Yeah so the oldest philosophy of India is Samkhya and it's based on the "three gunas" and Taoism has the same thing - the "yang" energy is like raja and the Emptiness is like sattva and yin is like tamas of Samkhya. So we think of tamas as a negative thing but as alchemy teaches -- it starts and ends with "lead" or jing energy - and so the denser emotional physical energy becomes the means to focus to create stronger yang energy as prana and then to go into deeper Emptiness as shen energy. I mean it is a "three in one unity" -- so anyway..... to say it's really "four" gets into nondualism.... But so if you consider the oldest philosphy of India - even China - you get into the secret Afro-dravidian cultures from the original cultures out of Africa that spread around the coasts of the world back around 70,000 BCE..... Anyway so these older cultures -- the language is tonal like Tamil language in India - the trance dance training is given stronger focus -- like the origin of Taoism is considered to be from matrifocal shamans - females - doing trance dancing. So also yang is the Perfect Fifth music interval and yin is the perfect fourth and so this is also found in Pythagorean philosophy - but people just look this over. Actually all human cultures have this 1-4-5 music intervals. Only in the West were these tunings then "compromised" into a materialistic philosophy that is the secret origin for Western mathematics, science, etc. Anyway so the original human culture - the Bushmen of Africa going back to 100,000 BCE -- that is a matrifocal culture. The oldest ritual is the menstruation inititation trance dance and it's found in the two oldest tribes with slightly different languages - so that means the music trance dance ritual is the common denominator of human origins from 100,000 BCE. How was it matrifocal -- it has to do with language originating out of lunar synchronization with menstruation and this being the jing Earth-Lunar energy but as psychic energy it connects with the pre-natal vitality as spirit energy - and this is a cosmic energy of other higher holographic dimensions..... A sort of psychic consciousness of the Earth-- Moon relation that governs life on Earth through the information stored in water which is what we are made up mainly. So the Emptiness is reflected materially through the female energy. Yeah so in the original human cultures the females controlled land relations as the rights to water, etc. But the main principle was that "N/om" should not be hoarded - the energy should be shared. The females sang all night to transmit their jing energy aka N/om energy into the males and then the males trance danced all night to transform the N/om energy into !Xia the trance laser holographic energy. But that energy is used to feed back and transform and heal physical matter again - and so goes back into N/om energy again. All the higher alchemical powers were achieved by the Bushmen but that was not really the focus of the culture - instead it was on the healing energy and this was directed by the females, as I mentioned - so the females would throw water onto the males to keep the males back into their body to heal the females. So I would say Taoism also has this practical focus - it is more focused on the body being healed - on longevity - and also on Feng Shui - to heal the land - to even heal the weather -- and in that sense - the training is tied to animal wisdom just as the original hunter gatherer cultures considered animals to be spirit guides..... And also in the Tao Te Ching the Emptiness is described as the spirit of the valley which is female and that yin is more powerful since -- like water - it can dissolve other things -- it flows and takes the shape needed, etc. Qigong is considered to be 5,000 years old from these older matrifocal rituals of trance dancing. The monotheistic religions are built upon this older more lunar matrifocal healing energy - but so the focus shifted to not just a Solar emphasis but just excluding the female energy also and trying to hide it - and so the ritual priests became more left brain focused - using right hand technology. So the ritual geometry was used actually more for materialistic means and actually based on a separation of the whole mind from the power of the lower body which is what is needed to activate the whole mind - that is the "harmony of heaven and Earth" - so the ritual priests are based on "separation of heaven and earth" which then cuts off the love energy that is the harmonization process..... In the trance healing "God" watches the process and guides it - or the Emptiness -- but it's actually also the Cosmic Mother - I call it "female formless awareness." The patriarchial religions try to claim that it is genderless but that is based on left-brain logic which is symmetric and so goes against the inherent complementary opposites of reality as defined by this "three in one" unity. It can not be contained visually - and so it is through an older verbal, listening process that is an infinite process. And so the "source" of the yin energy is the formless Emptiness but it is also female as the Cosmic Mother energy - so a deeper love into the "womb-tomb" - beyond death and birth. Or like Kali as the Cosmic Mother - is really Kala as time that goes in reverse from creation to destruction and back to creation again by reversing the direction of space. So it is like the frequency of time itself is able to change the direction of physical space - and this works through the light spirit energy which is hidden inside the physical female jing energy - prenatal vitality is the spirit light energy. So this listening process as meditation is resonating with this female formless awareness which then builds up the energy again -- and the more we do it then the more harmonized our energy is and so the faster that time is reversed - space collapses more quickly into the Cosmic Mother Emptiness which is a realm of pure light as the mind energy - the yang energy -- then reverses or changes physical reality back into yin. So there are always mystical movements -- reform movements -- Buddhism is a mystical reform movement - it is not inherently patriarchal but it can easily fall back into the patriachal culture because the root -- the rotten root of patriarchy does not get cut out -- it does not get fully exposed. But that is the same with all the later reform movements -- as patriarchy continues - and the destruction escalates and intensifies. The ancient matrifocal origins of humanity as steeped in the Dream Time as a permanent eternal vision realm has the basic message that humans are NOT in control - no human is in control -- no matter how "godly" - only the Universe or the Emptiness or the Cosmic Mother is in control - secretly playing with physical reality but never really bothered by it - all the suffering and pain are just "growing pains" - learning tools that then enable greater love to be experienced - and this process actually happens outside of spacetime itself. And so people should take care of ecology because they don't have a choice! Because we accept this greater control but there is a specific harmonization process through this yin-yang-Emptiness dynamic that has been passed on to us by the ancient shamanic traditions from trance dance and yoga and Tai Chi, etc. So Buddhism builds on that tradition but should be part into the same perspective as Christianity and Islam and Judaism and Krishna, etc. -- the Solar Gods. My book goes into this more but it's not very clear and so not very readable and besides literacy goes against this real shamanic consciousness.

So that is what happened! When I started reading about magick and practicing I unfortunately had a run in with a under cover satanist who used magick for nefarious purposes. I did not find out who this person really was until I began noticing astral attacks and such when I would dream at night. This individual would ask me to hold magickal 'objects' for him, stupid me not knowing that i was merely giving this predator a link into my subconscious. Eventually I cut off communication with this person, but this is very real. Especially when your dealing with a individual who has low self-esteem and blames the world for their problems. I learned the hard way, but it was a lesson well learned. I studied the the phenomenon so much I can literally feel when others are unknowingly looking to control me or take my free will away. You can feel it near the stomach area, as if some one tries to take a hold. Conflict of interest, to say the least. What are some good techniques besides grounding to dislodge others? I usually tend to push back when I feel this phenomenon happening or imagine some one's arm breaking. I guess I should be asking what is a good form of exorcism rather than banishing...? Should be on the list! lol! Thanks for posting this by the way!

Not their concern, nor responsibility. There isn't much they can do about it anyway, other than taking time out of their day to come here and let everyone know that Shifu lin is not a student of their school. That's about all they can do. I've asked you specifically before what it is you expect them to do about it, I can't think of anything they can do about it ethically short of launching a psychic assault or lawsuit on Micah. Neither of those seem like things they'd be interested in doing. The school is closed and I don't think they much care what scam artist of the week is swindling fools out of their money, under the mo pai banner. They were kind enough to come here and make an official statement that Shifu Lin is not a student in their school. Instead of DEMANDING they answer every inane question you can dream up (even though they already answered it a few paragraphs prior), or DEMANDING they do something about a con artist, how about YOU do something about it.

Hahaha. Almost forgot to post this. Woke up from a dream the other morning. I was in a hostage situation with a bunch of people. In my hand I held a chunk of bread. Before I woke up, I had heard a voice say "Were making a life for a chance to live, not a chance to die..." I then dropped the bread on the ground for the hostager and woke up as I began to walk away. The bread symbolized life, possibly Christ. Beats me. But I found it rather ironic concerning this ongoing thread. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear, will know. Good Day!

@tongkosong, thank you for your kind reply... If you don't mind, I have this question of mine that purely flows out from my own curiosity... If the being of light was a real event, what about the message delivered by the so called "mysterious" person and a mysterious challenger that offered Master Chang's senior student to come and study with him ? Did both events really take place ? How did the mysterious challenger offer Chang's senior student ? did he appear in a dream, used a written message, or came in physical person ? I'm really sorry, I hope I'm not going too far...

I don't know why there is so much wonder about setting your energy field 3ft or higher. That is kind of basic stuff. I learned that when I was in my early teens and refined it while learning Taiji Quan under Sifu Rudy Curry in Queens, NY. The practice for it is really easy, but just takes a person to diligently practice it...consistently. Then there are practices which one does to strengthen the will and intent as well as strengthen the field of energy being extended. Over the yrs I have refined it and worked on several different ways, which aren't very much different actually. hahaha I always say, when the time comes to actually have your life in danger, then the skill presents itself. That way, one doesn't get caught up in delusions of grandeur. On occasions, when I felt some drunkard was following me, I would extend my energy to the space around me and he would end up walking, confused about it, away from me while he was trying to walk towards me. Then I would contract the field and he would flow right back in my direction, and then when he got closer, I would send him out again. hahahaha I remember that day, the drunk guy's friend was across the street laughing his drunk butt off while this happened for about 3-5 minutes. Then I turned to the guy and said, Have a nice day! I work here (at the time I was working in a school in China, and he followed me with his friend, scheming on the strange looking white guy in Changpao.) Anyway, when I said good bye to him, I stopped playing with the field, and he stopped dead, looked at me and shook his head.. I over heard him telling his friend, what the hell was that...? I couldn't get near him..what the hell. Its no super power, and definitely nothing to be all in wonder about. Can I do it now? I don't know, I really haven't tried to do anything "different" in many years..no need to really. If anyone is interested, here you go. The first step, which can be the only step if you adjust the intent. haha Stand feet shoulder width apart, bend knees very slightly, pull down the tail bone to straighten the back, pull up the head by the crown and tuch the chin down slightly. Drop the chest at the sternum, just a bit. Tongue to the roof of mouth, and anal lock with slight, very slight, contraction, and keep it steady. Now the easy stuff: Hands to the sides of your body, palms facing your legs. Rock forward on your feet, slowly, and when you have your weight on the front toes, balls of feet, slowly rock back on to the heels, placing your weight on the heels, and maintaining balance, without falling over. Then, repeat forward and back. Do as long as you like, but no shorter than 10 minutes. HAHA Then, stop slowly, and center the weight in the center of the foot, letting the pressure move throughout the foot completely. Now rock side to side, but this time, do not lift your foot off the ground. When weight is at the left foot, outer side of the foot (lateral side), the pressure and weight on the right should be on the inner part of the right foot (medial side). Then, continue rocking slowly, back and forth. When you want to go back and forward, stop at the center, and settle the pressure, and then proceed. There are 8 directional rocking, and 1 directional extension and 1 directional expansion. If you want commentary on this practice, set up a thread and bring on the questions. BUT, such a practice, free of charge, so easy and simple, without vengeful spirits and what-nots, along with the only requirement of diligent practice, patience, and dropping the ego...I mean...who would actually do this? Oh, One More Thing! ( hahaha quoting the Jackie Chan Cartoon here)... Disclaimer: You may or may not feel something. i can not guarantee that you will indeed get any further on your own unless you maintain correspondence with me, free of charge too. Also, even with correspondence, I can not guarantee that you will indeed, most definitely be able to do things such as push people away who are trying to hurt you, move objects, fly, walk on water, fade into oblivion and then reappear...etc...and all those fun spiritual power thingies people dream about. I can guarantee that you will get the exact practices that I received, with the same intentions and strengthening of will, which in turn may allow you to realize this way of concentration (ability, but I like the way I say it better, lol) Whether or not you succeed at it is not up to me, but you, and the only way to know if you did get progress is to test it out. But it can only be done naturally. You can not fake your own inherent intuition to protect, and be compassionate. okay. There you go. I hope someone decides to play around with this and do something with it. I don't even bother with this anymore unless its for stopping negative energies from poisoning my family...like avian flu, or whatever...lol Enjoy!... take my words with a grain of salt...probably the tiniest. This practice will not harm you, that you can trust me in. It will not harm you, cause you to turn evil, transform into crazy munchkin eating smurfs...you get the point. Peace and Blessings, Lin (just Lin, Aiwei, or "That Guy"...not the in-question Shifu Lin) Since that Shifu Lin thread is so popular, I just want to make sure no one mistakes me for that guy. hahahahahahahaha

but you have to agree with facts. and do not diagnose if you have only little knowledge on the subject. i agree that you study and this is good. but when this is about statement on somebody health issue one should be careful. hope it is clear. i am not saying i am saying the truth and i only treat carefully such subtle things. lower back pain can be caused by many diff. factors. that is why there are other factors (symptoms) listed: Did you check a patient with these symptoms? It would be true if there are few of these ones. This might be true but you have to consider other factors which I already mentioned above. First it can be just not proved theory and second psyche might needs to release some excess amount of sperm or to release the tension due to the semen retention for a long time. It depends how often it happens. And there is stated that: i understand that it is kidney issue if it happens without sex. dream. you psyche might need to release the tension. i am not sure it is better to hold it.

Professional lumberjacks will be beyond a level I could ever dream of reaching in their system of cutting trees, doesn't mean I am interested in learning their art.

I am sorry but I don't get your point: if those people you mention are "beyond a level you could ever dream of reaching" why would their practice be garbage? YM

That's one way of looking at it. I am not saying there are not tons of totally dedicated and focused and serious teachers, most probably beyond a level I could ever dream of reaching. What I am saying is their practices themselves (for my purposes, and goals) are virtually worthless garbage, that could never take me where I want to go. Why waste my time with a system that can't offer what I am seeking? Is there any valid reason to do so? I can't think of any.

Hi Universal.... According to what you are telling me, you are completely normal. "I always dream about the opposite sex in my sleep when this happens." As a matter of fact, I think you are a very healthy man. I think you have mentioned that you had broke up with your gf in another thread. Please keep in mind, when your reservoir was full, it will spill since you have no place for drainage. IMO It is very natural to have nocturnal emissions in your case for most males. "I would say my sexual urges have decreased since this started." Your urges have decreased is because your energy was used up at night. Therefore, it decreases your normal urges in the regular basis. If you want to keep the libido in tact and to compensate the energy from the nocturnal emissions, what you can do is practice static Chi Kung. I know someone is feeding you a lot of information that you might not be able to grasp. Actually, all the names had given for Chi Kung are just fancy names. Believe it or not, the basic principle is the same and has the same effect on your body internally. I think I had given you an offer to assist with the Chi Kung practice, but you had declined because you were interested in the "Spring Forest Qi Gong". Indeed, it is fine as long as you practice it diligently. If you have any question I am glad to assist you through PM....... Here is my advice. If you have decided to practice Chi Kung and learn it form someone, then stay with one style and one instructor. So, you won't be confused with the flooded information that someone was given you.

Hi ChiDragon, I would say I have a normal level of arousal mentally. I think retaining heightens it a bit, but I've been doing that off and on for years without this problem. As far as physically, I'm able to control my digit without a problem. I would say my sexual urges have decreased since this started. I always dream about the opposite sex in my sleep when this happens. Edited to say "Hi ChiDragon"*

So I contacted Labelledeesse at BKA's suggestion and I was fortunate enough to get a reading. The guidance was spot on and the reading unlike any other I have ever received. I also got to see the temple to the Lwa and the vibration was scintillating with Damballah. I will explore this further. At the same time, the friend's father who is a Vodou priest that I never got to meet, I found his contact info and he is at another temple. I never heard back from Vitimus I am still waiting. Labelledeesse put me in touch with one of her spiritual sons but he didnt reply yet. So there are some very interesting connections emerging. Also, a lot of strange occurrences, for instance walking into several clearly possessed people back to back within the last three days who were all directing their focus seemingly target at me with much confrontation. I dreamed of two tarantulas in my sink and somehow needed to get rid of them but could not wash them down the drain so I got the handle of a knife stabbed them both in the abdomen and turned on the water, In the hole where I stabbed them a brown powder started to pour out and react with the water, so the water started to boil and with that I awoke suddenly from the dream. Your insights and continued contributions to this thread are highly appreciated.

man, you need learn how to meditate. Maybe you can figure out the trick to turn those fantasy ladies into your companion in your lucid dream state or trance state. I think TI has the tools to do it. But he doesn't seem to be interested. Please tell me how when you find it out.

FROM THE WU LIU PAI: WHY DO PEOPLE DIE? WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF TAOIST ALCHEMY? XING AND MING. FUSION OF SOUL XING WITH ENERGY MINGWhy do people die, if they have no diseases? Old age is the reason, you may say. But why does this old age come, what is the mechanism of it? A man grows old and dies because he is spending his vital energy. It's like a battery in a toy, when the battery is new – the toy car runs, but when the battery has run out – the toy car stops...And what kind of "battery" is it? It is something that is located in the area of the abdomen in the human body (compare stomach and stamina). In Chinese tradition “the battery” is called MING 命, translated as life or destiny. (“How much stamina one has?”). So, this Ming - battery otherwise known as yuanqi 元氣 in traditional Chinese medicine, but in Taoism a different character is used 元炁 - the primordial qi*. It is getting spent. And when it ends, then a "kind" man with a scythe comes. Ming is a tangible real substance and it can be felt, given a perfected sensitivity. Ming can be replenished only by mastering the since Taoist alchemy (just to emphasize that, according to the records of our school, some other traditions also posses such an essentially identical method, ). Note that to "Die" in Chinese is written emphatically: 失命 i.e. LOST MING. But apart from Ming there is still another substance. It is located in the chest, and any other spiritual schools strive to perfect it. All of them base their teachings on it. It is called XING 性, which is translated as nature, the nature of the heart. In Chinese it is also called 心性 XIN XING or 本性 BEN XING. All the many methods of meditations and praying, stopping the internal dialogue, etc appeal to this. The mechanism is simple in theory - it is necessary to reduce the vibrations, to remove the waves and gradually reach a full peace. If you will perfect at this even further, then you will go into a stable peace, the breath will go away, the heart will almost stop beating and A Yin spirit YINSHEN will be able to leave of the body. This is what actually called enlightenment in the late Chan Buddhism. In addition, this work may lead to the improvement of specific abilities. This spirit is something that in many cultures is called a ghost. This spirit is identical to the soul that leaves the body at death – which is also called YINSHEN. However, in contrast to the dying person, the spirit of the practitioner is connected to the body. When this out of the body experience happens, and then the spirit returns to the body, there are the certain signs which indicate that it did really happen. However many modern practitioners do not get out of the body, and with closed eyes travel in their fantasies. And that is a different phenomenon. All religions and the latest doctrines hope for such an out of body experience, hence the attention to MORALITY is so strong. Control the passions - that's their main slogan. If such a practitioner has not reached the mastery, he, at his death like all the dead souls, will go to a worser world (hell - in Christian terminology). After death the life memories of an ordinary person is not preserved, but the memories of a person, who has attained perfection at YINSHEN, will be preserved. But he can’t do anything with it and he can’t be reborn as a human being again. The teacher for him can only be another Yin spirit, i.e. another being from the lower worlds. The upper worlds are closed for the YINSHEN. Xing and Ming are the separated parts of the primordial Unity. If Xing is a Yin part, then Ming is a Yang part. The YIN spirit (i.e. Xing) is inert and has no energy, and therefore he can’t rise to higher worlds. He needs energy similarly to a rocket needing fuel for the takeoff. Using only the meditation and any methods tied to Xing only changes the Yin'S characteristics, but makes no qualitative change. The ancient Taoist tradition (and with it those that I have already mentioned) uses the energy of Ming for fusion with Xing.Thus it turns these two into a Yang Spirit , also called a Tao fetus, who has the real potential and can move to higher worlds. So it is the Fusion of the energy Ming with the soul Xing that is the essence of alchemy. Thus, the goal of alchemy - to fuse the soul Xing with the energy Ming and creating a yang Spirit – a Tao fetus, who has the real potential and can move to higher worlds. How to perfect Xing you can understand by yourself or from the books, but how to perfect Ming you can get only in oral precepts of your Teacher. And important question is: Why it is so? Because of the fact that the secret of Ming is the secret of Life and Death! In carrying out the practice Ming the person violates a natural law (remember the saying "studying from the nature"). This law establishes that an ordinary person SHOULD BE BORN, GROW, LEAVE OR NO AFTER HIMSELF HIS PROGENY AND HIS ACTIONS, THEN GROW OLD AND DIE. Recall the Taoist phrase: "My destiny (MING!) is inside me, it is not from Heaven!" That is, a Taoist does not follow “the Nature", but instead overcomes it and goes against it. The method passed on by a Teacher is not so complicated, so everyone can change their destiny - Ming. You do not need a special morality, you just need hard work and persistence. An ordinary person, even talented, does not have enough time to do too much of anything – whether good or evil. At childhood and at youth there are a lot of unconscious, automatic behavior. At maturity, when you just started to get your strength, the diseases and decline start to kick in. When a person reaches the top of his comprehensions of the meaning of life, ironically there is no longer the strength to do something. As well said by Zhang Boduan: "Human life is so much as bubble on the water; yesterday one was on a horse, and now the corpse lies in the coffin, immersed in a death dream". "Remember the Death" – is one of the principles of ancient traditions. And now you can change your destiny, prolong life. What does this mean for mankind? Is this possible without responsibility? So, why Xing can be understood by yourself or from books? Because the mind works rather manifestly, if we just watch it, we can understand that it is useful not to be overly emotional; the calm mind brings feelings of purity and reinvigoration, etc. If you go further, you can even bring out your own spirit from the body (Yin of course). However, it should be done carefully, because if a person is weak, the spirit will not return to the body and a death will occur. Therefore, you can learn it by yourself or from the books. As for Ming, then the person can’t understand anything. He could only feel the difference between a young age and the old one etc, but it is difficult to determine whether the energy flows out, or comes in. To see all of these processes clearly you need to be already a being with the cosmic level of thinking. Every second of life staying in the illusion of a permanence, we actually run on an invisible treadmill. What happens to the Universe, how are the energies change, who does understand this now? I.e. to replenish the Ming a new you should be able to change with the cosmos, picking what assists to this task and rejecting anything else. This is the doctrine of changes of the ancient Chinese. How can modern people understand that, living by a bland clock hours and practicing in accordingly? At any modern qigong you will hear that the time and space do not matter, that your practice of qigong helps you “go beyond the natural laws”. And this is said about ordinary people who are can’t even get rid of the laws of heat and cold, food and hunger, but presume to “get rid of the influence of the Cosmos”! So then the modern person has no alternative, but to seek a direct transmission of knowledge , which stems from the time, when the mankind have a clear understanding of cosmic laws. Of course, we can assume that a genius who can understand these law without could be born. But such an extraordinary person will not need anything at all from this world let alone a transmission. On the other hand there exist fake methods invented by ordinary people, these methods are usually only a projection of their mind and have nothing to do with the laws of Cosmos. Here is an example: Did Someone deciphered the Yi Jing? I think the answer is obvious. Hence stem here need for the personal transmission. In this case firstly there will be no distortions, and secondly there will be personalized training for each person. Thirdly, in order to avoid deviations the practice will be done under the oversight of Teacher (and not like today, in stadiums, where participants do anything they want). Also, a ritual of accepting a student is a promise by the Teacher to be personally responsible for his student, to vouch for him, including with teachers own destiny... 古圣有言曰命由性修 性由命立 命者炁也性者神也炁 则本不离神神则有时 离炁 Ancient sages said: Ming is perfected starting from Xing. Because you need the true spiritual condition to find your Teacher and then to practise, i.e. you need the correct state of mind while practicing. Xing is established starting from Ming. Without repleniching and perfecting of Ming the true spiritual work is impossible. Qi is inherently inseparable from the Shen (the spirit). If qi ever comes apart from shen, there will be an instant death. So while the person is alive they are inseparable. (This refers to the out of body experiences of the spirit when qi remains in the body) The author © Dmitry A. Artemyev Notes: * While the character reads qi in the both first and the second example, it refers to a different energy. Doctors know only the post heaven energy - houtian, while Taoists practise with pre-heaven one - xiantian... Therefore, doctors don not understand what is contained in the kidneys, mistakenly writing 元氣. Ming and the primordial qi (the Taoist one) are the same. Xiantian – pre-heaven, given before birth and can’t be changed in the direction of the increasing by the ordinary man. Houtian – post heaven, the energy that "feeds" a man after the birth: food, water, air, external qi ... a lot of things, but the main thing is that it can’t replace the pre-heaven energy... Ming is not located exactly in the kidneys but is closely tied to them, as the system of the kidneys is a a part of a reproducing- discharging system of the human body, so the kidneys spend their energy directly for the purpose of reproducing...

The Secret Science of Spiritual Healing: Potential anatomy of qigong master John Chang as a case study By Drew Hempel, MA So my relative called up and mentioned – “I heard you healed your mom with qigong.” I clarified: “Well actually it was the qigong master.” He said: “Can you explain how he did it because I’m an engineer so I don’t understand.” This was of course a double-forked tongue comment. I know my brother-in-law is a big fan of the skeptical cable show Mythbusters but at the same time my mom also had previously been a skeptic and now she was promoting qigong to her friends. So what happened? She said she woke up one morning and suddenly felt better – normal again. In fact she had more energy than normal. Considering she had a close call with viral meningitis after being a strong drinker at age 77, and then put on serious drugs with dangerous side effects, her new energy really was miraculous. For a long time she was barely able to walk up the stairs and the day after she suddenly felt better she walked a quarter mile! Her overnight recovery was something her friends noticed and commented on. At first I let my mom wonder what had happened but then I told her how the qigong master Jim Nance had called me and we had talked for over 2 hours during which time he informed me he was also having a “conversation” with my mom. Haha. My mom had already seen qigong master Jim Nance twice for his once a month “Free Friday” sample healings and every time she got healed she left the Spring Forest Qigong Center feeling stronger and brighter. This time though, after that phone call, her health was dramatically and deeply transformed. So anyway I explained some of that to my brother-in-law but I didn’t really get into the science of qigong or any of the related spiritual healing traditions like yoga meditation or trance dancing shamanism of Africa and the Americas. Qi is translated different ways – energy or just function while gong means work. I mean my brother-in-law knew I was way into this topic but I had tried to explain the science to him before and he just kind of brushed me off. O.K. I admit I went to the opposite extreme to tell my brother all the crazy stuff I could think of – just to make him admit he didn’t really want to try it out. He never indicated he was insincere! He said he wanted to call the center to get a healing himself. Of course I gave him the information of the website http://springforestqigong.com but I also said – yeah when qigong master Chunyi Lin was in deep meditation in full lotus yoga position in the mountains in China he even levitated up nine feet! I said – of course most people are not going to believe this. You know – just trying to expose my brother-in-law’s skepticism. Haha. I did say how the skeptics like to claim the science results are just a placebo effect or the lack of a good placebo control but how these skeptics have not gone to personally investigate the Spring Forest Qigong masters. Meanwhile one of the top research hospitals, the Mayo Clinic, has several doctors on record as positively supporting Spring Forest Qigong – doctors like the oncologists Dr. Nisha Manek and Dr. Neil Kay. Of course the Mayo Clinic does not promote nor recommend Spring Forest Qigong but again there are individual doctors who have positively worked with the qigong masters. Mayo Clinic Dr. Ann Vincent called the results of her “randomized, controlled” aka “gold standard” study of “external qi” healing to be “especially impressive” because the patients had chronic pain for over five years, previously untreatable by Western science. The skeptics claim that because these patients wanted to be healed then it was not really an objective study – well hey if qigong worked and the western medicine didn’t work then why should it be objective? Haha. Medicine is about getting results. But still the scientists want to know how qigong and all the other nonwestern spiritual healing traditions really work. Qigong: The Highest Technology of all technologies The irony is that to scientifically understand spiritual healing there has to be a deeper understanding of science which, of course, delves into either cutting edge research or the philosophical foundations of science itself. But the skeptics want repeatable, “off the shelf” technology so to speak – a commodity or product that can be purchased and used – made to standards that are replaceable parts, mechanized. Qigong master Yan Xin states that qigong is the “highest technology of all technologies.” How is this possible when the nuclear physicist testing Yan Xin and the other scientists, medical doctors at Harvard, etc. – they all get positive mind-blowing results from external qi energy but the results cannot be explained nor replicated to satisfy the demands of the skeptical scientists? The answer is in a field of science that has just been recognized by the mainstream scientists only in the past five years – the field of “quantum biology.” For example in 2006 I was satirically promoting quantum biology and qigong on the top science blog of University of Minnesota professor P.Z. Myers. Of course Myers, a staunch NeoDarwinist atheist, banned me but only after I had created enough of an impact to cause his followers to repeatedly ask me questions on the topics at hand. Sure most ignored me but a few were intrigued. O.K. to be fair to the subject matter, we have to consider the claims of the qigong masters, themselves. I finished my master’s degree in 2000 by taking the qigong classes from Spring Forest Qigong master Chunyi Lin through a local community college in Minnesota. My final master’s degree credit was a self-directed research in the African Studies department under the topic of non-dual, nonwestern philosophy. I was using the book The Racial Contract as my theoretical foundation, challenging the concept of Platonic Natural Law. Literally a stretch. Haha. PreSocratic African Taoist yoga training. So I trained using a traditional manual called Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality. http://www.scribd.com/doc/34350503/Lu-K-Uan-Yu-Taoist-Yoga-Alchemy-and-Immortality I received ongoing energy transmissions from qigong master Chunyi Lin and also from his assistant who is qigong master Jim Nance, the first African-American qigong master. So I was trained in healing which I did successfully but I also accidentally pulled this old lady’s spirit out of the top of her head – without touching her. I forgot not to pull energy blockages out of the top of the center of the skull. I didn’t realize how powerful my energy was compared to hers and I had been recently fasting for a week on just half a glass of water. This is called “bigu” or energy feasting and Chemistry professor Rustom Roy held a conference on Yan Xin qigong students going into bigu – he documented qigong students going without food yet maintaining their nutrition. http://bst.sagepub.com/content/22/5/391.extract One scientist speculated bigu could be some sort of gamma ray energy transmutation as qigong master Yan Xin had increased gamma rays as a byproduct of his healing energy. Anyway the old lady’s spirit coming out of her skull felt like a heavy electromagnetic blob. She couldn’t see what I was doing as I was standing next to her and she was sitting in a chair. But as soon as I felt the heavy electromagnetic blob get pulled out of the top center of her skull she immediately bawled and she kept bawling for at least 15 minutes. Others comforted her and she realized I had just made an honest mistake. Also at the Level 3 Spring Forest Qigong retreat class I saw yellow forms shaped like humans created out of the top of the skull of qigong master Chunyi Lin when he was in full lotus yoga position, healing people. Qigong master Chunyi Lin, without me saying anything, said someone had seen these yellow human shaped forms out of his skull and so he explained that they were his “yin spirits” going out to heal people. Then I saw yellow forms shaped like humans float in from outside the room – and they were hovering around Chunyi Lin while he was in full lotus doing his healing. Again I did not say anything but Chunyi Lin repeated that someone had seen this so he explained that those were dead people who came to him for healing and that this happens to him regularly. I had recently read of this same phenomenon of dead people spirits going to get healed from a spiritual master – only it was happening to the most famous meditation master monk of Thailand – Phra Acharn Mun who has his biography free online: http://www.thaibuddhism.net/Achan_Man.pdf Anyway I kept practicing qigong but then there was a spacetime vortex spinning around me when I was in full lotus meditation – the room was literally spinning around me. I didn’t discover until ten years later as detailed in my training book – a very intense read btw! So Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality explains that my spirit was leaving my body without enough chi energy enveloping the spirit energy. Not enough electromagnetic energy to power the light energy – and so this causes dizziness. I needed to store my spirit energy in my lower tan tien, below and behind my navel – where I could build up the electromagnetic chi energy stronger. Then after that meditation I experienced: who I am did not really mean my body nor did it mean my brain and so I came back feeling unattached to my material items. I “recycled” my old journal of 500 pages and I threw out one of my meditation cassettes as it seemed no longer necessary. Qigong master Chunyi Lin said I had an enlightenment experience but that my mind was confused and that I should have called him and that it’s important not to get too excited or too afraid. Instead I had stopped practicing for a couple months and my energy channels closed up but before they did so fully qigong master Chunyi Lin stuck his finger to my forehead to further open up my third eye. You now like when E.T. says “ouch” and there’s light from his fingertip? Same thing. It felt like a laser bliss in the center of my brain. After that I had a permanent magnetic bliss in the middle of my brain that did not go again even without practicing. So that was 13 years ago. I spent ten years reading one scholarly book a day to convert my experiences back into science – I could do this scholarly reading because I was in full lotus yoga position “flexing” my pineal gland to exorcise out any emotional blockages that would otherwise slow down my mental concentration. I documented all my research online and then converted it into a free online book with 725 scholarly footnotes. I didn’t have any delusions that somehow my experiences could be “converted” into science – only I thought science might provide me a level of “intellectual defense” to justify my further training. So as I continued my research I was also doing third eye healing – but just lower level emotional blockages. People, strangers, thanked me and described my energy as “orgasmic” and “charming.” Etc. I was healing deep anger blockages of the liver or deep sadness blockages of the lungs. Anyway the heart energy reproductive bliss -- I reported my experiences online and dubbed it the “O at a D” or “orgasm at a distance.” It was a psychic mutual climax. I could only find a few other verifications of this ability – one is a teacher in S.F. called Nitayama aka the Tantra Mongoose. He has posted videos and testimonials of females thanking him for giving them repeated orgasms – at a distance; each time moving them deeper into a state of loving energy. I realized that this is what it meant to be a “real man” and yet even Aleister Crowley, the most famous sex magician, did not have this ability! Colin Wilson points this out when he describes Gurdjieff’s ability of the “orgasm at a distance” as described in Rom Landau’s book God is My Adventure. Anyway finally as I kept researching I realized what I doing was all wrong – I was not purifying my energy. This was a dirty tantra practice. Also I was burning out my energy by constantly healing people – and so I told this to qigong master Chunyi Lin. I “flexed” my pineal gland for him and he said – “it is great that you can give females bliss but your energy transmissions will always be weak until you store up your energy in your lower tan tien.” O.K. so anyway I was blogging on all of this and of course causing quite a stir as the typical male either wanted proof I could do this, preferable video, or got really mad at me if I could read their energy online and I called them a “perv.” Haha. Finally the brother of qigong master Jim Nance noticed my blog and so qigong master Jim Nance called me up. I said to him – oh no am I in trouble? Haha. I said – whatever it is I will delete it. I had deleted my previous blogs a few times already. So that gets back to how my mom was actually healed by qigong master Jim Nance. When he called me he was driving and I joked that I trusted he could talk and drive since he had 360 degree vision. He said – “well actually it’s 4-D vision: Front, back, right and left at the same time.” I just went – o.k. He goes: “You can learn to do this!” I said. O.k. He goes: “No really you can do this!” I said: “alright!” haha. You Were Born A Healer: On Quantum Consciousness So the really exciting message of these qigong masters – besides the testimonials of people they have healed who had serious conditions like late-term cancer, M.S., a rare lung disease that would have required a transplant (Esther Trejo) or severe epilepsy with seizures 22 hrs a day – besides all these amazing healings – the qigong masters really want people to know that anyone can be a spiritual healer. Chunyi Lin’s book is called Born a Healer which means that all of us where born healers. But the question remains – how is this possible? What does it mean, scientifically, to be a spiritual healer? So first of all science is founded on quantum physics which is the only physics course I’ve ever taken! I took quantum physics my first year of college at the experimental Hampshire College. The course is taught by Harvard-trained physicist Herbert Bernstein and he states that everyone should take quantum physics as their first physics course because quantum physics is the foundation of science! So I just googled his name and sure enough his “quantum teleportation” model is being used to potentially improve NASA communications, among other uses. I know he stated that his research had been declared top secret by the military at one point. But his teaching assistant was amazingly reading the same book that I was reading in my spare time – Mind and Nature: A necessary unity by Gregory Bateson. That book is about social systems theory using logical contradictions like the “double bind,” a term that now is common parlance – sort of a fancy term for “mind fuck.” Haha. It fits quantum consciousness. So the thing is that quantum consciousness remains a taboo topic in science even though Bernard d’Espagnat, a physicist quantum textbook author, won the Templeton Foundation award for his argument that quantum physics proves non-local consciousness is real – beyond spacetime. The crucial discovery is that consciousness can only be logically inferred and it can’t be reproduced by technology. This is the exact same teaching as nonwestern, non-dualism philosophy, how I finished my master’s degree. O.K. so this is the fundamental point of quantum physics which has huge implications but of course the skeptics claim quantum consciousness really does not apply to living organisms – unless, of course, you accept the cutting-edge quantum biology research showing otherwise. Do I really need to go into the details of quantum biology and quantum consciousness? Not really because it’s such a new field but the one thing that everyone can agree on is that the topic of quantum consciousness in biology is now officially acknowledged as being worthy of study. So for example Scientific American devoted a cover story to Vlatko Vedral’s quantum research. The summary: Macroquantum behavior is very real and most likely does exist in humans. “These effects are more pervasive than anyone ever suspected. They may operate in the cells of our body.” That was May, 2011: Pretty recently. So then we have a popularizer of physics do a lecture to the Royal Society of London, the founding institution of science: Jim Al-Khalili - Quantum Life: How Physics Can Revolutionise Biology and that was 2013. So these are not fringe scientists but the thing is that they are affirming what previously had been fringe science dismissed by the “skeptics.” When we get into quantum biology consciousness, then quantum teleportation and quantum non-local entanglement become real possibilities. One of the main scientists who have researched quantum biology consciousness is Dr. Mae-Wan Ho who personally is also a Taoist. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho does think that this field of science also explains seemingly supernatural or paranormal phenomenon. So in her “Quantum Jazz” interview online she states: I have no doubt that at least some of the more esoteric things people ascribe to quantum effects are real, such as instantaneous communication at a distance, remote healing, etc. But we can push the boundaries from the very conventional toward quantum coherence of the organism, to complete quantum coherence of the universe. I believe the universe is quantum coherent. Quantum coherence is everywhere. And if we know how to tune into it, we see it. If we ignore it, if we’re very reductionist and mechanical in our thinking and in what we do, we’ll miss it (see Nature is Quantum, Really and other articles in the series, SiS 22). O.K. so finally we can start to get into the “nuts and bolts” of the secret science of spiritual healing. I say “secret” because consciousness can only be logically inferred but also because this science is still on the fringes of the mainstream. The subject of quantum biology is accepted and the topic of quantum consciousness is acknowledged but still often dismissed. The thing is, again, that while these phenomena can be documented to exist they cannot be reproduced as technology in a science lab or as a mass mechanized commodity. For example when I read quantum chaos mathematician Ian Stewart’s book Evolving the Alien that he co-wrote with a biologist, I then contacted him to give my opinion. In the book it’s stated that if an alien does exist then they have to be basically like a Taoist hermit. I said, somewhat jokingly, indeed Taoist hermits can travel into outer space already and so they are the true aliens! But it is not like how scientists define it – rather the spirit travel is into another dimension and the traveling is done by quantum coherent biophoton energy. Ian Stewart responded to me that he did not believe in natural telepathy but he did think that in the future quantum qubits would enable real telepathy. Soon after Ian Stewart had his response to me reworded and published in the prestigious science journal Nature. (“Play It Again Psam,” 2005): “The adverts play up the advantages of installing a 'telepathic interface', don't they? They tell you that it will endow your mind with ESP, psi, supernatural powers, whatever. So, like everyone else, you had an Extel neurochip implanted in your brain, connecting you to the Espernet…. They don't tell you about the downside, do they, Charlie? What the adverts don't mention is that as soon as you hook your brain up to the Espernet, anyone who can hack the net can hack straight into your mind. Not just to read it; to control it. Like I'm doing.” So as a quantum chaos mathematician Ian Stewart is well aware of a hazard I had predicted in 2001 – having it published online as the Actual Matrix Plan. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_matrix43.htm The Matrix hazard is inherent to the logarithmic mathematics of science – originally called the “music logarithmic spiral.” The attempt for a unified field theory as techno-spiritual evolution is the secret agenda of the skeptics like Richard Dawkins promoting the selfish gene and even synthetic biology using Buckyfullerene Platonic sacred geometry. If I have lost you, as a reader, that is my point – the singularity is the realm of “spooky-looky land” where military contractors and research labs like Sandia and Los Alamos combine with places like the Santa Fe Institute and the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, etc. Professor David F. Noble argued that science arose out of Freemasonry and the NeoPlatonic Benedictine monasteries and that science still carries its secret techno-spiritual agenda which is apocalyptic – to replace man with a techno-Adam or atom as AI technology. Quantum chaos mathematician Steve Strogatz states that with the extension of quantum chaos math: “We'll be stuck in an age of authoritarianism, except it'll no longer be coming from politics or religious dogma, but from science itself.” (Steven Strogatz, “The End of Insight,” The Edge World Question Center 2006, “What Is Your Dangerous Idea?”) So we can use science as a model but we cannot expect to replicate quantum consciousness in a lab, as a gadget, etc. Still science will attempt to do this and the results will be that the Machine takes over – the Metropolis, the Matrix. Automation is the number one cause of job loss, as the Luddites originally knew but now it’s even known in China. Humans have been an incredibly successful species on Earth but at a cost – with exponential population growth and exponential energy use growth has co-evolved exponential growth of technology. The supercomputer quantum chaos math increasingly questions the very concept of human rational control of Nature and human rational control of society. Maybe human rationality has always been a myth. The ecological crisis is another area of contention in science just as much as quantum consciousness – a lot of money is backing the idea that global warming is not human induced or not really catastrophic to human society, despite so many scientists stating that the political organizing is too little too late. Nothing is out of question when it comes to quantum consciousness – how mathematics is defined, the future of humanity, the secret of spiritual healing, etc. Everything is connected. Quantum Biology: Qigong Master John Chang says he is like an electric eel! O.K. let’s finally consider an example from science – from quantum biology – one acknowledged and analyzed by the quantum chaos mathematicians. It’s called “quasi telepathy” (or pseudo telepathy) and it refers to the paddlefish (over 300 million years old as a species but threatened with extinction since the last 200 or so years of industrialization). The paddlefish is an electric fish and this real model for quasi telepathy very likely is also mirrored by the qigong masters. I know it is a stretch – but consider this – the infamous qigong master video of John Chang lighting paper on fire with his hands and shocking the scientists who come to study him – John Chang states that his energy is just like an “electric eel.” What if this was truer than we realize? “96 percent of vertebrates -- including humans -- descended from ancestor with sixth sense” http://phys.org/news/2011-10-vertebrates-humans-descended-ancestor.html Let’s just consider that as a scientific hypothesis. So how does quasi telepathy work and what about an electric fish? First of all – how is it connected to quantum consciousness? Ian Stewart explains: “The researchers found that the presence of random noise in the fish's sensory nerve cells improved its ability to detect plankton. What happens is that the noise can push the plankton's weak electrical signals over the threshold at which the paddlefish can detect them. In effect, the noise interacts with the signal and amplifies it.” Is this “random noise” what Taoists call the Emptiness – the mystical nothingness described by spiritual healers worldwide? Quantum physics calls it the time-frequency uncertainty principle and according to chaos science it may not be random at all! (“ is randomness anything more than an invention of our superstitious minds?” Ian Stewart, New Scientist, 2004.) So the electrosensitive fish and sharks using quasi telepathy work through quasi-crystal or liquid crystal phonon superconducting quantum chaos of the ampullae of Lorenzini. I know I just threw out a bunch of meaningless terms that can be dismissed as – umm – psychobabble. Haha. Seriously though, this quasi telepathy has been researched in quantum chaos – a “secret” science. Electric fish convert serotonin in the pituitary gland to ACTH and this is used to dramatically change the potassium to sodium ratio for the synapses which then creates an electromagnetic field that is transmitted. O.K. so how does that grab you? Those are things found in humans and potentially applicable to humans also! Now if you want to immediately get into quantum strangeness consider this: potassium is a byproduct of the left-handed weak force which accounts for radiation. In quantum chaos radiation is not necessarily considered random – it’s still up for grabs as I quoted Ian Stewart. The weak force creates asymmetry – like the Tai Chi symbol – a complementary opposite that does not fit into symmetric math models. Guess what? Qigong master Yan Xin was proven by Chinese scientists to change the decay rate of radiation. http://www.scientificexploration.org/journal/jse_16_3_yan.pdf O.K. let’s consider some empirical data from some qigong masters: “It's unbelievable!" says Gerhard H. Eggetsberger, biochemist and technical head of the Institute for applied Biocybernetics and Feedback Research, in Vienna. “This man is able to change his electrical skin resistance in a split second from 60 Q up to 6080 Q and to lower it down again. We even know how he does it - through a kind of sympathetic reflex. This means that he can simply switch from the Nervus Vagus to the Nervus Sympaticus. An untrained body would never do this as completely as he does this. We are scientifically proving spiritual knowledge that is 6000 years old!” (Through the Power of the Inner Smile, http://Universal-tao.com) So activating the vagus nerve does what? It increases the brain’s serotonin levels. Think of the electric eel which relies on serotonin! But also it’s now been proven that substances from the lower body can be transported via the cerebrospinal fluid into the brain – bypassing the blood brain barrier – into the pineal gland – via the endothelial cells – by ionizing the vagus nerve. O.K., I know proven is too strong a word – but it’s been researched on some levels. How is this possible? I’m going to let the readers consider this subject a matter for further research on their own. It’s just too much to get into in one article. Read this article from Dr. Mae-Wan Ho: “The Acupuncture System and The Liquid Crystalline Collagen Fibres of the Connective Tissues Liquid Crystalline Meridians.” http://www.i-sis.org.uk/lcm.php Suffice it to say collagen is the most common protein in the body but collagen is also piezoelectric and gives off ultrasound waves. The piezoelectric energy is then conducted via protons without the need for nerve transmissions and so the conduction is quantum coherent and nonlocal – as holographic biophoton spirit energy. I know – I’m not a scientist – so just read the paper if what I wrote is psychobabble. Haha. So how is this energy stored in the body by the qigong masters? A Taoist engineer sex Dr. Lin gives us the details: But, without the powerful parasympathetic function, all the internal organs can not work properly. It is like the appliances working under a low electric power supply. Each organ must store sufficient parasympathetic bioelectricity you call it “Yin Chi” such as the “Liver Chi”, “Kidney Chi”, “Heart Chi”..., so that the sympathetic nervous function in each organ can convert the bioelectric energy into “work”, output of forces or products. http://www.actionlove.com/cases/case8940.htm The Science Secrets of the Celibacy Internal Orgasms to create Spirit Energy Healing And how is this related to being a sex doctor? Because in 2004 science proved that internal orgasms work via the parasympathetic vagus nerve connection to the reproductive organs! Here is howstuffworks.com describes it: “The role of the vagus nerve in orgasms is a new discovery and there's still much ... University conducted a study on women with severed spinal cords in 2004.” Indeed when I contacted Dr. Komisaruk, an expert on this subject, he said while males reported these internal orgasms and females were proven to have them via the vagus nerve, it has not been proven for males to be a vagus nerve orgasm. The qigong masters would seem to indicate otherwise and similarly the yoga masters have considered the vagus nerve as the secret physical connection for the center chakras energy. At this point I would be remiss not to mention a culture that is frequently over-looked when it comes to studying spiritual healing and that is the Bushmen original human culture from 100,000 BCE! Westerners want to project onto the Bushmen so for example Graham Hancock recently got his TEDx talk censored from youtube by his sponsor because the skeptic scientists claimed it was fake science. Hancock was trying not to make any definitive claims but even while acknowledging the amazing visions from DMT ayahausca medicine of the Amazon and the similar psychedelic serotonin agonists of mushrooms, and other DMT-containing plants – Hancock projected this onto the cave art of ancient humans, ignoring the reality of their actual spiritual training. Dr. Bradford Keeney has studied spiritual healing all over the world but he is now recognized as a Bushmen master healer after he has spent over a decade traveling to Africa to trance dance heal with the Bushmen, several weeks a year. So the Bushmen males rely on celibacy training with fasting during puberty – a month of long solitude training called Tshoma. But the internal orgasms are not “sexual” in Western terms – rather an “impersonal eroticism” – in other words the goal is not male ejaculation. Sex is not the intention. In fact Dr. Robert Sapolsky has documented how the male external ejaculation is precisely the problem when it comes to trying to build up parasympathetic energy: What happens next, if you are male? You are having a terrific time with someone. Maybe you are breathing faster, your heart rate has increased. Gradually parts of your body are taking on a sympathetic [nervous system] tone....After a while, most of your body is screaming sympathetic while, heroically, you are trying to hold onto the parasympathetic tone in that one last outpost as long as possible. Finally when you can't take it anymore, the parasympathetic shuts off at the penis, the sympathetic comes roaring on, and you ejaculate. Robert Sapolsky, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers (Holt Paperbacks, 2004), p. 124. And so what happens through the trance dancing is similar to the strenuous “beyond human” Shaolin training that qigong master Chunyi Lin went through. When the sympathetic nervous system is pushed to its extreme then it rebounds to the opposite extreme of parasympathetic relaxation. “Parasympathetic rebound” was actually first documented by the MKULTRA-tied psychologist William Sargent who studied trance worldwide (although he did not discover any real true energy masters). When this trance dancing is combined with the piezoelectric ionization process of the pressure on the collagen through deep breathing of the diaphragm then the vagus nerve is able to bring up the serotonin through the cerebrospinal fluid, along with the lecithin of the seminal fluid, to build up the brain neurons for increased serotonin cycling in the brain. This is also exactly how ayahuasca visionary plant medicine works – the MAOI is the “force” that, due to the particular chemistry of the vine used from the Amazon, actually increases the neurons that uptake serotonin while at the same time inhibits serotonin from breaking down in the body. The DMT then blocks the serotonin uptake neurons and then the pineal gland is seemingly activated for visions which otherwise the thalamus would inhibit. A materialist skeptic interpretation of DMT visions is that they are just hallucinations of the mind but as quantum biologist Dr. Mae-Wan Ho has indicated, this rainbow vortex of the neurons, made apparent by the DMT, is actually quantum consciousness in action: “Ho: We discovered an imaging technique in my lab that made all organisms look like liquid crystal displays. We put little organisms under a microscope, the polarizing light microscope that earth scientists use to look at rock crystals. The microscope has two crossed polarizers, so the field is completely dark as no light can get through, unless you have these rock crystals that are ‘birefringent’; that have a particular kind of crystalline order that changes the direction of light, so they appear bright and colorful. These crystals have a special atomic order. Liquid crystals do the same, they are also birefringent. They have special molecular alignments, and can appear bright and colorful too; but you need a specific setting of the microscope to bring that out, as the birefringence of liquid crystals is weaker than rock crystals, though the principle is the same. However, in a living organism, there is nothing static and that was what puzzled us at the beginning: How can they look like liquid crystal displays, even if they are liquid crystals? They’re moving around all the time, so there can’t be any static molecular order to give the brilliant colors.” http://www.i-sis.org.uk/quantumJazzBiology.php The Qigong Master Spiritual Healing Science So what is the potential of this astral spirit rainbow energy? Qigong master Jim Nance told me that indeed he has been able to not only see into the past of a person but to travel back in time and then heal the person before an injury occurred to them. So he has told the person the scenery of where the injury occurred, say 15 years ago, but this is too emotionally traumatic for the person being healed. Qigong master Jim Nance no longer reveals this information to the person being healed. So the point is that qigong master Jim Nance says he then heals the person before the injury occurs and then heals them right after the injury occurs – the injury is now lessened due to his “back to the future” healing - -and then he heals them in the present. And so another technique that qigong master Jim Nance uses which he has found to be very effective is to have the person repeat in their mind as fast as possible: “light, light, light, light” and the person should visualize laser light shooting into the injury or say tumor. Then qigong master Jim Nance sends in the laser holographic energy which melts the tumor. Using this technique a large tumor can be almost reduced to nothing – say reduced by 85% -- in one healing session. The person being healed uses a Shaolin technique called “sword fingers” to point their index finger energy at the injury, thereby transmitting biophoton energy to break up the blockage. (see: Increased Photon Emissions from the Right But Not the Left Hemisphere While Imagining White Light in the Dark: The Potential Connection Between Consciousness and Cerebral Light, Journal of Consciousness Exploration & Research| December 2011 | Vol. 2 | Issue 10 | pp. 1463-1473 Dotta, B. T. & Persinger, M. A.) O.K. according to classical physics, energy is measured by amplitude but with quantum biology energy is measured by frequency and this is why Dr. Mae-Wan Ho calls the energy “quantum jazz.” As she states there are over 80 octaves of energy frequency being activated all at once through non-local quantum coherence. The math to explain this is obviously complicated but involves a statistical probability correlation using wavefunctions. So as with the quantum paradox of the double slit experiment there is a 50% probability that the particle of energy goes through one of the slits. When the measurement detection is activated then the 50% probability shows up but when the detection is taken away – despite the measurement probability of 50% there is a non-local wave of consciousness represented. Somehow the choice to not detect the energy changes how the energy travels or exists, changes it into resonating with non-local consciousness. This has been proven to not be due to actual energy interfering with the experiment – so it is only due to a non-local beyond spacetime interaction as consciousness. It is the “potential” energy or the quantum infinite potential – based on phase and zero frequency. This is what quantum physicist Louis de Broglie called the Law of Phase Harmony – when the frequency is zero then the amplitude is infinite but it cannot be measured or detected as such so that there is actually a second time clock as phase. This phase energy is sometimes called scalar waves – again it is controversial – and it cannot really be reproduced with technology. There are ways to utilize it “after the fact” by not violating linear causality but logical inference proves that this superliminal signal which de Broglie called the pilot wave – it is a real signal and so as information it is non-local consciousness. Most scientists argue that this pilot wave does not exist until it is actually detected – after the fact. So before that it’s just a mathematical probability – and yet the double slit experiment shows that detection does change the outcome of the energy – and yet the detection is not energy interference! This is the Aharonov–Bohm effect. Nonwestern Sound and the Frequency of Consciousness So de Broglie admitted he did not know what the frequency was the he was measuring. In other words what “was” frequency? Because of probability this paradox is called time-frequency uncertainty and it is before the Heisenberg uncertainty and therefore less known. The more you are accurate in the time amplitude measurement then the less you know the frequency as it spreads across the whole time domain. In fact this dynamic is non-commutative math and so it works through resonance and it is also eternal. It is called “squeezed light” and so limits the energy level of the biophoton measurement. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_fuerzasuniverso06.htm So while gravity relies on symmetric math some have argued that inertia is this quantum zero point energy from the non-local consciousness. The measurements of the classical physics differ but it’s recognized that spin or phase is dependent on this non-local connection. Since the quantum potential as infinite non-local consciousness is not symmetric math then it cannot be contained by geometry or some matrices with boundaries. We always already exist within this non-local consciousness – so some call it Allah, God, Buddha, Tao, or Brahman, like how physicist Dr. Amit Goswami uses Vedic philosophy to help describe quantum consciousness. It is not a light spirit in the sky or being but quantum consciousness is an infinite formless process of energy-mass and spacetime creation. You can’t see the Emptiness as impersonal formless consciousness. So, just as the Tao cannot be spoken of – the process of logical inference is the source of the I-thought as a listening process. Physically this means nonwestern sound is not measured by amplitude with symmetric logarithmic equations as is taught for Western music or physics. Quantum sound or phonons can travel superliminally – faster than speed of light sound, again, is assumed to only be a classical trick of statistical probabilities – the group wave that bends the pilot wave. Yet sonoluminescence is real – how sound causes a shock wave of acoustic collapse creating heat stronger than the temperature of the sun! There have been many claims recently of sonofusion alchemy from this sonoluminescence effect which is explained in various ways – by quantum mechanics or a relativity spacetime folding. Ultrasound is used for sonofusion. What quantum physicist Louis de Broglie discovered is that when Einstein relied on the Doppler Effect to explain relativity Einstein was ignoring his violation of the Law of Pythagoras – the wavelength is inverse to the frequency. So as the frequency goes up in the quantum energy going towards the speed of light – time actually also increases because time slows down which means a bigger wavelength. So de Broglie pointed out this cannot be true since it violates the ancient yet empirically true “Law of Pythagoras.” Well since relativity is true – the only way this paradox is possible is that quantum physics has a second time clock as phase wave and so the phase changes in direct proportion – or the Law of Phase Harmony – but for this to happen the phase or “pilot wave” has to travel backwards in time – from the future. Similarly qigong master Jim Nance travels backwards in time to change the future. The classical interpretation is just to state the group wave has not yet collapsed into the actual detected measurement and so no actual “faster than light” signal took place. So the phase velocity is the group wave before it is detected or measured and it can contain a pilot wave that is superliminal. O.K. how does this work physiologically or biologically? I actually communicated with Stuart Hameroff about this – he had mentioned ultrasound research at his University – something I had already looked into. His angle on it was the quantum consciousness implications. O.K. so we have documented the ultrasound increased from the piezoelectric collagen, the most common protein of the body. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho argues this creates a proton energy that does not need the nerves and is also quantum non-local consciousness. Hameroff provides a physical structure for this to take place: the microtubules. “Beginning in 2001, experiments began to show coherent excitations from living cells in the low megahertz range, with microtubule vibrations the most likely source [40,42]. A recent study shows specific resonant frequencies in single microtubules from 12 kHz to 30MHz[43], precisely in the range for ultrasound (8MHz used in our study is one particular microtubule resonant frequency).” (from Brain Stimulation, (in press), “Transcranial ultrasound (TUS) effects on mental states: A pilot study”). So what happens in quantum biology is a phenomenon called the Quantum Zeno effect which means that, for example, birds use non-local consciousness to convert photons to electrons, by delaying the collapse of the wavefunction – or, in essence by increasing the superliminal phase pilot wave, so that no classical measurement takes place. Again this is beyond any reproducible technology and yet it exists! It has to do with the rate of frequency versus the time and so the phase is reversed. In meditation this is called “turning the light around” so that normally the spirit is housed in our heart as biophoton energy but with our eyes open the spirit then leaves our body. The light must be turned around by closing the eyes, thereby delaying the actual measurement in classical 3-D spacetime. This is contrary to how classical science interprets vision and this is how spiritual energy is increased – the frequency of consciousness by listening to light. So we have a quantum consciousness spirit that can holographically heal our physical body if we can change the information signal of the spirit energy. For example with qigong master John Chang there is “yin chi” which is the electromagnetic energy made from the sex energy, from lunar food and from stored up celibacy. Then there is “yang chi” which is from the heart spirit energy as laser solar energy that creates the electromagnetic energy driving the heart. When this yin and yang are combined there is an explosion – this is spiritual alchemy – the fire of the yin chi is the cauldron which then creates steam as spirit shen laser holographic energy – called yin spirit energy or yang chi. Finally this yin spirit energy is stored up to create a yang spirit or physical transformations – even another physical body called bilocation. A good book documenting bilocation in the Western mystic tradition is D. Scott Rogo’s book Miracles. O.K. so let’s consider how this alchemical combination of yin and yang chi energy might be translated into science. First of all there’s the Quantum Zeno Effect I mentioned – it relies on the geomagnetic field of the Earth: Now, Iannis Kominis at the University of Crete, explains this by means of the quantum zeno effect: the act of observing a quantum system can affect its evolution, maintaining its state for longer than expected. …“A similar thing happens in birds: the presence of a geomagnetic field extends the lifetime of the singlet-triplet mixture from which the ions recombine. This gives the magnetic field time to bias the outcome of the recombination,” said Kominis. http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-Birds-Can-See-the-Earth-039-s-Magnetic-Field-84707.shtml For humans this “grounding” of the Earth’s geomagnetic field to delay the collapse of the light energy as non-local consciousness – it could also rely on the ELF Ionosphere-heart resonance of the theta REM brain wave. To build up this earth energy is called “rooting” instead of just “grounding” which is cycling the energy through you. For “rooting” in trance dance training it is now known that about 7 beats per second entrains the brain as the heart-mind to activate the theta REM visionary state. “In 'A Physiological Explanation of Unusual Behavior in Ceremonies Involving Drums,' Human Biology, 1962, Dr. Andrew Neher suggested the predominant sound frequency in most trance drumming is about seven to nine beats per second. And independent analyses of a wide sampling of trance drumming from Asia, North and West African and black American cultures, conducted by students at Bowdoin College, under the direction of this writer, point to a range of approximately seven to 13 beats per second.” Robert Palmer, “Trance Music: The Beat of a Different Drum...Drum...Drum...” Mother Jones, June 1977. So for normal Western music it’s been documented that when chills are experienced – called “frisson” or skin orgasm by the musicologists – this, via the inner ear, activates the vagus nerve, thereby first increasing dopamine, just as with sexual arousal. But again with the normal male sexual build-up at ejaculation there is a switch from dopamine of the vagus nerve to stress cortisol of the sympathetic nervous system. So that’s the limit of most music in the Western tradition aka “cock rock.” Instead in the trance dance training the next step is called the Mozart Effect which is the slow movement of Baroque music as 60 beats per minute. This slows down the brain wave to the alpha brain wave harmonics thereby changing the vagus dopamine energy to vagus serotonin energy as right brain dominance. The same switch happens with the internal female orgasm. Finally when the left side vagus nerve kicks in that goes to the heart as the theta brain wave trance drumming effect which originally came from the trance dancing of the Bushmen culture. This theta ELF trance increases the oxytocin love energy of the heart and then increases the electromagnetic healing energy in resonance with the ELF waves of the ionosphere. This could be the secret of building up the energy as “rooting.” So as CIA mind control scientist Dr. Andrija Puharich argued in his parapsychology research – the ELF waves actually are a byproduct of the ultrasound creating a subharmonic with the protons of the body. Remember the piezoelectric collagen emits ultrasound but the piezoelectric bones are resonated by ELF waves. So ultrasound, when heard internally, is the highest pitch sound, and then Dr. Andrija Puharich argues this ultrasound energizes the nervous system – the vagus nerve. Quantum chaos is based on significant increase in amplitude from subharmonics of frequency. With Tibetan throat singing it is actually achieved by relaxation of the autonomic nervous system – the throat has to be relaxed by activating the vagus nerve. The diaphgram must be flexed, just as it taught with Western singing – or reverse breathing in energy healing training. For more on these subharmonics from ultrasound as alchemy see Andrija Puharich’s book online: ELF Magnetic Model of Mind and Matter: http://www.puharich.nl/Bio/Elf_Magnetic_model_of_matter_and_mind.pdf Obviously there is a lot of speculation on the part of Puharich and also nefarious military connections to MKULTRA mind control experiments, as exposed by Lynn Picknett, Clive Prince and others. So I emailed Dr. Michael Persinger to ask him what he thought of Dr. Andrija Puharich and Persinger responded that he thought Puharich was greatly underappreciated. Soon after Persinger actually conducted the ELF telepathy experiment that Puharich recommends in his ELF Magnetic Model of Mind and Matter book that is linked. At any rate, like Puharich, some have implicated Persinger in using ELF waves for mind control experiments as part of Navy research yet Persinger has argued that when there was less ELF electromagnetic pollution then people had stronger theta brain telepathy and visions. Persinger’s latest vision has been a very direct promotion of what I exposed as the Actual Matrix Plan -- Dr. Persinger has documented that this telepathy is increased when the person can increase their own person brain's 7 hertz field so that it synchronizes with human brains' around it and also resonates with the earth's geomagnetic field. Dr. Persinger says that the windows computer operating system blocks telepathy because it uses all frequencies and also modern technology has caused a dramatic decrease in natural paranormal abilities. Yet with the proper focus on the energy of the paranormal abilities – the Earth's resonance energy – then technology can be developed that will mimic what I call the natural resonance revolution. Dr. Persinger then argues this new technology will bring a utopia because of the inherent empathy and because there will be no more secrets. Dr. Persinger says the technology will be holographic but the military implications are not discussed – nor is discussed who will be in control. From Dr. Michael Persinger, in a March 2011 university video lecture called No More Secrets: So Michael Persinger has used the same type of math that Puharich used to argue for a quantum phase wavelength – based on de Broglie’s quantum relativity science – so that the human mind consciousness could potentially interact with the universe as a whole. He is coauthor of a paper on how human thought might affect the universe and goes about measuring the size of the universe as a wavelength of apparent consciousness. All I can say is that Puharich did a similar measurement with the ELF wave and the size of a galaxy. The Holographic Universe Confirmed as Real by the Qigong Masters! Now without going into the wild speculative science I will offer the qigong master claim of Chunyi Lin having his heart stop for over two hours and yet he was functioning fine the whole time! This is on the video archives of the international Spring Forest Qigong Guild –which has free membership registration to access the videos at http://sfqguild.com This is how qigong master Chunyi Lin describes this level of Emptiness: “You see something without feeling anything.” And “It's way beyond the vitality in your body alone.” Qigong master Chunyi Lin emphasized he does not recommend this experience for others! From a science perspective qigong master Chunyi Lin has read the book The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot. Chunyi Lin said that the book is an accurate portrayal of how qigong masters experience the universe. For example qigong master Jim Nance described being able to go see inside the body even on the microscopic level and this is also described by the spiritual healer “Adam the Dream Healer” – confirmed to have his third eye fully open by qigong master Effie Chow. Qigong master Jim Nance describes dimensional travel as like through a portal or gateway – like a wormhole or black hole into a white hole. Suffice it to say, science has begun to document that there are real energy masters out there who are spiritual healers. But this skill is as old as humanity itself! The best book on the original human culture healing energy is Dr. Bradford Keeney’s Ropes to God: Experiencing the Bushman Spiritual Universe. Actually the cave art, as Keeney details, depicts astral travel (“ropes”) from the trance dance celibacy training. The ropes are the astral light ropes out of the top of the head to go into heaven or astral ropes out of the belly to have telepathy and travel across Earth. Here is how a Westerner experienced the real laser holographic love healing from a true Bushmen spiritual master. This was actually shown on cable t.v. – a very rare documentation! Andrew Zimmern describes it in his book: Toward what I believed to be the end of the evening, Xaxe, a great hunter, healer, and shaman, laid hands on me....I felt the energy, his energy, surge through my body. He had his hands on me for about twenty-five or thirty seconds, but it felt like he had only touched me for a split second. Time stood still. I literally had a short out of body experience. I could see him touching me from just above my body, almost like I was floating six feet off the ground, watching myself. All of a sudden I was back in my body observing an image of him thumbing through the book that contained all the pictures and moments in my life. I saw images of my childhood I hadn't remembered in years, pictures of my mother and me walking on a beach and shelling, very strong images. At the time, both during his touch and immediately afterward, I described it as him flipping through the pages of my life....Later the next morning, I spoke with Xaxe about the trance dance. He told me he wanted access to me in a way that was not possible through a translator....Xaxe's curiosity was such a caring, loving gesture....When he detached from me it felt like someone was unplugging a lamp from a wall socket. As he let go of me and continued to dance around the fire, I spontaneously burst into uncontrollable tears....I had been stripped to my emotional core, completely stunned by what I had witnessed so up close and personal. Andrew Zimmern, The Bizarre Truth: how I walked out the door mouth first – and came back shaking my head (Random House, 2009), 234-5. So I hope this article has given a decent overview of how spiritual healers could shock people like an electric eel, as John Chang is shown to do. Remember just because someone can fake something does not disprove that others are doing it in a spiritual manner! That’s a logical fallacy of the skeptics. Like John Chang, Chunyi Lin also experienced a master at Shaolin who could light things on fire with his eyes! From Chunyi Lin’s book Born A Healer: Then, he said he wanted to make another demonstration. He grasped a piece of paper from the table, newspaper. He put it in his hand and just stared at it. Within one or two minutes, smoke came out and then, Voom! Fire. I just said, “Wow.” After my first master's meditations, my back pain completely went away but I still had two bone spurs on my spine. So, I asked Master Yau if he could do something for my back. He said, “Oh, yes.” He used two fingers to touch my back. Within one or two minutes, his fingers felt like two burning hot iron stakes. Very, very hot. Oh, you just don't know the sensation. It was like fire burning there. Later, when I got home I found two fingerprints on my back where he touched me. To tell the truth, I also wanted to test Master Yau to see whether the burning paper was real or not. Many people called themselves Qigong masters but they were fakes. They would make demonstrations like that but put some sort of chemical on the paper and hold it in the sun and it would burst into flames. Like a magician's trick. So, I still did not trust him completely. But, after he touched me with his two fingers, and the bone spurs completely disappeared, I totally believed in him and told him I wanted to have him teach me. And so folks there are real spiritual healers out there! They are rare and science can only really speculate on how they are able to have such amazing powers. I have personally experienced this laser holographic love energy! The qigong masters can see inside people’s bodies! They can do long distance healing! I encourage people to investigate this energy for themselves. I first went to experience qigong master Effie Chow in 1995. I was so skeptical I asked for the admission price to be reduced and she allowed me to attend for half price – only $10. Then she transmitted electromagnetic chi energy – or I don’t know – shen laser holographic spirit energy. She had us make “chi balls” between the palms of our hands and sure enough I felt strong electromagnetic energy pushing my hands apart. Then when everyone was leaving the University room where she had given her presentation, a female security guard wandered in wondering what was going on. The guard said the fuse in the room behind us – the fuse had been blown – in the room behind qigong master Effie Chow. Here are the qigong masters I recommend: Effie Chow, Wang Liping, Master Zhang of http://qigongmaster.com and Jim Nance and Chunyi Lin of http://springforestqigong.com and John Chang but he has made himself scarce to Westerners since it takes a pure harmonization environment to build up this spiritual energy. Qigong master Yan Xin is now a “national treasure” of the Chinese government after the government cracked down on mass qigong healings in China. So the government controls his physical movements. You can read a great overview of qigong in China called Qigong Fever by Professor David Palmer.

I usually get confirmation from other people and beings in the dream state, but it doesn't mean I always agree with said path or what I am aiming for. There is no path, but the path itself. There is no confirmation, besides the one you realize for yourself and are willing to acknowledge.

Indeed. I guess I should extrapolate on the point i was trying to make. It is not the altar or customs that make one spiritual. It is the Spirit that made the altar or customs. Just how Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Voodoo's, and dare I even say Satanist who have their own altars... Now if one is willing to get into a discussion concerning the relevance of how altars are symbolic and can be anchors for and in one's subconscious mind, this I am willing to invest time in. Reason being, I remember going out of body once and found myself some where near the Vatican and went underground to this basement that had a cross of some kind with a bunch of jewelery. No idea what that dream was about or why I was there. The only thing that came to mind was this item held a energetic relevance some how. lolz. Sort of like Zelda.

Aliens? Are they kind (good)? Is not it mind game? Is it spiritual to have such connections? I am reading C. Castaneda's books again after 8 years and find it very inspiring. But many authentic traditions (even taoist) stand to avoid these contacts. Do you do any special practice like lucid dreaming? I am just trying to be more aware at the day time and consider it as a dream and not to miss my practice. As for late practice meditations from DVD2 it does not make me "awake", I do not do 90 80 50 20. And sleep very well. I just wonder should we develop lucid dreaming or may be we need good rest at night time? Taoists say it dispersing much jing. And they even do some practice to avoid it. (I just have suspicion that Castaneda was taught in authentic lineage )

So, who said that shamatha is jhana? And how do you know that your state was jhana? You should not equate jhana with shamatha. They are two different words, two different concepts. The jhanas are mental states that you go through as the mind becomes more and more subtle and refined, even the formless jhanas. According to all the literature that I've read, mantra repetition could possibly take you to the first jhana, but must be abandoned to get any higher. Even Ajahn Char, who advocates "Buddho" mantra breath meditation during non-meditating waking hours, has instructions for breath meditation that do not include mantra repetition. But, here is the thing, you can still have thoughts all the way up to the eighth jhana. Having thoughts is a sign that the mind has not yet been stilled. So, technically, stilling the mind via shamatha takes you past the eighth jhana. The jhanas are finer and finer levels of consciousness. When the mind is stilled, the whole coarse mind collapses. You experience the awareness, the golden field of light, collapse and shrink back down into the heart. There is an accompanying swoon and mini-death-like experience. That has been my experience. And really, if you think about and had experience in it, you would have to ask yourself, if a prerequisite of shamatha is vitakka and vicarra, which is directed and sustained attention on one object, to the exclusion of all other objects, how can starting and stopping a mantra while trying to focus on what you are starting and stopping, be considered to be one continuous flow of attention? It is like running your own puppet show, and making pretend that you aren't actually making the puppet perform. I did mantra repetition for 4 1/2 years without success. It wasn't until I sustained my attention on the "I" (first letter of the visualized mantra) that I experienced an astonishing samadhi that I didn't know was even possible. Everything got real bright, there was only the subject, observation and the object, and then all three fused together, with a great amount of bliss and pure consciousness. That is the event which made me realize that mantra repetition does not produce samadhi. That is what made me investigate patanjali's limbs of yoga: Dharana and Dhyana, whose counterparts in Buddhism are Vitakka and vicara. Mantra repetition is not CONTINUAL SUSTAINED attention. Mantra repetition is not stability. You need the stabilization part; the continuous attention part. And, mantra repetition, the sounding off of sound, mental or otherwise, causes the throat chakra to activate, producing more and more dream forms and other manifestations. It's kind of like plugging the in-end (hose) of the vacuum cleaner to the out-end of the vacuum cleaner and just letting the dirt circulate. How is that 'stilling the mind'? You have to shut the vacuum cleaner off to still the mind, not stir up dirt and re-direct the flow.. TI There may be Dzogchen in Buddhism, but there is no Buddhism in Dzogchen. - Alan Wallace.

I have a confession to make. In relation to the manifesting thread here, I thought I might know my enemy and give it a try. In the last month, I've applied some of the principles, and have come up with a tentative conclusion: It works. Sorry to say, but I have to bite my tounge as to the efficacy of the methods. But more importantly, be REALLY careful what you wish for!!! I won't go into details, but this shit is potent. And it will generate a shitload of bad karma if you don't pay close attention. It's actually quite X-filish! Secondly, there seem to be different degrees of ease to the stuff you aspire to manifest. Some things just appear out of thin air with little or small amount of effort. As to other things, they seem to manifest in relation to the unconsious resitance residing in relation to what you are contemplating. Actually quite intriguing. I seem to have quite alot of resistance towards affluence in regards to money. But it does work in this department as well. Secondly, I attended a retreat where we focused on Qigong methods for working with relationships. Combining the two has worked wonders for me. Lastly, I feel something approaching nausea towards the lingo and emphasis of the contributors of "The secret" and other "positive thinking" gurus. But if I take it down to the core essence, like reading the old hermetic texts, it is quite in line with daoist paradigms. Conclusion. If you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true. But be careful that it doesn't turn into a nightmare... Jeeezzz h PS: I visualized getting an A on my master's. Haven't gotten a grade yet, so that's exciting.

Hi D I hate to break this to you, but you cannot still the mind using a mantra. You cannot enter shamatha using a mantra. That is not what a mantra is for. Mantra repetition is for manifesting, cleansing, directing the prana or winds.. Look closely at what occurs during mantra repetition. When you first intend to sound the mantra, vocally or sub-vocally, the first place that activates is the lower tan tien (just below the navel and in). This is the chi that is going to empower the mantra. The chi comes up and then circulates in the throat chakra (which is also the chakra for dream activation). The chi (or prana) then flows to the areas of the body related to the particular sounds. Case in point. Most mantras end in "mmm" or 'ng'. The purpose is to bring the circuit of chi/prana to the brow, or as close to the third eye as possible. Aum.. Om.. Aung, Om Mani Padme Hung. Or, with other mantras, to bring the chi up and then back down, like Om Nama Shivaya. The last 'ya' takes the energy back down to the navel.. So what has all this directing of energy, filtering it through the throat chakra and moving around got to do with shamatha? Absolutely nothing! How are you going to make a pool of water calm and still by throwing in pebbles every few seconds? Let's see.. ok. repeat the mantra. ( the mind performs the task). Then it waits (or not) and thinks, "now I must perform the mantra again".. ( the mind performs the task). Observes that the mantra has faded, thinks again, " now I must perform the mantra again".. The act of initiating the mantra is using the mind. It is agitating the mind. How is the mud in the water bottle going to settle if you keep on shaking the jar? The reason why breath meditation is so popular and is an effective tool, is because breathing goes on regardless of whether or not you are consciously performing the breathing. As a matter of fact, it is very hard to watch the breath and not control it. Breathing, when left alone, does not require any thinking. Thus, the mind can go to great depths of stillness because the mind has nothing to do but let go and watch. Do you get these principles? Even watching the breath while reciting a mantra, although it may be a good training tool for beginners, is also not something that will still the mind. Both of the methods that you have mentioned in your practice are not shamatha practice. The second could be called a 'mindfulness practice', but it will never still the mind. This probably sounds like a broken record, but, if you are really interested in how to practice shamatha, I would get a hold of 'The Attention Revolution" by Alan Wallace. He explains everything quite well, all the steps, the phases of practice and more. It is quite an amazing book and will clear up some of the popular misconceptions that people have. Also, the technique of dissolving thoughts, which is also a shamatha practice, is described by Alan Wallace in his Dzogchen podcasts. It is called "taking the impure mind as the path". http://archive.org/details/IntroductionToDzogchenRetreatWithAlanWallace2012 This is also described by Tenzin Wangyal in the "Five Elements" book and other sources. For example: http://blog.gaiam.com/quotes/authors/tenzin-wangyal The technique of dissolving thoughts is also described in various Dozgchen books. Hopefully that helps. TI

In my experience, a great method of transmutation of said energies is not to fight them, but recognize what they are showing me about myself. If I can understand what it is they are trying to "take" or "control" in me, then there is little left for them to exploit any longer. It is all based on thought-form creation and manipulation to me. Even in a "dream" or "astral" state it is possible to maintain presence such not to give into these sorts of situations. Your frustration towards it shows that it still has some kind of control over you. Only sharing what I have learned. This may not be the case for you, and I'm not denying that you are on the receiving end of some kind of metaphysical attack from someone. In a way though, isn't that what any "negative" thought is against anyone, only that the "dark arts" harness these energies better in a more conscious way. Thank you for sharing and giving me a chance to explore this myself.

I am with you 100% haha In addition + more time for art / music! A dream come true!

Thank you for sharing. Tis what I figured. Some thing seeking to influence or enact harm is what I figured, since I do not dabble in the dark arts nor do I care about them. But when stuff like this comes around, it is good, in my opinion to understand them. I had a similar expierence with floating black orbs about a year ago. I had fell asleep and could literally feel the energy from this orb attacking me. What ended up happening was I fell asleep, woke up out of body and shot energy at this orb with my hands and it went away never to be seen again. I also remember this old lady who looked like the one who sucked me off in the dream as well. It seems she was seeking to reduce my Jing energy to weaken me. It seems a relative of mine has a favorite psychic of some sort she uses to invade my privacy and home, to get the "upper hand" in a current family fued. Talk about ridiculous. I've prayed about it and have yet to recieve any consultation concerning the matter from higher beings concerning this sorcerery and attack. Not to sure if it is a harnessed soul, ghost, or energy 'agent' that this psychic uses, but I'm getting tired of this wench and the relative behind this.
