How come we only mainly hear of ADD in the US and not in the rest of the world...?  Personnaly, I am quite shocked/sadned when I hear that some (irresponsible/selfish) parents just drug their "hyper-active" kids into zombies to have more calm... [V]

Since ADD does not seem very compatible with concentration...  it might be a problem.  On the other hand, being full of energy, it can be good.  So, I don't know... []

I am a single guy!  I was trying to say that, being the only guy there, most woman seemed to think that I was just there to pickup one [], and were a little bit on the defensive...  But I tend to be a little paranoid sometimes... []

Trust me, there are many fake everything out there; yoga styles included... [xx(]

Google is your friend!

Try the few search results...

I try not to believe...  I prefer to know.  So far, I can't say anything about karma... if it exists.
As Arc said, karma, like paradise/hell and other beliefs or traditions, have the "side effect" (purpose?) of scaring people into behaving good...

That just remind me of a funny dream!

I was having a normal dream, walking in my hometown with 2 friends...  At one point, one of my friend begins to get close to me; really close.  I get a little bit annoyed. I continue to walk and my friend continues to stick to me like if he was glued or something.  Suddenly, I am lying on my bed, next to a dark body.  I did not notice the change of place at that time.  Still annoyed by my friend being too close, I felt this dark body too close too.  I start to push it away; but it is very difficult/heavy...  I try, again, and again, and... finaly succeed!  But, as the dark body begins to fall off the bed, I realize that I am this dark body falling!  I am conscious of both my body on the bed and the one falling!  And, before hitting the ground, my awarness is back in my body and here comes the vibration... but I miss the take off...

I can just relate experiencing a few times being aware of both my dream body and my physical body at the same time...  "Double conscious"

In one of Castaneda's book, he describes one experience where the "dreamer" was watching the "dreamnt", and vice versa...  He kept switching from one to the other.  Also, he said that some sorcerers could live a normal life in 2 different places in //; one in their physical bodies and the other in their dream bodies...  One "crazy" thing about that was that he was saying that, from the dreamnt point of view, the dreamer was the dreamnt one... so he could "wake up" in his dream body instead of his physical body!  Which he said he did...

Anyway, how many people were able to project and see their physical body lying on their bed...?

quote:man id freak out if that happend to me!

Why?  You have no "real" body in the astral.  You are just a point of consciousness.  Give it a try, chop your hands with a butcher knife... Hum, maybe not both hands since, after choping the first hand, it might be difficult to chop the other one! [][]

Question:  When you go through a wall; is the wall disapearing to let your body go through or is your body disapearing to let yourself go through...?

Reminds me of one time I saw myself in a mirror and I could only see my clothes and my hairs...  That was weird!  []

So... we need at least 2 trusted members to play the middle men...  That'll be tricky to find... []  The best would be 2 persons who won't go to API, so they won't miss any part of the "find my modification to API" game.  Mr Bruce would be a nice middle man if he had time...

And, for the ultra paranoid... we can't do anything if 2 members are trolling (modifier and founder)...

A little promotion here...  []
If you live in Boston, I would recommend http://www.gstaichi.org/.  Check some of their articles and their lineage.  They also list a few other affiliated schools.

Enjoy!

I think that looking into the eyes of someone/something can tell a lot; at least for me...  If there is an illusion; it can only be in the way we interpret the energy of the target...  If you can see energy directly, there should be no illusion.

I agree.  Just ignore threads that you don't like...  If some kids/adults want to be a DBZ, what's so bad about it?  When I was a kid, I dreamed to be a super-hero too!

But I guess I am used to it.  I played the game Diablo on battle.net in the past and it was full of immature and aggressive kids with super-powers...  Scary!!! []  and sad... [V]

Just want to add that some kids are mature too... and, regarding Dr.Yang, Jwing-Ming, being famous does not make one the most talented.  I'm not saying he is not, I am saying that the fact that he is famous does not make him talented.  While I like his shina book; I don't like his TaiChi.  I prefer my unknown teacher's TaiChi teachings...

quote:Only recently did the Group say that now the Crystal kids are starting to enter.

That's dated from 2002...  So, if they started to enter in 2002, the oldest one should be 1 year and a few months old...

[instantly]

My lucid dreams tend to be way too short too; like an average of 1mn... []  Then, I instantly (in a few ms) wake up.  No nice fading away period that would give me enough time to try to lengthen it...

The best I had was maybe 5mns long...  what a shame!  [:I][][]

I guess it must be a mix of lack of energy and power of concentration.  Or maybe a too strong "conscious mind"...

I experience a lot the consciousness problem with being unable to take off or to fly high...  But, my head problem seems a lot different!  It's not really a vibration; it was going to EXPLODE!  [:O][|)]  It was more like trying to go through some kind of "barrier"...

Personaly, I don't like to have to rely on external factors (machines, drugs, etc...) to achieve something...  I want to be able to only rely on myself.  A bit like cheating at school.  I never did cheat at school.  Of course, I did not do as good as the cheaters, but...  I feel more free...

I saw it too but, after a few minutes, my brain gave up on all the philosophical stuff... [][]

Otherwise, you have also "Vanilla Sky"...  I've been told that the old version was much better than the one with Tom Cruise...

I did some "gygmnastic" yoga; mostly stretshing stuff...  It was ok, except that I am not very flexible, so it was quite frustrating to be the only one not being able to touch his feet!!! []  And there were too many woman... I got scared... [:I][]  Also, there are "many" different types of Yoga: stretshing, breathing, holding postures, a mix of all...

I personaly prefer TaiChi... even if I am not really that fond of the martial aspect of it.  I mainly do it for fitness and energy raising/refining...  I also find it maybe a bit more balanced that other types of energy works; since you train your body too.  But it seems difficult to find a good TaiChi school these days, since many so called "masters" (some after 1 or 2 years of practice!) modified it so that it's not too demanding for the old people or made an external version of it...  By example, my teacher learned for 15 years before opening his school...

I like TaiChi because it's physical/energetical/cardio exercises...  Of course, I am talking about "real" TaiChi, the martial art; not the "tofu"-style versions modified for grandpa and grandma...  I can tell you that people sweat a lot in my school!  []

I would understand whispy as translucid; and legit would mean "real".
There's one theory about the melting hands or in fact any part of your body...  Your subconscious created a body for you, but your conscious knows that you have no body.  So the later tends to erase what the former created...

I have the same problem with Mozilla (Netscape is based on Mozilla)...
The drop-down menus don't work...

Don't worry, you won't be the last; I will be right behind you...  [|)]

It would be nice if people did not talk too much about what modifications they did to the island so that other people won't be influenced by that...  It's a lot more interesting/amazing when people can tell what you did while you kept it secret.  What do you think about that?

[theories]

I am an atheist too!  []

Hum, sort of... I don't believe in all the many different gods/demons theories out there, but I believe something created and control the universe.  All these god as an old man with a white bear, all white dressed winged angels living in a fluffy paradise...  Or godesses with 6 arms and 4 legs...  or gods with animals heads... Sorry, too much for me... []

I met many "demon" looking things in my experiences, but they all ended up looking more like hungry wild animals, just like if you run into an hungry very intelligent/sneaky lion... or lawyer! []

Notice, I don't say they are all wrong (even if only 1 can be true, or maybe a mix).  I just say that I refuse to take any religion created by humans as the truth...  I will create my own personal belief system based on my interpretation of my own experiences.  It will be long and maybe hopeless but... that's the only true solution for me.  Maybe I will do the wrong interpretation (like some or all the religions did apparently), but that's life...  Maybe we just can't and will never be able to understand anything!

I still have problems with some concepts: who created the guy who created the universe?  And who created the guy who created the guy who created the universe?  etc... [])

Hum... for me, using shrooms is like having sex while being drunk (maybe not the best example but I can't find another one []).  You might not get much out of your experience...  Also, some people think that it's too strong on the body...

So, my advice: take your time; don't try to rush...

I tried to reach API too; 3 times in a row, but I always got to another island with a big harbor with many boats...  []  I guess my focusing was not good; I was visualizing the sea and then looked for the island...  Next time, I will try to focus directly on the pyramid+island.

[one]

Hum... what could I say...  First, I am not a believer.  As I said in another thread, there is one truth and many different interpretations of that truth...  So which interpretation is correct?  Maybe none is...  At one point almost all humanity believed the earth was flat, that the sky was another sphere with millions of little holes, that the sun was rotating around the earth, etc...

I especially don't like the whole angels/demons/satan thing...  For me, it's like UFOs...  For many people, the only way "aliens" could come here is by using machines.  That's so "limited human thinking".  Are there really evil entities out there?  Is the wolf evil when he kills and eat a deer?  Are we evil when we kill and eat animals/plants?  I just think that it's a cruel world out there, that's all.

Personaly, I try to start from scratch (no beliefs) and just build from my experiences... But of course, my own interpretation of my experiences can be wrong too!  Anyway, some believe that we will never be able to really understand what's out there...
