The post coronavirus new normal will not seem weird or imposing. It will be a positive step forward for us all. Just like the “don’t be a litter bug” shift that was made decades ago, it will feel like natural, right as rain, common sense. The schools are opening in Europe as research shows that is a very safe move. Hear all the perspectives and facts first, then reflect and ponder, then move forward. So few actually do that. And in the context of this Memorial Day, a vision of the new normal, this new mentality, takes on surprisingly deeper and more meaningful significance. Please know that great days are ahead.

Someone sent this interview of Dr. David Price to me. Finally a front line expert who makes sense? Is this the voice of wise experience, or just another opinion? We all can decide for ourselves. He said that 99% of the time, the virus is transmitted via hands. And if I may say so, I have promoted this approach to basic hygiene for many years, as my students know, and not just regarding this particular virus, but as simple common sense hygiene preventing many contagious diseases… basic microbiology 101. I do not like shaking hands. I do not approve of hugging all sorts of people. Wash hands especially after touching public door knobs, etc. etc. Dr. Price said the exposure must be prolonged and in a closed small room to catch the virus via airborne. I know, I know, this doctor appeared on a TV station that many refuse to watch. But this is about what the doctor said and not about the channel. I would add that for some time doctors have said that people catch colds in winter, not because it is cold outside, but rather because people stay indoors confined to a closed area for a prolonged period of time. What does that say about the stay at home shut down policy? Could that be why states that reverse the restrictions have the incidence of the the virus go down?

Ok, Ok, Yes I agree that knowledge and practice of knowledge such as mantras, japa, meditation, pujas, havens, etc. is of great value in that they refine the physiology, culture the heart, and thereby evolve us. 🧚♀️
But I am talking about intellectual understanding here and, even more importantly, the integration of that knowledge into your behavior. In my podcasts for example, so many listened to the podcasts on paradigm identity, reality continuum, and mapping and some felt confident that they knew all about it. You may have even found the topic boring since you had already heard about it. But then in the podcasts about the enlightened city and coronavirus you do well to ask yourself if you thought and felt along the lines of those principles or just fell back on your old paradigm identity and evaluated everything based upon that identity. For example, was the notion of positive attracts negative just not acceptible by your paradigm identity? How about the notion of mapping an enlightened city onto a nation? Or how about different perspectives on the coronavirus? In my conversations with people, I have seen how few are able to do look beyond their paradigm identity. 👁
Also in daily life in general, how many behave with wisdom and reflection? How many still act instinctively and spontaneously based upon their emotional and psychological programming? In particular when life becomes challenging, how many behave not in accord with their inner wisdom but rather upon the rakshasa value that dwells within—perhaps anger, judgement or even hatred? Suddenly ones true spiritual level comes into question. Yes? 😡
Keep in mind that knowing all about spirituality is a good beginning often mistaken for the goal. If you choose to white knuckle onto your judgements and hostilities, they will, of course, stay with you longer. Expansion of awareness, of consciousness, is no simplistic task. It is the journey of the true hero. There is no way around that. Attacking anything you do not feel one with is not the path to unity. Learn to under-stand and not over-stand. Humility is the flip side of wisdom. I have said all these things before. But every indidvidual does well of take a step back and observe their own behavior. How quickly the peace and love attitude morphs into antifa. 🤯
Please keep in mind that this is Kali Yuga—the age when the rakshasas dwell within the hearts and minds of the people. It is not so hard to believe that about other people. But the most important person to know and work with in that regard is yourself. 😱
We just posted another podcast called Coronavirus: Taking a stand. It would be a good exercise to explore where you go with it in light of what has been said here. You can access that podcast by clicking here. 🙏

I received the following thought provoking comment to my last podcast:
Just some comments. In referring to your friend’s comment, “people are unable to believe the magnitude of the corruption on all levels” rings so true. I had that realization several years ago; albeit on a much lower level than what is being revealed these days. About twenty years ago you spoke of coming into an age where society would become rather chaotic. At the time, it seemed impossible. Impossible in that it was difficult to imagine what life would be like in twenty years and with our culture being run like a machine….and here we are. Fascinating to hear someone spoke of the man with orange hair around that same time. Who would have ever thought this so called “pandemic” would be the trigger that would begin to wake people up.
To which I respond:
Your thoughtful words compel me to reflect upon the past 20 years. I poured my heart out in an attempt to prepare people for what was coming–how to deal with it wisely. And now we find ourselves in the midst of The Great Transition. Yet in spite of my warnings, few are keeping their balance. So now I say again that we will come through these turbulent times into an era of calmer waters, peace, and prosperity. Admittedly as the storm rages, even the best of us find ourselves holding on tightly in hopes of making it through these violent rapids. Steady hand on the rudder!!

Crises such as the coronavirus certainly trigger peoples psychological tendencies. Of course, once triggered, it can be quite challenging to determine the best course of action. The challenge is compounded by so many issues—urgency, lack of sufficient research, politics, greed, bias, fear, knee jerk reactions, etc. The podcast “Coronavirus Revisited” investigates this important topic with a lively and provoking discussion. It is easy to be spiritual and wise when everything is wonderful. But who among us can keep their balance and access their inner wisdom when the stakes are high and emotions are triggered? Explore not only the far reaching aspects of the virus but also of your own personal inner psychodynamic process by clicking here.

She roosted her nest under a ledge on my front porch.
I hope we can become friends.
But she is afraid.
I speak to her softly in a high pitched voice.
Yet she flies away…
How magical it would be if she had her babies on that ledge.
But whatever happens, I understand.
We are who we are…
I pray she and her babies fend well.
Yet I understand that I may never know.
Love is like that…

I learned a tremendous amount about the construction of an “Enlightened City” over the past 20 years. To even begin to describe it all requires some background in Vedic Knowledge. Principles in the Vedic literature must not only be understood but (much more of a challenge) must be embodied before one can begin to fathom the fantastic technology. In the Ancient Secrets Revealed podcast series, we first offer some of those essential principles. Then in episode 5 (coming up some time within the next week or so) those pieces of the puzzle are put together to shed light on the remarkable technology involved. If you have not yet listened to episode 1-4, you can catch up by clicking here. I would also suggest listening to the podcast entitled “Adrishtha Apurva”. I believe the process involved will fascinate, surprise and challenge everyone. What follows is a brief description of the upcoming episode 5.
Ancient Secrets Revealed E5: Mystery of the “Enlightened City”
Once all the ancient secrets are known, why do they remain a secret? Does the ancient technology of an “Enlightened City” offer an explanation? When the Vedic architect says no such city exists anywhere in the world, the obvious question is, “Why?” This episode investigates that remarkable mystery, while holding up a mirror to all humanity.

I was recently asked some beautiful questions to which I responded:
As we purify our physiologies things do come up. But it was once said that we do not need to rummage through the garbage. We just let it go. So no need to dwell too much on the past. Personal process is certainly important, but at some point letting things go is also important.
The quality of the Self is called the Rishi Value. It is good to hear that you are feeling that within you. It is not that we are actually Rishis. Rather the qualities of the depth of our own inner being can be experienced and is called “the Rishi value”. It is not just experiencing a Rishi as “other”, it is more importantly experiencing your own inner divinity. Congratulations for experiencing that! Rest with it. It is beautiful.
The solar event you are referring to is what is referred to as “the Age of Enlightenment”. It has been predicted that now is a transition to that healthy time. I understand that back in the 90’s, Maharishi was on stage with a Jyotishi and said that transition would begin to be felt when a man with orange hair was president of the United States, around 2020 to 2022. I was not there to hear him say this, but I was told about it. It has also been said that the transition happens with a period of roughness in world affairs. Interesting that even in chemistry, phase transitions can occur with a brief period of turbulence.
I am often asked what more one can do to evolve. I always respond by saying, “Steady hand on the rudder”. Yet so few people actually do that. Hang in there. Great times are ahead.

The paradigm with which a person is identified is like a rubberband. With new insights, the paradigm can be stretched, and though the stretching may feel very good, the rubberband-like identity springs right back to where it was. Through the years it has astounded me to witness how adamant people are about their paradigm identities. So many times people have come up to me, after one of my lectures thrilled them, to say they have been looking for those teachings their whole life and that they would never miss another lecture or class. Then they walk out the lecture hall door, snap back into their old paradigm identity, never to be seen again!
Maharishi Patanjali said it so well: The Chit (storehouse of impressions) is as if etched in stone. The resultant paradigm is fixed and inflexible. Yet as one evolves, one becomes more flexible and can align with the paradigm that best serves the moment. To truly embrace the Ancient Secrets of the Masters is to become flexible—to easily embrace other paradigms.
Ancient paradigms involved the principle of mapping in very profound ways. Havans and pPujas are based upon the principle. Ancient technologies apply the principle. Mount Soma is built upon the mapping principle of how a city/community can be constructed in a manner to map onto the country. To heal the country is to build and operate that community.
It has been remarkable to experience how powerful that technology, the mapping, is. To build Mount Soma, we followed the ancient vastu guidelines and anyone at Mount Soma who follows the news can see how powerful that connection is. As Mount Soma flourishes, the country will flourish. This is what the ancients taught and it is what we are in the process of accomplishing.
