In “A Few Good Men”, a 1992 film by Rob Reiner, Base Commander Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson) tells Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) in a defining moment of the film: “You can’t handle the

 2/In the film the truth ultimately prevails. Jessup confesses he ordered the “code red” and is arrested while Dawson and Downey are acquitted of the charges of murdering Santiago. However truth often doesn’t win the day on the great stage of life on which we are but the actors.
3/In a material and political world, truth can become the enemy of those in power. The truth about suffering led Siddhartha Gautama to leave his palace and princely inheritance to become the Buddha. The truth about Jesus Christ led to his crucifixion.

4/There is the truth about reality, and there is propaganda designed to keep people from knowing the truth. It’s the quest of the truth seeker to determine which is which.
5/“Shakespeare stated and I quote,”The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be the fool” the natural tendency of humans is not to face themselves and not to see who they really are- but knowing who you are gives you the strength to manage your weakness.””
6/In the journey of life I’ve stumbled, tripped and fallen only to find myself taking to the path of the truth seeker which helps me understand life on a deeper level as well as myself. Arriving to truth also brings lies, deceit & falsehood into clarity.

12/The truth is that Music Clubs in US schools would be hard pressed to match the exuberance these North Korean high school students have in learning music, their instruments and singing.

13/The material world is a twisted reflection of the spiritual world. In an ideal justice system wrongdoing and wrongdoers are nailed to a cross.

[“nail to a cross

nail (one) to a cross

To punish, berate, or hurt one in a very severe fashion for a wrongdoing or transgression”]
14/Yet we live in a political world where the truth itself gets nailed to a cross when it gets in the way of the powerful maintaining their grip on power. A US military industrial complex that profits from war denies millions of people from the peace they deserve, long overdue.
15/Power attempts to keep the people ignorant of the truth by peddling whatever false narratives serve to forward their political agendas, which devolves into propaganda the people consume thru MSM or government/state controlled media.
16/It makes you wonder about the state of affairs b/t the US and North Korea: Are we the “good guys” and they the “bad guys”? Or is it the other way around? DPRK, a “shrimp among whales”, needs nuclear deterrence just to survive, yet like a bully the superpower US demands Kim
17/Jong Un fully denuclearize. How would President Biden react if Russia or China demanded we give them our nuclear stockpile? The DPRK Music Club students👆& all North Korean students, parents, teachers & workers feel safer b/c KJU has built up their defense against US! The US!
18/The country that makes life miserable for North Koreans thru sanctions, pressure policy and unfair demands. The US signed an Armistice meant to end the War and bring peace to all Koreans, North and South. North Koreans still want peace and Americans won’t give it. So are “we”
19/the “good guys”? Maybe at this stage, in 2021, the North Koreans - a nuclear underdog beset by an unruly US superpower acting more like a Goliath - are the “good guys”.

What is the truth?

As a truth seeker I cant draw conclusions for you I might have drawn for myself. I will
20/tho encourage one to be a truth seeker. However that could run afoul w/ the material & political powers that be who wish to suppress the truth and replace it instead w/ a false narrative.

When I see these North Koreans 👇celebrating New Year’s Eve 2020

Amongst my absolute favourite musicians of all time, one name that is certainly near the top is of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sahab. I don’t know if any such data exists, but I am pretty sure he would also be among the most widely sold international artists in India. (1/43)

This is a thread about Nusrat sahab’s connections with India - his first performance here, songs blatantly copied from his compositions, his non-film albums done here, and also his work in Bollywood. So buckle up, coz this is gonna be very very loooong. (2/43)

The story starts in 1979, when a certain legend by the name of Raj Kapoor was invited to a Qawwali show in Birmingham, and heard Nusrat sahab performing there. So impressed by his music was Kapoor sahab, that he made up his mind to invite Nusrat sahab to India. (3/43)

Soon after, in early 1980, Rishi Kapoor was getting married to Neetu Singh, and Raj Kapoor promptly invited Nusrat sahab to perform at one of the sangeet ceremonies. The invitation actually was sent through Pakistani actor Mohammad Ali, a mutual contact of the two. (4/43)

Nusrat sahab accepted the invite, and was apparently excited with the prospect of also visiting Ajmer Sharif. His performance at the sangeet was attended by the who’s who of Indian film and music at the time, and he is said to have performed for hours through the night. (5/43)

#Avadhūtagītā #SrimadBhagwatham #Dattātrēyanuḍi

In Srimad Bhagwatham, there is a discussion between Sri Krishna & Uddhava about Brahma Jnana.

In this context, a very famous aspect called Avadhūta Gītā / Dattātrēya Nuḍi is described.

Thread below

PC: Google

1/


Personal anecdote:

This is my 5th attempt in last 6 months to write a thread. I hope I am successful in completing this endeavor. Along with Yama Geetha, these are some of the most wonderful philosophies captured in Srimad Bhagwatham.

2/

Context:

Krishna and Uddhava would be having a discussion, the basis of which would be to impart the Brahma Jnana to Uddhava

During one such discussion, Krishna describes Anumana and Pratyaksha through a story, which is the Avadhūta Gītā

3/

As described by Krishna, this incident traverses back in time to his ancestor Yadu (from whom Yadavas originated).

Yadu would be roaming the earth and comes across a young man, barely clad but completely fearless. He had a serene smile on his face

4/

Yadu recognised him as the Avadhuta , one who has found inner peace and whose face is a sea of tranquility. Yadu requests to know the path through which the enlightened man reached this state.

There was a newsweek article that was posted in multiple telegram groups (Wethemedia and 432hrtz), Bruno made a gab posts about Thomas Wictor analysis on

Thread:
I suggest u read it yourself with fresh look and make your own search (both article and brunos posts of Thomas Wictor)

Article was from 18 march 2020

I tried to look at it and got on some interesting findings

In no way i’m suggesting that it is “right” or wrong path, but for me it was interesting. As always there perhaps multiple layers to it and different paths

So..where did i go with it?

Inside an article i found a specific line that somehow got my and not only mine attention


Tried to use maximum autism and go on a rabbithole journey with it

Again...i might go wrong way on this (as many other times i tried research such cryptic stuff and drops), but still interdasting

1/ @fortelabs @nathanbarry Your recent YouTube interview https://t.co/hZlBpxKYcE is one of the best and most useful interviews/conversations of the last 12 months - truly excellent. I tried to leave this as a comment on YouTube but failed, so here it is as a Tweet.

2/ The exchange at minute 57 - 59 was fascinating and I agree with Nathan‘s take on this. I am an expert in my field but a digital idiot and with little teaching experience.

3/ I have been fascinated by the concept of teaching what I know and promised myself to bootstrap my teaching business when I started at a friend‘s (@kerfrie) suggestion in 2019.

4/ I began with next to zero email list (real opt ins) but 30 years of business experience and a healthy network of personal connections.

5/ I conducted two pilots (Zoom with presentations over 10 clinics plus 4 Q&A sessions) and charged a 50% discount on my target price of $2,850 per student for them and managed to recruit 7 and 13 students respectively.

STORY OF PURANAS AND SUB PURANA (उप पुराण).

We have already gone through the series on importance & characteristics of all the eighteen Purans. We also know that originally there were hundred crore shlokas but were divided by Vyas in each Kalp and was compiled as eighteen Purans


for the common people to understand it properly and now their total is about four lakhs.

In Brahm Puran, Brahma preached this to Marichi. So this Puran of ten thousand shlokas is called Brahm Puran.

In Padma Puran, the base of the story is the appearance of Brahma on a lotus(Padm) from Vishnu' s navel.This has fifty five thousand shlokas.

Vishnu Puran is primarily based in Varah kalp. This book is on Vishnu and this book has twenty three thousand shlokas.

Vaayu Puran is written in Shwet Kalp and has twenty four thousand shlokas. Here Vayudev preaches about Dharma.

In Bhagwat Puran, which is written with the base of Gayatri mantra describes Dharma extensively. It has 18000 shlokas. It also mentions the story of Vritrasur.

In Narad Puran, which has twenty five thousand shlokas, is a sermon on Dharma by Narad based in Brihad Kalp.

Markandeya Puran has nine thousand shlokas and here it is through the birds that Dharma is described.

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)


The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)
