01 It Does Not Augur Well — Complete
This must stop.
Suffice to say that humans on planet Earth need to curtail their tendency towards violence. They know it but their need to impose their will on others is far stronger. Otherwise how do you explain incidents like a) Teacher punishing the child with such intensity that the child dies b) The man belts the woman who is already tied to him as wife c) The arms race d) The strong arm of the law using their authority to murder an arrested culprit and such incidents? The reason: they enjoy it. The brutality and savagery seen in the human race is not seen in any other animal race in the Cosmos. Instead of raising their consciousness they do everything guaranteed to lower it. Yet they talk of God, forgiveness and kindliness, of compassion and Grace. The level of bestiality equals only their level of insincerity and the platform of lies that they have built their society upon. This has to change.
Communicating is a battle. A curious and dangerous battle. The enemy calls. To reach them one has to pass thru the jungle of words. All the words have to battle thru the trees of all kinds; some friendly but mostly predatorial; but some are even friendly, even too friendly and change the perfume of my words with their keen embrace.
Saying sorry...All on the surface.
Cynically speaking........
So much energy goes into our words and shapes our entire lives on the basis of our utterances. Yet our hearts are rarely in tune with our words; blaming others for it. The blame game is satisfaction enough.
Every circumstance, position, attribute that comes to us is designed around our core persona and its need to grow into a more completely balanced being; precisely designed for each one of us alone.
Why do humans put in more effort in blasting away their lives than making something of it? Humans act against their best interests.
Our lives are so beautifully choreographed in every detail that it is astounding. The beauty is that everyone of us is enjoined in some way or the other and all of play a little in part in each other's lives and yet our own plot remains so individualistic and complete in every details that you can only wonder and pray for Grace.
People who "know"; specially people cocksure about their trade and over-valuing themselves - If they are denied their intrusion into things that do not concern them, their egos get hurt and go into a sulk and then the getting any work done becomes impossible.
This state of affairs has to be corrected.
Imagine a pond with colonies of tadpoles. We live on earth but our minds are separate as a unit -- a lake unto itself. Every tadpole has a slightly different image. Then it tries to communicate its view using words that have on the average 6 different meanings.
Degradation in life and attitudes today is seen because the mass manufacturing has taken over. All has become distant and impersonal; even the ardent love affairs. There is no personal commitment of the worker.
How humanity has imposed upon itself this demonic trauma of needing to hide the human body from view. First they made body contact a sin. Then mutual hugging became an even bigger sin. All this weighs heavily on the human mind continuously like a delayed delivery capsule it leeches into our subconscious forever troubling us as it goes against human behavioral instinct. It has made us lonely and looking for solace in drink and drugs; this has in NO way improved upon matters.
Today the biggest EVENT in life seems to be to see the Human Form without its clothes on. People are dying to communicate with their bodies
Laziness is portrayed as poisonous and this has killed the act of meditation and contemplation and the life of subtle joys. Go back to the forest state.
The same has been done with the word FAMILY. -- The world of ours IS only from blood connections. They are ours and will treat us well and support us; while the rest of humanity is a sea of strangers. This has resulted in more pain than one can imagine and so untrue. It is one of the biggest lie the humans adopted.
While genuine love coming from strangers is suspected.
We learn with the mind. We want to change the unpleasant things in our lives with the mind. We are living in our minds. Everything starts and ends there. The mind world is a very separate world to reality. Things get extremely muddled when we add to it all the world of words where it is "FOG" all the time and in modern times it has become SMOG.
The fault is in the education pattern. This pattern can be easily broken by inculcating the right thoughts at an early age so that the mind becomes its own mentor.
Real life is in the Subconscious and it is this that runs our world. Until change can be instituted at this juncture nothing will really change. Practice has to be imposed on the normal to mind to stop hallucinating because it is under the control of the Ego Being and focus on that. Something that does not happen by attending courses or seminars and lectures. Very few really take this route of forcing the subconscious to change by repetition, meditation and diligently making the mind stay on course - the part that is undertaken by the WILL.
This eclipse has all the energy needed to get out of one's shell.
Of course, if so desired.
But first one has to accept the fact of the "shell" and certainly no one wants to let go anything. Change is frightening.
Most lectures, advice and sharing of knowledge towards better living and awareness, better health etc amount to lecturing a fish how to live on land - something that it is never going to do or can adapt or change itself to do in this life time.
LIFE: A game without known rules, forced upon us with no choices. It is the cat-o-nine-tails if you refuse to play.
Wish people did not love me so intensely. They get so mad when I don't do things their way.
Just imagine an ego being told that he is not important and may be even worthless.
Even the Divine has to come again and again in a new body because the human/material world is an element of habit and these are anchored in another realm where your education, mind etc have little or no control. In fact your education and mind are responsible eventually for the lack of flexibility and openness as they allow the center of your energy to overtake all in the form of the EGO.
Who is talking to whom nowadays?
The elderly with their memories are haunted more. But LONELY we all are.
Moreover we all have lived in small cocoons and nobody has much to share that would be of interest to another. All wish to talk of their selves so all we get is a Babel Tower.
Wake up and get out of bed.
Surprisingly no one talks of cultivating hobbies.
People with creative hobbies never get to know loneliness.
It is like in everything else; thru our own experience we realise what others may be going thru but nobody has time for anything or anybody.
Everyone sees him/herself slogging, doing, caring and tiring oneself out for moving the ball about with little or no recognition while we see others taking it easy -- filling oneself with resentment based on this illusion and becoming angry at the world at large...making oneself sick with rage, getting prematurely old and sowing seeds of destructive diseases and spoiling everything including their own lives and their near ones.
This is what arrogance and narrow-mindedness can do and does.
The mind is trying hard to find meaning in a meaningless world to it. Every single word we know about LIFE is made up; stories cooked up by story tellers. The stories of Ramayana, Troy......all these fall into this category. These stories also become the perfect excuse for the present humanity to continue misbehaving and running away from the truth that their lives show to them.
All the base impulses find justification in these stories while philandering as spiritual pathways and acts of greatness.
The government needs an excuse to BAN things. The seniors in government make fortunes under the table trade. I wonder if people realize that they are responsible by their behavior as they provide the excuse so Bans can be imposed. The government is looking for excuses.
We take pride in our self as better, better in looks, better in thinking and solving our challenges, smarter and for all to see greater in taste thru the clothes we wear, the way we present ourselves and our style-statements.
But at the core, under your clothes and make-up.....how different are you?
Ageing begins in the mind. Thoughts of raking it in, revenge, scorn, intolerance accompanied by shrieking episodes along with NOT utilising one's education to learn and take advantage of the world around us with special stress on letting others rule our lives and be unhappy - these things do age us. Humans shed your laziness and allow yourselves to grow gracefully.
Most people get stuck in their 20s, 30s, 40s years and try to go for the rest of their lives trying to prove themselves as being somebody of great achievement and importance. This is tiring and ages the body very fast.
You not only age faster, you become seriously sick and die before your ordained time.
Humans are too protective or too disinterested. This weakness starts the process of weakness in characters that make humans crumble at the first go and lands them up in the care of therapists who then squeeze your thinking into believing that without their help you cannot stand on your own.
Running away through psychiatric care of drugs is not the answer.
THE ACCEPTANCE OF DRUGS & medical help is simply unbelievable. The mental process seems to be terribly dependent and accepting of this as a way of living. The trust in the authorities like the Doctor, the pharma and the groups controlled by the government that regulate what is to be allowed. Time and time again the world has seen how self-interest is behind them all but like non-intelligent beings the humans continue to follow these Pipers. And the corporates gleefully continue to profit from these brainless children who are being medicated to the power of 'n'... this is how they are cultivating a normal level headed society?
Individuals are no longer tolerated as a necessary element in human progression. Change is not wanted.
Children brought up in a responsible thinking/behaving household with a lot of selfless love and consideration never have issues.
The tables have turned. In the past this is how it was and labelled as 'Traditionalism' but the individual was left alone and accepted. The sadness is in the fact that the public wants it this way!
Suffering stops the moment one becomes aware of the duality of your mental creations vs reality - what you wish vs what is.
It is funny how easily the meaning of certain words has been revised. The FAKE world is in total control of human minds. This is now showing in all the products they are making, using, devising and promoting. How it has worked its way into spiritual attitudes is worth noting.
Meditation now means sitting idle quietly. It is an end in itself. Being quiet has certain good points but it stops there the way it is practiced now. Dressing like Napoleon does not make you Napoleon.
The word Coupling now comes under the purview of 'love' -- totally missing the point that the word LOVE is a state of permanent consciousness.
The thing to note is that humans are so actively fooling their selves and proudly patting their own selves with high praise.
It is a sad development as it has increased the level of stupidity in action and perverted the mental evolution of centuries.
A great number of people give this advice to quieten the mind. They ask us to make the mind go calm so other latent energies can make their experience.
As if it was as simple as making instant coffee.
But I ask them have they arrived at it?
Show me one person who has. And how would you know if one has?
The smartphone has achieved the impossible -- the complete sale of the mind to the Devil. Who wants this quiet? Show me one person who even wants it.
Most people read books, many after many and they see what other greats had to say but yet they do not do anything like implementing all that onto themselves in their lives. They never inquire.
They never GO for the experience at all; being well-read is enough for them.
But their arrogance of being enlightened would make a hole in the sky.
Alcohol is the most toxic substance for the human brain, and yet humans prize it above all else.
It is the welcome drink. It is the accompanying drink to all foods. It is the party drink. It is the relaxing drink. It is the drink given before fighting in armies and navies. And it is the drink to drown sorrows. Nothing destroys our health like it does.
THEY KNOW HOW POTENT IT IS. Yet it is the biggest industry and the most common item on our plate. It is time to grow up and let higher values of conduct prevail.
Comfort and safety from the elements has made us bold. In fact too bold -- so bold that we have shelved our intelligence and delegated it to the lowest drawer. The world is allowed to poison lives, illnesses are allow to fester, humans wallow in loneliness and depression....most of them are crossing over to the other shores in pain on ventilators -- is this the life as was envisioned as the wonderful episode... Where death is the last refuge?
There is every reason to be scared. Uncertainty is a certainty. It keeps humans on their toes and consciously aware. It is a necessity in the human condition as things are.
But being afraid is another matter. We can't use being afraid as a reason to not make any moves at all.
On failing memories.
This is Grace at work. Something humans should have learnt to do on their own and let the mind live a simpler unburdened life. There is more to life than survive in the world of words. How much do we need to know and remember? When people start getting out of this life circle, when the past is far gone that nothing is worth remembering, why keep yourselves burdened? Who cares? How does it matter?
If you don't remember it is because you don't need to or some serious deep "Delete" action is required. How would 'medical help' help?
The mind starts losing its touch when not really properly exercised - when we keep going in small and smaller circles and think erroneously that we are 'doing'. AI has not helped at all.
What is happening is that the Spirit is growing and the mind is backing off.
This subject worries only those who still think that their prowess as seen in their 20s and 30s is the way to be. Let the past recede and fade out.
Before talking of such things like higher vibrations, making the mind quiet, enlightenment, kundalini and chakras etc, simply start by paying attention to what your body is saying. Humans treat it as the kings treat their people - with total disdain. You "ARE" because you have a body but live in the most dastardly ways.... always hurting it (yourselves) even dying soon because of it. It is seen happening to all around but it does not strike a chord in us.
This is unfortunately the level of consciousness prevalent. No one realises this is exactly how all treat each other too.
Humans take no measures to fight against what they think is bad for them.
Humanity so busy grabbing that we not see that this is exactly what everyone is doing within the authority available to each and many things are done just to show this off; 99.9% of the times humans are acting against their own interests.
Humanity needs to change its ways of protesting. Physically trying to stop some projects or take to the streets against some decisions/laws only makes the governing kings stronger. WE need to understand where it will HURT them.
This activity only makes the people illegals in their eyes by their laws; we are just riff-raff while they are the kings. They use the police force to protect themselves - not assist in good governance. The police and the para-military obey 'them'.
The public -- a few dead does not matter a bit to them.
ALL THIS DOES NOT hurt them or go against them.
Firstly consider: Your vote is putting them there.
Start with become less afraid and think before you rush to live on their handouts.
Doing the same silly things at 60 that you did at 16 is NOT youthfulness. Youthfulness is in the mind when you dare to do new things that are out of your repetitive comfort zone - because your growing mind needs to.
What is this thing about trauma with the human race? All painful experiences, even small uneventful ones are seen as traumatic. I small scratch and mothers can be seen rushing to hospitals.
Accidents, unfortunate incidents, people with ill-intentions etc - this is life and shapes character. Life was designed to be a bed of rose petals in a warm luxuriating bath.
Modern parents raising kids on these new parameters are raising wimps.
The basic philosophies teach that your daily quota of income fated for you will come to you therefore worry not, spend all that you have earned in the day on that day itself.
1) Trust your destiny
2) The Universe is providing
3) It is this fever of accumulating and doubling the income that are the sources of all misery.
The person debunking has only as much value as given him.
Take for instance Homeopathy, Herbology, Naturopathy and even Raj Yog. Debunking them is in fashion now because those who rule want it that way as their own medical system needs to be promoted and the public is too foolish/stupid to see thru the agenda.
All depends on the onlooker. If he is dumb, a bum, ignorant, uninterested, clever, cunning or wise. The final explanation is subjective to his state of mind desire agenda.
By the way money is just an exchange media. People give it all the value and that complicates it. The bank note has become the treasure instead of it being the exchange medium. Like people give value to the car and ignore the value of the road. So many millions of bank-notes lying stuffed in gunny bags blocking the spread of wealth. Consider and change your ways. By hoarding you are only enhancing their hold on your lives.
In a novel a Maharaja set in India in a mountainous region with no roads at all got a RR transported to his palace on shoulders of his men. And he would proudly go every morning to his car to start it and run the engine for a while. Owning the RR(Rolls Royce) was the important thing.
Frankly what else can be done? Superior people can't go avenging.....that would take them down the same pit that would envelope them with the same negative quarrelsome energies.
Whenever there is cheating there is always a component in the cheated that collaborated.
Best is to let be and move on. Do whatever can be done to correct the situation but without agitation.
We have to leave all behind anyway.
These are one of the most "Activated" times ever seen in recorded history of the past 4-5000 years on Earth. To survive these times humanity is being forced to increase its knowledge about the ways of this earth and the active psychology of Man. The newest component at work is a heightened awareness of the unseen world.
All together humans are under great pressure to grow from tadpole to the real. The pastoral times of tending to your farm and living away this existence quietly are over. Now you have to learn to apply like Applied physics, Applied psychology, Applied biochemistry and all other terms you can think of. It is the era of the Mind and beyond. The mundaneers have to go or suffer isolation......otherwise people from the world of science will take you for a ride.
All this talk of Dualities in our philosophical discourses is the limited mind trying to understand the unlimited. The image is of a six feet human with a six inch mind trying to understand the vastness of the huge whale in the incomprehensible ocean
In the Universe everything is one whole. There are no singularities or dualities. Only stupidities. Once we have entered the ocean of "IT IS" - there is nothing left to understand but just BE.
This need to explain the Universe and even understand it is all fake agitation designed to escape the need to first live it properly.
This is a very strong and very deep truth that humans totally ignore and ignore those who would speak of it. First they don't accept that there is anything as Grace. Humans talk of being master of their fate and life. Arrogance and Grace are totally opposed to each other. Humans live in an imagined world of words and self-made images, always hope that somebody else will take the load of their life's responsibility. They push away, literally, The Grace away.
Watch out for the man-made fake and synthetic products. The Cosmos is worried how idiotic or perhaps clever scheming of the human mind schemes to first frighten and then sell the people a frightfully useless even harmful product and promote it as a virtue.
Every now and then a new fear is floated and new deadly product introduced.
The surprise is the way the so-called thinking/intelligent human race rushes for it.
See the history from DDT times. And the consumers never seem to catch on or are they determinedly not looking?
Would it not have been better if Jesus and Buddha and all their kinds had followed the first precept of teaching that "NOthing can be taught" and left the people, the human race to make effort and realise their truths as their consciousness drove them?
In all wisdom and kindness it is thought that they are being helped but NO only good thoughts are being institutionalized and helping them to fool themselves and give the cleverer public opportunities to commercialise it all.
We WANT value for our things - what we consider its value. The other person may not ascribe to it the same value.
So as long as there is 'wanting and valuing', there is a figure floating around it. What material you use for making the exchange is immaterial. Conch shells or gold mohurs or bank notes or cheques or APPs - how does it matter?
When humans will "share" then will come Utopia. + the art of not longing nor egoistically holding on to things.
Let things come to you and let things go to others. No mine or thine.
Things will still be here when we are gone. Let those who are using it have it.
Think with your heart and all will be revealed.
Good therapists? There aren't any good ones. Can't be. To help others you need to be bigger and wider in consciousness than your patients and definitely more knowledgeable about all the things that might be affecting them. And this is true for all who go to help, treat, cure or teach.
It is part of the human comedy.
Who is a specialist?
The specialist is someone who knows everything about one something and is a highly regarded ignoramus for all practical purposes. For instance the non-expert doctor would know how to prevent fevers, prevent your gallbladder going bad and would sit by your bedside till you felt better is regarded less than the surgeon who has forgotten everything and can only operate the gallbladder out but is a potential goldmine to the hospital he works for.
In our perverted modern times the take-home amount commands the respect so the expert who is useless to most is regarded highly while the GP is a mere good guy.
These are the thought patterns that keep our nose to the grinding wheel and perpetuate old thinking patterns - Patterns that satisfy, rationalize and justify. So CHANGE as an effort need not be.
Neither be silent nor be too actively out-spoken -- avoid being quarrelsome.
Your effort is written in your destiny. This life here is a learning process. Quietening down is advice given to overactive people who are basically ignorant too.
Mostly all thoughts of being/doing good collapse when the ego is pinched & offended.
This world needs a lot of shutting up. Rights to speech or insults is different from Freedom of speech.
In marriage the natural occult forces at work bring two opposites together.
When both the partners are starting from the point of 'serving' each other's welfare there is contentment and spiritual growth.
When one of the partner is 'serving' but the other is not the marriage may stumble along but not very joyfully.
When both the partners are expecting to be served, then it is a disaster.
Much is demanded and awaited of those who have been given much. Sadly only the 'LESSER' side is seen.
In the flow of things, nothing can be wrong or right. These words have no place at all. Everything is at this moment as only it can be. Why? Because it has taken many millions of moments interlinked by other moments to make this moment.
The problem is not that I am appreciated or not. I see myself and am happy with what I see.
Yet the problem remains: How do I fit in into this wider world, not of my making, over which I have no control and which is not going to change to help me fit in.
I need material sustenance and this is something not isolated. We have to work together in a universal give and take. So how do I maintain my integrity and move about in this world without being shunned?
To be seen as one of them but not allowing them entry into my world for fear of grading it down or contaminate it?
YOU ARE WHAT YOU LOVE. Tell us the things you love and love to do. Your life can be predicted as if it were a horoscope.
Consider: Suicidal, Depressive, loneliness thoughts come only to those who think they matter much. They matter exclusively and cannot see you not giving them this attention.
The problem is exacerbated by the world and therapists trying to raise their ego-maniac tendency further.
Another question is did they come into this life badly equipped, already character-formed from earlier lives or was this instilled in them new due to poor or misguided parenting.
Life is like a huge game of chess with a few hundred pieces all being played by a few hundreds of people. Every time a move is made the game starts all over again. One of these days it will be realised that there is no end. New players replace the ones that pull out. The placement of the coins keeps changing. It is a perpetual game with vexations and perplexed players.
Most people only see their end of the game and want to win.
There is no person winning this game. It is a game in which everyone learns to play and learn by play many of the tricks, gambits and gamut.
One can only enjoy the game or not.
Shocking that in the last 5000 years of scientifically energized education and facilitating products that has brought the world into the palm of our hands, we've managed to self-acclamatise to this creation to get along with animals whom we are busy exterminating - and we are so inordinately proud of it. Yet today the humans want only animals as children.
What in short I was trying to point at is that humans are retrograding by taking animals as their children. And hopefully the same animal pets will again teach us to become "love- Beings" human again.
Drop all your agitations and fears. Cool down your burning blood and use your mind to actually think what you are upto and where is your boat headed.
Persistence pays but wisdom is in knowing when to change tack.
Nobody ever lets us down. Our anticipation of the traffic and steering of the vehicle is at fault.
Real people are the ones living by higher principles, master of their emotions, intelligent and well informed. They don't really need too many people around them as this is a distraction and waste of time. They have good friends but the friends also are 'real' people. The personality of real people is quite complete. They don't need to pretend or play charades. They are wise enough to understand that they are not required everywhere and they don't require others so much as they are self-sufficient.
These people are masters. People need them more than they need people. So people are always ready to serve them -- the people who serve them benefit greatly. It is well established fact that the Unreal people have to work on their personas anyway to reach a better maturity.
Most humans suffer from acute laziness and are simply incapable or unwilling to take care of their own interests. They are fodder for slavery anyway.
What image is being projected? Is it of a debonair, relaxed yet primed, crisp and clear speech and articulation, purposeful activities without loss of energy, succinct precise in thought and action and always calm and on top of the situation without useless emotional dramatics. A master is not to be trifled with nor is it is easy to disturb his poise. He listens, observes and misses not a trick. This is to be emulated.
Humans need to enlarge their hearts and spirits and again become more the divine beings they can be instead of the murderous hordes we have shown ourselves to be.
Life on earth is not easy. The parameters at play here are loaded on the side of "INSINCERITY, appeasement, ego & vanity play, basic irresponsibility and greed".
Being NICE always requires a little reshaping of the story because humans cannot stomach the truth specially if it is not palatable, this is not exactly lying, but it is practiced by all of us to keep the social environment a little happy.
No-one is always clinically truthful.
When we are not accurate in the telling, when we are being insincere you will feel you are supporting the evil world but what can you do? To survive in this world do whatever has to be done but stop at doing harm. Avoid situations where lying would be needed like social gatherings, politics & marketing of fake products.
It is also to be considered that most of the time it matters little to the world what we are doing so why bother so much? We have to avoid giving this world ammunition to take us down. What they don't know will not hurt them. There are so many considerations in the balance of our judgments.
But the moment we step into the world of self-improvement where we wish to become more Divine, Insincerity has to go. And this is the crux.
Can our minds get around to grasping these words?
None of us are honest to our own selves. We allow unlimited number of harmful habits to make their homes in us. WE listen to our desires who want their ounce of pleasure even if it destroys us.
Even when fully cognizant of the harm we are doing we continue.
On the other hand we have the gumption to go about teaching goodness. love, charity, truthfullness and responsible living - what not.
HOW does it never occur to anyone to start with the SELF?????
Thinking of the dead.
The person who we are missing because we need them is back into the elements and not missing us.
It is sobering thought.
A thought that we have tried to subvert with concepts of continued existence in heaven, with pictures of corporeal identity of separateness etc.
But along with the pain of missing them a fact needs to be accepted & grasped that the reality is that no-one will miss us for our "SELF" but for the support we gave them.
Who really knows another? No one; without exception.
Let people work out their karma.
Don't tell people to run away.
From the spiritual evolution angle this advice is good only in extreme cases.
Life creates situation to help us learn from the trauma. Difficult people teach us detachment, contemplation and resolve. What is needed is self-education and understanding of human nature and what makes us tick. It shows our vanity that we cannot do much about it. The soul will tell you when to move on. This is when you need to move without looking back.
Humans prefer entrapment because we are afraid to lose whatever little we have.
Instead of becoming more human filled kindness we are moving towards "FEELING BETTER" by focussing on animal pets. It is so easy to feel superior with this attitude and this kind of parenting and show ourselves as virtuous.
Of course this enhances our vanity, reduces stress levels. The interaction with our humans is full of treachery and trauma even in the best of times.
Illnesses are becoming chronic and mutating into serious non-treatable forms and there seems to be great pride in having them to show how bravely the patients are sporting it. Humans use the word "battle" what nonsense. When we allow the symptoms to be tolerated and suppressed by many means we are only permitting the illness to become chronic. This 'Attitude' has become an illness, quite well defined, by itself.
There are so many magical drugs and potions available to mask the symptoms and give instant relief that it is something that the serious sickness was bound to happen.
Ever wondered that the human race has played into the hands of the Hospital industry and acutely chronic illnesses are forever demanding more and more expensive hospital intervention for as long as life lasts.
Blame squarely the people to allow things to reach this state of affairs and to top it all - nobody agrees that it is so. So what is to be done? Nothing
Want to achieve and arrive at happiness? Create something with love and kindness. It can be a moment and it can be a thing. The greatest creative moment is when you are doing something totally new to you and it brings joy to others even if it is only for a fleeting moment. What is asked of you is that you go beyond yourself, trying to work out a wish. Extend the borders you are living in.
Don't let life stagnate.
What we call LIFE is a collection of 'moments'. What we call memories are some of these moments stringed together. The worse are the memories of those moments filled with expectations, deeds done, rewards missed and opportunities missed because of our principles.
Later in life we realize that there are no principles and no rewards will ever be forthcomings from moments that have flown. The worse are the lost moments that were considered as moments of great glory in which we were appreciated and feted.
Have we moved with the times and are we fully participating in the 'Present Moment?'
Can we be like the lark that sings every morning and lives only for the day that is coming?
It is a sad world for people who never moved and expected that some moments will carry them on forward; when too late they realize the bus they thought would take them further is not even there. Gone with the wind.
The sadness of the decorated veteran is the worst. He was made to kill and suffer in all ways possible and was taught to treat it all as 'GLORY' but soon forgotten and his skills were of no use to life in general.
I wonder what goes on in the minds of medicine-men, teachers and even savage louts when their time of action is passed when they realize no one is thinking of them anymore?
Later in life when we have come to the understanding that we were serving a purpose in the march of time in the great flowing of the Cosmos -- we can only sit and ponder. Humans in their minds forget in their arrogance that they are NOT running the world.
To presume that Kindness can be a thought-out act is a great unkindness to the subject in question.
Theologists, sociologists, psychologists may say that just wanting is enough. Love will do the right thing. But where is this great Love they all talk of.
But No. Real kindness comes from deep within.
People who have found god thru religion are the worst. Their very religion is a put up job. What do they know of kindness? They have usurped charity to call it kindness like they have usurped the word love to mean sex.
The mind may imitate by qualifying certain gestures and pat itself for being kind but it knows that it is all a sham. When the soul has evolved thru darkness and after trials and tribulations come into the light, Kindness comes with it.
To prevent the SOUL's coming to the front a meticulous THOUGHT-WORLD is now operative in the earth's atmosphere. It uses words to distort and create images that help to keep up a display of lies and mixed truths with no clarity.
The Human Animal is quite happy with its cruel greedy state.
When you criticize me, you are not showing me to myself or others. You are showing yourself to me and others.
When you give me advice it is worse as you show clearly in which world you live.
When 'THEY' speak or explain old sacred texts remember always one thing, all their words will only show the level of their own realisation because no-one can speak beyond his own realisation of whatever it all is. All your reading/learning and cleverness notwithstanding.
From the writings of others you can only glimpse superficially who and what they are or at least perhaps trying to say. All that will happen is that you will look within and know yourself eventually and know what is what.
But never become a tame servant follower and limit yourself to their words. That is akin to spiritual death.
Complaint: The phone is full of spiritual memos being sent by cousins and friends.
Yes. Unfortunately none of it translates into behavior though. It remains a show-off exercise in virtuousness; meaningless and even assisting to remain backward.
Nothing scares people more than someone with strong intents with so much love for life and earth that they feel threatened and go hiding away in their sand-castles. Teach your child not to fall for this 'love' thing that humans profess. The child must learn to FEEL who cares and who are pretending. Success lies in understanding the selfishness in word and deeds.
Everything coming out as some new development and products from the human mind has for result a lowering of consciousness. It is a very systematic organisation catering to the need of the Senior Demon that IS technically a god in his own right and technically running the world ( as of now).
Normally the moronic human when he talks or sees God he is really seeing this Demi-god of a Demon in his sparkling Light-form.
Very few humans are able to cross this barrier of perception to arrive at the real Divine realm.
If you want peace, stay away from all mind-driven concepts. Have self-control and review yourself periodically and ask yourself if you are being used or are The User of products and services; an uncomfortable feeling always follows when we move against our soul's wishes. Maintain your integrity and simplicity of life and desires/thinking as near to Nature as possible.
They fill the moronic heads with new concepts and create new needs that they then jump in to fill up with new products and services.
It is a deliberate and calculated subversion of the mass subconscious thru the multi-media available to influencers today. The brilliance of the maneuver has to be applauded.
It looks like humanity's thinking, whatever little superficial of it is in action has been beautifully being used by the corporations for ending up in control of the masses.
For the time being this is the reality & self-destructive.
Until humanity rises above its 'moron' level of non-thinking 'lead-happily-by-the-nose' behavior - things will not change.
Certainly the obvious to some now will eventually become visible to all but it is not happening for some time yet.
Our job is to make our observations known. We cannot allow ourselves to be snowed down. + It is a matter of our own integrity to maintain our level of consciousness. But we rarely do. We allow ourselves to get trapped in the great "fit-in" process to remain an active, important, well-fed part of the civilised society and civilisation.
What is this thing called GOD?
IF it is the same Guy who put me here where I am with nasty wife/husband, jobless without an income, with serious incapacitating illness or some such hateful situation, then why would he jump in to get us out if it all just because we ask Him to?
Instead why don't we use our mind and muscles to find ways and means to get out of the predicament we 'think' we are in?
It is shocking how we use our mind by jumping to wishful conclusions and dig a bigger hole for ourselves.
Renouncing to become a monk is akin to going from one household to another. Most are running from the difficult task of living with woman/children, other relatives who impose their rights. Humans miss the great God-given possibility of rising above it all. Don't run away.
I have seen many monks and many adherents in Ashrams. They are simply enjoying the time of this lifetime without having to worry about a household and necessity to earn, comfortably ensconced and feeling virtuous at the same time.
Unfortunately the thinking pattern of the populace supports them.
We need to learn about life and find ways and means to improve life to live successfully in this not-so-ideal world. The main point is that humanity needs to change many of its thought patterns that are keeping it stuck in an evil world of bad intentions for short-term gains. With a little understanding of the Forces at play and a little change in our attitude we can win in this world and better our circumstances.
Why is the world going back to 'controls'?
The cyclic mix of Christian morality and Victorian correctness is returning. The kings used this to control and now they realise that they are losing it. Uniqueness is not wanted.
Just go back in history and you'll see that the Inquisition did exactly what the Covid protocols are doing today.
People deep down know that they are a dirty lot and would therefore improve the world which would exclude the need to do anything on their lovely selves.
Yes they'll go for blood tests, mammograms, colonoscopies and so many other idiotic persuasions just because they have been mesmerised to think that this way they'll live longer.
How easily they have made us forget that Death has its own agenda. That the body would tell them what ails it if they would only listen. And that there is no real reason to be sick if it not were for all the sickness they are deliberately launching at us.
As to sickness if we would be just a little aware, it can be stopped at the first sign thru much easier, cheaper and safer methods.
"Some people are at peace only when they are fighting".
Humans are still predominantly beings of physical and materialistic characters. Only a very small miniscule percentage is psychically open to things like well-intentioned living, sensitive to the spirit world and all the interconnecting silk-strings that bind us.
Most of our valour even today shows off in our ability to shout somebody down, throw somebody out, rob with impunity, push, shove and murder.
Bullying comes naturally to some and followers gather around them to give them force and derive sustenance from the bully for their own nefarious streams of thought.
In helpless situations where authority is at the back of a person (example: policemen, teachers, bosses) brutality with impunity shows its face. How can/does belting another make you greater? I am afraid for this world.
Even in something as interdependent, based on love like marriages, bullying, accusations and violence is common though mostly it is subtle.
It does not augur well.
Every known Corporation is feeding off them but they are so full of their superior position in life and so complexed with their personal superiority that they will never see how their Soul is being sucked dry by the infinite demonic world.
I have never seen such a bevy of bewildered souls, frightened to show their faces in this tsunami of materialistic, almost magical gadgetry. They are constantly adding to the content of poison in their lives and soon should be choking on it.
The souls can see it. While eternity waits for our sanity to return.
When in pain..... when humbled by our arrogance, humans ask for forgiveness to Gods; a temporary phenomenon where it is dreamt that Krishna will save them from all this pain; Jesus will absorb all sins. All we need to do is say some prayers, light lamps or candles and all will be well. Whatever little of our intelligence is ....is convinced of this. ("why"... just ask)
But the consequences are governed by Karma. The gods have no role to play! Your old good karmas may help you out but the gods can only smile and bless you for whatever is to come.
How in their 'GOODNESS' they only create chaos.
Take the chair as an example of our evolution. Notice how the chairs are becoming more and more comfortable, public friendly, ergonomic and supposedly "humane" because all have "rights" to comfort and dignity as being important. What has this given us? A bunch of entitled softies who have little tolerance, little resilience and are not fit for this harsh world and life because this life has its own way to make humans see the light without caring a whit for feelings, respect and such nonsense.
This talk of Ego, blaming all ills on this trait has become a way to avoid the issue. Blaming others comes easily to humans and feeling superior is the end-result of criticising others, events and even god.
I wonder if people are even conscious that they are a mushy collections of vibes and thoughts from here and there; all operating thru the subconscious.
In real spiritual/occult terms an individual means somebody with a highly self-contained soul as many have explained. Just using the "I" and having a separate body does not make us an individual which is in daily use a legal term for practical purposes of ownership certificates.
In the spiritual world of reality there are very few (to be counted on fingers of one hand) individuals with clean-cut parameters, living by a clear and distinct agenda with total self-control that cannot be swayed or tempted.
This is why in yogic training - the first focus is to create an individual persona that can be offered to the divine for transmutation into a divine self.
But most people satisfy themselves with playing with words and think that they have arrived.
Like on a clear sky day with calm sea in front and you can see clearly for miles away, you'll see lives are happy and joyful full of wonder and laughter till the day they decide to fall into the clutches of the pleasures of sex. Not knowing this is the moment other Forces, invisible and visible enter life's horoscope and humans end up being swallowed by things beyond them. This starts a journey which is like falling in quick-sand. The more effort is made to find equilibrium, the more complex and suffocating it gets. The subconscious rules. The big belief that they are building creating is utterly false; in the end there is nothing to show for it. It is the start of the engulfment from which there is no return.
So what is to be done? Be kind but tough. Do not prevaricate or compromise with what you understand will do harm. Help others but do not get emotionally ensnared their destinies. Think and act. Step back before getting into anything. Check if you are not frittering away your POWER. Note how it may eventually enslave you in the social/legal trap that is the human condition. All investments and effort go into a family. Future dreams are expected to flourish through children. What a serious mistake! They will all go their way!! Nothing will remain!!! Death will take away the remnant!!!!
Co-exist peacefully is just another meaningless word. Humans never intended to and never showed any disposition in action and activities. Everything we humans do is to expand the arena of their influence.
Solutions are being avoided. Harsh decisions are being studiously ignored.
One of the biggest activities in this domain is of changing and converting others to our way of thinking in the name of salvation of their lives. Total BS this business of saving humanity...it is just so much water under the bridge...flowing, flowing...leaving everything ever the same.
Let us focus on changing ourselves to be receptacles of higher vibes so that God can reach down and live on earth thru us and thru others touched by us... as an effortless automatic occurrence.
Thinking short.
We like it or not but we all immediately or shortly classify everybody in our minds into neat slots; assumptions based on our preferences, our exposure to the world at large and our theoretical knowledge of life. Think bigger, wider and with greater kindliness.
Once the people are placed in their proper categories the ones who do not fall into any category are or used to be called eccentrics but they were given their due as being of some special importance. Today this erratic breed is called by different names as promoted by Marx. I don't agree but that is another matter. Eventually these eccentrics became the dangerous ones and were designated as founders of disturbing the peace. Today when you don't go along with the crowd you are easily picked up by the police as a possible terrorist -- frightening the establishment with horrible new thoughts. This is a sad and dangerous trend. Put a stop to it now.
It is also a fact that this majority on non-thinkers and their lassitude has given rise to the few powerful families that control the entire economy of the world and the lives of the plebian horde. They are being called 1% but nobody is prepared to call a spade a spade that the 99% is instrumental in helping them to maintain their control by being enslaved to the few comforts they provide.
Come to think of it, if the world is still running smoothly it is because these comfortably placed minds do not interfere in the working of this planet; and they are in the majority. The BIG Issue that is swept under the carpet is that they are also permitting the minority to get away with murder.
What are you doing about it? A little grumbling in the pub won't do anything.
Real power is in being out of this crowd. Mastery of our selves seen thru control and awareness of our managing agents which are our reactionary emotions like greed, selfishness, anger, jealousy and need for appreciation.
Basically there is one predominant trend in humans and this trend now at its peak in the 21st century. This trend is consumerism, being distracted, create dissatisfaction which can be alleviated only by more products and activities that require constant titillation.
But human nature is bigger than the character seen today and vaster. We have the possibility of enhancing and sharpening our mind & bodies to a point that we can do wonders which would be called miracles.
But all the methods that have evolved in different parts of the world have one thing in common. Distractions have to be reduced and in the end stopped. Focus and concentration have to be enhanced. The focus on pleasure and wasting energy on pleasures has to be curtailed.
Of course the question does come up as to why anyone would want to do it.
And this is what it is all about.
There is nothing wrong with the world/life. We've over analyzed ourselves into a neurotic depression.
There are a lot of positive, learned and great healers around in this world. Digital communications has even made it easy to find them. Even if we take just 1% of the world population that would make 70 million + of them. Then why we do not see more people cured. Rather the world is sicklier than it has ever been.
For one thing the focus is now on relief not betterment or cures.
Secondly what happens is that when people go to healers or they randomly even read advice that hits them between their eyes/forehead as the answer, they are swayed for a moment but the moment they go back to the comfort of their peers, they return to their milieu and the old pattern of thinking, their old fears and the comfort of their tried and known values and way of working takes over and they revert to type; losing out on the grace and gift that had come to them. Can humanity change this trend?
So it is best to take this into your calculations before expending your energies on futile wasteful human projects.
Don't forget that it is the soul that provides the energy and you have no right to waste it or fritter it away. Never forget the SOUL knows and can as easily withdraw.
And when it does that you will be just another corpse on the cold slab in a mortuary.
YOU dear sir, are in mental public place. Shoulder to shoulder with a throbbing voluble crowd that is jostling you around. There is a commonness of thinking and beliefs so you are quite comfortable. You are all picking up some thoughts here and some thoughts there; exchanging them at the drop of a hat. It is lively and an engaging scene.
You are not one of the crowd. You are THE Crowd with the great pride of being an individual just because you can see your shoulder separately from that of others. But at the mental level there is no intellectuality; whatever little there is gets submerged in the sea of thoughts around you.
The Way is too contrary.
There is a cry for health but the real healer is perplexed. Does he treat the symptoms or the person? It is an impossible question.
Today's lifestyle and living has made us open all our windows and doors and no restrictions are imposed on the comings and goings. We are constantly and continuously allowing "God-knows-what" to hover over and around us.
Look at humanity: they are at home but our defenses are breached by the TV and smart phone. Insidiously they are affecting our thinking and feelings and influencing us.
We leave home and the crowd's vibe envelops us. What thoughts and feelings are in momentum? We don't know. Individual interactions are worse. Whose strong vibes or demands, jealousy, secret agendas are in the air? We have no idea.
We eat. Is the food truly what your body needs? You don't know and couldn't much care. Where did you pick your food habits from? Who cooked the food and imbibed it with what thoughts and vibes. We don't even know what ingredients have gone into it. We have no idea yet we live in the arrogance that we know and are in control of our existence.
We couldn't be more wrong.
Your integrity simply does not exist.
When the element that is making you sick is so uncertain, how can you be treated? What normally happens is that when the illness becomes visible and obvious a serious attempt is made to remove the obviously offending part. It is pure eye wash.
Why humans are more in pain than ever in history?
As life gets more and more complicated with gadgetry the avenues for self-satisfaction and excitement rise. There has been an exponential increase in the speed and quantity of things that we can do at any given time. All our acts and projects are invitations to Providence to play the fool with us.
We are running helter-skelter at high speeds all over the globe; we leave all windows and doors open for the world at large to enter our personal space and waste a lot of time and energy in protecting ourselves. The poor SOUL that provides the energy simply collapses. Humans have deluded themselves that their sexual fantasies are LOVE. The consequences are all around to see.
There are love relationships. But sex is not it. It is not what happens exclusively between two humans physically. In the last few decades it has been promoted as a transaction to sell goods and services. It has removed the humaneness from our living together as a people. Everything now is calculated in the value it brings and on the basis of "what is in it for me?
Love is a bond of commitment, of appreciation and feeling wonderful. You love a flower, a sunset, your child, your car, your existence, a stray and your coffee with the same intensity. This is something that you have all the time for everything in existence. It comes from joy and gratefulness. It moves something deep inside you that you have to spread around because there is nothing else.
But comfort and safety from the elements has made us bold. In fact too bold -- so bold that we have shelved our intelligence and delegated it to the lowest drawer. We allow the world to poison our lives, we sport illnesses and allow them to fester, we wallow in loneliness and depression....most of us are crossing over to the other shores in pain on ventilators -- is this the life we envisioned as the wonderful episode... Where death is the last refuge?
Heard this: Oh it does not matter. A short visit to the hospital and all will be well.
There are consequences though for life has to go on.
We are part of the Universe. Togetherness is the key tempered with solitary silences.....why is humanity so averse to seek enjoyment in itself. We humans have vast potential to joy and be joyful. It is all in the mind and how we regulate our thinking because after all the thoughts jostling in our heads have come from somewhere outside of us.
Creativity is being killed by computers. A great amount of standardisation is creeping in. Copy paste and stealing is becoming easy.
It is helping by making the non-learned (those who are not putting the effort to learn and improve themselves) acceptable. But also reducing the field of acceptance for the really brilliant ones who are in a way being edged out.
This standardization can be seen everywhere in design, colors, teaching and such.
Why does the human character not change?
There is a very simple explanation to this phenomenon. The human identifies itself with the mind. It is a lovely world and he is quite content. Why should "man" want change?
The mind is 100% partnership with the physical mind of the five senses. Both these worlds of the mind and physical mind are a parallel universe with an interesting element called 'imagination'. This allows the human persona to create an imagined world for itself with unlimited possibilities. This, + the world's comforts keep the human persona bound to the universe of the mind.
Mother Nature has all cards stacked in her favor. After experiencing life for the average of span of 70 years, wisdom starts dawning on the human mind but Mother nature clips the wings with death and progress stops short right there.
The spirit world with unlimited power does attract them and many are able to shift from the physical intellectual mind to the Intuitive mind which shows them the real world of many other worlds but most humans are afraid to lose whatever they have. The lure of greater things is not great enough.
Reading is good but eventually a time come in life like after reading 2000 or so books one must stop and start putting the learning into practice, into use and go beyond our habits. Reading must stop. People say they read to expand the mind but normally it is just more of the same thing. Simply reading can devolve into like watching TV; a habit taking you nowhere.
Like the Whirling Dervishes going round and round in a big hall. There is a lot of activity, even change of places and clothes etc but nothing 'real' is happening. There is no change at the consciousness level and even the Whirling becomes boring -- a habit.
WE have reduced our ends to four:
1) Food is just taste. If it tastes good, it must be wonderful.
2) Medicine is "relief" from pain and discomfort and it is "cure"
3) Education is reduced to collecting Degrees and Diplomas.
4) Life is in the pursuit of fun.
What shall I do? He asks me.
My answer: From what you have told me you understand all the pros and cons of the situation. The answer is also clear to you. All you need to do is have the courage to get going.
I can tell you what is keeping you back.
Mostly people suffer from their habits. That is where the change is needed.
Think -- which responses of yours are the one that add to your stress, problems? Have a good fresh look at yourself.
When somebody says 'I don't agree with this' -- to me it means just this: This person has no experience of this subject.
The bubble most people live in cannot be allowed to burst so the only alternative rests in finding arguments to deny and disagree.
Problematic situation and episodes are given to us to surmount/solve; not run away from.
Most of the life's scenarios in our lives are the result of some pattern within us. So the final solutions are in self-understanding and removing the offending glitches from our system.
Try to associate your life with these words: Awareness, precise, honest, true, courageous, learning, solving issues by more learning and growth of consciousness. Put your SOUL first and its needs. The Soul knows what needs to be done and will organize your life for the better.
Just be quiet and pay attention to it. One thing can be advocated in simple terms: do not let or promote the selfishness of others. Don't get enveloped in their scheming.
If you allow your intuitive mind to grow and spread, you will see that although our stories are as varied as the number of people on earth, there is an extremely common thread running through it all.
We all have the same elements powering us. For a moment let me digress and compare it to cars - like whatever be the brand, shape or color and comforts added to a car the basic is an engine on 4 wheels with a gear system, brakes and steering wheel.
To elaborate further we humans have the same components as a body, a mind and set of emotions with lots of 'amour-propre'; the mind has a way of functioning which is quite similar in all of us and our actions and reactions are basically quite common.
Makes one wonder why humans don't understand each other or perhaps they do too well and use it to take advantage of each other.
Take a sampling of let us 1000 humans from all over and we shall see that more than 90% have a lack of determination, strength of conviction to exercise their will, the ability to say NO and stick to it; specially when their own mind is telling them to do or not do something. These people allow others, emotional needs or temptations to sway them easily.
The ability to know clearly what is acceptable and what not and then stick to our convictions is not exactly a natural god-given trait. See how easily company of family, teachers, friends can insist us to join them in their activities and we readily follow; how easily we make bad choices and imprint on ourselves; we imbibe bad habits that control us for the rest of our lives.
Becoming master of our mind is something that comes only by arduously training the mind and its control over the emotions and bodily activity.
But I have seen this is not so simple. Destiny, fate and karma and our preparations from past lives all have a say in the formation of character. Resolute behavior, the ability to choose the best response to products and people and circumstances needs a lot of good education and experience of life that one life-time can rarely give.
The hassles of dealing with insincere people who in their cleverness only double and triple the hassles in everyone's lives is the bane of this earth. "I am not here". Just try this trick on yourself: Go AWOL from yourself. Announce to yourself that you are not there. Let the phone ring, the doorbell ring, do not come out; don't be there!
The peace of not being here is such a wonderful holiday and rejuvenating.
See how they mindlessly lunge for the phone at its calling; like Pavlov's dogs! A bell has more hold over them like the wind on chimes....and these same people go strutting about as master of their destinies and arrogantly announcing that every moment of their lives is a thought out and planned out to the last second of their lives in all that happens.
We are just another nail in the scheme of things. "Important" only as long as we are there yet we live as if the world runs because we are here. In this case forget your grumblings and your complaints. For those who would have peace and quiet, BE the real master of their puny lives..."NOT being here" is an important, almost the only factor that is important.
Forget this incessant talk of reaching heaven, the higher Consciousness, the Superlatives techniques to attain powerful personas. All this is great but how about focussing on the primaries first.
Respect the circadian rhythm
Eat less poisonous food.
Drink less poisonous drinks.
Cut down on electrical light, sugar, noise and speech, activities that suck energies out of us..
And even better....
Add reading, increase knowledge about maintaining health instead of popping pills that are known to cause damage, promote into our daily routine things like silence, classical music, philosophical attitude to life, slowing down and avoiding quarrels.
Honestly this game that humanity plays with itself is really amazing. They refuse to play it straight and clean but talk and waste our lives in directing attention to issues that hide our insincere and corrupt efforts to seek pleasure at the cost of loss to the Creation and brotherhood. Something that is sheer escapism and all designed to "SEEM" but without any truthful striving for change.
The addiction to pleasure is a truth that we blithely ignore because for us it is being LIFE itself and thereby keeping us locked up in perpetuity.
Funny little masters of the universe.
Having high IQ, learning, problem solving skills is all useless on this earth where 99% cannot appreciate you if you have really acquired a superior education and training, DONT really NEED you and will see you as an embarrassment & reject you.
It is sad. Of course prayers help and a positive vibes matter but will only prayers from a distance help? Will they penetrate the walls that humans have built around their personas? Will the dirty waters we are submerged in up to our necks become cleaner? NO. Somewhere a change is demanded and we the patient have to initiate it.
The question is can anyone help?
Healing needs change. Are we mentally ready for change?
Otherwise it is quite a given that if you keep on doing the same things, the end results will also be the same.
We want to be treated without anything changing around us or within us.
The body has a simple memory system that records everything. (please note that I am NOT talking of the mental memory but a which is an entirely different thing).
Too many activities at the same time or in speedy succession can confuse the subliminal memory of the physical/material body and deregulate its memory and cause stress. This is the basic reason behind advising - to eat simple fare and not to do many things at a time -- give yourself "SELF-quiet" time to contemplate and allow the body its minimum requirement of rest.
Older cultures that were closer or are closer to nature, reflect and practice this understanding of stillness and taking help from the subtle memory. Even Homoeopathy is very near to this understanding - it depends on the memory contained in the physical-material envelop of the earth to activate the healing process.
People are not interested. Humans do not see - do not want to see - the connection in the long term effects of most activities. Habits and immediate pleasures are the prime motivators. And we live in a style that takes away from Nature that we integrally are.
Today the doctors are not interested, have no time and the patients are too lazy and too much in doubt.
The choices we made are responsible. The responsibilities we have taken have to be completed. Occultly, running away is not an option. Anyway wherever we go we carry ourselves and the vibes/situations/problems of similar nature will again surround us because we happen to be in the state we are and the Cosmos organises our life specifically to our needs around the vibes we emanate.
Attend to your moments as they come. Go step by step as your evolution opens up the vista to you.
People don't understand WHAT AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MENTAL AND PSYCHIC ENERGY it is to look for answers for which questions have not yet cropped up in your psyche. It is pure intellectual gymnastics and useless - it may even take you on the wrong road.
ASK.
How is this subject of any interest to you or anyone - really? Besides being high grade philosophical gossip? What profound answer will it give you to take care of the INSTANT you are living in now? Addressing situations that are not there and do not matter.
Really, we live in a Fool's paradise.
We humans are born & live in small knit groups and rarely look beyond it. We are satisfied to be accepted in this small group of family, neighbours, school-friends and later in life - work place friends.
We are formed deeply by this little family we are born with and end up living in with. This is real and the emotional bonds created are the only real thing with any meaning.
Everyday contact and memories from this closeness is all most us can visualise as life and our world. Deep relationships are formed only by close contact living.
Even close relatives but with whom we have not lived don't really count.
There is a lot of great information and it does make one think. But mostly when it goes to an unprepared mind the result is a turning of the back and resistance. We need to de-link ourselves totally from the past symbolisms and get in touch with everything all over again by reconnecting with the Intuitive Intelligence based on our personal experience.
The mind is a slave to the body and arrogant like hell. It is always in a tearing hurry for instant gratification. It is a victim of its own intelligence. If it could be lazy in action and more active in 'waiting" to see how things develop - observe how the cat plans before it pounces.
If only it were as simple as that. The masses suffer because they do not want to see beyond their noses and are ready to sacrifice their neighbor for their own existence. It is stupidity in action. The elite are clever enough and ruthless enough to carry their wishes forward. The masses prefer their small tiny world and are afraid of every bark. So what can we expect?
Now that I have dived into the sea of human nature and visited all the 5 oceans -- what is next? I can't get to them and as I am an alien to them they are not interested in getting to me. It is the same earth for us but two different planets. How do we co-exist? We are not even close.
This life? Much ado about nothing. Remain as you are and be ready for death. Life's a joke. Death's the serious one.
Normally we are born with a lot of kindness but the harsh condition the child meets later changes the basic nature in many different ways. As the child grows older it learns to protect itself and then it absorbs behavior patterns from his immediate surrounding and learns to do things the way it sees others doing it. Until the child is also shown and taught that kindness can bring in more rewards than brute sadistic action, the child will never know better. It is all a matter of exposure and examples set by peers.
At the physical-material level of life there is no doubt that if we don't go and do it, it will not get done so there is a huge arrogance behind our thinking telling us that we are the absolute "DOERS" and nothing will happen without our intervention.
It is true that farms won't raise crops by themselves, the factories won't produce by themselves, houses won't get built on their own.
But the calamity that hounds humans health is this fact that this attitude is now behind the practice of medicine in which we start with the assumption that the body is stupid. Are we forgetting that humans have been here for millions of years and were managing to stay alive?
The error in human thinking is that humans do not know when to stop and where to let things alone. Their knowledge of the human body is very superficial and they have conveniently forgotten that they are here by Mother Nature's grace for a very small time.
So in the final analysis there is a wave of thought that has gripped mankind that vaccines will save them. They genuinely believe in it. The powers that be and the money power behind it are pushing it as it seems plausible and is a godsend opportunity to make money.
The psychological factor of the placebo is always there. These interventions by human developed products are only disrupting the existing immune system and could be of use only for those who have weak resistances. This should not be a universal program.
There are so many things being done wrong and have brought upon this state of affairs where the Earth is being literally destroyed; but who cares? The ease of life and living becomes the principle deciding factor in our decisions. This generation, will it be the last one? Human cleverness is very good in masking problems instead of solving them.
It is a human trait to jump to conclusions, avoid the subject, obstruct and obfuscate. We glorify the apparent & look for soft, easy options with little sincerity. Is it so difficult to be basically honest?
Does anyone care? Thousands of years have passed and we have all the learning we need but humans do not learn or change one tiny bit?
Learning remains in the books, gods remain in the temples and humans remain where they are!
They have outsourced their thinking to the TV.
They have sold their Soul to the Doctors and shop-keepers.
When they speak, it is only about the irritants in their lives and about all the stupid things happening all over the world which has mostly nothing to with them. Their understanding of life seems to be limited to their immediate wishes and desires and their fulfillment; they know nothing about nothing outside their cellphone "system." To be honest that is all one human can handle. Yet the fact stares us in the eye that we are not alone and depending on Earth for sustenance; this cannot be lost on us.
How do you expect them to do anything positive for this earth in the long term?
The people have so little concern for their selves. These youngsters have been made to believe that they can take care of themselves and the world is their oyster. Too much positivity is in the air. Everywhere you see memes and exhortations and books that talk only of how great the human race is and that it is capable of super feats. It has become toxic.
From this point in the Cosmos one sees only great development in the "War-trade". War and multiplying their monetary accumulation seems to be the only focus. If suffering has to be, it is accepted to impose on a great swathe of humans who are expected to die for it all. Where is positivity and growth in this? The question that should be bothering the human race now is how to stop this trend. But there is too much glorification. A few medals matter more than the gravestones the victors helped create in thousands. The earth returns to itself; the humans to their imbecility.
Very improbably the humans are slowly getting used to hurting from a great distance in great safety. Even on media like Facebook we have so many people abusing and being nasty just because they know that they are safe behind their keyboards.
Carrying guns on the pretext of self-defense is just a game of words. It is general nastiness being projected in one way or another. Humans are a nasty lot.
The entire crux of living is to recognise the truth of our Being and the entwining waves lapping around us and live understanding those confines.
Yes humans keep on creating images inside their heads and imagine that this is part of the Actuality and which in truth clearly is the Reality that has formed thru their own devices and senses.
We start seeing things correctly only when we take on a dispassionate disposition.
The first step is to accept this fact. Cussedness and misplaced pride is the bar. The curtains then start falling away.
Sincere deciphering of the world will show how humans have been in error earlier and will continue to be so if no effort is made towards change and betterment. The attachments we have make us blind to things we do not want to see and glorify everything we do want to see. This is the reason our judgments are mostly in error about others and a lot of everyday things that we assume and act upon. Tragic consequences are an everyday occurrence.
The Futility of Being SEEN separate and Different.
In our quest for being seen as exclusive in some way, how much effort goes into imprisoning ourselves in activities that are of no value to the Mother earth and/or friends and family and give us really no exclusivity worth talking about?
Do you realise you MISunderstand more than you understand.
That is your miniscule persona making sure that you don't grow and stay an idiot because otherwise it will lose all control on you and the life it is enjoying thru you? And that this is the state of the majority of humans.
So we are really unknowingly deliberately confounding issues to avoid the need and effort to grow, understand and make any effort to learn.
Parents; are you listening? Don't blame your children in later years.
Right from the day we are born all our actions and reactions are based on what we need at that moment and what attracts us at that particular moment of our age and evolution.
But the selfish basis is easily perceived at every moment and in children the element of generosity is very high but unfortunately our education and cultures are founded on "selfishness and the rules of possession" and soon, gradually we inculcate this in a big way to make them predominantly our motive force.
From a very general view of things, all the scientific interventions made thru the brilliance of minds coming from the better educated and tech based worlds, one word stands out: "Side-effects". There are just too many and none of them praiseworthy. I think all this progress has only made people sicklier, & dumber. The argument that people are living longer is so immature - we do not have a good reason to live longer...!!
Do you feel that their ways will hurt them or lead them into disaster? Then instead of getting angry at all the stupidity around you, just remove the sharp objects from their path. Let them bumble along; happy in your company. Contentment is already theirs. Why perturb them and lose your own center of calm?
Life is the fine result of our stresses that we impose on ourselves thru our thoughts, emotions and activities (this includes food). Do we really know; really know from the level of consciousness of the Cosmos? Yet, wanting to put the switch on is the problem -- we are content with a little candlelight. The shadows allow us to hide and what we do not see can easily be ignored.
It doesn't really matter in the final analysis.
Philosophically speaking, finally all that matters is the "learning" acquired in this lifetime. In the human condition as it is now in the evolutionary process, "SUFFERING" plays a big part. How one chooses to suffer is totally another ball game and not very important because we all learn the same lessons in the end. But there is this point that we could perhaps reduce our traumas by going along with Mother Nature more.
It is human character to think that we are complete and whatever we are doing is also complete; minds are not vast enough to encompass too many subjects in depth. The little they know seems to serve them well.
Because they are unable to manipulate healthy individuals, psychopaths must first manufacture insanity and chaos. This gives them the power & control that they seek over loving, compassionate human beings.
The whole of society worldwide is now suffering a similar fever. It is the fever of a self-satisfied, protected people showered with wonderful magical gifts that humanity has never known in any other time in history.
They don't wish their bubbles to burst. If our ideas catch on it will destroy their peace and so they have to block it and the best way is to do it by mockery.
Instead of mocking, they could have asked questions like:
Why do they want such fast cars and then impose speed limits and seat belts?
Why they use elevators and then go to the gym for exercise?
They don't see the incongruities they are living with and mock those who would question - understandable in this motley crowd of mainly mindless humans.
The cure is worse than the disease. But then this is how the human mind works. It wants to mask weaknesses; not correct them. We want relief, not cures. And the governments have played well using this fault in humans.
Unfortunately the Universe has a different method. Blessings come to help us grow and not to give us more comforts and pleasures.
Comforts take a heavy toll, weaken the human fabric and drown individuals in misery. Blessings on the other hand strengthen us, add to our power and give contentment.
Now place yourself on the moon and look at life here on earth. When you can see all the feelings, all the thoughts going on in each head, life and heart and therefore know exactly what will happen next. You will also see the origins of the thoughts and feelings and the network of influences hidden to the human eye that control life on earth.
Then you will see objectively. So how do we get to the moon?
First shut down your mind's incessant movement. Stop thought of the repetitive kind. Start observing and simply store data. Observe and correlate without making judgments or conclusions.
Imagine you are on the moon and cannot connect.
Ask this question: Do the minds and perceptions of humans grow and mature with emerging instances as dictated by the situation?
Why care and perturb the mind with useless factoring? All I need to know - will this cup hold my tea for as long as I need to drink it!
There is more truth in satirical uttering as it permits us to say that we really wish to say without constraint and expect no come-backs. This is why many resort to making veiled insults and then laugh after they have said it to make it look as if they were joking. Humans are being shown by incidents and great Guides the way to be taken and the attitudes to be taken but old habits inculcated since thousands of years are not going to evaporate so easily without persistent effort and reminders to your heart and mind. Take care.
Life is so much more pleasurable when everything is in balance; the shapes and colors, the sounds surrounding us, the poetry in our thoughts and the prose in our hearts. But all this requires time. Harried and hurried people never realize this. In their quest for more by hurrying it all up they are only going faster to the eventual last stop - the grave. When we realize this we regain the Divine element in our human incarnation.
Study painting and Interior Design or just sit down with camera in hand and shoot whatever catches one's fancy. These activities bring observation abilities into focus and permit to savour the moment and the beauty encapsulated in the moment.
Eventually the consciousness will become so sensitive to every second and the beauty in it that no discordance will ever enter the atmosphere.
Let this year be of striving and not simply complaining.
You have to differentiate between Defending and fighting. Good players take their time & plan their moment when striking back if absolutely necessary. Often we learn to plan and wait and make the moment unnecessary by changing our vibes, the situations change on their own.
WE need solutions and we need to run away from airing grouses as if our duty is done when we have delineated the problem and blamed somebody for it and then sit back saying that "there is nothing that can be done" .
When we look back we shall see that somewhere we were, with our attitudes part of the problem. Study the question from all angles; specially from the angles we do not want to see as it points to ourselves.
When we see the answers, we need to keep them in the forefront of our memories by writing it down and looking at it every day first thing in the morning to remind our subconscious and eventually make it a new habit of thinking and doing things.
Lazy bums always blame their fate/parents to give them a bad start and do so and remain clogged at that point for the rest of their lives. It is too convenient and the rest of the world needs to stop listening to them.
The only blame they can really pin on is that the parents should not have had children when they were not in a position to give them a good start. But once they have experienced the hardship of being born to poor parents do they stop from making the same mistake? No!
Even if they find some to help them they rarely allow a helping hand to reach them as they have to contend with their pride that blocks movement, communication and trust.
They often do not have the aspiration required to get out of the mud either. They believe in this socialism atmosphere that things should be handed out to them as a right.
The verdict of death has served to terrorise the public into submission to the governing forces or the conquering forces. It is a sign of the inherent cruelty of man to overwhelm the psychology of the living by firmly implanting fear. Death is not a punishment. It is a release.
What is it in us that makes us so cruel? Why can't humans think kindly? Just go back to some simple manifestations of human cruelties in the name of religion and doing "good". Two examples will suffice: The Inquisition and the Hitlerian Final Solution.
Another everyday manifestation is thru rapes often with unleashed bestiality/murder because the woman was "Instigating" it by provoking the hormones of the man; and therefore imprisonment in the "Burqua".
How on earth with lying so prevalent did humans accept the promulgation that humans are basically honest and kind when effectively it is well known, that it is not so. The kindness bug is in us but extremely dormant. It wakes up when profit is clearly seen on the horizon. Do we fool anybody by projecting one image one day and another some other days. Our self-centered interests become obvious.
They rarely go deep into studying the accusations to understand the vile motivations that inspire human violence. Yet they label themselves as HUMANE that they certainly aren't but fortunately in individual acts in small measures it is to be found spread out like stars in the night sky but unfortunately not bright enough to create "DAY".
Parents make a great mistake by not taking their children into their confidence and not sharing their knowledge about the world. The children need to know about the ground realities - truthfully so they can plan ahead with accuracy and clarity; that even with all the negativity in life, something beautiful can be made out of it. We should look for solutions and work at them for resolution.
The first reaction of humans to any general truth that would help them become more aware is of denial. To me this the perfect proof of the deep denial that we live in and which is impeding our growth into more Divine Beings ( do we even think of it?).
From a deep occult point of view, the flexibility humans talk of is just an illusion.
An opening and widening of the mind has begun since the last 200 or so years. This is something to be thankful for. But the journey has just begun and we cannot start thinking that all is well because we have only started exercising now the power the mind contains and we are making quite an interesting mess over and about it.
On arguments: If we were two people with more open and flexible minds, then we would not be arguing would be?
The tendency of bringing everything down to the common lowest level is hurting progress in human evolution.
In the guise of being kind, humanity has junked "effort and expression" by talking of rights and deciding to wallow in the quagmire that they are. When you talk of raising standards, they talk of not interfering and letting people be or find their own way. This is their idea of kindness! What a grand excuse to not needing to see further.
On the other hand the simple concept of doing "good" sometimes takes farcical forms and ends-up as very cruel instances. When a minimum wage was guaranteed and made law, most people stopped employing expensive servants; result was that the poor people, without any special abilities were denied the little that was coming their way.
The separation of the persona is complete. We are no more people with hearts and minds and friendly brotherly/sisterly dispositions. We are now coins in the objectified world of material values and our values of importance are based cleanly on the monetary value our head carries. The priests may well stand in their pulpits and call it all wrong but they forget that they started it all by their labeling of human relations into either sinful or virtuous if they did not follow the religion-shopkeepers.
All the energy of these good people is going towards maintaining the status quo (peace and continuity) which indirectly assists the negative forces to continue existing.
Sadness is a component of Joy.
Sadness serves two functions. It helps to quieten down and contemplate. Stop pitying yourselves. Humans are basically selfish but the mind also tends to replay and in the replay it sees its own role in the whole event too. The people with a sincere attitude see their error and build up on it to greater success. The insincere ones see the error of others; often the highly trauma-corrupted kind takes it as an attack on their persona and all their plans for the future becomes revenge scenarios.
Human minds prefer to go nitpicking on useless info and statistics as these permits them to argue, waste time in the guise of understanding but actually in the occult world it is well known that the mind is escaping engagement and not really wanting to learn.
Naiveté is built-in us so that we can as children look forward with fresh eyes. The adults, parents specially have always known this. They misuse this propensity to feed the child's mind and conscious to create replicas of themselves as extensions of their selves.
The phrase "in my opinion..." is one of the emptiest, devoid of meaning or sense - phrase. For the simple reason that one's opinion has really meaning only to the speaker and often even not this.
Earth requires governance by leaders who understand the basic psychology of the human being from the occult/spiritual angle and practicalities of management of resources. Only the least bothered rise to kingship positions
As if it matters that you live or die. Look at the way they live their own lives - carelessly.
Unfortunately those who have this capacity to govern properly stay away from the crowds. The honest in this corrupt world withdraw and keep withdrawing and eventually retire into ascetics. Humans, the populace should/needs to wisen-up but they don't because their self-interest is woven into this mismanagement chain percolating right to the lowest cadre.
As for the act of contradicting and taking the opposite stance? It soon becomes a habit. They contradict or find fault because they have become so -- an automaton. Their brains are full of connecting images or phrases to the words you may have used and it is this association of words and images, with the support of their vanities that creates this scenario.
Contradicting is so easy; so much fun to see the shock in the eyes of others and so comforting to know that we were able to shut-up & put somebody down with just a few words.
There is an ambiguous problem in the understanding of FATE. Some like the Hindus live in the delusion that they have no say in the matter of conducting their lives. They are therefore defeatist and mentally then live a retarded life looking for answers in the stars and curing their ills thru ceremonies in temples to please the gods. It is pure foolish escapism.
The western psyche is the opposite. They have this feeling that they are in total control and they are the ones that make things happen. This also gives them the right to lord over all beings with the power of life and death. This is pure arrogance but swords and bullets fly without restraint. Between the two they are letting the world go to blazes. Can humanity gather enough courage and move for the better?
So many wrong practices are in place; if things can ever really get better at the "Crowd" level because the crowd has only shown a tendency to fall toward a lowering of consciousness; at least for the moment in time.
From the Spiritual Destiny angle, nothing ever goes waste... Even the mental interference, mental blocks and detours that result from human mental interference. There is delay but the process is toughening and results in greater, more thorough and better job done in the final analysis. But how much longer will this human race let this go on?
They are being taught to disregard the intuitive sense. All Beings emanate certain vibes of their guiding principal thoughts -- such as generosity or thieving. It will also show in their words and clothes and how they tell their stories. We know all this but we do not expressly directly teach it to our children - As if living a lie is a virtue.
People normally close their minds and become more involved in proving themselves after a certain age. They get so involved with their own image that they stop listening and learning -- even from experience/incidents. They protect themselves by refusing to open themselves to new ideas and possibilities.
But the mind can be educated to rise above the instinctual and operate with controlled reason and the behavior patterns reigned in with will power and intent. People who learn to do this use all the information at their disposal and all the learning from their experiences to act, and respond. It is all a very controlled act. They are normally read all wrong and they are not predictable because they play life as a chess game. This is the secret of success in this world.
When your thoughts and wishes become clear-cut, the solution will come in response. Normally your thoughts are not fully formed and have yet to take shape because you have not resolved your demons and desires. Without a clear-cut agenda to pursue, nothing can manifest.
If you are not succeeding, look at your thoughts. Can you put your goal or your idea in clear cut writing (Let us say) in 20 words?
Humanity has no future unless and until it starts taking its commitments seriously. Every word we utter has to be with intent and act as written in stone. Once "in" we are in and there can be no way to wriggle out of the commitment and arrangement.
You marry; you stay married. You have children you stay put and see to it that they mature well and get ready for life onward. You quote a price and assure delivery; you do it. You take a job; you deliver. You give a job; you become responsible for the person. You make a promise; you don't forget it. You make a mistake; you acknowledge it. When somebody stands by you; you don't ever forget it and remain in debt forever.
Love is the strongest and most powerful emotional movement but the most prevalent is anguish. The Driving force of love cannot be contested but it is also the emotion that starts most of the cascading other emotions in us. Nothing in our lives brings more anguish than the concept of, the thought of, the idea of and the expectation of what we call Love.
Humans have called it the Ego but really it is nothing but the simple fact that LIFE loves to be appreciated. It would have been a great boon because this emotion prompts us to appreciate others too.
But we demand attention and do not understand why others don't appreciate us; the fact that others have their own axe to grind is lost on us. The flip side is resentment.
All these questions weigh heavily upon us but we rarely ask or contemplate how we can live more efficiently so that our future generations may live happier. We are normally so focused on our own short joys that we destroy the fabric for later and often find ourselves deep in the morass before we are released by the inevitability of fate.
The arrows we unleash are flowing around us and will sooner rather later come to hurt us. Humanity needs to understand now that there is no space for individual ivory towers. It hurts to acknowledge but nobody really needs us. We may be useful to many and they would surely see that much at least so we stay together; but none really needs us. This is a sobering fact that is the foundation of a happy contented life. The human race on earth today has mastered the art of being unhappy. Specially these faculties: Faking it, Imagining it, Pretending it, Wasting it, Sulking it, Scoffing it, laughing it off, Waving it off as unimportant and Unseeing it.
YES. Look how we exalt the Chimera.
Has it not become obvious yet? Now money has a character of its own. Wherever it goes it gives a rise to arrogance and pride. The feeling of not being tied down opens doors to all the desires that are normally suppressed. In short the worst side of human nature has a tendency to show itself.
This has made the element of softness disappear from the normal world of cities where the "civilisation" of modern style of sociology & thinking is prevalent. It has become a world of locked doors, little charity and even lesser kindness. Everything is to be bought and is on sale; nothing is personal. Only Money is & has any value.
Human nature has morphed into a dry tasteless piece of machined beauty along with all the paraphernalia that goes to make our lives worth living.
When you choose to take the path of self-questioning and then putting your house in order, something astonishing begins to happen. Everything starts going asunder as if life decided to rip you apart. This is very disconcerting and stalls the weaker ones who do not show greater courage.
What most do not see that this is an occult phenomenon where the life is coming out in response to your own demands. The idea is to put you up together in a better form but this unfortunately is always too far into the future and too uncertain - seemingly absolutely impossible.
What the human heart and mind sees is the tragedy.
Humans make statements, Commitments based on the mood of the moment. They mean it for the moment. Tomorrow is another day. This is the psychological truth of our natures and general character but we do not accept it as we project ourselves as sincere, honest and indulgent people; something that we are deep-down not and considering the life we are forced to live on this planet, it cannot be otherwise. There are different grades of concentration of sincerity in this; every individual being at a different level.
Some are absolutely insincere from the day go and are non-corrigible and there are others who are basically sincere and honest but sometimes life's weight and strain can be too much and they have to break their vows and they do so involuntarily with a heavy heart but necessity can be a hard master.
Humans need to stand by each other otherwise this world as it is, painful, unreliable and a torment to existence will remain as it is.
All our talks of God, philosophy, Ethics are simply ripples on the surface of the pond; meaningless waste of time and energy and resources -- as we see these practices in operation, they are all charades based on our insincere dramatic abilities.
The mind is not an instrument that will permit you to go beyond its "self". Until the Soul from within comes in the forefront nothing of import will happen. For the Soul to break through even slowly, the cycle of birth and the painful adventures are the best teacher. If we can we should make people understand that a guide/guru/teacher can only help speed up the process - not instigate or initiate it.
The lies and their believers have to be pitied. This business of instant Kundalini and initiation and removal of all veils by the Grace of a person who calls himself a Guru is so improbable that it blows ones belief that intelligent ( or are they) humans can fall for it. What desires are blinding them?
Trying to better the life of others is a trap based on our sense of virtue, virtuousness. It can mask our own need for approval as well as our need to be busy with externals and avoid looking deeply into our own lives. Free yourself of a big burden - to be in the right vis-a-vis others, to be seen as impressive, to need approval from others.
It is sad; the amount of energy we spend trying to relate and be seen as "correct".
The Soul is orchestrating our Destiny.
Learn the lessons we need to, to advance on the way, it will be tough but with minimal misadventures. Otherwise, the Soul is not averse to organize for you a "skin-alive lashing" to speed up the process.
Life on Earth today is the result of collective unconsciousness. We are all in it with our inconscient behaviour "tamas" (indolent, irresponsible and callous).
Let not moral principles, a set of thoughts cloud the path we each need to take as our personal effort. Be Free to fly in any direction as needed.
Who is living, dying or suffering is beyond our comprehension. Let's leave these heavy matters on the shoulders of the Creator.
The more we learn about every detail & process of life around us, the fear of the unknown reduces and when we see the interconnecting links, pettiness and narrow-mindedness reduces which translates in to more awareness and wider consciousness.
Kindness already exists in us. Just see how people behave when their interests are in play. The need is to make it a permanent and most prominent feature of our persona because we have understood that what we sow is what we reap. What we send around is what is going to come around. It is in our self-interest.
The time has come to do some summer cleaning of our notions and thinking patterns that have carried humanity till date to the present age.
There are many moments and decisions from the past that I regret today but when I analyse the past with the parameters in play at that time, I would say I was wise. Now years later when I think back with all the new wisdom collected over the years, it may seem stupid and so "why didn't I" or for that matter "Why did I?".
If our lives are in a mess or things are not going forward as we had hoped, all we need to do is look back and discover the steps we did not take when we should have and the steps that have brought us to this impasse. The truth is that deep in our hearts we all know where we are going wrong and where we have gone earlier. We are well aware of our lacunas but cover it with coats of appearances as if what the others "see" of us are more important than living our lives to our heart's content and our Soul's dictates.
Mankind is terribly clever. Statements like -- "Everything is preordained"; "If it is in our destinies it will happen"; "It is all in the stars"; "God wished it this way" and many others in the same hue serve us well to sit back and lament our condition rather than do something about it. Our minds can place arguments from old sayings and proverbs and other great minds to prove our point as if arguing and convincing our neighbor is the final answer to our woes.
When one aligns with the "dirty" - life then shapes itself around it - No wonder. When there is filth in the basic consciousness, it will show in life, health, habits & attitudes - in fact everywhere. The opposite too.
Speaking in general, certain communities wherever it may be in the world and even whole countries have the same affinity. They just can't "think" clean or make any effort to make things beautiful. They always take the short-cuts and underhand methods to achieve their ends. It shows on their face and the areas under their influence.
Best not to let them pull you in their vortex. It is death's embrace really.
The malefic influence of planets, does it bother you or/and does it frighten you? Do you believe the astrologers and the magicians? Have you noticed certain similarities in life's pattern? How to understand where all this originates? Does it come from the planets? Can the innumerable solutions in the form of mumbo-jumbo with all the ceremonies change the place of Saturn up there, then how will things change? Create a center of positivity and let all thoughts that go out of you be well-intentioned. Then see how things start falling into happy places.
When all is said and done, only two things remain in our records. There are really only two columns in our karmic registers: With how much kindness or how much cruelty one has lived. Every other noun, adjective or verb that we may use in its final analysis falls under these two categories. The soul knows only this. The soul is interested in evolving into a persona of kindness. The rest is only a collection of short stories that have no permanence.
The world is not designed to correct and show the way - the world simply rejects or accepts us. People are not there to help you or educate you. The world is a huge market place where everyone is out to outbid the rest. You are totally on your own. So much misery can be avoided by inculcating the right attitudes and habits; parents alone can do this as the child is totally under their care in the first few years. I say that parents have failed their children in this scenario. That is why I have always advocated that before we get into marriage and produce children, we should also take some courses in psychology, understand general medicine and management principles and some philosophy of life.
Thousands of years of experiences, repeated lifetimes, written and spoken words counted to the power of "n", teachers in droves repeating the same lessons in every age and corner of the world, but the human mind has not budged from its stance. Are they suffering for it? Doesn't look like it.
Life goes on by its rules and we may cry ourselves hoarse otherwise. You can't irritate the scorpion and not be bit! You can't go out in the rain and not be drenched! You can't live by unwholesome food and not be sick!
Keeping people alive by all means fair and foul should not be in your philosophy and that is how we see the intellectualized societies with their highly technologically advanced methods of medical help doing things.
The scientific community has brainwashed the world into believing that there are such things as safe and significantly safe levels of harmful products & activities and even treatments are being touted with this mindset. "IF IT DOES NOT KILL IMMEDIATELY IT IS SAFE".
Damage is damage and the capacity to damage is the moot point here. Often it is these triggers that get coupled with other triggers that create an avalanche that the body collapses under. So it is a grave error to see things in isolation.
By judicious selection and avoidance of certain toxic foods, medical assistance and activities we can still live a full life in these modern times. But that would also mean a simpler and less burdened life-style and often living with simple pleasures.
But we would rather dance with death. The joke is on the choices we make. We rarely know when to stop and be happy with our own selves. The effort that should go into learning goes into showing off. It is a skewed balance. The big question is how can this be corrected?
The same can be said for any other discipline of thought and behavior because the character of the mind operates in the same way.
We are helpless they say...
We are in life for a purpose. When the purpose is not being served death is imminent. So if you wish to live longer because you have a purpose then you will most probably live longer and your mind and body will continue to work and stay vibrantly alive. We all talk glibly of continuity, permanence, everlasting love, living happily ever after.
We have been studiously mesmerising ourselves with the most falsified truth; something we all experience and realize. Our lives are a chain of moments that we have successfully negotiated (at least for that moment).
Permanency is not even thought of although we may have a niggling doubt that very moment in the now is connected to the moments in the future but we prefer to ignore too much of this line of thought.
People whose minds are at different level of "formation" with pride and vanity at the fore-front simply cannot be talked to. It is frustrating when you cannot show them the picture perceived that forms in your mind from all the data clearly available to you. There is absolutely no way to transfer the image to their minds.
You can then only plod on with your own life. That is the best attitude and the best way to live. Don't allow this frustration or inability to communicate to overwhelm your feelings. You have to learn to take a detached view in life and let things roll on. Enjoy the scenery.
To profit from all the possibilities in life an open mind is necessary and the mind should be singularly focused on the goal with being distracted by prejudiced and unknown preferences instilled into us by parents and society. Then, effort to discipline one's mind to listen, consider every factor, coolly calculate the best options in a circumstance dispassionately are essential to growth of the mind's decision taking ability for real good to come out of it all.
We are living in a world which has opposites of everything living side by side. So when the focus is on pleasure and continuous sensual titillation -- what we term "LIFE", the twin brother of pleasure which is pain and "DEATH" is bound to be around. And worse, men lay open the gates for clever, cunning, immoral people to inveigle us into rosy schemes and wishful thinking. Look back how we cheated the simple peasants earlier and still do. Now the same is happening but at a more educated level. The educated public is really a semi-literate public with no real discerning ability and the people who have mastered the sciences are taking them for a grand ride.
Maturing means renewal. This means old brain cells have to go and make way for new ones backed by the effort of going collecting new ones. Do you think the old ones like it? No siree. They have grown so comfortable there with so many relations and so totally snug that they resent the very idea and resist every attempt.
Usually the exact opposite is the norm. A little push towards renewal and there is a hue and cry. The owners immediately rush to buy high speed glue and glue their cells together. This is their simple solution to ensure that no change can take place and the world will not change because obviously it does not suit them.
In short apply SELF Control on your SELFISHness.
We humans act on a "need" basis. Our relationships are solely on this basis: that is when WE NEED something.
Once the need is over, our attention shifts and there is very little time left to look back at things that are already discarded in our minds.
Don't grieve on relationships ending. Grow up into new ones.
The human lives in the Mental realm. It is a universe by itself but limited by the physical material. It can only work within the limits of what it can connect with thru its senses like touch, hearing, seeing, smell.
Give a moment to understand that narcissism basically is a psychological response where everything is wanted to go in a particular way and humans are ready to hurt others and blame to be seen as superior beings. Cleverness and cunning form a strong component of the whole.
Does this not reflect our society?
Until and unless we accept this fact we shall never consider change nor improve and become a real persona to contend with.
Humans, Men over women, women over men, trap each other by offering the other the illusion of POWER over their selves. Example: the buyer feels that the seller needs him and glibly agrees to all terms the buyer asks but once the sale is made he retracts on all of them.
A little meditation will show that we are violent mostly with ourselves. All our indulgences end up hurting or trapping us. Too much gluttony gives tummy ache in the short term and other illnesses in the long term. Too much sex gives us depression directly or indirectly thru consequences. Violence can put us in jail where we may have to bear great violence in return. etc etc etc
Immunity from disease thru removal of anxiety: this starts from conception. The vibes of the parents are imbibed by the child.
Changes can be made only when parents cooperate to reduce anxiety forming situations and behaviour around the child.
Bringing up in reality; what is happening now is that they are just letting the child grow without any deep consideration or effort. The parents are also the biggest bullies and instill more fear and anxieties than is good. How anyone thinks this will change by just regulating things or lectures is beyond understanding. Subconscious patterns need change.
A drastic change of consciousness and effort is required.
Poors feed the rich's whims with over-supply of children that have to be fed and easily lend themselves to enslavement.
People are slaves to salaries. Salaries are tied to owners. You dance to the tune of salary-owners.
We prefer being tied down as free slaves.
Modern concepts of governance has given too many "rights". When humans realise that they are having it GOOD, they always slip down one notch or two in consciousness.
We instill in them thoughts and patterns that will not do much good later in life. This in broader view is "harming" - although it is an ignorant process done in total ignorance under the aegis of negative universal forces in your little world.
Specially when we see life with preordained labels. Or/and when you have trained to see life with "kindness" and maintain a strict superficiality.
From the occult point of view in the present state of affairs, the world's behavior and karmic patterns are fashioned by the forces that use "Pressure and Heat" to forge the human awareness towards a better level of conscious opening. So Tragedy, Wars and Bereavements, Losses become instruments of the Karmic Forge.
But things move at the Mother Earth's speed because the material envelope takes time and is slow to change as resistance is an element built into it.
A secret which is rarely told is that when the evolutionary trend in a person gathers speed, a kind of Anti-Being who is actually a friend in disguise attaches to the person and starts initiating the happenings in life. His job is to make life harder which then breaks down attachments and vanities. It is a purifying process.
Every person around us, every act we initiate, every possibility that comes to us, all these are happening because of the being that is now running our life like a shadow. He grows with us.
It seems that the decent people are having more than their share of pain which is actually true.
Q: Does this mean that troubles keep on increasing?
PK: There are two aspects. As your strengths grow, the troubles increase and focus primarily on strengthening your weaker points. It feels like that every time you reach a peak a new peak arrives and has to be conquered.
The good aspect is that the very Being helping you grow also makes sure the trials match your capabilities & protects you from those pulling you down. The idea is not to destroy you but help you master yourself.
Humans live a very "Pretend" life. This puts blinkers on their seeing and makes them NON-seeing... So this value system based on a common denominator of the "value" of certain goods, styles, behaviour and such. More like the visual "icing" on the cake regardless if the cake is worth it or not.
We value people and things therefore based not on divine values but devilish protocols.
• If and when we are in the right frame of meditative stance and allow the subconscious and the Universe to assist us, solutions can not only come to mind but often the whole energy is such that things arrange themselves to help you out.
• When you permit your life to be run by others (and doing jobs for others amounts to that) you put yourself in the lowliest status of the society ladder. Nobody is here to feed you. They are all here to FEED OFF YOU.
Whatever the glory and the height you arrive at in the hierarchy, when your status in life is dependent on the crumbs that others throw at you, specially at the lower end of the labour ladder you have not only sold your soul, but you have admitted to a life of simply subsisting. It is respectful slavery - sold down the river but with ego intact.
Bow to The Supreme Intelligence of This Universe which keeps on going in spite of it all and is able to keep the Earth and the Solar system alive and well.
We will understand our importance only when we realise of how little consequence we are. The speck of sand on the beach has been here longer and has been keeping the beach together for hundreds of years and will still be there a few hundred years on.
The human insect comes for an odd 60 -70 years and does more damage than the ocean did in 6 million years.
Humans live in their mental worlds, a world peculiar to them, invisible to others and rarely connected to the real EARTH.
Small enlightening experiences, all elaborated into concepts and clarified with great diligence in Books after books are spread all over the world. Mostly people don't know where to stop talking and check the mental level of the reader/listener.
Commercial needs make us talk more than we really need to make a point. But finally does anything of it gets across? I have always felt that a well-aimed arrow is enough. What humanity does is argue over the points while the aim should be to discover what the real thing behind these words is. Every one of us would get different answers but the goal of making people ask questions and explore is achieved. Something like the basic concept of Twitter messaging which was good but then they became too greedy.
Nobody believes in God. Not one iota of Trust exists in the human make-up. They need a hook to hang their coat on; excuses and pretensions. Everyone is in cahoots in this great circus.
In my book withOUT get-togethers, meetings all contacts are just "Connections" - NOT FRIENDS at all. So called relatives also fall into this category.
We keep in touch through internet. You are just an ALPHABET-SOUL to me. So called close friends meeting once or twice a year is that not an insult to the word friendship/relative? What joy is there in wishing somebody by pressing 2 buttons on the computer?
Joy can be shared only by your presence, the feel of your presence, the connect with the eyes and the glow of joy on your face that I can see and FEEL with our electrical fields enjoining.
In the initial stages the mind has to be repeatedly reminded how lucky it is with all the little miracles it is experiencing.
Humans suffer because they don't see these as miracles but the result of their own efforts. They are normally trapped in their virtuousness and they get annoyed if told otherwise.
But soon there are too many miracles and the ego has to accept the truth of existence; Nothing like failures at this stage to reinforce the thought.
Good manners keep the civilization into making humans living as a group into a smooth well-oiled machine. But we need to go beyond this thinking and really become nice bottom up.
Most humans are generally good people but unfortunately they spend their energies in "guiding" the thinking of others instead of going down into their own depths of understanding of human nature as operative generally to bring change into themselves first.
Codifying teachings and revelations into a strict, ONLY this and nothing else is not doing much good but making people rigid and this has proven itself over time to be worse and highly destructive.
Why you are focussing on me? If you don't like what I am saying see what people like Jung, Bertrand Russell have been saying and very many more. You are it seems seeing the world thru some rather "conditioned" spectacles. Like the automated responses we get from computers nowadays from "support".
Is it so difficult to accept that all the work done on humans dies with them? And how many do these therapists, priests and social do-gooders really ever touch? An extremely miniscule number of no consequence to earth's future breeds. The real work needs to be done in the subconscious patterns motivating this existence. ????
All your possible "imaginations" are true.
One day they may even manifest in the material world depending on the intense thoughts you back the imaginations with.
Whenever a slightly "critical of humans" subject is brought up, the KIND brigade immediately brings up "exceptions" to counter the truth being exposed. This obviates any further need to explore the subject further. Endless discussions rage. At the same time it fulfills the need to be or at least the show of being positive, kindly and better nurturing attitudes.
What it is not seen is that we are stopping evolutionary thoughts right in their tracks. Just notice how the Jews have maintained their community together since so many thousands of years.
It is perversion of a subtle kind.
When a show of being NICE is enough why bother if we are truly kind at all?
Step back a few steps and see around you: How much effort goes into covering our lack of effort to go and understand the root of anything?
Culture is a prison. The strict labeling of good, bad & unacceptable keeps us blocked and trapped - frozen in time.
Sincerity is not in the earth atmosphere yet as a tangible thing. Talking about is good but useless.
We all would love to be revered, appreciated and eulogized. The philosopher by being called a guru/father and the materialist thru his possessions that merit showing off.
It is the same emotion, the same principle at work
Equally bad. The wise man/philosopher is worse because greater things are expected of him.
The real people avoid both. Those who seek to reach greater of godly relevance in this life aim to be honest and sincere in thoughts, speech and deed.
When and IF.
When and IF let us say a street food chef starts finding disturbing facets and criticizing a 5 star chef, we have a situation of people who are discussing other authors, specially deep complicated philosophical TREATIESEs that EXPLAIN THIS Cosmos. All having some minor understanding and experiences but really nothing they can talk about. At best it is an intellectual exercise.
Like the street chef has no idea of the compulsions of the 5 star chef and even less of the cosmos of the 5star hotel industry and atmosphere, these long talks, interpretative books, lectures etc are so totally worthless. The Cosmos couldn't care. The world is not paying attention. Within a small group you are being called great and then all go back to their lonely beds.
If you ask me the Cosmos if it could would ask them to remain silent so IT could do what it has to do with the minds of the good men it has engineered and are now being way-laid and everything is going to waste in the end into the coffin.
PS: The only treatises to be appreciated are original experiences by the Author directly. Absorb whatever you can from it in you reading and then take a nap.
Who wants Eternal LIfe?
THE PLEASURE CENTRE
The pleasure centre is an emanation of the Vital Force that animates this existence. It needs a body so being alive is important to it. As to the pleasure centre, it is like an unending water fall -- never satisfied with an end -- eternal, perpetual, unending.
How do we know where we are?
The lack of honesty in every single word and gesture that humans project will start becoming obnoxious. In crowds it will get much worse. You eventually arrive when all this becomes claustrophobic.
Nothing happens in isolation -- it is a continuum. Look back, Look back. The future will become visible.
The human condition is plagued by self-interest; total selfishness in every gesture. Every movement in the human sort can be traced to some selfish interest. Within this structure we have tried to evolve a society that seeks to be equitable, responsible and charitable.
Some people place their hands on a book and vow to serve the world but can they? Events have shown it is all a huge fraud being perpetrated.
I have come to the conclusion that either it is all a good piece of theatre or lack of understanding of human psychology.
The words "In all sincerity" has contracted into INSINCERITY.
First become well-intentioned. Then talk about god if there is anything like it.
All words spoken on this subject are basically CONJECTURES, outside the human experience and basically man-made mental concepts.
Does not the butterfly represent the Creation and thru this creation the Creator?
It is all Him/Her and Not.
