what are you reading?

idiot's guide to hinduism

 

I'm now reading 'Restoration' by Rose Tremain.

During the winter holidays, I've read:
malcolm bradbury, the history man
as byatt, possession
aldous huxley, ape and essence
kazuo ishiguro, never let me go
ian mcewan, saturday


I still have on my list 'Midnight Children' by Salman Rushdie.

 

autobiography of a yogi

 

I am connected to his disciple, you are connected to me, you are connected to all them, etc.

 

I wonder how much he actually learned.

I wish I could have communicated with Sri Yukestwar, or Yoganada.

I would say even Babaji himself, but I sincerely doubt that would ever happen.

I remember you saying that you met one of his disciples. Is his Fellowship of Self-Realization still up and running?

 

Ha

There are many, and yes, my guru is alive and well.

sahasrara, neo.

We are all guru.

 

I just got autobiography of a yogi on the recommendation of relayer. I will begin it soon.

 

now i'm too curious

*pops*

 

He is your guru?

After reading this book, I am actively seeking one that I know I will never find.

What does sahasrara mean, it sounds beautiful on the tip of the tongue, such passionate energy

 

I saw when you asked him about it, and was wondering if you had followed through on obtaining it.

I'm glad you got the book, and I know you will enjoy it.

 

sahasrara is your crown, google image search that word, please.
haha
here, watch this:



everyone is their own best guru
everyone you meet along the path is you

sahasrara, when open, reveals to you this divine nature.

every question you ask is answered immediately, without words, in samadhi.

om

 

gee you are you

 

THE
1,000 petaled lotus
blooms up; with care
My hair is everywhere

 

"watch this." i love it.

everything i have ever admired or loved in another person or thing is truly the essence of my being.....

 

Currently a collection of works of Thomas Paine

 

The art of murder, I'm like on page 128. It's a great book.

 

Going through both PIHKAL and TIHKAL by the Shulgin's.
The Gay Science by Nietzsche
General Chemistry by Linus Pauling

and a few other books, I cant remember what I've picked up latley. I pretty much read every book I own in my weird order.
Autobiography Of A Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda is only second to The Holy Science by Sri Yukteswar. But, Holy Science is a bit too much for the majority of people, what needs to be understood in that book comes in waves that are really hard to ride. Even most followers of Yogananda, of which I am not one by the way, argue about what is meant on nearly every topic he covers, and the book is less than 100 pages. I highly suggest it but, its not something you can just blow through and form an opinion on. If you dont dedicate your life to approaching the transcendental side of consciousness, it wont make any sense. The way he breaks physical reality down like peeling an onion is just nuts.

 

I just read Candy Girl by Diablo Cody

and Im starting Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins

 

I'm re-reading The Brothers Karamazov since I have never read it in English.

...then I'm gonna start reading some buddhist book a friend wants me to read.
