Fundamentals of Yoga Philosophy course
|
Hi Reader, I typed the phrase "fundamentals of yoga philosophy" into the Google search bar. An AI Overview popped up. The first sentence was, "Yoga philosophy is based on the idea that the mind, body, and spirit are one and inseparable." This isn't just wrong; it's the exact opposite of yoga philosophy's first and most fundamental teaching: the categorical distinction between the spiritual self and the material mind and body. Google's confused simulacrum of intelligence also didn't have much to offer about the relationship between the ancient wisdom of yoga and life in the here and now. Which is the whole point of my course: to give you information about how yoga philosophy expands our view of reality and to illustrate the many ways that we can use this information to make a meaningful difference—in our lives and in the lives of others. Yoga enthusiasts, and especially yoga teachers, want to know how yoga philosophy can help us move through the world from a position of stability, strength, awareness, compassion, and hope for the future—our future and the future of our planet. Which is why I'm offering this course: FUNDAMENTALS OF YOGA PHILOSOPHY Essential Elements of Spiritual Knowledge Live via Zoom on starting this Sunday February 9, 16, and 23 @ 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST All live sessions will be recorded and available for replay Tuition for all 3 sessions: $97

Greetings Reader, I feel grateful. Every day. Maybe it's because I've been lucky and have a lot to be grateful for. Or maybe I'm lucky to be able to feel grateful. Grateful to be lucky, lucky to be grateful . . . whatever: I'm lucky and I'm grateful. Let's leave it at that. My living situation is something I'm especially grateful for. I wake up every morning in a state of disbelief that I live in such a nice place. My amazement might be easier to understand if you knew how close I came to...

Greetings Reader, I don’t remember exactly when I first read Frank Herbert’s epic science fiction novel Dune — mid 70’s or early 80’s? For a couple of weeks it was my constant companion on the New York City subway system. I clearly remember thinking that it would be impossible to make a convincing movie out of it, given the limited special effects capabilities of the time. Early attempts to do so proved me right (IMNSHO). It’s possible now, of course, but If you haven’t seen either of the...
