OVO  NIJE  IGRA  ZA  MALE  IGRAČE  (I deo)

„Pronadjite svoju brzu prugu“
Nekoliko komentara na moje blogove iznedrilo je pitanje koje bi se moglo ovako formulisati: “Pa dobro, a šta da radim”. Ovo pitanje me prati odkada sam počeo da se osalnjam na sebe, a dobilo je na intezitetu nakon mojih postova.
Jako je razočaravajuća činjenica da svi koji me to pitaju, u stvari pojma nemaju šta bi radili da nemaju stalno zaposlenje. A odgovor na to pitanje “ A šta da radim” je srž svih mojih postova. A to je:  da su “nerazvijene” moždane ćelije. Zato se i drže samo ono što znaju a plaše se nepoznatog.
Sviđa mi se kako je to veliki ekonomski teoretičar iz XVIII veka, Adam Smit,  definisao: “ Specijalizacija omogućuje ljudima vrlo visoko znanje iz specifične oblasti, ali istovremeno od čoveka napravi glupandera i neznalicu, kakvo samo ljudsko biće zna da bude”. Prevedeno na savremeni rečnik, u ovoj definiciji samo zamenite reć “specijalizacija” rečju “stalno zaposlenje”.
Mozak je “mišić” ali jedinstven u našem telu. Jedino vežbanjem tog mišića njegova “masa” se može razviti i 100 puta više od nominalne. Naša krv prelazi stotine kilometara svake 33 sekunde, naše telo je toliko savršeno da bilo koji kompjuter izgleda kao dečja igračka a samo je instrument našeg uma.. Naš mozak je najsavršeniji mehanizam koji poznajemo. Možemo o njemu pričati danima u superlativima i opet ne bismo sve rekli. Toliko je fenomenalan.
Postoje samo 2 stvari koje će vas sprečiti da ostvarite vaše snove, namere u postizanju ciljeva i izbor života koji hoćete da proživite. A to je film koji prolazi preko ekrana vašeg uma u opuštenom stanju. To je slika koju svesno držite u centru vašeg uma i koja teži da postane deo podsvesti i konačno postaje obrazac ličnosti u koju ćemo na kraju izrasti.
1. Prvo, to su ljudi koji vas okružuju i koji vam govore da ne možete u nečemu da uspete. Ako ih budemo nekritički slušali, ubiće naše ideje a time i nas. Postaće nam dosadno. A dosada je nedostatak kreativnosti.
Možete u vašem umu napraviti bilo koju kreativnu ideju i unovčiti je. Ali morate prestatti da slušate ljude koji kritikuju i govore da to ne može i morate prestati da radite ono što većina smatra da treba da radite ili radite zato što to većina radi, pa je to tako normalno da i vi radite.

2. Druga stvar, i to mnogo jače jeste STRAH. Ništa tako ne umanjuje naš genij kao prevelik strah i sumnja u sopstvene sposobnosti. Unutar svakog od nas čuči jedan briljantan lik koji čeka da se probudi. Istovremeno čuči drugi lik spreman da kleči i moli paralisan o straha. Jedna od razlika između bogatih ni onih koji to nisu jeste kako doživljvaju strah, tj.kako izlaze na kraj sa njim.

Strah neće platiti vaše račune. Nadate se da će višak novca ublažiti strepnje,ali one ne prestaju. Strah ih drži zarobljene i odlazite na posao nadajući se većoj plati sanjajući oslobađanje. Novac postaje vaš potpuni gospodar.
To podrazumeva i žrtvovanje. Ali žrtvovanje nije gubljenje već odbacivanje starih verovanja da bi stvorili mesta za novo. A držimo se starih ideja i verovanja zbog nedostatka sopstvene vere u sebe i svoje mogućnosti. To proizilazi od poteškoća da razumemo ko smo i šta smo. A morali bi znati da naše JA ne zna za ograničenja i da smo sposobni da uradimo gotovo sve što hoćemo. Ali većina misli drugačije zbog toga što njihova sigurnost proističe u skupljanju što više materijalnih dobara pa se plaše da pokušaju bilo šta drugo. Zbog toga se drže starog i pokušavaju da još više prikupe tog istog starog. A dok god se držite bilo čega zbog straha da ćete izgubiti vi niste slobodni. Vi ste preplavljeni mislima sumnje, ograničenja, ozlojeđenosti i nedostatka.
Pa dobro, čega se to plašimo:
-na površini,  plašimo se da izgubimo ono što sad imamo. Baš tužno… više od polovine zemaljske populacije ne može da poveruje o ono što sada posedujemo. Iako smo siromašni u odnosu na razvijene zemlje.
A zašto se onda toliko plašimo za ono što sada imamo?
– zato što smo tako uslovljeni pa se zato plašimo novog i čak šta više trudimo se da skupimo još više postojećeg, jer ga poznajemo. Sigurnost je posledica Nesigurnosti a to je druga reč za strah. Ako dozvolite da ta paraliza potraje, nikada nećete razviti svoj potencijal. Stići ćete do penzije strahujući svaki dan, a kad penzija dodje i osvrnete se – shvatićete da je život protraćen.
Ako nemate to što tražite u sopstvenoj glavi, NIKADA GA NEĆETE DOBITI od spoljnog sveta. To je od apsolutnog značaja da shvatimo.

Ovo nije igra za male igrače
Svi imamo strahove, i to mnogo. Ne znam nikoga koje operisan od toga. Ali igrati na bezbedno  – znači sumnjati,  a to je negativna energija i nikada nećete dobiti ništa drugo osim toga. A tako će vam ljudi i uzvraćati jer ste im to i dali. Ja ove postove dugo spremam, i nemam garanciju da će se bilo kome dopasti. Uložio sam svu svoju energiju u cilju da vam ovo predstavim, ali mi niko ne garantuje da ću to i uspeti. Moje okruženje može samo da me ohrabri. Ali ja ovo radim bez trunke sumnje da li će vam se uopšte dopasti. Bio sam spreman da uradim šta god treba i koliko god dugo je to zahtevalo. Bez izvinjenja, bez ako, bez možda, bez IZGOVORA.
Morate biti hrabri kada stanete ispred svojih ideja. Ovo nije igra za male igrače. Sav vaš dosadašnji život može doživeti veleobrt. I u pozitivnom a i negativnom smislu. Nemojte odustajati, ako ne znate kako da uspete. Kad bi znali ne bi ni valjalo. Pobeda i poraz su deo iste priče i uče se, iako dozvolimo da nas poraz pogodi,  tapkaćemo u mestu. Postaćemo i ostaćemo samo mali čovek koji traži toplo udobno mesto dok nas ne premeste. Kada vas problem pogodi, naše mentalne potencijali rastu. TO JE POENTA.
Moramo shvatiti da uspešni ljudi očekuju uspeh i onda krenu i urade to. A znate zašto? Zato što su svesni svog potencijala te lako smišljaju nove ideje i još lakše ih ostvaruju. Mnogi ljudi i ne započinju ništa jer ih više plaši eventualni poraz nego radost pobede ili uspeha. Kada poraz obuzme čoveka najjednostavnije i najlogičnije je… ODUSTATI. On tada jedino zna za reč “nemoguće” i zna sva pravila koja ne funkcionišu. Zna sve razloge sopstvenog neuspeha i ima sve neoborive alibije zašto nije uspeo.
Obratite pažnju kada se raspravljate s nekim i pričate o njegovom „neuspehu“. Većina objašnjava zašto ne može a u isto vreme neznaju šta može. Ne znaju „šta uopšte i mogu drugo da rade“ a da nisu stalno zaposleni. Oni svoje misli posvećuju: očaju, siromaštvu, neuspehu i porazu.
Uspešni ljudi pak, ne obraćaju pažnju na njih, iako se povremeno i susretnu s porazom. Oni ne žele da žive ispod svojih mogućnosti. Zapamtite i to da svi oni koji uspeju u životu prolaze kroz mnoge srceparajuće borbe pre nego što stignu na cilj. Ali ne odustaju. To je razlika između onih neobrazovanih ali uspešnih koji su “imali sreće” i onih pametnih, sposobnih i obrazovanih ali “predodređenih” za neuspeh.

Mali vodić do finansijske slobode
Ovoliki post a bez konačnog odgovora koji posao da započnete?
Pa dobro, evo moj put ka finansijskoj slobodi, uz napomenu da on uopšte nije jedini i najbolji. Stvarno mislim da bukvalno svako od nas ima svoj put.Samo treba već jednom da se otisne. Ali nešto od ovog sigurno možete „copy and paste“

1. NE ŠTEDITE PARE U BANCI. Jesu „najsigurnije“ ali za ljude koji vode banku. Vama plate 2% (minus porez) a oni replasiraju za 5-10 puta više. A i ne vole ni vašu štednju previše. Za njih je to PASIVA, Ako vam se javi usklik u glavi „Hoću u bankare“ nemojte ga se stideti. I meni se to redovno dešava.
2. GARANTOVANO imate nešto spektakularno, što drugi ne vide. Odmah da vam kažem to nije dovoljno. Čak šta više može i da vas ukoči. Samo dobra ideja, NIKADA NIJE dovela do uspeha. Ono što će vam pomoći jeste definitivna odluka da ćete u narednih 5 ili 10 godina raditi nešto drugo i biti negde drugde a ne na postojećem radnom mestu. Kada kažem definitivna odluka onda to i mislim. Hoću da kažem da mora biti sprovedena bez izgovora. U suprotnom, ostajete obični maštari. I da, najvažnije: u vašoj kutiji za alat (glavi) definišite koliko je to. Smejte se sebi kako je neostavrivo. Ali ipak, intezivno svaki dan, mislite o tome.
3. Probajte da odolite kupovini nekretnine(usko povezano sa 1.). Nekretnine uglavnom kupuju ljudi koji imaju viška novca, a manjka znanja šta bi s njim i ogromne količine straha od finansijskog gubitka. A još se i uljuljkaju kako će lako prodati nekretninu. To „lako“ dobro znaju oni koji su je prodavali unazad 4-5 godina. Visinu zakupnine pri rentiranju, ako ste zakupodavac, da i ne pominjem
4. Intezivirajte se na internetu i uverićete se koliko sve više ima podrške na internetu za START UP projekte. SBAN, IMPACT HUB, START IT, START LAB… Iako su oni pretežno usmereni na IT tehnologiju, ima prostora i za druge poslove. Tamo su grantovi od EUR 10.000 pa i do max. EUR 200.000. I u okruženju ima. Dobar je bugarski ELEVEN koji i prihvata naše aplikante. Ima i državnih fondova koji nisu namešteni, verujte. Na primer: RDA, Fond za razvoj Vojvodine ili Srbije, i poneke banke (Čačanska na primer).
5. Zadržite stalan posao. Wtf??? Sve vreme pričam o privatnoj inicijativi a sad ovo. Pa morate i dalje da plaćate račune, zar ne? Potpuno je glupo odmah preseći. Ali dok ne stanete na noge, ulažite u ideju i OBRAZOVANJE. Kursevi iz preduzetništva, upravljanja, internet promocije, kao i forumi na kojima se odobravaju sredstva, uglavnom su vikendom ili u popodnevnim časovima. Mislim da će vam vreme biti najveća žrtva.
6. Ako niste vični pokretanju privatnog posla, a imate novca, razmotrite da vi postanete investitor. Odnosno, razmotrite opciju da ulažete iznose u neke firme direktno, ili preko berze. Ne dajte se zavarati da je to sve kocka. Jeste riskantno, ali se rizik može kontrolisati. Pod uslovom da se obrazujete i da ste spremni da izgubite. I da vam gubitak bude lekcija a ne poraz. Počnite sa malim sumama dok ne steknete samopouzdanje i otpor na strah od gubitka. Nije uopšte teško postiči od 15-20% na godišnjem nivou, pa do plus/minus beskonačno. Zapamtite da je u tom slučaju, ako se opredelite za ovako nešto, dovoljno SAMO JEDNOM DA BUDETE U PRAVU.

The Vedic View of Ecology

BY Ranchor Prime ON December 1, 2014

    

0

It is often supposed that humans can get what they want from this world provided they are prepared to work hard enough for it—that with our superior intelligence we can win wealth by exploiting the earth’s resources, while animals can only follow their instincts in the struggle for survival. The ability of humans to exploit their environment is presumed somehow to give us rights over animals and nature. This misconception lies at the root of the expansion of human domination of the planet over the past 500 years.
A different concept is taught by the Vedas. This planet and all she produces does not belong to humanity, any more than she belongs to the other species living here. The earth is satisfied when she sees her produce symbolically returned to God, its original source. This principle is taught in the classic Vedic text Isha Upanishad:

His friends were shocked to find that despite the beauty of the cage the poor bird was dying.

Modern society is missing the point of life, like the man who bought a bird in an ornate cage. He wanted a beautiful cage to decorate his home, but he did not care much for the bird. He restored and polished the cage, then proudly displayed it to his friends. But he forgot to feed the bird inside. His friends were shocked to find that despite the beauty of the cage the poor bird was dying.
Despite its extraordinary complexity, today’s way of life is becoming a cage. Although it is a very elaborate, enticing, and fascinating cage, it nonetheless imprisons the human spirit. The bird in the cage is starving.

The Vedic Vision

The civilization of ancient India, called the Vedic civilization, was built on a philosophy that recognized the spirit as the central fact of life. The Vedic philosophy was woven into its literature, and epics such as the Mahabharata, the “great story of old India,” contained within them the essential teachings of the spirit, which gave shape to the daily way of life.
Many of the Vedic teachings have been passed over by Western civilization. One is the theory of reincarnation, which regards the self as an indestructible being that journeys through many bodies and many species, one after another. This view of life does not support a human-centered culture that exploits animals and dominates nature, or that accumulates as much of the world’s resources as it can with only one lifetime in which to do it all. Instead, it values all life-forms as expressions of the spirit and stresses qualities such as patience and compassion. It looks beyond the transience of material pleasures to lasting happiness and fulfillment arising from inner peace and tranquillity.
In the Vedic vision of the world, consciousness pervades the universe and all within it. A human being, an elephant, a cow, birds, ants, trees, mountains, rivers, and the planet earth itself—all are conscious. The sun, moon, and stars shine their consciousness upon us, and conscious beings fill the space between us with their invisible presence.
The splendor of the moon, the stars, the rising sun, the winds, the sky, the vegetation, the animals, birds, rivers, trees, oceans, and mountains together form the beauty of the natural creation. Part of that beauty is called vana vaibhava in Sanskrit. There is no exact equivalent in English for this word, but the nearest term would be “forest splendor.” Human beings are part of this forest splendor and should therefore love and respect it. We are part of it; it gives us our identity and without it we are lost.

Vedic Ecology

The traveler in India soon learns to appreciate the ancient trees that often grow by the wayside. Planting trees and digging wells have traditionally been the two great acts of charity by which anyone could earn merit and universal appreciation. And therefore trees such as mango, neem, or banyan were planted along the roads to give shelter and shade, their leaves acting as natural air conditioners. Beneath their broad canopies generations of wayfarers, stopping for a rest or a meal, have found relief from the heat.
Sadly these big shade trees along the roads are now becoming rare, but wherever they are found they carry with them a brooding sense of magic and history. They stand as silent symbols of India’s spiritual roots, outposts of the vast forests and jungles that once covered the continent, gave shelter to Rama in his years of exile, and echoed with the sound of Krishna’s flute as he herded the cows.
Sages dwelt in these forests, living simple and austere lives in search of spiritual perfection. Living with them beneath the trees were their students, who could learn the Vedic truths in perfect natural surroundings, reminded in a thousand ways of the all-pervading presence of God.
Because they lived in the forest, the early Vedic teachers attached great importance to trees. Beneath a tree was the right place for a disciple to receive spiritual instruction from a guru. The tree was the symbol of patience and tolerance. The sages carefully studied and recorded the herbal and medicinal properties of the forest. Some trees gained special significance, and poems and prayers were composed about them and the spirits dwelling within them.
This tradition of valuing trees led to a subtle ecological relationship between human communities and the forest community of trees, plants, and animals. The basis of this relationship was the recognition of the right of trees, forest-dwelling animals, and plants to live alongside humans, free from exploitation. Human society depended on the forest for survival and prosperity and therefore had to protect it. Furthermore, the forest provided a place of peace and harmony with God where the spiritual goals of life could be pursued by the forest sages.
Originally the land was covered with trees, but as the human population increased, trees were cleared to make way for cultivation. How the land was cleared and the earth cultivated was described long ago in the ancient story of King Prithu, who milked the earth in the form of a cow. He was credited with clearing the forests and establishing the first organized agricultural settlements and townships.
Once some of the original forest was cleared, however, Vedic culture required that another kind of forest be established in its place. To completely remove the forest was simply not acceptable. It was the source of natural wealth such as fodder, timber, roots, and herbs. Moreover, the trees guaranteed the fertility of the soil and purified the air and water.
Therefore the villages each preserved sections of forest for their own specific needs. These forests were different from the mahavan, the wild forest or jungle, because they were open for exploitation and harvesting according to strictly ecological practices. This kind of forest was called shrivan, which literally means “forest of wealth”—they were the basis of the community’s prosperity. Each village was responsible through its panchayat, or committee of five elders, for maintaining the forests in its own locality. No village would be complete without its corresponding woodlands in and around its houses.
The shrivan could be in the form of groves of a particular kind of tree, such as the mango. Many such groves were given to the temples in the distant past and kept up for countless generations. They served many uses, providing fruits, flowers, timber products, and shelter for grazing cows. Such sacred groves still survive in some places today as a reminder of the old system. They are often the only surviving areas of mature woodland in otherwise denuded surroundings and provide both humans and wildlife with a refuge from the encroaching development of housing, roads, modern agriculture, and factories.
The third category of forest is tapovan, the home of the sages. This kind of forest is natural and untended, but is specifically set aside as a place for spiritual practice. Why should a forest be required for spiritual practice? The answer is found in the meaning of the name tapovan: tapa means “penance” and vana means “forest.” The life of a rishi, a holy person, is meant to be one of self-control and penance through diet, simple living, renunciation of belongings, and meditation. The rishi requires a place apart from the bustle and passion of worldly life, a place pervaded with the presence of God—this is the tapovan, the forest of penance. If one wants to meet with such advanced souls, one has to go to a forest where there are ashrams or hermitages. Many stories in the Vedic literature tell of encounters between worldly persons and sages in their forest ashrams. From this profoundly natural setting emerged the Vedic teachings of the Upanishads, such as the Brihadaranyaka, whose title literally means “the teaching that began in the forest.”
The presence of sages also guarantees the protection of the forest. No animal or tree can be harmed near where such persons live. In Vedic times, even kings who violated the sanctity of the area by hunting could be punished. Even now, the mere presence of a holy person can sometimes ensure the safety of all around, but today it is mostly necessary to establish such sanctuaries by force of law and keep them under constant guard against poachers and vandals.
Between the villages there would also be forest sanctuaries, called raksha. These would be left entirely to themselves—no human would enter them—as a sanctuary for wildlife. If a bird had made a nest on a tree branch, the entry of a single person could disturb its habitat. Therefore this small forest would be completely protected from human disturbances. During the daytime the birds and animals would go into the village or wherever they wished, but could return safely to their habitat at night. All of them living in that patch would feel quite safe.
Another essential part of the traditional village ecology is the water tank, or reservoir of rainwater. These tanks vary in size from small ponds to large lakes of up to four acres, excavated to a depth of twenty feet or more, with steps built into their sides for access. They are situated in natural depressions in the ground, where they can best receive the surface rainwater. Most tanks contain one to four boreholes, depending on the tank’s size, to feed surplus rainwater down to the underlying groundwater. In this way every year the abundance of monsoon rain is captured and the groundwater replenished to ensure a constant supply of sweet water.
In the past these tanks were constructed or restored by wealthy benefactors, particularly in sacred pilgrimage places such as Vrindavan. They would sometimes be embellished with beautiful stonework and pavilions to give shade and resting places to pilgrims who would come to bathe in their waters. Many of these tanks have sacred associations with events in the lives of great saints or avatars. Frequently they have histories going back thousands of years.
To protect the water tank, a surrounding grove of trees would be maintained. The trees would capture rainfall, allowing it to drain into the reservoir or percolate into the ground without evaporating in the summer heat. The trees would also provide shelter for animals and humans, and separate the all-important water source from surrounding activity, ensuring its cleanliness and security. These groves, with the water they enclosed, would often be regarded as sanctuaries and places of religious significance.
Instead of following the laws of nature, however, we have developed a civilization based on the pursuit of material pleasure. Nature’s way is that pleasure is hard to come by, while suffering is plentiful: we are born to experience birth, disease, old age, and death. Yet the modern hope is that the further we can roll back these obstacles, the closer we will come to the peace and happiness we yearn for. We are doing our best to overcome nature, which means to consume more and pay less. But this increasing consumption cannot go on forever, for when the balance of nature is upset, nobody knows where the consequences may lead. It is a dangerous and insecure enterprise, and it is eating up the planet.

When we take more than we need of nature’s gifts, unfairly exploit others, and offer nothing in return, we become thieves.

On the other hand, if we treat the planet with care and take only our fair share of her produce, while leaving others their share, and recognize that all ultimately belongs to God, the planet will provide for our needs. When we take more than we need of nature’s gifts, unfairly exploit others, and offer nothing in return, we become thieves.

A World Of Miracles

A simple cobbler once taught a profound lesson to the sage Narada, the personal messenger of Vishnu. The cobbler worked hard to support his wife and children and was devoted to Vishnu, the Lord of Creation. He lived beneath the shelter of an ancient banyan tree. Its massive central trunk was surrounded by smaller trunks that hung down from the branches to put out fresh roots. The tree was like a small forest.
One day, as the cobbler worked in the shade of the tree, Narada came to visit him. The cobbler was happy to receive such an honorable guest. After humbly welcoming him to his home, he asked Narada if he had recently spoken with Lord Vishnu.
“Yes,” replied Narada, “I have just been with him, and he has sent me to see you.”
“Why did Vishnu want you to see me?” asked the cobbler in amazement.
“He said you would have a question.”
In confusion the cobbler asked the first question that came into his head.
“What was Vishnu doing when you saw him?”
Now Vishnu knew the mind of the cobbler, for he dwells in the hearts of all beings and knows them better than they know themselves. He knew this was what the cobbler would ask. Wanting to teach Narada a lesson, he had told him how to answer.
“Lord Vishnu was threading an elephant through the eye of a needle,” came Narada’s answer, just as Vishnu had instructed him.
The cobbler thought for a moment. “Well, only Vishnu could do that.”
“Do you really believe me?” Narada smiled at the cobbler’s simplicity. “Don’t you think that would be impossible?”
“For Vishnu, nothing is impossible,” replied the cobbler. “Look at this world: it is full of Vishnu’s miracles. He makes the sun rise each day and the moon shine at night. He makes the winds blow, clouds float in the sky, and rivers run to the sea.”
He bent to the ground and picked up a seed from beneath the banyan tree.
“Inside this seed is a banyan tree as big as the one it came from. It’s just waiting to come out. If Vishnu can put a whole banyan tree into a tiny seed, he can certainly thread an elephant through the eye of a needle.”
Narada heard the cobbler’s words and realized he was indeed wise, because he could see in everything the presence of God. Although he was a simple man, he knew that just as the banyan tree is contained within the seed, so Vishnu is contained within all of his creation.
The cobbler had the sense of wonder at his environment that we in this age of technology have lost. He could still be surprised at what he saw. Most of us no longer wonder at the common everyday things of this world like the banyan tree seed. We don’t see that they are miracles. Although we might be able to explain in scientific terms how a seed produces a tree, we would still not understand what the cobbler understood, namely the divine presence within the tree and its seed. No matter how believable an explanation science can give for the workings of nature, it will always be incomplete because it cannot explain the truth behind it. It may tell us the mechanics of how, but it cannot tell us the significance of why.

All of life, from the universe as a whole down to the individual trees and seeds, every living creature and the very earth beneath our feet, expresses the inspiration of the souls that dwell within it and ultimately of the Great Composer whose creation it is.

Nature is a symphony played on many instruments, following complex patterns of harmony. We can learn about the instruments and their arrangements of harmonies, but that is not the same as simply appreciating the beauty of the music, or feeling the inspiration being expressed by its composer. All of life, from the universe as a whole down to the individual trees and seeds, every living creature and the very earth beneath our feet, expresses the inspiration of the souls that dwell within it and ultimately of the Great Composer whose creation it is.
If we can understand the divine purpose that animates the world, we will know how we are to live in it and how best to use it. Scientific knowledge has advanced in many fields in the last 200 years, making it possible for us to manipulate nature and produce material benefits our predecessors could not have dreamed of. However, the Vedic scriptures advise that knowledge of matter, namely science, must be cultivated alongside knowledge of spirit if it is to benefit humanity.
The cobbler lived beneath a tree. Now that we have left the trees far behind, perhaps we are ready to learn again what he—and we—once knew. Only this time, in the words of the poet T. S. Eliot, “the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”

Finding Balance

The golden rule of economics has always been: what you take must be returned and whatever you return shall again come back to you. But once the process of production and its technology are removed from the immediate community, it becomes very difficult to sustain this balance, or even to recognize where it might lie. For example, if I cut a tree for fuel, I can plant another one, or better still five more, and in due course I will reap the benefit of my foresight. But how can I know the environmental cost of the energy I consume when it is generated in a huge and distant power station, and how am I to keep my side of the environmental balance, restoring whatever has been taken? I have lost control, and more importantly, I have lost the sense of responsibility—it seems no longer my concern to maintain that balance.

The golden rule of economics has always been: what you take must be returned and whatever you return shall again come back to you.

So it is not surprising that humanity has now arrived at a point where we are taking more than we are returning. Or worse still, we are taking goodness from the earth and returning poison; and, as a consequence, we are receiving that very same poison back from the earth.
If we are to resolve the environmental problems that now beset us, we must examine the connection between our environment and our way of life. A way of life does not exist in a vacuum. It is based on a way of thinking, a philosophy of life.

The Cetacean Brain and Hominid Perceptions of Cetacean Intelligence

The Cetacean Brain and Hominid Perceptions of Cetacean Intelligence An Essay by Captain Paul Watson "What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals!" - William Shakespeare, Hamlet The human species may not be the paragon of animals as Hamlet so eloquently described to us. There is another group of species on this Earth perhaps more deserving of such lofty praise. It is ironic that science, in its pursuit of knowledge, may soon lead us to understand that we are not what we believe or desire ourselves to be, that we are not the most knowledgeable life-form on the planet. Biological science is provoking us to shatter our image of human superiority. Confronted with new realities, we may be forced to change our perceptions. For the first time in our history, a small group of scientists stands on the threshold of communicating with a non-human intelligence. Probing the oceans instead of deep space, they are searching for an alternative terrestrial intelligence. (ATI) Astronomers devoted to SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) keep our collective inquisitive ears tuned for signs of sentience from space. At the same time, cetologists observe, document, and decipher evidence that points to a profound intelligence dwelling in the oceans. It is an intelligence that predates our own evolution as intelligent primates by millions of years. Furthermore, it is an intelligence that may prove to be far superior to us in terms of complex associative, linguistic, and survival abilities. Dr. John Ford's patient monitoring of the speech of orcas off British Columbia has revealed distinctive dialects between orca populations, so distinctive that it is possible to link a captive animal of unknown origin with its long-lost family in the wild. In the cold waters off Patagonia, Dr. Roger Payne thrilled the world with his recordings of the songs of the humpback whale. Behind the aesthetic value of whale music, Payne's research has revealed fascinating insights into the complex and highly sophisticated language of whales. In the realm of zoological study, no other family of species has had such a profound impact upon human researchers. A few brilliant researchers have even been accused of losing their scientific objectivity simply because their study of cetaceans revealed knowledge about themselves. "You see," wrote Dr. John Lilly, "what I found after twelve years of work with dolphins is that the limits are not in them, the limits are in us. So I had to go away and find out, who am I? What's this all about?" Dr. Paul Spong, who came to the study of cetology as a psychologist, found himself transformed into a devout advocate of dolphin freedom. "I came to the realization," says Spong, "that at the same time I was manipulating their (orca) behavior, they were manipulating my behavior. At the same time I was studying them and performing experiments on them, they were studying me and performing experiments on me." Both men have taken to heart an advice: eloquently expressed by novelist Edward Abbey that, "it's not enough to understand the natural world, the point is to defend and preserve it." Other scientists have told me that they understand this effect that cetaceans have on people and resist the tendency to become "involved" with their subjects only from fear of ridicule from other scientists. Knowing something is so does not mean that others will accept it or even be open-minded enough to ponder it. Some things are just not on the table for serious scientific debate, and the idea that humans are subordinate in intelligence to another species is one of them. Ingrained anthropocentric attitudes dismiss the very idea that a dolphin or whale could be as intelligent as a human being, or more. In this respect, science is dogmatic and intransigent, differing little in attitude from the Papal pronouncement that the Earth could not possibly revolve around the sun. Human imagination can instantly recognize intelligence in a blob of purple protoplasm or an insectoid extraterrestrial if it steps from a space ship dressed in a metallic suit and armed with a fantastic proton-plasmodic, negative-charged, ionic-cell destabilizer-blaster. Dolphins, on the other hand, just eat fish. We willingly accept the idea of intelligence in a life-form only if the intelligence displayed is on the same evolutionary wavelength as our own. Technology automatically indicates intelligence. An absence of technology translates into an absence of intelligence. Dolphins and whales do not display intelligence in a fashion recognizable to this conditioned perception of what intelligence is, and thus for the most part, we are blind to a broader definition of what intelligence can be. Evolution molds our projection of intelligence. Humans evolved as tool-makers, obsessed with danger and group aggression. This makes it very difficult for us to comprehend intelligent non-manipulative beings whose evolutionary history featured ample food supplies and an absence of fear from external dangers. I have observed whales and dolphins in the wild for fifty years, seeing varied and complex behavior that has displayed a definite pattern of sophisticated social interactions. They have exhibited discriminatory behavior in their dealings with us, treating us not like seals fit for prey but as curious objects to be observed and to be treated with caution. They can see beyond to the manifest technological power that we have harnessed, and they can adjust their behavior accordingly. It is a fact that there has never been a documented attack by a wild orca on a human being. Perhaps they like us. More likely they know what we are. The interpretation of behavior remains subject to the bias of the observer; one observer can classify behavior as intelligent, and a second observer will dismiss the same behavior as instinctive. There is also the tendency to be anthropomorphic -- to attribute human feelings and motives to the behavior of nonhumans. Until we can actually talk with a nonhuman, it is difficult, if not impossible, to do anything but speculate on what is being thought or perceived. We cannot even understand with any certainty what a human being from a different culture, speaking a different language, may be thinking or perceiving. Even among people of our own culture, language, class, or academic standing, it is a formidable task to peer inside the workings of the brain. In this respect all brains other than our own are alien, and I might venture to add that the inner workings of our individual brains are still a mystery to each of us that possess one. It is a great tragedy for our development as a species that we have been alone among hominids for the last thirty thousand years. Imagine Homo neanderthalensis existing today as a separate intelligent species of hominid primate. Our perception of the nature of intelligence would be profoundly different. Homo neanderthalensis is an example of a species that possessed both technology and media communication. This tool-maker created haunting images of its experiences and environment. Some Neanderthal tools, artifacts, and cave art from the Chatelperonian period have survived and remind us that we are not the only species capable of material artistic expression. Neanderthal ivory and bone carvings were used for adornment in addition to more practical purposes. Symbols carved on antlers relating to the movement of animals in relationship to the seasons indicate that Neanderthals may have invented "writing,' and carried a hunting almanac around with them. I have often heard lectures and read articles on the art of early humans. Yet seldom have I heard it said that it was not Homo sapiens alone but Homo neanderthalensis who also left us that legacy. Another species created something that we believe we alone created. We perceive reality based on how we preconceive it. In other words, we see what we want to see. Let's take a close look at the anatomy of the brain. This is an organ that the human organism shares with most species above the invertebrate order. More specifically, we should look at the mammalian brain that is an organ composed of three distinct structures. The foundation of the mammalian brain is the paleocortex, sometimes called the "reptilian" or "ancient" brain. The paleocortex segment reflects the primordial fish-amphibian-reptile structure. This basal combination of nerves is called the rhinic lobe (from the Greek rhinos, for nose) because it was once believed to be the area that dealt with the sense of smell. The poorly developed rhinic lobe is overlaid by the slightly more advanced limbic lobe (from the Latin limbus, for border). On top of this lobe is overlaid the third and much larger segment called the supralimbic lobe. Draped over these three lobes is a cellular covering called the neocortex, meaning "new brain." This is the instantly recognizable, fissured, convoluted layer that envelops the other two more primitive segments. The neocortex is a bewilderingly complex community of intertwined axonal and dendritic nerve cells, synapses, and fibers. The mammalian brain is a complex layering or lamination of evolutionary processes that reflects hundreds of millions of years of progressive development. The billions of electrochemical interactions within this complex organ define consciousness, awareness, emotion, vision, recognition, sound, touch, smell, personality, intuition, instinct, and intelligence. The first factor in determining the mammalian stages of development is the number of brain laminations. The layering of the neocortex differs greatly between humans and other land animals. The expansion of the neocortex is always forward. This means that neocortex development can be used as a fairly accurate indicator of the evolutionary process of intelligence. We cannot assume, however, that the determining factor in comparative intelligence is neocortex mass. The other factors considered in the equation are differentiation, neural connectivity and complexity, sectional specialization, and internal structure. All these factors contribute toward interspecial measurements of intelligence. Interspecies comparisons focus on the extent of lamination, the total cortical area, and the number and depth of neocortex convolutions. In addition, primary sensory processing relative to problem solving is a significant indicator; this can be described as associative ability. The association or connecting of ideas is a measurable skill: a rat's associative skill is measured at nine to one. This means that 90 percent of the brain is devoted to primary sensory projection, leaving only 10 percent for associative skills. A cat is one to one, meaning that half the brain is available for associative ability. A chimpanzee is one to three, and a human being is one to nine. We humans need only utilize 10 percent of our brains to operate our sensory organs. Thus the associative abilities of a cat are measurably greater than a rat but less than a chimp, and humans are the highest of all. Not exactly. The cetacean brain averages one to twenty-five and can range upward to one to forty. The reason for this is that the much larger supralimbic lobe is primarily association cortex. Unlike humans, in cetaceans sensory and motor function control is spread outside the supralimbic, leaving more brain area for associative purposes. Comparisons of synaptic geometry, dendritic field density, and neural connectivity underscore the humbling revelation that the cetacean brain is superior to the human brain. In addition, the centralization and differentiation of the individual cerebral areas are levels higher than the human brain. Many of us may remember our lessons from Biology 101. We were shown illustrations of the brain of a rat, a cat, a chimp, and a human. We listened as the instructor pointed out the ratio of brain to body size and the increased convolutions on the neocortex of the human over the chimp, the cat, the rat. The simplistic conclusion was an understanding that humans were smarter. Of course, it was a human demonstration of intelligence, and the conclusion was arrived at by discrimination based on the selection of the examples. When the brain model of an orca is inserted into the picture, the conclusion based on the same factors places the human brain in second position. Unfortunately for the pride of humankind, this simple comparison is elementary compared to a truly astounding fact: whereas the human brain shares three segments with all other mammals, the cetacean brain is uniquely different in its physiology. Humans have the rhinic, limbic, and supralimbic, with the neocortex covering the surface of the supralimbic. However, with cetaceans we see a radical evolutionary jump with the inclusion of a fourth segment. This is a fourth cortical lobe, giving a four-fold lamination that is morphologically the most significant differentiation between cetaceans and all other cranially evolved mammals, including humans. No other species has ever had four separate cortical lobes. This well-developed extra lobar formation sandwiched between the limbic and supralimbic lobes is called the paralimbic. Considering neurohistological criteria, the paralimbic lobe is a continuation of the sensory and motor areas found in the supralimbic lobe in humans. According to Dr. Sterling Bunnell, the paralimbic lobe specializes in specific sensory and motor functions. In humans, the projection areas for different senses are widely separated from one another, and the motor area is adjacent to the touch area. For us to make an integrated perception from sight, sound, and touch, impulses must travel by long fiber tracts with a great loss of time and information. The cetacean's paralimbic system makes possible the very rapid formation of integrated perceptions with a richness of information unimaginable to us. Despite Biology 101, brain-to-body ratio is not an indication of intelligence. If this were so, the hummingbird would be the world's most intelligent animal. Brain size in itself, however, is important, and the largest brains ever developed on this planet belong to whales. More important is the quality of the brain tissue. With four lobes, greater, more pronounced neocortex convolutions, and superior size, the brain of the sperm whale at 9,000 cc or the brain of the orca at 6,000 cc are the paragons of brain evolution on the Earth. By contrast, the human brain is 1,300 cc. And by point of interest, the brain of a Neanderthal was an average 1,500 cc. Apart from our collective ego as a species, the idea of an Earthling species more intelligent than ourselves is difficult to swallow. We measure intelligence in strictly human terms, based on those abilities that we as a species excel at. Thus we view hand-to-eye coordination as a highly intelligent ability. We build things; we make tools and weapons, manufacture vehicles, and construct buildings. We use our brains to focus our eyes to guide our hands to force our environment to conform to our desires or our will. Whales cannot or do not do any of the things we expect intelligent creatures to do. They do not build cars or spaceships, nor can they manage investment portfolios. Cetaceans do have built-in abilities like sonar that put our electronic sonar devices to shame. Sperm whales have even developed a sonic ray-gun, so to speak, allowing them to stun prey from a head filled with spermaceti oil to amplify and project a sonic blast. However, we expect an intelligent species to arrive in a spaceship armed with laser rayguns, bearing gifts of futuristic technologies. This is a fantasy that we can understand, that we yearn for. For us, technology is intelligence. Intelligence is not a naked creature swimming freely, eating fish, and singing in the sea. The whale is an organic submarine. A whale may not arrive in a spaceship, but it is itself a living submersible ship. All of its technology is internal and organic. We do not accept this. The human understanding of intelligence is material. The more superior the technology, the more superior the intelligence. Yet intelligence is relative; it evolves to fulfill the evolutionary needs of a species. All successful species are intelligent in accordance with their ecological position. In this respect, the intelligence of a crocodile or a whale, an elephant or a human is non-comparable. A complex intelligence exists within every sentient creature relevant to its needs. We as humans cannot begin to compare our elaborate intelligence to the complex intelligence of other creatures whose brains or nerves are designed for completely different functions in radically different environments. Most modern humans believe that we are vastly more intelligent compared to our ancestors of 75,000 years ago or even 10,000 years ago. Our technology is proof, is it not? The fact is that the brain of a person living today is identical in size and composition to that of our kind from tens of thousands of years ago. If you were to set Einstein's brain beside the brain of a cave-dweller of the Paleolithic era, you would not be able to find a single difference in size or complexity. Our technology is cumulative, the end product of millennia of trial and error. It is also exponential, and we now live in the time of the most rapid exponential growth. Individually, the average cave-dweller of the past could match the average citizen today in associative intelligence and would be as capable of learning. Our intelligence is also cultural, and the vast amount of information that we have at our disposal lies outside of ourselves as individuals. Apart from the community, we are severely limited in understanding or manipulating technologies. Left to our own resources on an undeveloped island, most of us would have absolutely no idea how to survive. We do not even have the knowledge to construct rudimentary stone tools or weapons. In this respect stone age humans would be our intellectual superiors. If we look at the comparative intelligences of species strictly on a morphological basis, judging all aspects on cortical structural development alone, we can assign an average associative score relative to human intelligence. Let's assign the average human brain a score equal to 100. This is the number we consider average on human Intelligence Quotient (IQ) tests. Based on associative skills as defined by the physiological structure of the comparative brains, we will find that a dog scores about fifteen, and a chimpanzee around thirty-five. These are scores that are comfortably within our understanding of intelligence. Based upon comparisons of cortical structure alone, a sperm whale would score 2,000. The truth of the matter is that we know absolutely nothing about what goes on in the brain of a whale or a dolphin. In our ignorance, we resort to the arrogance of denial and dismissal. We deny the physiological evidence and in general we have denied that other animals can think or even feel. We forget that all mammals have climbed the evolutionary ladder with us, and some, like the whale, started climbing that ladder tens of millions of years before we evolved from that apelike ancestor that we shared with the Neanderthal, the chimp, and the mountain gorilla. The whale has evolved in a different manner, its natural physical abilities giving it little cause to desire material baggage. The spear was not needed to get food -- the whale is one of the most efficient hunters in natural history. The whale's ability to travel, to communicate, to care for its young, and its complex social systems are all separate from external material acquisition. Whales have biologically evolved what we utilize technology to achieve. Technology is something that the whales have never needed. They contain all the assets needed for survival and development within their massive bodies and formidable brains. Humans are big-brained manipulators. Cetaceans and elephants are big-brained non-manipulators. The hominid brain grew in size from 450 cc to 1,300 cc over a period of only five million years. Cetaceans had already reached 690 cc in brain size some thirty million years ago and had developed to their present capacity well before our own evolutionary jump in brain development. Another major difference between the cetacean and human brain is the shape. The cranium of the whale evolved over millions of years to conform to the need for streamlined movement through the water. This need has shaped the brain, making it higher, but shortening the length front-to-back slightly. And this shape has resulted in a relatively thinner layering of the cortex that is more than compensated by the much greater surface area of the neocortex due to the tremendous in-folding of the convolutions. According to Pilleri and Gihr, dolphins, toothed whales, and primates have the most highly differentiated brains of all mammals, and Krays and Pilleri showed through electroencephalographical studies that the Amazon River dolphins have the highest degree of encephalization, much higher than primates. Construction of the cortex was found to be equal or superior to primates. Cetaceans are the most specialized mammalian order on the planet, and we see intelligence in dozens of species. By contrast, Homo sapiens are the sole surviving hominid. Humans may be the paramount tool-makers of the Earth, but the whale may be our paramount thinker. We can only imagine how a dolphin perceives the stars, but they may well do so better than we. Indeed, if the power of such an awesome brain could be utilized, travel to the stars might have already been achieved. The mind can travel to realms that rockets can never reach. Or perhaps they have already discovered that the ultimate destination of a voyager is to arrive back where it belongs -- in its own place within the universe. The desire to travel to the stars could very well be an aberration, a need within a species that has been ecologically deprived. Intelligent species here or else where in the universe may have determined that space travel is not the ultimate expression of intelligence. It may only be the ultimate expression of technology: technology and wisdom may be widely diverse expressions of different forms of intelligence. Intelligence can also be measured by the ability to live within the bounds of the laws of ecology -- to live in harmony with one's own ecology and to recognize the limitations placed on each species by the needs of an ecosystem. Is the species that dwells peacefully within its habitat with respect for the rights of other species the one that is inferior? Or is it the species that wages a holy war against its habitat, destroying all species that irritate it? What can be said of a species that reproduces beyond the ability of its habitat to support it? What do we make of a species that destroys the diversity that sustains the ecosystem that nourishes it? How is a species to be judged that fouls its water and poisons its own food? On the other hand, how is a species that has lived harmoniously within the boundaries of its ecology to be judged? It is an observable fact that whales and dolphins hold a special place in the hearts of human beings. We have had an affinity with them for years, recognizing in them something that it has been difficult to put a finger upon. What we do know is that they are different from other animals, apart from them in a manner that suggests a unique quality that we can intuitively recognize. That quality is intelligence. Recognizing this quality has profound moral responsibilities. How can humans continue to slaughter creatures of an equal or superior intelligence? The path toward the reality of interspecies communications between cetaceans and humans may lead us to the recognition that we have been committing murder. Utilizing the computer technology of our species in company with the linguistic and associative skills of cetaceans, we may be able to talk with these beings some day soon. The key is in understanding the different evolutionary developments within two completely different brains with uniquely developed sensory modalities. Imagine being able to see into another person's body, being able to see the flow of blood, the workings of the organs, and the flow of air into the lungs. Cetaceans can do this through echo-location. A dolphin can see a tumor inside the body of another dolphin. If an animal is drowning, this becomes instantly recognizable from being able to "see" the water filling the lungs. Even more amazing is that emotional states can be instantly detected. These are species incapable of deception, whose emotional states are open books to each other. Such biologically enforced honesty would have radically different social consequences from our own. Sight in humans is a space-oriented distance sense which gives us complex simultaneous information in the form of analog pictures with poor time discrimination. By contrast, our auditory sense has poor space perception but good time discrimination. This results in human languages being comprised of fairly simple sounds arranged in elaborate temporal sequences. The cetacean auditory system is primarily spatial, more like human eyesight, with great diversity of simultaneous information and poor time discrimination. For this reason, dolphin language consists of very complex sounds perceived as a unit. What humans may need hundreds of sounds strung together to communicate, the dolphin may do in one sound. To understand us, they would have to slow down their perception of sounds to an incredibly boring degree. It is for this reason that dolphins respond readily to music. Human music is more in tune with dolphin speech. Utilizing their skill at echo-location with elaborate detailed mental images of what they "see" through auditory channels, dolphins may be able to recreate and transmit images to each other. In other words, whereas our language is analog, cetacean language is digital. With the invention of the computer, we are now communicating with each other digitally, and this may be the key to unlocking the doors of perception into cetacean communication. The possibilities are fantastic. Instead of communicating across the vast expanse of space, we may be able to bridge the chasm between species. But we will not be able to say that "we come in peace." The tragic reality is that we will be speaking with species that we have slaughtered, enslaved, and abused. We can only hope that they will be forgiving of our ignorance. If so, the future holds a place for the exchange of knowledge, the secrets of the seas, alternative philosophies, and unique and different perspectives. I can envision the words of the whales translated into books. Instead of just listening to the music of whale song, we will be able to understand what the songs convey. This may open up new horizons in literature, poetry, music, and oceanography. In return, Moby Dick by Herman Melville might serve to show the whales that our species has come a long way toward peace between humankind and whalekind. The whales will learn the mysteries of the land and will be able to negotiate the release of members of their families that have been held captive for human amusement. Perhaps we can convince them that our species is not uniform in its evolution toward morality and understanding. If so, we may be able to convince them that our whalers are aberrations, throwbacks to our more barbaric origins and a collective embarrassment to our species. Most importantly, we will learn the lesson that we cannot presume to judge intelligence based upon our own preconceptions, prejudice, and cultural biases. In so doing, we will be able to understand that we share this Earth with millions of other species, all intelligent in their own manner, and all equally deserving of the right to dwell in peace on this planet that we all call our home -- this water planet with the strange name of Earth. ``They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent." -- D.H.

Energetski vampirizam oko nas

Energetski vampirizam mnogi promatraju kao krađu energije, ali tu nije riječ o krađi već o dobrovoljnom predavanju energije.  Najčešće su to bliske osobe kao što su djeca, roditelji i partneri, često i kolege sposla s kojima provodimo dosta vremena, ili osobe koje su se iz nekog razloga zalijepile za naše mentalno tijelo i često o njima razmišljamo. U nekim slučajevima, kada nas savladaju negativne emocije, ljutnja, bijes, strah, ljubomora, u naše energetsko polje se mogu useliti razni entiteti i astralni ostaci, gdje nastavljaju živjeti poput parazita, te hraneći se našom energijom prazne našu bateriju.

Zadržavanjem neke osobe u svom energetskom polju, bilo da su to misaoni ili emocionalni procesi, mi toj osobi predajemo svoju energiju u manjoj ili višoj mjeri. Bilo kakvo mišljenje, kontakt ili još više raspravljanje (ogovaranje) o nekome izvlači nam dragocjenu životnu energiju. Mi već odavno znamo da iz nekog razloga nije poželjno ogovarati nekoga, ali mnogi od nas ne znaju zbog čega je to tako.

Evo zašto…

Ogovaranjem drugih osoba prije svega pravimo karmički prestup. U polju svakog od nas postoje tamne energetske mrlje, odnosno nisko-frekventne vibracije naših negativnih osobina i grijeha, to su najčešće karmičke nakupine na koje se talože i svakodnevne negativnosti.  Osobe koje imaju puno negativnosti u sebi imaju više tih mrlja, što izbija iz njihovog pogleda, izraza lica i sveukupne pojavnosti, tako da je lako uočiti da osoba zrači nekom negativnošću. Međutim, mi nikada ne možemo znati šta neko nosi unutar sebe. Kada ogovaramo neku osobu, mi otvorimo svoje energetske kanale i povezujemo se energetski s tom osobom. S obzirom da je ogovaranje nisko-frekventna aktivnost koja ima negativnu energetsku pozadinu, mi raskopavamo svoj tamni energetski sadržaj i djelujemo iz njega, te u tom trenutku stvaramo silu privlačnosti za iste takve tamne sadržaje iz polja druge osobe i snažno ih privlačimo ka sebi, u svoje polje, dok pri tome nesvjesno čistimo polje osobe koju ogovaramo. Kod nas je uobičajena izjava: neću pričati o njemu, da mu perem grijehe! Ustvari, tako i jest. Ali mi ne znamo kakve grijehe neko nosi i šta mi ogovaranjem možemo privući sebi.
Pogledajmo osobe koje su poznate po kopanju po tuđim životima. Nijedna ne djeluje sretno i ispunjeno, naprotiv, kipe od nezadovoljstva i zlobe, ali to nije sve njihovo, ima tu dosta našeg “zla” koje smo im prepustili i preko tog crnila smo s njima u vezi i imamo razmjenu energije. Mi smo unutar sebe otvoreni za priključak samim posjedovanjem tih negativnih sadržaja, čime automatski dopuštamo razmjenu energije. Kada neko dirne u nas mi mu se sručimo na leđa sa svom svojom negativnošću i obrnuto. Ovo je univerzum tako podesio da nas zaštiti u situacijama kada nemamo nikakvu kontrolu niti mogućnost odbrane.
Znači, kopamo li mi po nečijem životu stvaramo privlačnost za isti model događaja i ponašanja koji osuđujemo. Sve se vraća i na kraju se spotaknemo o vlastitu glupost, neukost i neprosvijećenost.  Nekada se pitamo otkud nam odjednom neraspoloženje ili depresija, ne treba da nas čudi ako smo ulazili u bilo kakve misli ili rasprave o nekome. Ako nekoga smatramo lošom osobom ili negativcem, trebamo nastojati da što manje govorimo ili razmišljamo o njemu. Raspravljajući o njegovoj zlobi mi ulazimo u frekvenciju zlobe i lijepo podešavamo svoj prijemnik, pa ujedno gubimo svoj nevini, dječiji aureol i emitujemo energiju frustrirane i negativne osobe.  Zabranimo takvim mislima i osobama prilaz tako što ćemo stvoriti zlatno jaje oko sebe uvijek kada pokuša ući u naše polje i načeti naše misli. Ako nekoga ne možemo da odlijepimo  iz svog mentalnog polja, pošaljimo ga velikom gumenom praćkom u svemir i promatrajmo kako nestaje kao mala tačkica, a onda mu zatvorimo prilaz. Možemo vizualizirati zlatni ili srebrni štit, aktivni omotač koji struji oko našeg tijela  i sl.  Ubrzo će nam prestati izvlačiti energiju. Ovako se manifestiraju i magijski uticaji i djelovanje protiv nečije volje na njegov um, što imamo jaču i čistiju auru i manje tamnih energetskih mrlja, to smo spremniji obraniti se od ovakvih utjecaja. Aura se jako dobro čisti redovnom molitvom i meditacijom.

Kod vampirizma se često s jedne strane stvara ovisnost, kada  svoj izvor životne energije prebacimo u drugu osobu. To se javlja u bliskim odnosima, roditelji su naši najčešći vampiri koji nas nesvjesno čine ovisnima o sebi i izvlače energiju te postaju naš izvor životne energije. Oni su zakačeni za nas i čine nas ovisnim o svojim stavovima o nama, mišljenju o nekim stvarima, novcu  ili emocionalnim obrascima koje su nam nametnuli, te jako utiču na naša emocionalna raspoloženja. Cijeli život nas proganjaju njihove prognoze “od tebe nikada ništa neće biti…ti si nesposoban, ovakav, onakav…novca nema, neće ga nikada ni biti…ništa u životu ne pada s neba, za sve se treba naporno boriti”.
Većina nas nikada nije savladala fazu odvajanja od roditelja i samostalnosti, čime smo praktično pripremljeni za stvaranje ovisničkih odnosa, jer su roditelji ostali uštekani u naš priključak, te mentalna povezanost s njihovim pravilima nastavlja da izvlači našu energiju. Nas jako može umoriti boravak u blizini majke, jer je to jedna nesvjesna borba za energiju, posebno ako se naši životni stavovi bitno razlikuju od njenih. Kada postoji priključak tamo se odvija kaotična borba uvjerenja koja nastoje poništiti jedno drugo, pa nas taj proces prazni i rezultira osjećajem krivice i obaveze da isporučimo potrebnu količinu energije. Mi to možemo kompenzirati kroz materijalnu pomoć ili činjenjem usluge, ali nikada nećemo imati osjećaj da smo dali dovoljno i da smo dovoljno dobri. Kada smo samostalni i nezavisni, takvog protoka nema, te nema napetosti i neugode.

Ovisnost je posebno zastupljena u partnerskim odnosima u kojima svu svoju energiju prepuštamo partneru i postajemo ovisni o svakom njegovom pokretu, pozivu, rečenici, raspadamo se kada nešto nije u redu, ovakve veze su kao po pravilu pune ljubomore jer uvijek mora postojati nisko-frekventna emocija preko koje će se crpiti energija. Kada nas tako partner iscrpi da nema više što izvlačiti, mi ostajemo bez energije i nemamo više šta da pružimo, on nas napušta kao iscijeđenu krpu i pronalazi osobu punu entuzijazma i volje za životom u kojoj vidi novi izvor energije. Često su ove “punokrvne” osobe spas za brak u kome je s jedne strane iscijeđena krpa a s druge energetski vampir, jer partner prebaci fokus sa stalne partnerke i brak opstaje, inače bi se univerzum pobrinuo da se brak raspadne kako bi partnerka preživjela.

Kada se u nekom odnosu stalno ponavlja isti obrazac negativne energije kao što je ljubomora, tu postoji energetski vampirizam, gdje partner nesvjesno podstiče ljubomoru onog drugog kako bi se opskrbio energijom. Ljubomora se pogrešno tumači kao dokaz ljubavi, to je obrnuti proces – ljubav je izvor životne energije, a ljubomora je gubitak, curenje životne energije. Kada partneru treba takav “dokaz ljubavi”, on ustvari treba našu energiju i svjesno ili nesvjesno napravi određeni potez koji će podstaknuti našu ljubomoru i odvrnuti slavinu naše životne energije. Zapravo, mi ne gubimo energiju, ali je velikim dijelom prebacujemo u polje partnera i tako funkcioniramo privezani i ovisni jer nam je on neophodan kako bismo mogli funkcionirati. Međutim, mi često ne prepoznajemo da je došlo do ovisnosti, već to miješamo s ljubavlju. Veza može biti zdrava i uspješna jedino ako obje osobe zadrže dovoljan nivo samostalnosti i neovisnosti, odnosno imaju svoje samostalne interese, hobi, prijatelje i aktivnosti. Kada visimo na partneru kao gumb, mi smo propali slučaj, energetska nula. Podijelimo li tako svoju energiju na više strana, mi ličimo na izvor energije na koji je uštekano puno potrošača – majka, partner, suparnica, susjeda, kolega, neprijatelj, prijatelj i sl. Mi smo ovisni i svakome smo dopustili da rovari i useljava se u naš mentalni prostor odakle iznosi sve što mu je volja, svaka misao koju neko od njih iznese “ukrade” djelić naše energije, jer da bismo proizveli misao mi koristimo vlastitu energiju. Kada konstantno mislimo o nekoj stvari na koju smo fokusirani, npr. gradimo kuću ili kupujemo automobil, mi proizvedemo na  milione različitih misli i ideja koje nemilice rasipamo i pri tome smo jako umorni i iscrpljeni, nervozni, i na kraju više nismo sigurni da činimo pravi izbor. Zato je konstruktivno i usmjereno mišljenje najbolji način “štednje” energije. Kada jedan biznismen, multimilioner, ne bi imao jasan plan i fokus svog djelovanja, on bi načisto poludio, obolio i osiromašio od gubitka energije. Imati energiju znači biti bogat. Meditacija i joga su od neprocjenjive važnosti za trening uma i oslobađanje od suvišnih i neželjenih misli. Da bismo sačuvali i povratili energiju mi jednostavno trebamo biti u stanju ne-razmišljanja određeno vrijeme u tijeku svakog dana. U komunikaciji s drugima  neophodno je zadržati svoj unutarnji mir ako mislimo sačuvati vlastitu energiju. 

Pogledajmo jednu muzičku zvijezdu na sceni. Nijedna nema vlastitu energiju. Svakoj je potrebna publika da joj preda energiju, pa da se pokrene. Kada se pokrene, ona emituje ono što je od publike dobila, jer je samo kanal, dobar prenosnik, zbog određenih psiho-fizičkih osobina. Zato su ove osobe izvan scene totalno nesređene, nesretne, beživotne i sklone narkomaniji, alkoholu, tabletama.  One žive samo kada su na sceni. Slušanje određene muzike, gledanje filmova, praćenje medija, reklama i sl. je takođe energetski vampirizam, mi smo stalno izloženi izvlačenju energije na način da je dobrovoljno predajemo kako bismo oživjeli  projekat kome je potrebna životna energija, zato činimo bogatim one koji osmišljavaju i realiziraju takve projekte, jer kao što sam rekla – imati energiju znači biti bogat. Novac je energija i srazmjeran je količini naše životne energije. Država je pravi energetski vampir koji nam izvlači novac kroz poreze i živi tipični parazitski način života, držeći nas u uvjerenju da nam je neophodan tamo neko ko  najbolje zna šta je dobro za nas. S obzirom da su nas roditelji već pripremili na takav ovisnički odnos, mi poslušno i dobrovoljno predajemo energiju. Zauzvrat dobivamo ono što smo emitirali i zato se kaže “narod ima vođu kakvog zaslužuje”, jer su vođe direktan produkt energije kojom su se nahranili.
