Apepch7, So I read about the Discourse of a Man with his Ba or the man who was tired of life: http://www.scribd.com/doc/5997476/Ancient-...Wisdom-Readings Interesting stuff. The vibe I had in mind for a guardian angle was from the Greco/Egyptian magical papyrii about summoning a spirit, feeding it, creating a partnership and he/she will do your bidding as long as you don't use him to score you some pork. This Ba thing was very interesting... there seemed to be a fair amount of antagonism between the two but in the end some sort of union. If you could comment on the role of these two types of "angels," that'd be awesome! There seemed to be an allusion to the disbelief in reincarnation where the wife wouldn't be allowed to be reborn. Your pal, Yoda

Apepch7, Well get writing then!! I read Egyptian Yoga which wasn't impressive. The Shamanic Pyramid Texts was decent. Search for Omm Sety was good. Anna, Grandmother of Jesus was a blast but only indirectly on Egypt. I've got another on order, Initiation. Supposed to be like Omm Sety, based on past life memory. I enjoyed that Thoth emerald tablet book floating around the net, too. I liked the Egyptian/Greek magical papyrii. So, essentially channeled stuff for the most part. Haven't seen anything that really includes a scholastic angle like you have or approaches the subject in a linear, rigorous fashion. I think there's a real market for your knowledge. You should consider it. Your pal, Yoda

very cool!

I think Scotty said it well that for very physical changes taking up jogging is the way to go. Emotionally, my vibration has been gradually rising. In terms of Reiki, my abilities have probably improved threefold. Am I a better parent or husband? Definitely, but the bar wasn't set very high to begin with. Spiritually, definitely but ditto the above.

That's a hard question to address for Kunlun or for any other path... the further one goes the longer the path gets... Having said that, the practice is fun and addictive and mindblowing. I finally feel like I have a practice where I'm getting somewhere even though I can't articulate it. And I like it that the practice changes up from time to time and stays quirky and that there are lots of other taobums going through it too. I think that on the whole, I'm gradually getting back into balance in all senses of the term. As balanced as I'm capable of being, at least.

de paradise, I just reread this thread and had missed seeing your post. Thanks for that. Have you read about the AYP stance on snipping? Also, Cat's idea of just imagining sounds like a good one too. Failing the kunlun energy???? Hey, it's just too bad for them that they landed on the taobum square!! Crazy guru, weird practice, grunting sounds, black holes, body parts interphasing(!), opinions flying in all directions... Hard to improve upon that! Your pal, Yoda

can't wait!!

Froggie, Cool thoughts, thanks! I liked the rods of Ra link. I have some Egyptianhealingrods.com and they are really amazing. Their angle is that they've been conditioned inside a 78 foot pyramid which is supposed to enhance their effectiveness. I'm also packin' tektite! Your pal, Yoda

And I'd like to announce my candidacy for President!! Great article, Apepch7!! (what does Apepch and 7 mean I wonder.) What sort of food is good for the Ka? I've heard from new agey sources a diet higher in fruit and low in caffeine... I'm so so on this front. Your pal, Yoda

Yogani says that kechari is translated as "flying through space" and is the secret to celibacy (as in they are getting theirs!! ) I'll check it out, of course.

Anything black: tourmaline, onyx, obsidian, tektite, jet, etc. I have a rock shop in town but I'm sure you can order rocks on the net too. Good for grounding and absorbing negativity at the end of the day or for getting kids to calm down and go to sleep. I believe that black rocks help me to connect to the center of the earth. Tektite may have an outer space vibe as well. Or just anything naturally black that you might find on the ground. I bet coal could work, but pretty messy of course.

Teddy, The five tibetans staved off the onset of grey hairs in my late 20s but didn't have the firepower to ward them off in my late 30s. Just turning back the clock is kind of a dry motivation. I'd say just live your life in a way that maximizes positive feelings and the rest will fall into place. Having said that, I've heard that psychic facelifts from nonphysical dimensions are possible... Your pal, Yoda

I couldn't get it to fly after that, but it didn't carry any bliss, amrita, etc so I let it be. PMing the Man is hit or miss.

biocircuits! I tried a set of those about 15 years ago! They were nice and relaxing. You can get the same vibe going by placing your right hand over your pelvis and your left hand around the neck region. Go with direct skin contact is best. And try different hand placements too. Or play around with Reiki hand placements with a partner. My fav bang for the buck is a dark black rock when it comes to energy devices.

Welcome to taobums! Your name reminds me of that Club Nouveau tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z08KtQ0GWVs Your pal, Yoda

riverheron, Great post!!!! Do you have an experience of trees waking up as well? Your pal, Yoda

I wonder if other monuments are also warming up?

Apepch7, I second Scotty's sentiments!! Thoth has smiled upon us bums by sending you here as far as I'm concerned. I promise to study your OCD tome carefully!! What books would you recommend for learning about the spiritual side of the equation? Your pal, Yoda

Cat, If it's going spontaneously it's fine. (Jmo... you might pm Mantra if you have any questions... I have no idea what I'm talking about, just going off second hand information via Lama Oscar.) Dr Andy, you might also pm Mantra68 about any particular questions especially to see if it's cool to disappear before getting the transmission. Also, if you don't trust the system or the teacher 100%, I'd definitely hold back on interphasing. My one time doing kechari was when I had read about a third eye exercise involving cutting a ping pong ball in half, taping them over my eyes, and just sitting there with my eyes open. Kind of boring, but then sexual energy rose up, my tongue went into kechari and I had some sort of third eye gasm. You pal, Yoda

Apepch7, Thanks for sharing! Anything you'd like to share about the mystic/shaman or "pyramidiot" side of the equation, I'd love to hear about. I'm reading "Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt" right now. Basically, it sounds like they've studied the basics of Egyptology, meditated in the temples, and are interacting/imagining to interact with the gods. It's a nice book. Rex, Omm Sety related a fictionalized account where she had an argument with the spirit of a high level Egyptian about the grave robbing ways of Egyptologists in a rather threatening way to her. Since she was both Egyptologist as well as shaman, she was persuasive in her argument that there's a huge distinction between grave robbing/desecratioin and what Egyptologists do and that in the long run, there's much more dignity and respect that has developed and will continue to develop through the efforts of Egyptologists as imperfect as it is. And, in a sense, reverence towards their ways continues to this day thanks to Egyptologists. Yours, Yoda

Cat and Dr Andy, Nice discussion! Dr Andy, it sounds like you might like to go to a seminar! I'm glad you are grooving on the practice and are conservative about stacking practices!! Don't know anything about tongue interphasing, but kechari is covered in detail at advancedyogapractices.com in the book section and the forum. Re: cutting the tongue, ayp says that it may sometimes be necessary just a tiny bit at a time. I can't do kechari normally, but I had one experience where my tongue stretched on its own for kechari, but I lost the flexibility right after that. I don't know for sure, but it sounds like doing kechari can cause problems when mixed with kunlun unless it happens spontaneously in which case it is very beneficial. Your pal, Yoda

Apepch7, I've been curious as to 3 and 5 in the Egyptian system... thanks for any thoughts! So you've obviously studied up... If you feel like chatting about it, what sort of affinity do you have for this material? What have you gotten out of it? What other systems have you studied? Your pal, Yoda

I have a pal in a psychiatric ward who isn't crazy (long story). I tried to teach him kunlun but they keep him too sedated.
