The yoga of A Course in Miracles:
one doesn't have to confirm the other, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are an entirely different school of thought than presented by A Course in Miracles -and yet they both promise an awakening, and show me the direct means of this possibility. More so, they simply my life through the joy of their practice, that I live the virtues of yoga's ethics, with breathwork, asanas, and meditation being fundamental to my day, while my forgiveness as offered by the Course keeps me centered in both my heart and peace of mind. I find no conflict between the two.
what I truly love though, is when I catch a glimpse of an eternal truth shared between them. Both are systems that retrain the mind to remember who we really are. To practice both is to look beyond illusions to a reality that resides just beneath perceptions. Patanjali says that "a person and his mind generate the world ' and this could be an exact quite from the Course. The goal of yoga is to still the mind so that I can, at the very least, get a sense of this underlying reality. A Course in Miracles simply says -
forgive the world of its illusions...
and be at home.
that's it, the yoga of A Course in Miracles, forgiveness offered to the the entity of the world. It's with this that I see through illusion, maya, and realize the deep heart connect that exists as my reality. Both yoga and the Course continuously point me towards the very moment of awakening.
it's right now.
and everything's forgiven/
