Rhythm - the one wise counsel that brings rhythm back into life

One key ingredient in aligning with the evolutionary impulse of the Universe is rhythm. There are many rhythms but the one that resets all the other according to Ayurveda (as taught by Deepak Chopra) is the circadian rhythm.

Bringing rhythm to one's own life needs to start with the body.

To center oneself life energies in the body (Yama) and to bring regularity (Niyam) sound sleep is necessary. Sound sleep helps the body regenerate. Sleeping closer to the earth energy that recharges and replenishes the body or in a consecrated space is necessary to revitalize and rejuvenate as the bindu chakra, the manipura where all the 72 nadis meet and marma points maintain the body and the subtle body.

For sound sleep the body needs to be free of the effort to digest food. For the body to be free of the effort to digest food, food shouldn't be taken for a a few good hours before going to sleep. As I have heard from a Jain girl in a video on YouTube her family had the habit of not taking food later than 6.30 PM. With this simple and essential point, the body can take the time to digest then go to sleep and regenerate the body so that one feels rested in the morning and can wake up easily even in the Brahma Muhurta or during the morning Sandhya Kala for meditation.

Like this after meditation one can eat because there will be already 11 to 12 hours since the last meal and one can now eat the first meal of the day with gusto. And through this the body can brought without much effort to sit for the meditation if it is a sitting or moving meditation.

What created western "civilized" society as we know it ?

Basically private property and marriage. That's the basis of the so called "civilized" life and also the basis of all conflict, sexual repression and sexual perversions down the ages. 

There are parts of the world where private property is not the norm of communal living, like in communes and the kibbutz.

As for the marriage Shunmyo Masuno in his book "Don't worry" nails it: "Love is beautiful misunderstanding. Marriage is cruel understanding."

The matter concerning religious so called 'dialogue' in christianity in particular

As OSHO explains in one of the books released based on his transcripts "From Ignorance to Innocence" when a man knows himself there is no need to meet with another man who knows himself and if a man does not know then he needs to listen to the man who knows that is it is a monologue. This proves that the 'dialogue' is bogus. If one part would know themselves the other would need to listen. And that can be extended to other so called religious 'dialogues'. There is no such thing. It's a lie of the people who do not know themselves.
