Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Sat Nam, I'm writing from years of experience in the trenches of the 1970's in 3HO where everyone probably had a residue of " manic bipolarism " due to the psychedelic expeditions many of us had engaged with in our previous evolutionary experiences as " would be, one day aquarian yogis. " We were of that 20 million who had been reduced to 1 million by the end of the 1970's. There were casualties, and there were remedies. And that era ended in a kind of unrecognized triumph. One of the most direct and potent rescue remedies for whatever you want to call bipolarism today (it used to be schizophrenia, manic depressive disorder, now its bipolar, the nuances of diagnosis change, human nature hasn't changed) -- that direct intervention was hard, sweaty MANUAL LABOR. That's what a brass bed factory was. That's what we did. We had nut cases working there that you wouldn't believe today. The history should tell of what was done so wisely and kindly by Yogiji. Many of those cases quit in midstream and called him a slave driver. But we were all slaves to a dysfunctional planetary culture, and going through the tests were the only possible way out of the piscean disease. Guess what, the fever's at it's highest ever today, and it's about to break. After the storm there will be birds. and flowers. and joy. many Blessings to everyBody, Krishna Singh Kundalini-Yoga , Abner Wilner <senatorabner wrote: > > Sat Nam everyone > I just joined this group and feel blessed to have found you.

I always thought i was plain old depressed, because i NEVER get manic. I seem to cycle between severely depressed and mildly depressed, with moments of apathy and/or joy here and there. Kundalini yoga really helps, and yet the more I learn about BPD, the more often I read that one " Must " be on meds to control it. Otherwise, you're at risk of eventually offing yourself. Because I believe in reincarnation, I know I can't off myself, but I must confess that my mind/ego often strays off in that direction. It's just a state of mind of complete (and perceived) powerlessness and hopelessness. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
