  1. Stepping forward

    /respectfulbow Hello — and I will express now gratitude over this situation of “exchange” with this space-group. I am filling these details and this story out in this realm so that I may more clearly get a sense of reflection and a more precise angle on viewing the source and extent of what I will loosely call “my” energies and trajectory. For those who choose to embark on any part of this written journey, I offer my blessings and a respectful nod and a warm smile. I welcome to meet with any form of interaction you may wish to contribute to this thread. I demonstrated what I would call now “high levels” of natural presence and awareness as a child. As I grew and began developing and exploring, I consumed various “toxins” which were seemingly carried to me in such containers in my universe such as: (riding within the energies of) my parents, my younger sister, my parents cohorts...adherents of the Church of Christ movement as uniquely expressed in the Midwest USA “skin/coloring/version”, and Public Schooling. . . and when I say “toxins”, the main categories of this container are: [human-social-nettings](fear, anger, attachment, delusion, suffering, existential anxiety, survivalist-primal-level unconscious selfishness, energy vampirism, great exuberant passion and feelings of love toward abstract concepts that I couldn’t connect to, sexual guilt and shame, dread, the downcast qualities which only the thoroughly oppressed and defeated personalities would express), [environmental-toxins](Food from Walmart, fast-food, artificial food completely divorced from the vitality of life)(Polluted air...my first decade was 1990-2000...urban environment) and [Trauma] such as circumcision, etc., etc. Well okay, 28 years in and this all feels largely flushed out of my system, some mental and emotional and energetic remnants still in there I sense...sure, but we are working on this everyday...and sure, I am not presently located in a nature sanctuary either. One part of my journey has been ingesting plants such as cannabis, mushrooms, and some occasions with not as gentle things such as LSD, MDMA, and DMT. Okay, so those insights have been helpful but also tied into pockets of psychosis and auric tears maybe that developed during some of these experiences, and there has been a lot of uncertainty and confusion present. . . I certainly didn’t seem to have a strong enough Root to stay grounded and integrated during some of these phases...so sure, there are some knots here blocking clear presence and energy, but as before we are working on this everyday. I have seen and felt a lot of different Realms... I have always had moments of lightly having a “mostly vague” feeling/sense/awareness that there were other beings that I could not perceive around me... I have perceived and exchanged feelings and telepathy with “angelic beings” as well as felt “pressed on”, “pulled down”, and even “penetrated” by “Shadow-Monster-influenced beings”...I have felt telepathy and full grokking empathy with other humans and animals and insects...and weather patterns and physical objects. I am Beyond using plants (mostly)...(the desire and longing is certainly there)... I have been exposed via a live-in situation to Tibetan Buddhism as expressed in the Shambhala Buddhism Tradition. Different yoga forms before that. . . Hatha, Kundalini. . .different Tantric experiences... Some of the Xientienwujimen hermit lineage qigong. Just the intro-levels. Some different intuitive forms express themselves through my energy at times, and have taught me...but some of these experiences are also merged with different plant experiences so the integrity and validity of these movements have confusion surrounding them. I invested in 5 of Siri Terry Dunn’s Chi Kung for health DVD’s...Flying Phoenix Tradition...practiced across the first three with varying degrees of regularity. I felt stable wellness and great things...but drifted away for some circumstance or another. It is calling me back I believe. I recently came across the Falun Gong \ Falun Dafa movement, and was Immediately delighted to begin displaying fervent obsession and excitement over everything about it: the potency of the energy cultivation, the language and aesthetic of the View and Practice, but while reading other mentions of Falun Gong various energies of doubt and uncertainty have reached me, and so practicing feels unstable and I am not as ease with it for whatever circumstance. And now I find myself here, feeling gratitude as I fill out these details and this story for my own self-clarification as well as for a Stylized and Graceful entry into this realm. I largely feel more stable, sovereign, and capable than I have ever been before, and I am on this indescribable path of enlightenment. I have an inclination to stick with one path all the way, and at the same time I have an inclination and apparent aptitude toward synthesizing a unique and powerful new type of vehicle to progress down the Great Path in style (because why not?) In any case the horizon of my life in my world seems infinite and compelling, and I am allowing myself to be led by curiosity and love as I shatter beyond all limitations and illusions.
  2. Hi from France

    Hi everyone, I discovered the forum searching for semen retention so I subscribbed. Man, living in France, interested in spirituality since I was young, raised as Catholic, then philosophy, then I tried plants and semen retention since I was teenager, fasting, good diet (raw fruits, salads and juices essentially), meditation, Taoists, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj... love the sages, love wisdom, life, I wrote a lot... and I'm glad I found you, really cool forum, mature, full of nice people and good information. English is not my main language but I understand and write not so badly I think, but a strong french accent when talking. Thank you.
  3. I'd like to lay out a few experiments we could do to get a handle on unbiased<or less biased> reality. In my personal section I had a recipe that used the microwave oven <Paleo chocolate, almond, banana muffins>. Someone pointed out cavemen didn't use such ovens and that microwaves were inherently unhealthy. He had a link to a site that had information. Experiment 1. I looked at the site<& others pro and against> and told him, it seemed like ludite paranoia. However web page had an experiment done by the mans granddaughter. Two bean plants, once they had a few leaves one was fed water the other with microwaved water, in 9 days the microwave fed one was shriveled and leafless. I doubt this and would like to see it replicated. I suppose there could be a control using boiled water as a third, since heating water up tends to drop the oxygen level in it. Experiment 2. There are even more implications in the next one. In Emoto's book 'Wonders of Water' <something like that> he mentioned an experiment with rice. Put cooked white rice into two sealed containers. One had happy positive words, the other negative and insulting. In time the positive glass looked and smelled fresh, the bad evil nasty stupid rice container was rotted and spoiled. I'd like to see this test done and documented. Beyond these two, what experiments are We doing? With our practices and our lives. I've enjoyed reading Timothy Ferriss books on self experimentation same w/ A. J. Jacobs books that encompass his various 1 year explorations ie Drop Dead Healthy, Year of Living Biblically etc., P.S I don't mean to debate the matter. I want Science, I want personal experiments, might even do one myself. Cause in both cases I'm very skeptical, but it would be cool to be proved wrong, especially on the rice experiment, cause it does have the possibility to shift ones paradigms.
