In this episode, taken from his Tuesday night satsangs, Gary describes how to operate the three vehicles of Raja Yoga — the physical, energetic, and mental bodies — so you can remain in the unified field and ride the highway of Dynamic Stillness. This allows you to interact in the world around you in a satisfying and meaningful way, and to always be in service to yourself and others. He also goes into detail about the three functions of the mind — feelings (ahankara), memory (manas), and thinking (buddhi) — and how to undertand these functions when you get wobbly, upset, or lose connection. This is all part of the purpose of Raja Yoga, of how to change your relationship to your mental patterns.
