Life 95% attitude and 5% reality

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Goldwolf your post about dreams was so wonderful and helpful. There r so many things to comment about it. It will require much pondering. In the meantime i will just make a couple observations: i hope sincerely that there is not such a long space between us.  Soul Searching has become a spiritual force because of the members who have come here. It is a place for friends/lovers of the divine to grow together. It is the combined energy of everyone here that makes it what the place it has become. You create it with us.

There are so many wonderful people who have hung on.... Nomaste who has helped economically and with his friendship and spiritual inspiration. Squirrel with his sense of humor and insights on human nature. Yoshi for her continued perseverance and presence through all her difficult transitions in life. Into Blue for friendship, support and  unselfish service. Eric for his deep contemplations about life. Serena for keeping the site beautiful and her supportive friendship. There are so many others that stop in from time to time and give us a surprise. They are appreciated also and are too many to mention. But never forgotten.

Through Gods grace and the gurus meditation techniques all is possible. So If i am ever able to express a little genius (as you have said) it is because of meaningful contacts and between moments of desperation and challenges that God has created in my own life and others. Yet through each experience we r gaining wisdom and all express the divine genius from time when we, in our life experiences, recognize the opportunities put before us by grace.

God and the Gurus will always throw another curve at us to work out some other knots and kinks in our personalities if we r in tune and seize to criticize and blame others. In the process we r recognizing that we ourselves r responsible for every thing we have created in this dream theater called life. Life is 95% attitude and 5% reality.

Your comments are so thought provoking Goldwolf. See u searching and moving towards the lite as it seems you are doing so well over the years in this accomplishment. Hope to meet u in person someday.

  I'm astounded by your genious on this subject Steve. Who ever thought a small group of yojis could end up on the same internet site together and discuss the secrets of the Universe. Books of Mythic proportions such as Autobiography of a Yoji and the Bible are mysterious and exciting and fill our hearts with love. We of course are reaching out and somehow there is always love, from friends, that is our peer group and of course the love of God is ever present as well.

  It is truly wonderful how many dreams are shared on this site. That's all I got for now friends. I would share all the secrets of the Universe with you here and now but I'm still working on that one. (Ha!)

  Hey Steve, your post reflects the fact that a lot of hard work went into this site. I remember thinking to myself, "I bet Steve can't wait until the site (we!) get 25 members", now it seems like there is a sort of village goin on here. I think it's pretty kool.

  We'll meet in person one day. I'm right down the street. We're on the same planet so I'm right next door. Quoting the the movie Excalibur, Persivel (spelling?) says "the world's not that big". Indeed the world is round and not flat like a video game with constricting rules so anything reasonable, that is honest and noble, that good people as ourselves can think of we can accomplish without too much trouble.

  I get a little upset that I havn't made it to a convocation yet but I know I'm going one day. I still don't know Kriya yet but that definitely is something I am continuously moving toward. My meditation time went down from 30 to 45 minutes to 15 to 20 minutes because of my advancement in the Om technique. (Though rejouvenating when a person reaches a certain apex or an apex for that period of spiritual advancement the yogi can be overwhelmed by shock, the ability of the brain and the mind as a whole to process the spiritual intelligent lifeforce as well as the effect of the energy on the body itself. The energy dosn't damage the body but it's like you have rechargeable batteries. To begin with the batteries can't hold very much energy and when fully charged they become hot and then it's time to turn the charger off. Therefore, as the body is governed against damage in meditation through the various body systems an auto shutdown happens such as an otherwise unusual loss of concentration which can temporarily lead to shortened meditation time, as is currently my case, for now, I'm working on it!.)

 I know I'm just at the tip of the iceburg but there is a great deal to explore in the great beyond of the Om vibration. All of God's treasures are in the great Om treasure room and they are all free! Well, not free because we give God our love but I imagine our lord is reasonable because you seem to recieve a million to one in meditation when you consider the pysical act that puts the yogi in the trance state or a hightened state of awareness while meditating. We compensate the rest with love for God and rightous acts such as being a good example to others or helping the world become a better place in whatever way we are comfortable with.

  I'm not living in poverty (thank God). I'm not curently working but I have $300- a month I get from a trust from my Grandad (RIP). So, I'm doin o.k. in my opinion. I know the basics for starting a business and have my IRS # and all that. Taking that into consideration and also the fact that I know everybody in my home town of Beloit Wisconsin (where I currently live at) from where I'm at now to moving around the Country a little is only a matter of passing Go a couple times. Good thing any hotels I may be staying at arn't as expensive as the actual Monopoly game!

  Though not materialy rich (yet!) I feel rich. I've spent hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours using skills I learned through Self-Realizatinon Fellowship to improve my body for meditation and overall health. The EE's are great. If you can imagine something you can do you can use the energy to continually improve areas of the body to get the vehicle to respond the way you want it to. Focusing on the brain has helped me dramatically. Also a person always can focus on the muscles and I don't mean to sound too obvious. I've studied personally to a certain extent things such as (to give an example) the relation of certain body groups or systems to each other. I've noticed in my body and have sent energy to stabilize and potentially make better the group: inner and outer bone marrow, the skin, the brain, the blood, the internal organs and the rest of the body. That is the order of how to do this sort of body upgrade (in my own words for my personal experience). The thing is before doing the skin energy needs to be sent to the human energy field (aura) so there are 7 or 8 areas of concentration depending how you look at it to maintaine good health in the grouping of 7 areas of interest that make up the human body that is 1 shell that we look after.

  I don't pretend to add anything to the SRF lesson because that's impossible. You could talk to a thousand people and seamingly come up with 1000 different yoga techniques, one from each of them but further introspection would lead a person to the obvious conclusion that all of these are just different ways various individuals express themselves or use (utilize) the gifts that God has givin us. Soaring through the Cosmos from Adam and Eve down to each and every one of us, I imagine no one can count the ways we use and find joy in using the gifts God have given us.

  Taking a look at my life, the things I do on a regular basis, my opportunities. My percieved (status) in certain groups, I know the World is not real. My life isn't even reality. Having illustrated that, it is true, that is to say a proven fact that life is 95% attitude and 5% reality. Steve said it, it has to be true!

Karma is a subtle nature of creation. Life is a journey back to divine consciousness instead of the results of previous actions otherwise known as karma.
