I get emails with queries along the lines of – “how do I learn to forgive”, “I did xyz in the past, how can forgive myself”, “he/she did xyz to me in the past, I am not able to forgive this person, but I want to, how do I do it?”, “I feel a strong [...]

I mentioned about a product called Brainev (short for Brain Evolution System), in the post Eliminating Anxiety, as an effective assistance to the phase of releasing past momentum and return of focus towards conscious living. This product basically consists of 6 mp3s (labeled level-1 to level-6, each of 30 minutes duration), requiring you to listen [...]

I was an ardent reader of “self help” books since the later part of my school days and it became quite an obsession with me during my college days. The recurrent theme of most of these self-help books was the power of “positive thinking”, it was easy to summarize, the message in all these books, [...]

Everything is essentially “energy” and hence follows all the laws pertaining to energy. One of the truths about energy is that – “energy can neither be created or destroyed, it can only change forms”. We create an imbalance of emotional energy by inhabiting the state of imbalanced thinking and its accumulation, in turn, leads to [...]

A large part of conscious living is working with the mindset of making deliberate choices (from a place of being objective) on following what feels like a requirement, responsibility, inspiration or exploration, in your current reality. Once you let go of the past momentum created by unconscious living, where you were mostly dragged around by [...]

The dynamics involved in the phase of “letting go” are very different from the dynamics involved in the phase of “conscious living” (or return of focus). The phase of letting-go, or the phase of release, is only required to reach a place of being free of the hold of the past momentum, of emotional and [...]

The process of finding inner freedom boils down to allowing the dissolution of all the emotional, and mental, momentum created by “resistance-based” thinking, or what I would call the “momentum of resistance”. The end of the momentum of resistance is the beginning of the foundation of openness, which is the requisite for inner freedom. However, [...]

The state of depression can be seen as an imbalanced low state, or in other words a low state of high intensity/momentum. It’s important to understand that depression can happen at two levels 1. Physiological depression 2. Mental depression (these are not medical terms or categories, I’ve coined them for the purpose of my explanation) [...]

If I have summarize the various dysfunctions that people feel in their life, they can be described as below Anxiety – This is an imbalanced aspect of the fear dimension in our thinking. Fear is natural in life, simply because life is “uncertain” (where you can’t even know, with 100% certainty, what’s going to happen [...]

Life-energy in expression/movement is what I call Life. The whole deal of life is about life-energy exploring itself, experiencing itself and expressing itself. Life-energy does have a certain nature which you can sense in your own mind/thinking-space (after all, every mind is made in the image of the mind of life-energy) – some specifics of [...]

One of the biggest impediments to growth, in a human being, is the force of anxiety. Eliminating the pull of anxiety provides a huge leverage towards living life from a place of inspiration, wisdom and creativity. You can have all the inspirations coming in but there can be no real movement, or action, on your [...]

The nature of experience that stems from a place of wholeness is very different from the experience you had from a place of “imbalance”. In this context, I use the term “imbalance” purely as a relative reference to contrast it with the state of “wholeness”. If you are not in wholeness, you are in imbalance [...]

Life is a “thinking energy”, you as a soul/being as well as you as the physical body (with the heart & brain as the intelligence centers) are a form of life-energy and hence have this inherent nature of being a “thinking” entity. Living from a place of wholeness has nothing to do with the “end [...]

Lethargy can be a force of resistance to “right action”. If there is a presence of lethargy, it’s difficult to follow the inspirations, within you, for action – it’s like your body is not being co-operative to your mind/thinking. You need to be free of the mindset of struggle-based living, where you are moving from [...]

In the post – a lesson in humility, I talked about how the plane of Earth is a perfect schooling ground for a soul (being) to learn a sense of authentic humility through coming to an understanding of the oneness of life, thus letting go of egoic pride, and seeing through any sense of false [...]

Sensitivity, feelings, thoughts and emotions are different terms which we may use without being very clear in ourselves about what they really mean. For example, we use terms like sensitivity, feelings and emotions interchangeably in many ways. It’s important that I define what I mean when I use these terms, in the context of this [...]

If you are presently experiencing a barrage of negativity from your mind, with a constant flux of emotions, it may seem unrealistic to even imagine that one can actually come to a place of unwavering peace – but eventually, as you move through the process of releasing the mind momentum, you inevitably end up in [...]

The state of over-excitement is a sign of inner restlessness and instability – this imbalance becomes evident when you notice that the states of over-excitement always create the opposite states of a real downer (depression or frustration) as the next cycle. Over-excitement pulls you to one extreme of light natured polarity, as result the next [...]

The word “patience” can have some gloomy undertones for the mind as it implies “waiting longer”. However, as far as the mind is concerned it can never really understand what patience means, all it can do is develop “controlled impatience” – some people are good at controlling their impatience as a matter of discipline, they [...]

There are many books, and websites, available today which teach about the potential to create reality using techniques of visualization. Basically, the technique is to visualize the reality you desire, in your mind, and emotionally create the good feelings that you want to experience through the manifestation of this reality. Such a visualization is what [...]

You can sense that in spite of being surrounded by billions of living beings you are still inherently alone. This sense of aloneness cannot be helped because you are an individual stream of consciousness; your individual-ness cannot be erased and hence will always create this sense of separateness and thus the feeling of being alone. [...]

Life has an obsession towards itself, quite simply because life is all there is. This obsession of life for itself is what manifests into all forms – the underlying force behind all manifestations of life is this energy of “obsession”. If you try to suppress this nature of obsession in you, it ends up creating [...]

This is a follow up on my previous post – What are you driven by? The term “love”, being so widely used for so many different contexts, can create a lot of imagination in the mind about what it means to be “driven by love” – hopefully you don’t imagine this state to indicate some [...]

Here I am using “negative ego” as a term, I am not using “negative” as an adjective to define ego. The ego is basically the “I” reference in our physicality, and inherently it’s essential for our physical existence to have a structure, meaning and perspective. The problem is basically with the negativity that creeps into [...]

A look at your mind will easily let you know what’s the predominant feeling you are driven by, it has to be one of these – hatred, fear, sexuality, boredom, joy, love. We are not necessarily driven by one feeling alone, but you can always sense what’s the predominant driving force in your life. It’s [...]

A lot of people misunderstand the pointer of “allowing”, or surrendering to what is, as a means to become “passive” rather than using it as an understanding to enhance their capacity to live a deliberate life of well-being and growth. The application of allowing is supposed to work in conjunction with the application of deliberate [...]

There was a recent query in the comment section from a reader dealing with a certain fear in the mind, wanting to understand how to release its hold. I thought it would be useful to use this example to elucidate the actual process that’s involved in dissolving a certain fear in a state of allowing. [...]

In the last post I talked about the state of Inner Wholeness which is about coming to a place free of resistance created by accumulation of negative energy from the past and momentum of negativity in the mind. The state of inner wholeness is extremely conducive to allowing your desired realities to manifest at a [...]

A lot of words like “happiness”, “bliss” and “fulfillment” create a skewed imagination, in the mind, about what it feels like to have a space of inner wholeness. The deal with inner wholeness is that it’s a state of balance or stability, it’s not necessarily a state of a constant high where you jump out [...]

One of the biggest challenges of physical life is dealing with fear. The brain being a survival machine is prone to be “wary” of life all the time, it’s constantly on the guard, worried about the future, doubting the possibility of a positive outcome, confused about existence and always wondering if its missing out on [...]

The whole deal of coming to an inner balance is to be free of the hold of negativity. It’s important that I give a clear definition of what I mean by “negativity”, so that a reader’s mind does not run into a misinterpretation of it. The challenge of using words to convey a knowing is [...]

You see a lot of books on law of attraction which talk about focusing strongly on the reality you desire to create, and to stay in this focus single mindedly until it manifests. Scientifically this is very true, it takes a single minded focus for a seamless manifestation of a desired reality – if your [...]

Anger by itself is a very normal expression in a human mind, however an intense/overwhelming anger that grips your being, to the point where you sense that you’ve lost control of your reaction, is a symptom of a high momentum of negativity, in this case an imbalance in dark nature. Anger can get overwhelming when [...]

Desire is a thought of creation and this thought has the fuel of your “interest” (emotional and mental interest). This fuel, of your interest, is the initial propelling force that launches your desire into the space of life-energy and it’s added to your already existing life-stream. Your life-stream is basically the movement of life-energy towards [...]

The difference between someone who leads a “reactive” life and someone who is conscious of his/her ability to attract reality (their potential for creation) is that the former lives in compromises while the latter always stands true to his/her heart’s choice. I am using “heart” as a metaphor here, by heart’s choice I mean the [...]

The deal with free will is that you have it when you realize that you have it, until then you are basically a puppet to your external conditioning and survival mindset. Free will is a choice which is always available to you owing to the fact that you have the capacity to create your reality [...]

If you look at a scenic landscape, a glorious sunset, a vast expanse of tulips, a preening peacock, a star lit sky – there is an immediate sense of awe where you feel appreciation for the beauty depicted by nature; it’s considered a very divine experience, by many, to appreciate nature. When you appreciate nature, [...]

The whole idea of deliberate creation is to understand your potential to create your desired reality without struggle. The way I define struggle is – “An action that does not come from a place of inspiration, but from a place of fear, through belief in lack”. Action will be required, in some form, before a [...]

What we call “physical” is just small clusters of energy vibrating in a dense manner. Energy has no boundaries, but each physical form we see does have “visible” boundaries due to the “condensation”/clustering of energy – this is the play of duality in the midst of non-duality. The term “non-duality” is the crux of a [...]

One of the most deluded ways of living life is to live it for the “pursuit” of happiness – I don’t mean “deluded” in a derogatory way, but just as a factual way of saying that it’s not the most prudent way to live. Happiness is the basic necessity for a harmonious functioning of the [...]

I always describe the natural vibration of life-energy as “wholeness”, I used to refer to it as “pure positive” in some of the older posts but that term was highly misleading, just as the term “negative” is misleading. The reason why “wholeness” is a better term to describe the natural vibration of life-energy is because [...]

There is a lot of misunderstanding about the word “negativity” and this misunderstanding is at the root of creating “actual negativity” in most people. The “actual negativity” is resistance to growth – that’s what negativity really is. You are not here to sit in a feathered nest with no challenges, you are here to grow [...]

The mind is inherently afraid of pain of any form – be it physical pain or emotional pain. The irony is that we go through a lot of pain in our life just to avoid facing a certain pain that we fear. For example, the fear of facing the pain of being rejected by our [...]

For a lot of us feeling “unloved” is probably one of the biggest sadness generating factor, it can even lead to stark depression or imbalanced behaviors of frustration. Also, there some of people who don’t really feel “unloved”, in fact they may get a lot attention from the outside, but feel a lack of that [...]

During our childhood we are mostly dependent on elders to take care of us and instruct us on “how to be”, be it our parents, teachers, relatives or some external authority. The schooling system being focused on “group education” cannot really cater to individualistic needs, it’s not customized for the needs of every child, rather [...]

Imagination is the mode of communication between the mind and the inner being. The term “inner being” basically refers to your aspect as the life-stream focused on this body. You can say that your inner being is connected to the “non-physical” realm of consciousness, the wholeness of it. Your mind is observing the physical reality [...]

Creation of a new reality requires some form of “change”, and this change usually would entail the dissolution of some parts (or all) of the old reality, you can call it the “consequences” of allowing a new reality. A conscious mind is more aware of the consequences of a change than an unconscious mind. By [...]

The moment you compromise on your joy the direct “affirmation” you are making to your subconscious mind, and thus to the universe, is that – “I don’t deserve a good life” – it doesn’t matter how many positive affirmations you spell out every morning in front of your mirror, they won’t make any real difference [...]

Actually, subconscious mind is nothing but the “neural pathways” that have been established in your brain as result of your past beliefs and conditioning. During your unconscious existence, when you weren’t aware enough, you ended up imbibing a lot of limiting beliefs, negative conditioning and misguided perceptions about life, that you took to be “true” [...]

Transitions are always a challenge especially if you find yourself clueless about what’s happening. We’ve all experienced different forms of transitions in our life as we grew up, from infancy to teenage to adulthood, other transitions were from school to college to career, and possibly several transitions in career. The transition periods are always challenging [...]

Ultimately “existence” boils down to thoughts. The original meaning of the word exist, which is derived from Latin, is to “step out” or stand out. The way life-energy comes into existence is through the means of a thought, or an imagination, that it holds focus on. This “focus” on the imagination, or thought of creation, [...]

There is a huge difference between a “recklessly” free mind and an aligned mind – the former is basically a state of carelessness that arises from being imbalanced in joy orientation at the cost of ignoring the inner wisdom, the latter is a state of balance where your being is free of negativity/resistance but also [...]

There is a time and place for gaining knowledge, and understanding the deal of life, but eventually it’s not the knowledge that brings freedom but about finally realizing that you don’t need to force anything, that you can let go of your struggle and allow life to take over. Letting go of struggle is a [...]

The problem is that anything can be used by the mind to hike its activity even more, for example, when there are teachings about “ego” in spiritual circles, the mind hooks on to the teachings and goes about trying to get rid of the ego, making this into a new obsession. When there is a [...]

When a fearful thought is generated by your brain how much of your body is impacted by its grip? If your brain/mind has a high momentum, it’s a given that it creates huge contraction in your whole body, specifically in the gut, chest and brain area, in many cases this resistance in even felt strongly [...]

There’s a lot of awareness among people, at present, about “staying at peace with the Now”, especially since the popularity of the many spiritual teachings and literature in the last few years, in this information age. This awareness, about the amount of restlessness in the body and the endless agitation in the mind towards wanting [...]

The idea of surrender can create a negative connotation in the mind which senses a vulnerability and a loss of control in it. Surrendering to “what is” is not an act of meekness rather it’s a state of openness, where you wisely understand that your mind does not know the bigger picture and hence its [...]

You may be carrying specific fears in your mind, which you struggle with everyday, like fear of general social interaction, fear of traffic, fear of talking to the opposite sex, fear of flight, fear of lifts, fear of your colleagues/manager, fear of being judged, fear of bullies, fear of death, fear of failure, fear of [...]

Most people who get stuck with obsessive thoughts, or people who have an anxiety condition (where their brain is constantly thinking anxious thoughts), fail to realize that this condition is a “symptom” and not the problem itself. They keep trying to treat the symptom without acknowledging the real problem. They look to try to solve [...]

The brain references itself, and the body, as the “Me” and creates several thoughts about this “Me” thought based on its observation, interpretation, belief and conditioning. There was a phase in your life when the brain had a very vague sense of “Me”, this was during your childhood when the brain was just getting acquainted [...]

The mind is not a problem when it comes to its “natural” state of being – it just feels calm and spacious, rather than feeling frantic and closed. When we are living in a state of low awareness, we tend to fuel, and ingrain, a lot of negativity in own mind unknowingly, through our unconscious [...]

No matter how hard you try, it’s not possible to make the ego feel whole. The ego is simply the “me” thought-structure of the brain and when you are unconscious, of your connection with life, you take yourself to be this “me” thought so rigidly that you start feeling isolated from the universe. When you [...]

Your “focus” is highly powerful because anything you focus on starts amplifying in your experience. Focus means to give “belief” and interest. Focus means to take the awareness in your brain and concentrate it on something – an event, a thought or a feeling. Focus means to be engrossed, to participate, to join in or [...]

The negativity that’s most stark in many brains is the sense of “unworthiness” which usually translates into a lack of self-confidence and development of patterns of self hatred. This sense of unworthiness is the most toxic negativity on can ever hold, simply because it single handedly spawns most other forms of negativity like suppression, meekness, [...]

I talked about the resistance created by the force of ego, towards your life-stream, in this post – dissolving the resistance of ego. The ego is obviously not very interested in all the talk about its dissolution and mostly just wants to skip such understandings. It’s more interested in its sustenance than its dissolution. However, [...]

Understanding your mind is the prerequisite towards aligning with it. Everything physical has limited dimensions – the “mind” (the brain in your body) is physical and hence has limited dimensions/aspects to it. Anyone who has some awareness can easily see all the aspects of their mind quite clearly, and can also understand/know the aspects of [...]

Ego is a thought-structure based in separation where the brain takes itself to be “me” and looks at the world as the “other”. The brain does need a sense of “me” in order to function, and it serves a practical value in physical life. However, once this sense of “me” becomes acutely rigid and strong, [...]

When you deviate from the core personality of your mind/brain, you start living with an “alter ego” where you are unconsciously forcing yourself to be someone you are not. The reasons for not aligning with the core personality of your mind are many – You felt judged during your childhood when you tried to be [...]

The dimension of fear can be a huge challenge for most people and can act as the biggest resistance to them aligning with their life-stream. However, like all dimensions in the mind, when one is aligned with this dimension, it allows for a positive, and wholesome, experience of life. Just imagine how your life would [...]

The word “hatred” immediately creates a negative image in the mind which dis-allows you from fully exploring the flavor and power of this nature in your physical being. Hatred is a “dark nature” dimension present in all minds (in all living beings) and a balance towards this dimension is required to ensure that you don’t [...]

I discussed the 6 dimensions of a human mind a few posts back. In summary, the six dimensions of a mind are – love, joy, fear, hatred, boredom and sexuality, all human minds have all these six dimensions present in them in varying intensities. The dimension(s) of mind that’s most dominant, in you, decides that [...]

The being that we are is inherently a free spirit, that’s one reason why we find that it can be quite challenging to live in a realm of limitations. However, the reality is that the physical realm is fraught with limitations and boundaries. A few limitations of the physical realm are as below – It [...]

All human minds operate under 6 dimensions – Love, Fear, Joy, Hatred, Boredom and Sexuality. These 6 dimensions are present in all human minds, and its natural make-up also determines the “intensity” of some of these dimensions. It’s not possible to ever “erase” one of these dimensions totally from the mind, and people who are [...]

An external conditioning present in the mind, is taken to be “true” by the mind and its belief in this conditioning causes it to attract experiences that give evidence/reflection of it. For example, if your mind believes in the conditioning that “life is a struggle”, then the external reality you attract will constantly give you [...]

Aligned living is when you are no longer “pretending” to be someone you are not – you come to this non-pretentious living when you first understand your “being” nature (as the pure positive energy) and then understand your “mind” by bringing an unconditional love and awareness to it. Only when you truly understand the wholeness [...]

Carrying a strong child identity, as an adult, is a major cause of negativity. The child identity is basically the “ego” structure that you had when you were a child. A lot of adults carry this “child ego”, or child identity, in them way into their adult lives because they fail to let go of [...]

This physical machine that we call our body has two centers/organs with “perception intelligence” – the heart and the brain. These two organs, in combination, dictate and create our physical experience. The heart is constantly feeding the brain through its emotional signals and the brain in turn feeds the heart out of the vibrations created [...]

All human minds seem to have 4 core elements negativity – Inferiority, Craving, Suspicion and Empathy (with suffering). If you are wondering how “empathy” could ever be a negative thing, I would be explaining its dynamics as I take up each of these elements in detail below. I have mentioned these four elements in a [...]

A byproduct of understanding the truth of life is that you acquire a confident mind. This confidence arises from the fact that your mind realizes its connection with life and understands that the movement of life-stream is in the direction of manifesting its well-being. You no longer feel isolated because you can sense that you [...]

All minds create a negative ego structure which stems from the “fear” and “hate” aspect of the mind. The aspect of fear, in the mind, is born out of its natural design as a “survival machine” and the aspect of hate is born partly out of fear and partly out of “discrimination” that it feels [...]

If you notice, it’s not the negative thoughts that are the problem but the “feeling” it generates that causes suffering. Feelings are linked with thoughts because a feeling is generated by whether a thought is in resistance to your life stream or if it’s aligned with it. If a thought is in resistance to your [...]

The whole cycle of awakening goes like this Phase 1: You are unconsciously identified with the mind, lost in physicality (lost in the mind) Phase 2: You wake up from your mind’s external conditioning and realize your true wholeness as the universal consciousness, and realize the truths about life’s movement. (This is called awakening of [...]

I received quite a few mails in response to the post – Dark nature and light nature in humans, wanting an in-depth insight into the dark natured mind, so in this post I will go into a more detailed description of the various behavior patterns present in dark natured humans. Before I get into the [...]

Since the understanding of this pointer is essential to the whole process of living without resistance, it’s important to have a clear insight of it so that there are no misinterpretations in the mind. Below I’ve listed out a few common misunderstandings in the mind about this pointer, with some insights on a clearer understanding [...]

The term “human being” is an accurate description of what’s present – the “human” body and the “being” that’s focused in it or through it. Of course, in essence the “body” and the “being” are one and the same thing because they are the same energy, but the body is a “physical form”, created through [...]

The term “dark” immediately creates the image of “negative” in the mind, and thus there is a judgment towards it, which closes down any receptivity to want to understand it at a deeper level. Hence I would not have wanted to use this particular term, in this post, to discuss the two “natures” of physical [...]

It’s quite ironical that the very mind that says it wants freedom from problems is also the one that finds identity in problems – this behavior is quite common in many people. By its very nature, addiction is a phenomenon where you inherently know something is bad for you but you also don’t want to [...]

It’s quite common for people to state something along the lines of – “I don’t how/why I behaved that way” or “I don’t know how/why I did that”. If you find yourself being clueless about the way you behave, or the way you react to situations, on many occasions, it indicates that you are not [...]

On the surface there may seem to be a contradiction between these two processes – “Self alignment” and “Inner transformation”. Self alignment points towards aligning with the natural make-up of your mind or human expression in your present, while “Inner transformation” points towards allowing a real transformation to take place in your mind/physicality/expression towards allowing [...]

To be fearless is not a state of being where fear stops arising in you; it’s a state of being where you are no longer “afraid” of fear. A lot of people are so terrified of the feeling of fear that they live constantly in fear of their mind. The whole pursuit of spirituality, in [...]

Are there are times when you behave in a manner that feels completely “contradictory” to what you want yourself to be? Do you feel that there is a lack of consistency in your behavior/attitude which makes you feel “unpredictable” about yourself – in that you are not really able to find a stability within you? [...]

There are billions of us living on this planet, and yet, you won’t find two people who have a similar mind. By “mind” I am specifically referring to the “thinking” part of you. The “thinking” center in a human body is biologically the Brain. So, basically, no two brains are similar in the way they [...]

If there was no negativity in the thoughts of your mind/brain you would always feel the joy/peace in your being. A thought based in fear or hatred, created in your mind, creates a low-vibration in the energy space of your body as a whole, and your body’s vibration pulls away from the natural vibration of [...]

The way our brain works decides how we experience our physical existence because the brain is the “center” that creates interpretations/perceptions and thus creating our experience of life. Simply put, your entire “world” resides in your brain because it’s through your brain that you create the experience of “your” world. If you compare several humans [...]

Self hatred is a highly toxic form of thinking because it directly resists your well-being. When you have thoughts of inferiority about yourself, or when you feel undeserving/unworthy, it’s a form of self hatred because through these thoughts you are undermining yourself and not valuing who you are. Always remember that who you are is [...]

A human brain works on “thought patterns”, which are nothing but “programming” that has been indented into its neural network. You can also observe a definite “pattern” in some of the thoughts that are produced in the brain. For example, it’s possible that your brain is presently in the habit of creating a pattern of [...]

This was a query that came in from one of the readers, and I thought I would post the reply as blog post so that it can be insightful to other readers who might be dealing with certain “Phobias”. Where does fear originate? It’s important to realize a very simple truth that fear “originates” in [...]

The mind can get incredibly noisy at times, and it can also go totally silent at times. You can’t ever know when your mind decides to become noisy, just like you can’t know when a baby decides to cry and wail. Once you realize that no human being has ever succeeded in “stopping” the mind [...]

The biggest confusion for people who get into spirituality is with regards to their “Ego”. It’s common for spiritual people to consider Ego as negative; but in truth, it’s not Ego that’s negative but thoughts based in fear that are negative. Ego is Ego; it’s not negative or positive. What you “think” determines whether you [...]

I use the word “identification” because that’s the root cause of suffering. If you don’t identify with something, it cannot have power over you. You are pure consciousness, and you are also the human mind (as a physical expression of you). The human mind has the capacity to think negative or positive thoughts. The human [...]
