Sahaja Yoga Public program in Madagascar August 4, 2009

Dear family,

Last Sunday we had Public program here in Antananarivo. We had totally 50-55 people.

It was nice surprise for me. Looks like local Sahaja yogis have very deep meditations and the vibrations are attracting a lot of new people.

Feminine Gender of the Holy Spirit April 9, 2009

In the most ancient of the rare Old Syriac copies, the Siniatic Palimpsest, from the 4th or 5th century, found in the Covenant of St. Catherine in the Sinia by Mrs. Anes Lewis and transcribed by Syriac Professor R.L. Bensly of Cambridge University in 1892, the words of Jesus in John 14:26 read:

 

“But She—the Spirit-the Paraclete whom He will send to you-my Father-in my name—She will teach you everything; She will remind you of that which I have told you.”

Hundredth Monkey Theory July 15, 2008

“Quantum Monkey is based on the “Hundredth Monkey Theory,”  which
has demonstrated that once critical mass is achieved, profound
changes can take place.
This theory developed from actual
observations of monkeys on islands in the South Pacific. After World
War II, the Japanese took possession of several unoccupied islands
in this region. The soil proved to be ideal for growing vegetables,
which they cultivated throughout the land.

Despite their success with farming, the Japanese encountered a
problem they hadn’t anticipated. The monkeys living on the islands
were delighted with the new foods and began to raid the fields. To
deter them, the farmers began giving the monkeys sweet potatoes.
They would take the sweet potatoes down to the beach — as far away
from the fields as possible — and dump them there for the monkeys.
To the monkeys’ dismay, the sweet potatoes were covered with sand,
which they had to spit out with every mouthful. This unpleasant
practice continued for some until one day, on the island of Koshima,
eighteen-month-old female monkey was observed washing her sweet
potato in the ocean. Her mother noticed, and soon she too began
washing her sweet potato in the ocean. Gradually, more and more
monkeys on the island began to imitate this ritual, particularly the
youngest ones.

Researchers named and tagged the monkeys and continued to monitor
their behavior. Within about five years, approximately fifty-eight
monkeys on Koshimo were regularly washing the sand off their sweet
potatoes. As it happened, an identified monkey took one of the sweet
potatoes and began washing the sand off it in the ocean. This
newcomer was dubbed “the hundredth monkey.” By that evening, almost
all the remaining monkeys in the tribe were washing their sweet
potatoes before eating them. The added energy of “the hundredth
monkey” had created an ideological breakthrough! But this was not
all. The researchers observed that other colonies of monkeys on
nearby islands — monkeys that had never seen another monkey wash
sweet potatoes in the ocean — mysteriously began washing their
sweet potatoes as well. Thus the theory evolved that when a critical
number of individuals achieves an awareness, this new awareness may
be communicated from mind to mind.

Although the exact sum may vary,  the “Hundredth Monkey
Phenomenon” means that when a limited number of people know of a new
way, it may remain the conscious property of these people
. However,
there is a point at which if only one more person becomes attuned to
this new perspective, an energy field is strengthened that allows
this knowledge to be available to almost everyone.”

 

HUMAN OR STILL ANIMAL April 10, 2008

“Free Will” is our basic human right to make a decision one way or the other BUT the animal (genetic & hormones) and human influences (cultural, religious, political, etc) that are ingrained in our psyche pretty much decide the way we will think and act. Most people will live within the constraints of their religion and society but some will not and risk suffering the consequences what ever they may be (great or small).

How much of a “free will” do people really have? Are we free to make decisions without being influenced by outside or physical and mental constraints? We may have a limited “free will” but we also have all these animal instincts and inherited genes, along with sex hormones surging through our body that makes us act the way we do.

In addition to this we have the storytellers constantly feeding us information, some good and some bad. The stories we hear throughout our life, from the time we learn the words and language of our parents and culture to the end of our existence we our constantly being bombarded by things we hear or see.

The culture we grow up in, listening to our parents, our friends, peers, teachers, government, authors, the media, songwriters, neighbors, rabbis, priests, mullahs, philosophers, etc., all become a part of our self. All these influences create the overall path which we follow throughout our lives.

On a personal basis each of us is unique – no one has exactly the same influences or genes acting on our psyche – whether it is mental or physical we are constantly being influenced by the physical forces within us or the forces that surround us.

Animals are not affected by these stories, we could talk all day long to our pets and they really wouldn’t be emotionally effected one way or the other.

Examples of the basic animal concerns are:

* Physical nutrition – The constant need to obtain nutrition to satisfy their hunger. Where is their next meal or water hole?

* Domination – to be dominant over their territory – they (the wolves, etc.) mark off the boundaries with sprits of urine.

* Procreation – The need to reproduce. Males must always either have to defend their dominant position in their group or get up the courage to fight the dominant male so that they will be in a position to mate with the females.

* Survival – The need to defend themselves and survive in their environment. Animal instincts must always be on the alert for danger.

Base on above quoted concerns we can make introspection for our life.

MEDITATION CAN CHANGE THE BRAIN April 1, 2008

00a.jpg

In Boston, Massachusetts, Dr Sara Lazar has used a technique called MRI scanning to analyze the brains of people who have been meditating for several years.

She compared the brains of these experienced practitioners with people who had never meditated and found that there were differences in the thickness of certain areas of the brain’s cortex, including areas involved in the processing of emotion.
She is continuing research, but she believes that meditation had caused the brain to change physical shape.
“All of these things are just thoughts. And, they will come up in meditation and learning to recognize what they are as thoughts, and let them go, can be enormously empowering for anybody.”…
