As we revel in the crispness of cooler days, feel the lake breeze on our faces, and listen to acorns falling, we reflect on the blessings and abundance of this past year, in all their forms. Truly this path is not just about "learning" or "sharing" these teachings, but living them. Thanks to each of you for giving us this opportunity, and for joining us in the conscious shift that is taking place all over the world. As we give thanks for all we have received through this year's journey, we send blessings of love and light to you and all those connected to you.   Jai bhagwan!

Manifest vs Unmanifest Reality
by Gurudev
 
You can't enhance or diminish what is present; you can only acknowledge and embrace it.  But ego-mind will fight with, run from or attempt to modify what is present. The mind, conditioned by social norms and personal likes and dislikes, lives in dualistic conflicts in service of the self -image.
 

gurudev at shambhala

 
Presence is undivided; choosing for or against is what gives birth to the ego-mind.  Choice separates us from the source of Oneness.  Once your ego chooses for it or against, then you are required to do something.  When you remain the choiceless witness, there remains nothing for you to do. Ego disappears.
 
In the practice of the Posture of Consciousness, the first part is integrative doing, where doing moves towards the non-doing integrative state of being. In the second part, you drop into non-doing presence; you merge into oneness and The Yoga Zone™ appears.
