I'd be interesting in catching up with like minded people Hazel. Put me on the list if you get enough interest from others.

CBD is good but Wednesday night is not the best night for me. All other weeknights are fine.

Cheers

Hi Hazel,

Add me to the list with Craig - I dont really mind what day. It'd be great to get a regular Melbourne meet going!

Cheers,
Claire

Tell me about it - everyone i've told about polyphasic sleep, going vegan, not drinking, not being an employee (this one royally pisses people off for some reason) and even waking up early (and i'm scared to even MENTION my subjective reality attempts, ) -- gives me that non-responsive condescending eyebrow raise (then they go sit in front of the TV for the rest of the night, LOL).

It's not exactly casual conversation to respond to "how was your day?" with "oh man! i spent the last few hours journalling, trying to break my beliefs in objective reality and embrace god-consciousness - but I keep falling back into egoic/solipsismic. and my lucid dream analogy toward it seems a little flawed, so i'm trying to figure out another analogy to help me internalise it."

In such a case i'd respond with: "yeah good." LOL

Ain't that the truth! So glad this forum has given us a place to discuss these topics with others who are looking beyond their lounge room for inspiration.
Thanks Steve.

Cheers,
Claire

Melbourne via The Emerald Isle...

It may be wise to get to know one another via the forum before jumping in the deep end...

I can't swim but I say bring on the deep end!

Btw, I'd suggest someone start a new thread for the Melbourne meetup so we don't bother our non-Melbournite Australians. (I'd do it but I've been here too long and have to get back to doing work )

OK all,

Great idea to start a new thread - I've done it. It's called Australia-Melbourne. It's OK - we'll still be here as well.

Default Firewalking in Sydney

Hi Everyone,

Anybody interested in participating in a firewalking ceremony to be held in early January in the Sydney area? It should cost about $150, maybe a bit more or less and will take place over several hours during an evening.
I did one of these at a Tony Robbins seminar and I'm really hooked on it. Ask yourself - if you can walk on fire, what can't you do?
I am hoping to get a group of at least 10 people together in order to have an accredited instructor fly out from Perth to conduct.
If you're interested please send me a private message.

Hello

Another one for Sydney, but I am a pommie so I don't know if you will let me join in the fun heh.

I hope all you Adelaide-rs are heading down to the cricket this morning!

Hi Brendan,

Check out the Australia-Melbourne thread as well. I'm up for organising the January get together there. Sounds like you're new in town, so give any of us a call and we can show you the ropes!! Excellent to have another creator in town!!

Joy and welcome to you!
Hazel
