  1. The things that children can see

    By the way--do you think its possible, or likely, that those Tibetan men allowed themselves to be video taped so that someone like me could watch them on TV, and receive a personal communication of sorts when the show aired? Maybe they allowed themselves to be taped so that they could look into the camera and send a message to any children watching, or those who are less programmed than adults usually are--the message being just the spreading of an awareness of spirit? I ask because not long ago I had a very vivid dream in which a Tibetan man performed superhuman 'light body skills'. N-
  2. Hello all, I would like to share some thoughts with you all. I assure you all that I am totally honest and truthful in these stories. But first, some lyrics from a song I like, in order to set the mood. "A man lies in his bed in a room with no door. He waits, hoping for a presence, something-anything-to enter. After spending half his life here he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stared. He is alive, but feels absolutely nothing- so is he? When he was six, the moon overhead followed him. By nine, he had deciphered the illusion. Trading magic for fact-no trade backs. 'So this is what its like to be an adult'. If he only knew now, what he had known then. Okay, now then... I have told no more then three people this, ever, in my whole life. I don't even think I've told my wife about this, but I want to share it here. I swear on everything I love its the truth, Im not making this story up. I remember once, living in Locust street, I was maybe five or six. I couldn't have been very old because I was in kindergarten. I had a teacher, who seemed very nice to me, a very old woman then to such a young child, She was probably in her 60's or 70's. She once locked a boy in the closet to punish him. I remember him screaming, terrified. There was a woman who lived down the street a few houses, my mother used to take me to her house once in a while. She had so many colorful antique bottles in her house, and long green shag carpet. My friend Stevie-a girl- lived across the street. I remember one year, my mom brought me to see her on halloween-I can't remember who I was ressed as, but She was dressed as Madonna-the musician. Key feature of her costume being a mole. She moved away soon after, and Eli and his mother moved in. Eli was a couple years older than me (I must have been no older then five, now that I think about it.) Eli used such dirty words; we would be playing with our (my) Transformers and GI Joe's and such-one of my favorite things to do--and Eli would have one of the toys on top of the other, with its legs spread, screaming-'You fucking bitch! You're gonna do what I fuckin say! Give me head you filthy whore!"... I didn't understand then why he played that way, or why he cussed so much. He was always doing things that he shouldn't-smoking, starting fires, and so on. Eli dated a girl (at that age when having a girlfriend meant that you might at most kiss her on the cheek and hold hands. It was more innocent at that time. Eli briefly went steady with this girl, and then it ended when she broke up with him. She was best friends with my friend Amber, who also lived across the street. Her name was Kelly. I remember, in all honesty, the first time I saw her, it was love at first sight-for me. Some people-most people maybe-don't have a clue about love at first site, or they think its a myth. I mean to tell you, that even though I was maybe six or seven, I was in love with this girl, at first site of her. It was so exhilarating-it would be worth dying right now to live one day in that feeling. How it mast have hurt Eli's feelings when I started 'going out' with Kelly. My mother, no doubt hearing me talk about Kelly all the time, arranged for me to go on my first date-with Kelly--It was 1989, so I was 7. I know this, because we saw 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'. Predictably, Eli has been in and out of prison and other trouble for some time now. I wish he could be released from the prison of his memories. I have a vivid memory of how when I was that age, I played in the snow in jeans and a sweat shirt. Actually sitting down in the snow and making shapes in it. My hands, legs feet, crotch all soaked from sitting in the snow. I wasn't even shivering. I just played in the snow, having fun, until eventually I got bored and went inside. I think I'd nearly die of I did that now. Oddly, I've had the feeling for a very long time that I would die at or before age 30. I'm 27 now, and if I keep progressing with my consciousness the way I have been recently, I think that I just might. As in, my ego. It wasn't until about 3-4 years ago that I realized that I will be 30 in the year 2012. How comical, given the beliefs around that date. I've told my mother about my 'death' for many years, though not recently. I remember watching a documentary on TV about men in Tibet who sing with this sort of double voice; it sounds as if two different people are chanting about 1 octave apart when they do it. After watching the show, I practiced a few minutes and I was able to do it too. I'm told this was a pretty special ability, vocally. Especially for a little kid. Anyway, on to the point of this post: I was lying in bed about this age, living in the same house, and I had, for lack of a better phrase, an experience. Lying on my bed, which was covered in toys, I became paralyzed. A red skinned devil appeared at the foot of my bed, looking much like 'Darkness' from the movie, 'The Labyrinth'. I was paralyzed, and more afraid than I have ever been. This devil produced a cane pole, or reed pole, about 3-4 feet long. Being paralyzed, I couldn't stop him when he connected one end to his penis, and the other end to my penis. It felt so bad, yet so good; I had an orgasm. soon after, this Devil, smiling an evil, psychotic smile, disappeared. Vanished, really. I felt a female voice warm me against sexual depravity, as if I would miss out on spiritual advancement if I indulged in sex: it would distract me from the path. An instance later, I was able to move again, and this devil was gone, although EVERYTHING in the room was exactly as it had been in the 'dream', if that's what it was. Another time, I had gone to Kelly's house to see if she could come play. I had become sort of friends with her and her sisters. While playing with her sisters in their back yard, I got this strange feeling, and everything in my vision-especially around my head-had this golden glow to it. I had a sort of devious, or maybe mischievous smile on my face and was bathed in this golden glow. I don't think it was perceptible to anyone but me. I don't know what the hell this might mean, the Devil experience, or anything else, but I just had to post it here, in hopes that someone will have information in the meaning of these experiences. I don't have much knowledge about the Occult, or symbolic meaning, but I have no doubt that these experiences mean something very significant. I just don't know what. Take care, and thanks for reading! Nate
  3. Everything you wanted to know about ...

    Mal -- thanks for sharing. I had originally posted this comment on my blog and it kept getting removed! It's MY blog but someone is hacking it! haha. Yesterday I started the day with cilantro -- I bought two organic bunches -- and garlic. Then I dumpster dived some meat sandwiches and some bread pastries (sugar) and some salad. I ate a bulb of garlic with that big meal -- so I had already over a bulb of garlic. I slept the meal off napping while reading an excellent book about these grizzly bears befriending a Canadian female zoo-keeper. The bears had been eating out of dumpsters as well. I once had a dream about this white bear against a tree in my yard of my childhood. I went to check out the tree -- an old oak -- and it had recently been cut down. Bears are the spiritual animal for the circumpolar cultures (my own ethnic background of Sweden and also the Native American culture of Minnesota). Anyway one of the bears is playing with the zookeeper and the bear pulls away and destroys a hand toy. But the zookeeper as a joke quick puts her hand hiding in her pocket. The bear thinks the zookeeper hand is missing and suddenly feels sad and concerned, thinking that she had accidently pulled the zookeeper's hand off. The zookeeper asked the other two zookeepers what they thought and all three confirmed that the bear had been sad and concerned and then when the zookeeper pulled out her hand and ended her joke, the bear then showed relief and went back to playing. Anyway soon after my nap I then pass the meal out of my system -- because I had a lot of fiber so it moved fast. I continued eating garlic as I biked home and then did a full-lotus O at a D session. When I got home I made a big glass of coffee and ate more garlic -- that cleared that day's meal out of my system. Then I watched "I survived" and ate more garlic. I have a couple cloves left -- so that was 3 bulbs for a couple meat sandwiches and some sugar -- they were Mexican pastries so they don't have too much sugar. Still I have to have a really pure diet and need to get the food out of my system or else it goes to my head. haha. So that was a pretty good day of clearing out a dirty meal. If I'm more careful about my diet then I don't need to eat so much garlic.
  4. Avatar: The last airbender

    Well so I guess watching too much isn't so good, I had two really weird nightmares today and one of them was with the avatar... It seemed like I was Kitara (hard to tell sometimes in my dreams). Me, Sokka and Aang were going somewhere. We had to swim underwater for a while, then went through a forest. There we were caught by some soldiers. All fine till here, but now it gets weird. They threatened us and I suddenly got behind Aang and placed a large sword on the floor in front of him, after which I pushed him on it. While he was standing there pierced, I pulled a shorter sword and cut off his head with one cut. After his body hit the floor I threw myself on the floor next to him and cried like crazy. Sokka was just watching in shock. And the soldiers left. Then it seemed like it was all some kind of trick, but I can't say for sure because noises started to wake me up and so the dream didn't finish.
  5. Everything you wanted to know about ...

    This is awesome. Exactly. I killed myself and now I kill you! haha. I went 8 days on half a glass of water. After that I destroyed my journal and even Dr. Yan Xin's qigong meditation tape! I saw dead spirits! People were completely freaking out from the strength of my electromagnetic energy. I accidently pulled this old lady's spirit out of her skull and she immediately bawled for at least 15 minutes straight. So this stuff goes totally against Western civilization and for the past 10 years my goal has been to try to integrate back into the West. When I went 8 days on no food and half a glass of water my mom SCREAMED BLOODY MURDER but I still healed her with love. That was an "exorcism." Exorcism is real -- spirit possession is the emotional energy that gets stuck in our organs and possesses us, making us fixate on a thought without freedom of mind. Bliss and light lead to consciousness which is beyond bliss and light -- this is the secret message of nondualism. My model is "sound-current nondualism." Even food is a possession -- the 3 worms of Taoism are the 3 grains -- rice, wheat and soy. Listen to the new Mantak Chia interview at http://martialdevelopment.com -- he states that in order to create an immortal spirit body you have to go without food. But again if you try that in the West you get locked up for trying to starve yourself to death. And it is dangerous. Master Ni, Huang-chi of L.A. talks about "ghost pollution" -- Chunyi Lin says the same thing -- how he has to return to a room over and over until finally the ghosts are cleared out. So modern civilization has many hungry ghosts which then feed off people's lower emotions -- the energy of civilization: anger, fear, worry, sadness and lust as overexcitement. In order to eat properly it's important to not have much physical exercise but I bike to work because I don't like creating car pollution. Chunyi Lin and Jim Nance have big fancy SUVs! haha. Chunyi Lin's house is full of fancy new gadgets from the Mall of America -- as my friend told me when he went there for a healing. And people like Chunyi Lin and Mantak Chia encourage students to fly in from around the world for healing. So Taoism has been integrated into Capitalism -- Dr. David Palmer's book Qigong Fever is an excellent analysis of this dynamic -- and in fact I discovered that the Tai-Chi symbol for Spring Forest Qigong -- the "long" wave of the yin and yang is exactly the same as a famous qigong master in China who came under scrutiny for commodifying and commercializing the qigong training. Or consider the "crazy" tantra of OSHO -- the excellent book "Karma Cola" details how the Ashram in India regularly sent Americans to the U.S. embassy in India and then the OSHO students were promptly sent to mental institutions back at the states! Was OSHO wrong? It's like the terrorist full-lotus training in Japan -- the AUM cult which is STILL popular. It's apocalyptic and bizarre -- it's tantric. Traditionally tantriks had to eat shit! And back in Africa the qigong training was tied directly to cannibalism -- read MODERNITY IN WITCHCRAFT -- an excellent book -- because healing magic relies on "eating the kin network" -- the female jing energy. The Bushmen called it "Collecting the N/um of young maidens." It's like really strong sexual tension where the female sucks up electromagnetic fields from your brain and in turn you suck up sex energy from the female. In that scenario food is NOT an option -- yet because I bike 10 miles a day on average -- then I can't continue the "O at a D" fun on the bike (although females call out to me while I'm biking!) One thing is the "Holier than thou" paradox of spiritual training. For example Jim Nance told me he wanted to help out his community -- the African-American community. And I'm sure he has so much -- he made a presentation at an Afrocentric conference in Chicago for example. But when I've talked to "Inner city" African-Americans about qigong they're response is: Yeah well if they could do that healing for free but these Chinese want to come over here to make a bunch of money. Fair enough! So I've been doing free healing -- but there's a cost to it in terms of food, and transportation, etc. So I actually just moved into my sister's basement. I had been renting a room for $300 a month (on average) for the past 8 years. I stayed there because I had a precognitive dream about the room -- a couple of them. Anyway the rent jumped up with the property taxes sky-rocketing since it was part of the condo bust/boom (the corner condos started at $700,000 each). So I've lived here for just 2 months! haha. But when I'm sitting in full-lotus I'm having O at a Ds through the walls and ceilings and then I have to eat tons of garlic to kill the parasites and toxins from regular food. The garlic smell then goes away with the cosmic orgasm magnetic bliss energy. haha. I think my next move will be just to stay in the basement -- to stop biking -- and maybe do phone healing if people are interested. I then will have a totally clean diet -- bigu -- fast one day a week (the same day as Chunyi Lin -- monday -- and then eat a Vitamix meal of green -- a green smoothie, once a day, the rest of the week). I'll start charging just $10 per phone healing and then as my energy builds up I'll charge more. Let me know if people are interested because I've worked at Clean Water Action for 10 years but they're automating -- using a speed dialer now -- and my new position there is not too good and the financial crisis completely cut the funding for Clean Water Action, plus there politically tied to the Democratic party now after the Campaign Finance Reform of 2006 -- read the book "Activism, Inc." for details -- by a Professor out east. BTW -- this is the UNEDITED INTERVIEW RIGHT HERE -- it's 18 pages long! So I don't hold back at all and anyone who wants to "judge" me should take a peek! haha. http://www.martialdevelopment.com/wordpres...rest-qigong.pdf
  6. If you can meditate at the beginning of the day and when you feel the anxiety - it helps me to become re-centered. When I left home to go to the university at age 17 (I am from a really small town in the mountains of N.C.) I would dream of home and the places I liked to go walking. When I went back - my friends asked me why didn't I stop. I asked them what they were talking about and was told that they saw me walking and called out but I never stopped to talk to them... I asked them what time was it that they saw me? Every one that saw me said it was past 10PM. I told them that I always was asleep by that time.
  7. question about nonduality and sex

    The only other description of the "O at a D" that I discovered is in Colin Wilson's book "The Occult" -- about Gurdjieff. The female reports that her sex chakra was activated -- she had a climax -- after she and Gurdjieff made eye contact for a staring session in a restaurant, while Gurdjieff did deep breathing, on the other side of the room. Colin Wilson points out that Aleister Crowley could not do this yet Crowley is considered the master of sex and the superstar of the Western occult scene -- in fact Gurdjieff knew that Crowley was a big fake. haha. Just goes to show how mislead Westerners are about paranormal abilities. I typically have half a dozen O at a Ds a day -- the thing is that I can't eat food anymore! This is called "bigu" in Taoism and Gurdjieff hardly ate food as well. Food though does turn into sex energy -- generative force -- which is the heat in the belly and then when ionized through the small universe practice creates the brain bliss. The vagus nerve tranduces the bliss -- serotonin -- into the brain but the vagus nerve ALSO transduces anaerobic bacteria (the shit smell). haha. So this ability is adapted for famine conditions -- the Bushmen would regularly go on long water fasts while they hunted. It works through the vagus nerve -- once I saw a female coworker who always crosses her legs and bounces them -- and while doing so the right side of her neck was pulsating. That's the vagus nerve climax -- it's exactly the same as what happens with me, only that because of the small universe training the hormones are transduced into electromagnetic fields and shot out of the pineal gland. If I eat meat then I have more sex energy and can more easily give O at a Ds to females. There's several ways the energy flows -- the jing is female electrochemical energy while the female sucks up the male electromagnetic energy via the sex organs and the eyes. So if a female senses my electromagnetic energy then there is immediate attraction -- it depends on the female if the attraction is subconscious or if they act on it. Either way there is then display behavior -- since we're primates -- it's instinctual -- displaying the backside in order to suck up the electromagnetic energy. Professor Robert Sapolsky's books on testosterone and primate behavior has a lot on "backside displays." haha. Or flexing the chest so that the breasts suck up the electromagnetic energy. Spread-eagle is another option and eye contact as well. The female will very precisely position herself -- with laser precision -- so that my third eye energy shot out of my eyes goes into those electrochemical energy points on her body. I've had verbal confirmation from strangers as well but that's rare -- usually it's expressed indirectly. A prostitute did a livid backside disply in my face at Taco Bell and then when her pimp showed up with a client she exclaimed I'm "cuming already!" A homeless Native American did lap dances to my full-lotus on the sidewalk and later sat next to me in McDonald's stating over and over "Do you know what you're doing to me?" A young college female in the next booth of an anarchist cafe told her newly arrived friends that I was "orgasmic." And so on. In the meantime the full-lotus sucks up the female electrochemical energy. Everyone has this female electrochemical energy but males are focused on sublimating it into electromagnetic energy -- I think for hunting skills (or a 9 to 5 job). Females can do this as well but the loss of iron I think affects the electromagnetic energy. Males do not realize that what causes females to be attracted to them is the electromagnetic energy. This is the secret connection between sex and love and it's totally unknown to modern humans! So if a male is fixated on ejaculation his own electromagnetic energy is stuck in his lower chakra -- with a quick recycling time -- constant deconversion into electrochemical bliss and then loss as physical fluid. The full-lotus will also suck up the male's electrochemical female energy and then shoot back electromagnetic energy -- but since the male does not know how to have the internal climax via the sublimated vagus nerve there is no psychic mutual climax. I might climax on my own if the male needs more than one "cum shot of chi" -- if the male is really old and sick or if the male is a perv and is therefore spent -- but once the male is charged up with electromagnetic energy there is no orgasm. It depends -- if they are a perv intentionally trying to suck me off so they can ejaculate then the male will need to run to the bathroom to jerk off. Yes it's happened! haha. Usually though the male will just feel energized. For the female though there is a continuous build-up of free energy -- climax after climax, each one more intense -- opening up the heart chakra more and more. Since I don't have a "tantric" partner there is a limit to this in public but the O at a Ds are cumulative -- so that after time there is an immediate heart connection when the energy exchange occurs. This is a real love experience with the following "broken heart" experience when separation occurs. It can happen through walls, ceilings, or long distance visual contact. I've even had PRECOGNITIVE O at a Ds! First in my dream and then a few days later in real life -- it was this girl in an imported food store. I was in there to buy garlic and parsley and she came in with her mom and as soon as she sensed the electromagnetic energy she started dancing around in front of me. I wasn't in full-lotus so there probably wasn't a psychic mutual climax but there might have been since I've had them just through reverse-breathing. But again this is limited in public. In other words even the overexcitement of love is still just an emotion with its ups and downs -- until finally the heart energy builds up in electromagnetic force to open the pineal gland via the shen or light energy. The light shen energy is considered the "real Kundalini awakening" -- and the person goes into a fast for a week -- with no water even (I had half a glass) and the body converts to electromagnetic fields so that the hands and feet pulsate in their center energy points. The top of the skull gets soft like a baby -- the fissure opening up -- water is produced from the atmosphere so that the brain produces water through electromagnetic reversal of hydrogen and oxygen. The voice is the expression of the generative force female electrochemical jing energy. Normally I don't have a deep voice -- physically I'm something of a runt. 5 11 in height but I had 24 rabie vaccine shots in my stomach when I was 2 years old and so my development was stunted just a bit. Also I was vegetarian -- eating tons of tofu -- for 10 years or so before the qigong training. But when I take in the female electrochemical energy -- after a good O at a D session, then my voice is really deep. This is because the female releases testosterone at climax and this is sucked up from the full-lotus. It's transduced by the vagus nerve going up to the brain, making the voice deep. Also phone healings are really effective because you are working through the voice -- energy exchange over the internet is not as easy but I have had several O at a Ds with females on the internet. This is because the electrochemical energy of the female is imprinted and can be picked up via the pineal gland and then I can convert that female energy back into MORE electromagnetic energy which I then transmit back to the female. You might want to try eating meat to increase your sex energy. After I take in lots of female electrochemical sex energy as jing I have to convert it to electromagnetic chi or else at night it will deconvert to be lost as physical fluid. Also after I collect female electrochemical energy (the Bushmen called it the N/um) then I almost always undergo what I call PERV ATTACK -- seedy males looking to ejaculate will STALK ME! For example when you see males crossing their legs and pumping hard it's an attempt to suck off female electrochemical energy but to use it for their own ejaculation -- they don't know how to sublimate and ionize the energy to create pineal gland electromagnetic light energy for healing. I once had a female blatantly stare at me from less than 10 feet away while she crossed and pumped her legs frantically in an attempt to suck me off. I was not in full-lotus -- if I had been we would of had a psychic mutual climax. Her daughter was with her and was embarrassed for her mom! But the mom was "white trash" meaning that she, herself, was constantly surrounded by male pervs constantly sucking her off -- so she in turn has to resort to sucking males off. haha. I've had this from other females at work -- pumping while staring into my eyes. Staring at my penis. haha. Making crazy sex sounds or just running up to me to get close for quicker transmission. Young girls have "attacked" me in public -- that's why I had to start sitting in full-lotus in public as pre-emptive defense against being sucked off. That's why the O at a D is so rare and the more powerful qigong masters work with LIGHT SHEN healing. Chi is made up of the three -- electrochemical jing and electromagnetic chi and light shen. Light is holographic laser energy. You might want to get a phone healing from Chunyi Lin or Jim Nance http://springforestqigong.com and then you'll experience the laser-love initiation directly.
  8. Better than full lotus

    I'll just post this as my response since I touch on the full-lotus in here quite a bit -- but the Master Nan, Huai-chin reference is key -- real meditation doesn't start till AFTER the body is filled with electromagnetic fields and nirvikalpa samadhi is achieved called the "Emptiness" is Taoism. Master Wang, Liping states that very few studetnts actually open up the small universe! That's what he means -- Master Nan says the same thing that right beforehand the spiritual powers are used and the modern practicioner falls back into mundane reality - into worldliness. So the spiritual and the material really can't mix as Master Nan states. It's VERY RARE to find an energy master that can give real transmission and such a master will be able to sit in full-lotus for as long as they want -- Chunyi Lin says this is the easiest way to see if someone is a master -- and as I write below it's based on complementary opposites harmonics (be it Tai Chi, Small Universe or Full-lotus). Based on complementary opposite harmonics the full-lotus is the Tetrahedron which is the simplest 3 dimensional form resonance of the 2-3-4 (Yang-yin-emptiness) harmonics. I rely on the full-lotus not only to heal myself but to heal others -- and in fact in the "macrocosmic orbit" reality is merged outside of the body so indeed the energy affects each other through walls, ceilings, long-distance. The consciousness or "empty awareness" is always-already the "eternal nature" referred to in Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality trans. by Charles Luk. I highly recommend that book. Australia! I just read Sean Condon's amazing travel book on Australia -- thanks for reminding me of his book since I want to read his other books! haha. I rely on the public libraries, public food assistance, dumpster-diving, biking, and public park bathroom facilities, while working part-time at an environmental nonprofit lobbying political office and living in my sister's basement for below-market price. haha. So I'm a true Taobum! But I rely on http://springforestqigong.com for my spiritual assistance -- Chunyi Lin spent a month in a cave in full-lotus padmasana with no food, no water and NO SLEEP! He now heals patients referred to him by the Mayo Clinic here in Minnesota -- considered the top hospital in the world. He does phone healings as well. So Chunyi Lin is an amazing qigong master and his assistant Jim Nance is the first African-American qigong master, formerly a black belt in karate and he's traveled the world studying shamanism and then practiced zen before meeting Chunyi Lin. He's the real Morpheus! haha. I started posting online at http://gnn.tv where I posted my http://nonduality.com/hempel.htm -- expose on the Actual Matrix Plan. Then I discovered that Daniel Pinchbeck had a website http://breakingopenthehead.com so I tested psychotropics with my qigong training -- that was INTENSE. haha. That site is pretty inactive but Daniel is now at http://realitysandwich.com where I post. I also moved into the conspiracy websites -- and I post at a UK forum http://conspiracycentral.net. I've been banned from close to 10 websites (but first my email activist daily update list was wiped out by my University's administration because of my activism! That was 10 years ago though! haha) -- banned from all the science blogs by fellow Minnesotan -- biology professor PZ Myers -- he posts on SEED, the website for science blogs. Banned from http://unexplained-mysteries.com for bringing up the "tantric" aspects of paranormal. haha. I do have several articles published at http://mind-energy.net (for free) about "psychic music" -- one called "Against Archytas" and my masters thesis from 2001 is linked plus with another interview in spanish at http://mondopsicotronico.net and I have an article at http://viewzone.com called "The BioMusic Conspiracy" which has a nice aboriginal graphic posted by the webmaster Dan Eden. I just got banned from http://ufomystic.com -- well not really but Greg Bishop posted on my blog http://naturalresonancerevolution.blogspot.com as a joke since he already told me to stop posting comments longer than his blog posts! haha. http://rigint.blogspot.com Jeff Wells is an awesome Canadian author published by http://trineday.com -- I highly recommend his book Rigorous Intuition. All the authors from Kris Millegan's conspiracy bookhouse out of Oregon are excellent -- Daniel Hopsicker, Peter Levenda, etc. One of the Danel Pinchbeck posters moved my "psychic music" discussion over to http://webofmimicry.com which is an alternative music band promoter/recording website getting a lot of European readers. I've posted there alot and had quite a bit of critical analysis of my work. Math Professor Joe Mazur encouraged me to further my research on Archytas and recommended I submit my work to a top math journal! haha. I was first published though by infamous Reptilian Exposer David Icke and readers at his site have continued to post my writing -- after that it's all "up hill!" haha. My old "blogbook" http://mothershiplanding.blogspot.com is archived at David Icke's forum -- half of it -- the second half is from my old http://gnn.tv blog. I just started posting at the "top" conspiracy website http://abovetopsecret.com which has had new threads on psychic music and paranormal healing -- plus they have some great videos on the CIA and the Mafia. http://paranoiamagazine.com almost published an article by me -- http://conspiracyjournal.com has a new book publishing company and email list that I receive and I just listened to http://theparacast.com interview with Curt Sutherly. I'm currently reading several books from titles I gleaned from those videos! http://dailygrail.com from Australia is a must-read -- Greg Taylor has his own online publishing company and has followed the Dan Brown success. http://anomalist.com is where Patrick Hughye the science anomaly writer has worked with Loren Coleman the cryptid author -- they've linked my research as well. Another book publishing website combo plus there's a video site. http://disinfo.com is another awesome book publishing website combo. I've been listening to http://coasttocoastam.com almost nightly as well -- and I've sent them my research a bit since both George Noory and Ian Punnett have close ties to Minnesota. Another fascinating Minnesota writer and healer is http://transcendentdreaming.com Various forums have discussed my research online and sometimes I'll post a response with a follow-up dialog, etc. http://brainsturbator.com is one site like that which is quite interesting. http://martialdevelopment.com just did an interview with me but I was extra weird so that probably won't get published! haha. I've submitted to several publishers over the years and have had some interest but mostly I would need to do all the work ahead of time -- write the book first. I might do that but I like the flow of dialog better -- like Socrates! http://tribe.net had some discussion on tantra and 2012 that got pretty heavy! haha. My take on 2012 is that it's from the Tetrad of Pythagoras which means the "space" between the numbers are not even -- 1 + 1 does equal 2. This is from noncommutative geometry of Alain Connes who states that music is the best model to understand quantum chaos and that the future will be increasingly schizoid since it's like playing a whole orchestra at the same time in your brain. I've done that -- Orchestratal Training -- where you sit at the piano and "translate" -- read a line of music but play music that is several notes higher or lower -- and translate a dozen lines of music at the same time. I did that in high school! It's a real brain twister! haha. So when we go deep into music "time" no longer exists and being awake becomes a "dream" again -- it's the song lines of the aborigines. The OHM of the Digeradoo is the heart chakra -- it's the sound equivalent of the Tai-Chi Rainbowsnake symbol -- the complementary opposites of reality -- time is asymmetric as a spiral -- the future is predicted in the present -- there are different layers of time that are coterminous and which bend space. Nature is in control and no "one" is listening -- but the method of this madness -- the panic of Pan's Pipes -- is the "small universe" chakras along the outside of the body. I recommend the Level 1 Sitting Meditation c.d. from http://springforestqigong.com since it's only $11 or so and has the small universe training but there's also a "small universe" c.d. and the book "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" trans. by Charles Luk is focused solely on the small universe training with great detailed and advanced knowledge. Also the book "Nothing Ever Happens" -- the biography of H.W.L. Poonja by David Godman is an excellent 3 volume description of the skills and experiences of the highest level of spiritual energy master. Papaji or Poonjaji was the top student of Ramana Maharshi in the Dravidian culture of Southern India. Here's my latest rant reply to Jeff Well's new blogspot: Jeff -- Glad to HEAR your new blog emphasizes "psychic music" again. The "Old Ones" refers to constipation in my opinion. Newton discovered gravity while a huge pile of shit accumulated in the basement of his house and it was believed at the time that the fumes of shit were protection against the plague. Similar to hydrogen sulfide from garlic I guess. The whole paranormal physics scene with it's "quantum noise" is good for a mind fuck but doesn't open up Bataille's Solar Ass-Eye of the Brain, a la Michael Taussig's brilliant analysis. Luckily shit is now being turned into electricity via bacteria that ionize the protons and electrons. The secret to sound is that when the brain goes into alpha waves ultrasound is produced as well -- the bone resonance for piezoelectricity. The biophysics book "Magic of the Senses" details how humans can hear ultrasound -- but only WITHIN their brain (hence the subjective trickster nature of psychic music and paranormal politics). It's the same tone as the highest pitch you can hear externally only focused internally. The MALE PGYMY CHIMP, rhythmically rattling percussive sticks as its most common show of aggression for the peaceful, matrifocal primates, hardly ever ejaculates yet has sex all the time -- just "pulling it out" before "losing the load." Professor Sapolsky documents that the stress sympathetic nervous system is activated right at ejaculation but up till then the relaxation vagus nerve is activated. The female climax is through the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve when IONIZED BY ULTRASOUND transduces serotonin and anaerobic (shit) from the lower body into the brain. Sapolsky's mentor, Kummer's book "The Tangled Wing" details how ionization enables bypassing the blood-brain barrier. The bacteria is ionized and the hormone via ionization from ultrasound turns into neurotransmitter and via melatonin turns into DMT. Light is then created via the pineal gland that then bends spacetime as a laser for holographic healing energy. This is regulated by the female lunar cycle with the electromagnetic energy 10 times stronger during the full moon. Sound activates the electrochemical lunar energy stored in the lower body which again is ionized by the ultrasound but the frequency resonance whereby amplitude of the body is increased as higher harmonic overtones are listened to is the paradox of quantum chaos (noise). Aka the time-frequency uncertainty principle. The trickster of time.
  9. I wondered whether there's an 'alternative' explanation for a phenomenon that I occasionally (maybe once every few months) experienced years ago and now very rarely, or whether it is well known in common medicine: What happens is that in bed - as far as I remember typically in the state between waking and sleep - my whole body (pick a word, am not sure which applies best) winces/cringes/flinches/jerks once, like I was scared or touched something hot or unexpected, you know. Very abrupt, very short. Also powerful, but due to the shortness of it not at all violent or problematic. If I remember correctly, usually there was no mental imagery running when this happened, so not triggered by a vague dream or something.
  10. Taoism and Anarchy

    Ah, such friendly posts. I thought I may be stepping on some toes here, but I'm glad to see how accepting these reactions are. I do have to agree with Nanashi, sadly enough. Though it seems to make a lot of sense and really appeal to me, I believe it's more a dream than a reality that may one day come true... XP River Gazer, I get the feeling we may have a lot in common.
  11. use dream yoga to change past
  12. Andrew Lum/Patrick Moon contact

    Kunlun people are now being forbidden and threatened from inquiring about the SSTT side of Max's training/lineage, or having any contact with people able to confirm or deny his claims. A truly enlightened master would have no fear of sister lineages sharing support, information and working together. They would not need to manipulate, blackmail, attack, or make threats in order to isolate their students (or followers) from those outside the "flock". Their practice should stand for itself without fear or any of these types of manipulations. The foundation of what they teach and where they come from should be verifiable without any inflation, ego, tension or fear. It is never a healthy relationship when you must hand over your power to a mentor, follow his every word without question, cut yourself off from your support network or those outside your practice, force yourself to feel indebted to him and at the same time unworthy because you can't make yourself become invisible or see him as a glowing dragon and most of all, to completely hand over your filter to reason, question and make sure your experiences match up correctly with what's being taught. Your teacher should not make you feel vulnerable, scared, disproportionately indebted, unworthy because you have virtually nothing to show for the hard work at your practice, isolated, abused, at risk from the psychic part of the training or from your teacher, and unable to protect yourself. This is not empowering, no matter how many new age words are used at the time it's being taught. This is not healthy. This is not enlightened behavior. It's not even basic decent behavior. What it is, is a form of abuse. In fact, these behaviors are listed in "cult watch" lists all over the internet. I want to encourage anyone finding themselves in this position to trust how you feel and take steps to find support for yourself. Don't ever let any other person--master, human, dragon, alien or otherwise EVER remove your filter to judge things for yourself or to take away your power. Empowerment means you feel stronger, better, more skilled, and your life is like flying colors of success, happiness and well being (WITHOUT needing to trick yourself into seeing it that way!). Only YOU can earn that for yourself, it can never be given by any other, no matter the promise or the price. A teacher can only give you tools and point you towards doors, but if those doors don't work, or they are laced with booby traps, that doesn't mean your dream is dashed or you have to now flail in pain in the dark, or that you're just not good enough to get it right. It means this wasn't the right door for you. Trust in yourself. If it feels right, if your life is thriving, if you can see and experience direct, tangible, real results, then it's working. If it's a landscape of fear, intimidation, an ongoing sense of failure, anxiety, pain or unrest, you're not looking in the right place for your particular path. The "way" isn't about tricking yourself into thinking so positively that no matter what's really in front of you and how terrible it is, you can remain in bliss. It's about finding tools that make your REAL LIFE catch up with the mental projection you are deliberately trying to create. Sometimes our path towards enlightenment and mastery includes a few detours. Sometimes it includes learning to not put your teacher on a pedestal (like a demi-god), and usually it ends with each of us finding that the master was inside us all along...we just had to learn to listen to and trust the guidance trying to get our attention from within.
  13. Involuntary jerking while dozing

    If you have a pet dog, you'll notice that they do this too. There are always things going on in our brains, despite not being aware of it. It's probably some deep kind of dream happening.
  14. Bloodstream Sermon attributed to Bodhidharma

    Sounds a lot like Dzogchen Semsde, which is preliminary Dzogchen, thus it leads to liberated concepts of mind, but not necessarily the entire integration that bears the Jalus (Body of Light/Rainbow Body). Still... Semsde is mostly what you'll find on Dzogchen when one roams the internet. Which is the first of the three Dzogchen teaching cycles, because it uses good wording a lot to help the mind relax it's grasping. Semsde = mind, Longde = space, Menngagde = oral instruction or instruction through symbols, are the traditional three divisions, though they are not separate in essence one generally get's Semsde first in order to prepare the mind for Longde, then Menngagde generally happens in private with your teacher, and can happen through dream inference or meditative vision as well.
  15. What the Self Is (and Is Not)

    Interesting...this sounds almost like a higher level version of the same process one goes through when the Ego dissolves and "ordinary" Enlightenment is achieved. Except this time it is dissolving of the non-dual Atman itself. That sounds scary as hell. You are delving (and dissolving!) "God" at that point! Damn...that's one deep rabbit hole into the Matrix. Must go meditate to investigate... edit: It occurred to me - what is to prevent someone from coming back and saying "what is storing all these good and bad karma seeds?" I take it Hindus (and I would presume Muslims and Christians too) would say this "storing" is proof something (the Universal Divine Soul?) is doing the storing. I imagine Buddhists would reply this question is the subtle urge to grasp at "I" and reify by this one particular 'bag of karma' so to speak? What "glues" the "bag of karma" together so that this collection uses that action as proof it is part of a Universal Divine Soul? Is that "bag of karma" mistaking assorted "pressures" exerted from other causes that coalesce to one spot as proof of possessing independent solidity? (By pressures I imagine it like squeezing a tube of toothpaste. The toothpaste will end up on the other side simply because that's where it's been squeezed to.) I see Buddhists as saying this "squeezing pressure of karma" explains the glue and is the Occam's Razor explanation of the 'gluing action'? P.P.S. Final Fantasy 10 Spoiler Alert!!!! You know what's really bizarre? This is all sounding too much like everyone is a coalesced "Dream of the Fayth" just like Tidus was in Final Fantasy 10!
  16. That was awesome Haven't tried shape shifting in lucid dreaming states.... my focus right now is just to move around in a controllable manner and interacting with things I see in my dream. But I will add this to my list of things to do
  17. This sounds fascinating, but I too am wondering what it would look like. It is not so difficult to transform into some animal, but to transform oneself into elemental fire, or a mountain, or wind, or thunder??, or the heavens... If anyone has attempted or accomplished lucid dream shape-shifting into more abstract things like these, I would love some advice. I could see, though, how this practice could have a huge impact on breaking down ones view of self as something fixed and static. I had also just thought that the Monkey King lucid dreaming technique was just for bi-location, flight, size changing, etc. What you guys have come up with presents some fascinating new possibilities for my practice.
  18. I like your thinking changes = transformations too. So does this give us try to lucid dream the book of changes?
  19. Not much info out there on dream yoga practices. http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showtopic=10331
  20. I think Monkey knew the 72 transformations, Pigsy the 36 and Sandy didn't know any. No list of what they were though http://www.damo-qigong.net/xiyou-part3.htm another translation also talks about the 'Three Disasters' Another http://www.canleyvale.hs.education.nsw.gov.../7ee/brenda.htm Perhaps of relevance Asian Mythologies But I fear I'm getting out of my depth with the terminology so I'd better go back to the TV show http://www.greatsage.net/ but I guess the real question is still if doing th e72 transformations as dream yoga is any more useful than wielding the magical wishing staff?
  21. I don't think the 72 are just 72 version of basically the same (shapeshifting). For example monkey king could fly, right? That would be a standard one. +1 He could change his size (very big and very small), +1 He could multiply in many copies of itself at once (I don't know if he could do it, but it happened to me in a dream time ago, so I assume he could as well) +1 become invisible? +1 wisthand heat (remember when they tried to burn him in the pakua?) Also there where a bunch of things he could do with his wand. Would they coun? Essentially Idon't know, apart the first few. But maybe we could read the book monkey kind and just take note. Then next to each we could cite the passage where it is refered to. Those are the situations where Stig. wiki might come out as being invaluable!
  22. Time to Take the Plunge (Tying the Knot in December)

    My wife and I folded 1,000 origami cranes for our wedding. They made for beautiful wedding favors and decorations for our Asian themed wedding. According to legend if you guys successfully fold all of them, you will have your hearts greatest wish come true. It is very common in Japan and Korea for a couple to work together to fold them all. Plus, the crane is one of the most famous Taoist symbols, representing longevity. Shuo Lao (or sometimes Lao Tsu) is frequently depicted as riding a crane through the air. As for romantic classical Chinese things... The Peiking Opera play on Chuang Tsu, The Butterfly Dream, is rather nice, if you can find a way to integrate it into your wedding. Here are a couple of Confucius quotes that you might be able to use: "It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get." "The moral man and woman will find the moral law beginning in the relation between husband and wife, but ending only in the vast reaches of the universe." I-Ching Quote: "When two people are at one in their inmost hearts, they shatter even the strength of iron or bronze."
  23. Long Road to the Tao Bums

    Hi, My name is Zach. I have been a dreamer for many years. During my most recent studies of lucid dreaming, I began looking into Tibetan Dream Yoga. I ended up buying a book called Tsonghapa's Six Yogas of Naropa. It has a long introduction (more than half of the book) and since I've wanted to put some of the techniques involved into practice before actually finishing, I had to do a search on Vase breathing, since I hadn't gotten to the explanation of what that is yet. The search led me to a thread here. I have studied Buddhism for a few years now and had planned to do a study of Daoism next, and so arriving at this forum seemed like a good enough sign to join and begin learning. The only other forum that I regularly visit is Dreamviews.com, but the content of the conversations there are getting old; especially in the religion/spirituality section where I enjoy posting the most, so it seemed like a good time to branch out a little. I'll probably spend some time getting a feel for the place and not posting too much, but I'll be around.
  24. Eating Bananas Helps Too

    Dayum, what am I, Dr. Bombay? Must just be coincidence. Anyway, the reason I'm reading this thread: Mr. drewhempel, my male counterpart in sexual over-the-top giggle-inducing lovely craziness, I like your priorities. You are not trying to "use" this energy for something unnatural, you are using it as it is intended to be used. For women. I give you a gold star. But I have to ask, with all your considerable gifts and prowess, are you considering a special someone someone? On the one hand finding a girlfriend would probably be considerably difficult with the lack of concern for money and practical considerations--women like those practical men. But it seems a waste to let your talents not be used to their fullest, surely there is some young woman of discernment in your environs? As for the orgasm at a distance thing, I assume we aren't talking nighttime wet dream sorts of things, NOT that I would do that *cough* but rather than a jing shoplifting, a simple give orgasm from stimulation, cause and effect, no I can't do that from a distance, at least not yet. Most men's hearts aren't open enough and even when they are I have to do it chest to chest, although have done it during social hugs, etc., fully clothed with the recipient unawares (until he felt it). The problem with that is unlike giving a woman a vaginal O at D, a heart orgasm triggers emotional connection, so I've learned to be more selective in the men I give them to.
  25. I BID YOU GOOD DAY

    Well i've had a right old good look around and really am enthralled by all the posts and helpfull links on the site. A truley great place to be. I began to read some of Mantak Chia's works a couple of years ago but i'm only really beginning to set out on a well disiplined and consistently approached path now. Ready to completley cut out alchohol and sugery foods etc. Ive had a few musculer skeletal issues for quite some time now and find some relief through a lot of stretching, massage and rolling out, on rollers and ball's etc but every time I have pushed the training any further I tend to experience massive problems around my hip area,, periformis and gluteus minimus. This mainly playing havoc with the sciatic nerve and making relaxed practice a real distant dream... I read in one of Mantaks works that sometimes emphasis can be placed on breath and form to the detriment of the activation of a relaxed state that is prerequisite of any real healing taking place. I was doing Hatha Yoga for quite some time and after a period of time when I was bodybuilding for a number of monthes I had a period of great success. Some really wonderfull results where I really truley relaxed and returned to bliss. At times i could spend 6 hours in one yoga session relaxing completly in corpse pose allowing breath to be guided by a very relaxed abdomen and calmed state of mind. I realised after a while this practice was taking up too much time and that I was unable to advance in other area's of life. I began to practice Astanga Yoga at this point and spent less time in practice. It felt as though I was rushing most of the time though and seemed to lose the profound benifits enjoyed with Hatha. I neglected strength training thinking it to be psychologically unhygenic and around 24-25 years old ran into some serious problems. Hips, Knee's, elbows, ankle's, wrists and shoulders started showing warning signs rapidly. Fluid on knees and elbows , sciatic and arthritic pain, chronically tight, imbalanced and dysfuntional muscles left a tilt in my pelvis , poor tracking through my knee's that seemed to lock and back pain that would intermitantly make everything a real hassle, plus my shoulders click. I'm 27 now and although I have learned to cope with this it still bothers me everyday and practically rules my life if i'm to keep it at bay... I tend to get it so i'm pain free then get on with other things, have the odd drink at weekend, a little recreational sport and i'm back to square one with an ice pack on my back waiting to do mckenzie extentions. Power to anyone who goes through this on the daily and utmost respect to those that have had to deal with it and have beaten it. Well i'm trying really dam hard and have all the determination i need to overcome it i'm sure... Found this forum few weeks ago now and i'm tip toeing around idea's that i can weave into my daily routine to relax and unwind imbalances and improper stacking of bones simutaniously developing strength to do so without having the tightening of muscles in recovery pulling me further out of alignment. I suppose this is my hello to all of you here on Tao Bums, it is my birthday today, I'm 27. I have no real commitments, nothing stopping me from putting all I am into a life of self cultivation and disiplined practice. I've just qualified in holistic therapies, level 3 and gone along to some reiki workshops which granted me level 2. I feel I would like to study TCM next year full time (most likley do a two year degree in London) learn some Chinese and travel over that way for a while. For now the main aim is to realign with those benifits a felt with the hatha yoga the first time so I can begin working in holistic therapies and start earning some money. As you can imagine with the above problems in mind this is not possible at the moment. (I give one massage I need one my self). So each day i plan to do ; A moving qi gong brocade in the morning 30 mins to 1 hour walking (lucky enough to live 2 minute from the coast) 1 hour of gentle standing qi gong excersises 20 mins waking meditation and some inner smile / Microcosmic orbit 6 healing sounds before bed At the same time I have been looking around the area for good teachers of martial arts. I plan to approach some Tai Chi classes. There is also a Wing Chun lesson held every week that is of interest. I live in blackpool and we are fortunate enough to have Master Samual Quok with us who teaches the Ip Man Wing Chun. I keep meaning to go down but so far have not wanted to risk more pain and infalmation or even greater injury so I have resisted, much to my dissatisfaction. Plan is to do the above for 30 days, cutting out alchohol and eating a balance diet of mainly fruit, veg, grains and cereals plus a little meat and fish. I'll have a little look on here from time to time but really must knuckle down to actual practice... P.S. if anybody is still reading this and happens to know how to get the full membership to upload a pic i'm be gratefull if you could let me know. It tells me I lack authorisation when I try. Look forward to being an integral part of the whole ,, Once again, Great place to be, Peace, Love Adoration and Respect BGROUND2
