I have spoken and written so many times about the state of world affairs and warned of the economic and social challenges ahead. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have begun to write still another blog on the subject only to delete it. The truth is, you have heard it from me many times before. You will take heed or you will not. The choice is yours.
So one last time, Mount Soma is being created to be a bastion of harmony, security, and coherence. Not only will it radiate like a quantum mechanical transmitter of peace to the world, but needless to say to its residents even more so.
This will be so on many levels – both sublime and pragmatic. Do not think your money alone will protect you from the times ahead. It is now clear, to even the most pragmatic and non-spiritual, that a time of great transition is upon our world… economically, socially, and politically.
The decisions you make for your life are yours alone. You are well aware of my opinion.

I was asked to blog on the following topics:
- Helplessness
- Cultivating Passion in constricted environments
- Compatibility in any / all relationships
Can you see the underlying common denominator to this list? Can you ‘connect the dots’? Why would one person ask about these three things? Are they separate issues… unrelated topics? No, they are not.
The points/questions all relate back to the same one thing. Fatigue. However, this is not the type of fatigue created by a lack of sleep over a number of years. A hundred years of sleep would not alleviate this sort of fatigue. A deeper rest is needed. That rest comes from deep meditation and a healthy lifestyle. One aspect of that lifestyle would be a healthy internal environment with respect to how you think… how you relate to your own thoughts and emotions.
We all have infinite energy within us. You can use it to build a healthy life. You can also use it to tear yourself apart. To tear yourself apart is, needless to say, self abusive and exhausting. If that is your habit, then you look out at the world and say it is abusive and exhausting. As is the inside, so the outside is perceived.
So I say again… what is needed here is deep rest. That is attained through proper meditation and a healthy (internal and external) lifestyle.

Life is far more abstract and complex than most realize. The principle of mapping permeates everything. In reflexology the foot maps on to the rest of the body – the big toe is the head, the heel is the pelvis, etc. In a graph, a value of x maps on to a value of y. Mappings are everywhere and become profoundly complex. In Vedic technology of the Unified Field, objects in a puja or homa (Vedic ceremonies) map on to operators deep within the mechanics of existence.
The human psyche innately knows such principles exist, even though modern scientific thought has only comprehended the most superficial and simplistic mappings. Superstitions emerge when people reach for such mappings but do not have the clarity of mind and soul necessary to fathom such mappings. Imagine a life when these mappings are spontaneously understood and honored.
Today, most sane people judge themselves and others harshly for their affinity for such mappings, calling it superstition. You may even consider yourself or others a bit crazy for having that affinity. Please understand that the affinity is not crazy. It is only that more clarity is required. Such clarity comes through evolution.
Meditation and discernment are your most powerful tools. I have taught you how to meditate. My blogs, classes, etc. help you to cultivate discernment. Most consider learning to be the accumulation of facts and techniques. Few understand that true learning is the cultivation of discernment. Through discernment, you fathom the depth of life and existence. You come to perceive the profound mechanics underlying life and existence.
The world is not as you have been lead to believe.

“The cunning man steals a horse, the wise man lets him alone.” – Benjamin Franklin
These days, most strive to be clever. Who outsmarts others? Who insists on hearing a different drum a-drummin’? Who shrewdly functions outside the box? Who defiantly paints outside the lines?
That sort of street mentality may get you a horse, but it won’t get you a happy and fulfilling life. Prosperity is far more than money. Deep inside, we all long for God. The cunning just don’t understand what they long for. The wise do.
Strive for the highest. The hare may get speedy results, but as in the old children’s story, the tortoise wins the race. Use what energy you have to attain true happiness. Leave the street behind.

Recently I was asked if it is not good to listen to music, watch television, movies, due to imposition on the awareness if your wanting to evolve, i.e. wanting to refine your nervous system.
To which I respond:
If you do everything that you should do to evolve exactly right, you don’t end up enlightened, you end up insane. Obsessing over the right food at every meal, the right exercise every day, do the right this, avoid the wrong that – it will drive you crazy! There are mantras for everything… before you sleep, when you awake, before you eat, when you rest, even when you go to the bathroom – you can’t do them all.
So what to do? You do your very best, but be easy with it. Pay attention to how you feel after you eat a particular food or watch a particular type of movie. Lean in the direction of what you feel is right. Crude influences culture crudeness in the physiology. But easy does it. Pushing, pushing, pushing yourself is a crude influence in and of itself. Specifically regarding music and TV, the same principle applies. A research study was done with different types of music played to crops of corn. Rock music had a negative influence and the corn grew more poorly than with no music. Classical music did well. Gandharva Veda ragas scored the best.
Some dogs are such ‘great mothers’ that they clean and nibble the pups feet and tails to the point of damaging them. Do not do that to yourself! Evolution is a culturing process. The environment and feeling level is critical. Be kind to yourself. At the same time, a lackadaisical approach yields lackadaisical results. It is a matter of balance.
The truth is, how your psyche functions determines how you hold that balance… how you tip the scales. This goes right back to cultivating discernment with the foundation being proper meditation. That is what purifies the physiology and psyche. So meditate and do your best to discern. Know that nature is on your side.
All water finds it way back to the ocean.
