Those who desire to acquire this eternal bliss and of communicating it to others through their teaching, must give up all sensuous pleasures, more especially those which arise from sex union. 14. The body is made up of impure elements, of blood, flesh, bones and the like. Woe to those who are attached to it, and indifferent to the ever blissful Atman. 15. There are three kinds of wine, produced from syrup, grain and honey. But there is a fourth, the darkest of all, the wine of sex, which has intoxicated the whole world How the *&%@ do you get round that one?Few if any of the modern teachers have been able to live up to this example....so what?

That's kind of what it felt like, most recently at the Boulderado. I was not finding 2 inherent "sombodies." Now that "Quantum Wealth" is on the Boulder schedule again, it's time for me to start asking when you are going to teach "Advanced Meditation" again? Most fun *I* (LOL) can have on a weekend! Love & falling into it all, Stacy Yep. That’s kind of what it felt like, most recently at the Boulderado. I was not finding 2 inherent “sombodies.”
