Sexual energy becomes like a dog that you only have to say "down boy" to. It also becomes nothing more than a hormonal impulse. And then obviously in "unbounded consciousness" there is no limitation to discussing (or experiencing) anything. The TMites tend to discuss things in a rather narrow and malnourished view of yoga since they weren't provided with a broader and richer view. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: [email protected] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
