Re: Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - book by Montalk

I'm on page 115, and this just gets better and better.  It's great to see everything all tied up in one package like this.  Way to go, Tom!

One thing this book points out that I had never considered before-- that anticipation blocks manifestation.  So many New Age books tell you to anticipate something, but that has never worked for me.  Now that I think about it, there's something desperate about anticipation.  It's a clinging, yearning type of emotion that could very well stop something from coming to you.

Nice, tom.  I've already seen it being posted at other forums and receiving very good comments.

Lono: I also found this to be an intruiging concept that seems to fit in with many past situations I've been in. Looking back I've noticed how when desperately wanting something happen to the point where my mind has been filled with anticipation, progress has often been slow/non existent, yet when my mind has let go of anticipation or found something else more pressing to focus on, then sometimes whatever I was initially after has gone on to occur almost effortlessly.

Re: Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - book by Montalk

This book almost didn't happen... a couple weeks ago I had a bunch of ear ringings and realized maybe something was monitoring me in an attempt to sabotage the book. So I decided to do a backup by saving the file and creating a duplicate. Little did I know that by doing so, I was saving a nearly empty file after having just accidentally cut instead of copied the text to paste elsewhere. Didn't realize this until next day, well after my clipboard had already been cleared of the cut data, so the book was gone.

I considered giving up instead of having to rewrite it all, but later decided to hunt down some data recovery software. Most of it advertised retrieving deleted files, didn't mention undoing saved-over files. I picked the best one and let it search my computer. Nothing came up. Later I decided to fiddle with the settings and do a deep scan taking a long time. Then as luck would have it, one of the generically labeled files turned out to be it... took some perseverance and time to find it though. So fortunately I got it back after all.

Just thought the whole situation was ironic: how in trying to avoid a certain future, I ended up creating it.

Re: Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - book by Montalk

Wow, I had no idea you were writing, then deleting, then re-writing a book! wink

Wonderful. Just bought a copy from LuLu - great price on the book (although the shipping seems to be a lot for a single book)

Thanks Tom! (p.s. Can I get access to the links pages/resource pages?)

Re: Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - book by Montalk

Oh, I didn't rewrite it, just salvaged it from the limbo sector of my hard drive, but only through luck and persistence. It's like before it all went down, there was 90% chance that the book would stay deleted. Through intent and awareness you can bend probability and access that 10%. I think the negs remote view the probable futures, select one that offers maximal success, then make the appropriate manipulations to bring it into manifestation, but the freewill factor is activated by awareness and alters the predicted course of events.

Yeah I don't like shipping either... especially when on Amazon you buy a used book for 99 cents but shipping is four times that. For my book, in the US, shipping via media mail comes to under $2  .... Priority mail is the usual $4 or so.

I don't know how much it is via airmail to UK or elsewhere in the world.  I will look into this and try to find possible work-arounds.

Re: Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - book by Montalk

interesting, the shipping was 8 bucks to california UPS ground. Was their cheapest option....

about the manipulating probabilities of reality etc... it would be intersting to get a focus group together to meditate on a common cause at a regular time.

That's strange.  When I bought Lyra's book, shipping was pretty normal, media mail for $3 or so.  I wonder what's up with Lulu?

I sell books online, and books under a pound ship for $1.59.  It goes up for greater weights, but I rarely spend over $2.50 or so. 

A side note: used book sellers only get $2.26 of the shipping charges on any major venue except eBay.  The venue takes a cut of the rest.  I know this doesn't apply to Lulu and other new books, but I thought I'd mention it.

Re: Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - book by Montalk

After checking what's up, it looks like Lulu lists  the three UPS options first in the pulldown menu on shipping, then starts with the USPS ones. Therefore Media and Priority Mail are in the middle of the list despite being cheaper than the first option. I added a notice to the book page at Lulu concerning recommended shipping options...

Re: Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - book by Montalk

Wow Tom!
You are really a prolific researcher and teacher.
I can see how you are able to stack all these things you've learned into
meaningful sections and then correlate them.  Your website and the
forum are turning out to be a magnificent portal to education and
spiritual enlightenment.  It's like you've established a huge table
onto which everyone including yourself can bring pieces of
THE BIG PUZZLE.  I never dreamed that such a resource could
become available.  Remember when Manly Palmer Hall sent
you an email?  Well, I concur with him. 
Okay, enough.  Let's not gorge the ego too much.
But my appreciation and encouragement I must give you.
I'm gonna order your book in hard copy.
Sincerely,
Tom Paine

You know what the weird part is.....it seems from what I'm getting by reading between the lines of people's posts here at NR that many NR members don't actually know who Montalk is.   !!!!   They arrived here at NR, from whatever referral source....but don't realize that NR is the messageboard forum for the www.montalk.net website. For long time NR members who came here directly because of Montalk.net this would seem hard to believe, but it's what I've seen in some newbie's posts.  It seems that some believe this is just some forum floating around out there, not spawned by or connected to any particular site.  It's also probably why very few newbies are posting anything about Montalk's book and it's mainly just the long-time posters who are....because pretty much only the longtimers realize that this forum stems from Montalk's site! 

Anyway, just had to mention this!

And yes, the book rocks!  smile

Re: Fringe Knowledge for Beginners - book by Montalk

Haven't read through the whole book yet, but I have read the first too (edit: erm two!!  big_smile wink ) chapters and skimmed over the rest (will be reading it all later).  And I really want to say that I love how you have put it all together.  My wife always tends to avoid books and articles on these subjects - but is really enjoying what she has read so far, and will also be reading the whole thing.

Will also be ordering a hard copy.

Great job Tom!!
