Hi everyone,
I admit that I have not done my homework, I tend to get involved in a few posts and read them through, then respond impulsively. I do have a friend that
picks apart everything I used to say/write, I found it exasperating, and just downright hard to connect to him, but it has at times pushed me to be more
careful, edited even, when I interact with him. Maybe thats good, but when you are trying to connect and open your heart center, it just seems kinda borrish.
Toltechie, thanks for letting me know what you practice to deal with the FI, the dreaded flyer, and it let's me know that I am on the same sort of path
as well. I practice meditation, self/inquiry and the who am I.. a la Sri Ramana Marharshi, as well as Taoist based breathwork from Mantak Chia's work,
the Microcosmic Orbit. I don't care for Tensegrity as I perfer yoga and get better results, and I am questioning the recapitulation, is it really valid?
Thanks as well Grandspeculator, I will look into the yoga Nidra as I am not familar with it.
I am confused about the flyer because of my background....I was a psychology major before the art thing and also focused on Carl Jungs work(and did the
analysis thing) and studied it for a long time, so I have at the base of everything a stucture of the psyche and ego from that. I was way into Tibetan
Buddhism after that and during, this is another way I think. Then I steeped myself in Castaneda's work, and I was aware that he had many detractors, and
have read a good deal from Sustained's website, but I always held off reading Amy Wallace's book, now I am in the middle of it and my bubble is
bursting, I am floating to the ground, and I am feeling ...well just bitchy, it has overtaken my mood. (I think because I hate the whole cult thing) I am
also feeling more grounded than ever, this has led me to see how I have compartmentalized all these teachings, and I am just trying to put it all together. I
feel a tremdous urge to combine these three teachings, and the flyer is confusing to me because I am trying to put it in its place, is it the ego, is it
inside of us or outside, etc...that is my confusion among many at this restructuring time. I am just glad that I am intuitive enough to be doing the same
sort of practices that you guys do. Also, since reading the Amy Wallace book, and having a huge resistance to the recapitulation, I am wondering if this is a
valid teaching, or some of his abberated personality, I just don't see it in anyone elses teachings.

Hi Artwarrior.
You are on solid ground. Kudos for that. I'll suggest you further, since you are open to it:
1. Add to your microcosmic orbit mantras (aka kriya yoga). It's more powerful in that way. Any mantra that
resonates with you will do: For instance: Om Namah Shivaya.
Om Namah up the spine... Shivaya down the front... followed by meditation. More detailed info in Ennio Nimis's book. Learn about it here: http://sorcery.yuku.com/topic/1565
2. Yoga Nidra is Dream Yoga or Yoga by means of Sleep. I wrote a post about it here, with a free guided (basic) yoga
nidra session: http://sorcery.yuku.com/topic/1627
3. I read somewhere that you had sporadic connections with Ramana Maharshi, am I right? Suggestion? Love him... intend
loving him. Love will bring you closer to him.
4. Recapitulation is very valid and necessary... but unpleasant. To understand it better you could read Dianetics, by
Hubbard (founder of Scientology). A more... pleasant approach are the Soul Star Techniques: http://www.soul1.org
5. As a final note I recommend a method of basic meditation that I see extremely effective to fix the issue of inner dialogue, by Aurobindo: http://sorcery.yuku.com/topic/1632
There are no satisfactory explanations really... only ways to know. I'm sure that you will do fine, if you intend it.
