Freudian erotic slip
From the time of Aristotle it has been observed that all men with great minds also had developed great libidos and all men of stature were men who had interconnectedness between, heart, mind and groin. Even in Hindu philosophy echoes of this insight are described, when it states that” knowledge is always enveloped by desire”. And only when the desire is satiated and disappears can actual Nirvana happen. Both Freud’s “death instinct” and Jung’s “transformation” touch on the primordial libidinous instinct.
Sabina Spielrein a not very well known psychoanalyst conceived and conjoined the above two theories to arrive at the concept that sexual drive contains both an instinct of destruction and transformation. This also brings into focus the oedipal relationship between men of stature and their protégés. The clandestine relationship between Jung and Sabina, who was his student and patient clearly highlights the many other such relationships which have been observed.
Does it mean that many of us strongly repress this urge/desire to possess,(due to societal rules) which tries to escape from our mind and liberate the libido with pleasure; This is loosely termed the sex drive to cover it up with an air of genteel generality, a very strong erotic impulse genetically engineered and embedded in our minds in a sort of psycho sexual violence.It is the mind that controls our limbs and appendages, right from the time of the Neanderthal man to Homoerectus (pun intended). All human desire needs to be clothed with dignity,despite evolution one moral is, the more things change, the more they remain the same.--Juxtaposed and Trans created from links for stimulation.-Vinay-

Prayer.
An unpleasurable state of mind, combining an intense need for activity with a lack of purpose; In prayer, excitation is experienced but its aim has been forgotten. The environment may be shunned in an effort to relieve the excitation through fantasy. More likely, however, the religious environment is sought in the hope that relief will come through some chance encounter with a purpose similar to the one forgotten. Religious persons pass from situation to situation like someone who has misplaced a valuable possession and inquires incessantly for its whereabouts, but the discovery of purpose has the disadvantage of responsibility. Hence, the religious environment is enlisted for gratification-unknown aims cannot be gratified-but for continued diversion and distraction of the realities of life; one can close ones eyes and pray. -Unmuzzled –Vinay-
A Fine Madness.
In fact all of us are lunatics in our own way and can always be called mad because of our own delusional dreams. A fine madness is inherent in all of us, and it may not lead to us being certified and put into a looney bin.
Madness is defined as a grossly inaccurate sense of reality. When people don’t understand you they label you and as mad/crazy and expect that one day you will go over the bend.
In reality if you sit down and analyze your delusion you will realize that you thoughts are rather sane and profound.
Life often brings you face to face with ethical and moral dilemmas to breakthrough you have to create your own intelligence, otherwise if you don’t follow the herd you will be labeled as crazy and might have a breakdown. When we doubt the sanity of others then we reinforce our own certainty and truth and bounce back to our own philosophy.
Many saints also revel in their own madness which may seem strange to those who have not explored or attained their sense of enlightenment. Society itself is a collective madness filled with their own hubris and societal sense of right and wrong. One mans illusion is another mans reality.

Instant Martyrdom!From a Sinner to a Saint!
There’s a new breed of consultants and head hunters called “crisis counselors” fuelling a new industry vertical. Life is a war, Doctors fight disease, Lawyers fight injustice, and Crisis counselors fight to alleviate human misery! When you are depressed at night, thinking of your economic plight, wars, unemployment, jobs, savings, social security retirement funds and when life becomes too difficult to go on … just call the “Suicide Hotline” and the call will be routed to a call centre in Pakistan or Afghanistan. They will be eager and excited to help, their job is to extend support to the depressed, and the only qualification you may require is the ability to drive a truck real fast.
These N.G.O’s are the new “growth industry”, religiously motivated terrorism seems to be the latest fad. The last decade has witnessed 188 Kamikaze type attacks, mostly motivated by religion. These bombings are a sort of “deadly rites of passage” used by political puppeteers in religious garb to manipulate vulnerable youth. These youth need not put their “heart” and “soul” into their new vocation, as their employer already owns them. Isn’t it a paradox that religion which is supposed to teach you compassion and being merciful to mankind, has a dark side where the sinister blind faith of religion subverts the very essence and tenets of the scriptures?
Using religion to transform a political struggle into a divine mission with moral legitimacy and eternal rewards of martyrdom is the ultimate hype. The brain washed youths, are used as cannon fodder deemed as worthy of self sacrifice, and acting in God like fashion these men take upon themselves the authority to terminate the lease of life on these young unsuspecting souls in the pretext of everlasting salvation. What are the famous last words these youth tell their parents, regarding their job status and prospects, before embarking on their mission?” “I will buy you a house and dress you in mourning”??

Back to nature
Based in matricide, the death of all nature and utter exploitation of women the western culture has now run itself into the ground. There is no other way, but to return to the cosmic Mother who gave us life, if we are to survive and attune to the spirits of nature. We must listen to the “whispers” of our ancestors who speak to us from the realms of the netherworld.
Our stubborn struggle too is organic. Earth alone among the known planets wills life repeatedly from her own cold winter. Travels through conscious nights and days of her own orbit; bombarded by meteors, doubts, the terrific noise of time and human traffic. She is solitary and 5 billion years old, all of us together, earth of us brief and alone, travel with her, her survival story is ours. -Cosmic Mother earth-

It is a jungle out there, and it is no less true about spiritual life than any other aspect of life. Do we really think that just because someone has been meditating for five years, or doing 10 years of yoga practice, that they will be any less neurotic than the next person? At best, perhaps they will be a little bit more aware of it. A wee little bit.
I am an Atheist; prisoner only of my love, but in all else I'm free, in every judgement, every passion.!
I rebelled against those itty-bitty religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism…all derivatives of the big religion of patriarchy, finally I found peace in Alcoholism! I urge you to Sin …against the infrastructure itself.
