From Zero to Infinity and Back- A full Circle

In order to find some love, partnership, companionship, and support, as any other young single divorcee, my search for a loving partner began on dating websites. At first in line with my spiritual beliefs of the Eastern tradition of Yoga and Meditation like DharmaMatch.com. I have been a practitioner of Yoga and meditation since my thirties, which I am blessed to have inherited from my ancestry. Going to Kirtans and meditation, Satsangs with my grandmother and living in a family with Yoga traditions, my father being a Raja Yoga practitioner, even as a child, living in Yoga came naturally to me.

At these dating websites I met some sociopaths, addicts, alcoholics and also some decent men sometimes in disharmonious timings in this dating journey. After being stolen from, surviving domestic violence, and also having some great learning dating adventures, I have come to arrive in this place. I am now thriving, being in oneness, in Yoga. This writing and art memoir are a result of this journey. I am sharing my story in the form of arts and writings inspired by the teachings of Vedanta and Buddhist teachings and values.

My abstract art is in its spontaneous presence, in the raw, elemental, primal and childlike innocence, with awe and wonder, a curious part of me. I do hope to awaken a presence in you that resonates this blissful state that I experienced while working on the art and poetry book project.

Futurecide

Every civilization in history has faced moments of overwhelming existential crises, and they all eventually collapsed. Was this failure inherent in the evolution of civilization, something within the human species, or a combination of both? More importantly, was it predictable and unavoidable? Most civilizations believed they had a special relationship with the divine and were beyond the laws of nature. Our current economic civilization is now global and interdependent. Today’s economy is responsible for the most rapid mass extinction in Earth’s history. We face imminent catastrophic climate change and environmental disruption, yet the same sense of exceptionalism and hubris clouds humanity’s judgement and ability to act rationally.

Environmental disruption is making the planet uninhabitable. No economy can consume its way out of scarcity. This law of nature conflicts with many longstanding economic theories. Sheltered and self-absorbed elitists promote lies and prey on humanity’s most vulnerable instincts of pecking order, conformity, and obedience to authority. These primal instincts may be maladapted to civilization in its current form. Today’s elitists are choosing mass extinction in a false belief in their own invincibility. To survive, humanity can no longer follow delusional leaders to self-destruction.

In non-technical language, the author explores common phases in the development of past civilizations, and the critical junctures and decisions that made collapse inevitable. He investigates the linkages and contradictions between human social behavior, the economy, and the environment. In the closing pages, he identifies a clear path to redemption.
