UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

The purpose of being human, as we shift into the New Reality, is to learn about heart-centred consciousness. The universe is, by its very design, filled with the love of the Original Creator. Universal love is the aspect of Original Consciousness which holds Creation together. In the Original... Sign in to see full entry.

MOBS & MARTYRDOM

(Today's post is triggered by the blog of Odysseus on religious cult and the evil that they propagate) The question of massive misconception and group behaviour is attributed to two factors. These are: 1. The trigger or phase change threshold. Those of us who have studied physics, we are familiar... Sign in to see full entry.

BE TRULY THANKFUL FOR ALL BLESSINGS

Today we celebrate a festival of thanksgiving (for bountiful harvest) in Tamilnadu state, India. I thought this would be an appropriate post for the day. It was indeed rightly noted that some persons sigh when they thank God. This implies that they utter such words of thanks, as if it were a duty to... Sign in to see full entry.

GOD CONCEPT - A PROBABLE CONSTRUCT

(This blog has been inspired by Odysseus post 'Will they ever succeed in finding the monster') The search for a physical or even mental construct of God is an impossibility for humans as long as we are rooted to the space-time domain. Whatever concepts that have been propounded are purely... Sign in to see full entry.

FORGIVE AND FORGET, THEN MOVE ON

The start of a new year is auspicious for certain kinds of amnesia: to forgive and forget old spites, to resolve not to grow or nurse new ones. Although this sounds simple enough, how do you absolve a crime in one fell swoop and strike it off the record as well? Each of the two options — forgive or... Sign in to see full entry.

NATURE OF THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL

(I am responding to Bhaskar's post as usual as it has generated some interesting comments especially from Troosha) The vedantic concept has been explained by Bhaskar through the invocation ' Aham Brahmasmi' and ' Tat Twam Asi '. Perhaps there is a slight distinction to be made between ' jiva', which... Sign in to see full entry.

NOURISHING THE TEACHER AND THE TAUGHT

(A few days back Bhaskar responded to my comment in these words "There is a beautiful prayer in the Upanishad, where before beginning an Enquiry, the Guru and the shishya both pray, "May we be nourished together". This post is an elaboration) The prayer referred is the opening invocation in 'Katha... Sign in to see full entry.

TOUGHNESS WITHIN -HOW IT MANIFESTS

Resilience literally refers to the quality of any substance to regain its original form after compression. In its broader sense, this word connotes, when applied to persons, the capacity to be persistent in pursuit of one’s objective, even when confronted by odds and discouragement. This ‘never say...

UNDERSTANDING THE CREATOR – CREATURE RELATIONSHIP

(I found it difficult to accept the last part of Odysseus post "THE UNIVERSAL FORCE! ARE YOU WITH IT OR AGAINST IT?", hence I thought a post from my understanding for a more general audience would be welcome) All creations are indivisible part of the creator. Let us take a cell in our body. We call... Sign in to see full entry.

Quantum consciousness and fate

The Brahmavaivarta Purana and certain other narrations conceive of the story of Savitri, who had married Satyavaan, though she had known that, as per astrological predictions, he was destined to die young. Reposing full confidence in the power of her chastity and love which bound her to Satyavaan,... Sign in to see full entry.
