Yoga Sutra 27
Sutra 27 Through this unbroken flow of discriminative awareness, one gains perfect knowledge which has seven spheres. There are seven frontiers to be integrated between the seen (nature, flesh) and the seer (soul, Holy Spirit). They are the body, the senses, energy, mind, intellect, consciousness, and the soul. According to this sutra, each has its…
Yoga Sutra 26
Sutra 26 The ceaseless flow of discriminative knowledge in thought, word, and deed destroys ignorance and the source of pain.

Yoga Sutra 21
Sutra 21 Nature and intelligence exist solely to serve the seer’s true purpose, emancipation. When Eve took that bite from the apple and Adam followed they broke Gods law and God put them out.

Yoga Sutra 20
Sutra 20 The seer is pure consciousness. He witnesses nature without being reliant on it. When I focus on this sutra and pray about where to begin looking for links within the Bible. I am let to focus on the Holy Spirit. The “seer” is all aspects of God including the Holy Spirit, that is…
Yoga Sutra 19
Sutra 19 The guna’s generate their characteristic division and energies in the seer their stages and distinguishable and non-distinguishable differentiable and not differentiable.
