Spiral dynamics and the future of humanity

What if a sudden nuclear war breaks out leaving only 1/12th of the world population alive?

That would not definitely take us to dark age. Though we might be without electricity and the means to improve life on this Earth. We wont be starting from scratch. We will be helped by more evolved beings or our own higher Self or that which we familiarly call as 'God'.

Our kids will learn to meditate and tap their inner nine senses right from kindergarten. Left and right brain will be used in equal proportion and the life as a single unit will be realised more effectively. It may not achieve its peak nontheless fall out from the collective improvement.

There will be a lot to learn and we'll have spiral dynamics after all! :)

Life is a vivid dream

It is almost like rising and understanding the mentality of a foreign bred teenager. Things start to appear differently. When I committed acts against nature : a most horrible and gruesome act ever imaginable in my life. I thank Osama Bin Laden and Jack the Ripper! I am sort of better than them. LOLZ. Though not rising to the heights of championing the causes of hopeless million suffering in this world, I struggle against my most animal and inanimate insticts. What lightened up my day? The casual tone of a shopkeeper(Milk shop)? May be her vibrations were very higher than me and I borrowed them to improve my system.

I don't feel any burden of mornings mischeives. The reason of my existence - all crumble down before the mountain of infinite possibilities to explore this world. Why waste time questioning the unknown(read it 'which can never be known')? You can always help a few thousands in your lifetime.

Some tit-bits:

1. Tuticorians are so damn sure about reincarnation that they risk their lives in roads. Not only theirs but mine too. I haven't finalised my position on it.

2. Can anyone become a philosopher so great as Socrates, Plato in this century? Well one can. But the works will be understood and appreciated only after the death. What an irony?

3. I am too passionate about movies. Can't resist good ones. I would have been associated with arts in my previous births!

4. Wanted to live a life which others only dream of. Not that luxurious sort of stuff but definitely a ulagam sutrum valiban. I do not want to be caught up in a mess of society and system. I wish I fell directly from heaven into the Earth.

5. How true that we exist in a state of nothingness! Its the truth hard to accept.

6. I know that I am selfish and so pleasure-seeking. But what should I do to become selfless. Observed the causes of suffering and misery in this worldly existence. What exactly waits after-life? Some real classical event which actually happens at the right time when I get into resonance and start the ascension process.

7. Very intersted in reading books. And even have secret desires to write books.

8. Everybody dreams like me, but few take the risk. Where can I buy courage? I read and understood too much of things intellectually that its bothering me now. Crazy indeed.

9. I wish to tread on the mountains of Himalayas learning the philosophies of all religions to reach the state of Nirvana while I tread upon this Earth.

10. Rather than discoursing information alone as a sage, I would like to plunge into action to help the suffering and poor souls.

Thoughts can cage you

I have been told that thoughts have wings!
I doubt that : Others thoughts can cage your freedom.
The expectations and roles to be played in the society bind
you to an invisible yet compact realm.
You freedom of expression and individuality are lost for the
worst reasons.
Per se, if someone loses individuality, it implies his perception
of ONEness.
Rather a paradoxical situation occurs here, you lose your individuality
and your sense of seperation magnifies. Baffling to most minds.
You have lost individuality for the wrong reasons.
So the pill to liberation is surrender and escape the cage or
keep banging until you lose your mind to end up in a lunatic asylum.
The wise wish to be like the wind! Neither cage nor fence can limit them.
Katrukenna veli, Kadalukenna moodi!

I want to be at 4 till I die!

What on Earth does it mean? I want to be a child-hearted man(coined at 8:33pm 22nd July by Master Jai). That doesn't mean crawling the floor and chewing the thumb. The lovely curiosity of a 4-year old which always looks even the same old blue sky as the eighth wonder of the world.

Entirely free from the cobweb of rationalisms and skepticisms, yet living in this beautiful world. Some flee to forests and nature to attain enlightenment. I want to be enlightened in my office in front of my computer or on the way to my home in electric train. Little BIT difficult, what is impossible with man is possible with GOD!

What a mighty God we serve? How mighty is our inner most being? How awful have we made a mess of our own minds?

Yours Lovingly, Father

Imagine this situation:

God appears before you and gives you two options.
Either of the options which you choose will come to reality in the next second.

1. You can transform yourself into an angel of light and settle in the celestial heavens forever.
2. You can ask what you want.

If you choose (1), definitely God will be happy to set you at his right hand in heavens. But still when you choose (2) and ask him the grace to bring back more of his lost sheep into HIS kingdom staying on this earth till you pass out, he will be more happier because you chose to carry out his will!

Matrix movie on a new light

Suddenly something falls into place:

Here Neo in the matrix world talks to the oracle - a computer generated program yet looking absolutely human concerning the future of the world. She makes an astounding statement by saying that he has already made the choice and time ticks away just to understand why he made that choice! What a punch line? LORD, any comments? How come you are going to make me understand this?

Funniest (s)crap on a youtube video

"Perhaps we could help demonstrate to the people of NK that we have peaceful intentions, while also demonstrating other options, by dropping, say, flowers with notes, from stealth aircraft, at night, undetected, over all their urban centers, on auspicious dates."

Some American i guess.. who else talks about stealth and peace?? ROTFL

Technology and human life

It's exciting to play a hi-fi video game using our play station without eating and sleeping for hours together : just for the thrill! It's easy to sit in a newly borne job (soon after college) enjoying the bachelor's life with plentiful financial resources. Finally just before closing our eye on the death bed, we remember all sorts of unfulfiled wishes and how you wished to live without an end! It was too late by then to think about eternal life. You were so satisfied with the pleasures of this life that we seldom look at on what's on the other side of life -BEYOND DEATH. We never wanted to discuss such issues primarily because it puts a full stop to our conscious existence. We are ready to believe any kind of man-made doctrines of re-incarnation and karma cycles as long as to satisfy and decieve our own selves. But when presented the TRUTH we sternly object it to face calling it all sorts of names from 'hurting religious centiments!' , 'intrusion of private space' , 'sacrileging traditional and cultural beliefs,' and what not!

We are so adamant to the point of death. Our souls are tied together with technology that it makes up our world and a little icing of GOD here and there ! We call it a humble pie while it is baked with self-pride and ego! It's a pity that our inner eyes are blinded to the very TRUTH! We make holes in Ozone and we mend them. It's a part and parcel of our existence. We primarily spend time by exploring the unknown and confusing the known; and we are satisfied with it. The devil is also satisfied as long as we don't find the way to the tree of life. What we see, feel, hear and taste makes our existence. Annddd... our forefather's bed time stories are courageous and romantic to hear. They develop so called good characters. OK! They call it different names : mind relaxation techniques, isha yoga, ancestor's mystical secrets and their communication with the great divine spirit. While what the sages did were really pure and original while the present day methods are as distorted and corrupt as it was pure those days. Our pride-filled ego staunchly refuses any jot or word that questions its very nature! That's it we are soul tied to it.Only God can save us.

A few moments in Glory

If our interpretation of the Bible is correct, we will enjoy our best times with our Lord Jesus Christ!! Guess what, they are the most exciting times when we can meet James, John, Paul, Peter, Thomas, Matthew, Mark, Luke and so on!! I would also be a part of it accompanying Jesus when he comes in glory with clouds! It would really be a pleasant sight

He is my everything!!

YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING

After several days of crying unto the LORD, just like David puts them in Psalms; I sense the spirit of God moving whenever HE becomes my object of focus. Most of the time, I went into his presence complaining the way I was tossed by religious doctrines, asking for more hunger for souls, for healing, to let me know the next step to be done in his ministry and so on - as if my Father(God) cared really less about it!
You know, like sort of reminding him now and then, that I exist. As soon as I realised this wonderful truth, I began to concentrate on HIM alone; I confused myself trying to mix Honey with Grains! Grains represent the spirit of God with which God wants us to be moved rather than by our human weakness and emotions! Pastor Joseph Prince is truly an anointed servant of God to preach the good news of grace and love of the Father revealed in Jesus Christ. Its high time I realised the warmth of God's favour and blessings every moment in my life. What my life was supposed to be in Christ!! Praise the LORD! Hallelujah!!
Putting aside all the thoughts that trouble your mind, whether it be sickness; stress; money related problems; bad relation; evil powers at work in your life; praise God as David did!! Whenever his enemies surrounded him, whenever his soul longed for Gods presence, he simply believed in the name of the LORD! That wrought many miracles in his life and God himself testified that he was a man after his own heart!! What a testimony!! Today, we qualify for every blessing of God in the name of Jesus Christ our righteousness, our peace, our holiness, our wisdom and our sancitification. What more can we ask God, but praise Him with all our heart for all his good deeds!!

Questions in my heart

Oh my Heavenly Father, What a mess have me made of your creations!
When I stand in the streets, its hard to see anything which you created except the blue sky which testify your righteousness;
They converted the bare fields to tar grounds for transportation - increasing vehicle pollution and depleting our protective covering;
People pollute their own bodies indulging in lustful activities, smoking, drinking unaware of your divine purpose for which it was created;
Oh! How you loved to commune with us in our body - how we are blessed to be your holy temple!!
What more can we ask than the creator coming into our hearts to rest with all your Glory and Power!!
What a wretched sinners we are? Yet you loved us so much that you gave your only Begotten son on cross to reconcile us with yourself!
When do we get enlightened in your knowledge? When do we stop fighting over landscapes and property?
When will the hunger and disease end? When will you come back to execute judgement , O righteous God?
How do we understand your ways Almighty Father? When can we enter your most holy presence again?
When do we stop our own conceit and take heed to your words? Lord, come quickly

O all ye religious people, how diligently you pray to God?
How diligently you make offerings and build temples?
How sincerely you claim to love God? How pathetically you chant mantras void of understanding?
O chosen people of God, when will you return to your LORD's ways?
When will you stop walking after the evil imagination of your hearts?
When will you believe the words which proceeds directly from the mouth of God?
How wonderfully the devil has crafted traps to snare people?
How ignorantly we fall into them muddled by man-made doctrines and tailored worship of God?
Are all men saints and proclaim nothing but truth?
Why do we accept everything that is pleasing to our minds without discerning its origin - God or devil?
Don't you know that Devil can disguise himself like the angel of light?
How many more prophets and how many miracles must be done ?
Don't you know that it is an abomination in the sight of the Creator?
When will you realise His side of fury and judgement impending upon us?
How many believe that God is so happy to see man with all the technological progress and scientific advancemtnts?
Did God create the Earth to be rubbished and then mended , atlast leading to irrepairable damage?
When will you stop and listen to the voice of the LORD?
Why have you kept your loving God as a seperate entity accessible only when you need him?
Is that why he created you?

Three things to remember for my lifetime

As I go through this let me point out three Biblical Characters whom God liked very much;what special qualities they had or what made their lives a sweet smelling offering in the sight of God.

1. JOB :

He was the richest person in the Eastern part of the world. God gave him seven sons and three daughters. But suddenly destruction came through his window. Not an ordinary destruction ! Something that can drive a man insane !! He lost all his wealth - three daughters and seven sons. All in a single day!! Imagine the horror that would have befallen his future. It didn't stop with it. He caught terrible skin diseases and developed leprosy.

In this utterly chaotic situation, JOB said something that's pleasing and beyond our imagination.

Job 1:21

21 And he said:

“ Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;
Blessed be the name of the LORD.”

Can anyone say like this after losing all our wealth, heirs -- standing in the streets , scratching our skin rotten with disease. What a tremendous FAITH does this chap had on God? This made him pleasing and wonderful in the sight of the Lord!! He restored everything doubly to him and we can read in the closing chapters.

2. DAVID :

David was the eighth son to his father. He did not have intelligence like the rest of his brothers and so was made a shepherd to tend the flock. But his Heavenly Father had totally different plans for him. God sent Samuel(Prophet) to Jesse to select the next King of Israel. Jesse was none other than the father of David. What made him so special ? See for yourself

Psalm 103:1-5

A Psalm of David.

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

It is this praise in his mouth that made him righteous in the eyes of the Lord.

3. PETER :

Peter was one of the twelve apostles of Christ Jesus.

Luke 5:1-11

1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

Did you get the key? What made Peter so liked and a great Apostle ? It was his obedience to the word of God . That is the key behind everything.

The more we obey God's commandment and follow his ways. The more will he bless us. As long as we are in his course, there is no trouble. But when we derail from the wonderful path he has laid out for us, he will definitely chastise us until we fall back on place(Just like a father does).

Amen.

School of Rock Vs High School Musical Trilogy Vs Moulin Rouge

The Movie which I watched and loved lately :

Oh my God, I could not ask a better Gift than this! Certainly critics don't rate this movie high when compared with Bruce Almighty. But I am quite convinced that this movie will stay in my memories forever. Such a nice movie on God's love, human relations and so on..

Some of the funniest dialogues are : Evan(steve carell) after acknowledging God's love and his commands to build an ark goes through a psychological struggle with this family members. His wife and three kids leave the home leaving Evan to question God's love. Suddenly he asks, "Wouldn't you God ? please , love me less."

When Morgan Freeman(God) speaks to Evan's wife in a cafeteria, those scenes and words of wisdom are celestial and charming. Nothing could replace that part.

It is a must watch, i would give a 9/10 hmmm...

Well I am planning to watch 40 year old virgin too... :-)

The World's Fastest Indian

I happened to watch this wonderful movie named, "The Worlds Fastest Indian." It's about a Newzealand chap's passionate journey of following his heart- building a race bike - all by himself- and making it count in the international motor show held at USA.

His old age(64) or the angina associated with his ageing does not deter his attitude towards the race.The dignity and pride associated with his work makes him oblivous of its outcomed. My perspective has already changed on how I look at people doing mean jobs(meagre wages) around me. I have always pitied them for their destitute situation, and the restricted resources with which they have to ride their life. But now I learn that nothing is mean or rude unless you do it without interest or just for the sake of money. So I urge you all to follow your hearts.When you were created by God, he definitely had a purpose in mind and engraved it in your minds too. When you get a chance to choose between heart and brain, choose wisely.

But the way Burt Munro(Anthony Hopkins) looked on his life was peculiar as well as charming. He didn't even have the luxury of buying tickets to USA -- to exhibit his bike there. But still he kept on working, reminding that God will certainly open a door for him. Then after several hardships, he made it to the place and went to impeccable glory by fulfiling his dream. He recorded the highest speed(201 mph?) ever and that record stands still today (source:Wiki). It was a true story in case you haven't figured it our before.

Hurricane Nisha

Chennai was left shattered and dark for the past two days. Thanks to Hurricane Nisha which made candle light dinners possible in every chennaiites home, with the EB authorities suspending power due to fear of of short circuits. While people started opening small boat shops, the Hurricane slipped away silently into the seas after making most of the damages on Wednesday and Thursday. 

         Our municipal corporation were gracious enough while constructing roads. Seems like they had bigger plans of converting the roads into swimming pools during rainy seasons, to give the Chennaiites a feel of lake riding through the mount road and adequate preparation before the next Tsunami strikes.

       EB authorities were delighted at the possibility of shutting powers indefinitely as a precautionary measure. They were able to save power with water logged streets and flooded area levels reaching past EB posts. If that was not enough, dams were opened to prevent them from breaking. What an idea ? Finally the residents of Velachery could do nothing except to borrow sailing skills from their vyasarpadi residents and making thermocoal cuttings to sail across their homes. 

       The water level in my area reached a peak and had higher chances of entering into my home. If it were not for God's mercy, the rain would have swept across our house leaving us in despair exposing us to infectious diseases and breeding grounds for mosquitoes. I could not relate to the woes of the ailing families caught in isle of waters surrounding their house. Truly it must have been a devastating experience to be dealt with.

       I could not imagine how Noah's days would have been when the rain poured continously for six months incessantly. It must be true that the water reached mountain tops. Thank God. We were fortunate enough to escape such a downpour. But still be on the watchout for potholes in the centre of roads(even .. TAR toads). Don't easily put your vehicle through a water stagnant area without knowing the area road before hand. 

       The TAR roads in my area were the first to succumb to rain forming dentures and fissures with every vehicle falling into its depth making it even more problematic. Adulteration to the core. God save us!!

The Answer my friend... is blowin in the wind...

Ed Ames Song Lyrics :

From the canyons of the mind,
We wander on and stumble blindly
Through the often-tangled maze
Of starless nights and sunless days,
While casting for some kind of clue
Or road to lead us to the truth,
But who will answer?

Side by side two people stand,
Together vowing, hand-in-hand
That love's imbedded in their hearts,
But soon an empty feeling starts
To overwhelm their hollow lives,
And when we seek the hows and whys,
Who will answer?

High upon a lonely ledge,
a figure teeters near the edge,
And jeering crowds collect below
To egg him on with, "Go, man, go!"
And who will ask what led him
To his private day of doom,
And who will answer?

On a strange and distant hill,
A young man's lying very still.
His arms will never hold his child,
Because a bullet running wild
Has cut him down. And now we cry,
"Dear God, Oh, why, oh, why?"
And who will answer?

(Full melody the rest of the song)

If the soul is darkened by a fear it cannot name,
If the mind is baffled when the rules don't fit the game,
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will answer?

In the rooms of dark and shades,
The scent of sandalwood pervades.
The colored thoughts in muddled heads
Reclining in rumpled beds
Of unmade dreams that can't come true,
And when we ask what we should do,
Who? Who will answer?

'Neath the spreading mushroom tree,
The world revolves in apathy
As overhead, a row of specks
Roars on, drowned out by discotheques,
And if a secret button's pressed
Because one man has been outguessed,
Who will answer?

Is our hope in walnut shells
Worn 'round the neck with temple bells,
Or deep within some cloistered walls
Where hooded figures pray in halls?
Or crumbled books on dusty shelves,
Or in our stars, or in ourselves,
Who will answer?

If the soul is darkened
By a fear it cannot name,
If the mind is baffled
When the rules don't fit the game,
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will answer?
Alleluiah! Alleluiah! Alleluiah!

Annie J. Flint - An extraordinary poet with extra ordinary disabilities yet how?

1. He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
   He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;
   To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
   To multiplied trials He multiplies peace.
2. When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
   When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
   When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
   Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
3. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
   Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
   Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
   The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
4. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
   His power no boundary known unto men;
   For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
   He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

Prayer to my God

O Thou who camest from above,

the pure celestial fire to impart
kindle a flame of sacred love
upon the mean altar of my heart.

There let it for thy glory burn
with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its source return,
in humble prayer and fervent praise.

Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work and speak and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire,
and still stir up thy gift in me.

Ready for all thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make my sacrifice complete.

Love - What is it and how do the present generation fight it ? Yes , How do they win their love ?

'Love' is one of the most sacred words I have ever heard. While there are several types of love as identified by ancient Greeks -- Philo , Eros and Agape . This post discusses the second one which is the most confused as we know.  

Eros is a type of bond shared between a boy and a girl mostly involving romantic relationships.

Some see it as a passage to express their care for someone while others take it as a relationship to satisfy their personal desires and momentary needs. The present day love barely stands on the pillars of media projected love relationship.  Some fall prey to adoloscent infatuation confusing friendship  with love. These to some extent owe their share to peer pressure and the society we live in. Shakspeare once talked about , " Love at first sight ." Well , I am still trying to figure out whether he was drunk when he wrote that :) . Looks and beauty are not a good point to start with your so called 'Love'. Sadly , what Shakspeare said is irrefutably the plight of human beings. Each one will find something different and appealing in others in their first meeting or in due course after spending days together.If it happens the second way, I feel it’s well and good.

 

I have seen people swapping girl friends just like switching channels on a T.V . To those light hearted souls , it is just another mischevious page in their dairy of life - probably beefed up with colour and fun-filled days. They are always on a lookout for someone to support and be with them through their darkest and happy times. Things get topsy curvy when a break-up happens owing to family problems and ego clashes. Some stand against all the odds fighting their way to achieve what they want. Others simply compromise that they were not really made for each other and be on the backfoot , embracing the family and live in memories of the good times they shared - once upon a time. 

 

The last question which comes between people who love is -- How are they going to break the jinx with their family ? Some take a daring attempt to answer this question combating the sorrows and difficult situations thrown by the society while others simply succumb to it , paving way for their parents happiness and social acceptance. It's left to the individual.It all depends on how mentally prepared the couple are. With a society which bases its pride and existence on caste , love is still a blasphemous word to most of the Indian families. They are simply not ready to let off their pride to accept an inter-cultural marriage. Their fears are justified - we should not simply ignore the fact that they will be treated as social outcasts by their own relatives.  Still,  there are good families who are more interested in their children's future , who let go off their caste and family relations , to stand beside the couple and acknowledge their love. But rarely do we find such scenario. 

 

More on the cause and effect , the bonds shared between lovers and who are successful in future posts.
