AcupressureA massaging technique that dates back many centuries, shiatsu massage is also referred to as Zen shiatsu. It is thought that the Japanese developed this form of massage in order to heal physical, emotional, and psychological problems. It is somewhat similar to Chinese acupressure, but rather than needles, it involves the use of the fingers to manipulate the body's fascia by applying pressure using all aspects of the hands.
Haircut and Styling
HighlightsThis is a three hour class, with two hours devoted to massage training. To enhance the massage training, one hour of some enjoyable highlights of partner yoga, circus yoga, and breathing techniques will be intermixed with the massage training. For the massage training part, you are practicing on your 'friend.' It is necessary to show up with a partner. However, each 'pair' can choose whether they want to spend an equal amount of time practicing and then receiving, or, one person can receive the whole two hours while the other person practices the whole time. However, the 'receiver' still needs to participate in the partner yoga!
Day Spa
Moist Heat Therapy► We have temperpedic face cushions on cradles with 12 separate facial supports so the pressure is removed from your cheek bones. It also adjusts higher or lower to your necks comfort.

Shiatsu Massage$$150Randy Howard provides Certified Structural Integration sessions at Shiatsu & Massage Center in Honolulu in sets of ten sessions. Each session costs $150.
Swedish MassageWhere Deep Tissue massage meets Swedish Massage; not too hard, not too strong. The therapist will tailor make the allocation of time as it best suits your needs.
Deep Tissue MassageThis is normally a strong massage, but strong pressure is not the point. The 'point' is to find the knots which are causing your muscles to feel tight, and to use any appropriate technique for easing the 'knot' back into a calm, stress-free state of being. Deep tissue massage is available at our massage center in Honolulu.
Sports MassageThis shares the pain relief goals of Deep Tissue massage, but the modalities used are more specific to your activities. Pre race? Post race? In between a race, or athletic event? Rather than a relaxing massage in which you can rest your mind, for a Sports Massage you will need to participate with the massage. Resistance exercises can enhance pressure point massage, and 'muscle shortening' or therapeutic positioning of your body can promote relaxation. This is a massage, but it includes manipulations and assisted stretching to help you either perform better or recover faster. For sports massage in Honolulu and Waikiki contact us for an appointment.
Hot Stone MassageExtremely effective with thermophore or hot stone therapy. Apply oil before massage to the area, place hot pad or stones on for 5-10 minutes. Come back to area to work deeply.
Couples MassageHow can you have a fantastically fun experience with someone you care about while learning therapeutic relaxation skills?
Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi MassageThe traditional massage of Hawaii. Intention is a foundation for action in Hawaiian Culture. With a Lomi Lomi massage, the therapist first grounds their energy and then focuses on being a conduit for the flow of vital energy, as opposed to having an analytical point of view about how results are achieved. The result is an intuitive deep tissue massage using effective pain relief techniques. This blends faith in the bodies healing process with knowledge of how to facilitate healing. Lomi Lomi massage is available at our Honolulu Massage Center in Waikiki.

Vengeance Feels Empty YKTTW Discussion
|Vengeance Feels Empty
A character who's devoted his/her life to vengeance finds that it doesn't give the hoped-for satisfactionDescription Needs Help Description Needs Help
- Roman: There you go, you got your revenge. How does it feel?
Niko: I don't know how it feels. I'm trying to take it all in.
Roman: This is the moment you've been waiting for for so long, Niko. What do you mean you don't know how you feel?
Niko: I mean I don't know. I feel empty, okay? I feel empty.
--> Grand Theft Auto IVRevenge is pointless! It only leaves you with more anger!The Pharaoh, Yu-Gi-Oh!
Examples:Anime and Manga
- Deliberately subverted in GUN×SWORD. The protagonist is obsessed with taking revenge on the Claw to the detriment of personal connections, but when he finally does take revenge, the somewhat Family-Unfriendly Aesop is "revenge feels great".
- This is the main character trait of Sasuke in Naruto. Initially, his desire was revenge on his brother for killing the rest of his clan. Sasuke eventually pulls it off, but he only feels angrier about it. He moves on to wanting to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village as he finds out his brother's actions were driven by the village's politics. When the village DOES get destroyed, he still feels empty and unfilfulled. He now wants to personally kill anyone who's lived in the village. Sasuke was also originally going to spare his childhood friend Naruto but now has Naruto at the top of his personal hit list, first for repeatedly getting in his way and now for being the village's hero. Note that Sasuke is a unique case of this in the series--a number of other characters have learned to forgive and forget, whereas Sasuke sinks deeper and deeper.
- Subverted in Tiger & Bunny when Barnaby takes revenge on Jake for killing his parents. Instead of feeling empty, he now feels free to live life for himself. Double Subverted when it turns out that Jake wasn't responsible. Barnaby has a Heroic BSOD when he finds out.
- Highly averted in Sin City when characters enact revenge, they often remark how good it feels.
- The Punisher: Yorkie Mitchell meets with Frank, bringing with him the son of a fellow soldier murdered by an Irish terrorist now hiding in New York. In the end, the kid kills his father's murderer, but states he doesn't feel any better for it.
- In The Sandman, after escaping from imprisonment, avenging himself on his captors and regaining his kingdom and his tools, Morpheus goes to Central Park and mopes because he does not feel as satisfied as he thought he would. His older sister snaps him out of it.
- Cell 8 (Swedish crime thriller/Author Tract on capital punishment): One character is desperately waiting for the state to execute a prisoner on Death Row in vengeance for what the prisoner did, so that the character can finally move on. When that finally happens towards the end of the book, he's still not able to move on. and then the real killer reveals that the prisoner was innocent all along.
- The Princess Bride: Once Inigo Montoya has killed his father's killer, Inigo's life is rather empty, although it's not really a lack of satisfaction but rather "That's everything on the to do list. Now what?"
Westly: You'd make a great 'Dread Pirate Roberts'.
- However, in the book, the narration reveals that he loved the sight of the terrified face of the Count's corpse.
- Batman Forever references this trope when Batman tries to persuade Dick Grayson not to pursue his revenge against Two-Face.
- Implied to have happened in the remake of True Grit.
- This is, rather explicitly, the entire point of Oldboy, the second film in the ''Vengeance'' Trilogy. Immediately after successfully completing his massive, 15 year Batman Gambit, the Big Bad blows his brains out.
- In the final scene of the The Sting Hooker, proving Gondorff right, feels this way after beating Lonnegan and remarks vengeance it's not enough. He still cracks a joke: "but it's close!"
- Highly averted in Revenge of the Sith. The newly-enthroned Emperor Palpatine, the Sith mastermind behind the whole Clone War business, seems quite happy about what he did to the Jedi.
- Completely averted in Django Unchained: everyone is vengeful, and everyone enjoys vengeance a lot.
- In Death Sentence, this is how Det. Wallis thinks Nick's revenge spree will end.
- At the end of Take A Thief, the person responsible for Bazie's (Skif's thief-mentor) death is killed by Skif. When Alberich asks, Skif says he's not happy, because "there weren't no justice" -- the man got a quick death, and can't be hauled into court to answer for everything else he was behind.
- The protagonist of Jack Vance's The Demon Princes trains since childhood to avenge his parents deaths and his Doomed Home Town, but after finally taking revenge on all of the titular princes, he realizes he no longer has any purpose in life, and is devastated.
- In Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn novel Hereticus, after the death of the man who killed her father, Medea realizes that her desire for Revenge was really displaced desire to have known her father. (She asks Eisenhorn to tell her about her father).
- The story of Daedalus as told in The Storyteller has this message. After causing the deaths of his son and nephew, Daedalus tried to live a good life, but that was sabotaged by King Minos. Daedalus later takes a terrible revenge on Minos, but in doing so, realizes he's destroyed any chance of happiness/being a good person, and is totally emotionally broken.
- In Lost: Sawyer spent most his adult life tracking down the con man who killed his father. When he finally finds him, he guns the man down in cold blood. Afterwards, though, he still feels empty.
- It happens to Regina in Once Upon a Time, because after what she went through, she wants a revenge which continues whatever happens.
- In the Adventures in Odyssey episode "Waylaid in the Windy City, Part 2" Wit gives a Crowning Moment of Awesome speech to Richard Maxwell about the futility of revenge, focusing on how how pursuing revenge will harm Richard. Keep in mind that this is while Richard has the man who ruined his life at gunpoint.
Don't you understand that when you go out for revenge, you've got to dig two graves! One for the person you're after and one for yourself! Richard, there's no such thing as revenge, not really. It never replaces what you lost. It never restores. It doesn't even satisfy. You're out of the detention center now. You've got you're whole life ahead of you! Now please, give me the gun!
- I just found the quote of that speech:
- The Trope Namer is Grand Theft Auto IV. If at the end of the game you choose to kill Darko (that's what you wanted to do for the whole game), after being asked how he feels, Niko says "empty", as shown in the page quote.
- In Knights of the Old Republic, Carth obsessively focuses on destroying his former mentor, Saul Karath, after Karath defects to the Empire, glasses his home planet, and kills his wife. After Carth and the player kill Karath, Carth admits that it didn't bring him the peace he thought it would.
- In Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Sith Inquisitor finds space pirate Andronikos Revel in the process of tracking down and murdering his mutinous crew. At several times during the story, he misses out on the chance to personally kill his betrayers, and is visibly distraught about this.
- In Mass Effect 2, it is possible to convince Garrus of this through Paragon dialogue during his loyalty mission.
- In Mass Effect 3, Javik the last Prothean and the self-proclaimed avatar of vengeance can be pushed either towards this realization (in which case he despairs and plans to commit suicide after the war) or away from it (letting him start enjoying his life again).
- Maiev Shadowsong of Warcraft3 's expansion pack The Frozen Throne and World of Warcraft; she pursued Illidan Stormrage for a long time, and realised this after she / adventurers (can't remember who) killed Illidan.
- Present to an extent in the Max Payne series. At the end of the first game, Max has completed his Roaring Rampage of Revenge and seems to have achieved a measure of inner peace and satisfaction. By the time of the second game, however, he's wracked with shame and Survivor Guilt, wishing he'd been punished for the events of the first game.
- In Borderlands 2 you can do a sidequest for Sir Hammerlock where he asks you to kill the thresher which tore off his arm. After you do it, he realises that he doesn't feel any better but still considers it a job well done.
- In Fire Emblem Genealogy of Holy War, the protagonist of the second generation Celice feels this way after killing Emperor Alvis, who murdered the former's father. The secret event between Celice and the ghosts of his parents has the latter lecturing the former about this trope.
- Fatal Fury 2: Invoked by Terry, at the conclusion of his rematch with Wulfgang Krauser, when he tells Tony that fighting for revenge leaves only emptiness.
- Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, after Trip kills Well-Intentioned Extremist Pyramid she obviously doesn't feel any satisfaction, and asks Monkey if she did the right thing.
- In the Fantastic Four episode "Behold, A Distant Star", Susan and Johnny's long-lost father Franklin Storm was killed by a Skrull plot. They both want to avenge him by attacking the Skrulls (or to kill the Skrull responsible). By the end of the episode, after the Skrull Emperor gives the team a pardon for saving his daughter from a crossfire between Skrull groups, they asked for the one who killed Franklin. The Emperor sadly points to Morrat, her daughter's lover, who tried to overthrow the Emperor. The team leaves for home, feeling much worse.

BOSTON — The Boston Marathon bombers were headed for New York to blow up their remaining explosives in Times Square when they were intercepted by police in a blazing gunbattle, officials said Thursday.
New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators from his hospital bed that he and his older brother had decided spontaneously last Thursday night to drive to New York and launch an attack. In their stolen SUV they had five pipe bombs and a pressure-cooker explosive like the ones that blew up at the marathon, Kelly said.
The plan fell apart when the Tsarnaev brothers got into a shootout just outside Boston that left Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead, Kelly said.
"We don't know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists had they arrived here from Boston," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. "We're just thankful that we didn't have to find out that answer."
Dzhokhar, 19, is charged with carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and wounded more than 260, and he could get the death penalty.
He was interrogated in his hospital room over a period of 16 hours without being read his constitutional rights. He immediately stopped talking after a magistrate judge and a representative from the U.S. Attorney's office entered the room and gave him his Miranda warning, according to a U.S. law enforcement official and others briefed on the interrogation.
Tamerlan had come under scrutiny from the FBI, the CIA and Russian intelligence well before the Boston attack. The CIA had added Tamerlan's name to a terrorist database 18 months ago, after Russian intelligence flagged him as a possible Muslim radical, said officials close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
That disclosure is certain to raise questions on Capitol Hill over whether the Obama administration missed an opportunity to thwart the Boston attack.
Kelly, citing interrogations carried out by the task force investigating the Boston Marathon attack, said that days after the bombing, the Tsarnaev brothers "planned to travel to Manhattan to detonate their remaining explosives in Times Square."
"They discussed this while driving around in a Mercedes SUV that they hijacked after they shot and killed the officer at MIT," the police commissioner said. "That plan, however, fell apart when they realized that the vehicle they hijacked was low on gas and ordered the driver to stop at a nearby gas station."
The driver escaped and called police, Kelly said. That set off the gunbattle and manhunt that ended a day later with Dzhokhar captured and 26-year-old Tamerlan dead.
A day earlier, Kelly said that Tsarnaev had talked about coming to New York "to party" after the attack and that there wasn't evidence of a plot against the city. But Kelly said a later interview with the suspect turned up the information.
"He was a lot more lucid and gave more detail in the second interrogation," Kelly said. He and the mayor were briefed on the information Wednesday night by the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Bloomberg said there was no evidence New York was still a target. But in a show of force, police cruisers with blinking red lights were lined up in the middle of Times Square on Thursday afternoon, and uniformed officers stood shoulder to shoulder.
In 2010, Times Square was targeted with a car bomb that never went off. Pakistani immigrant Faisal Shahzad had planted a bomb in an SUV, but street vendors noticed smoke and it was disabled. Shahzad was arrested as he tried to leave the country and was sentenced to life in prison.
Meanwhile, the Tsarnaev brothers' father said Thursday that he is leaving Russia for the U.S. in the next day or two, but their mother said she was still thinking it over.
Anzor Tsarnaev has expressed a desire to go to the U.S. to find out what happened with his sons, defend his hospitalized son and, if possible, bring his older son's body back to Russia for burial.
Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, who was charged with shoplifting in the U.S. last summer, said she has been assured by lawyers that she would not be arrested, but was still deciding whether to go.

Danica Patrick disappointed after bumpy Daytona Speedweeks
Feb 25, 2014 at 8:00a ET
For all that went right for Danica Patrick during Daytona Speedweeks last year, about as much went wrong for NASCAR's most popular female in 2014.
A year after rocking the NASCAR world by becoming the first woman to win the pole for the sport's biggest race, Patrick struggled in qualifying -- turning only the 25th best time out of 49 drivers. This disappointment came after losing an engine in the previous day's practice, meaning Patrick would be forced to drop to the back of the grid for the Daytona 500 no matter where she ultimately finished in her Budweiser Duel qualifying race on Thursday.
The second-year fulltime Sprint Cup Series driver secured her place in the Daytona 500 by finishing 14th in her Duel from which the top 15 drivers automatically transferred into Sunday's main event.
But with the Daytona 500 came more trouble for Patrick, who ran competitively before crashing out of the race on Lap 145 when teammate Kevin Harvick moved up the track and clipped Brian Scott, triggering a crash involving nine cars -- with Patrick's No. 10 Chevrolet getting the worst of it by veering straight into the Turn 4 wall.
"What the hell happened?" she vented over her team radio before exiting her wrecked vehicle.
Afterward, the Roscoe, Ill., native was more diplomatic but no less disappointed. After all, only a year earlier, she ran at or near the front for the entire race, and even had a shot to win in the closing laps. This time, she left with a 40th-place finish and a torn-up race car on a day when the highest finishing Stewart-Haas Racing driver was Harvick, in 13th.
"I think more than anything I am just upset that the GoDaddy car felt really good and it was the best car that I had all Speedweeks," Patrick said after exiting the Daytona 500 with 55 laps still remaining. "It seemed like we could catch whoever and it seemed like we could move around, make lanes and just move around and move forward at the end of the day. I felt like everything was going pretty well, so it's just upsetting, you know."
Especially after finishing eighth in the Daytona 500 as a rookie last season.
"It's a bummer, but you know that is the excitement of speedway racing that anything can happen, and it was unfortunate that I was on the short end of the accident," she said. "But that is the kind of thing that happens."
Patrick's Speedweeks began with a wreck in the Sprint Unlimited exhibition race when she suffered heavy damage to her No. 10 Chevrolet in a collision with boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. -- of all people.
Stenhouse, operating with limited visibility after his hood was knocked in from involvement in a multi-car crash on Lap 36, smashed right into Patrick's mostly unscathed car as he attempted to drive away from the wreck. Both were done for the night, but Patrick wasn't upset with her boyfriend.
"He got me 18 tin cans of Godiva dark chocolate for Valentine's Day so I don't know if he's trying to butter me up or get me fat," she said. "I feel like I have probably got enough. If his hood wouldn't have been up and he hadn't had the inability to see, obviously, there would have been more frustration. It was one of those racing things."

The researchers compared the lab mouse strain now used for Generalized Anxiety Disorder testing to a strain of first-generation wild mice born in captivity. The time-frame of the experiment was extended from a few minutes to as long as 45 hours. Though the lab mice appeared more anxious at first, the scientists discovered that the lab mice eventually settle into calm behavior, while the wild mice exhibit consistently more anxious behavior: "In nature, mice must always be on high alert or they will get preyed upon," explains Prof. Golani.
They believe that the current Generalized Anxiety Disorder methodology for animal models should be revised because of three main experimental fallacies: use of the wrong animal, too short a time-frame, and analysis made at the wrong points in the experiment. These prevent the diagnosis of true chronic mal-behavior, they say.
Replicating results
In their Nature Methods article, the researchers call for similar scrutiny of other behavioral animal models. One important criterion is that findings from experiments conducted using an animal model must be replicable in other labs. The lack of replicability is a problem in the field, they note, which is currently insufficiently addressed by complicated and costly efforts to standardize experimental protocols.
Not every experiment needs to be replicated in many labs, sacrificing more animals, time and money, says Prof. Benjamini. "Developing a collaborative database that draws on the different experiments conducted across the globe, as well as using appropriate data mining tools, can yield the needed yardstick to check

CoD App: What is in store for AW?nicedrewishfela May 16, 2014 3:52 PM
First off, I want to express my displeasure with the current Call of Duty App. I have an iPhone 5, safe to say one of the most commonly used devices and IOS out there. As of right now, the App's functionality is significantly limited, and I have found it to be predominantly useless to me. The App STILL doesn't recognize the DLC weapons, and since a DLC weapon is considered my "Most Used", lists that weapon as WEAPON.IW6_DLCWEAP01. I have advised them of this, still no change. My Create a Class still doesn't work (it's never worked well, but at least it used to work somewhat). I can't even scroll through my squad members at this point. And beyond Clan Wars (when the App breaks regularly), I have not found a real use for the App as it currently stands.
So what can we expect moving forward? Do we still even need an App?
I think the App CAN be a good tool, so I'd like to express my thoughts on what I'D like to see in AW's App. Please feel free to agree or disagree with me and tell me your thoughts down below.
First of all... Beachhead Studios needs to go. They have had their chance and they continue to disappoint. The current App is based around Clans and Clan Wars... and yet the App repeatedly crashes during...wait for it... Clan Wars. The incompetence is a pattern, and a new, hungry and competent developer needs to be brought in.
Here is what I think a CoD App should have, in no particular order-
Stat Tracking- Elite was great for this. You could keep track of your past several games, see how you were doing with each weapon, follow challenges. I would often go on Elite after play sessions and see patterns in how I had played that night. I truly believe it helped my game, plus it was just great for seeing my strengths and weaknesses.
Create-A-Class- It is nice to be able to go in and set up a class when not at the box. If added, however, it should work just like it does in game. Players should be able to unlock new items and equip them accordingly, as well as effectively save to the game environment.
Clan Management- I don't run a clan and barely am involved in mine... but important to those who do.
Map Analysis- The MW3 Elite App had a great section with detailed information about each map. It gave detailed maps, and even had video walkthroughs. Would love to see a section that educated players on maps and gamemodes and even effective use of weapons, equipment, and streaks.
Web Based- I miss the ability to use the APP on the Web. Bring back the ability to view the app as a Web Page. While they should be able to create effective and usable Apps for mobile devices, the ability to access via the Web makes the App convenient to all users, and is just plain easier to use than most touch-screen interfaces.
Your thoughts? Did I miss anything?

But I'm still skeptical of the ability of one of us or both of us to get the volume of shots completed in the time the client thinks they'll be completed - he wants to get the shoot done in 6 hours, photographing 75 items each (150 items total).
I just don't get why him hiring a second out photographer is helping here... If you agreed that you could get the 150 pieces done on your own in 6 hours, why throw a monkey wrench into the gears? Unless he only hired you for 75 of them?
Anyway good luck! This sounds like a challenge. Maybe I should come along too

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $2.6 million, up from $2.3 million for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million improvement in cost recovery from our EAP to treat patients with ALS in Italy. This was partially offset by the absence of license income from our agreement with Napo Pharmaceuticals Inc., ("Napo") from which we received a milestone payment in the second quarter of 2007.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $4.7 million or $0.04 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.5 million or $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2007. This $2.2 million increase was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million increase in total expenses as the increase in revenues for the quarter was offset by the increase in net interest expense.
The $2.2 million total increase in expenses was due primarily to a $1.8 million increase in research and development expenses ("R&D Expenses"), a $340,000 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A Expenses"), and the realization of a $54,000 non-cash loss on investments.
The higher R&D Expenses reflected a rise in clinical trial costs this
last quarter as our FOB and IPLEX(TM) programs gained momentum. The
increase in SG&A Expenses was due primarily to increased investor relations
and public relations activity and the loss on investments arises from the

Does RihRih Re-Live Her Breezy Beatdown And Breakup In The "We Found Love" Video???- By Bossip Staff Categories: New Video, News, True or False?
Is Rihanna still using her creative license to milk the most from the Breezy beating? After releasing not one but two songs with Eminem dedicated to domestic violence, then another even more violent song/video ("Man Down") fans are now speculating that Rihanna's "We Found Love" video may draw some inspiration from the incident as well.
Not only did RihRih "hand-pick" this Dudley character, who bears quite the resemblance to young Christopher Maurice, to play her love interest in the video — but we've also seen lots of shots of a fight scene where RihRih flees from a car following a heated argument. Sounds familiar right?
And now she's tweeted this:
Which has us wondering what else she could be so damn emo about? Do you think it's a good idea for RihRih to keep drawing from this experience? Or do you think it's time she left it behind?
Check out more screen shots from the video below:

Dr. Ruth Lynfield, Minnesota's state epidemiologist who took part in the investigation, said, "The fact that we now see emergence of ciprofloxacin resistance in this bacterium is very troubling. This underscores the importance of using antibiotics appropriately, so we don't overuse them."
Lynfield said health officials are worried about a repeat of the experience with gonorrhea, in which antibiotic resistance spread quickly after it first occurred. "We do think that it is related to overuse of antibiotics in the community," she said.
A vaccine against meningitis is available, but it is not effective against all strains of the bacteria, she said.
Antibiotics should be used only against bacterial infections -- not viral infections, including the common cold -- and only when prescribed by a doctor, Lynfield said.
"We all have a role in safeguarding these advanced antibiotics, because we are rapidly losing the tools in our toolbox," she said.

Faulty media_deassign_notify skript created a lot of nbemm processes
I just tested a media_deassign_notify skript. The skript itself was only supposed to create some small output to see if what I actually want to do would work. Unfortunately I forgot to change the rights of the file to be executable. This appears to be a problem for nbemm as it has spawned several new processes during the time that the script had the faulty settings.
Currently there are 28 nbemm processes running where I would expect to see only one. All of those (except the main one of course) have been running for at least an hour now. (After I properly set the permissions no new nbemm processes would appear)
Now, is there a way to deal with this other than restarting NetBackup? It looks like the medias have been properly deassigned (at least I can't find any media that appear to be problematic) but I really don't feel comfortable using a kill command on those processes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In their study, the researchers identified 141,609 patients with high blood pressure in a VA database. Of these 22,595 had no other serious health conditions; 70,098 had conditions that could be related to the high blood pressure (concordant), 12,283 other health conditions not related to high blood pressure (discordant) and 36,633 had both.
Blood pressure was controlled for 12,956 (57.3 percent) of patients with no other health conditions, 45,334 (64.7 percent) of those with concordant or related health conditions and 7,742 (63 percent) of those with other conditions not related to blood pressure. Of those with both concordant and discordant condition, 25,339 or 69.2 percent had blood pressure controlled.
The researchers noted that quality of care increased with the number of other conditions the patient had. In other words, the sicker the patient, the better the care, even after statistically controlling for the numbers of visits with a doctor.
"Our results should be reassuring for policy-makers who have faced crticism that performance measures, public reporting, and pay-for-performance initiatives may penalize health care providers of patients with multiple co-existing chronic conditions," they wrote.

Reaching completion of the toxicology studies on animals, the company expects to initiate Phase I Human Clinical trials process in November 2008.
"Considering the repeated failures in developing a sustainable AIDS vaccine as widely reported in the press, we are very excited with the outstanding preliminary results of our viral challenge using our latest generation mucosal AIDS vaccine and look forward to a lively discussion on these results at the Keystone Conference" said Christian J. F. Rochet, President and CEO of Mymetics Corporation. "Our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Sylvain Fleury will attend the AIDS vaccine conference in South Africa in October and discuss informally our SHIV/AIDS results with other participants. We expect to release the complete results as well as the independent verification of those results at the Keystone Symposia. According to the WHO, it is estimated that there are over 33 million people living with HIV with a further 2.5 million new infections in 2007 alone. There is clearly an urgent need within the global community for an effective prophylactic AIDS vaccine and our results leave hope that the development of such a vaccine is not an impossible task."
Since 2004 Mymetics has pursued and furthered a mucosa approach that focuses on preventing early HIV entry into the human organism during the first minutes or hours following exposure to the HIV virus. Its success is based on proprietary know how and key intellectual property in matters of antigen engineering and vaccine design that has enabled Mymetics to engineer an effective vaccine candidate in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Questions and Answers About Meditation, Yoga, the Spiritual Life, and More
Category: Self-Realization
Do I Need to Believe in Jesus as God?
April 16, 2012
Hello, I am a 21 year old female who has been raised Christian. During my formative years and through High School I had very spiritual experiences included prophetic dreams, speaking in tongues, hearing someone speak in tongues and it then being immediately translated verbatim. I backslid. I am now at a point where I found the same God-presence in Kundalini Yoga/meditation. I am looking for some answers on if I need to believe in Jesus as God, or is there more to this?

Jesus was a great master, one of a number who have lived on this earth. Others include, but are not limited to, masters such as Moses, Buddha, Shankara, Ramakrishna, and Yogananda. It's not that these masters are God, but that they act as clear channels for God into this world. In this way, you can see Jesus as a son of God, rather than the son of God. From time to time, as the need becomes very great, and as a deep soul call goes out from people, that Divine sends one of these great souls into the world to help uplift all those who are receptive.
The goal of all religions and their practices is to experience the Divine Presence. We find as we progress along the spiritual path, our understanding expands as we deepen our practices, and our attunement.
In India there is a term used, "sanaatan dharma," which translates to "the eternal religion." It may be helpful to think of your search as an "eternal" one that continues on as you evolve your understanding. It isn't necessary to leave Jesus behind, but more to expand and deepen your understanding of who he was and what his teachings represent.
Jesus spoke of himself both as the "son of man" and as "the son of God." These are terms that help us in understanding that, as a son of man, he did have a body and a personality and used them to act in this world. When he spoke of himself as "the son of God," he was not referring to his body and personality, but to cosmic and universal states of consciousness that all masters such as he was have attained. It was from this consciousness that he made such statements as "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one cometh unto the Father but by me."
The Divine Presence will come to us in whatever way we find inspiring. All the great masters who come to this earth are channels for this Presence. As much as we attune to the consciousness of a master, using the techniques he brings, then we are able to, as the Bible says, "Be still, and know that I am God."
The Beatitudes, and Spiritual Laws
February 6, 2012
JANICE freebern

Hello. I have two questions:
1. Where might I find information on the "beattitudes"?
2. Where can I find a definitive list of the spiritual laws?
Thank you.
Dear Janice,
Paramhansa Yogananda did comment upon the Beatitudes, and Swami Kriyananda, Ananda's founder and Yogananda's direct disciple, shared his commentary and interpretation in a booklet. This was once in print, and although I don't see it on the Crystal Clarity publisher's website, I did find it here.
As to a "definitive list of the spiritual laws" that's a tall order, indeed!
We think of the Ten Commandments of the Bible, or the Yamas and Niyamas (do's and don'ts) of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and any number of such listings from scriptures or scriptural interpetations down through the ages.
We think also of the Golden Rule, to "do unto others as we would have done unto us," and the two great Biblical commandments: to love God and to love our neighbor as our own Self.
The precepts of Self-realization are beautifully summarized in the book, The Essence of Self-Realization.
All such precepts derive from the essential teaching that we are children of God. That which affirms our identification with the body, ego, and senses should be avoided in favor of seeking God as love, compassion, peace, and wisdom.
The underlying message of Self-realization is that we were created to achieve the permanent realization that we are but sparks of the Infinite Spirit. Non-violence, truth telling, desirelessness, contentment, cleanliness, self-control, service to others, compassion, self-giving, self-study, and seeking the company of saints and like-minded souls, together with prayer and meditation, constitute the path to God.

Mary Mother of Jesus as Explained by Yogananda
October 26, 2011
What was the reason that God picked Mary to be the mother of Jesus ?
Dear JK:
This is going to be a long answer to a short question. There is so much theological confusion behind what you ask that even in a long answer I can only begin to unravel it. For the "rest of the story," I urge you to read Swamiji's book, Revelations of Christ as Proclaimed by Paramhansa Yogananda.
There is much controversy now about the life and teachings of Jesus. Historians, theologians, intellectuals, sociologists, politicians, even novelists are all offering competing theories.
How is the devotee to know what is true and what is mere speculation?
Revelations of Christ gives us the answer: Look to the saints. Only those who share the consciousness of the Masters are qualified to speak with authority.
When Swami Kriyananda was a young disciple, sitting at the feet of his Guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, he was present when Master dictated a revised set of lessons to be sent to the devotees. (Alas, never put into wide circulation.) In the first lesson, Master made this astonishing claim: The three Wisemen who came to visit Jesus in the manger were none other than three of the Masters in our line of Gurus: Babaji, Lahiri Mahashaya, and Sri Yukteswar.
Whether this was an astral visitation, a previous incarnation, or Babaji as he is now descending from the Himalayas, Master didn't explain.
There was, however, some enduring quality to their presence, because Master further explained that during the so-called "lost years of Jesus," he "returned the visit," traveling to India and Tibet to sit at the feet of these same Gurus. There are many traditions in the East that have Jesus visiting there.
Jesus lived only 33 years. Yet all four of the Gospels say nothing at all about 18 of those 33. It is preposterous to imagine that in the time Jesus spent with his disciples the subject never came up or that his biographers would fail to include this critical period of his life.
Self-realized Masters incarnate for no karma of their own, but to show those of us struggling to be realized the path to freedom. Spiritual practice - sadhana - and the relationship with the Guru are critical elements on this path.
Almost every Master demonstrates in his own life how to be both a disciple and a sadhaka. Sometimes there is no apparent Guru, but still there is a deeply devoted, disciplined, focused way of life.
Otherwise, it would be too convenient for disciples to say, "On your path you have to meditate and do austerities, but on our path, we just sit around and know God."
Think how much of Autobiography of a Yogi is about Master's search for his Guru, his years of training with Sri Yukteswar, and his intense effort to meditate and realize God. Yet he was born Self-realized. This wasn't his own karma he was expressing; it was a freely chosen role to show generations to come how to achieve Self-realization.
The life of Jesus was just the same.
Master tells us that when he was 12, Jesus left home and wandered for 18 years in India, learning from the Masters there and doing intense sadhana to set the example, and prepare himself for the mission ahead.
For some centuries after Jesus passed away, this part of his life was included in the Gospels and known by all his disciples. It helped define how they, too, should live if they would fulfill the destiny their Master offered them. "That which I do, ye shall do and greater things," Jesus said.
He promised Self-realization, not merely after death, but while living, as Jesus himself showed.
However, at some point, in Kali Yuga descending (the darkest of the ages on this planet, which reached its nadir at 500 A.D.), the Church began the process of making Jesus more and more "special." Being steeped in the materialistic thinking of Kali Yuga, Church officials - by now more bureaucrats than saints - could no longer understand the true nature of their own Master and set about remaking his image to more closely resemble what they felt it ought to be.
It was at this time that those 18 years were "lost" from the Bible.
Church officials reasoned that it would hurt people's faith to think that Jesus had to undergo a period of training under the guidance of other Masters.
Some argued that it didn't hurt the faith of the disciples who were with Jesus and heard about it directly from him, but that plea fell on deaf ears. And in the end those 18 years were removed.
As Swamiji points out, one proof that they were taken out, rather than omitted by the original writers, is that there is a complete blank where those years are concerned. The officials had the nerve to remove information, but they could not bring themselves to create new facts.
Any biographer would have at least said, "And he grew up and worked in his father's shop."
Instead, there is nothing.
Also removed around this time - 553 A.D., at the Second Council of Constantinople - were all references to reincarnation.
The logic was similarly non-logical: "We need people to buckle down right now. We don't want them to think they have all the time in the world to work things out."
Again, counter arguments fell on deaf ears. Even the Pope at the time, it is believed, opposed the ban. Still it was carried out. Removing reincarnation from the Bible proved a little trickier than the lost years, and some direct references remain. (See p. 311 of The New Path, by Swami Kriyananda.)
Now how does all of this relate to Mary the Mother of Jesus?
You see, what has happened is that by taking out of the "Christian" teachings the concepts of Guru, sadhana, and reincarnation, you have removed the whole idea of Self-realization.
The Church accomplished exactly what it wanted. No longer can the devotee work on his own salvation, now it comes only through Jesus Christ, and - here is the worst part - through the intercession of "His" Church. Rituals, sacraments, blessings, absolutions, etc. were all gradually substituted for the direct connection between God and the devotee which is the heart of Self-realization.
Thus "Christianity" becomes "Churchianity."
It is not when religion becomes "organized" that the damage is done. It is when the institution makes itself essential to the devotee's salvation that true teaching dies.
The other purpose the Church had in doing this, besides strengthening its own position, was to make Jesus ever more unique and special. The teachings of Self-realization say that every soul has the same infinite destiny. That Jesus himself - and all Self-realized Masters before and after him - are souls like us who have completed the journey we are now on.
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect," was not a compliment, it was a commandment.
But if Jesus is unique, as the Catholic Church now tells us he is, then the whole process of Self-realization is moot, in fact, impossible. If Jesus never went through it, obviously none of the rest of us could either. We would have to simply depend on Jesus (and the Church) for our salvation.
And if there is no such thing as reincarnation, and one lifetime would obviously not be long enough to become "perfect, even as our Father in Heaven is perfect," then the meaning of that statement must be other than it seems.
Many translations of the Bible have been amended accordingly; "Be ye therefore good, as your Father in Heaven is good," is but one example.
The Catholic saints who do make it to Self-realization (whatever the Church calls it) are an anomaly.
There is no tradition within present-day Christianity to explain how it happens.
They just appear, are usually fiercely persecuted by the Church, and then canonized by that same Church after they die. They are persecuted, because without an understanding of Self-realization, saints cast doubt on the whole system.
For example, according to the Church, all priests are ordained equally. How do you explain it then, when one priest is obviously more "ordained" than any of the others, i.e. a saint?
Because the Church has no answer to this question they usually try to bury the evidence, sometimes literally, by confining the priest to his cell, or transferring him to some far-off parish where they hope he'll never be heard from again.
Read the life of Padre Pio for a modern day example.
Paramhansa Yogananda called his work "The Second Coming of Christ." He came, he said, because of the request of Jesus to Babaji to restore the original teachings of Jesus, and the original teachings of Krishna (which have also been diluted) and show that in essence they are the same.
The Bhagavad-Gita explains divine incarnations in a more expansive and explicit way. "Whenever virtue declines," the Gita says, "and vice predominates, I, the Infinite Lord take visible form to destroy ignorance and restore dharma."
Now, again, back to the question of Mary.
In his lifetime, Master spoke not only of that incarnation as Paramhansa Yogananda, but of several of his incarnations in the past, including as Arjuna and William the Conqueror.
He also mentioned previous incarnations of other in the line of Gurus: Lahiri Mahasaya had been Kabir and also King Janaka; Babaji had been Krishna; Sri Yukteswar incarnated when Master was William as his closest advisor, Lanfranc.
James J. Lynn, Master's most advanced male disciple, whom he named Rajarshi Janakananda, had been with Master as one of Arjuna's younger brothers. When Master was William, Daya Mata was his daughter; Swami Kriyananda feels he was Henry, one of William's sons. (A fascinating book about William the Conqueror and his son Henry is Two Souls, Four Lives by Catherine Kaivari.)
The list goes on and on. In The New Path, in the chapter "His Last Days," Swamiji describes in thrillingly poetic terms how families of souls form around a great Master, incarnating together again and again "to work out their salvation - not only inwardly on themselves, but by interaction with one another.
"To achieve divine emancipation, it is necessary to spiritualize one's relations with the objective world and with other human beings, as well as with God."
"The stronger the family, spiritually speaking," Swamiji goes on to say, "the greater its attractive pull on new souls that may still be wandering in search of an identity of their own. A family evolves with its individual members; at last it, too, becomes a 'star' in the firmament of humanity, and begins to produce great souls of Self-realization.
"As spiritual 'stars,' such great families become powerful for the general upliftment of mankind... Yogananda's is one such spiritual family. His forms part of a greater spiritual 'nation,' of which Jesus Christ and Sri Krishna (in this age Babaji) are also leaders."
I believe what the Bible tells us, that an angel came to Mary and told her of what was to come.
She would have had the state of consciousness where she could easily commune with angels.
She was not, however, some random, albeit pure-hearted girl who happened to catch the angel's attention. Mary's relationship with Jesus must have been formed many, many incarnations before. She was part of his spiritual family, one of those "great souls of Self-realization" that Swamiji speaks of.
God chose Mary because Mary chose Him.
As we say every week in the Festival of Light, "Your chosen people have always been those of every race and nation who, with deep love, chose Thee." The Festival goes on to lead the congregation in this prayer: "O Lord, with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul, and with all my strength, I choose Thy love, I choose only Thee."
There are also ancient traditions gaining new credibility that say Jesus was part of the Essene community, an enlightened group within Judaism that was still in touch with more uplifted teachings than most Jews practiced at that time.
According to this tradition, the Essenes knew that an avatar was coming and the community had been working together for a long time to prepare for him and the mission that would follow. Part of that tradition is that Mary was trained from a young age for her role as his mother.
Who can say if this is true? Certainly it is apocryphal.
For Mary to play the part she did, she would have to be highly dedicated and evolved before Jesus was born.
Understood this way, Mary is not merely an inspiration and a blessing: she is also an example we can all follow of dedicated service to God, Guru, and mankind.

Discovering the Essence of All Religions
September 21, 2011
Master talked about great saints from all religion. But I never found anywhere Master taking about Mahavira or any other Jain Saints. Was there any special reason for this? In Jainism the main emphasis is on liberation thru meditation and right living. As per Jain principles as far as I heard and read, liberation is not possible without leaving all inner as well as outer belongings and it claims that even Ram and 3 Pandavas became Jain muni and became Siddha. They had to leave even their clothes...
Dear KJ,
You are right, Yogananda taught to revere the saints of all religions, he strongly advocated unity amongst religions, and even called his various temples "Church of All Religions."
Each day, in every group prayer we say at Ananda, we humbly pray to the "saints of all religions."
However, Yogananda concentrated mostly on Christianity and Hinduism, less on Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Taosim, etc.
In the book Conversations With Yogananda, Swami Kriyananda reports the Master's answer to that question:
A visitor, who had read Autobiography of a Yogi, though he wasn't an SRF member, came to converse with the Master. I took notes at their meeting.
"May I ask, out of curiosity," the visitor said, "why, although you call this a 'Church of All Religions,' you place so much emphasis on the Christian religion?"
"Actually," the Master replied, "we place emphasis on two of the world's great religions: Christianity, and Hinduism. We concentrate especially on the teachings, rather than on the religions, of Jesus Christ and of Krishna.
"I do so because that was the wish of Babaji. He and Jesus Christ together sent this mission. They are the first in our line of gurus.
"The wish of them all was expressed to me by Babaji, particularly: to interpret the Christian New Testament, and the Hindu Bhagavad Gita, and thereby to demonstrate the essential oneness of the truths of both religions."
His visitor had, of course, implied something more also: Why didn't the Master teach all religions?
On other occasions the Master answered this question also, though perhaps on the occasion I've described he didn't feel inspired to go more deeply into the matter with this particular person.
To complete his meaning, therefore, I should explain that he said also that his mission was to show the essence of all religions.
It was never his purpose to compare various scriptural passages intellectually, in order to show their similarity.
In other words, he did not teach syncretism. That would have meant merely skimming the surface of truth.
His mission, and that of our line of gurus, was to show the essential oneness of truth itself. It is at their deepest level that all religions are one. For this purpose, it sufficed to show the oneness of only two of the great world religions.
Outwardly, Hinduism and Christianity are very different.
Yet both have produced saints of high spiritual attainment.
To know God is the eternal need of mankind. All people need to understand their need for personal, direct communion with the Lord.
"Self-realization," the Master predicted, "will someday be recognized as the essential truth of every religion in the world."
His prediction referred not to his organization, Self-Realization Fellowship, except insofar as that organization promoted this ideal.
What he was referring to was the eternal principle itself: Self-realization.
This principle is destined, in the present Dwapara Yuga, to become accepted everywhere. The true purpose of religion, regardless of its diverse dogmas and "credos," is union with God, the eternal Self pervading the whole universe.
But, KJ, you might be glad to hear that Yogananda did mention Mahavir in his most famous book, the Autobiography of a Yogi.
In his chapter about Mahatma Gandhi he wrote: "As I was bidding the Mahatma good night, he considerately handed me a bottle of citronella oil. "The Wardha mosquitoes don't know a thing about ahimsa, Swamiji!" he said, laughing.
Yogananda then explains ahimsa in a footnote: Harmlessness; nonviolence; the foundation rock of Gandhi's creed.
The footnote tells how Gandhi was born into a family of strict Jains, who revere ahimsa as the root-virtue.
Jainism, a sect of Hinduism, was founded in the 6th century B.C. by Mahavira, a contemporary of Buddha. Mahavira means "great hero"; may he look down the centuries on his heroic son Gandhi!
Still in his Autobiography, Yogananda recounts his colorful visit to South India, stating: "Near-by stands the world's largest statue, carved out of an immense boulder by the Jains in A.D. 983 to honor the saint Comateswara."
So here you have a second Jain saint to which Yogananda publically paid honor!
About the Jain principles you mention, "meditation and right living" and renunciation: these are universal principles of Self-realization, as Swami Kriyananda explained above: they are part of the essence of all religions.
God bless you to become a Siddha yourself,
Devotion Leads to Reason
July 18, 2011
For Self Realization we hav to reach a stage where our brain is perfect.Does it mean that we have to achieve a level where our intellect becomes strong&does all kinds of reasoning.I sort of hav a lazy attitude toward reasoning.I'm more devotionally inclined.But I realize that some of my friends have better reasoning ability&do math questions quickly.I'm not stupid but I'm not that intelligent either.So in order to perfect my brain should I start using those brain cells which I had been avoiding?
Dear mk,
Reason is only one of many abilities our brains are capable of providing us. Though important, reason is perhaps the least important of the mental abilities we can develop. The most important abilities our minds can provide us are higher awareness and discrimination.
Reason can never be perfect. Reasoning is, in its essence, the process of analyzing bits and pieces of information and weighing and comparing them to each other. Therefore reason, though useful on our journey back to our higher selves, works primarily in the very realm of maya we wish to overcome.Reason requires that we see the world in discreet, separate, non-continuous parts - the illusion of separateness we want to eventually overcome.
Higher awareness and discrimination, on the other hand, see Unity where reason sees disunity, sees the One where reason sees the many. Clarity of mind, expanded awareness, and the wisdom that is discrimination, are the intuitive faculties of the soul flowing through the brain. Reason is more purely of the brain and not so much of the soul.
Moreover, clear reasoning is an inevitable by-product of higher awareness and discrimination. Your devotion will, in the end, prove more effective at acheiving clarity of mind and honing your reasoning abilities than study or school. When the heart is stilled in divine love, the mind becomes still also. When your devotional awareness expands your heart, the mind becomes expanded also. As Sri Yukteswar said, "Divine perception is not incapacitating, it leads to the keenest intelligence."
It is good to be able to reason well. Reasoning abilities are useful as long as we must live in the world. But higher awareness and discrimination are far more useful on our path to God.
Warm regards,

Christ Consciousness is a Universal Concept
June 17, 2011
Can you describe in more detailed manner the CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS that PY talks about.
Is there an analogy in Hinduism to Christ Consciousness?
Dear DP:
It is interesting that you would ask the question in just this way. Perhaps the reason the question arises is because "Christianity," by its very name, and "Christ" as the focus of that religion, seems to have claimed "Christ Consciousness" as its unique property. Jesus didn't do that, but the church that followed has.
In fact, the concept of Christ Consciousness - perhaps more accurately, the fact of Christ Consciousness - transcends Hinduism, Christianity, and every other religion known to man. Christ Consciousness comes first, expressed through a fully Self-realized incarnated person. Religions come later, as an attempt by those of lesser consciousness to bring to a focus divine revelations impossible for them to grasp directly.
Christianity, like most religions, had a specific founder, "Jesus the Christ" - "Christ" being a title, not a name.
Hinduism has no founder, but is periodically renewed by incarnating Masters - each one a "Christ," i.e., a fully Self-realized person. The Master who is known as "Krishna" was, Paramhansa Yogananda explains, "Jayadev the Krishna," the word "Krishna" being the equivalent in that language of the word "Christ." The names and titles together, as you can see, are similar.
To make this point more clearly, Paramhansa Yogananda sometimes wrote the name "Krishna" as "Christna."
The Sanskrit equivalent of "Christ Consciousness" is "Kutastha Chaitanya."
These concepts, then, are as much a part of Hinduism as they are of Christianity. But they are not widely understood in either religion as it is practiced now.
In India, however, there is a deeper understanding of these truths than in the West. All true religions, Indian culture teaches, are expressions of "Sanaatan Dharma," which means "Eternal Truth," or, even more simply, "That Which Is."
In other words, creation itself is a divine expression. All true religions in the world - which is to say God-inspired rather than man-made - include the same understandings. Christ Consciousness is one of them, not merely as an abstraction, but as the goal of all spiritual seeking and, in fact, as the inevitable destiny for all of us.
To understand more about Christ Consciousness as Paramhansa Yogananda explained it, I would suggest looking up that phrase in the index of any and all of his books and books by Swami Kriyananda. The Essence of Self-Realization, as an example, has some wonderful explanations; so does The Essence of the Bhagavad-Gita.

Cosmic Consciousness
May 3, 2011
When one attains nirbikalpa samadhi, it is said they then realize their oneness with God and drop their individual egos. My question is: When thousands all over the world tune into Yogananda and the other masters, can they be with every one of them simultaneously? Are their personalities still intact or are they more of a "force of God" at that point? It seems contradictory to be an individual and yet be omnipresent.
Yes, dear Friend. When a soul achieves cosmic consciousness this is to achieve oneness with Infinity. Just as every atom of creation is a manifestation of God's dream and vibration, so a liberated master can be in contact with as many devotees who seek him simultaneously.
Of course, bear in mind that assuming all those devotees have not yet achieved Oneness, their capacity to tune into the Master is probably very limited. But the vibration of the master is not limited by time and space.
Yes, that's hard for us to understand, but because I do not yet fully understand Einstein's Theory of Relativity doesn't make it less real.
God is omnipresent in all creation, we are told. A soul, a true son of God, who is One with the Father is therefore also capable of being omnipresent according to the will of the Father.
Such a soul does not possess a personality in the way that we do and thus isn't limited in that same way. When incarnate in a physical form, the world of maya imposes certain things so, for example, Yogananda, born in India, grows up and enjoys curries and mangoes, and speaks Bengali. Those are circumstantial but not essential aspects of his "personality."
At the same time even in a body he could enter samadhi at will (which means as the divine within him invites him to do so). Just as we are both human and divine, although generally alternatingly, so too, a master can appear in vision or even physical form when summoned by the pure devotion of a disciple.
I hope this can bring to you some comfort and clarity.

What Is True Knowing?
May 2, 2011
Obejctivity?! Dear friends. I love Yoganandaji. His teachings give me strength. But I doubt we all are objectiv. First off, I've never experienced samadhi or god. Thoughts are creative and powerful, aren't they? One gives his whole life to god. Focusing on HIS IMAGE of god. Then sometime he finds god. But is that real god or his imaginary god? Same with meditation! Where is the objective god behind the notion? Can we really get there by "becoming" something?
Hello Simon,
You are right that we all see life through our own lenses, colored by our expectations, karma, and level of consciousness.
Does that mean that experiences such as samadhi and God-contact might be products of our own imagination, not real at all? I can easily believe that such is the case for many people who say they have had high spiritual experiences. But is it the case for all people, as you suggest?
Yogananda's first American disciple, Dr. Lewis, once asked that same question. Paraphrasing: "I've been visualizing samadhi all these years. How will I know, when I attain it, whether or not it is just a product of my own imagination?"
Yogananda's answer was simple: "You will know, and you will know that you know."
That level of knowing does not come from the conscious or subconscious mind. It does not come from the level of consciousness that asks the question. It is direct, superconscious, intuitive perception. We cannot "prove" such things in the sense that physical science demands proof: showing irrefutable evidence to another person. It is personal, subjective. But that does not mean it is unreal. No, it is, rather, a higher level of reality.
That is why it is so important to follow the guidance of those who we believe have achieved that state. True, we cannot know for certain whether they have achieved it. Our belief is the best we can do. But belief will motivate us to try the experiment for ourselves, and eventually (so the great masters tell us) we will know for certain. But only for ourselves; it won't prove anything to others, except to the extent that they are able to resonate with us. Such is the subtlety of spiritual reality.
And by the way, I am not aware of Yogananda ever speaking of "becoming something." Quite the contrary, he emphasized that we need to stop being something: the little bundle of self-definitions that limit us, that keep us separate from our own God-nature, that keep us from perceiving who and what we really are.
I hope this helps.
