(Begin With) Free your Mind


Free your mind ...


Free your mind doesn’t mean believe what this blog says or take it as red, but free your mind just means opening your mind to different possibilities and then deciding what part of all possibilities we choose to accept as reality.You are not expected to passively accept everything you are about to read but are encouraged to begin looking into this information for yourself. Only when you begin your open minded research of your own and stop allowing your opinions to be made for you by authority figures, social norms and the mainstream media- will you even begin to grasp how thoroughly different this world is from what we’ve been led to believe.

As what Einstein said,

‘If the possibility of the spiritual development of all individuals is to be secured, a second kind of outward freedom is necessary. The development of science and of the creative activities of the spirit in general requires still another kind of freedom, which may be characterized as inward freedom. It is this freedom of the spirit which consists in the interdependence of thought from the restrictions of authoritarian and social prejudices as well as from unphilosophical routinizing and habit in general. This inward freedom is an infrequent gift of nature and a worthy object for the individual.’

-Albert Einstein

So what I am trying to offer you is information. It's just information that I have compiled, it's not there to be believed or take it as red just because I say it’s true. Because you see information can be good sometimes and I don’t think that information is ever negative, its ignorance that is bloody negative because when we are in ignorance we can be easily manipulated, piece of cake for anyone! I think I can sum it up really what William Reich said, a philosopher and inventor,

‘Am I a space man? Do I belong to a new race on Earth, bred by men from outer space in embraces with Earth women? … I request my right and privilege to have such thoughts and ask such questions without being threatened to be jailed by any administrative agency of society… In the face of a rigid, doctrinaire, self-appointed ready-to-kill hierarchy of scientific censorship it appears foolish to publish such thoughts. Anyone malignant enough could do anything with them’

‘Still the right to be wrong has to be maintained. We should not fear to enter a forest because there are wildcats around in the trees. We should not yield our right to well-controlled speculation. It is certain question entailed in such speculations which administrators of established knowledge fear… but in entering the cosmic age we should certainly insist on the right to ask new, even silly questions without being molested’

-William Reich, Contact with Space


And here I am now, I decided I am gonna take that right and I am gonna continue exercise that right to the day I leave this reality because if we don’t defend or express our right to go into these areas that are beyond the norms then we put ourselves in the prisons, in the mind prisons therefore in the physical prisons that those norms impose upon us. My freedom or your freedom is our natural and eternal right, not the gift of some dark suit or uniform to decide if it’s gonna give it us or not. As what Gandhi said,


‘An error does not become truth by reasons of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody will see it.’

-Mahatma Gandhi

Putting more simply in his words again,


‘Even if you are in a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.’

-Mahatma Gandhi


And through out our history we have seen small minorities of people who have pointed out flaws in the norms or beliefs or at least questioned it who turned out to be so right that we now say how could anyone ever believe the earth was flat. But people did and it was the norm of the time and we have norms now!

And for those of you who are reading this blog, some of you will be Indian, some American, British, Arabs, Jews, Hindus, Christians.. some black some white. And all those terms, all those symbols of division if you like are really an illusion because we are all each other we are all part of the same consciousness, all aspects of the same whole! The same whole that we see expressed in life forms all over the world. The divisions in this world are in our minds, they are our creation. It is these divisions, these dogmas like I am right, I have got all the answers so you must be wrong. These attitudes often play against each other right across the world that fundamentally allows few people to control the direction of the planet and its direction towards more and more centralization of power in the hands of a fewer and fewer people.


It is kind of interesting that in the final year of my bachelor degree when I was kind of staggering around trying to make sense what’s going on..? Suddenly I was seeing the world in a very different way and I see myself in a very different way, some people call it a Spiritual awakening..! No Spiritual awakening not Religious awakening..! I am gonna have those T-Shirts you know say “God Save Us from Religion”. It’s kinda funny you know when you talking about spirituality that people think you talking about religion and off course the opposite. And religion for me is in many cases is opposite of spirituality, my definition of religion, religion is the greatest form of mind control yet invented and at its most extreme Psychological fascism, the manipulation of fear and guilt to control. Spirituality is the opposite of that it is setting the spirit free celebrating our uniqueness because we are all the aspects of the same whole but we are all unique aspects of the same whole. And crucially respecting everyone else's right to express their uniqueness free from imposition of someone else’s belief system or someone else’s version of right and wrong, moral and de moral. All this is crucial as if how you control the world because we have become, yes in many cases terrorized into denying what we are unique and once we do that we become a herd… yes! a herd mentality and it is the herd mentality that is the vehicle for the manipulation of the world by the very few people. Give you an example what I mean, a symbolic example of herd of sheep… I don know may be when I was 12 or 13 may be and I went to this cattle farm with these vast herd of sheep! Hundreds of sheep, never seen so many sheep at a one place before and it was a nice day you know I was enjoying the day and then the farmer arrives in his pick up the truck, parks it, gets out of the truck and I swear to you I don’t think he even moved an eyelid he stood there against the stick. One or two or three of the sheep immediately react to must have been to his eye lids I guess I don’t know because they are going in the desired direction. Within a minute it was like an exodus hundreds of them are following the one in front…. I did this yesterday, today is not the time, I guess we do it tomorrow and all that stuff you know! And the few stragglers and there were remarkably few who didn’t immediately confirmed to what you call the baa baa mentality! They were given the extra dose of fear with the sheep dogs.. Bow! Bow! Alright, Alright..! This combination of the baa baa and the fear rounded up this vast herd of sheep in a ridiculously short time. Now I am looking at the human race here, this is how it’s done; this is how if you can actually control the mass because you can’t do with the tanks in the streets and soldiers at the door, there are too many people. Its like trying to physically herd sheep together, you can’t do it because you need a man or may be more than one for every sheep to do it physically; you have to do it through the mind either through fear or through conditioning people to think the way you want them to think. So this hundreds of sheep rounded up by one fella flicking his eyelids everyday and sheep dog dispensing fear and that’s how it’s done in the human terms also. It’s amazingly that the extent to which we have given our power away, our spiritual power. Its all about taking our power back because once we do that its all over!
But as what Michael Ellner said,


'Just look at us. Everything is backwards; Everything is upside down.
Doctors destroy Health,
Lawyers destroy Justice,
Universities destroy Knowledge,
Governments destroy Freedom, the
Major Media destroys Information
and Religion destroys Spirituality.'

Why everything is upside down? Why everything back to front? Why there are Billions of bewildered people who don't understand who they are, where they are, whats the business of life is all about? The world seems to be a ball of confusion and complexity and bewilderment but it is when you don't have the co-ordinates to connect things together. Because when you connect the dots you start to see that apparent complexity as it is played out, the apparent bewilderment as it is played out, has a very clear picture that emerges out. And when you connect the dots you get an elephant in a living room!


There are none so enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free!

-Goethe


So who the hell are we, then? What lies behind those eyes? When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so, different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations.Which of these “yous” is controlling your life? Infinity or limitation? Self love or self disdain? Freedom of thought or a prison of the mind? Sadly for the overwhelming majority of people on this planet all but the privileged few - it is the conditioned mind which prevails. They live their lives within their programmed limitations of thought, view, and action. It is a world of I can’ts and I daren’ts and I mustn’ts; of I shoulds and I musts and I ought tos; a world of conforming to what someone else says they must be or should be. While the real them sees only solutions and opportunities to learn and evolve, the programmed them sees only problems and reasons not to do. They live life behind bars in a cell of their own making. The world itself reflects the sum total of these billions of individual prisons. The Earth has become a global Alcatraz, a spinning ball of control and imposition dictated by the few at the expense of the many.
Freedom? Free-what? How do you spell that again?
The human race has not been free for a very, very long time, well before recorded history. But the trick is to persuade us that we are free - then we won’t do anything about the walls that surround us and the warders at the door.
Walls? What walls? You’re free!
Warders? What warders? You’re free!
Yes you are free: you are free to watch television - thirty channels and more of mindless crap which close down your sense of infinity and fed you illusions of what you should do, be and think. You have the freedom to press the zappa button and choose any one of them. Oh what a joy to live in the land of freedom. You are free to watch the news and see journalists and correspondents telling you, mostly without question, the official explanation of events - explanations designed to ensure that you see the world in the desired fashion and react in the desired way. Ladies and gentlemen, repeat after me... I am free... I am free. Yes! yes! yes! You are free to do as we tell you; free to think as we tell you; free to live as we tell you. And you are even free to die as we tell you in the wars coldly created to destroy, control and manipulate.


The human race is free?
No, no, no.
The human race is a herd

  1. Walls will fall apart. There will be no doors. No gates. No doorkeepers. No kings. Nothing. If only a fraction of humans had their spiritual awakening. I know its not fully justified to quantify the outcome of spiritual awakening. An awakening is never insatiable. There is just 'Karma' - What to do next ? What are you going to do tomorrow? - that is what karma is for me. "Everything is a test" - words from a movie 'Recruit' come to my mind. Its all a test of our soul. Its evolving and learning. I firmly believe we ourselves decide at our own for life to be painful and generous at other times. Sole motive always being a healing-transgression-realization-awakening-whatever-u-call-it.
    Herd mentality and suspected attempts, probably successful ones, appear to be very true. It gives a perfect example of how reality is different from what we perceive. Higher dimensions only will unravel whats beneath, on the plane. Human race is not like serpents,insects; its not a special-species-god-like either. Its just like everyone else. God knows if sheep live a better life than ours! We never gave a thought. Religion as per you definition is the sum-up of all the crappy doctrines, mostly baseless and is followed by practices that keep its impact of enslaving people in force. Religion for me has a different definition. I was utterly optimistic. Now I am neither optimistic, nor pessimistic. Its not even 'I'. Its us. Then a confusion comes up again - 'Karma?' - what next? Until this riddle is solved bliss won't come, joy will never be paramount, worries will never diminish and fear will prevail in every single moment.
    Whatever the great thinkers ( at least the ones we start believing in and think alike) we come across, we try to find a cohesion with their karma. Problem is solved there and then. Else, there will be no motives. No 'next-to-do-thing' and confusion will prevail in these circumstances.

  2. Bro! Certainly the kind of comment that i wanted to be the first comment on this post. oh yes! it is this spiritual awakening only that we need to change this Prison into Paradise and if we want to change the world its has to start with self. Fear, anger, hatred, condemnation, dictating what other people should be.. that's! the world we got, that's the prison. But the paradise is awaiting just a thought and attitude away that's all it is, just a choice away. Love(Not Love on the basis of 'I Love You, how fancy you are a darling' but 'I Love you because you exist, I Love you because you are unique, I Love you without a reason'), Love each other and Love the world and our lives are fundamentally changed and the world is fundamentally changed. We are the generations (strange as it may seems when you do the survey in the world, more and more people are waking up) who passionately believe that we gonna love the world in paradise. Because if we don't wanna answer this question from the next generation that "What we were doing when this whole global fascist transformation was going on?" Changing the world won't be something in the future anymore and i hope it will be better for the kids! It's here now we gonna see it happen.
    Interestingly, there are lots of good stuff in our vedas and all, but i don't want to relate them to religion because you see how many in this herd of human race follow that precious knowledge written in the most scientific language known in the human history.. Sanskrit.. remarkably very.. very few!

  3. good start to bring about change! We, few people can not make all the judgment on a right way. But we can try to find out the ways, to reach our destination. if we think our destination will make a good change in society, it will really gonna happen in future.

    this war is not about religion. this is about you and me. it starts with our thinking, happiness, satisfaction, society etc..

    i don't want to write any more because, war is started by those who hv money n power. we cn not change their thinking. And this war ends with those who don't know y r they doing this(like terrorism). they are many in number so we can not change their thinking.

    "but we can try to reach our destination".

  4. In fact the moment you REALIZE that you are the supreme controller HIMSELF, worries will fade away, inherent love inside will shower upon everyone around YOU.. miseries will disappear, anger will have no hideout inside your brain like-a-push-button. Again, everything is a test. The pain, misery is self chosen - in order to heal from a karma that lead you to chose it. At the end - its only SELF that decides whether it can awaken itself or not. It is always there. Bohm reached confusion followed by confusion and concluded in amazement that an electron cloud behaved in a manner a concious being would. I am already amazed without going deeper inside the atoms, electrons - water droplets being in spherical shape, the rains, clouds and ultimately myself - biggest wonder for myself to feel happy and amazed that I am one of the greatest creations by a perfect creator. Or may be there is no difference between the creator and creation itself.

    I have no worries about this world. No worries about these centralized powers. Power will bend its knees when fear is absent.

    Don't think you are incapable. If you sufficient reasons to believe that you have come across revelations that others are not blessed with, you have a purpose. When there is a purpose, fulfillment will follow..

  5. I would start with the basics.
    God created life.Over the ages,all life forms evolved.Some got extinct and some evolved even better,like humans.Now humans realized they are smarter than other life forms and they started either taming or killing them as they needed. But the human greed is insatiable and it wants everything. It wants to be supreme.Biblicaly the corruption of human mind started way before, when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden apple from "the tree of knowledge of good and evil". The serpent who tempted Eve to eat the apple is called Satan.So humans lost their proximity to god in return for evilness
    and they need to purify their souls until all eternity because their sin is unforgivable.
    Do you believe its true?? Might be...But who are these custodians of religion to make the rules of the game. Certainly God didn't ask them to do so. Actually these are the people created by powers who wanted to remain in power. And these people thrived on peoples' "fear" and "ignorance". Centuries have passed since then but the the rules of the game remain the same. But it is impossible to find God outside of ourselves. Our own souls contribute all of the divinity that is outside of us. We are the greatest temple. The objectification is only a faint imitation of what we see within ourselves. So what's the need of institutionalization of religion when one is completely capable of purifying their own souls.
    What we need is some free thinkers like Socrates, Plato, Einstein, Swami Vivekananda , Mahatama Gandhi and Mother Teresa, who could revolutionize the whole human civilization and bring them to a point of self awakening. Only then shall we humans be able to see beyond horizons. Only then shall we humans be able to think beyond dimensions. Only then we can feel God within ourselves.
    But friends the world population today is staggering 7 billion and that too is divided on the basis of nationality, race, religion, languages etc. So it would be a tormentous task to bring change on such a scale.
    But first let us discuss the issue a bit more:From the moment we wake up in the morning until we sleep, we follow a routine,and that routine wont break no matter what.Everyday we come across all kinds of human sufferings caused by natural disasters or by humans themselves.It stirs something inside us for a moment but we tend to forget about it and move on because we have a routine to follow.Our conscience is dead.We want to see the beauty of life, not the ugliness within.We don't want to see the complete picture because that would require us to comprehend the complete truth.That's exactly what we don't want to do.We don't want to see the complete truth because then we will see ugliness and and injustice of the world too and then we will have to act against it. ACT because this is our karma and our path to salvation or Nirvana.We are born not to be puppets in the hands of a few corrupt,selfish individuals.We can't let others control our lives when God has bestowed upon us some marvelous gifts of:
    1)Reasoning-to think beyond conventions.
    2)Belief-to act without worrying about consequences.
    3)Compassion-to feel the sorrows of others and to spread the fragrance of love all around
    4)Finally we have the Free-Will to make our own choices.
    And for that we need to align our soul to the soul of the world.And there's nothing we can't achieve if we really want it.As it is truly said in The Alchemist " When you really want to achieve something the whole world conspires to help you achieve your dreams". So come out of all this hysteria created around you in the name of war,religion,scarcity and fear by corrupt governments,maligned religious institutions and rogue rich individuals to tame you.
    You don't need these manipulators of mankind to guide you because it's you and only yourself who shall set you free.Once you are free,you will hear the voice of God from within you will know no fear.
