Welcome back to the 13th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!
Today’s episode titled “Empty Your Mind with This Simple Procedure Right Now!” will tell you how I cracked the code of central fixation of the mind.
Once I had successfully cracked the code of instant central fixation of the body, I obviously moved on to cracking the code of instant central fixation of the mind. It was as important as other central fixations if not more since the mind seemed to affect every single domain of human life negatively or else positively.
But the very first thing that I got confronted with was ascertaining what exactly it meant.
Central fixation of the eyes and central fixation of the body had very clear tangible definitions that started them.
But how would I define central fixation of the mind in a tangible manner without going abstract about it?
SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our skeleton can take through the way it postures its joints.
I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally
It took me quite a few years to analyze it fully, and then a few more to turn the results of my analysis into a feasible action plan.
I come up with a new weekly episode every Tuesday morning for miraculous healing enthusiasts to effectively start their weekdays with what they like the most!

Mind is the reviewing faculty
of brain. It never views. It
0:00:06.080,0:00:21.920
only re-views what the brain has
already viewed and acted upon.
0:00:21.920,0:00:26.400
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap:
0:00:26.400,0:00:34.160
A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.
0:00:34.160,0:00:41.840
Today’s episode will tell you how I cracked the
code of instant central fixation of the mind.
0:00:41.840,0:00:47.680
Once I had successfully cracked the code
of instant central fixation of the body,
0:00:47.680,0:00:53.200
I obviously moved on to cracking the code
of instant central fixation of the mind.
0:00:53.920,0:00:59.200
It was as important as other central
fixations if not more since the mind
0:00:59.200,0:01:06.160
seemed to affect every single domain of
human life negatively or else positively.
0:01:06.160,0:01:13.520
But the very first thing that I got confronted
with was ascertaining what exactly it meant.
0:01:13.520,0:01:19.920
Central fixation of the eyes and central fixation
of the body had very clear tangible definitions
0:01:19.920,0:01:26.880
that started them. Central fixation of the eyes had
meant seeing the best what our eyes were looking
0:01:26.880,0:01:35.040
at and they did so through making the image of
the object being seen exactly at fovea on retina.
0:01:35.040,0:01:41.200
Central fixation of the body had meant doing
the best what our body did while moving or even
0:01:41.200,0:01:47.600
without moving in space through centering itself
at its core two inches below the navel and keeping
0:01:47.600,0:01:54.160
it vertically in line with the sole of the feet.
But how would I define central fixation
0:01:54.160,0:01:59.520
of the mind in a tangible manner
without going abstract about it?
0:01:59.520,0:02:07.120
First of all, I needed to define what exactly
the word ‘mind’ meant. It was certainly different
0:02:07.120,0:02:14.560
from brain which we could very tangibly locate
inside the skull. Every single thing that went
0:02:14.560,0:02:24.800
inside it, though complex yet could exactly be
monitored. But that was not the case with mind.
0:02:24.800,0:02:27.360
I kept wondering what mind exactly meant. I
realized that the human linguistic culture
0:02:27.360,0:02:33.360
all over the world had introduced this entity
as a concept to the intellectual perception of
0:02:33.360,0:02:42.720
our species en masse. And that too, without
ever clearly defining what it exactly was!
0:02:42.720,0:02:50.960
Was it a colloquial term given to awareness,
the most basic tenet of life? If yes,
0:02:50.960,0:02:59.200
as it sounded quite plausible, what were
its contents? As I tried to scan them all,
0:02:59.200,0:03:03.840
it immediately struck to me that I couldn’t
have scanned the contents of my brain in a
0:03:03.840,0:03:11.040
likewise manner including all its processes
that made it work. Although the brain was a
0:03:11.040,0:03:18.640
tangible organ with tangible working processes,
it couldn’t be the part of awareness. Hence,
0:03:18.640,0:03:24.160
the brain and the mind ought
to be two different entities.
0:03:24.160,0:03:31.200
While scanning the mind (actually my mind was
scanning itself!), I first of all realized
0:03:31.200,0:03:39.920
that it was aware of its awareness. But I was up
to scanning what the contents of its awareness
0:03:39.920,0:03:47.440
that it was aware of were. The first thing
I found there was the awareness of thoughts.
0:03:48.800,0:03:56.960
There were all kinds of them in its awareness.
The thoughts it liked, the thoughts it disliked,
0:03:56.960,0:04:03.920
the thoughts it feared, the thoughts it desired
to turn into actions, the thoughts it revered,
0:04:03.920,0:04:10.640
the thoughts it repulsed and the thoughts it just
cognized without obviously feeling anything about
0:04:10.640,0:04:19.600
them! There were so many of them there that
I wouldn’t be able to count if I decided so.
0:04:19.600,0:04:26.320
Was my mind thinking them right there and
then perceiving them as thoughts? But if it
0:04:26.320,0:04:34.480
was thinking them right there and then, what was
the brain doing sitting idle doing nothing? Also,
0:04:34.480,0:04:41.680
thinking was supposed to be a process inside the
brain and not inside the mind. In any case, the
0:04:41.680,0:04:48.800
mind would never have initiated thinking what it
disliked, feared or repulsed without any sensual
0:04:48.800,0:04:56.720
perception of them. Moreover, it couldn’t even
perceive anything on its own as the perception was
0:04:56.720,0:05:03.840
initiated through the sense organs taking their
information direct to the brain, not to the mind.
0:05:04.640,0:05:10.240
It meant that the thoughts that it disliked,
feared or repulsed were already sitting there
0:05:10.240,0:05:17.040
inside it along with the thoughts that
it liked, desired to turn into actions,
0:05:17.040,0:05:25.360
or revered and also the ones that it just cognized
without obviously feeling anything about them.
0:05:25.360,0:05:32.160
What were they doing sitting over there?
They were keeping the mind busy. But why
0:05:32.160,0:05:37.920
did they need to keep it busy? Why didn’t
they disappear so that the mind could take
0:05:37.920,0:05:46.000
some rest? I very well perceived that they were
tiring the mind. Suddenly it occurred to me that
0:05:46.000,0:05:53.200
they needed to settle their scores and that was
why they weren’t letting my mind take a rest.
0:05:53.200,0:05:59.520
Suddenly I felt hungry. I walked over to the
kitchen and picked up some snacks to munch.
0:05:59.520,0:06:06.320
Then again I started scanning my mind.
Suddenly it again occurred to me that there
0:06:06.320,0:06:13.520
was no thought of being hungry any more.
It was a discovery. Whatever had happened
0:06:13.520,0:06:20.560
‘suddenly’ during the past few seconds, wasn’t a
part of my thought process keeping my mind busy.
0:06:20.560,0:06:28.320
It just happened and immediately got resolved.
Something just occurring to me suddenly was an
0:06:28.320,0:06:36.880
insight that my brain had handed over to my mind.
And it didn’t need keeping my mind busy any more.
0:06:36.880,0:06:44.960
Similarly, suddenly feeling hungry was an instinct
needing to get satiated. And once it was satiated,
0:06:44.960,0:06:51.280
there was no need for it to keep my mind
busy any more hence it readily disappeared.
0:06:52.080,0:06:59.520
It meant that the thoughts which were keeping
my mind busy came from unresolved issues. Most
0:06:59.520,0:07:05.440
of them were evoking my emotions or my moral
obligations whether these emotions or moral
0:07:05.440,0:07:14.640
obligations were welcome or unwelcome. My insights
would never have turned into emotions or morals as
0:07:14.640,0:07:21.920
their very process of coming into existence was
their own resolution. But if my hunger were not
0:07:21.920,0:07:28.880
satiated for long either owing to a lack of food
or a moral obligation, it could certainly have
0:07:28.880,0:07:36.720
turned either into an emotion or a moral avoidance
depending on why it hadn’t been satiated.
0:07:36.720,0:07:43.120
My brain (not my mind) suddenly
rewarded me with another insight again.
0:07:43.840,0:07:50.400
It said, “Emotions are merely welcome or
unwelcome thoughts imagining satiation
0:07:50.400,0:07:59.680
of unfulfilled instincts. Morals are welcome or
unwelcome beliefs stopping or limiting instincts
0:07:59.680,0:08:08.000
from getting fully satiated and thus keeping them
unfulfilled as they appear from within. Instincts
0:08:08.000,0:08:15.440
are not thoughts, they are just the energetic
drives demanding action to satiate them.”
0:08:15.440,0:08:22.880
This all must have generated a host of moralistic
and emotional fragments and sub-fragments fighting
0:08:22.880,0:08:29.840
against one another in order to come out
as winners for their petty concerns. And
0:08:29.840,0:08:37.360
unfortunately it would have turned awareness into
a hub of unresolved issues making life a painful
0:08:37.360,0:08:45.040
experience rather than a joyful excursion.
Thus awareness aka mind was given the charge
0:08:45.040,0:08:52.400
to honor instincts alone through reporting their
demands to the brain as perceptions from within in
0:08:52.400,0:09:00.240
order to get them satiated by the action the brain
took via its motor neural structure. The mind was
0:09:00.240,0:09:06.400
meant to review all those actions and pass it
on to the instincts in order to feel satiated
0:09:06.400,0:09:12.560
and thus enjoy its experience of living as an
individual in collaboration with other individuals
0:09:12.560,0:09:21.840
around. But it extended its area of control and
overstuffed itself with morals and emotions thus
0:09:21.840,0:09:30.880
dividing itself in ever-fighting fragments turning
life into an experience of strife rather than joy.
0:09:30.880,0:09:37.520
Here is what I came out with what
we experience all around us today…
0:09:37.520,0:09:44.400
Mind is the reviewing faculty of brain. It
never views. It only re-views what the brain
0:09:44.400,0:09:52.560
has already viewed and acted upon. It happens
efficiently, provided this reviewing faculty
0:09:52.560,0:09:59.280
hasn’t negatively affected the spontaneous
perception and action taken by the brain.
0:09:59.280,0:10:05.120
Why is reviewing required?
Reviewing is required to give a
0:10:05.120,0:10:11.280
subjective meaning to the psychedelic perceptions
and automatic actions effected by brain.
0:10:12.400,0:10:17.440
This subjective meaning imparts life with
a sense of individual entity having a free
0:10:17.440,0:10:25.760
will of its own. It makes an individual life
a uniquely comprehensible story and thus makes
0:10:25.760,0:10:36.000
it interesting to this reviewer that mind is.
But there is a serious caveat here. The reviewer
0:10:36.000,0:10:43.120
aka the mind, finds it so interesting that it
holds this review as being the real perception
0:10:43.120,0:10:52.080
and the real action. It decides to exercise its
free will which ultimately turns into ego that the
0:10:52.080,0:10:59.920
mind subjectively starts identifying itself with.
Even this wouldn’t have been much of a problem,
0:10:59.920,0:11:07.520
had this free will not been contaminated. Most
often, it gets contaminated by an element of
0:11:07.520,0:11:15.920
fear that stems from an overrated core of life
preservative instincts. Life is born with the
0:11:15.920,0:11:22.880
fear of losing its instinctual preservation.
It’s this fear that’s at the root of
0:11:22.880,0:11:28.400
contaminating this free will making
it work as a proverbial selfish gene.
0:11:29.040,0:11:33.280
It gets subjectively attached to
its own faulty apprehensions of
0:11:33.280,0:11:38.880
what constitutes a threat to life.
This fear is a reaction to something
0:11:38.880,0:11:46.000
that is not a real danger and the brain may not
even perceive it as a real threat. It’s rather a
0:11:46.000,0:11:53.200
conceived threat that the contaminated free will
of the reviewer attaches to its comprehension.
0:11:54.000,0:12:01.120
The contaminated free will is not as intelligent
as the spontaneous brain. Along with the instinct
0:12:01.120,0:12:08.960
of self preservation, brain also hands over a
complete list of other instincts to the reviewer.
0:12:08.960,0:12:16.080
This is done so that the mind can review, cognize
and comprehend them all as the basic tenets of
0:12:16.080,0:12:26.000
life, like hunger, thirst, excretion, curiosity,
movement, playfulness, adventure, interaction,
0:12:26.000,0:12:34.880
grouping, love, sex, reproduction and parenting.
All these different instincts need to be given
0:12:34.880,0:12:42.880
exclusive emphases in an overall inclusive
manner. None of them less, none of them more!
0:12:42.880,0:12:48.160
But as we saw, the reviewer gets subjectively
attached to its faulty apprehensions of threat
0:12:48.160,0:12:55.920
to life. It does so at the cost of ignoring and
at times even suppressing a few other instincts.
0:12:56.720,0:13:02.800
The main victims to this fear of the
mind are the instincts of sex, adventure,
0:13:02.800,0:13:11.680
curiosity and interaction. It considers them
as challenging self preservation. Sex is such
0:13:11.680,0:13:20.240
a strong instinct as can make one even ignore
one’s safety and security. In fact sex should
0:13:20.240,0:13:26.880
fall under the category of death instincts as
opposed to the instincts of self preservation.
0:13:27.760,0:13:34.480
(This categorization of mine is in contrast with
the categorization conceived by Sigmund Freud as
0:13:34.480,0:13:42.640
life instincts and death drives or thanatos.
In fact, he had earlier started working along
0:13:42.640,0:13:50.880
the idea of death instincts before he moved on
to conceptualize thanatos. And at that time,
0:13:50.880,0:13:54.960
he had categorized sex as one
of the prime death instincts.
0:13:56.640,0:14:03.520
These were conceived as death instincts since they
tended to do away with ego which overemphasized
0:14:03.520,0:14:12.880
instincts of self-preservation. As per this
initial concept, mind – as ego – apprehends
0:14:12.880,0:14:20.800
these death instincts as capable of killing its
hegemonic existence. Obviously, since they could
0:14:20.800,0:14:28.400
jeopardize life at times, it would never be
ready to welcome or even accept them. And even
0:14:28.400,0:14:36.160
when it does so, it does in a very lukewarm and
half-hearted way. I find this earlier concept of
0:14:36.160,0:14:43.680
Freud as more meaningful than his later concepts
in his conceptual journey. Hence I have developed
0:14:43.680,0:14:51.280
my concepts along his earlier line of thought.)
As a result, human culture and society tag
0:14:51.280,0:14:58.240
sex as the basic sin, acting from
that fearful mind’s apprehensions.
0:14:58.240,0:15:04.880
The same is true of the passion and joy of
adventure. Adventure is an instinctual drive
0:15:04.880,0:15:12.960
to jump into an experience that is unknown. The
more the passion, the less one is susceptible to
0:15:12.960,0:15:21.040
get tamed. We can tame a bullock but never
a bull. Human culture and society that are
0:15:21.040,0:15:28.400
constructed over the most basic foundations
of the fear needed to tame their individuals.
0:15:28.400,0:15:34.560
If they don’t get tamed, they may jump into
life-threatening adventures out of passion.
0:15:35.280,0:15:42.480
Adventure and safety are two diametrically
opposite things. In fact, passion and joy are the
0:15:42.480,0:15:51.040
hallmark of all death instincts, sex and adventure
being the most magnetic among those. That’s how
0:15:51.040,0:15:57.680
and why passion and joy are conceptually
closely associated with sex and adventure.
0:15:58.480,0:16:04.720
Curiosity is something that questions culture and
society’s training programs aimed at turning their
0:16:04.720,0:16:11.360
individuals safe and secure. These training
programs do so even at the cost of turning
0:16:11.360,0:16:19.440
them into cogs of ever turning wheels. The human
education system is the worst victim to it where
0:16:19.440,0:16:27.760
students must follow a regimen rather than satiate
their curiosity. Regimen ensures what students
0:16:27.760,0:16:35.120
must know in order to safeguard their future.
On the other hand, curiosity flows like water,
0:16:35.120,0:16:43.360
taking one toward unknown horizons, rewarding
them with insights. That’s when one turns
0:16:43.360,0:16:52.400
truly intelligent. Mind prefers knowledge to
intelligence. But knowledge without intelligence
0:16:52.400,0:16:59.840
and insight amounts to nothing more than
stupidity and nothing less than insensitivity.
0:16:59.840,0:17:06.560
Interaction is another victim to the hegemony
of self-preservation. The more one interacts
0:17:06.560,0:17:12.640
with strangers or unknown situations, the
more one exposes oneself to the risk of
0:17:12.640,0:17:19.520
getting harmed. This apprehended risk gets
generated out of the fear of the unknown.
0:17:20.640,0:17:28.080
Hence human culture and society prefer regimented
relationship to spontaneous interaction.
0:17:28.080,0:17:34.240
Relationship is conditioned, with set protocols to
follow, turning it mechanical and dull sooner than
0:17:34.240,0:17:42.800
later. Interaction is unconditional, creating its
own unique designs every time one has it afresh,
0:17:42.800,0:17:50.880
turning it aesthetically much more creative.
Relationship is safe, interaction is risky. But,
0:17:50.880,0:17:57.200
by the same token, relationship is limited
like swimming in a pond, whereas interaction
0:17:57.200,0:18:02.960
resembles swimming in an ocean.
Hence, human culture and society are
0:18:02.960,0:18:10.160
structured on the foundation of curbing
these instincts either overtly or covertly.
0:18:10.160,0:18:16.480
All four instincts mentioned above surprisingly
fall under the category of death instincts.
0:18:17.120,0:18:23.600
These are the very instincts that kill ego
in the mind. That’s why and how they appear
0:18:23.600,0:18:29.520
to be death instincts to the mind.
When these instincts are suppressed,
0:18:29.520,0:18:36.400
their energy gets suppressed as well.
Mind conjures a powerful tool to do
0:18:36.400,0:18:46.480
so. The superego! This superego comprises
morals that ought to be respected. If not,
0:18:46.480,0:18:52.000
another new structure we call
guilt coaxes it. Surprisingly,
0:18:52.000,0:19:00.080
guilt steals its energy from the energy of fear
which is an emotion, another faculty of mind.
0:19:00.080,0:19:07.600
What happens when energy is suppressed? In fact,
it’s not only suppressed but also repressed at
0:19:07.600,0:19:14.640
times. Repression means pushing the consciousness
of its suppression to the unconscious mind so
0:19:14.640,0:19:21.440
that it just forgets everything about it.
But their energetic content still keeps
0:19:21.440,0:19:29.920
pushing on the doors of the conscious mind. And
whenever it finds an opportunity, it knocks at it.
0:19:30.640,0:19:37.200
It not only knocks, it also enters consciousness
stealthily when the guards sitting at the doors
0:19:37.200,0:19:44.800
are snoozing. That’s what our dreams are.
Not only this, even during their exile
0:19:44.800,0:19:51.760
in the unconscious, these repressed instincts
don’t become fully inactive. They retain their
0:19:51.760,0:19:58.880
capacity to affect the decisions taken by the
unconscious mind against its conscious reasoning.
0:19:59.680,0:20:05.600
A few different morals are constructed to
downgrade the content and energy of repressed
0:20:05.600,0:20:15.360
instincts. The moral of piety downgrades the
powerful instinct of sex. Mind understands how
0:20:15.360,0:20:23.840
powerful and inevitable sex is. Hence it creates
another sub-moral of marriage under the moral of
0:20:23.840,0:20:31.920
piety as a spiritual union. It’s designed to be
a monogamic sexual relationship between one man
0:20:31.920,0:20:39.200
and one woman all through their life. Humans are
not designed to have their sex quota rationed like
0:20:39.200,0:20:48.320
this. But under the respectable pressure of piety,
they accept it at the conscious level. However,
0:20:48.320,0:20:54.160
their unconscious mind always keeps attracting
them to others outside their marriage.
0:20:54.800,0:21:00.160
It’s not only about getting attracted but
also about having sex with them mentally,
0:21:00.160,0:21:07.760
if not physically… and stealthily.
Mind fragments itself in many parts,
0:21:07.760,0:21:14.400
all fighting with one another all day long.
This infighting continually tires ‘us’ even
0:21:14.400,0:21:21.840
when ‘we’ haven’t done that much work to justify
‘our’ tiredness. We never get as tired when we
0:21:21.840,0:21:29.360
enjoy doing something as we do when we don’t enjoy
doing it. In fact, we almost don’t get tired when
0:21:29.360,0:21:36.880
enjoying, even while doing the toughest of jobs.
Mind constructs quite a few other morals to
0:21:36.880,0:21:43.600
covertly downgrade the content and energy
of curiosity and its questioning attitude.
0:21:44.400,0:21:50.480
It does so in the name of obedience,
faith, reverence, loyalty or devotion in
0:21:50.480,0:21:56.320
order to avoid questioning the authority.
What happens to the passion of instincts
0:21:56.320,0:22:05.840
when its joy gets frustrated? Instincts get
distorted by turning into emotions. Consequently,
0:22:05.840,0:22:12.960
instinctual joy of passion turns into the
‘idea’ of joy which we call happiness.
0:22:12.960,0:22:19.120
Happiness needs to be defined as waiting with
some probability to experience joy at some point
0:22:19.120,0:22:25.440
in the future. When we are actually enjoying
something, we don’t need to be ‘happy’ as we
0:22:25.440,0:22:33.200
are simply enjoying it right then and there.
We can enjoy while being sad as well. Like,
0:22:33.200,0:22:39.040
our skin will always enjoy the touch
of winter sun even if we are grieving.
0:22:39.040,0:22:46.320
Ironically, unlike passion, emotions
always exist as pairs of opposites:
0:22:46.320,0:22:50.560
Happiness – Sadness
Bravery – Cowardice
0:22:50.560,0:22:54.800
Courage – Timidity
Confidence – Diffidence
0:22:54.800,0:22:59.200
Hope – Despair
Excitement – Boredom
0:22:59.200,0:23:03.760
Attachment – Detachment
Anger – Guilt
0:23:03.760,0:23:08.240
Pride – Shame
Anxiety – Depression
0:23:08.240,0:23:13.600
Fear – Greed
One might wonder how fear and greed
0:23:13.600,0:23:21.120
are opposite emotions. Isn’t it the fear of losing
that turns us greedy to hoard, in case we lose
0:23:21.120,0:23:30.240
some? Immortality as a greedy concept has always
been an antithesis of the fear of losing life.
0:23:30.240,0:23:35.040
Psychology tends to categorize
emotions as positive and negative,
0:23:35.040,0:23:42.880
always siding with the positive ones. But they
are the two sides of the same coin. In fact,
0:23:42.880,0:23:49.600
the negative ones are more basic, born out
of the frustration of passion. Their positive
0:23:49.600,0:23:57.360
counterparts are just feel-good facades that
we wear so as not to get intimidated by them.
0:23:57.360,0:24:05.440
Let me give another example here. Psychology tells
us to be confident instead of being diffident.
0:24:06.160,0:24:14.720
How does being confident help us? Let’s take a
hypothetical example. Suppose you and I are to
0:24:14.720,0:24:22.560
arrive at an interview for the same job.
And both of us are equally confident. So
0:24:22.560,0:24:28.800
our confidence isn’t going to help both of us
at all, simply because one of us is bound to
0:24:28.800,0:24:37.600
lose. And even if both of us are diffident,
one of us is bound to win. So this advice of
0:24:37.600,0:24:43.600
being confident is mathematically wrong.
We desire to be confident only because we
0:24:43.600,0:24:50.720
are basically diffident. Isn’t it a better
thing to be neither and just be natural,
0:24:50.720,0:24:59.040
ready to face what naturally comes to us?
That’s what the futility of all emotions is. They
0:24:59.040,0:25:07.840
are not natural. They are the constructs of ideas
and not the realities behind them. Satiating real
0:25:07.840,0:25:16.080
instincts generates passion and joy instead of
emotions like happiness. Happiness as an emotion
0:25:16.080,0:25:24.000
plays with the idea of joy rather than real joy,
which only passion can generate. Being happy for
0:25:24.000,0:25:32.000
the next moment instead of enjoying this very one
is like masturbating instead of having real sex.
0:25:32.000,0:25:38.960
Everyone always feels like they are missing
something in life but no one really knows what!
0:25:38.960,0:25:46.800
What we all are missing is joy right now, which
only passion can generate, not any emotions.
0:25:46.800,0:25:53.280
Psychology of the mind has made it an unnaturally
complex pattern that is much bigger than what
0:25:53.280,0:26:01.360
it really is – a reviewer. It negatively affects
the brain’s physiology through its nervous system
0:26:01.360,0:26:06.400
across the entire body.
Let’s see how.
0:26:06.400,0:26:10.960
The mind, in its evolution along
human culture and human society,
0:26:10.960,0:26:18.400
has fragmented itself into many parts. These
fragmented parts are always in a state of war
0:26:18.400,0:26:26.880
with one another. The result is that they keep
wasting their energy. As a further result, the
0:26:26.880,0:26:34.640
organism is thrown into a state that lacks energy.
Anatomically, this shows up as a habitually
0:26:34.640,0:26:43.200
unnatural posture of the skeleton, especially
at its joints. The skeleton does this to itself,
0:26:43.200,0:26:51.760
through the mind, by drooping its 360 joints
down and tucking them ‘in’. (In the army training
0:26:51.760,0:26:58.880
throughout the world, they go a step further in
a dangerous way. They train soldiers in tucking
0:26:58.880,0:27:06.240
the skeleton ‘out’ while it is still drooping
down. No one has yet analyzed that it turns
0:27:06.240,0:27:12.880
them aggressively violent rather than passively
sensitive. But it has been serving their purpose
0:27:12.880,0:27:19.920
of turning their soldiers ‘brave’ and they are
happy with it.) This gets further worsened by the
0:27:19.920,0:27:25.440
muscles in their vicinity getting rigidified
and thus changing their habitual anatomy.
0:27:26.000,0:27:31.760
Both these structural changes affect nerves
and blood vessels attached to them thereby
0:27:31.760,0:27:38.160
changing their habitual anatomy as well.
And this is what gives birth to those infamous
0:27:38.160,0:27:45.680
closed chakras – or as I call them, just chakras
- all along the length of the spinal cord. If
0:27:45.680,0:27:51.840
we look at it from a neurological perspective,
it stops the vagus nerve from carrying signals
0:27:51.840,0:27:58.720
effectively. They block the much needed dialogue
between the gut and the brain to keep the nervous
0:27:58.720,0:28:06.400
system functioning properly. That’s how the
materialistic approach to life looks at it.
0:28:06.400,0:28:10.880
Let’s look at it from the angle of the
vitalistic approach to life and the mind
0:28:10.880,0:28:17.600
body system. Surprisingly, the vitalistic
approach also talks of closed chakras along
0:28:17.600,0:28:23.840
the spinal cord that block the flow of
Kundalini. Kundalini is the life-energy
0:28:23.840,0:28:30.720
designed to flow through the nerve named Sushumna
along the spinal cord. The brain works optimally
0:28:30.720,0:28:36.880
when Kundalini flows unblocked through Sushumna
between the root chakra (in the vicinity of gut)
0:28:36.880,0:28:43.840
and the crown chakra (in the vicinity of brain).
The similarity in the physiological descriptions
0:28:43.840,0:28:51.120
of two diametrically opposite philosophical
approaches to life has always intrigued me.
0:28:51.120,0:28:58.240
Maybe the two approaches are ways of looking
into the same reality from two different angles!
0:28:58.240,0:29:03.360
Time will tell.
Regardless, the deformed psychology of
0:29:03.360,0:29:10.560
the mental structure affects the physiology of the
human body negatively. It compromises the capacity
0:29:10.560,0:29:18.320
of the tenth cranial nerve to carry signals,
i.e., Kundalini, in an uninhibited manner.
0:29:18.320,0:29:23.840
The result is a physiologically compromised
nervous system of which the brain is the most
0:29:23.840,0:29:32.880
central organ. That’s how a compromised mind
compromises the brain as well. The brain loses
0:29:32.880,0:29:40.640
its spontaneity to think in the moment as the
mind pushes it toward past and future thoughts.
0:29:40.640,0:29:44.160
What’s the way out?
Either we change the
0:29:44.160,0:29:50.240
psychology of mind or the physiology of
body to put it back on the right track.
0:29:50.240,0:29:54.400
If the mind can affect the body
negatively, the body can affect
0:29:54.400,0:30:00.880
the mind as well and positively, at that.
Changing the psychology of the mind is
0:30:00.880,0:30:08.720
an uphill task, mainly because it’s vague. It
very easily makes us stray along its functional
0:30:08.720,0:30:15.600
complexities without even giving any feedback.
Thus, It keeps us blindly guessing if we are on
0:30:15.600,0:30:24.160
the right track or not. The probability of being
right is way less than being wrong. It’s because
0:30:24.160,0:30:32.080
there are many wrong but only one right way and
we are trying to hit the bullseye blindfolded.
0:30:32.080,0:30:37.680
On the other hand, let’s look at a
miraculous physical activity that changes
0:30:37.680,0:30:46.160
the psychology of the mind instantaneously.
Skydiving, apart from being an awesome sport,
0:30:46.160,0:30:53.520
is also an awesome physiological meditation.
Under conditions of free fall, people tend to
0:30:53.520,0:31:01.600
stop breathing. Although they CAN breathe but they
don’t need to. Whatever little oxygen they require
0:31:01.600,0:31:09.360
is absorbed by their skin through osmosis in their
system. Its only limitation is that it’s there
0:31:09.360,0:31:17.040
only for the duration of 6-7 minutes it takes
to touch the ground. As this intense experience
0:31:17.040,0:31:24.400
instantly changes the body’s physiology, it
also instantly changes the mind’s psychology.
0:31:24.400,0:31:29.120
Here is a firsthand account
of a first-time skydiver:
0:31:29.120,0:31:40.960
“I was OUT… everything mentally ended… over…
started… me… perhaps more dead than alive…
0:31:40.960,0:31:50.720
perhaps more alive than I will ever be… breathing
just as I had been taught… wind… wind and breath…
0:31:50.720,0:31:58.880
until wind and breath became indiscernible,
became as one… and yes, almost weightless…
0:31:58.880,0:32:06.320
it was true! … weightless and so surreal…
there was the earth, neither coming at me,
0:32:06.320,0:32:17.360
nor me at it, … no up… no down… no me, in the ego
sense of me, just some thoughtless consciousness…
0:32:17.360,0:32:25.440
and yes, it was awesome simply to be… or not.
The sky was in my lungs and it never once
0:32:25.440,0:32:32.400
occurred to me would the parachute open.”
Sounds like the skydiver is describing an
0:32:32.400,0:32:39.600
out-of-body experience instead of a free fall!
We may be moved to think it was actually so
0:32:39.600,0:32:46.960
if not for the references to wind, earth and
the parachute. Swiss scientists have recently
0:32:46.960,0:32:54.720
discovered something. They sent a very weak
current to the back, right part of the brain.
0:32:54.720,0:33:02.560
It triggered an out-of-body experience (OBE)
for the patient. This OBE is also associated
0:33:02.560,0:33:10.080
with the sense of levitation. They found that it
could be recreated at will whenever a particular
0:33:10.080,0:33:17.840
part of the brain was stimulated by an electric
current. Scientists also say that a human body has
0:33:17.840,0:33:26.160
a naturally weak electric field. Its disruption
causes disease. Therefore, drugs are being
0:33:26.160,0:33:33.440
designed to restore this weak field. But the exact
nature of this field is not yet fully understood.
0:33:34.080,0:33:41.920
In the process of changing its psychology, the
mind needs to empty itself of all its beliefs,
0:33:41.920,0:33:50.000
including morals and emotions. It needs to be kept
limited to reviewing and comprehending what brain
0:33:50.000,0:33:59.360
supplies it with, i.e., instincts, as an observer
alone. In other words, it needs to turn truly
0:33:59.360,0:34:08.800
agnostic. It’s not easy. It scares the mind to
death, quite literally. The mind really considers
0:34:08.800,0:34:17.520
it as its death. That’s why it stealthily keeps
turning all meditations into new visualizations,
0:34:17.520,0:34:26.400
new imaginations and new beliefs instead of
the old ones. It sheds old beliefs and embraces
0:34:26.400,0:34:33.280
new ones like old wine in a new bottle.
And it does so just in order not to get
0:34:33.280,0:34:40.080
caught for trying to keep its death away.
That’s why and how mental and spiritual
0:34:40.080,0:34:46.320
meditations, at times, get reduced
to performing pious rituals alone.
0:34:46.320,0:34:54.160
Emptying the mind means getting rid of all
its beliefs, habits, fears and desires.
0:34:54.880,0:35:03.280
If we try to do this through conscious mental
effort using our will power, we miserably fail.
0:35:03.280,0:35:10.480
This is because we are trying to kill the mind by
the mind itself. Why would the mind ever commit
0:35:10.480,0:35:20.240
suicide? It’s happy being in control of not only
our psychology but also our biology. It does so
0:35:20.240,0:35:28.800
by turning our perceptions and urges mechanical.
It’s only possible to empty the mind using itself
0:35:28.800,0:35:36.080
when it’s posed with an impending emergency
that it has no solution for. It stops working
0:35:36.080,0:35:43.760
in such an impending scenario. Consequently,
it gets forced to surrender its reign over
0:35:43.760,0:35:51.680
any action that could get rid of it. In such a
situation, the brain takes charge and performs the
0:35:51.680,0:35:58.800
appropriate action to come out of that scenario.
I remember a story from my life when my spirit
0:35:58.800,0:36:06.800
of adventure posed a similar challenge
to my mind. And my mind just resigned.
0:36:06.800,0:36:12.880
But my spirit still went ahead with my brain
alone and faced the challenge with my mind
0:36:12.880,0:36:20.480
held back as it was absolutely emptied.
It was in the year 1992 that I visited a
0:36:20.480,0:36:26.960
beautiful, high altitude valley in the
Himalayas named Manali. I had already
0:36:26.960,0:36:33.360
booked a cottage for a month-long stay
over there. We were three in our family;
0:36:33.360,0:36:41.920
my wife, my six-year-old daughter and I. We were
enjoying our stay, doing something new each day.
0:36:42.640,0:36:50.000
After around ten days, we thought of going on an
unconventional trek in the valley – a trek along
0:36:50.000,0:36:56.720
the untrodden side of the River Beas that flowed
through the valley. There was no road on that
0:36:56.720,0:37:04.000
side of the river. Any roads that existed were
on the other side of the river from our trek.
0:37:04.000,0:37:12.720
Regardless, we started our trek and kept moving
along the river, upstream. After around half an
0:37:12.720,0:37:20.160
hour of our trek, the river got us stuck. It
was taking a sharp turn there after hitting a
0:37:20.160,0:37:27.200
high rock on our side of the trek. So, there
was no way to go further. We were a little
0:37:27.200,0:37:35.920
disappointed. I looked around the hill to the side
of the river. I was looking for a bridle path,
0:37:35.920,0:37:43.040
hoping to climb up a little and then come down
to move further along the river. That way,
0:37:43.040,0:37:50.160
we could have circumvented the sharp turn and
climbed down to the river ahead of the sharp turn.
0:37:50.160,0:37:56.400
As I was investigating the visible bridle
paths, I spotted a man standing at the hilltop
0:37:56.400,0:38:05.120
looking curiously toward us. I shouted,
aiming my voice in his direction, “Hey!”
0:38:05.120,0:38:11.600
“Hey!” the man shouted back from the hilltop.
I explained to him in my sign language
0:38:11.600,0:38:15.680
what we were up to.
Seemingly a local,
0:38:15.680,0:38:22.560
he immediately understood what we wanted. He
threw a fleeting look along the bridle paths
0:38:22.560,0:38:29.280
up the hill. Then he looked down around the
river bend, and then waved at us to climb up.
0:38:30.320,0:38:39.200
As we started climbing up, I spotted him coming
down toward us as well. That surprised me a bit.
0:38:39.200,0:38:47.040
But as we climbed up a little further, I realized
why he had made his way down. As we reached a
0:38:47.040,0:38:54.560
nearly horizontal patch lined up with a nearly
vertical rock, we found him standing up there.
0:38:55.280,0:39:02.160
What a helping spirit combined with curious
involvement! He smiled, sitting atop the
0:39:02.160,0:39:11.440
approximately 7 feet high rock tilted at around
105 degrees from that nearly horizontal patch.
0:39:11.440,0:39:20.080
“I had seen this rock from above and I knew you
would need my help to climb it,” he said, smiling.
0:39:20.080,0:39:27.760
“Thanks a lot!” I felt grateful. As I looked
down once from where we were standing, I found
0:39:27.760,0:39:35.520
us to be exactly over the river-bend which meant
that, by then, we had climbed a few hundred feet.
0:39:35.520,0:39:41.920
The man lied down on his stomach on the
horizontal patch atop the rock. From there,
0:39:41.920,0:39:49.920
he hung his arms down along the slope of the rock.
First, my wife held his hands and I pushed her
0:39:49.920,0:39:56.800
from behind as he pulled her up to the top.
As the patch above the top was comparatively
0:39:56.800,0:40:04.560
narrow, he made her sit a little away on a gentle
slope. Then he came back to the rock-top and lied
0:40:04.560,0:40:12.080
down on his stomach hanging his arms down, again.
This time, I lifted my daughter and pushed her up
0:40:12.080,0:40:19.520
from behind as he pulled her up easily. He made
her sit along with my wife and came back to the
0:40:19.520,0:40:27.120
rock-top again. As he lied down on his stomach
a third time hanging his arms down to pull me
0:40:27.120,0:40:36.000
up now, he realized it wouldn’t work.
“Oh!” he exclaimed, disappointed.
0:40:36.000,0:40:42.080
By then, I too had realized that we
had not accounted for this scenario.
0:40:42.080,0:40:47.280
With my wife and my daughter, I was
there below to push them up. But now,
0:40:47.280,0:40:55.040
I was alone with no one to do the same for me.
The man and I looked into each other’s eyes
0:40:55.040,0:41:00.240
and then down at the river below
flowing with roaring ferocity.
0:41:00.240,0:41:07.120
“We forgot this,” I said.
“Now?” he asked me.
0:41:07.120,0:41:13.680
“It’s risky,” I said with a sigh.
“Disappointing,” he sighed back
0:41:13.680,0:41:20.400
dropping his head on the top of the rock.
“Hey! Is it really impossible?” I looked
0:41:20.400,0:41:29.440
at the height and the slope of the rock.
“Not exactly, but yes, almost!” he opined.
0:41:29.440,0:41:37.760
“Why don’t we do it! I can push myself up with
all my might,” my adventure bug bit me further.
0:41:37.760,0:41:45.440
He looked at me intently, “I don’t bother about
myself. But you have a family along. If you
0:41:45.440,0:41:51.360
aren’t able to make it the very first time, we
both will be down there in the river. We will
0:41:51.360,0:41:58.320
be flown away by its gushing waters… not to be
found even as dead bodies ever! A falling man
0:41:58.320,0:42:04.240
catches at a straw. You won’t even be able
to leave my hand, pulling me down along,”
0:42:04.240,0:42:10.800
he explained what all it could entail.
“Oh, then send them back and we will go
0:42:10.800,0:42:18.080
down the way we came up from,” I felt concerned
about a stranger’s life not to be jeopardized.
0:42:18.080,0:42:25.040
“But I won’t feel good!” he exclaimed as
he looked into my eyes intently again.
0:42:25.040,0:42:30.880
I kept looking back into his.
“Okay, let’s do it. Just take
0:42:30.880,0:42:37.920
care to sync your push with my pull exactly at
the same moment,” he finally gave his verdict.
0:42:37.920,0:42:45.920
“Think twice before you say yes,” I said.
“You too!” came his reply.
0:42:45.920,0:42:51.280
“Ready?” I asked.
“Ready?” he asked.
0:42:51.280,0:43:04.560
We both started counting aloud, “One, two, three!”
As we counted three, I found myself lying along
0:43:04.560,0:43:10.320
him with my head toward his feet up on
the patch at the top of the rock. Two
0:43:10.320,0:43:17.840
sighs of relief from the two of us and we
smiled calmly looking at each other’s face!
0:43:17.840,0:43:24.000
I did it. In fact, my body did
it. I don’t know how I did.
0:43:24.000,0:43:32.080
It was exactly like what that middle-aged mechanic
in my story in episode 11 had done. He too didn’t
0:43:32.080,0:43:38.880
have any clue of how he had done what he had.
My wife and daughter didn’t even come to
0:43:38.880,0:43:45.280
know what we both had come up through.
My mind was just empty as it remained empty
0:43:45.280,0:43:50.560
for a long while after.
But the habits die hard.
0:43:50.560,0:43:57.120
The entire pattern comes back to the same
square one once the emergency gets over.
0:43:57.120,0:44:02.880
Hence though imminent emergencies can empty
our mind in a flash of a second, they aren’t
0:44:02.880,0:44:10.560
a permanent modus operandi. But yes, they can give
us an instant glimpse of what an empty mind feels
0:44:10.560,0:44:18.320
and works like. They can certainly demonstrate
the superiority of any action done on our part
0:44:18.320,0:44:26.000
without any doubt about it. That was what had
happened in the above-mentioned story as well as
0:44:26.000,0:44:35.200
in the mechanic’s story mentioned in episode 11.
But then, how can the mind be permanently emptied?
0:44:35.200,0:44:41.200
Remember the firsthand account of a first
timer in skydiving quoted before above?
0:44:41.200,0:44:49.440
I repeat it here for your convenience…
“I was OUT… everything mentally ended…
0:44:49.440,0:44:59.840
over… started… me… perhaps more dead than alive…
perhaps more alive than I will ever be… breathing
0:44:59.840,0:45:09.440
just as I had been taught… wind… wind and breath…
until wind and breath became indiscernible, became
0:45:09.440,0:45:19.520
as one… and yes, almost weightless… it was true!
… weightless and so surreal… there was the earth,
0:45:19.520,0:45:28.800
neither coming at me, nor me at it, … no
up… no down… no me, in the ego sense of me,
0:45:28.800,0:45:37.120
just some thoughtless consciousness… and
yes, it was awesome simply to be… or not.
0:45:37.120,0:45:44.160
The sky was in my lungs and it never once
occurred to me would the parachute open.”
0:45:44.160,0:45:49.440
It’s a perfect example of a mind
having gone emptied. And what a
0:45:49.440,0:45:54.960
tremendous experience this was!
But unfortunately this too
0:45:54.960,0:46:00.880
stays only for a maximum duration of
6-7 minutes. That’s while the skydiver
0:46:00.880,0:46:07.200
is falling free before the parachute opens.
We could extend this time with the help of a
0:46:07.200,0:46:14.960
virtual reality simulator without even having
a real skydiving session. But how long for?
0:46:14.960,0:46:21.120
We could even consider improving the quality
of virtual free fall simulator as compared to
0:46:21.120,0:46:29.040
a real skydiving session. That could even entail
removing the decelerating effect of air with a
0:46:29.040,0:46:35.840
better control on experiencing acceleration
due to gravity. We could hypothesize that
0:46:35.840,0:46:43.200
such a perfect simulation for a certain minimum
time might empty the mind permanently as well.
0:46:43.200,0:46:47.760
In fact, I am already working on a
project that proposes to testify this
0:46:47.760,0:46:55.120
hypothesis under strict laboratory conditions.
But we cannot wait for this hypothesis to get
0:46:55.120,0:47:02.640
proved correct. We do have a surer method though
a little slower than the proposed hypothesis,
0:47:02.640,0:47:09.440
at least for the time being. One in hand
is always better than two in the bush!
0:47:09.440,0:47:14.960
The code of instant central fixation of the
mind is same as the code of instant kundalini
0:47:14.960,0:47:21.840
awakening / establishing gut-brain communication.
And that’s what I have already mentioned in
0:47:21.840,0:47:29.920
episode 11. The code that sends surges of energy
up the spine from the gut to the brain, empties
0:47:29.920,0:47:37.760
the mind as well. We can easily keep emptying
our mind continuously with every single extended
0:47:37.760,0:47:45.600
exhalation when all our chakras are open. From a
vitalistic angle, it amounts to sending periodical
0:47:45.600,0:47:53.360
surges of kundalini from an open root chakra to
an open crown chakra. From a materialistic angle,
0:47:53.360,0:48:00.240
it amounts to sending periodical surges of
neural communication from the gut to the brain.
0:48:00.240,0:48:05.840
Whatever it might be, but it does fill the
crown of the head with inexplicable joy
0:48:05.840,0:48:13.360
with every single extended exhalation. Along
with joy, it also embellishes the brain with
0:48:13.360,0:48:20.800
newer energy and newer insights. And every
surge of this inexplicable joy keeps the
0:48:20.800,0:48:29.440
mind emptied for its duration, in fact a little
longer. Before it starts waning, the next surge
0:48:29.440,0:48:36.560
appears with the next extended exhalation,
reinforcing the mind’s emptiness again.
0:48:36.560,0:48:43.520
In case we ever miss the sequence, the hell isn’t
going to fall loose on earth. We can again pick
0:48:43.520,0:48:50.960
the thread of breath from wherever it right
now is and restart the sequence once again.
