Brainiac; I did get the vibe you had been somewhere in the twilight zone for a good while there. I've been watching your neuropsychoanalytics with curiosity, as I have a grand deal of shared interests; just haven't had much time to commit to extended exchanges, as I've kept busy enough getting the materials of life together.

No worries over my having had to face the music myself; it's not like it was the first time around, as over the years I had already gotten quite accustomed to the cavital punk booming out from hard core devotee bases, with four or five major expulsions behind me that I had learned to assess as but a farthing's worth, and so the last outburst of the fundamentanalists faded like a gentle whisper in the wind as I hit the road, rejecting the path of devotional odorations in favor of fresh mountain air.

That's nice, thank you. That relieves me somewhat. Speaking of shared interests, I have a HUGE backlog of papers to review that deal with delusion, psychosis, hallucinations, etc. I'm right now reviewing a new paper that proposes a general neurocognitive model of delusional disorder that attempts to enhance or review the current diagnostic criteria in DSM-IV. In the meantime you may find this recent review of Urgesi's findings interesting.

While I'm on the subject, here's an extract from the Urgesi paper mentioned above that may be relevant to what you have written about your experiences in your psychosis thread:

QUOTE
Crucially, continuing meditation practice may induce changes of cognitive functioning (Brown and Ryan, 2003; Jha et al., 2007) and neural activity (Brefczynski-Lewis et al., 2007; Cahn and Polich, 2006; Ho¨ lzel et al., 2007; Lutz et al., 2004, 2008a, 2008b) associated not only to the achievement of spiritual states but also to long-lasting attitudes that accompany expert meditators beyond a given state. Furthermore, differences in cortical thickness have been reported between expert meditators and individuals with no experience in meditation (Ho¨ lzel et al., 2008; Lazar et al., 2005), suggesting that the differences in cognitive and emotional styles of expert meditators may correlate with differences in brain anatomy. This pattern of results carries out the important implication that practices able to modify higher-order self-awareness may dynamically shape personality traits (Cahn and Polich, 2006), i.e., the enduring dispositions associated with the consistent patterns of behavior, thoughts, and feelings that make each individual unique.

I want to find out more about the "transcendence" measure they used and what components went into it.

[ Split from sheer stupidity to prevent smearing by cavital repercussions. ]

A good one from Rohini Suta ACBSP, the legendary hero of all TSKP folk, was along the lines of "If you pass stool after a meal, soon Yamaraja will come". Quoting that, the sankirtan leadership once blocked me from going to toilet after breakfast, and I had to block my rectum instead. According to yogis of yore however, sufficient anal retention will make the toxins return to your body (not unlike the famous semen of celibators flowing upward the spine to your brain).

Incidentally when you finally get to relieve yourself after the prescribed Vedic period of retention, it feels a bit like Yamaraja coming out of your rectum. I guess it's a no-win scenario there, because we're living in the material world. Better to just go to the place where pooping is only done when it pleases god in his human-like sports, and then it'll always drop out in perfect time and composition for his pleasure and yours. Naturally transcendentally.

This explains where the word "shithead" comes from.

Therefore it's important to recognize the pre-eminent position of the founder acharyas, and only the most advanced pure devotees can understand what can possibly be going on in their transcendental heads, and how it ended up in there to begin with. And if that is all for the pleasure of the supreme autocrat, then toilet humor should be established as a regulative principle and broadcast in all three worlds as the supreme means of purging one's inner being of all material impediments. Therefore the arsa-yogis of yore said of the scientific process of abhidheya and prayojana as follows — laughiMghArda he zitzin' hIs-pAnts iti (Guhya-sutra).

The truth of ārṣa-prayoga however emanated from the transcendental rAja-guhyam of ePiTauRSi, which is pavitram uttamam and proof of the Vedic pudding in the face of contradiction. (And on that note, the Vedic word-for-word pudding has evinced why Windows decided to label their half-baked operating system "Vista".)

So noted to not make me inadvertently appropriate the appropriety you recognized; in my view, he is the ArSARSi and devAdeva of all punditry.

So as to not smear sheer stupidity with our discussions on the subtle sciences of ArSa-prayoga, I have split five posts off there and into our cavity here. It seems that whenever the matter surfaces, material begins to naturally emanate because we have congested material desires and inclinations.
