While Kao presents us with alchemy, which I feel is just way too much for me at present to deal with, also because I am situated more towards straight edge on a certain scale than many magicians (and that proved to be good for me), I hope this thread about a seemingly much more fluffy and simple topic can coexist. Yes, it’s fluffy – Fluffy the white light butterfly – seemingly.

I have made a decision today which affects my everyday life. Because since November part of my everyday life was doing the Five Tibetans. Five simple exercises sometimes considered similar to Yoga exercises. My decision now is to stop doing them as I have done several times in my life. Actually the last months were the longest time I ever kept up that routine.

Now, well, why? There’s this subtle – no actually not very subtle, but in some ways very concrete sensation that I have by now gone up through the roof which makes the pidgeons shit on my head and basically estranges me from everyone else in the house. Many, let’s say, "Karma" patterns got activated and are now very obtrusive demanding I experience them. Just to use words to describe it, I would say the Five Tibetans heavily accelerate Karma, whatever Karma really is – structurally or phenomenologically. Which means in any case you are through with it earlier if you do such an exercise.

You know I feel on the edge and I am not happy with it.

Another thing one could say – just as a model! – is that the Five Tibetans increase you energy level. Doing them daily you just don’t notice that, it happens gradually, rather slowly. But if you have done it for a while and think back to what you were like shortly before you started, you’re gonna see, you’re almost someone entirely else, but neither worse nor better, just all more intensive. It also helps you get things done it seems.

And it’s also like your "energy level" is heightened for at least several years after you have done it for a while. The first time I tried the Five Tibetans in 1996 – just for a few weeks if I remember it correctly – brought about the most important insights/experiences in my life, an improvement of my life over years and opened the way out of an unbearable state, but that way was still to go.

If you do this exercise for a while, it’s like pulling a glider with continuous force until it’s up and can just fly effortlessly. I wanna get back to normal tempo and if it’s like I observed several times in connection with the Five Tibetan routine, there are gonna be interesting years coming.

I used to have a tendency to miss that there are kinds of magic that can be very slow. I find everyone who does magic for some years should sometimes look at his own biography and examine what has changed over the course of years.

I mean lately I couldn’t even think of stopping the routine anymore. But if I look back I know from experience that that has never been a bad decision. Mabye the goal I didn’t know was really that in the end it has lead me to Vajrayana.

It is often suspected that the Five Tibetans are a hoax. But if we know something from Chaos than it’s that that doesn’t matter. I once mentioned the Five Tibetans are very well known in Germany and for some reason people who do them all say there is something to it, though they disagree about the effects (from "It’s so good for my back" and "If you apply that upward position that comes back to you from society" to "This way I am not a slave to my sex drive anymore.") Just, if Yoga and Tai Chi Chuan have results, why shouldn’t the Five Tibetans.

I’ll see if there will be more to say on the subject, soon.

gibberish:

During lunch break, not at any specific time of the day, just during lunch break you probably encounter hostile balloons. The ritual consists of popping as many of those as you can. Balloons are stupid. They don’t listen to what you say and don’t know what you have learned. You should swear to yourself firmly you do this during your next lunch break.

comment:

This should not be seen as fact or belief, which would be paranoid and dangerous, but it can well be confused with illusion.

results:

From my experience this ritual results in peace of mind first of all, and then liberation and improvement of the personal situation and even healing, all that over a long time, and also spiritual development.

I am proud to announce publicly that the beta website: http://beta.kiamagic.com is very nearly finished being tested.

This means this forum, and all current blog history from the current KIA site will be lost, so I am advising everyone to back up all threads they want copies of. Maybe repost the best ones on the beta, or the new upgraded site after May 1st. But I won’t be exporting posts from this old site to the new.

The wiki however is safe. I have in fact already upgraded it, and I ask that all edits to the wiki, especially file uploads, are done via the beta until the new site goes live. I’m not sure the current wiki is even working properly anyway.

Further minor improvements will be made after the official launch, but right now I just getting it in a good shape for launch. I hope everyone agrees it is a massive improvement on what we have now…

I’m not sure what version of the KIA website we are on now.  But let me have a think about it…

KIA Mk1: A flat html website with an external yahoo group. (From around 2001)

KIA Mk2: A flat html website with an external forum.  Yahoo group still running alongside.

KIA Mk3: Website hosted its own forum, later added a wiki.

KIA Mk4: The existing website.  Got bogged down in the age of bureaucracy.

That makes this beta, KIA Mk 5!  A return to Discordia!  Welcome to the aftermath!

Anyway, this beta is now fully operational, with forum and wiki.  Still some tweaks to make here and there, but I think we are now more operational than Mk4 ever was…

Launch from beta to live is now immanent!  Look out world!

Hi!
I’ll post this here as the beta forum seems to not have really started off, yet.
Last night I stumbled on certain German web pages while surfing.
Apparently there are new (?) LHP groups in Germany. Just wanna give you these news without any judgment. I can’t see if there might be a hidden agenda involved, just have this first impression.
There’s some project called "Current of Set" which appears to be an active network with regular activities, and then there’s the so called "Janus Institut" presenting itself as an institute for individuation.
Both seem to me somewhat emancipated from former LHP groups, here there’s no bureaucracy, membership fees or hierarchies involved – at leats that’s what they say. The "Janus Institut" page shows very Discordian tendencies and a close link to the "Current". I appreciate that there’s an understanding of Jung and Sartre shown openly by both projects – finally!
I don’t feel much in need of making any contact as I kind of made my way with reading and applying certain classics that a mythological version of might not be necessary.
I just thought I’d tell you these news in case you’re interested in what’s going on.

My learning process is based on the assumption that the unconscious processes of the mind do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to learning. To take advantage of this I have crafted a four phase cycle of learning. Those phases are saturate, incubate, systemize and apply. Ideally what you are learning is a [...]

A mighty big Happy April Fools day to all you Children of the Apple out there! Time to release another chapter of Liber Malorum!! This chapter, Frewella Grove was written by good friend and fellow big-hearted trouble-maker Henry Lauer. I first met Henry at an convergence of Pagan and Discordian activists in Australia in 2003 and have been good friends ever since.

Frewella Grove will be especially interesting to those who like their magic Northern, and believe in elves…
