Those Darn Side effect Lists on Drug Commercials--Dr. Rama
I do not think anyone who has watched TV have not seen those classical drug advertisements.
Remember, the drug companies are addressing the mass public about these medicines so that they get stirred up and take action to ask their doctors about these.---Nothing wrong with that.
However, realize that doctors are viewed as gatekeepers by the pharmaceutical industry. Doctors are the security key by which the drug is dispensed to people---hopefully they are prescribing properly ---but sometimes they are viewed as a means to an end to sell a product. Without that script the product does not move and profits are not made.
While many drugs have benefits of course, the side effect lists that are mentioned are very scary---even for doctors!
Have you noticed natural medicines and suggestions are mostly not advertised? It is because of strict regulations on FDA approvals and guidelines.
Yet with approved drugs just listen to the side effect potential of all of these---and many people do get benefit but also an array of side effects that have to be constantly monitored and dealt with.
Half the commercial time is listing horrifying side effects while there are themes on screen of playing on our emotions: enjoying family, golf, intimate relationships and so on.
It is all geared to buy and sell the product because it all plays on our emotions, fears and yet the quest for optimal health that will bring in our hopes and dreams.---Yet these darn side effect lists that are listed have to make us wonder if there is just not a better way of treating patients in a more natural model that seems to be glossed over by many forces in the medical and pharmaceutical world.
It is just ironic in my opinion, another dichotomy in our complex medical world and for the general public.

What About Those Descriptions of Movies When They are Star Rated?
Ever notice when movies are reviewed and are starred (one two, three four and five) by the critics there is a description of the content of the movie?
If you step back and just read the words---it is quite an array of descriptions: "graphic violence, nudity, profane language, adult themes, difficult to watch scenes, sexually disturbing content, and so on",...the list goes on and on....
Have we wondered if such bombarding of our mind and senses by these images and themes ever really affects us?
In my opinion, how could it not when we see the state of the world?
Entertainment is the playing ground of these themes---not so much nudity and sex but are we numb to the unbelievable amount of violence that is on TV and in the Movies?
Our world is already suffering. Do we need this degree of intensity in entertainment? That is an individual choice, of course. Entertainment is often filled with such negativity that our auric field is filled with this influencey, much like a tape recorder. Our mind absorbs everything---and there is an affect upon our heart and soul--knowingly and unknowingly.
The entertainment industry is well versed on what sells: mainly the focus of themes of base, low energy dulling of consciousness themes: particularly violence. And the question is are we so dense that we numb out and desensitize to what is on the screen?
These base energies are part of the first three chakras within the body: mainly the issues of fear, horror, greed, negative lust, survival, revenge, competition, struggle, violence/anger/rage killing consciousness, low, base humor, and other lower Self energies. There is always positive energy and negative energy in each chakra and our life and outlook reflects what is stored up in these energy centers: whatever is within is going to come out to the world in the form of our thoughts, behaviors and actions.
We already have embedded so much negativity within our systems from this life and many other lives and knowingly and unknowingly as we are absorbing this negativity through films and such.
So as we choose our entertainment time--maybe we can reflect a little: do we want expansion or contraction of our consciousness? It is always up to us. What we choose affects humanity as a whole.

Knee Jerk Prescription Writing/Medicine--The Changing Face of Medicine--Dr. Rama
Whether in Medicine, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Ob-gyn and so on---Medicine is becoming seemingly more and more "cook-book--ish"---There are more charts, formulas electronic info that points in the direction of the usual treatments for various ailments
While there is a "standard of care" and so on, I am noticing more and more that the moment someone comes in, one can almost predict the medicines they will be on to a larger and larger percent.
The basic hypertension, diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, and heart meds all seem to fall in line with each person.
What does this mean? I just wonder whether physicians and the whole medical community are programmed by school, pharmaceutical companies and so on to just go on one track or two and then sort of go down an assembly line as people come in with their laundry list of signs and symptoms.
This is not to say there are important protocols and so on.
But it just seems that sometimes medications are sometimes mechanically written to fit what people are complaining about and clinics in all specialties are becoming more tense, frenzied and frenetic to handle larger and larger volumes of patients with shrinking reimbursements while managed care upper management fills their bank accounts with enormous salaries and bonuses......
Ever see lists of patients medicines? The lists are getting longer and longer and longer....I am sure drug companies are happy---Are some of these meds needed and necessary? Of course ---but is there too much of a knee jerk response to 'have to" prescribe something----?
You have a set of problems and illnesses and you will see the same standard medicines ---all in a row---
So I just wonder --when will we wake up to the creativity and vision (and of course the capital funding)---to truly and deeply incorporate ancient treatment methods and knowledge to Medicine, health Spirituality and Medicine? We need manifestation not just ideas and lectures ---in the early part of this 21st century to change the paradigm of health and healing globally.
While this is happening now, we are scratching the surface. There is so much information hidden from modern medicine on how consciousness and the life force affects the body and how lack of balance of such forces creates health problems or disease.
There are so many tenets and precepts and natural means to affect change and cure. Much of it is to help with chronic ailments that our cook-book medicine does not address.
I hope the time is coming soon for such models to really manifest on this planet----

Dumped on Facebook ---What is the World Coming To?
Recently in a session someone told me they were dumped on Facebook. She and the guy were dating for a few years. Yes they were having general issues but suddenly she did not see him much and then not at all. She left him voice mails but no answer. She looked on Face Book and there was her answer! The guy's profile deleted her and in her place was the classical things from Facebook----" So and So"---now in a relationship with "So and So...." No mention of the previous gal. All photos deleted and suddenly new photos of him and the new girlfriend.
Folks--what is this world coming to? Are we electronotons? Do we now not even have the decency to let the person know face to face? Are so not able to share our feelings that we resort to these things?
It is worth contemplating. Does this gal not deserve at least a parting or farewell in person? Some closure, something after three years?
This is not to say this does not go on all the time. People abandon people and they never hear from them again. Yet Facebook is public----to some degree or at least to your friends or friends of friends.
Another thing that happens is that people say they are "in a relationship with....." and then suddenly those pictures and statements are dropped for a week or two or more by both or one---and then one or both put them back up! Guess it is a kind of Facebook feud---...
Wonder what the world of cyberspace will do next with age old human drama??.

An Interesting Story I received by E mail by Inelia Benz---Dr. Rama
From Inelia Benz---a being of extraordinary gifts and light---working with humanity's collective mind. http://www.ineliabenz.com/
Throughout my life, and at various degrees, I, like other sensitive people, have felt the collective fear, pain and suffering on the planet felts humans, as well as animals and nature.
All the people, animals, all the plants, all the trees. There’s so much pain, so much suffering, so much violence. I feel it all. I hear it all. Every minute of every day. It never stops. I can’t stand it. And it’s getting louder all the time as the elite use all their tools to increase it.
The blind unawareness of the men in the slaughterhouses, the chemical farmers, the factory fishermen, the destroyers of the rain-forests, the creators of wars. Those men and women who torture and kill millions of people, animals and trees every day. Those that think animals and trees don’t feel pain, fear, and terror, or relish the thought of inflicting these to others. Those who send psychic and physical attacks onto others.
Years ago, I had a German Shepherd, which had caught its paw in a metal gate. The dog was beside itself with anger and pain. Its head whipped backwards and forwards, snapping at anyone who tried to get near as it struggled to free itself.
I walked up to it and held him firmly, but to get to his paw I had to put my arm between his jaws and the gate. In his pain he sank his teeth into my left arm – which I permitted him to do while I pulled the paw free (more pain for him). Then after the paw was free, I held the dog’s jaws tight, as he continued trying to bite. I held him against the ground firmly but gently. He calmed down and I was able to release it, knowing it would no longer bite those around him. The wound in my arm healed without scars.
The moral of the story? Humans, too, lash out in anger and violence, because they are in great pain and fear. I’d like to hold them all in my arms. All of them. I’d like to show them that they are loved, and that they are safe. All the murderers, all the rapists, all the butchers of the seals, whales and dolphins, all the bloodthirsty workers in the abattoirs, the creators of wars, all they beings involved in psychic attacks. And all those individuals who, in their pain and fear, lash out at me personally, on the internet with hate and anger, poisonous words and death threats.
How to maximize the effect? How to reach those unreachable people? How to halt the pain and damage as soon as possible? How to educate the uneducable? How to release THEIR paw from the metal gate? Lovingly stop THEM from biting, and removing all gates where their paws might get caught?
It is not about who’s to blame. The solution has to be inclusive. Yes, we take responsibility in minimizing the pain and suffering of others through our actions. We can go out of our way to eat meat from small farms, organic producers who love their animals. Yes, we can buy furniture from renewable sources of wood, clothes from factories which don’t exploit people. But what of the perpetrators of fear and pain? We might hold them in our field of light, and allow Gaia to do her work. As a ‘singularity’ – I am but one person. But WE are many.
If we dedicate 10 minutes a day to holding these people in our collective light, it can make a huge shift for them and us. After the 10 minutes, let us focus on the compassion and love of the millions of lightworkers and lightwarriors around the planet, our brethren, so that our collective power increases -- making each one of us more able to accomplish our collective work.
I also feel the love, light and compassion of billions of people around the world. All those parents who hold their new born baby in wonderment and deep love, all those who behold our Mother Earth in awe as they sense Her power and compassion. I also feel millions of lightwokers and lighwarriors diligently doing daily acts of selfless love and compassion to bring light to others and the planet. For every murderer there are 10 healers, for every abuser of animals, there are a thousand who hold animals in respect and equality. For every creator of war, there are millions of us who do not agree with that particular game.
If I didn't feel the LIGHT I would not be alive today. Mother Earth made the call for assistance, and we, all of us, are the answer to that call.

It is Big Universe Out There!---Dr. Rama
We are too hypnotized by our surroundings, problems, worries, emotions, and difficulties. We take in everything through our 5 senses and assume that the world around us is what it is. Well to function down here we have to do that.
However, where is our creativity, wonder, and inspiration? Do we take time to look at the night sky and remember that we are not alone?
With countless stars, solar systems, galaxies and Universes there must countless living planets and systems out there teeming with life as we know it and do not know it. In my opinion there are innumerable civilizations out there with infinite and extraordinary gifts and abilities that we will one day learn from.
More and more awareness is being generated by the notion that our conditioned beliefs and ways of looking at this finite world are changing. We are waking up into higher consciousness to see that there is so much more out there than what we have been led to believe.
The Universe is a big place.
Do we not marvel at the fact that it has no beginning and no end? The mind cannot comprehend the infinite nature of the Universe.
More importantly we have not discovered the eternal Source behind the Universe where this energy that has no beginning or end.
This energy is called by many names: God, Self, Higher Power, Nature, or any other name one can think of.
This eternal Source can be felt deep within in the form of bliss, peace, love and light---
What we must realize that this same force inside us is the fabric of the entire Universe---just like sampling a drop of ocean water represents the entire ocean.
When we merge with this ocean we are really free. We discover this eternal Source that has been there all along or at least glimpse it.
We wake up from the nightmare of this world to see that material possessions and desires are useful but not the be all and end all.
Realizing this Source which is the origin of peace and love is paramount to understand what is really important in life.
When we are committed to seeing and knowing this, then our path is laid out more clearly and easily.
When we buck this knowledge then we end up with suffering, misery, chaos, lost dreams and ill health.
So why continue to suffer? Do we want to suffer or do we want to discover something deeper inside ourselves that will give us the satisfaction we crave in the outer world.
When we commit to the journey of the inner Self then we take off the rose colored glasses that is clouding our vision.
We begin to wake up to the balance of inner peace and outer realization of the miracle of Creation.

Is Anybody "Listening" Out There Anymore?"--Dr. Rama
In this world of technology I often see many, many people with their ears plugged with their i phone pieces. Or they are walking around with their blue-tooth, seemingly psychotic, speaking to themselves when they are on the phone. Or, you go into any Starbucks or similar places and people are plugged in, typing away on their laptops, often hours go by before they even look up.
At the gym, it is always interesting to see people plugged into their music.--Often in their own world.
At my office and other places, little kids are so busy with their electronic games they do not even look up to say hello and engage. They are just typing away, looking down and preoccupied, too busy to even acknowledge one's presence.
Conversations are being entirely done via text messaging. Does anyone even speak on the phone anymore?
Is this the wave of the long term future? Time will tell. If this is the case, then how do we connect heart to heart with people, friends, intimate partners and so on? How do we practice our social skills? How do we get better at mastering our feelings and expressing them others in a more natural, one- to one intimate way? People even break up and ask each other out on dates via texting. What happened to the rapid heart beat, the knees wobbling and butterflies in the stomach from the anticipation of hearing someone's loving voice on the other end of the phone or in person--or asking someone face to face?
I even see people in parks walking the dog (which is often time limited anyway) and speaking on the cell phone--or having I phone ear pieces in. What about the time to enjoy one's dog and his company and to drink in the natural environment with the dog?
Is our tolerance for intimate dialogue and meaningful sharing going by the wayside? Where is the time to even make direct eye contact and say a real "hello how are you" and really mean it? And, how do we know whether to approach someone or not if they are completely pre-occupied with their earphones?
I am not saying that all this is somehow not right. However, can we have the awareness that we may go into feelings of void, emptiness, lack, and thoughtlessness if we only rely on technology and not know why we are feeling this way if we do not balance our use of technology with real reach out, sharing and caring that does not have some machine in between hearts---
And are all so conditioned that we cannot just savor silence or the sounds of Nature? Do we have to constantly have something in the background of our mind through the ears to avoid silence and to appreciate silence and quiet? I wonder if this is part of why our attention span is so limited these days, why people are shifting from subject to subject and not thinking about why this is happening.
No machine is going to replace the heartful sharing of feelings and emotions. Technology without the heart in my opinion creates automatons, consciously or unconsciously.
So next time we are in Starbucks, at the gym, in the department store, grocery store or out in Nature can we remember that someone maybe wanting to connect to us and yet there is no opening to do that if we are plugged in? And, can we sometimes take time to actually write a real letter or thank you card and take the time to be more thoughtful than just sending an email? Can we practice meeting and being with people without the atmosphere of alcohol to loosen us up so that we can discover more of who we are and who they are?
These are just requests, that is all.........Hope we think and take some of this to heart.

Shifting From The Superficial to More Deeply What the World Needs
Pretty soon the whole world is going to basically descend upon Dallas Texas for the Superbowl.
Great that everyone is excited and is ready to have a great time.
Millions and Millions and Millions of dollars are being spent and made (by many) over this Global event: behind the scenes and in front of course.
Yet I wonder, we all want fun, excitement and entertainment. Can some of this hype, hysteria, and so on be turned to the condition of the world?
What would it be like if people were this excited in helping those less fortunate, to create a completely different world? What if these dollars were used to educate, uplift and inspire.
Remember our own USA schools are falling apart. Kids are being fed low quality foods at school. Quality of life is reducing for children globally--There is a paucity of public services available to help with trauma, wounding and suffering and so many other things that rip and tear at peace of mind and Self confidence.
What would happen if we improved quality of life globally and brought out new technologies that I believe are hidden that would improve the world's condition? What if the dollars made really went to making this world something that all could benefit from?
These are questions that all must find inside. Consciousness that develops and expands from inside of us that is beyond the mind and ego will come forward so that we awaken to see that the focus on that which is external, which still only scratches the surface of life--on things that are transitory ---and illusory--- will not change the world ---it will rather still keep us in the same patterns over and over again.---
If we just shift even a little to the amount we focus on external things and a little to the inner, imagine what kind of world we can be in. We reduce limitation and narrowness and expand the heart to realize that such dollars can be used to help so many in this world in large and small ways.
Ammachi http://www.amma.org/ and so many more enter this world to show us this possibility

What is All the Frenzy About on those Cooking Shows and in Restaurants? Mind Affects Food--Dr. Rama
Does anyone watch those reality cooking shows? Although they are made for TV and for entertainment, I thought I would write a little about these.
Have you noticed how frenzied, frenetic, and stressed out the cooks are? Do we see how the chief chefs, judges and so on put so much pressure on the cooks and chefs? Can you watch the faces of those cooking to make the deadlines and prepare the foods? Do we see how much drama and trauma surrounds the food preparation in these shows and behind the scenes in restaurants.
Can we feel the stress that these cooks are under?
Well, then what becomes of the quality of the food when we eat it---in restaurants?
It may look palatable on the plate but according to Ayurvedic Medicine, vibration from those cooking the food is transferred to the food. Food is ultimately energy according to ancient principles. The way it is prepared, by whom and the state of their mind is a big factor in influencing how we are affected by the food.
If you have cooks who are constantly yelled at, pressured, berated and stressed out, behind the scenes in the kitchen-- then those vibrations of fear, anxiety, tension, worry, nervousness, and so on gets transferred to the food. If the cook is preoccupied with their own problems, household issues, personal problems and so on or if they are in a bad mood that day---then those energies go directly into the food. If the restaurant is excessively noisy and chaotic then we also absorb the chaos as well.
That is why if we are very attune to our body and mind--we will feel various things after we go to restaurants to eat. Often we do not feel quite right. We can feel depressed, restless, uneasy, have poor digestion or even get sick.
Of course food poisoning is a physical problem. However the vibration that is carried in food affects our body and mind.
Mother Ammachi http://www.amma.org/ and Swami Muktananda http://www.siddhayoga.org/. and http://www.nityanandatradition.org/ Swami Satchidananda http://www.integralyogainternational.org/ and many Ayurvedic doctors and Medicine texts often refer. speak, and write about this. The vibration and atmosphere of the kitchen is very important to create harmony so that food is assimilated in a healthy way.
Such enlightened teachers and many others suggest that the kitchen be filled with harmonious music: mantras, chanting music, classical music and so on to afford an atmosphere of peace, harmony, love and light. They suggest that the efficiency of the kitchen be such that the cooks are not stressed and they meditate and offer their cooking to the Higher Self-- before they start their working day to ease their mind of their worldly problems before the start of the day. By doing so the food will even taste better, be enriched by their good intentions and will carry the energy of the mantras and the harmony created by the cooks.
Ammachi once gave a beautiful story of a man who ate at a restaurant and later that night had a dream about terrible things the cook was doing behind the scenes. The newspapers after a few days revealed that the very cook at that restaurant was indeed involved with negative deeds. Through the food and its energy and vibration this man got the psychic energy from the negativity of the cook transferred to him.
As we progress in meditation, Yoga, and related pursuits in our own way that is comfortable to us (if we choose to do so) our system will become more sensitive and attune to these matters. We will feel this inside ourselves. We will be selective with where we eat and the type of restaurants to go to. We will know intuitively when food is not prepared well and when we are feeling the effects from the kitchen and restaurant atmosphere.
And let us not forget that we must treat waiters and waitresses with utmost respect and care. These people work hard and are vehicles of energy. They bring the food to us and set up the whole atmosphere of the table also. If their energy and attitude is ill, tired, and depressed then they will bring that to us. We must consider their feelings and remember to give generously when service is good, I feel.
Such principles begin in our own home. Often, when I am stressed tired and not in a great mood, then I do not prepare anything much but I eat something that is more simple. The reason is that the mood I am in will affect the food even at home or if it is for others especially. The quality of what I make is not as good either if I am not in the right frame of mind. Why burden others with my issues and transfer it to others when food is like a gift? It is good also at home to play peaceful and loving music or mantras while cooking. It makes the atmosphere charged with enthusiasm, love, light, and kindness that easily is passed on to others.
You know for those fortunate, "Mom's home cooking" always tastes best. Why is that? Because she is transferring her love to the food. Love in action mixed with her blessings creates the taste and the vibration that we resonate with.---Let us always be appreciative of our Mom's no matter what negativity is also there. Deep down, the energy of the Divine Mother is still within their being even though we may have difficult karma with them. When we realize this, forgiveness deepens.
More Later.

How Can Our Health Improve When We are Surrounded by Everything that Keeps us Unhealthy?
Have you all gone to a convenient store and just stood there as a witness? -- Almost everything is artificial or alcoholic. Usually only grapefruit juice, grape juice orange and tomato juice contain no sugar.
Some stores are starting to stock some brands of natural drinks and juices, however.
Most of the foods are processed, contain heavy salt, sugar, hydrogenated oils and have gone through so much modification.
Have you noticed that there is huge difference in energy from some of the larger chain stores and say a Natural Food store? When you go to a natural Food store, a different feeling comes to us, is it not so?
If we really notice, we feel calmer, more connected, and we often have a smile on our face looking at all the interesting items, colors, flavors and so on.
Yet when we go to a huge super warehouse type market, we feel stressed, overwhelmed, distracted, rushed and so on.
Why is that? It is because the products in natural stores that are selected are coming from a mind set that holds the intention for natural and holistic energy. This mind set intention is transferred to the store and the atmosphere is thus different.
As people begin to pay more attention to their body and mind, their own perception will heighten on these issues. Many things just will begin to "not feel right" and will feel out of synch or balance. We just stop going to different places that are not in harmony or we at least we are more aware of how different we feel in different settings. We let our body and mind be our guide.
How can we heal body and mind unless we are more aware of such issues?
Have you ever stopped eating canned food for a while and then when you go back to eating the canned food you get a metallic taste in your mouth? Some theorize that the metal that leaks into the food affects our body and can create chronic syndromes through heavy metal poisoning. Think about it this way also. Food in a can sits on a shelf for months and then we consume the food that has been sitting.---What kind of energy does this carry?
According to Ayurvedic Medicine, this kind of food carries little or no vitality or prana. Food is a form of energy and different foods and qualities of food are transferred into our bodies and do affect the body and mind. And so when we consume shelf-food excessively, it only adds to waste that accumulates within us. This waste makes our mind sluggish, slow and prone to mood issues. And, affects the overall degeneration of the body.
So many studies now point to the fact that many are in a state of chronic inflammation. The ancients knew this and recommended fresh wholesome foods. Society that continues down the processed road can be prone to chronic inflammation according to Eastern thought and now Western as more is being discovered.
Do we realize how much dairy products and other poultry and meat products contain artificial hormones? The animal is in a continuous state of hormone overdose, often pregnant or egg laying through its entire life cycle and we consume these products. Can we have empathy for these suffering creatures who are often in this state of pregnancy or constant milk productioni for example, their whole life cycle, immobilized and virtually imprisoned?
Do we see how much our vegetables are genetically modified, sprayed with pesticides, and artificially ripened using artificial gas--and then we consume these as well, because they are supposedly cheaper. As our budget is pressured, we are forced sometimes to use these cheaper products and yet, what affect short and long term do all these things have upon our body?
Diabetes, hypertension and other aspects of what is known as metabolic syndrome are on the rise--this is nothing new we hear it every day--but the numbers keep going up and up. Childhood obesity is rampant as generations of kids are fed artificial, processed, fast, and cheap government school lunch food.
What goes out the window first when budgets are cut in schools-? The creative arts and exercise--all vital components to learning and yet sorely neglected.
So then how can we ever be healthy with just the few points I touch upon here?
I do not think there is an easy answer, but I feel that all of this can only change if our consciousness changes. When we become more aware, enlightened, and and we expand our thinking--our intuition and our knowing increase. In this heightened awareness, such issues come to the forefront our of our minds.
We stop walking around like a zombie and really start seeing how the world pulls the wool over our eyes.
More next time.

Comments on a Water Ad: Can We All Begin to Wake up from Illusion?--Dr. Rama
also: http://www.drramamdblogfrog.blogspot.com/
http://www.drramamdheartinspirations.blogspot.com/
The other day I was in a health food store and there is a new brand of bottled water with a prominent display. The ad campaign shows a fabulously beautiful, very sensual and sexualized image of a model drinking the water as she was suggestively displaying her attributes--if you know what I mean.
I wondered to myself: Can we all just wake up? How long will these kinds of ad campaigns and other influences on our minds keep affecting us?
This old paradigm of sex selling everything including bottled water needs to replaced by broader and expanded thinking, in my opinion.
What does this ad do to our subconscious mind? It keeps our thinking at a base level if we allow it to. For some, it makes us doubt our own Self-worth because our ego compares itself to what the model looks like. Then it sends the message that if we drink the water we will somehow be sexier and more beautiful and youthful. We then fight with ourselves and berate ourselves (if that is a sensitive issue)--particularly if there are parts of our Self and parts of our body that we do not like or we are very sensitive to. All these mental and emotional processes happen in a fraction of a second as we are triggered by the ad.
Or, we do not have these issues but we just play along with the illusion and still buy the water because our desire for such beauty and sexuality is stirred up. We associate the desire with the water with the desire for greater sexuality, sensuality and beauty and this increases sales.
Then, we think that if we buy the water, somehow we will fit the image and lifestyle of the illusion of what the model in the picture lives. Meanwhile who knows what the model in real life is really going through. They may be almost homeless making ends meet, hardly the lifestyle they are marketing in the ad---do we really know? So we play into fear, insecurity, worthlessness and so on--the very thing the ad campaign wants us to do (by putting such images in its campaigns) to buy more water to increase their profits.
Does it bring us more sexuality to buy and then drink that brand of water? Not sure. There is nothing wrong with individual choice, of course. My point is to stop and understand what we are doing and what they are doing before we make a choice. And, we have the opportunity to just develop conscious awareness more and more by waking up to the processes and forces in this world. It is a moment by moment practice. We do this if want to be ultimately free from the bonds of the limited and narrow mind.
So realize that it is all illusion. Remember, it is only bottled water. "Water in a bottle for a price" with a market campaign that has been sexualized.
And realize that such campaigns would not exist if they did not work. Why would they use them if it did not help sales?
When we wake up then such sale campaigns have no meaning and will fall away in the 21st Century because they no longer affect the public and so it does not work to sell products and amass dollars. We graduate from these kinds of influences because our mind is more evolved to realize what the ad and its company is trying to do. Our Light inside does not allow such illusions to penetrate our thinking and affect us in any deep way.
Like this, there are countless illusions in this world. It is like a hall of mirrors--reflecting to us where we need to wake up change and evolve.
We take it at our own pace. However, can we just kindle a little more wisdom each day to see what is going on in the world that affects our minds? The more Light of wisdom we generate the less all this illusion can create ups and downs and highs and lows. We become beacons and pin points of Light---to shine upon the illusion that is always being created around us in this world to the best of our ability.

2011-12 Are Times of Extraordinary Potential Transformation--Check Out Those Making a Difference In the World- DR. Rama
Please click on Mirabai Devi's new website and two must see You tube interviews that are directly on her website. Thanks http://www.mirabaidevi.org/
2011-12 are times of enormous change on the planet and within ourselves. We have the choice to get in touch with our destiny to help ourselves and this planet, to connect with those who truly love and support us (and we them), and/or remain stuck and even go backwards, knowing full well that we are not reaching our potential. We can choose whether to remain indifferent to our inner heart and love, and we can choose to harm or help those in need including the less fortunate (the ill, elderly, others, children, the environment).
It is all up to us.
I add on periodically on my blogposts those who are extraordinarily elevated and helping mankind in marvelous ways. Mirabai's ways are only one way, there are many, many, many doing wonderful things in the world and in all traditions and paths and those who go beyond tradition and path.
Check out Mirabai Devi's new website and also her original Mirabai devi "Darshan introduction video"--- on you tube as well. Wonderful colors, inspiration, photos and services...... http://www.youtube.com/ http://www.mirabaidevi.org/
