Interesting stuff, what do you mean by symbolic-psychological interpretation versus what other way? It sounds like the way they read it is good ideal to strive for. Could you elaborate? My 2 cents, Peace

Bagua and Konchog thanks for these posts. I found them very useful. Especially the part about seeing with mind and spirit. Also Bagua i might just go to the beach. Thanks for sharing. My 2 cents, Peace

A good film. The amount of responsibility that rinpoches take on is pretty overwhelming. The ending was quite funny. My 2 cents, Peace

I was also quite influenced by the verses of the 3rd patriarch of Zen. To this day I still try and life by this poem: http://www.age-of-the-sage.org/buddhism/third_patriarch_zen.html My 2 cents, Peace

Who's saying there good or bad?

Path Notes by Glenn Morris was my Catcher In the Rye My 2 cents, Peace

Sounds like you already know what your problems are as well as the solutions, yes qi gong will bring deeper clarity and inner peace into your life if you practice it daily. I just have one tip for you: 1. Stop whacking off (it will give you more energy and motivation to pursue your interests) My 2 cents, Peace

Enjoying life is important. Food is part of life. Everything in moderation. My 2 cents, Peace

I found it interesting about how he talks about the person with the gold aura and how they never really utilized their potential. Thanks for sharing. My 2 cents, Peace

Thanks for the clarification DK.

Hm.....the exact same method is in Path Notes by Glenn Morris My 2 cents, Peace

Thanks for the insights DK. I don't do astral projection, but using cards as doorways was something I intuitively came to when practicing visionary work/trance. It's cool to have someone confirm it. Could you elaborate on the non-magical uses, I don't really feel like I understand the distinction? Magic in my understanding is simply action powered by focused "intention". My 2 cents, Peace

Yeah, I don't think the soul mirror should be done once and then is finished with. Personal refinement is something that is never finished. However, doing it with the Tarot can at-least make it a bit less tedious. My 2 cents, Peace

I know it can be hard, but muster the ability within yourself to say a positive prayer for the people that you hate. This will dissolve the negative thought patterns. My 2 cents, Peace

I don't think looking into ones past lives is often very useful, it can be very intangeling and like Seeker said its probably something that you should probably let unfold naturally. IMO it is wiser to focus on ones present life that we are creating as we speak, rather than focusing on the past in order to give our ego a few giggles. However, that being said, it's up to you in how you approach these things. In Tranceportation, the author gives a simple technique for looking into ones past lives. http://www.amazon.com/Trance-portation-Learning-Navigate-Inner-World/dp/1578634059/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1366557967&sr=1-1&keywords=tranceportation My 2 cents, Peace

Falling asleep during meditation is common. Just takes practice to maintain ones awareness. Also there needs to be balance in everything....being too grounded can make us lethargic and immovable. Doing Hatha Yoga has been always been very grounding for me, as well as martial arts...anything that puts your firmly in your body and brings you back to your center. Best of luck. My 2 cents, Peace

Being seeing a lot of syncronicities with my work with the Tarot lately. It seems that because it is a system of symbols and correspondences, when you draw card for your negative soul traits/qualities.....it not only gives the problem....but also the solution at the same time because there are opposing cards that can be used to purify and strengthen that weakness.....at-least this is what I have observed with the court cards so far. I have yet to experiment with the numbers or paths. There are no opposites for the path cards so I am contemplating how one would approach that. Interesting stuff. Gonna keep exploring this. My 2 cents, Peace

I found this article insightful: http://www.myoccultcircle.com/blog/natureofdemons My 2 cents, Peace

Sounds like a chord that needs cutting. My 2 cents, Peace

Did you ask her if there is anything you can personally do to help with your situations? My 2 cents, Peace

A very beautiful form.

I found this tidbit quite insightful. Thanks. My 2 cents, Peace

I have found that spontaneous shaking helps loosen up a lot of those hard to reach blocages/knots in our body that are difficult to reach otherwise. Best of luck to you, an attitude of perseverance and hope is the most important thing. My 2 cents, Peace

Was thinking that one could also apply this methodology to purifying oneself of the negative traits we find in our soul mirror via using cards with the opposite traits of are flaws or something to that effect. Possibly use the Tower or Death card to dissolve ones nonsense. My 2 cents, Peace

Supposedly this is a good book on exorcism. Might help you do it yourself. http://www.amazon.com/The-Exorcists-Handbook-Josephine-McCarthy/dp/193399391X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366113990&sr=8-1&keywords=The+exorcist+handbook My 2 cents, Peace
