The self talk of hinduism

  • Describe ways in which you feel like Arjuna.

when i’m doing my own thing and my mom stops me and tells me she wants me to clean up the room. i don’t want to but i do it any ways because it is my duty. like Arjuna killing her friends i didnt want to clean up but i did it because it was my duty.

  • How could you specifically apply the message of the Bhagavad Gita?

I didn’t want to do my dharma but i did and when it was done i was glad that i did it because the room looked nice. the Bhagavad Gita says that i will receive good karma for doing my duty

  • How would the ancient Indian perspective of the Bhagavad Gita be VERY different than the 21st Century American perspective of doing one’s duty?

They believe in reincarnation and a popular phrase in the USA or 21st century is YOLO. so they definitely don’t believe in this.

 

  • Now, venture back to ancient India. Think of a way the Bhagavad Gita could be used as a tool of oppression?

Only religious scholars could read this so they could use it against the poor people to get them to do what they want. tell them that it says their dharma is something it isnt.

Feng Shui your room

When i Feng Shui my room…

i cleaned it up so that the chi could flow through my room. i picked everything up off of the floor and removed the chair that i had sitting in the middle of my room and put it under my desk. I also cleaned up my desk to make things a bit neater. I have lots of clue in my room that represents relaxation and water.

After feng shui my room it feels much neater and the energy flows through my room much better and i dont trip over everything when i try to walk through it.

This is before (and i forgot to take an after picture, ill upload one tonight!)

Taoism walk

On the walk…

  1. the most powerful sensation on the walk was the peacefulness of the outdoors
  2. The path behind the school is actually very pretty with lots of cool things all around it. it is worth taking the time to look at.
  3. I heard the wind blowing through the trees and the birds chirping off in the distance
  4. i smelled the cool air, it smelled like autumn.
  5. i was thinking about how cold it was outside.
  6. i felt cold and calm outside.
  7. this is compared to Taoism because it has a lot to do with harmony with nature and we were experiencing the harmony in nature.

these flowers were very pretty and yellow.
