So... I'd like to know what do we really have from Hermes.

Have his original teachings (a part of them) arrived to us?

What are their titles?

What do you think that are the best traslations?
(Maybe I should learn Greek, maybe not)

Thanks a lot,

I let you here some found about it, but my search is only started.

Very interesting,

ElijahW. So, it could be a kind of resonance. Veins get relaxed until they reach a natural frequency, which could be the heart reaches natural frequency. Then resonance or vibration appears.

I don't see clearly what you say, Chris...
I think our conscience changes of "vehicle", but without any transformation of energy.
And I'd say that the vibrations are further more intense when that change goes slowly.
But I'm not sure about this...

Bye.

About vibrations... what I think:

Everything in the Universe is vibrating. Everything has its own frequency. I could saw it, clearly, in the first section of a "documentary", called cymatics, I got it from the torrent net (in "mininova", I think).

Physical Body has one vibrational rate, and astral body has other one.

While they are disconnecting, you can feel, in your physical body, the vibrations (higher pitched ones) of the astral body.

What I think... about vibrations.

See you !!!!

Hello,

Control your fear, use it. Dont let it overcome you and use it to enhance your awareness and your energy.

How? To me, fear takes out my awareness, and "makes dirty" my energy. My prana mixes up with my feared feelings. No clear mind, or relaxation are possible.

Fear is more an enhancement having no fear is rare and anyone that says they have no fear is a liar.

But, maybe, it could be possible to feel and terminate fear, when it arises. Obviously, at the situations where it doesn't report any profit. These are, I think, those in were you don't need to fight, or run.
(I'm taking in mind the physiological response caused by fear, which is, I think, my actual problem.)

Several years in the special ops and fear is still with me so i just manipulate it and allow it to be a sense rather than an burden

Maybe it's usefull for you, cause you are "fighting". But, when you are in bed, trying to discover new things, I think it's impossible to use fear. 

I've known recently, some works of the author E. Tolle. This author says, you must accept the present time, as it is. This could be the factor I dismissed in the auto-observation techniques, I observed my fear, and I didn't think that was reality, and I should surrender to it. So, it seems to me, an internal fight arises every time you don't "surrender" to the present time. That makes anxiety endures, or grows up.

Thanks

Hi Mydral,

Let's try this: The mantra "OM".

When you inhale pronounce mentally "O". This must be an open "O". An spanish "O", like the first part of the english "o".

While you hold on the air, transform mentally, and quietly this sound in a nasal one.

Then, in the exhalation, pronounce mentally, the "M" sound.

You can hear here two candid "OM", pronounced by the Dalai Lama, at the beginning of a pray:

Thanks !!!

I'm sorry but that just sounds silly to me. It's not going to get rid of your fear as much as staring at the headlights of a car stops it coming.

umm, what if your are who is driving that car?
What is the way to get control of it?

I think you'll have to stare at it, while you try to get the control, or while you study your "drive way", to change it.

See you !

When we have realized these things, and have begun to feel our relation (in
these particulars) to the One Great Emanation of the Absolute, then we may
begin to grasp the idea of the Oneness of Spirit, and the relation of the "I"
to every other "I," and the merging of the Self into the one great Self, which
is not the extinction of Individuality, as some have supposed, but the
enlargement and extension of the Individual Consciousness until it takes in
the Whole.

Hello everybody.

"THE REALIZATION OF THE "I." The Candidate must first acquaint himself
with the reality of the "I," before he will be able to learn its real
nature. This is the first step. Let the Candidate place himself in the
State of Meditation, as heretofore described. Then let him concentrate
his entire attention upon his Individual Self, shutting out all thought
of the outside world, and other persons. Let him form in his mind the
idea of himself as a _real_ thing--an actual being--an individual
entity--a Sun around which revolves the world. He must see himself as the
Centre around which the whole world revolves. Let not a false modesty, or
sense of depreciation interfere with this idea, for you are not denying
the right of others to also consider themselves centres. You are, in
fact, a centre of consciousness--made so by the Absolute--and you are
awakening to the fact. Until the Ego recognizes itself as a Centre of
Thought, Influence and Power, it will not be able to _manifest_ these
qualities.

MANTRAMS (AFFIRMATIONS) FOR THE FIRST LESSON.

"I" am a Centre. Around me revolves my world.

"I" am a Centre of Influence and Power.

"I" am a Centre of Thought and Consciousness.

"I" am...

Fear is a good thing, it teaches us to look before we leap, among other things.

If I wouldn't feel fear, I wouldn't leap, cause I don't want to do whatever I think is bad for me. I don't think that be free of fear means to be stupid.

[your life]

Hello.

The fear of future makes the people work in their jobs and make the thinks they don't want to do. If they stop to fear then they would stop doing these things and start to do whatever they want to do.

Beautiful world, so utopian that is very difficult to imagine. Maybe it would be better to think about oneself.

Can't you imagine your life without fear? Try it.
Can't you plan your future without fear?
Do you think you would be suicidal or stupid if you were free of fear?

I think fear is not the planning of the future, I think fear is an instant physical reaction.

Show me one fear that is not based on the appearance of discontinuity of something.

Hello !

Darkmor, I'll explain my point:

"Fear generates undesirable thoughts and makes impossible to control and command ourselves.
Fear is the true cause of war and world strifes, it throws man against man.
Fear is our greatest  enemy, to a level that if humanity could destroy fear we would have nothing to fear of."

Hi SS_Patrick, I can't understand why is negative that stuff about "we all are one". I feel like you could be right, but I can't say why. Maybe because that words of we are one, could drive to the destruction of our own ego and this would make sheeps of us?
Anyway, maybe you can have a strong ego, and you can feel like a part of whole universe. We are influencing and being influenced every time.

Thanks every body.

Hi,
thanks ubiquitous. Here is another quote of same author:

Cultivate the feeling of immortality and reality, and you will gradually
begin to realize that you really exist and will always exist, and Fear will
drop from you like a discarded cloak, for Fear is really the thought
weakening the ill-guarded Instinctive Mind - once get rid of Fear, and the rest is easy.
The affirmation or mantram which has
proven of more benefit than any other in these cases is the positive
assertion of "I AM," which expresses a truth and tends to a mental
attitude which is taken up by the Instinctive Mind and renders it more
positive to others, and less liable to be affected by suggestions, etc. The
mental attitude expressed by "I AM" will surround you with a thought
aura, which will act as a shield and a protection, until such time as you
have fully acquired the higher consciousness, which carries with it a
sense of self confidence and assurance of strength.
From this point you will gradually develop into that consciousness which
assures you that when you say "I," you do not speak only of the
individual entity, with all its strength and power, but know that the "I"
has behind it the power and strength of the Spirit, and is connected
with an inexhaustible supply of force, which may be drawn upon when
needed. Such a one can never experience Fear - for he has risen far
above it. Fear is the manifestation of weakness, and so long as we hug it
to us and make a bosom friend of it, we will be open to the influences of
others. But by casting aside Fear we take several steps upward in the scale, and place ourselves in touch with the
strong, helpful, fearless, courageous thought of the world, and leave behind
us all the old weaknesses and troubles of the old life.
When man learns that nothing can really harm him, Fear seems a folly. And
when man awakens to a realization of his real nature and destiny, he knows
that nothing can harm him, and consequently Fear is discarded.
It has been well said, "There is nothing to fear, but Fear," and in this
epigram is concealed a truth which all advanced occultists will recognize.
The abolishing of Fear places in the hands of Man a weapon of defense and
power which renders him almost invincible.Why do you not take this gift
which is so freely offered you? Let your watchwords be: "I AM." "I AM
FEARLESS AND FREE."

Hello,

there is some kind of information, from East old philosophy, but all I got is in Spanish. I think you'll have to look for the "samadhi" book, (IV.65-IV.114):
http://www.abserver.es/yogadarshana/pradipika45.htm

Mazzierose, where does that sound come from?
Here you have an idea (if you can't find the above mentioned book):

The objective is to hear this sound during all the day, so you'll achieve mental stability and happiness.

This sound comes from the center of the body.

Although you hear different sounds, you must direct your attention to the finest ones (highest pitched ?). Through this practice, this sound will be heard above external sounds in 15 days.

(This is a free translation of 3 lines, while there are over 100)

Hi,

air could pass through ears but I think this air flow would never cause a long sound.
I think the liquid in the ears produces pression onto the internal canals to give us equilibrium sensation.

Medicine, seems to me, is not able to explain this sound accurately, I think there is something more. Anyway, it shouldn't be despised.

Leilah, I think you are referring to intracranial sounds, arisen when you get off from your body.

When I get out, my sensation of breathing stops completely, but that is because I'm in the astral body, and there is not necessity for breathing. If you keep on breathing, you can't detach from your human body, you must let it to breath by itself, without your care.

CONTROLLING THE EMOTIONS.
The undesirable emotions, such as Fear, Worry, Anxiety, Hate, Anger, jealousy,
Envy, Melancholy, Excitement, Grief, etc., are amenable to the control of the
Will, and the Will is enabled to operate more easily in such cases if rhythmic
breathing is practiced while the student is "willing."

The following exercise has been found most effective by the Yogi students,
although the advanced Yogi has but little need of it, as he has long since gotten
rid of these undesirable mental qualities by growing spiritually beyond them.
The Yogi student, however, finds the exercise a great help to him while he is
growing.
Breathe rhythmically, concentrating the attention upon the Solar Plexus, and
sending to it the mental command "Get Out." Send the mental command firmly,
just as you begin to exhale, and form the mental picture of the undesirable
emotions being carried away with the exhaled breath. Repeat seven times, and
finish with the Cleansing Breath, and then see how good you feel. The mental
command must be given "in earnest," as trifling will not do the work.

See this book, or some other, to learn what is rhythmic breathing. It's not recommended to experiment by yourself with breathing.

Hello CFT,

the air doesn't pass through the ear canal, unless you breath through your ears :doh:

Anyway, I don't know if you feel this sound, but it's not affected by breathing. If stop breathing, sound doesn't change.

I'm reading now some books of Yogi Ramacharaka, this sound could be connected with raja yoga, and this autor looks like good.

Agur.

Hello,

I think I've reach some temporal hypothesis:

-This sound is influenced by our emotions.

-By concentrating in this sound we reach some degree of mental stability, that allows us to understand better our primitive mind.

Thanks,

I'll try to meditate while I hear this sound.
I'll tell you my experience.

Bye.

Hello,

WeeZard knows.

Hello, here's a little joke:

0=0, (yes, we know that), so:

2 x 0 = 1 x 0, (isn't it?)
(I expect that all we know: 0=1-1) so:

2 x (1-1) = 1 x (1-1), simplifying:

2=1, this is:

1+1 = 1

Saludos.

Hello,

I address to you because I'd like to know  about the parapsychology and paraphysical implications of this disease. (Causes, possible solutions, effects... )

You can be as extensive as you like.

Thanks.

Thank you cainam.

You can be right, that was my third hypothesis, haven't you heared about two others?

See you.

Hello!

I'm working on an hypothesis to be criticized:

(Forgetting causes)
Fear is a reaction done by ourselves, maybe unconsciously.
If we understood that reaction we could neutralize it.
The key to achieve this could be the comprehension of the energetic actions involve in it. If we know what we do energetically we could stop it. Through energy knowledge we could handle our unconscious actions.

Do you think this could be possible?

I keep up.
See you!.
