MY MIND OF GOD ... YOU (BAD) MAY TOUCH ME NOT

MY MIND IS GOD .. YOU (BAD) MAY TOUCH ME NOT

(It means that the negatives of life which are so prevalent in the lives of others ...

most people's lives are so mundane ... I am often bored with the constant complaints 

of others' aches and pains for I am free of them through the powers of my mind ... they

do not have the power to affect me in any way ... for I find myself able to see the

truths of life through my mind's eye ... define right from wrong instantly.

WHEN THE INCONSEQUENCES OF LIFE
HAVE TAKEN OVER
THEN MAN DOES SUFFER
THROUGHT THE CHOICES .. MADE.

I AM NOT FEELING WELL THEY SAY
LOOKING FOR A LITTLE SYMPATHY
BUT BUYING TROUBLE FOR THEMSELVES.
IN MY MIND ... MY THOUGHTS ...
I AM GLAD I THINK BETTER !

I NO LONGER FEEL BAD 
ANY MORE ... I HAVE TRIED
AND TRIED .. AND THEN TRIED SOME MORE.
BUT IN VAIN ... PEOPLE LOOK AT ME
AND WHEN I EXPLAIN ... ITS .. 
AS IF I'VE COME FROM SPAIN !

WHEREAS THE EXACT SCIENCE OF EVERY
RELIGION DOES TEACH
DON'T DO THIS .. OR ELSE
YOU'LL CREATE A HELL.
WELL NOT LITERALLY .. BUT LITERALLY !

THE HELL IS THE LIFE ..
ONE ... CURRENTLY LEADS,
AND ...
ALTHOUGHT THERE IS NO 
PHYSICAL BURNING .......

LIFE IS INTOLERABLE
THAT THE SOUL MUST FRET ..
TURNING AND TURNING ....
THIS WAY OR THAT
TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT'LL MATCH.

AND YET GOD HAS CREATED
FROM TIME TO TIME
A BOOK TO SHARE ... 
MASTERMIND .. FOR THIS NOW ..
DISPOSED  USELESS THOUGHTS
IN THIS WAY.
SO WHY DOES MAN SUFFER .. STILL ?

YES ... MIND CERTAINLY DOES
SUFFER ..
WILL NOT BEAR THE BRUNT OF PAIN ..
AND INTO THE BODY IT SENDS
ITS PUNISHMENTS.  
NOW ... SEE ITS CASTLE .. ITS BODY  .. 
FULL OF ILLNESSES.

A MIND IN AGONY ?
WHY MUST I ACCEPT IT SO ...
RIGHT BEFORE IT ... IS ITS 3RD EYE .. 
WHY MUST IT BEAR THE LOAD
UNTIL OR INTO ... ITS NEXT LIFE.

YET IN ZOROASTRIANISM
GOD DID SHARE ...HIS FIRST TRUTH
HE TAUGHT THROUGH ZOROASTRIANISM ..
HOW TO DISPOSE BAD THOUGHTS.

SO THAT MIND ....
MAY NOT REBEL ...
AND CARRY NO MEMORIES
OF PAST PUNISHMENTS.
AN ERASING ... FOR A NEW LIFE ?

FROM THAT DAY TO NOW
PUNISHMENTS TO THE MIND ...
LIMITED ... TO THEIR CASTLES
BURNT DOWN BY TIME.

I AM WISE .. MY CHOICES I MAKE
THROUGH WHICH I TAKE THE 
WHOLE WORLD FORWARD ....
TO TAKE MY CASTLE 
WHERE I MAY
THIS IS OUR PROFOUNDEST TEST
ONE WHICH I'LL EXPLAIN .... IN TIME.

FOR SCIENTISTS HAVE ALREADY DECLARED
THAT WE MAY LIVE
A THOUSAND YEARS AT A TIME
WHEN WE CHOOSE.

AMONGST MY FRIENDS
I HAVE MANY ... 
UNCLUED .. IN THE WAYS OF GOD'S WORLD
THEIR LIVES ARE BARE OF CREATION ...
WITH WHOM DO I SHARE ..
MY KNOWLEDGE PROFOUND ?

ITS BEYOND THEIR CAPACITY TO 
UNDERSTAND ...
OR HOLD THE CHEER OF A LONG
AND AGELESS LIFE ...
THEY LOOK AT ME WITH 
MOUTHS WIDE OPEN
AS IF I LIVED IN ANOTHER WORLD.

LITTLE DO THEY KNOW
LITTLE DO THEY CARE
THAT INDEED I DO 
LIVE IN A RAREFIED WORLD
WHERE GOD IN MY MIND
IS MY CONSTANT COMPANION.

MY CONSTANT REFRAIN 
IN MY INTERACTIONS WITH SOME ...
TO MYSELF I DO DECLARE ...
RODA ... YOU ARE SAD ..
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO FIND
GOD ...  LIVING THERE !!

ITS OK I GUESS ...
WHEN THE OCEAN IS DEEP
FISH OF ALL KINDS 
MUST ...  SURELY SWIM.

AS FOR ME I GO MY MERRY WAY
WHITHER I GO OR 
WHITHER I STAY ...
MY MEANDERINGS KEEP ME
CLOSE TO MasterMind .
 .. A BETTER COMPANION
I HAVE NOT FOUND.

PASSING ON THE BATON ... MasterMind ... A GIFT OF MY GRACE

PASSING ON THE BATON .... MasterMind ...  A GIFT OF MY GRACE

Arthur Ashe, The Legendary Wimbledon Player was dying of AIDS which he got due to Infected Blood he received during a Heart Surgery in 1983!

He received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
"Why did God have to select you for such a bad disease??"
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
50 Million children started playing Tennis,
5 Million learnt to play Tennis,
5 Lakhs learnt Professional Tennis,
50 Thousand came to Circuit,
5 Thousand reached Grandslam,
50 reached Wimbledon, 4 reached the Semifinals, 2 reached the Finals and when I was holding the cup in my hand,
I never asked God
"Why Me?"

So now in Pain how can I ask God "Why Me?"

_______________________________________________

In effect he is saying ... why not me ?  then why not my man .

Just because the man is a legendary player ... it does not automatically gift him all wisdom ... or the grace through them (mark these words well .. for they are truths that can prove bitter for anybody. Alas sometimes just the smallest error ... a lack of true wisdom ... must force you to look at things differently. If God is our creator ... surely there is wisdom too to delve into through the perfection of creation. 

If you read the Avesta and know the meanings of the words ... you will see that they are words of praise. When more people pray a for good mind; (God) becomes more powerful through us. Vohuman is the good mind and it exists in us all and we are the power that creates it.

 I never read words just once ... I read them at least 3 to 4 times. When you skim through words .. what happens is that the story does not touch your heart truly. It was just some random words ... feel good words really on the surface ,,, but go deeper .. like seeing the story through yourself .. then ask yourself ... would I be so easily pushed away .. if it was me ? So let me tell you another story ... mine ... someone reading my palm told me that I would die at around 45. So I was scared out of my wits and it played so much on my mind .. the tension ended up giving me diabetes and asthma and coughs and colds in endless bouts. So it was suffering too. Soon I became an author of MasterMind .... for there was no one who needed its wisdom more than me ... and I created it for my life ... but get this ... I just did not lie down and prepared to die. My book taught me to question all decisions taken by others for my life .. like my diabetes .. like my death prediction. In fact .. I was angry as hell ... and when I tried to stop my medication to be free of diabetes through the wisdom of my own book .. it took me a while to reach there ... for I cannot tell you the number of times that I read it. I thought (for by then the doctor was threatening to put me on insulin) for me there was no other choice but to believe in my book 100% for if I could not do that how can I expect others too. That God played me like an orchestra .. there was loud music and there was softness. I have never looked back for I had conquered the fear of death that controls us. It is by the way considered the biggest fear to control mankind. MasterMind is very very powerful for the more power you give it through your mind .. will be seen in the many gifts of grace you will be able to give yourself. Each one for themselves and God for us all but God must be treated like a royal guest in your own mind ... this when you learn to master ... for I question everything .. I am sometimes irreverential too .. but only to be the protagonist and the antagonist in my own mind to cull out the wisdom I receive through it. But it was the wisdom that first came to me as a powerful suggestion .. which I analysed to help myself. At this moment in time I picture myself as a mother oyster .. who refused to leave her oyster bed ... just to keep producing pearls of wisdom for others. I got the idea from Alice in Wonderland in the poem The Walrus and the Carpenter. I have watched it so many times ... it shows me the extra layers below the first viewing. In other words you become better at something simply by repetition.

BE AWARE OF THE MASTER OR BEWARE THE MASTER !!

BE AWARE OF THE MASTER OR BEWARE THE MASTER !!


Probably the first lesson
I did learn to see
From the Gathas of Zarathushtra
And my work with MasterMind
Was the seamless way in which
I had connected to God.

There was no demarcating line
Wisdom and knowledge were
All mine .. they were my pride.
I kept them in me 
as my dominant thoughts ...
Its the 3rd eye in me that saw ...
The 'I ' in me.

Would I want to clone me ..
In some way ... it is through the
Story .. that belongs to God
Which I understood and 
Shared with you as 
MasterMind.

I was Roda before
I wrote MasterMind
I did learn to submerge
My own identity 
to become a MasterMind
for the world.

Zarathushtra himself 
Showed me the pitfalls ..
Saw this peril  ..
And did declare 
Now that you know me ..
Beware Zarathushtra.

Beware Zarathushtra
Now why would he say that ?
Is that unkind ?
Of course not ..
He lived his life in the 
Glory of man as God.

So what was 'He' 
Who was 'he'
Is 'he ' the message,
Or is 'he' the messenger?
This question I ask 
Its a pertinent one.

Gave it 4 years of my life
To experience its truths.
I now put to you a question ..
Who will give you the message
If there was no messenger ?

That lessons are learnt
In Layers ...
By that he meant
He had chosen to do
God's work.
The gathas were his words
He was the messenger.

But he understood the 
Story of man cannot be written
Without God to guide all life.
His story lay in his lessons.
And this lesson came to me
When I was ready 
To understand it too.

Is there a God above me
Of course there is
We must never forget 
Our Creator.
But what I was made to do
I often did question why.

When it did not feel right ...
Everything was not always right
And I hurt to be the lesson
That came from suffering.

I so wanted to change the world
Through the world of god
That was my personal experience.
I often thought .. I am not 
Allowed to be .. all I want to be.

I'm not allowed to give
All I want to give
For the world of man.
Fears were thrown at me
I stood firm.

And then all change
Took place right within me
The way my mind moved
Within my head
Energy moving in so many 
Different ways.

Every tool in the world
Of God was for me to use
Zip zap or round and round
In me all moved 
Every tool that God has used
Was there to show me the way.

And I shall explain WHY
Till now the mind of man
Has been unaware of his
Most important tool
MIND .. CREATES 
MIND .. DESTROYS
EVEN LIFE  !!!!

So it was time to share
This most important lesson
Be careful what you think
When you err in

I felt so important 
To be one of the chosen few
To show the way
See me .. how ordinary I am
Yet my mind 
Is extraordinary. 

Is follow in the footsteps
Of the Creator
Who first planted the 
Germ of his ideas 
In my mind ...
Just to prove to me how 
Easy it was to do.

But that was because
God held my hand
He showed me my Mind
He sent his spirit angels 
And his little demons too
They were all his children.

RELIGION vs INDIVIDUALISM

You can follow the thread of this conversation .. but my reply is a lesson by itself 
so I have placed it here ...

http://zoroastrians.net/2014/11/22/religion-vs-individualism-how-free-is-faith/

Religion vs individualism

Leaving aside the above arguments .. the ability to interpret religion begins from various arguments .. and reflects the traits of individuals like kindness .. goodness, authority,truths.  The capacity of an individual to link to an adjective .. then gets reflected in their personal choices. Its how you approach religion that matters ... knowledge by itself is pure ... especially truths .. but they get open to outside influence through the mind interpreting it. Religion is pure but interpretations of various minds cause it harm when not done through the policy of live and let live. Its important to allow people to make their own mistakes for then the lesson is learnt well. Each life is highly individualistic and is for the specific purpose of growing spiritually and everybody does not need the same lesson as another. 

Like I come from kindness so when I simplified the gathas I left my personal touch on my work .. and when I understand that earlier translations too were undertaken by men living on this plane of existence .. and when I hold the power to spend time doing a piece of good work .. I cannot see how any one else has any say in the matter. Let history judge me as right or wrong .. the past is over along with the minds that controlled the past.   Besides I see that at least many many from all communities from all over the world come to read what I write including parsees. What ever work one does .. if it is done in the sanctity of a good thought ... gives the words momentum .. its like jet propulsion .. it drives itself. Judgements alone are self defeating .. for what we try to enforce .. if it does not have the will of God will never see the light of day. I have been privy to so much knowledge shared with me to protect my own life .. but which I too do not wish to share with the world until my book MasterMind sees its own success .. i.e. the world is good to me .. which will then allow me to be good with the world. And the amazing things I see .. is that the knowledge I have collated in my mind is lying around in the world at present .. but not even 1% of the world owns the right to use it .. their minds are closed to others' influences as being positive for their lives and thus the status quo.And the world remains where it is .. in a time warp of the past .. whereas new ways of interpreting what did not work in the past ... are what are considered quantum leaps for mankind .. and yes there are many in the world who are doing such things through the cutting edge of technology .. leaving digital footprints that are difficult to obiliterate.

I shall repeat the lesson of this golden spiral which uses pure mathematics to define creation. That a super duper mind conceived it .. is its pure elegance .. for it is seen in all of nature .. from the petals of flowers to the conch shell. That is one aspect of it ... but when I was reading the book The Mind of God wherein the fibonacci sequence is explained .. about a year ago .. God through my mind told me that this was important for me to understand for through it I would see how I would create my success in the world .. the quantum leaps that numbers take using this sequencing code as its backdrop. Working with God in mind has been an exhilerating experience ... taking me to the realms of mind seldom plumbed by a single individual .. for it is a choice.

Its another thing altogether that I have then used this as my signature for moderating the flow of energy in and out of me. Its much deeper of course but unless the mind is already attuned on such a journey .. it is difficult to explain to another.

SCHNOOM MAGIC

A THREAD OF A CONVERSATION ON FACEBOOK

I have this big book on the schnoom .. the magic part of our religion and while a lot of it is about rituals .. it represents the knowledge that existed then .. there is a lot of scientific data too.Imagine I bought the book at a white elephant stall at a mela for just 10 rupees. That the book came to me because of the value I placed on it .. obviously more than its owner who had let it go. Speaks a lot about how zoroastrians place a value on the knowledge of their own religion. Growing up I was lucky to have attended bhanwana classes right from a young age which kindled my desires and raised my vibrations right from the age when I believed in them without question. The first little prayer book for childrent is called Fravarane which means I BELIEVE. I WONDER NOWADAYS HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE EXPOSED TO SUCH A WAY OF LEARNING ... KNOWLEDGE SO DEEPLY INGRAINED ON THE PSYCHE THAT WHEN DOUBTS AND FEARS ASSAIL THE HUMAN AS IT MUST .. FOR THAT IS SPIRITUAL GROWTH .. YOU ARE FORCED TO GO INWARD AND LINK BACK TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART .. AND THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE CONQUERED THE WINDS OF CHANGE THAT CAME FOR YOUR SOUL. Yazdi you must take the time to read an explanation of the ashem vohu prayer which I have on my site here http://zoroastrianism-firstreligion.blogspot.in. You may remember that I had shared with you about 4 years ago on the phone ... that I had authored a book MasterMind. After researching so much data .. I have concluded that my book and the ashem vohu prayer carry the same meaning and I am proud that my mind allowed me to be able to link the 2. Guess that is why only me as a zoroastrian could have written my book. It came to me as a gift when I questioned Ahura Mazda in my mind .. why are zoroastrians not so proud of being zoroastrians ? why are they talking in negative terms of themselves as a dying community ? It is so much easier to believe that we are a growing community ... growth of anything is always in the future .. not the past .. the past is dead and only in the present can be believe in a better tomorrow. Funny how many parsis truly understand the concept of spenta mainyu and ahriman as actually creating a better or a worse future. Every thought analysed so that you know just what to expect from your life. That is not magic but linking to a knowledge that works like magic would. Positive thoughts bring positive results and therefore the thoughts must come first .. words strenghten those thoughts when they are shared with others and more begin to accept and understand this basic philosophy of our religion. Action is the result .. the last in the scheme of things.

ASHEM VOHU MANTHRA(meaning)

If a child tells you a beautiful dream, a wonderful story,in which he / she has many wonderful powers and all things are amazing and if you tell him / her that life is just like that, and can always be like that … you just told him/her about ‘Asha’ – Truth.

When you have aspirations and desires that do not limit your capacity…and enthusiastically wish for a world where all the restrictions are done away with and you put in enough will power and intensity into your aspirations…you have just invoked ‘Asha’. (magic is truth .. for then you invoke mazda (god) into your mind.) See some videos to understand that the world as it was .. little knowledge has changed drastically and people now accept themselves as real gods .. they then own magical powers. Zarathushtra shared this with us .. but alas the parsi community has no9t taught themselves to benefit from the many gifts lying in their own religion. I have even found some parsis critiquing schnoom knowledge ... for when they do not understand anything the only role left for them to play is to be an armchair critique and alas another generation has lost the battle with knowledge.

When, in your dreams there is always goodness without limit, beauty, and a constant and conscious desire for success, a perpetual miracle and magic …. that is ‘Asha’.

Even when your body feels its limitations, but you can still establish that luminous dream in it, of awesome powers, of marvellous possibilities… you have just recited the Ashem Vohu manthra.

When you suddenly feel a strong feeling coming over you that tells you [that even when things might not look so great] there is a magical beauty trying to realise itself , that magic is “Asha”.
