Interview with Yogi Sean: "Experience of Wholeness"

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Yogi Sean: When we did the previous talk about the wrathful deity, I was really strong by saying, “You want to do some other practices before you get into this because you want to have the foundation.” What you want is a sense of Continuity of Being. In other words, if you’re still clinging to defining yourself based upon the circumstances of your life, and you embrace change as your deity of choice, as your entraining image. In other words, as the image you’re going to entrain your consciousness, your awareness to; then you’re in deep doo doo. Again, if you’re identifying who you are with the circumstances of your life, and you begin to do a practice that basically reflects change, then what that’s going to do is jumble up the circumstances of your life.

When you’re angry, when you’re really pissed, you see the world around you with that sense of being pissed off. And you even see, as you said, other people getting mad at you.

Interviewer: Right, there’s this sense that they’re mad at me even though I haven’t even checked to see if that’s true.

Yogi Sean: That’s because you’ve taken on the persona of an Angry Man. That’s your image. That’s the tonality of your being. This is complex stuff, even though we’re doing it from a very simple perspective; we’re going from a circle.

Interviewer: It’s a very simple, very elegant practice, but very potent it seems.

Yogi Sean: It is, because it is offering the option, the choice, to focus on Wholeness rather than focus on multiplicity. The beauty of the circle is that it’s so simple it allows for flow. In this sense, flow can be multiplicity, but there’s a sense of continuity in it all. You use the term elegance; there’s a beauty and elegance about it.

So what happens is that over time, working with the circle in fact, I would say that if you or the readers experiment with the practice, they will actually find a sense of continuity in their world around them that didn’t seem to be there before, because the continuity is happening within them.

Interviewer: Will I notice that continuity while I am doing the practice, or after the practice, or both?

Yogi Sean: Actually, what you’re going to notice while you’re doing the practice is the continuity of the circle. But then as you say, “Okay, well, I’m done,” and you get up and you’re walking around and doing things in the day, you will have an inner reflection that says, “Hmm. There’s a sense of Wholeness about what’s going on here. This is cool and amazing.”
