The secrets of yoga by Osho
Communication is possible only if u have dropped ur fantasy world and the other dropped his fantasy world. Then two beings face each other - and they are not two, because the 'twoness' drops with the world of fantasy. Then they are one.
Soul
True.
But not easy.
This is similar to Osho tarot's Projections.
The man and woman in this card are facing each other, yet they are not able to see each other clearly. Each is projecting an image they have constructed in their minds, covering the real face of the person they are looking at.
All of us can get caught up in projecting movies of our own making onto the situations and people surrounding us. It happens when we are not fully aware of our own expectations, desires and judgments; instead of taking responsibility for them and owning them, we try to attribute them to others. A projection can be devilish or divine, disturbing or comforting, but it is a projection nonetheless--a cloud that prevents us from seeing reality as it is. The only way out is to recognize the game. When you find a judgment arising about another, turn it around: Does what you see in others really belong to you? Is your vision clear, or clouded by what you want to see?

Awesome Sathsang, another ending
Dec 14 eve
What an awesome Sathsang. I felt Sannidi presence right in front of me.
Shambavi was great. Brahmanda chanting was awesome.
Special meditation was great. It was so experiential especially with sannidhi presence.
Cried loads and laughed loads. Amen.
Sadhguru video was spot on.
Sadhguru said the easiest is devotional. But if u can't be, then be razor sharp discrimination so u can have clarity. Or u can be energised, then pump up ur energy. If all the above you can't do, then just serve. Whichever way u can, u can just serve.
Basically summing up "Bhakti, Gnana, Kriya and Karma"
I am devotional by virtue of overwhelming experience from the pumped up energy.
Finally released myself from the Sathsang coordination team. No longer want to be in the term out of fear of losing friendships.
It is okay to be out of the coordination team. I am happy just being my devotional energised self.
Truly glad I can now live with my values.
Sadhguru.
These are the only four realities in your life: body, mind, emotion, and energy. Whatever you wish to do with yourself, it must be on these four levels. Whatever you wish to do, you can only do it with your body, your mind, your emotions or your energy. If you use your emotions and try to reach the ultimate, we call this bhakti yoga. That means the path of devotion. If you use your intelligence and try to reach the ultimate, we call this gnana yoga. That means the path of intelligence. If you use your body, or physical action to reach the ultimate, we call this karma yoga. That means the path of action. If you transform your energies and try to reach the ultimate, we call this kriya yoga. That means internal action.
Kriya yoga - body-breaking sadhana,
Karma yoga - served so many people,
Gnana yoga - expounded so many philosophies,
Bhakti yoga - did so many poojas,
Soul
I am Kriya and Bhakti yoga.
P is Gnana and Karma yoga

Giving back to myself
Dec 14 aft 1
North node in Taurus
For spiritual balance their destiny is to experience the sensual enjoyments of life, to become grounded and to regain a sense of their own earthly substance.
In past lives, they developed a deep enjoyment of the spiritual/psychic senses. Now it is time to develop a deeper awareness of the five physical senses.
When they spend time giving themselves physical rewards and sensual pleasure, they won't need as much from others.
Situation with others that evoke insecurity will occur less frequently when these folks are consistently reinforcing a base of calm inside themselves.
Soul
A good reminder.
my sadhana with hatha yoga a must have
my decaf coffee and dessert time good to have.
hence my facial, massages and pedicure are good to have.
my future partner, good to have.
Amen.
Everything is falling into place.
My lifetime challenge card
The Seven of Hearts
The Seven of Hearts indicates that whatever time this card appears could be marked by many challenges in love and feelings in your close relationships. The Seven of Hearts can manifest as betrayal by those we love. In any case, we will be tested to see just how attached we are to others being a certain way.
Seven, being a highly spiritual number, promises success in love if you try a new approach and adopt a more selfless or unattached attitude. If we can allow others to be who they are and not place so many demands upon them, we not only become more aware of their true personalities, but also we allow ourselves the freedom to be just who we are and experience just how it feels to be free of fear and attachment. Many high spiritual experiences have occurred while a seven was present.
Soul
I now know I am on the right track.
Loving myself the way I wanted to be loved.
Knowing others love language could be different from mine and stopped hoping that they change. Find a comon ground for loving expressions.
Letting others be themselves cos I let myself be me.
Such freedom.
Mmm, now know why my this year challenge card is Queen of spades.
Ruling 2014/2015
Pluto
Queen of Spades
Somehow connected to ur result card you are attempting to develop a sense of mastery from within, a greater level of organisational ability or both. Self mastery comes from inner knowledge and self control. It is knowing u can have everything u want, not by changing the world but by changing yourself.
U will have to work hard this year and possibly doing work that u find somewhat distasteful. Spades are work and the Queen using her work as karma yoga, a tool to purify her tots and emotions.
This is the goal u have set for urself and u must have good reason for why u want this. Keep this uppermost in ur mind as u progress through the year. U will no doubt have to make changes within and outside of urself to achieve this goal.
Affirmation
I develop my capacity to transform my life by changing my beliefs, ideas, and concepts of the world. I become the master of myself.
Result
Nine of Clubs
Much of ur challenges is to let go of outworn ideas, projects, plans or way of communicating. This is a year of completion that may at times seem like disappointing endings.
The Nine of Clubs says that u are completing a major chapter in ur life and it is time to move on to greener pastures.
Be open to spiritual wisdom in all forms, as this will help make change easier.
Affirmation
I complete projects this year and let go of the past. I broaden my understanding by releasing old ways of thinking.

Joseph Campbell - Follow your bliss
Dec 14 aft
http://www.rebellesociety.com/2012/11/09/joseph-campbell-on-the-art-of-being-alive/
Joseph Campbell
I asked Joseph Campbell one day, “Dear Sir, what should I do? I try and try and try to change my wasteland into an oasis, and all I get is a mirage. It looks like water, but it’s not. I’m thirsty, Joseph, damn it.”
He smiled with his eyes:
“The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who’s on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it’s alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.”
Life is a funny lady. She tries to teach you things.
But you can only learn them by doing (or undoing).
“I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive,” Campbell continues.
“I don’t know whether my consciousness is proper consciousness or not; I don’t know whether what I know of my being is my proper being or not; but I do know where my rapture is. So let me hang on to rapture, and that will bring me both my consciousness and my being.”
So dear You in Me in Him, Her, Them, dear Us, put this on your fridge, lest you forget. It’s your heart’s most urgent shopping list.
“Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be….Wherever you are—if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time.”
Soul
Love this.
Thats my quest now.
Just follow my bliss.
Only when I am blissful, I am contented. And when I am contented, nothing matters and I can give sincerely.
In another word, "only when my cup is overflow; the outward flow is natural phenomenon, not forced.
Joseph Campbell
But between soar and soaring, Joseph advises: “Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”
And you’ll be home, no matter where you are.
And it’ll be a new day, everyday.
Soul
Thats my shrine and sadhana.
Thats keep me grounded, keep my joyful and contented.
Thats my home.
Father, ever since I stopped doing the plough back, I am able to feel grateful and blessed everyday. Instead of lamenting of what I don't have, I now feel grateful for what I have.

Savouring my day and feeling blessed
Dec 14
Woke up with heavy menses flow at 5.40 am, went to clean up and plan to sleep. Three months since the flow, so definitely a sign of premenopause. Mom said she stopped at age 48 and then a few years later came for half year and no more thereafter.
In another 6 months I be 48, yea..half century past.
Later, just took shower and did Bhuta Shuddi.
Followed by cat stretch, these days my right elbow is able to support my body. no longer relying so much on my left elbow. Truly can see improvement.
Did a short breathing meditation...and then it is for my Sunday walk.
Walk with mom for awhile, savouring her company. She is getting older, in mid seventies.
Will miss her if she goes..for now just want to enjoy her.
She and I truly good companion for each other.
The trees feels great and the grass looks so lovely and green..their shining coloour is just awesome.
Truly glad to be in the park, savouring the loveliness of nature.
Now at a cafe after shower. Enjoying my muffin and local black coffee..jus yummy.
I am satisfied.
Truly grateful that I can use my time whichever way I want.
If I am attached, then I will have to pander to others wishes...so a blessing that I am not attached.

Lovelanguage
Dec 12 eve
Did my test of the 5 lovelanguage test.
First heard of this from my ex-staff. She gave me the book for my birthday.
Your Scores of 5 lovelanguage
10 Physical Touch
8 Words of Affirmation
7 Quality Time
5 Acts of Service
0 Receiving Gifts
Physical Touch
A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, and thoughtful touches on the arm—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Appropriate and timely touches communicate warmth, safety, and love to you.
Words of Affirmation
Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important— hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. You thrive on hearing kind and encouraging words that build you up.
Quality Time
In Quality Time, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Whether itʼs spending uninterrupted time talking with someone else or doing activities together, you deepen your connection with others through sharing time.
Soul
All true.
Now I know why I was so attached to Z's body experience.
Thats how I show my love..alas for Z's is gift.
But when he was with me, he was too poor to buy me anything.
And I was okay cos thats not how I receive love.
Guess thats why I stayed..I mistaken that his mode of lovelanguage is the same as mine.
And in the final breakup, he couldn't give me the quality time..thats when I exploded.
All the period of resentment comes up.
But no regret...we are not meant to be.
