I agree that a lot of his magic are tricks, but he seems to have unusual abilities.  One of just many examples this ...  A TV host calls David on the phone.  David asks her to choose any card from a deck of cards.  David successfully tells the lady what card she picked.

fallnangel77,
There is one of David's levitations on his DVD (with the 3 white girls) where the camera guy filmed it close to the ground.  You can clearly see underneath both of David's shoes including the shoe shadows.  That particular levitation generated a lot of controversy amongst the magic community.  Some even acuse David of embedding magnets in the ground and in his shoes to explain that one.

Whosoever clings to his life shall lose it.  Whosoever loses his life shall save it.

Robert Bruce describes kundalini as an event that lasts 5-30 minutes, while many websites describe it as taking a lifetime to rise. Could someone please clarify?

Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj wrote, "It is easy to awaken the Kundalini, but it is very difficult to take it to Sahasrara Chakra [7th] through the different Chakras. It demands a great deal of patience, perseverance, purity and steady practice. The Yogi who has taken it to Sahasrara Chakra [7th], is the real master of all forces. Generally Yogic students stop their Sadhana halfway on account of false Tushti (satisfaction). They imagine that they have reached the goal when they get some mystic experiences and psychic powers. They desire to demonstrate such powers to the public to get Khyati (reputation and fame) and to earn some money. This is a sad mistake. Full realization alone can give the final liberation, perfect peace and Highest Bliss."

If kundalini rises, should we be afraid of it?

I'm not trying to scare anyone, but would rather people be prepared and know what they're getting into before attempting to raise Kundalini.

As far as I'm aware, all the true Yogi master say time after time again that before attempting to raise Kundalini you better be of purity.  Purity of body, emotions, mind, intellect, and the Nadis (astral tubes that carry prana).  This pertains to your entire life at all times 24/7, 365 days per year.  If you get angry even once a week then you're asking for trouble.

A Yogi master can tell you if you're of the type that should attempt Kundalini.  Just know that you're playing with fire, literally.  I know that's an answer most young people do not want to hear.  Sorry,  Of course, most people who try to raise the Kundalini never succeed.

Before attempting to raise the Kundalini via Pranayama (breathing exercises), Mudras & Bandhas (postures), meditations, Mantras, etc. you should first cleans the physical body and the Nadis.  Nadis are astral tubes that carry prana.  

Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj writes,

"The Yogi, who has got a pure heart and a mind free from passions and desires will be benefited by awakening Kundalini."

"It is easy to awaken the Kundalini, but it is very difficult to take it to Sahasrara Chakra [7th] through the different Chakras. It demands a great deal of patience, perseverance, purity and steady practice. The Yogi who has taken it to Sahasrara Chakra [7th], is the real master of all forces. Generally Yogic students stop their Sadhana halfway on account of false Tushti (satisfaction). They imagine that they have reached the goal when they get some mystic experiences and psychic powers. They desire to demonstrate such powers to the public to get Khyati (reputation and fame) and to earn some money. This is a sad mistake. Full realization alone can give the final liberation, perfect peace and Highest Bliss."

"Before awakening the Kundalini, you must have Deha Suddhi (purity of body), Nadi Suddhi (purification of Nadis), Manas-Suddhi (purity of mind) and Buddhi Suddhi (purity of intellect)."

"Little things upset their minds. Those who have not observed the vow of celibacy become the slaves of anger, jealousy, laziness and fear. If you have not got your senses under control, you venture to do foolish acts which even children will not dare to do."

Check this link out and see if it is what you are looking for.  This man has been in contact with a group of psychic children.  I have been getting emails from him for several months, and apparently these children are trying to "save the world" or something like that.  His messages are very interesting.
Hope this helps........

pray for peace.

I absolutely loved that book!  I recommend it to anyone.  According to the author, it's a true story of his life as he searched for these extremely gifted children all over the world.  These children telepathically communicate with each other around the world.

Dear ASMRfruit,

Not that I have any proof for you, but the teachings I follow are such:

Unless a man is born again he will surely die.  Hold on ... that's not what is sounds like.

From my personal experience I know that each person is a multi dimensional being.  Each being is composed of the Lower Self, Higher Self, and Divine Self.

Unless you are born again you are basically the Lower Self, or what is called a "Personality."  I use the word born again loosely, but basically my definition of born again is when the Lower Self and Higher Self reach union or fusion.

The Lower Self as you may know is composed of a Dense body, an Etheric / Vital body, and an Astral / Desire body.  The Dense and Etheric / Vital body are the Physical body.  The Concrete Mind is between the Astral world and the Higher Self.  It is the link.

When a born again person dies physically then that will be the last time they need to reincarnate.  They are forever liberated from the physical world.  I call such a liberated person a 3rd degree Initiate.  Such a liberated person may, if they wish, reincarnate again to help this world.  When an Adept reincarnates this is very rare and such people are known as Avatars.  Jesus and Buddha were Avatars.  An Adept is when the Higher Self and Divine Self reach union or fusion.

Let's take an example of an unborn again person. Let's say a person was born in the year 1000.  In the year 1075 their Physical body dies.  In the year 1150 their Astral body dies.  In the year 1300 their Concrete Mind dies.  For all intents and purposes that person or personality is dead.  The need of experience and Soul growth draws the Higher Self to rebirth.  From there the birth process starts over.  The Higher Self gathers material for a new Mind, then for a new Astral / Desire body, and then for a new Etheric / Vital body.

The question to be asked is this.  Is the newly created personality exactly the same as the one that was born over 300 years ago?

Thanks for the info cube.  Very nice!  I'm still reading that thread.  I wrote the alarm program years ago and uploaded it on astral pulse, but just recently noticed the file section is gone on astral pulse.

I think your OBE method is first class superb.  Perhaps your method and my obe alarm could benefit each other.  Your method is used at night and mine is used during the day.  Although the obe alarm was designed to improve self awareness.  So it's not a get quick obe results.

AntiGravity, I like cubes methods.  Have you tried it before?

Dear AntiGravity,

It's a very tiny program and consumes hardly any resources.  The program only beeps and/or pops up a reminder window but the effects reach far beyond that.  It improves awareness by reminding you to do reality checks.  By strengthening awareness you improve your spiritual life and increase your chances of having an OBE.

The program will eventually become useless once you build up your awareness.  It is not a get quick OBE results as I am not a believer in such.


Here's a copy of the introduction within the program:
+++++++++++
What does it do?
This program operates on a Reality Check principle.  In other words, it reminds you to do a Reality Check through out the day while you are on your computer.  For example, lets say every 22 minutes through out your waking day you ask yourself, "Am I out of the body?"  After doing this repetitive Reality Check for months you will eventually ask yourself this question while out of the body.  There will be a good chance that you will become conscious while out of the body when you do a Reality Check.

What is the Reality Check?
The Reality Check is more than just asking, "Am I out of the body?"  Here is the Reality Check:
1. Ask yourself, "Am I out of the body?"
2. Focus on yourself.  Become coherent, conscious, alert, but remain calm.
3. Recall the past 15 minutes or so.  Quickly glance back upon the last few hours.  Were you doing anything unusual such as float, fly, act unusual, etc.
4. Perform an OBE test.  I would do one of the following OBE tests.  Option A: try to push your thumb threw an object.  If you're at your desk, then try to push your thumb through the desk or perhaps your chair.  Please note that even if you're out of body there's a chance that your thumb will not go through an object that easily.  In other words, you very well may need to apply a lot of pressure.  The reason for this depends upon the vibratory rate that your Astral or Etheric body is in relative to the nearest world you are in.  The Etheric body is far denser than the Astral body.  So generally speaking the Etheric body requires more force to snap a thumb through an object than the Astral body.  Also as mentioned, it depends how close your body's vibrator rate is relative to the plane you are in.  Example, if your Astral body is at a vibratory rate of 18 units and the plane you are on is at a rate of 17 units then it will be easier to snap your thumb through an object as compared to if your vibratory rate was 17 units on the same plane. OK, now if your thumb snaps through the object then you know you're out of the physical body.  Option B: jump up into the air.  If you float down like a balloon then you're out of body.

How long does it take to work?
This is difficult to answer. This computer program will increase your chances of having an OBE, but you still need to do your usual OBE exercises as prescribed in your OBE book. I recommend "Astral Dynamics" or "Mastering Astral Projection" by Robert Bruce. He has some nice OBE exercises such as the rope technique. Generally speaking people who put forth 110% effort can expect to have an OBE within a month.  Although I've found that people are so different and unique from each other that the generally expected time is fairly meaningless.

Important tips to having an OBE:
* Have a strong intense desire or will to have an OBE.
* The more time you spend reading and thinking about OBE's during the day, especially before going to bed at night, helps a lot.
* Every time you wake up you should remain still and calm. Try to recall all of your dreams.  Go over the experiences in your mind.  Over time you'll begin to recall more experiences.  This is not to suggest that dreams are OBE's.  By my definition, an OBE is when you're completely awake and conscious, just like you are now, while out of body.
* I highly recommend that everyday you perform visualization exercises.  Visualization exercises build up the 3rd eye chakra, located between your eyebrows.  Also, as strange as this may sound to some people, I highly recommend exercising the love / heart chakra.  This is exercised by being of service to others, having great compassion and love for all things.  You may feel a nice warmth in the chest area when you truly use the heart chakra.  A perfect balance of both activated chakras leads to Continuity Of Consciousness (never ending 24/7 consciousness) and something wonderful happens! See the following diagram: http://www.rosicrucian.com/images/rccen017.gif
* Waking up after half your sleep period and doing your OBE exercises and/or reading an OBE book for an hour or two will make a huge different.  If you sleep for 8 hours a day and go to bed at 10pm then you would wake up at 2am (10pm + 4 hours).
* Just before going to bed you should say something like, "I will remember, I will remember, I will remember."
* Find a good OBE book like "Astral Dynamics" or "Mastering Astral Projection" by Robert Bruce and follow the directions.

How to use this computer program?
If you're near a computer, then simply run this program. By default the program will alert you every 22 minutes.  You can change this to what ever you wish. I personally preferred 11 minutes.  By default the program will beep and popup a window to alert you every 22 minutes. If you're at work and do not want any sound, then uncheck the Beep. When you're ready, click the start button.

My thoughts on OBE exercises:
I was fortunate in that my initial OBE's came on their own accord. During my college years I woke up from a nap at home to find myself flying out of my body.  This happened numerous times, but I thought I was dying.  Out of fear I willed them to stop.  One day I learned they were OBE's, a good thing.  So I read some books, practiced the techniques and in one week I had a full-blown OBE.  Since that time I've been out of body a lot and have my 100% personal proof that I was truly out of the body and that OBE's are real.  Over time I learned about OBE's and what worked for me.  I have some fairly firm beliefs what will cause OBE's, but I no longer advocate the get quick OBE exercises.  I am now a firm believer that the best way to have OBE's is to let them occur naturally by building up / exercising the lower self; i.e., the Physical body, Vital / Etheric body, Astral / Desire body, and the Mental unit.  It's the slow path but IMHO the best path.  When the lower self is in tiptop fit shape then you'll have continuous never ending consciousness!  That is, when you go to bed at night, you will not go to sleep but rather you will merely slip out of the body fully conscious and from there you will have access to every place on this planet, other planets, and the heavens and beyond.  You will have the ability to leave the physical at will in the blink of an eye.  Physical pain will never hold you hostage again.  While out of body you will meet beautiful Angles, Teachers and your loved ones.  You will have playtime, but you will also have the privilege of working with these wonderful beings to help the world.


Peace,
Paul L.

[OBE Alarm]

Hi,

I wrote a tiny windows application called the OBE Alarm, now on version 1.1.  It's an OBE aid and has an interesting introduction.

I use an updated AntiVirus and spyware scanner on my computer so it's virus free.

Quote from the book "The Rosicrucian Philosophy In Questions and Answers Volume I"

Definitions:
Desire body = Astral body

==================
DOES THE SPIRIT ENTER THE BODY AT THE TIME OF CONCEPTION OR AT THE TIME OF BIRTH?

ANSWER: It has been ascertained by clairvoyant investigation that at the time of death the spirit takes with it the forces of one little atom located in the left ventricle of the heart, which is called the seed atom, for its the nucleus or seed around which all the material in the body gathers, and every atom on the body must be capable of vibrating in unison with that seek atom. Therefore, that atom is deposited in the semen of the father some time previous to conception, and later placed in the womb of the mother. But conception is not at all identical with the time of sexual union of the parents. The impregnated spermatozoa is sometimes not imbedded in the ovum until fourteen days after the union of the parents. It is this impregnation of the ovum that may be called the time of conception, for from the moment when the impregnated ovum leaves the Fallopian tube the period of gestation commences. During the first eighteen to twenty-one days, all the work is done by the mother, but at that time the reincarnating Ego, clothed in a bell-shaped cloud of desire and mind stuff, enters the womb of the mother and the bell-shaped cloud closes at the bottom so that it is then ovoid, or egg-shaped . Then the spirit is definitely enmeshed in the flesh and cannot escape any more, but must stay with the mother until liberated by birth. In the present stage of our unfoldment, the spirit does very little CONSCIOUS work upon its coming vehicle, but it is present all the time and helps UNCONSCIOUSLY in the task of providing its instrument. This is not more remarkable than that we are able to digest our food and work our respiratory organs without being conscious of the process.
==================

Peace & Love,
Paul
