There is still hope for our world

Technology can have great influence on people's thinking and behaviour and can easily uplift society. However it has to be properly thought out so that it has positive influence. Ideally technology should help people in gaining self control than trying to control them. The focus of technology is very important and spiritual energy based technology is ideal for this purpose.
 
Whatever be the route to make society better the strong vested interests are bound to offer very stiff resistance. How do we overcome that is as difficult or even more difficult than building the technology.
 
If the events in the past six months especially are any indication my mind has passed the tests of being above corruption, intimidation, temptation or control of any sort. I am sure things will only get better and more robust. Very curious about how things are going to exactly unfold in the future.

One is supposed not make ones own judgment. Others especially who are more advanced in the spiritual field will know how one is making the progress

Mohanji it is none of my business, but Sravna is unique.
Having known him for over a decade, I can tell you that he (thinks) NO one is more qualified.🤣🤣🤣
 
Shri Mohan and Prasad. Not a judgement but fact. The energy is truly at Himalayan level ready to squash any attempt at temptation, pressure or corruption. Of course you have every right to not give credence to my statement.

Sorry, I did not mean any disrespect to you. It was my attempt at humor. I apologize.
I am not a professional in this field (or any other field either). But came across this article.

Narcissism has also been called the god complex. As a joke, I often tell my audience that someone suffers from the god complex when he wakes up and says, “OK God, you can go back and rest, I am awake now.”

A god complex is an unshakable belief characterized by consistently inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege, or infallibility. Such a person will usually refuse to admit and may even deny the possibility of their error or failure, even in the face of complex or evident problems or impossible tasks. Most of the time, they regard their personal opinions as unquestionably correct, rejecting even the brightest advice.

Actually, one can sense his own state of alignment.
One can sense when one is well aligned and when the alignment goes off the scale.
But usually one remains silent about it because by being vocal about it one loses the alignment.

The Purana story of the Vedas slipping away from the mouth of Brahma when He was asleep and an asura heard it denotes that when we are in mode of " sleep" to reality, we are not aware that " knowledge/ knowing" slips away from us and we lose the hard to acquire state of balance that we are experiencing.

I am not planning to judge anyone here but its still best to seek the silence within to experience the state of Being.

Sravna, usually nothing squashes anything.
You just glide from one phase to another..like the saying
" once you go black you dont turn back"...its like that..
Once you move out of the mansions of corruption, temptation, pressure etc..you just dont turn back.

If one feels that the energy is ready to squash anything negative, then its still very much of the state of an internal Mahabharat..a battle of the senses..you would need a Krishna...so surrender!
Quit fighting with yourself.

If I am supposed to be silent, why am I on this site?
I am here to show my ignorance and learn from others.

When I meant silence, i meant that one who is seeking usually doesnt talk about his experience.
But he is free to chit chat as usual about anything else.

Prasad and Renuka thank you both for the feedback. No I am not a narcissistic. My ego is almost nil. I believe projection of self is necessary sometimes. The important thing is you need to have that inner balance. My spiritual accomplishments though not in a way I can show evidence are indeed real. But the world will know soon.

Renuka,

I am trying to practice spirituality of different brand. Normally those who have achieved a very high state of spiritual development do not talk about it. But my case is different. I want to patently use the powers as a means to fight the wrong or the unjust. I may tone down talking soon but the desire and motivation to bring about positive change will not subside.

My objectives are clear. I just do not want to stop at saying corruption is wrong. I want to ensure corruption does not happen. So my approach should make me aghast on seeing corruption. I believe this is spirituality at work.

Ok..get it...Terminator and Parashurama all in one.

It is better to have spiritual guide who will be able to direct in the right direction and who will be able to understand the stage of sadaga. Normally the aim is for the ultimate goal of self realisation and at that stage one will be see things in the different way or in true since. At that stage one experience the inner calm and the true understanding.

Here is an interesting article that may help people without worrying about dogmas:

Buddhist teacher offers five simple steps to quiet your mind and

soothe your stress any time of year.​

Haemin Sunim© Seyhen Jo.

By Tara Parker-Pope Dec. 10, 2019

The Buddhist monk Haemin Sunim remembers the moment he discovered the power of self-care. He was a frustrated graduate student when a trusted friend told him the solution was to “be good to yourself first — then to others.”

“I had never once thought properly of caring for myself or loving myself,” he writes in his latest book, “Love for Imperfect Things,” which is to come out in paperback in February. “We consider it good to be good to others, but don’t forget that you have a responsibility to be good to yourself first.”

Haemin Sunim (Sunim is the term used to address a Buddhist monk in Korea) has taught Buddhism at Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., and continues to espouse the power of self-care through Buddhist teachings. He has amassed more than one million followers on Twitter and become an international best-selling author who guides his readers on managing stress and overcoming the challenges of everyday life.

The obvious forms of self-care are exercising, eating well and getting enough sleep. But self-care also means taking time for yourself to manage stress and practicing self-compassion, along with mindfulness and meditation techniques.

Most of us already know that self-care is good for us. Research shows that people who practice self-care have better quality of life, are admitted less frequently to a hospital, and live longer than those who report poor self-care.

While self-care is a simple concept, it can be remarkably difficult to enact. It may feel selfish or too time-consuming to focus on your own needs, and many of us don’t know where or how to start. Haemin Sunim suggests a simple five-step plan to give yourself the gift of self-care this holiday season.
Breathe
Start by just taking a deep breath. Become mindful of your breathing. You’ll notice that when you begin, your breathing is shorter and more shallow, but as you continue, your breathing becomes deeper. Take just a few minutes each day to focus on your breathing. “As my breathing becomes much deeper and I’m paying attention to it, I feel much more centered and calm,” Haemin Sunim said. “I feel I can manage whatever is happening right now.”
Accept
Acceptance — of ourselves, our feelings and of life’s imperfections — is a common theme in “Love for Imperfect Things.” The path to self-care starts with acceptance, especially of our struggles. “If we accept the struggling self, our state of mind will soon undergo a change,” Haemin Sunim writes. “When we regard our difficult emotions as a problem and try to overcome them, we only struggle more. In contrast, when we accept them, strangely enough our mind stops struggling and suddenly grows quiet. Rather than trying to change or control difficult emotions from the inside, allow them to be there, and your mind will rest.”
Write
Begin to practice acceptance through a simple writing exercise. Write down the situation you must accept and all that you are feeling. Write down the things in your life that are weighing on you, and the things you need to do. “Rather than trying to carry those heavy burdens in your heart or your head, you see clearly on paper what it is you need to do,” Haemin Sunim said. Whether the issue is work, family demands or holiday stress, the goal is to leave it all on the paper. Now go to bed and when you wake up, choose the easiest task on the list to complete. “In the morning, rather than resisting, I will simply do the easiest thing I can do from the list,” Haemin Sunim said. “Once I finish the easiest task, it’s much easier to work on the second.”


Talk
Never underestimate the value of meaningful conversation for your well-being. Make time on a regular basis for a close, nonjudgmental friend. “If you feel frustrated or angry, look for a close friend and buy them coffee or lunch or dinner,” Haemin Sunim said. “Choose someone who will listen without any kind of judgment.” Talking through your feelings will give you insights into your own needs. “You already know the answer,” Haemin Sunim said. “It’s just that you haven’t had the opportunity to clearly relive the story. Once the story is released, you can see it more objectively, and you will know what it is you need to do.”
Walk
One of the easiest ways to care for yourself is to take a walk. Just walking, Haemin Sunim said, can distract your mind and create space between you and whatever is causing stress in your life. “Walking can be an incredible resource for healing,” Haemin Sunim said. “When you sit around thinking about upsetting things, it will not help you. If you start walking, our physical energy changes and rather than dwelling on that story, you can pay attention to nature — a tree trunk, a rock. You begin to see things more objectively, and oftentimes that stress within your body will be released simply by walking.”

Haemin Sunim said he wrote his first book, “The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down,” after teaching students at Hampshire College and answering their questions about managing the stress in their lives. He said his ultimate goal in writing “Love for Imperfect Things” was to guide readers to a path of self-care and acceptance.

“The main point is how to accept yourself when you are living in a world striving for perfection all the time,” he said. “Even if you feel there are many things in your life that are imperfect, if you look at them in a compassionate way, you discover that imperfection, in and of itself, is beautiful and has meaning.”

Everyone is talking of energy crisis and ways to generate enough energy for the future. Yes the physical sources are finite. One needs to be extremely creative if one wants to sustain on physical sources. But what about mental and spiritual energy? Aren't they inexhaustible? As long as there are humans the energy will exist.

According to our scriptures physical energy is projection from mental and spiritual energy. So theoretically it is possible to create physical energy from mental and spiritual energy by what I call as projection technology. That is simulating projection done by nature.

What is projection? It is obtaining a lower level disconnected energy such as physical energy from a higher level more connected mental or spiritual energy.

Actually we are not disconnecting but hiding or veiling the connetedness. Can we do it? I think it is possible. Ideas on this welcome.
 
Projection technology would catapult the nature of technology to real big league technology. I think it will go very far in helping us understand nature.
