gendao Posted June 22, 2008 Ok, damn the torpedos...I just bought my ticket and I'll be there July 4th weekend. Let me know if anyone wants to split a room. Or, I'll even pay a local a fee for room & board and transport, if they wanna make and save me some cash... I think anything would be cheaper than 3 nights hotel and a rental.

gendao Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) try the best western on 88st & sw 122ave 33186 miami flThanks, but the only BW I see near there (12368 SW 94th Terrace, Miami, FL, 33186) is: Best Western Kendall Hotel & Suites (.7 mi) 8560 SW 124th Avenue Kendall, FL 33183 305-271-4848 Rates from $125.99 (or $120) Are you sure it's a Best Western at that location, or another hotel? I would like the cheapest one closest to your house, if within a mile or so of walking distance would be even better. And as long as it's not a flea motel.. Otherwise, I guess this one sounds like the best bet: Country Inn and Suites (Wellesley Inn Miami Kendall) (1.5 miles) 11750 SW MILLS DRIVE Miami, FL 33183 305-412-7795 ~$100/night Or a bit closer, but pricier: AmeriSuites Miami Kendall (1.2 mi) 11520 SW 88th St Miami, FL 33176 $139 (Ok, I just posted all that for my own reference and in case anyone else is interested.) Noww...here's an interesting article on the origin of KAP: The Grandmaster's StoryBy: Qigong Grandmaster Glenn Morris Ph.D. The story I would like to share is about the Kundalini Awakening I experienced in the summer of 1985. I had the entire summer off from teaching and decided I was going to deeply explore some Internal Qigong practices I had known for many years. I sat on my porch and practiced intensely in Meditation running energy along my Meridians for goals I wanted to attain in the martial arts. I was utilizing the Chinese system of acupuncture points and the Hindu chakra system. I also utilized classical Taoist breathing methods and addressed the Chakras individually. I practiced everyday for about six hours due to having so much free time that summer. After 45 days of practice I was having visions of Shiva and Kali, the legendary Hindu Gods. Later on I further experienced visual and auditory hallucinations as well as super human strength (breaking door handles from turning them too hard) , reversal of life long arthritis, occasional bouts of telepathy and other forms of unexplainable knowing. These experiences worked up to a peak one early morning when I saw a golden brown colored viper begin to slowly uncurl from my sacrum. As if it had a mind of its own, the serpent shot its way up through my spinal column in what felt like an eruption of FIRE. It culminated with a tremendous explosion of energy in my head and I was then thoroughly 'fried'. For the next few months, when I closed my eyes there was a constant barrage of lights. I later discovered that this was a Permanent Kundalini Awakening, and that is why it never went away even when I didn't practice for weeks. That energy had been released and there was no going back. I was forced to learn to live in harmony with it. After my body had fully rejuvenated and adapted to the increased voltage, I began to wonder why the 'Kundalini' experience was shrouded in myth and why I could not find a single person who had been through it themselves. I read countless books authored by people claiming to understand the Kundalini Experience and I came up empty handed. The only books I found by someone who really understood were written by Gopi Krishna and even with the help of his personal experiences, I did not fully understand what had happened to me. My only certainty was that it was a giant spiritual/biological evolutionary leap. After spending even more time with several Kundalini Yoga experts, not only did I come up empty handed again with no answers, but I found out that this process is "supposed to" take 20 -30 years of disciplined practice. Maybe that would explain why I could not find anyone who had done it. That is a long time for someone to persevere. Granted I was practicing a lot, but that did not explain why it happened within 45 days. I wanted to understand this process. I became fixated on testing and understanding. So I did what any respectable teacher would have done - I used my students as guinea pigs!! When the same methods I used were employed by my students, they had very similar results of "Kundalini Awakening" in anywhere from 2 months to 18 months time. I watched as one after another went through the process. No one had any of the problems often written about in the 'myths' of Kundalini. We were continually amazed at the 'Universality' of the process. Later we learned that Qigong provided certain safeguards that were keeping the process safe and efficient. It was a very experimental program in the beginning. As time progressed, I refined the system further to eliminate any unnecessary practices and honed in on what was actually producing the manifestation of Kundalini. It basically came down to opening the Base Chakra (Genitals) and then working up to the higher energy centers from there. Combine the chakra work with running energy along the spine & limbs, positive mind states, employing specific breathing methods, and practicing Testicular/ Ovarian Gong Fu and you have a complete composite of what I did and what I feel is the core essence of my practice. I honestly believe these to be the most potent Qigong practices in the world. Later I wrote 3 widely available books on the subject matter and many foreign students were Emailing me from around the world reporting similar experiences from doing the practices. I decided to refine my life's work into a system we later called the "Kundalini Awakening Process" . With the help of my Deshi, Jeff Primack, I created a highly organized program with a comprehensive workbook and home practice CD. The workshop is taught in a weekend seminar format. The process is learned in 2 days and practiced at home along with the CD we provide you with. The Level-1 Kundalini Awakening Process connects the sexual energy manufactured by the Genitals to the Master Glands of the Brain. If practiced for 30 minutes daily, using the Level-1 Home Practice CD, it will typically produce the Full Kundalini Awakening in around 6 to 18 months. Seasoned mediators and yoga practitioners will have much faster results sometimes within a few weeks, but really anyone can do this if they follow the instructions. The system is statistically proven to work and that's why it has a high success rate. Everything a person needs to attain the Full Kundalini Awakening is thoroughly gone over in the Level-1 training and it's all contained within the Training Manual and Home practice CD . See more about it in the 'Upcoming Events' page. The Level-2 Testicular/Ovarian Gong Fu takes the Level-1 practices of opening the Root Chakra and connecting the meridians and further expounds upon them. "Male Deer" exercises for keeping sexual energy at its peak are employed in the program along with the "Female Deer" exercises, which are used to stop the menstruation process and the subsequent loss of vital energy that accompanies it. In Chinese lore the Female Deer exercises are called 'Slaying the Red Dragon' for obvious reasons. It is a very natural and powerful practice that works easily and once practice is stopped, normal menstrual periods will return immediately. It also is a great form of birth control that you can turn on and off. Both the Male and Female Deer exercises were kept highly secret by the ruling families of ancient China. The Female Deer exercises work by tricking the body into thinking its 'lactating'. Taoist Sexual Qigong is also taught in Level -2 and can be practiced with or without a partner. These are the sexual practices of developing vital energy. Level -2 further activates the sexual energy of the Testicals/Ovaries, which has a direct impact on the Kundalini. A partner is not required, but it's more fun. My overall theory: The Kundalini is describable and repeatable. My scholarship has taught me that Kundalini is the most powerful accumulation of latent energy potential in the human body. It has played an integral part in religious mythology, yet after watching hundreds go through the Full Process, I feel its 'Awakening' is more of a biological process than a religious one. It can be experienced by any one of significant will and intelligence to do the work.

But, Mapquest seems to do a better job and does say .7 miles for Best Western Kendall Hotel & Suites.

Tibetan_Ice Posted June 27, 2008 Hi Santiago (or anyone who knows) I've just received the "Path Notes of an American Ninja Master" and I'm half way through. I'm enjoying the book immensely and also the fact that Glenn's experiences are very similar to what I've been through (pain in the perenium, dancing naked ladies, full frontal genitalia, heat, lights.. ) It is fascinating to learn that the experiences are the same Anyway, what I would like to know is this: Does Glenn describe the cooling technique in the book? He mentions that you can cool the heat with the downward flow but he doesn't say how yet. (I'm at chapter 6). He said that there is a lady in the book that learned how to do the downward flow. Does she say how? How do you do the cooling downward flow? Thanks. I sure appreciate it. TI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gendao Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Ok, I just booked my hotel & rental and thought I'd post these for any future attendees to consider: I ended up choosing these: Quality Inn South at The Falls (FL113) (7.8 mi) 14501 S. Dixie Hwy. (US 1) Miami, FL, US, 33176-7925 305-251-2000 ~$95/day E-Z Rent-A-Car $22.50/day The next 2 were also good options (within walking distance) - but cost a bit more and cabfare is apparently $50 from MIA to them. So, I decided to just rent a car and then stay at the slightly farther (but cheaper) hotel above, instead. Best Western Kendall Hotel & Suites (.7 mi) 8560 SW 124th Avenue Kendall, FL 33183 305-271-4848 Rates from $125.99 (or $120) Country Inn and Suites (Wellesley Inn Miami Kendall) (1.5 miles) 11750 SW Mills Drive Miami, FL 33183 305-412-7795 ~$100/night Anyhow, that's just a snapshot of when I was looking just now. But I'm sure things could always change...so I'd still see for yourself. Edited July 3, 2008 by vortex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voidisyinyang Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) More details on the "floating vagina"! haha. http://books.google.com/books?id=_meUf86FO...result#PPA32,M1 This is interesting -- I see light around peoples' heads as Dr. Glenn Morris describes: http://thewarriorscave.blogspot.com/2008/0...cteristics.html OK this ALSO makes sense -- chapter 6 of Path Notes of an American Ninja Master: the difference between sensing intention and the actual action. http://martial-arts.top-info-about.com/sensing-intention.php For example the other day someone got mad at me at work and I sensed it was an electromagnetic field which went into my liver -- the person didn't even say anything and pretended not to be mad, but they we're controlled by their anger. This is what I've described as sensing the intentions as an electromagnetic field which is picked up by the body and then transduced by the pineal gland. It's easiest to process this information when in full-lotus because the vortex created sends the energy to be automatically transduced back into love-light. At work I just went into full-lotus, as I do habitually.

Yoda Posted July 2, 2008 I was just reading the "Giza Power Plant" where the author is an engineer by trade and likes to reverse engineer weird things as a hobby. He said that you'll see a geared wheel built into the ground of the workshop. Bring a pole magnet and you'll see that the teeth of the wheel are magnets aligned in opposite directions, also there was radio transmitting and receiving equipment there and it was said that he'd string copper up in the air. He believes that the guy used some sort of electric resonance to lift the stones maybe in a similar manner to that electric "flying saucer" propulsion system written up recently in http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/06/23/f...saucer-uav.html . One truckdriver was asked to turn his back as the dude lifted a huge rock on to the back of the truck said he didn't hear any loud noise other than the rock thudding onto the back of the truck. The author believes that the geared wheel was used to generate specific electrical frequencies which may have been transmitted for some sort of resonance/interference pattern by radio to a different area of the compound. In the author's words: "If I were trying to replicate Leedskalnin's feat, I would begin with the premise that he was using his flywheel to generate a single frequency tunable radio signal. The box at the end of the tripod would contain the radio receiver (there are several tuners in Leedskalnin's workshop) and the cable coming from the box would be attached to a speaker that emitted sound to vibrate the coral rock at its resonant frequency. With the atoms in the coral vibrating (like those in an iron bar) I would then attempt to flip their magnetic poles--which are naturally in an attraction orientation with the Earth--- using an electromagnetic field." If there's one guy who can figure it out, it's AugustLeo... aside from his considerable esoteric knowledge he's an experienced electrical/sonar/Navy engineer. When Michael comes down for a class, he'll need to pop over and crack the case!! Yoda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
