  Ack. Not funny. That really happens.  
  500 people accidentally commit suicide every year, playing with 
autoerotic asphyxiation. Last year, one of the 500 was a beloved.  
  Saw it coming a mile away, written in his palm lines and his addiction to 
breathlessness, born of childhood asthma and choking crises caused by birth 
defects.  
  Addicted to NDE... one day it was bound to go too near and become DE. 
  Nothing I could do, to change his path. Tried with all my arts, and all 
my love.  
  Almost all.. I could not bring myself to play those games with him.  
  Free will is.  Miss him still. 
  No breath control games allowed in my dungeon.. house rules. 
  Keep the rope below the neck, please.. choose pleasures that allow you to 
keep on breathing.  
   ****************************** 
  Water. 
  I have a new slave who is very psychic... he brought a guest last night 
who he told about me, who really wanted to meet me, and was not sure why.. L.  
  I have learned to recognise the confusion of curiosity promptings from 
higher self. Gave her K-fire. Woke the heart voice. Then she understood why 
she had instinctively wanted to meet me. .. LOL!  
  When I asked her to ask the heart voice "by what term shall I refer to 
you? What are you?", a tricky question to begin with, since Goddess is 
nameless.. there was an energy shift, and then it said it's name was Moira. 
Wot?  
  .. an uninvited guest.. they had just seen "Titanic".. the uninvited 
guest was an irish maid who followed them home from the theatre. She was 
knocked unconscious when a hatch cover fell on her head, and drowned when 
the ship sank. A ghost-toastie from the Titanic. I spoke to her and 
persuaded her into the light of my own heart.. shivered as she went out my 
crown.  
  It was in the highest good. When Moira had gone, the woman told me she 
had also been haunted by a small child at a previous residence. Summoned 
it, sent it off into the light, as well.. this time into her heart and out 
her crown chakra.. a tight squeeze, being newly opened.. she said it felt 
like giving birth out the top of her head. Angels helped.  
  The ghost's prescence showed me what the seeker needed to learn. If not 
for it's interference, I'd not have thought to teach such a newbie to do a 
"rescue", or the difference between hearing a ghost, and hearing the voice 
of God. Since she is prone to hauntings, it is good info for her to know.  
  I trust my house spell.. if the ghost had not been in the highest good, 
it would have been tossed out by the house guardians before we even noticed 
it's prescence.  
   Protection from spirits is easy.. but toss 'em out, pass the buck.... 
they just go bug someone else.  Sending them Home instead is merciful. 
Wandering lost spirit, is not an enviable state to be in. 
 
   Then we three sought more info on Titanic spooks.  
  There are over 600 ghosts associated with that old wreck.. many who 
survived the sinking never recovered from the trauma, and so haunt it 
anyways.. some went there after, seeking loved ones they had lost and never 
stopped grieving. 
  Attention to this film is bringing them out of the deeps and into the 
theatres.  
  This may be in the highest good.. some folks have ran away from scary 
hauntings, and into Goddess' arms.. that is part of the purpose of the 
dark. So we may have free will choices to choose from.  
   But I feel called to do a mass rescue. Send them Home. 
   Goddess gave me the idea, I trust She'll give me the juice to do the 
deed. The Captain will help..  
  Still, I have never done a rescue on anything like this scale before.. 
mebbie no-one ever has.. the principle is the same... but your prayers, 
love and support for myself, and those I seek to help, are certainly 
appreciated.  
  One ghost passing thru the doorway of my heart is a shiver, what do a few 
hundred feel like?  Hmmm. I will be more carefully prepared, but still.. 
Any alternative rescuing techniques anyone out there can offer, would be 
appreciated. I am getting some interesting info, myself.. constructing a 
panama canal sized light doorway, for the captain to sail the whole boat 
thru..?  Hmmmm...  
 
  I find myself wondering, what would the planet feel like, if we cleansed 
all of the old battlefields, and all of the cemeteries and concentration 
camps of the lost souls that wander there?  
  I am also wondering if the movie box office returns will drop, once there 
are no longer spirits providing their stuck emotional energy for ambience?   
  Blessings, Mystress.

Lady, I am sorry for your loss. 
I do not play those games.  
But let me ask, isn't part of what we do, as we let go and fall into orgasm 
and release, as we become one with Spirit and flow everywhere, 
aren't we practicing dying?

This is also something that Spirit asks of me. Others I know are also called 
to do this.  Perhaps it is the job of all who hear or see this. Certainly it 
is a job that needs more people to do it. 
 
 When I find a place that cries out, I chant and smudge and ask that energy 
return to the mother, or to whom it belongs. I can hear and feel much better 
than I can see right now. (That's OK, I'll see when I'm ready) So I hear the 
pain rather than seeing the ghosts. 
Saturday I asked Spirit for help to clear a place on the road where there 
had been two fatals in the last month.  
The pain came at least as much from the angry survivors as the victims, and 
helped trap the souls there. It made a vortex that called more to it. 
 
Blessings, 
Barbara

from established systems -  
ie: where kundalini training came from to begin with.
 
patajalis sutras (one of hundreds of references)
 
any excess of any of the senses (sense gratification)
 
always leads to the same results
 
1.short term memory depravation 
2.increasing inability to satisfy the senses leading  
  to more extreme attempts often to the point of 
  destruction of the mind and body. 
3.intense enthusiasm for projects with the 
  increasing inability to finish them. 
4.increasing inability to "get the point" 
  ie: deterioration of ability to understand concepts 
5.inability to control ego
 
FYI - the tanrik has very little to do with sense gratification - it uses 
sexual methods but that is not the point. and it is of extreme misuse to 
point its focus to self or other personalities.
 
sense gratification in the long run always  
leaves you with nothing.

Thank you, Jeanne, for expressing a confirmation for my processes also.  It's

Rita> 
Does consciousness reside in the brain? Or does it reside in the heart?
 
Anandajyoti> The Conscious Principle ( or the Chitti- per Muktananda) , 
which 
we may term as consciousness is vibrational state of the Uncreated ( 
Ajata 
-per Ramana Maharshi). This Conscious principle exists throughout the 
Universe. This Conscious Principle in order to make us also Conscious , 
uses 
the material brain as the medium of its expression. The brain I would 
say 
encapsulates consciousness in a meaningful way, for each of us to 
comprehend 
and live as individuals. Each and every cell in our bodies are also 
conscious 
in a very limited way, compared to the brain. 
What we call the heart is the seat of feelings, this heart which we all 
talk 
about is also intangible. The different vibratory states of 
consciousness are 
used through the various names which are assigned through language, by 
humans, for easier comprehension. 
Whether the consciousness resides in the tangible brain matter or the 
intangible heart is another matter, for each of us have a different way 
of 
knowing it. Then one may ask, why different. 
To answer it fully it would be long discourse, which I will not go in to
 
presently. 
Knowledge is never created, it is always there, it is only discovered 
through 
our awareness of it. 
When we discover a spiritual truth experientially , we could call them 
mystics. 
When we discover the knowledge in the physical plane , we call them 
Scientists. 
The Universal Essence- is the reality of all knowledge. 
The moment this knowledge gives rise to the concepts of the knower , the
 
known, and knowing, immediately fragments, the Essence- The Conscious 
Principle, when  we are in the physical plane. To go more into details, 
like 
the mind , emotions, feelings etc., would take pages, so I would refrain 
from 
doing that now. 
We all reside as spiritual entities, in the human structure, in the vast
 
Ocean of the Conscious Principle. The analogy for easy understanding 
would be 
the different planets, stars etc., floating in Space. 
It cannot be definitely said that the consciousness resides in the brain 
or 
the heart. But from experience everyone would know that consciousness is
 
there. 
When we are awake, we know what consciousness is. But when we are in 
deep 
sleep, we are not aware of our consciousness, but on waking up the next 
morning we would infer that we had consciousness during sleep also, 
because 
we are still alive. Other wise someone else will find our body to be 
dead, 
without any consciousness. 
I am not sure, if anyone including myself would be able to pinpoint what
 
knowing exactly is from our experience, in tangible terms.
 
Rita> Is it possible that the energy of consciousness comes from the 
brain 
and is felt in the heart?
 
Anandajyoti> 
The energy of consciousness works through the tangible body, which 
includes 
the brain. The intangible heart, its exact location in the physical 
body, 
would be viewed differently by different people. Many attribute  the 
seat of 
feelings of our heart is the physical heart, or any region near abouts. 
If we observe ourselves, then we would find that our feelings whether 
coming 
from within or without, create responses in our physical heart, our 
breathing, our movements etc. 
The feelings , which many may attribute to the ego etc., are not in the 
ego 
either. 
Feelings or inspiration, happiness, sadness, al these intangibles are 
manifestation of the various vibratory rates of our consciousness, with 
or 
without our awareness of it. Only on focussing, on the feelings, either 
being 
generated internally or externally, we can find out, through our own 
experiences, where they are coming from. Then the feelings change the 
vibratory rate of consciousness, gets connected with the ego, or the 
heart, 
or our emotions, to manifest itself. The vibratory rates are different 
when 
it is manifesting  through the ego, or the emotions, or the heart. Here 
comes 
our conscious need for discernment. Feelings are almost , in majority of
 
cases are attributed by us to be through touch, like heat and cold etc. 
This 
is only a fraction of the whole area of our feelings. When feelings come 
to 
us from the Spirit, we term it inspiration/intuition, when it comes as a
 
result of some outside stimulus, then our ego, emotions, and the mind , 
get 
in the picture to give it final manifestation, as love, hate, sadness, 
happiness, anger etc. 
So yes , we can say, fragmentarily, that we feel our feelings in the 
body, 
whether the heart, or the brain, or any other part of our body, is 
dependent 
on the person having the feelings. Its experiential. and differs from 
person 
to person. 
As an example, let us all have a cup of coffee, the same brew, and we 
add two 
spoonfuls of cream and sugar. So everything is same physically. Ten 
people 
taste it, now tell me, which one can definitely say that the sweetness, 
or 
bitterness, is the same as others tasted it. Words would be inadequate 
to 
define the exact sweetness, or bitterness for anyone. 
So, its purely experiential.
 
Rita> 
Or it starts at the heart center and is processed through the brain?
 
Anandajyoti> 
This heart center which many attribute to the physical heart , is 
different 
in my view. The heart center is in our subtle body, and its responses 
are 
reflected in the physical body around the physical heart. 
We must first become aware , the origins of the source for which 
feelings are 
manifesting in body, mind, emotions, in the total perspective , in our 
consciousness. 
Many , I am sure, go to meetings, and become aware that something  about 
the 
environment  in that meeting does not feel right. Its hard to explain, 
but 
some may feel suffocated, have some feelings of uneasiness.  Those who 
are 
sensitive and aware may grasp these feelings, and if you ask others, 
they may 
say they felt noting at all. So this also os experiential, varies from 
person 
to person. 
One may come in the energy field of another, and have similar feelings. 
So, feelings are the manifestation of  responses in our bodies, 
emotions, 
mind etc. of our experience, whatever it may be. 
I would not want to get in to details here, for it would be to long.
 
Rita> 
Is mind and heart the same thing?
 
Anandajyoti> 
I don't think so. Would you or anyone else?  But on the other hand there
 
could be many who may say that the heart and the mind are the same. It's
 
their concept. I have nothing against those holding that view. 
 In my experience, everything is the play of CONSCIOUSNESS, in the 
Ultimate 
Sense.
 
Rita> 
The "mind" in the sense of consciousness knows all emotional feeling 
states 
associated with that "knowing". So in a sense they could be the same 
thing.
 
Anandajyoti> 
The mind is intangible, and its a wave of the consciousness, not the 
whole of 
consciousness, in my experience. The mind is a medium on which, all our 
experiences are reflected and recorded. There are many who also think 
that 
the physical brain is the mind. So it would be another rigmarole of 
concepts 
and terminology, which I would stay from. 
In my view, the human brain is the organ which encapsulates the mind/ 
consciousness. In other words, the brain is function of Consciousness, 
and 
consciousness is not a function of the brain. 
Certain vibrations of our consciousness, produces certain responses in 
our 
minds and bodies, and we experience the effects. I will leave it at this
 
point.
 
Anandajyoti.

It cannot be definitely said that the consciousness resides in the brain or 
the heart. But from experience everyone would know that consciousness is 
there. 
When we are awake, we know what consciousness is. But when we are in deep 
sleep, we are not aware of our consciousness, but on waking up the next 
morning we would infer that we had consciousness during sleep also, because 
we are still alive. Other wise someone else will find our body to be dead, 
without any consciousness. 
I am not sure, if anyone including myself would be able to pinpoint what 
knowing exactly is from our experience, in tangible terms.
 
Rita> Is it possible that the energy of consciousness comes from the brain 
and is felt in the heart?
 
Anandajyoti> 
The energy of consciousness works through the tangible body, which includes 
the brain. The intangible heart, its exact location in the physical body, 
would be viewed differently by different people. Many attribute  the seat of 
feelings of our heart is the physical heart, or any region near abouts. 
If we observe ourselves, then we would find that our feelings whether coming 
from within or without, create responses in our physical heart, our 
breathing, our movements etc. 
The feelings , which many may attribute to the ego etc., are not in the ego 
either. 
Feelings or inspiration, happiness, sadness, al these intangibles are 
manifestation of the various vibratory rates of our consciousness, with or 
without our awareness of it. Only on focussing, on the feelings, either being 
generated internally or externally, we can find out, through our own 
experiences, where they are coming from. Then the feelings change the 
vibratory rate of consciousness, gets connected with the ego, or the heart, 
or our emotions, to manifest itself. The vibratory rates are different when 
it is manifesting  through the ego, or the emotions, or the heart. Here comes 
our conscious need for discernment. Feelings are almost , in majority of 
cases are attributed by us to be through touch, like heat and cold etc. This 
is only a fraction of the whole area of our feelings. When feelings come to 
us from the Spirit, we term it inspiration/intuition, when it comes as a 
result of some outside stimulus, then our ego, emotions, and the mind , get 
in the picture to give it final manifestation, as love, hate, sadness, 
happiness, anger etc. 
So yes , we can say, fragmentarily, that we feel our feelings in the body, 
whether the heart, or the brain, or any other part of our body, is dependent 
on the person having the feelings. Its experiential. and differs from person 
to person. 
As an example, let us all have a cup of coffee, the same brew, and we add two 
spoonfuls of cream and sugar. So everything is same physically. Ten people 
taste it, now tell me, which one can definitely say that the sweetness, or 
bitterness, is the same as others tasted it. Words would be inadequate to 
define the exact sweetness, or bitterness for anyone. 
So, its purely experiential.
 
Rita> 
Or it starts at the heart center and is processed through the brain?
 
Anandajyoti> 
This heart center which many attribute to the physical heart , is different 
in my view. The heart center is in our subtle body, and its responses are 
reflected in the physical body around the physical heart. 
We must first become aware , the origins of the source for which feelings are 
manifesting in body, mind, emotions, in the total perspective , in our 
consciousness. 
Many , I am sure, go to meetings, and become aware that something  about the 
environment  in that meeting does not feel right. Its hard to explain, but 
some may feel suffocated, have some feelings of uneasiness.  Those who are 
sensitive and aware may grasp these feelings, and if you ask others, they may 
say they felt noting at all. So this also os experiential, varies from person 
to person. 
One may come in the energy field of another, and have similar feelings. 
So, feelings are the manifestation of  responses in our bodies, emotions, 
mind etc. of our experience, whatever it may be. 
I would not want to get in to details here, for it would be to long.
 
Rita> 
Is mind and heart the same thing?
 
Anandajyoti> 
I don't think so. Would you or anyone else?  But on the other hand there 
could be many who may say that the heart and the mind are the same. It's 
their concept. I have nothing against those holding that view. 
 In my experience, everything is the play of CONSCIOUSNESS, in the Ultimate 
Sense.
 
Rita> 
The "mind" in the sense of consciousness knows all emotional feeling states 
associated with that "knowing". So in a sense they could be the same thing.
 
Anandajyoti> 
The mind is intangible, and its a wave of the consciousness, not the whole of 
consciousness, in my experience. The mind is a medium on which, all our 
experiences are reflected and recorded. There are many who also think that 
the physical brain is the mind. So it would be another rigmarole of concepts 
and terminology, which I would stay from. 
In my view, the human brain is the organ which encapsulates the mind/ 
consciousness. In other words, the brain is function of Consciousness, and 
consciousness is not a function of the brain. 
Certain vibrations of our consciousness, produces certain responses in our 
minds and bodies, and we experience the effects. I will leave it at this 
point.
 
Anandajyoti.
