  1. @Carl-Richard Already done and done. Too bad for the forum though, I guess in a year or two you'll have to make a choice. I see it easily enough ending with me; I'm genuinely a busy person, although I see this as a subpar response, I see I'm dealing with two cowards. I don't have the time. If you wanna be stalked - by all means, let it happen until you're absolutely gone mad by it, or transcend it - it's out of my hands - and I don't care either way. We aren't friends, by the way and I'm "not" empathetic, I am a negatively polarized entity, if you have nothing for me, I don't have the time of day. If you betray me due to cowardice on your end, you're expendable. Go suffer, not my problem anymore.
  2. I did what you asked. Easy for me, no problem, but it doesn't solve the rows of asinine comments in my direction that went on all day, does it? I have my own life to attend to and it is not so lenient that I have the time for this nonsense as this user seems to have... day in, day out, day in, day out... Or the stalking the other user has to face? Or even, what about the other, other user? Where is the line even? "Just ignore and it will go away." So what then, when it doesn't and you guys do nothing about it as you so famously do?
  3. @Carl-Richard No dude, it's just easiest for you. You cruise on this forum when there's stuff to be worked through because you can't be bothered. You allow problem users to abuse other members of the forum here time and time again without - what any other proper forum would do - why is that? There's like 15 of you. Dish out the work evenly, then you don't have to be bystanders to abusive behaviour.
  4. @Preety_India You're so vain you probably think this song is about you.
  5. Or... genuinely for anyone else, WHY IS THIS BEHAVIOUR ALLOWED? Over my shoulder, eyes peeking in Analyze my every move, what current state I'm in 'Cause you are colder, than ice on my skin Wanna get that A+, baby, so you take my shit 'Cause I am little, right?

  6. What about stalking? Someone here has been stalking and abusing another member here while pretending to be "a victim" - why has this person not been completely banned from this site yet, for all the issues they have caused... again.. and again, and again, without a single iota of a learning curve? You all just let it slide.
  7. @AtheisticNonduality I feel bad for her, what will she do when she no longer looks 12?...
  8. @Yali Thanks Yali, I appreciate that!
  9. @Leo Gura Have you ever thought of doing a salvia trip report?
  10. It is common to ask, "How do I know that I am not just making all this stuff up? How can I talk with someone who is only a figment of my imagination?" It is nearly impossible to produce anything in the imagination that is not an authentic representation of something in the unconscious, you are talking with your various selves, that is the whole point, the figures are autonomous, this is something we do not want to hear as it is a frightening reality to know that we are not the master of our house. Active imagination does not only have to do with immediate issues in our personal lives, but can also take the form of a mythical adventure, a journey into the archetypal realm, setting foot into a land of evil, taking on a heroic quest to heal the sick and wounded and helping an innocent queen. Each of us has all the great archetypal themes hidden inside, however few of us can actually partake in this great primordial energy within us unlike our primitive ancestors. This kind of active imagination connects us to the timeless cosmic dance of the archetypes that goes on eternally in the unconscious. It is a way of discovering how those universal energies flow through us as individuals and express themselves in a unique and special way within our individual personalities. Jung's technique of amplification helps to interpret these images by using mythological, historical and cultural parallels in order to turn up the volume on the fantasy material. Four-step approach on how to get started with active imagination: *It is important to find a convenient way to record the imagination as it flows out, many give up before they get started because they can't figure this out - your inner dialogue should be written, types or recorded, this is your protection against passive fantasy - the writing will help you remember and digest experience. You should not try to dress up your imagination and make it sound impressive incase someone happens to read or listen and it is something you do for yourself. The goal is to experience and record whatever flows out of your unconscious, honestly, in it's role, spontaneous - there must be a room that is quiet and private enough to shut out the world, a half an hour, and you must be alone without disturbance. You are entitled to that freedom, privacy and security, you need it in order to make your journey into the inner world. You should feel free to let out your raw feelings or emotions without worry. The first step in active imagination: Invite the creatures of the unconscious to come up to the surface and make contact with us. Every interaction helps up to develop the organs of perception of the imaginal world. We often have something vague and invisible in the unconscious that bothers us, we can feel the conflict below the surface, but we can't see what it going on - we can't associate it with anything specific. Some times it is an inexplicable free floating anger, we can't say why we are angry or at what, we just feel it, moods, worries, depressions, inflations and obsessions all come. When this happens you can go to the unconscious in your imagination and ask the unseen content to personify self, you can start your active imagination by asking: Where is the obsession? Who is obsessed? Where does this feeling come from? Who is the one inside me who feels this way? What is it's image? What does he or she look like? If you do this, an image eventually comes into your mind - we invite the inner persons to start the dialogue. By taking our minds off of the external world and focusing on the imagination, we can direct our inner eye to a place inside us, then we wait to see who will show up. To invite the inner figures we need to empty the ego mind, we clear the mind of all thoughts of the external world and simply wait with an allured and attentive attitude to see who or what will appear. If you see someone, you can begin by asking: Who are you? What do you want? What do you have to say? You dialogue begins - surrender yourself to the experience and don't try to control or push the imagination in any direction. If you have fantasy material that has been in your mind all day, you can assume that it is expressing one of the main conflicts where psychic energy is concentrated in you. You can begin by going to that specific place as a starting point for active imagination instead of passively watching the same fantasy repeating over and over, you carry the material forward. You can also start this by embodying one of you inner figures and assume their consciousness, or make you invitation by going to a symbolic place in your imagination. There have been a few days when I walked and walked and almost nothing happened, sometimes you grow weary walking but generally if you go to the inner place and search you'll find someone waiting for you. Jun also found that active imagination could be used for understanding dreams - if you have a recent dream that you recall or a reoccurring dream, you can extend the dream by imagining where it left off and in this manner you can continue and interact with the dream bye extending it out. This is a legitimate process as the dream and imagination come from the same source in the unconscious. It allows you to continue the story and go to the next step the dream is leaning towards and bring the whole issue to a resolution. Dreaming increases when one does active imagination, the issues that would be presented in dreams are confronted and worked out - as such dreams become more focused and concentrated and less repetitious. For dreams to not waste your time, Jung used to describe this method for people who were too overwhelmed by intense and frequent dreams. You have invited the unconscious, the images have risen up into your imagination, now you're ready to begin the second step. Below the willow tree Is where I hide the darkest parts of me They're hiding underneath The broken lies that I just still believe Below the willow tree Is where I sit and hate on my enemies I drown 'em in my dreams I think it's me who needs some humility The dialogue: This is to give yourself over to the imagination and letting it flow, to let the inner figures have a life of their own in your imagination, you begin to talk and interact with beings who answer back. They express different viewpoints from those of your conscious mind. They tell you things you never consciously knew and express thoughts that you never consciously thought. To begin the writing process, the alterations must be noted for they reflect the psychic processes in the unconscious background which appear in the form of images consisting of conscious memory material. In this way conscious and unconscious are united. By focusing on your writing, you concentrate and experience the active imagination more deeply, protection you from wandering off into passive fantasies that creep in from the edges of the mind. Often the inner person will lead you off on a path, if you feel that it is wrong to follow the person you have the right to say so, that in turn will often lead to a heated discussion of the conflict between this inner person and yourself. The dialogue has begun and the different parts of the self are learning from each other. Most people do a fair amount of talking in active imagination, exchanging views and trying to work out opposing views, even asking for advice from some very wise ones who live in the unconscious, however not all dialogue is verbal, it can also take the form of images that speak to you without words. It is important to stick with the image that we start with and not allow one's self to be distracted by other fantasy material. It may take days, weeks or even years for certain fantasy to be resolved, you must be present with your feelings and sense that it is actually happening. You're not merely an observer, but an active participant. Do not try to dominate or manipulate a conversation either, active imagination is a process of listening either to the words or the images. After so many years of ignoring these parts of ourselves, we find they have some unpleasant things to tell us when we finally listen. They may also appear as frightening and threatening; this is your golden shadow which you must wrestle with to find you undiscovered potential. We must turn a friendly face to the unconscious and it is when we listen and give them time to express themselves that we can gain new insights that can be integrated into our conscious life. We know that the mask of the unconscious is not rigid, it reflects the face we turn towards it - hostility lends it a threatening aspect, friendliness softens it's features. The ego is a small island surrounded by deep unseen ocean of energy where huge forces are at work. Active imagination is underwater diving. Though our ego is small, we shouldn't take everything the inner figures say as authority, that will be just as one-sided as our ego centered approach. Active imagination starts out from affirming that the unconscious has it's own wisdom, it should not be confused with guided meditation practice which seeks to program the unconscious so that it will do what the ego wants it to do - there is no script, you will have to go your own way, which is both terrifying and exhilarating. You must ultimately walk the path alone. The values: Ethics means proper conduct, it in tern derives from the Greek word ethos, meaning the essential spirit of a person or people. I It sets limits to protect the imaginative process from being inhuman or destructive. The Universe is awesome and beautiful, but it's forces behave in a way that is amoral. They are not concerned as we are with this specifically human value of justice, fairness, service to our fellow humans. These primitive archetypes serve a realm close to the instincts. The do not have a superego, socially appropriate behaviour. And since the creature who arise in our active imagination and personifications of the impersonal forces of nature, it is we who must bring the ethical into active imagination, but not all archetypes are like this. Some may be concerned with human values, some may be concerned with human values like love and moral responsibility. There is truth and wisdom in every figure that comes to us and they help us compensate the one-sidedness of our ego. It is as much the ego's duty to bring reasonability as it is to tend to the welfare of our fellow humans in the outside world. The images of the unconscious plays a great responsibility upon a man, failure to understand them, shirking our responsibility deprives him of his wholeness and fractions his life. The rituals: To bring the active imagination of the abstract level, we must give it the concreteness of immediate physical experience, the most important step of all is for the images of the unconscious to find their place and purpose in one's outer life. Don't take our conflicts and urges and try to live them out externally or literally by projecting onto external people. For this reason it is important that one should not call to mind the image of those close to us and start talking with that person in one's imagination. It is confusing the inner with the outer reality. If asked the inner figure will almost always cooperate and alter his or her appearance, you can then enter into your dialogue with a clear sense that you are talking with a part of yourself and not an external human being. To incarnate the experience we must do a physical ritual or integrate what we have learned in our daily life. This can be taking time alone to be aware of one's feelings, lighting a candle or incense, walking, reconnecting to the physical world, making it tangible with art, etc. Jun's ritual was the calligraphy and art in the Red Book, which occupied him for many years. He took his communication with the unconscious seriously and valued it greatly. Each ritual must be custom made out of the raw material of your own inner self. Keep your ritual small and subtle and they will be more powerful, the best rituals are physical, solitary and silent, these are the one's that register most deeply with the unconscious. Ritual in it's true form is one of the most meaningful channels for our awe and sense of worship, this is why ritual came spontaneously into being among humans in all parts of the earth - this is why modern people were deprived of meaningful ritual feel a sense of emptiness, they are denied contact with the great archetypes that nourish our soul life.

  12. @Someone here Indeed. People who have a creative side and do not live it out are most disagreeable clients. They make a mountain out of a molehill, fuss about unnecessary things, are too passionately in love with somebody who is not worth so much attention, and so on.
  13. Sex is important - this is coming from someone mostly ace - you can manifest some really wild stuff through orgasm. Also, if you don't embrace it, your second chakra gets all messed up. It's kind of important to let loose and learn as much as you can about your own sexuality. But you can also learn a lot from abstinence as well, depends on where you're at, just don't repress it or it will come up in other ways. If you can't use it, try letting it out creatively.
  14. @Preety_India I have ADD so caffeine, and cacao in general relaxes me. Stimulants make me calm, thoughtful and sometimes sleepy.
  15. @Preety_India We're all a bunch of crazy bishes over here in the U S of A.
  16. Coffee helps me quite a lot, I can't focus well without it. My dad makes the morn. coffee and adds cacao beans to it. Has a slight chocolate-like flavour to it. I drink three to four cups a day. Does terrible things to my heart, but I'm not in this life for length, only knowledge. Whatever works to get what I need intellectually. I'm a witch of gluttony.
