What I am is formless and existed before chris.
This makes sense to me. In other words its the complete a total realization that you are infinite consciousness, connected to everything?

I have read Yogananda's autobiography and if I remember correctly he liked to call it self realization. When if at all do you think Yogananda achieved self realization?

It has been a long time since I read this book but it touched me greatly. I recommend it to everyone. I must read it again soon!

Namaste, Jia.
