Kundalini Yoga Class in Costa Mesa, Ca. was delightful tonight! We started our class with releasing tension and double breath chant and meditation a discussion on Chapter 3 , From the Book Dynamic Stillness 1 and a follow up audio of Swamiji discussing the topic in the book. Much of our attention is then taken up by our experiences of the body and its processes. It gets born, it grows up, it ages. It engages in activity and it rests. It gets sick and it feels healthy. It generates children and feels the pain of loss. It is always with us. We get up, we look at it every morning in the mirror, we hit it, we feel it, it complains to us if we dont treat it right. Consequently, we think we have something that we can call my body-me. In fact however, it is not. This is not you that you are sitting in, but just a group of cells. More over, there is nothing truly solid about the body, however much we may be attached to it and however fiercely we may hold onto it. Today, is not composed of the same cells that make it up even recently as yesterday. Rather, it is a composite of individual living organisms that are constantly changing. We are, in other words a highly temporary event. As far as the solar system is concerned, we are of little more importance than the muck under a rock on the floor of the sea. The whole point of Spiritual work is to begin to understand that we are not what we appear to be. As we understand this more and more, we begin to find within ourselves a real and deep connection to the source of all life. When we experience that deeper part of us, the limits that we usually experience begin to dissolve, and the dynamics of the process become increasingly clear to us. The Class ended with a 25 minute meditation... See you next Sunday at the Visions and Dreams Book Store Promplty at 6 pm The next Chapter in Dynamic Stillness....The EGO....page 47 through 51....
