Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Paraliminals, Paraliminal Resets, Paraliminal Walkabouts, Natural Brilliance, Sonic Access FEEL THE POWER! - Part 5

My thoughts were more in the direction of pursuing my passions. Theatre and psychology. Double major if I can manage, and I believe I can.

My problem is that I like money. There is not much money in theatre. Movie stardom, yes, but that would take a lot more focused energy than I think I would be willing to take away from other pursuits. When I went to my photoreading seminar in October, I met this one guy who openned up a lot of possiblities for me. This guy, only 22 had driven about 20 hours straight to get to North Carolina from Montreal. He was a high school drop-out, but had a job in real-estate. OK, he was strange, but nothing outstanding. Then he tells us one day at lunch that he just happened to make some $750,000 by age 18. In a year and a half he went from $3,200 an uncle left him to 3/4 of a million dollars. But he then made a few bad investments and lost his confidence and then gave the rest of his money to a con artist who was later assinated in the Caribbean by someone he should not have scammed. But as it turns out, this young man, age 18, lost a million dollars. He is now in debt $200,000, but only because he lost faith in himself. He still owns a bunch of property, but the banks are keeping a tight watch on him. Now to my point. He did all this with no traditional business knowledge, no formal schooling, not even a high school degree. He read a lot of books. He read a lot of -good- books. But unlike the million of other people that read all these money making books, he actually did something with this information. I racked his brain and got what I could. I personally would say that if you want to make money, lots of money, buy the book "Building Wealth" by Russ Whitney. Over the christmas break, I'm going to sit down with my brother, who is not a minor, and work out what exactly we are going to do to make the money we want. I have a year and a half to decide if I even want to bother with college, which I probably do, but I wouldn't rule out any possibilities at this time.

Anyway, I need to get on to my next post , so enjoy.

Economically speaking, ther are two kinds of people in this world. Those that make thier lifestyles fit thier budget, and those that make thier budget fit thier lifestyle .

I want to be in the second category. There are many roads to take to get to the same place, It's only a matter of deciding where you want to go, then plot the course and keep to it. Good luck in the process.

Brian, I am still checking out the page you asked me to look at. Please be patient, I should have the review finished in the next two days. Sorry for the delay.

Back soon,
Gregory

Don’t just take Napoleon Hill’s word for it...Ask Master Chunyi Lin. (really objective sources, I know!) You spend all this time storing chi in your tan tien, the seat of your spiritual power, then you go blow it all.... But you know, everything in life has its place. It’s nice to be a mindless beast sometimes—especially while still young!

I've just been exhausted lately (past six months) and after sleep, anywhere from 5 to 14 hours, I still feel drained.

How’s the diet, exercise, sleep, and meditation habits? 10 to 1, the problem and solution lies therein!

I think I might have to try out the bwgen sometime to see what you've been raving about.

oh yeah!—it’s even better than mind machines, because it plays up to 10 simultaneous binaural beats. Man, some of those settings are really funky. Plus, it is fun as hell to explore the inner realms of the mind—you feel like a pioneer, an explorer—it’s the best. Truly.

Now, talking about this third eye, it is one of the chakra point, the Ajna.

If you could, tell me some more about the third eye chakra—I know absolutely nothing about it! Does it give me special powers? like X-ray vision?

4. Turiya (conscious dreamless sleep?)

COOL! Yes, Delta meditation—4 hz and below. Did you know that the Aborigines think it queer that we Normals dream while we’re sleep? It’s true. They don’t see how we can get any sleep at all if we are constantly dreaming. They don’t dream in their sleep. They dream during the day…… ahhh connections!!!

So without the benefit of your delta meditation, how do I go about starving my brain of theata waves while getting my dose of delta and not end up hallucinating during school?( as much fun as that is.)

There’s really only two MAIN things that you notice as far as weird mental states: Complete lack of self-consciousness and peak creativity. Absence of tiredness. There are also the latent psychic abilities that come to the fore. (I think)

And you don’t hallucinate that often. When you do, you can instantly recognize it as such. In the dining hall the other day, I saw a dog right in front of me, barking viciously for a brief second. Then, at 4ish AM the other night, in the mirror I saw a black-robed figure walk around the back of me. Freaked the living crap out of me, actually. “I see dead people”.

Brian, Please be patient.

Sure thing!

Diet? ...no diet. hungry often, but when I sit down to eat, I can rarely finish without feeling sick to my stomach.

Exercise? ...a bit of exercise, I go to my ninjutsu classes about four times a week. Stopped my weight lifting after I moved back from Brazil six months ago. I bought a used treadmill, but it's broken And I have that rebounder set up, but haven't felt like I've had time to use it.

Sleep? ...lots of sleep. Usually about 7-8 hours each night, many times much more, very few times less.

Meditation? ...I was doing a bit of the kundalini yoga meditation, but I gave up (a reaccuring theme for me) after I would sit there for 20 mins, trying to remain motionless and of focused breathing, but my mind wanders too much. I was trying to stick with it, but after missing a few sessions, it just got phased out.

Doubtlessly, there is great area for improvement in my living habits. I think it comes down to a pile of doubts and a tad of learned helplessness. Unforunately But forunately, I know how to change it But unforunately I sabotage myself and procrastinate and flat out don't do the things I know will get me to the places I want to be. This one book I've been working with, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers, is very good, and should help me out quite a bit. Even just mulling over the ideas makes a positive difference.

Well, I'll respond to the rest of your post tomorrow, or later tonight, I've got to study for my Latin exam. It is very fun, but lots of work. I really need to master the principles of LS. And mnemonics. Mnemonics would help a whole lot.... oh yeah.

Vale, mi amice!

Arg, I studied for so long, I can not believe I did that bad. This really does it for me. Traditional studying methods are throughly useless. Any one got suggestions for working through all the memorization in Latin? Or any other language for that matter.

---Then, at 4ish AM the other night, in the mirror I saw a black-robed figure walk around the back of me.---

Whoa, sounds like fun. That would freak me out, most definately.

So, you want to know about the third eye chakra, do you? I don't know if you can handle it. OK, in Barbara Ann Brennan's "Hands of Light," the forehead center chakra has to do with our ability to visualize and comprehend concepts. That was kind of useless. Back to John Mumford's "A Chakra & Kundalini Workbook."

"The Sanskrit word 'Ajna' means 'command center,' that place where we worship with our consciousness the Guru-Atman, or highest self, and receive instruction. The element asscociated with Ajna is Manas, or 'mind-stuff,' the very energy of consciousness. The Bija mantra is the 'lost word' OM, and the yantra symbolizing Ajna is a winged globe, and emblem of the imagination which can 'fly' anywhere, beyond limitations of space and time. (p. 161)"

Not that much more background on it, just exercises to work on. He did mention that it is better to meditate on the head chakras after opening up the lower chakras first.

Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!
To rebirth!

For instance, the Spanish word for wrist is muneca. I heard the "Moo" in muneca and thought cow. I imagined a tiny cow on my wrist. To this day (20 years later), I still remember what muneca means. I should have applied that to all the words, but I got lazy. It's more work upfront but it makes links that are hard to erase.

Just a couple of comments about the info presented.
1.) The average diet of Americans is horrendous; too much fat, sugar, protein, caffein, alcohol, and not enough fruits and vegies. I agree with that as does most any dietician in America.
2.) Tony says that you want to avoid becoming TOO acidic. I couldn't find anywhere that he recommends becoming alkaline. I agree that you want to have the correct pH in your body which is 7.4 and acidosis is much more common than alkalosis. Before you start trying to change your pH one way or the other, read on.
The people that become acidic or alkaline usually have some serious health problems (usually with thier metabolism). The healthy human body will maintain the normal pH in order to regulate the chemical reactions your body needs for normal functioning. It does this primarily through breathing (respiratory system). If the pH of your body changes by as little as .2, your body will automatically change its function to return to 7.4. If the body stays in an acidic or alkaline state {for whatever reason} for a prolonged period of time, the kidneys become involved and secretes the excess chemical (either hydrogen in acidosis or sodium bicarbinate in alkalosis). The body then returns to 65-75% normal in 1-6 days even if the persons breathing is still poor (page 449-450 "Textbook of Medical Physiology" 7th edition by Guyton, published 1986). When the body is in alkalosis neuronal excitability greatly increases (nerves becoming much more sensitive) while acidosis has the opposite effect [page 449, 560-561 of above text]. In other words; in alkalosis, your muscles start to go into spasms (and other nerves with other functions undergo increased activity as well [such as pain nerves]). If severe enough your diaphragm becomes affected leading to the inability to breathe at which point you start pushing up daisies . Acidosis has the effect of slowing down the nerves and if severe enough you go into a coma. Alkalosis decreases breathing rates and acidosis has the opposite effect [page 449 of above text].If you want to check your body pH you will need to go to the hospital and ask. (They may or may not comply with your request without a doctor ordering the test.) The human body is an INCREDIBLE, self repairing, adaptable machine and can adapt in ways that are not yet understood or even known.
3.) Americans are too sedentry as Tony rightly states.
4.) If you exercise properly (including BOTH aerobic and anaerobic activities) your breathing and oxygen intake will mostly take care of itself.
5.) If you elliminate all meat from your diet I suggest you add vitamine B12 and Lipoic acid (thank you whatthe222 ). I prefer to include meat in my diet rather than rely on synthetic supplements. Now, thats not to say that all synthetic supplements are ineffective or bad or that your are wrong for doing so. I just prefer to get as much of my dietary requirements from my food as I can rather than through supplements.
6.) I'm not sure I agree with the "Living Water" concept. This is the first time I heard of it and haven't made the time to research it (I probably won't as there are many other things I am doing right now and don't want to dedicate the time involved.)
7.) I also don't know about not drinking during meals. This is the first time that I've heard this as well. I'm not sure what to think of this as I would need to research this as well.

Overall I think the concepts that Tony puts foreword are time honored and valid; anaerobic and aerobic exercise, more fruits and vegies, less fat and protein, drink more water, stay away from alcohol and caffein... Mostly old information in a new package (in my opinion).

The only thing that one really needs to remember is that too much of anything will kill you. For example: did you know that breathing pure oxygen can lead to convulsions and even death (page 499-500 of above text)?

If you are trying to change your pH level to something other than 7.4, you will not be successful. There are three buffer systems in your body that are present to regulate rapid pH changes and there are two systems set up to regulate the overall pH of your body. Let your body work as it has been designed. It's a beautiful machine .

I hope you found the information I have provided useful and helpful. Let me reiterate that I am not attacking any individuals or thier beliefs in the information or statements that I have provided in this post. I have provided factual information and added my own opinions or preferrances in certain places.

So Brian, now that you have my opinion, if you have any other questions just ask.

Tim/with/a/t, did you experience the problems with your diet after your visit to Brazil? If you were in the jungle down there and these changes are recent (like in the last 6 months) you may want to go to an MD who is trained in tropical diseases as you may have unknowingly picked up a nasty bug while you were down there. Just a place for you look if you run out of other options.

Sincerely,
Gregory

Until next time, gentlemen.

One concern of mine was about what to be thinking about while listening to the tapes. The little info sheet they give with each tape says not concentrate on every word that Paul is saying, but to just relax and enjoy the process. But I seem to have my mind wandering all over the place, not doing what is suggested by Paul. Should I really be getting into the whole visualizing and imagining all the details or just let it do its work passively?

Sunshine, lolipops and rainbows....
