That actually answers a lot of my questions, thank you Friend.

I'm curious how if they are closed door/secret techniques with the empowerments.. why and how would they give them out during public workshops? Or are the public workshops maybe not the full real deal? I honestly don't know. It is very interesting that they are given to more than a very select few. I also wonder how a workshp full of people could be given empowerments... some might have blockages, or not be ready. I would assume they are sent home?

If I could "like" the above post 100 times I would .

Oops, I was going a bit off topic there (without realizing). Perhaps a few different paths have similar things.

Alwayson, I'm curious how the empowerments would change this, and what would be the drawbacks to not having them? (please bear in mind I know nothing of empowerments, at least not called that). The reason I'm curious is that I know of many people who practice very similar rituals, and have myself as well, though Songstan you do go into more depth/detail .

Hmmm, if so, the evil person would have to have no guilt about such acts, yet at the same time have an open heart center, IMO anyways. I have met some really nasty folks who use their abilities to do some pretty horrid stuff, yet who spend much of their time doing asana, meditating, connecting with the ALL, and so forth. Their energy feels horrid though!

More can come in once those are cleared .

Recently my teacher told me that if everything was even keel and perfect all the time, we would have nothing to work on. Fortunately the more cultivation we do, the more even keel things do get though .

This is actually a "are all paths valid" thread, not a promote the heck out of Mo Pai, and whether it is valid or not" thread. (since there are at least half a dozen others for that.

Robert Bruce is awesome (one of my fave authors) but seriously, for something like that the salt trick I mentioned, and the vinegar trick Defender mentioned would take care of things. Also if one was going to hire out to get rid of stuff, someone local to them would work much better.

I would also recommend seeking out an in person teacher alongside the videos, since you have a pre-existing health condition. Btw, qigong is awesome for kidney stuff .

Quite often I have found that when people ask for spells to be done for them that they are not fully aware of the limitations of magic. So many folks think that suddenly one can improve their looks many times with a spell, help them to win millions in the lottery and so forth. Meanwhile it is more like magic increases your odds and can bring help along depending on the situation. Actually your local occult shop might prove more useful in this regard. They have to be good to stay open, or might know some good local ones. To keep a website going only takes $3 per month and being able to write. I would say 99% of the online spell sites are bogus, unfortunately. Well also, you did mention not having much money, most workers will charge a couple hundred for difficult work. Also more detail about your current situation would help. Generally on these forums we focus on working for ourselves and creating our own magic. What I might recommend is describing your situation and asking if anyone has any recommendations for how you can work on it. The recommendations would be anything from purely physical mundane suggestions, to visualization techniques, to thought patters, so perhaps simple spell ideas.

Spells aren't going to work unless you have some experience in the particular system they are from. PS spell begging is kinda rude.

Seems like just a bunch of copy/paste?

After you have been practicing for a number of years in a particular path, they all tend to work most of the time. It is more about the situation than the spell. Some situations are more difficult, and others just aren't meant to be.

We don't delete folks if we find posts inappropriate. We more talk to the person, or perhaps give a warning if it continues... and in the rare occasion a temporary ban. You would have to do a LOT more than post a link to be deleted! Now if all 20 of your posts are for the same link, then we would need to talk lol.

Complain about how insomnia and that it is the heart season and do additional heart exercises mostly... No wait, that is what *I* do during hte summer.

Sometimes things attach themselves to statues. Throw some salt water around your room and on your bed, and on yourself. That should cover it. Burn incense after.

Thank you, it really helps. It is much easier with multiple eyes on it.

No, more like if you don't have a lot of internal turmoil, are a decent person, aren't an emotional wreck and so forth. The positive and happy mood and having fun does help though. Btw, fear does attract them, so just scrap any of that. Really it's no big deal, they generally only cling and attach to people who are really troubled, alcoholics, really really poor health and so forth. Also, it's really not as big of a deal as you are thinking. There is no reason they would go following your average person home, or messing with your average person. Is there some reason you are asking btw?

Welcome to the TaoBums Sandstone12 .

See my "like attracts like" comment above, that pretty much sums it up. You attract what you are.

Yes. You explained it yourself pretty well. Also alcoholics. No really big or fancy entities generally, you know some dead person who lived a miserable life and was a drug addict prowling skid row for people using to feed off of sort of thing. Like attracts like.

I found a mention of this reposted by Michael Saso. It is a blog post outlining the practices for this particular holiday, but also the changed and differing beliefs around it. Very interesting reading. For example: Tian Kuang Day - Opening of Heavenly Gate 2013 (癸巳蛇年天貺日-天門開http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2013/07/tian-kuang-day-opening-of-heavenly-gate.html Thoughts? I will quote part of it below Many other interesting articles in there as well.

He has a blog?! I just see the awesome stuff he posts on facebook... I love how much material he shares, and I figure he knows enough and has done decent enough research to post decent links.
