CONVENTIAL BELIEF ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE MARKET. AND OTHER ALLIED BELIEFS.
Both George Soros and Warren Buffet believe the markets are always wrong.
An investor or a trader makes a decision to buy, sell, hold or do nothing based on his idea of what makes the markets tick. This individualistic idea that he has, is called his philosophy and since it is on the running of the market it is his market philosophy.
A philosophy can be described as an explanation of how the world around us works, and our means of understanding it. This understanding tells us what is right and what is wrong, what works and what doesnt.. Philosophy is the guide to making choices, reaching decisions – and taking action.
In the markets, this philosophy is adapted to trade in beliefs. According to a prominent Invesment psychologist , Van Tharp, people dont trade in the markets, they trade their beliefs. Yet many dont have any such beliefs as they hitch their wagon of thoughts to the prevailing bias at that time. Others cling to a potpourri of beliefs which are often self contradictory.
A Jedi investor uses his philosophy as a mental shield against the markets constant chaos.
A description about the market is given by Benjamin Graham , whose investment philosophy revolutionised Warren Buffets approach.
Mr. Market is a remarkably accomodating fellow , who is a partner in your private business. Without fail , Mr Market appears daily and names a price at which he will either buy your interest ( stocks which you would like to sell ) or sell you his . ( stocks which you would like to buy. ). All these quotes are based on a background of economic characteristics of the combined nations of the world at that time. All this is normal , but what is not normal is the behaviour of Mr. Market who has a incurable emotional problem. At times he falls euphoric and can only see the favourable factors affecting business. On this day he is wildly over-excited and is happy and quotes a very high buy – sell price because he fears that you will snap up his interest ( buy out his share ) and rob him of his imminent gains. But on some days , sometimes may be the very next day , he is depressed and can see nothing but trouble ahead for both business and the world. On these occassions he will name a very low price, terrified you will unload your interset ( sell your shares ) .
Mr Market has another endearing characteristic. He doesnt mind being ignored. If his quotation is uninteresting to you today , he will be back with one tomorrow. Transactions are strictly at your option. Under these conditions the more maniac-depressive his behaviour, the better for you.
Since the mood swings of the market are psychotic , there will be times when the market offers a price for a stock that is insanely cheap and buying it back at another time when it is ridiculously high.
There is however a handicap to this type of investment. We can never know in advance when Mr. Market will be euphoric or when he will be depressed, Hence prediction does not play any part in this type of strategy.
Remember the market is there to serve you in making wealth and not guide you. It will be a disaster if you fall under its influence.
So if the analyst who predicts is a unnessecary to the working of the market and the guidiance from people who are influenced by the market and are under its spell , is also dangerous then what is the basis for making investment decisions ? Here the personal and spiritual growth of an individual comes to play a important part. That is why investing in a stock market is the only gauge which can be used to measure a persons progress spiritually. When all physically available options are exhausted the investor turns to something beyond physics and numbers which is inherently spiritual.
And what is that ? His philosophy which dictates his life, his actions , his thoughts. his relations, his time, his whole living. The same belief that runs his life now gets to be used by him to make an investment. Every succesful investor has followed a different belief yet has achieved the same result. Those who blindly follow others beliefs without questioning are walking with their eyes closed. A master develops his own set of beliefs which are a result of his spiritual awakening.
Experts call it the unconscious competence, which in one line could be explained as undertaking a venture which may look risky or unachievable to a novice but is like a brisk walk in the park for the masters.
Success in the stock markets is unlike achieving success in medicine or any other commercial enterprise which follow a very linear and tangible way to progress without giving any growth or development to the inner nature of man. Many Industrial Emperors of this generation have been able to unlock only the procurring aspect of their true self. This unending journey of acquisition has no destination.
In Part 2 of this essay , I shall try to bring about some habits that a investor cultivates to achieve prosperity in the stock market. There are many successful stock market experts without the help of these winning habits , but then there are many in commercial and industrial establishments too, These Winners display a shallow confidence which is largely linked to material wealth .

FROM THE CHAPTER SEX AND EVOLUTION BY P.D.OUSPENSKY- A NEW MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE
According to the author sexual energy cannot have only a singular aim of continuation of Life as the energy required for such an aim is a small proportion , an infinitesimal fraction of the energy created. Since the energy created is of a much greater quantity than required just for continuation of life the author believes that there are two more aims of this abundant reserve of dynamic energy.
The second aim is the keeping up of the breed, which is expounded as secondary sex characters.
He explains it by going in to the physiological traits that are evident in men and women differently by nature of their sexual energy. He goes in to the detail by explaining that real evolution happens when these secondary sex characters are developed and energy required to develop them is freely available without becoming weak by the primary aim , which is sometimes used to extreme due to passions and desires. This process where the energy is lost by expressing it viciously becomes degenerative to the anatomical and physiological traits.
He describes in detail what these physiological characteristics are.
a) Lines of the body ( independent of the anatomical structure of the skeleton ) b) different distribution of muscles and fat on the body c) difference in movements d) different distribution of hair on the body e) a diffrent voice f) difference in instincts, sensations, tastes, temparement, emotions, reaction to external stimulli etc, g) a different mentality all that makes up feminine psychology and masculine psychology.
Now we know why the world has seen so many gay and lesbian people mushroom all over. Since this secondary characters give the esssence to the breed we can also assume why men have started behaving like women resorting to gossip cheap talk and a sudden loss of character and personality.
The author believes that the degeneration brings weakening of characters in a woman who starts developing manly characteristics and vice versa.
The third aim of this sexual enerrgy is transmutation, from man to superman. The author believes that sex is not sin or that abstinence, sexual impotence, infantile, senile or any pathological disease cannot be related to an higher aim of sex or spirituality. Even condeming it and absence of interest is also not a desirable quality of aspirants who wish to go over from man to superman. Such men who think of sex as an adversery to be overcome by struggle are usually suffering from characteristics of infra sex, which imbibes qualities of pseudo-morality and pseudo-values, pseudo-saintliness. Such men have used sex to dictate laws to normal lives, who become fearful and start growing superstition and regard things and actions with taboo. The author puts a warning here that “ This does not mean that all morals, all laws and all restrictions relating to sex were wrong. But, as always occurs in life when right ideas come from the wrong source, together with what is right they bear within them a great deal that is wrong, that contradicts their fundamental essence, that brings about new confusions and new complications. “
The apparent contradictory is cleared by the author who believes that sex is not be derided in any way and is a potent force that needs to be acknowledged and understood without making sex an object of criticism. Ramakrishna believed that the divine mother is responsible for everything in the world and even bowed down before prostitutes and treated them as manifestations of the divine .
Men who belong to the category where sex becomes a adversery have certain characteristics which are given below a) They connect with sex as something which is lowest in man. b) Sex is also thought of something as unclean, so man speaks about sex and sexual things with unclean words and unclean thoughts c) He thinks of everyone as a slave to sex at the same time being aware of his slavery.d) He mentally throws dirt on sex and on everything connected to sex, invents indecent anecdotes or likes to listen to them e) His full life is full of obscene language ; everything is as unclean to him as himself f) If he does not degrade sex he derides it, takes it as a joke, tries to find something comic in sex. g) Such men gain a mentality which becomes coloured and impregnated with distrust, suspicion , fear and repugenance..h) Such men who separate sex from other functions of their life and look upon it with antagonism in regards to all other functions and think of it as a merely physical activity feel sex as an impediment, an obstacle, a waste of force, a waste of energy. This waste of energy in sex functions and the realisation of this waste is one of the distinctive traits of the form of infra sex.
In fact the author insists on two major pointers of people having a complex infra sex problem
a) Sex as a subject of Laughter or as anything that can be connected with anything negative in man
b) Wastage of energy in sex ie depletion of energy faster than renewed. In fact one of the main positive character of normal people who do not belittle sex is that their energy is immidiately renewed because of the richness and positive chracter of the sensations thoughts and emotions connected with sex.
As against this attitude of people with infra sex people who do not look down on sex or do not make it an object of laughter usually have their energy replaced owing to the richness of the sensations and impressions which are received by the intellect, the consciousness and the feeling. This type of psyche repels everything negative. This does not imply that such people whose sex is cordinated with their functions in life do not suffer disappointments or sufferings as life is not at all harmonious with nature but the only difference is that such people never blame other people for their sufferings nor do they have any perverted emotions such as violence revenge or insanity.
The normal people who do not think of sex in deragatory means also have many uncoordinated nature as regards to their emotions but this the author insists is not due to sex but to a different cause. The author introduces now to a concept which was not so common in the time when this article was written ie between 1912 to 1929, which is endocrinology. The author believes that men and women have to be divided using not the blood types or temperaments. According to the esoteric science ( look for my next article that explains esoteric science and normal science ) men have to be divided as per their internal secretions or the “ formulae “ or their “ constellations “ which means the combinations of their internal secretions.
The author believes that the fundamental types are dictated by these internal secretion and for every man there are several positive types of women, a union of which guarantees that sex is never deragratory because the such women inspire and influence certain thoughts feelings and emotions .Hence the union of such men and women will guarantee that man will never stoop low to levels of pornography or develop impotence or perversions which the author insists is the worst form of infra sex.
Men and Women when divided using endocrinology as a type exert an influence which is emotional and physical on each other which is independent of expressed tastes sympathies and inclinations.
The author then uses a lot of words in making us understand what these different types are and what are their characteristics and how for one type of man there could be 3 or more types of women and how one type of a man could be suitable or even best for the type of the women but how that woman could be of the wrong type for that man . A perfect mismatch situation.
In ancient times such considerations were of prime importance before “ marriage sacrament “ and hence the choice was left to an “ initiate “ who did not perform the mechanical ritual part of the marriage ceremony but after determining the types gave advice and took the decision whether a particular marriage could take place or no. But this was long forgotten alongwith the different types of men and women.
All these arguments have been given by the author for the third part of the aim that is the transmutation from man to superman. All systems of cultured religions agree that sexual energy could be used for this purpose, with only one difference which was whether complete abstinence of sex is nessecary or just normal sex would be sufficient. This normal sex is clearly to be differntiated from infra sex as mentioned above.
Even Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa believed that 12 years of celibacy makes a man get what he wishes for.
But the way to transmutation from man to superman is through sex and not by the avoidance of it.
According to the author religions which tried to condemm sex were unsuccesful of becoming a point of refference to go from the normal to supernormal as it made people hate and make sex deragrotory, Sri Ramakrishna believed that only when the Mother ( his worship of the creator was through the idol of Kali ) wishes can such thoughts leave a person, till then the Mayavic forces are so strong that when tried to overpower they become more strong.
The author then goes on to connect all psychological functions of the body including sex to the glands of internal secretions. He suggests that most emotions are activated by glands and even the configuration of the body like growth, nourishment, structure, functioning of different organs, psychic life, intellectual and emotional life , activity, psychic make up of man, his energy and strenght is related to supply of hormones or specifically secretions from ductless glands which provide motive power for the working of the organs, the nervous system brain etc. He even says that science has connected the endocrine secretions with the autonomic nervous system.
The author emphasises that all external characteristics that are visible in a man, that is his height, the structure of the skeleton, the quality of the skin, eyes, ears, hair, voice, respiration, way of thinking, quickness of perception, character, emotionality, will-power, energy, activity, initiative, all are dependent on the action of the glands of internal secretions, and so to speak reflect their state.
The author then refers to two books by Dr. Berman of New York. The First Book the Glands regulating Personality follows several historical personages like Napolean and realises that on the weakining of his pituitary gland, at st. Helena his personality changed and ended in a catastrophe at Waterloo. Some of the data collected by Dr. Berman were from physicians attending to Napolean.
The other book The Personal Equation , Dr. Berman examines the different types of personalities by reading the pre dominance of a one or nother gland and infers that man is a marionette controlled by his glandular secretions.
The author is concerened with the secretion of Sex Glands only but now believes that though Sex is a cause for the downfall or rising of man other functions of man are affected equally and for the right functioning of whole organism all glands must be functioning well and and a change or deteriortion of one gland is responsible for the breakdown of this mechanism.
The author now firmly believes that external characteristics of a person are due to the internal secretions and goes on to give a list of 32 external signs that have been recorded and the author confers that these 32 signs give an idea of the endocrinological history of Gautama Buddha
The transmutation of sexual energy which makes man in to a superman actually works inwardly and creates a new life which is capable of ever new eternal regeneration.
In the closing argument the author believes that man on the verge of becoming a superman actually starts understanding strange emotions and stranger sensations which were inexplicable from an ordinary point of view, especially in love and sex which has a strange melancholy and strange sadness. The sensation of parting is specially strong as a new sensation gets replaced which is actually a new consciousness or a new mystical state. The author insists that of all ordinary human experiences only sex sensations approach those which we may call “ mystical “
And this is the precise reason why the terrible power of sex over human souls is absolute.
But the sex sensations disappear in the light of mystical experiences gradually or eventually.
That is the reason why first sensations of mystical experiences intensify sex sensations but the further waves of light that a man begins to see completely absorb and cause to disappear those small sparks of sensations which seemed to him a blaze of love and passion.
A final word of encouragement by the author suggests that people have to find out their own way to go from man to superman, either by struggling against sex or accepting and transforming it as in their case the sex is sufficiently coordinated with all other functions of their life.
According to the author sexual energy cannot have only a singular aim of continuation of Life as the energy required for such an aim is a small proportion , an infinitesimal fraction of the energy created. Since the energy created is of a much greater quantity than required just for continuation of life the author believes that there are two more aims of this abundant reserve of dynamic energy.

Some Actions and Beliefs Require Thought
Our Innate ability to understand things with a pure intention are being replaced by the advertisers in many ways most of them are unkown to us. These pre mixed decisions sometimes have a bias towards result in more ways than one.
To make it more clear lets understand the case of doctors suggesting that Masturbation is harmless. Every Man or Woman who has excercised their right to celebrate temperory and momentary pleasure by masturbating is bound by guilt at first. This is the first fence that is created around us in subtle terms. Slowly the habit becomes another fence, making the loneliness of the soul from the mind more profound. Then comes signals from the body of weaknesses like failing immunity and weaknesses.The conflict between what one actually feels after masturbation and what one is suppossed to feel as per the doctors view creates another fence between the mind and the soul making the mind-body appartus unable to see the same view, thus creating a conflict between the soul-mind-body.
Dr. Edward Bach the founder of Bach Flower Remedies , thought of Disease as a contradiction between the purpose of the soul and the personalitys point of view. Such inner conflicts are designed to make us weak and loose precious vitality.
Ayurveda Explains the formation of Semen, a product formed after undergoing purification 6 times as follows.
The seven bodily tissues are called Dahtus which are responsible for the functioning of systems and organs and provide firmness to the body and their work on the development and nourishment of the body and starts with the digested food that we eat..
First tissue to form from food eaten is Rasa or Plasma meaning sap or juice. Its function is prinana or nourishment, they include lymph and blood plasma , breast milk and menstural blood are accesory tissues also formed from food. The waste product is mucous.
The purification of Rasa brings Rakta ( Blood ) to formation. Its function is invigoration. The main tissue is red blood cells and secondary tissues are blood vessels and tendons. The waste product is bile or pitta. If Rasa is not well digested, blood is not sufficiently produced the waste product is over produced, though pitta has a hot and intense influence it cannot perform the functions of blood.
The Purified Rakta ( Blood ) now takes the form of skeletal muscle (Mansa ) the accessories are ligaments and skin, the waste product at this stage is snot, navel lint and ear wax. Healthy blood nourishes the flesh and makes the skin glow.
Another purification of this highly purified Mansa takes place and Meda ( Fat ) is formed . Its function is to provide warmth and lubrication to the body and the waste product is sweat which controls the bodies tempreture.
The fifth purification of the original food ingested now makes Ashti ( Bones ). The accesory tissues are teeth and the waste at this stage is body hair, facial hair and nails. The bones give the body support or dharana.
The finer essence of Ashti is bone marrow or Majja . It is what is inside our brains and spinal cord. These red and yellow semi solid is the tissue formed to fill in the bones and contains stem cells thought to be now as multipotent. This protein is a major source for strength in an individual.
The waste is lachrymal secretions.which are saline fluids used in lubrication of eyeballs and tears.
Finally the food after getting purified 6 times now condenses to Sexual Fluids or ( Shukra ). Accessory product is the ojas the fluid that controls immunity and the aura. There is no waste generation at this point. Shukra means clear or pure in sanskrit.
Let the individual decide what is good for him after being given the details of all opposing views.
But let us not beat him with the stick of sponsored and processed labortary information.
Another case is of doctors suggesting vegeterian food for health. Do help yourself by turning a grass eater but do not propgate the use of vegeteiranism for the masses. The last experiment in such propoganda was done by Gautama Buddha in India which made us loose national vitality and allowed a nation to be enslaved first by the muslims and then by the british not to count minor attacks by disgruntled warriors.
Did you know that foodgrains, vegetables are sprayed by chemicals for growth and storage that, when given to babies can cause instant death. Religious leaders took a readily available cue from the masses and gave them instant knowledge on the foods to be eaten for spiritual gain, but those who want to lead a householders life with enough strength and sustainance to protect and procure for the family should decide their course of action after seeing all the views and even going to the extent of sacrificing their ideals for the benefit of society and their family and the nation at large.
Some of the chemicals used in food production are given below . Try searching for the harmful effects of these from the internet and you will realise that not all of them can be washed.
Diphenylamine, Cn, Endosulfan, Phosmet, Azinphos-methyl apta, DCPA, Methamidophos, Demeton, Dimethoate, Parathion,Diazinon, Thiabendazone, Carbaryl ,Methamidophos, Chlorpyrifos, Dimethoate, Acephate, are only few of the chemicals we know are used, there are innumerable advances in chemistry about such toxic substances that are nearly tasteless colourless but are potently harmful for liver, nervous system and cancer causing. Di-bromo chloro propane is known to persist in water, even going to the extent of contaminating groundwater.
So whatever is said is not nescessarily the whole truth. Is there a hidden propoganda behind these so called claims is what every individual needs to ascertain and experiment. This search for a higher truth should be our constant endeavour.
To make it more clear lets understand the case of doctors suggesting that Masturbation is harmless. Every Man or Woman who has excercised their right to celebrate temperory and momentary pleasure by masturbating is bound by guilt at first.

The finer essence of Ashti is bone marrow or Majja . It is what is inside our brains and spinal cord. These red and yellow semi solid is the tissue formed to fill in the bones and contains stem cells thought to be now as multipotent. This protein is a major source for strength in an individual.
The waste is lachrymal secretions.which are saline fluids used in lubrication of eyeballs and tears.
Finally the food after getting purified 6 times now condenses to Sexual Fluids or ( Shukra ). Accessory product is the ojas the fluid that controls immunity and the aura. There is no waste generation at this point. Shukra means clear or pure in sanskrit.
Let the individual decide what is good for him after being given the details of all opposing views.
But let us not beat him with the stick of sponsored and processed labortary information.
Another case is of doctors suggesting vegeterian food for health. Do help yourself by turning a grass eater but do not propgate the use of vegeteiranism for the masses. The last experiment in such propoganda was done by Gautama Buddha in India which made us loose national vitality and allowed a nation to be enslaved first by the muslims and then by the british not to count minor attacks by disgruntled warriors.
Did you know that foodgrains, vegetables are sprayed by chemicals for growth and storage that, when given to babies can cause instant death. Religious leaders took a readily available cue from the masses and gave them instant knowledge on the foods to be eaten for spiritual gain, but those who want to lead a householders life with enough strength and sustainance to protect and procure for the family should decide their course of action after seeing all the views and even going to the extent of sacrificing their ideals for the benefit of society and their family and the nation at large.
Some of the chemicals used in food production are given below . Try searching for the harmful effects of these from the internet and you will realise that not all of them can be washed.
Diphenylamine, Cn, Endosulfan, Phosmet, Azinphos-methyl apta, DCPA, Methamidophos, Demeton, Dimethoate, Parathion,Diazinon, Thiabendazone, Carbaryl ,Methamidophos, Chlorpyrifos, Dimethoate, Acephate, are only few of the chemicals we know are used, there are innumerable advances in chemistry about such toxic substances that are nearly tasteless colourless but are potently harmful for liver, nervous system and cancer causing. Di-bromo chloro propane is known to persist in water, even going to the extent of contaminating groundwater.
So whatever is said is not nescessarily the whole truth. Is there a hidden propoganda behind these so called claims is what every individual needs to ascertain and experiment. This search for a higher truth should be our constant endeavour.

Why the World may never end in 2012
Most of the people that were around the last time the world ended are not around us today. Noah would have been the perfect person to guide the world about preparing for the end of the days. Also we have no idea of what indications to look for that show the probability of such people appearing in the next 24 months and whether they would be capable of speaking coherently at the age of 2.
To put our fears to rest this author got in touch with a person who claims to have spoken to one of the seven sages in heaven about this major last occurence likely to happen.Readers would be interested in knowing who this person is and how does he manage to speak with someone in heaven. Well your author would love to put any disbelief at rest before the publishing of the interview with this person ( whom we shall call the speaker ) , but the confidentiality agreement signed by him would jeopardise his carrer .I can but guarantee that wih whatever minimum tools at disposal to me , I have cross checked in to his theory but putting to him in a test where he had to predict the date this interview would be published . I then questioned my editor who gave the same date as Mr. Speaker.
The interview was recorded for accuracy and it goes as follows.
Mr. Reporter : So what is your opinion on 2012 ?
Sage's Answer : Complete bullshit ( in a language only the reporter and the sage could follow).
entire mis representation of the facts , depicting a total lack of knowledge of the scriptures and unworthy of comment.
Mr. Reporter : Sir, What are you talking about ?
Sage : The Movie idiot, what else.
Mr. Reporter : No, No you have got it all wrong , we humans are intersted in knowing whether the world will actually end in 2012 ?
Sage : ( Now surprised ) Who has given the date ?
Mr. Reporter : News Media and the excitement seeking bored people
Sage : Fools I Say, The world cannot end without fulfilling the desires it needs to.
Mr. Reporter : Reverred Sir, Is the time fixed when it will all end ?
Sage : Time can never end as long as there are causes and effects, time is what separates the two.
Mr. Reporter : Reverred Sir, Does time remain even after the world ends.
Sage : Time will loose its identity if the space around it suddenly becomes spaceless.
Time and Space are part of the sensual experience which our desires are made of.
Mr. Reporter : Is that what you meant when you said that world cannot end without fulfilling its desires?
Sage : Excatly as long as we have desires , time will provide space to allow its fulfillment.
Mr. Reporter : Will it ever happen in time that people turn desireless and time and space have no work, so decide to just pull the curtains down.?.
Sage : Yes such times shall come but way , but still ages and eons of time to go by before it happens.
It is wise to mention that the Mayans whose calendar created fear about 2012, believed in Bolon Yookte' K'uh or the nine support ( Gods )which correspond to the Nine Sages ( Saptarishis )

Questions and Answers
Question1 I believe that every human being is the mirror image of God and the lives of each of us has a purpose assigned by God. I've been trying to figure out whats the purpose of my being on earth. Is it just talking, eating, working , listening to people and fighting with them ? How do i align my purpose in life with the one God surely sent me here for ?
A Life and Spirit believers reply.
Yes, we are mirror images but of a God who is much more than our images of 3 dimension.
Just as the mirror reflects a 3 dimensional reality on a 2 dimensional surface, so are we reflections of a multi dimensional reality on to this 3 dimensions. Our purpose is to find the other dimensions within ourselves that unify us with our God , whom we are reflecting.This activity for searching the point which connects us to our creator and the way by which we remove this delusion that we are separate forms our goal in life.
Question 2 Why do we hurt people unintentionally? Why does the other person get angry despite knowing it was not deliberate ?
A Life and Spirit believers reply.
Just as our hurt is unintentional, similarly we should give the benefit to the other person that his anger could also be unintentional. Our understanding for oneself is quite clear but when it comes to anyone other than us our lack of understanding takes over quickly.
Question3 I am a 36-year-old qualified doctor. I have been in medical journalism for eight years.
But now I want to get back to practising medicine. My problem is that I feel bogged down by my age. All my friends are way ahead in their careers. I am constantly engaged in analysis - paralysis about my age. What if I can't make it now ? Can my medical career take shape at this age ? Will i be able to support my family ? Please suggest a way out of this mental mayhem ?
A Life and Spirit believers reply.
If there is any need to stop and ponder in our journey called life , it should only be to appreciate our blessings. Brooding over the past is not going to change the present neither are worries about the future going to make it easier. Our choices have to be guaranteed by our inner nature ( intuition ) or our little self that says very little but knows everything. Since man has been the maker of his destiny there should not be any uncertainty about the events of the future. The only thing we need to ensure is are we physically, mentally and spiritually fit to take any consequence as a result of our choice, which may either reward us or teach us or both.

FROM MANY TO ONE - A SUBTLE WORLD
From the numerous options that this dimension has why does only one probability get projected from this realm? which one gets preference to get reflected on the universal mirror?
better still who or what decides to script the next step in our conceptual world ?
Are we only present as a passive spectators or as a active participants ?
Self help masters tell us that our perception and our journey in life can be altered by changing / or is it charging our thoughts. Thoughts are subtle elements in our psyche that allow us the flexibility to change our perception and finally the projection as if on a cue allows us to see only those events which we yearn for . What we are unable to gauge is whether our thoughts originate from our buddhi ( intellect ) or our feelings which waver uncessingly and are unable to grasp the our real needs. But there is another catch , sometimes we are not sure what we desire and most of the times we do not want the complete desire to be fulfilled. For Ex. We might want lots of Money , but we also gain a fair amount of greed and psychological instability to want a lot more. Most of us have lost more than gained in our effort to contain our needs. For whatever we covet and fulfill , our want never ceases.
So thoughts when attached to the mind never accomplish what they sets out for.
But when the mind is attached to pure intellect and is not undecided then the result is magic.
There is story on Meerabai in Indian culture, that shows that when the mind is fixed on subtle thoughts even things like poison turn into nectar. Yes subtle thoughts do have the ability to penetrate the 5th dimension and get us our choice of consequence. A dynamic participator can effectively mould by his intellect mind and will the course of his path with its surroundings.
A subtle invisible element like a thought is credited with manufacturing reality.
Religion tells us that God throws dice and decides the next move, He could also be flipping coins eh. It is the will of God that it so and so happened. Events are left at the will of a Diety whose only work is to hand over report cards to humanity.This consolation is very common in almost all societies and is reasonably accepted as destiny which believes that the universe
flows towards pre-determined paths. But It does not say though why God made such a will. Random events are a integral part of nature that is so well organised. Since the events are random , it gives us a strong reason to believe in the impersonal machine of the universe that objectively does what it judges in a very unbiased and non partisan way. Of course there was enough scope for man to fill in the gap by giving handouts of do's and dont's that the commanding machine uses as laws to operate. Thus formed an unending trail of religious bigotry.
A helpless observor that can only see but neither do or undo the happenings.
Here too a subtle entity is credited with altering events in the universe.
Vedantists tell us that all options appear to be numerous but are actually one or rather none and they are brought about by our ignorance to see beyond the obvious (the viel of ignorance or the 5th dimension ) that surrounds us and hampers our view of the reality. But it also puts man in charge of this man made reality as it believes that the organs of knowledge and the organs of sense which are physical entities are responsible for creating this pseudo reality.
But a potent question which is answered in the projection theory of reality , is what are we projecting excatly ? For any reflection to take place there has to be an original identity or concept of which the projection occurs or materialises.
This identity or concept is Brahman who is beyond all descriptions but for the sake of giving a name it is so called, which out of a compulsion to express itself becomes divided into billions of things from the screen on which the projection takes place to all the elements in it.
They also say that happenings occur because we are eager to see them. ( The drishti-shrishti theory ) Vedanta goes one step further by implying that not only are the causes subtle but even the fallout ( the projected entity or reality ) is not real but subtle.
A classical case that makes the participator itself a subtle entity that observes the mythical and subtle world .
New age physics tells us that events are a combination of chance ( randomness ) and desire ( participators willingness to see those events) where even unmanifested options flow along the manifest ones in alternate space-times. The universe is still percieved to be a sensory world where the begining of time was a combination of chemical or cosmological imbalances interacting with themselves for some unknown purpose This is a incomplete mix of Religion and Vedanta. But here the participator is given credit for observing random events and experiencing them as if they have been produced by him, a cynical sense of authority over events without comprehending the process that generates these events.
A case of false participation by the observor who is still in awe of the generated events prior to his participation but nevertheless events are still the prerogative of subtle entities.
So are all these just rationale explanations for going ons in an dimension which frustrates reasoning ?
Lets rephrase our question slightly since subtle elements are being charged with running the show in a 4 dimensional world where visibility of these elements is not even confirmed by science.
Is it true that the gross universe is just an expression of the subtle potential ? And is it also true that the true motive power of this universe is safely encased within a subtle realm ?
If the answers to the question is a yes , then what are we doing besides projecting our fears and desires at random or will , getting projected and participating in the projection with awe and looking in vain for a God who is again doing the same ie projecting , getting projected and participating in the projection.
Whether or not there was a begining, we can only argue but one aspect of this dimension that everyone agrees is that it is beyond the senses or concepts.We are also certain that it fills our space with illusionary reality.

Questions and Answers
Question 1 I married two years ago and separated from my Husband because he doesn't have a good character. We have a child . I feel devastated and am not able to understand why this happened to me.
A Life and Spirit Believers Reply
Not all answers are immediately known , but to believe that there are no answers causes anguish. Some answers are revealed gradually and others are to be realised by us by introspection. What needs to be done is to get by way of reasoning or meditation ( intuiting ) in touch with the cause so as to avoid any future blockages in our journey.
Such instances ( as separation ,death, and even loss of health ) are devised by nature to help us relook at our path and remove obstacles or change our way.
Question2 I am 29 and run my own factory. I have apprehensions regarding my future-work, marriage and life after marriage. I would like to know how to stop worrying ?
A Life and Spirit Believers Reply
Worry stems from lack of faith in ourselves and fear of the unkown. Since it is unkown there should be no fear, but with us Humans it works just the opposite. Develop faith in yourself by reading books of Swami Vivekananda and affirmations that inspire. Along with developing faith an added qualificatino would be building Character, as when character is strong most unfortunate things turn fearful.
Question3 I am 31 and work with a bank in Mumbai. I am single and stay with my parents and younger sister. Despite repeated attempts I have failed to clear chartered accountancy exams. My career has also been on the slow track . I am earning well but my peers are way ahead of me.
I have been very self conscious since childhood and I think that it is stunning my growth. Even in relationships , I have been very unsuccesful- be it with friends or family. What do I need to change attitude?
A Life and Spirit Believers Reply
Since you are already aware that you need to change and your perspective, then the only help you require is how to do it ? Any change requires some amount of will and lots of energy.
When we are weak physically mentally or emotionally we invite failure on all fronts of our lives.
Relationship get no succor nor any manure to grow , neither does our willingness to achieve our goals, be they financial or spiritual.
