This book hurts my brain. sure sure levels of conciousness, and the perceptions of the universe, blah blah all is one... but what should I eat for lunch while I have to exist in this very very real physical plane. . . How do I hold social boundaries, while not hurting another's feelings? How do I chill at a cocktail party with strangers talking about tv show plot lines? . . . What should I feed my cat? So that he too can have energy and lighthearted joy. How do I . . do the day to day? . . I dont like certainty, because every time I stand up and claim "I am sure of x, y, z.." before i sit down the details have changed.. BUT I am certain that 3 hrs of daily meditation, 2 hours of yoga, a 1 hour bath, hours in the kitchen cooking from scratch while i pray over each ingredient, reciting mantras, raising my own chickens, growing my own food, does not lead me anywhere but into debt, stress, and delirium. These books need updating. Life 5,000 years ago was a lot different. . . It is more about the attitude that you bring to your actions, any actions, that create your connection to the ether. #sivasutras #modernspirituality #dothepractice so you can #breakthepractice
