Reply 		Prayers apprieciated!
We were told, having the guru come into someone's life is a result of great yearning for liberation, why did I think Yogananda was my guru? @ age 19 I experienced environmental conditioning & learned behavior at Hidden Valley, I started calling PY Master, and had new unshakable opinions/beliefs not based on experience. Intellectual curiosity & fascination with miracles in the autobiography was the initial prompter to this path- not strong yearning. When I did have yearning I only wanted "God" to escape the "pain" thus I went to HV for the first "cycle of dependency" 5 years ago. Now I'm slowly getting out of the impressionable years and deciding to work on a non-dualistic thought process while keeping a good attitude & giving heart to Spirit in ALL. I refuse to feel obligation or guilt from not living up to past choices or "promises" such as a kriya pledge or yama/niyama- it's just engagement & identification with duality of moods according to my concept riddled mind. Please advise me or pray that I find the True Affinity, not be influenced by past belief, & on BEING NOT BECOMING.. JAI JAI JAI
Love, Ki

May I suggest this mudra. Do a handful of kriyas (24), counting by touching thumb to fingertip and on down the index finger stopping on six points: tip (1), top crease at joint (2), fleshy part between joints (3), middle crease at joint (4), fleshy part (5), bottom crease at joint with hand (6). Repeat on middle, ring, and little fingers.

The symbolism of this mudra is the return from individual experience represented by the finger tips, to the common (non dual) source represented by the palm of the hand.

It may be helpful to associate other people in your life with the individual finger tips. For example the guru figure and the student are at base united as one.

Edit: Look at it this way, the non-dual in you has been aching for recognition. The early steps you have described. Don't discount all your previous experience. Kriya is very quick in it's effect compared to other ways of interiorizing. Outer experience is confusing, and by going within the confusion is resolved.

As SRFwalrus is no longer a public board and therefore useless I am deleting this message.
