are you ready for harvest right NOW?

[Edinburgh]

The side effects of Aya sound similar Peyote. Sure hope it tasted better. Though, after throwing up everything down to your toenails...I still wonder if some of the clarity of mind experienced is as much gratitude for being able to breathe relatively pain free. Thankfully, diarrhea was not part of my peyote experience.

Aya is very hard to drink, it tastes awful. The way round it is to hold your nose, and then you can't smell anything whilst injesting.

Curiously enough, I've just discovered (right after reading about it, I've found your post) that the innermost tattwa or tattva, Akasha, is related to the sense of hearing. I barely tolerate any kind of noise; I have to use earplugs to get to sleep and then keep them most of my waking time at home too (sounds are for me even more annoying than direct artificial light or extremely sunny days). I'll look for that documentary.

It could be that you have a left brain/ right brain imbalance? Barely being able to tolerate sound is not a typical condition to be in. I had a condition where if I closed my eyes, sometimes I would feel tension between the eyes.

However, some good news! I tried the 'hemi-sync' system ... and it's been very, very interesting. There's 6 CDs of material, and I'm only halfway through the first CD, and already I feel a lot more 'aligned' ... the tension between the eyes is gone. I feel 'tuned' ... like a violin or instrument that was needing adjustment. I feel calmer, more centered, better in everyway.

It's hard to explain ... the way that Talbot explained it was that the universe is a hologram, which uses Fourier mathematics. Our brains also seem to be operate as a type of hologram, again explained with fourier mathematics.

The part where hemi-sync comes in: If our brain sides (left and right) are out of sync, then our interactions with the world could be out of sync. By balancing, using hemi-sync (or other similar techniques) we are able to 'fit' into the hologram better.

Buddhist monks who've practiced meditation for dozens of years, say after trying the hemi-sync approach, that the results are very similar. However, not everyone has a dozen years to spend meditating 6 hours a day :-)
