Let me say that I find Mr. Green to be among the most popular, mercurial and sartorial Yang snag members here. I think we can all agree on this, regardless of denomination. To be mercury is good, and the only problem is that we do not realze that we turning into gold. We may hate ourselves, yet we are really turning into gold. It is sad that our family and friends should see it in us, and we not see it in ourselves.
There is a huge lifework craft art and science of learning to give things to yourselves, to oneself, myself. Those who are manic give themselves the advantage of more quantity of life experiences. Activity serving to build the system. It is our movements that oil our joints in ways that allow us to take advantage of the glucose flowing to our muscles and springiness of our limbs, rebounding from gravitation confrontation with the earth, twisted in graceful arching highjump.
I have to start talking about it here. I made a change to the Wikipedia website introductory paragraph. Okay another post. I think all posters of all denominations will agree, that if there is ever an ex-BK international inculcation convention, Mr. Green would be among the charismatic presences.
Funny subject, hardly anyone has broached the subject, "How was it teaching BK knowledge to others. That was our life, right, giving knowledge to others. That was what I lived for. Bizzare. Just like Jehovah's Witnesses, those nice people, yet the underlying unpleasantness that they simply see you as differently that themselves.
So, I occasionally gets some positive comments from one our another of you
about something I've written, and then ... somehow I deny myself that and start to think that my writing is terrible. Recycling the material, like tired old Avyakt BapDada. How does he feel, seeing the decay of his organization? The fact the he wasn't god, does not have full spiritual knowledge, thought he did. Can see as heavy metals build up in landfills that the Earth is different than before. Since petroleum began running the world
I've been giving myself hell because of spending time online writing, but what is that? A communicating activity. Actually you've been talking to them for a long time that you are friends, feel like friends.
So yes, I would definitely, I would definitely want to meet other ex-BKs I've been talking with here. I doubt that differences would result in fisticuffs. The variety of unguarded company. Of course, it is quite revealing to be with others, and not always pleasant, yet if we're not arguing over money, you would think we would have the crazy energy to dance, do puppet theater, mad manic creative life art in compressed party on some sea coast somewhere.
So coming back, how is it that we deny ourselves, and how are we able to give to ourselves? To allow ourselves to like ourselves as much as our friends and family like us, those we are on good terms at least.
How can we feel how we hold ourselves back in situation after situation, recorded in the very postural patterns through which we remember and remind ourselves who we are. That is what happens in the meditation, you associate postural sensations -- because what situation are you in?? Sitting posture. It's not an accident that meditation is seated. God Shiva came into Brahma, and
then to retrieve that sensation, he would sit in meditation. He wouldn't be lost in the accounts of his business. He did not think God inhabited the accounts as much as, say the Subtle Region, perhaps of the Caballah, its pre-occupation with The Word.
Well, I disagree with Brahma, there is
no reason for a seated posture to live a fulfilled life. Period. Some people, who live in the desert with no chairs, spend most of their time when they're not walking squatting on the ground. That was the posture used to show degrading images of American Indians. Uncivilized, squatting around a smoky fire.
An that's is not as good as our convenient petroleum fires? We're an improvement?? Many of our cars are clean. We like them clean, it conceals the realty that they are very dirty, very very much more dirty than anything before, except maybe digging in mines for gold and mercury, burning poisonous smelting fires, like in the story of Bar Abbas by Par Lagerkvist, which is a guite revealing acccount of religious faith and religious experience. I believe he received a Nobel Prize in literature for that work.
I am often down on schools, their conformance, fixed schedules. Yet it was a school teacher who introduced me to this story, and I think anyone wanting to understand religious experience, hypnosis, trance should read it.
So what is it? Postures and activities during rituals, combined with logos, the power of words to evoke emotions, dopamine discharge. Repeating these patterns, so that a kind of learning takes place, a rewiring of our rewards system. The Mind Control video is arresting because they remind us that our rewards system can easily by manipulated, rewired, trained and ordered to murder.
It is simply a combination of neuromuscularskeletal movmenets of the same type we spend our whole lives, perhaps we have even trained recreationally with guns before. Understand how to sight, to settle and to squeeze. Gently. "It takes 22 muscles to smile, but just four to squeeze a trigger." -- Internet tagline. So that our reward system can be easily readily rewired. It does when a woman has a child. Those who love the child rewire their reward systems to have mutual pleasure with each other. Lovers rewire their reward systems to each other.
Our reward systems are extremely malleable. They are like mercury, mercurial, frictionless. They keep us in bed until noon. In low-stage depression. A child with no sense of play, free to create games, he sits by himself. A sad meditation, recycling of previous sad experiences, the hurt flowing through him like bitter vinegar. Anger that can throw acid, or dispassion that can pull a trigger.
That is the anger that BB feared. Maybe he did not know people become depressed, or while able to draw them out by his own charisma and enthusiasm for life did not understand the necessary for a committed in exploration to reveal and heal the hurts that have continued till they become unconscious, embedded in the set of our jaw, the tension in our eyes and lips, the preparing of the limbs to run, to strike, roll into a fetal position.
I never thought about the 'limitations of spooks' theory, but that's what they say. The spook has these powers, and can channel knowledge, and can call themselves anything, but don't necessariy know things. So Shiva/Brahma definitely does not appreciate that the the heavy metals and chemicals in our environment today have never been here before, and life continues to evolve in response. The disturbance to the oceanic food web of losing all the top level predators, sharks, whales, game fish.
He had his insights. Those regarding the cycle died withthe brain of Brahma, although not bfore replicating in 900,000 brains of all of us. The conditions of today can never repeat. That is what is so mysterious about life, each situation is different. And will be different. That was a mistake or a technique of 'the spook'. Now matters because now is all we have. 'Everything is fixed' is fatalistic, and therefore surrendering one's power.
Said another way, it could be equivalent to the Sobriety Prayer, let me change the thigns I can, accept what I cannot change, and be wise to the difference.
So why is it so pathological? Because of the identity. We are those same ones from 5000 years ago, we have been together time after time. This is creating an artificial family through religious enthusiasm, the same re-wiring of the pleasure system that hapens in a football or rugby game. Our pleasure system connecting with the life of the game, with the life of the factory, life of the city, life of the nation, falling into sync with many other nervous systems to run the cars, buses, factories, hospitals, prisons, create the lives of ourselves as individuals, yet our pleasure systems malleable, our hearts vulnerable, beliefs changeable.

Much of what government and industry do is to influence belief. It is astonishingly easy to do. As easy as asking a person to write a paragraph (for the sake of research experiment, pay $20) on the side opposite their normal point of view. Many of those research subjects had adopted the new view as their own when tested some months later.
We are turning to gold, and gold can be worked and renewed, applied to a thousand different purposes. Gold may not be able to hug, but it can decorate those who are to embrace.
