If you haven’t a bucket list already, write one down. Start ticking off things on it as quick as you can. Learn a new language. Go bungee jumping. Buy something extravagant for yourself. Whatever is important for you. - @KiranManral #TheMarriedFeminist https://t.co/vmj08cVf9i

While there is the conflict, the relief at the freedom from being the subject of the male gaze, there is paradoxically also the consternation of the realization that one is no longer considered present even when one is present.
1] Don’t resist the changes that you see in yourself, in your life. Go with the flow. What you resist, persists.
2] Don’t resent aging, you have lived your years and earned those wrinkles. They are what make you who you are. And yes, make sure you slather on that sunscreen and that retinoid. (after consulting a dermat, of course!)
20] Stop being overly bothered about your appearance. You will realise now, if you haven’t already, that there is much more to you that what you look like. And that no one really cares. Kiran Manral is Ideas Editor at SheThePeople.TV
Women represent empiricism and men a healthy scepticism and ambivalence; that's what came out of the debate on myth and history. May be more to do with awareness level than any inherent trait but the evolutionary burden of child rearing appears ill at ease with a rearview mirror.

Hindutva has survived and grown muscles on the anvil of this "respect and relegate" principle which Sri Aurobindo stoutly questioned. If discussed honestly and with adequate knowledge many pet ideas will collapse like a house of cards. Harbouring scoundrels needs to be abandoned. https://t.co/xvxMTQuTW9

Hindutva adherents have become restless and are increasingly loosing patience with Modi govt. This unpredictable turn can be ascribed to the Evolutionary intention outlined in the #FiveDreams of Sri Aurobindo. Many of his followers however remain staunch admirers of Hindutva, alas!

Fighting against fascists is no less fascist; ultimately, conflict and war are the primary modes of human behaviour. In fact, they are at the root of the whole biology. Sri Aurobindo, however, shows the Evolutionary dimensions vis-à-vis Vedic aspirations ingrained in certain acts

Pushing a narrative and telling the right thing are two different things. Obviously, people are driven by material gains and no escape from such compulsions. Sri Aurobindo, however, provides diverse perspectives to sense current priorities and imperatives. https://t.co/yA7GHvJTdf

Illogical stuff from itihAsa-purANas shouldn't be justified either. Maybe folks who claim tokenism for shruti - "respect and relegate" have a point after all.

One you could add to this list, too , is Henri Bortoft, who is perhaps quite relevant to Integral Yoga as well. He wrote on discerning between "authentic and counterfeit wholes" or integrations -- a most critical subject in these times of fakery.

[Biographers usually focus solely on Aurobindo's life as a politician or sage, but he was also a scholar, a revolutionary, a poet, a philosopher, a social and cultural theorist, and the inspiration for an experiment in communal living.] Book by Peter Heehs https://t.co/FbTBpMZ1dm
