The Story of STUFF


Living in a materialistic society, it is no wonder we are generating such aberrations as this “circuit of the STUFF in nature” that almost competes with the “circuit of water in nature”. This video shows an incredible situation that does not show our collective intelligence, but rather shows the result of where the game of desires leads. As long as we try to fulfill the desires with other desires we will end up becoming consumers that feed the chain of production and consumption in order to make the fulfillment of more desires possible.
The grotesqueness of this situation is that nowadays people are no longer defined by their aspirations, by their deeds, by their revelations and understandings; instead they are defined in most situations by their STUFF. E.g. If one has an IPOD he/she already belongs to a certain group of people as we are even talking about the objects that define our personality. From the status of being tools used to express our personality in actions and achievements, in the materialistic society objects are promoted to the status of parts of our personality. In ancient times a warrior was not great because of the color of his armor, but because of his heroic deeds on the battlefield. Nowadays a man defines his personality by the brand of car he drives and the size of the gold chain around his neck. Our STUFF becomes more important than our principles, ideas, feelings and beliefs.
Opposing this tendency will make you a social outcast, a communist or a fanatic that wants to destroy the welfare system. This is also one of the points that those who want to maintain control over society will use to attack the spiritual teachers, making them look like enemies of the “social evolution”. Looking closer we can see that evolution in this moment in time is more an evolution of material production, people very often evolve in the same rhythm the frequency of the microprocessors is rising and the screens become flatter. We can say that human evolution nowadays is obsolete and people suffer a process of “technological upgrade”.
The science of yoga science teaches the principle of APARIGRAHA – non accumulation or simplicity – one of the ten guidelines that regulate the spiritual life. It is one of the most ignored moral principles of the modern time in which people have become just consumers. The shopping mania relates to the gross level of consciousness in which many people indulge, becoming increasingly robotic while turning their homes into private storing rooms. APARIGRAHA is a life principle that makes us understand the real value of each object and teaches us not to become the objects we posses, but to keep only those objects that meet our needs.
Of course this attitude will not be so convenient for the present setting of society since the whole economical machine depends on consumption and not on real needs. Therefore the implementation of such a principle in the life of many might slightly shake our economic and social setting and also the expectations and demands will not be the same. Usually the people who benefit most from this system tell us that if we stop consuming all the welfare will disappear. In truth, we will not only stop consuming but we will start practicing APARIGRAHA, and we will only use the objects we need. The system will not be the same AND NEITHER WILL OUR NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS and in the end we will have all that we need for our life from the new perspective.
The solution this movie offers will be truly successful in the case of a genuine rising of the level of consciousness beyond humanity’s current level. This is only made possible by a lot of people living their lives after a certain set of principles and this is mostly possible when people know the proper exercises that help to increase the level of attention and detachment above the game of desires. Yoga is such a system that gives the practical means for such a fundamental transformation that can penetrate to all the level of society.
Enjoy a good wake up call….

Esoteric Agenda


Esoteric Agenda is a movie which speaks a lot about elements of esotericism; it is in an excellent movie to learn how to read all the symbols. However, in my opinion not all the elements are revealed, it doesn’t completely enter into the whole picture of power and manipulation by certain initiates who know about different esoteric elements, but some of these connections are very well made.

Esoteric Agenda is actually a very good exercise for learning how to look at an event from an esoteric point of view, from the point of view of an initiate. So I would even recommend this movie as a guide for analyzing the happenings which occur around us with the eyes of an initiate! Actually a person who knows these symbols should be able to decode them and the esoteric elements around them in the same manner. However, there are a lot of people who have learned from books or different communities which contain such esoteric information, they have learnt esoteric elements but they never apply them in the daily life. If people would apply in their daily life, at least as an exercise, all the esoteric information which they know, making intelligent correlations and connections between different symbols and different elements of their life which appear to be separated, but as we know are connected at the subtle level due to the law of resonance, synchronicities would appear, which are visible for initiates. Then their life will appear completely different and there will be thousands and thousands of people which will be able to cut through the illusion, to cut through this smoke screen which is created by the people who hold the keys of power who also have esoteric initiations and create the smoke screen especially to divert the attention of other people.
So the situation will be much better if people will use this information in the way that Esoteric Agenda uses them. Therefore, I especially recommend seeing this movie as an exercise for decoding the reality from an esoteric point of view.
Of course I am not saying that the point of view presented in the movie is the only point of view, there are also other possibilities to connect and I even invite the viewers to make other connections starting from what they say in the movie, to add more connections and to even write these connections here on the blog and to open up a dialogue for this esoteric view upon the world, as when we start to apply these esoteric elements in the daily life then what happens is that the emperor is suddenly revealed as ‘having no clothes!” – the conspiracy is revealed and all these strange manipulations are extremely simple things, they are so simple that people cannot imagine that they can exist in such way in their world, they cannot imagine it because they never analyse from the point of view of their esoteric information which they actually have, because they don’t exercise it. They just perform their esoteric practices on Sunday when they light a candle or go to church, having the impression that they have done something sacred and feel they are ok, but in reality people have the possibility to apply all the esoteric elements in a larger extent! Especially the knowledge about the law of resonance and the knowledge about the law of correspondence which is says ”was is here in the microcosm of my being is everywhere in the universe”, these things can be applied and we can filter the reality through that and in this way the new reality will appear very simple to us.

I am waiting for your contribution to the esoteric work .. enjoy the movie



The Magic Power of Laughter


  

The power of laughter and the harmony at the level of Manipura chakra

“He [or she] who laughs, lasts!”

 

Laughter is a specific manifestation of the energies that exist at the level of Manipura chakra and has a lot of nuances that range from the healthy tonic laughter to the sarcastic and sardonic (grimly mocking or cynical) laughter that is usually associated with the so-called black humor.

Laughter is an expressive and emotional act that engages facial movements, frantic respiration, rhythmic sounds, and, finally, pleasurable exaltation. Laughter is a specific form of human communication.


Laughter can be provoked by different situations with the condition that they will lead to affective contrast. It has a cathartic function, releasing the tensions that are provoked by inner or outer contradictions. These contradictions usually accumulate at the level of Manipura chakra because at this level we can decide to follow a certain decision that can sometimes go against the fashionable or more pleasing reaction.

 

Laughter is an expression of a release of tensions, which has a deeply purifying effect at the level of Manipura chakra. This purifying effect involves the energies that generally mean the ego – the false personality. For this reason, when a person feels self important and has a superiority complex, laughing AT that person will have a very powerful impact, sometimes even comparable to the effect of an earthquake at the level of personality.

 

In fact, the expression “to laugh with all your heart” is an expression of an important esoteric truth. When laughing, the movements of the abdomen, and also the subtle effects of this activity, unblock the energies at the level of Manipura chakra and sublimate them to the level of Anahata chakra, the spiritual heart. When we laugh very relaxededly and allow ourselves to go into this experience of laughing in full awareness, after a while we will remain silent and centered in the heart, feeling a warm sensation of deep affection that radiates from the middle of the chest, simultaneously with the pleasant sensations that come from the abdominal area that it is now relaxed and feeling good. Healthy laughter is a powerful tool for experiencing the phenomenon of sublimation that takes place between Manipura and Anahata chakras.

In this simple and wonderful video we can see the purifying and energizing effect of laughter, together with its sublimating effect. In the end, the person who began the laughter wears a smile that is calm and deeply affectionate. He looks to all the people around him with deep love, showing the sublimated energy at the affective level following a good laugh.

 

And let’s not forget what the poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote:

Joy, temperance and repose,
Slam the door on the doctor’s nose.

 

There is an old saying, “Your day goes the way the corners of your mouth turn”!

Medical research has measured extensively the movements we make with our face and our entire body when we smile and when we laugh. The research concludes that it is possible for all 600 muscles of the body to move during laughter – thus laughter has been playfully labeled by some as a form of “internal aerobics”.

 

People who are characterized by inhibitions and stress avoid laughing whole-heartedly. They laugh “discreetly” and attentively, willing to give the impression of perfect control whereas in reality they are hiding an almost perfect “constipation”. For such people, sometimes laughter can be annoying and even a reason for anger and sadness. Such a person feels provoked by laughter. This is the reason why a whole-hearted laugh can create miracles where hours of attempted relaxation failed. 

Laughter can help us “wipe the slate clean” by inspiring new perceptions, new ways of thinking, a change of belief, and the revelation of previously unimagined possibilities. All this is possible due to the processes of sublimation that laughter easily makes possible. Laughter inspires lateral thinking. Laughter is also a good antidote to the over-seriousness that increases during times of stress and anxiety (another aspect – together with formalism – of a disharmonious Svadhisthana chakra). Over-seriousness blows up problems; laughter blows them away! The psychologist and mystic, Alan Watts, once wrote, “The whole art of life is in knowing how to transform anxiety into laughter”. 

 

At best, laughter helps us to build bridges. Victor Borge, the American entertainer, once wrote, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people”. Wholehearted laughter teaches us love as a way to reuse the Manipura energies in order to awaken the heart and to go into a fight or fight mode.

As E. E. Cummings said, “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter” which is the same conclusion we have drawn here. Enjoy!

 



The Big Picture….


The Big Picture is a very good documentary that combines different elements; it is excellent for ringing the alarm bells. It is not a documentary that delves deeply into the essence of the problems, but one that makes connections and puts you in the position to see more deeply into the problems and the situations.

The Big Picture is also a very good documentary for those who want to cut through the enormous quantity of conspiracy theories and information that is floating on the market. A lot of the information is put out there to create confusion, some simply being speculation by all types of people who want to look interesting, but in fact they don’t know what they are talking about!! And other information simply is genuine!

In The Big Picture they make very interesting correlations and have the common sense to say that this is a certain point of view without trying to push you in one direction. They just show you different perspectives, giving the viewer the freedom to choose to combine this information or to draw their own conclusions…

‘this is a possibility, think about it, think that maybe today things are happening for a certain reason and forget about all these conspiracies from 2012 about Martian invasion or whatever strange things you might dream about’.

Actually this is a very important point, this is what distinguishes this documentary from many others, because in a certain way it follows the same fundamental idea as different spiritual systems – the suggestion of going back to the ‘present moment’.

They don’t say that the present moment is ‘like this’ or ‘like that’, they just say go back to the present moment, observe the present moment, be aware of what happens to you now, not in ten or twenty years, but what happens to you in this moment as this is the most important aspect and here is the seed of what happens in the future.

Actually this is a very important key element. Indeed there are a lot of speculations and manipulations out there on the market because people are naïve and they go in all kinds of directions, trying especially to live in the future and to decode the future, but they use this as a distraction and an escape from their present situation. This is the method the manipulators use for manipulating the masses; by making them concerned or to dream about the future, so they don’t observe what is happening with them in the ‘now’.

The Big Picture is a very good movie because it has carries a practical spiritual message – to go back to the ‘present moment’ and to look at what happens to you now. From this perspective it is a unique movie. Beyond this, it is a movie that is documented from the media, it is not a movie that brings all kinds of ‘let’s say’ information from scientific sources or something, it’s a movie with information from the media, from what you could see on TV, but what you could see on TV exactly if you are attentive now, and this is also a very good aspect of The Big Picture.
