ORIGINS
There are similarities in the belief systems of the Celtic peoples (the first historical occupants of Europe north of the Mediterranean) and the beliefs of the Aryan peoples (settlers of Northern India 6000 years ago who fostered a continuous yogic tradition to the pesent. This in not a coincidence. Their roots in pre-history are from the same ancestors. WEIGHT LOSS THOUGH YOGA, JEWEL IN THE LOTUS page 104.
THE WAY
Each of us has a personal path. The closest thing to ‘sin’ is not to follow that unique way that only you know. Your road map is karma (action), that your spirit can read, as seekers have done through the ages. Joy is the sign you’re on course — follow your bliss.
TARA — Yoga Symbol
YOGA MYTHOLOGY Said to have appeared when the Buddha of Compassion shed a tear overwhelmed by all the suffering he saw humanity experiencing. The tear became Tara who offered to aid in the task of relieving misery. She represents all the positive feminine attributes and feels special empathy towards her sisters. Buddha represented in her feminine form, Tara translates ‘star’ and ‘sister’ from the Sanskrit. Coming in many forms symbolized by different colors signifying emphasis on varying traits, she is always shown with six eyes on different parts of her anatomy. Prominent Goddess of left-hand yoga Tantric practice.

LIGHTNESS OF BEING
Lightness of being is mirrored in the natural world. Solids are dense, rigid and confined in shape, following more rules. Liquids seek their own level and are fluid. Gasses are less dense, volatile, follow the least rules, and they disperse to fill available space. An unselfish motive for following the practice and looking inside and becoming companion to your more subtle, finer self, a more realized being’s awareness is volatile, and fosters greater empathy.
READ THE BOOK
If there is a book that answers the universal questions you are hesitant to even consider because our culture pretends those questions are unanswerable: Who you really are and what you are doing here. The natural purpose of existence and how to live with meaning. The deep underlying truth explaining everything. Wouldn’t you want to read that book?
YOGA REVERES BALANCE
If the earth were a little closer or further away from the sun, if the moon wasn’t balanced in orbit acting as a stabilizer, the planet wouldn’t have been able to foster consciousness in this human form. An intricate balance of hot and cold gasses, liquids and solids form this womb, Mother Earth. WEIGHT LOSS THROUGH YOGA, JEWEL IN THE LOTUS page 44.
HOW THE PYRAMIDS WORK — Esoteric Yoga
The Light Energy Matrix reveals properties common to other energy matrixes. As most easily understood, exemplified by the Sound Energy Matrix—an octave. The seven colors of the spectrum plus the half-notes at the base and top of the range, straddling. The prism separates the essence of the white light into the different wave lengths. The pyramid can be thought of as two prisms, occupying the same space, perpendicular, focusing the mid-range where the yellow sun energy (apogee of the physical) meets the green love energy — the beginning of the Spiritual.

If you have read your WEIGHT LOSS THROUGH YOGA, JEWEL IN THE LOTUS, you know the quality that is the nature of the mid-point of the octave. The pyramid is a perfect machine, with no moving parts, filtering for and focusing this quality in perpetuity.
PHYSICAL BODY
The physical body is the temple of the soul. It houses organs that make it possible for consciousness to exist on the physical plane. It deserves care and respect. The reasons for being on the physical plane are the lessons that can only be learned in this in this material form.
YOGA AND SELF REALIZATION
Just as the term implies, self realization is an operation performed by the ‘self’. There is a human tendency to hope for answers and solutions to life’s big questions from the outside. People look to religions, philosophies, science, teachers, and even alien intervention for answers, often hoping for intervention with solutions provided by others. This is a diversion because all the wisdom and answers are within. It is our duty as individuals to sort our experience in the light radiating from our individual being, to organize it into a system of understanding as personal as each of our unique spirits.
Yoga provides the tools to accomplish this most sacred task. To place your understanding in the hands of others is to forfeit your very soul. Your soul can’t be destroyed, but it can be delayed on its journey to the self realization that will be the joyous expression of your complete self wrapped in unimaginable bliss.
Learn yoga, allowing you to do that most pleasurable task — self realization. This is the only true ‘work’, the fruits of which will empower you personally, those you love, and all humankind.
