  1. I always get this feeling of a presence on the top of my head which allways almost without fail corresponds with someone either phoning me or emailing me. I have it right now, but no contact from anyone....i get the feeling i'm being talked about lol! Does anyone else experience this? do you think it is just about sensing others intention or something similar? Cheers Ed
  2. What is this? do you get this?

    Thanks again Neichaun! i'll do that when i get the sensation and see if any change occurs--cheers! Ed
  3. What is this? do you get this?

    Thanks neichaun! would you recomend bringing it down the front like mco? i don't think i'm a disciplined enough meditator for it to be a development peace Ed

  7. Kundalini

    Thanks Susan
  8. Kundalini

    Susan, hi! You said once k is started it cannot be stopped. I had the experience i told you about when i had an energy drink and my vision suddenly went inside and i saw a green vine with stars on and they all closed up one by one. Once the energy had descended i sensed entitys around me and would get lashes on my hands which were very painfull and left visible marks. Since then not much has really happened in terms of k at all. do you think i had a reaction to something in the drink which locked everything up. i had a dream the night before where i was told not to drink it! doh as far as you know can medication for bi-polar/psychosis stop k working? sorry im not being very clear with questions thanks Ed

  18. Working on the solar plexus

    Action, action, action and more action!! you need to do some introspection and find if you do not know allready what is holding you back in life? What stops you from making strong decisions and going ahead and doing them? When you walk amongst others do you slump your shoulders and collapse your chest/solar plexus area? if so work on not doing that. When you are angry do you just turn to inertia? if so try working with the anger, stay focused on what you are doing and act but don't give in to the angry feelings, just use the energy for positivity.. The solar plexus area is all about personal power and action. Good luck!! Ed

  22. Original sin

    Wanted to give the forum my take on original sin. Probably most of you don't accept it in shape or form, and that is why you have turned to daoism etc. I'm not wishing to diss daoism.. i believe if i studied it carefully i'd find great similarities to christianity. First off I think original sin has got a lot to do with being honest and following advice/instruction not really from authority but from a trusted one. Adam and Eve were both warned against eating from the tree of knowledge. But they were "tempted" to eat by the serpent. As such they were both cast to the earth where we all live and remain today. We have to work and survive amongst all that is here on earth. The key word is "work". It was actually an order not a bit of advice. But we are not really fullfilling this obligation. We try to make things easy for ourselves by way of technology and taking drugs/alcohol to ease the pain so to speak. What this has done, and i know i don't need to point this out to any of you, is that we are in global crisis because of it. Some get lazy and mentally unstable/ill through drugs and others become abusive/violent through alcohol. Technology also has us become more and morte lazy and specifically the internet is rewiring our brains. We were specifically told to plough the earth and eat of it. Also one of the commandments i thou shall not kill..but we are slaughtering the animals to eat. Some say as in islam that we were forgiven, but then why are we still here? it's clear to me that it is about acceptance and being present and doing th work and learning to follow orders/advice. In short, this life here on earth is one big learning process. And i'm guessing it is so that when we are forgiven and something changes..i don't know, messianic age, or we are in the light of spirit up above; it so that we don't make the same mistake again, and we learn to trust God once again and not be decieved and we stay strong and present in our spirituial awareness and don't give in to any temptations. Thats why i again i guess, that the body works the way it does...jing,qi, shen... it's progressive and we have to make saccrifices and not give in to the sexual temptation or other indulgences. You might think genesis is a harsh story/lesson, but just think what might be if they hadn't been decieved. Sorry if i sound like a fundamentalist evangelical.... i'm not, i'm not disciplined at all! just hope some might see what io see. For the record, i beleive any spiritual system, or at leat most of them, i havent' studied thasst many indepth, is gonna lead to forgiveness.. because they all in essence give the same message and lead to the same awareness. I'm a christian though myself...many reasons why! peace happy cultivating!! Ed
  23. Original sin

    As i unederstand it, the bible is the story of the journey of the soul. In exodus, moses is the human will touched by the presence of god, and wondeering through the wilderness is the journey, mount sinai is the ascension to union with god. You can look at the whole of the bible and new testemant and being an even broader account of the same journey ending in Jesus as being in union with God. Sorry if i upset anyone with my first post. peace ~Ed
  24. While chilling out yesterday night i noticed a lot of background noise which i thought was street noise. It was just a humming which if i listened to and tried to make it out could turn to anything. Then i thought wait a minute it's me! then i felt that it was the ajne chakra...seeing as i was having all these realisations at the time, seeing things clearly....basically realised much of my past beliefs really were just imagination. But now all this chakra hearing could be my imagination as well. just the thing is when i tuned into it i really was able to relax and think very lucidly....i dunno what do you guys/gals think from what ive said?? Sorry if this is a really outhere post! peace Ed
