no offense.... but america is going to collapse economically, probably the worst crash ever. just another place trodden on in the totalitarian agenda. (plus you got that super volcano rumbling in yellowstone...) hey last year when i was researching a lot, i found a newspaper article (can't remember where now) that said 1 in ever 173 americans were imprisoned..... that's homeland security for ya! careful what you say cos very likely you could be whisked away. they got those big detention centres where they can hold people indefinately without trial. personally though, i think it's going to get real rough in the coming years. but the human spirit will prevail. we are just that resilient

interesting..... can you do it with other oil also? say, sesame oil? i don't like sunflower oil. where'd you get this info from? is it a practice you regularly do?

right on. this [r]evolution is one of the individual..... something i realised. lead by examble. change yourself and do the right thing by your body.... as soon as enough people do this, it's finished. the world is reclaimed. no running away to hide in a cave, so true. my dad wants to dissapear for a 3 year retreat next year. i personally think thats lame, enlightenment isn't found through meditating for endless hours, enlightenment is RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!

my parents are both strong buddhists. i have clashed with them on this level because i just don't see buddhism as being a clear path.... but obviously there is some kind of residual resistance from my dad trying so hard while i was growing up to get me to be a buddhist. i'm just letting them be as they are now. i love my parents for raising me and supporting me.... but in all true honesty i don't feel a lot of connection to them. i understand genetically i am related to them, but other than that i am my own being. they are responsible for my physical body and a lot of the conditioning that has caused these personalities (my actors role) that i currently portray and i give them credit for that.... but that's it, really. i love them in the same way i am coming to love everyone. might sound weird, but thats kind of the way i feel.

fantastic website. thanks for bringing it up. i know much of this kind of information already (but will still have a good look through it) and it's really time to continue to bring this knowledge to the front of everyone's mind. all it takes is all of us people saying "no more!" and it's finished! time to take down the government-media-corporate-military empire. i've toying with a book for a while on this but at the moment don't have any time to write it.... hopefully soon i will. i think it's important to get as much people looking critically about what is going on, as soon as possible or it might end up too late and the microchip and one-world government will be upon us before we can mount a decent ®evolution. *also rant*

i currently work as a debt collecter.... yeah it's interesting because i am pleasant on the phones. the other operators around me are not so pleasant on the phone, they constantly escalate into hanging up and seem to get a lot of grief from customers. i haven't been worked up once yet, i'm calm and it's cool. funny thing is i have been topping the debts recovered a couple of times in a row since i started... nice guy thing works anyways the job is only temporary and i took it cos i was sick of being unemployed, and it's like 5 minutes walk from my house so i can go home and make a fresh lunch every day. i have been working on being present a lot more lately, and since starting here (over a month ago now) i have found that not once have i been wishing the end of the day would hurry up. not once have i been wishing the weekend would hurry up. real interesting as in the past it was so difficult for me to work. anyways what i am doing is saving money up to become an indefiniate nomadic traveller late september is departure date..... i'm just looking for my tribe/community and i'm gonna search till i find that place to settle down with great people living harmoniously and i can do what i really want to do........ which is grow my own food. idealistic? probably.

i personally like the ayurvedic model of diet as it takes into account each individuals personal disposition. for example i am very much vatta (air-ether) and have tried the raw food thing. i rapidly waste away, have lowered energy levels and become very cold. this is because i am cold and dry by nature.... warm, moist foods go great with me. i have another friend who (even though he hasn't had his disposition read) is very much a pitta. he thrives on raw foods with increased energy levels and his body becomes very balanced. diet is such an individualistic thing that the perfect 'balanced' diet just does not exist as a general thing.

i concur. went there for a course and it was a waste of time and money. have been back though to use the health facilities which are pretty amazing..... blood ozonation is awesome.

anything a child asks of you, explain it to them. honestly, with no frills. i have learnt one very important lesson regarding children, i read it in "the celestine prohpecy" actually, and it stuck with me. talk to a child in the same manner you would talk to anyone else. there is no need to ever dumb down to a child, regardless of age. they understand and at a deconditioned age are probably more aware of the universe than us, just devoid of the words and concepts to describe it is all. you mean as opposed to being in a tribe? no i don't think so. the most important aspects i feel, are to 1. let the child choose his/her own path (i.e. how do they want to express their infinite creativity?). 2. a full and rich social blend of interactions. i.e. interacting with as many people of different ages, sexes, races (if applicable in the area), trades, character, etc. the rest can work itself out as you go. they would be my only two guidelines. oh, definately. allowing a child to choose his/her own path does not mean there are not behavioural limits. unnecessary violence, for example is not allowed. however i have learnt rather than punish a child for an action, talk to them in a calm manner and with honesty and sincerity. a fantastic example is this: one day i was hanging out with a couple of the 8 kids and we were mucking around. one of the younger ones told me he wanted to be a baby again. and jokingly i said he missed his mummies nipple. one of his older brothers took that as offensive and came to his brothers defense by spitting in my face. instantly i told him that was not on, and i was going to tell his father, which i did. his father spoke with him about the matter and it came out that he thought i was insulting his brother. i explained to him that i was merely joking, and if he ever felt like i was crossing the line or doing something wrong by him, to tell me and we could discuss it. he understood. amazingly ever since that interaction, this one of the eight became a lot closer to me.... whereas he was a little stand-offish and distant, he suddenly became a lot more affectionate and friendly. he truly appreciated the openess and honesty i shared with him and that i didn't overreact. the kids know the morals. they know right from wrong, oh sure they want to push..... and they want to have the boundaries defined for them. so you do it as necessary. you will be a great father. i read part of a book on children and it had some amazing advice. for the first several months until they are able to begin moving more of their own accord, of a childs life it should go everywhere held either by mummy or daddy. throughout the day constantly in mums or dads arm. a child should also apparently sleep in the same bed as mum (and dad?) for the first 3 years also. reduces muscle tonus (tension) and keeps a child soft and supple, and emotionally secure. gotta find this book and read more it's called "the continuum concept" if you are interested. (p.s. i'm only 24, no kids for at least another 4 or more years for me haha)

?? sean. i see your point, but i think i'm in the same camp as yoda on this one... and it's not about just letting them rear themselves. its about providing all the support the child needs, nothing more and nothing less. from that point you let the child essentially choose it's path and all you do is provide support, resources and encouragement. the point is that you are not forcing a child to learn anything or in a fashion that it's not willing to. it may seem like this would cause a child to want to do nothing, but on the contrary i have witnessed first hand the kind of interest and dedication to self-learning this attitude sparks. there is a friend of mine at the local markets, he has 8 children. none of them vaccinated. none of them go to school (they have a teacher, but it's sort of more informal). these kids all sleep in the same room, and many share beds. they all eat healthy foods, all organic or biodynamic. drink clean water. the kids are mostly left to their own devices, and as i said above, the parents provide the support love and care that the child needs at any one moment. granted at this stage the eldest is 11. but i have had a chance to talk and play with all of these children, and they are amazing. sure they are prone to the regular tantrums, and other little spats kids have but it's quite incredible how unique each of them is in their personality and just how expressive, alive and vibrant they all are. at their age they already have work ethic. they make their way around the markets volunteering to help stall holders out, and they work so hard and well they even get paid for it. all income they give back to their father, who doesn't even ask for it. i love hanging out with these kids and i've never been able to say this before about young children (except when i was one) but these kids are really and truly my friends and i am able to communicate them in the same manner, actually even more openly and honestly, that i do with anyone else. remarkable. although trying to play with all eight at once, something i've only done on one sunday (as usually only 4-5 of them come to any one market, and two of them are two young to come) is just too much! ahhhhg when they all talk at once. but i enjoy it because my patience is really given a thorough working and not once have i felt annoyed or angered.... just tired sometimes haha. but also being with them reminds me that i was a child and am still capable of viewing and enjoying the world in the same manner. what fun!!! but then their father is a pretty remarkable and intelligent man (haven't had much oppurtunity to get to know the mumma). anyways i feel like the point of this discussion was from an idealistic view..... a "what would you do if?" hypothetical.... not necessarily feasible in all situations granted, but definately possible of that i am certain.

two-trees.... your cool. lets make babies together. hahaha. one of my listed goals WAS to have babies from different mummas

i like your reply, bro. you could have easily taken my comment as being negative, but chose not too. very good. i got myself a pair of 15lb clubs. i love them. i am finding that they are really helping me balance my earth element (by ayurveda) as i tend to be very airy/yin so it's a real fantastic practice for me to be working with something so solid and grounding. the reason i am so enamoured with RMAX is the whole "YOU create your OWN style" concept. i love that i am learning my style, not someone elses. and i really am learning a lot about myself. i feel over time i could easily invent my own chi kung or anything else..... that's what mastery is, IMHO. and you highlighted one of the points i was trying to make with that article. by identifying with a religion/style/whatever you are no longer pursuing yourself, you are not being wu wei. you are conforming to someone else's ideology. another article i stumbled upon yesterday: http://www.wisefoolpress.com/a-bb.htm highlights exactly how i feel about buddhism, and about my parents with regards to this. i feel like despite how nice it is, it's a dead end path and anyone who succeeds will do so in spite of it. i feel the same way about taoist alchemy too..... anyways i hold by my statement "if you enjoy it. if it enriches your life. if it brings you what you seek. then stick with it and have fun!" :)

i go with yoda. for my own kids, when i have them, i have no intention of teaching them anything. i will do my own thing and let them learn whatever they desire to about any practical aspect. the only thing i will emphasise in their development is to listen to intuition, and to foster creativity. the rest is up to them! i hope to raise kids living in a tribal (community) village where they can run amuck with all the other kids and interact with people of all ages on a daily basis. i have no intention of sending my kids to school either. life is the best school there could possibly be. if a child wants to build stuff with his hands.... he will naturally gravitate to that. if he/she wants to garden, the same... art... music... whatever. the kid will naturally seek whatever expression they desire. we have no need to force learning upon a child, as we do. shutting kids in a classroom for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week with only other kids of the same age is pretty much prison. should be illegal!

hahahahaha. brings up memories of my own past. aikidoka tend to become pretty infatuated with their art..... i haven't trained in well over a year now and have no intentions of every going back to regular training of aikido.

unfortunately not. i still live with my parents and at this point they are unable to afford a water filter.... despite my urgings. i would have bought one some time ago, were it not for the fact that later this year i intend to pack up and become a travelling nomad for an indefinite length of time. i have a good friend who has one and loves it... to the extent that he arranges good deals on them for others (he has a lot of contacts) and sells them for no profit. i have a little portable walter filter/alkaliser/mineraliser that i use which is great. makes the water very sweet. also got a bigger jug version for my parents as a temporary until next year when they will buy a wellness or jupiter.

allow it. sieze it. be it.

what you truthfully seek is what you get..... kundalini syndrome and all that other stuff happens to people who actively seek it..... and seek it hard. we create our realities, we create the bizarre phenomena we seek out. we want to experience something so we provide that experience for ourselves. the universe never gives us anything because we are a part of it. we are it. we are that whole part of the hologram. we give it to ourselves. for myself i had never realised that it was all so simple. it's so unbelievably simple it's ridiculous. sometimes i laugh for a long time at just how simple it is. and yet most of the time it's just out of reach, hovering there..... i can see it now. i couldn't see it before, but it's always there for all of us. and like eckart tolle speaks about, and the zen monks speak about, and the buddhists speak about, and the taoists speak about.... all in their own unique ways. it's presence, pure and simple. it's the moment. this moment. seize it.

oooh a bump. well in regards to this i have found the mini's to be so awesome. i don't use them as per xtension at the moment..... rather i am using them in active recovery days. i'm finding that active recovery is so deep, if you are intelligent about it effects are enhanced dramatically, DOMS is non-existant, energy levels soar.... good good fun never did look at meridian stretching even though it looks great. i got my plate full at the moment.

problem with RO filters is that the water is effectively dead. we need water pulsing with life force (a part of that is the mineral content, yes). perhaps consider upgrading to a better filter? two best filters i have ever come across: -wellness water filter -jupiter water alkalizer about $1000 AU each, so prob about $800 or so US. but well worth it, water is so important. as for minerals you have a few options.... i like adding himalayan crystal salt to my water, especially for when i am working out. there is also colloidal minerals, and i've found this in both a liquid form and powdered form.

yep. and what was rebuilt out of the ashes was far greater than i could have ever imagined

i knew someone of more reputation than myself would have confirmed all my hunches. i like these descriptions and feel it makes a lot of sense. as to the chakra/tan tien distinctions..... well think of chakras as nervous/endocrine system conglomerates, whereas the tan tiens themselves are merely nervous system only. anyways in all honesty i don't think it's necessary to be aware of any of this stuff for enlightenment..... the real process we are seeking happens at a different level than the gross or subtle bodies, it happens at the level of 'thetan' or 'soul'. clearing the energies of the lower bodies can definately helps though.

thanks... it's my own take on it though, i'm sure someone else of more reputation than me has made the same distinction... but i haven't come across it yet i have just been thinking about it some more and i think of it this way.... it's all energy. blood flow, endocrine flow, nerve flow, nutrient flow, oxygen flow, all of it is energy in some form or another. lets lump it all under the catch word "chi". we are existing in multi-dimensions, the way i see other dimensions as being is something along the lines of..... our sensory structures are able to pick up a very small amount of the available energy spectrum. the instruments we use in science are able to pick up a little more, but still there is this massive bandwidth of the energy spectrum that we have no way of detecting, even though it is around us always. this is the other dimensions. it's here now, we are in it, we just don't realise because we are tuned to this one particular frequency, the 5 sense frequency. now where am i going with this??? hmmmm kinda difficult to write down my thoughts as they aren't fully formed yet, but we are going with all our body processes as representing some kind of energy flow then obviously centres of this flow are going to be of significance to the entire energy flow within our body (and without in our energy field also). so what i am saying is it makes sense that there are dense structures in our gross physical body that relate directly to the overall energy flow in our subtle energy body. in the multidimensional nature of it perhaps there is more to these dense structures that we cannot, in our crudely conditioned ways (i believe we are capable of accessing much more of the universal spectrum than we currently do, but conditioning and fear limits us from doing so), perceive.... uggh i'm tangled up. someone have a tug at any threads poking out of here and perhaps we can get to the bottom of this mess

i have found from my own study that it all ties together, and very much with the gross physical body too. this has been linked to in taoist works as the chakras corresponding with the endocrine system. i feel that the tan tiens tie in with the nervous system. the sites of the major tan tiens are also the sites of large nerve ganglia (one in the gut for regulation of the intestines, one in the heart area for regulation of heart beat etc, and of course one in the brain) each of these three ganglia have roughly the same amount of neurons. we literally have a brain in our gut and one in our heart. the subtle or the energy body is what animates the physical, it's what causes the blood to flow through the veins, the nerve impulses to run, the hormones to move, the digestion, etc, etc ,etc. in my studies of scientology (i am NOT a scientologist by any means.... i'm not an anything, but a me) they outline this clearly breaking it up into three distinct but overlapping areas that cause this physical existance. there is the body (gross physical body), there is the genetic entity/GE (subtle body, energy body) and there is the thetan (soul, consciousness, the thing that is sitting in the passenger seat driving the body). just some thoughts...
