Paul- Hahaha, wow... I thought you had to build jing then chi then shen, i didn't know you could build shen first and it would build the others but now that you mention it, it does sound feasible. Haha, to more I think about stuff the more the answer seems to be "shut up and keep doing kunlun" LChuan- Thanks I'll look into this fella

Whats the point of gathering wealth if you only share it with the wealthy. It's elitism at it's best. Take those who are worthy and leave the rest behind...VERY compassionate Also Zhen, Shan, Ren can be summed up in one word...LOVE. Love is (imho) the ONE AND ONLY rule/guide that we should hold ourselves by. However if people can't understand that one rule sometimes it has to be broken down into more specific rules. My best advise is to open your heart (I mean literally, do fish pose or kunlun or something until you reconnect with the source within) and let "God" within(or Higher Self or whatever word you want to use) guide you from then on. Remember that it's ALL inside you, you're your own best teacher when it comes to life, there's nowhere to go but inward. Theres my 2c. -Astral

3bob, you bring up very valid examples. Now that I believe myself to better understand where you're coming from I DO have a couple example myself In examples of sharing truth/concerns (like the teenage daughter) I would hardly consider that being "negative" as you're not trying to put anyone down to feel good about yourself, you're trying to protect someone and help them to be informed to make the best decisions. However in these situations one must be willing to accept the choices of a person once they understand the consequences(unless of course you feel their life is in danger). Forcing one to conform to your will isn't love. In terms of martial arts masters "kicking butt" and choking a dog to stop it from hurting the mailman, this falls under the category of "protection". I never said physical force itself was negative . I'm not as familiar with the two examples of Christ as I should be, but I don't look to the commercialized Bible for an account of Christ as I believe much of it has been altered. Now that I believe I understand you better I think we're in agreement, but were just misunderstood. When I say negativity, I mean it in the sense of putting down others to make yourself feel better or superior. When being honest and protecting others, whether it be by force or not, I would consider each of those quite positive. While there is much more that can be discussed on this topic I prefer to simply say "this is how I try to conduct myself based on my beliefs, what you believe and how you plan to act based on those beliefs is your freedom to decide" I was merely sharing my view based on your comment to my opinions on energetic parasitism. If you'd like to discuss morality and other "personal" things perhaps it would be more appropriate to do so in a "Debate" thread or via pm (although I wont debate with you, I would prefer to discuss and share). -Astral

3bob, Thank You for the quote, I much enjoyed it. Also you are correct in your speaking. Speaking truth for the most part is a positive force. However take an example of a child play with a rock. The child is enjoying himself when an older child comes along and calls that child "stupid" for playing with a rock. THAT is negative. When you purposely put someone down or ruin their fun just to make yourself seem superior or just to feed off their negative energy that is negative. If one has a "sharp tougne" then one should be aware of that and decide whether it serves them well or not. While love is true, it doesn't try to hurt others and take pride in it's "sharpness". Intentionally hurting another cuts you off from the source within. Why do we hurt others? mostly it's just to boost our own ego, to enjoy draining their energy. But if we have infinite source within we don't need to bring others down. Of course the best way to deal with such things is to love and appreciate ALL things. If someone hits you thank them for the experience, if they call you stupid thank them for expressing their opinions to you, etc. Of course without being connected to the infinite source within this can seem hard and perhaps draining. It is true that people set themselves up to suffer by making attachments and expectations and overly invest(emotionally) in such things. However spreading pain in todays world is like beating a dead horse. This world needs love, not more pain. Of course when you try to help others you can't "force" things upon them, the best you can do is offer what you have and lead by example. "Methods" of spreading fear, hatred, guilt, shame, etc are methods of destruction (including SELF-destruction). Perhaps I'm reading what your saying wrong, however. Could you give an example of when "negativity" would be preferable to positivity? And of course i'm no talking about blatant lying like saying to someone "oh you're already god, you don't need to change to experience enlightenment...that'll be $400 please", ) -Astral

WARNING: The following is Astral Anima's OPINION based on his own personal experience, he makes no claim to this being the truth of things, he merely states a theory based on his observations. I'm Astral Anima and I approve this messege. Thus is the nature of energteic parasitism, a new pandemic, lol. When we're cut off from the source of infinite love within, to compensate sometimes we turn to parasitism and feed off of the energies of others. Negativity is the food of an energetic parasite, and they will do anything to get their "host" to feel it. Also, as you noticed, they equally get off on their own negativity as much as others'. This is the difference between choosing life and death because when you are cut off from the source you are on the road to self destruction. People who shift to living on negativity find love and innocent expression to be intolerable, they tend to lean toward positions of authority and power in an attempt to use to control people/things around them. They smirk and pride themselves in self destruction, while ridiculing anyone who shows self love. If, however, you are connected to your inner source and decide to choose happiness, turn the other cheek, smile, love, laugh instead of getting defensive or angry and feeding into their tactics, then they will gain nothing from you. -Astral

Hey Mel, So have you started practicing Falun Gong? How has the law wheel helped you to protect yourself? Jus curious. thx -Astral

Hello, So I'm under the impression that the yogic postures are ways of opening certain channels or are linked to healing certain parts of the body-mind. So assuming this assumption is correct does anyone know what Fish pose would be used for? here a vid of it In my spontaneous practice i've been taking this pose alot. I know intellectualizing it is pretty much useless as it is the direct experience of it that counts, but just for fun i'm curious wat signifigance this pose may hold. Thx in advance -Astal

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I should have known . Thank you.

JINKIES! Thanks Rain! No I searched but i didn't happen to stumble upon these. Perhaps my powers of perception need more refinement Very interesting though, especially about the "inner light" thing. I've heard of people who teach this, but i've never heard anything about moving it to the dantien and up and down the front channel. VERY interesting, thank you again -Astral

The true "kingdom of heaven" is within, it's been said all along. One need only look inside, because the best things in life are the ones freely given (except for a boot to the head )

Haha, well that describes whats going on with me in Kunlun. It's been nagging at my heart since I started. How about jing into chi? I always just assumed dantien breathing in full/half lotus. any other ideas/ways anyone knows of?

O no doubt, it's just the most common way i've heard is by sitting in full lotus or in deep concentration. If you know of any more please share, i'd be curious.

LOLZ, well that basically sums up 90% of the US But thank you for the info you provided, it indeed helped me to understand a little better. -Astral

I like alot of what this guy says and just wanted to share -Astral

Personally i've found unpasteurized milk from grass-fed cows to be of the utmost help in dealing with sugar cravings AND fat cravings. There were weeks where I would drink nothing but milk and I felt great on it. It really contains almost everything you need, amazing protein content (even though the concept of needed alot of protein is a myth), tons of minerals and vits (including the fat soluble vits and vit D), fat, and it's 80% water so you don't need much fluids on top of that. Raw milk is actually a "healing protocol" as well. http://www.oldandsold.com/articles06/eat-37.shtml http://www.realmilk.com/milkcure.html Also when you eat normally, don't eat warm/hot food (do it room temp) and don't over eat. Stop at 1/2 - 2/3 full. Lastly don't do anything that will spike your blood sugar. fruits and veggies have fiber to help slow the release, milk has fat. I noticed in myself that when my blood sugar goes up my body wants to ejaculate. Notice how the things you do in your life effect you and all problems will eventually be solved -Astral

If you are asking ways to lower the hold your "inner animal" has on you there's no better way than fasting or sum simple dietary changes. Gluttony and Lust are directly related to each other in the sense that one will lead to the other. Fasting takes care of this and awakens your REAL "Inner Power" Also if you simply adhere to a vegetarian diet, preferably high in sprouts, that too will lower sex drive. Animal products have long been known to increase "desire" as has garlic and onion. Also you may want to set your foundation and practice detachment. Personally I've found "Fight Club" to be a great example of detachment , just pay attention to Brad Pitt's character. Also...just stay away from women for awhile. Shut off your laptop, get out of the house and spend sum time in nature. Idk where you live, if it's too cold or anything but even sitting in your yard with a quilt around you, or just keeping the windows open getting the fresh air, try to get sum sunlight, if you can let your bare feet touch the earth. All of these are subtle healers that will help balance your mind. Again though, fasting and/or dietary change along with detachment is by far the most effective way I've found to regaining control of your actions. Are you okay with not having the ultimate say in what you do? -Astral

Thats because they still adhere to the flawed "microbe theory" of disease. Toxemia and malnutrition are the only causes of disease, bacteria are our "cleanup crew", they help us detoxify. I've already posted the cause of IBS discovered by MDs http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1678986#i http://www.healingwell.com/library/ibs/article.asp?author=vanvorous&id=1 Always remember that the media is subject to the influence of big business, the TRUE owners of this country. They will never let a cure to anything be released because cures can't make nearly as much money as a monthly drug does. Cancer, diabetes, IBS, heart disease, all of these have cures that are out there, they are merely being supressed. The whole thing with the tao and homeopathy I believe is referring to the concept of following nature. I personally don't believe like cures like I believe all that does it cause more toxicity to the point where it's repressed and the symptoms go away. Kinda like comfort food, it puts such a burden on your system you become less aware of whatever pain (emotional, physical) you're in. Personally i'm a firm believer in using plants as medicine and fruits as food. But it's true, Mother nature has no diseases, learn and follow her guidelines and you'll live a perfectly healthy and happy life. Abandon her, poison her and try to destroy her (consciously or unconsciously) and we will face the consequences. The tao is about (in my limited understanding) being in harmony with nature. Modern medicine is not in harmony with nature, nor is modern living in general. A daoist sage would probably prefer a log cabin or cave somewhere -Astral

The "God" of the old testament sound like the "demons that control today's world. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole old and new testament was changed by the catholic church to fit older mythological tales of alien "gods" just so everyone would try to classify Chirst as "nothing special" or "just another emanation of an age old tale". Love is not jealous, love is not spiteful, love is not prideful, love is not vain, love needs no recognition...etc, therefore the jealous spiteful, vengeful, controlling god of the classic old testament cannot be the one Christ was referring to as "father" nor should be considered worthy for us to even listen to. What if for example the real story of adam and eve had them eating of the tree of life and lucifer came posing as their "creator" and screwed everything up, messing with genetics and creating his own society? What if the whole old testament is actually the writings of those who followed him, the ones who were told to perform blood sacrifices (occult stuff), and wage war and have sex with their daughters? What if Christ's story was purposely changed so people would believe him to be a mythological figure from other cultures? I wouldn't trust a single word of the spawn of the most corrupt and sketch religious organization on the planet. Just throwin that out there. -Astral

YES! I know that "dull glaze" feeling...too well XP. It happens to me when I continously eat a diet of processed and cooked foods. My awareness of myself is lowered. Everything is numbed and "hazy", I feel everything less. Really man, make sum damn smoothies, lol, or buy them. I just bought this one, it's flash pasteurized which is better than normal, but still not as good as fresh, but it had purees of fruit and wheatgrass and wheat sprouts and spirulina and such for only $3. It really sounds like you'd benefit from a liquid diet of some sort, even if only for 15-20 days. Everything gets brighter, no more "grey" feeling. You hear stuff, smell stuff, feel stuff and notice stuff that normally you wouldn't. There plenty of energy and no full belly. Then again my body works in a way where the less I eat the more I can move and the more I move the more energy I have...so...I didn't used to be like that. After the MasterCleanse my body changed from liking cold weather to liking hot weather (cold weather irritates me now), my energy is no longer dependant on food, and of course the positive benefits of being thinner Idk. Go figure it out, lol. Btw I just got a job working 10-4 eastern time so I may not be catchin ya as much on msn . Jus a heads up -Astral

Oh and for those interested in reading the book of enoch I've attached it below in .txt format. -Astral

Meg, the gnostic journals are indeed a gem for those interested in that subject. It is the general belief that they are speaking of alien lifeforms who did genetic experimentation either with our species or with another species or perhaps just amoungst themselves. I could also be that these "nephelim" are indeed alien humanoid lifeforms. The reason most people believe the former is the biblical verse stating that the "sons of man" (translated as fallen angels) took wives of the "daughters of men" (human women) and taught them many things (the occult). Then of course it's the belief they somehow mated with the women giving them offsrping which were the nephelim. Some will argue that since inter-species breeding isn't possible naturally, that genetic experimentation occured. Thats the general theory of most people that i've heard. As per "incubus"...well i'm a guy so no, lol and nor have I had an attack from a "succubus" i don't think (if i did i don't remember). However there are accounts of people encountering different "lifeforms" in altered states of consciousness that have had "romantic" encounters, "demonic" encounters etc. Most noted, especially amoungst one or two Kunlun practitioners is the encounter of "Reptile-humans". Some people claim to channel their species such as...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH0pgDeOL4M&feature=related . their validity doesn't go beyond their own word so it's hard for me to take seriously but if you find sum meaning in it...well there u go. You say you are a follower of Christ but don't like churches and you read the gnostic journals...have you ever heard of or looked into the essenes? You may resonate with what they say. If you'd like some info on that PM me. Best -Astal

What causes food sensivities? Is it by eating too much of something? And how do you reverse it? I heard that Liver cleansing gets rid of sensitivities. Has anyone experienced this as well?

As much as I disagree with the concept of it, I can't deny the fact that the paleo diet does have the most scientific AND historic backing. Nearly everyone on that diet does EXTREMELY well. In fact I'm part of a paleo forum and one of the most interesting notes of a raw meat based diet is the regrowth of teeth and gum tissue and the increase on muscle tone with no exercise. Also most people boast of increased sexual energy, more calmness, and many other things. While I still disagree with it, you can't argue the facts. Cooking food really only had it's place in the agricultural societies because humans can't break down heavy grains or cellulose, therefore we had to cook it to make it more digestible. Meat, eggs and milk, all animal products are superior in raw form. Cooked animals products have been proven to deteriorate health while raw animal products SEEM to increase vitality like nothing before. The only reason anyone ever cooked meat im assuming is to kill parasites however the more you read into the science and results of others on such a diet thats not such a problem. Also if you're really scared you can soak it in lemon juice. rawpaleoforum.com check it out

I would look at what nutrients effect the nervous system the most and choose foods that are dense in that nutirent. I would also look at the foods that are the most digestable. Now personally I would suggest raw milk. It did wonders to me and if raw veganism doesnt work out i'll definately be going back to it. RAW fat and cholesterol are AMAZING healing agents. As for vitamins, I know B6 and B12 are crucial to nerve health and so is vitamin D. Obviously you want alot of potassium and magnesium (bout a 2:1 ratio with sodium and calcium). Raw egg yolks (not the whites) and raw milk with honey and fruit honestly is probably the best thing you can do. Because of your IBS you don't want any rough fiber from nuts and seeds and since thats ur main source of fat in a vegan diet then raw milk and egg yolks work well to supply what u may need. I would say just eat egg yolks and milk but you need fiber and magnesium, so fruits high in magnesium and the B&C vitamins work best. I would avoid citrus fruits and stick with things like bananas(great for bowl health), figs, prunes/grapes, apricots, peaches. Also keep the eggs and fruit at room temp and keep milk refrigerated but warm it up by pouring a glass and placing the glass into hat water. The raw fats is really an overlooked concept IMHO. If you look up alternative raw food "gurus" like Aajonus Vonderplanitz (extreme example) who say raw fat and bacteria causes the fastest detox possible, you may open to an alternative procedure if you're sure the one you're on isn't working for you. Personally i'm going to be trying a combination of sprouts, fermented veggies and algae and see what happens, i'll let you know. I would also look into the Mao Shan 5 elements postures. they work at bringing the bodies organs into balance. Lastly i would look into irodology. I think tats a majorly overlooked practice. If you like I can scan a page on that and attach it to a post or send it on msn. lemme know -Astral EDIT: also check this out http://nutritiondata.self.com/tools/nutrient-search

http://tankerenemy.blogspot.com/2010/08/age-of-treason-1958-book-exposes.html Has anyone read this book or have a copy or know where to get one??? I've been trying to get a hold of this but the only copies available are on amazon and go for $160-$200. On a side note, what do you guys think about this topic. Apparently this whole subject dates back to Nazi Germany and even before that. Any other resources you guys can suggest on this topic? ANy knowledge/insight you can share. Much Appreciated -Astral
