Saturday and Yoga School

Saturday started with 6:30 a.m. Yoga for an hour and a half. Long, held postures, slow meditative breathing, many pauses between to reflect on the place that we are at. Very intense but in a good way. I keep finding myself dropping deep into meditation and not even knowing how I got into the posture I am in. The group is filled with fine, fun people all learning and sharing. There are around 50 participants and 12 staff.
Here are lecture notes. Not all are from Gurudev. I will try to paraphrase some of what the Guru says, but it is not verbatim.
General lecture notes not from Gurudev-
'Recognize your participation in imaginary problems'
'Learn the process that is causing problems, and dismantle it'
Maslow-'If you want to change a person, you have to change their awareness about themselves'
'Many people are busy redecorating their prison cells, rather than plotting their escape'
'There is no where to go and nothing to change'
'Traffic is sitting in a comfortable chair, listening to music, and watching scenery go by.'
Yoga= P.I.T.T./ P=purification I=integration T=transformation T=Transcendence
Change is Willful, conflicting, externally imposed
Transformation is spontaneous, effortless, organic
Gurudev Sat/Sunday-(of course I can not even come close to his exact words or what it feels like to hear him live)
'We are asking for love, but reflecting love' 'Body mind yoga is not yoga' 'anything you expect to get from an outside source it is unavailable, what you want, you have to provide. If you want love, be loving' 'Choiceless Awareness, using your super consiousness to disconnect from your past and be in the present'
'All change begins with acceptance' 'Fighting the cause is not the effect' 'We are heavily hypnotized by cultural conditioning into believing that we can get what we want by changing external situations'
'All expectations are waiting to be frustrated'
Sunday: 'consciousness is the ultimate rebellion against an adopted reality'
'Ego is using energy in a self abusive way' 'When you nurture yourself and care for yourself, what you need will appear' 'have a beginners mind''Life happens in the present only, not the graveyard of the past' 'When "I am" God is not'
That is about it for now, so much of what I am receiving is to profound to put into words. If you find yourself coming to Florida check out Amrit Institute.
I will share more when time allows, have to go study now.
