230 From: "yogani99" <yogani99@yahoo.com> Date: Sat Mar 12, 2005 11:05am Subject: Finding a Balance in the AYP Forum yogani99 Offline Send Email Apologies to all who have been uncomfortable with the "open" posting in this new group so far. The goal is to find a balance between openness and the necessary restrictions. And we will. I think everyone should have the opportunity to share their practices and approaches to spiritual development, whatever they may be. That is what the integrative (scientific) process of yoga is about. On the other hand, if it turns to proselytizing, or outright spam, it should (and will) be stopped. The recent offender has been taken care of, as have some others who never even got posted here. Moderating at the moment is set for new members only, combined with a daily monitoring of the postings. So please know that this group is being closely watched, and adjustments will be made going forward as deemed necessary by the majority. What you say here is heard.
More than anyone, I wish to see an ongoing, productive discussion of the AYP practices here. At the same time, everyone should be able to share freely. So I am inclined to try and keep it as open as possible. Be assured that anyone who steps over the line too many times will be limited.
With so many people here, the volume of postings can be daunting. There is the option on the group home page to change your delivery preference to "daily email digest" or "no email - web viewing only." With the latter, the posts can be reviewed selectively on the web fairly quickly, focusing on those of the most interest.
In time, I am sure a balance will evolve, so those who are here can find a good experience, without having the overall discussion limited too much.
Thank you so much to those of you who have come forward and openly discussed your experiences with the AYP practices. It takes courage to do that. You are a divine blessing here, and I think many have been helped already. I encourage more of you to speak up. That is one good way to bring the discussion around more toward AYP. It is your group, and it will go where you take it -- To unshakable inner silence, ecstatic bliss and outpouring divine love, I hope!
To those arriving here who don't know about AYP, it is suggested you take a look at the lessons, starting at the beginning. The various sources are listed on the home page of this group. Most who have read the lessons agree they are pretty good food for thought on the all- important subject of spiritual practices, and the resulting inner awakenings that occur. Whether you are a beginner in yoga, or an old hand, the lessons can be a useful resource.
Best wishes as you proceed on your chosen spiritual path. Enjoy!
The guru is in you.
Yogani
PS -- Due to other commitments, I am rarely able to post here. If you have a pressing question on practice that is not covered in the lessons, or by others here, please email me privately.
