DripplesDripples (drops n' ripples) attempts to invite a relook at our current definitions, at what we know and don't know, of our selves, at health and of life itself, and perhaps have a perspective that is new.

The opinions expressed here are the Author's attempts to word through MI (Meristem Intelligence®) thoughts on the nuances of healthcare and the world as we see it from and towards this context. {Like a drop of the Ocean talking about the Ocean}. Some of the material here encourages self-maintenance. Reader prudence and mindfulness recommended in exploring the suggestions. We are 'englishifying' hebronic/vedic/dravidian super-zipped logic in as understandable words as possible. Given how varied our IQs are and how much language has changed and keeps changing in meaning and scope within our communities over time, communicating MI message to all is a task in itself. Thank you for your patience meanwhile and your kind understanding.

I am a seed. I have come to find myself in this soil, in this geography, with whatever it has at this point in time on this place called Earth. The soil is not ideal. I know it used to be because the soil has the flavor of what used to be. Never mind. I have life; I'll find a way. I gotta. Now, how can I do that? Let me feel the soil around. I cannot see yet for I am in deep dirt, but I can feel. Looks like I gotta till this soil a bit before I can breathe well. Let me do that from both my ends, with my roots and shoots. Perhaps this is also what they meant by ‘burning the candle on both ends.’ Who says anything about burning out? Maybe it is burning whatever is not mine until I come to my lean mass! I am meristematic on both ends. I will feel my way through the soil until I find some rich growing material. My skin and the nature of touch I experience will tell me what is good and bad. Patience. Patience. More patience. It is there. Keep feeling. More patience. Wait, I am growing while I am seeking and searching! My roots and shoots are growing stronger! Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill was not for waste! Good for me. It will come handy later. Perseverance. I am growing. I am making it to the sunlight, that’s it. Perseverance. Keep on. Wait, there are others around? Ok they are doing their thing. I gotta do mine. Keep on. Heave ho! On. Breathe. In breath, out breath. Extend, contract and relax. Rinse and repeat. Stretch my limits. There are parasites around attempting to feed on anything that has life - me?! I gotta figure out and develop a thick hide and adjust acidity/alkalinity to suit my need. They don’t talk of survival of the fittest for nothing, right? I manage to be born into the light. (I did that!) I sit on my desk job. New soil. Rinse and repeat the above process? Umm..the soil is not the same as hitherto far experienced. Each day has a different date that has never been before. Different composition every day. But, I am a seed nevertheless and this is basically soil nevertheless for the best of me is in the making and the soil I am in is through where I grow and become. I am bigger and stronger from persevering to grow and learning to survive through the different soils I have found myself in hitherto far. I have that! Rinse and repeat it is. Now, what does this soil have? All kinds of living organisms. They even pose to be well-wishers and nourishers and bracket themselves into friends, families and enemies. I can rebracket them, of course. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They are all related to me by how I feel in my skin about them. My relationship with them changes when how I feel in my skin changes in being in contact with them during my everyday whatnots. Some claw at me, some feed off me, some nurture me, some protect. But, it is my journey through to my sunlight and I am my kind of seed. I remember that there are all kinds of seeds. Some seeds sprout with just a little water. Some needs a little burning before they are warm enough to sprout. Some sprout only after a rainfall. Some needs a forest fire followed by a rain to begin to sprout. Each seed is unique and hence the kind of seed I am needs my kind of seasoning/conditioning/nourishment. “One man’s food is another man’s poison” and all that. I become my kind of tree by maneuvering through the soil the way I need to move however the soil is, for this is the soil I am in. The river water just flows to the Ocean; rocks and plants and whatnots are ‘training material’ to be flowed around, over, or by for my destination is the Ocean. As is for the water, so it is for the seed that I am. As I till my soil better, I just as well as whosoever is in this soil gets to breathe better. I get to grow! I place a plant in a pot on my desktop to remind me of the fact that I am a force of Nature; I am a seed living this moment in time in this soil and sprout I will. I just need to figure out how to stretch and get to that rich nutrient nurturing source, and keep being nourished by it, that will get me to see the light that is best for my growth at this point in time for me to become the tree that I am meant to be. This plant on my desktop will keep my perspective in place. I need this reminder. I am a seed, and so are you. Our Logo whom we call MITI BayBe has taken close to a full 5 years in taking shape into the structure she has today, and is Trademarked as our representative Logo with the Government. We think our Logo is a she right now but we know the person of the Logo is a fine balance between masculine and feminine and a form that is unlimited by gender definitions because the person is a human being - a humane being - and represents our idea of what a humane being must look constitutionally/compositionally like ontologically. Here’s a few of the salient features for your kind appreciation; we are mighty pleased and awed by how she came to be our Logo. For starters, she looks like an exclamation mark with its point on top. A person becomes as a consequence of asking questions that he/she/they seeks answers to and hence the point at the bottom of a question mark is where a person lands once he/she/they move through the curves of a question mark. The landing point is then most likely a revelation, as in an ‘a-ha!’ and so is like to evoke an exclamation mark. But, a person cannot just be the point below an exclamation mark because he/she/they would have no ground, awed as the person may be from having had an ‘a-ha!’ moment, and also the ‘a-ha!’ happens in the head, so it is fair to think that the point of this whole journey of discovery since asking the question is likely to be a point on top of a geodecimal locator at a point in time, like a place marker or a location marker on a map! We are, each, afterall on a journey of discovering who we are and what we are doing in the schema of things..at least that’s the start of most journeys. (We are likely to keep finding ourselves at a place where we need an orientor or placemarker en route coz sacred geometry could take us through some interesting spaces where we really need a placemarker to know if we are coming or going sometimes, as we so delightfully often find in our Program, DharmaPada For SoulSatisfaction™️.) Our Logo looks like a person with a certain dignity of bearing but we wanted the person to look like a small i, seeing how most people have a difficulty being a small person - a nobody even - seeing how everybody wants to be a somebody somuchso that no body is home doing nobody’s Work of maintaining home and non-violence and harmony and humane kindness and all those nice things that anybody can do and everybody expects somebody to take care of while nobody ends up doing it. Look at the land dumps and oceans that need caring for and forests needing replenishing and mouths needing feeding. We even have had the Wuhan wet markets because people did not get sufficient to eat somuchso that they had to resort to wet markets, and the pandemic has at least some part of origins there? Nobodies..deficiency in ordinary normal human beings ..while everybody is busy trying to become extraordinary! Little i. Quite inspired .. maybe even ‘awakened’ into thinking about the little i in the iPhone since 2011 or so..way too many years before we even knew we would be having an Enterprise for which we would have to be searching for an appropriate Logo! Life does take some interesting turns while you are busy doing the right things! We found this WhatsApp forward quite matching our thoughts in a way right around this time. Serendipity and all that! Continuing on with the Salient Features of our MiTI BayBe!
The geodecimal locator {bottom half of the image} has 20 plumes; we think if she twirled around, the plumes would fan out into quite a dress. We think she stands en pointe like a ballerina of sorts! We think about from the level of hips until ribcage is the plane of being, like a pillar to post, for maintaining stature and poise. From ribcage to clavicle is 13 steps, the 14th being the invisible sound of being that arises from the valley between head and rest of the body. The steps represent the SriYantra in vertical stack, like if you click a photo from the sideview. On the topmost point is where the ‘head’ is placed - the point that holds the pot of wisdom and maintained upright so that commonsense stays inside the pot keeping the person and people around {and future generations} safe, sane, serendipitous and stacked appropriately/prudently in the schema of things. The point - the head - is a wonder of calculations in and of itself. It has 4 platitudes, 10 points between three of the platitudes and 11 between two of the platitudes for a total of 41 {langhanams that Nirbeeja Yoga®️ and DharmaPada For SoulSatisfaction™️ together will help de’asathya’fy in having a person become originally humanely intelligent - become a humane being. We are still discovering the many facets that this wonderful being who has come to be after so many circuses in figuring out how to do the right thing, and her image is what keeps this Author {me! Bitha Sadanandan} oriented to remember doing the right things coz the image formulated out of so many circus. We wanted the image to represent the Tree of Life and the dualities, which it does in oh so many ways we are just discovering has been intelligently put together. Nirbeeja Yoga®️ does zippy logic a lot of things such that intuition is a definition for integrating intelligence. Our Logo formed from etchings and iterations over several days/weeks? after pondering over iteratively developing, changing, morphing prior developments somuchso that we are awed by what our intelligence has come to put together as our Logo. But then, even our website domain name, Enterprise name, different Programs are also a produce of similar contemplations and documentations over time, and we are still discovering so many aspects of what we have put together, just like consciousness contemplating itself in figuring out who it is and what this is all about and having another ‘a-ha!’ moment. Our several Programs came up similarly and continues to amaze us, like kids do with the fact of their being them when allowed and appreciated to be them and as parents nurturing them in their well-being. It’s a good life and our Creations are our kids too, so may be we inspire people to do well by how we are raising our kids through our Enterprise? Talk about virtual reality! Sahanaa vavathu
Sahanau bhunakthu Sahaviiryam kara vaavahai Tejas vinau adhii tham astu Maa vidvishaa vahai Thanks to the English influence on India, my introduction to Sanskrit is through the English translation of the Upanishads in a concise format of some parts of it by Valerie J. Roebuck (Translation and Introduction to The Upanishads by Penguin Books). Pondering on my sketchy understanding of the kind teaching of her interpretation of the Upanishads, knowing very well that translations are interpretations and that 'truth has many versions but every version of the truth is a version of the truth,' I started putting the puzzle pieces together on what the Upanishads are trying to say even if in an English translation. Swami Vivekananda had recommended reading the Upanishads in one of his booklets as the backbone of Indian spirituality, so I went looking for a book that would make sense to me this ancient text written in a language I was not taught in school. Several back-and-forth slice and dice later, I thought I was getting Jack Sparrow'd with all the different bits of information as things started making sense to me corroborated by thought-vectors from several philosophical quarters but what I was finding as the meaning of the mantras is not how people seem to be making sense of them. I wondered if I was referring to the same language referred to as Sanskrit. I think my sanskritic logic is more Vedic than sanskritic. Nevertheless, it is fascinating. So, here goes my understanding of the mantra for learning. Sahanaa vavathu Tolerance (a lot of it) vaporises the subject matter {like water when vapourised has more spaces between molecules so one can see the components better} Sahanau bhunakthu Traveling on the boat/carrier {bridge formed between as stable ground} formed from tolerance makes {the subject content} effulgent {glowy from being seen in a light that contrasts it from other content so the matter is clearer} Sahaviiryam kara vaavahai Tolerance coupled with effort originates or causes a light to emerge {from the contemplation that shows the topic the way it needs to be seen} Tejas vinau adhii tham astu {Then} without the glowyness or shininess when contemplated {long enough on the now seen perspective, unhindered by hitherto thoughts about it} ripens the wit and strengthens Maa vidvishaa vahai {My} intelligence discerns poisonous or violated {deviated from implicate order} content and separates it {as rice from chaff so essence remains} Learning, as you can see, is an alchemical process where crude raw content gets digested in the stomach of the brain until intellect becomes intelligent. Howzzat? Nirbeeja Yoga's vishachikitsa and shuddhikaran happens along the lines of the understanding of this mantra. We use nothing to come to the essence of truth. Clearly, my method of learning has a role in the Founding of Nirbeeja Yoga®️🙂. Like said elsewhere about Nirbeeja Yoga, it is at least 1000+ step process by which to walk the path of peace and truth but a journey of a 1000 steps begins with the single step of registering for the Program, especially when there is no shortcut to any place worth going. Owing to the difference in the learning process involved with this method of yoga that is other than popular hatha yoga methodologies, the teaching is being developed through online Courses augmented by one-on-one discussions, unless of course a Student is committed enough to attend regular classes and follow the discipline required to learn the practice of this method of nonviolent living. Look at the Rose and be mindful of the thorns. The Rose rose from the thorns and knows how to be beautiful and mindful amidst the thorns so both can be and do their individual functions. Similarly, a Lotus emerged from the brackish waters standing on its own stalk supported by the surface tension of the water, pristine in its own light. Look how the contrast has both, the Lotus and the brackish waters, be. Is the Rose or Lotus beautiful because of themselves or both because of and inspite of them?
The Rose may be an analogy for mindful living in the drylands or the West ontological cosmology and the Lotus may be an analogy for mindful living in the wetlands or the East ontological cosmology. Now the Reader must say which is East and which West; maybe they are directions in our intellectuoscape or psychoscape? This post is a part of MyStory Project and The Humane Body Project for Connect.™️. The idea is #humanityacrossboundaries where even the boundaries within ourselves for what is right/wrong, good/bad, acceptable/unacceptable shapes our light and dark selves. These, in turn, separates selfish and selfless into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ judgements closing our hearts to ourselves and to those of others beyond commonsense into violence of each due to prejudice to what is truth. I found the following words on Google {morning of 4-June-2021} about 2-4 days after I posted the following text. My mind took that much time to ponder over the mythological story of Vrinda, Jalandhara and Vishnu and the story of how the Saligram came to be! Turns out Vrinda, Vrindava and Radha are connected to Krishna. Krishna and Shiva are both darkblue-bodied people. Again, Vedic cosmology seems to be human evolution as discerned by humans at a time when there was no internet to communicate cosmological scientific inquiry so that there is sameness of understanding. It may not have been the best given how diverse our religious perspectives have turned out to be somuchso that science and religion do not see eye to eye. I happen to be the privileged one crazy enough to inquire into this, that and everything and then choose nothing to live life by! These Peacock feathers came into my life at a time when I was lost to my relationship with space and time, disillusioned by relationships. I may have lost my soul-song, so to speak. Musicians call it 'bairag.' I was searching, wandering about in public places in search of answers in nooks and corners to existential questions while holding onto my Work as a medical transcriptionist like a lifeline since that was the only thing that made sense, knew how to do, some semblance of why to do and what my role was in the schema of things at that point in time while nothing else made sense. I worked as a Sr.QA in a medical transcription firm. An existential crisis and then identity crisis came much later as things began to make sense, and then I began figuring out and putting pieces together to have a life that works amicably for me and others without rocking the boat. I then began liking the benefit of ordering life from chaos and chaos as life, so when the tide went lull, I started stirring my cup of life to keep things fresh. There has never been a dull moment in my life since; I, then, had to figure what to have more - chaos or order {I chose both in a fine blend of 60% order and 40% chaos} - and how to keep having the fine balance such that Order and Chaos are both happy for what yogis would call sthirasukhasana. Needless to say my experience also informs the Course that is DharmaPada For SoulSatisfaction™️.
The Peacock features - I bought a bunch of them, 6 of them, I think. This is during the lost and disoriented space that I call 'my Holocaust in Life.' I kept 2 of them feathers in my room - one seemed lonely - and gave the rest to my parents' puja room decoration downstairs, or so I thought. They stared back at me every time I moved downstairs or in my room reminding me of something, I did not know what; life maybe. I was hypervigilant to everything, I think, particularly people. I was watching from inside the goings on and the treatments metted out to me as a person, a human, a female, as all those identities singly and together makes me me. I was their problem. I know how an object feels when dealt with as something for practical purposes and when the object is treated like a subject. Talk about a crash-course in spirituality by a system conditioned to experimentation, violence and animalistic behaviour. I know what subhuman means from an evolutionary perspective and 'becoming human' to me is not a new-age spiritual mumbo-jumbo. I, certainly, understand what the particles at CERN must be feeling like, or so I think; I am of the human race as is too, you see? Violence is cultured legally and illegally inside our domestic homes and circles, which is from where icons and 'anti-social' elements become outstanding performers, like symptoms of a disease. I did not know the significance of things back then, I think. Survival was more a concern; I had a job but nothing else about my life made sense or what I am to do with me and my life, why am I to be other than the role I played in my job. I liked the features; the changing trans-inducing myriad colours with the stable calm constant 'eyes' something to hold onto whenever I looked at them, and I looked at them alright coz they were quite beautifully contrasting against Victorian-white walls of my room that reflected whatever colour bounced off it. I did not know it then but it helped heal my senses quite confused between what people were saying, what they were doing, what their body language was saying and my perceptions peaked with a QA-advantage was saying which was all quite traumatising for me at the time, I did not know. I was too busy figuring out how to get my life back together coz everyone else seemed to have! {like I missed some important class that had lessons that everyone else was privy to and hence was left out to catch up on!}. I am writing this post so I survived well enough for it to be a good happily ever after kind of hairy fairly tale story which I will reveal in nibbles over time, so this is a good story, dear Readers. Like I said earlier, I found a way to keep my cup of life stirred and fresh and beautifulizing {I dont know if this is what those ancient people called the Holy Grail/Fountain of Youth/Golden Fleece and all those fantastic names but if it is, they are going to be so pissed that it is not an object or thing they can hold and do things with. Let's call it 'God;' the idea of 'God' is confusingly complex and amorphous as it is somuchso that people are fighting over a soft-idea that is meant to be bigger than themselves or everything and is meant to be a protector, preserver, life-caretaker but with divided perspectives as God-fearing and God-loving people fighting over who is right!}(I like my idea of Life, sounds so much like a better version of the idea of 'God;' I'd like to think of it as 'God-evolved' version coz I am not satisfied with whatever ideas people have out there of this good nice concept called 'God,' especially due to all the gory details 😡). Lovely to have ranted it out; another of my pet peeves. Dont worry, dear Reader, if this writeup seems like a many-turn journey. It is all like a Russian doll or telescope; all related, only needs to be examined in specific unique spaces in due states of mind. So is also the case in any classic legendary movie or book; every time you watch or read it, you find another layer, another version of story somuchso that you wonder if it is the same story you are watching or reading. The sands of the human mind sifts and morphs in accordance with the waves that moves through its contours at a point in time forming new landscapes, you see? Mine is a believe-it-or-not lifestory so it is gonna take some time getting your head around it. Why am I sharing my life story snippets here? It is related to the feathers {picture above} and to my idea of Advaitha through what pranic healers may be calling as twin-hearts only I find my idea of twin-hearts is like the 'ardhanareeshwar' or the trinity or what an Indian husband would call his 'ardhangi.' Without this kind of Advaitha, heaven remains up and hell down and we humans remain in lockdowns in between waiting for a saviour. Hebrew has a letter to conceptualise this idea - Vav - up down, left right, front back to hold the in and out of a person in commonsense. Laila-Majnu are amongst a few of the Romeo-Juliet kind of love birds stories in Asia-Pacific folklore. They say they were so in tune with each other that when Majnu was hurt Laila would hurt even if she was not anywhere in the vicinity of Majnu's happenstance. I thought, waah?! {I am a wonderer, you see? When I encounter a new idea, I wonder and then ponder, and then take it apart until threadbare and then put it together in a way that makes sense to my questioning mind on how it works together in comparison to the idea as is presented out there. Yogic people may call this 'contemplation;' I call it figuring out. Coupled with the right questions, it is good for developing scientific temperament}. It is not until much later, in fact in the past year since the lockdown began that I began practicing Nirbeeja Yoga®️ more earnestly seeing how any of my Work thus far would have value only when shared with people such that they get the benefit similar to what I see possible through this Work. The twin-heart syndrome began to make sense, but not in a way that the 'twin-heart meditation' is done or its benefits talked about. Lots of love songs, ballads actually, talk about this Laila-Majnu phenomenon. Some of the regional Indian music talks about it, for example 'Jeevamshamay thaane nee yennil,' 'en Mel vizhunda mazaithuliye,' 'ninnade olavinalli novalli nalivinalli.' Sanatana dharma speaks of it too, for example in the story of how Parvathi found Shiva or how Savithri worked with Dharmaraaja {God of Death} to elongate Sathyavaan's life and have her social fabric of life be repaired, but I guess no one really reads them. We tend to read our ancient texts and mythology literally, instead of reading them as symbols and representatives of cosmic phenomenon {like read, lifecycle of a star/galaxy/universe/cosmos} by which to live a good life. I mean people may be chanting off of them, performing rituals, keeping the books on pedestals and the like and even teaching their children 'worthy of such education' about them but, like most 'educated people,' most dont know what they learned in school because the basics are often forgotten to be revisited. True education is really iteration of the basics unto advancement, which is when something is learned, else the logic is not gotten and memory palaces do not form. Without it, schizophrenic constructs {fragmented incomplete understanding of a concept or field of study comes about and we have artificial intelligence that does not last the test of time and/or creates entropy and/or violence rather than original intelligence - the ability to create something original that is consistent with and sustainable by organic humane Implicate Order} and/or roteing becomes necessary because of which the roads need to be relaid every few times or we make things that do not last the test of time. It is like a house; a house is, essentially, the foundation in elevation mode. The number of floors buildable is consistent with how strong the foundation is, so in essence the house is the foundation basically within which life gets shaped in accordance with how well the basics is maintained. Without such integrative/yogic developmental learning, people do not know how to read or understand but mostly what to do with the education they received and so remain 'uneducated'! {My pet peeve that I find so much in vogue, sociologist could have a career in healthcare from it!}{Also, my sentences go in conjunction-relay of ideas into loong sentence when I am impassioned by an idea, which seems to be a lot of the time it seems, but I did it again here. Cant say 'oops' coz there is so much steam that a pressure cooker can hold, especially when some things are better said than not! Like shoonya may say, 'I haven't started yet and dont get me started as well as I am not going to stop now that I have started!' as the irresistible force and immovable object holding each other in dynamicstillnesses. Shoonya or Nothing is where I live my life from as my Homebase, you see? Some people call them dervish or 'black holes' in the societal stellar constellation. In my estimate, it is when a person has the ability to live attached to nothing while being in the middle of everything that in-dividuation really comes about. It all depends on the degree of individuation and the degree of nonviolence as harmony within, you see? That is what Vedic mathematics and gematria, sacred geometrical development is all about. Check out Nirbeeja Yoga®️; the whole methodology is to enable living from Nothing as homebase🙂}. The feathers - they are always together, like my eyes; I have a pair of them but extra ocular muscles move them differently when my right and left sides of the brain are processing different things simultaneously or separately, kinda like the yin and yang in active physics mode. How are the feathers connected to Laila-Majnu and all the romantic songs? They call it the 'twin-hearts.' We are never alone, even in our bodies. We have voluntary and involuntary processes in our physiology that keeps us functioning the way they do and managing with how things are by our body as the hub of the wheel {read, 'charkha'}, the life we live is spun into existence by threads of love to form the fabric of time and space. Love is like the gossamer threads that holds things together; even hate is a form of love, as in love gone sour, but it is love nevertheless {just change the decay and love gets restored as relationship-manager for healthification as long as there is care enough to watch for signs of decay. Samudra Manthan is basically churning the ocean of care {where milk is the care in the blood, like mothers can secrete milk only when nurturing a young one} such that life is maintained sustainably. The point I am attempting to make through this post is this: When we are in sync with how our body is, in agreement with the pace and rhythms and anatomy and physiology of how OUR PERSONAL BODY is, a fine balance between yin and yang {read chaos and order..or irresistible force and immovable object that the masculine and feminine aspects of not just our individual body but also a family unit needs to be} comes about so that balance between being and doing in a do-be-do-be-do-be-do-be-do format maintains the dynamism that is Life such that hadthal or strikes or lockdowns in the normal flow of life does not impede what the system is there for to begin with {which is to Work while having fun, for the unenlightened yet}! There is a fine marriage between polarities happening within the framework of our individual bodies. When this internal marriage is maintained well, social health is maintained well. Personal fertile nonviolent immunity against violation of harmony is what it means to be a civilian soldier - a citizen {of a Country called Earth}. When a person lives in sync with the breath of life as the fabric of life {read Meristem Intelligence®️}, a person is in Terabithiya where original intelligence resides. A person is the smallest unit of a society, you see? We are all part of one EarthFamily, EarthHouse. We have just this one house, one life, one body that we are sure to have where all else is mere conjecture. Disclaimer 🏳️: I am not responsible for any disruption in the social order or in marriages from reading this post; I did not create the mismanagement because of which people go to school but do not ponder over what they studied to begin with. I am only speaking things from developing a habit of 'check the basics when things go out of whack and work on fixing the problem than calling it quits' and also 'do the right thing even if it takes forever finding the solution' attitude. A 'care enough' attitude is balm for just about any inflammation in the personal and societal body for solving any disturbance; nonviolence is the best ointment. A little care goes a long loong way in making the world a better place to live in, no matter what the prevalent conditions. Try it. I find it always works.🏳️ The Logo was created on an Apple iPad mini. The Font felt right and did not bother much about it, being more concerned with getting the Image right. The formed Logo was then sent out in request for Registration. Then, the Font stuck out as unusual as the website is being updated and formatted. Turns out, the Font has a history of its own making. It is a wonder how the path appears as you walk doing the right thing on your own path of personal dharma. Read on to know of the amazing history of the Font designed to go unnoticed.
Praharas are measures of time as per a traditional system in the Indian subcontinent.
A day is divided into 8 parts: four Praharas for day and four Praharas for night, the day and night demarcated at sunrise and sunset. Traditional system of Praharas overlaps with the traditional system of muhurthas, which is based on precise astronomical calculations. Thus a day can be regarded as divided into 8 Praharas (of 3 hours each) or thirty muhurthas (of 48 minutes each). In both systems, the day commences at sunrise. The timing of the two systems coincides only at sunrise and sunset (4 Praharas coincide with fifteen muhurthas at the 12-hour, or 720-minute point). Pandit VN Bhatkhanda who formulated the modern system of Indian musical thaat states that the correct time (Prahara) to play a raga has a relation to its thaat or scale. Seen from the perspective of Meristem Intelligence®, geodecimal degree locality {hyperlocality or living-in-the-present-moment} is only possible when circadian rhythms that respond to geodecimal degree environmental physiology {geoDDphysiology or Earth’s physiology at a point on Earth versus geophysiology} demands that for music to be therapeutic {where speech also may be regarded as lyrics of a song of ‘unknown’ beat, where ‘unknown’ is the manodharma/personaldharma of a person in accordance with who they are, which stage of development they are and where they are headed in life, (calculable by D4S progress chart) and affected by geoDDphysiology}, it needs to be sung at a scale consistent with the Prahara and muhurtha failing which you have additional masalas in your experience of living at that moment in time of the day that correspondingly affects the developmental curve of the listeners. The developmental curve is affected by degree of violence in the environment and which correspondingly affects the degree of commonsense/happiness/nonviolence maintainable by the collective of a geoDDphysiology. On a larger scale, different geographical locations on Earth needs to have different time zones because we set our day’s activities {the music or story of our lives} based on the time that the clock shows. If Administrators do not pay sufficient attention to this important detail, several generations of people, both contemporary and future generations of produces both animate and inanimate are affected, and consequently evolution of our story {history/his-story/her-story} gets affected and periodic lockdowns such as the one mediated by corona must be experienced at regular intervals to remedy the situation. Needless to say, this is a strain on everyday living as well as the economy. Rupee value cannot be expected to go up when the makers of products are inconvenienced because happy, peaceful, nonviolent citizens increase productivity whereby lockdown in human industries may be uplifted. Music does have the capacity to bring normalcy to an aching history wanting some care. We live in a world powered by electricity. Electricity is basically electrons moving through tubes or conductors so that these tiny charged particles activate other sedate particles and their reaction causes things to happen. So, basically, we are living, breathing, working with charged particles whose existence is charged and operates by 'causing' reaction. When we are sitting surroynded by electronic gadgets, all of them working by being reactivated, we are just a reaction next in line, much like passive smoking. The electron-activated gadgets, when switched on, start a domino effect that ripples reactivism into the environment through the corresponding electromagnetic ripple effect exuded by moving particles that are these tiny charge packets that are electrons. So, here we are attempting to meditate and get all focused and Buddha-like and we turn on these tiny reactivators, and we get a good dose of an opportunity for resistance training {it takes some resistance to hold focus and maintain immobility in the face of 'I am made to move things' that are electrons. How else would you develop good meditation muscles than in the presence of some challenge? Afterall, a hero is born only when there are challenges that require a hero to be a hero for and thereby emerge victorious over, ay? By the way, meditation develops neutronic states (neutrons have mass but no charge, and the clue is in the name 'neutron' in that it is close to the word 'neuron' so calm the neurons and neutronic states are more achievable. Protons are just charged positive particles; ever encountered these fanatic religious people? They are very positive and charged and reactivate, just in a gust of positive energy not unlike that by negative energy that is the negatively charged electrons, only the opposite effect, but taken-off-center we certainly are. Try calming neurons and meditation. It works. Best recommend Nirbeeja Yoga. It is all neutronic and nerve (neuron) calming because it works with the breath of nerves.)
{Will edit this further and detail with images and the like but this writeup is available to read for now. Thank you for your patience and understanding.} We have seen the Matrix series. Several people, similarly across time and space, have attempted to represent a structure of Reality or 'how Reality works' in their own way through various media. No matter how the purview, life works; "life finds a way" as famously quoted in the movie, Jurassic Park I. This blog is my attempt to present a worldview as discerned as the basis for Meristem Intelligence on how the System of which we are all part of - affected and effected - is influenced and influences us and our experiences of living. Understanding the System would help live in the System, without which survival is the only option. Better be informed, for ignorance is not bliss; it is, at the least, painful and traumatizing and at best blinding for it keeps the best part of being alive in the hidden/dark/shadows. 'Waking up' involves waking up to what is not hitherto far seen/known/thought of and living life from this new space of understanding and/or knowing that which was hitherto far unknown. Mindfulness certainly is an active verb.
It is essentially a good world, this Universe. Very economical and super-efficient. Only that which wants to make things better is born for another opportunity to make things/something better, or is not born at all. (A lot of the bad things we see around are by people who have somehow forgotten their essential nature of goodness, and only need reminders long enough until they remember, for they were born as babies too, and babies are innocent and in the reflection of all that is good and pure and 'new' that may have gotten subjected to not-so-good things and became bad in reaction or retaliation). Keeps going in circles until a 'better' is discerned. So, the world is basically a 'good-sustaining system' and sustains best that which stands the test of time, so timeless values if imbued in what is created and/or existing has a far greater chance of continuing to subsist. That which is destructive, and if the whole system ('human beings' is a system because we are all like parts of one body called 'mankind.') is not able to turn the tide from being destrudinous/destructive/abusive to libidinous/constructive/bettering, then the system is moving towards a natural death. It is just like an anatomical body. If a part of the body has cancer and that is not controlled and healthified, it destroys the whole body. Vedas have a word for this phenomenon; it is called 'Manuvantara' - one cycle of Manu or man. In terms of Meristem Intelligence, Manuvantara is one chance by Nature to correct the ways/algorithm so that it (the system of human beings') can be subsistible by the Whole. 'Human beings' have potential and thats why there is Manuvantara. If we correct our ways before destrudo gets the upper hand than libido, then 'pralay' or the 'cleansing wave' does not happen and Natural balance is restored, and whats more? 'Human beings' would have won the stamp of approval by Nature to be a species well worth investing in. ({There are references in history books to this phenomenon called Manuvantara. The Bible talks of Noah and his Ark to tide by the then 'pralay' so that Noah became a version of Manu (or seed that started a fresh crop, so to speak) maybe in the West. There is also reference to Manu - a man who survived the 'pralay' and remembered the learnings he had from that now-washed-away civilization and that thats how we have vedic scriptures today. Manu was perhaps to the East what Noah was to the West (this is my postulate) A lot of people of the Christian and Islamic faith are awaiting/in-dread of 'Judgement Day' or some reference to 'the end is near.' This theory also gives credence to the discovery of old bones dating farther back in time than when apparently man was first said to have been evolved into existence. Clearly, this invites verification but would you take a chance meanwhile at mass extermination or would you meanwhile invest in correcting what is wrong, repair the fabric of time and space, and make things better for yourself and life around you in whatsoever manner possible?} Please take heed to this appeal. Meristem Intelligence® is at Work facilitating and finding better ways to live life in sync with the Universe and All That There Is. As I practice Nirbeeja Yoga™, I often get hints that I am to continue what I do and to keep on with furthering my inquiry, and to share if deemed important to do so responsibly. The solution? Keep doing the right things - things that heal, really heal old wounds for yourself or that of another, not as a force or 'heal as fast as possible' but that as 'every little effort at correcting that which is other-than-peaceful-and-harmonizing' into gentle,kind,mindful,peaceful,harmonious ways of being and interacting. Every effort counts (little drops of water/rightful (not righteous) conduct makes/heals a mighty ocean). Inculcate timeless values of truthfulness, gentleness, kindness, nonviolence (no matter what to find a way that does not involve violence in any sense of the word), develop a nurturing attitude, than a controlling one. {Purviewing everyone as basically children in different stages of development helps a big deal in developing this nurturing attitude, including oneself because some of the worst forms of violence may be found in how we treat ourselves. The kind of diseases we have or a person has is clue to the degree of violence a person is subjected to, by themselves or by somebody else.} Enough for now. Will keep writing on this later. Please keep watch over this blog. Tnx. |
