Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Hi Jeff, Energy tends to move in a figure 8. You could say that the figure 8 is one of the building templates of energy itself. A lot of energy wants to flow like a figure 8. And this has been known for many ages. You can see it in Egyptian Iconography. You can see it from Tai Chi practitioners. I've even noticed this principle put to work in Freemasonry. As an aside, I remember this one episode where Aleister Crowley is interrogating a Martial Spirit. He asked it what the perfect number was. The Spirit did not want to reply. AC forced the matter, and the Spirit admitted it was the number 8. The octave is important in nature. Weaving figure 8's, I think, just naturally amplifies and helps things along.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Well, let me start with what I " know " and then go to what I " think " based on how the drills " feel " . The figure 8 is one of the basic building blocks of the energy system. There are the larger figure 8's, and the smaller figure 8's (sometimes called " fairy flows " ). The figure 8's can create healing in the energy system and fixes ruptured or " broken " energy flows. It can be used to fix the Basic Grid. I'll stop there with that, because I don't know much about Grid. I know Doc did leave some notes out on the tables at the seminar in the books for people to browse. You got to ask yourself " What's important for me to know, " and then you go take action on it. It's so funny because one of his " books " was a cardboard Priority Mail flat rate envelope cut into " covers " and then notebook sheets and copies and printed materials bound into the cardboard with plastic comb binders. He obviously cared very much to put it in a sturdy cover to PRESERVE the knowledge, and he is more concerned with utility and purpose and knowledge than with how good the cover looks. I Learned a whole lot just from that! How many people saw his notes in a plain cardboard " binder? " and went " Pfft! That's not a book. That's just some stuff there... " Secrets HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT. Meaning they were out in the open in " plain sight " AND they were very, VERY " plain " and " unordinary " sights to look at. Almost like something most people would consider " trash " . And inside was buried treasures. Including HAND-WRITTEN notes. I found TOP-NOTCH SKILLS in that book. ANd I'm going to steal a language pattern about things that come in plain, ordinary packaging that you might not otherwise pay attention... I wrote down LOTS of names of books. I took lots of notes on other stuff I knew I " couldn't " otherwise get my hands on. (either because of " prerequisites " or because of " out of print, no longer available " or because of some other reasons.) (OH GOD! How I wanted to use the copy machine! But I learned more writing it in my own notes, with my own hand, than if I had " cheated " anyways...) And the notes gave clues to things I wanted to know. (on MANY topics) And in other places, I got exact word-for-word answers to things important for me to know. And I still don't really KNOW the answers for " Grid " stuff, so I'll stop there with that point. Now in Donna's book, she talks about the different types of chakra connections that are possible, for example, during sex. I know that sometimes when I am around someone, I get a feeling in my 2nd chakra where my 2nd chakra connects with their 2nd chakra, and I get a sense of the basic goodness of that person. This is rare, at least to my awareness. Other times, I'll feel a root chakra connection or sometimes a PAIN in the root chakra when the person has lots of rage in their root chakra (different than 3rd chakra rage). Now notice that the third chakra has to do with will power and " writings on the wall " and beliefs programmed in about what is right and wrong and what is " me " and " not me " . Donna, I think, describes it as a " parent " over the 2nd chakra, and sometimes people get cut off between the 2nd and 3rd chakras. Well, we have the 3rd chakra as " feelings " about right and wrong, good and bad, pre-programmed beliefs that we grew up with. And that energy rises into the heart chakra, which is the other emotional chakra. Now I don't know the " REAL " answser, so if someone does, I want to know, too. I know it FEELS different doing the figure 8's between two people and their emotional chakras vs just doing straight lines. When I feel their heart energies in my third chakra where I have beliefs about " right and wrong " and " bad feelings " and " good feelings " I get a better idea of how to connect with their heart. I feel out their heart energies, so to speak, and then I raise those energies (her heart combined with my solar plexus energies) into my own heart, and I feed back that energy connection into HER solar plexus chakra. Yes, I know you start it the other way, your energies in to her energy field. I explained it the way I did because I'm explaining the feelings I feel from my own perspective when I do that. Another important thing is that when you do the heart to heart and solar plexus to solar plexus you don't get the same kind of quality of feedback. What I mean is this: When I do the figure 8's, I get a better feeling of how that connection affects HER energy body AND MY energy body. I get feedback on whether the connection is one I should pursue further, and if so, to what extent. I do not get that feedback when I just connect my heart to her's and my solar plexus to her's. It doesn't " flow " properly between us. But it does with the figure 8's, and I get a better idea of what kind of connection I do or do not want to have. I don't know if that helps any or not. Now as for it being more " difficult " to do in a conversation with someone, two things come to mind: 1) what I already said about feedback about the connection 2) practice it more. Stand at home and imagine talking with someone, and as you talk out loud to them, as you imagine them there, weave the energies PHYSICALLY with your hands, in a figure 8 between you and them. Then it will be much easier to " imagine it " or to trace it with your eyes " or to use gestures. ALSO, this is IMPORTANT!: When you get the video from the seminar, I don't remember if it was John or someone else, but I think it was John, did a partial trace of the heart energy, and as he traced up and then down, on the downward motion, he moved his hands OUT as if to the other person. Practice doing that Care Bear Heart in a way that WEAVES THAT energy between the two of you instead of just tracing yours and tracing hers. Damn, I recoginzed that right as soon as he did it, because it reminded me of when Annette did something similar a couple of years ago. And I completely forgot about it until I was typing this post. So thanks for the question! I'm going to go practice that now. Hope these answers help some. Sincerely, Jim stuydaze <stuydaze Nov 3, 2005 3:13 PM Figure " 8 " ? I've come across the " figure 8 " heart-charger in a couple of different places (the Silva materials, Jim' excellent materials & this list, of course). Lots of other sources talk about connecting heart-to-heart or 3rd chakra-to-3rd chakra with a straight line, a circle, a golden cloud, etc. What's the advantage of the figure 8? It seems to be much harder to feel & vizualize, especially during a conversation. Cheers, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Lot's of good practical information here from Jim. I would also point out, as taught to me by Doc, one can very easily trace sideways figure 8's during a conversation with another. You really don't even have to disguise it. The gesture is quite natural. One has only to develop the habit of using such gestures. You see people using them all the time unconsciously. I see this personally with speakers in front a crowd, time and time again - or even conductors of an orchestra. Also, it's funny. I did a similar thing at one of Doc's seminars. At break time there was a list of books right where he was presenting. I copied all of them down. Must have been a coincidence. Anthony On Saturday, November 5, 2005, at 03:01 AM, James R.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 >You can see it from Tai Chi practitioners. - Anthony: You are correct, of course, and this is an expansion upon this part of your statment. " As above; So below; Everything is circle(s) " . Everything, IN BALANCE, has a still balance point, where the equal but opposite forces meet and connect. In Mandarin the word " Chuss " is identical for Eight and for Fortune [luck] therefore number Eight is a lucky symbol. The ideogram for eight is not the same as our number but the fact that the Phonecian alphabet chose this symbol for that particular number is interesting don'tcha think? In Physics a horizontal figure eight, slightly flattened, is the symbol for infinity. A figure eight is in perfect balance as a 2 dimensional symbol and when you can feel it in three dimensions, circle becomes SPHERE and that is a quantum leap* in conscious experience. *Quantum Math starts at quark [1], to yin/yang [2], to the 2 dimensional compass directions [ 4 ]. to Three dimensions [ 8 ] and here you are 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888\ 8888888888888888888888888888888.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Hey Jim, Damn you're good... What I GET about figure 8's is that they are an equal and equivalent flow of energy, whether internal or external. The different feeling I receive when doing straight lines is because that is a flow FROM going TO. Likewise a circular flow is an UP to DOWN or RIGHT to LEFT or CLOCKWISE to COUNTERWISE flow, which would have a completely different intent and effect, consciously or unconsciously. All this can be verified with drills and testing. Hmmm... What other kinds of flows are there? Simultaneous? Bursts? Stars? Novas? Projected Energy Balls? (Or is that a straight line flow?) Good stuff. -Mark P.S. Jim, it's really cool to watch you grow into your own power. Just f**king amazing. , " James R.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Jeff, Jim and All, Jim thanks for the good information on figure 8's. Here is a little more on the effectiveness of using them and a possible answer to your question of why it feels different doing figure 8's verse a straight line. The figure 8 or the lazy 8 was introduced as the western sign for infinity officially in 1655 by John Wallis, it is a western version of the Yin Yang Mandala or eastern symbol of infinity. It is meant to depict the two traditional types of complementary principles from which all things are supposed to come from, i.e. Yin and Yang, whirling within an eternally turning circle representing the primordial void (the Tao). Side note: Satanist claimed the lazy 8 as one of their symbols and yet the use of it has outgrown any one group. A figure 8 was even found on the cross of Saint Boniface (bishop and martyr, English apostle of Germany, né Winfrid c.675-755). One reason figure 8's, as Jim pointed out, are so effective as a basic building block in the energy system, is using them helps align, integrate, and/or harmonize polarities that have gotten out of alignment. Any form of connecting, straight line, circle, golden cloud can be useful. However it seems from testing the figure 8 seems to do better. From a Yin-yang perspective a straight line represents yang energy only. The figure eight represents both polarities, yin and yang. The process is to get the energy flowing where yin-yang are flowing as one vs separately or individually. Because in actuality they are one and the same just different perspectives. It's the difference between trying to buy something with only the front side of a dollar or buying something with both the front and back sides aligned and integrated. Where many traditions refer to balancing of yin yang or energies it is more useful to refer to aligning, integrating, and/or harmonizing the flow of yin yang or energy. As Einstein said nothing happens until something moves. Energy wise the figure 8 stands for the combining of both sides of ________ (anything). The specific yin-yang you are flowing will depend on your intention or your segment intending.
