White Religion

Raised in the early sixties during the midst of the civil rights movement, a young girl—though African American—was brought up in a mixed family. Her mother was African American, and her mother’s husband was white. At an already trying time, this family took on the challenge of breaking the race barriers and became a blended family. It was a life of fun—camping, swimming, summer vacationing on the ocean—having two definitely different families. Her mom was a Washingtonian and a Christian, her stepdad was raised as a Mormon.

Science and faith are not opposed to each other! The fact is, you cannot have one without the other. Most technologists, scientists and engineers learn and use the scientific method in their jobs. The scientific method acknowledges before a hypothesis can be made, the inventor needs to have an idea outside the scientific body. Unfortunately, technical curriculum's do not teach how to receive and process a intuition, dream or gut feel.

Consisting of fewer than 200 verses written in an obscure if not impenetrable language and style, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra is today extolled by the yoga establishment as a perennial classic and guide to yoga practice. As David Gordon White demonstrates in this groundbreaking study, both of these assumptions are incorrect. Virtually forgotten in India for hundreds of years and maligned when it was first discovered in the West, the Yoga Sutra has been elevated to its present iconic status.
