Book Ref: The Secret Life of Plants

I have the harvard edition of this text. Where are you getting your information from?

It's the dan tien once the primary yin and yang essense of the practiioner has completed it's cycle and returned as chi to the dan tien, thus the "golden couldron" also represents a state of transformation from initate to adept in the chinese taoist systems.

If your interested in internal alchemy you would be wise to look at the imagery associated with the western alchemical practices. You may find some interesting associations with fire and "steam".

Kind Regards in your Search

Duh. Read about Tantra, and it's purely spiritual counterparts of auric union.

Vampirism will addict the practitioner to the energies of weak people, and thus resonate your psychology with those people, weakening yourself. You should develop your own ability to transmute energy from your natural environment. Air, food and water and energy thru any practice you pursue, including art. Drawing energy from other people is stealing.

Wait until you suck on a person who's got some negs attatched to them and you get a little chakra owie. Yeah it's as easy as taking a breath right? Wait and see how dependant you become on "weak" people. Predator.

one who reorganized space to embody it's natural order is a seeker indeed. Follow your instinct, be as creative as you want to be.

Ultimately you may want to look at your living space in light of your new awareness of energy as vortexes or wells of real energy directed by geometric space.

pharmakeia

as above so below

order and dischord

motion and stillness

music as the space between silence

listening to the spell we cast around us through the habits of self wakes up a soul to cast aside the useless and embrace the sacred.

geometric habits even stretch to effect the ergonomics of our big fat american asses habits in front of the computer. Although the effects of geometric principles in operating systems and the 60hz frequency of our "grid" is another thread altogether.

Resistance to geometry is the power to REORGANIZE it. Beauty is in the individuals power to find the Golden Mean in their life. (zen gardens, sacred geometry, etc)

"There will be a physical Mark, the mental worship of the image of the Beast, and a Mark in the form of Illumination. Those are three Initiations. The last one arouses a serpent force which marks the forehead. "

Can you expound on the latter two of the three levels of lucifearian initiation you reference?

I'm interested particularly in what you define as the mental worship of the image of the beast. And of coarse what your definition of "worship" is, curious if you consider watching TV worship, as it's brainwave entrainment, and indeed an "image". Can you be more specific in describing your particular iconography of choice?

pharmakeia

be responsible and love people. havn't you learned your lesson by now?

pharmakeia

Maybe you should have taken the "blue" pill.

All the things you mention are aspects of peripheral awareness that encompass a wide spectrum of energetic dimensions that we co-inhabit.

All the phenomenon you mentioned is well documented. Awareness without transformation is not growth. See if your new found awareness effects any of your relationships in your life.

There are some interesting comparisons of disciplines and discussions on core human attributes in Michael Murphy's book : The Future of the Body: Explorations into the Further Evolution of Human Nature


I found this thread very iinteresting.

pharmakeia

all this talk of "completing the circuit" without any connection to the breath that it's connected to? What does touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth have to do with an inhale? What's the connection?

pharmakeia

as your awareness of energy is developed, so will your realizations of where you naturally draw it from. You may be surprised.

pharmakeia

nicely done.

ps- For those interested in geometry, here is the sum of Bob Frissels progression of logic to the metatrons cube through the flower of life and extractions of the platonic solids:

There are also a few of my own notes and projects scattered in there as well. I was also cross applying metatron geometry to cabalistic trees at the time, so if you see some side sketches, don't mind my doodles.

Get yourself a compass, a pencil and a rular and a notebook. Your going to start doing mandala meditations, or self made point staring.

Get a book called "A Beginner's Guide To Constructing The Universe: The Mathematical Archetypes Of Nature, Art and Science" by Michael S. Schneider, M. Ed

Go through his exercises using a basic compass and rule to construct the same sacred geometry that is found in Bob Frissels book. The time you spend is very similar to a meditation, and you will find that the geometric lessons you learn translate over into real life. One thing I found after doing mandala meditations with my own work is is that the mind starts super imposing the impressions of your work on other lines and angles you see in your field awarness. (which is hundreds of times more sensitive then your central point of focus)

You don't need to memorize all the angles of every polygon to realize the manifest mercaba in various forms around us, but time spent under the right learning conditions impress the geometry of the sacred on the mind through the primary forms of logic available to the human.

Here is an example of a personal manadala:

Read "The Natural Mind" by Andrel Weil - he is a well known author. He states that we can learn to mimic vibrational awareness caused by our environment enterour our body and us relating and learning from it. He considers all of nature as a teacher.

Face it. Addiction is a portal negatives use to gain access to precious human soul energy, but the exploration of consiousness thru the known medicines and poisons of mankind is a space of both shamistic and puritine debacle.

pharmakeia

Research the use of Koans in the Zen tradition. Inspiration is the interuption and reorganization of habit. What is the ultimate realization really like? What is the word? Speak it!

heh

Pod you have set us up the bomb

There are also 3 aspects to the internal cosmology of chinese internal arts that should be expressed to support the nature of chi it's proper context.

Jing

Mantak Chia sleeps in short cat naps only now.

A very fresh breath of air. Thank you Pod. May I ask your cosmological perspective on those who claim the human race was corrupted by serpent blood and the Jesus represents the Way to our Source? Your prose impresses upon me images of dissapointed searches, yet with a reference to cosmic allignments, hints at pilgrimage to the various "power spots" on earth. What's your thoughts?

That some respect the proprietary nature of their schools tells me they are not accredited to teach it.

I'm not sure of the need for many who call themselves gurus, anyway.  Don't so many proclaim their art a science, which will work by law on anyone who practices their methods, no matter who?!

They string initiates along for money to fund great auditoriums when  a laying-on-of-hands style of shaktipat administered from a nude hermit could be enough.  Likely, this touch could be transmitted through any one of an organizational flyer or from any number of cosmic, magnetic or electrical points, without so much as the need for the flyer.

I have read in depth but find most writings to be irrelevant to the process of progression. After some attainment, you will find an expensive library of publications speaking symbolically, only.  Through false interest, some  of the otherwise useless stuff leaks to those who cannot even regurgitate it properly. Similar to pop TV characters trying to blend in with society and not getting the gist of the slang, wannabe mystics stick out like a sore thumb.

All physical exercizes for attaining self/god-realization, are symbolic. It is my belief that self-realization is the purpose of all yogas, and people perform them for years "improperly" without realizing what the point is. Only after thay can have clear thoughts of their spritual purpose, they realize what was being hinted at the whole time.

Otherwise, it is for the fact that the exercizes are attributed to a particular egregore or deity that performing a physical action will trigger chakral developement. Basically, the stored thought energy is programmed to be released to the speaking of a codeword or practice of a secret ritual.

The issue with a complete kundalini release is that it spells death to the human Ego. The fullest release of the pent up energy WILL BE stronger than the personality of the person who releasing it. This why you have to be ready to die.

Some theosophical organizations credit supernormal abilities to people who, through suicidal tendencies, automatically gave up their bodies to lesser Astral demons. These contractual tricks, which you are nonetheless accountable for, are the purpose for all the blind,  initiatory levels.

In the case that people could attain the Spiritual Mark of God (not Astral) through the Baptism by Fire, it would spell death to the sinful nature of their humanity. Ego death, again.

An exercize meant to take advantage of certain astrological alignments has been prepared for throughout history. Energy released upon those dates will allow people to mark themselves as kundaletic adepts as soon as they physically choose to do so. They, too, will think they are recieving the mark of God, and they will live in an earthly paradise for a season.

red "blotchiness" of the palms and bottoms of feet is normal while doing energy work. Sometimes this blotchiness with actually be morphing right before your eyes. That's ok. I've never heard of any actually physical "rashes"... generally you want your skin condition to improve with any energy work. Unless it's a trauma surfacing. You may want to ask your mom if you had any rashes or reactions to medicines early on in life. You may find interesting information.

You may want to consult a qualified accupuncturist and have them feel your "pulses". It may be a sign of a meridian imbalance that is surfacing through the energy work. Which don't stress about, the accupuncturist should be able to balance no problem, and it's good to get things to come out to the surface so you can get them delt with.

Often times those aware of alternative realities seek to escape via the use of drugs and alchole. What's interesting is that although temporary relief from interdimensional awareness may occur, the condition that the mind/body relationship is left in once the binge cycle has occured, leaves the practiioner worse off then when they started.

You should research the clensing practices of various spiritual disciplines in various cultures and you'll see the importance of more natural cycles of spiritual health. There are many amplified cycles of addiction and disorder of human attributes today.

I would recommend taking 2 weeks off work, working with someone on a clensing fast... that means total clensing, taper off to at least an "eden diet", no tv, no media, no images in your face other then natural. As much time in the great outdoors as much as possible to "reconnect".

We live in a land full of lines we know not where they lead. Our path rampantly jumping to and fro in front of feet pressed to step ahead. But if it's one thing I have learned about the step... it's that you must push off from where you rest, you must relax into where you are going.

You would be good to research what Feldenkrais, Rosen, Alexander, and any number of other western researchers and PIONEERS in the western somatic sciences / bodywork. They all spoke of abdominal tension in response to internal and external "stresses" of the psychosomatic type.

The the exploration of range of movement of body, breath, and awareness unify in the "center" of the body which is it's center of gravity, and our breath and nervous function also have a mysterious relationship with the "center" or "postural carriage".

That the mind and body are a two way window is common knowledge among those training in body work, many styles of martial art, and many types of natural medicine.

Abdominal awareness in breathing has been stressed over and over again to the western seekers. Yet many fail to see the connection between breath, pelvic postural health and the WHOLE persons ability to relate to any spectrum of human experience. The idea that there is but one mind-body connection would mean that we are responsible for our meditations.

Many people would rather not face that type of instant karma. If your really looking to "develope" the ability to OOBE, research DMT, and talk to me after your see the elves. Responsibility is expecting the energy you send out to boomerang. Geomancy is the ability to recognize convergenzes and to send the approapriately timed signal back to the homeland.

pharmakeia

try using your energy for something like standing the universal post for an hour. It's funny what "hugging a tree" does to your energy body. Soon you'll be aware of all sorts of leaks in the somatic space of mind-body.

Internalizing chakra awareness and playing with their frequency rate without alligning your spiritual training with a physical resonation might cause some psycho-physiological distubances or "chi / kundalini sickness". Be forewarned, your vices are your enemies. The unification process of mind/body practices involve fusing the subconsious with the conscious. Thus the properly nutured naturally dissolve into their surroundings, but the traumatized individual meets schizofrenia as the ego shatters. Splinters of personality survive to protect, but the natural course, is of course to lose ourselves by finding out who we really are!

pharmakeia

The silent science of soul science seeks the finest points in which to pluralize the sacred solo ambiance into the multiplicity of resonance.

That might be your personals ad?

Whats your interests in natural geomantic relationships of landscape to earth energies like? Have you noticed an increase in types around elemental convergences?

pharmakeia

You should study an internal style like tai chi (at least 4-5 main styles) ba gua, xing yi, or a japanese variant such as Aikido or Tai Ki Ken. Some kendo schools also teach the internal side of kendo, and you get cool armour too!

With any chinese art you research, if your interested in energy body development, which includes a natural awareness increase to breath and internal processes, you should always ask if the instructor teaches the health side of the art. Most internal chinese stylists know at least SOME of what is called chi gung. This may be as basic as combining your breath with the martial movements of the forms, or may be as complex as using certain sounds to vibrate different locations inside your torso (healing sounds) etc. There are MANY different teachers in the wonderful, but I admit wacky at times, world of martial art. For every legit practioner there are 10 frauds who simply want you to bow and pay your dues, and you never learn anything about how to figure the truth out for yourself. Just do the form, pay the dues.

One form of internal chinese are that I enjoy because of the focus is so heavily on the development of the individual thru devoted practice is Yi Quan. An internal style written on in "warriors of stillness" a book on the medtative pratices of the chinese martial traditions.

Anyways, I hope your search goes well. When the student is ready the teacher will appear.
