Ask a Question Close to Home 1 January 1976
Ask a question close to home: narrow the mind from dharana (concentration) through dhyan (contemplation) to samadhi — mastery opens higher consciousness.

2
The mind is very clever 2 January 1976
Respond from the heart, not the mind: give from love without clutching to outcomes; inner revolution, not political fixes, dissolves poverty and the ego.

3
The inside of the inside 3 January 1976
Samyama unfolds gradually as inner flowering: practice in stages, let the mind cease between impressions (nirodh) and drop desire to reach seedless samadhi.

4
Be a seed 4 January 1976
Let the ego die like a seed breaking into the earth: the other shore is here. Be natural, fall into existence, trust life rather than seeking elsewhere.

Piling up the zeros of being 5 January 1976
Why are lizards happy and man not? Drop past and future; live the gap between thoughts, accumulate zeros of being into samadhi, and meet the returning God.

You can't get there from here 6 January 1976
The mind repeats old questions; freedom comes by dropping conditioning and living here-now — dissolve habits, catch the nascent, and let consciousness replace mind.

7
In a cold universe 7 January 1976
God as personal deity must die; yoga demands courageous atheism, self-responsibility and samyama to know past, future, and the meaning behind sounds.

The rock bottom of no and yes 8 January 1976
Authentic no must be lived to give birth to a true yes, then both dissolve into seedless transcendence; Sartre clings at the rock-bottom of no.

9
Into the fantastic 9 January 1976
Patanjali's yoga as science: through samyama one can perceive images in others' minds and, by samadhi, dissolve ego to reveal the world's unity.

Take the risk 10 January 1976
Drop condemnation and witness life: ego dissolves when you accept and rejoice in yourself; risk, decide, and embrace emptiness to be reborn.
