total security

Posted on Jul 22nd, 2007 by rashthawani
today i want to discuss a very important point
that i will call the possibility of total security
being completely unafraid and uninhibited
completely at ease

firstly i would like us to look at
how much of our lives are determined by these fears of all sorts

it would be well if for a week or two
we simply monitored the occurence of fearfulness in ourselves

no particular need to judge fear one way or the other
just see it
be aware of it

if one were to write some of it down this would be extraordinarily well

and my point is what do we really accomplish by this fearfulness

is it not useless

what is it you are afraid is going to happen to you

ask yourself that question
what is it really that i am afraid is going to happen to me

fear can be considered an emotion
it is to be considered a negative emotion

are we not often fearful of things that are not likely to happen
or that cannot happen
or that do not turn out to happen at all

fear is just an emotion
and it is a fallible one

just as our thots are not always correct
so certain emotions as well can be misleading

how to be free of fear

one way is to understand that fear is just a feeling
it should not be used to allow us the dubious luxury of wrong action

what do i mean by this
i mean that no matter what you may feel in terms of fear
hold to the path of right action in spite of it

this is a way to begin

i feel the fear
i notice it
i know that it is there
and i recognize something of its nature
but i will not allow it to drive me into wrong action
i will hold to right action in spite of it

there are other ways to deal with fear

i have a stronger foolproof method
but i will hold that discussion for possibly later

i  will only say now that this socalled foolproof method
is based on the fact that the universe is intelligent and therefore compassionate
and would never let any real harm come to the manifold entities

i will say no more at this point
since this method is more challenging
and not so easy to grasp

you will find serenity and you will know peace

meditation

Posted on Jul 17th, 2007 by rashthawani
so let us assume that one has managed
to find ways to keep oneself occupied or engaged

and that one has found a way
to satisfactorily find comfort in the company of other humans

after a while of practicing and using these two points
one may find oneself becoming more and more sane

more and more centered grounded at ease

when ones emotional state has been stabilized in this way
further progress can be made by practicing a proper meditation technique

i will describe one such technique

it was conceived by myself
tho much has also been borrowed from elsewhere

tho i do not presume to speak for them
the zen buddhists have called this technique just sitting

they call it this for good reason
just sitting is exactly what it is

what can one expect if one just sits
one can expect that one will be just sitting

in other words no expectations is a key phrase here

i said progress could be made in this way
and it can
but it is only a possibility
it is by no means guaranteed

if one cannot be satisfied with just sitting
then one should either not just sit
or just sit until one can be satisfied with just sitting

other expectaions destroy ones chances

please try this

sit comfortably down somewhere

external distractions may be limited
but this is not wholly necessary

typically the eyes are closed but neither is this a firm requirement

now simply sit still

any instinctive type movements such as breathing or coughing are allowed

natural movements
movements for the sake of comfort
are allowed

the point is not to see how still you can be
this is not the point at all

we simply want to sit quite still
the point being that one is not doing anything at all
one is not engaged 
one is not active
one is unoccupied

now about thots
simply disregard them

care not one way or the other
whether thots are there or not

this meditation has nothing to do with thot
one way or the other

thinking is absolutely allowed but not required

practice this until your intuition tells you it is enuff

even one minute may be enuff

its foolish to do it too much
you can do it alot if you like
but dont do it too much

lao tze has said
there is nothing like knowing what is enuff

when the inner voice tells you to stop just sitting and again become active
do so

love

human interaction

Posted on Jul 13th, 2007 by rashthawani
i have said that the first requisite for living well or living to the maximum
is the condition of remaining engaged occupied or active

and the second requisite is that of human interaction

without going fully into these two we cannot realize our maximum potential

i would now like to say something
about this phenomenon of human interaction
human contact or human companionship

it is really quite simple to formulate
under what conditions this interaction can successfully occur

in this regard the socalled golden rule makes a nice starting point

let us say that one can always successfully interact with others
if one affords to them the same treatment
that one allows that they should afford to oneself

this i may call the principle of fairness

it is a simple and effective moral code

beginning with a simple moral code
we come to the phenomenon of conscience
which is of critical importance
and which is what we are actually talking about here

let me in all my dealings with others
be guided by this special positive emotion called conscience

and let me as well develop this conscience
to finer and finer levels of function

this alone can provide for successful fulfilling interactions with others

and this covers every level of intimacy
from driving down the highway full of cars
to sublime sexual intercourse
to meditative oneness

it is all based on the simple principle
that there are universally recognized ways of properly treating people
and these apply equally to every being including the being i call myself

so here is all you really need to know
to begin and continue the adventure of interacting well with others

this is the second point in becoming sane living well growing spiritually
and eventually realizing ones potential in full

if all this interests you
i am still offering free one to one univeric counseling
and welcome your contact

love

univeric counseling begins

Posted on Jul 8th, 2007 by rashthawani
what occurs to me first of all
is how we live as humans
and specifically how we live well
that is to say how do we live with maximum sanity

in this regard two points of contact come to mind

firstly is an issue which i may call engagement

this may also be called remaining occupied or remaining active

and this may take many forms

it is very good for insanity
if you can get the person to engage in some activity

as i said this may take many forms

for instance watching tv may be quite a positive activity
if one does it with at least a minimum of mindfulness

on the other hand
if one just sits in front of it dull and  bored
it may mean nothing

the point is not which activity we choose

thinking alone may be quite a good thing to engage in
if we think with a little bit of direction and energy

physical activities are fine but there are also many other possibilities

for instance writing or painting or playing music

simply watching the sun set
one can find oneself engaged

so this is the first point
engagement

then the second point is the companionship of other humans

these two things can help the insane very much
one might say they are indispensible for increasing sanity
for living well

this second point of human interaction
i plan to make a separate blog entry for

i have decided to blog again

Posted on Jul 7th, 2007 by rashthawani
i am currently offering what i call univeric counseling for free

there are no strings attached
either party may discontinue at any time

in univeric counseling one is to exahaust all of ones possibilities
this means one goes as far as one possibly can
toward what i will call perfection

we may say that this will be the perfecting of a given individual

anyone and everyone is invited to contact me regarding this matter

all questions or comments are welcomed

if you would like to become a client we can give it a try

changing the world again

Posted on Oct 14th, 2006 by rashthawani
i am who i am

thats not going to change

i am the world

the world is not going to change

the world is eternal and unchanging

if someone could just live with that it would be a big change
   however it would not really be a change
   because have we not always been living with the world exactly as it is

when did the world ever not change

but then i want to change it in a particular way

who am i

who am i to presume this

im not against zaadz and her mission
   im just urging that we get real about it

why assume from the beginning that changing the world would be good
   what if the world is already changed

when will this insanity stop

once the world changes youll just want to change it again

come to a full stop
   then the world is changed already
