What the Mayan Elders are Saying about 2012--by Carlos Barrios

Carlos Barrios, Mayan elder and Ajq'ij (is a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide) of the Eagle Clan. Carlos initiated an investigation into the different Mayan calendars circulating. Carlos along with his brother Gerardo studied with many teachers and interviewed nearly 600 traditional Mayan elders to widen their scope of knowledge.

Carlos found out quickly there were several conflicting interpretations of Mayan hieroglyphs, petroglyphs, Sacred Books of 'Chilam Balam' and various ancient text. Carlos found some strong words for those who may have contributed to the confusion:

Carlos Barrios: "Anthropologists visit the temple sites and read the inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. It's just their imagination. Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed."

"We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of transition. As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth Changes."

He continues: "Humanity will continue, but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human. We are living in the most important era of the Mayan calendars and prophecies. All the prophecies of the world, all the traditions are converging now. There is no time for games. The spiritual ideal of this era is action."

Carlos tells us: "The indigenous have the calendars and know how to accurately interpret it -- not others. The Mayan Calendars comprehension of time, seasons, and cycles has proven itself to be vast and sophisticated. The Maya understand 17 different calendars such as the Tzolk'in or Cholq'ij, some of them charting time accurately over a span of more than ten million years.

"All was predicted by the mathematical cycles of the Mayan calendars. -- It will change --everything will change. Mayan Day-keepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun. It will be the start of a new era resulting from and signified by the solar meridian crossing the galactic equator and the Earth aligning itself with the center of the galaxy."

At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. This cosmic cross is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life, a tree remembered in all the world's spiritual traditions.

Some observers say this alignment with the heart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the Earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration. Carlos reminds us: "This process has already begun. Change is accelerating now and it will continue to accelerate.

If the people of the Earth can get to this 2012 date in good shape without having destroyed too much of the Earth, we will rise to a new, higher level. But to get there we must transform enormously powerful forces that seek to block the way."

The date specified in the calendar Winter Solstice in the year 2012 does not mark the end of the world. Many outside people writing about the Mayan calendar sensationalize this date, but they do not know. The ones who know are the indigenous elders who are entrusted with keeping the tradition.

Carlos tells us: "The economy now is a fiction. The first five-year stretch of transition from August 1987 to August 1992 was the beginning of the destruction of the material world. We have progressed ten years deeper into the transition phase by now, and many of the so-called sources of financial stability are in fact hollow. The banks are weak. This is a delicate moment for them. They could crash globally, if we don't pay attention. Now, people are paying attention."

The North and South Poles are both breaking up. The level of the water in the oceans is going to rise. But at the same time land in the ocean, especially near Cuba, is also going to rise. Carlos tells a story about the most recent Mayan New Year ceremonies in Guatemala. He said that one respected Mam elder, who lives all year in a solitary mountain cave, journeyed to Chichicastenango to speak with the people at the ceremony. The elder delivered a simple, direct message. He called for human beings to come together in support of life and light.

"Right now each person and group is going his or her own way. The elder of the mountains said there is hope if the people of the light can come together and unite in some way. We live in a world of polarity -- day and night, man and woman, positive and negative. Light and darkness need each other. They are a balance."
"Just now the dark side is very strong, and very clear about what they want. They have their vision and their priorities clearly held, and also their hierarchy. They are working in many ways so that we will be unable to connect with the spiral Fifth World in 2012."

"On the light side everyone thinks they are the most important, that their own understandings, or their group's understandings, are the key. There's a diversity of cultures and opinions, so there is competition, diffusion, and no single focus."

Carlos believes the dark side works to block unity through denial and materialism. It also works to destroy those who are working with the light to get the Earth to a higher level. They like the energy of the old, declining Fourth World, the materialism. They do not want it to change. They do not want unity. They want to stay at this level, and are afraid of the next level.

The dark power of the declining Fourth World cannot be destroyed or overpowered. It's too strong and clear for that, and that is the wrong strategy. The dark can only be transformed when confronted with simplicity and open-heartedness. This is what leads to unity, a key concept for the World of the Fifth Sun.

Carlos said the emerging era of the Fifth Sun will call attention to a much-overlooked element. Whereas the four traditional elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water have dominated various epochs in the past, there will be a fifth element to reckon with in the time of the Fifth Sun --- that element is 'ETHER'.

The dictionary defines Ether as a "hypothetical substance supposed to occupy all space, postulated to account for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through space." Perhaps it could be defined as the "space between space". I would suggest it could be manifest as the alignment of charged particles from our solar system (Sun), and our galaxy (Milky Way) surge. The Ether element represents spiritual energy.

"The element of the Fifth Sun is celestial. Within the context of Ether there can be a joining of the polarities. No more darkness or light in the people, but an uplifted unity. But right now the realm of darkness is not interested in this. They are organized to block it. They seek to unbalance the Earth and its environment so we will be unready for the alignment in 2012."

"We need to work together for peace, and balance with the other side. We need to take care of the Earth that feeds and shelters us. We need to put our entire mind and heart into pursuing unity and unity now, to confront the other side and preserve life."
"We are disturbed -- we can't play anymore. Our planet can be renewed or ravaged. Now is the time to awaken and take action. Everyone is needed. You are not here for no reason. Everyone who is here now has an important purpose. This is a hard but a special time. We have the opportunity for growth, but we must be ready for this moment in history."

Carlos says: "The prophesied changes are going to happen, but our attitude and actions determine how harsh or mild they are. We need to act, to make changes, and to elect people to represent us who understand and who will take political action to respect the Earth."

"Meditation and spiritual practice are good, but also action. It's very important to be clear about who you are, and also about your relation to the Earth. Develop yourself according to your own tradition and the call of your heart. But remember to respect differences, and strive for unity. Eat wisely --- a lot of food is corrupt in either subtle or gross ways. Pay attention to what you are taking into your body. Learn to preserve food, and to conserve energy. Learn some good breathing techniques, so you have mastery of your breath. Be clear. Follow a tradition with great roots. It is not important what tradition, your heart will tell you, but it must have great roots."

"We live in a world of energy. An important task at this time is to learn to sense or see the energy of everyone and everything -- people, plants, animals. This becomes increasingly important as we draw close to the World of the Fifth Sun, for it is associated with the element 'ether' -- the realm where energy lives and weaves. Go to the sacred places of the Earth to pray for peace, and have respect for the Earth which gives us our food, clothing, and shelter. We need to reactivate the energy of these sacred places. That is our work."

"One simple but effective prayer technique is to light white or baby-blue colored candles. Think of a moment in peace. Speak your intention to the flame and send the light of it on to the leaders who have the power to make war or peace."
Carlos reminds us this is a crucially important moment for humanity and for Earth. Each person is important.

He said the elders have opened the doors so that other races can come to the Mayan world to receive the tradition. "The Maya have long appreciated and respected that there are other colors, other races, and other spiritual systems. They know that the destiny of the Mayan world is related to the destiny of the whole world."

"The greatest wisdom is in simplicity. Love, respect, tolerance, sharing, gratitude, forgiveness. It's not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It's encoded in your DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from the beginning. Find your heart, and you will find your way."

What the Mayan Elders are Saying About 2012

The Triple-Filter Test

Author Unknown

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge
in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great
philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about
your friend?"

"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before you talk to
me about my friend, it might be good idea to take a moment
and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it
the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have
you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me
is true?"

"Well, no," the man said, "actually I just heard about it
and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don’t really know if
it’s true or not. Now, let’s try the second filter, the
filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about
my friend something good?"

"Umm, no, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something
bad about my friend, but you’re not certain it’s true. You
may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter
left—the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me
about my friend going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is
neither true, nor good, nor even useful, why tell it to me
at all?"

"What we Teach our Children", by Pablo Picasso

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment
that will never be again.
And what do we teach our children?
We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital
of France.
When will we also teach them what they are?
We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are?
You are a marvel.
You are unique.
In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child
like you.
Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.
You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven.
You have the capacity for anything.
Yes, you are a marvel.
And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a
marvel?
You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its
children.

~Pablo Picasso

How Can a CoRe Session Help Me?

CoRe stands for “Coincidence Recognition and Evaluation”. What is this? Core is at hear a computer generated random number generator. It throws out millions of numbers that come to make a pattern.
Think of the random numbers as the screen and the patterns that are made, as the picture!The human body is made up of millions if not billions of individual cells. It is that first cell that is fertilised by the male sperm that goes onto to make a human being. These cells are all made of DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA lives in the nucleus of every cell of all living things. This long line polymer strings all these cells together to make the body. It is the connection factor which allows the body to act as a whole and not merely as a series of parts. It coordinates the self.Step out into the road as a bus is coming around the corner, the brain sees the danger and all the billions
of cells act as one as you jump out of the way to safety.DNA is the connection medium that makes this possible.

Karl Pirbram was he first person to talk about the holographic nature of the body and the universe.The Hawaiians have been telling us for aeons that we are all one. There is no out there because we are connected to everything that goes on outside of ourselves. This resonates with Pribram’s work which first appeared in the 1940s and 50s. He pointed out the interconnectedness as the cells connect to the outside world, which he claimed would all be one if we were deprived of sight and the other senses.

As DNA connects it broadcasts an electromagnetic signal. It is a photon signal, travelling of course at the speed of light. The signal creates a resonance wave pattern which can be measured in Herz. It seems we all send out an energetic pattern that functions like the bow wave of a ship. It goes in front of us and it has been measured by the Russian military. Their equipment could detect this signal 50 miles away from the test subject! It is perfectly possible the signal is infinite but humans have not as yet been able to produce equipment sensitive enough to measure the wave at greater distance.

The signal creates a resonant picture on the background screen of random numbers. In a CoRe reading nothing is significant unless it is repeated. A reading will involve on average 15 scans. Items for consideration are only considered if they keep repeating themselves. It is this symptom picture which is worked on.

What is the purpose of CoRe? Core is deigned as a “healer”. It helps identify and then possibly remove damage in the resonance field. A physically healthy organ like the liver will resonate at the correct frequency with high amplitude. However, when that liver is exposed to toxins like herbicides and pesticides or even alcohol the frequency will decrease because of dissonance. As a result the physical body becomes less robust. However, a CoRe healing does not work only on the physical level. We are all made up of “mind, body and spirit” and it is important to address all three.Healing is not simply doling out pills, with the possible exception of homeopathy which appears to work holistically. Emotions also play an important role here. The liver is the seat of the emotions. Louise Hay in her wonderful book “You Can heal Your Life”, is quick to point out possible causes of emotional dissonance that works at a physical level. In a CoRe session we consider all dissonance to be “dis-ease”. This “dis-ease” always has something to teach us. It shows we need to make life changes and CoRe helps map out what these changes should be!Core is an excellent example of of a tool for informational medicine.

A Core session generally lasts on average for 2 hours and indicates areas that need healing because they are repeated in each subsequent scan. In a session the areas are identified and then “healing processes” applied. Some of these can be completed in the session and some not.Usually homeopathic remedies are indicated. These can be purchased or made up by the inbuilt remedy maker. Emotional issues can be cleared using swift acting techniques like EFT or EMDR and the system can broadcast radionic healings as well as the Rife and Clarke frequencies. However, change is usually required in diet nutrition and lifestyle and this as well as spiritual connection is something that client has to take responsibility for himself/herself. CoRe is not a quick fix,but it can be a life changing experience.

CoRe is an ideal starting point for those undertaking a serious detox. It identifies areas that need attention which can then be addressed during the program. It is useful for those who are experiencing “dis-ease” of any kind as it will come up with a regime for healing. It is ideal for those who are stuck in their lives, because it aids in identifying the patterns that are creating the “stuckness”. Many people are adepts of the law of attraction, particularly after the recent movie “The Secret”. Sadly this law does not work for everybody because nobody explained that you need to clear the resonant blocks that stand between you and what you want. You can visualise and recite affirmations until the cows come home, but unless the blocks are dissolved it will all be futile. In essence the Core identifies when we need to make changes and helps design what those changes should be. It is a very powerful tool which everybody could benefit from.

Osho on Resistance.

IF YOU ARE POSITIVE, THEN NOTHING IS NEGATIVE FOR YOU. If you are negative, then everything will be negative for you.

YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL THAT EXISTS AROUND YOU, you are the creator of your own world. And we are not living in one world, remember. There are as many worlds as there are minds. Each mind is living in its own world; it creates the world.

So if everything looks negative and everything looks destructive and everything looks inimical, against you, it is because you do not have the positive center in you... IF YOU FEEL NEGATIVITY ALL AROUND YOU, it simply shows you are negative within. The world is just a mirror, and you are reflected in it.

I WAS STAYING IN A REST HOUSE, in a village rest house. It was a very poor village, but the village was filled with many dogs. They all gathered in the night around the rest house. It may have been their usual habit. The rest house was a good place -- big trees, shadow, and they might have been resting there every night. So I was staying there, and one minister of a particular state was staying there. The minister became very much disturbed because the dogs were barking, creating much nuisance. Half the night passed and the minister couldn't sleep, so he came to me.
He said, "Are you asleep?" I was fast asleep, so he came near me, made me wake up and asked me, "PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU COULD FALL INTO SLEEP AMID SUCH NOISES ALL AROUND. At least twenty to thirty dogs are there, and they are fighting and barking and doing everything that dogs ordinarily do. So what to do? I cannot sleep, it will be difficult for me. The next day I have to go again on a tour. I will leave early in the morning. Sleep doesn't seem to come, and I have tried all the methods I have learned and heard about -- chanting mantra, praying to God, etc. I have done everything, but nothing happens, so what to do now?"
So I told him, "THOSE DOGS ARE NOT GATHERED HERE FOR YOU OR TO DISTURB YOU. They are not even aware that a minister is staying here; they do not read newspapers. They are completely ignorant; they are not here purposefully. They are not concerned with you. They are doing their work. Why you are getting disturbed?"
So he said, "Why I should not? How not to? With so much barking, how can I go into sleep?"
So I told him. "Do not fight with the barking. You are fighting: that is the problem -- not the noise. The noise is not disturbing you; YOU ARE DISTURBING YOURSELF BECAUSE OF THE NOISE. You are against the noise, so you have a condition. You are saying, 'If the dogs stop barking, then I will sleep.' The dogs won't listen to you. You have a condition. You feel that if the condition is fulfilled, then you can sleep. This condition is disturbing you. Accept the dogs! Do not make a condition that 'If they stop barking then I will sleep.' Just accept.
"Dogs are there and they are barking: DO NOT RESIST; DO NOT FIGHT; do not try to forget those noises. Accept them and listen to them: they are beautiful. The night is so silent, and they are barking so vitally. Just listen. This will be the mantra -- the right mantra: just listen to them."
So he said, "Okay! I do not believe that this will help, but as there is nothing else to do, I will try." HE FELL ASLEEP, AND DOGS WERE STILL BARKING. In the morning he said, "This is miraculous. I accepted them; I withdrew my condition. I listened. Those dogs became very musical, and their barking, their noise, was not disturbing. Rather, it became a sort of lullaby, and I fell into deep sleep because of it."

IT DEPENDS ON YOUR MIND. If you are positive, then everything becomes positive. If you are negative, then everything turns negative, everything turns sour. So please remember this -- not only about noises, but about everything in life: IF YOU FEEL THAT SOMETHING NEGATIVE EXISTS AROUND YOU, go and find the cause within. It is you. You must be expecting something, you must be desiring something, you must be making some conditions.

EXISTENCE CANNOT BE FORCED TO GO ACCORDING TO YOU; it flows in its own way. If you can flow with it, you will be positive. If you fight with it, you will become negative and the whole thing, the whole cosmos around you, will turn negative.

IT IS JUST LIKE A PERSON WHO IS TRYING TO FLOAT UPSTREAM: then the stream is negative. If you are trying to float upstream in a river, then the river will seem negative and you will feel that the river is fighting you -- that the river is pushing you downwards. The river is trying to move you downstream, not upstream, so it will seem as if the river is fighting you. The river is completely unaware of you, blissfully unaware. And it is good; otherwise the river will go to a madhouse. THE RIVER IS NOT FIGHTING WITH YOU; you are fighting with the river. You are trying to float upstream.

I WILL TELL YOU ONE ANECDOTE. A great crowd gathered around Mulla Nasrudin's house, and they said, "What are you doing? You wife has fallen into the stream and the river is in a flood. Go immediately; otherwise the stream will take your wife to the sea." The sea was just near, so Mulla came running to the bank, jumped into the stream and started swimming upstream to find where his wife was.
So the crowd screamed, "What are you doing, Nasrudin? Your wife couldn't have gone upstream. She has gone downstream." So Mulla said, "Do not disturb me. I know my wife very well. If anyone else had fallen into the stream, he would have gone downstream. Not my wife, however. She must have gone upstream. I know my wife well, I have lived with her forty years."

The mind is always trying to go upsteam, to move upstream. FIGHTING WITH EVERYTHING, YOU CREATE A NEGATIVE WORLD AROUND YOU. Obviously, this has to happen. The world is not against you. Because you are not with the world, you feel it is against you. Float downstream, and then the river will help you to float. Then your energy will not be needed. The river will become a boat: it will take you. You will not lose any energy floating downstream; because once you float downstream, you have accepted the river, the current, the flow, the direction, everything. Then you have become positive to it. When you are positive, the river is positive to you.

Healer's Prayer

“I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent him who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say
Or what to do,
Because he who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever he wishes
Knowing he goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let him teach me to heal.”

WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF BEING IN A WRONG SITUATION?

I came across this from Osho the other day. Frankly, I think it is inspirational. Kiran Schmidt, the creator of the CoRe system is always talking about DLE or'Dynamic Labile Equilibrium". I only really began to grasp this when he came to Bangkok and gave a workshop back in February. What is DLE? It's instability, or a state of constant change. Many people seem to crave stability, but stability isn't change! It's all about things remaining the same and to most people this spells out comfort zone, safety and security. But is it life? I believe Osho answers that question here.

"WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF BEING IN A WRONG SITUATION? -- because the wrong situation is very ego-shattering, and the right situation is very ego-enhancing.

In fact, to think of the future is to think in terms of the ego. So remain with the moment. IF IT IS NEEDED FOR YOUR GROWTH -- that you should go in a wrong direction -- IT WILL HAPPEN. And you cannot avoid it, because avoiding it will be avoiding your own growth. You cannot avoid anything. So whatsoever is available, enjoy it to your total capacity; respond to it totally. Let this moment give all that it can give to you. And the next moment is going to be born out of this moment

IF THIS MOMENT HAS BEEN RIGHTLY LIVED, from where will the next moment come? IT WILL GROW OUT OF THIS MOMENT. It is going to take on the same quality. It is going to be a continuity with this moment; the next moment is not coming out of the blue. It grows out of you like a leaf grows out of the tree. It comes from your roots... it is nourished by your life juice. So if this moment is lived rightly... And when I use the word 'rightly', I don't mean in the sense puritans use it; I don't mean the meaning that moralists will like to enforce on it.

TO LIVE RIGHTLY MEANS TO LIVE TOTALLY. It is not being virtuous, it is just being whole. The right is not against wrong or against sin. The right is only against being partial. Don't be partial, don't be fragmentary. And the right has nothing to do with any goal, any perfectionist's ideal. The right has something to do with the feel of this moment. IF YOU FEEL GOOD, IT IS RIGHT. Easy is right, happiness is right.

SO CELEBRATE THIS MOMENT, enjoy this moment, delight in this moment -- and the tomorrow will take care of itself. Think not of the morrow. The moment you start thinking that you may go wrong, that you have to go right, the ego has entered. It is the ego that is worried about its decoration -- morality, good, virtue, respectability... some "shoulds". So just remain with the moment, as much as possible, and everything will go right. If this moment is right, everything is going to be right.

THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF BEING RIGHT: if you are happy in this moment, nothing is going to be wrong. Happiness is a sure indication that things are flowing with the total; you are one with the universal.

HAPPINESS ARISES ONLY WHEN THERE IS A HARMONY between you and the whole... when there is no conflict, when there is no pain. Then there is sheer joy -- and the joy is incredible because you cannot even find any cause to it. You cannot explain why it is there. It is there unexplained; and it is utterly there, for no reason at all -- it is simply there. It is there like a mystery. SO LIVE IN THE MOMENT, and by and by start dropping these tensions of the future. If you go wrong, you go wrong; nothing is wrong in it. DON'T BE A COWARD -- be courageous! In life, a few wrong things happen. In fact, they are part of life.

YOU CANNOT WEAVE A CLOTH unless the thread is put in such a way that each thread is crossed by another thread, the vertical is crossed by the horizontal; otherwise the cloth will not exist. A good man is simply good; he is a heap of thread, he is not a cloth. A bad man is simply bad; he is again a heap of thread, not a cloth. A WHOLE MAN IS BOTH. He accepts God and devil both, day and night both. And in that acceptance is transcendence. In the very acceptance, you are neither good nor bad. You have gone beyond both; you become a witness. And that's what real sanctity is.

SO DON'T TRY TO BE GOOD AND DON'T TRY TO BE RIGHT. Don't try to avoid the wrong, and don't try to avoid the bad -- because then your life will lose all salt; you will become tasteless. Saints are tasteless -- at least so-called saints. A real saint has tremendous contradictions in him; he is paradoxical. He is both sweet and bitter. He is as dark as the darkest night and as full of light as the noontime. He's simple like a child. You can almost call him a fool. That's what Saint Francis used to call himself -- and he is as wise as there is the possibility to be.

In the Old Testament there is a saying: THE WISEMAN, THE PERFECT MAN, IS AS CUNNING AS THE SNAKE AND AS INNOCENT AS THE DOVE. This is the contradiction -- as innocent as the dove and as cunning, sly, as the snake -- but both meet, and in that meeting both change their qualities; in that meeting both negate each other. WHEN BOTH THE PLUS AND MINUS COME TOGETHER, they negate each other. And out of that negation, a zero experience is born. When God and devil meet, they negate each other; they are equal forces. And when they are negative, you are empty. That emptiness is absolute; it knows no limit, it is immeasurable. And in that emptiness is what in the East we have called the witness, the witnessing consciousness.

My whole effort here is to help you to become that emptiness. So I am not worried about going wrong. SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD TO GO WRONG. It is very good to go astray sometimes. It is not always good to remain good, so don't be worried about that. It is as it should be. NATURE TAKES ITS OWN COURSE. Simply remain with the moment. Live the moment with your total being involved in it, committed to it, absorbed in it. Become drunk with the moment, and then whatsoever happens will be good. Even if it is not good, it will be good. At least eventually it will prove to be good. EVEN IF YOU GO WRONG SOMETIMES, finally you will find that that was also part of being right. It was needed. Life is really a mystery, and the mystery is because of this paradox....

THIS IS HOW IT GOES -- exploding, imploding, exhaling, inhaling. This is how it goes -- happiness, unhappiness; good and bad, right and wrong. So don't be worried about it. SIMPLY TRUST LIFE. I teach you trust -- trust in life! So if sometimes life leads you into some wrong ways, go. Don't resist that moment; just go totally. So whatsoever life wants you to learn from that experience is learned, and you can come out again."

Red Alert: Insider Study on Cell Phone Safety Seriously Flawed

Today's blog comes thanks to Dr. Joe Mercola.I feel that this is a very important and yet ignored topic. Daily I see people with cell phones plugged to their ears, who are totally oblivious of the dangers involved. Yes, these phones are wonderful devices but they ned to be used wisely and with a great deal of caution.
"The Interphone Study Group did finally acknowledge the increased risk of brain cancer among long-term, heavy users of cell phones. However, the International EMF Collaborative argues that the study still seriously underestimated the brain cancer risk".

"They found 11 key design flaws -- for example, individuals using cordless phones but not cell phones were considered 'unexposed' for purposes of the Interphone analysis, though exposed to the same radiation."

According to Electromagnetic Health, other issues with the Interphone study include:

* Results were only provided for brain cancers (gliomas) and meningiomas, but not tumors within the 20 percent of the brain's volume irradiated by cell phones
* Risk was not broken down by gender, which may have obfuscated even higher risk of meningiomas in women
* The 5-year old results are woefully inadequate as a gauge of risk today, as adults and children now speak on cell phones many hours a day compared to only 2 to 2 ½ hours a month at that time

Eileen O'Connor, Director of the Radiation Research Trust and member of the International EMF Collaborative, says:

"Four billion people own mobile phones worldwide, many of those users are children. Responsible governments must advocate for public transparency of risks so that an informed public may have more options to exercise precaution".

World War II is Long Over — You Can Have Your Coconut Oil Again!

During World War II, the Japanese military occupied the Philippines, Thailand, Malaya and many South Pacific islands, where bloody battles were fought.
The once-plentiful supply of coconut oil was effectively cut off from the United States.
Although coconut oil had been popular both as a cooking oil and ingredient in numerous food products, the occupation continued to interrupt the supply for several long years as the war slowly dragged on.
Enter good old American ingenuity (in this case, not so good for your health).
Manufacturers began to develop alternative sources of cooking oils, and the polyunsaturated oils phase was born. By the time the war was over, there was a lot of money at stake in the promotion of these polyunsaturated vegetable oils.
By the end of the 1950’s, public opinion had turned totally against saturated fats like butter (and coconut oil). Saturated fats were blamed for raising cholesterol, and cholesterol was now viewed as the evil enemy, the culprit responsible for the steep rise in heart disease.
Butter, eggs and coconut oil were out.
The new vegetable oils were in... and erroneously touted as "heart-healthy."
Coconut oil continued to be demonized by the vegetable oil industry throughout the ensuing decades. Adding insult to injury, the soybean industry began to condemn the use of tropical oils, particularly coconut oil.
And I'm sure you realize the reason why — competition... and millions and millions of dollars.
Unfortunately, the tropical oil industry, centered in poorer nations like the Philippines and Indonesia, could not afford to counter the negative propaganda spread by rich American industrial conglomerates.

The truth about coconut oil is obvious to anyone who has studied the health of those who live in traditional tropical cultures, where coconut has been a nutritious diet staple for thousands of years.
Back in the 1930’s, a dentist named Dr. Weston Price traveled throughout the South Pacific, examining traditional diets and their effect on dental and overall health. He found that those eating diets high in coconut products were healthy and trim, despite the high fat concentration in their diet.
Similarly, in 1981, researchers studied populations of two Polynesian atolls. Coconut was the chief source of caloric energy in both groups. The results, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, demonstrated that both populations exhibited positive vascular health. There was no evidence that the high saturated fat intake had a harmful effect in these populations.

Coconut Oil – Your Smart Alternative to Those Other Oils

So, now that you have heard the history behind coconut oil's unfortunate "fall from grace", you should also know today's good news: coconut oil is finally beginning to get the respect it deserves as a smart alternative to other oils.
The many benefits of coconut oil are finally reaching the mainstream.
Benefits like:
* Promoting your heart health
* Promoting weight loss when and if you need it
* Supporting your immune system health
* Supporting a healthy metabolism
* Providing you with an immediate energy source
* Helping to keep your skin healthy and youthful looking
* Supporting the proper functioning of your thyroid gland

"Coconut oil is transforming my health! Not only am I losing weight, but my skin, hair (damaged with spit ends), and nails (soft and brittle) are healthier. And it didn't take that long. I just put the coconut oil in fruit smoothies in the morning. Imagine what health improvements my body would have if I (and I will) increase my coconut oil intake to cooking with it!
"Also, my biggest health success with coconut oil has been the support it gives to my immune system. I feel less fatigued, I'm sleeping less, and feeling great! Thank you, Dr. Mercola! Bravo!"
-- J Newman from Monterey, CA
Dr Joe Mercola says:
"If you could peek inside my pantry, you would find two oils that I use in food preparation.
The first, extra-virgin olive oil, is a better monounsaturated fat. It works great as a salad dressing.
However, it is not the best oil to cook with. Due to its chemical structure, cooking makes it susceptible to oxidative damage.
And polyunsaturated fats, which include common vegetable oils such as corn, soy, safflower, sunflower and canola, are absolutely the worst oils to use in cooking. These omega-6 oils are highly susceptible to heat damage because of all the double bonds they have.
I strongly urge you to throw out those omega-6 vegetable oils in your cabinets. Why?
Reason #1: Most people believe that frying creates trans fats. That is not the major problem, in my opinion. Although some are created, they are relatively minor. There are FAR more toxic chemicals produced by frying omega-6 oils than trans fats.
Frying destroys the antioxidants in oils and as such oxidizes the oils. This causes cross-linking, cyclization, double-bond shifts, fragmentation and polymerization of oils that cause far more damage than trans fats.
Reason #2: They contribute to the overabundance of omega-6 fats in your diet, and the imbalance of the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. As you know from my extensive writing on this subject, I believe that excessive consumption of omega-6 fats contributes to many health concerns.
There is only one oil that is stable enough to resist heat-induced damage, while it also helps you promote heart health, maintain normal cholesterol levels and even supports weight loss — coconut oil."
Thank you Dr. Mercola for that sound advice!

5 lessons about the way we treat people

5 lessons about the way we treat people



1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.


During my second month of college, our professor

Gave us a pop quiz I was a conscientious student
And had breezed through the questions until I read

The last one:


"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the

Cleaning woman several times. She was tall,

Dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?



I handed in my paper, leaving the last question

Blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if

The last question would count toward our quiz grade.



"Absolutely, " said the professor. "In your careers,

You will meet many people. All are significant.. They

Deserve your attention and care, even if all you do

Is smile and say "hello."


I've never forgotten that lesson.. I also learned her

Name was Dorothy.



2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at 11:30 P.M., an older African American

Woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway

Trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had

Broken down and she desperately needed a ride.

Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.

A young white man stopped to help her, generally

Unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man

Took her to safety, helped her get assistance and

Put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his

Address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a

Knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a

Giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A

Special note was attached.

It read:

"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway

The other night. The rain drenched not only my

Clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.

Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying

Husband's' bedside just before he passed away... God

Bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving

Others."

Sincerely,

Mrs. Nat King Cole.



3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those

Who serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,

A 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and

Sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in

Front of him.

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and

Studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.

By now more people were waiting for a table and the

Waitress was growing impatient.



"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said...

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on

The table and walked away The boy finished the ice

Cream, paid the cashier and left.. When the waitress

Came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the

Table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,

Were two nickels and five pennies..

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had

To have enough left to leave her a tip.


4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path...

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a

Roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if

Anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the

King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by

And simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the

King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did

Anything about getting the stone out of the way.



Then a peasant came along carrying a load of

Vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the

peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the

stone to the side of the road. After much pushing

and straining, he finally succeeded. After the

peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed

a purse lying in the road where the boulder had

been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note

from the King indicating that the gold was for the

person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The

peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve

our condition.


5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a

hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who

was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only

chance of recovery appeared to be a blood

transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had

miraculously survived the same disease and had

developed the antibodies needed to combat the

illness. The doctor explained the situation to her

little brother, and asked the little boy if he would

be willing to give his blood to his sister.



I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a

deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save

her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed

next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing

the color returning to her cheek. Then his face

grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a

trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the

doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his

sister all of his blood in order to save her.

The Cholesterol Myth!

I see many people who are completely caught up in the whole cholesterol saga.
"I have been on a statin drug since I was 9 years old!"
"My cholesterol count is 225, but my Dr. tells me that it has to come down to 175." And so on and on.
Most people do not understand the first thing about cholesterol and by the same token it seems that most medical professionals don't either. Thia is a case where marketing has taken over from science and basic common sense. Cholesterol is made in the liver and it is a vital ingredient for overall well being. By decreasing cholesterol values you are working to undermine good health and not increase it.
Cholesterol is not a poison
* cholesterol is one of the most important molecules in the body.
* cholesterol makes hormones, including sex hormones
* cholesterol is produced by the liver and working with the liver it produces bile.
* cholesterol is vital for digestion
* cholesterol interlocks lipid molecules which stabilise cell membranes
* cholesterol is a vital building block for cell generation.
* Lowering cholesterol causes the body to fall apart.
* The real problem is inflammation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* Cholesterol lowering drugs are a scam which undermine the health of the population
* This is another example where marketing takes over and gives rise to bad science. Oh, cholesterol participates in the manufacture of sex hormones, thus if you decrease cholesterol levels you will find your libido beginning to droop, too. Is it worth it? To find out more tune in to this blog for the next episode in the cholesterol myth.

What is th CoRe system?

CoRe stands for coincidence recognition. It is an integrated and highly customized information and energy medicine device. It works because it is computer generated. Effectively the heart of CoRe is a holographic random number generator. This tosses into the air, thousand of resonance possibilities. These patterns are contrasted against the personal experiences of a given individual. Call this person the client or patient. In this comparison random events give way to patterns. Nothing is significant unless it is repeated and forms such a pattern. It is a bit like Lorenz’s “Butterfly”, in which seemingly random weather events were able to produce a very definite and discernible pattern, which in this case resembled a butterfly. These informational patterns are compared against the symptom picture of the client/patient and like the butterfly something discernible and palpable emerges.
When we examine dis-ease states, symptoms fist appear in an unpredictable and seemingly random manner. German physicist originator of the CoRe system describes this as DLE or “Dynamic Labile Equilibrium”. Once the symptoms become deeper rooted they become more predictable. In essence they stabilize in the mind body mix and emerge as conditions such as high blood pressure, hypothyroid conditions and a myriad of other symptomologial patterns. Once they begin to root themselves in this way, they become more difficult to reverse. This is on of the criticisms of modern allopathic medicine. Tests only reveal a condition when it has anchored itself in the body-mind. For this to occur the condition has to be quite advanced.
In Kinesiolgy, the testing procedure developed by chiropractors, which depends on muscle testing as the testing medium.The muscle either tests strong or weak. A weak response indicates a problem that has been detected by the unconscious mind. The CoRe on the other hand can perform the equivalent of several thousand muscle tests in a few brief moments. In Kinesiolgy such a batchoif tests would require hours and hors of tedious repetition. Thus we see that CoRe is an informational tool devoted to making some sort of sense of the healing process,
We need to interpret the information thrown up by the Core analysis according to the operator’s own field of expertise. This can be nutritional, homeopathic, allopathic, psychological, chiropractic or whatever. CoRe is like the oracle. The system presents the information and the operator interprets the information according to his/her own specialty. Once an informational picture has emerged the system can then be used as an effective healing tool. It is not a medical device but it elicits healing informationally, energetically, vibrationally, auditorally or even by means of colour and light. This is a truly holistic approach to eliminating symptoms and dis-ease states. It is one of the most advanced biofeedback tools, which works under the aegis of bio-resonance technology available today. CoRe offers the power of radionics broadcasts that can work long distance. It heals by producing vibrational frequencies within the Royal Rife and Hulda Clark spectrum. Hand held electrodes expose the client/patient to the healing vibrations of the frequencies. It can also be used to facilitate EMDR psychological clearing in a powerful, effective and swift way. As an informational tool CoRe can evaluate such diverse problems as food intolerances, nutritional deficiencies, levels of toxicity and homeopathic requirements amongst a host of other possibilities. Moreover, the device can also imprint information so as to make remedies in much ate same way as homeopathics are produced.
Anyone contemplating a programme that necessities healing such as detox or fasting would be well advised to experience a CoRe session before commencing and after completing to get the very best out of their healing experience. Alister Bredee is a Wellness Consultant with over a quarter of a century of experience. He can offer CoRe sessions and provide many of the remedies revealed by the protocol.

"If you really love a person." from Osho

IF YOU REALLY LOVE A PERSON you will never encroach on his or her freedom. That is the ONLY indication of your love. Your love can be proved only by one thing: how much freedom you are giving to the other -- even the freedom to love others. That is the ONLY indication of your love.

THE MORE LOVE YOU GIVE, THE MORE YOU WILL HAVE -- because by giving, your love starts flowing. It may have been dormant, stagnant; by sharing, it starts flowing. It is like drawing water from a well: the moment you start to draw water, from hidden springs more water starts coming to fill the space. If you don't draw the water from the well, the water will become dirty; it may even become poisonous. And the springs will not be used; they will become blocked. If you go on drawing water every day, more and more water will be flowing in the well, and the springs will become bigger because they will be used more.

But people live in the outside economics even in their inner life. THE WIFE BECOMES VERY ANGRY if she finds her husband just being friendly with another woman. The husband becomes aggressive, jealous, if he finds that his wife was having a good time with somebody else, just enjoying, laughing. This is sheer stupidity! It is not understanding the inner world and the inner meta-economics. He is still thinking in terms of money -- that if his wife has laughed with somebody else that means she will not be able to laugh with him any more; so much laughter is lost! Now he is a loser, and of course that creates anger.

In fact, IF THE WIFE DOES NOT LAUGH WITH MANY PEOPLE, does not enjoy friendship, is not loving to many people, her love sources will die; she will not be able to love her husband either. She will forget how to love, her springs will go dry.

That's why you see husbands and wives looking so sad and bored with each other, it is bound to happen. They are going against a natural inner law: YOU HAVE MORE, THE MORE YOU GIVE. Giving does not destroy anything in you; in fact it is creative. The person who loves many people will be able to love his wife or her husband more totally.

BUT HUMANITY HAS NOT UNDERSTOOD this simple phenomenon even yet. We are still behaving in a very childish and stupid way. It is as if your wife says, "You breathe only when I am there, and when I am not there stop breathing -- because so much breath will be lost, so much life will be lost. And when you come home and you have been breathing in every place, everywhere, you will be almost dead! So when I am not with you, stop breathing!" And the husband insists also that, "When I am not at home, you stop breathing -- so that when we are together great breathing happens!" But both will die!

THAT'S HOW WE HAVE KILLED LOVE IN THE WORLD. We have killed everything valuable, because our whole logic is stupid. It is good that the husband goes for a morning walk and breathes in the fresh air, jogs and runs on the beach, and enjoys the sun. And the wife also goes and enjoys the flowers and the trees and the grass. And when they come together, they will be able to be more alive with each other, more loving to each other. They will be at their peak; they will be full of life-juices to share. But this has not happened yet.

JEALOUSY KILLS LOVE, POSSESSIVENESS KILLS LOVE. Be non-jealous if you want great love to happen; if you want your life to grow multidimensionally, it needs freedom. You need freedom, and the person you love needs freedom. In freedom only there is expansion, growth.

Albert Einstein discovered that the universe is continuously growing and expanding. Five thousand years before Albert Einstein, the Upanishads were saying the same thing. The name they gave to the universe, "brahmand", means that which goes on expanding, which is continuously growing. There is no end to that growth, no limit to that growth. A meditator has to live his life in such a way that everything goes on growing, expanding, without any limit. Your love, your joy, your silence, your life -- EVERYTHING SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GROW. And it can happen only if you allow the same to others.

But what we have been doing for thousands of years is just the opposite: we encroach on each other's territory, WE DESTROY EVERYBODY'S SPACE IN THE NAME OF LOVE, in the name of friendship. We use beautiful words to hide ugly realities.

IF YOU REALLY LOVE A PERSON, you will allow all the space possible to the person; you will never encroach on his or her freedom. That is the ONLY indication of your love. And the miracle is, the more we allow each other to love as many people as possible, you will find the person infinitely loving towards you -- because love is not money, love is not a commodity. It is an inner energy which grows by sharing, which dies by not sharing.

I Am That
Ch #1: Beyond the changing
am in Buddha Hall

Life in the 1500s

I am indebted to Dr Robert Davidson for this post. I think it is truly intersting. Thanks so much....
Life in the 1500's:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the b.o.

Baths equalled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually loose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water".

Houses had thatched roofs. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets...dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs,"

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it addressed that problem. Hence those beautiful big 4 poster beds with canopies.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor". The wealthy had slate floors which would get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold".

They cooked in the kitchen in a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been in there for a month. Hence the rhyme: peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man "could really bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes... for 400 years.

Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers - a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trencher were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth."

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust".

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake".

England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and reuse the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.
So they thought they would tie a string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift"
they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer".

And that's what life was like in the 1500's…

English is a difficult Language.

It doesn't make much sense does it?

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.

2) The farm was used to produce produce .

3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

4) We must polish the Polish furniture.

5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present .

8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10) I did not object to the object.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row .

13) They were too close to the door to close it.

14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.

15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.

17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.

18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ?

Dynamic Labile Equilibrium

WHY DOES MAN GO ON LIVING IN THE SAME REPETITIVE CIRCLE, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND LIFE AFTER LIFE?

It is simple. Because you don't really live. That's why you want to repeat. If you really live, there will be no need to repeat. If you have loved, and known what love is, there will be no need to repeat; you will be finished with it. Whenever something has been known totally, you are finished with it. When something remains unknown, you hanker. Natural it is, you go on desiring. You have not loved in this life, you will desire another life. You have not loved THIS woman, you will desire another woman. You have not loved THIS man, you will desire another man, in some other world, in some other planet.

You have not been able to see and recognize and realize who you are in THIS life so you will hanker for another. The incomplete hankers to be completed, that's why.

And then you can understand my standpoint. That's why I say: Live totally! Live utterly! Whatsoever you want to do, do it! Don't avoid and don't repress, otherwise you will have to come again. And come again, and come again.

A Long Silence

It has been a long time since I last posted to this blogspot. There are varied and many reasons for that. But let's say it is all changing now! Today I would like to salute the beginning of a new era with the arrival of "Health Ambit Consultancy". How that works ....well have a look at the website. Yes, the website has been revamped,too. We are not quite there but on the way. Keep a look out because in the next few days I am going to be offering 3 copies each of my two e-books to the first three people who respond to the offer. It has not gone out as yet, but it's there in the offing.
The picture shows me and Dr Hew Len taken in Dubai last June when he led a Ho'opono pono Workshop there. He will be back again in Dubai this June. This is a tremendous opportunity of " making it all right" and of course learning to talk to Divinity. We were fortunate in having a relatively small group in the UAE. I believe there were more than 3,000 attendees in Tokyo! Look out for more details in the coming days.
Speak to you soon.
The Peace of "I".
