Well, streching longer then 15 secs doesn't matter. They did tests, people strecth for 15, 30, 60, and 120 secsonds. All had the same result.

20minutes requires 15 seconds, and so after the 15 secs you aren't doing anything. I can touch my toes to, I can kick myself in the head, I can stretch until my wrist is past my toes, and been trying to put legs behind head just to see if I can do it. If you sit and strecth the same muscel for 20min, it is worthless, taking up time. Strech calf muscle for 15-20 sec, move to a dif. muscle, then another, and then go back to the calf for another 15-20sec.

Well said.
Joining a large Group Entity when you cross over can be a very pleasant experience. You feel a strong sense of family, shared values, culture, telepathic unity, and of course the feeling of the power of the collective which is like a drug. If the Group Entity numbers in the millions, it has the power to manifest telekinesis and even the creation of matter to a small degree.
Here's a common historical scenario...
A Group Entity consisting of millions of basically spiritual people forms on the Other Side (in the Mid Realms). They project a telepathic persona of being an "ascended master" to a number of people in the flesh who are also awe inspired by the healings and minor miracles that are attributed to this "ascended master." The Group Entity becomes a god or God to many incarnates and misled, inexperienced mystics, and has the adulation of thousands, even millions, directed toward it henceforth. A certain degree of sexual intimacy occurs with the incarnate following who are youthful and uniquely attractive -- as they seduce them with their energies. The old pagan "gods" did this constantly. The Group Entity then works to set up a framework (church) through a well organized follower to consolidate its religious and sociological power in the flesh.
That puts a whole new light on traditional religion, doesn't it?

The most manipulative, deceptive and lusty Group Entities are the ones in the Lower Realms, who generally do not survive themselves indefinitely. Souls who are spiritually conscientious do not feel comfortable with their energies and do not unite with them emotionally. Just as relatively good spirits work through and around basically spiritual people, so too those who are corrupt in the flesh have GE's in the Lower Realms work through and around them. Popular yet ruthless dictators of the past had GE's work through and around them, granting each a Gift of Charisma. As the cruelty of the subangel prophet in the flesh unfolds, the Group Entities who supported them in energy retrogressed into oblivion -- like the large GE's that empowered Adolph Hitler.

Krishnamurti said that power is fundamentally evil.
Power is likened to a drug. It is also an aphrodisiac to most people. Most souls do not have the moral strength to avoid the temptation to desire it in a base way, by aligning themselves with many of like mind on the Other Side. For a time, some do get the power they want, at least in a sociological context. Then the karma of the Group Entity they channel is interwoven with their own karmic destiny.
The hard way to get power in the Spirit after death (which souls in the flesh can prepare for while in bodies), is to strive to live by The Golden Rule, serve others, and Radiate Love and Compassion, while also cultivating Purity and Humility for spiritual stability. Most do not have the motivation or the spiritual discipline to pursue the arduous path of becoming a Light onto Oneself -- as did The Original Creator. That is why none of the traditional "masters" have ever become powerful enough to utilize The Light of God to a large degree and manifest their own respective solar system.
When that does occur someday, then we will know that one or more true Co-Creators have emerged, as the power to do that is way beyond that of even the largest Group Entities.

Also, tantra sex is bull#. All it is is a guy doing what the woman wants/makes the woman feel good. There is nothing special about it, it's what you should do in the first place.
We understand persons of normal sexuality to be those who have no sexual conflicts of any kind.
Sexual energy is divided into three distinct types.
First: the energy having to do with the reproduction of the race and the health of the physical body in general.
Second: the energy having to do with the spheres of thought, feeling and will.
Third: the energy that is found related with the Divine Spirit of man.
Indeed, sexual energy is without a doubt the most subtle and powerful energy normally produced and transported through the human organism. Everything that a human being is, including the three spheres of thought, feeling and will, is none other than the exact outcome of distinct modifications of sexual energy.
The control and storage of sexual energy is certainly difficult due to the tremendously subtle and powerful nature of this energy. In addition, its presence represents a source of immense power that can result in a true catastrophe if one does not know how to handle it...
...Sexual energy is the finest energy of the infinite cosmos. Sexual energy can convert us into Angels or Demons. The image of truth is found deposited in sexual energy. The cosmic design of Adam Christ is found deposited in sexual energy.
The Son of Man, the Super-Man, is born out of normal sexuality. The Super-Man could never be born from infrasexual people. The realm of infrasexual people is the abyss. The Greek poet Homer said: “It is better to be a beggar on earth than a king in the empire of shadows.” This empire is the tenebrous world of the infrasexual ones.
"Never have I slept without a sweetheart
Nor have I spent a single drop of sperm."
- The Sixth Dalai Lama
"By relying upon an external consort... who has matured through Tantric Initiation, the yogi on the highest levels of the completion stage is led to Great Bliss... For this practice one must understand the oral instructions well and have complete control of the vital energies..." - The Second Dalai Lama
"The sexual act performed normally may give a slight notion of the nature of this higher consciousness, but more than that it cannot do, since the energy, instead of being trapped and put to use, is expended... creating a new physical body instead of spiritual consciousness." - Thubten Jigme Norbu
"Seek out a qualified consort (a spouse)
And the secret of the daikinis, (the Great Arcanum, the wisdom of the Angels)
The wisdom of bliss and emptiness will arise within...
Free of dualistic grasping, (of craving and aversion)
reverse the flow of the descending nectar (the sexual energy)
And diffuse it throughout the body... (through transmutation)
Applied well, you will attain Buddhahood in this very life."
- Tipola, from "The Song of Mahamudra"
Q:
"Is celibacy required for Enlightenment?"
A:
"I think generally not. Yet you may ask why Buddha himself eventually became a monk. I think, from the viewpoint of the Viniya Sutra, the main purpose of celibacy is to try to reduce desire or attachment.
"From the viewpoint of Tantrayana, particularly the highest Yoga Tantrayana, the energy "drops" or special bliss is the source of energy to dissolve the grosser level of consciousness or the grosser level of energy. Through experience of that special bliss, there is the possibility that the grosser level will eventually dissolve. So the drops are the key factor for the bliss.
"In Tibetan Buddhism, especially if you look at the iconography of the deities with their consorts, you can see a lot of very explicit sexual symbolism which often gives the wrong impression. Actually, in this case the sexual organ is utilized, but the energy movement which is taking place is, in the end, fully controlled. The energy should never be let out. This energy must be controlled and eventually returned to other parts of the body. What is required for a Tantric practitioner is to develop the capacity to utilize one's faculties of bliss and the blissful experiences which are specifically generated due to the flow of regenerative fluids within one's own energy channels. It is crucial to have the ability to protect oneself from the fault of emission. It is not just a purely ordinary sexual act. And here we can see there is a kind of special connection with celibacy. Especially in the practice of the Kalachakra Tantra, this precept of protecting oneself from the emission of energy is considered to be very important. The Kalachakra liturature mentions three types of blissful experience: one is the blissful experience induced by the flow of energy; one is the immutable blissful experience; and one is the mutable blissful experience. To me, when Buddha took the celibacy vow, at that level he did not explain all the reasons behind that rule or that discipline. The complete explanation comes when we know the Tantrayana system. Perhaps that answers your question. So I think the answer is both Yes and No!" - From The Good Heart by his Holiness The Dalai Lama

Heart Chakra Radiance
The usefulness of any consciousness raising technique is determined by its ability to improve upon one's ability to love genuinely and deeply. HCR has been tried and tested for many years (with a number of mirror sites on the Net which explain it) and has been compared to every other meditation and visualization approach in existence. Occasionally a disciple of mine will bring up a technique for comparison. After analysis, invariably, all of them are found to be less advanced. The innovative approach of HCR is simply unparalleled for advanced spiritual development.
Nous Atom A spiritual atom located in the left ventricle of the heart. This atom is also called the Master Atom and is directly related with the Christ.
"As we have already stated in our book entitled “The Perfect Matrimony or The Door to Enter into Initiation,” the heart of the Sun is constructed like the heart of our human organism. Just as Seven Hierarchs exist in the Sun, who direct the seven cosmic rays, seven brains exist in our heart which belong to the Seven Great Cosmic Hierarchies. The sun has an atomic central nucleus, which is the Atom Nous, and this atom is the dwelling of Brahma within us. This atom is the first vital center which functions in the fetus and also the last atom which stops living in our organism. This atom contains the mind, life, energy and will power of the human being. It has an opal-like luminous aura which irradiates and shines." - From The Revolution of Beelzebub.

Gnostic Kabbalah: The Eighth Commandment
Jesus Christ? Behold the Atom Nous indeed, in whom is no guile!
“I believe in the Son (the Atom Nous within the Heart, a Spiritual Particle of) the Cosmic Chrestos, the powerful astral mediator who links our physical personality with the supreme immanence of the Solar Father.”
Klipoth 4: The Sun
Our heart is the sun of our organism and within its left ventricle we have a Spiritual Atom, the Atom Nous. We have to build an altar within our heart and to put our Being there, to pray to our Being to ask for help in order to act according to the law.
The Transmutation of Sexual Energy (3)
...Ultimately, such channels connect Ida and Pingala with the esoteric heart, a wonderful magnetic center located in the region of the thalamus.
The esoteric heart is the capital center that controls the physical heart. The chakra of the tranquil heart is controlled by the capital chakra located in the thalamus.
Wise esotericists in Laya Yoga say that in the region of the thalamus is found the mysterious nervous channel called Amrita Nadi, which serves the specific purpose of connecting the esoteric heart with the famous Anahata Chakra, the magnetic lotus of the physical heart.
Ida and Pingala, continuing to the heart through this mysterious set of subtle channels, connect the sexual organs to the cardias.
Further research has allowed us to understand that the Amrita Nadi has (besides other functions) the very singular function of connecting the esoteric heart of the thalamus with the thousand-petalled lotus located on the pineal gland, in the upper part of the brain...
Gnostic Kabbalah - The World of Assiah (2)
How does the Energy of the Ain Soph Aur enter into our physical body?
Fire enters into the physical body, our particular Malkuth (Assiah), through the Three Nervous Systems.
Fire comes from from different directions into the Three Nervous Systems of Assiah (the physical body).
This is why we must take care of these Three Nervous Systems.
• The Positive Force flows into the Cerebrospinal NS, the Force of Kether related to Sahasrara Chakra
• The Negative Force flows into Grand Sympathetic NS, the Force of Chokmah related to Anahata Chakra
• The Neutral Force flows into Parasympathetic (Vagus) NS, the Force of Binah related to Muladhara and Swadisthana Charkas, Sexual force
The Pure Light...
...of the Father is Intelligence in Brain.
...of the Son is Love in Heart.
...of the Holy Spirit is Creative Energy in the Sex. Creative energy is that energy which creates.
