On Thursday, November 20th, Mahat will make a presentation on the topic of “Pressure, Stress, and Worry Management.”

As always, the lounge will open by 7pm.

First check out this image I took of a toothpaste box. Notice that this toothpaste contains fluoride, just like the most toothpastes do. Because it contains fluoride, which is practically a poison, there is a warning printed on the box. I have highlighted it.

In case you can’t read it, I will transcribe it here for you:

“Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If more then used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poision Control Center right away.”

That the thing that you’re brushing your teeth with is dangerously poisinous is revealed to you right on the tube’s package. If swallowed, you better call the poison control center right away!!! And that’s what they have us brush our teeth with? Darn cheaters! And it’s not only in our toothpaste, it is in our drinking water too!

That we can’t trust the establishment is something modern youth tends to forget. I suggest you watch this video:

Throughout the history of encient cultures people explored the spiritual aspect of life. This kind of ventures require an alternative lifestyles. Such lifestyles are not allowed these days. “Not allowed”!!! What am I saying here!? Yes, they are not allowed in the sense that modern people are so mesmorised by the secular culture and it’s values that they dare not investigate alternatives. For that reason I decided to post the kind of information like the one in this post, exposing just how “wellwishing” is the secular body.

Here is a really great example. Check out this video:

Who’s in charge?

I was under the impression that Canada and Australia were sovereign countries.

I guess not.

This video shows the heads of both these states reading the same exact statement - word for word - supporting the invasion of Iraq.

Who wrote this thing?

Who distributed it?

Who compelled these obvious puppets to read it?

The Queen? The CIA? Who runs these people.

Note that Canada’s Harper was not yet Prime Minister when he made this speech selling out his country for god knows who - but he is now.

.

I urge and encourage people to pursue financial, social, cultural, etc., etc., freedom from the modern establishment. We really need alternatives.

What follows is a discussion that took place on one of the THU nights at the Lounge. Have fun.

There is a great irony I’d like to tell you about.

People make plans for material happiness. Material happiness refers to happiness obtained through our physical bodies. This is necessary. Everyone has to take care of one’s physical body. The body needs to be fed, clothed, washed, etc. If it is hot we naturally take some clothes off, and if it is cold we put some on. That is just normal.

People make plans and endeavor for material happiness individually and collectively.

Individually:
People plan for education that will bring about security and prosperity for the material body. Thus people are on a constant lookout for better job opportunities. People make business schemes, honest and dirty.

Collectively:
People come together to form groups, clubs, organizations, societies, and nations in order to protect mutual material happiness. Often when this is done in relationships, people call it love.

The irony is that people who plan more for material happiness are the ones that are more disturbed and unhappy!!! I know this for certain as I have counseled hundreds upon hundreds such individuals.

The problem is that people don’t have their priorities set in the proper order. First priority has to be our spiritual life, not material. I am not saying that people need to stop endeavoring for material happiness or comfort. I am just saying that spiritual development has to be our first priority. There is a saying that one should eat to live, not live to eat. That implies that one should make an effort to procure food, but one has to keep in mind that the business of procuring food is not what life is all about it. We are spiritual entities who have material bodies. Thus our primary needs are spiritual. And we can observe that people who neglect their spiritual development are not the happy ones. They are the miserable folks. The point is that people need to learn to mend and bend their material lives in order to suit their spiritual development, not other way around. The fear for material maintenance is a big obstacle people need to overcome in order to reclaim their constitutional right: happiness.

How to cultivate and practice spiritual life tends to be elusive for lots of people. Here we reveal it.

Step 1 – sravanam
Sravanam means to inquire about spiritual life and related topics. By doing this we are going to end up reading a lot about it and ask lots of questions about it. More and more we inquire, hear, and learn, closer we get to the second step: kirtanam.

Step 2 – kirtanam
Kirtanam means to speak about spiritual life. Now we get to talk about it. Lots of inquiring and talking about spiritual subjects will naturally take us to the third step: smaranam.

Step 3 – smaranam
Smaranam means to remember. Because of all that reading, hearing, inquiring, and discussing we will naturally keep thinking about spiritual topics which are going to take prominence in our minds, even to the point that we’ll be dreaming about it.

Step 4 – karanam
Karanam means to do or to act. Learning, inquiring, talking and discussing, remembering and thinking about our spiritual development will eventually guide us to a spiritual practice. This is natural as thoughts always tend to eventually turn into an activity. Thus the cycle is completed.
