The Teen Bronco

The life of a teen … brings much in the revelation … of how our mind works … and by extension … the lessons of life. The kid is a great trooper … always the soldier of causes … and always ready to serve the will of re-generation … in the life … he's come to. His enthusiasm is legendary … and stops at nothing … except the positive expectation of a life of achievement. He views the road of the future ambition … in front of him … and commences to build the road-signs … of the journey he will take … in the life.

 

Its that which I experienced growing up … and I'm encountering this wonderful opportunity today … to put in perspective my plans for the life … and what I think I might have achieved. I'm quite certain that my perceptions … during my teen … were unconscious … bordering on the sub-conscious. Yet it affords a young man … incredible insight … and participation into the nature of the unconscious … and the way it appears … intuitive … pre-destined … or in contact with the mysterious forces of creation … to know our course … in life.

 

My teen seemed to be in contact with such forces … comprising what I came to discover later … as the tech of human existence … the bot of life's intrinsic design. Its not very different from the bot we encounter on the web … at various sites … that checks for copyright infringement … knows me from my google e-mail … and sometimes … I get the oddest sensation that my individual bot … is in contact … with the bots on the web … to guide me in my search for information. Gazooks!

 

But it appears to me … that my teen seemed to think so. That kid should have been fitted for a straight-jacket … but I won't let my quarrels with him … distract me from this narrative. He was what we sometimes refer to as a … cerebral type of fellow. He just knew … and I used to think he might have a horde of angels guiding him. He certainly seemed to think so … went about in a charmed way … and considered me too wobbly … too concerned about the details … and missing the woods for the trees.

 

But he turned out allright in the end … and has left me with the remnants of his experiences to pursue. There was one angel in particular whom I think was a mysterious lady … whose disposition was to see into the nature of all things … and bring him the precise thing to do in all situations. The lucky dog! But all he did was to preen himself on the attention … and didn't realize the significance of what he was experiencing.

 

The experience was like a ringside seat at the circus for me … and at a later date …  it was all offered to me to study the nature of the self.  I was referred to as … ' his father ' … so I assumed responsibility for the state we found ourselves in. I thought that was fine … and set about discerning … the different experiences we had encountered until I was about 32 years of age.

 

What I then set about to do … was to give a form to my discernment of the issues … which he himself had undertaken … like a white water ride down a mountain stream in spring. As a yoga … the practice of discernment is relatively new in Indic traditions. Prior to this … Indic siddha techniques … involved quietening the mind by meditation … in a remote mountain cave … and then letting that lady angel … create the guide at a regulated pace. These days … the yoga of discernment is like riding a bucking bull … while you are carrying out your daily activities in life.

 

Indic literature provides a grand tutorial … on the way Siva … meditated in the mountains … then observed the effects of his meditations on the plant and anima life around him … before climbing onto and riding the bull. In translation today that means … a period of severe depression … then relating to the natural environment around your home … and thereafter fighting the lady angel … for your right to find out for yourself … rather than have her tell you what to do. At this point … she turns into the fierce some form of Kali.

 

Discernment essentially refers to understanding … the cause and effect … of the events in our lives. Thereafter we relate that … to the conceptions we have created of the world and creation. Where necessary we add to these conceptions … that which we encounter. A lot of the time … the individual realizes that … past pronouncements … were handed down … God to devotee … and were primed for faith. This time around … it brings the past view … and exhorts the individual to relate it … to existing events in the world.

 

The issue of father and teen … becomes clear at this point. Human bias … in understanding the tech nature of the human bot … programs itself to mislead the bot … in the direction of fame and fortune … and a delusionary search for glory. Upon review … the father aspect realizes … the role the teen may have had in the wild goose chase. However in the role of father … the individual … brings a counsel … and guide to his teen … on the wisdom gleaned from experience … and social relations.

 

This is the essential criteria … in the yoga of discernment. Commencing from a state of being confused … the individual is persuaded … to take some time by himself … and discern the qualities of the father within. This he may do … in reference to role models he encounters in his activity. Thereafter … he is guided into corralling the excitability of the teen impulses … into the paddock of issues … and then to refine the nature of the wild in the broncos. An unbroken bronco is easy … a bronco wrongly broken is harder.
