We might fancy that our enemies live outside us. That we have nothing to do with them. And that they have nothing to do with us. However, we might actually find, in our very quiet and still moments, that our enemies actually reside within us. Their thoughts, their feelings, and even their pain and trauma…
Why Go Deep?
What does it mean to go deep? And what do we find when we do so? There’s a particular reason why this work is called “Perspective Depth”. It’s because to find the true reconcilation to conflict, we must go deeper than simply sifting through the problems we see on the surface…and tap into the Consciousness…
Meditation: Conflict Reconciliation Tool
Meditation is the cornerstone of conflict reconciliation. Well, that’s the thesis of our work here. 🙂 The conflict within us needs to be worked through before we can even even begin to recognize the problems within others. “You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to…
Welcome to Perspective Depth, 2021!
Ranjeeth Thunga here, welcome to PerspectiveDepth.org. Welcome to this new site and the first blog article of this new site! This company was formed in early 2021. However, I’ve been at the work of mapping out perspectives for well over a decade, in different forms and projects. I gathered some of my earlier content at…
Can We Ever Exact Real Justice?
When we’ve been wronged or had, we have a brutal tendency to try to exact revenge on another party. A lot of times we don’t want to own this feeling, so we couch it in more politically correct words such as “retaliation” or “exacting justice”. Yet, taking justice into our own hands is fraught with…
The Good Day
An essential component in one’s life system is to nail down what constitutes a good day for us. What should you do, each day, that will make the day fulfilling for us? What is the quota? What, if we do every day, will we find solace that our day went OK? Some examples perhaps… Writing…
Corporate Meditation: The Trojan Horse
Meditation brought into corporate culture, on the surface, is a way to relax employees and get them to better focus on doing their job…and increase the bottom line of the organization. That’s the corporate intent. But the actual purpose of meditation is to connect one with Higher Consciousness. Whatever word we use for this. Source,…
Loving Our Enemies — Conflict Reconciliation in a Nutshell
“Love your enemies.” Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:44 Loving our enemies is the essential outcome of any spiritual practice and essential prerequisite to any conflict intervention. It’s the ultimate test of our character as a human being, community, or nation. And of course, it’s the central principle of this work. Everything else we can play around…
Owning Our “Ugly” Face
I was watching my daily dose of self-enrichment videos when YouTube’s (brilliant) search algorithm popped this video up. I exceeded my quota for the morning, but I was curious about the person in the video and what he looked like… and I can say, I’m now inspired to write my next blog post on this…
Society Can’t Guide Us
The moment I realized that the social models and society’s institutions could offer no real direction for me is the moment that I owned the clarity within myself. Mainstream society, though it offers us trends, grooves, tracks, and models to follow, is clueless as to how we should best contribute to the world we live…
The Center Point
There is a Center-Point in all experiences. Through meditation, we tune our minds towards this Center-Point, allowing our apparent selves to be informed by the wisdom It expresses. Interestingly, the light that we need to illumine the Center-Point comes from the Center-Point itself, allowing transcendence to happen on its own, to the degree we’re clear…
Determining Respect in Dialog
Earlier, I wrote an article on how respect is a prerequisite to any meaningful interaction. There really is no purpose to an interaction, and no fruits can come out of dialog, if there isn’t mutual respect first. We can look at our recent US Presidential Debates to see how no one’s learning anything from each…
Distractions and Processing our Feelings
This month I experienced a severe bout of Internet distraction. The flare-up lasted a couple of weeks…but it also indicated to me a long-term pattern deep within me that I am committed to get a handle on. The frenetic US election and post-election fiasco caused vertigo within me of intrigue, hilarity, and folly, resulting in…
To Just Breathe…
Whatever knots in your life… Whatever insults thrown your way… Whatever misunderstandings you shoulder… Whatever habits cast you away… Whenever world doesn’t see your value… Whenever sun doesn’t shine on your face… Whenever person doesn’t act with kindness… Whenever events compel you to chase… There is always solace, And that is… Student of MeditationRanjeeth Thunga
“Love Your Enemies” – Jesus Christ
Though I don’t call myself Christian, I love Jesus and the central tenet of this work, and I believe in all of human conflict resolution, is not even our ability, but simply our sincere commitment, to love our enemies… as Jesus taught. You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your…
The Source of Good Health
A lot of us have the notion that good health means keeping our body in shape — eating nutritious food, exercise our muscles, and getting enough sleep. Of course…all of these are good. But these fall by the wayside, more often than not, when we try to become more healthy. It’s especially tough when our…
Focus on Trauma 2021+
Over 2020, in line with the changes we’re going through as a planet, the fundamental premise of the work of Perspective Mapper is refreshed with the premise of processing what we actually feel within. We need to be able to feel each other’s trauma as our own to be able to transcend and work through…
“Spiritual Teacher” as Ego
Certainly earlier in my journey I had an urge to teach people around me what wisdom and path they should take up. But as I mature, I’m less and less inclined to do so. As I more and more own the sheer amount of reactions, blindspots, questionable choices, fogs and limitations within my own life…
What is Real Success?
I define real success as living in alignment with our Deeper Self… as consistently as we can. That’s it. When we are living from this perspective, despite struggles or strife, we are most satisfied inside and of greatest value to each other. But, we’re often misled by society. We’re told success is how much money…
Walking Through Judgment
It seems nothing inhibits our progress more than recurring judgments in our mind. Whether the judgments come our own expectations, or from others who project stuff on us, they can debilitate us. Judgments are voices in our head that are telling us we’re off-track, being wrong, or simply not worthwhile. And they seem to come…
