Human Evolution: Clearing out the deadwood - developing the body - tuning the mind - accessing the spirit
The Human Mind
DRAHLA
Whilst
most of our friends and colleagues
force
their minds to dwell on the news, current affairs and football, we are
all aware that this is just the side-show. Total absorption in the
side-show
precludes observation of, and participation in, the main event.
Like
most main events, the vast majority
of
souls
are merely spectators, with the action being determined by a few major
players behind closed doors, who then stage a carefully orchestrated
show
in order to demonstrate to everybody that they are watching the real
thing.
That
is as much as we wish to say about
the
sideshow.
We
now wish to promote the main event,
and we
are going to do this through drahla.
Drahla
is a Tibetan word, which is best
translated
as "goodness". Our plan is to spread goodness around the planet, and we
plead for your energetic participation. For those of our readers who
have
visited Our House, the game is already familiar, and is called
D R
A
H L A
This
game originated in Tibet, as can be
noted
from the name - it is the kind of game used by lamas for centuries.
All
we have to do is to make a little
effort
to
identify those tiny uplifting moments which occasionally lighten our
heart
- the sight of a kitten sleeping, or the sunlight reflecting on
the
early morning haze, or the sound of children laughing... We are about
to
start a new life, where we concentrate only on the good things, and
every
time we spot a good thing, we are going to say, out loud, so that
everybody
can hear, "D R A H L A". We will be contributing our bit to the
uplifting
of the planetary aura, and contributing a tiny fraction towards the
healing
of the planet and its people.
Our dream is that we can walk down a street,
and hear several people say "D R A H L A". If only half of the people
found
only one pleasant moment per day, then we would still have three
billion
D R A H L A S per day. Therefore, at Our House, whenever we
notice
a small piece of goodness we say, out loud, "D R A H L A". This brings
one person's good feeling to the attention of all present, and allows
us
all to share in the same good feelings. By adopting this method of
saying
Drahla, we all get to share in more good feelings each day, thus
uplifting
our average mood.
Recurrent
drops in mood, created by bad
news,
or someone's unfortunate circumstances, or fear of impending problems,
or sickness or boredom or loneliness, or guilt all lead to the creation
of blockages in our otherwise healthy energy system.
The
yogic answer is to be able to hold
consciousness
above the level of trivia, but for most of us, achieving a glimpse of a
higher consciousness occasionally is what we strive for.
Meanwhile,
while the world around us is
up and
down like a prostitute's underwear, we are trying to maintain a steady
balance of mood, so that we can be in control of our thoughts and
actions.
Once we allow our energies to be swirled about by the haphazard world
around
us, then our balance is gone, and we fall asleep at the side show
again,
along with all of our associates.
Every
time we say or hear "D R A H L A",
then
we are able to draw a deep breath and remember the difference between
reality
and illusion.
So
we therefore plead for your help in
lifting
the planet out of its present deep rut. If everyone who reads this
manages
a couple of "D R A H L A S" per day, and manages to forward this
message
to a couple of other goodness-loving people, then we might just add
enough
weight to get this whole consciousness change rolling. What do you
think?
