Wow! This has caused a storm of misdirection. I have Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder - rather a severe case. So has my son. In order
to get him to agree to treatment I agreed to go with him and submit to
the same regimen. I am unable to take some of the standard medications
as they give me some horrendous dermatological side effects. Thus, I
take dexedrine. It is not an artificial stimulant for me. In fact, I
sleep like I have taken a tranquilizer when I drink coffee for example.
Did you know that J.S. Bach had ADHD and self-medicated with 30 cups of
espresso a day - even wrote a Coffee Cantata (or Toccata I forget
which) in praise of the effect it had for him? The dexedrine or any of
the other medications cause an effect of ordering, quieting, and
stabilizing for me. I have familial palsy for example (fine motor
tremors) and within 20-30 minutes of taking the medication, they
disappear. Unfortunately, the body develops a tolerance for the
dexedrine after a while and thus I stop taking it for a while usually
two weeks and then restart at a low dose. Some would become addicted to
this type of stimulant, but I think only if it has a stimulant effect -
which it doesn't for me. Hope that helps - and gets back to the point.

Dear Dan,
Thank you for your open response. This puts you in a unique position to
answer a few more questions that the rest of us may want to hear.
-
As I read the various Kundalini texts, they seems to indicate that a lot of
physical things are handy (or necessary) in order to have a strong K
experience. These things tend to include:
Strong sexual desire (something to sublimate)
Robust internal structure (enhanced by vegetarianism and other diet things)
Non attachment and open-mindedness
Superb concentration skills
Superior intelligence (I have a cow who can unlock doors and then locks the
door behind it so the other cows don't get out. Even she would not be
eligble for the K it would seem.)
How does all this doctrine mesh with your K experience.
Love to hear from you,
Joe

Here is a poem by : Marianne McDonald
-
It might seem off topic but is really not.
THE MOUSE ON THE BAROOM FLOOR
Some Guinness was spilt on the baroom floor.
When the pub was shut for the night.
Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse and stood in the
pale moon light.
He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor,
- The back of his haunches he sat.
And all night long you could hear him roar,
Bring on the Goddamn cat.

Thoughts of Kundali. To speak of K. is to be
a mystic--and a mystic knows the cosmic union
of the individual mind and heart with the mind
and heart of the Total One, who is K.
But, also is
known as the dark night of the soul---that long search
leading up to the union. These are the feelings
of alienation, pain, emptiness, dispair, disgust
and all that.
- The question of evil and the search
for answers often predates the K. experience.
This experience itself, can throw you into total
confusion due to lack of comprehension, for we have
never been this way before. Your age old value systems
must fall. What used to compute, no longer does and a
total realignment becomes necessary.
This is partly
where the danger is because to loose the old ego is
disintegrating to your whole world.
There you can be labeled as "psychotic,"and
carted off to some insane universe...
to stew for awhile.
It may take months or years
to reintegrat the experience. (Dont get too comfortable.)
An so, as a mystic, the goal is union with the One and
anything short of it wont do. And to be in union is to BE THE ONE,
albiet, temporarily. Love Royale

Beloved Ones:
After having my Tantra early tonight, I feel great
spoiler
-
go on:
It was a great cosmic orgasm (or orgasmus, like we say),
reaching the highest 3-D-elevations just before entering the
fifht dimension; feeling this great ONENES of man and woman,
feeling that high creative process and this force of sexual
energy, the penis is to become bigger and bigger and the woman
gets one orgsam after the other in a row. This liberated sexual
energy helps us to preform into higher realms and as someone
from the k-list wrote, "some of this energy is directly absorbed
by the higher self."
So lets go on!
Have good "Tantras" tonight!
Love simply IS

Has anyone heard of meditating beyond the Qi?
I always thought that Qi was everything. One of my classmates states that he
goes beyond the Qi during his daily meditations. I didn't ask him to
elaborate.
Any comments?????
