to streamline most of the stuff into a more freestyle type of direct magic which was more intent on feeling the energies you were working with as a type of feedback response to what you were working with. Plus he also alludes to not using the mind, though a lot of people fell into that trap. That is probably the closest I have seen anyone comming to integrating higher energies into magic.

     

    This seems more in line with getting away from the mind trap of some of the ritualistic thinking, though as a matter of course mankind does need some minor rituals as a type of "cue up" for doing that type of work.

    Kind of like the opening to stillness movement, which is kind of like a "cue up" for the meditation.
