Nice, Richard. I'm just old enough to realize the value of staying on an even keel and doing what helps that in terms of diet, sleep, exercise, etc. I also like that the good doctor said: moderation in everything. But don't miss anything. OTOH I have missed a few things like LSD and don't mind that I have!

Let's see if you can understand this: 1.3 "jus b reg 2 x y med, ne alt sans 3 guns, seps abs, n' eyes-wide shut; nodoze, no bear down, u enjoy." ( Wallah Sutra 1.3) According to MY, most people are born in a state of mental equipoise but quickly loose it, either through karma, bad diet, bad treatment, extreme stress, or moving away from the physical location most conducive to their natural constitution and temperament. Everyone is recommended to discover for themselves what the optimum conditions for them might be and to try to keep themselves on an even keel. The primary method for returning and maintaining a state of mental equipoise is meditation that is transcendental, and as a supplementary practice, the siddhis, in which stress is replaced with bubbling bliss.
