Idiot-Stimpy, could you say more about the implanting idea you expressed please? i'm interested for obvious reasons. Another possibility could be that the memory's are a way of diverting pain from a personal issue to something else. A way of expressing lack of hope. Cheers, Edward

Even without intervention by a hypnotherapist, it's possible to remember things that never happened. I know because this happened to me. It was caused by excessive worry over something, a personal issue. I'm not saying this has happened to you, but be mindful of the possibility, please. I lost out on my twenties to false beliefs caused by these false memory's, if there is a possibility this has happened to you, please go and see a professional who can help you sort out in your mind if this really happened or not. A question to ask yourself is, do you remember the exact point you first remembered these memory's, and if so, what were you thinking about? All the best to you, whatever happened if these are real or false memory's, i honestly hope it all works out for you, i know what it's like! Edward

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH4bmi1AIG8 Hi all, Good interview here.. he says that there is a tradition that says if a lay person becomes an arahant they have to become a monastic within 7 days or they will die. Can anyone shed any light on this? Cheers, Edward

Hi,, well, if you watch the interview, he is asked about the potential of gaining enlightenment for lay people. His reply is that monasticism is set up to create the conditions for enlightenment, but that lay people have gained enlightenment. However, lauy people who have become arahants have been killed by being gored by bulls etc, hence the tradition that says if you reach this level you must take monastic vows or you will be killed. I was just wondering if anyone had heard this before and if so, if they knew the reason karmic or practical behind this? Cheers, Edward

Nikolai, you might be interested in the works of Lewis Keiser. He has gotten to the core of Yeshua's teachings through proper translation etc he also holds apostolic succession in authentic gnostic lineages through Yeshua's disciples as well as orthodox apostolic succession. His HomeTemple training allows one to have the apostolic succession handed to them and include teachings from other traditions, be it shamanism, daoism, buddhism etc. Edward

I remember trying this de-switchng exercise when it was first posted... it's like coming out of hypnosis after completing the exercise, you realise everything was foggy and suddenly it's all very clear and your environment makes a lot more sense and is easier to interact with. Highly recommend everyone gets on this!! Thank for posting Edward

I second Michael Lomax's (YaMu's) distance neigong course. Have done it twice now and been astonished each time by the rise in energy body vibration and awareness. I'd say if you do the course and practice everyday from then on, you are pretty much set for life as far as cultivating your energy body goes. Michael helps light the fire of the dan tian and passes information at the same time in this way. You will have the lineage behind you as well as a great teacher. I believe what Michael says in his book, if you practice everyday with awareness on dan tian, you will open all your energy centres, when they are meant to be opened. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do

Hey Hundun, thanks for posting this. I've been reading your posts about shaking and tried it the past few days. I noticed two things, once you tune into the energy and let go, either the energy dances you, OR, if you go deeper, it becomes spasms like an epileptic fit. This has also been happening when i do my seated meditation since i started the shaking. It feels good, one becomes more alive. I find the shaking/trembling initiates from the area between the navel and sternum. Thanks again for putting this out there for us!!

Source, thanks that is some good advice there... just got me a prebiotic and a probiotic .... have done fasting before and always felt great after! i have the book, the undiscovered self, never got around to reading it fully, will do bro, thanks!! Peace

Thanks Songstan, Well, i hear you, yes i was particularly down that day, but lets just say i haven't been the same since nine years ago. I'll pm you instead of writing here.... i'm hoping this will die down (the thread) Peace

Cheers for the advice Rob mate!! i'm fine now, it was a one day downer thing lol... to be honest i didn't know about the meditation/neigung thing in march.. very much doubt i'd be able to afford it anyway... i'll give alex a shout and see what the score is! Nungali, cheers to you too! very interesting what you say... my psychosis is solely based on 'false memory's' much like a powerful lucid dream... Peace

Apeiron and peiron, thanks, yes moving on is key! Rara, nice one mate! i agree whole heartedly, and i'm guilty of being lazy lately, hence getting overtaken the other day! yep, from england, london Daeluin, thanks dude, i appreciate your advice, gonna sort the sleeping out, get out more, and would cut down on eating but i'm way underweight right now..like severely! Peace

Cheers mate! had a realisation today, that may or may not be accurate.. that when we meditate we are using he conscious mind to go to the unconscious mind and observe it.. we initiate spiritual growth with the conscious mind. But with some forms of psychosis, when the unconscious floods the conscious mind, the same process is happening, but in reverse. The unconscious goes looking for conscious mind by flooding the conscious mind with unconscious mind stuff. In a sense, the unconscious mind is initiating spiritual growth in psychosis rather than the reverse in non psychotic people sitting down to meditate. Peace

oh man, i was hoping no one else would reply so i could ask for this to be deleted haha, embarrassing, was at a particular low point yesterday, but feel fine today! Songstan, that's great advice , cheers! i've been meaning to sort that out for a while now! will do bro! Nikolai1, thanks dude, actually i had a dream the other night where i was given a box with the label, 'knock from the unconscious' that when opened was a broken record or ekhat tolle reading the power of now... i have to take note of this!!! haha actually it wasn't women, it was a big bearded muslim guy at the checkout. I had no knowledge of kundalini at that time, it was only later i heard about all the esoteric stuff. I agree with your main message, to stay in the present thanks! about the drink, i did see a shaman about this... she came back with showing that it was me who sent a thought form into the drink which i drank back into myself... i've just had a hard time believing it... probably out of wanting to play the blame game etc and not being in the present! Rara, thanks mate! i've got a good support team right now, spiritual friends, tcm doc, etc etc am working with them to get grounded... have yin yang separation apparently. That was the thing, i ws supposed to go to a martial arts class yesterday,, until this massive downer hit me. Ok Soaring Crane, will do bro!! lol Thanks for help everyone... i'm still very embarrassed by my original post yesterday... i'm one of the lucky ones, shrinks =found nothing wrong with me last time, just a low mood... Peace out!

Thanks Jetsun, i'll send you a pm... Peace

Back in 97-98 I was smoking a joint out of my bedroom window (quit smoking now), and i noticed a fox was staring up at me from the street. It's eyes seemed to penetrate something within me and my eyes started to burn. Didn't think much of it until recently. On the night of the millennium, i remember walking in a park and seeing foxes dancing with each other under the moonlight... there was something really magical in a way about it. About 8 years ago, i started hearing foxes every time i tried to pray. This was after a couple of strong experiences with Spirit/God and an encounter with someone quite special during which i made a promise which i subsequently broke. Now years later i'm suddenly seeing the word fox or a photo of a fox, or actual foxes everywhere i go. Sometimes i force myself awake out of a profound dream which i don't remember only to hear loud fox cries. And recently the past few days while practicing stm neigong, i hear the foxes outside on the street. Really don't know what to make of it all. A friend suggested it might be a spirit guide, i'm not sure because i don't know much about them, only a little about power animals. But i've seen the numerology to the number 666 is FOX. There is more to it, but i can't write it on a public forum... except that i sometimes see fox imagery as i'm falling asleep. Any idea? Peace.

Thank you Lotus, Namaste

Rara, not sure i'm sane either lol.... but i don't blame it on the mushrooms, they did me a lot of good at the time...many many years ago! Lotus, you hit the nail on the head.... camouflage, what i promised did not fit in with who i am, and when i prayed it was from a place of camouflage, disguising who i was. No, it wasn't a lady..... don't really want to say who it was on a public forum.. sorry! Peace

Sounds hectic man!! don't blame you for wanting to walk away from it... getting pulled this way, then the other..confusing! Nlp i know is powerful, just sitting with and listening to an nlp therapist talk made first of all very spaced out, and then feeling very different later on. She just altered my time line because apparently it was out of whack... it did some positive change, but like you say, it should come from ourselves and our mind making it's own mind up. If one is stable and sane, then mushrooms can help us see what has been put there, and what is from within... Peace

Wow, having a marketing business you must definitely know about psychological programming! good you are aware of it! How do you go about reprogramming yourself? some kind of meditation? Peace

Thanks for the replies everyone! Sorry been quite busy lately. Well, yes it could be that i'm listening out for them, but i don't believe i'm doing it out of wanting experience synchronicites, more out of fear. Have been in the past into orthodox religion and fear based beliefs, which with the help of a few good friends, i'm starting to get over and see through. This is a bit of a derail, but i guess it's acceptable since i started the thread lol... but do you guys think that perhaps belief systems take one away from their own self in the sense of installing a pre set program into a deep part of ones self that alters their outlook on life etc, in a way, one self hypnotises or reprogrammes their self to fit into a pre-set set of beliefs? makes sense to me, and yes i'm one of those that now believes some shadowy network of incarnate and non-incarnate individuals are 'guiding' us/humanity for their own ends....... Peace

Aethereous, Thanks for the link! haven't read it thoroughly yet, but will do. I can see what you mean, i actually had psychosis myself and had the same phenomenon, but with people following me instead of foxes following me. Funny thing is, since writing this thread and being more comfortable to with foxes in general, it has pretty much stopped!! Although after reading something in the paper, which seemed to give an indication of what it was about, it may well be resolved now. Astral monk, cheers, could be, but not just in a spiritual sense. i think it's more holistic than that, it's about becoming who you are supposed to be, not trying to be someone or something else. A good healer on this forum said something similar to me after a healing which was extremely helpful. I tend not to agree with purely spirit based ideals, but more life and self actualisation ideals now. Blue eyed snake, thanks so much for sharing, appreciate you do doing that when you were reluctant. Yes, that sounds exactly what i;m experiencing, but not obviously as clear a message as yours was. You must feel truly blessed that spirit spoke to you and allowed you to bring much needed change into your life. Agreed it's about change, thanks for pointing it out. I know the answers to your questions, without analysing it was using analytical mind to be dishonest to myself, about who i am. Spirit was trying to tell me what i already knew but couldn't allow myself to believe. Peace be with you too. nine tailed fox, haha no it's now lol.. i'm talking real London street foxes! the ones that scream n the night and tear apart rubbish bags leaving trash and bones all over the street. Many thanks to all who commented! Edward

Hi Blue eyed snake, Thanks for your reply, i'm also glad to come across someone with same experiences. Yes, i find it a little unnerving, but less so after writing about it here. I felt maybe it was a sign of dishonesty on my part. I'll definitely look into the celtic background of foxes, thanks! it's been said a lot that simplicity is usually the best way to go, so i really should ask Fox what it wants Would be interested in hearing your experiences if you feel like sharing sometime? Peace

SoaringCrane, Thanks, that is good to know the number issue is meaningless! I see your point, i guess it's just the instances when Fox turns up that make me think there is more to it. No, i've never done a animal spirit meditation, but have had a power animal retrieval done before (it wasn't fox). This Life, Thanks, like i said to soaring crane it's really the timing of it all. We all see the world in different ways, personally i believe in omens etc and the unseen affecting the seen. One may say, the belief also manipulates reality so our beliefs shape reality. Peace
