Matter-energy (for example, a human being) is conscious of itself. Why
do we study ourselves? Why does matter-energy study itself?
[Dd>] I think you'll need to understand first that behind matter is energy
and behind energy is consciousness. To this end you might realise that
human beings also have mind which is far more than matter-energy (which are
essentially blind without mind).
Animate consciousness arises from metazoic structure, and so naturally we
get complicated mind, and so finally in this world of ours, we get human
structure. Because of this physical complexity, the mind has also become
complex and complicated. It has everything to do with mind, rather than
with 'matter-energy'.
In this regard, human mind is related to hormones secreted from different
glands and sub-glands; those hormones control each and every propensity of
human mind. That is why in intuitional science/spiritual practice/medita
tion a spiritual aspirant seeks to channelise related energies and to
control the mind or its propensities which are being controlled by the
glands and sub-glands. Otherwise matter-energy is a plain mess.
Human beings may be intellectually developed but they function within their
physical structures. Certain points of their brains act as nuclei, which
help them to operate different functions and nerve cells and entire nerve
functions. Also in a human body the controlling point is the pitutary
gland, the seat of consciousness which controls directly the conscious
mind, indirectly, the sub-conscious and more indirectly the unconscious.
Humans are more psychic oriented rather than physical (matter) oriented, ie
the glandular structure is related to the chakras. All tendencies of the
mind/psychic structure can be converted into a spiritual wave. There are 50
such tendencies. 49 of these are fundamentally 'unstable'. Only the base
of the 50th propensity, ie 'para', (spiritual knowledge) is stable - that
which is stable is directly related/linked to the Pure Spiritual Awareness.
It is that which much be achieved. The awakening of the kundalinii is a
movement towards that alone - pure consciousness. People get sidetracked
with other symptons on the way including try to get the be all and end all
out of energy/matter manifestations.

Ruth, thank you for your suggestions and I am *SURE other
women would agree with* you. And of course you
would have a better preconception of who the audience is
than I would and I guess I should limit myself accordingly.
Your distinction between the noble Hindu and the unlearned
American male raises doubt as to its validity as both seem to
be equally bigoted and sexist from what I gather. In any case if
I were a woman I don't think I'd want to spend 3 hours with either
of them - but I guess I can't speak for the opposite sex.
And I guess
you have more time than any us mere mortals in terms of the sexual
hierarchy where length of time seems to play such in extremely important (or should
I say impotent) role. I would
imagine that a person who has removed all mental/psychic
disorders of the caste system methodology of the Hindu and one who is
more caring than the favourite character of the unlearned
American male would be a better preference.
In any case, I don't think I've known of a condom that's lasted for 3 hours - which I would
gather would be a precaution that even that superhuman male of yours would wear just in case
there was some slight slippage of semen that might spill leading to the paranoia of the rebirth
of another child and the awful possibility of having to spend time with children thereafter (if
of course the hormonal side effects of the pill are not of great concern to you in the first place). But
then again an abortion may be the price to pay for loosing those valuable 3 hours which mean
so much more in terms of freedom of choice.
Of course, time being the all important factor - what does anything else matter. In any case I wonder how
the measurement of time creeps into it at all if indeed the scenario portrayed is such a transcending experience.
In regard to the diary, it would be difficult to find as there simply
isn't any, and what purpose would I have in writing any kind of
autobiography - one must first acquire some mystic esteem to
obtain a readership of that type (and undoubtedly a web page is
needed to portray the requisite image :).
Time ... is it of such importance ... or is it perhaps your own dogma.
You know they say Love transcend time ... or is this a realisation you care to do without.

[Dd>] Ms Trimble, Love is not dependent on time and if you have not
realised that what in the *foreplay* are you trying to achieve from the
reading of the voluminous books on the 3 hr orgasm - are these read in
between those small moments where contemplation is possible.

Finally came to see a pattern that has been going on for about 6
months: I'll get bone-weary, feel like I'm coming down with something
(I am, for heaven's sake!), and emotionally thin-skinned. Worst of
all, I feel distant from God/dess -- I don't go into complete doubt
anymore, though, the k-awakening made those days history. After a day
or two of slow, inexorable sinking, a sight, a melody, or even a lucid
dream will trigger emotional release and then a warm river of "knowing"
that might be about my life, or humankind, or the Divine. The insight
is transcendent and deeply comforting. The next day I'm nearly
physically well again. Now, you'd think I'd be clued into what was
going on by the hot back and the constant sexual arousal, but no, I'm
just caught up and miserable in the little "i." What I wonder is
whether next time I'll have to get sick. Holly

I have to disagree sex is a big deal for me and I love it , when ever i can
get it!!!!!!!!!
It has always been important to me, right down to the fact that two people
create not just another person but I believe they create another
soul(spirit). the holy trio mind, body and soul. That power of creations
just knocks my sox off and even sex for fun is still creating something in
both people ............if onlly estacy, joy, elation than again maybe
just trust , closenes and aceptance. It's all good even when it isn't all
good and two people learn more aobut each other, themselves and sex, it's
all good in my book and I am grateful when things work out and I feel the
need to create with another human being..................
just my 2 sense

Hi Gloria:
Your understanding of the process of Kundalini Rising is totally awesome.
I want to publically salute you for your unfailing adhesion to clear
unfettered truth in these matters.
You wrote:

really is a different path, one that only takes you farther and farther
into that direct experience with God. The word love means one thing to
one working from the solar plexus...even with advanced sight through the
third eye, when the person is heart centered, love is entirely
different. It is detached, impersonal, yet selfless and will to

love of the Divine for humanity, instead of the personal thought, ideas,

I think the discussion of time and sex is somewhat missing the point. Time is
something that is at your disposal, use it as you wish. What is important here
is intimacy and the shared experience that becomes possible when one works with ones sexual partner in this sort of way. Ongoing feedback is key,
and the sharing has the potential to become much deeper. The boundaries
between yourself and your partner blur and disolve.
As i read this book...."The Multi-Orgasmic Man" by Mantak Chia...it seems very much directed at enhancing the sexual pleasure of men. The benefits to
the female partner are also quite obvious, and i believe Mantak Chia has
written a book on the female sexual response also (noticed it while browsing
down the list of his books at www.amazon.com).
What these methods work towards is to make ejacualtion a choice, and to be
much more in touch and aware of the responses of ones own body, and by
working with a partner of theirs as well. It also brings awareness of the difference between ejaculation and the male orgasm. This is an important
distinction, and one that i was not really aware of before working with these
methods. Oh sure, there were all those little waves before the big bang, and
there was already the tendency to ride in those little waves to prolong the act,
but this was more related to satisfying my partner rather than just to enjoy the
little waves themselves. Well, turns out those little waves can get real big, as
big as the big bang itself, bigger than some big bangs, and there are a lot of
these waves, and they can go on and on and on.
So time isn't really what matters here, much more the cooperation to make
this sort of thing possible, it approaches bliss itself. Sure three hours is a
possibility, or you can go 20 minutes, and be ready for more a little later.
Not ejaculating circulates much of that energy back into the body, and this has physical and spiritual benefits as well, besides providing further enhanced stimulation. There are times that i may want to ejaculate, and my
partner may also want this input from me. At other times the surges may just
send one over the top (esp if one is new at this), which is ok too. It is love and
play after all. Enhanced is kind of the keyword here. Enhanced pleasure, feelings, interaction, bonding, control, awareness, everything is enhanced.

Excellent explanation. Very linear and logical. But it still begs the
question.
It can be entertaining to conjecture answers to the question, but I
don't think there is a single, precise, logical answer. You can talk
hormones, quantum physics and other facts until you're blue in the face,
but at some point you will reach non-linearity, irrationality.
For example, what is the boundary between Pure Spiritual Awareness and
normal awareness? When can we say we have crossed it? It's not a
question that has a precise, logical answer.
Another example: we are aware of the known and the unknown, but what is
their shadow. Every day we move some of the unknown into the known,
thus the unknown is clearly knowable. But what is unknowable? In our
dualistic universe there must exist manifestation, anti-ideas,
anti-facts which are beyond the ability of our consciousness to grasp.
The more closely we look at the universe and the consciousness it
reflects, the more of an unfathomable mystery it is. Regardless of the
mountains of facts uncover. Trying to explain the mystery with our
hard-found facts is a reaction to the fear that we are not in control
and that we don't know everything.

Ruth, you too are loved. Regardless of the duration of your orgasms and
sneezes.
By the way, my sneezes usually last much less than 3 seconds. I wonder
if there is a Hindu method to extend them as well......

Gloria:
Of course you can. Our job is to bring down the light as clear as is
humanly possible, wherever it is to flow is exactly what God intends for
it. It is such an important question that Valerian asked, those
questions are often more important then the answer.

I have been working on doing away with expectations for a long time,
usually successfully. I try to give gifts without worrying about getting a
thank you card, in more ways than one. My difficulty comes in that people
don't believe it, because it is so foreign to their experience. They often
think I am "up to something."

And I need to be more patient with those for whom so many rules and limits
still apply. My co-workers for instance.

I feel that way about the past, still into dreams about the future though.
I read that book called "BE HERE NOW" by Baba Ram Dass back when I was a
teenager, still haven't got there [ or HERE :) ], however. I often have
that faraway look. People just assume I'm "absent minded" which makes them
smile, or ignoring them, which pisses them off.

Yeah, keep hoping I'll get tougher, but the opposite keeps happening. I'm
like a radio with too many antennas.

Tell me about it. I often feel like a head floating in space.

Oh, *much* more assertive, me. Not exactly what old friends and family had
in mind, though! :P

I often only give people half a message while the rest plays in my head. I
perceive that they will get the rest by osmosis or that they must already
know it! It is helpful when they say "I don't get it!" Then I give them
more words and images until they do, or at least they pretend they do to
shut me up! ;)

I too am working on acceptance. That the weirdness that is me must be
needed by the world or I wouldn't be here, right?
