My first suggestion is CUT BACK ON THE SUGAR! That much sugar is really bad for your health, stop using it all together in your tea if possible. I do not know how bad caffiene is, but I know that the sugar is not good. I have cut it out of my coffee and tea. I rarely drink any drinks containing any sugar, except on occation I will drink some 100% fruit juice. I can tell a big difference. I have gone without caffiene and I can tell that I do have a little addiction to it. I get sluggish and tired in the morning without it, sometimes headaches. So I need to cut it out I am sure. I hear that those that have cut it out also feel a lot better anc can see a difference. I use to drink atleast 6 cans of Mountain Dew a day, sometimes more. I did not realize it until my kidneys started fighting back. I stopped drinking any pop (soda, cola, or whatever your area calls it) altogether for a few years. Big improvement. Now I drink it every now and then but rarely. Advice? Stop it cold turkey. Otherwise you will gradually go back. Start drinking lots of water. Water is good for you. You will feel a lot better trust me, I know. I know that it will be hard since you are so use to drinking things so sweet, but you will not notice it after a month or so. And after awhile you will probably not be able to go back to drinking sweet drinks again. I can hardly stand to drink any now.

I do not think that drugs are necessary for any spiritual pursuits. You can do anything that you need to do drug free. The experience will be more pleasant and you will be more in control with a clear mind. I know there are those that disagree, but this is my opinion. To each their own.

Can you Salsa (I think that is right), Tisha? I always wanted to learn that.

Sure, you can use your retirement $$$ to buy a ferrari too...  It's there, not used... so why not spend it?
You can spend a huge chunk of the Social Security $$$ to reduce Taxes like I think Bush did...
What I am trying to say is that you are using a resource that was meant for something else...  abusing life/nature.

Of course, you can say that it's your energy, so you can do whatever you want with it...  I guess.  But, personaly, I just can't abuse such a "magic"/amazing thing that is life.

The two are nothing alike. You can throw away energy if you wish, or you can harness it for your own intent, such as your health. You can get energy whenever and wherever you want, money on the other hand is harder to come by.

I do not view the energy as my own. It is the Universe's I guess. Energy does not belong to any one person. It is there for everyone to use. It is my view that energy has the tendancy to move and flow and be used. Since it is there, and it desires to be used, I should use it effectively for my betterment. This is my view anyway.

Nothing to worry about it. It is common. Robert Bruce mentions it in his book. Many posts on this. Your hands are fine.

Anyone can learn to cultivate, or transmutate, their sexual energy to turn it into more refined energy. It is a question as to if a person actually wants to do this or not. Changing one's view of sex and over coming the "got to get off" mentality is not really an easy thing. It is not impossible, but it depends on if one truly wishes to work to attain it or not. The rewards are very well worth the effort.

You can view the creative energy of sex not only to create life, but creation in general. The energy is there and if you are not going to use it to create another life, then why not use this creative energy to create something else.

HAHAHAHA.........this brings up a question........can you get STD's in the astral world..........and if you do does it carry over (propably not or mabey).[][][]

No

quote:There is a great possibility that virus's such as HIV/Aids was designed in a laboratory and secretly released on the world population in order to keep the rapidly growing human population down - I mean if you think of it, if you take away all deaths brought about by Aids and similarly fatal diseases then the world population would be much larger than 6 and a half Billion.

This could be true, but I kind of doubt it. Nature is most likely the cause. Nature maintains a certain balance, when something gets out of whack something else happens to try to bring it back into balance. Humans, reguardless of how much they try to distance themselves from nature are still part of it. Humans have upset the balance by populating so much of the world while destroy much of nature. By going into areas that humans have not been before, it is highly likely they will come across new diseases, or rather ones they have never seen before. With the gobalized world we live in today, it is very easy for a small virus to travel from some isolated area to major populations in no time.

Also, microbes, like all life, evolve and change. This change can happen more quickly since they are simplier organisms than more complex mammals, birds, etc. So we will continue to see new diseases popping up. It is not something that can be stopped.

This is just the way the world is that we live in. It is a system that works. With humans living longer and reproducing at incredible rates, something has to happen to keep things within balance. Other wise, how long will it be before nature can no longer support all of its inhabitants. Not that I am saying we should do nothing about this AIDS situation, for we should do all we can. I am just saying, that is the way it is.

Replied elsewhere as an answer.

Studies have shown that sex has far more benefits than just increasing the population. Just something to think about. []
(Of coarse these studies are done with Western science, but it does show the physical benefits of the physical aspect of sex.)

"Other studies (some rigorous, some less so) purport to show that having sex even a few times a week has an associative or causal relationship with the following:

- Improved sense of smell: After sex, production of the hormone prolactin surges. This in turn causes stem cells in the brain to develop new neurons in the brain's olfactory bulb, its smell center.

- Reduced risk of heart disease: In a 2001 follow-on to the Queens University study mentioned above, researchers focused on cardiovascular health. Their finding? That by having sex three or more times a week, men reduced their risk of heart attack or stroke by half. In reporting these results, the co-author of the study, Shah Ebrahim, Ph.D., displayed the well-loved British gift for understatement: "The relationship found between frequency of sexual intercourse and mortality is of considerable public interest."

- Weight loss, overall fitness: Sex, if nothing else, is exercise. A vigorous bout burns some 200 calories--about the same as running 15 minutes on a treadmill or playing a spirited game of squash. The pulse rate, in a person aroused, rises from about 70 beats per minute to 150, the same as that of an athlete putting forth maximum effort. British researchers have determined that the equivalent of six Big Macs can be worked off by having sex three times a week for a year. Muscular contractions during intercourse work the pelvis, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck and thorax. Sex also boosts production of testosterone, which leads to stronger bones and muscles. Men's Health magazine has gone so far as to call the bed the single greatest piece of exercise equipment ever invented.

- Reduced depression: Such was the implication of a 2002 study of 293 women. American psychologist Gordon Gallup reported that sexually active participants whose male partners did not use condoms were less subject to depression than those whose partners did. One theory of causality: Prostoglandin, a hormone found only in semen, may be absorbed in the female genital tract, thus modulating female hormones.

- Pain-relief: Immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin surge to five times their normal level. This in turn releases endorphins, which alleviate the pain of everything from headache to arthritis to even migraine. In women, sex also prompts production of estrogen, which can reduce the pain of PMS.

- Less-frequent colds and flu: Wilkes University in Pennsylvania says individuals who have sex once or twice a week show 30% higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A, which is known to boost the immune system.

- Better teeth: Seminal plasma contains zinc, calcium and other minerals shown to retard tooth decay. Since this is a family Web site, we will omit discussion of the mineral delivery system. Suffice it to say that it could be a far richer, more complex and more satisfying experience than squeezing a tube of Crest--even Tartar Control Crest. Researchers have noted, parenthetically, that sexual etiquette usually demands the brushing of one's teeth before and/or after intimacy, which, by itself, would help promote better oral hygiene.

- A happier prostate? Some urologists believe they see a relationship between infrequency of ejaculation and cancer of the prostate."...

Well I am not Christian (though I have studied it) nor Satanist, so I hope you do not mind me posting anyway. If the Creator, God, etc created all things, then all are brothers and sisters. It is usually believed that Satan was an angel who rebelled, so God then had to create him. If God created Jesus as well then Jesus and Satan are brothers, like you and me are brothers, Jesus and myself are brothers, and Satan and myself are brothers, for we all come from the Creator. So I ask, how are Jesus and Satan not brothers?

Or you can take this a litle less literally and say that Jesus and Satan are the two sides to the Creator or God. The yin and yang that that bind the universe, different energies that are one, working together if not sometimes seem at odds.

(I have not looked at the links yet so I do not know what they say, so I am just posting my ideas)

I think that was his point. The clitoris is a sex organ whose only function is pleasure.

quote:Believe me, if sex was just pleasure without the life creation energetical aspect, I would be a real bunny!!!

But it is those energies that are the basis for sexual magic. You just use them to create what you want, be it another life or whatever.

Wasn't that the Ark of the Covenant [?]

Yeah, he found that too. But the Nazis took it from him, then the US government got it from them and it is now stored in a top secret warehouse somewhere, or so it shows at the end of the movie. He sure is good at tracking down religious artifacts. I think I am going to have to watch those movies again this weekend. []

Why are you looking for it?

quote:I dont know if this is my own private hell or if this is a actual region.

I think all "hells" are private because everyone is different and has different things that they need to work through. That is how I view hells, things that we need to work through and learn. Lucky for you someone was there to help you.

quote:"Jesus always forgives" (now for all of you who coukd get offended by this I am sorry but this happened and I would be a hypocrite not to include it.)

I would really hope no one would get offended by another's actual experience.


Interesting experience you had.

quote:Originally posted by beavis

It makes sense to say that very few people are ever ready for relationships, by simply looking at divorce rate.

People change. You (as you are now) can be ready for a relationship with somebody as they are now, but not like them later.

So true. I think that if you want a relationship to last both need to work to change together. Sometimes though as you both change you both realize that you are not right together. So there is no way to know for certain that a relationship will last a lifetime. Just live in the now, for that is all that you have.


Nagual, I respect your view and it may be the right path for you. But my views are not the same as yours. As I have stated, sex is what you make of it, it is a tool and a powerful one at that. Kept physical, then it is much as you say. But sex can be very spiritual as well and I have used it many times to help me connect with the spirit. I have used it help in energy work, love, self healing and exploration, and more. So from experience sex can be much more than what you imply. So yes you are weird. [] Not really, infact I find most people do not wish to explore any kind of sexual magic, so I am the weird one.

The only thing I know that the future holds is change. Nothing stays the same, change is constant. It is up to you to influence change to something you like, otherwise it is likely it will change to something you do not like.

quote:do you think we will become more advanced

That is really a relative term. What is advanced to one person may not be to another. You seem to indicate that you mean technologically advanced. I think we will continue to advance in this area, but I doubt we will ever be flying around in our own personal vehicles. Not so much that I think we will never reach such technology but because I think it will be too dangerous. I mean alot of people cannot even drive cars very well, can you imagine them trying to fly?? I do hope that we can create more effiecent cars that do not pollute.

Advanced to me means more of a spiritual advancement. We can have all the technology to make our lives "perfect" (I do not think that such a thing is possible because perfection does not come from technology, but anyway) but it is meaningless if we are not spiritually advanced, because we will never be happy until we can look beyond materialism. Advanced to me would be that we no longer have to worry about health care, money when we retire, or money in general. Advanced to me would be when leaders no longer give tax cuts to the rich while cutting health care from the public and poor. Advanced means putting the public's well being before special interest groups. Will we ever advance in such a way? I do not know, but I think that if we do not then things will only get worse leading to hard times in the future.

Note: When I say spiritually advanced I am talking about looking beyond materialism and money and caring for humanity, nature, envvironment, and just trying to make the world a better place instead of just trying to make yourself richer. It does not necessarily mean "finding or seeking god".

Yes, great movie! But Monty Python did not find it. Indiana Jones on the other hand did find it. Unfortunately it was swallowed up by the earth in an earthquake soon after the discovery.

These pictures definately were not taken in the US.

If you do call him, call from a public phone or work. Don't call from your home phone. If he has less than honorable intentions it will be way too easy to find out where you live by calling from your home phone.

I have seen Guardian used in several different places. One that sticks in my mind is associated with aliens. Do a search on the net and I bet you can get some freaky stuff.

Why would the government be interested in anyone here? All they have to do is buy Astral Dynamics for their agents and tell them to learn how to do it.

I thought of cucumber, so I guess I am different, but I knew that anyway.

The void is such a peaceful place. mmmmm

It sounds like you woke up in your etheric body. I have read that when it is close to your physical body it can be rather sluggish, and usually if you do not move away you get pulled back in. I have read about people overcoming sleep paralysis but I do not remember how. Hopefully someone can help you with this. I have never experienced it. I doubt you were being attacked. Being out of body can be different than when in your physical body which includes different sensations and feelings. Don't jump to the conclusion that that something odd, weird, or unpleasant is trying to hurt you. Try to understand and learn. We fear that which we do not understand.

Yes

quote:Regarding that woman - she definitely gets the first prize in "the most horribly useless way to waste an OBE"

Why place such judgement? The great thing about OBEs is that we can do whatever we want, and clearly this women really enjoys sitting on top of trees. Being an elderly women, maybe she can no longer enjoy climbing trees like she did when she was younger. Out of body she can. Maybe you, and all of us, can learn something from her.

Maybe it is just his way of picking up chicks. Sometimes a guy has to be creative. []

I was just thinking, what do you do about your driver's license when you no longer need any kind of corrective lenses? Do you just walk in and tell them to take that restriction off because you have been healed?

I am not sure about Tantric as I have not studied it, but I have studied the Taoist version. If you have not done Robert's NEW Energy Ways to develop your energy body and awareness of it, then that is a good place to start. The foundation starts on being aware of your energy and though I did not learn from NEW I have read it I think it is the best method for learning. The basic idea is to pull your sexual energy up your spine over your head and store it in the sub-navel energy center, much like you are taught in NEW to store energy. Sexual energy is rather volatile though and can be difficult to work with at first, plus it needs to be transformed into more refined energy which is done by circulating over your head and bringing it back down. I do not have time to give you more details, but this has been discussed several times on here and a few sources for information have been given, including the book I learned from. Do a search and you should be able to find some info.

Haha, probably so but not in the way you imply.
