Less Luggage more Comfort

Our political leaders tell us clearly, the solution to excess spending is more spending. The solution to excess debt is more debt. For this, I suspect we shall pay dearly.

That is not really our policy.

Here we are expected to not make debts. It is even considered a shame for some to have debts.

The government is about the only one allowed to have debts, but not a private person.

I worked with a lady and her daughter bought a car and it was Friday. The mother excused herself, because she would pay only Monday and she had thirty days. That felt kind of ridiculous to me to think we just look good because of being able to pay a day ahead if possible. But that is a kind of common thinking here.

I am not like that, I rather pay by leasing, I have been too long time in the US to take that Swiss thinking here for granted.

Triune Brain - the Invincibility Dream

Triune brain
The triune brain is a model of the evolution of the vertebrate forebrain and behavior, it consists of the reptilian complex, the paleomammalian complex (limbic system), and the neomammalian complex (neocortex), viewed as structures sequentially added to the forebrain in the course of evolution.

Triune Brain - Wiki

The reptilian brain is functioning by repetition. TM worked with that level of the brain creating a repetition. It is difficult to get out if it again when it is established.

The limbic cortex is the feeling part of the brain and the neocortex is the level of thoughts and intellect. TM is using the intellect to control the reptilian cortex of the brain. Between the different cortex is the neuronal gating. TM by using the intellect established a habit in the reptilian cortex that means control over the brain. The limbic and feeling cortex is locked out.

This lock creates a trauma in the limbic system without the possibility to integrate it, the believe in invincibily takes care of that. The limbic cortex is generally regarded as the most important contribution to the field. It is responsible for the motivation and emotion involved in feeding, reproductive behavior, and parental behavior.

If it is not taking care of the wounds and the hurt child, it is just one pressure which is replaced by another pressure. It leads to dependence by solving problems by meditation, resulting in a vicous circle. The most important level of the brain the lymbic cortex is ignored. Meditation to heal the traumatized child and the unsolved problems, they get stored in the limibic cortex, and that grows, bigger it gets more meditation is needed and the dependence on TM grows, and people are not aware what happens in their brain even though they think they do because of the scientific research, but that is not true. 

The third level, the neocortex is by TM controlled with 'learned by heart principles', they take over the control of the brain, calling it invincibility is not invincible but it creates a conviction and firm believe in the meditator that all is done, to make sure they don't use the limbic system of the brain, that means no intuition, no real intelligence and cut off the inner child. That is the real reason behind ‘invincibility’, to make sure the brain is controlled.

The neuronal gating between the cortex is repressing feelings and experiences, it can be traumatizing for the inner child, but thinking we are invincible - the intellect level goes one with the help of the reptilian complex.

If we work with the inner child we are on the level of the limbic complex, processing feelings and the hurt and wounded inner child, it is the part which is ignored by the TM technique.

The second cortex works with the primal pain, the wounded inner child, what came up by the inner master is the primal pain of being let down by the family. That is what Baba pointed out, therefore, that is for sure true.

A picture was there behind bars, in prison. It was even twice there in Baba's presence. I don't understand it yet, but if shame that binds is not healed it goes on. The experience and freedom of the higher self is only possible again when that process is understood and finished.
Follow the master. Fight to the end. Finish the game.

Cause and Effect retarded, why cut off?

There is anna-maya kosha, matter, the physical vehicle (body).

There is the prana-maya kosha, the "vital" vehicle (breath).

There is mano-maya kosha, the mental vehicle (mind). There is the vignana-maya kosha, the vehicle of Higher Reason (intellect).

There is the ananda-maya kosha, (joy and ahamkara, identification).

And when that vehicle is well developed there is that self-realisation which involves emotional experience of Unity with All.

Koshas

We are used to think vertical, dissecting the parts to the smallest particle. Unity consciousness functions on a horizontal level, it is what unites us on different levels, sheaths.

If we make an experience on body level, it is body. It is different from the sense perception and the intellect is discerning.

The ahamkara (ego) or sense of ‘Who am I’ is again different and on a level of identity.
The journey is from the limited I-ness identified with the outer body level to the inner universal ‘I’-ness in the ananda-maya kosha to the infinite.
How does retarded reality in consciousness happen?
Each sheet has its own reality. The relative level and present we know cause and effect. But if we are on the ahamkara level and the question is ‘who am I’ it is all different and on a mirroring level, inner identification.

Life in the Light of the Inner Child

Remember always that it is easy to do what is pleasant but difficult to be engaged in what is beneficial. Not all that is pleasant is profitable.
Success comes to those who give up the path strewn with roses, and brave the hammer blows and the sword-thrusts of the path fraught with danger.
As a matter of fact, no road is a bed of roses. Life is a battlefield - a Dharmakshetra, where duties and desires are always in conflict. Smother the fiery fumes of desire, hatred and anger, that rise up in your hearts. It is sheer cowardice to yield to them as they turn you into beasts.
Baba (thought for the day)

When I was about eighteen there was a problem, for my inner child the world had become strange. What had felt like home before, couldn’t be recognized anymore, it had become unfamiliar, cold. Outside it looked still the same, but inside the feeling of home was gone, what was left was just an outer picture with no content, inside it felt empty and it was very painful.

It didn’t make sense. What had happened?
It felt for the inner child impossible to know what it was, how to handle life. It was just disturbed. It had to find out why it looked that strange and upside down.
Growing up in a rather small village was one thing, that shouldn’t be that difficult, but the parents were the problem. Hard working people they had help of neighbors and there was one girl, she was young and we went with mother to a vacation. My inner child still remembers those days as beautiful, peaceful and full of blossom. Maybe it is remembered that way because that was the last vacation with her.
