2-& Nina....2/24...... Cause of Suffering?....Lack of Unbounded Awareness!

[Guest guest]

Dear Nina:

 

Beautiful remark, to the heart. In our Western tradition, we have the

extreme example of Christ. He too, was supposed to be one with God, and

though most don't understand quite about his suffering, but to me,... his

enlightenment was so great...that no amount of physical, or emotional

suffering could touch his unbounded bliss....

 

So, much so he rose from the dead. But, I also love Yogananda's book cuz...

it has so many wonderful examples of Easterners...enlightened too.

 

My, Guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, also has said...that a woman's 'program'...

is her devotion to her family, husband and children....

 

Though the transcendental meditation program is ideally suited to all

peoples, householders as well as reclusives..because it takes so little time

and is so practically effective for daily life...

 

So...good luck....and sneak in your meditations...whenever you can.

 

A lot of mothering 'meditators' tell me they meditate in all kinds of

strange and unusual situations...working as they do, and can...around their

children.

 

Jai Guru!

Also.... it's one of the main reasons why I've loved adding Jyotish to my

spiritual, meditative...practices.... because Jyotish explains the ways and

flows of the world ...each day....

and especially understanding our children's and other family members charts,

is very wonderful...

 

 

 

 

 

PS....I don't know if you've heard, but I also write a Jyotish newsletter.

It includes a daily, Transits newsletter as well as other aspects of Jyotish

as well. If you, or anyone else in this group is interested, in

subscribing, feel free to contact me personally at: m.kincaid And

the newsletter is free.
