Straightening out the question of functionality

[Guest guest]

Hello Andrew and others,

 

I'm sorry I'm again talking about myself as I've been warned.

 

I have to say, my problems do not relate to my spiritual training, my

knowledge, my talents, as those are all good and useful. I should be, and

could be, using them for good, for myself and others. They are good. The

Vedic spiritual view is grand, and I know alot about it, and can work for it

on Earth, and have.

 

My problem is "reward", which is neurotransmitter related, dietary related,

and yes, life issues related.

 

Yesterday I was reading "Encyclopaedia of Celtic Wisdom" by John and Caitlin

Mathews. Therein, they relate a set of Druidic teachings that relate to my

problem. They describe the ancient knowledge of the 3 cauldrons of warming,

one being in the stomach, one in the heart, one in the head. The one in the

stomach relates to life itself, bodily function, the one in the heart is

called the Cauldron of Vocation, and relates to my problems, and the one in

the head can be upset by upset in the heart one, and relates to

spirituality.

 

The heart area one can be upset by various things, many of which I've

experienced. My vocational area of life is struggling for life for years,

being upset by emotional trauma of various types.

 

I know from reading and other studying that dopamine, addiction to pleasure

causing drugs, and neurotransmitters of dopamine, the reward system in the

brain, are all related. (I'm not taking any drugs for a long time now)

 

I know that some have found that raw/vegan diet cures many problems. It's

hard to do it, start it in life, when you feel down. It seems austere at

first, greatly so.

 

I just want to end this and say, that any connecting of spirituality as a

flawed system of understanding to my problems, is seriously off the mark.

That's all I want to say.

 

I do not want to complain to or bother this list with my problems, except in

any hope that it might help others, or might help others to help me. But

I've said enough. This is a very serious issue. It's clear that the Celts in

general are somewhat cursed as a race in this regard. That is documented

fact. I see from studying their ancient culture that they had societal

integration and support in a big way. To feel "lonely" and "sad" for Irish

descent people is a very often foregone conclusion, it seems. But I don't

want to make it so by saying it. I don't want to add trouble to mine or

anybody's life. Quite the contrary, I live for making happiness and

solutions.

 

I wish you all peace of mind, and happiness, and fulfillment in life, and

progress on the paths that take you there. I do not decry any system of

belief, or any knowledge, that helps you find it for yourself.

 

Peace and Love,
