Theos-Talk Archives (August 1998 Message tt00168)

I suggest viewing the film Altered States - William Hurt uses a floatation
tank in conjunction with Peyote to regress to the source.

Nitrous Oxide can be used to shut of the senses as well as PCP and
Ketamine. Of course meditation will do the job if you've got 15 years of
time to spend perfecting the art.

Other films worth seeing-
Sex and Zen and its sequel, Erotic Ghost Story and it's sequel - all give
the chinese Taoist view of Sex and energy exchange and are very revealing -
did you know that unless both partners orgasm simultaneously one will ened
up drawing energy from the other. As most men can't last more than a couple
of minutes we end up giving our partner's a whole wad of Yang (forgive me
if I mean Yin I always confuse the two).

And a book on Sex and Energy -

Alchemy - Johannes Fabricious

And the best Pornographic Film ever made - equally loved by men and women :

Sensual Exposure (this is very tasteful, erotic and can be watched by any
without embarassment).


SEX - we wouldn't be here without it
