DRAHLA

Whilst most of our friends and colleagues force their minds to dwell on the news, current affairs and football, we are all aware that this is just the side-show. Total absorption in the side-show precludes observation of, and participation in, the main event.

Like most main events, the vast majority of souls are merely spectators, with the action being determined by a few major players behind closed doors, who then stage a carefully orchestrated show in order to demonstrate to everybody that they are watching the real thing.

That is as much as we wish to say about the sideshow.

We now wish to promote the main event, and we are going to do this through drahla.

Drahla is a Tibetan word, which is best translated as "goodness". Our plan is to spread goodness around the planet, and we plead for your energetic participation. For those of our readers who have visited Our House, the game is already familiar, and is called

This game originated in Tibet, as can be noted from the name - it is the kind of game used by lamas for centuries.

All we have to do is to make a little effort to identify those tiny uplifting moments which occasionally lighten our heart -  the sight of a kitten sleeping, or the sunlight reflecting on the early morning haze, or the sound of children laughing... We are about to start a new life, where we concentrate only on the good things, and every time we spot a good thing, we are going to say, out loud, so that everybody can hear, "DRAHLA". We will be contributing our bit to the uplifting of the planetary aura, and contributing a tiny fraction towards the healing of the planet and its people.
Our dream is that we can walk down a street, and hear several people say "DRAHLA". If only half of the people found only one pleasant moment per day, then we would still have three billion DRAHLAS per day. Therefore, at Our House, whenever we notice a small piece of goodness we say, out loud, "DRAHLA". This brings one person's good feeling to the attention of all present, and allows us all to share in the same good feelings. By adopting this method of saying Drahla, we all get to share in more good feelings each day, thus uplifting our average mood. 

Recurrent drops in mood, created by bad news, or someone's unfortunate circumstances, or fear of impending problems, or sickness or boredom or loneliness, or guilt all lead to the creation of blockages in our otherwise healthy energy system.

The yogic answer is to be able to hold consciousness above the level of trivia, but for most of us, achieving a glimpse of a higher consciousness occasionally is what we strive for.

Meanwhile, while the world around us is up and down like a prostitute's underwear, we are trying to maintain a steady balance of mood, so that we can be in control of our thoughts and actions. Once we allow our energies to be swirled about by the haphazard world around us, then our balance is gone, and we fall asleep at the side show again, along with all of our associates.

Every time we say or hear "DRAHLA", then we are able to draw a deep breath and remember the difference between reality and illusion.

So we therefore plead for your help in lifting the planet out of its present deep rut. If everyone who reads this manages a couple of "DRAHLAs" per day, and manages to forward this message to a couple of other goodness-loving people, then we might just add enough weight to get this whole consciousness change rolling. What do you think?
