Great thoughts, Pete. I agree, we (I, and some people I’ve known… especially older fellows approaching the end of their lives) often project our own personal end-times onto a global end-times. It seems to be a quirk of human nature. Living gets kind of tough here on Earth at times, and there’s a part of us that thinks the whole shebang would be better off with a clean slate.
I guess the bottom line is that life on Earth has its challenges, and we all do the best we can. Knowing there’s a reward afterward can make the hard work less grueling. The more we work to help others, the greater the reward. That seems to be one of the main things I’ve learned from ITC over the years.
All the best,
Mark

John, Mark, and Marri… your comments are MUCH appreciated.
I’ve read through them twice, and will go through them again today.
After I digest everything (your ideas, my thoughts….), I plan to reply in more depth.
For now…
May 2012 by a great year for you and yours,
Warm wishes,

From Patangali’s “Yoga Sutras,” an ancient text, sutra number 2 reads, in phonetic Sanskrit, “Yoga chitti vritti nirodha.”

Translated: “The purpose of yoga is to still the thought waves of the mind.”

When the Brain Mind is still, the Heart Mind delivers our true Identity, plus a whole lot more.

We are challenged everyday to come to our true Identity. That’s what earth life drama living seems to be about.

Earth life drama is going to intensify as the economy and the markets fail. A banking crisis and a liquidity crisis will ensue, and will visit all of us. Everyone will be caught in the throes of not being able to get their money.

Even now, the “lawmakers” are discussing the issue of future seizure of all individual assets; IRA’s and everything else. No joke.

One of the best investments one can make now is to use one’s money to acquire the goods and skill sets needed to weather the coming difficulties.

No joke. Meditation will help you gain some clarity about these issues and what you must do for yourself, family, and other loved ones.

Dear Mark,
I understand how you feel. There are areas in my life that are in conflict and I feel as if I’m caught up in a whirlwind – never quite knowing what to do next.

I’ve kept logs because it does help to write when I feel overwhelmed.

I find I get caught up with life’s distractions that I often forget to meditate.
Then as if on cue, I am once again reminded. (This time by you) how important it is!

About 2 months ago, I remember being fascinated with an Oprah interview. She talked about the healing benefits seen when she had her entire staff mediate without fail 2x/day. First off, they had to practice. In a couple of weeks, they were noticing a difference in themselves. Within a month’s time, they were all interacting with each other in a very different way-more calmness,acceptance and love. The results were really astounding.
I’ve yet to try meditating 2/day. I feel that within a month’s time it may lead to a new part of me. I know it takes dedication and lots of practice.

This I know, the few times I’ve applied myself and meditated… All else just ceases to be and for the moment, I am at peace with Spirit once more.
Take care.

Hang in there Mark. Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. Your investments will turn around just be patient. My wife and I have many investments that are constantly in a state of flux. Just be patient my friend and in time the stock market will do as you want it to. If you ever want to talk to me about anything, never hesitate contacting me. After all, that’s what friends are for.
Your friend,

When I get into these earthside anxiety conundrums, I practice stepping outside of my story.

We all have a story that we keep adding chapters to, and then, like a thesis of our life, we have to defend the damn thing. So, we keep repeating the story to try to validate what we are doing. This just assists our Identity crisis even more.

The story usually has alot of grief stuff in it. The grief begets the fear, which begets the desire, which begets the anger, which begets the shadow pride we use to try to cover it all up with so nobody else is the wiser to our individual plight.

Meanwhile, everyone else is swimming in the same stuff, as you posting says up front.

Stepping out of one’s story is liberating, and your meditation is one fine facilitator of the liberation.

Yan, great letter. Thanks.
I agree with your comments on “The Project.” I rounded up a lot of important information for the book and put it all together more like a technical writer than an author. Still, it has its place….
Hope you like the ebook (Noble-Savage Project) better. More concise and better-flowing.

When people and families go through really tough times, there’s only one principle I’ve found that can uplift them and keep their heads above water through the ordeal… something you allude to in your letter:
While there can be a lot of gut-wrenching drama in our outer lives, in the outer world, we all have at our core a piece of the source… the living flame… the soul… (call it what you will); and that truest part of us is connected to a higher power that can solve any problem. Once we release our problems–turn them over to the higher power–suddenly we’re free. The drama continues to boil around us, but we can observe it from an objective, peaceful state of mind that lets us go on with our lives.

Many of us (my family included) have gone through this grueling, then peaceful process.

Thanks again for the deep thoughts…
Mark

Mark- Not a mystery there, now I MUST get the ebook….. I liked your book, “The Project” but to tell you the truth, I thought it was a little “mechanical,” if not systematic and so, I wasn’t able to get through it completely. Not to question its holiness because it IS Holy; maybe a little too holy for me, Mark -hey watch it!! Anyway, nice to know I was on the ball with the central theme of your new ebook: goes to show that the collective consciousness does have an affect on us, even where we least expect it and there is indeed a certain order in the universe. Mark, I’m glad you know your true purpose, my friend; something too many can’t say, myself included. Maybe it’s just enough to have some point of view and not just drift along anywhere that life will lead you. You certainly help and encourage me, and it’s been said that even if you help just ONE person, in your career or profession or simply anywhere, then you would have accomplished your purpose. I’m sure there is something to this ITC stuff, even though not everything squares with what I’ve read in other so-called, esoteric, spiritual, etc., literature but it does seem to be more reliable than other sources if simply from the fact that there is so much physical evidence and that it CAN be recorded. I just hope we make it there some day. I tend to be old fashioned and somewhat of a purist in my thinking, and what can be more old fashioned than getting back to the original Paradise out of which, it is my belief, we all issued forth because of lack of experience. I totally hate the fact that it is because i lack experience, knowledge etc., that I have to sit here and suffer. My mom always said, learn from others experiences and from THEIR mistakes. How foolish I thought that was! Little did I know that I was even MORE conservative in that respect- that I didn’t even think I need experience at all! Isn’t that the way God , if there is one, created us, perfect, whole, complete and resplendent in every way? Right now, I’m questioning, basically, every aspect of my Earth experience, and I’m not leaving anything to spare. I think every one of our basic assumptions about life MUST be questioned, in order for there to be any real change in our country and our world and nothing at all should be left to chance. Why not examine everything, for even a slight change in perspective can be enough to change one’s outlook even to create significant change in how one views the world and even the world itself! Anyway, I’m talking too much here so I think I’ll end. I just happen to think that people should dialogue more and that alone would bring with it significant change. I think that is the case; people HAVE started to talk more and that is a start, I believe, in the right direction. Mark, I’m sorry, this IS YOUR blog and I don’t mean to take it over, it just happens to be a topic and area in which I’m extremely interested and you look somewhat receptive to what I have to say so I’m using every opportunity to express myself to the maximum. I believe I have a lot of learning left in order to be able to formulate my thoughts more completely but I believe that the basic things that I DO say, are what many major thinkers have already formulated, if only for the fact, that they are so basic and are almost brutally honest. Mark, I really do like to hear everything about your life, great last post, btw. Always like to hear what truly positive people like to say, even the minute details of their life. I hope what I’ve said here, is truly what’s relevant and I’m not just “flapping” my mind, so-to-speak and wasting everybody’s time. I’m sure the ethereals, if they do exist, will probably like, and take it as a big complement that I am devoting so much time to this and will consequently award me “browny” points for doing so. Nothing beats a cigarette though! Have a great day! Hope I didn’t say too much! God Bless.
