Thank you Steve. Once again, it seems that meditation is the key. I will re- read lesson 15, and the meditation lesson. Somehow I had a feeling that regular meditation practices would enter into the conversation.
Interesting to note, how past life whatevers continually make an appearance in this current life, in this case, " awakened occult soldiers of past lives offering resistance" .
Yes, I can relate to Yogananda's good recommendations, I have recently come to notice this more and more. People, places and things that once held an interest, seem to be fading away, slow by slow.

'The beginner on the spiritual path may take courage from this thought: No matter how many times a man suffers from powerful attacts of sense-attractions and restlessness-producing material desires, he finds the meditation-born, occult soldiers of ths life, and past lives, coming to his aid." ~Yogananda
