Thank you for your continuing interest in the yogic path to enlightenment!
**************************************************************************
Five years ago, after consolidating more than ten years of meditational studies
and gains, I began to author The Four Yogas electronic book. Last November,
after trying unsuccessfully for some time to find a publisher, I decided to try
an on-line experiment in shareware publishing. With some database experience, I
began to learn HTML programming. I quickly learned that a webmaster requires
more skills than just programming and began to acquire some skills in graphics
and layout. The Four Yogas home page has evolved since December into a Netscape
enhanced, as well as a generic browser viewable site. Fellow men-and-women-of-
knowledge have responded with considerable interest and a fair number of
visitors have downloaded, and hopefully enjoyed and benefited from the
electronic book.

After becoming megabyte challenged at my prior Internet service I recently
decided to move to a larger home at SPRYNET. The challenge with more space will
be to implement changes that will enhance interest in yogic awareness and
development. Towards this end I will continue to add links in as many fields of
related interest as I can discern. Although The Four Yogas points towards a
variety of growth paradigms including Transpersonal and Jungian Psychology, as
well as the meditational aspects of esoteric Buddhism and nagualism, and even
dabbles in physics, I am also open to other disciplines relating to growth of
the human spirit. Many of the fields of endeavor that to me at first glance
appeared impenetrable, later became invaluable. So in the parlance of don Juan,
I will continue to explore new avenues for the way of the warrior, and discover
creative means for becoming a man of knowledge by seizing whatever cubic
centimeter of chance the spirit offers. The intent of The Four Yogas is to
provide the means for everyone to SEE in meditative absorption, as well as to
discover the guru within, on the path of Self-actualization and spiritual
development. I invite everyone to offer comments and suggestions for enabling
yogic awareness, and suggest additional dynamic and ennobling links.

Future plans include creating an HTML version of The Four Yogas for on-line
perusing, as well as contracting with an audiotape producer for a tape version
of the book. Besides broadening the scope of distribution, and perhaps enabling
future warriors, The Four Yogas site wishes to remain in the vanguard of on-line
publishing, and eventually make the website financially self-sustaining as new
opportunities in Internet commerce emerge. It has been my experience with my
most valued books that the printed medium is vastly superior to the computer
screen for studying. Therefore it is my intent to keep The Four Yogas as
shareware, alongside an eventual inexpensive published version. The shareware
version of The Four Yogas may be downloaded freely for personal use, my only
request is that the copyright be respected.

With expanded on-line space I am considering devoting space to viewer comments
and interests, and 5-10k documents of related interest. Eventually a guest book
will be implemented for those who share the journey and wish to sign in.

I hope you will find The Four Yogas website a meditational resource, and worthy
of further visits and contribution.

Best regards,

Ed Plotkin
