Then he must really have had a bad teacher. He said he's got certificates of all levels - "master"? How can he then say it's not possible?! Somehow I feel sorry for him (provided he's sincere) because he says he can't practice Reiki a lot because his job stresses him out so much. That's when I told him to focus his Chi more on himself to build a more solid basis for his Reiki. And that was when he said it's not possible, only channeling through.

Hm OK, sounds like I have to find motivation for some kind of eye-specialized practice. I already bought a pretty thick book some months ago (Relearning To See) but couldn't find the drive to read it and practice. (Then again... if Kunlun is supposed to 'automatically' fix everything with time...) A sudden improvement is psychological, I think. MAYBE the eyes ARE elongated by the surrounding muscles but the muscles are under permanent tension. When concentrating on focusing on text far away, under good lighting conditions, I sometimes manage to see perfectly clear, but after a second or so I have to blink because my eyes begin to water Niagara-style and I can't keep them open. Then there are the stories about very fast micro-movements in the eyes. About astronauts in space who, in zero-gravity, could see ships on oceans and trucks on roads in Australia. Maybe it's that in combination with serious computing in the brain's visual center.

This is in no way meant to cause negative vibes. It's just a neutral examination by a passionate thinker (with added sarcasm ). As you might know (I hope I'm still correct), Chris is in the advertising business, so not really evil, but a little demon. Seriously, the Kunlun book (fully colored) costs $29.95 and this is a psychological trick to make it appear cheaper. This trick is done by virtually everybody, so it has lost a big portion of its intended effect. It has become a habit that people don't think about, but that doesn't change its insincere nature. I've even had people doing that when bargaining with about used car parts in a forum. Especially in this case, the Kunlun book, who really thinks they would sell even one book less if it cost $30? There are some people (well, as far as I know the whole of the Netherlands) who make nice rounded prices, but guess what ... they do it because a business study has shown that it saves money by avoiding employees having to handle all the change. Isn't it sad/weird/funny how there's still so much crappy influence of society even in people on their path of enlightenment? But you can find these things a lot. There are even 'fully enlightened' people who are in some matters totally naive. My general conclusion derived from my experiences: spirituality and intellectuality are two sides of a coin. They work very well together! P.S.: If you feel negative about this post of mine, please re-read the first paragraph. I'm just growing weary of writing disclaimers. P.P.S.: If you don't feel negative yet, try if you can handle this: quoting the late comedian Bill Hicks on marketeers: "You are satan's spawn, filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself! It's the only way to save your soul. ... Kill yourself!" I really like his eloquence! P.P.P.S.: If you feel indignant about me writing out the word "fucking", I have an analysis for that, too. But maybe you already know what I would write then.

I guess it's because Lulu does "print-on-demand"; These things are of course more expensive than batch production. I think it's a great idea for minimizing financial risks for people on a tight budget... like Max. But in Japan his book (in a different look) seems to be available on Amazon, so there should be other means becoming available with time, I hope. ---------------- A propos book... What do the chinese characters on/in the book mean? I figured out that the ones on the cover are wood, fire, earth, metal, water. The one on the first page and the one (or combination of two?) on the back I couldn't find.

Yeah, I didn't have the slightest problem with the costs either. I just noticed that I paid the new price, so the back of the book still carries the old price. Didn't get that before because I paid it in EUR. There are by the way a lot of things with the book that could be 'corrected', but it might be just the old problem of a lack of time. The whole thing seems a bit (pardon me) half-assed, and that's what seems to have put off some people, but you just have to accept that that's the nature of the thing. It could be different, yes, but the core, the important part, is delivered. It's quite likely that if Chris had a whole lot of time for all this and nothing else to do, it would look a lot different. BTW Cameron... Kunlun drove you nuts and now you try to do the same to others with your avatar picture?

I wanted to add a small anecdote about the book: Sometimes I'm a perfectionist, and in the past it annoyed me when I got a book with flaws, so I thought, great, the Kunlun book will be coming fresh from the print right to my home. I got the book in its cardboard shipping envelope, unpacked it. The book itself was - just in case - carefully wrapped in dense foam plastic like it's some piece of art. ... And then I noticed that there are several scratches on the cover!! And you know what I thought? ... Hilarious! (Edit: Moreover I just noticed that they were no scratches, but traces of glue or something. But they really looked and felt like scratches.) AND... the book really is in full color! It's literally full of color! There are some smears of blue on several text pages. And you know what that means? ... It's very likely that my copy of the book is truly unique!

A graded tax on books/goods depending on their price? I didn't know something like that exists.(I'm no friend of taxes, you know. ) @sean I could imagine a dialogue like this between Hicks and a marketeer: "Quit puttin' a goddamn dollar sign on every fuckin' thing on this planet!" - You know what? You're right! Thanks! Great idea! From now on we'll print all prices without dollar signs! Big market for the anti-monetary dollar! By the way ... they might really do it. But then you'd have to get used to the...

Sean, the "accurate price"-strategy (whether sincere or as a trick) is a different one. It applies to very uneven prices, excluding the '9ers'. I would say $24,700 for a car is a sincere price in this regard, and even more uneven prices can be considered as precisely calculated. It's not that bad with car prices, although the 'Plague of the Nine' sometimes infests this sector, too. My approach would be to make more or less rounded prices and educate the consumer about marketing strategy.

@Desert Eagle People who write things like "f**k" want to curse AND be politically correct, and that's ... no, not BS, that's bullshit. Everybody knows what those words with the stars mean. The whole bleeping thing is totally ridiculous ... and thus fits well to our totally ridiculous society. And if you just want to sound nice, you don't use 'words with stars' at all. @vortex It complicates everything and the few cents won't benefit you at all, because in the end a trader makes a mixed calculation. It's like with rebate before price fixing: When the customer should get 3% rebate, 3% will be added to the originally intended price and then gratuitously subtracted on the bill. People are so much a slave to this habit that in an ebay auction they will bid 19.95 and I win by bidding 20.01! If someone were to make rounded prices and I knew that it was his own idea with sincerity in mind, THAT would make me buy products. The more the economy goes down (has actually been for a long time now), the more I abstain from consuming, because the insincerity and egoism behind it causes a lot of annoyance.

Ah OK, so the DOR source is not an influence, but a state. Then it could be compared to our quest for enlightenment, because in some way, every bit of ego can suppress the pure nature. That would mean that there will always be new DOR generated by all beings that use their ego to resist against adversities. Considering this principle and the effects of the orgonite as a remedy, could it be that DOR is yang chi and POR is yin chi? The possible flaw of this thesis that yang chi is not deadly could be explained by saying that it is, because it's the yang chi of others directed against their environment. And thus orgonite would eventually not dissolve the ego, but balance out yin and yang in affected beings. Does this make sense? By the way... Your idea with the blue glowing crystal in the pyramid is totally amazing!

Another thing: What exactly causes DOR? From my current understanding, having read about the 'automatic' balancing and life-supporting effect or orgonite, I suppose it is caused by suffering, by organisms under hardships and/or things that cause this. My concrete thought was: Wouldn't orgonite totally kick ass in a hospital?! I guess that would depend on whether DOR comes from... - hatred/violence - pain - sorrow/sadness. It can't ONLY be SOURCES of harm, because in a desert, there's heat and sand and that's it.

It seems to be a state of mind that 'comes and goes' with meditation, because this afternoon the effect was significantly weaker.

Is there any information about the field characteristics of orgonite? I mean things like this for example: How do nearby (low-efficiency) Tower Busters affect the operating efficiency of a Holy Handgrenade? And: When there is (almost) no DOR, how much will it affect their efficiency? Do they just concentrate POR from the surrounding area (which would 'steal' it there and would make operating orgonite in a purely-POR-area pointless), or do they also generate it out of 'the vacuum'? EDIT1: I did an internet search to see if there are some orgonuts who built a HUGE orgonite device, but I couldn't find anything. Have you heard of such crazy projects? I wonder what would happen if you made a 1 meter sized HHG with finest materials and copper pipes sticking out in all directions and then place it in a war zone ... or a big city center (well... that's basically the same). You could call it holy nuke or something. ... Reminds me of Zeitgeist Addendum ... Now THAT'S a weapon of mass creation! EDIT2: How about 'accidental' orgonite or orgone collectors? Where might they occur and are their influences noticeable? I got this thought after my father showed me an electric motor embedded in resin. Metal in resin... This would be a - very ineffective - orgone collector. EDIT3: Funny how things always repeat. Look at this: http://www.orgonelab.org/orgonenonsense.htm To some orgone is still quackery, while there's this institute where academics debunk those who are no academics and their 'distortion of science'. The tone of the articles there says all. The keepers of the true, original teachings of Reich. They have a list of recommended, credible links there, among them a link to an online shop where they even sell orgone clothing like vests. Now isn't it undisputed that Reich's original design had to be operated in an environment with low DOR because his chamber collected POR AND DOR? Thus it would be a bad idea to walk around freely with an orgone accumulating vest. I think it's the same old game. They have invested a lot of time in their Ph.D.'s and fear being obsolete due to clever free-thinkingminds. They pick out negative examples to draw a very biased picture for the layman. I don't say everything they say is wrong, but the general direction is clear.

My cold didn't go away yet. Intestines rumbling and bloating I experienced, too. I think it's because the bowels are now supercharged and really start to get the job done. I have to deal with one of that type. I can't say whether he's playing a role and still is a twisted hypocritical crook or whether he really believes in what he says. I usually call those people FUBAR. (meaning that I currently can not imagine being strong enough to change his mind) Are those of you who talk about getting help after attending a seminar aware of the Kunlun forum where you get access when you went to a seminar? I don't know what's going on there yet, but maybe people get really good help there. By the way... I think that's why some 'advanced' people aren't quite active here anymore. They're over there at the Kunlun forum. No? @winpro07 I'm a bit sad that I missed your posts here and still have no clue why you delete most of them later. Is it some energy feedback thing? Or more trivial?

After 8 days of practicing Kunlun I have now experienced something where I think I need advice. I will just summarize the practice up to this point as "no bliss yet, but feeling energy". I was bending over again, back arched, head over my right hand and sensing forces in my forehead, especially on the left side (but less focused on the left side this time). Because of the posture my body was aching at several places, so I wanted to straighten up, but in a natural way, and I accomplished that by deep breathing instead of the very relaxed, shallow kind. Also I smiled more and warmly. Now it was a bit like my spine straightened up by a broomstick and in it I felt a low amplitude but high frequency energy bubbling kind of buzz/tingle. It was like a turbocharger had kicked in. But this was also accompanied by a significantly accelerated heartheat. I kept the deep breathing and my heartbeat further accelerated to maybe around 180, and even for me that was a bit too much. My eyes got the urge to open. I eventually let them open and began to close down. Unlike before, my hands were sweaty. Now I felt a high amplitude, low frequency trembling in the legs and lower dan tien area for quite some time. For some reason I began to experiment. With my eyes open I tried to kinda retreat to a point inside my head and look out from there. Beginning from the center, my view began to be consumed by a grey haze (might have been just an effect of eyes open for too long and/or attention unfocusing). I cancelled this because my heartbeat was increasing again. After that, during normal closing down, my heartheat was at normal pace, but powerful. This kind of heartbeat acceleration I only experienced once before, several years ago. I don't know whether it was during a stillness meditation attempt or maybe in bed while trying to attain a half-awake-half-asleep-state. Does the accelerated heartheat maybe have to do with fear of the ego to unattach, to let go?

Things worked well last night. I might be over-interpreting, but funny how the principle that Kunlun is different and adapted for every person worked with my nature. I think I was able to combine the energy flow with the 'option' to think, to talk to myself in my mind and give myself direction or motivate me. Because that's what I did. What really helped was healthy breathing ... and smiling, which came natural due to a mnemonic hook I use and also due to occasional positive insights that came from my active philosophizing during the practice. You know how it feels in your arm when you touch 100 Volts (minus the pain)? This strong tingling buzz? That (in a lower magnitude) was how it felt along my center channel and/or spine, combined with a kind of pingpong effect in a normal heartbeat frequency. This started when the legs stopped jumping, and I kind of shifted gears twice after I got used to the strength. When that happened, the legs again started jumping, it felt more powerful, and after a while again, I got used to it. Closing down was mostly unspectacular. Felt a little heat at the lower dan tien. I did this session from 3 to 4 am, was wide awake, went to bed, fell asleep roughly at 5 am, woke up without alarm clock at 9 am refreshed. Had a pretty long dream that didn't have a clear message and was kinda weird ... like dreams often are. This was the first time that it was restorative and invigorating... and during the practice it actually felt entertaining/nice.

I've often read that the crystalline structure is important. I'm no mineralogist, but maybe even when you grind a crystal to powder it has a special molecular structure different from quarz sand. Then again ... maybe quarz sand is just former crystals ground to sand by earch's forces (and sometimes brought to a round shape by water flow).

Now I've ordered a Holy Hand-Grenade (The inventor must be a Monty Python fan ) and some other orgonite items. Either their high efficiency will make me forget my plans about DIY or it will give me the drive to try it out nevertheless. ... It still would be an interesting experiment ... mixing about a dozen amethyst shards with stainless steel wool. Will be interesting in connection to my Kunlun practice. Maybe it'll give it a kickstart. ... I hope it won't compete for raw energy. BTW... can you estimate what the interaction would be between orgonite and an air-ionizer? It creates electric arcs to clean the air by catching electrically positively charged particles and organisms out of the air.

I'm planning to make one myself to see what it does. I happen to have a stone with amethyst cover. It should of course be most efficient, so I'd be glad if you could help me in this: - I'm no chemist and don't know what I can get in the hardware store, so which filler materials are organic and which not, and are there some that work better than others? Is "resin" only the stuff made from natural material or are artificial materials good, too? Which polymers are organic? What doesn't smell or is unhealthy but is cheap? What does "catalyzed fiberlgass resin" mean? Mixed with hardener? - I read about crystal powder here ... but isn't the molecular structure important so that the crystals shouldn't be too small? - Should the crystal be in the center, completely surrounded, or is that not important? - Might silver and gold work so good because they're noble metals? I could see if I find that copper foamy stuff from the video, or as an alternative, I think I have that stuff made of stainless steel lying around somewhere. - Is the shape really that important? When I see the energy photos it seems to be a detail only. I'm thinking of using an empty cup, a cylindric form. - Any experience with the mass ratio of metal vs. crystal? Thanks!

How do I recognize it? I'm not sure when the process is running, so to speak. Last time it was totally unspectacular. The only new thing was that my hands weren't held in place by energy, so I could freely move them. But nothing to do with them, so I suppose I just build the energy up and then bring it down to the lower dan tien during closing down. I'm wondering whether I need a certain level of energy charge first before it can do anything significant in my body. Another thing I was able to identify is that smiling prevents me going even deeper in mind-stillness. If I could forget the smiling, 'surrender' would come easier. Also I'm not sure how to smile correctly. It should be inner and outer, OK, but it contributes to confusion that the photos in the book show Max not smiling at all.

Interesting matter! I did a quick internet research and considering how easy it is to make orgonite, there are noticeably little detailed infos about what works especially well or whether any special contact pattern between the materials is necessary or whether you can mix all kinds of crystals and just randomly mix them in between the metal. And is the resin supposed to be organic or the crystal? What can be used and what not? (I'll do what I always do, though ... read more. ) I immediately thought about what would be the cheapest and most efficient orgonite? Shredded aluminum foil sounds good, but hard to get spaces in between, I would think. But well... maybe you could use every kind of metal junk ... screws, nails, washers...

Well, when something aches and I move it, I can really feel the energy holding it in place. When my right shoulder aches, I try to let go and smile more and when I'm successful, the pain will vanish. Also, more than one time the right hand would eventually change angle and wander down, one time even making a certain finger connection to the left hand that had settled on the lap. But it's also a great advice from joeblast to just keep the elbows narrow. I still have to remind me that these details are not so important. Now I' ll have to see how it continues. I don't know whether the center channel did open (or whatever then happens), but as long as my hand posture doesn't dissolve by itself, I will keep it. My practice has been mostly unspectacular so far. I think I have to do more practice on the stillness. Every now and then a thought occurs, and I got the feeling that there's a difference between the mere discipline to not think of anything and real stillness of mind. Maybe it's the sensual perception of the outer world that's still interfering too much.

Hm OK, so it was good to stop the heart-pounding. ... Well, who'd have thought it: Doing what feels natural/good. The same advice for everything Kunlun. I began focusing on deep breathing some days ago and will focus more on it, and also during practice. By the way... I close down until all energy feels 'down there', but the next day (right now, too) it feels like the energy of my heartbeat is distributed to my entire chest. I has become difficult to feel my heartbeat right at the heart because it blends in with the faint energetic trembling of my upper body.

I don't know how many of you have seen this film. (I strongly recommend it.) But to those who did: What do you think; Is the ending just clever visual psychology, or is something more going on there? 'Cause when the colored part comes, it causes me tears of joy. It is so powerful!
