Rough draft of some of my Wager. Summary. (Pistol, pls don't shoot holes in the frame, wait till I get the targets up.)

60%: Serve joy, beauty, the ecosystem, and the 813.
30%: Stay sane and develop talents.
10%: Hedge bets for afterlife (if any).

Empirical/subjective summary: Yoga works.
1. Rubber meets road: Best people I know are yogis.
2. First-hand: It works for me *

The yogic philosphy is probably basically right, or at least is the best I can hope to find. By its fruits....

Not much yoga apologetics for CSL fans. No yogic Narnia series.*

(Indian) Yoga instruction is designed to integrate with the Indian religion and cultulre. If you want to hook yoga philos up with western myth/lit/relig images, it requires a custom interface. Don't want to force western images/logic into my partial understanding of yoga phil. (or vv).

Explore different configurations of western images/logic to see if there is a system that:

Works on its own, especially in areas my yoga phil doesn't cover
Doesn't contradict yoga phil
Might combine well with it: overlaps fit, edges supplement

Uses images I already like

More to come,
