Roots of Yoga....clean roots (and Goddess work)

[Guest guest]

Give me a break. Fear and prejudice. You going to call me a racsist

next. I've spent all my life studying spirituality and spiritual

systems and I have some legitimate concerns about denial, denial,

denial. I'm sorry I make you uncomfortable. So stop with the B.S. and

I won't have anything more to say about Egyptian spirituality. I was

criticising that man's academic assumptions, not his colour, race,

national origin or anything. So quit already.>

Hey Dharam, Seva Simran and everyone ...Sat Nam!

I find this discussion on roots of yoga fascinating...so what's the fighting

for? To my ears Dharam and Seva Simran you both have a point... to be a yogi is

to unite one's individual consciousness with the infinite consciousness of the

universe..right? ..and in order to do that, the study of all the sacred ancient

knowledge is very valuable. We are all striving to truly and deeply experience

the oneness in a fast riding dual world...and as seekers of truth we all know,

or at least claim so, that all great religions of this earth have said the

Truth, with different words, at different times, for different people to hear

and understand...and in the same way, all great ancient civilisations have

grasped and experienced some part of the Truth and made something great of

it...for us to study up to this day.

The way I see and understand it, no one was perfect or else we wouldn't be where

we are today, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't value the information.

People are people and the misuse of spiritual power has always been the case,

probably because humanity has not reached the highest level of

consciousness..yet...or because, even in the highest moments of human history

the elevated beings were not enough to outnumber their opposing dark

forces...but we are always striving, to evolve and move forward and upwards...

and we do! And that's the only thing that matters. We are part of nature and

this is a natural procedure. And all the great ancient civilisations have at

least one valuable piece for us to put in the puzzle. It is the same with Muata

Ashby's theory...it may not fit perfectly with my own cosmic theory, but it

definitely has some aspects that give me a whole new perspective on my

search..and that's very valuable to me...................wow that was long!

love and light

Sat Nam Seva Simran,

Imagine I am driving along one of those mountain roads with a 2,000

foot drop off along the edge. If I spend enough of my time focused on

guard rail (the Intrigue of the Negative Mind) and not on the road, I

will eventually end up driving through the guard rail....it's a

guarantee. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

conscious mind." (http://www.sahej.com/Sodarshan.html)

It's that simple. It's that simple. It's that simple.

and I hope you remind ME when I get OFF!

It would be "nice" if some of us can be trusted to have an open

discussion of the African roots of this Sacred Technology in a safe

forum without our curiosity being squashed by some [unclear?] fear or

prejudice.

Nirbhao, Nirvair (Fearless and Revengeless)

There are foreigners and people of color on this list. Please make

some attempt to understand how others might feel. It's offensive to the

rest of us for you to associate that whole other topic with this

subject, regardless of your personal history. I trust you can appreciate

that.

Let's not blur these domains. If you want to talk about Black Magic

and abuse of power, lets start a completely new Thread independant of

Ancient Egyptian spirituality or African religion. You can call it "The

Pitfalls of Spiritual Practice.....any Spiritual Practice." We certainly

can have THAT discussion, and probably wouldn't hurt to do so. I myself

have brought it up (check the archives). We've talked about Sex, Death

and the Kundalini crisis. What's left?

 

There is so much more to learn from the Ancients. I found of

particular interest the reference that ancient peoples had a larger

Thymus gland than present day peoples. The Thymus, in the ancient Greek

writings, was said to be the seat of the Soul and has a direct baring on

immune system function (sense of self). The Thymus, nowadays, is barely

acknowledged in Western medicine. Could it be that the Ancients had a

greater capacity for Soulfulness and Faith? That's the kind of

discussion I'd like to have.

Greetings,

 

Please visit our web site and click on the sections in the Sema

University column on the first page. The site is quite extensive and

will give you an idea of the teachings contained in the books and the

future presentations and seminars.

 

You and the Kundalini Group may be interested in a new presentations I

will offer as part of a series on Arat Sekhem (The Serpent Power) that

will commence at the 2003 Goddess Festival in December. Some of my

students have expressed an interest in the Serpent Power path and this

will be conducted if there is sufficient interest to add it to the

program. This series will be based on our book The Serpent Power.

 

Peace and Blessings
