I don't really tamper with the mind. That said, I am a mantra practitioner and have certain mantras which I am generally working on - trying to get over the hump with (quarter million or so). So I also do them mentally at work to reinforce the 'actual sadhana' sometimes with visualizations so yes I am bringing some Akanishta to where I am whether others can see it or not. I mean, all the devas and Buddhas are right there so connection is everything I think.
Okay, less flakey, or more, depending. Yeah, I do look at each item, but I rarely judge it unless it is no good. If I cut 25 bell peppers they all look the same after, but when I was cutting them I looked at each one and summarily executed it probably prior to thought, but I am still with it. Tell you what I do do is utilize natural herbal suppliments :) which combined with my meditations seem to lengthen the moment at times into something truely wild. Thus, I am a form of Dionysis and I am also being as great of a host as I can be. The main point being that each food cooked should be as fresh as possible, in spite of natural despondance of lethargy due to age and stress. This has always been at the heart of the issue of drug use for me as I have always felt that I should bring as much awareness as possible even at the twelf or fourteenth hour, and thus there's not really much possibility of that naturally and so some mental silicone enhancements. I actually don't subscribe to the notion that there's anything at all other than awareness, or awarenesses, so it's a matter of choosing the awarenesses which you want to represent, and so I do. But it's probably pretty raucous by probably almost all of the world's standards, because it takes alot. "All That Jazz" is more like the chef's life than anything else. Oh Yeah, you know what's good is cukes, with apple slices, carrot slices, raisins, with sumac, tofurkey bacon and tofunnaise, s+p and of course some marshmallows. As I tell my friends, "Go light on the sumack." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Duveyoung" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 3:11 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: An Inspiring Visit to Baba Muktananda > Kirk, > > One thing I always wanted to ask you when I was a lurker and you were > a poster: > > Do you have a "moral" about putting "consciousness" into your cooking? > > I mood make that I do this when I am cutting my veggies "oh so > carefully."
