Amma's 10 lessons on Yoga Psychology-Lesson 1

[Guest guest]

Thank you for this eloquent treatise! You really captured the pith of

yoga's strength -- to capture the relation to the cosmos and not

merely the ego. The answers to " Who am I? " are indeed slogans used

for the purpose of societal cohensiveness and palliative care rather

than penetrating insight.

 

The words regarding Rene Descartes were also right on target, but

let's not dismiss all of Western philosophy with one blanket

assessment. The phenomenological school (my own parampara) have

succeeded in throwing Descartes's " I " off of its pedestal. In

particular E. Levinas has composed a profound system that bases

philosophy on morality instead of morality on philosophy.

 

Thanks for that one!
