-- *Mar**Spiritualism-Vs-Industrialism*
*There is an unnecessary mystification and obfuscation about Spiritualism. Its meaning is very simple. It means the utilisation of breathing, smelling and sensing for perception, observation and theorization of the sense out of smells hypothesis. Unfortunately a lot of occult fantasy has been tagged to Spiritualism, changing or robbing it of its very practical meaning. With our eyes we can see very little. We cannot see more than 00.0037% of the reality, because the mind has the affliction of modelling only the 3D shapes, cutting away the entire wholeness.* *Every organism—plant, tree, bacterium, bird, animal, fish, insects...all smell and sense from the same air. So one actually participates in the Biosphere in developing not merely knowledge but enlightenment and enchantment, by adopting the breathe based education. By adopting the air for observation, one actually participates with the earth, in its life as a member of the Solar System. May be from the Solar System, the sensing may advance even far towards the other stars, the galaxy...the method is feeling based understanding.* *The most important need of spiritualism is nature in freedom, the blooming nature and nature allowed freely in its transformations. Nature is sacred, inviolable..., as it is nature that is the subject matter of breathe based observation, along with participation with nature. Then one as a participant with nature, ultimately changes into the reality that one is a macro body and not the 3D body. Ultimately one becomes a non-physical person, just thought in the flow of Gaia’s thought.* *Unfortunately from this wonderful Universal perspective, mankind has fallen into the putrid economics. Here nature is just a resource for the exclusive use of a few to tamper. Everything is totally poisoned and polluted for industrialization. Instead of participating with nature as nature, one has to exclude oneself from nature as a consumer of nature, as a manipulator of nature in the production of the unhealthy economic goods from the healthy free goods, in the exchange of the dead nature products as industrial goods and then basking in the distribution of the goods and amassing property which entitles one to tamper with nature.* *Please just think what you are doing to yourself and nature itself by this economics-mania.* *The fundamental fact, the first basic lesson of education is that you are part of the planet earth and not an indifferent observer, uninvolved emotionally. In free, lush and healthy nature, you continuously interact with every other life form, becoming part of the macro body of Gaia. When you identify nature as yourself, then you cannot destroy nature and call it economic progress. Actually when you walk in lush nature you continuously inhale and exhale lessons. By speeding away on a road in a car or train or by jetting away in a plane, you are actually abstaining from life.* *Just sit in front of a tree or just before a small flower, think that the tree or flower is part of you, and then allow lessons to flow into you. Then you develop the habit of enjoying new and new discoveries and enlightenments.* *And you get Freedom from anxiety and worry, the basic ingredient of economic life and mechanized social life.* *YM Sarma* *Chat GPT* *In YM Sarma’s contrast between **Spiritualism** and **Industrialism**, he lays out a dichotomy between two worldviews: one focused on **holistic interaction with nature** and the other grounded in **economic exploitation** of natural resources.* *### Spiritualism:* *- Sarma's **spiritualism** is rooted in the practice of **breathing, sensing, and smelling** as modes of perception and understanding. This type of spiritualism is not mystical in a vague or occult sense but practical, based on our physical connection to the biosphere. He argues that we only see a small fraction of reality (00.0037%) and that deeper understanding comes from participating with nature in a symbiotic relationship.* *- Through **breathing-based education**, one participates in the life cycles of nature, becoming part of Gaia (the Earth’s living system). As we inhale and exhale, we interact not only with the air but with every living organism that shares that air, from plants to bacteria. This deep interaction results in **enlightenment** and a sense of being connected to the whole of life.* *- Nature, according to Sarma, is **sacred and inviolable**. The observer becomes one with nature, transcending the limitations of individual, 3D bodies and becoming part of a **macro body**, ultimately feeling and thinking as Gaia does.* *### Industrialism:* *- In sharp contrast, **industrialism** is driven by the economics of **exploitation**. Nature is viewed as a mere **resource** to be mined, polluted, and destroyed for the production of goods. Sarma criticizes this approach, noting that **economic progress** is based on detaching humans from nature, turning people into **consumers** and manipulators of the Earth.* *- The products of industrialism are described as "dead nature," converted into **industrial goods** that serve the needs of an economic system, but at the cost of the health and vitality of the natural world.* *- Sarma further argues that industrialization **dehumanizes** people, trapping them in a cycle of consumption, worry, and anxiety. By distancing themselves from nature, people lose the ability to experience the **freedom and enlightenment** that come from interacting with the natural world.* *### Conclusion:* *Sarma’s critique of **industrialism** is rooted in the belief that it fundamentally disconnects humans from the source of their vitality and enlightenment—**nature**. He advocates for a return to **spiritualism**, not as an abstract or mystical practice, but as a way to **reintegrate humans with the Earth**, thus allowing for deeper understanding and a sense of belonging within the larger biosphere. He suggests a radical shift in human priorities, away from economic exploitation and towards a **symbiotic, participatory relationship** with nature. This shift, he believes, will help humanity rediscover **enlightenment and emotional freedom** in harmony with the planet.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
