A Call Center

My friend, who happens to be busy now trying out various types of ‘business-ventures’, after having surprisingly failed at a steady one held on to for several years, came up to ‘consult’ about the layout for a ‘brochure’ to persuade prospective students to join the proposed institute/training center for a “call center” job.
Obviously, the present tie-up is with just two modest companies, who perhaps cannot even afford the expenses of a very preliminary process of recruitment of their own! And the course-coordinator who accompanied this friend was ‘hooked’ up to stake a one-hour meet session, with me, just because he has already invested his commitment with this friend, for setting up a training center!

The discussion , for me , turned out to be a very ‘refreshing’ experience!
It lasted for an hour (very short period, by the usual sessions that I normally enjoy (!) at the expense of others(!), because they had to race against time to keep other appointments, having overshot their own allotted time-slot with me!

They produced a brief write up, defining a call centre, its uses, and then summing up with Job opportunities.
I suggested to turn it upside down in presentation to start with “Job Opportunities” to entice the reader to move further. Like….
“ MNC’s need YOU,
to make available,
a virtual help desk at the door step for their
prospective customers, clients, buyers (as an after sales service ) etc…
if, you have good,
communication skills,
proactive attitude,
‘satisfaction-assuring’ abilities,
Screening abilities (to properly channelise the calls to proper person up the ladder)
Etc… etc….

The coordinator said he had two years of experience at “training” students/candidates for manning call centers. I at once proceeded to bring out the distinction between “training” and “teaching” ! One can ‘train’ even an animal, but to teach, you need a ‘human’ being as a student! Even with animals, after training, the circus animals happen to fascinatingly impress the audience much more than the ‘content-value’ of the sniffer-dogs that are trained by police personnels! One interesting aspect about training a police dog is that the well trained dog happens to always excel the trainer himself, for obvious reasons of highly enhanced, and more importantly, un-adulterated perception abilities gifted by nature! Since the dogs are trained, not taught, they can be fooled/misled/deceived by an expert criminal !
And, the apathy of us moderners, is that, we inadvertently end up training our children at handling life’s routines, instead of teaching them, and even ‘boast’ of having groomed them, with good ‘up-bringing’ skills! Here lies one of the clues to the puzzling lack of respect for ‘elders’ when children happen to ‘stand’ on their own, facing real-life situations! The lasting effect of elderly care is relative to what we teach, empowering children to handle any situation, out of the resourcefulness that they can enrich themselves with, when we teach them the ‘learning’ skills well ! We get repaid in the response we receive as their ‘elders’ at a later stage when we ‘retire’ from active life!

Dramatic examples occurred to me during the discussions, to effectively communicate the concepts involved in acquiring communicative skills, customer-retention-skills, seamless transportation of customers to that ‘comfort-zone’ affording an assurance of personalized care response, etc… Despite intense temptations to mention those examples, the elaborate narrative involved in them bringing out , deters me here. For instance, I used real life instances where a person stands at the entrance of a garment shop shouting at the crowd, modulating the voice to barely resemble a warm welcome, where as the noise of road-traffic compels a shrill full-throated audibility-oriented scream! These persons, I explained, end up as shout-centers, as a contrast to the telephone-call-receiving call center person! A good mother, is an example of an expert call-center-jobber, when she identifies/diagnosis the correct reason for each of those instances when the baby gives the same pattern of ‘crying’ call to get the attention (whether it is hunger, sleep, nappy-wetting, insect bite, physical discomfort due to sweat, stuffy clothing, etc.. etc…). However, it is not very wise, to ‘train’ a child to use ‘crying’ as the only means of attracting a mother’s attention, because the child may remain stuck to that stupid trait, even after growing into verbal communication abilities!

I gently summed up saying that I was ‘practically’ better taught into ‘how to end up as a “shut-up-center”….’ for nearly 12 years, so , maybe, I was not very much suited to be consulted about setting up a ‘call-center’ (mentally I recalled all those ‘silence-programs’ I had attended, during the spiritual-oriented Yoga programs I had attended).
That friend in turn summed up, and doing so, he hinted at persuading me to conduct a seminar for the students when the call center becomes functional! (And, I was wondering, if they really knew what it means, to call something a “seminar” ! The origin or the ‘root’ of the word, and its choice, incidentally, happens to prove, yet once again, the ‘uniqueness’ of the priceless gift to humans, the awareness, using which, we have evolved far beyond using the reproductive organs for merely the primitive procreation or rather preservation of our species ! Oh! Mercifully enough, they did not or could not wait to hear this elaboration! The dictionary says, “ a group of advanced students working in a specific subject of study under a teacher’.. … meaning, they are ‘prepared’ to be implanted with a ‘seed’ about a deeper topic, …….. like the present marriage laws suggest, the ideal age of marriage for a girl to be atleast 18, healthy enough to contain a seed !)

Perhaps a Bridge to spirituality?

We are always fascinated by things which seem 'out of natural' !
Ancient Indian Masters, the sages, the saints had spent life times exploring the possibility of experiences beyond sensory level of perception.
I felt fortunate when I received the following though an email-forward. I felt it would be good to make it available to those who care to glance through this blog page.
Please do read it and give it a thought!
Maybe, perhaps, etc........ Our ancient Mantras, blessings, that "tathaasthu" etc could have been really with some purpose! That 'Jaatakaranam, Naamakaranam,' .... oh! that endless list.
Well, UNLESS perception is deep enough, way beyond sensory levels, better to leave it to an OPEN mind to explore for oneself!
If inclined, I would really appreciate comments/views/opinions!Regards,
PSN

Russian Human Genome Project discovers Extraterrestrial abilities to modify DNA through a "biological internet"http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Frontpage/2007/05/15/01569.htmlby Mary Rodwell [Excerpted]Some recent Russian DNA discoveries documented by Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf in their book Vernetzte Intelligenz have been summarised by Baerbel. `The human DNA is a biological Internet' with evidence that DNA can be `influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies.' This suggests that `our DNA is not only responsible for the construction of our body, but also serves as data storage and communication.' The Russian scientists and linguists have found that the genetic code `follows the same rules as all our human languages.' In effect, human language did not appear coincidentally but is a reflection of our DNA.The Russian researchers believe that `Living chromosomes function just like a holographic computer using endogenous DNA laser radiation. This means that they managed to modulate certain frequency patterns (sound) onto a laser-like ray which influence DNA frequency and thus the genetic information itself. Since the basic structure of DNA-alkaline pairs and language is of the same structure, no DNA decoding is necessary. One can simply use words and sentences of the human language! This, too, was experimentally proven!' Of course the frequency has to be correct. But for the purposes of this article, the Russian research shows how science now can demonstrate a way to reprogram DNA through language and frequencies."Experiencers" who manifest unusual languages, such as Rochelle (see the video Expressions of ET Contact: A Communication and Healing Blueprint?) call these `soul languages'. Rochelle vocalises them when doing energy work and healing. Healing with sound and frequencies takes on a new meaning in this context. It could mean that Rochelle and others like her may well intuitively be able to change or reprogram DNA though such frequencies while healing. We already know that our subconscious is affected by subliminal frequencies and hypnosis, and the Russian research may have given us a scientific explanation why such techniques work so well. The question is whether the specific frequencies of these languages are designed to affect orreprogram our human DNA? This may well give us grounds for reviewing ancient texts in regards to our origins.The Russian DNA research article coincidentally mentions the changes in our children in terms of group consciousness. They comment that `if humans with full individuality would regain group consciousness they would have a godlike power to create, alter and shape things on Earth and humanity is collectively moving towards a group consciousness of a new kind.' They state that `fifty percent of children will become a problem as soon as they go to school, since the system lumps everyone together and demands adjustment. But the individuality of today's children is so strong that they refuse this adjustment and resist giving up their idiosyncrasies. … At the same time more and more clairvoyant children are being born. Something in those children is striving more towards group consciousness of a new kind and it can no longer be suppressed.'Are the Russian researchers in fact referring to what is now called the ADD (attention deficit disorder) child? Unfortunately, because there is no funded global research it's hard to gain accurate statistics. But, if the process of labelling children as ADD is an indicator of this phenomenon, then we are indeed evolving at an astounding rate.The global perspective and more pieces fit the puzzle: Science, anthropology, theology, archaeology and the kids.This short article entitled `Learning to communicate with extraterrestrials: young children in India-China Himalaya use strange sign language' appeared on the website of India Daily (29 Jan 2005) by a staff reporter:`In the deep region of Himalayas, people are reporting strange behaviours in children. The children are using sign languages which are unknown to their families and anyone around. Many of the children draw pictures of triangular objects flying in the sky. Many of them do not know what they saw and how they learnt these sign languages. Some in the region of Aksai Chin believe that these children regularly communicate with the extraterrestrials who are only visible to these children and communicate via telepathy. The children learn the sign language to communicate back to these beings. According to UFO research materials, some Mexican children also manifest similar behaviour, when many in the area reported for a long time UFO sightings. … According to some teachers in the schools in that area, young children are extra agile and extra talented these days. Their problem solving skills have increased and they are much more disciplined. They continually use a strange sign language among themselves. However they cannot teach this language to adults! The locals in the area believe UFOs have been visiting the area for thousands of years. It stopped for a while and now it has started again.' (See: www.indiadaily.com)Families have contacted me from all over the globe, not only from Australia, Europe, North and South America, but Asia and Russia, and all describe children advanced from the norm in psychological and physical development and with exceptional psychic abilities.In Mexico City these same "New Humans" have begun to emerge, and it is said that over 1000 children are able to `see' with various parts of their bodies. In some countries, government agencies interested in such children are actively researching the phenomenon. China has a program for investigating children with similar abilities, which is taken very seriously by the Chinese Government in Beijing. The book China's Super Psychics by Paul Dong and Thomas Raffill describes children with exceptional human functioning (EHF) who display similar patterns to Indigo or Starchildren. They, too, are very psychic and intuitive, for example some have the ability to open flower buds by thought alone. And like the Mexican children, many have shown an ability to see with other parts of their bodies. They display telekinetic abilities as well as other fascinating multi-dimensional skills, such as sensing another's thoughts (telepathy). It has also been reported that the Chinese government has observed these children changing the human DNA molecule in a petri dish before cameras and scientific equipment to record this supposedly impossible feat. We have no evidence to prove that these abilities are the result of extraterrestrial interventions. But, given the fact that the Chinese government is very secretive, this may well be something they do not feel ready to share. However, I am told that the Chinese are extremely interested in the UFO phenomenon and take it very seriously.More pieces of the puzzleAlthough I can't cover all my research in this article, I can give the reader some points to ponder. The late Francis Crick, Nobel Prize winner, co-discoverer of the shape of the DNA molecule and author of Life Itself, made the astounding claim `that an advanced civilization transported the seeds of life in a spacecraft'! One wonders what led him to such an incredible conclusion. References in religious and biblical texts certainly raise questions as to our real origins. Anthropology still can't explain how we changed or morphed so dramatically from Neanderthal to Homo sapiens and the missing link has not been discovered or explanations given on how the developmental gap was bridged. Biblical scholar, Zecheria Sitchin, author of the Earth Chronicles suggests such answers could lie in ancient religious texts, such as the Bible. According to Sitchen, the Bible is a condensed rendering of ancient Sumerian and Akkadian texts. From his research he believes that Homo sapiens was a "genetic upgrade" of existing hominids which was undertaken by extraterrestrial beings called the Nephilim who came to Earth 450,000 years ago. Indigenous tribes worldwide have within their oral history that they are visited by sky beings and are being genetically upgraded. The Dogan tribe (African Mali Tribe) call the star visitors the Nummo, an alien species which came from Sirius and genetically upgraded humans when they came to Earth. The Aborigines of Australia also talk of the sky beings Wandjina, who made them and gave them laws to live by.For those who seek to explore, there are many such anomalies in archaeological, anthropological, religious and spiritual texts that must guide the thinking person to question what we are educated to believe in terms of our origins and genetic heritage. But, the most compelling evidence comes from the testimony of children, many of them not old enough to read. It's information so profound one has to wonder how and where they obtained it. Mike Oram ("experiencer") resides in the United Kingdom. He told me that he was only 4 years old when he told his mother that there was no such thing as death. His mother disagreed, but Mike said `the Universe goes on for eternity and it's not true that we no longer play a part in the Universe. We come back.' `I was too young to know the word reincarnation', he said. `I then shocked her by saying "You are not my real parents, my parents are in space, and something of incredible importance will happen in this planet and it will affect all levels of consciousness, it will not happen in your life time but it will in mine." My poor mother never forgot that conversation' (Mike Oram).Colin Wilson in Alien Dawn (1998) wrote that not long before Andrija Puharich's death he asked him what he was working on. `Paranormal children', he said: `You wouldn't believe how many of these kids are out there, they seem to be at genius level. I know dozens, and there are probably thousands.' Wilson concludes, `And this, I suspect is the beginning of the change that the UFOs are working on' (p.309).Unfortunately many such phenomena are only recognised through a particular discipline's limited field of study, and this sadly narrows the perspective. There is no doubt that, for some, the extraterrestrial hypothesis is a hard one to swallow. But even if (for now) we interpret this data from a desire to understand why we may be evolving so rapidly, as this research suggests, we need to be open to all possibilities. Even if the puzzle is just perceived as another way of understanding ourselves, the question remains that, if we are evolving at an accelerated rate than cannot be explained in normal evolutionary terms, how and why is it happening?Are "starchildren", "New Humans", Indigos and smart kids, etc., one and the same phenomenon? If they are, then the extraterrestrial hypothesis makes more sense. After all, it is ludicrous for the thinking person to believe we are the only intelligent life in the universe, given the vastness of space. And it is logical to believe that some of those other life forms may have evolved sufficiently to be able to visit us, even if how they travel here may be beyond our current scientific understanding.The hypothesis of extraterrestrial reality is not only possible but also probable and explains many anomalies in our origins, our mythology and religions. Certainly, if what experiencers and indigenous people tell us is true, we have a very intimate and on-going relationship with the visitors, in addition to a common gene pool. This would certainly explain their continuing interest and participation in our evolutionary development.The primitive and aggressive nature of Homo sapiens, armed with technology to destroy not only each other but our beautiful planet, may well be why these ET ancestors have decided to accelerate humanity's evolutionary upgrade program. A "New Human" with multi-level awareness of our cosmic connection to all that is, may well be the only way we will finally appreciate what we have, change our behaviour, and grow up to take full responsibility for ourselves and this beautiful planet.The starchildren could be an integral part of this wake up call and it may be that through them we are being led to an understanding of this profound connection.`Human beings are here to remember themselves, with conscious awareness and with complete understanding of their innate connection to the Universe.' — T. Taylor.If quantum theory is correct, science can't disagree that we are indeed connected to everything, including our extraterrestrial visitors! `To them we are the aliens!' — Jess, (8 years old, Western Australia). What can I say: `Out of the mouths of babes'
