I was on Purusha when it first started. We moved to
MIU and during the springtime I was assigned to go
around and work on thermostats in all the dorms and
pods. One fine Spring day I turned the corner around a
pod and there before my eye lay three beautiful
topless MIU girls sunning themselves in a little
alcove. Oh my God! My kundalini roared to life in my
second chakra. I just couldn't get the image of that
sea of undulating breats and firm flesh from my mind.
I left Purusha soon afterward a got a girlfriend for
the first time in about ten years and screwed my
brains out. Never felt better in my life!

yeah, the sex drive is too powerful to be willed away. I've wrestled

You should look into Mucuna pruriens, which is a 
natural form of L. Dopamine which is a serotonin precursor.

Yes.  But I'm talking about 2 separate lines:  body (genetic entity)

genetics are the inherited physical expression of past lives, and

It was too cursory response. No, I see most of the
psychological disorders as psycho-physiological: the
whole mind/brain perspective.

The organization of the personality starts as soon as
there is a viable nervous system; it starts
pre-natally. The formation is most intense from birth
to about 5 or 6 years. The psyches of 2 years olds are
very, very active!

strictly as a lay person I've always believed that mental illnesses 
are merely an extension of the subtle craziness many of us 
experience and undertake as an unenlightened accommodation to daily 
life.

Having said that, and read about folks with OCD, it seems to me that 
most of us have a need to at least create the illusion of being in 
control. Common Sense 101. So if we don't feel we are in control, 
what do we do? 

Artificially create a sense of control. If this means doing stuff 
over and over or finding another aspect of our lives to obsess over, 
it is all about control, and the attempt to create it in our lives.

You're a neo-Freudianist, aren't you? This is ironic, because Freud

My own theory is that there are a host of 'causes' of OCD and the 
like. The physiological characteristics of someone with OCD make them 
more prone to OCD behavior patterns and various stressful life 
experiences can trigger/exacerbate these behavior patterns in ways 
that are often associated quite obviously with stressful life 
experiences.

Calling these behavior patterns a "defense" may help in devising 
therapeutic strategies that work with SOME people, but they may not 
help with others.

As far as I can tell, my OCD tendencies were generally very minor 
until I spent 3 years living and working, often 24/7, in a mold 
infested apartment. My ADD tendencies were highly exacerbated also.

Not school age, rather pre-school age. I mentioned
that this can occur at a very early age to point out
that it is quite possible that people are born with
this, or the tendency to develop this. It seemed like
your first post dismissed the possibility of a
physiologic or inherited cause altogether.

I would not ordinarily view the "psychodymanics
of the mind: defenses and self-organization", as you
say, to be be much an issue with one and two year old
children. But that's not my field, and I am interested
if you believe these psychodynamics start that early.

I'm aware of that. What physiological evidence is that obsessions and 
compusions are a defense against an emotionally disorganized 
experience, and how does an SSRI bolster this defense, or whatever it 
is you think that prozac and company do to counter OCD?

No, that's not true. I'm discussing the psychodymanics
of the mind: defenses and self-organization. Of course
there is a genetic component. And why do you see my
rather cursory explanation contradicted by school age
children with this diagnosis? I'll discuss this with
you, but unless you have a mental health background
you do not have enough foundational knowledge to
discuss this in any informed manner. I'm not trying to
be arrogant, but without training and experience with
the mentally ill it's just opinion and not
understanding. Sorry! In the same way, whatever your
field of expertise is, I wouldn't try to contradict
you or offer a critique because I don't know enough
about it beyond mere opionion.

Then how come this disorder is found in children at
nursery school age? And how come this disorder tends
to run in families?

The fact is, no one knows what causes it.

meditation or Buddhism the source of their depression, and they would 
be taught to use remedies to whatever negativities they experienced,

Christian. And is taught to use wholistic means to solve their ills,

Again, not my comment. These were from a year ago. somehow I got bumped 
into the middle of last year's threads and didn't notice the dates for 
a while.

This company works with healthcare providers to
address nuerotransmitter issues with supplements like
5-htp. They have a urine test which measures the
levels and scales them compared to the norm.

**END**

Addressing this question from a different angle than Jeff's I'd be 
interested in knowing if anyone has had any experience and/or 
results from the OTC supplement, 5-HTP?  It is the immediate 
precursor to the neurotransmitter, Serotonin, which the lack of 
availability at the synaptic gaps is addressed by Prozac, Zoloft and 
the other SSRI's (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors).

Serotonin in the body is made slowly and the idea of regular 
supplement of its immediate precursor is thought to help obviate 
depression, etc.  Anyone?  Dr. Pete?

Thanks,

Marek

Sorry to hear about the "something a bit tougher."  Do you feel the 
prozac "handles"  the situation?  I ask this because my Mom has been on 
similar drugs for 12 years and whatever is going on, hasn't been 
handled.  Many people take a lot of aspirin because they get headaches.
I say find out WHY you get headaches and then handle that.  I believe 
there is an underlying "cause" that if discovered can be handled and 
obviate the need for the drugs.  I don't ask you this to make you wrong 
for what you are doing, but to add my own observations.

Best,
Jeff F.

OCD is an anxiety disorder. The obsessions and
compulsions are a defense against an emotionally
disorganized experience. The source of the
disorganization has to be addressed.

According to Mahaaraaja Nader Raama's book yoga is "connected"
to the cerebral cortex. I wonder if that's why meditation is
not necessarily very effective in treating primarily emotional 
problems, like depression. OTOH, I seem to recall you use fluoxetine 
for OCD, or stuff. But I guess there might be a strong emotional
component in OCD, too.

I'm on prozac and my son is on something else. We both meditate and 
swear by it. That we have something a bit tougher than TM by itself can 
handle doesn't invalidate TM. I was told to go to sleep by 9PM every
