Greetings From The Pacific NW

Welcome yogi...I'm new here myself..:peace:

Welcome!

Welcome

Thank you.

I've traveled through MI on a couple of occasions over the years. Nice forests. I live in timber country out here. A coastal rainforest environment. Crashing waves on a stormy ocean. And a 9 month rainy season. I love it.

I grew up in Alabama. Raised as a southern baptist. I saw saw holes in that system when I was a child. Leaving the south was probably the best thing I ever did for my spiritual health.

I embraced yogic practices when I was younger. Minus the religious affiliation. It has enabled me to have a point of view not commonly found in the modern world. I have no religion, so I share the path I used to become as I am.

Ultimately, one must cease the practice, and become a self sustaining flame.

This spiritual independence often conflicts with the status quo. So some will find my opinions concerning religion and politics a bit harsh.

Wouldn't be the first time. But I'm prepared to offer a good reasoning as to the how and why of things. It is always spiritual in nature, but it may reflect differently in the human world.

I have often used Shiva as an avatar. If you understand his nature, you understand my points of view. I'm rather fond of destruction so that new growth can occur.

I have a corrosive effect on what people believe in.

I will always tell you what I see, rather than what I believe.

Harder than it sounds.

You're in good company

Welcome, but enlighten me,...Yogi?

Because I don't subscribe to any religion, and people need a label to stick on me, Yogi is the proper title as yoga was my path in life.

It's the same thing as being called a Catholic or Mormon. It gives people an idea of your thoughts on spirituality.

I identify only with the absolute. There are no deities for me. Nothing in between this human interface and the rest of creation. Needless to say, this makes religion and belief a moot point.

I enjoy tempting people from their caves in the same way a parent tempts their child to walk across the floor for themselves. I want them to walk for themselves.

But until they are freed from their beliefs, they cannot know God. I don't want people to believe what I say. I want to help raise you up to where I am so you can see it for yourself.

No faith required. No religion. No rituals. Just your natural birthright to know who and what you are.

Minus other people's opinions.
