Guys as a mystic yogi, I find this little book, found in "The Upanishad" writings (Hindu Scripture) very interesting. This book is only a page and a half in english. Talk about a quick read !

So anywho guys, this little book is (if one is interested in the really old yogi stuff and what they were up too) chalk full of interesting clues! If one knows what they are looking for and is actually interested in this stuff.

Try this site.....you will find links to both original and translated text

Dhav I actually do not know I am using the Penguin Classics translation, "The Upanishads". Which is probably out of print Me being old and all.

Rhutobello (God bless his soul) seems to have found the internet connection to this book. Totally too cool!

I was waiting for the "Revelation" topic to slow down before I dipped into this topic. Multitasking is for me abit of a challenge.

What I am contemplating doing is to quote the whole doggone book, a little bit at a time and discussing it in sections. Realitve to the complete yogi experience, this book is not complete. But it does talk about a part of the yogi experience that todays "Yoga/yogis" have no idea about. At least those that are commercial.

This is our challenge guys, "Can something that has to be experienced for it to be understood, be explained to those that have never experienced it? So that they can have a look at the experience."  

With your guys help and interest, I think that it can be done.

Basically what this little book is talking about is, the beginning of the "ascension meditations." Which is actually "Yoga Two". Everything that is being taught today is actually "Yoga One".

And what we are sort of exploring here is whether or not one can skip "Yoga One", and go streight to "Yoga Two". At least the beggining part of it.

Thank you for your interest and future input! Everybody is welcome.

Love!

So lets start here: Paragraph "one", my english version:

This little paragraph is an enormous amount of fun! I do not know what else to say! It basically says that you are stuck here or you are not.

This world of things is what this little book calls the "Transient". And it explores how attachted you are to the "Transient". This world of things starts with possessions. "What do you actually need to feel secure in this world?" And if you actually feel secure in "this world", are you willing to leave it? It is the old getting a rich man/woman into Heaven thing.

I have no idea what is going to happen if we create paradise on earth nobody is going to want to explore Heaven at least for a thousand years! Paradise can get boring you know

Input guys, is welcome relative to this first exploring this first paragraph (or just about anything just stay under the radar of management. They do define reality, which is actually a good idea!). Is all well so far? And not, is actually ok. No problema.

Love you!
