		<description>SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our skeleton can take the way it habitually 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. 

And now, SKELETAL LEAP is that feasible action plan for self healing, resulting in mental health and wellness as well as physical health and fitness.

I come up with a new weekly episode every Tuesday for miraculous healing enthusiasts to start their weekly off-days with what they like the most!

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 34th episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled "Manifesting A Cool Heaven on Earth with Skeletal Leap!" will tell you about manifesting a collective heaven on earth via a paradigm shift in everything we do whether biologically or socioculturally.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">If we want peace on earth, we first need to have our minds at peace..</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">It is only possible by emptying the mind and returning it to the job that it has been designed for.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 34th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode titled "Manifesting a Collective Heaven on Earth with Skeletal Leap!", I explore the profound connection between individual transformation and collective evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we stand at this pivotal evolutionary juncture, I explain the significance of achieving inner peace as a precursor to world peace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through the lens of Skeletal Leap, I discover how emptying the mind and aligning with our natural instincts can unlock the true potential of our intelligence, leading to spontaneous and joyful actions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The episode highlights the urgent need for a collective push toward a new consciousness—a movement that can dismantle outdated socio-cultural institutions and guide humanity toward a harmonious existence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also contemplate the challenges faced by pioneers of this new paradigm and how they might navigate a world that often contradicts their enlightened perspectives.</p>





<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The role of individual transformation in creating a collective heaven</li>



<li>The importance of aligning our actions with our instincts for a joyful life</li>



<li>How a shift in consciousness can lead to the dissolution of harmful sociocultural structures</li>



<li>The potential for a world without borders, fostering unity over division</li>



<li>Innovative proposals for reimagining societal institutions like marriage and sports</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:01.120,0:00:06.000
I think our species, at this&nbsp;
evolutionary juncture of time,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:06.000,0:00:12.080
is the apt custodian of life on the sole&nbsp;
‘living planet’ in the entire known universe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:21.640,0:00:27.520
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to&nbsp;
“Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:28.400,0:00:32.560
Skeletal Leap transforms one’s&nbsp;
life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:33.840,0:00:39.280
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
manifesting a collective heaven on earth</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:39.280,0:00:45.440
via a paradigm shift in everything we do&nbsp;
whether biologically or socioculturally.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:46.760,0:00:52.480
If we want peace on earth, we first&nbsp;
need to have our minds at peace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:54.040,0:00:59.120
It is only possible by emptying the mind&nbsp;
and returning it to the job that it has</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:59.120,0:01:05.880
been designed for. The said job is to review&nbsp;
the psychedelic perceptions of the brain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:05.880,0:01:09.760
and comprehend them while staying&nbsp;
in tune with human instincts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:11.080,0:01:16.360
The actions are all taken by the brain&nbsp;
itself in an instantly spontaneous way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:17.600,0:01:22.840
The combination of all natural instincts&nbsp;
and curious perception arising from the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:22.840,0:01:28.600
ultimate intelligence of our human brain&nbsp;
automatically leads to spontaneous action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:29.880,0:01:36.000
This intelligence doesn’t bother about being&nbsp;
morally good or bad, it is simply beautiful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:36.000,0:01:41.840
and creates passionate joy in life.
An intelligent brain is the ultimate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:41.840,0:01:47.280
state that Homo sapiens can achieve by&nbsp;
taking the next step in their evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:48.520,0:01:54.480
Real intelligence facilitates a joyful life&nbsp;
resulting in a beautiful and a peaceful mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:55.760,0:02:00.160
A beautiful and a peaceful&nbsp;
mind makes love, not war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:01.480,0:02:05.680
Skeletal Leap ensures everything&nbsp;
falls into its right place to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:05.680,0:02:15.000
enable just that - an intelligent brain.
Good is a mere concept, beauty is the sheer joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:16.400,0:02:20.360
One more thing…
Just like lifestyle diseases,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:20.360,0:02:26.520
faultily designed sociocultural institutions&nbsp;
are also erected upon very shaky foundations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:27.400,0:02:32.720
One collective push, and they will all&nbsp;
come crumbling down within no time!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.080,0:02:40.280
The said collective push has its roots deeply&nbsp;
ingrained in central fixation through Skeletal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:40.280,0:02:49.680
Leap. An individual Skeletal Leap leads to our&nbsp;
personal heaven in life. A collective Skeletal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:49.680,0:02:56.840
Leap has a potential to lead us, the Homo sapiens,&nbsp;
to our sociocultural heaven on the planet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:58.120,0:03:03.320
Soon our planet may hopefully have a sufficient&nbsp;
number of people already having taken their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:03.320,0:03:10.640
Skeletal Leaps. A new stream of a superior&nbsp;
consciousness may pave its way into the corridors</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:10.640,0:03:17.600
of the existing sociocultural stream. Once it&nbsp;
reaches a critical number of people having taken</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:17.600,0:03:23.600
their Skeletal Leaps, this new consciousness&nbsp;
is poised to become an inevitable force.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:25.080,0:03:30.240
What about those who have taken their Skeletal&nbsp;
Leaps before this critical number is reached?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.640,0:03:36.160
How will they cope with the ways of the&nbsp;
world that go against their newly acquired</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:36.160,0:03:42.840
emancipated nature? Will they feel isolated&nbsp;
under the pressure of presently prevailing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:42.840,0:03:49.240
competitive ways of the world? How will they&nbsp;
balance their peaceful lives with the coercive</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:49.240,0:03:54.880
demands of the present sociocultural&nbsp;
structures? Will they be ridiculed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:54.880,0:04:00.760
when they step out of the rat race that is the&nbsp;
hallmark of our present sociocultural system?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:02.160,0:04:08.800
All these are very pertinent questions. But these&nbsp;
pioneers of a new world order will certainly have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:08.800,0:04:15.360
achieved something unique that their peers&nbsp;
would obviously lack. They will always have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:15.360,0:04:24.280
their personal heavens intact with them oozing&nbsp;
energy, joy, passion and, above all, health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:25.640,0:04:29.600
There certainly have been such people&nbsp;
before in the history of mankind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:30.360,0:04:38.080
A few names out of those spell like Jesus&nbsp;
Christ, Gautama Buddha, Laozi and Nanak.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:39.000,0:04:44.000
The early pioneers are going to be&nbsp;
resembling these emancipated souls</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:44.000,0:04:49.880
who lived their lives in the most meaningful&nbsp;
ways. They are going to be the leaders of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:49.880,0:04:55.720
a revolutionary phase of evolution so&nbsp;
emergently needed by Homo sapiens today!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:57.080,0:05:02.240
The way they live their personal lives will&nbsp;
be spontaneously decided by their intuitive</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:02.240,0:05:09.160
brains in different parts of the world. But one&nbsp;
thing is certain that whatever they do will be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:09.160,0:05:17.280
fulfilling not only for themselves but also for&nbsp;
humanity around them. The way they go about their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:17.280,0:05:23.720
lives will also be exemplary in all respects&nbsp;
in line with the new evolutionary standards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:25.160,0:05:30.000
How can such a beautiful society&nbsp;
organize itself in such a healthy way</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:30.000,0:05:34.000
that all its sociocultural&nbsp;
chakras dissolve, you ask?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:35.520,0:05:43.200
Let’s look into it, starting where we left&nbsp;
off in Episode 33, i.e. transcendence needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.920,0:05:54.480
Transcendence Needs – Mysteriology Vs Religion
What sub-fragment or sub-sub-fragment of religion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:54.480,0:05:58.360
will the pioneers of Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap commit their allegiance to?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:59.880,0:06:03.480
Well, they may quite simply&nbsp;
revert to the origin of religion,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:04.040,0:06:10.760
i.e., to the awe its mysteries inspire. That&nbsp;
is what I am doing through my investigations</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:10.760,0:06:18.960
into those miracles as I deliver this podcast.&nbsp;
All religions have this awe as their most basic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:18.960,0:06:26.760
pillars on which entire buildings were erected&nbsp;
in many different shapes and styles. Their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:26.760,0:06:33.560
walls were constructed with the bricks of various&nbsp;
faiths, instead of simply relying on the pillars</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:33.560,0:06:39.600
that had already given them sufficient strength&nbsp;
to investigate into the deepest mysteries of life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:41.040,0:06:46.680
It is time to remove all those walls&nbsp;
and turn those buildings into gazebos</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:46.680,0:06:54.360
through which fresh winds can freely flow&nbsp;
across. The same wind of curious investigation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:54.360,0:07:01.480
of miracles and mysteries flowing across all those&nbsp;
buildings turns them sacred science laboratories!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:03.000,0:07:08.520
We can even name this new sacred science&nbsp;
‘Mysteriology’ or else ‘Mysterionomy’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:10.040,0:07:17.040
All existing religions can merge their separate&nbsp;
identities into one sacred science supported by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:17.040,0:07:23.680
those central pillars of awe rather than many&nbsp;
peripheral walls with various shades of faith.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:25.120,0:07:29.480
Religion turns into a sacred&nbsp;
science investigating patterns</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:29.480,0:07:35.000
of all existing miracles and mysteries&nbsp;
for the ultimate benefit of mankind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:36.320,0:07:41.800
That is the new ‘religion’ pioneers of&nbsp;
Skeletal Leap may commit their allegiance to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:43.320,0:07:46.600
No more violence in the name&nbsp;
of religion needs to occur.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:48.160,0:07:55.840
All beliefs, faiths and morals would turn to&nbsp;
ethics creating a new aesthetic value system</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:55.840,0:07:59.640
that could preoccupy itself&nbsp;
with investigating mysteries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.080,0:08:06.440
Physiological Needs – Personal&nbsp;
Vs Social Ownership of Resources</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:08.000,0:08:13.080
On the other end of Maslow’s Hierarchy&nbsp;
of Needs lie physiological needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:14.680,0:08:20.960
It is not a coincidence that the bullet train of&nbsp;
human progress seems to be propelled at breakneck</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:20.960,0:08:29.040
speed by the alternating poles of ‘faith’ and&nbsp;
‘money’. Our closed sociocultural root chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:29.040,0:08:36.640
instantly needs to be opened, bringing us back&nbsp;
to a genuine pursuit of our physiological needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:36.640,0:08:44.400
this time, unadulterated by personal&nbsp;
ownership of resources. To achieve this,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:44.400,0:08:50.360
we would have to re-shape the entire structure&nbsp;
and function of business on earth before&nbsp;the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:50.360,0:08:57.280
earth teaches us a lesson. And it is already on&nbsp;
the verge of doing so, thanks to climate change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:58.840,0:09:03.320
Here, I just want to discuss the connection&nbsp;
between psychology and economics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.760,0:09:12.360
Money, not in its form as currency but as the&nbsp;
concept of personal ownership of resources,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:12.360,0:09:16.520
i.e., private property, is a&nbsp;
construct of the mind alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:18.120,0:09:23.800
Mind looks upon the self as an individual&nbsp;
entity in isolation from everyone else.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:25.440,0:09:30.360
Hence it needs to create a safety wall&nbsp;
around itself in the form of an isolated</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:30.360,0:09:39.320
private property. No one else has a right to&nbsp;
trespass it. But greed knows no end to it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:40.920,0:09:49.440
And then the mind wants to extend its boundaries&nbsp;
as far as we can. The larger it grows,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.440,0:09:56.600
the safer the mind feels in that isolation.&nbsp;
So much so that the mind would force the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:56.600,0:10:04.760
self to do any damn thing to keep extending and&nbsp;
expanding that property ethically or unethically.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:06.680,0:10:12.280
When the brain is in charge rather than the&nbsp;
mind, we don’t need to create all those walls.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:13.920,0:10:20.840
The corrupted currency, namely ‘personal ownership&nbsp;
of resources’ and all its associated distortions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:20.840,0:10:28.760
will no longer be important to us. As a result,&nbsp;
the sociocultural root chakra will dissolve,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:28.760,0:10:36.120
thus letting the society focus on the underlying&nbsp;
needs - physiological and safety needs - instead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:37.560,0:10:42.240
That is the kind of a healthier world that&nbsp;
Skeletal Leap will result in creating at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:42.240,0:10:49.440
an individual and a sociocultural level. In&nbsp;
that kind of world, business would no more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:49.440,0:10:57.520
be a tool to earn profit alone. It would rather&nbsp;
be the voice of one’s passion, making it a real</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:57.520,0:11:06.080
mission than a mission statement alone.
Physiological Needs – Mission Vs Business</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:07.720,0:11:13.160
No one ever does anything unethical&nbsp;
when it comes to one’s real mission,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:13.160,0:11:19.920
provided it doesn’t get corrupted by a perceived&nbsp;
“need” to accumulate as much profit as possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:21.320,0:11:27.440
Otherwise those real missions get limited to&nbsp;
their mission statements alone which lead to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:27.440,0:11:34.920
ambitious demonic businesses ultimately.
In a purely mission driven scenario,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:34.920,0:11:41.720
profit remains as mere data for economic&nbsp;
discipline to be maintained. It doesn’t morph</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:41.720,0:11:47.680
into the greed of extending and expanding the&nbsp;
size of one’s personal ownership of resources.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:49.200,0:11:53.680
There is no need left to resort&nbsp;
to unethical business practices.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:55.240,0:12:02.040
Real mission becomes the central theme of the&nbsp;
entity called business. Now, it can be renamed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.040,0:12:08.960
simply as mission rather than business.
When will Homo sapiens’ sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:08.960,0:12:13.680
evolution start turning businesses&nbsp;
into real missions on this planet?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:15.240,0:12:20.120
It needs to be done well before&nbsp;
human-induced climate change kills us all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:21.760,0:12:23.400
It needs to be done NOW!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:25.080,0:12:30.760
We are sitting right at the top crater&nbsp;
of a volcano that may erupt any moment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:31.720,0:12:37.960
We cannot afford to stay sleeping over it.
Safety Needs – Health</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:39.640,0:12:44.120
We, Homo sapiens, have a very limited&nbsp;
concept of health in our minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:44.880,0:12:52.520
If a human body is just devoid of all diseases,&nbsp;
both physical and mental, we consider it healthy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:54.240,0:12:59.440
But health has numerous other&nbsp;
dimensions beyond this. First of all,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.440,0:13:06.520
it is not the absence of disease alone. More&nbsp;
so, it is just not limited to human body either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:08.160,0:13:14.600
In my opinion, human health should be defined&nbsp;
as a state of wellness that includes physical,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:14.600,0:13:21.200
mental and spiritual wellness, be it an&nbsp;
individual body or a systemic institution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:22.800,0:13:28.640
These healthy systemic institutions can be&nbsp;
cognized as new alternatives in society and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:28.640,0:13:36.240
culture to currently existing versions of&nbsp;
economy, business, industry, judiciary,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:36.240,0:13:43.760
arts and entertainment networks, marriage&nbsp;
institution, organized sport, value system,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:43.760,0:13:49.240
education system, self-improvement&nbsp;
industry and organized religion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:50.640,0:13:56.680
What would result is nothing but holistic&nbsp;
health whether individual or systemic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:58.080,0:14:04.400
This would place health in a realm that is above&nbsp;
and beyond the deficiency need of safety alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:05.920,0:14:09.800
And when a society operates from&nbsp;
such a ‘healthy’ foundation,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:09.800,0:14:14.880
it would detach from the shackles of&nbsp;
sociocultural root chakra automatically,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:14.880,0:14:19.040
thereby not allowing its corruption&nbsp;
by any currency whatsoever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:20.480,0:14:25.880
Another in-built advantage of such a healthy&nbsp;
society would be uncorrupted cognition</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:25.880,0:14:29.760
that is driven by the brain alone&nbsp;
and not the collective mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:31.120,0:14:37.960
Such an inclusive definition of health places it&nbsp;
as the ultimate parameter of the quality of life</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:37.960,0:14:46.560
including its meaning, aesthetic and ethics. All&nbsp;
other parameters lose their significance when</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:46.560,0:14:52.800
it comes to ascertaining the ultimate value&nbsp;
of an individual or a systemic institution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:54.120,0:14:58.720
Safety Needs – Holistic Healing&nbsp;
Vs Symptomatic Treatment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:00.000,0:15:06.640
Holistic healing treats both, acute diseases&nbsp;
caused by pathogens and lifestyle diseases</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:06.640,0:15:11.240
caused by a fragmented mind.
The only permanent way to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:11.240,0:15:17.240
cure both types of diseases, once and&nbsp;
forever, is to change one’s lifestyle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:18.680,0:15:23.800
For it is the lifestyle that has been responsible&nbsp;
for causing them in the very first place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:25.280,0:15:30.480
Holistic healing has quite a few ways&nbsp;
up its sleeves to address the causative</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:30.480,0:15:36.200
factors in an effective manner.
Stringent Laboratory Testing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:37.680,0:15:41.840
Now let’s come to the objection raised&nbsp;
by mainstream pharmaceutical medicine</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:41.840,0:15:47.080
against the ways of holistic healing&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>the one about stringent laboratory</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:47.080,0:15:54.960
tests and efficacy that I mentioned earlier.
To carry out monitored tests on a sample of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:54.960,0:16:02.240
ill subjects, holistic healing has certain&nbsp;
obstructions in its way. Holistic healing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:02.240,0:16:09.000
procedures not only require a much longer duration&nbsp;
of time but also much larger sums of money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:10.480,0:16:14.640
Pharmaceutical medicine requires&nbsp;
much shorter spans of time to carry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:14.640,0:16:22.640
out such monitored tests on control groups of&nbsp;
patients. Such patients are readily available</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:22.640,0:16:28.040
owing to its popularity as well as shorter&nbsp;
commitments of time requirement from them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:29.600,0:16:34.840
Paradigm Shift in Culture
In order for holistic healing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:34.840,0:16:41.760
to become mainstream healing, we need to bring&nbsp;
a paradigm shift in our culture. At present it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:41.760,0:16:50.280
favors fast movies, fast music, fast sex, fast&nbsp;
food, fast medicine and just fast life overall.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:51.800,0:16:56.200
If it ever happens, holistic healing&nbsp;
has the true potential to become the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:56.200,0:17:04.520
ultimate solution to deteriorating human health.
Skeletal Leap is one such approach that has the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:04.520,0:17:12.800
capacity to heal almost all lifestyle diseases&nbsp;
at their roots, as enumerated in Episode 22.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:14.120,0:17:18.640
A skeletally transformed society&nbsp;
will simply not need as much of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:18.640,0:17:22.240
institutionalized healthcare as it does right now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:23.560,0:17:29.360
That is because the entire process of Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap is basically a health-oriented process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:30.800,0:17:37.640
Of course, humanity will still need a few areas of&nbsp;
mainstream healthcare that have seen exceptional</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:37.640,0:17:46.320
progress. In fact, despite all its shortcomings,&nbsp;
modern healthcare has done an excellent job in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:46.320,0:17:54.800
these fields, namely: surgical intervention,&nbsp;
vaccines, prosthetics and physiotherapy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:56.240,0:18:00.640
The contributions of these fields&nbsp;
to human health are unchallengeable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:02.240,0:18:09.400
Safety Needs – Security
Army – A Case of Fragmented Sensitivity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:11.080,0:18:15.000
Doesn’t a fanatic love for one’s&nbsp;
so-called motherland automatically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:15.000,0:18:19.520
create a fertile ground for hatred&nbsp;
toward other lands and their peoples?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:20.960,0:18:26.400
Especially whenever they get conveniently&nbsp;
tagged as enemy lands by the respective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:26.400,0:18:31.800
political bosses of these chunks of land&nbsp;
as and when it suits their narrative?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:33.360,0:18:38.400
Even if some lands are spared being tagged&nbsp;
as adversaries by the political bosses,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:38.920,0:18:46.400
our sensitivities are never with them. We turn&nbsp;
insensitive to the people residing in those lands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:47.760,0:18:51.040
How can sensitivity become fragmented like this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:51.040,0:18:55.560
if it is a genuine concern arising&nbsp;
from our awareness of life?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:57.160,0:19:02.840
Why would I not feel sad if an earthquake kills&nbsp;
a few thousand people in some foreign land?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:04.240,0:19:10.360
What if I compare it with a similar disaster or&nbsp;
a different havoc in what I call my motherland?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:11.720,0:19:18.200
What justification does humanity have to fragment&nbsp;
the natural expanse of land on our planet?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:19.600,0:19:25.120
That too, by becoming willing pawns to our&nbsp;
political bosses’ nefarious game plans?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:26.680,0:19:30.840
How will Skeletal Leap pioneers&nbsp;
respond to such a situation?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:32.400,0:19:36.720
The pioneers obviously cannot&nbsp;
do much to reverse the trends.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:37.320,0:19:42.880
But a society transformed with Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
will never entertain these institutions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:44.480,0:19:50.880
Armies and warfare will exist only till the&nbsp;
borders demarcating countries as fragmented</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:50.880,0:19:58.760
chunks of lands continue to exist on earth.
In a transformed society, these fragmented</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:58.760,0:20:06.280
chunks would dissolve exactly like the fragments&nbsp;
of mind do. That is what opening the 7 chakras</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:06.280,0:20:14.120
and getting the Kundalini activated does to these&nbsp;
mental fragments. Till that time, Skeletal Leap</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:14.120,0:20:20.360
pioneers will passionately work toward taking the&nbsp;
number of transformed people to a critical one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:21.800,0:20:26.280
Once the critical number is reached,&nbsp;
the transformation process will get</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:26.280,0:20:33.840
exponentially accelerated automatically. It is&nbsp;
exactly like it happens in nuclear reactors with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:33.840,0:20:40.880
the minimum fissile material&nbsp;necessary to achieve&nbsp;
a self-sustaining fission chain reaction thereon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:42.480,0:20:45.960
What will the millions of&nbsp;
soldiers do when this is achieved?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:47.480,0:20:52.600
They will simply be a great asset for the&nbsp;
society by dint of their specialized training.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:54.200,0:20:58.800
They will make wonderful teams needed&nbsp;
to fight the challenges such as the one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:58.800,0:21:05.640
already posed by climate change!
Love and Belonging Needs – Marriage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:07.360,0:21:15.640
How could new social systems like marriage, sports&nbsp;
and nations heal themselves in a society energized</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:15.640,0:21:23.000
by Skeletal Leap from this point forward in our&nbsp;
evolution? These are only the suggestive samples</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:23.000,0:21:29.600
that a skeletally transformed society could&nbsp;
tentatively lead to, not the final blueprints.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:31.200,0:21:36.680
Where should the institution of marriage&nbsp;
go from here? This is one of the toughest</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:36.680,0:21:41.760
questions to answer even for someone&nbsp;
who has already undergone Skeletal Leap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:43.120,0:21:45.480
It is because marriage is not marriage alone,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:46.240,0:21:51.960
it also leads to reproduction and parenting&nbsp;
where a third person enters the equation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:53.400,0:22:00.520
But there is at least one solution that may seem&nbsp;
to work. And it can prove to be a revolutionary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:00.520,0:22:05.800
solution that takes care of the ultimate love&nbsp;
and belonging needs in the most natural way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:07.360,0:22:13.960
When a couple enters a relationship, they should&nbsp;
avoid traditional marriage&nbsp;and keep living under</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:13.960,0:22:21.480
separate roofs instead. They should also be free&nbsp;
to enter as many other romantic relationships</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:21.480,0:22:28.880
as they feel like, again without sharing&nbsp;
roofs. This takes care of all three sexual</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.880,0:22:36.760
tendencies present in the Homo sapiens psyche,&nbsp;
namely monogamy, serial monogamy and polygamy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:38.320,0:22:42.640
Whenever one feels like meeting the&nbsp;
other, one should take an appointment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:44.120,0:22:49.000
Such a distance between the two doesn’t&nbsp;
let the relationship go stale and dull.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:50.520,0:22:57.360
Passion and romance are kept intact for a&nbsp;
long time to come. This applies to lovers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:57.360,0:23:03.680
with all three tendencies…monogamist,&nbsp;
serial monogamist and polygamist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:05.280,0:23:11.360
Once the woman has conceived, the child’s&nbsp;
responsibility should be legally assigned to her</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:11.360,0:23:17.880
along with its biological father lifelong.&nbsp;
The custody of the child should always remain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:17.880,0:23:25.360
with the mother as she is the more natural&nbsp;
parent between the two. In such a scenario,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:25.360,0:23:31.240
the child would get accustomed to stay with&nbsp;
the mother alone since the very beginning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:32.800,0:23:37.920
No divorces would ever be there as they&nbsp;
are irrelevant in the absence of marriage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:39.360,0:23:44.440
Nor would there be any trauma to the child&nbsp;
from the separation of their parents ever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:46.120,0:23:51.280
Also, the child would be guaranteed to get&nbsp;
the care and finances from both parents</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:51.280,0:23:53.640
until they start earning on their own.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:55.200,0:24:00.280
It is a win-win situation for all three in&nbsp;
the family living under two different roofs!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:02.000,0:24:07.240
This is the system that marriage may get&nbsp;
replaced with in a society that has already</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:07.240,0:24:12.120
taken its Skeletal Leap.
It is just a proposal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:12.800,0:24:18.240
Many more such proposals may come from a&nbsp;
variety of skeletally transformed Homo sapiens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:19.880,0:24:26.400
Like the fittest survived during the early phases&nbsp;
of evolution, so would the best proposal be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:26.400,0:24:33.520
adopted in action in the present scenario.
Love and Belonging Needs – Sport</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:34.880,0:24:39.560
Can we be intelligent enough to design&nbsp;
sport in a more aesthetic way today?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:41.040,0:24:43.880
How will Skeletal Leap deal with this issue?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:45.320,0:24:52.000
We have fragmented sportsman spirit in&nbsp;
two ugly fragments, namely win and lose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:53.480,0:24:59.120
The two teams or else two or more&nbsp;
individuals compete with one another</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:59.120,0:25:06.240
trying to perform better than the opponents.
That is a fragmenting competition aimed at showing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:06.240,0:25:11.280
the other down. The right competition&nbsp;
should be there with your own self.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:12.840,0:25:16.880
How can a team or individual&nbsp;
player compete with themselves?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:18.480,0:25:19.680
It is very simple.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:20.320,0:25:25.840
We just need to change the criteria of winning&nbsp;
or losing to a self-competitive paradigm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:27.240,0:25:33.080
Every team or&nbsp; individual player may enter the&nbsp;
venue of the match with a statistical record of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:33.080,0:25:40.720
their past performances. This record may underline&nbsp;
the level of their past performances till date.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:42.040,0:25:49.000
While the match is on, each team or individual&nbsp;
could focus on improving their past record</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:49.000,0:25:55.840
while performing against the other. This is in&nbsp;
complete contrast with concentrating on defeating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:55.840,0:26:05.200
the opponent. There is a difference between focus&nbsp;
and concentration. Focus happens on the entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:05.200,0:26:12.440
undivided whole whereas concentration happens only&nbsp;
partially and only on the fragmented parts of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:12.440,0:26:20.280
whole. Improving one’s own performance amounts&nbsp;
to dealing with the entire undivided whole.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:21.720,0:26:26.680
On the other hand, just defeating the&nbsp;
opponent amounts to dealing with one of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:26.680,0:26:32.800
its fragmented parts against the other.
Brute winning and losing shouldn’t be as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:32.800,0:26:36.840
important as an overall improvement&nbsp;
in the quality of the match.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:38.000,0:26:43.720
Which team or which individual contributed more&nbsp;
in improving the overall quality of the event?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:44.880,0:26:49.400
It can easily be calculated through the&nbsp;
improvement in each one’s performance</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:49.400,0:26:55.360
against the opponent. This improvement can&nbsp;
be calculated through comparing present</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:55.360,0:27:00.640
performance with its past performance&nbsp;
statistics vis-a-vis the same opponents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:02.080,0:27:07.920
This way, it is even possible for a team or&nbsp;
an individual scoring less on the scoreboard</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:07.920,0:27:13.280
getting declared as winner.
Makes sense! Doesn’t it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:14.800,0:27:20.880
That is how Skeletal Leap pioneers might&nbsp;
deal with this issue in a holistic manner</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:20.880,0:27:24.160
establishing sportsman spirit back in the sports.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:25.600,0:27:30.160
Again, it is just one of the proposals&nbsp;
among thousands more of them coming from</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:30.160,0:27:38.240
the most creative sports designers. We just&nbsp;
need to stay open to all such new proposals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:38.240,0:27:43.240
for further evolution of sports as an&nbsp;
important activity coloring the human life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:44.800,0:27:53.120
Let the best one win whosoever it comes from!
Love and Belonging Needs – World Government</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:54.520,0:28:01.360
We have been victims to the worst of all the&nbsp;
social institutions - the politics-business nexus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:02.800,0:28:09.040
We had created it to live life in a more&nbsp;
meaningful way but it stealthily cheated us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:10.600,0:28:13.160
Countries and nationalities have reduced</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:13.160,0:28:18.280
our status from being humans to being&nbsp;
mere nationals of this state or that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:19.800,0:28:24.880
The pioneers of Skeletal Leap would most&nbsp;
probably seek a world government that would</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:24.880,0:28:32.440
end all countries and eliminate the very idea&nbsp;
of nationalities. Such a world government could</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:32.440,0:28:39.600
break all boundaries and dissolve all borders&nbsp;
on the face of the planet. For too long now,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:39.600,0:28:46.560
these borders have been making our beautiful world&nbsp;
look ugly from within as well as from a distance!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:48.040,0:28:53.360
And the best thing is that in the present day&nbsp;
scenario of already having developed a global</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:53.360,0:29:02.960
consciousness, we, the Homo sapiens, CAN do it.
An Improbable (Almost Impossible) Utopia:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:04.400,0:29:11.040
What if Israel and Palestine decide to break their&nbsp;
borders and unite as one single nation one day?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:12.280,0:29:16.920
I know it is not very probable but it&nbsp;
is not theoretically impossible either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:18.440,0:29:23.160
Just for the sake of argument, let&nbsp;
us assume that it happens some day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:24.720,0:29:29.000
Today’s Israelis and Palestinians&nbsp;
will keep living where they are.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:30.520,0:29:34.480
In fact, they will start living a much&nbsp;
better life than they are living now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:35.960,0:29:41.240
The definitions of patriotism and&nbsp;
sedition will change for them overnight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:42.800,0:29:50.120
The best that will happen is they will stop hating&nbsp;
each other. That is since the two of them will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:50.120,0:29:56.760
be each other’s ‘countrymen’ now.
Extending Utopia A Step Further</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:58.440,0:30:02.400
We can extend the same argument to&nbsp;
all the other lands under conflict.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:03.720,0:30:08.600
We can further expand our national borders&nbsp;
from one corner of the world to the other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:10.120,0:30:17.400
Patriotism and sedition as concepts as well as&nbsp;
moral or immoral values will become history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:18.720,0:30:22.480
They will be left with no role&nbsp;
to play in the new world order.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:24.040,0:30:28.960
We will be able to love all of humanity&nbsp;
without any condition defining and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:28.960,0:30:34.800
describing one’s nationality.
What&nbsp;Stephen Hawking Had to Say:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:36.400,0:30:42.480
I must quote what Stephen Hawking, the renowned&nbsp;
physicist, had to say before his death.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:43.840,0:30:49.720
It was in the context of nationalities especially&nbsp;
at a crucial point of time in human history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:51.160,0:30:57.360
It was when newly surging right wing politics&nbsp;
had started spreading almost all over the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:58.960,0:31:03.200
It had already strengthened the&nbsp;
sentiments of narrow nationalism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:03.200,0:31:05.760
and the subsequent chunks of patriotism:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:07.280,0:31:12.560
Stephen Hawking, physicist of the&nbsp;
left — particularly because of his</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:12.560,0:31:19.680
insistence there is no God but rather a Mother&nbsp;
Nature that’s gone haywire from human-induced</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:19.680,0:31:27.600
climate change — has just released his brainiac&nbsp;
solution to so-called Mankind’s Biggest Threat,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:27.600,0:31:35.280
technology, and it can be summed in this simple,&nbsp;
easy-to-remember phrase: “World government.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:36.480,0:31:41.120
Courtesy: Washington Times 9th March, 2017</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:42.360,0:31:49.040
Skeletal Leap always aims at dissolving all&nbsp;
kinds of fragmentation whether in the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:49.040,0:31:57.840
or else in the world. It looks at Gaia, a concept&nbsp;
in which the earth is a female living organism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:57.840,0:32:02.600
as one single whole which should&nbsp;
never be divided in any further parts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:04.080,0:32:09.040
There is no place for any divisive&nbsp;
concept like patriotism in its worldview.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:10.720,0:32:16.960
Pioneers of Skeletal Leap would consider&nbsp;
themselves to be world citizens and humanity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:16.960,0:32:24.680
as their nationality. It recognizes and then&nbsp;
discards all other notions of nationality as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:24.680,0:32:32.520
faulty constructs of the mind. That was what&nbsp;
Jiddu Krishnamurti who was an enlightened soul</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:32.520,0:32:43.360
always did too, declaring himself a world-citizen.
Esteem Needs – Ethical Insight Vs Value Systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:44.960,0:32:49.040
What will the pioneers of Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap do with their value system?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:50.480,0:32:56.160
Let us peep inside a few glimpses of how&nbsp;
new value systems could heal themselves</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:56.160,0:33:01.640
in a society energized by Skeletal Leap at&nbsp;
this evolutionary juncture of time, today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:03.120,0:33:07.680
These are only the suggestive samples&nbsp;
that a skeletally transformed society</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:07.680,0:33:11.520
could tentatively lead to,&nbsp;
not the final blueprints.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:12.920,0:33:19.960
It is simple. They won’t need any defined value&nbsp;
system to guide them. When our brain thinks</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:19.960,0:33:26.840
independent of any interference from the mind,&nbsp;
it follows aesthetically dynamic and innately</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:26.840,0:33:33.520
ethical actions automatically. Empathy and&nbsp;
compassion guide our actions in such a scenario.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:34.960,0:33:40.320
On the other hand, all those established values&nbsp;
play a very aggressive role in suppressing our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:40.320,0:33:47.160
natural flow of energy. Aggression is a&nbsp;
male characteristic that turned a natural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:47.160,0:33:52.920
matriarchal system into an artificial patriarchy&nbsp;
with the help of an imposed value system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:54.200,0:33:59.520
Something that we are still paying a&nbsp;
heavy price for as modern human society!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:00.920,0:34:06.320
Cognitive Needs – Education
Clubs of Knowledge</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:07.840,0:34:13.560
We need to change the academic regimentation in&nbsp;
our schools and replace it with something more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:13.560,0:34:21.360
interesting. And that may, for example,&nbsp;
be an interesting array of activities</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:21.360,0:34:26.800
assimilated and distilled by the insightful&nbsp;
masters of the connected disciplines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:28.160,0:34:33.760
And that array of activities might&nbsp;
demonstrate their discipline in action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:35.080,0:34:40.880
It could also tell stories of the developments&nbsp;
achieved by the great masters in the discipline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:41.720,0:34:44.880
It might even be the history&nbsp;
of that particular discipline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:46.360,0:34:50.120
It will tend to turn schools&nbsp;
into clubs of knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:51.440,0:34:54.080
Replacing Schools with Clubs of Knowledge</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:55.480,0:35:01.240
It is a well-known fact that the naive&nbsp;
minds don’t assimilate abstract knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:02.520,0:35:08.720
They have an innate tendency to get attracted&nbsp;
to real activities and the stories behind them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:09.680,0:35:14.880
Not the fabricated ones that are&nbsp;
being practiced in most schools today!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:16.240,0:35:21.080
These clubs of knowledge can easily&nbsp;
attract and, more importantly,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:21.080,0:35:28.360
hold the attention of these naive minds.&nbsp;
It only happens if they are left free to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:28.360,0:35:33.200
move around any area of activity&nbsp;
going on in such proposed clubs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:34.560,0:35:41.280
Soon these naive minds show an inclination to&nbsp;
frequent a specific activity more than the rest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:42.720,0:35:46.920
That is when the insightful&nbsp;
masters should catch hold of them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:46.920,0:35:49.680
and move further from that point onward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:51.160,0:35:55.080
Academics Takes A Secondary&nbsp;
But More Effective Role</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:56.680,0:36:04.040
Now they have a real natural motivation to learn&nbsp;
the abstract tools of knowledge aka academics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:05.360,0:36:08.360
They would otherwise have despised them earlier</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:08.360,0:36:11.440
when they hadn’t really known&nbsp;
why they were learning them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:12.800,0:36:18.120
They will automatically learn to use&nbsp;
these required abstract tools later</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:18.120,0:36:22.240
if they have a clear idea why they&nbsp;
are learning them in the first place,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:23.080,0:36:29.720
i.e., to solve a real problem springing up while&nbsp;
they are on to some task in the said discipline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:31.120,0:36:36.600
A Win-Win Situation
The crux of the solution is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:36.600,0:36:43.560
that if we really want to nurture talent, we&nbsp;
should discover it first. It is best done in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:43.560,0:36:50.040
very beginning of primary education, designing&nbsp;
it around the disciplines of their talents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:51.400,0:36:55.880
They will love their&nbsp;clubs of knowledge&nbsp;
way more than their current schools</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:55.880,0:37:01.160
and humanity will enjoy the benefits from&nbsp;
their contributions to these disciplines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:02.600,0:37:08.000
This will be one of the most creative roles&nbsp;
Skeletal Leap plays in the sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:08.000,0:37:12.960
evolution of humanity by changing&nbsp;
schools into clubs of knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:14.280,0:37:15.600
Aesthetic Needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:17.040,0:37:23.000
A new consciousness courtesy Skeletal Leap would&nbsp;
automatically pervade through all aesthetically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:23.000,0:37:32.360
creative pursuits including poetry, drama, cinema,&nbsp;
fiction and other forms providing great classics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:33.520,0:37:38.840
We might not need making any conscious&nbsp;
efforts to actuate this state of affairs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:38.840,0:37:44.000
in the world of aesthetics.
Self-Actualization Needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:45.400,0:37:51.640
Again, Skeletal Leap in itself is the&nbsp;
mother of all self-actualization skills.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:52.400,0:37:58.800
And the best thing is that it does not&nbsp;
require ambition to activate it. We just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:58.800,0:38:05.200
need to take a leap into it out of curiosity&nbsp;
and the said leap takes care of all the rest!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:06.680,0:38:12.880
Personal Heaven Leading to Collective Heaven
Miracles do happen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:14.320,0:38:18.560
We just need to take their cognizance&nbsp;
and analyze their patterns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:20.000,0:38:27.120
It takes a lot of sensitivity to take their&nbsp;
cognizance. And it takes a lot of experimentation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:27.120,0:38:33.000
to analyze the patterns they follow.
I had always been quite sensitive to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:33.000,0:38:40.360
take cognizance of biological processes and of&nbsp;
their consequent sociocultural effects in groups.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:41.840,0:38:47.360
I would also analyze their patterns in their&nbsp;
minutest details along with their consequent</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:47.360,0:38:55.520
effects on the subjects’ health and personalities.
If it improves their health conclusively,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:55.520,0:38:59.240
it is bound to change their&nbsp;
personalities in the right direction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:00.520,0:39:07.240
It is a change in an individual personality that&nbsp;
initiates the process of a sociocultural change</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:07.240,0:39:14.880
in a society. And when a sufficient number of&nbsp;
individual personality changes has taken place,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:15.440,0:39:19.720
the process of consequent&nbsp;
sociocultural change gathers momentum.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:21.120,0:39:27.520
There is always a condition that these personality&nbsp;
changes must be profound enough to do the needful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:28.920,0:39:34.760
They should also be aligned with one another&nbsp;
to effect the consequent sociocultural changes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:34.760,0:39:40.920
in a single, desired direction.
How can that individual personality</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:40.920,0:39:46.920
change be initiated? And how can it be&nbsp;
ensured that such a change is profound?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:48.120,0:39:54.280
The answer to both in the context of&nbsp;
the present podcast is: Skeletal Leap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:55.560,0:40:02.160
An individual Skeletal Leap transforms an&nbsp;
individual life into one’s own personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:03.600,0:40:07.720
A collective Skeletal Leap has the&nbsp;
potential to transform the entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:07.720,0:40:16.120
world into a collective heaven worth living in.
I think our species, at this evolutionary juncture</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:16.120,0:40:23.320
of time, is the apt custodian of life on the sole&nbsp;
‘living planet’ in the entire known universe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:24.880,0:40:31.000
Are we ready to gift a better life to ourselves&nbsp;
today and bequeath a better world to our loved</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:31.000,0:40:40.600
ones for tomorrow? A life devoid of disease,&nbsp;
stress, despair and unfulfilled emotions!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:41.320,0:40:49.080

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 34th episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled "Manifesting A Cool Heaven on Earth with Skeletal Leap!" will tell you about manifesting a collective heaven on earth via a paradigm shift in everything we do whether biologically or socioculturally.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">If we want peace on earth, we first need to have our minds at peace..</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">It is only possible by emptying the mind and returning it to the job that it has been designed for.</p>

<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 34th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode titled "Manifesting a Collective Heaven on Earth with Skeletal Leap!", I explore the profound connection between individual transformation and collective evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we stand at this pivotal evolutionary juncture, I explain the significance of achieving inner peace as a precursor to world peace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through the lens of Skeletal Leap, I discover how emptying the mind and aligning with our natural instincts can unlock the true potential of our intelligence, leading to spontaneous and joyful actions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The episode highlights the urgent need for a collective push toward a new consciousness—a movement that can dismantle outdated socio-cultural institutions and guide humanity toward a harmonious existence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also contemplate the challenges faced by pioneers of this new paradigm and how they might navigate a world that often contradicts their enlightened perspectives.</p>





<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The role of individual transformation in creating a collective heaven</li>



<li>The importance of aligning our actions with our instincts for a joyful life</li>



<li>How a shift in consciousness can lead to the dissolution of harmful sociocultural structures</li>



<li>The potential for a world without borders, fostering unity over division</li>



<li>Innovative proposals for reimagining societal institutions like marriage and sports</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:01.120,0:00:06.000
I think our species, at this&nbsp;
evolutionary juncture of time,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:06.000,0:00:12.080
is the apt custodian of life on the sole&nbsp;
‘living planet’ in the entire known universe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:21.640,0:00:27.520
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to&nbsp;
“Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:28.400,0:00:32.560
Skeletal Leap transforms one’s&nbsp;
life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:33.840,0:00:39.280
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
manifesting a collective heaven on earth</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:39.280,0:00:45.440
via a paradigm shift in everything we do&nbsp;
whether biologically or socioculturally.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:46.760,0:00:52.480
If we want peace on earth, we first&nbsp;
need to have our minds at peace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:54.040,0:00:59.120
It is only possible by emptying the mind&nbsp;
and returning it to the job that it has</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:59.120,0:01:05.880
been designed for. The said job is to review&nbsp;
the psychedelic perceptions of the brain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:05.880,0:01:09.760
and comprehend them while staying&nbsp;
in tune with human instincts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:11.080,0:01:16.360
The actions are all taken by the brain&nbsp;
itself in an instantly spontaneous way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:17.600,0:01:22.840
The combination of all natural instincts&nbsp;
and curious perception arising from the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:22.840,0:01:28.600
ultimate intelligence of our human brain&nbsp;
automatically leads to spontaneous action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:29.880,0:01:36.000
This intelligence doesn’t bother about being&nbsp;
morally good or bad, it is simply beautiful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:36.000,0:01:41.840
and creates passionate joy in life.
An intelligent brain is the ultimate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:41.840,0:01:47.280
state that Homo sapiens can achieve by&nbsp;
taking the next step in their evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:48.520,0:01:54.480
Real intelligence facilitates a joyful life&nbsp;
resulting in a beautiful and a peaceful mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:55.760,0:02:00.160
A beautiful and a peaceful&nbsp;
mind makes love, not war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:01.480,0:02:05.680
Skeletal Leap ensures everything&nbsp;
falls into its right place to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:05.680,0:02:15.000
enable just that - an intelligent brain.
Good is a mere concept, beauty is the sheer joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:16.400,0:02:20.360
One more thing…
Just like lifestyle diseases,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:20.360,0:02:26.520
faultily designed sociocultural institutions&nbsp;
are also erected upon very shaky foundations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:27.400,0:02:32.720
One collective push, and they will all&nbsp;
come crumbling down within no time!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.080,0:02:40.280
The said collective push has its roots deeply&nbsp;
ingrained in central fixation through Skeletal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:40.280,0:02:49.680
Leap. An individual Skeletal Leap leads to our&nbsp;
personal heaven in life. A collective Skeletal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:49.680,0:02:56.840
Leap has a potential to lead us, the Homo sapiens,&nbsp;
to our sociocultural heaven on the planet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:58.120,0:03:03.320
Soon our planet may hopefully have a sufficient&nbsp;
number of people already having taken their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:03.320,0:03:10.640
Skeletal Leaps. A new stream of a superior&nbsp;
consciousness may pave its way into the corridors</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:10.640,0:03:17.600
of the existing sociocultural stream. Once it&nbsp;
reaches a critical number of people having taken</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:17.600,0:03:23.600
their Skeletal Leaps, this new consciousness&nbsp;
is poised to become an inevitable force.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:25.080,0:03:30.240
What about those who have taken their Skeletal&nbsp;
Leaps before this critical number is reached?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.640,0:03:36.160
How will they cope with the ways of the&nbsp;
world that go against their newly acquired</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:36.160,0:03:42.840
emancipated nature? Will they feel isolated&nbsp;
under the pressure of presently prevailing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:42.840,0:03:49.240
competitive ways of the world? How will they&nbsp;
balance their peaceful lives with the coercive</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:49.240,0:03:54.880
demands of the present sociocultural&nbsp;
structures? Will they be ridiculed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:54.880,0:04:00.760
when they step out of the rat race that is the&nbsp;
hallmark of our present sociocultural system?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:02.160,0:04:08.800
All these are very pertinent questions. But these&nbsp;
pioneers of a new world order will certainly have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:08.800,0:04:15.360
achieved something unique that their peers&nbsp;
would obviously lack. They will always have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:15.360,0:04:24.280
their personal heavens intact with them oozing&nbsp;
energy, joy, passion and, above all, health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:25.640,0:04:29.600
There certainly have been such people&nbsp;
before in the history of mankind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:30.360,0:04:38.080
A few names out of those spell like Jesus&nbsp;
Christ, Gautama Buddha, Laozi and Nanak.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:39.000,0:04:44.000
The early pioneers are going to be&nbsp;
resembling these emancipated souls</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:44.000,0:04:49.880
who lived their lives in the most meaningful&nbsp;
ways. They are going to be the leaders of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:49.880,0:04:55.720
a revolutionary phase of evolution so&nbsp;
emergently needed by Homo sapiens today!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:57.080,0:05:02.240
The way they live their personal lives will&nbsp;
be spontaneously decided by their intuitive</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:02.240,0:05:09.160
brains in different parts of the world. But one&nbsp;
thing is certain that whatever they do will be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:09.160,0:05:17.280
fulfilling not only for themselves but also for&nbsp;
humanity around them. The way they go about their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:17.280,0:05:23.720
lives will also be exemplary in all respects&nbsp;
in line with the new evolutionary standards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:25.160,0:05:30.000
How can such a beautiful society&nbsp;
organize itself in such a healthy way</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:30.000,0:05:34.000
that all its sociocultural&nbsp;
chakras dissolve, you ask?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:35.520,0:05:43.200
Let’s look into it, starting where we left&nbsp;
off in Episode 33, i.e. transcendence needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.920,0:05:54.480
Transcendence Needs – Mysteriology Vs Religion
What sub-fragment or sub-sub-fragment of religion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:54.480,0:05:58.360
will the pioneers of Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap commit their allegiance to?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:59.880,0:06:03.480
Well, they may quite simply&nbsp;
revert to the origin of religion,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:04.040,0:06:10.760
i.e., to the awe its mysteries inspire. That&nbsp;
is what I am doing through my investigations</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:10.760,0:06:18.960
into those miracles as I deliver this podcast.&nbsp;
All religions have this awe as their most basic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:18.960,0:06:26.760
pillars on which entire buildings were erected&nbsp;
in many different shapes and styles. Their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:26.760,0:06:33.560
walls were constructed with the bricks of various&nbsp;
faiths, instead of simply relying on the pillars</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:33.560,0:06:39.600
that had already given them sufficient strength&nbsp;
to investigate into the deepest mysteries of life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:41.040,0:06:46.680
It is time to remove all those walls&nbsp;
and turn those buildings into gazebos</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:46.680,0:06:54.360
through which fresh winds can freely flow&nbsp;
across. The same wind of curious investigation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:54.360,0:07:01.480
of miracles and mysteries flowing across all those&nbsp;
buildings turns them sacred science laboratories!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:03.000,0:07:08.520
We can even name this new sacred science&nbsp;
‘Mysteriology’ or else ‘Mysterionomy’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:10.040,0:07:17.040
All existing religions can merge their separate&nbsp;
identities into one sacred science supported by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:17.040,0:07:23.680
those central pillars of awe rather than many&nbsp;
peripheral walls with various shades of faith.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:25.120,0:07:29.480
Religion turns into a sacred&nbsp;
science investigating patterns</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:29.480,0:07:35.000
of all existing miracles and mysteries&nbsp;
for the ultimate benefit of mankind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:36.320,0:07:41.800
That is the new ‘religion’ pioneers of&nbsp;
Skeletal Leap may commit their allegiance to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:43.320,0:07:46.600
No more violence in the name&nbsp;
of religion needs to occur.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:48.160,0:07:55.840
All beliefs, faiths and morals would turn to&nbsp;
ethics creating a new aesthetic value system</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:55.840,0:07:59.640
that could preoccupy itself&nbsp;
with investigating mysteries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.080,0:08:06.440
Physiological Needs – Personal&nbsp;
Vs Social Ownership of Resources</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:08.000,0:08:13.080
On the other end of Maslow’s Hierarchy&nbsp;
of Needs lie physiological needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:14.680,0:08:20.960
It is not a coincidence that the bullet train of&nbsp;
human progress seems to be propelled at breakneck</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:20.960,0:08:29.040
speed by the alternating poles of ‘faith’ and&nbsp;
‘money’. Our closed sociocultural root chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:29.040,0:08:36.640
instantly needs to be opened, bringing us back&nbsp;
to a genuine pursuit of our physiological needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:36.640,0:08:44.400
this time, unadulterated by personal&nbsp;
ownership of resources. To achieve this,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:44.400,0:08:50.360
we would have to re-shape the entire structure&nbsp;
and function of business on earth before&nbsp;the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:50.360,0:08:57.280
earth teaches us a lesson. And it is already on&nbsp;
the verge of doing so, thanks to climate change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:58.840,0:09:03.320
Here, I just want to discuss the connection&nbsp;
between psychology and economics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.760,0:09:12.360
Money, not in its form as currency but as the&nbsp;
concept of personal ownership of resources,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:12.360,0:09:16.520
i.e., private property, is a&nbsp;
construct of the mind alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:18.120,0:09:23.800
Mind looks upon the self as an individual&nbsp;
entity in isolation from everyone else.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:25.440,0:09:30.360
Hence it needs to create a safety wall&nbsp;
around itself in the form of an isolated</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:30.360,0:09:39.320
private property. No one else has a right to&nbsp;
trespass it. But greed knows no end to it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:40.920,0:09:49.440
And then the mind wants to extend its boundaries&nbsp;
as far as we can. The larger it grows,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.440,0:09:56.600
the safer the mind feels in that isolation.&nbsp;
So much so that the mind would force the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:56.600,0:10:04.760
self to do any damn thing to keep extending and&nbsp;
expanding that property ethically or unethically.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:06.680,0:10:12.280
When the brain is in charge rather than the&nbsp;
mind, we don’t need to create all those walls.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:13.920,0:10:20.840
The corrupted currency, namely ‘personal ownership&nbsp;
of resources’ and all its associated distortions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:20.840,0:10:28.760
will no longer be important to us. As a result,&nbsp;
the sociocultural root chakra will dissolve,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:28.760,0:10:36.120
thus letting the society focus on the underlying&nbsp;
needs - physiological and safety needs - instead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:37.560,0:10:42.240
That is the kind of a healthier world that&nbsp;
Skeletal Leap will result in creating at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:42.240,0:10:49.440
an individual and a sociocultural level. In&nbsp;
that kind of world, business would no more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:49.440,0:10:57.520
be a tool to earn profit alone. It would rather&nbsp;
be the voice of one’s passion, making it a real</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:57.520,0:11:06.080
mission than a mission statement alone.
Physiological Needs – Mission Vs Business</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:07.720,0:11:13.160
No one ever does anything unethical&nbsp;
when it comes to one’s real mission,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:13.160,0:11:19.920
provided it doesn’t get corrupted by a perceived&nbsp;
“need” to accumulate as much profit as possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:21.320,0:11:27.440
Otherwise those real missions get limited to&nbsp;
their mission statements alone which lead to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:27.440,0:11:34.920
ambitious demonic businesses ultimately.
In a purely mission driven scenario,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:34.920,0:11:41.720
profit remains as mere data for economic&nbsp;
discipline to be maintained. It doesn’t morph</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:41.720,0:11:47.680
into the greed of extending and expanding the&nbsp;
size of one’s personal ownership of resources.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:49.200,0:11:53.680
There is no need left to resort&nbsp;
to unethical business practices.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:55.240,0:12:02.040
Real mission becomes the central theme of the&nbsp;
entity called business. Now, it can be renamed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.040,0:12:08.960
simply as mission rather than business.
When will Homo sapiens’ sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:08.960,0:12:13.680
evolution start turning businesses&nbsp;
into real missions on this planet?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:15.240,0:12:20.120
It needs to be done well before&nbsp;
human-induced climate change kills us all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:21.760,0:12:23.400
It needs to be done NOW!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:25.080,0:12:30.760
We are sitting right at the top crater&nbsp;
of a volcano that may erupt any moment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:31.720,0:12:37.960
We cannot afford to stay sleeping over it.
Safety Needs – Health</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:39.640,0:12:44.120
We, Homo sapiens, have a very limited&nbsp;
concept of health in our minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:44.880,0:12:52.520
If a human body is just devoid of all diseases,&nbsp;
both physical and mental, we consider it healthy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:54.240,0:12:59.440
But health has numerous other&nbsp;
dimensions beyond this. First of all,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.440,0:13:06.520
it is not the absence of disease alone. More&nbsp;
so, it is just not limited to human body either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:08.160,0:13:14.600
In my opinion, human health should be defined&nbsp;
as a state of wellness that includes physical,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:14.600,0:13:21.200
mental and spiritual wellness, be it an&nbsp;
individual body or a systemic institution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:22.800,0:13:28.640
These healthy systemic institutions can be&nbsp;
cognized as new alternatives in society and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:28.640,0:13:36.240
culture to currently existing versions of&nbsp;
economy, business, industry, judiciary,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:36.240,0:13:43.760
arts and entertainment networks, marriage&nbsp;
institution, organized sport, value system,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:43.760,0:13:49.240
education system, self-improvement&nbsp;
industry and organized religion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:50.640,0:13:56.680
What would result is nothing but holistic&nbsp;
health whether individual or systemic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:58.080,0:14:04.400
This would place health in a realm that is above&nbsp;
and beyond the deficiency need of safety alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:05.920,0:14:09.800
And when a society operates from&nbsp;
such a ‘healthy’ foundation,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:09.800,0:14:14.880
it would detach from the shackles of&nbsp;
sociocultural root chakra automatically,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:14.880,0:14:19.040
thereby not allowing its corruption&nbsp;
by any currency whatsoever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:20.480,0:14:25.880
Another in-built advantage of such a healthy&nbsp;
society would be uncorrupted cognition</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:25.880,0:14:29.760
that is driven by the brain alone&nbsp;
and not the collective mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:31.120,0:14:37.960
Such an inclusive definition of health places it&nbsp;
as the ultimate parameter of the quality of life</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:37.960,0:14:46.560
including its meaning, aesthetic and ethics. All&nbsp;
other parameters lose their significance when</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:46.560,0:14:52.800
it comes to ascertaining the ultimate value&nbsp;
of an individual or a systemic institution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:54.120,0:14:58.720
Safety Needs – Holistic Healing&nbsp;
Vs Symptomatic Treatment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:00.000,0:15:06.640
Holistic healing treats both, acute diseases&nbsp;
caused by pathogens and lifestyle diseases</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:06.640,0:15:11.240
caused by a fragmented mind.
The only permanent way to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:11.240,0:15:17.240
cure both types of diseases, once and&nbsp;
forever, is to change one’s lifestyle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:18.680,0:15:23.800
For it is the lifestyle that has been responsible&nbsp;
for causing them in the very first place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:25.280,0:15:30.480
Holistic healing has quite a few ways&nbsp;
up its sleeves to address the causative</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:30.480,0:15:36.200
factors in an effective manner.
Stringent Laboratory Testing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:37.680,0:15:41.840
Now let’s come to the objection raised&nbsp;
by mainstream pharmaceutical medicine</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:41.840,0:15:47.080
against the ways of holistic healing&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>the one about stringent laboratory</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:47.080,0:15:54.960
tests and efficacy that I mentioned earlier.
To carry out monitored tests on a sample of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:54.960,0:16:02.240
ill subjects, holistic healing has certain&nbsp;
obstructions in its way. Holistic healing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:02.240,0:16:09.000
procedures not only require a much longer duration&nbsp;
of time but also much larger sums of money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:10.480,0:16:14.640
Pharmaceutical medicine requires&nbsp;
much shorter spans of time to carry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:14.640,0:16:22.640
out such monitored tests on control groups of&nbsp;
patients. Such patients are readily available</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:22.640,0:16:28.040
owing to its popularity as well as shorter&nbsp;
commitments of time requirement from them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:29.600,0:16:34.840
Paradigm Shift in Culture
In order for holistic healing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:34.840,0:16:41.760
to become mainstream healing, we need to bring&nbsp;
a paradigm shift in our culture. At present it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:41.760,0:16:50.280
favors fast movies, fast music, fast sex, fast&nbsp;
food, fast medicine and just fast life overall.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:51.800,0:16:56.200
If it ever happens, holistic healing&nbsp;
has the true potential to become the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:56.200,0:17:04.520
ultimate solution to deteriorating human health.
Skeletal Leap is one such approach that has the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:04.520,0:17:12.800
capacity to heal almost all lifestyle diseases&nbsp;
at their roots, as enumerated in Episode 22.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:14.120,0:17:18.640
A skeletally transformed society&nbsp;
will simply not need as much of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:18.640,0:17:22.240
institutionalized healthcare as it does right now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:23.560,0:17:29.360
That is because the entire process of Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap is basically a health-oriented process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:30.800,0:17:37.640
Of course, humanity will still need a few areas of&nbsp;
mainstream healthcare that have seen exceptional</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:37.640,0:17:46.320
progress. In fact, despite all its shortcomings,&nbsp;
modern healthcare has done an excellent job in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:46.320,0:17:54.800
these fields, namely: surgical intervention,&nbsp;
vaccines, prosthetics and physiotherapy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:56.240,0:18:00.640
The contributions of these fields&nbsp;
to human health are unchallengeable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:02.240,0:18:09.400
Safety Needs – Security
Army – A Case of Fragmented Sensitivity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:11.080,0:18:15.000
Doesn’t a fanatic love for one’s&nbsp;
so-called motherland automatically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:15.000,0:18:19.520
create a fertile ground for hatred&nbsp;
toward other lands and their peoples?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:20.960,0:18:26.400
Especially whenever they get conveniently&nbsp;
tagged as enemy lands by the respective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:26.400,0:18:31.800
political bosses of these chunks of land&nbsp;
as and when it suits their narrative?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:33.360,0:18:38.400
Even if some lands are spared being tagged&nbsp;
as adversaries by the political bosses,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:38.920,0:18:46.400
our sensitivities are never with them. We turn&nbsp;
insensitive to the people residing in those lands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:47.760,0:18:51.040
How can sensitivity become fragmented like this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:51.040,0:18:55.560
if it is a genuine concern arising&nbsp;
from our awareness of life?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:57.160,0:19:02.840
Why would I not feel sad if an earthquake kills&nbsp;
a few thousand people in some foreign land?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:04.240,0:19:10.360
What if I compare it with a similar disaster or&nbsp;
a different havoc in what I call my motherland?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:11.720,0:19:18.200
What justification does humanity have to fragment&nbsp;
the natural expanse of land on our planet?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:19.600,0:19:25.120
That too, by becoming willing pawns to our&nbsp;
political bosses’ nefarious game plans?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:26.680,0:19:30.840
How will Skeletal Leap pioneers&nbsp;
respond to such a situation?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:32.400,0:19:36.720
The pioneers obviously cannot&nbsp;
do much to reverse the trends.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:37.320,0:19:42.880
But a society transformed with Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
will never entertain these institutions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:44.480,0:19:50.880
Armies and warfare will exist only till the&nbsp;
borders demarcating countries as fragmented</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:50.880,0:19:58.760
chunks of lands continue to exist on earth.
In a transformed society, these fragmented</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:58.760,0:20:06.280
chunks would dissolve exactly like the fragments&nbsp;
of mind do. That is what opening the 7 chakras</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:06.280,0:20:14.120
and getting the Kundalini activated does to these&nbsp;
mental fragments. Till that time, Skeletal Leap</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:14.120,0:20:20.360
pioneers will passionately work toward taking the&nbsp;
number of transformed people to a critical one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:21.800,0:20:26.280
Once the critical number is reached,&nbsp;
the transformation process will get</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:26.280,0:20:33.840
exponentially accelerated automatically. It is&nbsp;
exactly like it happens in nuclear reactors with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:33.840,0:20:40.880
the minimum fissile material&nbsp;necessary to achieve&nbsp;
a self-sustaining fission chain reaction thereon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:42.480,0:20:45.960
What will the millions of&nbsp;
soldiers do when this is achieved?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:47.480,0:20:52.600
They will simply be a great asset for the&nbsp;
society by dint of their specialized training.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:54.200,0:20:58.800
They will make wonderful teams needed&nbsp;
to fight the challenges such as the one</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:58.800,0:21:05.640
already posed by climate change!
Love and Belonging Needs – Marriage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:07.360,0:21:15.640
How could new social systems like marriage, sports&nbsp;
and nations heal themselves in a society energized</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:15.640,0:21:23.000
by Skeletal Leap from this point forward in our&nbsp;
evolution? These are only the suggestive samples</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:23.000,0:21:29.600
that a skeletally transformed society could&nbsp;
tentatively lead to, not the final blueprints.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:31.200,0:21:36.680
Where should the institution of marriage&nbsp;
go from here? This is one of the toughest</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:36.680,0:21:41.760
questions to answer even for someone&nbsp;
who has already undergone Skeletal Leap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:43.120,0:21:45.480
It is because marriage is not marriage alone,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:46.240,0:21:51.960
it also leads to reproduction and parenting&nbsp;
where a third person enters the equation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:53.400,0:22:00.520
But there is at least one solution that may seem&nbsp;
to work. And it can prove to be a revolutionary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:00.520,0:22:05.800
solution that takes care of the ultimate love&nbsp;
and belonging needs in the most natural way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:07.360,0:22:13.960
When a couple enters a relationship, they should&nbsp;
avoid traditional marriage&nbsp;and keep living under</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:13.960,0:22:21.480
separate roofs instead. They should also be free&nbsp;
to enter as many other romantic relationships</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:21.480,0:22:28.880
as they feel like, again without sharing&nbsp;
roofs. This takes care of all three sexual</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.880,0:22:36.760
tendencies present in the Homo sapiens psyche,&nbsp;
namely monogamy, serial monogamy and polygamy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:38.320,0:22:42.640
Whenever one feels like meeting the&nbsp;
other, one should take an appointment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:44.120,0:22:49.000
Such a distance between the two doesn’t&nbsp;
let the relationship go stale and dull.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:50.520,0:22:57.360
Passion and romance are kept intact for a&nbsp;
long time to come. This applies to lovers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:57.360,0:23:03.680
with all three tendencies…monogamist,&nbsp;
serial monogamist and polygamist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:05.280,0:23:11.360
Once the woman has conceived, the child’s&nbsp;
responsibility should be legally assigned to her</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:11.360,0:23:17.880
along with its biological father lifelong.&nbsp;
The custody of the child should always remain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:17.880,0:23:25.360
with the mother as she is the more natural&nbsp;
parent between the two. In such a scenario,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:25.360,0:23:31.240
the child would get accustomed to stay with&nbsp;
the mother alone since the very beginning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:32.800,0:23:37.920
No divorces would ever be there as they&nbsp;
are irrelevant in the absence of marriage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:39.360,0:23:44.440
Nor would there be any trauma to the child&nbsp;
from the separation of their parents ever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:46.120,0:23:51.280
Also, the child would be guaranteed to get&nbsp;
the care and finances from both parents</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:51.280,0:23:53.640
until they start earning on their own.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:55.200,0:24:00.280
It is a win-win situation for all three in&nbsp;
the family living under two different roofs!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:02.000,0:24:07.240
This is the system that marriage may get&nbsp;
replaced with in a society that has already</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:07.240,0:24:12.120
taken its Skeletal Leap.
It is just a proposal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:12.800,0:24:18.240
Many more such proposals may come from a&nbsp;
variety of skeletally transformed Homo sapiens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:19.880,0:24:26.400
Like the fittest survived during the early phases&nbsp;
of evolution, so would the best proposal be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:26.400,0:24:33.520
adopted in action in the present scenario.
Love and Belonging Needs – Sport</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:34.880,0:24:39.560
Can we be intelligent enough to design&nbsp;
sport in a more aesthetic way today?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:41.040,0:24:43.880
How will Skeletal Leap deal with this issue?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:45.320,0:24:52.000
We have fragmented sportsman spirit in&nbsp;
two ugly fragments, namely win and lose.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:53.480,0:24:59.120
The two teams or else two or more&nbsp;
individuals compete with one another</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:59.120,0:25:06.240
trying to perform better than the opponents.
That is a fragmenting competition aimed at showing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:06.240,0:25:11.280
the other down. The right competition&nbsp;
should be there with your own self.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:12.840,0:25:16.880
How can a team or individual&nbsp;
player compete with themselves?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:18.480,0:25:19.680
It is very simple.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:20.320,0:25:25.840
We just need to change the criteria of winning&nbsp;
or losing to a self-competitive paradigm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:27.240,0:25:33.080
Every team or&nbsp; individual player may enter the&nbsp;
venue of the match with a statistical record of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:33.080,0:25:40.720
their past performances. This record may underline&nbsp;
the level of their past performances till date.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:42.040,0:25:49.000
While the match is on, each team or individual&nbsp;
could focus on improving their past record</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:49.000,0:25:55.840
while performing against the other. This is in&nbsp;
complete contrast with concentrating on defeating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:55.840,0:26:05.200
the opponent. There is a difference between focus&nbsp;
and concentration. Focus happens on the entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:05.200,0:26:12.440
undivided whole whereas concentration happens only&nbsp;
partially and only on the fragmented parts of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:12.440,0:26:20.280
whole. Improving one’s own performance amounts&nbsp;
to dealing with the entire undivided whole.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:21.720,0:26:26.680
On the other hand, just defeating the&nbsp;
opponent amounts to dealing with one of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:26.680,0:26:32.800
its fragmented parts against the other.
Brute winning and losing shouldn’t be as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:32.800,0:26:36.840
important as an overall improvement&nbsp;
in the quality of the match.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:38.000,0:26:43.720
Which team or which individual contributed more&nbsp;
in improving the overall quality of the event?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:44.880,0:26:49.400
It can easily be calculated through the&nbsp;
improvement in each one’s performance</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:49.400,0:26:55.360
against the opponent. This improvement can&nbsp;
be calculated through comparing present</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:55.360,0:27:00.640
performance with its past performance&nbsp;
statistics vis-a-vis the same opponents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:02.080,0:27:07.920
This way, it is even possible for a team or&nbsp;
an individual scoring less on the scoreboard</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:07.920,0:27:13.280
getting declared as winner.
Makes sense! Doesn’t it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:14.800,0:27:20.880
That is how Skeletal Leap pioneers might&nbsp;
deal with this issue in a holistic manner</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:20.880,0:27:24.160
establishing sportsman spirit back in the sports.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:25.600,0:27:30.160
Again, it is just one of the proposals&nbsp;
among thousands more of them coming from</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:30.160,0:27:38.240
the most creative sports designers. We just&nbsp;
need to stay open to all such new proposals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:38.240,0:27:43.240
for further evolution of sports as an&nbsp;
important activity coloring the human life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:44.800,0:27:53.120
Let the best one win whosoever it comes from!
Love and Belonging Needs – World Government</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:54.520,0:28:01.360
We have been victims to the worst of all the&nbsp;
social institutions - the politics-business nexus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:02.800,0:28:09.040
We had created it to live life in a more&nbsp;
meaningful way but it stealthily cheated us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:10.600,0:28:13.160
Countries and nationalities have reduced</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:13.160,0:28:18.280
our status from being humans to being&nbsp;
mere nationals of this state or that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:19.800,0:28:24.880
The pioneers of Skeletal Leap would most&nbsp;
probably seek a world government that would</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:24.880,0:28:32.440
end all countries and eliminate the very idea&nbsp;
of nationalities. Such a world government could</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:32.440,0:28:39.600
break all boundaries and dissolve all borders&nbsp;
on the face of the planet. For too long now,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:39.600,0:28:46.560
these borders have been making our beautiful world&nbsp;
look ugly from within as well as from a distance!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:48.040,0:28:53.360
And the best thing is that in the present day&nbsp;
scenario of already having developed a global</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:53.360,0:29:02.960
consciousness, we, the Homo sapiens, CAN do it.
An Improbable (Almost Impossible) Utopia:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:04.400,0:29:11.040
What if Israel and Palestine decide to break their&nbsp;
borders and unite as one single nation one day?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:12.280,0:29:16.920
I know it is not very probable but it&nbsp;
is not theoretically impossible either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:18.440,0:29:23.160
Just for the sake of argument, let&nbsp;
us assume that it happens some day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:24.720,0:29:29.000
Today’s Israelis and Palestinians&nbsp;
will keep living where they are.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:30.520,0:29:34.480
In fact, they will start living a much&nbsp;
better life than they are living now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:35.960,0:29:41.240
The definitions of patriotism and&nbsp;
sedition will change for them overnight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:42.800,0:29:50.120
The best that will happen is they will stop hating&nbsp;
each other. That is since the two of them will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:50.120,0:29:56.760
be each other’s ‘countrymen’ now.
Extending Utopia A Step Further</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:58.440,0:30:02.400
We can extend the same argument to&nbsp;
all the other lands under conflict.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:03.720,0:30:08.600
We can further expand our national borders&nbsp;
from one corner of the world to the other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:10.120,0:30:17.400
Patriotism and sedition as concepts as well as&nbsp;
moral or immoral values will become history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:18.720,0:30:22.480
They will be left with no role&nbsp;
to play in the new world order.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:24.040,0:30:28.960
We will be able to love all of humanity&nbsp;
without any condition defining and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:28.960,0:30:34.800
describing one’s nationality.
What&nbsp;Stephen Hawking Had to Say:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:36.400,0:30:42.480
I must quote what Stephen Hawking, the renowned&nbsp;
physicist, had to say before his death.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:43.840,0:30:49.720
It was in the context of nationalities especially&nbsp;
at a crucial point of time in human history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:51.160,0:30:57.360
It was when newly surging right wing politics&nbsp;
had started spreading almost all over the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:58.960,0:31:03.200
It had already strengthened the&nbsp;
sentiments of narrow nationalism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:03.200,0:31:05.760
and the subsequent chunks of patriotism:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:07.280,0:31:12.560
Stephen Hawking, physicist of the&nbsp;
left — particularly because of his</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:12.560,0:31:19.680
insistence there is no God but rather a Mother&nbsp;
Nature that’s gone haywire from human-induced</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:19.680,0:31:27.600
climate change — has just released his brainiac&nbsp;
solution to so-called Mankind’s Biggest Threat,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:27.600,0:31:35.280
technology, and it can be summed in this simple,&nbsp;
easy-to-remember phrase: “World government.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:36.480,0:31:41.120
Courtesy: Washington Times 9th March, 2017</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:42.360,0:31:49.040
Skeletal Leap always aims at dissolving all&nbsp;
kinds of fragmentation whether in the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:49.040,0:31:57.840
or else in the world. It looks at Gaia, a concept&nbsp;
in which the earth is a female living organism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:57.840,0:32:02.600
as one single whole which should&nbsp;
never be divided in any further parts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:04.080,0:32:09.040
There is no place for any divisive&nbsp;
concept like patriotism in its worldview.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:10.720,0:32:16.960
Pioneers of Skeletal Leap would consider&nbsp;
themselves to be world citizens and humanity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:16.960,0:32:24.680
as their nationality. It recognizes and then&nbsp;
discards all other notions of nationality as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:24.680,0:32:32.520
faulty constructs of the mind. That was what&nbsp;
Jiddu Krishnamurti who was an enlightened soul</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:32.520,0:32:43.360
always did too, declaring himself a world-citizen.
Esteem Needs – Ethical Insight Vs Value Systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:44.960,0:32:49.040
What will the pioneers of Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap do with their value system?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:50.480,0:32:56.160
Let us peep inside a few glimpses of how&nbsp;
new value systems could heal themselves</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:56.160,0:33:01.640
in a society energized by Skeletal Leap at&nbsp;
this evolutionary juncture of time, today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:03.120,0:33:07.680
These are only the suggestive samples&nbsp;
that a skeletally transformed society</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:07.680,0:33:11.520
could tentatively lead to,&nbsp;
not the final blueprints.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:12.920,0:33:19.960
It is simple. They won’t need any defined value&nbsp;
system to guide them. When our brain thinks</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:19.960,0:33:26.840
independent of any interference from the mind,&nbsp;
it follows aesthetically dynamic and innately</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:26.840,0:33:33.520
ethical actions automatically. Empathy and&nbsp;
compassion guide our actions in such a scenario.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:34.960,0:33:40.320
On the other hand, all those established values&nbsp;
play a very aggressive role in suppressing our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:40.320,0:33:47.160
natural flow of energy. Aggression is a&nbsp;
male characteristic that turned a natural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:47.160,0:33:52.920
matriarchal system into an artificial patriarchy&nbsp;
with the help of an imposed value system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:54.200,0:33:59.520
Something that we are still paying a&nbsp;
heavy price for as modern human society!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:00.920,0:34:06.320
Cognitive Needs – Education
Clubs of Knowledge</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:07.840,0:34:13.560
We need to change the academic regimentation in&nbsp;
our schools and replace it with something more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:13.560,0:34:21.360
interesting. And that may, for example,&nbsp;
be an interesting array of activities</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:21.360,0:34:26.800
assimilated and distilled by the insightful&nbsp;
masters of the connected disciplines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:28.160,0:34:33.760
And that array of activities might&nbsp;
demonstrate their discipline in action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:35.080,0:34:40.880
It could also tell stories of the developments&nbsp;
achieved by the great masters in the discipline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:41.720,0:34:44.880
It might even be the history&nbsp;
of that particular discipline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:46.360,0:34:50.120
It will tend to turn schools&nbsp;
into clubs of knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:51.440,0:34:54.080
Replacing Schools with Clubs of Knowledge</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:55.480,0:35:01.240
It is a well-known fact that the naive&nbsp;
minds don’t assimilate abstract knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:02.520,0:35:08.720
They have an innate tendency to get attracted&nbsp;
to real activities and the stories behind them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:09.680,0:35:14.880
Not the fabricated ones that are&nbsp;
being practiced in most schools today!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:16.240,0:35:21.080
These clubs of knowledge can easily&nbsp;
attract and, more importantly,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:21.080,0:35:28.360
hold the attention of these naive minds.&nbsp;
It only happens if they are left free to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:28.360,0:35:33.200
move around any area of activity&nbsp;
going on in such proposed clubs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:34.560,0:35:41.280
Soon these naive minds show an inclination to&nbsp;
frequent a specific activity more than the rest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:42.720,0:35:46.920
That is when the insightful&nbsp;
masters should catch hold of them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:46.920,0:35:49.680
and move further from that point onward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:51.160,0:35:55.080
Academics Takes A Secondary&nbsp;
But More Effective Role</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:56.680,0:36:04.040
Now they have a real natural motivation to learn&nbsp;
the abstract tools of knowledge aka academics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:05.360,0:36:08.360
They would otherwise have despised them earlier</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:08.360,0:36:11.440
when they hadn’t really known&nbsp;
why they were learning them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:12.800,0:36:18.120
They will automatically learn to use&nbsp;
these required abstract tools later</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:18.120,0:36:22.240
if they have a clear idea why they&nbsp;
are learning them in the first place,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:23.080,0:36:29.720
i.e., to solve a real problem springing up while&nbsp;
they are on to some task in the said discipline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:31.120,0:36:36.600
A Win-Win Situation
The crux of the solution is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:36.600,0:36:43.560
that if we really want to nurture talent, we&nbsp;
should discover it first. It is best done in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:43.560,0:36:50.040
very beginning of primary education, designing&nbsp;
it around the disciplines of their talents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:51.400,0:36:55.880
They will love their&nbsp;clubs of knowledge&nbsp;
way more than their current schools</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:55.880,0:37:01.160
and humanity will enjoy the benefits from&nbsp;
their contributions to these disciplines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:02.600,0:37:08.000
This will be one of the most creative roles&nbsp;
Skeletal Leap plays in the sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:08.000,0:37:12.960
evolution of humanity by changing&nbsp;
schools into clubs of knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:14.280,0:37:15.600
Aesthetic Needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:17.040,0:37:23.000
A new consciousness courtesy Skeletal Leap would&nbsp;
automatically pervade through all aesthetically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:23.000,0:37:32.360
creative pursuits including poetry, drama, cinema,&nbsp;
fiction and other forms providing great classics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:33.520,0:37:38.840
We might not need making any conscious&nbsp;
efforts to actuate this state of affairs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:38.840,0:37:44.000
in the world of aesthetics.
Self-Actualization Needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:45.400,0:37:51.640
Again, Skeletal Leap in itself is the&nbsp;
mother of all self-actualization skills.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:52.400,0:37:58.800
And the best thing is that it does not&nbsp;
require ambition to activate it. We just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:58.800,0:38:05.200
need to take a leap into it out of curiosity&nbsp;
and the said leap takes care of all the rest!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:06.680,0:38:12.880
Personal Heaven Leading to Collective Heaven
Miracles do happen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:14.320,0:38:18.560
We just need to take their cognizance&nbsp;
and analyze their patterns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:20.000,0:38:27.120
It takes a lot of sensitivity to take their&nbsp;
cognizance. And it takes a lot of experimentation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:27.120,0:38:33.000
to analyze the patterns they follow.
I had always been quite sensitive to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:33.000,0:38:40.360
take cognizance of biological processes and of&nbsp;
their consequent sociocultural effects in groups.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:41.840,0:38:47.360
I would also analyze their patterns in their&nbsp;
minutest details along with their consequent</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:47.360,0:38:55.520
effects on the subjects’ health and personalities.
If it improves their health conclusively,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:55.520,0:38:59.240
it is bound to change their&nbsp;
personalities in the right direction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:00.520,0:39:07.240
It is a change in an individual personality that&nbsp;
initiates the process of a sociocultural change</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:07.240,0:39:14.880
in a society. And when a sufficient number of&nbsp;
individual personality changes has taken place,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:15.440,0:39:19.720
the process of consequent&nbsp;
sociocultural change gathers momentum.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:21.120,0:39:27.520
There is always a condition that these personality&nbsp;
changes must be profound enough to do the needful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:28.920,0:39:34.760
They should also be aligned with one another&nbsp;
to effect the consequent sociocultural changes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:34.760,0:39:40.920
in a single, desired direction.
How can that individual personality</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:40.920,0:39:46.920
change be initiated? And how can it be&nbsp;
ensured that such a change is profound?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:48.120,0:39:54.280
The answer to both in the context of&nbsp;
the present podcast is: Skeletal Leap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:55.560,0:40:02.160
An individual Skeletal Leap transforms an&nbsp;
individual life into one’s own personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:03.600,0:40:07.720
A collective Skeletal Leap has the&nbsp;
potential to transform the entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:07.720,0:40:16.120
world into a collective heaven worth living in.
I think our species, at this evolutionary juncture</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:16.120,0:40:23.320
of time, is the apt custodian of life on the sole&nbsp;
‘living planet’ in the entire known universe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:24.880,0:40:31.000
Are we ready to gift a better life to ourselves&nbsp;
today and bequeath a better world to our loved</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:31.000,0:40:40.600
ones for tomorrow? A life devoid of disease,&nbsp;
stress, despair and unfulfilled emotions!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:41.320,0:40:49.080
And a world devoid of barbed wires, turmoil,&nbsp;
confusion, competition, conspiracies,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:49.080,0:40:56.240
scarcity and, most significantly, a world devoid&nbsp;
of a lurking threat of climatic apocalypse!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:57.840,0:41:04.160
It has the potential to lead us to a&nbsp;
life replete with health, energy, joy,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:04.160,0:41:12.680
passion and fulfillment! And a world replete&nbsp;
with freedom, peace, insight, collaboration,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:12.680,0:41:19.440
opportunities, abundance and a safe&nbsp;
future for all species of life on earth!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:20.960,0:41:25.680
Let’s first take our personal Skeletal&nbsp;

Welcome back to the 34th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



Today’s episode titled "Manifesting A Cool Heaven on Earth with Skeletal Leap!" will tell you about manifesting a collective heaven on earth via a paradigm shift in everything we do whether biologically or socioculturally.



If we want peace on earth, we first need to have our minds at peace..



It is only possible by emptying the mind and returning it to the job that it has been designed for.



The said job is to review the psychedelic perceptions of the brain and comprehend them while staying in tune with human instincts.



The actions are all taken by the brain itself in an instantly spontaneous way.



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

Welcome back to the 34th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



In this enlightening episode titled "Manifesting a Collective Heaven on Earth with Skeletal Leap!", I explore the profound connection between individual transformation and collective evolution.



As we stand at this pivotal evolutionary juncture, I explain the significance of achieving inner peace as a precursor to world peace.



Through the lens of Skeletal Leap, I discover how emptying the mind and aligning with our natural instincts can unlock the true potential of our intelligence, leading to spontaneous and joyful actions.



The episode highlights the urgent need for a collective push toward a new consciousness—a movement that can dismantle outdated socio-cultural institutions and guide humanity toward a harmonious existence.



I also contemplate the challenges faced by pioneers of this new paradigm and how they might navigate a world that often contradicts their enlightened perspectives.






The role of individual transformation in creating a collective heaven



The importance of aligning our actions with our instincts for a joyful life



How a shift in consciousness can lead to the dissolution of harmful sociocultural structures



The potential for a world without borders, fostering unity over division



Innovative proposals for reimagining societal institutions like marriage and sports

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 33rd episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs!</strong>” will tell you about corruption in education system, self-improvement industry and organized religion.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">In Episode 29, we saw how humanity handed over the reins of cognition to its collective autonomous mind instead of a spontaneous collective brain.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">Thus our very cognition was the first casualty.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">Therefore, when we started pursuing our collective growth needs, all of which are based on our cognition, we were already operating from a closed sociocultural solar plexus chakra and a host of other closed chakras due to corrupted pursuits of our deficiency needs.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">It is no surprise that we ended up with more corrupted institutions that claim to fulfill our cognitive, self-actualization and transcendence needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>

<h2 id="wants-vs-needs-corruption-of-growth-needs-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs!”, I explain the intricate corruption present within our education system, the self-improvement industry, and organized religion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I explore the impact of closed socio-cultural chakras on our collective growth, I uncover how the pursuit of social status has overshadowed genuine cognitive and self-actualization needs. The education system, designed to nurture knowledge, has instead become a factory for producing mere qualifications, transforming eager learners into mechanical cogs in a relentless production wheel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also examine the self-improvement industry, where ambition has eclipsed passion, leading to a commodification of self-actualization that prioritizes perfection over excellence.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, organized religion emerges as a complex web of competing beliefs, often sacrificing the true essence of transcendence for the sake of dogma and division.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I navigate through these pressing issues, questioning the very foundations of our societal structures and their effects on our individual and collective well-being. This episode is a call to reflect on the true nature of our needs and the systems that claim to fulfill them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, I explore the following:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The impact of social status on education and its implications for cognitive growth.</li>



<li>How ambition has transformed the self-improvement industry into a pursuit of perfection.</li>



<li>The fragmentation of organized religion and its consequences for societal unity.</li>
</ul>

Is it just random that the best talent humanity is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:04.480,0:00:08.800
benefiting from comes mostly from&nbsp;
the echelons of college dropouts?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:21.640,0:00:27.480
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to&nbsp;
“Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:28.360,0:00:32.560
Skeletal Leap transforms one’s&nbsp;
life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:33.800,0:00:38.040
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
corruption in education system,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:38.680,0:00:42.600
self-improvement industry and organized religion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:44.040,0:00:52.200
In Episode 29, we saw how humanity handed over the&nbsp;
reins of cognition to its collective autonomous</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:52.200,0:01:00.880
mind instead of a spontaneous collective brain.&nbsp;
Thus our very cognition was the first casualty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:02.320,0:01:07.320
Therefore, when we started pursuing our&nbsp;
collective growth needs, all of which are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:07.320,0:01:14.400
based on our cognition, we were already operating&nbsp;
from a closed sociocultural solar plexus chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:14.400,0:01:20.280
and a host of other closed chakras due to&nbsp;
corrupted pursuits of our deficiency needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:21.760,0:01:25.760
It is no surprise that we ended up&nbsp;
with more corrupted institutions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:25.760,0:01:31.560
that claim to fulfill our cognitive,&nbsp;
self-actualization and transcendence needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:32.960,0:01:38.920
Our education system falls under sociocultural&nbsp;
solar plexus chakra that aims to fulfill</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:38.920,0:01:44.480
cognitive needs by renewing the brain&nbsp;
continuously and energizing it cyclically.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:45.840,0:01:52.920
However, the currency it uses is ‘social status’&nbsp;
such as qualifications and specializations</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:52.920,0:01:59.680
that fall in the domain of the mind rather than&nbsp;
brain, thus closing the sociocultural solar plexus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:01.600,0:02:06.520
chakra.&nbsp;Qualifications and specializations&nbsp;
turned more important than fulfilling</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:06.520,0:02:12.480
cognitive needs in an insightful manner.&nbsp;
Thus, the noble pursuit of educating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:12.480,0:02:17.360
the new generation with insight turned&nbsp;
into regimented knowledge replicators.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:18.960,0:02:25.520
Today, it has reduced itself to transforming new&nbsp;
generations into efficient mechanical cogs in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:25.520,0:02:33.200
ever-rotating wheel of unending production.&nbsp;It all&nbsp;
happened using the currency of ‘social status’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.760,0:02:38.320
This directly led to the social disease of elitism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:38.320,0:02:45.040
that looks down upon the masses and is akin to&nbsp;
closing our sociocultural solar plexus chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:46.560,0:02:50.880
Sociocultural Systems for&nbsp;
Cognitive Needs: Education System</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:52.440,0:02:57.200
Homo sapiens had always had the&nbsp;
onus of educating their young ones</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:57.200,0:03:01.840
to the level of knowledge that the&nbsp;
former generation had reached up to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:03.400,0:03:10.080
With Homo sapiens as opposed to with any other&nbsp;
species, it has always been necessary to do so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:11.560,0:03:17.280
And with the passage of time through their&nbsp;
evolution, our species has been experimenting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:17.280,0:03:24.080
with various ways to do it most effectively&nbsp;
ever since our brain size started enhancing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:25.640,0:03:31.000
As far as we have reached up to this point&nbsp;
of time, the education system has become</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.000,0:03:35.320
one of the most important&nbsp;social&nbsp;
institutions&nbsp;in modern human life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:36.920,0:03:42.280
I always had my reservations about the education&nbsp;
system that we were being subjected to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:43.880,0:03:49.800
It had dawned upon me as soon as I first set&nbsp;
foot inside a school more than 60 years ago.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:51.280,0:03:57.040
The way this system works is like a machine&nbsp;
churning out manufactured goods on an assembly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:57.040,0:04:04.080
line. The only difference is that it manufactures&nbsp;
graduates in various disciplines of learning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:05.400,0:04:11.000
The onus of educating the new generation is&nbsp;
on the shoulders of the immediately older one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:12.600,0:04:17.560
That is how the new generation starts its&nbsp;
journey of growing and developing knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:19.160,0:04:25.440
And that is how knowledge grows further from the&nbsp;
point that the older generation has brought it to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:26.920,0:04:29.680
Education System for Junior Classes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:31.120,0:04:37.200
The knowledge that humanity has gathered and&nbsp;
developed up to this point of time is vast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:38.680,0:04:46.400
It is so vast that no single individual&nbsp;
can ingest it all in its totality. We can,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:46.400,0:04:53.160
at best, have a bird’s eye view of its entire&nbsp;
repertoire and call it our general knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:54.560,0:04:59.600
That is what we are taught up to our&nbsp;
high school or higher secondary classes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:01.120,0:05:06.000
General knowledge doesn’t make us&nbsp;
a master in any of its disciplines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:07.480,0:05:13.320
And, unless we master a discipline in&nbsp;
its entirety, we can neither practice</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:13.320,0:05:20.120
it properly nor develop it further.
Education System for Senior Classes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:21.600,0:05:25.880
So, after our high school or&nbsp;
higher secondary education,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:25.880,0:05:33.560
we need to choose any one of these endless number&nbsp;
of disciplines to specialize in. Then, we need to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:33.560,0:05:44.000
study it as wide and as deep as we can or wish to.
Ability to wisely choose what we effectively can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.000,0:05:48.440
and wish to study in detail&nbsp;
depends on our aptitude.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:49.960,0:05:56.680
It doesn’t merely depend on what we studied in&nbsp;
our junior classes but on how we studied them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:58.160,0:06:02.400
And this is where our education&nbsp;
system fails us miserably.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:03.920,0:06:10.400
It doesn’t nurture talent well. It rather&nbsp;
suppresses it to a detrimental level.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:11.960,0:06:19.200
Pitfalls in Our Primary Education
The moment we are made to start our education,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:19.200,0:06:25.760
we are subjected to a complicated array&nbsp;
of academic regimentation. We are taught</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:25.760,0:06:30.720
mechanically without any real insight into&nbsp;
the subject on the part of the teacher.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:32.040,0:06:38.040
They teach academics to the naive minds that&nbsp;
have naturally been designed to exploring</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:38.040,0:06:45.160
what their elders have in store for them.
Unfortunately, we are discouraged to explore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:46.720,0:06:52.960
We are rather expected to conform to the authority&nbsp;
by simply practicing the tools of knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:54.400,0:06:59.400
These tools are like written symbols of&nbsp;
spoken language and mechanically taught</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:59.400,0:07:06.200
procedures of mathematical operations.
In addition, we are expected to learn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:06.200,0:07:11.640
uninteresting academic details of scientific&nbsp;
and social achievements of mankind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:13.200,0:07:18.280
We do it to the satisfaction of the&nbsp;
examining authorities who assess us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:19.840,0:07:25.920
They grade us based on how much of this&nbsp;
nonsense we were able to vomit out in tests.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:27.640,0:07:29.480
Curiosity Gets Killed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:31.120,0:07:35.520
We start hating academics and try&nbsp;
to avoid it as much as we can.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:36.880,0:07:44.800
Our curiosity gets killed in this mechanical&nbsp;
process of learning. As curiosity gets killed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:44.800,0:07:53.760
we cannot discover our talents. They rather get&nbsp;
suppressed deep inside us never to show up again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:55.200,0:08:02.160
Every single child who takes birth on earth&nbsp;
brings at least one talent that s/he can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:02.160,0:08:09.600
develop to master. But that is only in case s/he&nbsp;
is able to discover it in the very first place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:11.120,0:08:17.240
The best talent we are born with is our&nbsp;
aptitude for a specific discipline of knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:18.720,0:08:21.440
Humanity Loses An Opportunity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:22.880,0:08:28.720
We are rarely able to discover our talents&nbsp;
and therefore don’t pursue them in the later</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:28.720,0:08:35.560
years of our education. We rather pursue&nbsp;
another discipline for some other reason.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:37.000,0:08:44.160
We will never excel in it as much as we would if&nbsp;
we had discovered and pursued our inborn talent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:45.440,0:08:52.720
As it happens, humanity loses another great&nbsp;
opportunity to benefit from another great talent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:54.040,0:08:58.480
It is tragic that it loses a talent&nbsp;
in a discipline that never got</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:58.480,0:09:05.160
discovered and was lost in the oblivion.
Is it just random that the best talent</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:05.160,0:09:10.120
humanity is benefiting from comes mostly&nbsp;
from the echelons of college dropouts?</p>

Sociocultural Systems for Self-Actualization&nbsp;
Needs: Self-Improvement Industry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:19.200,0:09:25.991
Soft skill development falls under sociocultural&nbsp;
third eye chakra which strives to lead to self</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:25.991,0:09:35.240
actualization in the society. The currency it&nbsp;
uses is ‘ambition’. Ambitions spring out of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:35.240,0:09:44.000
the mind alone. Our brains want us to pledge and&nbsp;
commit but our ambitious minds come in the way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:45.560,0:09:51.720
When ‘ambition’ became more important than&nbsp;
fulfilling self-actualization needs, it defeated</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:51.720,0:09:58.280
the whole purpose of self-actualization which&nbsp;
is to let passion and joy flourish within us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:59.920,0:10:05.320
Achieving goals became more important than the&nbsp;
joy of the process that could take one there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:06.800,0:10:11.320
It is no wonder, then, that ends&nbsp;
started justifying the means,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:11.840,0:10:16.000
thereby rendering the sociocultural&nbsp;
third-eye chakra firmly shut.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:17.400,0:10:21.200
The self-improvement industry was&nbsp;
born right out of this chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:22.600,0:10:28.960
Self-actualization needs were originally meant&nbsp;
to be fulfilled via soft skill development as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:28.960,0:10:37.240
a personal concern of an individual. It enabled&nbsp;
passion and joy to flourish, driven by curiosity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:37.240,0:10:44.680
to extend and expand hard skills learnt in the&nbsp;
education system. Such passion and joy has the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:44.680,0:10:53.080
power to drive one toward achieving excellence in&nbsp;
their self-actualization pursuits. However, slowly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:53.080,0:10:59.240
and gradually, the currency, namely ‘ambition’,&nbsp;
itself became more important than passion and joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:00.680,0:11:07.320
This gave rise to an entirely new industry that we&nbsp;
now know as the ‘self-improvement’ industry which</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:07.320,0:11:14.800
commercialized self-actualization. Consequently,&nbsp;
excellence got replaced by perfection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:16.240,0:11:21.000
Self-actualization needs got&nbsp;
usurped by the currency of ambition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:22.440,0:11:28.680
Excellence is a perennial process that&nbsp;
never stops, it is rather a way of life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:29.520,0:11:36.640
On the other hand, perfection is an end in&nbsp;
itself which has no further prospects to improve.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:37.920,0:11:43.400
This ended up closing the sociocultural&nbsp;
third eye chakra generating an army of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:43.400,0:11:50.280
ambitious humans paying lip-service to idea of&nbsp;
excellence while chasing perfection all along.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:51.880,0:11:57.320
Sociocultural Systems for&nbsp;
Transcendence Needs: Organized Religion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:58.920,0:12:03.200
Organized religion falls under&nbsp;
sociocultural crown chakra looking</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:03.200,0:12:09.800
forward to transcendence in society.&nbsp;
The currency it uses for the purpose is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:11.840,0:12:17.080
Unfortunately, this currency has corrupted&nbsp;
the genuine need for transcendence</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:17.080,0:12:22.720
resulting in multiple religions, almost&nbsp;
all of them at daggers drawn between them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:24.160,0:12:31.160
The highly revered rituals of ‘faith’ became more&nbsp;
important than the ultimate needs of transcendence</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:31.160,0:12:38.080
that they were meant to serve as a currency.&nbsp;
Religion started with the expression of awe</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:38.080,0:12:43.920
for natural order and a recognition of the&nbsp;
growth needs of transcendence in society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:45.400,0:12:50.560
But it soon fragmented itself into&nbsp;
organized religions which ultimately</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:50.560,0:12:57.920
devolved into contending systems of belief,&nbsp;
blind faith and fanatic moralistic reverence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.400,0:13:06.000
Religion as an entity started with an expression&nbsp;
of awe over the miraculous events happening</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:06.000,0:13:14.880
around a recently evolved brain. But as early Homo&nbsp;
sapiens could not find any rationale for the same,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:14.880,0:13:22.760
they took an easy way out. They constituted&nbsp;
a new element of faith in the supernatural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:22.760,0:13:26.280
which all religions share&nbsp;
with one another till date.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:27.920,0:13:33.240
During both the hunting-gathering&nbsp;
and, later, the agricultural eras,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:33.240,0:13:42.600
the following traits of religiosity prevailed:
Animism | Belief in an afterlife | Shamanism |</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:42.600,0:13:51.000
Ancestor worship | High gods who created human&nbsp;
life | High gods who are active in human affairs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:52.360,0:13:59.280
Animism amounts to attributing intent and&nbsp;
lifelike qualities to inanimate objects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:00.600,0:14:07.840
This might have caused a belief in supernatural&nbsp;
aspects of unexplained natural facts seen around.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:09.240,0:14:15.840
The seed of animism could easily spill&nbsp;
over to a belief in an afterlife, shamanism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:15.840,0:14:24.800
and ancestral worship. Later when hunter-gatherer&nbsp;
communities turned into agricultural communities,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:24.800,0:14:31.840
social hierarchies started coming into&nbsp;
existence. Thus, the egalitarian pattern</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:31.840,0:14:37.760
of the hunting-gathering era gave way to&nbsp;
a paradigm of ‘rulers versus the ruled’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:39.120,0:14:43.880
High gods must have been in tune&nbsp;
with the newly emerging experiences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:45.280,0:14:49.760
Consequently, a belief in high&nbsp;
gods having created humans</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:49.760,0:14:57.800
and then actively controlling their affairs might&nbsp;
have been formed. As a result, the king started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:57.800,0:15:03.520
getting considered to be a representative of these&nbsp;
high gods in controlling his subjects’ lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:04.720,0:15:12.760
Today two-third of human population identifies&nbsp;
with one religion or another. But the geographical</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:12.760,0:15:18.920
distribution of this percentage is in a state&nbsp;
of flux presently and in future projections.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:20.240,0:15:25.120
For example, at present China is going&nbsp;
through a phase of religious revival.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:26.440,0:15:31.400
Protestant Christianity is growing&nbsp;
at an annual rate of 10% there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:32.880,0:15:35.360
It has already crossed the 100 million mark.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:36.760,0:15:42.840
It is projected that it will become the world’s&nbsp;
largest Christian population by the year 2030.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:44.280,0:15:52.360
In contrast, the number of believers is sharply&nbsp;
going down in Western Europe. In Scotland,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:52.360,0:16:01.960
59% of its population has gone non-religious&nbsp;
openly, with 66% being women and 55% men.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:03.400,0:16:09.760
This might be a result of people’s exposure to&nbsp;
a scientific outlook and a rational world view</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:09.760,0:16:17.320
in developed countries. Science and religion&nbsp;
have always gone along two opposite tangents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:18.760,0:16:24.880
Both claim to establish the truth but there&nbsp;
is a huge difference in their approaches.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:26.280,0:16:29.960
While science is only one&nbsp;
single body all over the world,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:30.480,0:16:37.440
there are more than 1000 religions, many of&nbsp;
them making claims contradictory to one another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:38.800,0:16:45.400
Also, science has always proved what it says&nbsp;
is true either logically or statistically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:45.920,0:16:50.960
whereas religion hasn’t been able&nbsp;
to prove even one of its own claims.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:52.320,0:16:58.400
I remember an amusing story from my life when&nbsp;
I had just secured my graduation in electronics</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:58.400,0:17:06.080
engineering. I applied for a government job&nbsp;
in Defense Research Development Organization</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:06.080,0:17:09.560
as a scientific officer in&nbsp;
one of its laboratories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:10.920,0:17:15.840
After a few days, I received an interview&nbsp;
call from Union Public Service Commission.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.120,0:17:20.880
I headed to its venue to face the&nbsp;
interview on the scheduled date.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:22.600,0:17:28.720
As I reached the venue of the interview, I saw&nbsp;
hundreds of candidates waiting to be interviewed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:28.720,0:17:37.360
for the same post. It was only one single vacancy&nbsp;
and there were so many candidates vying for it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:37.360,0:17:44.640
it being a premium position. Seeing such a&nbsp;
huge crowd, I immediately made up my mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:44.640,0:17:52.960
for psychologically getting ready to be rejected.&nbsp;
Mathematically speaking, I had only 0.5% chance</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:52.960,0:17:59.840
of getting selected. And the interview board had&nbsp;
to complete all the interviews in one single day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:01.160,0:18:06.960
Hence everyone was being given around 2.5&nbsp;
minutes to prove their worth for the post.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:08.320,0:18:16.800
After a long wait, came my turn. I entered&nbsp;
the interview hall. There was a board of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:16.800,0:18:22.000
four interviewers headed by the chairman&nbsp;
sitting on the other side of a huge table.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:23.360,0:18:29.600
I greeted them and the chairman offered me a seat&nbsp;
on the lone chair kept in front of their table.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:31.040,0:18:36.160
I was ready to answer any questions they&nbsp;
would ask me for the next 2.5 minutes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:37.600,0:18:42.560
My application form was lying in front&nbsp;
of the chairman who&nbsp; looked perplexed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:42.560,0:18:48.360
as he pored over it. I waited quietly&nbsp;
to meet his first question with the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:48.360,0:18:56.880
best technically correct answer I could muster.
After a long eerie silence, came the chairman’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:56.880,0:19:04.760
first question in the form of a blame. He really&nbsp;
attacked me, saying, “What have you written here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:04.760,0:19:10.640
in your form under the “religion” column? You&nbsp;
have written “N.A.”. What do you mean by that?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:12.000,0:19:18.320
I was amused. I said, “Sir,&nbsp;
N.A. means not applicable.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:19.760,0:19:26.120
He got offended, “Well, I know&nbsp;
what N.A. means. What I am asking</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:26.120,0:19:33.920
is how it’s possible that it’s not applicable.”
I coolly said, “It’s because I don’t have any.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:35.560,0:19:40.080
“Any what?” he was getting impatient&nbsp;
as well as irritated with me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:41.560,0:19:44.600
“Religion! I don’t have any religion.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:46.200,0:19:50.920
“But how’s that possible?” he wasn’t&nbsp;
able to believe what I was saying.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:52.440,0:19:58.240
“It’s possible, sir. You can see one in&nbsp;
front of you sitting here,” I smiled.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:59.520,0:20:04.040
“Don’t your parents have a religion?”&nbsp;
came the next question from him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:04.880,0:20:11.320
The other three members were absolutely quiet.
“They do,” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:12.640,0:20:18.360
“Then by default you have inherited it&nbsp;
from them,” he tried to make me understand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:19.880,0:20:22.880
“I don’t think religion is an inheritable entity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:23.560,0:20:28.760
One needs to develop one’s own faith&nbsp;
to follow a certain religion,” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:30.120,0:20:35.880
He further got more perplexed, “And do you&nbsp;
say you haven’t developed your faith yet?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:37.240,0:20:43.000
“Yes, I couldn’t,” I said, “and I don’t&nbsp;
think we should develop any faith ever.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:44.440,0:20:47.120
He wasn’t able to believe what I was saying.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:48.200,0:20:53.880
He almost shrieked, “What are you&nbsp;
talking? Are you a negative personality?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:55.400,0:21:00.680
I didn’t lose my cool, “No sir,&nbsp;
I am an agnostic personality.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:02.160,0:21:07.480
“Do you mean atheist?” the inflection&nbsp;
in his voice suggested scorn.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:08.920,0:21:15.160
I still kept my cool, “I am an agnostic.”
“What does that mean?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:16.000,0:21:20.640
looked like he wasn’t much familiar with&nbsp;
the deep meaning of this particular word.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:22.040,0:21:25.480
I tried to tell him the&nbsp;
differences between, theism,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:26.120,0:21:31.120
atheism and agnosticism. But&nbsp;
he didn’t look convinced.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:32.520,0:21:38.600
We kept discussing on this same topic for&nbsp;
15 long minutes when, suddenly, he realized</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:38.600,0:21:45.120
he was under pressure of time. He immediately&nbsp;
said, “Let’s have the technical interview now.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:46.520,0:21:50.880
He wasn’t looking very pleased with the&nbsp;
direction that our discussion had taken</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:50.880,0:21:58.880
exposing his intolerance. Under the influence&nbsp;
of his value system, he might have pre-assessed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:58.880,0:22:06.520
my technical knowledge to be pathetic. Hence, to&nbsp;
show me down, he might have thought of mocking me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:08.120,0:22:14.960
He asked me the easiest question on the topic at&nbsp;
hand to check if I knew at least that much or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:16.360,0:22:21.560
“Can you even draw an adder circuit?”&nbsp;
he was smiling conspiringly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:23.120,0:22:27.640
“No sir, I don’t remember it&nbsp;
right at the moment,” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.840,0:22:33.920
His smile went wider, “You don’t even&nbsp;
know how to draw an adder circuit?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:34.440,0:22:40.640
his tone oozed with condescension.
“No sir, I do know how</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:40.640,0:22:46.840
but not off-hand because I don’t keep my mind&nbsp;
burdened with information alone,” I explained.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:48.280,0:22:54.040
“What’ll you do if you need to draw it during&nbsp;
your work?” he challenged me once again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:55.480,0:23:00.240
“I will deduce it then and there,”&nbsp;
I offered the immediate solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:01.480,0:23:03.880
“And how much time will you take deducing it?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:04.600,0:23:08.040
he was trying to show that it&nbsp;
wasn’t a feasible solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:09.440,0:23:13.560
“Say, 20 seconds,” I threw&nbsp;
his challenge back to him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:15.000,0:23:19.280
“Here is your paper and here is&nbsp;
your pen. Your time starts now!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:19.800,0:23:22.720
he started looking at his watch as he said this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:24.280,0:23:29.360
I was on my job without losing any&nbsp;
time. And when I gave back my paper</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:29.360,0:23:35.000
in just 15 seconds with deduction and&nbsp;
drawing, he could not believe his eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:36.560,0:23:41.240
“Did you really deduce it right now&nbsp;
or are you just trying to impress us?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:42.000,0:23:48.240
he asked, doubting my intentions.
“I don’t think I need to impress you, sir,”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:48.800,0:23:52.640
by this time I had become fed&nbsp;
up of his senile behavior.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:54.120,0:23:58.960
“Okay, that’s it. You can go&nbsp;
now,” he said in a curt voice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:00.400,0:24:06.240
As I was going back, I heard him saying&nbsp;
in a sorry tone, “God bless you!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:07.560,0:24:15.760
It was as if he was seeking His pardon on my&nbsp;
behalf. While walking out of the interview hall,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:15.760,0:24:21.880
I checked the time and realized that I&nbsp;
had been in there for full 18 minutes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:23.280,0:24:27.080
And none of the other three members&nbsp;
of the interview board had asked me</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:27.080,0:24:29.920
a single question during all that time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:31.360,0:24:35.920
I gave up all hopes of getting selected&nbsp;
and started applying elsewhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:37.440,0:24:43.080
But, to my utter astonishment, one day I received&nbsp;
a letter informing me that I had been selected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:44.440,0:24:49.600
I could not believe that such an antagonistic&nbsp;
interview would ever end up in my selection</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:49.600,0:24:54.840
for such a coveted position.
Anyway, I joined the job and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:54.840,0:25:00.440
discovered that the chairman of that interview&nbsp;
panel was a deputy director in the laboratory</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:00.440,0:25:07.200
and its second in-charge. He didn’t look happy&nbsp;
to see me there and never talked to me cordially.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:08.520,0:25:14.120
By the way, there was another deputy director&nbsp;
in the laboratory who was third in-charge of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:15.400,0:25:17.440
He somehow took a liking for me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:18.960,0:25:26.000
He would often call me to his office after lunch&nbsp;
to have a cup of coffee or tea together. Though I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:26.000,0:25:32.680
was way younger and even way junior to him yet for&nbsp;
some reason, he became fond of our informal chats.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:34.160,0:25:38.120
One day, while we were&nbsp;
chatting, he suddenly asked me,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:38.120,0:25:45.600
“Do you know how you were selected for your job?”
“No!” I said, “Even I was surprised when</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:45.600,0:25:50.520
I got the selection letter. There were&nbsp;
hundreds of candidates in the interview,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:50.520,0:25:56.080
many of them being quite experienced as&nbsp;
well. I really wonder how it happened.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:57.320,0:26:01.560
“You scored the highest points in the&nbsp;
board members’ assessment!” he smiled.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:02.960,0:26:06.440
“But the chairman had sounded quite&nbsp;
annoyed with me in the interview,”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:06.960,0:26:12.280
I put forth my point of doubt.
“That’s why he gave you a score of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:12.280,0:26:18.000
zero out of a maximum of fifty that he&nbsp;
could give,” I saw a smirk on his face</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:19.360,0:26:26.280
“Then?” I was really confused now, “ How was it&nbsp;
possible for me to get selected in that case?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:28.000,0:26:32.120
“You got the highest 150 marks out of 200.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:32.680,0:26:37.880
And it was because the other three members&nbsp;
scored you at the maximum of fifty each.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:39.200,0:26:43.120
And he burst into a loud&nbsp;
laughter as did I along with him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:44.480,0:26:47.760
This experience had shown&nbsp;
me the level of orthodoxy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:47.760,0:26:55.000
that believers in religion could go up to!
Religious minds are driven by morality that is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:55.000,0:27:02.920
based on differentiating between ‘good’ and ‘bad’.&nbsp;
Empty minds are driven by curiosity and creativity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:02.920,0:27:06.560
leading to a beautiful life that&nbsp;
is filled with passion and joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:08.160,0:27:14.480
To add to this, unluckily religion didn’t go&nbsp;
along sociocultural evolution as a common,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:14.480,0:27:22.240
homogenous entity, unlike business and education.&nbsp;
It may have been so in the very beginning of this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:22.240,0:27:28.160
process of splitting the mind into fragments that&nbsp;
eventually ended up at odds with one another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:29.560,0:27:33.440
It was initiated by the generation&nbsp;
of a moral fragment in the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:35.040,0:27:40.240
But then this moral fragmentation went a&nbsp;
step further by fragmenting the fragments</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:40.240,0:27:46.360
as religion slowly changed from a homogenous&nbsp;
single entity to several diverse religions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:47.920,0:27:52.400
Religions comprised multiple entities&nbsp;
as sub-fragments of multiple-morals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:52.400,0:27:58.800
within a broad moral fragment. Christian&nbsp;
morals were different from Muslim morals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:58.800,0:28:05.600
as both of them were further different from&nbsp;
Hindu morals and so on. Morals always assume</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:05.600,0:28:13.240
a dominating tendency within the mind unlike&nbsp;
instincts. They are aggressive simply because</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:13.240,0:28:18.600
they want to spread their message even at the&nbsp;
cost of suppressing and repressing instincts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:20.040,0:28:26.200
But with the multiplicity of sub-fragmented&nbsp;
morals, the fragmented and then indoctrinated</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:26.200,0:28:33.960
mind sides with one of them and decides to&nbsp;
suppress the rest. The Christian sub-fragment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:33.960,0:28:40.080
tries to suppress the Muslim, Hindu,&nbsp;
Buddhist and other morals, for example.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:41.560,0:28:48.760
And this suppression then moves outward from&nbsp;
the mind to the outside physical world. That is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:48.760,0:28:54.800
what culminates into all kinds of religious wars&nbsp;
and conflicts on the planet from time to time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:56.240,0:28:59.520
And ironically, it doesn’t even stop there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:01.040,0:29:06.440
There are further sub-sub-fragments that&nbsp;
get generated within sub-fragments as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:07.960,0:29:14.280
Shia-Sunni, Protestants-Catholics,&nbsp;
Kshatriya-Shudra et cetera are examples</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:14.280,0:29:21.440
of such sub-sub-fragments. These follow the&nbsp;
same pattern of trying to uphold the ones</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:21.440,0:29:28.920
that the mind sides with and suppress the rest&nbsp;
in the outside world. It further gives rise to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:28.920,0:29:35.840
newer intra-religious wars and conflicts in the&nbsp;
world, like in Ireland or the Iran-Iraq wars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:37.120,0:29:42.400
All along our sociocultural evolution, our&nbsp;
minds have gotten more and more complex.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:43.960,0:29:51.720
A complex mind gives birth to the perception of a&nbsp;
similarly complex world. The result has been all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:51.720,0:29:57.560
kinds of religious wars and communal conflicts&nbsp;
killing innumerable people on the planet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:59.120,0:30:04.760
It is only Homo sapiens who kill the members&nbsp;
of their own species in such an organized way!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:05.960,0:30:08.760
Don’t we need to stop this nonsense now?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:10.280,0:30:15.840
What will happen to all these compromised&nbsp;
sociocultural systems and/ or institutions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:15.840,0:30:21.520
in a society which starts moving toward filling&nbsp;
the holes of Homo sapiens bipedal evolution?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:23.040,0:30:29.600
It is my contention that the said sociocultural&nbsp;
systems/ institutions will dissolve automatically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:29.600,0:30:33.040
in much the same way as opening&nbsp;
the biological chakras ends up</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:33.040,0:30:36.200
dissolving them in individual biological systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:37.720,0:30:40.280
How would this dissolution&nbsp;
come into manifestation?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:41.760,0:30:44.920
Let us now peep inside for a few glimpses of how</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:44.920,0:30:49.960
new social systems could heal themselves&nbsp;
in a society energized by Skeletal Leap.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 33rd episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs!</strong>” will tell you about corruption in education system, self-improvement industry and organized religion.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">In Episode 29, we saw how humanity handed over the reins of cognition to its collective autonomous mind instead of a spontaneous collective brain.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">Thus our very cognition was the first casualty.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">Therefore, when we started pursuing our collective growth needs, all of which are based on our cognition, we were already operating from a closed sociocultural solar plexus chakra and a host of other closed chakras due to corrupted pursuits of our deficiency needs.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">It is no surprise that we ended up with more corrupted institutions that claim to fulfill our cognitive, self-actualization and transcendence needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 id="wants-vs-needs-corruption-of-growth-needs-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs!”, I explain the intricate corruption present within our education system, the self-improvement industry, and organized religion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I explore the impact of closed socio-cultural chakras on our collective growth, I uncover how the pursuit of social status has overshadowed genuine cognitive and self-actualization needs. The education system, designed to nurture knowledge, has instead become a factory for producing mere qualifications, transforming eager learners into mechanical cogs in a relentless production wheel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also examine the self-improvement industry, where ambition has eclipsed passion, leading to a commodification of self-actualization that prioritizes perfection over excellence.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, organized religion emerges as a complex web of competing beliefs, often sacrificing the true essence of transcendence for the sake of dogma and division.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I navigate through these pressing issues, questioning the very foundations of our societal structures and their effects on our individual and collective well-being. This episode is a call to reflect on the true nature of our needs and the systems that claim to fulfill them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, I explore the following:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The impact of social status on education and its implications for cognitive growth.</li>



<li>How ambition has transformed the self-improvement industry into a pursuit of perfection.</li>



<li>The fragmentation of organized religion and its consequences for societal unity.</li>
</ul>

Is it just random that the best talent humanity is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:04.480,0:00:08.800
benefiting from comes mostly from&nbsp;
the echelons of college dropouts?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:21.640,0:00:27.480
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to&nbsp;
“Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:28.360,0:00:32.560
Skeletal Leap transforms one’s&nbsp;
life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:33.800,0:00:38.040
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
corruption in education system,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:38.680,0:00:42.600
self-improvement industry and organized religion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:44.040,0:00:52.200
In Episode 29, we saw how humanity handed over the&nbsp;
reins of cognition to its collective autonomous</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:52.200,0:01:00.880
mind instead of a spontaneous collective brain.&nbsp;
Thus our very cognition was the first casualty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:02.320,0:01:07.320
Therefore, when we started pursuing our&nbsp;
collective growth needs, all of which are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:07.320,0:01:14.400
based on our cognition, we were already operating&nbsp;
from a closed sociocultural solar plexus chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:14.400,0:01:20.280
and a host of other closed chakras due to&nbsp;
corrupted pursuits of our deficiency needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:21.760,0:01:25.760
It is no surprise that we ended up&nbsp;
with more corrupted institutions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:25.760,0:01:31.560
that claim to fulfill our cognitive,&nbsp;
self-actualization and transcendence needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:32.960,0:01:38.920
Our education system falls under sociocultural&nbsp;
solar plexus chakra that aims to fulfill</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:38.920,0:01:44.480
cognitive needs by renewing the brain&nbsp;
continuously and energizing it cyclically.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:45.840,0:01:52.920
However, the currency it uses is ‘social status’&nbsp;
such as qualifications and specializations</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:52.920,0:01:59.680
that fall in the domain of the mind rather than&nbsp;
brain, thus closing the sociocultural solar plexus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:01.600,0:02:06.520
chakra.&nbsp;Qualifications and specializations&nbsp;
turned more important than fulfilling</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:06.520,0:02:12.480
cognitive needs in an insightful manner.&nbsp;
Thus, the noble pursuit of educating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:12.480,0:02:17.360
the new generation with insight turned&nbsp;
into regimented knowledge replicators.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:18.960,0:02:25.520
Today, it has reduced itself to transforming new&nbsp;
generations into efficient mechanical cogs in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:25.520,0:02:33.200
ever-rotating wheel of unending production.&nbsp;It all&nbsp;
happened using the currency of ‘social status’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.760,0:02:38.320
This directly led to the social disease of elitism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:38.320,0:02:45.040
that looks down upon the masses and is akin to&nbsp;
closing our sociocultural solar plexus chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:46.560,0:02:50.880
Sociocultural Systems for&nbsp;
Cognitive Needs: Education System</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:52.440,0:02:57.200
Homo sapiens had always had the&nbsp;
onus of educating their young ones</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:57.200,0:03:01.840
to the level of knowledge that the&nbsp;
former generation had reached up to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:03.400,0:03:10.080
With Homo sapiens as opposed to with any other&nbsp;
species, it has always been necessary to do so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:11.560,0:03:17.280
And with the passage of time through their&nbsp;
evolution, our species has been experimenting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:17.280,0:03:24.080
with various ways to do it most effectively&nbsp;
ever since our brain size started enhancing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:25.640,0:03:31.000
As far as we have reached up to this point&nbsp;
of time, the education system has become</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.000,0:03:35.320
one of the most important&nbsp;social&nbsp;
institutions&nbsp;in modern human life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:36.920,0:03:42.280
I always had my reservations about the education&nbsp;
system that we were being subjected to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:43.880,0:03:49.800
It had dawned upon me as soon as I first set&nbsp;
foot inside a school more than 60 years ago.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:51.280,0:03:57.040
The way this system works is like a machine&nbsp;
churning out manufactured goods on an assembly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:57.040,0:04:04.080
line. The only difference is that it manufactures&nbsp;
graduates in various disciplines of learning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:05.400,0:04:11.000
The onus of educating the new generation is&nbsp;
on the shoulders of the immediately older one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:12.600,0:04:17.560
That is how the new generation starts its&nbsp;
journey of growing and developing knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:19.160,0:04:25.440
And that is how knowledge grows further from the&nbsp;
point that the older generation has brought it to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:26.920,0:04:29.680
Education System for Junior Classes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:31.120,0:04:37.200
The knowledge that humanity has gathered and&nbsp;
developed up to this point of time is vast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:38.680,0:04:46.400
It is so vast that no single individual&nbsp;
can ingest it all in its totality. We can,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:46.400,0:04:53.160
at best, have a bird’s eye view of its entire&nbsp;
repertoire and call it our general knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:54.560,0:04:59.600
That is what we are taught up to our&nbsp;
high school or higher secondary classes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:01.120,0:05:06.000
General knowledge doesn’t make us&nbsp;
a master in any of its disciplines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:07.480,0:05:13.320
And, unless we master a discipline in&nbsp;
its entirety, we can neither practice</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:13.320,0:05:20.120
it properly nor develop it further.
Education System for Senior Classes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:21.600,0:05:25.880
So, after our high school or&nbsp;
higher secondary education,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:25.880,0:05:33.560
we need to choose any one of these endless number&nbsp;
of disciplines to specialize in. Then, we need to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:33.560,0:05:44.000
study it as wide and as deep as we can or wish to.
Ability to wisely choose what we effectively can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.000,0:05:48.440
and wish to study in detail&nbsp;
depends on our aptitude.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:49.960,0:05:56.680
It doesn’t merely depend on what we studied in&nbsp;
our junior classes but on how we studied them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:58.160,0:06:02.400
And this is where our education&nbsp;
system fails us miserably.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:03.920,0:06:10.400
It doesn’t nurture talent well. It rather&nbsp;
suppresses it to a detrimental level.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:11.960,0:06:19.200
Pitfalls in Our Primary Education
The moment we are made to start our education,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:19.200,0:06:25.760
we are subjected to a complicated array&nbsp;
of academic regimentation. We are taught</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:25.760,0:06:30.720
mechanically without any real insight into&nbsp;
the subject on the part of the teacher.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:32.040,0:06:38.040
They teach academics to the naive minds that&nbsp;
have naturally been designed to exploring</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:38.040,0:06:45.160
what their elders have in store for them.
Unfortunately, we are discouraged to explore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:46.720,0:06:52.960
We are rather expected to conform to the authority&nbsp;
by simply practicing the tools of knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:54.400,0:06:59.400
These tools are like written symbols of&nbsp;
spoken language and mechanically taught</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:59.400,0:07:06.200
procedures of mathematical operations.
In addition, we are expected to learn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:06.200,0:07:11.640
uninteresting academic details of scientific&nbsp;
and social achievements of mankind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:13.200,0:07:18.280
We do it to the satisfaction of the&nbsp;
examining authorities who assess us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:19.840,0:07:25.920
They grade us based on how much of this&nbsp;
nonsense we were able to vomit out in tests.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:27.640,0:07:29.480
Curiosity Gets Killed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:31.120,0:07:35.520
We start hating academics and try&nbsp;
to avoid it as much as we can.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:36.880,0:07:44.800
Our curiosity gets killed in this mechanical&nbsp;
process of learning. As curiosity gets killed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:44.800,0:07:53.760
we cannot discover our talents. They rather get&nbsp;
suppressed deep inside us never to show up again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:55.200,0:08:02.160
Every single child who takes birth on earth&nbsp;
brings at least one talent that s/he can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:02.160,0:08:09.600
develop to master. But that is only in case s/he&nbsp;
is able to discover it in the very first place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:11.120,0:08:17.240
The best talent we are born with is our&nbsp;
aptitude for a specific discipline of knowledge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:18.720,0:08:21.440
Humanity Loses An Opportunity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:22.880,0:08:28.720
We are rarely able to discover our talents&nbsp;
and therefore don’t pursue them in the later</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:28.720,0:08:35.560
years of our education. We rather pursue&nbsp;
another discipline for some other reason.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:37.000,0:08:44.160
We will never excel in it as much as we would if&nbsp;
we had discovered and pursued our inborn talent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:45.440,0:08:52.720
As it happens, humanity loses another great&nbsp;
opportunity to benefit from another great talent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:54.040,0:08:58.480
It is tragic that it loses a talent&nbsp;
in a discipline that never got</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:58.480,0:09:05.160
discovered and was lost in the oblivion.
Is it just random that the best talent</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:05.160,0:09:10.120
humanity is benefiting from comes mostly&nbsp;
from the echelons of college dropouts?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:11.520,0:09:17.920
Sociocultural Systems for Self-Actualization&nbsp;
Needs: Self-Improvement Industry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:19.200,0:09:25.991
Soft skill development falls under sociocultural&nbsp;
third eye chakra which strives to lead to self</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:25.991,0:09:35.240
actualization in the society. The currency it&nbsp;
uses is ‘ambition’. Ambitions spring out of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:35.240,0:09:44.000
the mind alone. Our brains want us to pledge and&nbsp;
commit but our ambitious minds come in the way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:45.560,0:09:51.720
When ‘ambition’ became more important than&nbsp;
fulfilling self-actualization needs, it defeated</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:51.720,0:09:58.280
the whole purpose of self-actualization which&nbsp;
is to let passion and joy flourish within us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:59.920,0:10:05.320
Achieving goals became more important than the&nbsp;
joy of the process that could take one there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:06.800,0:10:11.320
It is no wonder, then, that ends&nbsp;
started justifying the means,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:11.840,0:10:16.000
thereby rendering the sociocultural&nbsp;
third-eye chakra firmly shut.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:17.400,0:10:21.200
The self-improvement industry was&nbsp;
born right out of this chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:22.600,0:10:28.960
Self-actualization needs were originally meant&nbsp;
to be fulfilled via soft skill development as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:28.960,0:10:37.240
a personal concern of an individual. It enabled&nbsp;
passion and joy to flourish, driven by curiosity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:37.240,0:10:44.680
to extend and expand hard skills learnt in the&nbsp;
education system. Such passion and joy has the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:44.680,0:10:53.080
power to drive one toward achieving excellence in&nbsp;
their self-actualization pursuits. However, slowly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:53.080,0:10:59.240
and gradually, the currency, namely ‘ambition’,&nbsp;
itself became more important than passion and joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:00.680,0:11:07.320
This gave rise to an entirely new industry that we&nbsp;
now know as the ‘self-improvement’ industry which</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:07.320,0:11:14.800
commercialized self-actualization. Consequently,&nbsp;
excellence got replaced by perfection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:16.240,0:11:21.000
Self-actualization needs got&nbsp;
usurped by the currency of ambition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:22.440,0:11:28.680
Excellence is a perennial process that&nbsp;
never stops, it is rather a way of life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:29.520,0:11:36.640
On the other hand, perfection is an end in&nbsp;
itself which has no further prospects to improve.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:37.920,0:11:43.400
This ended up closing the sociocultural&nbsp;
third eye chakra generating an army of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:43.400,0:11:50.280
ambitious humans paying lip-service to idea of&nbsp;
excellence while chasing perfection all along.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:51.880,0:11:57.320
Sociocultural Systems for&nbsp;
Transcendence Needs: Organized Religion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:58.920,0:12:03.200
Organized religion falls under&nbsp;
sociocultural crown chakra looking</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:03.200,0:12:09.800
forward to transcendence in society.&nbsp;
The currency it uses for the purpose is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:11.840,0:12:17.080
Unfortunately, this currency has corrupted&nbsp;
the genuine need for transcendence</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:17.080,0:12:22.720
resulting in multiple religions, almost&nbsp;
all of them at daggers drawn between them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:24.160,0:12:31.160
The highly revered rituals of ‘faith’ became more&nbsp;
important than the ultimate needs of transcendence</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:31.160,0:12:38.080
that they were meant to serve as a currency.&nbsp;
Religion started with the expression of awe</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:38.080,0:12:43.920
for natural order and a recognition of the&nbsp;
growth needs of transcendence in society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:45.400,0:12:50.560
But it soon fragmented itself into&nbsp;
organized religions which ultimately</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:50.560,0:12:57.920
devolved into contending systems of belief,&nbsp;
blind faith and fanatic moralistic reverence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.400,0:13:06.000
Religion as an entity started with an expression&nbsp;
of awe over the miraculous events happening</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:06.000,0:13:14.880
around a recently evolved brain. But as early Homo&nbsp;
sapiens could not find any rationale for the same,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:14.880,0:13:22.760
they took an easy way out. They constituted&nbsp;
a new element of faith in the supernatural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:22.760,0:13:26.280
which all religions share&nbsp;
with one another till date.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:27.920,0:13:33.240
During both the hunting-gathering&nbsp;
and, later, the agricultural eras,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:33.240,0:13:42.600
the following traits of religiosity prevailed:
Animism | Belief in an afterlife | Shamanism |</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:42.600,0:13:51.000
Ancestor worship | High gods who created human&nbsp;
life | High gods who are active in human affairs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:52.360,0:13:59.280
Animism amounts to attributing intent and&nbsp;
lifelike qualities to inanimate objects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:00.600,0:14:07.840
This might have caused a belief in supernatural&nbsp;
aspects of unexplained natural facts seen around.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:09.240,0:14:15.840
The seed of animism could easily spill&nbsp;
over to a belief in an afterlife, shamanism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:15.840,0:14:24.800
and ancestral worship. Later when hunter-gatherer&nbsp;
communities turned into agricultural communities,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:24.800,0:14:31.840
social hierarchies started coming into&nbsp;
existence. Thus, the egalitarian pattern</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:31.840,0:14:37.760
of the hunting-gathering era gave way to&nbsp;
a paradigm of ‘rulers versus the ruled’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:39.120,0:14:43.880
High gods must have been in tune&nbsp;
with the newly emerging experiences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:45.280,0:14:49.760
Consequently, a belief in high&nbsp;
gods having created humans</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:49.760,0:14:57.800
and then actively controlling their affairs might&nbsp;
have been formed. As a result, the king started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:57.800,0:15:03.520
getting considered to be a representative of these&nbsp;
high gods in controlling his subjects’ lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:04.720,0:15:12.760
Today two-third of human population identifies&nbsp;
with one religion or another. But the geographical</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:12.760,0:15:18.920
distribution of this percentage is in a state&nbsp;
of flux presently and in future projections.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:20.240,0:15:25.120
For example, at present China is going&nbsp;
through a phase of religious revival.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:26.440,0:15:31.400
Protestant Christianity is growing&nbsp;
at an annual rate of 10% there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:32.880,0:15:35.360
It has already crossed the 100 million mark.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:36.760,0:15:42.840
It is projected that it will become the world’s&nbsp;
largest Christian population by the year 2030.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:44.280,0:15:52.360
In contrast, the number of believers is sharply&nbsp;
going down in Western Europe. In Scotland,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:52.360,0:16:01.960
59% of its population has gone non-religious&nbsp;
openly, with 66% being women and 55% men.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:03.400,0:16:09.760
This might be a result of people’s exposure to&nbsp;
a scientific outlook and a rational world view</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:09.760,0:16:17.320
in developed countries. Science and religion&nbsp;
have always gone along two opposite tangents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:18.760,0:16:24.880
Both claim to establish the truth but there&nbsp;
is a huge difference in their approaches.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:26.280,0:16:29.960
While science is only one&nbsp;
single body all over the world,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:30.480,0:16:37.440
there are more than 1000 religions, many of&nbsp;
them making claims contradictory to one another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:38.800,0:16:45.400
Also, science has always proved what it says&nbsp;
is true either logically or statistically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:45.920,0:16:50.960
whereas religion hasn’t been able&nbsp;
to prove even one of its own claims.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:52.320,0:16:58.400
I remember an amusing story from my life when&nbsp;
I had just secured my graduation in electronics</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:58.400,0:17:06.080
engineering. I applied for a government job&nbsp;
in Defense Research Development Organization</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:06.080,0:17:09.560
as a scientific officer in&nbsp;
one of its laboratories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:10.920,0:17:15.840
After a few days, I received an interview&nbsp;
call from Union Public Service Commission.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.120,0:17:20.880
I headed to its venue to face the&nbsp;
interview on the scheduled date.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:22.600,0:17:28.720
As I reached the venue of the interview, I saw&nbsp;
hundreds of candidates waiting to be interviewed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:28.720,0:17:37.360
for the same post. It was only one single vacancy&nbsp;
and there were so many candidates vying for it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:37.360,0:17:44.640
it being a premium position. Seeing such a&nbsp;
huge crowd, I immediately made up my mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:44.640,0:17:52.960
for psychologically getting ready to be rejected.&nbsp;
Mathematically speaking, I had only 0.5% chance</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:52.960,0:17:59.840
of getting selected. And the interview board had&nbsp;
to complete all the interviews in one single day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:01.160,0:18:06.960
Hence everyone was being given around 2.5&nbsp;
minutes to prove their worth for the post.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:08.320,0:18:16.800
After a long wait, came my turn. I entered&nbsp;
the interview hall. There was a board of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:16.800,0:18:22.000
four interviewers headed by the chairman&nbsp;
sitting on the other side of a huge table.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:23.360,0:18:29.600
I greeted them and the chairman offered me a seat&nbsp;
on the lone chair kept in front of their table.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:31.040,0:18:36.160
I was ready to answer any questions they&nbsp;
would ask me for the next 2.5 minutes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:37.600,0:18:42.560
My application form was lying in front&nbsp;
of the chairman who&nbsp; looked perplexed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:42.560,0:18:48.360
as he pored over it. I waited quietly&nbsp;
to meet his first question with the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:48.360,0:18:56.880
best technically correct answer I could muster.
After a long eerie silence, came the chairman’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:56.880,0:19:04.760
first question in the form of a blame. He really&nbsp;
attacked me, saying, “What have you written here</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:04.760,0:19:10.640
in your form under the “religion” column? You&nbsp;
have written “N.A.”. What do you mean by that?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:12.000,0:19:18.320
I was amused. I said, “Sir,&nbsp;
N.A. means not applicable.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:19.760,0:19:26.120
He got offended, “Well, I know&nbsp;
what N.A. means. What I am asking</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:26.120,0:19:33.920
is how it’s possible that it’s not applicable.”
I coolly said, “It’s because I don’t have any.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:35.560,0:19:40.080
“Any what?” he was getting impatient&nbsp;
as well as irritated with me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:41.560,0:19:44.600
“Religion! I don’t have any religion.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:46.200,0:19:50.920
“But how’s that possible?” he wasn’t&nbsp;
able to believe what I was saying.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:52.440,0:19:58.240
“It’s possible, sir. You can see one in&nbsp;
front of you sitting here,” I smiled.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:59.520,0:20:04.040
“Don’t your parents have a religion?”&nbsp;
came the next question from him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:04.880,0:20:11.320
The other three members were absolutely quiet.
“They do,” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:12.640,0:20:18.360
“Then by default you have inherited it&nbsp;
from them,” he tried to make me understand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:19.880,0:20:22.880
“I don’t think religion is an inheritable entity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:23.560,0:20:28.760
One needs to develop one’s own faith&nbsp;
to follow a certain religion,” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:30.120,0:20:35.880
He further got more perplexed, “And do you&nbsp;
say you haven’t developed your faith yet?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:37.240,0:20:43.000
“Yes, I couldn’t,” I said, “and I don’t&nbsp;
think we should develop any faith ever.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:44.440,0:20:47.120
He wasn’t able to believe what I was saying.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:48.200,0:20:53.880
He almost shrieked, “What are you&nbsp;
talking? Are you a negative personality?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:55.400,0:21:00.680
I didn’t lose my cool, “No sir,&nbsp;
I am an agnostic personality.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:02.160,0:21:07.480
“Do you mean atheist?” the inflection&nbsp;
in his voice suggested scorn.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:08.920,0:21:15.160
I still kept my cool, “I am an agnostic.”
“What does that mean?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:16.000,0:21:20.640
looked like he wasn’t much familiar with&nbsp;
the deep meaning of this particular word.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:22.040,0:21:25.480
I tried to tell him the&nbsp;
differences between, theism,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:26.120,0:21:31.120
atheism and agnosticism. But&nbsp;
he didn’t look convinced.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:32.520,0:21:38.600
We kept discussing on this same topic for&nbsp;
15 long minutes when, suddenly, he realized</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:38.600,0:21:45.120
he was under pressure of time. He immediately&nbsp;
said, “Let’s have the technical interview now.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:46.520,0:21:50.880
He wasn’t looking very pleased with the&nbsp;
direction that our discussion had taken</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:50.880,0:21:58.880
exposing his intolerance. Under the influence&nbsp;
of his value system, he might have pre-assessed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:58.880,0:22:06.520
my technical knowledge to be pathetic. Hence, to&nbsp;
show me down, he might have thought of mocking me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:08.120,0:22:14.960
He asked me the easiest question on the topic at&nbsp;
hand to check if I knew at least that much or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:16.360,0:22:21.560
“Can you even draw an adder circuit?”&nbsp;
he was smiling conspiringly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:23.120,0:22:27.640
“No sir, I don’t remember it&nbsp;
right at the moment,” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.840,0:22:33.920
His smile went wider, “You don’t even&nbsp;
know how to draw an adder circuit?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:34.440,0:22:40.640
his tone oozed with condescension.
“No sir, I do know how</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:40.640,0:22:46.840
but not off-hand because I don’t keep my mind&nbsp;
burdened with information alone,” I explained.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:48.280,0:22:54.040
“What’ll you do if you need to draw it during&nbsp;
your work?” he challenged me once again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:55.480,0:23:00.240
“I will deduce it then and there,”&nbsp;
I offered the immediate solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:01.480,0:23:03.880
“And how much time will you take deducing it?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:04.600,0:23:08.040
he was trying to show that it&nbsp;
wasn’t a feasible solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:09.440,0:23:13.560
“Say, 20 seconds,” I threw&nbsp;
his challenge back to him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:15.000,0:23:19.280
“Here is your paper and here is&nbsp;
your pen. Your time starts now!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:19.800,0:23:22.720
he started looking at his watch as he said this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:24.280,0:23:29.360
I was on my job without losing any&nbsp;
time. And when I gave back my paper</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:29.360,0:23:35.000
in just 15 seconds with deduction and&nbsp;
drawing, he could not believe his eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:36.560,0:23:41.240
“Did you really deduce it right now&nbsp;
or are you just trying to impress us?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:42.000,0:23:48.240
he asked, doubting my intentions.
“I don’t think I need to impress you, sir,”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:48.800,0:23:52.640
by this time I had become fed&nbsp;
up of his senile behavior.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:54.120,0:23:58.960
“Okay, that’s it. You can go&nbsp;
now,” he said in a curt voice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:00.400,0:24:06.240
As I was going back, I heard him saying&nbsp;
in a sorry tone, “God bless you!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:07.560,0:24:15.760
It was as if he was seeking His pardon on my&nbsp;
behalf. While walking out of the interview hall,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:15.760,0:24:21.880
I checked the time and realized that I&nbsp;
had been in there for full 18 minutes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:23.280,0:24:27.080
And none of the other three members&nbsp;
of the interview board had asked me</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:27.080,0:24:29.920
a single question during all that time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:31.360,0:24:35.920
I gave up all hopes of getting selected&nbsp;
and started applying elsewhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:37.440,0:24:43.080
But, to my utter astonishment, one day I received&nbsp;
a letter informing me that I had been selected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:44.440,0:24:49.600
I could not believe that such an antagonistic&nbsp;
interview would ever end up in my selection</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:49.600,0:24:54.840
for such a coveted position.
Anyway, I joined the job and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:54.840,0:25:00.440
discovered that the chairman of that interview&nbsp;
panel was a deputy director in the laboratory</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:00.440,0:25:07.200
and its second in-charge. He didn’t look happy&nbsp;
to see me there and never talked to me cordially.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:08.520,0:25:14.120
By the way, there was another deputy director&nbsp;
in the laboratory who was third in-charge of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:15.400,0:25:17.440
He somehow took a liking for me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:18.960,0:25:26.000
He would often call me to his office after lunch&nbsp;
to have a cup of coffee or tea together. Though I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:26.000,0:25:32.680
was way younger and even way junior to him yet for&nbsp;
some reason, he became fond of our informal chats.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:34.160,0:25:38.120
One day, while we were&nbsp;
chatting, he suddenly asked me,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:38.120,0:25:45.600
“Do you know how you were selected for your job?”
“No!” I said, “Even I was surprised when</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:45.600,0:25:50.520
I got the selection letter. There were&nbsp;
hundreds of candidates in the interview,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:50.520,0:25:56.080
many of them being quite experienced as&nbsp;
well. I really wonder how it happened.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:57.320,0:26:01.560
“You scored the highest points in the&nbsp;
board members’ assessment!” he smiled.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:02.960,0:26:06.440
“But the chairman had sounded quite&nbsp;
annoyed with me in the interview,”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:06.960,0:26:12.280
I put forth my point of doubt.
“That’s why he gave you a score of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:12.280,0:26:18.000
zero out of a maximum of fifty that he&nbsp;
could give,” I saw a smirk on his face</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:19.360,0:26:26.280
“Then?” I was really confused now, “ How was it&nbsp;
possible for me to get selected in that case?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:28.000,0:26:32.120
“You got the highest 150 marks out of 200.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:32.680,0:26:37.880
And it was because the other three members&nbsp;
scored you at the maximum of fifty each.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:39.200,0:26:43.120
And he burst into a loud&nbsp;
laughter as did I along with him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:44.480,0:26:47.760
This experience had shown&nbsp;
me the level of orthodoxy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:47.760,0:26:55.000
that believers in religion could go up to!
Religious minds are driven by morality that is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:55.000,0:27:02.920
based on differentiating between ‘good’ and ‘bad’.&nbsp;
Empty minds are driven by curiosity and creativity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:02.920,0:27:06.560
leading to a beautiful life that&nbsp;
is filled with passion and joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:08.160,0:27:14.480
To add to this, unluckily religion didn’t go&nbsp;
along sociocultural evolution as a common,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:14.480,0:27:22.240
homogenous entity, unlike business and education.&nbsp;
It may have been so in the very beginning of this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:22.240,0:27:28.160
process of splitting the mind into fragments that&nbsp;
eventually ended up at odds with one another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:29.560,0:27:33.440
It was initiated by the generation&nbsp;
of a moral fragment in the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:35.040,0:27:40.240
But then this moral fragmentation went a&nbsp;
step further by fragmenting the fragments</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:40.240,0:27:46.360
as religion slowly changed from a homogenous&nbsp;
single entity to several diverse religions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:47.920,0:27:52.400
Religions comprised multiple entities&nbsp;
as sub-fragments of multiple-morals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:52.400,0:27:58.800
within a broad moral fragment. Christian&nbsp;
morals were different from Muslim morals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:58.800,0:28:05.600
as both of them were further different from&nbsp;
Hindu morals and so on. Morals always assume</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:05.600,0:28:13.240
a dominating tendency within the mind unlike&nbsp;
instincts. They are aggressive simply because</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:13.240,0:28:18.600
they want to spread their message even at the&nbsp;
cost of suppressing and repressing instincts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:20.040,0:28:26.200
But with the multiplicity of sub-fragmented&nbsp;
morals, the fragmented and then indoctrinated</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:26.200,0:28:33.960
mind sides with one of them and decides to&nbsp;
suppress the rest. The Christian sub-fragment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:33.960,0:28:40.080
tries to suppress the Muslim, Hindu,&nbsp;
Buddhist and other morals, for example.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:41.560,0:28:48.760
And this suppression then moves outward from&nbsp;
the mind to the outside physical world. That is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:48.760,0:28:54.800
what culminates into all kinds of religious wars&nbsp;
and conflicts on the planet from time to time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:56.240,0:28:59.520
And ironically, it doesn’t even stop there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:01.040,0:29:06.440
There are further sub-sub-fragments that&nbsp;
get generated within sub-fragments as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:07.960,0:29:14.280
Shia-Sunni, Protestants-Catholics,&nbsp;
Kshatriya-Shudra et cetera are examples</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:14.280,0:29:21.440
of such sub-sub-fragments. These follow the&nbsp;
same pattern of trying to uphold the ones</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:21.440,0:29:28.920
that the mind sides with and suppress the rest&nbsp;
in the outside world. It further gives rise to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:28.920,0:29:35.840
newer intra-religious wars and conflicts in the&nbsp;
world, like in Ireland or the Iran-Iraq wars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:37.120,0:29:42.400
All along our sociocultural evolution, our&nbsp;
minds have gotten more and more complex.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:43.960,0:29:51.720
A complex mind gives birth to the perception of a&nbsp;
similarly complex world. The result has been all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:51.720,0:29:57.560
kinds of religious wars and communal conflicts&nbsp;
killing innumerable people on the planet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:59.120,0:30:04.760
It is only Homo sapiens who kill the members&nbsp;
of their own species in such an organized way!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:05.960,0:30:08.760
Don’t we need to stop this nonsense now?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:10.280,0:30:15.840
What will happen to all these compromised&nbsp;
sociocultural systems and/ or institutions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:15.840,0:30:21.520
in a society which starts moving toward filling&nbsp;
the holes of Homo sapiens bipedal evolution?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:23.040,0:30:29.600
It is my contention that the said sociocultural&nbsp;
systems/ institutions will dissolve automatically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:29.600,0:30:33.040
in much the same way as opening&nbsp;
the biological chakras ends up</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:33.040,0:30:36.200
dissolving them in individual biological systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:37.720,0:30:40.280
How would this dissolution&nbsp;
come into manifestation?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:41.760,0:30:44.920
Let us now peep inside for a few glimpses of how</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:44.920,0:30:49.960
new social systems could heal themselves&nbsp;
in a society energized by Skeletal Leap.</p>

Welcome back to the 33rd episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



Today’s episode titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs!” will tell you about corruption in education system, self-improvement industry and organized religion.



In Episode 29, we saw how humanity handed over the reins of cognition to its collective autonomous mind instead of a spontaneous collective brain.



Thus our very cognition was the first casualty.



Therefore, when we started pursuing our collective growth needs, all of which are based on our cognition, we were already operating from a closed sociocultural solar plexus chakra and a host of other closed chakras due to corrupted pursuits of our deficiency needs.



It is no surprise that we ended up with more corrupted institutions that claim to fulfill our cognitive, self-actualization and transcendence needs.



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







Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs! - Show Notes





In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Growth Needs!”, I explain the intricate corruption present within our education system, the self-improvement industry, and organized religion.



As I explore the impact of closed socio-cultural chakras on our collective growth, I uncover how the pursuit of social status has overshadowed genuine cognitive and self-actualization needs. The education system, designed to nurture knowledge, has instead become a factory for producing mere qualifications, transforming eager learners into mechanical cogs in a relentless production wheel.



I also examine the self-improvement industry, where ambition has eclipsed passion, leading to a commodification of self-actualization that prioritizes perfection over excellence.&nbsp;



Furthermore, organized religion emerges as a complex web of competing beliefs, often sacrificing the true essence of transcendence for the sake of dogma and division.



Join me as I navigate through these pressing issues, questioning the very foundations of our societal structures and their effects on our individual and collective well-being. This episode is a call to reflect on the true nature of our needs and the systems that claim to fulfill them.



In this episode, I explore the following:




The impact of social status on education and its implications for cognitive growth.



How ambition has transformed the self-improvement industry into a pursuit of perfection.



The fragmentation of organized religion and its consequences for societal unity.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 32nd episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs!</strong>” will tell you about corruption in charitable organizations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Value systems fall under sociocultural throat chakra to fulfill the needs of self-esteem.  The currency here is ‘morals’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘Morals’, the sociocultural currency of the next deficiency need, i.e., self-esteem, turned more important than need itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cultural extension of morals, i.e., value systems, started as ethical codes for social esteem but soon turned into moral codes for suppressing the individual spirit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Charitable and non-profit organizations became the face of this suppression and resulted in the sociocultural throat chakra getting closed. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In our journey of sociocultural evolution, our value systems have also been disintegrating and are confusing us at each and every step we, the Homo sapiens, take today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 id="wants-vs-needs-corruption-of-esteem-needs-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs!”, I dive deep into the intricate relationship between morality, self-esteem, and the socio-cultural structures that shape our society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I explore how the moral values created by humanity, which were intended to serve our self-esteem needs, have been corrupted and manipulated by those in power.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how these moral codes, initially designed to uphold social esteem, have transformed into instruments of suppression that close the socio-cultural throat chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through a critical lens, I examine the disintegration of value systems and their impact on charitable and non-profit organizations, revealing how they have become emblematic of this suppression.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I question the very foundation of our moral values and their relationship with our instinctual drives, challenging you to reconsider what it means to live authentically in a society riddled with contradictions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I navigate this complex terrain, I uncover the unfortunate consequences of these moral constructs on personal relationships and societal cohesion.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode encourages you to reflect on the true essence of charity and the implications of a system that prioritizes moral currency over genuine need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this enlightening discussion that sheds light on the corruption of our charitable institutions and the broader implications for humanity.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:01.040,0:00:05.360
Why did humanity feel the need&nbsp;
to create moral values at all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:05.360,0:00:09.320
if they were not naturally built&nbsp;
in our psychobiological structure?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:22.000,0:00:27.840
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to&nbsp;
“Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:28.760,0:00:32.920
Skeletal Leap transforms one’s&nbsp;
life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.160,0:00:35.240
Today’s episode titled “Corruption Unleashed:&nbsp;
How It Distorts Our Self-Esteem Needs!”, I will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:35.240,0:00:38.880
tell you about corruption&nbsp;
in charitable organizations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:40.240,0:00:45.840
Value systems fall under sociocultural throat&nbsp;
chakra to fulfill the needs of self-esteem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:47.000,0:00:54.360
The currency here is ‘morals’. ‘Morals’,&nbsp;
the sociocultural currency of the next</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:54.360,0:01:00.400
deficiency need, i.e., self-esteem,&nbsp;
turned more important than need itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:01.640,0:01:08.080
The cultural extension of morals, i.e.,&nbsp;
value systems, started as ethical codes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:08.080,0:01:14.320
for social esteem but soon turned into moral&nbsp;
codes for suppressing the individual spirit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:15.560,0:01:21.680
Charitable and non-profit organizations became&nbsp;
the face of this suppression and resulted in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:21.680,0:01:27.120
sociocultural throat chakra getting closed.
Value Systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:28.560,0:01:34.480
In our journey of sociocultural evolution, our&nbsp;
value systems have also been disintegrating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:34.480,0:01:40.400
and are confusing us at each and every&nbsp;
step we, the Homo sapiens, take today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:41.720,0:01:44.800
Moral Values &amp; Instinctual Drives:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:46.160,0:01:52.400
We are born with a set of instinctual drives which&nbsp;
are inherent in our psychobiological structure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:53.600,0:01:59.520
We don’t have to go anywhere in order&nbsp;
to learn about them. On the other hand</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:59.520,0:02:06.280
we are not born with any set of moral values&nbsp;
in our psychobiological structure. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:06.280,0:02:12.680
they are not inherent to the human being and&nbsp;
need to be taught anew to every new child born.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:14.040,0:02:18.760
Is there any relationship between the two?
Certainly yes!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:19.640,0:02:25.640
But before investigating into this relationship,&nbsp;
we need to ask another more important question.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:26.960,0:02:32.840
Why did humanity feel the need to create&nbsp;
moral values at all if they were not naturally</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:32.840,0:02:39.720
built in our psychobiological structure?
Moral values became necessary because a few</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:39.720,0:02:48.160
of those purely instinctual drives scared humans&nbsp;
who then perceived them as threats. This happened</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:48.160,0:02:53.040
when humans set out to create a new social&nbsp;
order for the first time in our distant past.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:54.320,0:02:57.400
Which social order were&nbsp;
they scheming to establish?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:58.840,0:03:03.320
It was a plutocratic (the rule or power of wealth)&nbsp;
male dominated social system, operating from an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:03.320,0:03:09.400
already closed sociocultural root chakra, that&nbsp;
these moral values were plotting to uphold.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:10.800,0:03:17.600
And the plutocrats could simply go ahead and&nbsp;
push these so-called values using their wealth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:18.960,0:03:25.280
They could apply that wealth to either bribe&nbsp;
or starve their subjects to buy their opinion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:26.720,0:03:32.880
Wealth in the form of personal ownership of&nbsp;
resources had very recently made its entry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:32.880,0:03:40.960
into human life. The ones who were either&nbsp;
strong or cunning or both, for that matter,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:40.960,0:03:47.640
were able to amass these resources more than&nbsp;
the rest, like we discussed in Episode 30.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:48.960,0:03:52.760
And why were these initiators predominantly males?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:54.200,0:04:02.080
It was so because males were stronger (even&nbsp;
if not more cunning) than females. Also they</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:02.080,0:04:07.680
had more time at their disposal to accumulate&nbsp;
more wealth than their female counterparts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:09.120,0:04:15.000
It was simply because females lost time&nbsp;
in delivering and rearing up their kids.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:16.320,0:04:19.840
The kids decidedly belonged to their mothers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:19.840,0:04:27.240
and not fathers since no one could establish&nbsp;
fatherhood beyond doubt. And as they grew,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:27.800,0:04:34.640
they would support their mothers in the pursuit&nbsp;
of amassing wealth. In a way, it could be seen as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:34.640,0:04:41.360
the wealth regained that their mothers had lost&nbsp;
access to while delivering and rearing them up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:42.680,0:04:49.080
So, males needed a way to know, beyond&nbsp;
doubt, who the father of any given kid was.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:50.360,0:04:56.240
With their sociocultural throat chakras closed,&nbsp;
the males felt ignored as compared to the females,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:56.240,0:05:03.480
thus hurting their esteem. But this would only&nbsp;
be possible if the females agreed to it as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:04.880,0:05:11.040
For this, they needed to stop following their&nbsp;
instinctual drive to have sex with any males of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:11.040,0:05:15.480
their choice at any time.
Why would they agree?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:17.080,0:05:24.800
Powerful males in those early societies designed&nbsp;
a new faculty of thought which would uphold newly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:24.800,0:05:31.880
envisioned ‘moral values’ as essentially opposite&nbsp;
alternatives to certain instinctual drives</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:31.880,0:05:40.400
predominantly including sex. They did so because,&nbsp;
by this time, their collective sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:40.400,0:05:47.920
throat chakras were already closed. They were&nbsp;
supported by so-called supernatural practitioners</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:47.920,0:05:53.000
who enjoyed a high status among&nbsp;
ignorantly naive early human dwellings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:54.600,0:05:59.360
These supernatural practitioners,&nbsp;
initially looking forward to transcendence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:00.080,0:06:03.880
had already fallen prey to&nbsp;
its currency named ‘faith’,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:04.480,0:06:11.080
thus closing the sociocultural crown chakra&nbsp;
of the society. More on that in Episode 33.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:12.480,0:06:20.000
The first of such newly established moral values&nbsp;
declared sex as the basic sin to be avoided as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:20.000,0:06:27.120
much as possible. But since&nbsp;curbing such a&nbsp;
powerful instinct en masse wasn’t feasible</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:27.120,0:06:34.960
practically, a new rule was framed that one female&nbsp;
having sex with multiple males was ‘immoral’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:36.320,0:06:42.680
If she did, she would be severely punished by&nbsp;
another new entity created by the supernatural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:42.680,0:06:48.880
practitioners, named ‘God’.
An Unfortunate Consequence:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:50.240,0:06:57.240
In order for this rule to look unbiased between&nbsp;
genders, it was framed as such for both of them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:58.680,0:07:05.000
But as an unfortunate consequence, it was&nbsp;
never implemented for males as strictly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:05.000,0:07:11.840
as it was done for females. This was&nbsp;
because human biology went against females.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:13.440,0:07:19.000
Any female engaging in stealthy sex&nbsp;
would sooner or later conceive children</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:19.000,0:07:26.400
and be caught for her transgressions. On the other&nbsp;
hand, males could easily evade detection of their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:26.400,0:07:34.600
own transgressions without any telltale signs.
Monogamy – Marriage Comes Into Existence:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:36.040,0:07:43.000
To put an official stamp on this rule, a new&nbsp;
social institution named marriage was designed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:44.440,0:07:52.240
It limited the choice of sex partners to just&nbsp;
one over an entire lifetime as against many</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:52.240,0:08:00.880
for as much time as desired. In some societies a&nbsp;
male could marry several females simultaneously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.440,0:08:06.000
But females were rarely, if&nbsp;
at all, provided this luxury!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:07.560,0:08:14.120
Monogamy, initiated under the domination of&nbsp;
morals effecting sociocultural throat chakra,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:14.760,0:08:19.440
changed its shape to a new social&nbsp;
institution, namely marriage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:20.720,0:08:25.560
Marriage, designed under the domination of the&nbsp;
currency we are calling ‘personal ownership of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:25.560,0:08:33.000
resources’ further extended adherence to monogamy,&nbsp;
thereby effecting the sociocultural root chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:34.520,0:08:40.040
This enhanced adherence ensured that&nbsp;
the males could be surer about being the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:40.040,0:08:47.520
biological fathers of their spouse’s children.&nbsp;
It turned them all into a close-knit family,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:48.040,0:08:55.320
another sociocultural institution that came&nbsp;
into existence. Hence, before they died,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:55.320,0:09:01.520
the males could hand over their personal ownership&nbsp;
of resources to their children without any doubt,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:01.520,0:09:09.440
like their mothers had always done. Thus marriage,&nbsp;
further strengthening sociocultural root chakra,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:09.440,0:09:16.640
facilitated males to weave a close-knit safety&nbsp;
network in their immediate familial vicinity, too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:18.080,0:09:19.160
Human Mind:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:20.520,0:09:25.480
Now, a new moral science was&nbsp;
envisaged comprising a set of morals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:27.120,0:09:30.560
These were the morals that humans ought to follow</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:30.560,0:09:35.440
even if they were directly against the&nbsp;
calls of their own instinctual drives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:36.920,0:09:41.280
Eventually, all&nbsp;such social&nbsp;
morals that were implemented</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:41.280,0:09:48.040
went against those allegedly dangerous natural&nbsp;
instinctual drives in one way or the other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.560,0:09:55.240
We as humans are born with instinctual&nbsp;
drives alone in our mind-body system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:55.960,0:10:01.520
We don’t have any sort of human emotions or&nbsp;
morals in our mind that we start our life with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:03.120,0:10:09.760
Later, in our journey from childhood to adulthood,&nbsp;
we learn the history of human development.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:11.120,0:10:18.760
We learn it in each and every subject and store&nbsp;
it in the knowledge base of our mind. Then,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:18.760,0:10:25.760
as we grow, we add to that knowledge base from our&nbsp;
own personal experiences to enhance it further.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:27.280,0:10:33.520
This is what the ideal development of human&nbsp;
mind is supposed to be like. It is a set of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:33.520,0:10:39.160
instinctual drives along with a knowledge base&nbsp;
of human achievements in various subjects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:40.520,0:10:47.840
However, in practice, that is not all that our&nbsp;
mind is subjected to during the formative years of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:47.840,0:10:56.200
our development. It is also indoctrinated with a&nbsp;
value system which is not limited to morals alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:57.640,0:11:02.560
Consequently, it tries to turn them&nbsp;
into our aesthetic values as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:04.160,0:11:10.120
Presently, our culture very eagerly nails&nbsp;
down several moral values onto our minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:11.600,0:11:17.160
Sex As A&nbsp;Necessary Evil
We are taught by our religious</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:17.160,0:11:24.640
culture that sex is a necessary evil. This is&nbsp;
done at a stage in our lives when we have not</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:24.640,0:11:30.280
even experienced it as a fully developed&nbsp;
instinctual drive in our mind-body system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:31.520,0:11:39.600
Our minds get conditioned against sex even before&nbsp;
our body grows to incorporate it into our system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:40.560,0:11:45.880
And&nbsp;the time it does, our conditioning&nbsp;
starts making us feel guilty about it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:47.360,0:11:51.120
Truthfulness
We are taught that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:51.120,0:11:58.560
truth is a desirable parameter of integrity&nbsp;
even when we don’t know what a lie is. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:58.560,0:12:06.240
the very inception of truth as a desirable moral&nbsp;
value sows the seeds of learning how to tell lies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:07.720,0:12:14.480
Prior to sociocultural evolution, our instinctual&nbsp;
drives may not have felt a need to tell a lie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:15.880,0:12:19.360
But we may not have said we&nbsp;
were speaking the truth either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:20.800,0:12:26.640
We may have simply said we were speaking. We&nbsp;
may not have needed either of the two concepts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:27.520,0:12:32.720
Plainly speaking about what we saw&nbsp;
and what we did may have been enough.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:34.200,0:12:38.800
But the same social system that&nbsp;
established monogamy and plutocracy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:38.800,0:12:45.160
realized it was suppressing extremely&nbsp;
strong instinctual drives. It also realized</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:45.160,0:12:51.000
people WOULD tend to satiate these drives&nbsp;
stealthily and then claim they did not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:52.200,0:12:58.360
So, a new concept of truth was envisaged as&nbsp;
opposite to a more basic concept of a lie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.480,0:13:06.320
If a lie were never needed, there wouldn’t have&nbsp;
been any need for a concept of truth to exist too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:07.480,0:13:11.280
But lies entered the domain of human action</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:11.280,0:13:17.640
owing to the establishment of a cunningly&nbsp;
unjustified as well as an unhealthy society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:19.320,0:13:26.200
Hence, truth was designed as a moral value&nbsp;
to stop people from lying. People, however,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:26.200,0:13:33.600
lied innocently only to satiate their instinctual&nbsp;
drives and hide it from those in authority.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:35.000,0:13:39.560
That is why&nbsp;speaking the truth should&nbsp;
be brought down from its high pedestal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:40.200,0:13:46.240
We need to peel off the facade of reverence&nbsp;
that our moral values have assigned to it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:47.360,0:13:48.120
Honesty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:49.520,0:13:57.280
Same is the story of honesty. The very&nbsp;
inception of honesty as a desirable moral value</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:57.280,0:14:05.560
sows the seeds of learning how to be dishonest.
Prior to sociocultural evolution, there may not</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:05.560,0:14:11.680
have been anything like dishonesty in our&nbsp;
instinctual drives that we needed to act on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:13.080,0:14:19.040
But the newly established and unjustified&nbsp;
social system feared that people could plot</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:19.040,0:14:26.800
secret schemes to rebel against its inherent&nbsp;
suppression. The said moral termed any such</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:26.800,0:14:34.000
possibility as dishonesty and coined a desirable&nbsp;
behavior named honesty as its antithesis.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:35.400,0:14:41.920
It is interesting to note that most so-called&nbsp;
anti-moral values are named&nbsp;to be the antithesis</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:41.920,0:14:50.960
of moral values; dishonesty vs honesty, for&nbsp;
example. But in fact, conceptually speaking,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:50.960,0:14:58.240
these were morals that were actually conceived as&nbsp;
the antitheses of the so-called anti-moral acts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:59.360,0:15:00.520
Sense of Duty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:01.800,0:15:08.400
Sense of duty is a set of actions we ought&nbsp;
to do whether we feel like doing them or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:09.320,0:15:14.040
Why do we need a stipulation like this&nbsp;
if we already feel like doing those?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:15.120,0:15:21.360
And why do we need the ones being stipulated&nbsp;
if our mind does not feel like doing those?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:22.600,0:15:28.560
Our culture seems to have decided the validity&nbsp;
of ‘duty’ even if it goes against the natural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:28.560,0:15:35.560
composition of the human mind. What good&nbsp;
can we expect to come out of those dutiful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:35.560,0:15:40.640
actions if they don’t have the energy&nbsp;
of our natural willfulness behind them?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:42.160,0:15:50.160
They will simply get reduced to a level of being&nbsp;
artificially performed as forced rituals. We</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:50.160,0:15:56.160
will&nbsp;undertake and then perform them only to keep&nbsp;
away the guilt of not having done them at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:57.600,0:16:03.280
Prior to sociocultural evolution, we may&nbsp;
have lived with our instinctual drives</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:03.280,0:16:10.160
guiding our actions and behavior. And we may&nbsp;
not have needed a concept like a sense of duty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:11.080,0:16:16.560
We may have simply acted out what our&nbsp;
spontaneous feeling guided us to do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:17.920,0:16:24.400
It is plausible that any such spontaneous feeling&nbsp;
may primarily have been of concern and sympathy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:24.400,0:16:31.520
for one another. So we may not have needed a sense&nbsp;
of duty in order to act in the most desirable way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:33.080,0:16:38.160
But with the suppression of our instinctual&nbsp;
drives, we wouldn’t feel such concern and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:38.160,0:16:43.680
sympathy for those who have themselves&nbsp;
also suppressed those same drives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:45.200,0:16:52.080
Once again, as yet another anti-thesis to&nbsp;
instinctual drives, the sense of duty was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:52.080,0:17:00.160
formulated as one more&nbsp;moral value. Morals were&nbsp;
supposed to be upheld under any circumstances.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:01.480,0:17:07.280
Otherwise, the sin that we committed would&nbsp;
not let us live without a feeling of guilt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:08.520,0:17:09.520
Respect</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:10.640,0:17:17.120
We are taught to respect our elders and seniors.&nbsp;
We are not taught to respect our juniors.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.920,0:17:23.160
Why this one-sided approach to something that&nbsp;
our culture considers such an important value?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:24.640,0:17:31.720
Therefore, respect as a value immediately&nbsp;
strikes us as feudal in its very inception.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:32.800,0:17:40.880
The human mind is not designed to respect. It is&nbsp;
designed to interact. It is designed to share. And</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:40.880,0:17:48.240
it is designed to love. Respect is a very formal&nbsp;
concept that requires a distance between the two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:48.240,0:17:56.480
individuals involved. The respected one stands&nbsp;
on a higher pedestal than the one who respects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:57.600,0:18:03.840
The more we respect like we do our fathers,&nbsp;
especially in the developing countries,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:03.840,0:18:10.280
the less we love them. That is because&nbsp;
respect necessitates&nbsp;kind of separation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:11.440,0:18:18.760
And the more we love like we do our mothers,&nbsp;
the less we need to respect them. That is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:18.760,0:18:26.720
because love eliminates any such separation.
It is still customary in the Eastern societies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:26.720,0:18:32.760
(and used to be in all societies until a few&nbsp;
centuries ago) for fathers to act like an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:32.760,0:18:39.920
authoritarian judge in the family court passing&nbsp;
sentences on kids that are generally corporal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:41.040,0:18:48.440
Mothers can, at best, play the role of kids’&nbsp;
advocates pleading mercy for their ‘crimes’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:49.640,0:18:57.200
Same, till very recently, had been true in case&nbsp;
of teachers in schools as well. Teachers have been</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:57.200,0:19:04.320
preoccupied with enforcing respect as a means to&nbsp;
extracting their desired behavior from students.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:05.480,0:19:12.200
This has created an authoritative chasm between&nbsp;
the teacher and the student, thereby eliminating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:12.200,0:19:20.080
any possibility of a healthy kinship. Such kinship&nbsp;
may have resulted in the desired behaviors more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:20.080,0:19:26.680
organically in the first place. Laws have been&nbsp;
made in some of these countries prohibiting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:26.680,0:19:32.440
teachers assigning corporal punishments to&nbsp;
the students though they are often broken.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:33.760,0:19:34.640
Obedience</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:36.080,0:19:43.560
Obedience, as a value, is a sub-set of respect. As&nbsp;
a younger person, we are not supposed to question</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:43.560,0:19:50.200
or raise doubts against the orders of our&nbsp;
elders. This again is a very feudal value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:51.440,0:19:56.920
Here again, in the Eastern countries, kids are&nbsp;
supposed to be more obedient to their fathers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:56.920,0:20:03.200
than to their mothers who they can argue with at&nbsp;
times, though in the absence of their fathers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:04.680,0:20:09.600
Similarly they are culturally supposed&nbsp;
to be obedient to their teachers as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:11.120,0:20:17.440
As a result, they seldom question their teachers&nbsp;
even if they have genuine queries in their minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:18.800,0:20:23.800
Questioning teachers is not culturally&nbsp;
encouraged as learning is supposed to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:23.800,0:20:29.960
a one way communication from the teacher&nbsp;
to the student. The students are supposed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:29.960,0:20:34.400
to learn by rote what instructions&nbsp;
their teachers have passed on to them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:35.720,0:20:42.240
The human mind is not naturally designed for&nbsp;
feudalism. And if we force it to conform,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:42.800,0:20:47.600
we are simply suppressing the instinctual&nbsp;
drives we are naturally born with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:48.840,0:20:49.920
Good Manners</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:51.240,0:20:57.360
Good manners are all protocols in their essence.&nbsp;
We are supposed to behave a certain way in a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:57.360,0:21:03.600
certain scenario. And we do so whether we&nbsp;
are feeling like behaving that way or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:04.520,0:21:08.800
The more we follow these dictats,&nbsp;
the less authentic we become.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:10.120,0:21:15.200
We must say, “Very pleased to see you,”&nbsp;
on meeting someone even if we are not so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:16.000,0:21:21.160
Aren’t we telling a lie which violates&nbsp;
another moral value named truthfulness?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:22.400,0:21:23.080
Faith</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:24.400,0:21:30.080
If we have faith, we don’t question.&nbsp;
But our minds are wired to question.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:31.520,0:21:38.360
And faith as a moral value tries its best to&nbsp;
suppress curiosity that we are born with as an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:38.360,0:21:47.320
instinct. Unfortunately, it doesn’t limit itself&nbsp;
to being a moral value alone, it also plays its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:47.320,0:21:54.840
role as a currency for transcendence needs. As the&nbsp;
currency becomes more important than fulfilling</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:54.840,0:22:01.880
the genuine need as such, the sociocultural&nbsp;
crown chakra falls prey and gets closed as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:02.920,0:22:06.520
We are going to look into it in Episode 33.
Loyalty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:06.520,0:22:13.400
We have already talked about loyalty clouding&nbsp;
real love and belonging needs as their currency</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:13.400,0:22:21.400
through a closed sociocultural heart chakra in&nbsp;
Episode 31. But it goes a step further from there</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:21.400,0:22:28.080
as it assumes the status of ‘morals’ as well,&nbsp;
closing sociocultural throat chakra along.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:29.200,0:22:34.400
Loyalty is a highly respected moral&nbsp;
value which supposes us to be committed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:35.440,0:22:41.280
It is a commitment to a certain&nbsp;
person, institution or an idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:41.920,0:22:48.480
In addition, loyalty is uniquely characterized by&nbsp;
its blind and unconditional support for the same.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:49.720,0:22:54.640
Our minds, however, are not so&nbsp;
indiscriminate in their natural structure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:56.000,0:23:02.840
Loyalty simply stands against our judicious sense&nbsp;
of discernment between one action and another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:04.120,0:23:10.120
Now, we can go into further details of each&nbsp;
one of these values. We can easily show that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:10.120,0:23:16.160
they all stand against instinctual drives&nbsp;
either overtly or else in a covert way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:17.520,0:23:27.200
Instinctual Drives:
Eating | Drinking | Excreting | Curiosity |</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:27.200,0:23:37.680
Movement | Play | Adventure | Interaction |&nbsp;
Love | Grouping | Sex | Reproduction | Parenting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:38.960,0:23:44.160
The moral values are nailed very hard&nbsp;
and deep into the structure of the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:44.160,0:23:46.240
and away from the structure of the brain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:47.200,0:23:53.840
They play their role very well in suppressing&nbsp;
the energy of our death instincts and keep it so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:55.200,0:24:02.440
But, like water, energy can never be kept&nbsp;
suppressed for long. And like water finds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:02.440,0:24:08.640
new channels for its flow, energy also&nbsp;
invents new channels for its expression.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:09.960,0:24:11.280
Human Emotions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:12.640,0:24:19.120
The channels that the energy of these suppressed&nbsp;
instinctual drives invents for its expression are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:19.120,0:24:31.120
named human emotions. Of these, the main ones are:
Desire | Greed | Hope | Happiness | Surprise |</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:31.120,0:24:42.040
Anger | Envy | Jealousy | Disappointment |&nbsp;
Guilt | Sadness | Fear | Anxiety | Depression</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:43.320,0:24:49.160
These human emotions are channelled to express&nbsp;
the energy of the blocked instinctual drives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:50.560,0:24:55.760
But they are never as innocent and as&nbsp;
straightforward as the instinctual drives</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:55.760,0:25:02.720
themselves are. They are rather the distorted&nbsp;
forms of expressing the suppressed energy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:04.120,0:25:09.480
And they do so in bursts rather than&nbsp;
a smooth flow, unlike instincts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:10.840,0:25:13.360
Will vs. Will Power</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:13.360,0:25:20.520
Human emotions generate a new faculty of will in&nbsp;
the structure of our mind. Will is nothing but an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:20.520,0:25:28.480
urge to compensate for the loss of sensitivity,&nbsp;
joy and creativity suffered by instinctual drives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:29.800,0:25:35.520
Moral faculty is very much able to see through&nbsp;
the real purpose behind the generation of this new</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:35.520,0:25:43.240
faculty. And in its attempt to keep it suppressed&nbsp;
as it was before its inception, it comes up with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:43.240,0:25:49.680
a newer faculty that we call will power.
Contrary to what we believe it to be,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:50.200,0:25:58.820
will power, in reality, is the power acting&nbsp;
against the execution of will, not for it. Will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:58.820,0:26:04.880
power is armed with the appeal of being morally&nbsp;
judicious to work against the execution of will.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:05.880,0:26:13.240
It does so by projecting will as irresponsible&nbsp;
even if it cannot brand it as immoral.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:14.680,0:26:23.200
Will is not a very healthy faculty in our mind&nbsp;
but will power is even less so! Will, comprising</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:23.200,0:26:31.360
both positive and negative human emotions, creates&nbsp;
sharp edges in our personality. It is because will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:31.360,0:26:39.160
expresses energy in hot aggressive bursts and not&nbsp;
in a cool smooth flow like instinctual drives do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:40.680,0:26:47.000
And as far as will power is concerned, its sole&nbsp;
purpose is to block the flow of life energy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:48.320,0:26:54.280
It doesn’t bother if this energy belongs&nbsp;
to instinctual drives or to human emotions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:55.600,0:27:00.600
How Established Value Systems&nbsp;
Resulted In Charitable Organizations</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:02.080,0:27:07.800
We saw how moral value systems always&nbsp;
worked to suppress and even repress</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:07.800,0:27:15.240
the passion and joy of the free instinctual drives&nbsp;
of sex, curiosity, adventure and interaction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:16.440,0:27:21.920
They turned life mechanical and the&nbsp;
masses into cogs of the incessant wheel</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:21.920,0:27:31.000
of consumerist production. Consequently, despite&nbsp;
the abundant material progress that humanity made,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:31.000,0:27:36.160
the individual cogs of the wheel always&nbsp;
felt a sense of spiritual scarcity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:37.360,0:27:42.080
The fruits of this abundant growth&nbsp;
were never distributed liberally.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:43.560,0:27:47.360
Hence the masses always felt&nbsp;
material scarcity as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:48.880,0:27:55.160
As cogs of the wheel, the individuals also&nbsp;
seriously limited their potential for insight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:56.280,0:28:01.360
Insight could have turned humanity&nbsp;
into a real abundant society for all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:01.360,0:28:06.080
and not for only a chosen few sitting at&nbsp;
the helm of those wheels of production.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:07.280,0:28:14.720
However, we took the less valuable path of&nbsp;
mere innovation, arising from a sharp mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:14.720,0:28:22.800
as opposed to a truly intelligent brain. Thus,&nbsp;
moral value systems ruined it once again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:24.280,0:28:31.360
The more materially abundant humanity grew,&nbsp;
the more impoverished its individuals felt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:32.440,0:28:39.000
Moral value systems worked very well to keep its&nbsp;
individuals alive enough to keep working as those</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:39.000,0:28:47.320
cogs in its giant wheel of perennial growth. It&nbsp;
very cunningly created charitable organizations,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:47.320,0:28:51.640
putting charity at a high&nbsp;
pedestal as a liberal moral value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:53.160,0:29:00.360
Do you see the pattern yet? When esteem needs&nbsp;
got corrupted by the currency of morality,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:00.360,0:29:07.360
we ended up, yet again, with an institutional&nbsp;
manifestation of another sociocultural chakra,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:07.360,0:29:12.840
this time the throat chakra.
Charitable organizations gradually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:12.840,0:29:19.080
gained credence to such a degree that, today,&nbsp;
a significant portion of the population is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:19.080,0:29:23.480
surviving on the government charity in&nbsp;
some parts of the developing world today.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 32nd episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs!</strong>” will tell you about corruption in charitable organizations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Value systems fall under sociocultural throat chakra to fulfill the needs of self-esteem.  The currency here is ‘morals’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘Morals’, the sociocultural currency of the next deficiency need, i.e., self-esteem, turned more important than need itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cultural extension of morals, i.e., value systems, started as ethical codes for social esteem but soon turned into moral codes for suppressing the individual spirit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Charitable and non-profit organizations became the face of this suppression and resulted in the sociocultural throat chakra getting closed. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In our journey of sociocultural evolution, our value systems have also been disintegrating and are confusing us at each and every step we, the Homo sapiens, take today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 id="wants-vs-needs-corruption-of-esteem-needs-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs!”, I dive deep into the intricate relationship between morality, self-esteem, and the socio-cultural structures that shape our society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I explore how the moral values created by humanity, which were intended to serve our self-esteem needs, have been corrupted and manipulated by those in power.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how these moral codes, initially designed to uphold social esteem, have transformed into instruments of suppression that close the socio-cultural throat chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through a critical lens, I examine the disintegration of value systems and their impact on charitable and non-profit organizations, revealing how they have become emblematic of this suppression.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I question the very foundation of our moral values and their relationship with our instinctual drives, challenging you to reconsider what it means to live authentically in a society riddled with contradictions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I navigate this complex terrain, I uncover the unfortunate consequences of these moral constructs on personal relationships and societal cohesion.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode encourages you to reflect on the true essence of charity and the implications of a system that prioritizes moral currency over genuine need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this enlightening discussion that sheds light on the corruption of our charitable institutions and the broader implications for humanity.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:01.040,0:00:05.360
Why did humanity feel the need&nbsp;
to create moral values at all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:05.360,0:00:09.320
if they were not naturally built&nbsp;
in our psychobiological structure?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.160,0:00:35.240
Today’s episode titled “Corruption Unleashed:&nbsp;
How It Distorts Our Self-Esteem Needs!”, I will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:35.240,0:00:38.880
tell you about corruption&nbsp;
in charitable organizations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:40.240,0:00:45.840
Value systems fall under sociocultural throat&nbsp;
chakra to fulfill the needs of self-esteem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:47.000,0:00:54.360
The currency here is ‘morals’. ‘Morals’,&nbsp;
the sociocultural currency of the next</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:54.360,0:01:00.400
deficiency need, i.e., self-esteem,&nbsp;
turned more important than need itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:01.640,0:01:08.080
The cultural extension of morals, i.e.,&nbsp;
value systems, started as ethical codes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:08.080,0:01:14.320
for social esteem but soon turned into moral&nbsp;
codes for suppressing the individual spirit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:15.560,0:01:21.680
Charitable and non-profit organizations became&nbsp;
the face of this suppression and resulted in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:21.680,0:01:27.120
sociocultural throat chakra getting closed.
Value Systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:28.560,0:01:34.480
In our journey of sociocultural evolution, our&nbsp;
value systems have also been disintegrating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:34.480,0:01:40.400
and are confusing us at each and every&nbsp;
step we, the Homo sapiens, take today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:41.720,0:01:44.800
Moral Values &amp; Instinctual Drives:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:46.160,0:01:52.400
We are born with a set of instinctual drives which&nbsp;
are inherent in our psychobiological structure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:53.600,0:01:59.520
We don’t have to go anywhere in order&nbsp;
to learn about them. On the other hand</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:59.520,0:02:06.280
we are not born with any set of moral values&nbsp;
in our psychobiological structure. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:06.280,0:02:12.680
they are not inherent to the human being and&nbsp;
need to be taught anew to every new child born.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:14.040,0:02:18.760
Is there any relationship between the two?
Certainly yes!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:19.640,0:02:25.640
But before investigating into this relationship,&nbsp;
we need to ask another more important question.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:26.960,0:02:32.840
Why did humanity feel the need to create&nbsp;
moral values at all if they were not naturally</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:32.840,0:02:39.720
built in our psychobiological structure?
Moral values became necessary because a few</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:39.720,0:02:48.160
of those purely instinctual drives scared humans&nbsp;
who then perceived them as threats. This happened</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:48.160,0:02:53.040
when humans set out to create a new social&nbsp;
order for the first time in our distant past.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:54.320,0:02:57.400
Which social order were&nbsp;
they scheming to establish?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:58.840,0:03:03.320
It was a plutocratic (the rule or power of wealth)&nbsp;
male dominated social system, operating from an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:03.320,0:03:09.400
already closed sociocultural root chakra, that&nbsp;
these moral values were plotting to uphold.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:10.800,0:03:17.600
And the plutocrats could simply go ahead and&nbsp;
push these so-called values using their wealth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:18.960,0:03:25.280
They could apply that wealth to either bribe&nbsp;
or starve their subjects to buy their opinion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:26.720,0:03:32.880
Wealth in the form of personal ownership of&nbsp;
resources had very recently made its entry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:32.880,0:03:40.960
into human life. The ones who were either&nbsp;
strong or cunning or both, for that matter,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:40.960,0:03:47.640
were able to amass these resources more than&nbsp;
the rest, like we discussed in Episode 30.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:48.960,0:03:52.760
And why were these initiators predominantly males?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:54.200,0:04:02.080
It was so because males were stronger (even&nbsp;
if not more cunning) than females. Also they</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:02.080,0:04:07.680
had more time at their disposal to accumulate&nbsp;
more wealth than their female counterparts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:09.120,0:04:15.000
It was simply because females lost time&nbsp;
in delivering and rearing up their kids.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:16.320,0:04:19.840
The kids decidedly belonged to their mothers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:19.840,0:04:27.240
and not fathers since no one could establish&nbsp;
fatherhood beyond doubt. And as they grew,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:27.800,0:04:34.640
they would support their mothers in the pursuit&nbsp;
of amassing wealth. In a way, it could be seen as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:34.640,0:04:41.360
the wealth regained that their mothers had lost&nbsp;
access to while delivering and rearing them up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:42.680,0:04:49.080
So, males needed a way to know, beyond&nbsp;
doubt, who the father of any given kid was.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:50.360,0:04:56.240
With their sociocultural throat chakras closed,&nbsp;
the males felt ignored as compared to the females,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:56.240,0:05:03.480
thus hurting their esteem. But this would only&nbsp;
be possible if the females agreed to it as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:04.880,0:05:11.040
For this, they needed to stop following their&nbsp;
instinctual drive to have sex with any males of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:11.040,0:05:15.480
their choice at any time.
Why would they agree?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:17.080,0:05:24.800
Powerful males in those early societies designed&nbsp;
a new faculty of thought which would uphold newly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:24.800,0:05:31.880
envisioned ‘moral values’ as essentially opposite&nbsp;
alternatives to certain instinctual drives</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:31.880,0:05:40.400
predominantly including sex. They did so because,&nbsp;
by this time, their collective sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:40.400,0:05:47.920
throat chakras were already closed. They were&nbsp;
supported by so-called supernatural practitioners</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:47.920,0:05:53.000
who enjoyed a high status among&nbsp;
ignorantly naive early human dwellings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:54.600,0:05:59.360
These supernatural practitioners,&nbsp;
initially looking forward to transcendence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:00.080,0:06:03.880
had already fallen prey to&nbsp;
its currency named ‘faith’,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:04.480,0:06:11.080
thus closing the sociocultural crown chakra&nbsp;
of the society. More on that in Episode 33.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:12.480,0:06:20.000
The first of such newly established moral values&nbsp;
declared sex as the basic sin to be avoided as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:20.000,0:06:27.120
much as possible. But since&nbsp;curbing such a&nbsp;
powerful instinct en masse wasn’t feasible</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:27.120,0:06:34.960
practically, a new rule was framed that one female&nbsp;
having sex with multiple males was ‘immoral’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:36.320,0:06:42.680
If she did, she would be severely punished by&nbsp;
another new entity created by the supernatural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:42.680,0:06:48.880
practitioners, named ‘God’.
An Unfortunate Consequence:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:50.240,0:06:57.240
In order for this rule to look unbiased between&nbsp;
genders, it was framed as such for both of them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:58.680,0:07:05.000
But as an unfortunate consequence, it was&nbsp;
never implemented for males as strictly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:05.000,0:07:11.840
as it was done for females. This was&nbsp;
because human biology went against females.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:13.440,0:07:19.000
Any female engaging in stealthy sex&nbsp;
would sooner or later conceive children</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:19.000,0:07:26.400
and be caught for her transgressions. On the other&nbsp;
hand, males could easily evade detection of their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:26.400,0:07:34.600
own transgressions without any telltale signs.
Monogamy – Marriage Comes Into Existence:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:36.040,0:07:43.000
To put an official stamp on this rule, a new&nbsp;
social institution named marriage was designed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:44.440,0:07:52.240
It limited the choice of sex partners to just&nbsp;
one over an entire lifetime as against many</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:52.240,0:08:00.880
for as much time as desired. In some societies a&nbsp;
male could marry several females simultaneously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.440,0:08:06.000
But females were rarely, if&nbsp;
at all, provided this luxury!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:07.560,0:08:14.120
Monogamy, initiated under the domination of&nbsp;
morals effecting sociocultural throat chakra,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:14.760,0:08:19.440
changed its shape to a new social&nbsp;
institution, namely marriage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:20.720,0:08:25.560
Marriage, designed under the domination of the&nbsp;
currency we are calling ‘personal ownership of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:25.560,0:08:33.000
resources’ further extended adherence to monogamy,&nbsp;
thereby effecting the sociocultural root chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:34.520,0:08:40.040
This enhanced adherence ensured that&nbsp;
the males could be surer about being the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:40.040,0:08:47.520
biological fathers of their spouse’s children.&nbsp;
It turned them all into a close-knit family,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:48.040,0:08:55.320
another sociocultural institution that came&nbsp;
into existence. Hence, before they died,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:55.320,0:09:01.520
the males could hand over their personal ownership&nbsp;
of resources to their children without any doubt,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:01.520,0:09:09.440
like their mothers had always done. Thus marriage,&nbsp;
further strengthening sociocultural root chakra,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:09.440,0:09:16.640
facilitated males to weave a close-knit safety&nbsp;
network in their immediate familial vicinity, too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:18.080,0:09:19.160
Human Mind:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:20.520,0:09:25.480
Now, a new moral science was&nbsp;
envisaged comprising a set of morals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:27.120,0:09:30.560
These were the morals that humans ought to follow</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:30.560,0:09:35.440
even if they were directly against the&nbsp;
calls of their own instinctual drives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:36.920,0:09:41.280
Eventually, all&nbsp;such social&nbsp;
morals that were implemented</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:41.280,0:09:48.040
went against those allegedly dangerous natural&nbsp;
instinctual drives in one way or the other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.560,0:09:55.240
We as humans are born with instinctual&nbsp;
drives alone in our mind-body system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:55.960,0:10:01.520
We don’t have any sort of human emotions or&nbsp;
morals in our mind that we start our life with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:03.120,0:10:09.760
Later, in our journey from childhood to adulthood,&nbsp;
we learn the history of human development.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:11.120,0:10:18.760
We learn it in each and every subject and store&nbsp;
it in the knowledge base of our mind. Then,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:18.760,0:10:25.760
as we grow, we add to that knowledge base from our&nbsp;
own personal experiences to enhance it further.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:27.280,0:10:33.520
This is what the ideal development of human&nbsp;
mind is supposed to be like. It is a set of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:33.520,0:10:39.160
instinctual drives along with a knowledge base&nbsp;
of human achievements in various subjects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:40.520,0:10:47.840
However, in practice, that is not all that our&nbsp;
mind is subjected to during the formative years of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:47.840,0:10:56.200
our development. It is also indoctrinated with a&nbsp;
value system which is not limited to morals alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:57.640,0:11:02.560
Consequently, it tries to turn them&nbsp;
into our aesthetic values as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:04.160,0:11:10.120
Presently, our culture very eagerly nails&nbsp;
down several moral values onto our minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:11.600,0:11:17.160
Sex As A&nbsp;Necessary Evil
We are taught by our religious</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:17.160,0:11:24.640
culture that sex is a necessary evil. This is&nbsp;
done at a stage in our lives when we have not</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:24.640,0:11:30.280
even experienced it as a fully developed&nbsp;
instinctual drive in our mind-body system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:31.520,0:11:39.600
Our minds get conditioned against sex even before&nbsp;
our body grows to incorporate it into our system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:40.560,0:11:45.880
And&nbsp;the time it does, our conditioning&nbsp;
starts making us feel guilty about it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:47.360,0:11:51.120
Truthfulness
We are taught that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:51.120,0:11:58.560
truth is a desirable parameter of integrity&nbsp;
even when we don’t know what a lie is. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:58.560,0:12:06.240
the very inception of truth as a desirable moral&nbsp;
value sows the seeds of learning how to tell lies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:07.720,0:12:14.480
Prior to sociocultural evolution, our instinctual&nbsp;
drives may not have felt a need to tell a lie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:15.880,0:12:19.360
But we may not have said we&nbsp;
were speaking the truth either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:20.800,0:12:26.640
We may have simply said we were speaking. We&nbsp;
may not have needed either of the two concepts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:27.520,0:12:32.720
Plainly speaking about what we saw&nbsp;
and what we did may have been enough.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:34.200,0:12:38.800
But the same social system that&nbsp;
established monogamy and plutocracy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:38.800,0:12:45.160
realized it was suppressing extremely&nbsp;
strong instinctual drives. It also realized</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:45.160,0:12:51.000
people WOULD tend to satiate these drives&nbsp;
stealthily and then claim they did not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:52.200,0:12:58.360
So, a new concept of truth was envisaged as&nbsp;
opposite to a more basic concept of a lie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.480,0:13:06.320
If a lie were never needed, there wouldn’t have&nbsp;
been any need for a concept of truth to exist too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:07.480,0:13:11.280
But lies entered the domain of human action</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:11.280,0:13:17.640
owing to the establishment of a cunningly&nbsp;
unjustified as well as an unhealthy society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:19.320,0:13:26.200
Hence, truth was designed as a moral value&nbsp;
to stop people from lying. People, however,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:26.200,0:13:33.600
lied innocently only to satiate their instinctual&nbsp;
drives and hide it from those in authority.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:35.000,0:13:39.560
That is why&nbsp;speaking the truth should&nbsp;
be brought down from its high pedestal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:40.200,0:13:46.240
We need to peel off the facade of reverence&nbsp;
that our moral values have assigned to it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:47.360,0:13:48.120
Honesty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:49.520,0:13:57.280
Same is the story of honesty. The very&nbsp;
inception of honesty as a desirable moral value</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:57.280,0:14:05.560
sows the seeds of learning how to be dishonest.
Prior to sociocultural evolution, there may not</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:05.560,0:14:11.680
have been anything like dishonesty in our&nbsp;
instinctual drives that we needed to act on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:13.080,0:14:19.040
But the newly established and unjustified&nbsp;
social system feared that people could plot</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:19.040,0:14:26.800
secret schemes to rebel against its inherent&nbsp;
suppression. The said moral termed any such</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:26.800,0:14:34.000
possibility as dishonesty and coined a desirable&nbsp;
behavior named honesty as its antithesis.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:35.400,0:14:41.920
It is interesting to note that most so-called&nbsp;
anti-moral values are named&nbsp;to be the antithesis</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:41.920,0:14:50.960
of moral values; dishonesty vs honesty, for&nbsp;
example. But in fact, conceptually speaking,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:50.960,0:14:58.240
these were morals that were actually conceived as&nbsp;
the antitheses of the so-called anti-moral acts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:59.360,0:15:00.520
Sense of Duty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:01.800,0:15:08.400
Sense of duty is a set of actions we ought&nbsp;
to do whether we feel like doing them or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:09.320,0:15:14.040
Why do we need a stipulation like this&nbsp;
if we already feel like doing those?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:15.120,0:15:21.360
And why do we need the ones being stipulated&nbsp;
if our mind does not feel like doing those?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:22.600,0:15:28.560
Our culture seems to have decided the validity&nbsp;
of ‘duty’ even if it goes against the natural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:28.560,0:15:35.560
composition of the human mind. What good&nbsp;
can we expect to come out of those dutiful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:35.560,0:15:40.640
actions if they don’t have the energy&nbsp;
of our natural willfulness behind them?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:42.160,0:15:50.160
They will simply get reduced to a level of being&nbsp;
artificially performed as forced rituals. We</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:50.160,0:15:56.160
will&nbsp;undertake and then perform them only to keep&nbsp;
away the guilt of not having done them at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:57.600,0:16:03.280
Prior to sociocultural evolution, we may&nbsp;
have lived with our instinctual drives</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:03.280,0:16:10.160
guiding our actions and behavior. And we may&nbsp;
not have needed a concept like a sense of duty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:11.080,0:16:16.560
We may have simply acted out what our&nbsp;
spontaneous feeling guided us to do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:17.920,0:16:24.400
It is plausible that any such spontaneous feeling&nbsp;
may primarily have been of concern and sympathy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:24.400,0:16:31.520
for one another. So we may not have needed a sense&nbsp;
of duty in order to act in the most desirable way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:33.080,0:16:38.160
But with the suppression of our instinctual&nbsp;
drives, we wouldn’t feel such concern and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:38.160,0:16:43.680
sympathy for those who have themselves&nbsp;
also suppressed those same drives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:45.200,0:16:52.080
Once again, as yet another anti-thesis to&nbsp;
instinctual drives, the sense of duty was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:52.080,0:17:00.160
formulated as one more&nbsp;moral value. Morals were&nbsp;
supposed to be upheld under any circumstances.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:01.480,0:17:07.280
Otherwise, the sin that we committed would&nbsp;
not let us live without a feeling of guilt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:08.520,0:17:09.520
Respect</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:10.640,0:17:17.120
We are taught to respect our elders and seniors.&nbsp;
We are not taught to respect our juniors.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.920,0:17:23.160
Why this one-sided approach to something that&nbsp;
our culture considers such an important value?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:24.640,0:17:31.720
Therefore, respect as a value immediately&nbsp;
strikes us as feudal in its very inception.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:32.800,0:17:40.880
The human mind is not designed to respect. It is&nbsp;
designed to interact. It is designed to share. And</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:40.880,0:17:48.240
it is designed to love. Respect is a very formal&nbsp;
concept that requires a distance between the two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:48.240,0:17:56.480
individuals involved. The respected one stands&nbsp;
on a higher pedestal than the one who respects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:57.600,0:18:03.840
The more we respect like we do our fathers,&nbsp;
especially in the developing countries,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:03.840,0:18:10.280
the less we love them. That is because&nbsp;
respect necessitates&nbsp;kind of separation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:11.440,0:18:18.760
And the more we love like we do our mothers,&nbsp;
the less we need to respect them. That is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:18.760,0:18:26.720
because love eliminates any such separation.
It is still customary in the Eastern societies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:26.720,0:18:32.760
(and used to be in all societies until a few&nbsp;
centuries ago) for fathers to act like an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:32.760,0:18:39.920
authoritarian judge in the family court passing&nbsp;
sentences on kids that are generally corporal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:41.040,0:18:48.440
Mothers can, at best, play the role of kids’&nbsp;
advocates pleading mercy for their ‘crimes’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:49.640,0:18:57.200
Same, till very recently, had been true in case&nbsp;
of teachers in schools as well. Teachers have been</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:57.200,0:19:04.320
preoccupied with enforcing respect as a means to&nbsp;
extracting their desired behavior from students.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:05.480,0:19:12.200
This has created an authoritative chasm between&nbsp;
the teacher and the student, thereby eliminating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:12.200,0:19:20.080
any possibility of a healthy kinship. Such kinship&nbsp;
may have resulted in the desired behaviors more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:20.080,0:19:26.680
organically in the first place. Laws have been&nbsp;
made in some of these countries prohibiting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:26.680,0:19:32.440
teachers assigning corporal punishments to&nbsp;
the students though they are often broken.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:33.760,0:19:34.640
Obedience</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:36.080,0:19:43.560
Obedience, as a value, is a sub-set of respect. As&nbsp;
a younger person, we are not supposed to question</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:43.560,0:19:50.200
or raise doubts against the orders of our&nbsp;
elders. This again is a very feudal value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:51.440,0:19:56.920
Here again, in the Eastern countries, kids are&nbsp;
supposed to be more obedient to their fathers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:56.920,0:20:03.200
than to their mothers who they can argue with at&nbsp;
times, though in the absence of their fathers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:04.680,0:20:09.600
Similarly they are culturally supposed&nbsp;
to be obedient to their teachers as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:11.120,0:20:17.440
As a result, they seldom question their teachers&nbsp;
even if they have genuine queries in their minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:18.800,0:20:23.800
Questioning teachers is not culturally&nbsp;
encouraged as learning is supposed to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:23.800,0:20:29.960
a one way communication from the teacher&nbsp;
to the student. The students are supposed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:29.960,0:20:34.400
to learn by rote what instructions&nbsp;
their teachers have passed on to them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:35.720,0:20:42.240
The human mind is not naturally designed for&nbsp;
feudalism. And if we force it to conform,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:42.800,0:20:47.600
we are simply suppressing the instinctual&nbsp;
drives we are naturally born with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:48.840,0:20:49.920
Good Manners</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:51.240,0:20:57.360
Good manners are all protocols in their essence.&nbsp;
We are supposed to behave a certain way in a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:57.360,0:21:03.600
certain scenario. And we do so whether we&nbsp;
are feeling like behaving that way or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:04.520,0:21:08.800
The more we follow these dictats,&nbsp;
the less authentic we become.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:10.120,0:21:15.200
We must say, “Very pleased to see you,”&nbsp;
on meeting someone even if we are not so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:16.000,0:21:21.160
Aren’t we telling a lie which violates&nbsp;
another moral value named truthfulness?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:22.400,0:21:23.080
Faith</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:24.400,0:21:30.080
If we have faith, we don’t question.&nbsp;
But our minds are wired to question.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:31.520,0:21:38.360
And faith as a moral value tries its best to&nbsp;
suppress curiosity that we are born with as an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:38.360,0:21:47.320
instinct. Unfortunately, it doesn’t limit itself&nbsp;
to being a moral value alone, it also plays its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:47.320,0:21:54.840
role as a currency for transcendence needs. As the&nbsp;
currency becomes more important than fulfilling</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:54.840,0:22:01.880
the genuine need as such, the sociocultural&nbsp;
crown chakra falls prey and gets closed as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:02.920,0:22:06.520
We are going to look into it in Episode 33.
Loyalty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:06.520,0:22:13.400
We have already talked about loyalty clouding&nbsp;
real love and belonging needs as their currency</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:13.400,0:22:21.400
through a closed sociocultural heart chakra in&nbsp;
Episode 31. But it goes a step further from there</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:21.400,0:22:28.080
as it assumes the status of ‘morals’ as well,&nbsp;
closing sociocultural throat chakra along.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:29.200,0:22:34.400
Loyalty is a highly respected moral&nbsp;
value which supposes us to be committed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:35.440,0:22:41.280
It is a commitment to a certain&nbsp;
person, institution or an idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:41.920,0:22:48.480
In addition, loyalty is uniquely characterized by&nbsp;
its blind and unconditional support for the same.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:49.720,0:22:54.640
Our minds, however, are not so&nbsp;
indiscriminate in their natural structure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:56.000,0:23:02.840
Loyalty simply stands against our judicious sense&nbsp;
of discernment between one action and another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:04.120,0:23:10.120
Now, we can go into further details of each&nbsp;
one of these values. We can easily show that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:10.120,0:23:16.160
they all stand against instinctual drives&nbsp;
either overtly or else in a covert way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:17.520,0:23:27.200
Instinctual Drives:
Eating | Drinking | Excreting | Curiosity |</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:27.200,0:23:37.680
Movement | Play | Adventure | Interaction |&nbsp;
Love | Grouping | Sex | Reproduction | Parenting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:38.960,0:23:44.160
The moral values are nailed very hard&nbsp;
and deep into the structure of the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:44.160,0:23:46.240
and away from the structure of the brain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:47.200,0:23:53.840
They play their role very well in suppressing&nbsp;
the energy of our death instincts and keep it so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:55.200,0:24:02.440
But, like water, energy can never be kept&nbsp;
suppressed for long. And like water finds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:02.440,0:24:08.640
new channels for its flow, energy also&nbsp;
invents new channels for its expression.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:09.960,0:24:11.280
Human Emotions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:12.640,0:24:19.120
The channels that the energy of these suppressed&nbsp;
instinctual drives invents for its expression are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:19.120,0:24:31.120
named human emotions. Of these, the main ones are:
Desire | Greed | Hope | Happiness | Surprise |</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:31.120,0:24:42.040
Anger | Envy | Jealousy | Disappointment |&nbsp;
Guilt | Sadness | Fear | Anxiety | Depression</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:43.320,0:24:49.160
These human emotions are channelled to express&nbsp;
the energy of the blocked instinctual drives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:50.560,0:24:55.760
But they are never as innocent and as&nbsp;
straightforward as the instinctual drives</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:55.760,0:25:02.720
themselves are. They are rather the distorted&nbsp;
forms of expressing the suppressed energy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:04.120,0:25:09.480
And they do so in bursts rather than&nbsp;
a smooth flow, unlike instincts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:10.840,0:25:13.360
Will vs. Will Power</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:13.360,0:25:20.520
Human emotions generate a new faculty of will in&nbsp;
the structure of our mind. Will is nothing but an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:20.520,0:25:28.480
urge to compensate for the loss of sensitivity,&nbsp;
joy and creativity suffered by instinctual drives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:29.800,0:25:35.520
Moral faculty is very much able to see through&nbsp;
the real purpose behind the generation of this new</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:35.520,0:25:43.240
faculty. And in its attempt to keep it suppressed&nbsp;
as it was before its inception, it comes up with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:43.240,0:25:49.680
a newer faculty that we call will power.
Contrary to what we believe it to be,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:50.200,0:25:58.820
will power, in reality, is the power acting&nbsp;
against the execution of will, not for it. Will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:58.820,0:26:04.880
power is armed with the appeal of being morally&nbsp;
judicious to work against the execution of will.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:05.880,0:26:13.240
It does so by projecting will as irresponsible&nbsp;
even if it cannot brand it as immoral.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:14.680,0:26:23.200
Will is not a very healthy faculty in our mind&nbsp;
but will power is even less so! Will, comprising</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:23.200,0:26:31.360
both positive and negative human emotions, creates&nbsp;
sharp edges in our personality. It is because will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:31.360,0:26:39.160
expresses energy in hot aggressive bursts and not&nbsp;
in a cool smooth flow like instinctual drives do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:40.680,0:26:47.000
And as far as will power is concerned, its sole&nbsp;
purpose is to block the flow of life energy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:48.320,0:26:54.280
It doesn’t bother if this energy belongs&nbsp;
to instinctual drives or to human emotions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:55.600,0:27:00.600
How Established Value Systems&nbsp;
Resulted In Charitable Organizations</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:02.080,0:27:07.800
We saw how moral value systems always&nbsp;
worked to suppress and even repress</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:07.800,0:27:15.240
the passion and joy of the free instinctual drives&nbsp;
of sex, curiosity, adventure and interaction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:16.440,0:27:21.920
They turned life mechanical and the&nbsp;
masses into cogs of the incessant wheel</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:21.920,0:27:31.000
of consumerist production. Consequently, despite&nbsp;
the abundant material progress that humanity made,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:31.000,0:27:36.160
the individual cogs of the wheel always&nbsp;
felt a sense of spiritual scarcity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:37.360,0:27:42.080
The fruits of this abundant growth&nbsp;
were never distributed liberally.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:43.560,0:27:47.360
Hence the masses always felt&nbsp;
material scarcity as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:48.880,0:27:55.160
As cogs of the wheel, the individuals also&nbsp;
seriously limited their potential for insight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:56.280,0:28:01.360
Insight could have turned humanity&nbsp;
into a real abundant society for all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:01.360,0:28:06.080
and not for only a chosen few sitting at&nbsp;
the helm of those wheels of production.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:07.280,0:28:14.720
However, we took the less valuable path of&nbsp;
mere innovation, arising from a sharp mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:14.720,0:28:22.800
as opposed to a truly intelligent brain. Thus,&nbsp;
moral value systems ruined it once again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:24.280,0:28:31.360
The more materially abundant humanity grew,&nbsp;
the more impoverished its individuals felt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:32.440,0:28:39.000
Moral value systems worked very well to keep its&nbsp;
individuals alive enough to keep working as those</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:39.000,0:28:47.320
cogs in its giant wheel of perennial growth. It&nbsp;
very cunningly created charitable organizations,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:47.320,0:28:51.640
putting charity at a high&nbsp;
pedestal as a liberal moral value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:53.160,0:29:00.360
Do you see the pattern yet? When esteem needs&nbsp;
got corrupted by the currency of morality,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:00.360,0:29:07.360
we ended up, yet again, with an institutional&nbsp;
manifestation of another sociocultural chakra,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:07.360,0:29:12.840
this time the throat chakra.
Charitable organizations gradually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:12.840,0:29:19.080
gained credence to such a degree that, today,&nbsp;
a significant portion of the population is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:19.080,0:29:23.480
surviving on the government charity in&nbsp;
some parts of the developing world today.</p>

Welcome back to the 32nd episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



Today’s episode titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs!” will tell you about corruption in charitable organizations.



Value systems fall under sociocultural throat chakra to fulfill the needs of self-esteem.  The currency here is ‘morals’.



‘Morals’, the sociocultural currency of the next deficiency need, i.e., self-esteem, turned more important than need itself.



The cultural extension of morals, i.e., value systems, started as ethical codes for social esteem but soon turned into moral codes for suppressing the individual spirit.



Charitable and non-profit organizations became the face of this suppression and resulted in the sociocultural throat chakra getting closed. 



In our journey of sociocultural evolution, our value systems have also been disintegrating and are confusing us at each and every step we, the Homo sapiens, take today.



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







Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs! - Show Notes





In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Esteem Needs!”, I dive deep into the intricate relationship between morality, self-esteem, and the socio-cultural structures that shape our society.



Join me as I explore how the moral values created by humanity, which were intended to serve our self-esteem needs, have been corrupted and manipulated by those in power.&nbsp;



Discover how these moral codes, initially designed to uphold social esteem, have transformed into instruments of suppression that close the socio-cultural throat chakra.



Through a critical lens, I examine the disintegration of value systems and their impact on charitable and non-profit organizations, revealing how they have become emblematic of this suppression.&nbsp;



I question the very foundation of our moral values and their relationship with our instinctual drives, challenging you to reconsider what it means to live authentically in a society riddled with contradictions.



As I navigate this complex terrain, I uncover the unfortunate consequences of these moral constructs on personal relationships and societal cohesion.&nbsp;



This episode encourages you to reflect on the true essence of charity and the implications of a system that prioritizes moral currency over genuine need.



Don’t miss this enlightening discussion that sheds light on the corruption of our charitable institutions and the broader implications for humanity.



Here are the highlights...



(00:00:00) - Why did humanity need to create moral values at all if they weren't naturally



(00:09:18) - All social morals that were implemented went against human instinctual drives



(00:19:48) - Loyalty is a highly respected moral value which supposes commitment

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Love and Belonging Needs!</strong>” will tell you about corruption in marriage, organized sport, and nation state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The institutions of marriage, organized sport and nation state make up the sociocultural heart chakra that aims to fulfill the needs of love and belongingness in society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The currencies it uses are ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’. Identification and attachment turned more important than fulfilling the needs of compassionate love and belonging in society.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this compelling episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, I dive into the intricate web of corruption woven through the institutions of marriage, organized sport, and nation states.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Love and Belonging Needs!” this episode explores how these societal pillars, designed to fulfill our needs for love and belonging, have been compromised by the currencies of identity and loyalty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we unpack the socio-cultural heart chakra, we reveal how the essence of love has been distorted, leading to the disintegration of marriage and the transformation of sports into a battlefield of ego.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The episode highlights the increasing divorce rates that threaten family structures and the rise of nationalism that fosters division and hatred.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I investigate the implications of these corruptions on our relationships and societal cohesion, questioning what true love means in a world where identity and loyalty overshadow genuine connection.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:48.960,0:00:54.400

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:03.640,0:01:09.520

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:14.680,0:01:22.200
these needs gave rise to social institutions such&nbsp;
as marriage, organized sport and nation state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:23.480,0:01:28.560
Today, the institution of marriage has&nbsp;
come down to the verge of extinction,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:28.560,0:01:35.840
thanks to the ever-increasing rate of divorces.
Sporting spirit took a big hit the moment it got</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:35.840,0:01:41.400
redesigned on the lines of mini warfare,&nbsp;
thereby corrupting its whole foundation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:42.560,0:01:50.240
Loyalty and patriotism promoted love and belonging&nbsp;
in society but in an extremely fragmented way,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:50.240,0:01:55.840
leading to nation states. It&nbsp;
also promoted the “othering”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:55.840,0:02:02.360
and hatred against the so-called enemy&nbsp;
societies. It never had a compassionate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:02.360,0:02:08.880
concern for the undivided humanity despite&nbsp;
the numerous slogans it raised along the way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:10.240,0:02:17.040
This gave rise to disparate ideologies that&nbsp;
often ended up in arms against one another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:18.520,0:02:23.800
That was what happened during the Cold&nbsp;
War that lasted almost half a century.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:25.240,0:02:31.480
Result – sociocultural heart chakra shut!
Marriage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:32.880,0:02:38.720
In the wake of the present human awareness, the&nbsp;
institution of marriage seems to be moving toward</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:38.720,0:02:47.560
disintegration. Divorces are at an all-time&nbsp;
high creating a traumatic hell for the children</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:47.560,0:02:52.200
whose lives are irreparably disrupted&nbsp;
as and when a marriage breaks down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:53.600,0:02:58.680
It is too late to go back to the old&nbsp;
community patternh1 of hunter-gatherers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:58.680,0:03:06.080
where fatherhood was inclusive. The reason is&nbsp;
that, today, a father can very easily know who</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:06.080,0:03:13.400
his offshoot is with a simple DNA test.&nbsp;
Even an offshoot can do it later in life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:14.080,0:03:19.160
All this can lead to many kinds of&nbsp;
complexities in relationship patterns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:20.560,0:03:25.800
Let’s investigate Maslow’s deficiency need&nbsp;
for love and belonging a little deeper.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:26.440,0:03:31.400
If we objectively look at it,&nbsp;
neither psychology nor literature</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.400,0:03:36.600
has yet been able to provide an authentic&nbsp;
definition of the phenomenon called love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:38.080,0:03:44.960
And the hard fact is that love occupies the most&nbsp;
central stage in the human psyche as a drive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:45.760,0:03:52.760
All our literature including poetry, drama,&nbsp;
cinema and fiction thrives on love the most.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:54.160,0:04:01.920
Even religion vouches by it. At times,&nbsp;
philosophers did try to define the phenomenon,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:01.920,0:04:09.960
but there has not been any consensus among them&nbsp;
yet. Humanity still understands love only in an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:09.960,0:04:16.880
intuitive sense. But this intuitive sense about&nbsp;
love is the strongest among all other mental</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:16.880,0:04:25.440
phenomena whether emotional, instinctual or moral.&nbsp;
I think majority of humanity would vouch for it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:26.080,0:04:32.240
And at least in the modern society, people marry&nbsp;
only when they have fallen in love with someone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:33.600,0:04:39.360
So, how do we define love? It certainly has&nbsp;
something to do with a sense of belonging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:40.080,0:04:44.120
But that does not take us any closer&nbsp;
to an objective definition of love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:45.000,0:04:50.600
At best, it simply acts as a synonym.
Is love an emotion?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:51.800,0:04:58.080
No. Love cannot be an emotion. Emotions&nbsp;
have their abode in mind alone,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:58.080,0:05:04.240
not in the mind-body system as an organic part&nbsp;
of it. Love is actually a mind-body state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:05.520,0:05:07.200
Is love a moral value?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:08.680,0:05:16.040
Not even that! Morals are all foreign concepts&nbsp;
nailed into mind alone while we grow up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:16.840,0:05:21.920
They, too, are not there in the mind-body&nbsp;
system as an organic part of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:23.240,0:05:24.800
Is love an instinct?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:26.040,0:05:33.000
Exactly! We are born with it in our body even&nbsp;
when our mind has not yet started developing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:33.560,0:05:40.760
The newborn immediately starts feeling a sense&nbsp;
of belonging to their mother. Later in life, we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:40.760,0:05:48.080
sense it via interacting with anyone or anything&nbsp;
through our senses. The deeper the interaction,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:48.080,0:05:55.120
the stronger is the sensation of love!
Thus love is a sensation. The more we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:55.120,0:06:02.040
have it through our interactions in-depth, the&nbsp;
more it makes us sensitive. The deeper we sense,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:02.040,0:06:09.080
the stronger we love. This deep sensitivity&nbsp;
enables us to feel the other inside out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:10.800,0:06:16.120
Why don’t we feel this sensation, then, while&nbsp;
interacting with others all day, everyday?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:17.520,0:06:21.640
Simply because we lose our sensitivity&nbsp;
considerably as we grow up in an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:21.640,0:06:28.240
unhealthy environment. Here comes the&nbsp;
debilitating role of the heart chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:28.240,0:06:34.680
sticking the chest ‘in’ instead of protruding&nbsp;
it ‘out’ via abducting shoulder joints</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:34.680,0:06:42.040
posturing them away from the torso as the first&nbsp;
nature of the body. They rather drop down via</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:42.040,0:06:50.760
adducting shoulder joints posturing them stuck to&nbsp;
the torso as an unhealthy habit. This unhealthy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:50.760,0:06:57.920
habit is responsible for closing heart chakra&nbsp;
as it generates a defensive muscular armor (by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:57.920,0:07:04.960
habitually keeping the muscles named pectoralis&nbsp;
major and pectoralis minor rigidly contracted)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:04.960,0:07:12.640
seriously limiting the openness of chest and&nbsp;
arms ready to embrace anyone and everyone around.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:13.960,0:07:20.960
It mentally results in keeping our ‘self’&nbsp;
protected from an imaginary threat of an attack on</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:20.960,0:07:31.360
it. On the other hand, the openness of chest and&nbsp;
arms ready to embrace anyone and everyone around</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:31.360,0:07:37.880
plays a key role in dissolving one’s ‘self’ with&nbsp;
an open heart chakra in combination with rest of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:37.880,0:07:45.440
the 6 chakras opened. This results in feeling the&nbsp;
sensation of love while interacting with others</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:45.440,0:07:54.720
through the day everyday. A healthy mind-body&nbsp;
system is an acutely sensitive system. The more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:54.720,0:08:02.080
it is sensitive physically as well as mentally,&nbsp;
the deeper it interacts and the more it loves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:03.520,0:08:09.296
Love is actually sensed through a flow of&nbsp;
energy in the body while interacting. That</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:09.296,0:08:16.160
is what makes one spiritually healthy as well.
And when a healthy mind-body system interacts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:16.160,0:08:23.320
in-depth with another mind-body system of&nbsp;
opposite gender in adulthood, the two interacting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:23.320,0:08:29.880
personalities not only sense love but may also&nbsp;
feel like making love between the two of them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:30.960,0:08:36.840
That is how two personalities may get&nbsp;
attracted to and fall in love with each other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:38.360,0:08:43.680
How do sociocultural systems for love and&nbsp;
belonging needs get affected when their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:43.680,0:08:50.760
currencies, namely ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’,&nbsp;
become more important than the real need itself?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:52.320,0:08:56.600
They close the sociocultural heart&nbsp;
chakra of our society en bulk.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:58.120,0:09:03.600
It is just like ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’&nbsp;
work in closing the biological heart chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.120,0:09:09.480
via keeping our ‘self’ protected from&nbsp;
an imaginary threat of an attack on it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:10.880,0:09:16.160
These two limiting currencies become the central&nbsp;
theme of the need for love and belonging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:17.640,0:09:22.920
Once it happens, these currencies&nbsp;
make boundaries around the ‘self’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:24.320,0:09:29.400
This keeps people isolated and&nbsp;
alienated from other people around them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:29.400,0:09:36.400
in the name of an imaginary safety and security&nbsp;
to keep their ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’ intact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:37.800,0:09:43.280
How much do we interact with our neighbors in the&nbsp;
modern apartment buildings we live in these days?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:44.760,0:09:49.320
And how readily do we unconditionally&nbsp;
interact with people across the boundaries</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.320,0:09:54.680
of our ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’, be&nbsp;
those the boundaries of nationality,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:54.680,0:10:03.640
religion, caste, class, faith, belief-system,&nbsp;
ideology, gender, possessive attachment,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:03.640,0:10:10.680
emotional attachment, moral attachment,&nbsp;
generation, and orthodox political affiliation?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:12.120,0:10:17.520
These are the tags of ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’&nbsp;
that keep us away from loving people through</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:17.520,0:10:25.280
unconditionally interacting with them in-depth.
True love never happens without deep interaction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:26.280,0:10:32.440
Also, love never happens without an acute&nbsp;
sensitivity to feel the other while interacting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:33.840,0:10:39.720
No doubt, then, that in the wake of the present&nbsp;
human awareness, the institution of marriage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:39.720,0:10:47.720
seems to be moving toward disintegration. Divorces&nbsp;
are at an all-time high creating a traumatic hell</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:47.720,0:10:54.400
for the children whose lives are irreparably&nbsp;
disrupted as and when a marriage breaks down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:55.920,0:10:58.440
How important is a father for a child?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:59.120,0:11:03.560
And how important is fatherhood for&nbsp;
a sensitive father in today’s life?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:05.240,0:11:11.000
If we look at it from this angle, traditional&nbsp;
marriage seems to be the best solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:11.840,0:11:18.680
Even a divorce has no place in it since it&nbsp;
traumatizes children’s life irreparably.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:20.200,0:11:23.640
But divorces cannot be stopped from taking place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:24.400,0:11:29.480
In fact, they are well on their way to&nbsp;
becoming the rule rather than exception.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:30.960,0:11:38.000
Even if divorces didn’t exist, marriages&nbsp;
turn from fond to dull relationships between</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:38.000,0:11:46.440
spouses within no time. When this happens, sex&nbsp;
turns from a romantic and passionate affair</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:46.440,0:11:53.680
into a mechanical rut sooner than later.
It is a catch-22 situation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:55.280,0:12:01.040
Organized Sport
Sports Vs Sportsman Spirit:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.440,0:12:08.480
Sports and sportsman spirit have come to be in&nbsp;
conflict with each other in today’s society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:09.360,0:12:15.000
It is simply owing to the way sports have been&nbsp;
designed and organized all over the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:16.360,0:12:17.960
Why do we play sport?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:19.600,0:12:24.720
I think a rational answer should be&nbsp;
‘to enjoy skilled physical activity’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:26.040,0:12:31.840
We enjoy the sporting skill that is required&nbsp;
in order to make strong and specific moves</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:31.840,0:12:39.600
demanded by any given sport. We also enjoy&nbsp;
corresponding moves by opponent players or teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:41.160,0:12:48.080
This makes it an awe-inspiring scene not only&nbsp;
for the players but for the spectators as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:49.440,0:12:50.760
Win Or Lose:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:52.480,0:12:57.760
It would be good enough if it were celebrated&nbsp;
like a festival to inspire awe in the players</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:57.760,0:13:07.200
and spectators. But their designers went a step&nbsp;
ahead and tagged the same moves and counter-moves</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:07.200,0:13:14.280
with victory and defeat. This introduced&nbsp;
the element of ego in their fabric.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:15.640,0:13:23.240
Who wants to get defeated? No one!
Who wants to win? Everyone!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:24.800,0:13:29.160
Thus, winning turned out to be&nbsp;
the prime motto of playing sport.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:30.560,0:13:37.800
The beauty of the skilled moves got pushed to the&nbsp;
margin. The result became more important than the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:37.800,0:13:42.920
enjoyment springing out of the aesthetic&nbsp;
of the awe-inspiring moves themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:44.360,0:13:50.600
We humans have a very crude habit of quantizing&nbsp;
quality which tends to kill its subtleness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:52.160,0:13:59.520
Being an instinct, love as a need for belonging&nbsp;
is always a subtle one. But when it gets</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:59.520,0:14:07.000
replaced with its currencies named ‘identity’ and&nbsp;
‘loyalty’, we start assessing it in these terms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:08.400,0:14:14.320
Our intention behind this is always to strengthen&nbsp;
our own limited ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:15.640,0:14:22.240
Assessment is only possible between quantities or&nbsp;
numbers that we start assigning to this quality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:23.640,0:14:29.320
No wonder, then, that we invent ways to&nbsp;
assign those quantities to the quality</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:29.320,0:14:35.680
displayed in a sporting event ending up&nbsp;
with victory for one and defeat for another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:37.120,0:14:43.280
It is again a very clear case of our sociocultural&nbsp;
system of sport getting afflicted with a closed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:43.280,0:14:51.040
sociocultural heart chakra. Combined with the&nbsp;
rest of other closed sociocultural chakras,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:51.040,0:14:57.080
it ultimately ends up getting afflicted&nbsp;
with practices like match-fixing, betting,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:57.080,0:15:02.960
violence in sports and many more ills.
Brute Force to Win:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:04.480,0:15:07.120
Then brute force becomes the rule of the game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:08.600,0:15:13.000
Let’s ask the same question again…
Why do we play sport?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:14.440,0:15:18.040
This time the answer is going&nbsp;
to be ‘in order to win’!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:19.440,0:15:26.560
Where is the existence of sportsman spirit lost?
It is only left in the sloganeering aimed at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:26.560,0:15:30.840
glamorizing sports for the very&nbsp;
thing they are no longer about!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:32.160,0:15:35.200
Can you see how the motive&nbsp;
to play changed diametrically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:35.200,0:15:42.600
opposite to the spirit of the sports this time?
And this is what inspires us to play sports in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:42.600,0:15:50.560
the present day scenario to win them at any cost.
Sports have been designed on the model of war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:52.000,0:15:55.640
Nation State
Patriotism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:57.200,0:16:04.160
Patriotism is a highly revered value all over&nbsp;
the world. It means love for one’s motherland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:05.520,0:16:12.240
Ironically the word patriotism has originated&nbsp;
from the Greek word patēr, which means father.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:13.480,0:16:17.440
Yet, it has been used to&nbsp;
express the love for a land</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:17.440,0:16:21.440
that has been associated not&nbsp;
with father but with mother.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:22.920,0:16:29.040
Logically, it should have been ‘matriotism’ if&nbsp;
it was to express our love for our motherland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:30.440,0:16:35.240
It simply shows our male gender&nbsp;
bias. ‘Father’ crept in even in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:35.240,0:16:40.480
formulation of a word that is touted as the&nbsp;
embodiment of something related to ‘mother’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:41.840,0:16:46.800
But it is not simply a slip of gender that&nbsp;
crept into the naming of something wrong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:47.640,0:16:52.280
It is much more than that.
The Male-oriented Mindset:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:53.520,0:16:55.720
The two mindsets were different…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:57.080,0:17:00.560
The mindset that formulated&nbsp;
the concept of patriotism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:02.280,0:17:08.160
The mindset that perceived the land of one’s&nbsp;
birth as the land belonging to one’s mother.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:09.520,0:17:11.360
Our So-called Motherlands:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:12.800,0:17:17.000
Our political bosses condition&nbsp;
us to be adversarial in nature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.840,0:17:23.680
They make our soldiers kill and get killed&nbsp;
without knowing the real reasons why.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:24.960,0:17:28.800
They brainwash us into believing that&nbsp;
they are doing so to defend their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:28.800,0:17:32.720
motherland from ‘our’ enemies,&nbsp;
simply because they love it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:33.440,0:17:39.320
The same is expected from soldiers as far&nbsp;
as their emotional and moral obligations go.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:40.920,0:17:47.600
How do we define our motherland?
It may be the village I was born in or the city</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:48.240,0:17:56.200
or the district or the state or else the country!&nbsp;
Why can’t it be the planet we were born on?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:57.800,0:18:03.320
It all depends on how narrow or wide our&nbsp;
field of vision and extent of sensitivity are.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:04.760,0:18:10.040
Why are our sensitivities limited to a&nbsp;
political expanse of land and its people?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:11.240,0:18:17.000
Why not beyond it as well?
An Example from Nazi Germany:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:18.480,0:18:24.680
By that token, if a German spoke against&nbsp;
Hitler in the late 1930s or early 1940s,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:25.240,0:18:29.000
s/he would be tagged as a&nbsp;
traitor or a seditionist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:30.320,0:18:37.480
But there were many Germans who did exactly that.&nbsp;
Today, they are not at all tagged as traitors,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:37.480,0:18:43.280
only because Hitler lost the war. Had&nbsp;
Hitler come out victorious in World War</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:43.280,0:18:49.120
II (WWII), they would certainly have been&nbsp;
dragged out on the streets and hanged publicly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:50.400,0:18:56.880
Did these Germans not love their land then? Did&nbsp;
they not love their country while Hitler ruled?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:58.280,0:19:04.360
They certainly did! But they were simply not&nbsp;
patriots in the narrow sense of its meaning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:05.400,0:19:12.360
That aggressive patriotism would have asked for&nbsp;
their loyalty to any official stand their country</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:12.360,0:19:17.080
took against the world.
Power Rules The World:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:18.480,0:19:22.840
So were they villains?
As said earlier,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:22.840,0:19:28.520
they would certainly have been tagged as&nbsp;
villains if Hitler had been victorious in WWII.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:29.960,0:19:35.880
Were they traitors or seditionists?
Again, they would certainly have been</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:35.880,0:19:40.800
tagged as traitors and seditionists&nbsp;
if Hitler had been victorious.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:41.920,0:19:46.480
So, patriotism has to do nothing&nbsp;
with the love for one’s motherland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:47.880,0:19:53.520
It simply deals with the loyalty to the&nbsp;
interests of those who control one’s motherland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:54.240,0:20:00.320
It is irrelevant how unjustified&nbsp;
or immoral those interests may be.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:01.560,0:20:05.320
It all depends on who is ruling&nbsp;
one’s motherland at present.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:06.480,0:20:09.880
The interests are not in favor of the motherland</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:09.880,0:20:14.120
but of those who are ruling&nbsp;
it at any given point in time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:15.520,0:20:21.160
Sedition means conduct or speech inciting&nbsp;
people to rebel against the authority</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:21.160,0:20:26.400
of a state or monarch.
A Political Conspiracy:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:27.840,0:20:34.280
Isn’t it simply because our political bosses have&nbsp;
an unwritten, secret conspiracy hatched between</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:34.280,0:20:41.240
themselves? A conspiracy that propagandizes&nbsp;
the love for one’s so-called motherland</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:41.240,0:20:49.080
as one of the most sacred forms of love on earth?
Doesn’t this fanatic love for one’s so-called</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:49.080,0:20:56.000
motherland automatically create a fertile ground&nbsp;
for hatred toward other lands and their peoples?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:57.440,0:21:02.400
Especially whenever they get conveniently&nbsp;
tagged as enemy lands by the respective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:02.400,0:21:07.800
political bosses of these chunks of land&nbsp;
as and when it suits their narrative?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:09.120,0:21:16.840
Rules Are Made by Rulers, Not by Ethics:
Patriotism and sedition are concepts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:16.840,0:21:23.560
that are defined and held up only by the rulers&nbsp;
of the land. They have their vested interests in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:23.560,0:21:30.880
people being patriots and never seditionists.
Patriotism can very easily and effectively</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:30.880,0:21:35.600
be exploited to sow the seeds of&nbsp;
hatred for the people of other lands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:37.080,0:21:43.320
It especially applies to the rulers of those&nbsp;
lands that are in conflict with the interests</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:43.320,0:21:50.840
of rulers of their own land. All these rules are&nbsp;
defined and decided by the rulers of the land.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:52.080,0:21:57.200
Why should an Israeli hate a Palestinian&nbsp;
or vice versa if the two countries are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:57.200,0:22:02.000
at war with each other?
But man, the concept of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:02.000,0:22:08.120
patriotism does make them do so!
Another Example from An Epic:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:09.400,0:22:15.280
In the Hindu epic Ramayana, the character of&nbsp;
Vibhishana has been portrayed as fleeing his</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:15.280,0:22:23.160
motherland. He requests Rama, a staunch enemy&nbsp;
at war with his country, to give him shelter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:23.800,0:22:28.600
He even reveals the most classified secrets&nbsp;
of his own country to Rama in return.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:29.920,0:22:35.800
But no one including the author ever criticizes&nbsp;
him for what he has been portrayed as doing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:36.920,0:22:44.440
Why? Isn’t his character, the way it is&nbsp;
portrayed, that of a seditionist or a traitor?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:45.880,0:22:52.760
Vibhishana’s character is not looked down upon&nbsp;
for what he did. It is simply because the epic was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:52.760,0:22:59.640
written by the author who sided with the character&nbsp;
of Rama, the eventual victor in the story!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:00.960,0:23:08.360
History is definitely written by the victors.&nbsp;
As it turns out, so also is mythology!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:09.720,0:23:14.480
Patriotism as a concept originated&nbsp;
not out of love for our land.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:15.080,0:23:22.360
It rather came out of our loyalty to the interests&nbsp;
of those who controlled our land, come what may.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:23.600,0:23:30.320
It happens through falling prey to the narratives&nbsp;
that are generated using ambiguous words and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:30.320,0:23:36.800
phrases acting as emotional slogans addressing&nbsp;
the fallible psyche of the common masses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:38.080,0:23:43.040
These narratives hold their superficial&nbsp;
interests high on a pedestal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:43.040,0:23:49.120
arising from the already unfortunate cognitive&nbsp;
assessment of their love and belonging needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:50.440,0:23:57.000
In the process, their mere currencies,&nbsp;
namely ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’, take over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:58.360,0:24:02.440
Another case of sociocultural&nbsp;
heart chakra getting closed!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 31st episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Love and Belonging Needs!</strong>” will tell you about corruption in marriage, organized sport, and nation state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The institutions of marriage, organized sport and nation state make up the sociocultural heart chakra that aims to fulfill the needs of love and belongingness in society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The currencies it uses are ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’. Identification and attachment turned more important than fulfilling the needs of compassionate love and belonging in society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Corrupted by the currencies of ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’, these needs gave rise to social institutions such as marriage, organized sport and nation state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today, the institution of marriage has come down to the verge of extinction, thanks to the ever-increasing rate of divorces.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sporting spirit took a big hit the moment it got redesigned on the lines of mini warfare, thereby corrupting its whole foundation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Loyalty and patriotism promoted love and belonging in society but in an extremely fragmented way, leading to nation states.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 id="wants-vs-needs-corruption-of-love-and-belonging-needs-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Love and Belonging Needs! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this compelling episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, I dive into the intricate web of corruption woven through the institutions of marriage, organized sport, and nation states.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Love and Belonging Needs!” this episode explores how these societal pillars, designed to fulfill our needs for love and belonging, have been compromised by the currencies of identity and loyalty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we unpack the socio-cultural heart chakra, we reveal how the essence of love has been distorted, leading to the disintegration of marriage and the transformation of sports into a battlefield of ego.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The episode highlights the increasing divorce rates that threaten family structures and the rise of nationalism that fosters division and hatred.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I investigate the implications of these corruptions on our relationships and societal cohesion, questioning what true love means in a world where identity and loyalty overshadow genuine connection.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through this exploration, I aim to shed light on the profound effects of a fragmented mind on our collective well-being.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I navigate the complexities of love, loyalty, and the societal constructs that shape our lives.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:01.120,0:00:05.880
Love is actually sensed through a flow&nbsp;
of energy in the body while interacting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:06.640,0:00:09.640
That is what makes one&nbsp;
spiritually healthy as well.</p>

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to&nbsp;
“Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:28.680,0:00:32.840
Skeletal Leap transforms one’s&nbsp;
life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.080,0:00:40.640
Today’s episode will tell you about corruption&nbsp;
in marriage, organized sport, and nation state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:41.920,0:00:48.960
The institutions of marriage, organized sport&nbsp;
and nation state make up the sociocultural heart</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:48.960,0:00:54.400
chakra that aims to fulfill the needs&nbsp;
of love and belongingness in society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:55.920,0:01:03.640
The currencies it uses are ‘identity’ and&nbsp;
‘loyalty’. Identification and attachment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:03.640,0:01:09.520
turned more important than fulfilling the needs&nbsp;
of compassionate love and belonging in society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:10.920,0:01:14.680
Corrupted by the currencies&nbsp;
of ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:14.680,0:01:22.200
these needs gave rise to social institutions such&nbsp;
as marriage, organized sport and nation state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:23.480,0:01:28.560
Today, the institution of marriage has&nbsp;
come down to the verge of extinction,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:28.560,0:01:35.840
thanks to the ever-increasing rate of divorces.
Sporting spirit took a big hit the moment it got</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:35.840,0:01:41.400
redesigned on the lines of mini warfare,&nbsp;
thereby corrupting its whole foundation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:42.560,0:01:50.240
Loyalty and patriotism promoted love and belonging&nbsp;
in society but in an extremely fragmented way,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:50.240,0:01:55.840
leading to nation states. It&nbsp;
also promoted the “othering”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:55.840,0:02:02.360
and hatred against the so-called enemy&nbsp;
societies. It never had a compassionate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:02.360,0:02:08.880
concern for the undivided humanity despite&nbsp;
the numerous slogans it raised along the way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:10.240,0:02:17.040
This gave rise to disparate ideologies that&nbsp;
often ended up in arms against one another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:18.520,0:02:23.800
That was what happened during the Cold&nbsp;
War that lasted almost half a century.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:25.240,0:02:31.480
Result – sociocultural heart chakra shut!
Marriage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:32.880,0:02:38.720
In the wake of the present human awareness, the&nbsp;
institution of marriage seems to be moving toward</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:38.720,0:02:47.560
disintegration. Divorces are at an all-time&nbsp;
high creating a traumatic hell for the children</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:47.560,0:02:52.200
whose lives are irreparably disrupted&nbsp;
as and when a marriage breaks down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:53.600,0:02:58.680
It is too late to go back to the old&nbsp;
community patternh1 of hunter-gatherers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:58.680,0:03:06.080
where fatherhood was inclusive. The reason is&nbsp;
that, today, a father can very easily know who</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:06.080,0:03:13.400
his offshoot is with a simple DNA test.&nbsp;
Even an offshoot can do it later in life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:14.080,0:03:19.160
All this can lead to many kinds of&nbsp;
complexities in relationship patterns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:20.560,0:03:25.800
Let’s investigate Maslow’s deficiency need&nbsp;
for love and belonging a little deeper.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:26.440,0:03:31.400
If we objectively look at it,&nbsp;
neither psychology nor literature</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.400,0:03:36.600
has yet been able to provide an authentic&nbsp;
definition of the phenomenon called love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:38.080,0:03:44.960
And the hard fact is that love occupies the most&nbsp;
central stage in the human psyche as a drive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:45.760,0:03:52.760
All our literature including poetry, drama,&nbsp;
cinema and fiction thrives on love the most.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:54.160,0:04:01.920
Even religion vouches by it. At times,&nbsp;
philosophers did try to define the phenomenon,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:01.920,0:04:09.960
but there has not been any consensus among them&nbsp;
yet. Humanity still understands love only in an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:09.960,0:04:16.880
intuitive sense. But this intuitive sense about&nbsp;
love is the strongest among all other mental</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:16.880,0:04:25.440
phenomena whether emotional, instinctual or moral.&nbsp;
I think majority of humanity would vouch for it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:26.080,0:04:32.240
And at least in the modern society, people marry&nbsp;
only when they have fallen in love with someone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:33.600,0:04:39.360
So, how do we define love? It certainly has&nbsp;
something to do with a sense of belonging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:40.080,0:04:44.120
But that does not take us any closer&nbsp;
to an objective definition of love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:45.000,0:04:50.600
At best, it simply acts as a synonym.
Is love an emotion?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:51.800,0:04:58.080
No. Love cannot be an emotion. Emotions&nbsp;
have their abode in mind alone,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:58.080,0:05:04.240
not in the mind-body system as an organic part&nbsp;
of it. Love is actually a mind-body state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:05.520,0:05:07.200
Is love a moral value?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:08.680,0:05:16.040
Not even that! Morals are all foreign concepts&nbsp;
nailed into mind alone while we grow up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:16.840,0:05:21.920
They, too, are not there in the mind-body&nbsp;
system as an organic part of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:23.240,0:05:24.800
Is love an instinct?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:26.040,0:05:33.000
Exactly! We are born with it in our body even&nbsp;
when our mind has not yet started developing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:33.560,0:05:40.760
The newborn immediately starts feeling a sense&nbsp;
of belonging to their mother. Later in life, we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:40.760,0:05:48.080
sense it via interacting with anyone or anything&nbsp;
through our senses. The deeper the interaction,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:48.080,0:05:55.120
the stronger is the sensation of love!
Thus love is a sensation. The more we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:55.120,0:06:02.040
have it through our interactions in-depth, the&nbsp;
more it makes us sensitive. The deeper we sense,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:02.040,0:06:09.080
the stronger we love. This deep sensitivity&nbsp;
enables us to feel the other inside out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:10.800,0:06:16.120
Why don’t we feel this sensation, then, while&nbsp;
interacting with others all day, everyday?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:17.520,0:06:21.640
Simply because we lose our sensitivity&nbsp;
considerably as we grow up in an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:21.640,0:06:28.240
unhealthy environment. Here comes the&nbsp;
debilitating role of the heart chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:28.240,0:06:34.680
sticking the chest ‘in’ instead of protruding&nbsp;
it ‘out’ via abducting shoulder joints</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:34.680,0:06:42.040
posturing them away from the torso as the first&nbsp;
nature of the body. They rather drop down via</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:42.040,0:06:50.760
adducting shoulder joints posturing them stuck to&nbsp;
the torso as an unhealthy habit. This unhealthy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:50.760,0:06:57.920
habit is responsible for closing heart chakra&nbsp;
as it generates a defensive muscular armor (by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:57.920,0:07:04.960
habitually keeping the muscles named pectoralis&nbsp;
major and pectoralis minor rigidly contracted)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:04.960,0:07:12.640
seriously limiting the openness of chest and&nbsp;
arms ready to embrace anyone and everyone around.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:13.960,0:07:20.960
It mentally results in keeping our ‘self’&nbsp;
protected from an imaginary threat of an attack on</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:20.960,0:07:31.360
it. On the other hand, the openness of chest and&nbsp;
arms ready to embrace anyone and everyone around</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:31.360,0:07:37.880
plays a key role in dissolving one’s ‘self’ with&nbsp;
an open heart chakra in combination with rest of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:37.880,0:07:45.440
the 6 chakras opened. This results in feeling the&nbsp;
sensation of love while interacting with others</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:45.440,0:07:54.720
through the day everyday. A healthy mind-body&nbsp;
system is an acutely sensitive system. The more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:54.720,0:08:02.080
it is sensitive physically as well as mentally,&nbsp;
the deeper it interacts and the more it loves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:03.520,0:08:09.296
Love is actually sensed through a flow of&nbsp;
energy in the body while interacting. That</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:09.296,0:08:16.160
is what makes one spiritually healthy as well.
And when a healthy mind-body system interacts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:16.160,0:08:23.320
in-depth with another mind-body system of&nbsp;
opposite gender in adulthood, the two interacting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:23.320,0:08:29.880
personalities not only sense love but may also&nbsp;
feel like making love between the two of them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:30.960,0:08:36.840
That is how two personalities may get&nbsp;
attracted to and fall in love with each other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:38.360,0:08:43.680
How do sociocultural systems for love and&nbsp;
belonging needs get affected when their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:43.680,0:08:50.760
currencies, namely ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’,&nbsp;
become more important than the real need itself?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:52.320,0:08:56.600
They close the sociocultural heart&nbsp;
chakra of our society en bulk.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:58.120,0:09:03.600
It is just like ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’&nbsp;
work in closing the biological heart chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.120,0:09:09.480
via keeping our ‘self’ protected from&nbsp;
an imaginary threat of an attack on it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:10.880,0:09:16.160
These two limiting currencies become the central&nbsp;
theme of the need for love and belonging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:17.640,0:09:22.920
Once it happens, these currencies&nbsp;
make boundaries around the ‘self’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:24.320,0:09:29.400
This keeps people isolated and&nbsp;
alienated from other people around them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:29.400,0:09:36.400
in the name of an imaginary safety and security&nbsp;
to keep their ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’ intact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:37.800,0:09:43.280
How much do we interact with our neighbors in the&nbsp;
modern apartment buildings we live in these days?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:44.760,0:09:49.320
And how readily do we unconditionally&nbsp;
interact with people across the boundaries</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.320,0:09:54.680
of our ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’, be&nbsp;
those the boundaries of nationality,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:54.680,0:10:03.640
religion, caste, class, faith, belief-system,&nbsp;
ideology, gender, possessive attachment,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:03.640,0:10:10.680
emotional attachment, moral attachment,&nbsp;
generation, and orthodox political affiliation?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:12.120,0:10:17.520
These are the tags of ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’&nbsp;
that keep us away from loving people through</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:17.520,0:10:25.280
unconditionally interacting with them in-depth.
True love never happens without deep interaction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:26.280,0:10:32.440
Also, love never happens without an acute&nbsp;
sensitivity to feel the other while interacting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:33.840,0:10:39.720
No doubt, then, that in the wake of the present&nbsp;
human awareness, the institution of marriage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:39.720,0:10:47.720
seems to be moving toward disintegration. Divorces&nbsp;
are at an all-time high creating a traumatic hell</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:47.720,0:10:54.400
for the children whose lives are irreparably&nbsp;
disrupted as and when a marriage breaks down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:55.920,0:10:58.440
How important is a father for a child?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:59.120,0:11:03.560
And how important is fatherhood for&nbsp;
a sensitive father in today’s life?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:05.240,0:11:11.000
If we look at it from this angle, traditional&nbsp;
marriage seems to be the best solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:11.840,0:11:18.680
Even a divorce has no place in it since it&nbsp;
traumatizes children’s life irreparably.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:20.200,0:11:23.640
But divorces cannot be stopped from taking place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:24.400,0:11:29.480
In fact, they are well on their way to&nbsp;
becoming the rule rather than exception.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:30.960,0:11:38.000
Even if divorces didn’t exist, marriages&nbsp;
turn from fond to dull relationships between</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:38.000,0:11:46.440
spouses within no time. When this happens, sex&nbsp;
turns from a romantic and passionate affair</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:46.440,0:11:53.680
into a mechanical rut sooner than later.
It is a catch-22 situation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:55.280,0:12:01.040
Organized Sport
Sports Vs Sportsman Spirit:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.440,0:12:08.480
Sports and sportsman spirit have come to be in&nbsp;
conflict with each other in today’s society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:09.360,0:12:15.000
It is simply owing to the way sports have been&nbsp;
designed and organized all over the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:16.360,0:12:17.960
Why do we play sport?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:19.600,0:12:24.720
I think a rational answer should be&nbsp;
‘to enjoy skilled physical activity’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:26.040,0:12:31.840
We enjoy the sporting skill that is required&nbsp;
in order to make strong and specific moves</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:31.840,0:12:39.600
demanded by any given sport. We also enjoy&nbsp;
corresponding moves by opponent players or teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:41.160,0:12:48.080
This makes it an awe-inspiring scene not only&nbsp;
for the players but for the spectators as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:49.440,0:12:50.760
Win Or Lose:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:52.480,0:12:57.760
It would be good enough if it were celebrated&nbsp;
like a festival to inspire awe in the players</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:57.760,0:13:07.200
and spectators. But their designers went a step&nbsp;
ahead and tagged the same moves and counter-moves</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:07.200,0:13:14.280
with victory and defeat. This introduced&nbsp;
the element of ego in their fabric.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:15.640,0:13:23.240
Who wants to get defeated? No one!
Who wants to win? Everyone!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:24.800,0:13:29.160
Thus, winning turned out to be&nbsp;
the prime motto of playing sport.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:30.560,0:13:37.800
The beauty of the skilled moves got pushed to the&nbsp;
margin. The result became more important than the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:37.800,0:13:42.920
enjoyment springing out of the aesthetic&nbsp;
of the awe-inspiring moves themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:44.360,0:13:50.600
We humans have a very crude habit of quantizing&nbsp;
quality which tends to kill its subtleness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:52.160,0:13:59.520
Being an instinct, love as a need for belonging&nbsp;
is always a subtle one. But when it gets</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:59.520,0:14:07.000
replaced with its currencies named ‘identity’ and&nbsp;
‘loyalty’, we start assessing it in these terms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:08.400,0:14:14.320
Our intention behind this is always to strengthen&nbsp;
our own limited ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:15.640,0:14:22.240
Assessment is only possible between quantities or&nbsp;
numbers that we start assigning to this quality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:23.640,0:14:29.320
No wonder, then, that we invent ways to&nbsp;
assign those quantities to the quality</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:29.320,0:14:35.680
displayed in a sporting event ending up&nbsp;
with victory for one and defeat for another.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:37.120,0:14:43.280
It is again a very clear case of our sociocultural&nbsp;
system of sport getting afflicted with a closed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:43.280,0:14:51.040
sociocultural heart chakra. Combined with the&nbsp;
rest of other closed sociocultural chakras,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:51.040,0:14:57.080
it ultimately ends up getting afflicted&nbsp;
with practices like match-fixing, betting,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:57.080,0:15:02.960
violence in sports and many more ills.
Brute Force to Win:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:04.480,0:15:07.120
Then brute force becomes the rule of the game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:08.600,0:15:13.000
Let’s ask the same question again…
Why do we play sport?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:14.440,0:15:18.040
This time the answer is going&nbsp;
to be ‘in order to win’!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:19.440,0:15:26.560
Where is the existence of sportsman spirit lost?
It is only left in the sloganeering aimed at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:26.560,0:15:30.840
glamorizing sports for the very&nbsp;
thing they are no longer about!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:32.160,0:15:35.200
Can you see how the motive&nbsp;
to play changed diametrically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:35.200,0:15:42.600
opposite to the spirit of the sports this time?
And this is what inspires us to play sports in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:42.600,0:15:50.560
the present day scenario to win them at any cost.
Sports have been designed on the model of war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:52.000,0:15:55.640
Nation State
Patriotism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:57.200,0:16:04.160
Patriotism is a highly revered value all over&nbsp;
the world. It means love for one’s motherland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:05.520,0:16:12.240
Ironically the word patriotism has originated&nbsp;
from the Greek word patēr, which means father.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:13.480,0:16:17.440
Yet, it has been used to&nbsp;
express the love for a land</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:17.440,0:16:21.440
that has been associated not&nbsp;
with father but with mother.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:22.920,0:16:29.040
Logically, it should have been ‘matriotism’ if&nbsp;
it was to express our love for our motherland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:30.440,0:16:35.240
It simply shows our male gender&nbsp;
bias. ‘Father’ crept in even in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:35.240,0:16:40.480
formulation of a word that is touted as the&nbsp;
embodiment of something related to ‘mother’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:41.840,0:16:46.800
But it is not simply a slip of gender that&nbsp;
crept into the naming of something wrong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:47.640,0:16:52.280
It is much more than that.
The Male-oriented Mindset:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:53.520,0:16:55.720
The two mindsets were different…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:57.080,0:17:00.560
The mindset that formulated&nbsp;
the concept of patriotism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:02.280,0:17:08.160
The mindset that perceived the land of one’s&nbsp;
birth as the land belonging to one’s mother.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:09.520,0:17:11.360
Our So-called Motherlands:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:12.800,0:17:17.000
Our political bosses condition&nbsp;
us to be adversarial in nature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.840,0:17:23.680
They make our soldiers kill and get killed&nbsp;
without knowing the real reasons why.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:24.960,0:17:28.800
They brainwash us into believing that&nbsp;
they are doing so to defend their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:28.800,0:17:32.720
motherland from ‘our’ enemies,&nbsp;
simply because they love it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:33.440,0:17:39.320
The same is expected from soldiers as far&nbsp;
as their emotional and moral obligations go.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:40.920,0:17:47.600
How do we define our motherland?
It may be the village I was born in or the city</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:48.240,0:17:56.200
or the district or the state or else the country!&nbsp;
Why can’t it be the planet we were born on?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:57.800,0:18:03.320
It all depends on how narrow or wide our&nbsp;
field of vision and extent of sensitivity are.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:04.760,0:18:10.040
Why are our sensitivities limited to a&nbsp;
political expanse of land and its people?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:11.240,0:18:17.000
Why not beyond it as well?
An Example from Nazi Germany:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:18.480,0:18:24.680
By that token, if a German spoke against&nbsp;
Hitler in the late 1930s or early 1940s,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:25.240,0:18:29.000
s/he would be tagged as a&nbsp;
traitor or a seditionist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:30.320,0:18:37.480
But there were many Germans who did exactly that.&nbsp;
Today, they are not at all tagged as traitors,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:37.480,0:18:43.280
only because Hitler lost the war. Had&nbsp;
Hitler come out victorious in World War</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:43.280,0:18:49.120
II (WWII), they would certainly have been&nbsp;
dragged out on the streets and hanged publicly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:50.400,0:18:56.880
Did these Germans not love their land then? Did&nbsp;
they not love their country while Hitler ruled?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:58.280,0:19:04.360
They certainly did! But they were simply not&nbsp;
patriots in the narrow sense of its meaning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:05.400,0:19:12.360
That aggressive patriotism would have asked for&nbsp;
their loyalty to any official stand their country</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:12.360,0:19:17.080
took against the world.
Power Rules The World:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:18.480,0:19:22.840
So were they villains?
As said earlier,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:22.840,0:19:28.520
they would certainly have been tagged as&nbsp;
villains if Hitler had been victorious in WWII.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:29.960,0:19:35.880
Were they traitors or seditionists?
Again, they would certainly have been</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:35.880,0:19:40.800
tagged as traitors and seditionists&nbsp;
if Hitler had been victorious.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:41.920,0:19:46.480
So, patriotism has to do nothing&nbsp;
with the love for one’s motherland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:47.880,0:19:53.520
It simply deals with the loyalty to the&nbsp;
interests of those who control one’s motherland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:54.240,0:20:00.320
It is irrelevant how unjustified&nbsp;
or immoral those interests may be.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:01.560,0:20:05.320
It all depends on who is ruling&nbsp;
one’s motherland at present.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:06.480,0:20:09.880
The interests are not in favor of the motherland</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:09.880,0:20:14.120
but of those who are ruling&nbsp;
it at any given point in time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:15.520,0:20:21.160
Sedition means conduct or speech inciting&nbsp;
people to rebel against the authority</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:21.160,0:20:26.400
of a state or monarch.
A Political Conspiracy:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:27.840,0:20:34.280
Isn’t it simply because our political bosses have&nbsp;
an unwritten, secret conspiracy hatched between</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:34.280,0:20:41.240
themselves? A conspiracy that propagandizes&nbsp;
the love for one’s so-called motherland</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:41.240,0:20:49.080
as one of the most sacred forms of love on earth?
Doesn’t this fanatic love for one’s so-called</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:49.080,0:20:56.000
motherland automatically create a fertile ground&nbsp;
for hatred toward other lands and their peoples?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:57.440,0:21:02.400
Especially whenever they get conveniently&nbsp;
tagged as enemy lands by the respective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:02.400,0:21:07.800
political bosses of these chunks of land&nbsp;
as and when it suits their narrative?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:09.120,0:21:16.840
Rules Are Made by Rulers, Not by Ethics:
Patriotism and sedition are concepts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:16.840,0:21:23.560
that are defined and held up only by the rulers&nbsp;
of the land. They have their vested interests in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:23.560,0:21:30.880
people being patriots and never seditionists.
Patriotism can very easily and effectively</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:30.880,0:21:35.600
be exploited to sow the seeds of&nbsp;
hatred for the people of other lands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:37.080,0:21:43.320
It especially applies to the rulers of those&nbsp;
lands that are in conflict with the interests</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:43.320,0:21:50.840
of rulers of their own land. All these rules are&nbsp;
defined and decided by the rulers of the land.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:52.080,0:21:57.200
Why should an Israeli hate a Palestinian&nbsp;
or vice versa if the two countries are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:57.200,0:22:02.000
at war with each other?
But man, the concept of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:02.000,0:22:08.120
patriotism does make them do so!
Another Example from An Epic:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:09.400,0:22:15.280
In the Hindu epic Ramayana, the character of&nbsp;
Vibhishana has been portrayed as fleeing his</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:15.280,0:22:23.160
motherland. He requests Rama, a staunch enemy&nbsp;
at war with his country, to give him shelter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:23.800,0:22:28.600
He even reveals the most classified secrets&nbsp;
of his own country to Rama in return.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:29.920,0:22:35.800
But no one including the author ever criticizes&nbsp;
him for what he has been portrayed as doing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:36.920,0:22:44.440
Why? Isn’t his character, the way it is&nbsp;
portrayed, that of a seditionist or a traitor?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:45.880,0:22:52.760
Vibhishana’s character is not looked down upon&nbsp;
for what he did. It is simply because the epic was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:52.760,0:22:59.640
written by the author who sided with the character&nbsp;
of Rama, the eventual victor in the story!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:00.960,0:23:08.360
History is definitely written by the victors.&nbsp;
As it turns out, so also is mythology!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:09.720,0:23:14.480
Patriotism as a concept originated&nbsp;
not out of love for our land.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:15.080,0:23:22.360
It rather came out of our loyalty to the interests&nbsp;
of those who controlled our land, come what may.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:23.600,0:23:30.320
It happens through falling prey to the narratives&nbsp;
that are generated using ambiguous words and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:30.320,0:23:36.800
phrases acting as emotional slogans addressing&nbsp;
the fallible psyche of the common masses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:38.080,0:23:43.040
These narratives hold their superficial&nbsp;
interests high on a pedestal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:43.040,0:23:49.120
arising from the already unfortunate cognitive&nbsp;
assessment of their love and belonging needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:50.440,0:23:57.000
In the process, their mere currencies,&nbsp;
namely ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’, take over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:58.360,0:24:02.440
Another case of sociocultural&nbsp;
heart chakra getting closed!</p>

of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>

Welcome back to the 31st episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



Today’s episode titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Love and Belonging Needs!” will tell you about corruption in marriage, organized sport, and nation state.



The institutions of marriage, organized sport and nation state make up the sociocultural heart chakra that aims to fulfill the needs of love and belongingness in society.



The currencies it uses are ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’. Identification and attachment turned more important than fulfilling the needs of compassionate love and belonging in society.



Corrupted by the currencies of ‘identity’ and ‘loyalty’, these needs gave rise to social institutions such as marriage, organized sport and nation state.



Today, the institution of marriage has come down to the verge of extinction, thanks to the ever-increasing rate of divorces.



Sporting spirit took a big hit the moment it got redesigned on the lines of mini warfare, thereby corrupting its whole foundation.



Loyalty and patriotism promoted love and belonging in society but in an extremely fragmented way, leading to nation states.



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







Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Love and Belonging Needs! - Show Notes





In this compelling episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, I dive into the intricate web of corruption woven through the institutions of marriage, organized sport, and nation states.&nbsp;



Titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Love and Belonging Needs!” this episode explores how these societal pillars, designed to fulfill our needs for love and belonging, have been compromised by the currencies of identity and loyalty.



As we unpack the socio-cultural heart chakra, we reveal how the essence of love has been distorted, leading to the disintegration of marriage and the transformation of sports into a battlefield of ego.&nbsp;



The episode highlights the increasing divorce rates that threaten family structures and the rise of nationalism that fosters division and hatred.



I investigate the implications of these corruptions on our relationships and societal cohesion, questioning what true love means in a world where identity and loyalty overshadow genuine connection.&nbsp;



Through this exploration, I aim to shed light on the profound effects of a fragmented mind on our collective well-being.



Join me as I navigate the complexities of love, loyalty, and the societal constructs that shape our lives.&nbsp;

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 30th episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Aesthetic, Physiological and Safety Needs!</strong>” will tell you about corruption in industrial complex, big pharma &amp; insurance, military-industrial complex and politics-business nexus.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">The first casualty, as was the case with our biology, was the sociocultural root chakra.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">As it stands today, closed sociocultural chakras have blocked the human energy right at the lowest level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, namely physiological and safety needs.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Aesthetic, Physiological and Safety Needs!”, I explore the intricate relationships between socio-cultural institutions and the pervasive corruption that has taken root within them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I guide you through a thought experiment inspired by Dr. Albert Einstein, challenging listeners to reflect on the distinctions between needs and wants.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how societal wants have increasingly overshadowed genuine needs, leading to a fragmented understanding of our physiological and safety requirements.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode explores the historical evolution of socio-cultural structures, tracing the origins of corruption from the industrial complex to the military-industrial nexus and the intertwining of politics and business.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learn how the quest for personal ownership and wealth has distorted our priorities, transforming essential needs into mere commodities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I discuss the implications of this corruption on our health and well-being, I emphasize the importance of returning to a state of balance and understanding.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I posit that a collective emptying of the mind is necessary to restore genuine health and foster spontaneous decision-making aligned with our true needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This thought-provoking episode invites you to consider how the socio-cultural root chakra has been compromised and what steps can be taken to reclaim our health and humanity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can we learn to prioritize genuine needs over corrupted wants?&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:00.960,0:00:08.000
Let us do a thought experiment (one of the most&nbsp;
favorite tools of one Dr. Albert Einstein).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:08.000,0:00:26.160
Think of yourself as an idealist for a moment.
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:26.160,0:00:33.920
A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:33.920,0:00:41.120
Today’s episode will tell you about corruption&nbsp;
in industrial complex, big pharma &amp; insurance,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:41.120,0:00:47.120
military-industrial complex&nbsp;
and politics-business nexus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:47.120,0:00:55.120
The first casualty, as was the case with our&nbsp;
biology, was the sociocultural root chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:55.120,0:01:01.760
As it stands today, closed sociocultural&nbsp;
chakras have blocked the human energy right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:01.760,0:01:10.160
at the lowest level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of&nbsp;
Needs, namely physiological and safety needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:10.160,0:01:17.360
As explained above, the root of the problem lies&nbsp;
in faulty cognition of reality whereby societal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:17.360,0:01:24.800
wants function as proxies for social needs.
Personal ownership of resources became more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:24.800,0:01:33.280
important than the physiological or aesthetic&nbsp;
needs it fulfilled. Thus, money, as a means to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:33.280,0:01:38.960
personal ownership of resources, became a&nbsp;
currency for the exchange of the goods and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:38.960,0:01:46.960
services that fulfilled these needs. Sociocultural&nbsp;
institutions belonging to the sociocultural root</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:46.960,0:01:54.560
chakra include the most sought after core of&nbsp;
society at present. Physiological needs comprise</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:54.560,0:02:01.600
the biological component of human survival&nbsp;
guaranteeing homeostasis to the human body.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:02.320,0:02:08.320
These are provided by the social systems&nbsp;
such as industrial complexes for jobs and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:08.320,0:02:13.760
financial complexes to enable and manage&nbsp;
transactions using ‘personal ownership’</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:13.760,0:02:20.320
of resources as its main currency.
However, this currency turned into a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:20.320,0:02:25.360
source of widespread corruption.
Pursuit of Genuine Physiological</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:25.360,0:02:34.800
Needs Instead of Its Corrupted Currency,&nbsp;
Personal Ownership of Resources (Money)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.800,0:02:42.080
Let us do a thought experiment (one of the most&nbsp;
favorite tools of one Dr. Albert Einstein). Think</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:42.080,0:02:48.160
of yourself as an idealist for a moment.
What if you tell me that I will get</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:48.160,0:02:55.520
whatever I need whenever I need&nbsp;
as much I need unconditionally?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:55.520,0:03:02.480
Imagine what would my reaction be.
If I am fearful, controlled by my mind, I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:02.480,0:03:10.720
could easily turn greedy. I may say, “Just change&nbsp;
the word need with the word want and I am okay.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:11.440,0:03:18.640
Needs are physical phenomena whereas wants&nbsp;
are psychological in their basic etymology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:18.640,0:03:24.160
What decides what I need and&nbsp;
what decides what I want?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:24.160,0:03:30.560
Aren’t these two entities the calls given&nbsp;
by the brain and the mind respectively?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:30.560,0:03:35.600
Back to the thought experiment…had&nbsp;
I not been corrupted by my mind,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:35.600,0:03:41.840
I would have been the happiest man on earth to&nbsp;
have been offered this proposal by you! I would</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:41.840,0:03:48.800
have immediately accepted your proposal&nbsp;
and asked you what I need to do for that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:48.800,0:03:55.600
However, let’s continue with the version&nbsp;
of me that IS being driven by fear.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:55.600,0:04:02.080
You say, “Throw the yoke of all your possessions&nbsp;
off your shoulders and just be a free man.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:02.800,0:04:07.680
I may not believe you for a&nbsp;
moment and retort, “Why? Do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:07.680,0:04:11.840
YOU want to take away all my possessions?”
“I don’t need to…,” you smile. “I don’t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:11.840,0:04:21.680
need to want,” you repeat.
“Won’t you like ruling the world? Don’t you want</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:21.680,0:04:31.440
that?” I sound stupid to my own self as I ask.
“Why would I?” you give a carefree look,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:31.440,0:04:38.640
“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown!”
“But what would I do if I get what I need without</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:38.640,0:04:46.160
doing anything for getting it?” I am intrigued.
“Decide it for yourself if you really feel like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:46.160,0:04:54.240
doing something,” you are still smiling.
“It would turn me crazy,” I retort.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:54.240,0:05:00.160
“That you already are,” you show me&nbsp;
the mirror, “A slave to your mind!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:00.160,0:05:06.640
“By the same token, aren’t you a&nbsp;
slave to your brain too?” I challenge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:06.640,0:05:14.160
“My brain is my friend. Your mind is your boss. It&nbsp;
keeps you scared with a threat of starving in case</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:14.160,0:05:23.520
you don’t earn the right to live,” you sound cool.
“And your brain?” I ask again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:23.520,0:05:30.720
“It doesn’t think of future. It lets me do&nbsp;
what I feel like doing right now,” you reveal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:30.720,0:05:38.400
“YOU do what you feel like doing. What&nbsp;
would I do, I don’t know,” I nervously say.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:38.400,0:05:44.320
“Enable me to enable my guarantee that&nbsp;
I just gave you!” you start laughing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.320,0:05:48.720
I get taken aback for a moment.&nbsp;
Then I start laughing along.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:50.160,0:05:55.200
That ends our thought experiment.&nbsp;
It tells us idealism is not as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:55.200,0:06:01.840
impossible as it is presented to be.
The entire question swings between two different</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:01.840,0:06:09.440
approaches to life, ‘to have’ or ‘to be’.
Do we have a gene within us that would</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:09.440,0:06:15.840
answer this question? If it says the&nbsp;
fittest survives, doesn’t our thought</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:15.840,0:06:23.680
experiment hint toward that possibility even&nbsp;
when threatened by human-induced climate change?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:23.680,0:06:28.400
Cavemen never felt they ever&nbsp;
required any private property.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:28.400,0:06:33.520
If it were in our genes, we would&nbsp;
have started going along that track</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:33.520,0:06:40.480
right then and there. If we did it later,&nbsp;
something new must have conspired to do so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:41.440,0:06:48.720
I hypothesize, it was simply our mind&nbsp;
gone greedy, trying to save itself from</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:48.720,0:06:53.440
starving to death in future.
We had evolved to grow our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:53.440,0:06:58.160
own food on the fertile land.
But we hadn’t evolved to own</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:58.160,0:07:05.360
the land primarily and go on expanding its&nbsp;
perimeter to the last days of our lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:05.360,0:07:11.120
Doing so through putting the yoke of all its&nbsp;
stressful burdens on our shoulders took its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:11.120,0:07:17.200
toll on our health. No other species&nbsp;
in the entire animal world ever does</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:17.200,0:07:25.840
that. And if we got a brain, did we get&nbsp;
it for wasting it on such petty concerns?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:25.840,0:07:32.000
We certainly went wrong somewhere when we&nbsp;
shifted from hunting-gathering to agriculture</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:32.000,0:07:39.120
and personal ownership of resources. We&nbsp;
thought it would give us freedom but what</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:39.120,0:07:47.120
it gave us was slavery and disease alone. The&nbsp;
more personal resource ownership we amassed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:47.120,0:07:54.240
the more it impoverished us in other ways.
Have we ever thought how much energy we waste</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:54.240,0:08:01.280
just in the petty pursuit of staying alive and&nbsp;
comfortable? In fact, to secure our comfortable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.280,0:08:08.160
living in the future, we ‘want’ to amass resources&nbsp;
that are many times more than we would ever really</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:08.160,0:08:15.040
need. Doesn’t this amount to stealing from&nbsp;
others who could have used those resources</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:15.040,0:08:23.600
to live a comfortable life? But unluckily 80% of&nbsp;
the human wealth lies under the control of 20%</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:23.600,0:08:32.560
of the human population. The rest 80% live&nbsp;
a life of have nots. And majority of these</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:32.560,0:08:41.280
20% people has acquired the 80% of the human&nbsp;
wealth through unethical if not illegal means.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:41.280,0:08:46.880
Here are two quotes of this Pareto’s&nbsp;
principle of 20-80 distribution…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:46.880,0:08:52.800
Pareto’s observation was in connection with&nbsp;
population and wealth. Pareto noticed that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:52.800,0:09:00.640
approximately 80% of Italy’s land was owned by 20%&nbsp;
of the population.&nbsp;He then carried out surveys on</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:00.640,0:09:08.240
a variety of other countries and found to his&nbsp;
surprise that a similar distribution applied.</p>

A chart that gave the effect a very visible&nbsp;
and comprehensible form,&nbsp;the so-called</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:17.520,0:09:24.640
“champagne glass” effect,&nbsp;was contained in the&nbsp;
1992&nbsp;United Nations Development Program&nbsp;Report,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:25.920,0:09:31.120
which showed that distribution&nbsp;
of global income is very uneven,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:31.120,0:09:39.520
with the richest 20% of the world’s population&nbsp;
receiving 82.7% of the world’s income.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:43.680,0:09:49.120
If we don’t have sufficient ownership of&nbsp;
resources in order to live a comfortable life,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.120,0:09:56.640
we will keep dreaming of it all the time. If we&nbsp;
have way more resources than needed, it keeps us</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:56.640,0:10:05.440
too busy not to lose them and, therefore, to&nbsp;
grow them further. Why? It is because nothing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:05.440,0:10:13.200
is sufficient for human greed which is driven&nbsp;
by the human fear of losing everything one has.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:13.200,0:10:21.360
In both cases, we are not living a life full of&nbsp;
freedom. We are doomed to remain&nbsp;slaves to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:21.360,0:10:29.440
same wicked design that we ourselves created as&nbsp;
our sociocultural structure. It not only robs us</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:29.440,0:10:36.480
personally of our joy of living a free life but&nbsp;
also socially of the countless geniuses hidden</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:36.480,0:10:44.480
in broad daylight amidst us. This is because&nbsp;
they never become free to exhibit their talents</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:44.480,0:10:52.400
while they are busy dreaming of and toiling for&nbsp;
the ownership of a bigger chunk of resources.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:52.400,0:10:59.360
Slaves never enjoy. They don’t enjoy because&nbsp;
they are not free. Slave holders never enjoy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:59.360,0:11:05.520
either. They don’t enjoy because they are&nbsp;
busy keeping slaves as slaves forever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:05.520,0:11:13.680
Hence their slaves don’t let them be free.
They become the slaves of their slaves. I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:13.680,0:11:18.080
still remember a couplet that I&nbsp;
had read in my early childhood:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:18.080,0:11:26.320
Leave your birthplace, And roam around the world;&nbsp;
Refusing either to be a slave, Or a slave holder</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:26.320,0:11:34.720
I wouldn’t be surprised if you are asking as you&nbsp;
read this, “Who decides what is comfortable?”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:34.720,0:11:41.920
Well, it is my contention that ‘Skeletally Leapt”&nbsp;
humans, operating primarily from their brains,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:41.920,0:11:48.800
would answer that question organically and would&nbsp;
arrive at similar, if not the same, answers as a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:48.800,0:11:55.200
society. Therefore, we don’t really need to take&nbsp;
any direct corrective action in order to resolve</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:55.200,0:12:03.520
this dilemma. We just need to empty our mind via&nbsp;
Skeletal Leap to regain our health. And leave it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:03.520,0:12:10.400
to our brain to take the right spontaneous&nbsp;
decisions. What constitutes a comfortable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:10.400,0:12:17.200
life would be as obvious to them the same way that&nbsp;
existence of matter is self-evident to science and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:17.200,0:12:26.640
that of life is self-evident to each one of us.
Sociocultural Root Chakra: Industrial Complex</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:26.640,0:12:32.640
The first 6000 yearsh1 after the transition&nbsp;
from the mode of hunting-gathering to that of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:32.640,0:12:38.640
agriculture and cattle-rearing resulted&nbsp;
in two strong social institutions:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:38.640,0:12:46.160
business and the state. Business was in the&nbsp;
rudimentary form of loosely organized crafts,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:46.160,0:12:53.600
trades and services while the state gradually&nbsp;
evolved into aggressive empires that constantly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:53.600,0:13:01.920
fought with one another and extended their control&nbsp;
over further chunks of lands and populations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:01.920,0:13:08.640
Everything remained in flux for a very long&nbsp;
period of around the next 6,000 years. Empires</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:08.640,0:13:16.800
kept changing hands by new power centers forcing&nbsp;
businesses to keep changing their currencies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:16.800,0:13:22.720
Much later, after the Industrial Revolution in&nbsp;
Europe took place in the eighteenth century,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:22.720,0:13:28.880
businesses were able to revolutionize their&nbsp;
speed of production. Their sizes started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:28.880,0:13:33.440
getting bigger and bigger needing&nbsp;
bigger markets for their products</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:33.440,0:13:40.560
and more raw materials for their production.
This started an era of certain European nations</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:40.560,0:13:48.560
colonizing far-flung countries in Asia, Africa&nbsp;
and South America mainly for the resources that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:48.560,0:13:55.680
lay untapped therein. The ones that missed&nbsp;
the bus then tried to compensate later by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:55.680,0:14:02.560
waging the two World Wars that they eventually&nbsp;
lost. Still, these two wars left the imperial</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:02.560,0:14:09.680
powers’ control on their colonies severely&nbsp;
depleted. They were forced to move out,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:09.680,0:14:16.320
limiting them back to their own homelands.
Since the world came out of the trend of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:16.320,0:14:22.080
nations attacking others to extend their&nbsp;
boundaries and control, political control</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:22.080,0:14:28.640
has given way to business control all over the&nbsp;
world. The power of big business has assumed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:28.640,0:14:36.320
the size of financial empires, bestowing them&nbsp;
with real powers to manipulate governments.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:36.320,0:14:42.560
Business morphed into a profit generating machine&nbsp;
more than a responsible facilitator of comforts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:42.560,0:14:50.720
and innovations. Politics-business nexus began&nbsp;
centralizing unprecedented powers to control</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:50.720,0:14:59.840
almost every single aspect of people’s lives.
As of today, business as an entity has started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:59.840,0:15:05.360
controlling every single&nbsp;
aspect of our life on earth.</p>

Sociocultural Root Chakra: Politics-Business Nexus
Power got concentrated in the hands of the cunning</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:14.080,0:15:21.040
and the corrupt. And they took extra care to&nbsp;
ensure that it never slipped off their hands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:21.920,0:15:27.840
All the instruments of the state that existed&nbsp;
in the name of serving the masses actually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:27.840,0:15:34.480
started being co-opted by secret agenda.&nbsp;
These agenda took care that the cunning</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:34.480,0:15:41.440
and the corrupt were able to maintain their&nbsp;
control over people’s lives and prosperity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:41.440,0:15:45.440
Countries were never a part of&nbsp;
the package that we received as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:45.440,0:15:53.120
we evolved into a thinking species on earth.
What was offered to us was an unnamed vast</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:53.120,0:16:00.000
expanse of land to live and move around on.
This nexus between the state and the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:00.000,0:16:08.400
business threatens the very welfare of humanity.
Business, as an entity, has grown so powerful that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:08.400,0:16:15.280
it can even make or break political structures&nbsp;
anywhere. Both of them have their respective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:15.280,0:16:21.920
vested interests which generally don’t align&nbsp;
with the genuine interests of the very populace</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:21.920,0:16:27.840
that they each claim to ‘serve’.
Human-induced climate change is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:27.840,0:16:36.400
a direct outcome of this misalignment.
During the COP26, the yearly UN climate summit</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:36.400,0:16:44.800
held in Glasgow in 2021, the well-known climate&nbsp;
activist Greta Thunberg protested in Glasgow,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:44.800,0:16:52.080
saying COP26 wasn’t leading us anywhere. Only&nbsp;
pledges and commitments aren’t going to stop</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:52.080,0:17:01.040
temperature from rising beyond 1.5C. We do need to&nbsp;
implement them under a strict regimen holding all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:01.040,0:17:09.040
parties accountable to their commitments.
COP27 was held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:09.040,0:17:17.760
from 6 November until 20 November 2022. Its&nbsp;
credibility was dealt a serious blow by the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.760,0:17:26.880
absence of big powers, Russia and China.
COP28, held from 30 November to 13 December</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:26.880,0:17:34.880
2023 at&nbsp;Expo City,&nbsp;Dubai,&nbsp;United Arab&nbsp;
Emirates received widespread criticism</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:34.880,0:17:44.000
as it lacked a clear-cut time-based commitment&nbsp;
to either fossil fuel phase-out or phase-down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:44.000,0:17:51.200
China and India did not even sign the pledge to&nbsp;
triple their output of renewable energy by the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:51.200,0:18:01.280
year 2030 and committed to coal power instead.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:01.280,0:18:11.440
2024 in Baku, Ajerbaijan couldn’t break any new&nbsp;
ground too, limiting itself to lip service alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:11.440,0:18:17.920
Who will ensure that the targets of these&nbsp;
summits are met before it is too late?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:17.920,0:18:23.200
Unluckily, here again, the national&nbsp;
ambitions of the politics-business</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:23.200,0:18:30.320
nexus are coming in the way of its success.&nbsp;
The point of no return is very close and,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:30.320,0:18:36.560
when it arrives, it will be no less than Nero&nbsp;
playing the fiddle while Rome was burning!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:37.280,0:18:43.120
This, though, is only half the story&nbsp;
of the sociocultural root chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:43.120,0:18:47.920
The other half of the sociocultural root&nbsp;
chakra got closed by the corruption of our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:47.920,0:18:54.880
safety needs through the ‘currency’ we know&nbsp;
as ‘public welfare’. Safety needs comprise</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:54.880,0:19:00.960
healthcare along with security. These&nbsp;
are provided by healthcare facilities,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:00.960,0:19:11.120
judiciary for providing justice, army and warfare&nbsp;
for defense and governments for making policies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:11.120,0:19:18.000
Sociocultural Root Chakra:&nbsp;
Big Pharma &amp; Health Insurance</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:18.000,0:19:25.280
Healthcare has, of course, helped the masses in&nbsp;
a great way but only to manage ailing conditions,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:25.280,0:19:34.080
not curing them permanently. It definitely did its&nbsp;
bit in surgical interventions excellently but then</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:34.080,0:19:42.080
fell short of energizing society cyclically.&nbsp;
As far as judicial systems are concerned,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:42.080,0:19:47.680
they do their job only up to the point&nbsp;
where the political system at the helm</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:47.680,0:19:54.800
of power doesn’t get challenged. After&nbsp;
that point is reached, politics-judiciary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:54.800,0:20:00.960
nexus immediately gets created by those in&nbsp;
political power at the moment in a covert</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:00.960,0:20:07.760
dictatorial way. We have seen it happening in&nbsp;
more than one countries in the recent past.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:08.720,0:20:14.320
Similarly, public welfare got diminished by&nbsp;
sloganeering that takes center stage rather than</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:14.320,0:20:22.320
fulfilling safety needs in reality.&nbsp;Armies have&nbsp;
always remained an instrument of offense rather</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:22.320,0:20:31.520
than genuine defense for safety. Warfare has&nbsp;
been a way of life along the passage of history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:31.520,0:20:36.960
What essentially is it that makes us prone&nbsp;
to falling in the trap of an unhealthy life?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:37.760,0:20:44.800
An Unhealthy Fragmented Mind:
As already described in Episode 26 in detail,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:44.800,0:20:51.840
a fragmented mind is an unhealthy mind.
Okay, but what exactly do we mean by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:51.840,0:20:56.480
the fragmentation of mind?
Well, fragmentation simply</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:56.480,0:21:02.800
means divided in two or more parts rather&nbsp;
than being one single entity as a whole.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:03.440,0:21:10.960
When it comes to an undivided mind, it means a&nbsp;
mind focused at one single thing at one given</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:10.960,0:21:20.560
time. It happens when the mind is emptied of all&nbsp;
its motivations and left alone with its passion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:20.560,0:21:27.200
From Interest to Involvement to Focus:
When the mind is focused at one single thing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:27.200,0:21:36.480
like this, it works at its best. All its energies&nbsp;
get aligned, producing a laser-like effect in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:36.480,0:21:43.040
order to deal with the concern in question.
Such focus comes with absolute involvement in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:43.040,0:21:48.960
the process that the mind is busy with.
But generally, the mind lacks that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:48.960,0:21:54.560
level of involvement in almost&nbsp;
anything it lays its hands on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:54.560,0:21:59.680
Why?
Simply because it is not REALLY interested in it!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:00.400,0:22:05.760
It is interested in what it&nbsp;
is going to get out of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:05.760,0:22:14.480
Herein lies the biggest lacuna of&nbsp;human health,&nbsp;
i.e., the way humanity lives an unhealthy life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:14.480,0:22:21.040
Passion Vs Motivation:
We do an action not because that action</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:21.040,0:22:28.160
is our passion. We rather do it based on the&nbsp;
motivation for what it is going to reward us with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.880,0:22:36.720
We act out of motivation, not out of passion.
If motivation is the driving force behind our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:36.720,0:22:42.960
mental action, it has already fragmented&nbsp;
our mind. Mind is doing one thing in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:42.960,0:22:49.600
present and thinking about another in&nbsp;
the future or the past, for that matter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:49.600,0:22:56.400
It is not really involved in the action, simply&nbsp;
because it is not really interested in the action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:57.120,0:23:02.160
Motivation Is A Mirage:
It is interested in something other than</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:02.160,0:23:08.640
acting in the present. It is rather the action of&nbsp;
dreaming about the future when it hopefully will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:08.640,0:23:14.560
have rewarded us with its outcome.
Motivation and passion don’t ever</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:14.560,0:23:20.880
go hand in hand with each other.
Motivation comes from outside. It is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:20.880,0:23:25.520
needed only when we are not passionate&nbsp;
about what we are doing from within.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:26.320,0:23:32.720
In that sense, we can think of punishment&nbsp;
as its opposite. If we are not passionate,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:32.720,0:23:39.600
we are shown a carrot to do a thing to the&nbsp;
best of our efficiency. If that fails, a rod</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:39.600,0:23:47.120
as punishment is the next option that is applied.
If we are passionate from within, we neither need</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:47.120,0:23:56.160
a carrot as motivation nor a rod as punishment.
The greed for a carrot or the fear of a rod can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:56.160,0:24:03.040
only make cosmetic enhancements in efficiency.&nbsp;
Neither can ever match the efficiency that comes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:03.040,0:24:08.720
from passion for the action at hand. This&nbsp;
is simply because the reward-punishment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:08.720,0:24:15.120
approach doesn’t enjoy the process, it&nbsp;
is rather preoccupied with outcome alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:15.840,0:24:20.320
But humanity performs almost all&nbsp;
its actions out of motivation for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:20.320,0:24:29.760
the outcome, not out of passion for the action.
The results are always much less than optimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:29.760,0:24:36.800
It further fragments our mind, looking for an&nbsp;
even stronger motivation the next time. Our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:36.800,0:24:44.080
petty vision keeps us limited but still satisfied&nbsp;
in just doing the job a little better each time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:44.080,0:24:49.040
But it is never going to happen!
We may come up with various acceptable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:49.040,0:24:54.880
outcomes that our society has become&nbsp;
accustomed to. But we will never be able</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:54.880,0:25:03.280
to come up with an optimally excellent outcome&nbsp;
generating an exhilarating experience in life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:03.280,0:25:07.680
Mind Affecting Body:
This was all about the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:07.680,0:25:14.000
dynamics of an unhealthy mind in action.
What about its effects on the body?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:14.000,0:25:19.520
The body is responsible for healthy&nbsp;
physiological processes, after all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:19.520,0:25:25.600
Well, it turns out that an unhealthy&nbsp;
mind makes the body unhealthy too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:25.600,0:25:28.800
When two opposite driving&nbsp;
forces pull the mind in two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:28.800,0:25:36.960
opposite directions, the body mirrors the same.
This results largely due to the nerves carrying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:36.960,0:25:43.040
two or more opposing signals from the brain.&nbsp;
These conflicting signals confound the muscles</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:43.040,0:25:50.000
to move in two or more opposite directions.
In such a situation, it becomes physically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:50.000,0:25:55.360
impossible for the muscles to follow&nbsp;
such opposing signals from the brain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:55.360,0:26:01.200
Fragmentation Generates Stress:
An unhealthy fragmented mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:01.200,0:26:05.840
makes the brain go haywire.
When the muscles are not able</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:05.840,0:26:10.880
to follow the conflicting signals&nbsp;
from the brain, what do they do?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:10.880,0:26:16.400
They just get set in a state of&nbsp;
limbo, which turns them rigid.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:16.400,0:26:20.800
Rigidified involuntary muscles&nbsp;
inside the body as well as the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:20.800,0:26:28.480
voluntary ones outside it turn the body rigid.
This rigidity manifests itself in the body’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:28.480,0:26:35.120
internal physiological processes&nbsp;
as well as its external actions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:35.120,0:26:41.520
This is how mental stress, which is nothing but&nbsp;
a state of fragmented mind, turns into physical</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:41.520,0:26:49.120
stress. It debilitates the body and renders&nbsp;
it prone to all kinds of lifestyle diseases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:49.120,0:26:53.040
Holistic Healing Vs Modern&nbsp;
Pharmaceutical Medicine:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:53.760,0:27:00.640
Holistic healing is a philosophical approach to&nbsp;
healing. It stands 180o opposite to the approach</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:00.640,0:27:08.320
of modern pharmaceutical medicine. This is as&nbsp;
far as taking care of&nbsp;human health&nbsp;is concerned.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:08.320,0:27:13.520
Pharmaceutical medicine, also known as&nbsp;
‘Big Pharma’, is a big business with its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:13.520,0:27:20.880
size being over&nbsp;one trillion U.S. dollars&nbsp;per&nbsp;
year. It is very natural that business will do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:20.880,0:27:28.080
its best never to let its grip loosen on such&nbsp;
a large market. Especially when an alternative</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:28.080,0:27:33.600
approach such as holistic healing starts&nbsp;
growing roots in the mindset of the masses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:34.240,0:27:39.840
I would like to point out here that it is not&nbsp;
a mere coincidence that, whenever a social</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:39.840,0:27:46.560
institution such as pharmaceutical medicine&nbsp;
attempts to fulfill a real safety need (health,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:46.560,0:27:53.920
in this case), the already corrupted institution&nbsp;
of business takes over. It is much the same way</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:53.920,0:27:59.760
that an individual human body in which the root&nbsp;
chakra is closed is prone to the higher chakras</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:59.760,0:28:07.760
getting closed as well. No wonder then, that we&nbsp;
are dealing with “too big to fail” monsters such</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:07.760,0:28:16.240
as politics-business nexus, politics-judiciary&nbsp;
nexus, ‘big pharma’ and many other harmful nexuses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:16.240,0:28:22.720
that we will talk further about.
Scientific Validity:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:22.720,0:28:28.320
The way big business thwarts an alternative&nbsp;
approach to healing is by challenging its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:28.320,0:28:35.360
scientific validity. Its main assertion is&nbsp;
that any such procedures need to undergo</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:35.360,0:28:42.400
strict laboratory testing. Health authorities&nbsp;
always look for convincing statistical data to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:42.400,0:28:48.480
establish the efficacy of any new&nbsp;
approach to address human health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:48.480,0:28:54.640
But in doing so,&nbsp;the field of pharmaceutical&nbsp;
medicine ignores the most basic philosophy of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:54.640,0:29:01.920
healing which is to do away with the root cause&nbsp;
of any health problem. It is not sufficient to do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:01.920,0:29:09.280
away with the symptoms of the problem alone.
If the symptoms alone are done away with,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:09.280,0:29:15.840
the problem tends to relapse. Almost&nbsp;
everyone has experienced this. That is,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:15.840,0:29:23.360
perhaps, why the modern medical approach calls&nbsp;
their procedures ‘treatments’ and not ‘cures’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:23.360,0:29:28.080
Treatment Vs Cure:
Healing, on the other hand,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:28.080,0:29:33.520
concerns itself with curing an illness&nbsp;
permanently as opposed to treating it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:33.520,0:29:41.600
temporarily by focussing on its symptoms alone.
Treating symptoms temporarily can be a much</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:41.600,0:29:48.080
swifter process than curing the root cause&nbsp;
permanently. This is the reason why modern</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:48.080,0:29:54.960
pharmaceutical medicine has gained acceptance&nbsp;
among the masses. In the age of fast food,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:54.960,0:30:02.720
people look for fast medicine as well. It doesn’t&nbsp;
matter if it damages their health in the long run.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:02.720,0:30:09.680
Treating Symptoms Alone Spoils Health:
How does treating only symptoms damage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:09.680,0:30:15.040
health in the long run?
It does so in two main ways:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:16.000,0:30:22.560
First, as the symptoms temporarily disappear,&nbsp;
the patients psychologically feel that the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:22.560,0:30:29.600
problem has been eliminated. Hence they revert&nbsp;
to their old lifestyles that had caused the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:29.600,0:30:37.120
problem in the very first place. As a result,&nbsp;
the problem relapses after some time turning</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:37.120,0:30:43.840
them weaker and weaker every time it does.
Second, the symptoms cannot be naturally</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:43.840,0:30:50.000
eliminated without addressing the causative&nbsp;
factors. What pharmaceutical medicine actually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:50.000,0:30:57.120
does is that it suppresses the symptoms&nbsp;
artificially by sending an army of antibodies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:57.120,0:31:03.040
from outside. It doesn’t strengthen the&nbsp;
antibodies that the innate immune system</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:03.040,0:31:10.240
generates within. The immune system is just&nbsp;
not given enough time or chance to fight the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:10.240,0:31:17.760
illness with its own natural antibodies.
As a result, in the long run, it gets</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:17.760,0:31:23.600
conditioned not to be able to generate&nbsp;
these antibodies efficiently anymore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:23.600,0:31:29.760
It leads to incrementally reduced immunity&nbsp;
in the mind-body system after taking every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:29.760,0:31:36.000
course of modern pharmaceutical medicine.
Every new relapse of the same condition</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:36.000,0:31:43.680
proves to be more serious than the former,&nbsp;
complicating the treatment more complex each time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:43.680,0:31:50.400
Health deteriorates further!
Lifestyle Diseases:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:50.400,0:31:56.480
Apart from normal acute diseases, there&nbsp;
are more permanent lifestyle diseases too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:56.480,0:32:04.000
migraines | diabetes | hypothyroid |&nbsp;
hyperthyroid | hypertension | heart</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:04.000,0:32:10.800
conditions | acidity | constipation&nbsp;
| obesity | liver cirrhosis | kidney</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:10.800,0:32:16.240
failure | asthma | anxiety |&nbsp;
depression | and many more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:17.040,0:32:23.040
Unfortunately, modern pharmaceutical medicine&nbsp;
doesn’t have any permanent cure for them. It</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:23.040,0:32:29.680
only has a few options to merely manage&nbsp;
the above-listed conditions somehow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:29.680,0:32:34.080
Role of Money:
Significant resources are required</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:34.080,0:32:41.680
in carrying out such monitored tests on sample&nbsp;
sets of patients. ‘Big Pharma’ is the entity that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:41.680,0:32:49.120
funds this research and then has to make it all&nbsp;
back by lobbying for, marketing and force-feeding</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:49.120,0:32:58.160
medicines that only cure symptoms to a populace&nbsp;
that, at best, gets habituated and, at worst, gets</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:58.160,0:33:05.520
addicted to them. It is something like pop music&nbsp;
and popular movies selling way more than classical</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:05.520,0:33:13.920
ones or fast food more than nutritious diet.
Both time and resources go against holistic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:13.920,0:33:20.640
healing procedures. They aren’t effectively&nbsp;
able to carry out monitored tests on large</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:20.640,0:33:26.080
enough sample sizes of patients for a&nbsp;
long enough time. Hence they are at a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:26.080,0:33:33.280
loss to show better statistical results&nbsp;
in a scientifically convincing manner.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:33.280,0:33:38.480
It is very much like the rich becoming&nbsp;
richer even if inefficient, and the poor</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:38.480,0:33:45.200
becoming poorer even if more virtuous.
Healthcare also brings in another</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:45.200,0:33:51.120
big business as a huge commercial&nbsp;
activity called health insurance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:51.920,0:33:58.960
It benefits from people’s fear of falling ill&nbsp;
or else dying prematurely, both of which have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:58.960,0:34:07.120
scary consequences to deal with. There is also&nbsp;
a much costlier fear of losing what one has,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:07.120,0:34:15.040
including one’s business and costly belongings.
In a healthy society supported by strong pillars</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:15.040,0:34:23.760
of closely-knit communities, such fears wouldn’t&nbsp;
have rooted themselves deep enough. But since that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:23.760,0:34:32.400
is not what it is, an individual feels alienated,&nbsp;
scared of being left alone in any such emergency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:33.200,0:34:38.160
The only available option one finds&nbsp;
to feel reasonably safe and secure</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:38.160,0:34:46.800
is a legally binding insurance to take care in&nbsp;
case any such casualty happens. And ironically,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:46.800,0:34:54.080
the agency that provides this feeling of safety&nbsp;
is one of the biggest businesses on earth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:54.800,0:35:00.320
Although it does provide the feeing of&nbsp;
a legal safety, the socio-psychological</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:00.320,0:35:07.200
security network is awfully missing.&nbsp;
On top of it, recurring payments for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:07.200,0:35:14.080
various kinds of insurance add up fast to a&nbsp;
considerable sum to part with, every month.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:14.800,0:35:21.360
The insurance companies have the last laugh&nbsp;
with a heavy bank balance at their disposal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:21.360,0:35:29.680
Even after the legal safety is purchased, the&nbsp;
lonely individual mind never sits relaxed!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:29.680,0:35:37.680
It is always the mind that fears. Brain simply&nbsp;
acts in a passionately focused manner if needed.</p>

Army - A Social Institution Licensed to Kill:
Army is one of the most weird&nbsp;social</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:53.200,0:35:58.240
institutions&nbsp;that Homo&nbsp;
sapiens ever built on earth!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:58.240,0:36:04.720
Is it possible for a sensitive soldier to kill&nbsp;
an enemy soldier without feeling bad about it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:05.360,0:36:12.240
Killing a man is not like killing an animal.&nbsp;
Had it been so, consuming human flesh could</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:12.240,0:36:20.400
have been a norm like eating animal flesh is.
But we don’t eat our own species simply because</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:20.400,0:36:28.240
we sense a common link among us. Even the thought&nbsp;
of doing so invokes a strong revulsion not only</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:28.240,0:36:35.120
in our mind but in our body too.
Won’t a real killing of a real man</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:35.120,0:36:40.800
invoke a similar reaction in someone&nbsp;
with a normal level of sensitivity?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:40.800,0:36:48.640
It should! It ought to!
Sensitivity Vs Insensitivity:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:48.640,0:36:53.520
If it doesn’t, it simply shows&nbsp;
that the person concerned is not</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:53.520,0:36:59.520
sensitive enough to feel bad about it.
But then, throughout the history of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:59.520,0:37:06.640
mankind there have been armies invading&nbsp;
other armies to kill soldiers in wars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:06.640,0:37:12.640
Who are these people who do so and&nbsp;
don’t ever feel a tinge about it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:12.640,0:37:18.480
One can only infer that the human mind can&nbsp;
certainly be trained to become insensitive enough</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:18.480,0:37:25.520
not to feel bad about killing other humans.
But is that a healthy state to achieve?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:26.400,0:37:33.760
What implications will such insensitivity have&nbsp;
on the mental health of the person concerned?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:33.760,0:37:40.080
The real act of love depends on sensitivity&nbsp;
in order for its subtleties to be felt! Will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:40.080,0:37:47.440
a killer ever be able to love another human&nbsp;
being with all the soft and tender feelings?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:47.440,0:37:49.600
Certainly not!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:49.600,0:37:54.560
His/her act of love would also be&nbsp;
something like an act of winning a war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:55.360,0:38:01.360
An Army Against Another Army:
That was from the perspective of an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:01.360,0:38:07.280
individual soldier who is trained to kill.
Let’s ponder upon it from a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:07.280,0:38:13.040
totally different perspective now.
How can the collective humanity justify</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:13.040,0:38:21.840
raising armies aimed at killing other humans?
What turns certain armies enemy to one another?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:21.840,0:38:30.080
Soldiers in the two enemy armies don’t even know&nbsp;
one another, let alone being each other’s enemies!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:30.080,0:38:35.360
The same enemies might have been the best of&nbsp;
friends, had they met one another in different</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:35.360,0:38:41.920
circumstances elsewhere in life.
Why all this enmity?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:41.920,0:38:47.520
And who can guarantee it will continue&nbsp;
like this in the future? On retirement,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:47.520,0:38:54.080
they may settle down in some foreign land and end&nbsp;
up being next door neighbors. They may even turn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:54.080,0:39:01.120
out to be passionately fond of each other!
Anything is possible! We just investigated</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:01.120,0:39:06.880
one such hypothetical situation.
Even if some lands are spared being</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:06.880,0:39:14.400
tagged as adversaries by the political bosses, our&nbsp;
sensitivities may never be with them. We may turn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:14.400,0:39:22.240
insensitive to the people residing in those lands.
We inherited this beautiful earth and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:22.240,0:39:29.440
we divided it into countries and&nbsp;
nationalities making it look so ugly!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:29.440,0:39:36.720
In today’s world, this enmity is further&nbsp;
strengthened by mainly two kinds of narratives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:36.720,0:39:42.880
The first one is the border disputes that&nbsp;
generally afflict neighboring nations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:42.880,0:39:48.640
The second narrative has to do with the&nbsp;
ideological differences. Nations tend to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:48.640,0:39:56.080
resist worldviews that affect the kind of society&nbsp;
they have designed for themselves, even if such</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:56.080,0:40:03.840
resistance comes from thousands of miles away.
Any suspicious move by one is interpreted as a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:03.840,0:40:09.760
conspiracy on their behalf intending to&nbsp;
devour the very existence of the other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:09.760,0:40:16.960
In such a scenario, every nation is&nbsp;
always in a constant state of paranoia.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:16.960,0:40:23.360
Politicians very well know how to create&nbsp;
narratives benefiting them in strengthening</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:23.360,0:40:30.160
their control on the internal politics of&nbsp;
their own states. They can easily turn them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:30.160,0:40:37.280
as a dangerous threat to their very existence&nbsp;
as a nation. A sprawling wave of fear spreads</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:37.280,0:40:43.600
all over in the minds of its inhabitants who,&nbsp;
then, are ready to unconditionally support</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:43.600,0:40:51.920
their rulers. The armies are alerted, recruiting&nbsp;
more soldiers and purchasing new lethal arms for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:51.920,0:41:00.640
them. Everyone shuns their brains, panicking&nbsp;
and acting emotionally in a haphazard manner.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:01.360,0:41:07.360
We have seen it happening all around&nbsp;
the world for various political motives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:07.360,0:41:12.400
Fast Forward to The Present Day:
Let us fast forward to the present</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:12.400,0:41:17.520
day scenario of the state.
The state changed its form in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:17.520,0:41:23.280
almost all countries and nationalities from&nbsp;
feudal kingdoms to the so-called democratic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:23.280,0:41:29.120
republics. They should actually have been&nbsp;
called plutocratic republics instead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:29.840,0:41:37.120
The dominance of resources in the present form of&nbsp;
money still persists as far as formation of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:37.120,0:41:43.520
governments in all countries and nationalities&nbsp;
is concerned. It was only the form of the state</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:43.520,0:41:51.040
that changed, not its essential character.
The cunning and the corrupt are still in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:51.040,0:41:57.920
power in every state of the world. Thanks to&nbsp;
the power of money that gets them elected to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:57.920,0:42:05.920
represent millions of people under the mask of&nbsp;
patriotism. This is now an irrefutable fact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:05.920,0:42:09.920
Aesthetic Needs
Arts and entertainment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:09.920,0:42:16.400
networks are social institutions that fall under&nbsp;
sociocultural sacral chakra arising from the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:16.400,0:42:26.320
suppression/ repression of sexual gratification.&nbsp;
The currencies it uses are ‘fame’ and ‘celebrity’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:26.320,0:42:33.920
The growth needs that these institutions&nbsp;
aim to fulfill are aesthetic needs. However,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:33.920,0:42:40.320
these aesthetic needs got corrupted by the&nbsp;
currency of ‘fame’ and ‘celebrity’ into phenomena</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:40.320,0:42:48.400
such as the ‘star system’ in the film industry.
And since the suppression/ repression of sexual</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:48.400,0:42:56.320
gratification was an intensive as well as an&nbsp;
extensive phenomenon, almost everyone looked</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:56.320,0:43:05.280
forward to aesthetic experiences either in the&nbsp;
form of a creator or else a consumer. Consuming</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:05.280,0:43:13.520
was way easier than creating aesthetic experiences&nbsp;
offering day-dreams to them. Naturally,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:13.520,0:43:21.920
consumers of such aesthetic experiences found an&nbsp;
element of entertainment in them. As a result,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:21.920,0:43:30.320
such experiences started pulling in huge crowds to&nbsp;
their performances. Their creators and performers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:30.320,0:43:38.160
started acquiring fame and celebrity resulting in&nbsp;
a special status for them in society. This helped</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:38.160,0:43:46.560
them to not only become rich but also objects&nbsp;
of desire for their consumers. This also helped</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:46.560,0:43:53.360
them in coming out of suppression/ repression of&nbsp;
their sexual gratification. Soon, they started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:53.360,0:44:00.640
acquiring a larger than life stature in society,&nbsp;
epitomizing its most sought after desires.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:44:01.520,0:44:09.360
Thus, art, the purpose of which was to fulfill&nbsp;
aesthetic needs got waylaid by the artist and,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:44:09.360,0:44:14.960
consequently, the sociocultural&nbsp;
sacral chakra got closed.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 30th episode of <strong>Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Aesthetic, Physiological and Safety Needs!</strong>” will tell you about corruption in industrial complex, big pharma &amp; insurance, military-industrial complex and politics-business nexus.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">The first casualty, as was the case with our biology, was the sociocultural root chakra.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">As it stands today, closed sociocultural chakras have blocked the human energy right at the lowest level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, namely physiological and safety needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 id="wants-vs-needs-corruption-of-aesthetic-physiological-and-safety-needs-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Aesthetic, Physiological and Safety Needs! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Aesthetic, Physiological and Safety Needs!”, I explore the intricate relationships between socio-cultural institutions and the pervasive corruption that has taken root within them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I guide you through a thought experiment inspired by Dr. Albert Einstein, challenging listeners to reflect on the distinctions between needs and wants.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how societal wants have increasingly overshadowed genuine needs, leading to a fragmented understanding of our physiological and safety requirements.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode explores the historical evolution of socio-cultural structures, tracing the origins of corruption from the industrial complex to the military-industrial nexus and the intertwining of politics and business.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learn how the quest for personal ownership and wealth has distorted our priorities, transforming essential needs into mere commodities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I discuss the implications of this corruption on our health and well-being, I emphasize the importance of returning to a state of balance and understanding.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I posit that a collective emptying of the mind is necessary to restore genuine health and foster spontaneous decision-making aligned with our true needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This thought-provoking episode invites you to consider how the socio-cultural root chakra has been compromised and what steps can be taken to reclaim our health and humanity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can we learn to prioritize genuine needs over corrupted wants?&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:00.960,0:00:08.000
Let us do a thought experiment (one of the most&nbsp;
favorite tools of one Dr. Albert Einstein).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:08.000,0:00:26.160
Think of yourself as an idealist for a moment.
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:26.160,0:00:33.920
A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:33.920,0:00:41.120
Today’s episode will tell you about corruption&nbsp;
in industrial complex, big pharma &amp; insurance,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:41.120,0:00:47.120
military-industrial complex&nbsp;
and politics-business nexus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:47.120,0:00:55.120
The first casualty, as was the case with our&nbsp;
biology, was the sociocultural root chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:55.120,0:01:01.760
As it stands today, closed sociocultural&nbsp;
chakras have blocked the human energy right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:01.760,0:01:10.160
at the lowest level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of&nbsp;
Needs, namely physiological and safety needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:10.160,0:01:17.360
As explained above, the root of the problem lies&nbsp;
in faulty cognition of reality whereby societal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:17.360,0:01:24.800
wants function as proxies for social needs.
Personal ownership of resources became more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:24.800,0:01:33.280
important than the physiological or aesthetic&nbsp;
needs it fulfilled. Thus, money, as a means to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:33.280,0:01:38.960
personal ownership of resources, became a&nbsp;
currency for the exchange of the goods and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:38.960,0:01:46.960
services that fulfilled these needs. Sociocultural&nbsp;
institutions belonging to the sociocultural root</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:46.960,0:01:54.560
chakra include the most sought after core of&nbsp;
society at present. Physiological needs comprise</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:54.560,0:02:01.600
the biological component of human survival&nbsp;
guaranteeing homeostasis to the human body.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:02.320,0:02:08.320
These are provided by the social systems&nbsp;
such as industrial complexes for jobs and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:08.320,0:02:13.760
financial complexes to enable and manage&nbsp;
transactions using ‘personal ownership’</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:13.760,0:02:20.320
of resources as its main currency.
However, this currency turned into a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:20.320,0:02:25.360
source of widespread corruption.
Pursuit of Genuine Physiological</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:25.360,0:02:34.800
Needs Instead of Its Corrupted Currency,&nbsp;
Personal Ownership of Resources (Money)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.800,0:02:42.080
Let us do a thought experiment (one of the most&nbsp;
favorite tools of one Dr. Albert Einstein). Think</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:42.080,0:02:48.160
of yourself as an idealist for a moment.
What if you tell me that I will get</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:48.160,0:02:55.520
whatever I need whenever I need&nbsp;
as much I need unconditionally?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:55.520,0:03:02.480
Imagine what would my reaction be.
If I am fearful, controlled by my mind, I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:02.480,0:03:10.720
could easily turn greedy. I may say, “Just change&nbsp;
the word need with the word want and I am okay.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:11.440,0:03:18.640
Needs are physical phenomena whereas wants&nbsp;
are psychological in their basic etymology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:18.640,0:03:24.160
What decides what I need and&nbsp;
what decides what I want?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:24.160,0:03:30.560
Aren’t these two entities the calls given&nbsp;
by the brain and the mind respectively?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:30.560,0:03:35.600
Back to the thought experiment…had&nbsp;
I not been corrupted by my mind,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:35.600,0:03:41.840
I would have been the happiest man on earth to&nbsp;
have been offered this proposal by you! I would</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:41.840,0:03:48.800
have immediately accepted your proposal&nbsp;
and asked you what I need to do for that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:48.800,0:03:55.600
However, let’s continue with the version&nbsp;
of me that IS being driven by fear.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:55.600,0:04:02.080
You say, “Throw the yoke of all your possessions&nbsp;
off your shoulders and just be a free man.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:02.800,0:04:07.680
I may not believe you for a&nbsp;
moment and retort, “Why? Do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:07.680,0:04:11.840
YOU want to take away all my possessions?”
“I don’t need to…,” you smile. “I don’t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:11.840,0:04:21.680
need to want,” you repeat.
“Won’t you like ruling the world? Don’t you want</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:21.680,0:04:31.440
that?” I sound stupid to my own self as I ask.
“Why would I?” you give a carefree look,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:31.440,0:04:38.640
“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown!”
“But what would I do if I get what I need without</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:38.640,0:04:46.160
doing anything for getting it?” I am intrigued.
“Decide it for yourself if you really feel like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:46.160,0:04:54.240
doing something,” you are still smiling.
“It would turn me crazy,” I retort.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:54.240,0:05:00.160
“That you already are,” you show me&nbsp;
the mirror, “A slave to your mind!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:00.160,0:05:06.640
“By the same token, aren’t you a&nbsp;
slave to your brain too?” I challenge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:06.640,0:05:14.160
“My brain is my friend. Your mind is your boss. It&nbsp;
keeps you scared with a threat of starving in case</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:14.160,0:05:23.520
you don’t earn the right to live,” you sound cool.
“And your brain?” I ask again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:23.520,0:05:30.720
“It doesn’t think of future. It lets me do&nbsp;
what I feel like doing right now,” you reveal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:30.720,0:05:38.400
“YOU do what you feel like doing. What&nbsp;
would I do, I don’t know,” I nervously say.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:38.400,0:05:44.320
“Enable me to enable my guarantee that&nbsp;
I just gave you!” you start laughing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.320,0:05:48.720
I get taken aback for a moment.&nbsp;
Then I start laughing along.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:50.160,0:05:55.200
That ends our thought experiment.&nbsp;
It tells us idealism is not as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:55.200,0:06:01.840
impossible as it is presented to be.
The entire question swings between two different</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:01.840,0:06:09.440
approaches to life, ‘to have’ or ‘to be’.
Do we have a gene within us that would</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:09.440,0:06:15.840
answer this question? If it says the&nbsp;
fittest survives, doesn’t our thought</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:15.840,0:06:23.680
experiment hint toward that possibility even&nbsp;
when threatened by human-induced climate change?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:23.680,0:06:28.400
Cavemen never felt they ever&nbsp;
required any private property.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:28.400,0:06:33.520
If it were in our genes, we would&nbsp;
have started going along that track</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:33.520,0:06:40.480
right then and there. If we did it later,&nbsp;
something new must have conspired to do so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:41.440,0:06:48.720
I hypothesize, it was simply our mind&nbsp;
gone greedy, trying to save itself from</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:48.720,0:06:53.440
starving to death in future.
We had evolved to grow our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:53.440,0:06:58.160
own food on the fertile land.
But we hadn’t evolved to own</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:58.160,0:07:05.360
the land primarily and go on expanding its&nbsp;
perimeter to the last days of our lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:05.360,0:07:11.120
Doing so through putting the yoke of all its&nbsp;
stressful burdens on our shoulders took its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:11.120,0:07:17.200
toll on our health. No other species&nbsp;
in the entire animal world ever does</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:17.200,0:07:25.840
that. And if we got a brain, did we get&nbsp;
it for wasting it on such petty concerns?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:25.840,0:07:32.000
We certainly went wrong somewhere when we&nbsp;
shifted from hunting-gathering to agriculture</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:32.000,0:07:39.120
and personal ownership of resources. We&nbsp;
thought it would give us freedom but what</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:39.120,0:07:47.120
it gave us was slavery and disease alone. The&nbsp;
more personal resource ownership we amassed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:47.120,0:07:54.240
the more it impoverished us in other ways.
Have we ever thought how much energy we waste</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:54.240,0:08:01.280
just in the petty pursuit of staying alive and&nbsp;
comfortable? In fact, to secure our comfortable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.280,0:08:08.160
living in the future, we ‘want’ to amass resources&nbsp;
that are many times more than we would ever really</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:08.160,0:08:15.040
need. Doesn’t this amount to stealing from&nbsp;
others who could have used those resources</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:15.040,0:08:23.600
to live a comfortable life? But unluckily 80% of&nbsp;
the human wealth lies under the control of 20%</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:23.600,0:08:32.560
of the human population. The rest 80% live&nbsp;
a life of have nots. And majority of these</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:32.560,0:08:41.280
20% people has acquired the 80% of the human&nbsp;
wealth through unethical if not illegal means.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:41.280,0:08:46.880
Here are two quotes of this Pareto’s&nbsp;
principle of 20-80 distribution…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:46.880,0:08:52.800
Pareto’s observation was in connection with&nbsp;
population and wealth. Pareto noticed that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:52.800,0:09:00.640
approximately 80% of Italy’s land was owned by 20%&nbsp;
of the population.&nbsp;He then carried out surveys on</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:00.640,0:09:08.240
a variety of other countries and found to his&nbsp;
surprise that a similar distribution applied.</p>

A chart that gave the effect a very visible&nbsp;
and comprehensible form,&nbsp;the so-called</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:17.520,0:09:24.640
“champagne glass” effect,&nbsp;was contained in the&nbsp;
1992&nbsp;United Nations Development Program&nbsp;Report,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:25.920,0:09:31.120
which showed that distribution&nbsp;
of global income is very uneven,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:31.120,0:09:39.520
with the richest 20% of the world’s population&nbsp;
receiving 82.7% of the world’s income.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:43.680,0:09:49.120
If we don’t have sufficient ownership of&nbsp;
resources in order to live a comfortable life,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.120,0:09:56.640
we will keep dreaming of it all the time. If we&nbsp;
have way more resources than needed, it keeps us</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:56.640,0:10:05.440
too busy not to lose them and, therefore, to&nbsp;
grow them further. Why? It is because nothing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:05.440,0:10:13.200
is sufficient for human greed which is driven&nbsp;
by the human fear of losing everything one has.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:13.200,0:10:21.360
In both cases, we are not living a life full of&nbsp;
freedom. We are doomed to remain&nbsp;slaves to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:21.360,0:10:29.440
same wicked design that we ourselves created as&nbsp;
our sociocultural structure. It not only robs us</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:29.440,0:10:36.480
personally of our joy of living a free life but&nbsp;
also socially of the countless geniuses hidden</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:36.480,0:10:44.480
in broad daylight amidst us. This is because&nbsp;
they never become free to exhibit their talents</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:44.480,0:10:52.400
while they are busy dreaming of and toiling for&nbsp;
the ownership of a bigger chunk of resources.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:52.400,0:10:59.360
Slaves never enjoy. They don’t enjoy because&nbsp;
they are not free. Slave holders never enjoy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:59.360,0:11:05.520
either. They don’t enjoy because they are&nbsp;
busy keeping slaves as slaves forever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:05.520,0:11:13.680
Hence their slaves don’t let them be free.
They become the slaves of their slaves. I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:13.680,0:11:18.080
still remember a couplet that I&nbsp;
had read in my early childhood:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:18.080,0:11:26.320
Leave your birthplace, And roam around the world;&nbsp;
Refusing either to be a slave, Or a slave holder</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:26.320,0:11:34.720
I wouldn’t be surprised if you are asking as you&nbsp;
read this, “Who decides what is comfortable?”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:34.720,0:11:41.920
Well, it is my contention that ‘Skeletally Leapt”&nbsp;
humans, operating primarily from their brains,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:41.920,0:11:48.800
would answer that question organically and would&nbsp;
arrive at similar, if not the same, answers as a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:48.800,0:11:55.200
society. Therefore, we don’t really need to take&nbsp;
any direct corrective action in order to resolve</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:55.200,0:12:03.520
this dilemma. We just need to empty our mind via&nbsp;
Skeletal Leap to regain our health. And leave it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:03.520,0:12:10.400
to our brain to take the right spontaneous&nbsp;
decisions. What constitutes a comfortable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:10.400,0:12:17.200
life would be as obvious to them the same way that&nbsp;
existence of matter is self-evident to science and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:17.200,0:12:26.640
that of life is self-evident to each one of us.
Sociocultural Root Chakra: Industrial Complex</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:26.640,0:12:32.640
The first 6000 yearsh1 after the transition&nbsp;
from the mode of hunting-gathering to that of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:32.640,0:12:38.640
agriculture and cattle-rearing resulted&nbsp;
in two strong social institutions:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:38.640,0:12:46.160
business and the state. Business was in the&nbsp;
rudimentary form of loosely organized crafts,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:46.160,0:12:53.600
trades and services while the state gradually&nbsp;
evolved into aggressive empires that constantly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:53.600,0:13:01.920
fought with one another and extended their control&nbsp;
over further chunks of lands and populations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:01.920,0:13:08.640
Everything remained in flux for a very long&nbsp;
period of around the next 6,000 years. Empires</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:08.640,0:13:16.800
kept changing hands by new power centers forcing&nbsp;
businesses to keep changing their currencies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:16.800,0:13:22.720
Much later, after the Industrial Revolution in&nbsp;
Europe took place in the eighteenth century,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:22.720,0:13:28.880
businesses were able to revolutionize their&nbsp;
speed of production. Their sizes started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:28.880,0:13:33.440
getting bigger and bigger needing&nbsp;
bigger markets for their products</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:33.440,0:13:40.560
and more raw materials for their production.
This started an era of certain European nations</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:40.560,0:13:48.560
colonizing far-flung countries in Asia, Africa&nbsp;
and South America mainly for the resources that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:48.560,0:13:55.680
lay untapped therein. The ones that missed&nbsp;
the bus then tried to compensate later by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:55.680,0:14:02.560
waging the two World Wars that they eventually&nbsp;
lost. Still, these two wars left the imperial</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:02.560,0:14:09.680
powers’ control on their colonies severely&nbsp;
depleted. They were forced to move out,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:09.680,0:14:16.320
limiting them back to their own homelands.
Since the world came out of the trend of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:16.320,0:14:22.080
nations attacking others to extend their&nbsp;
boundaries and control, political control</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:22.080,0:14:28.640
has given way to business control all over the&nbsp;
world. The power of big business has assumed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:28.640,0:14:36.320
the size of financial empires, bestowing them&nbsp;
with real powers to manipulate governments.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:36.320,0:14:42.560
Business morphed into a profit generating machine&nbsp;
more than a responsible facilitator of comforts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:42.560,0:14:50.720
and innovations. Politics-business nexus began&nbsp;
centralizing unprecedented powers to control</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:50.720,0:14:59.840
almost every single aspect of people’s lives.
As of today, business as an entity has started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:59.840,0:15:05.360
controlling every single&nbsp;
aspect of our life on earth.</p>

Sociocultural Root Chakra: Politics-Business Nexus
Power got concentrated in the hands of the cunning</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:14.080,0:15:21.040
and the corrupt. And they took extra care to&nbsp;
ensure that it never slipped off their hands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:21.920,0:15:27.840
All the instruments of the state that existed&nbsp;
in the name of serving the masses actually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:27.840,0:15:34.480
started being co-opted by secret agenda.&nbsp;
These agenda took care that the cunning</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:34.480,0:15:41.440
and the corrupt were able to maintain their&nbsp;
control over people’s lives and prosperity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:41.440,0:15:45.440
Countries were never a part of&nbsp;
the package that we received as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:45.440,0:15:53.120
we evolved into a thinking species on earth.
What was offered to us was an unnamed vast</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:53.120,0:16:00.000
expanse of land to live and move around on.
This nexus between the state and the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:00.000,0:16:08.400
business threatens the very welfare of humanity.
Business, as an entity, has grown so powerful that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:08.400,0:16:15.280
it can even make or break political structures&nbsp;
anywhere. Both of them have their respective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:15.280,0:16:21.920
vested interests which generally don’t align&nbsp;
with the genuine interests of the very populace</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:21.920,0:16:27.840
that they each claim to ‘serve’.
Human-induced climate change is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:27.840,0:16:36.400
a direct outcome of this misalignment.
During the COP26, the yearly UN climate summit</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:36.400,0:16:44.800
held in Glasgow in 2021, the well-known climate&nbsp;
activist Greta Thunberg protested in Glasgow,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:44.800,0:16:52.080
saying COP26 wasn’t leading us anywhere. Only&nbsp;
pledges and commitments aren’t going to stop</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:52.080,0:17:01.040

COP27 was held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:09.040,0:17:17.760
from 6 November until 20 November 2022. Its&nbsp;
credibility was dealt a serious blow by the</p>

absence of big powers, Russia and China.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:34.880,0:17:44.000
as it lacked a clear-cut time-based commitment&nbsp;
to either fossil fuel phase-out or phase-down.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:44.000,0:17:51.200
China and India did not even sign the pledge to&nbsp;

ground too, limiting itself to lip service alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:11.440,0:18:17.920
Who will ensure that the targets of these&nbsp;
summits are met before it is too late?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:17.920,0:18:23.200
Unluckily, here again, the national&nbsp;
ambitions of the politics-business</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:23.200,0:18:30.320
nexus are coming in the way of its success.&nbsp;
The point of no return is very close and,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:30.320,0:18:36.560
when it arrives, it will be no less than Nero&nbsp;
playing the fiddle while Rome was burning!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:37.280,0:18:43.120
This, though, is only half the story&nbsp;
of the sociocultural root chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:43.120,0:18:47.920
The other half of the sociocultural root&nbsp;
chakra got closed by the corruption of our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:47.920,0:18:54.880
safety needs through the ‘currency’ we know&nbsp;
as ‘public welfare’. Safety needs comprise</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:54.880,0:19:00.960
healthcare along with security. These&nbsp;
are provided by healthcare facilities,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:00.960,0:19:11.120

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:18.000,0:19:25.280
Healthcare has, of course, helped the masses in&nbsp;
a great way but only to manage ailing conditions,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:25.280,0:19:34.080
not curing them permanently. It definitely did its&nbsp;
bit in surgical interventions excellently but then</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:34.080,0:19:42.080
fell short of energizing society cyclically.&nbsp;
As far as judicial systems are concerned,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:42.080,0:19:47.680
they do their job only up to the point&nbsp;
where the political system at the helm</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:47.680,0:19:54.800
of power doesn’t get challenged. After&nbsp;
that point is reached, politics-judiciary</p>

nexus immediately gets created by those in&nbsp;
political power at the moment in a covert</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:00.960,0:20:07.760
dictatorial way. We have seen it happening in&nbsp;
more than one countries in the recent past.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:08.720,0:20:14.320
Similarly, public welfare got diminished by&nbsp;
sloganeering that takes center stage rather than</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:14.320,0:20:22.320
fulfilling safety needs in reality.&nbsp;Armies have&nbsp;
always remained an instrument of offense rather</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:22.320,0:20:31.520
than genuine defense for safety. Warfare has&nbsp;
been a way of life along the passage of history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:31.520,0:20:36.960
What essentially is it that makes us prone&nbsp;
to falling in the trap of an unhealthy life?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:37.760,0:20:44.800
An Unhealthy Fragmented Mind:
As already described in Episode 26 in detail,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:44.800,0:20:51.840
a fragmented mind is an unhealthy mind.
Okay, but what exactly do we mean by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:51.840,0:20:56.480
the fragmentation of mind?
Well, fragmentation simply</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:56.480,0:21:02.800
means divided in two or more parts rather&nbsp;
than being one single entity as a whole.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:03.440,0:21:10.960
When it comes to an undivided mind, it means a&nbsp;
mind focused at one single thing at one given</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:10.960,0:21:20.560
time. It happens when the mind is emptied of all&nbsp;
its motivations and left alone with its passion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:20.560,0:21:27.200
From Interest to Involvement to Focus:
When the mind is focused at one single thing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:27.200,0:21:36.480
like this, it works at its best. All its energies&nbsp;
get aligned, producing a laser-like effect in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:36.480,0:21:43.040
order to deal with the concern in question.
Such focus comes with absolute involvement in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:43.040,0:21:48.960
the process that the mind is busy with.
But generally, the mind lacks that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:48.960,0:21:54.560
level of involvement in almost&nbsp;
anything it lays its hands on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:54.560,0:21:59.680
Why?
Simply because it is not REALLY interested in it!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:00.400,0:22:05.760
It is interested in what it&nbsp;
is going to get out of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:05.760,0:22:14.480
Herein lies the biggest lacuna of&nbsp;human health,&nbsp;
i.e., the way humanity lives an unhealthy life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:14.480,0:22:21.040
Passion Vs Motivation:
We do an action not because that action</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:21.040,0:22:28.160
is our passion. We rather do it based on the&nbsp;
motivation for what it is going to reward us with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.880,0:22:36.720
We act out of motivation, not out of passion.
If motivation is the driving force behind our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:36.720,0:22:42.960
mental action, it has already fragmented&nbsp;
our mind. Mind is doing one thing in the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:42.960,0:22:49.600
present and thinking about another in&nbsp;
the future or the past, for that matter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:49.600,0:22:56.400
It is not really involved in the action, simply&nbsp;
because it is not really interested in the action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:57.120,0:23:02.160
Motivation Is A Mirage:
It is interested in something other than</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:02.160,0:23:08.640
acting in the present. It is rather the action of&nbsp;
dreaming about the future when it hopefully will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:08.640,0:23:14.560
have rewarded us with its outcome.
Motivation and passion don’t ever</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:14.560,0:23:20.880
go hand in hand with each other.
Motivation comes from outside. It is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:20.880,0:23:25.520
needed only when we are not passionate&nbsp;
about what we are doing from within.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:26.320,0:23:32.720
In that sense, we can think of punishment&nbsp;
as its opposite. If we are not passionate,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:32.720,0:23:39.600
we are shown a carrot to do a thing to the&nbsp;
best of our efficiency. If that fails, a rod</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:39.600,0:23:47.120
as punishment is the next option that is applied.
If we are passionate from within, we neither need</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:47.120,0:23:56.160
a carrot as motivation nor a rod as punishment.
The greed for a carrot or the fear of a rod can</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:56.160,0:24:03.040
only make cosmetic enhancements in efficiency.&nbsp;
Neither can ever match the efficiency that comes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:03.040,0:24:08.720
from passion for the action at hand. This&nbsp;
is simply because the reward-punishment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:08.720,0:24:15.120
approach doesn’t enjoy the process, it&nbsp;
is rather preoccupied with outcome alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:15.840,0:24:20.320
But humanity performs almost all&nbsp;
its actions out of motivation for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:20.320,0:24:29.760
the outcome, not out of passion for the action.
The results are always much less than optimal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:29.760,0:24:36.800
It further fragments our mind, looking for an&nbsp;
even stronger motivation the next time. Our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:36.800,0:24:44.080
petty vision keeps us limited but still satisfied&nbsp;
in just doing the job a little better each time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:44.080,0:24:49.040
But it is never going to happen!
We may come up with various acceptable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:49.040,0:24:54.880
outcomes that our society has become&nbsp;
accustomed to. But we will never be able</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:54.880,0:25:03.280
to come up with an optimally excellent outcome&nbsp;
generating an exhilarating experience in life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:03.280,0:25:07.680
Mind Affecting Body:
This was all about the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:07.680,0:25:14.000
dynamics of an unhealthy mind in action.
What about its effects on the body?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:14.000,0:25:19.520
The body is responsible for healthy&nbsp;
physiological processes, after all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:19.520,0:25:25.600
Well, it turns out that an unhealthy&nbsp;
mind makes the body unhealthy too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:25.600,0:25:28.800
When two opposite driving&nbsp;
forces pull the mind in two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:28.800,0:25:36.960
opposite directions, the body mirrors the same.
This results largely due to the nerves carrying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:36.960,0:25:43.040
two or more opposing signals from the brain.&nbsp;
These conflicting signals confound the muscles</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:43.040,0:25:50.000
to move in two or more opposite directions.
In such a situation, it becomes physically</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:50.000,0:25:55.360
impossible for the muscles to follow&nbsp;
such opposing signals from the brain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:55.360,0:26:01.200
Fragmentation Generates Stress:
An unhealthy fragmented mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:01.200,0:26:05.840
makes the brain go haywire.
When the muscles are not able</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:05.840,0:26:10.880
to follow the conflicting signals&nbsp;
from the brain, what do they do?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:10.880,0:26:16.400
They just get set in a state of&nbsp;
limbo, which turns them rigid.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:16.400,0:26:20.800
Rigidified involuntary muscles&nbsp;
inside the body as well as the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:20.800,0:26:28.480
voluntary ones outside it turn the body rigid.
This rigidity manifests itself in the body’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:28.480,0:26:35.120
internal physiological processes&nbsp;
as well as its external actions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:35.120,0:26:41.520
This is how mental stress, which is nothing but&nbsp;
a state of fragmented mind, turns into physical</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:41.520,0:26:49.120
stress. It debilitates the body and renders&nbsp;
it prone to all kinds of lifestyle diseases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:49.120,0:26:53.040
Holistic Healing Vs Modern&nbsp;
Pharmaceutical Medicine:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:53.760,0:27:00.640
Holistic healing is a philosophical approach to&nbsp;
healing. It stands 180o opposite to the approach</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:00.640,0:27:08.320
of modern pharmaceutical medicine. This is as&nbsp;
far as taking care of&nbsp;human health&nbsp;is concerned.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:08.320,0:27:13.520
Pharmaceutical medicine, also known as&nbsp;
‘Big Pharma’, is a big business with its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:13.520,0:27:20.880
size being over&nbsp;one trillion U.S. dollars&nbsp;per&nbsp;
year. It is very natural that business will do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:20.880,0:27:28.080
its best never to let its grip loosen on such&nbsp;
a large market. Especially when an alternative</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:28.080,0:27:33.600
approach such as holistic healing starts&nbsp;
growing roots in the mindset of the masses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:34.240,0:27:39.840
I would like to point out here that it is not&nbsp;
a mere coincidence that, whenever a social</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:39.840,0:27:46.560
institution such as pharmaceutical medicine&nbsp;
attempts to fulfill a real safety need (health,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:46.560,0:27:53.920
in this case), the already corrupted institution&nbsp;
of business takes over. It is much the same way</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:53.920,0:27:59.760
that an individual human body in which the root&nbsp;
chakra is closed is prone to the higher chakras</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:59.760,0:28:07.760
getting closed as well. No wonder then, that we&nbsp;
are dealing with “too big to fail” monsters such</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:07.760,0:28:16.240
as politics-business nexus, politics-judiciary&nbsp;
nexus, ‘big pharma’ and many other harmful nexuses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:16.240,0:28:22.720
that we will talk further about.
Scientific Validity:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:22.720,0:28:28.320
The way big business thwarts an alternative&nbsp;
approach to healing is by challenging its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:28.320,0:28:35.360
scientific validity. Its main assertion is&nbsp;
that any such procedures need to undergo</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:35.360,0:28:42.400
strict laboratory testing. Health authorities&nbsp;
always look for convincing statistical data to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:42.400,0:28:48.480
establish the efficacy of any new&nbsp;
approach to address human health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:48.480,0:28:54.640
But in doing so,&nbsp;the field of pharmaceutical&nbsp;
medicine ignores the most basic philosophy of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:54.640,0:29:01.920
healing which is to do away with the root cause&nbsp;
of any health problem. It is not sufficient to do</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:01.920,0:29:09.280
away with the symptoms of the problem alone.
If the symptoms alone are done away with,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:09.280,0:29:15.840
the problem tends to relapse. Almost&nbsp;
everyone has experienced this. That is,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:15.840,0:29:23.360
perhaps, why the modern medical approach calls&nbsp;
their procedures ‘treatments’ and not ‘cures’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:23.360,0:29:28.080
Treatment Vs Cure:
Healing, on the other hand,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:28.080,0:29:33.520
concerns itself with curing an illness&nbsp;
permanently as opposed to treating it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:33.520,0:29:41.600
temporarily by focussing on its symptoms alone.
Treating symptoms temporarily can be a much</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:41.600,0:29:48.080
swifter process than curing the root cause&nbsp;
permanently. This is the reason why modern</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:48.080,0:29:54.960
pharmaceutical medicine has gained acceptance&nbsp;
among the masses. In the age of fast food,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:54.960,0:30:02.720
people look for fast medicine as well. It doesn’t&nbsp;
matter if it damages their health in the long run.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:02.720,0:30:09.680
Treating Symptoms Alone Spoils Health:
How does treating only symptoms damage</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:09.680,0:30:15.040
health in the long run?
It does so in two main ways:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:16.000,0:30:22.560
First, as the symptoms temporarily disappear,&nbsp;
the patients psychologically feel that the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:22.560,0:30:29.600
problem has been eliminated. Hence they revert&nbsp;
to their old lifestyles that had caused the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:29.600,0:30:37.120
problem in the very first place. As a result,&nbsp;
the problem relapses after some time turning</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:37.120,0:30:43.840
them weaker and weaker every time it does.
Second, the symptoms cannot be naturally</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:43.840,0:30:50.000
eliminated without addressing the causative&nbsp;
factors. What pharmaceutical medicine actually</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:50.000,0:30:57.120
does is that it suppresses the symptoms&nbsp;
artificially by sending an army of antibodies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:57.120,0:31:03.040
from outside. It doesn’t strengthen the&nbsp;
antibodies that the innate immune system</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:03.040,0:31:10.240
generates within. The immune system is just&nbsp;
not given enough time or chance to fight the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:10.240,0:31:17.760
illness with its own natural antibodies.
As a result, in the long run, it gets</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:17.760,0:31:23.600
conditioned not to be able to generate&nbsp;
these antibodies efficiently anymore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:23.600,0:31:29.760
It leads to incrementally reduced immunity&nbsp;
in the mind-body system after taking every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:29.760,0:31:36.000
course of modern pharmaceutical medicine.
Every new relapse of the same condition</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:36.000,0:31:43.680
proves to be more serious than the former,&nbsp;
complicating the treatment more complex each time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:43.680,0:31:50.400
Health deteriorates further!
Lifestyle Diseases:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:50.400,0:31:56.480
Apart from normal acute diseases, there&nbsp;
are more permanent lifestyle diseases too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:56.480,0:32:04.000
migraines | diabetes | hypothyroid |&nbsp;
hyperthyroid | hypertension | heart</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:04.000,0:32:10.800
conditions | acidity | constipation&nbsp;
| obesity | liver cirrhosis | kidney</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:10.800,0:32:16.240
failure | asthma | anxiety |&nbsp;
depression | and many more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:17.040,0:32:23.040
Unfortunately, modern pharmaceutical medicine&nbsp;
doesn’t have any permanent cure for them. It</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:23.040,0:32:29.680
only has a few options to merely manage&nbsp;
the above-listed conditions somehow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:29.680,0:32:34.080
Role of Money:
Significant resources are required</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:34.080,0:32:41.680
in carrying out such monitored tests on sample&nbsp;
sets of patients. ‘Big Pharma’ is the entity that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:41.680,0:32:49.120
funds this research and then has to make it all&nbsp;
back by lobbying for, marketing and force-feeding</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:49.120,0:32:58.160
medicines that only cure symptoms to a populace&nbsp;
that, at best, gets habituated and, at worst, gets</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:58.160,0:33:05.520
addicted to them. It is something like pop music&nbsp;
and popular movies selling way more than classical</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:05.520,0:33:13.920
ones or fast food more than nutritious diet.
Both time and resources go against holistic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:13.920,0:33:20.640
healing procedures. They aren’t effectively&nbsp;
able to carry out monitored tests on large</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:20.640,0:33:26.080
enough sample sizes of patients for a&nbsp;
long enough time. Hence they are at a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:26.080,0:33:33.280
loss to show better statistical results&nbsp;
in a scientifically convincing manner.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:33.280,0:33:38.480
It is very much like the rich becoming&nbsp;
richer even if inefficient, and the poor</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:38.480,0:33:45.200
becoming poorer even if more virtuous.
Healthcare also brings in another</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:45.200,0:33:51.120
big business as a huge commercial&nbsp;
activity called health insurance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:51.920,0:33:58.960
It benefits from people’s fear of falling ill&nbsp;
or else dying prematurely, both of which have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:58.960,0:34:07.120
scary consequences to deal with. There is also&nbsp;
a much costlier fear of losing what one has,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:07.120,0:34:15.040
including one’s business and costly belongings.
In a healthy society supported by strong pillars</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:15.040,0:34:23.760
of closely-knit communities, such fears wouldn’t&nbsp;
have rooted themselves deep enough. But since that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:23.760,0:34:32.400
is not what it is, an individual feels alienated,&nbsp;
scared of being left alone in any such emergency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:33.200,0:34:38.160
The only available option one finds&nbsp;
to feel reasonably safe and secure</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:38.160,0:34:46.800
is a legally binding insurance to take care in&nbsp;
case any such casualty happens. And ironically,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:46.800,0:34:54.080
the agency that provides this feeling of safety&nbsp;
is one of the biggest businesses on earth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:34:54.800,0:35:00.320
Although it does provide the feeing of&nbsp;
a legal safety, the socio-psychological</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:00.320,0:35:07.200
security network is awfully missing.&nbsp;
On top of it, recurring payments for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:07.200,0:35:14.080
various kinds of insurance add up fast to a&nbsp;
considerable sum to part with, every month.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:14.800,0:35:21.360
The insurance companies have the last laugh&nbsp;
with a heavy bank balance at their disposal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:21.360,0:35:29.680
Even after the legal safety is purchased, the&nbsp;
lonely individual mind never sits relaxed!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:29.680,0:35:37.680
It is always the mind that fears. Brain simply&nbsp;
acts in a passionately focused manner if needed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:37.680,0:35:44.880
Sociocultural Root Chakra:&nbsp;
Military-Industrial Complex</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:44.880,0:35:53.200
Army - A Social Institution Licensed to Kill:
Army is one of the most weird&nbsp;social</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:53.200,0:35:58.240
institutions&nbsp;that Homo&nbsp;
sapiens ever built on earth!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:35:58.240,0:36:04.720
Is it possible for a sensitive soldier to kill&nbsp;
an enemy soldier without feeling bad about it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:05.360,0:36:12.240
Killing a man is not like killing an animal.&nbsp;
Had it been so, consuming human flesh could</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:12.240,0:36:20.400
have been a norm like eating animal flesh is.
But we don’t eat our own species simply because</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:20.400,0:36:28.240
we sense a common link among us. Even the thought&nbsp;
of doing so invokes a strong revulsion not only</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:28.240,0:36:35.120
in our mind but in our body too.
Won’t a real killing of a real man</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:35.120,0:36:40.800
invoke a similar reaction in someone&nbsp;
with a normal level of sensitivity?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:40.800,0:36:48.640
It should! It ought to!
Sensitivity Vs Insensitivity:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:48.640,0:36:53.520
If it doesn’t, it simply shows&nbsp;
that the person concerned is not</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:53.520,0:36:59.520
sensitive enough to feel bad about it.
But then, throughout the history of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:36:59.520,0:37:06.640
mankind there have been armies invading&nbsp;
other armies to kill soldiers in wars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:06.640,0:37:12.640
Who are these people who do so and&nbsp;
don’t ever feel a tinge about it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:12.640,0:37:18.480
One can only infer that the human mind can&nbsp;
certainly be trained to become insensitive enough</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:18.480,0:37:25.520
not to feel bad about killing other humans.
But is that a healthy state to achieve?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:26.400,0:37:33.760
What implications will such insensitivity have&nbsp;
on the mental health of the person concerned?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:33.760,0:37:40.080
The real act of love depends on sensitivity&nbsp;
in order for its subtleties to be felt! Will</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:40.080,0:37:47.440
a killer ever be able to love another human&nbsp;
being with all the soft and tender feelings?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:47.440,0:37:49.600
Certainly not!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:49.600,0:37:54.560
His/her act of love would also be&nbsp;
something like an act of winning a war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:37:55.360,0:38:01.360
An Army Against Another Army:
That was from the perspective of an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:01.360,0:38:07.280
individual soldier who is trained to kill.
Let’s ponder upon it from a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:07.280,0:38:13.040
totally different perspective now.
How can the collective humanity justify</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:13.040,0:38:21.840
raising armies aimed at killing other humans?
What turns certain armies enemy to one another?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:21.840,0:38:30.080
Soldiers in the two enemy armies don’t even know&nbsp;
one another, let alone being each other’s enemies!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:30.080,0:38:35.360
The same enemies might have been the best of&nbsp;
friends, had they met one another in different</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:35.360,0:38:41.920
circumstances elsewhere in life.
Why all this enmity?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:41.920,0:38:47.520
And who can guarantee it will continue&nbsp;
like this in the future? On retirement,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:47.520,0:38:54.080
they may settle down in some foreign land and end&nbsp;
up being next door neighbors. They may even turn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:38:54.080,0:39:01.120
out to be passionately fond of each other!
Anything is possible! We just investigated</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:01.120,0:39:06.880
one such hypothetical situation.
Even if some lands are spared being</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:06.880,0:39:14.400
tagged as adversaries by the political bosses, our&nbsp;
sensitivities may never be with them. We may turn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:14.400,0:39:22.240
insensitive to the people residing in those lands.
We inherited this beautiful earth and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:22.240,0:39:29.440
we divided it into countries and&nbsp;
nationalities making it look so ugly!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:29.440,0:39:36.720
In today’s world, this enmity is further&nbsp;
strengthened by mainly two kinds of narratives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:36.720,0:39:42.880
The first one is the border disputes that&nbsp;
generally afflict neighboring nations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:42.880,0:39:48.640
The second narrative has to do with the&nbsp;
ideological differences. Nations tend to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:48.640,0:39:56.080
resist worldviews that affect the kind of society&nbsp;
they have designed for themselves, even if such</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:39:56.080,0:40:03.840
resistance comes from thousands of miles away.
Any suspicious move by one is interpreted as a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:03.840,0:40:09.760
conspiracy on their behalf intending to&nbsp;
devour the very existence of the other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:09.760,0:40:16.960
In such a scenario, every nation is&nbsp;
always in a constant state of paranoia.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:16.960,0:40:23.360
Politicians very well know how to create&nbsp;
narratives benefiting them in strengthening</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:23.360,0:40:30.160
their control on the internal politics of&nbsp;
their own states. They can easily turn them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:30.160,0:40:37.280
as a dangerous threat to their very existence&nbsp;
as a nation. A sprawling wave of fear spreads</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:37.280,0:40:43.600
all over in the minds of its inhabitants who,&nbsp;
then, are ready to unconditionally support</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:43.600,0:40:51.920
their rulers. The armies are alerted, recruiting&nbsp;
more soldiers and purchasing new lethal arms for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:40:51.920,0:41:00.640
them. Everyone shuns their brains, panicking&nbsp;
and acting emotionally in a haphazard manner.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:01.360,0:41:07.360
We have seen it happening all around&nbsp;
the world for various political motives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:07.360,0:41:12.400
Fast Forward to The Present Day:
Let us fast forward to the present</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:12.400,0:41:17.520
day scenario of the state.
The state changed its form in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:17.520,0:41:23.280
almost all countries and nationalities from&nbsp;
feudal kingdoms to the so-called democratic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:23.280,0:41:29.120
republics. They should actually have been&nbsp;
called plutocratic republics instead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:29.840,0:41:37.120
The dominance of resources in the present form of&nbsp;
money still persists as far as formation of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:37.120,0:41:43.520
governments in all countries and nationalities&nbsp;
is concerned. It was only the form of the state</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:43.520,0:41:51.040
that changed, not its essential character.
The cunning and the corrupt are still in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:51.040,0:41:57.920
power in every state of the world. Thanks to&nbsp;
the power of money that gets them elected to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:41:57.920,0:42:05.920
represent millions of people under the mask of&nbsp;
patriotism. This is now an irrefutable fact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:05.920,0:42:09.920
Aesthetic Needs
Arts and entertainment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:09.920,0:42:16.400
networks are social institutions that fall under&nbsp;
sociocultural sacral chakra arising from the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:16.400,0:42:26.320
suppression/ repression of sexual gratification.&nbsp;
The currencies it uses are ‘fame’ and ‘celebrity’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:26.320,0:42:33.920
The growth needs that these institutions&nbsp;
aim to fulfill are aesthetic needs. However,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:33.920,0:42:40.320
these aesthetic needs got corrupted by the&nbsp;
currency of ‘fame’ and ‘celebrity’ into phenomena</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:40.320,0:42:48.400
such as the ‘star system’ in the film industry.
And since the suppression/ repression of sexual</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:48.400,0:42:56.320
gratification was an intensive as well as an&nbsp;
extensive phenomenon, almost everyone looked</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:42:56.320,0:43:05.280
forward to aesthetic experiences either in the&nbsp;
form of a creator or else a consumer. Consuming</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:05.280,0:43:13.520
was way easier than creating aesthetic experiences&nbsp;
offering day-dreams to them. Naturally,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:13.520,0:43:21.920
consumers of such aesthetic experiences found an&nbsp;
element of entertainment in them. As a result,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:21.920,0:43:30.320
such experiences started pulling in huge crowds to&nbsp;
their performances. Their creators and performers</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:30.320,0:43:38.160
started acquiring fame and celebrity resulting in&nbsp;
a special status for them in society. This helped</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:38.160,0:43:46.560
them to not only become rich but also objects&nbsp;
of desire for their consumers. This also helped</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:46.560,0:43:53.360
them in coming out of suppression/ repression of&nbsp;
their sexual gratification. Soon, they started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:43:53.360,0:44:00.640
acquiring a larger than life stature in society,&nbsp;
epitomizing its most sought after desires.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:44:01.520,0:44:09.360
Thus, art, the purpose of which was to fulfill&nbsp;
aesthetic needs got waylaid by the artist and,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:44:09.360,0:44:14.960
consequently, the sociocultural&nbsp;
sacral chakra got closed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:44:14.960,0:44:22.400

Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode,</p>

Welcome back to the 30th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



Today’s episode titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Aesthetic, Physiological and Safety Needs!” will tell you about corruption in industrial complex, big pharma &amp; insurance, military-industrial complex and politics-business nexus.



The first casualty, as was the case with our biology, was the sociocultural root chakra.



As it stands today, closed sociocultural chakras have blocked the human energy right at the lowest level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, namely physiological and safety needs.



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







Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Aesthetic, Physiological and Safety Needs! - Show Notes





In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Wants vs Needs: Corruption of Aesthetic, Physiological and Safety Needs!”, I explore the intricate relationships between socio-cultural institutions and the pervasive corruption that has taken root within them.



Join me as I guide you through a thought experiment inspired by Dr. Albert Einstein, challenging listeners to reflect on the distinctions between needs and wants.&nbsp;



Discover how societal wants have increasingly overshadowed genuine needs, leading to a fragmented understanding of our physiological and safety requirements.



This episode explores the historical evolution of socio-cultural structures, tracing the origins of corruption from the industrial complex to the military-industrial nexus and the intertwining of politics and business.&nbsp;



Learn how the quest for personal ownership and wealth has distorted our priorities, transforming essential needs into mere commodities.



As I discuss the implications of this corruption on our health and well-being, I emphasize the importance of returning to a state of balance and understanding.&nbsp;



I posit that a collective emptying of the mind is necessary to restore genuine health and foster spontaneous decision-making aligned with our true needs.



This thought-provoking episode invites you to consider how the socio-cultural root chakra has been compromised and what steps can be taken to reclaim our health and humanity.



Can we learn to prioritize genuine needs over corrupted wants?&nbsp;

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Weird Sociocultural Evolution Comprising Social Evolution &amp; Cultural Evolution!</strong>” will tell you about sociocultural chakras on the lines of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs turning to wants and thus affecting sociocultural evolution negatively.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">Before we get to the social approach of Skeletal Leap, let us first look at how societies and cultures evolved, from a sociological and anthropological standpoint.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">There have been a number of historical attempts by anthropologists and sociologists to understand how sociocultural evolution takes place.</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Weird Sociocultural Evolution Comprising Social Evolution &amp; Cultural Evolution! - Show Notes </h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap, titled “Weird Sociocultural Evolution Comprising Social Evolution &amp; Cultural Evolution!” I explain the intricate relationship between sociocultural structures and the mind's role in shaping our evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I present a thought-provoking analogy between Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the chakra system, revealing how our societal constructs have been influenced by a fragmented mind's perceptions and fears.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover the historical context of socio cultural evolution, from unilineal to multilineal theories, and explore the emergence of Marxism as a lens for understanding cultural development.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we navigate through the complexities of human nature, I argue for a new perspective on sociocultural evolution: the 'multi unilineal' approach. I examine how our sociocultural institutions, often flawed and harmful, have been erected by a fragmented mind, turning genuine needs into mere wants.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, the episode discusses how the collective fragmented mind can create sociocultural chakras, leading to societal ailments like consumerism and the fragmentation of our consciousness. I emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing these issues to pave the way for a more harmonious existence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode invites you to reflect on the nature of your needs versus wants, and how understanding this distinction can lead to a more fulfilling life.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:01.120,0:00:05.920
As I was building up my case against&nbsp;
our sociocultural structures getting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:05.920,0:00:22.000
erected by the mind, an analogy dawned upon me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:22.000,0:00:26.560
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:26.560,0:00:34.240
A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.240,0:00:39.520
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
sociocultural chakras on the lines of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:39.520,0:00:48.000
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs turning to wants and&nbsp;
thus affecting sociocultural evolution negatively.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:48.640,0:00:53.200
Before we get to the social approach&nbsp;
of Skeletal Leap, let us first look at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:53.200,0:01:00.800
how societies and cultures evolved, from a&nbsp;
sociological and anthropological standpoint.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:00.800,0:01:06.720
There have been a number of historical attempts&nbsp;
by anthropologists and sociologists to understand</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:06.720,0:01:13.920
how sociocultural evolution takes place.&nbsp;
These attempts study how sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:13.920,0:01:21.360
institutions change over time, thus weaving&nbsp;
together different evolutionary theories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:21.360,0:01:28.080
Most of the nineteenth century approaches based&nbsp;
themselves along unilineal evolution. They</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:28.080,0:01:34.160
believed that all of humanity socioculturally&nbsp;
evolved along the same process worldwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:34.800,0:01:40.000
It was only that some of them were ahead&nbsp;
of the rest who would, nevertheless,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:40.000,0:01:47.600
follow them along the same path in times to come.
On the other hand, most of the twentieth century</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:47.600,0:01:54.240
approaches based themselves along multilineal&nbsp;
evolution. They believed that different societies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:54.240,0:02:01.040
evolved along their specific historical&nbsp;
contexts. They rejected the theory that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:01.040,0:02:07.760
every society would be evolving along the&nbsp;
same cultural progress sooner or later.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:07.760,0:02:13.920
They argued that different societies adapted&nbsp;
to their own uniquely different environments,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:13.920,0:02:21.760
technological breakthroughs and outside cultural&nbsp;
influences. Multilineal approach also rejected</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:21.760,0:02:29.520
any similarity between cultural and biological&nbsp;
evolutions. It argued that cultural patterns</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:29.520,0:02:36.960
in far-off lands were genetically unrelated.
But in the latter part of the twentieth century,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:36.960,0:02:44.560
several multilineal anthropologists shifted&nbsp;
their approach. Through numerous incremental</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:44.560,0:02:52.800
shifts in sociocultural hypotheses, they arrived&nbsp;
at Marxism. Marxism made a speedy entry into the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:52.800,0:02:59.680
world of politics adopted by almost half&nbsp;
the population worldwide. The lens that it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:59.680,0:03:07.360
used to look at sociocultural development was&nbsp;
dialectical and historical materialism. But</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:07.360,0:03:13.760
toward the end of the twentieth century, it&nbsp;
started crumbling down under its own weight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:14.480,0:03:21.280
You may know it better as the fall of the&nbsp;
Soviet Union or the falling of the Berlin Wall.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:21.280,0:03:27.280
The most modern twenty-first century&nbsp;
anthropologists have taken another step to reject</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:27.280,0:03:34.880
the very concept of cultural evolution outright.&nbsp;
They are rather exploring new approaches to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:34.880,0:03:42.960
relationship between culture and its environment.&nbsp;
One of them is a general systems approach</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:42.960,0:03:51.920
exploring emergent systems including political,&nbsp;
economic and social interactions among cultures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:51.920,0:03:58.640
As a special mention here, evolutionary biologist&nbsp;
Richard Dawkins came up with his book The Selfish</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:58.640,0:04:07.120
Gene in 1976. Dawkins’ book was voted as the&nbsp;
most influential science book of all time in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:07.120,0:04:16.640
July 2017 on the 30th anniversary of the Royal&nbsp;
Society. He proposed a gene-centered hypothesis of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:16.640,0:04:23.840
sociocultural evolution stating that genetically&nbsp;
related individuals cooperate the best between</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:23.840,0:04:32.080
them. And genes replicate themselves better when&nbsp;
they themselves get benefitted, at times even at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:32.080,0:04:39.200
the cost of the entire organism. ‘Selfish’&nbsp;
replication may model culture successfully</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:39.200,0:04:47.760
via memes that are self-replicating units of&nbsp;
human cultural transmission analogous to genes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:47.760,0:04:52.560
This is where we are, at this moment,&nbsp;
as far as understanding sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:52.560,0:05:00.400
evolution is concerned. And, in my&nbsp;
opinion, this is not sufficient.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:00.400,0:05:06.800
‘Multi-unilineal’ Approach
I think we have missed something very basic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:06.800,0:05:14.800
We either look at sociocultural evolution as being&nbsp;
entirely unilineal or else entirely mutilineal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:14.800,0:05:21.360
Reality looks to be somewhere in between. It very&nbsp;
obviously has always been a combination of both,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:21.360,0:05:28.720
in my opinion. Some parts of it have always been&nbsp;
unilineal, not necessarily through intercultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:28.720,0:05:34.560
interaction but independently evolving on&nbsp;
their own. Some other parts have certainly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:34.560,0:05:41.840
been mutilineal, varying from culture to culture&nbsp;
depending on their specific genetic histories and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:41.840,0:05:49.200
environments. I would like to address them all&nbsp;
with a new inclusive name ‘multi-unilineal’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:49.920,0:05:53.840
Let us look a little deeper into&nbsp;
these multi-unilineal patterns of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:53.840,0:06:01.200
sociocultural evolution all around the world.
These are the patterns that essentially evolved</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:01.200,0:06:08.320
almost the same way, yet slightly differently,&nbsp;
in their local hues throughout the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:09.120,0:06:15.360
Surprisingly enough, all our sociocultural&nbsp;
institutions have majorly been erected by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:15.360,0:06:22.720
the mind and not through the dictates of the&nbsp;
brain alone. The brain had worked independently</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:22.720,0:06:30.320
when it devised wearing leather and burning&nbsp;
fire to ward off cold and cook food. The same</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:30.320,0:06:37.440
was true of inhabiting caves and inventing&nbsp;
languages. And these were four supremely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:37.440,0:06:46.320
intelligent inventions that all tribes and races&nbsp;
arrived at in differently similar ways globally.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:46.320,0:06:51.840
But the sociocultural structures erected&nbsp;
by the mind were unfortunately not so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:51.840,0:06:59.760
intelligent. They were flawed at best&nbsp;
and harmful at worst in their design.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:00.560,0:07:05.760
And why it happened so was because the&nbsp;
mind subjectively attached itself to its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:05.760,0:07:15.120
faulty apprehensions of threat to life, in other&nbsp;
words to its self-preservative instincts. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:15.120,0:07:21.760
it cunningly took control of the brain’s activity&nbsp;
in its fearful stupidity, thereby turning human</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:21.760,0:07:31.040
needs into wants. All these structures were&nbsp;
multi-unilenial in their evolutionary process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:31.040,0:07:35.920
Sociocultural Chakras
As I was building up my</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:35.920,0:07:44.800
case against our sociocultural structures getting&nbsp;
erected by the mind, an analogy dawned upon me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:44.800,0:07:52.240
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Before I come to the analogy, let us take a little</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:52.240,0:08:01.680
detour. Abraham Maslow came up with ‘A Theory&nbsp;
of Human Motivation’ in the year 1943. Later,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.680,0:08:10.000
he refined it in ‘Motivation and Personality’ in&nbsp;
1954 introducing Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:10.000,0:08:15.760
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs comprises&nbsp;
physiological needs, safety, love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:15.760,0:08:22.480
and belonging and esteem as deficiency&nbsp;
needs, and cognition as a growth need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:23.600,0:08:31.520
Growth needs further include aesthetic,&nbsp;
self-actualization and transcendence needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:31.520,0:08:38.800
And now, let’s come back to my analogy. I&nbsp;
find that the lowest two deficiency needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:38.800,0:08:44.800
namely “physiological needs” and “safety needs”,&nbsp;
are parallel to the concerns of the root chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:44.800,0:08:51.760
within the chakra system. The third need from&nbsp;
the bottom, “love and belonging”, parallels</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:51.760,0:09:00.800
the heart chakra. The fourth deficiency need,&nbsp;
“esteem”, is akin to the throat chakra.&nbsp;Moving</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:00.800,0:09:08.400
to Maslow’s growth needs, “cognitive needs”&nbsp;
parallel solar plexus chakra while “aesthetic”,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:08.400,0:09:15.680
“self-actualization” and “transcendence”&nbsp;
needs find their chakra equivalents in sacral,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:15.680,0:09:23.600
third-eye and crown chakras, respectively.
Now that we have established that Maslow’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:23.600,0:09:28.640
Hierarchy of Needs is analogous to&nbsp;
the chakra system, I would like to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:28.640,0:09:36.480
bring our attention to a second analogy.
We know that an individual autonomous mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:36.480,0:09:42.720
generates closed biological chakras in the&nbsp;
human body by corrupting skeletal anatomy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:43.280,0:09:49.760
I asked myself if a collective autonomous&nbsp;
mind could have generated similarly closed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.760,0:09:55.520
sociocultural chakras in human society.&nbsp;
The modus operandi could have been the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:55.520,0:10:03.040
corruption of social needs into societal wants.
Things started getting distorted since the very</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:03.040,0:10:12.400
beginning of our evolution into Homo sapiens. It&nbsp;
all started with pursuing cognitive needs. We,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:12.400,0:10:20.720
as a society, cognized reality within what was a&nbsp;
suffocating environment dotted with threats and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:20.720,0:10:29.840
challenges. And that perceived reality continues&nbsp;
till date. Humanity is yet to take a sigh of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:29.840,0:10:38.400
relief, thereby seriously corrupting its breathing&nbsp;
pattern. It was this corruption that gave birth to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:38.400,0:10:46.080
a blocked sociocultural solar plexus chakra.&nbsp;
Acting out of the mind’s fearful perception</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:46.080,0:10:53.520
of so-called threats and challenges, humanity has&nbsp;
always been in a hurry to control the environment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:53.520,0:11:01.040
which is a mirage in itself. Just like the solar&nbsp;
plexus charka leads to asthma and other diseases</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:01.040,0:11:08.720
in the body, this sociocultural solar plexus&nbsp;
chakra, i.e., hurry to control the environment,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:08.720,0:11:17.440
gives rise to social ‘diseases’ such as the ‘rat&nbsp;
race’. And thus, humanity handed over the reins</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:17.440,0:11:25.920
of cognition to its collective autonomous mind&nbsp;
instead of a spontaneous collective brain. We know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:25.920,0:11:33.200
that an open solar plexus chakra means renewing&nbsp;
the brain continuously and thus energizing it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:33.200,0:11:41.760
cyclically. Unfortunately for us, since our&nbsp;
sociocultural solar plexus chakra got closed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:41.760,0:11:50.640
it left the collective autonomous mind stuck at&nbsp;
its aggressive cognitive wants rather than needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:50.640,0:11:58.320
These wants individualized personal ownership of&nbsp;
resources used to fulfill genuine social needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:58.320,0:12:06.640
before. As this personal ownership of resources&nbsp;
assumes a bigger-than-necessary stature, social</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:06.640,0:12:15.360
needs start turning into personal wants. Needs are&nbsp;
the realm of the brain while the mind is the abode</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:15.360,0:12:23.280
of wants. Thus, they get corrupted and end up in&nbsp;
sociocultural chakras in the hands of a collective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:23.280,0:12:32.880
autonomous mind. After all, human society is just&nbsp;
a collective extension of multiple human bodies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:32.880,0:12:39.280
And these sociocultural chakras would tend to&nbsp;
block collective human energy flow exactly like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:39.280,0:12:47.840
biological chakras block individual energy flow.
Let us now combine the above two analogies,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:47.840,0:12:54.480
i.e. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs&nbsp;
vis-a-vis chakra system + sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:54.480,0:13:01.280
chakras mirroring individual chakras.
When individual energy flow gets blocked</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:01.280,0:13:09.600
at the base of the chakra system, it results in a&nbsp;
closed root chakra. Similarly, when the collective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:09.600,0:13:16.640
human energy flow gets blocked at the base of the&nbsp;
chakra equivalent in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:16.640,0:13:25.360
it does so at the lowest two levels of social&nbsp;
needs, i.e., physiological and safety needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:25.360,0:13:31.520
Same would be true about the deficiency needs&nbsp;
of love and belonging and esteem needs as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:32.320,0:13:39.040
It is my contention that we, Homo sapiens,&nbsp;
find ourselves today struggling with an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:39.040,0:13:47.200
imbalance in the mind-brain equilibrium as we&nbsp;
go along Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs from the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:47.200,0:13:53.360
lowest (physiological) deficiency needs to the&nbsp;
highest (transcendence) growth needs. Individuals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:53.360,0:14:01.280
and societies that are stuck in making ends meet,&nbsp;
i.e., meeting their physiological needs, tend to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:01.280,0:14:09.360
operate primarily from the brain. As they ‘climb’&nbsp;
up the Hierarchy and their deficiency needs are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:09.360,0:14:17.280
met, a major shift seems to occur. This is where&nbsp;
the mind starts taking over and the brain’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:17.280,0:14:23.760
functionality starts getting stunted inflicting&nbsp;
the lower chakras as well, along with the higher</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:23.760,0:14:33.840
ones. In other words, needs start yielding to&nbsp;
wants. It is no surprise, then, that most of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:33.840,0:14:41.120
the growth needs are governed by the concerns&nbsp;
of the mind way more than those of the brain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:41.120,0:14:47.680
Real Needs Overshadowed by Greedy Wants
This had its debilitating effect on the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:47.680,0:14:53.600
sociocultural equivalent of sacral&nbsp;
chakra, namely aesthetic needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:53.600,0:15:02.480
as well. And it did so by negatively affecting the&nbsp;
quality of sex that humanity was meant to enjoy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:02.480,0:15:09.600
When sex gets frustrated, it tends to take&nbsp;
refuge in its sublimation through arts in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:09.600,0:15:18.560
creative and aesthetic pursuits. This sublimation&nbsp;
is the handiwork of none other than the mind!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:18.560,0:15:25.040
In the process of sublimation, however, the mind&nbsp;
does lose a little bit of its control as emotions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:25.040,0:15:31.120
give way to passion and sexual frustration&nbsp;
yields to a broader creative perception.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:32.000,0:15:38.560
This works, but only partially, as a therapeutic&nbsp;
process that addresses the aesthetic needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:38.560,0:15:47.360
in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs at an individual&nbsp;
level. In society, this partial therapy addresses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:47.360,0:15:55.040
this sociocultural sacral chakra in the form of&nbsp;
cinema, poetry and other artistic expressions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:55.760,0:16:01.600
However, the unaddressed part of this chakra&nbsp;
results in the social disease that we know as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:01.600,0:16:10.160
‘consumerism’. And we have even given it&nbsp;
a rather ironic name, ‘retail therapy’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:10.160,0:16:18.320
No wonder slogans like “the more, the better”&nbsp;
appear to provide solace to our frustrations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:18.320,0:16:25.200
Moving higher along the Hierarchy, the growth&nbsp;
need of self actualization aims at discovering</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:25.200,0:16:32.320
one’s inherent talents and developing them&nbsp;
further. It results in achieving one’s full</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:32.320,0:16:40.000
potential as far as socially productive soft&nbsp;
skills are concerned. This is synonymous with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:40.000,0:16:47.360
the concerns of the third eye chakra. However,&nbsp;
once corrupted by the mind at a social level,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:47.360,0:16:53.440
it leads to an analogous collective third eye&nbsp;
charka resulting in social ‘diseases’ such as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:53.440,0:17:00.400
‘professional qualifications’ as a want&nbsp;
that is detached from the original need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:00.400,0:17:05.600
Transcendence needs are the ultimate that&nbsp;
an individual in a society can cultivate,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:05.600,0:17:13.440
giving oneself to something beyond oneself. It&nbsp;
enables one to create one’s personal heaven for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:13.440,0:17:23.120
oneself. At a social level, it parallels the&nbsp;
sociocultural crown chakra which, when closed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:23.120,0:17:30.560
leads to the social malaise of ‘acute&nbsp;
insensitivity’. Consequently, opening this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:30.560,0:17:38.320
chakra sets the highest levels of collective&nbsp;
human consciousness. Simultaneously, it sets</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:38.320,0:17:46.640
all the lower chakras open as well, automatically&nbsp;
addressing their related sociocultural ailments.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:46.640,0:17:52.400
This has the potential to turn human&nbsp;
life on earth into a collective heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:53.120,0:18:01.440
However, in reality, the collective mind fragments&nbsp;
itself exactly like the individual biological mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:01.440,0:18:09.440
and, thus, belittles every single real need in&nbsp;
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and, by extension,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:09.440,0:18:16.240
its analogous sociocultural chakra.
When it comes to our collective needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:16.240,0:18:22.640
human societies use various ‘currencies’ to enable&nbsp;
exchange of these needs between their individuals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:22.640,0:18:30.640
or groups. It is these currencies that we used to&nbsp;
fulfill real needs which later started assuming</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:30.640,0:18:39.120
bigger stature in an individual mind, shifting&nbsp;
the focus from needs to wants. As a result, those</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:39.120,0:18:45.280
currencies got corrupted away from their original&nbsp;
purpose and became ends in themselves as opposed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:45.280,0:18:52.880
to serving as mere means toward the ends which&nbsp;
have always remained as those underlying needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:52.880,0:18:59.280
These corrupted currencies have led to&nbsp;
several institutions in our societies that,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:59.280,0:19:06.880
I contend, are the physical manifestations&nbsp;
of the underlying sociocultural chakras.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:06.880,0:19:13.520
Within the construct that I have presented above,&nbsp;
we can now look at sociocultural evolution in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:13.520,0:19:20.080
light of genuine needs getting usurped by the&nbsp;
mere wants for their corrupted currencies.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap, titled “Weird Sociocultural Evolution Comprising Social Evolution &amp; Cultural Evolution!” I explain the intricate relationship between sociocultural structures and the mind's role in shaping our evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I present a thought-provoking analogy between Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the chakra system, revealing how our societal constructs have been influenced by a fragmented mind's perceptions and fears.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover the historical context of socio cultural evolution, from unilineal to multilineal theories, and explore the emergence of Marxism as a lens for understanding cultural development.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we navigate through the complexities of human nature, I argue for a new perspective on sociocultural evolution: the 'multi unilineal' approach. I examine how our sociocultural institutions, often flawed and harmful, have been erected by a fragmented mind, turning genuine needs into mere wants.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, the episode discusses how the collective fragmented mind can create sociocultural chakras, leading to societal ailments like consumerism and the fragmentation of our consciousness. I emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing these issues to pave the way for a more harmonious existence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode invites you to reflect on the nature of your needs versus wants, and how understanding this distinction can lead to a more fulfilling life.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:01.120,0:00:05.920
As I was building up my case against&nbsp;
our sociocultural structures getting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:05.920,0:00:22.000
erected by the mind, an analogy dawned upon me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:22.000,0:00:26.560
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:26.560,0:00:34.240
A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.240,0:00:39.520
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
sociocultural chakras on the lines of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:39.520,0:00:48.000
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs turning to wants and&nbsp;
thus affecting sociocultural evolution negatively.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:48.640,0:00:53.200
Before we get to the social approach&nbsp;
of Skeletal Leap, let us first look at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:53.200,0:01:00.800
how societies and cultures evolved, from a&nbsp;
sociological and anthropological standpoint.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:00.800,0:01:06.720
There have been a number of historical attempts&nbsp;
by anthropologists and sociologists to understand</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:06.720,0:01:13.920
how sociocultural evolution takes place.&nbsp;
These attempts study how sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:13.920,0:01:21.360
institutions change over time, thus weaving&nbsp;
together different evolutionary theories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:21.360,0:01:28.080
Most of the nineteenth century approaches based&nbsp;
themselves along unilineal evolution. They</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:28.080,0:01:34.160
believed that all of humanity socioculturally&nbsp;
evolved along the same process worldwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:34.800,0:01:40.000
It was only that some of them were ahead&nbsp;
of the rest who would, nevertheless,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:40.000,0:01:47.600
follow them along the same path in times to come.
On the other hand, most of the twentieth century</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:47.600,0:01:54.240
approaches based themselves along multilineal&nbsp;
evolution. They believed that different societies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:54.240,0:02:01.040
evolved along their specific historical&nbsp;
contexts. They rejected the theory that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:01.040,0:02:07.760
every society would be evolving along the&nbsp;
same cultural progress sooner or later.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:07.760,0:02:13.920
They argued that different societies adapted&nbsp;
to their own uniquely different environments,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:13.920,0:02:21.760
technological breakthroughs and outside cultural&nbsp;
influences. Multilineal approach also rejected</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:21.760,0:02:29.520
any similarity between cultural and biological&nbsp;
evolutions. It argued that cultural patterns</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:29.520,0:02:36.960
in far-off lands were genetically unrelated.
But in the latter part of the twentieth century,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:36.960,0:02:44.560
several multilineal anthropologists shifted&nbsp;
their approach. Through numerous incremental</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:44.560,0:02:52.800
shifts in sociocultural hypotheses, they arrived&nbsp;
at Marxism. Marxism made a speedy entry into the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:52.800,0:02:59.680
world of politics adopted by almost half&nbsp;
the population worldwide. The lens that it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:59.680,0:03:07.360
used to look at sociocultural development was&nbsp;
dialectical and historical materialism. But</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:07.360,0:03:13.760
toward the end of the twentieth century, it&nbsp;
started crumbling down under its own weight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:14.480,0:03:21.280
You may know it better as the fall of the&nbsp;
Soviet Union or the falling of the Berlin Wall.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:21.280,0:03:27.280
The most modern twenty-first century&nbsp;
anthropologists have taken another step to reject</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:27.280,0:03:34.880
the very concept of cultural evolution outright.&nbsp;
They are rather exploring new approaches to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:34.880,0:03:42.960
relationship between culture and its environment.&nbsp;
One of them is a general systems approach</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:42.960,0:03:51.920
exploring emergent systems including political,&nbsp;
economic and social interactions among cultures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:51.920,0:03:58.640
As a special mention here, evolutionary biologist&nbsp;
Richard Dawkins came up with his book The Selfish</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:58.640,0:04:07.120
Gene in 1976. Dawkins’ book was voted as the&nbsp;
most influential science book of all time in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:07.120,0:04:16.640
July 2017 on the 30th anniversary of the Royal&nbsp;
Society. He proposed a gene-centered hypothesis of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:16.640,0:04:23.840
sociocultural evolution stating that genetically&nbsp;
related individuals cooperate the best between</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:23.840,0:04:32.080
them. And genes replicate themselves better when&nbsp;
they themselves get benefitted, at times even at</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:32.080,0:04:39.200
the cost of the entire organism. ‘Selfish’&nbsp;
replication may model culture successfully</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:39.200,0:04:47.760
via memes that are self-replicating units of&nbsp;
human cultural transmission analogous to genes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:47.760,0:04:52.560
This is where we are, at this moment,&nbsp;
as far as understanding sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:52.560,0:05:00.400
evolution is concerned. And, in my&nbsp;
opinion, this is not sufficient.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:00.400,0:05:06.800
‘Multi-unilineal’ Approach
I think we have missed something very basic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:06.800,0:05:14.800
We either look at sociocultural evolution as being&nbsp;
entirely unilineal or else entirely mutilineal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:14.800,0:05:21.360
Reality looks to be somewhere in between. It very&nbsp;
obviously has always been a combination of both,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:21.360,0:05:28.720
in my opinion. Some parts of it have always been&nbsp;
unilineal, not necessarily through intercultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:28.720,0:05:34.560
interaction but independently evolving on&nbsp;
their own. Some other parts have certainly</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:34.560,0:05:41.840
been mutilineal, varying from culture to culture&nbsp;
depending on their specific genetic histories and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:41.840,0:05:49.200
environments. I would like to address them all&nbsp;
with a new inclusive name ‘multi-unilineal’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:49.920,0:05:53.840
Let us look a little deeper into&nbsp;
these multi-unilineal patterns of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:53.840,0:06:01.200
sociocultural evolution all around the world.
These are the patterns that essentially evolved</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:01.200,0:06:08.320
almost the same way, yet slightly differently,&nbsp;
in their local hues throughout the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:09.120,0:06:15.360
Surprisingly enough, all our sociocultural&nbsp;
institutions have majorly been erected by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:15.360,0:06:22.720
the mind and not through the dictates of the&nbsp;
brain alone. The brain had worked independently</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:22.720,0:06:30.320
when it devised wearing leather and burning&nbsp;
fire to ward off cold and cook food. The same</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:30.320,0:06:37.440
was true of inhabiting caves and inventing&nbsp;
languages. And these were four supremely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:37.440,0:06:46.320
intelligent inventions that all tribes and races&nbsp;
arrived at in differently similar ways globally.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:46.320,0:06:51.840
But the sociocultural structures erected&nbsp;
by the mind were unfortunately not so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:51.840,0:06:59.760
intelligent. They were flawed at best&nbsp;
and harmful at worst in their design.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:00.560,0:07:05.760
And why it happened so was because the&nbsp;
mind subjectively attached itself to its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:05.760,0:07:15.120
faulty apprehensions of threat to life, in other&nbsp;
words to its self-preservative instincts. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:15.120,0:07:21.760
it cunningly took control of the brain’s activity&nbsp;
in its fearful stupidity, thereby turning human</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:21.760,0:07:31.040
needs into wants. All these structures were&nbsp;
multi-unilenial in their evolutionary process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:31.040,0:07:35.920
Sociocultural Chakras
As I was building up my</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:35.920,0:07:44.800
case against our sociocultural structures getting&nbsp;
erected by the mind, an analogy dawned upon me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:44.800,0:07:52.240
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Before I come to the analogy, let us take a little</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:52.240,0:08:01.680
detour. Abraham Maslow came up with ‘A Theory&nbsp;
of Human Motivation’ in the year 1943. Later,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.680,0:08:10.000
he refined it in ‘Motivation and Personality’ in&nbsp;
1954 introducing Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:10.000,0:08:15.760
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs comprises&nbsp;
physiological needs, safety, love</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:15.760,0:08:22.480
and belonging and esteem as deficiency&nbsp;
needs, and cognition as a growth need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:23.600,0:08:31.520
Growth needs further include aesthetic,&nbsp;
self-actualization and transcendence needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:31.520,0:08:38.800
And now, let’s come back to my analogy. I&nbsp;
find that the lowest two deficiency needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:38.800,0:08:44.800
namely “physiological needs” and “safety needs”,&nbsp;
are parallel to the concerns of the root chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:44.800,0:08:51.760
within the chakra system. The third need from&nbsp;
the bottom, “love and belonging”, parallels</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:51.760,0:09:00.800
the heart chakra. The fourth deficiency need,&nbsp;
“esteem”, is akin to the throat chakra.&nbsp;Moving</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:00.800,0:09:08.400
to Maslow’s growth needs, “cognitive needs”&nbsp;
parallel solar plexus chakra while “aesthetic”,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:08.400,0:09:15.680
“self-actualization” and “transcendence”&nbsp;
needs find their chakra equivalents in sacral,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:15.680,0:09:23.600
third-eye and crown chakras, respectively.
Now that we have established that Maslow’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:23.600,0:09:28.640
Hierarchy of Needs is analogous to&nbsp;
the chakra system, I would like to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:28.640,0:09:36.480
bring our attention to a second analogy.
We know that an individual autonomous mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:36.480,0:09:42.720
generates closed biological chakras in the&nbsp;
human body by corrupting skeletal anatomy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:43.280,0:09:49.760
I asked myself if a collective autonomous&nbsp;
mind could have generated similarly closed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.760,0:09:55.520
sociocultural chakras in human society.&nbsp;
The modus operandi could have been the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:55.520,0:10:03.040
corruption of social needs into societal wants.
Things started getting distorted since the very</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:03.040,0:10:12.400
beginning of our evolution into Homo sapiens. It&nbsp;
all started with pursuing cognitive needs. We,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:12.400,0:10:20.720
as a society, cognized reality within what was a&nbsp;
suffocating environment dotted with threats and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:20.720,0:10:29.840
challenges. And that perceived reality continues&nbsp;
till date. Humanity is yet to take a sigh of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:29.840,0:10:38.400
relief, thereby seriously corrupting its breathing&nbsp;
pattern. It was this corruption that gave birth to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:38.400,0:10:46.080
a blocked sociocultural solar plexus chakra.&nbsp;
Acting out of the mind’s fearful perception</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:46.080,0:10:53.520
of so-called threats and challenges, humanity has&nbsp;
always been in a hurry to control the environment</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:53.520,0:11:01.040
which is a mirage in itself. Just like the solar&nbsp;
plexus charka leads to asthma and other diseases</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:01.040,0:11:08.720
in the body, this sociocultural solar plexus&nbsp;
chakra, i.e., hurry to control the environment,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:08.720,0:11:17.440
gives rise to social ‘diseases’ such as the ‘rat&nbsp;
race’. And thus, humanity handed over the reins</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:17.440,0:11:25.920
of cognition to its collective autonomous mind&nbsp;
instead of a spontaneous collective brain. We know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:25.920,0:11:33.200
that an open solar plexus chakra means renewing&nbsp;
the brain continuously and thus energizing it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:33.200,0:11:41.760
cyclically. Unfortunately for us, since our&nbsp;
sociocultural solar plexus chakra got closed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:41.760,0:11:50.640
it left the collective autonomous mind stuck at&nbsp;
its aggressive cognitive wants rather than needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:50.640,0:11:58.320
These wants individualized personal ownership of&nbsp;
resources used to fulfill genuine social needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:58.320,0:12:06.640
before. As this personal ownership of resources&nbsp;
assumes a bigger-than-necessary stature, social</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:06.640,0:12:15.360
needs start turning into personal wants. Needs are&nbsp;
the realm of the brain while the mind is the abode</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:15.360,0:12:23.280
of wants. Thus, they get corrupted and end up in&nbsp;
sociocultural chakras in the hands of a collective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:23.280,0:12:32.880
autonomous mind. After all, human society is just&nbsp;
a collective extension of multiple human bodies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:32.880,0:12:39.280
And these sociocultural chakras would tend to&nbsp;
block collective human energy flow exactly like</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:39.280,0:12:47.840
biological chakras block individual energy flow.
Let us now combine the above two analogies,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:47.840,0:12:54.480
i.e. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs&nbsp;
vis-a-vis chakra system + sociocultural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:54.480,0:13:01.280
chakras mirroring individual chakras.
When individual energy flow gets blocked</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:01.280,0:13:09.600
at the base of the chakra system, it results in a&nbsp;
closed root chakra. Similarly, when the collective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:09.600,0:13:16.640
human energy flow gets blocked at the base of the&nbsp;
chakra equivalent in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:16.640,0:13:25.360
it does so at the lowest two levels of social&nbsp;
needs, i.e., physiological and safety needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:25.360,0:13:31.520
Same would be true about the deficiency needs&nbsp;
of love and belonging and esteem needs as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:32.320,0:13:39.040
It is my contention that we, Homo sapiens,&nbsp;
find ourselves today struggling with an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:39.040,0:13:47.200
imbalance in the mind-brain equilibrium as we&nbsp;
go along Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs from the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:47.200,0:13:53.360
lowest (physiological) deficiency needs to the&nbsp;
highest (transcendence) growth needs. Individuals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:53.360,0:14:01.280
and societies that are stuck in making ends meet,&nbsp;
i.e., meeting their physiological needs, tend to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:01.280,0:14:09.360
operate primarily from the brain. As they ‘climb’&nbsp;
up the Hierarchy and their deficiency needs are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:09.360,0:14:17.280
met, a major shift seems to occur. This is where&nbsp;
the mind starts taking over and the brain’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:17.280,0:14:23.760
functionality starts getting stunted inflicting&nbsp;
the lower chakras as well, along with the higher</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:23.760,0:14:33.840
ones. In other words, needs start yielding to&nbsp;
wants. It is no surprise, then, that most of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:33.840,0:14:41.120
the growth needs are governed by the concerns&nbsp;
of the mind way more than those of the brain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:41.120,0:14:47.680
Real Needs Overshadowed by Greedy Wants
This had its debilitating effect on the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:47.680,0:14:53.600
sociocultural equivalent of sacral&nbsp;
chakra, namely aesthetic needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:53.600,0:15:02.480
as well. And it did so by negatively affecting the&nbsp;
quality of sex that humanity was meant to enjoy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:02.480,0:15:09.600
When sex gets frustrated, it tends to take&nbsp;
refuge in its sublimation through arts in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:09.600,0:15:18.560
creative and aesthetic pursuits. This sublimation&nbsp;
is the handiwork of none other than the mind!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:18.560,0:15:25.040
In the process of sublimation, however, the mind&nbsp;
does lose a little bit of its control as emotions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:25.040,0:15:31.120
give way to passion and sexual frustration&nbsp;
yields to a broader creative perception.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:32.000,0:15:38.560
This works, but only partially, as a therapeutic&nbsp;
process that addresses the aesthetic needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:38.560,0:15:47.360
in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs at an individual&nbsp;
level. In society, this partial therapy addresses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:47.360,0:15:55.040
this sociocultural sacral chakra in the form of&nbsp;
cinema, poetry and other artistic expressions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:55.760,0:16:01.600
However, the unaddressed part of this chakra&nbsp;
results in the social disease that we know as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:01.600,0:16:10.160
‘consumerism’. And we have even given it&nbsp;
a rather ironic name, ‘retail therapy’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:10.160,0:16:18.320
No wonder slogans like “the more, the better”&nbsp;
appear to provide solace to our frustrations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:18.320,0:16:25.200
Moving higher along the Hierarchy, the growth&nbsp;
need of self actualization aims at discovering</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:25.200,0:16:32.320
one’s inherent talents and developing them&nbsp;
further. It results in achieving one’s full</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:32.320,0:16:40.000
potential as far as socially productive soft&nbsp;
skills are concerned. This is synonymous with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:40.000,0:16:47.360
the concerns of the third eye chakra. However,&nbsp;
once corrupted by the mind at a social level,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:47.360,0:16:53.440
it leads to an analogous collective third eye&nbsp;
charka resulting in social ‘diseases’ such as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:53.440,0:17:00.400
‘professional qualifications’ as a want&nbsp;
that is detached from the original need.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:00.400,0:17:05.600
Transcendence needs are the ultimate that&nbsp;
an individual in a society can cultivate,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:05.600,0:17:13.440
giving oneself to something beyond oneself. It&nbsp;
enables one to create one’s personal heaven for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:13.440,0:17:23.120
oneself. At a social level, it parallels the&nbsp;
sociocultural crown chakra which, when closed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:23.120,0:17:30.560
leads to the social malaise of ‘acute&nbsp;
insensitivity’. Consequently, opening this</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:30.560,0:17:38.320
chakra sets the highest levels of collective&nbsp;
human consciousness. Simultaneously, it sets</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:38.320,0:17:46.640
all the lower chakras open as well, automatically&nbsp;
addressing their related sociocultural ailments.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:46.640,0:17:52.400
This has the potential to turn human&nbsp;
life on earth into a collective heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:53.120,0:18:01.440
However, in reality, the collective mind fragments&nbsp;
itself exactly like the individual biological mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:01.440,0:18:09.440
and, thus, belittles every single real need in&nbsp;
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and, by extension,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:09.440,0:18:16.240
its analogous sociocultural chakra.
When it comes to our collective needs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:16.240,0:18:22.640
human societies use various ‘currencies’ to enable&nbsp;
exchange of these needs between their individuals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:22.640,0:18:30.640
or groups. It is these currencies that we used to&nbsp;
fulfill real needs which later started assuming</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:30.640,0:18:39.120
bigger stature in an individual mind, shifting&nbsp;
the focus from needs to wants. As a result, those</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:39.120,0:18:45.280
currencies got corrupted away from their original&nbsp;
purpose and became ends in themselves as opposed</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:45.280,0:18:52.880
to serving as mere means toward the ends which&nbsp;
have always remained as those underlying needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:52.880,0:18:59.280
These corrupted currencies have led to&nbsp;
several institutions in our societies that,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:59.280,0:19:06.880
I contend, are the physical manifestations&nbsp;
of the underlying sociocultural chakras.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:06.880,0:19:13.520
Within the construct that I have presented above,&nbsp;
we can now look at sociocultural evolution in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:13.520,0:19:20.080
light of genuine needs getting usurped by the&nbsp;
mere wants for their corrupted currencies.</p>

Today’s episode titled “Weird Sociocultural Evolution Comprising Social Evolution &amp; Cultural Evolution!” will tell you about sociocultural chakras on the lines of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs turning to wants and thus affecting sociocultural evolution negatively.



Before we get to the social approach of Skeletal Leap, let us first look at how societies and cultures evolved, from a sociological and anthropological standpoint.



There have been a number of historical attempts by anthropologists and sociologists to understand how sociocultural evolution takes place.





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







Weird Sociocultural Evolution Comprising Social Evolution &amp; Cultural Evolution! - Show Notes 





In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap, titled “Weird Sociocultural Evolution Comprising Social Evolution &amp; Cultural Evolution!” I explain the intricate relationship between sociocultural structures and the mind's role in shaping our evolution.



Join me as I present a thought-provoking analogy between Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the chakra system, revealing how our societal constructs have been influenced by a fragmented mind's perceptions and fears.&nbsp;



Discover the historical context of socio cultural evolution, from unilineal to multilineal theories, and explore the emergence of Marxism as a lens for understanding cultural development.



As we navigate through the complexities of human nature, I argue for a new perspective on sociocultural evolution: the 'multi unilineal' approach. I examine how our sociocultural institutions, often flawed and harmful, have been erected by a fragmented mind, turning genuine needs into mere wants.



Furthermore, the episode discusses how the collective fragmented mind can create sociocultural chakras, leading to societal ailments like consumerism and the fragmentation of our consciousness. I emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing these issues to pave the way for a more harmonious existence.



This episode invites you to reflect on the nature of your needs versus wants, and how understanding this distinction can lead to a more fulfilling life.&nbsp;

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 28th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “Homosapiens: Ultimate Gains and Losses to Date!” will tell you about human achievements vs losses through homo sapiens bipedal evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We humans have been extremely successful in achieving an unchallenged control over the planet we live on, something none of the other 8.7 million living species could even dream of.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Homo sapiens are ruling the planet at present like dinosaurs once did.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a species, we have made immense progress in creating tools that gave us the power to establish the said control.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap, titled “Homo Sapiens: Ultimate Gains and Losses to Date,” I explore the remarkable yet tumultuous path of human evolution and the consequences of our advancements.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I dive deep into the duality of human achievements versus losses throughout our bipedal evolution. Discover how Homo sapiens have gained unprecedented control over the planet, surpassing the capabilities of our fellow species, yet simultaneously sowing the seeds of our own potential demise.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the dawn of tool-making to the rise of complex societal structures, learn how our superior communication skills and abstract thinking have propelled us forward. However, this journey has not been without its pitfalls; the very myths we created to unite us have also led to fragmentation and conflict.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we stand on the brink of irreversible climate change, I challenge my species to confront the greed and fear that have driven our unsustainable progress. I emphasize the urgent need for a shift in our collective mindset—from competition to cooperation, from a fragmented mind to a unified consciousness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode invites you to reflect on our collective responsibility and the power of an empty mind in fostering genuine understanding and action. Can we learn from our past mistakes and pave the way for a sustainable future?&nbsp;</p>

A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.400,0:00:36.880
Today’s episode will tell you about human</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:36.880,0:00:42.560
achievements vs losses through&nbsp;
homo sapiens bipedal evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:42.560,0:00:48.320
We humans have been extremely successful in&nbsp;
achieving an unchallenged control over the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:48.320,0:00:55.600
planet we live on, something none of the other&nbsp;
8.7 million living species could even dream of.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:56.240,0:01:02.080
Homo sapiens are ruling the planet&nbsp;
at present like dinosaurs once did.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:02.080,0:01:08.240
As a species, we have made immense progress in&nbsp;
creating tools that gave us the power to establish</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:08.240,0:01:15.440
the said control. The tools kept getting more and&nbsp;
more sophisticated as did our brain’s ability to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:15.440,0:01:23.520
think in abstraction. We, the sapiens, had&nbsp;
another exclusive advantage at our behest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:24.240,0:01:29.520
We could communicate much better with one&nbsp;
another through the use of our language that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:29.520,0:01:37.040
was way superior to that of other Homo species.&nbsp;
Hence we were better able to cooperate in groups</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:37.040,0:01:43.200
while fighting with our competitors for the&nbsp;
purpose of dominance over them. Neanderthals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:43.200,0:01:48.560
who were physically stronger and other Homo&nbsp;
species could not do it so effectively among</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:48.560,0:01:55.600
themselves and slowly went out of existence.&nbsp;
It was then that the Homo sapiens discovered</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:55.600,0:02:02.480
the power of the mind in creating mythological&nbsp;
stories, thanks to their superior language. And</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:02.480,0:02:11.920
then, they soon started believing in them! As&nbsp;
this happened, it acted as a double-edged sword.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:11.920,0:02:18.480
It started imparting an autonomous status to the&nbsp;
mind as separate from a reviewer of the brain’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:18.480,0:02:26.800
perception and action. It helped the Homo sapiens,&nbsp;
driven by their fictitious beliefs, to start</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:26.800,0:02:34.880
cooperating in bigger and bigger groups to achieve&nbsp;
dominance over the planet as a species. But then,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.880,0:02:42.480
humanity didn’t stop over there. It allowed these&nbsp;
fictitious beliefs to turn into a unique kind of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:42.480,0:02:50.480
auto-immune disease, not of the individual but of&nbsp;
society. A disease that we have been dealing with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:50.480,0:02:58.720
the repercussions of, ever since.
Wars became the order of the day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:58.720,0:03:03.600
Marked by the dominance of massive groups&nbsp;
cooperating among themselves in an effort</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:03.600,0:03:09.680
to annihilate other massive groups, these&nbsp;
wars paved the path for the competitive</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:09.680,0:03:15.440
growth of Homo sapiens’ civilization.
Since then, the story of the growth of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:15.440,0:03:22.800
human civilization has remained much the same&nbsp;
to date. That is why and how these mythological</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:22.800,0:03:31.120
stories acted as double-edged swords. Though&nbsp;
they created vast cooperating groups furthering</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.120,0:03:37.040
tremendous growth and development, the&nbsp;
said growth always remained fragmented.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:37.680,0:03:44.160
The groups remained disparate, miserably&nbsp;
failing to operate as one single cooperating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:44.160,0:03:51.280
group of a species called Homo sapiens.&nbsp;
This was the power of our fragmented minds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:51.280,0:03:57.520
following our fragmented beliefs via our&nbsp;
fragmented stories that took dominance</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:57.520,0:04:06.320
over the marvels of the spontaneous brains of a&nbsp;
unique species that we, the Homo sapiens, were.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:06.320,0:04:10.560
Nevertheless, the power to think&nbsp;
in abstraction was a great leap in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:10.560,0:04:18.560
the evolution of the human brain. It gave&nbsp;
birth to new disciplines in science, arts,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:18.560,0:04:27.360
technology and commerce. Human culture started&nbsp;
prospering with inventions of digits and letters</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:27.360,0:04:33.920
resulting in mathematics to calculate on one&nbsp;
hand and language to communicate on the other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:34.640,0:04:39.680
Today, we marvel at our own achievements&nbsp;
within such a short span of time,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:39.680,0:04:47.840
evolutionarily speaking. Once we, the Homo&nbsp;
sapiens, started galloping along the track</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:47.840,0:04:55.760
of new discoveries and inventions, we never&nbsp;
stopped. It has been too fast an evolution of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:55.760,0:05:03.680
the brain in too short a span of time. Overall,&nbsp;
our brain size has increased 2-3 times within</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:03.680,0:05:10.880
the last 3 million years, starting with the&nbsp;
species named Australopithecus. This was a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:10.880,0:05:18.400
group of hominins from which humans are supposed&nbsp;
to have descended. These 3 million years is quite</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:18.400,0:05:25.360
a small fraction of time when compared&nbsp;
to the 3 billion years of life on earth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:25.360,0:05:34.640
And surprisingly, that process of evolution&nbsp;
is still on! And at the same break-neck speed!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:34.640,0:05:39.760
The Tipping Point of Crisis
We have almost reached the edge</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:39.760,0:05:45.920
of the point of no return from the harmful&nbsp;
effects of human-induced climate change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:45.920,0:05:51.840
As of today, the two major ice sheets&nbsp;
at Greenland and Antarctica are melting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:51.840,0:05:57.920
speedily. If the greenhouse gases are not&nbsp;
stopped from emitting further, the rise of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:57.920,0:06:04.640
the global sea level is going to cause havoc.
If the global temperature ultimately increases</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:04.640,0:06:14.160
by 1.5-2oC, the melting of these ice sheets&nbsp;
may become irreversible. Higher rainfall and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:14.160,0:06:20.960
higher flooding events would engulf the northern&nbsp;
hemisphere. It would end up in the extinction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:20.960,0:06:28.960
of quite a few species of plants, insects and&nbsp;
vertebrates. Under extreme weather conditions,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:28.960,0:06:36.400
there are going to be way more spontaneous forest&nbsp;
fires. And we have already started seeing all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:36.400,0:06:42.640
these effects in just the past few years!
As David Attenborough said,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:42.640,0:06:49.280
“What we do in the next twenty years will&nbsp;
determine the future of all life on earth.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:49.280,0:07:00.080
Who is to be blamed for it?
Our mind, our society and our culture! Who else?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:00.080,0:07:08.960
Our mind is greedy. It is greedy because it is&nbsp;
fearful. We, as a species, wanted to progress</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:08.960,0:07:17.440
as much as we could, as fast as we could.
We overexploited our planet’s resources,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:17.440,0:07:25.440
without giving it back what we took from&nbsp;
it. Earth wants to take everything back now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:25.440,0:07:32.800
Isn’t it a lesson for our mind? Isn’t it a lesson&nbsp;
for the way we have structured our society?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:32.800,0:07:39.520
Isn’t it an indictment of the value system&nbsp;
that we have erected human culture on?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:39.520,0:07:45.200
Where did we go wrong? What&nbsp;
was our earliest mistake?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:45.200,0:07:51.040
Remember I had said that the mind gets&nbsp;
subjectively attached to its faulty apprehensions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:51.040,0:08:01.040
of threat to life, in Episode 20? It overrates the&nbsp;
instincts of self-preservation. On the other hand,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.040,0:08:10.000
it suppresses and even represses death instincts.&nbsp;
That is how it distorts reality and corrupts human</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:10.000,0:08:18.320
action. It is because all death instincts&nbsp;
including curiosity, interaction, adventure,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:18.320,0:08:27.120
love and sex turn us passionate, insightful&nbsp;
and people-centric. On the other hand,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:27.120,0:08:34.240
self-preservative instincts turn us stupidly&nbsp;
emotional, greedy and self-centric more than</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:34.240,0:08:41.920
people-centric.&nbsp; They want growth as much and&nbsp;
as fast as possible whereas death instincts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:41.920,0:08:50.480
are way saner in their approach. In its greed,&nbsp;
humanity sided with the fastest possible rather</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:50.480,0:08:57.280
than sustainable growth that is in tune with all&nbsp;
of nature and, therefore, would have given rise to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:57.280,0:09:04.560
a different paradigm of ‘quality’ of life.
That is why and how the brain is way more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.560,0:09:13.360
intelligent than the mind. In fact, the mind&nbsp;
can very easily go stupid. Brain never does.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:13.360,0:09:22.800
That was our very first mistake. In fact, that&nbsp;
was our Original Sin, if any. We gave the entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:22.800,0:09:32.000
reigns of comprehending psychedelic (incognizable)&nbsp;
reality in a cognizable way to the mind. Reality</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:32.000,0:09:40.400
is right, only its cognition is not. We shouldn’t&nbsp;
have made the mind an autonomous entity having the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:40.400,0:09:47.920
power to comprehend reality anyway it likes. It&nbsp;
should have been kept subservient to the brain,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:47.920,0:09:55.680
the real master of perception and action.
Had we managed to do that, psychology as an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:55.680,0:10:01.040
autonomous science would have been redundant.&nbsp;
It would rather have been a subordinate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:01.040,0:10:08.480
discipline under physiology or neurology.
Even with our bloated, fragmented minds,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:08.480,0:10:16.480
we can still get rid of our old prejudices&nbsp;
for/ against fragmented groups that are busy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:16.480,0:10:24.160
cooperating within themselves in order to compete&nbsp;
with or even annihilate others within our own</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:24.160,0:10:33.440
species. Today, we can give credit to our expanded&nbsp;
awareness of undivided humanity and stop believing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:33.440,0:10:40.560
in the fragmenting stories created by our&nbsp;
fragmented minds all those thousands of years ago!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:40.560,0:10:47.920
I know I am asking for a big, huge lot. I am&nbsp;
asking for a paradigm shift in our comprehension</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:47.920,0:10:55.840
of reality. For this to be possible, the mind&nbsp;
needs to comprehend reality as per the neural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:55.840,0:11:02.640
dictates of the nervous system. It needs to&nbsp;
follow commands of the brain and its entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:02.640,0:11:10.400
nervous system without trying to affect them&nbsp;
at all. As it right now is, the mind limits</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:10.400,0:11:18.160
the efficiency of the brain by corrupting its&nbsp;
perception and consequent spontaneous action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:18.160,0:11:23.520
That is how, in its greed, it gave a signal&nbsp;
to the best of the human brains to make</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:23.520,0:11:32.400
so-called progress as fast as possible.&nbsp;
And look where that has brought us today!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:32.400,0:11:37.440
What to Do Now?
Today, if we are humble enough to learn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:37.440,0:11:43.440
our lesson, we need to take immediate action.
How do we do that?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:44.080,0:11:49.280
We simply need to empty our mind of all the&nbsp;
garbage it has collected in the past thousands of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:49.280,0:12:00.800
years. All its beliefs, all its attachments, all&nbsp;
its prejudices, its morals and emotions! It needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:00.800,0:12:08.480
to be left alone with what it is there for, i.e.,&nbsp;
the subjective cognition of instinctual awareness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:09.200,0:12:14.400
It should be left alone as the sense&nbsp;
of ‘I’ with just the set of instincts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:14.400,0:12:21.360
human nature has already provided us with.
We can afford to do it today although we could</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:21.360,0:12:28.720
never have done so till date without risking&nbsp;
our very existence on the planet. Right now,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:28.720,0:12:34.480
no other species is left to claim&nbsp;
its dominance on the planet. We don’t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:34.480,0:12:41.120
need to compete with our siblings any more.
Competition has already played its commendable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:41.120,0:12:49.040
role in safeguarding us up to this point of time.&nbsp;
But if it continues, it will turn against our own</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:49.040,0:12:59.440
self, as a species. Where else does this happen?&nbsp;
In our own bodies. Exactly like the immunity in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.440,0:13:06.560
our bodies that competes against foreign entities&nbsp;
to protect us sometimes turns on itself leading</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:06.560,0:13:14.320
to autoimmune diseases, our intra-species&nbsp;
competition is threatening to wipe us out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:14.320,0:13:19.360
What we need today is a world-wide&nbsp;
cooperation or else, we will run</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:19.360,0:13:26.800
our species out of existence. It will be nothing&nbsp;
less than a suicidal act on our collective part.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:27.680,0:13:36.400
Cooperation over competition! Brain over&nbsp;
mind!! Even better, an empty mind!!!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:36.400,0:13:41.120
Okay, what does the mind&nbsp;
do when it is left emptied?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:41.120,0:13:47.440
It gives a cognizable meaning to the psychedelic&nbsp;
perceptions and spontaneous actions of the brain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:47.440,0:13:54.240
without generating beliefs around them.
We need to go agnostic in the truest sense</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:54.240,0:14:02.160
of the word. When that happens, we stop living in&nbsp;
our past and/ or future with emotional attachments</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:02.160,0:14:10.320
to them. Passion replaces emotions. We are able&nbsp;
to centrally fixate our passionate attention on</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:10.320,0:14:16.720
the perception and action of the very present&nbsp;
moment. Central fixation makes it possible for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:16.720,0:14:23.520
the brain to spontaneously think the best without&nbsp;
being distorted by emotional thoughts of the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:24.160,0:14:32.160
When this happens, action is the next spontaneous&nbsp;
step taken by the brain instantaneously. Even</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:32.160,0:14:36.640
artificial intelligence (AI) will never&nbsp;
be able to match the human brain since,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:36.640,0:14:42.880
even at its best, it can only&nbsp;
achieve speed but never spontaneity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:42.880,0:14:52.400
In my first language named Hindi, past is named&nbsp;
‘bhoot’ meaning ’ghost’. I find that hilarious.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:53.360,0:15:00.560
It seems to me to be the best description of&nbsp;
the past. Past is dead and we keep emotionally</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:00.560,0:15:07.520
clinging to its ghost or to its cousin,&nbsp;
i.e., its own projection as the future.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:07.520,0:15:14.720
These ghosts masquerading as thoughts possess&nbsp;
our brain and limit or distort its capability</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:14.720,0:15:22.480
to spontaneously think without any deterrents.&nbsp;
Thinking is the handiwork of the brain. Chewing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:22.480,0:15:27.760
the cud of thoughts is the handiwork of&nbsp;
the mind. Thinking and chewing the cud of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:27.760,0:15:34.560
thoughts are two diametrically opposite&nbsp;
actions. Let us start thinking as real</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:34.560,0:15:41.200
intelligent organisms. Let us stop chewing&nbsp;
the cud of thoughts as stupid dead ghosts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:41.920,0:15:47.120
Let us tackle these impending emergencies of&nbsp;
human-induced climate change in an absolutely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:47.120,0:15:54.320
intelligent way…while we still can! And that&nbsp;
absolute intelligence can only arise from an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:54.320,0:15:56.800
empty mind.
But what’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:56.800,0:16:03.760
the modus operandi of emptying the mind?
We have already discussed this in all its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:03.760,0:16:13.520
conceptual details as Skeletal Leap in Episode 26&nbsp;
and Episode 27. However, that is at the level of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:13.520,0:16:22.640
an individual. It is my contention that a similar&nbsp;

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 28th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “Homosapiens: Ultimate Gains and Losses to Date!” will tell you about human achievements vs losses through homo sapiens bipedal evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We humans have been extremely successful in achieving an unchallenged control over the planet we live on, something none of the other 8.7 million living species could even dream of.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Homo sapiens are ruling the planet at present like dinosaurs once did.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a species, we have made immense progress in creating tools that gave us the power to establish the said control.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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!</p>



<h2 id="homosapiens-ultimate-gains-and-losses-to-date-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Homosapiens: Ultimate Gains and Losses to Date! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap, titled “Homo Sapiens: Ultimate Gains and Losses to Date,” I explore the remarkable yet tumultuous path of human evolution and the consequences of our advancements.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I dive deep into the duality of human achievements versus losses throughout our bipedal evolution. Discover how Homo sapiens have gained unprecedented control over the planet, surpassing the capabilities of our fellow species, yet simultaneously sowing the seeds of our own potential demise.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the dawn of tool-making to the rise of complex societal structures, learn how our superior communication skills and abstract thinking have propelled us forward. However, this journey has not been without its pitfalls; the very myths we created to unite us have also led to fragmentation and conflict.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we stand on the brink of irreversible climate change, I challenge my species to confront the greed and fear that have driven our unsustainable progress. I emphasize the urgent need for a shift in our collective mindset—from competition to cooperation, from a fragmented mind to a unified consciousness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode invites you to reflect on our collective responsibility and the power of an empty mind in fostering genuine understanding and action. Can we learn from our past mistakes and pave the way for a sustainable future?&nbsp;</p>

“What to Do Now?
Today, if we are humble enough to learn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:06.240,0:00:22.080
our lesson, we need to take immediate action.
How do we do that?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:22.080,0:00:26.560
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:26.560,0:00:34.400
A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.400,0:00:36.880
Today’s episode will tell you about human</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:36.880,0:00:42.560
achievements vs losses through&nbsp;
homo sapiens bipedal evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:42.560,0:00:48.320
We humans have been extremely successful in&nbsp;
achieving an unchallenged control over the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:48.320,0:00:55.600
planet we live on, something none of the other&nbsp;
8.7 million living species could even dream of.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:56.240,0:01:02.080
Homo sapiens are ruling the planet&nbsp;
at present like dinosaurs once did.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:02.080,0:01:08.240
As a species, we have made immense progress in&nbsp;
creating tools that gave us the power to establish</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:08.240,0:01:15.440
the said control. The tools kept getting more and&nbsp;
more sophisticated as did our brain’s ability to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:15.440,0:01:23.520
think in abstraction. We, the sapiens, had&nbsp;
another exclusive advantage at our behest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:24.240,0:01:29.520
We could communicate much better with one&nbsp;
another through the use of our language that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:29.520,0:01:37.040
was way superior to that of other Homo species.&nbsp;
Hence we were better able to cooperate in groups</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:37.040,0:01:43.200
while fighting with our competitors for the&nbsp;
purpose of dominance over them. Neanderthals</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:43.200,0:01:48.560
who were physically stronger and other Homo&nbsp;
species could not do it so effectively among</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:48.560,0:01:55.600
themselves and slowly went out of existence.&nbsp;
It was then that the Homo sapiens discovered</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:55.600,0:02:02.480
the power of the mind in creating mythological&nbsp;
stories, thanks to their superior language. And</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:02.480,0:02:11.920
then, they soon started believing in them! As&nbsp;
this happened, it acted as a double-edged sword.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:11.920,0:02:18.480
It started imparting an autonomous status to the&nbsp;
mind as separate from a reviewer of the brain’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:18.480,0:02:26.800
perception and action. It helped the Homo sapiens,&nbsp;
driven by their fictitious beliefs, to start</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:26.800,0:02:34.880
cooperating in bigger and bigger groups to achieve&nbsp;
dominance over the planet as a species. But then,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.880,0:02:42.480
humanity didn’t stop over there. It allowed these&nbsp;
fictitious beliefs to turn into a unique kind of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:42.480,0:02:50.480
auto-immune disease, not of the individual but of&nbsp;
society. A disease that we have been dealing with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:50.480,0:02:58.720
the repercussions of, ever since.
Wars became the order of the day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:58.720,0:03:03.600
Marked by the dominance of massive groups&nbsp;
cooperating among themselves in an effort</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:03.600,0:03:09.680
to annihilate other massive groups, these&nbsp;
wars paved the path for the competitive</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:09.680,0:03:15.440
growth of Homo sapiens’ civilization.
Since then, the story of the growth of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:15.440,0:03:22.800
human civilization has remained much the same&nbsp;
to date. That is why and how these mythological</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:22.800,0:03:31.120
stories acted as double-edged swords. Though&nbsp;
they created vast cooperating groups furthering</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.120,0:03:37.040
tremendous growth and development, the&nbsp;
said growth always remained fragmented.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:37.680,0:03:44.160
The groups remained disparate, miserably&nbsp;
failing to operate as one single cooperating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:44.160,0:03:51.280
group of a species called Homo sapiens.&nbsp;
This was the power of our fragmented minds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:51.280,0:03:57.520
following our fragmented beliefs via our&nbsp;
fragmented stories that took dominance</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:57.520,0:04:06.320
over the marvels of the spontaneous brains of a&nbsp;
unique species that we, the Homo sapiens, were.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:06.320,0:04:10.560
Nevertheless, the power to think&nbsp;
in abstraction was a great leap in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:10.560,0:04:18.560
the evolution of the human brain. It gave&nbsp;
birth to new disciplines in science, arts,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:18.560,0:04:27.360
technology and commerce. Human culture started&nbsp;
prospering with inventions of digits and letters</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:27.360,0:04:33.920
resulting in mathematics to calculate on one&nbsp;
hand and language to communicate on the other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:34.640,0:04:39.680
Today, we marvel at our own achievements&nbsp;
within such a short span of time,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:39.680,0:04:47.840
evolutionarily speaking. Once we, the Homo&nbsp;
sapiens, started galloping along the track</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:47.840,0:04:55.760
of new discoveries and inventions, we never&nbsp;
stopped. It has been too fast an evolution of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:55.760,0:05:03.680
the brain in too short a span of time. Overall,&nbsp;
our brain size has increased 2-3 times within</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:03.680,0:05:10.880
the last 3 million years, starting with the&nbsp;
species named Australopithecus. This was a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:10.880,0:05:18.400
group of hominins from which humans are supposed&nbsp;
to have descended. These 3 million years is quite</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:18.400,0:05:25.360
a small fraction of time when compared&nbsp;
to the 3 billion years of life on earth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:25.360,0:05:34.640
And surprisingly, that process of evolution&nbsp;
is still on! And at the same break-neck speed!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:34.640,0:05:39.760
The Tipping Point of Crisis
We have almost reached the edge</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:39.760,0:05:45.920
of the point of no return from the harmful&nbsp;
effects of human-induced climate change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:45.920,0:05:51.840
As of today, the two major ice sheets&nbsp;
at Greenland and Antarctica are melting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:51.840,0:05:57.920
speedily. If the greenhouse gases are not&nbsp;
stopped from emitting further, the rise of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:57.920,0:06:04.640
the global sea level is going to cause havoc.
If the global temperature ultimately increases</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:04.640,0:06:14.160
by 1.5-2oC, the melting of these ice sheets&nbsp;
may become irreversible. Higher rainfall and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:14.160,0:06:20.960
higher flooding events would engulf the northern&nbsp;
hemisphere. It would end up in the extinction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:20.960,0:06:28.960
of quite a few species of plants, insects and&nbsp;
vertebrates. Under extreme weather conditions,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:28.960,0:06:36.400
there are going to be way more spontaneous forest&nbsp;
fires. And we have already started seeing all</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:36.400,0:06:42.640
these effects in just the past few years!
As David Attenborough said,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:42.640,0:06:49.280
“What we do in the next twenty years will&nbsp;
determine the future of all life on earth.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:49.280,0:07:00.080
Who is to be blamed for it?
Our mind, our society and our culture! Who else?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:00.080,0:07:08.960
Our mind is greedy. It is greedy because it is&nbsp;
fearful. We, as a species, wanted to progress</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:08.960,0:07:17.440
as much as we could, as fast as we could.
We overexploited our planet’s resources,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:17.440,0:07:25.440
without giving it back what we took from&nbsp;
it. Earth wants to take everything back now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:25.440,0:07:32.800
Isn’t it a lesson for our mind? Isn’t it a lesson&nbsp;
for the way we have structured our society?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:32.800,0:07:39.520
Isn’t it an indictment of the value system&nbsp;
that we have erected human culture on?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:39.520,0:07:45.200
Where did we go wrong? What&nbsp;
was our earliest mistake?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:45.200,0:07:51.040
Remember I had said that the mind gets&nbsp;
subjectively attached to its faulty apprehensions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:51.040,0:08:01.040
of threat to life, in Episode 20? It overrates the&nbsp;
instincts of self-preservation. On the other hand,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:01.040,0:08:10.000
it suppresses and even represses death instincts.&nbsp;
That is how it distorts reality and corrupts human</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:10.000,0:08:18.320
action. It is because all death instincts&nbsp;
including curiosity, interaction, adventure,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:18.320,0:08:27.120
love and sex turn us passionate, insightful&nbsp;
and people-centric. On the other hand,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:27.120,0:08:34.240
self-preservative instincts turn us stupidly&nbsp;
emotional, greedy and self-centric more than</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:34.240,0:08:41.920
people-centric.&nbsp; They want growth as much and&nbsp;
as fast as possible whereas death instincts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:41.920,0:08:50.480
are way saner in their approach. In its greed,&nbsp;
humanity sided with the fastest possible rather</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:50.480,0:08:57.280
than sustainable growth that is in tune with all&nbsp;
of nature and, therefore, would have given rise to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:57.280,0:09:04.560
a different paradigm of ‘quality’ of life.
That is why and how the brain is way more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.560,0:09:13.360
intelligent than the mind. In fact, the mind&nbsp;
can very easily go stupid. Brain never does.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:13.360,0:09:22.800
That was our very first mistake. In fact, that&nbsp;
was our Original Sin, if any. We gave the entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:22.800,0:09:32.000
reigns of comprehending psychedelic (incognizable)&nbsp;
reality in a cognizable way to the mind. Reality</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:32.000,0:09:40.400
is right, only its cognition is not. We shouldn’t&nbsp;
have made the mind an autonomous entity having the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:40.400,0:09:47.920
power to comprehend reality anyway it likes. It&nbsp;
should have been kept subservient to the brain,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:47.920,0:09:55.680
the real master of perception and action.
Had we managed to do that, psychology as an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:55.680,0:10:01.040
autonomous science would have been redundant.&nbsp;
It would rather have been a subordinate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:01.040,0:10:08.480
discipline under physiology or neurology.
Even with our bloated, fragmented minds,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:08.480,0:10:16.480
we can still get rid of our old prejudices&nbsp;
for/ against fragmented groups that are busy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:16.480,0:10:24.160
cooperating within themselves in order to compete&nbsp;
with or even annihilate others within our own</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:24.160,0:10:33.440
species. Today, we can give credit to our expanded&nbsp;
awareness of undivided humanity and stop believing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:33.440,0:10:40.560
in the fragmenting stories created by our&nbsp;
fragmented minds all those thousands of years ago!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:40.560,0:10:47.920
I know I am asking for a big, huge lot. I am&nbsp;
asking for a paradigm shift in our comprehension</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:47.920,0:10:55.840
of reality. For this to be possible, the mind&nbsp;
needs to comprehend reality as per the neural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:55.840,0:11:02.640
dictates of the nervous system. It needs to&nbsp;
follow commands of the brain and its entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:02.640,0:11:10.400
nervous system without trying to affect them&nbsp;
at all. As it right now is, the mind limits</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:10.400,0:11:18.160
the efficiency of the brain by corrupting its&nbsp;
perception and consequent spontaneous action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:18.160,0:11:23.520
That is how, in its greed, it gave a signal&nbsp;
to the best of the human brains to make</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:23.520,0:11:32.400
so-called progress as fast as possible.&nbsp;
And look where that has brought us today!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:32.400,0:11:37.440
What to Do Now?
Today, if we are humble enough to learn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:37.440,0:11:43.440
our lesson, we need to take immediate action.
How do we do that?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:44.080,0:11:49.280
We simply need to empty our mind of all the&nbsp;
garbage it has collected in the past thousands of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:49.280,0:12:00.800
years. All its beliefs, all its attachments, all&nbsp;
its prejudices, its morals and emotions! It needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:00.800,0:12:08.480
to be left alone with what it is there for, i.e.,&nbsp;
the subjective cognition of instinctual awareness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:09.200,0:12:14.400
It should be left alone as the sense&nbsp;
of ‘I’ with just the set of instincts</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:14.400,0:12:21.360
human nature has already provided us with.
We can afford to do it today although we could</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:21.360,0:12:28.720
never have done so till date without risking&nbsp;
our very existence on the planet. Right now,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:28.720,0:12:34.480
no other species is left to claim&nbsp;
its dominance on the planet. We don’t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:34.480,0:12:41.120
need to compete with our siblings any more.
Competition has already played its commendable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:41.120,0:12:49.040
role in safeguarding us up to this point of time.&nbsp;
But if it continues, it will turn against our own</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:49.040,0:12:59.440
self, as a species. Where else does this happen?&nbsp;
In our own bodies. Exactly like the immunity in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.440,0:13:06.560
our bodies that competes against foreign entities&nbsp;
to protect us sometimes turns on itself leading</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:06.560,0:13:14.320
to autoimmune diseases, our intra-species&nbsp;
competition is threatening to wipe us out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:14.320,0:13:19.360
What we need today is a world-wide&nbsp;
cooperation or else, we will run</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:19.360,0:13:26.800
our species out of existence. It will be nothing&nbsp;
less than a suicidal act on our collective part.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:27.680,0:13:36.400
Cooperation over competition! Brain over&nbsp;
mind!! Even better, an empty mind!!!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:36.400,0:13:41.120
Okay, what does the mind&nbsp;
do when it is left emptied?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:41.120,0:13:47.440
It gives a cognizable meaning to the psychedelic&nbsp;
perceptions and spontaneous actions of the brain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:47.440,0:13:54.240
without generating beliefs around them.
We need to go agnostic in the truest sense</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:54.240,0:14:02.160
of the word. When that happens, we stop living in&nbsp;
our past and/ or future with emotional attachments</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:02.160,0:14:10.320
to them. Passion replaces emotions. We are able&nbsp;
to centrally fixate our passionate attention on</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:10.320,0:14:16.720
the perception and action of the very present&nbsp;
moment. Central fixation makes it possible for</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:16.720,0:14:23.520
the brain to spontaneously think the best without&nbsp;
being distorted by emotional thoughts of the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:24.160,0:14:32.160
When this happens, action is the next spontaneous&nbsp;
step taken by the brain instantaneously. Even</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:32.160,0:14:36.640
artificial intelligence (AI) will never&nbsp;
be able to match the human brain since,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:36.640,0:14:42.880
even at its best, it can only&nbsp;
achieve speed but never spontaneity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:42.880,0:14:52.400
In my first language named Hindi, past is named&nbsp;
‘bhoot’ meaning ’ghost’. I find that hilarious.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:53.360,0:15:00.560
It seems to me to be the best description of&nbsp;
the past. Past is dead and we keep emotionally</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:00.560,0:15:07.520
clinging to its ghost or to its cousin,&nbsp;
i.e., its own projection as the future.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:07.520,0:15:14.720
These ghosts masquerading as thoughts possess&nbsp;
our brain and limit or distort its capability</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:14.720,0:15:22.480
to spontaneously think without any deterrents.&nbsp;
Thinking is the handiwork of the brain. Chewing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:22.480,0:15:27.760
the cud of thoughts is the handiwork of&nbsp;
the mind. Thinking and chewing the cud of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:27.760,0:15:34.560
thoughts are two diametrically opposite&nbsp;
actions. Let us start thinking as real</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:34.560,0:15:41.200
intelligent organisms. Let us stop chewing&nbsp;
the cud of thoughts as stupid dead ghosts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:41.920,0:15:47.120
Let us tackle these impending emergencies of&nbsp;
human-induced climate change in an absolutely</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:47.120,0:15:54.320
intelligent way…while we still can! And that&nbsp;
absolute intelligence can only arise from an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:54.320,0:15:56.800
empty mind.
But what’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:56.800,0:16:03.760
the modus operandi of emptying the mind?
We have already discussed this in all its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:03.760,0:16:13.520
conceptual details as Skeletal Leap in Episode 26&nbsp;
and Episode 27. However, that is at the level of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:13.520,0:16:22.640
an individual. It is my contention that a similar&nbsp;
approach can be extended to society, as a whole.</p>

Welcome back to the 28th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



Today’s episode titled “Homosapiens: Ultimate Gains and Losses to Date!” will tell you about human achievements vs losses through homo sapiens bipedal evolution.



We humans have been extremely successful in achieving an unchallenged control over the planet we live on, something none of the other 8.7 million living species could even dream of.



Homo sapiens are ruling the planet at present like dinosaurs once did.



As a species, we have made immense progress in creating tools that gave us the power to establish the said control.



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





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!



Homosapiens: Ultimate Gains and Losses to Date! - Show Notes





In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap, titled “Homo Sapiens: Ultimate Gains and Losses to Date,” I explore the remarkable yet tumultuous path of human evolution and the consequences of our advancements.



Join me as I dive deep into the duality of human achievements versus losses throughout our bipedal evolution. Discover how Homo sapiens have gained unprecedented control over the planet, surpassing the capabilities of our fellow species, yet simultaneously sowing the seeds of our own potential demise.



From the dawn of tool-making to the rise of complex societal structures, learn how our superior communication skills and abstract thinking have propelled us forward. However, this journey has not been without its pitfalls; the very myths we created to unite us have also led to fragmentation and conflict.



As we stand on the brink of irreversible climate change, I challenge my species to confront the greed and fear that have driven our unsustainable progress. I emphasize the urgent need for a shift in our collective mindset—from competition to cooperation, from a fragmented mind to a unified consciousness.



This episode invites you to reflect on our collective responsibility and the power of an empty mind in fostering genuine understanding and action. Can we learn from our past mistakes and pave the way for a sustainable future?&nbsp;

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 27th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Doing Meditation 15 Minutes Vs Having A Meditative Mind 24 by 7!</strong>” will tell you about skeletal meditation emptying the mind and then keeping it empty for kundalini awakening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Breathing is the highest form of meditation.” That is not me talking but a quote often attributed to different eminent authors or philosophers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In fact, meditation has been revered as a highly esteemed practice in human culture ever since human society took shape with sociocultural evolution.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Doing Meditation 15 Minutes Vs Having A Meditative Mind 24 by 7!”, I explore the profound connection between mindfulness and daily activities.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how to transform mundane tasks into opportunities for meditation by embracing the present moment with joy and awareness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I dive deep into the essence of skeletal meditation, emphasizing the importance of emptying the mind to facilitate Kundalini awakening. I further highlight that true meditation transcends the conventional notion of sitting in silence; it can be integrated into every action we undertake.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Citing a survey from the National Institutes of Health, I reveal that many people meditate for wellness, energy, and improved concentration. Yet, I question the effectiveness of traditional meditation practices that often lead to mental lethargy rather than genuine relaxation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through engaging anecdotes and insightful reflections, this episode challenges you to rethink your approach to meditation. I illustrate how savoring each moment—whether eating, talking, or even experiencing discomfort—can lead to a deeper sense of awareness and fulfillment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I guide you on a journey to make mindfulness a natural part of your life, encouraging you to embrace the joy of living in the present and transforming every action into a meditative experience.</p>

skeletal meditation emptying the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:39.120,0:00:43.680

“Breathing is the highest form of meditation.”&nbsp;
That is not me talking but a quote often</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:50.640,0:00:57.840
attributed to different eminent authors or&nbsp;

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:57.840,0:01:04.320
revered as a highly esteemed practice in human&nbsp;
culture ever since human society took shape with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:04.320,0:01:10.720
sociocultural evolution. Lately, though, it&nbsp;
has almost become a fashionable trend among</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:10.720,0:01:18.560
the elite for their wellness concerns. On the&nbsp;
other hand, people with a deep faith in religion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:18.560,0:01:26.000
follow it as a religious or spiritual practice.&nbsp;
Thirdly, people with different kinds of lifestyle</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:26.000,0:01:34.080
diseases are also advised to sit in meditation by&nbsp;
none less than their own healthcare specialists.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:34.080,0:01:39.120
The modus operandi of such meditations&nbsp;
has mostly been to sit in an erect</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:39.120,0:01:45.760
posture with eyes closed for a certain&nbsp;
duration of time. During this period,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:45.760,0:01:51.360
the meditators are supposed to do&nbsp;
something specific with their mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:51.360,0:01:58.720
What that something is widely varies depending&nbsp;
on what they want it to achieve for them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:58.720,0:02:04.240
It looks like people have such great faith in&nbsp;
meditation that they feel it can provide them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:04.240,0:02:10.560
with all kinds of things they seek.
Why People Meditate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:10.560,0:02:16.320
A survey published by the National Institutes&nbsp;
of Health in America on their National Library</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:16.320,0:02:24.800
of Medicine practicing revealed that 76.2% of&nbsp;
common people use meditation for general wellness</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:24.800,0:02:34.960
or disease prevention, 60% to improve their energy&nbsp;
and 50% to improve their memory or concentration.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.960,0:02:40.640
Hence people’s priorities&nbsp;for what they&nbsp;
expect out of meditation the most seem to be:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:41.760,0:02:48.720
Health and wellness | 2. Energy&nbsp;
| 3. Memory or concentration</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:49.360,0:02:57.040
How do we think meditation would be able to do&nbsp;
what we want it to do for us? And, that too, just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:57.040,0:03:04.320
by doing it for an hour a day? For the remaining&nbsp;
twenty-three hours, we are again going back to our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:04.320,0:03:10.880
unhealthy state of mind-body disposition.
Sitting for meditation for an hour or so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:10.880,0:03:16.000
has just become a fashion to satisfy&nbsp;
ourselves of doing something good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:16.720,0:03:23.600
It rather strengthens our ego further.
How People Meditate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:23.600,0:03:30.560
Also, what exactly do we do when we sit in&nbsp;
meditation with our eyes closed? Here are a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:30.560,0:03:35.680
few things that people are guided&nbsp;
to do in the name of meditation:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:35.680,0:03:41.200
Chanting mantras or affirmations&nbsp;
| Counting beads | Counting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:41.200,0:03:48.240
breaths | Concentrating on a&nbsp;
thought | Imagining a sequence</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:48.240,0:03:54.800
The above kinds of practices just numb&nbsp;
the mind, sending it to a kind of stupor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:54.800,0:04:01.600
It makes one feel as if one has become&nbsp;
relaxed. But that is not what relaxation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:01.600,0:04:12.080
means. A lethargic mind is not a relaxed mind.
Mindfulness meditation, at least at face value,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:12.080,0:04:19.200
seems to be a better alternative for relaxing&nbsp;
the mind. Mindfulness means focusing the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:19.200,0:04:26.080
on being an aware witness to whatever comes&nbsp;
to it from moment to moment. People sit down</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:26.080,0:04:31.520
in a cross-legged posture and start&nbsp;
making all kinds of efforts to become</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:31.520,0:04:40.000
aware of their minds’ dynamic content.
But mind, as such, is a fidgety child!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:40.000,0:04:48.640
It doesn’t pay much heed to our efforts. In fact,&nbsp;
it loves to keep jumping from one casual thought,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:48.640,0:04:57.040
thing or action to another, like a monkey.
We try to witness it in its movement with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:57.040,0:05:05.440
our total awareness. It doesn’t say no.&nbsp;
But then, it stealthily slips away from</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:05.440,0:05:13.280
under our attentive control to some of its&nbsp;
other unaware, casual concerns. We always</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:13.280,0:05:21.520
need to keep bringing our awareness back on track.
But the problem is it gets bored over there in its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:21.520,0:05:29.120
pursuit of awareness. The very nature of the mind&nbsp;
is to keep jumping from one concern to another,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:29.120,0:05:36.800
unaware. And the reason is that it is&nbsp;
full of concerns, not only consciously</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:36.800,0:05:44.080
but unconsciously as well. It tends to keep&nbsp;
scanning everything&nbsp;within its consciousness</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.080,0:05:51.440
and even underneath it, unconsciously.
It is this point alone that mindfulness,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:51.440,0:05:58.080
at its best, can take us to. We need to&nbsp;
continuously keep exerting the pressure</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:58.080,0:06:05.360
of our determination on the mind to tame&nbsp;
it into being aware the way we want it to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:05.360,0:06:10.720
But then, who is this ‘we’ who is making&nbsp;
all this Herculean effort to tame our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:10.720,0:06:18.880
mind? Isn’t it a part of our mind alone?
Anyway, even if we are able to relax the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:18.880,0:06:26.160
mind for an hour or so, it is not of much&nbsp;
use. We are again going to fall back into</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:26.160,0:06:34.080
the same unhealthy disposition. How do&nbsp;
we expect it to do permanent good to us?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:34.080,0:06:40.880
On top of it, the very idea of relaxing&nbsp;
the mind is contradictory in itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:41.760,0:06:48.800
Mind in itself is the name of an entity full&nbsp;
of contradictions, thereby fragmenting itself,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:48.800,0:06:57.920
and hence, fragmenting our ‘self’. As we already&nbsp;
saw in Episode 20, those fragmented parts keep</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:57.920,0:07:07.040
fighting with one another, making a noise. That is&nbsp;
what is called a chattering mind. The techniques</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:07.040,0:07:15.200
listed above try to merely calm it down by&nbsp;
turning it numb or exerting pressure on it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:15.200,0:07:22.720
But the only rational way to stop its chattering&nbsp;
is emptying its content. That is what we call</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:22.720,0:07:30.080
emptying the mind. We have already discussed&nbsp;
it in its operative details in the Episode</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:30.080,0:07:39.520</p>



<ol start="26" class="wp-block-list">
<li>And that is what meditation must&nbsp;
do if it is to do any real good to us.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:39.520,0:07:46.320
At the same time, any such ‘real good’ should&nbsp;
preferably not be limited to any specific duration</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:46.320,0:07:55.120
of time. It should happen twenty-four hours a&nbsp;
day, three-hundred and sixty-five days a year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:55.120,0:08:01.360
That simply means we should try to replace sitting&nbsp;
for meditation with being meditative all day long.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:02.240,0:08:07.360
And that can only be done by&nbsp;
making it our first nature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:07.360,0:08:14.880
Meditating Vs Being Meditative
Once a truly meditative state is reached,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:14.880,0:08:21.600
we no more need to keep sitting for meditation&nbsp;
everyday. We simply need to live in a meditative</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:21.600,0:08:28.400
state all day long. Once we have learnt&nbsp;
how to do this, we need to say goodbye</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:28.400,0:08:34.800
to the idea of ‘sitting in meditation’.
We need to empty our mind with every single</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:34.800,0:08:42.400
breath exhaled while our chakras are open. This&nbsp;
will mean that we can be meditative even while</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:42.400,0:08:50.880
talking to someone, smoking a cigarette, sipping&nbsp;
our wine or while making love, for that matter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:50.880,0:08:59.920
Turning Every Action into Meditation
How can we turn whatever we do into a meditation?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:59.920,0:09:06.640
It is possible when we keep enjoying what we are&nbsp;
doing every single moment of it. It makes us fully</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:06.640,0:09:14.160
involved into the action with total awareness as&nbsp;
opposed to getting indulged into it habitually.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:14.160,0:09:20.080
Let us suppose that we are doing something&nbsp;
that we like doing a lot. There is every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:20.080,0:09:27.040
risk of getting indulged into its action by&nbsp;
emotionally getting attached to it. Let’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:27.040,0:09:34.640
take an example of eating our most favorite dish.&nbsp;
Even before we start tasting it, we have already</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:34.640,0:09:42.000
conditioned our taste glands to taste something&nbsp;
familiar that we like. And when we taste it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:42.000,0:09:51.040
we don’t really taste it right now, we just taste&nbsp;
our past perception of it. We live our mental past</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:51.040,0:09:58.240
while chronologically being in the present. That&nbsp;
is how the mind affects the brain’s perception by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:58.240,0:10:07.520
falsely limiting it to a perception of the past.
Now let us play a game. In the same scenario,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:07.520,0:10:14.960
let us pretend we have lost our memory. We no&nbsp;
more remember that it is our favorite dish nor</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:14.960,0:10:23.920
its taste. It depends on how good an actor we&nbsp;
are, being our own audience at the same time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:23.920,0:10:31.440
Let us start eating it now. We would effectively&nbsp;
be tasting it for the first time in our life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:31.440,0:10:37.520
If we are unable to feign loss of memory,&nbsp;
let us take our first bite very slowly,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:37.520,0:10:44.560
tasting it in its totality. This, too, will&nbsp;
effectively result in the feeling that we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:44.560,0:10:51.520
are tasting it for the first time in our life.
Do you see a parallel between the two actions,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:51.520,0:10:58.800
i.e, pretending to have lost one’s memory and&nbsp;
performing an action slowly in its totality? The</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:58.800,0:11:07.120
result is the same in both scenarios. When we do&nbsp;
something slow enough to do it in its totality, we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:07.120,0:11:15.200
have already kept our emotional mind aside which&nbsp;
is akin to keeping our emotional memory aside.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:15.200,0:11:21.360
And we taste the dish like we are tasting&nbsp;
it for the first time in our life. This</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:21.360,0:11:29.680
amounts to tasting it in the present moment.&nbsp;
Liking or not liking it is no more relevant.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:30.400,0:11:38.880
What matters is tasting it afresh with all&nbsp;
its passion and joy or even pain (if so ever).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:38.880,0:11:46.000
Let’s repeat the same experiment, this time&nbsp;
with a dish that we dislike the most. As we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:46.000,0:11:52.960
slowly taste it afresh in its totality,&nbsp;
disliking it is not relevant anymore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:53.680,0:12:02.320
What matters is tasting it afresh with all&nbsp;
its passion and pain or even joy (if so ever).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.320,0:12:08.960
When we perform an action slowly enough to be&nbsp;
able to do it in its totality, we are no more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:08.960,0:12:18.000
governed by our mind. It is our nervous system&nbsp;
that takes over. And our nervous system is way</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:18.000,0:12:27.200
more intelligent than our mind. It does things&nbsp;
with passion and joy or even pain. All emotional</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:27.200,0:12:35.440
strings attached to the past experiences of liking&nbsp;
or disliking simply vanish into thin air. And</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:35.440,0:12:43.920
the nervous system then performs actions without&nbsp;
ever emotionally liking or disliking them at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:43.920,0:12:49.600
I don’t mean to say that slowness of an action&nbsp;
is the only thing that leads to its totality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:50.720,0:12:58.400
At times, it is just the opposite that works.&nbsp;
For example, running to save a child from</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:58.400,0:13:06.240
being overrun by a speeding car works in its&nbsp;
totality only when done miraculously fast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:06.240,0:13:12.320
However, these same types of slow or fast&nbsp;
actions, when non-meditative,&nbsp;are either</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:12.320,0:13:20.800
lethargic or impulsive, performing those actions&nbsp;
either extra-slow or extra-fast. That is when we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:20.800,0:13:27.520
call them mental lethargy or mental hurry.&nbsp;
The key difference is that when the brain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:27.520,0:13:34.560
is in charge in an independent capacity, which&nbsp;
is what I’m calling the truly meditative state,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:34.560,0:13:42.880
the speed of the action turns optimum; it is&nbsp;
neither extra-slow nor extra-fast. The same</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:42.880,0:13:49.040
happens to the quality of the action as well.
Mental lethargy and mental hurry as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:49.040,0:13:55.520
anti-meditative symptoms were never&nbsp;
as serious as they have become today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:55.520,0:14:01.280
The two are solely responsible for&nbsp;
human actions being non-meditative.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:01.280,0:14:07.920
It doesn’t have to be that way because, as we just&nbsp;
saw above, being meditative all through the day,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:07.920,0:14:15.600
in whatever we do, is no rocket science.
And when we enter that meditative state, we no</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:15.600,0:14:24.720
longer need to ‘sit’ in time-limited meditation.&nbsp;
The very things we do become meditative. The mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:24.720,0:14:30.080
no longer controls the brain and is restricted&nbsp;
to play the role that it has been designed to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:30.080,0:14:39.600
perform. When the brain performs an action in its&nbsp;
totality, it does register it in its memory cells.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:39.600,0:14:46.480
But that memory is not accessible to the mind.
That is how the mind gets trained to remain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:46.480,0:14:52.960
empty and keep doing its job of&nbsp;
comprehending reality quietly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:52.960,0:14:59.760
A meditative action full of joy performed in&nbsp;
its totality with passion leaves no desire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:59.760,0:15:08.480
for recreating it in the future. Similarly, a&nbsp;
meditative action, even if loaded with pain,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:08.480,0:15:15.520
performed in its totality with passion leaves&nbsp;
no anxiety of avoiding it in the future,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:15.520,0:15:22.000
regardless of whether that need to avoid pain&nbsp;
is based on the brain’s objective memory rather</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:22.000,0:15:29.600
than the mind’s emotional memory. When similar&nbsp;
situations ever arise in the future, they become</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:29.600,0:15:38.560
entirely new actions performed afresh right then.&nbsp;
In both cases, no conditioning of the mind occurs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:38.560,0:15:46.880
thus always keeping it empty. We are only left&nbsp;
with an objective memory of the joy or the pain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:46.880,0:15:53.920
which our brain remembers along with all the&nbsp;
other details of the said actions spontaneously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:53.920,0:15:59.360
But old habits die hard.
Our already conditioned minds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:59.360,0:16:06.480
pose a tough challenge to being emptied out in&nbsp;
the beginning. For example, when we go out in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:06.480,0:16:13.440
the scorching sun in a hot climate, our mind&nbsp;
contracts our facial muscles. That is how it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:13.440,0:16:19.760
may turn into an attack of tension headache for&nbsp;
a certain duration of time. The same happens</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:19.760,0:16:28.720
in a snowy blizzard in a cold climate. All these&nbsp;
are conditioned reactions of a conditioned mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:28.720,0:16:35.280
Let’s take another example to address this&nbsp;
problem. Suppose we got an attack of tension</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:35.280,0:16:44.480
headache. When it occurs, we generally tend to&nbsp;
avoid it. But it keeps forcing its pain not only</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:44.480,0:16:51.280
in our head but also on our psyche. &nbsp; &nbsp;
That is how trying to avoid it doubles</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:51.280,0:16:56.320
its uneasiness on our system.
The meditative way to deal with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:56.320,0:17:06.320
it is to stop trying to avoid it. Let us rather&nbsp;
accept it by sensing it in its totality. That is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:06.320,0:17:12.880
what people never do in general.
What happens next?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:12.880,0:17:18.320
As soon as the mind is sidelined by such&nbsp;
emotional acceptance, the brain takes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:18.320,0:17:26.960
the charge. We are left with sensing the said&nbsp;
action in its totality with passion and pain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:26.960,0:17:33.680
The nervous system swiftly assesses something&nbsp;
wrong in the system. It also recognizes the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:33.680,0:17:40.080
source of the pain in the muscles of the head&nbsp;
being pulled down and tucked in. As soon as the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:40.080,0:17:46.480
neural signals direct the contracted muscles&nbsp;
to relax, pain vanishes leaving our senses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:46.480,0:17:54.880
with passion and joy instead of passion and pain.
The mind remains empty until it gets afflicted by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:54.880,0:18:01.840
another habitual pattern of its conditionings.
This way, through being meditative all along,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:01.840,0:18:07.520
we can go on emptying our mind&nbsp;
of its conditionings one by one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:07.520,0:18:14.400
Emptying Mind And Then Keeping It Empty
But as we have seen earlier, there is a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:14.400,0:18:22.560
much better way out. That way is through opening&nbsp;
all the chakras via skeletal re-posturing and then</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:22.560,0:18:30.000
addressing the extended exhalation of breath.&nbsp;
The said impeccable procedure infuses every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:30.000,0:18:37.760
single moment with passion and joy, with action&nbsp;
or without it. That is because breathing becomes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:37.760,0:18:45.360
an effortless action turning all other actions&nbsp;
meditative as well, as and when they take place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:45.360,0:18:48.960
The procedure of Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
rewards us with a surge of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:48.960,0:18:56.560
inexplicable joy with every single breath.
Every single extended exhalation rejuvenates</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:56.560,0:19:01.440
the entire nervous system by keeping&nbsp;
the mind emptied for its duration.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:02.160,0:19:09.760
Skeletal Leap has the power to enable us, the&nbsp;
Homo sapiens, for our next evolutionary leap.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 27th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Doing Meditation 15 Minutes Vs Having A Meditative Mind 24 by 7!</strong>” will tell you about skeletal meditation emptying the mind and then keeping it empty for kundalini awakening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Breathing is the highest form of meditation.” That is not me talking but a quote often attributed to different eminent authors or philosophers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In fact, meditation has been revered as a highly esteemed practice in human culture ever since human society took shape with sociocultural evolution.</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Doing Meditation 15 Minutes Vs Having A Meditative Mind 24 by 7!”, I explore the profound connection between mindfulness and daily activities.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how to transform mundane tasks into opportunities for meditation by embracing the present moment with joy and awareness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I dive deep into the essence of skeletal meditation, emphasizing the importance of emptying the mind to facilitate Kundalini awakening. I further highlight that true meditation transcends the conventional notion of sitting in silence; it can be integrated into every action we undertake.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Citing a survey from the National Institutes of Health, I reveal that many people meditate for wellness, energy, and improved concentration. Yet, I question the effectiveness of traditional meditation practices that often lead to mental lethargy rather than genuine relaxation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through engaging anecdotes and insightful reflections, this episode challenges you to rethink your approach to meditation. I illustrate how savoring each moment—whether eating, talking, or even experiencing discomfort—can lead to a deeper sense of awareness and fulfillment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I guide you on a journey to make mindfulness a natural part of your life, encouraging you to embrace the joy of living in the present and transforming every action into a meditative experience.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:01.200,0:00:08.640
How can we turn whatever we do into a meditation?
It is possible when we keep enjoying what we are</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:08.640,0:00:24.800
doing every single moment of it.
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:24.800,0:00:34.080
to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.080,0:00:39.120
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
skeletal meditation emptying the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:39.120,0:00:43.680
and then keeping it empty for kundalini awakening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:43.680,0:00:50.640
“Breathing is the highest form of meditation.”&nbsp;
That is not me talking but a quote often</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:50.640,0:00:57.840
attributed to different eminent authors or&nbsp;
philosophers. In fact, meditation has been</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:57.840,0:01:04.320
revered as a highly esteemed practice in human&nbsp;
culture ever since human society took shape with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:04.320,0:01:10.720
sociocultural evolution. Lately, though, it&nbsp;
has almost become a fashionable trend among</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:10.720,0:01:18.560
the elite for their wellness concerns. On the&nbsp;
other hand, people with a deep faith in religion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:18.560,0:01:26.000
follow it as a religious or spiritual practice.&nbsp;
Thirdly, people with different kinds of lifestyle</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:26.000,0:01:34.080
diseases are also advised to sit in meditation by&nbsp;
none less than their own healthcare specialists.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:34.080,0:01:39.120
The modus operandi of such meditations&nbsp;
has mostly been to sit in an erect</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:39.120,0:01:45.760
posture with eyes closed for a certain&nbsp;
duration of time. During this period,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:45.760,0:01:51.360
the meditators are supposed to do&nbsp;
something specific with their mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:51.360,0:01:58.720
What that something is widely varies depending&nbsp;
on what they want it to achieve for them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:58.720,0:02:04.240
It looks like people have such great faith in&nbsp;
meditation that they feel it can provide them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:04.240,0:02:10.560
with all kinds of things they seek.
Why People Meditate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:10.560,0:02:16.320
A survey published by the National Institutes&nbsp;
of Health in America on their National Library</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:16.320,0:02:24.800
of Medicine practicing revealed that 76.2% of&nbsp;
common people use meditation for general wellness</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:24.800,0:02:34.960
or disease prevention, 60% to improve their energy&nbsp;
and 50% to improve their memory or concentration.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:34.960,0:02:40.640
Hence people’s priorities&nbsp;for what they&nbsp;
expect out of meditation the most seem to be:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:41.760,0:02:48.720
Health and wellness | 2. Energy&nbsp;
| 3. Memory or concentration</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:49.360,0:02:57.040
How do we think meditation would be able to do&nbsp;
what we want it to do for us? And, that too, just</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:57.040,0:03:04.320
by doing it for an hour a day? For the remaining&nbsp;
twenty-three hours, we are again going back to our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:04.320,0:03:10.880
unhealthy state of mind-body disposition.
Sitting for meditation for an hour or so</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:10.880,0:03:16.000
has just become a fashion to satisfy&nbsp;
ourselves of doing something good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:16.720,0:03:23.600
It rather strengthens our ego further.
How People Meditate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:23.600,0:03:30.560
Also, what exactly do we do when we sit in&nbsp;
meditation with our eyes closed? Here are a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:30.560,0:03:35.680
few things that people are guided&nbsp;
to do in the name of meditation:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:35.680,0:03:41.200
Chanting mantras or affirmations&nbsp;
| Counting beads | Counting</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:41.200,0:03:48.240
breaths | Concentrating on a&nbsp;
thought | Imagining a sequence</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:48.240,0:03:54.800
The above kinds of practices just numb&nbsp;
the mind, sending it to a kind of stupor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:54.800,0:04:01.600
It makes one feel as if one has become&nbsp;
relaxed. But that is not what relaxation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:01.600,0:04:12.080
means. A lethargic mind is not a relaxed mind.
Mindfulness meditation, at least at face value,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:12.080,0:04:19.200
seems to be a better alternative for relaxing&nbsp;
the mind. Mindfulness means focusing the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:19.200,0:04:26.080
on being an aware witness to whatever comes&nbsp;
to it from moment to moment. People sit down</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:26.080,0:04:31.520
in a cross-legged posture and start&nbsp;
making all kinds of efforts to become</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:31.520,0:04:40.000
aware of their minds’ dynamic content.
But mind, as such, is a fidgety child!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:40.000,0:04:48.640
It doesn’t pay much heed to our efforts. In fact,&nbsp;
it loves to keep jumping from one casual thought,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:48.640,0:04:57.040
thing or action to another, like a monkey.
We try to witness it in its movement with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:57.040,0:05:05.440
our total awareness. It doesn’t say no.&nbsp;
But then, it stealthily slips away from</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:05.440,0:05:13.280
under our attentive control to some of its&nbsp;
other unaware, casual concerns. We always</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:13.280,0:05:21.520
need to keep bringing our awareness back on track.
But the problem is it gets bored over there in its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:21.520,0:05:29.120
pursuit of awareness. The very nature of the mind&nbsp;
is to keep jumping from one concern to another,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:29.120,0:05:36.800
unaware. And the reason is that it is&nbsp;
full of concerns, not only consciously</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:36.800,0:05:44.080
but unconsciously as well. It tends to keep&nbsp;
scanning everything&nbsp;within its consciousness</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.080,0:05:51.440
and even underneath it, unconsciously.
It is this point alone that mindfulness,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:51.440,0:05:58.080
at its best, can take us to. We need to&nbsp;
continuously keep exerting the pressure</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:58.080,0:06:05.360
of our determination on the mind to tame&nbsp;
it into being aware the way we want it to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:05.360,0:06:10.720
But then, who is this ‘we’ who is making&nbsp;
all this Herculean effort to tame our</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:10.720,0:06:18.880
mind? Isn’t it a part of our mind alone?
Anyway, even if we are able to relax the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:18.880,0:06:26.160
mind for an hour or so, it is not of much&nbsp;
use. We are again going to fall back into</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:26.160,0:06:34.080
the same unhealthy disposition. How do&nbsp;
we expect it to do permanent good to us?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:34.080,0:06:40.880
On top of it, the very idea of relaxing&nbsp;
the mind is contradictory in itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:41.760,0:06:48.800
Mind in itself is the name of an entity full&nbsp;
of contradictions, thereby fragmenting itself,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:48.800,0:06:57.920
and hence, fragmenting our ‘self’. As we already&nbsp;
saw in Episode 20, those fragmented parts keep</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:57.920,0:07:07.040
fighting with one another, making a noise. That is&nbsp;
what is called a chattering mind. The techniques</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:07.040,0:07:15.200
listed above try to merely calm it down by&nbsp;
turning it numb or exerting pressure on it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:15.200,0:07:22.720
But the only rational way to stop its chattering&nbsp;
is emptying its content. That is what we call</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:22.720,0:07:30.080
emptying the mind. We have already discussed&nbsp;
it in its operative details in the Episode</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:30.080,0:07:39.520</p>



<ol start="26" class="wp-block-list">
<li>And that is what meditation must&nbsp;
do if it is to do any real good to us.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:39.520,0:07:46.320
At the same time, any such ‘real good’ should&nbsp;
preferably not be limited to any specific duration</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:46.320,0:07:55.120
of time. It should happen twenty-four hours a&nbsp;
day, three-hundred and sixty-five days a year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:55.120,0:08:01.360
That simply means we should try to replace sitting&nbsp;
for meditation with being meditative all day long.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:02.240,0:08:07.360
And that can only be done by&nbsp;
making it our first nature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:07.360,0:08:14.880
Meditating Vs Being Meditative
Once a truly meditative state is reached,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:14.880,0:08:21.600
we no more need to keep sitting for meditation&nbsp;
everyday. We simply need to live in a meditative</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:21.600,0:08:28.400
state all day long. Once we have learnt&nbsp;
how to do this, we need to say goodbye</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:28.400,0:08:34.800
to the idea of ‘sitting in meditation’.
We need to empty our mind with every single</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:34.800,0:08:42.400
breath exhaled while our chakras are open. This&nbsp;
will mean that we can be meditative even while</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:42.400,0:08:50.880
talking to someone, smoking a cigarette, sipping&nbsp;
our wine or while making love, for that matter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:50.880,0:08:59.920
Turning Every Action into Meditation
How can we turn whatever we do into a meditation?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:59.920,0:09:06.640
It is possible when we keep enjoying what we are&nbsp;
doing every single moment of it. It makes us fully</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:06.640,0:09:14.160
involved into the action with total awareness as&nbsp;
opposed to getting indulged into it habitually.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:14.160,0:09:20.080
Let us suppose that we are doing something&nbsp;
that we like doing a lot. There is every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:20.080,0:09:27.040
risk of getting indulged into its action by&nbsp;
emotionally getting attached to it. Let’s</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:27.040,0:09:34.640
take an example of eating our most favorite dish.&nbsp;
Even before we start tasting it, we have already</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:34.640,0:09:42.000
conditioned our taste glands to taste something&nbsp;
familiar that we like. And when we taste it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:42.000,0:09:51.040
we don’t really taste it right now, we just taste&nbsp;
our past perception of it. We live our mental past</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:51.040,0:09:58.240
while chronologically being in the present. That&nbsp;
is how the mind affects the brain’s perception by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:58.240,0:10:07.520
falsely limiting it to a perception of the past.
Now let us play a game. In the same scenario,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:07.520,0:10:14.960
let us pretend we have lost our memory. We no&nbsp;
more remember that it is our favorite dish nor</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:14.960,0:10:23.920
its taste. It depends on how good an actor we&nbsp;
are, being our own audience at the same time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:23.920,0:10:31.440
Let us start eating it now. We would effectively&nbsp;
be tasting it for the first time in our life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:31.440,0:10:37.520
If we are unable to feign loss of memory,&nbsp;
let us take our first bite very slowly,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:37.520,0:10:44.560
tasting it in its totality. This, too, will&nbsp;
effectively result in the feeling that we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:44.560,0:10:51.520
are tasting it for the first time in our life.
Do you see a parallel between the two actions,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:51.520,0:10:58.800
i.e, pretending to have lost one’s memory and&nbsp;
performing an action slowly in its totality? The</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:58.800,0:11:07.120
result is the same in both scenarios. When we do&nbsp;
something slow enough to do it in its totality, we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:07.120,0:11:15.200
have already kept our emotional mind aside which&nbsp;
is akin to keeping our emotional memory aside.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:15.200,0:11:21.360
And we taste the dish like we are tasting&nbsp;
it for the first time in our life. This</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:21.360,0:11:29.680
amounts to tasting it in the present moment.&nbsp;
Liking or not liking it is no more relevant.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:30.400,0:11:38.880
What matters is tasting it afresh with all&nbsp;
its passion and joy or even pain (if so ever).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:38.880,0:11:46.000
Let’s repeat the same experiment, this time&nbsp;
with a dish that we dislike the most. As we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:46.000,0:11:52.960
slowly taste it afresh in its totality,&nbsp;
disliking it is not relevant anymore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:53.680,0:12:02.320
What matters is tasting it afresh with all&nbsp;
its passion and pain or even joy (if so ever).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.320,0:12:08.960
When we perform an action slowly enough to be&nbsp;
able to do it in its totality, we are no more</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:08.960,0:12:18.000
governed by our mind. It is our nervous system&nbsp;
that takes over. And our nervous system is way</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:18.000,0:12:27.200
more intelligent than our mind. It does things&nbsp;
with passion and joy or even pain. All emotional</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:27.200,0:12:35.440
strings attached to the past experiences of liking&nbsp;
or disliking simply vanish into thin air. And</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:35.440,0:12:43.920
the nervous system then performs actions without&nbsp;
ever emotionally liking or disliking them at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:43.920,0:12:49.600
I don’t mean to say that slowness of an action&nbsp;
is the only thing that leads to its totality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:50.720,0:12:58.400
At times, it is just the opposite that works.&nbsp;
For example, running to save a child from</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:58.400,0:13:06.240
being overrun by a speeding car works in its&nbsp;
totality only when done miraculously fast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:06.240,0:13:12.320
However, these same types of slow or fast&nbsp;
actions, when non-meditative,&nbsp;are either</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:12.320,0:13:20.800
lethargic or impulsive, performing those actions&nbsp;
either extra-slow or extra-fast. That is when we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:20.800,0:13:27.520
call them mental lethargy or mental hurry.&nbsp;
The key difference is that when the brain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:27.520,0:13:34.560
is in charge in an independent capacity, which&nbsp;
is what I’m calling the truly meditative state,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:34.560,0:13:42.880
the speed of the action turns optimum; it is&nbsp;
neither extra-slow nor extra-fast. The same</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:42.880,0:13:49.040
happens to the quality of the action as well.
Mental lethargy and mental hurry as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:49.040,0:13:55.520
anti-meditative symptoms were never&nbsp;
as serious as they have become today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:55.520,0:14:01.280
The two are solely responsible for&nbsp;
human actions being non-meditative.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:01.280,0:14:07.920
It doesn’t have to be that way because, as we just&nbsp;
saw above, being meditative all through the day,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:07.920,0:14:15.600
in whatever we do, is no rocket science.
And when we enter that meditative state, we no</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:15.600,0:14:24.720
longer need to ‘sit’ in time-limited meditation.&nbsp;
The very things we do become meditative. The mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:24.720,0:14:30.080
no longer controls the brain and is restricted&nbsp;
to play the role that it has been designed to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:30.080,0:14:39.600
perform. When the brain performs an action in its&nbsp;
totality, it does register it in its memory cells.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:39.600,0:14:46.480
But that memory is not accessible to the mind.
That is how the mind gets trained to remain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:46.480,0:14:52.960
empty and keep doing its job of&nbsp;
comprehending reality quietly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:52.960,0:14:59.760
A meditative action full of joy performed in&nbsp;
its totality with passion leaves no desire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:59.760,0:15:08.480
for recreating it in the future. Similarly, a&nbsp;
meditative action, even if loaded with pain,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:08.480,0:15:15.520
performed in its totality with passion leaves&nbsp;
no anxiety of avoiding it in the future,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:15.520,0:15:22.000
regardless of whether that need to avoid pain&nbsp;
is based on the brain’s objective memory rather</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:22.000,0:15:29.600
than the mind’s emotional memory. When similar&nbsp;
situations ever arise in the future, they become</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:29.600,0:15:38.560
entirely new actions performed afresh right then.&nbsp;
In both cases, no conditioning of the mind occurs,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:38.560,0:15:46.880
thus always keeping it empty. We are only left&nbsp;
with an objective memory of the joy or the pain</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:46.880,0:15:53.920
which our brain remembers along with all the&nbsp;
other details of the said actions spontaneously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:53.920,0:15:59.360
But old habits die hard.
Our already conditioned minds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:59.360,0:16:06.480
pose a tough challenge to being emptied out in&nbsp;
the beginning. For example, when we go out in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:06.480,0:16:13.440
the scorching sun in a hot climate, our mind&nbsp;
contracts our facial muscles. That is how it</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:13.440,0:16:19.760
may turn into an attack of tension headache for&nbsp;
a certain duration of time. The same happens</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:19.760,0:16:28.720
in a snowy blizzard in a cold climate. All these&nbsp;
are conditioned reactions of a conditioned mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:28.720,0:16:35.280
Let’s take another example to address this&nbsp;
problem. Suppose we got an attack of tension</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:35.280,0:16:44.480
headache. When it occurs, we generally tend to&nbsp;
avoid it. But it keeps forcing its pain not only</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:44.480,0:16:51.280
in our head but also on our psyche. &nbsp; &nbsp;
That is how trying to avoid it doubles</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:51.280,0:16:56.320
its uneasiness on our system.
The meditative way to deal with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:56.320,0:17:06.320
it is to stop trying to avoid it. Let us rather&nbsp;
accept it by sensing it in its totality. That is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:06.320,0:17:12.880
what people never do in general.
What happens next?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:12.880,0:17:18.320
As soon as the mind is sidelined by such&nbsp;
emotional acceptance, the brain takes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:18.320,0:17:26.960
the charge. We are left with sensing the said&nbsp;
action in its totality with passion and pain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:26.960,0:17:33.680
The nervous system swiftly assesses something&nbsp;
wrong in the system. It also recognizes the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:33.680,0:17:40.080
source of the pain in the muscles of the head&nbsp;
being pulled down and tucked in. As soon as the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:40.080,0:17:46.480
neural signals direct the contracted muscles&nbsp;
to relax, pain vanishes leaving our senses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:46.480,0:17:54.880
with passion and joy instead of passion and pain.
The mind remains empty until it gets afflicted by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:54.880,0:18:01.840
another habitual pattern of its conditionings.
This way, through being meditative all along,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:01.840,0:18:07.520
we can go on emptying our mind&nbsp;
of its conditionings one by one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:07.520,0:18:14.400
Emptying Mind And Then Keeping It Empty
But as we have seen earlier, there is a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:14.400,0:18:22.560
much better way out. That way is through opening&nbsp;
all the chakras via skeletal re-posturing and then</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:22.560,0:18:30.000
addressing the extended exhalation of breath.&nbsp;
The said impeccable procedure infuses every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:30.000,0:18:37.760
single moment with passion and joy, with action&nbsp;
or without it. That is because breathing becomes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:37.760,0:18:45.360
an effortless action turning all other actions&nbsp;
meditative as well, as and when they take place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:45.360,0:18:48.960
The procedure of Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
rewards us with a surge of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:48.960,0:18:56.560
inexplicable joy with every single breath.
Every single extended exhalation rejuvenates</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:56.560,0:19:01.440
the entire nervous system by keeping&nbsp;
the mind emptied for its duration.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:02.160,0:19:09.760
Skeletal Leap has the power to enable us, the&nbsp;
Homo sapiens, for our next evolutionary leap.</p>

Leap: A Living Adventure! In the next episode,</p>

Welcome back to the 27th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



Today’s episode titled “Doing Meditation 15 Minutes Vs Having A Meditative Mind 24 by 7!” will tell you about skeletal meditation emptying the mind and then keeping it empty for kundalini awakening.



“Breathing is the highest form of meditation.” That is not me talking but a quote often attributed to different eminent authors or philosophers.



In fact, meditation has been revered as a highly esteemed practice in human culture ever since human society took shape with sociocultural evolution.





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







Doing Meditation 15 Minutes Vs Having A Meditative Mind 24 by 7! - Show Notes





In this thought-provoking episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure, titled “Doing Meditation 15 Minutes Vs Having A Meditative Mind 24 by 7!”, I explore the profound connection between mindfulness and daily activities.&nbsp;



Discover how to transform mundane tasks into opportunities for meditation by embracing the present moment with joy and awareness.



I dive deep into the essence of skeletal meditation, emphasizing the importance of emptying the mind to facilitate Kundalini awakening. I further highlight that true meditation transcends the conventional notion of sitting in silence; it can be integrated into every action we undertake.



Citing a survey from the National Institutes of Health, I reveal that many people meditate for wellness, energy, and improved concentration. Yet, I question the effectiveness of traditional meditation practices that often lead to mental lethargy rather than genuine relaxation.



Through engaging anecdotes and insightful reflections, this episode challenges you to rethink your approach to meditation. I illustrate how savoring each moment—whether eating, talking, or even experiencing discomfort—can lead to a deeper sense of awareness and fulfillment.



Join me as I guide you on a journey to make mindfulness a natural part of your life, encouraging you to embrace the joy of living in the present and transforming every action into a meditative experience.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.160,0:00:38.080
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
emptying the mind via breathing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:38.080,0:00:45.120
energy and breathing insight with every&nbsp;
single breath for kundalini awakening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:45.120,0:00:51.200
Breathing becomes the perception of energy with&nbsp;
every single exhalation as chakras are opened,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:51.200,0:00:56.240
removing all obstacles in its&nbsp;
way. The way from the coccyx</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:56.240,0:01:02.400

top of the head) gets fully cleared.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:02.400,0:01:07.760
How Breathing Activates Kundalini
Kundalini rises from the gut to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:07.760,0:01:14.560
brain as it works through the nervous system. It&nbsp;
does so through the spinal cord provided the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:14.560,0:01:22.560
chakras are open. And this is not a one-time&nbsp;
event. It rises every single time the breath</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:22.560,0:01:29.360
gets almost fully exhaled in an absolutely&nbsp;
quiet manner. There is no force that needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:29.360,0:01:37.360
to be exerted at all while exhaling. This way,&nbsp;
it keeps the flow of kundalini, aka insightful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:37.360,0:01:45.120
intelligence, intact incessantly through&nbsp;
the passage of time, every time. Therefore,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:45.120,0:01:53.520
another way to think of kundalini is life energy&nbsp;
that is personalized as insightful intelligence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:53.520,0:02:01.120
The first time kundalini rises through a person’s&nbsp;
spine via the vagus nerve or Sushumna, it may (or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:01.120,0:02:08.640
may not) manifest as tantrums. These tantrums&nbsp;
can take the form of one of several different</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:08.640,0:02:16.800
reactions depending on the person’s psychological&nbsp;
and neurological disposition. Some feel this first</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:16.800,0:02:24.400
rise as an electrifying shock from the left-over&nbsp;
impediments along its way. Some others feel it as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:24.400,0:02:32.880
a sense of extreme joy never experienced before.&nbsp;
There is a full spectrum of reactions as varied</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:32.880,0:02:40.560
as there are persons who feel and express&nbsp;
those reactions. Once the initial honeymoon</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:40.560,0:02:49.040
(or nightmare) is over, it settles down as a&nbsp;
conscious creative potential in the coccyx again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:49.040,0:02:54.880
One cannot take it for granted that this process&nbsp;
will occur automatically over and over again,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:54.880,0:03:01.680
thereby falling back in their mechanical ways&nbsp;
of life from before. Getting this life energy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:01.680,0:03:07.520
of insightful intelligence transferred to&nbsp;
the brain with every single breath still lies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:07.520,0:03:14.800
firmly within the conscious domain of awareness.&nbsp;
Therefore, one needs to keep one’s chakras open</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:14.800,0:03:23.200
as one’s first nature. Once this is successfully&nbsp;
achieved, one needs to become conscious of every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:23.200,0:03:31.440
single breath, no matter what one is doing.
You might now wonder, “Won’t focusing on every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.440,0:03:38.640
single breath divide our attention whenever we&nbsp;
need to focus on something else of importance?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:38.640,0:03:43.520
Not at all! The focus is not&nbsp;
on the breath but, instead,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:43.520,0:03:50.720
on the joy of one’s involvement into the action.
This will ensure that our attention is focused</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:50.720,0:03:57.680
on that very moment. In fact, it stops us&nbsp;
from drifting into the domain of the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:57.680,0:04:05.360
whose emotional emphasis is on past memories and&nbsp;
future imaginations. This type of focus keeps</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:05.360,0:04:10.880
us centrally fixated in the process of thinking&nbsp;
rather than getting swayed by thoughts which is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:10.880,0:04:17.520
what unconsciously disturbs our attention.
For this to happen seamlessly,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:17.520,0:04:24.160
we don’t even need to count our breaths.
That will only make it as mechanical as any</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:24.160,0:04:31.360
other meaningless rituals people employ to&nbsp;
increase concentration like counting beads.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:31.360,0:04:38.320
Concentration and attention aka focus&nbsp;
are two different things altogether!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:38.320,0:04:44.640
Here is something really beautiful. Once the&nbsp;
insight of energy has gotten awakened as a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:44.640,0:04:51.920
potential, every single extended exhalation&nbsp;
of breath performs a miracle. It fills the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:51.920,0:04:59.520
head and the pelvic region simultaneously with an&nbsp;
extreme sense of joy and passion. This joy always</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:59.520,0:05:07.120
remains as fresh, passionate and spontaneous&nbsp;
as it was when we felt it the very first time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:07.120,0:05:13.440
Imagine having a passionate joy of cosmic orgasm&nbsp;
at the crown chakra and a sexual orgasm at the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:13.440,0:05:21.280
pelvis simultaneously with every single exhalation&nbsp;
of breath forever! It quite likely occurs due</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:21.280,0:05:30.240
to an optimum release of serotonin, dopamine,&nbsp;
oxytocin and endorphins in the nervous system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:30.240,0:05:35.760
What else do we want on earth? It is&nbsp;
like finding a perpetual goldmine (if</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:35.760,0:05:41.920
gold is really as important as this)!
What actually happens is that we train</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:41.920,0:05:50.160
ourselves to adopt ‘lightness’ as a personality&nbsp;
style. And we do this while equipping ourselves</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:50.160,0:05:59.200
with its traits, namely, interest, insight&nbsp;
and adventure. Not even the acutest stress</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:59.200,0:06:05.920
can pull us off-track any more. It is like&nbsp;
utilizing the ‘smart vagus’ of Stephen Porges’</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:05.920,0:06:12.720
Polyvagal Theory. That is what strengthens&nbsp;
us in the face of an otherwise sympathetic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:12.720,0:06:19.840
nervous system response of ‘fight or flight’.
In fact, we have done something even bigger</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:19.840,0:06:30.000
than this. We have emptied our mind along the&nbsp;
way. And in doing so, we have become invincible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:30.000,0:06:36.880
And we keep renewing the entire procedure&nbsp;
with every single breath! We no more fear even</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:36.880,0:06:45.440
the most imminent of threats - death. We have&nbsp;
discovered the most artistic way to live life,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:45.440,0:06:53.760
live it here and live it now. And we have learnt&nbsp;
how to do it, here and now and, best of all,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:53.760,0:07:01.280
using clear, physical and measurable techniques.
Consciously extending exhalations a little</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:01.280,0:07:08.880
longer than inhalations after opening all the&nbsp;
seven chakras does it all. And it does it well</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:08.880,0:07:17.120
too. It is simple. It is no rocket science.
As this combination of keeping chakras open</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:17.120,0:07:22.480
while extending exhalations a little longer&nbsp;
than inhalations becomes our first nature,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:22.480,0:07:30.160
the miracle happens. We no more need to keep an&nbsp;
account of both these processes separately in a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:30.160,0:07:38.160
list of ‘things to do’. We just perceive its&nbsp;
effect as a sense of non-stop passionate joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:38.880,0:07:46.800
If ever a break is perceived in that joy, we&nbsp;
immediately need to set it right then and there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:46.800,0:07:52.320
Breathing As Prana
Breathing is not just a simple exchange of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:52.320,0:07:59.760
gases within the lungs. It is way more than that.&nbsp;
That is why in the ancient chakra scriptures,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:59.760,0:08:07.040
it has been named as ‘Prana’ meaning the basic&nbsp;
core of life energy. It is conceived as having the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:07.040,0:08:16.960
following five types of winds in the human system:
Prana - located at head, lungs and heart with an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:16.960,0:08:26.160
inward and downward movement, empties the mind
Apana - located at lower abdomen with an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:26.160,0:08:32.400
outward and downward movement, activates&nbsp;
healthy digestive and reproductive systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:34.080,0:08:40.160
Udana - located at thoracic diaphragm and&nbsp;
throat with an upward movement activates</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:40.160,0:08:49.120
healthy respiratory and communication systems
Samana - located at navel with a spirally churning</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:49.120,0:08:58.400
movement over there activates healthy metabolism
Vyana - located along circulatory system with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:58.400,0:09:04.640
outward movement activates healthy&nbsp;
circulatory and nervous systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.640,0:09:10.960
There is also a mention of ‘Nadis’ meaning&nbsp;
channels in the body like nerves, arteries,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:10.960,0:09:18.800
veins, capillaries, bronchioles, and lymph&nbsp;
canals. The main three among them are:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:20.480,0:09:27.920
Ida - controls mental processes
Pingala&nbsp;- controls vital processes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:28.720,0:09:34.000
Sushumna&nbsp;- connects the root&nbsp;
chakra to the crown chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:34.000,0:09:40.480
Breathing is a biological process of moving air&nbsp;
out from and into the lungs thus replacing carbon</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:40.480,0:09:46.720
dioxide with oxygen. The exchange takes&nbsp;
place in the alveoli through diffusion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:46.720,0:09:53.680
as the gases are transported to and from the&nbsp;
cells by the circulatory system. This makes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:53.680,0:10:01.760
cellular respiration possible where cells extract&nbsp;
energy from digested food through its oxidation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:01.760,0:10:07.600
Carbon dioxide is generated as a waste product&nbsp;
which then needs to be expelled out of the body</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:07.600,0:10:15.120
through external respiration called breathing.
Breathing also controls speaking, laughing,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:15.120,0:10:22.560
creating facial expressions and reflexes&nbsp;
like yawning, coughing and sneezing. The</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:22.560,0:10:28.160
respiratory tract has the following different&nbsp;
parts in it to perform all these activities:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:28.880,0:10:36.640
Upper airways – nasal cavities&nbsp;
comprising nostrils, pharynx and larynx</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:36.640,0:10:44.400
Lower airways – comprising trachea, mainstem&nbsp;
bronchus, lobar bronchus, segmental bronchus,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:44.400,0:10:53.520
bronchiole and alveolar duct named alveolus
Three Different Breathing Styles</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:53.520,0:10:59.760
There are three different breathing styles&nbsp;
that people adopt as a lifelong habit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:00.320,0:11:06.800
Diaphragmatic breathing (Deep breathing) is done&nbsp;
by contracting thoracic diaphragm for inhaling</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:06.800,0:11:14.960
air inside the lungs. It is a muscle located&nbsp;
between the thoracic and the abdominal cavities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:14.960,0:11:22.560
It comprises slow and deep inhalation through the&nbsp;
nose followed by slow and&nbsp;complete exhalation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:22.560,0:11:29.200
Diaphragmatic breathing improves the blood flow&nbsp;
while reducing pulse rate and blood pressure. It</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:29.200,0:11:34.560
also relaxes the vagal nerve and optimizes the&nbsp;
sympathetic mode of the nervous system which</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:34.560,0:11:41.360
is the source of a ‘fight or flight’ response.
It is also one of the best cures for belly fat</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:41.360,0:11:48.880
in particular and weight loss in general.
Shallow breathing, also called thoracic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:48.880,0:11:56.480
breathing or chest breathing uses intercostal&nbsp;
muscles drawing much less air into the lungs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:57.280,0:12:02.800
Clavicular breathing&nbsp;raises the shoulders and&nbsp;
the collarbones (clavicles) while simultaneously</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.800,0:12:10.160
contracting the abdomen for inhalation. Its&nbsp;
process is a very tiring one and cannot be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:10.160,0:12:18.000
held for long durations of maximum air intake.
One must opt for diaphragmatic breathing alone,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:18.000,0:12:24.400
because it takes the maximum air in. It’s&nbsp;
also because diaphragmatic breathing alone</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:24.400,0:12:30.480
can awaken Kundalini pushing it&nbsp;
up after all the chakras go open.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:30.480,0:12:34.640
During exhalation, the lungs are left&nbsp;
with the functional residual capacity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:34.640,0:12:43.120
of air which occupies a volume of 2.5-3&nbsp;
liters. An extended exhalation can reduce</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:43.120,0:12:50.800
it further to 1 liter, not more than that.
In other words, one may extend their exhalation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:50.800,0:12:59.280
such that the leftover air in the lungs is&nbsp;
anywhere between this range of 1 to 2.5-3 liters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.280,0:13:06.160
How Diaphragmatic Breathing Empties The Mind
How can breathing empty the mind?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:06.160,0:13:15.120
Emptying the mind means getting rid of all&nbsp;
its beliefs, habits, fears and desires. If</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:15.120,0:13:23.520
we try to do this through conscious mental effort&nbsp;
using our will power, we fail miserably. This is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:23.520,0:13:31.920
because we are trying to kill the mind by the mind&nbsp;
itself. Why would the mind ever commit suicide?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:32.720,0:13:40.400
It is happy being in control not only of our&nbsp;
psychology but also our biology. It does so by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:40.400,0:13:47.520
turning our perceptions and urges mechanical.
It is only possible to empty the mind using</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:47.520,0:13:55.360
itself when it is posed with an impending&nbsp;
emergency that it has no solution for. It</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:55.360,0:14:02.480
stops working in such an impending scenario.&nbsp;
Consequently, it gets forced to surrender its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:02.480,0:14:10.480
reign over any action that could get rid of the&nbsp;
said scenario. Ultimately, in such a situation,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:10.480,0:14:17.120
the brain takes charge and performs the&nbsp;
appropriate action to come out of that scenario.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:17.120,0:14:23.920
The Story of My Mind Emptying Itself And Handing&nbsp;
Over The Charge to My Brain in An Emergency</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:24.560,0:14:30.320
I remember a story from my life when my spirit of&nbsp;
adventure posed a similar challenge to my mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:30.320,0:14:36.880
And my mind just resigned. But my spirit&nbsp;
still went ahead with my brain alone and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:36.880,0:14:44.720
faced the challenge. My mind was absolutely&nbsp;
emptied in the process and, thus, held back.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:44.720,0:14:50.640
It was in the year 1992 that I visited&nbsp;
a beautiful, high altitude valley in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:50.640,0:14:57.040
the Himalayas named Manali. I had already&nbsp;
booked a cottage for a month-long stay over</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:57.040,0:15:06.560
there. We were three in our family; my wife, my&nbsp;
six-year-old daughter and I. We were enjoying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:06.560,0:15:13.040
our stay, doing something new each day.
After around ten days, we thought of going</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:13.040,0:15:19.280
on an unconventional trek in the valley - a&nbsp;
trek along the untrodden side of the River</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:19.280,0:15:22.800
Beas that flowed through the valley. There&nbsp;
was no road on that side of the river. Any</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:22.800,0:15:28.160
roads that existed&nbsp;would be on the&nbsp;
other side of the river from our trek.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:28.160,0:15:33.040
Regardless, we started our trek&nbsp;
and kept moving along the river,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:33.040,0:15:42.640
upstream. After around half an hour of our trek,&nbsp;
the river got us stuck. It was taking a sharp turn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:42.640,0:15:49.440
there after hitting a high rock on our side of&nbsp;
the trek. So, there was no way to go further.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:50.080,0:15:58.000
We were a little disappointed. I looked around the&nbsp;
hill to the side of the river. I was looking for a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:58.000,0:16:05.600
bridle path, hoping to climb up a little and then&nbsp;
come down to move further along the river. That</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:05.600,0:16:12.240
way, we could have circumvented the sharp turn and&nbsp;
climbed down to the river ahead of the sharp turn.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:12.960,0:16:19.120
As I was investigating the visible bridle&nbsp;
paths, I spotted a man standing at the hilltop</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:19.120,0:16:27.840
looking curiously toward us. I shouted,&nbsp;
aiming my voice in his direction, “Hey!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:27.840,0:16:34.240
“Hey!” the man shouted back from the hilltop.
I explained to him in my sign language</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:34.240,0:16:38.320
what we were up to.
Seemingly a local,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:38.320,0:16:44.480
he immediately understood what we wanted. He&nbsp;
threw a fleeting look along the bridle paths</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:44.480,0:16:52.000
up the hill. Then he looked down around the&nbsp;
river bend, and then waved at us to climb up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:52.000,0:17:01.360
As we started climbing up, I spotted him coming&nbsp;
down toward us as well. That surprised me a bit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:01.360,0:17:08.960
But as we climbed up a little further, I realized&nbsp;
why he had made his way down. As we reached a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:08.960,0:17:17.520
nearly horizontal patch lined up with a nearly&nbsp;
vertical rock, we found him standing up there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.520,0:17:23.360
What a helping spirit combined with&nbsp;
a curious involvement! He smiled,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:23.360,0:17:31.040
sitting atop the approximately 7 feet high&nbsp;
rock tilted at around 105o from the patch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:31.920,0:17:39.680
“I had seen this rock from above and I knew you&nbsp;
would need my help to climb it,” he said, smiling.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:39.680,0:17:47.840
“Thanks a lot!” I felt grateful. As I looked&nbsp;
down once from where we were standing, I found</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:47.840,0:17:55.520
us to be exactly over the river-bend which meant&nbsp;
that, by then, we had climbed a few hundred feet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:56.240,0:18:02.400
The man lied down on his stomach on the&nbsp;
horizontal patch&nbsp;atop the rock. From there,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:02.400,0:18:10.480
he hung his arms down along the slope of the rock.
First, my wife held his hands and I pushed her</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:10.480,0:18:17.120
from behind as he pulled her up to the top.
As the patch above the top was comparatively</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:17.120,0:18:24.640
narrow, he made her sit a little away on a gentle&nbsp;
slope. Then he came back to the rock-top and lied</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:24.640,0:18:32.800
down on his stomach hanging his arms down, again.&nbsp;
This time, I lifted my daughter and pushed her up</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:32.800,0:18:40.320
from behind as he pulled her up easily. He made&nbsp;
her sit along with my wife and came back to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:40.320,0:18:48.400
rock-top again. As he lied down on his stomach&nbsp;
a third time hanging his arms down to pull me up</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:48.400,0:18:57.360
now, he realized it wouldn’t work.
“Oh!” he exclaimed, disappointed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:57.360,0:19:03.280
By then I, too, had realized that we&nbsp;
had not accounted for this scenario.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:03.280,0:19:09.200
With my wife and my daughter, I was&nbsp;
there below to push them up. But now,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:09.200,0:19:16.240
I was alone with no one to do the same for me.
The man and I looked into each other’s eyes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:16.240,0:19:21.760
and then down at the river below&nbsp;
flowing with roaring ferocity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:21.760,0:19:28.800
“We forgot this,” I said.
“Now?” he asked me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:28.800,0:19:35.440
“It’s risky,” I said with a sigh.
“Disappointing,” he sighed back</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:35.440,0:19:42.320
dropping his head on the top of the rock.
“Hey! Is it really impossible?” I looked</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:42.320,0:19:51.200
at the height and the slope of the rock.
“Not exactly, but yes, almost!” he opined.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:51.200,0:20:00.720
“Why don’t we do it! I can push myself up with&nbsp;
all my might,” my adventure bug bit me further.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:00.720,0:20:06.480
“I don’t bother about myself. But you have a&nbsp;
family along. If you aren’t able to make it the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:06.480,0:20:14.000
very first time, we both will be down there in&nbsp;
the river. We will be flown away by its gushing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:14.000,0:20:22.080
waters…not to be found even as dead bodies,&nbsp;
ever! A drowning man catches at a straw. So,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:22.080,0:20:29.120
you’ll end up pulling me down as well!”&nbsp;
he explained what all it could entail.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:29.120,0:20:35.200
“Oh, then send them back and we will go down&nbsp;
the way we came up from,” I felt concerned</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:35.200,0:20:42.800
about a stranger’s life not to be jeopardized.
“But I won’t feel good!” he exclaimed as he</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:42.800,0:20:49.520
looked into my eyes intently.
I kept looking back into his.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:49.520,0:20:55.120
“Okay, let’s do it. Just take care to sync&nbsp;
your push with my pull exactly at the same</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:55.120,0:21:02.720
moment,” he finally gave his verdict.
“Think twice before you say yes,” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:03.760,0:21:10.560
“You too!” came his reply.
“Ready?” I asked.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:10.560,0:21:14.960
“Ready?” he asked.
We both started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:14.960,0:21:24.320
counting aloud, “ One, two, three!”
As we counted three, I found myself lying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:24.320,0:21:32.400
along him up on the patch at the top of the rock.
Two sighs of relief from the two of us and we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:32.400,0:21:41.280
smiled calmly looking at each other’s faces!
I did it. In fact, my body did it. I didn’t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:41.280,0:21:47.280
know how I had done it. It was exactly like&nbsp;
what that middle-aged mechanic in my story in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:47.280,0:21:54.240
Episode 19 had done. He, too, didn’t have&nbsp;
any clue to how he had done what he had.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:55.040,0:22:00.640
My wife and daughter were oblivious&nbsp;
to what we both had come up through.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:00.640,0:22:07.200
My mind was just empty and it remained&nbsp;
so for a long while after.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:07.200,0:22:11.920
But habits die hard. The entire&nbsp;
pattern comes back to the same</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:11.920,0:22:20.160
square one once the emergency gets over.
Hence, though imminent emergencies can empty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:20.160,0:22:28.240
our mind in a flash of a second, they aren’t a&nbsp;
permanent modus operandi. But yes, they can give</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.240,0:22:35.920
us an instant glimpse of what an empty mind feels&nbsp;
and works like. They can certainly demonstrate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:35.920,0:22:43.840
the superiority of any action done on our part&nbsp;
without any doubt about it. That was what had</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:43.840,0:22:52.000
happened in the above-mentioned story as well as&nbsp;
in the mechanic’s story mentioned in Episode 19.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:52.000,0:23:00.160
How to Empty The Mind Permanently
But then, how can the mind be permanently emptied?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:00.160,0:23:07.280
Remember the firsthand account of a first&nbsp;
timer in skydiving quoted before in Episode 20?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:07.280,0:23:16.240
I repeat it here for your convenience:
I was OUT… everything mentally ended… over…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:16.240,0:23:25.840
started… me… perhaps more dead than alive… perhaps&nbsp;
more alive than I will ever be… breathing just as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:25.840,0:23:35.600
I had been taught… wind… wind and breath… until&nbsp;
wind and breath became indiscernible, became as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:35.600,0:23:45.520
one… and yes, almost weightless… it was true! …&nbsp;
weightless and so surreal… there was the earth,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:45.520,0:23:54.960
neither coming at me, nor me at it, … no&nbsp;
up… no down… no me, in the ego sense of me,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:54.960,0:24:03.200
just some thoughtless consciousness… and&nbsp;
yes, it was awesome simply to be… or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:03.200,0:24:10.800
The sky was in my lungs and it never once&nbsp;
occurred to me would the parachute open.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:10.800,0:24:19.520
It is a perfect example of a mind having gone&nbsp;
empty. And what a tremendous experience this was!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:19.520,0:24:27.600
But unfortunately, this, too, stays only for a&nbsp;
maximum duration of 6-7 minutes. That is while</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:27.600,0:24:34.880
the skydiver is falling free before the parachute&nbsp;
opens. We could extend this time with the help of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:34.880,0:24:43.760
a virtual reality simulator without even having&nbsp;
a real skydiving session. But how long for?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:43.760,0:24:48.960
We could even consider improving the quality&nbsp;
of virtual free-fall simulator as compared</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:48.960,0:24:55.360
to a real skydiving session. That could&nbsp;
even entail removing the decelerating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:55.360,0:25:01.360
effect of air with a better control on&nbsp;
experiencing acceleration due to gravity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:02.240,0:25:07.200
We could hypothesize that such a perfect&nbsp;
simulation for a certain minimum time</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:07.200,0:25:13.120
might empty the mind permanently as well.
In fact, I am already working on a project</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:13.120,0:25:20.240
that proposes to testify this hypothesis&nbsp;
under strict laboratory conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:20.240,0:25:27.200
But we cannot wait for this hypothesis to&nbsp;
get proved correct. We do have a surer method</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:27.200,0:25:33.360
though a little slower than the proposed&nbsp;
hypothesis, at least for the time being.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:33.360,0:25:40.000
And that is what I have already mentioned&nbsp;
in this episode. We can easily keep emptying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:40.000,0:25:47.440
our mind continuously with every single extended&nbsp;
exhalation when all our chakras are open. From a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:47.440,0:25:54.800
vitalistic angle, it amounts to sending periodical&nbsp;
surges of kundalini from an open root chakra to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:54.800,0:26:02.880
an open crown chakra. From a materialistic angle,&nbsp;
it amounts to sending periodical surges of neural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:02.880,0:26:08.960
communication from the gut to the brain.
Whatever it might be, but it does fill the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:08.960,0:26:16.720
crown of the head with inexplicable joy through&nbsp;
every single extended exhalation. Along with joy,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:16.720,0:26:22.560
it also embellishes the brain with&nbsp;
newer energy and newer insights.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:22.560,0:26:29.120
And every surge of this inexplicable joy keeps&nbsp;
the mind emptied for its duration, in fact a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:29.120,0:26:38.160
little longer. Before it starts waning, the next&nbsp;
surge appears with the next extended exhalation,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:38.160,0:26:41.722
reinforcing the mind’s emptiness again.
In case we ever miss the sequence, the sky</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:41.722,0:26:41.995
is not going to fall loose on earth. We can pick&nbsp;
the thread of breath up from wherever it right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:41.995,0:26:42.240
now is and restart the sequence once again.
That is what Skeletal Leap rewards us with!</p>

My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome to “Skeletal Leap:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:26.400,0:00:34.160
A Living Adventure”. Skeletal Leap&nbsp;
transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.160,0:00:38.080
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
emptying the mind via breathing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:38.080,0:00:45.120
energy and breathing insight with every&nbsp;
single breath for kundalini awakening.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:45.120,0:00:51.200
Breathing becomes the perception of energy with&nbsp;
every single exhalation as chakras are opened,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:51.200,0:00:56.240
removing all obstacles in its&nbsp;
way. The way from the coccyx</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:56.240,0:01:02.400
(at the pelvis) to the crown (at the&nbsp;
top of the head) gets fully cleared.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:02.400,0:01:07.760
How Breathing Activates Kundalini
Kundalini rises from the gut to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:07.760,0:01:14.560
brain as it works through the nervous system. It&nbsp;
does so through the spinal cord provided the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:14.560,0:01:22.560
chakras are open. And this is not a one-time&nbsp;
event. It rises every single time the breath</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:22.560,0:01:29.360
gets almost fully exhaled in an absolutely&nbsp;
quiet manner. There is no force that needs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:29.360,0:01:37.360
to be exerted at all while exhaling. This way,&nbsp;
it keeps the flow of kundalini, aka insightful</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:37.360,0:01:45.120
intelligence, intact incessantly through&nbsp;
the passage of time, every time. Therefore,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:45.120,0:01:53.520
another way to think of kundalini is life energy&nbsp;
that is personalized as insightful intelligence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:53.520,0:02:01.120
The first time kundalini rises through a person’s&nbsp;
spine via the vagus nerve or Sushumna, it may (or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:01.120,0:02:08.640
may not) manifest as tantrums. These tantrums&nbsp;
can take the form of one of several different</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:08.640,0:02:16.800
reactions depending on the person’s psychological&nbsp;
and neurological disposition. Some feel this first</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:16.800,0:02:24.400
rise as an electrifying shock from the left-over&nbsp;
impediments along its way. Some others feel it as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:24.400,0:02:32.880
a sense of extreme joy never experienced before.&nbsp;
There is a full spectrum of reactions as varied</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:32.880,0:02:40.560
as there are persons who feel and express&nbsp;
those reactions. Once the initial honeymoon</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:40.560,0:02:49.040
(or nightmare) is over, it settles down as a&nbsp;
conscious creative potential in the coccyx again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:49.040,0:02:54.880
One cannot take it for granted that this process&nbsp;
will occur automatically over and over again,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:54.880,0:03:01.680
thereby falling back in their mechanical ways&nbsp;
of life from before. Getting this life energy</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:01.680,0:03:07.520
of insightful intelligence transferred to&nbsp;
the brain with every single breath still lies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:07.520,0:03:14.800
firmly within the conscious domain of awareness.&nbsp;
Therefore, one needs to keep one’s chakras open</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:14.800,0:03:23.200
as one’s first nature. Once this is successfully&nbsp;
achieved, one needs to become conscious of every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:23.200,0:03:31.440
single breath, no matter what one is doing.
You might now wonder, “Won’t focusing on every</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:31.440,0:03:38.640
single breath divide our attention whenever we&nbsp;
need to focus on something else of importance?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:38.640,0:03:43.520
Not at all! The focus is not&nbsp;
on the breath but, instead,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:43.520,0:03:50.720
on the joy of one’s involvement into the action.
This will ensure that our attention is focused</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:50.720,0:03:57.680
on that very moment. In fact, it stops us&nbsp;
from drifting into the domain of the mind</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:57.680,0:04:05.360
whose emotional emphasis is on past memories and&nbsp;
future imaginations. This type of focus keeps</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:05.360,0:04:10.880
us centrally fixated in the process of thinking&nbsp;
rather than getting swayed by thoughts which is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:10.880,0:04:17.520
what unconsciously disturbs our attention.
For this to happen seamlessly,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:17.520,0:04:24.160
we don’t even need to count our breaths.
That will only make it as mechanical as any</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:24.160,0:04:31.360
other meaningless rituals people employ to&nbsp;
increase concentration like counting beads.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:31.360,0:04:38.320
Concentration and attention aka focus&nbsp;
are two different things altogether!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:38.320,0:04:44.640
Here is something really beautiful. Once the&nbsp;
insight of energy has gotten awakened as a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:44.640,0:04:51.920
potential, every single extended exhalation&nbsp;
of breath performs a miracle. It fills the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:51.920,0:04:59.520
head and the pelvic region simultaneously with an&nbsp;
extreme sense of joy and passion. This joy always</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:59.520,0:05:07.120
remains as fresh, passionate and spontaneous&nbsp;
as it was when we felt it the very first time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:07.120,0:05:13.440
Imagine having a passionate joy of cosmic orgasm&nbsp;
at the crown chakra and a sexual orgasm at the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:13.440,0:05:21.280
pelvis simultaneously with every single exhalation&nbsp;
of breath forever! It quite likely occurs due</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:21.280,0:05:30.240
to an optimum release of serotonin, dopamine,&nbsp;
oxytocin and endorphins in the nervous system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:30.240,0:05:35.760
What else do we want on earth? It is&nbsp;
like finding a perpetual goldmine (if</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:35.760,0:05:41.920
gold is really as important as this)!
What actually happens is that we train</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:41.920,0:05:50.160
ourselves to adopt ‘lightness’ as a personality&nbsp;
style. And we do this while equipping ourselves</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:50.160,0:05:59.200
with its traits, namely, interest, insight&nbsp;
and adventure. Not even the acutest stress</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:59.200,0:06:05.920
can pull us off-track any more. It is like&nbsp;
utilizing the ‘smart vagus’ of Stephen Porges’</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:05.920,0:06:12.720
Polyvagal Theory. That is what strengthens&nbsp;
us in the face of an otherwise sympathetic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:12.720,0:06:19.840
nervous system response of ‘fight or flight’.
In fact, we have done something even bigger</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:19.840,0:06:30.000
than this. We have emptied our mind along the&nbsp;
way. And in doing so, we have become invincible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:30.000,0:06:36.880
And we keep renewing the entire procedure&nbsp;
with every single breath! We no more fear even</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:36.880,0:06:45.440
the most imminent of threats - death. We have&nbsp;
discovered the most artistic way to live life,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:45.440,0:06:53.760
live it here and live it now. And we have learnt&nbsp;
how to do it, here and now and, best of all,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:53.760,0:07:01.280
using clear, physical and measurable techniques.
Consciously extending exhalations a little</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:01.280,0:07:08.880
longer than inhalations after opening all the&nbsp;
seven chakras does it all. And it does it well</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:08.880,0:07:17.120
too. It is simple. It is no rocket science.
As this combination of keeping chakras open</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:17.120,0:07:22.480
while extending exhalations a little longer&nbsp;
than inhalations becomes our first nature,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:22.480,0:07:30.160
the miracle happens. We no more need to keep an&nbsp;
account of both these processes separately in a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:30.160,0:07:38.160
list of ‘things to do’. We just perceive its&nbsp;
effect as a sense of non-stop passionate joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:38.880,0:07:46.800
If ever a break is perceived in that joy, we&nbsp;
immediately need to set it right then and there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:46.800,0:07:52.320
Breathing As Prana
Breathing is not just a simple exchange of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:52.320,0:07:59.760
gases within the lungs. It is way more than that.&nbsp;
That is why in the ancient chakra scriptures,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:59.760,0:08:07.040
it has been named as ‘Prana’ meaning the basic&nbsp;
core of life energy. It is conceived as having the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:07.040,0:08:16.960
following five types of winds in the human system:
Prana - located at head, lungs and heart with an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:16.960,0:08:26.160
inward and downward movement, empties the mind
Apana - located at lower abdomen with an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:26.160,0:08:32.400
outward and downward movement, activates&nbsp;
healthy digestive and reproductive systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:34.080,0:08:40.160
Udana - located at thoracic diaphragm and&nbsp;
throat with an upward movement activates</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:40.160,0:08:49.120
healthy respiratory and communication systems
Samana - located at navel with a spirally churning</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:49.120,0:08:58.400
movement over there activates healthy metabolism
Vyana - located along circulatory system with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:58.400,0:09:04.640
outward movement activates healthy&nbsp;
circulatory and nervous systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.640,0:09:10.960
There is also a mention of ‘Nadis’ meaning&nbsp;
channels in the body like nerves, arteries,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:10.960,0:09:18.800
veins, capillaries, bronchioles, and lymph&nbsp;
canals. The main three among them are:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:20.480,0:09:27.920
Ida - controls mental processes
Pingala&nbsp;- controls vital processes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:28.720,0:09:34.000
Sushumna&nbsp;- connects the root&nbsp;
chakra to the crown chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:34.000,0:09:40.480
Breathing is a biological process of moving air&nbsp;
out from and into the lungs thus replacing carbon</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:40.480,0:09:46.720
dioxide with oxygen. The exchange takes&nbsp;
place in the alveoli through diffusion</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:46.720,0:09:53.680
as the gases are transported to and from the&nbsp;
cells by the circulatory system. This makes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:53.680,0:10:01.760
cellular respiration possible where cells extract&nbsp;
energy from digested food through its oxidation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:01.760,0:10:07.600
Carbon dioxide is generated as a waste product&nbsp;
which then needs to be expelled out of the body</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:07.600,0:10:15.120
through external respiration called breathing.
Breathing also controls speaking, laughing,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:15.120,0:10:22.560
creating facial expressions and reflexes&nbsp;
like yawning, coughing and sneezing. The</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:22.560,0:10:28.160
respiratory tract has the following different&nbsp;
parts in it to perform all these activities:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:28.880,0:10:36.640
Upper airways – nasal cavities&nbsp;
comprising nostrils, pharynx and larynx</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:36.640,0:10:44.400
Lower airways – comprising trachea, mainstem&nbsp;
bronchus, lobar bronchus, segmental bronchus,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:44.400,0:10:53.520
bronchiole and alveolar duct named alveolus
Three Different Breathing Styles</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:53.520,0:10:59.760
There are three different breathing styles&nbsp;
that people adopt as a lifelong habit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:00.320,0:11:06.800
Diaphragmatic breathing (Deep breathing) is done&nbsp;
by contracting thoracic diaphragm for inhaling</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:06.800,0:11:14.960
air inside the lungs. It is a muscle located&nbsp;
between the thoracic and the abdominal cavities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:14.960,0:11:22.560
It comprises slow and deep inhalation through the&nbsp;
nose followed by slow and&nbsp;complete exhalation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:22.560,0:11:29.200
Diaphragmatic breathing improves the blood flow&nbsp;
while reducing pulse rate and blood pressure. It</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:29.200,0:11:34.560
also relaxes the vagal nerve and optimizes the&nbsp;
sympathetic mode of the nervous system which</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:34.560,0:11:41.360
is the source of a ‘fight or flight’ response.
It is also one of the best cures for belly fat</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:41.360,0:11:48.880
in particular and weight loss in general.
Shallow breathing, also called thoracic</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:48.880,0:11:56.480
breathing or chest breathing uses intercostal&nbsp;
muscles drawing much less air into the lungs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:57.280,0:12:02.800
Clavicular breathing&nbsp;raises the shoulders and&nbsp;
the collarbones (clavicles) while simultaneously</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.800,0:12:10.160
contracting the abdomen for inhalation. Its&nbsp;
process is a very tiring one and cannot be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:10.160,0:12:18.000
held for long durations of maximum air intake.
One must opt for diaphragmatic breathing alone,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:18.000,0:12:24.400
because it takes the maximum air in. It’s&nbsp;
also because diaphragmatic breathing alone</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:24.400,0:12:30.480
can awaken Kundalini pushing it&nbsp;
up after all the chakras go open.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:30.480,0:12:34.640
During exhalation, the lungs are left&nbsp;
with the functional residual capacity</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:34.640,0:12:43.120
of air which occupies a volume of 2.5-3&nbsp;
liters. An extended exhalation can reduce</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:43.120,0:12:50.800
it further to 1 liter, not more than that.
In other words, one may extend their exhalation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:50.800,0:12:59.280
such that the leftover air in the lungs is&nbsp;
anywhere between this range of 1 to 2.5-3 liters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:59.280,0:13:06.160
How Diaphragmatic Breathing Empties The Mind
How can breathing empty the mind?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:06.160,0:13:15.120
Emptying the mind means getting rid of all&nbsp;
its beliefs, habits, fears and desires. If</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:15.120,0:13:23.520
we try to do this through conscious mental effort&nbsp;
using our will power, we fail miserably. This is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:23.520,0:13:31.920
because we are trying to kill the mind by the mind&nbsp;
itself. Why would the mind ever commit suicide?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:32.720,0:13:40.400
It is happy being in control not only of our&nbsp;
psychology but also our biology. It does so by</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:40.400,0:13:47.520
turning our perceptions and urges mechanical.
It is only possible to empty the mind using</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:47.520,0:13:55.360
itself when it is posed with an impending&nbsp;
emergency that it has no solution for. It</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:55.360,0:14:02.480
stops working in such an impending scenario.&nbsp;
Consequently, it gets forced to surrender its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:02.480,0:14:10.480
reign over any action that could get rid of the&nbsp;
said scenario. Ultimately, in such a situation,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:10.480,0:14:17.120
the brain takes charge and performs the&nbsp;
appropriate action to come out of that scenario.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:17.120,0:14:23.920
The Story of My Mind Emptying Itself And Handing&nbsp;
Over The Charge to My Brain in An Emergency</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:24.560,0:14:30.320
I remember a story from my life when my spirit of&nbsp;
adventure posed a similar challenge to my mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:30.320,0:14:36.880
And my mind just resigned. But my spirit&nbsp;
still went ahead with my brain alone and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:36.880,0:14:44.720
faced the challenge. My mind was absolutely&nbsp;
emptied in the process and, thus, held back.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:44.720,0:14:50.640
It was in the year 1992 that I visited&nbsp;
a beautiful, high altitude valley in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:50.640,0:14:57.040
the Himalayas named Manali. I had already&nbsp;
booked a cottage for a month-long stay over</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:57.040,0:15:06.560
there. We were three in our family; my wife, my&nbsp;
six-year-old daughter and I. We were enjoying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:06.560,0:15:13.040
our stay, doing something new each day.
After around ten days, we thought of going</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:13.040,0:15:19.280
on an unconventional trek in the valley - a&nbsp;
trek along the untrodden side of the River</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:19.280,0:15:22.800
Beas that flowed through the valley. There&nbsp;
was no road on that side of the river. Any</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:22.800,0:15:28.160
roads that existed&nbsp;would be on the&nbsp;
other side of the river from our trek.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:28.160,0:15:33.040
Regardless, we started our trek&nbsp;
and kept moving along the river,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:33.040,0:15:42.640
upstream. After around half an hour of our trek,&nbsp;
the river got us stuck. It was taking a sharp turn</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:42.640,0:15:49.440
there after hitting a high rock on our side of&nbsp;
the trek. So, there was no way to go further.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:50.080,0:15:58.000
We were a little disappointed. I looked around the&nbsp;
hill to the side of the river. I was looking for a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:58.000,0:16:05.600
bridle path, hoping to climb up a little and then&nbsp;
come down to move further along the river. That</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:05.600,0:16:12.240
way, we could have circumvented the sharp turn and&nbsp;
climbed down to the river ahead of the sharp turn.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:12.960,0:16:19.120
As I was investigating the visible bridle&nbsp;
paths, I spotted a man standing at the hilltop</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:19.120,0:16:27.840
looking curiously toward us. I shouted,&nbsp;
aiming my voice in his direction, “Hey!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:27.840,0:16:34.240
“Hey!” the man shouted back from the hilltop.
I explained to him in my sign language</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:34.240,0:16:38.320
what we were up to.
Seemingly a local,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:38.320,0:16:44.480
he immediately understood what we wanted. He&nbsp;
threw a fleeting look along the bridle paths</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:44.480,0:16:52.000
up the hill. Then he looked down around the&nbsp;
river bend, and then waved at us to climb up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:52.000,0:17:01.360
As we started climbing up, I spotted him coming&nbsp;
down toward us as well. That surprised me a bit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:01.360,0:17:08.960
But as we climbed up a little further, I realized&nbsp;
why he had made his way down. As we reached a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:08.960,0:17:17.520
nearly horizontal patch lined up with a nearly&nbsp;
vertical rock, we found him standing up there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.520,0:17:23.360
What a helping spirit combined with&nbsp;
a curious involvement! He smiled,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:23.360,0:17:31.040
sitting atop the approximately 7 feet high&nbsp;
rock tilted at around 105o from the patch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:31.920,0:17:39.680
“I had seen this rock from above and I knew you&nbsp;
would need my help to climb it,” he said, smiling.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:39.680,0:17:47.840
“Thanks a lot!” I felt grateful. As I looked&nbsp;
down once from where we were standing, I found</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:47.840,0:17:55.520
us to be exactly over the river-bend which meant&nbsp;
that, by then, we had climbed a few hundred feet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:56.240,0:18:02.400
The man lied down on his stomach on the&nbsp;
horizontal patch&nbsp;atop the rock. From there,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:02.400,0:18:10.480
he hung his arms down along the slope of the rock.
First, my wife held his hands and I pushed her</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:10.480,0:18:17.120
from behind as he pulled her up to the top.
As the patch above the top was comparatively</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:17.120,0:18:24.640
narrow, he made her sit a little away on a gentle&nbsp;
slope. Then he came back to the rock-top and lied</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:24.640,0:18:32.800
down on his stomach hanging his arms down, again.&nbsp;
This time, I lifted my daughter and pushed her up</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:32.800,0:18:40.320
from behind as he pulled her up easily. He made&nbsp;
her sit along with my wife and came back to the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:40.320,0:18:48.400
rock-top again. As he lied down on his stomach&nbsp;
a third time hanging his arms down to pull me up</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:48.400,0:18:57.360
now, he realized it wouldn’t work.
“Oh!” he exclaimed, disappointed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:57.360,0:19:03.280
By then I, too, had realized that we&nbsp;
had not accounted for this scenario.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:03.280,0:19:09.200
With my wife and my daughter, I was&nbsp;
there below to push them up. But now,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:09.200,0:19:16.240
I was alone with no one to do the same for me.
The man and I looked into each other’s eyes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:16.240,0:19:21.760
and then down at the river below&nbsp;
flowing with roaring ferocity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:21.760,0:19:28.800
“We forgot this,” I said.
“Now?” he asked me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:28.800,0:19:35.440
“It’s risky,” I said with a sigh.
“Disappointing,” he sighed back</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:35.440,0:19:42.320
dropping his head on the top of the rock.
“Hey! Is it really impossible?” I looked</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:42.320,0:19:51.200
at the height and the slope of the rock.
“Not exactly, but yes, almost!” he opined.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:51.200,0:20:00.720
“Why don’t we do it! I can push myself up with&nbsp;
all my might,” my adventure bug bit me further.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:00.720,0:20:06.480
“I don’t bother about myself. But you have a&nbsp;
family along. If you aren’t able to make it the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:06.480,0:20:14.000
very first time, we both will be down there in&nbsp;
the river. We will be flown away by its gushing</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:14.000,0:20:22.080
waters…not to be found even as dead bodies,&nbsp;
ever! A drowning man catches at a straw. So,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:22.080,0:20:29.120
you’ll end up pulling me down as well!”&nbsp;
he explained what all it could entail.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:29.120,0:20:35.200
“Oh, then send them back and we will go down&nbsp;
the way we came up from,” I felt concerned</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:35.200,0:20:42.800
about a stranger’s life not to be jeopardized.
“But I won’t feel good!” he exclaimed as he</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:42.800,0:20:49.520
looked into my eyes intently.
I kept looking back into his.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:49.520,0:20:55.120
“Okay, let’s do it. Just take care to sync&nbsp;
your push with my pull exactly at the same</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:55.120,0:21:02.720
moment,” he finally gave his verdict.
“Think twice before you say yes,” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:03.760,0:21:10.560
“You too!” came his reply.
“Ready?” I asked.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:10.560,0:21:14.960
“Ready?” he asked.
We both started</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:14.960,0:21:24.320
counting aloud, “ One, two, three!”
As we counted three, I found myself lying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:24.320,0:21:32.400
along him up on the patch at the top of the rock.
Two sighs of relief from the two of us and we</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:32.400,0:21:41.280
smiled calmly looking at each other’s faces!
I did it. In fact, my body did it. I didn’t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:41.280,0:21:47.280
know how I had done it. It was exactly like&nbsp;
what that middle-aged mechanic in my story in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:47.280,0:21:54.240
Episode 19 had done. He, too, didn’t have&nbsp;
any clue to how he had done what he had.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:55.040,0:22:00.640
My wife and daughter were oblivious&nbsp;
to what we both had come up through.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:00.640,0:22:07.200
My mind was just empty and it remained&nbsp;
so for a long while after.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:07.200,0:22:11.920
But habits die hard. The entire&nbsp;
pattern comes back to the same</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:11.920,0:22:20.160
square one once the emergency gets over.
Hence, though imminent emergencies can empty</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:20.160,0:22:28.240
our mind in a flash of a second, they aren’t a&nbsp;
permanent modus operandi. But yes, they can give</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.240,0:22:35.920
us an instant glimpse of what an empty mind feels&nbsp;
and works like. They can certainly demonstrate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:35.920,0:22:43.840
the superiority of any action done on our part&nbsp;
without any doubt about it. That was what had</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:43.840,0:22:52.000
happened in the above-mentioned story as well as&nbsp;
in the mechanic’s story mentioned in Episode 19.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:52.000,0:23:00.160
How to Empty The Mind Permanently
But then, how can the mind be permanently emptied?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:00.160,0:23:07.280
Remember the firsthand account of a first&nbsp;
timer in skydiving quoted before in Episode 20?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:07.280,0:23:16.240
I repeat it here for your convenience:
I was OUT… everything mentally ended… over…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:16.240,0:23:25.840
started… me… perhaps more dead than alive… perhaps&nbsp;
more alive than I will ever be… breathing just as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:25.840,0:23:35.600
I had been taught… wind… wind and breath… until&nbsp;
wind and breath became indiscernible, became as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:35.600,0:23:45.520
one… and yes, almost weightless… it was true! …&nbsp;
weightless and so surreal… there was the earth,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:45.520,0:23:54.960
neither coming at me, nor me at it, … no&nbsp;
up… no down… no me, in the ego sense of me,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:54.960,0:24:03.200
just some thoughtless consciousness… and&nbsp;
yes, it was awesome simply to be… or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:03.200,0:24:10.800
The sky was in my lungs and it never once&nbsp;
occurred to me would the parachute open.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:10.800,0:24:19.520
It is a perfect example of a mind having gone&nbsp;
empty. And what a tremendous experience this was!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:19.520,0:24:27.600
But unfortunately, this, too, stays only for a&nbsp;
maximum duration of 6-7 minutes. That is while</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:27.600,0:24:34.880
the skydiver is falling free before the parachute&nbsp;
opens. We could extend this time with the help of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:34.880,0:24:43.760
a virtual reality simulator without even having&nbsp;
a real skydiving session. But how long for?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:43.760,0:24:48.960
We could even consider improving the quality&nbsp;
of virtual free-fall simulator as compared</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:48.960,0:24:55.360
to a real skydiving session. That could&nbsp;
even entail removing the decelerating</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:55.360,0:25:01.360
effect of air with a better control on&nbsp;
experiencing acceleration due to gravity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:02.240,0:25:07.200
We could hypothesize that such a perfect&nbsp;
simulation for a certain minimum time</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:07.200,0:25:13.120
might empty the mind permanently as well.
In fact, I am already working on a project</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:13.120,0:25:20.240
that proposes to testify this hypothesis&nbsp;
under strict laboratory conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:20.240,0:25:27.200
But we cannot wait for this hypothesis to&nbsp;
get proved correct. We do have a surer method</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:27.200,0:25:33.360
though a little slower than the proposed&nbsp;
hypothesis, at least for the time being.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:33.360,0:25:40.000
And that is what I have already mentioned&nbsp;
in this episode. We can easily keep emptying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:40.000,0:25:47.440
our mind continuously with every single extended&nbsp;
exhalation when all our chakras are open. From a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:47.440,0:25:54.800
vitalistic angle, it amounts to sending periodical&nbsp;
surges of kundalini from an open root chakra to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:54.800,0:26:02.880
an open crown chakra. From a materialistic angle,&nbsp;
it amounts to sending periodical surges of neural</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:02.880,0:26:08.960
communication from the gut to the brain.
Whatever it might be, but it does fill the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:08.960,0:26:16.720
crown of the head with inexplicable joy through&nbsp;
every single extended exhalation. Along with joy,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:16.720,0:26:22.560
it also embellishes the brain with&nbsp;
newer energy and newer insights.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:22.560,0:26:29.120
And every surge of this inexplicable joy keeps&nbsp;
the mind emptied for its duration, in fact a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:29.120,0:26:38.160
little longer. Before it starts waning, the next&nbsp;
surge appears with the next extended exhalation,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:38.160,0:26:41.722
reinforcing the mind’s emptiness again.
In case we ever miss the sequence, the sky</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:41.722,0:26:41.995
is not going to fall loose on earth. We can pick&nbsp;
the thread of breath up from wherever it right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:41.995,0:26:42.240
now is and restart the sequence once again.
That is what Skeletal Leap rewards us with!</p>

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.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 25th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW!</strong>” will tell you about an unintended evidence strengthening the skeletal chakra hypothesis via achieving central fixation of the eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I’ve mentioned earlier, the biological miracle that I have long been working with is the skeletal codes of instant central fixation of the eyes, the body and the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mainstream ophthalmology had always maintained that vision, once gone bad, could never be cured.</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 id="eye-training-for-crystal-clear-eye-vision-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap, I strengthen the fascinating connection between central fixation of the eyes and the skeletal chakra hypothesis.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Titled “Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW!”, the episode explores how achieving central fixation not only enhances vision but also transforms our physiological systems and personal well-being.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I share a personal story involving my cataract surgery and a groundbreaking realization about visual accommodation, challenging conventional ophthalmological beliefs.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I discuss the significance of the oblique and recti muscles in the eye's ability to focus and how their habitual constriction leads to common vision problems like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism as well as presbyopia after the age of 40.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover the historical context of Dr. W.H. Bates' work and how it paved the way for understanding the relationship between the mind, body, and vision.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I introduce the concept of central fixation through chakra meditation, revealing how this practice can lead to profound changes in both vision and overall health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me on this journey of self-discovery, as I uncover the tangible effects of opening chakras on our anatomy and physiology, and emphasize the importance of achieving a harmonious mind-body connection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Some key moments:</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(00:00:00) - Central fixation through the opening of chakras improves our vision and changes our physiological systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(00:10:25) - Dr. W.H. Bates challenged mainstream ophthalmology 100 years ago</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(00:16:01) - Modern ophthalmology is a gigantic multi billion dollar industry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(00:26:27) - Third eye and crown chakra meditation not only clarifies eyesight</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>You will learn about:</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The relationship between central fixation and vision improvement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How habitual muscle constriction affects eyesight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The historical significance of Dr. W.H. Bates’ findings.</p>

to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.160,0:00:38.480
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
an unintended evidence strengthening</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:38.480,0:00:44.800
the skeletal chakra hypothesis via&nbsp;
achieving central fixation of the eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:44.800,0:00:49.920
As I’ve mentioned earlier, the biological&nbsp;
miracle that I have long been working with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:49.920,0:00:56.480
is the skeletal codes of instant central&nbsp;
fixation of the eyes, the body and the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:57.120,0:01:04.240
Let me tell you another story, a recent&nbsp;
one that reinforces my above statement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:04.240,0:01:10.240
The Story of Activating A So-called&nbsp;
Impossible Visual Accommodation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:10.240,0:01:13.920
“I seem to have cracked its code.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:13.920,0:01:19.040
This was what I said to my ophthalmological&nbsp;
surgeon who was preparing to start a surgery</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:19.040,0:01:24.800
for my cataract removal. I got&nbsp;
my cataract removed in 2022.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:25.440,0:01:31.600
I said to my surgeon again as he had&nbsp;
not yet replied, “I think I have cracked</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:31.600,0:01:38.240
the code of central fixation of the eyes.”
It was a few seconds before lying down on the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:38.240,0:01:45.200
operation table that I spoke these words.
This time, he looked at me and replied,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:45.200,0:01:51.760
“Right now, I am not listening to you.”
He added, “I am in my pre-surgery trance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:51.760,0:01:57.040
We will discuss it&nbsp;once the&nbsp;
surgery is successfully completed.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:57.040,0:02:04.800
It was a Tuesday. A few days prior, I had met&nbsp;
him in his clinic. I had asked him to replace</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:04.800,0:02:11.520
my clouded natural crystalline lens with an&nbsp;
intraocular lens of the same diopter power.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:12.240,0:02:18.160
The normal procedure of cataract surgery simply&nbsp;
removes the clouded natural lenses in the eyes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:18.160,0:02:25.280
and replaces them with artificial clear lenses.&nbsp;
These natural lenses which get clouded owing to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:25.280,0:02:32.960
protein coagulation with age are called natural&nbsp;
crystalline lenses. The artificial clear lenses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:32.960,0:02:40.880
that replace them are called intraocular lenses.&nbsp;
It is a very simple, 10-minute surgical procedure</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:40.880,0:02:48.000
though it does demand impeccable precision from&nbsp;
the surgeon. And, as per modern ophthalmology,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:48.000,0:02:54.240
since these intraocular lenses cannot fatten like&nbsp;
natural crystalline lenses, they cannot help in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:54.240,0:03:01.200
reading at close proximity when they are optimized&nbsp;
for distant vision. Hence they require reading</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:01.200,0:03:08.800
glasses employing presbyopic convex lenses.
“Why?” he asked while replying to my request to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:08.800,0:03:16.000
replace my clouded natural crystalline lens with&nbsp;
an intraocular lens of the same diopter power,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:16.000,0:03:21.120
“Why wouldn’t we optimize it for&nbsp;
your distant vision, if so needed?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:21.120,0:03:26.160
“It’s because I am doing some experiments with&nbsp;
the errors of refraction in my eyes. I don’t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:26.160,0:03:32.160
want those to get disturbed at all. I believe&nbsp;
I have already cured my lifelong myopia with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:32.160,0:03:38.240
central fixation. But even if your optometric&nbsp;
machines find there are some traces left,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:38.240,0:03:44.320
I would prefer to be left with them. I just&nbsp;
don’t want my research to get disturbed by you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:44.320,0:03:52.240
optimizing my eyes for distant vision,” I said.
“But I find it unethical. We normally optimize</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:52.240,0:03:56.880
it for distant vision with intraocular&nbsp;
lenses. And then we provide you with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:56.880,0:04:04.240
outside lenses for near vision,” he retorted
“How does it become unethical? Especially</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:04.240,0:04:11.360
if I am ready to use outside lenses for&nbsp;
distant vision as well, if need be?” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:11.360,0:04:18.800
He looked at me with a puzzled expression as&nbsp;
no one else had ever asked this to him before.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:18.800,0:04:24.240
I added, “Moreover, you may optimize my distant&nbsp;
vision by changing the diopter power of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:24.240,0:04:30.800
intraocular lenses. But, then, I will no more&nbsp;
be able to read near as clearly as I do right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:30.800,0:04:38.560
now. I read at close proximity perfectly&nbsp;
well without using any presbyopic lenses.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:38.560,0:04:44.000
He immediately interrupted me, “Don’t be under the&nbsp;
impression that you will be able to do that with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:44.000,0:04:50.560
intraocular lenses. Right now, you are somehow&nbsp;
still doing it as you have natural crystalline</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:50.560,0:04:57.840
lenses in your eyes. But intraocular lenses are&nbsp;
just inanimate matter and not animate like your</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:57.840,0:05:04.960
natural crystalline lenses. They will simply not&nbsp;
let you see near clear as you cannot manipulate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:04.960,0:05:12.640
them at all. You will need a pair of near&nbsp;
vision glasses after the surgery in any case.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:12.640,0:05:18.240
“I will still like to use a pair of outside&nbsp;
glasses for correcting my distant vision. That is,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:18.240,0:05:24.640
in case I still have traces of myopia left&nbsp;
in my eyes. But I would never like my distant</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:24.640,0:05:30.160
vision to be optimized within my eyes. It will&nbsp;
disturb the research that I am doing through</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:30.160,0:05:37.040
experiments with central fixation to eradicate&nbsp;
all errors of refraction. And it’s not unethical</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:37.040,0:05:44.400
if I prefer outside lenses to inside ones.&nbsp;
Am I not right?” I asked him challenging his</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.400,0:05:50.560
notion of ophthalmological ethics.
My logic convinced him that what I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:50.560,0:05:55.840
was asking for was not unethical. I&nbsp;
just wanted my natural crystalline</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:55.840,0:06:02.720
lenses replaced with intraocular lenses of&nbsp;
exactly the same diopter power as before.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:03.280,0:06:08.720
He agreed. And I took a sigh of relief&nbsp;
as it was a question of my entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:08.720,0:06:15.360
research getting wasted otherwise.
All my preliminary tests including</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:15.360,0:06:21.360
ophthalmological and physiological status got&nbsp;
checked. A day before the surgery, the surgeon</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:21.360,0:06:27.600
informed me that everything was alright. He&nbsp;
said my natural crystalline lenses would be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:27.600,0:06:35.520
replaced with intraocular lenses of diopter&nbsp;
power +18.5. It was exactly the same diopter</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:35.520,0:06:45.200
power that my natural crystalline lenses had.
On Tuesday, 15 February 2022, my right eye got</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:45.200,0:06:51.200
operated on. As soon as the surgery got&nbsp;
completed, the surgeon asked me to open</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:51.200,0:06:58.800
my eyes. As I complied, I immediately saw&nbsp;
everything much brighter as well as crystal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:58.800,0:07:05.200
clear in the field of my vision. It had gotten&nbsp;
brighter owing to the surgery done on my eye.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:05.200,0:07:11.040
And as far as clarity of vision was concerned,&nbsp;
replacing my natural crystalline lens with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:11.040,0:07:17.600
the intraocular lens of the same diopter&nbsp;
power had left no negative effect on it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:18.320,0:07:23.280
It was a moment of extreme elation&nbsp;
for me. Not optimizing my vision</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:23.280,0:07:33.680
for distance had shown its favorable result.
The next day, on Wednesday, 16 February 2022,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:33.680,0:07:41.280
my left eye got operated with similar results.
As soon as both my eyes got intraocular lenses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:41.280,0:07:46.960
inserted in them, I went impatient. I&nbsp;
could not stop my temptation of trying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:46.960,0:07:54.000
to read near with them. And lo! To the utter&nbsp;
astonishment of my surgeon as well as of mine,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:54.000,0:08:04.400
I was able to read everything close clearly too.
The next day, on Thursday, 17 February 2022,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:04.400,0:08:10.240
my vision was officially tested&nbsp;
for distance and for near reading.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:10.240,0:08:14.880
Each eye was individually tested&nbsp;
separately. Both of them recorded</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:15.440,0:08:23.440
20/20 vision for distance and N6 for near reading.
I asked my surgeon how he would explain this in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:23.440,0:08:30.160
light of the accommodation process theorized by&nbsp;
German ophthalmology. According to this theory,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:30.160,0:08:37.120
it should have been impossible for me&nbsp;
to read near, especially with N6 acuity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:37.120,0:08:42.400
He simply raised his hands in utter&nbsp;
astonishment, saying, “I just don’t know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:42.400,0:08:49.760
how you are reading near so clear.”
It was a miracle, so to say.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:49.760,0:08:55.360
I asked him if I was his first patient not&nbsp;
requiring near vision glasses from him after</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:55.360,0:09:04.800
cataract removal surgery. He said I was, indeed,&nbsp;
the only one to do so through his entire career.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.800,0:09:09.520
The Real Scientific Process&nbsp;
of Visual Accommodation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:09.520,0:09:18.560
The question was how on earth I was able to see&nbsp;
near so clear with inanimate lenses in my eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:18.560,0:09:23.520
There was only one way in which it&nbsp;
could be explained scientifically.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:24.160,0:09:31.440
It was that I was able to elongate my eyeball in&nbsp;
order to see clear while reading near. And then,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:31.440,0:09:37.600
I was able to turn it back to near&nbsp;
spherical while seeing at a distance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:37.600,0:09:42.800
According to this explanation, the lens&nbsp;
has no role to play in the process of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:42.800,0:09:49.680
accommodation. It is the eyeball that&nbsp;
effects and controls accommodation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.680,0:09:52.880
It was about a hundred years ago that Dr.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:52.880,0:09:59.040
W. H. Bates had propounded the&nbsp;
same. Here is a quote from him:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:59.040,0:10:05.360
During more than thirty years of clinical&nbsp;
experience, I have not observed a single fact that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:05.360,0:10:11.040
was not in harmony with the belief that the lens&nbsp;
and the ciliary muscle have nothing to do with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:11.040,0:10:17.680
accommodation and that the changes in the shape&nbsp;
of the eyeball upon which errors of refraction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:17.680,0:10:24.560
depend are not permanent. My clinical observations&nbsp;
have of themselves been sufficient to demonstrate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:24.560,0:10:31.680
this fact. They have also been sufficient to show&nbsp;
how errors of refraction can be produced at will,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:31.680,0:10:39.120
and how they may be cured, temporarily in a few&nbsp;
minutes, and permanently by continued treatment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:39.120,0:10:46.320</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Courtesy: W. H. BATES, M.D. (1920)</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:46.320,0:10:52.480
Eyes are constructed of eyeballs having two&nbsp;
sets of six muscles on each one of them. Two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:52.480,0:10:58.000
of them are ‘oblique’ muscles and the other&nbsp;
four are ‘recti’. The two oblique muscles</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:58.000,0:11:03.600
are there in the shape of a belt around the&nbsp;
middle of the eyeball. The muscle above is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:03.600,0:11:11.360
called ‘superior’ and the one below, ‘inferior’.
The four recti muscles pass along the depth of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:11.360,0:11:19.840
eyeball at the top, bottom, left and right sides.&nbsp;
They are attached to the sclerotic coat at one end</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:19.840,0:11:26.160
and the bone surrounding the optic nerve at the&nbsp;
other. These four muscles at the top, bottom, left</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:26.160,0:11:34.800
and right sides of the eyeball are ‘superior’,&nbsp;
‘inferior’, ‘internal’ and “external” recti.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:34.800,0:11:40.400
When we contract the oblique muscles,&nbsp;
the eyes can easily read near.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:40.400,0:11:44.480
But when this constriction becomes&nbsp;
unconsciously habitual, the eyes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:44.480,0:11:51.200
cannot see clear at a distance. This condition&nbsp;
is called myopia and is generally combined with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:51.200,0:11:58.240
astigmatism which means different levels of&nbsp;
constriction in various circular degrees.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:58.240,0:12:02.240
Also, when recti muscles are&nbsp;
kept constricted habitually,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.240,0:12:09.840
the eyes are not able to read at close proximity&nbsp;
clearly. Letters go blurred as in hyperopia and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:09.840,0:12:17.360
presbyopia, and distorted as in astigmatism.
When the crown chakra and the third eye chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:17.360,0:12:24.240
are blocked, these are the muscles that get&nbsp;
affected first. Thereafter, the rest of them,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:24.240,0:12:32.320
including those in the jaws, on the eyebrows,&nbsp;
and around temporomandibular joints get affected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:32.320,0:12:37.920
Surprisingly, there is a direct physiological&nbsp;
connection between the muscles on the eyeballs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:37.920,0:12:45.600
and the rest of muscles in the skull! The major&nbsp;
ones among them are the muscles named frontalis,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:45.600,0:12:52.560
temporalis and occipitalis. By relaxing these&nbsp;
three muscles via maneuvering the mandible,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:52.560,0:13:00.480
we can relax the muscles on the eyeballs as well.
Once that is done, we can achieve full voluntary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:00.480,0:13:07.200
control on the entire process of accommodation.&nbsp;
This is how we can achieve central fixation of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:07.200,0:13:16.560
eyes and get rid of all the errors of refraction.
The Role That Dr. Bates Played A Hundred Years Ago</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:16.560,0:13:24.480
Around a hundred years ago in the year 1920, Dr.&nbsp;
W. H. Bates, an ophthalmologist published a book.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:24.480,0:13:31.440
It was titled “The Cure of Imperfect Sight&nbsp;
by Treatment without Glasses”. The book was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:31.440,0:13:38.240
an account of his case studies which involved&nbsp;
curing the vision of people and enabling them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:38.240,0:13:44.480
to get rid of their glasses. It was also a&nbsp;
logical analysis of how vision goes bad in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:44.480,0:13:51.520
the first place and how to cure it. With his&nbsp;
analysis, he happened to challenge mainstream</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:51.520,0:13:58.800
ophthalmology on its theoretical premises.
Mainstream ophthalmology had always maintained</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:58.800,0:14:05.440
that vision, once gone bad, could never be&nbsp;
cured. It still maintains the same premise</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:05.440,0:14:12.640
to date. Hence it considers wearing glasses as&nbsp;
the primary solution. It has also come up with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:12.640,0:14:21.280
its surgical derivative named LASIK. In LASIK,&nbsp;
they sculpt the cornea in the shape of a lens as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:21.280,0:14:27.760
per the vision prescription. It simply turns the&nbsp;
cornea into an additional lens in front of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:27.760,0:14:35.920
eye’s main lens without wearing glasses. Not a big&nbsp;
deal! It is rather ineffective in certain cases,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:35.920,0:14:41.600
especially in the long run. I know many&nbsp;
such people whose errors of refraction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:41.600,0:14:49.120
returned a few years after getting LASIK done.
But mainstream ophthalmology chose not to respond</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:49.120,0:14:57.760
to Dr. Bates’ challenge. It rather chose to ignore&nbsp;
him in an attempt to isolate and ridicule him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:57.760,0:15:04.640
The question that arises is why, after all,&nbsp;
mainstream ophthalmology chose to ignore its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:04.640,0:15:11.920
own comrade. Was it just because it thought he&nbsp;
was doing something nonsensical? Far from it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:11.920,0:15:19.680
his questions were not illogical. Quite to the&nbsp;
contrary, he was getting positive results! Why,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:19.680,0:15:24.880
then, did his own parent organization&nbsp;
ignore him like a step child?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:24.880,0:15:32.160
The answer, as often is the case, was a&nbsp;
conflict of interests between the two.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:32.160,0:15:37.920
And mainstream ophthalmology continues that&nbsp;
same antagonistic approach toward his research</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:37.920,0:15:45.600
and findings at the time of delivering&nbsp;
this podcast…even almost a century later!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:45.600,0:15:50.400
What would mainstream ophthalmology&nbsp;
gain from this antagonism?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:50.400,0:15:57.600
The answer seems to lie in a covert conspiracy as&nbsp;
such. It is possibly scared of losing a luxurious</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:57.600,0:16:04.080
business that it is the sole beneficiary&nbsp;
of. Modern ophthalmology is a gigantic,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:04.080,0:16:10.560
multi-billion-dollar industry.
Here are two quotes to underline it:</p>

Perhaps, none of this industry’s gatekeepers want&nbsp;
to kill the proverbial golden-egg-laying duck?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:06.560,0:17:11.920
Dr. W. H. Bates ignored his isolation&nbsp;
by mainstream ophthalmology. He went</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:11.920,0:17:17.600
on treating his patients. And, by the&nbsp;
time he died in 1931, he had already</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.600,0:17:25.040
cured thousands of them. They had gotten rid of&nbsp;
their glasses as they didn’t need them anymore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:25.040,0:17:31.600
After his death, many volunteers took up&nbsp;
his work and continued treating patients.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:31.600,0:17:38.720
It has now become an institution in itself that&nbsp;
promotes alternative ophthalmology, defying the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:38.720,0:17:45.920
mainstream authority. These volunteers have kept&nbsp;
Bates’ legacy alive through almost a century after</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:45.920,0:17:55.280
his death. The Bates Method, as it is famous&nbsp;
now, has sculpted a strong niche for itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:55.280,0:18:02.080
But there is a problem here. The Bates Method,&nbsp;
in general, is very slow in improving vision.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:02.080,0:18:06.960
Very few people afflicted with errors of&nbsp;
refraction in their faulty eyes have that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:06.960,0:18:14.400
kind of patience. They find wearing glasses&nbsp;
a ready-made solution and surrender to it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:14.400,0:18:20.160
They don’t know that, by wearing glasses, they&nbsp;
are forcing their eyes to keep seeing through them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:20.160,0:18:26.640
for life. An eye must keep seeing inherently&nbsp;
wrong in order to see clear from behind the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:26.640,0:18:34.560
lens fitted on it. Therefore, they kill any&nbsp;
probability of vision improvement for good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:34.560,0:18:41.440
How I Was Able to Change Bates Method of Central&nbsp;
Fixation from A Mental Procedure to A Physical One</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:41.440,0:18:48.560
As far back as my early childhood, I was diagnosed&nbsp;
with myopia. My left eye required a lens of minus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:48.560,0:18:56.000
5 diopter to see clear. Luckily, my right&nbsp;
eye was 20/20. So my optometrist gave me a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:56.000,0:19:01.760
pair of glasses which I never liked wearing.&nbsp;
I could see things with my right eye without</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:01.760,0:19:08.800
any problem. Hence I put my glasses in the&nbsp;
drawer of my table and never took them out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:08.800,0:19:16.160
A few years passed. I finished my engineering&nbsp;
studies and got appointed to a government job.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:16.160,0:19:19.120
I was instructed to get my&nbsp;
physical examination done</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:19.120,0:19:24.240
in a specified government hospital&nbsp;
before I would begin on the job. So,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:24.240,0:19:31.520
I went for it, aware of the fact that one&nbsp;
of my eyes needed a minus 5 diopter lens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:31.520,0:19:37.360
But I was in for both a pleasant and&nbsp;
an unpleasant shock at the same time!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:37.360,0:19:44.800
The doctor told me that both my eyes had&nbsp;
myopia requiring minus 2.25 diopter lenses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:45.600,0:19:54.000
The world went upside down as well as downside up&nbsp;
for me. My normal 20/20 vision in my right eye had</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:54.000,0:20:01.600
deteriorated to require minus 2.25 diopter&nbsp;
lens to see clear. But my faulty eye had</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:01.600,0:20:11.280
spontaneously improved itself from requiring minus&nbsp;
5 diopter lens to just minus 2.25 diopter now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:11.280,0:20:17.040
How did my eyes manage to do so on their own&nbsp;
without my conscious awareness of it? It was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:17.040,0:20:21.760
against the very basic premise upon&nbsp;
which all of mainstream ophthalmology</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:21.760,0:20:27.120
had structured its existence.
According to Jessica Lewis,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:27.120,0:20:34.560
optometrist from Illinois College of Optometry:
Not wearing glasses, also, cannot change the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:34.560,0:20:40.480
shape of your eye, so if you stop wearing&nbsp;
glasses, you will not make it so that you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:40.480,0:20:47.200
don‘t need glasses and you will not make&nbsp;
it so that your vision returns to normal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:47.200,0:20:53.200
How can, then, mainstream ophthalmology explain&nbsp;
the reversal of my eyesight from minus 5 diopter</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:53.200,0:20:59.280
to minus 2.25 diopter?
It can’t.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:59.280,0:21:05.440
Anyway, I lived up to the age of 53 with both&nbsp;
of my eyes requiring correction by minus 2.25</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:06.160,0:21:13.440
diopter lenses. That&nbsp;was before I accidentally&nbsp;
stumbled upon a spontaneous and instantaneous</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:13.440,0:21:20.960
clarity of vision one day. Later, I researched&nbsp;
the phenomenon to understand it in depth and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:20.960,0:21:27.840
how to achieve it at will and sustainably.
Earlier, I had mentioned that the Bates Method</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:27.840,0:21:32.960
was slow to provide even the first&nbsp;
flashes of clear vision. At times,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:32.960,0:21:39.840
it was instantaneous but, in general, it&nbsp;
took a long time to do so. I was looking</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:39.840,0:21:46.160
for something in the procedure that would make&nbsp;
it instantaneous as well as measurable. Here,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:46.160,0:21:53.680
by instantaneous, I mean a single session of&nbsp;
a few hours. Even if it is not full clarity,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:53.680,0:22:01.360
the amount of clarity gained should be measurable.&nbsp;
Measurability would enable such a&nbsp;procedure to get</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:01.360,0:22:08.720
verified under the test conditions that mainstream&nbsp;
ophthalmology would, no doubt, insist on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:08.720,0:22:13.600
And this is what the Bates Method,&nbsp;
despite being a brilliant procedure,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:13.600,0:22:20.160
is lacking. It can’t generate measurable&nbsp;
improvements in a single session. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:20.160,0:22:26.880
it could never decisively pass the challenge of&nbsp;
strict scrutiny done under laboratory conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.320,0:22:34.560
It was because Bates had positioned his method&nbsp;
around relaxation of the mind in order to relax</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:34.560,0:22:41.920
the eyes. In relaxing the mind and the eyes, his&nbsp;
basic purpose was to attain the central fixation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:41.920,0:22:49.040
of the mind. The central fixation of the mind&nbsp;
led to the central fixation of the eyes. It meant</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:49.040,0:22:56.240
focusing at a single point in the field of vision&nbsp;
so that it made its image exactly at the fovea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:57.360,0:23:02.240
Bates contended that central fixation&nbsp;
of the eyes was not achievable without</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:02.240,0:23:09.280
achieving central fixation of the mind.
As I have mentioned earlier, the mind is a very</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:09.280,0:23:17.200
vague entity. It has processes inside it that are&nbsp;
intangible, meaning you can’t measure them. And,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:17.200,0:23:24.560
if you can’t measure a thing, you can’t be sure&nbsp;
of its objective existence, nor of its strength.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:24.560,0:23:31.600
You cannot say with 100% surety that you are going&nbsp;
the right way. You can’t even be sure of how much</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:31.600,0:23:39.840
of it you need to achieve the desired results.
At times they may click but rarely so. So, you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:39.840,0:23:47.120
need to keep making trials and errors until you&nbsp;
can hit the target. It takes time, and at times,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:47.120,0:23:56.800
a lot of it. Not to mention, you can’t even create&nbsp;
them instantly and at will with 100% surety.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:56.800,0:24:03.680
This is what makes the Bates Method unreliable.
But, if we approach this from the perspective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:03.680,0:24:11.120
of physical effects, it all becomes solid and&nbsp;
tangible. And they are not always the effects. At</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:11.120,0:24:18.560
times, they may be the cause to begin with. We can&nbsp;
pinpoint them. We can even measure them. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:18.560,0:24:27.120
we are more in control of them. That is why we&nbsp;
can activate them instantly and to their fullest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:27.120,0:24:32.080
This was what I did with the Bates Method&nbsp;
when it came to achieving central fixation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:32.080,0:24:39.040
of the eyes. I just changed its direction.&nbsp;
Bates had directed it from central fixation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:39.040,0:24:44.560
of the mind to the central fixation of the&nbsp;
eyes. I changed it from central fixation of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:44.560,0:24:51.600
the eyes to the central fixation of the mind.
I did a lot of research on how chakras affected</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:51.600,0:24:58.880
the anatomy and the physiology of our body. As you&nbsp;
might know already, the description&nbsp;and approach</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:58.880,0:25:06.000
to chakras in ancient scriptures is deeply&nbsp;
embedded in the spiritual arena. Their shallow,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:06.000,0:25:13.680
modern-day interpretations follow suit without&nbsp;
even understanding what spirituality really means.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:13.680,0:25:19.600
With their mysterious-sounding descriptions,&nbsp;
these misplaced interpretations have tended</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:19.600,0:25:26.400
to turn chakras into an esoteric discipline.
I aimed at understanding the physical effect of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:26.400,0:25:34.560
chakras at different parts of our body, i.e.,&nbsp;
on its nerves and musculature. Spirituality,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:34.560,0:25:42.880
like the mind, is not a concrete entity; it is&nbsp;
rather even vaguer than the mind. It is esoteric.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:44.080,0:25:50.240
Central Fixation Is Instantly Achievable&nbsp;
through Skeletal Chakra Meditation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:50.240,0:25:57.040
Consequently, what I did with chakras was&nbsp;
exactly what I had done with the mind. I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:57.040,0:26:02.560
addressed the issues associated with chakras&nbsp;
from the perspective of their effects on the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:02.560,0:26:08.560
body. For all we know, these so-called&nbsp;
effects might actually be the culprits</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:08.560,0:26:16.240
causing those issues in the first place!
Since body and spirit, like body and mind,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:16.240,0:26:22.080
are two sides of the same coin, the&nbsp;
former affects the latter as well. It</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:22.080,0:26:29.280
is exactly the way in which the latter had&nbsp;
affected the former before, if at all so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:29.280,0:26:35.760
This approach enabled me to discover that central&nbsp;
fixation of the eyes was exactly what third eye</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:35.760,0:26:41.360
and crown chakra meditation achieved.
Opening the third eye and the crown</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:41.360,0:26:48.640
chakras meant achieving central fixation of the&nbsp;
eyes along with central fixation of the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:48.640,0:26:56.560
I could now pinpoint it and activate it instantly&nbsp;
to its fullest by measuring it properly. And</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:56.560,0:27:03.840
the best thing was I could do it at will!
Of course, it does require some time to open</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:03.840,0:27:09.280
the third eye and the crown chakras through&nbsp;
third eye and crown chakra meditation. It is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:09.280,0:27:16.320
because the muscles in its vicinity need time to&nbsp;
loosen up their age-old rigidity. Once they have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:16.320,0:27:23.760
done that, the eyes start seeing perfectly&nbsp;
without any artificial aid worn upon them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:23.760,0:27:30.320
Achieving central fixation through opening all&nbsp;
7 chakras is not only about vision correction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:30.320,0:27:36.480
Vision correction is merely an indication that we&nbsp;
are on the right track in our journey toward Homo</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:36.480,0:27:44.400
sapiens evolution as a whole. It leads us to a&nbsp;
perfect state of biological, mental and spiritual</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:44.400,0:27:52.240
health, replete with the flow of cosmic (or&nbsp;
biological) energy through us. It enables us to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:52.240,0:27:59.920
in peace with ourselves individually, paving the&nbsp;
way toward creating a peaceful world around us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:59.920,0:28:07.440
It fills us with intelligent insights to mend&nbsp;
our deteriorating sociocultural institutions and,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:07.440,0:28:16.160
then, to create a colorful world around us.&nbsp;
In short, it paves the way to heaven on earth!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:16.160,0:28:21.920
My central fixation boosted my immunity to&nbsp;
an extent that enabled me to live together</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:21.920,0:28:28.800
with my Covid-19-infected family without&nbsp;
ever contracting the virus myself. Though</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:28.800,0:28:36.240
unvaccinated, my innate immunity saved me from&nbsp;
catching it even from such close vicinity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:36.240,0:28:41.920
Third eye and crown chakra meditation,&nbsp;
or central fixation, not only clarifies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:41.920,0:28:49.520
eyesight but also benefits the body, the mind&nbsp;
and the spirit in the following additional ways:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:49.520,0:28:58.520
Immunity Boost | Headache Eradication | Depression&nbsp;
Alleviation | Anxiety Eradication | Enhanced Focus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:58.520,0:29:07.360
| Deeper &amp; Slower Breathing | Improved Circulation&nbsp;
| Stronger Heart | Faster Assimilation | Improved</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:07.360,0:29:15.120
Digestion | Smoother Excretion | Hormonal&nbsp;
Balance | Autoimmune Diseases Eradication</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:15.840,0:29:22.960
I would even venture to say that third eye and&nbsp;
crown chakra meditation or central fixation is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:22.960,0:29:29.680
not, as Aldous Huxley would say, ‘The Art&nbsp;
of Seeing’ alone. It is actually ‘The Art</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:29.680,0:29:37.920
of Healing’ the body, the mind and the spirit.
Whenever the mind is not in a meditative state,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:37.920,0:29:43.040
it does something detrimental&nbsp;
to the body. As a result,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:43.040,0:29:50.400
the body constricts some specific muscles that&nbsp;
are meant to be relaxed and loosens some others</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:50.400,0:29:57.280
that are meant to be kept contracted. With&nbsp;
the continuation of such a mental state,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:57.280,0:30:04.480
the body keeps those muscles constricted or&nbsp;
loosened for long. With the passage of time,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:04.480,0:30:11.040
these muscles habituate themselves in those&nbsp;
same erroneously constricted or loosened states.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:12.400,0:30:20.240
And, with the further passage of time, the said&nbsp;
constriction or loosening turns unconscious. The</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:20.240,0:30:27.680
affected muscles lose their range of flexibility.&nbsp;
They start giving a message to the mind that they</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:27.680,0:30:35.120
are not making any effort. And the fact is that&nbsp;
they really start perceiving their constricted or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:35.120,0:30:42.080
loosened disposition as relaxation. They don’t&nbsp;
even realize that this is a serious reduction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:42.080,0:30:50.320
in their own innate range of flexibility. They&nbsp;
start assuming as if the range was always limited.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:50.320,0:30:56.400
We can decide to bring the affected muscles&nbsp;
back to their relaxed state, but they resist</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:56.400,0:31:03.520
doing so. So, we need to pull them out of this&nbsp;
unconscious habitual constriction or loosening</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:03.520,0:31:11.120
by stretching or contracting them out and up. The&nbsp;
constricted or loosened muscles perceive it as an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:11.120,0:31:19.920
effort and hence feel pseudo-tired in the process.
However, if we show perseverance and continue to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:19.920,0:31:25.440
stretch or contract the affected muscles&nbsp;
out of their constriction or loosening,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:25.440,0:31:32.720
they listen. And they listen because their&nbsp;
unconscious memory - what is often referred to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:32.720,0:31:40.240
as “muscle memory” - gives them a feeling of doing&nbsp;
something right. With the passage of time, they</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:40.240,0:31:48.160
start regaining their lost flexibility and range.
Muscles do take their time to get rid of their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:48.160,0:31:53.680
constricted rigidity or loosened&nbsp;
lethargy. Once they have done it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:53.680,0:32:01.120
the entire body-mind system comes back to its&nbsp;
natural, spontaneous state. With that, the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:01.120,0:32:08.800
purpose of said meditation is achieved. Thereon,&nbsp;
we only need to ensure that we don’t repeat the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:08.800,0:32:15.440
old habits in the body or the mind again.
So, which muscles go rigid and which ones go</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:15.440,0:32:21.200
lethargic when vision gets compromised,&nbsp;
be it for distance or near reading?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:22.000,0:32:27.680
These are the muscles in the vicinity of the&nbsp;
third eye and the crown chakras. In fact,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:27.680,0:32:34.400
the crown chakra is a widening of&nbsp;
a narrow third eye chakra by 270o.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:34.400,0:32:39.280
Central fixation, through the opening of&nbsp;
chakras, not only improves our vision and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:39.280,0:32:44.560
changes our physiological systems,&nbsp;
it also changes us as a person.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:45.200,0:32:51.360
At that point, we will already have taken&nbsp;
an important step toward Skeletal Leap into</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:51.360,0:32:57.840
the next major Homo sapiens evolution.&nbsp;
What is left is to activate the rising</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:57.840,0:33:05.760
of energy from the gut to the brain. And&nbsp;
this is where we enter the realm of breath.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 25th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW!</strong>” will tell you about an unintended evidence strengthening the skeletal chakra hypothesis via achieving central fixation of the eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I’ve mentioned earlier, the biological miracle that I have long been working with is the skeletal codes of instant central fixation of the eyes, the body and the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mainstream ophthalmology had always maintained that vision, once gone bad, could never be cured.</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 id="eye-training-for-crystal-clear-eye-vision-show-notes" class="wp-block-heading">Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap, I strengthen the fascinating connection between central fixation of the eyes and the skeletal chakra hypothesis.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Titled “Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW!”, the episode explores how achieving central fixation not only enhances vision but also transforms our physiological systems and personal well-being.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I share a personal story involving my cataract surgery and a groundbreaking realization about visual accommodation, challenging conventional ophthalmological beliefs.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I discuss the significance of the oblique and recti muscles in the eye's ability to focus and how their habitual constriction leads to common vision problems like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism as well as presbyopia after the age of 40.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover the historical context of Dr. W.H. Bates' work and how it paved the way for understanding the relationship between the mind, body, and vision.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I introduce the concept of central fixation through chakra meditation, revealing how this practice can lead to profound changes in both vision and overall health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me on this journey of self-discovery, as I uncover the tangible effects of opening chakras on our anatomy and physiology, and emphasize the importance of achieving a harmonious mind-body connection.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Some key moments:</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(00:00:00) - Central fixation through the opening of chakras improves our vision and changes our physiological systems</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(00:10:25) - Dr. W.H. Bates challenged mainstream ophthalmology 100 years ago</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(00:16:01) - Modern ophthalmology is a gigantic multi billion dollar industry</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(00:26:27) - Third eye and crown chakra meditation not only clarifies eyesight</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>You will learn about:</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The relationship between central fixation and vision improvement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How habitual muscle constriction affects eyesight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The historical significance of Dr. W.H. Bates’ findings.</p>

Central fixation, through the opening of chakras,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:03.920,0:00:08.400
not only improves our vision and&nbsp;
changes our physiological systems,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:08.400,0:00:24.800
it also changes us as a person.
My name is Laadi Ojas. Welcome</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:24.800,0:00:34.160
to “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure”. Skeletal&nbsp;
Leap transforms one’s life into a personal heaven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:34.160,0:00:38.480
Today’s episode will tell you about&nbsp;
an unintended evidence strengthening</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:38.480,0:00:44.800
the skeletal chakra hypothesis via&nbsp;
achieving central fixation of the eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:44.800,0:00:49.920
As I’ve mentioned earlier, the biological&nbsp;
miracle that I have long been working with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:49.920,0:00:56.480
is the skeletal codes of instant central&nbsp;
fixation of the eyes, the body and the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:00:57.120,0:01:04.240
Let me tell you another story, a recent&nbsp;
one that reinforces my above statement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:04.240,0:01:10.240
The Story of Activating A So-called&nbsp;
Impossible Visual Accommodation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:10.240,0:01:13.920
“I seem to have cracked its code.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:13.920,0:01:19.040
This was what I said to my ophthalmological&nbsp;
surgeon who was preparing to start a surgery</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:19.040,0:01:24.800
for my cataract removal. I got&nbsp;
my cataract removed in 2022.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:25.440,0:01:31.600
I said to my surgeon again as he had&nbsp;
not yet replied, “I think I have cracked</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:31.600,0:01:38.240
the code of central fixation of the eyes.”
It was a few seconds before lying down on the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:38.240,0:01:45.200
operation table that I spoke these words.
This time, he looked at me and replied,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:45.200,0:01:51.760
“Right now, I am not listening to you.”
He added, “I am in my pre-surgery trance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:51.760,0:01:57.040
We will discuss it&nbsp;once the&nbsp;
surgery is successfully completed.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:01:57.040,0:02:04.800
It was a Tuesday. A few days prior, I had met&nbsp;
him in his clinic. I had asked him to replace</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:04.800,0:02:11.520
my clouded natural crystalline lens with an&nbsp;
intraocular lens of the same diopter power.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:12.240,0:02:18.160
The normal procedure of cataract surgery simply&nbsp;
removes the clouded natural lenses in the eyes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:18.160,0:02:25.280
and replaces them with artificial clear lenses.&nbsp;
These natural lenses which get clouded owing to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:25.280,0:02:32.960
protein coagulation with age are called natural&nbsp;
crystalline lenses. The artificial clear lenses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:32.960,0:02:40.880
that replace them are called intraocular lenses.&nbsp;
It is a very simple, 10-minute surgical procedure</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:40.880,0:02:48.000
though it does demand impeccable precision from&nbsp;
the surgeon. And, as per modern ophthalmology,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:48.000,0:02:54.240
since these intraocular lenses cannot fatten like&nbsp;
natural crystalline lenses, they cannot help in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:02:54.240,0:03:01.200
reading at close proximity when they are optimized&nbsp;
for distant vision. Hence they require reading</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:01.200,0:03:08.800
glasses employing presbyopic convex lenses.
“Why?” he asked while replying to my request to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:08.800,0:03:16.000
replace my clouded natural crystalline lens with&nbsp;
an intraocular lens of the same diopter power,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:16.000,0:03:21.120
“Why wouldn’t we optimize it for&nbsp;
your distant vision, if so needed?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:21.120,0:03:26.160
“It’s because I am doing some experiments with&nbsp;
the errors of refraction in my eyes. I don’t</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:26.160,0:03:32.160
want those to get disturbed at all. I believe&nbsp;
I have already cured my lifelong myopia with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:32.160,0:03:38.240
central fixation. But even if your optometric&nbsp;
machines find there are some traces left,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:38.240,0:03:44.320
I would prefer to be left with them. I just&nbsp;
don’t want my research to get disturbed by you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:44.320,0:03:52.240
optimizing my eyes for distant vision,” I said.
“But I find it unethical. We normally optimize</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:52.240,0:03:56.880
it for distant vision with intraocular&nbsp;
lenses. And then we provide you with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:03:56.880,0:04:04.240
outside lenses for near vision,” he retorted
“How does it become unethical? Especially</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:04.240,0:04:11.360
if I am ready to use outside lenses for&nbsp;
distant vision as well, if need be?” I said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:11.360,0:04:18.800
He looked at me with a puzzled expression as&nbsp;
no one else had ever asked this to him before.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:18.800,0:04:24.240
I added, “Moreover, you may optimize my distant&nbsp;
vision by changing the diopter power of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:24.240,0:04:30.800
intraocular lenses. But, then, I will no more&nbsp;
be able to read near as clearly as I do right</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:30.800,0:04:38.560
now. I read at close proximity perfectly&nbsp;
well without using any presbyopic lenses.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:38.560,0:04:44.000
He immediately interrupted me, “Don’t be under the&nbsp;
impression that you will be able to do that with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:44.000,0:04:50.560
intraocular lenses. Right now, you are somehow&nbsp;
still doing it as you have natural crystalline</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:50.560,0:04:57.840
lenses in your eyes. But intraocular lenses are&nbsp;
just inanimate matter and not animate like your</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:04:57.840,0:05:04.960
natural crystalline lenses. They will simply not&nbsp;
let you see near clear as you cannot manipulate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:04.960,0:05:12.640
them at all. You will need a pair of near&nbsp;
vision glasses after the surgery in any case.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:12.640,0:05:18.240
“I will still like to use a pair of outside&nbsp;
glasses for correcting my distant vision. That is,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:18.240,0:05:24.640
in case I still have traces of myopia left&nbsp;
in my eyes. But I would never like my distant</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:24.640,0:05:30.160
vision to be optimized within my eyes. It will&nbsp;
disturb the research that I am doing through</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:30.160,0:05:37.040
experiments with central fixation to eradicate&nbsp;
all errors of refraction. And it’s not unethical</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:37.040,0:05:44.400
if I prefer outside lenses to inside ones.&nbsp;
Am I not right?” I asked him challenging his</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:44.400,0:05:50.560
notion of ophthalmological ethics.
My logic convinced him that what I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:50.560,0:05:55.840
was asking for was not unethical. I&nbsp;
just wanted my natural crystalline</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:05:55.840,0:06:02.720
lenses replaced with intraocular lenses of&nbsp;
exactly the same diopter power as before.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:03.280,0:06:08.720
He agreed. And I took a sigh of relief&nbsp;
as it was a question of my entire</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:08.720,0:06:15.360
research getting wasted otherwise.
All my preliminary tests including</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:15.360,0:06:21.360
ophthalmological and physiological status got&nbsp;
checked. A day before the surgery, the surgeon</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:21.360,0:06:27.600
informed me that everything was alright. He&nbsp;
said my natural crystalline lenses would be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:27.600,0:06:35.520
replaced with intraocular lenses of diopter&nbsp;
power +18.5. It was exactly the same diopter</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:35.520,0:06:45.200
power that my natural crystalline lenses had.
On Tuesday, 15 February 2022, my right eye got</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:45.200,0:06:51.200
operated on. As soon as the surgery got&nbsp;
completed, the surgeon asked me to open</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:51.200,0:06:58.800
my eyes. As I complied, I immediately saw&nbsp;
everything much brighter as well as crystal</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:06:58.800,0:07:05.200
clear in the field of my vision. It had gotten&nbsp;
brighter owing to the surgery done on my eye.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:05.200,0:07:11.040
And as far as clarity of vision was concerned,&nbsp;
replacing my natural crystalline lens with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:11.040,0:07:17.600
the intraocular lens of the same diopter&nbsp;
power had left no negative effect on it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:18.320,0:07:23.280
It was a moment of extreme elation&nbsp;
for me. Not optimizing my vision</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:23.280,0:07:33.680
for distance had shown its favorable result.
The next day, on Wednesday, 16 February 2022,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:33.680,0:07:41.280
my left eye got operated with similar results.
As soon as both my eyes got intraocular lenses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:41.280,0:07:46.960
inserted in them, I went impatient. I&nbsp;
could not stop my temptation of trying</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:46.960,0:07:54.000
to read near with them. And lo! To the utter&nbsp;
astonishment of my surgeon as well as of mine,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:07:54.000,0:08:04.400
I was able to read everything close clearly too.
The next day, on Thursday, 17 February 2022,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:04.400,0:08:10.240
my vision was officially tested&nbsp;
for distance and for near reading.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:10.240,0:08:14.880
Each eye was individually tested&nbsp;
separately. Both of them recorded</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:15.440,0:08:23.440
20/20 vision for distance and N6 for near reading.
I asked my surgeon how he would explain this in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:23.440,0:08:30.160
light of the accommodation process theorized by&nbsp;
German ophthalmology. According to this theory,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:30.160,0:08:37.120
it should have been impossible for me&nbsp;
to read near, especially with N6 acuity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:37.120,0:08:42.400
He simply raised his hands in utter&nbsp;
astonishment, saying, “I just don’t know</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:42.400,0:08:49.760
how you are reading near so clear.”
It was a miracle, so to say.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:49.760,0:08:55.360
I asked him if I was his first patient not&nbsp;
requiring near vision glasses from him after</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:08:55.360,0:09:04.800
cataract removal surgery. He said I was, indeed,&nbsp;
the only one to do so through his entire career.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:04.800,0:09:09.520
The Real Scientific Process&nbsp;
of Visual Accommodation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:09.520,0:09:18.560
The question was how on earth I was able to see&nbsp;
near so clear with inanimate lenses in my eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:18.560,0:09:23.520
There was only one way in which it&nbsp;
could be explained scientifically.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:24.160,0:09:31.440
It was that I was able to elongate my eyeball in&nbsp;
order to see clear while reading near. And then,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:31.440,0:09:37.600
I was able to turn it back to near&nbsp;
spherical while seeing at a distance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:37.600,0:09:42.800
According to this explanation, the lens&nbsp;
has no role to play in the process of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:42.800,0:09:49.680
accommodation. It is the eyeball that&nbsp;
effects and controls accommodation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:49.680,0:09:52.880
It was about a hundred years ago that Dr.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:52.880,0:09:59.040
W. H. Bates had propounded the&nbsp;
same. Here is a quote from him:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:09:59.040,0:10:05.360
During more than thirty years of clinical&nbsp;
experience, I have not observed a single fact that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:05.360,0:10:11.040
was not in harmony with the belief that the lens&nbsp;
and the ciliary muscle have nothing to do with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:11.040,0:10:17.680
accommodation and that the changes in the shape&nbsp;
of the eyeball upon which errors of refraction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:17.680,0:10:24.560
depend are not permanent. My clinical observations&nbsp;
have of themselves been sufficient to demonstrate</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:24.560,0:10:31.680
this fact. They have also been sufficient to show&nbsp;
how errors of refraction can be produced at will,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:31.680,0:10:39.120
and how they may be cured, temporarily in a few&nbsp;
minutes, and permanently by continued treatment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:39.120,0:10:46.320</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:46.320,0:10:52.480
Eyes are constructed of eyeballs having two&nbsp;
sets of six muscles on each one of them. Two</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:52.480,0:10:58.000
of them are ‘oblique’ muscles and the other&nbsp;
four are ‘recti’. The two oblique muscles</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:10:58.000,0:11:03.600
are there in the shape of a belt around the&nbsp;
middle of the eyeball. The muscle above is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:03.600,0:11:11.360
called ‘superior’ and the one below, ‘inferior’.
The four recti muscles pass along the depth of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:11.360,0:11:19.840
eyeball at the top, bottom, left and right sides.&nbsp;
They are attached to the sclerotic coat at one end</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:19.840,0:11:26.160
and the bone surrounding the optic nerve at the&nbsp;
other. These four muscles at the top, bottom, left</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:26.160,0:11:34.800
and right sides of the eyeball are ‘superior’,&nbsp;
‘inferior’, ‘internal’ and “external” recti.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:34.800,0:11:40.400
When we contract the oblique muscles,&nbsp;
the eyes can easily read near.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:40.400,0:11:44.480
But when this constriction becomes&nbsp;
unconsciously habitual, the eyes</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:44.480,0:11:51.200
cannot see clear at a distance. This condition&nbsp;
is called myopia and is generally combined with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:51.200,0:11:58.240
astigmatism which means different levels of&nbsp;
constriction in various circular degrees.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:11:58.240,0:12:02.240
Also, when recti muscles are&nbsp;
kept constricted habitually,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:02.240,0:12:09.840
the eyes are not able to read at close proximity&nbsp;
clearly. Letters go blurred as in hyperopia and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:09.840,0:12:17.360
presbyopia, and distorted as in astigmatism.
When the crown chakra and the third eye chakra</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:17.360,0:12:24.240
are blocked, these are the muscles that get&nbsp;
affected first. Thereafter, the rest of them,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:24.240,0:12:32.320
including those in the jaws, on the eyebrows,&nbsp;
and around temporomandibular joints get affected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:32.320,0:12:37.920
Surprisingly, there is a direct physiological&nbsp;
connection between the muscles on the eyeballs</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:37.920,0:12:45.600
and the rest of muscles in the skull! The major&nbsp;
ones among them are the muscles named frontalis,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:45.600,0:12:52.560
temporalis and occipitalis. By relaxing these&nbsp;
three muscles via maneuvering the mandible,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:12:52.560,0:13:00.480
we can relax the muscles on the eyeballs as well.
Once that is done, we can achieve full voluntary</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:00.480,0:13:07.200
control on the entire process of accommodation.&nbsp;
This is how we can achieve central fixation of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:07.200,0:13:16.560
eyes and get rid of all the errors of refraction.
The Role That Dr. Bates Played A Hundred Years Ago</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:16.560,0:13:24.480
Around a hundred years ago in the year 1920, Dr.&nbsp;
W. H. Bates, an ophthalmologist published a book.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:24.480,0:13:31.440
It was titled “The Cure of Imperfect Sight&nbsp;
by Treatment without Glasses”. The book was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:31.440,0:13:38.240
an account of his case studies which involved&nbsp;
curing the vision of people and enabling them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:38.240,0:13:44.480
to get rid of their glasses. It was also a&nbsp;
logical analysis of how vision goes bad in</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:44.480,0:13:51.520
the first place and how to cure it. With his&nbsp;
analysis, he happened to challenge mainstream</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:51.520,0:13:58.800
ophthalmology on its theoretical premises.
Mainstream ophthalmology had always maintained</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:13:58.800,0:14:05.440
that vision, once gone bad, could never be&nbsp;
cured. It still maintains the same premise</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:05.440,0:14:12.640
to date. Hence it considers wearing glasses as&nbsp;
the primary solution. It has also come up with</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:12.640,0:14:21.280
its surgical derivative named LASIK. In LASIK,&nbsp;
they sculpt the cornea in the shape of a lens as</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:21.280,0:14:27.760
per the vision prescription. It simply turns the&nbsp;
cornea into an additional lens in front of the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:27.760,0:14:35.920
eye’s main lens without wearing glasses. Not a big&nbsp;
deal! It is rather ineffective in certain cases,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:35.920,0:14:41.600
especially in the long run. I know many&nbsp;
such people whose errors of refraction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:41.600,0:14:49.120
returned a few years after getting LASIK done.
But mainstream ophthalmology chose not to respond</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:49.120,0:14:57.760
to Dr. Bates’ challenge. It rather chose to ignore&nbsp;
him in an attempt to isolate and ridicule him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:14:57.760,0:15:04.640
The question that arises is why, after all,&nbsp;
mainstream ophthalmology chose to ignore its</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:04.640,0:15:11.920
own comrade. Was it just because it thought he&nbsp;
was doing something nonsensical? Far from it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:11.920,0:15:19.680
his questions were not illogical. Quite to the&nbsp;
contrary, he was getting positive results! Why,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:19.680,0:15:24.880
then, did his own parent organization&nbsp;
ignore him like a step child?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:24.880,0:15:32.160
The answer, as often is the case, was a&nbsp;
conflict of interests between the two.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:32.160,0:15:37.920
And mainstream ophthalmology continues that&nbsp;
same antagonistic approach toward his research</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:37.920,0:15:45.600
and findings at the time of delivering&nbsp;
this podcast…even almost a century later!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:45.600,0:15:50.400
What would mainstream ophthalmology&nbsp;
gain from this antagonism?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:50.400,0:15:57.600
The answer seems to lie in a covert conspiracy as&nbsp;
such. It is possibly scared of losing a luxurious</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:15:57.600,0:16:04.080
business that it is the sole beneficiary&nbsp;
of. Modern ophthalmology is a gigantic,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:16:04.080,0:16:10.560
multi-billion-dollar industry.
Here are two quotes to underline it:</p>

Perhaps, none of this industry’s gatekeepers want&nbsp;
to kill the proverbial golden-egg-laying duck?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:06.560,0:17:11.920
Dr. W. H. Bates ignored his isolation&nbsp;
by mainstream ophthalmology. He went</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:11.920,0:17:17.600
on treating his patients. And, by the&nbsp;
time he died in 1931, he had already</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:17.600,0:17:25.040
cured thousands of them. They had gotten rid of&nbsp;
their glasses as they didn’t need them anymore.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:25.040,0:17:31.600
After his death, many volunteers took up&nbsp;
his work and continued treating patients.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:31.600,0:17:38.720
It has now become an institution in itself that&nbsp;
promotes alternative ophthalmology, defying the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:38.720,0:17:45.920
mainstream authority. These volunteers have kept&nbsp;
Bates’ legacy alive through almost a century after</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:45.920,0:17:55.280
his death. The Bates Method, as it is famous&nbsp;
now, has sculpted a strong niche for itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:17:55.280,0:18:02.080
But there is a problem here. The Bates Method,&nbsp;
in general, is very slow in improving vision.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:02.080,0:18:06.960
Very few people afflicted with errors of&nbsp;
refraction in their faulty eyes have that</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:06.960,0:18:14.400
kind of patience. They find wearing glasses&nbsp;
a ready-made solution and surrender to it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:14.400,0:18:20.160
They don’t know that, by wearing glasses, they&nbsp;
are forcing their eyes to keep seeing through them</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:20.160,0:18:26.640
for life. An eye must keep seeing inherently&nbsp;
wrong in order to see clear from behind the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:26.640,0:18:34.560
lens fitted on it. Therefore, they kill any&nbsp;
probability of vision improvement for good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:34.560,0:18:41.440
How I Was Able to Change Bates Method of Central&nbsp;
Fixation from A Mental Procedure to A Physical One</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:41.440,0:18:48.560
As far back as my early childhood, I was diagnosed&nbsp;
with myopia. My left eye required a lens of minus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:48.560,0:18:56.000
5 diopter to see clear. Luckily, my right&nbsp;
eye was 20/20. So my optometrist gave me a</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:18:56.000,0:19:01.760
pair of glasses which I never liked wearing.&nbsp;
I could see things with my right eye without</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:01.760,0:19:08.800
any problem. Hence I put my glasses in the&nbsp;
drawer of my table and never took them out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:08.800,0:19:16.160
A few years passed. I finished my engineering&nbsp;
studies and got appointed to a government job.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:16.160,0:19:19.120
I was instructed to get my&nbsp;
physical examination done</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:19.120,0:19:24.240
in a specified government hospital&nbsp;
before I would begin on the job. So,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:24.240,0:19:31.520
I went for it, aware of the fact that one&nbsp;
of my eyes needed a minus 5 diopter lens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:31.520,0:19:37.360
But I was in for both a pleasant and&nbsp;
an unpleasant shock at the same time!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:37.360,0:19:44.800
The doctor told me that both my eyes had&nbsp;
myopia requiring minus 2.25 diopter lenses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:45.600,0:19:54.000
The world went upside down as well as downside up&nbsp;
for me. My normal 20/20 vision in my right eye had</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:19:54.000,0:20:01.600
deteriorated to require minus 2.25 diopter&nbsp;
lens to see clear. But my faulty eye had</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:01.600,0:20:11.280
spontaneously improved itself from requiring minus&nbsp;
5 diopter lens to just minus 2.25 diopter now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:11.280,0:20:17.040
How did my eyes manage to do so on their own&nbsp;
without my conscious awareness of it? It was</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:17.040,0:20:21.760
against the very basic premise upon&nbsp;
which all of mainstream ophthalmology</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:21.760,0:20:27.120
had structured its existence.
According to Jessica Lewis,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:27.120,0:20:34.560
optometrist from Illinois College of Optometry:
Not wearing glasses, also, cannot change the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:34.560,0:20:40.480
shape of your eye, so if you stop wearing&nbsp;
glasses, you will not make it so that you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:40.480,0:20:47.200
don‘t need glasses and you will not make&nbsp;
it so that your vision returns to normal.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:47.200,0:20:53.200
How can, then, mainstream ophthalmology explain&nbsp;
the reversal of my eyesight from minus 5 diopter</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:53.200,0:20:59.280
to minus 2.25 diopter?
It can’t.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:20:59.280,0:21:05.440
Anyway, I lived up to the age of 53 with both&nbsp;
of my eyes requiring correction by minus 2.25</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:06.160,0:21:13.440
diopter lenses. That&nbsp;was before I accidentally&nbsp;
stumbled upon a spontaneous and instantaneous</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:13.440,0:21:20.960
clarity of vision one day. Later, I researched&nbsp;
the phenomenon to understand it in depth and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:20.960,0:21:27.840
how to achieve it at will and sustainably.
Earlier, I had mentioned that the Bates Method</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:27.840,0:21:32.960
was slow to provide even the first&nbsp;
flashes of clear vision. At times,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:32.960,0:21:39.840
it was instantaneous but, in general, it&nbsp;
took a long time to do so. I was looking</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:39.840,0:21:46.160
for something in the procedure that would make&nbsp;
it instantaneous as well as measurable. Here,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:46.160,0:21:53.680
by instantaneous, I mean a single session of&nbsp;
a few hours. Even if it is not full clarity,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:21:53.680,0:22:01.360
the amount of clarity gained should be measurable.&nbsp;
Measurability would enable such a&nbsp;procedure to get</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:01.360,0:22:08.720
verified under the test conditions that mainstream&nbsp;
ophthalmology would, no doubt, insist on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:08.720,0:22:13.600
And this is what the Bates Method,&nbsp;
despite being a brilliant procedure,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:13.600,0:22:20.160
is lacking. It can’t generate measurable&nbsp;
improvements in a single session. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:20.160,0:22:26.880
it could never decisively pass the challenge of&nbsp;
strict scrutiny done under laboratory conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:28.320,0:22:34.560
It was because Bates had positioned his method&nbsp;
around relaxation of the mind in order to relax</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:34.560,0:22:41.920
the eyes. In relaxing the mind and the eyes, his&nbsp;
basic purpose was to attain the central fixation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:41.920,0:22:49.040
of the mind. The central fixation of the mind&nbsp;
led to the central fixation of the eyes. It meant</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:49.040,0:22:56.240
focusing at a single point in the field of vision&nbsp;
so that it made its image exactly at the fovea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:22:57.360,0:23:02.240
Bates contended that central fixation&nbsp;
of the eyes was not achievable without</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:02.240,0:23:09.280
achieving central fixation of the mind.
As I have mentioned earlier, the mind is a very</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:09.280,0:23:17.200
vague entity. It has processes inside it that are&nbsp;
intangible, meaning you can’t measure them. And,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:17.200,0:23:24.560
if you can’t measure a thing, you can’t be sure&nbsp;
of its objective existence, nor of its strength.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:24.560,0:23:31.600
You cannot say with 100% surety that you are going&nbsp;
the right way. You can’t even be sure of how much</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:31.600,0:23:39.840
of it you need to achieve the desired results.
At times they may click but rarely so. So, you</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:39.840,0:23:47.120
need to keep making trials and errors until you&nbsp;
can hit the target. It takes time, and at times,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:47.120,0:23:56.800
a lot of it. Not to mention, you can’t even create&nbsp;
them instantly and at will with 100% surety.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:23:56.800,0:24:03.680
This is what makes the Bates Method unreliable.
But, if we approach this from the perspective</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:03.680,0:24:11.120
of physical effects, it all becomes solid and&nbsp;
tangible. And they are not always the effects. At</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:11.120,0:24:18.560
times, they may be the cause to begin with. We can&nbsp;
pinpoint them. We can even measure them. Hence,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:18.560,0:24:27.120
we are more in control of them. That is why we&nbsp;
can activate them instantly and to their fullest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:27.120,0:24:32.080
This was what I did with the Bates Method&nbsp;
when it came to achieving central fixation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:32.080,0:24:39.040
of the eyes. I just changed its direction.&nbsp;
Bates had directed it from central fixation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:39.040,0:24:44.560
of the mind to the central fixation of the&nbsp;
eyes. I changed it from central fixation of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:44.560,0:24:51.600
the eyes to the central fixation of the mind.
I did a lot of research on how chakras affected</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:51.600,0:24:58.880
the anatomy and the physiology of our body. As you&nbsp;
might know already, the description&nbsp;and approach</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:24:58.880,0:25:06.000
to chakras in ancient scriptures is deeply&nbsp;
embedded in the spiritual arena. Their shallow,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:06.000,0:25:13.680
modern-day interpretations follow suit without&nbsp;
even understanding what spirituality really means.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:13.680,0:25:19.600
With their mysterious-sounding descriptions,&nbsp;
these misplaced interpretations have tended</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:19.600,0:25:26.400
to turn chakras into an esoteric discipline.
I aimed at understanding the physical effect of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:26.400,0:25:34.560
chakras at different parts of our body, i.e.,&nbsp;
on its nerves and musculature. Spirituality,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:34.560,0:25:42.880
like the mind, is not a concrete entity; it is&nbsp;
rather even vaguer than the mind. It is esoteric.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:44.080,0:25:50.240
Central Fixation Is Instantly Achievable&nbsp;
through Skeletal Chakra Meditation</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:50.240,0:25:57.040
Consequently, what I did with chakras was&nbsp;
exactly what I had done with the mind. I</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:25:57.040,0:26:02.560
addressed the issues associated with chakras&nbsp;
from the perspective of their effects on the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:02.560,0:26:08.560
body. For all we know, these so-called&nbsp;
effects might actually be the culprits</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:08.560,0:26:16.240
causing those issues in the first place!
Since body and spirit, like body and mind,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:16.240,0:26:22.080
are two sides of the same coin, the&nbsp;
former affects the latter as well. It</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:22.080,0:26:29.280
is exactly the way in which the latter had&nbsp;
affected the former before, if at all so.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:29.280,0:26:35.760
This approach enabled me to discover that central&nbsp;
fixation of the eyes was exactly what third eye</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:35.760,0:26:41.360
and crown chakra meditation achieved.
Opening the third eye and the crown</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:41.360,0:26:48.640
chakras meant achieving central fixation of the&nbsp;
eyes along with central fixation of the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:48.640,0:26:56.560
I could now pinpoint it and activate it instantly&nbsp;
to its fullest by measuring it properly. And</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:26:56.560,0:27:03.840
the best thing was I could do it at will!
Of course, it does require some time to open</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:03.840,0:27:09.280
the third eye and the crown chakras through&nbsp;
third eye and crown chakra meditation. It is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:09.280,0:27:16.320
because the muscles in its vicinity need time to&nbsp;
loosen up their age-old rigidity. Once they have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:16.320,0:27:23.760
done that, the eyes start seeing perfectly&nbsp;
without any artificial aid worn upon them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:23.760,0:27:30.320
Achieving central fixation through opening all&nbsp;
7 chakras is not only about vision correction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:30.320,0:27:36.480
Vision correction is merely an indication that we&nbsp;
are on the right track in our journey toward Homo</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:36.480,0:27:44.400
sapiens evolution as a whole. It leads us to a&nbsp;
perfect state of biological, mental and spiritual</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:44.400,0:27:52.240
health, replete with the flow of cosmic (or&nbsp;
biological) energy through us. It enables us to be</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:52.240,0:27:59.920
in peace with ourselves individually, paving the&nbsp;
way toward creating a peaceful world around us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:27:59.920,0:28:07.440
It fills us with intelligent insights to mend&nbsp;
our deteriorating sociocultural institutions and,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:07.440,0:28:16.160
then, to create a colorful world around us.&nbsp;
In short, it paves the way to heaven on earth!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:16.160,0:28:21.920
My central fixation boosted my immunity to&nbsp;
an extent that enabled me to live together</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:21.920,0:28:28.800
with my Covid-19-infected family without&nbsp;
ever contracting the virus myself. Though</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:28.800,0:28:36.240
unvaccinated, my innate immunity saved me from&nbsp;
catching it even from such close vicinity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:36.240,0:28:41.920
Third eye and crown chakra meditation,&nbsp;
or central fixation, not only clarifies</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:41.920,0:28:49.520
eyesight but also benefits the body, the mind&nbsp;
and the spirit in the following additional ways:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:49.520,0:28:58.520
Immunity Boost | Headache Eradication | Depression&nbsp;
Alleviation | Anxiety Eradication | Enhanced Focus</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:28:58.520,0:29:07.360
| Deeper &amp; Slower Breathing | Improved Circulation&nbsp;
| Stronger Heart | Faster Assimilation | Improved</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:07.360,0:29:15.120
Digestion | Smoother Excretion | Hormonal&nbsp;
Balance | Autoimmune Diseases Eradication</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:15.840,0:29:22.960
I would even venture to say that third eye and&nbsp;
crown chakra meditation or central fixation is</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:22.960,0:29:29.680
not, as Aldous Huxley would say, ‘The Art&nbsp;
of Seeing’ alone. It is actually ‘The Art</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:29.680,0:29:37.920
of Healing’ the body, the mind and the spirit.
Whenever the mind is not in a meditative state,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:37.920,0:29:43.040
it does something detrimental&nbsp;
to the body. As a result,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:43.040,0:29:50.400
the body constricts some specific muscles that&nbsp;
are meant to be relaxed and loosens some others</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:50.400,0:29:57.280
that are meant to be kept contracted. With&nbsp;
the continuation of such a mental state,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:29:57.280,0:30:04.480
the body keeps those muscles constricted or&nbsp;
loosened for long. With the passage of time,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:04.480,0:30:11.040
these muscles habituate themselves in those&nbsp;
same erroneously constricted or loosened states.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:12.400,0:30:20.240
And, with the further passage of time, the said&nbsp;
constriction or loosening turns unconscious. The</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:20.240,0:30:27.680
affected muscles lose their range of flexibility.&nbsp;
They start giving a message to the mind that they</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:27.680,0:30:35.120
are not making any effort. And the fact is that&nbsp;
they really start perceiving their constricted or</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:35.120,0:30:42.080
loosened disposition as relaxation. They don’t&nbsp;
even realize that this is a serious reduction</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:42.080,0:30:50.320
in their own innate range of flexibility. They&nbsp;
start assuming as if the range was always limited.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:50.320,0:30:56.400
We can decide to bring the affected muscles&nbsp;
back to their relaxed state, but they resist</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:30:56.400,0:31:03.520
doing so. So, we need to pull them out of this&nbsp;
unconscious habitual constriction or loosening</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:03.520,0:31:11.120
by stretching or contracting them out and up. The&nbsp;
constricted or loosened muscles perceive it as an</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:11.120,0:31:19.920
effort and hence feel pseudo-tired in the process.
However, if we show perseverance and continue to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:19.920,0:31:25.440
stretch or contract the affected muscles&nbsp;
out of their constriction or loosening,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:25.440,0:31:32.720
they listen. And they listen because their&nbsp;
unconscious memory - what is often referred to</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:32.720,0:31:40.240
as “muscle memory” - gives them a feeling of doing&nbsp;
something right. With the passage of time, they</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:40.240,0:31:48.160
start regaining their lost flexibility and range.
Muscles do take their time to get rid of their</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:48.160,0:31:53.680
constricted rigidity or loosened&nbsp;
lethargy. Once they have done it,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:31:53.680,0:32:01.120
the entire body-mind system comes back to its&nbsp;
natural, spontaneous state. With that, the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:01.120,0:32:08.800
purpose of said meditation is achieved. Thereon,&nbsp;
we only need to ensure that we don’t repeat the</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:08.800,0:32:15.440
old habits in the body or the mind again.
So, which muscles go rigid and which ones go</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:15.440,0:32:21.200
lethargic when vision gets compromised,&nbsp;
be it for distance or near reading?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:22.000,0:32:27.680
These are the muscles in the vicinity of the&nbsp;
third eye and the crown chakras. In fact,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:27.680,0:32:34.400
the crown chakra is a widening of&nbsp;
a narrow third eye chakra by 270o.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:34.400,0:32:39.280
Central fixation, through the opening of&nbsp;
chakras, not only improves our vision and</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:39.280,0:32:44.560
changes our physiological systems,&nbsp;
it also changes us as a person.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:45.200,0:32:51.360
At that point, we will already have taken&nbsp;
an important step toward Skeletal Leap into</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:51.360,0:32:57.840
the next major Homo sapiens evolution.&nbsp;
What is left is to activate the rising</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:32:57.840,0:33:05.760
of energy from the gut to the brain. And&nbsp;
this is where we enter the realm of breath.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:05.760,0:33:12.000
Thanks for listening to this episode&nbsp;
of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">0:33:12.000,0:33:17.200
In the next episode, I will tell&nbsp;
you about emptying the mind via</p>

breathing energy and breathing&nbsp;
insight with every single breath.</p>

Welcome back to the 25th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!



Today’s episode titled “Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW!” will tell you about an unintended evidence strengthening the skeletal chakra hypothesis via achieving central fixation of the eyes.



As I’ve mentioned earlier, the biological miracle that I have long been working with is the skeletal codes of instant central fixation of the eyes, the body and the mind.



Mainstream ophthalmology had always maintained that vision, once gone bad, could never be cured.





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







Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW! - Show Notes





In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap, I strengthen the fascinating connection between central fixation of the eyes and the skeletal chakra hypothesis.&nbsp;



Titled “Eye Training for Crystal Clear Eye Vision NOW!”, the episode explores how achieving central fixation not only enhances vision but also transforms our physiological systems and personal well-being.



I share a personal story involving my cataract surgery and a groundbreaking realization about visual accommodation, challenging conventional ophthalmological beliefs.&nbsp;



I discuss the significance of the oblique and recti muscles in the eye's ability to focus and how their habitual constriction leads to common vision problems like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism as well as presbyopia after the age of 40.



Discover the historical context of Dr. W.H. Bates' work and how it paved the way for understanding the relationship between the mind, body, and vision.&nbsp;



I introduce the concept of central fixation through chakra meditation, revealing how this practice can lead to profound changes in both vision and overall health.



Join me on this journey of self-discovery, as I uncover the tangible effects of opening chakras on our anatomy and physiology, and emphasize the importance of achieving a harmonious mind-body connection.



Some key moments:



(00:00:00) - Central fixation through the opening of chakras improves our vision and changes our physiological systems



(00:10:25) - Dr. W.H. Bates challenged mainstream ophthalmology 100 years ago



(00:16:01) - Modern ophthalmology is a gigantic multi billion dollar industry



(00:26:27) - Third eye and crown chakra meditation not only clarifies eyesight



You will learn about:



The relationship between central fixation and vision improvement.



How habitual muscle constriction affects eyesight.



The historical significance of Dr. W.H. Bates’ findings.



Practical steps to achieve central fixation through chakra meditation.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 24th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Fix Your Body Posture for an Amazing Chakra Cleanse!</strong>” will tell you about how skeletal re-posturing opens chakras through completing our bipedal skeletal evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As it happened, their skeleton started evolving to suit itself to bipedalism as much as it could.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It changed in its arrangement of bones with respect to one another as well as in their shapes and sizes.</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Though running became less energy-efficient, walking was much more important.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hence the trade-off worked.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It increased their locomotion tremendously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 23rd episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Release Stress: Psychological Stress Vs Biological Stress!</strong>” will tell you about what stress really means in terms of chakras and skeletal postures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stress is a situation perceived by an organism either as a threat or a challenge that needs to be coped with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In case of Homo sapiens, this type of situation has two layers to it. The first one is biological stress and the second, psychological.</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In today’s episode titled “Release Stress: Psychological Stress Vs Biological Stress,” I explain the multifaceted nature of stress, exploring its biological and psychological dimensions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I unpack the layers of stress, revealing how both external and internal factors contribute to our experiences of psychological pain.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover the two primary forms of stress that affect Homo sapiens: biological stress, managed by our nervous system, and psychological stress, which is interpreted through our minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learn about the intricate workings of the autonomic nervous system and the HPA axis, and how they respond to perceived threats or challenges.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode will also cover the various stressors, from acute challenges to chronic pressures, and their profound impacts on our health and well-being.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, I share insights into the pioneering work of Hans Selye, who laid the groundwork for our understanding of stress and its effects on the body.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Explore the concept of hardiness and how adopting a lightness mindset can transform our approach to stress management.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through the lens of Skeletal Leap, you’ll discover how skeletal re-posturing and chakra opening can alleviate stress, leading to a healthier mind-body connection.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tune in to learn how to cultivate resilience and lightness in your life.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Human skeleton is not just a static chassis on which the rest of the body, with its various organs, stays erect.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 20th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Deepest Mind Secrets: Dark Psychology Facts You Need!</strong>” will tell you about physiology vs psychology and brain vs mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Where is the seat of mind in the body?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have you ever thought about it?</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mind is the reviewing faculty of brain. It never views. It only re-views what the brain has already viewed and acted upon. It happens efficiently, provided this reviewing faculty hasn’t negatively affected the spontaneous perception and action taken by the brain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why is reviewing required?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reviewing is required to give a subjective meaning to the psychedelic perceptions and automatic actions effected by the brain. This subjective meaning imparts life with a sense of individual identity having a free will19 of its own. It makes an individual life a uniquely comprehensible story and thus makes it interesting to this reviewer that the mind is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="deepest-mind-secrets-dark-psychology-facts-you-need-show-notes">Deepest Mind Secrets: Dark Psychology Facts You Need! - Show Notes</h2>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to 20th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In today's episode titled “Deepest Mind Secrets: Dark Psychology Facts You Need!”, I jump into the intriguing comparison of neurology versus psychology, exploring the intricate relationship between the brain and the mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have you ever wondered where the seat of the mind within the body is?&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I come up with a hypothesis that the mind functions as the reviewing faculty of the brain, engaging in a complex interplay of perceptions and actions.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how the mind reviews experiences to construct a subjective narrative, shaping individual identity and free will.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also examine the concept of contaminated free will, where fear influences the mind's interpretations, leading to a distortion of certain instincts namely sex, curiosity, interaction and adventure.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learn how societal norms and the superego suppress these instincts, creating a fragmented mind that struggles with internal conflicts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, I discuss the implications of emotional constructs and how they can overshadow genuine instincts, leading to a life of mere existence rather than joyful living.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and nurturing our innate instincts to reclaim our sense of passion and joy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I navigate through the complexities of human behavior, exploring how our physical postures can influence mental states and vice versa.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode is a call to embrace the simplicity of skeletal meditations to restore balance and harmony within our mind body system.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pure Healing Energy: Kundalini Energy Vs Bioenergetics!</h2>







<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 19th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Pure Healing Energy: Kundalini Energy Vs Bioenergetics!</strong>” will tell you about bioenergetics vs kundalini and which one of the two passes to be the energy that creates life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How do materialists look at energy? They study biological energy as ’bioenergetics</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vitalists call it Kundalini and its rise from the coccyx to the crown chakra is called Kundalini awakening.</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the Chakra system, when chakras are opened along the length of Sushumna, Kundalini gets awakened and rises up to the head.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The same process, when described in materialistic terms, is the flow of biological energy in the organ cells served by the vagus nerve. As a two-way dialogue between the gut and the brain through the vagus nerve gets re-established, energy flow gets regularized.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to 19th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this 19th episode titled “Pure Healing Energy: Kundalini Energy Vs Bioenergetics!” I talk about energy flow within our bodies. I explore the contrasting perspectives of bioenergetics and Kundalini, examining which of these energies is the true essence of life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As an observer of patterns, I share my insights on how both materialistic and vitalistic approaches can offer profound understandings of our existence.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also narrate my personal experiences with energy, from the awakening of Kundalini to the scientific explanations of bioenergetics, highlighting the importance of both perspectives in our quest for healing and understanding.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 18th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “<strong>Science Vs Spirituality As Two Popular Approaches To Life!</strong>” will tell you about materialistic vs vitalistic approaches to life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As early as I came to my senses, I found myself wondering.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I remember the little kid that I was, wondering who he was or even what he was.</p>





<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also wondered if stones could do the same.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was told they could not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the latest episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In today's episode titled “Science Vs Spirituality As Two Popular Approaches To Life!”, I address the two popular approaches to life that shape our understanding of existence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From my innocent musings of my childhood to the profound complexities of my entire life, I reflect on my journey of self-discovery and my quest to understand the essence of life. Through engaging real life stories, I navigate the complexities of materialism, which views living beings as intricate machines, and contrast it with vitalism, a belief in the cosmic life energy that animates matter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You will find here:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">- The historical context of materialism and vitalism, featuring insights from thinkers like René Descartes and Charles Darwin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">- The implications of these philosophies on our understanding of consciousness and existence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">- Personal stories that illustrate the unexpected intersections of these approaches in real-life situations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">- The vitalistic perspective's enduring influence on alternative medicine and cultural beliefs.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 13th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the very first thing that I got confronted with was ascertaining what exactly it meant.</p>







<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking episode titled “Empty Your Mind with This Simple Procedure Right Now!,” Laadi Ojas dives deep into the intricate relationship between the mind and the brain.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He explores how the mind serves as the reviewing faculty of the brain, never viewing but only revisiting what has already been perceived and acted upon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Laadi shares his journey of understanding the concept of central fixation, moving from the body to the mind.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He discusses how the mind's fixation influences every aspect of human life, both positively and negatively.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through personal insights and revelations, he examines the nature of thoughts, emotions, and instincts, revealing how unresolved issues can keep the mind in a constant state of busyness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode delves into:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The distinction between the brain and the mind, and their roles in our perception of reality.</li>



<li>The concept of central fixation and its importance for mental clarity.</li>



<li>How emotions and morals can complicate the mind's natural processes.</li>



<li>The impact of societal conditioning on instincts such as sex, curiosity, and adventure.</li>



<li>The potential for achieving a state of mental emptiness through breathwork and meditation.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “Dynamic Core Stability Gets You READY to Challenge Masters!” will tell you how I cracked the code of central fixation of the body. </p>







<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Occasionally sitting for meditation in an ideal static posture to activate all these codes for a limited duration of time was not a realistic alternative.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap, titled “Dynamic Core Stability Gets You READY to Challenge Masters!”, Laadi Ojas shares his revolutionary insights on maintaining core stability throughout daily life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Drawing from personal experiences and the evolution of human movement, Laadi emphasizes the importance of centering the body's gravity to achieve optimal efficiency in all actions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how the human body's unique bipedalism has shaped our physical capabilities and learn about the intricate relationship between our core muscles and overall performance.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 9th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “Unblock Your Throat Chakra Healing Your Voice!” will tell you how I cracked the code of instant throat chakra opening in the vertebral column by pinpointing the muscles which were changing the shape of the cervical section comprising C5 and C6 posturing caused by the action of gravity on the shoulders which made them drop down rather than getting tucked in.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome back to the 6th episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode titled “Opening Sacral Chakra: Chakra Healing Secrets That REALLY Work” will tell you how I cracked the code of instantly opening sacral chakra in its location at the sacrum which is a set of 5 fused sacral vertebrae just above the coccyx or the tailbone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You will also learn how opening sacral chakra further highlights the bottom part of the lower 'S' shape of the double 'S' shaped spine further above the root chakra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP, the mind body connection for mind and body healing, is a giant leap that our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">skeleton</a> can take through the way it postures its joints.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">I had stumbled upon this miracle many years ago, coincidentally.</p>



<p class="p1 wp-block-paragraph">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.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Starting from this episode 6, I changed my day of publishing my new podcast episodes from Sundays to Tuesdays as Sundays are my listeners' family days on which they fulfill leftover weekly errands. Now 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! </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome to another enlightening episode of Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure! In today's episode, titled “Root Chakra Opening and Healing - Surprising Secrets Unearthed!,” I, Laadi Ojas, share the transformative journey of unlocking the foundational energy of life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Having previously experienced the miraculous benefits of instant vision improvement, I turned my attention to the chakra system, particularly the root chakra. Located at the coccyx, or tailbone, this chakra is the remnant of our evolutionary past and is crucial for maintaining balance and stability in our lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, I delve into the intricacies of the root chakra, exploring how its closure can lead to feelings of fear and anxiety, disrupting both our physical and psychological well-being. I discuss the common postural issues, such as anterior and posterior pelvic tilt, that can lead to a closed root chakra and the resulting lifestyle diseases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I break down the relationship between pelvic posture and the root chakra's energy flow, revealing how correcting these postural habits can lead to profound changes in our health and vitality. I share my personal experiences, the challenges I faced, and the insights I gained while working to open this vital energy center.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through scientific investigation of this ancient esoteric system, I provide actionable steps to unlock the root chakra and restore balance in your life. Discover how to make this newfound posture your first nature, leading to increased awareness, energy, and focus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I conclude this exploration, I invite you to embrace the changes that come with opening the root chakra and prepare for the next exciting episode where I will reveal how I cracked the code of instant sacral chakra opening.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unlocking The Secrets of Balancing The Chakras: Podcast Episode 4 - Show Notes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome to the 4th episode titled “Unlocking The Secrets of Balancing The Chakras” of my podcast “Skeletal Leap: A Living Adventure.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SKELETAL LEAP is a transformative journey that connects mind and body, allowing us to unlock the potential within our skeleton through the art of posturing its joints.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In today’s episode, I delve deeper into the ancient chakra system that underpins our physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Having previously cracked the code of instant visual acuity, I now explore how all seven chakras can be opened biologically to enhance our health and vitality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join me as I discuss the profound significance of these chakras, their connection to our evolutionary journey, and how they have been shrouded in esoteric language that often obscures their true potential. I aim to demystify the chakra system, transforming it from an abstract concept into a comprehensible and practical framework for self-healing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through this exploration, I will share my insights on the importance of maintaining a healthy posture and the role it plays in the flow of energy through our bodies. We’ll address how the modern lifestyle has led to a collective closing of these chakras and the implications it has on our overall health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how the interplay between the mind, body, and the chakra system can lead to a more energetic and fulfilling life. I will also introduce the concept of the vagus nerve and its connection to the chakra system, illustrating how both materialistic and vitalistic approaches can guide us to create a holistic understanding of our health.</p>
