Join the club. We all have been there. But you don't have to remain there. I have been on this list for over a year and a half now and this is your repeating theme most often when you post. It tells me you are not really doing anything effective. You have been given excellent advice and support over the year. You might try following it. life can be the epitome of suffering or the epitome of joy. So I am going to say something incredibly trite. Did you take the red pill or the blue pill? That applies here. s

Global Shaktipat: Tuesday night, the 19th on Skype at 11pm Miami FL time with Santi and Susan. Will post more info later. If you can donate to help a needy charity it would be wonderful. All are welcome. Namaste, Susan

Global shaktipat and meditation starts tonight at 11pm on SKype with us. We will open the chat room at 1100pm Miami time but not start officially till about a half hour later at 1130. It takes awhile to get everybody into the room and sometimes the shakti overwhelms the skype program and will make it crash. We keep it simple with chat only. You must be a member of Skype. When you log on to Skype contact "silatyogi", who is Santiago Dobles. He will put you in the chat room with the group. It usually lasts about 40 or so minutes but people sometimes stay on for hours just to visit and play. Hope you all can come. If you can't come to the chat room just assume your usual meditation posture and intend to be with us. We will reach out to you and include you. There is no time and space in consciousness. Sometimes these events are the first time people ever experience first hand the non local nature of Consciousness and Energy. Namaste, Susan

Go to the top of Masada. Abraham's burial place. Garden of Gethsemane. Also Petra in Jordan. All power spots to my senses, especially Masada. Some of my sensitive friends claim that Masada is a multidimensional refueling spot. Masada was most powerful to me also because I could feel, see, and hear the deaths. In Sedona you can go to Bell Rock and see the trees that are growing in spiral twists like the direction of the vortex energy flow. s for the truly adventurous and adept create your own vortex. Takes practice so don't give up! also wanted to add if you are out by yourself you can feel the presence of a vortex because there is usually a corresponding drop in blood pressure and you will feel a little lightheaded.

Dan and I have been friends for at least 10 years. He's right. I have also observed water moved underground in similar fashion. I used to work with him as a solar shaman but rarely do that much with him anymore. (He mentions me on his website in the context of kundalini, bliss, and solar shamanism.) My friend and a mentor who is a native born Hawaiian Kahuna used to tell stories of the Kahunas of old who would stand on the cliffs above the ocean and steer hurricanes away from the islands. He tells me that many kahunas now have lost the ability to do that. He says they love the hurricane to get it to turn. Basically, they are healing a disturbance in the Force. Susan PS. He is on Facebook under his name so you can connect with him there and leave him messages.

I am transitioning into a new way of teaching-focusing on leading retreats for women so I have about 5 books on that subject. I am also a big fan of kindle. My list on my kindle: Just a few The Pleasure Trap ( about the bio-psychological basics of addiction and the affect it has on our society). Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman (moving to a plant based diet) A Light Warrior's Guide by Michael Lomax Exploring Chakras: Awaken Your UnTapped Energy by Susan G. Shumsky Asanas, Mudrahs, and Bandhas by Yogani Dream Psychology Psychoanalyis for beginners by Sigmund Freud Popular Tales from the Norse by Sir George Webber Dasent (Always good to know the myths and archetypes of other cultures when working with kundalini.) The Problems of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell Hindu Tales from the Sanskrit The Woman's Bible by Elizabeth Cady Staton. Written by a suffragette during the time the women's movement was just getting started to bring voter rights to women in 1840s. This book was written by women to challenge the religious doctrine of men's right to supremacy over women by studying the historical languages of the bible and rewriting it. Liberation theology. Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stewart. A woman's letters starting from 1904 who settled in Burnt Fork, Wyoming to become a landowner.( My grandmother was born in 1888 and I wanted to know more about that time. Her great grand uncle, Jebediah Dickerson, retired cavalry colonel, homesteaded a ranch and farm in Missouri in the early 1800s after traveling by covered wagon from Kentucky in the company of Daniel Boone and friends. Or so the family story goes. ) Susan

I love to watch Parkour videos. It amazes me what the body is capable of. s

I like what you said in your book is that healers must practice their qigong 3 hours a day. I find that to be true for myself. practice trains the neural pathways in the brain. Grows new connections. Also imagining perfect practice is what the superior atheletes do for mind training as well as doing their physical training. And all the good ones know how to relax because energy does NOT flow well through tension whether physical or emotional or mental. susan

I used to have sleep apnea too. Was on CPAP for about a year. I lost weight and that fixed it. Also consider the CPAP machine forces the body to learn how to belly breath which is more efficient and relaxing. That may be what the instrument forces you to do. Upper chest breathing is what most civilized people do and it increases the thoracic pressure inside the chest which keeps the sympathetic nervous system activated. (flight or fright). Watch how a little baby breathes and learn to breath like that. That's how the animals breathe too. Good luck. s

I have been trying to explain this to people for years. Interesting that the female is portrayed as the masturbater. http://youtu.be/WwTd9x9NY6M A good portion of the population are unconscious sex vampires practicing sex magic and energetic rape. s

Take that energy charge that is created and circulate it through the orbit.

Yes, I understand what you are saying. Hopefully, people are on TTBs to learn to ask the deeper questions like this to gain their own understanding. Mastery is also about common sense and serving others as well as about using "magical" powers.

Nice. It is obvious you have given this thoughtful consideration. The person who is doing the looking do you think it out of their conscious control i.e. they have no choice?

(If someone will tell me how to use the multiquote feature I would appreciate it.) For a beginning cultivators I understand what you are saying. I wondered why no one brought up the implications on shen and virtue also in masturbation. Masturbation is a neutral activity as is energy. what is the context of the practice? Is it just for relief? Why do people not get what they want when they jack off too? It is because they are unskillful and unlearned in the ways of energy mastery. Imagine if every one got what they wanted just because they knew how to masturbate or do affirmations. The world would be an awful place. The reason people don't get what they want is because they are unskilled in holding a pin point focus, their unconscious works against their conscious desires; they lack training and practice. Sexual vampirism is not necessarily a bad thing. Consensual energy exchange is very powerful and transforming. It is healing. Learning to be a master requires self inquiry and also learning to be accountable for ourselves, including how we use our energy. Not because you are training to be the Sorceror's Apprentice, for the external results...but, for what happens internally in your heart and how it affects your virtue. So if a beginning cultivator wants to make mastership a character of their lives this would include developing self awareness of how they interact with their internal and external environment all the time.

I wouldn't want to nor see the need to do so. It's all a matter of context. Each action begins in the heart, a desire, a thought expressed. I have been robbed and it made me feel invaded. I have also been attacked when I was younger during attempted molestations. Rape is about power and not about sex. Witness what is happening in Libya. I watched a news clip today that interviewed a libyan physician in a hospital morgue. He showed dead Ghaddhfi supporters that were found to have condoms and Viagra in their pockets. It's really a matter of perception. Energetic rape is real speaking from being on the receiving end. Becoming a master of one's own energy is, well, the hallmark of a master. I think it might have been sloppy who said masturbatee first. I have used the term wanker before.

Referring back to the sexual shaman, she shared with me that-and I agree-that people worship the goddess outside of themselves not understanding that the Goddess/God/Spirit lives within. She saw part of her role as a healer to lead people to that realization and she was good at doing that.

Yes, I see that too. Everything that we think, say, do creates an energy thread that links to every person, place, thing, or event we touched. Even that which we see in our dreams or imagination. Then we could bring in the multidimensional aspects to across time and space and multiverses. One can clear or transform the links of the past. That is part of my every day energy hygiene practice but one must be mindful we are creating many, new energy links every day. Part of the path of mastery is becoming masterful in knowing when and how you create these energy links and also why. Each energy link is transmitting energy back and forth. One must learn which energy links to keep and which to let go because it all can impact your own level of energy.

Sexual energy is potent tool to use for manifestation. Whip up a whopping good orgasm and release into the universe with a statement about what you want or what you want to intend for yourself. Be mindful of karma back wash. In other words, do not use sexual energy to manipulate others. Only use for yourself unless you want to slip into the Dark Side. The law of balance is in play. Intent does not have to be sexual but it can be. Sexual energy is also creation energy. You add the sexual energy as an accelerant or catalyst for manifesting more quickly. It does seem strange to fantasy about one's self but it is also a way to get inside yourself energetically. Could someone stir up sexual energy, pleasure themselves without a fantasy object, just to experience the energy on it's own? I can bring up an orgasm at will mindfully. I hope i answered some of your question. Maybe someone else on the board can offer their experiences and insight too.

This is a conscious, consensual energy exchange between adults. Masturbation over a picture probably does not involve consent of the person in the picture. So without consent the masturbator is using the energy or pic or essence of the person. Using somebody sexually without their permission. What does society call that? What are we taking from that person? On this board over the year and a half I have been here there are multiple questions almost on a daily basis about sex, masturbation, and jing loss. Does anyone ask about the effects this activity has on the masturbatory aid? And the masturbator using the other person image (which connects them with the person's essence.) without consent? Does this activity increase virtue and internal cultivation skills? These questions may not be important or even come to the mind of the general public but what about internal cultivators? Regarding the sexual shaman, she fills her devotees with transmissions of energy and loves and protects them for their offerings of energy to her. So on a wider, macro scale, what is devotion and worship anyway? What is the energy exchange between Diety/Spirit/God and the devotee? It the Diety an Uber energy vampire? Or is the devotee? Or?

Yes, an old acquaintance was a sexual shaman and dominatrix. She used to require of her followers to place her picture on a sacred altar and masturbate to it. She would tell them how long to masturbate and when to ejaculate. Then she would sometimes have them eat their ejaculate as an offering to her. She was their surrogate for the Goddess because they did not know how to admire and worship a goddess that was spirit. Eventually, they became accustomed to and trained enough so they could transfer their devotion to her to be devotion to the Goddess.

Energy is energy. It's the intent that determines the effect. So every action between people involves energy exchange at different level levels, nuances, intents. So I will just ask, how do people feel after they have masturbated? what did they use or take from the picture of that being?

Everything is ripe for abuse, sloppy. But we can't control other people's fantasies or actions. We can only be accountable for own.

My answer was awkward. I meant that looking at that person on TV or in pics doesn't usually show a decline in energy because the object of the fantasies are usually young adults. Strong jing. With sex magic we are working more on the etheric level or causal body. We are also talking about subtle energies here. I would never attribute a decline of some sort to one absolute but do consider that this is one more influence among a host among other influences. I think there is potential more harm to the individual who masturbates while objectifying another human being than to the masturbatee. So, if we take it out of the realm of celebrities, and bring it down to home....how does this influence our relationships with those in our sphere of influence, in our neighborhood? How does this influence in a 1 to 1 relationship which brings this down to a more personal level? This, for me, was just a way to point out we must be aware of our world. We do influence events no matter how small that influence might be.

Sure...but what is the quality and intent of the energy that is being sent? There are all types of fantasies. Fantasies in the mind are hidden from anybody viewing them so in our minds we do a lot more than we might do in our real lives. Taking energy from others sexually is a form of sex magic. In the fantasy there is a lot of desire (which makes sex energy powerful for creating an effect). The desire usually has no consideration of the receiver of the energy other that as an object or a masturbatory aid.

why do you think it is related to parental energy?
