Gloria here: 
This is certainly the distinction and if this isn't realized then one is 
not self realized and God is a thought or belief or memory of something 
that is potential but it certainly is not manifest. So, in this place of 
experience Don express's his feelings of truth. However, the potential 
is within each soul to receive his/her inheritance provided God is made 
first in life in all things. In this process of realizing God, one 
becomes absorbed into him/her and in that... loses ego/shadow/self. This 
then is the union and in this state God is manifest according to his 
will and purpose through the vehicle which is an extention of his 
purpose. So if God has purpose for the soul to be omnipotent or perform 
miracles, etc, then it is manifest, but remember this is not an act of 
the mind but pure Father/Mother consciousness.

Eactly, one can not experience any awareness without being it, so that 
in entering the stream of Divine Will we experience all that God is 
manifesting in the moment.

 I had pondered this in the past, and forgot about it until 
recently when I had to buy a fresh supply of flax seed oil and was 
reminded of Mystress's suggestions regarding that product.
 
 What nutritional considerations might go into the K?  For 
instance, Flax oil- precisely what does it do for the K, and in what 
amounts?  Additionally vitamins and minerals might be considered (perhaps 
factors for the nervous system?) as well as glandular supplements.  What 
kinds of foods might stimulate the pineal and other glands without harming 
them?
 
 On the flip side, there could be food guidelines in other areas. 
I seem to remember chocolate or meat would slow the K down, if the trip is 
too hard.
 
Any other ideas out there for these subjects?

Dear Sherry,
 
I'm quite intersted in the tickling sensations you described as physical 
symptom ( of meditation?) as I get a similar thing sometimes when I 
meditate usually it begins as a tickling sensation in the corner of my 
mouth. The more closely I observe it the stronger the tickle becomes and it 
begins to spread outward onto my cheek and it becomes like a pushing and 
pulling sensation until it feels as if your whole cheek is being sucked 
outward in slow motion and then blown inwards.
 
Ive tried to spread this sensation hoping it was a "loosening" sensation ( 
The sensations of body distortion I get when falling asleep ) but does'nt 
go further than this. By concentrating on it I think it keeps me too 
focused on my body and I can't go any deeper
 
Does your tickle spread or grow stronger if you give it attention?

I have smoked pot intermittantly for some time and have found the effects 
to be such that it puts you in touch with your feelings in a very real way. 
Theres no escape from your problems or fears as alcohol might give. It 
doesn't offer any escape from my problems but often forces you to face 
emotional issues. Repeatedly I have received intuitive understanding and 
sometimes specific ideas that seem almost like instructions as how to solve 
some problem be it an interpersonal one or an inner emotional block. But 
then again I frequently meditate before and after smoking - or have 
recently begun to do so with remarkable results. The combined effect of a 
mind stilled in meditation and its ego defences somewhat dissolved from MJ 
can sometimes amount to what I can only describe as Bliss, bliss, bliss 
that can persist for a day or more.
 
Then again "K" may also have something to do with it.
 
I think this plant has received a bad rap from uninformed people and as for 
being "potentially deadly" - I don't think so, the idea is ludicrous at 
best!!
 
Do any other K - list members have anything of interest to add to this 
controversial subject?

Surely shome mishtake? This could be seen as synchronicity but 
I am continually surprised at the effect that _any_ media 'input'  
has on my psyche. The bodymind is a dynamic ever changing 
system. It is naturally chaotic, therefore even seemingly insignificant 
stimuli can have 'a butterfly effect' and produce unpredicatble results.
 
Anyway it's the "it would give me the answer" bit that stands out 
above & kicked me into replying. Surely it is YOU finding the  
answer NOT the TV!  
It's a tempting line of reasoning ounce you start thinking abou it  
- that somehow the media is full of _controlling_ messages that  
compel people to do things. 'Fnords' as they're known in the Eristic 
movement (or, more strictly, meaningless but seemingly extremely 
important information). After a while this kind of reasoning can 
become self supporting, self justifying, an infinite feed back loop.
 
BUT! In the end everything _is_ self-referential (to the self, at least) 
..I look at my vacuum cleaner. I notice it's vaguely sci-fi styling.  
Is this why I bought this model in the first place? A longing for a  
better world? With this kind of understanding should I have gone into advertising? I could be making $$$ exploiting peoples  
dissatisfaction with the world! Then I remember that there are  
actually people making a living out of exactly this!  
This keeps me on my uncertain path through life: of course I'm  
uncertain we live in extremely confusing times! Did my vacuum  
cleaner teach me this? Who's the sucker, me 
or the vacuum cleaner? Mmmm, must be the vacuum cleaner...

Anything to feed the nervous system and preserve its' resources.
 
Check your intake of zinc, magnesium, manganese, and calcium.
 
*Time or Sustained Release* B-Complex 100 is always a good idea each 
day. 
Under a lot of stress? Showing carpal tunnel symptoms? Smoke? Drink? 
Try 2 or 3 a day.

Flax oil is a great source of linoleic(omega-6) and linolenic 
acid.(omega-3)
 
There's 3 types of short-lived, hormone like compounds called 
prostaglandins. 
They regulate every cell in your body. Sounds important huh? When they 
are 
out of balance all sorts of disease starts creeping in. From colds to 
cancer.
 
The letter E is used to denote the 3 types of prostaglandins. 
E1 & E3 are anti-inflammatory in nature (among other things) while E2 
is pro-inflammatory.
 
In short americans have very high levels of E2 and lo levels of E1 & E3. 
This wreaks all sorts of immune and cardio vascular havoc to name a few.
 
1.Supplement with omega 3. This is the precursor for E-3 
85% of Americans are deficient in omega 3 due to destruction in food 
processing. 
(not good)Also eat salmon,sardines,mackerel,and trout.
 
2.Good oils for linoleic acid are *unprocessed* pumpkin seed, olive, 
safflower, 
sunflower, corn, sesame, rice bran, flax, soybean,walnut, & canola oil. 
Processed oils not only do not have what you need, they are also 
carcinogenic. 
(double whammy)
 
3.Meat loads your body with arachidonic acid which gets directly 
converted 
to pro-inflammatory E2! Also the fat in meats inhibits the conversion of 
omega 3 & 6 
to E1 & E2(by inhibiting a needed enzyme for the conversion.) 
With regard to meat...cut it down or cut it out.
 
I haven't even scratched the surface with regard to the importance of 
all 
this. If this interests you I'd strongly recommend "Essential Fats" by 
Dr. Michael Colgan. Vancouver: Apple Publishing, in press. (or anything 
else he's written for that matter)
 
> kinds of foods might stimulate the pineal
 
The pineal gland secretes melatonin. 
 
 
To good health,

Conscious Sleep (the sleepless sleep?)
 
United we fall, 
into sleepy oblivion. 
When thunder roars 
the  conscious mind shakes.
 
Slippery is the awakened night. 
Slick with sweat and anticipation. 
So long it has been but now, 
Its as if Iv'e never left.
 
I wonder, 
I glow, 
I scream, 
I know!
 
The totality within is claiming me, 
piece by piece. 
Annihilation of opposites, 
United in, 
nothingness.
 
The birth place of Gods and  
dust particles. 
The Zen nature, 
of men and mushrooms.
 
The here and now forever!! 
Back so soon? 
Wait!! 
There was so much more. 
But even now it is forgotten

Meditation and non-indulging are the keys to effective use of psychoactive 
substances.  There is nothing inherently problematic about them.  The 
problems arise from the (ab)user.  Therefore, if you have problems with 
them, don't project them on to others.
 
What are the benefits?  Among other things, these substances show you an 
altered perception or awareness that is no less valid than the one you 
normally experience.  Normal perception is no longer taken so much for 
granted and thus, when you have "Kundalini symptoms" it is less of an upset 
to your equilibrium.
 
What are the problems?  We tend to rationalize or explain away the 
experience as just the effect of the substance.  Thus denigrates it to 
something less valid than normal perception.  We do the same thing with 
"Kundalini symptoms."  If you have read about them and you find yourself 
experiencing them, you will immediately explain your experience away as just 
a "symptom."  But a symptom of what?  It is no less valid than the symptom 
of pain you feel when you strike your finger with a hammer.
 
All perceptions are real and created by ourselves.
 
Jason.

   Spoken like a true non ADD person... drop those crutches and WALK, sez 
the preacher.    If you cannot, then it is becuase faith is not strong 
enough..?? 
 
  Been there, tried that many times.. but when the bout of anger is from 
wierd brain chemistry, kundalini can become a pretty nasty weapon.  
  (ssss...Come to the dark side, Luke Skywalker..) 
 
  I have people around me who trust me not to use the power they have given 
me, to hurt them. In that state, I don't even trust myself. I usually 
isolate myself as quickly as possible, as soon as I notice the signs, to 
minimize damage.  
  Fire may be warmth and light. When your house catches fire, you don't sit 
and watch it burn, to see what Goddess intends.. you grab the water She 
also provided and put the fire out!  
  In my case, I damp the fire with smoke.. I am a fire sign.. 
 
  I know that my anger is irrational, even as it is happening. It is 
usually set off by something momentary and insignificant.. that makes no 
difference to the power of the emotion.. it will pick up rationality, and 
turn it into judgemental K. righteousness quickly as thought. Logic turns 
to a tool for rhetoric and rationality turns to rationalization, and the 
flip side of genius is what??  
 
  I do get other emotional extremes, but anger is the dangerous one.. 
 
  I have been granted an embarrassment of riches, artistic and creative 
talents too many to name.. and the flip side is ADD. Tao of Mystress.  
  I have been given intuition that is a laser scalpel of light, to open 
hearts and set imagination afire.. to heal.. but the flip side of that 
sharp blade is the glory of destruction, that had the Druids and Mayans 
convinced that the Earth wanted Blood sacrifice. Cut the heart out, still 
beating and eat it for breakfast with fava beans and a nice chianti.  
  When I first connected with Chacmool, it was in Mexico, visionquesting 
looking for guidance, while deciding what kind of Pro Domina I was going to 
be. Getting clear.  
  My first concern was that he would be expecting the Mayan sacrifice 
thing.. he made it clear, they had been misguided and it was not necessary 
or wanted. Whew! 
 
  It is women's moon blood, rich in the energy and life of woman, that the 
Earth enjoys.. the old rituals, where the women gathered in earth floored 
huts at the moon's changing, to let their womb's blood drip back into the 
earth. The blood of birth.  
  Likewise, the druids originally sought the blood that marks the change 
from girl to maiden, and from maiden to Mother. The blood marking the 
mysteries of creation. The virgins "sacrificed", lived thru it... LOL! 
They just weren't virgins anymore.. Goddess incarnate was worshipped with 
offerings of pleasure.  
 
  With me, there is no blood, but the wounds of Words go deeper, and the 
scars cannot be seen so clearly, to be healed after. When submissive types 
lose their temper, they yell about things that make no sense. When 
dominants lose it, they calmly coldly say things that are true and make 
perfect sense, but in kindness, ought never to be said.  
  Dog's bark may be worse than the bite.. serpent's poison kills with a 
silent pinprick.
 
  We are never given anything we cannot handle.. and Goddess has provided 
me with the most sacred, ancient and gentle of herbal medicines, to help me 
cope. Blessed be.  
   
    Tim Leary, bless his soul, did some work to suggest pot is a tool for 
brain reprogramming. This makes sense to my experience: put out the fire, 
then look in the ashes to see what started it. Forgive self for 
destruction. Make a correction of thought. Get better candleholders, so 
fire is light and warmth, not rampaging destruction. But as long as humans 
have been using fire to keep warm, houses have been burning down. This is 
the Tao of fire.  
  Ever wonder about the relationship between Tummo fire, and spontaneous 
human combustion?

  LOL! Sitting with my morning smoke, and a pint of Twinings black currant

  4 flax seed oil capsules come next, high quality food for a balanced

other things. The only more nutritous oil for humans, comes from hemp seed. 
More evidence, that our relationship with this plant goes back to the 
beginnings of human evolution.  
  
  A note to medical marijuana users tho: part of the anti-med argument is 
that the strength of dosage and effects can vary quite a bit. Since it 
takes about a million bucks worth of pot smoked in an hour or so to 
overdose.. physically impossible, .. it is rather a misdirection. The only 
person on record to have been killed by pot, had about a ton of it fall on 
them.. 
 
  Different strains do affect humans differently, tho..  
  In the sixties, the pot was grown outdoors in faraway places, and most of 
it tended to be Cannibas sativa.  
  Icon: the Beatles frolicking in old fashioned bathing costumes in the 
movie "Help!"
 
  These days, most pot is grown hydroponically indoors, and cannibas indica 
is better suited to hydroponics. 
  Icon: Gen X couch potato channel surfing into tomorrow. 
  Point: Sativa is better medical marijuana for folks who still want to be 
getting things done.. IMHO.. tho at the compassion club, some users prefer 
indica for it's greater sedation.

  All things exist, somewhere.. Goddess is limitless manifestation.. Green 
man is prob'ly the Easter Bunny too.. rites of spring.. 
 
  If society wants a quick fix balm for stress, compassion reminds us that 
humans have not ever had to live in the kind of rapid change that our 
society encompasses, in the information age.  
  Change is stressful to humans. We are living in a world that our 
technology is reshaping at a pace that is unprecedented in human history. 
Kundalites get the environmental changes, and the inner evolutionary 
changes, and the information age changes... Stressed?  It's understandable. 
Be gentle with yourself.

  Beautiful story. Art and Kundalini, speaking to each other.  
  Do you remember the TV series "Remington Steele"? He was always figuring 
out detective cases, by comparing them to the plots of old movies. Art 
imitates Life imitates Art.  
  When the listening gets better, you don't even need to have the T.V. on.. 
there are only so many stories, different charachters,  and they are all 
usually about love and death. You have thousands of stories in your mind, 
your personal library of film and Video, books and memories for Goddess 
insight messages to draw on.  
  Sitting at my computer in the silence, I ask a question, and the memory 
of an old twilight zone episode will come to give insight.. or a song will 
start running in my head.. Goddess D.J. spinnin' the tunes for my 
edification.  
  There is one tune that comes into my head, as a calling card from a 
partcular ghosty visitor.. a departed friend. I know of a newspaper 
astrologer who looks for inspiration by scrying a channel surf, or 30 
seconds of random MTV. 
  Witches call it "Scrying".. using a relaxed focus on a random factor, 
such as distorted reflections in a crystal ball, or the patterns of Tea 
leaves, to open up the intuitive knowing and quiet the mind to give Goddess 
room for input: creative inspiration, synchronicity.  
  Here's one I got as a teenager, from Richard Bach's "Illusions, The 
Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah." Hold any book, or even an old 
newspaper. Think of a question, and open the book randomly to find the 
answer.  
    Blesings, Mystress.

Hello Ronel,
 
Ronel said: 
> I'm quite intersted in the tickling sensations you described as physical 
symptom ( of meditation?) as I get a similar thing sometimes when I 
meditate usually it begins as a tickling sensation in the corner of my 
mouth. The more closely I observe it the stronger the tickle becomes and it 
begins to spread outward onto my cheek and it becomes like a pushing and 
pulling sensation until it feels as if your whole cheek is being sucked 
outward in slow motion and then blown inwards.
 
Sherry replied: 
I suppose the physical sensations vary greatly from person to person.  I 
just had the sensation that hair was growing on my face.  Funny as this may 
sound, I thought I was beginning to manifest male characteristics.  I was 
thinking I might have to start shaving or something.  I did not have the 
push pull sensations you described.  Perhaps another way to describe it: 
If you blow up a balloon and rub the outside surface to create static 
electricity, then take the balloon and get it close to your face, it makes 
your hair raise up and you can feel the actual energy of the electricity. 
It makes the face tickle.  Sort of like that.  The thing is I still get 
this sensation from time to time.  If was much more pronounced back when I 
first began to meditate.  So perhaps its just the body attuning to a new 
energy level and then it levels out.  I'm not sure.
 
Ronel: 
<Ive tried to spread this sensation hoping it was a "loosening" sensation ( 
The sensations of body distortion I get when falling asleep ) but doesn't 
go further than this. By concentrating on it I think it keeps me too 
focused on my body and I can't go any deeper.  Does your tickle spread or 
grow stronger if you give it attention?
 
Sherry replied: 
No, I can't say that it got stronger if I paid attention to.  What I would 
usually do is stop meditating for moment, stroke my face gently.  (as if 
someone just kissed it and I'm rubbing it in)  gggg .   Then I would 
continue on.  The thing is, it doesn't always happen when I am meditating, 
sometimes it happens hours later after I have stopped meditating.  So it 
seems to pick its own time.   :  )
