Hey friends
thanks for adding me to the samyama list a couple weeks back. Lately more time has been spent in peace . Some troubling times have been passed through easier as well so thats good. One thing that is nice is surrendering to practice, instead of so much resistance to it, may the frog continue to boil.
anyways, any experiences on adding a name to samyama, like budha or jesus. Main concern is pacing.
thanks,
brother Neil

Hey Brother,
Funny you should ask, I started down this road about two weeks ago. The first time I did it, I was instantaneously hit with an energy/presence and was filled with an amazing bliss all through the next day; honestly, I was surprised at how powerful it was. Felt like something profound had happened that will continue to unfold over time. I have added it a few more times since then (but not with the same fireworks as the first time), but have used it relatively sparingly b/c I wanted to stay on the right side of pacing issues.
Would love to hear your experience if you decide to try it...
Much Love |

well I have done it a few times and have had some experiences outside of meditation, were they related to it? for the most part my aim is to leave the analyzing behind as long as self pacing seems to be ok. 
I hope your unfolding is a nice one
my best to you
brother Neil

No point analyzing something which my limited mind can't possibly fathom Just strapped in enjoying the ride  |

Hey brother Neil, Parallax,
The Appendix of the AYP Samyama book has a sutra that could apply to deities/higher beings. It comes from the Samyama Sutras of Patanjali:
Coronal Light of (name of deity)
for example:
Coronal Light of Christ
Coronal Light of Buddha
etc.
Love
