I'll just add my own experiences with the vine, the smoke and my own juices. Ayahuasca I love. It can be like a few years of emotional healing in one night. I would reccomend a strong course of probiotics after though. It can strip out everything. Meet 'her' with someone qualified. Dmt smoked for me is a waste of time. I feel it takes near 6 months for the brain to repair itself from the masive kick it gets this way. Im talking about subtle sensing capabilities thrown out the window for a while. My own juices are best. As pure as Ayahuasca is in some way she can never really compare with Amrit and the host of 'Natural' mystical experiences. I dont care how many pseudo-scientific studies say that the brain is full of dmt, or that it is perfectly absorbable and thus has no side affects, or that it is the 'stuff' that revelation is made off. It has side affects. Meet anyone who partakes regularly, or watch some one start the journey over the next few years... But to me I dont think it is nearly as destructive as pot or worse... again just my opinion. Seth Ananda.

Hi everyone. Phore, If your lucky by chanting a Goddesses name you might actually meet a Goddess! or you may 'Feel' her, or at the very least you'll just have a fun night out. Mwight, why dont you try some sigil magick to help you meet John Chang? you'd be amazed what you can pull off with it. I have met an adept of the western tradition who I shall not name but who can demonstrate all kinds of stuff: Control of elements, ability to read minds, summon entities, and all kinds of other cool stuff. He is very humble and his tradition demands secrecy. Hence the fact you dont read about him on the six o'clock news. Also in that way of developing, if you talk about your magick you weaken it. I am a devoted Kashmir Shavite and we have a lot of Devi chants that we use, some of witch can Knock your socks off. Kali is my Favourite Goddess and I am always astounded at the power of some of her chants. I also practice magick for fun and profit on a weekly basis as this helps me live the way I want with the things I need. Bogus? you don't have a clue... In one of the old Taoist cannons (I can't remember which one) Invocation is considered one of the essential practices for developing Immortality. If you are not interacting with the beings that live on the different levels, How can you possibly wake yourself up on those levels? Seth Ananda

Beetroot, mmm. Sounds like a meal to die for...

I want to be eaten by my friends and loved ones as they tell the stories of my exploits and celebrate the page of my life that they knew. Im thinking a roast with apricot sauce and a parsley garnish and probably a soup (with beetroot). Seth ananda

Hi Everyone, I haven't been around for a while. Does anyone know Anything about Parvarthi Nanda Nath? Anyone studied with her? Im on an Authenticity Hunt. She makes a lot of claims linage wise, and if its true fantastic, but im just not sure... Seth Ananda

Thanks Silicon. I was hoping this wasn't the case. I began wondering when she was using Daniel Odier's dodgy translations and claiming his 'Aledged' teacher Lalita Devi was her teacher - someone who no one knows or can verify... It is a pity, As a long time student of Kashmir Shavism to see the tradition fall again into the wrong hands. But, Lol, like Scotty said. Wow she is a stunner! Thanks again Seth Ananda

The Holy Mountain is one of my all time favorites. Guy Ritchies film -Revolver- Although quite different is probably my Favorite movie ever. A spiritual oddesy crossed with a gangster film. It almost didnt get released as it was so over the heads of the first screen viewers and the critics trashed it. Anyone seen Revolver? The main actor Is the guy who plays Turkish from 'Snatch' Seth.

Thanks Cat, Artform, and sorry Xeno - just one more. Ill Delete it when I get an answer. I am a bit of a Noob when it comes to computer stuff. How do I move my postings to the space artform made? Sorry again Xeno Ill be out of your way as soon as I know how. Seth.

I feel a great love for many Saints and Masters. With some of them it's quite irrational as I dont connect so much with their teachings from their time on earth, but their Presence just moves me... Abhinavagupta Lalla Kabir Hazrat inyat Khan Neem Karoli Bubba Keshamaraj St john of the cross Appolonious of Tyanna Sohravardhi Rabiya Christ (I dont even know if I believe he existed on earth but I feel Him...) Babaji Nagaraj St Francis of Assisi Baal Shem Tov Lama Yeshi Chang Tsu Ibn Arabi Hafiz Jelaludin Mevlevi Rumi Rama Krishna and many more. Thankyou to you all. I dont know why but (to me) Sufi teachers feel particularly accsesible in the presence world and are more likley to help out, give golden love, Kick my but if I'm out of line, inspire me and so on... It might be my strong devotional nature but who knows. Does anyone feel an affinity with a particular 'tree' of teachers? Seth.

Hi Durkhrod, When I said primarily, maby I should have said the first danger is psychological as the way that they hook to you is psychological, but even the term psychological is not quite right, but im not sure how else to explain it. They have to Hook on first before they can do all the other horrible things they can do. It still stands that if you are Centered, Calm, and Present (a stable psychological state) they cant hook on. But they can and many will try and test you, or shake you so to speak cause if they can get you off ballance or get you scared then you are 'Hookable' and that is trouble. This is why the danger is primarily psychological. The exception to this rule is one of unconsciousness. The more unconscious you are the greater the chance that you are already hosting many beings already. The great mystery traditions have many techniques and ways of helping new students realize just how polluted they are so that they can start to clean up shop. Freedom starts by reclaiming yourself. Also, if your really unconscious in an area of your life you probably wont notice beings that 'resonate' with that area attaching themselves even if you are quite sensitive. I walked into a pub (which tends to be a bit of an astral feeding frenzy, like all pubs) with a gifted healer/psychic who has helped many disembodied pass on but who also has a bit of a drinking problem. I was amazed to watch the various things attach as he ordered his beer and asked him if he could see what was happening. he relaxed, tuned in and looked round for a bit then said questioningly "No?" I have had some experiences with these "octopus like things" and I agree. they are a bitch to move. It still to this day strikes me as strange that these lower astral, only seeming to be partially conscious beings can be so much harder to deal with than, disincarnate humans, demons, and the non human inteligences that you may meet. Give me something I can talk to any day. after consistantly working on these things, in the three cases I have seen, I realized that I was working against the actuall will of the person, and that some how, on some level they actually wanted it there, or had agreed to it somehow. I helped release 2 and gave up on one after this point. All were deeply wrapped around the spine and areas of the nervous system and energy body. This is all how I have experienced stuff through my own filters and abilities and they seem to be general to alot of others and to other teachings as well, but there are no absolutes and there are exceptions to everything. I think it is really worth the journey for those inclined as it teaches you about levels of yourself you might never have even thought of and frees up lots of energy or Authentic presence, as you clean house. Seth

Helping Exorcise people is something I have had quite a bit of experience with and is Tricky business. I agree with many of the things people have said in part. A warm and loving heart does offer some protection, but a warm and loving heart accompanied by a clear mind and the appropriate knowledge offers much more. Some of the Beings in the world can really damage you, and may see us like mosquito's, but still that doesn't make them some all powerful threat, unless you 'think' that it does. Anyone who has studied magic properly learns how to approach even the most 'Dangerous' beings in perfect safety. There are many keys here. If your afraid your mind is already unstable... bad news. Fearlessness is a skill that only develops over time by meeting these various beings (start easy). If you find yourself scared by what you see try and think of all the tentacles slime and teeth as just some bad 80's horror movie special effects and you may even start to laugh. As soon as you have your composure again you are safe. This is another key. The danger these beings present is primarily psychological. just realizing that they can't hurt your body as they are not on it's level gives some more inner stability. Even though that last sentence is not entirely correct. They can hurt your body or make very bad things happen to you (through negative synchronicity) but only when they have attached to you. Here is another very important key. Its best to spend time (before dealing with these things if possible) developing a deep gut sense that nothing has the 'Right' to invade or force itself on you. If you can stand before one of these beings strong in this conviction, it is completely powerless over you. Also this is often the turning point in helping free someone else. If you can help them realize that the being they are struggling with has absolutely no right to be there, that's where they often turn and face it themselves and do what they came to me for help with. I Love when that happens. My experience with mantras and religious stuff is that I have to use what I feel a resonance with. If you give a christian 'om mani padme hum' it wont do anything. everything works by intent powered by feeling. If you have them pray to Jesus, everything starts happening. at the same time I might be standing there quietly doing the mantra's that work for me. So the feeling of your connection to spirit is very important and higher level help will often come through when you are really floundering. Alot of spirits that live attached to others don't even really realize that they are dead. I find this quite disturbing as it indicates the general level of humanities consciousness. Many of them are quite amiable and happily move on when they realize what has happened and where they are. So I always start with politeness and then "You know that your Dead don't you?"... There is heaps more, but I know I can ramble on a bit much so if anyone want's more just ask. Remember that Even if some beings can potentially just swat us like mosquito's its still not as easy as us swatting a mosquito, there are rules, not made up, just universal rules on how realms interact. Laughingly Free in Calm Abiding. Seth.

He lectures with David Icke he Must be really on to it!

I have enjoyed regular fruit fasting over the years, and I even tried breatharianism but I never tried the pure frutarian thing as I have Known many frutarians over the years and they kinda turned me off it. Most of the pure Frutarians I have known Stink. OK thats partly from not washing much but especially from all the fruit fermenting in their stomachs. they smell worse than Meat eaters. The lack of vitamin B is a problem and some fruitarians try to combat this by letting 'scum/fur' grow over their teeth till you cant distinguish between individual teeth. The rationale for this is that somehow vitamin b will grow there and they usally pull out the argument that thats what Apes do, but ive seen apes and they use grasses and twigs as tooth picks. Saying this I am all for a high fruit diet or regular fruit cleanses and spiralina is awesome as a side on to these processes. I lived in northern Queensland for a few years and have probably watched about 30 different people try it. Even the hardcore Fanatics got too unwell in the end and have reverted to cooked food. We seem to need at least some cooked food as our appendix is no longer particularly active as a digestive organ. Seth.

Yeah I did do one, but this doesnt look like the place to discuss it... Is there a thread for weird 'New age' practices? Seth.

Thankyou even for that much Taomeow, you Rock! Your Musings on the useless nature of 'Proof' are priceless and I will come back here to re-read a number of times. Thats something I have been trying to express to many people, although far less eloquently for years now. Maby I should have tried crazy glue and shingles... The 'Prove it' mentality is part of the black and white 'Either/Or' mentality and simply leads to calcification of the brain and a life of perpetual tunnel vision. The potential for 'Both/And' thinking allows for -healthy- skepticism and is obviously more in alignment with Middle way philosophy. While everyone is fighting over the Right or the Left, 'Both/And' lets you take the Stairs... I can't wait to hear the rest. Thanks. Seth.

For me I guess that 'God' is the Infinite Consciousness behind the Earth, all planets and solar systems, Aliens, Humans, Holy scriptures, profane writings, Me, the BBQ outside and every single anything anywhere! Whoa! So I guess that Aliens existing or not is really Incidental and not that Important. But I like the experiences I have had with them, and look forward to more simply because they help stretch my culturally programmed perspective of what is real or possible. And they are some seriously Chilled out Dudes/Dudettes/weirdHermaphroditeThingys! Who wouldn't Like them? Even if you meet some of the seriously Evolved ones they have the same Spiritual Core that You have. Don't put them on a pedestal. They don't Invalidate Earths great Traditions at all. Seth.

Hi, Has anyone checked out Stephen Greer and his disclosure project or C-Seti? Good stuff... Human Initiated Contact remains particularly interesting to me. Some friends and I have an isolated hilltop that we use for various Shenaniganz but our next missions are Contact. We are going to use the Cseti techniques and see if we can hitch a ride. Seth.

I look forward to meeting you all, It'll have to wait till I have moved house -Urrggh!- as the internet conection here is a bit crap Cool. Seth

Reverse Ozmosis water filters and Water distillation units are good, and its easy to distill -home made- if you cant afford to buy units. they are the only ones that actually remove fluoride. Forget all the river rock magnet geometry crap. Soil and plant systems themselves actually filter fluoride to a degree which makes their contamination levels much lower. (I could be wrong on this point but I think I remember reading up on this) Farms that water from fresh water supplies are generally safer as no one is fluoridating rivers, streams, lakes... Just the commercial water grids. Thats no guarantee that their isn't other stuff in there. If you have the resources move to the bottom of a mountain at the start of a river or somewhere where there is a natural spring and grow your own food. I Feel for you Bro. There are a few too many things that seem more than a bit too wrong in the world and most people don't even want to hear about them. The situation is dire. I guess I feel that Its important to be deeply relaxed as that is the state in which the body can best protect itself in an ongoing manner. Emergency or Panic is Like a hot fever where the body tries to defend itself by burning out the enemy toxins (a little like Mother earth is doing ) but there are only so many resources for this kind of fight, hence why in worse cases people die from their fever, from their body's defense system. Also Stress is harmful to the body and mind. Very. Mind you I'm not talking about unaware relaxation, I'm talking about the relaxed state of a Martial Artist aware of every detail of what is going on around him - or her I hope you start eating and drinking again soon, if only to give yourself time to work out a plan of Attack for an ongoing existence without these Toxins. Good Luck. Seth.

Hi, I agree with Junbao. I practiced falun for 2 and a half years got alot out of it. Its an excellent practice but the followers live in a perpetual state of tunnel vision. Just go learn it off them if thats what you want but dont tell them that your into anything else or they will get all 'Fundie' on you. At least thats what I did and when I knew it well enough I just practiced myself. I think Li Hongzi is totally Ego driven. He Literally says he has attained every level of enlightenment and cultivation... every one. He also is watching ALL the different Alien species and they all have less than good intentions for us. In one interview I read, he said that part of the reason for Falun being released is so Humans that develop proper 'supernormal powers' with it can defend the earth fron the aliens that want to take over the world. I was hoping i could use Falun to help me catch a Grey, as I have heard they are quite tasty, and profoundly psychically activating! Kentucky Fried Grey anyone? Seth.

De Paradise, I could name a handful of powerful cultivation practices which even a tiny amount of research would show are pretty much the same as the various Taoist techniques but since you demanded it in (correct me if I'm wrong) in such an argumentative, my way is the only way, manner I choose to decline. Vajrasattva. He talks well but notice the audio's he uses.. "They choose Infiltration over invasion... Gurillas at night over marching army's in the day..." Oh my god they sound really Evil, especially compared to those other guys. Some secrets are Important and there will always be those who don't like the fact that they can't just demand to know what someone else knows. Even Tantra which we both love taught that Pashu's (people of a herd like mentality) are not qualified to learn Tantra. So many of the people terrified of what the Masons... are really up to, and pissed off because they have Secrets not shared with them, could simply go and join if they really wanted to know. I think the real key is that they do not want to really know, and are happy just Believing that they know, so they can sit around patting them selves on the back saying " I KNOW whats really going on with these groups and everything else in the world. I'm not at all anti conspiracy theory and think that some like 911 have enough evidence to be conspiracy 'Fact' But if you talk to many conspiracy nut jobs you notice that they have the Whole World neatly explained and 'They' Know the truth... Having everything Explained so that You KNOW whats going on is a security blanket. One look at them will tell you - "Mmm, if You are someone who knows what is going on, why is your life such a mess?" - Alchoholism, drugs, messy relationships, health problems and with most conspiracy people I have met, an addiction to angry outbursts at anyone who disagrees with their theory's. For me the indicator that someone 'KNOWS' is shining eyes, a deep sense of peace and confidence and most of all, a sense of total comfort with the unknown and with uncertainty. Seth.

Wow, That was Awesome! Thanks again Hundun Seth

There is a yahoo group called Rosicrucianism where you can ask members of many diferent orders what they think. AMORC does not tend to have a good rep as progressively climbing fees (I think) and politics and Many say only having Diluted teachings. Mind you They are the largest group around and Have a prety nice Main temple. There are a number of groups that dont charge, or just to cover printing costs. I have lots of friends from the OTO and was in an offshoot of it for several years (Neema's HML). They take there Magick very seriously and have some powerful practices. If anything OTO or BOTA are going to give you a very strong foundation in the Western Traditions. And it will be Eternally Funny how many uninitiated people 'Know' what the high levels are really up to, and then in the same sentence will say that Many of the Initiated members, even at the high levels are just ignorant of the truly dark intentions of the order. Doesn't this strike anyone as odd? To me it smacks of 'Needing to be right' and to 'Really Know whats really going on' which indicates a deep fear of the universe. The anxiety driven Need to Know (with the limited mind) lets one clamp down on reality and shout "This is how it is! I Know what is going on and thus my sense of self is Secure!" Hang on till grim death buddies! Tao bums is a group of cultivators, lazy BBQrs (nothing wrong with that) and inbetweeners. Many of us are probably highly ethical, some less so and a few are possibly quite the opposite. Some times the dodgy people may surprise themselves and do something nice and sometimes the highly evolved people may fuck up and do some thing rotten. This doesn't make Taobums Evil does it? Seth

From what I understand there are many lodges that have become a bit 'dry' so to speak but also there are still plenty of Masons that take their Esoteric Studies seriously as well. Read Manly P. Hall's works. He was a 33rd Degree Initiate and His books are Full of ancient wisdom and Esoteric practices. The Masons seem to still have affiliations with various Occult or Esoteric orders that are much more serious about Spiritual growth, with many members also belonging to Rosicrucian, Martinist... Orders. They have a very interesting history, Like did you Know it was 2 Masons that convinced the Pope in a debate to end the Inquisition. Or that the Italian Renascence was hugely Funded by them. They gave Patronage to any Free thinkers or artists doing anything outside the bounds of the church and helped them print or publish their works, Even if the said artist or writer was anti the stance of the Masons themselves. Seth.

Cool, any advice on what is a good style or one that has real foot work or that is 'real Wing Chun'? Sorry I'd use your name to ask but I don't know the Chinese Characters. WYG, my teacher is named Tuan. Turtle back coming along slowly and thru arm seems to get constantly easier which is a relief as at first it nearly killed me. What M.A. do you do or teach? I think I read you say Cobra Ki Karate or something and somewhere else something about Shaolin forms. Is fun? Seth.
