Email to a friend who submitted an article and is working on a book. The article had to do with looking at Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper from a yogic point of view. His talk on the topic was excellent.   I wrote: “Your story of how you were trained to think and how you re-programmed yourself is very powerful.  The story itself is a bridge to understanding.    Yes, I know many people feel compelled to write and never get anything in print, and I used to be one of those.  Getting it published never seemed to matter at the end.  I finally figured out I just wanted to be a writer and not a bookseller.   I say this because let’s don’t look at this project as: How fast can we produce a book to sell and who would we market it to and etc, etc.  Let’s look at it as, every day as part of your practice, sit with the intention to type for as long as it flows out of you, asking first something like, “what can I write about that will be most helpful in this moment”.  Whatever comes to mind, follow it and see where it takes you.  Maybe what is “most helpful” one day is simply to write down what you ate and where you biked and how you feel about everyone you know.    Maybe what is “most helpful” another time is writing about the works of other great masters as seen through the yogic eye.   Maybe what is “most helpful” another time is to contemplate what areas of your life have been sort of rewritten in history as a result of your later contemplation in light of the yogic view.
