AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The other night I had a dream that my younger sibling -sister was dying 😱 and she said she did not want to die but her state was such that I told her it’s time to go, I got up heavy feelings, What does this mean?

Often names give us the clue or else the nature of our relationship with the person. Or the state of consciousness this person represented to you. In other words what that person means to us in terms of the intrinsic value. It is the part in you that corresponds and responds to the person who is dying is leaving you. And something in you wants to let it go but yet with a heavy heart perhaps.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Combine the three approaches. Step back from the blind identification with the surfaces of life a…

The counsellor didn’t help Alok da. lol. Modern day psychiatry / philosophy is all based on medication and drug’s. For them smoking and lsd is normal. Stress is normal. Emotions not. Sensitivity not. She prescribed pills for me. I guess turning to God / Maa is best. 🌼🙏🏻

Yes, that is how the extreme reductionist view works. Of course medicines have their own limited role when the mind enters a too chaotic or extreme phase. But it is not enough. And yes turning to the Divine Mother is always …
