Jack Hammered in Our Brain’s Circuitry Are the Romantic Involvements We Attract

MODE of Cosmic Therapy: We Gravitate to How We Initially Vibrate

Childhood inner disciplinary dynamics continually play themselves out in our day to day lives, especially where romantic involvements are concerned. We are constantly ‘on guard’ either consciously or unconsciously, gauging our manner of speaking, acting and filtering our thoughts of tenuous strings through the corset of our most intimate relationships. We stand as a caustic regent on the thresh hold of our most pearlized cherished emotions, deprecating ourselves and the other, for not paying homage to them in the correct manner expected. We accept nothing less than the idolized perception of ‘what should be’ as we have jack hammered the illustrious opinions into our brain’s circuitry

‘The perfectly acceptable relationship standard’ is based upon a faulty premise, however. WE approach our relationships with an infiltrated barrier of commanding pre-exiting expectation. The thwarted anticipation saturates the union prior to unification of ideas. We have been somewhat damaged, in some way or another, simply by being on earth and engaging in this calibrated emotional ‘roller coaster’ journey. The carefree spontaneity and joyful playful spirit was haltingly tainted along the way due to no fault except that we previously (cosmically) asked to be able to experience human emotions at the deepest most horrendous level. In other words, we carried over, a specifically spoiled view of ‘how things were supposed to be.’

One does not have to believe in previous lives to ascribe to this ‘carrying accumulated garbage’ theory; the immediate family penetrative archetypal dynamics from this ONE life is proof enough. Of course, the radical idea that, in fact, no one has ever harmed us in any way nor have we been truly cheated, abused, abandoned, neglected, deserted, forsaken, isolated, or neglected to the point of irrefutable destruction is hard to swallow but none the less demonstrably relevant. We may have experienced the pain of these earth emotionally “what’s in it for me” driven experiences but the irresolute injury never occurred. We may have gone though the intolerable incalculable motions of appearing to lose our sense of self worth, esteem and motivation but not without the notary seal of our designated approval. Truth wounds but never destroys.

Circumstances which occurred when we were quite young ineradicably forged a groove in our brain circuitry which cast us on the ‘potter’s wheel’ of derisive firing. But, the friction, ‘bumps and lumps’ were implanted to produce an immaculate creation as a by-product of injurious spinning. In other words, the early environmental circumstances were perfectly prescribed which enabled us to survive, thrive, and dive into a life filled to overflowing relationships bounty. The result of our continued childhood experience being lived every day remains as repeated fresh cow manure used as fertilization.

We gravitate to the people we need to associate with. We vibrate to the person and/or persons who is/are carrying the delineated frequency our electrical brain’s nodules recognize as necessary. It is only by and through the superficial IDEAS attached; in the process of early parental defective interpretation do we experience deflation. Another word would be: bitterness. We have never been betrayed nor have we been deceived. No one has the definitive power to do so. It is absolutely impossible to be cheated in this life. The intricate pieces fall in the perfectly stimulated ridged cosmic design.In all actuality, the memories we reflect upon are no more real than the traumatic or exalted life affirming story we repeat convincingly.

We tell and re-tell these life stories in order to remain vigilant. We can’t possibly let our guard down for one second. “Something might take us unaware.” We create a craft-fully designed world of such grandeur or defeat (one being the same) so that we remain the victim or hero. Either way, we are always ‘looking out for our initial interest and warranted investment’. As long as we continue to deny this ‘untouchable sphere of mind generated reality’, we will prolong the amorphous experience of being suspicious, caustic, paranoid, bitter, resentful, untrusting, scared, unapproachable, desperate, remorseful and quick to judge. While at the same time, we’ll recognize and admit to nothing but the guileless generosity we think we possess and how it is being misrepresented and mal-aligned.

If we continue to believe that someone has cheated us out of something or denied us opportunity or of our rightful place, person or thing, we will continue to communicate poorly and ineffectually. When we feel we deserve more than we are receiving, our minds are cluttered with unending anxiety and despairing emptiness. The overall state of our health [along with our mental functioning faculties: stress, apprehension, insomnia, depression, high blood pressure, nervousness, inability to relax, and on and on and on] will surely suffer. Our relationships won’t even get a bull fighter’s chance since we will be too absorbed in the past to show up for our present involvements. We will be strewn with jealousy, envy, pride, and grievous gluttony.

NO one owes us anything; except that which we decided upon on the prior bargaining table of options. And, moreover we would be highly pissed IF another tried to offer us a ‘way out.’ We don’t want out, we want in: to the sacred sanctuary of our deepest motivations in understanding our relationships as the true mirrors of our undetected perpetrating selves. Why insult ourselves or the other by asking and receiving an unnecessary allowance of advantage in the relationship?

It can not be stated enough: when we place another in an elevated position, it causes him/her to be in an unnatural, awkward and uncomfortable position. No good can come from that surreal place. Elevation is impossible to regulate and maintain. The lofty unnatural arrangement makes it impossible for him/her to be able to communicate. And, when we place ourselves or the other in such an elevated so-called honorable spot, it is then ‘we’ who are the most vulnerable. How dare we be so transparently superfluous! Apt to be chained to flattery, praise and clothed in a ‘false cloak of goodness.’

The unfortunate result is that we both end up competing, comparing, and worst of all ‘performing.’ Beset with all manners of devious vexation; we fume. The conjured creature disguised under a cheap imitation of “who can shine the most” armor; easily will be tarnished, broken and discarded. This cloak of pretended goodness invariably hides any genuine good. Superficiality makes for an uneasy inconvenient and perverted way to interact in any relationship. Intimate interaction can not take place from afar.

In other words, we must bring the all the scraps to the table. No need to use the fine china to impress. Don’t show a polish face; show the mysteriously undisciplined unrevealed blemished face we are at the moment with all of our accumulated debris. Whatever THAT is, let it breathe and dance uninhibitedly. I guarantee the sublime radiance will astound. The enigmatic authenticity of the hour precedes us..Although the throne of romantic deceptive pretense lures; refuse to sit upon it. Be as unpretentiously assertive as is uncomfortable. We’ll get use to it; it’s in our genes.

Modern Psychology

September 1st, 2010

“I am really not only a man of practice whatsoever….
I’m practically nothing but a conquistador by temperament, an adventurer.”

(Sigmund Freud, letter to Fleiss, 1900)

“If you deliver forth that which can be in you, that which you produce forth will be your salvation”.

(The Gospel of Thomas)

“No, our practice is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science are not able to give us we are unable to get elsewhere.”

(Sigmund Freud, “The Long term of an Illusion”)

Harold Bloom called Freud “The central imagination of our age”. That psychoanalysis will not be a scientific concept within a strict, rigorous sense of this word has extended been established. However, most criticisms of Freud’s operate (with the likes of Karl Popper, Adolf Grunbaum, Havelock Ellis, Malcolm Macmillan, and Frederick Crews) pertain to his – long-debunked – scientific pretensions.

Nowadays it’s always widely accepted that psychoanalysis – even though some of its tenets are testable and, certainly, tend to be experimentally tried and invariably discovered to become false or uncorroborated – is really a program of ideas. It will be a cultural construct, along with a (advised) deconstruction of your human thoughts. Despite aspirations for the contrary, psychoanalysis is just not – and in no way have been – a value-neutral physics or dynamics with the psyche.

Freud also stands accused of generalizing his very own perversions and of reinterpreting his patients’ accounts of the memories to fit his preconceived notions of a unconscious. The train of psychoanalysis being a treatment have been castigated like a crude form of brainwashing in just cult-like settings.

Feminists criticize Freud for casting women inside part of “defective” (naturally castrated and inferior) men. Scholars of traditions expose the Victorian and middle-class roots of his theories about suppressed sexuality. Historians deride and decry his stifling authoritarianism and frequent and expedient conceptual reversals.

Freud himself would have attributed countless of these diatribes towards the defense mechanisms of his critics. Projection, resistance, and displacement do seem being playing a prominent role. Psychologists are taunted with the lack of rigor of the profession, by its literary and artistic qualities, through the dearth of empirical support for its assertions and fundaments, from the ambiguity of its terminology and ontology, through the derision of “proper” scientists with the “hard” disciplines, and from the limitations imposed by their experimental subjects (humans). These are precisely the shortcomings that they attribute to psychoanalysis.

Certainly, mental narratives – psychoanalysis 1st and foremost – are not “scientific theories” by any stretch with this much-bandied label. They may be also unlikely to actually become ones. Instead – like myths, religions, and ideologies – they’re organizing principles.

Psychological “theories” do not describe the globe. At ideal, they describe actuality and give it “true”, emotionally-resonant, heuristic and hermeneutic meaning. There’re much less concerned with predictive feats than with “healing” – the restoration of harmony amid persons and interior them.

Therapies – the useful applications of psychological “theories” – are much more worried with functionality, order, type, and ritual than with essence and replicable overall performance. The interaction between individual and therapist is a really microcosm of society, an encapsulation and reification of all other types of social intercourse. Granted, it will be further structured and relies on the entire body of knowledge gleaned from millions of similar encounters. Still, the therapeutic procedure is absolutely nothing a lot more than an insightful and informed dialog whose usefulness is well-attested to.

The two psychological and medical practices are creatures of the instances, children to the civilizations and societies where they were conceived, context-dependent and culture-bound. As this kind of, their validity and longevity are constantly suspect. The two hard-edged experts and thinkers inside the “softer” disciplines are influenced by modern values, mores, occasions, and interpellations.

The difference between “proper” practices of dynamics and psychodynamic theories is that the former asymptotically aspire to an objective “truth” “out there” – although the latter emerge and emanate from a kernel of inner, introspective, truth that’s instantly familiar and may be the bedrock of the speculations. Medical practices – as opposed to psychological “theories” – need to have, hence, to become tried, falsified, and modified because their truth isn’t self-contained.

Still, psychoanalysis was, when elaborated, a Kuhnian paradigm shift. It broke with the past totally and dramatically. It generated an inordinate amount of new, unsolved, issues. It advised new methodological processes for gathering empirical evidence (investigation techniques).

It had been based on observations (however scant and biased).

To put it differently, it absolutely was experimental in nature, not simply theoretical. It offered a framework of reference, a conceptual sphere after only which new suggestions formulated.

That it failed to generate a wealth of testable hypotheses and to account for discoveries in neurology doesn’t detract from its importance. The two relativity hypotheses had been and, currently, string theories are, in exactly the same position in relation to their topic matter, physics.

In 1963, Karl Jaspers created an essential distinction involving the medical activities of Erklaren and Verstehen. Erklaren is about discovering pairs of leads to and results. Verstehen is about grasping connections amongst occasions, occasionally intuitively and non-causally. Psychoanalysis is all about Verstehen, not about Erklaren. It will be a hypothetico-deductive approach for gleaning occasions inside a person’s life and creating insights concerning their connection to his present state of mind and functioning.

So, is psychoanalysis a research, pseudo-science, or sui generis?

Psychoanalysis can be described as field of analyze, not a concept. It is usually replete with neologisms and formalism but, like Quantum Mechanics, it has a variety of incompatible interpretations. It is actually, as a result, equivocal and self-contained (recursive). Psychoanalysis dictates which of its hypotheses are testable and what constitutes its very own falsification. To put it differently, it truly is a meta-theory: a concept about making practices in psychology.

Moreover, psychoanalysis the concept is generally perplexed with psychoanalysis the therapy. Conclusively proving that the therapy works doesn’t create the veridicality, the historicity, and even the usefulness for the conceptual edifice of one’s concept. Furthermore, therapeutic techniques evolve much more swiftly and significantly than the practices that ostensibly yield them. They may be self-modifying “moving targets” – not rigid and replicable processes and rituals.

Another obstacle in attempting to create the scientific value of psychoanalysis is its ambiguity. It really is unclear, for example, what in psychoanalysis qualify as causes – and what as their results.

Look at the essential construct of a unconscious. Is it the cause for – does it bring about – our behavior, conscious thoughts, and feelings? Does it produce them having a “ratio” (explanation)? Or are they mere signs or symptoms of inexorable underlying processes? Even these fundamental questions obtain no “dynamic” or “physical” treatment in classic (Freudian) psychoanalytic concept. So a lot for its pretensions being a medical endeavor.

Psychoanalysis is circumstantial and supported by epistemic accounts, beginning using the master himself. It appeals to one’s common sense and prior encounter. Its statements are of those forms: “given X, Y, and Z reported because of the affected individual – does not it stand to (everyday) cause that the triggered X?” or “We realize that B brings about M, that M is quite comparable to X, and that B is really comparable to some. Is not it reasonable to presume that a causes X?”.

In therapy, the individual later confirms these insights by feeling that they’re “right” and “correct”, that they are epiphanous and revelatory, which they possess retrodictive and predictive powers, and by reporting his reactions towards the therapist-interpreter. This acclamation seals the narrative’s probative worth being a fundamental (not to say primitive) type of explanation which offers a time frame, a coincident pattern, and sets of teleological aims, ideas and values.

Juan Rivera is appropriate that Freud’s statements about infantile life can not be proven, not even with a Gedankenexperimental movie camera, as Robert Vaelder advised. It is usually equally correct that the theory’s etiological statements are epidemiologically untestable, as Grunbaum repeatedly says. But these failures miss the point and aim of psychoanalysis: to offer an coordinating and extensive, non-tendentious, and persuasive narrative of human psychological improvement.

Ought to such a narrative be testable and falsifiable or else discarded (since the Logical Positivists insist)?

Depends if we desire to deal with it as discipline or as an art kind. This could be the circularity you get with the arguments against psychoanalysis. If Freud’s operate is regarded as for being the current equivalent of myth, religion, or literature – it need not be tried to get regarded “true” in your deepest sense in the term. Following all, how a great deal for the research for this 19th century has survived to this day anyhow?

Defending Psychology

Inquiring Into The Whole Nature Of Human Consciousness

August 27th, 2010

The primary challenge that human beings are facing is only one major conundrum: the ignorance about The Psychological Thought Process, a.k.a., the CONSCIOUSNESS OF MANKIND.

The vast destruction that permeates the entire world originates from this psychological entity [Ego]. Every human being comprises this self-destructive fragmentary process. The Ego cannot be completely eliminated by force of any kind; nor can it be vanquished by willpower. The only reason why the bulk of humanity accepts that there is no other way to live except to serve this fragmentary egotistical process (which goes by many names or labels) is because it doesn’t want to know the truth about its root nature. As a matter of fact, our Ego is the result of psychological blindness or ignorance that it purposefully maintains/defends. In a word, Ego doesn’t want to end. And, so long as Ego goes unchecked/unaware of its manner of functioning on a whole, then there will be more of what you hear about on the news and in your communities all around the world. However, there is absolutely nothing preventing human beings from resolving this peculiar conundrum except for themselves. In other words, people desire to be ignorant about their own thought process [a.k.a., the Ego]. Therefore, people are willingly, yet unknowingly, self-destructive victims due to their conditioning, which they defend with their very lives.

For centuries Humanity has been led (by his own thinking) to believe that the only way to live happily is by assuming that we must follow or believe in something or other. But, just what are we following? Belief leads to conflict, always. Conflict is the negation of happiness, isn’t it? The Ego (our psychological thought process) pretends that it has the answers through the conjuring of various beliefs, dogmas, opinions or ideals of some kind. And, that at some future point there will be a Great Reward for adhering to ones beliefs. So that is all in the limited field of TIME. However in the meantime, confusion and sorrow reigns, right? Also one might take note of the fact that this thought process has existed for thousands of years and has yet to make good on its promise of peaceful living. This illusion of bringing about something new, something that is fair or something that will be beneficial for the entire human race is always referenced as ‘the greater good’ or ‘a noble cause’, but always in the future. And, in the name of that pretext human beings proceed to slaughter one another – claiming that, “In the end there shall be salvation”; isn’t that so? Hence, Mankind has been perpetually repeating this, primitive psychological vortex. Ergo, there has been no fundamental change at the root level of Human Consciousness.

When there’s a problem of dealing with material necessities then one must take action. You use thinking to develop skills or business so that you can pay your bills and provide for food, clothing and shelter. When thought is used for physiological survival purposes, then there is no problem. After all, we would parish as a species were it not for our technical ideas that we use to take care of our biological needs through technology and whatnot. Thinking is the accumulation and recall of knowledge. Then that storehouse of knowledge is put to use to resolve material problems. That is the innate function of the Human Mind.

However, that is not where the human race took a wrong turn and became delusional and irrational – NO. ‘Thinking’ used to bring about psychological answers or so-called spiritual answers is where hell on Earth came into being. Psychologically, the problem lies in the way we think. So instead of approaching this process (by positively projecting our beliefs, ideals, opinions or desires) to resolve psychological thinking; how about we take a radically different approach – an approach that is not a ‘positive’ assertion of what we believe the truth is? How about we approach the Whole Nature of psychological thinking through negation [by finding out what is false in order for the Truth to shine through]? In other words by seeing what is illusory about Human Consciousness, as a byproduct, one may discover what is real and is no longer caught in this illusory, restrictive and fragmentary process. If this psychological thinking has repeatedly proven that it causes suffering, fear, frustration and stress, then instead of positively asserting that we know the answer to break free (that has been tried for centuries and has failed), how about we ask the right questions to discover what is false? After all, the truth lies in seeing that a false thing is a false thing, correct? From this point on, let us explore if it is possible to be free of our consciousness/ego by raising fundamentally crucial questions to expose the fallacy of psychological thinking, of which every human being contains.

[*Note: There can be no unbiased investigation into this problem when there is a presence of Authority (i.e., something or someone that is blindly followed without question). That being said, I'm not your Authority. I'm not important. I'm simply a mirror that is reflecting what is actual, not according to my liking, but just the way it is - regardless of my personal desires. Therefore, everything that I say has no meaning at all if you are not interested in inquiring for yourself. If you are interested you will be skeptical and allow these questions to awaken a state of intelligence or wisdom. Otherwise, reading this to debate it is meaningless. So I'll be putting forth vital questions that will penetrate the heart of our conditioning, if you truly want a happy/peaceful life.

May we begin our inquiry by asking, "What has happened to human beings after all of these thousands of years?" Haven't we, as a species, become coarse, brutal, hateful, enslaved by so-called religious beliefs with their various divisions and, thereby, creating enemies? Aren't human beings living in a world of confusion, wars and ultimately self-destruction? Don't we constantly yearn for either an ideal, belief or a person to lead us out of this chaotic mess (by following political leaders, religious leaders or other kinds of leaders who claim they have the solution but that it will always take TIME - isn't that what they all have in common right)? And if you are real honest ask yourself, have these leaders helped Humanity to deeply bring about a radically different way of living without confusion, conflict or fear?

Now in order to understand the Whole Nature of our Consciousness mustn't one ask, "What is it that we are trying to Become?" What is it that each one of us are trying to do or achieve and gain an end? What is it we all want? No matter if one is educated or not; aren't we all striving after control? It is natural to become something in this world. If one does not know how to drive a car, we spend time acquiring knowledge and practice driving. So one is Becoming a driver. If one wishes to be skilled at anything profession it will take time and practice to Become proficient at it. So that distinct kind of Becoming is natural and necessary, of course.

On the other hand, is it natural or inevitable that human beings must Become Something Psychologically? In Becoming Something doesn't it involve TIME (i.e., I was this yesterday but tomorrow I will Become totally different)? One is violent and strives to Become 'non-violent'. Isn't it the premise that by telling oneself that one is NOT violent and believes in that self-assertion then one has Become other than violence? And, even if it were possible to 'achieve' non-violence, wouldn't there be a craving to pursue further 'achievements' of yet other psychological goals? Thus, wouldn't one be trapped in the perpetual pursuit of trying to Become Something and, in the interim, one is never satisfied?

So are we trying to Become More Enlightened? What is it each one of us is trying to 'achieve'? Is this not an important question to ask? We are predisposed to Becoming Something (inwardly), right? Haven't we made the error of thinking that just because we are suppose to Become Something that is on the level of technical skills that we are also suppose to carry over 'achievement' into the Psychological sphere? So what is it deeply that we are trying to 'achieve'? But, IS THERE ANYTHING TO ACHIEVE, PSYCHOLOGICALLY? So whenever we achieve something along the lines of skill or talent, we go on to use that as a mark of status, prestige or social superiority above our fellow man in order to magnify our sense of SELF-IMPORTANCE so that we can dominate others, right? If you're aware of all this within yourself, haven't you also noticed that each 'achievement' is separate from the other? So no matter what you psychologically 'achieve', it will mean nothing when it comes to trying to achieve something else, psychologically. So doesn't that process leave one craving more and more - never quite feeling completely fulfilled, right?

For example let's say, "I am Poor/Uncertain [inwardly] and I want to be Rich/Certain [inwardly]“, right? (Richness consists of Accumulating ‘psychological’ Knowledge.) Does that not mean that one is always struggling to Become What one Projects (based on the principle of REWARD or PUNISHMENT)? Reward is where you come to a point where you can say, “I’ve done it!”, right? Doesn’t PSYCHOLOGICALLY PAIN occur when one isn’t able to achieve the ideal that one has setup for oneself? Does this not constitute Failure?

*[Reminder: the writer isn't offering you any opinions, beliefs or ideals. One is merely examining the entire nature of Human Consciousness. We're journeying into our psychological thought process by just looking at it and seeing it as it is, not as we wish it to be. Just to find out what will happen if we watch this process unfold without any domination. What you discover is all that matters. I'm unimportant. Don't accept anything that I say but instead, test it for yourself. Question your own mind by observing it. You aren't being instructed on 'what' to think but, rather, 'how' to think, and that is a big difference.]

Isn’t the key ingredient to Becoming Something “TIME”? Politicians are always saying that it will take TIME to end war or provide the basic resources for everyone, right? But after all these centuries of Time, hasn’t there always been war and poverty? WHAT IS [PSYCHOLOGICAL] TIME? Isn’t it important to understand the nature of Time? Physical Time is the sunrise and sunset, or the days of the week or the weeks of a month, or morning, noon, evening and night. But, there is also the Time that says, “I am this and I desire to Become that”. Or, society is this and it will take Time to change it. Don’t most people rely upon Hope? Isn’t Hope a form of Time? Things are awful and frightening right now but, in the future, it will be better – one Hopes, right? (That is Time.) The remembrance of past experiences is Time. Isn’t the accumulation of knowledge within the field of Time? Also, knowledge can never be complete; so isn’t it always accompanied with ignorance? Isn’t Cause-and-Effect Time? So isn’t the Human Consciousness conditioned by Time (being repetitive, mechanical, conforming to an ideal)? And, will it take Time to be free of that conditioning? Or, is Time the problem?

Why do we fail to make the connection between this false psychological Becoming resulting in inequality, animosity, aggression and violence? We all say that we want happiness and a peaceful world, yet how quickly we shrink away from investigating and truly understanding our own egotistical self-centered activities. Wouldn’t we rather rationalize everything that we do? Wouldn’t we rather pretend to ourselves that we are moral, kind, loving and peaceful (and all the while we do horrible things in the name of the so-called ‘greater good’)? When we hurt others don’t we try to erase that immoral action away by doing something superficially charitable so that we can still maintain that we are good, decent and compassionate?

Does intelligence or love have a ’cause’? If there is a ’cause’ for intelligence or love then they are limited by Time, as well. If we continue along the lines of Time (which is cause-and-effect) then there can never be a radical change in Consciousness, right? Therefore, ’cause’ will ultimately produce its own effect, which is still conditioning and which also maintains conflict. All Human Consciousness is controlled by conditioning (ceaselessly projecting ideals, dogmas, superstition, propaganda, etc.). Psychologist have said that conditioning can never end. All that one can do is modify it, which means you can’t leave its prison; you can only modify it and perhaps dress it up – but, isn’t that still a prison? We are questioning if our psychological conditioning/programming can be fundamentally changed without using Time. That is the primary challenge of our human existence, isn’t it?

However, wouldn’t there be a radical change in conditioning if one were to “discover” the cause of the Whole Nature of Conditioning? For instance: One feels lonely (this is the cause) and the outcome of that is to isolate oneself further by concentrating on a belief/ideal (this is the effect). The very ending of the cause is the ending of loneliness, right? What is causing us to feel this deep sense of separation from all outward and inward relationship (which is loneliness)? Despite being surrounded by friends and family why does one still feel isolated and cut off – alone? If anyone explains the reason why, it will not be the truth for you. The explanation isn’t the reality, right? For example if see a meal in a commercial, will that image make your hungry stomach full? No, of course not. Similarly, if I tell you the answer to end your conditioning will it end it? No, of course it won’t. So one is faced with finding out for oneself what is the ’cause’ of loneliness? Do you use thought (which is the outcome of knowledge which is limited) to inquire into this question? If you do use thought it can never be complete about anything, right? So thought is always limited. Do you inquire into the question by the exercise of thought? If you use thought to find out, you can only find out the superficial cause because thought is fragmented. Therefore, ‘Thinking’ can never get at the root ’cause’ of conditioning, right?

Is there another instrument to inquire into this complex problem (of psychological thinking)? We are so used to using thought for everything in our daily life that we often assume that there is no other instrument. Isn’t that how human beings have been educated, conditioned (programmed)? But, that instrument is incapable of delving deeply, profoundly into human conditioning due to the fact that it is a fragmentary, limited process, isn’t it? It is very important that one is very clear about this, because if you are not, then you will be condemned to be enslaved by conditioning/confusion for all of your life, which is typically what happens to most people, anyway.

The ’cause’ is that conditioning has brought about uncertainty, hope, isolation/loneliness, confusion and fear. And, the ‘effect’ is that Man has invented an idea called “God”. If thought is not the instrument to inquire with, then what is? This is not my personal question. This question is for anyone in the world who is really serious about totally ending conditioning. Is the “other” instrument, if it exists, the invention of thought? Thought cannot examine the universe and its extraordinary order because thought itself is limited. So the question is: “Is there a way of Observation that is unlimited”? So can one deeply OBSERVE this total sense of loneliness/isolation with all of its destructive consequences?

Where there is loneliness/isolation there must also be various forms of conflict, antagonism, hatred inevitably leading to battle. So what is the instrument, which is not thought or unconsciously invented by thought and say, “Yes, that is it!” Therefore, one must be very, very clear that it is not the activity of remembrance, which is thought.

So we have to go into the question of Observation.

Observation may be the instrument, but we are not asserting that it is. Because an assertion is dogmatic and one may accept it and then there is no meaning. On the other hand, one is objectively investigating, without bias, whether Observation is the instrument to inquire into our conditioning of isolation/loneliness. But we know for an absolute fact that thought is Limited, utterly! Thought is not your thought or my thought – thought is thought and it is Limited under all circumstances, period. If one is clear about that then one can posit the other question. Only when you SEE for yourself the reality that thought is Limited then you are mentally free to inquire, “Is there another instrument that is not put together by thought?” But if you are confused, then you will be playing a [self-deceptive] game. Is that clear?

If we are clear on this point then, “Is there an Observation (without the word, without association or without remembrance of various past experiences)?” Hence, is it possible to Observe without the past? Is it possible to Observe the Whole World as It Is – not through an opinion as an American, British, Russian, Asian, etc. nor through the views of a particular religious sect or a particular race, not as a political activist nor as a terrorist, which are all various forms of conditioning that are all biased as well as Limited, right? Instead, can one simply Observe the whole movement of conditioning? Can one Observe conditioning, which is loneliness, without the accumulated memory of experience? Can one look at the world around oneself as well as within as though for the first time – afresh? Isn’t that what is meant by Observation without the past?

So can you Observe what I am pointing out without being distracted by what the history is about the Author? Are you inwardly free to really Look at yourself as you are? Observation requires Attention, does it not? Observation is not done just to please yourself or to accommodate your past memories – but to Observe every single movement of thought, and that is all. Can one do that? Find out for yourself. Don’t rely on anyone else to discover it for you, because that is impossible. When you listen to a song, can you listen to it without thinking about the name of its composer? Can you simply Listen to the song without any form of association? Is there not great beauty in that listening, as if for the very first time? Similarly, can one Observe our conditioning (whether it be the conditioning of yourself or another) in that fresh state of Observation? This is very important to understand or else one is forever lost.

Is loneliness brought about by self-centered activities? Is it the case that I feel lonely? Or rather, is Loneliness Me? I am Loneliness, right? Loneliness is not over there and I am Looking at it as though it were an entity outside of me. But instead, Observe the fact that I am Loneliness. I cause Loneliness whenever I pursue my own desires to Become Something, psychologically. So hasn’t the outward activity of isolation and the inward activity of loneliness brought this about? The key here is: Can one Observe the ’cause’ without wanting to transform or change or control it? Just Observe it as you would Observe the flow of the ocean. You cannot change the depth of the ocean nor it its magnificent nature. So can you Observe the ’cause’ – the ’cause’ being the whole way of our life, which is a direct result of our thinking? If you can objectively Observe the ’cause’, then that very Observation is the ending of the ’cause’ and therefore the ‘effect’ is Loneliness is completely gone, as well.

So from that shall we inquire together the question of fear (i.e., the fear of public opinion, fear of what others will say about you, fear of being exposed for some wrongdoing one may have done in the past, fear of growing old and eventually dying, fear of not fulfilling ones dreams and the fear of not being loved and fear of not loving). There is fear that one might lose my mate, fear of what my mate thinks of me. Fear of being lonely. Fear of getting hurt so instead you want to hurt another. We carry this hurt all throughout our life. In not wanting to be hurt, we build a psychological wall around ourselves. Then there is the fear of not Becoming that which you desire to Become. Fear is like a vast tree with many branches and chattering leaves. And, isn’t it our conditioning to be forever preoccupied with one form of fear or another? But one of our greatest fears is the fear of tomorrow – will I lose what I desire or will I get what I desire or will I be able to keep what I have gained already? Also, don’t we fear having no significance or importance in life? Don’t we worry that our life might end up having no meaning? But if one is honest does a life based on conditioning have any intrinsic value or meaning? Isn’t a conditioned life smothered in strife and conflict – never being content with what one is? Aren’t we always seeking the so-called ‘better’ and never quite reaching a point to being at peace with ourselves? So fear has multiple forms/expressions, doesn’t it?

Fear is not your fear or my fear – it’s fear! You may translate fear in one way and I may have another way of expressing it but, basically, it is fear, nonetheless. And if one is sane one understands that fear must end. Not ending fear by tearing off the branches or the leaves of the various expressions of fear, but instead find out in reality what is the root ’cause’ of all fear, psychologically? There was a time when people did not know what was causing the disease known as Scurvy Then it was discovered that Scurvy was caused due to a lack of vitamin C. So the discovery of the cause put an end to both the cause-and-effect (of Scurvy). So once you discover for yourself what causes fear, doesn’t fear end?

Now, we are concerned with inquiring into what is the ’cause’ of fear, which is common to all Mankind? This is important to discover for oneself. Human beings have lived with fear for thousands of years; and he has escaped from it – distanced himself from it, rationalized or justified it, but he has not resolved the cause of fear. But fear remains at the core of our Consciousness (whether it is at the conscious level or hidden deep down in the unconscious layers). So let us discover what is the ’cause’ of it. If YOU discover it, then hold it and Observe its entire nature as if it were a precious jewel.

This leads us into the question of what is Intelligence? Surely, it isn’t the product of thought, which is fragmented, limited to cause-and-effect. Regardless of your economic status or the level of your education, the nature of Becoming is the same process for everyone – so it is neither yours nor mine. Thought can never have that extraordinary capacity of Intelligence. Intelligence has NO ’cause’; just like Love has NO ’cause’. Can you see that where there is ’cause’ there can be NO Intelligence/Love? Therefore, Intelligence is inquiring into the Whole nature of fear through the act of impartial Observation.

So we come back to asking, “What is the ’cause’ of fear?” Is it thought? Is it Time? Is it Desire – Desiring to be free from fear? So are we looking at the ’cause’ with Intelligence? Or, are we trying to make an effort to Look/Observe (because you want to be free from fear or you want to be happy, etc., etc.). If one is making an effort to Observe then that is a ’cause’ and so there is no Intelligence, instead there is only fear. So, Desire, Time and Thought; they are not separate – they are interrelated. Therefore, they are one. So, is that the ’cause’? Desire, Time and Thought is one unitary movement that is ‘causing’ fear. For example, “I am not free of fear right now, but I will be eventually.” That is based upon desire-time-thought which is one unitary movement which is producing fear, isn’t it? There is the fear of being dead. One is not dead but one will be dead. So there is this an interval between living and the end, which is time right? Effort has a ’cause’, fear has a ’cause’. However, Intelligence or Love has NO ’cause’. Although Desire, Time and Thought may appear to be different they are within the same field of psychological ’cause’ movement. This whole movement of fragmentation, contradiction, conflict and fear is defensive.

*[Reminder: You are using your ability to Observe for yourself the truth about what we are exploring together. Please don't accept anything that I say. It is up to you to go into this. Be aware of your conditioning as it reacts to what is being said here. Watch it and learn. Do you detect fear urging you to either reject or accept all of this? Do you sense your reluctance to just Observe?]

Now, you have discovered for yourself the ’cause’ of fear, right? So what is your action, or non-action? And, upon discovering the ’cause’ of fear aren’t we conditioned/programmed to automatically think that we must take action to change what we have discovered? So what action does one take? One either tries to erase it, forget it, analyze it, tear it to pieces; “I must ACT!” Once discovering the ’cause’ of fear one is compelled to feel that it is unbearable so one must get rid of it or somehow go beyond it, transmute it or do something about it. But who is going to do something about it? Surely, Desire, Time and Thought is YOU/ME, isn’t it? Isn’t it apparent that YOU ARE Fear? You might try to separate yourself from that; but, you are that, nonetheless. If you are perpetually seeking illusion/ideals, then you are fear and you are the enemy of Mankind. If you are nationalistic, bound to a certain religion/certain dogma, seeking an illusion of freedom then that is fear and you are that.

What happens when one actually realizes and sees the fact that I am fear? I’m not separate from fear. Is the mind then fresh whenever it perceives the reality about itself without struggling to change that reality according to what one prefers? Therefore, the ’cause’ of fear is myself, isn’t it? So hasn’t our inquiry revealed that the ’cause’ of fear is Desire, Time and Thought, which is the entire composition of my consciousness? The content of your consciousness is the common content of the Consciousness of all Humanity. So our inquiry into the entire nature of fear isn’t a selfish activity. One isn’t just concerned with being free from fear but, it is the ending of the whole structure of human fear (of which I am a part); do you understand? So when we Observe fear we are considering the Whole Nature of Human Fear. But if you are looking at it as though it were your personal fear, then you have to examine why you think it is your personal fear. Then you will find out that if you think it is your personal fear then that is limited or fragmented. If you like to live that way that is your business – no one is going to force you. That is what humanity has done; living in separate compartments fighting and destroying each other.

So this observation has led you to this investigation, which is a very careful examination into the nature of fear. Can the mind, which is accustomed to escape into beliefs, ideals or opinions; which is conditioned to rationalize; which is molded to escape into some other form of entertainment; can that mind break the pattern through Observation without any movement of its past conditioning? This requires your application. Then when you so Observe; that is, when you give complete, total attention to the ’cause’ (not because one wants to escape) – when there is complete attention of the ’cause’ what happens? That very Light of Attention dispels the ’cause’. And, so there is a total ending of fear.

Don’t ask, “How about occasionally if it comes up again?” Can this ending be perpetual? That state in which you realized the nature of fear when I point it out one has captured it for a second. Then one wants to know; “Can that second continue?” Isn’t that Desire asking that question, which is Time and Thought? So you are back in a circle again. You see our mind is so used to continuity. I have had happiness so it must go on for the rest of my life. So, Observe without any movement of thought. Give complete, total energy and attention to Observe the jewel that one has caught – the jewel being the ’cause’ (of the nature of fear). Where there is a ’cause’ there is also an ‘effect’ so in motiveless Observation, the ’cause’ ends, as well as its ‘effect’. So you have to see the whole movement of Consciousness, not just its fragmentary movement which you are pursuing. Now that we’ve discovered the false you are free from all conditioning.

Although I am a student who has undertaken a special journey that a man named, J. Krishnamurti has invited the entire human race to investigate, I am NOT a disciple/follower of his. Everything that I write is from my own impartial observations about human consciousness. I have no degree in psychology. None of that is necessary to free oneself of ones psychological conditioning/programming. We are all capable of examining our mind as it reacts in our daily life. Since just about everyone is programmed, it’s almost impossible for anyone to understand what it means to observe ones conditioning, because whatever you find out, you are programmed to use your thinking to change it. And, all thinking will only reinforce conditioning, which is fear.

If you would like to understand why the world is drowning in confusion, then you may explore/inquire into this matter at its very root, if you intend to end this destructive process (which dwells within all human beings). Here is a place that can assist you in your journey: http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/ Please note that this is NOT something to believe in nor is it possible to see the truth through this teacher’s eyes. If you do not find out the truth, then nothing you see or hear will create a real change in human consciousness. This is not like a subject in school that you memorize. This is about impartial, objective OBSERVATION of the Entire Nature of Psychological Becoming, if unchecked, will destroy Mankind. However, most of the human race is engaged in that endeavor and think that anyone who is not is crazy. Be aware that this isn’t something that you are used to dealing with. I live what I write about, this is not a product of thought/theory.

What Do Dreams Mean? The Meaning of Most Dream Symbols

August 26th, 2010

Many people ask me to give them quick translations because they don’t have time or patience to study the dream language.

I had to simplify the complicated method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung, which was too time consuming.

In order to translate thousands of dreams for many desperate people who had many other problems besides the psychological ones, I had to find a way to very quickly translate not only a single dream but an entire dream collection.

I continued Jung’s research discovering the anti-conscience, which is our wild conscience. The anti-conscience evokes mental illnesses within our human psyche. Once I learned about this sinister force and how it works, I could easily understand the meaning of all dreams.

The main purpose of the wise unconscious mind that produces our dreams is to protect our mental health from the attacks from the anti-conscience. This is something that Jung couldn’t see as clearly as I could. For him many things were immersed in darkness and were totally incomprehensible.

He accepted his ignorance, recognizing the necessity to stop researching the unknown content of the human psyche. He believed that we could learn the rest only after our death.

However, I had indications from the unconscious mind that I had to continue his research and this is why I could see the primitive side of the human conscience.

Today you can have this knowledge. I will teach you everything I know so that you may be protected. You have to take dream interpretation seriously for your own safety.

The superior unconscious protection cannot be compared to the false protection that ignorant human beings may try to give you. The unconscious mind shows you in dream messages everything that is threatening your mental health and your life.

So, you already know that the general meaning of all your dreams is to protect the human side of your conscience from the anti-conscience’s attacks. The anti-conscience wants to destroy your human side and control your behavior. In order to stay healthy you must transform the anti-conscience into a positive component of your human side.

Through dream messages the unconscious mind helps you fight against the anti-conscience and tame it. You, the human being, must control your behavior.

Now you know also that all dreams help you learn how to control your behavior.

This is why the meaning of most dream symbols is related to various dangers that threaten your human conscience.

Here is a list with the most common dream symbols that indicate danger:

Bees – You are being dominated by anger

Blood – Painful experiences and mental illnesses are awaiting you

Cat – You are being stupid

Demon – An evil person in your life

Elephant – You must show heroism

Falling – You’ll have big deceptions

Flying – You are far from reality

Ghost – A neurosis is threatening you

Snake – Bad experiences are awaiting you

Spider – Great danger ahead if you don’t act fast

Of course, you need more explanations about the meaning of each dream symbol in order to really understand its importance. You have also to learn what to do in order to get out of a dangerous situation and protect your mental health.

Study the dream language with my dynamic method. You’ll soon be able to understand the meaning of everyone’s dreams the same way you’ll understand the meaning of your own dreams. Dream language is universal. You will not only help yourself but you will help the world.

Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung’s research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

The Belief Based on the Assumption of Truth

August 25th, 2010

An example of a belief based on the assumption of truth would be when the Conquistadors first invaded South America. The indigenous people took one look at them and assumed that they were horse-men. In other words, the the Spanish and their horses were a single entity.

The reason was that the people of the region had never seen a horse before, so naturally enough they jumped to the conclusion that they were looking upon a single creature.

Another example would be the AIDS virus. When this first hit in the early ’80s, the belief was that you could catch the disease simply by touching someone who was suffering from it. The British police used to wear surgical gloves during rallies put on by HIV infected people. Their fear was that if they had to arrest anyone, then without the gloves, they lay themselves open to the infection.

When you think about it, beliefs are a pretty good imitation of knowledge. Naturally enough, the stronger the belief, the more likely it is in our minds to be true. Most especially with a strong belief, we’re unlikely, or in some cases unwilling, to wait until we have the full story.

In the first months of the AIDS virus making its appearance, virtually nothing was known about it. What was known was that it was a death warrant and so if I had the virus, then I’d be avoided literally like the plague. The belief that by touching someone has now been proved wrong since all the information is known, and true knowledge has been attained.

But originally, AIDS was considered in the same way as scabies, which can be passed from one person to another by skin contact.

Beliefs, then, are formed by incomplete knowledge, by jumping to conclusions. We’ve seen this all the way down through history. People thinking they could cure themselves by drinking copious amounts of mercury, for instance. Far from curing themselves, they were killing themselves.

The old business of ‘bleeding’ a patient, in the belief that in so doing, all the bad and poisoned blood would be taken from them and they’d recover.

During the terrible plague of the 14th. century, people turned to the church for relief and a cure from the agonies they suffered. This proved an exercise in futility.

The primitive person who’s never seen an aeroplane before, will automatically assume it to be a great bird that makes a fearsome noise. Can they really be expected to jump to any other conclusion?

Even today, when some scientists scoff at the idea of parallel universes, others say that such worlds may be possible. So here we see beliefs, but virtually no knowledge with which to back these ideas.

So we see that beliefs without conclusive proof are just that. Beliefs

Here’s another belief for you. Old Mike Bond thinks he’s a genius. Problem is, there’s absolutely no proof to the rumour! One thing that is absolutely true is that he has a marvellous Website which we invite to to visit by clicking on The Hypnosis Attraction. Oh, and don’t forget your FREE downloads!

Fear of Death – Deterioration of Vital Force

August 24th, 2010

If the balance of vital force remains stable all classes and sub classes of life will work desirably. The body thus will experience good health, mind will be happy and the psyche will ooze with good intentions and contentment. Yet if in that arena distortions manifest the result is hardships and strife of all kinds. When blood turns bad skin diseases, boils etc manifest. In the same way when imbalance appears in vital force the functioning of bodily organs goes haywire. Many types of illnesses and diseases are then noted. Vital force distortion in the mental arena results in imbalances and madness too. Vital force distortion in the emotional arena leads to a downfall akin to that of ghosts etc. Many basis of downfall can be correlated to distortion in vital force or Prana. If we wish to overcome these ordinary means are of no use because the influence is very weak. Whereas the root of the problem is very deep and that is distortion of vital force. When tested and proven methods fail we must realize that in the deep recesses of consciousness distortions have entered. If a thorn pierces our skin it can be removed using our nails but if a bullet pierces our stomach without surgery one cannot remain alive.

Ms J C Trust chose such a person who would get agitated even while facing minor matters. Because that person got angry many times in the day became very thin as a result. Even minor changes in heat and cold seasons would make him weak and thin. In fact he was attacked by some illness or another.

Once when he was very angry Ms Trust made him lie down and placed a thin layer of sand on his naked body. Many of her students, followers and scientists too were present. They very curiously saw that just as when a plate of copper filled with water is tapped rhythmically so that the vibrating water of the plate induces vibrations in the atoms of the copper similarly man’s body too emits light atoms constantly which generates vibrations.

At the time of wrath and anger these atoms of light with great speed vibrate hence it is experienced clearly that time but under normal circumstances the vibration of these light atoms is slow. The more a person is calm, cool, balanced intellect etc the more slowly these light atoms appear from the subtle body. And for a long time energy, heat and endurance remains in the body. Even sudden changes in weather cannot pressurize such a body.

For quite some time life scientists knew that nerves of the body akin to a net send bodily messages to the brain. In order to render the state of the brain better they give necessary directions and based on that various parts function accordingly. But what exactly is the method to do so? A veil was cast on this mystery. On what basis do these nerves send experiences of touch in a flash of a second to the brain? This mystery was not unfolded.

For the past 40 years a lot of research was conducted on this. In fact in the past 20 years more interest was shown in this aspect of life science. At last efforts reaped rich dividends and 3 scientists tasted success. For this discovery they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine. Their names are: 1. Hodgkin 2. Huxley 3. Eckles

These 3 great scientists discovered an electric impulse in nerves and described how this electricity runs between nerves and the brain cells. They compared this to a telephone conversation. Nerves are verily like electric wires which send messages with the help of electrical impulses. Each nerve can be of the length of many feet. Together in the entire body its length is more than 0.1 million miles. Its diameter is less than a hundredth of an inch.

In our brain there are 1 billion neurons. Each one of these contacts 25 thousand other neurons. On seeing how in such a tiny brain such a great factory has been constructed we will be simply spell bound at the greatness of its creator. If man so desires to build such a well designed brain he/she on the availability of present day electric gadgets will require an area equivalent to the entire world.

The electric impulses of nerves move at a speed of 300 feet per second. Over here a very pertinent question arises: Why is it that the speed of human electricity is so less? According to telephone arrangements pure electricity runs as the speed of 186,282 miles per second. The answer is that telephones have pure electricity whereas in nerves not only is there an electrical flow but that other bio-chemical activities too take place.

The nerve impulse is passed on to the neighboring nerve via a space between them called synapse. These nerve impulse obstructions are called inhibitions. Within the nerve fibers one finds positive electricity and outside it is negative electricity. The balance of sodium and potassium in it maintains a chemical balance. Related to this functioning is a chemical called ‘transmission substance’. It is the combined activity of electric particles and chemical substances helps in the circulatory/transport functioning of the body. It is because of the unfolding of this mystery that scientists commenced the use of oscilograph/isotope techniques. There is so much data available regarding the factual nature and activities of electrical impulses that flow in nerves that one can feel satisfied by saying that the doubt has been cleared.

Doubtlessly man is a living powerhouse of electricity. In comparison to electricity at which lights bulbs etc this human electricity is infinite times more taintless and sensitive. This difference must remain between energy of inert matter and consciousness. Inert electricity has no connection with emotions. It makes no difference between a butcher and a true saint. Instead who ever can derive work from it, can fulfill its mode of usage will fulfill its excitement. It lacks sensitivity of what is right and what is not.

Consciousness and sensitivity are both present in the widespread electricity of the human body. Hence we cannot limit it by merely saying that it is just created and is widespread as a nerve network. Let it be that it controls the entire body via the medium of nerves, let it be that it appears as though its visible center is the brain, but the reality is that it is the image of vital force of the soul/Atman and is influenced by its sensitive state. If man’s inner nature is weak or potent correspondingly the conscious electricity too is weak or potent.

If we touch someone’s body it is not as though we get a shock because of the presence of human body electricity. Hence via gross technical apparatus it can neither be felt nor experienced. If we wish to understand its material nature those apparatus will be required which were used with reference to this by the Nobel Laureate Hodgkin. But via an emotional touch its influence can be felt by other people too. If we sit in the vicinity of a person who has a high stature psyche our mind too will imbibe this high stature. If we associate with vile and wicked people our mind, intellect and sense organs will imbibe bad qualities. In fact without any rhyme or reason our minds will act in a tainted manner. The reason why spiritual literature urges us to associate with sacred hearted people is not only imbibing good teachings but that we can fully imbibe the sacred flow of the energy of electricity emitted by their divine bodies.

Why do we touch the sacred feet of great saints? The answer is that by doing so we imbibe the sacred energy of divinely radiant people. One of the major laws of heat is that heat from more heated areas run towards areas with very less heat. If a hot stick of iron touches a cold one then heat from the former enters the latter ad makes it hot too. They exchange their heat/cold. The same benefits accrue by touching hallowed feet of great divine personages. Thus bodily touch is a very important medium for the passing of benefits from more powerful regions to less potent ones.

When great Gurus out of divine love pat the head of others, touch their backs etc it seems as though it is merely a show of affection but actually what happens is that vital electricity is transmitted. In this manner adults give grace to those younger than them.

Sparrows keep their eggs under their chest before going to sleep. Over here not only heat is transmitted but that traditional actions too are commenced. The bodily electricity of sparrows by entering their eggs/babies, conjoin the latter to paternal psychic imprints. Although by giving heat from incubators the egg is transformed into baby birds yet a lack is seen in them as far as imprints are concerned. There are babies who get attention from nurses but do not get their own mother’s milk, affection, playing in the lap or sleeping near her. Such children get tainted mentally over a period of time. Potent electricity nourishes those whose inner potential is weak.

Aspirants (Sadhaks) during the period of spiritual practices or Sadhana do not allow anyone to touch their feet. They never give blessings in the form of touching others’ scalp. If they do so whatever little divine energy they have gathered gets transmitted to others and they become spiritually poor.

Although the cause behind celibacy, loyalty to wife/husband is social and family based yet there are spiritual reasons attached to them too. Bodily electrical onrush is predominantly found in eyes, speech and fingers of hand and from there they are ‘exported’ outside. Subtly in the head and grossly in the genitals this electricity predominates. Electricity of the head is mainly utilized in studying, reflecting, meditation and other mental processes but genital electricity is all the time urging to go outside via touch. This then is the scientific basis of sexual passion.

Great saints lay emphasis on Brahmacharya or sexual continence because for a few seconds of sexual joy one tends to lose a great amount of vital electricity. The weak aspect may gain but the potent aspect is at a great loss. During penance one comes across many obstacles. One of them is a major one wherein human or divine sexual principle tries to gain benefits from the medium of sexual organs. In the lives of Vishwamitra, Parasher, Vyas etc one finds that sexual passion caused a temporary downfall in their austerities. In images of Lord Buddha one finds depictions of many Apsaras (heavenly damsels) as Ridhi-Sidhis dancing and mockingly laughing aloud. Behind this verily is the above mentioned reason. Husband wife full of high stature soul electricity can sire children of corresponding high stature. After performing intense penance along with Rukmini, Lord Krishna sired only one son named Pradyumna. He was exactly like Krishna as far as looks, character etc was concerned. People failed to decipher who really was Lord Krishna. Children sired by penance oriented Rishis and their consorts are as brilliant and radiant as their parents.

Great men instead of wasting this gathered vital electricity in sexual passion utilize the same for world welfare by raising this electricity up to the brain center and this they remain Brahmacharis or celibates. The same holds true for women too. In order to become radiant and mentally potent they focus their inner energy via Brahmacharya.

Bodily electricity not only brings well being to oneself but others too. The question is of apt usage and capability too. This electricity is used up a lot by the body and mind and lies scattered here and there. Ere it is focused and concentrated and is utilized for bodily, mental and soul advancement then in every area apt advancement can be noted. Electricity generated by power stations/houses can be said to be aptly utilized only if it is used for wholesome purposes. Ordinarily the storehouse of bodily electricity is used up in day to day mundane tasks and the rest scatters away. If on the basis of the science of spiritual practices we learn to utilize it wholesomely and understand application of the same for good purposes man can aspire for all round advancement with this spiritual wealth. Thus he can lead a life of success.

Prana Spiritual Practice of Yoga Science is a very important one. Benefits like Sidhis of Anima, Laghima etc accrue. We have already spoken of how ones spiritual aura becomes divinely radiant. In this direction Pranayama Yoga breathing exercise) is the first step. Over here weak tainted vital force is eradicated and in its place the Super Vital Force is reinstated. Routine activities like Sandhya Vandana are looked upon as its most required basis because via such preliminary acts one can march ahead so as to ultimately get imbued with Super Prana.

The Vital Force Principle is the mouth source of all mundane and spiritual wealth. It is spread out just about everywhere. The more one imbibes it within oneself the more one marches ahead to become great. Vital Force is synonymous with energy. Within its periphery lie both material and divine attainments.

From the bodily standpoint one becomes radiant, from the mental standpoint one becomes brilliant, from the social standpoint one becomes famous/great and from the soul standpoint one becomes full of spiritual luster. This 4 fold potential emanates from its root which is Vital Force Energy or Prana Shakti. Only via Prana based spiritual practice can lead you to these Sidhis or Divine Powers.

Brainwashing, and How People Are Led by Wrongheaded Beliefs

August 23rd, 2010

There’s no question that it’s difficult not to grant a personal belief to something, especially when it’s new. We saw this with AIDS. But there’s equally no question that it’s far better to wait until you have all the information under your belt before coming to a decision.

We form beliefs about people in exactly the same way. Let’s say we meet someone for the first time, we shake hands, but they don’t seem particularly interested in us at all. They seem distracted. They’ve shaken hands, but our presence really seems to mean nothing to them.

“Funny bloke,” we think. “Why did he even bother?”

What we don’t know is that he’s just come off the phone, having been told that his wife’s just died of cancer. He’s been expecting it, of course, but it still hits him like a jack hammer. We made no attempt to hold off on our judgment of the person until more information was forthcoming. This is human nature.

Emotion and Brainwashing

The successful and intentional formation of a belief is caused by exciting the emotions. It’s true, therefore, that your beliefs have a lot more to do with your emotional state than with your intelligence. To excite, to whip up, the emotions of a number of people is brainwashing, at least in it’s basic form.

This was how the Chinese treated the American POWs during the Korean war. The point was that these poor chaps were lectured day after day on the subject of Communism and when they weren’t being lectured, loud speakers extolled the considered virtues of their captors’ beliefs incessantly.

You can’t possibly brainwash a person through calm and reasoned argument. Why? Because you give him or her a chance to use their intelligence with their own counter-arguments.

You can see this emotional escalation in films of Hitler’s rallies. There’s no doubt that he was a master orator. I heard it said one time that his public relations team and their abilities were fifty years ahead of their time, and who can possibly doubt it?

We saw it, too, after the tragic death of Princess Diana. The emotional pitch rose to a sea of hysteria, and the beliefs thus formed were taken out on the Royal Family. That they were an unfeeling, uncaring coterie of wooden-hearted snobs.

Very few people allowed reason to reign and understand the actions of the Queen regarding her grandchildren, trying to shield them from the horror of what had happened. Now, when you look back on those days, governed by silly, screaming, unthinking people, what in the world was Her Majesty to do? She took care of her immediate family, especially the children, as any grandmother would do.

So it may easily be seen how thoughtless, wrongheaded beliefs can rule the day.

What a tragic thing it is to pillory someone when you only have half the story. We do suggest a trip to Mike Bond’s Website where you’ll find so much to look at and study.. and all of it the truth! Simply click on The Hypnosis Attraction for your FREE downloads.

Do You Know What A Psychopath Is?

August 22nd, 2010

Do you know what a psychopath is? Ever met one? Worse still, have you ever been a psychopath’s victim? Actually, I hate to say it, but the answer to the last two questions may well be ‘yes,’ although you probably wouldn’t realize it.

The research scientists tell us that one person out of a hundred is afflicted with the condition, and it breaks down evenly between men and women.

What image springs into your mind when you think of the word ‘psychopath?’ A figure in a cloak, laughing maniacally as he bears down on you with a huge, blood-soaked knife?

That man you and your spouse met last night at the party. Your spouse mentioned what dead, humourless eyes he had. Well, even deadeye Dick doesn’t fit the bill, I’m afraid, and certainly not the knife wielder.

Naturally enough, they’re Hollywood’s favourite bad chaps and chapesses! The problem with Hollywood, well one of them, anyway, is that they regularly confuse the psychopath with the psychotic.

Probably the most famous, or infamous, mad bad man of all time was Norman Bates in ‘Psycho.’ I wouldn’t mind betting that if you asked a dozen people on the street what he was, everyone would say he was a raving psychopath. Wrong! In fact, he was your garden variety delusional psychotic.

This splendidly dramatic business of ‘hearing voices’ telling him or her to kill someone, or seeing skeletal visions of the long dead telling you to do the same thing, makes for great storytelling, but the chances are that they’re symptoms of a psychotic illness like schizophrenia.

This latter condition, by the way, is another Hollywood blunder that makes for a good storyline. They will insist that because the baddy has a split personality, he’s schizophrenic. It has nothing whatever to do with schizophrenia.

A more accurate depiction of a psychopath would be ‘The Jackal’ in the film ‘Day of the Jackal.’ I believe another excellent example would be Tom Ripley in ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley.’

In real life, while many criminals are psychopaths, most psychopaths aren’t criminals, but they are amoral. The vast majority aren’t murderers, but they’re not the type to seek out as your best friend. They’re bad, but not mad.

So, do you know what a psychopath is? Have you been nursing one to your bosom? To begin with, they’re usually extremely bright, far too bright to end up in prison. They’re not easy to spot, either. You’d have to know one really well and have considerable insight yourself before recognizing the fact that Fred, that charming chap you’ve known for three years, is a psychopath.

They can be charming and delightful company, but they only do what they choose to do. It’s their way or the highway!

Thought I might write something to frighten the life out of you! Mike Bond again, this time on the subject of psychopaths. Seriously, though, it’s a very interesting psychological study and you’ll find lots more of interest if you look in on my site. Really. It’s well worth the trouble.

A Beginner’s Guide to Analyzing Dreams

August 20th, 2010

The actual meanings of dreams are unquestionably exclusive and unique, simply because of the individuals who dream them. No single interpretation, regardless how universal, is likely to cover each and every dream, dream symbol or dream scenario. Any time you’re scrutinizing or interpreting your dream, it will always be crucial that you observe the details associated with the dreams, your emotions inside the dream world, as well as, everything that is currently happening in your life.

Should you choose to translate your own dreams, either strictly for entertainment or to practice personal and spiritual advancement, there are a few guidelines that will assist you in making the most from your dream realm.

1. When you wake up, quickly replay your dream experience in your mind. You must complete this straightaway, ideally even before you open up your eyes. The dream world falls apart rapidly, and approximately 50% of it usually disappears within a minuscule five minutes. As soon as ten minutes has elapsed, greater than 90% of the dream’s subject matter can be lost. Replaying the dream in your mind will allow you to recall an increased amount of the exciting specifics.

2. Promptly jot down an account of the dream, concentrating on crucial items, symbols and / or emotions. Write several words and phrases regarding every different key factor within the dream, before they are forgotten, and then come back later on and fill in your gaps. Just as before, you will need to write the dream down as fast as possible. Keeping a journal by the bed ıs going to be a great benefit.

3. Pick a peaceful spot in your house to start the interpretation process. Removing yourself from sources of distraction will be essential. The area you select needs to be as silent and tranquil as attainable. In the event that no such space exists, examine your notes one final time, complete each and every detail you are able to remember, and revisit them later on.

4. Apply your own intuition when you review your dream notes in an attempt to better understand your dream. It’s possible you’ll already understand on an instinctual level precisely what your dreams are attempting to tell you. Connecting with your intuition can assist you in getting in touch with your unconscious mind. Should you wish to meditate, a brief relaxation period can be a great benefit. Connecting with your inner self is consistently helpful in regards to interpreting and analyzing dreams.

5. When you evaluate your dream journal, pay particular attention to the feelings they awaken in you. Paying close attention to your mental status, both presently and throughout the dream, can guide you to determine what your dream truly meant.

6. Try to remember any dramatic aspects, scenarios, places, feelings or signs that help to make your dream noteworthy. Open your heart along with your mind and cautiously investigate the likely significance of each symbolic representation, situation and episode. It’s often useful to write down your thoughts inside your dream journal or notebook. While you look for meaning, do not restrict yourself to apparent interpretations. For example, dreaming of a forgotten scheduled appointment may merely suggest you might be concerned about being late for your job, however that missed appointment may also signify a sense of a missed opportunity within your life.

7. Creating an internal dialog with the individuals or even items you dreamed about is frequently effective too. This kind of inner dialog is particularly beneficial whenever you are attempting to figure out the reason why you dreamed about a particular person. Consider asking them in your mind “why am I thinking about you?”, “what have you been doing inside my dream?”. Additionally, it is valuable to understand that individuals in our dreams tend to be representations of elements of our own personality rather than literal people.

8. When you are having difficulty with an interpretation, it may be beneficial to put down your dream notebook and revisit it at a later date. It might additionally be useful to explore the dream with other people, or even seek advice from an authority on dream interpretation.

It will take time and patience when starting out but if you stick with it, you might uncover some interesting things about yourself. It’s these surprise ‘Easter eggs’ that show up in your life that can make it fun and interesting.

Analyzing dreams and dream interpretation is a highly sought after art, and science is continuing to focus on dream interpretation as a way to deal with all kinds of anxieties and other underlying psychological issues.

Confessions of a Full-Blown Introvert

August 19th, 2010

It’s something I’ve always known. It’s the thing I’ve always struggled with. They told me for years that if I wanted to be normal I had to be more of an extrovert. But no matter what I tried I still found that I needed my time alone to recharge.

Was this something I needed to have fixed by a medical professional? Is it a curse that I was born with or was it merely a matter of choice that my environment conditioned me to make? These are tough questions to answer and I thought that by delving in to find the solution I’d be able to change myself.

But it didn’t work.

I’ve spent a lot of time lately trying to find out why I act the way I do. If you’re an extrovert, you could think I had become obsessed if you knew how much time and energy I’ve invested in this pursuit. But as I’ve come to know myself better, I’ve found that to do otherwise would be abnormal for me.

For as long as I can remember I’ve been introspective. There is no time when my brain isn’t “on,” churning ideas and concepts every direction I can conceive of. I was always happy to be by myself as a kid. Solitude didn’t bother me at all. But still there were times when my friends who were more socially oriented and had more friends made me question whether my introversion was something to be celebrated.

I can remember those summers when I would tell myself that “next year will be different.” The problem is that I had no inkling of how it would be different, just that because I wanted it to be so, it would.

But, of course, year after year, I was known as the “quiet one.” The extroverts thought I was weird but were nice enough to notice that when I did say something it was worth hearing. And that was because I had put a ton of thought into it before it escaped my lips. Everything I said was a work of art, a masterpiece of planning!

As I’ve come to know myself, I’m discovering that I am not so abnormal. I like to think, be alone, read, learn, and investigate things. When I am with people, I prefer small groups to hordes and I choose my conversations carefully. I didn’t have too many at church today but the few I did have were not short. I like to invest in people, get to know them, make them feel welcome, and maybe be to them what most people aren’t. I can’t do this with everybody. But for those who will engage, I can spend an hour getting to know the details of their lives. And because I’ve spent the time, I find it easier to remember them the next time I see them.

To me that is a strength.

Introverts may be a minority in our culture. Extroverts are seen as living the right way, the only way. But can you imagine a world where everyone is motivated by action without deep thinking? I’m not saying that everyone should be this way. If introverts ruled the world, procrastination would be the order of the day sometimes. We need some to think deeply, and some to spur us on to act. It’s a balance designed by God to make what needs to happen occur in the best time frame possible.

And I’m perfectly okay with that. Consider the field of politics. You have the elected officials, who are most likely the extroverts. They get out there and communicate, act, and lead. But there is a quiet leadership behind the scenes that investigates, thinks through, and helps shape the policies that these leaders propose. That’s where the introverts come in. Without the quiet leadership to balance the need for action, our world would be a lot less efficient.

So introversion has value as much as extroversion does.

I’ve also discovered that the way you think is something that will most likely never change. So why fight the way you function? If you’re an introvert like me, you need your time alone to recharge and reflect. You may enjoy people some of the time as I do. But you need that quiet time to think and process the details of your life. When you live out of sync with who you are, stress sets in. Your health will suffer because you’ll feel off-balance all the time. It’s no fun. I’ve tried it. I don’t like it. It’s like looking at your weakness and saying, “I think I’ll develop this.” No matter how hard you work, you’ll never rise above just average.

And that can really be depressing.

So, if you’re reading this and you’re an introvert, celebrate who you are by doing what you do best. If you’re an extrovert and have stumbled across this page, I hope it will help you understand us better. And don’t be offended if we can only take you in small doses – that’s just the way we are. No offense to you or your way of life is intended.

So be yourself and you’ll be free to be your best.
