Hi - DKSprocket - I live in Sydney so yeah I would be interested in finding networking groups out here or anyone interested in more firewalking, with Anthony Robbins or without him.
The mental state I was in during the firewalk was the most intense experience of my life. All I could see was white light. I was absolutely ecstatic and walked the fire again and again. There was a sense of absolute invincibility and alignment with the great creative force that flows in the universe. I felt that my true self came out - the part that is immortal and beyond ego and beyond the petty problems of this one life. It was nothing less than a full blown religious experience and I can't get enough of it - it's completely addictive.
What is interesting is how firewalking is a part of most ancient cultures. Even in medieval Europe, firewalking or associated tests of faith involving fire were commonly used before the advent of Christianity, when it was banned as a pagan practice. Sometimes they used red hot chains, ploughshares, or pulled stones out of boiling water barehanded. Typically it was used a test of truth, for there is no way that a guilty person could summon up that kind of pure energy to protect themselves from burning.
I've heard of evangelical Christian groups dancing with rattlesnakes and drinking lye in the Appalacian mountains - has anyone ever experienced that?
As for Tony Robbins - why are his prices to high? It seems a bit exploitative to charge the cost of a car for a couple of seminars; and no one should be pitched to while they are in an altered state and unable to make a balanced decision - it's like getting someone drunk and then making them gamble on roulette with their credit cards.  |
