    This note is an reply to the note; What does your "Third Eye"really do?

  Aside from the fact that Taurus and bulls are considered to be male,
  your note has a tone which causes this reader to question its value.

    
    I'm taurus and a bull, and I'm not male?
    	I'd like to hear more

A "taurean individual" need not be male. Reread the note.

    Value? Your view of the word value must be different then mine. I would 
    think Mike should reread the opening note. Expecially the very last
    line. But considering I am a male (Taurean) who has an older sister who
    is a Taurean. And I read more than just letters on an page. I'm sorry
    Mike but to be most frank with you, I think your Ignorance far
    surpasses your Intelligance.
    
    Marilyn,
       I'm glad to know there are some people who can understand. If it's
    any help;"Alan Oken," has six books on astrology. You can write to him
    for more information at P.O. Box 5574, Santa Fe, NM 87502. Or maybe the
    library will have some of his books?  I'll try to come up with more
    later.

    >I think your Ignorance far surpasses your Intelligance. 

    Apples and oranges comparison. Ignorance is lack of knowledge,
    intelligence is the ability to think. It is quite possible to be very
    intelligent and still totally ignorant of many things. For example you
    may be intelligent, but you appear to be ignorant of the spelling of the
    word intelligence.

    Or perhaps I just misunderstood you and you were merely trying to be
    insulting.

    Jamie.

  Well, perhaps I deserved the insult in return for mine (complaining
  about the tone).

  In any case, you (author of .0) shouldn't jump to any hasty
  conclusions about what I know or do not know about Taurus and the
  Third Eye, or even assume that you know as much as you would like to
  believe you do. There may be flaws in your understanding ... stick
  around and Jamie will point them out to you :-). There are guaranteed
  to be flaws in mine, but you don't know what they are, yet, so
  assertions of my ignorance are at best premature.

  By the way, not all of the noters in here are as abrasive and rude as
  myself and Jamie. Why don't you sign in in the sign-in note, so the
  more civilized participants can welcome you? :-) (sorry if you already
  have -- I didn't recognize your name)

    I've read hundreds of entries by Mike in a dozen conferences,
    and in my opinion he is neither ignorant in these matters, nor
    unintelligent in any way I find discernable or meaningful.  
    I have very high regard for him.   Not that it should mean anything
    to anyone, just another opinion 'worth what you paid for it.'  ;-)
    
    						kind regards,

Thanks Todd ...

> just another opinion 'worth what you paid for it.'

... I think. :-)

Anyway, to COMET::ECKER, you appear to have the spunk required to enjoy
participating in DEJAVU, so welcome! Be prepared for debate.

    I'm a Taurus.  4/22/59.. And I gotta Admit that I fit the 2 Traits of
    being Stubbern and having the throat as a Weak_Spot.

    Mazurka, go back to note 1788.6 maybe you'll catch on? At least by the
    way the end of the note sounded, I think maybe even Jamie did???
    
    Mike, don't take it to personally, I would like to think it's all in
    fun.  After all I don't want to make Todd upset just because we see
    differently.
    
    Back to the Topic of a "Third Eye" Tomarrow. I'll have more for you all
    to profread. It's still in connection to Jamie's Topic "What does the 
    Third Eye really do????????????????????

    There is a further important centre,in the middle of the forehead
    between the eyes,at the site of what is sometimes called "the Third
    Eye",this is involved in the higher mystical development of the psyche,
    referred to in the ancient Chinese system of Tao as "the opening of
    the Golden Flower",and even without such a complete development as that
    it is employed spontaneously by many people in "SEEING WITH THE MIND'S
    EYE." In the physical body, this corresponds to the position of the
    pineal gland.
     At each of these points there is, in the physical body, a particular
    nerve centre or glandular centre. All of them,therefore, even at the
    physical level are concerned in essential life functions;and because
    they involve the psyche as well, at its instinctual, emotional or
    mystical levels, we should expect them to have important counterparts
    in the astral body.
     These counterparts exist, and indeed they are most important. They are
    not, however, mere replicas of the physical organs.
     Corresponding to the physical points which have here been mentioned
    (and to other points in the physical body as well), there are in the
    astral body certain distinctive "organs," generally called Chakras or
    Lotuses in Oriental occult systems, and "Centres of Activity" in
    Western systems. Like their physical counterparts, these Centres of
    Activity are vital Gates between the levels of existence.

    Can you tell us more about the Tao?
    
    I'm getting into Taoism these days.

Mary,

See note 1138. Not all the entries are in there, but you'll get a good
impression...

And I can tell you that I feel particularly honored that *I* can point you
to the Tao.....
;-)

Arie

    Oh thank you very much, Arie... I think it's always been my Way... but
    it's taken me awhile to find my Way while following my Way.. (if you
    know what I mean.. ) :-)
