Hi, Rich. When looking at Healing Class - Lesson One -- The Quest for
the Mother, on the second page

http://www.godchannel.com/quest2.html

at the bottom, the author suggests we read Right Use of Will by Ceanne
DeRohan and provides a link to that author's webpage. The GodChannel
site does suggest that DeRohan has insight into the issues between
Spirit and Mother, and that, while Ms. DeRohan does not endorse the
GodChannel website, many of the terms and language constructs are
originated by her.

It's actually at the Right Use of Will website

http://rightuseofwill.com/

that the far infrared saunas are brought up as a therapeutic
detoxifying adjunct to a spiritual life. Note also that there's a
little winky next to the sauna stuff in my post.

Thanks for taking the time. I'm usually interested in looking at new
varieties of religious experience. I guess you could call it a hobby
of sorts. No offense meant.

Chris
