I had not expected many would visit and read, since this blog is not advertised anywhere. However, today when I checked the stats, I found it has generated much interest and many read it daily. I looked through it again. there were several typos that are not common in my scientific publications but common in blog, not because this content is less important than scientific one but simply because the publication in a reputed journal would not be accepted unless typos are removed. Mine can be found through google scholars. This one too had many and it is a shame really. May Babaji forgive. No wonder there is suffering in world. It is consequence of human shortcomings. Humans have much need of progress and evolution yet even if they happen to be some of the most educated one's of the planet like this blogger. My understanding suggests it is because we are young on the evolutionary scale. I have corrected a few typos in a hurry today, but shall return to it again when the Lord permits more time to look through again. Other duties call now as happens when a human continues to live in society. The one today for me is to get my internet plan renewed in a hurry or even this would not be possible.

These were on the mystic side and it is never a good idea not to do that for posterity, although I have left my novels and technical works largely unrevised<br /><br />Soma had tall stocks, a sweet frothy juice that had to extracted by crushing, grew in wet lands and had red, yellow green stalks, all just like sugar cane. There are many varieties and some would have had other compounds to complete the effect it seems. If it has gone extinct, there may be a way to replace some of the genes with modern methods and I had mentioned some suggestions in this direction in earlier notes. I shall return to the topic again perhaps some day, and if I do then I shall let you know for sure.<br /><br />In the meantime I did leave enough suggestions and info for others to pursue in my public notes<br /><br />Thanks for your comments<br /><br />Best wishes and cheers Ashok https://www.blogger.com/profile/13678997673056672234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25534988764984681.post-22882103345528444302017-05-19T13:52:53.800-07:002017-05-19T13:52:53.800-07:00Thank you for getting back to me quickly Ashok I ...Thank you for getting back to me quickly Ashok I guess the next search would be for a variety of sugar cane that matches the description of the legendary plant Soma. others think it might be psychedelic mushroom, or plants that has ephedra in them but that's just a drug and not what the ancients claim. don't give up on your search you seem to have a good heart and willing to share.. take care Lindsey bates Auggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046876989574084945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25534988764984681.post-90064895089024223952017-05-18T20:42:00.209-07:002017-05-18T20:42:00.209-07:00I did some, some time ago.

The note on it is in my other blog - life and spirituality at https://someitemshave.blogspot.com - Eventually my leaning was towards a sugar cane variety likely extinct now rather than dogwood.
