New Members: It is recommended you read from the beginning of the web
archive, as previous lessons are prerequisite to this one. The first
lesson is, "Why This Discussion?"

Q: Practices are good. I have a rather strange inquiry however; I am
finding that in just reading some of your posts, my state
automatically changes into an almost ecstatic one...excitment! It's
like my very being resonates with what I am reading. Having done some
NLP training, I am aware that anything can trigger any state within a
person depending on their particular make- up, and that words have an
hypnotic effect; but this does feel different. I wonder if can shed
some light on this, from your perspective. I look forward to seeing
what effect your response will have. I am a very hungry being...Hot
for IT!!!

A: Yes, it is amazing how bhakti works. Something in us is quickened
when we are exposed to an expression of truth. It is in us already.
Even just someone's attempt to write down truth can do it. It doesn't
have to be perfect, just in the right direction. The nervous system
knows it when it sees it. A few lessons back I mentioned that part of
the purpose of these lessons is to stimulate bhakti in folks. I hope
that revealing all of this practical knowledge, accumulated and
utilized over a lifetime, will help others be inspired to practice
according to their own inclinations.

Go for it, with prudence of course. Follow your blossoming bhakti
wisely, and you will arrive home straight away. I am honored to be
offering some extra stimulation to what is in you already. You will
find that "IT" is everywhere.

The guru is in you.
