Dear Doctor,
After meeting you on 25th night, I was chatting with Uma and that is when I saw your notice about your book, 'The Other Song' and when I asked for a copy from Uma, luckily a copy was available and I could get hold of it.
 
I was perhaps not entirely prepared for what I read. I have been to your web site and I have read few excerpts from your articles and books, but I had not understood the concept of sensation very well from these.
 
As I started reading the book , I started understanding what you meant by sensation and the entire spectrum of experience from the level of Name - fact - feeling - delusion - sensation - energy became much more clearer. As I read the case studies at the end, it all became very vivid and clear.
 
Similarly the concepts of Plant - Animal and Mineral families and the song belonging to that, also became far more clearer. Dr, I work in the area of HR, and hence I have some familiarity with Freud, and these categories reminded me of the categories that he was talking about - Narcissistic, Erotic and Obsessive respectively. However, reading your explanation brought a very different level of appreciation for these concepts.
 
I have finished the book only today, and I must say that I am tremendously moved and impacted by the entire theory.
 
It feels precious to know that I have the opportunity to interact with you. Your entire theory of 'the other song' resonates very deeply with me. I am not at all familiar with Homeopathy or any similar branch, but instinctively, the entire exposition feels very right and very apt.
 
I read and re-read about your method of going deeper into sensation from delusions and feelings. The fact that non judgmental awareness is required to be able to do that. It touched me deeply ... I have a very analytical habit of mind ... hence it is very difficult for me to just observe and let the picture complete itself ... but the different case studies prove beyond doubt that this is the only way one can go deeper into the understanding of an individual, otherwise, one is just caught up in ones own frameworks and thought processes. Thank you for this learning.
 
Finally, the three laws / postulates,
1. Sensation and action are equal and opposite.
2. The opposite for whatever is said is also true.
3. There is no one or nothing out there other than yourself.
 
These are so apt!! Perfect! In our office we used to say, 'Whatever any one says, it is basically autobiographical', but I have understood this phenomenon at a much deeper level, thanks to you.
 
Dr, I feel priveleged to know you and to know your view point about individuals and life. Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with us through this book.
 
In case you were to take up teaching this personally, I would like to have the honor of learning it directly from you.
 
Thank you once more,
 
With deep gratitude,


Anirudha
