Dear Hilary,
Interesting that.
I'll quote some from that article
>>>American and German scientists have discovered the genetic signature of a
virus in the brains and spinal fluid of up to 30 per cent of patients with
schizophrenia, indicating a strong link to the disease.
>>>In the study scientists.... examined cerebrospinal fluid — which bathes
the brain and spinal cord — of 35 patients with schizophrenia and compared
it with that of 12 control subjects without the condition. They discovered a
trace of the virus in 29 per cent of the patients with acute schizophrenia
its early stage and in 7 per cent of those with the chronic later form of
the disease
....
You know how over the years I have related Kundalinl's energy to cerebro
spinal fluid in the spine inside and around the brain. In my Kundalini
course we work on getting the spinal fluid reactivated, pumping and
circulating. (My web server is down at the moment so giving you the link to
an illustration is not possible.)
When I was in the thralls of my second bout with K. about 5 years ago,
there were definite symptoms that could be called schizophrenic, the acutely
present audio / visual impressions that I decided to treat as reactivated
memories of times way passed and from early childhood.
My monitor (a well known clinical psychologist here in Victoria) and myself
decided to take that route to the extreme. This man had never heard about
Kundalini but it was heartening how he agreed (after an unfortunate (?)
incident with a psychiatrist to let me follow the directions during those
intense audio / visionary episodes. What was important was that we
separated fear and anger from the intense urges and let it all follow its
own path.
Afterwards I spend some time in a psychiatric ward to work with some
schizophrenics, am at the moment connected with a group of parents who are
trying to have their sons and daughters take my course. Seems quite hard to
have the impetus for this generated by them, that is my only condition, that
they join freely...
Anyway these are hopeful connections in my view, kundalini symptoms and
misunderstood, mis-treated, maybe even misdiagnosed schizophrenia.
The viral part always comes with diminished activity of the lymph system
which in people going through the beginning stages of K is always very low
in energy according to the readings that I get from that bioenergy measuring
apparatus that I use. Many have some lymph-node enlargement, many have an
inactive thymus gland and most have thyroid problems.
Maybe there is not too much wrong with scientists finding a way to thwart
the viral causes, if that is indeed what they found, and if indeed we have
to explain viruses as something detrimental... There is theory that a virus
could be an agent of healing which we traditionally tend to stop in its
tracks... dangerous territory?
When one seen viruses enlarged as produced by an scanning electron
microscope they look like beautifully designed things... some look like
alien space ships....
What do we know?
Love, Wim
