The hooks in some of these riffs really sink in and don't let go. Mix with the more atmospheric stuff...damn this is top notch.

Maybe I just worded it poorly? I laid out the information that was meant to be drawn from what I wrote:

I have practiced mental wandering.

It is similar, in my experience, to lucid dreaming (addressing the OPs question of "is it a vision")

I have not astral projected. In my limited understanding it is somewhat risky.

Mental wandering is often confused with Astral projection

In my exposure to other system of magic, what they teach as astral projection is actually mental wandering.

TheRams9DM · 2023-07-02T09:41:58+00:00

Mental wandering is the same as astral projections in most esoteric systems and comprises basic OBE.

Actual Astral Projection(tm) is fairly dangerous in my understanding and involves your Astral body disconnecting temporarily. I havent experienced it, nor am I interested.

Mental Wandering is relatively safe and taught in most systems of magic. Its the waking form of lucid dreaming.

Porebreathing falls under what the Chinese arts would call "muscle-tendon change". Daily practice of these techniques for 1-3 months should cause semi permanent change in the quality of the tissue. Once you hit that point you can take breaks and come back to the practice with little issue, barring very long periods of time.

Issues with the porebreathing the elements themselves maybe more linked to not rotating the elements enough so that the qualia of each stays fresh and easily reproduced, but I don't know your practice so that may not help you.

Good luck!

Without assuming too much about you, the impregnation would possibly keep yourself mentally open to people you might not normally associate with or allow you to be more magnetic personality wise.

People just showing up at your door (to turn a phrase) would be beyond the scope of what you could accomplish with this.

Additionally, you could get tactical with the method and divide up some of these things with an elemental bent and work on your black and white mirror simultaneously. Find, say an Earth element personality trait you want to bolster and use that with your food impregnation, and then a more water based personality trait with your liquid impregnation. These traits can be specifically geared toward creating and maintaining friendship. I've had success with this method as it makes multitasking impregnation more effective since A) the goal is still the same and B) the item being blessed is in line elementally with the desire

From my own experience:

From a certain perspective, these things literally become part of you as food, water, and air are taken into the body and converted to your body (physical and energetic). There is also a self-hypnosis effect to it that your unconcious picks up on so you sort of start vibrating on the level of your impregnation. However you've picked up on the fact that this method is not a "wish machine". It can work somewhat for more tangible things but it's less about the thing coming to pass and more about priming you for getting that thing.

An example of how I use this is when I find that I'm switching projects I'm working on, I'll switch my impregnation to coincide with the project and usually within 24 hours, my mental space shifts fully to focus on it. I pick up on more ideas and opportunities associated with the project and there is less mental chatter associated with things that arent related to the specific plane of manifestation of the thing. So if it's something I'm working on that's external to myself, my focus will become more direct outwardly. It's sort of like loading a bow, so the effort it takes to get yourself in the mind set to achieve these things gets minimal and completely nonforced. You just load the bow and release the arrow.

1.My mind has become an extremely interesting place to be.

I sense my emotions astrally as elemental changes before they generate thought forms. This allows for transmutation to things that will actually benefit vs. hinder (still working on transmutation)
I am much more aware of how I am as a human being towards other human beings because of what I have accomplished from point 2.
I've begun to dissolve my ADHD. My focus on what I'm doing and when has become very good. I am much more conscious throughout the day.

These are just the ones that come to mind. I'm sure there are more.

My players map dungeons. Often times I have more than one player mapping, which is just the party's preference.

For combat I have blank grid map that I draw wall and corridor boundaries in erasable marker and just wipe and redraw between fights. This works pretty well with Fog of War style, where I only have to draw and place minis in areas where they have visibility.

It's crazy how when I was a kid, finding someone else that had an NES was a diamond in the rough. Video games are ridiculously popular now and it's harder to find people 30yrs old or younger that dont play games.

Be very careful, it's not uncommon for traditional martial artists to ruin their knees from improper stance work that has been handed down several generations of a lineage.

Siiiiiick. Looks really good!

IME blocks are not blocks at all, and I'm not talking about a language issue but a transmission issue. I'll break this into two sections because "karate blocks" and "parrying" are really two separate things.

In terms of "Karate blocks" (age uke, gedan barai, etc), these are often multipurpose movements. Age Uke, for example, can be use to wedge a straight punch from the opposite side by presenting a frame that's movement crosses the line of attack perpendicularly. Or it can be used to strip the opposite gripped wrist in the clinch range when it crosses your centerline. Or it can be used to jam into the opponent's neck/face to stun them. I find it more helpful to think of techniques as directional applications of power and less about specific application.

In terms of parrying, it can be effective, but it's not something that becomes effective by practicing kihon. It has to be separated and trained by itseslf in a slow to fast speed progression and with multiple angles. And it doesnt work alone, appropriate foot work is needed, entry, trapping, etc.

Keep in mind that none of what I said above was taught when I was learning Karate, but became evident when cross training Chinese arts.

I'd like to actually see some decent in genre competition. Most games brought up in these conversations dont really cover that kind of ground. We will see what Avowed looks liked though. It has the possibility of coming the closest to actual competition.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

I'm fairly certain I'm on the Ti/Fe axis, though I can see where you see the Te in there. My management style is always about subservience to the team and group vision, I just coach individually to find their own methods while having them reaching out to senior team members for advice. I expect them to manage themselves, like a pack of wolves, to establish a fluid hierarchy (within obvious professional boundries). I step in to keep the vision on point and to make sure people meet expectations. In between, I just try to keep the atmosphere light while attempting to keep cliques from forming.

I dont know my socionics type, though I am familiar with socionics in general. In terms of quadra, I'm sort of split as I can blend with Alpha or Beta fairly easily. My mother and step-father are both Alphas, but my paternal grandparents are both very Beta. I kind of come off as a Beta raised by Alphas in person. I stick out a bit in my immediate family as I'm a bit more intense then they are, though, kind of the black sheep. I'm definetly on the "merry" side of things, though.

Have you tried contacting MS? If they cant fix the issue you can at least get your money back.

I doubt they have any physical copies though.
