The world of many diversities doesn't belong to anyone or anything

Neither the world of many diversities and communities nor the planet earth nor anything in this infinite space belong to anyone or anything.

All land and space, the nature and natural resources, and all and everything in anywhere in the universe don't belong to anyone or anything.

All and everyone and everything are merely existing momentarily and sharing this infinite space that doesn't belong to anyone and anything. 

'Discrimination', 'separateness', 'borders', 'documentation', 'emigration', 'immigration', 'nationality', 'citizenship', 'legalization', 'criminalization', 'authorization', or 'legal and illegal immigrants' don't exist, as well as all and everyone are free to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling everywhere in the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, until different communities claimed possession, ownership, and authorization towards the land and space, the nature and natural resources, and all and everything in this world on planet earth that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, while create lots of story telling and justification (all kinds of beliefs and values) to justify and validate all that (all those egoistic practices that go against nature or the truth of everything as it is).

Unfortunately, even under the era of higher advanced science and technology, of higher education and development, most human beings are being brought up, educated, and empowered under certain beliefs and values to have strong attachment and identification, possessiveness and the sense of belonging, pride and patriotism, and the sense of separateness and discrimination towards what they were being conditioned to think and believe towards 'That is the way of the world', 'That is how things should be done', 'That is who they are', 'That is what belongs to them', 'That is where they belong to', 'That they need to be patriotic to protect what they belong to and what belongs to them', 'That they need approval and recognition and authorization to be who they are and for all and everything (to be born, to be alive, to be existing, to be what they are and not to be what they are not, to think or don't think, to believe or don't believe, to feel or don't feel, to behave or don't behave, to express or don't express, to be living, and to be stop living or to die)', 'That they are different from and more superior than all the others that are not one of them', 'That they have the rights or more rights to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling in certain area of land and space', and 'All the others that are not one of them don't have the rights or have less rights to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling in certain area of land and space that they think and believe that belong to them'.

How ridiculous is that, the authorities, the law makers, the armies, and the soldiers have 'the rights' to hurt and kill all and everyone and destroy all and everything, causing all kinds of unnecessary difficulties and painful suffering unto many innocent lives in the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, while all and everyone doesn't even have the rights or freedom to die at one's own wish, that it is illegal and criminalized and punishable for want to stop living due to the existence of all kinds of unnecessary difficulties and painful suffering that exist because of the existence of all kinds of man made greed, selfishness, possessiveness, discrimination, separateness, bullying, cruelty, violence, and madness deriving from ignorance, or because people appreciate and respect all lives and everything, and they don't want to be forced to be engaging in violence to hurt and kill and destroy all and everyone and everything? How ridiculous is that many kind people wish to stop living because they are being forced to become armies and soldiers that hurt and kill others and cause hurtful destruction unto all and everything, and they will be criticized, condemned, and punished for don't want to hurt and kill others?

The many different leaders/authorities/law makers says, "We are here to protect our people and our world," while they are doing many things to hurt the people and the world that don't belong to anyone or anything as much as possible, either intentionally (wittingly) or unintentionally (unwittingly).

The children also don't belong to the parents, not to say, the diverse communities don't belong to anyone or anything.

Certain ambitious leaders/authorities misused the meanings of oneness, non-separateness, non-discrimination, and non-borders, or 'all are one', or 'we are one big family', via the practice of unification/non-diversity/non-individualism/non-independence through manipulation/force/threat/intimidation/oppression/suppression/invasion, by disallowing and criminalizing and destroying diversities and all kinds of freedom, while being ambitious to claim possession/ownership and authorization/control over the entire world of many diversities and communities as well as land, space, and natural resources that doesn't belong to anyone or anything to be governed/controlled under their own particular leadership or authority, to be materializing, supporting, and empowering their particular ambitious vision of an unify non-diverse world under their particular way of thinking and belief, values and desires.

Complete madness. 

The world doesn't have to be like this.

Inquire the truth of everything.

May all be free, be happy, be peaceful.

The presence of freewill vs the absence of freewill

The inevitable unconditional unlimited permanent infinite truth of Selflessness and Impermanence in all and everything, doesn't change or disappear, that cannot be changed, or modified, or destroyed, or eliminated, regardless of whether there is the realization, or knowledge, or understanding towards the truth of selflessness and impermanence in all and everything, or not. It is what it is.

All and everything that are selfless and impermanent, that exist and function as what they are, only for a momentary limited duration, are constantly changing selflessly and impermanently, as well as the selfless impermanent changes are conditional, that can be influenced, rendered, or modified in certain way, up to certain degrees, under certain limitation) during the momentary limited existence and function of all and everything.

There is, and there isn't freewill, depending on the subjects and the current conditions or situations, that is also limited and conditional, that can be presence or absence, that is available or not available, and that can be empowered from the existing existence.

Such as, 'correct understanding'/'willpower'/'self control' might be absent/not available/non-existing (non-activated), or might be present/available/existing and maybe significantly or insignificantly (activated), in this present moment now, but correct understanding, willpower, and self control can be formed or developed from non-existence, and be empowered from existing existence. Because all that are both limited (that can be presence or absence/available or not available/existing or non-existing/significant or insignificant/strong or weak) and conditional (that can be developed or subjugated/annihilated, can be empowered or suppressed/weakened, can increase or decrease, during the limited momentary existence), even if all and everything are selfless and impermanent, where there is no finite or infinite independent 'I' existing in the existence of all kinds of names and forms, and the selfless existence of all and everything is momentary.

The selfless eyes cannot see itself (being ignorant towards itself), but under the presence of a selfless reflective object, the selfless eyes can see itself (knowing Thyself). From the absence of knowledge to the presence of knowledge under the presence of doubting, learning, experiencing, investigating, reflecting, and inquiring. All and everything that the mind perceives, or the selfless impermanent modification of the mind/the mind stuff, deriving from its own selfless impermanent existence and function, are the selfless reflector for the mind to know itself. It doesn't need to rely on something that is not coming from itself.

That is freewill that comes along with the selfless impermanent existence and function of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty.

That is the knowledge/liberation/freedom/peace/independence that is always there, that is existing in all selfless minds, regardless of the absence or presence of physical and mental deformity/disability, happy or unhappy, pure or impure, kind or unkind, understanding or non-understanding, ignorant and selfish, or not, violent and hurtful, or not.

There is freewill (that is neither good nor bad, depending on the presence or absence of correct understanding that gives rise to the type of ideas/thoughts/desires/actions/reactions/behaviors and their consequences) in the selfless thinking and acting faculty of the selfless physical body, even if it is limited and conditional, under the presence of the selfless conscious awareness in the selfless thinking and acting faculty for certain things (to make conscious choices and to perform action and inaction that can influence, render, and modify the condition of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical body and the modification/state of the mind), especially towards transcending (not being over-powered or determined by) all kinds of inevitable limitation and the absence of freewill (not by choice) to be existing and functioning that needed to be depending on the availability of the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements.

Without the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, there is no physical body, there is no perceptive thinking and acting faculty, there is no physical and mental desire/action/reaction that give rise to the consequences of desire/action/reaction. (The absence of freewill or choice to be coming into selfless impermanent momentary limited and conditional life existence to be existing and functioning as what they are)

The chair didn't exist until it exists. The chair 'didn't' (it didn't exist until it comes into existence) and doesn't (after it comes into existence) have the intention or freewill to be existing to be what it is. Similarly, all and everything. The selfless body and mind didn't exist until it exists. The selfless body and mind 'didn't' and doesn't have the intention or freewill to be existing to be what it is. That is the truth of Non-self and Selflessness. The truth is fixed, permanent, infinite, indestructible. The truth doesn't change.

Under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, the selfless physical body with the selfless thinking and acting mind is existing and functioning as what they are, but there is no 'I' existing in the entire formation of the different bodily systems and components that perform their own specific duty and work together selflessly and inter-dependent on one another that enabling the selfless existence and function of the physical body and the thinking and acting mind to be what they are. (The truth of Selflessness)

Even though all and everything are selfless, and impermanent, that only existing for a momentary limited duration, where there is no independent individual self identity/existence of 'I' existing in all and everything to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes/to enjoy or suffer, it doesn't mean that all these selfless names and forms don't exist or function as what they are, momentarily, selflessly, and impermanently, undergoing ceaseless selfless impermanent changes, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect (actions and consequences of actions), in this present moment now, in this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything. It doesn't mean that the selfless existence and function of the selfless complex thinking and acting faculty under the presence of the selfless conscious awareness doesn't have the limited freewill of choice making and to perform selfless action or inaction, either under the presence or absence of correct understanding that is limited and conditional.

There is no 'I' existing in the selfless impermanent body and mind to be responsible for the actions and consequences of actions of the selfless impermanent body and mind, it doesn't mean that the selfless impermanent body and mind is not responsible for its actions and consequences of actions.

All kinds of selfless names and forms are undergoing inevitable ceaseless impermanent changes from forming to existence, to decay and disintegration, to ceased existence. (The truth of Impermanence)

Coming into selfless impermanent momentary life existence that is limited and conditional (not by its own choice/the absence of freewill, as it didn't exist until the selfless formation of its selfless impermanent momentary existence and function that is limited and conditional), but if without the presence of conscious awareness (of being disconnected from the selfless consciousness that is always there as it is), under certain physical/mental deformity or disability, there is no 'perception of suffering', there is no 'yearning to be free from suffering', there is no 'the path of transcending suffering', there is no 'the end of suffering'.

Under the presence of conscious awareness, the selfless impermanent physical body under the existence and function of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty perceives/experiences/undergoing inevitable selfless impermanent changes that gives rise to the perception of suffering under the presence of ignorance (the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, or restless thought current/activities) a.k.a. under the absence of correct understanding (clarity, devoid of the restless thought current/activities, impurities, egoism, the idea of 'I'), and there is the yearning to be free from suffering, and there is the path of transcending suffering, and there is the end of suffering. (The presence of limited freewill to make conscious choices, and to perform action or inaction that can influence, or render, or modify the limited and conditional condition of the physical body and the modification/state of the mind in certain way, that influence the inevitable selfless impermanent changes in certain way)

The presence of conscious choice making and the opportunity and possibility of performing action out of the limited freewill of the selfless thinking and acting faculty either under the presence or absence of correct understanding that give rise to respective consequences of actions, are depending on the availability of the selfless supportive energy and elements, and the current condition and situation that is limited, conditional, and impermanent. (The truth of Non-self, not in the control of the selfless thinking and acting faculty that has the limited freewill to be making conscious choice and to perform action/inaction either under the presence or absence of correct understanding)

Even though there is the limitation of Non-self, of the presence and absence of supportive energy and elements, and the current conditions and situations (not in the control of the selfless thinking and acting faculty), that gives rise to the presence or absence of opportunity, or the possibility and impossibility to be materializing the choices made to turn into actions in the present moment now, however, the possibility and impossibility of materializing the choices made to perform action, are also impermanent, that will change.

The selfless mind that understands, it will seize the presence of certain opportunity and possibility that is available in this present moment now, to perform certain action, to materialize some of its choices made, while not being determined by the absence of certain opportunity or possibility in the present moment now, where it is not possible to perform certain action, to materialize some of its choices made. But it will wait for the presence of opportunity and possibility for performing certain actions, while make use of the availability of some other opportunity and possibility to be performing some other actions that is available in the present moment now.

Instead of being determined by the availability or non-availability of certain condition and situation, the selfless thinking and acting faculty can choose to either make use or not making use of the current available condition and situation in certain way to achieve certain thing, to choose and determine what to do with the current condition and situation, while not being the slave of the availability or non-availability of certain condition and situation in the present moment now. The selfless thinking faculty can choose to perform action or inaction, and how it wants to act and react under the presence of correct understanding and self control, not being over-powered by the instinctive urges/impulses. That is TRANSCEND. That is freewill, that is existing in this present moment now.

It is like maneuvering the yacht (action) that needs to depend on the availability of the wind and the direction of the wind (opportunity and possibility) to go somewhere, to reach specific destination (materializing choices made). The yacht or the wind doesn't determine the specific destination. The sailor (the selfless thinking and acting faculty under the presence of conscious awareness) does (out of the limited freewill of choice making). The sailor might need to wait for the presence of wind, and the right direction of the wind, and seizes the presence of wind that has the right direction that enables the sailor to reach the specific destination, patiently, persistently, and determinedly.

Meanwhile, if there is the presence of wind and the direction of the wind can bring the yacht to some other destinations, that are also within the choices, or even not within the choices of the sailor, to rest and refuel while waiting for the presence of the wind with the right direction heading towards the initial final destination, why not? (Transcend, or liberation, where the selfless thinking and acting faculty is not being over-powered, or determined, or disturbed, by the limited and conditional selfless impermanent changes, conditions, and situations that are not in its control (Non-self and Impermanence).

Without the yacht or the sailor, or without the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements that enables the yacht and the sailor to be what they are, there is no yacht or sailor. (Selflessness)

The yacht or the sailor is constantly changing (inevitable selfless impermanent changes) upon the beginning of its selfless existence and function, of decay, disintegration, ceased function, and ceased existence (decompose). (Impermanence)

The yacht or the sailor is dependent on the presence and absence of wind and the direction of wind that is not in their control, in order to be in use or to be in action. (Non-self)

Meanwhile, the ceaseless maintenance of the selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional condition of the yacht, to be functioning and performing at its best condition and efficiency for the maximum duration, is at the conscious choice and action of the sailor or the care taker of the yacht, as well as the ceaseless maintenance of the selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional condition of the sailor, to be functioning and performing at its best condition and efficiency for the maximum duration, to be well-equip with the essential knowledge and skill to be sailing and maneuvering the yacht and dealing with extreme conditions or weather or situations, is at the conscious choice and action of the selfless thinking and acting faculty of the sailor.

Not all sailors or yachts can reach their initial final destination at the desirable specific speed (limited and conditional), but, each and everyone will be arriving at their initial final destination, or any destinations, sooner or later, eventually, as long as they haven't ceased functioning and existing yet, or they are still functioning or existing supported by the selfless energy and elements to be existing and functioning as what they are, or the sailor decided to abandon being a sailor, while the yacht that might or might not be continuously functioning, can be abandoned, or can be used by another sailor, until it ceased functioning and existing.

Under great desperation (the presence of intense yearning towards liberation/freedom/peace), the sailor might find some other ways (paddle(s) or an engine) under the absence of wind of the right direction, or even, abandoning the yacht and swims, or walks over land and climbs over mountains, while taking sufficient rest and refuel during the entire journey, and arrives at the destination of its choice, regardless of the presence of any difficulties, obstacles, or challenges. It is called willpower, perseverance, determination, adjustment, adaptation, accommodation, forbearance, patience, and never give up.

That's why the presence of that limited freewill to be making conscious choices under the presence of conscious awareness, that can render or direct the selfless evolution in certain way, is highly precious.

Make good use of the available energy and elements, instead of being determined by the energy and elements that are intentionless. The energy and elements, or the selfless impermanent life existence doesn't decide how the thinking and acting faculty will make use of them, or the selfless impermanent life existence, but it is the selfless thinking and acting faculty that decides what to do with the availability of the energy and elements, or the selfless impermanent life existence, even if it is momentary and limited.

Without that, the living organisms are just merely existing, functioning, and surviving in the present moment now until they ceased functioning and ceased existing, being completely over-powered, or determined, or influenced by (being the slave of) the selfless instinctive survival instinct, the selfless instinctive urges/impulses, the selfless inherited genetic traits, the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, the selfless actions and consequences of actions, the selfless inputs and the selfless impermanent surrounding environment, or the internal and external influential conditions and influences, and the selfless impermanent changes/evolution (the absence of "conscious freewill to evolve in certain way under the presence of correct understanding/knowledge").

Unconscious - The presence of autonomous physical and mental activities operated under the absence of freewill to be maintaining life existence and function under the availability of the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, up to certain extend, and the absence of non-autonomous conscious by choice physical and mental activities operated under the presence of limited freewill. (Being the slave of the instinctive survival instinct and urges/impulses)

Conscious - The presence of both autonomous physical and mental activities operated under the absence of freewill for life maintenance, as well as non-autonomous conscious by choice physical and mental activities operated under the presence of limited freewill that can influence, affect, or impact the life maintenance operated under the autonomous selfless bodily systems, or the selfless impermanent changes (decay and disintegration) of the body and mind in certain way (either constructive/beneficial/prolonged life existence/enhanced bodily mechanisms and functions or destructive/detrimental/shortened life existence/weakened bodily mechanisms and functions, depending on the presence or absence of correct understanding and self control), under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, up to certain extend. (The ability/possibility to be transcending all kinds of limitation and condition, or not being the slave of the instinctive survival instinct and urges/impulses)

The mind that understands this, will do one's best within one's ability and possibility to be looking after oneself and/or others and the surrounding environment, performs one's existing duties and responsibilities, without violence or force or control, without attachment, identification, craving, aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, not trying to force or control anything to be or not to be in certain way, respecting all and everyone to be what they are, as they are, and changing as they are, while allowing the fruit/result/effect/outcome of one's action to be what it is, to change as it is, allowing the body and mind and the world to change/evolve as it is, after performing actions.

That is perform actions and renounce the fruit of actions.

That is inaction in action.

That is TRANSCEND, liberation, freedom, or peace.

My daily asana practice 2020 stamina training (8)

This is part of my daily asana practice for stamina training.

Stamina training in yoga isn't just about enhancing physical stamina, strength and flexibility, but more importantly, it's about developing inner stamina, strength and flexibility, which is endurance, perseverance, determination, forbearance, patience, tolerance, acceptance, adjustment, adaptation and accommodation, while being free from attachment, identification, craving, aversion, judgment, comparison and expectation.

How to practice yoga for the mind to transcend names and forms?

How to practice yoga for the mind to transcend names and forms, to realize unconditional peace and freedom?

Stop identifying with any quality of names and forms as 'I', or what/who the mind think is 'I', or 'This is I'. Such as specific specie, race, culture, nationality, family background, gender, sexual orientation, personality, characteristic, appearance, talent, skill, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, thinking, belief, spirituality, religion, political view, lifestyle, social status, social network, friend circles, educational background, career, profession, livelihood, experience, contribution, non-contribution, achievement, non-achievement, ability, disability, and so on.

Living within this worldly egoistic society that is being conditioned by documentation/nationality/citizenship/specific rights under specific law and orders, which derived from basic instinct of living beings and human civilization of 'survival instinct', 'self-protectiveness', 'selfishness', 'possession of land and resources', 'food agriculture', 'village', 'township', 'city', 'country', 'capitalism', 'consumerism', 'procreation' and 'greed', we all are unwittingly being 'forced' to carry certain 'social personal identity' with certain names and forms to be living and moving in this world, (or else, one would be 'illegal' being anywhere on Earth and would be discriminated, persecuted and prosecuted if without any 'proper/legal' documentation and citizenship), but all these identities with different names and forms are not 'I', and it's not easy to be living and moving in the world if being 'illegal' without all these so called legal/proper/essential documentation/recognition, even though all these shouldn't be existing in the beginning.

But, it's possible to free the mind from attachment and identification towards all these external identities with different names and forms as 'I', or what we think and believe as 'who/what am I', while 'playing' along with the worldly games of 'legality and all kinds of documentation/rights/permission' for being where you are and what you are and what you do, to be able to have a livelihood and the limited freedom of moving around only within the area that is 'legally allowed'.

The moment the mind identifies as "I am this or that" and "I am not this or that", separateness and discrimination exists in oneself, regardless of whether one is aware of it, or not, agrees or disagrees with it.

As long as there's any identification of any particular name and form as 'I' or "This is I/This is not I", even as "I am good/I am not good", or "I am a good human being/I am a bad human being", or "I believe in God/I disbelieve in God", "I am female/I am male/I am neither female or male", or "I am a yogi/I am not a yogi", separateness and discrimination is there naturally as it is, even if we have no intention at all to generate separateness and discrimination between ourselves and all the others whom are not being identified within the same category of similar name and form. This is not denial of 'fact', as some people would argue about that.

Even when the mind perceives all the different names and forms, colours and shapes, features and characteristics, but the one same nature of everything under all the different names and forms is the same - Impermanence and Selflessness. If one keeps following the truth of impermanence and selflessness to inquire the truth of everything, it would lead/guide one's mind towards liberation from ignorance, egoism, impurities and suffering, even without a particular human or non-human teacher being existing to guide oneself, even if the world is a messy place full of all kinds ignorance and corruption, which all started from the selfish desire to hoard and possess resources and lands, to protect 'goodness' and 'mine-ness', to eliminate 'badness' and 'the threats towards mine-ness', with the excuse 'to keep things in order/under control'.

This practice of non-identification/non-attachment towards impermanent names and forms that leads to the realization of selflessness, is the very basic practice, as well as the upmost important practice in the path of yoga and Buddhism.

Otherwise, even by passionately fighting for 'non-discrimination', and keep shouting 'Say No To Racism/Stop Racism', 'Say No To Discrimination/Stop Discrimination', 'We All Are One', 'We All Are Citizen Of The World', 'We Want Peace', 'We Want Freedom', 'We Want Change', and etc, it won't work, as the world will still be the same, full of 'corruption', 'oppression', 'unjust', 'unrest', 'separateness' and 'discrimination' everywhere, even if the authority appears to be giving in for the moment, and seems to be giving people what they demand/wish/want to see and hear, it's just a momentary strategy for 'pleasing the people' on the surface, and meanwhile, there are some other 'selfish messy things' that are brewing underneath somewhere, while everyone is happily thinking and believing that they have successfully made a change in the world, that they have gotten what they wanted from the authority.

Separateness and discrimination is there, even when one thinks and believes that oneself is completely free from any discrimination towards anyone or anything, which is impossible, as even the idea/notion/identification of "I don't discriminate anyone or anything" is separateness and discrimination itself. Unless one attains 'self-realization' towards selflessness/egolessness/'I'lessness, where there's no 'I' existing to be identified as "I am discriminating or non-discriminating."

The 'self' in the 'self-realization', is not referring that 'there is a self-existence/individual being/soul/spirit', but it's the selfless/'I'less mind realizing the truth of 'I'/'self', or 'who/what the mind thinks and believes and identifies as a self-existence of an individual being', where there's no 'I', or 'self-existence', or 'individual being', but just merely the selfless mind perception of an impermanent and selfless names and forms of a life existence under the selfless function of a physical body and the perceptive/thinking mind forming, changing, decaying and deforming. If the mind perceives meaningfulness, it's just the mind feels meaningful. It's not "I am meaningful" or "I feel meaningful". And even that perception of meaningfulness is impermanent and selfless.

It's not that difficult to realize the truth of impermanence, but ignorance and egoism hinders the mind from realizing selflessness, even for those who gave up many worldly relationships and things trying to conquer the mind, as there's an identification of 'I', or 'self-existence', being there hindering the mind to annihilate the delusive existence of an ego. "I am practicing", "I am improving/declining", "My practice is good/not good", "My mind is good/not good", "I have a good meditation practice today", "I like to practice X brand/X style yoga", "I learn and practice XXX yoga. I am a XXX yogi", "I want to be like my teacher/guru", "I wish there's a great teacher to guide me", "I couldn't do my practice because I was sick", "I can do my practice now because I am in good health", "I am performing selfless service/action", "I am selfless/I want to be selfless", "I am kind and compassionate/I want to be kind and compassionate", and so on.

Let it go. Let go all the 'I', 'my', 'mine'. And one will know.

When the mind transcends all the different qualities of impermanent names and forms of what it perceives through the senses selflessly, it will realize unconditional peace and true freedom being undetermined, unaffected, undisturbed and uninfluenced by any quality of names and forms, may it be the quality of 'good' or 'bad', 'right' or 'wrong', 'positive' or 'negative', 'happiness' or 'unhappiness', 'meaningfulness' or 'meaninglessness', 'pleasantness' or 'unpleasantness', 'praise' or 'condemn', 'pleasurable enjoyment' or 'painful suffering', and so on.

Some people might say, "I don't want this kind of peace and freedom. It doesn't sound right, as we need to get involve, we need to be active in order to make changes, to fight for our rights, peace and freedom."

If people can think about it calmly, it's ridiculous that anyone needs to 'fight for' or 'obtain' certain rights, peace and freedom from any 'Authorization', or 'Organization', or 'particular existence', in this world.

Protests of any kind, and fighting for any rights or benefits from 'Some Body' or 'The Authority', shouldn't be existing at all. None should be 'documented', 'recognized', 'approved', '(mercifully) be given certain rights' by such and such 'Person' and 'Authority', in the first place. Who give 'them' the power to be 'possessing' so much power and 'owning' everyone's freedom of being existing on earth? It's 'The People' themselves. People don't see the root cause of 'why would anyone need to obtain or fight for 'certain rights', 'peace' and 'freedom'. None 'owns' anyone. None 'belongs' to anyone. None needs to 'be given' or 'receiving' any rights from anyone or so called 'The Authority'. Any kind of 'Rights' that discriminates those that are 'non-eligible for Rights' or 'less Rights', shouldn't exist at all. Everyone is just what they are and how they are. Who are supporting those who become 'The Authority' who then created 'The System' with all kinds of rights? It's 'The People' themselves, who gave away their basic freedom of being existing on earth to an 'Authorization'.

People think and believe that it's normal or there's nothing abnormal, where all and everyone need to be 'documented', 'recognized', 'allowed' and 'approved', to 'live somewhere', to 'survive', to 'obtain something', or to 'apply something', or to 'fight for something', from 'somebody' or 'the authority' to be who they are and where they are, so that they can be 'legally' being 'recognized' by 'somebody' or 'the authority' to be living/surviving/moving on certain restricted area on Earth. 

 

It's absurd that anyone would naturally be 'illegal' being anywhere on Earth upon birth, until one is 'recognized' and 'documented', and one would be persecuted and prosecuted if without any 'legal/proper' documentation and citizenship, even though all planets, lands, oceans, mountains, space and natural resources in the world or the universe doesn't belong to anyone or anything, but they were being 'self-claimed'/'conquered'/'dominated'/'robbed' by certain human beings from the very beginning until now. Except probably those people who become 'The Authority', who are the ones who create and carryout those 'law and orders' to 'dominate' the rest of the people, are not bound by 'The System' that they have created. And people who started to realize so many things that are 'not right' in the world, are still being there continuing to support to have 'The Authority and The System', wittingly or unwittingly, allowing 'The Authority and The System' to be in power to do all that.

If people truly want to experience real non-separateness and non-discrimination in this world, it's not about changing 'The Authority or The System', it's about abandoning 'The Authorization and The System', by letting go all kinds of nationalities, borders and documentations, but it will only works if all and everyone letting it go, as 'The System' cannot run without the majority of 'The People' being there who want to be 'protected' by 'The System', to be given 'the privilege of certain rights' for being somewhere and somebody, and to move about and make a livelihood here and there within a limited area, legally. If there are still some people supporting 'The Authorization and The System', they will still be in power and will only benefit certain group of people of their own supporter, but oppressing/discriminating/controlling/prosecuting all the others, who would like to be free from all those that shouldn't be there in the first place.

Most people would not want to abandon Authorization and The System, as they are reluctant to let go 'the privilege of receiving and having certain rights' that they received from an Authorization and The System. People who are living in a rather comfortable space and have more than enough livelihood would like to have 'The System' to 'protect' them, their home and their livelihood, as well as there's fear of "What will happen if themselves become 'the unwanted/unwelcome illegal immigrants' anywhere in the world, without 'proper/legal' documentation/recognition and losing all their privilege and rights to be somewhere, to live somewhere, to make a living somewhere, to go somewhere, or to do something?" While the world, the earth, the lands, the oceans, the mountains, the resources, the space, the air and the universe doesn't belong to anyone or anything, but 'The Authorization' took all that and claimed 'power' and 'dominate' everyone, by telling everyone, I am doing this (running The System) to protect you, your livelihood, your home and your benefits from foreign attack, invasion, or damage. "There are bad people out there waiting to hurt you and your livelihood. We are here to keep them away to protect you and your livelihood." That's what they want everyone to think and believe. This is not any different from GANGSTERISM.

Most people who are mentally healthy don't want to 'hurt', or 'invade', or 'attack', or 'rob', or 'conquer' anyone or anything that doesn't belong to anyone, intentionally, where all and everyone are free to be sharing the resources that are available anywhere on earth. Most living beings just keep moving to find resources to survive. And all kinds of resources don't belong to anyone. But somehow, somewhere, somebody/a community started to claim ownership or possession towards certain resources that they found, and want to keep it all for themselves and stop any others coming to 'share' some of it. And out of survival instinct, most people would think and believe that that is the best way running the world in order to be able to survive, at least enough for themselves.

Ridiculous, but most people don't see that as ridiculousness, but for them, it is something great.

Even a rather good country with good (kind and compassionate) leadership running 'The System', discrimination is still existing, as the resources are limited and they need to 'keep it for themselves and their own people', even if they would like to share some of their resources with some others, they cannot take everyone onto 'their boat'. They have to filter and discriminate who and how many they want to bring onto 'their boat' to share their limited resources.

For those who are interested in searching for unconditional peace and true freedom, who are interested in practicing yoga of renunciation and dispassion, can contemplate on the teaching and practice of transcending names and forms. Inquire the truth of everything.

Those who aren't interested in renunciation and dispassion to realize unconditional peace and freedom that seems to be not the kind of freedom that they want, they don't have to do anything, but continue living their everyday life as they like, as they are. Living in The System, supporting The System. If they don't like anything about The System, they complain and protest, and they might get some 'nice treats' from The Authority from time to time, so that they will think that The Authority is not so bad anyway, thinking that they would rather be 'protected' by The System than attaining independence and dealing with the world being shared among all and everyone peacefully without discrimination.

Most people talk highly about independence, but they don't really like to be independent. It's too tough for them. They only like independence from being controlled by 'the others who are not them', that they perceived and categorized as 'predator/enemy/invader/those who are not us', but they want to be controlled by their very own Authority, no matter how bad and corrupted it is, and feel 'as long as I have the privilege of certain rights' and 'I am being protected somehow'.

"One of our own go out there to invade some other's land and take over their resources, is being praised and recognized as 'our hero', while the others come to invade our land and take over our resources is being condemned and recognized as 'intruder/robber/enemy/bad people'." How contradicting that is.

The world has its own natural system and running on that system of the law of nature autonomously. But, human minds have fear towards "without leadership, authority and human made system to keep things in order and to control human's conduct and activity, to protect 'our' resources, livelihood, goodness and homeland." Many 'good' people also concern about the nature or the earth would be damaged by certain 'bad' people, and think that they need an Authority and The System to protect the nature or the earth. But, ever since there's authorization and human made system existing in the world, did it stop anyone who are mentally-ill, greedy and selfish, and have intention to be doing something that 'good' people think they shouldn't do, from behaving selfishly and destructively? Nope. Did it effectively get rid of all kinds of ignorant selfish social interaction and activity? Nope. But, it becomes a platform that gives rise to many forms of corruption, prejudice, unjust, oppression, separateness, discrimination, violence, hatred, crimes, wars, 'legal' invasions, fear, unrest, and etc.

Even in the world of Yoga and Buddhism is not free from being influenced by worldly egoistic ideas and system.

In Swami Sivananda's teachings, "The world would probably run smoother if all the leaders are being taken out of the world."

Renounce the world. None can change the world by controlling/expecting the world to be in certain way that 'I' think how it should be, unless all and everyone is free from ignorance and egoism, and the world is fine as it is, without the need of 'control'.

Stamina training in yoga isn't just about enhancing physical stamina, strength and flexibility, but more importantly, it's about developing inner stamina, strength and flexibility, which is endurance, perseverance, determination, forbearance, patience, tolerance, acceptance, adjustment, adaptation and accommodation, while being free from attachment, identification, craving, aversion, judgment, comparison and expectation.

My daily asana practice 2020 stamina training (5)

This is part of my daily asana practice for stamina training as well as attention or concentration training. The entire practice routine is spontaneous with different movements and requires maximum attention, or else once the mind wanders off, the practice will be broken as we won't be able to resemble what were the movements earlier. It's a way to improve memorization.

My daily asana practice 2020 in harmony with menstruation | normal speed

This is part of my daily asana practice in the midst of menstruation. I have no particular diet restriction/preference or ancient belief practice and cultural rules to observe during menstruation, but just do whatever my body feels comfortable in the present moment. I would take complete rest from physical activities if that’s what my body needs. I am now entering my 50’s in another few months and transitioning towards menopause. Thanks to all my on going physical exercises since I was a child I never had any problems with menstruation and it was always punctual except once when it was late for two weeks due to the intense physical training when I was participating in the FISAF world sport aerobics championship 2002 in France.

Wishing everyone peace during this time being.
