Dear Dieter, Ruth, Freda, Denise, Blythe and the rest of the list:
 
I feel compelled to stick my big old fat face in here. Dieter's post did 
concern me a bit. And let me say right up front that my opinion is very 
colored by the horror that was my first marriage. My husband of the time 
thought that too much "lower chakra activity" (to euphemize) was what 
caused his father to be in poor health. (Gee, wonder if it was the 
alcoholism? Nah! That couldn't be it).
 
Therefore he considered sex a necessary, but to be avoided if possible, 
evil. (Didn't know this before I married him, obviously, stupidity and the 
need to escape my family of origin, blah blah blah).  And since that was 
pretty much "all I was good for" (other than the cooking and cleaning), it 
meant that unless he had "that" in mind, he did not even care to give me a 
hug. I nearly died (literally) from lack of affection until I had children 
who I in turn nearly smothered with my need to be close to someone. (We've 
all had therapy now, thank you). He also found women in general to be kind 
of "icky". This also led to when "it" did happen, "it" was over as quickly 
as possible. He had to limit his exposure TIME (there's that word again, 
Dieter!) to the toxicity that was femaleness. (Note to unauthorized readers 
of this email: hope you're enjoying this :P).
 
So, Dieter.... I sense a similar attitude toward women in you. Especially 
in how you have responded to those of us of the female persuasion when we 
disagree with you. You implied all sorts of things about Ruth, and how her 
preference for long sessions must mean that she is into abortion, etc. 
Rather mean-spirited. Must be all that Testosterone you are hanging onto. 
Except for the "excess" which you "drain off" by doing "it" with your wife, 
as if you are emptying the excess of your bladder. When I read this post on 
your sexuality, I thought "OH, now I get the Dieter gestalt." My mind 
remains open, but I just have to admit that I have, temporarily at least, 
put you in the "Men Who Think Women Are Icky" category. I would be 
interested to hear from your wife as to how she experiences you. Does she 
have any idea you feel this way? That she is a "waster" of your life force, 
on the one hand, and a receptacle for your "excess secretions" on the 
other, that is. <engage sarcasm mode> How that must boost her self esteem! 
<disengage sarcasm mode>
 
Ruth, thanks for pointing out that one doesn't *have* to "waste" one's 
essence (if that is the way one chooses to see it) even in long sessions, 
thereby pointing out to the men on the list that they can have their cake 
and eat it too, so to speak :).
 
Freda, I also agree with you that it doesn't *always* have to last forever 
to be fun.
 
Denise and Blythe, thanks for asking some very interesting questions. I 
wonder if Dieter has any answers for you?
 
And to the rest of the men on the list I hope you don't take Dieter so 
seriously that you think your health is in danger if you give your wives or 
girlfriends too much "affection." There is even a time for excess! (And I'm 
*not* talking about self-destructive sex addicts who do grievous harm to 
others as well as to themselves.) A little excess now and then, (even a 
little celibacy now and then), for most of us, helps us define what our 
boundaries are.
 
Can't we all just get along? ;-)

Hello!
 
I must share with you the experience I had on Thanksgiving this year. Don't 
know if I have the right words (like that's stopped me in the past!), but 
here goes:
 
I was sitting at the dining room table with my mother and one of my sisters 
when the subject of another sister came up. I stated that I would no longer 
participate in supporting her emotionally dishonest and self-destructive 
lifestyle by "going along" and pretending everything is ok (while my 
stomach churns and I feel a choking sensation in my throat). My mother 
began packing my bags in preparation for a long guilt trip, wanting me to 
remain part of the undifferentiated co-dependent glob that is my family of 
origin. Something in me snapped, and a tumble of words spewed forth from my 
mouth that I seemed to have no control over, like Tourette's Syndrome or 
something. Perhaps it was truth demanding to be heard. There was a pressure 
and a heat, but not the uncomfortable, fiery anger that I have felt in the 
past. Well, Mom was shocked, taken aback, etc. I could tell she was hurt. I 
was not sorry for telling the truth, but I was sorry for my inability to 
express myself better. I put my arm around her and immediately apologized, 
without even thinking, something I had never done before. Usually I hang on 
to my self-righteousness and pride for awhile, until things get blown all 
out of proportion, etc.
 
I felt this detached, peaceful sort of love for her, and though tears came 
to my eyes, I felt little pain, very new to me. Who would have thought I 
could do this with my mother, the source of so many intense emotions?! I 
now understand how one can be loving and detached at the same time.
 
gobble gobble,

Tell me about it! I spend 40 hours a week with a large group of people who 
are totally uninterested in discussing anything beyond 2d reality, and the 
dullest corners of 2d reality, at that.

Learned some painful lessons about this, myself. I finally made myself a 
sign that I hung in my office that says "Think before you speak."

Yes! Which is one of the reasons why this list is so important to me. I 
have a lot to learn, and a lot to express (valid or not, wise or not, 
entertaining or not). Muzzling myself *all* the time takes more energy than 
I possess.

That goes double for me.

Have you read ESO?????  Abook called Extended Sexual Orgasm.  I read it 
back in the seventies or early eighties I don't remember the author, it 
deals with the male and the female aspects of this topic you are

Please let Dieter out of this box.  I am a woman who has been generously 
helped by very kind and well thought out private emails from Dieter, who 
would never have wasted his time had he thought I was "icky."  It hurts me 
everytime I read attack thoughts coming from list members to each other.  We 
are dicussing very big and controversial issues on this list, and active 
debate is wonderful.  But remember, we are debating the concepts and 
opinions, not individual personalities or circumstances.
 
The subject of sex is always such a powderkeg for discussion anyway, 
especially since kundalini movement can affect it so dramatically.  One of 
the side effects when I had my spontaneous kundalini activation was that my 
sex drive shut down cold for awhile.  Very, very scary.  But guess who got me 
through it?  People on this list.  I got very thoughtful and loving help from 
a woman who is a frequent target for criticism on this list and who would 
probably scare the feces out of me if I ran into her on the sidewalk, one 
Angelique, AKA Serpent.  And guess who else offered elegant and sage advice 
to help me to understanding?  Gloria, AKA Church Lady.
 
We can all help each other while never telling another person he or she is 
wrong.  We are so fortunate.

LOL!  What wonderful perspective you have.  It is easy to get dragged 
into the boys against the girls game, and words like yours help us all 
to just get along.
 
Men and women love each other with almost irresistable, unintended 
attraction.  That fearful lack of control induces hurtful words and 
actions unless there is sufficient detachment.
 
Men and women have a different approach to many things like knowledge, 
spirituality, relationships, etc.  It is not that either men or women 
are doing it wrong, but that our expectations of one another get 
disappointed so easily that can be a sticking point.
 
So don't feel harassed by the opposite sex.  And if you do, don't blame 
them and lash out.  That just tends to make the situation escalate.  A 
sense of humor helps to relieve the tension.  Sensitive, respectful 
observation of our different ways and means is a stong foundation.
 
Love and honor to women and men. 
Jason.

Thankyou. My thoughts as well. Being a `mere male' it is only at the urinals of life that I believe there is a difference!!  Are we not yin and yang, good and bad, love and hate, male and female. Is it not when this internal balance is out of step that  we react and possibly destroy.
 
Bless you

I found in a french book called "La Source Noire" references about an american (Monroe), 
who had a K.A. and dedicated his life to study it from an engineer's point of view. 
He found out that a 4 Hz sound could induce an out-of-body experience, and 
because the sound was kind of hard to reproduce, used a difference of to higher frequency sounds. 
What can you tell me about this or any other "scientifically" (more or less) methods to encourage K.A.?
 
P.S.: I developed a very self-controlled mind, and I think I could adjust easily my way of life, if a had a K.A. 
I didn't stick to one method alone, because none seemed efficient to me, making links between them and finding out 
that, in parts, some were better. I came to the conclusion that the best way is each one own's way. 
When I concentrate enough, I fill like I'm almost out of my body, I'm almost there, but I never seem to make it. Therefor 
I seek someone who could help me with it just once.

Thanks for the reference. I did a search for the book at amazon, and came up 
with "ESO: How You and Your Lover Can Give Each Other Hours of Extended Sexual Orgasm" by Alan P. Brauer & Donna Brauer, and i ordered 
it. From the synopsis of the book they had there, it sounds excellent.
 
The book on female sexuality i had referred to in my previous post is "Healing 
Love Through the Tao: Cultivating Female Sexual Energy" by Mantak Chia & 
Maneewan Chia...(also available through Amazon).

Hi,
 
For those of you who are interested in fractals, I have posted a new 
gallery on my website.  Gallery IX features the Golden Mean and other 
Pythagorean Sacred Geometry fractals.  Be warned though, that k-active 
people may have strange reactions to these particular images.  :-)
 
These reactions range from 3rd Eye energy fluctuations, to "spontaneous" 
meditation, and in some people disorientation, with a number of stops in 
between.  Some k-actives feel as if they are actually inside, or even 
beyond the fractal.
 
The site also has a new homepage Fractalscape---a picture I call "Merkaba." 
Two new original fractal MIDIs have been added, too.
 
Later on tonight (I hope) there will be a new wallpaper page.

Dear Freda and Dieter: 
It is often true when one writes on email, one can misunderstand and be 
misunderstood. I have found it sort of goes with the territory.. having no 
other signals to go by but words on a page.. and in my screen.. pretty 
small words at that.  
So I think that some of you have not understood what I wrote about the 
possibility of having cosmic intercourse by usingthe sexual energy instead 
of wasting it.  If you Freda experience both.. this is the best of all 
worlds and I have no "narrow" opinion on what you are doing. Lucky you. 
I merely feel that so many women I know suffer horribly from men who are 
not aware of the power they have to create a wonderful union with their 
partners. In MY experience, I have rarely ever found an American who has a 
clue about this power. I have found men from other countries almost all 
seem to know about it... and treat this behavior as the "norm"....I just 
decided that I would give you Dieter something else to think about and 
maybe, just maybe open up your consciousness to something other than 
worrying about how many times you have had sex in a week.   
Many people have written to me to get the name of the book.. and thanks to 
Rick... the author's name is now given me.   
Mantak Chia.. "The MultiOrgasmic Male"...I read it at my friend's house. 
She is a tantric goddess living in Maui.  It is her business to teach men 
this.

DUH! I don't read books about life Dieter.. I live it. You might be 
surprised how much contemplation it takes to achieve a 3 hour orgasm...and 
how much awareness comes through it.  How could one read about this unless 
one were looking?  When I first knew about this in the 70's...there were 
no books about it except perhaps in India in Hindi. Actually I had orgasms 
then that lasted over 2 days... fortunately I was a grad. student and did 
not lose my job...!ATnospam# Ha aha... the modern day sadhu..ecstasy in the west. 
Why are you so resistant to this idea? Fear? Challenge?  Hmmm.

and all cover Supreme Spirit, ATMAN : 
1. ANNAMAYA KOSHA physical body 
2. PRANAMAYA KOSHA subtle,vital body 
3. MANOMAYA KOSHA body of senses 
4. VIJNANAMAYA KOSH inteligence, will

Yes, practice diffrent forms of pranayama, all kind. This will 
fortify pranamaya kosha who's reponsable with all vital function 
of physical body and also it's what you see when make a picture of 
your aura. (Kirilian picture).
 
Hope will help this. 
***Tip: read traditional yoga book and you will learn from there 
many interesting things.

In Siddha Yoga there are only 4 bodies:
 
Gross, subtle, causal and supracausal.
 
But I don't think there is anything wrong or any single correct System. 
There are infinite ways to look at the same thing.  We are infinite 
bodied, it is just that there are some major bodies that concern the 
seeker.
 
For example, look at a perfect cube.  It has at least 3 major bodies:
 
1. Looking directly a one flat face it looks like a square. 
2. Looking directly at one corner it looks like a pyramid. 
3. Looking directly at intersection of 2 faces it looks like a tent.
 
And there are infinite possibilities between those extremes.  To impose 
a certain configuration or geometry on the soul is to limit ourselves to 
the confines of our imagination.
 
Jason.

my question concerns women after menopause, when ova are not 
ripening anymore, and sexual secretions are close to nil. How, then, the 
effects of sexuality on the transformation lymph to other fluids? 
Blythe 
[Dd>] 
I would gather that what is fundamentally important is the production of  
lymph. In this regard, it would appear not to matter that there is no  
conversion or usage in relation to ova (or spermatozoa - males).  Although  
by no means any kind of authority in this area - I hope to get some advice  
from medical friends who also have a good understanding of glandular  
structure, chakras and the like.  Many books are somewhat vague on this -  
referring to 'spiritual essence' etc - but this terminology must be related  
also to lymph.  It would also appear that medicial opinion is not entirely  
consistent either.
 
In short, if there is no ripening of ova or sexual secretions it matters  
little to spiritual welfare.  The same would apply to males, ie if semen  
cum spermatozoa is not regularly created then it matters little.  What is  
important is the health of the lymphatic system of the body and its related  
fluids and how that is related to mind and healthy glands which in turn  
relate to healthy psychic/mental condition and therefore to spiritual  
awareness and spiritual growth.  It is when the lymph is depleted and  
disease resistance is low that physical and mental health deteriorates.  
 This may affect the psychic structure of the human being if the related  
propensities related to those chakras and the ability to maintain balance  
in the psychic structure and the chakras  is affected.
 
In this regard, the fact that in males semen is produced but not expelled  
is not necessarily a good thing as Ms Trimble claims.  Indeed the question  
of excess semen production in the first place is the critical issue - and  
whether it be expelled externally or somehow retained internally (in Ms  
Trimbles school of though) during intercourse is equally deleterious.  In  
either case, it would appear that some spiritual essence has been converted  
into a more crudified form when in fact that essence and lymph could have  
been more usefully used as food for the brain and the healthy maintenance  
of glands and the overall impact this has on the psychic condition of human  
beings and related spiritual awareness and growth.
 
So the more restraint then the better it is and the less sexual desires the  
better as well.  That leads to ability to develop other aspects of life and  
human expression at higher levels, greater compassion, depth, and other  
abilities, etc.  The greatest urge being to know the self in the sense that  
one's unit soul is and always was the same as the Supreme Soul - except  
that the sugar coating of the I-feeling and ego delineates our recognition  
of this.
 
Also, note that the second chakra has 6 propensities - disdain, stupor,  
over-indulgence, distrust, fear of annihilation, pitilessness.  The  
propensities (vrtiis in sanskrit) of over-indulgence and fear of  
annihilation would be related to sexual urges and imbalance in this area  
causes imbalance in relation to other propensities and imbalance in human  
expression (eg distrust and lack of mercy).
 
Hopefully my medical friends can expand on this further, soon.
