I'm finding now that I "sense" too much when I do full chakra work in the evening. I become paranoid and "feel" things, unpleasantish tingles and a sense that maybe there is things/people around me like spirits.

In other posts I've complained somewhat that I am psychically blind etc no matter what I've tried so far. Now I find I'm still pretty blindish-I don't get super dreams and experiences etc, in fact I can only do the energy work but I do feel the chakras strongly when I work on them. Last session however I found I was getting almost imposed random images that started to bug me, and I had to quit the session. Normally I'm fairly practical, as in I grab something and do it. I don't go in for anything "ethereal" because it's not real to me, but this is a new sensation.
Am I creating these sensations or is this something real? If it is, is the road to becoming psychically aware one fraught with paranoid type experiences etc before getting to the "cool" stuff? If so whilst alone I don't think I can be doing it! (It's different when my partner is here however!)
#252
ah, ok that explains something better suited to another thread :-)
#253
Will it work? :-). I've never gone for the specific mantra thing myself much, though I know vibration can be used to aid with energy raising for sure.

:-) CaCoDeMoN, what you say about Thoth, is that certain? If so what would that mean? I don't much about Thoth, though I appear that psychically "blind" I probably wouldn't notice!

Welcome to Astral Chat! / New Year Quitters

I was very lucky 2 yrs ago. Something my partner said made me want to prove him so wrong for a start. I quit cigarettes cold turkey, I knew I'd feel ill and decided to experience and accept that-but not repeat. I was-tonsilitis. :-).

Weed became a 1 a month with herbal mixture-no tobacco, then 1 every two months..then I lost interest. The nicotine was the addictive here :-)

I don't feel anything if I don't put a reasonable degree of mental effort in personally.
#256
In other words, churches, who needs them? :-)
#257
The celestine prophecy points out the competition for energy and tries to suggest a way out of that loop and to connect to universal energy instead, reducing and stopping in the end any kind of co-dependence effect in relationships.

Welcome to Astral Chat! / What should I read first?
January 17, 2005, 19:29:37
Try the NEW energy ways tutorial first :-). Then if that works well for you (it does for most with a little application) then buy/borrow Astral Dynamics :-)
#259
This is something I cannot do. Have a fixed routine for meditation/energy work. However I've always thought that there is merit to being able to stop and meditate anywhere and in nearly any situation as long as your attention isn't required. As a way to build up your abilities of concentration as it were.

There and then I've always been the type who cannot settle into full daily routines, so my energy work happens at any time of day, and meditation attempts again at any time, or several times.
This may be personal, you may need the benefits of subconscious triggers that strict(ish) daily routines give you. I prefer to train mental flexibility, a take anywhere do anytime approach. Saves me being dependent on time and place :-) Just an alternative though. Redcatherine is far far more experienced in actual psychic ability developement etc, I just move energy around some right now.
I can't do cross legged or lotus for long either, I've quit on those postures. I don't know how people do it for hours, but I don't believe that cutting/slowing down blood supply to the legs is a good idea in the long run. Perhaps someone with more experience can tell me how this is gotten around because I haven't found it yet. I don't believe you can get conditioned to this problem either. :-).
#261
one question mickeydeez :-)

why do you like to eat at mac donalds?
As there is a whole essay of rant in potential if I go any further I wont :-). I'm curious however!

I wouldn't be too quick to seperate us from animals in terms of spirit. You only have to spend time with some animals when working with healing and other spiritual work to know that they are perhaps in some ways more spiritual than we are. Though I don't assume that you think they are not of course :-)

Welcome to Astral Chat! / Time perception
January 17, 2005, 10:56:10
I'd like to figure out how to alter my conscious perception of time. But that is because I've seen the matrix too many times probably along with one or two other films where time gets "stopped". Still an interesting concept.

You as a whole are always going to be the harshest judge and jury of all. There are no external outer planet/plane judges out there-not universal ones, unless you count your higher self (if that's your belief) as such.
Suicide is considered a sin against yourself in many traditions and a sin in general in others. I personally feel that the reason behind your suicide dictates how you finally judge yourself for that action.

QuoteWhat I described is an unknown effect that will allow energy to be extracted from the heat within matter.
Just to answer this quickly as I'm tired right now. You asked what I by catchall, the section I quote is what I felt is catchall. An unknown effect in a piece of predictive writing is what I might personally refer to as a catchall statement.
100% efficiency in energy and heat transfer would be a fantastic discovery :-). I won't type or read any more right now, way too tired to make any kind of worthwhile sense. :-)

QuoteMy friend. Just like religion ITS A WIDELY BASED OPINION ( murder, child rape , etc.) you are so bound by your morals that you cannot see this.
You are so bound by your idea that you are free thinker that in actual fact you appear to me to be anything but. Those ideas mentioned are as evil as mankind gets along with numerous other things that we as a race can be capable of. I'd rather be bound by a few basic morals than to be so "free" that anything in the world could be shown to be not evil.
My personal morals are as simple as I can be, abuse of another individuals rights or life is wrong, taken too far becomes evil. That sort of somes up the main thrust of my morality, along with trying to treat others the way I want to be treated when I can

Quote
thief was looked down upon by those who "got there sutff stolen",
same with child rape. so you were taught to hate such things , as when i was 14 years old i found out that most of the right/wrong was an opinion. then i learned that humans ( you and i ) change right/wrong as we grow and evolve. so how is right/wrong a fact?? if it keeps changing??

Often some things that were considered immoral do change over time this is true. Racism, homophobia, various other forms of prejudice get challenged and eventually shown to be wrong. This is part of humanity growing up, not an evidence of relative morality. I believe there is a reason that many thing are widely believed to be wrong, and yes I state the word belief in this. In many things you can draw a woolly cloud of reasoning and say it's opinion only. When however you challenge things that are clearly deeply wrong and yes I say evil and claim it is only an opinion, there is something deeply wrong about that statement. Perhaps I do not have the ability right now to apply any more "logic" and "prove" you more wrong than this, however you would be wrong to base so much of your ideas on purely such an attempt at logical dissection. You are totally ignoring the heart, the spirit, the feeling behind the concepts of good and evil.

Quoteyou seem to have gotten angry about the "so raping a child is an opinion of choice" . this proves that you have been brainwashed into thinking a certain way , and you call yourself a sentient being HA .
I was taught by my peers that homosexuality was wrong, dirty and many other things. I was taught that to be a non christian was a bad thing to a degree. I was taught other things, however my own intelligence soon told me what was worth keeping and what was worth rejecting. That is an act of sentience. That is also not the act of a being being brainwashed. As it happens I learnt whilst still in my early teens that not only was I not heterosexual but I was also very widely ranging in personal sexual tastes, something I had to teach myself to deal with as an adult, not as an ignorant brainwashed adult either.
Once again you have decided that I am definitly someone who only thinks the way I've been taught. You cannot be more wrong.  Intelligence is in part learning to decide when you are being taught well, and when you are not; what to eventually reject or modify, and what to ignore completely. Deciding to keep something that I was in part taught is not a sign of being bound, but a sign of a particular decision still seeming to be right to me. It's a choice on my part even though that choice is very deep.


Quotestill i have no proof that a "creator" or even humans are bound by space/time. like ive said time/space is only a calculation whos to say it is the only one?? i admit i have tried to use theory as fact in this topic, and i apologize . unless someone has found another way besides time/space "math" i will stick by my posts

I cannot stick by my posts if something I have said in the past is shown to be definitly wrong. I am prepared to re-examine my points of view if new information presents itself that is more solid requires a change on my part.
As for using theory as fact, I'm sure I've been guilty of this more than once :-)
I think if we wish to hash this out any further, it might be better in pm LOL as this thread is likely to become tiring now.

I'd love this to be true. But how can anyone predict this with any accuracy? Also if you extract the energy from vibration of matter all you are doing is cooling it down. Something fridges do.

Ferromagnetic devices. You mean ordinary iron magnets?
Unknown effect, that's a good catchall. Sorry to sound skeptical on this one but predicting it for this year is unreasonable at best.

What's an airwell? :-). The utopian dream here, alive and well. I wish that the principle of what you are saying, innaccuracies aside could come true.

QuoteIf there is no right or wrong at all then um paedophiles and rapists aren't wrong? Cold blooded murder is not wrong? Nazism wasn't/isn't wrong? Freedom of speech isn't right? The list goes on."



QuoteSpoken like a true child the concept of right/wrong is an opinion im i correct??

The concept of right or wrong came from somewhere. Yes on some levels it may be opinion and like all opinions one point of view can be said to be as valid as another. This is the relative morals argument. However if you cannot see that there is a hard core bundle of human values that can define good or evil then you yourself may have an issue.

Yes there are many issues that in different cultures are more acceptable or unacceptable than others. As cultures have evolved and grown there appears to be a kind of a consensus as to some basics as to what could define evil. Again you may say this is a cultural opinion. It might appear to be such a product. However it has far more value to a society than a mere opinion, therefore I feel such morals become a lot more than opinion.

Society has a whole has a long way to go with this of course, but the examples I give above I stand by. Things that I say are evil, I label so because I believe that they are and that most of the world would go along with this, barring obvious exceptions of course.  The world has yet to form a complete consensus on freedom of speech, and unfortunately Nazi movements still exist.

If we do not as a society, build a foundation for judging what we think is truly good or evil, along what lines will justice evolve? Natural justice e.g. survival of the fittest? Relative justice only e.g. where extremely convoluted and woolly thinking can actually get rapists and similar off the hook?

Quoteso raping a child is an opinion of choice??

What the **** do you mean by this? It's an evil act even if the reasons the perpetrator gives to rationalise appear to be anything but. This is one thing that everyone I've every spoken to or heard from on this subject agrees. The only people who do not tend to be paedophiles or have other serious issues in their own right.

In times past there are tales of cultures where catamites were considered a normal "accessory" for people in power. Also torture, slavery and many other practices that we now feel to be evil were considered normal. The definitions of evil as a whole have evolved with the race. No-one handed us a stone with these engraved, and the universe was not created with our human ideas of good and evil written out for us. We have had to learn these ourselves. Here's a thought for you. Is maths real? The reason I ask I hope would be obvious, however if not; The rules behind simple mathematical operations seem be universal no matter where you are. The universe will operate to a large degree to mathematical models we understand already, this is proven. Also we are also aware that there are gaps in this knowledge, some of them immense. What we have certainly works so far regardless. The same could be said for a form of universal good and evil.

It's possible that any other sentient life that has much similarity to our own in form would end up arriving at similar conclusions that can apply anywhere. There is more to be said here of course, including what happens with biological differences etc.

Quotelike ive said there is no good/evil its what you want it to be. If you cannot live in a world with violence and corruption then kill yourself by all means

This is meaningless garbage. Always was, and always will be. You do appear to believe in relative morals in a major way. Without foundations nothing gets built. Your ethics sound like they'd collapse as so far they appear to me to be built on nothing, pretty much like your argument.

Where on earth did you dig up that silly statement anyway? It's pretty juvenile and does not advance your point of view in any way at all. Throw out similar stuff on your next post please.


Quotestill space/time is what we all live in.. your telling me you do not exist in time??
you actually need proof of time??"

You answer nothing with this. Time is a phenomena we all experience and are familiar but no-one fully understands it. As a race we do not understand it's origins, all we know how to do is measure it. We do relate time to space as the two appear inseparable, perhaps the answer lies in this fact.

This does not indicate how time was created, neither does it indicate a creator. Logically you can endeavour to argue that it was created somehow, because it exists. That's as far as you can go. Time in the continuum we live in appears to flow one way from our point of view, we can look back with varying degrees of accuracy but so far we do not know how to look forward.

Quotelike ive said this is mostly therory based on real science .
"Religion could exist with or without the existence of good and evil"
ok karnautrahl religion teachs yin/yang opposties am i correct??
so a religion of a "holy being" or "holy energy" must have an evil side to it as well.
ruleing out good/evil means that there is no holy - sub holy . my friend if you cannot fathom such things then you should try some deep thinking perhaps .

I believe you started the "no good/evil" argument. I believe there is a true good/evil, even though it can be shown to be a human creation it does not make it less real. Take all forms of thinking, sentient life off this planet and you would be correct in a way to say that on Earth there would not be good/evil. It's a product of our form of sentient life. It's still real.
I will admit to slightly sloppy thinking on the religion point. Most religions I am familiar do teach some form of polarity as far as I know. My knowledge of religion does not extend far enough for me to point out any that do not teach such polarity in some form, though I do think from what I know of Taoism that good/evil is not the polarity under discussion.

QuoteThough i do not agree with murder as i have respect all life in the universe ITS AN OPINION .

It may be an opinion, however sometimes all we have is opinion upon which to base important decisions. On this board our opinions only have importance to others as they are the main "face" of what others can see about us on the net.

In our lives our opinions are important to us as we do base a big proportion of our decisions on them. We have to believe that we are likely to be right most of the time for this to work, though most of us a flexible enough to deal with being wrong as this allows us to grow and learn.  

Your opinion on murder is the same as most people I've ever spoken with and I think the vast majority of the world. The exceptions tend to be people who are a danger to society, so it's not just a personal opinion, but possibly  a near universal opinion that was strong enough to have laws created based upon it. That makes it very real.


Quoteyou cannot say somethings right/wrong with it because you are one person in 6 billion. your voice will most likey never be heard so you should keep your opinions about something so divine as right/wrong to yourself

I can and I will. We all do on this board, we all do in our lives. You are a fool and a knave Sir, and I believe you are sadly mistaken in your attempt to tell me how to behave. You are being childish and asinine with this totally nonsensical statement. No where in this post do I suggest that you do the same. I do believe you should take more time in your replies however.

Occasionally somebody makes the right noise in the right place and things change. Yes it takes commitment, passion and a belief in themselves and the human race to do this. If it was true, mankind would be in caves still.

Thankfully I do not believe in keeping my opinions to myself except when prudent, something basic common sense tells me. In this instance it's not only valid to challenge your extreme negativism but I believe almost imperative. History has shown time and again that one person can and will make a difference if they truly want to. So do not presume to believe that you have any right to request I keep my opinions to myself. That is simply and utterly stupid. You will not silence anyone with edicts. The only request I or perhaps any other reader on this board might make is that you make your arguments more coherent and complete.

QuoteAlso whos to say that space/time is the only calculation in the universe , its what we've got now so deal with it. One can only go by the amount of knowledge in the universe, so why are u sitting on your behind. instead of trying to learn the finite amounts of knowledge on earth why arent you in a space program?? You could be the first person on Mars, and find some new kind of subtance that keeps mortals alive longer ( or something ) ."

Why aren't you? Stupid question. One that did not require this length of an answer. What is so special about you that you feel you can ask this question out of nowhere?

There are obvious reasons why I am not in a space program or a scientific researcher. One is that I did not attempt to choose those paths in life. As for why, why do any of us choose the paths that we do. Another is that for these two paths you suggest I'm simply not quite that intelligent at this time.

What are you attempting to imply by this question? It sounds like you wish to judge me or is this aimed in general. Either way it's judgemental and not very bright.

QuoteHow was time created? What evidence do you have?" my friend there is only a few logical answers for this question.

Only a few? Is logic the only tool in your toolbar? If so, you need some more and also you might want to consider sharpening this one.

Quote1: a "creator" created space/time but once time has started nothing can enter or leave time .
The first half of this is fine, but I do not understand how you reach the conclusion that nothing can enter or leave. There is no foundation for this assertation at all.

You appear to be implying you have a full and deep understanding of the complete structure of space time to know this. Which is not possible. Current theories in physics suggest many possibilities including higher dimensions and wormholes. I won't bore the thread by listing out all the current theories, besides right now I'd have to actually go and find you some links and references. Something I'm sure you can do for yourself.

Quote2: the big bang ( sounds bogus to me) something out of nothing just doesnt fit. look at it this way, how could a massive explosion happen from nothing?? it takes splitting atoms to create such a thing . arent atoms some sort of matter/energy but this is flawed because energy cannot be created nor destroyed . Time is nothing more than a calculation that we are ALL doomed by this being said , i hope it clears up anything , doubts in your mind about time/space that you are having

The big bang theory is a model, a best fit based on the data we have. No-one has claimed it is the only truth, only the best we have based on current evidence. This is how most investigations are performed, trying to work out what happened from the remaining evidence. Splitting atoms, fusing atoms, anti-matter/matter annihilation are some ways to generate energy from given mass.

You are correct on one statement that is the fact that within this universe that we can observe, the rule does seem to be that you cannot create/destroy energy. However, we don't know exactly what was here before the big bang. Had the universe collapsed into an immensely dense near point mass and then exploded? Does it go in cycles, if so what medium does our universe rest in.

Is there evidence of a greater continuum outside this one. So far the best model is that this is likely but no one is claiming any certainty on this.

However please try to order your main argument and additional arguments with some thought to logical progression. If you can maintain a full train of thought, a decent thread of argument, it would be simpler to answer your posts in a more thorough manner.
