Dear Friends, Many of you are familiar with Yogi Ramacharaka's Science of Breath. I've seen many recommendations on this list as well as Rawn Clark's abc.com. I don't recall ever really seeing anyone connecting Franz Bardon and Ramacharaka's Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism. There are so many similarities that I ask myself if FB wasn't to some extent influenced by Yogi Ramacharaka's work. The book was published I believe in 1904. This book seems to answer many questions about mind, mental bodies, astral spheres, etc. that IIH may have been vague about. Since I am far from completing the IIH steps, I don't recognize the subtle differences, if any, in the teachings, but I'll leave that to the reader. I just wanted to point people to this resource: http://www.arfalfa.com/YogiPhilosphy/YogiPhilosophy.htm If anyone has the "Hatha Yoga" .pdf I would appreciate a link. The copyright is expired on these books, so it's all legal. :-) Sincerely, Allen Kray __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
