  1. Has anyone tried the course on ancientmasters.org?

    Thanks everyone for the information and insight. I suppose where I'm at is that they make some fairly extraordinary claims about the nature of spiritual progression and consciousness that, if true, would more or less invalidate almost all other practices. The driving factor here is how intense and specific the things they say are, and how absolute their confidence in them seems to be. If they're correct, it seems like a waste of time to pursue anything else. I feel like it's highly unlikely this is the case. Much of it is therefore motivated by FOMO for me, but I am also definitely looking for a practice that deliberately cultivates my body and mind. Maybe the answer is to just take a good neigong course with a reputable teacher and call it a day, then come back to this later if I so desire. With all that being said, I would love to speak to @Neirong to learn more.
  2. I am extremely curious about this website in general. I originally found it when researching Damo Mitchell, as they have an article scathingly criticizing him and Adam Mizner. The whole thing reads a bit cult-like, but I've looked around and seen some of the founders' comments on this forum; they seem to believe what they're saying and have some clear understanding of esoteric practices. I'm generally skeptical of any claims of "true" spiritual knowledge, especially if said person is also claiming they're the only "real" master. I could buy the idea that there's some shared layer of reality that nobody is able to reach that these practices can get you to, but the site's owners provide no proof, evidence, or credentials to suggest they should be trusted. I want to believe, but I also don't want to spend a bunch of money on their very expensive course without any evidence to suggest it works. All that is to say, has anyone tried it? What was it like?
  3. First time introduction post

    Hello everyone! I'm relatively new to this world of practices, having done health-oriented Qigong for about a year, vipassana meditation for ~4 years, and a smattering of other practices including the Gateway Process, chaos magick, and whatever Jed McKenna's system is called. Here to learn!
