Rogue Elephant and VW Bugs

[Guest guest]

Leo,

Oh my Goshes! You're as tough as they come. I don't think I have words in my

vocabulary to accurately describe to another what you are going through

("Humbling" is the one word I thought of just before deciding to not even try).

I think of the suffering that Guru Arjan and Guru Teg Bahadur went through at

the hands of the enemy might compare, and how they went through it with the

"Wahe Guru" on their lips. For them it was a fulfillment of their destiny and a

requirement of the times. (can you say Wahe Guru?)

You don't get to be famous...at least not yet, anyway. Your sense of humor is

refreshing, though, all things considered. I like my gag reflex, as many of you

know, but I like some control of the Elephant....I mean there is an Art to

Barfing (Barfing Arts).....and funny thing you should mention Volkswagens as I

have had five of them. There is a Guinness listing of a fellow who ate one (a VW

Bug). It took him seven years. He grinded the car down and ate the shavings a

little bit at a time. He probably didn't even gag!

Keep up my buddy,

Dharam

drugs, I also have to take other drugs that will make my body accept the drugs

without killing me. Think of it as chemotherapy with no rest periods. One of

those drugs is a powerful anti-emetic to deal with nausea, so ideally, you

should be able to shove a Volkswagon down my throat and not engage my gag

reflex. Yet about 1 out of three mornings, I am waking up between 4 and 5

puking my guts out.. Somehow I don't think this counts as Elephant Kriya if

it's involuntary. And puking is my LEAST favorite thing to do!!! Meanwhile I

get a great ab workout! (It's an ill wind indeed that blows NO good anywhere)

However, after heaving bile for 30-45 minutes, I can't tell ya'll how wracked my

body is on these mornings. All I want is a little water and to rest, not drag

myself to the yoga mat. Yeah I know it's the "ambrosial hours", but

functional. Kinda damned if I do damned if I don't, you know?

> Which kind of brings up another topic. I know we're not supposed to do

yoga less than 2 hours after eating. Because of the meds that I'm on however,

I'm not really allowed to "run on empty", in part because of malabsorbtion of

food by the body - again, medication related. In fact, I often get up in the

middle of the night to eat! I can't afford to lose ANY body-weight. I try to

be as empty as possible, but certain things just aren't feasible.
