The Word - The facts!

Hello all,

Namaste! All of you, my dear blog readers, know about my website-swaroopa.net. I have started my business, Swaroopa store, which can be accessed from Shop tab on my website, for beings who are interested in a personal reading. There is also the Swaroopa Store link, on my blog's left side. Now to the post.

We have been discussing the series, 'The word' and how it has the power to manifest as our reality. Humans have not even understood the way "Word" manifests in our life. This unawareness of the word as well as the mind makes and keeps humans prisoners of the word within themselves. A person who realizes this truth would be deeply aware of what they say to themselves and how they use their words to others. 

Let us, elaborate on this concept once more. Think about it. Any action, before we have to take, we have to intend it from the mind. Suppose, we have to go to the bank. First the thought process, "I need to go to the bank". Then, the intention. Okay, today is not the weekend, so bank should be open. We have to wash our face, get dressed and then, make an effort to go by scooter, car or bus. But even before we try to wash our face, we have to first think and make that intention.

So, if we understand, any physical reality first has to come within our mind as thoughts. Then, when we accept that thought it becomes our mental reality. Only after it becomes our mental reality, we would even intend to take actions. People deeply understand their own physical reality very well. But what about the mental reality? Let us give it a stab.

Mental reality: On January sixth, the US saw one of the horrors of US history unfolding-the Capitol Insurrection. Think about the mob, who had breached the sanctity of the Capitol building? Before they ever stepped their foot into that building, much before that the mental reality had evolved. May be even years before. Most probably somewhere in 2013 or 2014, they would have started listening to the previous President's (Donald J. Trump) speeches. Many of them could have had grievances of losing jobs, missing opportunities or lagging pays. We don't know what it could have been. But some worry or sadness they could have had. May be rising costs of medical treatments, higher costs for groceries or had to pay more for other amenities. So, as a person they are worried and emotionally in a vulnerable state.

Here comes a leader who is saying he can fix the problems, and take care of many grievances they have. They listen. Deeply listen. But remember, this is the emotional mind, which is suffering as of now due to the worry or low opportunities. This mind becomes deeply plugged into the speeches. Here is the concept. Any time, a human asks or intends deeply from their emotional mind, that is a request to the Universal mind to help. It doesn't matter, whether it is about a good thing or a bad thing. The only rule, ask it with deepest of emotions.

Now, what happens? The followers are deeply listening to the speech with emotions. Emotionally plugged in. Another truth, as the emotions have been very deeply plugged in and any time the person is fully charged with energy, the logical mind takes a break. This is the concept, which has kept humans safe for millennia. It is called fight or flight. Think, a cave man who has come face to face with a tiger or lion cannot sit and think, what to do. Logical mind. The tiger would eat them. Instead, they would have to either take the weapon, fight, kill the tiger or they have to run for their dear life-flight. So, as this is the realm of the lower emotional mind, the higher logical mind takes a break.

Think about the Capitol insurrectionists. They are listening to the speeches and are deeply plugged into how the "leader" is going to help them, the churning emotions are bringing the fight or flight situation from a brain or mental point of view. The logical mind is out. Most probably nobody even spends the time to understand what are the intentions of the leader, are they truly on the follower's side or not. All these are the duty of the logical mind, which is absconding.

So, nobody checks on the history, past of the person and what their intentions are. Anything that is not fully revealed is a decision taken from ignorance. If each of the person had analyzed with first the emotions and then the logical mind, that becomes the best decision. Here, I am not trying to judge. I am showcasing how, if a leader can deeply relate to the followers through emotions and if the person doesn't have good intentions, the followers are being led by deceit and cheating. People can bring any number of justifications. But the truth is, they are not fully made aware of all the truths that could have given them better decisions.

Tough reality: Think, many of the insurrectionists are going to the prison for a long time, even for decades. But why did they go to the Capitol building in the first place? It was in the faith that the leader who asked them to do the insurrection would be there to help them. But it was a known fact that the election never went in the name of Donald Trump. Around seventy cases were made against several counties and election districts. From every district and the court, the answer was the same- Joseph R. Biden is the winner. How can 70+ court cases and innumerable election officials be wrong?

Here, again, we can see how the emotional mind is playing the person. The emotional mind is the huge mind that is capable of moving mountains. It can take up major tasks, like dedication towards a goal, persistence towards an objective or a mountainous task. But which mountain to move and which mountain would add value to a person's life, that the logical mind decides. We have to think, are the insurrectionists truly deriving value by doing the insurrection? Instead of enjoying seeing their kids growing up, many are going to spend decades in prison. Is that value for a human? Is that value for that human life, think! They went and did the insurrection in the belief they are truly taking part in something that would provide them a better life. But hoaxes are not facts or truths.

Fake news is propaganda and ulterior agenda

The person and whose cronies prodded them to go for insurrection is still going to sit by the pool side or going to spend afternoons at golf courses. The new administration is going to send stimulus checks. Are many of the insurrectionists going to receive those checks? No. They are going to be in the prison staring at white or grey walls. No, the deceit is not done yet. As all of us know, there is a pandemic. Scientists who are doing the tests and developing the vaccines are saying, wearing masks, socially distancing, washing hands and taking the vaccine would protect them.

But if people don't do any of these, burn masks, don't take vaccine and say it is encroaching on their freedom, how would they survive the pandemic? The virus doesn't care whether the person is a Democrat, Republican, believer, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or atheist. It is going to affect the human-a bag of blood and bones. That too, now there are 2-3 different variants of the virus and some are more infective than the others. If a human ends up in the mortuary, funeral home, incinerator, ventilator or with very reduced lung capacity, where even the argument of freedom comes? Shouldn't the human be hale and healthy to enjoy the freedom? So, think of the deep deceit and hoax the people who are not following the truths and facts are getting into.

Above this, there are leaders who deliberately do one thing for themselves and another thing for their followers. Here, a link to a news clip, where the leader who is inflaming fake news about vaccines and hoax, got themselves vaccinated secretly. How can you do one thing for yourself and set another rule for your followers? So, what does this show? A person is just using emotions to pull in their followers, has a very different agenda and is not really "for the people." The insurrectionists who were captured by the law and police again and again said, "They were asked by President Trump to take action". But was the above said leader anywhere to help them, when they found themselves in dire straits and looking at decades of prison sentences? No.

Other leaders who want the followers: Now, there are other leaders who are eying these followers as well. Already, the followers have been deeply cheated and deceived, because as of now they don't realize, the leader has one set of rules for themselves and another set for the followers. Why such a standard? Correct, isn't it? If you are a true leader, shouldn't you take care of all others while taking care of yourself as well. Why do the vaccination in secret? Why can't you do the vaccination in open, so that your followers also take the vaccine to protect their life and health? Remember, you are standing as a torch to your followers. If you can save yourself from ICU, mortuary, funeral homes, ventilators and shortness of breath, by availing to a vaccine, why can't the followers? Aren't that double standards? Correct?

But then you come much later and say, take the vaccine. Why didn't you in early 2020, ask followers to wear mask, socially distance and say when vaccine becomes available take it. Why did you wait till early 2021 to suggest the guidance to followers? Remember, actions speak louder than words. Actions show the mind and true intentions of a person. Always! Always! They can speak up a storm, doesn't matter! How are they acting? Observe, observe and observe.

So, we have already made clear, the first leader doesn't have pure intentions of welfare, health and wellness for his followers. Now, why are the other leaders getting on the same bandwagon? Remember, the followers come to 70+ million people. That is a lot of followers. Followers means power. Power means position. There is a saying- With great power comes great responsibility. Are they ready to take the responsibility of protecting the health and wellness of their followers? Okay, they say yes. Then, why are they getting into the same bandwagon and may even undergo ethics investigations? Again, actions speak louder than words. Already we have seen "the leader" threw many of the insurrectionists under the bus. How about these new leaders who are trying to capture the seventy million people?

Confusion and chaos brings misinformation

That is why it is said, along with deepest of emotions a very sane logical mind also is needed. Otherwise, we as a being can trust anyone blindly, even a person who is trying to cheat, deceive and take us for a ride. A "player" in American social terms. They just play with our emotions without giving any true value for the same emotions. A dictator or authoritarian person is a player.  The follower who gets played "always lose" in the long run. Because the leader at the first instance itself only "needs" the emotions for their agenda, but has no value for the emotions themselves. Psychologists write about patients being played with the emotions all the time. 

So, emotions/emotional mind are/is very powerful- The mountain! But which mountain to be scaled and taken for the progress of humanity, innovation and welfare, that should be decided by the logical mind.

The facts: Now, let us come to the facts. The realm of the pure logic. I am going to put a bunch of links. Anyone can access those links to know the true facts. Facts are the reality/truth that happens in that particular time. The Victorian era had ladies wearing elaborate dresses- a fact. Before automobiles came along, people used to travel in horse carriages- fact. Now, from 2020-2021, the world is reeling under a pandemic called Covid-19, which originated in Wuhan, China from a bat.

The pandemic can be controlled by wearing masks, socially distancing by keeping the distance between people to six feet, washing hands diligently. Once the vaccine comes out, people also should get vaccinated. All these help to keep us humans alive. People if they believe hoax and fake stories, they are going fall sick if they come across the Corona virus. If they have underlying pre existing comorbidity conditions it is going to affect the person extremely seriously. News have come out that for many people, they are finding chronic lung affectation and the lung capacity is getting very much reduced.

I see that, I have filled this blog post with links (😅). But I cannot find another way to make people to take it very seriously. The world is going through a major pandemic. The world has gone through worldwide disasters before, like World Wars, Spanish flu, 13th century Bubonic plague and more. This is not the first time this has happened. Tough times ask for tough measures. It would have been great if we could have lived without social distancing and masks. But wishing is not the reality. Truth and facts are the reality. 

The truth for the current time is there is a pandemic caused by Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). In very serious cases, it will kill the human. The fact is 500,000+ people have perished in the US and 2 million 700,000+ have perished globally. Yes, it is very tough news. But the most comfortable place in life is to know the truth and then, act upon it. This blog post is for anyone who believes there is no pandemic and it is a conspiracy theory cooked up by the global elite. It is not. It is impossible to cook up a world-wide conspiracy theory. Let us not put ourselves and others health in jeopardy by our own ignorance.

We as a world have come out of extreme serious situations before. Now, also we would. But concerted, united efforts are needed. There is a concept called herd immunity, where a particular percent of people needs to develop the immunity to the disease, so that, the Covid-19 would become more like a seasonal flu, which we can take care of every year by a shot similar to flu shot. An educated and aware mind is a deep asset for human life. It is not necessary we need to go to the college or University for that. We have the internet in our hands. We just have to use it, go to the good authentic sites and get the information.

We already elaborated how leaders with ulterior agendas can deceive and take us to task. So, we should listen to leaders. But before listening, we also should deeply analyze and understand, does the leader has true intentions and motives for the follower's welfare along with their own? Nobody said, a leader should not take care of themselves. They should. But being a leader, they also should take care of people who look up to them. Only true leaders are capable of that. So, I specifically wrote this blog post to make people realize and understand there is a pandemic; truths and facts are important. 

Truths are information, which provides deep value for our life. Facts are the truths for the current society and world. Both are very important. Both can keep us safe as well as sane. Same way hoax, fake news, misinformation and conspiracy theories can bring chaos, confusion, prison times (Capitol insurrectionists) and even death (Ashley Babbit and four Capitol police officers). So, why not as a human we always align with truths and facts that give us true information and value for life?

Leaving with a Tamil Proverb: 

Kannal kanpathum poy.
Kathal kelpathum poy.
Tere visarippathu Mey.

Meaning: What you see with your eyes are false. What you hear with your ears are false. The only way to understand the truth is to deeply analyze the information.

I wish you a good and safe weekend, and I'll see you next Friday! 😉

Next week: The Word - Intentions!
