The ways that I feel like Arjuna are things like doing my homework when I get home from school, and I don’t feel like doing my homework. By the time that I get home from school I have very little motivation to do pretty much anything at all but take a nap or listen to music. Some nights when I get home from school I have work as well. This is related to the messages of the Bhagvad Gita because I know that in the long run that doing my homework and studying for school will help me on later test and quiz’s and bettering myself as a student. The Indians perspective of the Bhagvad Gita are very much different than those of the current day Americans perspective. The Indians believed in reincarnation. this made them believe that they needed to do good in their current life so that they would do good in there next life. But in America we pretty much believe that we only live one life. we don’t believe in an endless cycle. Now, venture back to ancient India. Think of a way the Bhagavad Gita could be used as a tool of oppression? Bhagavad Gita could be used as a tool of oppression in the way of having the higher classes or the wealthy have the ability to tell people how to act in order to be well off in their next live.

 

Feng Shui is a very powerful movement, it easy the mind and the body. Over the weekend I decided to Feng Shui my closet. First what I did was take all my sweatshirts, tank tops, jerseys, and flannels off of my top rack. I then went through all of them and found a few that I knew I wouldn’t wear anymore so I sent my better half a text to come pick them up if she wanted. Next, I went through put all my tank tops in the back of the closet since it’s starting to get chilly out. Then I put all my jerseys and flannels in, then last I put in all my sweatshirts. Next was all the shirts, Woah, I had a ton of them. I took them all out and checked the sizes, got rid of about 20 or so of them because they were either too small or I didn’t want them anymore. I sent those shirts with my mom before she went to church. Our church was getting a bunch of donations for the victims of those in and around Dallas. After I decluttered my shirts I kept around 50 shirts I would say, I colored coated them and then moved on to my shorts and pants. As well with the pants and shorts, I decluttered them, got rid of a few, and color coated them. I was not able to upload the pictures I took so I am going to post a picture of the internet.

The most powerful sensation was the scenery. I have been on this path before but it was my first time in almost a year so it was nice to see how the path has changed. When we were on the walk I heard a lot of wind gust’s along with birds flying around. While on the walk I didn’t smell much, maybe a few flowers. While I was on the walk I was thinking about the weather and the surrounding scenery. While on the walk I felt very calm and relaxed. It can relate to Taoism by the fact that everything is at peace and we are out enjoying the scenery.
