#048 — Being in Love (∗ᵒ̶̶̷̀ω˂̶́∗)੭₎₎̊₊♡
This one starts with a (poor) reading from a passage in Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi" in which he breaks down miracles in the most scientific manner possible. We make a connection to how the Law of Attraction may be connected to that (just slow miracles). We also explore a lecture from the late and great Baba Ram Dass on Love and how we get attached to the method through which we get to Love instead of just enjoying the feeling itself. Om.
