acceptance
Anything in life that we don't accept will simply make trouble for us until we make peace with it.-Shakti Gawain
anything you ignore feeling, blocks the flow of energy! ............ acceptance......... be unattached
The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind.-Dr. Wayne Dy

Wow! This makes so much sense. If only feelings and emotions would not muddy the waters it would be so much clearer. Yoga is a great teacher.
How yoga works is a great read. What insight did you come away with?
I also want to read Conversations with God. Would like to hear what you learned from that one too.
Feelings and emotion don't muddy the waters our minds do. That is what yoga teaches. feel the feeling, experience it, accept it, be unattached to it. If your feeling this muddies the water, that is a reflection of your mind. Empty mind, still mind that is clear.
How Yoga Works
Things are not in and of themselves (the pen), our minds make it.
The seeds going off. "The seeds are planted simply by seeing others as something different from ourselves."
We are not different, we are all the same. We are one.
"It comes because
Those who understand things
Have broken through the idea
That past and future
Are times that could exist
In and of themselves." IV.12
"And if we would be free of all this - as we all wish to be, deep inside - then then we need only to take the first step, to do small things for others; to try to remove the division into their happiness or my happiness. And that all begins with never hurting others to get what we want. It begins with those precious forms of self-control, and expands to doing the opposite - to helping others, to serving others - until the day we become what we have really always been striving to become: a being whose eyes are no longer limited by time, nor even space, in the service of others."
unity
Stop the cycle, be unconditional love (pages 129-131).
This is some that I came away with from How Yoga Works
Conversations with God put into words what I have always felt deep within, but buried by (this would be a whole other conversation?). Anyway, you're sitting in Sunday school class and they're teaching a scripter and it doesn't quite feel in sync with my soul. This has cleared all that up. I resonant with the message. Thank God that I have finally awakened. I am aware now. This isn't learning it's connecting with what is.
Namaste,
Mike
Thanks Mike for your insight. That does make a lot of sense. It's just me getting it. Fully understanding it. I am so still just a work in progress but enjoying the journey. Once again Thank you.
Namast'e
I just wanted to tell you about another book you might like. Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Myer or for that matter any of her books. They are all insightful. Just wanted to share.
