Site-Wide Activity

  • Here is a good place to start the discussion of any of the ideas and technologies and practices used in the “Firedance” community.
    The most important is the “Daily Ritual” concept. Basically, you combine motion, emotion and mental focus for 10-20 minutes a day. A great test period is 30 days. Please post any questions, and let us help you!

    Oh, and this is what a reply looks like.

    Thank you!

    Joy for the survival and overcoming and allies and the strength to stand tall. I’ll try to hang on to that.

    I can cope with Namaste (the god/goddess in me honors the god/goddess in you, is the translation I learned).

    I was doing this work without much guidance and was concerned … hmmm … about going off the deep end, I guess. Terrified I…[Read more]

    Just check back in when you can, and share your thoughts and experiences. Travel safely!

    I don’t bring in all of them every day, but will “model” the best and wisest men and women I’ve known personally–and some of them have been simply extraordinary.

    The assumption that seems most appropriate is that if you go deeply enough into yourself, you reach the “True Self” and in essence, the divine. So either direction works.

    I’m on the road for the next few weeks. I will try to keep up with the readings and the forum if I can, but probably won’t be able to watch the broadcasts until Thanksgiving, so I’ll miss two of the class chats.

    What did you find the most interesting thing about Chapter 14?

    For me it was two-fold: 1. Steve’s comments about programming and the Black experience and 2. the Cabinet Hill created in his mind (and how he created it and why), but mostly that concept. And the idea that Hill was willing to discuss that publicly so long ago is pretty amazing.

    I think I’ve got it. As with most problems, if you define it clearly and then look at it carefully from multiple angles on successive days, answers reveal themselves. Whew!

    Finding the way to transfer a sexual urge into other realms of performance is tricky. I can manage it in a clumsy way: performing X will make me more attractive, so do X. Doing Y will make my body healthier and more sexual, so do Y. Doing Z will feed my emotional hungers, making me more in alignment with my nature, leading to a more natural…[Read more]

    What became of the work you produced?

  • Ellen Saunders started the topic in the forum 9 years, 6 months ago

    Curious what others thought/brought to/took away from Chapter 10.

  • Ellen Saunders replied to the topic in the forum Site-Wide Activity 9 years, 6 months ago

    I will be traveling for much of November (I will actually miss two classes, and will be unable to take part in the discussion during that period, but I wanted to take this class so much I signed up anyway…)

    But I’ve done Nano *almost* every year since 2004, and I find it immensely helpful, so I signed up again. I hope to use the last 10 days…[Read more]

  • Ellen Saunders replied to the topic in the forum Site-Wide Activity 9 years, 6 months ago

    Good luck–and I’m sure you’ll pull it off!

  • Ellen Saunders replied to the topic in the forum Site-Wide Activity 9 years, 6 months ago

    Oh, the age of this book. Gah. Thank you so much for your comments at the end, Mr. Barnes. It’s been a bad couple of days and I needed the anchoring back in 2016. And, well, I’m over 50.

    I encountered the concept of transmutation years ago, when I was an oversexed 30-something coming off a failed relationship. Or perhaps I found it in my 20s and…[Read more]

    Discussion? Thoughts, ideas?

  • Steven Barnes replied to the topic in the forum Site-Wide Activity 9 years, 6 months ago

    The “Salute to the Sun” is one of the planet’s “complete exercises” in that simply performing it ten times in a row is a full physical regimen. Every posture and movement can and should have a powerful significance, such that it becomes a ritual of awakening and awareness. Good for you!

  • Steven Barnes replied to the topic in the forum Site-Wide Activity 9 years, 6 months ago

    I’ve got a major sequence for a book/movie which, if done properly, would be stupendously powerful. Done badly it will sink the project. It is of personal impact to me, and I HAVE to process the pain so that I don’t bludgeon the reader/viewer. This won’t be easy…IF I can actually do it at all!

  • Steven Barnes replied to the topic in the forum Site-Wide Activity 9 years, 6 months ago

    Thank you!

  • Suzanne Paul replied to the topic in the forum Site-Wide Activity 9 years, 6 months ago

    Thanks for the welcome. So far I’ve written more than I have in the past 6 months so the class must be working!!
