Welcome


Welcome to the English version of the blog brouillondeconscience ('draft of consciousness' when translated from French).


How do we reconcile our spiritual quest with the reality of our daily life?
Often, in our "search for the Self" we begin to see the world as illusory, therefore we start ignoring it.
Yet this world of transient events is no more than the beaming expression of the Self.
This blog attempts to express the attention to the transient and the recognition of its Source.

Fukushima - H1N1: the same media logic : OPINION by Jean-Jacques Crevecoeur

Forwarded message from the website: 
http://www.jean-jacques-crevecoeur.com/
 
 
Dear friends,
No, do not count on me. 
Do not count on me as you did in the fall of 2009 when I was fighting against proposed compulsory mass vaccination against H1N1. 
Do not expect me to lead a new fight against nuclear power, following the catastrophic events that take place in Fukushima Daiishi. 

Why? Because I led the fight back nearly two years has cost me dearly. Very expensive in time, energy expensive, very expensive silver, very expensive reputation, psychologically very expensive, very expensive emotionally, spiritually very expensive.I knew intellectually that when combat what seems to us evil, we become like the evil we fight. I knew intellectually, but I did not feel in my flesh. 

Looking back these past eighteen months, I understood only part of my action was very helpful to hundreds of thousands of people who received the information they needed to make the decision not to be vaccinated with this vaccine dangerous and sometimes deadly. My work (and that of other militants) was useful in reducing the governments in the proposed mandatory vaccination (I received confirmation from confidential military they expected orders to regulate by force operations vaccination - fortunately, these orders were never given, finally, for fear of civil war in our country).

By cons, another facet of my work (the one where my emotions took control of my posts) has fueled what I wanted to fight. And that, I'm not about to forget the hard lesson of life that was mine ... 

Nevertheless. 

I am struck by the fact that once again, industries and governments confirm their holy alliance with the mainstream media to protect their interests, mocking fully in our lives, our health and our physical integrity. 

fukushima4-3-2-1.jpg

I repeat. I really have no intention of going to war against anyone. And I do not intend to spend hours. I just need to ask some questions, to send you some references informative (to check the contents of my questions) and let you draw your own conclusions. The questions that I (you) asked:
  • Why the media has stopped to inform us ten days after the nuclear disaster Fukushima, while the situation there is getting worse?
  • Why one of the first decisions taken by public health authorities has been to raise the level of acceptable doses that people can cash? As if the impending catastrophe had suddenly made our bodies more resistant to radioactivity ...
  • Why public health authorities and governments have given the order to stop publishing the radioactivity measurements since late March?
  • Why do these same authorities have ordered them to stop measuring the levels of radioactivity in the northern hemisphere, while we pay our taxes, measuring stations?
  • Why have we been hiding for two and half months that the hearts of Units 1, 2 and 3 were melted in the hours and days after March 11 last, while many independent experts announced in the days the disaster?
  • Why no protection board is given to us by the public health authorities, to us who are concerned about the contamination of air, soil and water?
  • Why do not they tell us that every time it rains, we should avoid going out, or else use a large umbrella to not bring home, water and contaminated particles?
  • Why almost no media revealed that, at the end of March, the milk of several U.S. states had an abnormally high level of radioactivity (since then, the same observations were made in France)? In explaining that the rain had contaminated grass meadows grazed by cows ...
  • Why do we do we reveal that the mortality of infants has risen sharply the past two months, in the states of the American West? In Philadelphia, for example, mortality increased from 48% in one month because of contaminated milk and contaminated water from the tap ... ( reference )
  • Why do not we are told that hundreds of thousands of tons of water dumped on the reactors are on the verge of overflowing basements plants, and thus further contaminating the area, groundwater and the ocean ? And the Japanese have no solution to this problem ...
  • Why we do we believe that the situation is under control, while water spills only delayed the moment when a major explosion occur?
  • Why do not they tell us that the building number four is on the verge of collapse, with the risk of release into the environment, huge amounts of plutonium that can scratch the card for Japan 100,000 years ( reference )?
  • Why all the videos of a French national living in Japan were they removed from his Youtube account since Monday, June 20? It should be noted that Alex put a video on YouTube almost daily to inform of the situation experienced from Japan. So far, his videos were viewed by 2-4000 people. His video of this weekend, in which he expressed his anger and despair has already received 67,000 visitors in 48 hours, when the account was closed! Freedom of information, you say? Fortunately, the Internet had the clever idea to copy the video and put online .
A small final, just for the road! 
  • Why the Obama administration does she give the order to ban flights over the central Fort Calhoun (Nebraska) by private aircraft and helicopters, preventing journalists to inform the public of the alarming situation takes place following the floods caused by overflow of Missouri?
  • Why is this same administration she ordered that no information on the perilous situation of the plant is disclosed (see picture below)?
fortcalhoun.jpg

Here are some references from which you can do your own reading. I put the references on my website, in a nuclear issue . Every time I go see a review article, I will add it on my own site. 

I spent a hundred hours, to make me a personal opinion, checking each time what was the interest of the person speaking. It is interesting to note that all the independent experts, without exception, are critical and concerned about what is happening and the consequences for the environment, human health and the future of the planet. By cons, no expert working for the nuclear industry, no government involved heavily in nuclear power (like France and USA) is worried about what is happening. Rather, they reaffirm, loud and clear that nuclear power is irreplaceable, safe and even good for the fight against global warming ... So what are we complaining about? 

As you reflect on what is happening in our world. 
To you now to venture out of your naivety about how the world works and is directed. 
Do you frankly that the media's mission to inform us? Do you really believe? 
Do you frankly that the industries are concerned about our well-being, our health, our lives? Do you really believe? 
Do you frankly that governments are there to defend the weak we are against the powerful of this world? Do you really believe? 

It's stronger than me. But I can not help but draw a parallel with the very simple case of H1N1. 
  • For influenza, there was no danger of a pandemic. Some experts, like Professor Debre have said repeatedly since July 2009. We saw that in the southern hemisphere (in winter from June to September 2009), there were fewer deaths than in other years, although they did not have the life-saving vaccine ... Despite the absence of danger The media have maintained a climate of fear every day since April 25, 2009 until December 15, 2009! Daily.As with what result? 17,000 flu deaths in one year (against 250,000 to 500,000 annual deaths due to seasonal influenza), that is to say nothing!
  • For Fukushima and Fort Calhoun, there is a real danger. Thousands of square kilometers have already been lost for hundreds of years in Japan. Babies die in the U.S., dairy products are contaminated, hundreds of millions of liters of water are contaminated in the basement of central and in the ocean.Radioactive particles are released into the atmosphere continuously for three months. What do the media? Nothing. They say nothing.
My comment: for H1N1, it was the media amplify fear the face of danger does not exist to serve the interests of an industry in decline (pharmaceutical companies). For Fukushima and Fort Calhoun, the media must remain silent in front of a real danger to serve the interests of an industry loss of credibility and control (nuclear). 

Want another parallel? 
  • For influenza, WHO has lowered its threshold criteria of a pandemic April 29, 2009 (four days after the first warning). This allowed him to declare that the pandemic had reached level 6 (highest) June 11, 2009, automatically triggering the execution of the contracts had been signed four years ago between governments and pharmaceutical companies. In these contracts, it was specified that if the WHO pandemic declarative level 6, governments committed themselves automatically to control the vaccines to fight against this pandemic.
  • In Fukushima, WHO and health authorities have identified the acceptable levels of irradiation of the population and nuclear workers. What can not be forced to order mass evacuations of populations, since these new thresholds are not met!
My comment: the concepts of biological threshold and acceptability criteria are not determined based on medical or biological, but rather on political, economic and financial. 

A final parallel? 
  • For influenza, experts who spoke in favor of vaccination and who defended the reality of the pandemic were all paid by pharmaceutical companies that manufactured the vaccines. Those who were against vaccination and who have denounced the manipulation of figures, facts and information had nothing to gain, on the contrary (I am well placed to testify). But it is they who have made liars of conspiracy, the conspiracy theorists, cult gurus, and so on. Until a few teams of journalists confirm what they said, but with six to nine months late ... When the coffers of drug companies were busy, and when thousands of people suffering from vaccine side effects (death, paralysis, neurodegeneration, narcolepsy, heart defects in newborns, etc.)..
  • In Fukushima, the experts who speak to reassure us on the safety of nuclear waste on the harmlessness of Fukushima and the control of the situation are, coincidentally, all paid by the nuclear industry. Those who spend their energy not to mention to relay some information available in the world have nothing to gain, again. Yet, just a few minutes stroll on the forums to see how they are attacked by those who refuse to see. During that time, babies begin to die in the western United States ...
My comment: all is said, it is money that rules the world. 

If I had time, I would do the same in-depth analysis about other events that we live or we have experienced. I would invite you to reflect, for example, which is behind thebacterium E. coli, which supposedly causes a massacre in Germany. As with the influenza virus A H1N1, this bacterium is considered by microbiologists as a natural impossibility. For them, it is impossible that the same bacterium is resistant to the eight major classes of antibiotics. But who do we point the finger as alleged perpetrators of this massacre (excuse me, but 39 deaths, it is not a massacre)? An ugly exploitation of organic farm in Germany OUH ... villains who grow again to the old! But do not worry, scientists already have the solution: it will be sufficient to irradiate all foods systematically (as many are already in the traditional food industry). So: farewell organic, living foods farewell. Welcome to the world of any chemical, all irradiated at all sterile. 

So this time, the media interest to amplify fear to serve the interests of the agribusiness industry, promoters of GMOs and crop protection. 

Tentative conclusion 

As I said at the beginning, do not count on me to start again in another battle. 
For this fight, like all other (shale gas hold-up of countries and populations by private banks, chemtrails, state terrorism, pseudo-global warming, etc..), Is unnecessary. 

Why? 

Because all these things we are currently experiencing are a symptom of the old world collapses. 
The logic of nuclear power is falling apart and never recover. 
Pharmaceutical logic is now flopping and never recovered. 
The logic is food out of breath and not rise either. 
The logic of financial concentration saw his last hour before a bankruptcy global and systemic. 
All logic based on preserving the interests of a few at the expense of the vast majority of living beings on this planet have made the world a rotten world. 

The trap that I made ​​myself was to believe that this world was my world. I thought I was part of this world, then it is not. I do not share any of the values ​​of that world, a world based on individualism, greed, the indifference, the cynicism, the wickedness of falsehood, violence, on unconsciousness. I do not share any of these. However, I recognize that there are areas of my individualism, greed, cynicism, malice, deceit, violence and unconsciousness. And that is why such a world is still standing, despite its extreme fragility. 

Since I got out of the fight, in January 2010, I ask myself one question: HOW TO CREATE A BETTER LIFE TOGETHER? 
In other words, and if we leave this old world crumble quietly, hoping that things are accelerating even? And if we really invest our energies to create another world. OUR world, one that corresponds to what we seek with all my heart ... A world where we would put the conscience at the heart of our lives, a world in which we could recognize the shares as shares light shade which are in each us. A world where respect for life, nature, consciousness is the central concern. 

In writing this I am well aware that I have no concrete solution to share with you. But know that I walk this path. I just sensed that this better world, together we trace the contours and that we invent laws. That's why I redouble my efforts to embody in my daily alchemical way, far from this duality GOOD - BAD. I hope that you too will find the way for you to not tie you to this old ship sinking and jumping, as there is still time. 

The only thing I am certain is that the more we let go of materialism, the less we will suffer shocks that await us in the coming months. That's what I worked for ten years now. I earn five times less than a decade ago, I am no longer owner of nothing (no house or car), but my company and my computer, I have no financial commitment to any institution ( I contracted to € 500,000 borrowed!). I feel ready and lighter to accommodate the wave of change. And you, are you ready (e)? 

Remain standing, conscious and fearless!

The fraility of Life

Yesterday my life almost came to an end, or could have taken a very sorrowful turn...

As I was accompanying a friend, both in a car on vacation,
we both fell asleep while driving... We woke up as the car hit a fence and partly de-routed,
with one wheel hanging up in the air... We were really lucky to have driven slowly and that
the fence was strong enough to hold us from falling down the valley...

These kind of experiences really make one think about life and death.

Electromagnetic waves of mobile phones: finally revealed?

I just watched the excellent French documentary “Mauvaises Ondes” (“Bad Electromagnetic Waves”), about the Taboo subject of the harmfulness of mobile phone electromagnetic-waves. To my knowledge it is among the first documentaries to demonstrate so well the harmfulness of those electromagnetic waves, and how it is dissimulated (concealed) due to huge lobbying and political pressures. What i discovered seeing that excellent documentary is that there have been many scientific studies showing the harmful, or even extremely harmful and cancer-provoking nature of mobile phones’ electromagnetic radiation. However, and as usually is in many other cases, due to lobbying, political pressures, financial pressures, and of course even life threats: the results of those studies have never been published, or if published – the media has “somehow” ignored them…

Unfortunately the doc is in French without subtitles for the moment (Press here for link).
If you are not interested to dig into the subject, I would suggest just two things:

- Check out the SAR value (DAS) (Specific Absorption Rate) of your mobile in the following list (Press here for link), keeping in mind that above 1 W/Kg is extremely risky (even much lower could be, however again, due to lobbying there is currently no independent norm value published).

- And considering the following scientific study: [“…In a country like Sweden, where in general those kind of political pressures are less common than in other countries, the Oncologist Prof. Lennart Hardell found the following results in humans: The use of mobile phones for at least 1 hour per day for a period of 10 years, doubles the risk of brain cancer at the same brain location in vicinity to the ear used for mobile communication! Likewise, if one started using mobile before the age of 20, they have 5 times more risk for brain tumor! This is due to the higher vulnerability of brain at young age. The Professor also shows that development of such tumors is very fast and lethal, and one may die in several months from the moment of tumor detection. It is therefore not surprising that many people that participated in the Professor’s ten-year study, were already dead when he tried to recruit them for his following studies…”]

Google, what do we actually know?



 Copied from the Google website  
We all use Google, so much.
It is so practical, so easy and fast.
It is a wonderful tool, it really is.
However, every success has its dark side,
especially when it is so wide-spread, all over
the world, with almost no competitors.
We  seem to become more and more aware
of such info.

Except mind you don't have any other problem

Mrs. Rachel Saperstein has just sent the kids to school when the phone rings. "Is your husband's name Amos Saperstein?" asks a voice.
"Yes it is," she replies.
"This is the police," says the voice. "There has been an accident and we would like you to come and identify the body."
Mrs. Saperstein arrives at the morgue, and an attendant shows her a body covered in a white sheet. He lifts the sheet. "Was this your husband?" he asks.
Mrs. Saperstein's eyes widen. "Oy, oy, oy!" she cries. "How did you -- yes, that's my husband -- how did you ever get your sheets so white?"
Just a woman's mind! The husband is dead and she is worried about how you get your sheets so white!
Mind takes you away from reality every moment. Except mind you don't have any other problem, neither sin nor past lives' evil acts; nor has God written your destiny on your forehead or in the lines of your hand or in the constellation of the stars. Your whole problem is very simple if you understand: it is your mind constantly taking you away from existence.

Shales Gas: danger for our environment?

The rarification of gasoline is driving more and more companies to look for non-conventional gas alternatives. Shales gas is amongst the major rising sources of unconventional gas, and its production is rising all over the globe. However, the techniques used for its extraction may be hazardeous for our environment and health. For more details, click here :  GASLAND movie

"Inside Job" Movie

An excellent documentary about the financial crisis that happened in Sep 2008, and that is happening now; it is amazing to see the courage of people like this film's director, in facing these rich people, and exposing them, despite threats and pressure.
See how the financial tycoons are more powerful than all the politicians and can  decide of all the laws to rule a country.

The Money Fix

I say this video is important, because it can make u understand what is going in the world,
and therefore not blindly turturing ourselves with frustration, fear, anxiety, and blind slavery
for what we think we "must" do... because otherwise, as we often have the feeling, we will
be pennyless, and in suffering and misery... so we have the feeling that we need to compete,
so that we dont "fall", and instead, others will fall. This is the intrinsic nature of the economic 
system that got shaped in the past century, 
it is not part of nature,
it is a human mind perversion, 
and because of that, 
the world is the way it is currently. 

For you to judge: (there is also option for subtitles)

Personality Types




I feel I have a legacy of laziness and escapism. Either I don’t feel energy, or if I do, I find it difficult to just completely let go. I feel a control.


I feel it is somewhere and has become part of your bio-computer. The mind functions as a computer, and we go on feeding it attitudes. They go on accumulating there and by and by they become deeply ingrained. Personalities can be divided into two categories. One, psychologists call the T-personality, toxic, and the other they call the N personality, nourishing.

A toxic personality is always looking at things in a negative way. The whole world view of the toxic personality is depressing, sad. The toxic personality hides in beautiful faces. A perfectionist is a toxic personality. You cannot say that something is wrong in a perfectionist, but the whole idea of being a perfectionist is to find errors, mistakes, loopholes. It is a trick. You cannot find any fault with a man who looks for perfection, but in fact that is not his goal; perfection is a device. He wants to look at loopholes, mistakes, errors, anything that is missing, and this is the best way — to keep a goal of perfection so that he can compare them with the ideal and always condemn.

This toxic personality always thinks of that which is not and never looks at that which is, so discontent becomes natural. A toxic personality poisons his own being; not only that — he drips poison.

It can be a heritage. If you have lived with people in your childhood who had a negative attitude towards life.... It may be hiding in glowing terms, beautiful language, ideals, heaven, God, religion, the soul; they can use beautiful words, but they are simply trying...and they talk about the other world just to condemn this one. They are not concerned with the other world. They have no interests in saints, but just to prove that others are sinners, they will talk about saints.

It is a very morbid attitude. They will say, ‘Become like Jesus.’ They are not interested in Jesus at all. If Jesus were there they would be the last person to go to him, but just to condemn you, this is their device. You cannot become Jesus, so you become a victim. They always condemn you. They create values, moralities, puritan attitudes. They are the moralists, the moralisers; they are the great poisoners of the world.

And they are everywhere. These people tend to become teachers, educationalists, professors, vice-chancellors, saints, bishops, popes; they tend to become these things because then they can condemn. They are even ready to sacrifice everything if they are just allowed the joy of condemning others. They are everywhere, hiding in many ways. And they are always doing things for your good, for your own good, so you are defenceless against them. Their heritage is real, big. They have dominated the whole history.

These people immediately become dominators. Their very ideology helps them to dominate because they can become condemnators. And they talk in rational terms. Rationalism is also part of the T personality. They are very argumentative...very difficult to defeat them in argumentation. They are never reasonable, but they are always rational.

One must know the distinction between a reasonable man and a rational man. A reasonable man is never only rational, because a reasonable man knows by experience that life has both — the rational and the irrational; that life has both — reason and feeling, the mind and the heart.

A reasonable man is reasonable. A rational man is never reasonable. He forces logic on life — and logic can be perfect; life can never be. He always looks to the ideal, and he tries to force life to follow the ideal. He never looks into life and the reality of life. His ideals are against life.

The second personality, the N personality, the nourishing personality, is totally different. It has no ideals, really. It just looks into life and the reality decides its ideal. It is very reasonable. It is never perfectionistic; it is wholistic but never a perfectionist. And it always looks on the good side of things. The N personality is always hopeful, radiant, adventurous, trusting, not condemnatory. These are the people who become poets, painters, musicians.

If an N-type person becomes a saint, then there is a real saint. If a T-type person becomes a saint, there is a false saint, a pseudo-saint. If an N-type person becomes a father, then there is a real father. If an N type person becomes a mother, there is real mothering. A T-type is a pseudo father and a pseudo mother. That is just a trick to exploit the child, to torture, to dominate, possess and to crush the child, to feel powerful by crushing the child. The T-type is in the majority, so you may be right that you are carrying a heritage everybody is. But once you become aware, there is not much of a problem. You can travel from T to N very easily.

A few things to remember. If you feel lazy, don’t call it laziness. Listen to your nature; maybe that’s what fits you. That’s what I call a reasonable man. What can you do? If laziness comes to you, then that’s what you have to do. Who are you to decide against it? And how can you win against it? Even in your fight you will be lazy. Who is going to win? You will be constantly defeated, and then you will feel unnecessarily miserable.

Be realistic. Listen to your own being. Everybody has his own pace. A few people are very active, rushing; nothing is wrong in it. If they feel good in it, it is good for them.

And don’t create any ideals that you have to do this. Don’t have any ‘shoulds’. The ‘should’ creates a sort of neurosis. Then one is obsessed. The ‘should’ is always there, standing and condemning you, and you cannot enjoy anything. Enjoy! Kill the ‘should’ completely and be herenow. Whatsoever you can do, do; whatsoever you cannot do, accept. That is the way you are, and you are here to be yourself, nobody else. By and by you will see that your T is turning into N. You will become nourishing and you will enjoy more, you will love more, and you will become more meditative.

In fact, for a lazy person to become meditative is easier than for an active person. That’s why the whole East became lazy — they meditated too much. Meditation is a sort of passivity. An active person feels very restless. Just to sit silent is the most difficult thing. Not to do anything is the most difficult thing to do for an active person.

Just enjoy and move as fits your being — no shoulds, no ideals, otherwise they will poison you. Look at life with deep hope. It is really beautiful. Just look at it, and don’t wait for perfection. Don’t think in terms of your enjoying things only when they are perfect; then you will never enjoy.

If a T-type person encounters God, he will immediately find some faults in him. That’s why God is hiding...because of T-type people. He reveals himself to the N-type, never to T-types. He reveals only to those who can take nourishment from him — not only that, but to those who can nourish him.

So just relax, enjoy, accept, and the problems will disappear.

A True Story

Meet Jasmine, the rescue dog who has become a surrogate mother for the 50th time

(Extract from http://www.dailymail.co.uk)


Jasmine was brought to the Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary by the police in 2003, having been found dumped in a garden shed.

She was cold, filthy and malnourished. It took a few weeks for her to fully trust staff at the centre but with tender loving care she was nursed back to full fitness.

Five years on, Jasmine is now the one looking after stray waifs.

Geoff Grewcock, who runs the sanctuary, said: 'She simply dotes on the animals as if they were her on, it's incredible to see.

'She takes all the stress out of them and it helps them to not only feel close to her but
to settle into their new surroundings.

'As soon as an animal is brought in, she walks over takes a sniff or two and then licks and cuddles them.

'It is quite amazing, particularly as she is a greyhound breed and they are usually quite aggressive, That is why they are used for racing.

'Jasmine was abused when she was younger, the police brought her to us after discovering her whimpering in a garden shed.

'She was very nervous around us, she was caked in mud and dust and very thin. It took a while but gradually she got used to us and has been at the centre ever since.

'Having been neglected herself, it's a real surprise to she her show so much warmth and affection to other creatures.

'It's not just animals, she is great which children too, she is such a gentle, big-hearted dog.'

Bramble the fawn arrived at the centre two months ago after a dog walker came across her in a field dazed and confused.

Until she is old enough to be released back into the wild, she will continue to be cared for by Jasmine.

Geoff added: 'They are inseparable at the moment, Bramble walks between her legs and they keep kissing each other.
Happy family: Pictured from left to right are Tobe, a stray Lakeland dog; Bramble, an orphaned roe deer; Buster, a stray Jack Russell; a dumped rabbit and Sky, an injured barn owl

'They walk together round the sanctuary. It's absolutely marvellous. It's a real treat to see them.

'But she is like that with all of our animals, even the rabbits which greyhounds usually chase down the track.

'I remember we had two puppies that had been abandoned by a nearby railway line, one was a Lakeland Terrier cross and another was a Jack Russell Doberman cross.

'They were tiny when they arrived at the centre and Jasmine approached them and grabbed one by the scruff of the neck in her mouth and put him on the settee.

'Then he fetched the other one and sat down with them, cuddling them.

'She has done the same with the fox and badger cubs, she licks the rabbits and guinea pigs and even lets the birds perch on the bridge of her nose.

'It's very touching. Her maternal instincts take over all the time.'

"Eat, pray and love"

A very funny autobiography takes us to Italy, where Elizabeth Gilbert, a New York thirties, comes to escape the turmoil of a difficult divorce. She discovers the dolce vita and succulent Italian pasta. She then went to India to meditate and find inner peace in an ashram with ascetic rules (but with wacky and inspirational meetings). Last stop: Bali in Indonesia where she tries to find a new equilibrium.
 The movie will be released in France on the 22nd of september 2010. Will it be as funny as the book?

Book: "Face to face with fear"

"A loving journey from Co-Dependency to Freedom".

Face to face with fear offers a roadmap with specific tools and guidance for how to travel from co-dependency to love and meditation. Sharing openly from his own life, his experiences working as a psychiatrist and seminar leader and his many years as a disciple of an enlightened master, Krishnananda (Dr. Thomas Trobe) takes us on a journey of self discovery and self love. The approach and message of the book is simple. Through acceptance, understanding and spaciousness, we can uncover and heal the deepest wounds of our soul.

This book is for anyone who dares and longs to explore the deepest issues in his or her life. Do we ever ask ourselves what causes so much anxiety? Why do we complain when we don’t get the love we want and need? What happens inside us when we suffer a deep loss – a lover leaves or a parent dies?

Hiding behind our protections, denial and addictive lifestyles, we are carrying a profoundly panicked and wounded inner child. How many of us have met this deeply frightened child?

Until we makes friends with our inner child, our life can never be a joyful and loving experience. Because of our panicked child, most of us live in co-dependency. We are not able to create or sustain intimate relationships. But when we open to our wounded vulnerability and begin to heal it, we bring love and fulfillment to our lives.

Meanwhile the earth doesn't growth...

The population has increased as much as that, but the size of the earth remains the same with even less ressources. Are we mad?

Fear Of Change

Question: "I feel alone, which is good, but I am confused. I don’t know what is happening. Things are changing around inside me so sometimes I feel frightened, sometimes there is a floating feeling."

" It is natural. Whenever you feel frightened, just relax. Accept the fact that fear is there, but don’t do anything about it. Neglect it; don’t pay any attention to it. Watch the body. There should not be any tension in it. If tension doesn’t exist in the body, the fear disappears automatically. Fear makes a certain tense state in the body, to get rooted in it. If the body is relaxed, fear is bound to disappear. A relaxed person cannot be scared. You cannot frighten a relaxed person. Even if fear comes, it will come like a wave...it will not get roots.

Fear coming and going like waves and you remaining untouched by it, is beautiful. When it gets rooted in you and starts growing in you, then it becomes a growth, a cancerous growth. Then it cripples your inner organism.
So whenever you feel frightened, the one thing to look at is that the body should not be tense. Lie down on the floor and relax — relaxation is the antidote for fear — and it will come and go. You simply watch.

That watching should not be of interest — indifferent. One just accepts that it’s okay. The day is hot; what can you do? The body is perspiring...one has to pass through it. The evening is coming close, and a cool breeze will be blowing.... So just watch it and be relaxed.
Once you have the knack of it, and you will have it soon — that if you are relaxed, fear cannot get attached to you, that it comes and goes and leaves you unscarred — then you have the key. And it will come. It will come because the more we change, the more fear will be coming.

Every change creates fear, because every change is putting you into the unfamiliar, into a strange world. If nothing changes and everything remains static, you will never have any fear. That means, if everything is dead, you will not be afraid.
For example, you are sitting down and there is a rock Lying down. There is no problem: you will look at the rock, and everything is okay. Suddenly the rock starts walking; you become frightened. Aliveness! Movement creates fear; and if everything is unmoving, there is no fear.

That’s why people, afraid of getting into fearful situations, arrange a life of no change. Everything remains the same and a person follows a dead routine, completely oblivious that life is a flux. He remains in an island of his own making in which nothing changes. The same room, the same photographs, the same furniture, the same house, the same habits, the same slippers — everything the same. The same brand of cigarettes; even a different brand you won’t like. Between this, amidst this sameness, one feels at ease.

People live almost in their graves. What you call a convenient and comfortable life is nothing but a subtle grave. So when you start changing, when you start on the journey of inner space, when you become an astronaut of the inner space, and everything is changing so fast, every moment is trembling with fear. So more and more fear has to be faced.

Let it be there. By and by you will start enjoying the changes so much that you will be ready at any cost. Change will give you vitality...more aliveness, zest, energy. Then you will not be like a pond...closed from everywhere, not moving. You will become like a river flowing towards the unknown, and towards the ocean where the river becomes lost. "

Earthlings: the movie and an interview of the director



This documentary EARTHLINS  (95 minutes) is about the crualty towards animals. It is a very touching movie, though some images are hard to bear as the violence can be extreme from human beings (economical reasons, lack of sensitity)

Here is an interesting interview of the director Shaun Monson:

Who am I?


Does the person have a sort of reality?

It has no reality. What is real exists by itself, without the need of an agent to be known.
As the personality needs consciousness to be known, it is not real.

Moving against the current


Liveliness, vitality, respect of life, true love... this is meditation.
Everything else -- is the mind.
And honesty is not a yard-stick for truth.

Action arising out of meditation, i.e. out of being -- is right, and is respectful to the totality of life.
Action arising only out of the mind, out of a logic-driven mind -- is very dangerous; and if the person is sincere with its logic, it's even worse: this person is confined in one's own blindness, in the forgetting of oneself, in one's total ignorance of the living, of love.

This is how people in past got to operate death camps during the second world war (in my draft, I wrote 'second mental war'!), or even nowadays, people working in factories which manufacture products completely polluting the earth and the living -- including human beings -- themselves and their children even! And the same factories produce medicine to "cure" the cancers that they provoke!

Their driving force is the success of the factory, its money and power. Simultaneously, these factories are of high technical apptitudes -- so it's not so simple. I like to speak about 'mind' and 'meditation' because it allows the understanding of the origine of the action.

Meditators can also make their voice heard.

The "mentally hyper-active" and the sleeping -- the "I don't want to know" -- will leave behind them a drained Earth, deprived of humans.
That's the present challenge for the meditators.

Humor

A humanist, christian fundamentalist, priest and a 12 years old kid are the 4 passengers travelling together on the same airplane. While they cross the snowy Himalayas, strong winds blow, so the pilot doesnt manage to cope, and the engine starts burning of overload, and the plane is about to crash.


Unfortunately, there is only one parachute on the airplane.

Since the pilot is a man of conscience and discipline, he makes an anouncement of the situation to the 4 passengers, telling them that he will not use the parachute and that they can decide whom of them would use the parachute.


The humanist says: "let the kid take the parachute, he has got all his life ahead of him"

The fundamentalist says: "fuck the kid, i will take the parachute"

Then the priest says:"ok, good idea, but do you think we have enough time?"

Here n Now

" Your mind gives you a sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future, you go on living - at the minimum. You don't live at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim. Once you start dropping thoughts, the dust that you have collected in the past, the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young. Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke. That is what awareness is. "
