A very good response. I appreciate all the contents.
When a response appears in the group, I assume it is for reading of group
members. I will appreciate, if some group members not so, at least correct
themselves. I do not mean any specific member

Beautiful explanation.
Overweight is not only for the body but also is for the mind, what with the
unnecessary thoughts, remembrances, hatred, jealousy etc.
But there is also a seemingly contradictory saying " an idle mind is a devil's
paradise" but mind should be trained to focus on the positives so the
vibration it generates benefits all.Of course, positive thoughts don't mean
showing the other cheek always. That is weakness, foolishness and self
destructive, in my opinion.
Communicating with the nature may be the reason why our sages retired to the
forests, mountains, and other remote places as these provide ideal surroundings
to contemplate.
Excellent post and response.
Thanks and regardsN Sekar

BENEFITS OF UNLEARNING orTHE BENEFITS OF REDUCING MENTAL
OBESITY.
Just as the body craves for food, often excessively, and often as a habit too,
the mind also craves for all kinds of information, not only far in excess of
necessity but also by habit; and through learnings for learnings' sake and by
the mind's habit of seeking occupation all through the time when one is awake.
As one grows, and with some introspection, one would realise that one's mind
has become heavy with accumulated information from many sources such as
education, upbringing, culture, entertainments, religion, rituals, ideologies,
etc. Add to this heaviness, the weight of (sanskaras) retained impressions of
experiences, and memories thereof, of both pain and pleasure, the mind can be a
very heavy burden on itself.
Thinking too is predominantly a habit or we soon indulge in thoughts as a habit
and such thoughts feed more and more to the above described burden.
Unnecessary mental accumulations soon turn into mental garbage.
Unnecessary talks and discussions can also be major sources of these garbage
accumulation.
By being aware of these phenomena and their processes and the ever expanding
external sources of information cramming, and by practices such as nipping each
unnecessary thought as it arises, and desisting from seeking and absorbing all
kinds of information like a sponge, we can unburden the mind by what can be
generally called 'UNLEARNING'.
There is a saying in critical medicine - "As long as the body eliminates, there
is hope." This applies to the mind too.
The end result of 'UNLEARNING' should be seen to be experienced and to have a
very light mind to give us a state of being marked by peace and bliss.

MarUnlearning-Vs-Learning
Iam now trying to converse with flowers, by adopting the language of nature—the
air,which carries the smell messages and smell responses. I want to adopt
themethod of communicating by inhaling messages and exhaling responses. I want
toexperience the common language of all the organisms, of the Biosphere as a
whole.If I succeed, then I bring into discourses the voices of many organisms,
andnot the bogged down discourses of the humans only. Then I understand
thelanguage of nature, of Geography immediately, and of Cosmology ultimately.
Ihave one big advantage. I have been recognized as a dullard, a below average
student,and so I do not have too much of knowledge burden to unlearn. The
language of nature,smelling and sensing has a completely different alphabet, of
smell words, phrases,clauses and sentences.
ASage tries to team up with nature to learn. Often he enters the arena of great
understanding,but he cannot explain, because there are no word identifications
in ourlanguages that translate the ‘smell-sense words’, of the Biosphere as a
whole.There is a gigantic language divide between the human and nature.
Thegreat abstract world of the Microcosm, which rules the perception of
everyorganism of the Biosphere excepting the human, in the shape of
directinteraction with nature, through smelling, sensing and understanding,
thelanguage of Gaia or the planet earth, is prejudiced and denigrated by the
humanfool. For him all other organisms do not matter as far as contemplation
andconsultation is concerned, and that he alone is the most intelligent in the
Biosphere.He has made himself the lunatic specie; specie just like a chronic
lunaticbelieves that he alone is superior. And he is continuing in his own
drift,endangering every life form.
Theyare now experimenting with mice, by injecting false memories, into their
Hippocampus.The Hippocampus in the Brain, records experiences into memories,
and thememories help in recognizing and in living. If false memories are
injected,successfully, they become the false memory guides of living. Imagine
asituation where false memories or techno memories, subjects as memories
aredirectly injected in to the Hippocampus. Imagine the present situation
ofkleptocracies, bluffing that they are democracies, though we now see
Thievesand criminals as rulers.Kleptocracy means the rule by thieves, for
thieves andof thieves.
Wehave to discover the language of the Biosphere very urgently, before the
robberrulers destroy everything.
