More of 'I am'.

'Maya' according to the yogic philosophy means illusion.

Going back to the idea of 'I am' or the 'Iamness' of ourselves. We have to ask the question once in a while . . WHO AM I?

I've mentioned the sub-personality model of the psychological reference point of view . This is a model put forward by Robert Asigioli and his psychosynthesis principle. (look it up).

According to that model, which I approve of incidentally, we are made up of many aspects of sub-selves which form a whole. The question is of course whether these aspects are integrated or not!

Anyway back to yoga. If you do yoga regularly which you 'should' be if you know what makes sense. Then you will slowly begin to assert a new model into the mix of these sub-selves, which you could call the yogi. The yogi in fact acts, over an unspecified period of time, as an integrator supreme. The yogi meditates and processes information from a (more or less) relaxed medium. Viewing and synthesising the inner dictates of the varying perspectives of the inner-selve(s).

As time goes by the wisdom of the inner yogi, which has evolved through studying and meditation on some of the deeper issues relating from the mind/body/breath continuum, begins to 'assert' him/herself on the overall discombobulted set of sub-selves which are usually vying for attention in one form or another.

Hari on Tat sat.
