Sweeping dirt from the surface does not help prevent the virus in the roots of thinking which again rises to consume humanity till the roots of education are cleared with teaching positive thinking, contentment, peacefulness and self respect as a part of the educational curriculum and family upbringing
Negative thinking spreads from
a suffering individual to mass consciousness, from micro to macro levels, and multiplies suffering for all .A negative focus of thinking, leads to inherent
corruption, dis-satisfaction as the
dominating internal focus , criticism of optimism, impatience, fear of losing
fame or surface reputation, complaining
attitudes, and mass aggression in the form of
terrorism and wars. As the inner disharmony surfaces up, individual
bodies face diseases/abuse. alcoholism, drug addictions and the planet Earth throws up suppressed negative
energy to restore its inner positive balance
in the form of floods, epidemics or violence .
Once the dirt shows up on the
surface , the authorities desperately seek to erase the dismal picture without looking
into the cause, which arises from the roots of the educational system . .
A sustained focus on the need to improve physical accomplishments at
the cost of sacrifice of inner understanding, which begins in childhood as a
side-effect of the general focus on ‘what is missing ‘, leads to
development of greed overruling need, in adulthood as the mind-set that seeks
continuous improvements moves to a cycle of greed which redefines ‘need’ as an endless, disproportionate
craving for more. Greed leads to restlessness, obesity, alcoholism and
corruption which lead to rising frustrations and anger in mass consciousness.
Instead of correcting flaws in the
educational structure, there is a search for Who to blame when conflicts
escalade. Subsequently, the visible flaws of government policies, terrorists
and criminals are blamed almost as arbitrarily, as famines are blamed for lack
of water supply.
Metaphorically, just as the
primitive man passed responsibility of every problem on the rains, in the
modern day, the government policies of the day are conveniently blamed for all unrest
in society while individuals escape responsibility . However, the government as
a macro unit, reflects the problems faced by individuals as micro units.
Once the individual mind’s dominant
vibrational point is set on an energy
cycle of being negative & restless, governments cannot control violence by
sweeping dirt from the surface. Peacefulness is eroded by focusing on negative
aspects of life and complaining about injustice, without understanding that there is virus in
the roots of behavior.
Children learn more by imitation of
adult behavior than preaching . Since domestic violence, bullying, abuse or
threats, continue as tools for teaching children , violence in adulthood or
bullying is an accepted norm when these children grow up to be leaders.
Economic dominance is used to threaten other nationalities because it is
traditionally assumed that competition is necessary as Earth is a scarcely resourced planet, wherein bullying
& monopolization help to survive.
Logical methods of reasoning are ignored
as violence and competition offer faster methods of achieving an outcome, even
though it does not change inner mind-sets to positive. Criminals and terrorists
are created because there is an inherent belief that competitive violence helps
in instilling obedience. Wars are planned for by competing armies, being
maintained at the cost of sacrifice of emotional/ human development.
Even entertainment in the modern
world revolves around competitive sports, competitive dance programs and
the paradigm of defeating the weak.
People waste hours to relax by watching
cricket and soccer matches because the hormonal ups and downs created by
competitive situations, work as addictions . There can be far greater
relaxation created if the same amount of time and energy was invested on
meditation , sleeping or just being in a peaceful or positive state of neutral detachment . Relaxing the sense organs
helps in improving health and happiness while watching sports or eating junk
foods have negative effects on being peaceful or healthy. Yet, the war games
are created and cultivated by adults enjoying the virtual emotional killing as
happens in video games .
The same war mind-set spreads to
real life from the sports field, and creates religious fights, terrorism and
crime thrills. The more criminals and
terrorists are killed, the more they get created further as the focus of
individual thinking remains on enjoying competition.
The abusers who exert negative power to win
success ,feel most anxious, bitter and unhealthy themselves . However, abuse
continues to rule as competitive success is glorified – be it negatively
exerted or positively responsible. Just as children get away by obtaining good
marks through cheating, adults get away by obtaining power by side-lining
ethics and betraying mass welfare .
There is no distinction made
between negative power and positive power as minds are conditioned during
childhood by the educational structure which does not teach a distinction
between positive power ( success with understanding , satisfaction and
happiness ) and negative power (success without contentment which
reduces peacefulness or happiness).
A balanced mind would aim at
addressing both spiritual and material needs so that happiness and health
improve in self and others; but a
competitive mind aims at success even if the pursuit deteriorates health
and peace of mind for self and everyone involved. .
However, due to lack of training in schools, the
spiritual aspect of life is ignored as irrelevant. The mind which is trained on
the basis of competitive success fuels the need to defeat and kill others to
survive itself, as an individual, a country or a religious sect.
There is
no awareness of concepts like Spiritual Evolution , Emotional Management and Emotional
Intelligence, because the spiritual or emotional aspects of life are neglected
in mass education systems. The child’s
mind trained on constantly seeking improvement, is never allowed to be
different than uniform .
Since, it is unusual
behavior to be peaceful or content , training in peace and happiness is left to
a trial and error process instead of being customized by using methods of
Emotional Management which has several techniques for creating happiness , as a
deliberate choice just as good health is created as a deliberate discipline
. However, the total focus of education
remains on teaching technical, mathematical or scientific skills which makes
children feel like non emotional robots obeying masters.
Adults who start thinking like
robots become mechanical in approach, feel sad and empty in all free moments
and usually suffer from bad health but do not understand why there is
negativity in their life. Robots can only obey or feel lifeless and when human
beings are trained as robots are, they become as clueless about how to create
happiness by using love, care and positive thinking . This insistence of
obedience over teaching emotional evolution creates imbalanced adults who escape
into shopping , sports, alcoholism or eating fatty foods; whenever any
emotional problem comes up; instead of applying an organized emotional problem
solving process to resolve issues.
Deliberate escapism from emotional
conflicts release negative hormones which subsequently creates diseases in the
body and anxiety problems in individuals . ( The healing aspect of Emotional
Management is given in my books : A Course In Emotional Management & The Creation Of Happiness: the Energy
War, a soul’s perspective )
However, in the modern era, just as
famines have been controlled by water management through a focus on technological development, the ‘famines’ of
contentment and happiness need to be controlled by training children to be
content and peaceful as a part of school
curriculum from childhood..
Children need to be trained to sleep more , rest more and do
activities at intervals so that focus is on quality of performance rather than
the quantity of work. Training in peace needs to be cultivated by disciplining
children to sit and be silent for at least a minute in every hour so that the
mind gets into habituated to being in peace with practice.
Quality of performance
automatically increases multi-fold when inner free space is created in the
subconscious mind as a deliberate practice.
