After going back and re-reading the purpose of this sub, I was surprised to see the term "energy vampire" mentioned so often...

Aren't all people interacting socially online doing so solely because of the way those interactions make them feel, (for better or worse...)?? We as humans are all energy vampires...that being said, it is a fantastic idea to surround yourself with like-minded individuals if you wish to push your boundaries to the limit, and then some. Is there a part of this sub dedicated to actual, real-world meetups and/or discussions? If not, is that something people would like? Energy vampires can use that same "hinge" they used to harvest in reverse to disseminate learned behaviors to actively engaged participants at an extremely fast rate. The videos on this page are very interesting, and seem like they might be useful for people who don't just naturally "click" back into place every now and then when reading the books. The resources provided here are definitely a nice alternative to those old 90's Tensegrity videos that look all weird and straight-cultish. These topics AND MORE are what I would like to discuss...in person? Via a group chat? Honestly the goal is to make real connections, because these connections essentially "level up" your WHOLE GAME (...or practice? Life? I prefer game, because it conveys the attitude required to withstand the pitfalls of life gracefully while simultaneously addressing the miniscule role we as humans play, AKA BULLSHEEEIT!)...when you form your new relationships genuinely and with pure intent and not out of anger, you are literally doing the most practical kind of magic.

Let's meet up. Midwest USA. Willing to drive. I am also willing to get more specific with details if other people here are interested in actually meeting up.

One has only to study the history of the workshops held in the 1990's, and the years of Cleargreen directed ones after, to discern that face-to-face group interaction is no real help to anything.

At least not at our level. People drift into being as concerned with the group dynamics as they are about the actual sorcery.

That's not as easy to fall into when it's just text and images on a screen, or an instructional magical passes video etc.

Maybe when someone is closer to the level of don Juan and his group, when the risk of being pulled back into the river of shit is far less likely, one could afford to be more chatty...in person.

But until then, it's more of a blind leading the blind scenario and we'd be better off using the IOB's, as the universe has set it up....which is something that book purists and Cleargreen devotees just aren't on-board with.

The best we can do here is maintain access to the information for people, give honest feedback on it's use, and encourage each other to stick to it.
