Just wait here and I'll be right back.

The problem is becoming more and more obvious.

A few more hints: Reincarnation and Evolution are the same word.

I guess in your case it is different strokes for different folks. As for me: I chose to do the work that stood the test of time in China. Why? To me it was and is written in plain English and Chinese. A method that works on multiple levels. My recomendation is to do what works for you. I can only recommend what worked for me. I'll be there knowing & growing further. I agree that:Athiesm is not the way Why debate what is not there?

MPG, OBE is a cute and sometimes usefull toy. But, after all is said and done, it is only a toy.

I was wandering through this website today and saw a few video's on it - it's a good site to play the video sound as you look for the other. Another on Chakra mantra harmonics

The initial exercises for OBE are also healing exercises that rejuvinate the worn parts of the body as well as the mind. Other than that, taking antioxidents such as Vitamin E over the lifespan works from the pharmacalogical point. I'm sure you know the rest. One other not so commonly known anti-aging trick is to balance the chakras. Watch the folowing video to see if it does anything for you. Try it while meditating to experience the full effect. Having sex during OBE is new to me but I do use OBE to meet girlfriends and then meet them later in physical. They very rarely remember the OBE but follow the directions more perfectly than as if hypnotized. Come to think about it the dream/sleep state, at the subconscious level is, open to suggestion.

Very true but the followup is even more important as a person needs to experience it to know the questions to ask so as to guide through the unseen. Furthermore only those with experience can interpret the questions as well as to know the difference between dreaming and the realities of the astral.

I think that as you learn more of Taoist thinking, you will find that Taoist Science is largely about timings of the universe such as seasonal diseases, Chinese astrology etc. Here is a webpage on Buddhist philosophy (Not religion) What needs to be said is contained mainly within just one or two lines. I think that as you grow with the OBE ability, you will see how Buddhist philosophy ties into it as it is largely about cause and effect(karma)and morality. http://www.amtbweb.org/tchem001.htm

mewtwo, Hiring is often seasonal whereas looking for hiring in seasonal locations may be your key. Summer locations, such as Hawaii etc., are now coming to an end - although winter locations, such as ski resourts, are in the process of beginning. The Shiping industry is also a hiring possibility for year round. Here is the workers union for The Shiping industry- http://www.seafarers.org/jobs/

Melanie, Very few people have a natural talent for OBE so I did some checking into you. I also have a natural talent for OBE and I wanted to see simularities. According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, you are born almost on Buddha's Birthday. Buddha was born on the 21st Lunar day, your birthday is on L15 of May. I was born on the Lunar 21st of May. The first OBE, I remember, was when I was about 15 years old. I have had them since then when I was worried about something or needed to OBE for some reason. I have only consciously intended to have one a few times and it was after I had found a Yogi that taught me the methods. Lately I have been practicing the methods again as I see a need forming. If you like we can E-mail and I will teach you. The methods are from Yoga, they work - and they will give you insights into yourself and your life. Most probably we will not be able to meet as I have lived in China for some years and do not intend to leave. I am originaly from USA's Appalachian mountain area so there should not be a language problem. (If you can understand Hill-Billyease To find my E-mail just click on the picture to the Left of this post. A few Questions, Do you have a lot of these times when you wake up at numbers like 11:11 ? Can you tell yourself what time to wake up and do? Can you send a mental request to a friend that you would like to talk and they call you? Is there anyone in your family with the names: Lavelle, Moss, or Bonnie ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've been reading a few of your previous posts and see that the worry warts are trying to cause you problems. There are some posters here that see their purpose as to disrupt and others that know just enough to be dangerous, that simply want to see their words in writing and to see if they can influence others. The above is one of the worst things that a person can do to someone beginning to studying OBE. Like I wrote above, I've been having these OBE's since I was about 15 - I am quite a bit older than you are now. My experiences with them have been Very normal as well as no danger -But you -Absolutely- Must learn to controll your imagination and to understand your dreams. Here is a website on a person that has many, many, many documented OBE's. (Something like 14,000) The documentations are stored in a library that is kept for future research.. I've read a few of the books written on his life's work and used them as guides rather than to listen to the know nothings and disrupters. I suggest that you take a few minuites to read a little of his life's work. Pay particular attention to his method for reaching the OBE level given on this website: http://sleepingprophet.org/ His organization is here: http://www.edgarcayce.org/are/edgarcayce.aspx?id=1036

Sound, Color and Chakras Video try it while meditating to see the effect.

In my previous post, I was replying to Chakra problems - but neck "blockage" leading to fatigue and breathlessness"... This is an entirely new critter. This is more of a bio-physical problem -possibly the onset of a circulatory problem. I would see a medical Dr. for this... 2nd best would be to could make a call to a hospital's emergency room to ask them of it -and describe your symptoms.

Interesting in that all that have responded seem to have some portion of understanding, and all are from different angles as is the bagua, whereas paul walter summmmmms them all up with post #8. Well here comes # 9. It's a trick I learned from Edgar Cayce: http://sleepingprophet.org/ Edgar Cayce thought our mind was the most powerful tool imaginable - he used it to heal himself as well as many other... I would follow in his footsteps by using your mind to mentaly relax the area of problem as you focus some on the breath and breathe through the blockage as you relax the area with yourr mind.

In the Buddhist way: the only one that can forgive us is ourself. AKA: If you can't do the time - don't do the crime. More simply put - Grow up or Shut up.

Beoman, one point is obvious - Change is happening to you in the region you describe. Why not ride it out to see what develops ? All that you need to do to reverse the process is to stop meditating.

If you are seeing it in TTB - that rules out a pharmacalogical reason as we are from different places.

Ya Mu, in the sung dynasty Chinese medicine was destroyed. What is left is a basic excuse for using western med techniques with a bit, of timing, out of the Yellow Emperor's guide.

Mokona, Your searching is the beginning of your healing process. One of my areas of education is in psychiatric nursing where I have worked with many others, in a hospital setting, that were much more worried with their condition than you are describing. Although it is presently painfull, mainly because you do not yet understand why the pain persists, you are slowly finding the way to healing -through your searching. Obviously though - you are not happy with the frequency that you, yourself, are able to find answers. The reason that the people I worked with were in a psychiatric hospital was that a professional, with much more education in the field than I, had recomended that they be in a hospital setting in order to protect themself from themself. I write the above to point to the level of a patient in a hospital setting's needs in comparison to yours. From your own words, it seems to me, to be that you are very capable of functioning in society with no prsently real danger to your self With that said, the assistance of a person with professional as well as personal knowledge, of your pain, would be the best place to be conducting your search. You will know that you have found the right person when they begin telling you of their own experiences and the methods they used to heal themself. I suggest that you begin with searching, in the phonebook - just ask the receptionist that answers the phone, for a person that has studied the work of Carl G. Jung as he was the pioneer that brought Taoist dream interpretation to the west through his analysis of the book: The Secret of the Golden Flower . Don't be worried if the first calls don't have answers for you - it wouldn't be a search if they did *** http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/The_Secret_of_the_Golden_Flower Excerpt from the above URL " In Carl Jung's autobiography (Memories, Dreams, Reflections, 373-377), he wrote a section about his friend Wilhelm and said, in relevant part, "In China he had the good fortune to meet a sage of the old school whom the revolution had driven out of the interior. This sage, Lau Nai Suan, introduced him to Chinese yoga philosophy and the psychology of the I Ching. To the collaboration of these two men we owe the edition of the I Ching with its excellent commentary." Presumably, the same is true of the yoga philosophy of The Secret of the Golden Flower. Although Wilhelm's original German edition first appeared in the autumn of 1929, just months before he died (according to the Preface by Baynes), Jung indicates in his Foreword to The Secret of the Golden Flower that Wilhelm had sent him the text earlier, and also indicates that it was on Jung's initiative that the book was published." http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/The_Secret_of_the_Golden_Flower#Credits
