You used the magic word: Practice There are 132 replies to this topic with the vast majority being nonsense but the beginning and a few inbetween will supply what you are looking for. http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/11802-awakening-psychic-abilities/ The process takes 100 days on average. E-mail me if you have any questions - I mastered the Savasana about 30 yers ago and still practice it daily. It is the key to Raja Yoga.

Another positive is that Sprouts can be sprouted and eaten on the 2nd day.

It seems a search for the beginnings of understanding & method. First think of magnetism and polarity and attraction/repulse - these are the elements involved. To experiment, use your own body & mind to create an electrical circuit between hands. You should be able to feel the energy flow - as heat or magnetic attraction. Make the stronger side to be positive flow, the weaker side to be a sink or a catch-all drain. One side pushes, other side pulls. As with all we do - the more practice - the more expertise.

With my yoga teacher from the BWT, a 10 day fast was done each year by slowly stoping all food - not water - and then returning to food with wheat germ and milk, in moderate amounts, for starters. After the 10 days were up there were very strong changes in physical appearance to the positive. The days were spent largely meditating and sleeping -always- with head to the north.

I prefer younger, but legal, girls but I also teach them the way to get what they want in life. My older G/F's are now university grads with some experience in the professional arena that still come when I call but do not socialize with any of the others... The younger G/F's actually look for an older man when I leave them alone too long - so I don't. Contrast this with: The natives of N. America and Druids of Scotland/Europe using this as a standard with the older men being more devoted to family and coming with a bit more posessions, including experience as well as knowledge and stability, whereas the younger girls are prime real estate, mentaly and physicaly, for making a family. Overall I see it as the way of nature.

In Hong Kong, most people don't own land but live in high rises - so I teach people to make sprouts ! In addition I have been teaching, my few friends that do own land, how to compost so as to have vitamins and minerals retained in their diet. Here's some information on it: The Why's "Sprouted Seeds: "Forgotten Food," enhances immune system and rejuvenation By Sol Azulay Five thousand years ago Chinese nobles ate sprouted seeds for rejuvenation and healing. Today, research seems to be confirming that sprouts are the food of the future, as well as a food of the past. During WWII, when the United States was concerned about a possible meat shortage, the scientific community advised the government that the consumption of germinated seeds was the best and the cheapest alternative to proteins in meat. Today, the increasing tendency to avoid eating meat means that sprouts are taking a serious place in modern culinary approach. The value of sprouts is becoming more and more accepted among many in the scientific community today. Sprouts are found to be a complete protein. Untampered natural sprouts assist in the building of nerves, tissue, bones and blood. Dr. Ann Wigmore, founder of the Ann Wigmore Foundation in Torreon, New Mexico, has dedicated her life to confirming the healing properties of sprouts. For the past 30 years, the foundation and four related institutes have treated people for different disorders. Sprouts were found to contribute extensively to the immune system, and were shown to be excellent detoxificants." Article continues at: http://www.living-foods.com/articles/sproutedseeds.html Here's some more information on it: Enzymes and Longevity http://www.living-foods.com/articles/enzymes.html To make a long story short, I grow bean sprouts year round (mainly mung beans), when the seeds have sprouted a root about 1/8 inch long, I put them in a blender with some cold distilled water and blend them into a juice, then strain the fines out of the mixture to make an extremely potent enzyme rich drink - that I drink about once or twice every week. For over 10 years I do not get sick unless I forget the sprout juice for over a month... By the way - enzymes are what he hospitals treat cancer with... The How's: Step one Bringing our body into natural chemical balance. Making an enzyme rich extract that helps to rebuild our body systems through replacing the enzyme bank of the Pancreas while supplying vitamins. Our society is an almost 100% cooked food society. Temperatures above 105 F' destroy enzymes For millions of years we have eaten food raw. Cooking foods destroys the enzymes. We must get them in our food. This is about a food extract. The # 1 rule in the process is no heat above 100'F (55' C) The # 2 rule is Be careful eating the beans like a salad as an unsprouted bean can break a tooth... The process: Using Mung Beans Making a juice extract by sprouting (1/4 to 1/2 of a cup) of the seeds so that they have a root emerging no more than 1/8 inch. It takes about 24 hours to sprout the seeds in the summer. The process: I cover them in tap water for about 4 hours & then pour the water away, let them dry for a few hours & cover them with tap water again and repeat the process untill they sprout a root emerging no more than 1/8 inch. Then put them in a blender with about 3 times as much cold distilled water as seeds. Blend them with the cold water so that the seeds become like a powder. Strain the blended seeds & water through a stainless steel wire type filtering seive that you can find at grocery stores & drink the juice while it is fresh. Throw away the grounds. To build up your enzyme bank in your pancreas, you will need to do this every 2 or 3 days for a month or 2. Then about once a week. Even if I begin feeling a little sick, if I drink the juice, the illness does not develop. I keep some of the semi sprouted beans in the refridgerator most of the time & snack on them - but the juice extract is what really works. Be careful eating the beans like a salad as an unsprouted bean can break a tooth... The juice also acts as a catalyst for the endocrine system to bring hormones into balance.

Something is wrong. I've been meditating daily over 20 years and never had anything like what you are describing - nor have I ever known anyone else to have these symptoms.

Immortality is staring at you and you choose to be blind? Actually, spanking your monkey will make you blind. Immortality of the body is in your genetics. Immortality of the self is seen in the The Savasana. The Savasana allows you to choose your next birthmother. "How is it possible to gain what you already are?" Open your eyes to see the world as it is. Your Heaven and hell is created by you - in your children: Your children are the bearers of your next life. Charles Darwin noticed a repetition of genetics every 3rd generation. http://www.scribd.com/doc/18795161/probability-in-genetics http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?/topic/11802-awakening-psychic-abilities/

The lesson is that ignorance has a price. Learn to think for yourself. Alchemy is simply using Metaphors - albeit in an acient (dead) language AKA: 'conceptual metaphor.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceptual_metaphor Metaphor Definition: Metaphor is when you use two nouns and compare or contrast them to one another. Unlike simile, you don't use "like" or "as" in the comparison. Examples I am a rainbow "I am a rainbow" is a example of metaphor because it is comparing two nouns, a person, and a rainbow, but does not use like or as. I am not Anger "I am not anger" is an example of metaphor because it is contrasting two nouns. MY LIFE IS A DREAM My life is a dream, like a tiger waking up from her deep sleep. My life is like a dream, it's all up to me, the trees are purple, the stars talk away the night, the moaning moon lights up the sky. By Autumn I AM LAS VEGAS I am Las Vegas growing by the infinite awake morning by night, or day. I am Las Vegas My hand is the sand. By Rachel I AM A SWORD I am a sword, Sharper than a tongue Nobody can defeat me, Because I am a sword, I can not be hurt by what people say About me, I will not show my anger Against Someone else. By Alex MATH Math is the career for kids. If you don't know math you won't make any money. you won't get a job. you won't get a house. By Jake http://library.thinkquest.org/J0112392/metaphor.html

Evolution proves reincarnation. Survival information is passed down in genetic code. As such - you will be creating your own heaven or hell in how you raise your children. This is the Tao. ~jK~

Interesting - I was just thinking of going to Guam for a look-see. Is there camping there? How's the ocean? Most places in Pacific, even Hawaii, are getting too polluted I keep a base in Hong Kong where I study Chinese philosophy, culture etc... Congradulations in your delving into history and true meanings. I did the same - with the same results. Buddhism has evolved into a education into philosophy -not a religion- with a basis in meditation. Ch'an Buddhism = Chinese style Buddhism AKA Zen Buddhism. Buddhism points to the way being that: "No one can forgive you but you" (Self Reliance for being a bad guy) Here is a good website on Buddhism: http://www.amtbweb.org/tchem001.htm Tao is a slightly different critter as it is also about meditation but has taken into it sciences, philosophy, ancestor worship based in reincarnation, and a few styles of yoga. Taoist Yoga = mainly Kundalini as seen in the Taoist Book "The Secret of the Golden Flower." The problem with Taoism comes largely from it being written in an ancient alchemical language (A represenative style such as: To have a 'golden heart' = a person with a 'good heart' toward others) The Chinese Taoists call basic meditation "Inner Cultivation" as it is seen as a way to improve one's inner self. I tend to agree. I see inner cultivation as empty mind meditation. As far as a 'combination of both' - I take what suits me and leave the rest. Evolution proves Reincarnation to be true.

Communism and Capitalism are 2 sides of the same coin. Communism is used for a developing economy whereas the government subsidizes particular intrests to help them develop. Capitalism is used within a developed economy to create competition within the economy. If the people do not think for themselves - they become sheep being led to the slaughter - by TV, news etc... Remember smoking is healthy ads on TV? Beer is sexy.... etc.

I tend to follow Michael's observation but would like to add that 'A farmer clears his field before planting so that old growth does not intefere with the new.' This translates into: Learn some basic exercises and meditation such as given in "The Five Tibetans" which will align your body and begin to empty the mind for new growth. If you can master the simple exercises in the 85 page booklet - you will have an excellent beginning. I've known masters with many years of training - they would only give simple step by step methods for meditation first - and then hang around to answer questions about what was happening. Much like what is happening from your first post on this topic... In my opinion, the Key to the Tao is in my signature - at the bottom of this post:

Pietro, Pietro, Pietro... Good analytical technique ! Polarities are one point but kinda already said in the Yin / Yang thing. The extremes were pointed to a long time ago - what is needed is a roadmap of the in-between. With that said - How about a new toy for the hungry mind of a tiger? In science, nothing is truly original. This says, in essence, that we can only notice what nature makes and copy it. As such, what is enlightenment? If it is rebirth... then to recreate enlightment we must study: Firstly - how do we recreate the conditions of being born ? Secondly - what happens as we are born?

They try but I simply look at the source and forget to listen. Search engines really are easy to use.

You're having a problem reading? Try rereading a few times. Guardian of the Gate is a term from Raja Yoga that yoga's use to describe a barrier that must be crossed. http://www.insight-books.com/MNDP/Master-Mind-Key-To-Mental-Power-Development-Efficiency/0911662669.html?PHPSESSID=b6cd2314bd823b337d10f2f8131c95b7 Search engines work for me - what is Your problem?

Halucinogens will not activate it - What has happened is that you have lost controll. You are meeting what is called "The Guardian of the Gate" which is your fears, hopes and desires in a lucid dream like halucenogenic state of mind. Good luck as you have done this to yourself. The only way out of the trip is Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin C in average doses. B Complex is the mind's vitamin. According to what you took - it may take some time to get it out of your system. If the situation gets too heavy the hippies used to titrate the halucinations with medical pot but that is very expensive and some places it is illegal without a Dr.'s prescription ...
