CORRECTED EMAIL: Intro to Bhakti Yoga Workshop
|
Greetings Reader, Well, the law of averages says that once in a while, the email app won't work. And so it went. Sorry - the email you received earlier today wasn't the email I intended to send. What you got was old news. Here's the new news: My next live online workshop will be an introduction to bhakti-yoga, the yoga of devotion. When I first got interested in spirituality and mysticism as a teenager, I never thought about yoga and meditation in a devotional context. That felt too religious. I wasn't looking for religion; I was looking for enlightenment. Alright, well, . . . actually, I was looking for a psychedelic experience that would last more than just 8 hours. And I found it, but it wasn't where I expected it to be. I was interested in philosophy, not theology. It didn't occur to me that there could a practice that seamlessly integrated the two. But that's what bhakti-yoga is: a synthesis of faith and reason that offers us a comprehensive understanding of ourselves, the world, and the source of both. And a set of practices for applying our understanding in a practical way; a way that connects spiritual ideas to real life. What I learned from studying bhakti philosophy blew my mind. Engaging in the practices of bhakti expanded my consciousness. And developing personal relationships in the context of bhakti satisfied my heart. Bhakti-yoga is the yoga of spiritual relationships, but it's neither sentimentalism nor a leap of blind faith; it's a science that invites the practitioner to take a transformative journey from spiritual theory to spiritual experience. I'd love to share my understanding of this spiritual science with you.

Greetings Reader - I started thinking that there must be something beyond this world when I was about 10 years old. By which I don’t just mean beyond planet Earth. I mean beyond the limits of the physical universe. I started thinking that there must be other dimensions of time and space and other states of consciousness that I could learn how to access. Eventually, I realized that there was something just as, if not more, important than being able to access higher states of consciousness:...
Greetings Reader - I met David Hogg, one of the leading voices for generational change in the Democratic Party, at a round-table discussion I attended here in Washington, D.C. this past week. I only spoke with him for a few minutes, just long enough to register my support for his mission, acknowledge its high degree of difficulty, express my gratitude for his efforts, and offer some words of encouragement. What he’s pushing for is a paradigm shift; a new model for how political action and...
