it's not really research when you hear a couple of old stories about that kind of stuff. actually, the one(s, i've heard a few versions) about the kid lifting a car is almost more like a folktale by now.

and as for what shen energy is: please refer to the links i provided on page three

goto a park, and do lots of drawing and cleansing of energy (ie, draw in some good energy, find some bad energy in your body, release the bad energy and use the good energy to fill the "gap". rinse and repeat []). when you run out of bad energy to expel, draw in some more good energy. this helps with both learning energy manipulation and keeping a good supply of energy handy.

and remember, just cause you cleanse the body once doesn't mean it will be cleansed forever more. depending on how good or bad of a day you have, you might have to do either little or lots of cleansing

thing: yes. but on the arena.webchat.org server (or maybe just any webchat.org server) is where the astralpulse chat is located. it's like meeting at starbucks: you have to know which city everyone is meeting in, and even usually which area of the city, before you can all meet together in one place [].

~kakkarot

it's debatable, but why not ask God? i'm sure He can tell you whether He is accepting of it or not []

~kakkarot

well, you could try the chat located on arena.webchat.org in room #AstralChat [].

i'm gonna try to be on there for as long as i can so that others who stumble in won't find it so empty anymore ^_^ . although, i'm only human and so i can't be in there 24/7 []

~kakkarot

congradulations on your cleansing via the fasting []

but i would suggest that you wait a while before attempting another fast. (just my suggestion and not it won't neccessarily be shared by others).

good luck with it when you do it though []

~kakkarot

arena.webchat.org is the server
#AstralChat is the room
i just finished going on and there was noone there, but that's the only time i've been on and i was only on for a minute or two, so i may have just gotten there at a bad time ^_^

~kakkarot

yes, that would be nice nita. thank you

if i can be there at that time, i'll try to show up for it ^_^

~kakkarot

just so you know, not all mineral water is as good for you as the manufacturers claim (i've even heard that some are somewhat bad to drink, not like deadly, but which give the body things it definatly doesn't need). try switching to purified water or even just tap water for a few days and see if the results change.

also, in case your psychic is right, try finding a ritual called the "Lower Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram", or lbrp for short, on the net and try using that. it might help (however, even if your problem is an entity, the lbrp does not always help, so you might need something stronger, but try the lbrp first)

good luck trying to figure this out []

my point was that your eyes are very photosensitive but when they are closed they seem to be even more sensitive to ambient light differences eventhough it may not seem so.

you are correct: no i was not talking about lightningstorms at all, but the principle still applies is what i'm saying. however, if you think that your experience was metaphysical and that the principle does not apply, then just say so and disregard my post [].

as well, if you feel bad about replying three times, then just use the edit button

~kakkarot

odd. sounds like something i've been through twice now, where the mind just changes; like the mental processes process by a different method all of a sudden. is that what you are talking about?

~kakkarot

or rather than going through a hole, fold space over upon itself so that where you are is also where you want to go, and then unfold them so that you are where you want to go.

no i don't teleport, but it's another idea to throw in the mix ^_^

~kakkarot

thanks for the information, gandalf [].

(i get the feeling that someone might start bickering about how there are many ways to create such a thing, and while it is true that there are other ways, i really hope nobody whines about it since douglas has been good to us by posting a method but didn't say it's the only one ^_^. once again, thank you douglas [])

~kakkarot

the eyes are highly photosensitive, and i can't yet explain it but there's something that changes in the mind when the eyes are closed as opposed to when they are open, regardless of the presence of light, which seems to allow me (while eyes are closed) to percieve even minute changes in the ambient light in my surrounding environment.

for instance, just last night as i was heading to bed after turning off my computer (and it's normally pitch black as i sleep in the basement), i closed my eyes and tried to see my way to my room without using my physical sight (which would have been useless anyways as it was "pitchblack" ^_^). interestingly enough, when i came upon the short "hallway" that occurs just before my bedroom, my vision seemed to get darker... which was strange to say the least since even with my eyes open i could percieve no difference between that area and the rest of the basement. i turned my head a few times with eyes closed to check it out some more, and even moved over to about where there is another doorway and once again i could percieve a change while my eyes were closed but not while they were open.

something in my mind told me that it was a physical effect and not a metaphysical thing, so i opened my eyes and looked around the basement again, and sure enough my brother's monitor was turned on: though he normally turns it off, as do i with mine, which is why i at first took for granted that there was "no" light down there when i had looked around the first time. i guess my eyes just needed time to adjust to the darkness before i could see the faint light the monitor was giving off. and yet, even before my eyes adjusted while open, i could distinguish the patches of darker darkness while my eyes were closed.

truly a strange thing ^_^

just so everyone knows, and i'm sure some do know, crissangel is a "trick magician" according to the website (ie, he uses tricks to pull his stuff off). however, whether the website is telling the truth or is lieing in order to get people to accept him is up to you to decide.

i've seen some trick magicians do some pretty amazing things myself, and i couldn't figure out how they did them until the trick was explained, so it could just be that crissangel is really frikken good at that. but it could also be that he's using actual "super"natural abilities.

Do you honestly believe that such a perfectly well designed Universe would allow a young child in physical form to wander lonely and sad? and yet it happens every day.

the universe has bad aspects to it as well as good aspects. things don't just get all perfect and good and holy once the physical form is left behind. the physical is just one aspect of a much greater reality, a reality where both joy and sorrow exist.

~kakkarot

maybe the dragons are in demon form, and are fooling everyone into thinking there are demons. and maybe humans are just humans....

~kakkarot

lol, i like your post volcomestone [)]

HAHAHAHA Shaman just got burnt

we all get burnt at one time or another. it teaches humility, a good thing for people who seek the truth to have [].

of course some of us (aka me) get burnt a whole lot cause we're stupid and need to learn the long and hard way [|)], but better to be burnt and learn to be humble than to never be burnt and so be arrogant instead [].

~kakkarot

my suggestion is this: don't feel pressed for time. you have decades to learn stuff in, life is not short []. so take a deep breath, relax, let out any anxiety you feel over this.

also, question everything for the purpose of finding truth, and remember that not knowing something is perfectly ok (eventhough society seems to have a problem with it ^_^).

so do not worry, for who can add even a single hour to their life by worrying? ^_^ but do think []

~kakkarot

i think he was saying "don't just blindly trust anybody, whether it be seth, mustardseed, me, you, robert, or anyone else." take good advice as good (plausible or possible), but don't trust it as truth until you can confirm it ^_^

~kakkarot

uh shaman, in case you didn't notice, the thread in the astral chat subforums is a DIFFERENT thread than mustardseed's channeling thread.

yes the "vision" of robert bruce was a joke, but where the heck are you getting that his channeling thread is a joke? are you just unable to understand that one can post a joke in one thread and be serious in another?

*bump* (hehe, just kidding. i'm actually posting stuff too )

as a movie: pretty good. but there were definate downfalls, like the times when it cut from a nice screen to what almost looked like it was stock footage from 20 years ago, and how it hammed up the emotional aspect (almost /trying/ to force viewers to put their heart into it).

as well, each group of people had an attitude which was pretty much bang on with what you'd think they'd be: the pharisees being (i don't know if there really is a good word to sum them up, so i'll just go with) dumb, the jews who hated jesus REALLY hating him, the jews who loved him caring about him, the romans being the meanies (that's probably the cleanest of the words which could describe them accurately) that they are.

but it seemed the attitudes of the individuals of the movie (mary, peter, the first govenor that jesus was taken to whose name i can't remember ^_^;, etc) needed some more refining and more "honest" emotion to them rather than emotion thats just there to show that the emotion is being conveyed (ie, all the one-tears that people shed :/ ).


as for biblical accuracy: unless they were using a version of the bible which i've never seen (which is very possible), they took *great* liberties at many points, and blatantly contradicted the bible at a couple. (no i can't list them all, i've only seen the movie once and i didn't take pen and paper with me )

and what the heck was up with the portrayal of satan? oi vey.


as for historical accuracy: romans' torture, i think was a bit overdone from what would have really been done in those days. of course, the romans WERE incredibly vicious and they likely would have beaten jesus to a bloody pulp, but i'm pretty sure it was still exaggerated a little bit extra to (as said earlier) try and "force" people to care.

but the manner of dress and general mindsets and whatnot seemed pretty much like i'd expected (though of course, just because i expected it, that doesn't mean it's true ^_^).


for plot: arr, the flashbacks totally detracted from the movie, but also it seems like pretty much the only way the director could have added them in without people wondering something like "well, why add this part of the bible and not that part?", so it's forgiveable . and i guess it was also a good idea to end the movie right where they did too (well, except for the satan thing) cause after that the bible doesn't really make it seem like jesus is extraordinarily passionate but that he's just loving and caring and basically doing what he did before (but this time with no cross ordeals in his future hanging over his head ).

but once again, some parts of the plot seemed made up, or hammed up at least, just for the purpose of trying to get people to care. of course, much of the movie seemed bang on with what you'd expect to have happened, so it's not like it was ALL hammed or made up.



all in all: pretty good movie. i'm still not sure if i'd ever care to go see it again, so it's not an absolutely awesome movie imo, but i certainly don't feel like i was ripped off or anything .

and that's my opinion of the Passion of the Christ.

~kakkarot

is it just me, or can mankind just not say "i don't know" about things they don't know about?
