This Body

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Eric I appreciate your supportive comments above. You have been here and active for more years than anyone. I’ve only been here longer because it was Nicky and I who created this site and stayed on (even after her transition) lol …. I have met many Kriyabans like ‘this body’ with many other beliefs unlike my own. Perhaps he has close friends who follow his guru ( I really don’t know) So I’ve learned to accept them as my own brothers and sisters as Paramahansa Yogananda asked us to do, despite our surface differences. Even when spending time with Amma I found many devotees with similar tastes and others with very few other than a love for God. We all have to balance our interests with our world views and need to show tolerance. Sooner or later we all go through that spiritual lesson. Otherwise we may be placed in an incarnation specifically having a life resembling those we have difficulties tolerating and tolerating us. We aren’t here to please everyone but we certainly can show an appreciation for their views otherwise what have we achieved spiritually speaking?

I was privy to some important lessons that Paramahansa Yogananda lived and expressed as an example even personal ones that no one that I know ever spoke of except I met people that were with the Master and he was exceptionally tolerant of others, and their widely differing views. Especially meetings with them and in his encounters with them, with his long hair and Hindu garb in the early 1900’s in this country. I find that this body has a very strong connection with his guru and who initiated him. That is admirable and eventually we hope to hear his teachings and experiences with them if he so chooses.

Hello all.

Sorry Uwe or Steve if I've disturbed your peace. I will likely continue sharing technology and world events that interest me. By no means is my doing so meant to be intentionally agitating and by no means is what I'm presenting meant to be definitive truth. I am not here to provoke people or tell others what's what. I am simply sharing because I find whatever I am sharing of interest. I do think I have a past life memory(or a present life association- Akashic records?) of an energy dynamic similar to the lore of fallen angels which in part fuels these interest. If in the future there are members who join and find what I'm sharing worth discussing, great. If, however, these remain one off post because others here do not share the same interest, that's fine too. Members have every right to voice their disagreements and/or virtually 'walk away' from threads that are detrimental towards their spiritual life.

I appreciate your concern and advice- both Uwe and Steve, and I appreciate that I have not been censored for thinking or believing in unpopular ideas. That being said, whatever we post here, I hope we all remember that we are a spiritual family that share some similar values. That the pursuit for truth, beauty and goodness are something we hold dear. I believe, the members here, believe in kindness. There may be times we argue with each other like a family does, but there are times we remind each other of the greater truths in Life too.

I appreciate the kind wishes. I acknowledge that I might not always walk in peace- but that my internal struggles for peace and love remains a core tenet of my existence.

What is fascinating is that we have members here from different parts of the world- that all seem to have some deeper appreciation for Eastern philosophy, kriya yoga and pantheism. I don't think it will always be like that, but for now- this is a unique bond.

Love both your names. This Body because it shows no identification and uwe because there’s no me!

I'm bound through family relations and bonds I take with very few people surrounding me. Other than that I am spirit, and I don't care about anything else. No aspirations of any kind except their well-being. God is taking care of the world, so I don't feel the need to intervene. Although my old donkey (body) sometimes wishes to lash out at some politician, or getting laid again...

Thanks for bumping this thread, Steve.

Ok glad to hear your disposition. Are you in Eastern or Western Germany? I really liked the writings of Herman Hesse and read most his books at one time, even wrote a song because I liked the book ‘Demian’ so much.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Yes I liked the Glass bead game also; Magister Ludhi. But Narcissis and Goldman, Steppenwolf , Demian  and Sidhartha live on in my memory. Looking back on that period of life; I absorbed myself in those novels like they were my vicarious reality at the time. Later in life I seemed to live out some of those realities. It shows how much that environment can influence you. I also lived in a monastery for 6 years. Can you swim in the Baltic Sea? I read Demian several times.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

We are about 42 degrees latitude. Germany 52 degrees and Lake Superior 47 degrees. I wouldn’t want to be in the water of Lake Superior very long! Brrrr!

But that Baltic looks like population saturation, from the photo above.
