Great, thanks Jeff! I really felt it was a negative thing, but the way you explain it, makes a lot of sense as well,, many thanks! Edward

Noticed awareness suddenly shifted outwards, and became much more aware of surroundings whilst walking in a park about an hour or so ago... doesn't usually happen.. the barrier between inner and outer is more permeable now, it feels like..

True haha, although, maybe he had a past link with them, and his inner self prompted him to stick his head down a rabbit hole... How far is Shropshire from London? i'll meet you there Rex!

This might be of interest, it doesn't mention Taoism, but still, i think all of you will find it worthwhile reading: http://www.adishakti.org/forum/history_of_isha_messiah_jesus_the_christ_12-13-2006.htm Peace

Anyone able to provide examples please? how to tell friendly from enemy? Thanks, Edward

Hanez, I have experience, almost the same as your's, happened 15 years ago, i'm pretty much alright now. The main thing i will say is this: DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE FEAR!! you mentioned that the whole story will end badly in a month and a half... do not believe this!! please! you are a strong being within and have power over your own actions and these choices will help determine your destiny, do not let anything direct your belief to a bad one, don't believe in these things that you have seen! Nothing is set in stone, please remember that! Remember your fears are not real, any thought, emotion or feeling is only as real as YOU allow it be! Hope you feel better soon Edward

Thanks for the reminder Gerard! Reality is not letting me get away with my usual nonsense at the moment, change is making its presence felt! Thanks again to all who have contributed over the past few days, peace to you all Edward

Hi All, Anyone know if there are phases of the meditation process that result in the impaired ability to focus during meditation or other activities? I've had this for the past 2 years. What happens is the sense of peace within, which is not often lack of thought based, but more an energy of peace, it overwhelms ability to focus and is easy to get lost within the feeling. Actually couple years back i was up a ladder doing some garden work, and it was happening then, i wanted to and felt i might surrender to the peace, and fall of the ladder! Thankfully i didn't do it! I don't know if this is a phase that is common, or i just need to wake up a bit and pay attention more! What is strange is that, a lot of the past couple of years, ive had a seriously bad lifestyle not conducive to cultivating energy at all...bad habit s etc Now, the above sentence may be the answer haha and also a tub just rolled across the table and stopped when it hit my arm-it has the words Will and Power written on it haha I'll post this anyway, incase anyone has any cool input, and incase anyone else needs to read it. Peace Edward

Spotless, you are right about getting lost in it, i never thought to take my awareness off the mind and into the peace before.. having done so now everything seems much better, out of the mind and into the peace... it was fear stopping me from doing it before.. also being all the more calmer for it, getting on with things suddenly seems much easier Thanks again! Edward

Thanks! i'll take that advice, resistance to anything is a trap along the path, i keep falling into! you mention trance states.. would you say automatic behaviours that you aren't fully aware of and have trouble stopping are under the trance state banner? ive walked around my room in circles since i was a very young child, i dont realise i'm doing it a lot of the time, its semi unconscious behaviour.. also happens to be when i have the most realisations.. Thanks, Edward

Thanks Spotless! That's exactly how i feel, with the alzheimers and extended brain fog. I keep buying bottle of water for instance, drinking from it, then forgetting i had just done so, and contemplating whether to take it back to the shop or not haha. But it honestly feels like the peace energy is not coming from me... i feel like a fraud, thats why i wrote the spirit presence topic, because ive wondered if its a spirit projecting energy at me. That is also probably why i haven't felt comfortable getting lost in it, because i thought it wasn't mine. There's gotta be a way, i'm in my late thirties now and dont have a proper income or place of my own, so finding the balance is gonna be challenging between being peaceful and focusing to be able to survive. Spotless, Kar3n, or anyone else, did you ever find that a heart opening caused problems? i thought i was having heart failure, because of heart failure symptoms, that always coincided with the energy, and especially at the hands, it runs down my arms and out my hands.. but the ecg found nothing wrong with my heart the other day... i'm amazed! it makes no sense! Thanks again! Edward

Thanks Kar3n, That's reassuring to hear! Thanks for giving an idea of your own simialr experieces.. Thanks again! Edward

Thanks! i'm i a brightly lit room, so perhaps my own mind! but i do feel energy flowing downwards over me, i assumed it was a spirit hovering over me.. Thanks again, gotta make a move now.. cheers

dont want to say to much, but may well have had trouble with shadow beings in the past... not nice, my cat at the time used to sleep on my bed, and she would sense what i was sensing, and she looked very very scared! wasn't a good time.. right now, this feels very different, even positive compared to back then..

Thanks! cultivating positive emotions is something ive definitely got to work on more.. thanks!

Thanks

energy moves im familiar with, it starts the body moving as well and feels cold at same time... i usually get cool/cold chest and expansion .. right now its suddenly become very warm, my chest that is.. head ache as well now

I'm not sure, but probably... feeling cold and shivers, and an energy i described in the other thread as a peaceful energy, but i get tired and want to sleep as well as being unable to focus.

sorry suddenly got feeling shouldn't have posted.. feel free to delete entire thread/topic.. cheers and sorry!

Nice topic!

I dont give up my principles for no one, ok?! ya big dummy!!!

Vajra Fist, i'd be interested in hearing your medical clairvoyants view on Bee Pollen, if possible? it's pollen collected by bees and is said that when the bees come back to the hive after collecting, they have a negative electrical charge. They also add their own ingredients to it, some unknown when they process it-they, being the bees! In fact there is a whole shamanic tradition centred around the bees in Europe, Bee Shamanism, and they use bee pollen and other hive products, including the stings to influence shamanic alchemy. Originally acupuncture was done with bee stings.... makes you think... about the origins, remember those ancient tall blonde haired people from the west buried in China??? Cheers

Hey, sorry to be a party pooper, but D-Aspartic Acid is NOT a good thing to supplement with. It's used mainly by body builders to temporarily boost testosterone via directly influencing the pituritary gland function (yes i can't spell the glands name properly haha). It then has a rapid down regulation effect, within a week or so, which means it is throwing your system out of balance very very quickly. Not only that, but when you come off your 'cycle', you will notice this down regulation effect as bad bad bad depression and extreme fog. When you are under its influence before it has down regulated you will feel clear headed and lots of clarity, but, like so many of these things, what it gives you, it then takes away from you, plus more! My advice, stay away from this synthetic amino acid. If an amino acid has D in front of it, it's man made by the way... On the more positive front, Ashwaghanda indian herb has been shown to naturally do the same thing without much down regulation. However, anything that alters your system, will have a destabilisation effect at some point, because it's influencing your system, and your system has a natural in built whats going on here lets balance things out function. A lot of these things work by increasing or decreasing essential co-factors, minute little molecules that influence another factor that influences another until it has the effect on the major molecule such as testosterone. With these changes comes change in every other system of the human organism. That's why finding a good herbalist is a very good idea..
