Bruce Almighty, That's my girl! ~~~ Philosophically, if one believes that one has 100% control over one's experience (like control freaks like me gotta have) then to make the system fly you have to explain where all these other mofos come from... Essentially, one attracts the people that one is vibrationally aligned with... It's Sid and Nancy, not Sid and Cher, for instance. If this is true then, essentially, Sid "created" Nancy as far as he's concerned. Once I learned that, my marriage improved 1,000%... if I wanted to improve our at-the-time poor relationship I didn't have to sit around for Mrs Yoda to be nicer, etc... I could do it singlehandedly. Once I began to raise my vibration on the subject of marriage, she had two choices: she could follow my lead or she could drift out of my life. Most of the time, people just follow your lead if you have acheived a stable higher vibration. That was the case here. Mrs Yoda doesn't buy into any of this Esther business, but none of that's necessary for the system to work just fine.

Mythmaker, google: dental recalcification pubmed for the documentation. Once I saw the science, I got pretty excited too. I've stopped toothpaste and am taking multminerals daily. Will report. -Yoda

cool!

Thanks for the commentary! So I ordered the processed 10:1 fo ti from herbalextractsplus.com I feel its presence maybe just a tiny bit. I'm backing off everything else I'm taking to see if I can get a better view of it. I'm just taking a tiny amount maybe a 1/4 teaspoon per day. I looked on dragonherbs first, but I didn't see just fo ti by itself. My dreams seem to have been different in the last few days. Maybe it's connected. My behavior in the dreams is more brash and, um, questionable but the background vibe is fairly serene and peaceful. I'm thinking that maybe I'm less under control b/c I feel safer possibly. I think there may be a connection with fo ti and these dreams. Also, I think that taking some sort of Chinese herb regularly is a nice way to get in touch with Asian past lives. Seriously.

I'm sure there are better locus of control tests out there than that one. But each belief system definitely carries its own reality from Daddy Yoda who couldn't lose a case even if all the Buddhas of the ten directions rose up against him to the new ager who gets assaulted by each passing chemtrail. People's beliefs are definitely really real. So why not believe something fun?

just a carton of BBs from a sporting goods store should work too, yes? Maybe pour a bowl of BBs and put a couple of crystals or something in the bowl. (Some guy on a forum was making a holy hand grenade with BBs.) Reminds me of the copper wire slapping stick in the Iron Shirt material.

Sounds intriguing!

Y'all are out of control! I got a 2... just goes to show, that tests aren't perfect! I want to live the "1" lifestyle!!

I'll be on the lookout for nourishing feelings! Are you on it right now? If so, how long have you been taking it?

Michael, Three weeks is a gold star plus a smiley face! -Yoda

Cool xray news! It's awesome to read first hand accounts! If anyone is interested in the science angle, Google: dental recalcification pubmed

so the radio signal dispersal thing is like the military's use of chaff to disperse enemy radar--maybe you could put a towerbuster on the dashboard to disperse police radar??? Probably not enough metal shavings to do the job, but still a fun thought. Actually, if you mount a towerbuster to the center of a hubcap that would totally do the trick. I've heard that crumped up tinfoil under the hubcap works too. Towerbuster hubcaps and wheels!

anyone know RJ's email address? There's a chembuster link there he'd be interested in. What the hell... I just ordered a lemurian pyramid in addition to my tower busters. Again... I've never had trouble with towers, chemtrails, etc... I used to have a nice little shrine set up. Perhaps this little bad boy can inch me back to a meditative atmosphere like like that.

who can afford it?!?! He's a hoot, though. There's lots of free stuff at his site like the chikung bible and the audio downloads, etc. His three rules are good: no masturbation, no alcohol, no drugs. Masturbation being non-yogic masturbation, of course. From what I've heard from people who've actually spent the money, it's the traditional material. Oh, there's a thread just below this one re: Gary being a bit hard to listen to. He is a total freak. He's what happens if one is able to master pranayama without mastering meditation.

Excellent summary. Also, he advocates solo aroused tailbone contraction exercises.

Karen, I'm looking forward to checking it out... which ones are your favs? -Yoda

I ordered some cell tower blockers. Not that I have anything against cell towers, etc. Will see if there's any groovy vibes I can pick up. I was thinking maybe this sort of thing could help people like the ex-taobum RJ's problem with atmospheric influences?

Cool post! I had bought a book of psychological tests and there was one that tested for this belief. In theory, I test at 100% self control with 0% being controlled by others, parents, spouses, children, circumstances, luck, bosses, gov't etc, with those being the usual suspects. God wasn't mentioned in my test, but I'm sure he could weigh in on either side of the debate. People tend to rate their lives as 50% within their own power and 50% under outside power give or take. The blurb said that happiness, health, success, etc is correlated with higher personal power scores. Of course, correlation doesn't mean causation, but that's all you can go on with social sciences. Imo, it's challenging for us philosophical types to get near the sensation of 100% personal power over your life unless you buy into reincarnation which would devictimize the particular circumstances one is born into. Furthermore, it's also hard to approach the sensation of 100% personal power if you buy too hard into reincarnation as then you'd feel victimized by your past. So that's why I'm a big fan of the new agey conscious creation in the moment school a la Esther, etc. Most people who achieve the sensation of near 100% personal control over their lives, or an aspect of their lives, really do so by discovering the power of mental focus to magically achieve their ends. Daddy Yoda is a big league corporate litigator and he definitely has this belief system in place in this aspect of life without any particular religious or philosophical ideas needed, although he does say, when pressed, that his belief that he wins every case does have some mystic/voodoo components, but isn't tied to any branded philosophy. Cool topic. My book is in deep storage right now, but I'll try to Google for an online test. -Yoda Here's a "locus of control" test I found by searching for psychological tests: http://www.psych.uncc.edu/pagoolka/LC.html just google locus of control test and they will all come up. Nice thread idea!!

fun!

Actually Snyder and I did get a totally unexpected $350 check in the mail, so he's all paid up, thanks!

Must... get... spinach... arghhhh... I'm such a junkie, I'll gladly take the risk but they won't even sell it to me. I'll have to find me a pusher... If I don't buy it near a school, I should be ok. Rush Holt rocks, btw. He was my physics professor back at Swarthmore College when I was going to be a high energy physicist. We decided to bag out on all this equation stuff.

Haven't read it. I recently got a case of pink eye in one eye. Could it be some kind of eye bug like that? Google told me to use all purpose, soft contact lense solution as eyedrops and it seemed to do a good job killing the tiny terrorists and healing my eye. ~~~ Nothing beats a water fast! ~~~ I've been drifting a bit towards cooked veganism recently and while it's nice, it's worlds away from raw. No comparison. Will drift back. ~~~ It's hard to do retention and get started on a raw diet. Totally can be done, just more challenging.

How did planethealer know we were talking about her? That was cool! Thanks for visiting! Don't mind our irreverence! Keep up the groovy vibe project! ~~~ Thaddeus, Snyder accepts paypal. Seriously though... just call his name and he's there for you. ~~~ So this thread got me thinking... I'm a real estate agent and I want to up my business but I want to do it not by working harder or anything freakish like that, but to channel it directly. So I thought about planethealer and Napoleon Hill's suggestion to visualize people who embody your goals in a particular subject area, etc and then I toggled through top producers in my market and chose the one that really embodies exactly the kind of business style, personality, vibe, etc that I want to portray. And then I got his photo and glued it to my computer desktop. Within hours of doing this, wouldn't you know it... a new sale, new listing, two new clients, strong showings, etc. Actually, that's too much business for my tastes!! When will I find time to post??? Should I shrink his photo? -Dazed in Degoba

Just got an email newsletter from Steve Cotter. Most interesting. Steve is a national kungfu full contact champion, and can do pistols holding 144lbs and is a long time chikung practitioner. One of the big guns at dragondoor.com. Check it out: On a personal note, I have recently had the great fortune to be accepted as a student to a most incredible qigong and gong fu master. Master Kao San-Lun lives across the country from me, but considering that at 130 lbs and nearly 60 years old he can throw me around the room like a rag doll with effortless motion, I will take every opportunity to study and learn from him. Not only that, but his level of power and knowledge of qigong is without peer. Having the opportunity to learn from Master Kao has allowed me to access the missing link of a successful life-long health and fitness---longevity. Read about Master Kao San Lun and his rare form of internal martial arts and qigong: www.xisuigong.com Just checked out the site. Nice 70's suit! Some, uh, mention of genital weightlifting. (I just don't see myself trying that out! Crazy asians!) based out of Tampa, FL.

Pornfields are popular in the midwest USA, but they do tend to clog up the computer. I'd say it's your own private heaven or holodeck at the very least. Speaking of images, I like the photos of Ug Krishnamurti... Any relation to the other Krishnamurti? I want the dirt! Mythmaker makes a good point re: cheery photos in general and holding up your hands to them. I should post photos of Snyder, my amazing psychic healing chipmunk, and make some cash off him before he dies. Maybe he can f*** up people's work environment if they don't donate? ( I got that one from Thaddeus... Synder's sending you some peace and quiet right now, btw.) Maybe Snyder and Ug could team up?
