The word medulla oblongota is something that has been stuck in my mind since I began posting in Sept., I think it was. I just knew in my Ab/Heart that it had a connection to not so Ancient Egypt, what, I had no idea. Not sure if this means ANYTHING to anybody, even me, so, here it is.
“The Trans-Himalayan school... locates Sushumna, the chief seat of these three nadis, in the central duct of the spinal cord, and Ida and Pingala (the two Witnesses of the Apocalypse) in the left and right sides respectively. Ida and Pingala are simply the sharp and flat of the note FA of human Nature, which, when struck in a proper way, awakens the sentries on either side, the spiritual Manas and the physical Kamas, and subdues the inferior by means of the superior.
“The pure Akasha passes through Sushumna (the medullar canal). Its two aspects flow in Ida and Pingala (the pair of sympathetic cords that are entwined around the spinal medulla). These are the three vital airs, symbolized by the Brahmanic thread and are ruled by the will. Will and desire are the superior and inferior aspects of one and the same thing. Hence, the importance of purifying the channels... from these three a circulation is established which from the central canal penetrates the whole body.
“Ida and Pingala function in the curved wall of the vertebral column in which is found Sushumna (the medullar canal). They are semi-material, positive and negative, Sun and Moon, and put into activity the free and spiritual igneous current of Sushumna. Each has its own particular path, then, if this were not so, they would irradiate the whole body.”
