But there isn't a next question.

I remember the words and procedure, involving a candle and a needle, well - believing as a foolish teenager they would be harmless and nothing was likely to happen. I almost ended up dead.. Yeah, you didn't want the warnings, but this was my experience. Now we could say things like he was already unbalanced, and I could lay out entirely mundane reasonings for the way things played out. But I destroyed the book I found the spell in, and never played with spells of this sort again.

How did you determine which was appropriate?

Thanks for sharing this. The offerings I made are from the teachings of the Bön tradition, the Ngondro in particular, and didn't involve meat or wine, but an elaborate meditation - where in my own illusory body becomes both vessel for and offering itself, with purified karmic tendency and traits becoming the nectar shared by a lovely goddess able to calm and pacify the angry and fearful energies with enough flowing nectar to fill and satiate all in need. There's more to it, but this is enough for now. I suspect meat and wine would sit better with some.

Indeed. I made Tsok offerings my dear Luke, pacifying, purifying and satiating Tsok offerings of the illusory body for any angry, fearful, or vengeful energies which may have manifested through interactions in this thread.. any and all being welcomed to the feast which forgoes war. Not wishing harm is good imo, as is honesty.

I wish you well @GSmaster. It's been an interesting little stretch. Thank you for the time you shared with us. Take care.

And you're going to do what? The people with skill are sovereign beings who you have little to no power over, and those without are protected by this lack. Good luck with these furthered threats, and little ego driven tirades. Btw this: Is what my father referred to as "planting seeds." It is a most mundane skill wherein the receiving parties mind does the work for the projecting individual, and something I was schooled in as a teenager. "Oh my goodness, my tire went flat after so and so said xyz." You have no power here, no matter how many empty words you type, or rotten seeds you try to plant.

I'm unconcerned. I am. And you should take some responsibility for the confrontational manner in which you sometimes share said skills, and the karmic results of your own manner and behaviour.

I do. It may just be best if you were to consider Rocky under my protection, and back away now. We can be friendly with each other, or you can continue your threats.

BTW Because I am aware of differences in the various lineages, I wanted to verify prior to commenting on this idea of staggering breath - which I wasn't taught. Could somebody please provide reference for where this idea came from? (Although I've just been informed of yet another individual unauthorized to teach passing on misinformation and "flawed" understanding and teachings - which actually could, and likely would, impede progress.)

Forgive the bluntness (or not), so you're not fried, but you do seem lonely and a bit awkward in the interaction department. You ask for doors to be opened when you've latched the deadbolts on them. Then why have you asked for kriya yoga techniques, presumably beyond the first (which you've treated with a derision, disdain, and what appears to me to be only the shallowest understanding of and experience with)? Why should anyone invest their precious time in teaching you what you treat with such little regard?

So you don't want a teacher because you already know...

How deeply have you explored what you're calling a simple technique?

I recall spending days with the rotten apples which had fallen, in a very literal way. First come the deer, eating their fill, then come the bees and wasps and flies, eventually there are some larvae, and then only soil. At some point little sprouts for new trees arise here and there. Perhaps you were a deer, and have eaten your fill? Maybe you don't like the bees and wasps? In any case, at the moment, it all seems to be process to me. I've had stalkers; online they're soo much easier to ignore.

Actually, when he changed his avatar, I smiled, enlarged it (I'm on a phone on the front porch mind you), and liked that the eyes were a somewhat piercing icy blue, instead of the typical fiery red one looking to impress (seeking validation and attention) tends to goes with. And I can't help but recall spending some amount of time with the idea of how very much like ants we humans behave - following the paths laid out by those who came before us. :shrug:

To the left of "options"..

Endless to endless The karmic storehouse is full Turning water wheel

"They're not worthy!" "Unworthy! Unworthy!" But I am .. Dear Star, you've interwoven your own persona, narrative, and personal sense of value with that of another, and when this other is brought into question you act to defend as if you were defending yourself - which in a way you actually are. I'd suggest going for some cuddles with the wife, and letting this go like you indicated you would.

I have two questions for you: What criteria do you use to determine what you call mental illness? What criteria do you use to determine who you consider a practioner?

I believe, as the originator of the opening post, you can click "edit" and have the option to edit the title as well.

I think you're still stuck with the idea of dominating and influencing others to your will, and this is anything but advanced. Hey, you asked..
