How Not to Destroy Relationships

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.

Beyond “Trance States”

my unedited personal notes:

my search for a personal assistant – need to write more, etc.

sound healing:   https://www.vedicsound.org/

these podcasts often build upon previous ones.  

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.”

Ancient Secret: Lord Shiva’s drum

Relationships key: How to “See” the person/“pillow” in front of you

This week’s unedited notes:

announcements:

temple “Updates&Reflections” tab

remodeling kitchen so no food service at Mt Soma for a while.

pandit boy school

greenhouse

my role should best be: Gyan which is foundation of success.  

———

Shiva’s Drum Damaru

A to Ka may first feel like theory or intellectual only, but as you reflect upon it or touch into it, the reality is enlivened in your awareness, which is why I strive to relate it to the experience

a gardener nurtures the delicate sprout.  it all eternally remains unfathomable for us all

 veda and relative alike

external dynamics of relationship do not define the relationship 

i.e.  A and Ka, staying lively with the A-A-A value is key to relationships  

beauty in reaching for Truth through the veil of chitta and vritti [thoughts/whirlpools source, from where one is coming from]

 knowing essence of music, or math, or any field.

the difference between an enlightened person and a god.  house of mud vs house of crystalline glass

pay attention to how you ‘define’ others…  your thoughts and attitudes have tremendous power.

Veda is in the physiology, not the words

‘Know that one thing by which all else is known’

4 abhavas… junction point of relative and absolute.  tangent to a line… smriti

structure of veda

samhita value,,, essential understanding

swaras structure explained, prakritis, paraprakritis, 10 mandalas structure explained

Agni, AK, ‘smaller than the smallest, bigger than the biggest’

Samhita:   like perfect unified team [maybe think like a perfect football team]

getting the point

through unmanifestation and manifestation, all knowledge is known

Lri seed of manifestation:  seed of material existence

Gyan shakti and Kriya shakti

A I U Ri Lri E O Am

 Rishi, Devata, Chandas

Life Deserves Cultivation: How to Build a Fulfilling Life

This weeks reflections:

Home, Om, Womb are ultimately the same one thing.

Mapping: life, personal process and bodybuilding, spiritual growth… perspectives are just the beginning..  find truth of it within yourself

nobody else will say it exactly right

potato/pota-a-ato to them means the world to you.  ultimately, the process of your personal development is exactly that: personal.

kindness & judgement: towards the world, others, ones self

anger is unbridled judgement

fascination… my favorite emotion

find truth within yet when it feeds rebellion/defiance/militance one is losing ones way. 

wisdom is inner truth integrated with a balanced heart and mind: the foundation to a “good life”

the foolish genius… smart vs crazy

just because they are smart does not mean they are not crazy

we have two brains..intellect and intuition [gut feeling]  ultimately the gut is the better decision maker.

gossip means not minding ones own business. it is as destructive as it is common.  it is the antithesis of kindness. 

kindness is the great gift you can give to others

one persons affinities are anothers aversions. insisting that others feel about things the same way you do is oblivious futility.  understanding this is a prerequisite to world peace.  living your life while allowing others to live theirs does not mandate commingling.

a persons sexuality is their own business, but pushing it on others is as futile as it is unacceptable.

you can justify anything with the intellect and people do.

thoughts matter little (we have all sorts of thoughts) … how we feel about those thoughts makes all the difference

On marriage: it is easier to stand on 4 feet than two. 

Married or single, together or alone, cultivate contentment in your home.  That is the foundation of a good life. Requiring constant attention, build it over time and once built protect it as your #1 personal priority.  Hold it with kindness.

Kindness within the home, holding one another, even without touching, even without speaking, create the atmosphere that holds others… especially those you love.  

they speak of people being framed for a crime? Yet we frame one another all day long every day strive not to frame, but to be open and under-standing. …humility is built right into the word [after all, it is not “over-standing”.

We look out to the world for self actualize and yet real self actualization happens in the heart through the home, and it then goes out into the world.  Outer actualization is a manifestation of true self actualization which is within.

the 3 spiritual houses of jyotish [astrology] are [4,12,8] home. om, and womb.  they are all 3 of the same essence.  

ultimately, best decisions are made with the gut, not the brain

intellect is an essential tool but a poor master.  enlightenment is living at, from, and in your true home. 

Aspire to wisdom… and remember that wisdom, lies beyond the intellect

the world famous chinese doctor Shen’s most common reason given for a persons health problem: ”life no good”.  Create and maintain a “good life”: it’s the number one health essential.

Rest into the home, the om, the womb … the source, the foundation, the root of life, from which all else manifests.  Strength in the outer world is rooted in the stability of the home.  Losing that connection is the source of all dis-ease.

Hold your friends, associates, and housemates in kindness, in love and kindness… even when in other rooms, it doesn’t matter for that feeling is an underlying field, a foundation of silence that holds and cradles all…. the source, the wellspring of fulfillment.

Stability is the foundation of strength and fulfillment within.   the home is that source of stability: home om womb  cultivate that in your life and give it you ongoing dedication.

And resting into that place within it is carried with you wherever you go

Fundaments of Freedom

My unedited notes:

Inner priorities can free or confine.  Let’s take a moment to reevaluate how we ‘roll’.            

Reaccessing your goals.  Have the courage to tack like a sailboat.  To tack is not to say you were mistaken. It is just life.

Self Honesty

Facing the wind 

Lying to yourself is the greatest form of self betrayal

Samskaras—impressions left upon the mind… the sum total of lifes stored experiences…. Karma.   Fight your karma with everything you’ve got.

commitment to stands taken can be the biggest obstacle in life.

Aspire to the divinity within, not allegience to notions  Freedom lies beyond beliefs and convictions.  It is a pathless path, yet is eternally committed to the light within. Do not confuse beliefs or notions with that Inner Light.  Wisdom lies beyond notions but is the guiding light that leads to freedom from the chains of such addictions.  Truth is an abstraction.

Freedom lies beyond limitations imposed upon the mind.

Follow the heart of your being, not the samkaras imposed upon the emotional heart.

Clinging to convictions can overshadow decades of meditation.

 Having to be right all the time to feel good about yourself is the guaranteed path to a life of inner torment and conflict.

Echoes of Truth perceived as Truth hold Truth at bay.

True learning means moving beyond what you know.  It is not just reinforcement of what you already think you know.

 Always be willing to reevaluate.

Do not evaluate yourself or others based upon the biggest mistake you/they ever made. 

Facing an error you may have made is not an annihilation of your self… rather it is an affirmation of it.  Do not allow the surface of your life to define your depth, your self worth.

 “What we do in life echoes in eternity” Russell Crowe in movie Gadiator

Life is a paradox

 “…to believe in the heroic makes heroes.”

Enchantment’s Gift

Blog:

Title:  Enchantment’s Gift

Blurb: A Holiday Message for all People, all Creeds:  Love, Family, Enchantment, and Christmas

What is enchantment.

Why people turn their back to enchantment

world benefits from knowing history of christianity… parallels all religions.

The essential question: What Christ really knew?

“God loves us so much that he gave His only begotten son”:  what that really means

Is ‘faith’ a good thing?

What is a Christian?

On Love, Family, Enchantment, and Christmas

Gnostics and orthodox

Would UFOs or no miracles compromise religion.

rejection of religion is really a crying out for a deeper understanding one that makes sense and one that satisfies the heart and the mind.

 Rejection of the Gnostics, so long ago, resulted in abandonment of an essential part of Christianity

Celebrate diversity

The gift of kindness

Unity in midst of diversity.  vs   polarization via homogenization of perspective

harmony does not mean homogenization.. it mean cultural integrity and distinction in midst of honoring other peoples.

acknowledging distinctions of different subcultures without stirring it into one big culture.

“Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.”

CLARENCE THOMAS

stats contradict somewhat but USA is 70% christian though 45% say it should not be predominantly consider any one religion.  India is 80% hindu.  in USA, hindus and buddhists make up close to same percentage as jewish,

religion is not just spiritual.. it is also cultural… and like culturing a fine wine, it must not be mixed and remixed at will to form can exquisite product.  USA is cultured as christian.

Debated history of Christianity: In one way it matter tremendously.  In a deeper sense, it does not matter at all.

What happened or what people believe or do not believe about him?  well what really matters is the beautiful enchantment it enlivens in the hearts of those that allow it to, regardless of creeds.

Never underestimate the potential of enchantment, of love.  Once embraced,  enchantment heals all levels of life.

Knowing the Heart

blurb:

Confusion, self betrayal, Armageddon

Blog:

My unedited notes:

“…Honestly expressing yourself.  Now it is very difficult to do…” B Lee

the art of self expression

politics in a nutshell: Confusion, self betrayal, Armageddon

self betrayal leads to personal and global armageddons. where the heart leads, does the mind follow?

Eventually does not even know what one really feels/believes

Cannot be honest with another went not honest with one’s self

Taking the time and care needed for self expression is rare .

Not doing so boxes one into a corner

Diplomacy vs self betrayal

lying to ones self

yet few are willing to [capable of] really talk from the heart

so it builds and builds until explodes in irrationality

do ones actions align with ones feelings in ones quiet moments,

future of the free world

            Biden sells oil from strategic oil reserve to China and China turns around and says it to Europe at a profit

            Woke is permutations of hippie drug era which went a long way to making recreational drugs popular with the pharmaceutical companies happily getting on board

            Just consider the volume of drugs consumed annually and ask yourself what percentage of people in your grocery store and on your roads are under the influence not to mention alcohol

            Saudi’s are cutting production to drive the price of gas up right before the midterm elections they want Republicans in there and Trump in there cause they can’t stand Biden

            The great sobering

            Equality guarantees equal opportunity equity guarantees equal results

            ”As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.”     ANDREW CARNEGIE

            ”No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”   HERACLITUS

“Owning Others Feelings/Behaviors/Beliefs”

Ancient Secret art of reflection and the Crucible

This weeks notes unedited:

Ancient Secret art of reflection and the Crucible

‘Boat in water. No water boat.

Owning can occur as collusion or confrontation

Yet when people throw darts it naturally hurts

difficult particularly with family friends coworkers local national and international news

Retire inwardly, not react outwardly

The art of digestion

Two approaches to imperfection:

1] attack verbally

2] pitch in to help improve

The two types of memory one divine  [Smriti] the other the devil

Claire/Outlander:  “and if life is anything akin to God, i suppose that memory must be the devil”

How to [not to] think for yourself,,,

Momentum of mass mentality: everything from US Open to politics , human condition

“It’s no measure of good health, to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”

⁠— J. Krishnamurti

Trying to bury it or push it away it’s just a form of denial… answer: the Light of awareness heals.  The knowing IS the doing. 

Simplistic versions of deep spiritual concepts may just have their value for example to be God-fearing or regarding the notion of Satan ”his greatest strength is that people cannot recognize him even when they see him”

Mount Soma, the Crucible: “It always seems impossible until it’s done” Nelson Mandela

Udana vayu:  prana that carries past life karma with it.  Energy between 4ttth and 6th chakras. . Refined and you can do anything

Current human condition:  Emotionally based twisted convoluted passionate perspectives of one and other.  or is it just a fishbowl that desperately needs to be cleaned?

all knowledge dwells within… just refine the awareness to find it… easier said than done

‘thank god we are not getting all the government we are paying for’  Will Rogers

Tantra and the Gordian Knot: Kitchen Table to Cosmos

As promised, here are this Weeks Thought Fragments

 Todays world: 

Gordian knot….easily solved “by finding an approach to the problem that renders the perceived constraints of the problem moot”

This is a time to endure but not to cower.  Everything will be fine for the world, but this is a time of transition.  if you can just take a step back, that is obvious.

someone responded saying, yes but hasn’t the world always been nutty like this.  i say no, not like this.  moral decay in every arena has become mainstream.  it won’t last long.  time of transition.  the pendulum will soon swing back to a more wholesome world.  just hang in there.

humanity needs to learn how to cultivate a healthy relationship with the internet.  a healthy relationship with hemlock is to not drink the tea…favor the good, avoid the bad.  very simple but yet the lowest common denominator is ruling these days

These days negativity is  the lowest common denominator

But wholesome living is inherent to life, simple. It will rise with Golden Age.  it is a joy to be simple.  negativity pulls at and spirls down, positivity uplifts and refreshes.  simple question: is life pulling you down, or is it uplifting you.  simple choice.  surf the internet or the tv channels and see the direction the world has gone.  but that is not where we will be going for long.

Todays marijuana/THC potency like heroine’ destroying todays youth

Bill Mar: from 1950 to present…  LGBTQ self-identification has gone for less than 1% to over 20% and increasing exponentially.

are they ‘protecting trans’ or turning kids away from straight?

BLM, defund police, promoting trans..  all the same thing really

one saint advised another about the world: “why go out in all that mud”  

many people come for spiritual teaching… clueless but think they ‘get it’

divide and conquer….woke.   lost to narratives

what wearing a cross means to people… alignment with wholesome.  Good/God

Christ = Chitanyaa

Chaitanya =  transcendant

Weaponizing justice…   ww2 hungarian woman said creeps in over time like a thief in the night

guilt by accusation

politicizing justice system

right left-handed tundra law justice  S/supreme court.. Natural Law or biased

Lenin: the worse the better…  see it as birthing pain to transition to their takeover

just like Bolshevik revolution: starve people to get then to overthrow Czar

spiritual escapism is no solution

Logic rationality and clear thinking is irrelevant rather emotion is what carries the day

law, justice, natural law, politics

said it would be easy to find supreme court leaker… so who is it? cover up? A justice involved?

yuga dependent law and justice..  

the caste system is misunderstood

nazi germany and legal system

watch movie: ‘judgment at nuremburg’ to see how it happened

“A man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all the doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false.” ― Benjamin Franklin, A Benjamin Franklin Reader: The Essential Writings of a Colonial Sage

how to unravel a twisted rubber band–very simple

The subtle Art of Conflict Resolution in Our Conflicted World

who started it doesn’t matter

from within a twisted perspective, your viewpoint looks straight

after calming down, it doesn’t matter any more

stay out of weeds in first place:  the art of relationship

once you step in it, it is hard to get it off your shoe

You don’t put out the fire by fanning the flame

Worst thing imaginable used to think others don’t believe you were that you could be wrong but ultimately it does not matter

Left handed tantra is addictive: tearing open 3rd eye, intoxication, indoctrination.  obstacles to spiritual growth.  Explosive results … destructive.  Blurs Vedic understanding

i get it syndrome

fish bowl

Vedic principles do not exist in isolation, they all appear at every point in creation.  universal

we will see a rise in right handed tantra

Moral fabric versus political correctness

Right/left tantra: do u prefer a rapid or gradual solution?  the ultimate distraction.. detonation vs blossoming.

can justify anything with the intellect

twisted.  From within the twist, it seems straight: Evolution is highly elusive.
