Your posts seem to be mainly "moodmaking".   -----I agree, much of the good in the world follows emotion and/or moods.  Wow, proper mood is often the antidote to many evils that plague us.  Ever woke up in a bad mood? Treated people mean most of the day, caused a lot of bad feelings, many of which persisted to this time? People maybe still treating you like shit, because you once pissed in their coffee. If one could antidote their badness then they would have better responses from those around them, and in return get more good moods from others and then have a more upbeat life.   Mood isn't everything but it's very important.  I'll never forget one day when I was in a rage.  I just felt suicidal and hostile.  So I said fuck it and did my very short Chod practice from Troma's Laughter. The simple three page practice totally flipped my mood and pacified my mind. Then I just felt so much better. It's not that anything at all had changed in my life but merely that I had reordered my existance from inside out.  I had put the demons back in their place. I had returned the tricky genie of my attachment back to the bottle.   Mood isn't everything but it's very important.  In fact, had Maharishi taken this into account, and had utilized the age old techniques of songs of devotion before his talks and so on and recreated a certain respectful bhava within the Movement then people would much more likely have stuck around longer. Devotion is a mood, especially at first. A mood of caring and love for the topic and its speaker.  What is the reverse? Fear instilled by the topic and its speaker until one has a callous made of the mood of fear and hate.  This fear then is also a mood, but also a vritti which will prevent further deeper levels of internal silence from ever occuring. It's much easier to transcend on a pure devotional bhava than on an impure fearful bhava. Which is why the bhakti also yogas.   One needs to make the break from all aspects of the discursive mind in order to break vritti, burn karmic seeds and basically transcend. If the mind is conditioned through lifetimes of fear and hate to recreate those feelings over and over then no peace will ever be had.   It depends not who or what the reason for their occurance, they are not healthy. People have indulged the mood of selfishness forever, how about trying the mood of generosity?  When one experiences clinging attachment in the mind then one should know that what one really feels is the lack of positive self worth. No ideal relationship can be built upon that cllinging attachment and lack of self worth. If the real guru is a friend for more than one life then he will return again. No clinging attachment is necesary. This clinging attachment and self fear and lack that are the very enemies of the tantric. No real tantric is defined by or through such feelings or bad moods. But quite the contrary, a real guru frees one from such internal dualities and returns one to their internal home in -it's-all-good-ville.   Because life is all good. It's a gift of the greatest and most mystical sort. The notion that this world itself is evil or bad or wrong is a serious mental mistake in understanding of the very source of life as divinity. One can't rise above internal dualism and see through to the Creator without mood making the positive bhava as an antidote to the evil of the self clinging and internal fear that is the real source of all mankind made wars and tribulations.   A little positivity goes a long way. That's no mood after all but simple fact. Glory to the Positive.     To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
