There is nowhere pressing to get to because there is absolutely nothing wrong with where I am.

Without challenges we would literally wither and die (which also would be perfect).

If all is happening perfectly then all that we are feeling is also perfect, which means if there is something happening that feels like it needs to be changed, then change it.

Natural events have completely destroyed this planet on numerous occasions in the past, and just like them we are a natural event destroying this planet.

It seems to me if I would want to access the special, mysterious, mystical, powerful and most important, I simply need to live my life more fully.

This is what our yoga practice is trying to accomplish. Not white light descending from heaven and engulfing you, not energy released from the base of your spine going up through your crown chakra so you become a human lightening bolt, not a halo floating on top of your head. Simply heightened states of awareness, enlightenment, becoming more and more aware which gives more and more insight, which brings wisdom and gives choice. With that wisdom and choice, we become the masters of our destiny and at peace in our life.

There are certain yoga laws and principles that are, shall we say, less tangible than others. For example, the law of karma. Science has proven what goes up must come down, but that's about as far as it's gone. To believe that for every action, word, and thought, there is an equal consequence takes something more intuitive, more personal; it's more metaphysical.
