Thank the god of fire that re-enforcements of more revolutionary millenarians have finally spoke up up on this list. Welcome LuvGemLight to the fray. You got through to us. You are on the front line here out-numbered with only a few of us by your side. There's quite a few non-meditators and counter-revolutionaries lie-ing in wait to bush-whack meditators who come out here. It's a terrible place to stand up. I am glad you are up here with us. It often takes fire to fight fire. And water. What did Maharishi say about water in relation to Agni fire? You know, as a cannoneer to fire a cannon you have to ram swab the barrel with a wet mop before you load the charge or the powder charge might spark off and go BOOM as you load it. In a fight many a cannoneer lost their fingers and hands ramming loads if they ran out of water in their swab bucket and came to be without swab water on the battlefield of llife. Water, does water have something elemental to do with Gem Light Therapy? The role of water in chakras and Gem Therapy? Did Maharishi ever talk about this? You seem to be deep with this. I appreciate that. -Buck
