On Behalf of Mattias and I, we'd like to invite people who are willing to do notes for future broadcasts and telecasts to team up with us. Please let me know if you can do this and we'll start a rotating list for more people in the community to participate and then, all can continue to benefit from the notes!

REQUEST: When you host a skype broadcast, if possible see if someone in your community could do the notes for the calls and, if not, at least provide the questions in writing. You could send to me at [email protected]. Let me know of postings to the internet of the video file and if notes have been arranged for so we can easily share.

Thanks to Theo and Jane Hirschi for this webcast and notes and to whoever locally helped in writing the notes.

I know many translate these notes for people in their countries who cannot understand the questions and answers from watching the videos. Thank you for that wonderful service!

Recent broadcast with Belgium for which there are no notes.

Theo - Bhagavan we have some new Blessing Givers, which have been initiated since the 3rd December, there are a few in the room and some which are not here but are on the Conference Call and in 2 week's time we will have another 50 initiated, so I would really like you to bless them wholeheartedly that they are coming on board.

Bhagavan - Yes I will do that. It is very good.

Question 1

I understand that Bhagavan has said that all samskaras are stored in the Earth's magnetic field, and that this field is now decreasing and in 2012 will become zero for a few days, so the samskaras will vanish.

a) Could Bhagavan say more of how it will be in 2012 when the samskaras have gone. What will then be the nature of the mind?

b) How does this weakening magnetic field affect us mentally and physically?

c) Is it good to sleep on a mattress that has magnets in it?

It is our understanding that so far man has been existing and that by 2012 he will start living, so that is what we have been telling all over the world. It is a belief in Hindu scriptures that the universe is about 13 billion years old and that it is preparing for liberation by 2012. So now we built a nice grand house and now we entered the house and start living. So all these years have been considered as existing, just merely existing, working, existing not really living. That is what is suppose to happen in 2012. And the Indian Vastu, some of you must have heard about Vastu. It is all based on the magnetic fields. Now what we believe in 2012, the mind might let go of its hold on consciousness. Right now consciousness is being made use of by the mind for its survival. Now what is likely to happen is, slowly the grip might be lost and consciousness make use of the mind. The mind will still be there with its samskaras, but then it will not hold a grip on your consciousness as you are nothing but pure consciousness. When you apply the the word 'You,' 'You' refers to pure consciousness and you are not the mind. When you say "I am the mind," that is called the anatma - that is a mistaken identity. Now what is going to happen from 2012 is the mind is slowly going to lose its grip on human consciousness. Freed from the mind you will start living. As long as the mind is in control you are existing. You are not living. That hold will reduce in 2012. It is not just magnetic field, there are many other magnets also.  All of which is responsible for the phenomenon called 2012.

With regard to sleeping on the magnets, I have no idea about those things.

Question 2

With the recent global climate gathering in Copenhagen, it has been evident that many root causes have been overlooked, especially as to the extent of the role that food plays. With the livestock industry accounting for the majority of the world's deforestation, in addition to being a major contributor to greenhouse gases, how can these things be corrected if people are not willing to become vegetarian?

Not only this crisis, if fact any other big crisis has its roots in human consciousness. Human consciousness has been corrupted by the mind and it has become divisive in nature because mind runs on thought and thought is divisive. Thought is basically measuring. Yesterday and today, he and she, I and me, this and that. It is divisive in nature. The thought is at the root of all our conflicts. Thought is useful when it is required. In other areas it becomes a divisive force and the flow of thought is what we call the mind and as long as the mind is going to hold consciousness as its prisoner, all problem going to arise, not only this problem, every other economic problems, political problems, health problems, all problems can be traced back to this contamination of consciousness. So we have clean up man's consciousness. The ultimate solution is going to be only if we can manage this crisis in consciousness. We have to clean up human consciousness. That is what the Deeksha, the Blessing is all about and 2012 is all about. Unless we clear the mess in consciousness there will be no big future for us. So also with the cleaning up of this consciousness there is likely to arise a new kind of technology, a technology which will not take us back to the Stone Age but we of course obviously can not go back to the stone age, but it will take us forward without destroying the planet. So we could expect from 2012 to 2025 some very strange new technology emerging which could be very, very different from the present technologies and that technology could simply arise because of the growing levels of consciousness. So the ultimate solution is with consciousness. That is the answer to the second question.                                       

 Question 3

"Sri Bhagavan - what is the relationship between TRUTH, INTEGRITY & AWARENESS?"

Truth is things that are static, like "I am this, I am that," so it is something like a frozen picture of inner integrity. Whereas inner integrity is something alive, more like a motion picture. You can think of truth as a static picture taken from a camera, video picture, something very alive, where you are observing what is going on inside that is inner integrity which gives you a moment to moment. It is not static. So if you can get in touch with the motions of the mind, the movement of the mind, then you can say you are in inner integrity.  But then you are not in some confusion about yourself where you say "Yes I am that, I am this" then you will say that is true.

But then awareness is as you go deeper and deeper into inner integrity, you do not expect anything at all. You are not waiting for anything. You are not condemning anything. You are not naming anything as 'this is bad - this is good." The process of naming stops. When the naming stops the mind can no more function. The problem is you say this is jealousy. "Yes jealousy is bad, I must believe that I have jealousy, I must get somewhere." As I keep repeating and so on, there is nowhere to go - there is nothing to achieve.  All that is there is, are you aware of what is going on?  What is going on is not at all important, because you have no control over it. That is part of collective consciousness, which is like a huge ocean on which the waves are arising and ceasing, so you have no control over it. Someone in Beijing could talk and could very well affect you in Auckland or wherever you are, so we are all connected and you have no control over it, you merely a sub-system, an individual, who is part of a larger thing called the system, so you have literally no control of these things, all you can do is, you could just be aware of what is going on. If you are aware, at that moment, you are awakened. At that moment you are enlightened. If you lose it the next moment it's gone.

So it will again come back and again you could loose it and as you keep growing in awareness, the periods become longer in time and if it is still growing, its probably there all the time. So what is going on - if even an enlightened man can have a lustful thought. Then what happens is that he does not name it as lustful, no naming is going on, nor does he tamper with it, nor does he condemn it, he is just watching it, that's all.  To watch, is to be aware. To watch is to be awakened. To watch is to be enlightened. That is all. You are imagining that in doing that, you are going to get somewhere.  There is nowhere to go. There is just the watching, that is all and the whole moment is as such that there will come a time where the whole universe become alive and that we are moving into a state of awareness, including physical matter which of course is in the future. So you should not try to get anywhere, the mistake you are making again and again, you are thinking there is somewhere to get to. There is nowhere - where can you go. You can only be where you are. That is why I say the first step is the last step. There is no second step.

So you are worried about the content. There is no need to worry about the content. Worrying about content, is the problem. You say - "oh my God my mind is so terrible, this is happening, that is happening." That is the problem, there is no problem with your thoughts, at all. It is your worry about those thoughts. They are there. That is all. You can't do anything about them. The question is, are you aware and for that you must stop blaming. I could talk more about it, but then that will become a concept and you could get into a trap, so all I will tell you is, the content is not important. There is nowhere to go. Are you aware of the content? That is all, that is awareness. That is the answer to the third question, but as we go into future skype calls, I will be going into greater depth, depending on how much you are working on these things, and what your questions are, I will be helping you out.
