I don't think the Bible is meant to be interpretted literally. Like when Christ said "I am the Way the Truth and the Life" I don't think he was meaning He himself literally. My opinion only. Love, Carson

"Until you abandon all your ideas and beliefs you will never truly Know" .... in my opinion anyway. Love, Carson

Well said de_paradise.... I agree. Love, Carson

Amusing ourselves to death? I'd call it "Distracting ourselves to death". Love, Carson

Labels, labels, labels.....Hahahaha. Love, Carson

I have a Christian background and my parents and siblings still participate in a church where people speak in tongues. My understanding of the Biblical perspective on this is that if someone is truly speaking in tongues there will ALWAYS be a translator present. Someone who can interpret what is said. I have seen hundreds of people speak in "tongues" and I believe that maybe about .01% of them were authentic. I often babysit my nephews during the church services (my sibling and her husband are playing in the worship band) and see most of what goes on during them. The pastor (who is maybe 28-30 years old) LOVES to speak in tongues, and does so regularly. I've watched him start speaking in tongues and will see him discretely watching others to see who is paying attention to him. I have never heard anyone translate what he says. I know for a fact that there are people who do speak in tongues and I have heard this and heard someone translate what was said, but I think this is rare. About as rare as a kundalini awakening. Speaking in tongues to me is like having spontaneous kriyas. You can't induce them, they are spontaneous. You can't control it, it just happens when it is meant to happen. It is easy to fake though, and it seems as though it is becoming "trendy" to speak in tongues and more and more people are doing it to fit in and be seen as "holy" or "in touch with God". Personally I see this as extremely fake. Probably an unfair judgement and a complete generalization though. About kundalini awakenings and Christianity. I believe that this is called being "on fire for God", being "slain in the spirit", or being "filled with the Holy Ghost" in their terms. But again I think this is very rare and often faked. But again, there is some authenticity to it as well and I have met kundalini awakened practicing Christians so they do exist. Kundalini is not reserved for any specific practice set. Anyone who is striving for that deep connection to Source is headed one day for an awakening I believe. Love, Carson P.S. I don't think speaking in tongues is reserved for Christians either. I had an experience once where my mantra changed into a language I have no idea what it was, but it was instantly translated in my head to mean "Thank you God". It was one of the most powerful meditations I have ever had.

Namaste All.... I posted this topic on the AYP forum but am getting no responses. Wondering if I may have better luck over here.... Wondering if anyone out there has experience with a specific detox/cleanse. I recently started a Detox-Kit made by the company "-Heel"..... This cleanse has three sets of drops with it and it is meant to be done over the course fo 6 weeks. The three drops are: "Nux Vomica-Homaccord-for the GI system and the liver", "Berberis-Homaccord-for the kidneys and gallbladder" and "Lyphosot-for the lymphatic system". This particular detox was recommended to me by my accupuncturist. So far this cleanse is making me feel REALLY off. Absolutely WAY overstimulated with the whole nervous stomach thing going on. It is also increasing the energy flow to the crown tremendously. Now, I trust my accupuncturist a fair amount, and she recommended that I do this cleanse during the month of May, but it is making me feel really odd and I am wondering if it is the best thing to be doing right now. Any advice? Love, Carson

Here is what it says under recommended usage on the link I provided: In the link SiliconValley provided it says: On my kit it says to use 30 drops of each tincture in the same amount of water as the link I provided. There must be more then one kit. Plus the one I have has a totally different box then any of the ones shown in any link yet. Love, Carson

Yes it is part of a kit, but the one you showed is not the one I am using. Same brand, same stuff, but different potencies I believe. Love, Carson P.S> Here is a link to the one I am doing. They look the same but there are a few difference. http://www.nationalnutrition.ca/detail.aspx?ID=1424 Actually just realized that this one isn't exactly the same either as the one I am doing calls for 30 drops per .7-1.5ltrs of water not 20 drops.

Thank you Karen. I don't think I have any more questions. You have successfully answered them all. (for now anyways, haha) Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom with me and all the others reading this thread. Thank you. Much Love, Carson

Hi and thank you once again Karen...... Hmmm....the labels on my bottles don't say any potency. They say "30ml Oral Drops", the name, and "Homeopathic Preperation", plus a DIN number. Then it has "composition" (without dosages), directions and duration of use. That's it on the bottles. On the boxes of the bottles there is the composition with dosages, but again no potency number. But each box seems to have the name of the "herb" over and over again but with different letters/numbers after it. For example, in the Berberis one the box says Ingredients are: Berberis Vulgaris D2, Berberis Vulgaris D10, Berberis Vulgaris D30, and up to D200. The Nux Vomica one has Byronia up to D1000 at 0.2g per 100ml. Most of the ingredients are at .2g per 100ml despite the D-number. Except for the Lyphoshot one which some herbs up to 10g per 100ml (geranium robertianum D4). Does this make sense to you? Yes that makes sense. All things are impermanent and will change with time. Well I am still getting reactions. Mostly energy ones. A LOT of overstimulation, and a LOT of crown chakra activity spurred by these homeopathic remedies. I can't wait to talk to the acupuncturist tomorrow to see what she says. Yeah I notice just about everything. Sometimes I think I am cursed with "hyper awareness", haha. Yes....I have an inclination that the Lyphoshot one is the one giving me the problems. Don't really know why I feel this way, but I do. I don't want to really screw with dosages and stuff until I can consult the acupuncturist again though. Yes this is very likely. I have been working through some major blockages for the past several months using various treatments and techniques. Makes a great amount of sense. I know that I have GI tract issues because of the amount of "spiritual digestion" I have been going through. A LOT has changed in my life over the past year and it has been hard to properly integrate all these changes smoothly. Am still struggling with this. So you obviously know about ORME's then? (Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements) Are these types of remedies similar? I have always wanted to try Monatomic elements, but if taking these is anything like taking this Heel stuff I don't know if I could handle it. Yes indeed. Assuming that the D number is a potency number. So are you saying I should lay off my practices while doing the detox? Yes your info was very useful and I thank you. I will have a read through your website to try and educate myself a little better *blush*....thanks again! Love, Carson

Hi Karen and thank you once again for taking the time necessary to write such an in-depth response. So very much appreciated. Pretty typical of a capitalistic society Haha. Wow....so interesting. The only substances I have any experience with in WhateverX potency is Salvia Divinorum. I have smoked extracts of that, and have taken the oral tinctures as well. I had always wondered how they upped the potency. Thank you for sharing! Well the kit I have says to use 30 drops of each tincture in .7 to 1.5 litres of water and to drink that every day. Yesterday I could only do 15 drops of each and it was still too much. The box doesn't say the potency. Can you tell what the potnecy would be based on this dosage recommendation? The only warning on the box is to be careful with the Lyposhot because it contains an Iodine ingredient. Ok. NOW I understand the potency differences. Thank you. So would some people be more sensitive to the high energetic potency tinctures then others? Would some people not even feel the high potency energetic tinctures because they are not in connection at all with their energy bodies? I have a feeling that since this set of Heel tinctures has such a seemingly high dose recommendation, that this is an "energetic cleanse" more then a physical cleanse and that I am likely highly sensitive to the energetic cleanse and that is why I am feeling this so strongly? Could that be correct? Wow....it's amazing that the WhateverX potency stuff even works since there is NO origianl material left at all. Sounds like alchemy in a way. Well, I'd be really interested to know what kind of remedy this one is. There was only one Heel detox kit on the shelf of the Health Food Store I went to so there was only one option for me. The acupuncturist never said anything about different potencies either. Just gave me a little piece of paper with "Heel Detox Kit" written on it and told me to get one and do it. Can't wait to see her tomorrow to ask her more about this. Well, I don't know if I am sensitive or not. I seem to fluxuate. I used to be able to take 3 times as many drugs as any of my friends and still be ok, but lately I have been having to back off of my spiritual practices a bit because of overload symptoms and a LOT of crown activity. So in some ways I am sensitive and in others I am not. Thank you very much for all your helpful information Karen. Much Love. Love, Carson

Hi Karen and thank you for your educated input! The label on the box was basically all I had to go on for info, and it was VERY limited. I think there is usually a pamphlet set inside, but mine was missing. Can you explain a little more about how these "tinctures" or whatever they are, work energetically? I know nothing about what these bottles contain. What is in these bottles that isn't in a herb and makes them work energetically as opposed to biochemically? Sorry for my ignorance *blush* Again sorry for my ignorance but this seems backwards to me. Wouldn't low potency mean dose wouldn't matter as much and high potency mean dose would matter? Can you please exlain further? (if you don't mind that is) Actually today I did that. It was still WAY too much. Perhaps tomorrow I will try a quarter dose. Perhaps I am REALLY toxic! Hahahahaha... *blush* Thank you very much for the wonderful information. I am very appreciative. Love, Carson

You need two full kits to complete an entire detox....And for some of us money is tight, so this is a lot of money for me. ($120.....I did only purchase one package for $60 though. I am supposed to pick up another one in three weeks. $60 is still a lot of money for me and the wifey). Love, Carson Oh, and I don't know if she recommends this detox for everyone, but she did say that every single person who had come into her office in the past month or so (and she stressed that she does not make generalizations, but that literally EVERYONE who came through her doors) was experiencing this bringing up of old issues that needed to be resolved. I don't think that she wouldn have recommended a different detox to everyone, but I don't know if she would recommend detoxing in general to everyone either. Sorry for the lack of info. Hi Scott..... Yeah I have been debating over this since I started. The only reason I haven't is because my next acupuncture treatment is in 2 days (thursday). I feel kinda silly calling her asking about this since I will be seeing her so soon, and because I did not start the detox when I was supposed to. I know....ego :wink: Love, Carson

Well she knows what my twice daily practice set consists of, but she didn't mention anything about not practicing. All she said to me when telling me to do this detox was basically that there was a "Neptune" energy passing through during the month of May, and that this is a great time to let old issues surface for inquiry and release, and a great time to detox. She said there was basically a "Cosmic Detox" happening this month. She told me to pick up this specific brand of detox/cleanse, and to do it this month. That was it. I was supposed to start the cleanse earlier in the month, but this brand is ultra expensive and I couldn't afford to start until a couple of days ago. I don't think the timing has much to do with the symptoms I am having though. I feel almost like I drank 3 pots of coffee (and I don't do the caffiene thing often). I feel as though I am vibrating well beyond human possibilities. And my crown is so tingly that I can't stop itching it. The feeling of a swirling wind on the scalp is undeniable. Love, Carson

Oh yeah...the Egyptians used to make a brew of wine mixed with Blue Lotus Flowers. Never tried this one myself, but I know others that have. Don't know the exact benefits of this either sorry. Love, Carson

I am under the understanding that Absinthe and Mezcal are considered sacred alcohols. Just what I've been told. Love, Carson

Back in the day I used to make the ancient anaesthetic, marijuana wine. I would put an ounce of finely chopped bud into a bottle of (expensive) wine and leave it for a month or so. A glass of wine out of that bottle would get just about anyone wrecked. Don't recommend this though. Love, Carson

Thanks for sharing Yoda.....I'm passing it around as we speak....uh, as I type.... :wink: Love, Carson

I often get a yawn here and there while doing pranayama..... But it doesn't seem to come only on the in breath OR on the outbreath. I can be halfway through either the in-breath or the out-breath, can be at the bottom or top of either breath and STILL get an uncontrolable yawn. To me this seems to indicate that "lack of oxygen" can not be the cause. Don't know what actually IS the cause though Love, Carson

Hi lostmonk.... Not trying to justify anything..... You should try googling "Ibogaine Treatment". They use this one for example in treating opiod (and other drug) addiction. People who have been addicted to heroin and methadone for decades for example, can get clean in literally 7 days with no withdrawals. That's just one of the entheogens I mentioned. They ALL have applications like this. Stigma does noone any good. Love, Carson

I don't know about TCM and other holistics using illegal "Drugs" persay, but I think if some of the sacred plants that are illegal now were not, they would get more use by said professionals. The ones I am thinking of in particular would be Iboga, Banisteriopsis Caapi vine and some other Harmala and Harmaline sources, some natural sources of DMT, perhaps some strains of Marijuana, Psylocin and Amanita Muscaria mushrooms, Salvia (probably as a tincture not as a "smoke), and peyote. There may be a few others I am forgetting, but these are the ones that come to my mind right away. I know that these all have some theraputic effects if used with proper intention. Love, Carson

Looks like you have found the/a crux of the matter here Jen_A_Kins.... Time for some extra sensitivity from you in this area, and time for him to start investigating. I will send you that book asap as I know it will help. Good luck. Love, Carson

Cat is right....don't try to understand with the mind. "Mind understanding" is not "Knowing" which is what is really worth striving for IMO. Forget about trying to "understand" and just let go....then the "knowing" will start to appear. Love, Carson

Hi alfa, There is no danger of the "squint" becoming permanent (even though my parents used to tell me that if I stayed crossed-eyed too long they would stay that way forever). Just like there is no chance that if you pout your lip an angel will come down from heaven and pull it to the ground and it will stay there. (my parents used to tell me that too as a child.) No, this will not damage your eyes in any way. In fact it is a great exercise for strengthening weak outer eye muscles. Love, Carson
