Walking that fine line
Reality is vast and ultimately unknowable in it’s entirety. It is happening everywhere throughout the universe all at once at every moment. To perceive the world our minds must make choices about which aspect of reality we will notice. Through yoga one can begin to see how our past effects our perception of the future. This is not inherently a bad thing. If you have burned your hand on a hot stove, it can be helpful to hold that lesson in your mind when cooking. Unfortunately, we often allow our past to inhibit our sense of possibility about our selves and our future. Yoga involves self inquiry. Am I deluded? Am I fooling my self? Am I really seeing the situation without bias?
It’s a fine line to walk. It takes Practice.
