Oh, I see. Sorry bout that.Ganesh is on Sacred Kundalini and Tony had
just written there so that's what happened.
But instead of a syndrome, I

If you run across any material for the female please let me know. I
really can't find much. Did run across some interesting Shaman material
about the woman consort traveling with the shaman after only- his-
ingesting a drug. She goes to all those places and is there to help him
recall when he - returns.She does it drug free.

That's hitting the nail on the head.

Maybe this goes back to the sky or earth path way of thinking.
I read that Dan W and Tony agree and write the same thing, No meat, no
alchohol. A physical purification not for a special short period of time
but a life style.

Actually, for me, I have done the above and other and I find the
senses misgiving and much more trust and work on developing a clarity of
the sixth sense.

It's your view point and I respect that. I always enjoy your posts.
Sceptical? How's this....

Gopi Krishna writes,
"For the proper growth of man on which depends the safety and happiness
of the individual and mankind, it is essential that his mental conent
show a a harmonious and appropriate blending of emotion, will and
thought and that there be a concordant development of the morals and
intellect."
And I also have read that K isn't even necessary to experience Union
with G!d. The more I read the more confusier I git. And when I put down
the books ,the more I close off my senses, (just for me,) the more the
other or 6th sense kicks in.
