Trying to acquire power for it's own sake is juvenile. People who seek the power to control others, seem the most drawn to siddhi development, they would be better off buying guns and learning how to use them well, and or becoming politicians, policemen or high ranking military officials. I believe there are two main types of power, power over yourself (self mastery) and power to control and manipulate others. Your motivation for wanting the power to begin with is the most important thing here. I believe everyone has the potential to awaken to a higher level of consciousness, and ever since I was a child I've been obsessed with it. I want to become something more than this hunk of rotting flesh, I want to transcend this, to evolve. Siddhis (that would pass Randi's test) mark your level of true spiritual development, and or your teacher's level of development. People who think they have reached a higher level of consciousness but cannot display any real siddhis are either mentally ill, or delusional peaced out hippies.

Wanting power for it's own sake is juvenile and pointless, if you want power go buy a gun or run for public office. I doesn't make sense to spend 30 years of your life 10 hours each day in training to accomplish a few parlor tricks. For me at least my obsession with men who go beyond the norm is my desire to reach a higher level of consciousness, to become something more than what I am. Einstein, Tesla, John Chang, Wim Hof, Wang Liping, among others. I believe these men really tapped into more of their potential than most could ever hope to. Powers aren't the end goal, they are merely results of correct training, mile markers along the path. People who think they reached another level, yet have no abilities are purely insane. The market is flooded with frauds and lunatics all waiting to teach you the secrets of the universe for only $29.99 plus shipping and handling. Masters like Chang who do not charge anything for teaching or healing, don't want fame or recognition and are willing to put themselves under the microscope are rare indeed. For me its more about a total dissatisfaction with my current situation, I am a walking talking sack of hamburger, rotting more by the day. Pretty soon my short life will be over and I will be dead as will we all be one day. If the theists are right then an afterlife awaits, if the atheists are right then game over, either of those scenario's I am totally fine with. It's the whole reincarnation bit I have an issue with, I do not want my memories and consciousness erased only to start over as something or someone else. That's why I am interested in real masters like Chang, supposedly they reach escape velocity at some point from the death/rebirth cycle. "How long has your guru been teaching?" "Well, uh, over thirty years." "And how many of his students have achieved enlightenment?" "Well, uh..." "That you know of personally?" "Well, uh, I never..." "That you've heard of?" "It's not" "That there were rumors of?" "I don't think..." "What is it they're doing, Martin? The recipe for enlightenment they're promoting - what is it?" "Uh, well, meditation and knowledge, basically." "And in thirty years they've never held someone up and said, 'Look at this guy! He's enlightened and we got him there!' In thirty years, they don't have one? Don't you think they should have, like, an entire army of enlightened guys to show off by now?" "Well, it's not..." "After thirty years they should have a few dozen generations of enlightened people. Even with only a quarter of them becoming teachers, they should have flooded the world by now, mathematically speaking, don't you think? I'm not asking all this as a teacher myself, mind you. I'm just asking as a consumer, or a consumer's advocate. Don't you think it's reasonable to ask to know a teacher's success rate? The proof is in the pudding, right? Didn't you ask them about the fruit of their teachings when you started with them?" "Well, that's not..." "Don't you think it's reasonable to ask? They're in the enlightenment business, aren't they? Or did I misunderstand you? Do they have something else going?" "Nooo, but they..." "If Consumer Reports magazine did a report on which spiritual organizations delivered as promised, don't you suppose that the first statistic listed under each organization would be success rating? Like, here are a hundred randomly selected people who started with the organization five years ago and here's where they are today. For instance, thirty-one have moved up in the organization, twenty-seven have moved on, thirty-nine are still with it but not deeply committed and three have entered abiding non-dual awareness. Okay, three percent - that's a number you can compare. But this organization of yours would have big fat goose egg, wouldn't they? And not just out of a hundred, but out of hundreds of thousands - millions, probably. Am I wrong? - Jed McKenna - 'Spiritual Enlightenment:The Damnedest Thing'

the Pimsleur course is the best on the market, it's over 100 cd's long you could download it and put it on an mp3 player.

Enoch, You can download linux mint www.linuxmint.com and make a bootable cd, then use that to recover your data to a usb flash drive or an external hard drive. Then format the main computer after all data is backed up and reinstall your os, when you get it running again avira free edition is the best free virus scan.

http://www.psyleron.com/reg1_lite.aspx http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/index.html Princeton is using random event generators (like coin flips but thousands of time a second) to to show that statistically we can influence the probability of random events. It's very fascinating stuff. Has anyone here considered one of these units as a training feedback mechanism?

Do you have any information this you can share, a link would be nice.

the random event generator is like flipping a coin thousands of times each second, the baseline graph is displayed it seems conscious observers have an actual effect over the baseline probability.

Ah yes I remember them discussing that I need to go over my notes

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=...?v=719218268763 some interesting video on the subject. My interest in this device is one of training via a feedback mechanism during my training.

I speculate this form is used during meditation to fill the middle dan tein with energy before opening it.

http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showto...hl=mopaistudent Read this thread, Also a master you may want to seek out is wang liping in china of the longmen pai or dragon gate school. Also chunyi lin of spring forest has a very good beginner course in qigong called spring forest qigong, highly recommended.

Before sleep each night I apologize for all my wrong doings, and ask any being capable to please help me avoid reincarnation, usually I get sharp palpable shocks throughout my body during the process. I believe its linked to emotions such as deep and sincere sadness/grief.

humble, Do you think you could provide the community with more photos of yourself verification of age etc, if you are truly 45 and look like that now that is truly amazing.

guys you can buy level 1,2, and 3 manuals from his site, springforestqigong.com and they are cheap, they contain pretty much everything in the video's and cd's, but are less immersive. I think spring forest qigong is probably the most effective and highest quality qigong course in circulation.

http://www.neurosky.com/ Thought you guys might like a heads up, units are now shipping. Edit: The idea is to use the brainwave monitor software to learn to control your own brainwaves and guide them into a state of deep meditation that resembles that of monks that took many years to achieve the same results. Not to play games

learn to breath abdominaly, learn to focus and still your mind, learn to go into what chunyi lin of spring forest calls the emptiness, the void, the abyss.

There is absolutely no need of marijuana, if you learn how to go deep enough into the emptiness the abyss or void, and how to breath slowly abdominally you will feel more pleasure than you've experienced via pot or sex. I recommend reading chunyi lin of spring forest qigong material, there is also a book called the tao of meditation which is worth purchasing. centerpointe level one can help you drown out your thoughts if you still need training wheels.
