No such thing as bad chi, remember, chi doesn't hurt people, people hurt themselves Nice site on Seans post. Going to give some blood at Life Source. Peas Michael

Speaking of biological/chemical enlightenment has anyone tried or gotten the Amygdallah biofeed back training at a web site that I can't remember. It was about 'clicking' the amygdallah and the wonderous things that happen because of it. If no one here has it, I'd volunteer to try it out and report. Yoda did you first mention it? I think I have the site name saved on my other computer, some persons name I think. Thoughts.

From Yoda's post, the phrase, "in touch w/ his feet", is an important concept that should be remembered. I was reading in Seans link in AYP and since it somewhat deals w/ kundalini energies, the keeping in touch w/ our feet is very poignant. I've read and have Glenn Morriss first 2 books. I really like them, particularly the first. I've paged through his third. I have his Meditative Mastery tape series, which like his books, wandered a lot, but when they're good, they're brilliant. I'd buy him 2 beers at least. Michael

Great story Michael

Question is, if the helmets work too well, will you still need MRs. Y around? Shades of Woody Allens movie Sleeper. Glen Morris felt that enlightenment was a biochemical process, and gave you a larger and more robust aura. As well as greater health. Peas Michael

Yeah when the Gods of War rumble the ground shakes scaring everything, including them. But just think, if they were together they'd probably take over the earth! Its can be useful to break down peoples writings into quotes and argue w/ it. But, ;it gets nit picky. The whole issue of how far we should we should trust and apply science is good one. It should probably be thrown to the main discussion board. Here's what I picked up at a yeshiva, science tells us what a thing is, religion tells us how to use it. My wife works for the AMA, though shes not a huge supporter of it. Last year they had a huge bill board on quackery and the AMA's fight against it. They had on the board a famous womans Tonic for woman named for Mrs. (I forget the name, indian origin) and dissed it for having such a high alcohol content. But the herbs it used and combined were solid. Self interest too often blinds us. We can use any method or religion to Prove ourselves right and superior. Man is more a rationalizing animal then a rational one. Damn these soap boxes are slippery Later Michael

In his book 'The Tao of Health Sex and Longevity' Reid has an extensive section on detoxing. Its older but wildly available, you may want to see if your local book mart has it and page through it. I did his detox w/ the old book a couple of times a few years ago. He's into fasting, pure water w/ lemon juice, psyllium seed, and bentonite. The Bentonite can make it hideous, but the psyllium seed is just plain old metamucil. It also contained maple syrup. You fast, only drinking that mixture for a few days up to 10. As I recall, there was a real high to it the last few days. It really reset how you'd think about food and time. Like all extreme fasts it will make you weak, and is done at your own risk. His new book must have more details and more to it then his older ones though. Michael

It kinda reminds me of the Immortality Rings. We actually had one or two people order them. You know what, they work, the people (yoda?) is still alive Though I don't think he sprang for the new Improved slightly more expensive Super Immortality Rings. Seriously, keep us informed. Michael

That brings to mind the irony that its Iranian w/ an iranian poets quote on the oneness of mankind. Meanwhile Iran is the birthplace of the Bahai religion, a very peaceful one that stresses the oneness of mankind and ofcourse they've been persecuted in there homeland for years. Michael

OOOoo psychoanalyzing the Lozen creature, be careful what you wish for . You're a bit of an exhibitionist. More thern most, you write honestly, openly, and diaretically (I'm not confined to normal english). Open, allowing people into your life, trying new things. Yet closed, no significant others, actively and purposely celibate. Just as we rebell and conform to our parents, we do the same to our stereotypes. As a modern liberal Jew (who hates to be labeled) you seem to be in the seeker mode. Looking .. searching.. as if you were a piece of puzzle looking for the spot you fit. I think you're in a good spot. You've studied the questions, you know the answers. You are where you are, because that is where you have put yourself. As a modern feminist you are fiercely independent but yearning to connect. Too often seeing your ideal man in the ones you can't have. You have talent and drive. You can feel the earth beneath your feet. yawn, its late 1:17, this is the kind of post, written as preconscious drivel that I'd ususually write and then delete. I'll let this one stay. Peace and peas Michael

I think I've seen this story mentioned w/ the same names in both Jewish and Zen mystical stories. The student Joshu is told he is enlightened. Others students gather around Joshu and ask, "How do you feel?" "Miserable as ever". Matt says taoist enlightenment is stripped off all trappings. Thats good. You don't see Jesus, or Buddha or Blue Skinned 6 armed women. You see .. I don't know? whats in front of you? Hmmmn, Winn in his dream tape series has an affirmation something like to see, bravely, what ever just is. No fudge factor, no heaven or hell, no coloration. Just see what is. If tao is just path, then we just walk, step by step, no heaven, hell, nothing special. Just step by step, walk smoothly with no projections as the future arrives all by itself. Michael

I ditto Daowaoditty Experimentation is good. Michael

Being in management means introducing ideas that create no work for you, but tons for others. Since I used to be in management here goes: Bring video chat to the site. Work out a protocol. Then maybe get a hold of 4 cameras and have those circulate on rotating basis. Those who want to could purchase there own. Then we could have Live Visual Chats. Whoa! The next level in communication and almost as good as being there. One day perhaps. Well back to my flying car Yours Michael

I dont like the whole Inner Sanctum idea. IMHO it makes us look too secretive and exclusive. If people have anything to say in sort of confidence we can PM or write people in there Personal Area. But I'll got w/ the flow, could be some advantages. Michael

I finished 'Coming to Your Senses' a few months ago. I liked it, valuable tools on cutting through the minds constant chatter. Lately I've been reading biographies. Ploughed through long ones on Kissinger and T. E. Lawrence. Moving onto contemporary writers biographies, finished Stephen Kings, 'On Writing', almost done w/ Amy Tan's 'The Opposite of Fate'. (They're in a rock band together!) Both very good. Just reread 'Diary of The Way' stories and photo essays on 3 mellow masters, high ranking KI-Aikidoist, Herbalist chigungist, Taoist Martial artist. Very good, fast reading. Peace Michael

Glenn Morris book 'Pathnotes of A Ninja Grandmaster' (really good depite title) has a chapter on mirrors. Stories of using them for scrying, face changing and disappearing. Michael

I over did sexually active retention. I think I'll try a slightly conservative approach. Something like one ejaculation after two sessions of non ejac sexuallity. Try it for a while, see if that feel right and achieves a happy medium. In Kaishan Golden Shield Chi Gung, they did stress that you had to go through a 100 days of celibacy in order to gain real power. You could do it at the beginning or middle, w/ the beginning being easier. Michael

To what extent are we crazy(in good and not so good ways)? Are practitioners of unusual energy meditations crazier then most? From piss drinking to sun gazing to organ smiling? Concepts of immortality and enlightenment? Hmmn. What generalities do we share? Searching harder then then the average person or just in stranger places? Peace Michael

Guiedjeff was one of the few guys who earned 4 stars on the rate a guru site. Note Chia got 1 1/2, probably lost a star for alleged plagiarism. Sean if you're interested in Sexual Magic, check out Margo Anand's Art of Sexual Magic. Whether you set up the magic circle and create your personal focal symbol, it has some pretty hot techniques. Peace Michael

Sean, willing to sacrifice himself in the name of sex and science. I say go for it. You know both sides of the issue. You're not biased, you want the truth. YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Actually you can, the question is can your intrepid listeners. Let the experiment begin, just stop if you notice a few extra grey hairs early on. Michael

Goodness, what is there 'Tech Support' like? How many plunges were you doing sir?, I see, are you exceptionally hairy down there? Right handed or left handed? 'Sir, you did order the Giganto model you know, To know if its right for you, you'll need a measuring tape and several well placed mirrors' Peas Michael Like Cinderella its all about finding the slipper that fits, or the fit thats slippery.

You mean there's not big resale market for a gently used aneros? Peas Michael

Glenn Morris also said Kunaliniesque experience wasn't based on retention. Western thinking is mostly devoid of its usefulness, w/ sports stars mostly but not always taking retentions side, at least before a game. I don't think retention is much needed for the young. Other then for self imposed disciplinary practice. When you get older, it may be more of a missed meal, or two, older still and loss of a meal and some sleep. Maybe. Peace Michael

I'm not a big believer in astrology. That said, I'm a dragon trying to find Balance. Always close, til I wobble and over compensate. Peas Michael

Gee Sean, why does it always have to be me me meme w/ you? Peas Michael Using tools of the dream to wake from the dream. Interesting.
