re: Josh Miers & Rick Ross (why did nobody answer me)

[Guest guest]

Hi to All

 

I don't intend to get involved in the debate about the Rick Ross Web site -

this has raised its head on this list back in January of this year - then as

now the person who raised it d to the list, dropped a large stone

into the pond, and then left again. Is this a coincidence? If anyone cares

to look at that site they will find that Ross comes across as a very

embittered individual with a huge axe to grind against 3HO. I would

certainly dispute Josh's claim that it is all "true" - I can't debate it

with him as he has already left us.

 

My argument against such overt negativity stems from personal experience - I

have been practising KY for over 2 years, and I know how I have benefitted

from its positive influences in my life - I am sure that many more of you

have had similar experiences.

 

Probably the best thing I can do is to append the message sent to the list

by Gururattan on this very subject back in January.

 

Sat Nam!

Dear Friends,

 

Life is filled with choices. That is what free will is all about. In this

world

of duality there will always be those who seek the Light, chose to help

others and act compassionately. There will also be those who seek darkness,

destruction and choose to seed fear. Our choice is our own.

 

Years ago one of my teachers heard and listened to destructive information.

I will always remember his comment. He said, "I wish I had not heard. And I

wish I had not listened. It is so much harder to remove doubts and

negativity from my mind than to let them enter. Now I have more cleansing

to do than before. I did not need to add that extra burden to my already

heavy load."

 

In the end we are responsible for ourselves and no one else. If we can

actually deal with our own issues, we are very fortunate indeed. I have

personally found that the only way to even have a chance to do this is to

work on my own growith and not distract myself from myself by meddling in

others affairs.

 

Once we are perfect, maybe we will have time to looks at others' possible

imperfections. But then we probably won't want to waste our time on that

pettiness. We will devote our lives to helping each other, not condeming

each other.

 

TIPS = My touchstone is "Is this my movie or someone else's?"

 

"God is the judge. Everyone is accountable and answerable to "God." My

business is my relationship with "God". Anything else is not my business.

 

The Tao says "The quickest way to enlightenment is through non-judgment."

 

My approach is to choose what technology works for me and to use it to get

closer to Light and Love. It is my connection to the Divine within myself

that will help others achieve the same, if they choose. This is a full time

job. My schedule is full. And so is my life with wonderful people, lots of

opportunities to serve and a short time to enjoy these prescious moments on

Planet Earth.

 

The subject of this list is Kundalini Yoga, how to use it, how it impacts

our lives and how we can support each other in our conscious evolution to

open our hearts to ourselves and each other. It is my intention that in the

process we will make our contritubution towards a peaceful, sustainable and

heart-centered world.

 

Blessings to all.

 

Sat Nam,

 

RAttana
