Reason:
I may be wrong, off base, but I wonder if it’s time for this user to have a bit of a straightening out or a ban?
I suspect he has been here under other user names. But I may be completely wrong. The anger expressed and the manner in which it is levied feels very familiar.

Hi Pandara,
[quote]I am really sorry if you perceive this as an accusation, it was and is not intended to be an accusation.
oh, I was wrong! Well have a look:
- To Sunyuting,
I understand from your other posts that you had a bad experience with two of your yoga teachers and I am truly sorry for that. However, as Tony Tamer (another poster on this Forum) once said, be careful not to cast more shadows of doubt than Light.
But noone is casting shadows of doubt.
I am sure you have learned a lot from this experience and that you can use it to enlighten others in a positive way?
But noone is using their bad experiences to enlighten others in a negatvie way.
We should be careful not to speak from a place of anger and fear
But noone is speaking from a place of anger and fear.
as that does more harm to our Self than actually to others around us.
But noone is trying to harm others around them.
You were just making some contextless smalltalk here, I get it now. Makes sense, since a minute before this contextless little speech you said
Yoga also teach us respect for the paths of others and I think that is important to apply. My partner in life is on a totally different path than mine and neither is better than the other. All paths are equal and no matter how we may judge it, it is always the most appropriate path for the individual.
We think, Pandara, that we have a lot to learn, that we are not even headed in the right direction yet, that we lie to ourselves and others too. I think that we should step away from our vanity and that we should realize and acknowledge who we really are and where we really stand and what we really feel and that we should accept this and work with reality, instead of surpressing ourselves and denying ourselves and pretending to be something more evolved. Because what we are will always sneak through our fassades anyway and it will disgust us away.
Unfortunately, we can’t accept what we are, because we’d think that’d throw us back on our great path of evolution and we really don’t want to start over from the beginning. So we will just see our discerning questions and comments as a momentary disturbance, that we should simply ignore, because we must be walking awesomenesses when we know some stuff about bones and ancient books and how to talk a little pretty. Every now and then we will present ourselves very surpised if we think we suck big time and we will assume that we must be somewhat mislead or sick inside to misjudge us so badly and we will find a few more pretty words to pretend some understanding, tolerance and sympathy of and for and with such spiritual infancy.
All along we will frequently lament how the real Yoga, that we represent, is watered down by us and how sad it makes us, that millions of us are involved with such a wonderful thing Yoga is, but we still make no difference and we still have no impact on society, because all we want is another slice of a lousy pie to cram down our greedy throats to blow up our already overly fat bellies even more.
Oh, how time passes when we’re enjoying ourselves… Now we must go and buy us some chakra-panties, so:
Namaste OM Shanti Hare Rama and a whole lot of loving blessings to us all! :lol:[/quote]
