And it’s impact on civilisation
Published on: 18 Aug 2016, Updated 18 Aug 2018
It’s a well established fact that alcohol dulls the senses and over a long-term period destroys brain tissue. Yet we are sensory beings and we rely on our senses to perceive the world around us as well as to make sense of that world. Therefore alcohol in effect is destroying sensitivity to life; in other words, making drinkers stupid.
Civilisation is a recognition that one belongs to a collective. So if we look at ants, each colony is a unique civilisation in a similar way to us. As human beings we all share common traits, but our sense of civilisation depends on our language and upbringing.

Our universe
We humans are prone to taking ourselves very seriously and to prove our self-worth, we come up with all sorts of ideas, philosophies and beliefs but then we attach special significance to them as if they were going to make the supreme difference in not only the way we live our lives, but will affect the harmony of the universe.
When we consider the age of the universe which many scientists believe (but don’t know), they calculate about thirteen billion years and of course a billion on human terms is an exceedingly unimaginable number. Intellectually we may understand the immensity but because it is so immense, we have no way of relating to our current existence.

Saving India – Saving the world
In researching not only Indian history but the history of the world it seems we have checked enough boxes and this time that some thought was given to compiling all this information with references in a logical and meaningful manner then making approaches to the various authorities around the world to begin the correcting of school textbooks.
The narrative may likely proceed to point out the correlation between the very ancient occupation of India and the similarities with Africa of 1.3 million years ago, the before and after Mount Tober incident and the evidence of simple agriculture originating in India followed by the spread of civilisation, knowledge and technology from India around the globe.

An ancient symbol misunderstood
Published on: 9 Aug 2016, updated May 29 2018
Ursa Major and Ursa Minor in relation to Polaris.
The symbol of the Swastika goes back over 11,000 years and is believed to have originated in the Harappan or Pre-Harappan period and the culture of the Indus Valley Civilization. There is also a mention of the Swastika in the Vedas around the same time.
The swastika, an Indian symbol of peace and continuity came into ill repute because of the Nazi regime in Germany who took it as their emblem. But they may not have had any idea what it represented. Unfortunately most people still look on the symbol with some disgust due to this

To generate peace, wisdom, love and compassion
A “mantra” is a sacred utterance, a prayer, a celebration, a numinous sound, a syllable, word or group of words in mostly in Sanskrit or Tibetan that have psychological and spiritual powers. Sanskrit and Tibetan represent two of the world’s first languages and describe the technology of how to become more fully human.
Most people are content with the peace of mind that comes from repeating these phrases but to get more out of them, it helps to know more of the actual meaning so that you set your mind on a journey for the truth of life and these mantras have nothing to do with the common conception of prayer.

The most ancient of healing arts
No one knows when massage was first practised, but over the past 50 years it has become a popular treatment for aches and pains and those who have regular massages proclaim to be one of the best forms of preventative medicine.
This page presents a simple summary of massage including its history, common use and some of the different types of massage that are also described in more detail on this site.
History:
Massage is an instinctive human response that when we bump ourselves that we rub it and the ‘ouch’ soon goes away. This basic instinct has been slowly developed over the countless generations into a sophisticated healing art and science.
Professional therapeutic

Indian map from the early BC period
We have all grown up in a Eurocentric world where Europe including the UK became the centre of civilisation after the fall of Rome yet this understanding is more mythological than factual.
One thing is certain and that’s that Europeans love their ideas and on analysis they seem to be almost psychologically attached to them that they have written world history as they saw it conveniently leaving out facts that may shed any doubt on their case. For instance when Vasco de Gama left Portugal in search of an ocean route to India, he had to hug the coast because he did not have

And the Art of Being Human
Tumblr image
Mind itself is a rather vague term within today’s mumbo-jumbo of psychological and technical information. It has come to be understood that mind is different from brain or consciousness, yet even experts treat the three words is being synonymous. Let’s eliminate one possibility, the brain. The brain is part of our body, it is dense physical whereas the mind is more subtle and indistinguishable from consciousness.
It is so easy to be confused by jargon and when we consider the physical brain that uses energy when we think and without which mind would not function, it is to the mind what the body is to the

A grand deception and a corruption of knowledge
According to wikipedia and many dictionaries, (1.) Colonialism is the policy of a nation seeking to extend or retain its authority over other people or territories, generally with the aim of developing or exploiting them to the benefit of the colonizing country. Then it says (2.) “and helping the colonies modernize in terms defined by the colonizers, especially in economics, religion and health.”
Europe was the last region of the world to become civilised and armed with snippets of knowledge from other places they put their minds to trying to make themselves appear better, smarter than anyone else yet the behaviour of taking over someone else’s lands and possessions is a criminal

The why of how we all perceive differently
The science of how everything is relative and no one is right or wrong.
The science of yoga talks about the universe as we perceive it as being an illusion and not real in the way that we believe that it is. This is primarily because everyone perceives our everyday reality inside their own mind. To remind you; our five senses perceive something and then they send an electrical signal to our brains which interprets that signal and creates the concept of that reality. Because we experience life in our minds, we actually have no external reality other than how we perceive it to be and as some say ‘create’.
In these
