ॐ नमः शिवाय

Svadhyaya: Continued study of Chapter 13 of “Uddhava Gita Explained” “Becoming a Devotee”. The question of what is God came up repeatedly? Interestingly enough, later I found that question asked by someone in LinkedIn and Michael had answered such: “I won't answer the question but I would have if you had phrased it like this:

What is the difference between you and the Collective Sum-Total Known Creation?

Then my answer would have been this: Difference is that I am a tiny micropart of that Whole Existence much of which I cannot directly perceive but can only surmise upon.”

This is very important. It puts things in perspective. Thus, I am not so sure about God, but I am learning some about the nature of Lord Krishna.

Dedication: Practice was dedicated to Lord Krishna.

Breath Infusion: 40 minutes of Bhastrika. Used new asanas on kneeling position, similar to “pumping” asanas in Michael’s video in hotel, and “created” a couple more (many always insinuate, there is no limit to the asanas available, really), experienced several near black-outs and one where the head filled with golden light.

Meditation: Consisted of about 15 minutes of concentration first on the third eye after activating it with breath, and then on the back of the head. I conducted Pratyahar on the core-self and retrieved to the back of the head observing the head cavity like yesterday. Thoughts drifted by, were observed and let go.

Dream recall: One dream recalled of a neutral nature.
