Rascal my dear friend,I feel you credit me with far too much,but I thank you for the kindly thought.

My limited take on this,to kick off if you so wish,you talk of ancient principles,eastern ideals of mastery of mind,the higher self over that of the lower self,of authenticity,
sychronicity,spontanaeity,realism of being,mastery of self,developing these principles
of mental discipline,that lead to union and harmony within,with expansion of consciousness,and of realized awareness,the more occult or esoteric aspects went
far deeper into this,and spoke of union within the spinal area(the home of kundalini)
the serpent within the spine,that when these two rotary motions were harmonised
then Ying and Yang were balanced within that being.

This lead to authentic living,spontaneous actions,rather than re-actions,insight into
previously unknown aspects of being,a deep understanding of ones fellow man,and
an acceptance of things that we would find hard to understand.

When sychronicity becomes a regular aspect of your life,it is the universes way of saying
you are on the right path.

hope this little piece is of some use Rascal.

regards michael.
