As a yogi, I believe we are all part of God--our Soul is. We like to picture it by everyone being raindrops (our Souls) to eventually merge in ocean (God/Brahman). But we do come back in other bodies, as we believe in reincarnation. Our flesh is what dies; our human form. Our Souls live...

And there are many more people who follow Jesus' teachings, like Dorothy Day did. But as the world is, it's rarely reported because most people find people like that boring, foolish, too "goody-goody". Also, many of these people lead very humble lives, so would rather not be spoken about in the...

I just watched a beautiful, beautiful Christian faith film called, “Do You Believe?” (2015) The theme of it shows people who decided to not just believe in God, but also put into practice Jesus' teachings in actions as Jesus says: “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good...

I really don't celebrate Christmas. Instead, I celebrate what is like a combination of Christmas and New Years: Diwali. Diwali (a five-day celebration) is commonly known as the New Year in Hindu culture (and so with me); it's not always celebrated on the same day, but always celebrated on a New...

:) Believe as you wish....My last post on this thread. (now unwatched).

Pretty fantastic. I've been looking for another apt for a few months; it's been either not liking what I saw or thinking it's too expensive, too far away from work, I don't like this, I don't like that.... So God says to me: "Just go by what you want, without thinking of the cost, the distance...

Amy Grant's Christmas music, especially my favorite album (link has samples from her album): https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Album-Amy-Grant/dp/B000V2J5CG/ref=tmm_msc_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1607837166&sr=8-1

I love it when...God's will is exactly what I want to. And that's been happening A LOT lately.

Of course, like with ANY disease or virus. I wouldn't want people with the common cold or flu to be coughing in my face, so I would treat this virus in the same manner.

My belief, fear costs lives too, but unlike the virus, it goes beyond the physical form; fear in some ways effect the soul as well in how the soul lives out in future lives.

For the most part, I agree with what you are saying. What I definitely know is that any time some one or some thing is trying to scare you in any way, shape, or form, that is a huge red flag. The Bible even constantly talks about not being afraid, having faith in God, etc. My faith as a Yogi...

I love that! I think I will investigate to see if any cultures/religions officially do this.

I believe that's the only thing that's real in us: Soul (always was, will, and ever will be). Which is why I believe our true human life age on earth begins at the time of conception, making us already 9 months old in human form when we are "born" in the world. I call my "birthday" age plus 9...

You may be right, as I don't have stats on this, but I did mention chanting being important in Bhakti Yoga as well. Thanks for the comment! :)

OK. For me that comes in time. I'm not one to quickly talk about my personal experiences on a public forum until I feel comfortable enough to share it. Thanks for the explanation.

Great to post long explanations if one has the time. I don't.

I observe the Niyamas in the same was as described in the link: https://www.expressionsofspirit.com/yoga/eight-limbs.htm I was doing a lot of those things anyway, so it's not really challenging to me. I tend to take my faith seriously; either I'm devout or I get out.

In the broadest sense, a couple can still engage in sexual union, but leading to having a better and closer union with God. Everything has to be for the benefit of getting closer to God. This link explains more...

It goes all the way; the objective material is illusion as well. Our Soul is defined as Love--and nothing but Love. God is the SuperSoul. This Love is perfect so we are in our truest, deepest being. Our imperfections in human form is because we forget who we are (the ego taking over), which is...

I don't think this documentary film was mentioned here yet. It is at Amazon Prime and probably other places; I enjoyed watching this documentary. Here is the trailer:
