I thought that too, and now regret my decision lol, poor innocent back. I just wear a jacket when using it until I get used to it. If you go buy one in person they will let you try both out .

That vid didn't even impress TTBers! Many felt it was faked...

It was a joke regarding pearls before swine.... I meant it in the sense of perhaps not the best audience for spiritual info.

Debating whether I would consider the scientific community as "swine" or not .

Lack of proper training and guidance imo. Also such things take decades to have most of those sorts of things happen. Well or sometimes people born with it... and half of those wish they could just have it go away.

I'm not going to argue that one. I'd say 95% though lol; and I'd call them more folks with good intentions, but no talent or proper teaching .

Yes, most definitely. The high level practices are not for everyone, or the general public generally. Due to dangers to people, sacred teachings not respected and a myriad of other reasons. Most I have talked to have the view of that they have no desire for the general public to know and see no reason to have it proven to them. They tend to feel that those meant to receive the teachings will find them, or the teachings/teacher will find the student. I know this isn't popular, but I have seen it time and time again with many paths. Since we aren't trying to convert people, why would we need to prove it? Though I really wish the damn medical community would accept some things which don't come in pill form *grumble*.

I feel that such things are from any focused practice which involves a lot of meditation. I say focused because just random I love the energy blissed out meditation doesn't really work for accurate perceptions from all I've seen. Now getting past one's own ego and perceptions and own aura, to make sure you are getting unbiased accurate info instead of your own stuff, or thoughts, well that takes practice and training. Preferably with the help of a skilled and experienced teacher to let one know if/when the student has their head up their behind. A LOT of people *think* they are perceiving these things, but are not accurate at all, or only half the time and etc.

Due to the bumps they actually get exact points . Tightness and/or pain blocks energy... release that and the energy can move again.

rumble roller and rumble roller brand massage balls, so awesome! Expensive but so worth it!

Actually most or all of those he listed are pretty standard and common amongst practitioners. The only thing is he had his own personal way he experienced each one, and there are variations. For example the colours and places within the body he mentioned are not the same for everyone. They are pretty much just side affects (though pretty useful ones) of practice, most practices actually, done on a regular basis.

Had #6 once in a mall a few days before christmas with the crowds shopping *shudder*. Here I was expecting thoughts about the joy of giving lol. Not so much.

A very old and worn out negative stereotype.

Oh I don't know about that... https://www.google.ca/search?q=off+grid+cave+houses&client=firefox-a&hs=xNS&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=fnv5U7rBL-a8igKQ54CAAg&ved=0CBwQsAQ&biw=729&bih=317

I would say the same to you . But I would change magical to athiest science...

Oops, didn't read the advanced Taoist part . I'm sure in some reality or another I'm an advanced Taoist... Thanks for your reply, good contemplations.

Also there are different teachers with different teaching styles (and some even adapt depending on the needs of the student (notice I didn't say wants lol). Hmmm, I just thought about it. I have been training under my current magic teacher for 10 years now! Sometimes you just get a good match. Before that though not as long, and there have been a couple of really bad ones which I fortunately didn't stay that long with (even though I was new at the time).

I'd say create your own reality. If you want a teacher badly enough do a prayer or a working for the right one to come your way/you to find them . It works really well!

Reality if what helps and improves the wellbeing and spirit/soul of oneself and others. Illusion is that which doesn't .

Did you ever practice any of the stuff in the Bagua vids I sent you?

Yep, I'm cursing everyone this week with lots of wealth, luck, success and health!

ROFL the reviews ROFL

Though, just like the other topics I post in, I highly highly recommend finding an in person teacher. Though the alchemy course on his site will do in the meantime. One awesome thing about finding a teacher is that usually said teacher can guide you through doing many of the processes without spending thousands on lap equipment .

Nah most wear off if you don't keep them up, especially the western magick sort. Though there are some in certain paths which get stronger over time if nothing is done to get rid of them.
