This point will be useful to the discussion: Professor Lorber of Liverpool University that discovered that there are many humans who are walking the earth with very high I.Q.'s yet, they have no brain.

Thank you golfer and Heidi, your sharing is wonderful, thanks

My heart is warmed by both your entries, thank you, thank you :D I have just been searching this site for a post that I read a couple of weeks ago regarding prayer before a meal.

Yes, definitely that is my plan.

Hi Summer, It would be wonderful to have a 'guru' like Sri Yukteswar. I've had two people in my life who have helped me spiritually; One is a good friend of mine who may not be a sage but is certainly more experienced than me. And because I'm a psychotherapist, I have a supervisor. My supervisor is ...

Hello everyone, I have found this book very beneficial and not necessarily for the most typical reasons. Often I read books by authors who share their wisdom to help the reader along their path, but this book has an element in it that is not often discussed or articulated fully. Paramhansa Yogananda...
