Yoga has been missing in action!

Warmup To Basics is a playshop I’m putting together from years of ongoing research in what’s been missed the presence of which would make a difference in being human, humane, alive and in love. To my surprise, I found yoga itself has been missing coz we have made a whole set of meanings and interpretations and how-tos in ‘doing’ yoga, just as we have a whole set of interpretations in ‘love is a thing we do’ or ‘love is a something that happens to us’ or ‘love is who we are’ or..you get the drift. People shouldn’t be getting diseases, be economically poor or die if yoga was really happening, which is like a totally alien idea to most people, which talks about howw mucch yoga has been missing in action. Not too much, given that I came into existence inquiring into what’s missing the presence of which would make a difference, and that o lay happened because the fabric of time and space has been healing since some time from some level of yoga happening because soo many texts have been written on the subject and that didn’t happen overnight either. It’s like the Lego pieces have been there and the machine has been put together, even user manual is there, but the thing that would turn Frankenstein on is missing, and the reason for that is Frankenstein scared the bejesus out of its creator that the creator chased it away to a distant land because he was just not appreciated as a baby with humongous grotesque features but is just another human being. (At least, that’s the version of the story of Frankenstein that someone narrated to me.) On that story as point of reference, I’m suggesting that the whole structure of a humane being may have objectively come into existence as bits of information that over time came to form in the idea of a humane being as a global organism, like the body had many organ systems more or less cooperatively functioning in a reasonably healthy society but ‘life’ itself may have been missing to enliven the whole organism because our economic practices are a bit Frankensteinish coz #humanityacrossboundaries has been missing in big and small chunks, and I’m working on getting the Lego pieces to coordinate and enliven the whole beautifully body that is Life. It’s been working, which is why I’m speaking this PODcast (PointOfDiscovery cast). Somethings just need to be said and said again, you see? Coz they need to be heard and heard again to be believed it was said or heard to begin with in a world where such things may never have been said or heard before. I’m from the realm of the unknowable/unthinkable, you see?
