>>>>> "The boy's name Patrick \p(a)-tri-ck, pat-rick\ is pronounced PAT-rik. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "patrician, noble". The Latin original, Patricius, was a title. The Romans once were divided socially and politically into plebeians (commoners) and patricians (aristocrats). The famous Saint Patrick, patron of Ireland (fourth and fifth century) whose feast day is on March 17, has given the name its Irish associations. The name spread outside of Ireland in the 18th century. Padric and Padraic are Irish variants; Patric is French; Patricio is Spanish and Portuguese." So maybe your name means 'muddy coloured nobleman' - (I use the term muddy to be polite of course) - and draw no conclusion about your spiritual awareness.

Becoming changed by Kunlun or Kundalini Shakti is not really in dispute - but whether your DNA changes is the issue. Has anyone actually proved that this occurs by testing DNA before and after? I don't have any problem with the idea that practice alters your body at all but if you are going to make scientific claims then you have to substantiate them scientifically.

OK but tuning in isn't the same as tapping energy.

According to Wikipaedia Ultraviolet C is 'germicidal' UV because it can be used to kill bacteria and steralize labs and so on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet UV is a certain waveband of electromagnetic radiation (shorter than visible light) it gives us sun tans for instance. I think that anyone who states that this type of radiation can be captured or used in internal chi work is confused about the science.

Patrick Are you suggestingthat the vajra cutter is a dildo? Wouldn't this be a little painful?

Origins and ends. Is that where I came from, Or Where I'm going to?

True immortality to the Egyptians was about becoming an "akh" - 'effective spirit'. The spells in the sacred texts were called 'se-akhs' which means something like "akhifiers" or "akh makers". To the Egyptians the created world had three parts - the earth (where mankind lives), the sky (where the gods live) and the Dwat (the inner world or underworld). A person comprises several entities or 'bodies' which can inhabit these realms. The physical body on the earth, the ba in the sky and the ka in the Dwat. The akh being is formed by full integration of these three. So for instance the ba-bird is shown to revisit the body/mummy in the tomb where they together reenact the daily union of Osiris and Ra in the underworld. By spirit or akh the Egyptians meant something as tangible and effective (powerful) as the physical body and not some abstract ethereal entity. So the point about immortality was to become imperishable and not subject to birth and death - as an akh (whether incarnate physically or not).

Witch you say: "Maybe men who act like ibises incarnate Thoth? In other words, I think the Egyptians were talking about physical bodies, not spiritual concepts." Well - the characteristic of Egyptian thought (pre-socratic and pre-philosophical) is that they did not abstract concepts. So for instance a pyramid built to represent the primordial creation mound was that mound. Every temple (or nearly) had its own version of this mound and each was regarded as being the true mound without contradiction. In the same way they could have many creator gods - Atum, Ptah, Amen, Re and so on. Same goes for the sacred ibis, the god Thoth and the man who incarnates Thoth. So if a man is capable of still meditative thought, who acts like an ibis then they are being Thoth. But I have a problem with physical bodies/ not spiritual concepts - to the Egyptians the body was a spiritual thing - the mummification process which produced a kind of divine body. The point is that to the Egyptians reality was composed of and structured by the netcher (gods) so the world was the bodies of gods, so to speak. When the wind blew it was the ba of Shu, the sun was the great eastern ba - actually and not symbolically. There is therefore a direct correlation (as you point out) between physiology and divine power - for instance lactation and Hathor. For this reason milk was seen as being a form of the eye of Horus in the offering formulae. In terms of lactation you might want to look at a goddess called Ipy (a hippo goddess who appears in the Pyramid Texts) her milk is identified with light (possibly the milkyway) which feeds the king on his heavenly journey: "Unis's [says to his] mother Ipy, give this Unis that breast of yours, that this Unis may transport it to his mouth and this Unis may suck that white, dazzling, sweet milk of yours." Unis is the name of the king.

Witch, Why do you feel that you need mercury/Thoth?

merged with intent these many selves are only one. Or maybe none.

Hmmm interesting question and I can't find any reference to an incense specially associated with Thoth - though I suppose you would be safe with Kyphi as "Egyptian". Perhaps best to intuit the right perfume with reference to Thoth associations - i.e. moon, sacred ibis, baboon, healing fo the eye of Horus and so on. Here are some links which don't answer the question but do have ingredients for Kyphi http://homepage.mac.com/scarab1/incense.html http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/trades...fume_makers.htm
