Woody Allen once said that 80 percent of success in life is just showing up.
Dear Michael. This is off topic, but I would love to know what you think of NDE experiencers, and pre-birth memories. I’ve listened to several hundreds of these testimonies, and they have several things in common, what disturbs me most is that many of them remember being forced to reincarnate, and also having their memories wiped. I don’t understand how we are supposed to correct mistakes if we can’t remember why we’re here nor our last life here.
imbalance leading to moments of grossly inappropriate behavior… various causes
sleepy weepy… grumpy
we can spin every situation a million different ways and justify each one as “the truth”, “wisdom”, etc. How you ‘feel’ about
each may be “you” or is it your stress/issues/biases projecting? Discernment is a rare and illusive art. Practice

Intuition and gut feeling: just simple innocence. inner continuum, not quantum leaps
Hierarchy, central nervous system, class/race/etc conflicts are national auto immune diseases
People do not feel their power so believe they have no significant influence upon others, so they say harsh things [sometimes the harshest they can think of] to others thinking only then will they be heard. The net effect of such behavior is never in their favor.

Paradox of Liberation
If you spend your life working on self improvement, all you have to show for it at the end of your life is an “improved” self.
Quote of Unknown Origin
paradox of liberation,108 awakenings x infinity, healthy self, personal process, moksha, shastras, relationship with, “undefended” self, behavioral modification
few are willing to face their issues, or even acknowledge their nature, it’s not about getting rid of them. It’s about having a healthy relationship with them.
Denial prolongs the imposition personal issues have upon your life and your behavior yet for most is just too self compromising to acknowledge, let alone embrace them
it takes determination to work with these things. The rewards are huge a healthy relationship with self is called liberation freedom, self actualization it’s not about getting rid of your issues. It’s about bringing the full light of awareness to them and being OK with that.
Greatness is nothing more than a healthy relationship with a sum total of who you are, If you knew the sum total of your life experiences you would know you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Trees are not meant to grow out of the ground like two by fours. It’s the contour, the curves, the hues, the shades, that birth individually, we are all unique.

Life’s deepest meaning palpable, lively and exquisite at our Mount Soma home.
Hanuman Jayanthi and Kumbabishekam
How fitting that today, May 14 is both Hanumans birthday and Mothers day followed by Mount Soma Kumbabishekam May 15-17. Though physics is King of the universe, the personified value, the heart, is His Queen who gives life its meaning. Like all things, even the wind is a complex mechanic of physics. Yet be it a turbulent storm or a gentle breeze upon ones face, the winds deepest meaning is how its movement touches our hearts. That is the Queen of the universe, the personified value… that is what gives it all meaning, just as when we think of another person, it is not the physics of their presence that gives them meaning but rather the personified feeling of their soul. When we think of another, that is what we think of. The Mother, is the heartfelt soul of the universe and all within it. Vedic Knowledge encompasses Knowledge of both the King and His Queen who gives Him meaning.
These past days in preparation for this weeks events has been a busy busy whirlwind for us all here at Mount Soma. As I moved from station to station, touching base with our numerous teams, what was even more lively than the turbulent winds of our hustle and bustle was the heart that carried us: Devotion, the Hanuman value so full. The Root of Devotion is Love carried by the winds of existence, Vayu. Hanuman, pure devotion, the son of the wind, the Kshethra palaka (official guardian) of Mount Soma, caring us all, is so palpable these days at Mount Soma.
Jai Hanumanji!

Inner and Outer Spheres of Influence
“Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.”

I would say of all the liars in the world, the worst are our programmings, particularly the ones we wrongly believe we no longer serve.

“People think what they think and do what they do and there is nothing you can do about it.” Sally Jessy Rafael
so many love spirituality and think they totally believe in it, but when the rubber meets the road, they revert back to old programming. So who or what is really their “God”?
“I am out of here” when things get tough is a common path of the habitual failure.
We favor what is familiar over what is better.
it is a well known fact that the lives of many collapse after winning the lotto. spheres of influence

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
