Hey All,
As some of you know (if you've read my related posts), I've been posting some of the lyrics from the band LIVE -- because, unlike many (all?) other rock bands - most ... no, actually ... ALL of LIVE's songs are about "just one thing".
No .... not *that* one thing ........ just .... ONE ..... thing.
Oneness.
Realization.
Enlightenment.
Pure Bliss Consciousness.
Non-Duality.
Advaita.
Jnana.
Yogic Christianity.
Christ Consciousness.
Buddha Nature.
Shivo'ham
Samadhi
Devekut ("Kabbalah Samadhi")
Tantra.
Samadhi.
Yoga.
The Results of AYP.
.... the Reality of ... ONE (thing/reality/etc.)
Here's a link to a brief (3 min.) audio clip, in which "Ed from LIVE" says the same thing many of us are saying about oneness, yoga, Christianity, Self, returning to Christianity with a yogic perspective, etc.
The only difference is: when he said it, he said it to millions - maybe tens of millions - of people.
It's from an interview from February 2008 -- on MTV.
And it's now archived on the Web.
And LIVE has millions of fans.
I find this all quite inspirational --- and just wanted to share it.
Ed from LIVE on Oneness, Self & Christianity - MTV Interview.
Intending The Awakening Of All,
Kirtanman
PS- We've debated the efficacy of certain controversial gurus here in the forum; one who comes to mind right away is the recently Mahasamadhi'd Adi Da Samraj.
And on the one hand - Adi Da was definitely controversial; I actually only know of a handful of people who have considered themselves disciples of Adi Da's - and only one person, who considers Adi Da his guru, in the full sense of the term.
On the other hand ....
It's this guy (Ed from LIVE).

(& my point isn't *anything* for/against Adi Da, or any other guru, per se - my point is: it seems that the power of the guru isn't so much about who the guru "is", or seems to be -- but about whether or not the association with the guru helps to awaken *you* -- and, by extension -- how that awakening manifests in the "world", serving the awakening of all.)
