Is It True Westerners Get Dry With Age?

Our technological society can sometimes be patronizing about simpler cultures and expect them all to aspire to be like us. But we might be surprised to know how they see us.

For example in India, is no longer the simpler culture it once was because it is industrializing so fast, Westerners are considered 'dry', especially as we get older.

If you are feeling a bit 'dry', or want to avoid a 'dry old age', learn to listen to your heart and follow your feelings and intuition, especially if you get the feeling to show kindness to others.

Many deep inner rewards come that way and one no longer feels 'dry'!

You know,

The West is pretty clear about what we think about simpler societies.

You know,

I remember my textbooks from,

You know,

High school talking about subsistence farming in quite a patronizing way.

Well,

I thought you might be interested to know what a simpler society thinks about Westerners.

So,

India isn't so simple anymore because it's industrializing so quickly.

But here in India,

It's commonly assumed by the people living here that Westerners are dry,

Especially as we get older.

We're seen as becoming very dry.

And,

You know,

I've talked a lot about the heart and the head and that we're overbalanced towards the head and we're neglecting our hearts.

And when we do that,

Life becomes dry and meaningless.

And I think that's all they're picking up on,

That the West is just too balanced,

Too overbalanced in our heads.

So,

You know what to do if one's becoming a dry Westerner or already that?

Just fan the flame of your intuition and your feeling.

The soul communicates to you through feeling and intuition.

You'll get a feeling about something.

Like,

You know,

You might get a feeling of that it's not a good idea to go to a certain party or,

You know,

Get in the car and drive somewhere.

You know,

It's better to stay home.

You get the feeling to stay home.

And sometimes that's just really accurate.

And those stories,

You know,

And the miracle stories of the angels healing,

You know,

Intervention of angels.

And they'll talk about that they,

You know,

Headed off and they had kind of a bad feeling,

But they overruled it.

And indeed they had an accident and,

You know,

Actually an angel helped them.

So it was okay.

But,

You know,

Inside each one of us,

You know,

Westerner,

Easterner,

Any human being is a little child who really knows that life is just a wonder and that we're all eternal beings just playing here on the earth,

Going through our,

You know,

Our schooling.

Yeah.

And we can tap into that.

And we do it through feeling and intuition.

So it's really just a really short plug for the next time.

Some data like that comes up,

You know,

To your mind,

Just experiment with following it,

You know,

Or if you have a feeling to do an act of kindness,

Follow it because the rewards will be immense.

Okay.

Bless your hearts.
