Why These Incredibly Stupid Positions In Kama Sutra?

In his post Sex Footiam has a photo of Khajuraho Temple. I noticed a strange peculiarity of one part of this bás-relief and watched the photo with great attention after it.

I've never thought about it, but have you ever asked the question: why many positions that we can see in the innumerous books about Kama-Sutra and similar editions are practically stupid? Well, the first example I have on this same photo.

Look at this part I cut from the photo from Footiam's post. If you watch it attentively you will agree with me: the figures are depicted upright, not horizontaly, I want to say, not in bed in other words.

All we here are adult persons, so I think you understand me: is it not crazy? Is it possible to have pleasure at least for one of the 4 characters of the scene, or to make babies in this position?

Now, do you want to have an answer?
Here it is. (I think it is very plausible even if I am not completely sure that it comes from there)
Vedas told: if you want to have a special reincarnation as your baby (manifestation of a Buddha or Bodhisattva etc), you have to make it in a special position. This position -every time specific- was suggested to the future parents in the temple, I think. This is the reason of "stupidities" we find in many "specialized" pictures.

My thoughts about it:
can you imagine how laughd the prist after he suggested something similar the position on the photo? At his place I would make everything to assist the execution...

A Special Mudra

One of my blogers-friends is Debasis from India.
Now he learns to make high quality photos and videos and presents them in Spymac trying to earn some money with them. Hope he is successful with this project.

I'm interested in buddhist meditations and mudras, you know. Debasis visited a buddhist shrine and made video and photos there. I found interesting the positions of Buddha in these photos -and the mudras too. The position on the first photo is "classic", but the the second photo is interesting. I've never seen this mudra, I think.






I wrote some posts about mudras in this blog, you can find them in categorie "Mudras"
Some time ago Footiam wrote a post about mudras too but I can't find this his post, have to ask him about it

The Law of Attraction In Action

One of my friends had a special uncle. He had a gift of the God to win every drawing he partecipated. At that time was this use: labor union in the fabrics organized drawings where the workers could win a TV or fridge or a trip for example. If this uncle partecipated on the drawing, he turned home with a TV or other things. Always. Any drawing he partecipated.

To finish the story of this uncle I have to say he never knew to use his Gift for something good. He was in a prison, was poor, was ill after prison... How these things came to him, so they went away.

Once I said to me that I knew 2 equally bad persons one after the other. I wanted to analyse the bad period of my life and noticed that ALL the bad persons I knew in that period were equal. They had similar characteristics, the circumstances of our meetings were equal ecc. And the results of these acquaintances were equal. And all the period of my life characterized of these persons was not only tragic for me, but had the same characteristics.

From other side, have you noticed this?, you have an aim sometimes, youdo everything you can to reach it -nothing to do. You analyse what you did, correct errors -nothing to do. You study the thing, change your attitude completely -the same result.
And you know a person that don't have this aim, does nothing special, doesn't move a finger -and has what you are trying to reach with so great efforts...

The Law Of Attraction...
I read today an article where was written about this law for wealth and for partners. It was said there: our lifes depends from our beliefs.

Turning back to that my black period. After I was only some passes from the death as a result of that, I left that group of persons, left the aim I has with them, began the new life practically. In that period I joined Bon-group of Italy too. My life changed, I began to heal slowly and after some months the circumstances changed completely.

What I think now about that circumstances.
I think, from my side I had the wrong aim. But. The wrong aim attracted in my life a wrong person (or maybe is right to say that person was just in the group I joined). The first. The other wrong persons were attracted to me till the first of them were among my acquaintances.
That bad person attracted similar bad persons in my life.
When that person left my world, other similar persons left it too.

What do you think about it?

5 Clever Advices To Change Bad Habits

Freud, I think, said that all our psychological problems go back to our mother. Mother or not mother, they surely have a long history. Many of us tryed to go back to that time -I know about "practices" when the healer conducts the patient even in his/her previous lives to find the source of the problem.

Well, save your money and don't go to the healer. Last researches affirm you can heal these habits in this actual moment. Because they are nothing else as automatisms and -as such- can be interrupt.

What to do?

1/ Recognize the fact that bad habit is a strong and steady and impulse.
2/ Notice impulses, how many times they present. Practically have a diary of this bad habit.
3/ When the bad habit presents? When you are bored? When you watch TV? Are in the car? Practically you have to understand if you are not concentrated in these moments.
4/ Try different techinques of relax and use them when you are in the situation when bad habit emerges.
5/ Begin to do something completely different in this moment. To caress your dog or cat for example.

The most important is awareness.

Meditation And World Creation By Chuang-Tse

this pic is from Wikipedia

About 2 weeks ago I learned from my friend about Zhuangzi (Chuang-tse), a Chinese philosopher from Taoism tradition, I think. My friend told me a quarter that in English has to be something like this:

It's easy to learn the Path, It's difficult not to speak about it. Learn and not speak -so you can reach natural. Learn and speak -so you will reach human. Persons in ancient times appealed to natural, not to human.

Well, if you know better translation, I'll be very happy to post it here.

So, I wanted to find more stories from Chuang-tse and found a splendid adopted to modernity translation in Russian of a fable about Phoenix and crow. I wanted to tell this story here too, because I like it very much, but I could not find it in English. If you want, you can translate it from this page in Russian with a translator you can find on the right here.

But I found a page with different translations from Chuang-tse in English and one of these stories touched me very much.

Hui Shi said to Zhuangzi, "I have a large tree, of the sort people call a shu tree. Its trunk is too gnarled for measuring lines to be applied to it, its branches are too twisted for use with compasses or T-squares. If you stood it on the road, no carpenter would pay any attention to it Now your talk is similarly vast but useless, people are unanimous in rejecting it."

Zhuangzi replied, "Haven't you ever seen a wildcat or a weasel? It crouches down to wait for something to pass, ready to pounce east or west, high or low, only to end by falling into a trap and dying in a net But then there is the yak. It is as big as a cloud hanging in the sky. It has an ability to be big, but hardly an ability to catch mice. Now you have a large tree but fret over its uselessness. Why not plant it in Nothing At All town or Vast Nothing wilds? Then you could roam about doing nothing by its side or sleep beneath it. Axes will never shorten its life and nothing w ill ever harm it. If you are of no use at all, who will make trouble for you?"

I think, the words I posted in bold are very interesting if we read them not letterally but from psychological side. As a meditation.

And here is the other quater I like too, interesting explanation of a deep phylosophical concept:

"No," Zhuangzi said, "when she first died how could I have escaped feeling the loss? Then I looked back to the beginning before she had life Not only before she had life but before she had form. Not only before she had form, but before she had vital energy. In this confused amorphous realm, something changed and vital energy appeared,- when the vital energy was changed, form appeared; with changes in form, life began. Now there is another change bringingdeath This is like the progression of the four seasons of spring and fall, winter and summer.

I think it's very clear, the understanding of the creation. Something what I think much in the last period.
