Magic is Illusion. The Goal is Magic. Therefore the Goal is Illusion. Unfortunately and unknowingly, many people seeking “the Path” are following the above logic. The promise of power, wealth and supersensuous abilities entice people to pursue what is called spiritual practice but is really just magic. In just two weekends, you will be a master of this or that; …

I Can’t Accept That….

RohiniPracticing, Reflections, Uncategorized

Acceptance is a word that is used quite a bit in spiritual venues. The problem is that we are to only accept, affirm, receive, welcome, take in the “loving”, the good.

Using the Foursquare Game to Get to Love….

Rohini"Walking Home with Baba", Fourchotomy, Practicing, Reflections, Uncategorized

These last few weeks in class we have been working on a new foursquare that has been a little different. This is the vibration of what we have called love.
