P/S Flying Squirrel; i do not think any of us r pretending to give SRF's opinions.

who said anything about pretending ?

let me rephrase, does that comment reflect line of thinking that goes with teachings of Yogananda or other spiritual teachings ?

just wondering, you don't have to jump to defense so quickly ! 

Just responding my friend.... i do not ever recall SRF saying that sex was a sin. i do recall SRF emphasising balance. Perhaps u know more about other teachings.

Oness to god....re-connecting w/god...becoming One w/god again....should be souls main objective....until that happens,,,soul will find itself in the same circumstances....again and again and again....lifetime thru lifetime....

Yes We agree. Sometimes these same circumstances r a blessing though because we r brought to others who love us also.... not so bad after all. Just adjustments need to b made.

Loving thoughts...

when a soul is reunited with god....'it' becomes deeply 'rooted in god' again......

god like qualities come forth...the soul learns the Love of god,,,and is then able to share this Love with others.....

the Love of god...contains no jealously....possessiveness.....

it is difficult to Love another while soul consciousness is still in illusion/maya.....

for when in maya and loving another,,,,jealously and possessivness can happen.....those, are the sin....those are the 'things' that can keep soul from god.....

sex itself is not a sin....it is the jealously and possessiveness that is the sin....

until a soul is deeply rooted in god...it has the potential to fall prey to those sins.

Anne your theme is similar in your posts from the past. i certainly have 'things' to work on in life. Jealousy and possessiveness have never seemed to haunt me. Have they been something that u have been working on? i have always felt that if something wasn't meant to b then why b possessive or jealous? Y not b happy for someone's happiness if they r indeed happy? We strive to b kind to others and hope for their highest welfare. If we r jealous and possessive we leave ourselves closed off from love from somewhere and someone else.

this is your opinion ?

or SRF line of thinking ?

Sri Yukteswar said, "Man's conduct is ever unreliable, so long as he is not firmly anchored in the Divine."
In this respect, Yoshi is talking SRF 'code'. As one realizes this, it becomes a universal truth. It may be a long way... but it is true, it seems to me.

thank you namaste,
it is wild to me- how we can make great progress inwards
then with the flip of a switch lose it all, even for a simple reason like- "taking a break"
the fog builds up and as you say... once you begin seeking satisfaction outwards, it's a never ending appetite
very scary how easy it is to be thwarted from overall health.
