How does the body posture affect the eyelid lift and the mind?

I had done an intensive work on my own body and developed certain sensitivities that told me the connection among the three, but I wanted to throw away my own subjective perceptions out of it and make the system entirely objective as for the basic human body whether male or female.

Obviously I would go for a female body in order to cover the entire biological spectrum into my study that would leave not a single trace of doubt either of a subjective perception or of an incomplete study not taking both the gender variations - the male and the female.

I asked for it to a friend and she accepted to volunteer herself for the cause.

We started work.

I asked her to lift her solar plexus up, which she did.

Her body posture turned a little erect.

I had to get a thorough and an exact confirmation of the effect of each and every maneuver being done to the body posture, whether on the other parts of the body including eyes and eyelid lift or on the mind and its energy level - as the things had unfolded themselves to me personally.

The work was not easy and the spirit of my friend who had volunteered herself for the job was the most selfless one, for which I felt like saluting her repeatedly.

As she lifted her solar plexus while sitting on a chair without taking its rest on her back, she reported the back portion of her pelvis coming in closer contact with the seat.

I asked her if she could always sit like that for long hours whenever she did.

She said she would try and check.

Then I asked her to extend the said sitting posture to standing, walking, as well as to lying down, i.e., in any body maneuver throughout the day.

If she wanted to take the rest of the seat she was sitting in on her back, she could do so; but the only care she was supposed to take was that her solar plexus should not drop down for a single moment while doing that.

The next day when she came she was complaining of a muscle pain in her lower back.

I told her even I had it when I did it for the first time, and it would take no less than 72 hours for the pain in the lower back to go.

“Once it goes, it’ll go for ever!” - I told her - “And then we shall be doing our next maneuver with the body posture and see what its effects are.”

She listened patiently and went away determined to play the game she had decided to play with her mind-body system.

As we saw in the last post, a vicious circle of status quo gets established and maintained by the interaction and counter-interaction among the three variants of the human mind body system.

It is this vicious circle that resists any permanent healthy change in the diseased humanity that we all are the members of.

Now, these are the three points that we are dealing with:

• The body posture
• The eyelid lift
• The mind

How do the three affect one another and with what results?

As I told in the last post, the way we lift our eyelid indicates what dominant emotion our mind is with.

If the dominant emotion changes, the geometry of the eyelid lift changes too.

Just try it with yourself, imagine (like actors do and act!) being in a particular emotion and check how your eyelid lifts itself. You will yourself come to establish a connection between the two.

Any and every emotion stops the eyelid from opening to its fullest along and across its full length and breadth. It presses the eyelid down at this point or that along its width and across its opening length.

And if we open the eyelid full along and across its total length and breadth, no emotion is left there in the mind.

Rather a new thing fills up the mind, which even stops every single thought into it.

It is interest.

Being interested in what we are looking at!

Don’t confuse being interested with liking a thing and therefore looking at it with more gusto.

Rather it turns us interested in whatsoever we are looking at, at that particular moment, whether we like it or not.

In fact liking and disliking are emotions too.

Being interested takes us out of our likes and dislikes as well.

Opening the eyelids right takes us out of our status quo that our mind is in.

There are hundred and one ways of opening the eyelids wrong but there is only one to open them right.

Now, what effect does it have on the body posture that we have gone habitual of keeping since our childhood?

It doesn’t immediately affect the posture, it being a less fluid and more rigid thing.

It is real difficult to break the status quo of the body posture through eyelid lift or mind shift.

It takes its own sweet time.

But we can fasten the process if we go the other way round.

I mean to say the way of changing the geometry of the body posture!

We’ll be going into its details in the next post.

Eyelid lift is what connects the body to the mind.

The way we lift our eyelids, decides what emotion we are in.

Or the emotion we are in, decides how we shall lift our eyelids.

Generally individuals are having a complex array of a combination of emotions that they normally live in.

Whatever the variations in their individual psyche are, are minor deviations from this personal array only.

So, normally an individual has her/his own personally peculiar eyelid lift that s/he lives and interacts with.

And that is what gives different expressions to different individual eyes.

It not only gives different expressions to different individual eyes but also to different individual faces.

And it not only gives different expressions to different individual faces but also TENDS to give a different individual posture to different individual bodies.

Rather it DOES, in the due course of time!

Now let us take a break here. What I am telling you right now in these lines is written there in no book of knowledge on earth. It is what I myself deduced after a long, painstaking research on my own and my volunteers’ bodies.

The habitual lift of the eyelid has a connection not only with the mind but also with the time we are focused at.

It may be distant past, recent past, immediate future, distant past or the very present, i.e., right now - here!

With ‘right now’, it is ‘here’ also; meaning thereby that it is not only linked to time but to space also. The right lift of the eyelid makes us see one single point in space more vivid and clear than the vicinity around.

It makes us focused at one single point in time and at one single point in space.

But that is when the said lift is a perfect one without any unhealthy distortion into it.

OK, over with our break now!

The habitual kind of eyelid lift decides the posture that the body is going to be set in, in the due course of time.

Now, this individual habitual kind of eyelid lift is what the habitual pattern of an individual mind is.

Body tends to acquire a habitual posture due to the kind of mind it has.

Or due to the kind of lift that it normally opens its eyelids with!

But then the body posture that has been acquired over the due course of time TENDS to keep the eyelid lift and the mind the way they are.

A vicious circle of status quo gets established and maintained by the interaction and counter-interaction among the three variants of the human mind body system.

It is this vicious circle of status quo that resists any permanent healthy change in the diseased humanity that we all are the members of.

Now, these are the three points that we are dealing with:

• The body posture
• The eyelid lift
• The mind

I will start discussing in my next post how the three affect one another and with what results.

Freedom from fear and greed!

It means saying bye to all emotion in essence.

Are emotions necessary in life?

Our culture thinks so. It thinks that a man without emotions will either turn a stone or a machine. But it does not know that these are emotions only that turn us into a machine. They are so addictive in nature!

Emotions are thoughts imbibed with energy into them. Different kinds of emotions are simply different kinds of thoughts with the same energy imbibed into them.

Now, where does this energy come from in order to get imbibed into our thoughts giving them altogether such a different shape as to be known by a totally new word named emotion?

Are we born with them?

No, when a child is born, s/he has an almost empty mind with her/him. And yes, the brain is inactive too.

We are born with instincts and senses. Both take their inputs to the brain. But the body cannot support itself. The brain cannot order the muscles to perform a required physical action. It needs a caretaker to do so. The mother plays this role.

And so the helpless child gets attached to her for the instinct of her/his survival. It is a temporary phenomenon that has been designed to stay there till the child is helpless. The moment her/his physical organism achieves maturity, her/his mind is also supposed to turn adult.

Adulthood means freedom from all attachment, all emotion, all dependence upon others.

But emotion means dependence along with attachment or detachment either in the form of liking a thing (positive emotions - desire and hope) or in the form of disliking (negative emotions - fear and hatred).

We need to come out of this dependence in order to turn adult and embrace freedom of both, the body and the brain so that the two are able to work efficiently in conjunction with each other.

They don’t, when adulthood is not able to get rid of mind and its prejudices.

In fact, we never turn adult; and always keep desiring for more money and more love.

Here some of you will tend to interrupt and assert that at least without love, life will remain no life at all. I agree life without love will no more be a life worth living; but it is not the love we desire to get, but the love we unconditionally give to others that makes it worth it.

In fact, such unconditional love is not an emotion but energy that gives us passion to live.

It is compassion. It is no emotion. Being unconditional, it gives us freedom; it does not let us remain attached or dependent.

Life turns full of all the bright colors of love, freedom, care and responsibility; none of which passes to be an emotion at all.

But what happens if we turn our attention on getting love rather than giving it to others without any condition to get it back from them?

And why does it happen so that we want to get it more than we give it; and also if we give it lots, we do so only till the other reciprocates with the same amount back. The moment s/he stops doing so, our love also retreads its steps.

The mind goes slave to the reactions that we do to other people’s actions and our freedom to do our independent actions is lost in the oblivion.

We never turn adult and we never turn free of the basic roots of emotion - the fear and the greed.

If fear is tails, greed is heads.

They are the two sides of the same counterfeit coin.

Avarice simply means desirous of getting a thing - something.

Why desirous?

What if I do not get it?

I fear that situation. I do not like not getting it.

We dislike what we fear.

We like what we desire.

Desire itself is greed.

So the crisscross of our fears and avarices gets woven onto the lit surface as well as in the deep dark corners of our mind imparting to us a complex array of all the emotions with which we live all our life from birth till death.

All avarices have their conjugate fears as the opposite side of the counterfeit coin that mind is.

Vice versa every fear has its conjugate avarice as well.

If I fear a thing, I desire it not to be there. I desire whether I am hopeful or I am not.

If I am, I am a positive thinker.

If I am not, I am a negative thinker.

Either way, fear and desire are common to my mental reality.

Hope is the mask that hides our fear behind it.

Fear turns unconscious.

So does the associated greed!

Behind a positive thought, there lie all our unconscious fears and avarices.

Same way behind a negative thought, there again lie all our unconscious fears and avarices.

So it is thought that is culprit in essence and not the positive or negative of it!

We live with our unconscious fears and greed all through our life, which we do not know what they are, since they are not conscious to our awareness.

Our awareness lies half awake - half asleep, all the time fearing and desiring this, or that, or else something else!

Life goes chaotic.

If facing the unconscious fear eye to eye for minimum threshold duration of time can get us permanent rid of it, it is quite probable that facing the unconscious greed eye to eye does the same to our psyche.

So when we design our fear-facing device, we can also plan making a greed-facing device for us too.

There does not seem to be any third possibility of any kind around the deep dark corners of our mind possible; since fear-greed pair is what the root is, the rest all simply being the branches and the leaves only.

We need analyzing it more extensively by going deeper into it and coming with an intensive innovation out of it.

Reality is what exists out there; and we are able to sense it too, in here.

Virtual reality is what does not exist, but we are still able to sense it.

It is a kind of make-believe delusion.

Like a ghost!

Yes, a ghost would be so, if every single person could sense it the way another does.

But everyone does not sense ghosts.

So, they cannot be categorized as virtual reality.

You may call them our flights of fantasy.

Our personal flights!

What I am talking about is a flight that anyone can take anytime!

One only requires a few tools for that.

And we will vouch for the realness of the experience that this virtual device makes us sense through our sense organs.

Although it is virtual reality; yet, to our perception, it is as good as real.

Are we aiming to fool our perception?

No, we cannot; since our brain knows it is virtual reality only.

So, what are we going to achieve out of this virtual reality experience?

We are only going to provide an efficient aid to our imagination.

All fear is imagination. Is it not?

It is only in the mind. Yes!

We imagine our fears, and then we get scared of them.

Our mind assesses the probability of this unwelcome imagination turning into reality.

Of course at a future moment!

It is the probability of that future moment going to actualize that scares us in the present.

But if our mind knows that the probability is zero, and still the imagination is so vivid as a reflex biological action that the body jumps into the inevitable experience of the unconscious fear (not fears!) stored inside it since eternity, the mind goes into the oblivion for the duration of the experience.

It thinks not!

The body takes this virtual reality as a real one. Once it enters it, there is no way to come out of it. Something like the inevitability of completing the game of Jumanji once you have moved your first move in it!

And the body faces the fear.

The personal unconscious fears since birth accumulated till date!

Also the fear of the collective unconscious of the whole humanity accumulated since even before the mutation started the evolution!

And when body faces them, brain sees clear since the mind has gone into the oblivion.

Brain is not scared of the pain going to be inflicted at a future moment.

Brain lives the present and plans the future on the spur of the moment, not as an anxious thought but as a skillful game right now and here.

Brain has no time to fear. It is every moment busy, only if the mind does not enter its arena to render it ineffective.

Right now in our virtual reality experience, we have managed to take leave of our irrational mind for the time being; and so the brain is free to see what the body is doing in order to face the fear that has been there with it since times immemorial.

It is a do or die situation.

Either body succumbs to fear, or succumbs fear to reality - characterized by the brain going free of the clutches of the mind and the body going free of its own rigidities responsible for all the chronic illnesses that it had contracted since long!

We can design our virtual reality in a way that the first possibility is just turned zero.

Then it remains only a question of the duration of time required to effect a permanent change in the geometry of the body musculature, that takes it beyond a threshold; which once it crosses, it never comes back to its old habitual pattern of muscular geometry.

The permanent change thus gets effected for good!

Tackling an extreme emergency face to face takes us out of our mind as well as out of our body immediately within no time, and we are just left with an absolutely unconditioned mind and an absolutely un-fatigued body ready to look at the emergency straight into its eyes.

Now the question is that if an emergency can cause such a total change in the body so instantaneously, can it somehow be made a lasting one also?

Lasting for life!

A trillion dollar question!

Can a well-designed emergency solve our problems on earth?

We have to take it face to face. There is no other way it can be tackled in. It just turns us into our natural self.

And our natural self is healthy; in fact, very healthy! It is fast, it is sensitive, it is flexible, it is agile, it is open, it is relaxed and it is alert.

Our natural self dissolves all the dysfunctions of our acquired self in one single moment, whether of the body or the mind.

If it stays there for good!

That is only possible when our response to the impending emergency crosses a certain threshold, keeping the intensity of the response at a certain minimum level for a certain minimum duration of time.

We need to design an emergency for that.

The design needs to be such as threatens our unconscious mind even when the conscious mind very well knows that the emergency is not a life-threatening one as such.

Dug out of the deepest groves of our mysteriously irrational minds, all our unconscious fears just come on its surface and stay there for long.

They just make us feel every single moment of their presence over there that they are going to kill us the very next moment.

Until we come to terms with them and start taking them as facts and not as fears!

Now we can look at them into their eyes face to face, simply by opening our eyes full.

Can you open your eyes FULL (in fact, the fullest) right now?

Try it and check for yourself how soon you tend to close them half, the way they have been habitual of being kept all through your life.

The entire skull starts screaming within no time, for them to go back to their cozy, half-closed state.

How can such eyes look at the face of emergency into its eyes face to face?

Emergency does so and scares us to our death.

We avoid and escape.

No, let us give it a tit for tat.

As we do so, it stops scaring and starts smiling as if it was just kidding with us.

And it is a fact!

Eyes are the windows of mind.

The moment we open them full, we not only start realizing the futility of fear but also sensing the compassion of beauty much, much deeper.

Open the windows and the fresh air starts circulating, but to the coziness-loving nincompoop that we are, it feels like a storm and we immediately close the windows back again.

Only a real (or virtual!) storm can break them open for good!

How to create such a strong virtual storm that remains safe enough not to harm the windows beyond repair?

Emergency has the power to turn us on our own.

There is no help available from any corners around since it does not give us time to arrange any of these.

It catches us unawares.

We are just left bare entirely on our own resources, whatever we have at our disposal right now and here.

We have to face it with what we have in our hands.

Or else it will kill us!

In no time do we summon up all our energies, scattered here and scattered there, onto one single front, i.e., facing the emergency IMMEDIATELY.

There is no fear in our mind anymore, since if it were, we would not have been able to summon up all the energies and have a laser-like focus onto what the emergency is threatening us with.

Fear eats up our energies. Does it not?

We forget everything and just become the action against the emergency.

Nothing else do we remember anymore!

Because if we remembered, it would again require energy for that; and we simply cannot afford to scatter energy even a bit!

In that case we would not be able to take the right action efficiently against the imminent onslaught of emergency.

In a laser-like focus, we forget our past and face the emergency with an empty mind.

Because it is only with an empty mind that the brain can work at its best and at its swiftest!

And whatever action is performed in such a state of the most acute awareness does NOT get registered in the mind.

It does not leave a single mark of it in our memory.

It does not mean that the memory cells of the brain stop working; in fact, it does get recorded there in a crystal clear way.

But the mind is not there at all at that particular moment to register it in its psychological memory; and even if it were, it would have refused to register it - so unbelievably impeccable are the actions of such moments that the body takes against the emergency.

OK, mind shuts off, brain takes over the complete charge of the situation in the emergency; but what does it do to the body that immediately goes capable of performing the unbelievably impeccable action against the situation that it would, otherwise, never even have dreamt of doing in the so-called mundane situations?

Body comes out of its rigidly armored-cum-lethargic, closed disposition and immediately jumps into a ready and relaxed, open posture of flexible musculature.

Obviously a flexible musculature can flex its muscles better than a rigid one!

At this point, let me remind you of my experience of a middle-aged mechanic saving a child from being run-over by a speeding car through an almost impossible maneuver of his body in order to perform the IMPOSSIBLE feat in the impending emergency that he did, when I was a 10 year old boy:

The first incident - a miracle - is of when I was around 10 years of age.

I had gone to my maternal uncle’s place in Dehradun to spend my holidays there along with my parents.

One day I was going on the road alone for a stroll.

I have been very fond of strolls since my early childhood.

I was on the Bindal Bridge and had already crossed it on my way to Connaught Place.

Suddenly I saw a little kid in the very middle of the road and a car speeding toward him with hardly any distance left between the two.

There were some shops around but the road was quite broad over there and separated them from the middle of the road by quite a distance.

You couldn’t imagine the kid would be saved.

He was simply sure to be run over by the high speeding vehicle.

In my perception, then, nothing else but a miracle on earth could have been able to save him.

It was a sure death, I thought, and closed my eyes.

I wouldn’t be able to witness the tragic scene!

I kept my eyes closed and waited for some kind of noise generated on the road after the accident would have taken place.

But there was no screeching sound of the car applying its brakes after it would have crushed the kid to death.

Rather there were some excited voices of the people around, exclaiming applaud!

I, hoping against all odds but still fearing the worst, slowly opened my eyes.

And the miracle had happened! The kid was safe!!

The car had passed by without applying any brakes.

And the kid was saved by a middle-aged gentleman who, at the moment, was lying down on one side of the road with the kid safely tucked inside his arms.

A few people had gathered, running toward the man, around him; and were creating exclamatory voices excitedly, applauding and praising the man!

After all he had done a miracle!

I ran across the road toward the man and asked him, excitedly:

“Sir, how could you perform the miracle? I had spotted you before the accident (!), and you were there on your shop at least 20 feet from the kid - that was more than the distance between the kid and the car! But then I had closed my eyes. How were you able to reach the middle of the road in the blink of an eye and save the kid?”

The man gave me a cool and relaxed look that comes after doing something really challenging and worthwhile in a total perfect way, nodding his head in a ‘no’ and stretching his hands in an awe.

He himself didn’t know how it all had happened and what, in fact he had done!

I looked toward the people around with the question in my eyes and they immediately started describing the whole incident of the miracle that had taken place in those 2 or 3 (at the most 4) seconds of duration.

O my God! What a story was it!

Till date it is as fresh in my visual and audible memory as it just has happened right now!

Even listening to it was as exciting as witnessing the miracle….

“He jumped like a cheetah,” one of them extolled him taking the kid from his arms, “impossible!”

“Oh, it was like lightning,” another exclaimed with awe in his eyes.

“We just saw a streak of light, that this man had become, emanating from his shop and falling on the kid as it enveloped him, and picked him up to snatch him away from the open jaws of a sure death that it had to be,” a third one emoted, “of course impossible!”

This middle-aged gentleman who had miraculously saved the kid, was a car mechanic working in his shop when he saw the draconian car pouncing upon the kid with its high speed it was at.

And he did the impossible!

“No, I didn’t really do anything! I only remember seeing the kid going to be overrun by the car, ….and now you are saying that I did all those actions which I never did all through my life,” he himself was amazed at what all had happened within no time at all!

“It just happened. It just got done,” he continued.

“You must have been endowed with some divine power at the moment by that almighty God to do the impossible,” a fourth one ideated.

“I never sprang like a cheetah in my life. I am not an athlete too,” the man was really getting surprised himself at what an impossible-looking feat he had been able to perform, and that too, without any preparation or planning at all!

And now, immediately after, he had forgotten it all!

“Are you tired? I mean, exhausted,” I asked him.

“No, not at all; rather I am finding myself absolutely fresh as if invigorated by some invisible stroke of energy within me,” he was really meaning each and every word he was mincing, it seemed.

He was not tired. He was not exhausted even after performing an almost impossible task, which the best athlete of the world wouldn’t have been able to do.

Was there some secret in it?

I started thinking.

I was 10 years of age then.

The whole incident got imprinted on my mind as a vivid visual stored into it and kept its existence intact till in the 53rd year of my life it again surfaced up asking for an explanation for the process of getting tired or fatigued after doing something really tough with a great effort on our part.

But this man had not made any effort at all!

And the impossible had got done in the best possible way.

Rather, the way!

The only way!

The way didn’t tire him at all.

He was as fresh and relaxed as after a good night sleep.

There is something that the humanity is missing.

We must discover it, what!

This was what the emergency did to the body, to the mind and to the brain of this middle-aged man who saved the kid like a superman in the comics only does!

Now the question is that if an emergency can cause such a total change in the body so instantaneously, can it somehow be made a lasting one also?

Lasting for life!

A trillion dollar question!

Can a well-designed emergency solve our problems on earth?

Fear tends to turn unconscious very fast.

It is because we tend to forget it as soon as possible.

We suppress it before we have stood in front of it face to face.

We avoid facing it.

We busy ourselves with greener pastures that positive thinking provides us with.

Fear is dealt with its opposite that is hopeful greed, which essentially positive thinking is.

So, fear is pushed back to the dark domains of awareness, where it is rendered into the hands of the oblivion making itself cognitively ‘unknown’ to our conscious awareness.

Our unconscious is a large storehouse of our forgotten fears.

As humanity’s fears are more or less similar in nature, it develops a collective unconscious common to all its members that we are.

But it does not stay inactive lying over there in a dark, remote corner of the mind.

It exerts its pressure over our awareness in order to turn itself conscious.

It constantly and continuously keeps doing so.

This is what expresses itself in our personality as the faculty of negative thinking.

We are trained anew to suppress it further in the hands of what all is sold in the name of positive thinking on earth.

Positive thinking makes it a point to keep our unconscious as unconscious only, and never lets it be conscious to our awareness.

Hence we never go free of this ‘unknown’ face of fear that our unconscious keeps threatening us with.

We always keep feeling like missing something, which we do not ‘know’ what.

And the moment fear turns unconscious; it sits deep into our body posture without telling us that it has!

It expresses itself as our likes (positive thinking) and our dislikes (negative thinking) in the mind.

It expresses itself as conjugate pairs of over-contracted and over-stretched muscles in the body, which are responsible for generating all the seven chakras that the human body on earth has gone cursed with.

It starts from pelvis and goes up to the crown of the head in order to distort our body posture permanently.

Our body is neither ready nor relaxed even for a single moment throughout our life.

Nor is the mind - either ready or relaxed!

It always keeps thinking either about past (even if a second before) or about future (even if a second after) and never fully attends to the immediate reality impending upon it.

All psychological thinking springs out of our store of unconscious fears only, be it the much sought after positive thinking or the much scared of the negative!

Our mind is not empty enough to deal with the new observations including imminent dangers along with the extremes of perceptions.

Our body is not fluid enough to deal with the new stimuli including bacteria and viruses along with the extremes of sensations.

They fall prey to them, and they fall ill!

Chronically ill as well as the way of acute attacks of diseases!

What if we could make our unconscious fears conscious and deal with them - right now, here - face to face; until and unless they make their face crystal-clear to us?

We are simply dawned upon with the realization that they were nothing more than our stupidities in the body as well as in the mind.

We can now laugh at them.

And as we laugh, we go free of them - once and for all!

And also, as we are able to laugh at them, we go free of all our chronic illnesses along with our basic lack of immunity warding us against acute attacks of diseases, whether mental or physical - once and for all!

Now the question is as to how we can make our unconscious fears conscious and deal with them - right now, here - face to face; until and unless they make their face crystal-clear to us!

Only an emergency has the power to do it.

And that too, a well designed controlled emergency, which does not lend itself to any defense mechanism that could ever be created against it in order to ward it off either in the body or in the mind.

If it is there somewhere; it is no less than trillions of dollars value for the sake of the ultimate health of the mankind on this planet called earth!

Fear of death is the most basic fear of life.

Fear of life is another!

We fear life because it reminds us of our death, and keeps doing so every single moment with each and every breath that we take in, in order to survive a few seconds more.

Breathing unconsciously reminds us of our death that we could have embraced, had we not taken our first breath the moment we came out of our mother’s womb.

More so with inhalation than with exhalation!

Breathing is life.

But breathing is an unconscious effort as well.

This means life is an effort, although in an unconscious way.

Inside the womb, we never had to make any effort whether to breathe or to eat.

Life was all peace.

As soon as we come out, death threatens us.

Fear of death becomes the fear of life.

We borrow a few moments of  life from death through breathing a little oxygen in.

Oxygen turns into carbon di oxide very fast.

Fear of death again envelops us unconsciously.

We borrow a few moments of life more from death through breathing a little more oxygen in.

Our life becomes an unconscious struggle to escape death with each and every breath of it.

We live with inhalation rather than with exhalation of breath.

We want to take more oxygen in than we throw carbon di oxide out.

So, the lungs are never empty of carbon di oxide in them.

How can we take more oxygen into them then?

Our breathing turns shallow.

The more it turns shallow, the more the unconscious fear of death envelopes us perpetually as well as perennially.

The unconscious fear of death expresses itself as the conscious fear of life.

We fear life.

In fact, the shortage of oxygen with each inhalation of ours makes us fear life.

We want to take in more and give out less.

How is it possible?

But the whole world culture has turned like that!

The basic contradiction between what we want and what the scientific reality is as far as comforts of life are concerned!

The more we want the oxygen in, the less it gets inhaled.

The fear of death keeps its clutches tight on us.

Trying to inhale more than exhale keeps our unconscious fear mounted perennially onto our skull and into our body.

This fear constantly keeps pulling our skull as well as our torso down and tucking them in.

It does not let our eyes open fully too.

That is why we are always in a state that is half-asleep or half-awake.

We never come out of this slumber in our life.

We keep dreaming in the day too.

We keep thinking - chewing the cud of the past!

We never meet life afresh.

Meeting life afresh turns our unconscious fear into a conscious one.

The conscious fear of death - not the thought of the fear, but the real fear as such - turns breathing into an effortless one; if we keep facing it in its full intensity for an unspecified duration of time.

Exhalation turns more pronounced than inhalation is, in a spontaneous way.

The skull and the torso open out as well as get stretched up permanently!

The body embraces health and the mind goes empty paving way for the brain to work with full intelligence.

Now the question is: how to turn the unconscious fear of death into a conscious one - not the thought of it but the real fear as such!
