As an atheist who practices yoga, I always giggle when they talk about chakras and higher plains of perception.
So, humor me: do you have any empirical evidence to support any of these claims?

"The absence of any visual signs of decay in the dead body of Paramahansa Yogananda offers the most extraordinary case in our experience.... No physical disintegration was visible in his body even twenty days after death.... No indication of mold was visible on his skin, and no visible drying up took place in the bodily tissues. This state of perfect preservation of a body is, so far as we know from mortuary annals, an unparalleled one.... No odor of decay emanated from his body at any time...."

Yes for sure and not empirical but scientifical evidence 
how do science works? easy you develop a theory and make set of systematical experiments until you can make it a law or a constant yoga works exactly in the same way.
theory, there is a God that is waiting for you to return home
the experiments are the experiences you have in meditation, I've had them myself and I've been in those places, if you don't believe me maybe you should try it yourself.
Peace, Love, Light and Harmony |

it is ok man, everybody has the right to believe in what they want and defend it, the difference between cultism or fanatism and true faith, is that cultism and fanatism are blind and they are intolerant with others ideas.
I once read that there is a concept like positive doubt, meaning that it is ok to doubt before believing in something until you've experienced it before hand and it worked for you, it is not good to have blind faith in something.
I'm happy that satanism is working for you man if it makes you happy, peaceful and refreshed. 
Respect! |
