That sounds like a long trip my friend. It all sounds so ... romantic. Two or
three weeks is more than most people will want to spend in India, at least the
first time. Get out of the big cities as quickly as you can. They are polluted
and crowded beyond belief and filled with crime .When people look at you, they
will see dollar signs in your eyes and wonder which arm they pull to win the
jack pot.. Be careful of what you put in your mouth, even brushing your teeth.
Chances are you're going to get sick. The holy places are places of pilgrimage.
People go there in hopes of healing, from God only knows what diseases. Be
careful of what you touch. Some times it takes a thorn to remove a thorn. Enjoy.

Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: I need some spiritual help
P.S. My mother recently passed away (RIP) and left me and Rita a small fortune,
so we are seriously considering a visit to Mt. Kailash in India to hunt for
rare fungi, as part of our yoga sadhana. We want to visit the Connaught Circus,
the Big Red Fort, the Braj, Puri, Sarnath, Bodhi Gaya, and as many holy spots,
stupas, peeths and dhams, mutts, yogis, swamis, and fakirs as humanly possible,
if they speak any English.
If we see any short, fat, bald-headed guys in bed sheets, sitting cross-legged
inside a tea stall in Kashi or at a funeral on the Ganges, we will get back to
you. Do they have broadband up there yet? On the way over we will probably read
"Following the Equator" by Mark Twain and the "Lonely Planet Guide to India."
by Rama Chandra.
Please send any comments or questions you might have to the address below -
otherwise you can be leaving a message at Whole Foods in Austin - we'll get
back to you. Thanks for all the spiritual help!

Yes, I need some spiritual help - I will admit it - I think maybe I've lost my
soul.
How do I contact the spirit of my dead mother? I really miss her - for 65 years
I was able to call her up on the phone, any time day or night - and talk to her
about anything. Being an only child this was very important to me. Now that she
is gone I would really like to talk to her again.
Will You please help me - I really need some spiritual help. If not, why not?
Is it asking too much of you pundits to give me some spiritual help? If you
don't know how, just tell me you don't know and I will seek help somewhere
else, like on the internet at <alt.buddha.short.fat.guy>.
I already meditate twice a day and do yoga at least once a week, and I respond
to almost every message on spiritual discussion groups, but sometimes I still
get mad as hell. I'm trying to figure this out.
I get down on my hands and knees and pray every day - when I go to bed at night
I pray that I will wake up in the morning; when I do wake up, I give thanks for
being able to wake up. But, how can I pass through the gateless gate and travel
to the other side, beyond the physical world to see my dear mother?
I'm doing the work! So, please help me.
Also, I would like some help with learning human levitation and human flying.
If I knew that secret technique, I could be a billionaire in a few days and I
would give away half of that to the homeless and the needy. I would like to
learn how to rise up slowly off of a sofa and fly up to the side of a mountain
or lift up at Denny's in downtown L.A. to impress my friends and look like a
Zen Master.
I would like to learn more about all the siddhis mentioned by Patanjali, such
as how to become as light as cotton fiber; to be invisible; to be able to see
into the future and the past; make predictions so as to avoid the danger that
lies ahead; and how to pass through solid objects to save time.
And, I would like to learn a few more secret phrases to repeat when I address
the gods so that I could command them to do give me boons and to be able to
cause change at will.
Does anyone on this group know anything about "left-handed" tantra? Or even
"right" handed tantra? How do I go about weaving a basket or making a yantra
and how to please women?
FOR GAWD'S SAKE, WOULD ONE OF YOU GUYS PLEASE HELP ME!
