“Becoming aware of our inner man and woman means to discover the roots and creative potential of both the male and female aspect within ourselves. Becoming aware of the inner man and woman means to understand that they have different visions of life. It means to understand that they have different perspectives and views of life. The inner man and woman are our two wings of love and freedom. Through awareness, acceptance and understanding, we can allow our two wings to develop in a deep and natural harmony. In the world today, a one-sided development of the male side leads to destructivity. A one-sided development of the male side leads to ego, struggle, exhaustion and a separation from life. A one-sided development of the female side leads to passivity and dependence.”
Swami Dhyan Giten, Presence - Working from Within. The Psychology of Being

Swami Dhyan Giten
“The most important thing that is happening in the world right now is the emerging of the new man.

Since the monkeys, man has remained the same, but a great revolution is on it's way. When monkeys became man, it created the mind. 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.

The U.S. has over thrown the democratically elected government in Ukraine in an secret operation by the CIA, the world's largest terrorist organization, and replaced it with a fascistic regime, a marionette for the U.S.

The war industrial complex is now desperately trying to promote the third war by demonizing, lying and blaming Russia. We see the same aggression and lies from the U.S. that we have seen before against Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Venezuela and Iran.
President Eisenhower warned against the war industrial complex, which he considered the largest threat to democracy. President John F. Kennedy also warned against a "secret conspiracy" against democracy. The war industrial complex consists of the international banks, oil companies, war industry, democratically elected politicians, conservative think tanks, international mainstream media and global companies, who make profits from human suffering and wars.

The European governments and the mainstream media also cooperate with the war industrial complex to bring the world into disaster.

But this time it will not work as the time for wars is over, and peace loving people and people who represent the new man are working against this kind of aggression.”

“Love has a power, which is different from the power of violence, aggression and destruction. We know the power of violence and aggression. The human history is full of people like Adolf Hitler, Alexander the Great
and Josef Stalin, who just had the power of violence and destruction.
This kind of power is against God, it is against existence. These people are narcissistic and psychopathic, who know only how to be destructive and destroy. No intelligence is needed to be destructive, while intelligence is
needed to be creative. The basic problem with humanity is that people do not grow in awareness. It seems like humanity is just repeating the same behavior and do not learn from precious experiences.
There is another power, which creates. This power can only be done by people, who experience love, truth, awareness and beauty. To be creative needs intelligence. To be creative is to be part of God. It means to be part of the power of love. The man who knows the power of love is always creative.
Then love, joy and creativity become our whole life.”

“Man lives in a paradox. It is very easy to dream about love, peace and God, while man at the same time prepares for war, violence and destructivity. Man talks about peace and at the same time invents atom bombs. In fact, even in the name of peace, man is ready to go to war. All countries call their war  ministries  "defence ministries", so one can wonder who is really starting wars. 
A man of peace has to go through an inner transformation. Only then the dream of being a man of peace becomes a reality. He has to transformhis violence into love. Until this happens he has not grown up. Until then he will create destruction in the world. Meditation is the process to grow up. Meditation is the process to become a man of peace. 
All that is violent, masculine and destructive is praised and admired in the world, because we have created a violent and ugly world.  We have created a society, which is rooted in our animal heritage.
The philosopher Bertrand Russel was one asked what his opinion about civilization was. He said: "It is a good idea. Somebody has to practice it." The civilization has not happened yet. Man lives in an uncivilized way, which is why aggressiveness, violence and war are praised. We have to create a new world, a new society, which is rooted in qualities of love and awareness, rather than violence and war. 
The man of meditation will live with people, who want to cling to the past and who are the majority of people, but that is the way of being a pioneer.”

“The situation of the younger generation all over the world is anger. Everybody is angry; angry at society, angry at God, angry at existence and angry at everything. For the  first time man has shown his anger towards reality, existence. It is  the very  atmosphere  today. The situation of the younger rgeneration is a mirror of the older generation. 
But you cannot live a creative life through  anger. Then life becomes destructive. And before destroying anything, you have to destroy yourself. And people are destructive in every possible way. 
All over the world there is chaos, anarchy and destructivity. It has become symbolic of being young to be an anarchist and to create chaos. If there is a creative purpose behind destruction, if you are doing it to create something, then it is creative and beautiful. But if the destruction becomea goal in itself, then it becomes destruction for destruction's sake. 
Meditation is the way to become a loving and creative being. It is the opposite of being angry and destructive. People are angry, because their life is unfulfilled. Life is not giving them anything, and people do not longer believe in heaven beyond death. They want heaven right now. But it is not a question of asking for heaven, you have to create heaven.
It depends on how you live. It depends on your lifestyle. Meditation means love is going to be your lifestyle. It means that creativity is going to be your lifestyle, And sharing whatsoever you have will make many flowers blossom in your being. Share your life, share what you have, that is what love is.  Share yourself, share your creativity, and share  your love. 
Instead of anger, create love. When love goes sour, it becomes anger. When you share your love, you will see that life is an immense gift. And then there is gratitude towards life. And when one'w heart is full of joy, gratitude and creativity one is religious. ”

“The sincere seeker of truth has to learn to surpass the whole idea of war. The seeker of truth has to learn love and compassion.
He has to be a lover, not a warrior. The whole human history has been lived according to the idea rooted in war, violence, hate, anger and destructiveness.
And during the whole human history the warrior has been worshipped as a hero. It is time to change this whole idea, because the world needs lovers, not warriors. The world no longer needs destructive weapons. The world no longer needs cunning, violent, unconscious and destructive people. The world needs people who can trust, and even if the conditions are not in favor of trusting, they are still not ready to drop their trust.
The we can create a new humanity, then we can create a new earth. We can create a paradise. We do not need to wait for heaven,
the paradise, after death. When you have failed in life, you are not going to succeed after death. If you succeed in life, you will succeed after death too. Only the body dies, but you remain the same, Your consciousness never dies.
And if the idea of war disappears with that will also politicians, nations, religions, races and all kinds of stupidities disappear.
The earth is one, and it needs to be one. We have made the earth divided, so that we create war. We are dividing humanity to fight.
We cannot live without war, fight and destructivity, because it has become our way of life. It has become a negative and destructive program in our mind.



For thousands of year, we have been programmed for war, fight

and destructivity. It is time for de-programming. The seeker of

truth has to learn d-programming. Then he can be free to live

according to his own love, light, joy, truth, freedom and

creativity.”

“Humanity is currently passing through one of the most significant times, because we are passing through tremendous transformation.
The old is dying and the new has to be given birth. The old will try in every way to go on living. The old always insists on keeping itself
alive - even if it cripples people. The old will try to manipulate and exploit people.
We need a totally different kind of man, who does not believe in war, fighting, anger,
hate and destructivity. We need a totally different man, who believes, in love, compassion and creativity. We need people who are not engaged in manufacturing new and more destructive weapons to kill people more effectively, but who are absorbed in being intelligent and creative.
The past belonged to the soldier and the future belongs to the conscious meditator. The soldier was respected in the past, because war is the business that humanity has been engaged in for three thousand years in modern times. Every reason was an excuse for a new war.



To go beyond the old ideas of war, fight, conflict and destructivity

is the only way that your life can be a joy. There is nothing heroic

about being a warrior. Destruction can never be heroic. only creativity

is beautiful. Just to write a beautiful poem is far better than to produce

the atom bomb.



We have to change our values, only then the conscious human being

is born. That is the beginning of many things that has to be done, which

we have been ignoring and denying up to now. This change may not be

possible for the whole of humanity right now, but it is possible for

individuals to slip out of the ugly and destructive past of humanity.



A little courage is needed, a little trust is needed and a little love

is needed, which is there in everybody.”

“Man needs peace, not war. Man needs love, not violence. We have been tortured enough with ideas of heroes, war, propaganda, hate, destruction and violence.
Science has given us enough destructive power and weapons that if we go living in accordance with the old destructive values then and ideals humanity is finished.
The future belongs to the new man, to the intelligent and creative people, not to the soldier. Only love can give us balance. Humanity has lived against love up to now, and that is why there is so much misery, hate, violence and destruction in the world. This is because humanity has lived in a destructive way up to now.
Now there are only two alternatives: either humanity changes or this is he end of humanity. The time for the old values and ideals are over. We have to live in accordance with a new life affirmative vision of life.”

“There are two kinds of people in the world.  The first kind is the creative and conscious people and the second kind is the destructive and unconscious. Great awareness is needed to be creative and conscious, while no awareness and consciousness is needed to be destructive. The creative people have attained inner awareness. 
The other kind of people are the violent and destructive people, who are the unhealthy, narcissistic and pathological people. These are the people who bring misery and human suffering to the world. They themselves are miserable and they create misery for others. 
Alexander the Great killed thousands of people, Joseph Stalin killed millions of people and Adolf Hitler is one of the greatest murders history has known.  The world would have been better without them. 
The creative and conscious people are a blessing to the world. Without them humanity would not have progressed at all. These people are the salt of the earth. Life has some meaning, joy, beauty and song, because of these people. People like Buddha, Jesus and Lao Tzu made themselves blissful, and spread the secret of being blissful in the world. They spread their light in the world. 
Meditation is the way to become blissful. Become blissful, because you can only give that which you have. You cannot give that which you do not have. Become a source of bliss and blessings to others. ”
