RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Express Your True Personality

How to enjoy true self-esteem, confidence and harmony

The yogic view is that the soul is your true personality. What we normally call personality is not our true self, not our essence. The great metaphysician Ernest Holmes (The Ernest Holmes Papers) explains:  There is but one power, one life, one mind, one soul, one Spirit. Explore suggestions from yoga and metaphysics about finding and living in your true personality. Experience the self-esteem, assurance, confidence, peace and harmony which develop as you abide and express your true self.

Essential Life Skills

The Infinite Spirit Is Expressing

Ernest Holmes:  What is the pattern by which Spirit is expressing Itself? Examine your life and study the pattern.

 Sense the pattern of Spirit which is striving to express in you and your life. Realize that Spirit knows what It is doing. Too often, the ego gets in the way and goofs things up. Attune and recognize:  The Infinite Spirit is expressing as me.

  • Ernest Holmes:  The awakened life is a continual descent of Spirit.
  • Yoga, metaphysics and mysticism advise going beyond personality to discover, abide in and express our true essence, our soul
  • Flowing into each of us is a unique presentation of the Infinite Self
  • Ernest Holmes:  There is but one power, life, mind, soul and Spirit.
  • There is one life, one law, which animates and governs everything

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
