Becoming G*d or Becoming a clear channel
Posted: Saturday, February 8, 2014

Since I was a kid I have heard that God is an all pervading energy imbuing and animating everyone and everything. The meaning of YOGA is reunion. The re-joining the body and mind with the spirit.


The goal of YOGA is to bring our awareness to the present moment. To become conscience in the moment; to focus our awareness and concentrate it. We call this mindfulness.


What if when we concentrate our awareness we are really concentrating God? What if we are concentrating that all-encompassing, all animating energy that we call God? What if the notion of submitting to God or subsuming our will to God is really about becoming a clear channel for this energy of love, enlightenment and creation? What if this is the real meaning of God making us in her image? What if this is the real meaning behind becoming one with ATMAN?


What if the goal of life is to become God; to become a clear channel for God energy? For God light.


Then I guess we say NAMASTE and keep Ommmming.
