I'm going to try to write clearly about a few Yoga sutras (1-4) I am studying. It has to do with Oneness and "modifications of the mind-stuff". That is, underneath all the self-identification words we use, we are all indeed one. I began a list of words I use to identify myself (to myself and/or others). What we are getting to is that we are our thoughts. But underneath all of that (ego self), is a self that is at one with others. (Forgive me if this is not clear - I'm still working on clarification and often clarity comes to me with writing.) What you might be interested in is some of the words I wrote to identify myself: woman, mother, grandmother, etc. Then fat, blond (neither of which is true)! tall, teacher, student, organizer, manager, different - different? that one was a surprise. But I realize that I think of myself as being different - I'll have to do a self-inquiry about that today. What do I mean? When and why did I assign that term to me? I know immediately I think of it as a "good" trait. What makes being "different" attractive? Why does "attractive" matter to me? Enough. Now, what photo can I possibly find to go with this writing? (I usually, but not always, select photos after writing and then insert them. Still don't know how to "place" them.)
