on Satyagraha and Mahatma Gandhi, on occasion of Yoga In Daily Life's Gandhi Jayanti celebration.

We have taken part in a Yoga weekend seminar with Swamiji, from Friday evening until Sunday noon. It was quite interesting. Many energy currents were around. I have experienced a good transmission from Swamiji. My capacity for sitting straight in front of the master without pain or boredom has grown.

I have taken part in an intensive retreat which was held by Jasmuheen in Mantak Chia's Tao Garden in Thailand. Mantak Chia there has a facility, which is a large house the inside of which is totally insulated from any light source at all, which permits dark room therapy to be done there. Our retreat lasted for eleven days in total darkness and with no food except for fresh fruit juices three times a day for those people who desired them, me among them.

"Satsang" is Hindustani and means "community, or gathering, of the truth-seekers". For me, it's a weekly gathering of some ten or twenty yoga disciples, with wife and me among them. We sing spiritual songs in Hindustani, so-called bhajans, watch a video of a yoga lecture, sing a long, heart-felt prayer in Hindustani, and then disperse again, subtly refreshed. Ideally, we don't even talk much, then the magic of Satsang seems to work best.

every Friday from 18:30 on, in Guruji's Ashram, Trubelgasse 17, open to everyone.

Eckhart Tolle, "Eine neue Erde", a period of pure bliss while reading this treasure, i.e. being in the vibration of Mr Tolle

Martin Lowenthal, "Dawning of Clear Light: A Western Approach to Tibetan Dark Retreat Meditation", lovely, earnest, deep

Nicole Schöfmann, "Katzenflüstern. Tierkommunikation und natürliche Heilung für ihre Katze", lovely, tender, spiritual, and I understand tomcat Elvis already better

There are back doors to the spiritual world, for example Stropharia Cubensis. 10g of dried self reared Stropharia Cubensis, a lonely spot in the woods, because trees and other plants share the simple joy of being easier than humans, faith in destiny: bestows the acute awareness of how imagination creates reality, how every reality is preceded by imagination. How easy it is then to be happy and fulfilled, because when everything is made of thought, happy, fulfilling, giving, selfless thinking is all it takes. A wonderful miraculous connectedness follows. Thinking/imagination is also communicating, mind touches mind, so there can be no loneliness. Living is pure bliss. Those who come in through backdoors may not stay forever, even if they liked to, so one leaves again, happy in the knowledge that everything is good. A slight headache the next day, and an inner smile that will last long.

We were at Jasmuheen's weekend seminar. It was wonderful. She says, everything is easy. So what she says might sound flippant were it not for the deep emotion she speaks with, emotion which comes from her experience. I love her.

Am reading "The Field" by Lynn McTaggart. Quote "A substructure underpins the universe that is essentially a recording medium of everything, providing a means for everything to communicate with everything else." I can feel it, too.

Why can't I see the Hindi section?

मै शादी करूंगा तो सिर्फ उर्वशी से, मै तो
आपना फ़ैसला बदल दो श्रीकांत नहीं तो जीवन भर पछताना पड़ेगा
मेरा फ़ैसला अंतिम और अटल है
तुम्हें एक फ़ैसला और, और इसि वक्त करना पड़ेगा

"TimeOut for Sleep" is the CD I do every day. After work, a 45-minute nap restores me for a nice evening program, enables me to meditate, for example, where I would otherwise fall asleep.

"TimeOut for Sleep (CD): Allows you to sequence its nine programmable tracks to support the kind of sleep experience you desire. Each track replicates a specific portion of the normal sleep cycle, and some include verbal guidance to facilitate the sleep pattern you have chosen."

Why can't I see the Hindi section?
मै बहुत प्रसन्न और सौभाग्यशाली हूँ

done the Gateway Voyage, it was lovely. see what we looked like

to the subconscious mind, which is conservative, hemisync always seemed wild. not so much anymore. subconscious mind is also impressionable by simple facts of life, and being with sane and happy, living people who do hemisync impressed subconscious mind a lot.

Embarking on the Gateway Voyage. Meeting previously completely unknown people on a fairly close range. Brrrr. Shudders and positive excitement.

Currently, what holds my interest most at work is a network management project, where I extract inventory data from one documentation database tool, crunch the data through my perl scripts in order to have it populate a rancid installation. The general purpose of this is router configuration version management.

(Shrikanth and Urvashi) श्रीकांत: उर्वशी, तुम मेरे उर में ऐसी बसी हो कि मैं आपने बस में नहीं हूँ
उर्वशी: तो आपने बाप से कहते क्यों नहीं कि मैं उर्वशी से प्यार करूंगा
श्रीकांत: कहते हूँ, मानेंगे नहीं, हमारे तुम्हारे ज़ात का प्रष्ण उठा देंगे
