Secret Yoga Club: Anchored in the Sutras, Quantum Physics, and Samadhi

Thoughtful people in their quest for self-discovery and the meaning of life have left no rock unturned, searching outwardly along many avenues, and inwardly through the use of meditative practices. For many, this quest has led to yoga, the science of living in true self, science in the sense of provable and repeatable, and true-self described as aware, free, and happy-the élan vital, the innermost light.

Welcome to this book of adventures based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a collection of 196 concise thoughts from thousands of years of study. These sutras are mostly psychological, a map of consciousness, the landscape from here to samadhi.

Many learned commentators see them as eloquent and methodical, and some consider Patanjali the Einstein of sages. His sutras show a fractal structure, growing upon itself from a seed to the universe.

But what would a child think? Suppose the first sutra, "Now the practice of yoga" or simply "Now yoga," is given to Ron Adams as a two-year-old. And suppose this is carried forth through adulthood, one or more sutras at a time? How would it influence life regarding love, family, friends, struggle, and success? For Ron there would also be tragedy, deaths, incarceration, prison gangs, mandatory release, High Sierra, marriage and family, mountains and earthquakes.

Doctors Melvin and Evangeline Adams brought the sutras to the education of their only child, starting at the time he learned to talk.

The journey is documented here in the Secret Yoga Club.
