Ah so desu ka.

jnana yoga is not for you. But it may be for other brave souls.


You said it wasn't an invite, but it feels like one because you keep promoting it, lamenting how others aren't involved and stating that it is a pity how it is not for x, y or z people. That's all fine -- I've looked into Yoga. It's interesting, but I made a choice to do other things. Call it fate. Call it karma. I believe everything happens for a reason. That's all I'm saying. I don't want to learn Yoga. I want to learn Tai Chi :) There is a huge opportunity cost in getting "seriously" involved in any one of these disciplines. I don't think it is realistic to maintain a foot in the secular world and do two things seriously. I can barely manage one.

take care please, you seem like a good fellow.


Not offended I'm just wondering how we got onto the topic of wizards. By the way, a true wizard is never offended. Nor is he pleased. He always feels exactly as he means to :)

that may be Doc
but there are 4 types of yoga, please see this article for what I was referring to. Maybe you just were not aware of , so consider yourself further educated and please read it before you go off half cocked making a fool of yourself.

Bruce: What's up with the snarky, insulting attitude! I didn't disrespect you in either of the comments you have replied to. I simply stated the traditional Indian perspective regarding the Eight Paths to Union in classical yoga study, as taught to me by my Indian Guru when I began yoga practice 62 years ago. They are outlined and discussed in detail in Patanjali's benchmark book 'Yoga Aphorisms' from ancient times. Check it out. :)
