  1. For Clarity on Philip Toledo

    I like you. So please take this in the spirit that it was intended... If you did meet Max in the physical you'd see exactly what you wanted to. Order beer not tea. Gloria

  4. The Paradoxical Commandments were written by Kent M. Keith and published in 1968 but were attributed to Mother Teresa. For those interested in the original version: http://www.kentmkeith.com/commandments.html
  5. A thought on Max

    I have 7 of the Toledo videos purchased during Max's mysterious missing years. The Max I met in NJ was the Max from the videos. Although in the videos Max was very very thin.. wiry. But at the time he said he wasn't eating very much just basically surviving on tea. From what I saw in NJ Max sure does like to eat, so there's more bulk and muscle now. And in the videos he actually had hair. Same sense of humour and playfulness. The feeling I got from the tapes and the person were the same.
  6. What is the Kunlun Energy

    Hi Wun Yuen Gong, Have you tried doing a keyword search to access the older posts to answer your questions? There's lots of good information and personal experiences you can read through. If you still have more questions after doing so, or find yourself needing more reassurance to study with Max or from his book, then please consider that perhaps your vacillation is your answer. These practices may not be for you, or the timing may not be right for you to begin them now. Most definitely consider incorporating a good grounding regime into your existing daily practice to help strengthen and calm you..seems like perhaps it would be a good idea for you to get a handle on this first. You'll find from reading the posts that everyone is pretty much agreed that this crucial to keep you balanced throughout. All the best to you.

  8. Abraham-Hicks Taobum CD club

    I'll let you know after listening to ones you sent me Yoda. I have to get my CD player fixed (or buy a new one) cause mine kinda blew up last night...I wanted to bring it into another room and when I pulled the plug there was a small explosion and burst of flames...scary stuff. Anyway the light show actually ate metal fraying the outlet cover and CD plug. Will return then ASAP so you can pass them on.

  11. kunlun ears

    I think it was RP...I've got in my notes that when you practice it you might hear a ringing in your ears or smell fragances... I've heard sounds to since I was kid....a roaring sound like a train coming, ringing, high pitched tones, and other interesting sounds. It's pretty much 24/7 but normally bearable, always becoming more pronounced when I pray or meditate or do anything remotely "spiritual". During the NJ workshop when it was time to practice Gold Flower it kicked in really quickly for me...took off on it's own and made it's way to the different positions ending with a brilliant flash of light and then bringing me into close down. Max came by then and I heard him say that I was in close down and needed to lift my feet, so I did thinking I should listen to him....but it just didn't feel right, it felt like I was done...so I went with my feeling and went back into close down. Anytime I've resisted moving the way kunlun wanted me to has always resulted in a headache that just won't go away so I've learned to listen to what's inside.
