Longings are.....

Longings are  like a trail  left behind in a deep forest, One keeps revisiting the forest on the same trail , unable to find any other path and yet under the illusion of exploring the vastness of the forest.

Longings  are like the neural pathways developed through the span of one's life , in search, in this eternal pursuits and neural pathways are eventually,the scars formed as the journey has no final destination as " the other" in one's life may have different pathways, running parallel , never meeting!

Longings  are neurotransmitters like Dopamin& Oxytoxin shooting up and sadly down!

Longings and their destinations are the value given to life

Longings are the beats of heart varying, all  the time!

Longings are this inner chatter, with no quite

Longings are not the space but words, entangled enmeshed

And longings leave a trail behind!

And longings are the invisible scars , in an invisible space and time!

Questions to self?

https://youtu.be/fZwot6T29eI

Covid 19 and religion.

The content of  Religion is religious beliefs, surety of right and wrong, surety of purpose in life, surety of cause and effect.
The religious beliefs in the times of covid 19 were not for the first time shaken, as death did not spare even the holy congregation in the house of almighty!

The destruction during natural calamities always defied the cause and effect model of human thinking as it could be just an energy shift beyond rhyme and reason.


Revelation one.
Nature is not interested in the  "pious  man".

The rationalist all over the world are busy analysing , trying to dig the cause, showering bravado on the states least affected, even when one has no grip over the factors like virulence of strains of virus, geographical location , racial effects etc

They are also stuck in the If's and but's, woulds and shoulds just like any other mortal, who is regreting and analysing his past ruminating over If's and but's as life energy untouched by all of it moves as it must!

The sea waves keep contemplating the reasons of high and low tide!
The sea waves keep fearing their extinction.
The sea waves keep planning ,how to avoid extinction!

And the ocean , which is turbulent and calm at the same time is essentially one!
And it doesn't give a hoot to the fear, the belief and the analysis of the waves.It had  never asked the wave to identify itself as wave!

It was there! It is there

Revelation two
God or supreme energy is untouched by your peity, your tragedy, your worship, your purpose, your honesty and your righteousness

And if somehow all the  spiritual and religious knowledge, all what has been said or is being said  is all gone , what would be left would be life , not my life not your life ,but life which is "one" which is changing its
 forms and changing its patterns, forever!

Revelation three
Novel Corona virus invisibly and silently continues its journey how it must only to finally stop,when it must!

MEDITATION-ITS HAZARDS!

In case you do not wish to meditate call 91-9818089129 for an appointment .
Meditation has its root meaning 'to measure'
What is generally called meditation is but concentration . Concentrating on a particular object, sign,set of syllables,breath,sound,light etc!. One set of thought curbing or struggling to suppress other thoughts . SUPPRESSION IS THE KEY OR ESSENCE, and the outcome is conflict struggle and pushing the problem deeper! By associating with some religious symbols or mantras or signs,one considers it as a very sacred act!
And the repetitive-ness brings about 'peace' which is nothing but drowsing the mind akin to hypno- therapy where subconscious mind is lulled by repetitive activity of the mind.
Mantras--Chanting of mantras which have a specific meaning and vibration does shape ones psyche in a desired form to re enforce and superimpose a chosen thought pattern over the pre-existing pattern ,to temporarily achieve the desired mental state. But it is extremely VIOLENT as it fights the existing, opposite pattern , overpowering and suppressing it,only for the suppressed thought pattern to express itself in magnified and virulent form at a later stage!!!!

T ANOTHER GIMMICK OF MIND TO KEEP ITS CONTINUITY.And its unfortunate that one does not have any other tool other than mind at one's disposal!
one can alter ones physiology with various drugs like L.S.D,MESCALIN [Reduces oxygen and glucose to the parietal lobe which functions in self identification of the self]and have some wonderful psychic or religious experiences. One can stop the oxygen supply to the brain by holding the breath or bring about hypothermia and change the sphere of visual and audio perception and have these so called religious experiences.

After the end of all this struggle and effort, one essentially remains the same.one remains with the insecurities, the conflicts, the sorrow and the quest for eternal happiness!
And the effort and the conflict gradually brings about a neurosis of a kind,which may or may not be visible or classifiable. The ego of a person practicing meditation or sadhna of any kind is thus bloated [may or may not be concealed] as the doer strengthens itself in doing!with ever widening gulf of division between I and you!
It is nothing but "high" which one seeks ,either through yoga or meditation
Bored with daily routine life,one seeks sensual pleasure of a kind in form of religious or spiritual experiences.or when the mind is saturated by daily life worries,anxiety,trauma,one seeks an outlet through meditation, and the peace which one experiences is but a gap between two worries or stressful situations.

AS LONG AS ONE KEEPS ON PURSUING AN IDEAL STATE OF PEACE AND TRANQUILITY, OVERLOOKING WHAT ONE IS[ONES TURMOIL], ONE WILL KEEP ON PURSUING IT FOR ETERNITY!

SPIRITUAL GYMNASIUM AND ENLIGHTENMENT
Yoga kriyas ,kundalani awakening techniques, tantric sex and various other forms of meditation and sadhna are flooded in spiritual market promising peace ,eternal happiness and spiritual growth . And the outcome of all this is the society, we live in!!!
All this effort and struggle is to attain an idealistic state ,ignoring what 'one is'
a movement away from unitary life energy,which is always in present.
One who is taking you into an inner journey,does not know ,that by dividing the self into inner and outer he is making sure ,that he is perpetuating the existing conflict.

In a nutshell as long as the mediator is different from the meditation, There always will be duality and conflict, and there is no way they can become one.
Mankind has been taken for a ride by the gurus into believing that meditation is a gradual evolutionary process at the end of which , waits liberation, the final bait!!!!
Liberation from-----------?

PROS &CONS OF MEDITATION
http://whynotmeditation.blogspot.in/

Counselling

WE[individual genetic make-up]PERCEIVE THINGS FROM A RELATIVE POINT OF VIEW[OUR VIEW] ,WHICH IS A SUM TOTAL OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
AND THE CONTENT OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS OUR UPBRINGING,OUR SOCIAL AND CULTURAL MILEU,OUR KNOWLEDGE AND MEMORY AND OUR GENETIC MAKE -UP


A GOOD COUNSELLOR IS ONE WHO TRIES TO SHOW YOU DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEWS
A BETTER COUNSELLOR IS ONE WHO SHOWS YOU 'THE ABSOLUTE' POINT OF VIEW
the most important thing one may realize is that,"one is not ,the captain of his ship".all in the genes-
Latest scientific studies and researches have proved that genes play most prominent role in deciding the physical,mental ,'spiritual' and behavioral constitution of a person.
Even faith is hardwired into our genes.Human beings bear a gene which predisposes them to be religious and experience mystical or spiritual experiences.
The neurotransmitters are behind one co-relating with a particular personality trait.So its the break down of these neurotransmitters ,which is brought about by genes ,which makes one aspire for salvation, or one being an atheist or a rationalist!
So whatever one is,whatever ones inclination are, whatever one perceives oneself as or aspires to be is all because of one's genetic make-up!

Free will/Determinisms
Latest evidence from brain researches reveal that we mostly use our reptilian and mammalian brain than our human brain, which is left to justify and rationalize the instinctive and reactive behavior of other two brains[brain can be divided into three parts]
Our "freedom of action" is governed by our fundamental biochemical make-up.
so, it sounds unfortunate , but that is how it is-we are not free!
our belief in free will is also determined!Each of us is shackled from birth to a genetically determined future,bound by the chains of the D.NA double helix!
.The conditioning to a lesser extent then shapes us on the back-ground of our personalities or biochemical make-up.we are made to conform to the
values of the society into which we are born through our upbringings and
the influence of geological,cultural and political forces around us.Biologist maintain that all moods and emotions are closely associated with certain chemicalsThis organism 'man' is so mechanistic that one's ego ceases to accept this as accepting this is a threat to its existence .
And freedom thus is only another notion or word with no significance!

AS LONG AS ONE STRIVES TO CHANGE ONE SELF FUNDAMENTALLY,ONE CANNOT CHANGE !

There is a constant struggle and duality in trying to change oneself from what one is in present to what one wants to become in future" A constant fight between two divisions of one singular mind.One thought trying to suppress or curb the other, eventually leading to misery and frustration.
SELFISH TO THE CORE-
The one special,unique and unfortunate feature which differentiates man from the rest of the living forms is the"ego" or "I",and the man keeps on nurturing and strengthening this self-image for the rest of "his life" with his growing experiences .With the formation of this ego or a new referral point, the absolute
becomes relative.And everything is perceived by this center and all the perception is subjected to the content of this image which is a sum total of experiences and memory of the"individual".With formation of the ego at a young age,future life will be seen through one's particular pair of glasses!!!!!!!!!!
And here starts the division ---ME AND YOU. Life,which simply is ,becomes "my life"
All the actions originate from this center ,and thus man can not help being selfish! Everything,including all the"selfless activities " and "charitable deeds" are self centered!
