september 11th date and yoga

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Thank you Dharam Singh and Seva Simram Singh for your insightful comments.

(I hope you all read Dharma Singh's thoughtful letter after Gordon's last

letter.)

 

9/11 was the most dramatic of wake up calls. One of most important things

that any of us can do now is shift our own consciousness, which will in turn

contribute to shifting the collective consciousness. We are so blessed to

have KY to help us do so.

 

The fear and anger that Carlos talks about are in the collective

consciousness. So we all feel these emotions and wonder why we can't

extracate ourselves with even years of meditation. This is because we are

all in the mud together. At the same time, we take everyone with us when we

make a little progress. That is why the process of enlightenment is so slow

yet so powerful and important.

 

The 9/11 events will be the context for our lives for many, many years. The

point that Gordon is making is not to try to forget this happened. We will

of course reference this event as we take steps to integrate a newly found

dimension of reality into our lives. The point is not to make this list

into a political discussion group. Political discussion is valid and

relevant and there are plenty of groups for that.

 

I just got an email from a yoga friend who wrote --

With all the accumulated wisdom that is coming across my e-mail. I have

decided to centrally focus it for all to see rather than passing on more

e-mails. Please Bookmark this site and come to it often. It will be changing

rapidly.

http://inner-net.com/oneworld/ From Doug at OneWorld You can

write him with insightful articles and remind us to take a look.

 

Doug's sounds like a good idea. If anyone else has links to other material,

lists or sites that look particularily interesting you can let us know.

 

What is urgently needed now is our active participation in creating the

actual experience of love in our consciousness. What we want to concentrate

on in this list is cultivating the experience of peace into our psyches.

The goal of this list is to help us make this contribution to ourselves,

each other and the planet.

 

Peace and Sat Nam,
