Barriers to Love

Whatever is in your heart that is not clean, not true, will ultimately begin to act like a wall, obstructing the natural flow of love.

People, who say that there is no love in their life, are being blocked by this wall.

Actually there is love, but they just can’t accept it. Ego is the clearest example of this. Ego limits the flow of love by placing conditions on the love you give and receive.

Ego uses love to satisfy its own needs and desires. It produces a love which is deceptive, one which brings only temporary satisfaction. Ego does not allow you to experience true love or share it. In fact ego is capable of destroying your ability to feel love altogether.

Love knows no boundaries.

Let life inspire you

Let life inspire you, no matter what happens, you can choose to be inspired by it. If you make a mistake, let it inspire you to be more careful and diligent next time. When you’re having a great time, let it inspire you to create even more positive experiences.

Each time you see kindness, be inspired to pass it forward. If you encounter deception or injustice feel inspired to raise your world above it.

Anything can inspire you when you choose to let it. You can even be inspired for no reason at all.

Be inspired by the big accomplishments and by the small, simple moments as well. An inspired life is a life that’s rich and it’s a life you can no matter what. If there’s a reason to be inspired or if there is not, be inspired. Bring your spirit full of life, and raise your life to a higher, more enriching level.

Do you love yourself?

People feel lonely; they need somebody to fill their loneliness. They call it love. They show love because that is the only way to hook the other. The other also calls it love because that is the only way to hook you. But who knows whether there is love or not? Love is just a game Real love is possible, but that happens only when you don't need anybody!

If you go to a bank and you need money, they will not give you any. If you don't need money, you have enough, they will come to you and they will always be ready to give you.

When you don't need a person at all, when you are totally sufficient unto yourself, when you can be alone and tremendously happy and ecstatic, then love is possible. But then too you can be certain about only one thing: whether your love is real. How can you be certain about the other? But then there is no need.

This continuous anxiety -- whether the other's love is real or not -- simply shows one thing: that your love is not real Why be worried about it? Enjoy it while it lasts! Be together while you can be together! It is a fiction, but you need fiction.

Behind declarations of love there is nothing but need. You want your lover to be with you to fill your emptiness and so too is the case with her. You are both trying to use each other as a means. That's why lovers, so-called lovers, are always in conflict -- because nobody wants to be used, because when you use a person the person becomes a thing, you have reduced him to a commodity. One day when you are really awake you will be able to love -- but then you will be certain about your love only. But that's enough! Do you love yourself? You have not even asked the question.

When you are really blissful on your own, you don't want to use anybody. You simply want to share it. And you will feel thankful that somebody was ready to receive. That is the full point. There is no way to be certain about the other -- first be certain about you. And a person who is certain about himself is certain about the whole world. Settled, centered, grounded, in yourself, you never worry about such things. You accept if somebody loves you, you accept it because you love yourself. You are happy with yourself; somebody else is happy -- good! It does not get in your head; it does not make you madly egoistic.

You simply enjoy yourself; somebody else also finds you enjoyable -- good! While it lasts, live the fiction as beautifully as possible -- it will not last forever. When a love is finished, you start thinking it was false -- that's why it has come to an end. No, not necessarily. It may have had some glimmer of truth in it, but you were both unable to keep and hold that truth. You needed love, but you were not capable of it. When you are aware, a totally different kind of love will arise in your heart -- which is absolutely true, which is part of eternity.

Difficulties


Difficult challenges can come into your life when you least expect them, and when you can ill afford them. Yet there they are, bullying their way into your world. If you try to ignore them or deny them, they just get bigger and more problematic. The more you let them worry you and get you down, the more helpless they make you.

A life full of challenge is often stressful and uncomfortable, but it is vastly better than the alternative, which is a life full of nothing. Your own particular challenges may seem extremely unfair, and they probably are. But that doesn't make them any less real, nor does it make you any less obligated to confront and endure them.

Accept the challenges when they appear, and you're well on the way to overcoming them. Though they bring disruption and pain, they also bring growth and power. Sometimes what is best for us is not what we would choose. Life is difficult and in it we find unimaginable joy. Accept it all and live it for all it's worth.

Kama –The Hidden Source of Vital - Spiritual Energy -1

Man is the most superior creation of the cosmic order. Once he knows how he can improve his fortune, he will certainly take measures to improve it. He will become the architect of his destiny and not a tool of the destiny

So when we think of meditating on or the awakening of the cervical plexus we can also think of the world of dreams. This may naturally lead our imagination to areas of awareness, which are beyond the present physical environment around us. It is therefore, said that a seeker who meditates on this Vishudhakhya lotus comes to acquire a state of awareness which is omnipresent. He then acquires the knowledge of the past the present and the future.

The astral body is constantly in a state of alert. It never rests. Impressions of its activities, excitement and dynamism even as it interacting with a subtler and a grosser body are passed on to the surrounding astral atmosphere. This disturbance is akin to that created by a loudspeaker in its surrounding. Its diaphragm vibrates to the tune that is broadcast and sound waves propagating there from making the listener aware of the tune. In the same manner astral body causes a wave of disturbance is astral atmosphere. The aura-seer picks up these vibrations when he gets tuned to receive them (like tuning in to AIR broadcasts).

The primates, Men, and apes have more serotonin than any other species. Which seems to be manufactured in the Pineal Eye? And one of its functions is to inhibit sexual Development and to increase intelligence. This seems to explain, why most intelligent human beings seems to be late developers sexually and why early developer are seldom. If ever remarkable for intelligence. Pineal Eye is also called A Third Eye.

Incidentally Colin Wilson in his book THE OCCULT, says that occult power are within human body. “Researchers to the “PINEAL EYE” the organ in the brain that the Hindus declare to be the seat of the Occult powers were assumed to be a vestigial eye although no one quite decides that use an eye would be in the middle of the brain. In the present century scientists began to recognize an odd connection between the pineal eye and sexuality. It was established that the organ is a gland not a vestigial eye and that it produce a hormone that was labeled melatonin, melatonin is produced by the action for a certain enzyme upon a chemical called serotonin.

The Biophysical energy released from your body is called the opening of third Eye. A Third Eye- Name given to the process, whereby the full potential of man’s Biophysical, mental, emotional energy released, integrated and focussed.

Kama – the subtle source of sex-element, zealous vitality, sublime creativity, joy and emotional exaltation, is the seed of manifestation of Kundalini – the hidden energy of cosmic grandeur. The sagacious, enlightened personalities are aware of this precious source and therefore use it cautiously for creative purposes. We should know the importance and deeper depths of the spiritual science of kama and proceed along the path of sadhanas as per our present mental makeup.

Since 1960 sex has become the research subject and came out of the bedroom. People are accepting the relationship / affairs with their dear one. Since a long time due to Film, literature, theater, and TV the sex subject has become the topic of discussion/chit chat among the friends and co-friends. After the introduction of Internet, no doubt sex has not been for discussion behind the door. Perhaps for that reason the young generation is giving their sex relationship as an experiment and trying to justify the sexual affairs before marriage. The great Philosophers also say that history repeat by itself. May be possible we are returning to the Ape age the old civilization. The English writer, thinkers Walter Peter, Oscar Wild, D.H.Lawrance, (the author of Fox Noval), Indian writers Khuswant Singh, Kamla Das and Ms. Sobha Dey are known for there openness for the writing openly about sex.

Be it a TV Serials, News Paper, Film, Magazine or Theater and Sex seminars etc.


Lord Krishna removed these suppressive barriers and encouraged healthy alliance between the two sexes by way of organizing the blissful programmes of "Raslila" in which the boys and girls, men and women all used to play and dance together. He found it illogical to discriminate among humans on gender basis; so what if one section of the human society can grow moustaches and the other doesn’t. How could the difference between the anatomies of the genitals make one sex inferior or harmful to the other in any way? In fact, this difference in the physical and psychological nature of the two sexes is a remarkable symbol of Nature’s art that offers soothing mutual complementarity’s among them. The sick mentality that the two different sexes would commit mistakes and indulge in obscene, amoral acts whenever they associate is an extreme of mistrust of humans towards themselves.

Chastity of conduct, virtuous development of character could be ensured only by refinement from within. This demands inculcation of sraddha, prudence and farsightedness towards noble ideals and human dignity. Social norms should not prohibit healthy alliance, interaction and collaboration between the two sexes; else the society would be deprived of the great benefits available from the joint efforts, mutual support of its two major pillars. Lord Krishna had propagated this message effectively by his enchanting Raslilas.

The spiritual science of sublime power of the sex-element accords sacred interactions between man and woman. The intimacy of their relationship as married couple could also incorporate sensual connections and mutual satisfaction of sex. There should be no restriction on healthy association, joint efforts and social unions of men and women in general. As two or more men or women can share the joy of friendship without any risk or suspicion, the same way men and women could also maintain unstained, respectful alliance. This natural, serene, sober association should not be prohibited.

The mutually supplementing powers of Prana and Rayi, soma and Agni, and Swaha and Swadha in man and woman are of unique biological, psychological and spiritual importance. The conjugation of these sublime elements holds limitless potentials of genesis, creation and blissful evolution at higher realms of Nature. Reproduction or growth of population is a very crude and negligible expression of this astonishing effect. These two subliminal streams of the source of consciousness and manifestation of Nature should be recognized and realized through the deeper science of spirituality. Sagacity of human mind should check the risk of tragic decline and extinction of human species by preventing the perverted dissipation of the immense energy of Kama – hidden in the sex-element – in erotic passions. This sublime power should rather be channelized wisely for the overall augmentation of the physical, mental and spiritual strength of mankind.

The activity of sex-element in copulation is a subtle biological process. The sensual lust and excitement associated with copulation could be vulgar and shameful. Erotic description of the same could be detrimental and should therefore be avoided. However, knowing the roots of this process in Nature, deciphering the higher dimensions of the vital force and the deeper science of Kama, is neither untoward nor vulgar. It is indeed a part of the Panchagni Vidya – the Vedic science of genesis and evolution of Prana that has been lost in the mist of ignorance and tides of time. Neglect of this great knowledge has caused enough harm to our own lives and potentials. The deep knowledge of multiple aspects of the bioelectrical force and Prana in the sex-elements of man and woman is dealt in the spiritual science of Kama. It should be studied with same sincerity and investigative attitude as any other branch of science.

ECSTASY-(Ati Aanand) Ecstasy sex is a level of sexual experience beyond arousal;, beyond the intense pleasure of orgasm, and even beyond mutuality and intimacy. It comes unbidden during intercourse, and most typically, just at the point of orgasm / ejaculation. There is no mistaking it when it happens.

You and your partner may feel yourselves becoming so close that you merge into one, transcending the limits of your bodies. Or, you alone may feel the bliss shooting up your spine and catapulting you into a dimension of experience you can only describe as cosmic.

The experience you might have and it is hard to put into words. Most like those descriptions are found in our religious scripture state of being totally free from desire. It is a state of pleasure so intense, that while it may be accompanied by an orgasm / ejaculation, you really don’t know whether you are having an orgasm / ejaculation or not. And you both turn to each other and say, “Did you feel that? What was that?”

Spiritual experiences are so highly personal, that one cannot describe typical ecstatic moment. But here are ways one of my Sexual experienced which you will read now.

While she had several orgasms in a row, and then she just seemed to stay in this orgasmic state with a loud cry. She felt like she was there for several minutes although it couldn’t have been more than a few seconds. Her eyes were glazed over. It was like being in an altered state of consciousness.” When she got close to orgasm she felt this white-hot light start at her tailbone and slowly move up her spine.

When it got to her head, she had the orgasm. It was one of the strange things she has ever felt. I asked her if she felt anything strange and she said she felt almost like both of us lifted about six inches off the bed.

Some people have said that they see intense colors or images. Others hear music. Some feel an overwhelming sense of connection with all creation. These experiences are probably due in part to the release of endorphins- besides killing pain; endorphins can cause intensely pleasurable states.

Ecstatic sex is something you cannot make happen. Every time I have experienced it, it has been unplanned. Yet, I do know that the sensate focus approach is much more likely to lead to ecstatic sex than a performance- oriented approach. This is because the state of mind is a prerequisite for ecstatic sex demands that you be in the here and now and one hundred percent focused on your sensations.

The ecstasy associated with intense sexual experiences is the focus of a form of yoga known as tantra. Tantric yoga emphasizes reuniting the basic male and female principles in the cosmos through specific practices and postures. The sexual energy is harnessed in a way that can lead the practitioners to transcendence and ecstasy. Tantra can be practiced by both couples and individuals.

We go singly, independently, alone and un-befriended without any association, any appendage whatsoever. But we take something with us. Like an encrustation that has grown upon us, the forces of Karma cling to our subtle body which alone departs when the physical body is shed.

Lingam mano yatra nisaktam asya:

‘The mind which is the ruling principle in the subtle body carries with it the result of its actions, the Karma-Phala,’ which clings to it like a leech. It will not leave it, wherever it goes. In some other Upanishad it is said that a calf finds its own mother even in the midst of a thousand cows by moving hither and thither in the herd; as it goes to its own mother though the cows may be thousands in number, likewise our Karma will find us wherever we are. We may go to the highest heaven, but the Karma is not going to leave us. We may go to the nether regions; it is not going to leave us. We may go to any corner of creation, but this is not going to leave us. It will find us.

Can Animals Predict Weather?

The important sectors like fisheries, tourism, aviation, naval and air force services, armed forces posted on the arduous mountain heights also highly depend on the predictions of the weather bureaus. On regular basis, they issue two to three bulletins each for the farmers and fishermen. Separate bulletins are issued through wireless communications for the Navy and similarly for the Air Force and Military officials posted in remote regions. In case of the possibility of some abnormality they even release six to ten bulletins giving updated information. Usually, the warning about a likely cyclone in the sea or a snowstorm on the mountains is now given 48 to 72 hours in advance.

The civil aviation units also need updated information on the pattern of weather conditions esp. fog, thick clouds, darkness due to heavy rainfall, or clear sky etc, for the next twelve hours. This information is desired at least a day in advance to (re)schedule the international and domestic flights accordingly. For example some white clouds are thick up to 14 to 18 km and the surface of such a cloud circumvents an average area of about a circle of diameter 5 to 15 km. It can produce static electrical potential of the order of thousands volts and thus char the aircrafts passing through it into ashes in no time.

Be that organization of mega global events like the Olympics, World Cup tournaments, international conferences, national or state level events of sports, meetings, rallies, etc, or the out-door planning of an industrial project, a film-shooting or a family picnic/outing, the information on the whether (of the next month week or day!) is desired everywhere for better planning and preparation.

In spite of all the expertise deployed in data-collection, modeling and inference in which a large number of talented, skilled and well trained brains are employed for doing the job with high-tech communication and computational instruments and networking, it is amazing to look at the natural capabilities of several species of birds and animals in sensing the future weather and geo-events far more precisely than by the well-known experts using high-tech instruments.

If black ants suddenly appear in large numbers even in the forests, it is a definite sign of rise in temperature in the coming days. If they queue up and are seen moving in a haste holding their tiny white eggs, there will be rainfall in a day or two. Wild elephants give prior warning of heavy rains by running in groups in a peculiar manner – keeping their trunks raised towards the sky. A fish found in Japan can naturally change its colors like a chameleon. When it appears in red color, then there is a strong possibility of rains; its green color corresponds to fall in the temperature. It adopts white color before the onset of summer or rise in temperature. Many people in Japan keep it at home in small aquariums or specially designed jars as a weather forecaster.

White pigeons are also experts in weather prediction. They fly much higher than usual and in a queue a few days before off-season rains. A wild spider called "Leha" is found in the thick forests of Latin America. If all of a sudden it furiously breaks its huge web then one should take note that there would be heavy rains with stormy winds in next 24 hours. Several birds are also gifted with the expertise to predict cyclonic rains and hurricanes. Saras in the hills of Tibet and Darjiling are famous as most advanced sensors of thunder- showers or heavy rains. Days before, when even the radars of weather departments don't capture the clouds, these are seen shifting with their 'families' to the caves or similar protective grooves between huge rocks. Local residents get alerted by this warning and plan their activities with due protection and safety.

Several birds found in the gigantic mountains in the Northern hemisphere, amaze the researchers, as these birds sense snowfall almost a month in advance and fly away to safer and warmer places. It is really stunning that even the high-tech instruments of today are able to make predictions of such phenomena only 24 hours in advance, that too only with some probability!

Most importantly, many animals sense the seismographic vibrations more accurately from a longer distance and much in advance as compared to any of the seismograph developed so far. Moreover their sensors don't miss it for reasons like weak signals or noise. Most of the wild animals sense the occurrence of earthquake or eruption of volcano from a long distance few days before and behave unusually; they often run away fast in a panic. The pets are also not deprived of this potential. A study in China has affirmed that dogs tied inside the house hurriedly and aggressively attempt breaking their chains and running away more than 24 hours before an earthquake in the surrounding region. Even if not tied they behave unusually a couple of days before an earthquake strikes their or in the neighboring areas a few kilometers away; they stop barking and fighting and also hug each other, as though a mark of 'goodbye' before the final journey. Similar behavior is observed in rats, cats and some other pets. The 'Chibie' birds of Japan fly away to far distant places a day before the eruption of an earthquake.

Many a fish laid their eggs on the seashore only when there is no chance of any wave reaching up to that spot. Just imagine if they would have relied on our high-tech devices and simulations which can never be precise, even in predicting the normal course of high and low tides, beyond a range of several hundred meters (of the size and range of strike of the waves) and an hour or so (of the instance of high or low tide). A mistake of even half a minutes and a foot in the 'calculations' of the fish would risk its eggs being swept away by the waves. But see! These marine creatures never miss it, as though the ocean itself adjusts its waves with due care for their safety.

Many examples of this kind make us pause and feel humble and small before the wonder-filled wisdom of Nature at so-called sub-human levels. How and why Nature has gifted the tiny creatures with such marvelous sensors and processors? Is it only to remind man not to boast of his technological and innovative achievements and desist from ruling over the entire animal kingdom? Or is it to offer a natural help to mankind to be alert and protected from calamities? As stressed by noted scientist Dr. Bill Schul in his interesting book "The Psychic Power of Animals", we should respect the existence of animals and birds and attempt to know and modify our predictions about the happenings in Nature with their help.

How to fix the systems in our Lives ?

Life is made up of a series of systems which can be changed to make our lives better.

We all have systems going on in our lives: sleep, career, hobbies, relationships, money management, goals, personal hygiene, health, eating, etc. I believe one of the key components of a successful life is to be able to manage all the systems in our lives as efficiently and as painless as possible.

For example if we have a health problem, we have to look at the system of health in our life, dissect it and find out where the problem is lying and look at ways of fixing it.

Similarly if we have a problem with managing our money, we dissect the money management system and look for the reasons we cannot manage our money correctly, and then look at ways of fixing it.

What I’ve come to realize that when these systems are working well our lives tend to go well and everything is hunky dory, but when one of the systems fail, it causes the others to fail in some way as well. It’s like a cog in a machine, if one of the cogs break then it effectively breaks the whole machine.

Sleep is a system which has a set of subsystems, which, if tweaked correctly, can help us to get a great night sleep, give us more energy and allow us to sleep less. We just have to look at sleep as a whole, break it down and then start tweaking what’s not working.

Then, when I started looking at other areas of life I soon realized than we can do this with almost every area of our life. If we think about it we are a system of habits. Most of our life is made up of things we do every day, day and day out and it doesn’t change much. This might make us humans sound dull and uninteresting but it’s a good thing really as it keeps our lives together, it keeps us from feeling stressed as we know pretty much what we are going to be doing this time next week, we know where we will be celebrating Deepawali, we know when we are going on holiday, we know we are going to work, when we sit down for dinner, when we have to study and the list goes on. So because we are going to live our lives like this wouldn’t it make sense to make it the best system we could and make things run smoothly and even make it work for us, and make it better.

The system in our lives

One of the first things to do is look at every system in your life just now and assesses it. The simple way to assess it is just give it a mark out of 10, nothing fancy, a quick, intuitive mark which tells you how well you think that particular part of life is going.

Look at some of the systems below, add some of your own and give them a mark out of 10:

1. Health
2. Carrier
3. Marriage
4. Relationship with children
5. Money
6. Life goals
7. friends
8. Sleep
9. Diet
10. Spirituality
11. Fun

I will give you an example of the diet system in your life and how it can be analysed:

Suppose a person’s diet is not going so great, so it would be time to look at his diet and figure out why he only scored it 6 out of 10. And that would be the next part; to drill down on the system and find the sub-systems in order to tweak it as much as possible.

Looking at the sub-systems

Once we recognize that something isn’t quite right with one of the systems in our life we can then drill down on it to find out why it’s not working and aim to look at fixing it.

In case of diet one can ask following questions (Subsystems):

1 What I eat?
2 What do I drink?
3 How many calories do I consume?
4 What type of food do I eat?
5 When do I eat?
6 What foods make me sluggish?
7 What are the staple foods I eat? Etc.

From the example above you can ask a lot of questions about the system of your diet and look at each different sub-system and start to tweak it. It would be a matter of testing and tweaking until you get that particular system of your life just right, and keep on tweaking it until it is perfect.

Of course there could be two or three sub-systems that work hand in hand to affect the overall harmony of the whole system. So you might think your diet is not that great and you keep putting on a few pounds no matter how little you eat, but it could be you’re eating late at night and hardly anything during the day. This means that your body is storing fat during the day as it thinks you’re not eating enough and you’re releasing fat at night, but not as much due to your expanding less energy when you are sleeping.

Looking at all your sub-systems

When you start to look at all the systems of your life in turn and drill down on them and look at the sub-systems you can really get a handle on the things that you need to do to improve your overall life.

This is a just brief overview of looking at the systems in your life and I hope it makes sense and is useful in your life.
