Giten on The Society

SWAMI DHYAN GITEN
ON THE SOCIETY


“Despite 2000 years of evolution

��in modern times, we have still not

��managed to develop the

��intelligence to create a society

��that knows what love is. Our

��society is still not a civilization, it

��is still primitive and barbaric.”


- Swami Dhyan Giten









“The most important thing that

��is��happening in the world right

��now����is the emerging of the new

��man.
��


With the new man, a great

��revolution will bring the soul

in. Man will not just be a mind, a

��psychological being, he will be a

��spiritual being.
��



This new consciousness, this new

��being, is the most important

��thing, which is happening in the

��world today. But the old man will

be against the emerging of the

��new man, the old man will be

��against this new consciousness.
��



The new man is a matter of Life

��and��death, it is a question of the

��survival of the whole earth. It is

��matter of survival of

��consciousness, of survival of life

��itself.
��



The old man has become utterly

��destructive. The old man is

��preparing for a global suicide

��right now. Rather than allowing

��the new man, the old man would

��rather destroy the whole earth,

��destroying life itself.
��



The old destructive man is

��preparing right now for a third

��world��war. The global economical

��and political elite and the��war

��industrial complex in the U.S.,

��which runs the foreign policy of

��the U.S, is right now promoting

��for a third world��war.”


- Swami Dhyan Giten




“Wars are an outdated way to try

��to solve conflicts, which are

��unacceptable in the 21st century.



��Instead of trying to conquer

��yourself, wars are an unconscious

��way to try to conquer life. Wars��

are an unconscious way to try to

��conquer death, which is the basic

��fear in the West.”
��

- Swami Dhyan Giten





“Sweden is not one of the

��countries that will walk in the

��front line in developing the new

��man, the new consciousness for

the 21st century.
��
��
Sweden consists of separate

��minds that do not allow each

��other to grow, and whose focus

��are to mantain status quo, which

��creates a country without joy.”

- Swami Dhyan Giten

���There is a very simple

��relationship between increased

��socioeconomic rifts in the society

��and increased violence,

criminality, war, increased lack of

��trust between people, health

��problems and social exclusion

����� but it seems to be very difficult

��for people to understand this

��simple relationship.���

��� Swami Dhyan Giten

“The climate change is the

��greatest challenge for humanity.


The current climate change is an
��outer mirror of our inner
��consciousness.��
��
It is an outer��mirror of our

��attitude��to try to��conquer nature,

��instead��of being in��harmony with

��nature,��but in the��end the part

��can never��conquer��the whole.”

���It is not many things that modern psychology agrees upon, but all the different approaches of psychology agrees on one thing: that people in groups become more stupid. Individually people are more intelligent, because they have to take their own responsibility, but in a group they do not have to take the same responsibility.

The two basic power strategies to try to manipulate and gain control over another person are: silencing and attacking. Silencing means to not listen to, to exclude or ignore and not respect a person. Attack can both mean to attack a person directly or to try to discredit a person through lies, to ridicule a person or by spreading malicious rumours.

All organizations are more or less dysfunctional. In a dysfunctional group, the members of the group play three different roles: agressor, denier and victim. The agressor is the role that attack and ridicule people, the denier never knows what is going on, there is ���nobody at home���, and the victim is the resultat of these two roles.

It is always easier to follow a group without awareness, than to follow your own heart, to trust your own intelligence, love, truth, silence and creativity.���
