  1. Help with Negative effects of Meditation?

    this is a difficult question, I do not know what it is called, but i have been doing it for months, here is a post from another topic in which i describe it: The problem is that I really don't know what i am doing. I stare at my third eye and I kind of grope around with my mind for the energy and then I push it into my head via breath. Sometimes it feels as if the energy originates in my head, sometimes heart, sometimes base of spine (kundalini? maybe?). In any case it is extremely powerful and gets very intense, it feels very tingly and warm and comes in surges. It feels like i am sending huge shock waves of energy to my head. And it creates intense visuals.
  2. Welcome my friend! if there is any way i can volunteer or help out your company please let me know. I would be glad to help.
  3. I did not know that some of the energy meditation that i was doing was dangerous, i thought it was all good, I just recently found out that you can fry your brain using kundalini energy (I am not sure that what i am doing is kundalini, I don't know what it is, I just know that it feels very intense), does this apply to other energy? It would explain a couple of episodes where i was jolted out of meditation and i felt as if i was on a bad acid trip. (the last thing i need is more brain damage, im a recovering drug addict of 4 years). Does all of this wear off? does it actualy do permanent damage or are they just temporary side effects of intense meditation? I am confused about all of this because some places say that it is actually good, and that it is the subconscious mind cleansing itself by releasing anxiety, fear, trauma through your conscious mind and then out. anyone know anything about this or have any experience? or know of anyone I can get consultation on this matter from? Any help would be appreciated. I guess i didn't even realize what i was doing... thank you!

  6. Kunlun Questions

    So much information, thank you! I really appreciate it! I have a lot of work to do. Do you know where i could purchase those crystals by any chance?
  7. Retention Thread

    We should really make a comprehensive guide to retention/celibacy and pin it. Just one page with different techniques for different situations, what foods help and what don't, different times of the day to utilize different energies etc... because everything is very scattered even when it is on one thread...just an idea. I am currently struggling with all of this as well. But kunlun, so far, is helping immensly.
  8. Islam: What The West Needs To Know

    obviously the documentary is very biased. Who made it? thats an imporatant question. I think that most of the accusations are really only true with the radicals, as I have met, and know some very genuine, peace loving muslims. Try not to let the opinions of the movie instill in you about muslims, exactly what you dislike about their religion. You can't fight hate with hate. just an opinion. I didn't watch the movie though.
  9. Kunlun Questions

    The problem is that I really don't know what i am doing. I stare at my third eye and I kind of grope around with my mind for the energy and then I push it into my head via breath. Sometimes it feels as if the energy originates in my head, sometimes heart, sometimes base of spine (kundalini? maybe?). In any case it is extremely powerful and gets very intense, it feels very tingly and warm and comes in surges. I intend to take it easy and to bring it to Max's attention (I am going to the seminar in Del Mar san diego). How do I take my vibrations higher than light? What is AYP? Anyway, I really appreciate your inquiry as I have been trying to get answers for a while and you are the first to show any investment, thank you! How does one ground themselves? also, do you have any information on opening the lower chakras? It has been suggested to me that my upper chakras are wide open while my lower ones, that i need to keep me grounded, are completely closed off. I think that this might be the problem. Any help is appreciated, thank you once again.
  10. Kunlun Questions

    my problem is that i get way too intense of energy tinglings... that are wild and intense visuals...I assume this is the third eye opening...My only problem is that i feel crazy after going so deep.... I need help with this as well.. I can relate to all the experience...Its wild isn't it? Keep jorneying my friend! it sounds like you got it!
  11. Very interesting, kind of chilling if what it says its true (i believe it to be so)...possibly the most informative thing on religion and politics i have ever seen...would appreciate other opinions...I am very curious to see what others think.... afterall...truth is not told...it is realized... the movie is at: zeitgiestmovie.com
  12. cool. thanks for your opinion. I have no bias either way. I could easily see this getting out of hand, I wanted only to throw that information out there to play devils advocate. I respect what you have to say. it says on the site all of the sources incase you wanted to know. once again, I do not have any reservations either way.
  13. hmmm...thank you for your opinion, Im going to research that further... Note this, however... "Now, it's important to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed. For example, some information contained in Part 1 and Part 3, specifically, is not obtained by simple keyword searches on the Internet. You have to dig deeper. For instance, very often people who look up "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" on the Internet draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources." from their statement page Also... "Online encyclopedias or text book Encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist. However, if one takes the time to read the sources provided, they will find that what is being presented is based on documented evidence. " from their statement page
  14. i just watched it again...its scary...

    I think I'm going to venture down to the San Diego seminar, anyone else fixin to go? How does one come by these 1 on 1's with max? I can also attest to the legitimacy of Max's transmission. Everyone says i have seemed a lot different since the seminar in LA and i have never felt so motivated towards spirituality. Since the seminar my knowledge and passion have grown, as well as my analytical mind, it has subsided and now allows me to feel instead of think. Since the seminar it has truly been a journey 'from the head to the heart.'
