Yoga Sutra Talk
Dr. Shelley Thomas, a language professor at Middle Tennessee State University, offers a class on awakening. They cover some of the primary world literature on the topic. Previously, they’ve invited academics to speak on the texts, but this session have invited awake people. Andrew Hewson had spoken to a prior class and suggested me for the Yoga Sutra. He also introduces me. I review the structure, main points, and key places where the text is often misunderstood. On YouTube I often quote from the Yoga Sutra and have been considering compiling an illustrated version, so I have a spreadsheet with several translations. I compiled my version for the class.
