Re: *what foods these morsels be!

Hi Maya,

I was thinking the ebay seller's stuff felt *right* too -- but then maybe I'd better wait until I get the dried gojis I ordered (?) around the end of May, from a seller who said some of the profits went to support Tibetan projects...He's very nicely told me they should arrive soon, and that sometimes it takes ages to Canada.

The one thing I'm see-sawing on, with this raw shilajit is that so much I've read so far seems to suggest it be *extracted* so as to be bio available, AND to remove impurities. Much seems to be made of these impurities (But my gut asks, wouldn't they be okay, IF the shalajit is truly being collected from very good places? After all, it's eons old. Could there be harm in that? You read that, I'm sure...Sacred mountains are best they say...and I just know (believe) it.

Then again, it's also said by some that it's impossible to maintain the purity of the water used in the extraction process. But why would that be? It doesn't compute.
(Ah, too much to get knowledgeable about!) I'd be inclined to reason the extracted product is simply "standardized" to a much more dilute strength -- after all, $$$.

This seems an important morsel of info. >>> That there haven't been any bad effects reported. Except maybe getting a little high, which supposedly resolves quite quickly. (I haven't tried Maca, but I always got the impression Shazzie -for one- was pretty high on the stuff--either that or the durian. ;-)

Self-experimentation is pretty consuming eh?

Do you ever wonder why it is we seem to always be so fascinated with seeking and finding more and more super-foods and elixers? Is it just, do you think, a longing for the purity of what is ages past, and may serendipitously now be visiting us, arriving in the form of *good karma* so to speak? Or do you think this quest and thrill is a form of seeking after power--maybe the remnants of other lives, when it seemed we had more? (or maybe much less!) Or-- and this has a ring to it: could it just be all about the inner knowledge that we ARE incomplete here, if we are attached to being these bodies, these names, these lives, and knowing this, we ironically
(and with some bittersweetness) replace *Divine Self-Realization* in some way with *mere morsels* ?

;-)

*I once years ago, saw the phrase "what foods these morsels be!" on the underground in London.(advertising a restaurant. The ad went on to talk about the usual restaurant cooking as a prime example of "the bland leading the bland"... It made a deep impression on me, I s'pose.)Wonderful humour, eh?

keep us posted about the shilajit, okay?
