Comments on: Yoga Sutra Study http://rudypeirce.com Yoga with Rudy Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:26:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sarah Meredith http://rudypeirce.com/yogasutra/comment-page-1/#comment-2566 Sarah Meredith Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:17:28 +0000 http://rudypeirce.com/?page_id=346#comment-2566 Thanks Rudy. I really enjoyed your presentation of Chip Hartranft’s discussion of Prakriti and Purusa. It is fun the way you hold on to the concepts and share your amazement at the revelations. I find the distinction of consciousness and pure awareness to be slippery at the same time that it is utterly simple. It is a little like having consciousness turning the focus dial as it tries to capture pure awareness on camera. Always just out of focal range... yet in a way saturating everything and entirely present. The primary concept, that consciousness can evolve to stillness and reflect pure awareness, is so huge that it is no wonder it takes so much practice to even approach it. Looking forward to what comes next. Sarah Meredith (YTT fall 2009) Thanks Rudy. I really enjoyed your presentation of Chip Hartranft’s discussion of Prakriti and Purusa.
