Sit Down. Quiet Down. Zen Down.

Sit down.
Quieten down.
Zen down.
New thought patterns are needed to usher in

change.
A collection of “thoughts”

Just heard in a discussion on TV the man saying
"Artificial Intelligence is SUMMONING the Devil".
So they KNOW and yet they pursue this as if

compelled!
What is it with humanity?
Every act finally is creating more dukkha -humans are

so like the outlet of city's effluents pouring all the dirt
into the river.
It never stops and never gets less.
We humans make first class instruments for the

Demons.
The deep need to be "superior,” to overwhelm the

other by our person is very strong in the human
make-up. To lord over others, to see them bend to
our wishes, to see them giving us regard in public - in
fact humiliating themselves to keep our arrogance
pleased..... this is the highest satisfaction a human
knows and aspires greatly to reach this height in social
instances.

The question for me is why humanity cannot live
without wars
We come on this earth for a miniscule number of

years and spend it all in "wars" - we can’t live in peace
even with our spouse and families.
Why?
I wonder if you see how the mind shapes our

experience of suffering.
Have you seen how lobotomy makes suffering

disappear?
In our view suffering is our interpretation of an

event/situation. This interpretation is conducted by
the mind, what humans consider the mind. We have
the option of dissociating with this act of
interpretation or interpret differently. When we grow
out of this mind-box we can enter into a bigger realm
of intuitive or universal mind in which we see more
clearly the space and spot everything occupies in this
universe. Suffering ceases from this too as nothing is
4
seen to be out of place - Given the elements in the
configuration of the universe.
As to lobotomy , It is just an analogy - and you know

it.
Mack Paul
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari there is really nothing going

on that is not perfectly evident. This beyond the mind
is nonsense.
Mack Paul
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari I apologize if I seem abrupt

but it is important to be grounded in immediately
observerable reality and dangerous not to be.
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari
Mack Paul if that is ok by you it is fine by you and it

does not concern me in anyway so fine by me too
Mack Paul Ok. Even if we keep to the observable

limits, you will see that most of our suffering is the
result of the INSINCERITY in the consciousness and
atmosphere of humans. We say things we don’t
mean. We make promises which we never have
5
intentions of keeping. Most of the times we are all
lying like troopers; cheating and corrupt practices are
our forte. Every single drop of sincerity will create its
own suffering. It is the karmic law.
The mRNA stuff is a totally different ball game.
I read a report that says the ill effects will show in

three years of so.
From the naturopathic angle I believe the body can

take much abuse and can manage even disastrous
inputs for a long time before illness or disease starts
showing up enough to be seen in a microscope.
I have noticed that a 20- 25 years of time elapses

before the bad consequences of unhealthy habits and
practices show up as diseased state. So medically they
do not technically and mathematically connect but
there is no running away from the fact. Example -
smoking, alcohol consumption.
20 years ago no one would have said anything against

white refined sugar use but today they are realising it.

You see that's the thing that leads to
misunderstanding, or even illusion: there can be a
time lag between cause and effect; it's not always
instantaneous. Scale and level play into this too. On
the smaller scales cause and effect takes less time
(i.e., alcohol killing brain cells directly), but on a
greater scale takes much longer (smoking and lung
cancer or climate change). In the later the effects are
cumulative and, eventually, irreversible.
Be ready to be hated which is not good and feared

which is good.

With digital communications today all exchange of
ideas/thoughts and interactions have stopped. The
only person I get to talk to is my wife who happens to
be the last person I wish to talk to if it can be called a
conversation.
8
Kathy Glover
I thought I had seen some pretty good

communications and exchanges of ideas with you on
this digital platform. Not the same as face to face but
many seem pretty good to me.
The exchange of energy that creates and changes is

lacking. Kathy Glover When do not meet and depend
only on printed words, we continue to stew in our
own energy. Personal physical contact is needed for
real growth.
Kathy Glover
Pk dang it and I thought the growth I had achieved

from your wise words over the years was real.
It is real but by the strength of your own energy.
Had we met, I would have infused you with some

vibrations of mine too

Philosophically we promote many GOOD precepts
which on examination deteriorate into negative
influences.
For instance take these two:
1) Be charitable and be less selfish - save your soul.
2) Live in the moment.
In actual life it translates to: 1) Your karma is

appeased when you give to beggars and thereby
promoting begging which has now organized itself
into crowd funding too.
We have only eliminated the need to make EFFORT

for our personal emancipation.
2) This has made us live us for immediate pleasures

without thinking of the consequences while in reality
the philosophers wanted us to become a little more
aware.
That is what organisation does.
Our minds look for predictable and organised layouts

following a clean well laid out structures and spoil
10
everything by eliminating all spontaneity and even
censor/punish it.
When sex is so radically free why should the abortions

be not?
Or look from another angle "You break it and it is

considered sold. You have a baby you are responsible
for it. NO abortions, no divorces ( strictly) - no running
away, if the man can’t afford it, the man is
automatically taken into the army while his entre pay
goes to the baby.
Lessons should be learnt and the rest forgotten.

Keeping morbid memories alive cannot be of great
help. It keeps our minds sullied. Wars sow hate and
revenge wars. The western military interventions in
the past century have sown many triggers. How
alienated we are now to each other.
Remembrance should serve to create a better world

otherwise it is all a waste.
11
If you simply talked of the last 24 hours, I would be
scared out of my wits; no need to remind me of long
ago disasters.
We must learn to know the "APPEARANCES" they

judge us by. Learn to show them the acceptable face
to put them off-track and behind it all live and act
with our independent spirit remaining unaffected by
12
their thinking.
We can always use every moment to reflect for a

moment and use it for self-growth.
All we have to do is ask the question: Where did it all

start?
13
We have to admit that we humans allow ourselves to
be manipulated as if we were asking for it.
The deep need to be "superior", to overwhelm the

other by our person is very strong in the human
make-up. To lord over others, to see them bend to
our wishes, to see them giving us regard in public - in
fact humiliating themselves to keep our arrogance
pleased..... this is the highest satisfaction a human
knows and aspires greatly to reach this height in social
instances.
"SEERs" are at a distinctive disadvantage. They can’t

have the bliss of the ignorant. Being afraid is their
daily lot. Dumb life!

• Fabian Graham
Are you assuming that everyone thinks the same
thought patterns and same thoughts?
Not at all. Thoughts and thinking in the Indian
Tantric lore are different things. Thoughts are
Energy patterns that we humans pick up and then
use and manifest as action in our lives.
Some common patterns get adopted and they
become fixed and humanity gets stuck with them.
Once this happens things in evolution do not
budge easily and patterns simply repeat over and
over for eons
Fabian Graham
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari - thank you, that is one
of the best answers I have ever received on
Facebook 🙏👍🙏
So what is 'thinking'?
Pradeep PK Maheshwari
THINKING by what humans understand today is
the activity they employ in shifting their
information collected over a lifetime by their
brain which can be divided into 3 parts: 1) the
memory 2) the reasoning 3) the collating. These
15
are just now affected deeply by the subconscious
mind which actually runs the show.
The conscious part of the human mind-frame is
right now totally subjected to fulfilling the wishes
of the Emotional centre so in most cases the act
of thinking rarely occurs – it is more a collating
service as to how a particular person can get his
wishes manifested – what can be called
instinctive level of thinking and acting which is
really not thinking at all. The aftermath is another
matter; the consequences may give rise to a lot of
“thinking” which is either planning for more or a
lot of regret or trying to explain away oneself to
avoid further consequences.
This is the average Joey level of what people call
thinking.
There are people who have learnt to control their

emotional centre. They receive the impulse like
everybody else but do not allow their minds to be
subjected to it. They are more defined individuals
and not living at the instinctive levels. These
people stop and give themselves time to collate
all the information stored in their memory and
also permit the subconscious to provide even
deeper answers of long forgotten messages. This
is proper thinking at the human level.
Then there are the ones who have understood
and see how the mental sphere works. They
realize that there is a domain of the Mental
16
Energies. There, fully encapsulated THOUGHTS
are floating around. If your human mind with all
its prejudices and temptations will permit, they
float down into the human mind and humans call
it their idea.
This is the Intuitive Mental Domain. It is possible
to reach a level of mental development thru
silence and broad-mindedness, contemplation
and other quietening stances of the human spirit
to reach this domain and be permanently
connected to it. This is the domain of the GENIUS.
The outer human frame is the same in all of us

but if one is sensitive and observant one can
recognize at what level a person is by how he
behaves, looks and reacts. The real thinking ones
are less affected by what is going on around
them, jump to lesser conclusions, criticize less
and smile more AND will change their
“conclusions” with immediate effect if new
information/realization shows them the error in
their ways.
 You are too much in love with your self-

importance; alas! I so wish I could talk to you!!
17
 The only thing that has happened in last 100
years is that our prejudices and our vanities
have started travelling long distances.
Gunwant Agarwal
Guess that overthinking attracts the very events
the person thought of.
It looks so but it can also be a sensitivity to be
able to see it.
Everything does not happen because we "attract"
it.
We are just part of the melee of life.
Even in the occult world there are accidents. Once
I was passing by and at stop at a cross road. I saw
a minibus driving very fast coming from the
opposite side and turning to my left. There at the
bus stop I saw a woman in total white standing
exactly where I saw the minibus would pass. I
willed her strongly to move. She stepped back
and an accident was averted. The left wheel of
the bus passed exactly where she was standing.
 In recent times, with education a very big number

of people are great parents. The major part of the
world has sex because that is all they want. These
children happening as a result is not really
18
thought of. But the little chums do manage to
attract the attention of their parents so finally
there is a connection but mostly very little with
serious attention to their upbringing with
thought-out intent rarely given.

Sometimes human beings seem so against each
other’s freedom. Sometimes it feels you can only go
as far as someone who has power over you wants
you to go.
How do you know? Step outside the boundary line of
conformity and notice the momentum of a backlash
forming.
Yes these constraints are real.
Manipulating oneself out of a sticky situation can
often take a long time, a long preparation.
What we had been empathically taught is that when
we and our responses have changed from deep
within, the exigencies will change and the change
will come.
But the drive has to be planned. worked at, executed
with finesse and we have to trap others in their own
net.
People play extremist games with words to create
controversy which in the subtle is an inherent need
to attract attention; plain and simple.
It would be best not to see too much of what others
are doing or listening to. Every word is being uttered
by mostly self-interest at its core. Being selective in
life should be the first lesson.
21
The rest of the world with its games & plays can
continue but I think I'll merrily ignore it.
• There is such a thing as figurative thinking.

When we enter philosophy we cannot be so linear in
our approach.
All human issue stem from attitudinal perversions
and characteristics showing themselves off in
different permutations and combinations. Humanity
knows it well. All thru the ages people have
experienced and recorded their thoughts and the
similarity cannot be missed.
We know it but will not admit it
“It's what you read when you don't have to that

determines what you will be when you can't help it.”
~Oscar Wilde
wow.
and I fully agree.
Our entire power is directed in this direction.
22
PK:
When our vision and consciousness expands, the
foundation needs to expand as well. A lot of people
start growing at the intellectual level but without
material experience to really connect with life - this
is where madness gets a chance to manifest.
This is why in our gurukul philosophy of teaching, we
believe in first preparing the student well so that he
is ready to assimilate his experiences without losing
the narrative.
A wise man then results who is also in full connect
with material reality too and never at a loss. He may
of course behave a little eccentric as he cannot by
sheer necessity of his persona accept what the
society expects of him.
In reply to this point raised by Joe Joe Bartholomew
…. there are people who have experienced
significant trauma and distress in their lives and they
have used these experiences as a catalyst to
transform their lives. Also they may have inspired
others to transform their lives too. - I find this far
more resonant with how I feel about distress and
post-traumatic growth than believing in a genius and
madness embellished narrative. I believe the former
23
can promote personal and collective transformation.
The latter, on the other hand, seems more like a
romantic dance between individualised hopelessness
and despair vs individualised world fame and
fortune. Both a dichotomy of extremes.
• My dear sister.
You realize that I have completed my life’s mission
and could evaporate anytime. Let me tell you about
my real Self. I am a SUFI from way back. A fakir who
has been running away from people in quest for
knowledge. But in this life I was destined to break
this and flower properly.I have remained hidden
because my sadhana demanded it.
My different behaviour made the family see me as
an eccentric. It was all good fun.
I have enjoyed myself. No regrets and no
complaints.
I am also grateful to all of you who did not make it
easy for me for it coerced me to grow out of myself
into a greater persona and break the glass ceiling to
my eventual flowering.
I release you from attachment.
You do realize that bloodline connections at this age

are now MEANINGLESS. Either we are friends or we
24
are not and go separate ways. The doors are always
welcomingly open though.
• The forces Fighting Continuance of Control to

run this World are basically using the Mother's
Planet and its humans to introduce new and newer
tricks into play. The poor humans are too stupid, too
easily manipulated and the fun is for all of us to see.
We are also unfortunately part of the game nilly
willy.
Let us add our own game to it and enjoy it.
That is all there to it.
• On Van Gogh the artist

He had a lot of philosophy that was bursting thru his
paintings. He was nearly in touch with the eternal
and he would have been alright if he had been
mentally prepared with philosophical teachings of
those who have gone before him and he would not
then have been so sad.
People in our group are not really material to our
happiness. Most leave a depressing wake behind.
That is why mostly loners we become.

• Joe Bartholomew
A fear of existential suffering and the pursuit of
hedonistic pleasure. Huxley's brave new world
seemed pretty spot when i read it. What did he say
about a life time of knowledge what had he learnt?
To simply be a little kinder.
This is the only lesson finally. I used to be acerbic,
sarcastic etc. It got things done under fear. But never
taught anyone anything. Like the Sargent in the boot
camp.
The other side of the picture is the "Arrogant" part.
Their arrogance could only be broken but not made
to understand. And mental interference is a truth we
have to learn to live with.
I see everybody suffering from this illness. Nobody,
for example, wants to do my things my way even for
me. It has to be their way and what they think is the
right, correct and best for me. Oh boy! Getting work
done by our workers can send you up the pole.
26
When you are talking to them, explain the details
they simply shut off because they already "know"
what needs to be done.
I speak from my experience as a consumer durable
products designer. If you demand for something, it is
you who is arrogant. If you don't listen to them they
get offended. Peace comes only when you throw in
the towel. Self psychological mastery is first required
and then second how to use applied psychology to
reverse their venom on themselves and stop them in
their tracks,
Between these two moving about in the world with
kindness is a very difficult walk on the beam and
cartwheeling a dream.
The basic question is how to live with the insincerity
on which the entire socio-composition of humans is
founded.
And we keep on speaking in circles.
• Haribol Acharya
I am the son of the Earth. I am a little earth. I cannot
be any other thing than the earth. I am in debt up
to my neck to the earth. When I love the earth I
love myself or the other way around if I do not take
care of the earth I cannot take care of myself.
Unfortunately I was never taught this great truth in
my school and college. The understanding that not
27
only am I an integral part of the earth I am the
earth, is enlightenment for me. Nirvana. The
ultimate truth I can learn in life is about my
relationship with the Earth. I have little to do with
the universe that houses thousands of constellations
and galaxies. I cannot understand them .
PK: This is a good original and needed point raised.
Your debt is not only till the neck but goes way
overhead.
You are the earth in microcosm.
Most humans have forgotten, prefer not to think
that way and make their Ego the separate entity
they think, the want to be, they are because it suits
them - in secret they know the truth anyway.
PK’s Reply to someone who doesn't agree:

Sorry cant align my thinking to yours and so
specifically. We are in two different worlds. I have
said as clearly as I can what I want to say. I cannot
change the narrative to suit anyone’s thinking
process. Why should I? Perhaps you may try to
understand my words from a different angle than
predetermined by yours and understand what I may
be trying to say. Did you give my words a moment pf
contemplation or just blurted out the first reactions
that bolted out of your head?
28
What one thinks as food is poison to others. It is our
way of of thinking and conditioning. What we
consider the basic truth and what is considered as
nonsense in comparison.
We from the old naturopathic cultures think that
Americans have gone wild and have become
spoilers. The Americans think that they have done
wonders and this all to the good.
Fine.
Each one in his world.
The Mother Earth; What she says is the basic
question. Anyone asking that?
We want the known and the habits demand that we
don’t change too much. It is a world of great variety
that we would love but without changing the
mainframe. It confuses the persona so.
This invites the people who can to take advantage of
those they can.
The oppressed feel bad but rarely do much from
their own initiative to makes any change.
The present moment in history will be known as the
moment when we were happy enough to poison
ourselves in multitude of ways for SHORT TERM
gains, lose our Natural health in the process and
tried to live long on food and environment that we
had poisoned willfully reprocessed it to
29
unrecognizable levels in all the most unthinkable
ways one could possibly could.
What were we thinking or were we thinking at all?
Nothing therefore changes because there is no need
to.
The eternal quest of the mind to collect more news,
views and experiences. It is a basic thing in our Spirit
wanting to expand.
This is why travel is so good for us. It forces us to
reorient ourselves, forces us to reform and readjust
our principles. The wo principles of Pleasure and
Growth are pushing us forward. Which one will take
us forward is the question and travel if taken as
adventure where we always go to spots where we
are babies again and forced to relearn our steps, we
learn and are shown our weak points; all to the
good.
But travel is pain and discomfort. We want the
known and the habits demand that we don’t change
too much. It is a world of great variety that we
would love but without changing the mainframe. It
confuses the persona so.
Without the sensory inputs and the exigencies
demanded by the compulsions of the moment the
learning pressures that need be applied go missing
and that is what is creating the waste of energy and
time in this era of digital titillation. Telephony should
have been kept just that. Photography should have
30
remained just that. By mixing it all into a continuous
“without- effort-activity” we have taken the
“learning process” out of it. Our bodies are in their
comfort zone and this only leads to laziness and
more inertia. The subconscious is not challenged.
And pour THINKING has stopped.
Nothing therefore changes because there is no need
to.
Humans have been warned by Mother nature thru
many episodes.
But the carapace is thick and the mind indolent
beyond measure. We have only laid the foundation
for more acute trauma and chronic pain for
ourselves. The crescendo is coming.
I suppose this is the next experience humanity will
have to pass thru before the transformation really
begins.
The present moment in history will be known as the
moment when we were happy enough to poison
ourselves in multitude of ways for SHORT TERM
gains, lose our Natural health in the process and
tried to live long on food and environment that we
had poisoned willfully reprocessed it to
unrecognizable levels in all the most unthinkable
ways one could possibly could.
This invites the people who can to take advantage of
those they can.
31
• The enigma of the Placebo
it is the power of the subconscious that the
superficial mind, what we call THNKING, doesn't
grasp fully yet. This cannot be learnt through
statistical analysis as all individuals respond in
variety of different ways. The occult laws of the
nether regions are not the same as the upper outer
mind sees in action. The chances that this will be
understood fully (by the level of the mind of present
emancipation) is not on the high side.
• Haribol Acharya
What is the core message? Is the Bible something
praiseworthy or the Gita or something else? Or is our
culture richer than theirs? Or what is the truth?
Don’t think in such limited terms. The point is that
the Bible and the Gita and all other great books or
compilations have messages but over the thousands
of years they have all got garbled and over-explained
by small minds that have projected their self-
interests.
What we have now floating in the earth's
consciousness is a huge “khichdi” ( hotch potch) and
total confusion.
32
We need to leave all that behind, the rigidity of
thinking that it gives and the violence all this
engenders.
Back to square one and think from your point of your
questions and look for answers everywhere not in
just A BOOK" as all-in-all of life.
These books are now keeping humanity as a group -
back.
Looking for answers is a huge tantric science in itself;
this is what should be taught. People need
personalized answers. Not this blanket bombing that
is happening and making people regress into
primitive thinking of me-mine-yours, selfishness and
revenge attacks/arguments.
• Thoughts on Healing.
Let me please clarify. 18000 yrs ago this was the only
system on earth. It is THE system given to us by
Mother EARTH.
If we have forgotten or deny it, the error is ours.
The human body's design is so based and in tune
with this system that illness should never arise if we
understand and practice it properly.
There are on records people going to ages in
hundreds of years though I wonder I would wonder
why I would want to live that long for?
33
But our propensity for war and quarrels needed a
more dynamic surgery and materialistic system of
repairing the broken, torn asunder in the violent
lives we live (just imagine trying to help a man
squashed in an automobile accident or blown up by
a landmine with Ayurveda? Not possible).
And this is where modern medicine from the west
came. And even today it is a system of surgery and
tools to make life livable with crutches and support.
It is not a system to keep you healthy or curative in
character.
Each one of us is a small independent farm

We all live in our special place that we have made in
our minds like small farms dotted all over the planet
earth. All virtually independent, self-sustaining and
really can manage with little or no help from others.
We are not keeping each other away. No sir. We
meet casually, in a formal HI YOU THERE way and in
a crisis we do get together and see each other thru.
BUT ESSENTIALLY we are NOT for each other and we
prefer it this way because this INDEPENDENCE; this
need to be by ourselves and living under no pressure
to listen to another’s tune is primarily our way of
Being.
34
• We need to learn from the past but we never
do. Why? Because nothing gets past on.
My grandfather was an expert farmer. He never sat
with his children or played with them. Nothing was
ever taught to them from a personal angle. The
children did not take up farming. They went into
formal education and formal administrative jobs and
professions. A whole generation's learning was lost.
My father and his generation had no time for their
children who grew up without one sentence of
wisdom coming from the parents. Nothing was
passed on.
I personally do not remember even one sentence
from my father to help me understand life. We all
followed new callings.
So although we speak of learning from the past
every generation has to create its own “present” to
learn from. The past is expressly forgotten.
All the mistakes are repeated again and again.
Millions of years and nothing learnt yet in terms of
brotherhood, kindness and wealth creation.
• Humans really need to leave the thoughts of

certain periods to die down with the period.
35
Then there is also the fact that certain thoughts are
conveyed in vocabularies and style that is very
particular to a particular time/cultural ethos and in
other times these wise pronouncements become
ridiculous, specially when taken out of context.
The more stuck one is in one's mind and one's
thoughts because one is comfortable in the zone one
is and immovable in one's stance to evolving life,
what would you call it - stupidity - isn't it?
So logically Adaptability = intelligence.
• Rape as a tool of Mother Nature.
War and Rape has been Mother Nature’s tool to

spread its “purpose of “change” and “progress” and
intermingling of races.
Human morals may not see it nor like it.
There is some basic truth here. Mother Nature is
interested in "births". At a very slow but definite
speed it is evolving. Our morality may not accept it
but Mother Nature has only one wave like in the sea
and it goes on and on. Mother Nature does not
recognize man-made laws/morals and borders. It has
a purpose and everything serves its purpose.
Where and how it transpires does not bother it.
Violence and disorder is just another tool for it as is
love and order. The old has to be improved upon so
36
it has to go. Death is part and parcel of living. For the
time being, the state the human mind is in, cruelty
gets strongly enmeshed in the mix – this is how
human dynamism shows itself.
Genetics and DNA exchanges serve to strengthen the
human race. Cultural evolution has foundation in
intermingling of races.
The basic nature of humans should be studied. It
loves to copulate, fight, destroy and waste. Mother
Nature put it there primarily for its own ends. Notice
how floods help agriculture, how wars help cultural
integration and rape helps in sending the seeds far
and wide.
The concept of rape is a human construct. For
Mother Nature it is just another tendency and
activity.
Who and where the blade will strike is FATE and part
of life on Earth. Nobody has been able to police it or
control it as yet.
The spiritual and more humane angle sees it as
something we need to rise above for there is no
good reason to continue this in perpetuity. That
would be the correct thing.
It is the reason behind wars and pervertism (by our
philosophical standards and morality) in human
nature - why is it there what purpose does it serve? -
The animalistic sway that this powerful force has on
behaviour.
37
To Mother Nature it is plain and simple a
continuation of its natural birth and death policy +
renewal and refreshing of the elements.
I have specifically mentioned that our morals,
principles and laws are irrelevant. Mother Nature
does not recognize them.
So let us not harp on how things should be because
our “God” book says so.
 It is the thought that counts. The thought is the

seed. What has the humanity been upto? The
basic thought of humanity has been:
1)Provide food and goods for family
2) The unknown is the enemy
3) Kill the enemy.
4) I know what I am doing
The guy 10 000 years ago was thinking the same.
And today we are still thinking on the same lines.
So when is this EVOLUTION that we talk of going to
actually begin?
 The old “thought-patterns” that were needed

thousands of years ago which helped mankind
38
evolve are now keeping the human evolution
back.
The Sun, Moon and Mother Nature do not
frighten us anymore. We don’t cut out hearts to
feed to our gods to protect us from wars,
famines, and thunderstorms. The time has come
to grow into something bigger. We have to grow
up beyond our instinctive responses and logic of
the tribal communities. It will not happen
immediately but it will happen. It has to happen.
This creation is not stationary; it is in movement
and growing.
As and when we are ready, new ideas, concepts and
inventions come into our minds and there are always
individuals who have more expanded minds that
latch on to them and make them available as
theories or objects to others.
The human greed to have more is also a strong
motive factor. This is why we go conquering and
bring devastation in our wake but actually it is not
devastation but reconstruction devised by the
Creative Powers. It pumps in new blood into old
civilisations.
This is why although colonialism was hurtful to the
indigenous tribes all over the world it has also
helped to make the world move forward. What
merit is there in staying put in a culture and thought
pattern for ever and ever?
This is why industrialization although being near to

39
magic and destructive to Nature, it did take
humanity forward. It is also now showing the
backwardness of humans who are not able to
receive this gift of a better life-style; they are
unfortunately destroying themselves with it but it
has also awakened a huge number of beings on the
planet. The stupidity of human greed, lack of self-
control, the avarices …. All have come to the top like
cream in a bottle of milk.
We should be happy to see that all over the world
the traditionally naturopathic tribal cultures are now
waking up and reforming with modern thought
patterns.
There is a definite growing of awareness about
human psychology and the world around us; the
physics and chemistry of it and how basically
ignorant we are and we have been trying to conceal
it by shows of tradition and bravado as already being
super cultures.
Humans are so lazy and averse to change. They have
to first agree to change. Humanity has to then get
together and strive as one.
Not only the tribal cultures, the elite intellectual
cultures is being dashed to the ground. But for the
time being the resistance is great. The Hippie
movement pout everything to question and started a
movement to think differently and more cohesively
and integrally taking Mother Nature as partner as
40
against the arrogance of humans who thought
through their science they could control life.
Everything is leading to this new rebirth. We have to
now surpass our own intelligence and all that we
have achieved till date. All our thought patterns
about our own superiority and divine self, our
religions, morals and misconceived world of gods on
which we pattern our social structure has to go; will
eventually go.
Religions based on thought patterns of long ago still

control us. Why can’t we think ahead?
See for example how communications have speeded
up, how goods and services have become universally
available, how dishonesty has spread and is being
unmasked.... all this is leading to chaos apparently
but as we all know reconstruction can happen only
when the old establishment has been razed to the
ground.
As Sri Aurobindo mentioned in his aphorisms: The
mind was the helper; the mind is the bar.
PS: I see thoughts as waves coming into our minds,

passing thru the subconscious and presenting them-
selves as something personal. No they are not of our
manufacture. We are simply sensitive to them and
allow them free reign in our minds.
Our desires and aspirations or problems are the
41
triggers helped by reasoning and all the data
collected in our minds.

Sally Boult
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari, May I have my say now?
Indigenous people all over the world were hurt by
colonisation because they weren't meant to change
their culture or way of life. They were quite happy
and content with how they were, thank you very
much! That's why there are so many problems with
integration and racism. Colonisation took them over,
against their will or advantage, it's a pity it is too late
to leave them out of this.
PK: Your sentence “they weren't meant to change”
is not in concordance with the evolutionary vibes in
this Creation. Mother Nature, Mother Earth moves
slowly…like one millimeter per 100 years but it is
moving. Wars are one the tools to disintegrate old
patterns and integrate others distant ones into a
new whole.
Try to think in terms of evolution and change. In the
last 1 million years has the earth remained stuck at
any cultural point in any species?
It all sounds bad & sad to the limited human mind.
Our human feelings and morals and our need to stay
put is making you think in terms of "NO CHANGE".
We are not here to be content and happy but to
evolve. Mother Nature couldn’t care less of what
42
humans think. The populace on this earth is not here
on a 5 star vacation.
Whenever things and cultures start to stagnate, the
process of change gets initiated which is active in the
fabric of this Creation.
For Mother Earth we are just another species of
insects.
NB: It is Mother Earth's call. Your thoughts and
emotions do NOT matter. You have little say in this
existence.
2 things (thought patterns are keeping us back and in
“Disaster Mode”
!) Our plans to LIVE on Earth
2) Our management of health.
Let me ask you you…..
Are we; is anyone thinking about this:

I had read quite some time ago that supply of water
to a city like Phoenix comes from great distances
away.
The amount of water needed in cities goes way
beyond measure that nature can really supply.
On the other hand the water is WASTED" ( "literally")
mainly in long showers and long tub soaks, flushing,
dish & clothes washers, swimming pools that are
hardly used and keeping the grass green.
43
Technically this makes the surrounding country side
totally dry because every drop is being squeezed to
supply into the city. (the wild fires are no accident)
Additionally the city is a huge concrete block, a blot
on Nature that concentrates heat in one spot. ALL the
water is locked inside this block.
As every earthen opening is cemented over the earth
does not get a drop to drink even when the Mother
sends rain. The city streets become waterways and
look for outlets to remerge with the waterways. In
other places we have encroached upon the river
ways. If there are floods and devastation, is it a
surprise?
You get the picture?
Medicine and the practice of it needs to be

considered in its pragmatic aspect too. For that
matter the entire western medicine concept
disregards the Natural way and we in the East see it
as rather cruel. It does seem to be too machine shop
in its approach.
In their thinking pattern, the westerners when (for
example) they travel, they see only the metalled road
and miss the rest around them. All they see is a
wonderfully clear road and a comfortable hassle-free
drive.
It is the need of making medicine into a profitable
business that the system now known as western
44
medicine came into being. Simplicity is its hallmark.
Designate a disease. By protocol have a treatment
assigned. Diagnosis is a big game and very lucrative
too. Drugs are formulated specifically for specific
diseases without consideration to the working of the
human body. And this is standardized for all. Doctors
are taught only this. Alternative systems are
disparaged and labeled as unscientific. So the
hospitals can work like machines. The drug
manufacturers can churn out in tons. Patients can be
looted easily in this system.
Cures are not really the aim although if cures did not
happen the system would die out so a balance is kept.
Deep down they all know that the body has great
healing powers and it heals itself in spite of the
interference.
But they don’t accept and treat the body like a piece
of dead meat that needs their interfering treatments.
It by-passes the natural system totally. It overpowers
the natural system to give relief and that is what the
people go for instead of cures. The relief part is really
helpful. The side effects and damage are accepted as
exceptions; this is so convenient. Mechanical supports
do the rest for comfort.
Most of the procedures accepted since the end of
19th century have interfered with the natural body
and we feel although some diseases have been
arrested, a lot of the medication is creating mutant
45
diseases in the humans and giving rise to new
maladies.
The entire basis of modern medicine philosophy is
based on “AVOIDING DEATH”.
It is very reassuring, sounds great and the moral
purpose is as high as anything in medicine can be.
People are really taken by the simplicity of it.
But is death avoidable? And is it worth extending life-
spans aimlessly?
Now suppose we think a little more pragmatically and
naturally. We are a product of nature. We are art of
its biochemistry and life pattern. Can we separate
ourselves from it all?
• Arye Michael Bender

When we fully understand from our core that we are
all One. Perhaps only then will we evolve from there.
Such understanding only from the intellectual sphere
is not enough. It is from where we experience
knowing at every level of our existence.
Yes. Totally agree except instead of saying we are all
one, I would say that we are all made from the same
elements with the same Spirit behind us. The
elements are not in the same mix and this is what
46
gives us variety. Combinations and permutations are
simply too many to count.
 Ken Timper
In our culture we believe in romantic love, and one
mate for life. This may work for some, but other
cultures have different ideas, are they wrong?
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari.
1) Our "BELIEFs" are mental constructs so we can
believe anything we want. How things are as Mother
Nature has devised them is what we must discover
and understand and go by.
2) What humans call LOVE are passionate
outpourings of the moment.
The quality of love a human can show depends much
on the level of spiritual emancipation and maturity.
So how things and stories will unfurl out is more
dependent on the maturity of people than culture
and beliefs.
3) One of the elements that is indicative of human
nature as any general psychological study would
show is that humans are not given to be sincere in
their words/dispositions, deviate easily from their
avowed promises and mostly live in the moment and
are creatures of habit or practical/pragmatic
necessities.
47
4) Long term pairings have been forced by human
laws (understandably because humans realize their
weaknesses) and not as a natural tendency although
when the act of living together goes on for a long
period it becomes an accepted state by habit and
even mutual fondness becomes permanent. Easy
divorce has revived this malaise.
PS: If humans wish to avoid self-destruction, points
such as these will have to be considered.
Humans need to stake some hard decisions which

they are not prepared to. Such as......
Stop this: 1) Unbridled sex and making childbirth an
undeniable right & fun, 2) Vehicles more than 120 hp
engines in the cities 3) Every apple to be accounted
for as "used" - no throwing away or allowing food to
waste away.
etc etc etc
* Rajendra Mahajan
Are there better options?
Yes. Let us be more honest. Saves time and bother.
And have the courage to experience and live out the
consequences. Or be tactful, diplomatic and
understanding which is quite a strain if you ask me
and makes you live a life of charade and being
untrue to yourself.
48
* One thing that I see when I look back is that
Providence (call it God if you will) took me
everywhere I wanted to be and gave me
opportunities galore by the tons but I was too mixed
up to understand and therefore take advantage.
I was just too afraid to take the plunge
into the possibilities laid in front of me
on a silver platter.
I can easily blame this on mental make-up then, due
to my education and fears instilled in me in
childhood. I wish I had been groomed to be more
fearless and courageous.
So, to my coming generations I have this to say. Go

ahead without fear. Providence knows!
* The difference between the limits and working

styles of the Indian and western mind is crystal clear
if you see the way they bring out their music. (Not
just Indian but most of the orient and naturalistic
tribals too)
The westerners with dozens of people together in an
orchestra can make music with one voice and in
49
harmony to the point that the choir sound like one
voice.
The Indian on the other hand can only give solo
performances with accompaniment of drum beaters
at the most and even there sometimes there are
misunderstandings - one trying to outdo the other.
Is it a surprise then that with their discipline and

control over their mental faculties and with their
personal emotions on hold they were able to
colonise 3/4th of the earth?
* We have three way of living out this life:

1) Creatively.
Every dot is taken seriously. Observed and
examined. Studied and an attempt made to
understand its place in Creation. All questions that
come up are studied deeply to resolve eventually.
Life becomes an educational trip and fun trying out
new adventures. Change is wanted and welcome.
2) Meticulously.
Elders are listened to and obeyed. Laws obeyed and
rules followed. Tradition is given importance and
change is not liked as it may rock the boat.
50
3) Routinely
The mind is not used. One is born and one just
wallows in the pond one is thrown in till death ends
the journey.
This is literally true.

Do first, think later is the advice given on the path of
“sadhana” to enlightenment.
51
People who are worried about their image always
stay back and never attempt or do anything naturally
as they are afraid of being laughed at or sustaining a
loss. Those who think before they leap never do.
Act; let the troubles come… nothing like instant
karma and feedback to teach long lasting and deeply
effective lessons that bring real change. Use the
moment to understand and improve yourself.
 We exult in our show of prayers.

When humbugs pretend to pray (with great
drama added), the prayers go to humbug
gods. pk
Has anyone thought how depressing it might be to
the gods who might secretly be despairing for the
human race?
I speak of exulting about the virtues we see in our
prayers and ceremonies that we think would be
pleasing to the gods.
The point is the gods are our mind's creation. We
pray to them, devise elaborate ceremonies. We have
no personal lived-in experience of them but we are
maddeningly certain about them and we go berserk
when according to our lore the gods are displeased.
52
The real gods if there are any couldn't care less as
nobody asked them what would please them for the
simple reason we are not in touch with them.
Boy, the forms we give them and the character we
bestow upon them is a wonder of imagination.
And our convictions that we are spiritual and really
living a Divine life is even more astounding.
- Kathy Glover
The gods don’t get depressed. They’re gods!
- Pradeep Pk Maheshwari
By human lore they get angry, don't they? Then why
not depressed?
The point is we cannot talk of gods as if we know
them. We obviously don't.
All our thoughts of Them are constructions of the
human mind.
This does not mean gods don’t exist; but not as we
picture them.
 The best possible (theoretically at least)

safeguard against illness is to keep a highly
positive vibration without fear.
53
And keep the body positively fed while existing in a
clean environment.
Understand where the weak points in your
constitution are and protect one-self by not
indulging in unsafe practices that would or could use
these weaknesses to allow entry of illness or virus
into our bodies.
On the Pandemic of 20-21: The vaccination drive.
In an enlightened environment, all the wealth
wasted in this drive could have gone in improving
"treatment", better immunity producing foods and
cleaning up the environment.
All the present leaders could think of was profiting
from the pandemic thru this concept of saving the
world.
 Why is it that only a gun to one's head makes this

humanity move?
My answer: Because we refuse to be kind in our
thinking. We think threats will get us what we
require faster and when we have the baton of
authority, might as well use it.
And the truth is humans will tell lies, obfuscate, talk
and argue but rarely make a move if they can help it.
Then our focus is also to blame. Most of us are busy
in accumulating purchasable wealth and use all the
54
short-cut methods available to us like robbery,
misappropriation, cheating, temptations etc.
55
 We are too lazy to live/think/do for ourselves.
They are only taking advantage. We go into their
clutches with free will.
 When you have nothing to prove to anyone and

have no need to worry about being appreciated
you become human in a godly way.
 We make a serious mistake in our judgment of

human character when we think that there is a
"constant". A hungry man behaves totally in a
different manner compared to a man that has
eaten well. (I read in an analysis that we should
always go buying for groceries after eating well as
then we buy less)
The “love” of today can easily become the distaste of
tomorrow.
From this we must gather that it is more a matter of
exigencies of the moment. Need, greed, lust,
satiation, hunger, desperation, need for variety,
opportunity, “chance” and often gratitude/affection
56
all play their part as and when they are uppermost
on the mind.
Our illnesses are also affected through the state of
our minds. So what works for one will totally not
work for another and what works one day might not
work on other days. Western medicine does not take
this into consideration and this is where it errs.
 Yesterday I was watching a documentary on

Gurus in USA. It seems the best place in the world
to start your guru business is the USA. The clients
are ready to listen and the laws make it lucrative.
It is a funny country where people follow criminals
and proven charlatans and are ready to take loans to
pay for being attended to by them and their spiritual
attention.
What is astonishing is the level of inadequacy and
weak character Americans show although from the
news one sees that it is also the place for the most
dynamic of activities; so much so that it makes them
violent.
There is a definite need in the American character to

become more resilient and self-dependent. There
isn't enough challenge in their lives to make them
57
strong from within and they are forever looking for
support from without. I was wondering why. To me
it seems that they are having it rather too good.
Everything in life is regulated and life moves like a
well-oiled machinery; there is safety and care. You
can afford to be irresponsible for yourself. There is
no sense of responsibility on the SELF.
But what I saw was the level of people and gurus;
there was nothing spiritual; only a lot of dramatic
effect and mumbo jumbo. Their highest spiritual
aspiration is to have sublime sex.
Ii all boils down to promotion of their Ego-Self.
Some notes by friends:

Ken Timper
There is a possibility of 'ascending,' and becoming
an 'instrument of the light,' but--and most people
don't like this one--there is also the flip side of that:
descending further into
darkness/corruption/fragmentation [internally].
Unfortunately, it's easier to descend than ascend
(psychologists might say 'grow') because that is the
path of least resistance, esoterically: to follow and
serve ego. We are presently witnessing this in the
collective. Worse, like a snowball rolling downhill,
it gets more and more difficult to stop and reverse,
58
as it gathers momentum. Imagine being caught in a
feedback loop that continually strengthens itself.
This is the state of mankind in a nutshell.
Ken Timper
Isn't it funny how you need Ids and papers for

everything these days? Even to wipe your butt 😛
It's a way to control us, at least that's the way I see
it.
It is a kneejerk reaction by the governing people

who really do not have the wisdom to govern the
unruly side of the general populace. Animals and
children although they may cross 18 years never
really can self-determine or control as their minds
rarely cross the 7-8 years old state.
Ken Timper
Throw the bums out if need be. You were put not
here to wear their albatross or carry dead weight!
59
Yes we tend to be TOO compassionate out of our
own attachments or self-interest & end up
supporting weaklings of ill character.
Parris Ja Young
You have highly refined tastes in art, Pk.
I differ in some respects with your assertions,
however.
I believe technology offers help, but it is also a
poison that may doom human beings. It is widely
debilitating.
60
If technology and the staying power of old, non-
technological cultures could join in non-destructive
fusion, we could live in peace upon the Earth.
It's a tricky marriage.
I am not one against the other.
For instance I have a cellphone but use landlines for
all purposes. The cellphone is used only when out
of the house or like in today's internet world it is
required for OTPs, identification etc.
What’s App is a good tool for business.
I use a desktop and actually hate laptops and this
carrying it with you everywhere like a bluidy slave
to it.
I like instant coffee for its ease of use.
I use the car for essential travelling. My car is the
best working but most unusual looking and the
least in market value.
The latest tech fabrics are a boon I admit.
etc etc
Parris Ja Young
Maybe we live too long.
I went for 72 years without pills. Today I take some
that are required and some supplements as well. I
61
realize I never should have eaten refined sugar --
ever!
I believe in natural medicine. In prayer. In eating
close to the earth. In clean air and clean water.
Yet after the past four days I am beginning to
consider a hip replacement. How can I remain a
Child of God as I become a Borg -- half artificial? I
wear glasses. Got some plastic teeth. Eat pills.
Western medicine is great with "component parts",
not so hot with holistic health.
I like the Ayurvedic approach to health, and let
western medicine take care of my flat tires.
 Is it possible to erase, wipe the slate clean

regarding our SINs?
I personally think not.
For once thing what is written in the wind cannot be
unwritten or rewritten.
So, all these atonements we practice and activities
like taking baths in the Ganges and charities and
Confessions do nothing really.
They actually worsen the situation.
Yes they worsen the situation because this clearly
means that you are aware of your sins, weaknesses,
62
errors and wrong-doing; instead of trying to mitigate
the actions of the past, more insincere actions are
being added to the list.
The only way to dilute all the implications of our
actions is to not repeat and change the vibes around
us by entering honesty and sincerity as elements in
all we do.
We are creatures of habit and may talk to the penny
a dozen about virtues but practice what is in our self-
interest and do not really see need for change. After
all Gods are open to bribery!
This dishonesty and continuation of the habits
thinking that you can later again wash your sins off
always remains a possibility at the back of our
minds.
PS: The unspoken truth is that we humans do not
really know how we are continuously being
dishonest in pursuance of our petty goals, how we
transfer our patterns onto others and blame them
and how in our actions we are playing with
insincerity and the ramifications which are the coins
thru which we have to pay for in the long run. Real
change needs change in the sincerity and honesty
levels in the foundation itself of human character
which does not seem to be happening.
 Don’t expect this view-point to be very freely

accepted.
63
We have to admit that our practices in life-style and
medicine has so depleted the human body of its
natural strength that even a small virus like many
others of its kind is able to devastate us.
It is a certainty that has been observed that the
"MODERN" man is the most attacked and easily
succumbing.
I have seen in my circle all those who have been
sporting a glamorous life-style of excesses like eating
out, ordering take out-outs, eating synthetically &
industrially processed packaged foods, living
protected from the elements, taking antibiotics for
even small ailments, often steroids too, or popping
pills for every occasion or worse indulging in drugs of
any kind/alcohol, have suffered the most because
technically they were already sick with now common
ailments (like diabetes, hypertension, cirrhosis)
among others. Indoor living in controlled weather
conditions has further reduced the body's strength.
From the medical point of view of a more human
natural system of medicine the western medicine
seems almost CRUEL. Treatments like chemo,
dialysis, and transfusions cannot be really termed as
medicine. They have their purpose agreed like the
same can be said for all their drugs but these are
highly interfering with damaging side effects.
I think the reaction of the governments and medical
authorities among others has been so virulent and
64
top-hand heavy because they cannot afford to let
this thinking take root or become evident.
To switch to natural healthy state of affairs would
mean to ditch or at least reduce and change the
entire food industry, farming, medical approach,
hospital operations and drug formulations, the use
of electricity and motor vehicles and excesses in
every sphere of life. This is unthinkable presently.
Individuals are not ready to impose any discipline or
restrictions on their selves.
Our mental states being what they are now, only
disasters will change our way of thinking.
The human mind is totally overtaken by whatever is
going on and the life they have built. The obvious is
simply being ignored with a derision that is
astounding.
I am certain that 50 years hence or even earlier this
will become evident.
Humans are like living weakened edifices but
supported on crutches by extra poles. A small tap
from a small hammer to even a single pole is making
the edifice come down with a bang.
* Are hospitals places of healing? (here is a reply

from Ken Timper worth noting)…. Ken Timper
I think they are happy here in the US when people
are sick. While the news complains that the hospitals
65
are overwhelmed with patients, the hospitals, being
for profit entities, secretly LOVE IT! They make more
money off covid patients than most others.
66
67
 There are many memes, over-simplified
assumptions and quotes going around that sound
deep but on the pragmatic level are meaningless.
I saw one on traumas recently; saying something
like that makes it look simple and easily rectified.
Traumas get deeply embedded in the subconscious
and therefore difficult to change and treat. It has to
be first understood and this requires experience
which only the trauma will give to fully appreciate
how it affects. People usually associate their "I" with
their traumas or whatever and are reluctant to part
with the memories or change.
It is so convenient to hook one’s weaknesses and
problems on this hook of traumatic experience and
events and blame somebody else/others for all the
ills we are suffering from and rarely thinking of
looking for ways and means to rise above it and get
out of.
We have to learn to see it in action in others and
objectively see its destructive action. This is very
sobering.
This then changes our thinking and repetitive self-
instruction brings about change. But at the same
time one has to learn to dissociate from the whole
thing and realise that we are not it. The act of
dissociation usually happens due to negative
experiences about life and when disgust sets in. It is
at this juncture one looks within at oneself.
68
But most people get so much sympathy for their ills
and weaknesses that they stay smug and well stuck
into this mode.
This societal stress on being nice, supportive, kind
etc can be a negative process when correction and
strengthening of the persona is required.
What is needed is support and understanding but no
reinforcement in any way - subtle or otherwise.
Most humans in general have no understanding or
patience of these things and nothing can really be
done or will happen.
Healers are ineffective because the influences in the
world actually reinforce the act of living in a
weakened state of mind and personality.
Depression is - " not being appreciated and not
getting what one wants".
On the same lines is love - it is the opposite of above.
Jo Dot Quercus
Pradeep I think I must be fortunate then that no
spoken or unspoken influence, medium or resulting
construction is allowed to deter me from my greater
good in any way unless it resonates with who I'm
constantly evolving into 🙏
69
Yes. This also happens to be the first step in creating
a real individual as explained to us in the yoga of the
mind.
You know how people make fun of blonds. This is how
most of the humans parading the earth seem to
"individuals" with a well honed and purposeful mind.
 The lazy man lives from day to day.

The apathetic man lives from event to event.
The intelligent man can but he cannot - the rest of
humanity wont let him.
So we wait for KARMA to do whatever has to be done.
 I explain to most people how our characters are

formed this way: We are all born with a given
disposition. To this is added the atmosphere and
individual natures of the people in the family we
are born.
If pour parents/family or milieu is not very "positive"
our negative propensities thrive. This is like opening
a portal to the negative forces who then gradually
establish themselves and become the persona of the
individual.
70
Of course when an individual goes out into the
world, he clashes with other entities. This gives rise
to to the incessant "wars" in our lives and
consequences thereof.
Another aspect is our need to find support through
entities that we have installed as gods/goddesses in
places of so called 'worship". Often entities do make
their homes there. When we pray to them we are
expressly bringing them home and into our deep
psyche. Our prayers are mostly expressions of
desires or wishes so it makes the transfer easy and
they are rarely positive.
This can create havoc.
I had this experience when I visited with foreign
tourists the temple in Sriragapatnam where Tipu
Sultan took his last stand and died. I was plagued
with nightmares for some times till I asked for help
from a friend to clear the air around me.
Lorrie Grenier
At a dying bed of a friend, i saw she had two demons
who have plagued her throughout her life. they were
watching her and were close. nasty creatures. one was
attached to smoking. she smoked several packs a day. i
didn't focus to find out about the other as i knew they
were aware of me. instead i did other things. yes, all
sorts of ills have demons creatures feeding off the
person who has the addiction.
71
 Humanity is caught up in a time warp.
I have become so tired of the human form, male and
female but no personal contact that I am beginning
to develop an allergy to pictures of the physical body
only. We are inundated thru the media.
After all how different are we?
And how many breasts and thighs can we watch day
in and day out?
I think what is most attractive is the eyes. And the
eyes that look at you in affectionate friendship, they
are the only things worth looking at.
72
 One of the advice I regularly give is that stop
"reading & learning" after the age of 40. LIVE
what you have gathered.
Go out there and make a mess of your life. Enjoy the
present (literally and figuratively).
In our attempt to become a successful earthling we
forget living. We are unfortunately taught right from
the beginning that we are too inconsequential to
amount to anything.
It is only long later that we realise that this is a trick
by our elders and society to keep us in line and
feeling subjugated to the elders. A whole set of
guidelines have been laid down to follow to make us
feel virtuous and this is a worse trap than the feeling
of a sinner.
73
Know that there is nothing on this earth that was not
put on earth by the Creator along with you. There is
no wrong or right. The concept of SIN (PAAP in Hindi)
is a monstrous imposition to control our natural
tendencies and control our minds.
This has reduced humankind to pygmies; perpetually
afraid and striving to please other humans and their
gods.
Go. Free yourself from these chains and LIVE.
 It is bad and stupid to rely on info without being

aware of its source. But that is a very personal
thing; yet sitting tight and silent won’t do. The
people need to think in terms of taking
responsibility. Trusting people and organizations
that have no mercy in their hearts and are
leeching on the public for their own profits is a
point to consider. The governments lately have
not shown much wisdom in their governance. The
Blind trust is worse.
So we should keep quiet and let things be?
I am not a politician or head of an Ashram raking up
an issue that would help me divide and rule.
Before something can be corrected and stopped it
has to be raked up, acknowledged.
74
But more often than not I am censored for bringing
up a subject that most humans would want to hide
deep down under the carpet and feel disturbed if
discussed.
Objections, exceptions are laid out in great form.
Let us not allow our inertia to drown us.
I understand that the natural tendency would be to
let the things be. This is the basic problem. We are
not fighting the ills – we are fighting to maintain the
lack of intention in correcting, improving and
bettering our lot.
Whatever one may say the idea of raking up
anything if it is followed by a solution then it is
worth it I think. There is a new wave of ultra-
sophisticated kind people who philosophise that it is
none of their business and the world has a right to
live as they please. To me this looks more like
washing hand off the subject with roots in our
inertia, laziness and sense of self-preservation – why
get into trouble?
But then, when we are not asking anyone to follow,

where is the problem? We are not criticizing anyone
in particular and neither are we giving advice or
pontificating! A subject is being discussed that is all.
Speak up and don’t be an instrument to allow wrong
movement to hop-step-and-jump on in this show of
virtuousness by letting sleeping dogs lie.
75
Let us go the other way.
Let us make them think.
Take this beautiful remark in pictures below. It
reinforces my point that we need to rake up issues
and try to better our behavior, atmosphere and
general consciousness.
Thousands of years ago this was true and still equally
true.
Why? Because we accept it as part of us although we
talk of sincerity and generosity and Kindness, we
don’t mean one tiny bit of anything. We are
humbugs.
Most people make only the minimum required effort
to make a living, exist in society with a basic
respectability and vie with the Jonesses.
PS: This is a discussion forum so discuss like good
philosophers if not activists.
 We want company and aloofness at the same

time & complain of loneliness. Is it a ploy for
attention?
76
 Integration.
Do you allow your Soul to speak to you?
77
 To be respected and appreciated in this world you
need to be one of "them". This is how a
semblance of order is maintained. It is a circular
loop of mental imprisonment that does not allow
humanity to move forward.
To break away means being cut-off from the food
and water supply in this 20th/21st century.
Technically "THEY" have won the evolution race.
Only Mother Nature is on our side.
* 4 sentences that changed my life.
These four sentences stamped my outlook about life

and made me pursue life differently. None of these
sentences made any sense to me then at the age of
16-17 but became the goal-posts for me to
understand and find the answers.
At the time I heard them they perplexed me no end.
1) From an elder brother/teacher in the Ashram:

“Look how he walks like a prince.”
2) From my Didi (elder sister) who took me under her
care: “has your arrogance reduced any?”
3) From the book Mother gave me: “…. then you will
see that humanity is living upside down on its head.
78
4) From the Reader’s Digest: “The graveyard is full of
people who thought they were indispensable”
 “Parents not recognizing the uniqueness and the

potential that their children possess” has been a
subject that has preoccupied me always. It was
on top of my list even when I took my first
teaching job nearly 60 years ago. It has always
been a sad issue and now at my age it is keeping
me very sad indeed. I have seen so many of the
children at close quarters in my circle of relations
and friends where the brilliance of the child was
utilized and channeled by the parents to continue
in their own “life-stream” to complete their
(parent’s) life’s purpose.
The attachment the child has for his/her parent is
totally misused.
Not that the parents do it with thought-out
intent; they are made that way (as all humans
are). If anyone is to be blamed it is Mother
Nature. It is the inherent selfishness at work in all
of us.
It requires a lot of effort to come out of this
selfish cocoon, to rise above considerations that
come with only our fixed-view of life guiding us.
The sadness is due more to the fact that even
when the parents get the guidance thru some
79
good luck or another; they plod on with their
selfish motives sub consciously running their
lives. I think the principal fear is of children
leaving them alone to fend for themselves in
later/older years. We are so proud of ourselves
that we cannot see beyond our noses.
Hardly a good reason to shackle the child; no?
We all decry and vociferously criticize the

misdemeanors of others because of their
selfishness yet fail to see that our act of
having/raising children is the supreme
“selfishness” of them all.
When will we learn to listen to our children and
let them fly…. even away?!!!
 Our sadness is directly proportional to the

intensity of attachment in possessiveness. Yet
nothing on Earth belongs to us. We know it.
 Being kind to oneself means not making yourself

compromise to avoid certain things, people and
situations.
80
I was educated to live at the highest level of
consciousness I could and thought. But the world is
not always ready to go along with you. This turned
my life into a confrontation. The elders could not
grasp the need that was motivating me and all they
were able to understand in all this was that I was an
unfriendly, quarrelsome, argumentative brat. And
they freely announced this to the world thereby
making my life even more difficult and my person
non-acceptable....the traces of which still follow me
at the age of 75.
So before we take these short two lines of advisories
seriously, we must also consider the consequences.
What sounds good may not be always what the
doctor ordered. There is no one size hat that fits all.
It is a point to consider and it all depends on many
factors operative in any person’s life.
You are the best judge. Just keep your mind and
heart open to what life is trying to tell you. When
you stop and reflect, the in-built intelligence guiding
you will show the way.
 I found early how easy it was to make humans

think in a given direction and make their
emotions move in a desired direction. All that
was needed were a few selected words and eye
81
connections in a beautiful caring sort of way and
men and women fall into the trap as if free honey
being given away.
It was so easy as to make human relationships really
a put-off for me due to the lack of sincerity or depth.
I found that emotionally and mentally people could
be switched on and off with such ease as to make
the whole relationship business a joke. And by the
way I found that the moment the inputs were
withdrawn the effect would die out. This
phenomenon is seen so clearly in the falling in & out
of "love.”
What is said and the atmosphere and environment
you create to say it in are the important factors
because the words are seeds that sprout trees in the
mind. The mind of the listener/recipient is primed to
be affected thru education and conditioning. You
have to know about this too to be effective.
The style of functioning and communicating in USA
would for example not work in India.
PS: This is also the reason behind the USELESSNESS

of democratic way of voting to choose leaders. The
worst bums but expert manipulators get elected.

“Since an early age I had this fun and funny attitude
to life, god and philosophy of the humans on the
seriousness of their comportment.
Well humans laughed at me. I found them ridiculous.
Specially their concepts of God and religious
virtuousness.”
I am glad to read this quote by Alan Watts:

PK
Do you suppose that God takes himself seriously? I
know a Zen master, Joshu Sasaki, who has let it be
known that the best form of meditation is to stand
up with your hands on your hips and roar with
laughter for ten minutes every morning. I have heard
of a sophisticated shaman-type fellow who used to
cure ringworm on cows just by pointing at the scars
and laughing. Truly religious people always make
jokes about their religion; their faith is so strong that
they can afford it. Much of the secret of life consists
in knowing how to laugh, and also how to breathe.
~ AW
In My Own Way: An Autobiography
(Copied from Johnny Tuesday's post in The Alan
Watts Creation)
84
 Just because you say it laughingly, doesn't make it
funny & you never intended it so.
 Our thinking is a motley collection of what we

have seen and ASSUMED.
Most of us speak from acquired wisdom that we

have learnt mainly from books and also imbibed
while growing up from our elders.
Some, a small bunch speak from experience. They
are the ones with real knowledge.
But how do we know who is who and whose
knowledge is worth-the-while listening to? We
don’t.
Most people listen to the rooster that makes the
most noise and/or presents his case most
charmingly.
We all have a lot to say. Our wisdom in our own eyes
is more than adequate. So much so that we believe
that we can “help & guide” others if they only
listened to us.
 To Create a wholesome happy atmosphere

(mahowl in Hindi/Urdu) home:
85
How will the "Mahowl" become/happen?
For this you need education, exposure to the wide
world (meaning some travel outside your community
of birth). Reading to understand and gain other
thoughtful ideas and philosophies + Basic knowledge
of many things of everyday life so others cannot
cheat you. We must know enough so that we are not
dependent on others for every small thing.
But what we do in general is the opposite. We start
life by burdening our meager resources avoiding
education and with marriage and children. All our
money goes there. We are tied down before we have
begun. Stress and un-evolved nature of parents,
neighbors, relatives and society spoils the
atmosphere of the home and neighborhood.
When I see the narrow mindedness and
authoritarianism of our parents, I am very saddened.
 The thing is we don’t know what we are doing to

others. We justify our actions with many
“plausibles” especially when we are angry and
feel the need to correct and punish. We shall
know what it is like when we shall be at the
receiving end. Life always makes the actions
come back full circle one of these days.
86
 With nothing better to do, I was watching/surfing
the TV and landed on a war movie. Again the
violence, the need to obey dirty orders, the need
to suppress all humane emotions and see
everyone under your commend die etc. hit me
like a canon shot. I just cannot take the violence
and cruelty I see in human affairs.
What is it that violence is our first line of
“SOLUTION” to all problems and desires? Is it
because we are unconsciously deeply aware of
the shortness of life and we want everything now
or/and all problems sorted out NOW!???
The man using his belt to tame his child and wife,
the wife shrieking away to hurt with abuse, the
boss abusing and threatening, the police enjoying
the power they have over people and showing all
their Satanic propensities wherever they safely
can, the brainless and heartless legal system, the
invasive medical procedures, the army and its
code and governments fighting it away to
suppress and creating insurgents thereby
multiplying the effect etc. etc. etc.
But we talk “peace”, charity and love!
87
How bloody hypocritical are we?!!!!
Or is this being human?
 Is the media lying? Not really; just changing a

word here & there like we all do to change the
narrative to suit their agenda.
See this example:
I wrote: “Do you feel attracted to…….”
In the rewriting my friend wrote: “…they are
seeking…”
There is a vast difference between “attracted” &

“seeking”.
 Women are neither difficult nor impossible.

Most women want to see if you are going gaga over
them. They need to see you losing control. This is
something to do with deep seated subconscious
occult patterns that are the foundation of "selection"
of the most virile male and will complement the
completeness of the mixing up of DNAs in the child
(coming generation) to result in the best possible
combination of a strong healthy race.
88
The child will need a strong, affectionate male and
the women try to ensure (subconsciously of course)
to get a man who will stay the course and mate for a
lifetime.
 God amongst us.

As a general human being what we have is a
CONCEPTION of God. It is a mental construct. The
form of God that we talk of is all a fabrication of our
mind.
Emancipation and realizing god into enlightenment is
also a process that we have visualised and is mostly
an imagined product of our minds.
Then what is this enlightenment that all seem to
want to achieve?
AS we remove our negative propensities by
disciplined living we perceive a change of vibes. The
power play on earth around us seems to change as
our attitude changes in matters of what we consider
truth, correct and positively inclined.
WE slowly come into the Intuitive mind domain and
this is the beginning of alignment with the WISDOM
that permeates every cell in the fabric of this
creation. As the spread, width and depth of our
89
consciousness grows we start laughing at our basic
concepts.
We start feeling one with the Creator whoever he is.
It is at this stage we realise that there is no definable
god at all.
But yes there are entities that philander around as
minor gods and most people who say they have seen
god, normally have had contact with these; some of
these entities are also very powerful and grand. They
can even project themselves in the form the human
has earlier conceived. The human is easily fooled and
in his own arrogance of having found god becomes a
willing slave and instrument to mostly create havoc.
In these minor entities there are many good hearted
ones too. All these entities loved to be prayed to.
This is where the concept of God, Devil and Angels

came from.
Jo Dot Quercus
... a lot of what you suggest is not far from my own
current working theory/belief (till I get to the next
one lol)
I notice as I evolve I'm less bothered about what
others believe (unless it's harmful), more humble
and eternally doubtful about any detail to support
90
my beliefs (it's only words and thinking anyway) and
more content that things are revealed and reached
in everyone's own time (otherwise there wouldn't be
much point in acting it out)
It certainly gets harder to articulate as we get more
used to the [perceived?] vibrational language of the
universe
Jo Dot Quercus, yes. you have put it into words very
well. At least it matches my own journey and I
understand it perfectly.
I have mentioned often that we who wish to
communicate must then also spend time and effort
to master the language and intuitively understand
which words/phrases create what effect in the minds
of the general populace.
Otherwise it just becomes some more words floating
around that no one really understands or does it
improperly which is worse than not understanding.
91
 People tend to pull (attract attention) but also
maintain walls in their relationships. A lot
depends on the fears instilled in their minds by
parenting. The education later then cements an
attitude. There is a pure soul behind trying to
peep out but rarely gets a chance.
Life is harsh and can put you on the defensive.
92
All this needs to be understood when we try to
communicate. Most will maintain only a functional
relationship whatever you do or try. Just be what
you are.
 How long are we going to milk this cow of

artificial hate based on color?
 We spend so much of our time in life and

electronic media speculating on the disasters
possible and we are not scared so do nothing.
 Should we spend so much time in speculation of

afterlife - in a way wasting it away?
It actually amounts to avoiding life; one way or
another.
Let us talk of things that matter. Like "coffee".
We shall continue to grow and advance when we
have killed this God and gods that we have created.
By making HIM responsible for everything we have
comfortably absolved ourselves to think or do
anything.
93
Most of our thinking and data is based on semi-
speculation that started in the half-baked knowledge
base of th1850-1950 period.
We need to revise and drop the old nonsense that is
coloring our thinking and making a mess of the
world.
For instance:
Water is unlimited.
Hunting is a sport when the animals are being
exterminated.
The dates and explanations on historical events like
civilisations and events.
Christians are still fighting the Roman Empire and
saving souls.
 I suppose when you have crossed 75, you can

leave all the questions, revelations & bother for
the next episode!
PK
Jouko Isometsä
What is this next episode?
94
Next life
Jouko Isometsä
My mother is now 83 yesrs old and she is still very
curious about the life. She still asks questions and
wants to make new things in her life. I don’t
understand this thought at all. I think is very
personal and no one can set an exact number or age
limit in these kind of things. Some can stop make
questions already in age 20 but it is not good - never
Jouko Isometsä This is not a literal statement. It is
not the number but the attitude one should take
after a certain age. We live external lives; meaning
our focus is on the life we live through our physical
senses and most of the time our search is for
sensations that give us pleasure we are easily bored
so we keep on looking for new sources of
excitement. All our life's experiences and learning
need to be internalised also.
Continuously repeating the same idea of FUN or life
as we had when 20 even when we have reached the
age of 75 does not show a progressive soul or mind.
This means as we age we should be doing new
activities only to determine and see if we have
changed for the better, not repeating old exciting
activities to justify being young still or alive but
putting into practice what one has learnt. We need
to take activities that bring our character strengths
95
in focus. Example: Are we as easily irritated at the
age of 50 compared to when we were 20? Have we
learnt Patience? Have we become more tolerant and
generous?
 Never understood this need to "forget" the issues

instead of solving them once and for all and
selling ourselves to the "Reigning Spirit" in us
which may not be very progressive at all.
It is so sad when I contemplate how we tie ourselves
up, trapped in our weakness of looking for the easy
way out.
Kristy Usselton
Below are my comments to a fb friend who is being
tormented by alcoholism. I think it landed:
…..I feel like anything I say will sound trite, but here
goes. Alcohol and addictive drugs each have their
own unique spirit; each spirit can be recognized for
what it is in how it manifests in the person it has in
its clutches. It ridicules and laughs at how it can
degrade its host. I wonder ... would we ever let
another person do this to us? No. How do we grovel
and let this demon spirit evil clown make fools of us
while it takes our very lives away? It takes some
spiritual Kung Fu to rid one's self from it enough to
96
walk away. Every time the temptation comes
recognize it for who he is - tell him he can't play with
you anymore.
Pradeep PK Maheshwari: It has to be noted that
humans have dug their own graves with so many
adages that weaken our resolve instilled strongly
from the day we open our eyes. See how we are
educated and brought up and the rules governing
society and social interaction.
The children start on a wrong foot with guidance like
Don’t speak up.
Elders have to be allowed to speak and listened to.
It is karma.
God will put everything right.
It is all for your good.
Show your other cheek.
Marriage is all bliss.
The family is all we have.
We are here to work hard and pay taxes.
Obey, obey, obey.
Be honest (while the world thrives on dishonesty so
openly).
Be law abiding even when the law lets you suffer by
the activity of others.
97
Etc etc etc.
all this sure muddles the mind and persona.
 Life is harsh. I don't want to be told I am resilient.

I want some softness.
 What new horrors will his human mind cook up

next?
 Dilip Kumar Roy

My personal experience with 'virtuous' people has
been that they are often worse than those with
vices.
I often thank God that He created vices. It saves the
world from getting thrown into disorder by the
excess of Virtue.
And Sin has often been much benign as Holiness has
been dastardly in the human story.
YES. Absolute truth.
And if I may add: Sri Aurobindo has a wonderful
Aphorism on this which says something that we are
98
lucky to have people like thieves and prostitutes as
they take all the burden of sin.
What is SIN? Everything on Earth, every element was
put here by The Creator. So how, on what grounds
are we calling anything sin? Then who is calling it all?
The religionists!!!
Why? Because in retrospect they show themselves
holy and then in the name of GOD commit the worst
crimes.
Is there anything as holy?
What new horrors will his human mind cook up
next?
 Is your mind yours?

Do you feel attracted to cheesy news about
neighbors and relatives?
Do you get upset that you have to live with old
products while the adverts on TV are talking of new
developments that are so fantastic?
Are you affected with gory news items of accidents,
fires, floods and crashes?
99
If all that is sensational still grabs your mind and
disturbs you, then your mind is not yours.
Maybe we are thinking too much.
100
We are perhaps only a speck in Mother Nature’s
fabric.
WE are what we are and if “changing” is what we
are, we shall change. Becoming whatever we are to
become is also something that happens when
Mother Nature has readied us for it.
 It is all a game of words. The Hindu rejects life

every time he brings in & permits the shadow of
casteism, rapes, gruesome mistreatment of
others, burning of brides, taking bribes and
cheating on the quality of cement used etc into
life.
Whatever the old texts may say, we have to think in
terms of philosophy in practice today & as
interpreted today. Technically there is nothing like
“Hinduism” We do have guiding lines like in Manu
Smriti and Shastras etc but can we base a religion on
it?
S R Suryanarayanan
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari I am sorry, I laughed just
because i took the rejection of life in a Vedantic
sense when i thought of bribe taker, and it sounded
funny. But yes you have a point, although it's got
101
nothing to do with Hinduism, people from other
religions also take bribes
PK ….You are right. I would have loved it if you had
only laughed. It was a backhand shot to jumpstart
the thinking process. It was intended to be partly
funny as you can see from the use of "cheating on
the quality of cement used ".
We are too stuck with the religions and miss the
basic philosophy. Guru Nanak and Sri Aurobindo and
specially the commentaries by The Mother are clear
and concise indications on the path of life. I have
received many answers from Osho too.
As I was writing some time ago, the time has come
to let the thousands of years ago thought patterns to
be dropped totally from our mental domains as it
keeps us busy in intellectual debates.
We need to learn to live the thoughts out.
And unfortunately the philosophical output of the
Vedic time is so wide that for the ordinary man it is
confusing and does not really show the way for the
"group" but it is great for the spiritual researcher.
Totally unfit to be promoted as a religion or guide for
the masses as there is much to support our
quarrelsomeness.
Today’s Hinduism and its practice seems to be based
mainly on the Epics in which every possible human
weakness is embedded as a part of the story and the
102
humans have adopted the worse parts while only
giving lip service to the good ones.
 You can’t be more stoic than this.

I had an English friend who was very kind to me and
helped me a lot in life and helping me work from his
office in London. For forty years he and we had a
great friendship and I was very proud of him.
Then one day he says he is retiring at the age of 62
and broke all contacts. Just like that as if the
friendship did not matter.
Was he kindly tolerating me all these years - two
third of our life.?????
 NOTE; in this world and life we have no

entitlements, no rights and no guarantees. We
have to do with what is provided by life, time,
fate, providence and our efforts within the
parameters already mapped out.
103
 Life would be so dull without kids.
My daughter is slowly taking over my entire
restricted zone space and I love it. As a parent I am
using the time when there is disorderly conduct to
teach her self-discipline instead of getting rankled
and upset.
Most of the time I just live with it and thank my stars
and God for such a Divine experience by giving me
such a wonderful child - a child at all to begin with to
call my own and cherish.
 The human mind reduces everything to its puny

level and comfort zone. It has invented a god that
accepts his "Monkey" level and smugly
announces that he has arrived as the epitome of
creation.
 We should not promote differences and quarrels.

Check your thoughts. If you feel in a particular
way way do whatever you have to but don’t
promote it. The vibrations we send out or
harbour always come back in some form or other
and find accommodation in our own fabric of
events.
104
 From feedback over a huge part of my life, I know
that I am seen as a buffoon, useful for getting a
lot of things done but valueless as a man of this
world.
Shall I explain myself? Something I have never done
before?!!!!
All I wanted to do with my life was to live without
any chains on me.
You see I chose a different path, I think I was born
with this destiny and my time in the Ashram sort of
confirmed it.
I chose a path of pure intentions and the philosophy
of lies, appeasement, insincerity in any form of
thought and practice cannot have any place in my
life. If it didn’t feel right, wouldn’t do it. And I kept
going out of my way to try new possibilities.
Discordant notes are created because of the
selfishness insincerity powering the humans and I
am bound to respond in accordance with my own
laws of conduct which would be totally unacceptable
to the insincere human lot. To survive in this world, a
certain cleverness is required. I know about it and
sometimes get confused because worldly
requirements and my Inner Guide are not on the
same track.
105
I have noticed that when I am interacting with
people, my conscious mind seems to be pushed
aside and something from down in the subconscious
acts naturally and responds in kind. If the person is
coming with cheating on his mind, my responses are
totally unfriendly, if the person is having ill feelings
and trying to hide a judgmental attitude, I can see it
and pin-prick his balloon by saying something that
exposes him. Very often I childishly with no intent
bring up the subject that people are wanting to hide
or avoid going into or bothering them – as if a Power
greater than me is using me to reach the other
person…..in short some very primeval force makes
me react in identical vibes that a person has come to
me with and this is rarely appreciated by the ill-
willed ones later these are the ones that go
maligning).
I am not so Naïve but as I cannot hurt anyone back
my responses are limited. I do not join in the play of
humans for the very simply reason that I CANNOT.
 Do we really want excellence?

It tends to disrupt!
 We are living in too much light.

It is killing us.
106
107
 The tourism industry today depends on the so
called monuments and wonders that our
ancestors created.
Ever think about who did it and why?
108
All governments, more so in Absolute Kingships, the
order was always that the kings and the governing
clique took all the money they could squeeze out of
the people. They made palaces for themselves, built
temples, cathedrals, mausoleums and all for their
glory leaving the people in abject poverty.
The fortresses one can understand as a need to
defend but here too the defense was for the rulers –
not the people.
The people quite simply were thrown against the
armies to fight it out.
This has always been so and today it is no different.
I don’t understand how we have not learnt our
lessons and we still continue to promote this
unequal status.
 Bringing up a child with conscious effort full of

love is YOGA.
 I suppose when you have crossed 75, you can

leave all the questions, revelations & bother for
the next episode!
109
If you are not retiring from the world of appearances
as you grow older, you are not maturing. pk
 Not the religion.

It is our own basic need to be seen as better and
superior. Religion is the perfect excuse as it is
validated by the masses and the kings; meaning it is
even lawful.
As it is not connected to ground realities it can be
interpreted as one's wishes are inclined and serve
our purpose.
Like the burning of witches, slavery, massacring
pagans, the Inquisition etc (religion never anywhere
asked to do these things)
 Instead of making people aware of diseases

which will only push them further into the hands
of the medical industry in the guise of tests and
surgeries or expensive machine based treatments
we need to make them aware of all that is wrong,
to go back to organic living and save themselves
from the diseases that they are so afraid of or
perhaps I should say NOT afraid of.
110
All these diseases including cancer we talk about
seem to be highly more prevalent in technically
developed & polluted countries. I feel the living
style, food and medical care there is at fault.
The humans are living, drinking ingesting poison and
drugging theirselves to no end.
We who are into naturopathy are appalled but more
appalled to see that the people there are totally not
bothered and are promoting the system and industry
by consuming it all in great quantities. And they are
convinced that it is all based on science that cannot
be refuted and above board. They are so highly
convinced of the fact that they are getting the best
of what life has to offer that that they will laugh at
you if you suggest othertwise.
Have you read the book The Valley of the Dolls - I
read it in the 1960s. Live for pleasure and heighten
the pleasure with drugs; you can understand that
this is not a new trend. If you read Adele Davis and
her books on food and better living you will realize
that this trend was already seen in the 50s and
documented. She clearly mentions things like Trans-
fats, Vitamins and the denuding of food in the
processing. Humans simply decided to ignore it all
for convenience.
111
It is sad how the system and people preferred to go
against everything to make money and the people
followed them like happy sheep.
 A barrel of despondency.
The negative ethos that is being spewed out by

the medium of today’s media is surprising and
loaded with hurtful thoughts. One would think
that Earth is peopled by gun-toting monsters or
zombies out for their pound of flesh. Everything
we do boils down to a fight.
It is like the Pandora’s Box has taken over. We are

being bombarded with negative happenings,
hurtful sentiments, and insincere
pronouncements by our leaders who clearly show
that they are not interested in welfare but
profiting from the circumstances that are evolving
and developing. The clique known as the 1% is
making hay & enriching themselves. Selfishness
and self-centered behavior is promoted as NEWS.
Most of the news content I see is either
speculation, projection simply opinion. Worthless
but the crowd starts thinking on those lines and
eventually agree to all decisions taken on these
112
lines. It is “government” thru TV/media.
One would think that Earth was peopled by gun-

toting monsters or zombies out or their pound of
flesh.
Our movies show out in detail how to nurture our

EVIL Thinking and infuse the un-evolved minds to
reenact the same gory ideas that they see on the
screens. They are giving ideas to otherwise
simpletons who then get carried off to plunder
and kill. If nothing else they at least learn to
become opportunists and thieves.
Life seems to be a barrel of despondency. How can

we be well and joyful when we see nothing else? The
earth is filling up with sad sick minds which is
reflecting as well in general health where we are
treated for making profit and not cures.
 My biggest "Wondering" thought is that why the

Lord took so much trouble to educate me and
then hide me in this corner.
Every time I make an attempt to be heard, I am
slapped back into my box.
113
At the rate things are going I shall one day die with
all this "view" of life trapped within me. Perhaps it is
really not worth it!
 Constructive solutions exist for everything.

Humans using Force to govern don’t normally see
any of these solutions.
Let human psychology and tendencies manipulate
their own selves; this should be the way to
administer. But we prefer arbitrary orders to be
obeyed or call in the military.
I remember a story. A college with separate
dormitories was known for the lack of decorum in
dressing its men and women were showing when
they came to the dining table in the common hall.
No amount of "ordering" was helping or even
threats of punishment etc.
Then came a new director and he ordered that men
and women would eat together in one common
dining hall. Everyone started dressing properly and
well with immediate effect. (Clever use of Applied
psychology as good management should be).
* There are two types of people.
114
1) The worker ants. They are here to serve the Divine
cause. They are the worker ants of Mother Nature.
They are also the ones who carry the heavy loads
and in their self-importance create all the mayhem.
From their attitude and activities one would surmise
that they have a deep love for war for the fun of it.
2) These are the thinkers and analysts. They question
the mayhem and look for reasons deep inside every
instance as they note their own behaviour. These are
not many but they look to understand the “why”
behind existence. They speak and they write but it
rarely goes further; mostly the worker ants do not
grasp the essential message.
 Thinking aloud; letting my soul speak

I have been exposed to western concepts &
Christianity because of my life which started in a
place like Pondicherry, then my extensive reading,
and later close associations with families in Europe
where I was taken in as family. At the other end I
have been deeply exposed to Indian philosophical
tradition and new age philosophy from the Sri
Aurobindo and other greats like Ramakrishna, Guru
nanak and a lot of reading without being attached to
any one stream.
This has been very educative and mind opening and
broadening.
115
I have also been exposed to the study of psychology
in its various avatars as in western thought and
occult tantric thought of the east.
But one thing I have noticed, that most of the
adherents of any group tend to become lazy
followers, happy to be part of a group and exalting
oneself in reflected glory. These people also become
a little narrow and single minded. They pride
themselves as being special children of their God
that they follow as their father figure and consider
themselves special.
All the rigidness of the tendency to follow a
superficial and half-baked knowledge of what the
God figure taught can then be seen in their way of
thinking, fashioning of their lives and their
interaction with others. Their convictions make them
argumentative and quite harsh too. At the governing
level in society they can be cruel additionally
because of their superiority complex.
Have been noticing a new trend in thought patterns

coming from the western world.
Just like their God who is an entity far away,
separate from them, they now talk of LOVE in the
same way; as if it is not, was never part of their
intrinsic nature.
116
They see a picture of lambs gamboling, puppies
playing, children embracing, mother feeding - and
they label it as "LOVE".
The ordinary, the common, and what should have
been the natural thing is now made extraordinary.
So now I suppose they are realising that they never
were the loving kind.
 The SLAVE ( in the USA) movement is just a small

example of how ONE SINGLE THOUGHT can cause
misery for centuries to come.
Of course if one studies history in depth, it will be
found that these kind of destructive thoughts enter
the minds of exalted people every now and then.
Whoever is sending them to us is quite relentless.
Another example that I can give is of Gandhi and his
agreement to divide India.
A good solid example is the Concept of eliminating
the Jews by the Hitler regime.
Another ongoing miserable bunch of thoughts comes
from the quarrels within the Christian divisions. The
devastating thoughts that unleashed the Crusades
and mainly the Inquisition + taking the Word of God
to the world has been mainly the root of most
political turmoil today on earth.
117
The Big Question that humanity never looks back to
ask is where these "THOUGHTS" come from? Are
we humans really such sadists?
 So what are you claiming?

That your bonhomie is genuine? Come-on; you know
and we perceive it - it is all pretend.
We adeptly hide certain weaknesses by assiduous
practice and call it change; it is all faked.
At the core we retain as we always have been; all of
us the same characteristics: The feelings, emotions,
attitudes, goals, thinking patterns have been the
same since always. We have only become more
devastating.
We cover up by speaking in adages. Adages that
have been in use and socially accepted since ever
and ever. No further argument or discussion is
possible.
These kind of saying although occultly true in its
origin, do not indicate that the layers of
"Inconscience" that envelop the human has also to
be peeled off before anything will show. All this talk
only goes to increase the arrogance and ego of
humans.
118
The bunch of creatures we call Homo sapiens have
survived as a race for two reasons:
1) That they breed faster than they can kill
themselves although they try hard to find excuses to
go to war or for personal reasons quarrel and kill
each other or get into a frenzy collectively for so
called grievances.
2) That they have a large body of literature called
religious or philosophy full of simplified precepts
that they all follow in unison and this helps in hiding
their flaws under umbrellas of religion sanctioned
untruths. There is luckily a lot of goodness in most
humans to mitigate the otherwise wild insincere and
greedy dispositions.
 In today's society where everything is already

done and available on shelves in impersonal
stores or impersonally available thru a call, it is
easy to think that we are alone and can manage
alone.
PS: Only Robinson Crusoe would be able to say he
managed alone.
 Once you have seen through the veil of self-

importance, one sees the Vastness and how we
119
are part of the wave in an ocean. It makes us
humble.
 Humans resist change as an un-thought out

reaction. It puts their comfort zone into
disequilibrium.
You can shower them with all the philosophy you
want.......they are not going to like it because most
of us are not living under the control of
"INTELLIGENCE".
Wisdom rarely touches the mass of humans.
 Our present day society lives so selfishly that we

are afraid to end up living in "LACK".
I remember a short story I had read on the one knife
that a household had.
Today every household has tens of them. Do we
really need them all?
Today impulse buy on credit cards has spoilt us.
These credit cards that lead us into nonsense and
debt need to be stopped and given as a facility
against our reserves or we should learn to not go
into debt.
120
 I have this certainty on which I base my thinking,
activity and relationships: That the human race
now needs to take the next step... which is
learning to act and think from the Intuitive plane.
Go beyond the limited personal self of today's
world.
I see a lot of energy being panned away in talking of
great philosophical or religious concepts and
arguments being bandied about with great gusto. All
limited to a lot of “TALK” and great feeling of virtue
to show how we are inclined to be living at a higher
spiritual level than others.
121
Long tedious conferences, lectures, books and
treatises is all we have for now.
The ills of the normal mentalised life and its
existence are not going to be corrected by using the
mind’s logistics or talking of it with no action backing
any of it. It is like making a truck/lorry fly (although
it happens so easily in comic cartoons that my child
sees on TV).
If we look within we have some character flaws and
some character plus points. The flaws need to be
corrected using the plus points, such as - self-control,
intelligence and all the education we have had to see
where we are lying to ourselves and where we are
usually contradicting ourselves. Sincerity is the key.
This is the next step to be taken.
The rest will unfold of itself by The Grace.
 Lesson in language use and how subtly we change

the narrative.
Earlier in the day I had made this reply to a friend

on a post:
“Never ask others how they would like things to
122
go.
You will only end up diluting your intentions;
specially if it means pleasing them.”
The reply came: “sharing hopes and dreams can

lead to successful endeavors.”
Firstly in my reply there is no “sharing”; by bringing

in this word into the argument the entire picture
changes. My reply specifically speaks of asking
others for their views on what “they” think. The
CHOICE is yours and keep it that way.
All advice is basically self-accentuated. Whoever

will give advice can do so only from his view-point
of life which may be good for him but for you
“YOU ALLOW IT TO TEAR YOU DOWN”. The
choice given Is “BETTER or BITTER”.
Why would anyone want to be bitter but then if

you have experienced even a little of life you
would know by now that compromises with
others lead to neither here nor there and mostly
leaves you with a rather bitter taste in the mouth.
Often life gets derailed totally. Chagrin is the only
thing left in your hands.
123
When you want things to get better, you have to
move in the best YOU know how. The thoughts
coming from others should not have any place in
your calculations as long as you are not hurting
anyone. So “OPINIONS” become unimportant and
irrelevant. But do pay attention to new
information.
We all realize sooner or later that everyone will

reply from their personal point of view based on
their knowledge of the subject and experiences
therefore their answers will never be in
accordance with the GOAL/RESULT or END-
PRODUCT envisaged by you. Particularly if it is a
new concept the advice I give becomes even more
seriously important.
Humans can only judge or comment on what they
can see. So if you have a vision, there is no way
anyone will be able to envision it fully.
Here is a story that remarkably gives out what I am

trying to say.
The King of Afghanistan in days long gone by, wanted
to know how the famed fruit of India the mango
124
tasted. So he sent emissaries to India to find out and
let him know. The emissaries came to India and
enjoyed the wonderful new fruit. On return the king
asked what they had experienced. The poor emissary
had no way to describe the taste of the mango so he
asked the king to close his eyes. He then applied some
sugar to his beard and put it in the mouth of the king
to make him understand and share the experience!
 The humble foolish/boring/unappreciated guy

withdraws from the action and stops karma in its
tracks.
The only good happening just now is that a general
waking of consciousness is perceived and spreading
due to the digital tech available.
But humans will need a lot of time to evolve into this
awareness considering that if they changed their
attitude and responses to life's inputs, then alone
change will realise itself.
Slavery is our dependency on each other. Some
PREFER to bond and bound themselves to security
and permanence; actually not some but all of us.
Even the most independent thinker and soul needs
to be rooted onto something or someone to meet his
daily earthly needs.
125
If I speak from my personal experience, I have lived
on the motto "I will work with you but not for you".
Nobody on this earth wants this kind of association.
They either want you as a paid servant or try to get
your service by paying you a small amount and then
cut off all relationship. My independence was
maintained but I have had to manage often with
nothing to eat for days. Once I passed 3 years under
a cloud but I stuck to my guns even though jobs and
“slavery" positions were available. HOW MANY
WOULD DO THIS? Today I have the responsibility of a
child and am staying put even though my own
aspirations had to be cancelled - is this slavery? No I
agreed to it. It was my wish.
In a subtle sub-conscious way we have all agreed to

our conditions in which we find ourselves.
Marriages most of the time are arrangements of
convenience and dependency. Affections develop
and a comfort zone situation matures so it is not
always slavery but it gives a home and roof above
our heads and this is the most important thing.
It seems, as I was told, somebody asked a lady in the
Ashram where I was educated, "Why did you shun
family life and chose this life? (Note; the Ashram
provided security, food and a community life with
utmost safety); her reply as I am told was: "We are
here because we had no other opportunities. If we
126
had got the chance of our own family and home,
none of us would be staying here".
These discussions are grand shows that go to show
the speakers in great virtuous light but that is about
all. The truth is we have no options; suddenly we
find ourselves on this earth under some conditions
and are then expected to make the best of it with
circumstances never really in our control.
My point is that theoretical discussions with
statistics are a meaningless waste of time. Ground
realities of life coupled with our own limitations,
specially our narrow views, lethargy, fears and
comfort zones keep us trapped. You cannot overlook
the fact that our beginnings of life usually guide the
continuance of how our life will flow.
This also presupposes that we humans are a highjly

prejudging and prejudiced lot. Whatever we hear
first becomes our reality. This helps us start with the
assumption that we “know”. So our conclusions are
mostly predetermined and unreliable; I would even
say mostly false. This is why in philosophical and
oriental spiritual parlance we say that this life is an
“illusion”.
This following experiment quite proves it:
(https://www.google.com/url?sa=i...)
I was fascinated by Rosenhan's experiment. Several
Psych students were sent to a Psychiatric
department and presented with bipolar disorder,
127
schizophrenia. They tried to interact normally with
staff but whatever they said was considered to be
further evidence of their psychiatric condition. They
had difficulty getting released from the institution.
All but one reported poor treatment. Rosenthal
excluded from his report that one student that
reported being treated with empathy by a
psychiatrist according to this book, because it did not
fit well with his thesis.
 Whatever that means.

So much useless, unusable, HIGH sounding totally
non-prgamtic advice going around!!!
The THOUGHT that the next person is not confident
and that he does not know what he is doing comes
very easily into the human mind. This is why we are
easy with advice. Mostly our advice is what we call
Positive reaffirmation which is disguised criticism
really. Normally this involves changing methods and
habits. Now I ask why anyone would change
anything on anyone’s say so.
Shows that they really don’t understand the nature
of "MIND" and the way it works.
128
 When I first took a corporate position I was given
a car and a driver.
Within a few weeks the presence of the driver got on
my nerves and I decided to never have one. I
removed him pronto and have self-driven ever since.
God!.... the smells, lack of privacy and useless talk
initiated by the driver was a great annoyance. And
worse, he was never there when I need him. I am
normally known for my precise “timing” but with
this driver running my car it was totally out of my
control. Very annoying.
The thing is in social milieu we have to pretend to
like and be nice somewhat. It is such a drain on our
spirit but often a dire necessity. But minimisation is
certainly the thing to aim for to obtain a modicum of
peace of mind.
But conversely others would be doing the same with
us in their midst.
Our need for “more & more” rarely leaves us alone
and the normal human tendency is to “maximize”
with its attendant stress and fatigue.
So the best thing is to find people we flourish with
and leave the others alone.
What is the use of pretending and acting out a role
that is not "WE". If we come to grips with the truth,
129
you will find we really don’t need too many people
to thrive unless we are in marketing or liaison jobs. A
good network always helps and successful people
are always those with many contacts. My experience
though is that contacts also serve when there is a
give and take otherwise they die out.
Feeling guilty on letting old contacts slip into oblivion
is one of the problems.
Focussing on oneself, in a concentrated environment
of being on our own is a wine once drunk, addiction
is certain.
To rise above the general paradigm... this is
required….very few do….(doable but we are too lazy,
“tamasic” hopeful that everything will turn out
alright because it so suits us).....
The subconscious, the play of instinct needs to be
given due diligence. It is too much effort. Then,
mentally there is "conditioning" like thoughts based
on old wisdom "sayings" that support our instinctive
bends.
So generally we live to stay within our group,
appreciated and comfortable and satisfying the
group's demand.
Not more than 1 in a thousand even tries to shift
stance.
130
In Reverse
FB and the internet are full of posts that speak
against the vaccine but all are going for it. Finally the
Fear is stronger than their intelligence.
Everyone understands that the government and the
DEEP CLIQUE are not in the interest of the public but
we keep voting them in.
We buy their goods and stand in line to buy like
hungry puppies. We howl against Amazon but will
not go to the neighboring family store.
We grumble against gas/petrol prices and the
pollution but when a new SUV comes in the market,
we have to have it.
The bigger the TV, we want it immediately.
I canrt even imagine living with something like Alexa
around me but mostly people are quite happy with
it. Why?
We may have not much to eat at home but the latest
I-phone is a must. And to feel one with the IN crowd,
the shoes has to be Nike or Reebok.
We all know that most of the medicines now being
promoted are bad for us with extreme side-effects
but Pfizer comes out with Viagra and we fall over
each other to have it.
131
Then we need their instant relief range of drugs for
the excited life-style we lead. Pills to go to sleep, to
wake up, against migraine, against hangovers, fevers
and pain.
In short we need them; we are slave to their
products line.
High time we stopped complaining or do something
by living against within the philosophy we are
professing (but here we dither)….OR SHUT-UP.
We live with double, non-principles and we deserve
what we are being dished out.
Have you ever sat down and itemized your
thoughts? What principles, adages, taken-for-
granted thoughts are running your life?
This thinking of self-dislike is very prevalent now as

an explanation of rude or evil behaviour.
Do you buy the saying “hurt people hurt others”?
No
Tracey Nichols to Pradeep Pk Maheshwari….
132
I used to use that excuse, until I quit focusing on him
and looked within. I don’t hurt people…
Not buying that excuse anymore! 👍
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari to Tracey Nichols…
Precisely. This is part of the toxic positivity of today.
Whatever the reason, rude and bad behaviour is the

responsibility of the person in question. We should
not be justifying it by giving it "good" reasons to be
so.
Unwanted, unacceptable behaviour should be
condoned strongly and stopped in its tracks.
The only thing bad people fear is being demeaned
and shamed. Where the entire public & society
together condone bad manners and refuse to accept
it in any way, the behaviour in general is always
respectful and considered.
As to the psychology behind it I think the people
have realised that they are no match in quality of
PERSONA and try to compensate by brute behaviour
and use of physical force to prove that they are also
somebody.
It has nothing to do with dislike of their selves but
more to do with low IQ and even lower EQ.
133
 This is the human chain and this status of what
you call slavery is not going to change.
The only good happening just now is that a general
waking of consciousness is perceived and spreading
due to the digital tech available.
But humans will need a lot of time to evolve into this
awareness that if they changed their attitude and
responses to life's inputs, then alone change will
realise itself.
My point is theoretical discussions with statistics are
a meaningless waste of time. Ground realities of life
coupled with our own limitations, specially our
narrow views, lethargy, fears and comfort zones
keep us trapped. You cannot overlook the fact that
our beginnings of life usually guide the continuance
of how our life will flow.
 On father’s day, from a father who belongs to his

child and all other children around him.
Why don’t the parents ever allow the child to feel
that it is HIS home?
The parents make it clear that it is
“their” home and life will have to go on in it by their
beliefs, wishes and to their entire satisfaction.
134
From day one a serious mis-thought prevails: The
child belongs to the parents like any other product
or commodity in the house to be moulded, and to do
with as the parents choose.
In the East 9 out of 10 children have only one wish –
to run away from it all.
In the western culture they make it clear the children
will have to go and create their own nests.
And after all this we expect the children to give
priority to parents in their lives!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Our thinking patterns are all at present founded on
mis-directed provisions and can give only misery as
the final result.
Some other mistaken postulates that are helping us

ruin everything are:
- Everyone makes mistakes (Taking responsibility is
not a serious factor).
- We are made in god’s image ( whatever that
is)
- Parents are always thinking for the best of the
child.
- People are basically honest and kind.
- If it is fated, it will arrive/happen.
and such etc etc.
135
 I was recently watching a documentary of sorts.
Within 5 mts my intuitive sense said but the
whites seem to be empowering the blacks in USA
so as to hide or bury their own guilt or what? At
this rate they will make the mistake of
underestimating as the whites have already
always done. The white assume that because
they see a people not at par in education and
training now and therefore “stupid” they can
train and educate the lesser people while hoping
they remain as stupid as ever.
See how badly they calculated their doings with
China in the 19th century and how the Americans
deal with the world and see how India was
handled by most of the Europeans who arrived
there.
The blacks are having the determination and
dynamics and it would be easy for them to
overwhelm the whites who are becoming sissies
with their high spiritual (or so they think) values
of kindness and love.
Never forget: The students of today become the
teachers of tomorrow.
136
 Have you noticed how there is a wave of people
announcing proudly the years they have managed
to stay together in their marriage as a glorious
achievement?
How is this such an achievement? Are we now
accepting that humans are vile beings and coexisting
is not easy?
So we humans, although basically alike in what
makes us homo sapiens, we think there is an
element of discord built in? Then why this deep need
to marry? And where does this discord come from:
from our narrow-mindedness, our arrogance, our
low intelligence, our lack of kindness....so many
questions!
What happened to the great thoughts that humans
are made in the image of the gods they made in the
first place?
Did they not marry with the idea of being together
for life?
Or is this concept dead in the modern thinking?
Then why do they marry at all if divorce/separation
is at the back of their minds all the time anyway?
Why can they just cohabit - it is quite the fashion
now.
137
 From the external manifestation of things yes
cruelty is a fact.
From the internal vibrations, seen from the occult
point of view there are deeper ramifications.
In short, the world being what it is, the human spirit
running on elements that have laziness and
arrogance as the main ingredients, I would say
everything is quite in order.......although I would not
like to be in the place of a slave or who knows that I
have been one in my last lives and learnt my lesson
so that I am a prince now.
 Does our handout really help?

But how sure are you that they need help; did they
ask for it or you assumed? How do we decide that
people need help because most of them are quite
comfortable in their skins and do not mind freebies
but would not go out of their comfort zone to better
their own situation.
We must also consider that most people are in their
conditions due to their lethargic consciousness.
138
 The mind vs the Cosmos.
The mind wants to feel "ARRIVED" and organizes its
postulates where everything fits perfectly.
We all know that this is incorrect but then the nature
of the mind is what it is.
The Cosmos keeps on showing us glimpses of what is
by upsetting our mind's set-up. Of course this is not
favored but we eventually find that this is how it is.
Unfortunately the mind never learns, after a good
lesson it tries again to put its house in order where
everything is in its appointed place and the game
starts all over again.
 Spirituality is without labels.

Where there are labels, there cannot be spirituality.
(Time has come for all labeled religions to go or let
me say that progress will happen when we let them
go)
Is there anything like spirituality?
As an example let me ask you WHAT IS ANGER?
How will you label (describe) anger?
Is it when I do not speak because I am angry and
refuse to communicate?
Or
139
Is it when I shout and berate because I am awfully
angered?
Or
Is it when I rouse a few people and go on a
destructive rampage?
Or is anger just my Ego showing its unhappiness and
my arrogance is punctured?
Or
is it really my intelligence that is unhappy at the
stupidity being demonstrated and I cannot take it?
 Great example of the fact that we often do not

realise that the other person's language and
exposure may not be equal to ours and we take
for granted that others are understanding us and
our instructions are being understood.
PS: Often the listener may not even be listening at all
although making the right noises and giving the
impression of listening.
 I speak often of the fact that most of us, humanity

in general is not a "THINKER" people.
140
Yes they have much to say but it all comes from
what they have heard and read. Their thoughts are a
motley collection of words that keep finding
references with other words outside their head and
link up to form a conversation. Example you talk of a
"profit" and all the words in their heads connected
with "Profit" come forth. It is their intelligence that
uses all the references and quotes to form a thinking
pattern and if there is a conversation, they have
something to say from their library of words.
The replies are not Personal or stemming from their
experience, analysis and research. It is as if some
third person is having his say through them.
Quite often it becomes obvious that they have no
idea what the subject matter in its depth is but yes
they have to speak and just one word in the whole is
enough to trigger in them a whole river of words.
All their wisdom that spouts forth is borrowed and
they proudly even advertise the fact by saying such
and such said this and such and such said that.
Humanity has not learnt to see how clichéd is its
"thinking" and that it actually hides behind these
comfortable postulates. A lot of our mind's activities
are based on fashions and waves of thoughts
prevalent in any given moment of time.
I give you here an example of this that I got as a
reply:
141
" yes you can even look at what is now being taught
at the best business schools because their students
want more than money
ethics are changing
but most of all what Seamus said sooo like what
Noam said
which is from what Sophocles said which is what the
father of a Greek hero said at his son's funeral "
PS: to this can be added the huge collection of

"sayings/proverbs" that are accepted as universal
truth and these are bandied about like pearls of
wisdom.
These are universally accepted as Truth of our lives
that they become conversation stoppers; nothing
can be said after that.
Example:
To err is human. Everyone makes mistakes. Love
makes the world go round. Nothing to beat a
Mother's love.
Humans have many pat quotes to hide their "lack of
effort, carelessness and laziness coupled with
insincerity".
One of the most annoying sayings that they bolster
themselves with is " To err is human" or "Everyone
makes mistakes".
142
How cleverly they excuse themselves. Shameful.
 Every black and white is connected with a

thousand shades of grey. We need to learn to see
The Cosmos as a "whole”.
Even our personas are connected with one great
strength tied on the opposite end to a great
weakness. How we learn to play with these is what
makes the story of our life.
 This is exactly it.

We complain but it is a show-off thing. We like to
show the world how badly life is treating us and yet
how well we are coping. If the Lord came suddenly
and offered to take you to heaven but only if you
went instantly, would you go?
I dont think anyone would want to go.
John Shoji Sorensen
We carefully design our chains to hold us exactly
where we want to be. How dare you disturb them?
143
 MASKS
The need to conform or be ostracized, the need to
hide one' real emotions to live together with others,
the need to curtail the basic cruelty that is in us and
shows as "authoritarian"……. persona of people who
are looking to avenge the harm done to them, the
forced theologies that drive us...........all these make
faces into pieces of marble.
We are also disturbed by change and others who
think differently or beyond our parameters. We
therein prefer to keep a distance and look at the vile
world from our ivory towers.
And we absolutely need to save ourselves from
people who want change, live for change and put in
their entire energies into the change they want to
see - these people are to be given the silent
treatment because what they are is not comfortable.
This life is such and self-protecting stolidity requires
a wall.
 By continuously harping on poverty that the well-

to-do need to do to alleviate it, we are actually
"spiritually" promoting it. And we ARE definitely
144
so engrossed in our thinking of doing “good” that
we try to fill the bags of the poor with goodies.
With the poor adding to their lot with unbridled
enthusiasm, giving birth to more and more mouths
to feed, I don’t see that this can ever be the solution
or even alleviate some of it.
Our focus should be to not make it easy for them to
have children, to help them understand and guide
them to restrain themselves.
This is the necessity for all excesses that the humans
are indulging in.
This "poverty" line was used by missionaries to reach
other communities and convert. Time to wake up
and take stock. The politics of our times are using
this as a platform too.
I think, spiritually speaking, socialism is wrong.

It may seem like help but it is really the opposite as
it weakens the spirit's resolve to act, consider, and
evolve into a better life.
Effort and humbling oneself in front of Destiny are
strong proddings to improve oneself and look for a
better life.
By making life easy we break this evolutionary
process and are delaying the process for which souls
take bodies and come to earth.
145
 From a friend: Wondering lately if projection is
not the larger part of human interaction?
It is the primary impulse. We dare not reproach
anyone for this very reason as things can easily
escalate into a violent conflagration.
People knowingly become violent using even the
most minor incident as an excuse. They feel great
and bask in the power they thus have in shutting
others out.
A lot of people learn this trick early and let it rip. It is
their "wall" that you are not allowed to cross over.
These people if also endowed with ability or position
become impossible as in their eyes this is
enhancement of their image; the grandiose image
they have made of themselves for themselves.
On the occult level these personas have allowed
themselves to become vessels for the demonic
spirits and we really can't win against them in the
normal human way.
These people are easily recognised from their
grumblings and constant displeasure about all and
everything. They keep criticising and accusing and
146
dare anyone to contradict them or show them their
faults.
If you fall into the trap of defending yourself your
goose is cooked.
Keep your thoughts to yourself.
 Our wish to travel is our inherent need to see and

learn about this world more and more. It
eventually takes us to the point where we feel
that it is all "déjà vu.” Essentially it is the mind
that is travelling. The body is only a carrier. The
Spirit is already everywhere.
Yes, travel in the material world is necessary to
provide this body with its need of different elements
like wind, sun, quiet and work/exercise. But the final
experience is that we are going nowhere and might
as well LET GO of our vanity in thinking that it is all
due to our efforts.
If we feel and look into our reactions and responses
we shall see that the emotional responses, the
thoughts accompanying them are the same in all
activities, relationships and places. (the same in
others too). There is absolutely nothing new. But this
material-envelop of our physical make-up (our
147
physical body, our physical mind and our physical
emotionals) needs repetitive repeats to "feel" it all.
Those who have not learnt to live outside their 5
senses orbit eventually go for stronger and stronger
methods of excitement and in the end hurt
themselves and hurl themselves into the arms of
misery and death.
The people living in the spirit find enough
excitement in a sunset/sunrise (new one every day)
or a piece of music. And the repetitive "fare” of
human emotions rather boring.
* Joshua Lillian
When you announce your virtues, your demons
know where to find you.
Yes. That is why "boasting" is bad.
Parul Taneja
Random Thoughts: There are only two emotions-
love and fear! All positives come from love and all
negatives come from fear! When we are afraid, we
pull back from life... When we are in love, we open
to all that!
148
In a time of crisis, the impulse is to give into fear,
concern and panic, which will engender an epidemic
of soul sickness. It's important to heal the soul!!
Heal the soul first, then healing of the mind and
body follow!
Pradeep PK Maheshwari
Just imagine the terror I must have created when I
came to live with family from the Ashram with my
back injury.
Here I was pushy, looking for more, arguing, and
never accepting the authority of adults simply
because they were adults. And always upsetting the
apple cart by wanting to make changes and ready to
experiment.
Very soon I was labelled as "keep away from him,”
"keep the children away from him, he will spoil them
all by making them think independently.”
You will not believe it but many of my aunts never
allowed me to connect with my cousins (specially the
daughters - go figure) with deliberate intent.
There was no love. Just the fear of losing control.
What a miserable way to live.
149
 Those who complain and argue and find faults are
obviously playing the game of
"ICANNOTUNDERSTAND" for the simple reason
that they don't want to. You are the fall guy for
being a bad talker.
Language is such a lovely tool.
 We are trapped in a web of cleverness.

There is a serious ERROR in our basic thinking today
on which the entire system of democracy and life’s
rules are being based. This is the thinking that we
are all equal in every way.
This essentially reduces us to something like a tribe
of ants or bees which we obviously are not. The big
question is why are we so intent to promote this
philosophy?
I wonder why the people have not caught on that by
this thinking, the leaders are fooling us into a system
where the majority gives them the power to
misbehave and corner all the benefits while the
majority struggles with tit-bits.
Humans can be at 8 different levels of evolution and

existence. Take for instance India. The over
150
population and the continued breeding by the least
of the have-nots is increasing the number of the
population which has the least mental growth and
exposure. And they are impoverished due to it yet
perpetuate multiplication of their brood with
abandon.
BUT these are the people due to sheer numbers that
finally elect the leaders. What can you expect in the
final choice of leaders?
So we have these humans who are simply existing.

Their minds are non-functional but they matter
hugely in the choice of leaders and the leaders find
this so convenient, it is in their interest to promote
this concept.
In between are the hard-working, astute workers

who pride in their little expertise and form the
middle class that keep society moving. But these
people although dynamic, intelligent within their
fields of action have one big weakness. They think
they are complete as they are and cannot see ever
themselves in error. They are perfect in their eyes.
So further development is difficult because they
won’t let life go beyond them. And if opposed they
can turn very violent.
These then become “activists” and are usually
manipulated into groups by different leaders and
misused to create events that try to blackmail
society into a particular direction which is not in the
151
interests of humans but this is how thing are.
Personal agendas and eyes on personal profits keep
this group alive.
Then at the far end are the real thinkers, who see
beyond the immediate. Who see a more peaceful
and cooperative way of doing things but these are
intellectuals who avoid confrontations and when
attacked go into their shells and let life go on
because they cannot handle the derision that comes
their way.
In this scenario we talk of progress. I don’t see how

this can ever be possible.
 We the humans in the street working 9 to 9 to

make ends meet are responsible for the mess we
are in. Just take for instance the lure and pride of
cars.
The multimillion industry keeps on making new
glory-filled cars that the world does not need,
that benefits nobody and the public keeps on
buying them – not because they need them but
because they add to our personalGLORY ( or so
we think).
This is only adding to the pollution, depleting the
resources of the Earth, Not creating employment
as 90% of the manufacturing is robot based BUT
IT KEEPS the billionaires in clover.
152
 Humans look within.
Everything about humans starts, stems and

evolves from self-centeredness, insincerity and
inertia. It is a funny mix of pretense, charade and
self-validation.
Joshua Lillian says:

What confounds me in modernity is that we've
surmounted so much of the olden ways in which we
operate, that now we must render ways in which we
can effectively outcast ourselves from technological
regulatory capture. A much more obdurate endeavor
given the sheer power of what these people, the
parties or lineages that have the most control over
it, are capable of.
I believe we've surpassed the times in which fighting
in physical battle is the answer. We are no longer on
equal grounds. This is a game of sophisticated
subversion for them, and so the people must subvert
back; in a journey of redeeming the soul in a society
which has abdicated their sovereignty and potential
without so much as a whimper, because they've
been too distracted by propaganda and new age toys
to see nor care about this "capture".
My reply:
153
Yes agree.
The only way to get out of "their" clutches is by self-
regulation and self-discipline but like children we fall
for every enticement they give us. This gives them all
the power over us that they need.
We lose the fight right in our teenage when we get
swamped and allow ourselves gladly to be
overwhelmed by the Hormonic Storm that hits in
teens. We get trapped in distracting, way-laying off
activities like full attention to the pleasures offered
by the opposite sex, small immediate lure of
incomes that take away all the energies and time....
and such.
There never is a thought of how they are going to
live the rest of their 60 years of life. (and to be
brutally honest, it is the fault of our
education/parents to not have instilled in them any
thoughts on these lines)
The 30-40s go in living it up and proving to society
what a gem of a successful person we are. It is only
in the 50s some start understanding that there is yet
half of life to go. But by then they are so trapped, so
lacking in knowledge/education and so
inexperienced to tackle life properly that nothing but
misery becomes their portion.
The governing elites know this and take full
advantage.
154
 The philosophy of kindness has like all things
coming from the American(US) mind been
reduced to a mechanical activity based on
regulated parameters based on the play of words.
Making it all meaningless.
* Their brainwashing and our laziness has created

this breed of moronic people who do not think,
cannot think and the TV speaks thru them.
 GUIDED Spiritual Action.

You know like the Americanized thought process
that has given rise to things like Guided meditation,
Guided Raising of Kundalini, Guided opening of
Chakras and such … all happening within the
framework of a guided timetable. “A hugely
successful commercial farce.”
Here we are 10 thousand years of it and nothing
much to show for it and these people can do it in a
matter of a few weeks.
In our Indian yogic view this is a terrible and awful
wrong way to go about it, designed to make money
155
from the moronic intelligentsia of educated bums
that people the Earth today.
Our job is to make people start wondering and not
show a planned way to go looking for answers.
Technically it is NOT possible. Some things do
happen but they are momentary experiences of a
lower level that adherents should recognize as
stepping stone to grow upon but what we see is that
it is creating “people” who are convinced they have
arrived at Buddhahood.
I am not really asking a question. I am only throwing
seeds of questions so that people would think in that
direction if their souls are even minimally inclined.
In my book guiding people to read this book or that
is totally a “NO”.
The SOUL knows and will guide the aspirant to the
right books, adventures & people to get the answers
it is looking for. Every Soul is at a different
evolutionary level and we may harm more than help
by guiding them onto a given path from which they
may have to do a long detour.
When giving answers too we must be circumspect

and reply only from within the limits of our own
experienced truth. But the best is to leave the
questions hanging and let the aspirants forage for
themselves.
156
Books like the Bible, Quran, Gita, Torah, and others
that have become a source of confusion, over
interpreted, source of conflict should be avoided at
all cost. Read it yourself but do not listen to lectures
on them.
But yes I love suggesting people to read philosophers

like Marcus Aurelius, Spinoza, Bertrand Russel,
Confucius, Guru Nanak and writers like Bernard
Shaw, Maugham, Maupassant to name a few.
 Sandra Giacomino
I wish I could detach!
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari.
Yes. When we are triggered into a quarrel it is so
difficult to stay out of it.
I learnt it by thinking on these lines." Here I am with
my limited time of 24 hrs in which 8 go in sleep.
What will happen if I let him stew in his own juice?
Why am I making it so important and issue? The
moment is gone anyway. Avenging and revenging
takes so much time planning and executing and
energy. Not worth it to escalate it to a higher level.
157
Let it die here. I stop it here by not giving it more life
to survive on.
There is no point in quarrelling with somebody who
has a vengeful spirit. They will never understand that
you may be protesting some of their actions. They
will only feel hurt, insulted and injured. And their
retaliation will be hard and forceful. They also have
long memories.
Best is to forget, forgive and kill your own anger if
any. Let them go if it is possible.
But yes be ready if there is second time developing.
Work the scenario in your head. Prepare and be
ready with an appropriate response so that the
other person realizes that you have understood and
that he is asking for trouble.
Rajesh Saroha
Yes but detachment is hard
Yes. I think I was born with it already in me. I asked
one of my teachers in the Ashram in one of my visits
when I was in my 30s and asked what he thought of
me as a child. This was his answer:
“We all thought that you had an unshakable spirit.
Nothing seemed to affect you as if some core was
already way above all this nonsense of life.”
158
Another teacher with astrology said that I have been
a fakir in past lives running all over the world looking
for knowledge. But so much travel and so much
reading has made me into a person without focus.
Life as seen by others has no meaning for me and
this why I am as if without values.
This is when I decided to take life hands on, brought
my mother to live with me and got married and
willfully tried to get the experience of "LIFE". It has
been horrible but yes it finally helped me go beyond
the block I had set in as I was avoiding relationships.
My need to read and travel is gone and attachments
have become love but in a detached way as others
are not ready for anything except a superficial one.
मधु स्मिता ढकाल

Trying to solve a mind created problem using mind,
is like trying to extinguish fire using fire.
How about -letting it burn itself out?
PK:
You are one of the exceptional ones who saw the
connection. You are singing to the wind though!
159
This question will floor almost all in general as the
mind rarely sees the root in itself but outside of itself
in you and me or Fate/Coincidence /Provdence blah
blah blah.....and then goes to solve the problem the
easy way by eliminating the problem ( closing doors,
denials and even murders) – the basic reason behind
all these savage gory stories.
 That is a good thought. Do I agree or disagree?

Neither.
If this thought serves you well and fits well into
your life-stream then it must be fine.
The life you live and the conditions prevailing at your
end are vastly different than in my domain. So I
cannot really comment.
But yes, the thought is intriguing enough to warrant
attention. I shall remember it, observe life in relation
to it, also try to understand and try to see it in action
in life.
Only after a long séance of observation will I be in a
position to comment or add my own thoughts to it
all.
PS: In contrast most people live on precooked

thoughts, pre-conceived notions and rarely observe
how these integrate or clash in their lives. It is sad to
160
see people rejecting off-hand new “Thoughts” just
because they are new and outside their “normal”.
PK
* TWO of my pet peeves - actually I see them as a

joke humanity is playing on itself; perfect subject for
cartoons.
1) Our thinking that we are "HELPING" others and
then calling attention to ourselves (specially
mentioning the loss of time. energy, goods that were
put in) when what we are doing is not seen of much
consequence.
2) All these spiritual lectures on everything except
how to live in the now. Happiness, Soul Death are
subjects delineated in great long chapters which are
really of no consequence if the MOMENT hasn't
been lived in all sincerity and honesty - but this is a
subject we avoid as it would destroy our illusions.
Tell me is not for the average Joe, life, what he can
see, touch, and feel? How does it matter what is
going on after death? How does it matter where the
happiness comes from until his senses can relate?
etc etc
161
 The entire world seems to be talking too much
now a days and afraid to stop. I sometimes think
it is the TV culture which requires to be talking all
the time. Being in a group means talking to keep
the connection alive.
But we have also now gotten into the habit of
passive listening and have no practice in conveying
our thoughts. When we do we blabber
unintelligently most of the time.
Everything has to be said. There is nothing left
unsaid. And they don’t know how to say it so the
long diatribes.
The old art of “feeling”: it in silence has evaporated.
They have forgotten to speak with the eyes like using
silences to convey feelings.
 Doubt can be negative in character. It is needed

but it should be replaced strongly with enquiry
and questions and let the questions lead with
little or no interfering with our minds as the
subconscious does not like questioning due to its
need to control the narrative.
The faculty of not taking everything at face value is
what we should be practicing... even with ourselves
and all that we think we are.
162
A prophetic dream.
I was to be the main speaker in a program that
began with me at 9 am and was to last for half an
hour, but things got waylaid by circumstances and
the program got started at 3.30 pm. My papers got
lost. And finally I kindly told the people that we shall
keep it for some other time.
The subject was the Next Chapter in which I wanted
to bring out the point that we have to now add
"sincerity and honesty" into the equation of the
Earth's functioning in the relationship between
humans. That is when the world will see real
greatness that this LIFE offers. Nothing to fight for,
nothing to hide, accept errors and aim at rectifying
them, profiting by exclusiveness and greater content
will become the norm.
Harmony and Peace would envelope the entire
fabric of society.
This is the next chapter and it will happen on its own
in Earth's inexorable march but if we could all want
it now, sincerely and honestly it could happen
tomorrow. But that is a dream for now
This is the next chapter.

Superficial conversation and surface level
experiences are dry, flavourless, and are without
taste.
What you want is to take the bull by the horns. To
dive deep into the ocean of lived experience.
Feel the steamy heat and cold chill of a rainbow of
colours coursing through your body. Charged with
energy and gaining momentum.
To share this awakening with others and the world
as an authentic voice of what it means to be fully
alive. Shivering, shattered, beaten. Together we rise
- human.
PK:
Yes. You have put it so well.
Though what we may call superficial is not so seen
by the general, near the grass-level average Joey
who is happy to be playing at the grassroots surface
level.
I relate an experience from The Ashram of Sri
Aurobindo Ashram where I was. As long as the
nucleus remained to 3-400 people things were going
in a highly concentrated fashion. The Ashram started
building up as a community and activities and people
came. The Mother who was also a deep initiate of
the Occult world kept everything together and you
could see the integrated functioning, sincerity of
actions and motivations. It was a mini paradise of
164
sorts. Everyone looked younger than they were,
sustained from higher vibrations of the Spirit.
But then the Ashram disciplined life was allowed to
be broken by allowing visitors and making it into a
pilgrimage center. And at this stage things started to
collapse. There was a distinct lowering of the
consciousness levels in action, inter-actions and
delivery of actions in the material physical world.
The bubble could not take the grassroots influence
and started to deflate.
Then when The Mother left her body, something else
was seen. People all started suddenly to look older
and sicklier. Specially the ones who thought of
themselves as more special and spiritual than others.
Overnight wrinkles started showing.
One of my classmates started looking way older to
me - she was so pretty. While I was struggling to
maintain a level spiritual openness in the world of
mischief in Delhi, my sadhana was more
concentrated and with great effort alone was I able
to maintain a modicum level of sincerity and honesty
in a vile world.
In comparison the Ashram people had it all made for
them. There being no effort, when left to their own
devices, they simply collapsed back to square one.
This is a complex world. There is so much anger and
angst generated in everyday confrontations. Most
people carry so much anger that they sort of get
165
bound within their memories and as these are gone
deep into the subconscious, they emerge as
reactions and actions as part of the persona. Simply
trying to make them aware is like disturbing a
Beehive. So in society, marriages, families and
business relationships, most our energies go into
maintaining a superficial status-quo which is not
healthy at all for anyone.
But what can be done until the individual also
admits, acknowledges, and accepts that this is so
and he is not afraid to look at himself which amounts
to accepting corrections.
The EGO won’t just sit there and let it happen.
166
But most dont want to have anything to do with it.
To most it is just a sign that they have "rights" to
fulfill their desires as they so wish.
 What if some intelligent entities are using the

facility of a "BODY" offered by Mother Earth to
167
capture and overwhelm the Divine Spark that is
unfortunately deep within under layers of the
earth component and the mind of our “selves”
and take the position of the Persona as we see
and even call the "I" (EGO); this could be a great
shock to these poor entities although they have a
body only find that they have landed up in a
situation where they are having the upper hand
no doubt but nobody really wants them. That
they are slotted for annihilation. Everyone is
working hard to remove them from the equation.
Proof of edicts like the 10 commandments have been
around since the time thoughts were recorded that
these poor entities should not be given any
importance and they represent the vile side of life
and human psychology..
So finally all said and done they come down here
only to realise they are NOBODY!!!
 Digital reach has done only one thing; brought

the far away into the palms of our hands.
Earlier let us say even 100 years ago we were
limited. Our reach could go only to where our means
of "connect" like the telephone or car or railroad.
We lived, loved, engaged in activities like loving,
168
cursing, correcting, challenging, interfering, and
marketing within this small area.
Now our reach has spread; we have chits like Greta
advising India how to run itself (I wonder she could
even point India out on a map). We have indoor
journalists making political commentaries all over
the globe on every stupid event on the globe.
The only thing that has happened between the
passages of last 100 years is that our prejudices and
our vanities have started travelling long distances.
It shows how our prejudices makes us think but we
quietly delude us in the brilliance of our thinking and
understanding just go on with the lives of other
people.
We have totally forgotten the art of focusing on
ourselves and our errors if any.
 To me it has always been Sincerity vs Dishonesty.

The false"....." is promoted to suit the clamoring of
vanity which is primarily the being in the front and
acts as the main persona.
Humanity in general recognizes this Being and in the
present moment it has all the say.
169
All it needs is a drop of Sincerity. All the individuals
who recognise this aspect of the Conditions
prevailing on earth just now create ripples here and
there but the sea and swathe of Insincerity has the
world in its grip rather hard.
The only one who can do something is the Divine
Himself but He prefers to watch the fun. It is really of
no matter to him. He does help individuals to create
pockets of wisdom. But humans have till date been
only known to avoid it all assiduously.
If we all could agree and get together, a powerful
nucleus would form but unfortunately nothing like it
is happening anywhere. (Even in the Ashram that got
started around Sri Aurobindo), the wave has lost and
flattened out. The inconscient is like a void. It
absorbs everything thrown at it like a Black hole.
So for now we need to concentrate on ourselves and
our growth. The rest will come when the time will
come.
 As they gather new info they forget

the old. Their minds can only hold this
much which is not very much.
To hold a vast body of knowledge one has to be in
the intuitive mind. Until the world reaches this level,
we are wasting time in general but yes we can
influence some "open" individuals certainly. So let it
170
rain. Some will get wet and enjoy it. Other will crib
and run.
In the last year I understood that there is nothing to
see but the game and drama being played. Just enjoy
and partake of the goods if we would know how to
and have the guts to pluck the banana.
The waves on the shore will go on & on and on at
least for now
I firmly believe that there is/are very intelligent
Beings, Gods behind the Movements initiated in this
world. They plant the thoughts that then materialize
in form of inventions/discoveries/goods. Study our
psychological history and you will see often the same
thought caught on many different places at the same
time.
And stage by stage humans are being led.
Every time a stagnant point is reached, the puny
humans are given a new tool.
And the humans always pick the most dastardly, the
wickedest tool and use it to go to war to become
king of all they can encompass in their short life
time.
And don't you for even a minute think that humans
thought it out. No. It is always a gift from the Beings
out there.
Just contemplate this point.
And tell me what you think.
171
Look at this Long bow. The most feared weapon of
its time
172
 I speak here on the basis of what we know of
Mother Nature's fabric and how curative systems
of medicine developed in different part of the
world. It would not be kind to our ancestors to
deny all the body of medical knowledge that has
been passed to us since the last thousands of
years with great insight and data.
But western medicine is reinventing the wheel and
that is where we should apply thought, stop and
ponder.
Why is the western scientific community not
prepared to accept the age old data; what is their
agenda?
As for now profiting seems to be the only one. Some
healing has to result otherwise the whole Circus tent
would collapse. They are doing a great job in
bringing a balanced mix of relief and offering surgery
and gadgets that help live away from misery.
But all this is not curative. In the curative field the
old systems are doing a lot better. If this is accepted
it would be so good for all.
Small things like eating well with the body in mind
and not taste and “gourmandize” should be the
focus but no the western food industry has focused
on taste and shelf-life which has made the human
body vulnerable to disease as the food in the west is
not nourishing as things stand. Is it surprising that
173
their own brotherhood in medicine is making hay
out of it?
Don’t just think that the virus is an isolated subject.
It needs to be studied as a natural phenomenon and
understood as a natural development to what
humans are doing to the natural environment. We
need to take the entire circle into the picture if we
are going to find a real solution.
The virus is mutating and will eventually mutate into
the fabric of the natural system. All this effort and
capital into vaccination is quite a waste in my
opinion. Well, waste because by the time the
vaccines get into the game the virus would have
done its job. The politicians will pat themselves and
Big Pharma would have squeezed every penny out of
the world at large.
Mother Nature wants the weak ones culled. That is
how it has always been, "Survival of the fittest."
I don’t think we can really shut Mother up.
If we have no qualms in creating garbage, polluting
and poisoning our food then we should also have no
qualms of Death doing the rounds.
That we know how to stop disease and viruses and
pandemics is an ASSUMPTION.
From many other view-points, NOT coming out of
USA's think tank, like the Ayurveda principle in India,
the method adopted by Big Pharma and promoted
174
assiduously by WHO ( focused on western medicine
and synthetic thinking) - the method of “fighting
illness” is more a money making racket than help.
The human mind judges things on the basis what
pleases it.
Unpleasant truths are quietly ignored.
 India's Saint poet KABIR said " In pain and misery

everyone thinks of Him; had we thought of Him in
time of joy, pain would have never happened"
I was wondering how this applies well in matters of
health too.
If we take care of ourselves when enjoying good
health we would not have had the suffering of ill
health.
Today as far as I can see, humans have become
extremely negligent. The THOUGHT uppermost
seems to be that the medical fraternity is so highly
advanced that they can handle any crisis we may be
going thru. So we can lose ourselves in the pursuit of
pleasures of the flesh. We let our health slide and we
are elemental in corrupting it thru carelessness.
Insurance cover makes us even more careless.
175
 This is the human mind at work.
The administration cannot accept different opinions
as it disturbs their hold on the populace. Therefore
they will go to any length to suppress independent
thinking and in the process become vile and cruel.
When authority permits us, humans can be demons.
People don't like to be stopped, made to think or
reconsider and be proven in error. This is the first
principle of human relations.
In a microcosm we humans are all the same. Even in
our individual capacity we act similarly.
 We should all learn to live two lives.

One for our private purposes only.
The other for incursions into the world at large.
Our private life is beset with its own share of

problems and we should be working on it to remove
the negative blocks and enhance the positive
energies.
The world at large is what it is; it will not change or
adapt or adopt you in any way. So learn about it and
change and modulate your behavior to fit into it
176
without causing too many ripples. This learning will
also help you get more out of it.

Your post brings back memories of reading R. D.
Laing's "The Politics of Experience", which influenced
me greatly.
The diagnosis may seem clear, the remedy less so.
Would you say that characters like Gandhi and MLK
were political enough?
PK to Robert Wallstén
No they got mixed up thinking thru politics they
could bring change by letting others hold the Wheel
of Power. I don't think Gandhi was so totally sincere
either. He had a penchant for Nehru, a human
weakness towards favoritism and he denuded India
of its power. His style brought in divisive politics and
lethargy. The only way change comes is by being in
POWER yourself and do the greatest good using the
machinery available.
But the scoundrels are the ones who rule because
good people simply never have a common agenda to
go out and get into the mess while scoundrels thrive
together.

 How to begin the day.

Wake quietly in silence on your own steam
(without alarms) and before becoming active
spend some time with your thoughts. Though I
178
normally would call this activity Contemplation
on the highest consciousness state we have and
plan our activities for the day after a thorough
investigation in all sincerity about all the activities
that we have incurred in the last 24 hours and try
to wash off the karmic dirt that may have made
us slip into the negative bracket.
 WE GAVE OUR MINDS & Rights AWAY!

In abject humiliating unequivocal surrender we gave
our God given right to self-heal along with our right
to the USE of our INTELLIFENCE.
In 40s did our elders run to doctors for every small
thing? They survived nevertheless.
Are we having any better health today? Yes, we do
last longer on the crutches available but really, are
we any healthier?
We run to experts/hospitals for just about
everything. A small scratch or bump and we run. This
abject submission of ourselves to SUPERIOR
intelligence, gnostic etc was already laid into us with
the concept of god and religion. The Intelligence
simply took it one step better and we followed like
good sheep.
Think. And think again how readily we agree to
everything that is being told us.
179
Now they have gone one up. Outright poisoning.
Food, water, air and preventive medicine. One
would think the idea is to kill us early rather than
help us live.
How they have created an exclusive clique of
"BELONG or go out there and perish".
150 years ago it was from which "Public School".
[There were societies too like Freemason, Knights
Templar etc but we will leave that out for the point I
am making.]
Then came the Degrees, Doctorates and Diplomas.
Followed by more and more institutions of higher
learning all selling Diploma of some sort if you
wanted to belong.
Once you are in the Golf Clubs and Private Clubs
open to you.
So you either belong or die by the roadside. The
entire planet is in their control along with all
supplies of essentials.
Got it?
We are not bothered. It is all in the day's reckoning.
It is the people who run their own affairs and their
mentality alone counts in the final analysis.
There is an occult mass consciousness as
undercurrent in every place, spot, country, or
people. Until we have understood this we will
180
continue to commit gross errors as the superficial
motive is GREED and Profit which warps everything
and undercuts all good effort.
Talking of India, The Indian consciousness chose this
situation; do you get the occult undercurrent?
The Parliament only makes laws and guidelines.
Blaming the PMs, Presidents always shows that we
have a good guy to pin it all on.
THE CLUB MEMBERSHIP COMES AT A HEFTY PRICE!!!
 Every one of us. Individually and separately has a

very clear idea about this world of ours. Nobody
is listening to another version and nobody is
interested.
Billions of us; all with a particular way of seeing. All
eager to propound.
The best way to pass this lifetime is by watching
movies like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
181
 Now when do we move to the next chapter?
We repeat the established facts, features,
characteristics, and possibilities of/in life.
We have been doing so since philosophers started to
speak and write.
This morning I woke up with this empathic question:
Things are not right or ARE what they are as described
in detail in millions of books and such.!
OK. This part has been established over and over
again.
Now when do we move to the next chapter?
It is making me question myself - a few images here
and there and some words to go along with will not
make any changes in the fabric of this world - I have
been stating this so often ( dont I believe it?).
Is it time to change direction, activity and goals.
The figure 75 sits bluntly on my shoulders.
Whatever time I now have is "extra" - a Grace. How

do I make the most of it for my SOUL?
Seriously what should the route now so that max

advantage can be taken?
182
Spoon Fed.
Literally Spoon Fed.
That is the diaspora in India.
Spoon fed “thoughts”. – don’t question elders.
Everything is “Fait Accompli”. Everything is done.
Ah, you my child, the apple of my eye cannot be but

the grandest. A prince in one’s own right.
There is mother to take care of you. There is me,

father to provide – if I deem it worthy to do so. For
other things there are doctors, engineers, carpenters,
plumbers, electricians, tailors and other experts who
will do all you require.
Take it easy my child. Don’t bother your head with

inanities.
Enjoy yourself. This world is your oyester.
Whatever is written in your fate will be yours;

nobody can take it and neither can anybody deny it.
--- The foundation for DEPRESSION has been fully and

well laid.
183
 Now we have experts.
Then there are the scientists.
And then there are all the rest of us clubbed as

IDIOTS.
All the Idiots have to do is consult the experts and let

scientist define our thinking.
The goal of life today is to become a scientist and

then an expert and enjoy untold power and wealth.
From what I can see the Idiot class is promoting it all

with great fervour.
The term Idiotclass is well merited.
 The human mind with its tit-bit information has

always interfered with the raising of the child.
The human mind is a busybody and simply cannot

abide to see life passing by. That would be too
smooth, to peaceful with the EGO not having a say.
So Whenever it can it will make rules and reasons out

of thin air and push it down the throat of others, the
184
younger they are the better; most often there is no
way of proving or disproving things so people can
either fight back or accede.
[for example: eat this spinach it is good for you.]
Now they have gone one up. Outright poisoning.

Food, water, Air and preventive medicine. One would
think the idea is to kill them early rather than help
them live.
Children always have to do what they are told. The

PHYSICAL giant looking over them has to be per force
given respect.
• Treating others as Gods.
Yes. If we look at it from a very “Mentalised” angle. It

is really a very primitive thing very prevalent in the
less mentally advanced tribes. A primitive response
to life as would have been observed with primitive
tribes still worshiping totems and menhirs; from there
they moved on to temples and now to sages, ascetics
and “tantrics”(Shamans and occultists in India) who
can answer their questions and even remove/solve
their problems and tackle their issues.
185
Humans rush to soothe-sayers because they either
are too lazy, too uneducated and simply in this
moment of time incapable.
Being members of so called religious groups and

visiting so-called holy places they show off their
feelings of being virtuous and grander than thou in
their community.
In the Indian or southeast Asian context, they really

"worship" They unload all their aspirations, fears on
the person or/and deity they worship. All they give is
“obeisance” in principle and expect in return that all
their wishes are fulfilled and problems solved and ills
cured.
It can be a very negative thing.
The real ascetic, philosopher/saint avoids this.

Reverence can be understood and there is no
objection to meeting people to speak to them if they
want to. But worship is totally another thing and
should be totally avoided, rather shunned.
• On Communicating
Malachy Matthews: Is it possible to communicate as

humans?
186
PK: Good question. Perhaps yes if you find someone
who "listens", who has then the patience to register
the data and mull over it absorbing each word,
comma, full stop and nuances. All this is generally not
happening as deemed so unnecessary for we all are
here to tell - not listen like servants.
Listening means understanding, learning and doing.
Not listening is so convenient, so effortless. And you

can always blame the other for not speaking clearly.
But as time will, change is in the air. We can now

connect with instant speeds; say our thing as it comes
into our head but we are being actually forced to pipe
down and think before we put it in words because
messaging has become the mode to connect. “Words”
put down cannot be retracted nor be explained over
by saying it was a mistake or misunderstanding.
Like it or not we need to improve our selves and we

will. I hope.
187
• Agreeing with you will reduce my stature in the
eyes of the world.
So this conclusion: Wise ones exist only because there

are these contradicting coyotes and dancing peacocks
to spice our lives. I feel that this contradicting attitude
and the dance they do and the dance they lead us
does finally egg on some of us to not take it sitting
down but find ways means to escape. In the final
metamorphosis it is a spiritual act as every annoying
thing on this earth is.
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.
It is quite simply our inferiority complex showing up

as The Superior. It is a dare to the world in general
and to you that if you have the courage to fight back
188
let us see if you would throw it all into the wind and
kill the relationship.
It is one way of testing the waters of telling you off

and saying that you are really not needed here to
complete the relationship.
Most people, down with their egos hurt, start

explaining them-selves.
The wise ones see the ensuing battle and quietly walk
off - let the other live in his/her grand scheme of
things.
• The deciding factor.
I would say the deciding factor in our march towards

becoming a greater humanity to write back home
about us has been the WORD.
It is the simple written word that has brought us to a

point where there is some commonness and
universally accepted unifying elements in our global
family.
Look at our story unfolding from the naked sword to

the smart phone.
189
All our decision making is from 3 obvious and 2 not so
obvious levels of existence and our attitude is
reflected from the level in which we are floating and
deciding from.
First is the Physical level: The body and its shape,

ability and sheer strength and prowess is what
matters and everything in our judgment is based in
relation to it. (Think Stone Age right upto the Middle
ages and people at the “physical level like boxers and
soldiers)
Second is the Emotional level. All decisions are based

on our preferences, likes and dislikes. This is not a
stable condition. It changes from minute to minute
and is affected even by the weather. (Think of The
Middle ages to the Present where the aristocrat
created a niche for itself with its demands, emotional
responses, sulks and beautiful creative era when
many of our best buildings, books and such were
created and new ideas from scientific discoveries took
birth)
Third is the Mental level. All the stuff that goes into it
is what eventually comes out. It has little discernment
of its own. So if started with a precise aim, every child
can be conditioned to think and act in a particular
fashion. (Think after WW2)
190
The not so obvious levels are the Instinctive
subconscious level and the Intuitive levels.
The subconscious has a near total hold over us and is

formed by our recent memories and the memories
that go waaaaay back….some to the extent of the
time of the dinosaurs. We have no say here.
The intuitive level is a reality but is not generally

active. It is hidden by the active that we well know of.
When the mind has developed and grown to a point
where it interferes and over-rides all other levels,
nothing else is active in the fore front. This is where
all problems start as at the present moment of
evolution it has become the servant of its “Emotional
Elder Brother” and has not learnt to see beyond it.
Hurtful Situations and Enmity has grown because the
people of all level have begun mixing but not giving
any space to each other. The mind has no patience,
very little tolerance and demands obeisance
otherwise it becomes uncomfortable and REACTS –
mostly on the basis of instinct and the subconscious
patterns. And its first reaction is to bring out the
sword (this is how it was in recent Earth’s history and
the patterns are still highly prevalent).
We are still quite at the level of "SKIN HIM ALIVE".

Earlier we did it literally and now we do it with
191
WORDS. Unfortunately though, with the advent of
weaponry designed to kill from far, the tendency to
go to war with extreme cruelty is surfacing again.
So the question is at which level are we and taking our

decisions from?
We humans have had a long journey and the question

that is faced by us is WHERE are we headed now?
Off hand, if I were to be asked how I would advise the

human race to become a Complete man as Confucius
would say, my response is….
First let us divide in a very broad manner the kind of

people we are most likely generally to meet….
1) The warrior hunter
2) The teacher, artist, craftsman
3) The businessman
4) The siddha, yogi, sage
5) The intellectual mentally well informed
6) The none-of-the above

192
The complete man would have to be all these 6 in a
composite whole as well as distinctly separate. So
totally master of himself that he would show only one
or more side of his persona as the moment requires.
It would be impossible to place a finger on him and
say “he is this”.
His greatness is in the ability to project only that part

of himself as the opposite party can reconcile to and
recognise or need or use.
This is the aim I believe humanity should be working

at just now. I find it rather scary when people talk of
spiritual attainments when the basic foundation has
yet not been formed. It is very easy to create tall
buildings that would sway and collapse in the first
strong gust of wind or so heavy that it would collapse
on itself.
In this light, Enlightenment and the search for it

seems so amusing.
• Our disconnect has reached dangerous proportions.

The thinking mind is not in use. If this goes on we shall
be back at the stage of the "fish". I saw a video on FB
in which a tiny fish has been trained to jump thru a
193
hoop by a householder in the aquarium at home. The
dolphins are showing greater awareness.
This morning I was standing outside at the gate on the

road. The newspaper boy came and I thought he
would put the paper in my hands as he stopped 2
meters from me but no; he went around the car and
placed it in the porch as usual. When he came out I
asked him why he did not give it to me? His reply: I
did not see you!
I am scared to let my kid go out as for some reason

they are so lost in a world within themselves that they
do not notice anything around them. They don’t see
the cars coming, the things blocking their ways and
people around them waiting to snatch their phone
and bags - they take no protective measures as if they
are still sitting in their mother's lap.
It is frightening.
The need of the moment is a rise in consciousness

levels.
Humans have learnt to live upon certain glorified

images of what is good and bad and they are content
and satisfied when they have managed to ape and
incorporate these images in their puny lives.
194
As individuals we live we very self-contained tiny lives;
moving within some very limited parameters. All our
energies are focussed on creating the right images for
others so that we are appreciated and accepted in the
society we move in.
As an aside I give this example: It was found in the

1950s that being seen on TV with dogs and babies
increased the chances of being elected to office. So
this became part of the orchestrated projection of the
persona of the candidate. So much so that soon
having a dog became the virtuous thing to do. Now
people think of themselves as pet-parents. And
human children are not having it half as good dogs are
in many households.
This has been the problem of humanity since the time

the mind woke up and began developing separately as
an intellectual spirit. Religions came out with lists of
good and bad "IMAGES". In the present state of things
most people have only one goal - to be seen as
"good" and this they do by fitting themselves into
frames that have been already prepared for them.
The vibrations, the words and the images are being

pumped into a person right from the moment of
inception.
195
The big question therefore is how to break this vicious
circle and raise the level of consciousness and change
the images to be living for.
The climate issue is not yet hurting the individual in

the city where most of the activities of humans is now
centered. Where and what is the problem? Water
comes in taps, electricity runs everything; for
travelling there is the car and food can be ordered by
telephone.
What crisis are you talking of?
As mostly history has taught, humans need crisis to

get out of their stupor. And the earth is definitely
moving towards one. Everything will happen in good
time. It is a natural cycle that cannot be hurried
without a raise of consciousness and the raise of
consciousness will not happen without the crisis. The
pity is that one crisis may not be enough. With each
crisis humanity moves up one tiny microscopic notch.
So we have a lot of generations still to go.
As individuals let us do the best we can.
(Although my feeling is these few drops into the

ocean only serve to delay the inevitable crisis.)
196
But I am seeing the mind now sticking itself on other
fixations. This scientific understanding of the Creation
is creating another shift in mentalising our world.
I will call it a change only when the nature of the mind

itself sees a change where it stops being a tool of the
"emotional center" and will stop seeing itself as the
center of the world.
• "It matters not".
The realisation that nothing is ours here on earth.
We dont live lives. We live a streaming of moments.

Some are connected to each other but mostly they
are not.
The moments pile up on each other and are short or

relatively long but basically still remain moments.
But if you enjoyed your moment then it is and was all

good.
The error is in calculating your future upon it.
What really matters: Did the moments teach you to

be KIND beyond yourself?
197
Kind enough to say what you mean and do what you
mean?
The world is as false as the words you utter and the

thoughts you know will not be seen or cannot be
known so indulged in with impunity.
But nothing matters. You die with your cleverness and

are soon forgotten.
• Some; rather most people cannot think and talk

in general. Generalisations are lost on them.
They normally respond with exceptions to prove that

they know what you are speaking about and take no
time to show you the error of your generalisations.
Their vanities assuaged at the same time
Some words or some element of an image triggers

their thinking process which they connect with images
already in their minds and they are off on a track
which your words never intended. Their reaction is to
a single or group of words; never the whole idea or
picture.
Give them a whole passage to mull upon and they will

see only a few words here and there, conclude God
198
knows what and thereby totally give your point of
view a royal miss. Most often they do not respond,
having totally misunderstood the intentions (I may
even venture to say: deliberately) and relationships
are soured.
It is best, while in speech mode not to use words that

the other person may not know….. they end up
matching the sound to some words that they do
know, reword your sentence and it can end up in a
miniature disaster.
Recently I used the word Condo as in condominium

and the lady at the other end heard “condom”!
• Certain picturisations (mental imagery, even

putting them down on canvas) tend to then want to
manifest. Spirits in the netherworld are attracted and
find common grounds of magnetism.
I would desist from inviting ghouls in our minds and

images.
There are no religions. There are thought patterns.

These thoughts are put into words by certain
perceptive people. On the basis of the sincerity of
199
interpretation the words then make a place for
themselves in the physical world through sound and
print.....largely impregnating other minds who in turn
re-translate it to fit a little more into the veracity of
their personal experience as they will it.
(This is why the old Texts like the Gita and Bible,
Koran have lost all meaning at the group level).
Certain words are simple and can be used in multiple

usages.
Like in India the most common words in action are "It

does not matter" and these words now reflect in all
we do - mostly badly. This sentence has been
polluting our psychology. And; in this age of precise
technology it is showing maladroitly as accidents due
to bad maintenance and worse as faulty observations.
It is proving to be a costly exercise.
• We spend a lot of thought and speech energy in

useless pursuits. I keep repeating to all who would
listen, particularly, to stop complaining and
discussing, just do what you have to do in this
moment and be done with it.
Observe, contemplate and act if needed. Then drop it

from your mind - forget it.
200
Unwilling learning is always a great source of pain.
Therefore all this talk of Dukkha (pain and sadness).
Right now we have to go with the Universe; all our
kind thoughts and wishes notwithstanding. We force
the Universe to inflict pain by making us go through
the drills of life otherwise we would never learn.
Humans refuse to accept that things are not quite

positively balanced on Earth.
A small error is made in thinking that the positive

energy will erase the negative. Right now in our
Creation both are needed to complete the circle. And
the negative ones are strongly placed.
Eventually one day, sometime in the evolutionary

future the positive vibes will permeate and the
negative ones will dissolve but not just yet as far as I
can see.
• When we leave home or invite others home or go

to work or play with the thought behind it all that
"Are we being noticed; Are we making a good
impression; Am I pretty; Am I smart; What are they
thinking of me?", we are laying open the doors of
vulnerability to our castle open.
201
We are even making it easy for others to influence us
by playing on our own thoughts/vanities mainly by
listening to praise that manipulators always use as a
tool.
Think about it.
• I believe that certain invisible but powerful

entities use human people for universal ends not very
clear to human intelligence. Humans as yet are not
fully mentally formed with a strong will and mind. The
mind is also not well informed or educated – it is
under influence of the subconscious with the entire
history of the earth behind it. It is a very primary
instrument easily given to misuse by stronger entities
and manipulated with ease. You can see humans of a
clever kind manipulating the lesser intellectually
endowed all the time. So it should not be difficult to
imagine more powerful Beings in the hidden
atmosphere of the earth running things since time
began.
Even death does not really stop the continuous

repletion of actions much as these same entities are
only delayed but never stopped. According to some
202
occult traditions, there are mischievous entities that
cause accidents for pleasure.
Those who try to live against being used normally

have very turbulent lives as it is a war of a kind being
waged. The malevolent entities all join hands and
work as a team and keep interfering and devising
situations to get their way. Those who do not
cooperate have to face many troublesome times.
But in this world karma is also at work and this can

also be seen doing its work of cause and effect but it
is slow and not always evident to the human eye in its
time frame.
Lorrie Grenier: is there a way to forever rid one of

these entities?
Pradeep Pk Maheshwari: No. They are part and parcel

of the Universal fabric of the Universe and make the
other half of the spectrum. They serve the purpose of
"testing" the human spirit otherwise it would remain
forever dormant and never realise its own Truth. They
are inadvertent Teachers so a necessary evil. They will
dissolve the day the human consciousness rises and
they will have become redundant.
203
But some of them are counterparts of Gods, equally
grand and in opposition. They feed on human pain
and gory events and keep on engineering them. Our
thought processes promote them.
In the dark ages they had Europe completely under

their grip and from there they spread all over the
globe culminating in Hitler who was under the
influence (as told to us by Sri Aurobindo and The
Mother of Pondicherry) of one very great one. His
defeat was an engineered feat which allowed Him to
spread to USA and Russia and from there spread
mayhem in terms of war and general damaging
thinking....when I use the word damaging thinking I
mean using thoughts to give an impression of doing
good and serving the people's interests but in
actuality weakening their spirits from within - making
them virtual slaves and zombies.
The war between the Forces of Light and these

demigods continues and we are seeing the effects of
it in our lives individually and the condition of
destruction in the world in an intensified form.
These clever Beings also give humanity the thoughts

and technological knowledge to produce products
and services that allow them to spread their misery
loaded suggestions.
204
Humans unknowingly are cooperating. But luckily
some individuals, now in greater numbers are waking
up. The spread of basic education was used to enslave
mankind and dumbing it down. This same education is
now helping to spread the positive words of
understanding and growth. Today electronics is also
helping these individuals to find each other and learn
and become even more aware.(this is my justification
of being on FB)
• If humanity is to rise above its present insincere

attitudes, it must gear itself to think & speak with
intent. Which means it must not just keep on
warbling. It must speak with focused intent. It must
absolutely speak with purpose and let not this
precious energy go flying and dumped as garbage of
no importance.
Do not utter words you do not mean. Do not make

promises that you do not intend to keep. And if your
promises get broken for some reason, make the effort
to personally make amends.
205
I have noticed from close quarters how my daughter
was promised/invited for a special treat which
eventually never materialized. This has happened on
6 different occasions. On one date she was all ready
to go and she gets a message that it would not be for
now.
In other cases she invited people who promised to

come but did not for no real excuse. She waited and
was so disappointed that it showed.
What has come over people? And these people I am

referring to are not casual relationships either. This
dishonesty creates waves that affects us and our
thinking; warping it heavily.
The hurt this has caused my daughter is hurting me

too. Her need for validating herself has grown and she
is showing signs of being disturbed by this rejection. It
is showing in her life in school too.
I hate all these people doing such meaningless harm.
• Mind, Body, Illness
Why does the HUMAN Being REFUSE change and why

does the mind follow and supports it at every step?
The answer is simple. First the mind is still not formed
206
fully and is still in its nascent stage of evolution and
connected mainly to the physical world of the body.
Second, most often our thought patterns take our
bodies into situations and activities it simply does not
like.
If you observe with a little attention, most of the

activities humans indulge in are focused mainly and
have root in the instinctive demands of the body, the
need to eat, the need to be comfortable so as to sleep
safely and satisfy the urge and pressures of the sexual
act; and of course the need to find means to satisfy
these needs.
The mind is still roaming within these parameters. It

has heard of and feels the spirit world but only a few
individuals venture out in this area because it does
not seem to be at all in alignment with the 3 needs
discussed above + it requires deviation from the norm
and the crowd in general has no place for these
disrupting individuals. So it can be tough materially
and psychologically to live in a world where one is
seen as weird and often derided and willfully hurt -
with words and attitudes and sometimes even bodily.
And it is daunting to try and stay in this unknown

territory which does not seem to offer any immediate
reward.
207
There is this additional burden of the body which may
not always cooperate.
The body has a simple memory system that records

everything. New information is not recorded easily. It
requires some continued repetitions for the body to
assimilate new practices which then it adjusts to.
Stress factors mainly are changing all the time and the
body has to fashion its balancing-act accordingly. For
instance when we travel, food may change. The body
has to adjust to the new ingredients and/or cooking
styles. This is very disrupting.
Too many activities at the same time or in speedy

succession can confuse it and deregulate its memory
and cause stress. This is the basic reason behind
advising - to eat simple fare and not too many things
at a time (a huge spread of 50 items can by its very
view upset the body and brain responses) – to not
having too many partners – to not engage in too
many complex projects at the same time
(multitasking).
After millions of years of adaptations, the genetics

and habits of a people were established. Now we are
loaded with choices, and we travel so much that it is
disorienting. And we indulge in all that catches our
208
fancy without realising how much pain we are causing
to our body.
We also weight ourselves down with some collections

of notions that mentally block our thinking and
decisions. Call them “conditioning” but these habits of
being and thinking are really like rocks on the way and
dislodging them is an arduous task. Most therefore, it
is not surprising, prefer to take the easy route in life
and follow the crowd. Fate and karma are good hooks
to hang our deficiencies upon.
Our older cultures that were closer or are closer to

nature, reflect and practice this understanding. 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. There is much to benefit from a simple
regimen, simple living, simple and honest thinking and
living without malice but also being awake to the
world around us with all its mal-intended projections
and protect oneself and as far as possible evade
engagement with them if possible.

----------------------------------------
To most what I am speaking of and writing would not be of any

importance because all of us live in a world of our own compelled
by the limits of our minds. Eventually all this evolutionary
movement thru "Mother Nature" is towards the mind moving into
211
the next gear of the Intuitive Mind. In the present state it is just an
interfering instrument.
It disturbs the age old intuitive abilities of the body and puts
mistrust in the heart. In its arrogance of knowing it only goes
about sowing disequilibrium and often it is self-destructive.
The present day mind is capable of great things when it lets go its
pride in being the knower and doer.
Nobody would have the experience of the Cosmos in the way I
have had which is particular to me. So to think that anyone would
agree with me or take me seriously would be really asking for too
much. I accept this and yet I am putting my thoughts down
because I wish to. Who knows what comes next?!!
