Tattoo It – venice class – Jul 30, 2015 th

Excerpt from full talk.

Erich: The big deal, remember, like I was saying the other day, is it's all about lifestyle — the way you do your thing. Yoga is a lifestyle. It is not a PE class. It's a mind-state with which you live your life.

The main homework, the way I am presenting it, is called the holy instant. The essence of that is whenever it occurs to you, pause and wonder, "What is the truth here, really?"....

the Yogic Lifestyle – venice class – July 28, 2015 tu

Erich: So, as a reminder... and I probably don't need to say this, and yet I am being prompted to say this, since I've got the chance and since we're here:

Your real DNA is G-O-D. It's not anything other than that.

Therefore, whatever the nature of G-O-D is, is what you should be identifying yourself as. Otherwise, you are going to be walking around as a "three" or a "five" in the middle of a four-world...
