The Great Treatise of the I Ching (The Chinese Book of Changes) says … “There is nothing that has more movement or greater cohesion than the four seasons.” The word “season” is a devolved translation of the Chinese word SHIH, originally meaning “sowing time.” The “four seasons” exist in micro (Earth), macro (Heaven), and meso…
The Saint of Cabora (Teresita Urrea) lived for awhile in El Paso – the West Texas city I’m currently visiting. Teresita Urrea (1873-1906) healed 50,000 people – including the blind – and it’s said her astral body on an astral horse led a few battles during the Mexican Revolution. Her sweat and saliva smelled of…
Yogananda wrote Adano Ley (more than a decade before he was ordained a Swami) in Montreal, Canada, and told him to teach meditation, but Adano didn’t even know how to meditate, much less how to teach it. Adano sat in his favorite Greek restaurant pondering the dilemma. He was the sole customer till a rugged,…
“Have you ever seen a limestone bridge?” is the counter-question Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) applied when asked about calcium for bones. The strength and structural support of a bridge are NOT provided by calcium compounds (cement, concrete, etc.). They’re provided by the chemistry of the superstructure. Calcium is used in the “cement” of bones, and…
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) taught us about the “eight stages of volition.” (1) “Evolutional will power” is the first stage. Adano explained, “To be a single cell in the womb, the mother has to crave it so. This is the ion that determines the direction it will go through its own perpetual motion. Volition stands…
Paramahansa Yogananda was asked, “Are you a vegetarian?” No, I’m a proper-eatarian,” he replied, “because vegetarians eat french fries and Coca Cola.” I was a vegetarian for fourteen years, but my vegetarianism came to an abrupt end on the road between Houston and Dallas. Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) and I walked into an off-freeway restaurant,…
Whitish-gray smeary clouds and plaque throughout the iris indicate an abnormal uric acid metabolism. This whitish-gray plaque is mostly hereditary, and this “constitutional” type of iris is known as the uric acid diathesis (or urinary diathesis, uratic diathesis, or rheumatic-uric diathesis). This type of iris indicates potential or functional gout, gouty arthritis, underactive kidneys, or…
Eating with the right nostril open facilitates better digestion. The body is in a more catabolic (masculine) phase when the left nostril is open. The body is in a more anabolic (feminine) phase when the right nostril is open. Will the real anabolic hormone please stand up? It’s estrogen, not testosterone. A man’s brain is…
We covered (1) SEEKING, (2) LUST, (3) CARE, and (4) PLAY in my August 11 blog entry. The final two emotional drives take us into what most would consider the Kink Zone … (5) RAGE (anger). Repressed anger is far worse than released anger – unless you release it destructively and hurt another person, of…
Caution: This is a boring blog entry, of interest to only serious students of Yoga. Sri Yukteswar (1855-1936) called the sperm’s endocrine accelerations patalas. He called the ovum’s endocrine accelerations swargas. Cosmic conception forms the 14 bhuvanas (stages of evolution). Western Yoga ignores the swargas, so no cosmic conception can occur. Radha Soami is the…
A healthy, happy sex life involves at least six separate primary emotional systems – or at least the ability to spontaneously express all of these six systems … (I’m borrowing six of neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp’s seven basic emotional endophenotypes for this blog entry, skipping the seventh – PANIC/GRIEF – till I discover its positive contribution…
Anchoring to Liver Time (1:00-3:00 a.m.), Solar Nutrition facilitates three defenses. (1) The 24-hour circadian ectodermic defense response involves … copper (cytochrome oxidase, superoxide dismutase, etc.), magnesium (the properdin system), sterols, and fatty acids. This defense is primarily digestive, causing the hydrolysis of toxins, and is regulated by the Stomach and Circulation-Sex meridians. (2) The…
A fat cell can expand as much as 1,000 times, but M.D.’s never tell us what causes such an exponential expansion. The villain is mostly carbon dioxide gas under pressure. “Milwaukee goiter” is a humorous name for a distended gut. It’s also called “Dunlap’s disease,” where your belly “done laps over your belt.” A major…
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “The heart center is a neutral whirl. It is a triune radiating center.” “An addiction is an exhausted craving. Saul reached the bottom of the ladder of addiction with his hatred of Christians. He reached his own internal point of resistance. He was struck blind. ‘Joe! Joe! Why do…
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “The whole key is slowing your brain down to the rhythm of the heart. Then all those things will be known to you through direct knowledge. You have to stick with it, to find out for sure in maybe 20, 30 years, but will be glad you did.” “The…
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “Do the impossible – connect the brain to the heart.” “The man Jesus is an example of the Christed man. He lifted human consciousness from the stomach chakra to the heart chakra.” “Mankind is presently moving from the heart chakra to the throat chakra. The householder has to be…
Re: Fluoride creates a barrier of calcium around the pineal, so it shows up as a rock in the brains of kids who are ADD, etc. ADHD is NOT a disease. Is your spouse suffering from SDHD (Sex Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) if they want to jump out of bed and go swimming and not have…
Pineal sand (brain sand) is mostly composed of the salts of calcium, magnesium, and silicon. Conscious evolution is headed in the direction of more calcium and less silicon in the pineal gland, and less calcium and more silicon in the skeleton. Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) said … “The 200-mile limit is the trough in the…
What happens when you shine orange light on ducks? It encourages them to mate. Rabbits too. Orange energizes the Svadhisthana, or Hypogastric and Inguinal Chakra, which is intimately associated with human sexual and reproductive functions. Orange regulates the hydraulic functions of the body, such as blood, lymph, and that potent type of lecithin known as…
Older tea leaves contain 30,700 milligrams or so per kilogram of aluminum, while young tea leaves only contain 600 milligrams or so of aluminum. It’s no accident that Mother Nature – a sexy lady indeed – put more aluminum in the WOODIEST species of trees, especially those originating in the STEAMY tropical rain forest. There’s…
