Former BJP President and Education Minister of India Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi Statement:

“It is painful to see young students from different parts of the country assembled for days on the streets of New Delhi. Their anxieties and concerns regarding the examination system are genuine and must be handled with empathy and a desire to find a lasting solution.

I fervently hope that this is not treated merely as a law-and-order issue to be tackled through the use of force. It is very painful to see that even young girls were brutally mishandled.

Such use of force shall alienate large sections of Indian society from the national goal of Viksit Bharat.”

Fearless revolutionaries like Chandrashekhar Azad made the ultimate sacrifice to give generations of Indians the RIGHT TO PROTEST. Respecting peaceful student protest is not “anti-national”—it is to honour the ideals for which our freedom fighters gave everything.

PEACE & ONLY PEACE IS MY WAY…
While at Jantar Mantar the protests remain peaceful I’m pained to learn that elsewhere some antisocial elements are taking advantage of the peaceful protests to provoke violence.
No matter what the other side does our response must only be flowers.
Please keep this tradition at all costs.

I’ve long maintained (for over 10 years atp) that the Indian education system is a scam. Honestly I’m tired of saying it again and again. Everyone knows the problem, but these days I have a different opinion on how to change it. Given the climate, it’s not a popular opinion but I’ll say it anyway. There’s actually two ways to do it and the best analogy I’ve found to explain it is actually from the anime Code Geass.

The first is to directly take on the system, through anger and being vocal about it. It’s the Lelouch approach. But over time you will find that in order to fight villains, you have to become a villain yourself. This path starts peacefully with a genuinely good objective but is often hijacked by people who just enjoy violence and don’t care about the mission. It’s still a necessary path and it’s important some people take it. And we have a constitutional right to raise our voices. Especially because students have lost their lives because of this system, it’s critical to be vocal and put pressure on it. Many of our own channels have been as vocal as we can. But my experience of seeing these over decades means that in a year or two we’re back in the same situation. Temporary solutions, temporary apologies. But a permanent problem with new faces.

There’s another path, the Suzaku path. The Suzaku path fully understands that the system is broken and there are villains. But the approach is to patiently and slowly change the system. In the real world that also means building viable alternatives. It’s the less flashy, less vocal but more effective path. Unlike the other one, it takes a long time, sometimes decades of doing things like creating jobs and slowly but surely influencing the system to produce the type of talent you need and thus also changing things in the process. The education system exists to serve the ecosystem of jobs so over time the system has no choice but to change.

Separately, I also think we really need better technology in our systems to prevent things like leaks. If people opt for the default path, we have a right to demand that it is at least fair. And a resignation to keep the system accountable is a correct ask. But at the same time we need alternatives for those who don’t make it in the current system. It’s brutal and unfair and I think many people are super talented but aren’t very good at giving an exam. We cannot judge a person based on just that. I hope to dedicate my life to helping build some of those alternatives and who knows, many one day that even becomes the norm.

@waitin4agi_ damn fine words

[thermo @DionysianAgent]

if you knew what doom scrolling and excessive social media usage does to your brain and nervous system then you would stop immediately and vomit all over yourself

it quite literally is a digital social matrix that keeps you trapped in lower states of consciousness

it can feel so addicting, the neurotransmitters get flooded with signals of acceptance, progress, consensus

you feel like you’re genuinely learning and progressing and building something

but unless you’re building products and a business then you’re fooling yourself - and even of you’re building tangible things, you’re probably still fooling yourself by using it as an excuse for excessive social media use

the truth is you quite literally atrophy your cognitive capacity of independent thought and understanding

you begin becoming dependent on ‘scrolling’ and getting information to soothe your nervous system, you begin becoming dependent on the opinions of other people to validate who you are

i’ve gone through it all myself, thus I know how the spiral works

from a psychological perspective, excessive social media usage will deeply harm your archetypal individuation

you begin outsourcing your own archetypes in order to others to validate them and reflect them for you, this projects accountability and integration away from yourself and makes you beholden to others for it

true full archetypal integration occurs when you have internalised all the archetypes to such a profound depth that the gods live within your mind and soul

social media fragmentation is when a thousand voices take this role instead

I implore vedic mysticism as one of the ideal systems for initiating archetypal awareness and integration because it explores the archetypes at a deep level of symbolic psychology

and while I often use the ancient egyptian for this, I believe it is often too complex to be understood properly unless you are connected to it somehow and/or advanced enough to understand symbolic holographic archetypal language dynamics - essentially the nature of heiroglyphs and the holographic symbolism of the ancient egyptian mind is too esoteric for most to understand, as the language itself becomes a highly structured imaginative language of symbols and imagery, which is quite hard to integrate and 'think in' unless you have a natural pull towards it

(even many of the most advanced egyptologists who spend their lives studying egypt and heiroglyphs are embarassingly ignorant when it comes to understanding ancient egyptian thought - this is precisely because the language is different to common language that it is almost alien to the mind to be able to comprehend)

I employ multiple different systems, because in essence all the archetypes are just poetry and language for the same thing

greek, egyptian, nordic, buddhist, vedic, sumerian, etc - each system just adds a new flavor of 'language' for describing the same dish - consciousness and life

if I am truly in my meditation bag then all my self-reflections and awareness and being bounces between my internal archetypes, as if i am not just 'me' but i am me with a pleroma of archetypes surrounding me who are also a part of me, the divine becomes an extension and reflection of the self

and these archetypes can become so powerful they even begin manifesting externally around me - like in heightened states my unconscious and subconscious begins externalizing itself in communication with me until reality itself is a reflection of my mind, a form of psychological symbiosis with reality and existence (like an electromagnetic gravity that orbits me and responds to my emotions and thoughts and everything i do)

thus understand - even i fear the highest states of meditation and concentration, because if you truly understand what such a state does to you, then you'll know that all your karma becomes exponential, every single thing you think or feel or do ripples across reality and reflects back, thus the more heightened the state of samadhi (concentration of essence and presence), the more intense the experience

because in 'true samadhi' the sense of 'self' dissolves and only pure awareness and presence remains, reality itself becomes an extension of the self, non-dual awareness, the mind becomes symbiotic and synchronized with existence itself - thus in such states everything becomes extremely sensitive to all that i experience, feel, think, do, etc

thus the only thing i fear is myself, that my passions and impulses corrupt me in heightened states and i lose control and cause undesirable outcomes

(if you do not have some sense of this fear, then you have never experienced true samadhi)

anyway back to archetypes -

when you are dependent on others for the archetypes, then your psyche will remain fragmented to some degree, as every piece you find in others is a piece that you have yet to fully internalize

but it is a natural part of development, whereas children get their initial archetypal imprints from their surroundings - for example the anima and animus from the mother and father, and even in growing up most integrate further archetypes from friends, family, and relationships

full psychological maturity requires all the archetypes to be integrated within you

once they are no longer voices of other people, but voices of the divine, once you reach the point where only divinity speaks within you, that is the final stage of archetypal integration

most of the vedic archetypes are different aspects and manifestations of the god-head (which just means supreme consciousness)

for example I mentioned Vishnu and Shiva recently - Vishnu and Shiva are just higher meditative archetypes of the masculine self - preserver (Vishnu - mind), transformer (Shiva - presence)

Vishnu is the preserver and protector of purpose and meaning, he represents the god-head as logical awareness - sudarshana chakra is often the ‘energy’ symbolized by Vishnu, depicted as a golden spinning disk, this represents the chakra (functional energy) of the logical mind, spinning and cutting away corruption and illusion until clarity remains (preserving meaning in all things)

Shiva is the transformer and protector of presence and being, he represents the god-head as intuitive awareness - the crescent moon is often the 'energy' symbolized by Shiva, this represents intuitive presence and also transformation, as the moon is often representative of intuition, presence, and also transformation through its phases of cycles and renewals

my mind is often like a spinning disk that cuts away all illusion until i can grip the true meaning of anything, and yet my presence is driven by intuition rather than rationalization

thus through higher meditations and archetypal integration, i can find unity with both Vishnu and Shiva as reflections of myself

and this continues across many archetypes

i use the Vedic here, but i can also use other systems for the same meaning, as supreme meaning transcends local pockets of culture, and realizes all mysticism as steps on the alchemical staircase of the psyche of self and existence, that the psyche of man and nature is one in the same, because we are of nature

thus the same goes for the other aspects and archetypes

my masculine self can find integration amongst many archetypes, and likewise can my feminine self

i have written a previous post about how the more masculine has a more feminine soul and vice versa - this is because the soul balances itself through gendered energies (i'll link below)

the first time i fully integrated my feminine side many years ago (through relationships and meditation and studies), i had profound visions of Kali and felt the air bend around me as if i was being watched, it was a special experience

i didn't fully understand it at the time, but the reason why Kali intuitively came to me is because Kali resonates deeply with the feminine aspects of me

Kali in sanskrit means 'the dark one' 'the black one' and is associated with time and the devouring of time

these themes already intuitively play out within my way of being, even just with my art and aesthetics, you see my pfp as a dark one, i play with it as provoking others as their shadow sometimes, but its also a symbolism for the unity of my integrated feminine aspect

you see Kali collects the 'heads of men' - similarly to how the feminine aspect within me seeks to destroy the egos of men, i cut off their heads and collect them - soul reaping, shinigami, as i have previously mentioned, this all reflects Kali as well

i do not talk about my anima as much because i like to play with it instead, Kali represents much of all these things, and is why she was among the first feminine divinity that came to me and that i integrated

naturally it was an integration with my more emotional and fierce feminine aspects - i have also integrated other feminine archetypes, but for the sake of this post Kali remains the most important in understanding, and also maintains coherence with the Vedic theme

this is also why i felt a natural romantic resonance and pull towards darkness and skulls

it was not anima possession, rather the opposite - it was anima projection, the desire to project and anchor my anima externally, to mold someone into it rather than being posessed by them - the two can seem similar, but in fuller awareness you'll realize it's completely different, as i can detach and maintain my anima coherence

anima projection can first happen after the anima has already been integrated and deeply externalized, because then it becomes the alchemical higher process, from integration to understanding to anchoring

thus how you view Kali represents a reflection of how deeply you understand

are you afraid of Kali? - your ego is fragile and needs liberation

but when you understand Kali as a liberator from illusion rather than a danger to fear then you have understood her correctly

when you understand her as being deeply full of care and love, that she cuts illusion not out of malice but out of care

in the image of this post we see Kali standing on Shiva

this represents the integration

Shiva is the masculine presence laying in stillness and intuitive embodiment

Kali is the feminine presence standing on top of the masculine intuition, as a deeply caring, but also fierce liberator of all illusion - her dance is an ecstatic flurry of spiritual violence, yet that violence is directed in service of protection and liberation

the image symbolizes me in some sense

The students are at top priority, educationally n security-wise, so they need not worry and have their parents worried for them. The Honorable Prime Minister has tweeted, and I am sure that he will take strict action against all those people who are responsible for this leak. So students, plz go back to your parents n homes.

Sonam, it's done, bro. Don't extend this. Keep the spirit for another day if there be a need, which I doubt, n eat something. If u want, will send u food from home.

India’s education system doesn’t create thinkers, innovator. It only creates employees. That’s why we produce millions of graduates every year, but so few inventors, scientists and world-changing entrepreneurs. This is the change that we need.

[Sadhavi Khosla @sadhavi]

During the Samudra Manthan, Amrit was not the first thing to emerge. First came Halahala, poison. Only after the poison was contained by Lord Shiva, the treasures started coming out, and finally the Amrit. Whether one reads this story as mythology or symbolism, it carries a timeless wisdom . Deep transformation often brings confusion, doubt, grief, anger, sadness, before clarity emerges.
