Doom Boom Gloom

Many stories of human endeavour upon deeper investigation reveal the following qualities:

1. Entrapment and suffering.
2. Catch-22.
3. Impending deluge, death.

The mind's conclusions are often much more severe than what actually unfolds.

"Learn to look without analysis, conclusions". Nisargadatta Maharaj.

Even the 3 points mentioned above are nothing more than a perspective. Situations are as they are. It's our mental projections into the future that judge these situations.

Anything, if looked at through the 'Mental Lens' of the future, or past, is at the risk of appearing morbid or negative.

Dealing With Stress

The only cause of stress is too much thought activity...

These stress relieving videos are based on the 'Golden Ratio', a number (1.61803399) that has fascinated philosophers/mathematicians for almost 2500 years.



The 'Golden Ratio' has fascinated mathematicians/philosophers/architects for almost 2500 years. Pythagoras and Euclid, astronomer Johannes Kepler, Oxford physicist Roger Penrose, to name a few.





And some more.....










And this Eckhart Tolle video explains how to pull attention from the mind, into the body.

As attention is pulled into the body, thoughts slow down.

It rejuvinates.



"Not Reacting To Content", when combined with the above exercise, would be very powerful.
