NBC Hails Cuba's Removal from Terrorism List; 'Another Remnant of the Cold War Fell Away'
By Curtis Houck | April 15, 2015 2:51 AM EDT
Hours after President Obama moved to strike Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, Tuesday's NBC Nightly News cheered the decision by the President as "another historic step" and "another remnant of the Cold War" tumbling down.
Interim anchor Lester Holt began with the announcement that "[w]e are witnessing tonight another historic step in thawing relations between the U.S. and Cuba" with "[t]he White House announcing that President Obama will remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism."
Holt then tossed over to senior White House correspondent Chris Jansing, who took things a step further and proclaimed that "[a]nother remnant of the Cold War fell away this afternoon" with the President's message to Congress (as they have 45 days to reject the deal with a veto-proof majority before it becomes official).
Jansing continued by adding that the "decision to remove them gives substance to the symbolism of the weekend's historic handshake between President Obama and Raul Castro" and "paves the way for the opening of embassies and could mean some significant new economic opportunities for both countries."
Making no mention that Cuba's a communist state, she cited a few excerpts from the President's message and the slim chances that there's a veto-proof majority to override the President. Jansing also mentioned that the decision has "vocal opponents" and include Republican presidential candidate and Republican Senator Marco Rubio (Fla.).
ABC's World News Tonight also covered Obama's decision, but did so in the form of a 34-second news brief. Anchor David Muir told viewers that the President was "making good on that promise" he had made over the weekend during a meeting with Cuban dictator Raul Castro that it was "time to turn the page" and reestablish relations with the communist country.
Also, Muir found time to remind viewers of his excursion to Cuba in January (masquerading as a news report from Havana):
You'll remember our trip to Cuba, after our exclusive interview with the President on Cuba. So many of the children there telling us they'd never even seen an iPhone. The move paves the way to open embassies in both countries and making it easier for Cuba to do business with American banks.
Similarly, the CBS Evening News devoted just a single news brief to the story. Lasting for 28 seconds, anchor Scott Pelley reported the following:
Four days after that historic handshake with Raul Castro, President Obama took another step today toward normalizing relations with Cuba. The White House said he's removing Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Cuba first made that list in 1982, but the announcement today said the communist nation has not provided support for terrorism in the last six months and has promised not to do so in the future.
The transcript of the segment from April 14's NBC Nightly News can be found below.

[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE CAPTION: Off the Terror List]
LESTER HOLT: We are witnessing tonight another historic step in thawing relations between the U.S. and Cuba. The White House announcing that President Obama will remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Senior White House correspondent Chris Jansing joins us tonight from the White House with more on this. Chris?
CHRIS JANSING: Good evening, Lester. Another remnant of the Cold War fell away this afternoon. Cuba has been on that list of state sponsors since 1982, and today's decision to remove them gives substance to the symbolism of the weekend's historic handshake between President Obama and Raul Castro. It paves the way for the opening of embassies and could mean some significant new economic opportunities for both countries. In his message to Congress today, he said, quote, Cuba "has not provided any support for international terrorism" over the last six months and "has provided assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future." Now, the move does have vocal opponents, including just announced presidential candidate Marco Rubio, who tonight says it's a terrible decision. Congress now has 45 days to review Cuba's removal from the list, but it is unlikely to block it. Lester?
HOLT: Chris Jansen tonight at the White House, thanks.

My laboratory studies plasticity and neural adaptation in mesocorticolimbic systems. We have focused on the nucleus accumbens (NAc) due to its involvement in addiction and certain symptoms of schizophrenia (i.e., sensorimotor gating deficits), but we are currently developing strategies for elucidating caudate dysfunction which may afford a more unified model of etiology in schizophrenia. Furthermore, the lack of plasticity and consequent behavioral rigidity which this model attributes to caudate dysfunction are common features of other neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette syndrome. This work is interdisciplinary, involving cellular and molecular neurobiology and neuropsychopharmacology, and translational by nature, permitting the extension of our basic research findings into potential therapies for neuropsychiatric disorders.

Molecular and genetic substrates of neuropsychiatric disorders
Our recent studies examine mechanisms underlying sensorimotor gating deficits which are altered by stress or drug treatment. Sensorimotor gating deficits underlie thought disorder and sensory flooding in patients with schizophrenia, and they can be rigorously quantified in human and animal subjects by measuring prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle responses. We discovered that repeated treatment with selective dopamine D2-like receptor agonists completely reverses sensorimotor gating deficits in rats. Furthermore, functional recovery lasts for weeks after termination of treatment, and blocks deficits produced by phencyclidine and other non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonists. The mechanism underlying recovery involves heterologous sensitization of cAMP signaling in the NAc; we observed up-regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and enhanced phosphorylation of the transcription factor cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), which is required for recovery of sensorimotor gating. We also used adeno-associated viral gene transfer to determine that deltaFosB expression in NAc neurons is necessary for recovery of sensorimotor gating. Further characterization is ongoing to determine how this subset of neurons causes or reverses behavioral symptoms.
Sensorimotor gating deficits also serve as an endophenotype amenable to genetic analysis. We utilized prepulse inhibition to determine putative sensorimotor gating genes in consomic (chromosome substitution) mouse strains in collaboration with colleagues at the MIT/Harvard Broad Institute. Thus far, we have identified chromosome 16 as a putative locus, along with two genes that are differentially expressed and map to a suggestive sensorimotor gating QTL in consomic mice. One of these is the D3 receptor gene, supporting our hypothesis that D3 receptor-related neuroadaptation regulates recovery of sensorimotor gating.
Neuronal and neurochemical effects of stress and psychostimulant drugs
Various reinforcing drugs as well as stress exposure are known to induce dopamine release in the NAc. We have shown that repeated exposure to a salient social stressor in rats leads to the development of sensorimotor gating deficits, and is associated with induction of FosB expression in NAc, amygdala and limbic frontal cortex. We have shown that
We plan to investigate the causative influence of this persistent cortical Fos expression on NAc dopamine by overexpression of δFosB or a dominant negative inhibitor of δFosB under the control of a tetracycline-regulated gene expression system. These and other persistent changes in specific forebrain circuits may represent the substrate by which stress triggers the onset or relapse of schizophrenia symptoms in humans.
Repeated exposure to a salient social stressor in rats causes behavioral cross-sensitization to psychostimulants. We showed that chronic social stress exposure induces transient expression of functional mu-opioid receptors in the ventral tegmental area which increases mesolimbic dopamine tone. Further studies revealed that subsequent induction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor may underlie the eventual transition to long-lasting drug cross-sensitization. We are currently examining the selective intracellular signaling mechanism responsible for stress-induced cross-sensitization.
A cognitive neuroscience approach to schizophrenia
Neuroimaging studies of schizophrenia have identified deficits in various brain regions (e.g., prefrontal, temporal and occipital cortex), hippocampus, thalamus, striatum, and others. The diversity of these regions and the breadth of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia suggests a pervasive disorder. Alternatively, a more parsimonious explanation might be that deficits in critical striatal neurochemistry could alter neural response to produce widespread symptoms.
We are developing a testable model of caudate involvement in positive symptoms of schizophrenia. The basis of this model is that limbic, motor and cognitive striatum are connected via parallel circuits which originate and terminate in various cortical regions. Just as putamen regulates the initiation of motor activity and the generation of motor patterns, we propose that caudate regulates the initiation of cognitive activity (i.e., thoughts) and generation of cognitive patterns (i.e., beliefs). Thus, dysfunction caused by excessive dopamine in caudate may lead to abnormal thoughts or beliefs related to specific cortical regions, thereby producing hallucinations or delusions, the hallmarks of psychosis. Furthermore, reduced glutamatergic stimulation of caudate would enhance this effect, and deficient glutamate-associated plasticity would promote behavioral rigidity and "fixed" cognitive patterns observed in schizophrenia. Ongoing experiments assess cortical response to intracranial manipulation of relevant receptors in rat caudate to demonstrate the putative substrate of these effects.

The romantic comedy series "Shopaholic Louis" revolves around a handsome shopaholic named Louis, who is the scion to a vast business empire but becomes homeless after suffering from amnesia. Meanwhile, Koh Bok-shil, a country girl who lives a life that is worlds apart from the rich and famous, encounters Louis in Seoul. The improbable romance that unfolds between the two characters named Louis, who is able to buy everything he wants, and the angelic girl named Koh Bok-shil, shows the viewers that the value of true love is priceless and is not something that can be bought.
He lost his parents in a car crash at a young age so his overprotective grandmother doted on him, giving him a sheltered life. Living under constant protection led him to turn to shopping as an outlet for his boredom. With a limitless amount of money and a talent in spotting the latest fashion trends, Louis becomes a shopaholic. When he returns to Korea after being away for 15 years, he suffers amnesia in an accident and becomes homeless. While living in the street, Louis is taken care of by Bok-shil, a charming country girl who just arrived in the big city. Hence, Louis and Bok-shil starts living together in an unexpected turn of events.
She grew up in a village in Gangwon province where there was no electricity and supported her family by gathering medicinal herbs and wild edible greens in the nearby forest. She is a cheerful, hardworking person with a big heart and known as the icon of positivity. She goes to the big city to find her brother who ran away from home. One day, she comes across a beggar who is wearing Bok-nam's (her brother) clothes and after befriending him, she ends up as his caretaker. This decision puts financial pressure on her because now she has two mouths to feed.
Cha Jung-won is a general manager at Goldline, the online retailing arm of Gold Group, the largest retailer in the nation. He is as menacing as the fashion editor-in-chief character that appears in "The Devil Wears Prada." He was the brains behind a slew of hit products in retail and known for his charismatic, cold-hearted words. As the godfather of the retail and distribution industry, he is an experienced industry veteran. He has a high self-esteem which goes well with his talent. As a workaholic, he shows no interest in women.
She has the cover girl look and glamour from fashion magazines. At work, she is competent in what she does, displays impeccable fashion sense and women admire her for her professionalism and kindness. However, this is just her molded image that she planned. After she encounters country girl Koh Bok-shil who works at the same department store, her whole life starts to unravel. Seeing how Bok-shil attracts the very man that she wants to marry, she is consumed with jealousy and malice. She slowly loses her patience, revealing her true colors.

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2: Premium at a better price (and better battery life?)
Samsung's new Chrome OS 2-in-1, announced ahead of CES 2021, brings the price down without sacrificing style.
Joshua Goldman
Jan. 10, 2021 11:04 a.m. PT
This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon.
The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook is a beautiful 13.3-inch Chrome OS two-in-one with a gorgeous 4K-resolution AMOLED display and a strong Intel Core i5 processor. It's also $1,000 and has a relatively short battery life compared to some of its less costly competition. For its second go-round, the Galaxy Chromebook 2, Samsung made some feature tweaks to bring the price down -- and hopefully improve battery life -- while keeping the same premium look and feel of the original.
Announced ahead of CES 2021, the new model will be the first with a 13.3-inch QLED display with 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution, which can be found on a couple of Samsung's Windows 10 laptops. This change alone should help battery life, but Samsung also dipped down to configurations using either an Intel 10th-gen Core i3-10110U or Celeron 5205U processors.
The Celeron configuration, which also has 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage, is expected to sell for $550, while the Core i3 model with twice the memory and storage will be $700. Those prices convert to approximately £400 and £515 for the UK, and AU$710 and AU$900 for Australia.

Much of the rest of the package remains the same as the original, including a sub-3-pound weight (1.2 kg), a slim aluminum chassis, a backlit keyboard and a color-matched touchpad. You'll also find two USB-C ports, a headphone jack and a microSD card slot.
What you won't find is one of Samsung's S Pens. While the company's slim active pen is included with the first-gen model, Samsung removed it in favor of USI pen support. Also gone is the world-facing camera from above the Galaxy Chromebook's keyboard. Both seem like acceptable sacrifices to bring down the price.

Leonardo Bonucci: Links to Chelsea are 'just gossip'
Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has admit speculations linking him with Chelsea are purely media rumours.
The 30-year-old has been linked with a move to London to his former coach Antonio Conte. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is also a well-known admirer for the Italian, but Bonucci has four years left to run on his contract in Turin.
Bonucci agent is reported to have been spotted in London, but when asked about that his visit to London, Bonucci told reporters: "It's just gossip from you."
The Blues are reported to be willing to offer him as much as €55 million, who agreed new terms with the Bianconeri only last December, when he was already being linked with a move to the Premier League.
After a clash with Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri earlier this year, Bonucci ruled out leaving Turin before the end of his contract in 2021.
"I don't know if Allegri will move to the Premier League, but I am going to be a part of this club until 2021," Bonucci said in March. "It is therefore up to the club if they want to keep me or send me away, but I hope to honour my contract."
However, the following month he suggested that he could still be open to a move to England, saying the Premier League "fascinates" him and that Pep Guardiola's praise was "nice." Meanwhile, teammate Giorgio Chiellini backed Bonucci to stay with Juve next season.
"I'll bet anything you want on Leo staying at Juve," Tuttosport reports Chiellini as saying.
"We can't deprive ourselves of a player like him. I'm certain he's still going to be one of the pillars of Juve."

Q: Square Pair numbers So i've been attempting this problem for the last few days and have no luck. I am tasked to find square pairs from 1 to x.

Num1 + Num2 = a perfect square (i.e. 2 + 2 = 4. 16 + 20 = 36)
Num2 - Num1 = a perfect square. (i.e. 2 - 2 = 0. 20 - 16 = 4)

I've been getting closer to a result, but for the life of me can not figure out whats going wrong in my loops.
for example: this is my latest approach:
Function to test if a number is a perfect square:
bool isSquare(int num){
    if(num < 0)
        return false;
    int root = round(sqrt(num));
    return num == root * root;
}

main:
int num1 = 1; num2 = 2;
int tempP, tempM;
for(int i = 1; i <= number; i++){
    for(int j = 1; j <= num1; j++){
        tempP = num1 + num2;
        tempM = num2 - num1;
        if(isSquare(tempP) && isSquare(tempM)){

            cout << num1 << "\t" << num2 << "\t" << tempP << "\t" << tempM << endl;
        }
        num2++;

    }
    num1++;
}

for some reason my output (regardless of how big 'int number' is) is limited to one row. My other tests(such as having the second loop go until j <= number) end with my num1s repeating themselves, num2s going past number, and printing every number until it stops.
I have no idea where to go next, any pointers would be helpful.
Thank you all
EDIT:
expected output of 12:
N P N + P P – N
2 2 4 0
4 5 9 1
6 10 16 4
8 8 16 0
8 17 25 9
10 26 36 16
12 13 25 1
12 37 49 25
Actual output of 12:
N P N + P P – N
2 2 4 0

A: num2 is always increasing.  You need to reset num2 to an appropriate value at the start of your i loop (before starting the j loop).

A: The problem is your double loop is incrementing incorrectly. And 1201ProgramAlarm beat me to the punch... num2 never gets reset to 2, so it just keeps growing.
Instead try using the variable from your second loop instead of num2 and see what happens.
Also, comment out or remove num2++;

A: To avoid brute-force exhaustive searching and checking of squareness, you could use reverse math logic to generate only appropriate pairs. Let
a=num2
b=num1
a >= b > 0

It is known that
a + b = k^2
a - b = m^2

Subtract these equations:
2 * b = k^2 - m^2 = (k-m) * (k+m)

We can see that k and m must have the same oddity - both even or both odd (and b is always even).
So we can enumerate k = 2, 3, 4..., for every k get possible m = k-2, k-4, k-6... and get all (a,b) pairs.
b = (k^2 - m^2) / 2
a = k^2 - b

k   m   b   a
2   0   2   2
3   1   4   5
4   0   8   8
4   2   6   10
5   1   12  13
5   3   8   17
6   0   18  18
6   2   16  20
6   4   10  26
...

One more approach: enumerate even b's, for every b generate all factorizations of b/2 into 2 multipliers p and q (b/2 = p * q, p >= q) and calculate possible variants of k=p+q and a = k^2-b
Example for b=24:
b/2 = 12
p   q   k   a
12  1   13  145
6   2   8   40
4   3   7   25

A: Your code looks convoluted since i and j increases along with num1 and num2 anyways, so why not combine them?
for (int N = 1; N <= number; N++)
    {
        for (int P = 0; P <= number; P++)
        {
            if (ceilf(sqrtf(N+P)) == sqrtf(N+P) && ceilf(sqrtf(P-N)) == sqrtf(P-N))
            {
                cout << left << setw(10) << N << setw(10) << P << setw(10) << P + N << setw(10) << P - N << endl;
            }
        }
    }

Q: Is nestjs compatible to typescript 3.x? I'm starting a project with Nestjs, in one of its samples the version of typescript is 2.8, but typescript's latest version is 3.2. Is nest.js compatible to version 3.x of typescript?

A: You can use the latest Typescript version. Typescript 3.x support was added in this pull request. I'd recommend using the nest CLI to setup a new project.


Ford: Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) said on Monday that November U.S. auto sales will show a rise of about 10 percent from last year.
Ford said that total U.S. auto sales will be 1.12 million and 1.13 million, which includes medium and heavy trucks.
Major automakers are reporting November U.S. auto sales on Monday.
Chrysler: Chrysler Group LLC and Hyundai Motor Co on Monday both reported strong U.S. new-vehicle sales in November as the industry rebounded from a storm-ravaged October while also benefiting from pent-up demand.
The rest of the industry is scheduled to report November sales on Monday. Auto sales are an early indicator each month of U.S. consumer demand.
Several analysts expect U.S. sales of new cars and trucks to rise 11% to 13% in November, with the annual selling rate for the month finishing in the range of 14.7 million to 15.3 million vehicles.
Superstorm Sandy hurt the last few days of sales in October, when results finished below expectations. In addition, the average age of cars on the road has risen to just above 11 years old, and industry officials say that will continue to drive demand.
Chrysler, majority owned by Fiat <FIA.MI>, said sales rose 14 percent to 122,565 cars and trucks, its strongest result since 2007 before a recession pushed the U.S. automaker and General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) into bankruptcy.
Hyundai said sales increased 8% to 53,487 vehicles, an all-time high for the month. It was the first sales results since the South Korean automaker and its Kia affiliate overstated the fuel economy ratings by at least a mile per gallon on more than 1 million recently sold vehicles.

How did the Emperor Constantine change Christianity legal status?
Ben Davis February 8, 2019
How did Christianity change the Roman Empire quizlet?
How did Rome's emperors affect the spread of Christianity?
How did Christianity change over time in the Roman Empire?
Why did Gentiles find Christianity attractive?
Who was part of the original circle of Jesus followers?
Constantine now became the Western Roman emperor. He soon used his power to address the status of Christians, issuing the Edict of Milan in 313. This proclamation legalized Christianity and allowed for freedom of worship throughout the empire. In 324, Constantine defeated Licinius and took control of a reunited empire.
The Roman religion was polytheistic, but Christianity was monotheistic. How did Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire, and what were the consequences? It was spread by apostles and missionaries. It was seen as a threat, and they were persecuted, until the emperor Constantine became a Christian.
In 313 CE, the emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which granted Christianity—as well as most other religions—legal status. In 380 CE, the emperor Theodosius issued the Edict of Thessalonica, which made Christianity, specifically Nicene Christianity, the official religion of the Roman Empire.
Over time, the Christian church and faith grew more organized. In 313 AD, the Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which accepted Christianity: 10 years later, it had become the official religion of the Roman Empire.
Why did Gentiles find Christianity attractive? They desperately needed the Good News of One God, who loved them and wanted them to love one another. He wanted to affirm the Christian belief that Jesus IS coming; however, he realized that we do not know exactly when.
what was part of the original circle of Jesus' followers, and what was their religious heritage. the twelve apostles formed the original circle around Jesus, and the beliefs that united them came from Judaism.

The "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" Effect – Another Progress Is Derivative Example

The history of metal and rock music occurred because of some serious copying. My favourite saying has always been that all "progress is derivative." What I mean by this term, is that all the music we love is an amalgamation of music that has come before. In a lot of the cases, this amalgamation involved some serious copying. To use a common term that is banded about today, the history of music as I know it involved a lot of "stealing."
Previously, I posted on "The Kashmir Effect" in hard rock and heavy metal music. This was my take on the legacy that the Led Zeppelin song "Kashmir" had on hard rock and heavy metal.
In this post, I am focusing on that descending bass line that I first heard on the George Harrison penned "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." The way that it descends is that it goes down by a whole tone first and then four semi tones in a chromatic progression. So if the song was in the key of Am, then the progression would be A – G – F# – F – E
Since the Sixties, that descending passage has appeared in countless songs that are all seen as classics in this day and age.
Recently it was "Trial Of Tears" from Dream Theater that triggered this study into the descending bass line.
So where do we begin. The beauty of progress in music never begins in one place. It begins in many places and then there is always a creator or an artist that starts to bring it all together.
In one instance, it all started in the fifties when an unknown folk singer by the name of Anne Bredon wrote a song called "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You." By 1962, Joan Baez had popularised the song.
In another instance, in 1966, an American band called The Loving Spoonful released a song called "Summer In The City", that had a verse riff in the key of Cm that descended.
Also in that same year, a British band called The Kinks released "Sunny Afternoon."
Both songs have a lot of similarities, especially that descending bass line. Back in those days it was common for artists to release similar sounding songs across two continents, or for artists to cover a song that was popular on one continent and unheard of in the other.
In 1967, the mighty Cream released "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" another "progress is derivative" gem that featured a similar bass line to The Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City" and a vocal melody inspired by Judy Collins' version of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne."
Then in 1968 came "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by The Beatles with a definitive guitar solo from Eric Clapton, who had more or less worked out a similar solo the previous year on the "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" song.
So at this point in time, you have two separate stages of music happening. The US "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Summer In The City" stage and The British "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" stage.
In 1969, another British band by the name of Led Zeppelin took these two stages and merged them together in their re-interpretation of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". A perfect example of progress being derivative.
That is how the language of music is learned. We imitate our influences. Some will call it "theft" and others will call it "inspiration." In the end, there is a saying that goes something like "Talent Imitates, True Genius Steals."
However, the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" effect doesn't end there. An American band called Chicago more or less copied the aggressive part of Led Zeppelin's version of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" for their song "25 or 6 to 4."
It was just another song that proved successful using the same descending bass line that I will always know as the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" bass line.
So moving on, in 1971, The Grass Roots released "Temptation Eyes". Another song that proved successful that was tied up with the descending bass line and the "Summer In The City" groove established years earlier.
Culture is all about emulation. Copyright is about governments intervening and this is when Copyright started to become a force to be reckoned with.
Up until 1971, music culture had 11 years of unbelievable progress by copying what came before and making it better. Look at the quality of music released around a descending bass line.
It didn't end there. I am sure there are many other examples in between, however to my knowledge the next time the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" effect was heard occurred in 1975. At this time Styx released "Suite Madame Blue."
The Eighties had a real pop element to it.
Then in 1993, I purchased an album called "Countdown To Extinction" from Megadeth. The opening track, Skin Of My Teeth had a chorus riff that reminded me of The Beatles classic. Dave Mustaine was well known for taking his influences from the Seventies and converting them to thrash and metal music. He even got a mention for the Kashmir influence in the song "In My Darkest Hour."
Then in 1995, Oasis released "She's Electric" and there it was again. The "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" effect was in action again in the Nineties after going largely unnoticed in the Eighties.
Green Day then released "Brain Stew" in 1996 and there it was again, the definitive descending bass line.
The following year, 1997 saw two releases that had the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" descending bass line. This time is was progressive masters, Dream Theater and their song "Trial Of Tears". Pop rock band Texas also had a song called "Black Eyed Boy."
Remember songs are not created in vacuums.

Who Do You Think RPWL Are?
October 16, 2013 destroyerofharmonyA Momentary Lapse Of Reason, Bon Scott, Chris Postl, clones, cover band, Dave Gilmour, dreams, Farewell, friendship, George Harrison, german, Gilmour, God Has Failed, In Your Dreams, invest, Karl Heinz Wallner, King Crimson, Kingdom Come, Led Zeppelin, Marillion, Music Business, neo progressive, Pink Floyd, profits, record label, relationship, RPWL, sales, Sorrow, Tempus Fugit, Terminal Breath, The Beatles, Violet District, Yogi Lange Leave a comment
Lost in all the noise that is the music business, is a German neo progressive rock band called RPWL. They started of their career as a Pink Floyd cover band.
That is how all bands start off. Playing the songs of our favourites. Eventually, they started to create their own music, heavily influenced by the music they covered. Singer, Yogi Lange has the Gilmour tone to his voice and guitarist Karl Heinz Wallner gets very close to Gilmour's signature sound.
However, the RPWL story didn't start in 1997. It goes back to 1992 and a band called Violet District. On their debut and only album, "Terminal Breath", Pink Floyd influences abound, however the influence of Marillion is more predominant. The nucleus of Violet District are the talents of Karl-Heinz Wallner, Chris Postl and Yogi Lang who of course went on to become members of RPWL. So from the ashes of Violet District, RPWL is born. Like Bon Scott said, it is a long way to the top if you want to prog and roll.
God Has Failed (2000)
This album should have done better in recognition. The world needed some Pink Floyd, and while the original band was on hiatus, RPWL stepped up to fill the void. Remember the catchy cry; progress is derivative. RPWL's "God Has Failed" is Pink Floyds "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason Pt. 2". Tempus Fugit the record label said that with the release of the RPWL debut album, it was their first album that made some money in sales and it gave the label the chance to invest the profits in other artists.
This album got the band labelled as Pink Floyd clones, much the same way Kingdom Come was labelled Led Zeppelin clones after their debut. The difference between the two in sales is staggering, as Kingdom Come went on a multi-platinum victory lap and RPWL didn't.
This is RPWL raw and showing the world their influences. If you don't like it I don't care. If you don't know it, you should.
"Who Do You Think We Are"
Great title to sum up the band, and I believe the song also sums up the musical style of the album. This is The Beatles crossed with Pink Floyd. The Beatles are a big influence that went largely unnoticed when this album came out. George Harrison could have written this track. It is a pop song with a progressive chorus.
There's nothing left
But the shades of our past
When you reach that point in a relationship or a friendship and each side has gone in different directions. Where do we stand at this point in time? How do we fit in each other's lives right now? When you can't find the answer, the only thing left is the past.
We both know the sun will rise again
We both thought that it will never end
But somewhere deep inside
Life as got a bitter taste
When not a single friend is here to stay
Isn't that always the case. When a break up happens, either in a relationship or a friendship, people take sides. There is always one that will be left all alone.
This follows on with The Beatles meets Pink Floyd theme set in "Who Do You Think We Are". It's the seventies merged with the eighties in the Year 2000. Think of the song "Sorrow" from "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". The song has those moments of recognition, however as the track goes on, it becomes its own track and it evolves into the heaviest bit of the album.
Tell me what do you feel
When you die in your dreams
Who hasn't woken up from a dream state, with that terrible sinking feeling. You have just dreamt your death, and that sick feeling lingers.
It should have been the closer on the album. If anything the album is just a tad too long. 45 minutes would be sufficient, however RPWL released 71 minutes worth of music. It looks like they couldn't part with some of the material. In this song, I am hearing King Crimson influence's merged with Pink Floyd.
Remember all the time when life
Was only china in our hands
What a way to sum up how fragile life is, by comparing it to valuable china plates. You know, those plates that your parents bring out on special occasions to serve dinner when people are around. Then they are hand washed carefully, and dried in a safe place, so that the gold edge doesn't get damaged.
When the Master calls
Don't be afraid to say Farewell
In the end when the maker calls, the negotiations are over. It doesn't matter how much you argue and try to buy more time, the end is the end. Death is just a transition.

Trial Of Tears – Dream Theater
August 16, 2013 destroyerofharmonycelebrities, Deep In Heaven, Derek Sherinian, derivative version, Dream Theater, entertainment, falling into infinity, George Harrison, Heart Of The Sunrise, Images and Words, It's Raining, James LaBrie, John Myung, Kevin Moore, Learning To Live, Metropolis I: The Miracle and The Sleeper, Mik, Mike Portnoy, music, n, progress is derivative, Take The Time, The Wasteland, three part movement, Trial Of Tears, vocals, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Yes Leave a comment
Trial of Tears is from the Falling Into Infinity album released in 1997.
The Falling Into Infinity album is a controversial subject for Dream Theater fans. Some say it is incredible, others cry that it was a sell out and others say it's crap. Mike Portnoy said he hated it, and that by releasing the Official Bootleg of the album in a Double CD format, he felt that he has corrected that hate and given the album its due justice. If the other members agree with that statement is an entirely different matter.
Trial of Tears is a three movement song. John Myung owns this song. His groovy bass lines are all over it and for any aspiring bass player, this is a song that should be in your bible of bass songs to learn.
I: It's Raining
The vocal melody on the chorus below is George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It comes back again in the third movement.
On the streets of New York City
Raining deep in heaven
I can picture myself in New York City and allowing the rain to fall on me. That is the connection that the melody makes with me.
As I walk through all my myths
Rising and sinking like the waves
With my thoughts wrapped around me
Through a trial of tears
Wow, what a verse. How many different masks do we wear in life? How many myths do we create around us? Are these myths there to make us feel better about ourselves or do we create these myths just to fit in. In the end it all ends with a trial of tears.
Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world
Feeling uninspired, he gets into his car
Not within his eyes to see, open up, open up
Not much better than the man you hate
James LaBrie's voice has been a topic of many discussions I have had about Dream Theater however in Trial of Tears he nails this bridge part. He is barking it out, pushing his throat until it blows. It fits with the music to a tee.
II: Deep In Heaven
The instrumental section of the song is a mash up of influences. Coming into it, at the 5.58 mark, Dream Theater is referencing Metropolis I: The Miracle and The Sleeper from the Images and Words album, and then during the guitar lead break from 6.12 to 8.10 the bass groove is reminiscent to Learning To Live (again from Images and Words) and also Yes – Heart Of The Sunrise.
Then from 8.11 to 10.04 the bass line lays a funky groove in a style very similar to the verse riff in Take The Time which is also from Images and Words.
Overall it is a great jam session and it reminds me of the Kevin Moore era of Dream Theater. Derek Sherinian and Kevin Moore had similar abilities on the keys, however the big difference between them is that Kevin Moore brought songs to the table, with lyrics and vocal melodies.
III. The Wasteland
When The Wasteland section kicks in at the 10.05 mark, I am immediately reminded of George Harrison's, While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It's perfect. A sense of familiarity and also something that is new.
Welcome to the wasteland
Where you'll find ashes, nothing but ashes
I remember hearing this back in 1997 and my mind picturing this great garbage dump where peoples' dreams, possessions, hopes and memories end up and that there is a massive machine that is churning it out into massive piles of ash. Again LaBrie is firing on all cylinders.
Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me
Nowhere to turn,
I look for a way back home
I took the above to mean that the rain was never physical rain outside. It was always a storm inside the persons soul. For a long time, the person controlled it and then one day the rain/storm exploded. Now the rain falls as a metaphor for the tears that fall when someone passes away.
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
How effective is the above line, done over and over again? The way the music picks up around it, it gives me a sense of hope and that everything will be okay.
Trial of Tears is another John Myung's masterpiece. This song is not the heaviest Dream Theater song however it is one song that has heaps of melody around it. Words can't describe the emotions this song stirs, so let your ears do the listening and give it the time of day.


One bright day at the Pentagon, when everyone was tired of making paper airplanes out of contingency plans and too bored to experiment with another flavored coffee, the Air Force decided to challenge the Navy to a boat race.
Being eager and energetic young military men, keen to prove their superiority in all things, teams were quickly formed and training undertaken with serious intent ... after all, the honor of the service was at stake, so a blood sacrifice would not be untoward.
Practice had brought them to peak performance before the race, so tensions were high as supporters lined the banks of the Potomac River during the event. On this big day, the Navy won by a mile!
Afterwards, the Air Force team became very discouraged and depressed. The officers of the Air Force contingent decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found. A Metrics Team, made up of senior officers, was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.
Their investigation revealed that the Navy had eight seamen rowing and one officer steering, while the Air Force, following its traditional command structure, had one airman rowing and eight NCOs and officers steering. So the senior officers of the Air Force Metrics Team hired a consulting company, paying them incredible amounts of money, for streamlined data analysis and remedial recommendations. The consultants advised the Air Force that too many people were steering the boat and that not enough people were rowing.
In a concerted effort to prevent another loss to the Navy in the coming year, the Air Force Chief of Staff made historic and sweeping changes: the rowing team's organizational structure was totally realigned. The new and improved arrangement would emplace four steering officers, three area steering superintendents, and one assistant superintendent steering NCO. They also implemented a new performance motivation system that would give the one airman rowing the boat a much greater incentive to work harder. They called it the Rowing Team Quality Air Force Program, with meetings, dinners, and a three-day pass for the rower. "We must give the rower empowerment and enrichment through this quality program," the Air Force Chief said.
When the opposing teams met the following year, the Navy won by two miles!
Humiliated, the Air Force leadership gave the rower a Letter of Reprimand for poor performance; initiated a $4 billion program for development of a new joint-service boat that would equalize the competition; blamed the loss on a design defect in the non-ergonomic paddles; and issued leather rowing jackets to the beleaguered steering officers in hopes that they would stay for next year's race.
Meanwhile, the Army team is still trying to figure out why the oars keep making divots in the grass when they're rowing.


Daaji: The essence of the Bhagavad Gita is this: happiness can only be had when we are at peace. When we are restless, can we enjoy happiness? It sounds paradoxical. How to arrive at peace? Lord Krishna says we arrive at peace only through contemplation. How is that possible? Through focused thinking. And how is focused thinking possible? Only through meditation.
Lord Krishna again explains in the Gita that a Yogi is asleep but he is fully aware. This is what the Turiya state is all about. We are fully aware, yet we are so absorbed with minimal brain activity in Sahaj Samadhi. There is no anticipation of phone calls, no anticipation of future problems or present problems, and no worries about the past. We are in the moment. That is the Turiya state. Further, having achieved the Turiya state, what is its ripple effect? This Turiya state becomes the cause for the Turiyateet state. Turiyateet state means something beyond the Turiya state.
To my understanding, simply put, Turiyateet is the Turiya state extended during day-to-day activities with open eyes. And this is facilitated in Sahaj Marg very simply through constant remembrance. You are so absorbed in Master, in his love, you continue doing your work as if you are doing it as prasad offered to Him. Every act in the day becomes prasad, an offering. When you are so careful about your acts, your mind will not be disturbed and will always cooperate peacefully. That is Turiyateet. Now, what will be the effect of this state? Merger. Only when we are in such a state does merger becomes possible. Without this Turiyateet state, you cannot even begin to merge; you have not even scratched the surface. That is why Babuji Maharaj says that only after arriving at the state of merger does our true spiritual journey begin.
On one of the evenings at DJ Park ashram, a young enthusiastic girl met Daaji. She happily said that she had been waiting to meet him and it finally happened. There was little conversation and the girl said that, according to Einstein's theory, time travel should not be possible. Daaji replied that while physically time travel may not happen, spiritually speaking it is possible to go back and forth in time. It is possible to go back in time and remove things that are affecting the progress of an individual. It is possible to peek into the future also.
This young scientist's eyebrows went up in amazement, and she now started talking about energy and the effects of touch. She said that one should never touch others using the index finger, as such actions will take away positive energy. Daaji said, "We should not be miserly in our thoughts. What is Transmission? It is energy utilized for the progress of others. A Guru puts his Divine Essence (positive energy) for the good of others." The girl nodded in agreement.
At the end of the discussion, when it was time to leave, she went near him for a photo. Daaji used his index finger and pointed at her shoulder. She reciprocated with her index finger and touched his shoulder. Daaji said jokingly, "See, now you are giving me negative energy!" She laughed and tried to take it away using all her fingers like a magician. There was joy in this light movement with a profound lesson on giving.
It was late in the evening when Daaji decided to extend his trip to Kerala to meet the abhyasis there. The journey to God's own country was about to begin!
It was 6:20 a.m. when Daaji started from DJ Park to go to Coimbatore, and he reached Nachipallyam ashram by 7:30 a.m. He conducted satsangh and rested for a while.
He enjoyed the road journey with some music, some silence and some times talking about his observations.
During the journey, Daaji shared his thoughts on how we suffer in life and react due to emotional weight: how misunderstanding leads to emotional weight, causing anger and relationship issues. Daaji narrated this through the story of a king and the Sufi Master, Junayd.
Daaji: Junayd was one of the greatest Sufi Masters, and the king visited him, wanting to become his disciple.
The king would follow him wherever he went, and it was difficult for Junayd to get away from him. Being a king, he forced his way into it.
Junayd was a smart guy, and he created a scenario. He went across the river from his town to where his family was living. Sitting under a tree, he invited a woman to come there, they sat there with beautifully laid glasses and spent almost two to three hours enjoying each other's company, pouring that liquid out of the jar into the glasses and feeding each other.
This king was watching from the other side.
"And who is this woman?" asked the king.
The lady removed her veil and it was Junayd's mother.
It is a beautiful story about how the mind interprets things. Your eyes have seen correctly, but your prejudiced mind interprets things the way you want to see them. Until this emotional weight is clarified, it has nothing to do with your nature. Sometimes you misunderstand the whole thing, even though you don't have a tendency to become angry.
So now what happens? This misunderstanding can cause irritation and anger, and it spoils the relationship. So people say, "Oh, I became angry." Naturally, out of ignorance, out of misunderstanding! That's why understanding the situation is very important. Why something thing was done, and by whom, at such-and-such a time, in such-and-such a place. Everything has to fit in.
Q: So should a meditator's mind always seek for understanding?
Around 3:00 p.m., Daaji stopped near Trissur at the home of an abhyasi. He conducted satsangh and spent time with a group of loving abhyasis. Then he continued on his journey, and after a brief visit to Kochi, Daaji came to Aluva ashram by late evening. It was a long day of many short drives. These travels are bringing our groups together and deeper into spirituality.
Aluva ashram was filled with around 1000 abhyasis. Daaji conducted satsangh at 9:00 a.m. and it went on for one hour. After this, he gave a short talk congratulating the gathered abhyasis and the centers for the wonderful meditation and spiritual condition.
I had no answer and I didn't want to argue either. Sometimes things happen beyond our planning. I had no plans to come here, but one thing leads to another, and there was such a pull.
Then I could understand the wisdom behind Babuji's words: do something in such a way that the Masters are happy, and see what they can do for you. I think somewhere, somehow, you have pulled yourselves together in this state and have been able to attract their attention. The sitting this morning itself speaks volumes. Those of you who are traveling with me, those of you who are used to my sittings in Kanha also, know that they rarely exceed 35 to 40 minutes. Today it was effortless and, zoop, one hour. I was so surprised. So I should congratulate abhyasis here for such a condition and whatever you're doing, please continue doing in a good spirit and try if possible to venture into other realms, other dimensions, where finer, refined conditions are awaiting us.
Yesterday one of my brothers was saying that abhyasis here practice very diligently, they read a lot of books also, and they are well informed about Sahaj Marg. So I have nothing but praise for this center, and the centers around here. Thank you!
Peace is a prerequisite for happiness, and peace is also a prerequisite for the state of Samadhi. Various states of Samadhi are there, various classes of Samadhi, dimensions of Samadhi, but a prerequisite is always a peaceful heart. If we remain trying to fulfill desires here and there, at any cost, the heart becomes very restless. So we need to focus on the essential and satisfy that. Having satisfied that, everything else is satisfied, as there is fulfillment of the goal. Having arrived at the Samadhi state, other stages of Samadhi are also awaiting. In the beginning, often with one dose of Transmission we are lost. Recollect your first sitting, second sitting, third sitting and subsequent sittings – they were so good. You felt, "Oh, I was completely lost! Such a thing has never happened in my life." We write that in our diaries, but then the stone-like Samadhi state also changes. Lalaji Maharaj calls the state of being fully absorbed with awareness Sahaj Samadhi, or the fourth state, the Turiya condition. In the Turiya condition, we feel so absorbed, so relaxed, while at the same time we are fully aware. There is another definition of a yogi: one who may look sleepy but is fully absorbed and fully aware.
Sahaj Marg offers much more than this: I call it the Turiyateet state in which this Turiya state prevails during our day-to-day activities, extended beyond meditation hours. You may be at school, at your business, maybe you're cooking something, maybe you're driving, or you're doing nothing at all and watching TV, but your inner state is so profound, as if you are in a state of meditation.
We often talk about how samskaras are formed, and they are also formed by this law of cause and effect. Something is caused, and an effect is created. I look at a beautiful rose flower, and my eyes are attracted towards its beauty. Later I pass by and I want to hold the rose in my hand and say, "Oh wow, it's a nice fragrance." On the third day I feel like plucking it and taking it home. This is cause and effect, the ripple effect.
How can we take advantage of it in spiritual life? Let the peaceful heart created through meditation become the foundation for other things to grow: inner happiness, inner contentment. They are the result of a peaceful heart, which yields through the Samadhi-like state, the Turiya state, the Turiyateet state. Now we become eligible for merger.
When purity reigns supreme, simplicity is at its pinnacle. The pure heart can become eligible now to merge with ultimate purity. As long as we remain wishing and desiring, blowing our own trumpet, including how successful we are in Sahaj Marg, nothing will happen. When we go beyond all these things, then we truly become eligible to merge in that ultimate purity we call God. It's an assumed name, as no one has seen God. We take it for granted. It's like a hypothesis: we suppose that either he's there or he's not there. Well anyway, in the end somewhere we prove in our life, "Yes! He's definitely there!" And now we embark on the journey in such a way that we become eligible to merge in Him. Only after merger does our true spiritual journey begin. Until then we are only preparing the foundation.
So I think we have a beautiful ending, even though there is no end when we embark on a spiritual life. That one book can be closed in this life very joyously and we can say, "I did what I had to do. There is nothing more I could do and thank you God." And thank you sisters and brothers for listening.
Q: Dear Daaji, with this visit of yours to Kerala, the state of Kerala is entering a new spiritual journey; a new spiritual awakening is happening to the state. Also in the morning you mentioned that the state is clearly on a progressive path. At the same time, the state is also facing challenges at various fronts – political, social and economic, and it is unique in that the influence of the media is very deep and we have a government that is left-oriented. The question is: how do you locate the state on the spiritual map or spiritual ladder? Where do we stand? What is the future that you envision for the state of Kerala?
Daaji: Personally speaking, when an individual is not happy the family cannot be happy. When an individual is not spiritual, the entire family as a whole will lack spirituality. Do you want to add up spirituality and make it an egregore? Spirituality is individual, and I cannot even force my wife to meditate. Of course she may be meditating, and you can request your dear ones, "Let's meditate," and they may also cooperate, but do you think that they are meditating at your frequency, at your level of love? Are they really searching sincerely, truthfully?
If we cannot speak about our own families confidently, how can we design the destiny of the whole state? Spiritual persons will mind their own business, doing their duty as best they can towards the community and the state; we simply do our part as best as we can. This is why Babuji prescribed this 9 o'clock prayer, not just for the state or the family, but for the whole world. I cannot change anyone; change happens willingly. If the other person would also like to change, then there is a possibility. You see?
The political scenario in Kerala and throughout the world is so poisoned. As communal rifts are ever increasing, there is so much on one side and so little on the other side. That is also increasing, all throughout India. The gap is widening, and who knows when evolution will break and all the negative elements will be let lose.
You must have heard that during the Bharath bands one of our abhyasi's residences was attacked for no reason in Gwallior. He was from a certain community so they broke his cars, his windows, and everything was destroyed. Not only his family, but so many others are suffering. We are really entering into a poisonous zone in our lifetime. But let us do the best we can for our families, for ourselves, and pray for the rest.
Q: Daaji, how can we progress to the state of Sahaj Samadhi? We need a little more guidance on how to reach the state of Turiyateet and continue to be there.
Daaji: The methods are already given to us; we just have to apply them in our daily lives: morning meditation, evening cleaning and nighttime prayer are sufficient to arrive at all those lofty conditions Lalaji Maharaj and Babuji Maharaj have been talking about.
What is Turiya? Again, you should not get confused with what is Turiya in Sanskrit. Scientifically speaking, you can conduct an experiment – a consciousness experiment, an awareness experiment. To make it very simple, I will explain the basics behind measuring the brain activity on an electroencephalograph or EEG. Whenever you think, if you have anger in your mind it will create electromagnetic impulses in your brain, which create a magnetic field, which can be measured. If you're thinking too fast it'll measure that speed. If you're not thinking at all, there will be the least amount of mental activity, the least amount of electrical activity and magnetic field created.
So when very many thoughts are there, there's an intense wave effect, so the needle on the EEG goes very fast. Per contra, when a person is peaceful, the measurement will also be slower and calmer. When you are reading a book that you enjoy, you're listening to a music, or you're meditating, it will slow down. During sleep, the frequency slows down even further. We have measured the EEG of a few abhyasis practicing Sahaj Marg meditation, and it mimics exactly the condition of deep sleep but the person not asleep. When we ring a bell, he's able to hear it, so he is aware, but his EEG pattern is extremely low, as if he's in deep sleep.
Krishna says in the Gita that a yogi is someone whose consciousness is like they are sleeping but they are fully working. So our mind is working, but it is restful – it is not running after things, it is not going crazy, it is not responding with fast signals. It is moving slowly with full awareness. So that's what happens in the Turiya state: you acquire the sleep state, while at the same time you're fully aware of what is happening inside and outside. I'm not speaking of Master's presence.
The Turiya condition is possible in Heartfulness meditation even for a person who is meditating for the first time. If an EEG is attahed to them, the graph will show the deep sleep brainwave pattern. By and large, I would say that 99% of our people are able to enjoy the benefits of the Turiya state during meditation, and if they are careful enough to maintain their condition after meditation they can prolong this so it can become the Turiyateet state with open eyes.. You're moving on in life with a cool state.
Q: It is said that the subtle bodies goes with the soul, yet life has its existence only when body and soul are united. Can you kindly elaborate on this concept?
The physical body, which is the outer manifestation.
The subtle bodies, of which there are many, but four are the main ones: chit, manas, buddhi and ahankar.
The inner most causal body, the cause of everything, the karan of everything. That is our atman, and without the atman forget about the subtle bodies and the physical body.
All these are needed, and the soul in its wisdom choses parents, embodies itself, and manifests in physical form. The physical form is needed, so we need to keep it healthy, allowing these four subtle bodies to grown alongside it. Then the soul will find its fulfillment.
The purpose is something else. When we ask, "What is the purpose of life?" often, we think of so many esoteric things, but to my heart the purpose of life is simply to do the best we can in every moment. And when we talk of improving the soul and its quality, can you improve that which is already pure and eternal? You can't. It is what it is.
How can we improve the physical body? If we pay too much attention to the physical body, we'll be caught up in it. We're already caught up so badly with it, yet this physical body can only age and decay. It follows its own natural rhythm, and it cannot evolve, it can only age.
Then what is this evolution all about, if it is not about the soul or the physical body? It is all about the subtle bodies – chit, manas, buddhi and ahankar. We all have consciousness, we all have mind, we all have intellect, we all have ego. Now when these four slowly evolve to become what we find in a saint, what becomes of them in the end?
Consicouness is the field in which manas, buddhi and ahankar play their part. What becomes of manas? The role of manas is to think and it must evolve to think from mind to heart. It's a whole spectrum where, instead of focusing only on this mental apparatus, we allow the heart to take more of a role. Saints respond without having to think. The example I often give is that of a businessman, an office goer or a student, who has a problem and remains confused for months at a time. Their mother or sister or wife will ask, "What is wrong with you? Tell me what is bothering you." When they open up and say, "Mom, this is my problem," she will come up with an immediate answer. A wife will also give an immediate answer to a problem for which you wasted three months or six months brooding. So thinking of course has its own role, but if you can feel the situation it can give you an immediate answer.
Likewise with intellect, we can intellectualize over so many things, but once our intellect develops intelligence we become more intuitive, wisdom develops and we start receiving guidance from inside. There's no more need for intellectualization, as things reveal themselves.
And what about ego? As long as we remain egotistic, nothing much can be accomplished. An egotistic mind is all about 'myself'. Such a person will not think much of God. That's a long chapter.
The evolution of all these three together permits consciousness to expand. But Babuji Maharaj actually pours cold water on this aspect of consciousness. He says that while it is good and we have to facilitate the expansion of our consciousness to evolve, we must also pay attention to something much more than that. He gives the example of toys given to children: children need toys to play, and adults also have their own fancy ideas about enjoyment. Yogis also waste their sadhana and tapasya playing with consciousness. He encourages us to go beyond consciousness in Sahaj Marg, and find what is the potential behind consciousness; what is it that supports consciousness?
So we have to move on slowly like that, you see. It is this combination of subtle bodies that forms an amalgamation with the soul and moves from one life to the next. Samskaras are stored in these subtle bodies. The more the samskaras are removed, the more free the subtle bodies become. And the soul will find its own liberation through that process. Thank you.
Within ten minutes, rains poured, filling the atmosphere with a cool breeze and joy. It looks like God's own country is blessed again!
He started back to Bangalore to meet his new family member. The official travel ends till the new one starts!
So much happens in travel that can't be captured in words, and can't be captured in knowledge. One can always stay tuned in and experience.
