>>The 10,000 Things ARE the Body of the Original Spirit<<

– that is it in a nutshell – mind you Max says his teachers say the same. So I don't understand this business of 'illusion' and being disconnected from Tao by being in a body that, if Max's teachers don't say it, still seems to get said.

I would also like to reply to Fajin when he…[Read more]

Hi Fajin and other contributors to this debate –

I just wanted to make clear something that Michael is saying which speaks to me, and which others do not seem to be addressing…

Fajin says that the personality overshadows original yuan nature and that therefore –

Hey ff.,

>>I would really like to find out how you cast spells and what you use them for – especially since you say your method’s similar to the Huna way<<

Well I didn't exactly say that! What is similar I think is my attitude towards it. On the site you linked me to, it said that the first thing you consider in a casting a spell is that the…[Read more]

Hey ff and mb,

>>man, i had to laugh at that example, ‘cos i see it so much. where i work, all the blokes have hot cars and rev them hard when girls walk past.<<

– that set off the train of thought about how this ego problem ff outlined then gets into the social mindstream. Of all those guys who own such a car, how many actually have this…[Read more]

hey .ff

>>I think ‘goalessness’ can only be reached when all the creases in one’s ego have been ironed out. There are no tensions. Then you allow your core to lead you, and make concious tensions naturally, spontaneously and with full awareness – always bringing the tension back into emtiness after it’s done what it needed to.<<

I agree with…[Read more]

Not sure if ‘The Jesus Mysteries’ by Gandy and Freke would be of help or not. Not directly sociological but much sociology exatrapolatable therefrom – and alot less than $300! NN

Yeah I know the freedom/discipline one also. You’re right on the integration of opposites being central to everything. The techniques you were discussing with Alexander Alexis – I’m not sure exactly where they come from but I seem to be moving towards something similar instinctively so eventually I will want to compare notes maybe.

>>In fact…[Read more]

– and that its route was different? I remember this from our last ’bout’… something about the back of the neck. Can you remind me? thanks NN

I like this alot, particularly the part about strengthening the yes.

I have found in my personal case that when one has a choice one always chooses both things. Whichever one is ‘officially’ not chosen becomes part of the shadow self to be integrated later. NN

– excellent. The guy who got me into all this. His way is a combination of chakra-style yoga with qigong. He made connections with the Japanese ninja budo. However like Jernej says it is a hang-onto-your-hat method. I will continue to use it but need better grounding and clearing out first. Thoroughly recommend all his books especially the first…[Read more]

I agree – and will stop the conversation, not to punish, but to save my own energy.

>>Nice to feel your Heart again<<

Nice to, um… be felt? NN

Where do you get info on huna stuff then? NN

OK Paulino –

>>Hey why are you telling us that the world dont consists of clear cut groups, why dont you go tell the israelis or the zionist supremacists who have occupied MY government and whose sole allegiance is to fucking israel and who ship 3 billion dollars yearly to israel while i and million american fellows dont even have health…[Read more]

Magicians talk about this cord alot, as the connector between the astral and physical bodies. If you search the site at the end of this post you will find alot about it. It is from a western Hermetic perspective but don’t let that deter you, I am sure the source is trustworthy. Incidentally, the author of that site (Rawn Clark)says that there is…[Read more]

… Alexander that you are quite taking into account everything re the martial arts here?

I myself don’t practice martial arts at all but I have the highest respect for those who do the arts that really result in inner cultivation as well. The late great Glenn Morris (aka ‘Dr Death’)was my first teacher – his nickname was well-earned I assure…[Read more]

>>There is a lot of heartful energy between the unknown solitary seekers and the fact that even the most tormented seekers are still allowed here is speaking for the openness and generosity of the host.<<

You're quite right.

I also sometimes feel isolated… I think the media wants people like us to feel isolated, which makes it all the more…[Read more]

>>mate, not all of us are difficult, arrogant or conflict driven.<<

You're right. I'm sorry if that seemed insulting. I'm doing what Paolino's doing, tarring things with a massive brush.

My impressions of this board have been gathered over a period of time, but there have been long breaks in between visits. It's just that, hell with it, I…[Read more]
