The problem with main stream scince is that it ignores the hidden codes to the secrets of life that are there in our mythology, Holy Scriptures, traditions and common sense.
Scientific man is on the right path with cutting edge knowledge when it comes to the hard sciences like physics, math and chemistry, while when it comes to our self knowledge he is still too confused. Main stream science especially ignores the fact that the science of living is also the art of living and that the spiritual man is way ahead when it comes to common sense: the since of the art of living.
"The Lord, before whom I walk faithfully, will...make your journey a success." - Genesis 24:40
The problem with main stream since is that it ignores the hidden codes to the secrets of self/life/living that are there in our mythology, Holy Scriptures, traditions and common sense. Take any line from the Bible where it talks of success and it says again and again about being faithful which boils down to being pure, honest, truthful... The question is how do we make mankind pure en-mass? Should we stick to the way of the scientist or also accommodate the way of the artist? What if there is no clear cut pure science way of understanding and becoming our true self and there is a way through common sense which is the distilled essence of pure wisdom that is gained through millenniums of experiences.
In fact as the science of emotional intelligence currently stands the edge is with the knowledge of common sense more than with science. The knowledge of the spiritual master sages when decoded in the light of practical applications is more effective and more crystal clear than the science presented by the scientists. So should we reap the benefits of the insights of our wisdom sages or should we dismiss their proposals as out side the paradigm of science? Should we find pure happiness through the insights of the Buddha, Confucius, Jesus or should we dismiss their wisdom as mere beliefs. I think we should decode their insights under the microscope of science; And accept their advice as science if they can bring us pure happiness and if they teach us the science of the art of living.
We try to interpret the Bible's insights and instructions in the best possible means that we know; I will further interpret these insights in the light of my own advances in the science of the art of living.
Any knowledge that brings scientifically proven life benefits whether through science or art is a pure science!!! Such beneficial knowledge that comes through art is practically the science of the art of living.
One fact of human life that science agrees to is the proven observation that people become wise by old age. Over the years it is these wise people who have contributed to the insightful treasures of common sense by distilling their wise experiences through their own understanding of life and their own self. Our treasure trove of common sense has come to us mainly through our Holy Scriptures through many immortal sages who were able to understand the code of these scriptures. Many of these sages were scientists, philosophers while others were artists. Actually many of these were not scientists in the strictest terms but they were mind scientists to the full extent possible because they uncovered the science of the art of living/self/life.
To master life it is necessary to understand the science of life/living through learning the ropes of life to make a living. Equally important it is necessary to understand the art of life/living to not so much as just master life but also to become our true self.
Scientists should continue doing their job when it comes to expanding the frontiers of the science of life/living. They should also let the art of life/living/self be expanded by the artist sages. When it comes to emotional intelligence the art of living has the the same effects as the science of self/life/living; The art of living and the science of living are both the two sides of the same coin. They are both the same coin! They are both equally important and each is dependent on the other.
Science understands and acknowledges that the art of living has been understood by a few sages who are immortal through their art, especially poet philosophers. These sages have distilled their life and self experiences into their art and poetry. To me the greatest poet philosopher in the art of living is Tagore. And the greatest quote from a human being of all time comes from him when he wrote/sang the following:
"Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come."
This single sentence gives us the best possible insight into understanding life by understanding death! Should we ignore this insight just because it has come to us from an artist of life and not from an established and accredited scientist of life. When it comes to the tons of benefits from this single sentence no other scientific thesis comes even close in providing real scientific insights to the science of living. Here this immortal sage is living proof that the art of life can trump the science of life; and that the art of life in terms of usefulness is as important as the science of life. In fact in terms of emotional intelligence they are both the same. The science of life is the art of life and the art of life is the science of life. The sooner main stream science wakes up to this fact, the sooner our art of life will become part of the science of life.
Lets put our art sages quote under the microscope of science...and see why this quotation is as much science as it is art...

SHY POWER
CALLING ALL SHY PEOPLE TO DISCOVER THEIR UNIQUE POTENTIAL
Human brain capacity depends on branching of brain cells and formation of complex links between them. Imagine how many brain cells are in play when the brain of a shy person like us, is always working on a multilevel. Not only is our brain focused on listening to the other person, we are constantly trying to hide our shyness and trying to appear coll. We are also looking for any signs of ridicule, feeling guilty and uncomfortable all at the same time. They say that most humans use only 10% of their brain. We use over 30% of our brain. As a result, our brains are exercised far more. We have worried ourselves into super-brains. I am tempted to say that shyness is the mother of greatness. Look at all the giants of history who were shy. Even some of the greatest political leaders were shy. These are people who have to address large audiences. Did you know that president F.D. Roosevelt, our greatest leader of the 20th century was shy like us? The greatest scientist ever Einstein was shy as was the wisest human of all time, GandhiThere are two kinds of human beings, mature and immature. The mature ones do not make fun of others not even shy people. They understand shyness. I am sure you can recall some people who love and respect you in spite of your shyness. Immature people make fun and ridicule us due to their own immaturity. When ridiculed do not feel bitter about yourself, feel sorry for the immaturity of the person who makes fun of you. Try to show him that you understand where the poor person is coming from. He deserves our sympathy for being immature. Instead of focusing on our shyness focus on the immaturity of the poor person. Play a game, see who is mature, and who immature without insulting anyone.Shyness is not too much of a bad thing. Do not feel so unhappy about it. It enables the shy person to sit on a mountain of enhanced mental capacity. It makes your brain far more fertile and imaginative. It gives you an edge over others especially in the artistic fields. Because your brain capacity is deeper, and you can think of many topics; your brainpower congers up a far more imaginative and colorful result. The trick is to find your calling and give it all you got. Your vast power will ensure superior results. This will bring you love, respect and wealth.We are extraordinary people who may have a self image problem which can be corrected. Research shows that a vast number of shy people loose their shyness merely by opening up and sharing their fears, disappointments, frustrations, and hopes. If you are carrying an emotional load, just by talking about it can lighten it. Try it and see for your self. In fact, what helped me was standing before a mirror, seeing myself eye to eye and telling myself how I feel, expressing all my fears and disappointments. At first, I was uncomfortable. Slowly over many days, I did not feel anything. Now when I look at myself in the mirror I smile and feel OK. Sharing my fears with another friend helped me even more. When you feel shy just observe your feelings in an impersonal manner without judging yourself and with out feeling guilty.Many of us do not have the friend to share our fears with. Yet there are over 12 million shy people in the United States alone and I am sure some of them will love to speak to you. For starters let us shift our focus from brooding over our shyness to sharing our experiences and emotions with others like us.I will soon float a trail balloon of Shypower.com to get together shy people so that we can share our common experiences and help each other to actualize our vast potential. We have built up a heavy-duty circuitry of brainpower. We have the capacity to function at a much higher level. Our brains are far more resourceful. Our vast mental powers enhance creativity. In addition, we can get rid of our shyness. Imagine a shy free mind with immense brainpower

The Wisdom Express - a free franchise you can start in your conner of the world.
The Wisdom Express
The key word in this Presidential election is change. The real question is which one of the current candidates will bring the most profound change that will benefit the whole country.Lately a lot of articles have appeared that are examining the qualities of the current Presidential candidates to determine who will be the best President for the US. I found that profound progress has taken place whenever the leader was wise. If you look at history from the beginning of time you will find that wise leaders have taken the world to greater heights not only during their own time but even for future generations and the world has enjoyed greater peace and prosperity during their rule. From King Arthur to BenjaminFranklin to Lincoln to Gandhi, wise leaders have made long term positive changes for humanity and not just during their own time.So we must consider voting for who ever is the wisest candidate in the current field. Let’s first examine what wisdom is and how do we distinguish wise leaders.In spite of all the research being done on wisdom, there is nostandard definition of wisdom. The very concept of wisdom is messy.Some attributes of wisdom are clear like one who possesses wisdom has a mastery over his own human nature, has a good knowledge of others and of human life in general. He is humble and treats others with love and respect. His humility creates a life long quest for learning and a very high threshold for getting insulted or getting angry.. He perceives himself as part of a larger entity. Setbacks are a part of life and an opportunity for learning. He is immersed in the now and yet he is detached from actual setbacks in life, where he may lose much but emotionally he remains calm. He perceives reality just as it is and not from his own or anyone else's angle. He loves and accepts the truth.. He is altruistic.
I have a simple hypothesis that quantifies the mind into four levels as follows:
1) Premature mind of a new born child quantified with a value of negative 2.
2) Immature mind of a teenager quantified with a value of negative 1.
3) Mature mind of an adult quantified with a value of positive 1.
4) Super mature mind of a master quantified with a value of positive 2.
Quantifying the mind means that every human activity is now
quantified. Take the example of war and peace. War is a premature activity having a value of-2. State of war is an immature activity having a value of-1. Truce is a mature activity having a value of +1.Peace is a super mature activity having a value of +2. In order to achieve +2 results one must start with +2 ingredients especially if the supply of -2 ingredients on both sides is unlimited. Take the example of World War 1 and 11. The first war defeated Germany with -2 ingredients. The -2 ingredients resulted in another -2 World War 11.Only the +2 Marshal Plan created the current +2 relations between the warring factions.
As there are four levels of the mind there are four levels of people in every society and four levels of countries. Those that are at the lower level can be shown why they are at this level and how they can be educated to the +2 level. Thus groups and even countries can be taught self mastery. Laws, policies and priorities can all be graded and replaced with +2 activities. With a +2 mind even ordinary dead end situations become opportunities for over coming failures. I can go on and on with practical applications. The most pressing problem facing us today is to decide which leader to put into the White House for at least the next four years. Both the present contenders are brilliant. Both deserve to be President for many reasons. The trillion dollar question is which one will be the best choice. Let’s apply the basic hypothesis to this question:As there are four levels of the mind there are four levels of human beings and four levels of leaders as follows:
a) Premature mind (-2)...a totally self centered brutal nature.Leaders that are stuck at this level manifest themselves as dictators and tyrants. At this stage of the mind the child considers his own self as all reality. In his mind he alone exists. Ones ownself is all that counts. Others don’t count at all as they don’t even exist. Leaders who are stuck at this emotional mind level consider themselves as all important and they build huge monuments to themselves and stash away money in illegal accounts neglecting and robbing the common man and the country. To achieve their own goals they abuse their power, commit atrocities and abuse human rights. Inspite of all the illegal wealth and power this mind level leaders are very insecure. They spend a disproportionate amount of money on their own and their countries security. For these leaders they alone area bove the law and everyone else is below the law. Except for the very few cronies of the leader the rest of the country lives in poverty and life remains a constant struggle. Many countries in the world are ruled by this -2 mind level leaders. We must wake up the world to their -2 emotional mind and its consequences.
b) Immature mind (-1)... an opportunistic nature that will break the law if the individual thinks that he can get away with it. At this stage of the mind level the teenager thinks that even though he has no power today his time will come and he deserves the best today. He will try to fulfill his lopsided dreams by hook or by crook. He considers himself as most important and will do everything to make it so if he feels he can get away with committing illegal acts. Leaders whose minds are stuck at this level are extremely corrupt. They build up illegal fortunes at the cost of the country and the common man. Most third worldcountries have this level mind leaders. Inspite of all the commerce and trade with the neighboring countries they still spend too much on defense neglecting real development sectors.
c) Mature mind (+1)... a responsible nature that respects the equality of all. At this stage the adult mind considers himself as first among equals. He still struggles to make the most for his ownself. He works for his own family first. Leaders who are at this level of the mind work for their whole nation but more so for their own supporters, their own party and their own vested interests first. When it comes to international relations they put their own country above all else. When President Bush places jobs above carbon emissions he is coming from this mind level. Most developed countries are in this category. They especially overspend on defense to remain first in military power at least in their own neighborhood. So called super powers and aspiring super powers try to expand the range of their defense powers by spending even more to show off power beyond their borders. They spend more than they need on defense but they spend enough on other sectors where the economy benefits the whole country.
d) Super mature mind (+2)...an altruistic nature. At this mind level the mind develops to the highest level of emotional intelligence which is wisdom. The person considers himself as part ofthe whole human family. He considers everyone else as #1 irrespective of caste and creed, gender or economic status. Leaders who manifest themselves at this level genuinely work for the whole country and also try their best to help other countries. They don’t help their own supporters above the opposition. They treat all alike with the same highest respect. For them all the people at large especially the poor are worthy of more attention and financial assistance so
their priorities and policies focus on education, health, infrastructure and
economic growth away from defense. Such leaders bring economic
prosperity and real change in the lives of all the sections of
society. The whole country becomes richer. Such leaders are truly
altruistic and humble. All their spending is rational. Their
priorities are equally focused on education, health, and infrastructure
and defense and every thing in-between. This is the kind of leader
every country needs every time there is an election.
Applying the above clues to wisdom I have
prepared the following questionnaire to determine who is the best
choice from the present contenders. You will have to decide for
yourself I will not name any one. It is up to you to find your own
answers. In fact you can add your own additional questions:Each question will have one of four possible answers. The answers
will be gradedby the level of the mind the candidate has developed in that
particular area of the question. For example:
1) Is she/he cool in private?
a) All the time. The grade for this answer is +2.
b) Most of the time. +1
c) Some times he/she is definitely not cool. -1
d) Most of the time in private he/she is not cool. -2
1) How qualified is he/she for the job? Answer: +2, +1,-1, or-2.
2) What is his/her hands on experience?
3) How motivated is he/she?
4) How stable is he/she emotionally?
5) How much real success has he/she achieved working with others?
6) Does she/he use spin to impress others?
7) Does she/he behave differently in private than in public?
8) Does he loose his/her temper?
9) Does he/she show the same respect to all including his/her assistants?10) Is he/she a good listener?
11) How is her/his health?
12) Is he/she humble?13)
Is he/she a life long learner?
14) Does he/she inspire you?
15) Does he/she have a boxed-in ideology?
16) Is he/she jingoistic?
17) Is he/she ridged in her perceptions?
18) Does he/she trust other experts to do their jobs?
19) Does he/she delegate?
20) Has he/she crossed any red lines in the past?
21) Does he/she own up to mistakes?
22) What kind of upbringing did she/he have?
23) How good is he/she in taking expert advice?
24) Does she/he have any original ideas?
25) How does he handle failures and setbacks?
26) How does he/she handle personal finances?
27) What kind of supporters does he/she have?
28) Does he accept contributions from above suspicion sources only?
29) How green is his/her house and vehicles?
30) How good is he/she with her family?
31) Can you say he/she is altruistic?
32) Is his/her personality made up of substance or spin?
33) Does he/she act or react?
34) What kind of confidence does he/she show?
35) Has he/she used his/her campaign chest wisely so far?
36) Does she/he inspire you?
37) Can his/her advisers tell him/her when he/she is wrong?
38) Does he/she research the issues as an insider?
39) Does he/her articulate his messages?

Gross National Standards/Values
Just like Gross National Product of countries we have to measure Gross National Standards/Values. Show every country the connection between GNP and Gross National Standards and how standards like Gross National Freedom, Gross National Opportunity, Gross National Tolerance, Gross National Economic Freedom, Gross National Economic Potential, Gross National Priorities, etc. can change the GNP for better and how Gross National Corruption, Gross National Restrictions, Gross National Hatred, Gross National Deception keeps the GNP down.
Take the example of Gross International Relations (even Gross Interstate Relations). There is a trillion-dollar trade between the US, Canada and Mexico. If these neighbors were hostile with each other would this much trade be possible? Would the US GNP be this good?
The American standards are being followed in computers, in aviation and in science and technology. Why can’t we take the best American values like Gross National Freedom, Gross National Economic Opportunity and Gross National laws and show different countries the reason why the American GNP is number 1 in the world and how each country can follow America’s example by following American Gross National Standards adapted to their own needs.
Take for instance the Gross National Law Enforcement. Are the rich and connected above the law and the poor and helpless below the law? Show how these values affect the GNP.
The same concept can also be translated to Gross Personal Values. It can be a precise and exact science of how to increase the potential of each country and each individual by harnessing and channeling its energies and attention in the right direction. By simply changing the laws of the land we can enable countries and individuals to rise to their full potential. We can increase the Gross National Potential of each and every country and the GNP is bound to rise.

THE GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS ABOUT OBAMA'S BERLIN SPEECH.
Obama's Berlin speech was beautiful. It means in an Obama White House the voices from arround the world will be heard and respected. Obama will not start a war. He will shift priorites from destruction to construction. He will extend America's hand in friendship to one and all. His policies will make a big positive difference. So the part of his speech that details where he is comming from has to be rated 5 star. Howerever the part about Christians, Muslims and Jews comming together is no more than a sermon. It is the same as my neighborhood pastor telling us to be good and honest. We listen and applaud and then we go back to our fuzzy lives, trying to better the Joneses and cheating on our taxes. My guru in India once said, 'The importance of life is not judged by what one says, for he may say it to look good. It is not even judged by what one does for she may do it for vanity. The importance of life is judged by what one actually becomes.' Again there are four mind level people as follows:
1) Premature, -2 mind level. No matter how much you tell him to love others selflessly. He cannot do it because he is incapable of selfless love!
2) Immature, -1 mind level. His mind is an opportunist. He will show selfless love only if it is in his interest. He will go against you if that is what advances his own interests.
3) Mature +1 mind level. His mind is responsible. He will show love to all and not hurt anyone but he still wants to be # 1.
4) Super mature +2 mind level. He will understand that every one else is #1 irrespective of caste or creed.
So the whole world will applaud and then settle down to being the person that his brains chemical, electrical and emotional reactions churn out for him to be.
Unfortunately when it comes to religious beliefs the vast majority ingrain some -2 values. Some more than others. So Obama's speech alone cannot bring down this prejudice barries/wall. He must give another speech, ' Why ingraining prejudice hurts the person himself and the persons own group the most.' (Please check out my blog, 'Parable for peace'.) More important Obama must introduce legistation to introduce a new compulsory subject that makes every student into a +2 mind.
Let me give another example.
There were four people living in one neighborhood. One had the resources to build a hut with straw. Another had money to build a house with logs. Another had money for a concrete and glass bunglow. The last had a sprawling mansion built with the finest marble with a rock crystall staircase,full of antiques. Suppose Obama gives a speech that all should have the finest marble mansion. Its not going to happen. Not in a million years. The only way it will happen is if each and every mind is transformed through wisdom education into a +2 mind. So if Obama really wants to see Christians, Muslims and Jews eating in the same plate(maybe this will be too harsh), well if he wants to see real peace he must transform them all into +2 people as individuals and as groups. It is possible only the will is required on the part of the leaders in the Government and main stream education.

WE MUST FULLY ANALYZE OBAMA'S MIND.
Its about time America woke up to the 'Obama Phenomina'. We must fully analyze the reasons for his spectacular success. His charishma is due to the fact that his mind is powered by two powerful forces. Aperfect formal education and a near perfect informal education.His formal education is as good as it can be. He is totally qualifiedto be President. What is especial about Obama is his informal education which creates emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence in its highest form is wisdom. Wisdom is the key factorin all great leadership. America has a great tradition of greatleadership. From Benjamin Franklin and George Washington to Linclon,from FDR to JFK America has been blessed with wise leaders. Americais at that time once again when we will be blessed with wiseleadership in an Obama Presidency.What is needed is The Obamanization of America and beyond. Not justObamanization of political leadership also the Obamanization of allaspects of human life. We take great care in our students formaleducation like math andscience while more or less neglecting informal education that createsemotional intelligence(wisdom). Both intelligence and emotionalintelligence are essential for great leadership and just as essentialalso for every human being. This is a great chance for the news mediato highlight the powerful force of wisdom that is powering Obama'smind.THIS IS A TIME TO CELEBRATE OBAMA'S WISDOM AND ALSO ASK OURSELF WHY DO WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF COURSES FOR TEACHING FORMAL EDUCATION LIKEMATH AND SCIENCE AND NOT A SINGLE COURSE FOR TEACHING INFORMALEDUCATION THAT DEVELOPS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE? MANY OF THE CRISISES OFSOCIETY CAN BE TRACED TO THE LACK OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCEEDUCATION. WILL YOU CONSIDER WAKING UP AMERICA ATLARGE AND THE WORLDOF EDUCATION AND POLITICAL LEADERSHIP TO THE FACT THAT THE TIME HASCOME FOR THE CREATION OF A NEW COMPULSORY SUBJECT THAT TEACHES EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE?
We can create Obama quality minds enmass
We must explore all the ways that Senator Obama's charishma and success can be translated for the benifit of the common man. We must emphasise the difference between Obama and the other leaders. MaCain, Clinton, Romney, Richardson etc. are all brilliant leaders what makes Obama a phenomina is his wisdom. When we see a wise person we know that he is gifted. He is special. Yet the fact is that all human beings are gifted. It is a matter of their upbringing and emotional intelligence education. Most Americans get deprived of wisdom because we are brought up on the idea that, 'I am the best'. Overconfidence creates an unrealistic self image that traps the self.(Do you ever feel restless and dont know why? - Perhaps your true self that is hidden from you wants to get out and be free). Most of us Americans are overconfident of our own potential. No wonder most people here are running running for more and more and we are never satisfied with our successes.The upbringing that Obama got through his elders must be fully researched and it must be made available to one and all. Infact we must research the upbringing of all the great leaders like Gandhi, King Aurther, Franklin etc. and create the best possible guidelines to bring up our children.Is anyone reading my blog out there? I want you to know that I have a complete plan to create a whole new subject that teaches wisdom just like we teach math and science. We can create wise human beings just like we create scientists and lawyers. I have created 'The Wisdom Express' to make people aware of the role of wisdom in great leadership and I am giving out a free franchise to any one who wants to start their own wisdom express. If anyone is interested please contact me at info@selfmasteryclub.com. I will guide them to start their own wisdom express.
