Dear friend T:

Thanks for our Sunday wake up

Wee had a Spanish omelet this morning. Warm again here in pm.

So busy, yet tired and energyless here.

So you liked Taos -- I suppose like Sedona, Arizona., some feel an
uprise of psychic energy. I say psychic for the reason that SPIRITUAL
ENERGY is forever the same, and uniform everywhere and we don't have
under voluntary control the tools yet developed to sense it. That is
what self-purification (see The VOICE OF THE SILENCE on this -- it is
important)

The use of the eye wash sounds encouraging. I hope it will work and
help. But be careful. Yes red pepper is a strong eye-irritant in large
doses.

Sorry for delay.

Love

Dal

Subject: GOOD "SUNDAY" MORNING TO YOU:

Dear Dallas and Valerie:

A very good Sunday morning to both of you. Dallas give Valerie a hug
from
me !!!

Yes the morning cuppa java is excellent again another dark French roast.
The usual bowl of oatmeal and assorted cup up fruits as well with a cup
of
soy based yogurt. ALL suppose to be good for one self.

You are right about the video eye equipment in that you saw the ad in
the
National Geographic. I saw the ad first in the Smithsonian Magazine
which
gave me the "clue" to start looking for such equipment. Apparently
there
are many companies who make CCTV's my video eye camera is made by a
company
in Colorado Springs, Colorado so at least the company is close at hand
and
NOT overseas. So far it is working well but takes some getting use to
as
you do not see a full page at a time only a faction of the page so to
conceptualize what the whole is like is not possible here. Sort of like
the
tale of the five blind men who were told to describe an elephant; each
one
went to one part of the elephant and then came and told of his
experience.
You got five different results but none of them put the WHOLE PICTURE to
mind.

Isn't this sometimes the way ancient history is presented to modern
civilization? Most generally individuals only receive a portion of the
truth if any at all and that forms the basis of their world and their
thinking for years to come.

Even though I have very limited physical vision and very limited
physical
hearing I have UNLIMITED VISION when it comes to knowing and having
thoughts
about cosmic evolution.

For this I am very grateful and extremely thankful.

Indeed the variables of the weather at this time of the year. Hot in
some
places almost cold in other. Dry in some places and wet in others. And
windy in a major area of the United States this past week and week end.

Considering that five and a half million people in the mid Atlantic area
of
the east coast are with out power you know that Isabel was a terrific
storm. None of the people whom I know thru the Internet had power
services
interrupted but most areas around them did. One high school class mate
lives in Greensboro North Carolina and she said mostly wind damage and
lots
of water. Another friend (the one who moved to the U S a hear ago from
New
Delhi India) who lives in Mc Lean Virginia said his area had power and
utilities because all of the electrical services are underground
however
just a few short miles away people were with out lights and water. The
Federal District in D. C. was shut down for Thursday and Friday of last
week
so the federal employees had a nice four day week end that is if they
did
not have to remove trees, tree limbs and other storm effects from their
homes and driveways.

In all of this it makes you wonder of the FOLLY OF MAN'S WAYS. Every
times
there is a major storm disaster one of the biggest problems is downs
power
lines with lots of danger from there of. Why is it after all of these
years
the electrical utilities still continue to put up power lines in the
air?
You would think they would learn. Oh well.

Here at my home all utilities are underground there are no over head
wires
ANYWHERE. We have major power transmission service from the transformer
along side the street but from there everything is underground. In the
huge
ice storm that was in Kansas City in October of 1996 where some people
were
with out power for TWO WEEKS my power was only out for one and a half
days
while the main line service was restored. However neighbors who live
about
250 feet from me had to wait for about four days before the crews could
restore power to the individual homes. It was cold that time of the
year as
well.

Nuff on that.

Wow you have friends who live in the Taos, New Mexico area. That
geographic
location is a piece of heaven on earth. I have been to the Taos area
several times and each time received INSTANT ENLIGHTENMENT if you could
call
it that. The energy of "sprit" there is amazing indeed. Also certain
area
around Taos are very peaceful and serene. A perfect place for the
repose of
individual soul and spirit. Your friends are right about an early
winter.
It seems to be coming very quickly this year. My college friend who
still
lives in Pueblo, Colorado where I was born and spent the first 18 years
of
this life time said that the mountains are already getting their first
layers of winter snow. Monarch pass which is the main pass for high way
50
over the Continental Divide has had some 8 inches of accumulated snow
this
fall already. At the crest of Monarch pass the elevation is 11,312 feet
above sea level so you can see it is UP THERE. The Colorado HiWay
department does a very good job of keeping the snow off of high way 50
because the huge amount of vehicle traffic on the roads all of the time.

Your friends who live in Taos, New Mexico are just south of the pass
area
and a little more to the east.

There was a time that I would have LOVED to live in the northern
mountains
of New Mexico because the whole area is so deeply connected to the
earth.
So many of the homes there are constructed of adobe and all natural
materials were used in the construction of such buildings. A very
wholesome
way to live.

About the eye wash:

How does it work? Most important is the ingredients to help remove
harmful
bacteria and viruses from the eye area which are in some cases thought
to be
the major cause of most dis eases of the eye like glaucoma and
cataracts.
The objective is to remove the harmful elements that are the cause of
the
dis eased conditions in the first place. Also there are several
ingredients
that help to increase the circulation around and about the eyes one of
those is cayenne pepper. I might have mentioned that one to you before.
The cayenne pepper caused the eye area to burn some and it takes some
getting use to. However you only use about 2 to 10 drops of the
tincture
in each of the eye was cup filled with distilled water. The first
evening
that I used the eye wash I put in 5 drops of the tincture in eye cup
well I
could tell that was pretty strong for me at first but it was rather
amazing
at the sensations that I was feeling at the use of the wash for the
first
time. To begin with a huge amount of sinus drainage from my head thru
the
nose. Second was the "warming" sensation all around the eye area which
is
an indication of increased blood flow and circulation to the area which
promotes healing. So the following day I reduced the amount of the
number
of drops to just two per eye wash cup and it was a better and more
tolerable
level to begin with. Slowly I am increasing it to the high levels and
I
can develop the tolerance for the eye wash.

The ingredients in the eye wash tincture are:

Golden seal root
Eyebright herb
Rue and Mullein flower
Fennel seed
Red Raspberry leaves
Cayenne pepper

Dallas, I am sure you know of some of these herbal combinations. I have
used Golden seal root and red raspberry preparations before in the past
to
heal my dogs of infections they work very well.

During this cold/flu bit I have stopped using the eye wash to spend my
efforts getting over the flu. Which is pretty much under the belt by
now.
Just using a tea made with fresh chopped ginger root and pieces of lemon
peel and the juice of one whole organic lemon plus the cayenne pepper.
The
flu bug does not like to live in an environment that is constantly being
washed with those ingredients AT ALL. Also in hale the vapors of the
essential oil of eucalyptus a number of times during the day as well.

Case in point here economics wise a small bottle of essential oil of
eucalyptus in the 1 oz. size cost about $5.99 and it is good for two
whole
winters worth of flu protection. A lot less expensive than going to the
doctors office wouldn't you say?

I expect the eye wash to take some time. After all the conditions that
bought about my low vision loss did not happen in one day. So I really
don't expect healing to take place in one day either. Perhaps the
repair to
the damaged nerve will take the longest time but first it is important
to
remove the conditions that caused the high pressure in the eye to begin
with. I did not want to have surgery in the eye; it is just too risky
and
if you lose the sight completely due to surgical intervention you have
no re
course. Once it is gone it is gone.

Oh, thank you so much for telling me of the homeopathic remedy ALPHA C +
F
and how well they work for both you and Valerie. I will have to try and
find them. More over to find a good homeopathic physician would be
extremely helpful I am sure there some in the greater Kansas City area
but
just don't know how to start looking for them. Perhaps a Google search
on
the Internet would be helpful.

ALSO:

Thanks for sending the very long article about B.P. Wadia. I remember
hearing of his name way back in about 1958 when I was first introduced
to
Theosophy. The lady in my college town of Fort Collins, Colorado use to
belong to one of the ULT study groups many years before I met her. This
would have been in the mid 20's I am sure. I know she spoke of him very
highly and I think in fact she even met him at one time. Also Mrs.
Campbell
spoke of B. P. Wadia and since she spent time in India at the beginning
of
the century I know she probably met him as well. I perhaps should have
ask
more question about him at the time but there was so much subject
material
to be covered that it never happened. Now both of these beloved ladies
are
gone from the surface of the earth and I have no way to ask the
questions
now.

I don't know when either of these ladies were actively involved in the
ULT
but I have phamlets and papers from the LODGE in Los Angeles dating back
to
the 20's and 30's plus material from India as well. I think the one set
is
called the Aryan Path. i cannot get to those books at this time as they
are
in a room that has not been opened in over 10 years in this house. The
Aryan Path as I remember it was covered with a saffron yellow cover for
each
issue. I am sure you know which publication I am speaking of.

It was interesting to read portions of the e mail message that you
submitted
to the AA-BN list it is very long and I plan to continue reading it in
the
days to come.

It was fascinating to read of B.P. Wadias experience on the island 7
miles
off the coast of Bombay, the quote is below:

"In 1907 BPW mentioned sailing out 7 miles into the harbor of Bombay to
see Elephanta, the famed ancient temple, said to be over 450,000 years
old constructed from the living rock of the island when Rama was then
the King of India. Ages ago, a gigantic stone statue of the Trimurthi:
Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, had been carved out of the rock of the island and
around it a cavern had been chiseled so that a space of about an acre
under stone formed the monument, that the Portuguese named Elephanta."


Dallas, were you able to also travel to this island to see this
fantastic
historic feature? I must be awesome indeed.

ALSO:

Love the part in the history of B.P. Wadia about the blue mountains of
India
the Nilgiri hills or mountains west of Madras. Have you been there
also.

Some how I wonder if moving to such a place as the Nilgiri mountains
would
bring a sense of repose and calm that perhaps you cannot find in the
modern
so called "civilized" world. There are times that just finding the
moments
of peace and quiet give the human soul a chance to come tot he
recognition
of the natural of one's own reality indeed.

Of course all of this brings up the question of "why" yes why are we
living
in the present culture and state of existence that we see and experience
in
today's world? In a cosmic sense of the word we both know there is a
deeper
meaning to all of our existence where ever we are at what ever time in
our
lives. It is all about the experience and how we relate to it in
totality
isn't it?

Dallas thanks for making sure that I am on the AA BN list to have
received
this most valuable information about B. P. Wadia. If was only on the B
N
network it never would have reached me at all.

More later this is getting to be a rather long message for you to read
and
you have many important things to do today.

Many Blessings and very kind thoughts of LOVE to both you and Valerie,

T.
