Trinity - MAR, 2010
I remember once, as a kid, understanding what the Christian Trinity was and meant. Since then I can't again explain it or understand it, but that knowledge that I once held what it means has been enough for me not to doubt that it has some significance and obviously that other people get it. Now, in Kriya Yoga, in studying Lahiri Mahasayas comments on Patanjalis Yoga Sutras I see the the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is just (and I don't know in what order) allegorical to the Causal, Astoral, and Physical Planes of existence we inhabit.
Gravity - MAR 14, 2010
Yoga the other day. At savasana the teacher said to let gravity take a hold of you or something. that got me thinking. I've always liked this relatively recent Gravity song, maybe by John Mayer, but never really caught the lyrics. Lots of focus in Meditation and reading about how we are all one and connectedness. Then there's the metaphysics and mirror quarks. Seems like Gravity is the simple, known by all, nobody knows how it works, basic example of this. Every bit of mass in the whole universe is undeniably drawn to every other bit of mass in the universe! It's all just one huge glob trying to stay together. This truly requires more investigation. How is this most basic think not understood? It's just labeled as one of the laws of physics and nature, and just left at that? There's the Weak Force, Strong Force, Nuclear Force, Magnetic, Electrical, and Force of Gravity - just throw a name on it and work on what it causes... seems weak. How can pieces of matter at distance from each other, with seemingly no communication or connection or delay at all effect each other?
Tinsel - MAR 10, 2010
Richard K. Morgan used this word a smattering of times, mostly in this way (which as he's British makes sense) and I got the meaning from context and imagery. Then Roy Eugene Davis, when commenting on Lahiri's Kriya Yoga quotes, writes, "...you will give up the tinsel of attachment to the things of material expression." It was at this point I had to look the word up:
In my anti-organized religion way, I obviously find it interesting that tinsel is so closely related to XMas! Nonetheless, it's an interesting and rich word, now basically meaning to me something shinny and distracting, the outermost manifestation of the material world, maybe even so desire-ous that it wholly distracts.
