Everybody here right now consumes news,
Don't you?
To some degree.
Lot of people have wisely opted to reduce the amount of news that they consume.
If you have done that thumbs up because it's definitely the right way to go in today's culture.
That's what I decided to do about 10 years ago and it's profoundly improved my life and state of mental,
Spiritual,
Psycho-spiritual well-being.
But we are all exposed to information that.
.
.
For most people here,
I would assume it hurts you.
It hurts your soul.
It hurts your heart.
And you're right in feeling those emotions.
They're valid emotions.
You can choose the amount of media you consume.
You can put a blocking app on your mobile phone.
You can be very disciplined on the computer when you choose to load up these mainstream news channels.
But at the end of the day,
You are going to be faced with the world's problems,
The world's craziness and it is craziness.
It absolutely is craziness.
I think part of the personal development journey,
If it's a real,
Authentic one,
Is initially you begin to see how ludicrously crazy the world consciousness,
The mass consciousness is.
I think most people can relate to this.
When you've suffered enough and you want to break free of the chains of suffering,
One of the first things you'll do is you'll start to notice on the news,
On the media,
When you go shopping.
How the mass consciousness there's like a glaze that is over people's eyes There's almost like a glaze over people's eyes and you begin to notice dysfunction.
You begin to notice abusive behavior.
You become more sensitive.
Usually this is people who've experienced abuse themselves or they've experienced.
The harsh side of life because At the end of the day,
This this simulation this video game this movie that we call human incarnation that we're all in right now It is a cyclical suffering.
Factory you could call it.
And by the way,
The end game is beautiful bliss.
I'm not going to get too heavy for you guys.
Like the end stage of this is emancipation.
In Buddhism,
They call it Nirvana.
The end game is that we eventually return to our ultimate free spirit and we find ourselves back in our true home.
But while we are here,
This this plane of existence It is harsh.
It is brutal.
I did tell you guys that I don't beat around the bush in the sense that A lot of spiritual guru people will tell you that this earth is love.
It's pure love,
Nothing else.
It's love and light.
It's rainbows and it's unicorns.
But the truth of life when you remove all the BS and the distractions is that each individual sits in a state of friction if you remove all the distractions If you don't eat for three days,
If you decide to do a spiritually motivated fast.
You will arrive at a place of suffering.
From a Buddhist standpoint,
It will be called Dukkha.
Suffering this this world is a is a dualistic expression of the whole and what does that mean sounds a bit abstract it's not abstract i'll unpack it for you guys don't forget to click follow in this earth we have love we have light we have beauty we have kindness,
But It's a law because everything is duality as above so below.
There is height,
There is density,
There is suffering There is violence.
There is misery and those two polarities exist.
The human plane of existence,
Particularly on the human plane.
Particularly on the human plane.
Because if you look out into the world,
Into nature,
You've got thousands of different species of animals and their body,
Their brain and nervous system doesn't channel the degree of emotion and experience that a human tool can.
Think of the human body and the brain like a computer.
We're fairly advanced on an earthly level,
On a material level.
As far as we're aware,
We are the most advanced earthly creature in terms of processing power.
But with that comes the capacity to channel.
Two very wide spectrums of energy you could call it or expression you've got love and you've got hate love and hate love and fear let's call it love and fear Take a dog.
My little girl Rosie here.
Her processing power,
Bless her heart.
Is much less.
Her physical hardware.
She's asleep now.
I'm not going to pick her up.
Make her uncomfortable i'll show you her later if you stick around a dog's technology a dog's hardware is much less than ours so they have much less capability to embody and express these two spectrums of frequency,
Love and fear.
Humans we are a gnarly complex organism and we really can express such a wide range of acts.
Everybody here possesses the capability to channel a wide range of emotions,
Love and fear.
And that's why when we load up our computers,
When we load up the TV,
When we load up media,
We do see a lot of negative acts.
Why do we see so much hate and suffering in our lifetimes?
Well,
If we look at Hindu cosmology.
Hindu cosmology is an ancient way of looking at cycles,
Human civilization cycles,
Human consciousness cycles.
We as a species go through different ages.
We go through dark ages.
We go through light ages.
And in these ages,
We are able to channel more love or more hate and fear.
So in a light age,
Let's call it,
Most of the population.
75 to 100 percent and it's a science by the way they they treated it like a science 75% to 100% of humanity is in a state of connection to soul,
Connection to spirit.
Easily.
No you don't have to like work hard for it.
Right now,
According to Hindu cosmology,
We're in the opposite of a light age.
We're in a dark age.
We're in the Kali Yuga,
Depending on how you want to pronounce it.
And that means that it's a flipped paradigm.
It means that darkness and heaviness is much easier to express.
Whereas the light,
The love,
The soul is diluted very heavily.
It's harder to access.
And I think if any of you are really.
.
.
Honest with yourselves in how you've experienced life up until this moment.
That resonates deeply,
Doesn't it?
Why is it that humanity is so easily capable of expressing violence,
Hate.
Fear and even if you're not a horrible torturer person Why is it that it's so easy to slip into fear?
Rather than love we all have love in our hearts we all have the capacity to express love but it is there's a kind of a gravitational pull towards the fear And again,
You have to be very honest and authentic with.
Your tuning because this is all like a question of tuning like a musical instrument Us humans were under so many forces cosmologically.
We're never just in a state of equilibrium right now as I've said we're in a dark age it's much easier for us to tune into a frequency of density so ultimately One has to be very disciplined with media consumption.
Resist the urge to load up your phone.
Resist the urge to consume the filth that is mass consciousness media.
Because in the real world stuff goes on that is an expression of the Kali Yuga dark age fear,
Hate,
Misery And so why would you,
If you truly love yourself,
You have to ask yourself,
Why would you consume the media content,
Which is a reflection of that mass consciousness?
And the answer is don't do it.
It might take a bit of time because.
We almost have to wean ourselves off toxicity.
We become addicted to the filth.
I know this is deep.
I know this is deep.
It might be a bit heavy.
We do become addicted to it.
So it does take some time to wean off.
The trash.
