Steve, presently I'm overwhelmingly busy, so I'm not being very diligent in the study of the lessons, although even one page, the ones you suggest for example, I may well read. I emptied almost all my house very recently, books, clothes, you name it, since I have to retrofit. but the lessons remained there, calling me out, I can hear their siren song, lol, may be it means I'm not totally lost spiritually...
These fora are a welcome break in between writing stuff, they help me cool out my brain which is in serious danger of overheating. And of course the break might as well be constructive.
I'm seriously concerned about the yoganandaji.org site, in the sense that Shannon is not the person who would close a forum overnight, such a shipshape professionally mantained one which went without trouble for 8 years and more that I know. Also, why all the internet references have been deleted? Did she receive threats because of some specific posts? That just beats me. Hope everything is well with her and family.
Turyianada's quip was real good, I would have laughed as well I reckon, I usually do not mind being the butt of a joke as you say, people are joking, it means they are happy, cruel jokes are different, no jokes is worrying, some people may be silent or apparently friendly then they stab you at the back.
I thought over your concerns and have been practicing the presence for sometime hoping to answer with some wisdom. We have many thoughts, emotions and memories associated with the people on our sister site; yoganandaji.org Some of the people i have shared past lives with. I believe that one or more of them; Shannon, pochiammos, yoshi or some other members will come forth. They know about us on this site so this would be a good place to contact us. Seeing you here is also helpful. I remember doing a chart on Shannon. She is going thru quite a karmic period in her service and health. They are all very welcome here to be involved to whatever extent they choose anonymously or publically.
There is much more i have to say on this topic that comes with running a forum like this and being exposed to the bias of public opinion. Suffice it to say it may be wise to save my email and i hope to never loose contact with the wonderful people here. Those who i have gained friendship with have my phone number and you are welcome to it also mccoy. Thanks for your concerns for our spiritual friends... It is always best to ask Master's blessings on these sort of things. We often have to be patient with people we meet in life.
