Normalcy Bias
06-05-2011
It was the month of the Egyptian revolution. The entire world was fixated on this unprecedented people’s movement. It was not much of a surprise for those who have been following Guruji’s messages on how the years towards the New Age will unfold. He had augured two years back that people will revolt against corrupt systems. While this topic dominated the session many others were also touched upon. The thick foliage which lovingly shelters the amphitheatre at Antar-manasa from the Sun had seasonally shed almost all of its green wealth leaving everyone sultry. However, under the cooling spell of the energies Guruji carries the Sun’s heat became manageable. The very first question was about Egypt. “Guruji, with what has happened in Egypt it feels as if it was a personal victory. People the world over seemed to back the demonstrators on the streets. We usually understand that all the corrupt systems will be replaced by new Divine systems, will this be the case with Egypt as well?” “The Divine systems will happen to the entire world much later,” Guruji clarified, “all that we have been talking about – surfacing, uprising, people’s voice, etc. has come true. And the best part is that this revolution had no single leader and the violence was not beyond control. I was watching TV News till late in the night to follow-up on the happenings. What has happened is really amazing. “And yes, it feels like our victory because every good human being wants evil to be wiped out from this world.” Ms. Apoorva brought to fore what Guruji had mentioned earlier, “Last time you told us that the uprising in Egypt is happening because a part of the energies that are stored in the Giza pyramids has been released. So is there a connection between the photon belt and energies in the pyramids?” Guruji: “Not directly. We are in the field of the photon belt energies, no doubt, but this uprising is directly because of the energies we released from the pyramids. A follow-up question was asked by Mr. Narasimha Murthy. He asked when a small amount of ancient energy stored in the Giza pyramid can cause such a huge transformation, will it not help to release more. Giving the analogy of medicines which can only be taken in right doses Guruji said, “It is difficult to withstand more energy. The energies were stored in the pyramids for seven thousand years. Even now there are a lot of energies stored there, but these will be released at the right time.” There were a few questions based on the book ‘Preparing for 2012’. First was regarding the series of shifts as foretold by the Mayans and whether Egypt is the epicenter of the next shift? “Egypt is not the epicenter but is a beginning one can say. The shifts will happen in the consciousness of human beings; there will be successive shifts in their thinking. For example in the coming elections people will vote more sensibly. People at large want changes for the better; in their hearts millions wanted the Egyptian revolution to succeed and it did. Though not immediate there will be many shifts” Guruji explained. The second question was - “In the book it is mentioned that the Mayans came from a different world. Other sources say that they came from the clan of Mayasura. Is it so?” “No it isn’t. They are very highly evolved beings or race from a different world; so much so that they are watching our world and the quality of its reaction to the events around 2012.” “Guruji, I also read in the book ‘The Bringers of the Dawn’ about the Pleiadians and beings from the Andromeda Galaxy. Are they on our earth in large numbers?” “They are here but not in huge numbers. But more will come and join us. Even before 2012 December, they will be here with us.” Imagine alien races landing on our earth and helping us in our ordeals. Sounds like fiction? Well in 1980, a meditator had received a Message from the Rishis and Guruji had got the two-page content printed as a pamphlet. Towards the end of the Message it is mentioned – ‘People from outer space will land on earth and impart their knowledge to us. The knowledge thus acquired will help us materially and spiritually.’ For those who think that seeing is the only way of believing probably should watch an extensive TV series called ‘Ancient Aliens’ which was broadcast in the US on History Channel. The DVD can be purchased from the History Channel website. While I cannot vouch for all that is shown in the DVD, archeological evidence proves that we have been and are being visited and assisted by other worldly advanced beings. Our truths are naturally coloured by our perceptions and pre-conceived notions; after all we re-create the world after seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching the world through our personal faculties. Mr. Nikhil wanted to know more about the Mayans and whether they were from Satya Loka or if they were Rishis from some other origin? “They need not be Rishis but they are highly evolved beings. We don’t know from which Loka they are from but they are certainly from a higher earth.” On a different note Ms. Keerthi narrated an incident proving the impact of practising Oneness. It seemed like a digression but it was not. “Guruji, once my daughter Manasi had pain in her ankle and she kept on complaining about it. My husband thought to himself that since he and Manasi are One at a deeper level, she should not have pain when he doesn’t. In a minute her pain vanished. This sounds incredible.” “It is. We are yet to understand the benefits of experiencing Oneness. Maybe the pain was transmuted and he went through it. Many people from different nations prayed for the Egyptians, they wanted the ruling regime to step down and it worked. Oneness works in many ways. Everywhere people are strongly resenting corruption and scams, that is why they are surfacing. Henceforth wrongdoers cannot get away from the consequences of their actions.” Since this informal meeting many incidents have happened at the global and national levels which showcase the impact of the energies flooding the earth now. There is a catharsis happening at all levels starting from the individual level. And yet we are free to give in to the human tendency of normalcy bias. Here’s a description of normalcy bias: The normalcy bias refers to an extreme mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It makes people think that everything will always be normal. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and also its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of the government to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred that it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation. Coming back to the discussion, Mr. Roland Pfeffinger, visiting Postal Guidance student from Italy had a question to ask. “When communication networks fail, will those capable of telepathy be able to communicate with the ones who are not trained in telepathy?” “When the Divine Systems replace the old systems, everyone will be able to communicate telepathically, even with those who are not used to it. This is what I believe will happen” Guruji answered. “My next question is about the Photon Belt. The Solar system will be entering the Photon Belt in December 2012, so how is it that only the earth will enter in May 2011?” “Yes, this is by special Grace. Right now we are just at the periphery. When we completely enter into it, we will get more and stronger energies. Many drastic changes happen due to the Photon Belt energies. It is more impactful than the Solar flares, Galactic alignment, etc.” Around last year Guruji had mentioned that we should mentally reject negativity, corruption, terrorism and other social ills. The collective thought force of rejection itself will act on the perpetrators of negativity. The results are for all to see. Part two of this discussion will be in the next article
