Perhaps they became enlightened and no longer need to talk about anything? 
Love,

no longer needed to talk about it because they had just vanished. |

Hi Gumpi,
thank you so much! Yes I'm o.k. even more than that
I'm currently exactly in that situation.. I posted for 6 months regularly and now I suddenly don't. Hmmm, I really don't know why this is. I experience intense progress, actually I met an exceptionally beautiful woman, and we immediately recognized each other... Miracles all over the place... I tried even to write about it all with the intention to start a new thread about siddhis, but after a few lines I just didn't feel like continuing. The file is still waiting on my desktop.. But I'm still reading the forums, they became so important to me. Actually, after almost every meditation I do some bowing, contemplating the Buddha, Shiva, Shakti, and unconditional love or Sangha, being the most important principles in my life. Sangha is synonymous with AYP Forums in my mind, twice daily...
Love you all,
Roman |

Hey All,
It's funny - I hadn't posted in a *long* time (A year? More?) - and not regularly for close to twice that.
All of a sudden, I felt "drawn" to post // offer resources, again, here at the forum -- and so I did.
Why did I do either of these things?
Thankfully, I have no idea whatsoever.
If there's anything that can "trip" one up (or "out"  ) it's ideas about things - and ideas about those ideas.
It all just kinda flows when we let it.
The trick is to let it.
I'd love to offer insights concerning other people's status, or reasons for not posting ... but these days, oh-so-thankfully, I don't even have any insight into my own!
Having said that -- it's very cool you started this thread, Gumpi.
I used to wonder, too, when people "disappeared" -- the last time I did so wasn't long back; it may well happen again -- who knows? "Y'know"?
In some ways, the path is the same for us all -- in some ways, it's different for each of us.
Since we all end up/start-off in the same place -- "it's all good."
Only the thought-self can dream otherwise.
And, by the way, I wasn't "gone gone" - a while back, I used to go a few days without checking the forum, but the last year or so, I've read at least a "couple-few" posts every day.
And, I've practiced AYP; spinal breathing, deep meditation - every day - along with inner-silence-directed enhancements as they've arisen - and/or let go of them, as they've fulfilled whatever they were about.
And ultimately, it's kinda like anything else connected with all this "yoga" stuff:
What "people" do doesn't really matter; what *you* do -- well, in your own experiencing --- that, my friends, can and does make ALL the difference.
And ... it's good to be home.
And ... it's good to be back here at the forum, as well.
Heart is Where the AUM Is,
Kirtanman |

Notice how Yogani is not a prolific poster?
I think it is part of the enlightenment path.
Words are kinda noisy, like everyone talking, and practices are quiet and peaceful.
People on this enlightenment path like it here and love the people and want more for them.
But personally, I get tired of words sometimes.
We like the connection, and everything people are going through, but what Yoga is really about is inner silence, and there aren't many words that portray that well. Ha!
Words are like a tour of the candy factory where you don't get any samples, but they give you pictures of the candy. |

"Balance, Sparkle, All ..."
Thank You for the kind-warm words! Truly heart-warming ... and wonderful to e-see you all again!
We're all in this together ... and sometimes that connection is experienced more subtly than the direct-communication stuff we're used to on the regular-people plane (example: samyama group meditation) ... and sometimes it *is* experienced "regular people-cally" ... (example: this strange-yet-happy post of mine, right here, right now) .... and all I know is: it's feelin' really good to be back, and to re-connect with everyone here!
"Onward & Inward!*"
And a "shout out" to Cosmic Troll, as well ... I saw/recall your greeting in another thread ... and in case I don't circle back "there" ... I'm saying hey "here".
Peace & Love & Other Fun Stuff,
Kirtanman
*& it's *all* Inward! |

I saw a bumper sticker today:
"I'd rather be here now." |

Hi Kirtanman, lovely to see you back in forum!
(Just to inform/remind you, though, I won't read your posts if they are too long! And I won't buy the argument "I didn't do anything!! Stillness did it"... Hahahaaa! I'll be absolutely certain there's some ego structures left! )
Love, emc |

I'm not a regular poster or a long-time member, but sometime I find that staying constantly on these yoga topics can be too 'stressful' on the mind. I'm sure 'stressful' isn't the right word for the feeling but its something close.
Maybe some members left to 'rest' or maybe they're just getting some intensive lessons from their inner guru. |
