I agree that perhaps those with less pitty those with more, when they themselves are aware of it. There are also those in those conditions who don't see the light yet and still believe their life is about hopeless struggle to survive, and I could see it in the energy projected in their faces when last year I took a trip to the Peru-Ecuador border and saw how some, not all, some lived without hope, life couldn't get any worse for them, as if they felt GOD had forgotten them, because we certainly have, how can there be in the same country - planet even existance those who eat beef everyday and as I saw, kids barefoot cover in dirt walking on mud, garbage and overflown sewage all combined on their dirt streets, that probably go through entire days with out food either, and therefore think their only way to survive is through crime since the system doesn't lend them a hand or even care. It was such a shock for my ego, so used to the material abundance in America and that's when spirit took over, my ego was angry at those in power and wanted revenge, but my soul knew, that hasn't solved anything. From history alone we should know better, after so many wars since we populated the earth that only created more resentment and more war in the end. The solution to me now is to make those people aware of the reality of life, hopelessness and depression are only states of mind; which will only manifest situations that satisfy that state, it is what creation does for you, recreate for you what's already within you as embrio GODS we must know this to CO-CREATE a world of love. A world of ONENESS. ONE HEART. Now, who's going to tell those people all this we know because we've read about Yoga or Budism, and really take the step and spend time and money to travel and enlighten people, who's ready to walk on filth and put up with the stenge for a higher cause. These people don't have access to Yoga books or even internet, should I wait until Jesus returns. I personally think I don't have to if I can do my part, maybe this will awaken other hearts to help too. I have a GOD given talent of art, I dream of applying all these tools given to me for change, I'm willing to paint murals in such areas to inspire the hopeless, the same concept of Heavenletters on walls. It worked for us, only they don't have the luxury we take for granted of the internet, paint I don't care, GOD made me fortunate enought to be in America for a reason, not for my own personal leisure but for this I think, and if I have the means to I will without looking back, because I've already given my mind permission to erase all value previouly given to any material even money, this really works I now have more than when I wanted to have more. In every sense of the word. LOVE EVERYONE PEDRO GALVEZ "YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD". (Gandhi) Great words from everyone.

Yes so well said and each is happy within. Do I want more? No! I have all I need, some people might feel sorry for me because they have more earthly goods but I am happy with all I have. If the intension is there you will get all the help from the universe, Which is within each of us, to become centered. I hum (cannot sing or hold a tune ) daily the song from Mario Lanza "I walk with GOD from this day on" that is the only words I remember. and I feel happy and fulfilled. Let the LIGHT flow out from within and all will be Fine. Thank you All. Love Light and happiness. Jack Dear all.

Thanks ONE !!! Oh ONE what an incredibly fabulous understanding of Yoga, you’ve articulated so eloquently for us - it captures the essence of the reaching to the point of Union with God “a knowingness that is beyond faith”

I shall be asking myself during my day “after all that, are you ready for Yoga” it will remind me to remember the centre - be in the centre.

Thanks ONE !!!

There are so many different kinds. And some do seem to have a fast pace. I prefer the slow restful kind. Yoga in the U.S. is good for exercise AND for spiritual development as well. It's just the spiritual side doesn't seem to be mentioned much in U.S. Thanks for all you do on behalf of Heaven, Kirt. Dearest Kirt,

You're speaking like an advanced master who's vibrating on another level. Carol - I like your form of yoga ... I can smile! :) Gloria - thanks for clarifying that yoga has a different meaning here in the US. After reading One's post I was geared for killing two birds with one stone by using yoga to get in shape AND get closer to God. Now yoga seems too hard. Maybe I'll just kick back on the couch and have a beer. :) Wow One - wonderful entry! You’re speaking like an advanced master who’s vibrating on another level.

What more could be added, and then comes along another facet of the diamond. That is a great Yoga pose you mention. Beautiful! I had to go to Amazon to check if A Fine Balance is the book I referred to, and, yes, it is. Very powerful beautiful book. Also very painful. It was so devastating that I almost wish I had never read it, know what I mean? Nevertheless, through all the terrible unjust things the uncle and nephew went through, they came shining through it all, didn't they, Carol? Dear Carol,

We all find ourselves, as they say in 12-Step groups, "restless, irritable and discontent" at times, and if we stop and become quiet and honest with ourselves it's usually because we've been living life trying to fill ourselves from the outside, when we have it all already in the "centre." I like this quote from Conversations with God: "Go within or go without." This topic has been a great reminder. The busy-ness of life can begin to erode one's peace, and I must take the time to go within. Also, about yoga, I heard recently that the most important yoga "pose" is a smile. I liked that. Gloria, was the book you talked about "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry? An absolutely wonderful book, an Oprah's Book Club selection a few years back. Much love, Carol What a great topic!

Where did this come from? It must have come from the centre of you. Certain lines and phrases haunt me. Reading what you wrote made me feel like I was a guitar, and the words you wrote were strings of me you plucked. They were already my strings, but you plucked them. Very powerful. The strings keep vibrating. They may never stop. The line that stands out for me above all is: "After all that, are you ready for Yoga." I understand that Yoga has a deeper meaning than how it is commonly used in U.S. It is more than exercise and techniques. Yoga means Union, and, of course, Union with God. This is a classic line: "After all that, are you ready for Yoga." If I went to hear a great speaker, see a play of Shakespeare’s, watch a great movie, have a deep conversation, read a great treatise, play a fabulous tennis game, no matter how wonderful something might be, afterwards, all I could do is to turn to someone near me and say (or say to myself): "After all that, are you ready for Yoga?" It is like that is the only thing that is left to say and the only thing that matters to say. I do not know of another line that equals it. A few of the other phrases that stood out for me are: “…a knowingness that is beyond faith…� “…offer the playing and the experience to God.� “One by one, they begin to let go of the things that were picked up during the journey. The fortunate ones, traveled light and don't have much to discard. Travel light!� “All life is seeking.� “Totyka did not have his heavy intellect to lug around like the rest of the disciples. In likeliness those with less may pity those with more.� “Those who travel light are the happiest of them all.� “Let go of everything, and everything will be yours.� One, to our Oneness! One, you have written one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read, one of the most beautiful things ever written, I think. Where did this come from? It must have come from the centre of you.
