heh heh.

I cant believe I'm the only one who found him unreadable because his books just reeked of ersatzness.

Diet Cola is the nectar of the gods, as taught by Tesco in the Great Teachings of the Discount Codes. I thought all egyptians knew that. Getting Fuzzy Wid It is an age old practice that results in harmonisations of all Fuzz of the Vehicle.

the trouble with you is whiteness and furriness and that egyptian thang.

No, I dont agree that V. writes complicated. I dont enjoy it when people write complicated at all. I do agree it is ideal if we dont begin to say to one another the equivalent of "the trouble with you is.."

Joeblast said it. Ralis, I sympathise with your wish to be discreet about yourself on a public forum. The thing is, we cant hide from one another. It isnt possible.

This is true.

YAY! hagar 1 DrP 0

I also have been taught that how one experiences K is entirely due to one's state of virtue. The more blocked , the more force experienced.

Yes, he's flowing on the topic, which isnt really a topic.. it's the very stuff of existence, which doesnt really exist.. etc etc etc. Liberating. Ultimate Liberation. He is able to penetrate and elucidate that which is apparent when one disapears and there is an illumined no time panoply of all there is will be and ever was. as it were, in brief, so to speak...

ha. I always start laughing when the question about what the ultimate point of it all is, unless I'm looking through a blue mood lense, in which case the world drains of colour, and it is seriously not funny any more... It's time to start laughing, and crying at the beauty of it all. I have to recommend the Tarthang Tulku books about Time Space and Knowledge, for the perspective which answers this. (am working on getting rid of blue lensed glasses..)

ha. what Sean said. My first thought was "the problem is what it is that takes you out of a meditative state.."

Sciencey types talk about how synapses join up in the brain from infantile positive interactions with the breast/mother/primary care giver. Without the mirroring and needs being met and physical contact, the synapses dont join up. They say psychopaths had basic needs ignored in infancy, and their brains never wired up fully, hence as adults they simply lack the sense of 'other' as either fully real or worthy. ie absence of empathic response. I think it is a soul thing. I dont think a soul wants to fully embody, when the world doesnt offer the quality of food which is required.

well, tidying up is good. from an inner point of view, 'cutting the ties that bind' is a good way of finishing stuff that drain / distracts. So in terms of not leaking loads of energy in unproductive ways, Dr Phil is onto something.

ah, it is a continuum. Thankyou.

Yes, you are loved here. What you say in your explication of your beliefs is what I feel without having learned it or read it. You are very articulate in a lovely clear way, thankyou for articulating and explaining. Having an aware chain of inter- causation... as an enlightened being has, is it possible for you to say more about that?

brilliant.

Not everybody likes being high and a lot of people dont even know what it is really like to be high from practice and have absolutely no idea of how high an ecstatic can go. Having a strong tendency toward happiness gives us a smell of the territory, the knowledge there is more , higher states, more obliteration to be experienced, more ecstacy to be felt. If you need to know the extent of your territory.... which is boundless... this is an issue to bring to consciousness, to fully own your personal freedom and your love of space. Coversely there will be a need for containment. Seemingly paradoxically alcohol provided this containment, it is finite, and liquid consumable like mother, it is visible and attainable and measurable and satisfies the need to bring it all into the body: contained. Expand then diminish, alcohol does both, fulfilling a creation destruction cycle neatly enough, creating an illusion of 'something happening'.. which satisfies the need for Event, in a transient way. Considering the three basic requirements humans have for Structure, Recognition, and Incident.... it's worth looking at which needs arent being met, and which ones might be too dominant. ie too much structure makes people want a drink.. as does not enough recognition..

I find what VJ writes and his presence interesting, consistent and of high quality.

It's a platitude to say that alcoholics are looking for spirit, and think they've found it in a bottle... but it can be the case. It's a way to be free from the usual ego constraints: to expand. The alcoholism in my family is a recourse to a socially recognisable way of being not of usual reality, not within usual confines. It's a way of taking permission to be a true self in a culture which discourages that, but indulges a certain level of inebriation. It's also part of my family's wider frame of reference: drinking a lot in Celtic culture is part of the Celtic self image as a people who like to go the edge and look over. The alcoholics I have known/know personally are physically strong ones who keep a top up level of alcohol in their systems the whole day long, starting with brandy in the morning coffee and continuing in a steady stream all day, so that sobriety is never experienced at all. I really can understand it. I've wondered if alcoholism was inevitably going to get me in the end, because of my family history, but actually I cant physically take alcohol much since I began energy work. It makes me ill. I do think that factoring into one's life the need for ecstatic release and space for largesse makes the need for alcohol less pressing.. I dont believe genes dictate alcoholism, I believe a need for blurring of the usual boundaries dictates it, for whatever, many and varied, reasons. So if that is in your family energy field... accept your part in the pattern and find creative ways to do what is needed, to express what need to be expressed. If alcohol was being used as a tool, what was it used for, on the deepest level, and what else could do the job?!

P.S. Have fun!

From Chia and your own spontaneous experiences, you'll know about exchanging.. In terms of playing around together, the Slinger one quoted above is good and a complement to it is Sexual Energy Ecstacy by David and Ellen Ramsdale. Both of those have variety in them - nice ideas - and should last you a long time, long enough that you wont need a book anymore.. or you could write one. In terms of complexities of what to do with sexual energy using the upward draw together, and explaining what it does for you internally to reach the high places and stay there, I only know the Chia book for women, cultivating sexual energy. I think it is very good, really... and probably nothing else is needed. Of course you might want to read other books for fun, but the ones above give you what you need. A very enlightening book is Tantric Love, Feeling vs Emotion by Diana and Michael Richardson. Helps couples to get along better. And a lovely book is Tantric Quest by Daniel Odier, a beautiful account of how Odier discovered Shivaic Tantrism via meeting a female yogi in the Himalayas. It gives you a flavour way beyond the mechanics of it all, deep into the territory of discovering the divine by going beyond your limits in love and sex.
