The reason I have stuck with yoga and meditation and why I continue to inquire into several maps of the territory is because I have a desire to rise above the condition I found myself in with the diabetes I acquired at age 14.  

It is such a difficult condition.  Often times it becomes overwhelming.  

I am on a social website of people with type 1 diabetes and most are struggling most of the time.  We ride a roller coaster of blood glucose levels even though we have insulin pumps and Continuous glucose monitors.  Type 1 diabetes is misunderstood condition.  It requires 24/7 monitoring and the swings in blood sugar levels we experience affect how we feel, function and even behave.

However, there is always a polar opposite to anything and everything that arises in this realm of existence.  This is not my opinion.  It is a scientific fact.

And the blessing of the curse of my chronic condition combined with my desire to “cure” it is that I have been merited with an awareness of WHY.

Why the struggle?  Why the suffering?  What is the reason? What is the object of the game?

I’m not telling you I know the answer.

I just have been blessed with an opening in my consciousness to receive the answer.

And the best way to explain what I see is that the goal of the game of life is ……….. ………. …… To Ascend.

The yoga journey is a path of Ascension…….A path back hOMe.

One of my favorite yogis right now is staying current with what is happening around us.
