@Earl Grey Would you mind sharing some more about the program? I read about it online, it seems there's a 9 hour basic course and an 8 hour advanced course after 1 year's practice. Did you do both? And of course you don't need to reveal all :'D just the gist of it.

Dear Dao bums, I've been reading this blog on daoist sorcery on/off for a few years. There's a lot of interesting info on there. The "main thing" is that the teacher running the site talks about using Ku Man Tong to win the local lottery in Singapore. Honestly I never really took it seriously, I just thought it was kind of hilarious that someone would spend so much time and energy spiritually on something which seems so borderline useless - why not just make money in a normal way? I know Singapore is a well-developed country, surely it would make more sense to work your way up career-wise or start your own business instead of trying to win the lottery. But again, I know for sure I'm personally biased against so many things in life due to religious/conservative upbringing - eating meat, gambling, drinking alcohol, illicit sex, these were considered the end of the world morally and karmically, and a sure-fire way to self-destruction. However, now that I'm grown I see that these things are seen as completely "normal" by a lot of people, as no big deal. "Gambling Gods" and talismans are even a thing in Chinese Magic. So I work to let go of all this conditioning and just be open. Anyway, I just wanted to ask you; did any of you ever try contacting this guy? If yes, what was your experience with him? (him as a teacher, as a person, and of course whether his magic works). Here's the link to his blog: https://taoist-sorcery.blogspot.com/2025/03/my-fate-life-is-up-to-me-not-god-heaven.html I do think he seems quite sympathetic and well-informed in most of his posts, including the one I linked above. Let me know if any of you has experience with him

@Nosferatu thanks for your message Yes, I can only imagine the amount of negative energy practitioners in Brazil! Must be huge, all the mix of native traditions, african slaves voodoo traditions, I'm sure there's a lot of stuff going on. The people I've met in my life from South and Meso America as well as the Carribbean are all much more connected to energy, the spiritual world, ancestors etc, and unfortunately also negative energy such as dark spirits and black magic. Not to fear though, if there's a lot of energy in a place, there will also be positive energy present. The challenge is seeking and finding the positive variants, and also getting experts in the occult if one has particular issues about that. I had the same challenge my whole life: I was just a simple person, just want to get peace from meditation, do good deeds and have great health. But karma from past lives led me into contact with a lot of dark spirits, negative energy and black magic, even though I never was interested in this to begin with. I personally found relief from Sufism and Hinduism. I had a personal teacher in each who gave me mantras and rituals to do. And over time, it slowly improved. I had tools to deal with most. Then if something new happened I couldn't handle, I would keep seeking solutions, and again finding it in Sufism and Hinduism. So it seems we all have karma from past lives dictating the negativity we'll face, but also karma dictating when/where and how we will find relief. My father never wanted to pay attention to spirits etc, only recently did he tell me that since he began meditating in his early 20s, there would be spirits standing at his bed at night as well as early morning. He never understood who they were or what they wanted. He also didn't care much about it or looking into it. Maybe a kind of denial. However, when I was about 12 or so, we were on pilgrimage in India together. One day we went to swim in the river, and my dad asked the locals about any holy men or saints nearby we could visit. People kept mentioning a black magic practitioner living in the graveyard, but they warned us to steer clear lest we get cursed. My dad is super curious and also wants to show everyone he's not scared, so we swam up the river about 500-700 metres to get to the graveyard. I didn't understand much, but my dad spoke to him for maybe 30-90 minutes. He explained his spiritual path and how it worked. Then my dad explained his troubles. He took some holy ash from his fireplace and gave to my dad, gave some instructions on how to use it. When we got back home and my dad used the ashes, then he has been clear of issues for maybe 20-30 years now. Only 1 or 2 minor occurences, but not every night like it used to be. So he also suddenly found relief from Hinduism. Maybe you're similarly destined to suffer bad karma from a previous lifetime, yet you're also destined to find relief in this lifetime from a particular path. I found it through Sufism and Hinduism, the 2 streams of spirituality I was pretty much raised with. But for me it was through years of daily practice, suffering, searching yet not finding, then practicing more, and then in a gradual manner finding relief. For my dad it was years of not understanding, not caring, ignoring, and then suddenly finding final relief just by chance from Hinduism. In Brazil I know IAC (international academy for consciousness). I've taken all their programs in Europe and some in the US. I learnt a lot of good stuff, benefitted a lot. There are also some of them who specialise in "intruders". That's what they call negative spirits. There's a whole course on it, why it happens, how it happens and ways to avoid it and ways to deal with it. It helped me a lot at the time. So if you're in Brazil maybe you can go through their courses and maybe one of them who specialises in dealing with negative energy can help you to stop it, and also to over time become autonomous and independent so you yourself can deal with it. Let me know how it goes All the best!
