Comes with a welcome kit.

The post Chungha’s Lightstick! appeared first on .

I’m a engineer seeking truth about health, spiritual enlightenment and tech.

There are too much misinformation out there that is not benificial to many problems.

This site is to log my journey into what I have found out so far.

Profile: Able to provide technically creative solutions to address a variety of situations coupled with “hands-on” IS and networking expertise. Focused on achieving both bottom-line results while formulating and implementing technologies.

Selected Achievements:

• First Online Web E-commerce in Singapore generating S$330,000 in one week. Sales of 2300+ units of the AWE32 sound card in 1997 and shipped to 23 countries. (1997)
• Software monitoring solution that had supported various products that were sold 230 companies in 2 years. (2000)
• Creating Checkpoint FW-1 appliance. (2003)
• Product management of new and unique products.(2008-2009)
• Developing DNSSEC compliant DNS server product (2014)
• Developing next generation Truauth product. Improving performance by 5 fold.

Experience:

2010-Present:

Advance Network Technologies (Antlabs) – Singapore

Product Specialist:

Developing and improving existing Truauth family of products. Currently I have improve performance of Truauth by 5times. Developing customisation for Carrier class customers. Working on moving products to an Openstack environment to provide increase flexibity and scalability.

Customisation for Smartone (HK), Singtel S2a projects.
Senior System Engineer (Team Leader)
Support Division (Project)
My primary role is to manage the principle support engineers for projects which are deployments done for the following Telcos (SingTel, M1, Starhub, Omantel, Etistalat, CAT(Thailand), Nawras, IBS(Indonesia).
Several large deployments are supported like Wireless@SG, and large scale user gateways (20,000 simultaneous logins) for National Stadium, Melbourne Convention center, Dubai mall.

This involves arranging for schedules and support recovery procedures for various projects. It involves also in-house testing of patches for each of the projects before deploying on staging or live servers.

The secondary role is to manage service desk training and escalation procedures. This covers training documentation, Wiki sites for knowledge retention and training videos to demonstrate specific situations for a more common problems.

The different projects have different requirements and some Telcos have multiple projects running at the same time. I don’t have a standard procedure that is applicable to all projects. In general, the roles that I do for the projects are:
a)    Provide troubleshooting and bug fixing for problems both within the system and from other network devices.
b)    Reports analysis when there is need to isolate problem segments.
c)    Capacity planning guides and reports for upgrading purposes.
d)    Managing engineer resources to do operations and to aid them in investigations.
SingTel – This project involves authentication done by all cell phones that needs to do 2G,3G and GPRS connection. Currently they have about 2million subscribers and planning to do upgrading to 3million subscriber systems. Antlabs provides radius servers for authentication of these subscribers. They are currently doing about 1-2k TPS (transactions per second) and upgrading to about 5K TPS by end of the year.

SingTel – The other primary project for SingTel is that we provide radius servers and proxies and SSGs (Service selection gateways) (all these are our own products) for Wireless@Sg and other similar networks (icell, Starhub, M1 etc). As they are the primary access point for most of the free/paid public wireless access, we have about 20 servers catering for about 8 geographical segments. We manage internet bandwidth and authentication.

Singtel Satelite – This is a very unique project, where data analysis based on packet captures and capture breakdowns are used to generate reports for thousands of ships that use Internet. This is provide billing accountability for each ship usages.

Singnet – Their new Wifi offload for their new plans are managed by our TruAuth and Map gateways to communicate with their telephone HLR systems. Wireless@SG also taps on this setup for the 802.1x login profiles.

Starhub – Similar to SingTel, we provide SSG gateways however, they manage their own Radius servers.  My role is:
a)    Provide troubleshooting when problem arises
b)    Provide help in configuration when there are new marketing campaigns where the SSG can redirect to custom pages for advertising efforts. In short they require assistance whenever they have new marketing campaigns and we have to assist whenever they deploy new webpages..

M1 – Fiber Broadband
Although the project is called fiber broadband it is actually cable broadband access. These include systems from Juniper (E320 (broadband server router), MX960 (universal edge router)), F5 (BigIP for load balancing), Radius, DNS, web portals and web proxies.

My roll is primarily
a)    Provide troubleshooting of problems.
b)    Upgrade of systems (OS and others)
c)    Upgrade of functionality (Scripting or changes in configuration).
d)    Increasing bandwidth between systems.

This by far is the most complicated setup. The E320 is a product that Juniper has relatively few experienced support personnel which makes asking for support rather slow. This E320 provides client bandwidth access management. When a new cable user is detected, various policies can be applied until the user logs in via the web portal. At which time, a new policy is applied to the user to set bandwidth and any other customization for that plan. The traffic from the user is then either pass through directly or redirected to the http proxies.

Secondary roles involve support of our hospitality products (Inngate) which are captive gateways. Here my role is to help the help desk do the support. When they get a problem they cannot solve, me and my team of engineers will troubleshoot and if necessary bring up the problem to the product development people for help.

I do management of staff resources for the purposes of achieving 24-hour online service. Scheduling of training and off site visits.

There are some special projects which I have been doing.
a)    Overall upgrading of knowledge of the helpdesk. This is an indepth training of various protocols like DNS, DHCP, SMTP, HTTP, arp and networking protocols to the Help Desk. This training is specific to helping them troubleshoot via using the Inngate products.
b)    Provide a knowledge diagnostic framework to ensure that the help desk will ask the correct questions and provide correct answers in a fast and consistent manner. This is done via a Wiki project which has a diagnostic tree of questions and verification techniques the help them arrive at the correct answers.
c)    Create a new framework for data collection of project and product system statistics. Currently, any statistics collected are either condensed in a week/month/year basis which means it losses granularity. This project is to provide
a)    Longer term storage of statistics data in theory any granularity that the customer wants for an indefinite time frame.
b)    Data mining for the purpose of capacity planning. For example, breakdown of handphone types that connect. Breakdown of plans popularity or anything that they could want.
d)    A webbased automated system to submit requests which will execute specific procedures on remote Inngates. These kind of procedures include
a.    Healthcheck
b.    Specific software recovery procedures for rare issues.
c.    Hot fixes before official patches are release.
The good thing is that it also captures various statistical information about remote Inngate systems that allow us to plan for severity prediction of vulnerable systems or how prevalent certain configurations are, usage patterns.

Omantel, Etisalat,CAT – They both have the Singtel Wifi setup where phones can seamlessly switch to Wifi with their EAPSIM profile on their phones.

DNSSEC  Server – I have single handed created a product for the company to support DNSSEC complainant server/recursor. This system has an internal loadbalancer that can be configured to support multiple instances of the internal services to handle high loads. This was designed to support 140K regular DNS requests/second.

2004-2010:

Han Technology – Singapore
Senior Development Consultant
Actually my titles depend on whom I will meet. My boss suggested that I use the above when the customer would want more customized products or to build a new solution. Or the other one below when we most likely selling existing products that don’t require much customization, just deployment and education. This is because compared to the rest of the tech employees; I have more in depth programming background.

Directing product development and testing of various products. In general, my roles in these products are one of these three functions. To manage the development of it, or to provide testing environment and lastly to provide support to end users.
•    Exboot – Unique backup solution, that allows the backup to be directly booted from an external enclosure. This provides a failsafe in the event that an internal harddisk fails, it provides immediate access to programs and data without having to do a restoration first. This software is developed to work in Windows OS environment. This has become popular among larger companies like FedEx and is being bought in quantities by the various ministries for use by Ministers and the upper level personnel on their travels.
•    RestoreLive – Another unique product that backs up a system to its own drive. It does not make sense on the surface. However, any backup and restoration takes time. A simple update failure (update of Microsoft or antivirus) could potentially wrack the system. Restorelive can be managed centrally to receive backup commands from a central console before any update is done. A single reboot is all it takes to restore a system to any backup. Literally recovery in a minute. This software is developed to work in Windows OS.
•    Pincode encrypted enclosure – Encrypted enclosures come in all forms. Some with tokens. Some with finger print. However, there are cases, where the token is left in the enclosure or a finger is cut off to do authentication. Pincode is a simple number sequence to unlock encrypted data from a hard disk. Simple and easy to use.
•    Provide support for extensive scheduler called 24×7 Automation Suite(www.softtreetech.com). This scheduler provided not only more control and management of jobs but it also provides scripting languages that could query and control how the jobs performed. I managed and sold this product to DBS Vickers who have since deployed it site wide to monitor and proactively fix problems via scripts.
•    Creating a appliance which integrated F-Secure’s Linux Gatekeeper product into an in-line scanning appliance that filters virus for HTTP, POP,SMTP and FTP protocols. (Using Linux, kernel patches, scripts in perl, bash). This system was created with a minimum of RPMs required to run the solution. A installation CD was created to facilitate installation into appliances. This was done largely with perl and bash scripting. Since this product is an in-line scanner, the emphasis for development is two fold. One is the hardening of the OS and the other is to optimize network throughput. In the first case, the work is similar to the earlier Celestix work where I made sure only relevant software is running and each is locked down to prevent intrusion. The second, is to ensure the OS is optimized in terms of packet handling and memory and caching of virus signatures to speed up scanning of anything passing through the system.
•    Setting up a open source Sugar CRM system for the company to track sales and customers.

Senior Product Specialist
•    Provide support for F-Secure’s anti-virus products to both end users and corporate customers like DBS(7000+), MHA(3000+), HDB(10,000+), BASF (10,000+ users). Here we provide several levels of support. In some cases, we create documentation for users like DBS on installation, update procedures for their systems. Even how to update an OS image that they install into various systems. In other cases, its more hands off like in BASF case, where they have very competent engineers and only require support for more complex procedures.
•    Provide support for WRQ Reflection (formerly known as F-Secure SSH products). This software is the defecto standard in the Singapore Government, it is used by all the ministries and many of the companies that have direct need to transfer data securely with the ministries. Here we provide different levels of support. In some cases, we provide onsite installation services and direct support in terms of making sure security keys are installed correctly. In other cases we provide just phone support to do the same.  However, we do help in debugging scripts that they use for file transfers.
•    Unique throttling solution to manage anti-virus updates (sometimes up to 2-5Mbyte), through 64kbit connection to about 60-70 branches.
•    Provide support for iScsi (Open-E) and Nas (Windows Storage server and ReadyNas) deployment for customers. Customers include Mindef and other organizations.
•    Manage internal VMWare and Citrix Zen servers for internal operational servers and testing of new products. Generally we use Zen more mainly because we run mostly linux OS and Zen runs a little Linux a bit faster then Vmware.
•    Manage Veritas Volume Manager, file and Cluster for a hosted application for customer. Used primarily to cluster web and mail services for customers who find housing mail servers locally is cost too much for a dedicated lease line for large number of branches scattered across many countries. It was backed by a data store using a pair Open-E NFS with replicated volume nodes.
2001-2004:

Celestix Networks    Singapore, US
Tech Support Manager
•    Setup a tech support department in the US. This won some magazine commendation of efficiency and completeness of support. Here I managed a small group of support engineers in the US for about 2 years.
•    Provide support for both multifunction appliances and specific appliances like Checkpoint firewalls and their associated products like Rainfinity.  Our appliances are custom designed motherboards with multi network ports (usually 4-8 ports) with Raid systems built in. The Rainfinity products that I worked with then is more of network traffic management unlike their current products are more geared towards VM management.
•    Returning to Singapore, I rejoined R&D and helped develop a Linux OS that could switch different sets of libraries and products depending on which was needed. This was needed if the customer wanted to test a new version of the software and needed a failsafe to return to an old configuration. (Custom Linux distribution, with perl, bash, and some C coding). This Linux OS we developed is based on Redhat OS or equivalent Centos OS. These products was designed to support (firewalls and other security products) requires considerable hardening by having only the minimum required software to run the OS and to lock down various components to ensure that it cannot be broken into. Backup and recovery is done on two fronts. We created our own backup recovery scripts to store the backups automatically either to a file share (Ftp or windows file share).   I built a special SNMP library specifically for this appliance so that all the functions could be monitored and managed remotely.
•    These activities require skills in building RPMs for linux and build a software solution for Tech support problem tracking. (Perl, bash, and various scripting)

1999-2001:

Lightspeed Technologies    Singapore
Manager of Software Development
•    Create an infrastructure to facilitate monitoring of unlimited systems. A central reporting system where a variety of systems report status and it allows pushing of updates to report servers. These servers sending reports are the following products created. The products below are generally built using Linux, perl,bash and various software that is inherently available in Linux).  Do note that this was done way before software like Nagios or OpenNMS or Zenoss.
o    We created our own push mechanism for sending updates to all our servers (listed below) to provide new updates or new error detection mechanism.
o    Each time a failure has occurred, after diagnostics we would develop a detection script or program that we will push to all our customers machines so that advance or immediate warnings can be received before or when the problem occurs. For example, we created a multi-point mail loop testing that makes sure that each system can send out and receive emails within a specified time period. If the time period is exceeded it setups an alert for us to detect. This works from both the customer’s machine outwards and from ours inwards to their machines.
o    Other examples are alert/warnings from various logs are monitored continuously on systems. Alerts such as SMART errors, samba login errors or even intruder detection (using Tripwire) are sent immediately so that we can take action.
o    We have added over a hundred customized warning/alert scripts to detect all kinds of unusual activities that needed attention. The goal is to fix the problem either via the script itself or alert us immediately of the problem so that we can fix it remotely.
o    The benefit to the customers were that all systems tasks were managed by us. Adding accounts, special configurations, changing shared directories and so on were only a call or an email away.
•    PicoNet – This was a system consisting of a firewall, VPN and intrusion detection. It’s the first system put into most companies, and it allows detection of potential problems within the network. This was equipped with squid an http proxy. This speeded up web access by caching and in some cases, the customers requested various access controls like, by time, by users, by locations and to block access to certain websites. This was achieved with primarily with squidguard. In some cases, this was implemented as a transparent proxy to hide the functions from the staff.
•    PicoMail – This was a pop3/imap mail system with Mcafee anti-virus scanning. It also provided archiving of emails and email broadcasts for marketing purposes. This system uses sendmail either postfix the smtp engine. There are special customers with unusual requirements. One unusual customer wanted a cell groups within the organization that would get copies of emails sent to anyone within the cell group to be sent to all members of the cell group. Corresponding, any emails sent out from the cell group to be copied to the cell group. This was to facilitate anyone within the group to be able to respond to any query from customers. Some of these were done with aliases, proc procedures, and special m4/cf file milter configurations. The more common ones simply required virtual domains, users, support of multiple domains. SmtpAuth was deemed mandatory for all our customers this reduced the chance of having their mail servers become spam machines.  In most customers however, we prefer postfix as its easier and less resource intensive for to manage. It is easier to specify anti-spam options to reduce the acceptance of spam and to intergrate anti-spam scanners.
•    Picoshare – This was essentially a network file server. However, it had the ability to mirror itself to other similar file systems both local and remote. Provide workgroup scheduling, forums and trouble ticketing functions.
•    PicoFax – This was a centralized fax system that allows routing of fax to emails. This reduces paper wastage and provides reduce change of missed faxes due to paper jams. It provided desktop print to fax services as well.
•    These systems combined were sold as products to about 230 companies in about 2 years. We even had customers like Singapore Tourism Board and National Library
•    I had a team of 7 engineers, 3 for R&D and 4 for technical support for the customers. My role is more for the R&D and deployment management. In many cases, standard deployment procedures are adequate. However, some customers require specialized configurations where in becomes my job to scope it out and either do it myself or manage one or more of my engineers to develop it.
1989-1999:

Confrere Solutions    Singapore
Senior Manager
•    Providing SI services to assemble firewalls, mail servers and various other Internet related servers and products.
•    Created an online maid application to provide reviews of maid profiles and inquiry system for the owners. (linux, php,mysql)
•    Online monitoring and reporting of Church cell group activities. (Linux, php, mysql)
•    Developed a prototype system for Changi General Hospital to track members and provide online updates of upcoming events like talks and seminars. (Windows, ASP)
1993-1998:

Creative Technology Ltd    Singapore
Associate Manger in Interactive Marketing Department
•    First Online Web E-commerce in Singapore generating S$330,000 in one week. Sales of 2300+ units of the AWE32 sound card and shipped to 23 countries.
•    First Online software ecommerce sales. S$160,000 in 3 days of 10,000 software licenses. (IBM commerce server and custom code to manage modem Visa transactions. There were no online gateways available in Singapore then).
•    Social Network web activities for data/statistics collection and dissemination of new updates information for software and device drivers (Windows,Linux, asp,php, perl)
•    Guerrilla marketing activities to create “unaffiliated” review sites that promote Creative products fame and quality.
•    Virtualisation of Tech support centers for unified support between US and Singapore. (Lotus Notes)

•    Design of software players for Creative products. (Mostly C,C++)

The post About me appeared first on .

This class began with a reading on each of us about our havingness. We were told what sort of problems we are having with our havingness. Dale did one for me. He told me that there is a lot of family resistance to me having havingness. I told I agreed. This was mainly that my family was never really well off but we were comfortable. Everything had to be earned and nothing was free so to speak. So resistance for me was that the family has put a resistance that “No you are not that lucky, you have to very very hard to achieve anything” type of energy in my space. Dale was saying, I’m already working on removing that resistance which is good. 

The class then started proper by us telling our ‘growth’ period. Initially, I felt that I had none to report, but as I listened to the rest of the students, I realised that I had stopped enforcing my way on others and stopped healing each and everyone that I meet. This came to mind because that day, my female colleague that I felt put too much pressure on herself to achieve and that it created lots of dissatisfaction in her life. I wanted her to change that, but now I felt I didn’t need to change everyone and that they created this experience and they had to do their own resolving. Subconsciously I think she felt my pulling back and she was complaining over the week that “You don’t support me anymore”. I didn’t understand the impact until during the class.
Jeff also explained that the experience (that I described below) is a spirit-body communication. Its such that the body is telling the spirit what the problem is and how its affecting the body. So during my meditation, I was able to understand what is kept in my space for so long and with ‘destroying roses’ technique I have started to remove it. This was extremely interesting to me because it confirms what Carolyn Myss was talking about. Biography is biology. She preaches that what a person does energetically can affect the body both in good and bad terms. What a person thinks, does and what the society needs are, are reflected physically in the body. With this new found ability, learning what is causing discomfort physically can lead to understand my life(and past lives), my decisions and the society’s decisions can affect me and there is a way to repair it.

Jeff then taught us about mockups. Mockups to me(personally not Jeff’s words) are like Wish spells. I wish for xxx to happen to me. Unfortunately, sometimes these wishes goes astray or sometimes it goes right for someone else. Sometimes, it happens but in a general way that you don’t see it. For example, you may wish for money, then someone offers you a great job, few hours great pay. But to you your wish didn’t come true. But it DID! Unless you are extremely specific sometimes it comes to you in ways you don’t expect it. On the other hand, being too specific limits the way in which it can arrive to you.

Basic way of creating a mockup.
1. Create the image of what you want, as specific or as general a you deem fit.
2. Put this image into a rose and ground it. Let all your and other people’s energy drain from it.
3. Put up a gauge that represents the ability to have this image. Ground it, let all the resistance to having it drain down the grounding cord. Now push the gauge to 100%. Let it become fixed like putting glue, put it into a notch or some other image.
4. Put up another gauge, this one represents your confidence if it appearing to you. Again ground it and push it 100% and fix it.
5. Now put the image, the 2 gauges into a rose.
6. Now create a golden sun of NEUTRAL energy. Let this energy fill this rose and washout all other energy down the grounding cord.
7. Now release it out into the world/heaven. This important if you cannot let go of it that means you still have resistance to having it or you still have your own or other people’s energy. So repeat the steps until you can release it. By releasing, its allowed to go out to get the item for you.

Now, ideally try not to create conflicting mockups. Like making a mockup to travel then making another mockup to stay put. Or something like that. Note that if you create mockups that affect other people, they have a conscious choice to say yes or no, this is because they have their own paths to follow and it may or may not coincide with what you want.

The post Sixth Meditation Class appeared first on .

This class covers 2 basic things. Detecting lies and “havingness”. Detecting lies was straight forward. Ground yourself, put up a protection rose to absorb /defect energies directed at you. Put up a second grounded rose, this time will this rose to react to lies being directed at you. The idea case is that when lies are directed against you, it will react in some way. Change color, fall apart, move .. just about anything instead of remaining the way it was. During the class Jeff was saying many lies and we were asked to determine if it was a lie. This worked fairly well but requires practice. 

The second session was about having-ness. This is basically your ability to have something. In most cases, we have have been brought up in a situation where we are always told what we can have and what we cannot have or what is not due to us. To increase your own personal havingness is to visualize a gauge for any particular thing. For example, a gauge for being in love, for having money. Let the position of the gauge to represent the amount of havingness for that item. Now create a grounding cord from the upper portion, (eg, if you see 60%, put a grounding cord in the balance 40%). Let the grounding cord drain out all the resistance from having it. Now put it in to your gold sun and imagine recalling all the energy that is required to achieve that 100% and more. Then let that energy fall into you filling up your every cell.
Mar 12, 2002 – Experience Updates
My experiences seem to be getting stranger. I’ve seen those white/blue orbs again. This time one of them gave me an image of a Japanese lady in a kimono sitting in a large building. Her lips move and I hear her saying she’s was my mother once. The next odd thing, is that I can now look at my body and see energy flows. Usually, when I started meditation, I have to imagine the energy flow, now I feel that I see it, I don’t have to imagine it anymore (except maybe to start the movement process). I’ve found various regions where ache appears as red glows. I found one in my chest, that seems to be having aches for a while. So I flipped it over and immediately I got an image of me not crying during my fathers funeral. It had a guilty type of feeling over it. So I put this glow in to a rose and blew it up. A couple of days later, that ache disappears for a while but comes back. I guess its too strong to let go of it easily.

The post Fifth Meditation Class appeared first on .

We began with a mini-reading of each of us so that we know what we are doing and how we are progressing. I think we didn’t really understand what was being said during this reading. After this each of us told us about our experiences during the week. I told him (Jeff) of my experience in that temple in Thailand.. he goes yep you are recovering energy left over from there.. Hey look your teacher is still hovering over to your left, I think he believes you to be his best pupil, but I doubt you can get much from him now, as he has not had a body for a long time.

The next odd thing that happened was that I was watching a movie (Practical Magic) on TV. At a few minutes after 10pm, I felt a hand touch my chest, I was lying on the couch at that time, my eyes flicked upwards and I saw the smiling face of Grace (one of students in the class), then the image vanished. I ignored it and went back to watching the program. 15 minutes later, I checked my email and her first email to me arrived and the date/time stamp ws 10.02pm. I asked her about it and she said she composed the email earlier but the mail got stuck in the outbox. So when she arrived back hope she clicked the send button again at just after 10.

I asked Jeff about this, he was a little surprised that this happened and asked if we had know each other before this class. I told him this was the first time I met her in class. He then asked me if I felt any feelings towards her when I met her. I said I think we felt friendly to each other from the beginning. He then had his famous “far away” look when his reading energies, he bent down his head had a mischievous grin and changed topic. This is irritating.. what on earth did he see! I told Grace and she also very curious too.

Now back to the class proper. For some reason he asked us to take a field trip, which in fact is a projection of mind/spirit to another place. I think he wants us to understand that we have done this before on our own many times and we can consciously do it at will.

Finally he thought us the main lesson for the night which was protection roses. The basic idea is to create a rose and let it vibrate with the same energy as you. Ground this rose. Now when energies are directed at you, happiness, sadness, anger, joy, money or anything else. This rose would intercept this energy and you can become detached from the other person. We then did some experiments by pairing up and and telling stories to each other. We listen to the stories with and without the roses.

The experience was that when we listen to the stories we get caught up with the story and feel that we have to react to it. With the rose, we no longer react to the emotional energy from that other person and can listen without getting caught up with the story. Surprising thing is that the story tellers felt that they too aren’t as emotional about it and some realize that the situation is something for them to learn and they have to take responsibility for themselves.

Apparently, the rose works both ways, it prevents other people’s energy from entering your space and allows them to experience this totally for themselves and it also prevents your emotions from entering their space.

Mar 04, 2002 – Experience Update
Tonight as I was mediating and running energy. I started to practice things not taught in this class. These are recognizing and removing of energy from family members and cleaning of chakras. To recognize other people’s energy in your space is fairly simple. Begin with creating a rose then draw a person’s energy from your aura, example for father or mother. Move it to one side. Create a second rose of your energy and compare the difference in the roses. When you have finished doing that. Let the rose of the other person’s energy suck out their energy from your body. Then explode it with the intention of it returning to them. You can repeat this with all kinds of energy. The cleaning of chakras is also fairly simply, for the 3 lower chakras use earth energy for the upper 4 chakras use cosmic energy. Gently use this energy to slowly wipe off any perceived dirt that is clouding the chakras.

The last thing I did was to discover the “God of my Heart” this is to increase the ability to talk my higher self. I won’t describe the procedure here as its a long process.
After doing all of these processes, I settled down to simply running of earth and cosmic energy.

I suddenly decided I want to see my own aura. In my mind a plasma cloud seem to envelope my body. If you have seen StarTrek you will understand what I mean by plasma clouds. It had blues greens with some orange and reds here and there. With this active I decide to do some creating and destroying or roses. Interesting was I can see other images light up as pin points of light in my aura and body. When i try to blow up roses with pictures, I find that there are tiny pin points of lights in the aura and my body, I guess these are similar pictures with the one I am blowing up. What I do then is create another rose and let the pinpoints of light migrate to this rose before I blow it up.
Last exciting thing was that as I was looking at the different areas of the plasma around me. I noticed several balls.. well not balls but more like ovals that was white in the center with a blue glow. There were easily 6-8 of them around. As I stretched out my psychic hand and touched some of them. Some of them created images of different people from different countries. Some nothing happened. There was a Japanese women, some south east asia oriental man, some rough looking Hispanic and a couple of others.As I was observing them, I saw another orb zoom past me and I said hello to it. It sort of made a U-turn and flew in front of my face, pause a while and flew off.

The post Fourth Meditation Class appeared first on .

In this class we are thought how to run energy. We run Earth and Cosmic naturally, when we were young this happens automatically, when we get older, sometimes, it gets slow and clogged. One of the purpose of running energy is to clean out all the ‘dirt’ and all the energy to wash clean all our channels. This helps to clean out karma, misconceptions and other blocks which can cause pain.

The interesting thing about it is that is similar to the Taoist chi meditation in which a practitioner would move his chi in a circular orbit around his body. This I used to practice during my teen years.

This running of energy consists of 2 parts. The first part is to draw from the earth, earth energy to run up through the feet, to reach the 1st chakra and return down to the earth via the grounding cord. To do this, sit comfortably on a chair, place feet firmly on the ground. Imagine opening the feet chakra. The feet chakra is located somewhere in the middle of the feet. If you move your palm a few inches over soles, there is a spot that feels different. This is your feet chakra. Create a grounding cord, and imagine the earth energy flowing up your legs, mix a little in your 1st chakra and down your grounding cord. You will find there is a warm sensation running through your legs was this happens.

The second part is to run cosmic energy. Imagine opening your crown chakra and draw in the cosmic energy from the father est part of the universe. The crown chakra can be found also by running your hand over your head. There is a spot there that feels hot, that is your crown chakra. Visualize the energy coming through your crown chakra down your back, this splits into 4 channels from your neck until your 1st chakra. Now let the energy of the earth and cosmic energy mix a little. Now imagine the combined energy (90% cosmic 10% earth) come up through the middle of the body and through all the chakras. As it reaches the throat chakra, 1/3 will flow down the arms into your hand chakras and fountain out. The rest fill continue up through the crown chakra and fountain out. This energy will now wash through your aura and down through the grounding cord where the edge of the aura intersects the grounding cord.
The cosmic energy felt different for different people, although earth energy felt about the same. I wonder why. Some people felt that the cosmic energy was cooler and lighter. I felt it to be extremely hot. 

When I tried it weeks before this class. There was a sharp pain as if someone stabbed a needle into my throat. I stopped everything and I remembered that a psychic saying that I had like a chain, or some medallion covering my throat chakra with a lock on it. I then visualized my own hands reaching for the blockage and saying “Whatever this blockage is, I don’t need this anymore”. When I started to run energy this time, it flowed without any pain. Although the flow through my throat felt sluggish as if it was being used for the first time.

Nothing significant happened this time. The only unusual thing that happened was that one of the students whom I practiced the mind projection (as described below) ask if I was bored again. I asked her why, she said it was because she felt my mind again and it had a familiar presence.

The post Third Meditation Class appeared first on .

In this class, as usual the clairvoyant students did some psychic healing. Once everyone has arrived, we split into groups and the class began proper. We started with us describing our observations during our practice during the week. After which we proceeded to learn the Golden Sun method for recalling our own energy and refueling ourselves. The method is to visualise a bright burning sun about 6 feet above us.

Now will that the sun start recalling all the energy that we have left behind. Like those we left in our work place, from people who we met, anywhere that our mind has focused on. Visualise the energy returning and after a while release the energy and let it fall onto our bodies and let the golden light fill up every cell of our bodies. This was very interesting as many of us found ourselves much more refreshed after this.

Karma was defined as an exchange of energy with a place or another being. This energy is what is holding ourselves back from progressing. To dissolve the karma, visualise a rose and let it represent the energies that both you and the place/being is being held. Ground it and let it drain out until its clear.

The next major thing we learned was that we can use grounding for just about anything. Just as we can leave energies in beings and places so can anyone else. Learning to ground your car helps you to remove these energies that you and others put into it. To do that visualise the car and create a grounding cord between the car and the earth. Now at this point, I’m embarrassed to admit.. I got bored. I turned my mind to look at the other students in the class. I saw shadows that represent the shape of the people and a glowing cord connection their spine to the center of the earth.

Whats even more amazing was that I saw the cars that they were visualising. I noticed that Grace who was sitting next to me had a low 2 seater sports and when I mentioned it later she said she had a Z3 and I was correct. I noticed other cars like a white Japanese car, green 4 wheel drive jeeps and so on. I’m bad at knowing car shapes so I can’t name models just the description of the types. 

The last thing we did that night was to demonstrate to ourselves what is like to have another person in our minds and what’s it like to be in someone else’s mind. This was interesting. To be in another mind, it feels strange and foreign. For someone to be in your mind, you feel an unwelcome pressure. 

Experience and observations before the next class:

1) I found sometimes when after ground, golden sun. I would sit silently for a while. I get flashes of a purple crystal forming in my head. It seems to be forming more facets. Don’t understand this yet.

2) Based on the karma teachings and recalling energy. I decided to go back to the begining of my memory to try to recall everything that I have done and recall those energy left there. At the same time, dissolve karma with everyone that I have met in this lifetime. So what I did was enter a meditative state, ground, golden sun energy replenishment. After this, I would sit quietly for a few moments and ask my spirit to show me all the scenes where I left memory in the year X. Beginning with my childhood around 4-5 years old. I get images of people and things that I have done.

For people I always say, whatever hurt that we have caused each other lets forgive each other. Then imagine the karmic rose and start draining it. Then ask that all the energy that I have invested to it return to my golden sun, let all the negativity be burned in clean energy. Once in a while, I let the sun’s energy return to me. Whats interesting is that I found that it wasn’t people that seemed to have lots of my energy. I found that it is decisions that I made that seemed to have the greatest energy being stored. Especially those that seemed to may have affected my whole life. When released there was a wave of energy returning, which although directed at the sun, I could feel the wake of energy on my face and body as it moved back to the sun.

The post Second Meditation Class appeared first on .

This class was held at the Mountain View branch of the Berkeley Psychic Institute. I arrived at about 7.15pm for my first meditation class.Many people were gathered and sitting in a circle and the advance students and teachers were performing healings for the various people seated. After paying for the class $150 for 6 weeks. I too joined in and received a healing. After everyone has arrived, the group was broken up into different classes, one for Meditation I, Healing I and Male I (I think these were the classes on that night. Soon our teacher introduced him self (Jeff) and he gave an introduction to who he is (new director for Mountain View), what the organisation was like. How the classes are conducted, what was expected and so on.
Soon he started on the basic tool, Grounding. He explained it as one of the most often used tool because it helps you center yourself, removes other peoples energy and there were more advance uses which will be taught in another class. We began by closing our eyes and Jeff started to ask us to visualize that we are sitting on a tree trunk with the roots reaching all the way to the center of the earth. After a pause, he asked us to visualize unwanted energy being drawn down this trunk and into the earth. Starting from the feet and moving up towards the head. When it was over he asked us to describe the experience. As each person spoke on his/her experience, Jeff commented on each of us. Basically, each of us will have their own visual image, it doesn’t matter what it is because each of us are at a different stage of development so we would see different things. Sometimes, a person simply doesn’t see anything in the beginning, this doesn’t mean that nothing is happening, it just that the spirit is not ready to show you what is happening.
There were some announcements and we all repeated the process once again and some of the people had different comments or saw different things. Most of us had an headache or a dull pain in the forehead between the eyes. This apparently was like an unused muscle stretching after a long period of being still. After the class was almost over, we had an experiment to show that being grounded makes you more stable physically and sometimes it can be used to make things work (like cars).

So here are some observations of mine during the week when I was practicing it.
1) You can avoid the head pain. What I found was that when you try to bring your mind to the center of the head, your eyes tend to follow. That creates an unnatural strain because its trying to look into your head. You can avoid this, by simply telling yourself to disassociate the eyes from your mind and that your mind can see on its own without the help of the eyes. This takes a bit of practice but afterwards, you will find that you can look from your mind without your eyes following.

2) Grounding sometimes makes you less noticeable. I tried it at a restaurant waiting area. Those that saw me sit down reacted normally because they know I was there. Those that came later didn’t react to my presence until I spoke and these are my office colleagues. Need more experiments to figure this one out.

3) After a period of focusing the mind, I found that the mind can exist at a single point. There was a period when I found my mind was literally inside my skull. Like I was in cave and it was made out of my skull. There was an interesting experience.

4) Once you have reached that Point Mind mode. I felt that I was no longer a physical being but a spiritual being. Which could be projected out at will. I tried to leave but I think there was some fear that was preventing my to totally trip out. I think some protection elements are missing. 

The post First Meditation Class appeared first on .

There was a Trans-channeling and healing session with a theme Forgiveness. I decided to attend this because I wanted to see psychics channel spirits to conduct healing sessions. When I arrived, there is a registration process and I randomly chose a seat. There was a group about 12-14 channelers and a few controllers who were guiding and helping the channelers. Soon after the crowd settled down. The director spoke about the nights events and introduced the psychics. Then he asked them to begin to bring in the spirits. As each one came in he asked them to introduce themselves and what each of them was here for. Some said they were here to help physical healing, some about agreements between you and other beings (living or dead), some about other beings in your spiritual space and how to get them out. Some about the beings that you have agreements and how to resolve them.
That group split into 2 groups front and back of the rooms. The back row would give personal healings. The front row would answer various questions pertainig to healing hurts, physical, psychological and psychic types. This was interesting as people started asking questions and these spirits would either negotiate on that person behalf or teach them how to resolve it themselves.

So now it comes to my part. I raised my hand and the director invited me to ask my questions. It was required to speak my name and count to ten so that the spirits can find me. So I did that and started to describe my experience on the 27Jan(below). Before I could finish the director pulled up a chair much to the surprise of everyone and and put it with the row of psychics and asked me to sit and listen to the controllers instructions. The controllers told me not to do grounding and match the colours of the other crown chakras which was white.

I visualised a burning white flame on top of my head. Apparently the other spirits in the row thought that I was doing it correctly and started to complement me. After a while, the crowd noise and the speaking began to receed and became like background white noise. I called on that entity that was my spirit guide and she appeared in my mind. I asked her who and why she was here. I started to get images of her life and looks like she could have been my mother. She lived during the time of the civil war in US where there was black slavery. After a while,I became aware of the crowd again and was wondering about what was happening. At this time, it was almost the end of the session and the directory asked everyone to thank the spirits and asked the psychics to come back. So the session ended and the trans-channelers were surprised that I could do it so well. When I told them that I had only begun to do the meditations they were even more surprised.

Susan Bostwick (wife of founder of Bekeley’s Psychic Institute) was giving a free lecture on “You maybe be psychic, not crazy”. It was basically the history of the institute and she was giving some examples of people who experience their own psychic abilities and because others don’t believe they get scoldings, put downs and sometimes it scars them for a long time. She was talking about a women who was at a class and it was about seeing auras but she kept saying to her self that she wanted to see spirits. Suddenly she saw auras but dismissed it because it was not what she wanted to see. Anyway, I said to myself, “I want to see Auras” set back and waited expectantly. I was looking slightly above Susan Bostwick head suddenly, the wall behind her seemed to move back (like a wide angle lens effect) and it began to become very very dark. Then her head began to glow white and a couple of feet around her was a red colored shell. I got excited “is that the aura? is that the aura?” then just as suddenly as it happened the image faded back to normal.

First encounter with psychic healing and my spirit guide
This description is going to be full of psychic terms, you would understand easier if you listen to the tapes above.
I started my meditation practice by listening to the hemi-sync CDs to help move into a proper mental state faster. I did the standard grounding, running of earth and cosmic energies, energy recalling and golden sun healings. Now I did something not in those tapes. I started to put grounded sentries in front of my chakras starting from the lowest and moving upwards. Suddenly I became aware that my body was trembling, bouncing up and down on the sofa I was sitting on.This continued for a short while even after I reached my crown (7th chakra).
Then all became quite.. My eyes were closed but I became aware of a movement in front of my eyes. With my eyes still closed, I said hello to that presence and an image of a black women appeared in my mind. She was wearing a dress of grayish material and white apron. I asked her if she was my spirit guide, she just smiled. Then I asked her if she would help me realign and heal my chakras. Again she smiled, this time I could see her hands move towards me and moved them over my chakras. My body started to tremble again although not as strong as the first time. Then I thanked her and came out of the meditation. The next day I felt much more energetic which was great.

Feb 2nd, 2002 Early Afternoon

Invited to co-sit at someone else’s reading.
I went over to the Berkeley Psychic Institute (Mountain View Branch) to register for a meditation I class I happened to meet Kim who was the director of that branch. I started to ask her about the encounters that I had (as show below) but she was interrupted by the incoming visitors (it was another Fair type event. So while waiting I started to practice meditation, she suddenly pulled me into one of the psychic reading rooms and asked me to sit with an instructor (she pull a student to let me sit in). He asked me to follow his directions and the lady who wanted the readings sat down.

She wanted to know how her son died and I got an impression of sudden death like a car accident. (I didn’t say anything) The instructor told her that the death was sudden, one minute he wa alive and the next he was dead. She said he was on a boat when he died and wanted to know how (as no-one could find out). I got the impression of something hitting him and fell overboard but was unconscious before he hit the water. The instructor told her because this could be a dangerous thing for him to answer because the police could go after him. He did say that the son had the impression that someone snuck up behind him and hit him. The women asked who was on board, I got 2 faces one with a small beard and one clean shaven. The instructor also said so. And this went on for a while. He could see the feelings and thoughts of the son, I only picked up a few images. After it was over, and she had left, he asked me about my experience, as I was telling him, Kim came over and excited told him all I did was listen to the Med 1 tapes a couple of weeks ago, he had an expression of surprise then envy (like damm how could he improve so fast). I thanked Kim and that instructor for that experience and when back to the office.. I was testing some stuff in the office).
