Hi prana, can you tell us a bit about yourself and what your practises are?

Craig, I hope you have fun, too. really looking forward to your report, and more than that, finding out if you choose to take up the practises and how you get on with them. gezundheit, xxxxx

Ha, Darin. I was thinking - oooooh, I could eat as much ice cream as I like!

I'm trying to find out the actual CONTENT of the new book. I went to kunlunbliss but all I got is very general blurb. Anyone have a list of chapter headings?

I love this thread. It is interesting to see what proportion of us here are devotional by temperament. At the moment I am reading Paramahansa Yogananda's autobiog and carrying about Sri Yukteswar's "Holy Science". The meditations inspired by them are very deep indeed. Yogananda is a fun companion with strong child energy and overflowing love, I find myself making innovative indian food all the time lately. Making basmati rice pudding with rose water, cardamom and pistachio's yesterday, out of nowhere, having never made it before. I think he liked it. Sru Yukteswar is the "Lion of Bengal" with the deepest wisdom, and he looks at me witheringly when I waste my time. He is a great disciplinarian. Their company is humbling and keeps focus. I do believe that at a certain point, we attract the attention of these beings, and benefit from communion with them. The amount of love that they carry is awe inspiring.

I invoke a dragon to protect my house. It curls around it and sleeps. It would wake if need be. I love my dragon.

So it is an impersonal love that you feel, durkhrod? I'm wondering about the burning passion for a master. The heart opening and a divine transmission flooding in.

.

Do you love them durkhrod. Do they inspire your heart and soul and mobilise your spiritual juice?

so you liked it then. Good - oh.

Hagar, I'm sorry I drew you into talking about something you regret posting about. I know people edit their posts away on here... if you want to do that, I will also edit mine. And then it will not have to be stuck here in black & white.

hmm, hagar. I squirrelled away your response and chewed on it, hence my slow response. "It's so easy to kid yourself in practise" is the part I am particularly mulling over. I also have had layers peeled away by retreats, much crying and dissolving and feeling renewed. And raw. The onion metaphor. The kidding oneself.... is that ignorance rather than vanity? ( rhetorical question) Each new level of authenticity that we reach makes the previous one look ..well, inadequate to say the least... Thankyou for sharing that.

Interesting how mudra's occur spontaneously. The other day I was walking to the trad doctor to ask about something that is making two of my toenails less than beauteous. As I walked along my fingers stretched into a strong mudra. I looked it up later and found it was used for expelling toxins.

Fantastic review, Growant. I love the detail, you share your experience graphically, which I really appreciate. I hope you will continue to share your practise experiences.

TaoMeow... thankyou. I understand now. How on earth do you know so much?!!!! respect to you. xxx

I really hope you will be able to concentrate on one thing long enough to write us up a report of your experience, Craig, because it will be great to have your point of view on it all, it really will. I will be nowhere near Phoenix, not even in the same country as Phoenix. But if I were, I'd join you. Have fun.

we dont need to strip nobody. we just love em and love em and the truth emerges like an alien from a chrismus cracker.

Hello Pan. What a great intro, thankyou. Welcome to our community.

Hey Drew. I love the title. Beautiful. however. you might wanna know that I cant see any info about back cover or preview. all I get is the title info and an orange page. I was hoping to have an O at a D from viewing the book. no luck.

Hagar your posts contribute so much. thankyou. you have great clarity of expression. I would love to know more about your loss and regeneration, if you feel so inclined.
