Wecome to the forum honick are you using the AYP system as your practice?
Richard, I still do the same meditation techniques I have always done but without any bhakti towards my former guru, in fact without any ritual. I have been reading AYP boards for a few years and have benefited from the wide open discussions going on. Many sects/cults/groups forbid this type of discussion and keep their adherents in boxes. It is refreshing here.
Thanks to yourself and everyone else for the welcome.
