Rare But Essential Knowledge: Mahabharata Revisited
emotional stability: be it international or interpersonal: emotional maturity
kindness is the greatest gift
keep your balance, otherwise don’t speak until you gain balance and then speak
holding it in until you explode is not a good strategy!!
speak sweetly, kindly, wisely and you can say almost anything…. communion/communication…
be constructive… don’t lose yourself over the little things
the key to healthy relationships: learn to talk with stability while pressured… the rare art of expressing yourself wisely
human beings [all of us] are incredibly vulnerable creatures…
a kiss does not make up for a cut/punch… speak responsibly or say nothing until you can find a better way
healthy communication takes effort…. and when you are tired and want to not effort, alone at home with family, most important to be attentive to the relationships
worst time to speak is when you are angry
get in touch with your ACTUAL motivation. you are often not angry about what you think you are angry about
anger is just a shroud for hurt
you can say what you need to say IF you can keep your balance
confrontation vs communion… the key is staying stable, in BALANCE
projection vs perception
taking a deeper look at: ‘faith in god gives life meaning’… the essence of ‘faith’ is inner knowing. Know what you know and strive to understand it better.
World History is an accounting of emotional instability.
Clouds part for each of us on only certain portions of the sky…. e.g. Bobby Fischer

The enlightened age will occur when all religions are recognized as dedicated to the same one thing,
while realizing that the integrity of each nation is determined by the laws of nature unique to that land,
while honoring those not of that land to remain dedicated to their heritage while respecting the integrity and traditions of the land in which they reside,
while also honoring the depth of understanding of the nature of life, existence, science, and spirituality from their and all angles of all approaches/ perspectives,
and knowing that all is unified in harmony and mutual respect when held insightfully and honorably yet remaining strong in the harmonious integrity of their own birthright.

nurture people for what they have as opposed to judging them for what they don’t have. do your best to understand them and speak to them accordingly. not as easy as it sounds
the teacher can only suggest or point in a direction. the rest is up to the student.
yet it takes pressure to make a diamond. push but only so much.
at the same time:
someone said my podcasts are too deep and people have a hard time understanding them. my interest is not in popularity via superficiality but rather is for people who do want and need a deeper level of understanding. It is best to take not understanding as an invitation to pursue not a discouragement or criticism. My heart goes out to those who need and long for a deeper knowledge when it is not available. Relying on the knowledge I have been given integrated with my own experience, I offer to the best of my ability, whatever insights I have. There are great scholars out there and I rely upon their insights, but discernment as Adi Shandara said, is the path. We must discern the level of the people they are addressing at any given time. Even the greatest master can target the average level of consciousness. My goal is twofold: 1] build the enlightened city and 2] provide the deepest understanding I can… direct and undiluted.
He who has no name. Beyond perspective.
It’s not just about new thoughts, but rather a new way of thinking.
Two human needs: communion and privacy
It’s not about over thinking but perhaps just sitting with it. To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.”

The year of Anger and how it plays out; also, Ancient Secret to Hatha Yoga flexibility and a few Vedic verses explored
Upcoming year predictions are self-evident from watching the news and taking a step back. [as well as jyotish]. 2024: Our planet’s year of Anger, chaos, and conflict in all areas of life will continue throughout the year and well into 2025 BUT it is a clearing out process for good times to follow. The world will then wake up to natural law, wisdom, and in-sight. It is amazing to witness the degree to which mass mentality is so easily manipulated. Yet the grassroots of humanity are always closer the Mother Nature. Wisdom will emerge. Just hang in there for now! Think if it as a tint in the color of the water of the ‘fish bowl’ that will clear. So, watch your anger!
Global events will be evaluated based upon one’s bias. Think about it. What happens in Ukraine, Israel, elections, climate change, borders, etc. etc.
Whatever happens, half the world will see it as great, the other half will see it as disaster. But the big picture is that we are in the phase transition. That is a time when things bubble up in chaos as we have been seeing. But after the chaos of 2024/2025, we will be on the right course. Time and Mother Nature will let us know what that right course is.
Hatha yoga secret to flexibility revealed.
Tight muscles are about the nervous system, not the muscles!
