back to De'mello

Anotny DeMello is brutal :-D
I read Awareness couple of years ago, I just loved it. I recommended it to one and all. I forwarded the pdf, asked them to buy the book, shared the videos etc etc.
I am back to Anthony again after 2 years, Offcourse he is awesome, he is totally worth all the fuss I made about it. He is a wakeup call,  but of the kick in the butt types :D Only this time I am seeing it. He is brutal, He is cutting you to pieces :D I offcourse still love it, but I can see others less objective(less cynical ;)  may be offended. I m somewhat thankful lot of people - actually no one except P read it. P didnt like him one bit and I wondered why.
What we read and what impact it has on us is totally dependent on the state of mind at that point of  time . brain state = past experiences, mental patterns and blocks. I  saw a very loving and uplifting book,  I had a pdf which didnt even have a name on it. I had no clue when I started reading what It was, but as I read it, I could feel that floating feeling you get with some spiritual books which banish the darkness temporarily. atleast a two month high I must have got.
Dont trust anyone he says, everyone is selfish, Just like you are. You dont love anyone he says, u love only the glorified image of that person in your heart! so true so true.  He doesnt mean to be insulting or hurtful, he is just saying it objectively, like in social psychology - Those bystanders who watched and let a girl be stabbed to death ,they say are just like me, they are not cowards or bad people, they are just normal asleep people just like me. same to same.
You dont want to wake up he says, but wake up wake up wake up. How loving he is, in being so brutal. :-D I love that book :D

Well at this point in life, I know what all I need to know, Ive read what all I have to read, psychology, brain stuff, spiritual stuff,artistic stuff, meditation stuff. I am actually saturated. not much else to read without it being repetitive. So..  enough stalling, Now there is not much else to do..but to do! TO DO! hmmm... but do I want to do? :D

bedrooms


Is the idea of having a room solely for sleeping stupid?
we are a bunch of sheep, arent we? we all have bedrooms fancy bathrooms. Bathrooms have to be really nice. Why? because some western company saw a way to make money sometimes after WW2?
Do you remember the bathrooms and houses in early 80's? not more than 3X5 feet. Clean and neat yes but fancy.. why? just because we have money no?
Who had the luxury of bedrooms? There were big halls which were used for living in the day and sleeping in the night. and as for bathrooms?
at least bedroom is 8 hours per day but bathroom - 15 mins per person (if you spending more, u are vain or a pervert).  We are a crazy sheep civilisation. we are cutting down forests and heating up earth and we are wasting rooms by keep a permanent bed in it which we use just at the night!
 Most of our houses itself are empty most of the time and rest of the time we are sleeping. so may be it makes sense to have rooms for bed but why have a living room ;-)
