I've skipped around a lot in this book, but I just recently started from the beginning, I'm at chap II verse 47, I usually read just a few pages at a time, then try to think about it a while. Sure, sometimes bouncing thoughts and ideas off someone else can bring out even more thoughts and ideas that may not have come up otherwise. We'll try it,
Seems you've travelled and met a lot of devotees along the way, do you often get to discuss with others? Wish I knew more people practicing yoga or kriya that I could run stuff by.
Nomaste2all and prabhatsinha are also kriyabans. We are fortunate to have them with us. You can find their posts throughout the forum. Nomaste works on computers all day so often becomes weary with them but I often send pm's to him to let him know when I have written something on the site he might be interested in. He will be back again. Check out pilgrimages. It was his idea to have this section:

I've been a kriyaban most of my life. i liked the idea of burning off karma that kriya is renowned for. I mean we are supposed to store all the seeds of our karma in our astral spine. That is an awesome idea. But how do you get rid of that karma; kriya. It wasn't till kriya that I really noticed progress in meditation. The iam technique has helped me also and some Buddhist techniques.
There are some very kind people here. They come and go and come back. Some of them i miss very much and truly love. Each soul is a unique spark of God. Each one has it's own beauty and purpose. Perhaps that is why i feel for them and still pray for them.
We are like magnets we can draw more to us. You are helping us with your practice and serving here. Thank you. Jesus said where two or more are gathered there i shall be also and for those who have much will be given and to those who have not even that which they have will be taken away. Let us be magnets of spirituality and start here in the now where we find ourselves!
When I was in my late teens and early twenties I felt very lonely spiritually speaking. But I see now that it was meant that way so I would spend time searching within instead of being with so many people and not doing my spiritual practice. I prayed for friends that would understand me and my search. They have come from out of the wood work over the years. Now we have a larger purpose. It is expanding. Perhaps you also have meditation groups in your area. It is a good way to help your own path. Don't miss chances to see saints when they are in your area or go distances to see them. You will have many more chances for spiritual friends and seekers to get aquainted to.
Yes i do get a chance to discuss with others and I am doing it right this moment because we can seize the blessings when they come or let them slide...... That would be most unfortunate.
Jai Guru Spiritimage I find your interest heart warming and feel God's presence lurking close by.
