Not just understand the framework — install it in the body."* ## 1. Religiousness in Yoga (the book) [**yoga.jacobcole.net**](https://yoga.jacobcole.net/) Jacob's book site. Hosts the **first six pages of *Religiousness in Yoga*** — a book Jacob considers life-changing. > "The other book I linked you, at yoga.jacobcole.net — you only need six pages of that one and it'll change [your life]. It changed my life. Got paradigm downloads and then clearing the BS from the body, so that your physical components, the emotional components, catch up to the logical ones." The structural insight: **logical understanding drifts ahead of emotional and physical understanding** in most people. The "life upgrade" project is the work of letting the slower layers catch up. Yoga (specifically the school covered in this book) is one of the highest-bandwidth ways to do that catching-up. Six pages is a small commitment. Jacob's claim is that those six pages alone are enough to give you *paradigm downloads* — see [[Ego and Conceptual Thought as Tools]] for what "downloads" means in his vocabulary. ## 2. The qigong arms-up position The single physical practice Jacob taught David in the conversation. See [[Qigong (Arms-Up Position)]]. No external resource for this — the seven-minute instruction is on the wiki page. The audit framing matters here: > "What is blocking you from doing this system? If you can't do it, it's a concern." The position is **diagnostic**. You don't need to feel ready. You learn what you have by trying. ## 3. Iyengar yoga See [[Iyengar Yoga]]. Move to the [[Meditation Starting Points]] cluster for the studio onboarding link. ## After this cluster Continue to [[Meditation Starting Points]] for the actual practice on-ramps.
