I've found that pure nut & essential oils seem to get absorbed really fast and moisturize dry skin well. These are often sold fairly cheaply as a bottle of massage oil. Plus, they smell yummy. Whereas, the commercial skin creams with other gunk in them seem to stay on top of your skin and don't get absorbed very well. So, I think I'm just going to prefer sticking to the natural oils from now on..

Yea, I think chelating mercury and fluoride out are particularly relevant to good health and spiritual growth in today's industrialized environment (due to our common exposure to them now and their particular effects on us).

Texas is an interesting state... On the one hand, Dubya was governor here. On the other, Ron Paul is a Congressman here, and Alex Jones and Patrick Timpone are also stationed here, amongst others... So, you kinda have both extremes, although I would say the older crowd definitely does lean more traditional conservative Republican.

Right, that is the prevailing theory behind the Isagenix weight loss program, for instance. I don't know how proven it is yet, but as I said, I do find it quite plausible... In fact, I think detoxing is going to be the next "yoga" (yuppie health trend) in 5 years.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Manifestation can be very tricky. Hope implies lack of right now. So, if you manifest hope, you are also manifesting lack now. It's like if you wish for a better tomorrow, tomorrow never comes, so you are in a sense always keeping the carrot dangling away at arm's length... Or maybe I'm getting too technical here. I'm sure hope is still better than hopelessness.

The problem with all this added exposure is that mercury bioaccumulates in us over time. Which means that if your mercury intake > your output, you will have a growing problem on your hands. Worse off, our brains are basically mercury sponges and most any mercury we absorb gets converted into inorganic Hg2+ mercury and often stored there. Meanwhile, the pineal gland is also a fluoride sponge. So, I think for health and spiritual growth reasons, it is important to reduce exposure to and chelate these 2 toxic substances out. That we now get "extra" exposure to in our industrialized society. Right now, I'm trying 3-10mg of supplemental boron daily and tamarind to flush F out. Chelating mercury out is trickier and riskier. You need to really know what you're doing before you attempt this, or you could just redistribute mercury around your body. Typically, people use EDTA, Zeolite, DMPS or DMSA & ALA in accordance with specific protocols. It can be a slow, incremental process that can easily take at least 6 months or more. And it's definitely not something you even want to attempt if you still have mercury amalgam fillings... Exactly, the body is known to encapsulate toxins just like an oyster does to form pearls. I venture to guess that this might be one basic operative mechanism behind some weight gain, cancerous tumors and excess calcifications.

New Ageism is the TKD of alchemical ascension? It's a gateway "drug" like weed, but once you cross the river you may no longer need the raft. But, the raft was still initially useful to get you across...

Isn't this allegedly how Shaolin kung fu got started? Bodhidharma came over and found the monks had grown physically weak from just sitting around meditating all day. So, he got them to do some more physical yoga. I notice that if I just go walk for 1/2 hr everyday, I stay in shape and am much healthier, than when I was just purely meditating. Thing is, energetic/physical and cultivation/daily life are all just "false" divisions/dualities, really. They are really all parts of the same whole and synergystically support and crossover with each other. So, underdevelopment in one can hold you back in others. You can only be as strong as your weakest link. Like if you have bad posture or physical health, your energetic cultivation will suffer too. And vice-versa, etc. I think one of the "yellow belt" spiritual practices is dissolving all these illlusive boundaries and integrating everything together more. Certainly, real life doesn't stay within those hard lines and often bleeds through them all regularly.

It's common sense, really. Go hike out in the woods one day and try to find a place to meditate. If you try at ground level in the grass, you'll soon get swarmed with bugs. Not to mention other critters... There are less pesky pests the higher up you go. Also, the air and water are closer to the source and cleaner. However, with less windbreaks and more exposure to the open air, windiness increases. Gets colder too. So, a cave up on a mountainside is a natural compromise to all those problems. I mean, I think a cabin or shelter would serve the same effective purpose, but why build something if there's already something usable there?

Actually, I think the potential toxic effects are more for over 10mg/day of boric acid or borax. But if you stick with <10mg/day of dietary or intended supplemental forms of boron, you should be able to derive health benefits and not risks... Well, I've got a $5 coupon at Vitamin Shoppe so may pick up one of these: Vitamin Shoppe Boron 100 tabs TwinLab Tri-Boron 100 caps Unless I can find a good safety report on small doses of borax, why risk it when safer forms are still plenty cheap?

From what I've read though, it doesn't bioaccumulate and excess gets excreted rapidly: So, I think it is beneficial in safe forms (dietary or safe supplements, but not boric acid or perhaps borax) and in safe dosages (let's say at least 1mg/day up to 10mg/day - so maybe 3mg is a good amount). I think I may try a cheap $3.57 bottle just to give it a run.

^ Lol, I took a pinch the other day, obviously can't tell much effects from that small quantity either way, though... Here's some interesting info on boron, though. Apparently it may help boost testosterone, fight arthritis and strengthens bones. But, 1-10mg is considered safe...while 50mg or more may start showing some toxicity. To get 10 mg then, you'd have to eat 15 oz of raisins or prunes. Although, some say 3mg/day is plenty and 10mg may be excessive. So, that would equal only 3 oz of raisins/prunes. Anyhow, for supplementation, Sooo, I'm guessing the safest way would be to eat sufficient (~3mg/day?) dietary sources of boron.Next might be to supplement with maybe 3mg/day on a periodic flush cycle. Next would be to supplement with more continually. And borax may not really be that dangerous in small doses, but to err on the side of caution, I think I'd rather just take a safer form instead.

Ah thanks! Carries the same warning as the "20 Mule Team Borax," though: So, now I'm looking for a completely safe form of boron, or some knowledge that this borax is safe to ingest in small quantities (like a pinch a day)? I do have a hunch the warning may be overblown as a legal disclaimer, though. I mean, if it really may cause irritation if exposed to the skin, then why is it: Seems a contradiction if it "may cause skiin irritation"...yet also result in "soft, clean, and healthy skin," lol...

Got the link for that? I need to research this a bit more. Some have said the "20 Mule Team Borax" is fine to use...but I have some and on the box it says not to take internally because it contains sodium tetraborate decahydrate. Of course that could be an overconservative CYA warning, but if there's a safer form of boron, I'd rather use that instead!

Yes, VERY interested! So, keep 'em comin'! Where are you located, btw? And is that where your next workshop will be?

Lol, donut-binger, eh? BTW, speaking of borax, I heard it's one way to de-fluoridate your body. Of course, fluoride is known for leeching calcium out of your bones and calcifying soft tissues with it (including your pineal gland), as well as displacing iodine in your thyroid - so there would be obvious health and cultivation benefits to removing excess amounts of it. So, anyone else ever heard of or try this? Just using some borax to pull it out?

agharta - Great post, thanks! Holy crap, that sounds too good to be true! Makes me a bit skeptical...as I have heard that some garlic oil is really mostly soybean oil. So, make sure you're gettin' the real thing. But let me know if that works! If that's really legit, holy shit, I'll try a few bottles at just $5 apiece!!!!

I love the New Age scene, it's like a candy store to me. However, "quantum physics" has become about the most overused buzzword in there...

Wow, that was cool. How'd you come up with that?

Um, what does Iraq have to do with 9/II?

Ironically, I think there's been a war ON, not FOR, our freedom in the last 8 years under the Dubyian neocons. Now, we could say that deposing Saddam and killing a million Iraqis since 2003 was protecting our fiat currency's value and oil supply (and thus first world, soccer mom, SUV-driven lifestyle)...but let's not blindly parrot the neocon rhetoric that we were protecting our political freedom. That wartime propaganda is as legit as Saddam's WMDs.

Wow. This ish is mind-blowing.

Another interesting claim for rebuilding enamel based on chronobiotics: On his May 31, 2008 interview here (25:40), Atom Bergstrom said that you could replate your teeth by eating garlic, onion and cow cheese (like Monterey Jack or sharp cheddar cheese) from 6:15-6:30 PM. That if you hold it in your mouth for 15 minutes during that time, the calcium, silicone & fluorine will rebuild enamel, partly due to the kidney energy peaking during that time (5-7 PM).
