Tonight I found Paramahansa Yogananda’s Prayer for Peace posted on the website of the Self Realization Fellowship, the organization he founded. I recorded it on my Sansa (similar to an iPod only cheaper) and took it into the other room for meditation. I find it difficult to meditate in this room due to electromagnetic frequencies from the computer. I went out into the living room and listened to the blessed prayer I’d recorded, then was inspired to chant “Om Shanti” for a time. I highly recommend it as an enlightening heart-love experience that envelops the world. This kind of strong joyful peace-giving emotion of love directed at world leaders, and at every world citizen, can truly make changes in this world.

My fascination with Paramahansa Yogananda is recent. I woke up about two weeks ago with a clear memory of seeing Paramahansa Yogananda in my dream. He approached me twice to say something, I’m not sure what. He uttered a sound, somewhat harshly I thought, and pointed at me forcefully. As I said, it happened twice. I don’t know what he said because my waking mind couldn’t bear it, I guess. But ever since then I’ve been in a rush to gain yogic wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda himself, and from other sources who I may name in another post. I’ve found some amazing spiritual teachers online!

I recall that much earlier in my life I was enthralled by reading a blessed book, The Path of the Masters: The Science of Surat Shabd Yoga The Yoga of the Audible Life Stream. It was given to me by my librarian at a continuation high school I attended. She was a devotee of Sant Mat. She also introduced me to Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse, and invited me to her home for a vegetarian dinner. I’m not sure whether I became vegetarian before or after I met her, but it has been my preference for many years. I remember being seventeen at the time I met her, and seventeen when I became a vegetarian. Maybe she took an interest in me because I told her I intended to be vegetarian, or was starting to be one. (I’m fifty-six now, so you’ll understand why I can’t remember the details. That was thirty-nine years ago!)

About that time I also heard about Paramahansa Yogananda’s most famous work, Autobiography of a Yogi. I feel a tad bit frustrated with myself for not reading it then! But right now I have a copy and am reading it - and find it to be easily understood and fascinating. He tells his story in a way that keeps the pages turning. There’s nothing here that’s too difficult for an average human to understand.

In my search for yogic wisdom I came across a great website - GurusFeet - which provides social networking for all people following or looking for a guru. I’ve also written about my search for gurus online at the Squidoo site. I will be updating that page as I learn more and have time for updates.

If you go to GurusFeet.Com you can find my page here: LindaJM - I hope you’ll connect with me there!

Have you heard about The Secret? Lots of people are talking about it now because recently it was featured on Oprah’s show. The Secret is a movie (and now, a book) about manifesting anything we want in life.

I just found out there’s now a FREE online course: Masters of The Secret. I just signed up and I know there’s others who will love these lessons. The first lesson is available now, consisting of a message from one of the experts available in streaming audio, a downloadable MP3, or in print with a PDF file. Great options! I will download the MP3 tomorrow.

Here’s the link: Masters of The Secret

This is going to be available free to only a limited number of people for a limited amount of time, so if you’re interested,
sign up soon.

Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming. This desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to become all that we can be. Success in life is becoming what you want to be.

- Wallace D. Wattles

The Science of Getting Rich, originally published in 1910, was Wallace D. Wattles’ statement on what we now call manifesting abundance. Currently popularized by The Secret, an Australian movie featuring experts in the art of creating wealth, manifesting has become big business on the internet and in books. Wattles’ early work is substantiated by information put forth by theoretical physicists in another popular movie, What The Bleep Do We Know. There are many experts these days teaching what manifesting is, how to do it, and why it is possible.

I first read The Science of Getting Rich last year, and I’m re-reading it now. The principles put forth in the book lead us to prosperity consciousness, and need steady review to be mastered. The book is simple — consisting of seventeen very short chapters — and since there is no longer a copyright on books written so long ago, the book is available for reading free, right here on the internet. You can use Google to find it or go straight to The Science of Getting Rich Network where you will be able to sign up for a free book and newsletter.

In The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace insists that you can get rich, if anyone else can, in your current location and job. He doesn’t recommend moving or changing jobs right away. Instead he says that anyone who follows the steps in his book will, without a doubt, get rich. To understand the steps you must realize that everything is made from a “universal raw material”, the supply of which is inexhaustible. This formless stuff is intelligent and alive, and “always impelled toward more life”. It responds to our needs. By our ability to create thought forms in this universal raw substance, we can bring into being anything we want for our life.

Of course there’s more to it. We must deal with others fairly, giving everyone more ‘use value’ than we take from them in cash value. There’s absolutely no need to cheat anyone in order to get rich because there’s plenty of the “universal raw material” to create wealth for everyone. And we must be grateful for everything we’re manifesting, even before we get it.

Wallace D. Wattles lived from 1860 to 1911. Though he lived in poverty most of his life, in his later years he indeed got rich, showing us it can be done and that he knew how to do it. He wrote a few other books including The Science of Being Well, Health Through New Thought and Fasting, and The Science of Being Great.
