Opening Thoughts: The Supreme Court, Ancient Egypts Right and Left Hands
Insight vs. Projection, Celestial vs. Astral, Free Will vs. Predetermination
I will respond to the following two comments:
Hello Michaelji,
I’ve been thinking about the afterlife a lot in the past couple of years, since I’m getting older and the body is beginning to fall apart. It just seems to do that, no matter how clean or wholistic a life you’ve led. Now I wish I’d had more ice cream. Question is, do we have any control where we go after we leave the body? Many NDE’ers go directly to the void and bypass the astral altogether. To me that seems to be the better option, I don’t quite trust the astral characters. Also wondering what you think of people who practice out of body trips on purpose, not near death experiences? Sounds a bit risky to me. Thank you, I really enjoyed this podcast.
Hello Michael,
Is it alright if I ask you a question? I have been having experiences where I can see how I am projecting onto people and things. I realized the other day in traffic as I looked at a McDonald’s that I had even been projecting onto how I had always seen McDonald’s. It was like a light film of my own perception that had nothing to do with the franchise. I wrote about it in a blog. But since I have put it down in words, I have had a pit in my stomach. The pit is a feeling that nothing I feel is real. So every time I feel something, I don’t know if it is real. I am now questioning everything I feel. I know it is about relationship with, but it goes into my belief that what I feel is not valid. I know I need to figure this out on my own, and I know other people don’t have my conditioning around what they feel. But how do you move forward when nothing makes sense?
Thank you! Great Podcasts
It doesn’t matter and it matters a lot… when the anchor is strong, one feels deeper without the ship toppling

Opening Thoughts: climate change, the mid ’70s and now, modern physics fiasco and the upcoming re-alignment, here we address delicate issues so the exploration is yours.
the key to integrated awareness… culturing the awareness
Everything maps onto everything else. It is all right there in ‘how to play the piano’
what they don’t tell you about liberation
body of mud, body of crystal
As in music: what key are you playing in?
What is in harmony with nature and how to find it
you are unique, and there is mother nature
your truth or your ‘stuff’/issues
healthy relationship with learning to ride a bike
field theory and the key of the music
the formula and the dance on the scale
Culturing your groove.
modern times expanded sphere of influence.
can we play in all keys? In other words: Who are you?
boat in the water, no water in the boat.
Cultured/Developed vs Narrow minded
What is freedom?
What are roots?
The Inner Grandmother: What is the deeper meaning of:
A saint was asked: “My mother does not know about healthy food. What should I eat?
He answered: “Ask your grandmother”
Hint: It is not about food, or your grandmother.
A great saint made a comment about a well-known spiritual figure:
“He is a young avatar… Stay away from him”
Liberation is the easy part, but you can start working on the hard part now.
This all relates to:
How to find your passion.
How to find your friends.
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. “
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
The deeper meaning of the following quote:
“As for myself, I met with as much success as I ever could have wanted.
In other words, I was enthusiastically run-down by every critic of the period.”
Claude Monet

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.

current ‘language’ of modern physics is too awkward
always an incarnation of Vishnu around… duality requires two poles to spin around
10 avatars of Vishnu
Imbalance is a vacuum
is life really bliss? or is it really suffering?
Body of glass or of mud?
UFOs AND THE VEDA
golden age just around the corner now… 2025
sustained commitment to attain real and lasting changes
“The Millionaire Next Door”
too much pressure from every angle… internet, friends, news, tv….
“who’ll stop the rain?” it is in the Veda but who is listening?
Should the US supreme court intervene if justice system/judges politicized?
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.

Dharana of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras… effortless focus…
Pashya… ‘see’, but what/who really sees?
is there really such a thing a subtle sight?
tired minds: lackadaisical minds give lackadaisical results
There’s always a ‘new kid in town’, drugs and torn open ‘third eyes’
Depths of the human psyche… Bats, Flying Monkeys, and the Wizard of Oz
Somebody should write the book ‘How to manipulate mass mentality’… a plethora of modern and historical references to choose from… covers spectrum from world history to local and interpersonal history

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!
