You have since deleted it. I totally get where you're coming from and laughed out loud with acknowledgement at how ridiculous it can all be. Yoga is not a fad for a lot of us though. It's helped me find myself in a way that has benefited my life and the relationships I have with people around me, even to the point it has helped them. Each to their own though and all opinions are valid. You take what you want from each and every experience and make it your own. Good going with finishing your thesis!! That's awesome. I can't wait 'til I get to that point with my own studies. I hope you don't stop blogging because I just found you! :-) Hey hon, I just came across your blog via Nadine and read your latest post on my RSS feed. You have since deleted it.

Copying it here just in case you don't get back there to see it:) Hi, Amanda. Glad you mentioned the point about the Yoga Sutra obsession. I like the Yoga Sutra. I've read many different versions and will read many more. But I can only read the Yoga Sutra with pleasure and comprehension because I'm even more familiar with the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads. Patanjali doesn't mention either of these, but I'm guessing that's because his students were already steeped in these basics. He know what they needed was more method, rigor, and stucture, not more philosophizing. So that's what he gave them. The spiritual underpinnings were simply assumed. In any case, I love the combination of the three, and they all have their special role, as I try to get a handle on in: What Is It That Brings Us Happiness? http://yogademystified.com/what-is-it-that-brings-us-happiness/ Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

This post and other recent ones really brought back how I was feeling during the last few months I worked on my dissertation. I wanted to leave behind everything associated with it when I was done, and that is exactly what I did. This was a time barely into the digital age. I didn't know better. Now I wish I had kept those damn disk thingies with the electronic files on them. Namaste' Scott Wow.

As far as this blog goes, you must do what is right for you. But I really, really hope you don't close the blog down. As Svasti said, blogs can evolve.

In the meantime, I'll have plenty to do catching up on your past writing. I'm here because you kept popping up on lots of other Yoga sites' recommended lists, so I just had to come over and see for myself. Your work sounds very interesting indeed. I've never been to Australia, but, you know, some of those National Geographic articles are so evocative that I kind of feel like I have. And there was the extensive coverage of everything Australia during the Olympics aways back. Oh, and I just remembered--Globetrekker--great British offbeat travel show has been all over Australia and me with them. I’ve just arrived at your blog, so I hope you don’t end too fast!

I have no doubt about that. If you decide to end this blog, I think that would be sad. Blogs can evolve. My original purpose for my blog has certainly adapted and changed over time. It can have more than one purpose, but of course, that's all up to you. The thesis will be a success. I have no doubt about that.
