What you said is an incredibly profound concept and it makes me think about how short our lives are in the grand context of it all. I looked up the book you mentioned, it sounds awesome and I was able to find a PDF. I’m going to start digging into it tonight and see what I can learn :) God Bless. And Merry Christmas to you guys!

Yay! I'm so glad you found the PDF version. "Autobiography of a Yogi" sort of finds you, kind of a "meant to be" thing. There's something for everybody within its text. Self-realization and positive affirmations are so important in this life. I had been spiritually "stuck" in my late 20s and a Hindu priest gave me my first copy. My life has never been the same. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Seraphim! God bless!

They were having an exhibition of various religions. In one of the chapels, they had stuff on Hinduism and Yoga. Now I've always had a strong tendency towards the spiritual and was at the time unsure how I should best explore and express this in my own life. This thought was on my mind as I entered this Chapel, which was/is nside the Cathederal and has no external windows and was pretty dark. I had just entered and a beam of light from high up suddenly illuminated a Shiva Nataraja bronze which was part of the display. All doubts disappeared in an instant. Believe this or not, it's up to you. This is not the only experience like this that I've had. T secretswami |

Quoting: _Seraphim_ I’ll start: My most profound realization was how important and life-changing it is to have proper love for oneself. To ascribe proper worth and value to oneself. It’s liberating. More important still is unconditional love for and loyalty to one’s children, family and bloodline. We are the sole curators of our ancestors’ blood, their epigenetic memories, and the reward for thousands of years of their painful struggle to survive. To experience love for a family of my own was the “missing piece” to my soul and I don’t believe a person can feel complete without serving in that natural role as a Father or parent. The most truly moving thing that I’ve ever read were the words of Christ, paraphrased: “For whosoever seeks to save his own soul will lose it; But the man who loses his soul for the sake of good will find it again.” Also the passage recording Solomon’s commentary on love, as contained in my sigline. This is a great thread and should be longer! Your insights are awesome.

User ID: 77963671 ![]() 01/07/2022 03:42 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We stayed under the bed all afternoon, reading, playing games, and laughing. Then we played a game to see who could get out, over, and back under the bed the fastest. Around and around we went. Then it was night time and he tucked me into bed. I lay there realizing that now being under the bed seemed cozier and safer than being on top. It made me laugh aloud. He had taught me to go into my fears with the light - with him, and find freedom in knowledge of every unseen corner. I awoke and wrote the following song. I AM ONE I have walked the road of a lonely soul Searching for a rest From the hostile fray, trying to be safe To find a quiet nest Can compassion flow over wounds grown cold Is there a way to heal? Could I just be me — a minute incomplete And find my real? 2) By your side I’m brave, with an ounce of faith We crawled beneath the bed Faced down my fear, gripped the Devil’s beard And cut off his head. Mapped the vast unknown, of an infant soul, Here I - I have begun If you see a piece while I’m finding me Cry, I am one! 3) All the things I learned, kept me from the burn Of darkest memories And creation’s spark was my rescue ark In the flood of me Then when love arrived, I didn’t want to hide, I wanted - wanted in. When you kiss my scars, I feel that they are Embedded gems. Chorus: I am one I am just begun I am kiln-fired hope I am free to go I am counted tears I am conquered fear I am just begun I am one.
