Back in the 70's I was doing yoga. I was trying to get high without taking drugs. I liked LSD. I kept asking my friends where there was a way to expand conciousness without taking chemicals. Finally a woman turned me onto the book, "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda. I read it in one night and I usually don't even read books. It inspired me so much I packed my car and headed for Los Angeles where Yogananda had his Self Realisation Fellowship Headquarters. They just happened to need a printer and I was one so they let me in. I studied and practiced yoga for a year and a 1/2. While joggin ghome I began to feel better and better. I felt this might be the Bliss they talk about. I went to my room and contemplated it. It really was beyond belief, just as they say about it in the books on Enlightenment. I kept feeling better and better. It was like winning the lottery. It was better than sex. Even after my body fell asleep, my mind kept running. I enjoyed stopping my dreams and running them backward or forward just as I had read about. I could enter any state of mind I wanted to. I am sorry to say it only lasted 3 days. But it came back over my life from time to time.
