Write-up Emotions and Social Behaviour

 1

Rasa is essentially indivisible. However the variations that we characterize as the nine sentiments are like beams of different colors. That is, rasa, is a unique entity colored in different way. Man has an inner life and an outer life as well. These two lives are interactive.

Raudra(Anger): Some higher animals like lion, Tiger, elephant, Bull, etc share this faculty with the human being. Violence and conflict are the natural outcome of this. Anger is a basic emotion that all of us live with. Anger burns through us like a forest fire, reducing our mental and emotional balance to cinders for the moment. Anger can be transformed into a creative impulse. Once we become aware of it, it is there for us to use as powerful energy for change—both inner and outer.

Bhayanak (Terror): Bhayanak Rasa creates a state of mind in which a person finds himself in a fit of shock and puzzle. Anything terrible or horrific either in material world or nature can cause this Rasa to leak out. Fear locks itself into our energy and weighs us down to negative notions and behavior patterns. Of all negative emotions, fear can be the most unbearable, for it imprisons us into the smallest part of ourselves. Fears can be negative self-scripts relating a certain activity, behavior or event with suffering. 

Each thought is a link in an endless chain of causes and effects, each effect becoming a cause and each cause having been an effect; and each link in the endless chain is welded out of three components—desire, thought and activity. Thoughts are things, Sound, touch, form, taste and odor, the five sheaths, the waking, the dreaming and deep sleep states—all these are the products of mind. Sankalpa, passion, anger, bondage, time—know them to be the result of mind. Mind is the king of the Indriyas or senses. Thought is the root of all mental process. our life energy, our prana or Shakti is held. Suppressing emotion is like suppressing life. It causes death. But expressing raw emotion at an ego level is also destructive and disintegrating. perception of death seems to be closely related to the perception of fear. Death is a natural part of life, which we will all surely have to face sooner or later. To my mind, there are two ways we can deal with it while we are alive. We can either choose to ignore it or we can confront the prospect of our own death and, by thinking clearly about it, people today deny death most of the world lives either in denial of death or in terror of it. He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present.

Shringara is considered the king. This is partly because shringara is the rasa of love, and love is an emotion that can be conveyed in an infinite variety of ways.

It is the only emotion that makes human beings forgets the primacy of their own well being. Love makes people strive beyond their physical strength. It can make a person fearless, immeasurably strong, patient, wise and foolhardy too. it is sometimes used as a metaphor for the longing of the mortal for the immortal, the union of human with divine. Shringara rasa is often found mention in all sorts of discipline. There is the idea of sixteen sringara for the bride which can evoke the delight in the groom. Shringara Sadhana is to observe cleanliness and the aesthetic sense in our body. Such Sadhana may not bring any high powers, but it certainly will increase our happiness and the quality of our relationships with others, the true bhakti. Everything is God and God is Love and Beauty.

Erotic love is the fount of creation—it is the energy that gives birth to the world and therefore holds great power within itself. Beauty is that which attracts the mind or appeals to a particular penchant of the mind. That is love; love is not just Rati the amorous attitude. love and social attachments function to facilitate Over the years the patterns of beauty (saundarya, shringara) have evolved in tune with the modern concepts of physical and spiritual standards. It is the eye of the patron and the demands of society that have shaped the notions of beauty over the years.

2.

Shringara means love and beauty. This is the emotion which represents the human mind and its beauty and ultimately ends evoking love. It is a passion shared by all creatures from the meanest to the noblest. Any art without a Rasa is incomplete.

True Love and true Beauty are found on the inside of the beloved and are everlasting. If a person can see the divine in his or her beloved, then that Love will always remain. Shringara Sadhana means for a period of time we are ever elegant, nice, sweet spoken, tender, and loving in deed, word, and thought. Means, that not only most of all enemy Rasas be kept out of our mind, but also that we should be completely focused on universal Love and Beauty only. This is not a matter of rationalization, but of true feeling. In Shringara, Love is not between a man and a woman. Love came into the darkness; it awakened all that lay there asleep; it whispered, opening the ears that were sealed: 'There is something worth waking to, worth living for, and it is love!' And with the awakening to love there entered into the world the possibility of coming back to the Divine. A character that embodies all aspects of creation and every human emotion does linger in our heart forever.

Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking. Notion of human nature derive from beliefs and Human emotion. The Rasas in itself define energy which results out in the form of emotions (Bhavas) manifest in many varieties and consequently their understanding is affected by personal and cultural backgrounds. According to Tibetan psychology, emotions consist of energy comparable to water, and a dualistic process of thoughts that follow and attach to the emotions. This process can be compared with a coloring or pigmentation. When the transparent energy of the emotions and the thoughts are intermingled with each other they turn into the lively as well as colored emotions.

Love means total surrender and this is difficult for the ego. The danger innate in branding our emotions as positive or negative, it sets the scene for inner conflict. We don’t want to be in a state of mind where there is continuous conflict within our own self. So our journey towards life’s harmony requires a pre-acceptance of ourselves, with all our dualities and imperfections, along with a commitment to oneself to work towards emotional balance. Acceptance is an antidote to conflicts we set up within and watching oneself dispassionately, as a ‘witness’ to our emotions may provide the distance required to pinpoint conflict and its source. Love is the most celebrated theme of visual arts. It widely portray the various aspects of 'Shringara'- 'sanyoga' or 'sambhoga', love in union; and 'vipralambha'or 'viyoga', love in separation. Separation from the loved one bites, not only human beings but also the divines.

The ultimate rasa is the Shanta rasa and even shringara rasa leads to the Shanta rasa. Though, it appears contradictory since shringar involves stirring of emotion and the Shanta involves quietude; the underlying interpretation is different. Shanta consists of three parts- sha श, a अ and anta. Sha is the shuddha vidya, Sadashiva, the Pure Knowledge, ‘a’ is the primordial joy, ananda and anta is the end. Thus, the term “shanta” describes the condition of the end of the quest that stimulates another kind of delight which can not be categorized. Thus, even shringara rasa must lead to the shanta rasa.There is minor difference between Sant (saint) and shanta (serenity). It is the difference of the usage of different "sa". In Sant, it is the danta Sa स which stand for sukha (pleasure) principle. A Sant is one in which the craving for the material pleasure has ended (anta). But, Shanta is the end of quest itself when the Pure Wisdom dawns producing a non-differentiated delight. Shant state can be achieved only after one becomes Sant. But, every Sant/saint cannot achieve Shanti.
Calmness is neutral in its relationship to Shringara; it is neither an enemy Rasa nor a friendly one. Shringara is active, while Calmness is inactive. Shringara can only be a friendly Rasa to Calmness in Bhakti Yoga, where decoration and ritual serve to focus and calm the mind, while Love for the deity brings humbleness to the ego, which is essential for attaining Calmness.

There is no limit to the power of human thought. Man goes from bad to worse in the scale of life. He does not put his total strength in fit action. Man is plagued by imperfections. Grudges are foaming in his mind because his life is not flowing with right energy. Still the man wants to stand on the firm basis of personal feelings. Torn by his personal passions, he is unable to establish proper and harmonious relations with others. He is always seeking his private facility in every circumstance. If we Change the direction of our thoughts. We can scrutinize our thoughts. Where necessity ends, curiosity begins. Thought is a creative instrument, and man becomes what he thinks upon. Character is thought-formed. We are born with what we have thought upon, and our present character is an index of our previous thoughts. we can create your future by our thoughts now; if we think nobly, we will be noble in manner. If we think basely no environment will make us different. Thus, thoughts and actions are interdependent. We should be vigilant and allow only good thoughts in our mental field. So the Shant Rasa is. Thought determines destiny. The world around us is the reflex of our thoughts.

Rasa is best expressed in magnificent art work, beautiful poetry, great literature, dance/movement, and now through Painting. Feeling can be positive or negative but No Rasa is considered good or bad positive to negative. The key is to understand the feeling and its effect. If sad, we should   know that we are sad; if laughing knows the joyous; if angry know we are angry – but then we should use the emotion in a positive way to move it forward. Knowing the 9 basic Rasa helps us to understand why certain moods come and stay even though the original cause has gone, and how to use this knowledge to gain more emotional balance. Disgust also depression, self pity. A difficult one to acknowledge. This could be the person who has willingly left their old world and sought a see change. Another example is the Buddha, who in disgust renounced the world of hedonism, his throne, his family, his religion, and went in search of spiritual development. Yes, he obtained enlightenment from the rasa of vibhatsa!

Vibhatsa leads to the neglect of responsibilities, often with regard to one's health and loved ones. Strength and will are destroyed - ego becomes the king. It forces one to improve balance, by taking away all balance. However, there is no bottom to this pool of darkness, except where the ego decides enough is enough and starts, directing the energy upward again. Disgust can be stimulated by the Rasas of Anger, Courage, and Wonder. A particular cause of Anger becomes just another reason to express Disgust. Ordinary human behavior is guided by emotions that are uniquely human in their experiential and interpersonal aspects. These ‘‘moral emotions’’ contribute importantly to human social behavior. Although disgust has been well studied as a basic emotion, its presence and impudence on social behavior have not as yet been fully appreciated. The diversity of the human disgust experience is grounded in cognate emotional mechanisms that give disgust the characteristics of a moral emotion. Moral emotions are distinguished specifically by

their linkage to the interests or welfare of society as a whole. Many people in modern society believe that emotions should be largely ignored and suppressed, while others think that everybody should be able to freely express their emotions. Both sides in this debate in fact uphold a taboo on mastering emotions, either by ignoring them or by identifying with them too much. Ignoring or suppressing happy feelings is a waste of vitality. Ignoring emotions simply does not work, because they come and go. The attitude that ignores emotions in fact originates within an emotion itself: the Fear of letting go of mental defenses, the Fear of being absorbed by an unpleasant mood, the Fear of losing a pleasant mood. Those fears can be controlled. To fight for emotional freedom are reacting against the real problems caused by too much suppression of emotions and suppression is Death! Which carries all the time with survival, disgust and death are the two words but the feeling is same, life without death cannot be imagined and death cannot be felt without life. Every creature of planet is carrying it, like mask, behind the mask of happiness there is death and disgust. This is the behavior of human as beings as social and personal being.

Adbhut rasa is about the sentiments of wonderment surprise. The sthayi bhava of the rasa is vismaya or astonishment. The outcome of Adbhut rasa through the vibhavas such as divyadarshana or seeing a heavenly being. One Revelation is wonder is not a Rasa it can be created by will, even though it can be willfully denied. The key to wonder is to remain open-minded toward the miracle of life, which can be experienced in everything. When something happens that we do not immediately understand, it is important to taste that feeling and let it have its desirable effect on the ego, before giving in to the desire to find out what has taken place. Observations provide enough opportunity for very strong feelings of motivating Wonder. Maya or illusion exists only because of ignorance. The highest Wonder means to completely refrain from the idea of understanding anything, to be always conscious of our ignorance. Whatever happens is a miracle by definition and it is useless to wonder about the why and how! Nothing can be understood; no explanation can be taken for granted; only astonishment is suitable. It is very difficult to decide to be engaging in an action without understanding what the result might be. Action must then truly be taken without any expectation of gain.

Actively developing this attitude will ensure a non-weary experience of life, where we are available in our entirety to each moment. Life is really like a river—there is never the same water in one place in two different moments. Two experiences are never the same, even if they are of the same things. In being purely present in each moment, we will be awestruck by its newness, by the subtle shades that distinguish it from the next and the previous one.

Human life is a rich fabric that is given colour and texture by the many happenings that shape it. The mundane actions that characterize every day as well as the extraordinary happenings that make and keep our lives interesting are all threads that get woven together to form this tapestry. The one thing that is common to all these threads is the fact that they evoke feelings in us, we respond to them with our emotions before they can become a part of our internal life. Indeed, life can be thought of as a continuous sequence of emotions that arise in various contexts and circumstances.

However, separation is an illusion. We are integrally connected to our environment. Our environment exists the way it does only because we observe it the way we do. We, as society, have chosen to view and perceive the world as an illusion we have created. How we as an individual have chosen to view the world from within our society is another illusion. They are illusions for there are a variety of other ways to view reality and our role in reality to create alternative ways of living and being in the world. Some views cause us to live in separation and other allows us to live in wholeness. Illusion is a choice by mind and mind is what created the illusion in the first place. To break the illusion the simplest and gentlest way is to set the intention to experience the oneness of the universe it is only our mind and the resistance of mind to what is that causes the resistance we feel in life.

Hasya depends not so much on the occasion, but on the presence of ahladini shakti, joy energy, in the body. Natural Joy is the reward for seeing the Beauty of life. Smiling and laughter are ever-present in social interactions over the life time, starting from a very young age. The degree of mouth opening in smiling has been associated with increased levels of positive emotion. The meaning usually ascribed to other forms of smiles revolves around the themes of politeness and embarrassment. Laughter as a social corrective belongs "naturally" as it were on the side of social order and control as a weapon against instinctive deviation.

Laughter arises from mimicry of other people's actions. It is to be represented on the stage by the learned with smile, Laughter and excessive laughter". The ego is a highly popular object of Humor in general. Those who can make fun of themselves are clowns. It is the mind that sees the joke. If the ego accepts the joke, even a joke on itself, laughter comes. The minute the intellect starts intervening, real Humor is impossible. Then innocent laughter becomes satire or sarcasm. When life seems like hell, laughter brings us immediately back to Earth if not to heaven. With laughter, life on Earth becomes satisfying enough. Hasya is very healthy and rejuvenating. It reduces tension, Anger, Fear, Laughter is one of the easiest ways to free our self from the mind’s constant thought process and find inner peace. It will make us more alive, healthier, more creative, and more silent. Humor does not only mean that which makes one laugh, for introspection, and realization too, are often gained at once. On analyzing the word humor it is very broad in its connotation. From fun; amusement; raillery; pleasantry; merriment; entertainment; and facetiousness it can also mean as in rasa or mellow; mood; disposition; fancy; temperament; tendency etc. 'Hasya' or humour, created using either a situation or a behavior-mode, easily reveals in dialogues and gestures during a play but a difficult theme for a sculpture or painting.

11.

The Hasya is a Joy that comes from within for no apparent rea-son, and is not linked to actions or events. Yogis call it ahladini Shakti or "the power of Joy."

It is said that when we laugh, it is the easiest to slip into a no-mind state. This is so because the mind has been    freed for that time from its usual workload of thoughts, and we can simply be in that moment: open, free, happy. "The power of Joy." Ahladini Shakti may also come when we feel that.

God or life is kind. Humor - the second significant meaning of Hasya - is, however, linked to particular situations. The favorite subject of Humor is maya, the illusionary aspect of the universe, the eternal play of opposites that is never the ultimate truth but merely a reflection of truth. In a joke, something becomes a reason for laughter because it demonstrates the futility of attaching too much importance to what is actually an illusion. There is nothing funny about a person who stumbles, except if they were previously showing a lot of pride. Laughing at our worries means we understand that the future can bring anything: It may bring what we fear, or its opposite, or even something completely unexpected Basically, Humor takes the seriousness out of life, and what else is this seriousness but a hanging on to our illusionary roles and games, against all evidence? The art of Humor is to reveal the opposite forces that are all evidence? The art of Humor is to reveal the opposite forces that are at work in whatever happens. The subject of Humor also depends on the level of consciousness.

Thought is finer than ether, the medium of electricity. If we throw a piece of stone in a tank or a pool of water,   it will produce a succession of concentric waves travelling all around from the affected place.

What is the possible medium through which thoughts can travel from one mind to another? The best possible explanation is that Manas or mind-substance fills all space like ether and it serves as the vehicle for thoughts, as Prana is the vehicle for feeling, as ether is the vehicle for heat, light and electricity and as air is the vehicle for sound. You can move the world through thought-force. Thought has great power. It can be transmitted from one man to another man. ou are surrounded by an ocean of thought. You are floating in the ocean of thought. You are absorbing certain thoughts and repelling some in the thought-world.Everyone has his own thought-world. Thoughts are living things. A thought is as much solid as a piece of stone. We may cease to be, but our thoughts can never die.

Perfect moments in life occur when all of who you are shows up at the right place at the same time. Thought may not be instantaneous, but it is rapid enough to seem like it is most of the time. The need for speed in the nervous system is not hard to understand. High speed is also crucial to the way we perceive the world. Three or four times a second, our eyes dart in a new direction, allowing us only about a tenth of a second to make sense of what we see in each spot. And we make remarkably good use of that time.

Every thought that you send out is a vibration which never perishes. It goes on vibrating every particle of the universe and if your thoughts are noble, holy and forcible, they set in vibration every sympathetic mind.Thought alone is the whole world, the great pains, the old age, death and the great sin, earth, water, fire, air, ether. Thought binds a man. He who has controlled his thoughts, is a veritable God on this earth.

The body cannot live without the soul, nor can the soul "function" without the body. The body does not die until the soul departs from it. As long as the body functions, even in the most minute of ways, with or without artificial means, the soul is there as well. 
Soul rules its body of human nature. Thus, voluntary acts are just manifestations of the soul’s power to move the body, just as the movement of the heavenly bodies is a manifestation of God’s power to move the entire universe. The soul is that on account of which a living being is alive. it follows that the soul of a living being is its substantial form, human souls must possess in addition the rational powers of intellect and will.

Body and soul together constitute a human being.However; this picture raises a peculiar problem in connection with the rational soul in particular. The souls of human beings remain immortal. Based on accumulation of past and present karma – thoughts, deeds and actions, it becomes fierce, calm, terrible, fearless, ignorant and enlightened, trembling and steadfast, forbearing and nonbearing, passionate and ascetic and a prey to bewilderment. Thus the quality of manifested soul is different for each individual. The Spirit which is the life force has also its intermediaries, mind, will, intellect and ego, which are much higher and powerful than the body self. Sleep and death are brothers, according to the old Greek proverb. However, they are not merely brothers, born of the same fabric of human consciousness, but are in all verity one, identical. Death is a perfect sleep, with its interim awakenings of a kind, human awakening in the succeeding reincarnation. Sleep is an imperfect fulfillment of death, nature's prophecy of the future death. Nightly we sleep, and therefore nightly we partially die. Indeed, one may go still farther and say that sleep and death and all the various processes and realizations of initiation are but different phases or operations of consciousness, varied forms of the same fundamental thing. Sleep is largely an automatic functioning of the human consciousness; death is the same, but in immensely greater degree, and is a necessary habit of the consciousness in order that it may gain for the psychological part of the constitution a resting and an assimilation of experience.

Inside the bowl that holds this creation experience, there are countable earthly existences which are another word for worlds. These countable earthly existences or worlds inside the bowl can be understood as bubbles. Every human existence is in its own bubble. When there is something else that needs to be understood and an existence is being caused toward that understanding, human existence exist as images of themselves with countable bubbles inside this bowl. Bubbles can also indicate a sense of control and we need to be aware of our everyday existence. We are all products of our environment.  It is the arena within which we develop as people.  This environment ultimately determines our perception and understanding of the world around us.  It sets the stage for our interests and social interconnections. The stimuli surrounding us in the developmental stages of our human existences ultimately determines the extent to which we relate to the world, and is largely dependent on which type of environment we were raised in.  Quite often, it is the determining factor in the way we interact within the macrocosm of our Earthly existence.

As we develop in uterus, we essentially exist within our first bubble.  Upon arriving into this world, we are met with bright light and an alien existence.  Our bubble gives way to a second earthbound which begins as a malleable sphere of imagination and endless possibility.  The stratum is quite deep in these initial stages of existence, but over time it begins to harden if the mind is not challenged with new information and taught to be open to new ideas.

Life in the bubbles of the shallow stratum is extremely subjective.  Any opinions, data interpretation and regurgitations are centered around the teachings of an insular world.   Facts are dismissed when they conflict with preconditioned opinions.  The first step toward breaking out of our bubbles is in coming to a clear understanding of humanity and the goals we must make together.   We must find a common ground, one without greed and profit as the center of purpose. There are larger bubbles, though, to which individuals gravitate. As we come to the next corner in the road of our human existence, bubbles must come to burst and ideas converge to take us to the next level of existence.  As it stands today, we live separately, existing within defensive mechanisms and self-protection, denying our very humanity at every step.  The world will not survive this continued existence, this self-absorbed concentration of thought, without consequence.  We need to open up, to accept fact, to realize reality.

Every person has a good and evil side to their lives. Although people have a two sided personality, they must choose when to show which side. It is really impossible to separate the sense of oneness and the experience of love, for they are one and the same; the term Love Oneness expresses the flawless unity of the two. Love is the fabric of all creation and the perception of the inherent unity of all things may occur all at once, or become more gradually established over time. This Transmission of Grace appears to dissolve -- at the perfect pace and in the perfect way -- all the barriers or illusions to the experience of Love Oneness as our true nature.  As the heart soul center opens, it becomes increasingly clear that the fabric that unites everything is love. It forms the substratum of all creation, as God’s most essential nature.  Impediments to surrendering to the God within melt with this realization, as does the ability to separate and judge oneself and others.

Body and mind are equal and interdependent. This principle is known as the oneness of body and mind. Body, or the material aspect, includes everything which can be outwardly discerned such as colour, form and texture. Mind, or spirit, refers to those aspects of life which are inner or invisible such as emotions, will and personality. The principle of the oneness of self and environment means that life and its environment are inseparable. 'Two but not two'. This means that although we perceive things as separate from us, there is a dimension of our lives which is one with the universe. At the most fundamental level of life itself, there is no separation between us and the environment. This fundamental level of life can be called the ultimate reality.

16

If God is going to give free wills to His creatures, He has to allow for the possibility of them misusing that freedom. To be significantly free is to be morally responsible, means being morally responsible to each other. The principles of nature are what are called the Mahabhutas or grand elements.   These elements are in everything including us and correspond with five Universal Principles of Alignment of Anusara, but not exactly in the same order.  The first principle is Open to Grace and that goes with the fifth element or highest element, Space!  When we open to Grace we get very spacious both in our physical bodies, what we call “inner body bright” and in our emotional and spiritual approach to life.  We get Spacious by letting go of the restrictive thinking that lets us see ourselves as limited beings.

All of life’s offerings as part of the Divine energy.  We see the patterns of light and shadow as a reflection of the artistic beauty within all things.  Creation only happened for the enjoyment of Love, when Shiva and Shakti, the male and female energies, who were one.

There is Beauty in everything, even in misery or ugliness. fear arises from uncertainty and inability to control a certain situation. We have achieved almost a total control over birth but Death remains a mystery. the body is just a vehicle for the soul and the soul never dies , it continues to wander from one place to another using the bodies as stopovers. See life as an energy form that is continuously flowing, with birth and death mere catalysts changing the course of the flow. We have separated living from dying, and the interval between the living and the dying is fear. That interval, that time, is created by fear. Living is our daily torture, daily insult, sorrow and confusion, with occasional opening of a window over enchanted seas. Life is certainly a celebration and so is death.  Death is feminine, as friend who will hold our hand and take us to yet another wonderful journey, this freedom!

Emotion, which could be described as an aesthetic experience. This colors it: erotic love, pathetic, devotional, comic, fearful, repugnant, horrific, heroic, fantastic, furious, and peaceful. Rasa is a multi-dimensional principle that explains thoroughly the relation between a sentiment, a mood, the creative process and its transpersonal qualities. The quiescent sentiment of inner serenity. It inspires a feeling of inner peace to someone who has found the emptiness or vanity of all things, achieving detachment and withdrawal from desires and the external world. This is the mood of the austere, and it is related to the monastic serenity of who devotes his life to God. It is the calm, healing and pleasant rasa inspired by long, slow, meditative drone. This rasa evokes a feeling of remembrance and gratitude.

There is nothing that is negated by the Lord of Kailash. All life forces are grouped together, skillfully orchestrated such that everything has its place, every being has its function, and all participate in the divine concert and their very dissonance creates the most beautiful harmony. Spiritual purity and sensual joy, hideous demonic energy and sublime calmness produce the true rhythm of life. These vagueness and paradoxes in Shiva's character do inspire laughter. Vishnu is calm, measured and critical. They both represent two sides of the comic coin—the fool and the trickster, and affirm the power of joy and wonder.

From the dawn of civilization, human beings have tried to understand everything and are still trying. The feeling of Wonder comes when we recognize our own ignorance. When a wonderful thing happens, the intellect is overwhelmed, unable to fully understand it, the mind is completely immersed in the feeling of Wonder, and the ego surrenders to it. When we understand that there are things that we do not understand, it makes life beautiful and exciting, full of wonders to explore, full of opportunity for new understanding and personal growth.

Evolution is the prevailing paradigm for today‘s understanding of human nature. It is championed by some not only as a biological explanation for the origin and unity of living beings, but as responding to all questions of human life and the universe itself, as well as its purpose—or absence thereof. It is rejected by others, who fear that acceptance of the biological theory of evolution entails a naturalistic vision of the world, and of man as a product of nature no different from other animals. All human activities, including the most lofty, function in the service of genetic evolution: If the brain evolved by natural selection, even the capacities to select particular esthetic judgments and religious beliefs must have arisen by the same mechanistic process. Evolutionary theory is enlightening. Man, however, is more than his biology. We behave morally, not because we are programmed to obey an impersonal zoological command, but because as rational agents we recognize that by our actions we chose concretely our individual fulfillment in view of permanent and universal values. As moral agents we discern reasons that justify our actions in accord with demands discerned within our nature, and obligations arising from our relationships. The reduction of moral behavior to an unconscious biological impetus ignores the evidence of immediate experience: our moral deliberation in the face of ineluctable choices, the awareness that we are in control and that we chose goals for non-biological purposes. Life in the concrete is always personal. Each one lives in him- or herself as an individual, It is in each case an individual I‘ who lives, acts, and shapes a personal world.  Evolutionary accounts ignore the irreducible element of subjective experience.  It is the difference between the detached aspect of the third person as publicly observed, and the inalienable first person experience, which each of us knows intimately as inner agent.

When God imagined us, he thought of us on equal terms as he would of himself a being whose intimate friendship would intrigue him for eternity. His image and likeness would be unmasked in human life. We are fashioned in the same mould, the expression of the same thought.  Everyone who realizes their association in him, convinced that he is their original life, in them he confirms that we are indeed his offspring, be gotten of him. The most accurate tangible display of God's eternal thought finds expression in human life! He is the revelation of our completeness. ‘And of his fullness have we all received, grace against grace. He mirrors our completeness and is the ultimate authority of our true identity. He is I am in us. He is both the genesis and genius of our wisdom; a wisdom that reveals how righteous, sanctified and redeemed we already are in him. Man exists to be in union with his Maker; in his very make-up he is the God-kind. He accomplished this in dying our death in a human body; he fully represented us in order to fully present us again in blameless innocence face to face with God; with no sense of guilt, suspicion, regret or accusation; all charges against us are officially cancelled. Mirror Translation.

The tree of Life emanates out of the divine world of unity and is depicted as upside-down, with its roots flowing from the divine place of unity and infinite light. The trunk and branches reach down towards us, penetrating the worlds of spirit, psyche, and physical existence. The Tree of Emanation, which flows downward from the source. The other Tree of Life symbol flows upward, back towards the source, with roots in the ground and branches growing up to the sky. This is the Tree that the initiate climbs to return to the source and is the Tree of evolution or initiation. It is the initiate’s responsibility to evolve and awaken, climbing the Tree and penetrating the worlds of psyche, spirit and divine unity, reconnecting with the divine source.

‘’The pain of life brought tears and suffering, suffering in silence.  She could not let down that mask that protected her.  Her mask brought her what she thought was safety and security.  The more she wore the mask, the harder it was for people to see her.  All they could see is the image that she portrayed to them. But these masks held a secret.  A secret she would not let out. It is safer if no one knows the real her.  she can't get hurt again if she don't let others in. In reality the masks she wore kept her as prisoner.  No one ever knew the real her.  No one knew her secrets.  I had no one to cry with and share her heart with.’’

Our innermost state shining through our face, the extension of Truth itself. In that state when we are where and what we are, unmasked, raw and real, sometimes broken, our being can touch another being. We all know this place and have experienced this place of alignment and connection; we have at least had a glimpse.

Though this state holds the deepest strength it is translated in our minds to vulnerability. And we are right. The truth is we are all fragile, and because this is true for all that exists in this world, when we open up, admit, and surrender to it we come out of our loneliness and really embrace the world and its creatures.

Instead, shaken by forces of the unknown, we seek to gain more control; in order to do that we mask our true faces with what we think of as a survival mechanism--putting in constant effort to remain "under-cover" and deny the actual state of lack of control and vulnerability in face of the world's forces. One is completely free of the mask; the only thing that varies is the degree to which we are able to recognize its patterns and name those. Then it can slowly melt away and we see beyond it, our faces beaming, we are courageously connected in our vulnerability, leaving us with sweet, true strength and intimacy. This is the fulfillment of the commandment.

.The Evolutionary Collective. We will and are for that matter appearing to humankind in our collective form and as aspects of our collective energy, or as what you would perceive to be our individual forms. The feeling tone of our transmission is not what you might interpret as emotional in nature. You are more apt to feel sensations of buoyancy, tingling or heightened senses. We are not emotional beings. We are beings of creative vibration. We are often sensed as amplification of your own energy. We do not impose on your beliefs; we only enhance the development of your path. Therefore, each of you will interpret our light through the lens of your understanding and beliefs.

We have often been referred to or mislabeled as angels, because your culture has a familiarity with that notion, and we often act in a similar fashion to what you understand to be the job of angels. In a sense, we can be seen as an angelic force in that we are bringers of light, but we are different than what historically and biblically is referred to as angels. Biblical angels are another type of being that also exist multi-dimensionally.

Angels differ from us in that they do not have the ability to alter or enhance energy expressions. They are messengers, not builders. As such they are not creators of realities, but are rather pipelines between realities. Specifically, they are the telegraph system between our energy grid creations and the resting and assessing zone between. We assist your journey while you are creating in a so called physical form, while they keep you on track as to what you were individually intending during this life and bridge you to the next. We assist you in evolving as creators and infuse the entire creative system with energy, while angels relay reminders to your individual spirits regarding your chosen lessons for a given life. So while we take no offense to being called angels, we are formulators of life forms and are therefore technically quite different aspects of the God force then are angels. We are all different aspects of a greater creation dynamic and each have our place in the perpetuation of all existence.

A chameleon can change its color according to its surroundings.  Helps it survive in another way. Because it blends its color so well with its surroundings. Human carries the chameleon nature. Human nature is quite flexible, capable of evolving one way or another.  Everything changes in nature and nothing remains static.

The world passes through alternating cycles of evolution and dissolution, each of which endures for a long period of time. Though change is inherent in nature, natural processes are affected by the morals of man.

Complexity of existence has increased and is increasing. The increase in complexity is directly related to sweeping changes in the structure and dynamics of human civilization—the increasing interdependence of the global social system.

Our complex social environment is consistent with identifying global human civilization as an organism capable of complex behavior that protects its components and which should be capable of responding effectively to complex environmental demands. Each of us, are parts of a greater whole. This relationship is shaping and will continue to shape much of our existence.

We live in a society that worships the body and material possessions and cares next to nothing for the soul. Soul is the principle of life in a living body. The soul is the substantial form of the body. It gives life, confers the nature, and provides order and unity of purpose to the living being. A spirit is what does not depend on substance for its existence. The human soul is a spirit but by nature a spirit which gives life to a body. Hence it is not a spirit in every respect. Being the formal principle of a living body, it is also a soul: the only soul which is also a spirit. But a pure spirit is one which is not a soul.

Life is complex as human and it depends upon person to person that how it perceives the life. Life is like rope and we are climbing and struggling upon the rope of life. Struggling for the existence.   God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter, without sorrow, sun, without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Vasudhaiva kutumbakam which means "the whole Earth is one family". Once we have understood that the whole Earth is one interconnected entity, and then Deep Ecology becomes the next step. . We have no right to think that we human beings are more important than, say, rainforests.

There are seven elements, from which this whole universe is made: the earth, fire, water and air are recognized as basic elements. The fifth element is space. Without space we cannot exist. And the sixth one is time; not clock time, but eternal time. And the seventh element is consciousness. Without consciousness we would not be able to relate to anything. These seven elements are intrinsically and inherently good. Even an earthquake is good. It shows that in the short term it is very painful. But in the long term the Earth is managing, maintaining, correcting and balancing itself. Everything that naturally exists has its own natural balance and harmony; that is Deep Ecology. Once we accept that our relationship with the Earth should be based on the principle of permanence, we need to develop a sense of the place. The crisis of environment comes out of a utilitarian, materialistic, non-sacred, non-spiritual world-view — "the Earth is there for us to use, for our comfort, for our convenience." As a consequence we have taken from nature without knowing its limits. When we have a sense of reverence, we shall take from nature only what meets our vital needs. the Earth is happy to give its fruits as long as we take only what we need. When the baby is full, he or she stops sucking and doesn’t go on sucking. Well, unfortunately we humans go on sucking the Earth. The evil of destruction is guiding them to do all this terror which is under the face of the earth.

The mother is upset to see all these we are doing .she says my love toward the entire organism on the Earth is the same as that. Although I am controlling and managing the organism for the balance of the entire mechanism of the Earth, the diverse control actions, the number of entities, and the circulation of the atmosphere, I always watch with love. If there is no love in the system of controlling and growing the organism and returning to nature, it is very dangerous and unnatural.

Love is letting all creations grow, and the driving force of making all creations to do their original roles. The love of the Earth is love toward the entire organism of the Earth, and that is the essential concern she has toward all of them. She is trying to protect herself. She is the mother and she can not see her creation to become dissolve.

It is a sacred art and a sacred act for a woman to tenderly and lovingly and intimately nurture her body and her being by fully living her life as the beauty, wisdom and power of the feminine essence. This art and this act of sacredness enliven, awaken and open her to the mysterious realm of the Earth Mother within. And when she opens in this way she knows the pleasure and the silence of inner peace, inner joy and inner rest. And he? How can he nurture this spirit of earth within his woman and within himself? He has much to offer the earth and he has much to offer woman. But first he must die. He must die to who he is not. And he must die to the part of him that is overly attached to a world that is destroying the bounty and the beauty of our Earth Mother. When he loves this spirit of earth within his woman, both come home, both disappear into an exquisite place beyond the mind, within and beyond the body. And both unite as one. This contemporary masculine world of many inventions and many achievements has accomplished many great things. And yet it is a world that is rapidly and ruthlessly destroying the luscious femaleness of our beautiful and bountiful Mother Earth. She is awake. She is alive. She is conscious. She is wise. She is free. But for how much longer will our beneficent Mother Earth freely provide her prolific abundance and kindly support her beloved creatures? And for how much longer will Mother Ocean sing her ancient song? How much longer will her seas be choked with the excesses of a world that does not love the earth enough to cease grabbing and taking from her treasure chest of natural bounty?  Her separation from the loving nurturance and supportive sustenance of this great universal and earthly mother creates a chasm, a hole, a tear, a gaping wound of loss and grief within the female psyche. And now it is time for this personal and collective wound to heal. Through this separation from her Mother Earth she loses her inherent sense of interconnectedness, of oneness, of inner peace. She loses her sense of belonging; she loses her sense of place upon this earth. If she searches for this sense of connection in her relationships, in her career, in the events and circumstances of her outer world, This Earth Mother’s love is not aligned with the world’s idea of love. For this is not a sentimental love. This is not a love tainted with emotional attachment and greedy wanting and childish dreams. This is not a love polluted by the selfish desire

Every woman is the physical representation of the Earth Mother. Her womb is the womb of Mother Earth and her female body and psyche ebb and flow with the gentle, subtle yet wild and powerful cyclic rhythms of the earth. The masculine world has taken her far from her inner source, from her inner home, from her inner heart, from the heart of her womb, from the heart of the earth. This world pulls her ever outwards, ever forwards, ever upwards, seducing her with the alluring traps of attainment, of achievement, of an illusory future, of a seductive mirage, of “someone” and “something” and “somewhere” out there, of being someone other than who she really is.
