  1. Free Authentic Thoth Tarot Readings

    Immortal4life posted a topic in Tarot Bums

    Most people while at fairs, set ups at the mall, or places like that, have encountered people offering things like palm reading, fortune telling, and tarot card readings. To a lot of people these things may not be interesting, or not worth the money. Most people dont really believe these things are going to help them much or are authentic. Here is the original Tarot. It is different than the version the public is familiar with, which is probably only a few hundred years old at the most, and was probably systemized in its current form, in Europe. Tarot is not meant exactly for fortune telling, but rather, for understanding ones spiritual path, and spiritual develoment. This is the most authentic version available today, and is the closest to the original version systemized by Thoth that exists. Free Thoth Tarot Readings- http://www.atlantis.to/free-tarot.htm
  2. Real History, not, His Story.

    This is pretty crazy, I didn't think it was real at first More with Kai

  5. Synchronicity

    Immortal4life posted a topic in General Discussion

    As human beings become more and more out of touch with Nature and more entrenched in modern society, as they become more and more materialistic in their thinking, as their energy channels and hearts become more closed off, they also lose touch with the phenomena of Synchronicity. Here is a really cool Synchronicity quote generator, based on sayings and quotes by the one and only Edgar Cayce- http://www.all-edgar-cayce.com/edgar-cayce-inspirational-quotes.htm

  6. The Tao of Jin (power) in Tai Chi Chuan

    Immortal4life replied to Stigweard's topic in Daoist Discussion

    Feng was obviously the real deal, had powerful fajing, and a ton of Qi flowing. Not paranormal or supernatural though.
  7. Yeah, it would be nice. Most people are stuck in their social conditioning, but what you can do is you can work on yourself.

  8. The Tao of Jin (power) in Tai Chi Chuan

    Immortal4life replied to Stigweard's topic in Daoist Discussion

    I don't understand this challenge. You do realize fajing is not paranormal right? Then on your page, you give this video as a demonstration of fajing or subtle skills So are you saying if someone can reproduce the things on this video on a non compliant opponent, and replicate it several times, you have 1.5 million that you will give to them? Simple as that? What's the catch?

  9. Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker

    Immortal4life replied to Immortal4life's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    What? Wait.....you're Kai? It all makes sense now
  10. Yeah, high school is propaganda. There is a saying "history is written by the victors". If Europeans didn't win and take over America from Native Americans for example, the truth of who was who in history would have been written very differently. Columbus would certainly not be viewed like a hero or explorer, but as the bringer of strife, war, and suffering. Another example would have been if Hitler had won WW2, the history books would explain him very differently than they do now. When you talk about what is taught in history books in schools I like to say.......History? No, His Story.
  11. Ultimate history for the win!

  12. Near Death and Out of Body Experiences

    Immortal4life replied to Immortal4life's topic in General Discussion

    Maybe. Or at least, a bridge to, or a step towards Tao. Yes, everything in this Universe has consciousness and mind.
  13. This seems like a timely issue, given the current climate in discussions lately. Here Oprah discusses the issue of censorship vs. Freedom of Speech. Guests include the Original Gangster and Rap pioneer Ice-T among others. Tipper Gore is such a joke.

  14. Controversial speech and Freedom of Speech

    Immortal4life replied to Immortal4life's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    Yeah. I think Ice-T won the show when it came down to one issue that Oprah brought up, Freedom of Speech vs. Social Responsibility. Ice-t said something along the lines of "at the end of the day, you have to let that be on the artists, the artist has to make that choice, but we can't have the police or censors coming in and making that choice for people"

  17. Stairs at the ancient Nazorean Monastic complex at Wadi Essiah The graves of an elderly man and one with an older man and young woman were found carved into the rock at the entrance to the Temple site. Prior's Cell at western entrance, with cascading pools on the right Restored Entrance to the medieval oratory constructed over the still older (Essene Temple) site. View eastward over the central courtyard between western Assembly Hall and Temple site View of building ruins south of the Temple site Another view of Temple site toward the northwest entrance View from the Bethlehem Cave westward toward the entrance Actual historical acount by a scholar from the time of the Essenes. Doesn't mean everything is exactly accurate, but these historians lived in the same time period http://members.aol.com/Wisdomway/deadseascrolls.htm http://www.religiousstudies.uncc.edu/JDTABOR/DSSEssay.htm
  18. Remains of the bread oven that are found just south of the Temple structure. This kitchen might have been called Bethlehem, the House of Bread. A holy child born in the adjacent cave would have been born "at Bethlehem" (as Jesus the Nazorean was said to have been.) People in Canaan and ancient Israel consumed between 330 - 440 lbs. of wheat and barley per year, usually in the form of flat coarse breads. Essenes would have also eaten sweet sprouted breads. "Grain constituted over fifty percent of the average person's total caloric intake, followed by legumes (e.g. lentils), olive oil, and fruit, especially dried figs" (Judaism: Practice and Belief, 63 BCE-66 CE, 1992, page 129). Remains of what is now known as the Prior's cell, located at the western entrance of the monastery. This porter's guard house consists of two chambers and four or more large and cascading washing pools fed by water channels from the distant spring. No meat, pork, poultry, fish or eggs, or those who eat them, would have passed beyond this point, but only monastics (Nazoreans) and lay village Essenes (Mandai or Essai) entering the lower Edah Assembly Hall. Remains of an ancient sanctuary, built atop a still older Temple structure, consisting of three chambers 20' by 20', with an entrance porch about 16' by 20'. The eastern holy of holies section is raised above the other two, and is toward the east. The flowing wellspring of life was just behind this holy of holies, which fed water channels that surrounded, and purified, the ancient Temple complex. Essenes would not have entered this sanctuary without more purification washings, perhaps even a Tamasha immersion in the flowing mikveh near the entrance. (The Bethlehem "caves" are at the top left of the image.) After preliminary Rishama purification's in the various pools, representing different stages of purity, and possible changing into white pure garments in the outer Porter's chamber, one could enter the western entrance into the lower Edah Assembly Hall. The steps seen above took those more advanced in Nazirutha to a raised dais and then to the upper levels of the Monastery. Floor plan and interior of the Double "Bridal-Chamber" Cave, with stair and altar on the right View of the Bridal Chamber Cave entrance view of Temple site entrance (looking westward out the front entrance toward the more modern chapel built near the top of the winding stairs) Waterworks and steps cut into the rock slope Stairs at Wadi Essene Well
  19. The Essenes and an Essene Monastery- Map of monastic ruins in the Wadi 'ain Essiah (Essenes). Karmeliya (The "Carmelite") ridge on the south (top of map) and Kalabir ridge on the north (with double cave) enclose the lower monastic complex consisting of about one acre of land. Acerage on the sides of the wadi were also used for growing terraces and for cave and hut construction. (In this map the entrance to the complex is to the left which was westward toward the lower gardens and lower spring and the sea.) The entrance and lower Edah hall would have represented one level of purity, that of the lay Mandai, or Gnostic Nazorean. Up the spiral stair would have been a second level of purity. Around the Temple would have been a third area of holiness, with the most holy area and degree of purity being behind the Temple at the "Essene Well" and Bridal Chamber grotto. These four levels being represented by the four purification pools at the entrance house THE GREAT WELL SPRING - the "Well of the Essenes" ('Ain Es-siah), was the source of all life in Wadi Essiah (Essene Canyon). Flowing from an oven shaped opening in the southern Karmeliya ("Carmelite") Ridge and thence flowing through covered rock channels to all other areas of the ancient Nazorean Way Monastery. Yeshu and Miryai would have drunk deeply from this pure flowing "Essene Well", and would have drunk wine and eaten fresh garden produce produced from its healing waters. Remains of covered water channels, or "misra", which began at the "tanna", or "oven spring", and took purifying water to various purification pools and areas throughout the compound, including the entrance area. At the entrance there are four multilevel purification pools, about 6 feet across, where waters cascade down in various grades of purity. Niches, cut into the stone face above the spring, once held votive statues, probably of various Nazorean Gods and Goddesses of Life which are described in the ancient texts as existing at the source of bubbling water and living springs of light. More "misra", or purity canals flowing south of the Temple structure. Other "misra" channels also flowed on other sides of the temple, creating a sacred and pure place through water flow. At certain festivals in the sacred year some of these cover stones would have been removed and the temple structure splashed inside and out for further purification and consecration. The double Bridal Chamber Cave, known now as the Cave of Elisha (lower) and Elijah (upper), is just across from the high spring in the more holy eastern area of the monastic compound. Only more advanced initiates would have frequented this area on a regular basis. Troughs in the lower "Elisha" cave, (probably carved during the Latin hermit phase of the monastery, or even later. These troughs were probably cut after the Essene phase into previously existing stone benches that could have previously served as seating during advanced ritual work of the ancient Nazorean initiates in this marriage cave.) A stone pillar in the lower cave supporting the cavern above. The upper and more holy chamber is entered from the lower chamber by a small stone stair. The upper chamber, representing the womb of Heavenly Mother, would have been utilized for only the most holy ordinance work of the Bnia-Amin. More cells, or habitation caves on the lower southern slopes of Karmeliya ridge where the married monks and nuns would have performed some of their daily disciplines, spiritual exercises and prayers. Remains of stone terraces on Karmeliya ridge of Siah canyon where dedicated monks and married Nazorean nuns would carry jugs of holy spring water to nurture the grape vines, olive trees, and other garden plants grown for fresh food, oil and wine by the monastic community. These terraces on the slopes of Karmeliya would have trapped much of the winter rain water for utilization by the vines and trees planted on them. An ancient winepress ruin that exists just to the left of the Temple entrance. (May also have been used as a "Maswetta" baptismal font fed by water flowing from the spring through the misra channels.) Nazorean Nazarites, unlike their Jewish counterparts, drank wine and were known as Gupnia, or little grape "vines." They had long, uncut hair.
  20. Ancient spiritual groups in the past, some systems such as the Essenes or Great White brotherhood came from and were related to the east as well. The Essenes appeared in the west around 500 BC. The purpose was to live virtuosly and to create a perfect eenvironment and physical body for the grandmaster, who was Amilleous, Thoth, Joseph, and others in previous incarnations, to incarnate as Jesus Christ and be a teacher and an example for all people to follow. Jesus, John the Baptist, and Mary were Essenes http://essenes.net/lifein.html http://www.crystalinks.com/dss.html http://www.edgarcayce.org/ancient_mysterie...ient_index.html Qumran is one location the Essenes definitely lived at- Cleansing pools Dead sea caves Essenes also at Mt.

Yoga was practiced in the east and the west yoga videos discounts - ashtanga, hatha, bikram The History of Tibetan Yoga yoga postures Info on Boddhidharma (also known as Damo,Tamo, or Tatmo), the first Patriarch and founder of Zen Buddhism who traveled from India to China where he taught Yoga and the 18 Lohan Hands exercises, as well as kungfu fighting techniques to the Shaolin monks.These exercises became blended with many fighting arts over time- Bodhidharma However, Bodhidharma did not agree with the Chinese Emperor's philosophy, because the Emperor thought he should build great temples in worship of Buddha and that was the best way to get to heaven and gain merits. But Boddhidharma knew it was only a person's heart that mattered and whether you are a good person. The Emperor and Boddhidharma did not agree, so Bodhidharma went to the Shaolin Temple and taught there. When he arrived he found the buddhist monks had poor concentration and their bodies were weak, so he devised the 18 Lohan Hands routine based on Yoga to train the monks in.
