Jesus Christ: god can only be reached through him… Is it
correct to say that?
Catch the express or the super fast bullet train. If we are able
to reach our goal the purpose is served. Talk of Jesus Christ,
Mahavira, Gautama Buddha or Prophet Mohammed… all reached the
goal they had established in their life. The goal of all
(including Jesus Christ) was the same… only the paths were
different.
Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed…
all wanted to have one-to-one interaction with God the Almighty.
All four of them succeeded in their life. If Jesus Christ were
to say that God can be reached through him (he is not incorrect)
for any enlightened Soul can guide the humanity to its
logistical end.
Life was made like that by God the Almighty. The Jesus Christ
has been considered in Christianity as the son of God the
Almighty. The teachings of Jesus Christ can also not be
considered wrong but there is all possibility that the
interpretation of the teachings of Jesus Christ may have been
wrongly monitored by people with vested interests.
Such wrong interpretations exist in every religion or Dharma.
The society at present thinks and interprets everything in terms
of materialistic gains. How can then be the teachings of Jesus
Christ remain untouched by impurities?
The so called statement by Jesus Christ that one can reach god
only through him is a misnomer. No enlightened Soul can utter
such words. It is a complete disregard of the teachings of Jesus
Christ. It is upon the masses in general to assess whom to trust
in the present materialistic trend existing in the society. A
blind faith in the Vatican teachings can totally misguide the
humanity towards a catastrophic end.
Even though the interpretation of the teachings of Jesus Christ
by the Vatican carry absolute weight age for most Catholics
around the world but it need not be the absolute truth as was
administered and monitored by Jesus Christ himself. The Vatican
interpretations can be based on absolutely wrong footing.
Let me give an example-
Sometimes back it was announced in most of the newspapers around
the world that John Pope Paul (considered a direct
representative of Jesus Christ on Mother Earth) had arranged for
a team of renowned astronomers and quite a number of powerful
telescopes with the hope that God could be located in the
universe perchance. The poor John Pope Paul failed to realize
that the basic building block of the whole Cosmos is atoms and
molecules. God the Almighty cannot have existence in the form of
a human being… it has to be a source of energy… the might of
which can not be perceived with the limitations of the senses
and the mind.
What an awful waste of money and intelligence… none in the
Catholic world retaliated. What does this prove…? Does this
confirm the blind faith of the masses in the Vatican? Such a
blind faith in the Vatican is absolutely wrong for it leads the
society towards wrong conclusions! If Jesus Christ had been
alive today… he would have outright rejected the actions of
the Vatican.
We are intelligent human beings and we need to introspect upon
everything said or interpreted to us. We have science to support
us whenever the need arises. It is a different matter that
everything in the field of spirituality cannot be interpreted in
terms of science for most things in the spiritual field are
taken care of by faith alone (faith in the existence and system
of God). I again confirm that it is only the absolute faith in
the system of God that can lead us towards the eternal light…
nothing else!
Whatever Jesus Christ may have said at any stage of life would
have been absolutely correct… only the interpretations of his
sayings and teachings are likely to be interpreted wrongly based
on the vested interests many people possess. Furthermore, to be
able to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ one need not become
a Christian. Similarly as to follow the dictates of Lord Krishna
one need not be a Hindu. All teachings are required to be
followed in the right spirit of the sacred scriptures.
Every enlightened teacher like Jesus Christ would always want to
emphasize that it is in the interest of the masses that their
teachings be followed in the right spirit for one (Jesus Christ)
who has already covered the journey knows the path! Swami
Vivekananda… the famous disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa
knew very well that under the guidance of his master he can
become enlightened in this very life. It was up to Swami
Vivekananda entirely whether or not to follow the teachings of
sage Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa in order to realize God in his
lifetime.
Whether we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ or Gautama
Buddha is immaterial. The sole purpose of the journey of life of
a human being is always reaching the end of the journey and this
goal can only be achieved by following the dictates of an
enlightened master alone (like Jesus Christ). It is very
important! The fact written in the Bible that “God can only be
reached through Jesus Christ” confirms this.
People, those who have pain in their backs should be careful in choosing the type of adjustable bed and mattress for sleeping on. There are a number of options to adjust these beds to different positions, this is why the name is “adjustable” bed. These beds are also known as Semi-Fowler beds,and can be operated manually as well as electrically. Patients will get their ultimate comfort by using these adjustable beds. These adjustable beds also come with luxury foam mattresses.
Functioning of Adjustable Beds
Sleeping on these adjustable beds may be more comfortable for the patients with different types of back problems, as the bed is slightly inclined to an angle of 30 to 45 degrees. In this case with the help of adjustable beds, the upper part of the body is positioned higher than the lower part when sitting in a recliner. There is also some support under the knee which helps the knee to bend at a slight angle. With the help of this combination (i.e. the upper part of the body inclined at some angle and the support at the knee) helps a lot in relieving the stress off the lower back. This position of the bed provides support to the curves of the spine and thus the entire body feels to be relieved.
There are also different luxury foam mattresses for these adjustable beds. A Split-top foam mattress is one such type of luxury foam mattresses for adjustable beds, which allow people to adjust the head and feet according to the ultimate comfort of sleeping, independent of their sleep partner. Nowadays there are also different electronically controlled adjustable beds available in the market, with the help of advanced technology and precision engineering. These types of electronic beds come with full range of relaxing positions i.e. it allows the patients to position the bed easily in different position while reading, watching television, talking on phone and relaxing, which relieves their muscle strain. Patients can even control the adjustments of the bed with the help of remote controls.
Benefits of adjustable beds
There are lots of benefits of using adjustable beds. Adjustable beds provide help not only to the patients but also to anyone who feels more comfortable in relaxing in an inclined position or while sitting on a recliner with his feet up rather than lying on an ordinary flat mattress. People, those who have Degenerative spondylolisthesis, Osteoarthritis and Spinal stenosis, for them sleeping in a reclining position can make it easier to sleep comfortably all through the night.
If the patient feels that his or her night’s rest is being hampered by sleeping on an ordinary flat mattress and feels better to relax in a recliner that gives the ultimate comfort to the patient, then it is very important to consider the option of an adjustable bed. There are different types of bed or mattress’s that work for all patients with back problems.
The patient’s own choice of sleeping comfort helps in determining which type of bed or mattress will be the best and will relieve the pain or stiffness in the lower backbone.

Why do so many golfers hit a shot and immediately realize they messed up?
There are two parts to a golf shot.
Part one is planning.
In order to send the ball towards the target on the golf course, all of the variables that Mother Nature has given us have to be considered and compensated for. This is what makes every golf shot unique.
The lie, the wind, obstacles, temperature, hazards, your personality, and your ability must all be considered before you ever swing the club.
…But it’s not that simple.
The planning phase of the shot must be complete, and the final decision must be without any doubt before moving on.
If there is any doubt about the shot you have chosen when you stand over the ball your mind will be distracted and possibly try to form another shot in mid-swing. That spells disaster.
Once a shot and a target are clearly decided upon, it is time for the swing. The swing has two parts; the preshot routine and the swing itself.
The preshot routine is where you consider any small changes that must be made to your basic swing to make the desired shot based on the conditions.
Again these changes must be decided upon without doubt.
Once the changes have been decided upon, it’s a good idea to make a practice swing or two to program the feel of the swing into your mind and to eliminate doubt about it.
For example: when I have to draw a shot, I have a tendency to swing to flat and not finish my backswing. During my practice swings I first pre-program my swing plane into my swing picture and on the second practice swing I add the full turn of the lower back. I might make a third practice swing to reinforce my changes.
Now it’s time to swing the club. At this point you can have no further conscious thoughts. Just step up and swing just as you’ve pictured it.
The problem is that you cannot just shut the brain down.
Whether you like it or not the brain will function and the brain will look for stimulus…unless you keep it occupied.
This is where the golf psychologists jump into the scene. As I have said before, Psychology is the study of our thoughts, accept….
We don’t want to think during the golf swing.
Do you think golf psychology can help you here? I don’t think so.
That is why I prefer to call this part of the game the mental game instead of using the word psychology.
The trick is to occupy the mind during the golf swing so that it doesn’t start thinking and ruin your shot.
To explain my method, let me reiterate an example from a previous chapter.
Exercise:
Walk into a room that you are not completely familiar with. Take a look around for a few seconds and have someone turn out the lights so that the room is completely dark. Try to navigate your way through the room until you are unsure and stop.
Question: What happened in your mind to cause you to stop?
Answer: Doubt about your surroundings! So… where did the doubt come from?
To answer that question you must understand why you were able to navigate any of the room at all. You remembered some of the room because you took a mental picture of your surroundings. You only stop when the picture isn’t clear.
Here’s the principle. For every physical action we take, the mind makes pictures for us to follow. When we walk, we constantly take pictures of our surroundings. When the pictures fade, we take new ones. Ever trip on something? What do you say? I didn’t see that!
Since the mind likes pictures so much, we will give it pictures!
During your swing pre-shot routine, put your swing and the intended shot into pictures. Picture yourself making the swing of your favorite PGA golfer. Try to feel the tempo of the swing. Imagine what has to happen at impact to make the golf ball take its intended path. Imagine the ball jumping off of the club face at impact.
All that is left is to step up to the ball in a balanced setup and run the tape in your head. If your pictures are vivid, your body will do as it has been programmed.
Although your eyes are closed at impact, your mind will stay with the ball waiting for the picture of impact that you programmed to be completed.
Using visualization, are you thinking about swing mechanics or the possible results of the shot? No, you’re just playing a video of the swing. The pictures you create can easily keep your mind quiet during the swing. Think about it. We sit down to read a book, but after an hour or so, if the book isn’t real exciting, we need a break. If it’s a book we like, we can read longer.
Think about the last book that captured your attention. Do you remember how vividly you pictured what was happening while you were reading? It’s not the book, it’s the pictures we create while reading the book that keeps us involved.
This is why we can sit down and watch a two-hour movie straight through while holding back a bathroom break to the point of discomfort. The mind becomes thoroughly involved when the pictures are great.
Do you still remember those great shots you’ve hit in the past? I know that I can recall some so vividly that I can feel which way the wind was blowing against my face when I replay them in my mind.
This is not something you can go right out and do. It takes training. Awareness training, because you picture things all of the time. Most people just take it for granted, just like they do with balance.
Start to take notice of the pictures you take when you do things. Be more aware of the things you notice and don’t notice around you. Have
you ever searched for something only to find it right in front of you? When that happened, was it because the picture you had in your mind of what you were looking for wasn’t the same as the real thing?
I’ve given up looking for things, let go of the picture, and realized shortly thereafter that what I was looking for was in a different package than I expected. I looked directly at it while looking for it in a different package and only noticed it when I let go of the picture in my head.
Why do we hit the ball in the lake when we tell ourselves not to? “Not the lake” doesn’t create a picture but the lake does! Unless we choose an exact target and picture it in our mind, the ball will be directed
to the lake.
What happens when we tell ourselves to keep our eye on the ball. The eyes get the directive but the brain moves on to other things. It looks for other pictures. If it doesn’t have any new pictures, it makes it’s own. They are called dreams or daydreams. Ever hit a shot and wonder where your mind was when it happened?
Since the brain is constantly looking for stimulus, give it the stimulus that will help you achieve your task. Take control.
Practice this routine on the driving range and I’ll bet it takes a lot longer to hit those golf balls!
