Thanks for the background! and that gorgeous picture of Donatello! Amazing creatures, horses. Must be these around here are ridden, or possibly the SF Bay Area doesn't get cold enough for them to grow a winter coat.
I read recently that the motor car really took off in the cities as a solution to the overwhelming logistics of feeding, AND cleaning up after so many horses. I cannot imagine them being such an integral part of daily life in the US, Canada and Europe, as they obviously were, until the last 70 years or so. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@ wrote: Hey Ann, I was driving past the large fields of Stanford's campus (it is huge), past the satellite dish, and saw numerous horses standing in a field eating, in the rain, temp about 55 F, each covered shoulder to rump with a blanket. I guess if they are wool, it works. Horses, despite their massive size and strength always seem so fragile to me. Are they less susceptible to cold than we humans are? Hey Dr, horses are fairly resilient to cold if you allow them to grow a normal winter coat which they will do naturally (sometimes people start blanketing earlier to inhibit the growth of the hair though). This hair coat will fluff up when the horse is cold and trap air between the skin and the hair shafts. Most people who are using their horses as competition horses or who ride every day will clip their horses. They sometimes clip every inch of the horse and sometimes just certain areas. But when you do that you have to blanket them. Depending on the temperature and how much hair you took off you need to use heavy blankets with hollofil and a waterproof and breathable outer shell. There are lots and lots of types of blankets available from stable quilts to cool out rugs to rain shells to show sheets. We sell winter blankets that retail for up to $475 but these are really good ones from Ireland. I keep my big horse, Donatello, in clothes all the time summer or winter. In the summer he wears a fly sheet, very cool and breathy and in the winter he wears a waterproof 200g blanket with a hood. Because he is a true black I like to keep him covered to keep him from bleaching in the summer plus the flies are obnoxious to horses so he wears a fly mask too! A real caped crusader.

Glad to know someone is an expert. And such irrefutable proof they give. The change includes a change in identification, in our relationship with source and in our energy system. The recognition is felt throughout creation. Keep in mind it is not a person who wakes up and can thus lose something. It is Self waking up to Itself. Self doesn't get confused or forget. Sure it forgets. It "forgot", while someone was in waking state . This is not a linear mechanical process but human growth and development. Consider puberty. Can we lose puberty? Sure, once we move on from puberty. Once our endocrine system has done its work to make us fully functioning reproductive adults. Voila, we are no longer in puberty. Does everyone have the same experience of it? Is it linear? Well, is it? That said, there are people who have sustained states that fade. There are people who witness 24/7 permanently who have not actually switched yet. (have reached Makara but not crown) They may seem awake and have great experiences but also have non-awake characteristics. And there are those who are recently awake but for whom the subjective experience is not yet clear. They're doing some purification and/or mind is trying to regain control. That does eventually complete and become clear but it varies how long. This isn't losing it though it may seem like it subjectively sometimes. Share again: In the paragraph just above, Makara is a term used by PKYC lineage and refers to a point in upper brow ajna. According to their teaching once Kundalini Shakti reaches Makara She is stable there and proceeds to crown chakra unimpeded. Prior to reaching Makara Kundalini Shakti can travel up and down the chakra system continuously. But this is very hard on the physiology and indicative of a deflected or blocked situation. The specialty of PKYC is remedying such. They have a 97% success rate! I wonder how they measure that?! I'm at least glad to know there are such experts out there on what happens to everyone regarding states of consciousness. When I finally get out of AC I will be sure and look them up for verification of which shakra is about to be opened and how I can keep the kundalini from reversing itself and upsetting my otherwise imperfect physiology. God, I hope my Makara is ready for the shakti. ________________________________ From: nablusoss1008 To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, December 17, 2012 5:24 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: A question for DrDumbass to Nablusoss  --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu wrote: Once the chakras are open they're open. You've been rewired. Anyone who thinks they undid enlightenment were just confused and not enlightened in the first place. Well, that certainly is the understanding one has if one has studied with Maharishi, including myself. I posted the question to DR.Dumbass because he has shown to have profound understanding on the subject. I also wonder why this question did not arise as soon as Robin turned up on FFL with his story.

First of all Maharishi has explained that with practice of the sidhas we develop all the higher states simultaneously. And I've heard of at least one person, not a TMer going from CC to UC in three days. It was a gov who labeled it such. Yes, why not ? When the time is ripe even the smell of a rotten bus could be the factor that push you into enlightenment in an instant. Anyway, I think of CC as having a nervous system without stress and that once this state is reached, the nervous system is so resilient that it does not take on any more stress. Lines on air. So yes, I'd say real CC is irreversible. I think a person can have Unity experiences. I know someone who is having Brahman experiences these days. But he's realized it's not stabilized Brahman. Anyway, I think if you asked this question on Batgap forum, you'd get some really useful feedback. I can only hope you are joking. I'm afraid my impression is that the majority there have serious difficulties understand their relative nature and role in the world, let alone their absolute, unchanging nature :-)
