Bruce Lee said, “Power comes from discipline.” But where does discipline come from?
True discipline does not come from forcing yourself. It comes from fascination.
Fascination is the engine that propels all of life. It is the opposite of force. The opposite of tension. The opposite of doubt.
Fascination is love. When you are fascinated by something, you are seeing the Divinity within it.
Fascination contains love, logic, power, commitment, steadfastness, vision, understanding, and purpose. It is why we devote ourselves. Why we build. Why we endure. Why we move forward, forward, always forward.
I have dedicated my life to Mt Soma because it fascinates me — the idea of creating something that heals humanity, ends suffering, and brings fulfillment to all. That is life’s ultimate purpose. Isn’t it? And fascination is what gives us the strength to pursue it.
🎯 Dhanurveda: The Vedic Architecture of Strength
Dhanurveda — the Vedic science of archery — is not just about combat. It is about life. Life is archery. Every action is an arrow.
The classical sequence is universal:
1. Root → Prithvi (Earth)
The archer first roots into the earth. Stability, grounding, immovability. Everything begins with connection to the ground. the earth, the essence, the Absolute, the Transcendent.
2. Align → Sushumnā (Central Channel)
Before drawing the bow, the warrior “straightens the inner channel.” This is the vertical alignment of the spine and pranic current. “the current rises upward”
3. Open → Hṛdaya (Heart Expansion)
Just before release, the chest and inner being must open, not contract. Open = clarity, fluidity, non-resistance. This is the internal “opening of the channel.”
4. Drive → Mokṣa (Release)
The release is effortless, committed, precise action. Not forced, but unified. This is your “Drive.”
Root → Align → Open → Drive — maps exactly onto: Prithvi → Sushumnā → Hṛdaya → Mokṣa. It is the energetic and biomechanical logic of classical archery, of perfect Sumo, and of life itself.
🧠 CNS Insight: The Real Barrier to Strength
Deep in the tendons live the Golgi Tendon Organs (GTOs). These sensors shut down force output when tension spikes suddenly or when the pattern feels unsafe. When GTOs trigger, they can take 48–72 hours to reset.
This is why a lift can feel smooth one moment and impossible the next. The nervous system protects long before the mind understands.
Body (muscle): fear → locks up Mind: doubt → blocks
Both stop movement. Both stop life. And both can be dissolved.
Closing Thought
True strength is not force. It is fascination organized into precision. When the root is stable, the channel aligned, the heart open, and the release clean — strength emerges effortlessly.
That is the architecture of strength — in the gym, in Dhanurveda, and in life.

Projection, Perception, Gods, Immortals, and the enlightened. What do we actually ‘see’? Also, we are now on the threshold. The future is unimaginable. Witness it. Be a part of it from the ground floor. Join in from the ground floor.
The entire world will not all be enlightened but many societies will be. The world will always have two poles to spin around.
Without projection there is no universe. Perception is what we actually do see, projections is what we think we see. When they become the same thing, the universe ceases to exist,
It’s not about facts. It’s about conceiving from within.
The Veda exists within every point in creation eternally.
The ‘story’ is great, but what lies deeper is much greater.
The story points in a direction where few think to go.
Ask what is the underlying principle in nature. Conceive that.
How to learn from a Spiritual Master.
Step one, be sure the master is for real!
From what I have seen, few people do step one well.
It is not about emotion, hype, drama, flash, vogue, etc. Look as deeply as you can. It is not about if it resonates with something within you. It is about what within you it resonates with. As Adi Shankara said, “The spiritual path is the path of discernment”
It is not about personality or conformity with your preconceived notions. If it was, then where is the learning.
It is not a popularity contest, or a social gathering point
Common sense, spirituality, depth, in-sight
Really it might all too often just come down to motivation… what are you really wanting?
Looking into the Mirror
When he/she holds up a mirror, what do you do? mirroring
When something is not consistent with your views… think or better said discern. Where do you go when on the edge? Do you learn or reject? Do you deepen your thinking, or reject and judge.
Do you embrace your issues, or truth.
All too often, “your truth” is really just your issues.
Assuming the person is truly a spiritual master, how do you learn from that person?
Listen carefully, observe, reflect, the mirror shows your beauty and your limitations. If you are willing to look, it points in the direction of your growth.

The Guru is the gateway to freedom. The Guru is the Guru’s teachings. No separation. Beyond personality or better said, the personality is fully part of That. Yet if the perceiver is not fully integrated within themselves it is not fully seen.
