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.

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?

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.
