Actually, the idea of a poison that heals is found in tantric as well as Jungian writing. >From the Tantra-tattva of Siva Candra Vidyarnava: "...the delirium has got worse...the chief of Physicians...then searches His entire stock of remedies, and prescribes rasayana. At other times it is poison, but in delirium it acts as a great mantra, renewing life... It is when all other medicines, all other Sadhanas, have failed that the necessity arises for the Tantra Sastra..." (Woodroffe J (ed); _Principles of Tantra_ [English version of the Tantra-tattva of Siva Candra Vidyarnava]; Ganesh, Madras, 1986; Vol 1, page 154) from Thomas Moore, a psychotherapist: "...jealousy, like all emotions tinted with shadow, can be a blessing in disguise, a poison that heals... The only way _out_ of jealousy is _through_ it... Its pain comes, at least in part, from opening up to unexplored territory..." (Moore, Thomas; _Care of the Soul_; Piatkas, London, 1992; p 101) Om Shantih Colin , "NMadasamy" <nmadasamy@s...> wrote: > > buttercookie61 wrote: Maybe also send good energy to those who are as > yet unable to receive the Love Guruji offers.
