My experiences, thoughts and their expression: mi vida

Want to share with you some news which are super exciting for me. A neighbor - Philippe Lafont, CPT, has asked me to join him in a studio he is opening for his clientele, a clientele with whom he has worked for years now. He wants to have Yoga available for his students, several of whom have asked for it to be part of the new venue. This Saturday Philippe will be putting the final touches to the Studio, and on Sunday he will be hosting an "open house" for his clients, friends and friends-of-friends. He wants to introduce the new location of Fit for Life, and show his guests the capabilities available.

His wife Barbara, had told me that he had not much to live, and that the doctor had prepared her for the inevitable. My friend, my dear Mathew, signaled for us to get closer to him, for there were many people around and he was struggling with his oxygen delivery tubing, and started this story about his life's desire to study and get his PhD, Philosophy, I think. He told about his work towards it, how he longed for it, how he looked f...

Reading material for a class I'll be leading on Group Dynamics this Saturday, I came across a Wikipedia reference of Sri Aurobindo.  More - to comment on his works and his profound significance - at a later time, but for now, the phrase that follows stood out for me: “ We can be absorbed in understanding internally that the life world, and physical world, and mental world, and supramental world are in us and everything, and we are engaged in a process of refining the whole structure through aspiration and receptivity .” Archive 2009-04-10 So, there is more on us, in us, of us...than all the "imperfections and under-developed areas" I have been led to believe, and have made myself believe, given so much external and internal insistence throughout all these years... In addition to having both sides of every quality or characteristic within, i.e., both a "demon and a saint" polarities, capabilities, potential, (experiences...?), Sri Aurobindo takes us to...
