From Dusk To Dawn

Welcome to our anniversary episode!  We are looking back at 2020 and the year so far, now half over, and taking stock in what our Podcast Finding Harmony is all about.  For us, Yoga is about bringing union and balance to the opposite forces within each moment of pleasure and pain. Many of our episodes seem to deal with examining the point of crises and the resolution in the lives of our yogi friends. Buried within these moments of crisis though is the seed of liberation and from the darkness we find the light. 

In this episode, we (Harmony and Russell) explore mind-altering states of consciousness and how sometimes these lost weekends deeply influence our past perceptions and also our future experiences of consciousness.  Some drug use is mentioned in this episode - parental advisory is recommended.

"Push far enough towards the Void,
Hold fast enough to Quietness,
And of the ten thousand things none but can be worked on by you.
I have beheld them, whither they go back.
See, all things howsoever they flourish
Return to the root from which they grew." - Tao Te Ching (chapter 16)

Russell mentioned just now the autobiography of Malcolm X. In that book, Mr. Shabazz remonstrates his audience not to be titillated by the stories of his wild youth. 

Remember that spiritual evolution is what is important. The Spirit is what is real.
