This issue merits modern science and perspective on genuine human spiritual history. Monks in the Himalayan Temples have carbon datable proof that Jesus of Nazareth was a Yogi teaching the Kriya of Babaji, and anyone who does serious inquiry, people raised Christian, such as myself, in good faith, take facts, yes…facts, and use them to apply to our spiritual understandings. This has created a HUGE movement of people who embrace BOTH Christianity and the pure spirituality of true YOGA.
It’s all about magnetics, science and anyone who wishes to move forward spiritually within truth, would do well to remove the prejudice blocks to understanding facts and truth.

The embrace of yoga is a symptom of our postmodern spiritual confusion, and, to our shame, this confusion reaches into the church
Dr. Albert Mohler, Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, on the scourge of Christians practicing yoga:
When Christians practice yoga, they must either deny the reality of what yoga represents or fail to see the contradictions between their Christian commitments and their embrace of yoga. The contradictions are not few, nor are they peripheral. The bare fact is that yoga is a spiritual discipline by which the adherent is trained to use the body as a vehicle for achieving consciousness of the divine. Christians are called to look to Christ for all that we need and to obey Christ through obeying his Word. We are not called to escape the consciousness of this world by achieving an elevated state of consciousness, but to follow Christ in the way of faithfulness.

the first legal male prostitute
I think for a male, if you want to be successful in this type of venture, you’re not a prostitute. You’re a surrogate lover. You encompass everything that’s required of you—not only emotionally, physically—but psychologically. Because women are wired differently. They’re much more sensitive creatures. You actually have to enjoy what you do. You can’t necessarily say, “Oh, it’s just a job.” You actually have to say it’s a passion. I think it’s the same situation as with anything that happens when you break apart a social institution. There has to be some kind of change in terminology to describe persons like myself. And it’s more of a civil rights thing now. Basically this is the first time in the economy of the United States that a male has actually stood up and said, “I want to do this for a living.” And be protected under law to do it. It’s just the same as when Rosa Parks decided to sit at the front instead of the back. She was proclaiming her rights as a disadvantaged, African-American older woman. And I’m doing the same. I’m actually standing up now, and hopefully I can be supported by the male community and be understood as a person. This actually isn’t about selling my body. This is about changing social norms.
Congratulations.
