In this class we will explore together Chapter Two, the Yoga of Discrimination. Just as Dejection is the entry point to the spiritual path, Discrimination is the means by which one pulls out of the dejection process. The yoga of Discrimination is when the seeker learns what is Spirit, what is bondage and introduces the spiritual path.

At 2:00 PM there will be Center Committee Meeting. All who have pledged to the Center or feel to participate more deeply with our work here are invited. We will be reviewing how things are going here at the Center, the finances and create a plan for expanding the work into the Sacramento community.
