May I start again?

Yes. I went into blogger silence. At some point I just got tired of "talking."

So I'm back with a quickie.

We are the gatekeepers between the physical and the omnipresent. Our job is to get clear enough to deliver the "message" as one tries to contact the other. When the physical is sending a message or request to the non-physical, if we are clear enough, the message gets through in purer, more accurate form than if we are cloudy or muddled. When the Omnipresent sends a message, if we are clear enough, we can receive it, hear it, trust it, Know it.

just sayin....

Mother may I?

Permission. Interesting concept. What is permission except that we are buying into/reinforcing the thought construct of ownership. "Mine, Yours, Yours, Mine and then Ours"

My body
My breath
My idea
My bicycle
My recipe
My feelings
My etc...

In yoga, when we "give up the fruits of our labor," we start talking about non-attachment. We stop taking credit for how awesome (or how horrible) we think our class went. And ultimately, we start seeing ourselves as not taking credit for much of anything.

"Boy, don't I look pretty/ugly/fat/skinny/overdressed/under-dressed etc..."

Who am I?

Am I what I wear/think/feel/say/do? Or am i "other?"

So when we ask permission, where is that coming from? Politeness, i get it. And I'm not saying to stop asking permission. But I am saying think about it. How do those little habits/social morays/thought constructs keep us attached to duality and separation from our Oneness with the Wholeness.

Maybe May is Permission Month.
Permission to go there?
hmmmmm....  could be interesting.

Let me ask my Self and see what It has to say.

May I introduce...

The graduates of The Art of Transcendence - a Sri Yoga Teacher Training 500 Hr Module! Way to go!

Dress for the job you want, even if you don't know what you are dressing for
Photo shoots by waterfalls rock!

"May"ke it work

Uh huh. Thank you Tim Gun. That's what we do. And that's who we be.
That's the part of us that overcomes obstacles in spite of the odds. In spite of time constraints. In spite of spite.

And that's who we are. Really.

The "Mayne" attraction

I'm thinking riffing on "permissions" might be interesting for May. What do you think? Yes? No? May.... Be?

Maybe we can be. Can be what? Anything. Or just be.

May Day! May Day!

Sri yogis crash gate on enlightenment and remember who the really are! Should be considered armed and dangerous to those who cling to vikalpas (unconscious thought forms, formerly know as saboteurs) and other attachments that keep us stuck in the past and/or fearful of the future!

Note: they may walk amongst you, even though they have not attended a training, wear a sri t-shirt, or have taken a yoga class.

Plus, I wanted a reason to yell May Day. And was given one. Thank you.
