I definitely find that when you take on a student seriously, there is a strong link, and what they do can affect ones life. So you know when they are doing some things that are not good lol. Also some beleive that each initiation you give shortens your lifespan and decreases your natural luck. I'm not entirely sure why either of these things would happen since it's the divine or whatever doing the initiations and/or teaching, but it does still seem to affect the physical for some reason.

I'd personally go for Robert Bruce over Bardon for out of body projection; he covers far more.

How about compared with other Tibetans from the same area? Sometimes it is environmental, or lack of nutrition, or etc.

It's possible I didn't reply to this thread yet... just in case not, and if I did it needs repeating. It isn't about spells, you take up a system of magic, practice it every single day. When you need something it just comes to be (this stuff really increases your luck and etc.) or do a quick working from that particular path. That is how magic works. You can't just take a random spell out of some system you don't even practice and expect spectacular results.

.... volunteer all day everyday . So recently I hit burnout again from answering questions and teaching and helping a myriad of people. I also got behind at work from this too. And half of y'all think I should always do this for free? Do you realize how many people I *already* turn down each week? At least the ones that pay help me to take a little time off of work after so I can recuperate. You really think teaching is just about writing or saying words? Really? You wouldn't beleive how trashed on I get sometimes when I say no to people who ask for me to do stuff for free for them! Trade, that works out 10% of the time, the rest never come through with their half, or the hours end up being 4 to 1. Also I don't see you doing your job for free. How do you pay rent? Now I think there should be sliding scales (though I have found people sometimes lie a lot about their income when you do it that way), and not charging 10x what the standard rates are, but that is just me. I'm most definitely good with someone finding a different teacher if they feel my rates are to high . Teachers are a dime a dozen these days with the internet and all. OK rant over, I do teach for free 80% of the time, but I don't feel I would be doing anything wrong no matter what % it is, nor other teachers being wrong for charging for teachings. I know some people do teach for free, a few hours per week all together. There are others who teach for free many hours, that is awesome too. Then there are those who teach for donations, that works out pretty well sometimes and not so much other times. All is good, there shouldn't be any YOU HAVE TO police. Sure I wrote this from my perspective, but just imagine the teachers who are actually well known and famous.. I figure they get 10-100 times the amount of requests and emails I do!

Sounds familiar .

You're back!!!! Btw, if you guys do need any tech help, Flo was awesome at it.

Video or it didn't happen... So how's the first couple of days on the job been? If it's to slow, I could start another yin qi thread, or perhaps debating existence...

Welcome . We have a hermetic section btw, in case you haven't run into it yet...

(vegetarians don't watch this)

I think the only eluded to similarities between the 2 paths/topics being how quickly and for how long, TTBs threads go downhill for.

Chang if you are ever bored, have fun with IP research in the backroom . *quickly hides before anyone notices she's logged on lately*

Were you guys debating something which doesn't really exist again?

You're new around here aren't you?

Has anyone been practicing the decreases for the past 7 years?

1. First and foremost, take it slow! Always be sure to pay attention to your partner's needs and desires. 2. Start the foreplay! Let her warm up to you with some tender cuddling. 3. Kiss her slowly and sensually. Caress her neck and shoulders to deepen your connection. 4. Slowly but confidently massage every inch of her skin. If she's receptive to it, try using your tongue. 5. Once she's comfortable, invoke the sigil of a long-dead Elder God of your choosing. 6. Wrap the unknown terror of the universe around her very soul like a warm cloak of the finest sable. If done right, this will really get her going! 7. Shed your human form and become the physical embodiment of Athnaug'r Un Dre'gn , Lord of the Ever Burning Dread. 8. Try introducing a fun new twist like oils or scented candles. 9. Open your Secret Mouth and let the Song of Madness spill forth from your cursed lips. 10. If all the above steps are performed correctly, your partner will be begging for more. At least they would be, if their mind weren't trapped forever in a pitch-black ocean of everlasting insanity, you STUD!

I would be terribly disappointed if they didn't have some sort of Daoist talisman sewn into their hats they wear!

Maple syrup . PS almond flour instead of regular flour! Yum.

Wow, that's going to be one full psyche ward of university professors... just sayin .

Well it doesn't come out of thin air, you do magic to get money, and you get more hours at work or a raise... lol.

The summer is definitely not the best time to mod, don't blame you there! Have fun.

Well actually I don't know a proper term for it, I just call it out of body a foot . (not really "astral" projection per se) All that awesome and odd stuff we see in trance, some paths say to ignore them as they are just distractions. However when I'm done I'm usually at least for a few minutes thinking well that was neat. As long as I don't attach myself to such things all is good.

Oh this will go over well with your family... "sorry can't do 4th of July; I really need to get some good long meditation sessions in! (btw, our holiday is today)

So so true!

It is obviously apparent to me that you just need to take up Bagua circle walking! Actually that is one reason I chose Bagua practice over some others, works really well. The Zhan Zhuang can get really painful after a bit, so moving is good (for me).
