Observations
on Sungazing -- a Mini E-book
During one of several consulting
calls on sungazing in
mid-2004, one of my callers, a newcomer to sungazing (but a longtime
member of the sungazing list) who wanted some basic advice, said to me
(and I paraphrase a bit, due to poor memory):
"Why don't you put your recommendations, observations and guidelines
in a mini e-book and make it available? You could even include your own
observations and conclusions in the areas of sungazing and not-eating,
sungazing and healing, and sungazing and the spiritual path.
Lots
of people want to know more of your observations on sungazing and
not-eating, and the spiritual angle. You could sell it much
like
you sell your syntropic antioxidative microbial brewing e-book, and
this
would give people much basic info, plus some advanced stuff -- from
your
viewpoint -- in one convenient book, so they don't have to search the
Sungazing list group archives for 100 years or wait for your future
posts
on inedia and other topics. It could also help to pay for all
your
free volunteer work on the list and free phone consulting and coaching
on
sungazing. It could also save many hours of phone calls...
you
could even require folks to read the mini e-book before they can call
for
individual consulting!"
Well, I replied that I actually had such an
e-book project
on the back burner, but that maybe I should accelerate its
development. So.... for those of you who are sungazers or
interested in sungazing, and who are frustrated at times with the
limitations of the Sungazing list group -- primarily: - repeated newbie questions and elementary
discussions
- difficulty
of accessing info in past posts, due to the
inefficiency of the groups search engine, which searches only from 200
to
400 archived messages at a time (can take a long time to search 14,000
posts for even a single term!)
- the limitations to exploring the more advanced
aspects
of the topic given the broad nature of the list membership
- the fact that most
posts in archives are on elementary
topics or are irrelevant to your current interests
I have decided to accelerate the timetable of the
mini
e-book type document...
This e-book is not intended to be an
encyclopedia of
sungazing, nor an A to Z guide to sungazing, nor to be a book on the
history of sungazing. Rather, my intent is to share with you my own
experience from my 22 years of sungazing and from having talked with
and
worked with hundreds of sungazers, especially from a spiritual angle; I
will address the ever-present issue of, and claims about inedia as
well. Much of the information in the sungazing mini e-book
will be
material much as I share in the one-on-one individual coaching which I
offer to folks who are sungazers, and also in related spiritual
areas. And some of the material will be on advanced topics
such as
sungazing and inedia as well as sungazing and spiritual growth, much
which I have never shared on the Sungazing list group, and also my own
observation on use of mirrors, lenses, pinholes, polarizers, etc. based
on my own intuitive sense and stories I have heard from friends who
have
been sungazing for over 30 years, one of whom also taught sungazing
seminars in the US. If you have sensed that I do not share
everything that I know or have observed on the list group, this is
entirely true, because, among other things, the amount of (often
trivial
and distracting and misleading) questions generated by such disclosure
of
information -- and the follow-up replies required of me -- would be
overwhelming. And, quite frankly, some information does not
belong
in full public view; it is better given only to those who can really
use
it and who are committed to the work at hand.
With that behind us, Here is a more
complete description of
the e-book document:
I am a degreed scientist, a spiritual
healer, a long-term
mystic and spiritual student, and have been sungazing since the late
1980s. I created in late 2000 or early 2001 the first site on
the
web offering information on sungazing, and I count among my friends and
acquaintances (this was before I ever started the Sungazing list
group!)
a great number of experienced sungazers, some of whom have been gazing
for over 40 years. I have also had dialogues with friends and
acquaintances who have taught classes on sungazing, or who are/were
sungazing teachers, and even authors of books on sungazing or the
benefits of the sun. Two such friends and colleagues have even done
extensive work and research with use of mirrors, pinholes and
lenses.
This copyrighted mini e-book is offered in
PDF file format
containing both basic and advanced information, including my own
guidelines and recommendations for safe and sane sungazing and also on
related topics, such as sungazing related to inedia (not eating),
spiritual practice, spiritual growth, healing, etc. Content
goes
beyond what I have offered on my websites and on the Sungazing list
group.
This mini e-book will also offer my views
on inedia (not
eating) and the claims made by various persons about sungazing and
inedia. On the other hand, this mini e-book is not intended
to be
encyclopedic, nor to delve into the history of sungazing, nor into
overly
analytic or intellectual discussion of sungazing. Rather, it is a
sharing
of my observations and experiences after having sungazed for 17 years,
having been a spiritual student for almost 40 years, and having known
many sungazers.
The document price is $19
US dollars. However,
due to several delays in publication date, I am not accepting any
further
pre-publication orders for this book at this time! (this note was last
updated on February 16, 2010.). When the mini e-book is finally
released,
it will, of course, be immediately distributed to all who have placed
pre-publication orders. My apologies for the delays in releasing this
mini e-book!
