On Islam, terrorism, sociopathy and dopamine - rakshasas, and Sahajis

At Nazimuddin- Delhi.
We are bombarded by all types of analysis about terrorism and Islamism.I suggest the Sahaj family to go back to the roots.
«… And I was surprised that the whole concept of Islam is Sahaja. Absolutely. »1992-0211: Sydney.
« …they said that what's wrong with Islam is that the Muslims are very far away from Islam, they've said it. »1992-0315: To Sahaja yogis, Malaysia

In the West, our societies produce psychopaths by hundreds. 
Since 2006, there have been more than 200 mass killings in the United States. Worldwide, such attacks kill up to 7,000 per year, to which figure Iraq and Afghanistan raise the number to 10 or 15 thousands in total. 
2016, USA Today
The sociopaths suffers from a distorted relation to other people, which is inhibited by common laws, or ethics. This tension is painful. Of course, emotional, psychological traumas are to be taken in account. Though, the sociopaths long for release from such inner tensions, and need three signals to get into action:
- A superior Ethics that “blesses” his action. All fundamentalisms are good for that. Breivik (77 killed in Norway) painted himself as a Crusader of the Western male culture. Revenge against “bullies” and their passive schoolmates is often enough in the USA (Columbine, 1999, 13 killed).
- A model that shows that the action is feasible, and can be successful. Which explains the series of mass murders in a time-line.
- In addition, Salafism promises paradise (and quite a number of virgins). Other shootings provide celebrity, in a society which fulfills the prediction of Andy Warhol: "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" (in the program for a 1968 exhibition of his work).
Under such circumstances, we have to discriminate properly what is what, avoid amalgams and generalization, point out where does the hate, and the haters lie, and, last but not least read again Shri Mataji, quoted at the last end of this note.

1/ ISLAM, Wahabis and Salafis
-Wahabism is the SAUDI version of Islam, a monarchic-state version derived from Salafism, which only considers “pure” the life-style that was lived by the side of the Prophet, in those “glorious” times.
« In no way I could be against Islam and ever to criticize Mohammed Sahib. He was Divine no doubt, and tried to do divine work. But out of that divine work these stupid people have come up, who accept those devilish people. You'll be amazed to know that in Islam there are seventy-four groups. They say we follow one religion. But they do not. Out of these, some of them are really evil people and they call themselves by the name as Devbandi because this is a place in India and also they are called as wahabis. I have been knowing them since long because in our household, in my father's household, we had lots of Muslim people working, as cooks, as drivers, as other servants and these wahabis are very interesting people because they don't believe even in Mohammed Sahib.So if you tell them that Mohammed Sahib has said such and such thing, they say, "No, we don't believe in Mohammed Sahib.""So, whom do you believe?"-"We believe in Allah." "Have you met Allah? Have you seen Him that you are believing them?"
But in their whole behavior it was cruelty which was innately built. Very cruel. And whenever my father saw that he ordered them to get out because always had a sinister practices by which they used to treat others.
I never knew that it will come up to that stage and they are mostly, they were, from Afghanistan. Can you imagine? Mostly. Of course they tortured other Afghanis also and wherever they went they had a specialty that they could be very cruel. Not all Afghanis, no!  not at all, but some of them and they came to India from Afghanistan and we have different types of Afghanis. Some were very loving, kind, helpful, very nice people and some of them were very cruel.
First we didn't understand, what is this? But because my father was a scholar and, a scholar of Islam he told us, "These are not Islamic. They call themselves wahabis and they are not Islamic. "I can see that today so clearly. Not that in other religions or in other groups there are not bad people, but these wahabis were secretly working out different groups. They are not many and that's what my father had told me, "One day they will become very explosive and they might try to completely ruin the world." First I couldn't understand because, after all they look like human beings only. He says, he told me, "They are absolutely camouflaged and once they start their cruelty, you will not know what to do."
.../...You cannot argue with them, whatever they do, in the Koran, because they don't believe in Koran, they don't believe in Mohammed Sahib. They believe in Allah. God knows from where do they have connections! But gradually it was surprising that they could mesmerize, as we have horrible gurus who come as gurus and they mesmerize. You have seen them, people being mesmerized. So many are being exposed and so many are going to be exposed; but mostly they were people who were interested in money, in getting lots of money, somehow is in the name of religion. But that time people didn't see their cruel methods and their cruelties. …»  Navaratri Puja -  Loutraki, Athens, Greece October 21, 2001

2/ TERRORISM/ the roots of Hate
Navaratri Loutraki, 2001.

«All our activities as Sahaja yogis, I never realized were so important. We have to give so much time, not to bother about nonsensical, frivolous things, but something serious that is within us or without. That must be taken out. If I ask you how many people you hate, you may say twenty people...and... See the thing, whole atmosphere, and all this  fills me with such remorse, that I just don't know what are we going to do, the Sahaja yogis. What are their plans?.../...  It is a big lesson now for all of us, to see for ourselves, "Are we all right or we go on hating others?.../... this is a fight between the rakshasas and ourselves." Navaratri Puja -  Loutraki, Athens, Greece October 21, 2001 (more at the end of this note)

3/ SOCIOPATHY, PSYCHOPATHY
Scschizophrenia IRM
ENCYCLOPEDIAS/ Psychopathy ( also known as sociopathy) is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, dis-inhibited, egotistical traits.
 … psychopathy is sometimes associated with brain abnormalities in prefrontal-temporo-limbic regions that are involved in emotional and learning processes, -… they are "most notably in the amygdala, hippocampus … A 2010 meta-analysis found that antisocial, violent and psychopathic individuals had reduced structure function in the right orbitofrontal cortex. (Cortex is related to decision-making, while Amygdala is related to emotion, fear and aggression. Each human being has to deal with such choices, but aA bad physiological connection produces contradictions difficult to bear.)
4/ DOPAMINE
Shri Mataji's book. -Click to enlarge
«Now, now they have discovered under microscope that there are, there are loops of the same kind in every cell on the receptor. 
If they can go further they'll find a person who is sick, who - mentally sick - in his cell  an element called dopamine is secreted, they'll find out, that those loops are doubled. 
Because when there's a baddha that comes on the back side, some other soul, (which)  feeds on our awareness. Because the awareness is, is connected with our soul. And that's how what happens, that we get out of control, or disoriented from ourselves, when there is a baddha, or you become schizophrenic or, say, you become mad.» 1989-0725: Arrival Speech, Ashram Melichargasse, Vienna, Austria
ENCYCLOPEDIAS: Studies have suggested other correlations. Psychopathy was associated in two studies with an increased ratio of HVA (a dopamine metabolite) to 5-HIAA (a serotonin metabolite).  … criteria for psychopathy show a greater dopamine response to potential "rewards" such as monetary promises or taking drugs such as amphetamines. This has been theoretically linked to increased impulsivity.
Dopamine is an organic chemical that plays several important roles in the brain and body.  Dopamine is also synthesized in plants and most multicellular animals.
In the brain, dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter—a chemical released by neurons (nerve cells) to send signals to other nerve cells. The brain includes several distinct dopamine pathways, one of which plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior. Most types of reward increase the level of dopamine in the brain, and most addictive drugs increase dopamine neuronal activity. 
Other brain dopamine pathways are involved in motor control and in controlling the release of various hormones. Carlsson ( 2000 Nobel Prize) showed that dopamine is not only a precursor of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline), but is also itself a neurotransmitter.The dopamine system plays a central role in several significant medical conditions, including Parkinson's disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopam...
Hence, Dopamine, one of the oldest hormone in the Evolution, is the “mastermind” behind the fabrication and control of the levels of other hormones which define character, emotions and appropriate actions:
…High levels of testosterone combined with low levels of cortisol and/or serotonin have been theorized as contributing factors. 
Testosterone is "associated with approach-related behavior, reward sensitivity, and fear reduction", and injecting testosterone "shift[s] the balance from punishment to reward sensitivity", decreases fearfulness, and increases "responding to angry faces". …
Cortisol increases withdrawal behavior and sensitivity to punishment and adversive conditioning, which are abnormally low in individuals with ...
with ... High testosterone levels combined with low serotonin levels are associated with "impulsive and highly negative reactions", and may increase violent aggression when an individual is provoked or becomes frustrated

« This is a fight between the rakshasas and ourselves. »

See the thing, whole atmosphere and all this fills me with such remorse that I just don't know what are we going to do, the Sahaja yogis. What are their plans? Will you please look into yourself and think what constructive work we are doing and what destructive work we have been doing? 
You need a big shock to understand this. I like the way we have programs and pujas and all that, but if you ask my Inner Being, I know it is very, very, unhappy, very, very sick. 
At this time, what you have to do as Sahaja yogis, as Sahaja yogis, minimum of minimum, you should put full attention. And then, you have to take up ... see, the trouble with Sahaja Yoga is that you all start enjoying yourself and then, you don't see around what is happening.

… within us, there is still lurking some kind of a weakness that we do not try to fight, our behavior. 
I would now request you all to meditate on yourself, and see for yourself what is wrong. It's a big shock and to reduce this shock, what can Sahaja yogis do? What can they work it out, to blast this horrible ways of human life? 
It's possible with the power of love, you can manage. But we must develop that power in our hearts. Think of it.
Is a big lesson now for all of us, to see for ourselves: "Are we all right or we go on hating others?" What is the function of our mind, is to hate or to love? And this love, if it enlightens you, you'll be amazed, you will be such a big force for me. I cannot fight the whole thing alone; and I have to have people who really develop their love - and nothing else. That is one of the challenges now for all us, all of us, all the Sahaja yogis all over the world. It's not only the fight between believers and non-believers, not only the fight between Sahaja yogis and non-Sahaja yogis,  but this is a fight where we are all one and we are going to fight it out. 
At every stage we have to be much more subtler. It is very, very essential to see to the point today - are we also part and parcel of that evil thing that's working out, or are we free from that and prepared to fight it? It's a big fight and I hope it is conclusive.
After this there will be no more of cruelties to human beings, no more fights, because this is a fight between the rakshasas and ourselves
It's not ordinary. And this has to be explained, also to those who are supportive of evil forces. 
Only thing, you can say, "Mother, how are we to know who is against and who is not?" You are knowledgeable. You are Sahaja yogis. You know who is on the wrong side. I know Sahaja yogis can save and can bring them to the right path of knowledge and love, but be very careful with the propaganda of evil that is going on.
I want to touch the deepest part of your heart, which should reconcile. I am sure you all will understand the magnitude of danger that awaits. Maybe there may not be any human beings left, maybe there may not be any children left, because if this kind of thing is working out, it's very difficult, very difficult .
My whole existence gets shaking, gets shaken upYou all should see in every nook and corner of life - where is this talk going on? Where are people talking of cruelty? What's happening? You know it.
Whatever I think ...it's not one, it's not two, it's all of us. The fight that I am having is of a serious nature, no doubt. But if you all can fight collectively, how much we can work it out. 
My all efforts, understandings, powers, everything is now in your hands and that's what you should be prepared for. Not by just reading something or talking about it. You have to build up within yourself the power of love. I'm sure with the opening of the Sahasrara, you will do that. But try to read something, to understand something, with the power of love.
It's a very deep subject and when you talk about it, half-way I'm inside, half-way outside. But I have to tell you that you all develop this, and only that will form a very strong opposition to these evil-doers, as they call it. My complete blessings are on you and I want all of you, individually work it out. How many people you love, how many people? This you have to find out.
I hope you people have understood what I want you to do.
A new generation is coming up. All of you, all of you are in my Heart and I love you very much and I want you people to come as soldiers to fight with me. 
Guru 2008, after puja.
I am also told that there are some people who are forming groups. Extremely negative attitude. 
At this time what we need is a complete solidarity. So all such people whom you see, tell them to behave themselves
No use making them Sahaja yogis. I am sure, it's really heartfelt desire of mine that you should become really soldiers of love and peace because that is why you are here. You are born here for that. So enjoy yourself.»

Advaita: you will know what to do

Hari-Hara (Shiva and Vishnu) Musée Guimet, Paris
1983-0821: Mother Earth, Puja, Surbiton:
In a nutshell,(it) is that: we have to change the whole mode -a radical change has to come in the society of Sahaja Yogis! Now, if there is any question you ask me, before we start the puja.
Now, the problem comes in, where you are not the whole. All right? 
Now, supposing, as I told you, if you are the whole, then who is the other? 
Then you will, even if you have to hurt, say, for example:
if there is blood coming out of my thumb, I press it hard to stop the blood. It will hurt the thing.
But the discrimination must be used, that I'm loosing my blood which is precious, much more precious than this finger (that) it will hurt. 
But that discretion must be achieved, you see. 
In Sahaja Yoga, you're all free to develop your sense of discretion. And once you develop your sense of discretion, gradually you will know what to do. 
In the beginning you will hurt, no doubt, because you are used to that. I've seen people here, just barking at each other, as soon as they see each other they start barking. You go anywhere in the whole country you go anywhere, they start barking for nothing at all. I was surprised. In a school, I went there, there also everybody is barking at each other, you know. Whether they are drunk or not drunk, makes no difference-it's the same state.

But after Realization, you do say -because you feel concerned, you're worried, but  - you say in such a way, that you achieve the result. 
See my point is -that is the criteria-: that you should achieve the results
But, supposing a man has come for the first time (to a program) , and tell him that "you are a bhoot", then naturally he will be hurt. Very common! First day, somebody walks in, and you say (to him)  "you are a bhoot". I mean, thank God, if he doesn't understand the meaning of the word bhoot -then it's all right! But first you think of being gentle, nice, embalming, sweet. 

1984-0229: Shivaratri Puja, Pandharpur, India
Till you say "my" there is some duality. But when I say, "I, the nose" then there is no duality. 
Shiva the Shakti, Shakti the Shiva. There is no duality. 
But we live throughout on our duality and because of that, there's an attachment. If there is no duality, what is the attachment? 
If you are the light and you are the lamp, then where is the duality? If you are the moon and you are the moonlight, then where is the duality? If you are the sun and you are the sunlight, you are the word and you are the meaning, then where is the duality?
But, when there is this separation, there is duality, and because of this separation, you feel attached
Because if you are that, how will you be attached? Do you see that point? Because there is a difference and a distance between you and yours, that's why you get attached to it. 
But "it's me! - who is the other?"
"This whole universe is me, who is the other? Everything is me, who is the other?"
It is not that it's a brain wave, or a ego brain wave. 
So who is the other?  -Nobody! 

That's only possible when your Spirit comes into your brain and you become part and parcel of Viraat Itself. Viraat is the brain, as I told you. 
Then, everything that you do - when you show your temper, when you show your affection, when you show your compassion, anything - is the Spirit, that is expressing, because brain has lost its identity, the so-called limited brain. It has become the unlimited Spirit.

I do not know, I really do not know, how to give an analogy to a thing like that. But what we can do, is to understand it, that, if a color is dropped in the ocean, the ocean becomes colorful - is not possible. But, try to understand, if a little color, limited color, is dropped into the ocean, the color loses its identity completely. 
Think of the other way round: if the ocean is colored, and is poured into atmosphere, or onto any part, any little wee bit, or onto any spot, onto any atom or anything, it all becomes colorful.
So, the Spirit is like the ocean, which has the light in it, and when this ocean pours into the little cup of our brain, the cup loses its identity and everything becomes spiritual, everything. 
You can make everything spiritual, everything. You touch anything:  it is spiritual! The sand becomes spiritual, the land becomes spiritual, atmosphere becomes spiritual, celestial bodies becomes spiritual. Everything becomes spiritual.

So, it is the ocean that is the Spirit, while your brain is limited. 
So, the detachment from your limited brain has to be brought in. All limitations of brain should be broken, so that when this ocean fills that brain, it should break that little cup, and every bit of that cup should become colorful. The whole atmosphere, everything, whatever you locate, should be colorful. Color of the Spirit is the light of the Spirit and this light of the Spirit acts, works, thinks, coordinates, does everything.
This is the reason today I decided to bring Shiva Tattwa to the brain. 
On a TV program

1999-1109: Public Program, Greece
Now the time has come for that, and it is working out in so many countries. Why not in this one? 
All this is very simple. We call it Sahaja, meaning spontaneous, like one candle, one candle, which is enlightened, can candle, can enlighten many candles. But by itself the candle cannot get enlightened. If you are enlightened then you can enlighten others. You can also then start feeling the others on your finger tips because your attention and your personality becomes collective. 
Who is the other? 
But this has to happen. This has to work out. Everyone is endowed with a Kundalini and everyone can get Self-realization.

Swayamblogger comments
1/ Sahaja Yoga is  ADVAITA, not dualism. 
This has consequences.
Shiva Puja 2002
 - Shri Mataji has not come on this earth to set up in an new cult of Her Lost Body. Her unique aim was that WE become the Spirit. Spirit is the reflections of God. Not a separate entity.
 - She asks for OUR discrimination, OUR behaviour, OUR becoming to this state of "Who is the Other?" 
Not that the Vibrations will tell us (from outside); not envelopes; not a council; not super-sensitive yogis: US. You. Yourself. You-the-Self. It was all about self-realization, yes, or no? 
2/ In advaita, you will know what to do. Not thinking much about it. But knowing by wisdom. This is what 'discretion" is. This is the meaning of 'Thy will be done", when there is no more difference.No more distance.  
3/ Who is the OTHER?
be it in Greece, in Australia, in India, wherever we have to deal with a local division of the world -SANGHA, some people think there is an "other". This is, simply not Sahaj, it goes against the work this Avatar who was Shri Mataji dedicated Her Lifetime to, and it displeases the Goddess. 
4/ If we were taught that this brain is limited, then, why carry on, instead of sitting down and finding out a solution? Let's ask our "in-chàrge"... 
5/ Unless, let's consider this, that the reason is, somehow, because... these issues have nothing to do 
with the spirit, 
advaita, 
and meditation.
