" Without this release, mental and physcial diseases would have a tendency to be ever on the increase. This results in, or at least contributes to, a higher degree of neurological dis-eases/disorders to occur, such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), the inability to remain focused on a specific topic over time. It would be also relative to a hodge-podge of other mental disorders - depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, dimentia and alzheimer's, etc... just to mention a few. Hence, meditation in the past was more easily achieved, as the demand place on the human psyche to process information has never been at such a level as it is today.

This is why I say the traditional methods alone are not enough to break the mold of the obsessive compulsive habitualized behavior that have been acquired through social conditioning/education. The degree at which humanity today is experiencing such levels of mental illness is unprecented. This has a direct correlation to increased pace of living due to the level of increased technology."

I personally don't think that there is any more mental illness now, than there was in the past. It is more that pharmacutical companies in partnership with psycologists and psychiatrists, have decided that what were seen as strong emotions, or behavioural patterns, are now considered illnesses, to be treated with drugs. I see that you turiya, seem to have bought into this line of thinking, but you seem to believe that your guru is going to save you, and the rest of human kind, instead of the drugs.

In my view, mental illness is not increasing, but the diagnosing of mental illness sure is.
