Hello, I'm JimRenge. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Mysticism because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Spirituality and Mysticism. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

 * Hi March232013, and welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding Om Swami: I can fully understand that you're fond of a particular teacher, but Wikipedia is meant to be an Encyclopedia, not a free website to recommend your teacher, no matter how important he may be. I have to note, though, that I like this quote which you added to Self-realization:
 * "According to Om Swami, Self-realization is not an instantaneous act. We may have an aha moment but it is mindfulness that allows us to navigate the world with the utmost awareness of our verbal, mental, and physical actions. It is one thing to grasp that we are not just the body, but it is another thing altogether not to react when someone hurts us. We may recognize that anger destroys our peace of mind, but to remain calm, no matter how strong the provocation - that is real realization. "
 * Nevertheless, there are thousands of spiritual teachers, so a condensation of essential points, based on secondary sources, is preferred. Best regards,  Joshua Jonathan   -  Let's talk!   05:37, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
