...intentions... to continue to hold clinic in devotion as church and state cannot be separated from what the tribe philosopher yedeyah told me yesterday... the way of abraham and through his sons 12 tribes...
... in that first generation... and the way of jesus and his 12 disciples... and the companions of the prophet muhammad and the first generation of muslims... to live in tribe... community...
...but don't we have to be part of the world... aren't you?... don't you pay bills and rent and work?... yes... he said... but our work is not about individual success... it is not about me getting ahead... it is about community... about building community... about doing for us... not me... and us being devoted to yeshua... to his service...
...that was it... there's the rub between what i am doing now and the role of community... of bees... ants... devotion... at the moment it is to myself... to me... yoga for me... veganism for me... ayurveda for me... and me offering them as services for you to support me... by me supporting you... but not a we... not an us growing each other... not an us building community... not the devotion...
...church and state is based on roman appropriation of jesus... of the gospel... of the Way... to make the Way part time... to make it so that there are owes you sit and stare at a single preacher... jesus' disciples sat in a circle... the path was circular...
...devotion is embedded in community... in us doing together... being together... Working together... building together... you your folks your kids... me my folks my wife and kids... us all together... Working... not just to be neighbors but despite us... to sacrifice for the One-ness... for the greater good... to live simply... to curb our greeds and desires... hence veganism... hence asana practice... hence carpentry and working together...
...this sun cycle i move into this through integrity... to be my best for You... to build/work in devotion by Working for You... to come together in Love...
...this sun cycle... it's not about me... about my yoga practice and my ayurvedic work and my writings... and my dreams for an ashram... but about us... about us in community through Working together for Compassion for Love... through Working the land... through Working with each other... through non-separation... an aspiration... to Reach High enough...
...how?... why do you do the work that you do?... why do you practice traditional medicine?... to be a medicine man... to be able to heal people... to hold ancient knowledge of healing... to do panchakarmas and be a person who is looked to for/sought for knowledge... to know herbs... to know the body... all selfish...
...this is what i'm realizing... the selfishness in my reasons... what would the Lover want/say/wish desire?... he would seek and want us to be together... he would do medicine not to hold a monopoly on medicine but to share it... to give it away... to Love You... to not be one up on you... to stay humble and learn from you... why should people come to you... because they felt a connection... because their spirit connected... because our spirits met... this is why... because we are in community... to build community... to grow deeper in community... because they are hurt and i have learned some tools that may be able to support them... like soul writing... like fiction... like journaling... like eating and cooking for yourself... to do this and be in community...
...this sun cycle i build community across communities... cross-pollinate immigrant non-immigrant... ethnicities... classes... together... doing this together... through yoga... through conversation... through circular... through spiral... through Being together...
...the yoga system course... yoga is a system... this is a course on learning the system of yoga through a combination of physical practice... asana... breath work... pranayama... devotion... kirtan... satsangh... dharma talks... the prophet... this is a course... the yogi diet... why would people trust me to hold space for this...?... because i share my yoga practice by doing it in public... by youtube and i.g...
...writing through the wound... focusing on a different sense each week to Connect... with the wound... to heal... to transform... why would you trust me to hold space for writing?... because of these pages... because i've published... because of the book...
...healing through foods... developing a charya on eating - through cooking... through pantry building... through veganism... through planting... through connecting with the earth... through gardening... why would folks trust me with this?... because of i.g. youtube... relationships... recipe books...
...because... for all of these... it is about devotion... about us... it will be spaces of collaboration... collaborating with farmers... painters... models... musicians...
...work in devotion will be my guide this sun cycle--- i am working in devotion?... devotion meaning for the greater good...?.. .for community... not for just me and my paycheck... but for our paycheck... for us to work together...in service of the One...
...to so this all with the mantra: laillahailla... laillahaillala... laillahailla... as i step into Being the Lover...
