A precision (just in case):  When you try to shift your consciousness above your body, be sure not to "translate" there; you are already there.  Your body is floating above your physical body (which you should not feel anymore).  A bit like if your physical body was not your body anymore...  At least that's how I see it.

Otherwise, you can try the rope exercise...
And, in just 4 days, it's a pretty good result.
Persevere! [|)]

I sense that AlphaOmega might be sarcastic... [|)]

Also, couldn't the lack of "Good" be... "neutral"?

Really?   Damn...  Hum...  Understanding what?

to you.

quote:and comparing people to animals in a matter where people are being denied a basic civil right, is just offensive.

Offensive?  In what way?  Funny how you critic people denying rights to gays/lesbians, when you yourself deny rights to other beings (animals).

So nice of you; but might take a while...  I am not as clever as you.  [|)]

quote:Donkey = Animal
Gays and Lesbians = Human Beings
I think that is a pretty distinct difference.

While this might be another (controversial) debate, animals are living beings as much as humans are...  Putting man above all other species is like putting white people above all other races.  So, from this point of view, I see no difference.

I do love my cat, and I am not having sex with it...  Love does not always come with sex.

Why didn't they make a smiling one???  Something like this: []
Hum... might be annoying after a few hours in fact...
And, talking about sex, it reminds of the "famous" RealDolls (NOT FOR KIDS!).  []

As the other said, just ignore him...
Also, if he was a true friend, why would he want to make fun of you?

And I doubt any kind of picture, even the most perfect one, will convince him anyway.  He does not want to be convinced; he wants you to stop believing.  The only way would be to make him experience/feel it.  

If you really want to and if you can "play" with Chi between your hands, you can try to make him feel it. just let him stand up with his right arm extended in front of him and have him close his eyes.  Then, bring your right hand next to his right hand and try to feel the Chi in between your palms.  Play with it.  Compress it, expand it... and ask him from times to times if he feels anything, and what it feels like.  You can also try by pointing your fingers towards his palm and go in circle.  You can also slowly go up to his shoulder and then back again....  The problem is that he needs to be patient, relax, open minded...

About the Kirlian effect, I am not sure it's exactly Chi...  Might be more magnetic/electric rather than Chi.  So, I would avoid showing pics if your friend is already skeptical...

The best proof is direct experience.  But, again, you should not feel obliged to prove anything to your "friend"...  I witnessed some skeptical visitors at my TaiChi school; my teacher would do the experiment above; they would feel it but would still try to deny it exists...  Funny to watch them try to find some twisted explanations...  [|)]

[super mega hyper realy intensively]

quote:I've been trying one other method where I ask myself every 15-30 minutes something like "Am I Dreaming?" and it hasn't worked at all.

Yes, but how much "intensity" do you put into your "Am I Dreaming?" question?  If you just take 3 seconds to say it without much intent and then immediately fall back into "zombie" mode, it won't do much...  Be sure to spend at least 10 full seconds to super mega hyper realy intensively check what's going on with you and around you.  Concentration exercises would help.  How long/often have you been doing this exercise?  And it's not just about checking if you are dreaming or not; it's checking about everything...  By example it's checking that you are not wasting your time replaying over and over in your head about what nasty thing guy XYZ did to you; or about the argument you had with your friend; or imagining this or that; or realizing that what your doing right now is a waste of time/energy; etc...  It's about controling your thoughts, your behavior, yourself.  It's about saving you energy from spending it in useless stuff.

quote:I here alot of talk about negative entities. ... Is that anything to worry about?

Worrying is "useless".  It varies a lot from people to people anyway...  You can run into negative humans at school or at the office or in the street...  So, as in everyday life, you'll have to learn a way to avoid them.

So, should a couple be complementory or alike to succeed...?

quote:thanks for being the ONLY person who replied...*sigh*

I did not reply since I have no real answers to your question...  And I am sure it's the same for most people.

Anyway here's a few questions for you (and for it if you wanna ask him):
Did it ask you to do things on its own?
Did it ask for help with something?
Did it introduced some of its "friends" to you?
Did it show you his home world?
Did it offer to teach you things in exchange of something (like energy) from you?

But, personaly, I like freedom; so a "parasite", even an apparently friendly one, is a no no for me.  Especially if it avoids to answer why it sticks with you...  If you ask something about your safety and you get no clear answer, imagine the worst case answer...

It's up to you but, personaly, I would "push him against the wall" with specific questions and, if I get no clear answers, I would clearly state that this relation is over...

Hi bluejay.

Do you have a door to your room?  If so, can you close/lock it?  If not, could you try to find a quiet spot in some park...?

Otherwise, you can practice all day.  Just be more aware.  We tend to just be like zombies; little robots doing what we have to do without thinking...  So, be more present in what you do, in your suroundings,  etc...

A simple exercise is to do "reality checks" like every xxx minutes.  Like, every 30 minutes, take 10 seconds to check what's going on, pay attention to your suroundings.  Does everything looks normal?  Etc...  When you do these checks, do it "seriously", with a strong intent.  Also, quickly (but "seriously") check if you can remember what happened before now; how you got where you are; what you did since you woke up that day...  Check for anything unusual.

Then, as you go to bed at night, do some relaxation exercises.  Let your body fall asleep, while you try to keep your mind busy.  You can focus on your breathing; count in your head; try the rope technique; etc...

Have fun!

How come Mariage is sooo important for some people...?  Personaly, it does not mean anything to me...  It's just a human invention to try to force the couple to stay together.  So, you can give monkeys or aliens the right to marry, I would not care at all!  []

And, seeing the number of divorces...  mariage became useless a long time ago.

1 - OBEer

2 - 10 years ago

3 - I found 2 definitions of the Akashic records...  For some people, it's a place/location.  For others, it is a state of mind.  Anyway, I don't think I ever reached any.

4 - I met "things"...  Not sure what label I should put on them.  They seemed more advanced in energy/psychology manipulation; but not really more "intelligent"/wise.  So that might be a no.  I guess the Higher Beings are not interested in me... []

5 - I have no "special" abilities.  Not a channeler; not a psychic; no TK; no talking to God...  Just a poor little frustrated beginner travelling blindly into the Unknown... [|)]

According to a survey by Dr. Kinsey, 95% of the men and 80% of the women have either experienced or currently practice masturbation.

Dr Weil: Masturbation is a normal sexual behavior that just about everybody engages in - 95 percent of males and 89 percent of females, according to current statistics.

But it must vary "a lot" between different ages/countries/cultures...

Did I...?  Who did?
Most of the comments were closer to psychology or something rather than prophecy...

quote:If they have access to "THE REAL TRUTH!!!" regarding the Government, the Zetas, the Space Gekko's, and the Illuminati I wondered what they'd come up with.

Ohhh, I see.  So the whole point was to prove them wrong.
So I guess you won; congratulation!
Or maybe you could tell these psychics why they would do you this favor?
Have you been friendly?  Not really.  Have you been polite?  Nope.
The "Ah ah ah, I bet you cannot do this!  You suck!!!" trick in order to get what you want might work between kids...  but adults...
So, why would they do you this favor...?

Mine does not...
I would say you should be safe, especialy since it's a jpeg...

False alarms do happen.  Maybe a part of the image looks like the virus signature checked from you antivirus software...  Is it setup to check via heuristic...?

quote:plus i can never ever tell whether they are real or not to begin with, hence the whole dillema.

Hence my answer: Whenever you doubt, abstain.
At least that's the responsible answer IMO...

quote:So let me get this right. Does that mean you have no problem with people advertising on the AP, for say physic readings, selling crystals healing etc. Or is your allowence merely for humanistic causes.

In my opinion you are grasping for straws instead of just admitting that soliciting signatures for various causes, in these forums are is at best "iffy", at worst........opportunistic or worse.

From my point of view, there is a difference between activism and commercial advertising...  My comparison was only about the "reaching the people" aspect.  If for you it's the same, there's nothing I can do about it...

quote:isnt difficult to make a virus atacking that sector zero?! I thought that virus would only atack the main system (windows, linux, whatever). How is that?

It is very easy; as long as you have the administrative rights to do it...  And, in windows, as far as I know, anybody have the rights to it more or less by default...

Many experts find it very weird that virus writers were so "nice" so far...  There are many nasty things to do (other than deleting the hard drive); like screwing the BIOS of the motherboard... Most motherboards would just "die" and you can throw them away (or maybe buy a new Bios chip for a generic motherboard, if possible)...  In the past, you could also let the hardrive's head just drop on the platters; and I think the disk would be dead.

About the "hostility", I can understand why she feels being aggressed...  I myself sometimes feel "attacked" when almost everybody disagree with me in a thread.  But I would call it frustration rather than agression.

I think it's pretty clear that Leyla does not care discussing about it; she just want a real psychic for free; one that will prove it to her...  Let's just leave her alone now.

PS: Hum...  You should have gone to one of those $5 psychics!!!  At least they tell you what you wanna hear...  []

Hum...  It is difficult to talk about something if people cannot define/describe it...  Is the Soul the Awarness?

Yeah, the ranking system being based on the number of posts does not mean much...  It just say how talkative someone is, which does not mean much either.  Some people say interesting things, while others just talk to talk.

About ranking people by their proeficiency at APing...  I cannot see any way to measure that.  How could the moderators distribute the points...?  Based on what?  Would they give the highest rank to the guy who claimed he had god powers?

The "best" system would be user based ranking.  Anybody can rate a post, and the rank of someone would be based on the average grade from all their posts...  But again, that would not necesseraly reflect their proeficiency.

quote:I want to have dream sex and dream wars and battles

Really...?

Maybe you could ask them before doing whatever you want to do?
If you came into my dreams, you would not have to ask them to have sex/fights; they would play with you right away!!!  []

For your "are they real?  I don't want to hurt them" problem; and any other problems:
Whenever you doubt, abstain.

Or just get rid of the evil duo: Internet Explorer & Outlook...
There are plenty of other free browsers and mail readers with no activeX and other crap.

Install a firewall (like ZoneAlarm), even if you have an external one.  This way you can also monitor what softwares are trying to go out.

And of course, don't execute anything sent to you; avoid software downloaded from P2P (or check their md5 checksum first); etc...

And if you are the unlucky user of Real Secure and BlackIce products, check this one:

PS: About the message itself, it sounds like a "social" virus itself; especially when you read: "the most destructive ever!" or "Please pass this mail to all of your friends.  Forward this to everyone in your address book."

If you don't go get the people where they are (to sign a petition or whatever); there's not much chance that they will come to you...

It's the same problem as with advertising.  As much as I hate advertisment, I understand that the only way to make people aware of your product is to reach them wherever they are...  Otherwise, how would they know about it?
