Through the unbounded trials of life, at times bordering on death, what is a yogi supposed to do?Simple. Follow the Yoga Sutras and remember Patanjali's words: "These Great Vows are universal, not limited by class, place, time, or circumstance."Welcome to the Emergence Game, exploring the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a collection of 196 concise thoughts based on thousands of years of study. They give 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 ?lan vital, the innermost light.That said, the Emergence Game tells of adventures that illustrate the Sutras in a modern world with "familiar" characters.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," is given to Ron as a 2-year-old. And suppose this practice is carried forth through adulthood, one or more sutras at a time? How would it influence life regarding love, family, friends, struggle, and success?Melvin and Evangeline Zilinski brought the sutras to the education of their only child, starting at the time he learned to talk.The journey is documented here, all in first person as it occurred.
