The Sex of the Soul and the Man-Woman Inequality.

The soul is bisexual and brahmacharya is about bisexuality and should be taken up by those who are above the limitations of being a male/female.

“When you think about a subject, you think you know ‘100 %' about it. When you talk about it in front of your ‘dog’, you actually speak out ‘150 %’ on it. When you discuss it in the right forum, you end up realizing ‘200-1000 %’ about it. The power of an open debate! ” [The Bengalis love to do it all the time implying that all souls interested in debating are born in a Bengali family, on this side of the world; the rest I do not know and although I like it too, I am not a Bengali and I am probably a misfit! (Pun intended on my Bengali friends)]

I discovered the role of sex in the moulding of a soul for a lifetime, in 3 different discussions:

1. [2000-2005] - Atheetha Ashram with MA & a 60 year old lady lecturer from Calcutta Univ., who retreats to this ashram every year once: She had so much of this man-woman inequality in her discussion that I thought she was a victim of men’s domination in her life. The men in her surroundings seemed to have had an adverse effect on her. She had spent 60 years in this state of mind, believing this to be true and being confined and reserved by this idea. MA tried explaining holistically, but I butted in – “It is not about being a man or a woman. The soul does not have any sex, but once it wears the male/female body, it takes up the attributes of that body and believes to be limited by those attributes. Those souls, who realize this fact, rise above that reality and irrespective of whether they are men/women, they exercise their strengths in totality, rising above the man-woman stereotypes and the boundaries set by the society. There is no man-woman inequality to such souls & none is inferior to the other. It is about how to use that body for that lifetime and all the excess baggage that comes with it!” (It dawned on me that I believed in this ideology which I probably had picked up from GDs or books, but I like to believe it this way, whether it is right or wrong, until it can be proven otherwise). The lady was still confused and was probably too old to believe in this ideology and wipe out ‘her opinion’ of 60-years which was probably moulded into her memory for this lifetime. And that is why one has to keep on moving on the journey, keeping the learning and forgetting the experiences.

2. [2000-2003]-With MP in a chat: I was telling her- “I have all the experiences as a man for 27 years and behave according to my 27 years of learning as a man, but I do not know what it means to be woman even for a single day. Similarly, she had all the experiences of being a woman of 24 years and that she behaved as per her experiences of this lifetime, without knowing how a man thinks or behaves. This is where the soul is confined and made to believe that it is male or female and that it has to act accordingly. Now for a day, if we were to exchange bodies, I would still act like a man in a woman’s body and she would act like a woman although in a man’s body. All the knowledge of this lifetime has to be unlearned to behave like a male or female should.” And that is why a ‘Reset’ is required after every lifetime. [I understand more of what I 'just' said then, now]

3. 2008- With RK, PVK & PJ: Don’t recall how the topic came up, but there was a debate on our beliefs in a man-woman relationship, wherein RK was being the provocative PITA that he can be and was trying to lead the discussion in a particular direction… Again, I tried summarizing my understanding on the topic-“According to Osho, the 4 primary aspects of a man and woman are present in every person. They are: <1> Physical aspect, <2> Emotional Aspect, <3> Mental Aspect & <4> Spiritual Aspect. There are more aspects/bodies to an individual, but these primarily define the personality. A man is strong in aspects 1 & 3, by default [Generally, a man can be physically (very obvious) & logically (more from the egoistic perspective) dominating]. Similarly, by nature, a woman is strong in aspects 2 & 4 [Generally, a woman can be emotionally (very obvious) and spiritually (slightly complex; needs further explanation) dominating. Women tend to believe or have unquestioned faith in God (matters of heart), whereas for a man, it needs to be proven first (logically/mentally)]. On their own, a man or a woman are incomplete in at least 2 of these aspects. Their union through marriage or a relationship completes/supplements the lack of the respective aspects within him/her. As a couple, the man learns to exercise his emotions or belief/faith through his woman and similarly, a woman learns to exercise her (weakness/lack of) masculinity & ego through her man. Here, the souls moulded by the type of body for a lifetime realize the completion of nature through the ‘other’ type. When a soul, irrespective, of what body it wears after experiencing both the male and female natures, does not require the other type to fulfill its nature, it is ready for Brahmacharya or Celibacy. On the contrary, as long as the soul in a particular body type needs another type to fulfill itself, it should not take up Celibacy! Further, at a later stage in life, after experiencing the other aspects through one’s partner, the individual actually can become stronger in his/her inherent/initial weaker aspects – Reversal of Roles” RK seemed to be convinced and I believe in this, as long as it can be proved wrong (my aspect # 3).

To summarize, the souls who have experienced both natures – male/masculine and female/ feminine, tend to rise above the limitations of being a man or a woman and still achieve what the total personality (all 4 aspects included) believes in or are driven towards! These are complete, mature & wise ‘human’ souls!

And we want to address the eternal “man-woman” inequality…the hypocrisy of our civilization! Shouldn’t we know better?

Dimensions of Existence.

I know that I exist in -

3 dimensions of Space
1 dimension of Time.

What about the following?

5 Timebound Senses - Sight, Audio, Taste , Smell & Feel.
3 Timeless Senses - Mind, Heart & Soul.

"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed." Energy exists as matter and energy.

Matter can be defined by the 3 dimensions of space and it's nature is bound by Time.
Energy can be defined by the 5 Timebound senses and the 3 Timeless senses.

As a matter of 100 Kgs, I occupy Space and vary with Time. I also experience the 5 senses at the same time, while existing as matter and converting one form of sensual energy into another, over a span of time. My 3-D coordinates do not change but I am transforming the physical energies. Aren't these additional dimensions through which I am experiencing existence?

What are multiple dimensions? Aren't they ways of defining the current state of existence in as many simultaneous ways of consciousness as possible? If I am able to acknowledge my existence using any one of these senses, isn't it a dimension in itself? If this is true, then the 5 Timebound senses are additional dimensions to my existence.

3 Timeless Dimensions:

1. Mind: An entity with consciousness and unconsciousness. As long as it is conscious, it is time-bound and varies with time. If it is unconscious/subconscious, it is not bound by time (E.g., Meditation, Coma, Dream).

2. Heart: An entity which senses emotions in all its shades. All shades except Love are time-bound whereas Love is Timeless.

Validation: "I lose track of Time when I am in Meditation or in Love. Time stands Still!"

3. Soul: An entity which doesn't change with Time, but which experiences itself through various transformations of external energies through Time. The more I operate from the Soul's seat, the lesser I am Time-stamped!

[Trying to identify the 10 + 1 dimensions of the String Theory...a wanton exercise!]

The dogs of war!

Ignorance combined with the lower-emotions releases a demon into the minds of the masses which celebrates the dance of the primeval instincts fuelled by hatred & vengeance! Mob-mentality...deprived of common sense is so overwhelming that even the normal intelligent human starts participating in the festival of blood...pity that the majority of the masses exist at this level and await the triggering of events...

E.g. chinese rulers wiping out entire dynasties of the ruler of a lost kingdom, Nazis, colonial natives, slavery, the dark ages (burning the witches at stake)...WWs......etc

V hav come a long way frm utter barbarism to refined mercy killings...but the darkness still flickers within...waiting to be fuelled & unleashed...

The 'flicker' is extinguished by a few, living the higher emotions(compassion, mercy & love)...the only exit from 'Chaos Inc.'

So, tell me, hw many of these 'destructive few' can be moved up towards Compassion, Mercy & Love? Prob, u wudnt have the energy/patience to push anyone up, except one....urself!

Theory of Relative Friendship!

Prologue:

An atom is made up of a nucleus and protons. The nucleus is further surrounded by electrons which orbit the centre in a fixed orbit w.r.t. each other and do not cross each other's paths. Whenever the atom comes into the vicinity of a similar atom, it could steal/share the electrons of the neighboring atom. Now the orbits of these shared electrons are defined by the nuclei of both the atoms. Extrapolating this to several atoms with similar composition, a molecule and then a compound is formed, where the laws of gravitaiton prevail.

Inference:

The electrons are so positioned that they cannot drift away from the nucleus and neither can they crash into it until some external force is exerted on the atom, for the atomic structure to be stable. This reflects on the entire molecule, compound and then across the enitre element itself. "Universal Law of existence!"

Analogue:

A person has himself and his relatives. The person is further surrounded by friends who are within his/her reach and at certain distances and these friends are not interchangeable. Whenever the person comes into the vicinity of a similar person, they steal/share each other's friends. Now the distances are governed by the laws of friendship. Extending this fabric of friendship over various groups of people, a friend's circle(FC) or a mutual admiration society(MAS) is formed where the laws of attraction prevail.

Inference:

The friends are so positioned that far-away friends/ attractive strangers are brought into the satellite neighborhood(not into the home) of a person and similarly, close friends are also pushed out of the home of the person into the adjacent neighborhood so that a balance is maintained and the friendships sustain with suitable distances. This reflects on the entire FC or MAS where there is a force of similarity binding the fabric of society. "The law of Live & Let-live!"

Corollaries:

1. Social Network Algorithms are based exactly on this model. These networks are redefining and quantising the friendship quotient/structure. [U r not very far from friends, but u r not close to them either]

2. By this law, U cannot break the rules of networking by going away, even if u want to, and neither can u barge into a friend's privacy (for whatever reasons) at ur whim/fancy!

3. The friend could be on the 10th planet but he/she is as close as a scrap away, at any given time! Contrarlily, the friend cud be next door, but u need an appointment to meet him/her.

4. Bygone are the days of personal touch to a friendship, the in-things are the rules set by social networking.

5. V r writing and playing according to the rules of social networking, creating a real-time and buffered play-ground.

6. No one is a stranger anymore and nobody is personal anymore!

[Voila! There!!..I have tried to put in my pseudo-reality analysis here... OK, OK, I will not grill ur brains anymore... continue as u were.]

Theory of Bonding.

Considering completing half the journey, looking back and moving forth, there is this inherent wisdom which just makes Samay reassuringly relaxed...

Level 0: Among men & matter, the bonding is stronger with the similar kind. Further, within the type, there is a liking towards certain individuals, which is beyond reason. The same individuals are forgiven and embraced even if they are out to harm you. You admire and like the individuals all your life, no matter what! The contrary is also true...You would hate or despise someone who is good to you and like bitter medicine, you will try to avoid them throughout your lives!

Level -1: There exists a group bonding among your/my 'types' which are spread and defined over various Geographical, Cultural and Racial dimensions... only because the journey started from the same origins, same stereotypes and sharing of similar experiences through various eras. The lineage of the stereotype being known, the individual seems to be familiar and well-know even if you meet them for the first time or from afar. Lack of further updates keeps the propsects of any further interactions at bay.

Level +N: Akin to limited Gene Pool, the experiences have to be diverse for the journey to continue. "Familiarity is an obstacle in the path. Hence even if you meet a mirror-image of yourself, the journey departs from there towards the unexplored. Different lineages depending on degrees of variation merge along the journey to share the truth collectively, not necessarily experience it on one's own. Sub-species to Species to different species, differences in nature being the degree of separation of the mergers, the journey continues.

Level +1: Back from Sharing and developing intuition, one starts exploring the unknown types, to answer the curiosity at the next level. On the path, the 'intuition' helps to recognize familiar individuals from the unknown without spending any efforts.

Level -2: Unbonding! Strictly not to be exercised!

...the search is on...

Journeys!

Macro View: All journeys are alike ... although travelling through the same path everytime... we miss the common and retain the new experiences. The purpose to achieve is the reason to travel, not necessarily physical. The concentration is on the "Y"s here. Generally, not looking for "x"s.

Left to the self, there is nothing new about the journey.
Left to the journey itself, everything is new.

Micro View: But no journey is alike even if it is done for the same purpose and through the same path everytime. Every variable has changed, even the individual observations. The concentration is on the "x"s here. "Y" cannot be comprehended here in it's totality!

The next ? is to understand the reason of the journey. What gaps do these journeys bridge and where do they take me? Know that if you are stuck, you need to reset! Reset to be aware of the journey and the rest will unfold...
