A tale of Two Seas</div>
<div class="yiv2558000204" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6757" style="line-height: 1.22em;">
<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Sitting in the Geography class in school, I remember how fascinated I was when we were being taught all about the Dead Sea.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea (and as my Geography teacher pointed out, if you understood that, it would guarantee 4 marks in the term paper!)<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Its so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as 35% - almost 10 times the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead sea. And hence the name: Dead Sea.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> While the Dead Sea has remained etched in my memory, I don't seem to recall learning about the Sea of Galilee in my school Geography lesson. So when I heard about the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea and the tale of the two seas - I was intrigued.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea. Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan. And yet, they are very, very different. Unlike the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee is pretty, resplendent with rich, colorful marine life There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too. In fact, the sea of Galilee is home to<i style="line-height: 1.22em;"> over</i> thirty different types of fishes.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Same region, same source of water, and yet while one sea is full of life, the other is dead. How come?<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Here apparently why. The River Jordan flows into the Sea of Galilee and then flows out. The water simply passes through the Sea of Galilee in and then out - and that keeps the Sea healthy and vibrant, teeming with marine life.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> But the Dead Sea is so far below the mean sea level, that it has no outlet. The water flows in from the river Jordan, but does not flow out. There are no outlet streams. It is estimated that over 7 million tons of water evaporate from the Dead Sea every day. Leaving it salty. Too full of minerals. And unfit for any marine life.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> The Dead Sea takes water from the River Jordan, and holds it. It does not give. Result? No life at all.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Think about it.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Life is not just about getting. Its about giving. We all need to be a bit like the Sea of Galilee.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> We are fortunate to get wealth, knowledge, love and respect. But if we don't learn to give, we could all end up like the Dead Sea. The love and the respect, the wealth and the knowledge could all evaporate. Like the water in the Dead Sea.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> If we get the Dead Sea mentality of merely taking in more water, more money, more everything the results can be disastrous.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />Good idea to make sure that in the sea of your own life, you have outlets. Many outlets. For love and wealth - and everything else that you get in your life. Make sure you don't just get, you give too.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Open the taps. And you'll open the floodgates to happiness.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> Make that a habit. To share. To give.<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /> And experience life. Experience the magic!</div>

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Dear Friends,</div>
<div class="yui_3_7_2_20_1367391199811_87" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
I am pleased to share Grace with you.It is about Allowing the Energies of this vast cosmos to serve us. We have to Think our Oneness with this Universe, our common abode. We just have to go beyond all Limiting thoughts and drink off the nectar of Abundance, the abiding quality of our common homeland.</div>
<div class="yui_3_7_2_20_1367391199811_88" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_20_1367391199811_117"> Being out of Grace is like being thirsty in the middle of a mountain river,and wondering when a drinking cup will appear. Just put your face in the flowing water and drink.Being out of Grace is like having the most advanced smartphone, but the battery is dead because you forgot to recharge it.</span></div>

Get real, my friend.The days of sleepwalking and negligient living is such a drag. Time to push the envelope.</div>

Dear Friends,</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6249" style="background-color: transparent;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6248"> The attachment is extracted from Deepak Chopra's latest book, Power freedom Grace.It is a must read.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6268"> It explains how we are all united by the Underlying Field of Intelligence that manifests as the infinite variety of the Universe. The same unified field manifests subjectively as the Mind and objectively as the world of material objects.Our essential being is neither the body nor the mind, but the Source of both.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6252" style="background-color: transparent;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6251"> We are actually Body-Mind, and our Mind extends beyond our Body into the whole Universe, as part of that same Unified Field.The Body is made of atoms which, in turn, are made of particles which whirl around at dizzying speeds around huge empty spaces in a Infinite Void. These particles emerge from the Void, collide, engage in their cosmic dances, and go back to the Void.Modern science is authenticating what the ancient Scriptures have long said. We come from the Void, engage in our dramas of living and then merge in the same Void.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6271" style="background-color: transparent;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6270"> The sub atomic particles are actually packets of information and energy. These have a Mind because their movements cannot be predicted a priori.Therefore our Body-Mind is actually a pulsating pattern of intelligence. It is a dynamic river of energy and information. Radioactive isotope studies show that the Body replaces 98% of all its atoms in less than a year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
These latest studies of modern science proves that there is nothing inevitable about anything.As Intelligent entities, we can create anything. Our common thoughts are the creator of all our realities and experience.We just have to be aware of our interrelatedness with everything and then LIVE that harmony with optimism and pulsating energy.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6254" style="background-color: transparent;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_6253"> Let us be kinder to ourselves, instead of being bogged down by limiting thoughts.And then await the unfolding of magic in our lives and, indeed, of our common life in this beautiful planet that we inhabit.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5481" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.515625px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5482" style="line-height: 1.22em;"> I'm again pleased to share this important article with you. Small variations in our attitudes go a long way in determining how successful we will be in our lives.In my mind, I have no confusion that Abundance is the abiding quality of this Universe and we can command the elements to achieve anything.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5479" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.515625px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5480" style="line-height: 1.22em;"> We all want money, good positions,good health and loving relationships. But the rub is that too often we are in a Complaining mode. Thereby we actually decline the energies coming our way instead of receiving them.This energy of Resistance effectively blocks also those things we ardently want.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5478" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.515625px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5477" style="line-height: 1.22em;"> Secondly, we are terribly blinded by limiting thoughts. This is possible, this is not possible.We have to replace our Cribbings and limiting thoughts with the energy of Abundance.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5396" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.515625px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5395" style="line-height: 1.22em;"> We are all receivers.There is no shame in receiving.It is only the inbreath before the outbreath.There is nothing to give in return for receiving the light of the sun or the gravity that keeps us on earth or the rain that brings life. It is simply the natural flow of things.Abundance is the law of this Universe of which we are an integral part.So instead of being selective, maybe its time to allow ALL energies to come in without resistance.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5476" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.515625px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367391199811_5475" style="line-height: 1.22em;"> And thereby enjoy your life to the fullest.In being,first, happy ourselves,we are going to spread happiness all around.The hard fact is that, being such unhappy entities,we are only radiating unhappiness now.Let us break lose from our unhappiness prisons.</span></div>

Freeman Dyson, 88, is a pioneer quantum physicist, pure mathematician, metaphysicist, beady examiner of such givens as global warming and tireless explorer of our future as bio-engineering space colonisers. A Fellow of the Royal Society for 60 years, he left Britain at the age of 23 because he believed “Americans held the future in their hands and that the smart thing for me to do would be to join them.” When he took up his post at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Einstein was still working there. Startling propositions and inconvenient arguments are the signature of this human neutrino, widely regarded as one of the Nobel Committee’s glaring omissions.</div>

His father, Sir George Dyson, was a composer and director of the Royal College of Music. Freeman has six children, including George, a historian of science, who is about to publish a history of the digital age, and Esther, an internet analyst and entrepreneur dubbed “the first lady of cyberspace”.</div>

I e-mailed to ask him: (1) why he remained hard at work; (2) what were his strengths and weaknesses now compared with earlier in his career; and (3) what advice would he give to those who have been working for (a) one year, and (b) 30 years? This was his reply, received the next day:</div>

Thank you very much for your friendly invitation. I am delighted to share with Her Majesty the distinction of hanging on longer than expected. Here are brief answers to your questions.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_13260" style="border: 0px currentcolor; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1. I continue working because I agree with Sigmund Freud’s definition of mental health. To be healthy means to love and to work. Both activities are good for the soul, and one of them also helps to pay for the groceries.</div>
<div style="border: 0px currentcolor; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
2. In my younger days my work as a scientist was deep and narrow. Now, as I grow old, my work grows broader and shallower. As a young man, I solved technical problems of interest only to a few specialists. As an old man, I write books about human affairs of interest to a broad public. In both halves of my life, I tried to make the best use of my limited abilities.</div>
<div style="border: 0px currentcolor; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
3. (a). Advice to people at the beginning of their careers: do not imagine that you have to know everything before you can do anything. My own best work was done when I was most ignorant. Grab every opportunity to take responsibility and do things for which you are unqualified.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_13262" style="border: 0px currentcolor; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
(b). Advice to people at the middle of their careers: do not be afraid to switch careers and try something new. As my friend the physicist Leo Szilard said (number nine in his list of ten commandments): “Do your work for six years; but in the seventh, go into solitude or among strangers, so that the memory of your friends does not hinder you from being what you have become.”</div>

Now I look forward to reading what other survivors have to say. Thank you again for including me. <br />Yours sincerely<br />Freeman Dyson</div>

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10585" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10586">Dear Friends,</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10574" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10573"> Today, on Women's Day, I want to draw your attention to this strange paradox.This phenomenon has been understood by many feminists. In 1991, Naomi Wolf, the perceptive American writer, wrote the book, The Beauty Myth.By this time, American women had suffered a decade long plague of eating disorders thanks to the job requirement, none for the male employees, of looking beautiful and youthful.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10584" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10583"> The beauty myth is that there is an objective and universal quality of beauty,imperative for women but not for men.And it is a myth. But when women fall prey to such lies, they become tools in the hands of vested interests telling them what to do,and what not to do.The horrific effects of this beauty propaganda is for all to see.The cosmetic surgery and beauty industry use fake science to sell pricey and useless products.The weight control cult has ballooned,affecting the growth of impressionable young girls.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10591" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10590"> Its time our women understood that there's a flourishing industry to keep them ignorant and frivolous so that they don't compete for the highest paying jobs, still dominated by men.It is for our young girls to firmly understand that they must go all out to develop themselves so as to build a wholesome generation rather than to be dedicated to their own beauty or to idle pleasures.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10593" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_10592"> This battle remains to be fought. And this day let us remind ourselves of this responsibility, and the exhilarating possibilities that might open if half of the human race understand the sinister male propaganda against them.</span></div>

I want to give you the truth, Match Bearer. If you're holding light, no darkness or dark energy is going to affect you. You're going to walk into that place, open the door, and do your work. And while you're there, you are saying: "Thank you, God, I have a job. Thank you, it's here for now, because wherever I go, I'm going to make a difference." <br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Some say it's impossible to make a difference at work. They again say, "You don't know my work." Oh, how 3D of you! You don't know that the light you carry creates tolerance, appreciation and love? It creates the ability to share and listen with care. It changes the planet. <br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Some of those around you may eventually come to you with their issues and their problems. You might sit and ask, "I wonder why they want to share it with me?" Perhaps it's because they intuitively see your light; maybe because they see your tolerance; maybe you're the only one who will listen to them, and in the process, you share love. <br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />In the process of them being next to you, you love them. And maybe it's the only love they're going to get that day or that week or that month or even that year, dear Match Bearer. <br clear="none" /><br clear="none" /><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_9265" style="color: black;"><b id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_9264">~ KRYON, through Lee Carroll </b></span></div>

Contrary to popular belief, happiness doesn’t come from fame, fortune, other people, or material possessions. Rather, it comes from within. The richest person in the world could be miserable while a homeless person could be right outside, smiling and content with their life. Happy people are happy because they <i id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7929" style="line-height: 1.22em;">make</i> themselves happy. They maintain a positive outlook on life and remain at peace with themselves.</span></div>

Holding a grudge has a lot of detrimental effects on your wellbeing, including increased depression, anxiety, and stress. Why let anyone who has wronged you have power over you? If you let go of all your grudges, you’ll gain a clear conscience and enough energy to enjoy the good things in life.</span></div>

<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">2. Treat everyone with kindness.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that being kind makes you happier? Every time you perform a selfless act, your brain produces serotonin, a hormone that eases tension and lifts your spirits. Not only that, but treating people with love, dignity, and respect also allows you to build stronger relationships.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7933" style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">

A problem is viewed as a drawback, a struggle, or an unstable situation while a challenge is viewed as something positive like an opportunity, a task, or a dare. Whenever you face an obstacle, try looking at it as a challenge.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">There’s a popular saying that goes something like this: “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.” You will have a deeper sense of contentment if you count your blessings instead of yearning for what you don’t have.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">5. Dream big.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">People who get into the habit of dreaming big are more likely to accomplish their goals than those who don’t. If you dare to dream big, your mind will put itself in a focused and positive state.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">6. Don’t sweat the small stuff.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Happy people ask themselves, “Will this problem matter a year from now?” They understand that life’s too short to get worked up over trivial situations. Letting things roll off your back will definitely put you at ease to enjoy the more important things in life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">

As fun as gossiping is, it usually leaves you feeling guilty and resentful. Saying nice things about other people encourages you to think positive, non-judgmental thoughts.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">8. Never make excuses.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Benjamin Franklin once said, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” Happy people don’t make excuses or blame others for their own failures in life. Instead, they own up to their mistakes and, by doing so, they proactively try to change for the better.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">9. Get absorbed into the present.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Happy people don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future. They savor the present. They let themselves get immersed in whatever they’re doing at the moment. Stop and smell the roses.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">10.

<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Have you noticed that a lot of successful people tend to be early risers? Waking up at the same time every morning stabilizes your circadian rhythm, increases productivity, and puts you in a calm and centered state.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">11. Avoid social comparison.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7940" style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">

If you think you’re better than someone else, you gain an unhealthy sense of superiority. If you think someone else is better than you, you end up feeling bad about yourself. You’ll be happier if you focus on your own progress and praise others on theirs.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">12. Choose friends wisely.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>

That’s why it’s important to surround yourself with optimistic people who will encourage you to achieve your goals. The more positive energy you have around you, the better you will feel about yourself.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">13. Never seek approval from others.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Happy people don’t care what others think of them. They follow their own hearts without letting naysayers discourage them. They understand that it’s impossible to please everyone. Listen to what people have to say, but never seek anyone’s approval but your own.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">14. Take the time to listen.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Talk less; listen more. Listening keeps your mind open to others’ wisdoms and outlooks on the world. The more intensely you listen, the quieter your mind gets, and the more content you feel.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">A lonely person is a miserable person. Happy people understand how important it is to have strong, healthy relationships. Always take the time to see and talk to your family, friends, or significant other.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">16. Meditate.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Meditating silences your mind and helps you find inner peace. You don’t have to be a zen master to pull it off. Happy people know how to silence their minds anywhere and anytime they need to calm their nerves.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Junk food makes you sluggish, and it’s difficult to be happy when you’re in that kind of state. Everything you eat directly affects your body’s ability to produce hormones, which will dictate your moods, energy, and mental focus. Be sure to eat foods that will keep your mind and body in good shape.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Studies have shown that exercise raises happiness levels just as much as Zoloft does. Exercising also boosts your self-esteem and gives you a higher sense of self-accomplishment.</span></div>

<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">19. Live minimally.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>

Some studies have concluded that Europeans are a lot happier than Americans are, which is interesting because they live in smaller homes, drive simpler cars, and own fewer items.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7991" style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">

The truth will set you free. Being honest improves your mental health and builds others’ trust in you. Always be truthful, and never apologize for it.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7988" style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">

They don’t let others tell them how they should live their lives. Being in complete control of one’s own life brings positive feelings and a great sense of self-worth.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7985" style="background-color: #bcc5c1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 1.22em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;">22. Accept what cannot be changed.</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>

Instead of obsessing over how unfair life is, just focus on what you can control and change it for the better.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7356" style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7389" style="font-size: small;">People all over the world are </span>reacting with shock, disbelief and also relief at last week’s announcement that the New Age has decided to go into retirement.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7391">
“Was it something we did?” sobbed Rainbowchild Dewdrop Flower into her organic coconut milk chai, outside her tipi here in Nevada County, California. “Did we not chant fervently enough? Were our prayer flags not plentiful enough? Were our affirmations too predictable and clichéd?”</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7394">
In fact, the New Age came of age in the late ’60s, and, just like many other baby boomers, is ready to collect Social Security and to retire to Key West, Florida. The New Age has just gotten old, that’s all. Ol’ New Age plans to live out the rest of its years hanging out in all-you-can-eat steak and shrimp bars, and drinking margaritas during Happy Hour. “I’ve been in this gig way too long, bro,” said New Age recently to a close confidante. “Heck, even my inner child is married with kids and a dog and shit now. I tell ya, I’ve eaten enough tofu and sprouts, and worn enough tie-dye for one life time. I deserve to live out the rest of my days in peace. Nah, forget peace. I’m ready to be loud and gross.”</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7395">
So how does the announcement of New Age’s retirement affect the average recovering hippie, like you or me?</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7396">
Here is a handy quick-tip guide to how last week’s announcement might affect your daily routine.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7397">
1. Moving forwards, “Howerya Doin,” “Aloha,” “ Wazzurp Dawg,” “How Do You Do?” and “Namaste” are all considered to be equally reverential means of greeting anybody.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7398">
</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7399">
2. If you’ve been living on a diet of brown rice, seaweed, Bragg’s Amino Acid and coconut water, the word’s out, you can relax now. New scientific studies reveal that even eating recycled cardboard can be good for your health, if you stop worrying, and eat what is in front of you with gratitude.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7400">
3. If you spent the last years trying to manifest “prosperity,” “abundance,” or “financial freedom,” the game plan has officially changed. More than 2 billion people live on less than a dollar a day. So if you are a lucky dog, with a warm place to sleep, food to eat and friends around you, your next step is to think about how to help other people.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7401">
4. If you’ve been channeling Archangel Michael, the Pleiades, or Elvis, its time to cut it out. From</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7402">
here forward your responsibility is simply to connect the words that come out of your mouth with the thoughts and feelings that are passing inside of you. Codeword: honesty. Known to lead to: intimacy.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7403">
<div>
</div>
<div>
5. If you spent the last several decades immersed in the traditions and religion of a culture other than the one into which you were born, its time to get back to our roots. For example, for many of us the Lord’s prayer, Psalm 23, or Shakespeare may be worth a revisit. If you are Jewish, call you mother.</div>
<div>
6. If you’ve been collecting eagle feathers, owl feathers or rabbits feet, please return them immediately. Word on the street is that the eagles are getting chilly and pissed off.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7415">
7. If you are entertaining hopes of getting chummy with visitors on a UFO, fuggedaboutit. A recent survey of 1037 randomly selected aliens, conducted by Pew Research, asked who they would be most likely to visit, if wanting more contact with human beings. From the four multiple-choice options, 63% selected Nobel prize-winning scientists. 19% selected elected leaders of nations. 17% chose leaders of indigenous peoples. And 0.8% selected people holding hands and humming.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7414">
8. If you’ve developed a fondness for spending time with people of a “high vibration,” or have been avoiding people with “negative energy,” this will no longer be necessary. Your mission on earth will be accomplished here by paying close attention to whoever happens to be right in front of you.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7413">
9. If you’ve been collecting crystals or other sacred objects, you can expand your horizons. With the retirement of the New Age, any object whatsoever will become immediately sacred when you look at it with fresh eyes.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7412">
10. Most important. Listen up, people. If you’ve been participating in drumming circles after <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1365495496_0">10 PM</span>within a mile of anyone trying to sleep, please stop. Please, please, I beg you please, stop. It’s 2 o’clock in the f**king morning, dude.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7411">
Of course everyone had a lot of unanswered questions about what comes next. We’ve got space just for a few of them here.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7410">
</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7409">
Question: Does this mean I can get a refund on my aura-balancing organic Chi enhancer, attuned to dolphin mating sounds?</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7408">
Answer: No.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7407">
Question: So who is in fact the true Avataar come to save planet Earth?</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7406">
Answer: You are. Splash some cold water on your face, and get busy.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7405">
Question: Now that the New Age is officially over, what is the next evolutionary step for humanity?</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_7404">

<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Dear Avinash Sahay,</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6803" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />I've been talking a lot recently about the three core obstacles to our evolutionary progress.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6802" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />This was the main focus of my recent online seminar, and I also emailed you a few days ago elaborating on one of them: the hardwiring of our evolutionary past. </span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6801" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Today I'm writing to share another key piece of the puzzle that I've seen trip up many people on a spiritual or personal growth path. And, more importantly, what we can do to move beyond it.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6798" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />In my recent <i id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6800">Activating the Impulse of Evolution</i> seminar, I suggested something that I hope is an exciting prospect for many of you (it certainly is for me). I proposed that dramatic and radical change IS possible for human beings. </span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6799" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />I explained how, with the right process and approach, we can clear even the most tenacious inner hurdles to become the human beings we want and need to be.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6814" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />We can take that big of a leap.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6815" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />I not only believe this. I've seen it. Profound, life-transforming spiritual liberation is accessible. It's not only <i>possible</i> in this lifetime, but is in fact <i>well within reach</i> for anyone of reasonably sound mind and stable character.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />But there's an important ingredient needed to crack the old "code" so we can do it: <b>motivation</b>. </span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Once we've become aware of the most essential roadblocks to personal and cultural change, <i>where do we get the motivation to move beyond them?</i></span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />One of the crucial reasons that radical evolution beyond ego doesn't happen, even for earnest seekers, is this:</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />For most of us, <i>the <b>context</b> for our spiritual path is just too small. </i></span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />In a word, it's still about <i>us</i>--our own fulfillment, our own happiness, even our own enlightenment.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />It's not that we're selfish people. Indeed, most spiritual seekers are among the most selfless people on the planet. </span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />The problem is that we've all been steeped in a contemporary spiritual subculture that sees the entire purpose of following a spiritual path as personal. It tells us that the reason for working on spiritual growth is so that we can live happier, more fulfilled, more peaceful lives.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Our own comfort and contentment seems like a reasonable enough goal. But as long as our own happiness is <i>all</i> we're seeking, we'll never awaken the depth of spiritual passion and conviction required to propel us into genuine evolution beyond ego.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />That impetus only arises powerfully enough when we realize that the spiritual path is <i>not</i> about us, but rather is about participating in something far greater than ourselves.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />To get a taste of what I'm talking about, imagine for a moment that the fate of the entire human race rested on your shoulders alone. That humanity's evolution out of brute self-interest depended entirely on <i>your</i> willingness to transform your consciousness.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />What if you knew that the human race could advance past its smallness and negative conditioning --if <i>you</i> only became an exemplar of humanity's highest potential for the world?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Imagine that for you, <i>evolving beyond ego became an evolutionary imperative</i>.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Would you approach your path any differently? Would the energy you brought to your spiritual practice intensify? Would the quality of awareness and care with which you approached your interactions with others become more profound?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Would you find yourself reaching with inner muscles you didn't even know you had to actually stay awake to the depth you've tasted in your most profound spiritual moments?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br /><b>If you knew it all rested on you, would you have any choice but to change?</b></span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />The Indian sage Ramana Maharshi once said that the spiritual aspirant must want liberation like a drowning person wants air.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Why? Because the challenges of authentic spiritual growth and transformation are so great that most of us will choose to continue suffering in our smallness, rather than feel the pain of allowing that smallness to die forever.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6816" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br /><br />But how many of us would stay there if we realized that it wasn't only our <i>own</i> suffering we were perpetuating? What if our petty indulgences were perpetuating <i>the suffering of the entire human race?</i></span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Now, you may be thinking to yourself, "That's a nice thought experiment. Sure, it makes me realize I could be more earnest on my path, but what does it really have to do with me? I'm no megalomaniac. I know that my growth and evolution alone isn't enough to liberate the human race."</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_6817" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />And it's here that I would ask you to reconsider.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Modern science has in recent decades been verifying what the ancient traditions intuited long ago: that, in both tangible and mysterious ways, we are all interconnected. Any one of us can have a profound effect on the whole. </span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Add to that the reality that we are evolving beings living in an evolving universe. We are all part of a grand, cosmic evolutionary process. Then the question of our obligation to the whole starts to cut close to the bone.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />To reframe my earlier question: What if you realized that the entire human endeavor, the evolution of consciousness itself, depended on your willingness to evolve your own consciousness?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />How would it affect the choices you make every day if you knew that in a very real sense, those choices were either contributing to the evolution of the whole--or holding it back?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />At this time when it seems that our very future depends on our willingness to evolve as a species, would you have any choice but to act in alignment with the greatest evolutionary good?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />The point I'm trying to make is that when we take a closer look at what spiritual work and growth is actually <i>for</i>, it quickly becomes clear that the path of awakening is <i>not</i> primarily about freeing ourselves from suffering or securing our own happiness.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Sure, that's a nice by-product. But, as long as that's <i>all</i> we're seeking, we probably won't get very far.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Where the spiritual path really begins to get interesting is when we recognize that transforming ourselves in the deepest possible way is in fact an evolutionary imperative, with profound consequences far beyond ourselves.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />If we begin to embrace the fact that our lives are not simply our own to do with as we please--that in everything we do, we are in fact accountable to the Whole--something truly miraculous begins to happen.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Faced with the palpable responsibility to evolve for a greater good, we find that we suddenly have access to a seemingly infinite source of energy, intention, passion and courage to confront whatever challenges present themselves on our path.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />What's more, all of the personal issues and problems--all of the fears and doubts and resistances that once seemed so insurmountable--begin to seem a lot less significant.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Why? Because our attention is now captivated by something much bigger than ourselves. </span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />This is the power of context. We see our individual concerns, the worries we fret over day to day, from a different vantage point. Held up against this larger picture and greater purpose, those concerns suddenly seem very small indeed.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Realizing "it's not all about me," and ignited by a noble calling to participate in the grand adventure of conscious evolution, we find we no longer even want to give those worries the time of day.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />And in this freedom from self-concern, before long we discover that the deep inner peace and joy we were seeking all along has become the very ground we are walking on.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />To get a taste of the liberating context I'm pointing to, try the following experiments:</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br /><b>1) </b>Before you meditate or engage in any spiritual practice, take 10 minutes to reflect on the profound significance of your practice. Ask yourself:</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
</div>
<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="padding: 0px;">
</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Allow yourself to feel deeply into the most authentic answer you can find. Then, invite that deeper answer to come forward as a clear and present intention to engage your spiritual practice wholeheartedly, as if the universe depended on it. And engage your practice from this deeper intention.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Notice how this exercise impacts the quality of your spiritual practice.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br /><b>2) </b>When you encounter a challenging and emotionally charged situation in your life, before you respond, take a few minutes to ask yourself:</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />-What is the most enlightened or evolved response I could have in this situation?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />-Why is it important for my own evolution that I respond in the most enlightened, evolved way I can?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />-Why does God/evolution/humanity (your choice) need me to respond in the most enlightened, evolved way I can?</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Allow yourself to feel into the larger significance of your response to this challenging moment. Ground yourself in an intention to show up as an exemplar of humanity's potential. And then respond from this deeper intention.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />Notice how this approach changes your perspective on the situation and your ability to meet it.</span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br /><b>There is deep and powerful work that can be done to cultivate this perspective, to truly ground your life in this way of seeing--and even more importantly, acting.</b></span></div>
<div id="yiv544658421text-placeholder" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />If the possibility of participating in this adventure of conscious evolution inspires you, then I invite you to join me for a nine-week journey into an evolutionary relationship to life.</span></div>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">My first heresy says that all the fuss about global warming is grossly exaggerated. Here I am opposing the holy brotherhood of climate model experts and the crowd of deluded citizens who believe the numbers predicted by the computer models. Of course, they say, I have no degree in meteorology and I am therefore not qualified to speak. But I have studied the climate models and I know what they can do. The models solve the equations of fluid dynamics, and they do a very good job of describing the fluid motions of the atmosphere and the oceans. They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in. <b>The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand.</b> It is much easier for a scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer models, than to put on winter clothes and measure what is really happening outside in the swamps and the clouds. That is why the climate model experts end up believing their own models.<ul style="line-height: 1.5em; list-style: disc; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em; padding: 0px;">

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>The technologies which have had the most profound effects on human life are usually simple.</b> A good example of a simple technology with profound historical consequences is hay. Nobody knows who invented hay, the idea of cutting grass in the autumn and storing it in large enough quantities to keep horses and cows alive through the winter. All we know is that the technology of hay was unknown to the Roman Empire but was known to every village of medieval Europe. <b>Like many other crucially important technologies, hay emerged anonymously during the so-called Dark Ages.</b> According to the Hay Theory of History, the invention of hay was the decisive event which moved the center of gravity of urban civilization from the Mediterranean basin to Northern and Western Europe. The Roman Empire did not need hay because in a Mediterranean climate the grass grows well enough in winter for animals to graze. North of the Alps, great cities dependent on horses and oxen for motive power could not exist without hay. So <b>it was hay that allowed populations to grow and civilizations to flourish among the forests of Northern Europe.</b> Hay moved the greatness of Rome to Paris and London, and later to Berlin and Moscow and New York.</li>

To me, good works are more important than theology. We all know that religion has been historically, and still is today, a cause of great evil as well as great good in human affairs. … Religion amplifies the good and evil tendencies of individual souls.</div>

The great question for our time is, how to make sure that the continuing scientific revolution brings benefits to everybody rather than widening the gap between rich and poor. To lift up poor countries, and poor people in rich countries, from poverty, to give them a chance of a decent life, technology is not enough. Technology must be guided and driven by ethics if it is to do more than provide new toys for the rich.</div>

To me, good works are more important than theology. We all know that religion has been historically, and still is today, a cause of great evil as well as great good in human affairs. We have seen terrible wars and terrible persecutions conducted in the name of religion. We have also seen large numbers of people inspired by religion to lives of heroic virtue, bringing education and medical care to the poor, helping to abolish slavery and spread peace among nations. Religion amplifies the good and evil tendencies of individual souls.</b></li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>Religion will always remain a powerful force in the history of our species.

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">One of the great but less famous heroes of World War Two was Andre Trocme, the Protestant pastor of the village of Le Chambon sur Lignon in France, which sheltered and saved the lives of five thousand Jews under the noses of the Gestapo. Forty years later Pierre Sauvage, one of the Jews who was saved, recorded the story of the village in a magnificent documentary film with the title, "Weapons of the Spirit". The villagers proved that civil disobedience and passive resistance could be effective weapons, even against Hitler. Their religion gave them the courage and the discipline to stand firm. <b>Progress in religion means that, as time goes on, religion more and more takes the side of the victims against the oppressors.</b></li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>I am content to be one of the multitude of Christians who do not care much about the doctrine of the Trinity or the historical truth of the gospels. Both as a scientist and as a religious person, I am accustomed to living with uncertainty. Science is exciting because it is full of unsolved mysteries, and religion is exciting for the same reason</b>. The greatest unsolved mysteries are the mysteries of our existence as conscious beings in a small corner of a vast universe.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">My personal theology is described in the Gifford lectures that I gave at Aberdeen in Scotland in 1985, published under the title, <i>Infinite In All Directions</i>. Here is a brief summary of my thinking. The universe shows evidence of the operations of mind on three levels. The first level is elementary physical processes, as we see them when we study atoms in the laboratory. The second level is our direct human experience of our own consciousness. The third level is the universe as a whole. Atoms in the laboratory are weird stuff, behaving like active agents rather than inert substances. They make unpredictable choices between alternative possibilities according to the laws of quantum mechanics.<b>It appears that mind, as manifested by the capacity to make choices, is to some extent inherent in every atom. The universe as a whole is also weird, with laws of nature that make it hospitable to the growth of mind. I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.</b> God may be either a world-soul or a collection of world-souls. So I am thinking that atoms and humans and God may have minds that differ in degree but not in kind. <b>We stand, in a manner of speaking, midway between the unpredictability of atoms and the unpredictability of God.</b> Atoms are small pieces of our mental apparatus, and we are small pieces of God's mental apparatus. Our minds may receive inputs equally from atoms and from God. This view of our place in the cosmos may not be true, but it is compatible with the active nature of atoms as revealed in the experiments of modern physics. <b>I don't say that this personal theology is supported or proved by scientific evidence. I only say that it is consistent with scientific evidence.</b></li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>I do not claim any ability to read God's mind. I am sure of only one thing. When we look at the glory of stars and galaxies in the sky and the glory of forests and flowers in the living world around us, it is evident that God loves diversity. Perhaps the universe is constructed according to a principle of maximum diversity.</b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="line-height: 1.5em; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>The principle of maximum diversity says that the laws of nature, and the initial conditions at the beginning of time, are such as to make the universe as interesting as possible. As a result, life is possible but not too easy. Maximum diversity often leads to maximum stress. In the end we survive, but only by the skin of our teeth. This is the confession of faith of a scientific heretic. Perhaps I may claim as evidence for progress in religion the fact that we no longer burn heretics.</b></li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">All through our history, we have been changing the world with our technology. Our technology has been of two kinds, green and grey. Green technology is seeds and plants, gardens and vineyards and orchards, domesticated horses and cows and pigs, milk and cheese, leather and wool. Grey technology is bronze and steel, spears and guns, coal and oil and electricity, automobiles and airplanes and rockets, telephones and computers. Civilization began with green technology, with agriculture and animal-breeding, ten thousand years ago. Then, beginning about three thousand years ago, grey technology became dominant, with mining and metallurgy and machinery. For the last five hundred years, grey technology has been racing ahead and has given birth to the modern world of cities and factories and supermarkets.<br /><b>The dominance of grey technology is now coming to an end.</b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="line-height: 1.5em; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>Our grey technology of machines and computers will not disappear, but green technology will be moving ahead even faster.</b> Green technology can be cleaner, more flexible and less wasteful, than our existing chemical industries. A great variety of manufactured objects could be grown instead of made. Green technology could supply human needs with far less damage to the natural environment. And green technology could be a great equalizer, bringing wealth to the tropical areas of the world which have most of the sunshine, most of the human population, and most of the poverty. <b>I am saying that green technology could do all these good things, bringing wealth to the tropics, bringing economic opportunity to the villages, narrowing the gap between rich and poor. I am not saying that green technology will do all these good things. "Could" is not the same as "will". To make these good things happen, we need not only the new technology but the political and economic conditions that will give people all over the world a chance to use it. To make these things happen, we need a powerful push from ethics.</b> We need a consensus of public opinion around the world that the existing gross inequalities in the distribution of wealth are intolerable. In reaching such a consensus, religions must play an essential role. Neither technology alone nor religion alone is powerful enough to bring social justice to human societies, but technology and religion working together might do the job.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">The gospel of St. Matthew told of the angry Jesus driving the merchants and money-changers out of the temple, knocking over the tables of the money-changers and spilling their coins on the floor. Jesus was not opposed to capitalism and the profit motive, so long as economic activities were carried on outside the temple. In the parable of the talents, he praises the servant who used his master's money to make a profitable investment, and condemns the servant who was too timid to invest. But he draws a clear line at the temple door. Inside the temple, the ground belongs to God and profit-making must stop.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>In the time of Jesus and for many centuries afterwards, there was a free market in human bodies. The institution of slavery was based on the legal right of slave-owners to buy and sell their property in a free market. Only in the nineteenth century did the abolitionist movement, with Quakers and other religious believers in the lead, succeed in establishing the principle that the free market does not extend to human bodies.</b> The human body is God's temple and not a commercial commodity. And now in the twenty-first century, for the sake of equity and human brotherhood, we must maintain the principle that the free market does not extend to human genes. Let us hope that we can reach a consensus on this question without fighting another civil war.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Unfortunately a large number of people in many countries are strongly opposed to green technology, for reasons having little to do with the real dangers. It is important to treat the opponents with respect, to pay attention to their fears, to go gently into the new world of green technology so that neither human dignity nor religious conviction is violated. If we can go gently, we have a good chance of achieving within a hundred years the goals of ecological sustainability and social justice that green technology brings within our reach.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>I have five minutes left to give you a message to take home. The message is simple. "God forbid that we should give out a dream of our own imagination for a pattern of the world".</b>This was said by <a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Francis_Bacon" rel="nofollow" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Francis Bacon">Francis Bacon</a>, one of the founding fathers of modern science, almost four hundred years ago.

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>I am saying to modern scientists and theologians: don't imagine that our latest ideas about the Big Bang or the human genome have solved the mysteries of the universe or the mysteries of life. Here are Bacon's words again: "The subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of the senses and understanding".</b> In the last four hundred years, science has fulfilled many of Bacon's dreams, but it still does not come close to capturing the full subtlety of nature.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>To talk about the end of science is just as foolish as to talk about the end of religion. Science and religion are both still close to their beginnings, with no ends in sight.</b> Science and religion are both destined to grow and change in the millennia that lie ahead of us, perhaps solving some old mysteries, certainly discovering new mysteries of which we yet have no inkling.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">After sketching his program for the scientific revolution that he foresaw, Bacon ends his account with a prayer: "Humbly we pray that this mind may be steadfast in us, and that through these our hands, and the hands of others to whom thou shalt give the same spirit, thou wilt vouchsafe to endow the human family with new mercies". That is still a good prayer for all of us as we begin the twenty-first century.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but they look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><b>Trouble arises when either science or religion claims universal jurisdiction, when either religious dogma or scientific dogma claims to be infallible. Religious creationists and scientific materialists are equally dogmatic and insensitive. By their arrogance they bring both science and religion into disrepute.</b> The media exaggerate their numbers and importance. The media rarely mention the fact that the great majority of religious people belong to moderate denominations that treat science with respect, or the fact that the great majority of scientists treat religion with respect so long as religion does not claim jurisdiction over scientific questions.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">In the little town of Princeton where I live, we have more than twenty churches and at least one synagogue, providing different forms of worship and belief for different kinds of people. They do more than any other organizations in the town to hold the community together. Within this community of people, held together by religious traditions of human brotherhood and sharing of burdens, a smaller community of professional scientists also flourishes.</li>

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5736" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.515625px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5735" style="line-height: 1.22em;"><div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5734" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5788" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Do you ever wonder, What’s next?</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa20" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5742" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5741" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">After years (and lifetimes) of introspection, self-examination, searching for God and – finally – self-love and integration, what else is there for us to do? Many of us, myself included, have been committed to this journey of enlightenment for so long that we’re practically on autopilot, always looking for the next thing to discover, learn or fix about ourselves. And sometimes in that search we end up proving Kuthumi right when he said, “You don’t have problems, you’re just bored.” It’s almost as if we subconsciously manufacture “issues” and “challenges” so we have something to work on. But what if the work is done?</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa20" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5790" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5789" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">What if all that’s left is to allow and enjoy the life that unfolds beneath our feet?</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5744" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5743" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Last month I wrote about discovering my truest dream, and it <i style="line-height: 1.22em;">has </i>been coming true – a rebalanced body gently becoming a gracious and welcoming home for my soul. It also quickly became very clear that my next truest dream, after my <i style="line-height: 1.22em;">self, </i>is my home. A home, after all, is an extension of the body, and inviting Soul to make itself at home in the body has a close correlation to making Self at home in a physical house. It became crystal clear to me that it was time to finally take ownership of my own home, rather than rent from someone else with the constant threat of eviction (our landlord has been trying to sell this house for several years). It was time for my home to finally <i style="line-height: 1.22em;">belong to me</i>, but how could I make <i style="line-height: 1.22em;">this </i>dream a reality?? Of course I’ve wanted my own home for years and years, but it always seemed impossible. So that dream has been kept out there somewhere, waiting for ‘someday when everything works out.’ But now we’re being challenged to allow ‘someday’ to be right now – or else forget about it.</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5819" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5820" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Ever since this year began, I’ve felt a huge shift in the energies around us. Adamus’ messages have gone to new levels, my own everyday experiences have taken on a sense of ease and magic, and I can feel changes happening at the most fundamental levels of consciousness. The energy is really moving, why not put it to work?</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5745" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5821" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Several weeks ago Adamus did a </span><span class="yiv796111772A13" style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">DreamWalk</span></span><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5760" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">, which had a profound effect on me. For each listener, it was a magical journey into their own Secret Garden of potentials, filled with the energy and possibility of <i style="line-height: 1.22em;">anything. </i>I’ve returned to my Secret Garden many times since, always finding it full of joy and life. Sometimes when I go to bed, weary from the day’s commitments, I drift away to my Garden and rest in the crystal clear pond, or sit quietly on a moss covered log, or walk among the beautiful stones and trees. I end up as rejuvenated and blessed as if I were actually there – because of course I am!</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5747" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5746" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">After the recent Shoud where Adamus talked about the Illuminated Free World Fund, the next journey to my Secret Garden held quite a surprise! Moving along the pebbled path toward the Garden gate, I noticed that the pebbles had changed. It was now a pathway made of jewels that sparkled beneath my feet! And, even more amazing, every tall stalk of grass waving in the breeze was topped with a jewel. What an amazing sight! Inside the Garden everything was still lush and verdant, but here and there, peeking through the grass and stones, were more sparkles of color. It was as if the</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">jewels that Adamus talked about were bursting into life right there in my Garden!</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5749" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5748" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">I breathed it all in, and every time I visited the Garden it was ever more beautiful and abundant. Of course my human self would sometimes wonder if it was really real, if anything “tangible” was going to come from my Garden of potentials, but it was such an enjoyable experience that I was content. (In fact, if you haven’t already, I encourage you to give yourself the gift of listening to this beautiful journey into your own </span><span class="yiv796111772A13" style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">Secret Garden</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">. </span><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5750" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">It contains the energy and potential for everything you could possibly want and, because it’s alive and growing and responding to you, it is truly filled with magic. And if you don’t like what you find there, it’s very easy to change.)</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5752" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5751" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">At some point I began to notice that things were really starting to move, especially with our house. More and more people were coming to look at it, and sure enough, the day came when someone found their dream home. They told us they were going to make an offer to buy, and I began to feel the impending chaos of finding a new home, packing up and moving. I don’t really mind the adventure of moving house, but it was hard to imagine living somewhere else. Nevertheless, it was time to finally say goodbye to my home. I energetically let go, with a bit of sadness but also with implicit trust that the perfect solution would unfold.</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5754" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5753" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">And suddenly, it did! One evening just three weeks ago I received some unexpected news that changed everything. Suddenly all sorts of brand new potentials fell into place, and today I can finally say what I’ve wanted to say for years: I am becoming the overjoyed owner of my beloved home! We are buying this wonderful house.</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5756" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">“How” it happened isn’t really important, because there are bazillions of potential hows. What brought this dream into reality was my energy, imagination, choice, trust and allowing. Of course I also have to actively</span><i style="line-height: 1.22em;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">participate </span></i><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5755" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">in making it real. Any time a dream becomes real there are 3-D logistical issues that have to be dealt with, and a willingness to do the “grunt work” is definitely required. (Buying a house involves a LOT of paperwork!) In this divine partnership between human and soul, that “grunt work” is the responsibility of the human.</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa20" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5758" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5757" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">A few days ago I went out to my little forest (here in my 3-D Garden), sat on my favorite rock, breathed deeply and felt all the energies around me – the rocks, trees, plants and soil, even the devas and gnomes and other interdimensional creatures that live here. I let them know that the limbo is finally over, that I am taking ownership of my little piece of heaven, and that every part of it is now in service to this Master. I felt the energies in the land begin to come alive, answering the call. I felt deep into the earth, connecting with the hidden jewels that underwrite the Illuminated Free World Fund and the incredible crystal heart of the Earth. Everything was alive, and joyfully stirring at the prospect of finally being in service to true Masters. I felt how the Earth really is here to support humanity, and wants only to be commanded forth into her full potential.</span></div>
<div class="yiv796111772Pa5" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5826" style="line-height: 1.22em; text-align: justify;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1365490634687_5825" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">So, what’s next for you? How about magic! How about really living! How about imagining potentials instead of problems. How about trusting that everything really <i style="line-height: 1.22em;">is </i>here to serve you. There are still days when it’s important to remember what we’ve learned, but the days of suffering and working on ourselves can be over. Speaking from personal experience, look what happens when you make YOU your priority, when YOU are your own dream come true – the magic finally shows up! When you have become the home of your Self, all that’s left is to dance with the potentials and allow the magic to unfold. And an occasional visit to your Secret Garden really helps. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;">J</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em;"></span></div>

This attitude is the root cause for much of the problems that the world faces today.<br />
<br />
<br />
The great teachers of antiquity, on the other hand, have emphasized Oneness(Advait) and interdependence(Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam) as the organizing principles of Life.<br />
<br />
This confusion is understandable. Our bodies give an illusion of Separateness. But the body is essentially made from the Breath, we are all equalized in the breath,derived from the same air and Aakash which envelops all life forms from here to infinity..If we look deeper, the body is nothing but a congeries of electro-magnetic energy. And this is derived by reducing Spirit to the lowest frequency. Conversely, the Spirit is nothing but matter raised to the highest frequency.<br />
<br />
So there is a seamless interconnection, a unity and utter inter- dependance of all life forms. It is this interchangeability between matter and energy(or Spirit) that is missed by the materialists and the Dualists.<br />
<br />
The tragedy of the human race is that it confuses itself to be a drop instead of the entire Ocean itself. As a drop of water it is, indeed, insignificant and powerless. But, as the Ocean, it has the entire power of the Cosmos working in him and with him.As essentially Energy, that we are,how can there be a Separateness of the drop from the Ocean.<br />
<br />
Attitude is everything, my friend. We make our life what we will.And Aanapansati, being with the breath, that the Great Buddha taught, equalizes us with all life forms and teaches us the principles of oneness,love and the sheer effervescence of all life forms, principles so critically needed in this world of endless inequality and strife.<br />
<br />

Friends,<br />

I am no votary of any political party.In my view all political parties have ceased to lead the polity to provide any real well being to the great masses of our fellow men.I fervently hope and wish for another Chanakya, Gandhi or Mandela to rise and bring light and rationality to this beloved country of ours which was the richest country in the world, at least till AD 1800. Meanwhile many superpowers rose and fell while others took over. But for this great land there has been a steady decline thereafter.<br />

Who’s anti-women, Modi or the media? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

By Madhu Kishwar, Women's Right Activist & anEminent Editor<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We know what Narendra Modi said about Sunanda Tharoor. But we weren’t told about the rest of that speech !!<br />
<br />
Now that the pious outrage over Narendra Modi’s tasteless remark describing Sunanda Pushkar as a “50-crore rupee girlfriend” of Shashi Tharoor has subsided, I hope we can examine the issue in perspective. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I write this after viewing Modi’s entire speech on YouTube, delivered during the election campaign in Himachal Pradesh. It provides an illustrative example of how our media steadfastly avoids discussion on serious issues and picks up only sensational and titillating tidbits, especially with regard to women, even while pretending to be guardians of women’s rights and honour. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The bulk of Modi’s speech dealt with burning issues such as price rise and Centre-state relations. He focused in particular on the impact of inflation on poor households and addressed specific issues concerning women among the masses. For example, when talking about the effect of the quantum leap in the price of gas cylinders, he expressed concern that the unrealistic quota of six gas cylinders per household per year would affect people in the hill regions more adversely since the cold weather increases the consumption of gas.<br />
<br />
He pointed out that it would force poorer households to revert to using firewood.That, in turn, would increase women’s drudgery, since they would have to spend hours cutting and gathering fuel wood from forests leading to further deforestation. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He then described how the Central government had torpedoed the piped gas supply programme of the Gujarat government, claiming that the state had already provided cooking gas pipelines in 300 villages covering seven lakh households. His plan was to have covered 20 lakh households by this year. Piped gas costs half as much as cylindered gas. But the UPA government passed a law stipulating that only the Central government can supply piped gas. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As per Modi’s claim, that project would have saved the Centre Rs 15,000 crore worth of cooking gas subsidy and spared three crore gas cylinders for use elsewhere, but it was sabotaged because the Congress felt threatened by the growing support for Modi among the women of Gujarat. He then declared that he had filed a petition in the Supreme Court to challenge this needless encroachment on the powers of the state government. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Modi also talked of perennial power shortages and blackouts in the rest of the country while Gujarat had succeeded in providing uninterrupted electricity to every single village and household.<br />
<br />
Access to affordable and efficient forms of cooking is an issue of utmost importance for virtually every woman in India. It is a life and death issue for poorrural households where women have to spend hours walking miles on rough terrains scrounging for fuel wood, cutting thorny bushes and trees and carrying loads of firewood for cooking on smoky chulhas that further endanger their health. Deforestation is also a life and death issue for people who live in hilly regions, especially women, because with disappearing forests, fuel, water and fodder become scarce and landslides become a common occurrence.<br />
<br />
Thus it is evident that the basic and fundamental essence of Modi's whole speech was his strong sense of concern towards the rural group of women ( who bear the major brunt of Congress policy) vis - a - vis the modern uber-rich upper strata women like "you know who" .<br />
<br />
So where is the question of sexist or anti-feminine attitude ? On the contrary, if anything !!<br />
<br />
Yes, the choice of words and pronouncement was rustic, inappropriate and could have been more subtle or diplomatic - but then, people like Digvijay Singh, Renuka Chowdhary ( hear her use unwomanly languageesp when reffering to Baba Ramdev ) and Manish Tiwary have been definitely much more Crass and downright rude & austic even when at their very best !!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally, Modi critiqued Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi for bragging in election rallies that the Congress party was the one facilitating development by giving money grants to state governments while state governments ignored or mismanaged development works. Modi echoed Nitish Kumar, saying that the Congress talks as if the money coming from the Centre is its personal wealth, which it is distributing as charity. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Neither print nor electronic media chose to investigate and discuss whether the claims made by Modi regarding the piped gas project and universal rural electrification in Gujarat are accurate or exaggerated. Similarly, the Congress party’s use of Central funds to arm-twist chief ministers undermines federalism and vitiates Centre-state relations, impairing the health of our democracy.<br />
<br />
The Centre’s near-total monopoly over key sources of taxation leaves state governments at the mercy of the Delhi durbar, distorts state policies and development programmes. For example, most state governments end up pushing liquor sales because that is one of the few sources of revenue they can impose directly. Villages that lack clean drinking water have a plentiful supply of government-patronised liquor shops. This drains out incomes of poor households, leads to greater domestic violence and strengthens the hold of political goondas who own these liquor thekas in villages. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But the media did not spend a fraction of the time discussing these vital issues concerning women and democracy. Instead, for hours and days on end, we heard militant feminists and uppity journalistsbreathing fire and brimstone and TV anchors emoting profusely only over the insult levelled by Modi at Shashi Tharoor’s wife ! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If Modi’s concern for reducing women’s drudgery is genuine, if he has actually delivered piped gas to seven lakh rural households and intends to cover all the rest, if every household in rural Gujarat is getting round the clock power supply,then his frivolous remark against Sunanda Tharoor is not enough to damn him for being anti-women. Mere lip sympathy for women won’t do. I prefer politicians who care for women’s well-being in concrete ways. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The purpose of writing this is neither to defend Modi, nor brush away his uncouth remark.<br />
<br />
It is only to highlight the fact that when serious issues are shoved under the carpet and a highly disproportionate amount of time is spent on relatively frivolous issues like cricket and films by our national media, is it not fair to complain that large sections of our journalist biradari, especially our 24x7 news channels, are trivialising politics in general and women’s concerns in particular in their insatiable hunger for high-decibel cockfights over sensational sound bytes?<br />
<br />
No politician dare marginalise the life concerns of the mass of our women as systematically as large sections of our media do, with their disproportionate attention to glamour dolls and the doings of the fashionable elite. It is easier to call monstrous politicians to account than media monsters. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I know that by writing this piece I will be damned forever by my “secular” and "feminist"friends.<br />
<br />
To those who see Modi as evil incarnate and want to see him defeated, I can only request: Please have the courage to stay close to facts and fight him on his home ground. Taking potshots at a straw man or caricature will only weaken the case against him.<br />
<br />
Give the Devil his due, viz be fair to a person in totality and not by picking on isolated or selective utterences.<br />

<br />
<br />
This story in the International Herald Tribune has been an eye opener in ways more than one. We, the chattering classes, are prone to demonize all and sundry at the drop of the hat. This demeans us much, much more than the things and people we rail against. More often our ire is borne out of pure envy than anything else. Our morals are pathetic and our so called "intellectualism" and "rationality" more so <br />
<br />
This article highlights why we should be giving the devil more due than we have done so far.How the politicians have to tread the very difficult task of high moral visiona and low cunning.<br />
<br />
Criticism is crass. As Gandhi so famously said, Be the Change You Want to See in the World.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Why We Love Politics<br />
<br />
We live in an anti-political moment, when many people — young people especially — think politics is a low, nasty, corrupt and usually fruitless business. It’s much nobler to do community service or just avoid all that putrid noI hope everybody who shares this anti-political mood will go out to see “Lincoln,” directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Tony Kushner. The movie portrays the nobility of politics in exactly the right way. <br />
<br />
It shows that you can do more good in politics than in any other sphere. You can end slavery, open opportunity and fight poverty. But you can achieve these things only if you are willing to stain your own character in order to serve others — if you are willing to bamboozle, trim, compromise and be slippery and hypocritical. <br />
<br />
The challenge of politics lies precisely in the marriage of high vision and low cunning. Spielberg’s “Lincoln” gets this point. The hero has a high moral vision, but he also has the courage to take morally hazardous action in order to make that vision a reality. <br />
<br />
To lead his country through a war, to finagle his ideas through Congress, Lincoln feels compelled to ignore court decisions, dole out patronage, play legalistic games, deceive his supporters and accept the fact that every time he addresses one problem he ends up creating others down the road. <br />
<br />
Politics is noble because it involves personal compromise for the public good. This is a self-restrained movie that celebrates people who are prudent, self-disciplined, ambitious and tough enough to do that work. <br />
<br />
The movie also illustrates another thing: that politics is the best place to develop the highest virtues. Politics involves such a perilous stream of character tests: how low can you stoop to conquer without destroying yourself; when should you be loyal to your team and when should you break from it; how do you wrestle with the temptations of fame — that the people who can practice it and remain intact, like Lincoln, Washington or Churchill, are incredibly impressive. <br />
<br />
The movie shows a character-building trajectory, common among great politicians, which you might call the trajectory from the Gettysburg Address to the Second Inaugural. <br />
<br />
In the Gettysburg phase, a leader expresses grand ideas. This, frankly, is relatively easy. Lots of people embrace grand ideals or all-explaining ideologies. But satisfied with that they become morally infantile. They refuse to compromise, insult their opponents and isolate themselves on the perch of their own solipsism. <br />
<br />
But a politician like Lincoln takes the next step in the trajectory. He has to deal with other people. Spielberg’s “Lincoln” does a nice job celebrating an underappreciated art, the art of legislating. <br />
<br />
The movie is about pushing the 13th Amendment through the House of Representatives. The political operatives Lincoln hires must pay acute attention to the individual congressmen in order to figure out which can be appealed to through the heart and which through the wallet. <br />
<br />
Lincoln plays each potential convert like a musical instrument, appealing to one man’s sense of idealism, another’s fraternal loyalty. His toughest job is to get the true believers on his own side to suppress themselves, to say things they don’t believe in order not to offend the waverers who are needed to get the amendment passed. <br />
<br />
That leads to the next step in the character-building trajectory, what you might call the loneliness of command. Toward the end of the civil war, Lincoln had to choose between two rival goods, immediate peace and the definitive end of slavery. He had to scuttle a peace process that would have saved thousands of lives in order to achieve a larger objective. <br />
<br />
He had to discern the core good, legal equality, among a flurry of other issues. He had to use a constant stream of words, stories, allusions and arguments to cajole people. He had to live with a crowd of supplicants forever wanting things at the door without feeling haughty or superior to them. <br />
<br />
If anything, the movie understates how hard politics can be. The moral issue here is a relatively clean one: slavery or no slavery. Most issues are not that simple. The bill in question here is a constitutional amendment. There’s no question of changing this or that subsection and then wondering how much you’ve destroyed the whole package. <br />
<br />
Politicians who can navigate such challenges really do emerge with the sort of impressive weight expressed in Lincoln’s Second Inaugural. It’s a speech that acknowledges that there is moral ambiguity on both sides. It’s a speech in which Lincoln, in the midst of the fray, is able to take a vantage point above it, embodying a tragic and biblical perspective on human affairs. Lincoln’s wisdom emerges precisely from the fact that he’s damaged goods. <br />
<br />
Politics doesn’t produce many Lincolns, but it does produce some impressive people, and sometimes, great results. Take a few hours from the mall. See the movie. <br />

Super Brain Beyond BoundariesBy: Deepak Chopra on Nov 23, 2012 <br />

32 ResponsesCategoryScience of SpiritualityADD TO SPIRITUAL DIARYTags : God, Mind, Consciousness, Buddha, Jesus, Brain, BoundariesToday we walk around assuming that each of us has a mind, holding on to a prized piece of consciousness the way sailors once held on to lodestones. But the truth is that we participate in One mind, which hasn’t lost its infinite status by existing in the small packages of individual human beings.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We are so attached to our own thoughts and desires that we easily say “my mind.” But consciousness could be a field like electromagnetism, extending throughout the universe. Electrical signals permeate the brain, but we don’t say “my electricity,” and it’s dubious that we should say “my mind.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
…The brains of the Buddha, Jesus, and rishis reached a level that has inspired us for centuries, but as a biological creation, their brains were no different from that of any healthy adult today. The Buddha’s brain followed where his mind led, which is why all the great spiritual teachers declared that anyone could make the same journey that they did. It’s only a matter of setting your foot on the path and paying attention to the subtle signals picked up by your brain. Since it is attuned to the quantum level, your brain can receive anything that creation has to offer. In that sense, the great saints, sages and seers weren’t more favoured by God than you and I are; they were braver about following a trail of clues that led them to the very source of their awareness…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The barriers that keep us earthbound are of our own making. They include the barrier that divides the world “in here” from the world “out there.” Another barrier isolates the human mind as a unique product in the universe, which is otherwise devoid of intelligence – or so the prevailing theories of cosmology assert. In pockets of speculative thinking, however, a growing number of cosmologists have found the courage to look in a different direction, toward a universe teeming with intelligence, creativity, and Self-awareness. Such a universe would indeed know that we were coming…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Reality-making is every person’s task. There is no real look to the world, no anchor we can drop once and for all. Reality keeps evolving (thank goodness), and the biggest clue to this lies inside your brain. One reality after another is packed into it. The reality of the reptilian brain is still in there, but it has been incorporated through evolution into higher realities, each one matched by a new physical structure.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The brain mirrors the reality that each person is making at this very moment. Your mind is the rider; your brain is the horse. Anyone who has ridden horses knows that they can balk, fight the bridle, become frightened, stop to munch grass by the wayside, or bolt for home. The rider hangs on, yet most of the time he is in command. We all relate to our brains by hanging on during the episodes when hardwired imprints, impulses drives, and habits are in control. No horse has ever bolted as wildly as a brain gone awry…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Most of the time, however, the mind is in the saddle. Conscious control is ours and always has been. There is no limit to what we can inspire the brain to achieve. It would be ironic if anyone turned away from super brain for being too unbelievable, because if you could only see your untapped potential, you would realize that you already own a super brain. From the epilogue to the new bestseller, ‘Super Brain,’ by Deepak Chopra & Rudolph E Tanzi, professor of neurology, Harvard Medical School. (Rider, Random House).<br />

<br />
I must thank Bhaiya and Anjani Bhaiya for their precious reminiscences.I have been caught up in the whirl of events following Appu's departure for Trinity and Munni's for the Sports Meet at Avadi. <br />
<br />
I am pleased to know that Papa led such an active life,despite his debilitating hypertension,usually measuring 200/120.That explains his early demise and I am now caught up in the abstruse process of trying to cure him of this disease,even though he has left that body.Since Energy is indestructible,he will surely respond to this overwhelming desire in me.<br />
<br />
Apart from this, I must share with you that, once in rare whiles, Papa does communicate with me.I remember his clear exhortation to me, sometime back, to stand by my siblings as I would stand by my children.I found this message as a stark testimony of his eternal presence,and to his unfinished task which he suggested I take on without any fanfare, as a normal fact of life.<br />
<br />
I also remember that evening when we had done Grihapravesh of our Nasik house,probably 1999. I was meditating and I got a clear message from Papa that, while the Nasik house was very good, I must not forget Munger.It was soon thereafter that I bought that half an acre land in Mirzapur, without any clear planning, simply on a whim and an impulse. That place, with the swanky temple, clear six feet boundary wall covering even the erstwhile property and rainwater harvesting in the premises, will surely do Papa proud. And this gives me enormous satisfaction.<br />
<br />
The moral of the story is that Death is a great illusion. Life is continuous and eternal.Papa lives on, manifesting into physical reality his innermost desires.So we must cherish, and fully live, every moment of this blessed life, dedicating our actions to the greater good of all.<br />

Dear Bhaiya,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry I could not respond earlier because on 1st Sept I had a minor<br />
<br />
operation - surgical removal of extra flesh on my back.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, it is an interesting point that you have raised. It is true that we<br />
<br />
will never know Papa's world view excepting that he wanted the best for his<br />
<br />
children - this was also beyond the vision of most of his contemporaries.<br />
<br />
However, I do remember a few things.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Many years ago I had chanced upon a letter that he had written to Ma,<br />
<br />
soon after their marriage. I don't know where that letter might be now. I<br />
<br />
distinctly remember Papa writing about the internal beauty that he had seen<br />
<br />
/ experienced in Ma and which he liked immensely. His language even then<br />
<br />
was absolutely beautiful..<br />
<br />
2. It is difficult to talk about his political thoughts. However, what I<br />
<br />
remember is that he worked during Nani's elections. Also, he liked to<br />
<br />
listen to Atal Behari Vajpayee during his whirlwind tour following Indira<br />
<br />
Gandhi during 1967 elections. I think he also had some affinity for<br />
<br />
socialists - Lohia and others.<br />
<br />
3. He did write occasionally for Indian Nation, which alongwith Searchlight<br />
<br />
were the only English dailies published from Bihar. Manjhla Nana would also<br />
<br />
express his ideas through print media (read Indian Nation). Manjhla Nana<br />
<br />
would wait for the weekend when Papa was in Munger, and then show Papa his<br />
<br />
write-up before sending it to press.<br />
<br />
4. I also remember Prof. Manoranjan Kasotiyar, HOD (English) who was Papa's<br />
<br />
neighbour in Khagaria discussing with him Shakespeare and English poets<br />
<br />
like Shelly and Keats.<br />
<br />
5. I think Papa was a member of University Syndicate and would often go to<br />
<br />
Bhagalpur, the University headquarters, for meetings.<br />
<br />
6. He would take active part in the affairs of college - a frequent visitor<br />
<br />
to Kuso Babu who was the big boss of Kosi College which was then a private<br />
<br />
college.<br />
<br />
7. During summer vacation he spent most of the time in Munger correcting<br />
<br />
papers as Head Examiner in Economics. Many people would come for 'pairvi'<br />
<br />
through Ma. Sometimes I thought Ma also hesitated when talking to Papa on<br />
<br />
the subject.<br />

<br />
For us this day has a special meaning. Papa went when we weren't standing<br />
<br />
on our feet,<br />
<br />
but Maan made all the sacrifices (as did you all as you were children and<br />
<br />
had children's desires).<br />
<br />
I still recall that confusing telegram sent by Mummy ("Father expired").<br />
<br />
"Whose father?" was my first<br />
<br />
worried thought- hers or mine, my grandfather or father. Our dearest Amar,<br />
<br />
then only 11, bore the brunt.<br />
<br />
By the time I caught the train and reached home, our beloved Papa had been<br />
<br />
cremated.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have sometimes wondered about papa's world view, if there is such a<br />
<br />
thing. This is apart from his desires<br />
<br />
for each one of us individually. He was a product of his times, in some<br />
<br />
ways conservative and in some ways<br />
<br />
progressive. But I guess that's true of most of us. Nevertheless, papa's<br />
<br />
overall thinking about life is a question that<br />
<br />
has occurred to me. And so has an answer he himself gave. The idea is<br />
<br />
nebulous. He didn't expand on it. After<br />
<br />
all, I was only 16 or17 when we had this conversation. Shades of it came<br />
<br />
through in our occasional talks later<br />
<br />
as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The memories are not too clear in my mind. But I distinctly recall Papa<br />
<br />
using the expression "ajaatshatru"- one who<br />
<br />
has no enemies- as some kind of ideal toward which we may aspire. I didn't<br />
<br />
at all comprehend the meaning of these things.<br />
<br />
But looking back, was he speaking of inner beauty? I shall never know. It<br />
<br />
is of course difficult to be without enemies, I<br />
<br />
think. I don't mean personal enemies (and that fate many can escape), but<br />
<br />
people can be opponents of our thinking or<br />
<br />
larger point of view. But if we are possessed of inner beauty, may be the<br />
<br />
world will overlook other failings in us.<br />
<br />
With my abiding love to you all that will never diminish,<br />
<br />
Bhaiya<br />
<br />

am very happy that we have a conversation going on. I'd like to respond to Para's objection on the heading,initiated by me. Speaking for myself,I don't believe that Science is antithetical to Religion or vice versa. Things like Sati pratha,or even caste,have no religious sanction. They were evolved by vested interests for good economic reasons. Religion,like Science,is strong enough to encompass the Totality of life. But the unfortunate thing remains,Para, that Religious elites,throughout history,have aligned with political elites to divide the masses into religious groups and perpetuate their plunder of innocent people at large. There is nothing in Religion itself to advocate such division or plunder. Infact it is just the opposite. So pl excuse me if I have hurt your sentiments. And I fully agree with your fine write up. Our ancient culture and tradition has such gems covering the totality of life.We must wake up to these and enrich our lives.<br />

Dear Para,<br />
<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />
Whoa, Whoa, Boss you really seem to be worked up !!! Take some deep breaths and calm down. Unlike most of us, you have around 40 families to take care of, apart from yours.<br />
<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />
The moot point Para here is that each of us (yours truly, at the head of the line please) have an insatiable desire to prove our point. Very often we forget the fact that we may not be competent enough to express an opinion especially when it comes to esoteric topics like religion, alternate medicinal treatments, occult sciences etc. Logic comes into play only when we know entirely the working of a particular subject - be it science, religion, medicine etc. A healthy man dies of cardiac arrest one fine morning ( and this is happening very often nowadays). The doctor can only say how he died and not why .... Then there will be a vague diagnosis like stress factor, emotional imbalance etc etc. The fact is that he died because his time was up on this planet. How is just a means of dying and not the reason. As to the reason, we still do not have any clue although astrology does predict the approx time of departure. So Para, let the logic based tribe flourish till they start believing in something which cannot be proved immediately without an intuitive knowledge. This may happen in this lifetime or may not also. Either way I think it is more important to listen to the various schools of thought and take our step as per our conscience and mental make up.<br />
<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />
So as the new generation says, Chillllllllllll....... and Be happy.<br />
<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />
Luv ( and with no malice to one and all).<br />

<div style="line-height: 1.22em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">Dear Jairaj, Pankaj and other contributors and silent readers.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.22em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">Let me chip in the rationale behind my statements. First of all I take very strong objection to the subject heading stating dont turn science in to religion.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />I have been only advocating the fact that the subject lemon is not a story but worth investigating. <br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Religion is a personal subject suiting individuals preference and taste and no one has the right to comment without adequate subject knowledge.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Now getting in to the subject of allopathy homeopathy and ayurvedha. <br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Again each form has its advantage and disadvantages.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />In the race to gain supermacy one form should not trample upon other using unethical standards.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />When I gave example of pfizer I was trying to only highlight the above.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />There is absolutely no problem in pfizer taking its profit and again this will be absolutely governed by market dynamics. If say Merck comes with a remedy cheaper than pfizer then pfizer has to act in making its drug cheaper.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />But today what is happening is that multinational drug companies employ the most unethical standards in pushing their products.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />The result they go out of their way to prove falsely Ayurveda or homeopathy doesnt offer any cure.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />They talk about presence of heavy metals like lead etc in Ayurvedic preparations which will make irreversible damage to the human anatomy. This has been proven totally false and it is nothing but machinations of drug majors to maximize their profit.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />In the same context it is sheer stupidity to dismiss the lemon story and compare it with a serious canard like some miscreants stabbing people etc etc.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />I know what happens with two sittings of chemotherapy for cancer patients. You will just abhor to see the patient after couple of sittings.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Pankaj who told you that research is not being made on ayurvedha and homeopathy.? May be you dont have access to the latest trends in these form of medicine or you dont want to accept it.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />If you get a chance to visit INDIA please visit a place called Kottakal in the state of kerala. You will be amazed to see the goings there. Unfortunately with very little support from our bloody politicians and the excellent machinations of multinational drug companies the news doesnt come out and the progress is slow.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />As I stated earlier I dont blindly support anything unless I am pretty sure of the subject.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Thanks to the support from my Ayurvedic and homeopathy doctlr friends I have seen talked to the patients who have been cured.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />While I have high regards for allopathy and its contributions one should not belittle other forms of medicine.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Again jairajji I have no qualms in pfizer making money and getting back their dues for the research they spent. But it is illegitimate to adopt unethical means to maximize their profits.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />I am not sure if jairaj knows how many poor people in the district of medchal andhrapradesh have been subjected to indiscriminate drug trials against medical ethics. Many have been affected with irrerapirable damage. When we tried to fight for their cause for adequate compensation the drug majors were supported by none other than our corrupt politicians. The trials were conducted by none other than pfizer DR reddys lab etc. Mr jairaj how will you justify this when these gullible subjects were just paid paltry some.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Again to highlight my arguements I would like to give the example of B T Cotton the hybrid cotton seeds developed by mosanto which miserably failed and the result farmer suicides in AP Vidarba region of maharastra.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Again I dont talk about these subjects without any proof. I have been associated with gardening and the subject of bio pesticides in agriculture.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />in the guise of promising very high yield again multinational companies just thrust hybrid seeds which once sown the plants will not reproduce and the soil goes on irrepairable damage of not becoming useful for conventional seeds.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Lastly I dont blindly oppose developement. I understand from one of my close friends in GE research centre in Bangalore that they are on to a breakthrough where they will be able to predict cancer several years ahead and will be able to cure.<br style="line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;" />Finally I am aware there is nothing called free lunch.

If the law of the jungle still applies, the Western elites, and their collaborators throughout the world,including sub-Saharan Africa, should stop pretending to be "modern" and hold the torch for democracy, justice and freedom for much of the world,including their own countries where the level of inequality is almost as stark.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The tragedy is that, on a psychological level, we have ceded superiority to them in almost all walks of life and denigrated our rich culture and tradition evolved since antiquity.While the truth remains,as evidenced in the drying up and pollution of our water bodies and in the dismal quality of the air we breathe, not to talk of the utter malnutrition and disease of at least 50% of the global citizenry, that the model of "development" pioneered by the West has been an utter failure.In Russia and China,the loot and pillage of its own citizens is almost as stark,if cruder.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
So we have to think hard and deep.The deepest malaise, seems to me, is the notion of private, individual enrichment,at the expense of the community.In our ancient way of life,in China, Mesopotamia(Egypt) or the Indian sub continent, primacy was always given to the Community.And the Dharma of the Community was to protect the least of its individuals.In moving away from this ideal,and losing itself in the paranoia of the Individual,with its skyrocketing Divorces and Depressions, I fail to understand the logic of private,individual enrichment,the sine qua non of the Western way of life.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" />Best regards,<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" />Avinash<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><a href="http://poshaning.blogspot.com/" style="color: #1e66ae; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1346396048_1" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">http://poshaning.blogspot.com/</span></a><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" />--- On <b style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">Tue, 8/28/12, Yadav, Pankaj (GE Intelligent Platforms) <i style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"><<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1346396048_2" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">pankaj.yadav@ge.com</span>></i></b> wrote:<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(16, 16, 255); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 2px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;">

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">I agree with your sentiments here too, however I wouldn’t characterize institutions like BBC and Harvard as being consciously anti-East or anti-Africa etc…….</span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">At the end of the day, we may be sophisticated, but humans are still animals living in a jungle, where the law of the jungle still applies. The only difference is that our modern jungle is an economic one, and economic might replaces physical might of a real jungle. We also follow the “food-chain” like the inhabitants of a jungle do. Those with the least economic might are at the bottom and have the least amount of say in their future, just as what happens in the animal world.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">For the East, and the sub Saharan Africa to move up this “food-chain”, economic might is needed. As we get richer, we will get “stronger”, and the others will listen to us more and more. Our version of history will also then become more and more relevant.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">Japan has proven this before, and China is doing it now. As for India – and sub Saharan Africa – well, we haven’t really moved up from the bottom of the heap all that much yet.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"> This is to bring to your notice the refreshingly original book by Pankaj Mishra entitled From the Ruins of Empire.An interview of his appeared in The Hindu Magazine of August 19th.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<div class="yiv1322177686MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.22em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"> In this book the author has given voice to the Asian perspective of history, as opposed to the Western perspective which resort to deliberate generalization and distort the rich diversity of Asian culture. For example, when they use the term Islamism,they distort facts because Islamism is itself such a broad swath, from West Asia, to the Indian subcontinent, to Indonesia where the Muslims even have Hindu names.The eminent anthropologist, K.S.Singh in his book, The People of India, found that Hindus share about 96% traits with Muslims in terms of ecology, settlement,food habits, occupation and the like.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"> Such simplistic theory to couch complex facts of life are deliberately concocted to hide the great imbalance of power between Western nations and the rest.By loudly invoking religion, culture,race or nationality, the Western theorists seek to mask the material basis of global inequality. Why some countries are rich and some,like sub-Saharan Africa, permanently poor.How the violence and genocidal wars waged by the neo-imperialists enjoy moral sanction and respectability thanks to the Corporate Media and the bully pulpits of mainstream institutions such as Harvard and the BBC, to which we, the "natives", pay unquestioning obeisance.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"> The dominant forces in the West,and their collaborators throughout the world, have deliberately used War as an ideology to pauperize the world because sale of armaments yields super-duper profits.Religion,race and nationality are used as masks to hide the real enemies.And,like fools, we remain divided while the racists and imperialists laugh their way to the bank.Unfortuately, the Media and repressive Govts throughout the world play ball while our water and air are despoiled and the majority of the world's populace wallow in malnutrition and disease.</span></div>

<tr style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"><td style="border-spacing: 2px; font: inherit; outline: none;" valign="top">This brilliant piece is not just about hospitality.Its also about the possibilities that could lie in store for any of us, provided we rid ourselves of the tyranny, and the prison, of our logical,intellectual mind and embrace the Totality of the Consciousness that we actually are.<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Our Spirit, the Totality of who we are, remains unexplored and untapped. Indeed, the "Rationalists" have dismissed it as bumkum, mere "faith" and they erroneously give to "Science" a very narrow field of operation. Science is wide enough to embrace the whole of Life, not only that revealed by the intellectual mind, as embodied in the Newtonian-Cartesian-Einsteinian paradigm. In this sense Science, if properly understood, is co-terminus with Spirit itself, the Totality of Consciousness, that creates this Cosmos.We don't need any Crusaders for Science.Its methodology is so firm that it can save itself.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Therefore,when the workings of the Spirit are now beginning to be understood,even a faint ray thereof,the time may just be ripe to free ourselves of our intellectual prisons and create a better Science. Indeed a miraculous life,not only for ourselves, but for the whole of humankind.And, thereby, breathe the air of freedom and exhilaration from the present travails that the humankind is stuck up with.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Those who Ask shall,undoubtedly, Receive from the same Source that creates everything.We are All worthy of such miracles.The point,however,is to Create these as our life's realities.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The greater part of most people’s thinking is involuntary, automatic, and repetitive. It is no more than a kind of mental static and fulfils no real purpose. Strictly speaking, you don’t think; thinking happens to you. The statement “I think” implies volition. It implies that you have a say in the matter, that there is choice involved on your part. For most people, this is not yet the case. “I think” is just as false a statement as “I digest” or “I circulate my blood.” Digestion happens, circulation happens, thinking happens. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The voice in the head has a life of its own. Most people are at the mercy of that voice; they are possessed by thought, by the mind. And since the mind is conditioned by the past, you are then forced to re-enact the past again and again. The Eastern term for this is karma. When you are identified with that voice, you don’t know this, of course. If you knew it, you would no longer be possessed because you are only truly possessed when you mistake the possessing entity for who you are, that is to say, when you become it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For thousands of years, humanity has been increasingly mindpossessed, failing to recognise the possessing entity as “not self.” Through complete identification with the mind, a false sense of self — the ego — came into existence. The density of the ego depends on the degree to which you the consciousness — are identified with your mind, with thinking. Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The degree of identification with the mind differs from person to person. Some people enjoy periods of freedom from it, however brief, and the peace, joy, and aliveness they experience in those moments make life worth living. These are also the moments when creativity, love, and compassion arise. Others are constantly trapped in the egoic state. They are alienated from themselves, as well as from others and the world around them. When you look at them, you may see the tension in their face, perhaps the furrowed brow, or the absent or staring expression in their eyes. Most of their attention is absorbed by thinking, and so they don’t really see you, and they are not really listening to you. They are not present in any situation, their attention being either in the past or future which, of course, exist only in them as thought forms. Or they relate to you through some kind of role they play and so are not themselves. Most people are alienated from who they are, and some are alienated to such a degree that the way they behave and interact is recognised as “phony” by almost everyone, except those who are equally phony, equally alienated from who they are. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Alienation means you don’t feel at ease in any situation, any place, or with any person, not even with yourself. You are always trying to get ‘home’ but never feel at home. Some of the greatest writers of the 20th century, such as Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, T S Eliot, and James Joyce, recognised alienation as the universal dilemma of human existence, probably felt it deeply within themselves and so were able to express it brilliantly in their works. They don’t offer a solution. Their contribution is to show us a reflection of the human predicament so that we can see it more clearly. To see one’s predicament clearly is a first step toward going beyond it.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15.933333396911621px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Its not a question of Absolutes or Diversity alone.Ofcourse, Life is full of diversity and there cannot be any Absolute in life. But there is a school of thought which thinks that the only thing worth accepting is that coming out of so called "scientific" experiments done in laboratories based on the Cartesian-Newtonian paradigm. Everything else is dismissed as bumkum, based on faith.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15.933333396911621px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
This school of thought does grave disservice to science itself because science,in its essence, can never be a closed ended system. In that case it will turn into another Religion.Science, like Life itself, is open ended. The Newtonian paradigm was overturned by Einsteinian Relativity which may again be superceded when another particle travelling more than the speed of light is discovered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15.933333396911621px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The point is to move on and not accept whatever "found" in scientific labs as the gospel truth.Indeed, these are often motivated by pure commerce,than by a spirit of service to humanity.There cannot be a bigger laboratory than Life. Indeed the Yogis have found many secrets of Life through Contemplation, through exploration of the hidden recesses of the human brain, of which the normal human activities using just about 10% thereof. The time tested principles of Ayurveda serves many denizens of this Earth, including in the West, quite well and there is every reason for such people to swear by the miracles experienced in their lives through Patanjali's Ashtang Yoga and by Ayurveda.</div>

Above all, Members of the Princeton Class of 2012. Give yourself a round of applause. The next time you look around a church and see everyone dressed in black it'll be awkward to cheer.

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">Thirty years ago I sat where you sat. I must have listened to some older person share his life experience. But I don't remember a word of it. I can't even tell you who spoke. What I do remember, vividly, is graduation. I'm told you're meant to be excited, perhaps even relieved, and maybe all of you are. I wasn't. I was totally outraged. Here I’d gone and given them four of the best years of my life and this is how they thanked me for it. By kicking me out. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">At that moment I was sure of only one thing: I was of no possible economic value to the outside world. I'd majored in art history, for a start. Even then this was regarded as an act of insanity. I was almost certainly less prepared for the marketplace than most of you. Yet somehow I have wound up rich and famous. Well, sort of. I'm going to explain, briefly, how that happened. I want you to understand just how mysterious careers can be, before you go out and have one yourself.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">I graduated from Princeton without ever having published a word of anything, anywhere. I didn't write for the Prince, or for anyone else. But at Princeton, studying art history, I felt the first twinge of literary ambition. It happened while working on my senior thesis. My adviser was a truly gifted professor, an archaeologist named William Childs. The thesis tried to explain how the Italian sculptor Donatello used Greek and Roman sculpture — which is actually totally beside the point, but I've always wanted to tell someone. God knows what Professor Childs actually thought of it, but he helped me to become engrossed. More than engrossed: obsessed. When I handed it in I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life: to write senior theses. Or, to put it differently: to write books. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"></span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv1813197314MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.22em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">Then I went to my thesis defense. It was just a few yards from here, in McCormick Hall. I listened and waited for Professor Childs to say how well written my thesis was. He didn't. And so after about 45 minutes I finally said, "So. What did you think of the writing?"</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;">And I didn't — not really. I did what everyone does who has no idea what to do with themselves: I went to graduate school. I wrote at nights, without much effect, mainly because I hadn't the first clue what I should write about. One night I was invited to a dinner, where I sat next to the wife of a big shot at a giant Wall Street investment bank, called Salomon Brothers. She more or less forced her husband to give me a job. I knew next to nothing about Salomon Brothers. But Salomon Brothers happened to be where Wall Street was being reinvented—into the place we have all come to know and love. When I got there I was assigned, almost arbitrarily, to the very best job in which to observe the growing madness: they turned me into the house expert on derivatives. A year and a half later Salomon Brothers was handing me a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars to give advice about derivatives to professional investors. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.22em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">Now I had something to write about: Salomon Brothers. Wall Street had become so unhinged that it was paying recent Princeton graduates who knew nothing about money small fortunes to pretend to be experts about money. I'd stumbled into my next senior thesis.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">I called up my father. I told him I was going to quit this job that now promised me millions of dollars to write a book for an advance of 40 grand. There was a long pause on the other end of the line. "You might just want to think about that," he said. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">I didn't need to think about it. I knew what intellectual passion felt like — because I'd felt it here, at Princeton — and I wanted to feel it again. I was 26 years old. Had I waited until I was 36, I would never have done it. I would have forgotten the feeling. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">The book I wrote was called "Liar’s Poker." It sold a million copies. I was 28 years old. I had a career, a little fame, a small fortune and a new life narrative. All of a sudden people were telling me I was born to be a writer. This was absurd. Even I could see there was another, truer narrative, with luck as its theme. What were the odds of being seated at that dinner next to that Salomon Brothers lady? Of landing inside the best Wall Street firm from which to write the story of an age? Of landing in the seat with the best view of the business? Of having parents who didn't disinherit me but instead sighed and said "do it if you must?" Of having had that sense of must kindled inside me by a professor of art history at Princeton? Of having been let into Princeton in the first place?</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>
<div class="yiv1813197314MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">This isn't just false humility. It's false humility with a point. My case illustrates how success is always rationalized. People really don’t like to hear success explained away as luck — especially successful people. As they age, and succeed, people feel their success was somehow inevitable. They don't want to acknowledge the role played by accident in their lives. There is a reason for this: the world does not want to acknowledge it either. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>
<div class="yiv1813197314MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">I wrote a book about this, called "Moneyball." It was ostensibly about baseball but was in fact about something else. There are poor teams and rich teams in professional baseball, and they spend radically different sums of money on their players. When I wrote my book the richest team in professional baseball, the New York Yankees, was then spending about $120 million on its 25 players. The poorest team, the Oakland A's, was spending about $30 million. And yet the Oakland team was winning as many games as the Yankees — and more than all the other richer teams. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>
<div class="yiv1813197314MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">This isn't supposed to happen. In theory, the rich teams should buy the best players and win all the time. But the Oakland team had figured something out: the rich teams didn't really understand who the best baseball players were. The players were misvalued. And the biggest single reason they were misvalued was that the experts did not pay sufficient attention to the role of luck in baseball success. Players got given credit for things they did that depended on the performance of others: pitchers got paid for winning games, hitters got paid for knocking in runners on base. Players got blamed and credited for events beyond their control. Where balls that got hit happened to land on the field, for example.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">Forget baseball, forget sports. Here you had these corporate employees, paid millions of dollars a year. They were doing exactly the same job that people in their business had been doing forever. In front of millions of people, who evaluate their every move. They had statistics attached to everything they did. And yet they were misvalued — because the wider world was blind to their luck. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>
<div class="yiv1813197314MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">This had been going on for a century. Right under all of our noses. And no one noticed — until it paid a poor team so well to notice that they could not afford not to notice. And you have to ask: if a professional athlete paid millions of dollars can be misvalued who can't be? If the supposedly pure meritocracy of professional sports can't distinguish between lucky and good, who can? </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">The "Moneyball" story has practical implications. If you use better data, you can find better values; there are always market inefficiencies to exploit, and so on. But it has a broader and less practical message: don't be deceived by life's outcomes. Life's outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them. Above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck — and with luck comes obligation. You owe a debt, and not just to your Gods. You owe a debt to the unlucky.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">I now live in Berkeley, California. A few years ago, just a few blocks from my home, a pair of researchers in the Cal psychology department staged an experiment. They began by grabbing students, as lab rats. Then they broke the students into teams, segregated by sex. Three men, or three women, per team. Then they put these teams of three into a room, and arbitrarily assigned one of the three to act as leader. Then they gave them some complicated moral problem to solve: say what should be done about academic cheating, or how to regulate drinking on campus.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>
<div class="yiv1813197314MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">Exactly 30 minutes into the problem-solving the researchers interrupted each group. They entered the room bearing a plate of cookies. Four cookies. The team consisted of three people, but there were these four cookies. Every team member obviously got one cookie, but that left a fourth cookie, just sitting there. It should have been awkward. But it wasn't. With incredible consistency the person arbitrarily appointed leader of the group grabbed the fourth cookie, and ate it. Not only ate it, but ate it with gusto: lips smacking, mouth open, drool at the corners of their mouths. In the end all that was left of the extra cookie were crumbs on the leader's shirt.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>
<div class="yiv1813197314MsoNormal" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">This leader had performed no special task. He had no special virtue. He'd been chosen at random, 30 minutes earlier. His status was nothing but luck. But it still left him with the sense that the cookie should be his. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">This experiment helps to explain Wall Street bonuses and CEO pay, and I'm sure lots of other human behavior. But it also is relevant to new graduates of Princeton University. In a general sort of way you have been appointed the leader of the group. Your appointment may not be entirely arbitrary. But you must sense its arbitrary aspect: you are the lucky few. Lucky in your parents, lucky in your country, lucky that a place like Princeton exists that can take in lucky people, introduce them to other lucky people, and increase their chances of becoming even luckier. Lucky that you live in the richest society the world has ever seen, in a time when no one actually expects you to sacrifice your interests to anything. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #444444; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">All of you have been faced with the extra cookie. All of you will be faced with many more of them. In time you will find it easy to assume that you deserve the extra cookie. For all I know, you may. But you'll be happier, and the world will be better off, if you at least pretend that you don't. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;"></span></div>

We hardly need a Friendship Day to celebrate friendship.Look at Nature of which, as Energy and Consciousness entities, we are an integral part.Friendship,Synergy and Interdependence is a Natural Law of this Cosmos. But do these properties really translate as the living reality of the mass of the denizens who inhabit this Mother Earth.Its time we pondered on the forces which militate against such an outcome.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The so called "Rationalists" claim that the developments in Science and Technology is the only path forward.We probably forget that the hallmark of success of any civilization lies not in the number of patents registered or in the number of millionaires produced, but in the absence of starvation among the masses.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Religious fundamentalism and Crony capitalism are two aspects of the same coin.Instead of love and friendship as the natural law of creation, these draw sustenance on the theory of "the Other." And,if someone is not your own, but the "Other", you can abuse him at will,relegate him to a sub-human status,without remorse or feeling the pangs of conscience.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
This is where the world finds itself today.So we have to embrace, not only the Rationality of the Intellectual mind, but the greater Rationality of the Subconscious mind.And thereby regain the Love and Wisdom to embrace all of the Earth's denizens in the spirit of friendship and brotherhood.</div>

Friends,</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Diabetes and hypertension are symptomatic of underlying deeper problems. These can be cured by working not only on the body but also on the mind. There are legions who have experienced miracles in their life by following the right world view, as postulated in our Scriptures.Equally, there are legions who lead highly tortured lives because of their alienated thinking. I am given to understand that Depression is one of the leading diseases in the US, next only to hypertension and cardiac.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Our ancients,not only in India but in other traditions as well, have given us two beautiful concepts. One, that of Aham Brahmasmi. Two, that of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam. The first simply means that the power of creation is inherent in us.Whatever we experience in our lives, we have first created in our thoughts,beliefs and attitudes.All of physical reality has actually been imagined into existence.This world view allows us to take Responsibility for our lives, and not erroneously blame our Karma,our bad Stars, or "God."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The second means that all of creation is actually one big family and this teaches us the extraordinary concepts of love, compassion and harmony with all of life forms.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The hard reality is that our lives are far removed from actually living the above two principles. In an earlier mail I have dealt with the how the forces of religious messianism and crony capitalism have destroyed human life on this beautiful Planet Earth.Due to this,and our own stupor,we are not at ease with our innermost Self.The more we strive for more and more,we actually seem to end up with less and less.A pyrrhic victory!!!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Many people have benefitted immensely from Patanjali's system of Ashtanga Yoga.This begins to clean up our warped world views and we gradually begin to find ourselves, the "real" us, not the egotist self which,so far, is the only reality we know.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
And, of course, Ayurveda is a great miracle also, as so many of our friends have testified.But the main thing is to Know Thyself and discover our inherent beauty and grandeur.Which,possibly,may also impel us to create a better life on Mother Earth than we have seen so far.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" />Best regards,<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" />Avinash<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><a href="http://poshaning.blogspot.com/" style="color: #1e66ae; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1345446125_0" style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">http://poshaning.blogspot.com/</span></a><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;" /></div>
