How to embed YouTube video in post- not just link

How does one embed a YouTube video into a Coffeehouse forum post? Not just a link, but the actual YouTube window with the arrow that begins playback, such as the comedy sketch with the 10-pound note recently posted?
 
Thanks-

Here goes:

[tube][/tube] should be just like that, on the same line, no gap.

Hmmm,  I see

Those are very cool 

^^ No...already covered this in post#2..don't paste the URL, paste the 'share' link.

Okay, trying this. Just me wandering around taking pictures of our back yard between the storms.
 

 
Hope all are having a peaceful holiday.

Hi John I feel bad for you owning so few guitars and having to put up with that boring view day in and day out
I have a question of personal interest if you do not mind my asking  In the video at 1 min 47 seconds you fly by a picture on the wall
Where did you acquire it from and why or how did you end up with that photograph
J-

Might be just enough above the tsunami zone to survive it (70 ft). Done gone thru one so far. Greater jeopardy is the big quake which is supposed to turn everything west of Montana under water. Who knows. Always lived for the moment on the edge, so was a wild ride if and when.
 
Jyoti, had this poster for decades hanging on every wall I've moved to. Got it in Denver Colorado maybe 40 years ago. Yoga monk guy (almost 30 percent of a real swami guru dude) sitting on volcanic rock contemplating on what he was supposed to be contemplating about. An old icon of friendship telling me continually to try and get it together in spite of my daily screw ups and my state of death bound ignorance.

Hi Jyoti,
 
Small world indeed. Yeah, the guy in the photo was a good friend of mine. A coworker after the "Emergency" was lifted in India, late 1970's. Rough times. Spent my time in jail for fake charges.
 
The guy Acharya Pranavananda Avt.
 
Acharya- elevated spiritual soul trained extensively in all the this and that of yoga technology with the ability to transmit that knowledge to others. Title earned after passing through severe flames of purification. Actually means an instructor by moral example. Pranavananda came as close as anyone to that honor. For the rest of us, it was a title but a distant goal.
Pranavananda- One who exists in unbroken communion with the Omkara, subliminal clairaudient impact of pure cognition in the first downward spiral phase of Creation.
Avt. Abbreviation meaning one who is so high that there is nothing left of the phenomenal world he wants or needs.
 
(Doing okay so far?...)
 
Location is Ananda Nagar. Originally a hell hole of heat and a vast barren desert. Infested by snakes. One of three locations never under water in the earth's geological history. Now a model city for human service projects, medical centers, schools, orphanages.
 
Sad note however. The reverend Acharya passed away maybe 4 years ago. Nothing like in the photo. Flowing white hair and beard. We butted heads badly back then but I did teach him to play simple chords on a guitar. We had originally worked together in the Ananda Marga Central Office in New Delhi. Later I was posted to the lovely Rajasthan desert to oversee relief work there. Last time I saw him was maybe 1978.
 
Like you said, small world.

Jyoti,
 
Can’t explain the contradiction but you nailed the symptoms of the issue. I tuned in my orange turban long time ago however to resolve the contradiction. Greater increasing dichotomy between the external expression and the internal reality. I’d been hit with every disease known to the orient. Malaria, worms crawling out my ass, sores on my body that would not heal. Last posting was in West Africa. I could barely crawl from one tour site to the next. People at the next event were fired up to get instruction, guidance, a spiritual boost. I was at a lower level of life force than those I was supposed to inspire.
 
One night, I was scheduled to go on tour from Ghana to Togo. My gut exploding with dysentery and hi fever. Just wanted to drop dead. Came to the realization that this ain’t working.
 
Beyond this, I was weak morally in relation to the high standards of the office. Still wanted to rock and roll. Pretty girl could still drag down my focus into the dirt. Still many LSD pills to take, many beers to drink.
Called it quits. Thought that I would be better off as a reject space case than to pollute the uniform of an ideal way greater than what I was able to maintain.
 
So what was the question. Where did I train. Okay.
 
Morgantown West Virginia 1973 doing radical brain wave studies in the psych labs of the university, too much to explain here.
 
Young Philippine “Acharya” from some off the wall Ananda Marga sect was brought in to study.
 
The diagnostic result was mind blowing. When I asked what the data meant he said he could not explain to me because the trans mental cognitive state was above and beyond my ability to understand. I begged for instruction which he gave, but put me into absolute hell for 6 months until the Source became visible through a clairvoyant faculty we all have, but buried too deep. Majority of 2018 humanoids live, eat, excrete, drop dead without the slightest clue of the potential they possess or the reason they are here in the first place. In one instant, all the religious scriptures of the earth merged into one blazing reality. As well as the message the founders were trying to get through to our primitive primate brains.
 
This took me on an odyssey.
 
I chased down the Acharya. There were 5 of these elevated cosmic yogis in the western hemisphere at the time. Begged for more instruction, deeper explanation. They answered my questions but kept flipping me off on the request to learn the diagnostic code they transformed me by. They compassionately said that I was already too brain dead and damaged by my culture to have any hope of success. 22 year old meat eater imprinted on a defective religious dogma that left deep deep residual scars. Enjoy the personal flight to Immortality which I had been given, but to unlock the key for another human being was next to impossible given my degraded state.
 
Got to break and do the house work, but will answer your question. And you, dear lady… Do you have any experience with yoga. If you and your family knew Pranavananda, someone in your immediate circle did.
 
John (former and no longer Acharya John)

John I appreciate your coming out of the yoga closet so to speak Your narrative rings of truth and it was not my intent to drag you through the coals I feel you know why I needed to ask Next week when you say you are a space alien I will defer fractured judgment until I have tried to understand your side of the story
 
No need to document your training ordeal for my sake
Since YOU asked about my involvement with yoga
 
I began the discipline at 3 years old  My childhood was beautiful way more than can be described I was the child of two saints but on different pathways 
It was somewhat like living with parents who one was a catholic and one a protestant They had different understandings but let their differences lay in the background and they celebrated their common beliefs
 
My mother was a devotee of Paramahansa Yogananda. My father a hard core tantric in the Ananda Marga lineage.
From the age less than one years, I sat upon the lap of my father or mother during their meditation This was home
When it came time for my formal training there were the two paths of my mother or father My father said that I should follow the pathway of my mother Her entry point to a higher understanding was a path strewn with flowers My father’s path was filled with thorns He said that if he was given a son, the child would follow in his path  As it turned out I was an only child and my father never had a son to follow the Ananda Marga ascent
 
Curious manifestation of being a precocious child. My early years were filled with blissful celebrations There was never a week that went by that either my father or mother had the house flooded with saints and Acharyas I was totally surrounded with love with devotion and technology delivered in the guise of Grace
As such and having started spiritual discipline at an early juncture many of the gifts of insight given only to babes was maintained  There was the memory of past lives which for most recede before self awareness at around age 5 is fully grounded to deal with the current experience  There were the fields of auras emanating from everything animate and inanimate  I thought everyone knew this until I found different This made me the odd ball once I entered public school Cast out and rejected even if I knew I had the higher ground
 
So I have a question swami John not related with what I am bleeding my heart out about
My father said that between him and my mother, there were major philosophical differences between his fire and brimstone path and my mother’s flower and perfumed laden sadhana.
Dad studied deeply a book called Ananda Sutram. He claimed that the entire universe was explained in a text less than a quarter inch thick  He said that here were major contradictions between his philosophy and my mother’s philosophy  He was so proper We studied Ananda Sutram together by light of a candle but he did not touch on what he considered to be irreconcilable differences He wanted to spare me
I’m a big girl now looking back at what happened I see no contradiction
Any idea what the problem is or was  As an Acharya even if a former Acharya can you cast some Light on this  If anyone has a handle on Ananda Sutram you guys are the rock stars
Respect what you went through to elevate the human condition Winds of karma are surely blowing in your favor even if you bailed out for valid reasons

Hi swami john  I am established in what and who I am  Nothing can shake this in the face of any literary discourse
No damage can be done to some frail psyche You dont have to worry about me slitting my wrists if you burst my bubble
I can now hang back and look at what like you said is philosophy no longer needed
Curious minds want to know
What was the problem of contradiction in your opinion that my father wanted to spare me from

John  My Sam'skrta is probably not as good as yours but I have my dictionary and can keep up with the best
I have my fathers copy of Ananda Sutram stained here and there in blood by injuries he had on the job  I can navigate my understanding through much of this
I still see no demon in the closet contradiction between the two philosophies and by the nature of yoga being a science there should be no clash  My father and I studied his Ananda Sutram "bible" every night and all was in accord with what he wanted my mother to guide me by
What is your issue  What was my fathers issue  I see nothing out of sync or in contradiction
