Metapsychiatry 2
I don’t necessarily believe in metapsychiatry but it’s what my Grandpa got his PHD in

“Lucifer son of the morning I’m going to chase you out of Earth”
Venus the morning star in Cannanite religion is Attar Venus the morning Star - he is kicked out of heaven and rules the underworld
In the Bible Satan/lucifer is kicked out of heaven and rules the demons. Lucifer is called the morning star Venus in the Bible
The Hindus Satan is Shukracharya who is Venus the morning star. He is kicked out of heaven and he rules the demons/ becomes the guru of the demons. Jupiter is the guru of the demigods in heaven
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shukra
I think the reason why Venus is “Satan” is because it is “bright” but not that bright like the moon or Jupiter, so it is deceiving. Brightness connotes wisdom/ insight. Venus is bright, but Venus is not very bright, so he can be a guru, but he is not that wise of a guru- thus he rules the demons. A guru who is not very wise will have not very wise disciples. Thus Venus rules demons. But he is wise enough that people will follow him. Thus Venus the morning star/lucifer/attar/ Shukracharya
I have never seen people make these connections before
Vishnu pokes out one of the eyes of Shukarcharya when Vishnu takes the Vamana dwarf form. Similarly lucifer/the antichrist is supposed to have one eye. Shukarcharya is punished because he is trying to “stop Vishnu from ruling the world”. Same reason Satan is punished.
Vishnu pokes out Satan/Shukarcharyas eye when Satan is trying to help the demon Bali to take over Earth. Normally the demons stayed in the demon world and the demigods in the heavens, but Bali wanted to stop the worship of the demigods like Indra on Earth, so he tried to take over Earth with the help of his Guru Shukarcharya. They already took over heaven and were going to take over Earth as well but Vishnu stopped them in his Vamana dwarf form
Whats interesting is that Shukarcharya, the guru of the demons, is married to Indras daughter, and Indra is the King of the demigods. Shukarcharya is Indra’s enemy but Shukarcharya is married to Indras daughter, because Indra’s daughter was sent by Indra to kill Shukarcharya, but she fell in love with Shukarcharya and married him

Lucifer star of the morning is Venus the morning star. Shukarcharya is the Hindu Venus, and he wanted to be the leader of the demigods, but he was kicked out of heaven and becomes the Guru of the Demons. Shukarcharya hates Vishnu and his main goal is to fight Vishnu and help the demons to take over heaven and fight the demigods (who are the demons brothers from another mother). The same story happens in Cannanite mythology with Venus the morning star
Ethana is the Babylonian Venus who wants to be the leader of the gods but is kicked out of heaven
There is a Cannanite story of the morning star Helel trying to become the tuler of heaven and he is kicked out of heaven and becomes the ruler of the underworld. Scholars say tbat Venus might have been seen as representing this because Venus fails to reaxh the highest point in the sky before it is faded out by the sun
Vishnu means “all pervasive”. Vishnu is therefore oneness/ the flow
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer
https://www.google.com/…/www.gotquest…/amp/morning-star.html
Jesus is the morning star beyond the stars. Satan is Venus the created morning star. The Venus morning star Satan is experience based calculative thinking, the light of Jesus is the flow
Satan/Shukacharya are created and sense oriented experience based. Jesus/ flow/ tetragrammaton/ Vishnu true light is eternal flow- not a material star but transcendent to that
Shukarcharya/Satan/Venus was the brightest star but he had pride and became the guru/leader of the demons
Jesus says he is in all things and through all things. Vishnu means all pervasive. So yes Jesus is the morning star but also all of the lights in existence and more
Vishnu is Shukacharya/ Venus but he also transcends Shukarcharya
Yes Vishnu is Shularcharya/Venus/satan like the ocean and the wave are not different. Shukarcharya/Venus is like a wave, but Vishnu is the ocean
Mormons say that Jesus and Satan are twins/Vishnu and Shukarcharya are twins. The Mormon notion could represent a transcending of duality. But Satan and Jesus are not equal. Vishnu is all pervasive/the flow/ oneness. Shukarcharya is ego oriented. Shukarcharya teaches predator orey violence and top dog underdog dualistic software. He teaches Virochana to take diwpali, the woman he liked, by force and fear and the power of his position as Prince. Vishnu is transcendent and not ego based. Shukarcharya makes things happen. Vishnu is the flow
Other stars are angelic beings/ demigods in the Bible. Satan/Shukarcharya/Venus is the brightest one though. Brihspati/Jupiter/God of speech/Guru of the demigods is an example of another bright star and Mangala/Mars/Kartikeya/ God of War and Shani/Saturn/God of Justice who’s parents are Surya the Sun God and Chaya/shadow God. These demigods fight the demons like the angels fight the demons in the Bible
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahu
Rahu is related to the snake/dragon/ego. He swallows the moon which represents inspiration/eternal life/flow/Shiva’s head. The ego obstructs inspiration. Rahu is the eclipse/darkness/ a demon. Rahu is one of the two demons who drank the nectar of immortality and have eternal life/ both are related to darkness/eclipsing of the moon
Rahu is a demon and thus associated with materialism and confusion and the occult. He blocks out the moon/inspiration/flow/Shiva’s head which has the moon on it
Rahu also tries to kill and torture Prahlad. Rahu is the ego/dragon. Prahlad means joy. Joy and Vishnu are related. With joy/aliveness you are more likely to get into the flow. Vishnu however saves Prahlad from Rahu. The flow/joy/ Vishnu/Prahlad overcomes the ego/ Rahu/ the blocker of the moon/ inspiration/Shiva/flow. Vishnu means all pervasive/ oneness. Oneness is the flow. Joy/Prahlad helps one to lose himself and attaon oneness/be swept up into the flow. Prahlad learned Vishnus name without ever being taught it/ because joy knows oneness. Rahu/the ego tries to poison Prahlad/ joy and Prahlad survives because Shiva/ the flow drinks the poison. Joy overcomes the ego

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renuka
Renuka was able to perform the miracle of collecting water with sand. But she had "sensual thoughts"- she got caught up in the ego body/ in thinking/ in her mind. She was no longer in the flow. As a result, she is no longer able to carry water with sand. Jamadagni, her husband, tells his sons to cut off Renuka's head, because of her "sexual thoughts", but they will not do it, so he burns them to ashes. He tells Parashurama/ the Avatar of Vishnu, his son, to cut off his Mom Renuka's head, and he does it.
Cutting off the head means taking the person out of his thoughts/ calculative ego based thinking, back to the flow. Parashurama/Vishnu/the flow cuts off his mom Renuka's head and she resurrects and becomes a Goddess who is highly worshipped. Her head/ ego thinking was cut off- and she got back into the flow/ Shiva/Vishnu. Her head was cut off after she finishes worshipping a Shiva Lingam in repentance for having thought the sensual, sexual thought. Shiva is the flow/ ego transcendence. Her bowing to Shiva shows that she/ Earth Goddess is submitted to Shiva/Vishnu/ the flow. The cutting off of the Mother Goddess's head seems "wrong" but it was metaphorical of taking the Mother Goddess out of her thoughts, back to the flow. If you are playing basketball in the flow, you are not thinking, but are in inspiration and intuition.
A Shiva Lingam is a Yoni and a Lingam- a Phalic symbol and a vagina, representing the union of opposites/ transcendence of duality to oneness- oneness is transcendence of the self.
Jamadagni is fire/ the flow. He tries to help Kartravirya Arjuna/ the King break out of his top dog underdog dualstiic ego software. Arjuna means bright- brightness is the intellect/ ego consciousness. Kartavirya means energetic. Being energetic/ Kartaivirya can bring you into the flow. Arjuna does defeat Ravana in a battle. Energy and intelligence/ Arjuna is greater than roaring/Ravana. Ravana means "roaring"- like death metal. Roaring/ screaming can get you in the flow/ lose yourself- but it is also very ego oriented. Intellect/Arjuna is at least closer to the flow than roaring, but with a high level of energy/ roaring, you can get in the flow, which is why Shiva/ the flow does give Ravana/ roaring boons. Kartavirya Arjuna also gets boons from Vishnu/Dattatreya however, though, because high energy/brightness/ intellect, can also get you in the flow. But Parusharma/Avatar of Vishnu ultimately kills Kartavirya Arjuna. The flow is greater than energy/ intellet/ brightness. Ravana also takes over Lanka from his brother Kubera. Kubera means wealth. Roaring a high level of energy can get you in the flow- wealth can be used for the flow/ inquiry but it also can be used for self indulgence/ self confirmatory behavior. Ram/Vishnu/the flow also kills Ravana. The flow/Vishnu/Shiva is greater than roaring/screaming. Ravana is a demon. But his Father was a sage. His Mother was a demon.
The cutting off of the head of Renuka the Goddess/Earth Goddess/ (her name means sand/Earth) by Vishnu/Shiva-Parashurama (avatar of Vishnu), and the act of the Goddess Renuka worshipping Shiva before she gets her head cut off, represents the elevation of the flow/Vishnu/ Shiva over the Goddess. Goddess tends more to represent self protection and self confirmatory behavior/ desire for riches/ comfort/ domesticity. These things are not bad, but are best seen as protective enclosures that can help one in inquiry/ to help catapult one to self transcendence. One needs a stable protective enclosure/Goddess, sometimes before he can transcend himself to the flow/Vishnu/Shiva- or else he just becomes schizophrenic, or is so poor (the Goddess represents wealth) that he is unhealthy and sick- and that is not conducive to self transcendence/ Vishnu/Shiva/the Flow. The Earth/ Earth Goddess/ matter is an illusion- but it is helpful for one to develop through and wihin the illusion before he can transcend it- or else he may not be prepared for self transcendence and can become schizophrenic. Similarly Jamadagni gets his head cut off- fire is like the flow/Shiva/Vishnu but it is not the flow- it is still experience based- which is why he also gets his head cut off later in the story. But he is also resurrected.
Kartavirya Arjuna is also the Grandson of Vishnu, one of Vishnu's previous incarnations. So when Parashurama/Vishnu kills him, he is killing his Grandson. It makes sense that energy/brightness/ intellect Kartavirya Arjuna would be a Grandson of Vishnu/the flow. But Vishnu kills him, showing that the flow is the greatest.
Muhammad Ali wasn’t arrogant. He was more playful and lighthearted. Ali was more having fun and creative but it wasn’t coming from an ego place. Ali would say “I am the greatest” like “Allah is the greatest” pointing to the oneness of him and tetragrammaton
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna…
Innana and Astarte and Aphrodite were all the planet Venus (the morning star/lucifer/Satan) and were all Goddesses of sex/ power/fertility/ego. Aphrodite has sex with the God of War, showing the connection between war and sex/ego
In Mesopotamian mythology Innana tries to take power and dominion from all of the gods, kind of like Satan/lucifer does. Innana tries to take over the underworld from her older sister and brings Tammuz to the underworld (shephard God representing the death of shephards). Similarly lucifer rules the underworld
Innana takes over a temple from Anu, the King of the Gods. Similarly in Hindu mythology Shukarcharya, the morning star Venus tries to take power from Indra, the king of the Gods and is sent to the underwold to rule the demons
Innana also kills Enkidu, Gilgamesh’s friend. Enkid is a wild man and Innana represents fertility/agriculture, represneting the death of the wild men by the agricultural revolution
Aphrodite also goes to the underworld and fights with the queen of the underworld
Persephone over Adonis. Adonis is the Greek version of Tammuz. His being brought to the underworld by Aphrodite is a metaphor of the agricultural revolution killing the shephards
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna…
Innana was Venus/the morning star/lucifer.
The Evening Star is also Venus, and was considered Atar/lucifer. Atar is the king of the underworld
Attar is connected to Astarte, who is the Goddess of sex/ Venus/morning star/lucifer
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attar_(god)
The Bible says Satan is like a “roaring lion” and Innana was depicted as a lion. But also Jesus is called a “lion” as well. But Jesus is not “looking for people to devour” and a “roaring lion”/ negative qualities
In the same way Jesus and lucifer are both called morning stars but Jesus is the “bright morning star” beyond the physical morning star
Indra sends Kamadeva/God of Sex to stop Narada's penance. Narada wants Vishnu to incarante on Earth Indra thinks that when people do Penance they are trying to "take his throne".
Kamadeva is the God of Sex. The Kama sutra is named after him. Vishnu is oneness/ Vishnu means all pervasive. Sex can be a form of self confirmatory behavior/ separateness conscousenss. Kamadeva tries to break Narada away from meditation on Vishnu/oneness. Agni/ Fire God also attempts to break Narada free of penance. Fire is like the flow, but it is not hte fflow/ it is still physical.
Even though Narada is a great sage, in the Shiva Mahapuran, Narada becomes confused and starts worshipping Brahma instead of Vishnu/Shiva. Narada is still a son of Brahma, and Brahma is depicted as arrogant because he is the creator. Therefore, Brahma is not often worshipped in Hinduism. Arrogance is separatin dualistic ego software.
Shiva kills Kamadeva/ God of Sex in the Shiva Mahapuran- demonstraitng the supremacy of the flow/ oneness. Shiva means "That which is not"- which is no thing/ oneness/ beyond physical/ the flow. In the Shiva Mahapuran after Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha (Dasha is a son of Brahma) Narada beomes confused and "thinks he's figured things out"/ created a formula- and he starts worshipping Brahma/ ego experience based dualistic software, and not the flow/Shiva/Vishnu, and Narada tries to get a wife/ separation dualsitic ego software- Formulas are not the flow. Narada is given a monkey's face.
Kamadeva/God of sex tried to break Narada's meditation on Vishnu/ all pervasiveness/ oneness/ the flow. Ironically, after Narada defeated Kamadeva's attempts to distract him, Narada became "arrogant", and thought that he himself was supreme. He started to brag to Shiva and Vishnu about how "awesome he was". Narada was in the flow when he conquered Kamadeva/God of sex/ ego dualsitic sense desire, but Narada started to think that he was special, which is not the flow but separtion dualsitic ego sfotware. Somebody can get in the flow and accomplish great things, but then fall out of the flow and attribute the greatness to himself. As a result, Narada is given a monkey face, representing that Vishnu/Shiva/ oneness/ flow is supreme.

There is a West African folk tale about a man who went to get nuts from a tree and the nuts fell in the water. He jumped in the water to killl himself and instead he ran into a magical being that gave him a magical pot.
Him letting go of the tree to die represents him letting go of making things happen to the flow. The man gets the magic pot and takes it home but hides it from his family. You cannot share the flow. People cannot copy the flow. But the son turns into a fly to see what his Dad is doing when his Dad uses the magical pot in his room behind locked door. The family takes the pot but they accidentally destroy the pot while cooking with it. You cannot copy the flow.
The man goes back to the tree and he tries to throw the nuts in the water but they and in his boat. He goes into the boat and throws them into the water and then jumps in the water like the first time.
The first time it was an "unanticipated accident"- the man was in the flow- he let go. This time the man tries to "make things happen". He tries to copy the flow. The magical being gives the man a stick, but the man loses the stick. He is no longer in the flow.
There's also an Amerindian folk tale of a trickster figure who has a blanket. He gets rid of his blanket to get a new blanket. When he goes back to his fire and food it is gone. This is the idea of "wanting more/ wanting something different" like having a wife and wanting a new wife- thinking that will make you happy- instead of the flow. As a result, he loses his fire.
This is like the sacrifice of Abraham- The sacrifice of the son of Harischandra. Harishandra was an ancestor of Lord Ram. Killing of the son represents killing of the ego to the flow. Abraham wanted to have many descendants/ be superior/ superior inferior ego software- but he first had to kill his desire to be superior/ superior inferior ego software, and enter the flow.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harishchandra
According to a legend mentioned in Aitareya Brahamana, Harishchandra had 100 wives, but no son. On advice of the sage Narada, he prayed to the deity Varuna for a son. Varuna granted the boon, in exchange for an assurance that Harishchandra would make a sacrifice to Varuna in the future. As a result of this boon, a son named Rohita (or Rohitaswa) was born to the king. After his birth, Varuna came to Harishchandra and demanded that the child be sacrificed to him. The king postponed the sacrifice multiple times citing various reasons, but finally agreed to it when Rohita became an adult. Rohita refused to be sacrificed and escaped to forest. An angry Varuna afflicted Harishchandra with a stomach illness. Rohita intermittently visited his father, but on advice of Indra, never agreed to the sacrifice. Later, Rohita managed to substitute himself with Sunahshepa in the human sacrifice. Sunahshepa prayed to the Rigvedic deities, and was saved from the sacrifice. Harishchandra's illness was also cured because of Sunahshepa's prayers; Sunahshepa was adopted by the sage Vishvamitra.[1]
A similar story is narrated in the Ramayana, but the king's name is Ambarisha instead of Harishchandra.[2][3]
Like in the sacrifice of Issac by Abraham, the son is saved in the last second

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahalya
Ahalya in HIndu scriptures desires to have sex with Indra, and Indra pretends to be her husband sage Gautama Maharishi, and she has sex with him even though she knows that he is really Indra in disguise. Ahalya was not in the flow. As a result she is cursed by Sage Gautama Maharishi and turned to stone. Ahalya having sex with Indra might represent her desire to have power/ the ego/ be superior/ superior inferior ego software/ self indulgence- as opposed to inquiry/ the flow/ self transcendence.
There is a similar story in the Bible of Lot's wife looking back on Sodom and Gomorrah and being turned to a pillar of salt. Despite what many people think, the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was not "homosexuality", but Rabbis describe that the sin was that people in Sodom and Gomorrah had predator prey/ top dog underdog dualstiic ego software. As a result they cheated people, and killed people and stole people, and "raped peope", and even men would rape other men, not because they liked men, but because they wanted to dominate the men/ predator prey dualsitic ego sfotware. Lot's wife looking back could represent her desire to go back to the ego ways- to the mentality of Sodom and Gomorrah- as a result she is turned into a pillar of salt. Also, in the flow you are in the timeless moment. When I played basketball when I was younger, I didn't think about what moves I was going to do, or what move I just did, but I was in the timeless moment, not even aware of what I was doing, but completely spontaneous, and as a result many people considered me one of the best players in the nation. The irony was I was not even aware of what I was doing- and I had no plans- but I was completely spontaneous- it was like it was not me doing it but the Higher Harmony/ tetragrammaton. Sadly my Dad got me the shootaway machine in the seventh grade and picking the ball off a rack would mess up anybody's game. I figured this out in college when I saw videos of me shooting the ball off of the rack.
Rama however, steps on the stone of Ahalya and she turns back into a woman. Ram is the flow. Ram is Vishnu/ all pervasiveness/ oneness. His stepping on Ahalya reprsents the humbling of Ahalya/ breaking her out of dualistic ego software to the flow, and as a result she turns back into a woman.
The flow is inquiry/ study/ self expansion, and is not self indulgence/ contentedness/ domesticity/ having sex with Indra- Indra represents power and those who worship Indra want to protect and promote the ego self, whereas those who worship Ram/Vishnu seek discovery and wisdom and expansion of consciousness and awareness to full spectrum awareness/ the flow. Ram is an expert bowman/archer/ the greatest in the world. He leaves his home to fight demons. He is constantly expanding his self. He learned a lot from sages and was in constant inquiry. Ram represents the flow, and Ram saves Ahalya.
Rambha is also turned into a rock when she tries to seduce Rishi Vishwamitra
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Sagara
King Sagara was a Sun worshipper and he did a horse ritual to take over the world. Worshipping the sun is not the flow/ worship of Vishnu. The sun is meatphroical of the flow/ since it always gives and is pure energy, but it is not the flow. Sagars 60 thousand sons go to retrieve the horse and blame Sage Kapila, a sage for stealing hte horse. Really Indra had stolen the horse. They throw rocks at Sage Kapila, who was really an avatar of Vishnu, and Sage Kapila burns them all to ashes with his eyes, except four. They had top dog underdog dualstiic ego softwrae and were destoryed. But after King Sagara's descendants do a lot of repentance and perform many austerities, and after Sagara's descendant Bhagiratha worships Shiva/Vishnu/the flow/transcendence of the ego self, instead of the Sun/power/physical wrold, the Goddess Ganges river descends to Earth and brings the son's back to life. The Ganges river is a part of Shiva's head. Shiva/Vishnu is the flow. The Ganges river is death and rebirth, the death of the old self to the flow/Vishnu/Shiva, which is why the Goddess Ganga is on Shiva/Vishnu/the Flow's head. Now the head stream of the Ganges river is called Bhagirathi, named after Sagara's descendant Bhagiratha who moved from Sun worship/ self promotion/protection to Shiva/Vishnu/the flow/ self transcendence.
In fact, the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is said to be a descendant of Sagara.
Similalry in the Bible, Elijah kills the Baal worshippers with fire. Baal was a fertility God/represented the ego. Tetragrammaton is the flow/self transcendence. So the Baal worshippers are killed by fire like the Sun Worshippers of the Hindus are killed by fire.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakya
Nisargadatta Maharaj would call worship of Indra/lighting God or the Surya/Sun God, or Chandra/ Moon God (who helps Indra to rape Ahalya by turning his light off and tricking the sage to leave earlier in the morning so Indra can rape her- although he was just following Indra's orders) is "self identification with the limited", which he calls "the cause of all suffering". Shiva and Vishnu are not the limited but the infinite/flow. Shiva means "that which is not". That which is not is apophatic/beyond any words/language/description. Vishnu means "all pervasive", meaning Vishnu is oneness/no thingness/ Being. Shiva and Vishnu are not limited. The Bible says that Jesus is "in all things and through all things". Jesus is not limited- but Jesus refers to himself as the "I am"/ Being/ no thing. I have heard Orthodox Jews say "God is infinite". But even saying infinite is reducing something to your notion of infinite. Shiva means "that which is not"- foregoing all attempts to even describe- a paradox preventing any description.
There's a West African Folk tale of a spider who steals the farm from the squirrel. The spider gets to the farm by a road. The squirrel gets to the farm by the trees. Getting to the farm by the trees means the higher path/ the flow. The spider is calculative. The spider and squirrel go to court and the court rules that "since the squirrel had no path to the farm, the farm is the spiders". There was no path because the squirrel used the trees. So the spider stole the farm but then the crow stole from the spider. The spider's caluclative thinking did not pay off for him and he lost his food.
There's another story where the wolf tries to sharpen his teeth to be like the spiders to get food- this is calculative thinking- copying mimicking hijacking anothers discoveries- not the flow.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abd_al-Muttalib
Muhammad’s Granddad attempted to sacrifice Muhammad’s Dad. This is similar to the Hindu story of Harischandra who attempted to sacrifice his son. It is also simlar to the story of Abraham attempting to sacrifice Issac. The sacrifice of the son represents the letting go of ones ego/ the son represents the way to be superior/ superior inferior ego software- so sacrificing the son is metaphorical of getting into the flow.

Muhammad’s Uncle helped rebuild the Kaaba. He was not going to rebuild it because he saw a snake. But then the eagle ate the snake, sonhe saw this as a good sign and built the Kaaba. I described in Hindu mytjology Vishnu rides Garuda, a bird that eats snakes. Snakes represent the ego/predator prey dualsistov software. Muhammads uncle was a “man of peace and justice”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wi…/Az-Zubayr_ibn_Abd_al-Muttalib
Az-Zubayr was among the many Quraysh who participated in the rebuilding of the Kaaba in 605. At first they were afraid to commence, for a large snake took up residence in the sanctuary. One day an eagle carried off the snake, leaving the builders free to work. Az-Zubayr, very impressed by this, composed a poem describing how "down came the eagle, deadly straight in its swoop; it bore it away

Muhammads Great Grandfather was a conjoined twin. He was separated from his tein with a sword. Kind of like Jacob and Esau or Cain and Abel, they were enemies. The descendants of one were the Abassid dynasty and the descendants of the other were the Umayyad dynasty who fought wars with each other
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashim_ibn_Abd_Manaf
Islamic hagiographers give an exotic narration concerning the birth of Hashim. Some consider it to be a very bloody and cruel one, indeed. This narration states that Hashim and 'Abd Shams were conjoined twins born with Hashim's leg attached to his twin brother's head. It says that they had struggled in their mother's womb seeking to be firstborn. Their birth was remembered for Hashim being born with one of his toes pressed into the younger twin brother's forehead.[1] Legend says that their father, 'Abd Manaf ibn Qusai, separated his conjoined sons with a sword and that some priests believed that the blood that had flown between them signified wars between their progeny (confrontations did occur between Banu al'Abbas and Banu Ummaya ibn 'Abd Shams in the year 750 AH).[2] The astrologers of Arabia predicted that Abd Manaf had committed a grave error when he separated both of them by means of a sword. That which he had done was not regarded by them as a good omen.[3][dead link]
Theres a West African folk tale where Anansi sees a dwarf doing a ritual that creates rain. The dwarf is doing the ritual without concern for results. If you do a ritual, but you want results, then it is not a ritual. A ritual is designed to break one out of his habits, circumstnaces, and relationships. The dwarf gets the rain.
Anansi tries to copy the dwarfs ritual, but he tries to copy it even better, but he does not get any rain. Anansi wants results. When you are looking for results you are not in the flow. When you are in the flow, you are open to inspiration and intuition, and do not have preconceived results. Anansi tried to copy the flow/ copy the dwarf. You cannot copy the flow.
Anansi kills the dwarf. A man tells Anansi that the dwarf was the kings favorite jester. Anansi has calculative ego based thinking/ the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Anansi tries to claim he did not kill the dwarf. The man then tells Anansi that "actually the King did not like the dwarf and he had a bounty on the dwarfs head". Anansi then admits to killing the dwarf and goes to the king to get his reward. Anansi has caluclative ego based dualsitic thinking. Anansi is then punished.
There is a part in the Bible where God says to "not collect the manna". This is the idea of not holding onto attachments, but being open to the flow. Not being attached does not mean to be poor- but you can have a lot of money but not be attached to it. Therefore you can be open to inspriaotn. If you are attached to anything you can't be in the flow. For instance if I'm playing basketball and I am attached to a plan, I can't be spontaneous.
At the same time though, I remember thinking this when I read that in the Bible, and a few chapters later God tells the people to "take the loot from the city they captured". In one passage he tells the people to "not take any loot". Then in another one God says to "take the loot". There is no formula. If somebody thinks he is superior by not taking loot, and has made this into a formula, then he is not in the flow/ inspiration, but has a strategy/formula. That is why later tetragrammaton says to take the loot. Contradictions in the Bible are not contradictions but desinged to break people free of formulations. It is possible to become attached to not being attached. That is a hippie. It is possible to think that "being inferior makes you superior".
In the show Game of Thrones, everybody in the show "stays within the wall". In the wall is superior inferior dualsitic ego software. It is kings fighting other kings trying to get power, power struggles dualsitic ego software. Everybody is afraid to "go outside of the wall". They fear what is beyond it. Beyond the wall is the flow. There is a dimension/domain outside of "the Game of Thrones" dualstic ego software- which is the flow.
In the story of Bluebeard, Bluebeard tells his wife to use the keys to open any droor in the house except one. I listened to a pick up artist say that the meatphro of Bluebeard was "you always have to maintain a littel bit of mystery with a woman". You cannot show the woman everything, all your secrets, but you have to maintain some mystery and stay elusive. The reason however you maintain mystery is because you want to maintain the illusion that there is something more to you, maintain the illusion to the woman, or vice versa, that she can be fulfilled in your "special relationship". But you cannot be fulfilled by a special relationship. Only the flow/ inquiry/ expansion brings fulfillment. So the woman opens the droor and finds all of Bluebeards murdered wives, and she and her brothers kill Bluebeard, and she leaves the house. She broke free of the special relatioinshio. A special relationship is self confirmatory- the other partner confirms the ego self- but there is no self. My Grandpa was a marriage cousnelor and he told me that many marriages fall apart because the marriage partners don't move beyond "special relationships" to the flow/ inquiry/ mutual particiaption in something larger than themselves. Sometimes the partner tries to find a new partner that they think will fulfill them/ a new special relationship. They say "Surely there is more to life than this". But they cannot be fulfilled that way, but only by the flow.
I’m not the first person to discover this about the Mahabarata and Arjuna being a representation of Indra and Karna being a representation of the Sun God, but I had a hunch it was true before I read about it on Wikipedia.
Jesus is the son of the tetragrammaton in the Bible. I already showed how the stories of Jesus directly parallel the stories of the tetragrammaton. I was the first person to discover this and show that the New Testament was an allegory of the expdus from Rome by Jesus/tetragrammaton. Similarly Arjuna is the son of Indra and Karna is the son of the Sun God, and the stories of Arjuna and Karna directly parallel the stories of Indra and Surya/the Sun God
Karna in the Mahabarata likes to give like the sun likes to give light. Karna is the son of the sun god
Karna is an enemy of Arjuna. Arjuna is the son of Indra, the storm God. Storm clouds/Indra block out the sun/Sun God. Arjuna/Indra kills Karna/Sun God
The Mahabarata war is a metaphor of nature
Karna’s adoptive parents are chariot drivers. The Sun God drives a Chariot
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karna
The Karna-Arjuna story has parallels in the Vedic literature and may have emerged from these more ancient themes. According to McGrath, the Vedic mythology is loaded with the legendary and symbolism-filled conflict between Surya (sun) and Indra (clouds, thunder, rain).[105] Indra cripples Surya in the Vedic mythology by detaching his wheel, while Arjuna kills Karna while he tries to fix the wheel that is stuck in the ground.[106][107] As another example of parallels, Surya too has a birth mother (Night) who abandons him in the Vedic texts and he too considers his adoptive mother (Dawn) who raises him to his bright self as the true mother just like Karna.[106] This idea was first discussed by the philologist Georges Dumézil, who remarked that similar mythology and details are found in other ancient Indo-European stories.[108][109]
I think I might be the first person to recognize that the Kurukshetra war is an allegory of nature. The story of the Gods and Demons is a story of the forces of nature battling each other
Drona in the Mahabarata is the avatar of Brahma. He trains both the Kauravas and the Pandavas during the Kurukshetra war
Drona is Brahma
Drona/Brahmas favorite pupil is Arjuna/Indra/storm God. Brahma’s favorite demigod is Indra/ the King of the demigods/forces of nature, and Brahma makes Indra the king of the Gods. Drona/Brahma makes Arjuna/Indra the leader of the Pandavas. Vishnu helps Indra/the demigods fight the Asuras. Krishna/Vishnu helps Arjuna/Indra in the Kurukestra war.
Brahma is the creator god. The creator is seen as arrogant- he is arrogant because he thinks he is special for making the creation. That is why for the most part Hindus do not worship Brahma, but worship Vishnu/Krishna or Shiva. Krishna is Arjuna/Indra’s charioteer. Indra/Arjuna is lower than Vishnu/Krishna. Krisha/Vishnu tells Indra/storm God, what to do.
The leader of the Kauravas, Dhritarastha, is blind. He is also good friends with Karna/the sun God. Being good friends with the Sun God can make you blind like staring at the sun too long can make you blind
In the Kurukshetra war Drona/Brahma is beheaded by Dhrishtadyumna. In the same manner Brahma is Hindu mythology is beheaded when he becomes overly sensuous and wants to rape a woman. Drona/Brahma being beheaded is another signal/symbol that Krishna/Vishnu/the flow is supreme
Ashwatthama fights on the side of the Kauravas. Ashwatthama is an Avatar of one of the eleven Rudras. Rudras are followers of Lord Shiva. Ashwatthama/Rudra/Shiva follower is fighting Arjuna/ demigods. I describes that the stories of Shiva often show Shiva beheading or killing demigods. Ashwatthama/Rudra/Shiva kills Arjuna/Indra and his brothers, who are the sons of other demigods, sons.
After Brahma/Drona is beheaded, Arjuna/Indra is upset, even though Arjuna/Indra was fighting Drona. Krishna/Vishnu however says that it was beneficial to behead Drona/Brahma. This again is showing the supremacy of Krishna/Vishnu/oneness/flow over the Brahma/Drona/creator/arrogance.
Bhisma, who fights with the Karuavas is an avatar of Prabhasa/sky/aether. In Hindu mytjology Prabhasa is a thief, who wanted to steal the Khamadenu, and Bhisma is also a thief who steals women. Surya/ Karna and Bhisma/Prabhasa are vasus. Bhisma is also the son of the Goddess Ganges river. The Ganges river and Shiva are one/ Shiva is on Ganges river’s head. So it makes sense that Bhisma would fight Arjuna/Indra/the demigods, because Shiva helps the demons to fight the demigods, so that only Shiva/Vishnu/the flow would be worshipped. One of Bhisma’s gurus was Shukracharya/Venus/morning star/lucifer. Shukracharya is not “good”- he teaches the demons to attain power and dualistic superior inferior software. For instance, he teaches Virochana to take women by force, like Bhisma does. But Shukracharya also does help the demons to fight the arrogance of the demigods like Arjuna/Indra, which is why Bhisma fights Arjuna/Indra
Arjuna/Indra is arrogant in the Mahabarata and Arjuna pokes fun at Karna/sun God for being the son of a charioteer. The Sun God/Karna however is not an innocent victim and is himself insecure and makes fun of Indra/arjuna and hia brothers, the sons of other demigods. The storm God/ Indra/ storm clouds, does fight the Sun God/Sun. The clouds block the sun. Arjuna/Indra/storm clouds, ultimately kill Karna/Sun God. The clouds block/kill the sun.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-three_gods
Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth, and Shukracharya/Venus/ morning star/lucifer/guru of the demons/ego power are siblings.
Ashwatthama was an avatar of one of the Rudras/followers of Shiva. Shiva means "that which is not"- Shiva and Vishnu are one- Shiva is the flow. Ashwatthama kills the sons of the five pandavas. The pandavas are Arjuna/Indra, and the sons of other demigods, representing hte demigods. Rudra avatar/ Shiva killing the sons of the demigods/ killing the demigods represents the breaking free of experience based thinking to the flow. The demigods represent the elements like Agni/God of fire, which are experience based thinking. Shiva is intutio/ inspriation.
One of the Rudras is "Ananda", which means "bliss". Shiva's followers/Rudras are depicted as gods who literally follow Shiva on Mt Kailash. But again, I think it is metaphorical. Shiva is the flow, and Ananda/the Rudra, is bliss, a byproduct of the flow. Being on top of Mt Kailash is a metaphor of "full spectrum awareness"- being on top of a mountain you see everything- which brings bliss/ self transcendence. Yogananda is a famous Indian guru who has a temple in the Palisades, called Lake Shrine. Yogananda means "Yoga bliss". Nithyananda is another famous Indian guru. Nithyananda means "eternal bliss". Shiva/ the flow is bliss/Yoga bliss/ eteranll bliss. Ashwatthama/Rudra/disciple of Shiva/Ananda killing the sons of demigods is a metaphor of breaking free of experience based thinking to bliss/the flow/Shiva/Vishnu/Krishna.
I don't know if it would be most accurate to call the Kuruketra war in the Mahabarata a literal war. I know a lot of Hindu people and a lot of people like the "Ancient Alien" people who love to believe that this war literally happened and was aliens or reptilians or whatever. I could be full of crap, but I don't think so. I think the war is a metaphor of the breaking free of experience based thinking to the flow/ intuition/pure awareness.
I'm the first person that I know of to have discovered this, but to me its pretty obvious.
The Pandavas fight the Karuavas in the Kurukestra war. The Pandavas are sons of Gods. Arjuna is Indra/God of Storms. Yudihisthira is Yama/God of death. Bhima is Vayu- God of wind. Nakula and Sahadeva are Ashwins/Gods of medicine (related to the sun God). Krishna/Vishnu runs Arjuna/Indra's chariot. Krishna/Vishnu is the ruler of the Gods-Greater than Indra. The killing of Arjuna, and Yudhishthira, and Bhima, and Arjuna, and Nakula, and Sahedeva's sons by Ashwatthama/Rudra/Shiva/Bliss represents Shiva/Vishnu/Krishna/the flow/inspiration/insight being greater than experience based thinking/the demigods.
In the Mahabarata Bhima/Vayu/Wind God/breath defeats Bakasura/Fool. Bakasura means demon fool/foolishness. This is a metaphor of using your breath/calming yourself to prevent you from "acting foolishly". Vayu/breath is important, but again-Vishnu/Krishna/Shiva/the flow is the most supreme. Proper breath/Vayu is an outcome of Vishnu/Krishna/Shiva/the flow.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-three_gods
In the movie "Get Out", when the man gets stuck in the "trance" and becomes "fractured" that is a metaphor of "reaching the Truth before you are ready". The guy is trying to "gain clarity", but the therapist does it too quickly for him and it puts him in a "schizophrenic state" where he is paralyzed. He then has to kill the people like the therapist who he before depended on to help him gain clarity and goes off on his own- he has to take the heroes journey without depending on any shortcuts.
There is a West African folk tale about Anansi, where a man uses a nut to throw into a hole. He goes into a hole and a woman tells him to take the "yams that do not call out to be pulled"- these yams are not trying to save themselves. Jesus says "he who is willing to lose his life will find it"- they have broken free of the ego self/ protective enclosure. The yams are pulled and the woman tells him to make drums and the drums perform miracles.
Anansi wants to be a hero like this man so he tries to "copy" what the man did. He throws a nut in the hole and meets the woman. The first man discovered the woman by accident. The flow happens by accident. You can't make it happen. Anansi tries to make it happen. Anansi does not listen to the woman. He does it the way he wants to do it. He is not disciplined. He tries to use the yams but he can't do it. He tried to copy the flow but you can't copy it- he failed.
Parakshit means carefully inspected, examined and tried. Ashwatthama tries to kill Parakshit while he is in his Mom's womb. Aswatthama is a rudra/Shiva worshipper. Shiva is the flow. If something is "carefully insprected, examined, and tried", it can work, but it can become a formula. A formula is not the flow. So Shiva's worshipper attemtps to kill him. But Vishnu/Krishna protects him in his Mother's womb.
Regardless Parakshit ends up being killed by a snake. "careflly inspected, examined, and tried" can become a formula/strategy- and formulas/ strategies can emerge from the ego, and not inspiration/ intuition/ self transcendence. That is why the snake/ego kills him.
Janamejaya tries to kill all of the nagas/serpants in response to his Dad Parakshit being killed by a serpant. Astika means "to believe in the soul". Takshaka, a king of the serpants runs to Indra for help. Indra/the storm God is about to be pulled into the sacrificial fire with the serpants. The Goddess of the serpants tells Astika, her son, to have Janamejaya stop the sacrifice.
Janamejaya is impressed by Astikas great knowledge of the scriptures, and grants Astika a boon, and Astika tells him to stop the sacrifice of snakes.
The snake represents the ego, but the ego is not bad. In the story of the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve bite from the fruit of knowledge- given to them by the snake. Knowlege is experience based, calculative, ego based thinking. This is not the flow/tree of life/ intuition/ inspiration.
But ego calculative thinking is inevitable. People are biting from the tree of knowledge all the time, every day. And the ego is a protective enclosure. To fight the ego/kill snakes, is the same thing as to embrace the ego, or to ignore the ego. It is the same thing to attack/hate something, as it is to embrace it, as it is to ignore it. In all of the cases you are still focused on it. The flow is not to attack the ego/ kill the snakes/ sacrifice the snakes. The flow is to transcend the ego. The ego is not good or bad.
My Grandpa told me "the ego is manficient in its accomplishments, but limited in its reach". The ego can accomplish magnificent things, but ultimately it is limited. When I was considred by many to be the best basketball player in the nation, it was not due to calculative/ experience based thinking- I was in the flow/ intuition/ inspiration, mostly doing things I had no idea I was doing.
Astika means "to believe in the soul". Astika knew that killing snakes/ the ego is not the answer- the ego/ snakes is an illusion- to kill something is to believe that it is real. The flow is all there is.
So now there is a day when Hindus worship the snake. This is to acknowledge that the ego is "magnificent in its accomplishments". To worship the snake means to not fear the snake. Fear is not the flow, but fear sucks you into the ego self/ dualistic ego consciousness. The bible does not say to "fear God" meaning, be scared. The correct word for fear is "awe of God". Moses puts a snake on a stick to cure the Israelites of their snakebites. The snake was a foreshadowing of Jesus. The snake in one sense represents Satan, but it also represents Jesus. Jesus said he is "in all things and through all things". Satan is also described as a lion, but Jesus is also described as a lion. Satan is also described as the morning star, but Jesus is also described as the morning star. But Satan is reprsented as "prowling" and in ways that are related to the ego. Jesus is "all pervasive"- Vishnu is all pervasive/ the flow.
Vishnu sleeps on top of a snake. This is a special snake who did penance and decided not to kill creatures anymore. This represents the transcendence of the ego. Shiva has a snake around his neck. This is a symbol of the transcendence of the ego as well. The snake had released poison in the Ocean of milk- the poison is ego strategies and formulas- but Shiva drinks the poison and wraps the snake around his neck to stop it from killing him. Shiva is the flow, and the flow is the transcendence of ego strategies/ formulas/ calculative thinking/ poison.
The son of Brahma, Kashyapa, has many wives. Two of his wives are the daughters of Prajapati, Kadru and Vinata. Kadru gives birth to Nagas/snakes, and Vinata gives birth to Garuda/ bird/ the vehicle of Vishnu. Garuda eats snakes. Vishnu/the flow is transcendence of the ego. But Vishnu's conveyance Garuda, eating snakes, is not a suggestion to people that they should "kill snakes". To hate something, anything, even snakes, is dualisitc ego software. If you have that software, then your software is no different from the software of the snakes. If you are in the flow, you would be wise enough not to put your hands in a snake hole and be bit, but you would also not want to go out of your way to kill snakes like Janamajeya did. That's probably why the Bible represents both Jesus and Satan as a snake, and why the Bible reprsents both Jesus and Satan as the planet Venus- so people don't become attached to wanting to hate any particular thing- or have fear towards any particular thing- because fear is not love- fear is not the flow. If there is a snake in your path, it might be wise to walk the other way. But "fearing the snake" is not going to help, or "hating the snake" is not going to help. What I've noticed is that the "fear of reptilians who rule the world", people who are all into that type of stuff, tend to be motivated by fear and predator prey ego software, good guy v bad guy, right v wrong ego software, and ironically and very paraodoxically, these people tend to be very poisonous and have the same predator prey fear based ego software as snakes that they claim to hate. I know a lot of these people personally, and this type of thinking tends to be motivated by a fear based motivation/ ego motivation, and it is no coincidence the same people spouting about their hatred and fear of reptilians the next second are having sex with hookers and getting in arguments and fights- trying to prove themselves right/ right v wrong dualsitic ego software. Somebody who "does not beleive in reptilians" however can also have dualsitic ego software. Believing in reptilian overlords is not a problem- its the software thats the problem, and anybody can have dualsitic ego software. And dualsitic ego software is not good or bad, there are just consequences that are messy involved with it.
There's nothing wrong with trying to discover "conspiracy theories". I know people who believe the "Nagas in the Hindu scriputres are real and they are evil reptilians". I also know these same people personally and they are the same people who get hookers to suck their penises, and get in fights with people, are highly disliked, and have predator prey ego software. Its like when Jesus said "look at the plank in your own eye before you point out the splinter in other peoples eyes". Its fine to try to come up with conspiracy theories, but its important to recognize the software that is being utilized, for instance- does the person have predator prey dualsitic ego software who is coming up with the conspiracy theories. It doesn't take any original thinking to come up with conspiracy theories.
I recently saw a post on FaceBook where a guy held a sign that said "we have more in common with Iranian poor people than with Amerian billionaires". This might be "discerning", but it could also be "good guy bad guy dualsitic ego software". This guy might be trying to say "poor people are the good guys and billionaires are the bad guys". That is not necessarily true. And regardless, that would be good guy bad guy, dualstici ego software. It appears that people are not good or bad, just people either operate under dualistic ego software or are more in the flow. Because somebody has a lot of money, doesn't mean that he is evil. To say so would be "good guy v bad guy dualsitic ego software", and thats the software that leads to problems in the first place. Being poor does not make somebody superior- that is superior inferior dualsitic ego software- but just with the idea that the inferior person is superior. The flow is transcendence of the ego self- where you focus on excelling and being a beneficial presence and reaching the highest level of your capacity. It is true that people can be poor because they are "lazy"- lazy is not the flow. Lazy is a form of self preoccupation/ self encapsulation- not self transcendence- the flow.
Rahu and Ketu are a dragon/snake that create lunar eclipses. The moon represents insight/inspriation/Shiva/the flow. Shiva's head has the moon/chanddra/moon God on it. The moon in the vedas is said to be where soma resides. Soma is the food of the gods that gives them eternal life. Eternal life is the flow/ timelessness. Inspriation/ the flow are connected. The dragon/snake is the ego that blocks inspiration/ intuition/the flow.
Rahu, the dragons head/eclipse, tries to kill Prahlad in Hindu stories. Prahlad means joy. Prahlad worships Vishnu/all pervasiveness/ the flow. Joy can help one to lose his self/ get in the flow. Rahu/ the ego tries to kill Prahlad/joy, but Vishnu chases Rahu away with his Sudarshana chakra.
The problem is, that joy can be fake- and people can express joy for ego motivations. There is no formula for the flow.
In the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the four children leave their comfortable home of domesticity to exploration/ research and discovery/ the flow. At the end they chase a wish granting stag that grants wishes and they enter back into the real world. The wish granting stage represents results focused consciousness/ not the flow- so they leave Narnia and enter back to the real world/ experience based ego consciousness.
The reason why you forgive is you recognize it is "not the person who is at fault, but his software". That is why you always forgive the person. And you recognize the person can upgrade his software. A person faces the consequences of his software, and it is his responsiblity whether he upgrades it or not. You cannot be mad at the person, for the True Self is pure/ the True self is the flow. But you can recognize a persons immaturity/software/ignorance (ignoring the higher wisdom/intuition) and react accordingly. Everybody runs the risk of reverting to previous levels of software.
I'm the first person to discover all of this stuff that I know of.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatars_in_the_Mahabharata
Rukmi is avatar of Aruna charioteer of Sun God. He is boastful. The sun is associated with pride and arrogance/appearances/experience based reality and not the flow/intuition. The sun represents the flow, it is pure energy, but it is still experience based and not intuition insight/the flow. He cheats Balarama/avatar of shesha in the dice game. Shesha is one with Vishnu/ the flow. So Shesha kills him. This represents the killing of appearances/calculative ego based thinking (brings anout cheating) to the flow/intuition. The sun light is better than darkness. It is helpful to have light for one to grow and navigate in the world. But Vishnu is transcendence of experience based thinking to intuition/the flow. Shesha killing the charioteer of the Sun God is metaphorical of Vishnu worship being greater than Sun God worship. Vishnu is all pervasive/ oneness. The sun represents the flow, but the sun is not truly all pervasive- but is limited. All pervasiveness/ oneness/Vishnu is the flow. The sun is "like the flow"- its light is expansive and it is pure energy- but the sun is not truly unlimited- it is just  representation of the flow and not the flow itself.
I mentioned in the Mahabarata that Arjuna/Indra/storm God/son of Indra kills Karna/Sun God/Son of Son God. The storm clouds block the sun. The storm shows the world that the sun is not "all powerful" and "all pervasive"/oneenss/the flow- like Vishnu/Krishn/the flow is. That is why Indra/Storm God is the king of the demigods- he curbs the power of the Sun and even the moon when blocks them out in the sky. But Indra/Arjunas son is killed by Ashwatthama/Avatar of Shiva/the flow. Indra is the king of the demigods/higher than the sun God and the Moon God and the fire God and the other limited Gods, but Indra is still not the flow/Vishnu/Shiva. In the Mahabarata Vishnu/Krishna is Arjuna/Indras charioteer. Arjuna/Indra takes orders from Krishna/Vishnu. And not only that- Krishna/Vishnu is everywhere in the Mahabarata, behind the scenes of everything. Arjuna/Indra might be the king of the Gods, but he is still depicted as arrogant and self centered/not the flow. The storm is powerful, but it is still limited- it is not oneness/the flow/Vishnu. The storm clouds/Indra Arjuna, might curb the arrogance of the Sun/Karna, but the storm clouds are not supreme and themselves are arrogant/Arjuna/Indra expresses a lot of arrogance. When Indra rapes Ahalya that is a metaphor of the waters of the storm inseminating the Earth- Ahalya literally means "unploughed" and is an Earth Goddess. The sage castrates Indra for raping Ahalya and he turns Ahalya to stone. Rain/Indra is powerful, but if rain touches unploughed land- crops will not grow from it- and so the Sage turns Ahalya to stone. Again, this myth expresses that Indra/self promotion/ pride- is not supreme- but Vishnu/the flow is supreme. Indra is still experience based ego consciousness, but Vishnu/Krishna is the flow/ intuition/ inspiration
Dhrishtadyumna is an avatar of Agni/fire God. He kills Drona. Drona is Brahma. Brahma represents arrogance. But Ashwatthama kills him. Ashwatthama is an avatar of a rudra/disciple of Shiva or Shiva himself. Agni is like the flow- Agni/fire is pure radiant energy. But fire/Agni is not the flow/Shiva/Vishnu. So Ashwatthama beheads Agni. Agni is still representative of physicalreality/appearances like the sun, and not yet .intution/inspiration/Shiva/Vishnu/the flow
Agni is also limited- fire takes a limited form. Shiva/Vishnu is transcendent and all pervasive. Shiva and Vishnu are described as one. Shiva killing Agni is metaphorical of Vishnu/Shiva worship being greater than Agni worship.
Pradyumna is Krishna/Vishnu's son, and he is the an avatar of Kama/the God of Pleasure. Shiva had killed Kama before, for trying to make Shiva have sex with Paravati. Killing Kama is a metaphor that Shiva/the flow is greater than sex. So sex is not to be worshipped. But Pradyumna/God of longing is born to Krishna/Vishnu. Kama does not necessarily mean "sex", but it means more "true pleasure/wholeness". Krishna/Vishnu is the flow. Sex is ok if it emerges from the flow- and there is not ego involvement. It is ok to  Sex is not something to be "hated" or "antagonized". When you are against something, you are still focused on it. Instead, it is to be understood that sex is a force of reality, and you neither ignore it, nor hate it, nor attach yourself to it, but you let it be. The God of True Pleasure/Kama/wholeness is reborn after being killed by Shiva, as the son of Krishna/Vishnu/ all pervasive/the flow, representing that pleasure is beneficial if it emerges from the flow/Vishnu/Krishna. This is not "sense pleasure", but it is a True Pleasure of the flow- of oneness- true bliss. The true pleasure is not self confirmatory but self transcending. The article below explains how "Kama" is not "sex" or "sense pleasure". Shiva kills Kama when Kama was related to just sex, but Kama is beneficial when it emerges from Krishna/Vishnu/the flow.
"Karl Potter describes[15] kama as an attitude and capacity. A little girl who hugs her teddy bear with a smile is experiencing kama, as are two lovers in embrace. During these experiences, the person connects and identifies the beloved as part of oneself and feels more complete, fulfilled, and whole by experiencing that connection and nearness. This, in the Indian perspective, is kāma.[15]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kama
Sita wants Rama to give her the pelt of a golden deer, and that is when Sita is kidnapped. Sita is an avatar of Laxmi/Goddess of Wealth, and Rama is an avatar of Vishnu/all pervasiveness/ oneness/ the flow. Desiring the pelt of the golden deer is results oriented goal oriented consciousness, not the flow/ intuition/ inspiration. Rama knows that the "golden deer is an illusion" and a "demon playing tricks". But Sita/Laxmi/Goddess of Wealth does not listen and insists that Rama give her the golden pelt.
This is why Hindus that worship the Goddess tend to be looked down upon- because the Goddess is associated with wealth/ material reality- which is "an illusion". There is no material reality- the sages say that everything is non material energy- or consciousness- whatever it is- its not material/physical. It's apophatic/indescribable.
Ravana takes Sita. Ravana means screaming. Ravana represents "making things happen". Ravana is not the flow. But when you make things happen you can "get wealthy"/ attain Sita/Laxmi/Goddess of wealth.
But Rama/Vishnu retrieves Sita/Laxmi. Worshipping Rama/Vishnu is more looked highly upon by Hindus. Rama/Vishnu is the flow/ inquiry/ self expansion. Sita/wealth is great and important. But it is more important that the wealth emerges from the flow/Rama/Vishnu. That is why Rama throws Sita in the fire- immolates her in the ritual of Sati, after he takes her back from Ravana. Rama is not focused on wealth/Goddess of wealth/Laxmi- but Rama is expansion of consciousness/ the flow. Rama is not attached to anything but is in pure awareness/ inspiraiton/ intuition. Sita is not killed by the fire however, and she returns to Rama. Wealth can come from the flow. Ravana tries to make things happen- he has top dog underdog superior inferior ego software. You can gain wealth through that software, but ultimately that software will get you in trouble and you can lose the wealth easily. Rama stole the wealth, and his characteristics will get him in fights and conflict that will cause him to lose the wealth. Laxmi/Sita/Goddess of Wealth however serves Rama/Vishnu/ the flow. Somebody in the flow can benefit from wealth, and he benefits others.
Hanuman/Shiva kills Ravana. Shiva/the flow is one with Vishnu. Ravana is the ego/screaming. The ego is killed/liberated by the flow.
The story of Mario brothers is the story of the Ramayana. Ram is Mario. Luigi is Ram's brother Laxman (an avatar of Vishnu as well- but of Shesha, the snake that Vishnu rests upon). The Princess is Sita. The Dragon that steals Sita/ the Princess is Ravana. Yoshi is Hanuman.
What is fascinating is that Sita is actually the son of Ravana. Sita/Laxmi/Goddess of wealth in the Ramayana is the son of a demon. Ravana got rid of Sita at her birth and put her in a field, where she was discoered by King Janaka and raised as Sita. The fact that Sita is the daughter of a demon again is the Ramayana trying to show that the worship of Sita/Laxmi/wealth is not very important, but instead Rama/the flow/ oneness/ inquiry/ expansion of awareness is more beneficial. Wealth/Sita is beneficial- Sita is one with Rama. Rama says that he is incomplete without Sita. But the flow is most imporant and if wealth emerges from the flow, then it is beneficial.
In order to steal Sita/ Goddess of wealth, Ravana has to pretend to be a hermit, in order to make her want to step over the line/force field of protection that Laxman/Vishnu set up around her. Wealth respects sages/ those who are expanding their consciousness/ awareness. However, somebody can put on the act of expansion of consciousness/ awareness in order to get wealth, and thus it will not suit him- because it is ego oriented. Ravana does this and he gains wealth/Sita, but loses it, because he was not in the flow.
The reason why Ram/Vishnu and Hanuman/Shiva are one is, Vishnu means all pervasive. Shiva means "that which is not". Yes Vishnu is all pervasive but also that which is all pervasive is no thing- it is apophatic
There is a Japanese myth about a hero named Hidesato.
Hidesato comes across a dragon. Recall that in the garden of Eden satan is a dragon/snake. In fact, satan was originally a dragon, but his legs were taken off of him as a curse. The snake is stuck on the Earth with no legs. This is metaphorical of being very tied to the illusion of physical matter- there is no physical matter- there is no self. There is no thing. But the snake symbolizes a creature that is very tied to the illusion of physical matter- a creature that kills and strikes and bites.
Hidesato comes across a dragon, but he does not fear the dragon. Hidesato is not driven by fear. He is in the flow. He is in a state of oneenss. The dragon is laying on a bridge. Hidesato wants to get to the other side. Because he does not have fear, he walks on the dragons back to the other side. The dragon tells Hidesato "you are a special man, you do not have fear. I have layed on this bridge for a long time and every other man has seen me and ran in fear. Therefore I chose you to help me".
Hidesato has "transcended the ego body". He is in the flow. He is not in dualsitic ego software. He is not trying to prove himself- he is beyond the ego self. The dragon represents the ego. It does not help to "fight the ego"- that itself is the ego. To fight the ego is the ego. To ignore the ego is also the ego. To "embrace the ego" is also the ego. Paul says "salvation comes through grace"- there is nothing you can do to transcend the ego- otherwise that is your ego.
The dragon tells Hidesato that there is a centipede who has been killing the dragons children. He asks Hideasto to kill the centipede for him. Hidesato takes his bow and arrows and goes to the centipede. The centipede has legs of fire and eyes of fire. Fire to me represents "appearences/illusion/ego based thinking". Hidesato cannot kill the dragon with his arrows. So finally Hidesato remembers that human saliva is poisinous to scorpions. So he puts his arrow in his mouth, and then shoots the centipede and it kills the centipede.
Jesus uses his saliva and puts it in a blind persons eye and the man can then see. I also heard there is an African tribe that spits in their hands or something and they raise their hands to the sun. The centipede is full of fire like the sun. The man who cannot see could only see with saliva. Perhaps the saliva dissolved the fire/ appearances/ experience ego calculaitve thinking- to intution/ the flow. It is descirbed when the saliva arrow hits the centipede that the "fire in the centipedes legs went out and the fire in the centipedes eyes went out." The fire might represent appearecns/experience based ego based thinking. Killing the centipede represents transcending the experience based ego based thinking to the flow/intuition/inspiraiton. When Jesus put saliva in the mans eye, maybe this humbled the man, and maybe it also represented breaking the man free of "experience based ego dualstiic thinking"- the saliva takes out the fire of appearances. After Jesus puts his saliva in the mans eyes the man can see - but he does not "see normally"- but he sees with intuition/inspiration.
Hideasto then goes back to the dragon and the dragon makes the man the dragon king, and gives the man many dragon servants. The dragon reprsents the ego, and Hidesato has transcended the ego. He did not fight the ego- he was not against the ego- he transcended the ego.
Nobody has discovered this stuff before that I am aware of.
In the Ramayana, the Monkey King Vali is the son of Indra/the God of Storms and his brother, the monkey Sugriva is the son of Surya/ the God of the Sun. The monkey Hanuman is the avatar of Shiva/the flow/ that which is not. Shiva is one with Vishnu. Ram is the avatar of Vishnu/the flow/oneness/all pervasiveness. Shiva and Vishnu are one because Vishnu is all pervasive but he is also "that which is not"- there is no thing. Jambavana is the Dad of Vali/Indra storm God, and Sugriva/Surya sun God. Jambavana, a bear, is the son of Brahma. Jambavana is Brahma. Brahma is the creator God. Brahma is the Father of Indra and Surya- Brahma is the creator God and Indra/storm God, and Surya/Sun God are part of his creation. Yes, you might ask "how can Vali/Indra, and Sugriva/Sun God be the sons of Indra and the sun God but also be the son of Jambavana. That is because Jambavana was changed into a woman, and Indra and the Sun God impregnated Jambavana when he was in the form of a woman. But later he turned back into a man. But the fact that Indra and the Sun God are impregnating a bear shows how the Hindu scriputres are trying to present Shiva/Vishnu/the flow as supreme over them. Jambavana/Brahma/creator God is the Father of Sugriva/Sun God/Surya and Vali/Storm God/Indra
I described before that Arjuna/Indra/son of storms, has a lot of conflict with Karna/Surya/the son of the Sun God. That is because storm clouds block out the sun. Arjuna/ Indra/ storm God, and Karna/Surya/Sun God have conflict thorugh the Mahabarata and in the Kurukestra war Arjuna/Indra kills Karna/Sun God. Clouds block out the sun.
The conflict between the sun and clouds continues in the Ramayana with the conflict between Vali/Indra/Storm God, and Sugriva/Sun God. Vali/Indra is the king of the monkeys. HE is married to Tara. Tara means stars. Indra is in the sky and is related to the stars. Tara is the daughter of Brihspati/Jupiter. Jupiter is the Guru of the Gods. Tara/Brihspati acts kind of like a guru in the stories, helping relations between people. For instance, she tried to warn Vali/Indra not to fight Sugriva/Sun God, because she said Rama/Vishnu and Shiva/Hanuman would kill him. Brihspati/Jupiter, is Indra/Storm God and Surya/Sun Gods gurus in the Hindu mythology.
Vali/Storm God is superior to Sugriva/Sun God. The clouds block out the sun. Indra is the king of the Gods over the Sun God. Vali is very strong and Ravana attacks the monkeys in Kishkinda. Sugriva/Sun God is defeated by Ravana. But Vali/Storm God defeats Ravana and is so powerful he carries Ravana under his arm as a trophy for years.
Vali/Indra is the king. Indra is the King of the Gods. Sugriva/the Sun God is his brother. The Sun God is the brother of Indra. Sugriva/Sun God, and Indra/Storm God, are children of Jambavana/Brahma. Brahma is the creator God and the Dad of the Sun God and the Storm God Indra. Vali/Indra is pretty much invincible. Hhe has the strength of 70 thousand elephants. Vali/Storm God goes into a cave and fights a demon in the cave. Sugriva/Sun God waits outside the cave and hears a scream and sees blood leave the cave. Sugriva/Sun God assumes that Vali/Storm God has been killed, so Sugriva Sun God roles a rock over the cave entrance and takes over as ruler. Vali Storm God.
Vali Storm God, however, was not killed, and he assumes that Sugriva, Sun God just took his throne through treachury. Sometimes the sun stays out for a long time and there is no clouds. So Vali storm God takes Sugriva Sun God's throne back and takes Sugriva's wife as well, and he exiles Sugriva/Sun God. The clouds have blocked out the sun.
Rama, however comes and Rama and Hanuman help Sugriva/Sun God to kill Vali/Storm God/Indra.
This is a story about nature, about the conflict between the storm and the clouds. In the end the light/the sun prevails. The Sun represents the flow, but still Rama/Vishnu, and Haunuman/Shiva/the flow are supreme over the sun God and the storm God. The sun God and storm God are limited, but Vishnu and Shiva are not. It is only with the help of Hanuman/Shiva, and Rama/Vishnu, that Sugriva/Sun God, can kill Vali/Storm God.
People who worship the sun and the storm worship more for self protection and self promotion, but worship of Shiva and Vishnu represents transcendence of the ego self to intuition/inspiraiton. Although, people worship the Sun God in the Ramayana, but even the Sun God says that worship of him is a "stepping stone" to worship of Vishnu/Shiva.
To show how much greater Rama/Vishnu is than Vali/Storm God, Sugriva/Sun God tries to show Rama/Vishnu, how pwoerful Vali/Storm God is by showing him a saal tree with an arrow in it that Vali/Storm God had shot. Rama/Vishnu shoots an arrow and it makes a hole through seven trees.
However, this is not to say that Vali/ the storm God/Indra is "bad". To hate anybody is dualsitic ego software. As Vali/Indra is dieing, Ram helps him to recognize that he was wrong in mistreating Sugriv/Sun God. Vali/Indra tells his son to fight for Ram/Vishnu. Vali/Indra's son Angada becomes the leader of Ram's army. So in a sense Indra/storm God remains supreme/the leader of the Gods. Sugriva/Sun God does not help as much as Angada/Indra Storm God, and Sugriva/Sun God even drinks and carouses for a while, instead of helping Rama/Vishnu to fight. Tara/Brihspati/Jupiter, and Sugriva/Sun God become enmeshed in "sense pleasure".
However, it can be argued that if somebody believes "I have figured it out, all I need to do is worship Vishnu and not Indra then I will be saved- thats it"- then that is still the ego. Salvation is the flow. The flow is transcendence of the ego to the "etneral moment/eternal life"/ intuition/ inspiration- the transcendence of the self. Tara/Brihspati/Jupiter/Guru of the Gods curses Rama/Vishnu for killing Vali/Indra/Storm God, and in Vali/Indra's next life he is the hunter that accidentally kills Krishna/Vishnu with an arrow. Vishnu is all pervasive/the supreme, but if you memorize that- that that is still limiting Vishnu to your "concept of Vishnu" rather than true pure awareness/ the flow. This is why Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha- Daksha's daughters are spiritual qualities like "expiation/atonement" and "forgiveness", and "devotion". But if you do these qualities without Shiva/the flow/ pure awareness, then you are still in the ego and not saved. You can devote yourself to Vishnu, but if you are still in the ego, for instance, you are just worshipping Vishnu because you want eternal life- then you are not saved. There is no formula for salvation- there is nothing you can do to save yourself. As Paul said "salvation comes through grace". Even Krishna/Vishnu is killed, representing the importance of killing your concept/ vision of Vishnu/your strategy/formula for salvation- because you can't save yourself. Just because somebody "worships Vishnu" or "worships Shiva" does not mean they are saved. Even Muslims admit that "somebody can worship Allah his whole life and go to mosque every day and not be saved, but somebdoy can worship Allah for five minutes of his life, and never go to mosque ever, and still be saved". There is nothing that a person can do to save hisself. Salvation comes from grace.
In fact somebody can worship Indra/the storm God, or Surya/the Sun God, or Brahma, the creator God and be saved, and somebody can worship Allah or Vishnu/Shiva and not be saved. Even Muslim scholars and teachers admit this. Allah/Vishnu/Shiva/Tetragrammaton save who He wills, and you don't save yourself. The paradox is there is no self to be saved.
Rama/Vishnu prays to the Ocean God to let him pass through the ocean to Lanka. The ocean does not respond. Lakshman/Shesha Vishnu says to shoot the ocean with an arrow that will dry it up. The Ocean God appears. Rama/Vishnu is angry that the Ocean God did not respond to his prayers. The Ocean God apologizes saying that he is full of salt and poison, and that is why he did not respond. Again, this is shwoing how Vishnu/Ram/ all pervasiveness/ oneness/ the flow is supreme. The ocean might be a metaphor of oneness- and the transcendent. It is vast and grand and powerful- deep and unknowable (Varuna was related to Shiva/Rudra). But the ocean is still limited. The Yajurveda says "Vishnu is Varuna/Ocean God". Vishnu is everything- and expands to be everything- all pervasive oneness.
Varuna/Ocean was related to healing/physicians and knowledge. But again Vishnu/the flow comes first- healing and knowledge are beneficial as byprodcuts of the flow.
The Vedas describe that Surya is Sun God but Surya is also the "eye". That is why when Jesus rubs spit on the man's eye he is no longer blind. He wiped out Surya/Sun God/knowledge/experience based thinking- to give the man sight/ intuition/inspiration/insight.
That's why I think when Hidesato in the Japanese mythology shot the flaming centipede with his spit (the centipede is equated with fire- with eyes of fire and legs of fire) this was metaphorical of Hidesato breaking free of experience based/ knowledge oriented vision/tree of knowledge- and instead opening to the tree of life/ intuition/inspiration/ the flow. The flaming centipede is the sun/ the eye, and the saliva clears it of its flames of illusion.
The Mahabrata calls Surya/Sun God, the "eye of the Universe".
“It is in the Brahmanas layer of the Vedas,[26][27] and the Upanishads that Surya is explicitly linked to the power of sight, to visual perception and knowledge. He is then interiorized to be the eye as ancient Hindu sages suggested abandonment of external rituals to gods in favor of internal reflections and meditation of gods within, in one's journey to realize the Atman (soul, self) within, in texts such as the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Chandogya Upanishad, Kaushitaki Upanishad and others.[28][29][30]”
The saliva cools the flames- puts away the flames/ the experience based ego thinking. This might be why when Jesus put his saliva in the man's eyes, the man was no longer blind.
Surya/knowledge can bring you to the flow/ insight/ inspriaiotn, but knowledge can also be used for the ego and duasltiic software.
When Sugriva/Sun God took Vali/ Storm God's wife Tara/Jupiter/Brihspati/Guru of the Gods, this was ok because Tara/Brihspati/Guru of the Gods is a Guru. This marriage represents the desire to expand consciousness/awareness through the Guru. However, when Vali took Sugriva's wife, this might have more represented the desire for sense pleasure/ego gratification. Which might be why Rama/Vishnu killed Vali. I never heard anybody say this but this might be what it represented.
Yogmaya/Subhadra is married to arjuna/indra/storm God and Abimanyu/moon God- demigods related to maya/illusion. But she is the sister of Krishna/vishnu. Maya/matter/illusion is a protective enclosure or encapsulation or preparation for the Truth/Krishna/the flow. Thus her relationship with Krishna. The moon God/Abimanyu represents inspiration, but the flow/Krishna/Vishnu precedes inspiration. This is why Abimanyu/Moon God is killed. The moon is a metaphor of inspiration/light/onenes and is on Shiva/the flows head. Shiva and Vishnu are one/the flow. Ashwatthama/Shiva/the flow is one of the warriors who kills Abhimanyu/moon God, ahowing that inspiration/mokn God comes from Shiva/the flow/oneness/no thingness. But it takes seven great warriors including Karna/the sun God to kill Abhimanyu/mokn God/inspiration. Inspiration is bery powerful but the flow/Vishnu/Shiva is the root of inspiration

quadrant
Krishna/Vishnu is the quadrant model
https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Draupadi
I'm the first person that I know of to have discovered this stuff.
In the Mahabarata Arjuna represents Indra/ the Storm God. Bhima reprsents Vayu/ the wind God. Draupadi is "the daughter of Agni/Fire God" so she represents fire. Draupadi is called a "whore" by Karna/Sun God, because she is married to the five pandava brothers, including Bhima and Arjuna.
Draupadi/Agni, claims to not like Karna/Sun God. Agni was related to night time- when fires were lit. Sun God was related to the day when there was no need for agni/fire. That is why Draupadi/Agni does not marry the Sun God/fire.
Many ancient cultures worshipped fire/Agni. Draupadi/Agni has five sons with the five Pandava brothers. Each of the Pandava brothers represents a demigod, like Arjuna/Indra/storm God, and Bhima/Vayu/wind God. But the five sons/Pandava sons are killed by Ashwatthama/Shiva/Rudra.
Agni/fire represents the flow- but it is not the flow. Fire is pure energy, like the flow, but at the same time fire is limited and thus related to experience based/ ego/ calculative thinking. Vishnu/Shiva represent transcendence/intuition/inspiration. The Mahabarate points to the transcendence of Agni fire/Draupadi, Arjuna/Indra/Storm God, and Vayu/Bhima, to the flow/Shiva/Vishnu/Oneness/all pervasiveness/nothing.
In the Ramayana Bhima is going to step over the tail of Hanuman/Shiva. Stepping over somebody is a way of top dogging him. But Bhima cannot even lift the tail of Shiva/Hanuman. This again is representing the superiority fo the flow over the limited wind. The wind is related to breath and wind/Vayu/breath can help one to achieve pure awareness/the flow in meditation, but the flow/Shiva/Vishnu is ultimate. Hanuman/Shiva and Rama/Vishnu are one.
Hanuman also tries to eat the Sun God/Surya when he is a child. Indra hits Hanuman with a thunderbolt, and the wind God Vayu, Hanuman's Father, gets angry and deprives the world of wind/air/ breath. The demigods and all life is dieing. Indra relents and he gives Hanuman/Shiva the strength of his thunderbolt. The other demigods give Hanuman/Shiva their strengths. This again is representing the supremacy of Shiva/Vishnu/the flow. Hanuman/Shiva desiring to eat the sun/Sun God is a metaphor of the transcendence of knowledge/calculative thinking (the sun God represents knowledge- and it is interesting also that Hanuman sees the sun as a fruit- like the fruit from the tree of knowledge). Knowledge is a means to Shiva/the flow, but also knowledge can distract one from Shiva/the flow/intuition/inspiration.
It makes sense that Draupadi/fire is married to all of the demigods/Pandavas. For instance, Indra/the storm God uses fire/Agni with lightning. Vayu/Bhima blows fire/Agni, and Agni/Draupadi needs wind to spread and to survive. Yogananda in his book on the Mahabarata does not see the connections that I have discovered, but Yogananda does say that Draupadi represents the "kundalini energy". Kundalini energy does represent fire. Vayu/Bhima/wind/the breath in yoga meditation does effect kundalini energy/fire/Draupadi. Indra/emotions/confidence intellect does effect kundalini energy/fire/agni/Draupadi. These might be the meaning of the marriage of these Pandavas/demigods all married to Draupadi/Agni/fire.
Draupadi/fire pretends to not like Karna/Sun God, who is the Pandava's enemy, but secretely she "wishes to marry Karna/Sun God as well". The Pandava/demigods discover this about Draupadi/fire God, because of Krishna/Vishnu. Knowledge/Power/Sun God, and Agni/Kundalini energy/emotions/agni are connected. Shiva/Ashwatthama and other Karuavas kill Arjuna/Indra's son Abhimanu/Chandra/moon God and the other sons of the Pandavas/demigods, heping to curb the demigods pride. This represents Shiva/Vishnu/the flow/intuition/inspraition emerging out of and beyond experience based/ sensory based thinking/the pandavas/the demigods.
Jarasandha was a man who was really two separate people glued together into one. He represents dualistic ego consciousness. Krishna/Vishnu, Bhima/Wind God/Breath, and Arjuna/intellect/Storm God, go to Jarasandha, and allow Jarasandha to chose which one of them to fight him. Jarasandha choses Bhima/Wind God/breath. With the breath in meditation you can transcend dualsitc ego consciousness/Jarasndha. Bhima rips Jarasandha in half. Krishna tells Bhima to "rip Jarasandha in half". Jarasandha pretended to have transcendent consciousness, but he really was not in the flow- he really had dualsitic ego consciousness. Krishna/Vishnu tells Bhima/wind God/breath to rip Jarasandha in half- this represents exposing the dualsitic ego consciosness, becoming aware of it, and transcending it. But every time Jarasandha is ripped in half, he comes back together. It is very difficult to overcome dualsitic ego consciousenss, and even if you overcome it for a moment, it is very easy to get trapped into dualsitic ego software. Finally Vishnu/Krishna/the flow shows Bhima/wind God/breath how to separat the two halves of Jarasandha permanently and destroy him/destroy dualistic ego software/complete transcendence/Vishnu/flow.
It's important to note that it was only by Krishnas direction/Vishnu/ the flow that Bhima killed Jarasandha, again demonstrating that Krishna/Vishnu/the flow/self transcendence/inspiration/intuition is supreme.
At the Kurukestra war Krishna/Vishnu tells Arjuna/Indra/King of the Demigods/ Storm God "O son of Kunti [Arjuna/Indra], I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable om in the Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and ability in man. I am the original fragrance of the earth, and I am the heat in fire. I am the life of all that lives, and I am the penances of all ascetics."
Here we are seeing Krishna/Vishnus all pervasiveness/oneness- in that he is the "water God/Varuna, Sun God/Surya, Earth Goddess/Bhumi, Fire God/Agni"- but he is the essence of all of them and the transcendent aspect- everything is an illusion but Vishnu/Krishna/the flow.
Krishna/Vishnu says to Arjuna/Indra "I am present in everything, but I am also unique from everthing"/transcendence/the flow. Krishna/Vishnu says "I know everybody, but nobody knows me". Vishnu/Krishna is apophatic- there is nothing that you can say about him- this is the flow/pure awareness. This really humbles Arjuna/Indra and Arjuna/Indra is no longer concerned for protection and promotion of his ego body- recognizing that he and everything really is Vishnu/Krishna/ no thing. Indra Storm God/Arjun then kills Karna/Sun God. The clouds block the sun.
Vishnu/Krishna says to Arjuna/Indra, "among the poets I am Shukracharya". Shukracharya is Venus/morning star/lucifer. Jesus similarly in the Bible is Venus/morning star, and lucifer is Venus/morning star.
Srutayudha in the Mahabarata is the son of the Varuna/sea God/Ocean God. Many people worshipped the Ocean as the embodiment of Truth and Justice. Srutayudha fights against the Pandavas. He is on the side of the Kauravas. The sea/ocean was seen as having negative qualities- and it makes sense the sea/ocean would fight against Indra/Storm God, and Bhima/wind God, and Draupadi/ Agni/fire God (the sea woud put out fire). In the Ramayana Ram/Vishnu meditats for the sea to split for him, and the sea does not and Rama gets angry and says that the sea is full of poison and salt- this again is establishing the supremacy of Vishnu/the flow over anything limited. In the flow your consciousness is not limited, but is in pure awareness. Krishna and the Pandavas battle Srutayduha/Sea God in the Mahabarata. The ocean seems unlimited, and thus can represent Truth/the flow, but the ocean technically is limited, so worshiping the Ocean would not technically be the flow. Perhaps the Ocean represents the subconscious/instincts as opposed to intuition/the flow. Varuna/Srutayudha/Ocean tries to attack Arjuna/Indra/Storm God, like how in a storm the Ocean seems to be battling it. This battle might be representative of primitive instinct/predator prey consciousness/Varuna fighting Indra/intellect. Srutayudha/ Varuna/Ocean goes against and unarmed Arjuna/Indra, and Srutayudha/Oceans weapon reflects back at him and destroys him- because he was told that if he used his weapon against an unarmed person it would destroy him.
In the movie Godzilla, Serizawa kills himself in order to kill Godzilla. Godzilla represents Satan/ a dragon/ knowledge of good and evil/ experience based calcualtive thinking. Serizawa takes an oxygen destroying tank with him to the ocean and sacrifices himself with the tank in order to kill Godzilla, like Jesus sacrificing himself to kill Satan. This represents the death of the self to the flow.
In the Novel Robbie/Irobot, Gloria wants to keep her robot, but the family wants the robot gone. The robot represents calculative dualsitic ego thinking. A robot can only think based off of calculative ego thinking, and does not have intuition/inspiration. The family want Gloria to get rid of the robot/ transcend the robot/conventional consciousness to the flow. But the robot saves Gloria and she keeps him. The ego/robot is "magnificent in its accomplishments". People maintain the ego even after they have transcended it.
The movie King Kong is a metaphor of breaking free of "special relationships"'. Special relationships are "self confirmatory"/the ego. Kong takes sacrificial women with him in the firs 1933 film King Kong. Kong is "trying to find fulfillment in a special relationship". But you can't find fulfillment in a special relationship. A special relationship can help break you out of yourself- in that you have to focus on another- but it is still self confirmatory. When it doesn't work out you think "maybe if I try another". Only the flow/inquiry/mutual participation/transcendnece/expansion of the self brings fulfillment. Kong is given Ann. Kong takes Ann to the top of the Empire state building and is killed. A policeman says that "planes got him", but Denham says "No it wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty kiled the Beast". Beauty is the flow/oneness/Truth. When in the Truth/flow/beauty/oneness you die to the self.
The first James Bond novel Casino Royale was about how special relationships do not work out and you cannot gain fulfilmment in special relationshps. Bond's wife turns out to have been a spy and she kills herself. Bond at the end of the novel says "the bitch is dead". The novel was about Bond saving her and doing all this stuff with her. They got married but she was just a spy.
I'm the first person to have discovered this stuff that I know of.
Bhisma is the son of Ganges/Ganga. He therefore represents the Ganges River Goddess. The Ganges River Goddess is on Shiva's head. Shiva/Ganges river Goddess is salvation even for the wicked- the wicked can go into the Ganges river and have their sins absolved. This is death of the old self to birth of the new self.
Bhisma/Ganges River Goddess fights on the side of the Kauravas/demons agains the Pandavas/demigods. Bhisma/Ganges river is on the side of the wicked- beause the wicked get death and rebirth from her.
Ganges/Bhisma was brought to Earth by Shiva after King Sagrar worshipped the sun God/surya, and then Shiva (showing the supremacy of Shiva over Surya/the sun). Similarly Hanuman/Shiva eats Surya/sun God showing that the sun and Shiva are one. Ashwatthama/Rudra/Shiva fights with the Kaurava/demons against the Pandavas/demigods. Karna/Sun God fights with Bhisma as well. So we see the connection/unity of the Sun God/Karna, the River Goddess/Bhisma, and Shiva/Ashwatthama. They fight against the demigods like Arjuna/Indra/storm God and Bhima/Wind God/Vayu. Bhisma/river Goddess however refuses to kill the Pandavas/demigods and willingly is killed by Arjuna/Indra. Surya/Sun God and Shiva are seen as one. Or at least sun God/knowledge/power is a way to Shiva/Vishnu/ the flow, although not an full proof way. Somebody can gain a lot of knowledge/sun God/Surya, but use it in ego ways and not attan the fow/Shiva/Vishnu/oneness. In the same way Ganges River/Bhisma/death and resurrection/dieing to wicked ways to the flow/Shiva/Vishnu is a way to the flow/Shiva/Vishnu, but not a perfect/ideal way because then somebody can intentionally act ego oriented in hopes of Shiva/Gangese river Goddess/Bhisma saving them through a new birth (The Ganges River Goddess is on Shiva's head). Shiva and Vishnu are one/they represent the flow- but Shiva is the flow that can be attained even by a sinner.
The death of Bhisma/Ganges River Goddess again shows the supremacy of Ashwatthama/Shiva/the flow who does not die in the battle, and Krishna/Vishnu/the flow, who does not die in the battle. Vishnu/Krishna, and Shiva/Ashwatthama are one. They represent the flow/transcendence of experience based, ego thinking to intuition and inspiration.
Ganga/Ganges river kills her seven sons. She is married to Shantanu, the King of Hastanipur, and they have seven sons, who are the vasus. The vasus are the elements like Earth, Air, Wind, Fire, and sky, aether, sun and moon. They are the attendants of Arjuna/Indra. Ganges/River Goddess killing the vasus/her children represents again the idea that Vishnu/Krishna is supreme.She leaves only one son, Bhisma alive. The killing of the Vasus represents the transcendenceof experience based, sensory thinking/limited consciousness ot the flow/Vishnu/Shiva. Ganga is on the head of Shiva/the flow. Ganga/River Goddess represents death and resurrection of the ego self/baptism in a river. This coincides with the destruction of experience based thinking/calculative thinking to inspiration/the flow/Shiva/Vishnu.
There is a spiritual aspiration behind the abberation of the Mother killing her sons. The spiritual aspiration is letting go of attachment to be open to the flow. If you are attached to anything then if inspiration brings you to do anything, but your attachment is in the way, you are not open to the inspriation. For instance, if I'm playing basketball and I am attached to doing a particular move, then I cannot be open to inspiration/intuition/ the flow and I will do only what I want to do. Jesus described that he did not come to bring peace, but he came to "divide families"- this means break people free of attachment to the parochial. That does not mean to "hate your family" or "leave your family" but it means to expand your consciousness to see the oneness of all things and all things as your family- and even transcend the notion of family to oneness. Some people give priority to family due to superior inferior dualitic eog software- where they identify themselves with their family and thus try to be superior through their family. The family can be important as a protective enclosure to help one to become strong enough to develop to the point where he can transcend his ego self to the flow, however. Family harmony is important and can be a product of hte flow. But Jesus says "who is my family, my family are those who do the will of my Father in Heaven". The Father is the flow- the flow is oneness/inspiration/intuition. In the song "Hey Ram", the people chant "Ram is my Mother Ram is my Father Hey Ram Hey Ram". Ram is Vishnu/the flow. Seeing Ram as one's Father is transcending all attachments to inspiraiton/intuition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4OAVIpCiss However, I think that Ganges killing hte incarnations of hte vayus/elements is a metaphor of transcending epxeirence based ego thinking.
Ganga/River Goddess is one with Shiva and holds a trident like Shiva/ Ganga/Goddess is on Shiva's head. Shiva is the flow and baptism/death of the self to a new self is related to the flow/oneness/no thingness. Ganga rides on top of a crocodile as her vehicle. The crocodile represents the ego/fire, reptile like Satan or Leviathan that the tetragrammaton in the Bible kills. Riding on top of the crocodile represents transcendence of the ego. The Ganges river originally came from Lord Vishnu's foot puncturing a hole in the Universe when he turned into a giant after being a dwarf/Vamuna. Ganga Goddess washed over Vishnus feet. Vishnu is the flow/oneness. Ganges therefore is the flow. She is held in Shiva's hair. Shiva and Vishnu are one. They are the flow.
Ganga/River Goddess was released to the Earth from Shiva's hair after Sagara, the sun Worshipper, worshipped Shiva. The Sun and Shiva are one. Indra/storm God stole one of Sagara's horses. Sagara is a sun worshipper. Indra/Storm God stealing Sagara's horse again is showing the conflict between the Clouds/Storm God/Indra, and the Sun/Sun God/Surya. Sagaras sons retrieve the horse but they blame a sage or stealing it, and the sage turns them to fire with his eyes after they pelt the sage with rocks. The Sun Worshippers are ego oriented. Worship fo the sun can be associated with the desire for power/knowledge. But Sagara worships the sun to bring Ganga/River Godess to Earth to bring his sun worshipping sons back tolife. Sagara dies in his attempts but his descendants carry on his attemtps to worship the Sun God to bring ganga river Goddess down to Earth. Finally Brahma tells Bhagiratha, one of Sagara, the sun worshippers descendants to worship Shiva and Shiva will bring Ganga/River Goddess to Earth. He worships Shiva and Ganga/River Goddess is brought ot earth and his 60 thousand sons are brought back to life. Shiva is the flow and Ganga/river Goddess is related to the flow.
We again saw the conflict between Sun God and Indra/Storm God. Worshipping the Sun God representst he desire for power and knowledge. Indra tries to curb this power. But there is no fomrualt ot he flow. Somebody can attain the flow after seeking knowledge and power, which is what happens to Bhagirava. Its just not full proof and the desire for knowledge and power/ ego can also bring negative consequences. Worshipping Indra/storm God is more for self protection/intellect- self protection can be beneficial. If you seek enlightenment beore you are ready you will fall apart/become schizophrenic. If you play in a basketball game before you are prepared you will not play well. Self protection is an important protective enclosure in getting to the flow/Vishnu/Shiva. But the flow is transcendnece of hte self. It is common to hear people say they wish to "love themselves". But in the flow there is no self- the self is not your businesss, but inquiry/expansion of awareness is your business. The conflict between Indra/the clouds, and Surya/the sun is the conflict between the desire for power and knowledge and also the desire to protect and preserve the ego self- they can go hand and hand but they can also run into conflict.
The reason why Shantanu and Ganga River goddess had to incarnate on Earth and the first seven sons had to be killed, but not Bhisma, was, they were previously in heaven as Mahabishak and Ganga/River Goddess, but Ganga River Goddesses skirt was blown upward and she was naked and Mahabishak did not look away but lustfully looked at Ganga River Goddess and she lustfully looked at him. This is the ego/ dualsitic consciousness/separation consciousenss. Jesus says "even looking at a woman with lust is adultery". As a result Brahma/Creator God, Ganga's Father, cursed Mahabishak and Ganga River Goddess to come to Earth as Shatanu/King of Hastanipur and Ganga River Goddess and have their first seven sons killed through Ganga River Goddess killing them. I think that this story again is trying to portray that yes, Ganga river Goddess is holy- baptism/ death and rebirth is holy- but at the same time the Ganga River is limited- it points to the flow/Shiva/Vishnu- but it is not the flow/Shiva/Vishnu.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasu
Shantanu raised Kripa. Kripa was an avatar of Brahma. Kripa and his sister Kripi were found as children and raised by Shantanu/King of Hastanipur. Kripa fought with the Kauravas/demons against the Pandavas/demigods. Kripa was one of the three survivors of the war on the Karuaava side. Brahama is a creator God- creation is limited and Brahma gets arrogant because of his creation- that is why Brahma is not worshipped like Vishnu and Shiva. Brahma worship is not looked highly upon. But Kripa/Brahma survives-Brahma is still the Father of the demigods, and one with Shiva and Vishnu. Brahma is the relative of all of the demigods and demons.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamuna_in_Hinduism
Balarama/Shesha/Vishnu forces Yamuna river Goddess of life to comply to him. This shows the supremacy of the flow/ Shesha/Vishnu. Drinking the Yamuna absolves sins/ it is a tributary of Ganga/river Goddess. But only in relation to Vishnu/flow/Shiva.
I’m the first person to discover this stuff that I know of
We see the conflict between Sun God Surya and Storm God Indra (clouds v the sun) when the Sun God gives Virochona the demon and son of Prahlad a boon for worshipping him. But then Indra/storm God kills Virochona. He feared that Virochona with the help of Sun God’s boon would take over heaven. The same story is in the Mahabarata where where Karna/sun God’s son/son God is fighting with thr Kauravas/demons against Indra/Arjuna somn of Indra/storm God
This is the battle between the sun and the clouds, where the clouds block out the sun and the sun fights through the clouds
Ultimately Virochona's/demon son Bali/demon attacks Indra/Storm God and the demigods in heaven and makes them flee to Earth. Vishnu in the form of Vamuna, the dwarf pokes out the eye of Shukarcharya/Venus/lucifer and conquers the whole world and gives the heavens back to the demigods. This again shows the supremacy of the flow/intuitiom/inspiration /Vishnu/Vamuna over experience based thinking/demigods
Vyasa narrarated the Mahabarata without a pause like how I wrote my raps. Vyasa is an expansion of Vishnu/the flow. Working without pause is without calculative ego based thinking. That is the flow/inspiration/intuition. Ganesha used his tusk to write the Mahabarata. Ganesha is wisdom. Wisdom is one with Vishnu/the flow
The Puranas, Upanishads, and the Mahavarata were all written by Vyasa/Vishnu/the flow/inspiration/intuition

from my research chemical imbalances are a myth. There has been experiments done to see if there are chemical imbalamces in people deemed mebtally ill. The only chemical imbalances ever discovered in cerebrospinal fluid are imbalances found after medicine was taken
Similarly psychiatrists claim that “schizophrenics have shrinking brains”. The only evidence of shrinking brains ever discovered in schizophrenics was the brains of schizophrenics on antipsychotic medication. And Whitaker and others point out that the shrinkage was done by the drugs and not the “illness”. Mental illness is not an illness because there has never been any evidence for physical correlations- just hypotheses. And all the hypotheses have actually had evidence that suggests they are incorrect. And for the most part the medications work no better than placebos and do more harm than benefit due to horrible aide effexts like tardive dyskinesia where you shake, like retrograde ejaculation (yes people given antipsychotis are not able to ejaculate- its a modern form of eugenics) where you cannot ejaculate, like terrible pain and drueling (a lot of these things that you see when you see “mentally ill people” are not caused by the illness but by the medicine). Its kind of unbelievable.
If you want to take paychiatric medication because you like it that is fine. Many people like to take drugs- be it lsd or ayahuasca or whatever and they claim they like it. My experience with people who have takenthose drugs too is it does more harm than benefit. I have met people who have take. ayahuasca and “they never came back” and they are more engrossed in dualistic ego consciousness than ever. I also think that some people can benefit from the drugs. People may also benefit from paychiatric drugs.
I just think it is not correct to say they cure “mental illnesses” becuase thwre is no evidence that delusions or depression or bipolar or any of these things are illnesses. Diabetes is an illness due to blood sugar levels. Aids is an illness due to a virus. There is no physical test that can be administered that can tell somebody they are “mentally ill”. Its not an illness. Sure some people act angry. Some people act weird. There are also perks of acting mentally ill. You can get money from the government. You can get help and sympathy. Its true some people are truly suffering. There is just no evidence its due to an illness. There is no evidence of a “chemical imbalance”.
In my opiniom the psychiatric medications cause more harm than good. Psychiatric medications cause “suicidal ideation and homicidal behavior”. The labels on the boxes say so. I don’t think they prevent it. And the medicines don’t cure schizophrenia or bipolar- they just are chemical castrations that give the persob brain damage and thus make the person quiet and managable. They are modern day lobotomies without the tools but with chemicals.
If you want to get a lobotomy thats your choice. Some people like getting lobotomies. Just recognize the lobotomy did not fiz an illness, it just gave you brain damage and you mifht prefer having brain damage
I asked a doctor at ucla psychiatrist and he admitted to me “you are right there is mo evidence that there are chemical imbalances. We just tell people there is because it influences them to take the medicine, and we think the medicine works”. But I don’t thinkt he medicine works like he does. I think it does more harm than benefit and so does Whitaker and many others. I’m not telling you you should or should not take medicine. Thats up to you and you may think it helps you. I’m just letting you know that even professional psychoatrist doctors will admit to you that there is no evidence for chemical imbalances apart from people who have taken medication which ironically cause chemical imbalanceax. I know, its extremely ironic. Since there are no known physical correlates to “mental illnesses” mental illness is an incorrect term.
I heard a psychiatrist say “before psychiatric medication people use to be cured of their delusions in schizophrenia or cured of bipolar, now nobody is ever cured but they take medicine their whole lives”. Thats because the medicine is causing the people brain damage and body damage in my opinion. Things are more dangeorus today than in the time of One Flew Over the Cookoos nest because back then they did not have antipsychotics. Antipsychotics cause brain damage like a pick in the brain, but the insidious thing is you don’t see the pick. And psychiatrists stil force people to take medicine like in One Flew Over the Cookoos nest. In my opinion it is not medicine. In my opinion it is a form of torture no different from when paychoatrists sprayed patients with hoses or dumped them in freezing water for “cures” but honestly I would rather be sprayed with a hose because the side effects are less mauling.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Breggin
Breggin describes how “atypical antipsychotics are said to me less dangerous, but in fact they are as dangeorous as typical and often even more dangerous because they do not just knock out the dopine rexwptros in the brain, but they also knock out the serotonin receptors and can cause evwn more brain damage
And you can be ok with that. Some people yiu can argue “need to be given brain damage” because they are too much of a nuissanxe to society. But let’s be honest. You are not “curing a disease” but you are “inflicting brain damage /chemical lobotomy” as a cure. That is ok but I’m just pointing out that this is a more honest and transparent way of describing it. Straight jackets are no longer legal. Physical lobotomies are no longer legal. So now doctors have to resort to chemical lobotomiws through antipsychotics. The antipsychotics are excruciatingly painful for the people being given them. I’m just trying to put some transparency on the situation and say whats really going on. The question is “is there a better solution for unwanted members of society or nuissances in society” which are the people who end up in psych wards. The question that ought to be raised is “should people like Kanye West be lobotomized”. Of course in that situation many people will say no because they like his music. That’s the question that needs to be asked. Is there a better solution to dealing with annoying people and uncontrollable people and unproductive people other than torture and lobotomies (in this case chemical). I think this is the honest question that many are afraid to raise but it gets most close down to the point.
And the drugs do that. People on paychiatric antipsychotics die like 40 years earlier than most people. The people on these drugs get disbetes and horrific side effects that literally kill them. The drugs are a form of discarding unwanted members of society who are a nuissance. Lets be honest and transparent and not be hypocritical. I honestly think a better solution is to create working camps that force these people to work and the work helps break them out of their disruptive modes of behavior. Educating the people and putting them in institutions where they are forced to do labor I think is the best solution but thats just my opinion
In indigenous tribes people who were “disruptive” were either exiled (where theybwould not survive) or forced to work and they got better. Work takes people out of themselves and helps them to break free of immaturity. There is no formula. Labor camps is a good solution for some. But also you have to be really careful and do not indiscriminately put peolle in work camps. For many there are different programs and solutions. All I’m saying is there are different solutions other than psychiatry. I don’t think that lobotmizing people or killing them is beneficial. But creating environments or campa where they are driven to be productive and work actually might be the most healing thing for them- way more healing than medicine which it has been proven does not really help people
People might think I’m joking but this is one very beneficial solution. Of course there needs to be good checks and balances, making sure a “genius” is not put in one of these systems. But in the camps you give the people a nice environmebt and education. You give them healthy food making sure they get all the vitamins and minerals they need. You give them work to help them stay physically fit and active and you give them books and resources. There can be incentives for instance if they do not work they will not eat. Stuff like that. The more I think about it it might not work but it also mught be the best way to do it. Regardless I think its more beneficial than the medicine/poison given people. Regardless forcing somebody in labor is not harmful for the person but is beneficial for the most part- not in all situations but for the most part. Giving medicine to people for the most part is harmful
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-psychiatry
The Yamuna river touched baby Krishna's/Vishnu's feet when Vasudeva crossed it after running from Kansa, Krishna's uncle, who wanted him killed. Krishna represents the flow/oneness/transcendnece of the self. This is why when Hindus drink from the Yamuna river their sins are forgiven. Yamuna is a goddess of life, but the Mahabarata shows that Krishna/flow/Vishnu/all pervaisveness. is supreme and the Yamuna tried to touch Krishna's/Vishnu's feet to gain its holiness.
Krishna/Vishnu ultimately kills Kamsa. The arc of the Universe bends toward justice as MLK said. This is the antientoripic reordering function of Buckminster Fuller. Kamsa represents evil/the ego, and Kamsa is killed by Krishan/Vishnu/the flow/all pervasiveness/oneness.
Similarly Jews and Musliims drink water from baptisms in wudu and mikvas for purification of sins.
Rohini, is the first wife of Vasudeva, the other wife being Devaki, who bore Krishna. Devaki transferred Balarama, the avatar of Vishnu/the snake which Vishnu lays upon Shesha. Balarama/Shesha snake God represents the flow, because he is one with Vishnu.
Rohini is the avatar of Surabhi, the mother of cows. Surabhi gives anything anybody wishes for, so long as the person is pure/in the flow. If somebody is in expectation consciousness/ ego desire consciousenss- goal oriented consciousenss, they do not gain what they want from Surabhi. But if they are in the flow/ pure awareness, then Surabhi grants them plenty. Surabhi/Rohini immolates herself in fire when Balarama/Shesha/Vishnu dies. Rohini/Surabhi/wish fulfilling cow killing herself when Balarama/Vishnu/Shesha dies is metaphorical of the idea that plenty/abundance/cow God is a byproduct of Shehsa/Vishnu, so if Shesha/Vishnu/Balarama dies then plenty/Rohini/Subhadra/Cow Goddess dies as well.
I don't think that the Mahabarata is actually encouraging women to kill themselves in fire when their husbands die (unless this is metaphorical of fire burning away their egos to the flow). I think that Suurabhi/Cow Goddess/plenty kills herself when Balarama/Shesha/Vishnu dies because this is showing that plenty/abundance/Cow Goddess/Surabhi/Rohini and Shesha/Vishnu/Balarama/the flow are one- plentycomes from the flow
Amba/Amba River Goddess in the Mahabarata is cursed by Ganges River Goddess to become a "tortuous, winding river that is dry much fo the year". Bhisma/son of Ganga Goddess river/Ganga Goddess river steals Amba and her sisters because Amba's Father was "revenge oriented"/top dog underdog dualstiic ego consciousess oriented and did not invite Bhisma to his party. Amba wanted to marry Salwa but Salwa did not acccept her after she was stolen by Bhisma. Bhisma would not accept her because he was an ascetic, and Bhismas brother did not accept her because she wanted to marry Salwa. So Amba became angry and wanted to kill Bhisma. This again I think is showing that Krishna/the flow/Vishnu is supreme, and Amba Goddess and Ganga River Goddess are powerful only in that they are connected to the flow/Vishnu- yet they are limited and not the flow in and of themselves.
https://youtu.be/4R6MXO2j0V0
21 minutes he talks about how “the changes in the brain” are not due to an illness but are due to the medicines. I studied other researchers years ago and saw all the studies that showed that “brain shrinkage” and all that was only caused by medicine, not any illness
I wrote a book on this on 2014 and put it on FaceBook
28 minutes he talks about how “mainstream paychiatrists admit there is no chemical imbalances”. Many people don’t believe this but I’ve talked to a paychiatrist at UCLa and other paychiatrists and he said “yes its true there is no evidence for chemical imbalances, but the drugs work so we tell people there is so they take them”
Yeah its true “the drugs work”. They give a person brain damage like a lobotomy literally, and that keeps a an annoying patient docile. Somebody is going on and on about “how the earth is flat” - give him an antipsychotic (tranquilizer) he’s going to be in so much pain and so stupefied you will not hear about the flat earth again, so long as he is on that drug, and you can’t take him off of it because now his brain actually is imbalanced and it needs the drug. No “chemical imbalance was cured”. Just if you damage somebodys frontal lobe they stop being annoying- they become zombie like and thats called “the cure”. And thats what antipsychotics do- they damage the patients frontal lobe like lobotomies of old used to do.
29 minutes he talks about how “well informed paychoatrists never believed in the chemical imbalance theory” and that is true, I asked regular psychiatrists and they agreed
At 59 minutes he talks about how patients given drugs are less likely tonrexover than patients given placebos. Showing that contrary to helping patients, drugs hurt patients
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=NNvCyUC_LPc#
15:00 he talks about how the former editor and chief of the American journal of psychiatry did studies on the idea that schizophrenia causes brain shrinkage.
She discovered that there is in fact brain shimrinkage in people diagnosed with schizoprhenia. But she also discovered the shrinkage was not caused by a “disease” but was caused by the drugs.
Ironically now judges in hospitals will force patients to take antipsychotics and the judges will say “the drugs are fighting brain shrinkage in the brain so we need to force you to take them”. The horrific irony is the drugs are CAUSING, not fighting brain shrinkage. The antipsychotics are nothing more than frontal lobe lobotomies without the pick going into the brain but inconspicuous
I looked at other studies and wrote about it in my book I wrote in 2014 that the brain shrinkage is “entirely due to the drugs”
I listened to a lecture by Breggin where he showed the data that demonstrates that “the shrinkage of the brain caused by the medicine happens within a month of taking the medicine. You can take the medicine for less than a month and your brain will shrink”. They didnthe study on monkeys and showed the medicine causes brain shrinkage
https://m.youtube.com/watch…
Whittaker talks about how people on antidepressants for only up to six months can have permanent changes in their brains where their brains will never rebound to normal serotonin levels. No evidence has ever been shown of “chemical imbalances” prior to taking of medicine. The extreme irony is the medicine is advertised as "fighting low serotonin levels". But there has never been any evidence of low serotonin levels before the medicine. The extreme irony is that the medicine in fact "creates low serotonin levels" in the long run. As Paul in the Bible says "the good that I would I do not, and that which I would not do I end up doing. Who shall deliver me from this body of death (Jesus delivers the flow delivers)". The irony is that mental health people are doing what they profess they do not want to do. Mental health advocates are claiming they want to "help people" but they are mainly just hurting people. People "want to be helped by mental health programs" and they are hurting themselves. They want to "fight low serotonin levels"- but there is no evidence that there was ever low serotonin levels in the first place- and they are creating low serotonin levels- they are creating the thing they claim to be fighting. The world works in that manner many times. When I was considered the best shooter in the nation, I remember I would catch the ball and just shoot quick and I did not think at all- ironically I did not think at all but I was considered the best shooter in the nation. I was considered the best shooter in the nation (considered by many the best player in the nation- including many coaches) and won an AAU national Championship in Tennessee and got fourth place AAU national championship in Florida and got another fourth place AAU national championship. But my Dad got me a shootaway machine to "help my shot"- he said "with the shootaway machine you will be able to shoot five hundred shots a day" thinking this would be good- but it destroyed my shot and my game. Its actually a common principle in reality that what you "fight" you often help. Existence is full of paradoxes- paradoxes are programmed into existence. I came up with the quote "your greatest ally is your enemy".
At 6 minutes he talks about how there are people who say “people with ADHDsbrains are different from normal peoples”. But that again has only been shown for people with ADHD who have taken medicine. There has never been any evidence prior to taking medicine
The horrific paradox is the “brain abnormalities” that people are claiming the medicines fight, are actually ONLY caused by the medicine.
Psychiatrists often force people to take these medicines to "prevent suicide". I think more often than not the medicines contribute to people comitting sucidie. I know of cases where people were force injected in psych wards and left the hospital and killed themselves. The drugs cause extreme pain and suffering to the people- they are seriously forms of torture- and I think they commit suicide to escape the pain of the medicines/poisons.
The sad thing is there are children who do not want to take these drugs, but their parents force them to take them because their parents are ignorant and misinformed, and the psychiatrists have the power to force people to take these medicines/ poisons. I think it is possible that many of mental health workers do think they are "helping people"- like my Dad thought he would help me by getting the "shootaway machine". But what people "want to do" is many times the opposite of what they do. Paul says “the good that I would I do not”. As Jesus said "many on that day will say Lord Lord we did many things in your name', and I will say, 'away from me evil doers I never knew you. The people wanted to please Jesus and thought they were being pious by doing things in his name- they accomplished the opposite.
I met a girl who said her Dad was Jewish and she told me that she "hated Christianity". She considered herself like a "hippie" and would do yoga and she hated Christianity. Then her boyfriend who saw himself as a Christian (people often attract what they hate because there is often no difference- a hippie liberal and a conservative Christian often have the same good gu v bad guy right v wrong software) brought her to a Christian retreat and she claimd that Jesus "touched her" and she cried and broke down and became a "Christian". Then as I spoke to her she made fun of "hippies" and "progressives" and she was now a conservative Christian and thought she "made it".
The fact of the matter was she did not change. She just became the same thing, but took the other side of the same coin. When she was on the retreat she did have a "profound experience" because she broke free of her ego and was opened to the flow- she stopped "hating Christianity" and was free of her ego- she had a transcendent experience. But then she interpreted this as "Jesus saving her"- which in a sense it was, but then she became a Christian- adopting a new ego identity and becoming the same thing that she was before, but now in a new garb. Now she hated "Hindus and liberals". She made a step in the right direction at least.
In the stories of Krishna, the gopi women are taking a bath in the river, and they are naked. Krishna takes their clothes and hides their clothes. The women tell Krishna to give them their clothes back, but Krishna tells them that he will not.
Some people look at this literally and they say they think "Krishna is perverted" for doing this. But the story is metaphorical. Krisha is Vishnu. Yashoda, Krishna's adoptive Mother, looks into Krishna's mouth and she sees "the whole Universe". Krishna is Vishnu, and Vishnu means all pervasiveness- oneness/transcendence/the flow. Krishna Vishnu taking the clothes of the gopis is metaphorical of him taking away their ego identities. People identify with their clothing- their attachments. In the flow you lose yourself. When I was considered the best shooter in the nation, by some the best basketball player, I had no idea what I was doing- I had lost myself completely and all the time. Krishna Vishnu stealing the gopis clothes is metaphorical of, when you are in the flow, your ego identity attachment dissolves, and you are thus open to inspriation and intuition. This story is not telling people to "get rid of their clothes and walk around naked". That is a formula and all formulas come from the ego. In the flow/ inspiration you can wear clothes, but you are just not attached to them.
The flow can bring wealth and prosperity and fancy clothes. But if you are in the flow- you are in a transcendental state of oneness where you no longer exist, but it is the flow working through you. This is actually the Truth, that nobody exists- but there is only the flow.
If you get rid of your clothes to be superior, because you think that being inferior makes you superior- that is still the ego- that is not the flow.
Krishna washes the feet of one of his disciples. Similarly Jesus washes the feet of one of Peter. Peter saw Jesus as superior. Seeing somebody as superior is superior inferior ego software. There is no thing- everything is one. By washing Peter's feet, Jesus breaks Peter from conventional ego thinking. Jesus is helping Peter to break free of superior inferior ego software, to the flow. When somebody is focused on bieng superior ior inferior he is focused on the ego self. In the flow somebody works to excel and reach his highest potential, and loses the ego self.
Later somebody bows to Peter, and Peter says "don't bow to me I am a man". Sometimes it is ok to bow to somebody, as a ritual to show respect. But this man was bowing to Peter with superior inferiroe ego software, perhaps to make Peter do something for him/ego motivations. Peter recognized this and helped to break him free of the ego self through this response.
I'm the first person that I know of to discover this stuff.
Karna is the son of the Sun God. He represents the Sun God. The Sun God and Shiva are connected. Worshipping the sun God/knowledge/power can lead to Shiva/the flow- however it also can leas to destruction. King Sagara and his descendants worship the sun God/power/knowledge/ and they ultimately attain Shiva/the flow. Somebody can attain the flow after attemtps to achieve knowledge/power. Karna/Sun God at the beginning of the Mahabarata is put on the Ganges River/Ganga Goddess. Sagara similarly prays to the Sun God/Karna for the Ganga Goddess/Bhisma river to descend to Earth and bring Sagara's sons back to life who worshipped the Sun God/Karna, and thus were killed because of their desire for power/worship of Sun God. Indra/storm God was originally the one who stole Sagara's horse which led to his sons being killed. Indra is self protection, which is contrary to Sun God which is desire for power/knowledge- putting the self at risk more although still the ego. Ganga/Goddess is forgiveness of sins/ baptism/ death and rebirth related to Shiva/Flow. That is why Karna/Sun God, Bhisma, the son of the Ganga Goddess who represents the Ganga Goddess river, and Addhiswatha/Shiva/Rudra fight on the side of the Karuavas against Indra/Arjuna, Yuddhisthira/God of Dharma/Death son/God of Dharma, Bhima/God of Wind Varuna, Nakula/God of Medicne twin, and Sahadeva/God of medicine twin, and Krishna/Vishnu. Ultimately in the battle Krishna/Vishnu and Ashwathama/Shiva/Rudra are supreme- even though they fight each other- they both end up supreme. Ashwathama/Shiva is not killed. Krishna/Vishnu is not killed. Krishna/Vishnu/Ashwathama/Shiva are the flow. The pandavas/demigods have their children killed.
The supremacy of Shiva/Hanuman/Ashwathama and Vishnu/Krishna/Ram in the Hindu scriptuers shows the supremacy of the flow over experience based ego thinking.
Karna/Sun God was picked up on the River Bhagarath/Ganges River/River Goddess. King Sagar the sun worshipper worshipped the Sun and his son Bhagirath finally transcended worshipping the sun to worshipping Shiva in order to bring the Ganges River/Bhisma Goddess to Earth through Shiva/Ashwathama's hair. Karna/ Sun God, and Ganges Goddess/Bhisma, and Shiva/Aswhathama fight on the Kuru side in the Mahabarata. They are all connected. In the story of Sagara Indra/Arjun stole the sun worshipper Sagaras horse, leading to his sons being killed and leading to him having to pray for hte Ganges/Bhisma to descend to Earth. The Kauravas fight the Pandus/Arjuna/Indra.
Shiva/Ashwathama is the flow that a sinner can attain and Ganga/Bhisma river Goddess is the flow that a sinner can attain through baptism to Shiva (the Ganges Goddess is on Shiva's hair) and Karna/Sun God is Shiva- Shiva and the Sun God are one and a sinner can desire power and knowlege/Sun God but still attain the flow/Shiva/ pure awareness/ transcendence of self. This is why they fight together on the Kaurava side to curb the powr of the demigods/Pandavas who people worship for self protection/ ego reasons, although worship of them can also lead to the flow/Krishana//Vishnu/Shiva. The Mahabarata is a battle between demigods/experience based consciousness towards the transcendence of ego thinking to the flow/Krishna/Vishnu/Shiva.
There is a Hindu story of a boy worshipping a Shiva Lingam and the God of Death/Yama tries to take the boy, but because he is worshipping Shiva, Shiva saves the boy. Shiva is the flow/oneness/eternal life/pure awareness and there is no death/Yama in the flow/Shiva/Vishnu because there is no thing. This is why Ashwatthama/Shiva fights Yudhisthira/son of the God of death/God of Death during the war, as well as Aswhatthama/Shiva fights the other Pandavas/demigods. Shiva and Vishnu are one. They are both the flow.
Another way you can see how the Mother Ganges Goddess River and Shiva/Fow are related is the story of Shiva's wife Paravati- the reincarnation of Sati/Truth. I will also show how the God Himalaya Mountain and Paravati and Sun God and Shiva/Flow and Paravati/Truth are all related. The Ganges River comes from the Himalayas. Himavat is the Himalayas Mountain God- he represents the Himalayas Mountains. Himavat/Himalaya Mountain God is the Father of Ganges River Goddess- the Ganges river comes from the Himalayas mountain. Himavat/Himalayan Mountain God's wife is the daughter of Mt Meru. Shiva lives on Mt Meru/Kailash.
Ganga River Goddess's sister is Paravati/Truth. Paravati/Truth is Shiva/Flow's wife. So we see the connection between all of these figures. Himavat/Himalaya Mountain God also has a brother Jambavan who is the bear God- there are bears on the Himalayan mountains.
Ganges River Goddess is baptism/death and rebirth. Therefore Ganges River Goddess is related to the flow/Shiva. When you are baptized and reborn you are in the flow/Shiva/oneness. You die to the separate self to oneness/Shiva/Vishnu/all pervasiveness.
It is interesting that the Hindu stories show Ganges River Goddesses Mom Mt Meru and Dad Himalaya Mountai God questioning if they should marry their daughter to Shiva- this shows that they are imperfect- however Shiva/the flow is supreme/perfect. This shows the importance of transcending experience based limited consciousness represented by Himavan Himalayan Mountain and Mt Meru to Shiva/the flow/oneness. Himavan/Himalayan Mountain God's wife is deluded to think that Shiva is bad, because Shiva comes in disguise and tells her that he is bad to fool her, but Naryana/messenger God later reminds Paravati/Truths Mom that Shiva is beautiful and she sees that he is perfect and she happily marries her daughter to Shiva/flow.
I described that Virochona the demon is told that if he prays to the Sun God/Surya/Power/knowledge then he will get a boon that will protect him from dieing- he will get a crown that so long as he wears it he won't die. Virochona is the son of Prahlad. Virochona means illumination and Prahlad means joy.
I described in the Mahabarata the big rivalry is between Sun God/Karna and Arjuna/Indra/Storm God.
Virochona goes to Himalaya Mountains/Himavan/Himilaya mountain God and meditates to the Sun God to get his boon. But after he gets the boon Indra/Storm God kills him. This is the rivalry between the sun and the clouds. Sun God represents knowledge and power, but Indra checks that knowledge and power.
I also described how when Sagar the Sun Worshipper's descendant Bhagaritha prays to the Sun God to give him a boon to bring his 60 thousand brothers back to life after they sinned due to their sun worship and desire for power which caused them to become reckless and throw rocks at a sage, Brahma tells him that Ganges River Goddess will come to Earth as the Ganges River and bring the sons back to life if he prays to Shiva. Praying to the Sun God/knowledge/power can lead to Shiva/the flow/oneness. The reason why Sagaras' sons were killed in the first place was Indra stole their horse and they thought the sage stole the horse and threw rocks at him, but the Sage Kapil killed them with fire when they blamed him for stealing the horse and threw rocks at him. Again we see the rivalry between Sun God/Surya and Indra/Storm God that we see in the Mahabarata with Karna/Sun God, and Arjuna/Indra.
So we see the connection between Himalaya Mountaim/Himavan, Ganges River Goddess/baptism/ Shiva/flow, Paravati/Truth/Ganga's sister and Shiva's wife. Himavana's brother Jambavan/bear God's daughter marries Krishna/Vishnu, showing that Krishna/Vishnu is connected to all of this. Vishnu and Shiva are one. But Shiva is the flow that is open to sinners- for instance sinners can get baptism in the Ganges- the Ganges is on Shiva's head. And sinners who want power and knowledge and worship the Sun God can attain Shiva/the flow. There is no formula to the flow.
But in the Mahabarata it is Shiva/Ashwatthama Bhisma/Ganges River Goddess, and Karna/Sun God who are the Kauravas v Arjuna/Indra, and Yudhisthira/God of Death, and Bhima/wind God, and Nakula/Medicine God, Sahadeva/medicine God, and Ahimanyu/Moon God. Ultimately the Kauravas and the Pandavas are related. Ganga and Arjuna and Karna, and Indra and all of the demigods are related.
But the war between the demigods ultimately points to that experience based ego thinking represented by the demigods ought to be transcended to Shiva/Ashwatthama who survives the battle and /Krishna/Vishnu/the flow.
Himavat/Himalaya's Father is Brahma/Creator God, and Brahma fights on the side of the Kauravas in the form of Drona and Kripa. Drona/Brahma gets his head cut off. Brahma/Drona represents experience based ego thinking, and he getting his head cut off show the importance of transcending the ego to Krishna/Vishnu/the flow and Shiva/Ashwatthama/the flow. Shiva and Vishnu are one.
It’s actually beneficial that Shivas followers fights the demigods because it curbs their arrogance and points to the transendence of experience based thinking to Vishnu/Shiva/the flow
Shukracharya/Lucifer/Venus Star God hates the demigods like Indra/Storm God, and Vayu/Wind God. Shukracharya is the guru to the demons- he is lucifer and he is associated with the Morning Star Venus/Lucifer. Shukracharya/Lucifer/Venus hates Vishnu/Flow/all pervasiveness.
Shukracharya/Venus/Lucifer was one of Bhisma/Ganga River Goddesses teachers/gurus. The demons think that Ganga river Goddess is on their side but she is not. Even when Bhisma/Ganga river Goddess fights with the Kauravas/demons agains the Pandavas/demigods Arjuna/Indra/Storm God, Bhisma refuses to kill the Pandavas/demigods.
Shukarcharya/Venus/morning star/lucifer likes Shiva/the flow, but he does not understand Shiva. Shukarcharya does not realize that Shiva/Vishu are one. Shukarcharya/lucifer/Venus is all about power. Shukarcharya/lucifer teaches Virochana/ the demon who was Prahlad/Joys son and a worshipper of Vishnu/ the flow, to not worship Vishnu/ the flow but to try to gain power and to take his wife by force by abducting her.
Shukarcharya/lucifer does not think that Vishnu/flow is real. He thinks thats Vishnu/flow is a phony. Shukarcharya/lucifer likes Shiva/the flow, but he does not understand Shiva. Shukarcharya likes it when "Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha, the demigod". Shukarcharya likes the destruction of the demigods because he sees them as phony. He does not realize that Shiva cutting off Daksha's head was not "against Vishnu/the flow" but was metaphorical. Daksha's daughters represent spiritual qualities- they are "faith" and "modesty" and "celebrity" and "forgiveness". Shiva cuts off Dakshas head, but puts a rams head on him, to remind him that the flow/Shiva/Vishnu is pirmary, and forgiveness, and celebirty, and modesty emerge from the flow. But Shukarcharya does not recognize this and he just likes kthe idea of Shiva cutting demigods heads off because Shukarcharya/lucifer likes violence.
Shukarcharya/lucifer likes it when Shiva kills Kama/God of love- but he does not realize that Shiva killing Kama was a metaphor of Shiva killing love that is associated with lust/sex/the passions. Shukarcharya just likes the idea of Shiva killing demigods. He does not realize that Shiva and Vishnu are really one- they are both the flow.
So Shukarcharya/Venus/lucifer is the guru of Bhisma/Ganga river Goddess and he wants Bhisma and the Kauravaas to kill the Pandavas/demigods/Arjuna/Storm God and Krishna/Vishnu. Shukarcharya does not realizing that the demigods battling each other and the "humbling" of the demigods like Arjuna/Indra and Bhima/wInd God is a beneficial thing. The demigods represent experience based dualsitsic ego software towards Krishna/Vishnu/Shiva/Ashwatthama/ the flow. Shiva and Vishnu and Shiva are one but Shukarcharya/Venus/Lucifer does not realize that. There is a purpose behind the humbling of the demigods by their war with each other- to show that demigods/dualsitic ego software ought to be transcended toward the flow/Shiva/Vishnu.
Ganesha/the God of Wisdom and Shiva's son writes the Mahabarata by transcribing what Vyasa/Vishnu/the flow tells to him.
Similalry Shiva cuts off Ganesha's head. Shukarcharya/lucifer would like the idea of Shiva/the flow cutting off Ganesha'wisdoms head, because Shukarcharya/lucifer likes violence/separation thinking/dualsitic ego consciousness. But Shiva cutting off Ganeshas head was a metaphor that Shiva/the flow is primary, and wisdom/Ganesha emerges from the flow/Shiva. Vyasa/Vishnu tells Ganesha/wisdom to write the Mahabata and the other Hindu scriptures like the Puranas and the Upanishads. The Mahabarata was written with wisdom/Ganesha which emerged from the flow/oneness consicousness/ transcendent consciousness transcending the ego/Shiva/Vishnu.
Shiva allows the demons to punish the demigods- because the demigods think they are in the flow/Vishnu, but a lot of times it is just a show- they pretend to be modest but it is really arrogance. For instance, Indra/Storm God accepts a garland of flowers but he gives the garland to his elephant to try to seem modest. But the elephant realizes "Indra is showing off trying to pretend to be modest but his modesty is really arrogance". Indra's humility really is arrogance- he's not really in the flow/Vishnu. As a result Indra and the demigods are taken over by the demons who worship Shiva (although they do not understand Shiva- that Shiva is the flow). The war between the demigods and the demons is the war between limited forces like Storm Gods and Sun Gods and River Gods and stuff like that. This is experience based ego thinking. Indra/the intellect and conservative modesty is fighting against Surya/Sun God/power/knowledge Demons and the demigods fight- but transcending all of it is the flow/Vishnu/Shiva.
Shukracharya/Venus/Lucifer does not believe that Vishnu/ the flow is real- and he is right- many people like Indra pretend to be "righteous" but they are really ego driven. Shukracharya/lucifer recognizes that many people act "religious" and "modest" but they really do so in order to gain power and for ego motivations and manipulaitons. Shukracharya/lucifer/Venus is jaded, and as a result thinks that power and violence is the answer- he does not believe in the higher domain/Vishnu/the flow- that there really is a transcendent domain that transcends the ego/ transcends dualsitic ego consciosuenss. Shukracharya/Venus ends up getting his eye poked out by Vishnu in the form of Vamuna the dwarf, and that is why Shukracharya has one eye- like Satan/lucifer is supposed to only have one eye. Shukracharya goes to war with Vishnu/the flow and the demigods who are Vishnus followers (although a lot of the times they do not do a good job in following Vishnu because they can't get over their egos) But Vishnu/the flow always prevails.
Shukracharya/lucifer/Venus is like Makiavelli. Makiavelli was right. Makiavelli said the Church and Religon is "just ego driven and a way for people to try to gain power." He thought the "religious leaders just parade around in their religious attire to gain power and manipulate people- or so that they can feel powerful even if they do not have power- they can feel like they will go to heaven and thus feel powerful/ego driven". That is true. The Christian Church and the Muslim Church and Hindu Church and most Churches are used by people with limited ego software. And these people just play power/ego games. Because a lot of these Churches run based on the principle of "saving the self for an afterlife" which is ego driven to begin with- as opposed to transcending the self to the flow/Vishnu, which is what Jesus really truly taught. But Makiavelli and Shukracharya/lucifer do not recognize that the flow/Vishnu is real, and they think that everything is just ego manipulation games. They are right, throughout history most people have operated in dualstiic ego consciousness, and they suffered the consequences of it. But the flow/Vishnu is real.
Rukmini is the Goddess of Wealth/Laxmi Avatar. Rukmini/Laxmi goes to Shishupal. Shishupal is not in the flow. Shishupal hates Krishna/Vishnu/the flow. Krishna/Vishnu/the flow had heled Shishupal when he was younger, when Shishupal had four arms and three eyes, Krishna/the flow gave him two eyes and two arms. Shishupal wanted to be special probably/have four arms- he did not want to be healed/the flow. He wanted attention to be on his ego body. He did not want to transcend the ego self. Some people can like being handicapped, because it can call attention to themselves and give them "excuses"- probably the case of Shishupal.
Shishupal takes Rukmini/Laxmi/Goddess of Wealth to marry him. However Krishna/Vishnu kills Shishupal after Shishupal offends Krishna over one hundred times. Krishna/Vishnu had made a promise to Shishupal's mother that he would not kill Shishupal unless he offended him with offences worthy of death over 100 times.
Shishupal was not in the flow. When you are not in the flow, you can take wealth/Laxmi/Rukmini, but it will not stay with you. Ego problems will destroy Rukmini/wealth. Rukmini/wealth goes to Krishna/Vishnu. Krishna/Vishnu/the flow marries Rukmini/wealth. In the flow there is prosperity.
In the case of Shishupal- the flow is very forgiving. Somebody can get out of the flow but he can get back into the flow. But there are consequences to living outside of the flow/Vishnu/Krishna, which is why Vishnu/Krishna cuts Shishupal's head off. If you do not live in the flow/Krishna/Vishnu/oneness/inspiration/insight/inquriy, the consequences are often destruction.
Similarly, in the Bible Jael kills the evil tyrant Sisera by putting a tent peg through his temple. The killing o fthe tyrant Sisera is celebrated by the Prophetess Deborah. But Rabbis point out that even though the killing of the tyrant is to be celebrated, there is also supposed to be compassion for Sisera because even Sisera had a Mother who was sad for her son being killed. Therefore, there is a ritual that is done to show that it is beneficial to have compassion for Sisera, so you do not have predator prey ego software- because liking the killing of somebody is predator prey ego software.
When Krishna kills people it is metaphorical of him liberating them from their egos- not actually killing them. The head is where somebody thinks/ego calculations. Cutting off somebody's head is metaphorical of releasing somebody from his thoughts- which is the flow.
But the point of the story of Rukmini in the Mahabarata is that Rukmini/Wealth/prosperity goes to the flow/Vishnu/Krishna.
Shishupal takes wealth/Rukmini but he loses it and it goes back to the flow/Vishnu.
Curious George is constantly in inquiry. He is constantly expanding his consciosuness and exploring. He gets himself into trouble, but that is beneficial. At least he is expanding beyond his ego proteciton. At the end of the first curious George, Curious George holds onto a baloon and flys. Flying is metaphorical of being in the flow. Curious George gives baloons to other animals in the zoo. He shares his boon. They all get in the flow.
There is a Japanese story about a man who wanted to gain his teachers forgiveness. He goes to his teacher for forgiveness and he kills two men who wanted to kill his teacher. The teacher tells him that he should not have killed the two men. The teacher tells him that if he goes on a journey to retrieve a sword he will be forgiven. The man wants to take the money on the people he killed. The money represents strategies- ego strategies. The Teacher tells the man he must leave with nothing- in the flow.
There is another Japanese story about a girl who was abandoned by her parents and goes to look for her parents. She finds her Mom and the Mom knows that if she discovers that she is the girls Mother, then she will be killed as well as the child. The punishment for abandoning a child was to kill the parents, but to kill the child as well.
This is metaphorical. The child wanted a "special relatonship" with her "special mother". But there is no special mother. As the Rama chant says "Ram is my Mother Ram is my Father". Jesus says "those who do the will of my Father/the flow are my Brothers and Sisters and Mother and Father". The Mother loves the child and the child enjoys the love of the Mother, even though she does not realize it is her Mother. This love she is experiencing is true love- love that is not familial but a love of oneness- transcending the ego self. The Mother refuses to tell the chid she is her Mother. This is beneficial- preventing the illusion of a special relationship. In a special relationship- there is an illuison of separation- that this one person is your family and nobody or nothing else. In love there is no thing- there is no separation- you and no thing exists.
I'm the first person to discover this stuff that I know of.
Bhima is the son of the wind God in the Mahabarata. Bhima/Wind God/Vayu is very powerful and kills demons such as Bhakasur. The Hindu scriptures say that Vayu/wind God is the Aum, like Shiva and Vishnu is the Aum. Aum is the supreme God- the fourfold sound.
The reason why Vayu/wind is looked on so high is wind is not physical- but it is ephemeral. Physical existence is an illusion. The Pandavas/Arjuna/storm God fight Karna/Sun God. The sun is physical. The Sun is physical but it is also non physical- energy. Abhimanyu/son of Moon God/Moon God is killed in the battle. The moon is physical but it is also non physical light. But regardless they have a physical/limited aspect to them.
Vayu/Bhima/wind God is extremely powerful. The wind/breath during meditation helps one to get in the flow. Yognanda says that "God is the time in between breathing in and breathing out and breathing out and breathing in." That time of breathing is the time of no thing- there is no air or anything. Breathing automatic. There is no effort involved. Breathing is like the flow.
Vayu/wind God is the spiritual Father of Hanuman. Hanuman is Shiva/flow. The breath/Vayu/ephemerality/non physicality is related to the flow. Physical existence is an illusion. The idea that there are separate physical things is an illusion. Everything is one and there is no thing. According to my Grandpa and the Vedanta school everything is energy, or consciousness, which is apophatic/non physical. Nithyananda says that Shiva/Vishnu is energy/non physical. This is why Vayu/Wind God is so highly exalted. Although even so, Vayu/Wind God gets into trouble and he is poisoned and he even has a child with a demon. Still Krishna/Vishnu and Shiva/Ashwatthama is supreme- because although Vayu seems non physical/seems like the flow- still wind is physical and is limited- it is more of a metaphor of the flow. It is true that Wind God/Vayu is the Aum- everything is the Aum/fourfold sound. I think Bhima/Vayu having a child with a demon represents that the flow/Bhima Vayu can subdue even demonic forced.
Goddesses tend to be related to the Earth or wealth/physicality- which is why in Hindu culture their worship is not seen as the highest worship. If you worship Vishnu/Krishna/ the flow/inquiry you automatically gain the favor of Laxmi/Goddess/wealth.
Even Shiva has the connotation of being more physical/Earth bound than Vishnu/Krishna. But still somebody can have dualsitic consciousness/physical separation consciousess and attain the flow/Shiva. Shiva is the flow that even sinners can attain- through death and rebirth/Ganga River Goddess baptism. Ganga river Goddess is related to Shiva- in his hair.
Agni/Draupadi/Fire God is on the side of the Pandavas- Arjuna/Storm God/Indra, and Bhima/Wind God/Vayu. Agni/Fire/Draupadi/ is a woman and thus more physical, but at the same time fire is ephemeral and non physical.
Bhisma/Ganga river Goddess Son/Ganga river Goddess fights on the side of the Kauravas/demons, but he really likes the Pandavas and wants to fight for them. Rivers are water, and water is both physical and non physical- it is kind of a mix between physical and non physical.
In the same manner, the Mother of the demigods, Aditti, is a sky Goddess/nonphysical, whereas the Mother of hte demons is an Earth Goddess/physical. Aditi is a Goddess of the sky/consciousness, which is non physical. Aditi means "infinite"- therefore she is like Krishna/Vishnu. Diti is an Earth Goddess/physical/interpersonal/separation consciousness. Aditti and Diti are sisters and both married to sage Kashyapu/Kashyapu means turtle.
The demons worship Shiva- Shiva has more of a connotation of being physical, although he is one with Vishnu. Shiva is the flow that is even available to sinners like demons. Somebody can be very interpersonal and ego driven but still attain the flow/Shiva/Vishnu. The demigods worship Vishnu/the flow/non physical. But the demigods are still arrogant and not completely in the flow. Indra/storm God seems nonphysical and Bhima/Wind God seems non physical and infinite like Vishnu/Krishna- but they are limited and slightly physical. For instance, Arjuna/Indra thinks that he is righteous for not wanting to go to war, but Krishna reveals to him that he is not really "righteous" but he just does not want to go to war because of his ego- he is attached to people on the Kaurava side like his teacher Drona/Brahma, and Bhisma/Ganga river Goddess, his Uncle. Indra/Arjuna still has attachments and is not open to pure inspiration/intution/Krishna/Vishnu. Arjuna/ndra/storm God thinks he worships Vishnu and thinks he is modest/humble, but he is still filled with ego- not completely open to inspiration/intuition. Arjuna/Indra has "memorized" the scriptures of "what it looks like to be righteous"- he is not in the flow but is following a formula. He thinks that "righteous people do not go to war" and thinks he will "get a better afterlife if he does not go to war"- he is not in the flow/inspiration- but he has memorized a script/formula/strategy for the ego salvation of his self. So Krishna/Vishnu/flow/inspiraiton/intution tells him to go to war- to let go of his ego strategies for salvation. Arjuna wants to save the self- not realizing there is no self to save.
Indra/Arjuna/storm God seems transcendent. The storm and clouds are in the sky- they seem nonphysical- the sky SEEMS limitless transcendent- Indra Arjuna SEEMS to be the flow. The Storm God/Arjuna/Indra seems ultra powerful. But Indra/Arjuna is not the flow/Vishnu/Shiva.
When Karna/Sun God wants to marry Draupadi/fire God by stringing the bow, Sun God/Karna is able to do it. The Sun is physical but it is also energy/transcendent. But Draupadi said she cannot "marry the son of a charioteer". The Sun God rides a chariot. Karna/Sun God is the son of a charioteer. Darupadi/Fire God/fire is used during the night, whereas the Sun lights up the day. This is why Draupadi does not marry Karna/Sun God/Karuava, but marries the Pandavas/Indra/storm God, and Yuddhisthir/God of Death (when somebody dies they are put on a funeral pyre/Agni/fire God for cremation)- God of Death also means death of the ego which is related to the burning of fire/burning away of desires, and Bhima/Wind God- wind blows fire.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daksha
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mula_(nakshatra)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatabhisha
The stars in the sky like Betelgeuse in Hindu mythology are demigods and they are married to the moon God Chandra. Some of them are related to materialism and “evil things” and related to Venus/lucifer/morning star
For instance, Mula is a wife of Chandra/moon God. She corresponds to stars in the Sagitarrius constellation. The Lord of Mula is Ketu. Ketu is the dragon that eclipses the moon- He is a demon who tries to kill Prahlada/joy/worshiper of Vishnu/the flow (joy is connected to the flow)
Dhruva/the North pole star, was a worshipper of Vishnu who became the North Pole star
Shatabhisha is another wife of Chandra/moon God and she corresponds to a star in Aquarius constellation
I’m the first person to discover all of this that I know of
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushan
Pushan is the God of meeting/marriages. When Daksha does not invite Shiva to his banquet, and after Daksha’s daughter Sati/truth kills herself, Shiva kicks out Pushan’s teeth. Pushan was invited to the banquet and wanted to exclude Shiva/the flow.
Shukracharya/venus/lucifer/morning star would like this because it seems violent/predator prey ally enemy dualistic ego software.
But it is metaphorical. Shiva is the flow/oneness/Vishnu. Benficial meetings/marriages occur as a result of the flow/Shiva. But Pushan/meetings/marriages wanted to exlude Shiva/the flow. Shiva kicking out his teeth is metaphorical of the importance of putting the flow/Shiva/Vishnu/inquiry/self transcendence/self expansion first, becauas then meetings/marriages/Pushan would be successful and beneficial.
If the marriage is self indulgence (the self is an illusion) then it is not beneficial. But if it is mutual participation based on mutual respect (Shiva) where each partner helps in the leveraging of assets and expansion of awareness and inquiry- then it is beneficial. If the marriage is based on the ego, like the desire to have many children due to a genetic Darwinian mindset where you think that makes you superior/superior inferioe ego software- then that limited narrow conscsiousness would lead to problems- for instance then the man might cheat to have more children, or the woman would cheat to have children with sexier men so she can have sexier children- her desire to be superior/superior inferior dualsitic ego software. The marriage is beneficial in that it can help the husband and the wife to expand beyond themsevles. Maybe in the raising of the children they can raise the children in the flow and add to the antientropic reordering fucntion and harmony of existnece. But if the marriage is not built around Shiva/the flow first- or if meetings are not built around Shiva/the flow then it is not as beneficial.
In Shiva/oneness/ the flow ultimately there is no "meeting between separate individuals" but the consciousness of separation disappears.
Arjuna/Indra is married to Subhadra/Yogmaya/illusion. Yogmaya is illusion, but Yogmaya/illusion is the sister of Krishna/the flow. Arjuna/Indra/Storm God is not the flow but he seems to be the flow. Storm God is powerful and ephemeral/non material. Arjuna/Indra seems to be the flow, thus he is married to Subhadra/Yogmaya/illusion. But Yogmaya/Subhadra/Illusion is not bad. Yogmaya/illusion is the sister of Krishna/the flow. Yogmaya/illusion is the illusion that there are separate phyiscal material things- that you exist as a serpate material self- when as my Grandpa says everything is one flowing energy event- or the Vedantists say everything is consciousness, and there is no thing. But before one is strong enough to be in the flow/ strengthening within yogmaya/dualsitic ego consciousness can be a strengthening exercise to help prepare one for the Truth/Vishnu/Krishna. If there was no Yogmaya then people might become schizophrenic- if they saw the Truth of Reality before they were prepared, without Yogmaya/illusion concealing it, then they would become overwhelmed and probably freak out. They couldn't handle it. Subhadra/Yogmaya/illuison is a helpful protective enclosure to protect a person from the Truth which would be too much for them to bear if they were not prepared- if she/Yogmaya didn't exist to help them to strengthen until they are ready to see the Truth/the flow.
I liken it to somebody taking lsd or dmt some drug that "shows them the Truth/Krishna/Vishnu". They are broken free of "Yogmaya/illusion" and they see the Truth. But if somebody is not prepared for that, and they have not matured adequately within Yogmaya/illuison, they come out of their "transcendent experience" much worst off. They may still be engrained in dualstic ego software, and becaue they never matured, now they are going on about "how the world is flat" and getting on everybody's nerves, and they become schizophrenic. Yogmaya/illusion/Subhadra is helpful and beneficial.
Buddha in the parable of the burning house describes that Buddhism, and the different schools of Buddhism are really just lies- they are really just illusions. But they lead to the Truth/Buddha/Krishna. People go into the schools of Buddhism and are told lies/formulas and they are told that they can save the self (when there really is no self)- these are lies/Maya- but the lies help people to get into the Buddhist school that ultimately helps the person to transcend the school to the Truth/Buddha/Krishna/the flow. The same with Christainity, and Judaism, Isam, Scientism, and Hinduism, and every religion.
Somebody might first become a Buddhist for ego motivations/to seek Nirvana/superior infeiror ego software. And the Buddhist school tells people the lie that they can attain Nirvana if they follow the precepts and rules and so on. But it is all lies/maya. But at least the lies help the person to ultimately attain the Truth/Krishna/Buddha.
Yogmaya/Subhadra/illusion is very powerful, and people become captivated with her and they think they are real and they think they figured it out- "the world is based on genetic darwinism"- "the world is based on an alien conspiracy" "Bahai is the Truth"- so on so fourth. Yogmaya is extremely powerful and does a great job helping you to believe in your delusions and helping you to believe that you exist and you are real- your beliefs and delusions are your way of getting excited and thinking you are real- self confirmatory indulgence. Yogmaya/illusion is a protective enclosure- if somebody does not respect Yogmaya/illusion and tries to escpape her too quickly before they are mature enough- through drugs or whatever, they end up schizophrenic.
Worshipping Arjuna/Indra is worshipping his wife Subhadra/Yogmaya. People who worship Arjuna/Indra tend to want to protect and promote their ego selves- they worship Arjuna for rain/ for self proteciton and promotion. But the ego self is an illusion. At the same time though, if you discard the ego self before you are mature enough ready, and you thus do not respect Yogmaya Subhadra/Indra Arjuna, then you end up schizophrenic. Schizophrenia is an extreme unhealthy form of Yogamaya where you lose all freedom and become obsessed within an extremely narrow worldview where you are extremely concerned with protection and promotion of the ego self to the point where you ironically put the ego self in danger and lose all freedom to break out of your dualsitic ego software. Such a state is the opposite of Krishna/Vishnu/the flow/inspiration/intuition because you become extremely imprisned within the ego self and cannot be open to inspiration.
I'm the first person that I know of to have discovered all of this.
Jarasandh was two halves of a human glued together to make one. He reprsented dualsitic ego software. He was very "pious and religious". He was kind to Brahmins. But at the same time he was going to sacrifice 86 kings so that he could become a world Emporer. His religiosity was ego driven. Bhima splits him in half and defeats him. Bhima is wind/the breath/Vayu and through meditation one can transcend dualsitic ego software.
Similarly Bali liked to "give a lot" to the poor. But he did it as a way to show off. When Vishnu in the form of the dwarf Vamuna came to him Vishnu asked for "three steps of land". Bali liked to give extravagantly and thought that only giving three steps of land was "not extravagant enough". His giving was a show- it was really ego driven. He granted the three steps to Bali however, after Vamuna poked out Shukacharya/lucifer/Venus's eye, and Bali took the whole world and on the third step stepped on Bali and liberated him. Bali broke free of dualistic ego software.
Krishna heals Shishupal when Shishipal, with his four arms and three eyes, is put on Krishnas lap. But Shishupal ends up hating Krishna. Krishna/Vishnu is the flow. The flow heals/breaks free of delusion and deformities/ the four arms and three eyes. Shishupul however hates Krishna/the flow because he wants to be special and does not want to admit that the he does not exist and there is only the flow/Vishnu/Krishna. So Krishna/Vishnu cuts off his head. Cutting off Shishupuls head is metaphorical of breaking Shishupul free of his ego thoughts. Krishna/Vishnu says that when he cut off Shishupuls head it was an act of mercy- a sort of Nirvana for Shishupul. The cutting off of Shishupuls head was metaphorical of him breaking free of ego thoughts/the head, to the flow/eternal life/Krishna/Vishnu.
This can happen, where somebody does excellent, but he does not acknowledge that it was Vishnu/Krishna that caused the excellence. That was Shishupul's healing. So he wants to believe that it was "he who healed himself"- that there is no flow. He becomes absorbed in the ego and keeps fighting against the flow- trying to make things happen himself. Until he gets his head cut off/returns to Vishnu/Krishna/the flow.
Krishna says that when he cuts off Shishupal's head he "released him from rebirth". Release from rebirth is the flow. The flow is eternal/timeless/ release from time and space and the illusion of the separate ego self that can be born/oneness.
Before cutting off his head Krishna gives Shishupal 100 chances/offenses. People try and try and try to make things happen themselves/Shishupul keeps trying to make things happen himself/ offending Krishna/Vishnu/the flow. But "you cannot get there from here, but only he who refuses to accept that will discover there is here". Shishupal finally "discovers there is here" after trying to make things happen over and over again- and gets in the flow/Vishnu/Krishna/ has his head cut off/ is released from thinking/ego calculations to intuition/inspiration.
I remember a long time ago listening to a Hindu teacher talk about a hindu scripture that said "the son is the Father and the Father is the son". In 2013 I was the first person to point out that the story of Jesus in the New Testament was an exact parallel to the story of the Tetragrammaton in the Old Testament, but in the New Testament it was an exodus from Rome and not Egypt.
I was also the first person that I know of to recognize that the Mahabarata is an allegory of the forces of nature, where Arjun represents the storm, his Father, Karna represents the sun, his Father, Draupadi represents the fire, her Father, and so on and so forth. In the case of Bhisma he is Ganga- his Mother.
In my opinion basketball is a form of meditation/Bhisma/Wind God. Also rap is a form of meditation/Bhisma- if the rap is poetic and expands of consciousenss and is not preachy or ego oriented. Playing an hour of serious basketball is as effective as meditation for an hour sitting down with legs crossed in my opinion. The breath work/Bhisma involved in playing basketball is as effective as sitting down with legs crossed.
Some people think that to meditate/Bhisma/wind God you need to sit with your legs crossed. But lifting weights and playing basketball games or running or swimming or any of this is Bhisma/wind God and can be a practice in self expansion/Krishna/Vishnu and transcending of desires/Draupadi/Fire God to the flow/inspiration/intuition/Krishna/Vishnu.
Muhammad BPBUH says that if you are an archer it is not beneficial to stop archery. Archery is a form of meditation/a commitment and disciplined practice/ Bhisma/wind God/meditation breath work. When I heard that Muhammad BPBUH said this in 2014 when I studied him, I realized that he was referring about me playing basketball and the rap music. Sadly however I became injured and other stuff.
When I say meditation/Bhisma/Wind God I am not just speaking about sitting with legs crossed, but I am referring to basketball and other thigns.
Drona and Kripa side are avatars of Brahma/creator God in the Mahabarata. Creator God is not worshipped very much because Brahma/creator God is seen as arrogant due to creating/not in the flow/Vishnu/Krishna. Also physical creation is an illusion- there is no physical separate things. Creator God/Brahma thinks that he is special and that Vishnu/Flow is not supreme in the creation story of Hindus. Vishnu fights with Brahma saying that he, Vishnu created Brahma, but Shiva quiets both of their dualistic superior inferior ego sotware by letting them know that he, Shiva is the AUM. Vishnu and Brahma can't even reach the end of Shiva's infinite light, breaking them both out of dualistic ego software to the flow.
Drona/Brahma and Kripa/Brahma fight with the Kauravas against the Pandavas/Arjuna/Indra/Storm God, and Bhima/Wind God during the Kurukestra war. Although Drona/Brahma and Kripa/Brahma really want the Pandavas Indra/Arjuna, and Bhima/Wind God to be victorious.
Similarly Brahma gives demons boons if they worship him. But the boons often backfire on the demons thorughout the Hindu scriptures. Drona/Brahma gets his head cut off. Shiva in Hindu scriptures cuts off Brahmas fifth head due to lust. Cutting off the head of Brahma/Drona is metaphorical of the transcendence of experience based ego software dualistic separation software/ the illusion that there are separate physical things, to the flow/Shiva/Ashwatthama/Vishnu/Krishna.
Brahma/Drona/Kripa is also the Father of Ganga/Ganges river Goddess/Bhisma. Bhisma/Ganga river Goddess fights with Brahma/Drona/Kripa against the Pandavas, but Bhisma also wants the Pandavas to win really.. Ganga river Goddess is connected with Shiva (she is in Shivas hair)- Shiva and Ganga give mercy to sinners- sinners/ demons can receive baptism in Ganga river Goddess and have a rebirth/the flow/transcendence of ego self.
My Grandpa said that there is no separate physical things, that everything is one flowing energy event. Vedantists say that there is no physical things, everything is consciousness.
Regardless in the Kurukestra war all of the sons and daughters of the demigods are humbled and Krishna/Vishnu/the flow is supreme and Ashwatthama/Shiva/the flow. Vishnu and Shiva are one, but Shiva is the flow that even the wicked can attain.
Even though Arjun/indra/Storm God and Bhima/Wind God and Aswins Sahadev and Nakul/Gods of Dawn/light seem non physical, they are still physical. They point to the Truth that there is no thing, but they are still limited and physical. Their being physical of course is an illusion but they are very close to non physicality within the illusiona nd thus they point to the flow. but Vishnu/Shiva are the flow/supreme, so all of hte demigods children are humbled in the Kurukestra war showing hte supremacy of Vishnu/Krishna/the flow and Shiva/Ashwatthama (who fought with the Kauravas)/the flow.
The Ghandarvas were going to kill Duryodhan/ego but Bhima/Wind God and Arjun/Storm God/ Indra save Duryodhan ego because he is "their brother". Bhima/wind God/breath/meditation and Arjuna/intellect/Storm God are transcendent but they still are connected with the ego. The ego is necessary and that is why they keep Duryodhan alive- even though he is their enemy. The ego is not bad- the ego/Duryodhan is "magnifiecnet in its accomplishments but limited in its reach". The flow/inspiraiotn/Krishna/Vishnu is trancendng the ego/Duryodhan to a higher level. Although ultimately with the help of Krishna/Vishnu/the flow, Duryodhan is killed.
You cannot kill Duryodhan/the ego until you are ready/prepare/ strong enough- or else you become schizophrenic.
Duryodhana/ego at one point is going to commit suicide because he felt shame that his enemy Pandava brothers had saved him, but Karna/Sun God/knowlege/power saves him and stops him. Duryodhana/ego and Karna/Sun God/knowledge/power are very connected. The sun is metaphorical of the flow but the sun seems very physical and limited- it is not infinite and no thingness like Krishna/Vishnu/all pervasiveness/oneness.
Karna/Sun God hates Arjuna/Storm God clouds- The sun hates the clouds. Arjuna/indra/Storm God is modest- but there is an arrogance to his modesty- it is not the flow- Karna/Sun God is more arrogant outright and does not hide his arrogance like Arjuna/Indra does.
It is not accurate to call Duryodhana/dualsitic ego consciousenss/delusion bad, but there are consequences to dualsitic ego consciousness that are harmful and difficult to break free of.

the woman is on an antipsychotic medication. Thats why she keeps doing that thing with her lips. Antipsychotics give people motor problems due to brain damage like tardive dyskinesia. And its not an “uncommon side effect”. Most people on the medications get the problems after using them
for just a few months. They get problems where their fingers move uncontrollably and catatonia from the medications (amazingly a lot of people think that “crazy” people just due these weird motor things- no its from brain damage from the medications) She has brain damage from the medicine that causes her to move beyond her control. Sadly those medicines hurt people more than they help. Now she has not only physical disabilities compounded to her mental issues but she has serious brain damage due to those drugs. A lot of people think that “crazy people” do things like shuffle their feet and move back and forth in weird motions catatonia and stuff. But most of that is actually just “side effects” from the medication. Pretty incredible thats the case, but most of the “weird things” crazy people due is actually caused by the medicines that are supposed to make them not weird apparently allegedly but I don’t thnk thats the case
The lady has mental problems no doubt about it. But now due to the antipsychotic medication she’s going to walk around with motor issues the rest of her life and I don’t think that can possibly help somebody balance mentally. Imagine not being able to control your face and puckering your lips without your control- and that happens to a large number of people on antipsychotics. Moreover the medication causes weight gain which brings diabetes and its really intense. I don’t want to call it medication. I think a more apt name is poison and it causes the people tremendous pain when they are forced to take it. The motor problems also go along with physical pain, yes these people experience extreme pain. The medicine damages their brains and bodies
We know there are people who are “out of control” and who “get on others nerves”. But the medicines do not help these people. They just give them brain damage and make them more docile so long as they are in their bodies blocking brain receptors and causing irreperable damage
The question is then “what is society to do with the dysfunctional members- the outcasts” the ones getting on others nerves. Medicine I don’t think helps but causes more harm than good. I think that education camps where people would work and be given healthy diets and exercise and work- yes tbey would be forced to work. But this is a more effective alrernative I think than medicine. The work would help to strengthen them and take their minds off of themselves and it would actually make them healthier and more strong and feel as though they are being productive. I think it is criminal to give people poison. These people on these antipsychotics live about 40 years less than normal people- yes the doctors know this and I don’t think they care- I think society wants these people killed. Also these medicines give people sexual dysfunction. And yes the doctors know this and I don’t think they care- society doesn’t want “outcasts” to reproduce. In my opinipm the medicine causes extreme harm. But working and education camps where the people would be given good vitamins and minerals (yes a lot of these people go crazy because they are vitamin and mineral deficient and don’t have healthy diets) and given work and education.
Now doctors give antipsychotics because they are not allowed to use straight nackets for the most part and the medicines are chemical straight jackets becauae they are essentially lobotomies that make the patient docile becauae they are destroying the patients frontal lobes. I think that it is better to use straight jackets than to do this. And I don’t think that brain lobotomies or electroconvulsibe therapy is beneficial either
Back in the day to control patients doctors would do treatments like “spray them with hig powered hoses”. Now they are not allowed to do this. Ironically back in the day patients actually would “get better”. Now they don’t because all they are given is brain damage by the medicines. I honestly think that it would be more beneficial to allow doctors to use water hoses if they need them, or other such methods with unruly people. This is far more effective and beneficial for the patient than giving them brain damage through medication- and ask any doctor they will agree they cannot deny it- All the medicines are really known to do is damage the brains/shrink the brains of the patients and you see the effects of the damage when these patients develop these irreversible motor control problems like this woman has with her lips. I would rather be sprayed with a hose any day. But people are very ignornt and they think “spray with a hose thata barbaric give them medicine that sounds nice and cozy”- the medicine they give the people gives them torturous pain and irreversible damage. I would rather be sprayed with a high powered water hose seriously
But honestly a big problem is all the “rules” that are given to doctors so they won’t be sued. Doctors are afraid to do what they think will help because they can be sued. So they play it safe and overmedicate becuae they know they can’t be sued. They can be sued if they don’t medicate but if they overmedicate they won’t be sued because they were “helping”. Back in the day doctors could be creative with their treatments but now they can’t because if they do anything outside the box they will get sued.
What would surprise a lot of people is that treatments like water spraying therapies actually healed people because a lot of “mental illness” is “malingering”/faking it and immaturity. Some people act crazy for attention or social services or other reasons. And people who are acting crazy will stop when they get sprayed. But medicine does not heal anybody because it causes chemical imbalances in the brain that are irreversible and in the case of antipsychotics serious and true brain damage
When I say that a large number of cases of “mental illness” are malingering/faking it thats not me being mean. Actually ask any paychiatrist and he would agree 100 percebt with that statement. Its a fact. Szasz went so far as to say close to 100 percent is malingering. But any psychiatrist will say that most cases are malingering/faking it. Which is why the medicine approach which does nothing but cause brain damage and chemical imbalances in the brain is not effective
If somebody is going on and on anout how the earth is flat, antipsychotics will give him brain damage and make him docile but he will need to continuously take them to keep him docile. Yes when he is in extreme pain due to the antipsychotics he will stop talking about flat earth. But a water hose also gets him to stop talking about the flat earth and the hose does bot give brain damage
I'm the first person to discover this stuff that I know of.
In the Mahabarata, Duryodhan is the ego. He is the enemy. Dushashana is his brother. Dushashana means "atrocious ruler". The ego/Duryodhan, makes a very bad ruler/Dushashana.
Shukini, Duryodhan's uncle, encourages Duryodhan to cheat the Pandava brothers- Indra Storm God/Arjuna, Bhima/Wind God, and the other three brothers, in a game of dice. Duryodhan takes Draupadi/Fire God, the Pandava's wife, as a sex slave.
Draupadi/Fire God represents the kundalini energy according to Yoganandda. Fire is the kundalini energy. Dushashana tries to disrobe Draupadi/Fire God in the assembly so that she can be humiliated and even raped. Krishna however miraculously prevents Darupadi from being dishonored by makeing her robe so it cannot be taken off. Bhima/Wind God stands and makes a vow that he will drink the blood from Dushashan's chest, and Draupadi/Fire God vows that she will wash her hair with the blood of Dushashan.
Bhima/wind God represents the breath/spirit. With the breath in meditation you can control the Kundalini/Fire God/Draupadi. However Dushashana/Bad ruler, does not have any control of Kundalini/sex drive/Draupadi/ego.
When Bhima kills Dushashan in the kurukestra war and drinks his blood, this is metaphorical. t is metaphorical of hte idea that with meditation with the breath/Wind God/Bhima, you can overcome the ego/bad ruler. Draupadi/fire God washing her hair with Dushashans blood with the help of Bhima/wind God is metaphorical of the idea that with the help of breath/meditation, one can overcome the ego and control the Kundalini/Fire God/sex drive/passions/desires/urges.
A lot of people might say "wow the Hindu scriptures are extraordinarily violent and primitive- what kind of barbaric scriptures are these". But they would not get the point. These stories are metaphorical and they point to higher Truths, as I just illustrated.
Karna/Sun God calls Draupadi/Fire God a "whore" and wants Duryodhana/ego to rape her. Karna/Sun God is power/knowledge. If power/knowledge is not controlled, than the ego can run wild and the passions/desires/kundalin/Fire God/Draupadi can become a slave to the ego/Duryodhana.
The reason why Duryodhana wants to rape Draupadi/Fire God, is because Draupadi/Fire God laughed at him because he could not distinguish truth from illusion like he was blind, and he went into a home of Maya and fell into water that he thought was solid. The ego is blind. And without meditation/Bhima/Wind God the ego/Duryodhana can get out of control and take captive Draupadi/Fire God/desires/kundalini/passions. However with meditation with the breath/Bhima/Wind God, Dushashan/bad ruler (the prodcut of ego Duryodhana) can be overcome, represented when he drinks Dushashan's blood from his chest.
Duryodhan's mother tells Duryodhan after he attempted to molest Draupadi that "she should have killed him when he was born"- that Vidur had said that he should be killed at birth. But the thing is Duryodhan/the ego is actually helpful in the development of a person. One has to have a steady/sturdy/strong ego in order to transcend the ego. Ultimately the ego/Duryodhan is transcended during the Kurekestra warrior when Bhima/breath/meditation cuts open his chest and drins his blood and Draupadi bathes her hair in his blood, representing the transcendence of desires/Draupadi/Fire God to the flow- to inspiration/intuition/Krishna/Vishnu.
In my opinion basketball is a form of meditation/Bhisma/Wind God. Also rap is a form of meditation/Bhisma- if the rap is poetic and expands of consciousenss and is not preachy or ego oriented. Playing an hour of serious basketball is as effective as meditation for an hour sitting down with legs crossed in my opinion. The breath work/Bhisma involved in playing basketball is as effective as sitting down with legs crossed.
What is important to understand is that it is important that Duryodhana/ego is not killed right off the bat. Duryodhana/ego leads to innovation- to evolution. Ego is not "bad". To say ego is bad is dualistic good guy v bad guy software. Ego is not "bad", it is just limited in its reach. Ego/Duryodhana can get you far, but Duryodhana/ego can also get you in trouble. The flow/Krishna/Vishnu/inspiration/intuition is the next level. Its important to realize that the Pandava's Arjuna/Storm God and Bhima/wind God are stepbrothers to Duryodhana/ego. Arjuna is self protection/intellect but he is still ego driven even though he acts humble. Krishna/the flow/Vishnu is inspiration/intuition which transcends the ego.

Why is Kali/Time/ego REPRESENTED as a woman? In the flow/Krishna/Christ there is no male or female. Paul says "in Christ there is no male or female". In the flow you transcend all ego identtieis and thus you transcned the thinking that is shaped by the ego identity, and you are open to inspiration and intuition..
But Kali is REPRESENTED as a woman because the woman "bears children". When a woman bears a child- this confirms the illusion of the ego body. The woman's stomach becomes big and she becomes attached to the child. As a result, a woman is more related to matter/the physical/separation consciousness. Mattter and Mother come from the same root. Matter is the physical plane, which according to Vedantists is an illusion- there is no thing- everthing is one energy event or consciousness and separation is an illusion. The woman might want special relationships to protect her and the child. In the flow there is oneness, but if you want a special relationship then you create a separation between yourself and other relationships- also the special relationship is based on self protection. Relationships are beneficial if they are based on "mutual participation"/ inquiry/ transcendence of the self. For instance, a relationship is beneficial if the participants participate with each other in sports or activities or research and development and leveraging of assets. But if the relationship is based around things like self indulgence/sex/ego and sense gratification, then it is not as beneficial, because it confirms the seperate ego self/Kali/time, which is an illusion.
In the flow/Krishna/Vishnu you are one with everything- there is no separation- there is no you.
This is why Kali might be represented as a woman. Regardless, Kali/ego/time is not something to be hated- that is dualsitic ego software. Kali/time/ego/interpersonal dualstiic consciousness is a protective enclosure- it helps to strengthen somebody until they are ready to transcend to the flow/transperosnal/Krishna/Vishnu.
Regardless, Kali's avatar in the Mahabarata is Duryhodana, a man. Ego/Time/separation dualstic software is not "male or female"- anybody male or female can operate under dualsitic ego sfotware. Time implies space and time and space imply separatin and separate things- but this is an illusion. It's important to mention that Duryodhana's avatar is male so that somebody who identifies as "female" does not feel "special" for being a "victim" and having "prejudice against her". Feeling like a victim can be a form of self indulgence and is focus on the ego self. It is true that there are people who look down upon women (or look up upon women the same thing)- but this is not because they are "sexist"- there is no such thing as sexism- this is just duasltiic ego software and not the flow/Krishna/Vishnu/Shiva/Durvasa. There is also no such thing as "racism". There is just dualistic ego software and its consequences. Not everybody is "equal"- that is dualstiic ego software superior inferior equal consciousness where you are still focused on the ego self and you want everybody to be equal. Some people are expert basketball players others are not- some are experts at math and others are not- the flow is not "everybody is equal" the flow is trancendence of hte ego self to the higher harmony where you achieve your highest potential that is beyond anything that your ego self could conjure. Everybody and everything is one/ there is not thing- but not everybody is equal. To say everybody is equal itself is duasltic ego software because it assumes there are separate people but they are equal.
Bhima/Wind God kills Kali/Duryodhana/ego/time. The reason why wind God kills ego/Time/Duryodhana is because the breath/wind in meditation/meditating or any ritual practice, helps one to lose his ego self and transcend to oneness/the flow/inspiration/Krishna/Vishnu.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durga
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamunda
Durga is a Goddess of war. Chamunda is a Goddess of war and pestilence and disease. They are aspects of Paravati- Shiva's wife. She is Durga/kali/Time/Power/ego. Time is separation ego dualistic software.
Shiva's wife Parvati gives birth to Kartikeya. Kartikeya is the God of war.
I was the first person to recognize this that I know of, but the Hindu scriptures metaphorically show that wisdom is greater than war, when Shiva gives a contest to Ganesha/wisdom, and Kartikeya/war, and Ganesha/wisdom wins. Kartikeya is thus sent far away from Shiva and Ganesha/wisdom lives close to Shiva/the flow. This contest was a metaphor that Wisdom/Ganesha is closer to the flow than Kartikeya/war. Although still, people can get in the flow/lose themselves in war, and there is no formulas in the flow/inspiration/intuition. Any formula comes from the ego.
Regardless, war is still an important part of reality. There is no time in human history when there was not war. So Durga/Goddess of war and Kartikeya/God of war are acknowleged.
However, Shiva/the flow is still represented as supreme to Chamunda/war and pestilence. Chamunda is assigned the task of eliminating demons-demons represent the ego by Shiva. But Chamunda gets carried away and she is about to destroy the whole world. This is metaphorical of the idea that war is out of control. War can sometimes emerge as a necessary concession to people not being in the flow and duasltiic ego software, so it is acknowledged, but Shiva/the flow is supreme. Shiva steps in Chamunda's path and prevents her from destroying the whole world.
The consequence of not being in the flow/inspiration/intuition/Shiva/Vishnu is pestilence and war. Pestilence and war in that sense is not a bad thing, because the pain and suffering involved in Chamunda/pestilence and war can wake people up to Shiva/Flow. There are consequnces to not being in the flow/Shiva/Vishnu- Chamunda cuts off your head/ breaks you free of your dualsitic ego software, and wears the head as a garland.
Chamunda also represents the vice of tale telling/gossiping. When people gossip they often try to make themsevels superior and put others down- which is self confirmatory behavior.
In the Mahabarata Sage Durvasa/Shiva is sent by Duryhodana/Kali/ego to the Pandavas, Arjuna/Indra/intellect/Rain God/conservative force and Sahadeva and Nakul/Dawn Gods/ intelligence/light/medicine. If Durvasa/Shiva does not get good alms, then he curses the people do not give him alms. Ajuna/Rain God and Nakul and Sahadev/Twilight Gods/intelligence only haeve on grain of rice. But Krishna/the flow comes and Draupadi/Fire God/energy/kundalini/passions/desires gives a grain ofrice to Krishna/the flow and Krishna/the flow eats it and makes Durvasa full so that he will not curse them. Krishna/Vishnu/Durvasa/Shiva are the flow/inspiraiton/ituiton/transcendence of the ego. The Pandavas let go of tring to make it happen and release to Krishna/Shiva and they are saved. As Jesus says "with man it is not possible, but with Tetragrammaton/the flow/inspriaotn/intution- all things are posssiible". This is about transcending hte ego self to inspriaotn/ittuiton/Krishna/Vishnu, and salvation coming throught that. If they stayed in sense based, experience based ego software, they would have been destroyed, but they transcended conventional thinking to the flow/Krishna/Vishnu and were taken out of an impossible situation and were saved. There was really no self to save.
Bhima/wind God then tries to lift the tail of Hanuman/Shiva- walk by Hanuman but he cannot even lift the tale. Hanuman/Shiva chants the name of Ram/Vishnu. Shiva and Vishnu are the flow. Bhisma is the breath/ritual disciplines like basketball or meditation. he is the wind, a part of nature/representing expeirence based thinking/the ego. Shiva is the flow. Bhisma cannot even lift the tale of Hanuman/Shiva, again showing that Hanuman/Shiva/the flow is supreme.

Duryodanah is an avatar of Kali. Kali is the Goddess of Time and Power. Duryodanah/Kali is the ego. Time implies space and separation. Time is an illusion. But Duryodanah/Kali/time are beneficial in that, before one is prepared to transcend the illusion of time/ego, it is important to have a steady and stable ego structure, or the person is overwhelmed or becomes schizophrenic.
Duryodanah/Kali/Time/ego fights Arjuna/Indra/Storm God and the Pandavas. Kali/ego/Duryodanah fights with Ashwatthama/Shiva/the flow. Shiva/the flow is mercy and salvation even for "sinners", and Shiva humbles the demigods Arjuna/Indra, and Bhima/Wind God/Vayu. The humbling of them ultimately points to the supremacy of Shva/Vishnu/Krishna/the flow who are one.
Kali/Duryodanah/time is ultimately killed in the Kurukestra war. The killing of Duryodanah/Kali/ego represents the transcendence of the ego to oneness/thef flow. But Duryodanah/Kali/time could not be killed "right off the bat", because kali/ego/ time is important and even helpful- "the ego is magnificent in its accomplishments but limited in its reach". Bhima/Wind God and Arjuna/Storm God had opportunities to kill Duryodanah but they did not because he is "their brother". Arjuna/intellect/storm god and Bhima/breath/Wind are also a part of ego time, they are related, although they have a quality of seeming more transcendent since wind is less physical, as well as storms which are made of nonphysical clouds.
The flow/inspiration/intuition is transcendence of the ego and time/Kali to timelessness/eternal life.
Shakuni, who is Duryodhana's uncle and spurs Duryodhana on to fight the Pandavas/demigods is the avatar of the Dvapara Yuga. The Dvapara Yuga is a Yuga based on competitiveenss. Competitiveess is not the flow. Competitiveness is based on superior infeiror ego thinking- where you are focused on the ego self being superior or inferior. "The ego is magnificent in its accomplishments, but limited in its reach". Superior inferior ego software can get you far, but ultimately it can hurt you. For instance, somebody who is just ofcused on his ego self and being superior might help his team beat the other team, but he will also hurt his team because he might want to score the most points to pad his stats and he might as a result not be in the flow and do what is most appropriate for his team to excel. The flow is excelling and reaching ones highest potential- while connected to the higher harmony/divine. When I was considred one of the best players in the nation, I was not even aware of myself- I did things I had no idea I was doing- it was not me doing it- it was the flow.
Rukmi is an avatar of Aruna/charioteer of the Sun God Surya. Rukmi is arrogant like Sun God. Sun God/charioteer of Sun God is knowledge and power- which can bring the flow, but also lead to illusion. Krishna/the flow likes Rukmi, but Rukmi does not fight with the Pandavas or the Kauravas. Rukmi's sister Rukmini/Laxmi/Goddess of wealth marries Krishna/the flow. The flow/Krishna/Vishnu brings wealth. Rukmi/Sun God wants to keep wealth for himself/Rukmini, but Krishna abducts her and shaves Rukmi's head. Balarama/Shesha/Vishnu kills Rukmi because he cheated Balarama/Shesha/Vishnu/the flow in a game of dice. Balarama/Vishnu/flow killing Rukmi is metaphorical of the flow being greater than ego/knowledge/power/Sun God. The Sun is physical and limited and the flow is transcendent and infinite and beyond words. But Aruna is light/illumination. Aruna's step brothers were Naga's/snakes/the ego related to Earth and physicality. Aruna's brother was Garuda, the vehicle of Vishnu who ate snakes. Light/Aruna can destroy the ego. Light is not physical like snakes, but is transcendent and nonphysical. This is why Krishna/Vishnu/the flow likes Rukmi/Aruna even though he had to humble him by shaving his head. Light/knowledge is important, and can be helpful, but Vishnu/Krishna/the flow is supreme.
Aruna represents the morning light when it breaks free of darkness of the night. The Ashwins/Nakula and Sahadev who fight with Arjuna/Indra are the sons of the Ashwins, who represent the twilight light- death and resurrection from night to morning.
The sage Durvasa is an avatar of Shiva. Durvasa gets angry and curses people. But Durvasa blesses Karna/Sun God when he is a child. Karna/Sun God is necessary to humble Arjuna/Indra/Storm God and Bhima/Vayu/Wind God and show the supremacy of Shiva/Durvasa/Krishna/Vishnu/the flow. Durvasa/Shiva curses those who are not generous, but blesses those who are generous. Being generous represents being outside of the ego body self to the flow/Shiva/Durvasa/inspiration.

People say that “mental illness got Delante West”. But I studied his case
I posted an article on this a long time ago. I'm not sure where it is now but I had the article on an old page I made that is hidden now.
But according to the article "Delante was doing fine in the NBA". But he talked to a psychiatrist and the psychiatrist thought he had bipolar disorder because he was "spending all his money on cars and stuff". But Delante West was no different from most NBA players. Yes he was more religious and funny, he was brought up in hard conditions and was made fun of for having orange hair
But the doctor put him on "seroquel" an antipsychotic.
THERE IS NO WAY that an NBA player shouldb e given an antipsychotic. An NBA player cannot funciton on a TRANQUILIZER that gives brain damage
THAT WAS WHEN THINGS STARTED GOING DOWNHILL FAST. AFTER starting to take seroquel- that was when his gun charge happened. He was put on seroquel and that was the first time he got in trouble. He had guns and was moving them on his medicine and he claimed that the medicine made him feel weird so the cops pulled him over and he got in trouble.
The doctor continued to keep him on antipyshcotics and THAT WAS WHEN all the crazy stuff started happening for Delante West. I think it was because the drugs started giving him brain damage. THat was when he did the finger thing in the guys ear, and when the Lebron James thing happened and all of that AFTER HE WAS PUT ON MEDICINE. Before the medicine NOTHING BAD HAPPENED FOR HIM- HE WAS DIONG FINE BEFOR THE MEDICINE- He just spent a lot of his money on cars and stuff AND BECAUSE THE NBA has bought into the idea that psychiatry and medication is beneficial- Delante West talked to a doctor and the doctor suggested that Seroquel would help him because he thought the money spending might have been due to bipolar. But MOST NBA PLAYERS SPEND THEIR MONEY LIKE CRAZY. But it was AFTER that that the bad things happend for Delante and it was after startign to take the medicaiton taht things went downhill
It is IMPOSSIBLE for somebody to playin the NBA on Seroquel. That is a tranqulizer that gives brain damage it literally shrinks your brain. That was why AFTER strating to take the medicaiton, a few years later West was out of the League and on the streets. The psychiatric medicaiton screwed up his brain.
I'm going to try to find the article but I doubt I'll find it. My friend Noah remebers I posted it on a page I have hidden now a few years ago. But thats what the writer of the article talked about. The writer of the article (and it was a prestigious sports article) was of the opinon that the reason West was out of the NBA was because as he said "a trigger happy psychiatrist gave an NBA player an antipsychotic and that screwed him up- how can you give an NBA player an antipsychotic and expect him to function".

Here’s an article that talks about how “mental illness” isn’t what screwed up Wests head. The medicine did. The medicine damages the brains and causes people to act crazy. Now West has serious chemical imbalances. He was an nba star and the doctor who gane him the seroquel made a huge mistake because that was when West fell apart
I posted all this stuff years ago. West went downhill because of the medicine. Now he does have a chemical imbalance in his brain because of it. But he would not have been pulled over had he not been on seroquel. And all the “bad stuff” started happening for him after he took the medicine and was “diagnosed” where people started looking down on him
https://slate.com/…/delonte-west-he-was-branded-as-crazy-an…
I think that if West was never given antipsychotics by the doctor he’d still be in the nba. I know many people who say “they heard voices after given the drugs by the doctor” Szasz says that everybody hears voices that is their “thoughts in their head” but members of society who are outcasts are told by doctors that thwir voices are “different” and implanted with the ifea they hear voices. Many people are impressionable. Here is the article. A doctor tells somebody “I think you have so and so mental illness” the person starts acting it out. Then the doctor gives the person medication that actually ironically gives the symptoms of that illness
“West was diagnosed as bipolar by a D.C.-area specialist. He says that when he saw the doctor, he’d been feeling down, having days when he was sad and tired and didn’t want to get out of bed. But he told the specialist that there were also times when he “might just go out and buy a car. Or go to the mall and spend 25 grand.” West doesn’t think the doctor took into consideration that such behavior might not be unusual for a professional athlete with a big paycheck. He now thinks that he was suffering a temporary bout of depression, not exhibiting symptoms of a chronic disorder.
With the driveway crowded by his cousins’ cars, West got on his motorcycle so he could bring the guns to another residence. Earlier in the evening, he’d taken Seroquel, which is often prescribed for bipolar disorder. Seroquel makes you drowsy, and as he headed out on the highway, he found that he was dozing in and out. After he felt himself drifting off, West was pulled over for making an unsafe lane change, and he told the officer that he was carrying weapons. The day after the arrest, a police spokesman said that West was “very cooperative the entire time.”
“I Don’t Think That I Am Bipolar”
Those jokes started with his arrest in 2009, which changed West’s image from that of a scrappy player with a big personality to a gun-toting desperado. But West’s account of that night is much less dramatic than how the event came to be depicted.
It was the offseason, and a few of West’s cousins had come over to his house with their children. West’s mother was looking after the kids while he slept and the other adults went out. At some point in the evening, West’s mother woke him up. She said the kids had gotten into a closet in his small, in-home music studio, where he stored guns that he had bought, legally, in Cleveland. He needed to do something about those weapons, she told him.

After he felt himself drifting off, West was pulled over for making an unsafe lane change, and he told the officer that he was carrying weapons. The day after the arrest, a police spokesman said that West was “very cooperative the entire time.”
West has said all this before. It was the explanation his lawyer offered to the state of Maryland, and it echoes what a friend of his told a reporter two months before his case was settled. At the sentencing hearing, the state’s attorney explained to the judge that, in reaching a plea agreement with West, he took into account “his mother’s statement that he was moving the weapons from one residence to the other,” as well as West’s lack of any adult criminal record. (It’s legal in Maryland to transport guns between residences, but there are rules about how one may do so.) West pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors—unlawfully carrying a dangerous concealed weapon and unlawfully carrying a handgun—and he was sentenced to house arrest, unsupervised probation, counseling, and community service. For all the Internet attention to the shotgun, there were no charges related to that weapon: West was fully within his legal rights to carry it. West also claims that he wasn’t holding the shotgun in a guitar case—that it was more like a duffle bag.
Given the way West’s motorcycle ride has been depicted—it’s a scene right out of El Mariachi; he’s “clearly a disturbed person”—this is a relatively unremarkable series of events. He was not violent. He did not require any medical attention. There does not seem to be any evidence that he was suffering from a mental health crisis.
When the NBA got back to business, he signed another one-year deal, this time with Dallas. Lawyers’ fees stemming from both the arrest and his divorce had depleted what was left in West’s bank account. He had already bought homes for himself, his mother, and his father. He had put his sister through college and bought her a car, among other acts of family-oriented largesse. (He’ll “borrow a dollar just to give you a dollar,” says his brother, Dmitri.) When he got to Dallas, he had trouble finding an apartment he could afford, and he was spending some nights in his truck, parked in the arena’s garage. One night, he says, he Googled himself on his phone after a good game and got upset when he found a story that brought up his arrest. Frustrated, he wrote a series of angry tweets, saying that he was sleeping in his car because he’d been treated shabbily by the media—that he’d gone from starting on a team that won more than 60 games to being “a desperado” making the league minimum, and now people wouldn’t rent him a place to live because of “shit they read on the internet.” The tweets devolved into angry profanity targeting a particular journalist. He later deleted the posts and apologized.
A night of frustrated tweeting will reflect poorly on any prominent public figure. When, like West, you have a mental health diagnosis, it becomes an “episode.” A writer at Deadspin concluded that West’s inability to go with his team to the White House—the Mavericks had won the championship the season before—“triggered something in Delonte (who suffers from bipolar disorder),” and that this had prompted the Twitter rant. Later in the season, West stuck his finger angrily in Utah forward Gordon Hayward’s ear. This, too, went on the “crazy Delonte” ledger—or the “crazy Delonte” slideshow, perhaps, like the one published by Complex in 2010, which listed his arrest and the Gloria James rumor alongside funny ads and colorful interviews he’d done. This is what happens when the Internet decides you’re crazy. See also the 2013 listicle from the Daily Beast devoted to Metta World Peace’s “7 Craziest Moments,” from the time that World Peace (who then went by Ron Artest) fought fans in the stands to the time he thanked his psychologist after winning a championship. West and World Peace are both on the Business Insider list of “The 20 Craziest Players in the NBA”—“the league is filled with more ‘crazy people’ than any other sport,” the author claims—along with 18 other men (including J.R. Smith, JaVale McGee, and Matt Barnes) who at one point said or did something unusual.
In the beginning, West embraced his diagnosis. He had set up a foundation when he got to the NBA, and he decided that helping bipolar young people would be part of its mission. He spoke openly about the condition, his work with an NBA-appointed psychiatrist, and his continued relationship with Dr. Eppright in Cleveland. After the league fined him for putting his finger in Hayward’s ear, calling it “a physical taunt,” West spoke of experiencing “a trigger point that took me from one extreme of happiness to more of a depressed state.”
He now says that he always doubted that he was really bipolar but that he wanted to serve as a role model and turn the diagnosis into something positive. In his view, the stress surrounding his divorce and his arrest reversed the maturation process he’d started in Boston. He fell back on older habits, keeping things to himself and balling up his feelings. “Being a little older now, and looking back, you see things would have been a little different if I just told them what was really bothering me: ‘I don’t think that I am bipolar. That medicine that you’re giving me, I don’t need that. This is what’s bothering me. This is why I’m upset. This is why I cry at nighttime.’ But I didn’t know how to say that.”
West doesn’t say so, but I wonder if the straightforwardness of the diagnosis held the same appeal for him as it did for sports writers. Articles about sports and mental health tend to traffic in a familiar narrative, one in which an athlete struggles in silence with a disorder, then gathers the courage to speak up about it. In the end, we all learn to become more sensitive to those who struggle with a condition that most of us do not have. There can be a lot truth in those stories, and they can serve a valuable purpose. But they can also reinforce the idea that only those with a specific illness need help or support.
Speaking with West on the phone last fall, I mentioned that an increasing number of teams were bringing in psychologists and psychiatrists to work with players. “I guess everybody crazy now, huh?” he quipped. “Maybe I’m not the only one then. Maybe there’s something to that.” Then he turned more serious. “Maybe it’s not a ‘crazy’ thing. Maybe it’s just a highly intense, stressful type of job that puts a lot of pressure on guys to perform and play.” Then there’s the stress that pro sports can put on families and the various outside pressures that athletes deal with. “Guys need somebody to talk to,” West says
Sports writers are very familiar with tidy narratives: wins and losses, good guys and bad guys. West’s story is more complicated than that. It seems clear that he can still play at an NBA level, and to my untrained eye, he appears to be doing well both personally and emotionally. It also seems obvious that cruel media coverage has hampered West’s career—that the constant mentions of and questions about his diagnosis and his arrest could make some front offices less inclined to sign him to a contract.
what people dont realize is people are forced to take these medications and after less than a month of taking them they get brain damage irreversible motor control damage inability to sit still, retrograde ejaculation where they cannot ejaculate, and men “grow breasts” and diabetese - yes you grow breasts taking them less than a month

“Antipsychotic drugs, including both older and newer ones, cause shrinkage (atrophy) of the brain in many human brain scan studies and in animal autopsy studies. The newer atypicals especially cause a well-documented metabolic syndrome including elevated blood sugar, diabetes, increased cholesterol, obesity and hypertension. They also produce dangerous cardiac arrhythmias and unexplained sudden death, and they significantly reduce longevity. In addition, they cause all the problems of the older drugs, such as Thorazine and Haldol, including tardive dyskinesia, a largely permanent and sometimes disabling and painful movement disorder caused by brain damage and biochemical disruptions.
Risperdal in particular but others as well cause potentially permanent breast enlargement in young boys and girls. The overall risk of harmful long-term effects from antipsychotic drugs exceeds the capacity of this review. Withdrawal from antipsychotic drugs can cause overwhelming emotional and neurological suffering, as well as psychosis in both children and adults, making complete cessation at times very difficult or impossible.
Despite their enormous risks, the newer antipsychotic drugs are now frequently used off-label to treat anything from anxiety and depression to insomnia and behavior problems in children. Two older antipsychotic drugs, Reglan and Compazine, are used for gastrointestinal problems, and despite small or short-term dosing, they too can cause problems, including tardive dyskinesia.
https://breggin.com/brain-disabling-treatments-in-psychiat…/
“Antipsychotic’ drugs such as Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel and Geodon are used literally to chemically lobotomize millions of adults and children because the resulting apathy and indifference are seen as an improvement over their previously distressed and distressing state of mind or behavior. Millions more adults take ‘tranquilizers’ like Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin and Valium, suppressing their overall brain function in order to reduce feelings of anxiety. A large percentage of our nation’s children have their spontaneity reduced or even crushed by stimulant drugs such as Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall and Strattera, causing them to become more docile and more obsessively attentive to rote work.
“Despite all the propaganda, antidepressants such Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft and Cymbalta have no scientifically demonstrable effectiveness and are proven to cause suicidality, as well as violence and mania. They too ‘work’ by causing mental disabilities such as apathy and euphoria that are misinterpreted as improvements. Meanwhile, their continued widespread use is determined in part by the fact that withdrawal produces severe psychiatric symptoms, including anxiety and depression. In short, it is too difficult and painful for people to stop taking them.

antidepressants work no better than placebos he mentions at 3:50. I wrote a book about this years ago and put the research and its trur that actually it works worst because it really just harms the brain

No evidence for chemical imbalances
paychiatry is not “bad”. Just forced psychiatry is often dur tonpresator prey dualsotoc ego software. The people who are forced to take medicine often themselves havd dualaitic ego sotware and are not in the flow. People are not the problem. Dualistic ego software is the problem
To be against psychiatry is itself dualistic ego software right wrong dualistic ego software. If I am against psychiatry that means I am saying it is wrong. If a doctor is iperating not under dualistic predator prey ego software (the desire to make money or the desire to hurt people) and is truly operating under intuition ad inspiration, it is possible he can have the insight to use a medicinal treatmebt to help somebody. However a problem is a lot of doctors are not enlightened beings and they do not operate under intuition and inspiration and as a result negative effects happen.
Many of the people who make the drugs have predator prey dualistic ego softwarez Tbey are not “bad”. To say somebody is bad is dualistic good guy v bad guy software. It is not helpful to say that somebody is bad but it is helpful to see what software he operates under, whether it is mutal participation one ess intuitive or ego dualsitic impersonal or interpersonal or transpersonal or whatever
There is no formula. To say that “paychiatry is evil lets ban it” is an expression immature dualistic ego software right v wrong good v bad software. Psychiatry does a great job at what it does. But lets be honest anlut what it does. There are people in society who are annoying and out of control and dysfunctional. It is now illegal to put them in straight jackets or to beat them up or spray them with hoses or dunk them in cold water (treatments that I think actually are more effective than medication). Now the only way to control these people is to get them stuck on a drug that chemically lobotomizes their brains so they are easy to handle. THAT might be necessary. But lets just be honest and acknowledge that is whats happening. In intution and inspiration there is no formula. Sometimes torture can emerge from inspiration- probably mostly not- but in the flow there is no formula.
I’m not for or against anything. I’m not for or against torture- sometimes torture is what is the most beneficial thing. But I think that paychiatrists would be more effective if they were not forced to use drugs, which evidence shows cause more harm than benefit and if they were allowed to act under inspiration and intuition and use treatments like dunking “uncontrollable people” in cold water. That in my opinion is more humane and effectibe than lobotomizing people with chemicala and giving them the excruciating lain that goes with that. And not all of these people are out of control - you would be surprised these doctors torture people who are not out of control.
Maybe the psychiatric drugs are the best thing. Maybe its a fact of reality that it is most beneficial that some people are lobotomized through chemicals. There is no formula. Psychiatrists are not the problem. Software is always the problem

Yes right here Delonte West claims that he is the "leader of the navy seals". This is a "delusion of grandeur". West has a narrowing of his consciousenss and a fragile ego structure, which he compensates by trying to claim that he is "extra special/superior"/superior inferior dualistic ego software. By saying he is a navy seal he feels superior. He mentions Donald Trump. That might be to try to gain "sympathy" since he identifies as minority. He also may like Donald Trump because he also might identify as "White" being that he might have caucasian ancestry. Regardless he is still focused on the ego self and not in the flow. He is focused on the protection and promotion of his ego- he is not in the flow where you transcend the ego.
Yes Delante West is not in the flow now. He is in dualistic ego software. I think the fact he has brain damage from the antipyschotics he was given does not help him to gain any level of "freedom" from dualistic ego software to the flow/inspiraiton/intution.
Regardless, there has never been any evidence to show that "chemical imbalances" exist in the brain- the only time that has been shown was "after medication". And the medication basically gives a frontal lobotomy to the patient. So West right now has a shrunken brain/brain damage. Its difficult to gain insight and freedom from dualsitic ego software if you have brain damage.
Delante West's consciousness is narrowed and restricted to the protection and promotion of his ego body. That is why he is belligerant and claiming that he is "superior"/ Donald Trump/Navy Seal. Regardless of his inttentions or his attempts to manipulate/ego manipulations, what is clear is that he is trapped in ego thinking/making things happen/self protection and promotion which is getting him in trouble.
I would be willing to bet that if you gave me an hour to speak to Delante West, with the amount of insight I can give him on reality, he would be "tremendously healed". West grew up in the hood. In the hood you are raised with predator prey ego software, forced to focus on the ego self and its protection and promotion because its survival of the fit. Not only that, West experienced this even more because he was "bullied" for being "mix raced" (another byproduct of dualsitic predator prey ego sotware). He has been brought up in a predator prey environment, and without somebody to show you the effects of duaslticic ego software and alternatives and to explain to you with insights from the scriputre like I can do for Delante West, he is not going to experience any healing. I know about predator prey dualstic ego software because I expereinced it myself, and I know how to help people gain insight to their psychology and healing.
The problem is most likely all that is going to happen is people are going to give Delante West an antipyschotic. It is going to settle him down and he will be calm (what they call cured) because it is turning off dopamine receptors in his brain and giving his brain brain damage and making it shrink. He will maintain this calmness so long as the dopamine receptors are not functioning, because anyboyd will be calm when they don't have dopamine in their brains. But the problem is, at the end of the day, he is just going to end up with more brain damage and won't experience any cure or healing.
Psychiatrists admit they do not "cure the people"- they say "we cannot cure the people". They just make them managable. Antipsychotics make people managable in the same way that straight jackets and lobotomies and electroshock therapy back in the day made people managable. But in reality West will be worst off because all that is going to happen is people are going to label him a disease- which is going to make him focus on his ego body self even more and the protectin and promotion of his ego identity even more- which is the problem in the first place, and they are going to give him more brain damage.
I would be willing to bet big money if the doctor never gave him the seroquel that day when things went downhill for him, he'd still be in the NBA making millions of dollars.

cross on his neck at 1:50 and says Allh arabic
When going to the Kurukestra war, Duryodhana/Kali/Time/ego wants a large army/attachments/self protection/self promotion, whereas Arjuna wants Krishna/the Flow/Vishnu, as his charioteer. As a result, Arjuna/Indra/rain God wins the war. Arjuna/rain God has inspriationa and intuition/Krishna/ Vishnu on his side.
Similarly Bhima cuts off the hair of Jayadratha/Victoriious chariot when Jayadratha tries to steal Draupadi/desire/kundalini/Fire God daughter/Fire God/energy/passion.
Hair represents the ego- peoples egos identities are often shaped by their hair. That is why warriors find it very humiliating to have their hair cut off.
People have roles to play in society. The warrior role is ego driven. But the ego/Kali/Duryodhana is not "bad". The ego is "magnificent in its accomplishments, but limited in its reach".
Bhima cutting of Jayadratha/Victorious chariots hair is metaphorical. Bhima/wind God represents the breath/meditation/ritual discipines. These ritual disciplines destroy attachments/Jayadratha/Victorious chariots/the ego. In the flow there is no attachment. If you are attached you cannot be open to Krishna/Vishnu/inspiration.
For instance, if I am in a basketball game and I am attached to "doing this move" or "this play" then I cannot be spontaneous and in the flow/Krishna/Vishnu/ outside myself.
Bhima however leaves five tufts of hair on Jayadratha/Victorious chariots head. The five tufts represent that Jayadratha was not completely transcended of his ego.
Buddhists shave their heads as a symbol of "transcending their ego identiteis. When you are transcended of your ego identity, you are open to the flow/Krishna/Vishnu. Hair styles represent a way of calling attention to the ego self, as opposed to the transcendence of the self.
However, it is not healthy to try to artificailly transcend the ego. Duryodhana/Kali/Time/Ego is not killed right off the bat in the Mahabarata even though Arjun/intellect/rain God and Bhima/Wind God had opportunities to kill him. Duryodhana/Kali/Time/Ego can help one to evolve and grow and become strong enough to ultimately transcend it (the ego Duryodhana/Kali/Time was always an illusion but the illusion is a protective enclosure- if somebody tries to transcend the ego before he is ready he goes schizophrenic/crazy/annoying0.
Just because a Buddhist shaves his head does not mean however that he has transcended his ego to Krishna/Vishnu/inspiration/flow. Humility an become a new ego identity- somebody can try to be superior through being inferior- which is still ego oriented. The flow/Krishna/Vishnu cannot be faked.
Duryodhana choses for the war chariots/Jaydartha/Victorious Chariot/ attachements/ego strategies for self protection and promotion- which ultimately just mire one down and get him in trouble. Arjuna/Indra/rain God/intellect is closer to transcendence- rain and clouds are barely physical and are more transcendent- although Arjuna does have ego and is related to Duryodhna/Kali/time/ego as he is his step brother. Arjuna/rain, and Bhima/wind do not exist without Kali/Duryodhana/Time. Arjuna choses Krisha/ flow/inspiration/secret place of the most high, and thus he is victorious.
It is not healthy to shave your head before you are ready. The Greeks fought for honor in the Trojan war. Honor/ego is healthy at a particular moment in ones history and evolution and ageing. But "the ego is magnificent in its accomplishments, but limited in its reach". The ego can get you very far, but if it is not trasncended to the flow/inspiration/intuition, it can cause more harm than benefit.
Chariots are phsyical/embodiments of matter, and thus represent separation dualistic ego thinking. When Yudhistihir/God of Deaths son/God of Death plays the game of dice with Shakuni/Competition, and Duryodhana/Time the dice game represented ego dualstiic consciousness, which got Yudhisthir/God of Death and Arjuna/God of rain and Bhima/wind God, in trouble. Ultimately it is Krishna/Vishnu/flow who is supreme and Shiva/Durvasa/flow who is supreme. Krishna/Vishnu and Shiva/Durvasa are one.
You cannot get there (to the flow) from here (the ego) but only those who refuse to accept that (put their heads against the wall and fight and fight and fight) will discover that there (the flow) is here (the ego/there was no ego to begin with- you just have to let go of are there)
I'm the first person to discover this stuff that I know of
In the Mahabarata Duryodhana/Kali/Time/ego and Karna/Sun God/knowledge/power are very connected. Karna/Sun God and Kali/Duryodhan/Time are best friends and fight against the Pandavaas/Arjuna/rain God, and Bhima/wind God. Time and the sun are very interlinked. Time is marked by the sun. The sun is very physical, or at least seems physical and finite, and according to Vedantists there is no physical thing- it is an illusion-everything is one energy event/or the Vednatists say consciousenss. Arjuna/rain God and Bhima/wind God are less physical, and thus less related to illusion. In the flow there is no thing= there is no separate thing, so there is no matter, and no time- because time requires separate things.
In the flow/Krishna/Vishnu/timelessness, there is no time, which is why Krishna/Vishnu/the flow has Karna/Sun/the marker of time, and Kali/ego/time killed.
When Duryodhana/Kali/time invites Krishna/Vishnu/flow to dine with it, Krishna says "you are not my host and you are not my friend". Krishna/Vishnu/all pervasivensss/oneness/ the flow is timelessness, so he is not the friend of Duryodhana/Time/Kali.
Even when Karna learns from Krishna that he is a brother of the Pandavas- Arjuna/rain God (who himself is limited even though seems transcendent andnot physical), and Bhima/wind God, and Sahadev and Nakul who are related to the Dawn/God of the Dawn/twilight, and Yuddhistur/God of death, still Karna will not leave his friend Duryodhana/Time/Kali, and to fight the Pandavas, although he will not kill them. Time/Kali/Duryodhana and the Sun/Karna are inextricably linked and inseperable. Ego/Duryodhana and knowledge and power/Karna.
Krishna/Vishnu/flow tells Karna/Sun God that by fighting with Duryodhana/Time/Kali he is fighting with "untruth". That is because Time/Kali/ego is an illusion.
Duryodhana/Time/ego/Kali tries to arrest Krishna/Vishnu/the flow in Duryodhana's court, but Krishna/Vishnu performs a miracle and cannot be imprisoned by Duryodhana/Time/Kali. That is because the flow is timelessness.
Parashuram was an avatar of Vishnu and he was Karna/Sun God's archery teacher. Parashuram similarly cursed Karna that "when heneeds it most, he will forget what he taught him- becausehe stole the knowledge". Parashuram/Vishnu is theflow. Karna "is a giver". The sun constantly gives light. The sun seems to be in the flow. But the sun is also finite and tied to time/Duryodhana/Kali, so is not the flow. Parashurama/Vishnu/the flow cursing Karna/Sun God is a metaphor of the flow being greater than knowledge/time/ego/Sun God/Karna.
Karna agrees to not kill any of the Pandavas except Arjuna/Storm God. There is tension between the sun and the storm, because storm clouds block out the sun. That is why Arjuna/storm God is close to Krishna/Vishnuthe flow. The storm blocks out appearances and time/ego/Karna/Sun God. But nonetheless,thestorm itself is finite and the flow/Krishna/Vishnu is supreme.
I'm the first person to discover all of this stuff that I know of.
Nakula and Sahadeva are sons of the "Gods of the Dawn/Ashwins". They are therefore related to Karna/the Sun. Karna/the Sun God refuses to kill Nakula and Sahadeva in battle. Nakula and Sahadeva are brothers to the Pandavas, but Kunti had given her boon to have sons with gods to Madri, and they were the children of Madri- thus they were stepbrothers.
Nakula and Sahadeva represent the dawn. The dawn is light and light is Truth and knowledge emerging from darkness. But at the same time, they are related to time/the Sun/Duryodhana/Kali. Their uncle Shalya, is the brother of Madri, and he fights with the Kaurava ary/Karna/Sun God and Duryodhana/Kali/time. Nakula and Sahadeva/God of the Dawn are ashamed that their uncle switched sides from the Pandavas (wind God and Rain God who are less physical and thus more related to the flow which is transcendent of separation consciousness/physical thing object consciousness) to the Kauravas- physicality/ego separation consciousenss. But Arjuna/Storm God reprimands them saying that they should not belittle themselves by saying they are step brothers. The light of the dawn is transcendent and less ego oriented/physical and thus a Pandava. Still though light/knowledge is not the flow/Krishna/Vishnu although it is metaphorical of it. Krishna/Vishnu/Durvasa/Shiva the flow ultimately is supreme.
Karna/Sun God does not fight the Ashwins/Gods of the Dawn claiming that he is "older" and superior to them and thus will not lower himself by battling with them. The Sun is more physical than the dawn. Physicality is representation of illusion because according to Vedantists, there is no physical thing but everything is one energy event or consciousesss. Thus Karna/Sun God represents more separation dualsitic ego consciousness. Regardless, Karna/Sun God is a step brother to the Ashwins/Gods of the Dawn/light. Light is transendent and points to the flow/Krishna/Vishnu. Light is nonphysical/apophatic/ non tangible- and thus it points to Krishna/Vishnu/the flow, but still the Dawn God/Ashwins/Nakul and Sahadeva are finite and somewhat physical- Krishna/the flow/oneness/infinite is ultimately portrayed as supreme. Nakul and Sahadeva and all of the Pandavas children are killed during the war, humbling them to show the supremacy of Krishna/the flow.
Satyaki in the Mahabarata is an avatar of the Maruts. Maruts are rain gods that work with Indra/Storm God to cut the clouds so the rain will fall. Satyaki/Marut/Rain Gods was a disciple of Arjuna/Indra/Storm God and he fights with the Pandavas/Arjuna/Storm God during hte war. Rain and storms are related and connected. The rain and storm clouds are transcendent and nonphsyical but they are somewhat physical. But they also block out the Sun/knowledge/appearances, which makes them transcendent. When it rains, vision blurs, and you can see that existence is an illusion- thus Maruts/Satyaki fights with Krishna/Vishnu/the flow and the Pandavas.
However rain is also physical, and thus points to separation dualsitic ego software- the idea that there are separate things and not all one. Krityavarma is another avatar of a Marut/Rain God but he fights with the Kauravas agains the Pandavas. Rain can both point to the flow/Krishna/oneness, but also point to Kali/Duryodhana/Time/separation/ego consciousenss.
Drupada is another avatar of a rain God/Marut and he fights with the Pandavas.
Rain Gods/Maruts can be both beneficial and harmful. Too much rain can bring floods. Too little rain can bring drought. But regardless, worshipping Maruts/Rain Gods is a form of self preoccupation/desire to protect and promote and preserve the ego self. But Vishnu/Krishna/inquiry/self expansion is transcendence of the ego self to the flow.

In Hinduism worship of the Sun and of the moon is rare, and if the sun or moon are worshipped, it is often understood that it is Shiva/Vishnu/the flow being worshipped through them. The same In Islam, where Allah/flow/oneness/transcendent gained supremacy over Moon God and Sun God and "demigods".
The Ramayana follows the "Solar Dynasty" in India. Ram is a descendant of the Solar dynasty (Sun worshippers). The solar dynasty descends from the Sun God. Ram/Vishnu/the flow worships the Sun, but a common theme is that Ram/Vishnu/the Flow is supreme over the Sun/knowledge/finite/limited. Sagar, one of the Rams/Vishnu ancestors, went from worshipping the Sun to worshipping Shiva. It is understood that Shiva is the sun and transcendent to the sun.
The Mahabarata follows the "Lunar Dynasty". The Pandavas are descendants of the Lunar dynasty- Moon worshippers. The Lunar dynasty descends from Budha/Mercury/ a son of Chandra/the moon. Krishna/the flow/Vishnu and everybody in the Mahabarata descend from the Lunar Dynasty. But ultimately the Mahabarata represents Vishnu/Krishna/Durvasha/Shiva as supreme.
We see the same theme in the Quran where worshippers of Allh/the flow are taking down worshippers of the Moon/inspiration (which comes from the flow)
In the Shiva Mahapuran, the Moon God bows to Shiva and the Moon God becomes a part of Shiva/the flow/Vishnus head. And Sagar worships the Sun but transcends the Sun to worshipping Shiva. We see the same movement from Sun and Moon worship/knowledge and insight/ to the flow/Vishnu/Oneness/Shiva/No thingness.
Here is from the Wikipedia article
"Some Islamic scholars argue that Muhammad's role was to restore the purified Abrahamic worship of Allah by emphasising his uniqueness and separation from his own creation, including phenomena such as the moon.[citation needed] The alleged miracle of the splitting of the moon shows that God is not the moon, but has power over it.[citation needed] Whether or not Hubal was even associated with the moon, both Muhammad and his enemies clearly identified Hubal and Allah as different gods, their supporters fighting on opposing sides in the Battle of Badr. Ibn Hisham notes that Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, leader of the defeated anti-Islamic army, called to Hubal for support to gain victory in their next battle:
When Abu Sufyan wanted to leave he went to the top of the mountain and shouted loudly saying, "You have done a fine work; victory in war goes by turns. Today in exchange for the day (of Badr). Show your superiority, Hubal", i.e. vindicate your religion. The apostle told ‘Umar to get up and answer him and say, Allah is most high and most glorious. We are not equal. Our dead are in paradise; your dead are in hell.[38]
The Sahih al-Bukhari, a written tradition from 9th-century compiler al-Bukhari, clearly differentiates between the worshippers of Allah, and the worshippers of Hubal, referring to the same event.
Abu Sufyan ascended a high place and said, "Is Muhammad present amongst the people?" The Prophet said, "Do not answer him." Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present among the people?" The Prophet said, "Do not answer him." Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Al-Khattab amongst the people?" He then added, "All these people have been killed, for, were they alive, they would have replied." On that, 'Umar could not help saying, "You are a liar, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept what will make you unhappy." Abu Sufyan said, "Superior may be Hubal!" On that the Prophet said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They asked, "What may we say?" He said, "Say: Allah is More Elevated and More Majestic!" Abu Sufyan said, "We have (the idol) al-‘Uzza, whereas you have no ‘Uzza!" The Prophet said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They said, "What may we say?" The Prophet said, "Say: Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." [39]
And among His signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon; do not make obeisance to the sun nor to the moon; and make obeisance to Allah Who created them, if Him it is that you serve.[49]"
The Buddha/Vishnu/the flow is another descendant of the Solar Dynasty in India.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahar_(god)
The Arabs also had God's of the Dawn and Dusk like the Ashwins of the Hindus. But in Hindu mythology, Krishna/Vishnu was portrayed as supreme, and in the Quran Allh is demonstrated by Muhammad as supreme over all of the "demigods" like Shahar/finite.
Dronacharya is an incarnation of Brahma and an avatar of Brihspati/Jupiter/the Guru of the Gods. Brihspati/Jupiter is finite, although Jupiter is bright and thus represents insight/wisdom.Jupiter/Brihspati is not seen as arrogant like Shukracharya/Venus/Lucifer/Guru of the demons. Brihspati/Jupiter is the teacher of the Pandavas and the Kauravas, but ultimately fights with the Karuavas out of duty although he really wants the Pandavas to win because Arjuna/Storm God is his favorite disciple. Jupiter/Brihspati's favorite disciple is Indra/Storm God in the heavens. Dronacharya is killed. He fights against the Pandavas who represent more transcendent nonphysical qualities - Bhima/wind, Arjuna/storm/clouds, Nakul and Sahadeva/Ashwins/dawn/light, and Yuddhisthra/Death/Truth. Dronacharya/Jupiter/Brahma's son was Ashwatthama who represents a Rudra/Shiva/follower of Shiva who is a part of Shiva. One of the Rudras is "ananda"- which means bliss. Shiva/the flow brings bliss.
Venus/Lucifer/Shukracharya is seen as arrogant because when Venus rises in the night sky it tries to rise higher than the sun. However Venus is bright but it is low in the sky/cast from heaven. Venus/Lucifer/Shukracharya becomes the Guru of the demons. Jupiter/Brihspati/Dronacharya is high in the heavens/the Guru of the gods.
When Dronacharya/Brihspati/Jupiter is killed in the battle, it again shows the supremacy of Krishna/the flow. Brihspati/Jupiter however is only killed because he is tricked to think that his son Ashwatthama/Rudra/Shiva was killed- even though Brihspati/Jupiter knew that was impossible- the trick was well done and Brihspati/Jupiter/Dronacharya fell and began to mourn and stopped fighting and was killed while he was crying over Ashwatthama's death/Shiva/the supreme/flow. However Ashwatthama was not really killed- the flow/Shiva cannot be killed.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_(morning_star)
“Venus the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon, outshining the planets Jupiter and Saturn but, while these rise high in the sky, Venus never does. This may lie behind myths about deities associated with the morning star proudly striving for the highest place among the gods and being cast down.[6]”

In the Mahabarata, Drona is a descendant of Brihspati/Juptier/Guru of the Gods, and is himself an avatar of Brihspati/Jupiter/Guru of the Gods.
It is interesting that in the Mahabarata, Abhimanyu/Budha/Mercury/God of the senses/science/intelligence is killed by Drona/Brihspati and Karna and the other Kauravas.
In Hindu mythology, Budha/Mercury is the illegitmate son of Chandra/Moon God/inspiration and Tara/The Goddess of Felicity/the ability to express ones thoughts, the wife of Brihspati/Jupiter. Tara means ability to express thoughts, and thus she is married to Brihspati/Jupiter/Guru of the Gods, who needs to express thoughts well. Felicity having sex with Chandra/moon God however represents that the Moon God/inspiration, and expression of thoughts go hand and hand as well.
In HIndu mythology Brihspati/Jupiter/Guru of the Gods goes to war with the Moon God/Chandra over his wifes extramarital affair with Chandra/Moon God, begetting Budhi/Mercury.
In the Mahabarata, Brihspati/Drona/Guru of the Pandavaas/Guru of the Gods, kills Abhimanyu with the help of Karna/Sun God. Karna is the son of the Sun God and thus represents the Sun God. The son is the Father. But Karna is also an avatar of Shani/Saturn/The God of Justice. Shani/Saturn is himself the son of Surya/the Sun God. The Father can be seen in the son. The Father is the Son.
Brahma/Creator God also helps Brishpati/Jupiter/Guru of the Gods fight Chandra/Moon God/inspiration for taking his Brihspati's Tara/felcity and having Budha/Mercury/intelligence. Similarly Kripa/Brahma helps to kill Abhimanyu/Budha/intelligence.
Mercurcy/Abhimanyu being killed represents that the senses/science/intelligence are not the flow/Krishan/the supreme.
What is interesting is that Drona/Jupiter/Guru of the Gods during the Kurukestra war really loves Abhimanyu/Mercury/Budh and is amazed with his bravery and beauty. In Hindu mythology Jupiter/Drona/Guru of the Gods similarly loves Budh/Mercury, even though he was the product of an extramarital affair.
I'm the first person to have discovered all of this that I know of.
In the Mahabarata, Ashwatthama/Rudra/Shiva, as Duryodhana/Time/Kali is dieing, sneaks into the Pandava camp and kills all of the Upandavas in their sleep/the sons of the Pandavas. Upandavas are the sons of the Pandavas Arjuna/Storm God, Bhima/Wind God and the other Pandavas.
One of the Upandavas that he kills is Shatanika, the son of Nakula/God of the Dawn/Aswhin. Shatanika is said to have been an avatar of the Visvadevas. The Visvadevas is the collective term for all of the demigods as well as demons/asuras in the Vedas. In the Vedas the distincitn between demigod and demon was not delineated. So for instance, Varuna/Ocean God, and Mitra/Morning Sun, who are demons/Asuras, are not described as demons in the Vedas.
The killing of Shatanika/Visvadevas by Ashwatthama/Rudra/Shiva is metaphorical of the death of all the finite gods who are not Shiva/the flow. In the flow there is no thing. The demigods all represent different finite phenomena, such as the Ocean/Varuna, or the Sun/Surya, or the Stars/Brihspati Jupiter/Shukarcharya Venus. Shiva/Aswatthama/Rudra killing Visvadevas/Shatanika is metaphorical of the detruciton of all separation/separate demigods towards oneness/the flow/Shiva/Aswatthama. After Ashwatthama/Shiva kills the Upandavas in their sleep, he goes back to Duryodhana/Kali/Time/Ego who is dieing after having been hit below the waist by a the mace of Bhim/Wind God. Duryodhana dies when Ashwatthama returns. Time/Kali/Duryodhana depends on the existence of the Visvedevas. Time exists due to separation, the idea that htere are separate unique individual things. But seperation is an illusion. That is why after Ashwatthama kills the Visvedeva/Shatanika, Duryodhana/Kali/Time/Ego dies. The story of the Mahabarata is metaphorical thorughout and ultimately is pointing to the progression towards transcendence/Shiva/Ashwatthama/Rishna/Vishnu.
Aswatthama/Shiva/Rudra/Flow also killed Dhristayuma/Fire God in his sleep. Fire brings illumination/light and it seems transcendent- so fire points to the flow. But fire ultimately is finite and is not the flow. THat is why Aswatthama/Shiva/flow kills Dhristayuma/Fire God. Fire God/Dhristayuma had killed Aswatthama/Shiva/Rudras Father Brihspati/Jupiter through trickery, so Aswatthama felt he was justified killing Dhristayuma/Fire God in his sleep.
Draupadi/Fire God/the Upandavas Mother says she wants Aswatthama/Shiva/Flow killed in retaliation. But Krishna/Vishnu/flow says taht Aswatthama/Shiva/flow cannot be killed. The Mahabarata is showing the supremacy of Krishna/Vishnu/Shiva/Aswatthama/the flow/No thingness/oneness.
The Ocean God/Varuna and Mitra/the Morning Sun are probably seen as demons because if you think about it, the Sea is metaphorical of Truth- it is vast and seems infinitie- so it points to the flow, but at the same time it is full of salt/physicality, and creatures, and it is physical- so does not completely represent no thing. The Morning Sun/Mitra is viewed as an Asura/Demon because it is low in the sky/not transcendent, and the Sun, while being radiant energy and thus pointing to the flow, still is physical and limited and not infinite.
The demons are born of the Earth Mother, whereas the demigods are born of the Sky Mother. The Earth Mother is more physical, and thus related to ego/separation dualstiic consciousenss. The sky represents more transcendence and the infinite, and thus represents more the flow.
In one of the stories of Muhammad, birds drop rocks on an enemy army of elephants against Muhammad and destroy the army. The birds represent transcendence.

the seven sages are the seven stars of the Big Dipper
In the Kurukestra war Karna/Sun God/Shani/Saturn had the opportunity to kill Yuddhistir/Kama/God of Death but he did not. In Hindu mythology the Sun God's sons are Yama the God of Death and Shani/Saturn.
The Sun/knowledge/ego/time/Karna and Death Yuddhistir/Yama are related because the Sun is an entity that seems to be a separate object. Yes the Sun is energy, and everything is energy, but the Sun also gives light that due to inaccurate senses can lead to the illusion of separate individual entities. Within the illusion of separate individual entities/Sun/TIme/Space (time and space are related and are centered around the illusion of separate indivudal entitites), there is inherent the ilusion of death- separate individual entities die and are born- die and are born. This is why Karna/Sun God lets Yuddhistir/Yama/God of Death live. In HIndu mythology Shani/Saturn/Karna is related to the God of Death/Yama/Yuddhistir.
In the flow/Shiva/Krishna/Vishnu there is no time. That is why Krishna/Vishnu helps Arjuna/Storm God to kill Karna/Sun God/time/power/knowledge. The Clouds/Arjuna block out the Sun/Karna.
I'm the first person to discover this stuff that I'm aware of.
Shani/Saturn/God of Justice is a son of the Sun God Surya, and Shani walks with a limp because he would fight with his brother Yama/God of Death.
The Sun shows appearances, and there is the appearance of death. The sun represents knowledge. The sun illuminates separate physical objects- but separation is an illusion- and within the illusion of separate physical entities, there is death/Yama. One of the Sun's children is death/Yama.
However, there are stories where a person was appointed by the God of Death/Yama to be killed, but the person was praying to Shiva and thus Shiva saved him.Shiva/the flow is the Truth, beyond appearances/Sun God. In the flow/Shiva there is no death, because the flow is timeless and there is no thing.
Karna/Sun God/Shani/God/Saturn of retribution/justice fights the Pandava Yuddhistir/the God of Death.
Shani/Saturn/Sun God/God of justice is a son of the Sun God. Justice/karma is a reality within the world of separation consciousness/knowledge/ego which the Sun/Sun God is a part of/represents. Within the illusion that there are separate physical entities (the light of the sun God illuminates that illusion), there is karma/Shani/Justice/Saturn. However, Shiva/Durvasa/Krishna/Vishnu/the flow is oneness/no thingness. Karna/Shani/Sun God/Saturn is killed in the Mahabarata and ultimatley Vishnu/Krishna/the flow is supreme.
One of Shani/Saturn/God karma's sisters is Kali/Time/Ego. Karna/Saturn/Sun God is inseparable from Duryodhana/Kali/Time/Ego, and they fight against hthe Pandavas who are less physical but represent more transcendent non physical non embodied entities like Arjuna/clouds/Storm God and Wind/Bhima. Shani/Saturn/Sun God/karma implies a separate self and time/Kali/ego, but ultimately Karna/Saturn/Shani/Sun God is killed as well as Duryodhana/Kali/ego/time and Krishna/Vishnu/flow is supreme.
Dhrishttadyumna/son of the Fire God Agni/Fire God Agni fights Drona/Brihspati/Jupiter in the Kurukestra War. Dhristhtadyummna was the brother of Draupadi who is the daughter of the Fire God Agni. Fire is less physical and more ephemeral than Jupiter/Guru of the Devas. Agni/fire is also seen as a guru/teacher/energy. Agni is kind of "all pervasive" in that Agni was seen as being on earth as fire, in the atmosphere as lighting, and in the sky as the sun. So Agni moreso represents the flow/all pervasiveness/oneness than does Drona/brihspati/Jupiter. Agni/Fire burns things/destroys appearances or the illusion of the separate entities. Jupiter/Brihspati/Guru of the Devas is more of an indiviual entity in the sky, and thus less so represents the flow. Brihspati is bright and like light, so represents intelligence and insight which is nonphysical/nontangible, but fire moreso represents the flow/Vishnu/Krishna. But still the flow/Vishnu/Krishna is not fire/Agni/Dhristadyumna. Dhristadyumna/fire/Agni is the leader of the Pandava army and Brihspati/Jupiter/Guru of the Devas is the leader of the Karuava army. Fire/Agni fighting also against Karna/Sun God. Fire is more the light on the Earth that lights up the night, whereas Sun God/Karna is the light during the day, so there is sort of an antagonism there.
Ultimately Ashwatthama/Rudra/Shiva/the flwo kills Dhristadyumna/Agni/Fire. Agni/Fire/Dhristadyumna points to the flow/Shiva, but is not the flow/Shiva. Shiva/the flow/no thingness killing fire represents the supremacy of the flow.
Satyaki/Marut/Rain God fights Drona/Brihspati during the war. Drona/Brishpati/Guru of the Gods was Arjuna/Storm God's Guru. Arjuna/Storm God was the teacher of Satyaki/Marut/Rain God. Therefore it makes sense that Satyaki/Marut/rain God fights with Arjuna, his teacher. However, Krityavarma/Marut/Rain God fights with the Kauravas. Satyaki/Marut Rain God and Krityavarma/Marut/Rain God both survive the Kurukestra war. Rain is transcendent and thus points to the flow/Krishna. However, rain is not the flow/Krishna. If somebody worships rain gods/Maruts, then they are focused on self protection and promotion. In the end, after the war, Satyaki/Marut Rain God, at a makes fun of Kritavarma/Marut Rain God. Satyaki/Marut/Rain God cuts the head off of Krityavarma/Marut/Rain God. Krityavarama/Marut/RAin Gods friends then kill Satyaki/Marut/Rain God. Krishna could have saved Satyaki but he declined to, knowing that the curse of Ghandari/ego/Duryodanahs Father Dhristarashtra's wife that Krishna's clan had to be destroyed, had to be fulfilled.
The murder o the Maruts/Rain Gods Satyaki and Krityavarma again shows the supremacy of Krishna/the flow and Shiva/Durvasa/the flow/oneness/no thingness over the limited aspects of nature.
Rain/Maruts wipes away illusions/mud.
Bhim/Wind God breaks eight of Duryodhana's/Bhrispati/Jupiter's Chariots when going to save Arjuna. Bhim/Wind God/Meditation/breath breaking Brihspatis chariots represents the fact that medication/Bhim/the breath can help one to attain the flow/Krishna/Vishnu. In the flow, teachings/communication/intelligence/Brihspati/Jupiter becomes obsolete. In the flow you are not tied to or attached to any teachings/Brihspati/Jupiter/Guru of the Gods, but are open to inspiration and intuition.
Ghatotkacha is Bhim/the wind Gods sun, and thus he represents the wind. He is also the son of Hidimbi though, a demoness. He probably represents wind like tornados or hurricanes that carry debris. He is non physical transcendent wind, that carries physical/ego qualities. Gathotkacha fights Duryodhna/Kali/Time and Karna/Sun God/Knowledge/ego as well. Ghatotkacha/Wind God forces Karna/Sun God to kill him using Karna's weapon that he was only going to use to kill Arjuna/Indra/Storm God/intellect. The Pandavas are sad over Ghatotkacha/Wind God's death, but Krishna is happy because he says that Karna/Sun God using his greatest weapon on Ghatotkacha/wind God will allow Arjuna/intellect to defeat Karna/knowledge. Thus the Wind God/breath/meditation helped to destroy Karna/ego/Time/power. However the weapon Karna/Sun God/Shani used to destroy Bhim was a weapon given to him by Indra/intellect/Storm God/transcendent. The fact that the Wind God's son is killed shows that although wind/breath is transcendent and nonphysical- and thus does not point to the illusion of separate physical entities, still wind is not the flow/Shiva/Vishnu/Krishna/Durvasa- it is still limited.
Duryodhana/Kali/Time ego is told by his Mom Ghandari to go to the Ganga Goddess River and bathe in it naked and come back to her naked. Duryodhana is worried that his Mom might want to have sex with him.
But getting naked is metaphorical of transcending the ego identity. Clothes represent ones identity/ego/calculative thinking.
Duryodhana comes back and he covers his waist with a leaf and shows hismelf to his blindfolded Mom. Ghandari was blindfolded because she wanted to be equal to her blind husband Dhritarashtra. Being blind actually represents an attempt to trasncend dualsitic ego sensory software/the world of illusions. Although Duryodhana had not truly transcended sensory consciousness.
Ghandari had gained power from living so long blindfoldded/transcending sensory ego dualsitic ocnsicousess of the false belief that there are separate things. As a result, she todl Duryodhana/Kali/Time/Ego to stand in front of her and she took off her blindfold and looked on Duryodhana. Out ofher eyes came a power/energy that made whatevver part of Duryodhana/Kali/Times body that she looked at invincible. But she saw that Duryodhana had covered his waist with a leaf. She asks Duryodyahan/Kali/Time/Ego why he did not listen to her and come to her naked. Duryodhana/Kali/Time says that he could not come to his Mother naked. She tells him "now somebody can kill you by hitting your waist/thighs, you should have listened to me when I told you to come to me naked".
The Thigh/Waist represents the ego- it is where the sex gonads are located and is thus where sense pleasure can become entrapped. Sense pleasure confirms the illusion of the separate ego body. Duryodhana/Kali/Time//ego not becoming completely naked represents that he wanted to maintain the ego identity/sense pleasure/illusion of being a separate individual ego self. Time/Kali/Duryodhana is founded on the principle of separation. Time requires space and separate individual objects, and space and separate individdual objects are an illusion- everything is one flowing energy or as vedantists say "consciousness"- there is no thing.
Bhima/Wind God kills Duryodhana by hitting him in the waist with his mace. Earlier in the Mahabarata Duryodhana/Kali/Time had wanted to rape Draupadi/Fire God/energy/kundalini by having her "sit on his thigh". Draupadi was the wife of the Pandavas. Duryodhana/Kali/Time/Ego wanting Draupaid/desires represents the kundalini energy/desires being entrapped in the ego body/gonads/lower sensual pleasures. Bhima/Wind God/Breath hitting Duryodhan in the thigh and killing him represents the wind/Breath/meditation/ritual discipline overcoming the illusion of the separate ego self.
Kashyapa is the Father of the demigods and demons. Kashyapa means turtle. Vishnu also had a turtle incarnation as Kurma/the turtle avatar/the flow.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurma
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y
Krishna/Vishnu is born of Devaki/Aditi/Mother of the demigods and Vasudeva/Kashyapa/Turtle. Devaki is the reincarnation of Aditi. Aditi gave birth to the demigods but she also gave birth the Vamana/Vishnu/Dwarf/Flow. Vasudeva is the reincarnation of Kashyapa/Turtle/Father of the Demigods and Father of Vamana/Vishnu/Dwarf Flow. Vamana was the dwarf incarnation of Vishnu. Kashyapa is a turtle and also Kumara was a turtle incarnation of Vishnu. On top of Kumara/Vishnu/Turtle/Kashyap was the churning of the Ocean. The Churning of the Ocean brings about divine nectar/eternal life/flow but also poison which Shiva drinks- Dualisitc consciousness brings sin/poison but Shiva/the flow is forgiveness for sinners.
The Turtle/Kashyapa represents the mind and Devaki/Aditi/the sky represents consciousness. Also the turtle retracts itself in its shell, which represents the transcending of sense consciousness of the illusory external world to oneness. Going into the shell represents breaking free of the illusory sensory world/retracting the senses/ expereince based dualsitic consciousnesss.
Kashyapa/Vasudeva giving birth to Krishna/Vishnu represents the flow/Vishnu/Krishna/divine nectar emerging out of the mind/dualsitic ego software/the transcendence of dualsitic ego software. As a result Kashyapa/Vishnu/Kumar/Vasudeva with Krishna/Flow breaks free of the prison/the mind.
Kashyapa/Turtle/the mind gives birth to demons through Diti/Earth Goddess but demigods through Aditi/Sky Goddess. The demons are the formula for acting immoral/but still Shiva/the flow saves. The demigods are the formula for acting moral. Neither of them is the flow. Neither conformity nor non conformity are the flow- they are both focused on the ego self. But morality more often leads to the flow, which is why worshipping Vishnu is seen as superior.
When Krishna/the flow and Vasudeva/Kashyapa/Father of the demigods and demons/Turtle/mind/Vishnu escape from prison/the mind, Shesha/snake God/Vishnu covers Krishna from the rain. Shesha was a snake that did meditation and left the ways of predator prey dualsitic ego software- thus he became one with Vishnu/the flow. The snake Shesha/conquered ego/the flow protecting Krishna/Vishnu/the flow represents the the transcendence of the ego/Shesha. The water and the waves that surround Krishna and Vasudeva/Kashyapa/Turtle/mind as they walk through the Yamuna river are the memories and formulas that are to be transcended.
Kashyap/Vasudev/Turtle/Father of the demigods and demons exchanges Krishna/Vishnu/the flow for Yogmaya- the daughter of Yashoda/Maya/ illusion. Kasyap/Vasudeva/Turtle brings back to the prison the baby Maya/illusion. Even when one transcends the prison of illusion/dualsitic ego software, he returns to the prison/illusion/Maya.
I don’t know if there is an illuminati or not. But if there is one, I’m not aware of being apart of it. The first time I ever read the Bible was was in college. I never read any esoteric stuff or anything until after I dsicovered the quadrant model in college 2010 (probably 2009 I don't know exact date but it was beginning sophomore year of college). The first time I ever went to Church really was my freshman year of college. My Grandpa grew up on a farm on Ohio and became a pastor. He later became a transpersonal psychologist/ a spiritual psychologist. The only thing he ever taught me was buddhist stuff that he learned in transpersonal paychology about transcending the ego and “awareness” and the flow, and he only taught me that stuff in high school because my dad screwed up my shot with the shootaway machine, and my Grandpa had to come to la from kauai so I could live with him because my Dad kicked me out of my house. My Grandpa never taught me anything esoteric and he never knew anything esoteric. For instance, before I taught my Grandpa stuff, my Grandpa knew nothing about Hinduism, and the only stuff he knew in the Bible was the gospels and the old testament rudimentary. I learned all the esoteric stuff myself after discovering the quadrant model in 2009. But my Grandpa only taught me very basic buddhist stuff like transcending the ego and that we’re all one. And honestly my Grandpa didn’t even know much about Buddhism- he was just basically a psychologist that taught people how to transcend their egos. I have never been a part of any secret society or even attended anything religious at all my whole life until college when I went to Church with my teammates and one time my senior year in high school when I went to Church with a basketball coach, one time. The time I started studying the Bible in depth was in 2009, when I discovered the quadrant model. The first time I started studying Hinduism was in 2015. Before 2015 if you would have asked me “who is Indra” I would have said “I don’t know”. I didn’t know anything about Hinduism before 2015. The first time I ever went to a Hare krishna temple was in 2015. I didn’t even know what Hare krishna was before 2015. If you would have asked me “who is Krishna” before 2015, I don’t think I could have answered. Its only very recently I started making all the discoveries. I only started really studying the Bible in 2011 probably. I didn’t even know that there was such thing as the J Witnesses or the seventh day adventists until 2013 when I was living on Kauai. All of the big discoveries I made were extremely recent. For instance all the discoveries I just made about the Mahabarata were these last few weeks watching a movie serial called “the mahabarata”. I knew pretty much nothing about the Mahabarata before watching that serial the last month or two. Also the last few months I watched a serial called “Vishnu Puran” and “Shiva puran”. Before watching these I knew very little about Shiva and Vishnu. But after watching them I made a lot of huge discoveries
Going into college in 2008, if you would have asked me “who is Abraham Issac and Jacob” I would have said “I don’t know”. I did not know much about the Bible. If you would have asked me “what is the torah” or “the pentateuch” or any biblical question pretty much, I would have said “I don’t know”. I discovered the quadrant model probably in 2009 the beginning of my sophomore year of college. I had never really been to Church or done anything religious or read the Bible before college. By 2013 I had decoded the whole Bible and discovered the revolutionary theory of the allegorical nature that nobody had seen before. 2015 was the first time I ever went to a Hare Krishna place and even knew what Hare Krishna was. Before 2015 I don’t think I knew who Rama was. I knew Krishna was considered a hindu God but I didn’t know anything about him. I didn’t know who Ganesha was and I wouldn’t have been able to tell you any Hindu myth. In 2020 I have decoded the whole Mahabarata- the Hindu scriptures- in a way never seen before and revolutionary

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanara
Its actually debatable if Hanuman and Vanaras were monkeys. Many Hindus translate Vanara as monkey, but many argue thats a mistranslation
Vanara means forest human, and while many Hindus think that means monkey, there are people who argue that it doesn’t mean monkey
“Although the word Vanara has come to mean "monkey" over the years and the Vanaras are depicted as monkeys in the popular art, their exact identity is not clear.[7][8] Unlike other exotic creatures such as the rakshasas, the Vanaras do not have a precursor in the Vedic literature.[9] The Ramayana presents them as humans with reference to their speech, clothing, habitations, funerals, consecrations etc. It also describes their monkey-like characteristics such as their leaping, hair, fur and a tail.[8]
According to one theory, the Vanaras are strictly mythological creatures. This is based on their supernatural abilities, as well as descriptions of Brahma commanding other deities to either bear Vanara offspring or incarnate as Vanaras to help Rama in his mission.[8] The Jain re-tellings of Ramayana describe them as a clan of the supernatural beings called the Vidyadharas; the flag of this clan bears monkeys as emblems.[10][11] [12][13]:334[4]
G. Ramdas, based on Ravana's reference to the Vanaras' tail as an ornament, infers that the "tail" was actually an appendage in the dress worn by the men of the Savara tribe.[8] (The female Vanaras are not described as having a tail.[14][13]:116) According to this theory, the non-human characteristics of the Vanaras may be considered artistic imagination.[7] In Sri Lanka, the word "Vanara" has been used to describe the Nittaewos mentioned in the Vedda legends.[15][16]”
The movie Alien is metaphorical. Aliens are transcendent creatures representing the flow- the transcendence of dualisic ego software. The aliens killing thee humans represents the transcendence of the ego. As the Bible says “nobody looks upon the Face of God and lives”.

According to Hare Krishna, no land belongs to anybody but all land is Krishnas. What this means is that everything is one. In the flow. everything is one.
Professors use the term “Amerindian” to refer to “Native Americans”. I have listened to many lectures with Professors using the term Amerindians. It is a neutral term. Native Americans gives the impression of superiority/superior inferior ego software to people with brown skin, even if they have European ancestry or other ancestry. Ultimately no term is adequate to describe anybody.
When somebody grasps onto an ego identity it causes many consequences that can bring about difficulties. It is not that it is wrong to grasp onto an ego identity. The ego is a protective enclosure and it is “magnificent in its accomplishments”, but it is limiting.
Historians say that Europeans may have been the first to come to America. And that doesn’t even matter. Ultimately Hare Krishna say that no land belongs to anybody but Krishna/tetragrammaton/Allah/Buddha/Oden/Jesus/ Olodumare.
I once heard somebody say that “Ann Coulter is crazy for saying that South Africa is not Native to Africans but to the dutch”. Saying this can be an expression of right v wrong software- good guy v bad guy software. Saying who is bad and who is good- Whites are bad and Blacks are good. That can be said as an expression of dualistic ego software.
I listened to a lecture by a renowned African historian from the teaching company, and he said that it is true that nobody lived in South Africa becore the Dutch Board created suitable environments there with agriculture. So technically the Dutch were the first to really live there.
But thats not the point. To say it belongs to anybody is superior inferior ego software. In the flow everything is one. Yes in the flow you react to other peoples software. If somebody has predator prey software you react accordingly. But in the flow/intuition/inspiration/Krishna/tetragrammaton/Allah there is oneness
people can think because they are vegans they are superior. This is superior inferior ego software and self obsession and promotion. Paul says “the good i would i do not and that which i would not i end up doing”. The Bible and Hindu scriptures do no teach that people cannot eat meat. People might think they are “doing good” by not eating meat. But Ted Nugent points out that “if you want to kill the most animals, be a vegan”. There is a tremendous amount of animals that are killed to maintain vegan diets and vegans often tend not to be healthy. I recently saw a hare krishna girl post a post daying that if chinese were vegan there would be no corona virus. That can be an expression if superior inferior ego software thinking that being vegan is superior
If people want to be vegan I support that. That is awesome to do as a ritual. But if somebody thinks he is superior for being vegan, then that is still dualistic superior inferior ego software and self obsession and promotion. Jesus said “its not what goes into your mouth that makes you clean, but what comes out of it”. The Bible and Hindu scriptures both have prohibitions against “hunting” but neither prohibit eating meat. For instance the Bible says not to hunt certain animals. Hindu scriptures also have stories that illustrate hunting as having negative consequences. But neither prohibit the eating of meat
https://youtu.be/1BUL78hbkLA
for a year about I tried to go on a vegan diet and I think I got more unhealthy. I commend people who do vegan as a ritual. But if people think that being vegan makes then superior that is superior inferior ego software. If somebody eats vegan not to show off or belong, but out of a true awareness of oneness that is beneficial. Because somebody is a vegetarian does not make him superior. If somebody eats vegetarian to show off or to “make God happy so he will be rewarded” that is a form of self indulgence
In the gospel of Barnabas, Barnabas describes that the kosher laws do not literally need to be followed. Eating kosher is beneficial like any ritual practice is, in that it takes you out of habits, circumstances, and relationships, and thus opens you more to the flow. Also hunting can be predator prey ego software. But Barnabas says the kosher laws are metaphorical in that, for instance, it is beneficial to eat animals that chew cud and have cleft hooves, because chewing cud represents digesting wisdom and cleft hooves allow you to climb mountains which represents raising the height of your awareness. You are what you eat so it is beneficial to eat those animals.
But I think the guy on the Joe Rogan show makes good points. Clams are very nutrient dense. I think that eating clams can be beneficial. Barnabas says people can eat whatever they want, but the kosher laws were just metaphorical, pointing people to imbibe spiritual qualities by eating animals that represent those qualities
Solomon in the Bible is called the wisest man. Solomon had thousands of wives. Rabbis say that Solomon had the thousand wives because they were from different pagan backgrounds, and he could bring them all to Judaism. But also he had the thousand wives because he wanted to learn from their pagan religions. Rabbis say that a wise man learns from many people. Muhammad said to seek knowledge everywhere. Rabbis say that the reason why a statue is an idol, and not a monument, is because a statue is sedentary, but a monument can have stones added to it. A monument can evolve. Inquiry involves evolution and openenss. Inquiry is related to the flow. Solomon was in the flow, inquiring, open and studying all of the different ideas from different cultures. Rabbis say the reason why the Babylonian Talmud was greater than the Jerusalem Talmud is because the Babylonian Talmud was written in Babylonia, where Jews had more contact with other cultures and ideas.
It was immature when Black people were attacking Orthodox Jews. Even if Orthodox Judaism might have members with dualsitic ego consciousness, Orthodox Judaism like very religion is a discipline and all disciplines can be beneficial and helpful. By performing rituals it helps take one out of his habits circumstances and relationships with other people, and thus helps him more to be in the flow. Harming people is predator prey dualsitic ego consciousness.

Metapyschiatry
I don’t necessarily believe metapsychiatry but it is what my Grandpa studied and got his PHD in
I remember the Summer going into the ninth grade, sitting in my house and writing in a notebook, and thinking to myself "when I get older I'm going to hopefully start a new religion" and I drew in my notebook a cross in cirlce and I said "this is hopefully going to be the symbol of the new religion." I am seriously not making that up. That seriously truly happened. That was after I had the realization that "the cross is the symbol of the four stages of consciousness". I described in a previous book that going into the ninth grade I was staring at a cross on a Church near my house. I had just gotten back from playing with Master P's basketball team the P Miller ballers in Las Vegas, with Lil Romeo and Dumar Derozan and Brandon Jennings and many other players. Master P was the Coach. We had a camera crew follow us and we were on Nickelodeon on a tv show called "The Team". At the time my shot had been destroyed by the shootaway machine though. My Dad had gotten me the shootaway machine in the seventh grade. Before that I was considered by many to be the best shooter in the nation. At the time I didn't know that it was the shootaway machine that was hurting my shot- I only figured that out in college when I looked at videos of when I was younger shooting on the shootaway machine. I then, maybe a week later, after staring at the cross, went to Kauai, about a week after my experience of being entranced by the cross. I really recall staring at a cross and being entranced by it and I told myself "when I get older I'm going to be a Christian, there has to be something to it that billions of people would be Christians". I had never been to Church before or anything- I didn't know anything at all about Christianity or the Bible. This was the eigth grade going into the ninth. I never really read the Bible at all until my Freshman year of college. The first time I ever read the New Testament was my Sophomore year of college. I only went to Church maybe twice in high school, my Senior year in high school with my friend Renaldo Woolridge's basketball Coach Issac. Renaldo played in the NBA, and now he's a rapper. I was probably the first person Renaldo signed to his record label Swiper Boys in high school. We were pretty much best friends in high school. The first time I had ever been in a Church was my Senior year of high school, and I only went I think a few times- and I didn't go to any "regular Churches" because Isaac went to different kinds of Churches. I only started going to Church my Freshman year of college because a lot of my teammates at UCSD basketball team were Christian and we went to Church together. But just staring at the cross the summer going into my ninth grade of high school, I wanted to become a Christian- but really what happened was the cross put me in a trance and I interpreted that as "I should become a Christian". I thought this as I was staring at the cross seriously, in a sort of trance.
Then in Kauai I had my first philosophical conversation ever with my Grandpa- summer going into the ninth grade. My Grandparents lived on Kauai. My Grandma bought a bed and breakfast in Kauai after my Dad and his brother graduated from high school. My Grandma met my Grandpa in college. My Grandma did not know who her biologial parents were, and grew up in a foster home. Before they moved to Kauai to run the bed and breakfast my Grandpa was a marriage and family therapist/ transpersonal psychologist.  When he moved to Kauai he ran the bed and breakfast and also went back to being a Christian minister, but he was a minister that taught through the transpersonal perspective. I didn't even know my Grandpa was a philosopher/transpersonal psychologist before the ninth grade of high school. I had never really talked to him because he lived on Kauai. But during the conversation I had with my Grandpa when I visited him in Kauai, I asked my Grandpa "what is love" and my Grandpa told me "love is the flow". Then he told me about the four stages of consciousness. My Grandpa told me that love is the fourth stage of consciousness/ transcendental transpersonal consciousness. He told me how he was a PHD transpersonal psychologist who learned under Dr. Hora, and Dr. Hora, the founder of metapsychiatry, and Dr Hora had taught him about the four stages of consciousness, the fourth stage being the transpersonal/transrational/love. He told me about the German word "non diden dididen" which means "non thinking thinking" and how love was the flow/ oneness consciousness/ transrational transpersonal consciousness. On our way walking back from the beach I asked my Grandpa "why do you think the cross is such a powerful symbol? Do you think its because it represents the four stages of consciousness?" My Grandpa said "that's a good idea, and maybe the reason why the horizontal bar is raised in the cross is because most people are at the third rational stage of consciousness". What was fascinating was I thought the same exact thing before he said that, seriously, and I told him "I thought that too, I was asking myself as we were walking before I asked you that question, 'why is the horizontal bar raised on the cross'? I thought maybe it was because most people are at the third stage of consciousness, rational consciousness, and the horizontal bar of the cross is at the three quarter mark. If the horizontal bar was at the bottom one quarter mark, then that would be because it is representing the second stage of consciousness." Already before my ninth grade of high school, I pretty much discovered the quadrant model. Then I got back to Granada Hills, where I lived, home from Kauai, and I remember sitting upstairs in my house, writing in my notebook, and I wrote in my journal/ notebook the symbol of the cross in a circle and said "when I get older I'm hopefully going to start a new religion, and this is going to be the symbol, and the cross represents the letter t/ truth". I wrote that in my notebook. The only reason I put the circle was I thought "it has to be different from the Christian symbol, so I'll add a circle".
My Sophomore Year of College, I already described, I was reading the New Testament. I had just quit basketball at UCSD two months prior, thinking that I was going to be a famous rapper. I decided I would quit and devote all my time to rap- little did I know I would no longer be able to rap after quitting basketball. I later discovered I could only rap when nervous, and only basketball got me very nervous. My original raps had not been thrown away at this point (actually they may have been thrown away at this point- I don't know- my Mom had them but I don't know if she had thrown them away yet- I think she threw away my original raps after I showed my Dad the quadrant model my Sophomore year of college and he didn't believe it, and told her he thought I had a delusion, and then she threw them away- otherwise I would have been a famous rapper my sophomore year of college). I was reading the gospels, the first time I had ever read the gospels, and I was on the chapter where Jesus was crucified. I was thinking about a personality model that my Grandpa told me about that had four types of people in it. Then I had the realization "the four types of people are the cross- the four quadrants of the cross", and I thought how the fourth type was different, and didn't seem to fit in the model. My other Grandpa had given me a course on physics, because I wanted to know more about physics, and in that course they talked about the four forces, and how gravity was different from the other three. Then I started thinking about how that fourfold, three plus one pattern was everywhere. Immediately I thought of many many examples of the pattern, and I knew that existence was organized around the cross.
Before my Grandpa became a transpersonal psychologist, he was a Christian minister in Ohio. My Grandpa grew up on a farm in Ohio with twelve siblings. He told me that in Ohio, when they would do the "minstrel plays" he always played the Black boy who would dance around. They would paint his face and body Black and he was always the Black boy who danced. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing, that's just what they did. My Grandpa said that he was so poor, he only had two pairs of clothes that he wore to school year everyday, and one year he was embarrassed because his Mom got him two pairs of the same clothes, so it looked like the whole year he never changed once. He said he was always afraid of being seen as "poor and dumb", and he told me that he never got over that fear, and he thinks that's why he tried to hard to be "smart" and read so much.The city kids looked down on the farmer kids, because the farmer kids tended to be more "poor and dumb". Because he read so much, and was considered smart, he decided to become a Christian minister. When he graduated from high school he first became a Christian minister. My Grandpa told me that for a long time he was a fundamentalist Christian minister. Like most Christian ministers, he saw the Bible in a simple perspective, just teaching that you have to believe in Jesus or you go to hell, and he did not think deeply about the Bible. He was just simply a fundamentalist Christian minister in Ohio. But he started to recognize that there was "something wrong with Christian fundamentalism". He said by chance he was in New York. He started reading spiritual books like Yogandas book "The Autobiography of a Yogi", and when he was in New York, he met Dr. Thomas Hora, and he started to learn under Dr. Hora. Dr. Hora was the founder of metapsychiatry, and he taught my Grandpa about the flow/ transcendence of the ego. My Grandpa recognized that Dr. Hora was correct, that fundamentalist Christianity tended to be ego oriented, and my Grandpa stopped being a fundamentalist minister, and studied under Dr. Hora, and got a PHD in transpersonal psychology.
My Grandpa told me that if he never met Dr. Hora, he doesn't know what would have happened. Maybe he would still be a Christian fundamentalist minister.
After I discovered the quadrant model my Sophomore year of college, I thought to myself, "I want to hopefully understand the Bible". So my Junior year of college in 2010 probably, I would call my Grandpa every day and we would read the Bible for about an hour or more a day together. He told me the way he interpreted the passages of a Bible through a "transpersonal perspective". Eventually, after calling my Grandpa everyday for a few years, my Grandpa and I had read through the whole Bible. My Grandpa told me he had never even read most of the Bible. He just mainly had read the New Testament, and that was it. And he also did not read much of the New Testament, just mainly the gospels. But after reading for a few years everyday with my Grandpa, we finished the whole Bible, and my Grandpa told me his interpretations of what we read through a transpersonal perspective. Although I don't think I ever really understood the transpersonal perspective honestly until maybe last year- and I still don't know if I understand it completely. We started reading the Bible together in 2010 probably, and finished the Bible in 2013 at the same time I moved to Kauai.
My Grandpa had also never studied Hindu mythology or Greek mythology. He learned a lot about Buddhism and Christianity from Dr. Hora, but Dr. Hora did not teach much about Hinduism or Islam or other religions. Dr. Hora mainly focused on Buddhism and Christianity, and the integration of Buddhism and Christianity through the lense of transpersonal/tranrational psychology. So over the past years I have read to my Grandpa Hindu mythology and Greek mythology and other mythology, and together we have come up with interpretations of the mythology through a transpersonal perspective. Honestly, I have come up with most of the interpretations, but he has helped in a way that I could not have discovered close to what I discovered without his help. During this whole process, in the back of my mind, I have been "hoping to start a new religion", something that I hoped for ever since I was going into the ninth grade.
So in this book, if I say something like "my Grandpa taught me that Muslims are correct that Allah can chose to save the anybody, even if they are righteous, because the flow can come to anybody", my Grandpa didn't just teach me that. My Grandpa did not know much about Islam. The reason my Grandpa said that was I was at his house and I listened on YouTube to a Muslim teacher give a lecture, and the Muslim teacher said “Allah can chose to save anybody”, and I asked my Grandpa if he thought this was true, and he said "yes anybody can realize the flow- Allah is the flow and anybody can realize it". In this book, I will not give the context of the realizations, however, but will just say something like "My Grandpa taught me.." , like “My Grandpa taught me that Muslims are correct, that anybody, even the unrighteous, Allah can chose to save- that the flow can come to anybody”. My Grandpa did not just “teach me that” out of nowhere- in almost all of the cases I asked a question, and he taught me in the form of his opinion on the question, or answer to the question. My Grandpa never really "preached" anything to me. About everything I say that he said in this book, was a response to a question I asked. I never really started seriously studying Hinduism honestly until 2015. Right now it is 2019. So keep in mind, most of these discoveries I recently had. For instance, the first time I ever went to a Hare Krishna temple was in 2015 probably. First time I went to a Vedanta temple was in 2015. My Grandpa knew about Ramakrishna and the Vedantists, but my Grandpa had never studied the Bhagavad Gita or any Hindu scriptures. The first time I ever went to a Jewish synagogue to  study was probably in 2012. The first time I studied at a Buddhist temple was probably 2015. I didn't know that groups like the Seventh Day Adventists or Messianic Jews or J Witnesses existed until 2013 when I came across the living in Kauai. The first time I ever heard that a J witness existed was when one knocked on my door in Kauai in 2013 and I invited her in and she explained to me her J Witness perspective. I never even knew they existed. Growing up, I kind of grew up in an egg shell in Granada Hills. I was extremely sheltered growing up. My Dad is a surgeon. I grew up wealthy and was sheltered from pretty much everything. All I did was played basketball and went to school and rapped. Never went to any Church or anything. First time I was ever introduced to anything philosophical was when I visited my Grandpa in Kauai going into the ninth grade. Before 2015 you could have asked me "who is Ramakrishna", "who is Arjuna" "what is Hare Krishna", “who is Rama”, “who is Ganesha”, I would not have been able to answer any of your questions. Before I shared with my Grandpa who Rama and who Sita were a few years ago, my Grandpa did not even know who Rama was, or anything about those stories. All of my discoveries in regards to mythology were recent discoveries.
Daksha is one of the sons of Brahma. Brahma is the creator god created by Vishnu. He argues with Vishnu that he was not created by Vishnu. Vishnu argues that he did create him. They are in dualsitic superior inferior software- trying to be superior to the other. They have right v wrong software- who is right who is wrong. Shiva breaks them free of his dualistic software showing them his infinite form that they cannot comprehend and saying that the fourfold AUM is God and that he is the Aum. Vishnu is also the AUM.
Brahma is a creator and when you create something you can gain a sense of superiority, especially if you take personal credit. Therefore Brahma is not worshipped by most Hindus because of the superior inferior dualistic ego software
Daksha is the Father of Worship, offering, oblation, modesty, steadfastness and other spiritual qualities. However Shiva cuts off Daksha's head due to his arrogance/ sense of superiority. Daksha wants Shiva to bow to him. Daksh's daughter, Sati, was Shiva's wife. Sati is the daughter of marital felicity. Daksha like Brahma has the superior inferior dualsitic ego software. Shiva cuts off Daksha's head in anger.
Shiva cutting off Daksha's head is a metaphor that salvation does not come from worship, offering, oblation, modesty, and other strategies for personal salvation. If somebody performs these spiritual qualities for ego motivaiotns/ to save the self, then it is a form of self indulgence and does no benefit to the person perofrming them. That is why Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha. Shiva is true salvation/ the flow/ transcendence of the ego. Daksha and his children are beneficial, but they cannot be complete and total strategies to salvaiton. Somebody can offer oblations, but if he does not do it as a ritual practice, but does it to be seen or to please God for selfish purposes, then it does him no benefit.
Shiva however brings Daksha back to life, but gives Daksha a Rams head. Daksha is not "bad". Oblations, and worship, and Modesty and Intellect, all of Daksha's children, are not "bad". They are beneficial. But they are not the end all and be all- and they are not perfect strategies to salvation. They are helpful in ones development and evolution and expansion of awareness and ritual practice, but Shiva cuts off Dakshas head in the story as a mythical reminder that salvation does not come through acts, but by grace. If somebody is "modest" and covers her hair, but she does it in order to show off how modest she is, then it is not modesty, but it is arrogance. Covering hair can be effective as a ritual practice, but ultimately salvation does not come through this.
Sati is Shiva's wife. Sati represents marital felicity. Sati commits suicide because Daksha, her Dad, offends Shiva. Sati commiting suicide is also representative of a deeper meaning. People want to attain salvation through "marriage", or "marital felicity" or "special relationships". They think that a "special relationship" will give them happiness and fulfillment. Sati is not "bad". Special relationship/ marriage can be good in that it can take somebdoy out of his self preoccupation and expand his boundaries and awareness to include another person and a family. But ultimately even marriage/ special relationships must be transcendend to mutual participation/ the flow, which is a step beyond special relaitonships. Special relationshis is a step beyond self preoccupation, but it si sitll ultimately a form of self confirmation in that you are still focused on the self. Sati commits suicide representing that even "marital felicity" must be transcendend to the flow.
Paul says that he recommends that people not have sex at all. Because sex can be a form of ego gratification and sense indulgence. The flow/ intution/ inspiration is transcendence of the senses/ sense body to the oneneness/ pure consciousness/ energy. However Paul says that marriage can be beneficial if somebody feels that otherwise he will burn with passion. Sex is not bad. Marriage is a concession to a work in progress.
Paul also says that "salvation comes through grace and not works." Paul understood the story of Daksha's beheading. Daksha represents the idea that somebody can be saved through works. But Daksha is beheaded by Shiva- because only Shiva/ the flow/ grace can grant salvation. Works are not bad- Daksha is resurrected. But works are not the end all be all.
The name Shiva means "auspiciousness". Shiva grants salvation to even the "evil". Shiva grants salvation to even the demons. The Bible says "rain poors on the just and unjust". Rain is grace. Rain is salvation. Shiva grants favor and salvation to demons and "wicked people".
Indra is the King of the demigods. Indra and the other demigods like Surya, the Sun God, are decendants of Daksha as well. Daksha has daughters Aditi, Diti, and Danu. They marry a sage Kashyapa. Aditi is a sky Mother goddess. Diti is an Earth Goddess. The earth is embodies and represents the physical, whereas the sky represents the transcendence of the physical to the flow/ spiritual. Aditi's children are the demigods. Diti's children are the Asuras/Demons.
Shiva is worshipped by the demons. This is not because Shiva is "evil". Shiva and Vishnu are one. Shiva is auspiciousness. Shiva is salvation and grace, that can be granted to even the evil- even the demons. Jesus in the Bible says "judge not lest ye be judged". When you judge somebody, you put somebody else down in order to boost your own ego. Even the demons can attain favor of Shiva/Vishnu/ the flow/ transcendence of the ego.
There is a constant battle between the demigods and the demons. The demigods are aspects of nature. Recall that they are descendants of Brahma the creator God, and his son Daksha, the Father of the virtuous spiritual principles. Indra is a sky god of lightning, thunder, storms, rivers and war. He is the king of the demigods.
In the Hindu stories there is constant battling between the demons/asuras and the demigods. The battle between the demons and asuras represents two strategies for attaining God. The demigods worship Vishnu and they are "moral". The demons practice self indulgence/ ego gratification, and they worship Shiva and claim to hate Vishnu. The demons and the demigods are from the same Father Kashyapa, but they have different mothers. The demons Mom is Diti, and the demigods Mom is Aditi. Diti and Aditi are descendants of Daksha who is a descendant of the creator God Brahma.
In the famous story of the churning of the Ocean the demigods and the demons fight to gain nectar of immorality from the ocean. The nectar of immorality is the flow/transccendence of the ego. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samudra_manthan
The flow is timeless/immortal/pure awareness. The demons strategy for gaining the flow is through doing whatever they want and being self indulgent. The demigods try to be moral. Neither being moral nor being immoral will grant you salvation. People can be moral out of ego purposes. For instance, there is a story of Indra accepting a garland from a sage, and Indra tried to act very pious and modest and he gave the garland to his elephant. The elephant dropped the garland and and stomped on it because the elephant knew that Indra was just trying to act modest in order to be superior/ superior inferior software, and he had not truly transcended the ego to the flow/ pure awareness/ intuition. As a result, as a punishment, Indra was cursed, and the demons took over heaven. Vishnu always incarnates as an avatar and restores order and gives heaven back tot he demigods however. But regardless, sometimes the demons do get the favor of Shiva through severe meditation and they are granted boons and they take heaven. Sometimes the demigods like Indra, although they pretend to be moral and have "good intentions", are in fact self righteous and they get heaven taken from them. Heaven is the flow/ pure awarenes/ timelessness.
The demons and the demigods churn the ocean of milk and try to get the nectar of immortality/ the flow. This represents the two strategies of attaining salvation. The demons practice the left handed path of self indulgence and immorality. The demigods practie the right handed path of morality. Neither is a sure way to salvation. As I said before, people can act morally but it can be due to selfish motivations, and thus it is not the flow. People can also act immoral but they can still attain the flow.
However, the path of the demigods is a more effective path. Vishnu incarnates as a beautiful damsel named Mohini. The demons are very into sense gratification and self indulgence so they are distracted by the beautiful dancing damsel and the demigods take the nectar of immortality.
But the left handed path that the demons take can ultimately lead to salvation, and the right handed path that the Demigods take does not necessarily lead to salvation.
When the demigods and demons churn the ocean of milk/ use their strategies to get into the flow, Laxmi, the goddess of wealth is born. Most HIndus look down upon people who worship the Goddess. When you worship the goddess, that means you are interested in wealth/ material safety/ the self. Vishnu is a philosopher. When you worship Vishnu you are worshipping inquiry/ the flow/ expansion of consciousness/ expansion of awareness. When you worship Vishnu you are not worried about wealth/ material safety net.
Jesus says "seek first the Kingdom of Heaaven, and everything else comes unto you". If you worship Vishnu/ the flow/ expansion of awareness to full spectrum awareness/ pure awarenesss/ intution then wealth is a byproduct. Vishnu worshippers say not to worship the Goddess because if you worship Vishnu you automatically gain the favor of his consort the Goddess. If you have transcedental consciousness and seek first inquiry then wealth is a byproduct. But even if you do not attain wealth/ the Goddess- Vishnu worshippers still say it is better to worship Vishnu than the Goddess. But at the same time, it is not recommended to look down upon Goddess Worshippers or judge them. Because somebody who worships wealth/ self protection can still attain the flow/ Vishnu. Although it is mostly recommended to worship Vishnu or at least Shiva (Vishnu and Shiva are one).
Paul in the Bible says "the good that I would I do not. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. Who shall deliver me from this body of death" Paul is trapped in dualistiic software. The only thing that can save him from the "body of death" is the flow/ transcendence of the ego. Paul talks about, "wanting to do good, but doing bad". An example of this might be giving money to a charity. The person thinks that he is doing good. But really he may be doing "bad". For instance, lets say the charity operates in Africa and the charity gives food to African people. That sounds very "good". But what if the food is not healthy food, and makes the Africans sick? What if the people giving the Africans their food have alterior motives to convert the Africans to their version of religion, when the Africans already have very advanced spiritual traditions- perhaps even more effective than the ones being imposed on them in many cases? What if the people giving the food have alterior motives to make the Africans dependent on them so that they can take advantage of the Africans they give food to, and in the end they make the Africans they are claiming to "help" even more poor. This is what Paul was talking about when he said "the good I would I do not. But the bad which I don't want to do I end up doing". If you "give to the poor" with dualistic software, with a desire to be superior and go to heaven, then your giving is selfish. That dualistic self indulgent software is also the software that leads to taking advantage of people and hurting people for self gain- as opposed to Vishnu/ pure awareness/ seeing the oneness of people/ intution. If you do "good" but do it out of ego motivations/ dualsitic ego software/ superior inferior software/ good guy bad guys software so fourth you end up doing "wrong". This is what Dr. Thomas Hora, the founder of metapsychiatry taught. Dr. Hora was my Grandpas teacher. My Grandpa taught me what Dr. Hora taught. Dr. Hora taught that Paul was referring to his desire to transcend dualistic ego sotware.
There is the saying, "let the heart go before the course". What is very important is motivation. You can do "good", but from superior inferior dualsitic ego software. Ultimately it ends up bad. For instance, somebody may "be a vegetarian" and think he is "good". But if he is a "vegetarian" to "show off"/ be superior/ superior inferior ego software, then he is not much different from a "meat eater" who eats meat out of predator prey dualsitic superior inferior ego software. Neither one is necessarily better than the other- they are both kind of the same. It is true that somebody can try to advertise that vegetarianism is beneficial for animals, and out of intution and inspriaiton/ Vishnu fight for the rights of animals, but if it is done out of dualsitic ego software/ judgemental attitude it often does not help. So like Paul said, the person may be "trying to do good", but if he has dualsitic ego software, then he is "doing wrong". The only salvation from this dualsitic ego software is Vishnu/Allah/Tetragrammaton/ self transcendence/flow. In pure awareness/ intution/ Vishnu/ Tetragrammaton, you have full spectrum awareness and you are in the flow and what you do will automatically be what is best and most beneficial. You achieve a sort of oneness with all of existence and a profound intution, so whatever you do is perfect. Ritual practices and disciplines and spiritual study and other things like that can help somebody to attain the flow/ pure awareness/ full spectrum awareness/ delivery from dualsitic ego software to mutual participation/ oneness comprehensvitiy software.
Indra is the God of lightning and storms. There is a story in the Shiva Mahapuran where Shiva takes on the avatar of a boy. Shiva becomes a boy. The boy is told by Narad, the messenger of the Gods, that he will die at the age of 16. The boy then goes to worship a Shiva Linga so that he can live past the age of 16. Shiva then comes in the form of Indra and tells the boy "do not worship Shiva, worship me, I am Indra the king of the demigods".
If somebody worships Indra, that means that they are concerned with self protection/ self promotion. Indra is a descendant of the creator God Brahma. Lightning and storms are a part of the material creation. The material creation is a part of the sensory world. The flow/ Vishnu/ Shiva/ Allah is the transcendence of experience based/ calculative/ dualsitic thinking to intution/ inspiration/ pure awarensss. So worshipping Indra would entail being entrapped in focusing on sensory based/experience based rational thinking and not transcending to intution/pure awarness/ eternal life. Somebody would worship Indra if they want "rain" or they want the "lightning to stop". Worshipping Indra is focusing on self protection/ self preoccupation. The boy tells Shiva disguised as Indra "I will not worship Indra, I will only worship Shiva". Indra tells the boy "if you worship Shiva and don't worship me you will die". The boy says "I don't care if I die, I would rather die worshipping Shiva than be saved worshipping Indra". Shiva in the disguise of Indra then kills the boy but brings him back to life and tells the boy that he has been saved and he no longer needs to die at the age of 16. The boy had transcended the self/ dualstiic ego software. Jesus says "he who is willing to save his life will lose it, but he who is willing to lose his life for my sake will save it". The boy broke free of dualstic ego experiential based consciousness to Shiva/ the flow/ intution/ oneness/ awareness, and thus he was saved. Dualisitc ego software kills you, but transcendence of the ego to the flow brings prosperity and salvation and abundance.
In Homer's Illiad, the Trojans are destroyed by the Trojan horse. The Trojan horse itself is a metaphor of the desire for self protection/ self promotion actually destroys you. A Greek man tells the Trojans "I was a Greek soldier but the Greeks abandoned me, I want to join the side of the Trojans. I have a horse with me. I was told that whoever has this sacred carved horse cannot be conquered. Take this horse and the city of Troy will never be conquered and the Trojans will live forever". The Trojans think "wow that sounds like a good deal, we want to be immortal let's take the horse". The Trojans are focused on self preocupation. They want to be superior and live forever/ superior inferior dualistic ego software. Their dualsitic software actually ends up destroying them. Because they accept the horse into the city- the horse that was supposed to make them immortal, and little do they know the Greek who told them that he was on their side was just tricking them and the Greeks jump out from the horses stomach and they take the city of Troy down. As Jesus said "he who is willing to save his life will lose it."
There's a similar story in the Shiva Mahapuran, where Indra accepts a sage into heaven. Indra wants the sage to "ensure that heaven will never be taken down by the demons". Indra is focused on self preservation/ self preoccupation/ dualstic superior inferior ego software. Indra wants to be superior and have heaven forever. Ironically, Indra offends the sage and the sage tells Indra "now I curse you and I will make sure that the demons take over heaven". The strategy that Indra uses to ensure that he can never be taken down ironically backfires on him. The sage that Indra brought to heaven to protect heaven ironically empowers the demons to take over heaven. In Indra's preoccupation with saving his self he destroys his self. Very paradoxical but very true to reality.
I mentioned that Indra is one of Adittis sons. Aditti's sons are the demigods. Another one of Adittis sons is Surya, the Sun God. Worshipping the Sun God is looked highly upon in Hindusim for the most part, especially in the Smarta tradition, where they worship five Gods in the form of a quincunx/cross. The Smartas are one of the four denominaitons of Hindus, and they worship Surya. The Sun is metaphorical of the flow. The Sun seems to be pure energy/ light/ non material. It constantly gives like the flow. But the sun is not the flow/Vishnu/Allah/Tetragrammaton. The Sun God is a descendant of Aditti, who is a descendant of Daksha, who is a descendant of Brahma. Brahma is the creator God. Brahma is not worshipped because since he is a creator, he may have dualsitic superior inferior ego software- he thinks he is superior because of his creation. the Sun God is an aspect of the creation. The sun is a part of the sensory experience based world. The flow is transcendence of expereince based thinking to intuition/ the flow/ pure awareness.
There is another story in Shiva Mahapuran, where worshippers of the Sun God are destroyed. In the story, there is a King who is a Sun God worshipper. His clan goes out to find a horse, and they come across a meditating sage who is near the horse. They think the sage stole the horse, and blame the sage for stealing the horse. The sage tells them to not provoke his anger, that he is a worshipper of Shiva and that they are wrong in blaming him for stealing the horse. The sun God worshipping clan begin to throw rocks at the sage. The sage is hit by a rock in the forehead and immediately fire comes out of his eyes and consume the Sun God worshipping clan. The clan is smoldered by the flames. The King od the Sun God clan is informed that his clan had been burned to death by the sage who they wrongly accused of theft. The King decides that he must atone for the sins of his clan and in prayer beseech the Sun God to bring his clan back to life.
He tries to pray to the Sun God to bring his clan back to life but he dies. His son tries the same thing but he dies. His son tries the same thing and he dies. Finally Brahma tells the next son to worship Shiva and the Goddess the Ganges River will descend to Earth and wash over where his clan was annihilated and bring them back to life. The son worships Shiva and the Goddess Ganges river comes to Earth as the Ganges river and brings the clan back to life.
Now anybody who baptizes themselves in the Goddess Ganges River can be absolved of their sins. My Grandpa taught me that sinning comes from dualistic ego software/ not being in the flow.
Shiva has the Goddess Ganges river on his head. Shiva is auspiciousness. Shiva and Vishnu are one, but Shiva saves those who are wicked and brings them back to the flow. Baptism represents dieing to the old self and being reborn. Baptism represents dieing to dualsitci ego software to intution/ oneness. It represents a death and rebirth. Shiva saves the wicked from their sins/ dualstiic ego software/ experience based sensory thinking/ Sun God worship to oneness/ the flow. That is why the Goddess Ganges river is on Shiva's head. Baptism in the Ganges river is dieing to the self. Worshipping Shiva is dieing to the self. That's why the Goddess Ganges river is on Shiva's head. When one baptizes himself in the Ganges river, he is metaphorically dieing to his self and connecting with Shiva.
My Grandpa taught me that Paul said "salvation cannot come from works it only comes from grace". You cannot save yourself. The ego cannot transcend the ego. The self cannot transcend the self. For instance, somebody can fast in order to look righteous. Jesus talks about the people who "show off" when they are fasting. But my Grandpa taught me the reason you fast is, fasting helps one to recognize that they are not a physical body. My Grandpa told me everything is one- there is no thing. When you eat, that is a form of self confirmatory behavior. Dr. Thomas Hora, my Grandpas teacher, and the founder of metapsychiatry, talked a lot about self confirmatory behavior. When you eat, the food going into your stomach makes you think that you are a physical body. Women become pregnant, and thus it is possible that a preganant woman can fall more into the illusion that she is a separate physical body. When you fast, my Grandpa told me, you stop becoming hungry so much. Your body is not using energy to digest the food, you do not feel your stomach working. This helps you to realize that, as my Grandpa says "everything is one flowing energy event" and separation is an illusion. Your separate ego body is not being confirmed.
But when somebody fasts in order to show off, he is defeating the purpose of fasting because he is confirming the separate ego self.
So witht the ego, you cannot transcend the ego/ you cannot achieve salvation. That is why, my Grandpa told me, Paul says that salvation does not come out of the self, but through Faith. Faith is trust in the flow- the ability to let go of the ego self, according to my Grandpa.
Another example of how you cannot gain salvation from the ego with the ego is Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. Arjuna at the beginning of the Bhagavad Gita tells Krishna that he does not want to fight the Kauravas. Arjuna is a Pandava and the Pandavas are going to war against the Kauravas. However, the Pandavas and the Kauravas are related. Arjuna has friends and family on the side of the Kauravas. Arjuna does not want to not fight because he wants to be "non violent", like he proclaims. But he does not want to fight because he is attached to his friends and family. Maybe he has superior inferior dualistic software. Maybe he believes that because the Kauravas are related to him that they are superior/ superior inferior software, and thus he does not want to fight with them. Krishna tells Arjuna that he has to fight. Krishna is helping Arjuna to break free of his ego. You would think that not fighting a war would mean that you are "egoless" and free of ego. Arjuna thought that he was "doing good" by not wanting to fight. But as Paul said "the good that I would I do not". Arjuna was not doing good, he was just trapped in ego dualsitic experience based thinking and was not in the flow/ intution. Krishna represents the flow and he tells Arjuna to fight. Nithyananda says that Krishna claims to be God, but when he claims that he is trying to tell Arjuna and everybody else that they are God.
My Grandpa taught me that "you cannot get there from here, but only he who refuses to accept that, will discover that there is here". My Grandpa said that salvation is already here. He said that everything is already one, there is no self/ the self is an illusion- there is here- salvation is here. But he said only those who refuse to accept that, and push their heads up against the wall, will discover that. My Grandpa told me that "nothing gets you through the wall- so nothing will get you through the wall". My Grandpa told me that in the movie the DaVinci Code, the man in the movie finds himself in a well, and he fights and fights to get out and then miraculsously finds himself out of the well and he does not know how. My Grandpa said that throughout the movie, the man in the DaVinci Code is constanty trying to make things happen, and he is afraid of "losing control". He needs to control things. He "refuses to accept there is here". But in the well he lets go and he is saved. But he only lets go after he tries and tries to get out and discovers that doesn't work. The idea is the self cannot save the self- salvation only comes through grace. But that does not mean that you just "resign" and become "passive" and impersonal. Only he who refuses to accept that there is here- who pushes and pushes his head against the wall can finally let go and get through the wall- there is here/ discover there is no thing/ no thing gets you through the wall.
My Grandpa taught me that the garden of Eden represents pure awareness/ the flow. He said that the fruit from the tree of knowledge is the ego/ experience based/ calculated thinking/ strategies/ formulas. In the flow you work under inspiration/ intuition and everthing is perfect. It is like when I was younger. I did not know what I was doing when I shot the basketball. That was why a lot of people considered me the best shooter in the world. My Grandpa said that it is inevitable that people bite out of the fruit/ employ calculative ego based thinking. But ultimately one wants to return to the Garden/ pure awareness.
The Sikhs say that in the Ramayana, Rama represents "pure being awareness bliss"/ the flow/ intution/ inspiration. Sikhs say that Sita represents the person, like you or me. Sita loses Rama and is taken by Ravana. Sita loses pure awareness/ the flow. Ravana represents the ego/ strategies/ experience based thinking/ the self. Rama saves Sita from Ravana when Sita is kidnapped by him. The idea is, Sita did not save herself. You do not save yourself. The self cannot save itself from itself. The ego cannot save the ego. Only God/ grace, can save you, and the flow comes through good fortune, if you try to make the flow happen, you are not in the flow- because the ego cannot break free of the ego. That is why Rama/God/ pure awareness saves Sita.
My Grandpa told me that the story of Thor cross dressing, is a story of losing the flow/ pure awareness, and regaining it. In the story, Thor loses his hammer. A giant takes it. The giant wants Freya for his wife. Thor dresses up as a woman pretending to be Freya. My Grandpa said that Thor losing his hammer represents Thor losing the flow/ pure awareness. With Thor's hammer, Thor can do anything, like in the flow you are very powerful. When Thor dresses up as a woman, this represents ego strategies/ experience based dualsitic thinking. But in the end the hammer miraculously, the way the story is told, kind of just ends up in Thors hand. This represents the idea that "there is here". The flow is always there/ ego strategies are employed and that gives the illusion the flow/ the hammer is gone. But the flow is always there. Thor is no longer in his ego strategies and he is back in the flow/ pure awareness. The giants are killed.
My Grandpa told me that Batman and Bruce Wayne is also the self and the flow. Bruce Wayne is the self. Batman is the flow.
Jesus in the Bible says "be either hot or cold, not lukewarm, or I will spit you out". My Grandpa said that if you are luke warm you may just be in ego dualsitic software, but you will never get in trouble and thus never break out of it to the flow. Somebody can just go through the motions in the Church, and do what he does because he wants to be superior/ superior inferior software. Maybe he just does what he does to belong/ insider outsider dualsitic ego software. He has not transcended the self to salvation/ the flow. Jesus says "be hot or cold". If you are a religious fanatic, at least you will be mocked and laughed at and maybe even people will fight you. Yes religious fanatics have dualsitic ego software. But at least they will have a higher probability of getting themselves in trouble and recognzing the limitations of such software- and thus they have a higher probabilty of getting in the flow. The luke warm person just goes through the motions and stays in dualsitic ego software, and never has any pain to push him out of it because he gets social approbation from other luke warm people in dualisitc ego software. Similarly, a cold person who is a fanatic against religious people will also get himself in trouble and discover the limitations of his dualsitic ego software. My Grandpa told me that in the flow you are in inquiry/ self expansion, and you are not a religious fanatic, or a person who is fanatically against religious people, but you are in reserach and development and discovery.
Ganesha is an example of somebody in the Shiva Mahapuran who was a "fanatic". But out of his fanaticism he gained wisdom. Ganesha's elephant head reprsents wisdom. The elephant is seen as a very wise animal in Hindu culture.
After Sati kills herself, Shiva spends a long time in ascetiscism with no wife. Finally he marries Paravati wants a child, and she makes Ganesha out of clay. She goes to take a bath, and she tells Ganesha to guard the door to the place where she is taking a bath. Shiva comes and wants to see his wife. Ganesha stops Shiva and tells Shiva that he cannot come through. Shiva tells Ganesha that he is the Supreme God of the Universe and to let him through to see his wife. Ganesha refuses. Ganesha is a fanatic. He was told what to do and he is sticking to it. He does not bend or compromise. Shiva then cuts off Ganeshas head. Paravati comes out from her bath and sees Ganesha's head is cut off. Ganesha was a religious fanatic and he lacked discernment and discrimination. But at least he was not "luke warm" and he went all out, even to the point of his death. Paravati is upset and tells Shiva to bring him back to life. So Shiva gives Ganesha an elephants head. When you are a fanatic you get yourself in trouble. You can even get badly hurt. But you come out of this trouble with wisdom. That is why Ganesha now has an elephant head. He now has wisdom. If you want wisdom you can't be luke warm, but you have to go all out.
There is a story in the Bible about a religious fanatic named Phinehas in the Bible. In thestory of Phinehas, Zimri is an Israelite and a Mideanite named Cozbi have sex in the Tabernacle. The Mideanites worshipped Baal. Baal is a fertility God. Baal is an agricultural/fertility God. Thus Baal represents the ego/ self promotion/ self protection. Sex is often a form of self confirmation and self promotion/ dualistic ego software.
There is a story in the Bible about a religious fanatic named Phinehas. In the story of Phinehas, Zimri is an Israelite and a Mideanite named Cozbi have sex in the Tabernacle. The Mideanites worshipped Baal. Baal is a fertility God. Baal is an agricultural/fertility God. Thus Baal represents the ego/ self promotion/ self protection. Sex is often a form of self confirmation and self promotion/ dualistic ego software.
The desire to be fertile/ have children, is often linked to the desire to be superior/ superior inferior dualsitic ego software. Also, to worship an agricultural God would be to desire self protection/ self promotion. But according to my Grandpa the tetragrammaton is transcendence of the self/ the flow/ pure awareness/ oneness. Sex is an act that brings about physical pleasure. When you give yourself physical pleasure, you are confirming the illusion of the separate self, according to my Grandpa. Sex is not bad. According to my Grandpa, having children can be beneficial in that the children can help you to break free of your ego self/ self preoccupaiton. By raising children, this can be a creative project to help you to expand your awareness and evolve and grow. But sex for pleasure, according to my Grandpa is a form of self indulgence, and the separate self is an illusion. This is why Jesus says "fornicators will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven"/oneness/ pure awareness/ the flow. Although, salvation can come to anybody through grace and faith.
But Zimri has sex with the Mideanite woman, who is a Baal worshipper. Zimri and many Israelites are also worshipping Baal. They are focused on the ego self/ self promotion/ sense gratification. My Grandpa taught me that in the flow, you are in inspiraiton/ intuition, which transcends expereicne based thinking. Sex reduces your attention to sense pleasures in your gonads and ego body. A lot of times, when people have sex, they do it to "dominate" the sexual partner, or to be dominated. That is "top dog underdog dualitisc ego software". Sometimes women like to be choked during sex. That is predator prey dualistic ego software. The woman may like being the prey- she likes to have the dualsitic ego world illusion confirmed to her.
But the paradox is, people also may "not have sex", and be "abstinent" or "chaste" for ego reasons. That is why Paul says "salvation does not come from works but through grace". Somebody can decide to be chaste and show off how chaste he is, a work, but he still has superior inferior ego software and thus he is not saved- he just thinks that by having sex with no girls and being inferior he is superior. So the person may decide to "not fornicate" for ego motivations, but he is no different from the fornicator who fornicates for ego motivation purposes. They both have the illusion of the separate ego self according to my Grandpa. They are both exhibiting "self confirmatory behavior". Salvation is transcendence of the ego self to the flow. The flow is timelessness/the kingdom of heaven. My Grandpa learned about self confirmatory behavior from his teacher Dr. Thomas Hora, the founder of metapsychiatry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hora
My Grandpa received a PHD in psychiatry studying under Dr. Thomas Hora.
My Grandpa taught me that "behind every abberation there is a spiritual aspiration". In the case of Phinehas, I would say that his spiritual aspiration might have been to achieve oneness. Phinehas recognized that the Mideanites and the Israelites are really one, that there is no thing, that all separation is an illusion. So he wanted to have sex with Cozbi, the Mideanite Baal worshipper. Maybe Zimri also recognized that a lot of the Israelites were "self righteous" and that they looked down upon sex, but in a self righteous ego based way. Maybe a lot of the Israelites felt that they were superior/superior inferior ego software because they did not have sex. So maybe Zimri was trying to break those Israelites out of their frigidness. Regardless, as he was having sex with Cozbi, Phinehas charged at them and speared them together like a kabob with his spear.
Rabbis note that after Phinehas kills Cozbi and Zimri while they are having sex, there is a break in the Torah, which is out of the ordinary. Rabbis say the reason there is a break is because the tetragrammaton is contrary to violence. Violence is often the product of dualsitic ego predator prey software. My Grandpa told me that to kill somebody, one must narrow and restric his awareness to a very narrow and limited space, and one must usually function under narrow awareness. Although that is not always the case, it is possible to kill in the flow/ pure awareness, as is the case of Parashurama who I will get to later. But violence also conveys dualsitic ego predator prey software- top dog underdog software.
But, it should also be noted, that while there is a pause in the Torah, connoting that the tetragrammaton was contrary to the violence, Phinehas is rewarded by the tetragrammaton, and the tetragrammaton says that his descendants forever will be priests. There was a spiritual aspiration behind Phinehas killing them. Phinehas recognized that Baal worship was ego motivated. It was fertility/ agricultural worship, which is focused on the ego self- and the ego self is an illusion. Also Phinehas wanted to prevent sensual self indulgence. Sense indulgence calls attention to the ego body and narrows and restricts ones consciousness to his phyiscal gonads as opposed to broadening and expanding his awareness beyond the illusion of the ego body. Also the desire to procreate and have children may be due to the desire to be superior/ superior inferior ego software. For instance, women will sometimes cheat on their husbands with a "sexier guy" because they want "sexier children". If these women do this, they have superior inferior dualistic ego software. Their desire to have sexier children is their desire to be superior. They are not in the flow/ pure awareness, where the priority is not to confirm the separate self, but to engage in inquiry and mutual participation and expand the self and transcend the self.
Tetragrammaton worship can be ego based. So Baal worship emerges because Israelites recognize the tetragrammaton worshippers are full of it and not authentically in the flow. But Baal worship is ego based too. “Salvation does not come from works”. The flow cannot be attained by your own doing. If you are doing it you are not in the flow. The flow comes by grace, by accident, without your effort. The flow is beyond experience.
Let me explain to you all the story of Ganesha and Kartikeya and show you all how this story demonstrates that war is a concession to a work in progress, but at the same time war is represented as not completely holy. Kartikeya is the God of war. Ganesha and Kartikeya are brothers. Shiva gives birth to Kartikeya in order so that Kartikeya can kill a demon who took over heaven. The demon had received a boon from Brahma that he could only be killed by Shiva's son. Shiva's son is Kartikeya, the God of war. Shiva is the God of destruction, so war is related to Shiva. So it is no surprise that his son is the God of war. War is a huge part of human history. There is no time period on Earth where there has not been war. War is personifid by Kartikeya.
Shiva holds a contest with Kartikeya and Ganesha, that whichever one of them can traverse the Universe three times first will gain two wives. The wives are intellect and prosperity. Kartikeya has a fabulous conveyance, a peacock, so it would be expected that Kartikeya the God of War will beat Ganesha. Ganesha's conveyance is a rat.
But Ganesha is wise. He can "see the world in a grain of sand." Kartikeya actually starts to travel around the Universe. But Ganesha circles Shiva and Paravati. Ganesha says that Shiva is the Universe, so circling him three times is technically him circling the Universe. Shiva rewards Ganesha with the wives. Kartikeya determines that he does not want to live with Ganesha and Shiva and Paravati, and he travels far away from them. Kartikeya living far away from Shiva is a metaphor. While war is inevitable in the world, it is not particularly holy. A lot of war is based off of dualsitic ego software. So Kartikeya goes to live far away from Shiva- Shiva is transcendence of the ego- He is one with Vishnu (I have never heard anybody give this interpretation but it seems apparent to me).
In a similar vain, before Shiva and Paravati were married, Shiva didn't want to get married again. Shiva/rudra wanted to be a renunciate after Sati, his first wife, comitted suicide. The God of Sex, Kamadeva, tries to wake Shiva from his meditation to have sex with Paravati. The demigods wanted Kamadeva to help Shiva to have a son, because they knew the son would be the God of War Kartikeya, and the God of War would kill the demon Tarkasur who had taken heaven from the demigods.
When Kamadeva awakens Shiva from his meditation, Shiva evaporates Kamadeva with fire. Shiva kills the God of Sex. I think that this is allegorical of the idea that in the flow/ oneenss/ pure awareness/ Shiva/Vishnu/ Allah/ Tetragrammaton, sex/ sensual indulgence/ ego self confirmation is not important. That is why Shiva kills Kamadeva. Although Shiva resurrects Kamadeva, saying that he will exist in every human. The desire for sex is not something that is "bad". Shiva does not kill the God of Sex for good, although after he kills Kamadeva he does not allow Kamadeva to attain a physical form again, but just says that he will exist in creatures throughout the Universe. But Shiva does kill the God of Sex, and I think that is to also demonstrate that sex is not the flow. Sex often comes from dualsitic ego software. So sex is not something to be worshipped, which is why after killing Kamadeva, evaporating him with fire, Shiva does not bring him back to life in a physical form.
I want to reitterate that I have never heard anybody give these explanations to the Holy Scriptures. But they are pretty apparent to me. Worshipping Kamadeva would be like worshipping Baal. And in the Bible and in the Hindu holy scriptures, the fertility God/God of sex is contrary to Supreme God. Through the lense of transpersonal psychology, which my Grandpa taught me, this makes sense, because in transpersonal metapyschiatry, God is described as infinite/ pure awareness, whereas sex is often related to restricting of awareness and self confirmation.
In Greek mythology, the Goddess of sex, Aphrodite, is married to Hephaestus, the God of technology. My Grandpa taught me that technology has many beneficial qualities. Technology can be used as leverage to help free people from work, and thus people can spend more time in research and development/ expansion of awareness and creativity. But my Grandpa said that the Amish also rightly recognize that technology can be used as a means to to try to be superior/ superior inferior dualistic software. For instance, technology can be used in war to hurt people. The irony is that, an Amish person, if he has superior inferior dualistic ego software, can use his lack of use of technology to try to be superior/ superior inferior dualsitic software.
But the God of Technology is married to Aphrodite, the Goddess of Sex. Sex is related to the ego, and technology can be used for ego purposes. Technology can also be used for beneficial purposes however. Similarly sex is not "bad", but it can be used by somebody with dualstiic ego software as a form of self confirmation- and according to my Grandpa the self is an illusion.
The Goddess of Sex, Aphrodite, cheats on the God of Technology with the God of War, Aries. War is also related with the ego. It makes sense that the Goddess of Sex will couple with the God of War, because sex and war can both be connected with the ego/ self confirmation. Sometimes when women have sex they like to be dominated and men like to dominate/ predator prey dualsitic ego software. In the same way, in war, people tend to have dualistic ego software.
My Grandpa taught me that patriotism is not "good or bad". Patriotism can be a step in the right direction. One time a girl told me that she was attracted to people who were patriotic. My Grandpa told me the reason for that

My Grandpa taught me that patriotism is not "good or bad". Patriotism can be a step in the right direction. One time a girl told me that she was attracted to people who were patriotic. My Grandpa told me the reason that a woman might be attracted to a patriot, is the patriot is a part of something larger than himself. He is breaking out of self preoccuption and he is now becoming a part of a larger group. This is a part of his evolution. But still, the process of development and maturation does not end there. Patriotism can be a part of to ally enemy, dualistic ego software. Ultimately my Grandpa said that in mutual participation software, one is not just focused on his self and his group, but he loses himself in larger- global projects ad sees everybody and everything as one.
But the God of sex, Aphrodite, has sex with the God of War, Aries. They are caught in the act by Haphaestus and Haphaestus catches the in a net and shows all of the other Gods. But the other Gods don't feel bad for him and they want tohave sex with Aphrodite as well.
I described how Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha. Daksha wants Shiva to bow down to him. Daksha is the Father of the Goddesses who are the personificaitons of Modesty, Worship, Offerings, Oblations, Forgiveness, not Being Jealous, Devotion and other spiritual things. But Daksha wants Shiva to bow to him. But Shiva cuts off his head. That is because, as Paul says "you cannot be saved by works, but salvation comes from Grace". As my Grandpa told me, salvation is the transcendence of the ego, and you cannot transcend your ego with your ego- but ego transcendence to intution/ the flow/ insight only comes through grace. Some people think that by acting modest, or practicing devotion, or offering forgiveness, they will be saved. But my Grandpa taught me that if somebody practices devotion for ego motivations, with the belief that he is a separate individual self and with the desire to save his self and protect and promote his self, then his devotion is self confirmatory and only confirming the illusion of the separate ego self. Then he cannot be saved- he cannot attain the flow/Shiva/Vishnu/Allah/Tetragrammaton. That is why Shiva cuts off Daksha's head.
But Shiva gives Daksha a ram's head, after he cuts off his head. He resurrects Daksha, the meaning of Shiva resurrecting Daksha is, Shiva does not want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Oblations and offerings can be an effective ritual. Practicing the spiritual qualities as "Not Being Jealous" can be very beneficial. But if somebody just "acts not jealous" because he thinks that makes him superior/ superior inferior ego software, then he still is not saved. He has just memorized behavior that he thinks is righteous.
I remember I heard a rabbi say that a Jew, whenever he sees a beggar, should at least give the beggar a penny, something that he has. My Grandpa said that if the Jew does this in order to "be superior" and "please God" so that he can be "rewarded", that is superior inferior ego software and that just confirms the illusio of the separate ego self. If somebody gives out of a true awareness of oneenss/ Shiva/Vishnu/Allah/Tetragrammaton, then the giving came from inspriation/ intuition and it is beneficial. Giving to a poor person does not necessarily help the poor person. If the poor person is a drug addict for instance, it might actually hurt him, because he may use the money to buy more drugs. My Grandpa said however, that if giving to the poor person everytime you see him is done for the purpose of "performing that ritual" then it can be effective. My Grandpa taught me that any ritual is effective, because by comiting yourself to rituals, you take yourself out of your habits, circumstances, and other people. People become enslaved to their habits and circumstances, and having rituals can take you out of your circumstances and habits and other people, and by breaking out of your enslsavement to your habits, this can help you to have a higher propensity to get into the flow/shiva.
One of Daksha's daughters is Offering. Sacrificial offerings can be beneficial. Giving an offering is representative of letting go of what you are holding onto. Maybe somebody has a great desire to be superior/sueprior inferior ego software. That software can get him into a lot of trouble and thus block blessings in his life. For instance, that software might cause him to get in fights with people. He might want to hold onto his money and not give to the Church/temple/ synagogue, or whatever. But by giving a tithe/ making an offering, he is letting go of his attachment and thus breaking free of that dualtici ego software, and as a result opening himself more to the flow/ pure awareness/ transcendence of dualstiice ego software.
But again, somebody can give an offering in order to be seen. Muhammad BPBUH said "when you give to the needy, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing". If offering the oblation is done in order to be superior/ be seen by others/ boost your ego/ self confirmation, then it is not beneficial for the person- it is not connected to Vishnu/Shiva/oneness/Allah. That is why Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha. It is not that offering oblations is "wrong"- Daksha is not "bad"- but the spiritual qualities that Daksha embody are beneficial when they emerge from pure awareness/Shiva/oneness, and not from the ego self.
In the same manner, one of Dakshas daughters is Devotion/Bhakti. The Hare Krishna are Bhakti Yogis, in that they practice devotion to Krishna/ an avatar of Vishnu. My Grandpa told me that chanting Hare Krishna can be a great discipline/ritual. My Grandpa told me that any discipline/ritual is beneficial. My Grandpa told me that when you practice a ritual, this helps to break you free of your normal habits/habits of thinking, circumstances, and other people, so you do not get enslaved by these things. My Grandpa said it is important to have comitments so you do not just drift and are not just run by your habits, circumstances, and other people. My Grandpa said that chanting Hare Krishna Maha Mantra/devotion can be a great ritual. But my Grandpa told me that the benefit of the chant is that it helps free one from his thoughts. My Grandpa said that people constantly are thinking, and their thoughts are often shaped by their ego identities. People are constantly thinking of strategies they can use to boost their egos and manipulate their realities. By chanting Hare Krishna, you can free yourself of your ego thoughts and this can help you to attain pure awareness/ oneness/ Shiva/Vishnu.
So Daksha and his daughters are great- Devotion, Modesty, Intellect, Forgiveness, and all of these things are great. But they are most beneficial when they are a byproduct of Shiva/ oneness/ pure awareness/ intuition/ inspiration. That is why Shiva beheads Daksha when Daksha wants Shiva to bow to him.
Swamiji Nithyananda says "you are Krishna". Nithyananda claims that Krishna, when he claimed that was God, was claiming that everybody and everything was God. So if a person chants to Krishna imagining a separate entity, then it is a form of self confirmatory behavior, because there is no separate entity in existence- everything is one.
But I want to make it clear that somebody can memorize that "he is Krishna", but he is still focusing on the self. He has attached himself to this "belief". Now he may fight others who do not agree with him. He still has dualstiic ego software and is not in pure awareness/Vishnu/Shiva. Somebody may say "I am God" out of ego motivations. He may think he is superior/ superior inferior ego software. As a result he does not benefit from this "belief"
Greek mythology demonstrates that "sexual absitenence"/ "modesty" cannot save you. Modesty is one of Daksha's daughters. For instance, there is a Greek myth of the Goddess of Chastity and her disciples. The Goddess of Chastity has her disciples not have sex. But one of the disciples has sex. The Goddess of Chastity goes to kill that disciple, but Zeus saves the disciple from the Goddess of Chastity. Zeus represents the flow/ oneness. If you are abstinent for ego motivations/ for the purpose of trying to save yourself/ be superior/ superior inferior software, then it is no different from having sex out of superior inferior ego software. Maybe the disciple was in the flow/ pure awareness, and sex emerged out of the flow. That is why Zeus saves the disciple.
Also the Goddess of Chastity in Greek mythology at one point sits at the right hand of Zeus. But later the God Dionysus takes her spot at the right hand of Zeus. Dionysus is the God of Passion and Ecstacy, and his disciples sometimes have sexual orgies. Somebody can wonder, "how can the God of Ecstacy be higher than the Goddess of Chastity".
My Grandpa taught me that sex can raise ones level of aliveness. Also, religious ecstacy/Dionysus can raise ones level of aliveness. For instance, a lot of times in African Churches, the people are very ecstatic and jumping around. The flow is when somebdoy loses himself. Somebody can jump around for ego motivations, but regardless, that ecstatic behavior can raise somebody's level of aliveness and help to bring him to lose himself. As a result, somebdoy in religious ecstacy/ a high level aliveness can attain the flow/Zeus/pure awareness. He may even be more inclined to achieve the flow than a frigid person who is "chaste" for ego motivations. Somebody who is acting wild may do it out of ego motivations. But somebody can similalry follow the rules out of ego motivations. Both are controlled by the ego/ superior infeiror software- neither are in the flow. But the person who is breaking the rules might actually be more inclined to break free of the ego, because he may be more inclined to get himself in trouble and recognize the limitations of the ego- and thus he may have more of a desire to transcend to the flow/ intuition/ pure awareness/ inspriaton/Zeus Shiva. The people who worshipped Dionysus had sex orgies. For the most part sex orgies are performed for ego motivations. But regardless, there is no formula to get int he flow. Somebody who is chaste for ego motivations may not be worst than somebdoy who performs orgies for ego motivations. And in fact, the high level of aliveness of the people worshipping Dionysus may help them to achieve Zeus/ the flow easier. There is no formula. As Paul said "works cannot save you". The wicked and the just can both be saved from the ego. I would say it is probably more beneficial to worship Vishnu and act modest and not be depraved. To judge somebody is to have ego dualstic sueprio inferior software. You can discern that a Kali worshipper may be imprisoned by dualsitic ego software. But a Kali Worshipper can achieve Shiva/Vishnu/ the flow/ pure awareness/ intution as well. A Kali worshipper can transcend dualsitic ego software and attain Vishnu/Tetragrammaton, and so can a Vishnu worshipper. Probably a Vishnu worshipper would be more likely to, but it is not a guarantee.
In Greek mythology the God Pan is the only God who dies. Pan lives in nature. He is kind of like a hippie. Pan represents the desire to return to nature/ leave civilization. The reason Pan dies is because you cannot go back. A lot of people are unhappy with the modern world and they think the answer is to "go back" to simpler times. But my Grandpa says that God is the antientropic reordering function and is evolutionary. Existence is evolving and complexifying. To go back is not the answer, but to take what is best from the best and to transcend is the answer. That is why the God Pan dies. A lot of people want to "go back to nature" and "leave society behind". After the God Pan dies he is still venerated. It is benefcial to go into nature and to preserve nature. My Grandpa described how Whitman and other transcendenatlists in nature would find themselves free of their thoughts/ in the flow/ pure awareness. But the reason why Pan is the only Greek God who dies is because going back is not an option and possibility.
The story of Cain and Abel is a metaphor for the agricultural societies taking over the nomadic sheep herder socieites. Cain is an agriculturalist. Cain kills Abel, representing the agriculturalits killing the nomadic sheep herders. My Grandpa taught me that the agriculturalists killing the nomadic sheep herders was not "good or bad". It was an inevitable part of the evolutionary antientropic nature of existence. Societies evolve, life evolves, and the old ways are left behind. Some people want to go back to the old ways/ to being nomads. There is nothing wrong with that, but the answer is transcendence, not "going back".
In Greek mythology there are also myths about the agriculturalists killing the nomads. The Centaurs/ half horse half man, are horse riding nomads, and they are killed by the agriculturalists.
Babylonian mythology also has a myth that represents the agriculturalists taking down the sheep herders/nomads. In the story of Dumuzid/Tammuz, Tammuz is a sheep herder/ the God of sheep Herders and he has a sister who is the Goddess of Agricutlure. Tammuz is taken to the underworld by the Goddess of agriculture. Tammuz is killed by agriculture. In the same way Abel, the nomadic sheep herder is killed by Cain, the agricultrualist. It is the same story as Cain and Abel, just a different form. Also the Babylonians have the story of Adam and Eve, but Adam and Eve are represented as Gods.
In the Bible God gets angry at the Israelites for "worshipping Tammuz". I think that the worshipping Tammuz might have represented the Israelites desire to return to nomaidic sheep herding ways. But my Grandpa taught me that you cannot move back. God functions as an antientropic evolutionary force. New systems arise and they subsume the old systems. Once a new system emerges there is always the temptation to go back to the old, as opposed to transcend. Similarly now humanity is moving into a new age- an age of robots. Many people will want to move back to the old, as opposed to transcend.
The Bible represents Babylonian Gods, such as Tammuz, as characters like Abel. Abel is a shephard nomad who is killed by his agriculturalist brother Cain. Tammuz is a Shephard/nomad God who competes with his agricultural farmer brother Enkmidu for Inanna's hand in marriage. Innana favors Tammuz, like how God favors Abel in the Bible. Tammuz is killed/ taken to the Underworld by Innana. In the same vain, Abel is killed by his brother Cain, and taken to the underworld. The stories are metaphors for the agricultural revolution, where the agriculturalists killed the sheep herders/nomads.
The Hare Krishna say that God comes to Earth. Perhaps the adoption of these Babylonian myths into legendary narratives of real people, where Gods become men, experesses the idea that the transcendent is imminent. As Nithynanada says "Krishna is man". Or "Laxmi is women". In the Norse stories, it is said that Oden disguises himself as travellers, and people accept Oden into their homes and feed him and take care of him without even knowing he is Oden. My Grandpa told me that this expresses the idea that everything is one, everything is divine, anybody can be Oden. There is a Hindu story where a woman believes that she is the avatar of Laxmi. Therefore she refuses to marry any suitors because she only wants to marry Vishnu. Her parents are killed by the suitors, and the woman is ultimately killed by Ravana. But when she reincarnates, she is reincarnated as Sita, and she does marry Ram, the avatar of Vishnu. My Grandpa told me that this story can express the idea that every woman is divine. The woman claimed to be Laxmi/the divine, and she was correct. Muslims say that "Allah is transcendent, therefore a physical man cannot be Allah". But my Grandpa told me that the idea that we are "men", or that we are "physical" is an illusion- there is no ego/self body. According to the Vedanta Ramakrishna society, there is no physical world, but everything is "consciousness". My Grandpa says that everything is "energy or consciousness". My Grandpa said that Christian mystics and Muslim mystics say that God is apophatic. Apophatic means there is nothing you can say about God. For instance, you cannot say that God is "tall", or God is "good" or God is "bad" because this limits God to your conception and prejudices. Your "good" might be somebody elses "bad". So mysics say that you cannot say anything about God. Similarly, my Grandpa told me that people cannot really define what "consciousness" or "energy" is, so he said that consciousness or energy are good metaphors to describe God. My Grandpa said therefore, in a sense "you" are God, but ironically there is no "you". My Grandpa said that if you "believe this" then you place God in a container and reduce God. The Ramakrishna Vedanta society say that God is pure awareness/ being awareness bliss. So it does not help to "believe that you are God", but instead the hope is to "free your mind of all beliefs and attain pure awareness".
The story of Adam and Eve also resembles Babylonian mythology. Innana is in a Garden, like the Garden of Eden, and there is a tree in the Garden which she wants to make her throne. There is a serpent in the tree, however, like the serpent in the story of the Garden of Eden. Gligamesh kills the serpent. Also Lilitu was in the tree with the serpent. Jewish Rabbis claim that Eve was not the only woman in the Garden of Eden, but before Eve, there was a woman named Lillith who God made. Lillith wanted to be equal with Adam, so she was kicked out of the Garden. Gilgamesh kicks the serpent and Lilitu, out of the Garden. Lilitu represents Eve.
The Hare Krishna teach that "God is a person". They say that Muslims and Jews tend to be "impersonalists", believing that God does not take a form. My Grandpa says that he is a "transpersonalist". He said that he tries to see the deeper meaning in mythology.
For instance, there is a story in Vishnu Puran that Vishnu takes the form of a Fish. The Fish is in a container of water. The Fish asks Manu to protect him. The fish grows and Manu puts the fish in a larger bowl of water. The fish grows more and Manu puts the fish into a ditch of water. The fish grows more and Manu puts the fish into the ocean. I asked my Grandpa what the story might mean in a transpersonal perspective. He told me that the fish being put in progressively larger containers of water might represent the expansion of awareness to full spectrum awareness/ the ocean. The Hare Krishna will counter that the myth is literally true, and it does not just represent the expansion of awarness, that Vishnu literally did take the form of this fish. An impersonalist might counter that "God is energy and this myth is not true". The Ramakrishna society says "God is both impersonal and personal- God literally takes the Form of this Fish, and God is energy". Maybe the benefit of saying god is both a person and not a person is that it is oxy moronical and thus breaks you out of thinking/ logic- and pure awareness/ intution transcends logic. If you say that both are true then you cannot become attached to any one belief. But my Grandpa tries to look at things through a transpersonal perspective where he tries to find a deeper meaning.
Another example of a story where my Grandpa told me the transpersonal meaning is the story of Zeus castrating his Dad Cronus. A Freudian impersonalist might say the story is "merely a myth" that represents "man's subconscious Oedipal murderous desires". When I first heard the story, I thought the story might be a metaphor for the flow. Cronus represents time. Zeus castrates Cronus. The flow is timelessness/pure awareness/ the eternal moment. Zeus castrating Cronus represents the killing of time to the flow. I asked my Grandpa what he thought the story meant. A personalist would say "Zeus literally cut off the penis of his Dad Cronus". My Grandpa told me that old protective encloures always become outmoded. When a previous protective enclosure becomes outmoded, it must be transcendend to a new more expansive and flexible/freeing protective enclosure. Cronus kills his Dad Uranus. Uranus represents the old protective enclosure. Protective enclosures serve you, but they need to be outgrown. Cronus kills his Dad. Cronus has the son Zeus. Cronus is the new protective enclosure. Then Zeus kills his Dad Cronus. My Grandpa said that systems evolve, and what served the old system becomes outmoded and a new system emerges. For instance, monarchy makes way for democracy- so on and so fourth.

Another example of a transpersonal interpetation that my Grandpa shared with me was the story of Abraham. In the story of Abraham, Abraham sacrifices his son Issac. A personalist will take the story literally, and believe that Abraham literally was going to kill his son, but the hand of an angel stopped him in the nick of time. A Freudian impersonalist might discount the story, and say that it is a myth and merelly represents man's subconscious urges to castrate his son. My Grandpa told me that sacrificing Isaac represents dieing to the self. Abraham is told that in order for him to be the Father of a nation he must sacrifice his son. A man can use his son to boost his ego. A man can feel superior/ superior inferior dualsitic ego software for having a son/ many sons. Abraham has to sacrifice his son. He has to let go of his attachments. People might hold onto attachments because they make them feel superior/ superior inferior software. That same software gets people into trouble and blocks their blessings. That same dualstic ego software is not the flow/ intuition/ pure awareness. That software can cause people to get in fights, and can bring people trouble. Abraham had to break himself free of his attachments/ Issac/ his son. My Grandpa said that when people give tithes, they are similarly letting go of attachments. Maybe they hold onto their money because they want to be supeiror/ superior inferior software. That software can get people in trouble, and is not the flow. Jews say you do not want to give up all your money and become destittue. But by giving ten percent, this helps break you free of your dualistic ego software, so you can be more open to the flow/ be a free conduit of energy.
There is a story in the Shiva Puran, where Shiva is offering 100 lotus flowers to a Shiva Lingam as he meditates in front of the Shiva Lingam. Shiva takes the 100th flower without Vishnu realizing it. As a result, Vishnu takes a spear to pluck out one of his eyes and offer his eye as the 100th lotus flower to Shiva. I asked my Grandpa what the meaning of Vishnu cutting out his eye was in a transpersonal perspective. My Grandpa told me that it represented "breaking free of dualistic software, cultivating the single eye of discernement- oneness consciousness beyond duality". Vishnu in his meditation transcended the ego and attained Shiva/pure awareness/ oneness consciousness. Shiva grabs Vishnus hand before he cuts out his eye, like how the angel grabs Abraham's hand before he sacrifices Issac.
My Grandpa taught me that in the Bible it says "nobody looks upont he face of God and lives". My Grandpa said that the face of God is the flow/ pure awareness/ oneness. When you attain this oneness consciousness the separate self dies/ the ego dies. You do not literally die, but you die to your self. The Bible says "be still and know that I am God". Yogananda describes that when you achieve the ultimate "stillness"/ pure awareness/ being awareness bliss, through meditation, then you know God.
The Mormons teach that in heaven people will have wives. But my Grandpa told me that Jesus said in the Bible that "in the Kingdom of God you will not get married or be given into marriage". My Grandpa said that the Kingdom of God is pure awareness/ the flow. My Grandpa said that in the flow there is no self, there is no illusion of separate selves. My Grandpa said that marriage is a concession/ protective enclosure to protect people from their immaturity/ dualistic ego software. Many people have predator prey dualitic ego software, and so they want to have sex with as many women as possible and prey on women in order to satisfy their sexual urges. My Grandpa said that sex is a form of self confirmation, confirming the illusion of the separate ego body through physical sensation. In the Kingdom of God/ pure awareness, there is no marriage, there is no thing- there is only bliss/ non attachment/ transcendence of dualsitic consciousenss to intuition/ pure awareness. My Grandpa told me that the Mormon Church tends to be focused on "self salvation"/ salvation of the separate self. But my Grandpa told me that Jesus taught "transcendence of the self". My Grandpa said that the Mormon Church has food storages and all types of stuff in case of "armageddon", because their primary concern is the salvation of the separate self, and protection of the separate self. But Jesus taught to transcend the self to the flow/ pure awareness.
My Grandpa taught me that there is nothing wrong with protecting yourself/ dualsitic ego software, but it is limited- and you inevitabley confront the limitations. For instance, when I played basketball when I was younger, I was not aware of what I was doing. I had no plans. I was completely spontaneous. If I wanted to protect myself I would have been thinking a lot and trying to calculate how I shot the ball, so on and so fourth. But I ws very good because I was not aware of my self. For instance, if a player has superior inferior software when he is playing, he might really want to win and be supeiror to the team he is playing. But that same software might make him jealous of his own teammates, and might make him a ball hog. He cannot be n the flow. A player in the flow will play perfectly because he is not trying to be superior or inferior, but he is completely in the zone and playing perfectly- he has lost his self. My Grandpa told me that Bill Russel, an NBA player who won 11 NBA championships, not only wanted his teammates to do well, but he wanted the other team to do well. He said he was not concerned about winning/ supeiror inferior ego software, but he wanted to excel, and he knew that if the other team excelled this would help him to excel. He wanted the game to be like a beautiful symphony, so he didn't just root for his own team, he rooted for the other team. As a result, he is considered by many to be the greatest player of all time. He had transcended dualsic software to mutual participation/ oneness consciousness/ the flow.
My Grandpa told me that in the Illiad the warriors were very concerned with "gaining personal glory". My Grandpa said that in the stage of development/ evolution, there is a time when selfishness is appropriate. For instance, he told me that a young man in high school will want to gain the respect of his peers by being the "best at what he does". He might want to be the best basketball player, or the best drummer, or get the most girls, or whatever. My Grandpa told me that this is appropriate, and at the time of the Illiad, it was appropriate for these men to be focused on gaining personal glory. But ultimately dualsitic ego software is limiting. As I pointed out, if you are on a basketball team and you are just focused on being superior/ superior infereor ego software, and you are not in the flow/ self transcendecne, then this might bring about conflict with your fellow teammates. My Grandpa told me "the ego is magnificent in its accomplishments, but it is ultimately limited in its reach". If you are to truly excel, the ego has to be transcended.
My Grandpa told me the metaphor of a bird he saw on the Discovery Channel. My Grandpa said that this bird is not big enough to get out of its nest. But the bird eats and poohs and eats and poohs and pooh accumulates in the nest. The Pooh builds up in the nest and the bird uses the pooh as a mount to get out of the nest and fly. My Grandpa said that the pooh is memoried experience based knowledge/ strategies. People build up and accumulate this memorized content. My Grandpa said that inspiration is the synergy that emerges from the combination of experience based thinking, where something emerges that is greater than can be anticipated from the sum of its constitutent parts. My Grandpa told me that Einstein said "sometimes you exhaust all resources, then perhaps when eating an apple, the answer taps you on the shoulder and says 'here I am'". My Grandpa said that sometimes you have to try a lot of ego based experience based strategies and knowledge until you can transcend it to inspiration/ intuition/ the flow. He said "you cannot get there from here, but only those who refuse to accept that will discover that there is here". Inspiration/ insight/ intuition is when you transcend experience based thinking to the flow. My Grandpa told me that God is the flow.
Here is the story of the Greek Goddess of Hunting Artemis and the hunter Actaeon seen in a transpersonal lense. In the Greek myth of Actaeon, Actaeon is hunting with his hunting dogs. Actaeon sees Artemis bathing naked, and he is told that if he speaks, then he will be turned into a stage and killed. He speaks to call his hounds, and he is turned into a stag and his own hounds rip him apart.
The meaning of the story could be the idea what Jesus said, "if you live by the sword, you die by the sword." Actaeon was a hunter, and therefore he had predator prey ego software. When you see the world as composed of predator prey, dualsitic software, then you attract that reality into your life. He had predator prey dualsitci ego software, and as a result he was killed.
There is a story in the apocryphal gospel of Thomas that a boy bumps his shoulder into the child Jesus while Jesus is walking. The boy then is killed. My Grandpa said that the story is a metaphor of software. The boy had predator prey, top dog underdog ego software. He was looking for fights, he wanted to be dominant. He wanted to be the top dog, and his software lead to the actions he took, such as bumping his shoulder into other boys. As a result, he is killed. If you live by the sword you die by the sword.
I was thinking as I write this that the story of Actaeon may also be a metaphor of "seeing the Face of God and dieing". Actaeon sees the divine, and having so much input can be overwhelming. If you are not prepared to have such an encounter with the infinite, it can tear you apart/ you can go crazy. There are other Greek myths where people have sex with a Goddess and they discover afterwards that the person they had sex with was a Goddess and they fear for their lives. This may also be a metaphor of, when you achieve full spectrum awareness/ contact with the divine, it can bee too much to handle.
There are other Greek stories that portray hunting in a negative light. There are stories where hunters will turn on each other, and commit adultery with each other and are killed. Hunting can entail is predator prey dualistic ego software. Not necessarily, however. A person can hunt as a meditative ritual. But in a lot of cases, hunting involves dualsitic predator prey software. Adultery also involves predator prey dualsitic ego software. I think that is why in the Greek myths the hunters commit adultery and kill each other and chaos occurs around them. People commit adultery to prey on other peoples spouses. The adulterer may have superior inferior dualsitic ego software. Maybe he wants to be superior to the other man, and have sex with the woman he is married to. Adultery narrows the consciousness to the ego self, as opposed to expanding and widening awareness to full spectrum awareness/ oneness. The software/ consciousness involved in hunting carries forward to the people's destruction. In the flow/ pure awareness/Shiva Vishnu/Allah, a person sees the oneness of everything, and as a result has compassion and respect for all living things.
There is a story in the Shiva Mahapuran about a hunter who is hunting deer that is saved by Shiva. Salvation is transcendence of the ego. The man is on a tree branch with a bow and arrow and he is hunting deer. He does not know that there is a Shiva Linga below the branch. Whenever he jostles the branch leavs fall on the Shiva Linga. The Shiva Linga then radiates and prevents the man from shooting the deer. The man starts to think "that deer who I am about to shoot has a Mom and Dad". In a supernatural manner the deer speaks to him and tells the man that he has a Mom and Dad. The man continues to hunt the deer on the branch, and leaves continue to fall on the Shiva Lingam. He sees another deer and the deer supernaturally speaks to him telling him that she is looking for her daughter. The man cannot shoot the deer. Finally Shiva appears to the man and the man bows to Shiva and tells Shiva that he will no longer hunt. Shiva represents the flow/ pure awareness/ oneness. The man is saved from his dualsitic predator prey ego software, and he is saved from his ego to pure awareness/ oneness awareness.
It is interesting that in Judaism, hunting deer is also forbidden. In Judaism, you can only eat animals that chew their cud and have cleft hooves. Therefore, you are allowed to eat cows. My Grandpa taught me that Kosher laws are rituals that help people to have respect for all creatures/ see the oneness of all things. Similarly the Amerindians, when they would kill animals, would respect the animals, and had rituals to offer gratitude for the animals. The rituals help to cultivate transpersonal consciosuness/ seeing the oneness of all things, and help to break people out of predator prey ego software. My Grandpa told me that he read a book about a man who worked in a chicken factory, and he had the people who killed the chickens sing as they killed the chickens. The ritual practice helped to encourage people to have gratitude and break free of impersonal consciousness to transpersonal consciousness. Even though they were killing, they could raise their consciousness beond the impersonal.
But Jesus says "it is not what goes into your mouth, but what comes out that makes you unclean." If somebody choses to not eat meat to be superior/ superior inferior ego software, then it does no benefit. I listened to a rabbi describe how one of the Jewish sages told people not to brag or boast about eating kosher. Or to say things like "eating pigs is gross", but instead to just be grateful to Hashem that you follow Kosher laws. By "not eating unkosher food" you are not saved. Practicing the ritual can be beneficial, but if it is done with ego motivation, then you are still confirming the illusion of the separate ego self. The self cannot save the self from itself- salvation/ ego transcendence comes by Grace.
I asked my Grandpa why Jews say "Baruch Hashem"/ praise God. Jews are supposed to say Baruch Hashem many times a day. My Grandpa told me that if a Jew says Baruch Hashem with ego software, believing that God is a separate entity that will be happy and reward them for "kissing his butt", then it would have no benefit. My Grandpa told me that Hashem is oneness/ the flow. You could say Baruch Hashem with dualistic ego software/ to be superior/ to show off to others how righteous you are, and a s a result you are confirming the illusio of the separate ego self. But my Grandpa told me that saying Baruch Hashem can be a good ritual. My Grandpa told me that any ritual is effective, in that it helps to break one out of his habits, circumstances, and other people that he is ensleaved by. The flow is freedom and flexibility, and if you are imprisoned by habits,, circumstances, and other people you are not in the flow. My Grandpa said that saying Baruch Hashe is also a ritual in gratitude. My Grandpa told me that if somebody is grateful, then he is more open, and more free flowing. A grateful person is more liberated/ free than a miserable person. If you go into a basketball game miserable and moping around, you will be unlikely to get caught up in the flow. But if you go into the game alive and energetic, then you will be more likely to get caught up in the flow. This was the "transpersonal perspective"
My Grandpa taught me the idea of the Sabbath through a transpersonal perspective. My Grandpa told me that the Sabbath is supposed to be a "day of rest". The flow is rest. When you are in the flow, everthing you do is perfect, and you do not have to try- it is automatic. It does not mean that you do not "do anything", but what you do is effortless and perfect. My Grandpa said that in basketball, for six days you work. For six days you shoot shots everyday. The idea of the sabbath is, after all of that work, you reach the point where what you do is automatic, you do not have to try. The shots go in and it is effortless.
I told my Grandpa that there is a rule where you are not supposed to separate certain foods on the Sabbath. My Grandpa told me that this was a metaphor of maintaining "oneness". The flow is oneness/ pure awareness.
I asked my Grandpa if it mattered if you follow the Sabbath on Saturday or Sunday. My Grandpa told me that the Sabbath is a metaphor for the flow. So it does not matter if you literally follow it or not. But he said that any ritual is beneficial. Any ritual takes you out of habits, circumstances, and other people. So if the Seventh Day Adventists adopt the ritual on Saturday, then that is to be respected. People who are Seventh Day Adventists may have superior inferior ego software, and think they are superior. My Grandpa told me to respect people where they are at. You don't need to try to change people. But if you are open to intution/ inspiraiotn/ have cultivated the flow, you react as a beneficial presence in any situation. There is no formual for the flow. Sometimes it is most appropriate to put somebdoy in prison to protect his self and others from his primitive software. Sometimes it is most appropriate to do other things. There is no formula in the flow.
In the story of Narasimha, Hiranyakashipu gains a boon from Shiva after performing severe austeriries that he cannot be killed "during night or day, inside or outside, or on Earth or in space". He thinks he is therefore immortal. But he tries to destroy the world and kill his son Prahlad, who is a worshipper of Vishnu, and Vishnu kills him at twilight (nether night or day), on th threshold of a door (neither inside or outside), and on his lap (neither on Earth or space). My Grandpa told me that this is a metaphor of the transcedence of duality.
The Aish orthodox Jews teach that the story of the Tower of Babel ocurred, but not in the way that most people think. Most people think that everybody in the world spoke one language originally, and the tower of Babel is a metaphor of the original single language being divided.
But the Aish orthdox Jews say that there were many different peoples at the time of the Babylonian. Aish Orthodox Jews are conservative, and they see the Tower of Babel as a "globalist attempt" to try to force different peoples to speak one language. The whole world spoke one language not because there was only one lanugage, but because the people in the Empire that produced the tower of Babel forced all the different people to speak one language. The Aish Orthodox Jews say that the people who made the tower of Babel were imperialists who conquered many different peoples and forced them all to speak one language. That was why the whole world spoke one language.
The irony is a lot of liberals think the story of the tower of Babel story in the Bible describes that everybody was originally united as one and in peace, speaking one language. They think the Tower of Babel represents that originally all people were one and connected, but they got segemented when they tried to build the tower to God. But the Conservative Orthodox Jews at Aish say that the story illustrates a different idea, that there were many separate people, and the Empire that created the tower of Babel tried to force the separate people all to integrate and have one language, and the effort failed, and all the people were separated again and went back to speaking many different languages.
The tower of Babel represents the Ziggurats in the Babylonian Empire- an Empire that tried to conquer many peoples and force them to all speak one language. The Ziggurats were tall towers that tried to reach to heaven. The Babylonian Empire fell, and their attempt to unify the world under one language and culture was not successful. Some historians think that the Tower of Babel story may be a an allegory of the Babylonian Empire, an Empire that tried to conquer and subdue many different peoples and force them to all speak one language.
The Aish Orthodox Jews want to maintain their separate culture, and they don't want to be forced to "integrate". They think that diversity is important, and thus they look at the "liberal, globalist" agenda as having negative motivations- trying to "force" people to let go of their separate cultures and languages and unify as one.
My Grandpa told me that it is true, that the tower of Babel story might represent a "forced attempt of creating oneness". My Grandpa told me that the flow is "pure awareness"/ oneness. But my Grandpa told me that "you cannot force the flow". The flow needs to be authentic- it needs to emerge naturally- it cannot be forced. When I played basketball and I was in the flow, there was no mistaking it. I was not aware of my body- I lost myself. I could try to "mimmick" the way that looked, but it is unmikstakable when somebody is trying to force the flow. You cannot force oneness/ transcendence of the self.
The tower of Babel falls. You cannot "force your way to God/ the flow/ oneness".
But I read in a Chabad book that rabbis say that in the Babylonian Empire, the idols really did have potent spiritual power, and many Jews did worship the idols because the idols truly were spiritually potent. According to the rabbis, the reason why these idols were powerful, was because the Babylonians wrote the name of God, the tetragrammaton, on the idols. According to the Rabbis, the idols were only effective when the tetragrammaton was written on them.
I asked my Grandpa what it meant that the name of the tetragrammaton was on the idols. My Grandpa told me that there was a spiritual aspiration behind the Babylonians attempt to unify all people and all nations to worship their idols. The spiritual aspiration was to create oneness/ unity. The Babylonians wanted to create oneness/ unity/ the flow. The name of the tetragrammaton represents te flow/ oneness. However, the flow was not authentic. You cannot force the flow- you cannot force oneness. As a result, the Babylonians were not successful, although there was a spiritual aspiration in their effort. The tetragrammaton/ oneness was a part of their effort.
There is a story in the Bible about a rebellion against Moses by a group of Israelites. The Aish Orthodox conservative Rabbis say that Korah was a communist. The Aish orthodox Rabbis are conservative, so they are opposed to liberalism and communism/globalism.
According to Aish Orthodox Rabbis, sages describe that Korah saw that Moses was leading the Israelites. Korah said to himself "aren't we all equal, yet Moses has created a hierarchy and has put himself above us. Let's rebel against him". According to the Aish orthodox Rabbis, this was one of the original Marxist uprisings. The Earth swallows Korah and he is killed.
My Grandpa told me that Korah had "superior inferior/ equal dualsitic ego software. Korah believed "everybody is equal". Korah was still focused on the self. But my Grandpa said that the self is no concern- there is no self. There is no "superior, inferior, or equal", there is no thing. My Grandpa said that trying to make everybody equal is at least a step beyond predator prey, or top dog underdog dualsitic ego software. Trying to make verybody equal at least is cooperation ego software, which is beyond impersonal dualsitic ego software. But when you are in the flow, you are not "trying to be equal", or focused on who is superior or inferior, but you are engaged in mutual participation/ projects larger than the self and you lose yourself. When you are thinking of being equal, or superior, or infeiror, you are still focused on the self. But when you are engaged in mutual participation/ projects larger than the self, you lose your self. The flow is beyond the impersonal and beyond the interpersonal to the transpersonal- the transcendence of the self.
My Grandpa told me that Korah was incorrect in that legend. The fact of the matter is "not everybody is equal". Some people are good at puzzles, some people are not, some people are physicallystrong, some people are not, some people are physically symmetrical, and some people are not. People have different strengths and proclivities. But my Grandpa said that "everybody and everything is one". Everybody and everything is "in the body of Christ"- one in the antientropic evolutionary functionings of existence.
In the same manner, in the story of Lillith, Adam's first wife, Lillith wants to be "equal to Adam". Therefore she wants to have sex on top of Adam. Adam refuses, and so Lillith says the name of the tetragrammaton and flies away. Lillith was still functioning within the interpersonal. She still had "superior inferior/ equal" softwware. Believing people are equal is still within the superior inferior framework, but equality is in the center of the continuum of supeiror and inferior. There is a spiritual aspiration in Lillith wanting to be equal to Adam. She is right, Adam isn't supeiror to her, but she isn't superior to him- but they also aren't equal. She has to move beyond the interpersonal/ special relationship/ desire to get along, and move towards oneness software/ mutual respect/ transcendence of the ego self to the flow- where the self is not your focus and concern but instead inquiry and self expansion and evolution is the primary motivation. Then "who gets to have sex on top" would not be ones focus. But Lillith never transcnds the interpersonal consciousness. Her desire to break free of being "inferior"/ superior inferior ego software was a step in the right direction. But she never completely transcended the dualsitic ego software to onenesss/ transperosnal/ mutual participation software where the relationship is not her focus and her self is not her focus but instead there is transcendence of the self/ inquiry/ Vishnu/Shiva/ oneness/ the flow/ as Jesus said "Being about my Father's business".
I described how the flow cannot be faked. You cannot use the ego to transcend the ego- the flow/ salvation only comes through grace. I think that the story of Nahab and Abihu in the Bible might be a story of "faking the flow".
I described how the flow cannot be faked. You cannot use the ego to transcend the ego- the flow/ salvation only comes through grace. I think that the story of Nahab and Abihu in the Bible might be a story of "faking the flow".
In the story of Nahab and Abihu, the two men offer a "strange fire" to the Lord, and they are killed. A fire is metaphorical of the flow. A fire is pure energy. The Hindus saw fire as a very high God. The Zoroastrians worshipped fire as well. Because fire is still yet still moving, and radiant energy, it represents the flow.
But Nahab and Abihu offer a "strange fire" and are killed. I think that the strange fire is a metaphor of "faking the flow". I described that when I was younger, before my Dad got me the shootaway machine in the seventh grade, I was considered by many to be the best shooter in the nation. When I was around the age of 10 many people said I was the best basketball player in the nation. I won an AAU national championship and got fourth place twice. When I looked at videos of when I was younger, I saw how I was constantly moving, and I was not even aware I was moving. I was like fire. And everything that I did was pure and perfect, yet it was spontaneous and I didn't plan out anything- it was all automatic. To be honest, there are only a few NBA players who I have seen who were like that, one of which was Michael Jordan. But honestly, I'm not sure Michael Jordan was at that level. But that "flow" cannot be memorized. You can try to duplicate it, but it would be "strange". Sure, it might be a good ritual to try to duplicate it, but I was unconscious. I wasn't "trying to produce that flow". It just emerged. I was outside of myself- I was beyond myself- I was tapped into a harmony that was transcendent. Sure I practiced all the time and played all the time, but I was in a state of pure freedom and perfection always. That is the "true fire". But anything else is a "strange fire", not acceptable to the Lord. You cannot fake pure awareness.
Conformity is not the flow. A lot of times people conform in order to "belong". Belonging is insider outsider dualistic ego software. People want to belong in order to be insiders. But also nonconformity is not the flow. Nonconformity becomes a new form of conformity. People conform to non conformity. They "try to not belong", and then the "nonconformists" form their own group of nonconformity where you have to conform to nonconformity. Conformists and non conformists are still focused on the ego self. They have not transcended the self.
When I was considered the best shooter in the nation, it was because I did not conform. I actually shot different than most coaches teach to shoot. I shot very sideways. If I conformed and shot "square" like most Coaches at that time taught, I would not have been the best shooter in the nation. But at the same time I was not "nonconforming". I was not "trying to disobey the Coaches". I just shot the way that I shot- it worked, I made the most shots out of anybody that way- I was in the flow. I was not even really aware of what I was doing. I had no formula. I didn't even know how my feet looked or how I looked. Yes, my Dad told me "don't listen to Coache's, shoot sideways how you shoot", and that helped a lot me becoming a victim to nonconformity. My Dad was asked to play for the Olympic water polo player team. He knew how a lot of times Coaches don't know what they are talking about. But it was not that I was "nonconforming"- I was just alligned with the flow/ perfection. It was almost as if it was not me doing what I did, it was the flow. That is not a "strange fire", that is the "true fire".
There is nothing wrong with "conformity". My Grandpa would tell me "before one can allign with the Order, with a capital O, one must first serve an apprenticeship to orders". But conformity is not the flow.
Let me illustrate the idea of a "strange fire" with a few possible expamples. The Hare Krishna wear orange. The reason the Hare Krishna wear orange is, the color is supposed to represent a fire. The orange outfit is supposed to represent that the Hare Krishna have "burned away their desires". When you are in the flow you are not goal oriented/ you are free of desires- but you are completely open to intutiion/ inspiration, where you do not do your will but you do the Higher Will/ the flow. When you ar in the flow you are not attached to the outcome/ making things happen/ forcing things to happen, but you are receptive to discernment.
But recently I lisened to a lecture by one of the leaders of Hare Krishna HD Goswami, and he said that in his opinion, wearing the appropriate attire, is not important. He said, that, in his view, many Hare Krishna wear "Hindu" attire in order to see exotic/ cool/ be superior/ superior inferior ego software. When you have superior inferior ego software, you are attached to desires and outcomes. You are attached to goals that you think will make you superior, and when you are attached to anything, then you are shut off from higher inspiration/ the flow. Moses was called "the most humble man". Moses was not "trying to make things happen"/ attached to anything, but he was in union with divine inspiration and was completely alligned in the flow. He was empty of his self. Being free of desire does not mean that you are "impersonal". In the case of Brave Heart, perhaps Brave Heart was moved by inspiration to go to war with the British, as a part of the antietnropic evolutionary process of existence to bring about more freedom and democracy. In the case of Arjuna, Krishna told him to fight, and he obeyed. They were not "recluses"- the followed no formula- they did what the divine/ their inspiration/ divine intution told them to. The difficulty is distinguishing divine inspiration from feelings/ emotions/ impulses.
HD Goswami said, that in his opinion, he thought that many Hare Krishna use the "special clothes" so that they could belong/ be a part of the club/ single out the iniders/ insider outsider dualisitc ego software. I described that the ego is "magnificent in its accomplishments", but limited in its reach. Belonging can be important. Fitting in can be important. The desire to be superior/ superior inferior dualsitic ego software can be beneficial. If you desire to be superior that might cause you to shoot five hundred shots at the gym. That will help you to be more prepared to be in the flow. But dualsitic ego software is also limiting. If you are solely focused on being superior, then in the game, your teammate might be open, for the game winning shot, and he would make it, but you try to shoot it instead because you want to be superior, and you lose. But in the flow, you are connected to higher intuition/ pure awareness and everything you do is perfect, so you will shoot when appropriate, and pass when appropriate. Ultimately, the ego is limited, and the greatest things emerge from transcendence of the self to higher inspiration where the ego self is lost. I wasn't even aware of what I was doing/ how I was moving when I was considered the best player in the nation. I was outside of myself.
So the orange clothes of Hare Krishna is supposed to represent fire/ the burning away of desires. But just because you wear orange, does not mean you are in the flow. If you are not in the flow, but pretend to be, that is a "strange fire"- the fire that killed Nahab and Abihu.
A Hare Krishna may try to be "inferior in order to be superior"- that is still superior inferior dualsitic ego software. That is still the flow. The Hare Krishna member might feel that by "living in poverty", he is superior. He is still focused on himself. He has not "let go of all desires". He still has the desire to be superior, but he thinks that by being inferior he is superior. That would be a "strange fire". The Hare Krishna member might "memorize a doctrine" in order to be an insider/ insider outsider dualsitic ego software. As a result he would not be open to insight/ inspiration/ the flow. I met a Christian who said that "he believes what the Bible says, literallly and thats all- the Bible says Adam and Eve were literal historical figures they were". First off, the Bible never says they were literal historical figures. But second off, such an attitude would be "superior inferior ego software". The person would think that being "simple" in his beliefs makes him "superior"/ being inferior makes him superior. Now he is not open to inspiration/ insight, but he clings to a doctrine that supports his ego structure. He might claim to be "in accordance with God and his word" but that would be a "strange fire". Somebody might "give to the poor" in order to go to heaven/ be superior/ superior infeiror ego software. I heard a rabbi say that a Jewish sage said, when you give to the poor, don't even act as though God sees you because that is selfish. That same desire to be superior might be used to hurt somebody and make him poor in the first place. For instance, you might gossip about somebody in your desire to be supeiror/ superior inferior ego software, and that might hurt the person you gossip about and he may end up poor. Also superior inferior ego software can make you poor. You might fight with your boss when he tells you to do something because you want to be "superior"/ top dog underdog dualsitic ego software. That is a strange fire- it is not the flow. Certainly in the flow you might decide to quit your job if you intuit that your boss has primitive ego software and it is not the best plae for you. But in the flow you do not act out of ego, but out of discernment and clarity and inspiration/ oneness consciousness.
Jews are supposed to wear kippas. A kippa is supposed to represent that you are "under God". The kippa goes on your head. If you are under God, that means you are in the flow/ oneness/ pure awareness. But if a Jew wears a kippa to be superirior/ superior inferior ego software, then he is not in the flow. That same software might cause the Jew to "have sex with a woman outside of marriage who is married" in order that he can feel "superior" in his "conquest". Or in the same vain, the Jew might "not have sex at all" so that he can "go to heaven" and be superior/ superior inferior ego software. Either way, it is not the flow. Ultimately, as Paul said, there is nothing you can do to save yourself- the ego cannot be used to transcend the ego. Salvation/ the flow only comes through grace. If you try to be in the flow- you aren't in the flow.
My Grandpa told me that "wearing a kippa can be a good ritual". My Grandpa said that he thinks that groups like the Hare Krishna and Jews and Muslims, who have a lot of rituals, are very beneficial, because he said that rituals help to break people out of their "habits, circumstances, and other people". My Grandpa said many people are imprisoned by habits, circumstances, and other people, and rituals help to break people free of the deadening routine and thus free a person to be more in the flow. Also, if the person immerses himself in the ritual and studies it deeply and tries to find the deeper meanings in the ritual, this can help to expand the persons awareness. When somebodys awareness is expanded he is more open and more receptive to the flow.
My Grandpa told me that belonging/ insider outsider software is not "good or bad", but it is limiting. The ego is magnificent in its accomplishments, but it is limited in its reach. My Grandpa told me, for instance, it is very important for a person around the high school age to work at "belonging"/ special relationships. Before somebody is strong enough to transcend his ego, he must first have a stable ego structure/ a launching pad off of which to shoot off of. High school students are very concerned with "friends" and "fitting in" and "special relationships/ boyfriends and girlfirends)/ insider outsider software. My Grandpa told me that this is a step in the right direction, because at least when somebody is focused on special relationships, he is not completely focused on his self, but he has to take into consideration the thoughts and feelings of another person. The person in a "special relationship" is still focused on his self, but he is moving beyond just complete self absorption. Ultimately, the flow is "mutual participation in projects larger than the self", where the person loses himself in larger projects- and the self and the other is no longer any concern, but everything is one and the person is absorbed in the greater project and focused on creating synergy and being a participant in the antientropic reordering function of existence.
Somebody can do things like "practice the pick up artist routines" on women. This can help the person develop his social skills and expand his awareness and comprehensivty. But ultimately, the ego is limited in its reach, and it is beneficial to transcend it to the flow/ inspiraiton/ intuition.
My Grandpa told me about CS Lewis's Book "the Great Divorce." My Grandpa told me that the bus in the movie represents "inquiry/ the flow". My Grandpa told me that many people in the book refuse to "go on the bus". Some people are stuck in religious dogmas, some people are stuck in fighting with family members - right v wrong dualsiic ego software- who is right who is wrong. Many people refuse to get on the bus. My Grandpa said that inquiry is the flow. When you inquire you expand your awareness, you broaden your consciousnesss. Inquiry is not self confirmatory- but self expanding. At the end of the book the bus reachs heaven- a place of radiant light, and many people cannot tolerate it- it is too much for them to handle, and they prefer self confirmatory activity. Like one woman says that she needs to go back to take care of her son. Maybe she wants to be superior/ superior infeiror ego sfotware and her son makes her feel superior, so she maintains her attachment. But people who stay on the bus reach the heaven/ inspiration/ pure awareness/ freedom of self/ oneness. There is nothing wrong with "caring for your son". But what is the motivation- is it superior inferior ego software. If so you might do more harm than good. If you take care of your son with superior inferior ego software, you might compliment him too much, to make him feel superior, but unknowingly you make him too aware of himself and too concerned with how he appears to you, and thus you take him out of the flow. If you are in the flow/ pure awareness/ inspiration, then you will be a beneficial presence. You would not be attached to any outcome or try to make things happen, which often can make things worst, but you will do what is most perfect. But to attain this level of insight and discernment/ heaven you must first go on the bus of inquiry.
My Grandpa told me that the movie Forest Gump was very good. He said in the movie, Forest Gump is "constantly running". Forest Gump is going all out in whatever he does. He is constantly expanding and growing and evolging. This is the opposite of "self confrmatory behavior". He is growing beyond the self.
I used to think that the story where Jesus tells the rich ruler to "give up all your money and follow me" meant that Jesus was a "communist", but I don't think that anymore. In the story the rich ruler asks Jesus "Good teacher, what can I do to gain eternal life". Jesus says "why do you call me good? Only God is good". I used to think that this meant Jesus was saying that he is not God. Muslims point to this quote saying that Jesus is not God. But my Christian friend said that Jesus was being rhetorical, saying "yes you call me good because I am God". Either way, it is left in the air. The Bible tries to leave things in the air, not telling you exactly what to think. if you are told exactly what to think and memorize then you are not open to the flow/ inspiration. I think that contradictions in the Bible are intentional, because they keep you from grasping any dogma or formula. For instance, there is one part of the Bible where the tetragrammaton tells the Israelites to not take riches and loot from their enemy. But there is another part of the Bible where the tetragrammaton says it is ok to take riches and loot from a people they conquer. In one part of the Bible God is expressed through a whisper by one prophet. In another part he is expressed through a more physical aspect by a different prophet. When I was younger I read through the whole Bible and found these contradictions everywhere, and I don’t think they are unintentional contradictions. There is no formula. There is also in Genesis two creations stories that are kind of contradictory. One is spiritual based more and the other more physical. They contradict each other, but that is beneficial, because it prevents grasping to one point of view or formula. For instance, communism is not the answer, and neither is capitalism. There is no formula. In the flow a leader can discern when communistic principals are ideal and wehn capitalistic principles are the best. Dogmatism is dangerous. When playing basketball, if I know what I will do next, and am dogmatic, I can’t be open to inspiration and doing what is best. That can only emerge if you are practiced and prepared and open to spontaneity and inspiration. There is no formula. Or actually there is a formula, there is one perfect way, but you can’t make that way happen, you can only prepare for its emergence. I can’t remember all the contradictions I found before, I’d have to go through the bible and jot them all down again. But trust me, they did not seem unintentional to me. I think the contradictions are purposeful, to serve the point of telling the reader not to grasp a formula. Also Hindus will often say that God is both formless and has a form. This is a contradiction. But the contradiction is important because it prevents anybody from grasping onto one point of view, and thereby not being open to inspiration and intuition. Another example of a contradiction in Hinduism is they say there are many Gods, but there is also one God. That is a contradiction. But it is important because it prevents somebody, through ego motivations, from grasping onto one point of view, and thus not being open to inspiration and intuition. Anytime somebody grasps onto a belief, he is confirming the ego self, and the ego self is an illusion according to metapsychiatry.
But the rich ruler asks Jesus how he can attain eternal life. The man is focused on his ego self. He is focused on saving the ego self. He wants to be superior/ superior inferior ego software. He wants to save the self and thus be superior. That is the same software that leads to sin. For instance, in the mans desire to be superior he might kill somebody to take his money, so he will be richer. The flow is transcendence of the self. The flow is eternal life/ pure awareness in the timeless moment which is eternal.
The man is also trying to butter Jesus up, calling him "good teacher." The rich ruler is trying to "make things happen". Buttering up is what my Grandpa told me is one of the "deadly bs". Other deadly bs include "boasting, bragging, backbiting, bitching, and bulldozing". These are all ego strategies to manipulate people and make things happen, and they often backfire. They are not the flow.
Jesus did not give a formula  to everybody that they "have to get rid of all their riches". Jesus always functioned under inspiraiton/ intution/ discernment. He had pure awareness and full specturm awareness and he could discern what was most appropriate for the benefit of any person in whatever siutation demanded it. Jesus discerned that this man was caught up in his ego/ superior inferior ego software. Thus he could not attain the flow/ pure awareness/ transcendence of the self.
So Jesus told the man "you know the commandments, do not steal, do not murder, do not defraud". The rich ruler tells Jesus that he has "kept all of the commandments".
The Bible says, "Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”  The rich ruler was saddened and he does not follow Jesus. Jesus says “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! **25 **It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
Jesus is happy that the rich ruler follows the commandments. But as I said before, if you follow the commandments for selfish motivations, then you are not in the flow/ the kingdom of heaven/ pure awareness. The man was still ego centered. He was still focused on his self. Therefore he was not open to the flow/ pure awareness.
My Grandpa told me that Jesus was not saying to everybody to let go of all of their possessions and become poor. Jesus was saing to "let go of your attachments". If you are in the flow/ inspiration, you are not attached to anything. I know this from when I used to write raps. I would have probably been considred one of the greatest rappers in history, but my original raps were thrown away. But when I wrote raps, I would tell myself "I am not going to let anybody see these raps". The reason i told myself this, and I truy believed it, was I did not want my ego to get invovled in the writing of the rap. I did not want to "try to say what I want to say", or "try to be smart", or "try to be funny", or "try anything." I wanted to be completely in the moment and spontaneous and allow the sound to guide me-the higher harmony to guide me. When I put the pen to the paper, I did not "try to be cool" or "try to be profound". Before my pen started moving I didn't have any "plan" of what I was going to say. Usually it was only by the third line of what I was writing that I had any inkling of where the rap was going to go to, and even then I was not sure. Because I wanted to be completely in the moment and let the harmony/ inspriation guide me. My intuition would tell me "put an n sound next". My calculative ego consciousness might tell my intuition "no I want to put an f sound and say fart because it will be funny. But my intution told me an n sound had to go next, so I would put an n sound and instead of fart write "noahs arc". And the rap woud always end up better when I just allowed my intution to tell me what to do than when I did what Iwanted to do. I was not "attached to any outcome". I did not have desires. Before I wrote the raps I would tell myself "I am not going to let anybody ever see this rap" and I meant it - I really thought I wouldn't, and for them to be as great as they were- I had to do that because if my ego was invovled in the rap it would have distorted it.
In the same manner, the rich ruler had attachments. If you are in the flow/ pure awareness/ intution, you are not attached to anything. In the flow, if divine inspiration tells you to let go of your possessions, you will do it. If divine inspiration tells you to go to war, like Krishna told Arjuna, you will not tell divine inspiration "but my family is on the other side", like Arjuna did who was attached. Arjuna thought that by "being nonviolent he will go to heaven". He was focused on his ego self- his nonviolence was selfish. It sounded like "the flow" but it wasn't. You cannot be saved from the ego with your ego, salvation only comes through grace. There is nothing you can do to save yourself. The self cannot transcend the self. There is no formula. The Muslims say that Allah choses to save who he wills. They say that somebody can be righteous his whole life and not be saved. or somebody can be evil his whole life and be saved. My Grandpa told me this is true. The righteous man can act righeous due to ego motivations and never attain the flow/ salvation. The evil man may break free of evil ways and transcend the ego and thus attain the flow/ salvation.
I listened to an audiobook by a famous business man. I forget his name, and the name of the audiobook. But he described that heaven in the Bible literally means "expansion". Heaven is self expansion. If you are settled and content and ossified and lazy, then your behavior is self confirmatory. You are not expanding beyond the self, you are confirming the separate ego self. Shiva/Allah/Vishnu/Tetragrammaton/ Heaven is self expansion, not laziness and settledness.
The rich young ruler was not "bad for being rich". He was attached to his riches and thus he was not open to the flow. When you are attached to anything you are not in the flow, because when you are in the flow you are open to inspiration and in inspiration you are free to do whatever the inspiration leads you to do, and if you are attached to anything you cannot do that. There is a Hindu story about a rich king. A man was told that he should be the rich kings disciple. The man did not want to be the rich kings disciple because he said "how can somebody with such opulence be spiritual". But he was told that the rich king should be his guru. So the man began to learn under the rich king. A fire started in the palace and all of the gold and silver and opulence was burning. The man was very concerned and told the rich king that he wanted to stop studying and save the gold and silver. The rich kind refused and wanted to continue studying. Finally the fire came to the man's spiritual books/ scriptures and the man tried to save the books and he stopped studying. The rich king told the man "you are poor, but you are attached to things, including your scriptures. I have a lot of material items, but I am not attached to any of them". The moral of the story was the man thought he was more spiritual because he was poor, but he was not.
Jesus does not teach that being poor is superior. To say that being poor is superior is supeiror inferior ego software. Superior inferior ego software is what causes a lot of conflict and brings about a lot of poverty and pain. In the parable of the talents, the man who does not multiply his talents is punished, but the man who leverages and multiplies his talents is rewarded. Jesus here is encouraging self expansion/ leveraging of assets.
In the story of the rich man and Lazarus in the Bible, the rich man is suffering in hell while Lazarus is at Abrahams bosom. When I first read this I thought that Jesus was a communist and he was looking down upon the rich. But my Grandpa told me that the rich man was "settled" and "comfortable" with his riches. As a result, he was never pushed or probed to expand beyond his self, and expand his awareness and grow and evolve. He had many attachments and never transcended dualsitic superior inferior ego software to the flow/ inspiraiton. Maybe he felt he was superior/ sueprior inferior dualstic ego software, with his riches. When you are rich and comfortable, you have more of a temptation to settle and not grow and expand. Lazarus however, served an apprenticeship to gurus. Lazarus searched and probed and developed and expanded his self. Many saints in India take on a life of poverty so that they can devote themselves solely to studying the scriputers and expanding awareness. Many rabbis teach that "if you have the choice to be rich and not study torah, or be poor and study torah, it is best to chose to be poor and study torah". The most important thing is expansion of awareness/ inquiry, and in many cases poverty can be a result. It does not have to be the result, and you can be rich and also expand your awareness and search and develop and grow yourself, but there is just a greater temptation to settle when you are rich- and less of an impetus to break free of duaslitic ego software because perhaps you are protected from the "real world", and you can get away with immaturity and people don't call you on it.
I mentioned at the beginning of this book about the metaphor of Shiva cutting of Daksha's head. Daksha's daughters include Bhakti Worship, Fame, Celebrity, Thriving, Forgiveness, and Humility. Worship and Fame, and Forgiveness, and Thriving, and Celebrity, and Humility are all excellent principles. But what is most important is Shiva/ the flow/ pure awareness/ inquiry/ self transcendence. If you forgive, but you forgive for selfish reasons, in order to look good, or to please God so you can get reward, then the forgiveness is not beneficial. But if your forgiveness emerges from your awareness that the person is not to blame, but his immaturity/ dualistic ego software is what influenced his action- and he can upgrade his software, then the forgiveness is beneficial. So you are not mad at the person, but you discern the dualistic software that the person has that brings about his behavior. If you worship, but your worship is for ego motivations, maybe to please God so that you can be superior/ superior inferior ego software, then your Worship is not beneficial. But if your worship is a celebration of the oneness and beauty of existence and the antientropic reordering function, then it is beneficial. If your worship is a meditative ritual that helps in the expansion of your awareness and gratitude and openness, then the worship/Bhakti ritual is beneficial. Celebrity, and Fame and Thriving are great. There was nothing wrong with the Rich young Ruler being rich. But what is most important is Shiva/ the flow/ inspiration/ oneness. If fame brings a boost in your ego/ superior inferior ego software, then the fame is not beneficial. If fame is the byproduct of the flow/ Shiva/ inquiry, self transcendence, then fame is beneficial. And fame is often the byproduct of the flow. But it is ideal if the fame is not the goal, but the goal is inquiry/ expansion of awareness/ transcendence of duaslticii ego sfotware to inspiration and cultivation of intuition, and fame is the byproduct. If you become rich/ are thriving as a consequence of self transcendence/ self expansion/ inquiry/ transcendence of dualsitic ego software/ Shiva, then the thriving is beneficial. But if the thriving brings about a sense of superiority, it is not beneficial. It is beneficial to thrive, but only if it is the byproduct of mutual participation/ transcendence of dualsitic ego software/ efforts that produce greater synergy and value/ Shiva. If thriving is the product of superior inferior ego software, or increases your sense of superiority or causes you to maintain immature consciousness, then you are not in the flow/ Shiva. Lazarus was likely a man like the Hindu Saints or Jewish scholars who took on poverty in order to devote himself to inquiry/ study, and the rich man was likely a person who neglected inquiry for the purpose of seeking riches.
So Shiva/ the flow is most important, and that is why Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha. But Shiva does resurrect Daksha. It is not that Worship, and Fame, and Forgiveness, Thriving, and Humility should be completely discarded. It is just that they ought to be and are the byproduct of the flow/ oneness/ Shiva/Vishnu/ Allah/ tetragrammaton/ pure awareness/ inspiration/ self expansion and self transcendence, as opposed to ego dualistic software. That is why Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha, but resurrects Him. And it is true, thriving does emerge from transcendence of duaslitic ego software. If you have dualsitic ego software, that software will often get you in trouble, and you will not thrive. For instance, dualistic top dog underdog software might cause you to get into fights with your boss or employees. Sometimes the ego is useful, as my Grandpa said "the ego is magnificent in its achievements, but limited in its reach". Thriving is more likely to be substantial if you have transcended dualsitc ego software to mutual participation/ transcendence of the self/ oneness consciosuenss/ cultivation of intuition. The goal should not be to thrive however. As Jesus said "seek first the kingdom of God, then everything else will come unto you". First you seek out inquiry/ self expansion/ expansion of awarness/ the flow/ Shiva/Vishnu/Allah Tetragrammaton/ transcendnece of dualstiic ego software. Then money, clothes, shelter/Thriving/Fame/Modesty/Forgiveness are all a byproduct. Thriving is not bad/ being rich is not bad- in fact it can be a byprouct of self transcendcne/ worship of Shiva. However, the goal should not be thriving. If your goal is thriving, you are worshipping Daksha, and Daksha got his head cut off.
If somebody is rich, and has social support, he may be less likely to grow and wake up. For instance, a king might have top dog underdog software and predator prey ego software and kill whoever he wants for no reason. Because he is so rich he can get away with his software and is never forced to grow up and wake up and transcend to Shiva/Vishnu/Allah/ transcendence of self. A rich person can have more of a temptation to settle. But that does not mean that "being poor is superior". There are many stories in the Bible where the "lesser person becomes greater and is blessed". To think that being lower is superior/ being inferior is superior is superior inferiro ego software. Superior inferiro dualistic ego software leadsd to a lot of fighting and problems. It may be true that a person who is "cast aside" might work on himself more and work to expand himself more and as a result become more "blessed", and the person of higher positio might be more inclined to settle. But that is not always a guarantee.
A lot of times people "become poor", due to primitive duaalistic ego software. For instance, in the Hindu stories, the demons have predator prey, top dog underdog dualsitic ego software. A demon can perform severe austerities and gain a boom from Brahma or Shiva. The rain even falls on the unjust. Even a demon can transcend duasltiic ego software and become blessed with a boon. For instance, there is a story of a demon, Bhasmasura, who gets a boon that every person he touches will be turned to fire. The demon has top dog underdog software. He gains the boon, but he never truly transcended his dualsitic ego software. He wants to be the top dog. He has predator prey ego software. He wants to be the predator. After he gets the boon, he kills his Father. The demon has predator prey ego software, and top dog underdog ego software, and his Father before had shunned the demon due to his dualistic ego software, and rather than transcending his software and engaging in inquiry/mutual participation/transcendence of the ego self, the demon gains the boon and kills his Demon Father. he tries to take Shiva's wife Parvati, and tries to kill Shiva with his touch. Shiva runs from the demon. Vishnu comes to the rscue in the form of a beautiful woman and dances in front of the demon. The demon is completely absorbed in sensory self confirmatory behavior. He sees the beautiful woman and he "must have her". He has not transcended himself, but he is completely self absorbed. He wants to be superior and have the most beautiful woman/ superior inferior ego software.
Mohini tells Bhasmasura that they can live on a mountain and live happily ever after. The demon likes this idea. The idea of a special relationship with a beautiful woman appeals to him because the demon is self absorbed. Special relationships are a form of self absorption. In the flow, there is no relatioships because you have transcende yourself and are focused on inquiry/ self expansion nd not self confirmatory special relationships. Any relatoinship in the flow is the byproduct of the mutual particpation in soething greater than yor self. Inthe flow there is no self and there is no other, so there is no relationships. The demon goes after the female Avatar of Vishnu, Mohini (temptress).
Mohini says that he can have her if he can copy her dance. He is copying her dance. In the middle of the dance Mohini touches her head and the demon copies her and he burns himself alive. If you live by the sword you die by the sword. The demons predator prey software ended up killing him.
In the same manner, a lot of people are poor due to primitive dualsitic ego software. Their primitive software might cause them to do drugs. For instance, somebody might have superior inferior ego software. He hears that "everybody is doing this drug- it is cool and it can make you enlightened". They want to be superior and be enlightened, so they take the drug.Afterwards they find that the drug has shown them some incredible things, but they reincorporate their profound experiences within an immature dualsitic framework of consciousness that they never transcended. As a result they become even more self absorbed. They start becoming paranoid and thinking that people are after them. They think that people are out to get them. They have no freedom. They are locked into the self and self concern. They might think they are profoundly enightened due to taking the drug, but their attesting of being so smart is another aspect of their supeiror inferior ego software. They become agitated with people who do not agree with their claims on the world. They are self absorbed and need to be superior. They are very focused on the self- they become highly religious- worrying about saving the self for the afterlife. My Grandpa told me that "fools rush in where angles fear to tread". A powerful drug can show you a transcendent experience of oneness. But if you have not developed yourself and are matured enough to where you are prepared for such insight, you will incorporte your profound experienc into a dualistic ego framework. As a result, the person in his desire to be superior/ superior inferior ego software, takes the drug. Next thing he knows he is on the streets and poor. Is he to be blamed for his poverty? No, his dualistic ego software is what brought about the poverty. Taking the drugs was an aspect of that software.
It has been argued that "drug addiction is not a disease". Scientists have shown that people who "become drug addicted", chose to become drug addicts. A lot of people who take drugs are people who already have no families, and have no big commitments, and they take the drugs. If they gain a family or commitments, they are less likely to take the drugs. Somebody can even decide to take drugs as an "excuse for his failures". Let's say that somebody due to dualsitic ego software has not succeeded. He takes drugs and he says "I would have been so great had I not taken drugs and not cared". The person has superior inferior ego software. He wants to be superior so bad, that he sabotages himself taking drugs. Then he blames the drugs. Now he can still feel "superior"/ superior inferior ego software. He is not to blame, but his software is the problem. He can upgrade his software though. After taking the drugs he is even deeper in poverty. His superior inferior software brings him to buy hookers. He wants to be superior and have women. He is now even more impoverished. He runs into a girl on the street who isn't dressed "modestly". He rapes her. He has predator prey ego software. He has become a "White supremacist", and he thinks that women should dress modestly
My Grandpa told me that drugs are a "shortcut to ecstacy". You have to be prepared before you can have a "transcendent eperience", otherwise you incorporate that experiecne into your immature framework of consciousness/software. I have heard from many spiritual gurus that it for the most part is not helpful to take drugs. Although, in the flow there "is no formula". Somebody in the flow can through inspiration and intuition, take a drug that is appropriate for him to take at the time he takes it. There is no formula in the flow. But for the most part drugs are dangerous. I have seen people take these "spiritual drugs" and they tend to degress as opposed to progress, although they will loudly proclaim the opposite.

He runs into a girl on the street who isn't dressed "modestly". He rapes her. He has predator prey ego software. He has become a "White supremacist", and he thinks that women should dress modestly. He wants women to start having more White babies so that "his kind will be superior". He is completely self absorbed. He rapes the woman dressed like a slut. Or he is a "Black guy" focused on the ego self, and he rapes the woman for the same reason. He has duaslitic ego superior inferior software. As a result he goes to jail and is even more impoverished. Is the person "bad". No, he just has dualsitic ego sfotware, but he can transcend that software. Was the woman who "dressed like a slut" bad? You have to know what her software was. In Africa women did not wear tops. Showing your boobs does not mean you have primitive software. Maybe the woman was trying to seduce men/ predator prey dualsiic ego sfotware, where she is the predator and men are the prey. Only a man with predator prey dualsitic ego software will be seduced. A woman has to discern her surroundings and be aware that there are men with primitive predator prey software. That is a part of intuition and discernment. But regardless, nobody is to blame- there are no "bad people". There are just people with primitive dualistic ego software. But they can transcend the software and upgrade their software to mutual participation/ inquiry/ self transcendence.

In alcholics anonymous, it is taught that to break free of alcoholism, it is best to "submit to a higher power". My Grandpa told me that submitting to the higher power is recognizing that "YOU" cannot save yourself. It is the ego self that was the problem in the first place. It was dualistic ego software that lead to taking the drugs in the first place. Maybe you wanted to belong/ be an insider/ insider outsider dualstic ego software, so you took drugs with your friends. Maybe the drugs made you feel very good/ self indulgence/ self confirmatory behavior. The ego self is an illusion. When you submit to a higher power, you have stopped trying to make things happen, you are now in the flow/ pure awareness/ inspriaot/ intution/Allah/Vishnu/Shiva/Zeus/Oden Tetragrammaton. As a result, you are broken free of the dualisitc software that brought about the drug addiction.
Should drugs be made illegal? My Grandpa told me that making drugs illegal "does not help". Making something illegal does not change the peoples software. People with primitive dualsitic ego software will create a black market, or people will find other self confirmatory behavior. My Grandpa said though there is no formula. In the flow there is no formula. In the flow, there is inspriation and intuition. In the flow it might be determiend that a law against a certain drug might be beneficial. Maybe the population is very immature and unenlightened, and has many people with very immature dualsitic ego software. And the drug is causing a lot of problems for them. It might be discerned by a lawmaker in the flow/ inspiration, that a law be put up that in some way protects people from their immaturity. But there is no formula in the flow. And moreover, somebody in the flow might take the drug, and it might be beneficial in his awakening/ expansion of awareness, and it has no harmful effects. In the flow/ inpiration, there is no formula.
The same thing holds with gun laws. Making guns illegal does not change peoples software. If people have supeiro inferior ego software, they are going to want guns to feel superior. They are also going to get guns. What is beneficial is cultivating expansion of awareness to mutual participation and harmony and oneness consciousness/ creating environments that are more conducive to the expansion of awareness/ raising the water level. In the flow it might be determined that it is a "necessary concession" to peoples immaturity, to create gun laws. But in the flow there is no formula. Formulas are rigid, and when you have a formula you are not open to intuition and insight. A libertarian might say "never make any laws against guns". A liberal might say "always make laws agaisnt guns". In the flow, you are not attached to any one paradigm, but you are open to insight and intuition and are flexible, and have full spectrum awareness and can discern what is most appropriate at the time and place. Sometimes a complete gun ban is what is the most beneficial. Sometimes no gun ban is most beneficial, especially in a society where there is a very healthy environment where people are mature and have transcended dualstiic ego sfotware. In inspiration/ the flow/ tetragrammaton/ Jesus/ Vishnu/ Shiva, what is most benefcial is discerned.
My Grandpa told me the meaning of the story of Jesus on the Mountain of tranfiguration. My Grandpa told me that he got this interpetation from Steiner's book "Real Presences". In Steiners book Real Presencs, Steiner claims there is a higher dimension/ a flow/ that transcends the normal and mundane.
On the Mt of Transfiguration, Jesus shines with bright light. My Grandpa told me that on a mountain top you gain "full spectrum awareness". On the top of a mountain you can see the whole picture. That is why the God Shiva lives on top of a Mountain and why Zeus lives on top of a mountain. Jesus shines with light, representing the flow. Light is non physical. My Grandpa said that the physical world is an illusion, but everything is strings vibrating at different frequencies to create the illusion of solid objects. Humans sensory faculties give them the illusion that there are solid things, but the sensory apparatus is just designed to help people to navigate and negotiate within the mesochosm which humans occupy. Really my Grandpa said that everything is energy/ one energy event taking different formations, or as the Vedantists say "consciousness". My Grandpa said that is is apophatic, not tangible. There is no thing.
Jesus had this awareness and he shone with light. The disciples saw things as they truly are. They were in the flow. But then the disciples want to build booths. My Grandpa tod me that they build three booths. One of the booths is an intellectual encapsulation, the other is an emotional encapsulation, and the third is an action oriented encapsulation. Building a booth is building a container. The disciples were in pure awareness/ the flow. But then they wanted to capture the flow/ build a booth. Jesus tells the disciples to "not build any booths". When you build a booth you encapsulate an interpetation. Buidling a booth is like creating a religion. A booth is a dogma, something that people need to memorize and cling to and be attached to. But in the flow you are not attached to anything. In the flow you are open to inspiraiton and intution and insight. If you are attached to anything, you cannot be in the flow. For instance, when I was considered the one of the best players in the nation, when I played, I was not attached to any outcome. I did not have it planned "now I am going to go left", or "now I'm going to do this move". I literally was completely spontaneous and was not aware of what I was doing. When you are in the flow you don't cut short your pure awareness by building a booth.
People might respond, "doesn't the Bible teach to believe in Jesus, isn't that a dogma/doctrine". I listened to a Bible scholar who was a serious Christian from the Bible institute, and he said that the correct translation of the Bible is "believe into Jesus". That means to believe into the flow. And the term belief is not even the best translation.
When you are in the flow you do not have any booths. When you cling to a booth, you think you already have the answer figured out. When you have a booth, you know what move you are going to do next in the basketball game. You are not open to inspiraitn. When I was completely free playing basketball, what I did was greater than if it would have been planned. Same with when I wrote raps.
My Grandpa told me about the story where Jesus feeds the multitudes. My Grandpa said that after he feeds the multitudes,four groups of people go to Jesus. One group just wants handouts. They want Jesus to be a "social wellfare" gospel guy, who gives people handouts. They want Jesus to continue to give them handouts. But Jesus does not, so they leave. Giving to the poor is not bad, but it is also not necessarily good. When you give to the poor, you can encourage them to be lazy, and to not develop themselves and grow and evolve. In inspiration and intution, you can discern if it is appropriate to give to somebody. But sometimes, giving to somebody can do him more harm than good. For instance, a lot of people who win the lottery have not served an apprenticeship to money. A lot of them have primtiive dualsitic ego software. The money does not serve them and a lot of them end up worst off after winning the lottery than before. There is no formula in the flow. Sometimes giving is the most beneficial, sometimes it is not. Giving is only always beneficial if it is done as a ritual, and thus it helps you to break free of yoru habits, circumstances, and other people, and leet go of your attachments. Giving does not necessarily help the person you give to, it helps you by helping you to let go of what you cling to/superior ifnferior dualistic ego software.
Another group goes to Jesus and they want to be followers and they want Jesus to tell them what to believe. Jesus does not do this. Jesus does not want people to build booths. He does not want to give people attachments but wants them to be open to inspiraton/ intuition/ the flow. A third group says "this Jesus guy is nothing special, he is a carpenter's son and we have him all figured out. He's just a magic worker". However a fourth group stays and says "there is nowhere else to go". They want to be explorers/ researchers and developers. They want to be involved in inquiry/ self expansion. They are not looking for dogmas to cling to and believe, they want to expand their awareness and cultivate the capacity for insight and intution. They want discovery.
My Grandpa told me about the three ds. The three ds are "dullness, disaster, and discovery". Many people live dull lives. These people want to increase their level of aliveness. When you increase your level of aliveness you increase your potential for being in the flow. For instance, if I go into a basketball game all depressed, then I will not get into the flow. But if I am alive and skipping and energetic, I will be more likely to lose myself in the flow. Some people want disaster in order to increase their level of aliveness. They like watching the news to make them scared, or horror movies so that they can feel alive. But my Grandpa told me the ultimate way to get into the flow is through discovery/ research and development/ exploration/ self expansion/ expansion of awareness/Shiva Vishnu/Allah/Tetragrammaton.
In the Bible, Luke 9, a man tells Jesus, "I will follow you wherever you go". Jesus tells the man "“Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” My Grandpa told me that Jesus "never settled". To follow Jesus, you can never settle, you can never be content. You are constantly expanding and growing and evolving. You are never still but in a continuous state of research and development. The Son of Man has no place to lay his head.
When you lay your head down you have "come up with a formula". You are settled. You have figured things out. You are satsified. But in the flow you do not have any formulas but you are open to what m Grandpa called "expected suprises" and "anticipated accidents". When I played basketball when I was nine and ten years old and won a national championship and was considered by many to be the best player in the nation, and when I was 12 and considred the best shooter in the nation, ironically, before every game I was very nervous. Michael Jordan also said that before every game he was extremely nervous. Why would it be that the best players are very nervous, whereas the players that are not that effective are not as nervous? The best players are the players who do not have formulas. I had no idea how I was shooting, yet I was considred the best shooter in the nation. Isn't that amazing? So in a sense it was not me doing it. I think I was considred the best shooter in the nation precisely BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING. I had no formula or plan laid out before the game. A player who is not that good has formulas and his steps planned out, so he is not as nervous. But he is also not as effective. I went into the game completely in the empty space of possibility, not knowing what was going to happen. I had no moves memorized or planned out, nothing. So I was very nervous before every game, even though ironically I was considred the best. Michael Jordan was extremely nervous, probably because he was the same way. Michael Jordan is one of the few players that I have seen that was completely spontaneous and in the timeless zone like I was. Michael Jordan even wrote a book where he described "being in the zone/ flow". He described that time was different, space was different. He could not miss, the rim was like an ocean. There is a story in the Bible in Joshua 10 where the Israelites are fighting the Amorites, and the sun stands still, and the Israelites win the battle. I think the sun standing still represented the Isrealites being in the zone- in the eternal moment. I think that it is a metaphor of the Israelites being in the flow, out of experience based reality but in pure awareness. The Israelites may not have been literally fighting anybody. The story is merely a metaphor for the flow.
My Grandpa taught me the meaning of Jesus three tempations. Jesus is first told to "turn the stone to bread". Jesus says "man does not live off of bread alone, but by every word that comes from the Mouth of God". My Grandpa made an addition to the popular saying "give a man of fish he is not hungry for a day, teach him how to fish he is not hungry for life". My Grandpa said "deprive him of fish and he may learn man does not live off of fish alone".
My Grandpa told me that "turning the stone to bread" is metaphorical of creating a "social wellfare gospel". My Grandpa said that many Churches have the temptation to gain followers and "get brownie points from God so that they can go to heaven" by becoming a "social wellfare Church". The Church's primary motivation is "helping the poor"/ giving the poor food and shelter and clothes.
In Mark 14, a woman poors perfume on Jesus feet, and Judhas, the man who betrayed Jesus, says "we could have given money from that perfume to the poor" Jesus says "the poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want, but you will not always have me".
There is nothing wrong with giving to the poor. But again, what are your motivations? Are you doing it to be seen by others as "righteous". Also, giving to the poor does not necessarily help them. Giving to the poor might encourage the poor not to get jobs and do work. My Grandpa taught me that work is important because it takes you out of yourself/ self preoccupation. People can work and move their way up the hierarchy in their jobs. This is a form of self evolution and expansion. The person expands his awareness and grows and matures. Also, giving money to a poor person does not necessarily help the poor person upgrade the software that might have contributed to him becoming poor in the first place. Maybe the man is poor because he has top dog underdog software, and he fought many people and alienated himself and now he is on the streets. Him getting a job would be more effective in the process of his growing up and waking up than giving him money. But again, there is no formulas. Sometimes giving is the best thing for somebody. But my Grandpa told me "the ritual of giving is not to help the person that you give to, but to help you in letting go of your attachments.". When you are in the flow you are free of yourself/ free of attachments, and one with the higher harmony/energy.

When you are in the flow you are free of yourself/ free of attachments, and one with the higher harmony/energy. If you are in pure awareness/ intuition, you will be able to discern when it is most appropriate to give and when it is not. In the Bible, there is a rule that a person shoud leave the edges of his field for the poor. But rabbis say that the person shoud not stand at the edges of the field so that he can see people eat who are eating from the edges of his field. They might feel humiliated. If somebody is in the flow he has compassion and a sense of oneness with all people. So he does not want to humiliate anybody.
My Grandpa said that Jesus did not establish a "social wellfare Church". Jesus said "man does not live off of bread alone, but the words that come from the Mouth of God." Jesus, instead of wanting to establish a social wellfare Church, wished to fasciliate people in research and development and discovery/ the word of God/ expansion of awareness/ cultivation of intuition and inspiration.
Jesus second temptation was to "throw himself down from the highest point of the temple". My Grandpa told me that this represented the temptation to start an "After life assurance Church". Jesus had the temptation to be a "miracle worker" and gain a following of people impressed with his powers and miraculous abilities. Such followers would also hope that Jesus could provide them the "miracle of an afterlife in heaven". Such people would be self absorbed, only following Jesus for his impressive miraculous powers that they think Jesus will use to save them and protect them. But my Grandpa told me Jesus did not seek worshipful obsequious followers. Whenever he performed a miracle he "split the seems". He would go off on his own. Many Church's seek followers through "fear", by selling Jesus as a powerful magical being who has the magical power to give people an afterlife in heaven. These people follow Jesus out of fear. It is a form of self absorptionand anot a form of self transcendence. The flow/ eternal moment/ transcendecn of the ego body is eternal life, according to my Grandpa. My Grandpa said that Jesus taught inquiry/ expansion of the self/ transcendece ofthe self/ discovery and evolution. A person who is obsessed with saving his self wants to be superior. He has superior inferior ego software. That superior inferior ego is the same software that brings a man to "commit adultery". The man wants to be superior. So he wants to show how much of a man he is by having sex with a woman he is not married to. The superior inferior ego software also is an aspect of "racism". That is why, in afer life assurance religious institutions, it is very common to find people who are "racist". My Grandpa said there is no such thing as racism. There is just people with immature dualsitic ego software, and that software is called racism. Somebody may be obsessed with saving his ego self for an afterlife. That same obsession with his ego self makes him want to "preserve and promote the race he identifies with". That does not even have to be your race- it could be whatever race you most identify with due to your ego prejudices. Such a person is still focused on his ego self and has not transcended his self to intuition/ pure awareness. Somebody in pure intution has a sense of oneness with all cratures, and does not act out of the ego but acts out of inspiration and oneness, mutual respect. He will not see all people as equal, but he will treat people as individuals and discern their software and react accordingly.
Jesus third temptation was to "bow down to the devil and attain all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor". My Grandpa told me that this temptation represents the temptation to create a "prosperity gospel" Church/ this life assurance Church. A prospertiy gospel Church teaches people to be religious so that they can "prosper materially". I described how Hindus say to worship Vishnu before worshipping Laxmi. If you worship Vishnu then you Laxmi can be a byproduct. Laxmi represents wealth. Vishnu is a philosopher/ inquiry. If wealth emerges from inquiry/ expansio fo he self/ transcendence of duaslitic ego software, then wealth is beneficial. Also wealth does come out of value. For instance, an inventor can create an invention that creates great synergy and leverage, and helps many people. As a result he gains wealth/ Laxmi through is research and development/ Vishnu. But in a prosperity gospel Church, the focus is on "gaining wealth", and worship is for the purpose of gaining wealth. People  often want wealth because they want to be superior/ superior inferior ego software. Dualsitic ego software often is what keeps people impoversihed to begin iwth. When I was considred the best basketball player in the nation and won an AAU national championship, I passed when it was appropriate to plass. I shot when it was appropriate to shoot. And I was not even aware of my self. I was outside of myself. I was in the flow. The more you are stuck in yourself/ absorbed in yourself, the worst you are. When I was in the flow, I didn't know what I was doing, but what I did was perfect. If you are focused on being superior, that can be ok. Your desire to be superior might bring you to practice a lot. But at the same time it might make you fight with your teammates who you are jealous of. But if you are in mutual participation/ oneness consciousness, then you are more likely to thrive. The paradox is, if your focus is on thriving/ being superior, you are not in oneness pure awareness.
My Grandpa told me that in his opinion Joel Osteen is an example of a prosperity gospel preacher. I asked my Grandpa what he thought of Osteens idea of saying "I am rich, I am prosperious" and other positive I ams. My Grandpa said that it can be beneficial to say "I am prosperious". I had asked my Grandpa what he thought about the Black panthers who thought Black people were superior. My Grandpa told me "it is more beneficial to think you are superior than to think you are inferior". My Grandpa said you are more likely to be in the flow if you are confident. If you go into a basketball game feeling like you suck, you probably won't play as well as if you go into the game feeling confident. Its easier to attain self transcendence from the platform of confidence than the platform of feeling down.
But my Grandpa said, at the same time saying "I am this", or "I am that" is still focusing on the "I" and there is no "I", there is no self. Jesus says "I am about my Father's business". Jesus is not concerned with his "self" but with "His Father's business". My Grandpa told me that the Father is the flow. My Grandpa told me that the flows business is the antientropic reordering function- the evolutionary process of existence towards higher complexifications and oneness. The flow is transcendence of dualstiic ego software to oneness/ mutual participation/ pure awarness/ intution/ inspiration/ inquiry. In a state of oneness the I dies, there is no I. Ironically, when there is no I, you prosper the most, but if you are focusing on prospering, then you are focusing on the I, and you will likely not propser as much. But even if you do not prosper, it is more beneifical to focus on inquiry/ the flow than to focus on prosperity. As I mentioned before, in the story of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man focused on prosperity. He was rich but he ended up in hell. The poor man likely focused on research dand development/ inquiry/ expansio of awareness. He ends up in heaven.
The I often gets in the way. I asked my Grandpa what he thought about the "self esteem movements" where people focus on self esteem. My Grandpa told me there is no self. My Grandpa told me, again, it is probably easier to get in the flow if you have a high self esteem than if you have a low self esteem. But Jesus says "I am about my Father's business". He is not focused on his self. He is about his Father's business/ the flow/ transcendence of the self.
Paul in the Bible says "in Christ there is no male or female, Jew nor Greek, slave nor free". In pure awareness/ the flow, you are not focused on your ego identity, but you have lost yourself. You are not aware of yourself. My Grandpa said that everything is one flowing energy event taking on the illusion of being separate things. There is no separate things. God says "I am". In pure awareness/ the flow you are not "male" or "female" or "gay" or "straight" or anything, but "you are". In the flow you are not worried about "who is right" or who is "wrong" or "who is supeiror" and "who is inferior" but you have mutual respect for all things and a onenenss with all things- therefore since there is a oneness, the illusion of the separate self dies.
In the story of Oedipus, Oedipus is told by the oracle that he will kill his Dad and marry his Mom. Oedipus therefore leaves his Dad and Mom and travels far away. But Oedipus does not realize that he was adopted, and the place he travels to is where his biological parents live. Paul says "the good that I would I do not, but the bad which I do not want to do, I end up doing. Who shall deliver me from this body of death". Oedipus is functioning under ratioanl calculative, experience based dualsitic ego software. He is not in the flow. Oedipus is "trying to make things happen." He wants to do good, but he is trying to make things happen. Therefore, ironcially, when he is trying to do good, he ends up doing bad. Oedipus ends up killing his Dad, and marrying his Mom, not even realizing the woman he married is his Mom. When he learns that he was adopted and the woman he married was actually his Mom, he gouges out his eyes. Gouging out your eyes represents breaking free of experience based sensory, ego rational dualsitic thinking. After he gouges out his eyes he follows what the oracles tell him to do. He is now functioning under inspiration, which transcends the senses/ three dimensional world. He has broken free of the ego. At the end of his life he is deified- he becomes a God- he has broken free of rational dualsitic ego software and has alligned with the flow/ oneness/ inspiration/ God.
There is a quote in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", where Shakespeare says "the fault dear Brutus lies not in us, but in our stars". My Grandpa said that the truth is that "the fault lies not in us, but in our software". You are not your software, you can upgrade your software. Different levels of dualsitic ego software bring about problems, but the software can be transcended.
Paul said "the good that I would I end up not doing. That which I would don't want, I end up doing". An example of this principle might be a woman who yells "fuck Trump he is a piece of shit". The woman might claim to "want to help the liberals against Trump". But in reality, she might actually just fuel the people who like Trump. "The good that she would she does not". My Grandpa told me that "a ladder, in order to stand up, needs something to push up against". In the Church, the Church often "fights against homosexuality". Many Churches lack substance. They lack research and exploration and discovery. For such a Church, what it needs to stand up, what it needs to keep its members bolstered and strong and maintain cohesivness, is an "enemy". I don't think when the Israelites defeated the Amorites when the sun stood still, this was a literal battle. The sun standing still represents the flow/ pure awareness/ timeless moment. When you re in the flow, you no longer have enemies, your enemies dissolve because you attain oneness. When you have enemies and something to hate and attack, this is a form of self confirmatory behavior. Having an enemy confirms the illusion that "you are a Christian, and you have homosexual enemies to attack and hate". By having an enemy, you maintain cohesiveness, and ironically you support your enemy. The homosexuals themselves have the illusion that they are "homosexuals". They might be focused on the ego self. They are also not in the flow. One side is not good, one side is not bad, they are pretty much the same thing- they have the same software. They have not transcended dualsitic ego software to mutual particiaption/ oneenss/ compassion/ self transcendence/ inquiry/ discovery.
Somebody who hates Trump might say "Trump is a piece of crap". The Trump supporters say "see we are persecuted- we need to fight back- no libtards are pieces of crap". So the person who judged Trump wants to "hurt Trump", but she has the same software and just supports the same software that her "enemies" have. Jesus said "do not judge, lest ye be judged". My Grandpa told me that there is a difference between judging and discerning. Somebody can discern "Trump has ally enemy dualsitic ego software- he claims to be a nationalist- anybody who does not agree with Trump Trump sees as an enemy and talks down to- Trump has top dog underdog software". That is discerning. It does not entail any attitude/ judgement. But when  you speak with attitude, my Grandpa said, then you are judging, and not disccerning. Clarity and transparency is discerning. Judgement, is when what you say has attitude in it, and it puts down somebody. When you speak with judgement, you yourself have superior inferior ego software, and you are usually no different than the person you judge, or in most cases your software is more primitive.
My Grandpa told me that Rachel Maddow is an example of a person who is very discerning and does not speak with judgemenet or attitude. Maddow says things very transparently, and points out real problems and concenrs. But my Grandpa said on Fox news, the people tend to usually speak with a great amount of attitude. For instance, Tucker Carlson tends to have superior inferior ego software. The way that you say something determines if it is judgemental or not- the attitude and motivation behind what you say. Sometimes somebody can say something under inspiratin that seems like attitude, but it emerged from the flow. My Grandpa said that Chris Matthews from CNN tends to be judgemental/ speak with atttude/ tries to dominate. He is action oriented and talks over people.
My Grandpa told me that Obama was an effective president. Obama worked towards mutual participatoin/ oneness. Obama tried to help break people free of nationalism. My Grandpa said that nationalism is usually "ally enemy" dualsitic ego sfotware. When you are a nationalist, you have to have ally nations that are on your side, and see enemies who are against you. Obama at least worked toward cooperation.
One time somebody posted on FaceBook a picture of a Muslim sitting during the national anthem. The person said "if you don't like America then get out". The person had top dog underdog dualsitic ego software. My Grandpa told me there was a spiritual aspiraiton in the Muslim family sitting during the national anthem. The family may "hate America". If that is true then they have superior inferior dualitic ego software. But it is also possible that they have mutual participation sotware, adn they want to transcend nationalism/ ally enemy software towards onenes. It can't be known for sure, but that could be the spiritual aspiration behind their action.
Recently I saw a guy make a post on FaceBook that showed a picture of White people with animals that they hunted in Africa. The guy who made the post was "Black" and he wrote "Its ok to to hate Michael Vick, but its not ok to hate these White people", or something like that. The person who made the post had "good guy v bad guy" dualsitic ego software. He is trying to say "Michael Vick is good", and the "White people are bad". The fact of the matter is that Michael Vick is not good or bad. Michael Vick had predator prey action oriented, impersonal dualstiic ego. Therefore he liked to see animals hurt each other and he hurt animals. That is not "who Michael Vick is". Michael Vick can upgrade that software. But the White people who hunted in the Safari are not "good or bad" either. The White people also had predator prey impersonal dualistic ego software. The guy who made the post was not in the flow. He had dualstiic good guy v bad guy software. Michael Vick was not in the flow. He had predator prey software. The White hunters who hunted in the Safari were not in the flow. They had predator prey duaslitic ego sfotware.
I remember I saw a post by a Muslim guy who posted a picture of a nun wearing a burka and a picture of a Muslim woman wearing a burka. He then said "why is nobody upset that a nun covers her hair, but people hate it that the Muslim woman wears a burka". Then somebody responded in the comment section "because Christian nuns don't blow themselves up".
The Muslim guy who made the post had good guy bad guy dualsitic attitudinal ego software. He is trying to say that Muslims are the good guys and people who don't like Muslims are the bad guys. He has right v wrong dualistic ego software. He is right, and people who disagree with him are wrong. My Grandpa told me that Facebook for the most part is filled with "good guy bad guy" dualsitic ego sfotware.
The fact of the matter is, the Muslim woman wearing the burka is not "good or bad". You have to look at her software. Maybe she is wearing the burka as a ritual. If she is wearing the burka to "get brownie points from God", then she has superior inferior dualtici ego software She wants to go to heaven and be superior. My Grandpa would say she has a "personalist" perspective of God, seeing God as a magical figure in the sky that rewards people who do what he wants. My Grandpa said the personalist perspective of God limits God. Maybe the woman wears the burka because she likes to be inferior/ she thinks that being inferior makes her superior. For instance, the woman might think that "having a lot of babies is important". Maybe she doesn't even really believe in God, but she sees the world through a genetic Darwinist framework, and she thinks that its important to have a lot of children. Maybe she thinks that whatever race she likes the best will be the best off if the women in it submit to men and wear burkas as a gesture of this and have as many babies as possible. As a result she has superior infeiror dualstici ego software. She wants to be superior, and the way she feels superior is by contributing to her race having the most children. The problem with this software is, that same software is what contributes to wars and genocide and a lot of pain and suffering. She may "want to please God" by wearing the Burka, so that she can go to heaven. She wants to go to heaven and be sueprior/ superior inferior ego software. That same software can contribute to her ironically cheating on her husband with a "more sexy man", so that she can have "more sexy children" that are superior. She has not upgraded her software to the transperosnal/ mutual particiaption/ inquiry software, but she is still self centered.
The nun might also wear her head covering because of dualsitic ego software. Or she may wear the head covering as a ritual. My Grandpa told me that if it is done as a ritual, then it is beneficial because any ritual is beneficial in that it takes people out of their imprisonment to habits, circumstances, and other people.
But the person who made the FaceBook post had good guy v bad guy dualsitic ego software. That software does not really contribute to anything beneficial. It is not helpful to say who is right and who is wrong/ right v wrong dualistic ego softwar,e or who is good and who is bad/ good v bad duaslitic ego software, but it is just beneifial to look at software. And it is also important to recognize that people are not their software, and they can upgrade their software.
I remember looking on FaceBook and a guy posted a video of a Black Muslim guy arguing that "it is ok to marry 13 year old girls, Muhammad married 13 year old girls and it is ok" He was yelling this at a group of White guys who were adamently disagreeing with him- right v wrong dualistic ego software. The guy who made the post said something like "Islam is evil". To say that Islam is evil is right v wrong, good guy v bad guy dualsitic ego software. People say that "religion is evil" or "Islam is evil". It is more helpful to look at software. Why would the man say that it is ok to marry 13 year old women. We don't know. Maybe the man looks at the world thorugh a predator prey dualsitic genetic Darwinian lense. He might think that if women get married at the age of 13 then the race that he identifies with will have the more babies, and thus he will be "winning"/ superior inferior dualsitic ego software. Maybe the guy who was arguing that women should be married at the age of 13 was saying this because he wanted attention/ a form of self confirmatory behavior/ he wants to be superior and attentin makes him feel superior/ superior inferior dualstiic ego software. He is focused on his self and has not transcended his self. Maybe he is truly a religious fundamentalist and he thinks that he is "upholding the true faith". He thinks that by doing so he will belong with other Muslim fundametnalists. Then he has insider outsdier dualistic ego software.
The fact of the matter is that "marrying a 13 year old girl" is not good or bad- that is dulasitc god or bad ego software. It is not helpful to say if something is right or wrong, or good or bad, it is just helpful to try to discern the software of the person- what are his motivations.
The person who made the post said "see Islam is evil". First off, it is debatable if Muhammad married a 13 year old girl. It is only hadiths that say this, and even Muslims argue that the youngest woman Muhammad married could have been 21 years old. People chose to believe that she was 13 and focus on that for whatever ego motivations they have. Also, if you look at the historical context of Muhammad, Muhammad did make strides in helping women. Many women in Arabia were buried alive because the families wanted sons. Killing somebody is predator prey dualsitic ego software. Also, the people wanted to have sons. Maybe they wanted to be superior/superior inferior dualsiticc ego software, and they thought that sons would make them superior. A son can have more children than a woman can and thus he can increase the number of your genes going to future generations and the strength of your family/clan. So killing women could have been a product of dualsitic predator prey superior inferior ego software. Muhammad worked to prevent the practice of killing daughters.
People argue that Islam allows polygamy and thus mistreats women. But I have heard liberal Muslims scholars say again that Muhammad was actually protecting women and men by "limiting" the number of wives men could have. Before Muhammad limited the number of wives to four, men could have unlimited wives. Muhammad recommends men to only marry one wife, but he says that if men must marry more than one, to limit it to four. As a result, Muhammad was protecting people from immaturity/ immature software. Some men might want to be the most superior and have "a hundred wives and a hundred children". They therefore engage in a lot of self indulgence/ self confirmatory behavior/ sense gratification. Women moreover, would want to be with the man with the "biggest harem". This man was the "strongest", so he would have the "most powerful children". The women would want to have strong powerful children. This would be due to the women's "superior inferior ego software". They want to have the most superior children with the most superior man. By chosing the most superior man to mate with, the women were also practicing self confirmatory behavior, and there is no self. My Grandpa told me that there is no self. By limiting the number of wives to four, Muhammad was actually protecting people from their immaturity. Liberal Muslim scholars say that Muhammad would have limited the number of wives to one, but he had to work within the system of Pre Islamic Arabia where people tended to have primitive ego software. So he could not make changes that were too drastic. If he limited the number of wives to one, then many of the men would not have accepted the religion, and therefore Islam would not have survived. So Muhammad had to make concessions.
It is very important to discern the software of people. For instance, I saw a Muslim on FaceBook make a post saying "Muhammad taught us to love and respect women". But then he would make posts where he was angry at women for "dressing like sluts" and so on and so fourth. To "love and respect" women sounds "transpersonal", but he coud say this from an impersonal patronizing software. It is true, there are immature women with dualsitic ego software who try to seduce men/ predator prey software, where they make men their prey. But a man who has transcended duasltic ego sfotware would not be tempted. I wastched the Shiva Mahapuran, and there are men worshipping Shiva, and to test their sincerity, temptress women are sent to dance in front of the men. The men are not seduced and they say that somebody who is truly a devotee of Shiva is not tempted by women trying to seduce them.
I remember being at a study with Orthodox Jews. The Rabbi described a story where an Orthodox Jew was given prostitutes for his birthday, and the Orthodox Jew did not have sex with them. There was another story of Rabbi Akiva, who was given women to sleep with when he was staying with a noble in the Roman Empire. He chose not to sleep with the women. The noble was angry that Rabbi Akiva did not sleep with the women. A Jew at the study said "if my son was given prostitutes for his birthday I would want him to sleep with them to show he that he is not gay- that he is a man. The Jew who said that had "superior inferior ego software". He wants his son to "not be gay/ not be inferior". Superior inferior ego software leads to fighting and a lot of problems. In transpersonal software, the boy would "not have sex with the prostitutes" not to be superior. He would not "hate the prostitues", and he would not "ignore the prostitutes". My Grandpa told me that if you ignore something, you are still focused on it, you are just focused on ignoring it. He would also not indulge in the prostitues/ self confirmatory behavior. Hating the prostitutes is also self confirmatory behavior/ that is still dualsitic ego software. Somebody with transpersonal ego software would just be focused on inquiry and self expansion/ self transcendence, and thus any desire for prostitutes would dissolve. Many men would want to "prove they are not gay", or "prove they are men", and "fuck the shit out of the prostitues". He might want to be an insider with the macho men/ insider outsider dualsitic ego software. That is dualsitic ego software. If the Orthodox Jew however, did not have sex in order to be superior/ prove how righteous he was, that is still dualsitic ego software sueprior ifnerior software. You cannot transcend the ego with the ego/ salvation cannot come through the ego. If the Orthodox Jew did not have sex in order to "belong with other Orthodox Jews", then that is not the flow/ that is insider outsider ego software and is still self confirmatory behavior- and the self is an illusion.
More on the topic of Islam. Somebody posted on FaceBook an article about a Muslim teacher who said "women have inferior brains and that is why women should not be allowed to drive". The teacher claimed that this idea that women have inferior brains was backed by the Quran. There is a passage in the Quran that says that when a woman is giving testimony in court, she needs to be accompanied by another woman. But a man can give testimony by himself. The Muslim scholar said that women have inferior brains and thus women are too emotional and sensitive, and they need to be accompanied by another woman by giving testimony. The man who posted the article by the Muslim scholar said something like "Islam is poison".
The guy who posted the article had good guy bad guy dualstic ego software. He is saying that atheism/Christianity is good, and Islam is bad. There is no "good guy or bad guy", there is just software and the consequences of software. But people can upgrade their software.
We cannot be sure the motivation/ software of the Muslim teacher. Maybe he does not want women to drive because of superior inferior dualistic ego software. Maybe he sees things through a genetic Darwinian lense. He might want his preferred race to have a lot of children, and thus he thinks that women should stay at home and make a lot of babies to protect and promote his preferred race/ superior inferior dualsitic ego software. My Grandpa taught me that having a family can be beneficial in ones development. When you have kids, that can help to take you out of your self/ self preoccupation. Raising children can be a creative project that helps you to grow up and wake up and mature/ helps in your development. Also creating children that are synergistic members of society helps to contribute to the antientropic reordering evolutionary aspect of existence. But if you have children to be superior/ superior ifnerior duasltiic ego software, then it is not beneficial.
The Muslim teacher could have had top dog underdog software. He wants to be the top dog and wants women to be the underdog. I described before that many women have top dog underdog dualsitci ego software and they like to be the underdog. It is self confirmatory and a lot of people want to confirm the self illusion.
But I listened to Muslim scholars who were liberal discuss the same passage. These Muslim scholars pointed out that in more liberal Muslim countries, women are allowed to give testimony by themselves. But these liberal Muslims still claim that "the Quran is being folowed". How is that possible when Muhammad tells the people that the woman when giving testimony is to be accompanied by another woman? The liberal Muslim scholars say again, that Muhammad was giving a "concession to a work in progress". Muhammad had to deal with the immaturity of people in the society of Pre Islamic Arabia. Many of the people had top dog underdog software and they wanted women to not be allowed to give testimony in court at all. I want to make it clear that this is no "shovenism", or "patriarchy", or "sexism". My Grandpa told me there is no such thing as "sexism". There is no such thing as "racism". There is just different levels of software and their consequences. Maybe the men wanted women to stay at home so they can make a lot of babies for them, and thus they can be superior because their clain, or they had the most children and that was a mark of superiority/ superior inferior dualstic ego software. Maybe a lot of the women also had superior inferior dualtici ego software, and they thought being inferior made them superior, so they also agreed with the law that women should not give testimony in court. It doesn't even matter if the woman "agreed or disagreed". To agree with something or disagree with something is not "inquiry". When you agree, that is insider outsider dualstic ego software. You agree so you are an insider with people who agree with you. In inquiry/ the flow you do not disagree or agree but you stay open and you inquire. Regardless, many people in Pre Islamic Arabia did not want women to be alowed to give testimony at all.
Muhammad BPBUH made a concession, and allowed women to give testimony. But Muhammad could not "go too far". He did not want to shake things up too much, or people would not accept Islam. So Muhammad said, "a woman can give testimony, and have her be accompanied by another woman". Liberal Muslim scholars say that Muhammad could have said "have her be accompanied by a man". But Muhammad chose to have her be accompanied by another woman. They say that Muhammad was trying to make steps/ concessions in the upgrading of the peoples software at the time. And these liberal Muslims scholars say, that if Muhammad could have, he would have allowed women to give testimony by themselves. So they say that is why in more liberal Muslim countries, women can give testimony on their own, and it does not contradict the Quran, but it is in allignment with the Quran and its intentions.
I recall that somebody posted on FaceBook a while ago a post about Muslims "throwing gays off of roof tops", and the person said something like "Islam 'the religion of peace' my ass". The person who made the post had "good guy bad guy dualstiic ego software". He is tring to say that Islam is bad and Christianity/Atheism is good. The post is "judgemental", and it is said with attitude. It is not discerning. Good guy v bad guy, right v wrong, dualsitic ego softwre is not helpful. It just stirs the pot and creates arguments and the arguments go nowhere because there is no right or wrong, there is no good guy or bad guy. There is just software and the consequences of software.
The guys throwing "gays" off of rooftops have predator prey dualsitic ego software. Maybe the people are throwing them off of roofs becaue they believe in genetic Darwinism/ superio infeiror dualstiic ego software. They might think that it is important to have "as many children as possible". They might think that because they want whatever race they prefer to have the most babies and "win"/ genetic DArwinism. They think that gays are contrary to this being superior. Maybe they truly think that the Quran says to kill gays. Then they are killing gays because they want to belong/ insider outsider ego software, and fit in with other fundamentalist Muslims. They are not in the flow/ transcendence of ego dualsitic software.
The fact of the matter is though, the Quran does not teach to throw gays off roofs. And similarly, as in the case with women, Muhammad was not "hateful towards gays", but in reality was making concessions to help people to upgrade their software. Before Muhammad, gays probably could have been thrown off roofs and there would have been no problem with it. But Muhammad said that there needs to be "four witnesses seeing the penetration ocurring" in order for the "gay" to get the death penalty. That would never/ rarely happen, and would probably only happen if people were actively hunting the gay people and had spy cameras in the "gays" room. When the Orlando Shooter shot "gay people" he had predator prey superior inferior ego software. His employees said that the Orlando shooter would "say racist things". The Orlando shooter had superior inferior ego software and he was very self preoccupied. So it makes sense that he "sad racist things against Black people". Ironically, after the shooting, a Black person on Facebook posted an article that said "the Orlando shooter did not shoot Black women hiding in the bathroom because he said 'you Black people have been through enough, I won't shoot you'". The Black person who made this post was trying to reason that the "Orldando shooter was trying to fight the gay agenda in order to help Black people who are being hurt by the gay agenda". The person who made that post had "good guy bad guy software". He was trying to say the Orlando shooter was a good guy. But the Orlando shooter was not good or bad. The reality was the Orlando shooter did say "racist things" against Black people. He probably only said that to the Black women in the bathroom so that they could tell others he was a "good guy". The guy was self absorbed and wanted to make himself look "noble" and "admirable". He had a very restricted narrow limited software and was obsessed with the protection and promotion of his self. When it suited him with his employees, he would say things bad about Black people, because he thought that would make them like him / insider outsider belonging ego software. During the shooting he tells the Black people "I won't kill you, you Blacks have been through enough in Ameria as it is". He did not do this because he had "transcendenta awareness". He did this so he could try to seem "admirable". The Black guy who made the post saying that he was a "good guy" also wanted to be superior. He thought that Blacks should stop being gay and have more children- superior infeiror ego software, maybe because he identfies as Black and thinks that by Balcks having more children he will be superior, because more of his genes will be propogaged. Or maybe the Black guy was a troll. Regarldess, he had dualsitic ego software.
The Quran is not "against gays or for gays". Gay sex is a form of self confirmatory behavior like any sex is. Even heterosexual sex is self confirmatory behavior. Jesus said "fornicators will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven". Paul said that he recommended not to have sex at all, but if you absolutely have to, do so within marriage. He said this out of a concession.
My Grandpa told me that he thought that the legalization of gay marriage was beneficial. My Grandpa told me that in transpersonal consciousness, you do not identify as anything, 'man woman, gay or straight, male or female". Paul said "in Christ there is no male or female, Jew nor Greek". You are not attached to any identity. My Grandpa said that when people "fight against gay marriage", they are not helping people attain transpersonal consciousness. When you fight against something, you often support it. My Grandpa said that in order for a ladder to stand, it needs a wall to lean against. If you fight against gays then gays feel that they need to fight back to uphold their ego identities. You do not have to "encourage" somebody in his belief that he is gay either. If you have inspiration and intuition, then you can discern what is most appropriate. But my Grandpa said that there are many people who claim to be gay that have mutual participation/ oneness software, and there are many people who claim to be heterosexual that have primitive ego dualsitic software. My Grandpa told me that "oral sex" is for sense gratification and a form of self confirmatory behavior. It is a way to dominate, or be dominated/ predator prey top dog underdog software. But oral sex is not "made illegal". It would not help. There is no formula. My Grandpa said that people who claim to be "heterosexual", are also incorrect. In the flow, in Christ, you transcend all identities.
There is no formulas. Laws are made to protect people from their immaturity. For instance, having gay marriage be legal protects people from their immaturity of "fighting against gays" for ego motivations. But under intution/ inspiration there is no formula, somebody may decide not to "bake a cake" for a gay person, because he discerns that it will not help the gay person in the evolution of his consciousness. Laws can be made that can protect people from their immaturity who will not bake cakes out of ego motivations and not inspiration, and it is important to follow laws.
In the flow/ inspiration, there is no formulas, but in the flow whatever decision you make is the best/ most benefiical. For instance, my Grandpa said that in the flow, someobody may discern that making laws not allowing certain immigrants into a country is the most beneficial. If there are immigrants who have primitive dualsitic ego software and thus would be dangerous to a country, then under inspiration it can be discerned to not allow them into the country.
Kant said that people should follow a "categorical imperative", where there are a defined set of things that people should do and should not. For instance, Kant said that people should "always not lie". Whenever somebody lies it is wrong. So people should not lie no matter what.
Bhisma in the Mahabarata was a Kantian. There is a story in the Mahabarata where people come to Bhisma asking where somebody is who they want to kill. Bhisma is a Kantian and he just "does what the rule book says to do". The rule book of morality says that lieing is bad, so he never lies, and he tells the murderers where the people they want to kill are. Later in the Mahabarata Krishna tells Bhisma that "he thought that he was doing good, but he will go to hell for that". Bhisma did not act under intuition and inspiration, but he just followed the rule book- he was a Kantian. My Grandpa told me that Kant had a spiritual aspiration- "there is one perfect way- one best way to do things". But that way is the flow. My Grandpa told me that Christians are also correct when they say "that Christ is the only way". It is true there is only one true way- one perfect way- and that way is the flow. But the paradox is, you cannot make the flow happen- you can only help to make the flow possible by developing yourself and preparing yourself to be caught up into it.
One time I listened to a philosopher say that "if you saw a boy drowning, you should always save the boy no matter what". But my Grandpa told me that in the flow there is no formula. Maybe if you saved the boy from drowning, that boy would end up becoming a serial killer. In the flow, you might not save the boy, and you would not rationally know why you did not save the boy, but by not saving him you did what was most beneficial. Bhisma in the Mahabarata would follow the rule book and "always save the boy". And that probably woud be the best thing to do 99.9 percent of the time. But if somebody is truly connected with the flow, then he might not save the boy. However, it is important to note that the flow is not somebody's "feelings and impulses"- that comes from the self. The flow is truly divine inspriation from a higher dimension outside of the self. A lot of people do not think that higher dimension exists, but I have experienced enough in my life that I would hopefully not discount it.
I will explain to you all more the importance of being able to discern software. There is a rap called "Christ Bearer- the God". In the song the rapper says that "He is God". The assertion that one is God can come from transcendent oneness consciousness/ the flow. But also saying that you are God can be a way for somebody to feel "superior"/ superior inferior ego software.
There is a story that Ram Dass visited his brother in a psych ward. Ram Dass brother claimed to be God. Ram Dass's brother told Ram Dass, "I'm no more crazy than you, you claim that you are God too, but you are outside of this psych ward because you have followers who support you, and I'm in the psych ward because I don't". Ram Dass told his brother "I'm outside of the psych ward because I think that I am God and everybody else is God, you are in the psych ward because you think that you are only God".
Even Ram Dass however, may not have had transpersonal transcendental software in that case. You can never be sure. Maybe Ram Dass "memorized" that "everybody is God", and he just said that because he got social approbation for saying it/ it made him an insider/ insider outsider dualstiic ego software. If that is the case, Ram Dass was not in the flow either. Ram Dass might have had more freedom and flexibility than his brother, but neither may have been in the flow. In the flow you are not attached to any "formulas" or "dogmas" whether it be "I am God" or "everybody is God" or "nobody is God", but in the flow you are open to inspiration/ intuition/ the Truth/ new discoveries/ evolution. I listened to a Rabbi describe that Jews are not supposed to build idols because "idols are stagnant". You cannot evolve an idol. But Jews can make monuments where you build rocks upon each other because you can add to the monument or subtract to the monument/ the monument can evolve. When you have memorized a formula/ dogma, you have built an idol. But when you are building a monument you are open to evolution. If Ram Dass said "I am God and so is everybody else" because people liked him for saying that/ he wanted to be superior/ superior inferior ego software, then he was not in the flow. But if Ram Dass said that out of inspiration and a true authentic awareness of oneness, then he was in the flow. If Ram Daas memorizes that and becomes attached to that interpration however, they he cannot be in the flow because if you are attached to anything you cannot be open to new discoveries and insight, and the old insight becomes stale. My Grandpa told me "everybody is full of shit". Everybody is full of their old discoveries and epiphanies that they hold onto as shit. You gotta let the shit go. The insight is beneficial in its inception, but if you cling to it then you cannot be open to new inspiration. If you are in a basketball game and you do an amazing move, the next play you might try to do that move again. But then you would not be spontaneous and in the flow. The perfect move emerges spontaneously. When I was considered the best player in the nation by many, I was very free and spontaneous. I did not memorize moves, but at every moment I was completely in the zone, not aware of what I would do next, or even what I was doing.
I remember a Rabbi said how the Cohenim had to get rid of the ashes of the sacrifice from the fire. He asked us what he thought that meant. I said the fire is the flow. Out of the flow comes insights/ epiphanies. But they become ash and you have to discard the ash. There is the temptation to hold onto it/ make a religion/ memorize. But if you are in the flow you have to be sponataneous and open to new insight. If you think you have it all figured out, then you can't be.
In the case of Christ Bearer's rap song "A God" Christ Bearer claims to be God, but most likely his assertion emerged from superior inferior ego dualistic software. https://youtu.be/u90yGYn6dO8
In the rap video he is shaking hands with some "White" guys with confederate flags. They give off the impression of having "top dog underdog" dualsitic ego software. They are rocking to the song beause they also have dualsitic superior inferior ego software, and they like the idea of being God too. It does not emerge from an awareness fo oneness, most likely, but from the ego.
Jus Allah is another rapper who claims to be God, most likely from superior inferior dualsitic ego software and not from the flow. In his rap song "Arabic terrorists" Evildead talks about "slashin" at peoples "cabbages". This is predator prey dualistic ego software. Evildead says "thats a joke like gay marriage". It is judgemental to call gay marriage a joke- superior inferior dualsitic ego software. In the Bible it says "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." The fruit of the Spirit is kindness. When people call something a joke they are speaking with attitude, and that is judgemental. Evildead is not "bad" or "good", to say so would be good guy bad guy dualstiic ego software. It is only helpful to discern software. Evildead has dualsitic ego software- mostly impersonal predator prey oriented.
It is possible however, that EvilDead and Jus Allah are trolls and they are making fun of people who take reality seriously. For instance, I asked my Grandpa what he thought about Boonk gang. Boonk Gang is a "Black" guy that steals from people and runs away and laughs. My Grandpa said he thought Boonk Gang was funny and he said its great when people don't take reality seriously. He said that Boonk Gang shakes people up and takes them out of their daily habits and routines.
My Grandpa told me that in every system there is four forces. There is the force of conservation, the force of dissolution, the force of liberalism, and the force of destruction. All of the forces are necessary and important. My Grandpa told me that "pirates who steal" can be the destructive force, and there is a spiritual aspiration behind pirates. Maybe people hold onto wealth too much- they are attached. When you are attached you are not in the flow. In the flow you are open to inspration, but if you are holding onto anything that prevents you from following that inspiration you are not in the flow. The people that the pirates stole from might have felt superior/ superior inferir ego software- they were maybe self absorbed. Maybe the pirates helped break them free of their self absorption. Maybe not, but regardless, there is a spiritual aspiration behind what the pirates did.
My Grandpa told me that comedians are beneficial because they help people to not take themselves so seriously/ if people take themselves very seriousy they are absorbed in the self- and the flow is transcendence of the ego self.
I asked my Grandpa what he thought was better, rap music like Snoop Dogg, where Snoop Dogg says "bitches aint shit but hoes and tricks", or Country Music that is patriotic oriented insider outsider belonging, and that glorifies special relationships/ self confirmatory behavior?
My Grandpa taught me that the Christian Church for the most part is self confiratory oriented. It does not teach the transcendence of the ego self, but it teaches the saving of the self for the afterlife- it does not teach self transcendence but teaches self absorption. A lot of religious people in general might act "kind" but it is a "fake kindness". They are really self absorbed- they are not in the flow- and their kindness has alterior motives- one of which might be "to go to heaven". Yes, "the fruit of the spirit is kindness", but just because youare kind does not mean you are in the flow.
My Grandpa and I would watch the Christian channel on TV, like Billy Graham, and watch them sing. Sometimes my Grandpa said some of the musicians were pretty good, but my Grandpa said that for the most part the singing in Christianity is "emotionalism" and "sentimentalism". My Grandpa said that emotionalism and sentimentalism is self absorption- it sucks you into your self. My Grandpa told me that meditative chants like "Hey Ram" are more beneficial for self transcendnece, because they are calming and harmonious and help one to transcend his thoughts/ self concern/preoccupatoin/ thoughts that are shaped by the ego.
I told my Grandpa that "Asians are stereotypically meditative, does that mean that Asians are superior to Black people who are stereotypcially more action oriented". I told my Grandpa that in Black Churches the Black people often sing dance and clap. My Grandpa told me that "by raising your level of aliveness, you make it more likely to get into the flow". If you are in a basketball game and you are depressed then you can't flow. But if you are alive and vibrant you will be more likely to flow. Different people have different propensities and different ways that they are more likely to get into the flow. Emotinalism can get you into the flow- it is better than being inhibited. For instance, somebody may "not have sex with women" because they are inhibited. Their "not having sex" is coming from the ego- they are not having sex not because they are in the flow- but because they are inhibited. Just because a Buddhist may seem peaceful, does not mean he is in the flow. He may just be inhibited- he may not have transpersonal awareness/ oneness, but he may have impersonal awareness- where he is still self absorbed and his awareness is still restricted and narrow. There is no formula for the flow. The Buddhist may say he is not attached to anything, but he may be attached to trying to be not attached. You can gain the flow when you lose yourself in something larger than yourself/ creative projects. If you try to be in the flow, you are not in the flow. The ego can't transcend the ego. The Buddhist may have a true compassion/ awareness of oneness, and be in the flow, but at the same time, somebody can give the appearance of compassion, but he can do it so that he can feel superior/ superior inferior ego software, or be an insider/ insider outsider ego software.
I asked my Grandpa what was better, a Snoop Dogg rap where Snoop says "I fuck a bitch never love a bitch", or a Country Music rap that glorifies country and a "special relationship with a woman". My Grandpa told me that to say "fuck a bitch" is impersonal predator prey ego software. But a country music singer saying "I love my girl more than anything in the world" is about a special relationship/ belonging software. A special relationship is self confirmatory.
My Grandpa told me that to say "I love you" to somebody is a lie. My Grandpa told me that "I love you" is always a lie. There is no "I" and there is no "you". Everything is one. I once asked my Grandpa why it is that the Bible says not to perform idol worship. My Grandpa told me that if you worship an idol, lets say a statue of a God, then this implies dualism- it implies separation. If you are worshipping an idol, you are imagining that you are separate from that idol, that you are one thing and that idol is a separate thing that you are praying to. You are here, and the idol is there. But there is no space or time. This is dualsitic conscioiusness. Really there is no thing- everything is one. Physicla matter is an illusion- as the Vedantists say- everything is consciosuness- or as other spiritual say- everything is energy. It is not tangible- it is not palpable- it is apophati- nothing can be said about it.
My Grandpa told me that to say to somebody "I love you" is a lie. You can be "loving"- you can be a beneficial presence- an agent within the antientropic reordering functio of existence. But to say "I love you" implies duality. My Grandpa said that love is the flow. The flow is oneness/ inspiration/ self transcendence.
When Snoop Dogg says "fuck a bitch never love a bitch", at least he is not involved in sentimentalism/ self confirmatory special relationship belonging software. But at the same time, he does not have transcendent consciosuenss. The consciousness is more impersonal. Whent he country music singer sings about "I love my girl more than anybody in the world", or when the popular singer sings about "his baby" and how much he "loves his baby", this is interpersonal belonging oriented special relationship consciousness. It is still self confirmatory. Transpersonal consciousness is breaking free of the self towards oneness/ inquiry/ self expansion/ expansion of awareness. I think that the raps that I wrote when I was younger would be an example of transcendent artwork, because they were very philosophical but at the same time they weren't preachy- but they emerged from a higher harmony. The original raps were thrown away.
My Grandpa told me that he thought Mozarts music was effective in helping to raise consciousness to transcendent consciousness. He told me that Mozarts music is not "preachy" like Beethovens. He said that in Beethovens music, he tries to preach the Universe to people. But Mozarts music is just harmonious in the flow connected to a hgher harmony- it is meditative- it is not boaring- it is fun and energetic- it is perfect. It takes you beyond yourself and points beyond itself.
My Grandpa told me that rap music can help to raise ones level of aliveness, same with rock music. That type of music can at least get you to jump around and break you out of lethargy, and if you have a high energy you are more likely to get in the flow than if you are lethargic. But my Grandpa said that ultimately rock music and rap music are more self confiratory- loud- and acall more attention to the self than fasciliate self transcendence. My Grandpa told me he never liked the beatles, but I think he told me he liked Santana and some blues music. Interestingly, once I was listening to Migos and my Grandpa said he liked the way they rapped. He also told me that he liked my raps but too bad they were thrown away. He said they were very good raps and very good philosophical content but my original raps were thrown away.
I am going to show you all some lyrics from DMX and show you all why it is important to be able to discern software. DMX in one of his raps yells "fuck you f----". To call somebody a "f----" is top dog underdog dualsitc ego software. Then ironcially later DMX says "suck my dick". That again is top dog underdog dualsitic software/ predator preydualsitc ego software. It is impersonal software where you see the other person as an object.
It has to be noted that DMX grew up in the ghetto. He grew up in an impoverished environemtn, and in such environments, predator prey duastiic ego software predominates. DMX is not "good or bad". He just has predator prey dualsitic ego software. Interestingly later in his rap he will say something like "Lord Jesus save me from the devil". He will often begin his raps preying. If DMX goes to Church a lot and studies the Bible a lot, that shows that he is seeking the Truth, and a lot of people who have been threw difficult times and grew up in poverty like DMX did try to seek the Truth/seek God and get greater clarity and awareness. My Grandpa told me that the devil is "dualsitic software". Devil comes from the word "double"- dual.
When people are in predator prey dualsitic ego software they are very absorbed in the self. That is why DMX wants to establish his dominance- his awareenss is restricted on the protection and promotion of his ego self. A lot of times people with predator prey software are "very religious". It is an established fact that pretty much everybody in prison is religious. There have been cases where Catholic Priests go to jail, after being accused of raping kids and they wear their priestly robes, and no prisoner ever touches them. I have watched documentaries on prison, and in one of the docuentaries, they talked to the priest who was accused of raping a child, and the priest talked about how priests who go to jail are never raped. The interesting thing is, normal people who are accused of raping children are raped all the time in jail, for raping children. The reason priests are never raped is prisoners tend to have predator prey dualsitc ego software and tend to be very focused on the protection and promotion of their ego selves. That is why most priosners go to jail, the crimes they committed, like thievery, or murder, require ones awareness to be very restricted and narrow. These people are very self absorbed. Such people commonly rape child molestors, because they want to establish their dominance and "punish" "f-----". But they won't touch a priest because they tend to be very concerned with their ego selves, and they don't want to go to hell. Its very ironic. Their predator prey software allows them to rape women, and kill and murder. They want to protect and promote the ego self, and rape and murder and are aspects of that. But they will not rape a priest because they are very concerned with teh protection and promotion of their ego selves, and they don't want to touch a priest because they don't want to go to hell.
Most people in prison are very religious. They tend to "fear God". People with predator prey duaslitci ego software tend to live their lives based on fear. The Bible says to "fear God", but my Grandpa told me the word fear isactually a mistranslation, and translates better into English as "be in awe of" God. My Grandpa said that fear locks you into the ego self- and restricts your awareness. Awe expands the slef and opens the self to the flow. My Grandpa said "be in awe of the flow".
50 Cent is a rapper who always wears a cross. 50 Cent says in his rap "Every night I pray to to God". Then later in the rap he talks about "'Homo' shot me, three weeks later he got shot back", implying that he retaliated against the man that shot him. I once was reading online an article where a man was trying to say "I don't think that 50 Cent is really religious, I think he's a satanist because he talks about killing people and selling drugs and then in the next line he'll talk about God". For this person it does not make any sense, but it makes complete sense to me. I have been friends with bloods and crips who were also very religious. I have also been friends with non religious people who were also violent. Being religious does not make you violent. But 50 Cent is very concerned with the protection and promotion of his ego self/predator prey ego software. Hand in hand with that is the fear of going to hell. So you can be religious and also be violent, and that is never suprising.
50 Cent also grew up in the ghetto, and in the ghetto he was raised in an environemtn where resources were scarce and an environment where there was a lack of education. In such an environment, predator prey software is rampant, and it is difficult to break free of it. My Grandpa watched the Tupac movie with me, and my Grandpa told me that Tupac came close to breaking free of duslic eego software, but he never quite made it. There were glimpses of him breaking free- he was inspired, but he it is very difficult, especially when everybody around you has that software and there is no sherpas to help take you beyond dualistic software.
I know a Mexican guy who is a Hare Krishna who has extremely dualstic ego software, but he is hyper religious. He was diagnosed as "bipolar" but he does not take medicine. I have encouraged him not to take medicine because in my opinion the medicine is very dangerous- and in my opinion its not medicine but it is more correctly described as a sort of poison, but he never took medicine anyways.
My friend is extremely religious towards Krishna. But at the same time he will talk about how he wants to "fuck these girls" and "those girls" and he gets people angry, and he gets kicked out of temples. But he really does believe in Krishna. And he really is very "afraid to go to hell". His extreme fear of hell is tied to his extreme desire for self preservation and promotion. His consciousness is very narrow and restricted on his ego self. He will tell me one second "Ryan I think that I have Jewish ancestry, my Grandpa had orange hair and he looked Jewish". He is very concerned with his ego identity/ ancestry. But then he will say stuff like "dude a lot of Jews are satanists huh- dude I fucking hate Nazis- Nazis are such fucking pieces of shit dude- I like the Jews because they poison White culture- I hate White people". But then he would say things that make me think he actually does White people and in reality he hates Jews.
I would think "My Mexican friend is pretending to be for Jews and against Whites, but really he hates Jews and loves White people". That's what it seemed like to me. He would be like "Ryan don't you fucking hate Nazis". It was around the time that he would say this to me that I started to really understand transpersonal consciousness, and I would tell my Mexican friend "dude you don't have to hate anybody- hating people is not going to help". My Mexican friend would tell me "aren't Nazis racist piece of shit- I hate fucking racist people- I like Jews because they try to mix all races together and shit". Again I would think to myself "it seems to me like my Mexican friend really likes White people and is pretending to hate them. Around this time I started to realize the validity of transperosnal psychology, and I would tell my Mexican friend, "there is no such thing as racism".
Whehter my Mexican friend "really hated Jews and liked people", or "really hated White people and liked Jews" does not matter at all. The fact of the matter is he had superior inferior dualstic ego software. And that doesn't really help anybody out. Its just immaturity. He had good guy bad guy duasitic ego software. He wanted to say "the Whites are the bad guys adn the Jews are the good guys". It doesn't matter if he really thought the opposite. What matters is he had dualsitic good guy bad guys software and that software is not helpful. There is no such thing as racism. There is just dualstiic ego software.
Then my Mexican friend would talk about how "reptilians run the planet". And then he would accuse me of being a reptilian. I would tell him "dude I'm not a reptilian". He would talk about how reptilians sacrifice babies and how evil reptilians are. Again, my friend was very fearful, very absorbed in the ego self, and a part of being very focused on the self is you imagine all sorts of terrible things out to get you. You imagine that there are many dangerous things that are threatening you. People with "schizophrenia" imagine this because their egos are so fragile. Then they develop very grandiose ideas of themselves to counter their fear. They say they are "Jesus" and they will "fight the evil fores against them". They are very preoccupied with the ego self and extremely focused on protecting and promoting it. They lack freedom and flexibility to break free of their focus on their selves. He would also say things that were "racist" against Black people when around people who he thought would appreciate that/ had superior inferior ego softare. He was just completely absorbed in ego identity.
It is extremely important to be able to discern software. I knew a "German" guy who was close to me who would talk about how he "thought everybody should cooperate". My Grandpa taught this guy who I knew, and the guy never truly understood my Grandpa. My Grandpa taught the flow, which is transcendence of the ego self. But the guy I knew thought my Grandpa taught cooperation.
Mutual participation is the flow. In mutual participation you transcend the self and focus on global projects. You are outside of hte self and have an awareness of oneness- this is not equality but oneness. As a result you are respectful and a harmonious person. Cooperation is a step towards mutual participation, but in cooperation you still are focused on the self and other- you are just "trying to get along". Getting along is a byproduct of the flow/ mutual participation. If you "try to get along" then you tend not to get along with people. Cooperation is interpersonal. Mutual participation is transpersonal. If you are playing basketballl and cooperating, you are tring to make people happy and you are not in the flow. You are trying to get along with people You are worried about keeping peole happy. If you are in the flow/ mutual participation, you lose yourself and self and other dissolves, and what you do is perfect. You are not focused on "being liked" or "belonging" but you belong anywyas and you are liked anyways because you are very effective- in the flow you are more effective.
The "German" guy I knew would tell me how "the cooperators are the good guys, and the people who are not cooperators like the capitalists are the bad guys". But he considered himself German and I would tell him "so the communist cooperators are the good guys and the Germans were bad guys- beause Germans were not cooperators". The German guy I knew would then say "well the Germans were protecting theemselves against the Communists". But at one moment he was saying communists were good and now he was confused saying they were bad.
My German friend had good guy bad guy dualsitic ego software. He wanted to say there were good guys and there were bad guys, but there is not good guys or bad guys, there is just dualsitic ego softare and its consequences.
First off my German friend himself just wanted to be superior/ superio inferior ego software. He would brag to me about how "on Hawaii he had these Samoan friends who loved him, he didn't know why", and he would brag to me how "tough they were and how they had these big parties and a guy came and tried to stop them from partying because of a noise complaint and one of hte Samona guys knocked him out". My Grerman friend wanted to be cool, he wanted me to think he was cool and he thought that if he told me about his cool, tough friends I would think he was cool. My German friend just wanted to be superior/ superior inferor ego software. He wanted me to like him- he wanted to be an insider/ insider outsider ego software- he wanted to belong. He thought that by "belieivng communists/ cooperators were good" he would get people to like him. He would try to talk prfound and like he was very intelligent, but he did not have true wisdom but he only spoke to sound smart so he could try to seem superior. I remember I sat at a table with him and there were girls near, and he started to try to talk loud like "yeah Ryan you got those quadrant books finished now its just time for you to get them published". He was trying to talk loud so that the girls could here and think that I was a cool author and then they would like us so that he could try to pick them up. He waned to be superior/ superior inferioe ego software.
The fact of the matter is communists are ot good guys or bad guys, captialists are not good guys or bad guys, elites are not good guys or bad guys, there is just software and the consequences of software. Sure there are rich peope with predator prey software, and they take advantage of poor people. There are communists with predator prey software like Stalin, who killed mahy people. That does not mean "communism is good or bad". It has nothing to do with communism- it has to do with software.
Its very important to be able to discern software. I remember. I remember going through FaceBook and a Black girl wrote on FaceBook "Why is it that we learn about Hitler in school, but we don't learn about King Leopold who killed 10 million Africans". The responses came in "because the Jews run the schools- because the Jews are White- because the Jews run the media".
The girl had superior inferior dualistic ego software. She thought that being the biggest victim made you superior. 10 million Africans were killed, and that was more than the Jews, so she was superior because she was more inferior, and being more inferior makes you more superior. She had dualsitic ego software.
Also she had good guy v bad guy software. She was trying to infer that the Jews were the good guys and the Black people were the good guys. The fact of the matter is there is no good guys or bad guys. There is software and its consequences. King Leopold was not "bad". He just had predator prey duasltstic ego software. Apparently he was brought up and probably beaten when he was child and treated poorly. Thats not an excuse, but he was brought up in an environemtn of "predator prey". He had dualsitic predator prey software and he killed a lot of Africans so that he could get a lot of rubber. He wanted to be superior/ superir ifnerior ego software. The White people who killed the Africans also had predator prey software. They were not "bad or good", they just never upgraded their software. And yes they probably were "religious Christians". That does not mean that Christianity is "bad or good". Chrsitianity has nothing to do with it. It really just has to do with software.
The Black girls post was just immature and the product of dulasitic good guy v bad guy ego software. Its only helpful to discern software. And FaceBook is full of "right v wrong" "good guy v bad guy" software. It was a lot moreso before Facebook started to censor the comments. (in my opinion the world has became a little more peaceful since FaceBook started to censor).
I recall a while ago going through FaceBook and I saw a Black girl talking about how "Black women should not have sex with White men." An Arab guy responsed, what if your brother had children with an Arab woman. The Black girl said something strange like "then he would have a "some derogatory term for Arabs" son.
This same girl was making posts like "in my opinion, whoever has power should use it for their own people". I forget how exactly she said it.
But when I first read these posts I thought to myself "maybe this woman is really a White guy pretending to be a Black woman". I thought maybe he was trying to justify racism by showing that "Black people can be racist too" and trying to make it very clear by pretending to be a Black woman. But I looked through her profile and she seemed to truly be a real woman.
But I noticed that she was a light skinned. So I thought to myself, "maybe she has White ancestry, like a White Dad or something, and really she is trying to pretend she is for Black people, but she is really trying to tell White people that "racism is ok" by saying "we are racist too- so you go ahead and be racist". So I sent her a message in her message box and asked her "you are light skinned, do you have White ancestry". She told me "no she does not". So I asked my Grandpa what this Black woman's deal was. I asked my Grandpa "is she run by genetic Darwinism, does she think that her race should stick with her race so her genes will thrive the most"- even though ironically she might hurt her race by making White people angry at her.
My Grandpa told me "all those theories about why she does what she does, does not matter. What matters is she has dualsitic ego software." If she was in fact half White, and saying that stuff because she liked White people and wanted to encourage them to be racist, she had superior infeior dualtiic ego software. She saw Whites as superior and wanted to help Whites out- because she identified as White. Even if she didn't identify as White, and had no White ancestry, she still had dualistic superior ifnerioe ego software. She was still obsessed with the ego self identity. The fact of hte matter is she is not "good or bad". She just has that software and she will face the consequences of that software. It actually might be good that she is so extreme. As Jesus said "it is better to be hot than luke warm". If you are hot you are more likely to get yourself in trouble, and the faster you get yourself in trouble the faster you will recognize the limitations of dualsitic ego software. If she was luke warm with dualsitic ego software, and never got herself in trouble, she may never break free of dualsitic ego software to the flow.
I recall one time looking on FaceBook at a video of a group of Black people and White people holding hands and singing Christian songs after one of the shootings of a Black person. A Black woman yelled "all that koombaya Jesus shit ain't gonna help nobody. We been praying to Jesus for 400 years and they still killing us. Cut it with all that praise Jesus sing song bull shit". I asked my Grandpa what he thought of the video. My Grandpa told me that she was right.
My Grandpa told me that koombaya, camp circles "lets al get along" is "sentimentalism". Sentimentalism and emotionalism suck a person into the ego self/ self preoccupatin. It does not expand the consciosuenss, but restricts it to the ego self body. Rodney King said "can't we all get along". If people "try to get along" they don't get along. Getting along is interpersonal, and it is a form of making things happen. People see through "koombaya" and see it as sappy and sentimentalist. Sentimentalism sucks people more into the ego self- and the ego self is the problem. Cooperation is when you focus on interperosnal getting along. Cooperation is a step in the right direction. But mutual participation is when you break free of the ego self and engage in projects larger than yourself. You lose yourself in mutual particiaption, and you are not focused on getting along, but getting along is a byproduct. Mutual particiaption is the flow, and the flow is a oneness that occurs when you transcend the ego self.
Donald Trump recently has been playing top dog underdog dualstiic ego software, making fun of Greta Thurnberg. My Grandpa told me that at Thurnbergs age, her desire to help the environement and throw herself passionately at a goal lie that is very appropriate and a step in her evolution.
I asked my Grandpa a while ago what he thought of Colin Kaepernik. My Grandpa told me that Kapernicck is calling attention to real problems. My Grandpa told me again though, people are never to blame, but software is to blame. it is true, there are policemen with primitive top dog underdog software. My Grandpa told me that motorcycle gang riders tend to have top dog underdog software.
I asked my Grandpa a while ago what he thought of Colin Kaepernik. My Grandpa told me that Kapernicck is calling attention to real problems. My Grandpa told me again though, people are never to blame, but software is to blame. it is true, there are policemen with primitive top dog underdog software. My Grandpa told me that motorcycle gang riders tend to have top dog underdog software. Motorcycle gang drivers tend to be very loud, and their facial expressins they try to give off the impresison that they are badasses. My Grandpa told me their software is not "attitudinal oriented" intepersonal, but also action oriented impersonal, where if you mess with them, they will beat you up.
I asked my Grandpa why some women like motorcylce drivers. My Grandpa told me that some women also have top dog underdog software, and they like to be the top dog and be witht the motorcyle driver who is the top dog. Also women tend to like to feel safe, and they might get the impression that they are safe wiht a tough guy motorcycle driver. Ironically they are often in more danger.
But my Grandpa told me there are police officers with top dog underdog dualstiic ego software. There are police officers who, due to superior inferior ego software, kill "Black" people. That's a fact. My Grandpa told me that Kaepernick is calling attention to the fact that it is important for people to upgrade their software, and there are police officers with primtiive duasltic ego software. But my Grandpa said that Kapernick just needs to be careful and not be "judgemental". If you are judgemental you speak and act with attitude, and that invites a backlash. If you have superior inferior ego software, then other people with superio rinferio ego software are going to react and try to make you inferior. And NFL fans tend to have primitive dualsitic ego software they like watching people beat each other up ont he football field. Kapernick most likely does not have transpersonal software, but regardless, he is calling attention to an important issue.
I will explain to you all some more examples of looking at the scriptures through a transpersonal lense. God in the Bible says "vengeance is mine". I asked my Grandpa, if God likes vengence, then how come it isn't ok for me to take vengance on people who I don't like? My Grandpa told me that the idea of God saying "vengance is mine" is for you to, yourself "not take vengance", and leave it to God/ the flow. If people act not in accordacne with the flow, then things work out to effect them in negative ways. You do not have to worry about, getting revenge. Vengence is Gods. Instead, you concern wyourself with upgrading your software to transperosnal oneness consciousness. In mutual particiaption oneness software, you are less likely to get enemies in the first place. 50 Cent wasn't shot nine times because he was "giving out candy to people". 50 Cent was dealing drugs and killing people and had predator prey ego software. If he upgraded his software to mutual participation/ the transpersonal he would be less likely to be shot and "need to take vengence".
My Grandpa told me that Uncle Tom in Uncle Tom's Cabin gets a lot of slack, but he actually was a character who had transpersoanl consciousness. My Grandpa said that Uncle Tom in the story did not fight the people who persecuted him, he did not submit to them either. He had transperosnal consciousenss and was a loving presence. My Grandpa said that even though he was killed, he would not have difficulty in the afterlife because he had authentic transcendent awareness in the book.
My Grandpa told me that in near death experiences, people describe there is an afterlife. My Grandpa said that the more you are attached to the ego self, the more diffciutl it is to break free of the ego self, and the more painful the afterlife is. Rothodox Jews describe that in the afterlife, is somebod is very attached to his body, he will continue to try to come back to his ego body. This cann make the transition very difficult. But if somebody is in the flow, then it is not as difficult apparently. Some Buddhsits, at the time of death, do not allow family members to be in the room, because they do not want to have an attachments near them when they make the transition. I told my Grandpa that the Norse cremated bodies, and they looked down on the Muslims who bury bodies. My Grandpa said that worrying about whether cremation or burial is superior is focus on the ego body, and the ego body is an illusion. In the flow you transcend the ego body to oneness.
I told my Grandpa that in the Bible it says about the Israelites "whever curses you will be cursed, whoever blesses you will be blessed". I asked my Grandpa if the Bible is saying the Israelites are superior. My Grandpa told me "whoever blesses period is blessed, whoever curses period is cursed". If you curse then you have dualsitic predator prey software. That software comes back to bite people. There is a Jewish idea that if somebody pretends to be hurt when he is not, he will actually get hurt. You could look at this magically, or you could also see it through software. If you pretend to e hurt, you probably have superior inferior ego software. You don't want to be inferior, so you pretend to be hurt. Maybe you don't want to play in the basketball game because you don't think you are good. So you pretend to be hurt. You want to be superior, so you protect yourself form shame. That same software can actually get you hurt. Later that week you might practice too much in hte backyard trying to get good enough. You make things happen. you are not in the flow. Then you actually hurt yourself. People with dualistic ego software, people hwo would curse, face the negative consequences of their dualsitic ego software.
Let me give you all an example. Let's say somebody has no FaceBook likes on his FaceBook page. He then feels like he is a loser/ inferior/ superior inferior ego software. As a result, he starts to sabotage himself. He starts to write crazy stuff on his FaceBook page. Now he thinks "people won't think I'm a loser now, they won't think I'm inferior, they will think I don't have any likes on my FaceBook page because I write crazy stuff on it". The guy has "superior inferior ego software". He wants to be superior. In his attempt to be superior, he makes himself more inferior, and now people definitely will NEVER like his FaceBook page. But he is afraid to take the "crazy stuff" down, because he just met a girl, and he does not want the girl to see that his FaceBook page has no likes "FOR NO REASON". So he leaves the crazy stuff up, so when she sees his FaceBook page, she will not think "well at least nobody likes his page not because he is a loser/ inferior, but because he has crazy stuff on it". But then she doesn't likethe page and she leaves the guy and actually thinks he's a loser/ inferior. The guy is not "crazy". He is not "good or bad". He is just a slave to his "superior inferior ego software" and does not have the insight to recognize it. As a result, his superio infeiro ego software causes him great suffering, until he develops the insight to recognize it. Then he can "take down the crazy stuff" and recognize, "it was not helping him" and he can not worry if nobody likes his page, and realize writing crazy stuff on it won't help him to be superior but will really just make things worst.
I sincerely think that most "crazy people" are not crazy, but they just have software issues. For instance, they might be poor and homeless because their superior inferior duasltici ego software got them in trouble, and they don't want people to see them as "inferior". So they act crazy so people won't think "that person is inferior" but they will think "he's crazy-he has a disease". Now the person can get attention for his "disease", and feel superior- he gets sympathy, and he has an "excuse for why he is not successful". It's not a disease, its a software issue. But people can upgrade their software- especially if they become aware of it.
People with borderline personality disorder despearately want to belong/ insider outsider dualistic ego software. They want to belong so bad, and they know it will hurt to not belong so much, that they intentionally sabotage themselves and make people not want to associate with them, so they do not have to deal with the pain of "being rejected". They intentionally make themselves so unlikable that they will get rejected, so they do not have to feel bad for "actually being rejected". Its an extreme paradox, but its what happens. They feel better being rejected because they "are wearing all Black and have slit wrists and have a tattoo that says 'I hate everybody'" then having to face the pain of real rejection. So they intentionally get themselves rejected so they don't have to actually be rejected. They intentionally push people away from them so they won't be rejected. It's very ironic. But they clearly have a software issue. They just really want to be an insider/ belong insider outsider duasltiic ego software.
Its like, some people before a big test in school will "drink the whole night at a party". They could have studied, but they "went to a party instead.". Then he fails the test and he says "I failed because I don't give a shit, I went to a party the night before". It might be true, some people don't give a shit, but for a lot of people it is a software issue. The person wants to be superior/ superior inferior ego software. He cannot stand the thought of getting a bad grade and his peers seeing him as inferior/superior inferioer software. So he intentionally does not try and lets them know he did not try, so that he can be superior/ sueprior inferior ego software. He could have tried and got a decent grade and actually have been superior, but he wants to be superiro so bad he makes himself inferior to be superior. Dualsitic ego software/ making things happen, often screws things up a lot for people. That same superior inferior ego software will bring trouble to the person throughout his life. He will get in fights with his boss, he will cheat and steal, never reognizing it is his software that is getting him in trouble, unless he is given this insight and can understand it, and understand there is a higher alternative.
My Grandpa was a transpersonal psychologist who got a PHD under Thomas Hora, the founder of metapyschiatry. I watched videos of psychoogists with my Grandpa. For instance, we wathed videos of psychogists treating children. The psychiatrist would often give "strategies and formulas" telling the parent to "do this or do that". My Grandpa told me that all of these "strategies and formulas do not help". My Grandpa said that what helps is to awaken the parents to their software. If a parent has predator prey software she will act accordingly. The child will act in response t the software. It does not matter what the parent does, it will be informed by the software. The key is to help fascilitate in the parent transpersonal mutual particiaption oneness software/ insight.
My Grandpa told me that one time he saw a child running, and the child tripped and fell and skidded his knee. My Grandpa told me that the Mom of the child ran over to him and made a huge deal about his skidded knee. She acted like a tragedy happened and smothered him and kissed it. My Grandpa told me that the Mom was enforcing to the child that he is his physical ego body.
By emotinally overreacting to the child's skid knee, the Mom was helping to enforce the illusion of the ego body self.
Dr. Thomas Hora, my Grandpas teacher communicated with Zen Buddhsit monks. He asked one of the monks his impression of Jesus Christ. The monk drew a picture of Jesus carrying a cross, but Jesus was not crying and all emotional like he is often portrayed, like in the Passion of the Christ, but he was laughing. In gnostic gospels, Jesus laughs when he is on the cross. My Grandpa told me that a lot of Christians are ego oriented/ very focused on the ego self. So they want to imagine that Jesus was grimmacing and cowering and moaning and groaning and making a big deal of the cruciixion. But my Grandpa said that Jesus recognized that the ego body is an illusion. I talked to a Christian, who said taht when JEsus said "Father why have you forsaken me", he was not moaning and groaning. Sentimentalists want to feel "pity" which is a feeling of self absorption and self indulgence, and think that Jesus was suffering when he said this. But my Christian friend said that Jesus was not suffering or "whining to God", but was just quoting King David, when David said this, and when David said "Father why have you forskaen me" the passage in Psalm 22, the passage ends in triump. Jesus was trying to allude to David, and say "this will end in triumph". He did not really "feel forsaken", he was just celebrating in fact by referencing King David.
Interestingly, Rabbis say that when Rabbi Akiva was killed by the Romans, Rabbi Akiva laughed. Akiva did not believe he was the ego body- so when he was killed he laughed.
My Grandpa told me the reason why Muslims wash. My Grandpa said that when you are dirty you call attention to yourself. If you are dirty and itchy, then you call attention to your ego body. You are also focused on your ego body if you are itchy or smelly. This is why Muslims pay so much attention to washing. In the flow you have transcended the ego self to oneness/ pure awareness.
My Grandpa told me the reason why Muslims walk around the stone at mecca. I once heard Black Hebrew Israelites saying the stone was "idol worship". The Black Hebrew Israelites have superior inferior, us v them, ego software. Buddhists similarly walk around chairs or objects while meditating. My Grandpa said it is a form of walking meditation. When you walk meditate you free yourself of thoughts/ transcendece of the ego. Thoguths are often shaped by the ego identity.
I heard a woman say that women who walk aroudn the stone at Mecca and are not fully covered are often groped by men as they walk. That defeats the purpose of the walking meditation. Those men probably have predator prey dualsitic ego software. Somebody could ask "how could a religious person do that, grope a woman during worship". I said before that religiosity can often be self centered/ self absrobed/ the desire to save the self for the afterlife. That same self absorption can be involved in groping a woman to try to "make her dress more properly" so she could "have more babies" and "perpetuate the race" that you prefer. That same software however leads to wars and and a lot of pain and suffering. Women are not necessariy always "innocent victims". I watched a show where women were prostitutes, and these woman claimed to "like taking money from men". They got off on it. They had predator prey software and liked to prey on men.
The religion is not at fault. The people are not at fault. It is the software that influences the actions.
My Grandpa would say for the most part there is no "innocent victims." And even if somebody is killed while in the flow, he has an easy time in the afterlife so he is not suffering. For instance, I listened to a lecture of a "woman who was raped". This woman made a lot of money lecturing to women about her "rape experience". During the whole lecture, she kept on imbedding statements that were designed to make you think she was superior/ superior inferior ego software. So for instance, she would be talking and mention how she was the valedictorian and went to the best school and this and this, and she kept on trying to make it clear how superior she was/ superior inferior ego software. Then she told about how she was raped. She gave this talk in front of hundreds of people/ and a lot of women cried during it, but I did not cry or feel pity but Ijust tried to discern the software.
She said that her boyfriend had dumped her. She wanted to make him jealous at a party.

She said that her boyfriend had dumped her. She wanted to make him jealous at a party. The woman had "superior inferior ego software". She was not in the flow. She wanted to make her boyfriend Jealous. By the way, my Grandpa told me that in the Bible, when it says that "God is jealous, you shall have no God's but God", it is not saying that God is actually jealous. My Grandpa said it is metaphorically saying that the "flow is jealous, there is one flow"- you cannot fake the flow- you cannot pretend to have the flow and not really have it. The Bible says "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.". You cannot fake the flow- there is no two flows- there is one flow. Love is the flow.
But this woman was jeaous of her boyfriend. So she looked for the "bad boy" who would make him jealous. She wanted to hurt her boyfriend- she had predator prey software. The "bad boy" took her to the basement. She said he put her on the couch and then "started jackhammering her". She says she was "raped".
I'm not going to argue with her if she was raped or not, but I will say this, it is clear that she was not an "innocent victim". She herself had dualstic ego software. That was why she tried to make her boyfriend jealous. That software got her in trouble. And what I didn't fail to notice was, as she gave the speech, and she kept on imbedding how superir she was, she never upgraded her software. At least that was what it appeared to me.
I'm not saying the guy was "good or bad"- that is good v bad duasltiic ego software. He clearly had predator prey duasltic ego software. But the woman also had primtiive dualstiic ego software. And the woman even admitted that after he "raped her" she ran after him and grabbed him and told him to "kiss her". She liked him because they shared similar software. This is why it is important to discern software.
There is no formula for the flow. Some Buddhists meditate imagining themselves to be a deity as they meditate. If somebody "acts humble" but for ego motivations, in order to be superior/ superior inferior ego software, to help break him out of his ego, having him practice imagining himself as a deity can be effective.
My Grandpa told me that the Bible does not teach that men are superior to women. That is dualsiti superior infeirore ego softwae. A lot of people think the Bible says "man has domination over nature". But the correct translation is "dominion over nature". Dominion is not dominance. In dominion, you work in harmony with nature.
Anything in the Bible that seems to imply men being superior, you have to read within the historical context. The Middle East was a society filled with superior inferior dualstiic ego software. But the rules and regulations offered by the Bible were concessions to help people to break out of ego software. You can look up books written by "feminists" that explain this clearly.
But one time I asked my Grandpa what this passage means in Ephesians "21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior". I told my Grandpa, "doesn't this say that women are inferior to men". My Grandpa said that it says "submit as to the Lord". My Grandpa said the Lord is not "dominating/ superior inferior ego software". The Lord is love/ the flow. It is not a "dominating submission" but it is a mutual participation in the flow.
Apparently when Paul said that women should not speak in Church, apparently it was addressed to the specific Church where there were women sorcerers or something. I don't know the details and I'm too tired to look it up right now. But take my word for it, people say that it was "contextual" and they were not "formulas Paul gave" but concessions for the particular time and place and instances.
The Bible was actually liberal for its time and place. To be accepted it could not be too drastic. Same thing with Muhammad and the Quran. Apparently, the Muslims wanted women to be not allowed to touch men during their periods. The Muslims said "the Orthdox Jews have that practice. But according to Hadith, Muhammad BPBUH was very liberal, and said that men and women can touch during the period. The Muslim men got angry. To placate them Muhammad had to send one of them gifts. So Muhammad was working in a time and place where there was a lot of superior inferior top dog underdog software. He had to be careful and not rock the boat too much. So Muhammd made concessions. But in Islam, in the Quran, there is nothing that say shtat women have to cover their heads. Liberal Muslim women don't cover their hair. Liberal Muslims also drink alcohol. They say that there is a part in the Quran that says that drinking alcohol is ok. They recognize the dangers of it, but they interpet the Quran as accepting the drinking of alcohol. There are people like the Bahai, who claim to follow the teachings fo the Quran, and they eat pork because they claim the Quran does not explicilty say not to eat pork. So a lot of things are up for debate. A lot of people make assumptions about religions that are not accurate. A lot of people think that the Quran mandates women to cover their hair, and to not eat pork, and this and that, but all of this is up for debate, and as I said, liberal Muslims will even look at the Quran and say "this was addressed to the context of the time". For instance, people who have right v wrong software, good guy v bad guy software want to say that "Islam teaches to kill infidels". But Muhammad said this in a specific context, at a place and at a time when that was necessary. Pre Islamic Arabs wanted to kill the Muslims and prevent Islam from spreading. Islam was actually liberal for them. Muhammad, felt that it was important to save people from their primitive ego softwares, and spread Islam, which was actually liberal for the time and place. Muhammad had to fight in self defense. One could argue that democracy and Islam are not incompatible, that if Muhammad were alive now, he would agree with democracy and say that his reforms would point to a sstem like American democracy and American freedom. Mhammad in preIslamic arabia was not fighting to enforce a repressive conservative regime, but was actually offering liberal reforms that gave people more freedom and more protection from primitive ego software at that time. Muhammad was not trying to repress women, but actually was making reforms that many Arab men thought were way too liberal. So Muhammad made concessions. People say that Muhammad had 19 wives and that he forced them to cover themselves, but Muhammad had so many wives because he had to make political alliances to spread Islam among powerful Arab leaders by marrying their daughters. These were concessions for the time and place.
I knew a Persian guy who was a Muslim and he became a Hindu. He became a sort of non dual Hindu, the type of Hindu that describes God as everything. He was friends with my Indian friend who was also a non dual Hindu. What he "believes" is not really that important. Insight and intuition/ pure awareness/ the flow comes about as the result of the letting go of beliefs and being open to Truth. It is more important to look at his software.
His spirituality was more of a form of self indulgence and self preoccupation. He and my Indian friends liked to do a lot of drugs. I do not think the drugs expanded their awareness but I think the drugs helped lock them even more into the ego self. My friends and I met him at a health spa. He was extremely concerned with the protection and promotion of his ego body. He apparently was at one point very overweight. Somebody who is overweight tends to eat a lot, and eating too much is a form of sense indulgence/ usually related to a software issue.
He lived and worked at the spa. He would get edemas to clean out his colon and was obsessed with "eating the right foods". He was obsessed with the protection and promotion of his ego body. He would also get in arguments/ fights with people and be very loud. He liked to claim his space by being very loud/ top dog underdog dualsitic ego software. If he didn't like somebody, he would say something like "that guy if he was in India would probably be one of the untouchables- the lower castes"/ superior inferior ego software.
So for him spirituality was more of a form of self indulgence. I remember one time I was with him and my Indian friend and the Persian guy said something like "fuck so and so Goddess". I forget what Goddess it was. My Indian friend said something like "haha don't say that dude" because he was supersitious. The Persian guy said "we are all God right, everthing is God, so who cares, what does it matter if I say fuck 'so and so' Goddess". To say "fuck anything" is predator prey, dualistic ego software. Muhammad BPBUH told Muslims to "not make fun of the Gods of other people". When you make fun of somebody or something/ talk down about their Gods, then you have superior inferior dualsitic ego software- that is a form of self confirmation. I remember looking on FaceBook after an Earthquake happened in India, and many Muslim people were writing "that is what you get for worshipping idols", as if they were happy the Indians were killed in the Earthquake. That is predator prey dualsitic ego software. My Grandpa told me that idols can be "training wheels" for a spiritual person. Also, somebody can "not worship idols" but still have primitive dualsitic ego software, and somebody can have an idol in front of him but have transcendent oneness software. That's why Muhammad said not to judge people who worship idols.
My Persian friend fought with people that the "Earth was flat". He believed that the Earth was flat. Whether he believed it or not, doesn't make a difference. He had superior inferior ego software. He wanted to argue the Earth was flat to get attention/ self confirmatory behavior, and to be superior to the people who "did not know his secret knowledge". In the flow/ inspiration, you do not necessarily believe anything. You do not believe the Earth is flat, or hte Earth is a sphere (apparenly its more like an egg, not perfectly spherical). My Grandpa said that matter/ the physical world is an illusion anywya- he says it is all an energy event or consciousenss. In the flow you do not attach yourself to any belief but you are open to discovery. So you would listen to what a flat earther would say, and you would listen to what a person who believes in globes would say, and you would be open to their research and evidence. My Grandpa told me that somebody who claims to be an "atheist", is not in inquiry/ he is not in the flow- because he has attached himself to a belief. If somebdoy proclaims to be an atheist. My Grandpa said it can be beneficial to be skeptical, to question things.
My Grandpa said that "conspiracy theorists" "think outside the box". He said that thinking outside the box can be beneficial. But then my Grandpa said "they create new boxes, and they latch onto those boxes", and my Grandpa said "conspiracy theories don't usually involve any original thought, and conspiracy theorists tend to still have dualsitic ego software. For instance, my Grandpa said, let's say that there is a "secret group of people that run the world and hurt people". I don't think there is. My Grandpa said that he would be open to the possility. If that is true, those people are not "good or bad". They just have "predator prey dualsitic ego software". They can upgrade their software. One of my friends believed that in LA there were secret socieites of witches that sacrifice babies, especially Black babies. He claimed that Black babies are the most powerful because Black people are the most powerful beings on the planet. Well, those witches have predator prey dualtiic ego software- and are obsessed with the protection and promton of their ego selves. The problem is never the people- the problem is the software. And people can upgrade their software.
One time a guy said "the most important thing is to trust your wife". My Grandpa told me "don't trust anybody", just discern peoples software and act accordingly. My Grandpa said that the reason why Jesus said to "forgive people" is that the people are not to blame, it is their software- and people are not their software- they can upgrade their software.
My friend who believed that witches sacrifice Black children was a "freemason". Just because somebody is a freemason does not mean that he has dualsitic ego software. But I asked my Grandpa what he thought of freemasons. My Grandpa told me that "from his experience, freemasons tend to have superior inferior, insider outsider dualistic ego software". I agreed with my Grandpa, because I knew some freemasons, and they did. For instance, I knew freemasons who were gang members, and freemasons who "were racist"- they were not racist- there is no such thing as racist- there is just superior inferior ego software and that is called "racism". Even my Mexican friend with bipolar disorder is trying to become a Freemason- Freemasonry can appeal to people who have superior inferior ego software and want to be special. Freemasonry is not good or bad, Islam is not good or bad, Judaism is not good or bad- there is no good or bad- there is just software- and peole in these groups have different levels of software. Nobody in my family was a freemason. Apparently my great someting Grandpa was a freemason, during the revolutoinary war, but nobody in my family was ever a freemason My Grandpa told me "whenever there is a club of people, whether it be the club of Jews, or the club of Hare Krishna, or the club of freemasons, or the club of Muslims, or the club of communists, or whatever, that club will have insider otusider superior ifnerir dualtici ego software". If you identitfy with any group, you have dualistic ego software. In the flow/ pure awareness/ inspiraiton you are not attached to any ego identity. My Grandpa told me "if the club of Jews, or club of Catholics do their rituals, that can be benficial for them- rituals help you to break out of your ego self/ habits circumstances and other people and can help fascilitate the upgrade of software to the flow- mutual particiaption/ pure awareness"- but he said that it is most beneficial to not be attached to any ego identity. A group can be beneficial if it helps you transcend the group. My Grandpa said that somebod in the flow would never attach himself to any one group, but would inquire and learn from every group. Muhammad said to "seek knowledge from everywhere".
I knew a Philipino girl who loved Trump, and was obsessed with the idea of "shadow governments" and the "deep state" that sacrifices children. She was obsessed with the idea that "so and so celebrity is actually a man- she actually has a penis". Like she would look at Barbara Streissand and say "she is a tranny". This is superior inferior top dog underdog dualsitic ego software. She had a theory that gay people would make hollywood actresses trannys from when they were boys- they would cut off their penises and make them into women to go into hollywood and spread the gay agenda. This girl was "hyper religious" and obsessed with the protectionand promotion of her ego self. She was afraid to go to hell- because she was obsessed with her ego self. Though ironically she would have sex with guys outside of arriage, and she even wanted to have sex with me. Her desire for sex was ego gratification/ protection and promtion of the ego self.
This girl would go to a "messianic Jewish congregation" and she was obsessed with the idea that the "Philipinos were a lost tribe of Israelites", and that she "had Spanish ancestry that might have been Jewish". She was focused on the ego self. She wanted to be special/ superior inferior ego software.
Gossiping is an example of duasltiic ego sofware. Jews teach that gossping is not beneficial. Muslims teach that, and so do Christians. When people gossip, it involves dualsitic ego software/ it is self confirmatory. People might gossip so that they can be liked and feel superior.
I asked my Grandpa what he thought about voodoo. Some African groups perform voodoo. Apparently these African groups can "invoke their dead ancestors". My Grandpa told me "there is nothing good or bad, but there is consequences". My Grandpa told me that "trying out voodoo can be benficial". In inquiry/ the flow, you research many things. In the flow you work to expand your awareness/ increase the scope of your understanding. So you may try voodoo to try to understand the science behind it.
But my Grandpa told me that you have to be prepared. My Grandpa said "some people go crazy if they expand their consciousness too quickly". And its important to understand the software behind why you do something. Somebody can "try DMT", in order to be superior. He may want to be enlightened/ be superior/ superiro inferir ego software, and he tries DMT. DMT can show him a vision of the transcendent, but if he is not prepared, he will reincorporate that understanding into his dualstiic ego software. If he is not prepared he may "go crazy", and not be able to handle the experience. There is nothing "good or bad", but there are consequences.
Paul says "you are not saved by works but by Grace". Paul tells people "not to have sex at all", but if they absolutely have to, to only have sex in marriage. Does everybody follow that? No. A lot of people have sex. These rules are not mandatory, but they are guidelines to help people from becoming distracted.
In the same manner, what is the software that drives you to do voodoo? And some people can do it and go crazy (or they are already crazy to begin with). God in the Bible makes rules and regulations, like rules to not invoke ancestors and stuff like that. THese are not hard and fast rules, but they are guidelines and boundaries that help people from becoming distracted and going into places they are not prepared to go. But in inquiry somebody can test the stuff out, but he has to understand there are consequences and they have to take responsibility for the consequences.
My Grandpa told me that the story of the Passover is a story about the flow. My Grandpa told me that it is not about an "interpersonal struggle between Israelites and Egyptians". The passover/ salvation/ is a story about transcendecne of the ego to oneness/ pure awareness.
My Grandpa told me that in dualistic ego software, you are in enslaved. My Grandpa told me a Zen Koen. He told me that, there is a man kneeled down, and his teacher is holding a stick over his head. If the man moves he will be hit with the stick. If he does not move he will be hit with the stick. My Grandpa asks me "what does he do to not be hit with the stick". I asked my Grandpa "what?" My Grandpa told me "there is no stick". When your head is up against the wall, nothing can get you through the wall- and nothing gets you through the wall- there is no wall. In the DaVinci Code movie, the main character always tries to "make things happen" and he always needs control. But he describes the experience he had when he was younger where he found himself in the well and he was kicking and screaming and trying to get out- fighting to get out, and finally he let go- and found himself outside of the well- and he did not know how he got there. When nothing can get you through the wall nothing gets you through the wall. My Grandpa said "you cannot get there from here, but only those who refuse to accept that will discover that there is here". The flow is always there- you are already saved- you try and try to atain the flow- but it is already there.
My Grandpa told me that it was the Israelites primitive software that got them enslaved. My Grandpa told me that the Israelites never did transcend dualistic ego software- even when they left slavery.
My Grandpa told me the story of Sojorner Truth. Sojorner Truth was an "slave". But she said that "one day she just decided to walk away". She recognized that she was not a slave and "just walked away". She did not "fight slavery", or "submit to slavery", or "ignore slavery"- (when yo ignore something it is still in your attention but you ignore it). Instead she just "walked away". Slavery never existed- it was an illusion that people agreed to play the roles in. Sojorner Truth borke free of dualsitic ego software, and thus slavery could not hold her anymore she was in the flow. Sojorner Truth means "seeker of the Truth". The flow is inquiry/ expansion of awareness/ transcendence of the self/ seeking the Truth.
My Grandpa told me an important part of "walking away" is letting go of your stories. Jesus said "he who puts down his plow and looks back is not fit to enter the kingdom". My Grandpa told me the metaphor of the rooster tail and Richard Feynman. Feynman was "focused on inquiry". Feynman did not care about "goals". When Feynman won the Nobel Prize, he did not want to accept the reward, because he said "the reward is in the inquiry and the discovery". If Feynman was goal oriented, he would be concerned with "winning rewards". But Feynman was comitted to inquiry/ expansion of awareness. Feynman was focused on being an agent in the antientropic reordering function of existence.
My Grandpa said that in goal oriented thinking you are constantlly looking back to see "if you accomplished your goals". My Grandpa said that it is like a rooster tail on a boat. If you are riding a boat, there is a rooster tail. If you keep focused on the rooster tail, you will capsize the boat. Looking at the rooster tail is goal oriented thinking. Somebody told me that he writes down all of his goals. But my Grandpa said, that if you have a lot of goals, you are constantly looking back to see if you achieved them. Feynamn did not have goals but he had comitments. He was comited to inquiry- he was comited to having a high quality of presence and aliveness.
When I wrote my raps I did not have any goals in mind during the writing of the rap. I did not have any plan of what I would say next. I just went with the flow. I did not try to "make anything happen". My intution told me "ok put this sound next- put an a sound" I did not know why, but I just did what my intuitin told me. Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita said to free yourself of desires/ goal oriented thinking/ aking things happen. My Grandpa said when you go into a basketball game, you do not say "I am going to score 50 points today." If you say that then you cannot be in the flow. Maybe in the process of the game, it would be most benefiiaal for you to pass more this game. You never know until the moment. But if you have a goal set out, then you will not be open to inspiration and intution. Instead my Grandpa said to have a "high quality presence". If you go into the game with high energy, and focused, and alert, then you can be open to the flow. In the game, if you are focused on goals, you will be looking back and saying "how much did Is core now". I had games when I was younger where I scored 50 points, but I did not keep track, people told me after the games. But in the zone, you are not looking back at the "move you just did" thinking "I gotta try that move out the next play". You are completely in the moment and spontaneous, and allowing your inspiraiton and intution to guide you. If you have goals you constantly look at the rooster tail, looking at the past to see if you accomplished them, rather than being open to intuition and allowing what is perfect to emerge
My Grandpa told me that motivation speakers like CT Fletching are goal oriented. And my Grandpa said that goals are ok. Fletching has his "head against the wall", tryin gto make things happen. And that is good because"only those who refsue to accept that there is here, will discover that there is here".
A lot of times hippies "memorize the idea of having no goals". Hippies will "try not to try". They will "have the goal of having no goals". They are attached to being non attached. A lot of times they have superior inferior ego software, and think they are superior for "being non attached". That is not the flow.
My Grandpa said that the flow is not "making things happen". Hippies tend to try to make things happen by "trying not to make things happen". My Grandpa said that instead of making things happen, it is best to "make things possible". For instance, before the basketball game, you might shoot 100 shots. The week of the game, you might lift weights. You are preparing for the game. Now you are getting prepared to get caught up in the flow during the game. The flow is greater than anything you "can make happen". But you have to prepare for the flow. When I wrote my raps, I was not a hippie and just "said whatever I wanted to say". I had practiced rhyming for thousands and thousands of hours in a tape recorder. I was very prepared. So by the time I wrote my rap, it was effortless.
My Grandpa told me that there are three things that you can do to raise the level of a ship. One of the things is to throw off the cargo/ make it lighter. Jesus said "my yoke is easy, my burden is light". In the flow the yoke is easy and the burden is light. Another thing you can do is increase the speed of the ship. A third thing that you can do is raise the level of the surroundings of the surroundings where you are floating your boat/ increase the dam level when going throuhg locks. Letting off the load is letting go of attachments. Increasing the speed is increasing your level of aliveness. People with a higher level of aliveness can get into the flow easier. Increasing the level of the surrounding water/ making the water higher so the boat goes higher in locks in canals, is increasing the level of the environment. If people are in more enriched environment, with people with higher levels of software engaged in inquiry, they are more likely themselves to break free of dualstiic ego software, and get into the flow.
My Grandpa said that Lebron James is "helping to raise the the level of the water." There is a differetnce between giving poor people money and raising the level of their environment. Lebron James is providing environments for the education of impoverished youth. If you just give people money, and there is not a raising in software/ consciousness, then people do not benefit from the money- they cannot get into the flow. But Lebron James is working to raise the level of the water/ raise the level of the environment.
I once asked my Grandpa why it is that when a Muslim man farts before prayers, he is supposed to wash himself before he begins his prayers again. My Grandpa told me that this is the "raising of the waters". It is important to have a high level environemnt in order so that the flow can be optimal. This is the spiritual aspiration behind people who want to protect the environement from beind destroyed. They want an environemtn where people can have nature retreats and engage in inquiry that is healthy. Not an environement full of farts.
My Grandpa told me that politics tends to be full of right v wrong software. For instance, Trump has ally enemy dualsitic ego software. Whoever does not agree with Trump is his enemy. People who agree with him he sees as his ally. He tends to appeal to religious fundamentalists because religious fundamentalists tend to be very concerned with right v wrong, good guy v bad guy thinking/ the protection and promotion of the ego.
So Trump sees Greta Thurnberg as an enemy- she does not agree with him so she is an enemy. Greta Thurnberg has right v wrong dualsitic ego software. She thinks she is right and she has her beliefs, and people who do not agree with her are wrong. That is appropriate for a girl her age, and it is more beneficial that she is fighting for climate change than watching the Kardahians. But mostly politics it is people fighting over who is right and who is wrong, as opposed to mutual participation/ oneness consciosuenss. If Trump had more mature consciousness he would commend Thurnberg for her research and development at such a young age. Even if Thurnberg has right v wrong software, and is attached to beleifs, she is at least expanding her knowledge. But Trump has more ally enemy software.
My Grandpa told me that if people want to "save the environment to save humanity" that is focus on the ego self. That is self centeredness, which leads to problems in the envirornmetn in the first place. Einstein said "you cannot solve problems with the thinking that creates them." Some people "fight Monsanto". It is true that Monsanto might have predator prey dualsitic ego software and prey on people. But capitalism is a concession to a work in progress. Until people are mature enough and engaging in leveraging of their assets and creation of value, and not self centered and lazy, then communism would not work. So capitalism is the system that works. Ayn Rand was correct that at the time she wrote her books, people were not mature enough for communism to be effective. But there needs to be concessions. So the government steps in if a corporation is "out of control". Regardless, "fighting Monsanto" does not help. Somebody who fights Monsanto has dualsitic right v wrong good guy v bad guy ego software. Monsanto also has dualstiic ego software.
If people want to save the environement to save huanity/ save the ego self, then it is not effective. But if they want to help maintain an environemnt that is suitable for the flow/ growth and development and expansion of consciousenss, then it is beneficial. If they use the helping of the environemtn as a means to increase inquiry/ expanson of awareness, then it is beneficial. But some people fight for the environemnt so they can be right and make other people wrong/ right v wrong dualsitc ego software. The republican party pretty much mainly operates under right v wrong dualstiic ego software. The republcian party tends to be religious fundamentalists, and they are very concerned with protection and promotn of the ego and making themselves right and other people wrong/ right ve wrong dualstiic ego software. "You cannot solve problems with the thinking that creates them".
I once saw a Hare Krishna guy give a talk where he was saying stuff like "the Bible says not to kill, how dare you kill animals"- right v wrong, good guy bad guy dualsitc ego software.  He spoke with attitude/ judgemental. People responded by saying "crazy Hare Krishna guy- thats not what the Bible says"- they had right v wrong dualsitic ego software. They wanted to be right and make him wrong. They all had attitude- none of them were discerning. When you speak with attitude you tend to be judgmental. Instead what would be beneficial is if the guy invites people to expand their awareness and maybe help to culivate a trancendence of dualsitic ego software to oneness/ mutual particaption software. It doesn't help to say who is right or who is wrong, that is dualstiic ego softare. It just helps to bea ble to discern software. Maybe the Hare Krishna guy did feel superior/ superior inferir ego softwae, and he was just trying to be superior. Maybe the people who ate meet did not have respect and gratitude for the animals they ate/oncness cosciousenss but had predator prey dualsitic ego software
I will give another example of the importance of diserning software. After it was discovered that 21 Savage was British, a celbrity woman, I forget who it was, made a joke about "imagining 21 Savage drinking tea in Britain" or something. A lot of people acted outraged and started posting on her twitter how "there is nothing funny about  immigration, and how insensitive she was. She ended up deleting her twitter account and saying she couldn't deal with people on twitter anymore. The people who posted on her twitter had good guy bad guy dualsitic ego software. They are trying to say she's a bad guy. They had right v wrong dualsitic ego software- they are right she is wrong. Was she "good or bad". No, it is hard to know what her software is. Maybe she did have superior inferior ego software and was making fun of 21 savage in an attempt to feel superior. Or she was just making a joke. It really doesn't matter. My point is, it is just important to be able to discern software. The people who were "outraged" at her were just immature/ had right v wrong, good guy v bad guy dualstiic ego software.
I once listened to a video by Nino Brown. Brown wrote something on the video like "she either cooks and cleans for you or you get rid of her". My Grandpa told me that such a statement is "ally enemy dualisitc ego software". My Grandpa told me that ally enemy dualsitic ego software is impersonal and action oriented. With ally enemy  software, you see people as objects, and you use them for your ends. If they do what you want them to do, then they are you allies, but if they do not do what you want them to do, they are your enemies. My Grandpa told me that a woman cooking and cleaning is not bad, if it is done in mutual participation oneness, which is transpersonal software, and not ally enemy impersonal software.
My friend told me that "women don't like nice guys, and they don't like guys who do dishes". My Grandpa told me that this might be true. It depends on the software of the nice guy. Maybe the nice guy says to the woman "I'll do the dishes baby". And he does the dishes. But he does the dishes so that she will like him/ he will be an insider/ insider outsider dualsitic ego software. Or maybe he has an alterior motive- he will do the dishes so that she will sleep with him. He might want her to sleep with him so that he can feel superior/ superior inferior dualsitic ego interpersonal software. Therefore, he is not in the flow/ pure awareness.
My friend told me that "women like bad boys". My Grandpa told me that the women do not necessarily like bad boys, but they do not like "nice guys" who are nice for ego motivations, so that the woman will like them/ they can be insiders/ insider outsider dualstic ego software.
I told my Grandpa that a woman once told me that she likes guys who are patriots. My Grandpa told me that when you are a patriot you are moving outside of yourself to the flow. You are a part of something larger than yourself/ at least it isn't total self preoccupation. Women are attracted to the flow. But patriotism, while it is a step in the right direction, can also be limiting, and itself ought to be transcended towards "mutual participation in global projects". In patriotism you can become absorbed in ally enemy dualsitic ego software/ this nation v this nation.
I asked my Grandpa why women might like bad boys. My Grandpa told me "it appeals to the urge in everybody to break free of boundaries". Non conformists break free of boundaries. My Grandpa said that everybody and everything is an infinite energy event, solid matter is an illusion, there are no boundaries.
But non conformity is not the flow. Conformity is also not the flow. Non conformity becomes a new conformity. The flow is union with the higher harmony. In conformity and non conformity, youare still in the ego self.
I once heard Joe Rogan say that "small women like savage guys guys who fuck the shit out of them". He said he thought it was because in natural selection, women wanted to mate with men who were "savages" because then they would have savage sons and their sons would be more likely to survive. So women want a savage man who will "fuck the shit out of her".
My Grandpa said that Joe Rogan appears to have top dog underdog dualsitic ego software. It is true that there are women with predator prey ego software who like to have the "shit fucked out of them". But that is due to software. Also, the sex might raise the level of aliveness of the person, so he can be more likely to get into the flow.
The Moonies say that the "fruit from the garden of Eden was sex". My Grandpa says taht the fruit was "experience based dualistc calculative consciousenss", which is not the flow. My Grandpa said though that it makes sense that the Moonies would say the fruit of the tree is sex, because sex can be a form of self confirmatory behavior- related to the ego. The Moonies say that the Mother Mary was not really a virgin, but that is a mistranslatin of the bible, but she had se with John the Baptizer's Dad Zechariah, who was a high priest. John the Baptizer was Jesus cousin, and Mary was in the household of Zechariah, staying with her cousin Elizabeth, who was Zecharia's wife. The Moonies say that Zechariah is Jesus true Father, so Jesus and John the Baptizer were brothers, from other Mothers. They say that throughout the Bible, the ounger brother usurps the older, so it make ssense that many thought that John the Baptizer was the messiah, but then Jesus usurped his older brother and became the Messiah.
But the idea that Mary's conception of Jesus was immaculate would come from the thought that Zechariah was in the flow when he had sex with her, and so there was no ego involved. Also Mary was in the flow. So it is possible to have sex with no ego motivation- no dualsici ego software. But that is just a theory.
Regardless, Joe Rogan looks at sex through a genetic Darwinian framework.
Regardless, Joe Rogan looks at sex through a genetic Darwinian framework. He thinks that women want "savage men"/ "strong men", who can "fuck the shit out of them" because then they would have savage sons who also would be more likely to dominate and reproduce.
My Grandpa told me that Rogans theory reflects his software, which is likely top dog underdog/ predator prey, which might be why he likes UFC.
But my Grandpa said that it is true that women tend to be attracted to strong men. My Grandpa said that being strong is a sign of the flow. For instance, in the Ramayana, Ram can mary Sita because he is the only man strong enough to string a bow. This demonstates that Ram is a hgih functioning indiviudal in the flow.
My Grandpa learned under Dr Thomas Hora, the founder of metapsychiatry., but he also studied under Buckminster Fuller, another very famous philosopher and scientist. My Grandpa said that he would attend Fuller's seminars. Buckminster Fuller says that "humanity is an antientropic reordering function in the Universe". Entropy is chaos and discorder. Antientropy is the increasing of complexification and order. Fuller said that humanity counterbalances the antientropic tendencies of the Universe to go towards more disorder. Rabbi Shimon and his son wrote the Zohar when in hding in a Cave during the Roman occupation of Israel. Rabbis argue that if RAbbi Shimon and his son did not write the Zohar and were killed, the Universe would have ended. This might make sense in terms of Fuller's theory, in that Rabbi Shimon and his son, through their creativity and inquiry in producing the Zohar, provided the antientropic tendencey that was necessary to counterbalance the entropy of existence.
Fuller argued that life was the antientropic tendency of existence. That is why life evolves towards higher complexity and now is evolving towards even further complexity in roboitcs and a creation of the noosephere and memosphere through computers. Fuller argued that if was not for this antientorpic tendency, the Universe would dissipate. So it makes sense that women look for "high functioning, phylogenetically and morphogeneticlay accrued mates" because that is a part of the function of life to increase antientropy.
Ultimately women and men want the flow.
My Grandpa told me that the Book the Great Gatsby was an excellent book. In the book Gatsby looks at the "Green light across the bay". My Grandpa said that Gatsby thinks that he wants Daisy, who lives in a house where the green light is, but what Gatsby really wants is the flow.
My Grandpa told me a quote "our reach should exceed our grasp, or what is a heaven for". My Grandpa said that Daisy kept her allure precisely because she was "out of reach". In the flow, you never grasp onto anything- you are not attached to any framework or belief, but you are open to inquiry and insight. Daisy was beyond Gatsby's reach, and that was what he really wanted- he really wanted the flow.
My friend told me that "girls like bad boys, there has been research that girls don't like guys who do the dishes". My Grandpa told me that it is not "dong the dishes" that women don't like, but it is the software of doing the dishes to be liked/ belong/ be an insider- for ego motivaitns. My friend said that "girls like guys who treat them like shit, but nice guys they don't like".
My Grandpa said that was not true. My Grandpa said "girls don't want a special relationship/ nice guy because they want what exceeds their grasp. When you achieve a special relationship, you recognize that it is not enough. That it does not make you happy. My Grandpa said ultimately only inquiry/ the flow/ self expansion makes you happy. But people end up in special relationships, and they find they are not fulfilled.
My Grandpa said that he was a marriage therapist for a long time, and he discovered that many men and women in special relationships find themselves "unfulfilled". They think "well I just have not found the right special relationship". So they break up with their partner and try to seek happiness in a new special relationship. But my Grandpa said that you can't find fulfillment in the new speical relationship either.They might have an affair thinking this will give them happiness. Ultimately ony fulfillment comes through the flow/ inquiry/ expansion fo awareneess,/ research and development/ leveraging of assets. There is something in the pick up artist community called "cat string theory" where they say you want to be like a cat string with women. You want to always be slightly out of reach- push and pull with a woman- where she feels she has never quite grasped you and she feels like she is chasing you. That is an ego strategy, but it fits the idea of the flow, where you never quite have grasped it. Mystery, a pick up artist says you want to be playful with women. When you are playful you are more alive and more  likely to get into the flow. These are all strategies and they are not the flow, but there is a reason these strategies work.
My Grandpa told me something he would do with his clients in marriage therapy. He said that he would give them a baloon. He would have the marriage couple sit in front of him and hold a baloon. He would then speak to them and they would bounce the baloon back and fourth. My Grandpa would tell them "the baloon is your relationship/ your marriage". He would continue to speak to them and they would continue to bounce the baloon backand fourth to each other. My Grandpa would tell them, "its hard to listen to me and pay attention to the baloon at the same time isn't it?" The couple would agree.
My grandpa would tell them to not focus on the relationship/ getting along/ the intepresonal but to focus on inquiry/ self expansion/ expansion of awareness/ listening to him. You cannot focus on the bouncing the baloon at the same tie as you listen to him/ inquiry. The idea is to focus first on inquiry/ self expansion/ the flow/ Vishnu/ Allah/ Tetragrammaton, and the marriage/ relationship automatically falls into place, but to not focus on the relationship. Focus on cultivating higher consciousenss/ oneness consciosuenss/ mutual respect.
My Grandpa said taht when you are dancing, you do not focus on the partner you are dancing with. That is focusing on the relationship/ getting along. When you try to get along you try to produce a "functional fit"/ that is interpersonal. Instead you want to focus on the music/ the transpersonal. If you focus on the music and dance to the music, then the two partners sync up, and the dance is harmonious. Focusing on the music is focusing on inquiry/ expansion of awareness/ self transcendence/ VishnuShiva/ Allah/ Tetragrammaton/ the flow. Jesus says "seek first the Kingdom of heaven/ the flow, and everything else will come unto you". Special relationships are self confirmatory, the flow is self transcendence to oneness. Special relationships are interpersonal. The flow is transpersonal.
I asked my Grandpa if it is true that women like guys who look like them/ their Dads/ are in their own race. My Grandpa said that if a woman has insider outsider belonging software, then she will be more attracted only to guys in her own race because she might identify with that race and thus want to be superior by only dating guys of that race.
I told my Grandpa that there has been research done that shows that women orgasm more when they have sex with a "symmetrical man", and are more likely to conceive when having sex witha  symmetrical man. My Grandpa told me that synergy can reflect the flow. So a woman may be more likely to conceive when she is in the flow. He told me about the story of Sarah, where Sarah only conceives after she has "given up on conceiving". When she was trying to conceive, she was "trying to make things happen.". Making things happen is not the flow. but when she let go, and was no longer trying to make things happen, she conceived.
I will explain to you all the hierarchy of values that my Grandpa taught me. My Grandpa told me that Dr Hora, the founder of metapsychaitry, taught him that t is beneficial for people to upgrade their hierarchy of values.
There is growing up. In growing up there is first predator prey software. Predator prey software is impersonal action oriented, where you destroy and live off of the assets of others. A concrete example would be a Ponzi scheme like with Maddoff, where he preyed off of people. Another example would be telephone scams, or bank robbers/ any form of thievery. Another example would be Alexander the Great. But my Grandpa described that there was a spiritual aspration behind Alexander the Greats conquest in that it brings together a lot of people under one order. The spiritual aspiraiton is oneness. The same was true with the Greeks when they colonized many people, and the Romans. All Empire builders have the spiritual aspiration of bringing together oneness and unity. So for instance, in the slave trade, the Europeans had predator prey software, but the spiritual aspriaiton was to break people out of their tribal parochialism towards oneness. All of this abberant behavior is a distorted expression of a higher aspiration towards oneness. Madoffs higher aspiration was to "reach his highest potential", but his ponzi schemes were a distorted example of that aspiration. Martin Luther King described that the "arc of the Universe is long but it bends towards justice". The Bible states "they may have meant it for evil, but God has used it for good".  Even behind abberations are higher aspirations, and there is a progression and evolution towards the upgrading of software.
Some other examples of predator prey software include, raping a child, and incest. If somebody rapes a child, the spiritual aspiration might be to "regain your innocence". You might rape a child, making the child your pray, but the spiritual aspiration might be that you see innocence in the child, and you want to regain that innocence. Jesus said "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.". Children are constant explorers and constantly asking questions/ engaged in inquiry. They are in the flow. Somebody might have sex with a family member out of predator prey ego software. The spiritual aspiration behind the abberation might be a desire for oneness. In predatorism there is the "desire to appropriate for yourself a virtue that you see in someone else." For instance, a Father might have sex with his daughter because he wants to appropriate her "purity and perfection and innocence". Maybe the person also performs incest due to his superior inferior ego sofware, where he thinks he is superior and thus his family members are superior, so he has sex with them and wants children with them. The Egyptian Pharoahs had incest to "keep the money in the family"/ superior inferior ego software. They though they were Gods/ superior inferior ego software. In the Aztec Empire, the nobility similarly saw themselves as divine and only mated with each other, and they sacrificed thousands of the commoners who they saw as inferior/ predator prey ego  software. But the Aztec nobilities desire to "only mate with each other" had a spiritual aspriaton. They wanted to "maintain the purity of their race". The desire to maintain purity is a misplaced desire for full spectrum awareness/ the flow.
The second level is ally enemy. Ally enemy software is action oriented/ impersonal. Instead of living off of the assets of others, you are concerned that the other will live off of your assets. You want to destroy your enemies. If somebody helps you maintain your assets, he is your ally. An example of this might be, you tell somebody that if he doesn't help you, you will destroy him. The most typical example is nationalism.   A concrete example of ally enemy would be, nationalism, as opposed to globalism. I listened the the Rachel Madow show, and she described how a politician got in trouble for abberant behavior, and he in retaliation, blamed the Jews for his "persecution" and contacted the Saudis that he would help them to fight the Jews. He had ally enemy action oriented software, where if somebody is his enemy, he wants to destroy them. His spiritual aspiration is he wants to thrive, and he is not thriving. He however, misplaes his anger towards a perceived external enemy. Another example could be somebody who is a socialist. A socialist for ego reasons, might want to harm his culture. Like Stalin, he might find anybody who disagrees with him, label them his enemies, and want to destroy them. About all nations operate under the quality of software of ally enemy. The spiritual aspiration can be seen in Ayn Rand.

The spiritual aspiration can be seen in Ayn Rand. There is a desire to reach your highest potential. In order to transcend the self/ attain the flow, sometimes you must put yourself first. That is the spiritual aspiration behind nationalism. A basketball player who only worries about his teammates practicing, and doesn't practice himself, will not be in the flow. He has to make sure he is good first before he can worry about his teammates. Until consciousness is elvated to higher levels of software, globalism is not effective, and nationalism predominates.
The third level of growing up software is top dog underdog. Top dog underdog is impersonal, action oriented software. In action oriented software, the desire is to dominate, and not necessarily to destroy. An example of top dog underdog software can be seen in a lot of athletic competition. This is especially obvious in UFC. That is not predator prey because you are not destroying the person/ killing the person, but you just want to dominate, and the referee is there to stop you from destroying him. For instance, in UFC, if a fighter sees that the other fighter is already hurt, for instance, has a gash in his head, he will not continue to destroy him, but will allow the fight to be called. A motorcyle gang tends to be top dog underdog. Most of the time they show off that they are the top dogs.
The fourth level of growing up software is insider outsider dualsitic ego software. Insider outsider software is the transition stage from action oriented impersonal software, to attitude oriented interpersonal software. In insider outsider software you have an attitude against a group of people, and it leads to an action. A concrete example of insider outsider software is religious fundamentalism. Most fundamentalist religion has an attiutde that they are the insiders and others who do not agree with them are the outsiders, and people who do not agree with them, they exclude and take action against. The spiritual aspiration behind insider outsider software is the desire to know and obey the Truth. Fundamenalism is both behavior oriented and belief oriented. A spiritual aspriaiotn behind fundamentalism would be to not compromise. For instance, in your religious group you might exclude people who you perceive as "fornicators", or believe "behave wrong". The exclusion is based on the ego, and not necessarily inspiration and the flow. In mutual participation/ the flow you would not exclude them, but grant them the right to be where they are. You wouldn't necessarily "hang out with them", but you would respect their right to be as they want to be, and through inspiration you would be able to intuit the best way to be a beneficial presence for them. For instance, when the religious leaders came to Jesus, asking Jesus if the woman should be stoned, Jesus granted them the right to have their insider outsider software. But he also intutively responded in a way that helped to break them out of their egos, by saying "he who is without sin, cast the first stone". He did not say that adultery was ok- or not ok- adultery is often connected with the ego self confirmatory behavior. And he told the woman to "sin no more", but he invited everybody in the siutation a glimpse at a higher dimension of being/ the transpersonal. Jesus says "not everybody who says Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom, but those who do the will of my Father". The will of the Father is not a code of behavior and belief, but it is the freedom to be in the flow. The  spiritual aspriation behind the men wanting to stone the adulterer, is their desire to have a society where people are not engaged in the ego/ self confirmatory behavior. But they themselves were stuck in the ego/ self confirmatory behavior, in that they wanted to be the insider, and make her the outsider. They didn't just want to be superior, they also wanted to be insiders. There are gradations. Superior inferior softare is more attitude oriented, and insider outsider software is both attitude oriented and action oriented. Jesus invited them out of their desire to be an insider, by telling them "the one who is without sin cast the first stone"- he respected their right to be where they were, but he respected them enough to invite them to upgrade their software. He did not make them wrong. A lot of religious people will read Jesus saying this and say "ooh Jesus got them, he showed them"/ top dog underdog. Jesus wrote in the sand so that they wouldn't get invovled in an interpersonal interplay with him. He knelt and wrote i the sand in order to stay in the tranpersoanl domain, and not get in an interpersonal argument with them. Religion is the best example of insider outsider software. Politics is more action oriented/ ally enemy/ top dog underdog software. Politicians get hooked into right and wrong software, but for reasons of domination.
The fifth level of growing up software that my Grandpa taught me that Dr Hora taught, is right wrong software. In right wrong software you upgrade beyond action oriented- impersonal software, to completely attitude oriented, interpersonal software. You don't do anything about it, you just say "you are just wrong, and I'm right", or you are wrong and we are right. An example of right wrong software, is I reently saw a guy make a post on FaceBook where he showed White people with animals that they killed from Africa, and he said "why is it ok for White people to kill animals in Africa, but people hate Michael Vick for dog fights". The person has right v wrong software. He is trying to say that the people who hate Michael Vick are wrong, and he is right. It is clear that people hunting in Africa have predator prey software, and so did Michael Vick. There issue is not "right or wrong". Neither are in harmony with the flow- this is the valid perspective. Dr Hora, my Grandpas teacher, called values "existnetially valid, or existentially invalid". By that he meant it can be validated in existence or can be invalidated in existence- if something is helpful/ beneficial then it is existentiallly valid, if the consequences are harmful it is existentially invalid.
Another example of right v wrong would be people arguing about the climate debate. An example of right v wrong attitude oriented software that I saw on FaceBook was a person posted a photo of Greta Thornberg eating on a train. THe caption said "she is using non disposable plates, riding a train that uses biodisel fuel, and is drinking from bottled water- she is a fraud". The person has right v wrong software. He is judgemental. When he said "she is a fraud" he spoke with a judgemental attitude. You can say the same thing from a "discerning"point of view, and not a judgemental point of view. For instance, you can say "she is using non disposable plaes and riding a train that uses biodiesal fuel, yet she is claiming to fight climate change-  the inconsistency between her belief and bahvior". That can be a valid discernment/ and because it does not involve attitude or action of attack, it is not right v wrong software.
Another example of right v wrong software would be, recently on FaceBook, I saw a girl post an ariticle on Bernie Sanders. The caption of the article is "Sanders defends gay soldiers". She wrote "Bernie Sanders kicking sooo much ass back when seemingly no one agreed with him." That is an experssion of right v wrong dualsitic ego software. That is an expression of thinkign that it is right to be for gays to be in the military, and thinks that people who disagree are wrong. It also may be an expression of superior inferior ego software, where here is a sense of superiority if you believe the same thing. The reason why Dr. Hora would say this is an "exisentially invalid value" is it generates agreement and disagreement/ argument. She could have said the same thing from a discernment point of view. The viewer could say "that was an insightful observation"-"she was discernng something valid". It all depens on what her motivation was when writing the post. Is she coming from an ego motivation to be superior and make something happen? Is she trying to be right". Or is she just being discerning? It kind of depends on how somebody desires to interpet it, you cannot be sure of the motivations.
Another example of right wrong software could be, the same girl made a post where she captioned Reuters Top News saying "Rise in US suicide highlights need for new derpession drugs". She captioned a middle eastern man naed Yusuf writing in response "we're depressed because we're overworked, underpaid, can't afford a doctor, can't afford a family, while people at the top take most of the value of the labor for themselves. We don't need better drugs, we need a better economy".  This could be a discernng post, if somebody wants to read it that way. We cannot know her motivations. But it could also be an expresion of "right v wrong software". We cannot know the writers software, but we can take responsibility for discerning the valid aspects of what she is saying.
Somebody responded to the post by saying "And we now have it". That was an expression of right v wrong ego software, where he is saying that "capitalism is right, and socialism is wrong, and the current system under capitalism does afford all f the things the man claims he wants". The post could have been an expression fo right ve wrong software, if the intention was to say "socialism is right, and capitalims is wrong". That would be judgemental. Socialism can be "predator prey" software if the people in the system are not "grown up" to mutual paticipation and are in "predator prey software" where they want to sit around and do nothing and "steal" from those who are working/ be leaches on society- or destroy the society and the people in the society who they view as their prey. If Yusuf identifies as a socialist and wants to "destroy" enemies who do not agree with him, then the post is an expression of "ally enemy software". It is very difficult to tell the motivation of people/ discern their software from one post. You would have to speak with them further. Or Yusuf's post might might be an expression of "mutual participation software" and the post might really be an expression of a true authentic awareness of oneness with all people, and a desire to want everybody to thrive and have the highest potential for the flow.
Another example of right v wrong software would be a post that was made on FaceBook after Harambe the gorilla was killed, and after the boy was eaten by the crocodile. An Asian person made a post saying "the reason why people are angry about Harambe being killed is because Harambe was with a Black boy, but nobody was angry about the crocodile being killed because the crocodile ate a White boy. This is an example of racism". THe post got hundreds of shares and likes. But it also garnered a lot of controversy. People said "no you are wrong, the reason why people are not upset about the crocodile is not racism but because he ate the boy, and also because crocodiles are repitles and a lot different from Gorillas that are more human like". They said "you are race baiting". Regardless, the post was an expression of right v wrong dualsitic ego softare. The boy was trying to say that he was right "racism is the problem"- people are racists, and people who do not agree with me are wrong. The people who responded wanted to say "you are wrong, we are right". Nothing really was accomplished, there was nothing helpful in the exchange. It was just interperosnal soap opera drama in which people were accusing each other of being right or wrong. When the boy wrote that, I thought that he might actually be "racist against Blacks, and is pretending to be fighting for Blacks but really trying to make Whites angry". But even if that is the case, that would be an expression of superior inferior edualtici ego software, he just associates with Whites. The motivations don't matter. What matters is, it is right v wrong dualistic ego software, and right v wrong duaslstic ego software doesn't do much benefit, other than invite interpersonal right v wrong soap opera drama virtual reality.
Another example would be, when I was in Kauai, there was a guy holding a sign that had Monsanto circled and a line crossing through it. He was saying that "Monsanto was wrong". It is possible that he was just being discerning, and pointing out that it is true that Monsanto might have predator prey software. But, it is also possible that he had "right v wrong" dualsitic software, and wanted to make himself right, and make others who disagreed with him wrong. People in response would say "no you are wrong, Monsanto is good and provides food for millions of people- what are you a socialist"? This is another example of right v wrong dualsitic eog software. There is a spiritual aspiration behind being against Monsanto. That spiritual aspiration is that "man cannot live off of bread alone". My Grandpa described that at some point, in the evolutio of consciousenss, it is possible that people can become breatharians, and not live off of food period. Food is impounded energy, and there have been cases of Saints, such as Saints in India, who lived off of sunlight like a plant. These saints have developed the capacity to maintain their body temperatures to where they do not need to eat food. Somehow they have the capacity to live off of pure sunlight.
Another example of right v wrong software is, there was another FaceBook post talking about the "liberal school system forcing kids to take vaccines, when the vaccines are harming the kids". This is an example of right v wrong, good guy bad guy software. He is trying to say that liberals are bad and conservatives are good.  He is saying that he is right, and people who disagree are wrong. Whenever you are against something, and judge then you garner opposition, and actually strengthen the side you oppose. Instead it is beneficial to help raise peoples consciousenss to where they can develop insight on their own and make discerning decisions. The spiritual aspriaton behind being agaisnt vaccines, is if people are in the flow, then they are protected from diseases. There is a story of Yogananda walking throught the jungle and not being bitten by any mosquitos or insects. He had raised his consciosuenss to such a level that he was not harmed.
An example of superior inferior equal software is, there was a post on FaceBook where a guy said "these are the people who are angry at Michael Vick", and it showed a White woman with a dog licking her open mouth. Somebody posted below, yeah White people are in love with dogs, or something like that. This is right v wrong  software. The the post is designed to try to insinutate that people who agree are not mad at Michael Vick are right and people who are not are wrong. The component of the post that tries to insinuate that Blacks are superior and Whites are bestial, is superior inferior ego software.
Good v bad software/ right v wrong software is followed by superior inferior equal dualistic software. Superior inferior equal software is attitudinal interpersonal software. It is not action oriented like predator prey, aly enemy, top dog underdog, or insider outsider, but is completely attitude oriented. Attitude oriented means you do not need to take action to support the point of view. In ally enemy you soliciit allies and argue and try to come up with a way to oppose enemies. In predator prey you destroy your enemies- it is physical and verbal abuse. In superior inferior equal dualsitic ego software does not require any action, but it is sufficient to just cop an attitude.
The next stage in growing up software is superior inferior equal software. This is an attempt to go beyond seeing people as "superior or inferior" and it adds a third category, where there are those that you can judge as equal. But superior v inferior v equal software is still separation thinking. It is still a form of judging, and dualistic. It implies that there is a self, and there are others, and the self and the others can either be superior, inferior, or equal. It is still focusing on the self and the judgement of the self, as opposed to transcending the self and losing the focus of attention on the self. When you are in the flow you lose attention of the self. People can get in the flow by engaging in projects larger than themselves. An example of superior inferior equal software
An example of superior inferior equl software is racism. A sign that says "no blacks allowed" is insider outsider software, because it involves action and is not just attitude oriented. A sign that says "no racists allowed" involes action, so it is insider outsider software. But somebody saying, "Black people commit more crimes" could be said with an attitude of superior inferior. It could be said in a discerning manner, where the person is not trying to judge, but is just trying to look at the situtaiton. But if it is said in a manner of judgement and attitude, then it is superior inferiore ego sfotware.  If somebody says "Blacks and Whites and Asians, and all races are equal" that person has superior inferior equal software. He still is focused on the ego self, but he is saying that all peeople are equal, and he is implying if you don't see people as equal you are inferior, but if you see people as equal you are superior.
An example of superior inferior ego software, was there was a FaceBook post with a Muslim teacher. THe Muslim  was yelling that "behavior is important, yes not comitting adutlery is important- but it is not that importnat. THe only thing that really matters is if you belive in Allah". This is superior inferior equal software, where he is saying that if you do not believe in Allah you are inferior, if you believe in Allah you are superior, and the people who believe in Allah are equal. There is a spiritual aspiraiton behind the statement of belieing in Allah is the most important thing. If he subocnsciosly is aware that Allah is the flow, then it is true, trying to perform good behavior for ego motivations is not that beneficial, but the flow is.
Above the growing up stage of superior inferior equal software is cooperation. Cooperation is an interim stage in preparation for mutual participants in projects larger than the self. Cooperation is separate egos, choosing to cooperate in mutually agreed upon projects. These projects don't necessarily have to be bigger than the self. For instance, a basketball team can be an example of coopeeration. The people are still in their egos/ focused on their selves, but they are trying to compromise with others in order to get along and achieve a mutually desired goal. In the flow/ mutual particiaption in projects larger than the self, there is no goal.
In cooperation, there is no judging, whereas in superior inferior and equal software there is the focus on judging the individuals as superior inferior or equal. In cooperatin there is focus on the project/goal. In cooperation, there are egos deciding to work with one another to achieve a goal. But the people have not transcended the self yet to the higher domain of the flow.
An example of cooperation is the movement from nationalism to globalization. Borrack Obama worked toward cooperation, and cooperation motivated the formation of the United Nations. That is not yet mutual participation, but is cooperation, because it is still separate egos trying to get along in pursuit of a goal.
The next stage after cooperation in growing up, is mutual participation. Cooperation is still ego oriented, but you are subjugating your own ego in order to accomplish the desire to achieve a mutually agreed upon goal or objective. In mutual participation, you are not putting your energy into subjugating your own ego desires, but you are putting all of your attention into the objective. In cooperation you are submitting the own individual ego for the coprorate ego- you are trying to get along- it is egos trying to get along with other egos. In mutual participation the focus is taken off of the individual, or corporate ego, and is focused on the desired goal or objective, which is larger than the self. This is the beginning of the process of ego dissolution to the flow. The most obvious example is a basketball team where everyone is interested in making everyone better. This is differetn from cooperation because it is not focused on the ego but on realizing the individual and the groups highest potential.This is the desire to excel as opposed to achieve a goal. This is realizing the ultimate potential of every player. When that occurs, synergy emerges, which is the realiztion of the ltimat poetnetial of the team. My Grandpa says that inspiraiton is realizing the potential of the synergy emerging from teh ccreative interplay of its separate parts.
Mutual participation is focused on excelling as opposed to achieving goals. Goals are more ego oriented. My grandpa told me about a track athlete who was only motivated by money and fame. This is goal/ego orieted. His Coach told the athlete in order to go to the next level, he has to break free of the ego, which can get in his way and hurt him, and transcend to a desire for excellence/ realizing his highest potential. For instance, Mike Tyson wanted to achieve goals, and was ego motivated, and this limited him from achieving his highest potential- his ego got in the way. For instance, I think that Tyson bit Hollyfields ear, because he no longer had his Coach, and he did not want to be inferior by losing, and he knew he was not as effective of a fighter, so in his fear of being inferior, he bit Hollyfields ear, sabotaging himself, so he did not have to face his fear of being defeated and being seen as inferior. Ironically in his attempt to not be seen as inferior, he made himself inferior. He talked a lot about "fornicating with many women" and other ego motivations, signalling an obsession with the ego self. He wants to be superior/ superir inferior ego software, and thinks that the more he fornicates the more superior he is. That obsession got in the way of his progress. John Wooden described that he was "not concerned with winning"/ superior inferior ego software, but he was concerned with "excellence", and "quality of participation" and "reaching our highest potential"/ attaining the flow. Prahlad in the Vishnu Parana is a devotee of Vishnu and "sees everything as Vishnu". Therefore, even when his brother Ahlad tries to kill Prahlad to take his throne, Prahlad is not angry at his brother but recognizes it was due to "primtiive ego software", and Prahlad prays for his brother to come back to life. Prahlad is not trying to take the throne, but in the end he achieves the throne/ reaches the highest potential- he was not motivated by superior inferior ego software/ goals but by the expansion of his awareness/ excellence/ Vishnu/ Allah/ Tetragrammaton. Prahlad has a genuine awareness of the oneness  of all things- a true self transcendence- not an ego motivated "trying to make yourself inferior becaue you think being inferior makes you superior/ self righteousness". For instance, if the basketball team is all about superior inferior/ winning ego motivation, then players on the team might get jealous of each other- they want to win/ be the mvp, the team does not work well together- there are too many egos- they don't pass- there is conflict. They are not in the flow. But if the team focuses on quality of partiicaption/ excellence, they do better- there is more synergy. The Muslim teacher wants to be superior/ thinks believing in Allah makes him superior. His students are in such an environment. The students start competing as to "who believes the most"- there is conflict among them- one of the students says a "racist" thing about another, they are so focused on the ego self. They compete over who is the most righteous. Chaos will ensue- because they have superior inferior ego software and are not really in the flow/ oneness pure awareness. Donald Trump tends to display "superior inferiore ego software"/ judgemental "crooked Hillary". This fascilitates an environment where that software predominates. Even his followers will fight and argue- there will be chaos, because everybody's trying to be superior/ superior inferior ego software. I heard that among "Trump supporters" there is conflict and drama over "who is the most racist", some of the supporters say "quit being pussys and get out the closet and admit you are racist"/ superior inferior ego software. It is not that Trump supporters are racist- there is no such thing as racist. There is just dualsitic ego software, and its expressions. Ayn Rand is correct, being inferior to be superior because you think being inferior is superior is still the ego. Now you have people trying to be the most inferior so they can be the most superior because they think being inferior is superior- they have not transcended interpersonal consciousness. But there is also a difference between trying to be superior, and trying to reach your highest potential/ excellence/ generate true value/ synergy/ the flow/ true oneness. Superior inferior ego software can help somebod to reach a high level, but it is also limiting in reaching ones highest potential, and would have to be transcended to the flow/ transcendence of the slef/ dissolution of the self. When I was considered the best player in the nation by many people, I was not even aware of what I was doing/ myself- I was in the flow. As my Grandpa said "the ego is magnificent in its accomplishments, but limited in its reach".
The next level in growing up software is the flow. Mutual participation occurs in two forms. It is based on cooperation, which is getting along with one another to achieve a goal. The first form of mutual participation, is there is still a sense of separate individuals, a sense of calculative ego thinking, but the focus is no longer on each other. In cooperating with others, the focus is on the project. This is a mixture of mutual participation and cooperation- not yet completely the flow.
In the next level of mutual participation, there is the participation in the pursuit of excellence, which is the flow. This is not focused on achieving a goal, but rather on excelling in the chosen pursuit. The object is the quality of participation and not the goal, like winning. Bill Russel, when he played, there were games in which he lost his focus on his concern with competing and winning, but became aware of the excellence manifesting in all the players in both teams. He would want the other team to play well, so that there would be more synergy so that his team would be accelerated to play well, and be caught up in the flow. He wanted to see synergy and excellence, and beauty/ the flow moreso than just winning. Instead of mutual participants, he had an awareness of oneness with all participants, including the opposite team. Bill Russel was not always like this, sometimes he would get caught up in competitiveness. The ego is magnificent in its accomplishments, but limited in its reach. Competitiveness can bring you to a high level, but it can be limiting in that there is a focus on the self, and the flow occurs when one loses himself. If you are just competitive, then you will also be compettive within your team, and can lead to conflict with your own teammates, wanting maybe to score yourself, when it would be optimal to pass, or even pass in order to look good, when it would be optimal to score.
Bill Russel was asked if "Wilt Chamberalin was his rival" and he said "no he was not my rival, we were both competitors". His goal was not to be superior, but his goal was to compete at the highest possible level.
I have seen an instance of person who thinks that being superior is inferior. This person will try to make his hair look unkempt, so that he appears to be impoverished because he thinks that being impoverished is superior to being rich. He thinks that he is superior when giving the appearance of being inferior. So for him it is a competition to be the most inferior. He is still focused on the ego self, and this focus leads to a lot of conflict. For example, he gets in altercations with people a lot. I was at the beach with him and somebody told him to move, because he was standing in his sunlight. My friend got extremely angry, and yelled at him and called him a howlie. This is top dog underdog software. My frined is very focused on the ego self, in that he argues that the color blue is the color of cooperation, and the color red is the color of dominance and capitalism. So he has insider outsider software, where if  anybody wears red, he will not associate with them. He has not transcended the ego self, but his awareness if very restricted on his self, and this leads to conflict. So ironically he thinks that cooperation is superior, but he fights with people who don't agree with him that cooperation is superior, which is not very cooperative. My friend identifies as German, and because he does not understand software, he wants to blame World War II on bankers, a kabal, or extraterrestrials, or something like this. He sometimes blames the "Italian Jewish Kabal". Sometimes he thinks David Icke is right. The reason why it is not helpful to blame people, is it is not people that is to blame, but it is software that causes problems. For example, its not helpful to blame people for being a "racist", or to become animate in opposition of racism, because neither a racist, or "racism" are to blame. When the software is superior inferior, insider outsider, or good guy or bad guy, you look for someone to play a role in that/ to blame to justify your software/ top dog underdog/ superior inferior software is always looking for someone to play a role in that dualsitic thinking. He becomes confused, and he argues that cooperation is the best, but he argues this from a self centered framework where he is saying this just because he thinks it makes him look superior to say this. So he will say that cooperation is the best, but then ironically he will act with antagnosim towards Mexicans. For instance, I was at a restaurant with him, and he would not shake a Mexican guys hand, and he would say things that were antagonistic towards Mexicans. So he is just very confused, and the confusion will only deepen and deepen until he upgrades his software. I have seen it where someboy can be a Marxist at one point, then a Captialist at the other- they really did not change- they have the same software, but now they are just looking for a new bad guy and a new way tha they think is best to protect and promote their ego selves. Even if there are kabals, which I don't think there are, they are not to blame, but software is the problem- its just a group expression of the same insider outsider, superior inferior software. He tries to wear "the right colors" to belong/ be superior. Ironiclaly in his intense desire to belong he does not belong. He would belong more if he let go of his obsession with his ego self to the flow. He would belong more if he wasn't so obsessed with belonging. He wants to believe the Germans "weren't to blame for Word War II". He is right, nobody was to blame, software was to blame. Nazis had superior inferior ego software/ predator prey software. So did Stalin. So did many people. The problem is not "people", but it is software. People who say "punch a nazi" have the same software as Nazis/ that is ally enemy predator prey ego software.But people canupgrade their software to transcendence of the ego self/the flow.
I knew a J Witness "Black" man who "blamed the Europeans for the civil war between the Hutu and the Tutsi" in Rwanda/ the Rwandan genocide. This is an experssion of good guy v bad guy ego software, where he is tring to say Whites are the bad guys and the Blacks are the good guys. Somebody with the same software might want to argue the opposite. Or argue the same. Somebody with right v wrong software might say "yeah you are right, the Whites are the bad guys", or "no you are wrong" the Blacks were the bad guys- good guy bad guy right wrong dualistic ego software. Dualsitic ego software does not help, it just leads to interpersonal argument that doesn't lead much of anywhere. But it might be most accurate to say that nobody is to blame. Software is the problem. It might be true that the Europeans had predator prey software and tried to "encourage the Africans to kill each other". But to blame Europeans would be to take responsibility away from the true problem/ the software. The Tutu and the Hutsi also had predator prey ego software, and in order to kill each other, they had to have that software. Their separation was an expression of insider outsider ego software. They had never upgraded their software. I want to also make it clear that people can always fall back into primitive software, but you do not have to. It is interesting to note though, however, that the Hutu were agriculturalists, and they killed the herder Tutsi, kind of like the Cain and Abel story where the agriculturalist Cain kills the herder Abel.
There was a Philipiono girl who I saw on FaceBook who expressed ego oriented software. She posted a post post on FaceBook of George Stinny, the youngest boy to have been given the death penalty. The boy was Black and 14 years old. The post said "never forget", and she said something along the lines of "how could White people be so racist". This is an expression of right v wrong ego sofware. Somebody responded to the post saying "George Stinney murdered two girls, who deserved the death penalty". He also had right ve wrong software. The problem is not solved by right v wrong software. it is only beneficial to look at the software that the particiants express. If Stinney murdered the girls, he had predator prey software. Maybe growing up in poverty and with lack of education, this software was nurtured. If it is true that he comitted the murders. If it is true that the jury who sentenced him, sentenced him because they did not like "Black people", then they have ally enemy duasltiic ego software. She wants attention/ self confirmatory behavior. Her focus is restricted on the ego self and its protectionand promotion.
If George Stinney was a bully and killed the girls, then you have to protect the bully from bullying, and the people being bullied from being bullied. In that case, the best way to protect from both, is to put the bully in prison, and unfortunately society is still under the impression that the way to protect the bullying from bullying is to kill him.
The Philipino girl who posted the post, was trying to stir up emotions, as an expression of right v wrong software. She would often make posts, describing herself as Catholic, and describing her dislike for Jews. She would also ironically make posts that were very sexual, describing her desire for penises, and having sex. People would respond to her posts saying "are you ok, have you been taking your medicine". She had predator prey software, or ally enemy software wanting to destory people who she didn't like. She was obsessed with the ego self and the promotion and protection of the ego self. Her religiosity was an aspect of that, but also the hyper sexual behavior was as well, in that sex is a form of self confirmatory behavior, as religiosity can be.
This girl apparently was not working. She would go to Church, and she had Church members respond to her post, but she did not work. Sometimes a beneficial way to break somebody out of their ego is to have them work, where they can get involved in a project larger than themselves, and this can help take their attention and focus off of their ego selves.
Everything I say could be wrong. This is not an attempt to be right and prove others wrong/ right v wrong software, but it is an attempt to point out an issue that is importnat for all of us, which is the need to upgrade software. this could be seen by a reader to be right and make others who disagree with me wrong. But i acknowledge that I coud be full of shit.
The upgrading of software in growing up is the upgrading of application software.
My Grandpa also taught me about the "upgrading of Operating system Software". My Grandpa borrowed this idea from Dr. Hora. This is the upgrading of the operatiing system software/ the fundamental assumption on which people operate their lives.
The levels of operation software are magical, superstition, myth, ritual, intellect, intuition, and insight.
The first level of upgrading operation system software is magic and superstition. In magical and supersititon software, the person is directed by instinct and impulse. In magical software, there is a belief that the world is operated by magicians that live in the clouds, or sky, or trees, or rocks, or etcetera. This is what has been called God, or the gods. On that level, the assumption is that, people are the victims and beneficiaries of this "magician". It is a form of dualsitic consciousness, where you see separation between yourself and gods. In the first level you are a helpless victim or suprised beneficiary of this power.
The next level after magical software is supersititon softwar.e In superistion you think that things that you say or do can influence the magician to your detrment or benefit. In magical software, there is a belief in a magician, but you are a powerless victim or beneficiary to its whims. But in superstition software, you can influence the magician. This is an upgrade in software, because you are wanting to do something to take responsibiity for your destiny in life. Taking responsiblity is a step above being helpless/ a helpless pon. An example of superstition software is much of fundamental religion. It is organized around the assumption that if you think or believe in certain ways you influence the Gods do do things for your benefit or detrmiment. If you think that if you "smoke pot" you will go to hell, that is a superstition, because you think there is a God who will judge you and send you to hell due to your behavior- "we don't smoke, we don't drink, we don't chew and we don't screw"- that will inflluence God to send you to heaven, or conversely. If you do, it will influence God to send you to hell. This is focused on the ego body self/ separation consciousness, seeing God as separte from you.
Operation software is an attempt to see how the world operates. In the first level it operates through a divine magian, the second level say sit operates through a magician. Particular superstitions might be correct. But they are not scientifically evidence based. For instance Duncan Trussell said that it is a form of Black magic to say "things have been going good for me, now something right now has to go bad". That might be said through superstition, if you look at it through the prism of a magician God effecting it. However, it could be scientifially based, if through quantum mechanics, somehow, it can be determined that thoughts effect reality.
The third level of operation software, according to my Grandpa, designed to tell people how reality works, is mythical software. Mythical software is the dawning awareness of the way in which reality does in fact operate, but because it is so difficult to understand, it cannot be explained, but it has to be illustrated in poetic form, or story form. Myth is Truth illustrated in story form/ metaphorically. An example of this would be the story of the wall of Jericho, where the Israelites continually walk around the wall, seven times, and finallly the wall collapses and they take the city. My Grandpa told me this is a metaphor for the flow. Walking around the wall is being up against the wall/ preparation/ research and development/ an attempt to get through the wall. Only those who refuse to accept the fact that there is nothing that can get you through wall will ultimatelly discover that there is no wall/ nothing will get you through the wall/ no strategies, no formulas, no perscriptions- the flow is always there- there was no wall. The walking around the wall is doing everything humanly possible to get through the wall, refusing to accept the fact that you cannot get through the wall. The wall falls not by the peoples effort, but by a miracle of God. This is metaphorical of the idea that you cannot save yourself/ the flow comes through grace- the ego cannot transcend the ego, because the ego was never real- the wall was never real- there was only the flow. The ego is a wall that we created around ourselves- it is a protective enclosure. It is a creation of our imagination, magnificent in its accomplishments, but limited in its reach.
According to historians, the story of the marching of Jericho cannot be established as a fact. It is true that walls fall throughout history, including the Great Wall of China, but the myth is meant not to portray a historical fact, but its to convey a higher Truth. A legend is based on a historical account, but the purpose of a legend is to convey a higher Truth as well. The story of Abraham is argued by many to be a historical fact, but regardless, the legend that was told was meant to convey higher Truths. For instance, Abraham sacricing his son, is meant to demonstrate the letting go of attachments. As a result of letting go of his attachement/ ego software, he became the Father of multitudes- but first he had to let go of the desire to make it happen- the desire to make it happen and the belief that he could by his own power.
I heard an Orthodox Jew say that according to Sages, if somebody does not believe in the Bible, then he is not really a descendant of Jacob/ Israelite. My Grandpa told me that it is true that the Bible is true. A Jew is metaphorical of the transcendence of the ego to non duality. The Bible has myths and legends that point to the higher dimension of the flow. So the Bible is true. But it points to a Truth beyond rational sensory based experience based thinking and explanation. For instance, Rabbis say that when Moses saw the back of God, they say that Moses did not see a literal back, but he saw the infinite, and described it as a back. So even Orthodox Jews don't take the stories literally.
The next stage in operating software is legend. A legend is a historical event told in a manner to reveal a higher Truth. Historians think that the first books of Genesis, such as the Garden of Eden and the Great flood and the Tower of Babel were myths, but many historians think that the story of Abraham, and David, and Solomon, and Jesus are legends, that these were historical figures. The story of the Tower of Babel could be alluding to the Ziggurats in the Babylonian Empire, that fell. The story of walking around Jericho could be an allusion to an actual historical event, where the wall of Jericho fell. Historians say that it did fall. But there is no evidence that it fell after Israelites walked around it seven times. So this is a myth. Many argue that Solomon, and Araham, and Jesus were historical figures/ their stories were historical facts, but they say that the stories were not told in order to convey history, but were told to point to higher Truths. Some people read history just to understand the facts of what ocurred, but others read history to see what kind of Higher Truth the historical event revealed.
My Grandpa told me that lot of historical facts ocurred in the Bible, but only some were remembered and recorded. They were not recorded so that history could be remembered, but to convey higher Truths. An example of a legend is Jesus crucifixon.  Historians argue that it is a historical fact that Jesus was crucified, but the story of the crucifixion was told not in order to prove a historical fact, but it is told to reveal a higher Truth. According to my Grandpa, the higher Truth that the crucifixion reveals is the importance of dieing to the self to the flow/ intution/ inspiration.
As myth replaces magical thinking, ritual replaces supersitious thinking. Ritual is a Truth, or reality obeyed inadvertently. Both myth and legend are the beginning attempts of the intellect, to come to a deeper understanding, of how the world operates.
An illustration of a ritual pointing is the Jews do not mix wool and linen. Orthodox Jews say that there can be bad health effects from mixing the two together. They may not have been aware of why, but a ritual was made to prevent the mixing of them. Josephus argued that the higher Truth of the ritual of not mixing linen and wool might be to not mix the Egyptians with the Israelites. Egyptans were agricutlural people/ linen is plants, and the Israelites were nomad sheep herders/ wool. I asked my Grandpa what he thought and he said that the practice might be related to transcending dualsitic superior inferior equal ego software. Mixing linen and wool might be "trying to make everybody equal/ get along". When you try to make people equal, you are still focused on the ego self. Mixing linen and wool is trying to create equality/ trying to force people to get along. Believing you are equal is the same consciousness as believing you are superior or inferior, it is still focus on the ego self body. Mixing linen and wool is the trying to create equality instead of transcending superior inferior equal software to the flow/ transcendence of the ego self/ transendence of intepresonal self preoccupation/ making things happen. In the flow you are not focused on the ego self but are connected to the higher harmony. My Grandpa told me that when Cain, the agriculturalist who offered God plants, told God that he was "not his brother's keeper", the keeper of his sheep herder brother, that was true. Peoplea are not their "brother's keepers". Most people read that and think "that is wrong of Cain to say that, he should love his brother and be his keeper". but my Grandpa said Cain was correct, he is not his brother's keeper. Wanting somebody to take care of you/ keep you, where you take from the person without him wanting to give to you, is a form of predator prey ego software, where you are a predator taking from your host/ brother. The story of Cain and Abel is not a "morality story" about how "people should be nice to one another". It is a story about the agricultural revolution, and about the fact that the sheep herders were killed by the agriculturalists. After Cain kills Abel, God gives Cain a mark to protect him. Cain was not a good guy or bad guy, and Abel was not a good guy or bad guy, the story is an allegory of the evolutionary process of human culture where agriculturalism inevitably takes hold in the next stage of evolution. God does not say to Cain "yes you are your brother's keeper", because according to my Grandpa, people are not each others keeprs- that is interpsonal dualstiic ego software. The flow is oneness/ transcendence of duasltiic ego software.
The agriculutral revolution was a very bloody time. Historians say that if people were killed today like they were killed in the agricultural revolution, billions of people would be murdered. They say that modern times are extraordinarily peaceful compared to the times of the agricultural revolution and ancient history. Sometimes people will complain "what is the world coming to all the violence, school shootings, wars". They think "the world is getting worst". Historians say the world is thousands of times more peaceful than it was in history- and more peaceful than it was in any time in history. The book "Ishmael" looks at the Bible through a lense of the conflict between agriculturalits and sheep herders, and says that the story of Cain and abel was an allegory of sheep herders being killed by agriculturalists, which happened historically. The book Ishamel, agrees with the Jewish intellectual Josephus, in that it it recognizes the idea of not mixing wool and linen together as an allegory of not mixing sheep herders and agriculturalsits.
Another ritual would be when the Muslims bow to Allah during prayer, and touch their heads to the ground. Muslims argue that there are positive health effects, when you put your head down, and the blood goes to your brain. The higher Truth that bowing points to, is the importance of humility. Even if the Muslims did not understand that intellectually, by following the ritual, they benfited from that. When you are in the flow, you have transcended the ego self. The irony, is soembody can follow the ritual of bowing to Allah in order to show off and feel superior. Then it is not the flow.
Another example of a ritual is the ritual of Kosher laws. Even before they intellectually understood the dangers of eating certain kinds of food and preparing the food in certain ways, the ritual protected the Israelties from the consequences of not understanding. For instance, pigs have parasites inside of them, and in Ancient Israel, pigs would not be cooked properly to kill the parasites. So this ritual had beneficial effects. I learned from a Rabbi the higher Truth of the ritual of eating kosher. According to him, you are allowed to eat animals that have a cleft hoove and that chew their cud. You are what you eat, so you would want to embibe and animal that has qualities that you want. An animal that has a cleft hoove can climb mountains. You want to be able to elevate your consciousness to high levels, like climbing a mountain- to full spectrum awareness, like the awareness you attain at a mountain top. That is why Shiva and Zeus are on mountain tops- because they represent full spectrum awareness. On a moutnain top you see everything at once, your awareness is not restricted and limited. Also chewing cud reprsents mulling over questions. When you do not chew cud, you are not contemplating. When you chew cud, you have a question, and you continue to chew on it, and you continue to digest it/ living in the question. You want to be somebody who lives in the question, as opposed to somebody who swallows and does not ponder further. This might be the higher Truth that eating kosher represents.
All diets are ritualistic disciplines. There's a ritual in Buddhism, where a person meditates and imagines himself to be a deity in his meditation. Meditation can be a supersition, if it is used to influence a magician/ higher power to help you. But my Grandpa told me that meditation is beneficial in that it can help you break out of habits of thought and behavior, and thus become more inadvertantly alligned with the flow/ pure awareness. I asked my Grandpa why it is that some Buddhsits imagine themselves to be deities when they meditate. My Grandpa told me that this meditative practice might be effective for people who act humble, but their humility is ego driven, and thus such a meditative practice might be assigned by a teacher to a student, if the teacher discerns that it can be helpful in freeing such a student from false humility/ ego. Another thing that particular discipline can do, is it gets the meditator into allignement with the reality that everybody is an expression of God/ divine/ the body of Christ.
According to my Grandpa until you reach intellectual reasoning, you rely on instinct, and or impulse, which derives from magical, supersititious, myth, and legend consciousness.
According to my Grandpa until you reach intellectual reasoning, you rely on instinct, and or impulse, which derives from magical, supersititious, myth, and legend consciousness.
The next stage in development of operating system software is intellectual. Intellectual consciousness is rational interpretations to describe reality. For example, a rational explanation given by historians to the wall of Jericho, is they say that historically the wall did fall, and they argue that it was likely due to serf rebellions within Jericho. This is an attempt to give an intellectually reasoned explanation to the myth. Others argue that the walls fell because of an Earthquake. This is another ratioal explanation. Another intellectually reasoned explanatio for the wall of Jericho, that I have heard, is that the Israelites blew Trumpets before the wall fell, and the trumpets were a sound technology, that is not available to modern people, that had the capacity to destroy walls. This is an example of trying to give an intellectually reasoned explanation for the event. Some argue that the knowledge of the technology was lost, some argue that the technology was given by aliens, some argue the technology was given by time travellers. These are all a result of an attempt at intellectually reasoned explanations.
My Grandpa said that all intellectually reasoned attempts are false/ limited. My Grandpa told me that all all bodies/ rocks/ walls, are non simulataneous partially overlapping flashes of energy- therefore the wall does not really exist as a solid object. But that intellectual explanation of the wall of Jericho, is apparently limiting, because people like the Vedantists say that all reality is consciousness. Neville Goddard argues that everything is consciousness, and the stories of the Bible are metaphors of consciousness. Therefore, there is no solid wall of Jericho. But even these intellectual attempts at understanding the Bible might be limiting. Jung argues that reality is an expression of consciousness taking form, and thus the wall is just a psychoid expression of the cosmic subconscious. These are all intellectually reasoned attempts of understanding.
Another example of intellectually reasoned arguments would be in regard to the story of the Passover. I heard on the discovery channel, historians arguing that the sea might have turned blood red, but it turned blood red as a result of an algal bloom. They argue that all of the plagues can be rationally explained one after another.For instance, the algal bloom might have brought about frogs, and dead frogs might have brought about locusts. This is an intellectually reasoned attempt to describe the Bible. Another rational attempt would be the description of Moses parting the sea. I have heard it argued that the sea was parted by wind, and coincidentally the Israelites were at the right place at the most advantageous time. Others would say that the Israelites were travelling lightly, and the Egyptians were bogged down by a lot of equipment. So the Egyptians drowned when the tide came in, but the Israelites survived. The higher Truth that this reveals is the idea of, if you let go of attachements, you will be more likely to be in the flow. Attachments are strategeis, formulas, and beliefs. When you are in the flow, you are open to inspiration. For instance, when I wrote my raps, I did not have planned out what I would write next. I allowed inspriation to emerge spontaneously. If I was attached to a course of plan, or an ego desire to say what I wanted to say, what was more perfect would not have emerged. But regardless, these are all intellectually reasoned attempts of explanation. A final intellectual explanation I want to say, in regards to the Exodus from egypt, is one that I heard from historian Finkelstein. He argues that archeological evidence indicates that the Israelites never were in Egypt, but were really Cannanite Serfs who rebelled in Cannan, like in Jericho, and established new sociteis in Cannan/Israel. He argues that the Cannanite serfs, after developing the new socities, wanted to create a more grand narrative of their genesis, that did not include the shame of having been Cannanite serfs who killed their masters, and he argues that the stories of the Exodus from Egypt were made up completely. This is another intellectually reasoned explanation.
I will give some intellectually reasoned exlanations for the multiplying of bread by Jesus. Yogananda says that everything is one energy event vibrating in different frequencies, and that a spiritual master can develop the capacity to manipulate energy, and thus Jesus could produce bread with his consciousness. In the same maner, Yogananda says, that Jesus could manipulate the chemicals in water to create wine. This is an intellectually reasoned explanation for the multiplying of bread. I went to a Korean Church, called Providence, that taught that Jesus multiplying of bread was an allegory of Jesus getting everybody to share. When everybody shared, the have nots were no longer have nots, but everybody had enough to eat. This they argue was, the miracle of hte multipliation of bread. They say that Jesus inspired people to share/ a socialist explnation. In the same way, a capitalist, could maybe argue that the bread was multiplied, because JEsus taught them capitlaist principles, and capitlaism would multiply the abundance of bread- not socialism. These are all intellectually reasoned attempts to explain the legend of Jesus multiplying bread. All of these intellectual explanations might be inadequate. Regardless if they are true or not, arguing for them leads to right v wrong dualsitic ego software.
At the most limited lvel people are guided by instinct. Next people are guided by impulse. My Grandpa said, when peope are guided by instinct they are activated by magical and supersititious thinking.
When people are moved into taking action by instinct and impulse, people are living in a world of magic and superstitious thinking. Then as you begin to rely on the intellect, myth and ritual begin to occur. Then people move into intellectual/rational reasoning in the next stage. Then you are induced into action and thought by the pure intellect. Eventually, people discover the limitations of the intellect/ experience based conclusions. Man cannot live by reliance on intellect alone. Jesus said that man cannot live off of bread alone- bread is survival/ the intellect/ ego based strategies. Bread sustains the ego based body. But the transcendence of the ego based body is intution.
The next of upgrading operation system software is intution. One defintion of intution is "coming to know what we didn't know we already knew". Everbody possesses a higher wisdom on which people tend to ignore, or on which people have never been forced to rely upon. My Grandpa said only when people realize the inadequacy of the intellect/ rationality, do they begin to look for something better. "Only then do people begin to wrestle with Surely". My Grandpa said that "wrestling with Surely" means "wrestling with the realization that Surely there is more to life than this/ experience based/ ego intellectual thinking and action". In this domain it is more difficutl to give illustraitons.When people confront the inadequacy of the intellect they can become aware of something more. That is when they can get in touch with the igher wisdom. My described that "everybody is full of shit". Shit is intellectual and reason based conclusions, assumptions and beliefs, all of which are leftovers from earlier realizations, either borrowed from other people, or remembered from your own realizations.  That is why this is "shit"/ people are full of shit- they are full of leftover discoveries that they cling to. These discoveries no longer have the power they had in their inception, but are stale because they are memorized and remembered. In intuition you go beyond the intellect/ expereince based thinking to a deeper wisdom. When I played basketball when I was younger, and was considered by many to be the best player in the nation, I was not using intellectual calculative induced action/ the fruit from the tree of knowlede, but I was using intution/ the flow, or what the Bible calls "wisdom from the Tree of Life". I did not know what I was going to do next, but what I did was perfect, because it was not coming from me, but coming from a higher Source beyond myself. My Grandpa described that in the Garden of Eden, is pure awareness/the flow, but the fruti from the tree of knowledge is experience based, calculative intellectual thinking. The tree of knowledge of "good and evil" is a mistranlation. Good and evil, is more accutrately translated as "that which works, and that which does not work". This is calculative thinking. For instance, if I went into the basketball game, planning out what I would do, based off of what I memorized works and does not work, I could not be in the flow/ intution, and allow what is perfect to emerge- because my ego self would be getting in the way.
There is an old country music song where the singer talks about "standing in my own way". The song is called "Standing in my way". The ego self/ fruit from the tree of knowledge/ intellectual based thinking, stand in the way of intution/ the flow. But I want to mention that intution is not what a lot of people think intution is. Intuition is not "feeling", but it transcends feelings to a higher source. Feelings are ego based/ body based/ intellectual, or impulse induced, but intution is released, not induced. Intutiion is an inner wisdom that is released when you are no longer preoccupied with ego based calculative thinking.
My Granda described that ants are instinct induced action and behavior. Ants in an ant colony do what needs to be done by instinct. Intuiton results in allignment with reality, with the way things work. Instinct can align ants with the flow, but it can't allign humans. Instinct can allign ants with the order they depend on/ reality they depend on, but it cannot allign humans. Humans need intuitive wisdom. It is intutiive based behavior. For instance, Trump does not rely upon advisors and assistants, because he says "I just rely upon my intution". But he did not rely on intution, but he relied on impulse. There is a difference between impulse driven and inution guided. An intution is a higher wisdom that invovles the transcendence of duasltiic ego consciousness.
Animals can be guided by instinct. Humans can be guided by impulse/ which is superstiion, magical thinking, intellect/ mythic, ritualistic, reasoned evidence , or the flow/ intuition.
The next stage in the evolution of consciousness is inspiration. This is even more difficult to illustrate. The best illustration is when Jesus knelt and wrote in the sand, he broke free of all intellectual, ego involvements, and opened himself up to inspired thought and inspired action. All of Jesus healing miracles were inspired responses- not generated by rational intellectual calculative manipulative reason based thinking- but by inspiration. For instance, at the sheepgate pool, he had an inspired response. It was not intellectual, and it wasn't even intutive- it was even beyond intuitive, but it was inspired responses. In the sheepgate story, there is a man at a sheepgate pool, and he does not want to get healed, because he is too ego oriented, focused on his complaints and his "sheepgate stories"/ blaming. His excuses are self indulgent. The man at the sheepgate pool is too encapuslated in the self. Jesus has an inspired reaction to the man. Jesus said to the man "would you like to be healed".The man gave reasons and excuses why he can't be healed. Jesus said in paraphrase "do you want to continue to carrying your colostomy bag of reasons and excuses, or do you want to be healed". Jesus said what needed to be said to bring the mans healing, and that was "pick up your bed and walk"- an inspired response that was perfect and brought about the result of healing. Sometimes somebody can have reasons and excuses for his failures, and he prefers to have those because they make him feel superior/ superior inferior ego software. The person says "I would have been so great or I could be so great- if it were only not for this or that excuse". That same software, might have been what lead to the  injury that is the ecuse in the first place. For instance, the person might have originally hurt himself because he was trying to be superior and did not listen to his intution telling him not to parttake in whatever injured him. Maybe he was showing off in front of girls and hurt his ankle. Maybe his injury is psychosomatic, and he would rather be injured and have an excuse, and thus feel superior/superior inferior ego software, than not be injured, and face the fear of failure and not being seen as superior. Jesus inspired response was "pick up your bed and walk". Jesus did not have a formula. He just was inspired to say what the man needed to hear, what would effect the miracle of his healing/ breaking free of ego software- which healed him. Jesus was asked "how do you do these miracles". Jesus said "I do not do them, God is working and I am working. In paraphrase, he said "I am just going along with the flow- I'm just an agent of the antietnroicp reordering function hat is working eternally". When Jesus says "God/The Father is working through me", he is referring to the flow/ inspiration. His actions are not intellectually motivated, or impulse oriented, but are inspired- he is in touch with a higher wisdom/ harmony that is beyond ego calculations and strategies. Similarly, Socrates described that he was guided by a "Daimon/God". Socrates was guided by inspiration. A lot of people claim to be inspired, but they are really ego motivated and not inspired/ in the flow.
In intution, there is exploration and research, and as a result of all of the creative intellectual research, and the creative interaction of all of the observations made through that research, synergy emerges. It emerges in an intuitive response, which is the realized potential of the synergy that emerges from the creative intellectual interaction. This is another dimensio of intution, when synergy emerges out of and goes beyond. This is the example of Einstein and the apple. Einstein said "sometiems when in search of an answer, you must exhaust all intellectual resources, perhaps while eating an apple, the answer will come and tap you on the shoulder and say here I am". The answer was always there, but the person, lets go of his intellectual strategies, and opens himself up to its revealing itself. Plato says that everybody comes from the World of Forms, and nobody discovers anything new, but they just recall what htey always knew. My Grandpa said that intution is "coming to know what you didn't know you always knew". But to get to the point where the insight/ epiphanie can reveal itself, the intelelct somtimes must be exhausted. My Grandpa said "you cannot get there from here, but only those who refuse to accept that will discover that there is here". Or you "Nothing wiill get you thorugh the wall, and nothing gets you through the wall". Nothing is no thing- Nothing is the flow. The answer is already there. You are there- There is here. It is nothing that gets you through the wall. Einstein lets go, and eats an apple, and the answer emerges. Einsteins, intellectual rigor leads to a synergy/ letting go where the answer is revealed. I would have never been considred one of hte best players in the nation when I was younger, had I not practiced all the time, shooting all the time. The flow/ intuition is a product of synergy from all the practice shots, but at the same time I was not "making it happen" but I was connected to a higher harmony that did it for me.
There is a difference between instinct and inutition. When I was considered the best shooter in the nation by many, I did not intellectually know how I was shooting. I did not have it calculated out how I was shooting. But my shots also were not instinctual. I practiced all of the time and I was taught things. Like my Dad would remind me to shoot sideways. But I did not intellectually lthink about how I was shooting. It was not instinct though because I was not born, knowing how to shooot. For instance, it is the instinct of the bird to fly in its formation. The bird was not taught this at all. I was not born knowing how to shoot a basketball, or dribble, or do the moves that I did. But at the same time, when I did what I did, it was not calculated or intellectually reasoned. I practiced so much that I had a high intuitional capacity. I was alligned with perfection, but that was not intellectually based, but intuitive. I was not thinking when I played, and as a result I did far greater things than I could have done if I was rationally thinking. I was in the flow. This is beyond thinking, and beyond impulse/ instinct. A basketball player playing on instinct will be selfish, and out of control, and impulsive, and will not bring synergy to his team. I won AAU national championships- I passed when was the right time to pass, shot when was the right time to shoot, and did moves that I did not intellectually plan out- I didn't even really know how I was doing them- but it was perfect.
An example of intuition would be, I watched a discovery channel show on a fireman, the fireman knew he had to leave the building. He didn't know how he knew, but he knew. When he walked out of the door the fire flew out of the door. If he had stayed he would have been killed. People wondered if he had some sort of supernatural ESP. Scientists think that he had been in so many fires, fighting fires, that he developed the intuition to know something was up- the air did not feel right, was a little bit colder- something was different. So he left the building. This was not instinct. He was not born knowing to leave the building at that time, most likely. It was the realized potential of the synergy created by all of the practice he had in fighting fires.
Another example of inspiration is the story of Naaman in the Bible. In the story, Naaman has leprosy. He is an Aramean commander. He tries all of the cures and they do not work. One of his aids tells him to talk to Elisha, the Israelite prophet. Naaman goes to Elisha, and Elisha tells him to dip in the Jordan River. Naaman has too much of an ego. He thinks he is very superior/ superior inferior ego software. He thinks that he lives in a superior nation that has a superior river. He tells Elisha that he will not follow his recommended ritual. Elisha goes back to Aram, but then his aid says that if Elisha had asked him to do a spectacular feat, he would have done that, so why does he not do this very humble act of dipping in the Jordan River. Naaman decides to dip in the Jordan River and he is healed.
My Grandpa told me that Elisha's recommendation was an inspiration, not an intellectually reasoned formula or strategy. Rather than judging Naaaman, he discerned that the problem of leprosy was a symptom rather than the problem. By stepping into the Jordan River, Naaman expressed humility, breaking free of ego enslavement, which was the fundamental problem.
Another example of inspiraiton in the Bible, is when Jesus told the Syrophonecian woman that he does "it is not helpful to cast bread to the dogs." This too was not a judgement, but a discernment of the essence of her problem. Jesus did not have an intellectualized formula or experience based stratgey for healing this woman's daughter, but his response was inspired. He discerned that her problem was arrogant top dog domination/ top dog underdog dualistic ego software.
In the story, the Syprophonecian's daughter was "possessed by a demon". However, the fact of the matter was, she was a very rebellious daughter, reacting to the Mothers domineering form of parenting. My Grandpa and I have studied psychologists together who teach parents how to deal with their children. A lot of these psychologists teach the parents strategies for dealing with the children. But my Grandpa told me the most important thing is to help the parent to upgrade her software. For instance, a psychologist can tell a parent to "compliment a child". If the parent does this to influence or manipulate the child it is not beneficial. It is a subtle form of domination/ superior inferior software. For instance, a Mother can tell her child, "you are very gifted"- she might do that because she wants her child to be superior/ superor inferior ego software. This could teach the child that it is important to be superior. It brings the focus of the child on his self/ ego body. My Grandpa said the alternative to complimenting might be celebrating the achievement of good grades or behavior. By complimenting the child, you are encouraging the child to think of himself as superior or inferior/ focus on the ego body. If the child is very concerned with superiority or infeirority/ focus on the self, he is not in the flow. In the flow you lose yourself. In celebrating, you focus on the pursuit of the achievement of excellence/ the highest potential- this is the flow. This takes the focus off of the ego self. For instance, when I played basketball when younger, I was not aware of my ego body self, but I was lost in the game to where I lost myself, and what I did was way better than if I was focused on myself.
When Jesus told the woman that it is not helpful to give bread to the dogs, he invited her to awaken to the realization of her dominating software/ her superior inferior ego software.
My Grandpa told me that when the Syrophonecian woman came to Jesus, she was pushy and demanding. Pushy and demanding is a form of making things happen. The Syrophonecian woman had the same pushy and demanding persona with her daughter, and with everybody she interacted with. As a result, her daughter acted out with pushy and demanding behavior- interpreted as demonic.
My Grandpa told me that pushy and demanding is the same thing as passive and depressed. They are both forms of making things happen/ ego strategies. When you are passive and depressed, you are still in the ego body/ focused on the ego self- assuming a position of inferiority/ superior inferior ego software. When you are pushy and demanding, you assume a position of superiority/ superior inferior ego software. In both cases, you are not in the flow, but are trying to influence/ manipulate others, and make things happen. For instance, when you are passive and depressed, you try to make people feel sorry for you, and rescue you. When you are pushy and demanding, similalry, you try to force people to do what you want them to.
My Grandpa said another form of making things happen, is to be pious and deferential. When the "rich ruler" went to Jesus, he was pious and deferential saying to Jesus "Good teacher". He was trying to make things happen/ kiss Jesus's butt. Jesus recognized the man's ego, and told him to let go of all of his riches, and follow him. This was an inspired response, appropriate for this situation, and not an intellectual formula applicable in all such circumstances.
The Syrophonecian woman was pushy and demanding. Jesus invited her to surrender her dominating pattern of parenting, when he told her that it is not helpful to give bread to the dogs. The evidence of her shift in consciousness is that she said "if the dogs are hungry enough, they will even lick the crumbs from the masters table." This is evidence of her shift from a mode of domineering behavior, to a mode of receptivity and openness, and humility.
My Grandpa said that you can either be passive and depressed, pious and deferential, pushy and demanding, or persistent and determined. The first three stances are making things happen. But persisistent and determined is making things possible. This woman was persisitent and determined, because she was driving the disciples crazy, but she would not stop her attempt to find a solution. Her head was against the wall. Jesus invited her to surrender her pushy and demanding mode of being, and freed her to the flow/ openness/ receptivity/ inquiry. As a result, her daughter was immediately healed.
Another example of an inspired response by Jesus was his response to the Roman Centurion who wanted his servant healed. The Roman Centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant.
Jesus asked "shall I come and heal him". The Roman Commander recognized that it would not be appropriate for him to exercise his commanding domineering mode of being with Jesus. The reason why the servant was sick was a symptom of the real problem being expressed by the domineering command of the Roman officer/ superior inferior ego software. Jesus recognized that by making this shift from domineering to a sense of opennes and humility, that was the healing of the problem of the Roman Centurion, and the symptom that the soldier was manifesting was immediately healed, because the problem was healed. The problem was in the Centurion's software/ superior inferior ego software.
The Centurion probably tried to make things happen. The Centurion, after Jesus inspired response, says "/Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word. For I myself am a man under authority, with soliders under me. i tell this one "Go" and he goes, and that one "Come" and he comes.i say to my servant "do this" and he does it". When the Centurion said this, it was an expression of his shift to a humble stance of openness, and receptivity. When Jesus had the inspired response of "shall I come and heal him" he was asking the Roman commander "are you aware of how consistent you are in bossing people around, and do you want to boss me around also"? My Grandpa told me it was an invitation for the Centurion to look at his dominating mode of being, and see if that same mode of being was being expressed in his request. When he said "Lord I do not deserve to have you come under my roof", this was a shift to humiity/ receptivity/ openness. The Roman Centurion had people who dominated him, and he would accept that domination because it is the same software as dominating. He also dominated others. But Jesus's response invited him to recognize this top dog underdog dualsitic ego software, and thus free him from it. The Centurion became open to Jesus transcendental consciousness/ transcending dualistic ego software. The centurions transformation released the power of healing in the servant.
All of the stories of Jesus healing miracles are examples of an inspired response that invited a shift in consciousness from dualistic ego software to transpersonal conscioiusness/ the flow of the people who were healed.
My Grandpa told me that in every system there are four forces. The forces are the force of conservation, liberation, disillusion and expectancy.
The force of conservation is designed to guard the gains that have been made up to the point in time. Liberation is the force designed to fix the flaws that remain in the current system. Disillusion is the force designed to release your hold and your insistance on maintaining the current system. Expectancy is the force that envisions, or is open to the possibility of the emergence of a new system.
Liberation is trying to fix the flaws in the system. It is still wanting to maintain the same system, but fix the flaws in it. Disillusion is the humility to let go and allow a system to fall apart. The conservation force and the liberation force are similar in tha thtey are both trying to hold onto the system, but the liberal force is trying to fix it. The disillusion is a concession about all the mistakes that have been made in either conserving or fixing the current system.
My Grandpa told me  that the story of Jacob, Esau, Issac, and Rebeccah, is a story about the four forces in every system.
The force of Jacob is the force trying to fix the flaws. Jacob is the force of liberation. Esau is the force of conservation. He is the force of trying to guard the gains. He was a hunter, who represented more of the nomadic way of living that people wanted to hold onto. Jacob, was a tent dweller, representing more of the agricultural way of living/ a new way of living. Issac represented the force of disillusionment. He realized that neither the other forces solved the problem, and that he was incapable of coming up with a solution himself, and he was willing to let go in humility. He didn't try to come up with a solution to maintain the old system, or to help create the new. He realized that all of the attempts were leading nowhere. Rebeccah was "persistent and demanding" and said "there has got to be a better solution". She had an expectancy that something new could emerge. She knew the old system wouldn't work. Isaac did not try to come up with a new solution. He had no expectancy. He was more passive and depressed, while Rebeccah was persistent and determined. Esau might have been pious and deferential. And Jacob was pushy and demanding. Rebeccah was persistent and determined, which can lead to the flow/ transperosnal consciosuness/ make things possible for the flow. Pushy demanding, passive and depressed, and pious and deferential are ego oriented/ making things happen. When you make things happen, you are not in the flow- but you are in ego involvment. The flow emerges after you "make things possible". For instance, I practiced for hours every day in my backyard shooting baskets when I was considered the best basketball palyer in the nation. I was not "making things happen", but I was "makign things possible". In the flow, you are not invovled, but the ego self dissolves, and you are in touch with a higher harmony. You cannot make the flow happen. The ego cannot transcend the ego. But you can "make things possible"/ preparation, out of which the flow can emerge.
In the flow you are in a state of "expectancy" and not expectation. In expectation, you already anticipate what you want to happen. As a result, you are not open to inspiration. If you already have planned out your goal, you cannot be open to something greater emerging that is greater than your plan/ expectation. My Grandpa said the flow is "expectancy". You have a state of expectancy, where you prepare for the flow, and make the flow/ inspiration possible. This can happen if you are a comedian by studying comedy, or if you are a basketball player by shooting many shots in practice. Then, when you are in the basketball game, you have a trust/ expectancy that you can let go and allow what is perfect to happen/ and not make things happen, which is expectation. Making things happen is expectation. The flow is expectancy/ making things possible. My Grandpa said that the flow is an "anticipated accident"- you do not make it happen, if you made it happen it is not the flow. But at the same time paradoxically it is anticipated, because you prepare for it. My Grandpa said the flow is an "expected surprise"- a paradox in terms. It is a surprise in that, you cannot make the flow happen/ expectation. The flow/ inspiration comes to you, not from you, so you cannot make it happen. But it is expected if you prepare for it/ make things possible. You have Trust in the flow/ faith in the flow- faith in the higher dimension, but you do not force it. The flow involves great humility. A lot of people think that "trust in God involves arrogance, or extreme confidence". When Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego are thrown into the fiery furnace, they are not arrogant, and confident. They have a trust, but it is not an arrogant trust. An arrogant trust would be self indulgence. They say "If the God we serve is able to deliver us, then he will deliver us from the blazing fire". They are not saying "God is going to deliver us and we are faithful so that's going to happen". They are humble. They are not making things happen. They are not self indulgent and arrogant. That's why they are saved from the fire. They are in the flow. They had a trust, but it wsn't an arrogant trust, or self confirmatory trust. The flow is an openness/ receptivity/ intuition/ inspiration- not a "making things happen". But it is also not a "letting things happen". That is a form of "making things happen", by being passive. When people let things happen, they are still focused on the self. Passiveness is not self transcendence. Passiveness is an ego strategy. The flow is being open to what is perfect/ most pure/ Truth/ transcending the self.
Passivity is "trying not to try". Trying not to try is still trying- it is still an ego strategy. Paul says that salvation does not come through works- even the work of trying not to work. Salvation/ the flow/ transcendence of the imprisonment of the ego self does not come through you, but by Faith- faith is the trust to let go of all ego strategies and formulas and be alligned with the flow and taken over by the flow. This is why Paul says that salvation comes by grace and not works. It is not by your doings that you are saved, but the grace of the flow- you cannot make the flow happen- you can only prepare yourself for it and help to make it possible.
Muhammad said to wear clothes that match your social status. Therefore, you do not "try to look poor" in order to seem superior- because they might think being poor is superior- like my "German" friend.  As a result, some people may act inferior as a show of arrogance, and not humility. So Muhammad recommends to "dress in accordance to your wealth" At the same time Muhammad according to Hadith recommended not to wear jewelry or get tattoos. The Bible recommends the people to "not keep their hair unkempt"- because that calls attention to the ego body self/ is a distraction- as opposed to self transcendence to the flow. Jewelry and tattoos may call extra attention to yourself/ the desire to be superior/ superior inferior ego software, and the flow is the transcendence of the self to oneness/ losing the self. In the same way, my German friend calls attention to his self by trying to look poor to be superior, and is constantly focused on his self- trying to wear the right colors to fit in and belong- ironically he doesn't fit in and belong because he tries to hard. But Muhammad also said to "look at those below you when you are feeling bad about yourself". This is not necessarily superior inferior software, but that can be gratitude, and gratitude is important in the flow, because it keeps you open and cheerful. If you are playing basketball and are depressed it is hard to get in the flow, but if you are alert and happy it is easier. It is not that superior inferior software, or right v wrong software/ good v bad software is "bad" but there are consequences to dualsitic ego software- it is not the flow. For instance, the consequence of right v wrong dualsitic ego software is no problem is generally solved, except it usually leads to interpersonal argument. The consequence of superior inferior ego software is, for instance, in your desire to be superior/ predator prey software- you might steal- and the consequence of stealing is the people you steal from, especially if they have predator prey software, retaliate. That same software might influence you get in a fight with your teammates, and get kicked off your team. I know a player who had extreme superior inferior ego software. He wanted to be "rich" that was his main thing. And he was afraid of ever being made the underdog/ top dog underdog software. A female Coach told him to move after a game, and he got in a fight with her and the police were called on him. He could never admit that he was wrong, because he always had to be the top dog, so he blamed the school. He was afraid of not making the team/ he wanted to be superior/ superior inferior ego software. I think as a result he intentionally sabotaged himself so that the Coach kicked him off the team, so he would not have to feel the pain of actually not making the team. But he could have made the team if he did not act out. His excuse was- "I didn't make the team because the Coaches think I'm a loose cannon". But I think he would have rather thought that than have had the chance of making the team, but not making the team and seeing himself as "inferior/ superior inferior ego software". He would rather have Coaches "not accept him for beng a loose cannon", than not making a team and being told "its because you are not good enough"/ superior inferior ego software. A part of him not making the team was he sabotaged himself due to his dualsitic ego software. As a result he could have made the team, but his ego got in the way. He was good enough to make the team- his ego just really screwed it up. If you have superior inferior ego software, instead of practicing your game, you might spend the time trying to chase girls to be superior- or doing drugs to fit in- and this might screw you up. Then he heard that Coaches from different schools were "talking to each other about him". To be superior he called one of the Coaches and cussed him out- saying to keep his "name out of his mouth". He had to be the top dog/ top dog underdog software. Now the Coaches are talking to each other more saying "yeah, he can play, but his attitude is not worth having on the team"- and he's blackballed. The ego is magnificent in its accomplishetns but limited in its reach. That same ego might make him twerk his shot to "try to make it perfect"- but it just messes it up. When I was considerd the best shooter in the nation- I just played- I didn't think about my shot- I did not think about myself or my body. It is not helpful to call something good or bad, but it is more helpful to look at the consequences of software. It is not helpful to call dualisitc ego software bad/that itself is good v bad dualsitic ego software. But it is helpful to be aware of the consequencecs of dualsitic ego software. I have a lot of insight on how the ego can screw up things for you because I have faced that myself, when I didn't have insight on my ego and as a result it screwed me over- I'm still trying to fight back from mistakes I made due to dualistic ego software- and its tough, but its helpful to be able to have insight on it and understand it and be aware of it at least.
Last night I saw a Black woman make a post that showed a cartoon of a Black guy covered in tattoos and a White guy with a civil war outfit on, and they were holding hands, and the caption said "this is what the government is afraid of". The woman thought she was doing good, but as Paul said "the good I would I do not, and the bad which I would not do I end up doing". The woman still had "good guy v bad guy dualsitic ego software". But she was saying "the government is bad and the people are good". She still has dualsitic ego software, which is the problem to begin with- it is not the flow.
Also she has right v wrong software. She said in the comment section "yeah Black people and White people are equally fucked up, we should join forces and fight the real enemy our government". THis is an expression of dualsitic right v wrong software. If you agree with her that "White people and Black people are equal", then you are right, if you disagree then you are wrong. If you agree with her that the government is the problem you are right, if you disagree then you are wrong. Nothing is really helped with dualsitic ego software, because as Einstein said "you can't solve a problem with the thinking that creates it". In the comment section some White guys with good guy v bad guy software said some things like "yeah if Black people weren't so..."- and they said "racist things against Black people" trying to disagree with the woman- saying no the governent is not the bad guys, Black people are the bad guys. The woman's post was an expression of right v wrong software. Right v wrong software invites people with right v wrong duasltici ego software to counter. Nothing is really solved- only interpersonal soap opera drama emerges. The flow is transcendenc eof the ego and expansio of awareness to the point where focus is not on the self. The woman had "superior inferior equal dualistic software". SHe wants to say "Whites and Blacks are equally fucked up" and as Rodney King said "can't we all just get along"- can't we all just be equal. The desire to be "equal" is still focus on the ego self- and when people "try to get along"/ ego interpersonal consciousness- they tend to not get along. The desire to be superior or inferior is also still focus on the ego self- it is still interpersonal as opposed to transpersonal. People are not equal/ the same- people are unique- but everthing is one/ the body of Christ. In mutual participation, the focus is not on "getting along/ being equal" but the focus is on working to your highest potential and losing yourself in something greater than yourself/ the flow. The problem does not seem to be people, but it seems to be software, but software can be upgraded.
Let's say that somebody has a sticker on his car that says "Jesus saves". That can be an expression of any number of software systems. If the person just beleives that/ it is an attitude, then it is not action oriented and therefore is not impersonal. If it is is attitude oriented it is interpersonal and commuicates the idea that there are some who are insiders and others who are outsiders, depending on whether or not they have been "saved". Although insider outsider can be both attitude and action oriented interpersonal and impersonal, if if is followed by actions that exclude the outsdier from the insider group.
I saw somebody post a video on FaceBook called "If the Earth Treatus us the Way We Treat the Earth". It showed a girl dressed in a globe costume spraying people with oil and harming people and acting very absurd, like yelling at people. The video can be seen as an expression of right v wrong software. It is saying "you guys are wrong for polluting the Earth, and we are right for protecting the Earth". It is also superior inferior software, saying that "we are superior for being protectors of the environment", and opposing the polluters, or at least denigrating them. At the same time it could be discerning software, by shedding light on our blindness to what people are doing to the environment. It is not helpful to express right v wrong software. Instead what is helpful is to invite people to raise peoples awareness and sense of oneness and compassion/ the flow/ expand peoples comprehensivity and inclusivity. This is not a demand to force people to do this, but it is an invitation.
Let's say you are an "avid Laker Fan". If you identify with the Lakers to boost the ego, then it is insider outsider software. For instance, insider outsider software is both attitudinal and action oriented, interpersonal, and impersonal. If you are a Laker fan, and you exclude non Laker fans from your group that you associate with, then that is insider outsider software. Or it is superior inferior software, if you just support them because they are a superior team, and anybody who does not support the Lakers you view as inferior because they support inferior teams, and they have an inferior capacity to rate. It is not "right or wrong" or "good or bad" to root for a particular sports team. It is just helpful to recognize the software involved, and the consequences of that software. Last year, many people rooted for the Warriors, sometimes to be superior, sometimes to be an insider, but also it can just be an "awareness of excellence", where it is inspiring to see people in the pursuit of excellence. In the watching can a form of inquiry/ celebrating the pursuit of excellence/ the flow.
My Grandpa told me that entertainment is a form of self confirmatory behavior. When people just entertain themselves, it is a form of sensory and emotional indulgence, and sensory and emotional gratification/ masturbation. For instance, the Roman gladiator games, were a way to engross people in themselves/ in their egos. Disneyland can be a celebration of excellence, because it is impeccable the way it is maintained and operated. The demands they make of all their employees is an experssion of the pursuit of excellence. At the same time, going to Disneyland can be sensory and emotional gratification. It is not "right or wrong", but it can be a distraction from inquriy and ones development and evolution. Watching sports can also be a form of sensory and emotional gratification, or it can be a celbration of the pursuit of excellence. When you are inspired by excellence, it is not emotinal or sensory/ body oriented. The awareness takes place outside the body/outside the self/ sensory appartus- it is not self contained.
My friend told me once that "he does not trust anybody who has never smoked weed". My friend used weed as a way to be superior/ feel superior. He bragged a lot about doing drugs. Saying that he doesn't trust people who don't smoke weed can be an expression of insider outsider software, where he may exclude people who don't smoke. At the same time though, there can be a level of discernment in the phrase, in that, sometimes, people who are "straight laced" might be that way for ego motivations/ to be superior/ an insider/ to be right/ to make others wrong. For instance, the Puritans said "we don't smoke, we don't drink, we don't chew, and we don't screw, and we don't go with those who do". This itself is an expression of insider outsider ego software.
I don't oppose, or embrace, or desire, or indulge in marijuana, I just am not interested in opposing it, fearing it, or embracing it. Instead I have focused on expansion of my consciousness through inquiry, and have not relied upon chemical assistance. Oppsoing something is a form of supporting it, because it is judgemental and elicits a reactionary response of embracing it. Embracing something is also ego oriented, making you superior or an insider for supporting it.
It is true that smoking can be a form of self confirmatory behavior. When you put the smoking device in and out of your mouth, that is a constant form of self confirmation. Pardoxically though, it can help one to take his mind off of himself. For instance, I noticed when I chewed a toothpick, I would not think about myself, because I was thinking about the toothpick. At the same time a tattoo can be a form of self/ body confirmation. But paradoxically, it could also be an expression of saying that you are "more than your body"- by embellishing your body.
I would like to recap the expanding stages of growing up and waking up.
In growing up there is
action oriented impersonal stages-
predator prey
ally enemy
top dog underdog
insider outsider
attitudinal oriented interpersonal stages-
right v wrong
good guy v bad guy
superior v inferior v equal
cooperation
transpersonal oriented stages
mutual participation in locally agreed up on projets larger than the self
mutual participation in global projects
In waking up operating software, the expanding stages are
action and athought are induced by instinct and eventually by impulse-
magical
supersition
the beginning of being induced by the desire to understand intellectually what the order is/ how things work/ the order we depend on/ how the Universe is ordered-
mythical
ritual
where action and thought are induced by intellectual reasoning-
intellectual/ rational
transrational/ transpersonal- transcending the intellectually informed supported ego-
intuition
inspiration
When Jesus was confronted by the religious leaders who brought to him the woman who comitted adultery, Jesus knelt and wrote in the sand in order to create an empty space to allow for the possibility of an inspired thought. He did not get invovled in interpersonal/ rational intellectual debate. My Grandpa said that we can speculate that what he wrote in the sand was "should I approve of one side and disapprove of the other?", or "should I ignore the problem?", or "none of the above?" None of the above is the expectancy of an inspired thought from the "None from above"- the No Thing- what the Kabbalists call the Ein Sof- inspiration. Jesus was in a pure state of openness, inquriy, and receptivity to inspiration/ the flow. He had transcended his ego, and the inspired response of "he who is without sin shall cast the first stone" emerged, whereupon he immediately again knelt and wrote in the sand, to allow for the possibility of inviting everyone to be free of interpersonal and judgemental considerations/ soap opera interpersonal right v wrong thinking. The response was an open invitation for everyone to transcend their egos to the flow, and it is interesting to note that hte story was followed by the statement "and beginning with the eldest, they dropped their stones and walked away silently" and finally he turned to the woman and said "go and sin no more," which was for her an invitation to transcend her ego self indulgent preoccupations. This is a very profound and inclusive account in the Bible to elucidate the idea of living in an inspired/ transpersonal domain. I say domain and not level, because level can imply judgement. Also notice how I have been saying "so and so expressed right v wrong software" as opposed to saying "he had right v wrong software". The reason why it is most helpful to say "expressed" is it takes away the judgement component and the personal component of the statement. Notice that it is important to not say "I say 'expressed'." By saying "I", it is making it personal, but the "I' does not exist- or exists in the imagination. It is very difficult to stay in the transpersonal and out of the interpersonal- by saying "I think" or "notice how I", it would be coming from a personal perspective, and the separate person is an illusion. My Grandpa also taught that it is beneficial to say "it appears that" or "it seems that" as opposed to saying "I think that". By saying "it appears", it is a hedge against inviting argument, and interpersonal agreeing and disagreeing. To say "it appears", is not saying an "I'm right" statement, or "this is right", which is right v wrong interpersonal ego software- inviting argument. Although it is beneficial to speak this way, it is not a formula or not necessary, so if I  do not feel that it will lead to right v wrong interpersonal thinking, I will say I. Not saying I can be used as a useful discipline in maintaining the transpersonal perspective, but it is not a formula that needs to be followed, otherwise that itself would become a problem in that anybody who said "I" would be labelled as "wrong"- creating right v wrong dualsitic ego software.
I want to talk now about the idea of domesticity. Notice how it would be funny if right there I said "it would be benficial to talk about domesiticity" lol. My Grandpa described that domesticity is limiting and potentially harmful. I don't want to say that it is "dangerous" because that would be judging domesticity- inviting right v wrong dualistic ego software. I discussed earlier how Forest Gump continuously runs. He always has a high level of aliveness, and he is constantly expanding his boundaries and evolving, allowing for the possiblity of being more open to the flow. Notice how I did not say "evolving himself" or "allowing himself to be more open". If I said self, that could add a persoanl component. Notice how right there I wrote "if I said self". We have been trained to view reality through the interpersonal perspective. We have been taught that we are separate beings and that there is a physical Universe, composed of separate physical objects and persons. Perhaps instead of saying "I said self", a more tranpseronal way of saying that would be "to say 'self' could add a personal component."
In the story of the Odyssey, Odysseus is given at the beginning of the story an opportunity to stay on the "island of Calypso", with a Goddess and be immortal. Odysseus however, decides to not stay on the island, but to continue in his journey to his island where his wife is. The temptation to stay on the island of Calypso, is a manifestaiton of domesticity. There is the temptatio to want to settle, to want to be content, and to not expand, and take the "heroes journey", that Joseph Campbell talked about. Domesticity, is sepecial reationships, and self confirmatory, settling. When somebody settles, he is not expanding the self, or growing, and becomes imprisoned in the ego self, and the desire to protect and promote the ego self. Domesticity is a "homemade plan of self protection". Jesus is told in the Bible "your Mother and your family are here to see you, to which he responded, "who is my Mother and my family, those who do the will of my Father in heaven". In other words, everybody could be Jesus family. In interpersonal ego software, superior inferior dualsitic software, a person will consider his family to be those who are of his tribe, or race/ his allies. But Jesus is in the transpersonal. When Jesus says "those who do the will of my Father in heaven", he is referring to the flow. Jesus is in the flow. In the flow/ pure awareness, there is no self or other, there is no family or non family.
On another occasion Jesus said "foxes have dens, birds have nests, but the son of man has no place to rest his head". Resting your head is domesticity/ relying upon that as a homemade plan of protection/ ego promotion and protection. The irony of homemade plans of salvatio is not only do they not protect you, but they can put you in more danger.
After Jesus fed the 5000 people, he went to the other side of the lake, and people followed him. They became emotional followers depending upon him. Jesus knew that people wanted to depend upon him. He didn't want followers, but he wanted people to be discipined inquirers/ disciples, because he understood that to become a follower is to settle for a domestic/homemade special relationship, and he didn't want people to settle for an interpersonal relationship as a follower. If you follow somebody, you memorize what they say, and you do it as a form of self protection and self promotion. You believe what they say / what they say is right/ right v wrong dualsitic ego software. You become intellectually and emotionally dependent upon that indivudal. Jesus did not want followers, and thus he went to the other side of hte river. Jesus wanted disciples/disciplined inquirers. A disciplined inquirer does not agree or disagree with what is said- when you agree or disagree, that is right v wrong dualisitc ego software- you think that it is right or wrong. Instead in inquiry, you are open to insight and inspiration, and open and receptive. Jesus said "he came to bring a sword". The sword is the ability to discriminate between "Truth and illusion"/ "reality and imagination". This capacity of discernement comes after much development. Its important to say "discernment" instead of "discriminaton", because discrimination implies a judgemental quality to it. To discriminate says "one is right and one is wrong"- which is right v wrong dualsitic ego software. My Grandpa often followed what he said with the statement "I could be full of shit", reminding people and himself, that he does not want them to agree or disagree with what he says, because his desire was to invite them into a state of their own inquiry into the Truth.
Odysseus in the Odyssey does not settle for the island of Calypso/ domesticity/ special relationship with the Goddess Calypso. A special relationship is self confirmatory. Instead Odysseus continues the Heroes Journey/ his development and evolution towards self transcendence. If Odysseus never left the island of Calypso, he would have never achieved self transcendence. At the end of the Odyssey, scholars point out how "nobody can recognize who Odysseus is". By the end of the Odyssey, Odysssues truly has underdgone a self transcendence/ self transformation. In the middle of the story, he is very ego motivated, telling the psychlopse, "it is I, Odysseus who cut out your eye". This is fine, and in the process of ones evolution, the ego can help to spur one forward. The ego is magnificent in its accomplishments, yet limited in its reach. By the end of the story, Odyssues is truly in the flow- nobody can recognize him- he has achieved self transcendence. But he had to go through the heroes journey/ break out of domesticity to achieve this.
Christinaity, and Islam, and Hinduism, and any religion, can be a homemade plan of protection/ the island of Calypso/ solely a desire to protect and promote the ego self, both in this life and in an eternal life. Odysseus does not settle for this temptation.
Jesus tells the parable of the elder and the prodigal son. In the story the prodigal son leaves the comfort of his home, not settling for domesticity. The protective enclosure of the familiar domesticy had served the function in his life, preparing him to become strong enough to venture out on his own journey of inquiry and discovery. Its important to note that the family/ protective enclousre/ special relationships/ comfort zone can serve a useful function in ones life. Similarly fundametnalist religion, which encourages emotional and intellectual dependency, can serve a useful  function as well. By becoming emotionally and independt on someone, someone can develop the strength to venture out on his own inquiry. There comes a point when a person has developed enough within the protective enclosure of domesticity, to where it is beneficial for him to venture out. The prodigal son breaks free of conformity/ the family, and he goes out on his own. However, non conformity is also not the flow. Non conformity always leads to problems and painful consequences. The son has at least broken free of conformity, which is not the flow, but he has now adopted non conformity, which is not the flow as well. Non conformity is still ego motivated, as opposed to inspired/ intuition/ and inquriy. However, the painful circumstanes that he encounters also induces his "wrestling with Surely" thereby serving a useful function in his evolution of consciousness. He at least understands that conformity is not the flow, that there is something greater than conformity, but he also is now aware that he cannot make the flow happen, that nonconfrmity is not the flow. The elder son, who stayed within domesticity/ which is a form of ego protection and promotion, has never come to this realizaiton, so he is not as enriched as the son who has ventured out of his comfort zone. The elder son as never been fored to "wrestle with Surely"/ Surely there is more to life than the comfort that comes from settled domesticity. So when the prodigal son comes back, he is embraced by his Father. The prodgial son is more enriched and evovled, wheras the complacent elder son, is not. The elder son is jealous, and still ego motivated, saying how "he was good and yet the prodigal son is celebrated for returning". He was celebrated/ not complimented. The Father neither complimented the prodigal nor critized the elder, but he invited the elder child to celebrate with him the transformation that occured in his younger brother. The younger brother knew there was ore to life than conformity, discovered that non conformity is not the flow as well, and as a result he is more receptive to the flow/ transcendence of the ego self/ pure awareness.
The elder son valued being a beneficial person by staying at home, but the younger son benfited by being a benefiial presence, as opposed to a beneficial person. The elder son wanted to stay home to be a beneficial person and help out his Father etetera, which is an ego motivation. The prodigal son, by virtue of his self transcending self transformation, became free of the ego to be a beneficial presence. His presence was beneficial and not what he did. The quality of his presence allowed for the possibility that whatever he would do would be beneficial.
Paul says "be content in whatever you do". This does not mean "be settled/ settle for domesticity". "Content" is a poor translation. Paul is saying, when you do something chose to do it. Don't wish to be somehwere else. When yo uchose it you have the freedom. If you feel fored into it, then you are not being beneficial, if you are rebelling against it you are not beneficial. That is another whole issue. Paul is not saying "settle for domesticy", but he is saying "don't resent or resist where you are in the moment", chose to be there, and once you chose to be there then you have the freedom to make another chocie. AA says "it is what it is and aint what it aint". Acknowledge where you are and chose to be where you are. Don't resent it or fear it, or settle for it. Translating the passage to say "be content" is a mistranslation. It is saying "chose to be where you are"- don't deny it and try to avoid it or resnet it and try to attack it/ judge it- don't settle for it.
The desire to be a beneficial person merges out of the ego. The elder son wanted to be a beneficial person. He wanted to follow the formula and script of what a "beneficial person" should do, and that would be stay home and stay in domesticity. The prodigal son broke free of the desire to be a beneficial person, although he had not yet arrived at the state of being a beneficial presence, he at least escaped from conformity, which is not the flow. Beneficial presence is not a state that you can aquire, but it is a state that you can arrive at. To aquire something implies there is a strategy or formula for making it happen. But the flow/ beneficial presence is an "expected surprise", or an "anticipated accident". You cannot make the flow happen. The prodigal son broke out of the boundaries of conformity, and thus expanded his awareness. Even though in his nonconformity, he was not in the flow, he at least now knows that nonconformity is not the flow, and he has more experience with the world, outside of the confines of his home. As a result, he is better prepared to be caught up in the flow. Mistakes are an inevitable consequence of operating in the ego. They are to be used as spurs to wrestle with Surely. The prodigal son made mistakes. But my Grandpa told me a mistake is not a mistake if you learn from it. My Grandpa taught me that problems are questions looking to be asked. Questions are answers waiting to be realized. Answers open you to the possiblity of being caught up in the flow. When you realize something you are open/ out of the ego. You did not realize it with the intellect, out of the influence of hte ego, but it came through inspiration from a higher source. The prodigal son made "mistakes". But in AA, it is described, "every drink was necessary to get me to where I am today". People with an addiction surrender to a higher power to break free of the addiction. The surrendering to the higher power is the letting go of the self/ ego, and submitting to the flow. The ego has supproting beliefs and behaior. The reason why somebody may drink is because he feels that it helps him belong/ insider outsider software. By submitting to the flow/ transcendence of the ego, the addiction is released. But it takes many mistakes/ being up against the wall, before somebody can feel enough pain to feel the need to transcend the ego. My Grandpa told me that "pain pushes and possibility pulls".  Possiblity is the empty space for a possible inspiration/ inspired realization. Possibility is the empty space creating he opening for a possible inspired realization. Pain can push somebody to let go of his ego. It can be difficult for some to have enough pain to do this. For instance, a powerful world leader, might have too much social appropbation, and thus receive no pain from others to change ego ways, because they fear him. Or in the Church or mosque or temple, somebody might be ego oriented, but he gains social approbation from others with the same software. That is why Jesus said "it is better to be hot or cold than Luke Warm". At least if you are fanatical, you are more likely to get punched in the face, and recognize the limitations of the ego, and be confronted by Surely- Surely there is more to life than this/ the flow. However pain is never enough to push you into the possibility of the transcendence of the ego. No amount of pain can push you in that direction. It is also required an empty space of the possibiit of transformation to pull you. Having a guru is also important. A simple metaphor is "you cannot push a heavy chain". In order to move that chain forward you need both the power of something to pull it and the power of something to push it. This is an illustration of pain pushes and an open space of possibility for inspration pulls it. What creates the empty space are the raising of the boat/ letting go of attachments that let the boat rise/ having a beneicial environement like a guru and other seekers, which is raising the level of the water, and raising the speed of the boat whih makes it go higher/ raising your level of aliveness/ quality of partiipation, as illustrated by Forest Gump when he constantly ran and never settled.
The story of Mary and Martha might also be a story about the difference between being a benefical person, and a beneficial presence. When Lazarus dies, Martha and Mary meet Jesus. Martha is a little bit pious and deferential/ self righteous. She tells Jesus ��Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” Martha has magial thinking and believes that Jesus an make something happen. The second part is a dawning realization there is more happening here than magical or superstitious thinking.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Martha had been taught this, and she believed it. It is not evidence that she realizes a domain of an eternal reality/ timeless reality.
Eckart Tolle talks about "living in the now". I asked my Grandpa if he is accurate, that "living in the now is important". My Grandpa said, there is no now, there is no time. The eternal domain of life is not bound by linear time. The eternal reality is the flow. In the flow, the issue of time disappears.
Martha memorized the idea that "the dead will rise in the resurrection". She stated this to Jesus, the Rabbi, in order to be pious and right. She was more absorbed in her intellect informed and supported ego.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
Jesus meant "do you have the capacity to realize the true nature of this statement." My Grandpa told me that the word "belief" is a mistranlation, but he meant "do you comprehend this- or understand this". JEsus did not want her to just believe it, but he wanted her to realize the deeper nature of it.
Martha says 27 “Yes, Lord,”, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God,who is to come into the world.”
Martha is being pious and deferential. She is trying to kiss Jesus butt, in order to be an insider/ insider outsider duasltici ego software, or right/ right v wrong ego software

Martha is being pious and deferential. She is trying to kiss Jesus butt, in order to be an insider/ insider outsider duasltici ego software, or right/ right v wrong ego software, or perhaps superior to her sister/ superior inferior ego software. Martha is perhaps acting self righteous.
28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
It seems that Martha's self righteous, memorized religiosity did not move Jesus. He did not even move from the spot where Martha had spoken to him.
32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
This is an experssion emotionally of the profound awareness of oneness with Lazarus and the people. Mary was not pious like Martha was, but she was "perceptive and discerning". She was not motivated by the ego, but was inspired. As a result, Jesus is deeply moved and weeps. Jesus did not weep with Martha. He was not moved to support her expression of software. He was not moved to support her pious and deferential mode of being, but was deeply moved by Mary's discernment and perception.
Jesus says to "move the stone" from the tomb. The stone is "beliefs and conclusions/ ego intellectual experience based thinking".

In the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, Martha aspires to be a "beneficial person", as distinct from a beneficial presence. Notice how I did not say "opposed to" a beneficial presnece. Opposed to is dualistic thinking. Mary wants to learn from Jesus/ the master/ guru, and expand her awareness. Mary aspires to being a beneficial presence. Martha is more concerned about being seen as good or superior/ superior inferior duasltic ego software.
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary,who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[f] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Martha is "distracted". It is not that what she is doing is wrong, that is right v wrong duasltic ego software. Jesus just says that what Mary is doing is "better". It is not a judgmenet, it is just a discerning that it is more liberating and beneficial. Christian pastors have noted that doing housework is not "wrong", but Martha is doing it from an ego standpoint. Mary is working on the expansion of her awareness with Jesus, increasing her capacity for insight/ inspiration/ being a beneficial presence, and not so concerned with being a benficial person as Martha is.
I have heard a rabbi describe that Jewish sages have said that a Rabbi/ teacher/ guru is God- or one with God. I have heard it said in Hindu scriptures, like the Puranas, that a guru is "equal to God". Jesus says that "he and the Father are one". Mary is learning from the Guru/ teacher. He is helping her to allign with the flow. Everybody and everything is one, but some people are more alligned with the flow. Jesus was a perfect conduit of the flow/ a perfectly flowing energy event, who could inspire the elevation of consciousness.
JEsus said "where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am among them"/ much light/ potentail is released/ the flow is released. My Grandpa said "parallel beams of light potentitate". Where two or three are gathered together in the flow, like two or three basketball players together in the flow, they shed much light/ excellence.
In the story of Job, Job does not settle for memorizing answers. There is a difference between an answer and a "memorized answer". An answer comes from inspiration. A memroized answer is given to somebody and believed without insight/ realization. Job is in a constant state of inquriy. His comforters tell him that he must be suffering due to sins that he has comitted, but he does not believe this answer. But at the end of the story Job realizes the reality of God/ the flow. Notice how it is beneficial not to say "experienced God". Experience is sensory based, as opposed to intuition/ inspiraitn, which transcends the senses/ mundane ego experience based reality. Job says about God at the end of the story of Job,  "I have heard about you with my ears, but now my eyes have seen". In other words "I have heard about you through intellectual explanations, but now I realize your reality through my own expansion of awareness". The word "see" is a weak translation. Job was saying that his "inner eye", had realized the reality of the flow. Job would not have realized this higher reality if he had not continued to probe his friends and seek a deeper meaning.

My Grandpa told me that Mr. Rogers was a beneficial presence. My Grandpa told me that Mr. Rogers tried to encourage people to move towards cooperation/ mutual participation. One of his favorite statements was "won't you be my neigbor". This statement connotes mutual participation, and a move toward an awareness of oneness. It can be interpreted as "sentimentality", but it is essentially an invitation towards an awareness of oneness. My Grandpa said that Ghandi was also a beneficial presence. Ghandi tried to help the Muslims and Hindus move beyond insider outsider dualsitic software, and towards oneness/ mutual participation. He also helped the Indians to break free of colonialism. There is a spiritual aspiraiton of colonialism. The spiritual aspiraiton behind cloonialism is to bring oneness. The British will say that they tried to help the Hindus by breaking them free of their supersititions in Hinduism to Christianity. But Christianity can be as supersitious as Hinduism. I have heard a person say that the British were beneficial in India, because they tried to stop "barbaric practices" such as Sati, where Indian women would burn themselves alive after their husbands died. I asked my Grandpa if he thought that the British were correct in doing this. My Grandpa agreed that it is probably not a beneficial practice, however he noted that any ritual is beneficial. There is an importance to rituals, because rituals break people out of their habits, circumstances, and other people. So the ritual of Sati has that benefit. It ceises to be harmful only when it deteriorates into superstitious practices. I desccribed earlier that I think I understnad the transpersonal meaning of when Sati comitted suicide in the story of Shiva and Daksha. When women perorm Sati they are rennacting the suicide of Sati, Shivas wife. Sati means, "Truth". When Daksha, wanted Shiva to bow to him, Truth died. Dakshas daughters are spiritual qualities like "humility", "celebrity", "forgiveness" and other spirtual qualities. However these qualities emerge from Shiva/ the flow. So when Daksha tried to make Shiva bow to him, he was trying to say that the flow was less important than these qualities. When this happened, Truth died/ comitted sucidie. The Truth lives only when the flow is primary. If Hindus follow the ritual of Sati, with this tranpsersonal perspective in mind, then it would not be harmful necessarily. But if it is practiced from a supersitious standpoint, it is probably not beneficial, because it eerges from the ego desire to make something happen. My Grandpa said that Abraham Lincoln was also a beneficial presence. Abraham Lincoln surrounded himself by men who would question him, and help him to grow and evolve his consciousness. The most famous statement of this quality of presence, was stated in the Ghettysberg address- "with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God shows us (via inspiration) the right, we press on..." This is a powerful statement. It is a statement of an excellent quality of presence. It is this quality of presence that enabled Ghandi to forgive, and Lincoln to not pass judgement. There is a famous song called Amazing Grace, that was written by a slave trader. The slave trader wrote "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wreth like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind (blinded by the imprisoning ego) but now I see". The person attribues his salvation to Grace, and not his self/ his ego. The ego cannot save itself from the ego, but it is by Grace that the flow/ transendence of ego comes. I would like to talk about the Black Hebrew Israelites. The Black Hebrew Israelites claim that Black people are the Israelites and White people are Esau. They tend to be very ego oriented. For instance, at the march where the Indian man was in the face of the White kid, the Black Hebrew Israelites were yelling negative things about "gay people". The BHI tend to think in terms of genetic Darwinism. They say that Martin Luther King was evil, because he brought about the mixing of the races. This is good guy v bad guy dualistic ego software. There is a girl who I met at a Messianic synagogue who told me that she has "Irish ancestry", but she is Black. She claims that Black people are the true Israelites. She will look in the Bible for instance, and find passages that she thinks indicate that the Israelites were Black. For instance, she pointed out a passage that she thinks indicates that the Israelites ate fried chicken. She also points to passages that she thinks indicate that Israelites wore tattoos and wore jewelry, like Black people do today. She has very much superior inferior ego software. But it is ironic that she gos on about this, but then she talks about having White ancestry. I questioned, "maybe she really likes White people, but she is trying to tell White people that it is ok to be racist". I thought maybe she sees herself as White, being that she has White ancestry, and she wants to tell White people that racism is ok, since she herself a "Black woman" is racist. I even saw her dating White men, and posting videos on FaceBook showing “Black people with blue eyes”. She was obsessed with race/ the ego self. I asked my Grandpa what he thinks about that theory. My Grandpa said regardless, even if that is true, that she is “really for Blacks but pretending to be against Whites to help Blacks”, she still is expressing dualsitic superior inferior ego software. Even if she is trying to help White people out, she is still trapped in the ego. The same thing with Farakhan. I used to question if he was secretely a White supremacist. I know that sounds crazy, but I looked at him, and thought that he looked like he has European ancestry. I thought to myself how his "hatred towards White people", and desire for Blacks and Whites to be separate, was exactly what "White supremacists" wanted. I thought it was almost like he was a White supremacist, pretending to be Black, to try to justify the racism of White people. But now I recognize, he just has dualsitic superior inferior ego software. Regardless if he sees Blacks as superior sincerely, or if he secretly sees Whites as superior, it does not matter. He is still focused on the ego self. I know that somebody can be a "Black supremacist", but that person, if he has any amount of compassion, will eventaully feel sorry for the group he hates. That will turn him into a "White supremacist"/ the same thing. Eventually he will feel sorry for Blaks, and he might go back and fourth in his schizoid mind. Finally he will, without understanding any higher possiblity, resort to "hating the reptilians", or "the elites", and find a new group to hate, so he does not have to hate the two groups he previously hated. But he still has dualistic ego superior inferor software. The problem is never the people, the problem is always the software. My Grandpa taught me there is no such thing as racism, or "a racist." There is only the ego dualsitic software ways of thinking constantly in search of specific content to which to manifest that way of thinking. So long as that way of thinking persists, there will always be an attempt to find good guys and bad guys, insiders and outsiders, superiors and inferiors. The fat of the matter is, people are not "equal" either. People might resort to saying "ok we are all equal". That is not true. That is still focus on the ego self, and judgeental thinking, where you say "I am right we are all equal, and if you disagree you are wrong"/ right v wrong software. People are unique. The flow is when you focus on excellence and achieving your highest potential/ expansion of your awarenes sand consciosuenss/ inquiry, where the ego self dissolves, and you are not caught up in superior inferior equal consciousness. When the Black person says “White people are the bad guys”, this encourages Whites to say “no you are the bad guys”- good guy v bad guy dualstiic ego software, or “we aren’t the bad guys, the elites are the bad guys”- and everybody is finding somebody to blame/ good guy v bad guy dualsitic ego software. Nothing is solved in the process. People are not to blame, the sotware is to blame, and people can upgrade their software
It is most liberating, to say simply "we are". God in the burning bush says "I am". My Grandpa said that "I am" is pure awareenss/ the flow. When you say I am, you are not focused on an ego identity, but you have lost yourself in "being". In the story of Gideon, Gideon defeats the Mideonites. The Black Hebrew Israelites are focused on "the superiority of Blacks". Fundamentalist Christians tend to be focused on the ego self as well/ the salvation of the ego self, and the promotion and proteciton of the ego self. As a result they tend to have superior nferioe dualsitc ego software, and things like "racism", or "sexism" are just expressions of this software. Gideon in the story of Gideon fighting the Mideonites, has his soliders drink from a river. The soldiers who lapped up the water like dogs, Gideon uses to fight the Mideonites. I read about the story of Gideon online, and the pastor wrote how the reason why Gideon has only the soldiers who lapped like dogs fight, is "to show that it was not by the power of the people that won the battle, but it was by God/ the flow". Gideon could have used all of the Israelites, but then the Israelites might have felt that it was by their own power that they won the battle. But the flow is "not your own power" it transcends the ego self. A Black Hebrew Israelite, will want to look at the story, and say "see we are superior, we beat the Mideonites who were White". But this is dualsitic ego software, and the point of the story is that, it is not by your strength, but by the flow, that you succeed. For instance, I looked through many stories in the Bible, and whenever there is victory it will say something like "God defeated them", or "God brought victory", or "it is not by the might and power of my own hand that has gotten me the victory". When I was considered by many to be the best basketball player in the nation, I was not aware of what I was doing. I did not plan out what I was doing, I did not have any special memorized techniques or strategies, I had no special knowledge, I just let go and let the flow do what it did. I had lost myself. So it was not "me"- if it was "me" that was doing things, trust me- I would have sucked. Gideon heard the man explain what the dream meant. Then Gideon bowed down and worshiped. He returned to the camp of Israel. He called out, “Get up! The Lord has handed the Midianites over to you.” Then they shouted the battle cry, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” **21 **Each man stayed in his position around the camp. But all the Midianites ran away in fear. They were crying out as they ran. **22 **When the 300 trumpets were blown, the Lord caused all the men in the enemy camp to start fighting one another. They attacked one another with their swords. The army ran away to Beth Shittah toward Zererah. It says "for the Lord" and it says "the Lord caused all the men in the enemy camp to start fighitng one another". The enemy was not in the flow/ they were not with the Lord/ the flow. Fighting one another is an illustration of interpersonal dualsitic thinking. The Israelites were in the flow/ with the Lord. I desribed how if you are playing a basketball team that is caught up in dualsitic ego thinking, not only will they want to beat you, but they will want to beat each other, and have conflict with each other/ compete and engage in conflict with one another. The Mideanites were not in the flow. When you are not in the flow, you destroy yourself. That is the meaning of this story. The Israelties do not take personal credit, but the credit is to the Lord/ self transcendence/ the flow. The Israelites take neither responsibility nor credit for the results. A Black Hebrew Israelite group is full of top dog underdog, insider outsider, good guy bad guy software. As a result, they will be full of contentious conflict and confusion, like the Mideonites. In the Bible somebody asks Jesus "who can be saved", after Jesus says the Rich Young Ruler who was trapped in attachment/ superior inferior ego software, could not be saved/ gain inspiration/ the flow. Jesus responds "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Mans manmade plans of protection and savlation cannot save. If I go into a basketball game with a bunch of plans of how I put my feet and what I'm going to do, and what moves to make, I would not be in the flow, and would not be close to as effective as if I was in the flow. Jesus says "with God all things are possible". He is telling them to let go of the self/ ego strategies/ man/ separation duasltici ego software, to the flow/ God. My Grandpa told me that "people who act like nerds" tend to be people who have "woken up", but have not "grown up". A person who has "woken up" might be at the level of intellectual consciousness, and he might be intelligent. But he might not have "grown up". He might have insider outsider dualtiic ego software, or superior inferior ego software, and he thinks that by acting inferior he is superior. My Grandpa told me that Bruce Jenner has mad a step in the right direction. Bruce Jenner understands that he is not a man. Paul in the Bible says "in Christ there is no male or female". In Christ/ the flow/ pure awareness, there is no ego identity. But Bruce Jenner thinks that the only other possiblity, is that he must be a "woman", if he is not a man. The additional option is that "maybe he is both". But my Grandpa said that everythign is one/ energy/ consciousness/ apophatic. In the flow, Jenner would not attach himself to any particular physical or gender identiy/ self confirmation. At the same time however, people on Fox News who might say "Bruce Jenner is crazy" themselves have dualstiic top dog underdog software. They may even confirm Jenners illusion that he is a separte self, but fighting him. And they confirm their illusion sthat they are separate selves by judging and fighting, assuming that we are identified by our physical plumbling system and our preferred form of sexual pleasure/ self confirmatory behavior. In the story where Jacob wrestles with the angel, after Jacob wrestles with the angel, Jacob asks the angel what his name is. It is a subtle and profound legend. To name someone is to give them an identity as a "separate entity". Jacob wrestles with God, and has survived/ been transcended. Jacob is given the name "Israel", identifying his expression of excellence/ reaching his highest potential. In other words, Jacob is one who has reached his highest potential. But Jacob asks the angel what his name is. The angel says "why do you ask my name"? The angel says "you do not need to attach a name to me in order to establish that I a a separte entity". "You do not need to attach a name or identify me as a separate being.", implying "I am that I am". God in the burning bush says "I am"- this is an expression of pure awareness. Whenever you name something, you create separation and also you circumscribe that thing. For instance, if you call somebody "schizophrenic", then you think you know that person based on the title, but you limit that person to that title. My Grandpa said that it is a beneficial ritual, that the Israelites do not say the name of God, but call God "Hashem", which means the name. When you name something you limit it. I asked my Grandpa what he thinks about how the HAre Krishna chant the 16 word mantra Hare Krishna Hare Rama, saying that Krishna and Rama, the names are equaivalent to God. My Grandpa told me that chanting is a benficial ritual, in that any ritual is beneficial in that it akes you out of your habits circumstances and personal relationships. Also the chant is melodicious and rhythmic and can raise your level of alvivvness. But I want to mentio this. It is imorant to know what Krishna and Rama mean. Krishna, in sanskrit means, "all attractive/ Blackaness/ because it attracts all light and thus looks Black". Rama means "pleasure//bliss/ecstacy". This is saing that Krishna is all attractive bliss/ ecstacy/ the flow/ self transcendence. KRishna is the all attractive principle/ antientropic reordering function. Terrence Mckenna said there is a "great attractor" moving history towards an omega point- that could be argued to be Krishna/ the great attractor. egg shell wrestle with angel Bruce Jenner. hurt leg Conspiracy theories With God all things possible yes yes no no lost now im found blind now I see Franklin thousand faces
I will discuss some stories from mythology and explain how they relate to the flow. I mentioned that Shiva cuts off the head of Daksha. Daksha and his daughters are the embodiment of spiritual qualities. I heard Duncan Trussel try to explain that Shiva was the God of destruction, and Hindus do not deny destruction, but they acknowledge it, so they worship Shiva. I think he might have missed the point. I think the story is simply an allegory that the flow/Shiva is primary, and the spiritual qualities, such as humility, forgiveness, celebrity, and Truth, emerge from the flow. So Shiva cuts off Dakshas head. In the same manner, Shiva cuts off Ganeshas head. Ganesha represents wisdom. Shiva cutting off Ganeshas head is symbolic of the idea that the flow/Shiva, precedes wisdom. Wisdom comes from the flow/ oneness/ pure awareness. In the same manner Parashurama, an avatar of Vishnu cuts off Ganesha's tusk. Ganesha is wisdom, and wisdom is very important. But Shiva/Vishnu are one and they represent the flow/ pure awareness. Parashurama/Vishnu cuts off Ganeshas tusk, representing that the flow is higher than wisdom/ wisdom comes from the flow. Ganesha does not think that Parashurama is the flow, because Parashurama has killed and Parashurama is desparate to attain Shiva- sometimes wisdom cannot discern properly. There is no formula to the flow. Parashurama killed not out of ego, but because the sacred cow was stolen, and in self defense. The story does not say that "killing is ok", but it is just showing tha thtere is no formula to the flow, and theer was no ego involvment in Parashurams actions that most people would think are ego motivated. In the Bible, arc of the covenant is placed in the Temple of Dagon. Dagon is a Cannanite fertility God. Fertility is ego motivated. Fertility is the desire to perpetuate and protect and promote the ego self. The Tetragrammaton beheads the Dagon idol, similar to how Shiva beheads Ganesha and Daksha. There is nothing wrong with fertility. To say that fertility is wrong is right ve wrong dualstiic ego software. In the same way, there is nothing wrong with Daksha and his daughters- modesty, forgiveness, oblations- these are all fine. But the reason why Daksha is beheaded is because the flow is primary. The Tetragrammaton represents transcendence of the ego/ inquiry/ self transceence/ expansion of awareness/ the flow. Fertility is ok if it is a byprdouct of the flow/ the tetragrammaton. But to put fertility as primary is ego motivation/ superior inferior ego software. That would be like a religion forcing the women to cover their whole bodies so that they could be good "baby makers". This is dualsitic superior inferior ego software, and within that religion there would be a lot of contentious conflict and suffering because the flow is not primary. When the people of the Cannanite city see that their fertility God Dagon had been beheaded, they move the arc of the Covenant/ the tetragrammaton/ the flow. As a result they are inflicted with tumors and panic and suffering. They are not in the flow- they put the ego/fertility first, and as a result the consequence is their suffering. The Philistines end up sending the Arc of the Covenant/Tetragrammaton back to Israel- they want to put Dagon/Fertility God first. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+5&version=NIV I discussed that Daksha bows to Shiva/the flow. Wisdom/Ganesha bows to Shiva. Shiva has Ganesha/Wisdom perform a contest with Kartikeya/war, and Ganesha defeats Kartikeya. This is a metaphor illustrating that wisdom is greater than war. Again, war is not bad, and Shiva does not "hate war/Kartikeya". But Ganesha does defeat war, showing that Wisdom is better than war. Also Chandra, the moon God bows to Shiva. A lot of people look at these myths literally, and interpersonally. I am the first person that I know of who has interpreted all of these myths as allegories conveying deeper Truths. Chandra/the Moon God represents inspiration/ the flow. The demigods in the Vedas drink soma. Soma gives eternal life. My Grandpa described for me that eternal life is the flow. In the flow you are in the "eternal moment"- a paradox- you are in the timeless- there is no time in the flow. The ancient Indians equated the soma with the Moon God Chandra. They said that when the moon waned, that was because the demigods drank the soma, and the moon was the container of the soma. When the moon waxed, that was the soma being refilled. The soma is eternal life. The moon is light. Light is inspiration/ illumination. Inspiration is eternal lfie/ the flow. The Moon God in the Puranas, marries Dakshas daughters. Inspiration and Humility, Forgiveness, Celebrity, Oblation, and other spiritual qualiteis are related. However Chandra mainly focuses on one of the daughters. Daksha gets angry and tells Shiva that he wants Chandra to be killed. Shiva instead makes Chandra wax and wane as punishment, since Chandra does penance and bows to Shiva. Shiva is the flow/ the flow is primary- and out of the flow emerges Chandra/ inspiration. That is why Chandra bows to Shiva. Chandra is on Shivas head. Inspiration/Chandra, and Shiva/the Flow are related. Also the Goddess the Ganges River is on Shivas head. The Ganges river represents baptism/dieing of the self and rebirth to the flow. That is why the Ganges River and the flow/Shiva are related. Scholars would argue "these stories are the product of the cult of Shiva taking over the older cults of the moon God and the river Goddess and so on" and scholars would probably argue that it was a "patriarchal takeover of the Father God Shiva who usupred Daksha and his daughters, and the Ganges River, and the Moon God, and the Sun God, and the God of Wisdom/Ganesha, and the God of War". But in my opinion, these myths are metaphors of the flow. In my opinion these myths can only be understood if you understand the flow, and that is why they have never been understood and clearly articulated before until now. Vishnu infinity Brahmas Vishnu and Indra
I will explain some more mythology through the lense of the flow. Scholars say that the "patriarchal Zeus" cult took over the "matriarchal Athena cult". They point out that Athena emerges from Zeus's head in the mythology, which they argue expresses Zeus being superior. I do not think that the myths are meant to be interpreted interperosnally. Athena represents wisdom. Zeus represents the flow. Athena/ wisdom emerges from the flow. The city of Athens comes from Athena. To create a city you need wisdom/ knowledge. But Zeus/ the flow is still primary.
There is a Greek story of a war. In the war Athena likes one of the fighters. This fighter must have knowledge/wisdom. The fighter falls in battle and Athena goes to get him a potion that can restore his health. But as Athena approaches the man his head is cut off, and she cannot save him. I think that this story represents the idea that knowledge/ ego experience based calculative thinking/Athena cannot save you, and can even get you destroyed. Knowledge/ calcualtive thinking is not the flow/ intution.
I listened to a lecture by Neville Goddard, and Goddard said that the story of the woman at the well who met Jesus was allegorical. He said the "woman had five husbands". He said the husbands represent the five senses. The woman takes the "living water" from Jesus. I think the living water is the flow/ transpersonal consciousness that transcends the senses/ experience based/ calculative ego thinking.
In the stories of Vishnu, Vishnu lays on top of a multi headed snake called Shesha. Shesha is on top of the ocean of bliss. Bliss is the flow/ transcendence of the ego/ intuition. Vishnu and Shiva are described as one. They are both the flow. Shiva is the flow that even the "wicked" can attain- the rain falls on the just and unjust. Vishnu is the flow that the righeous attain.
I once heard a man trying to talk about Judeo Christain religion, saying how "in Judeo Christian religion the snake is demonized, but in religions like the Hindu religion the snake is looked highly upon". That is not true. Even in Hindu religion the snake represents the ego. The snakes in Hindu religion live in the underwordl. Snakes tend to have predator prey software/ the snake is an animal that kills without eating its prey. It is true, it is not beneficial to "hate snakes"- everthing is one. But the snake represents the ego. Vishnu's conveyance is a bird/ Garuda, who eats snakes. Vishnu represents the transcendence of the ego/snake. I had another friend who is a Kriya Yoga follower, and he thought that the "rulers of the world" were repitlians, and he thought that Vishnu used the reptilians to rule the world, and he pointed to the fact that Vishnu lays on top of a snake. He asked me why I thought Vishnu lays on top of a snake. I told him that the conspiracy theory he has in my opinion is not accurate. He still has good guy bad guy dualistic ego software, and this software has lead him to bizarre intellectual explanations for reality. He is trying to find a "bad guy" to blame. But the problem is never people, but is dualstiic ego software. The snake does represent dualsitic ego software. Vishnu does lay on top of a snake, and it is clear to me that represents the transcnedence of the ego/ snake. Shesha, the snake that Vishnu lays on top of, is a "special snake", who noticed that his brother snakes were killers/ predator prey ego software, and as a result he went off into meditation and renoucned killing. As a result he became the snake that Vishnu layed on top of. Vishnu laying on top of Shesha represents the transcendence of the ego. Vishnu is the flow, which is the transcendence of the ego. Vishnu and Shiva are one- just Shiva is the flow that the wicked can access- that is why the Ganges river is in Shivas hair- the wicked can die to their old selves and be reborn to the flow/Shiva.
Yogananda pointed out that in John it says "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[g]
Yogananda said that the "lifting up of the snake" that John refers to is the raising of the kundalini snake energy. The snake represents the ego. By raising the snake, you transcend the ego. The transcendence of the ego is the flow, which is the timeless moment/ eternal life. The term "belief" is a mistranslation. It is more accurate to say "comprehend" and also, I pointed out that I heard a Christian scholar on a lecture in the biblical institue point out that in the bible when it says "believe in Jesus" the correct interpretation is "believe into Jesus". That is believe into the flow.
My Mexican friend who does Kriya Yoga believes that snakes rule the world/ reptilians, and that is why Vishnu lays on a snake. My Grandpa told me that "conspiracy theorizing is a form of breaking out of the box". Breaking out of the box is beneficial. Conformity is not the flow. But also non conformity is not the flow. When people break out of the box, they tend to make a new box. The new box is the conspiracy theory. And a conspiracy theory invovles no original thinking, but just different variations of the same old duasltiic ego thinking. My German friend is a big conspiracy theorist, and he thinks he has come up with "who is to blame" and who is the real problem and it usually always ends up in the same places/ Aliens, reptlians, or ethnic groups that they don't like. People or groups are never the problem- ego dualsitic software is the problem. Vishnu on the snake represents the transcendence of the ego.
There is a story in the Shiva Mahapuran of three demons who want to take over the demigods. The demigods are characters like Indra who represents the sky and thunder, and the sun God, and the Moon God, and the fire God and the wind God. The three demons get a boon after meditating. Their boon is that they can have three castles that will protect them until the opportune moment when they can overtake the demigods. One of the palaces is made of gold, the other is made of silver, and the third is made of iron. The demons desires for palaces represent an "immortality project"- a "homemade plan of salvation" the concern with the protectiona nd promotion of the ego self. The demons are ensured that "nobody can infiltrate these palaces".
When I think of a homemade plan of salvation I think of a basketball player who "has all his steps planned out and memorized". When I was considered one fo the best players in the nation and won a national championship, I had no idea what I was doing when I was playing. I had no steps planned out, I did not know how I shot the ball, I was just in the zone. I prepared a lot, and practiced all the time, but when I played I tried not to think. A homemade plan of salvatin is thinking/ ego strategies.
The demigods tell Shiva to kill the demons, but Shiva says that he cannot kill the demons so long as they worship him. Shiva cannot kill the demons becaus they are worshipping him in the castles.
Vishnu sends a sort of poltergeis/ servant into the castles to talk to the demons. The servant of Vishnu tells the demons "stop worshipping Shiva, just indulge your senses and your sense gratifications". The demons agree and stop worshippng Shiva. The servant should not have been able to get into the palaces, but he did because he was a sort of spirit and was "not really there". The reason the demons fell into ego gratification was they were focused on ego protection and promotio. Their original "worshipping of Shiva" was really a plan to protect and promote the ego self. It was not true worship/ self transcendecne/ the flow, but it was selfish. as a result, it was inevitable that they would fall into sense gratification and self indulgence. Then Shiva shoots an arrow at thier casltes and kills them. They were not in the flow. As Paul said "you cannot be saved by works". The Shiva worshippers were worshipping Shiva, thinking it will save them, but they had never transcended the ego and their worship was a form of self indulgence, and thus they were destroyed.

In the same manner, Krishan carries Govardhan Hill over his head to save the members of his village. People have not understood Krishna to represent the flow, so such stories have never really been understood. In the story of the raising of Govardhan Hill, Krishna carries the hill over  his head to save the villagers. The villagers had been worshippers of Indra, but Krishna told them to stop worshipping Indra. Indra was the storm God. The villagers worship of Indra represents the ego/ the desire for self protection/ self promotion, whereas worship of Krishna represnets inquriy/ the flow/ self transcendence. Indra becomes angry and sends a storm as punishment. But Krishna lifts the mountain to save the villagers. The villagers had transcended the ego selves to the flow/ Krishna, thus they were saved. Indra represents self proteciton and promotion, and Krishna represents self protection. Similalry Brahma bows to Krishna. Brahma is the creator God and feels arrogant for his creations. But Krishna shows Brahma that there are trillions of Brahmas, and he is not special. This story represents the transcendence of the ego to the flow, where Brahma then bows to Krishna. Indra then bows to Krishna/ the flow.
The Moonies say that the reason why Jesus was not allowed into the Inn was because there was suspicion that Jesus was the illegitimate son of Zecharias, Mary's cousin's husband. They say "of course there was room in the inn, but they were just told there was not room in in the inn. And what inn would not allow a pregnant Mother shelter that she would have to give birth in  a cave?" This would have made Jesus and John the Baptizer brothers from other Mothers. The Moonies say that the reason why Jesus was not allowed in the Inn, was the Inn was located close to wear John the Baptizer was from, and Mary had become pregnant while staying with Zecharias. I even heard a Muslim teacher say a Muslim story about how "Zecharias had given Mary fruit". This could be argued to have been sex. In the same manner, conspiracy theorists argue that Sarah became pregnant by Abimelech, when Abimelech took her captive- so her miraculous birth from "Abraham" was really a pregnancy by Abimelech. But it is argued by many that this is not true, and Isaac was miraculously conceived by Abraham and Sarah. There is even a conspiracy theory that David was the illegitimate son of a Philistine, and that is why his Father did not show him to the prophet Samuel, but Samuel chose David anyways.

I went to a different type of Church and the pastor described that the reason Jesus had so much knowledge, was because Mary's cousin was the wife of the high priest. The priests would intermarry, and so she said most likely, Jesus Dad was a priest/rabbi. So Jesus probably learned a lot under his Dad, if this is the case.
This is an intellectual explanation for the wisdom of Jesus. I listened to another pastor describe that in the Bible it describes that "Jesus had much wisdom" but it does not say where it came from. That pastor said, the reason why it intentionally does not say where Jesus wisdom came from, is the Bible was trying to express the idea that wisdom/ the flow does not come from the self- or anywhere- it is already there but is accessible to "those who have eyes to see"- and you only become aware of it through inspiraiton and intuition. The fact of the matter is, the Bible does not explicitlly say where Jesus wisdom came from. Jesus had sherpas, and did surround himself with higher water/ wisdom that raised his level of understanding. But ultimately, the idea that the pastor was trying to say is, Wisdom comes from God/ inspiration/ not the self, and that is why the Bible does not explicitly say where Jesus got his wisdom from- so it could not be rationalized as coming from any particular group or Guru or whatever. Some argue that Jesus went to India to gain his wisdom. Many people argue many things. But ultimately, the idea is, wisdom is eternal and ever present and open to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. But it is true that Gurus/ sherpas are important, because they serve a useful functioning in preparing one to get into the flow. Like somebody who shoots 100 shots before a basketball game is prepared to get in the flow.
My Grandpa taught me that there is a difference between preaching and teaching. My Grandpa taught me about Fritz Perls, a famous psychologist. Fritz Perls distinguished between chicken shit, bull shit, and elephant shit. Chicken shit is talking about nonessentials, such as gossip, and daily/ surface soap opera preoccupations. Chicken shit is a form of self confirmatory behavior, and a preoccupation with shallow surface matters. Chicken shit is engaging in shallow, surface, chit chat. Bull shit is "giving answers to questions to people who are not asking the relevant questions." Bull shit is teaching. When somebody teaches, he is giving information, and that information could be going to the ears of people who have not asked the appropriate questions to where the teaching can have a beneficial effect. Elephant shit is "wisdom spoken without understanding". Elephant shit is "preaching".
I will give an example of somebody who I know who was "preaching". My German friend and I were sitting at a table with my Grandpa, and he started talking about how "technology like cell phones are taking us away from friendships and relationships, and how it would be nice if people could just throw away their cell phones and start having conversations again". Wisdom is memorizing answers that have been revealed to others via intuition and inspiration. However, you have memorized that wisdom, but do not understand it, and you repeat it. My German friend would constantly say things in order to sound smart/ superior/ like he was wise/ superior inferior ego software. When he spoke it was not to impart true wisdom, but it was due to his desire to hear himself speak, and to make others think that he is wise.
I remember my Grandpa said that "cell phones and technology can be used in a beneficial manner, for instance, if somebody uses them to help him in his inquiry/ expansion of awareness/ Vishnu/ Tetragrammaton/ evolution/ self transcendence." My Grandpa said that a lot of "relationships" and "chit chat", "gossip"is more of a form of self confirmatory behavior, and somebody would be better off listening to his phone, listening to an audiobook, or studying scripture on his phone. My German friend had heard another speak "wisdom" about not using technology, but he did not understand the true meaning behind it. It is true that somebody can use his cell phone or technology for self confirmatory reasons. For instance, somebody can use it to distract himself with rock music/ entertainment/ self indulgence, or pornography. So my friend was regurgitating a statement wisdom/ or a wise statement, but he did not completely understand it; he had not discovered it for himself.
There is a Greek story of Icharus. Icarus's Dad gives his boy feathers to place on his wings in order to be able to fly/ be caught up in the flow. Flying, and walking on water, which is seen in the Gospels, represents the flow. Icharus Dad wants Icharus to escape from Crete. But he tells Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, or too low, or he will crash. Icarus flies too close to the sun, and he crashes and dies. The story is a metaphor of flying with somebody elses feathers. This means hitchhiking on other peoples discoveries. My Grandpa told me that people need to discover things for themselves, and not just memorize other peoples discoveries, otherwise they have no lasting benefit. Borrowing his Dad's feathers represented hitchiking on anothers discoveries.
In the story of Peter walking on water, Peter is in the flow. But Peter thinks about it- he is brought back into ego calculative experience based thinking. As a result, he sinks. Jesus does not sink because he is perpetually in the flow. Peter sees the wind and becomes scared and sinks. Peter's fear was him being brought back into the ego body, where he was trying to "figure out how to make it happen". Peter started “thinking”. When you are in the flow you transcend thinking.
My Grandpa told me that the parable of the ten Virgins, and the candles is a parable illustraing the necessity for being prepared to be caught up in the flow. Five of the virgins did not have oil, and five did. The five who had oil had their lamps ready. They were prepared to be caught up in the flow/ oneness/ transcendence of the ego/ eternal life. The ones who were not prepared say "Lord Lord" to Jesus. Jesus says "not everyone who says to me "Lord Lord" will enter the kingdom". Some will say it from a position of inquiry and receptivity/ persistance and determination, but others will say it from a standpoint of being pious and deferential/ the ego.
When Jesus says to "turn the other cheek", my Grandpa said that this means "turn the cheek to a higher attitude/ transpersonal consciousness". My Grandpa said that Jesus gave "no formulas"- but he fulfilled the law. The fulfilling of the law is transrational/ inspiration/ intuition/ the flow. Jesus did not literally give a formula to "turn the other cheek". The Jews said "an eye for an eye". This meant a formula to give equal compensation for something. For instance, if somebody stole a bike, he would have to repay the equivalent of the Bike. Wink describes that Jesus meant to "turn the left cheek also", meaning, not to allow yourself to be humliated. In ancient culture, being hit on the right cheek was a form of humiliation, so turning the left was asserting yourself. My Grandpa said that if "turning your left cheek emerges from inspiration/ intuiotn/ the flow" to help break the person who hit you out of his dualisitc ego software then it would be effective. For instance, Jesus wrote in the sand, breaking free of dualsitic ego software and interpersonal conflict, and through inspiraiton said "he who is without sin cast the first  stone". This helped to break the people out of dualsitic ego software. Jesus says to "give your coat" if they sue you for a tunic. Wink again views this as an act of defiance, to try to shame the person suing you, by making him feel bad for you, and thus help the person to break out of his top dog underdog dualstiic ego software. But "passive aggressiveness" is still defiance, and Jesus says "do not defy". The only way to not defy is to be in the flow/ inspiraiton/ intuition. In the flow you are not "defying", or being inferior to be superior/ passive aggressive- which is a form of definace. In the flow there is no formula. You are not acting, but a higher power is acting through you. Wink says to give your coat would "make you naked". Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden were "naked". Being naked represents "pure awareness/ the flow/ not having your awareness clothed". Jesus perhaps is saying "act out of the flow/ pure awareness- give him your coat- be naked- return to pure awareness". He is not literally saying to give the person suing you your coat. My Grandpa told me that "Jesus is not giving any formulas". Jesus is not saying "walk two miles instead of one and you will be saved". That is an ego strategy formula. If you are doing something because you think you will be saved by doing it, then you are acting out of the ego, and you are not saved. Jesus telling the people to "walk two miles" might be him saying "the ego body is not important/ transcend the ego body to the flow/ pure awareness". Jesus is saying to transcend all formulas. "An eye for an eye" is a formula and a concession. It was actually a a concession to take an eye for an eye in order to help protect people from dualsitic ego software. For isntance, somebody would lose an eye and he would kill the person who took his eye. An eye for an eye at least limits the amount of retaliation the guy can do. However, an eye for an eye is a formula, and a formula is not the flow/ pure awareness/ inspiration. In pure awareness you might kill somebody. There is no formula in pure awareness. Parashurama was an avatar of Vishnu and he killed people- yet he was in pure awareness. Parashuramas teacher tells Parashurama he should not have killed, even though Parashurama only killed in self defense. But then the teacher is beheaded by the tribe that Parahsurama fought that stole the sacred cow. But Parashurama brings the teacher back to life. The teacher was corrrect, violence comes from the ego most of the time, and violence is not to be encouraged. But Parashurama did not act out fo the ego, but was in pure awareness. Donald Trump when he yelled at the lady saying "thats a stupid question" was not acting out of inspiraiton/ intution, but was acting out of impulse/ the ego. There is a difference between impulse/ ego and pure awareness/ intuition. But it is possible, like in the case of Parashurama to kill out of intution/ inspiration. My Grandpa told me that Jesus said he "came to fulfill the law". You cannot be saved by "following the law", and "literally turning your other cheek if you are hit" is just another law. If people start "turning the other cheek" memorizing a formula given to them by Jesus in order to "be saved"- they are still selfish and acting out of the ego and they have missed the point. Jesus was not giving a new law that you had to follow. Paul says "you cannot be saved by works". Jesus was just giving a metaphor for intuiton/ inspiraiton/ the flow, which is the fulfillment of the law, according to my Grandpa. Jesus was saying "transcend the ego body/ dualsitic consciosuenss to the flow/ pure awareness. If people are immature they need laws to tell them what to do. The ten commandments were necessary to give as a concession. But once somebody has attained transcendental consciousness/ pure awareness/ is in the flow, he does not need laws- the law is fulfilled in him. Many people "follow laws" thinking this will save them. Laws are important and if followed as rituals can be very beneficial. But if they are followed so that "you can be saved"/ for selfish reasons, then that is not the flow, and the ego/ selfishness is what brings "problems in the first place. Once somebody has attained the flow/ "the fulfillment of the law", he does not need laws. Jesus

If somebody is a "passive victim" turning the other cheek so that people will feel sorry for him/ so that he can feel superior by being inferior, then this is not the flow. But also Jesus did not teach to "fight back"- which is still duasltiic ego software. Jesus did not teach any formula- but taught to be open and receptive to inspiration/ intuition/ the flow.
I think that I plan to end this book just by describing the revolutionary theory that I discovered on Kaui in 2013, that demonstrates that the gospels are analogues to the stories of the Israelites of the Old Testament. I plan to be brief in this theory From my research, it is clear that Jesus in the New Testament represents the God of the Old Testament/ tetragrammaton. I am the first person to discover the parallels throughout. Although I have heard others note parallels, I have not seen anybody connect it all together as I did in 2013.
I will make it very brief, but I could go into way more detail.
I told you all at the beginning of this book that the first time I started reading the Bible was in 2009-2010 my Freshman/ Sophomore year of college.
In 2011 I was walking to a class and a Korean man came to me and told me to check out his Church. His Church was started by Pastor Joshua Jung. I started attending the Church regularly. Many people denigrade this Church, and say that it is a cult, since the Pastor claims to be the Messiah, and is currently in jail, but I learned a lot from the Church. I found that for the most part, places that are called "cults" have the best information, whereas mainstream Churchs and popular Churchs, and even popular Churchs that are called cults like the Mormons do not have that interesting information. People call Mormons or J Witnesses or Christian Scientists members of cults, but really they are mainstream. If you want to get the really deep stuff, I discovered, you have to go to the places where "most people are afraid to go".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Providence_(religious_movement)
This Church taught me that "everything in the Bible was allegorical.” For instance, they said that when Peter was fishing and could not catch any fish, but threw his net on the right side and caught many fish, this was an allegory of Peter gaining many disciples. In 2010 I first started reading the Bible with my Grandpa, and my Grandpa taught me that "when Jesus threw the net on the right side, that is a metaphor of a transformaton in consciousness. First they are trying on the left, and it does not work. Then they transform their consciousness and throw the net on the right and it works".
So in from 2010-2013 I not only read the Bible everyday with my Grandpa, but I also went to many Church's, including Providence. I had never read the Bible before, and the first time I had ever been to Church was in college, and I wanted to understand the Bible. The Providence Church taught me "in the Bible it says that fish are people. When Peter catches many fish, this is merely a metaphor of Peter gaining many disciples." (The Hare Krishna would like this interpretation being that they are vegetarians and like to believe that Jesus and his discipes were as well) They told me "the story where a coin is taken from a fishes mouth is merely a metaphor of Jesus human followers giving Jesus tithes". The Providence Church told me "when Jesus said that with faith you can move a mountain, this is a metaphor of 'moving rulers' because in the Bible it says that 'mountains are rulers'". They told me that "When Jesus said that the 'son of man will come in the clouds' the clouds is a metaphor of witnesses, because in the bible it says 'clouds are witnesses'". So they claimed that Pastor Joshua, their Messiah, was the messiah, and he had "many witnesses" fulfilling the prophecy that he had "come in the clouds". I can go on and on, but Providence Church told me metaphorical meanings of passages throughout the Bible- they said the whole New Testament and Bible was just full of metaphors, and they claimed that their Messiah, Pastor Joshua, had deciphered it for them.
Studying with Providence, I gained a very strong capacity for deciphering hidden meanings in the Bible. My capacity became so great that I started finding meanings in the Bible that the Providence Church did not teach, and I even deciphered that the New Testament was an analogue of the Old Testament, something never before discovered until I discovered it in 2013. I was already always good at metaphorical thinking. I have synesthesia, where I can see the color of numbers and peoples names. Psychologists have found that people with synestheisa tend to be "far better than normal peopl at metaphorical thinking". I think that my studying with Providence Church, coupled with my inclination towards metaphorical thinking which I already naturally had, allowed me to discover what I discovered in the Bible.
While I was in Kauai I continued to study the Bible. I started reading the Bible for the first time in 2010. I finished the whole Bible in 2013. And while living on Kauai in 2013 I discovered that Jesus does represent the God of Israel in the Bible, and the story of Jesus is an analogue of the old testament. I will explain briefly.
I recall in 2013, wondering to myself "what does it mean when Jesus took the demons out of the pig and made the pigs get swallowed by water". I started to search online to find the meaning. I came across somebody who wrote "I have heard that the pigs being swallowed by water might be a jab at the Romans. The Jews called the Romans pigs". I thought this was very interesting when I read this. Then I went to a seventh day adventist Church on Kauai. I described that before 2013, I did not even know what a seventh day adventist Church was. Growing up I had never been to a Church. The first time I had ever been to a seventh day adventist Church was in 2013 on Kauai. I did not even know such a thing existed, and only came across it because it was next to where I was living in Kauai.
At the seventh day adventist Church, the pastor said "I don't think its a coincidence that Jesus multiplies the bread after he crosses the river, because the God of Israel brings down Manna from Heaven after the Israelites cross the read sea, and Jesus is the God of Israel, and the multiplying of bread relates to the bringing down of Manna from heaven".
And that was when it hit me. I realized that after the Israelites cross the Reed Sea, the Egyptians are swallowed by water. And after Jesus crosses the river, the demons go out of Legion and into the pigs and the pigs are swallowed by water. I realized that the pigs being swallowed by water was a metaphor of the Roman Legions being swallowed by water. That was why Legion was named Legion. And the person online was correct, the Israelites did call the Romans pigs. It was clear to me that the New Testament was an allegory of the exodus.
I knew I had discovered something big, and it was something never discovered before. In fact, there was one historian who claimed that the New Testament was an allegory, but he argued the opposite, that it was an allegory of the Roman army defeating the Jews. But I recognized the opposite. I then noticed that "Jesus turned water to wine" before he crossed the river. I recognized that the turning the water to wine was related to the God of Israel turning the river to blood. Wine in the Bible was called blood. I was not the first person to notice the parallel between turning water to wine and God turning the Nile blood red. But I'm the first person to connect all of it.
After the Israelites crossed the Read sea, the tetragrammaton brings down manna from heaven. After Jesus stops the wind like the God of Israel stops the wind in the Old Testament, and they cross the river, Jesus multiplies bread- a representation of bringing down manna from heaven.
I realized that Jesus really was a represenation of the God of Israel, and I was the first person to recognize this in 2013. I made a big deal about this in 2013 and made videos on it and posted a lot on it on Facebook and talked a lot about it. Then in 2013 I recognized that the Israelites meet Rahab, the Cannanite prostitute, and she helps them to destroy Jericho. She helps them if they will "keep her family alive". Similarly, Jesus then meets the Cannanite woman, and he heals her daughter. I recognized that Jesus sermon on the mount corresponded to the receiving of the ten commandments. The New Testament was an exact analogue of the Old Testament, with Jesus as the tetragrammaton/God of Israel.
I was the first person to recognize that. I think I plan to end this book on that note. But I also want to end the book pointing out that I have heard Catholics say that there is no contradiction in the Quran and the Bible. I have heard Catholic scholars say that the Quran just "denies a misunderstanding of the Trinity", a misunderstanding that Mary was a part of it, but they say that the Quran never denies the trinity as the Catholics see it. I have heard Ishmaeli Muslims say that the Quran does not deny the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, but when the Quran says "Jesus did not die when he was crucified" it was a mystical statement, saying that the "True eternal self never dies" but the false self dies. I have heard Catholic scholars say that when Muhammad says "Allah does not beget nor was he begotten" that the Quran was not saying that Jesus was not God, but was just saying that Allah did not have sex. They say that the Quran does not contradict the Bible, but if you look at the context of the Quran, Muhammad was just saying the misinterpretation that Allah had sex- but the Quran does not contradcit the Bible because what the Quran was just trying to say was that "Allah did not beget through sex"- which the Bible agrees with. These are serious Catholic scholars who say there is literally no contradiction between the Quran and the Bible, despite what most people think, that if you look at the context of the things written in the Quran, Muhammad actually agreed with the Catholic doctrine. I have heard serious Hindu scholars say that there is no contradiction between the Quran and the Bible and the Vedas. They say when Allah says We, that is a reference to Vishnu and Shiva and Jesus- which they say is the trinity of the Bible. I have heard these Hindus say that the idea of a multiverse does not contradict the Bible or Quran. They say that Adam and Eve were not the first people, but the first "White people", or they make other claims like that. I have even heard Rabbis say that Adam and Eve were not the first people. I have heard Orthodox Rabbis say that in Genesis, there were "mutliverses" before the creation. When it says "in the Beginning God created", I have heard Orthodox Rabbis say that is a mistranslation, and it really means "with wisdom God created", and there were Universes before Genesis. Beresheit can mean "in the beginning" but it can also mean "with wisdom". The Enuma Elish begins "with wisdom the Gods created". The Bible says "Elohim" which is plural Gods. Similalry in the Quran, Allah says "We", not I. But I have heard Hindus say that still Vishnu and Shiva are not really two Gods, but they are one.
All I am saying is, I have heard people make cogent arguments that there is literally no contradictions between any of the holy scriptures.
The question to be asked is "why would Jesus be a representation of the God of Israel". The Bible says "Christ is in all and through all". If Christ is one with God, that means you are also one with God. Maybe the Bible is trying to say that there is no separation between you and the divine. My Grandpa told me that "human beings are not human beings, but beings being human". My Grandpa told me that Jacobs ladder represents the oneness/ connection between the divine and the world- my Grandpa said there is no "holidays"- every day is a "holy day"- there is no time. Some people talk about "being dehumanized". But my Grandpa told me there is no humans. Shiva in the Shiva Mahapuran says "I was never born and I have no ancestry" when he is asked who his ancestors were and when he was born. I have heard mystics say in a mystical sense, this is true for everybody and everything- in a mystical sense nobody was ever born- nobody has any ancestry. In the flow you do not exist- you are pure awareness. The belief in a "separate God" is dualistic ego consciousness. But as the Sikhs say "it is not that there is One God- there is only One, period".
However, the problem with "believing" that is when you believe something you create "right v wrong dualsitic ego software"- where you memorize that and anybody who disagrees is wrong. But if you memorize something, and you do not know it through inspiration- it is just "bull shit" that you are regurgitating- memorized beliefs. My Grandpa said that in pure awareness you do not memorize or hold onto anything. If you say "we are one" to be superior, and "sound wise" then that is the ego. So it might be best to not say anything at all.

The trimurti in Hinduism is sometimes referred to by HIndus as the trinity of the Hindus. But the trimurti also becomes a quaternity in Hinduism. I have seen different examples for the transcendent fourth. I have read a book that described that the trimurti was a quaternity when the Mother Goddess was added. Another example is, those who worship Surya, the Sun God, see Surya as the transcendent fourth part of the trimurti. For the Surya worshippers, Surya encompasses the previous three deities in the trimurti. They say that the other three Gods are manifestations of Surya

Surely, if I had known them, I should have taught them to you. I will not lie, for he who lies perishes, root and all.”” The prince silently mounted his chariot and went away. So now I ask of thee, Where is the Self?’” (Prashna Upanishad 6:1).

Bramacharya- focused on education. The first square is related to the idealist temperament. Idealists are mental and concerned with education. 0-24
Vanaprastha- 48- 72. This is the retirement stage. The individual is now less concerned with the family and more with preparing for Moksha. The artisan temperament is related with the third stage. The artisan is more of an individual and less concerned with community and family
Grihastha- the Grihastha stage is concerned with family and married life. The second square is related to homeostasis and relationships 24-48

According to many Hindus, like the Hare Krishna, Krishna originally had two quadruple expansions. According to these Hindus, Krishna is the supreme God. The two quadruple expansions are similar to the gnostic notion that in the beginning was two tetrads.
https://www.facebook.com/Knowyourgod/posts/501900056583733:0
First quadruple expansion
Karanadakashayi Vishnu [Maha-Vishnu]
Kshirodakashayi Vishnu [the Supersoul in each individual]
Garbhodakashayi Vishnu [the expansion in each universe]
Sesha, also called Seshanaga
These four create the material cosmic manifestation.
Krishna then expands himself into four forms. These four forms experience pastimes in Vrindavan. When studying Hare Krishna I would watch cartoons on the pastimes of Krishna. The cartoons consisted of these four characters, who are four forms of Krishna.
Krishna
Pradyumna
Balarama
Aniruddha
The second quadruple expansion are present in the infinite vaikuntha planets
Vasudeva- expansion of Krishna
Pradyumna
Sankarshana- representation of Balarama

The Vedic Priesthood consists of 16 members in four groups of four. Four groups of four is the quadrant model. The 16 members are four chief priests and their assistants.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_priesthood
The hotṛ was the reciter of invocations and litanies. These could consist of single verses (ṛca), strophes (triples called tṛca or pairs called pragātha), or entire hymns (sukta), drawn from the ṛgveda. As each phase of the ritual required an invocation, the hotṛ had a leading or presiding role.[citation needed]
The udgātṛ was a chanter of hymns set to melodies (sāman) drawn from the sāmaveda. This was a specialized role in the major soma sacrifices: a characteristic function of the udgātṛ was to sing hymns in praise of the invigorating properties of soma pavamāna, the freshly pressed juice of the soma plant.[citation needed]
The adhvaryu was in charge of the physical details of the sacrifice (in particular the adhvara, a term for the Somayajna). According to Monier-Williams, the adhvaryu "had to measure the ground, to build the altar, to prepare the sacrificial vessels, to fetch wood and water, to light the fire, to bring the animal and immolate it," among other duties.[citation needed] Each action was accompanied by supplicative or benedictive formulas (yajus), drawn from the yajurveda. Over time, the role of the adhvaryugrew in importance, and many verses of the ṛgveda were incorporated, either intact or adapted, into the texts of the yajurveda.[citation needed]
The brahman was the reciter of hymns from the atharvaveda who was largely silent and observes the procedures and uses Atharvaveda mantras to 'heal' it when mistakes have been made.
With the hotṛ:
the maitrāvaruna
the acchāvāka
the grāvastut (praising the Soma stones)
With the udgātṛ:
the prastotṛ (who chants the Prastâva)
the pratihartṛ ("averter")
the subrahmanya
With the adhvaryu:
the pratiprasthātṛ
the neṣṭṛ
the unnetṛ (who pours the Soma juice into the receptacles )
With the brahman:
the brāhmanācchamsin
the agnīdh (priest who kindles the sacred fire)
the potṛ ("purifier")
The Hindus have a four caste system
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_system_in_India
Brahmins (priestly people)- mental. The first square is mental and good.
Vaishyas (artisans, merchants, tradesmen and farmers)- These are the doers.
Kshatriyas (also called Rajanyas, who were rulers, administrators and warriors). Homeostasis. The second square maintains order and structure. Rulers and administrators organize and order. Warriors protect.
Shudras (labouring classes).
The fourth caste was seen as different
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/twice-born
The three upper orders were “distinguished from the shudras”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvija
The Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, and the Vishyas are considered “twice born” but the shudras are not.
http://eighttwosix.blogspot.com/2010/03/indias-caste-system-socially-useful.html
Again the quadrant pattern in the caste system is fulfilled in that the first three castes are different from the fourth. Hindus say that they have a four caste system. There is a fifth element that is so different that it is not even really considered a caste. The fifth is always questionable and ultra transcendent. I described how Empedocles said that fire is the fourth different element. But fire still associates with air, water and Earth. The fifth, ultra transcendent element, aether, does not even interact with the first four. It is not even connected. The same holds true for the untouchables.
Ramakrishna had a teaching about four wise men and an elephant. The four wise men touched different parts of the elephant, and thought the elephant was the aspect they touched. Ramakrishna says that religion is like the elephant, and different religions understand a different part of the whole
One touched the leg of the elephant, and said, "The elephant is like a pillar."
The third touched the belly, and said, "The elephant is like a big jar."
The second touched the trunk, and said, "The elephant is like a thick stick or club."

delight in controlling passion
natural pleasure
blissfulness in concentration

Square breathing involves inhaling for four seconds, holding for four seconds, exhaling for four seconds, and then holding the breath out for four seconds and continuing. I attended a meditation event where the instructor had the class do square breathing some time last year. I did not even realize that what we were doing was quadrant oriented, until I looked it up afterwards and realized that the four components of the breath was a quadrant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashtakam
The stanzas in an "ashtakam" are a rhyming quartet with four lines, i.e. end lines rhyme as a-a-a-a. Thus, in an ashtakam generally thirty-two lines are maintained. All these stanzas follow a strict rhyme scheme. The proper rhyme scheme for an astakam is: a-a-a-a/b-b-b-b….. (/ represents a new stanza).
The conventions associated with the ashtakam have evolved over its literary history of more than 2500 years. One of the best known ashtakam writers was Adi Sankaracharya, who created an ashtakam cycle with a group of ashtakams, arranged to address a particular deity, and designed to be read both as a collection of fully realized individual poems and as a single poetic work comprising all the individual ashtakams. He wrote more than thirty astakams in stuti [dedication] to various deities.
64 is four 16s.

The Brahma Padas, in the center, is a quadrant. There are four padas, the Brahma, the Devika, the Manusha, and the Paisachika.
The 9x9 layout still has four padas, but it extends the Brahma Padas.
The 9x9 (81) grid ‘’Parama Sayika’’ layout plan (above) found in large ceremonial Hindu Temples.

King Vajra then had 16 idols of Krishna and other gods carved from a rare, imperishable stone called Braja and built temples to house these idols in and around Mathura so as to feel the presence of Lord Krishna. The four presiding idols of Braja Mandala are Sri Harideva of Govardhan, Sri Keshava Deva of Mathura, Sri Baladeva of Baladeo, and Govindaji of Vrindavan. There are two Naths—Sri Nathji, who were originally at Govardhan and are now in Nathdwara, Rajasthan and Sri Gopinath, who is now in Jaipur. The two Gopals are Sri Madana Mohan, who is now housed at Karoli Rajasthan, and Sakshi Gopal, who is now moved to town of Sakshi Gopal, Orissa, near Puri. There are 16 squares in the quadrant model.
The show Information Please would have a transcendent fourth guest panelist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Please
Panel regulars included writer-actor-pianist Oscar Levant and newspaper columnists and renowned wits and intellectuals Franklin P. Adams and John Kieran. All the panelists were well-versed in a wide range of topics, though each had a specialty. Music and filmquestions were often addressed to Levant. Adams was well known for his mastery of poetry, popular culture and Gilbert and Sullivan. Kieran was an expert in natural history, sports and literature. A typical question would have three or four parts and would require the panelists to get a majority of the questions right, lest they lose the prize money.
The show would always have a fourth guest panelist, usually either a celebrity, a politician or writer. Guest panelists included Fred Allen, Leonard Bernstein, Boris Karloff, Clare Boothe Luce, Dorothy Parker, S. J. Perelman, Sigmund Spaeth, Rex Stout, Jan Struther, Deems Taylor, Jackie Robinson, Alexander Woollcott, George S. Kaufman, Ruth Gordon, Orson Welles, Basil Rathboneand a very young Myron "Mike" Wallace.
A variation of Information Please, this time a program devoted exclusively to music with the same four-member panel format, became popular when it was televised in Los Angeles in 1953. After two years of local success, Musical Chairs became a summer replacement series on NBC Television. The Bill Leyden-hosted game show lasted eleven weeks on the national airwaves.

To relive the blocked energies, centre of existence need to be balanced for well-being and better life. Our living place consists of five elements. Space which is the most important of all the five elements.
Air is governing element of North-west corner while fire is assigned the South-east because of its aggressive nature. Water is an element of North-east and earth is assigned with South-west. Likewise the human body is a crafted frame having an order of five elements called chakras which is balanced by external elements. The elements of living place need to be balanced akin we balance body’s elements with external material such as food and meditation.
Vastu Energy Balance Imbalance of elements can be corrected by the most subtle & higher element- space while defects in native place can be balanced or rectified using Vastu tools like wind chimes, energy pyramid and crystals. These Vastu tools helps rectifying negative energies and try subtle the ambience with positive prana. Body prana can be instilled by correcting chakras that are responsible for our day to day functions. In such way external prana of cosmos or dwelling place have to make lively by creating balance with energy elements of Vastu.

A mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल, literally "circle") is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe.[1] In common use, "mandala" has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.
The basic form of most mandalas is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point. Each gate is in the general shape of a T. Mandalas often exhibit radial balance.
