An important point... don't have your feet on the bed facing the door. It's the position for death. I heard a story in the mother land of a girl I know who's grandfather was suppossed to kick the bucket and he was somewhat catatonic. The doctors kept saying he should die soon, but he just wouldn't go (a few weeks this went on.) They brought a guy in who said they needed to turn the bed with his feet facing toward the door so he could die. They did so, and he popped off within 24 hours! Happy days! So, I guess the moral of the story is: Don't put the foot of the bed facing the door, unless you particularly dislike your Mrs/Mr. and you sleep in separate beds. As for plants, I've heard none should be in the bedroom as they feed off your energy while you sleep. I have a plant in my bedroom that I forget to water for weeks on end, it never dies. Like, never. It must be getting something from somewhere. One more thing, there should be a huge flaming phalus in the corner, as this always helps to give a big hint to whatever female might be present. This isn't feng shui, it's just a personal thing.

Finally after all these years you've actually found someone to talk about a subject you actually know about! Happy Chinese year of the 'Drakkar Noir' to you! Tata for now

I remember, a long time ago on here, a certain individual (who's name escapes me) said something along the lines of: 'you can never reach enlightenment until you get control of your sexual energy...'(i.e. he meant stop banging and bashing the bishop) It is in fact true. And all those who say it's not, plainly don't know what they are talking about. I'm not saying you have to be celibate. In fact you can bang away to your hearts content as long as you don't.... well.. you know...expolode It is plainly obvious to me after meditating and having the chi/qi shoot up my back that it's much stronger when i haven't.... er....... enjoyed myself too much... so to speak. So, my advice to you is: 'don't waste your juice'. If you happen to be a female reading this, then don't ask me 'how about me?'. I'm clueless. PS. Someone else is using my lovely spinning ying yang

I'm must first confess, I didn't read any of this thread, but, Kung fu with David Carradine?? Oh do me a favour please! David Carradine couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag! David Carradine and Kung fu is like saying 'Lamborghini and snails'. They are in no way connected at all, apart from the fact that snails might quite like to be! Anyway, don't mind me, nothing personal, I'm slightly drunk. Good will and love to all men, N.M.T.N.M.T

You cheeky bugger....... I go away for a while and someone pilfers my animated yin yang!

There's no need to be vulgar! Right, that does it, I'm making a 'citizens forum banning'! Apech(7), by the power vested in me, I do hereby ban you from further postings on this forum, or any other forum known to man (or woman), so that our fellow man (or woman), can rest in peace without the fear of online tyranny. That'll learn you! ps. At least you didn't mention anything about 'filling up her milkbox', so all is not lost. I'm sure with rehabilitation you will be allowed back online again. Stig has an island? Wait a minute... I thought Mal had the Dr.No island. Mal's much more tech-savvy than Stig; I'm not sure Stig could run an island geared towards world domination by himself. He'd get distracted by pretty girls in grass skirts and flowers and breathing and stuff.

NO! I'M SPARTACUS!!!!..... ...... ...I think I'm on the wrong thread. I couldn't have said it better myself! I remember the days when he was a dustman down Manchester way, it was a really tedious job, yet he did it with gusto! Also there was the time when he was a tedious milkman. None were more tedious than he! The strange thing that always confused me was how satisfied all the single mums were with his service. That I never understood. Did you not know there is no Apech(7), it's Mal in disguise! Mal is somewhere on a remote island pressing shiny buttons connected to satellites...and playing the playstation, intent on world domination....or high scores.

This thread is most unsettling. I think I'm gonna ask for my money back.

Do you mean no it's not, or no it is?

Why is it I feel I've walked into the middle of a conversation and missed all the relevant parts? Is this like one of those test threads that Mal used to post?

:lol: Oh I do hope not!

Fantastic point.

dooble post...

You wouldn't say that if you saw my 'pulling a coin out of your ear' trick magick.

schmucks? 'Class' of being? How divinely elitist of you. I must have missed Non having all these women, wine and party every night. I didn't realize he'd come so far. You've gotta' get dirty before you can get clean as they say (I'm not sure if they do say that, but it does sound like a good excuse to get a bit dirty and roll around in the mud for a bit).

Seems more like he's going for the psychological effect more than actually doing it. I'm just curious, but if you don't believe in magick why did you try and buy a 'more pie' book? You do realize mopai is essentially considered to be 'Chinese black magick' of a sorts don't you? At least by the Chinese it is, don't know about the westerners.

yep, 'once upon a time in the west' is one of my all times favorites too. Great soundtrack. The opening scene is just enthralling. That creaking sound. I suppose we'd better mention 'a fistfull of dollars', 'for a few dollars more' and 'the good the bad and the ugly' just for good measure. Who can forget Lee Van Cleef with the musical watch. Somehow film making back then really had an edge, the spaces between the dialogue was almost more important.

There's never a dull moment with you is there! Any signs of anything untoward? (apart from grim reapers and obituaries I mean)

Snatch is good, a few too many characters, but that's why it's so watchable again and again. I found it better the second time round. The first time was being pleasurably amazed by all the film techniques Guy Ritchie had used from so many other classic films. Actually I should say another film I loved: 'Once Upon A Time In America'. Not a thriller, but a great story none the less. Touching and sad...especially in the end. About 4 hours long if I remember rightly. I know this is gonna sound bad.... but I still cry at titanic! haha

Goodfellas - Revenge/anger The usual suspects - One of the best psychological thrillers of all time, in my opinion at least. Identity - Great underrated thriller Hana-bi - Takeshi Kitano, A stark contrast of touching sentiment and stark violence. A man who decides to treat his wife well in the last months of her life after treating her like dirt for most of it. Really moving film.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hana-bi Apocalypto - Amazing film in all ways possible www.imdb.com/title/tt0472043/ Revolver - Thriller. Underrated. Very good. The name of the Rose - Thriller. Set in medieval times. Connery

To the best of my knowledge, one of the first people in the western world to bring what is now known as 'creative visualisation' was a man called Richard Ingalese. I used to own that book many years ago. He was followed by an occultist called Ophiel, who was in fact the publisher Samuel Weiser. His book was called 'The art and practice of creative visualisation. Kick on 10 years or so and then you got Stuart Wilde who really brought it out into the open; Shakti Gawain had a nice litlle beginner type book also.... after that it all went wide. In truth Richard Ingalese simply simplified western 'low-magick' (and by low I don't mean lesser)into simple points: concentration, visualization and, perhaps the most important of all 'desire'. It was, and is, remarkably effective if you know what you are doing, especially as you need no ritual or funny words or scented candles pointing North. It is entirely possible to manifest/draw to you certain circumstances through the use of these techniques, and I don't mean a general call for 'wealth' or 'love' or something. I mean actual specific amounts of money or situations. In general most people born in western astrology under a fire sign such as Aries, Leo or Sagittarius would have an in-born talent for it, due to their make-up being very desire/expansive based. Scorpio's can be insanely powerful if they can get their sh*t together, because of the depth of their feelings compared to normal individuals (take on a Scorpios mind for even just a minute and you'll know what I mean). Other factors, of course, are dependent on other planetary positions and environment. Environment is a big factor because this is where the subconscious is programmed to either be able to receive or not receive. the Subconscious works like a hard drive, but in this case the software that has already been programmed into the hard drive prevents certain things being able to be viewed online (experienced in everyday life). This then leads to the desire. The desire is a sure sign of faulty programming. Low magick/creative visualisation/affirmations are a way to re-programme the subconscious so it is able to receive the experiences the ego desires. The inner light can (or whatever you would like to call it) only act as water filling a container, the programming creates the form of the container. To make your container (the subconscious) change shape in order to receive/experience the things you desire you must, therefore, change the programming. The affirmation methods' weakness is that first you must identify the weakness. It's actually easy to do, you just have to recognize what you lack; this is the 'general' method people so often criticize. Exact form creative visualization/low-magick for specifics is something quite different. With enough desire and concentration (not the gritting of teeth variety) it can create exactly the form desired down to detail. Regardless of kidneys, karma or your grandmother, if it's done right it achieves results. If it doesn't you need to get re-programming of your subconscious; I will say though, if done correctly over a period of time the visualization/desire will overcome the negative programming in it's own way (it'll bring about circumstances that create a new congruent programming so what you desire can manifest). If it doesn't work, that means that dare I say, thousands of years of western esoteric tradition based on those exact principles (and others of the 'higher' variety) are a pile of crap. And that, just ain't gonna' happen. More likely you ain't got the fire (too much T.V). Play with your chi all you like, it's a good thing, but don't discount what is essentially borne of thousands of years of western esoteric tradition, proven to each individual themselves.

Hi Twinner, I can assure you I would never get upset if someone insinuated, or outright said Japanese people were sexual deviants. There does seem to be a lot of short term memory loss in this forum. And just so you know Twinner, I don't consider Jesus having normal human emotions to be ridiculing him, nor if he gets a Twitter account either. Personally I think Jesus is alright, I have nothing against him whatsoever. The religion... well now that's another thing. But I wasn't focusing on the religion. I think Jesus has a right to buy potatoes, and I will fight for his right to buy potatoes.... or any other product. I wasn't ridiculing Jesus as far as I know... no more so at least as I would ridicule a friend (lightly). Sorry you felt that way.

I'd like to add to that: You know you've been in China too long when ... you read an entire list of 301 points on 'you know you've been in China too long when...' and not only agree with them (and still find the ones that were repeated several times funny, again, 1 minute later) but also find yourself wishing to add to them. Who wrote that Little1, where did that come from?

Two suns in China??? Where? I think I would have noticed that. Do mean really two suns or do you mean 'Sun' as in the Chinese surname? I also wanna see that youtube video.

Because no one else in the house ate them and it was Christmas eve. I also saw mummy doing unspeakable things with Santa Claus (I forgave him when I received my presents). He also left a sock! How could you possibly know he left a name tag on them!!! You mean to say.....are you...no....could it be.......you mean YOU are Santa Claus! Now, now, there's no need to enigmatic. It's already been established beyond any reasonable doubt that you, in fact, are Santa Claus. And by the way, I have a bone to pick with you: Christmas 1982, I asked for an Star Wars At-At, and you gave me a Wampa! All the other kids at school got an At-At, imagine my shame! I mean it's not even close is it!
