Not that energy and such can't be transmitted online (personally I find even better than over the phone), but.... how well can that really work? Also what is up with the whole new empowerment each week crowd? That would be a LOT of practices to keep up! Anyways, I'm extremely skeptical. Though I'm not going to have one just to find out, as I wouldn't want the energy of someone who I feel isn't completely legit (I know in theory the human's energy isn't involved, but if the person isn't really enlightened, it still is somewhat).

I blame the both of you for my 15 minutes on the dharmawheel forums. (though I at least learned I can get a rainbow body empowerment over the internet).

Making fun of members and their paths, yeah that's good forum content...

OK so I just learned from some *other* forum that there is such thing as a rainbow body empowerment. Why doesn't it work? Is the empowerment er not very powerful? Are the empowerment ees slackers? Weren't they meant to manage it in this life anyways?

Making fun of people and paths... I (obviously) vote for the pit. This gets old.

Y'all or MoPai obsessed!

five finger vibram shoes, 24X7. They fix a LOT of foot problems. (just have to suffer the first 2 months of ouchyness, then all is good). They strengthen the feet, instead of weaken them like modern shoes do.

All those TTBers who spent some time here, then one day just never returned or logged in again.... I wonder.... .

Skype transmissions.... and people wonder why the rainbow body thing just isn't happening. Wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone too much now....

Any chance you could post a real usable link? I don't see anywhere to click out of that odd mobile mode... WHO IN THE FUCKING HELL WOULD TALK ABOUT THEIR TEACHER ATTAINING.... SOMETHING.... ON FACEBOOK?!

Not like folks go talking about such things when they do happen. Much less spectacular than rainbow body has happened and it is always kept very hush hush; I'm guessing this would be the case with the rainbow body thing too if it has happened. Or perhaps Buddhists are different and everyone brags about their accomplishments and the accomplishments of their friends and teachers. Btw, how would anyone know in this day and age? People vanish all the time, out of their apartments and such.

I have made a few posts about TTBs about not eating grains, and Bigu, and related stuff . I have found the grain free diet to be optimal for me personally. I managed it for a few years, then got to slacking with rice and rice noodles, but moving back into it again. In the way I was taught, potatoes are allowed just fine, which is good since I was training for half marathons when I was on the diet .

Hmmm you never know... personally I come on here when I need some grounding lol. Could be that way for others; release the pent up acting like a regular human being sort of thing... The reason I came up with this idea is because so many folks are different online than they are in person.

I have found that instead of thinking lower dantien and doing it with your brain, and your mind being there.... you feel as though you are there with body awareness. It's not a thought or visualization sort of thing, but more of a shift. Similar to when you shift to being in your whole body instead of just your head/brain. I know this doesn't sound like what you are asking, but.... it is a different sort of brain and thinking and a different sort of awareness, which starts off with just "feel it there". Sort of difficult to describe, so hopefully that makes sense . I'm far from 24X7 at it though!

Why is that? What is the difference in the practice? I think, I have been way to hard on myself! I have been expecting myself to be in that state 24X7, ideally. (I managed it for short period of time previously and have been wondering why I am not keeping it up). So thank you for that. I don't feel so much like a slacker now. Er, sorry for the derail Zoom!

I just wikied samaya; this forum is screwed! Hmm, I'm curious now, how does that whole with whom one associates thing work if you are volunteering to help people out? (for example hanging around some some of the homeless folks who are addicts and lead very uhm, inpure lives?) The reason I ask this is that I could swear things went better in a spiritual sense when I was regularly volunteering and hanging out with such folks. It was quite interesting actually. Also a lot of odd good luck for the lot of us. Then also what about one's students? Is anyone who teaches me doomed?

I think it is the same reasons that very few pianists become masters, why so few martial artists become any good at it, why so few soccer players make the pro level, why so few Mo Pai folks can produce scientifically verifiable results... Most don't practice much, many don't have the right focus when they practice, not everyone has had a good teacher, and (though I know y'all disagree with me) natural talent plays into it. Actually speaking of natural talent, many Buddhists (and Daoists) beleive that those who come in with natural talent have done this stuff in previous lives. So perhaps that is why so few make it, because it takes several lifetimes to master, and there aren't all that many people in their 30th lifetime or whatever, who chose that path, and practice, and etc.

Hey . a. Read Agrippa b. Reading/learning is nearly irrelevant, it is only about the actual doing, daily c. Perform Abramelin d. Golden Dawn doesn't go very deep in the outer grades, imy/ymmv (Agrippa is better anyways ) e. We have a Hermetic and occult section on here btw...

If folks get frightened that easily, they likely need to do some more inner work .

Each and every spiritual state and experiences changes our lives too; we are just a bit to thick to get it at first. Being famous isn't all that; ask most who are, after the novelty has worn off (generally have to wait until they are sober though). Instead of one thing (I've had a few pretty big ones), I sort of like to focus on the new ones each day. The more you practice, the more things fit into place, more often.

Is it a bad thing that I had to think for a moment to remember what my age is? lol

Sooooo you folks think the 4th book was written by him? (apologies if you have already mentioned about this and I had forgotten).
