I thought I understood the principles of difference here.

But your last statments seem contradictory to me. If as we are given

from ayuveda to know that ghee is lighter weight than honey for the

same volume, how can you say 1 gram of ghee is equal to 1 gram of

honey is exactly 1 ml volume? Maybe I'm not too clear headed here.

Part of why I don't manage/focus on switching my brain to metric -

leaning on the forgiving nature of the herbs, with also the variable

digestion of even different bodies of the same weight, etc. I figure

1/2 - 1 tsp of total powder mixed into per cup of hot water or milk

for most herb applications.

 

BTW, a note re the closed recent discussion, it may take short time

for seminal fluids to replenish in young men, but the ojas takes

normally about 30 days, right? Unless proper milk/dates/ghee etc is

taken perhaps, still depends on some things. Agree with most of your

thinking, but also have experienced myself feeling bad for the

classical 3 days after ejaculation (my less aware of his energy shift

impacts husband's). So he was kapha big and strong, vital and "felt

fine". But I took on the responsibility somehow to keep things

balanced, and it was very difficult without his perceptual

agreement. What that taught me about relationshiops (personal or

non) and influences on styles of functioning was ... well opened some

deeper experiential understanding, anyway, with reflections on chakra

balance, cerebrospinal energetic balance, etc.
