Roy Eugene Davis was a Kriya Yoga Guru/Teacher in the lineage of teachers, Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar and Paramahansa Yogananda. Mr. Davis, was initiated by Yogananda and ordained by Yogananda to teach Kriya Yoga. He was one of the youngest student's of Yogananda to be ordained.
I met Mr. Davis in the late summer of 2000, and was fortunate to have had 18 years to learn Kriya Yoga from him. In this episode, we consider Roy Eugene Davis' life and what I learned from him as a student in the Kriya Yoga Tradition.

Make your spiritual practice your highest priority.  Don’t make excuses.
Focus on essentials, don’t be distracted by too many things.
Be as mentally, emotionally, and spiritually mature as possible.
Take care of your body and manage your resources well.
Never affirm anything you don’t want to be true for yourself.
Meditate well, alertly and effectively.
Be conscious of the people you surround yourself with.
Expand your mind and consciousness – read more, keep learning, rise above provincial or small minded states.
Always have your highest aims in mind.
Be a possibility thinker.
Remember what is real, and always focus on that.

Here we discuss the obstacle of fear.  Fear prevents us from going deeper into our meditation, or making positive changes in our spiritual life.  Fear is a reality, but not a defining factor of who we are. Once this is realized, we can be free of its influence.  This talk is based off the writing in my new book, An Essential Guide to Kriya Yoga Practice. Now available in hardcover on Amazon.
