With all the debate about gun control going on, have you considered the topic from the perspective of Vedic knowledge? What should be done? Outlaw guns? Tighten regulations? Stricter penalties for violations?
Imagine the world to be a pot of water. A fire burns beneath it. It inevitably boils over. To prevent it from boiling over, would it make sense to attack the bubbles? Laws against bubbles would have no net effect. Take away the guns and they will use knives or bombs. Doesn’t it make more sense to turn down the fire? With all the fire, the bubbles are inevitable.
That is easy enough in the case of a boiling pot of water: just turn down the heat. Though it has eluded the world, the solution to a world boiling over with the fire of anger, fear, and hatred is just as simple: Create coherence… build Unified Field generators. Cool off the planet. That will solve the problem of real global warming.
That is the only and the simple solution.
This does not mean that we should not have laws. It does mean that the laws will not be effective as long as the heat is on ‘high.’

I remember…
It was over 30 years ago when I first learned the Siddhis. While deep within the transcendent a feeling of solidity, far beyond the solidity I had felt through meditative transcending, overtook me. It permeated my body. I remember trying to describe the feeling… “I feel like a walnut… solid, fixed, strong, established.”
The transcendent is solid but unstructured… infinite, but without edge… all pervasive. This feeling was very different… infinitely integrated… as if all pieces of the infinite puzzle of life fit together into a solid integrated field of Oneness. Yet no piece was dissolved or lost. The integration was so complete that ‘other’ and ‘all one’ created a state of oneness in unity. This is integration… wholeness… Holiness.
It is not an attitude. It is not about choosing to be strong. It can not be adhered to via behavioral modification. It is not superficial… not a personality trait. It is not forceful, aggressive, macho or controlling. All of those things are superficial… of the personality. It is rooted in the deepest level of existence, where Oneness births multiplicity. From that level it wells up to permeate the entire physiology… body and mind, heart and soul. It certainly has little if anything to do with what society portrays as strong. It is a state of physiology.
It is the ‘Iron Ball.’

Every individual has a unique temperament. Some are naturally soft and easy, like marshmallows. Some are often hard and harsh. As you evolve, you naturally rest into your own true nature. The range of possibilities is far greater than people typically allow for themselves and others. Life is not about turning yourself in to something you are not. I start with this only to make it clear that it is not the topic of this blog.
I would like to discuss a gear that, regardless of your unique nature you must be able to shift into if you want to get things accomplished in life. It need not be harsh or abrasive, yet I liken it to being like an iron ball. I use that phrase because it was used by the Bhrigu Nadi. Some may prefer to call it being “bright and alert”… or perhaps “sharp as a tack”.
When you are on a task, you must be able to stay focused. I believe it was Thomas Edison that said genius is the ability to stay focus on one task for an extended period of time. This is one aspect of being like an iron ball. Too many are unable to do that and instead float through life sort of like a marshmallow.
Another aspect of the iron ball is to ‘see the job and do the job.’ Many put off the task, even a simple one, for day after day, even week after week. To be an iron ball, you must get done today what you can get done today.
Still another aspect is to ‘run a tight ship.’ One example is, when you are dealing with a personal contact, keep records. Take down their name and phone number and file it in a manner that is accessible when you need it. How many times have I seen people be like a marshmallow in that regard?! When they need the person’s phone number or contact information, it has floated off into the ethereal blue, inaccessible… irretrievable.
Many feel that to conceptualize is the challenge and to actualize is just dealing with the inane details. Let’s be clear… mere conceptualizers are fantasizers. Actualization is where your genius lies.
I leave it to you to reflect upon other aspects of the iron ball. Please do not allow any issues that the notion may trigger within you to cloud your vision of this profoundly important topic. Iron balls can be gentle and kind as a soft summer breeze.
These things may seem simple and obvious enough, but they are what separate the doers from the dreamers… the iron balls from the marshmallows.

My family and I have been moving into our new house at Mount Soma so please excuse that I have not written a blog for a little while.
Also, I have become aware that I have not been receiving all the emails I have been sent. We expect to get back on track soon. Thanks for your patience.

When radar showed the incoming attack to Pearl Harbor, the directive came back:
“Don’t worry about it.”
What you think, you become.
Do take care, for the following words reveal your destiny:
“Watch your thoughts for they become words.
Watch your words for they become actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits.
Watch your habits for they become your character.
And watch your character for it becomes your destiny.
What we think, we become.
My father always said that… and I think I am fine.”
