Hello Laura and Steve. It seems as though, somehow, people are establishing, authorized or not, affiliate groups of Self-Realization Felowship. It dosn't bother me so much that even though our friends here didn't learn all of their meditation from SRF we are still practicing some of the same techniques.
I'll make sure I pray to the great masters for our forgiveness even though I know we have done nothing wrong. I get weird like that, sorry. May our lord God bless us all.
I think my brothers and sisters are, in a positive way, rubbing off on me. I really like to sometimes, as Namaste does, end a strain of thought with,
Sat Tat Om *
i think it would be difficult to start an affiliate group of SRF and for me personally and this forum it would be out of the question. The organization was started by the Guru. i/we support it and are grateful to be members. There are many paths to self realization. SRF is by no means the only one. Paramahansa Yogananda honered all other paths leading to God and/or enlightenment. In that spirit we do the same and are pleased when people from other paths join us here at soulsearching. This forum was not designed to exclude other paths nor to make others in our image. We all are climbing that mountain. Someday we will be at the top and ask our freinds how they got there and they might point to a different mountain slope they climbed. However the peak remains the same.
P.S. Thank You for your contributions Goldwolf they often give me a chance to respond to larger issues that may or may not affect those who visit us and become members of soulsearchingforum.com They also bring up points that can/will be added to our 'Misssion Statement'.
