Just in case someone is interested in the Galaxy of Fire, 2nd Edition the upcoming publication by Jekyll & Highsmith Publishers who was "(w)orking with Jay's family, and aided by the author's extensive notes" which says on their homepage" There were many things about the 1st Edition that Jay had planned to improve and refine before its first run publication in 2000, but he was unable to finish before he "dropped his body" and left this world. " Do not miss following excerpts from Galaxy of Fire, 2nd Edition including many pictures http://www.galaxy-of-fire.com/book_excerpts.html <http://www.galaxy-of-fire.com/book_excerpts.html> 1.Blue Shiva - from Preface: Galaxy of Fire, 2nd Edition: Pilgrimage to Kedarnath, in the Himalaya Mountains of Northern India including photos. 2.The Pugil Stick Range - from Chapter 1: Basic Training in the Marine Corps at Parris Island, SC during the late 1960s. The language is graphic, and with a smile I read 3.Shivalinga Transmission - from Chapter 11:Maharishi's courses on Vedic Science in 1980. and the practice of using the Shiva Linga, with unusual results "as a cosmic transmitter". [http://www.galaxy-of-fire.com/resources/ShivalingTransmission-02-B.JPG] One of J.L.s Shiva Lingam stones, used to heighten his spiritual practice, 1980, where he "formed my own "cult within the cult within the cult" known as the "Third Eye Fellowship"(his note:When I use the word "cult" here, I use it in the light-hearted sense of a group of people who share a common interest that gives a positive spiritual experience, as opposed to cultish groups who share negative interests, such as the subversion, killing, or overpowering of other people and cultures.) Being myself quite close to Maharishi for a mesmerizing unforgettable time with the privilege to use several time even MMY's private bath room [;)] Jay's funny but IMHO and experience accurate description of" battling to get a seat near the front" close to Maharishi sounds quite familiar to me : "Some of those battles were quite interesting to watch, because of the incredible egos and competition involved. The game was to figure out which person was the purest, most devoted, most loved by Maharishi, or just plain wealthiest. It was like watching two gunslingers facing each other down when someone of questionable caste had sat in the unmarked, unsaved seat of one who was, for lack of a better description, "puffed up with pride" (as the Hindu scriptures often say of a god gone wrong)." --- In [email protected], laughinggull108 wrote: > > The first 49 of 560 pages of Galaxy of Fire.
