How I remembered union with God * 4
    #5743040 - 06/12/06 06:50 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

(And how you can too)

:adishakti:

New Preface March 17 2017
: This OP was written when I was 14 or 15 years old, half my lifetime ago. The title was originally "How I remembered that I was God". Now as a 29 year old man, my ideas have developed. Accordingly, I have changed the title of this thread to reflect a humble attitude of devotional love and submission to God leading to Union.

Atman is Brahman. The Individual Human Soul is of one essence with the Cosmic Divine Soul, and union with God is the goal of Yoga.

All is one. We are all aspects, facets, fractals of the Universal Mind.

We are divine. Everything is created from, sustained by, and transformed by God. From God we come, in God we abide, and to God we return.

We are of God and partake of his essence. We are dreamers within the dream of the Eternal Dreamer, blessed to partake of his creative divinity.

We are fractals, microcosms of the Godhead. As Above, so Below.

But now I do not say "I am God". I say "I submit myself to God with love and devotion and set up no partners with God. I bow my head at the Lotus Feet of the Lord".

WAHE GURU. SAT NAAM.




Ok guys. A long time ago I became aware of “the topic”. I call it the topic because it is as broad as the universe and as infinite as god, and any name is not its true name.

The topic deals with who we are, where we came from, where we are going, and the choices and options that we may not realize are available to us. The topic deals with remembering your divinity, with taking control of your life, and with reconnecting with an infinitely wise and infinitely loving intelligence, that many would call God.

The topic is something that can not be experienced unless it is approached on all levels, thought, word and deed. It must be read about, and talked about, but also lived.

What I have collected here is The first 25 pages of a transmission that I received from the universal brotherhood of light, from god, or from deep aspect of my unconscious mind.

I am posting it because I feel that this information, this outlook on life, is the main reason that I currently reside in heaven on earth. I feel that this “topic” is what has allowed me to live in a world of continuous bliss and love and peace and happiness and adventure, punctuated by moments of bittersweet but still precious tragedy or grief. This topic has allowed me to transform my life beyond imagination

AND IT CAN DO THE SAME FOR YOU

The temple of knowledge has many doors. This is only one of them, and if you do not identify with what I am saying, do not worry. God speaks with EVERY voice, and sooner or later you’ll find one your willing to listen to. You cannot fail in your quest, only choose how long it takes you.

What follows are a series of “transmissions” that I received over the last 2 years. All of them were marked by feelings of euphoria, extasy, love and excitement, and all of them were written “free flow” as automatic writing.

Most have been posted at some time before. If you have already read one entry, skip ahead.

If something bores you, or doesn’t make sense, skip ahead and come back later.

If your not interested, go do something else.

I love you, and I honestly believe that if you read with an open mind, you will find at least one idea that transforms your conception of reality.

Enjoy!







Fantasize

Ok. Take a deep relaxing breath and free your mind with groovy vibrations.

Good.

Now we are going to play a little game.

Close your eyes and imagine that you are a being of infinite and cosmic power. This isn’t some stupid new age visualization, don’t worry. Just pretend for a moment that you could do anything, your power is godlike.

What do you do? Just let your imagination run wild and make a list.


Here is mine:

-save and restore earth’s natural garden, save the endangered species.
-find true love
-find infinite happiness
-find unlimited perception
-bring help to the needy, healing to the sick, food to the hungry etc
-overthrow all evil governments
-stop all exploitation and slavery

etc.

Now seriously, it’s fun. Make your own list.

Chances are, unless you’re a complete bore, that you have some pretty wicked stuff on that list.

Now imagine instead of asking you, what would you do if you had unlimited power, id said "what do you feel like doing right now?"

Chances are you would say something like "jacking off" "getting some food" "having a shower" maybe "working out" "watching TV"
etc.


Compare the two lists. Which one is more exciting? Which one is more inspiring? Which one gives you more motivation?

Here is my point: it is essential to begin thinking as if you could do anything, because otherwise, well, you’ll be a fucking boring, underachieving person, or at least, that’s the extreme end of too little capacity to dream.


Now look at your first list, your infinite power list, again.

Take mine, which is not un-ambitious, as an example. EVERYTHING on that list is at least to some unknown degree in my power to achieve. Happiness, true love, environmental protection, the overthrow of tyranny, healing to the sick... all of these things I have as a conventional human being the power to influence.

Yet without that first inspirational thought "what if I could do anything" I would not have let my mind dream so big.

Thought without action is impotent, but thought is the ROOT of all action, and without right thought, right action is impossible.

What I’m pointing out is an alternative to the limited state of consciousness represented by the question "what do I feel like doing", which is the state of consciousness represented by the question "what is my deepest, most potent desire?"

The point is, living as if you were a demi-god isn’t just occult truth. It’s psychological and pragmatic good sense.

So stop selling yourself short.

Why and How


Many of you have glasses or wear contacts. You are familiar with that unique sensation of putting on that device and having your whole world clarified, your sensory experience becomes sharper, deeper, more vibrant and more beautiful.

If you had never worn glasses, you could never imagine how much of life’s richness you were missing out on, how much more was going on around you then you were capable of perceiving.

This transformation of perception has much in common with the changes that occur in ones consciousness during the process of spiritual awakening.

The world becomes more alive, more glorious, sensations are sharpened, and each instant is viewed with a sense of love and amazement. Each human face that passes by seems neither like a dull, meaningless occurrence nor even as a possible source for reproduction/danger/profit etc…

Rather each face that passes, and indeed each moment of experience, begins to seem a shattering miracle, a piece of art so potent that it borders on pain…

Just as in the experience of the person who puts on his glasses for the first time, it is not possible to understand what you are missing out on unless you take that first leap of faith, trusting that your glasses will indeed help your condition.

That this method, wearing glasses, will work, you cannot KNOW until you try
Therefore, the first act in any spiritual or healing process is some act of faith
In the case of glasses, it may not be very hard to muster the faith required to take the first because you have heard from hundreds of people how well glasses work

I would like to suggest that the techniques of achieving spiritual clarity
Which is innately joyous, healing and indeed pleasant
Are numerous and well known
And have been practiced for thousands of years successfully

Of course, any process requires some dedication, some commitment, and some passion
But if you ask, it shall be given
And if you seek, you shall find.

Meditate.
Energize the energy centers of your subtle body.
Practice zazen, pranayama, breath or concentration.
Practice dance, martial arts, yoga.
Learn to silence your inner dialogue, even for moments at a time
Earnestly seek contact with the logos
Pray.
Say prayers of gratitude, love, and praise.
Let your only supplicatory prayers be prayers to know god, love god, praise god more deeply.
Trust in your intuitions.
Be aware of the interactive nature of your experience.
Know that what you cultivate in your soul and mind will be loosed in your experience.
Don’t delude yourself. Any hateful thought, vengeful thought, obsessive thought, fearful thought and every greedy thought will impact every aspect of your experience.
So will every positive thought.
Don’t indulge in pessimism.
Practice informed shamanic plant gnosis.
LOVE
LOVE EVERYTHING
LOVE EVERYONE
Stop inhibiting yourself
Express your uniqueness
DON’T CONFORM
Know that you are created by an intelligence that is perfect
Thus, you are perfect.
Stop striving.
Don’t DO things. ALLOW things to happen.
Be a polished mirror.
Exercise physically.
Drink enough water.
As above so below.
Believe in and DEMAND experiential justification for your beliefs.
Experience Nature.
Don’t let other people decide your reality.
Take responsibility.
Groove.
Be gnarly.
PLAY.
Be innocent
Stop judging
STOP JUDGING ANYTHING
Stop judging yourself
Don’t measure progress
Experience the instant
When you say yes to that instant
You say yes to all of eternity








Crisp Morning Air


Listen, if you care.

Your consciousness is unlimited. Reality is your play thing. I am not saying that there is some mystical path that will lead you to realization of godhood and an escape from the dross of physical existence.

Rather, you are already gods, exercising in every instant your inborn right and ability to create your experience. Everything you’ve ever complained about you did to yourself. This is true whether you live in a worldly paradise or a living hell.

Reality is what you perceive. You have access to a huge variety of perceptions and therefore a huge variety of realities. Regular waking life, intoxications of all kinds, psychedelics, dreams, lucid dreams, astral projections, visualizations, somatic and hypnogogic hallucinations, religious ecstasies, deep trances, heart center, mind center, rational, intuitive, technological worlds, virtual realities.... all of these things exist and all these modalities of experience are available to you.

Moreover, there is a great convergence. Technology has delivered the long promised
Akashic records. It has made telepathy and racial memory a reality. It has given each individual access to the accumulated wisdom of the whole. All the promises of the mystics have been fulfilled and fulfilled again.

Every possible grace and aide you could possibly want or need has been given to you to help you on your spiritual quest, should you choose to begin it,

Dangling before you is the promise to live in the imagination. To create consciously the parameters of your experience, to be at play in the fields of the gods. To have lucid dreams, even when wide awake.

When one begins living in this way, the extraordinary becomes common place. Telepathic and precognitive experiences, extreme synchronicities, sober hallucinations, ever deepening complexity and vividness of awareness and perception... all of this is added to you.

In your hands you hold the key to the door to everything. That door is opening for us all, individually and as a race. The destiny of the planet, the climax of tens of billions of years of consciously guided evolutionary and biological processes... we are living at the cresting of histories wave.

"Whatever you do, don’t be bored, because this is the most interesting time you could possible have hoped to be alive" - waking life.

My message for you all, should anyone care or need to hear it, is that you no longer have any excuse. You could be, can be, will be assuming responsibility for your destiny and the destiny of the planet.

I guess what I’m saying is, something phenomenal is happening here. Something so rich and incredible, an experience so transcendent, that not in our wildest imaginations could we have envisioned it, not in our wildest dreams desired it. yet here it is, before our eyes, filling our lungs with each inhalation. By some gratuitous grace, WE, NOW, are alive, awake, full of the breath of life, and we are offered the chance to participate in the greatest adventure of all... to wed ourselves to the divine, to submerge ourselves in the unspeakable

to speak unto the logos and hear it respond

to look into the depths of eternity and have eternity look into the depths of us

to know ourselves

to create ourselves

to remember ourselves, again.

i cant make anyone see this who hasn’t already felt it crawling under there skin and behind their eyelids. All I can do is send my voice out in the void to those others who are awakening and say "arise, beloveds! the band is playing! The sun is bright, the day is fresh, the universe an unpainted canvas! Let the dancing and singing begin! The old dreams are ended! The new day has dawned!"









A brief extrapolation:

Don’t get me wrong. We are not the sole manufacturers of our experience, per se. Rather; we are in a partnership with the universal/planetary mind/logos/god. This GOD so to speak is a vast wave of intelligence that encompasses and in fact IS all things. Imagine an endless beam of white light.

The thing about light is that it is invisible. It contains all possibilities but manifests none. Our part is to act as prisms. Each of us is a unique mind therefore a uniquely shaped prism to diffract gods light. Some of us are configured to get green light, others blue so to speak.

In other words, some of us, by nature of how we have shaped our consciousness, manifests the negative potentials of god, other manifest the positive potentials, some manifest heaven realms, others manifest hell.

So even though its true that you don’t create the underlying STUFF of reality, it is ONLY by your partnership and participation with god that your specific experiential reality is created. Everything in your experience, how it appears and how you feel about it, is a result of your configurations.

Another way to look at it is with the hologram metaphor. Your experienced reality is like a hologram. A hologram is formed when two beams of information containing light are shone into each other. The hologram appears where the two beams of light meet. This is the metaphor of your relationship with god, and how it produces your experience. The point is, all it takes is the rearrangement of one of the two beams of light or awareness, to change the whole holographic image.

So in that sense, it can be you,. god has given you the capacity to reengineer your holographic experience, or your perceptual reality, by changing what kind of energy or awareness you are putting out.

Reality is you looking at god and god looking back. But believe Jesus when he says "with faith the size of a mustard seed you could move mountains"

the ultimate nature of reality is mental. The process of secreting your waking experience is quantitatively similar to that involved in secreting dreams. Just as in a dream you are able to manifest a totally immersive, unique , interactive and to all appearances REAL reality, so you do even now in waking life, although the process of manifestation are slower.

This is why learning to lucid dream is a valuable prerequisite to learning to consciously co create your life.

Here is one final metaphor: God is like a broad band radio frequency, or rather, he is like radio wave itself, in all its frequencies. You are the radio. But you control your own dial. In other words, although you don’t create the radio waves, you have total control over which ones you pick up and when. Thus you literally can shift from perceptual reality to perceptual reality, and back again, at will. This is the essence of shamanism and your birthright as an awakened human.

Good luck









My Fungal Romance




(Just sorting out my thoughts I guess, bear with me)

i got into mushrooms early. Very early. In fact, mushrooms were the first drug I ever consumed. More hilariously, i didn’t even know what i had eaten. I was probably 13-14 years old at the time. I was snooping in my brothers room and discovered a small wooden box filled with an unidentified semi-powdered substance. Almost intuitively i proceeded to roll this powder into several amateur joints (at this point i had never even smoked weed).

I took these joints and went with a good friend to a nearby forest area. We smoked two of the joints and had no effect. Almost as an afterthought I pulled one open and ate it. Disappointed, we went our separate ways and went home.

Half an hour later, I was asleep in bed, my novice attempt at drug use forgotten. Then i woke up. My first impression was of a face looking at me. A strange, alien face. My initial shock subsided as I realized that the face was my own reflected in my window. I felt very strange.

I spent a moment in deep confusion, seeming to watch my thoughts as visual bubbles, floating hopelessly away from me. I got up in a state of anxiety and agitation. At no point did I recall the eaten joint of unknown substance or consider that I was having a drug experience. (The powder was dried shrooms, I later confirmed)

feeling disassociated and afraid, I grabbed a brightly colored book from my shelf. It was really stupid one called "police humor" I tried to read it but couldn’t focus on the words. I had the impression that the red cover was blood dripping on my hands.

Then I noticed my fluffy cat Toby sitting on my desk. Glad for his reassuring company I began stroking him. I had the distinct impression that he was looking at my face. Then, to my shock, he turned his head around, AND LOOKED AT MY FACE. In other words it seemed like he had 2 faces.

That’s about the last of the trip I can distinctly remember. The whole thing served to awaken my curiosity about shrooms. I had a series of amazing mushroom experiences over the next few years, few and far between and precious.

At the same time, I was busily devouring all the literature i could find on spirituality, metaphysics, magic, lucid dreaming, astral projection, meditation, tantra et all. I got into pot smoking.

Anyways, all this culminated with a truly bizarre and staggering psychedelic experience when i was perhaps 16 or 17 years old. This one represented for me the first phase of my "psychedelic bar mitzvah" as Terrence McKenna describes it .

Basically, I was at my cabin digesting books such as "the nature of personal reality" "conversations with god " and the Tao Te Ching. I decided to eat some shrooms, the dosage is forgotten, probably 3-5 grams.

Anyways, the trip came on strong and strange. I experienced an overwhelming sensation of speaking with, or more accurately being spoken to, by a powerful and infinitely intelligent presence. It was speaking with great clarity and relevance about all the most important questions in my mind. It spoke about my mental relationship to the world and the true depths of my potential. It really put things in my lap. It said "look, you’re in charge of your dream. NOW WHAT?"

It seemed like a huge load had been put on me. Like I was being forced in one instant to assume responsibility for my whole existential journey. I honestly believe I was catapulted to a level of awakening similar to that of Jesus Christ of the Buddha. I felt like I had a deep understanding of the fundamental mechanics of reality and was actually in my perception able to manifest objects that I desired, such as my hoody, or cause the radio to play songs with my thought.

As this point I began to have a morbid thought. It occurred to me that my dad, who was on his way out to the cabin from the city, was in a car accident. This filled me with huge unease. I tried hard to put the thought out of my mind but it kept reoccurring with greater urgency.

Finally i resolved to call my dads cell. I would just say hi and when i heard his voice id know i was just tripping and could relax. It was all ok. I called. He picks up. "Hi dad, how are you?" his voice sounds shaken "oh, I’m ok Dan. I just hit a bear on the road"

he was ok, the bear maybe not, he didn’t stop to find out. It hit the side of his car, literally walking into it, thus preventing a possibly fatal accident by a fraction of a second.

Anyways, when I heard this my ontology collapsed even more. I saw this as real, objective and indisputable proof of the validity of what the mushroom was telling me. I KNEW my dad was in an accident, and he was. i knew because the mushroom told me. the same mushroom that was telling me things like "you create your own experience" and other reality bending truths.

Anyways, when I came down from that trip, which was so thick with synchronicities and revelations that I won’t relate it all now, my enlightenment faded. i returned to a more normal state but i retained an awareness of the possibilities that lay latent in my consciousness.

So I determined to begin a program of spiritual practice with the goal of being able to maintain a psychedelic state of wisdom in sober day to day life. So I’ve practiced meditation, ritual, lucid dreaming, hyper awareness, yoga and martial arts and achieved many interesting and healing altered states of consciousness in these ways. I’ve also achieved a much greater level of health and happiness in my day of day life.

I have even attained a glimmer of that psychedelic magic in my normal non- shroomed life. It has been almost a year since my last trip.

Now I am coming full circle. I feel that my non mushroom meditation and metaprogramming have served to prepare my nervous system and brain for a more full and meaningfull immersion in the logos. My first trips were undertaken young, perhaps to young to make sense of all the information. My hope is that having prepared myself for this, I will begin a second wave of my shamanic journey that will take me to realms hitherto unknown.

In the next two days i will undergo a classic McKenna style mushroom trip, 3 grams dried, closed eye in partial darkness and relaxing quiet. And i will converse with the universe.

Forgive me for being so dramatic. I’ve been away from mushrooms for so long i guess im talking myself back up to reentering that world. For me, the fear of the mushroom trip is very real and a constant challenge for me in my journeys. I hope my practice in meditation and thought exercises will help me in this.

Anyways, I don’t know if anyone cared about that but what the hell eh?

Peace to all my fellow Psychonauts. Keep hunting the deeper dream.










After

Well, it’s been done. I have dipped again into the shamanic waters and found them glorious.

This morning I awoke to a beautiful sunny day, and I knew the time was right, so I ate my moderate dose of dry psilocybin shrooms at around 8. I took a walk and watched the beautiful trees. I strolled casually until I began to feel the onset of the trip, fairly fast approaching. Then I walked home and retired to my room.

I put on a shamanic trance CD to guide me through the first nauseous waves and into the psychedelic space beyond. The trip was potent, present, but manageable. I felt comfortable in the realms presented to me. Almost immediately dystrophic and morbid thoughts and images arose to my closed eyes and mind. I watched them with interest. Each seemed to have a direct message for me, and by allowing them to rise and dissipate felt healing, like I was purging my mental stockpiles of nightmares and obsessions.

With eyes open, I soon came to perceive an intricate web of shifting light tendrils, definitely visible but subtle and ethereal, curling with a definite animation and intelligence.

With my eyes closed, I began to see strange glyph like encrustments of information, something like Terrance McKenna’s 3d language. I practiced shamanic glossolalia, or improv chanting, and found that this had an obvious impact on my closed eye visuals. When I chanted, the visuals became more intricate and potent, when I stopped they receded.

I lay in bed for a long time, feeling like I was on a psychotherapists couch. Issues were presented to me, analyzed, and resolved. With each tangle with the psychedelic essence, i went through a phase of unease, then acceptance, then gnosis.

This experience was everything I hoped it would be. It’s confirmed in me that my meditation practices have made me more comfortable in the psychedelic realm. I am now eager to go deeper and pursue this shamanic path in earnest.

This has confirmed my hypothesis for me- that the best path for my life is one of day to day spiritual practice supplemented by periodic shamanic vision quests with psilocybin.

Peace to All







A love letter

. Love. Love beyond reason or comprehension. Love beyond opposites and limitations. Love beyond borders, beyond boundaries, beyond time and space. Love pervading since before time began, enduring until beyond the ends of the universe. Sentient love.
This is what I feel for you, and this is the heritage of awakening. Know this: the path you have set your feet upon is infinite, and it is unusual. Only one in a million souls begins this journey in any given age. And yet you do not walk alone. There are thousands, millions of us. We are awake. We are aware. We walk alive under the sky illuminated. We inhale love, and we exhale light.

This is the universal brother(sister)hood of light. We are connected to each other and to our source, our creator, the shifting flux of all phenomenon, the universal dreamer.
Every day I walk with you. Along side us walks Lao-Tzu, Jesus Christ, Maharishi, and others whose names are not remembered. We represent the unbroken chain of beings returning to awareness of themselves and their creators; we are the singers of the celestial chorus.
You and I are one being. Every human is one being. We all represent facets of the same cosmic self. Give thanks for every person who you see engaged in self destruction, every junky, every cop and every murderer. These people live out a potentiality of the infinite so YOU don’t have to.

But in some people it is easier to see that kinship. With you, and others, I see myself reflected back, equal but different, and I rejoice. Such beings glow with a luminosity, a halo of light. You are such a being. It is impossible to relate to such people with anything but powerful love.

Rejoice! The heritage you awaken to means an end to all fear. "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Therein lies the peace of God", the journey may be potent, powerful, terrifying... but you are more than safe. You come from, abide in and return to god, the source. Wherefore shall you fear?

I rejoice to think of you walking in love of nature. I suspect that at the very moment that you sat under the sky and looked up at a rainforest moon, I was deep in the forests of Moss Mountain watching the northern lights.

I too have reawakened to the profound holiness of the natural. I have realized that I have been blessed beyond comprehension to have been born in Canada, Canada of the vast and untainted boreal forests, thousands of miles of pristine crystallized GOD, breathing deep the essence of pine trees, climbing high onto the birch, hugging the ground and inhaling the sweet smell of earth, resting my head in moss, smoking deeply by the flowing river..

AWAKE! ALIVE! MY SWEET HOLY GOD IM ALIVE! HALELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE ON HIGH!

Don’t be too put off by my new religious tones. Listen closely: IT IS ALL ONE SONG! ONE CELESTIAL CHORUS EMANATING FROM THE DIVINE SOURCE! HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

Buddha, Lao Tzu, Krishna, Christ, Ian, Daniel, they all play their part, they all reveal their part of the truth.
Breathe IAN! Fill your lungs! prana! Energize your centers! Awaken your chakras! BE HERE NOW! Compassion, joy explosive, hyperawareness, lucidity in dreams and when awake, the immensity of thought, the boundless explosion of hope that transcends all nightmare phantasms.

And so, oh nameless, luminous being of light and energy, formerly known as IAN, know this: your email of awakening has brought me joy eruptive. Joy transcendent. Never have I felt so fully connected to any being through the medium of email. My soul vibrates.
Welcome to the brotherhood. You shall never again walk alone.



Moss

Nothing can go wrong and there is nothing, ultimately, to fear.

We come from god, exist in god and return to god.

Surrendering ourselves to god's will, all that is left is to inhale and exhale love for eternity.


The awakened person is like a plant. Nothing to do but soak up the rays.

Benevolence is everywhere.

Look! Even know he is raining down treasure from heaven.

look!







Happy New Years

Info smear:

It is highly advised that you do everything in your power to approach your own personal escape velocity.

Make no mistake: there is a form of social/political/emotional/control "gravity" holding your mind in place that is every bit as real and powerful as the physical gravity that holds objects bound to the earth.


(Earthbound angels awake!)



You must make a choice, if not today, if not tomorrow... sometime, weather you are content to let your consciousness remain at its metaphorically terrestrial level, or if you will make that terrifying, dizzying, irreversible blast into cognitive outer space.

At this point, i am not talking about dropping acid or eating a quarter ounce of mushrooms, although those metaprogramming tools may well be necessary parts of your escape program.

What i am talking about is a sustained, consciously guided and irreversible transition, by phases, leaps and bounds, into brand spanking new cognitive territory.



Such a change will reflect on every level of your perceived existence. I am talking about unconstrained, vast thought, widened, heightened perceptions, opening yourself to information signals you previously ignored or denied the existence of.





Physically, you may make the change from conditional or compromised health to "perfect health, pure and invincible"

I promise you, you may attain increasing degrees of "parkour" being unconstrained movement, total freedom of direction, the ability to overcome any obstacle on any level, physical or mental. I’m talking about walking on walls and jumping over cars, baby, and your belief or lack thereof is at this point irrelevant (to me, but very much relevant to you)



2004 was the year of the drunken monkey. Our (my) only evolutionary prerogative was to get funky, get fucked up and go swerving. This was a necessary meta-programing step representing the casting off of social constraints and the embracing of individual freedom.





2005 was the year of the rooster, the obvious evolutionary message being "wake up! Wake up! karoookaw! Sunrise!" ... this represented the final acceptance of new, deeper levels of experiential reality. at this point we were not yet ready to fully accept the implications of that awakening... the point was to accept its reality and prepare ourselves , now that we were awake, to GET THE FUCK OUT OF BED



welcome to 2006, the year of the dog. Prepare to lose whatever grasp you might have on my rant at this point. 2006 is the year that those who are awakening will begin to receive in greater frequency and clarity, telepathic messages from extraterrestrial intelligences residing in the local of Sirius, the Dog Star.

In all likelihood, there will be no indication that these messages are "extraterrestrial"... they will appear as meaningfull lyrics in a song played at just the right time... words in a book that almost burn your eyes with there personal relevance to your own existential mystery... a thought in your own head that shocks you with the scope of its epiphany... a dream so vivid and meaningfull that it makes you awake to a lasting sense of awe...

these and more are the forms of the new transmissions. Opening ourselves to these transmissions may well be the underlying goal of all occult and metaphysical practices, from psychedelic drugs to meditation to whatever the fuck helps you throw off your cognitive/experiential chains.

We are now escaping the gravity well... it gets a bit chilly outside the womb, and many will be tempted to sink back into the warm comfortable oblivion.

FIGHT YOUR OWN WILL TO NOTHINGNESS

YOUR DESTINY IS INFINITE

YOUR CONCIOUSNESS COSMIC

welcome to the year of the dog

(i believe nothing. i know nothing. Every map of reality is just a tool. Every belief system is shed like skin from a snake, making way for greater growth. All that I say today will be invalidated by greater truths revealed tomorrow. All that matters is that you ride the crest of your own wave courageously and without hesitation. fear is poison, stamp it out. That alone is half the battle.)

And remember:

OPEN UP

LET GO

OBLITERATE YOUR SELF

ANHILATE YOURSELF

YOU ARE THE ONLY OBSTACLE TO INFINITY

END

YOUR

SELF.

End info smear.








disclaimer: there is nothing new under the sun. I am not preaching that the nature of fundamental reality is undergoing a change. I am simply sticking a sign in the sand. The finger points to "freedom" ...



I’m Just a Dreamer

First off, as a disclaimer: the following story is a true account of exactly what i experienced and how I experienced it.

Have you ever heard someone say that lucid dreaming (the practice of conscious dreaming) can make you go crazy? Usually if I tell someone about my lucid dreaming there like "hey man be careful i know a guy who went crazy from doing that"

well... they may be right. Lucid dreaming is a very, very deep rabbit hole.

here’s my story.


Begin:

I was in a skateboarding "dish" you know those bowls of concrete for skateboarding in? and there was all these skin heads injecting heroin and fighting and skating... a sketchy scene. Soon enough one of them noticed me and started shouting at me and then tried to hit me with his board.

So I started running... came to a cliff edge, jumped and flew...

then I woke up.

It was a dream. Now I’m in bed. I get up and walk out into my hallway. My dad is there, getting ready to vacuum. So I tell him all about this dream I had, and he’s nodding and not all that interested...

then I wake up.

It was a dream. Now I’m in bed. I get up, and walk around, and my friend Alex comes over. he has this whole collection of crazy pipes he just bought, so we sit in my room and smoke out of them, and well we smoke I tell him all about my dreams, both the first one, and about how I woke up into another dream and told my dad about it, and he’s all like "whoa man, that is TRIPPY" ... then I’m like...

wait a minute. Didn’t you quit smoking?

And then I woke up.

It was a dream.

Now I’m in bed. VERY FUCKING CONFUSED. I just had 3 dreams within dreams, and not only that but I told people about the dreams in dreams... I pinch myself. I check the light switch. I confirm that I am now awake. But I feel really sketchy.

so i eat breakfast and get on the bus, same bus i take to school every day. but today there is this fat, ugly handicapped person, I cant even tell the gender, sitting on the bus. i have never seen this person before. I sit down on the far side of the back bench where she is sitting and look out the window, not wanting to look at this poor person.

But s/he gets my attention and goes.. "Hi... do you like Ozzy Ozbourne?"

(I don’t) but I say: "yeah"

then she looks right at me and says "my favorite song is "dreamer"... "

then she starts singing, in this slow, weird way

"I’m just a dreamer.... dreaming my life away"

she sang that the whole bus ride.


I was FREAKING OUT.

That part wasn’t a dream.



Just wanted to share that

Gomp’s response:
”neat post! 

BTW: I had just finished listening to Ozzy Osborne - Dreamer, then the song changed to Live - Overcome, when i opened your post and started reading.. Just found it hilarious! with the girl on the bus and all ..”



Choosing Truth

basically I’m interested in the idea of truth as something to be consciously chosen rather than deduced or discovered... here me out on this

it seems to me that everyone has their own beliefs about reality and truth, right? and those beliefs influence not only how those people act, but also kind of open up the possibility of various powers and skills, no what i mean?

I mean here’s a few examples:

you got one guy who believes in hard science and empiricism and rationalism... so he gets into physics and becomes a N.A.S.A rocket scientist and develops these amazing intellectual capacities which eventually allow him to perform the incredible feat of making a working space shuttle

another guy believes in Taoism and goes into meditation, martial arts and say, Reiki. he learns all these bizarre physical powers, talents etc and becomes a chi master who can heal the sick with his hands and do amazing physical things...

then you got another guy who believes in shamanism and the spirit world etc... and takes psychedelics and does drumming and learns shamanic healing and soon he can heal himself and maybe others, summon spirits for his own guidance, and practice astral flying...

all three of these people believe totally different and totally contradictory things. Conventional thinking would say they can’t all be "right"

But I would say they can. because, all of there conflicting beliefs nevertheless allow them access to powers and abilities and experiences they would otherwise not have had...

so what I’m thinking is, rather than nail yourself down to the truth you "believe in" , think about truth as something you choose

you could even do it ass backwards. rather than believing something then following it to its conclusion which allows you to do something like fly a rocket ship, astral project or break cement with your hands, choose an ability you think is cool, then get into the path that teaches it, and eventually through practice learn to experience those truths for yourself

I do this. Like, I see a figure I really admire, like Bruce lee or Tony Jaa or dalai lama, and I see that they have very unique powers, physically , emotionally or spiritually . to me the fact that their personal paths convey these powers to them is enough reason for me to accept there validity.

Anyways, what I’m saying is, there is no one truth, and no one path, and nailing yourself into one is just stupid, pragmatically speaking.

Furthermore, you can actually choose your beliefs and then bring them into your life, rather than deducing your beliefs from your life.

People experienced in chaos magic already know about this "paradigm piracy"

but it works for everyone.

Peace


3 ways to God
in my copy to the Bagavad Gita, (I probably spelled that wrong) there is a quotation that basically says there are 3 ways to god.

The first way is I AM. This is the realization that you ultimately are god and then following the path of reclaiming/experiencing that godhead. Becoming god in flesh.

The second way is Thou art. This is the realization that all is god and their is nothing that is not god. Thus you surrender yourself utterly to god and basically give up your ego and identity, thus experiencing the truth of god.

The third way is I am and thou art. This I guess is the idea that their is a god, and you are NOT him, and then devoting your life to serving and worshiping that god.

According to the author, any one of these three ways, if perfected, leads to the same divine destination.

Just wanted to share that because I thought it was interesting and to me it makes some sense. Personally I am leaning to the first and second paths, and away from the third, but as the author says, they can all
work.

I think of it like this: take a piece of paper and draw a large circle with a small circle inside of it. say that your ego/identity is the small circle, limitation, and the large circle is unlimited god (pretend the larger circle is unlimitedly large)

so the first way, I AM, would be to constantly expand the borders of your ego circle through self perfection and raising personal power, to the ultimate goal of making your little circle as big as the big circle and thus basically become the big circle, GOD.

the second way , thou art, is like erasing your little circle and thus all that is left is the big circle, god.

And the third way is like the little circle worshiping and pleasing the big circle until the big circle deems the little circle worthy of being accepted and absorbed into it.

I don’t know if that made any sense to any body but hey, i try.

food for thought.

peace

The Pineal Gland

the pineal gland is a very interesting thing.

it produces a natural DMT like substance in your body, a powerful hallucinogenic that may be part of the dreaming process. that alone is great, that your brain has a natural organ that squirts us with potent psychedelics on a nightly basis... 

other interesting things: the location of the pineal gland is the exact location of the esoteric "third eye" which is supposed to signify/generate Tran physical perception... psychic sight or whatever

and this is cool: Tibetan Buddhism believes that the fetus in the mothers womb does not have a soul until the 49th day of life, which is coincidently the day the pineal gland is formed in the fetus.

as to how to "get in touch with it" start getting to know your dreams, as they could be interpreted as gateways into the world of the pineal gland...

also some sects of Buddhism and mysticism practice meditating on the pineal gland, which means trying to focus your awareness on that spot. Close your eyes and focus on the blackness between them. Just keep meditating on that or else visualize a bright white ball between your eyes.


“If you don’t want everything you identify with to be destroyed in entropy…


Then you must begin waking up..." - star seed transmissions

what exactly do you find so hard to believe?

You’ve all heard it by now. A big change is coming. A huge shift of consciousness washing over us, a new age for humanity. A lot of you, quite logically, say ?says who? And why? Based on what evidence? What is this shift anyways? What the hell are you talking about?!?

It’s really not that complicated, far fetched or scary. It goes something like this. Individuals across the globe, alone and on their own, are beginning to feel that something is wrong, something is missing, and something is not as it should be, in their lives and in the world.

This alone is nothing new. Dissatisfaction, depression, confusion, feelings of being imprisoned, or of missing out on something just beneath the surface, have been widespread for? well probably forever.

many people are slowly waking up and realizing what has been missing. The constant search for meaning has taken a dramatic and wonderful new turn. No longer satisfied with the worn out, increasingly useless solutions of institutions like the church and government, this new generation of seekers is finding their own answers. Or rather, someone or something is giving them to us.

You’ve heard of the expression? A hole in your life? Well for a long time various people have been trying to tell us how to fill that hole. Just accept god, go to church, or maybe get a good job and get married? I don't need to point out to you that this is not and has never been enough. (Actually accepting god isn't as far off as you might think? but forget that for now)

This is because what we are missing is not an accomplishment, a person, or a possession. What we have lost is the true knowledge of who we are. We are like people dreaming we are mice, afraid, impotent, constantly scurrying about for crumbs and fleeing from predators. What a relief it would be to wake up from such a dream! Well? The difference between being a mouse and being a human is nothing compared to the difference between the humanity we feel trapped by to the humanity we are now preparing to transform into.

The transformation of consciousness is at once something that we choose to embrace, and something that comes upon us of its own accord? it is a flame in the night, a ghost in the dark. When we feel most alone, confused and helpless is when it is most apt to well up within us.

The transformation cannot be explained in words, but words can paint a vague picture. It is a freedom from the slavery we have imposed on ourselves. It is a freedom from the poisons of fear, guilt, shame, inadequacy, confusion, self destruction, and basically an end to the impulses of negation, of death.

It is embracing the healing energies of love, praise and gratitude. It is like waking up from a nightmare and laughing long and hard at the silly imaginings we were fleeing from.

It is like seeing the sun come up over the horizon to warm your face after a dark, cold night.

Forget for a moment anything you’ve heard about the nature of reality changing, the laws of physics breaking down, or anything like that. All that matters now is that you understand that the primary and initial change is one in the way we think and perceive reality. Not even the most skeptical of you will doubt that we can change that at least, and once you do? The rest will follow.

A big part of the change comes from living in the present moment. This is something you’ve all heard ad nauseum. Be here now. Live in the moment, etc. It is repeated often because it is so very true and so very, very powerful.

The present instant, this moment, the NOW, is a gate, a doorway into unimaginable joy. Let me ask you something. If you were to list the emotions that keep you from happiness, the emotions you would rather do without? Would it go something like this? : Shame. Guilt. Doubt. Fear. Anxiety. Confusion.

For me, none of those are desirable mental states. NONE OF THEM EXIST IN THE PRESENT INSTANT. You either dwell in the past, on your old mistakes and disappointments, the things you did wrong, or the things that went wrong, and feel guilt or shame or disappointment (the poisons of the past) or else you dwell on imagined anxieties of the future? what if I fail class? Will I pass that test? Will I get cancer? Will the terrorists attack? What about nuclear bombs? These are the poisons of the future.

In the present moment, there is none of that shit. In the present moment, there is only perfection, gods will manifesting in its sublime, transcendent excellence. Everything in the present moment is as it should be. All your pain, all your fear, all your STRESS, is a self inflicted illusion. This moment is god’s heartbeat, and if you can stop your own mental dialogue and listen to it, all your shit will melt away and you will feel just fine.

That's another piece of the puzzle, one that is falling in place for those who are ready. The deeper essence of reality. What is reality? We ask ourselves. Is it this hand, this cup, this wall, that color, those people, this feeling, that emotion? Is that reality? No. that is no more reality than bubbles in a stream are the stream itself.

Reality is something like a white light. It contains within it every possible hue of the spectrum, but it is itself invisible. Reality is the Tao, the infinite, it is god. All the particulars, the objects, the people, the feelings and places, are like fleeting dreams of god, like bubbles rising for a brief instant then disappearing in the stream. This stream, this light, this Tao, this god, is infinite in its power and its benevolence.

Yes, benevolence! It nourishes EVERYTHING that lives. It creates all and sustains all. It is love. It is LOVE! And it is power.

A part of what is happening is that we are remembering, rediscovering this life, this pulse, this god, this thing that is as far from what we used to call reality as a sketch of a dog is from the living article. Infinitely farther than that in fact.

It is important to realize that our attention is a thing of immense power. Whatever we focus our attention on, we and reality for that time becomes. Focus on your pain, hook your attention on pain, and you become pain, and your reality becomes pain. Hook your attention on the light, the love, the present, the Tao, god, and you become god, and your reality becomes god.

Can you imagine giving up your past? Can you conceive of letting go of everything you have ever known, experienced or believed? Can you drop your memories, the good and the bad, the sweet and the sad, like the accumulated dust they are?

Can you surrender your hopes, your fears, and your dreams of the future? Can you let go of all your wishes, your imaginings, your expectations? Can you, in other words, be in this world and not of it?

Does that idea scare you? Fear is the guardian at the gate of change. Push through fear, defeat it, and you will always find love on the other side.

I repeat myself: your attention is immensely powerful. Anything in your life that hurts or haunts you is there only because you are clinging to it with your attention. Do you suffer? You are like a man who screams in pain even as he hugs a roll of barb wire like it is his most precious treasure. You are like a junky, who shivers in sickness even as he injects more poison into his veins. Let go. It is illusion. It is chaff. It is like dust on your window, wipe it away and let in the light.

Yes, windows and lights. I remind you briefly that words are symbols and metaphors, not truth. Nothing I have said here is truth, not one word of it. My hope is that if I throw enough metaphors at you, you may intuit the truth, or some small aspect of it.

I repeat that god, the Tao, the source, the light, is what gives rise to all things you perceive. Imagine then that you are a man made of glass, with your back turned to god and your eyes on the ground at your feet. What you see is your personal reality. If you are dirty and smudged with your own mental filth, gods pure light will shine through you and leave a smudged and grey light at your feet, and that is your reality.

If you can make yourself clean, by letting go of your fears and your doubts and your guilt’s, and all your shit, then god’s light will shine in you and through you and your reality, the light at your feet, will be pure and good and joyous.


More metaphors: many of you feel, or have felt, that your life is like a nightmare, a frightening and disturbing reality that you cannot escape. You are pursued, you are lost, you try to scream and no words come out. And indeed you are right! Your life IS a nightmare! It is scary, it is horrible, and it is a complete illusion.

As in a nightmare, if you can realize that you are asleep, all your fears melt away, relief washes over you, you remember you are not in the maw of a monster but safe and warm in bed! This is truth. You are, always have been and always will be safe and warm in gods embrace. You can never be otherwise. But until you stop your own personal dream, your own self created nightmare, you will not know it, and certainly you can’t enjoy it.

So? This is something, some hint, some small aspect, and some miniscule piece of the transformation that some of us, many of us, more of us everyday, are beginning to undergo.

It is like waking up from a nightmare. It is like the sun rising in the night. It is letting go of illusions. It is dropping our illusory sense of past and future and the guilt and anxiety that comes with it. It is returning to the eternal, ever present, and benevolent now. It is remembrance of god, and realization of our own true natures. It is freedom.

If none of what I have said makes any sense, fine. If it is bullshit to you, great! It matters not. My words are just one small, inarticulate voice echoing down into a dark chasm where so many people still live. But more voices will join mine, louder and clearer, and more light will shine into the chasm, and its inhabitants will grow more and more restless, and as the little light that shines down illuminates the steep walls surrounding them, they will start to see a path up and out, and we will all, together, begin to climb.

There is nothing to fear. All your pain is an illusion. The future is incredibly happy. It is not too good to be true. Nothing is impossible. All your prisons are self created. You are all gods and god is all of us. The only way out is up.

If your games still satisfy you, by all means keep playing for as long as you want. There is no hurry. There is no rush. We will all get where we are going, because we are already there, we never left.

Peace.



Added note: in the coming years, there will be a steady increase of conflict, violence, fear etc... Sort of. Within the one great loving light of god are many possible vibration levels that we can choose to inhabit. The violence and trauma are occurring at the lower vibration levels, which are inhabited by the fearful and destructive. The reason for this seeming increase in trauma is that these lower vibration levels are collapsing in on themselves. If you can raise your mind out of these lower levels, you will not be affected or touched by any of the trauma going on in the world, quite the opposite, you will perceive a steady increase in positive change.

Apocalypse and Eschaton, utopia and dystopia , will occur simultaneously. Which one do you want to inhabit? Which would you rather experience? “if everything you identify with is not to be destroyed in entropy, you must begin waking up"

This is like the believers being called up to heaven before the end times... sort of. If you are still enslaved in your nightmares, be prepared to deal with the fear and pain in them. Alternatively, you can





WAKE UP



take it, leave it, buy it, fuck it... i make no promises, only suggestions



Binary

”as above, so below”
This ancient axiom hold true in countless instances. One thing that comes to my mind is how this can be seen in relation to the cycle of birth and death.

Within our own bodies we can see that every heart beat is followed by a rest. each inhalation is followed by an exhalation. Moving up in the scale we see the cycle of the sun. It rises and sets. then the seasons flow cyclically. Winter brings temporary death, and spring a renewal of growth.

Continuing still upwards we see how the universe itself expands out into infinity before collapsing back into itself.

No matter what the scale, the same basic forces pulse with a similar rhythm. Positive and negative, birth and death. The universe itself has a heartbeat that directly mirrors our own.

To me this is a sound reason to believe in the rebirth of the soul, reincarnation after death.

This body is no more 'us' than a heartbeat or a breath. We don’t cry when a cell in our body passes away, only to be instantly replaced. We don’t cry with each pause between renewed heartbeats. We don’t sob when the sun goes down, because we know it will rise again. We slog though the cold winter assured of the coming spring. Even as the universe itself collapses into itself, a rebirth of all things is imminent.

So rest easy. On the cosmic scale of your soul, the death of this body is no more final or tragic than the breath you just let out, the brief pause between heat beats,, or the setting of the sun.

As above, so below. Rebirth follows death.


Thanks for reading

Love

i read the whole post.

and i've read gobs of this same sort of rhetoric before.

it's good because it's freeflowing and honest, rather than reserved or too studied. nor is it just another regurgitation of other trendy new age doctrine.

it's not totally mindblowing or advanced with sophistication, but most of it is undeniably TRUE.

To me, it is obvious by reading this that you are capable of Pure Thought.

And all Living Wisdom is nothing more than Pure Thought.

you still have some remembering to do
and so do i
otherwise we'd have passed on by now

as soon as we pass on, suddenly a new knowledge comes to grapple with
the pearl becomes more perfectly rounded
more perfectly shiney
to magnify the Light of the Holy Spirit that flares and sputters like the face of the sun

we can help each other remember
that is the whole purpose of the family unity

Father wakes up mother, so maybe she can fix a sack lunch, or give a kiss, or maybe drive him to work.
Mother wakes up the children, rise & shine, time for breakfast then off to school.

Whenever we sleep our memory atrophies, this is why we have prayer, and family, and meditation.


also, i noticed your story about eating mushrooms at a young age.
the same thing happened to me.
when i was 13 i took some cookies from the cookie jar at my sisters boyfriends house.
they were mushroom cookies.
the walls turned into rainbows, and i was scared.
i played with drums & the xylophone all night, to feel safe, connected, and coherent, remembering simple ancient tones, harmony, and rhythms.

"what's with all the cute animals? Especially that Albino gorilla ?"

two reasons

1. to break up an intimidatingly long post into readable sections and relieve the seriousness with humour

and

2. to visually express that part of the cosmic dream that i most identify with: that part of life that is fun, beautifull, humourous, playful and carefree.

I guess the animals present a simplified version of my whole philosophy.

if you can feel like this kitten:



then your getting where you want to be.

Every day that i am aware of the topic i feel a little more like that cat.


peace

Being one with God and being God are two different things. God is more than just you, so you obviously are not God, yet all is encompassed within you, so you obviously are one with God. A branch is not the tree, but it is one with the tree.

I made this original compilation of posts seven years ago.

I stumbled across it recently and wondered how much of it I still relate to.

Now I feel I am less exuberant in my philosophy, focusing more on discipline, structure and practice instead of relentless optimism and emotionally extravagant declarations. These older posts read like I was channeling some kind of high energy spirit, and maybe that's what I thought  at the time.


Now I realize what really matters is to practice. To get serious about the actual techniques and technologies that lead to spiritual growth, liberation, and ascension.

The kind of new-age rhetoric these posts convey is useful in so far as it can catalyze excitement and energy, enthusiasm and hope.

But that enthusiasm is only beneficial if it leads to solid practice- the bread and butter of the spiritual life.

One can go on and on in this vein, but if one does not sit down in lotus position and commence meditation, practice yoga, pranayama breathing, the techniques of lucid dreaming, and the chanting of mantras, all such declarations of spiritual insight are impotent.

The truly dedicated practitioner is sparing with his or her words, knowing that actions speak louder. Although such words can point the way, one must still walk the path, not simply talk about it.

One cannot convince oneself or others of these spiritual realities through words alone, only experience can make them real, and only practice can bring about that experience.

However, for those who have not yet intuited the direction of this process, such words may kindle a spark, a curiosity and interest that may in due time lead to that individual beginning to walk their own path.

These words are full of the exuberance of youth. Today I am a sterner man, as interested in doomsday prepping and freeze dried food supplies as I am with conscious co-creation of my own magical reality.

Yet the two go hand in hand. The ideal is to have ones head in the clouds of the supernal realms, but ones feet firmly planted in the shared world of human experience.

Please forgive me for necromancing this ancient thread, but I thought some might find it interesting, a window into a time many years ago, when a young man began to formulate a spiritual philosophy that has continued to evolve for almost a decade since.

I thank the shroomery for preserving these thoughts from so long ago, and I hope that some may enjoy reading them, or rereading them, as I have.

Namaste

This is where age comes in imo.  Time to live and have lots of experiences and maybe to become more honest with yourself.  Because most are young here and it is in youth itself where we most often think we know just about everything that's really really going on, we discount the idea that down the road 20 or 40 years most of what we think we know today will or may turn out to be mostly hot air. 

If you really are wise then you'll (not you in particular) quit sticking your foot in your mouth so often by using these three little letters, (IMO)

Pretty honest of you to post this.:thumbup:

Remembering your "god" seems so cliche nowadays.

Just be present with no attachment to form, like thoughts about being god, and you are it.

When you realize you're it you're no longer it.

It's always an interesting moment in a young man's life when he realises that people 20+ years older than him aren't all crazy burnouts but may have actually considered the same issues as him at length.

two reasons

1. to break up an intimidatingly long post into readable sections and relieve the seriousness with humour

2. to visually express that part of the cosmic dream that i most identify with: that part of life that is fun, beautifull, humourous, playful and carefree.

I guess the animals present a simplified version of my whole philosophy.

Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.

(And how you can too)




Ok guys. A long time ago I became aware of “the topic”. I call it the topic because it is as broad as the universe and as infinite as god, and any name is not its true name.

The topic deals with who we are, where we came from, where we are going, and the choices and options that we may not realize are available to us. The topic deals with remembering your divinity, with taking control of your life, and with reconnecting with an infinitely wise and infinitely loving intelligence, that many would call God.

The topic is something that can not be experienced unless it is approached on all levels, thought, word and deed. It must be read about, and talked about, but also lived.

What I have collected here is The first 25 pages of a transmission that I received from the universal brotherhood of light, from god, or from deep aspect of my unconscious mind.

I am posting it because I feel that this information, this outlook on life, is the main reason that I currently reside in heaven on earth. I feel that this “topic” is what has allowed me to live in a world of continuous bliss and love and peace and happiness and adventure, punctuated by moments of bittersweet but still precious tragedy or grief. This topic has allowed me to transform my life beyond imagination

AND IT CAN DO THE SAME FOR YOU

The temple of knowledge has many doors. This is only one of them, and if you do not identify with what I am saying, do not worry. God speaks with EVERY voice, and sooner or later you’ll find one your willing to listen to. You cannot fail in your quest, only choose how long it takes you.

What follows are a series of “transmissions” that I received over the last 2 years. All of them were marked by feelings of euphoria, extasy, love and excitement, and all of them were written “free flow” as automatic writing.

Most have been posted at some time before. If you have already read one entry, skip ahead.

If something bores you, or doesn’t make sense, skip ahead and come back later.

If your not interested, go do something else.

I love you, and I honestly believe that if you read with an open mind, you will find at least one idea that transforms your conception of reality.

Enjoy

The church of dan







Fantasize

Ok. Take a deep relaxing breath and free your mind with groovy vibrations.

Good.

Now we are going to play a little game.

Close your eyes and imagine that you are a being of infinite and cosmic power. This isn’t some stupid new age visualization, don’t worry. Just pretend for a moment that you could do anything, your power is godlike.

What do you do? Just let your imagination run wild and make a list.


Here is mine:

-save and restore earth’s natural garden, save the endangered species.
-find true love
-find infinite happiness
-find unlimited perception
-bring help to the needy, healing to the sick, food to the hungry etc
-overthrow all evil governments
-stop all exploitation and slavery

etc.

Now seriously, it’s fun. Make your own list.

Chances are, unless you’re a complete bore, that you have some pretty wicked stuff on that list.

Now imagine instead of asking you, what would you do if you had unlimited power, id said "what do you feel like doing right now?"

Chances are you would say something like "jacking off" "getting some food" "having a shower" maybe "working out" "watching TV"
etc.


Compare the two lists. Which one is more exciting? Which one is more inspiring? Which one gives you more motivation?

Here is my point: it is essential to begin thinking as if you could do anything, because otherwise, well, you’ll be a fucking boring, underachieving person, or at least, that’s the extreme end of too little capacity to dream.


Now look at your first list, your infinite power list, again.

Take mine, which is not un-ambitious, as an example. EVERYTHING on that list is at least to some unknown degree in my power to achieve. Happiness, true love, environmental protection, the overthrow of tyranny, healing to the sick... all of these things I have as a conventional human being the power to influence.

Yet without that first inspirational thought "what if I could do anything" I would not have let my mind dream so big.

Thought without action is impotent, but thought is the ROOT of all action, and without right thought, right action is impossible.

What I’m pointing out is an alternative to the limited state of consciousness represented by the question "what do I feel like doing", which is the state of consciousness represented by the question "what is my deepest, most potent desire?"

The point is, living as if you were a demi-god isn’t just occult truth. It’s psychological and pragmatic good sense.

So stop selling yourself short.

Why and How


Many of you have glasses or wear contacts. You are familiar with that unique sensation of putting on that device and having your whole world clarified, your sensory experience becomes sharper, deeper, more vibrant and more beautiful.

If you had never worn glasses, you could never imagine how much of life’s richness you were missing out on, how much more was going on around you then you were capable of perceiving.

This transformation of perception has much in common with the changes that occur in ones consciousness during the process of spiritual awakening.

The world becomes more alive, more glorious, sensations are sharpened, and each instant is viewed with a sense of love and amazement. Each human face that passes by seems neither like a dull, meaningless occurrence nor even as a possible source for reproduction/danger/profit etc…

Rather each face that passes, and indeed each moment of experience, begins to seem a shattering miracle, a piece of art so potent that it borders on pain…

Just as in the experience of the person who puts on his glasses for the first time, it is not possible to understand what you are missing out on unless you take that first leap of faith, trusting that your glasses will indeed help your condition.

That this method, wearing glasses, will work, you cannot KNOW until you try
Therefore, the first act in any spiritual or healing process is some act of faith
In the case of glasses, it may not be very hard to muster the faith required to take the first because you have heard from hundreds of people how well glasses work

I would like to suggest that the techniques of achieving spiritual clarity
Which is innately joyous, healing and indeed pleasant
Are numerous and well known
And have been practiced for thousands of years successfully

Of course, any process requires some dedication, some commitment, and some passion
But if you ask, it shall be given
And if you seek, you shall find.

Meditate.
Energize the energy centers of your subtle body.
Practice zazen, pranayama, breath or concentration.
Practice dance, martial arts, yoga.
Learn to silence your inner dialogue, even for moments at a time
Earnestly seek contact with the logos
Pray.
Say prayers of gratitude, love, and praise.
Let your only supplicatory prayers be prayers to know god, love god, praise god more deeply.
Trust in your intuitions.
Be aware of the interactive nature of your experience.
Know that what you cultivate in your soul and mind will be loosed in your experience.
Don’t delude yourself. Any hateful thought, vengeful thought, obsessive thought, fearful thought and every greedy thought will impact every aspect of your experience.
So will every positive thought.
Don’t indulge in pessimism.
Practice informed shamanic plant gnosis.
LOVE
LOVE EVERYTHING
LOVE EVERYONE
Stop inhibiting yourself
Express your uniqueness
DON’T CONFORM
Know that you are created by an intelligence that is perfect
Thus, you are perfect.
Stop striving.
Don’t DO things. ALLOW things to happen.
Be a polished mirror.
Exercise physically.
Drink enough water.
As above so below.
Believe in and DEMAND experiential justification for your beliefs.
Experience Nature.
Don’t let other people decide your reality.
Take responsibility.
Groove.
Be gnarly.
PLAY.
Be innocent
Stop judging
STOP JUDGING ANYTHING
Stop judging yourself
Don’t measure progress
Experience the instant
When you say yes to that instant
You say yes to all of eternity








Crisp Morning Air


Listen, if you care.

Your consciousness is unlimited. Reality is your play thing. I am not saying that there is some mystical path that will lead you to realization of godhood and an escape from the dross of physical existence.

Rather, you are already gods, exercising in every instant your inborn right and ability to create your experience. Everything you’ve ever complained about you did to yourself. This is true whether you live in a worldly paradise or a living hell.

Reality is what you perceive. You have access to a huge variety of perceptions and therefore a huge variety of realities. Regular waking life, intoxications of all kinds, psychedelics, dreams, lucid dreams, astral projections, visualizations, somatic and hypnogogic hallucinations, religious ecstasies, deep trances, heart center, mind center, rational, intuitive, technological worlds, virtual realities.... all of these things exist and all these modalities of experience are available to you.

Moreover, there is a great convergence. Technology has delivered the long promised
Akashic records. It has made telepathy and racial memory a reality. It has given each individual access to the accumulated wisdom of the whole. All the promises of the mystics have been fulfilled and fulfilled again.

Every possible grace and aide you could possibly want or need has been given to you to help you on your spiritual quest, should you choose to begin it,

Dangling before you is the promise to live in the imagination. To create consciously the parameters of your experience, to be at play in the fields of the gods. To have lucid dreams, even when wide awake.

When one begins living in this way, the extraordinary becomes common place. Telepathic and precognitive experiences, extreme synchronicities, sober hallucinations, ever deepening complexity and vividness of awareness and perception... all of this is added to you.

In your hands you hold the key to the door to everything. That door is opening for us all, individually and as a race. The destiny of the planet, the climax of tens of billions of years of consciously guided evolutionary and biological processes... we are living at the cresting of histories wave.

"Whatever you do, don’t be bored, because this is the most interesting time you could possible have hoped to be alive" - waking life.

My message for you all, should anyone care or need to hear it, is that you no longer have any excuse. You could be, can be, will be assuming responsibility for your destiny and the destiny of the planet.

I guess what I’m saying is, something phenomenal is happening here. Something so rich and incredible, an experience so transcendent, that not in our wildest imaginations could we have envisioned it, not in our wildest dreams desired it. yet here it is, before our eyes, filling our lungs with each inhalation. By some gratuitous grace, WE, NOW, are alive, awake, full of the breath of life, and we are offered the chance to participate in the greatest adventure of all... to wed ourselves to the divine, to submerge ourselves in the unspeakable

to speak unto the logos and hear it respond

to look into the depths of eternity and have eternity look into the depths of us

to know ourselves

to create ourselves

to remember ourselves, again.

i cant make anyone see this who hasn’t already felt it crawling under there skin and behind their eyelids. All I can do is send my voice out in the void to those others who are awakening and say "arise, beloveds! the band is playing! The sun is bright, the day is fresh, the universe an unpainted canvas! Let the dancing and singing begin! The old dreams are ended! The new day has dawned!"









A brief extrapolation:

Don’t get me wrong. We are not the sole manufacturers of our experience, per se. Rather; we are in a partnership with the universal/planetary mind/logos/god. This GOD so to speak is a vast wave of intelligence that encompasses and in fact IS all things. Imagine an endless beam of white light.

The thing about light is that it is invisible. It contains all possibilities but manifests none. Our part is to act as prisms. Each of us is a unique mind therefore a uniquely shaped prism to diffract gods light. Some of us are configured to get green light, others blue so to speak.

In other words, some of us, by nature of how we have shaped our consciousness, manifests the negative potentials of god, other manifest the positive potentials, some manifest heaven realms, others manifest hell.

So even though its true that you don’t create the underlying STUFF of reality, it is ONLY by your partnership and participation with god that your specific experiential reality is created. Everything in your experience, how it appears and how you feel about it, is a result of your configurations.

Another way to look at it is with the hologram metaphor. Your experienced reality is like a hologram. A hologram is formed when two beams of information containing light are shone into each other. The hologram appears where the two beams of light meet. This is the metaphor of your relationship with god, and how it produces your experience. The point is, all it takes is the rearrangement of one of the two beams of light or awareness, to change the whole holographic image.

So in that sense, it can be you,. god has given you the capacity to reengineer your holographic experience, or your perceptual reality, by changing what kind of energy or awareness you are putting out.

Reality is you looking at god and god looking back. But believe Jesus when he says "with faith the size of a mustard seed you could move mountains"

the ultimate nature of reality is mental. The process of secreting your waking experience is quantitatively similar to that involved in secreting dreams. Just as in a dream you are able to manifest a totally immersive, unique , interactive and to all appearances REAL reality, so you do even now in waking life, although the process of manifestation are slower.

This is why learning to lucid dream is a valuable prerequisite to learning to consciously co create your life.

Here is one final metaphor: God is like a broad band radio frequency, or rather, he is like radio wave itself, in all its frequencies. You are the radio. But you control your own dial. In other words, although you don’t create the radio waves, you have total control over which ones you pick up and when. Thus you literally can shift from perceptual reality to perceptual reality, and back again, at will. This is the essence of shamanism and your birthright as an awakened human.

Good luck









My Fungal Romance




(Just sorting out my thoughts I guess, bear with me)

i got into mushrooms early. Very early. In fact, mushrooms were the first drug I ever consumed. More hilariously, i didn’t even know what i had eaten. I was probably 13-14 years old at the time. I was snooping in my brothers room and discovered a small wooden box filled with an unidentified semi-powdered substance. Almost intuitively i proceeded to roll this powder into several amateur joints (at this point i had never even smoked weed).

I took these joints and went with a good friend to a nearby forest area. We smoked two of the joints and had no effect. Almost as an afterthought I pulled one open and ate it. Disappointed, we went our separate ways and went home.

Half an hour later, I was asleep in bed, my novice attempt at drug use forgotten. Then i woke up. My first impression was of a face looking at me. A strange, alien face. My initial shock subsided as I realized that the face was my own reflected in my window. I felt very strange.

I spent a moment in deep confusion, seeming to watch my thoughts as visual bubbles, floating hopelessly away from me. I got up in a state of anxiety and agitation. At no point did I recall the eaten joint of unknown substance or consider that I was having a drug experience. (The powder was dried shrooms, I later confirmed)

feeling disassociated and afraid, I grabbed a brightly colored book from my shelf. It was really stupid one called "police humor" I tried to read it but couldn’t focus on the words. I had the impression that the red cover was blood dripping on my hands.

Then I noticed my fluffy cat Toby sitting on my desk. Glad for his reassuring company I began stroking him. I had the distinct impression that he was looking at my face. Then, to my shock, he turned his head around, AND LOOKED AT MY FACE. In other words it seemed like he had 2 faces.

That’s about the last of the trip I can distinctly remember. The whole thing served to awaken my curiosity about shrooms. I had a series of amazing mushroom experiences over the next few years, few and far between and precious.

At the same time, I was busily devouring all the literature i could find on spirituality, metaphysics, magic, lucid dreaming, astral projection, meditation, tantra et all. I got into pot smoking.

Anyways, all this culminated with a truly bizarre and staggering psychedelic experience when i was perhaps 16 or 17 years old. This one represented for me the first phase of my "psychedelic bar mitzvah" as Terrence McKenna describes it .

Basically, I was at my cabin digesting books such as "the nature of personal reality" "conversations with god " and the Tao Te Ching. I decided to eat some shrooms, the dosage is forgotten, probably 3-5 grams.

Anyways, the trip came on strong and strange. I experienced an overwhelming sensation of speaking with, or more accurately being spoken to, by a powerful and infinitely intelligent presence. It was speaking with great clarity and relevance about all the most important questions in my mind. It spoke about my mental relationship to the world and the true depths of my potential. It really put things in my lap. It said "look, you’re in charge of your dream. NOW WHAT?"

It seemed like a huge load had been put on me. Like I was being forced in one instant to assume responsibility for my whole existential journey. I honestly believe I was catapulted to a level of awakening similar to that of Jesus Christ of the Buddha. I felt like I had a deep understanding of the fundamental mechanics of reality and was actually in my perception able to manifest objects that I desired, such as my hoody, or cause the radio to play songs with my thought.

As this point I began to have a morbid thought. It occurred to me that my dad, who was on his way out to the cabin from the city, was in a car accident. This filled me with huge unease. I tried hard to put the thought out of my mind but it kept reoccurring with greater urgency.

Finally i resolved to call my dads cell. I would just say hi and when i heard his voice id know i was just tripping and could relax. It was all ok. I called. He picks up. "Hi dad, how are you?" his voice sounds shaken "oh, I’m ok Dan. I just hit a bear on the road"

he was ok, the bear maybe not, he didn’t stop to find out. It hit the side of his car, literally walking into it, thus preventing a possibly fatal accident by a fraction of a second.

Anyways, when I heard this my ontology collapsed even more. I saw this as real, objective and indisputable proof of the validity of what the mushroom was telling me. I KNEW my dad was in an accident, and he was. i knew because the mushroom told me. the same mushroom that was telling me things like "you create your own experience" and other reality bending truths.

Anyways, when I came down from that trip, which was so thick with synchronicities and revelations that I won’t relate it all now, my enlightenment faded. i returned to a more normal state but i retained an awareness of the possibilities that lay latent in my consciousness.

So I determined to begin a program of spiritual practice with the goal of being able to maintain a psychedelic state of wisdom in sober day to day life. So I’ve practiced meditation, ritual, lucid dreaming, hyper awareness, yoga and martial arts and achieved many interesting and healing altered states of consciousness in these ways. I’ve also achieved a much greater level of health and happiness in my day of day life.

I have even attained a glimmer of that psychedelic magic in my normal non- shroomed life. It has been almost a year since my last trip.

Now I am coming full circle. I feel that my non mushroom meditation and metaprogramming have served to prepare my nervous system and brain for a more full and meaningfull immersion in the logos. My first trips were undertaken young, perhaps to young to make sense of all the information. My hope is that having prepared myself for this, I will begin a second wave of my shamanic journey that will take me to realms hitherto unknown.

In the next two days i will undergo a classic McKenna style mushroom trip, 3 grams dried, closed eye in partial darkness and relaxing quiet. And i will converse with the universe.

Forgive me for being so dramatic. I’ve been away from mushrooms for so long i guess im talking myself back up to reentering that world. For me, the fear of the mushroom trip is very real and a constant challenge for me in my journeys. I hope my practice in meditation and thought exercises will help me in this.

Anyways, I don’t know if anyone cared about that but what the hell eh?

Peace to all my fellow Psychonauts. Keep hunting the deeper dream.










After

Well, it’s been done. I have dipped again into the shamanic waters and found them glorious.

This morning I awoke to a beautiful sunny day, and I knew the time was right, so I ate my moderate dose of dry psilocybin shrooms at around 8. I took a walk and watched the beautiful trees. I strolled casually until I began to feel the onset of the trip, fairly fast approaching. Then I walked home and retired to my room.

I put on a shamanic trance CD to guide me through the first nauseous waves and into the psychedelic space beyond. The trip was potent, present, but manageable. I felt comfortable in the realms presented to me. Almost immediately dystrophic and morbid thoughts and images arose to my closed eyes and mind. I watched them with interest. Each seemed to have a direct message for me, and by allowing them to rise and dissipate felt healing, like I was purging my mental stockpiles of nightmares and obsessions.

With eyes open, I soon came to perceive an intricate web of shifting light tendrils, definitely visible but subtle and ethereal, curling with a definite animation and intelligence.

With my eyes closed, I began to see strange glyph like encrustments of information, something like Terrance McKenna’s 3d language. I practiced shamanic glossolalia, or improv chanting, and found that this had an obvious impact on my closed eye visuals. When I chanted, the visuals became more intricate and potent, when I stopped they receded.

I lay in bed for a long time, feeling like I was on a psychotherapists couch. Issues were presented to me, analyzed, and resolved. With each tangle with the psychedelic essence, i went through a phase of unease, then acceptance, then gnosis.

This experience was everything I hoped it would be. It’s confirmed in me that my meditation practices have made me more comfortable in the psychedelic realm. I am now eager to go deeper and pursue this shamanic path in earnest.

This has confirmed my hypothesis for me- that the best path for my life is one of day to day spiritual practice supplemented by periodic shamanic vision quests with psilocybin.

Peace to All,

DC






A love letter

. Love. Love beyond reason or comprehension. Love beyond opposites and limitations. Love beyond borders, beyond boundaries, beyond time and space. Love pervading since before time began, enduring until beyond the ends of the universe. Sentient love.
This is what I feel for you, and this is the heritage of awakening. Know this: the path you have set your feet upon is infinite, and it is unusual. Only one in a million souls begins this journey in any given age. And yet you do not walk alone. There are thousands, millions of us. We are awake. We are aware. We walk alive under the sky illuminated. We inhale love, and we exhale light.

This is the universal brother(sister)hood of light. We are connected to each other and to our source, our creator, the shifting flux of all phenomenon, the universal dreamer.
Every day I walk with you. Along side us walks Lao-Tzu, Jesus Christ, Maharishi, and others whose names are not remembered. We represent the unbroken chain of beings returning to awareness of themselves and their creators; we are the singers of the celestial chorus.
You and I are one being. Every human is one being. We all represent facets of the same cosmic self. Give thanks for every person who you see engaged in self destruction, every junky, every cop and every murderer. These people live out a potentiality of the infinite so YOU don’t have to.

But in some people it is easier to see that kinship. With you, and others, I see myself reflected back, equal but different, and I rejoice. Such beings glow with a luminosity, a halo of light. You are such a being. It is impossible to relate to such people with anything but powerful love.

Rejoice! The heritage you awaken to means an end to all fear. "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Therein lies the peace of God", the journey may be potent, powerful, terrifying... but you are more than safe. You come from, abide in and return to god, the source. Wherefore shall you fear?

I rejoice to think of you walking in love of nature. I suspect that at the very moment that you sat under the sky and looked up at a rainforest moon, I was deep in the forests of Moss Mountain watching the northern lights.

I too have reawakened to the profound holiness of the natural. I have realized that I have been blessed beyond comprehension to have been born in Canada, Canada of the vast and untainted boreal forests, thousands of miles of pristine crystallized GOD, breathing deep the essence of pine trees, climbing high onto the birch, hugging the ground and inhaling the sweet smell of earth, resting my head in moss, smoking deeply by the flowing river..

AWAKE! ALIVE! MY SWEET HOLY GOD IM ALIVE! HALELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE ON HIGH!

Don’t be too put off by my new religious tones. Listen closely: IT IS ALL ONE SONG! ONE CELESTIAL CHORUS EMANATING FROM THE DIVINE SOURCE! HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

Buddha, Lao Tzu, Krishna, Christ, Ian, Daniel, they all play their part, they all reveal their part of the truth.
Breathe IAN! Fill your lungs! prana! Energize your centers! Awaken your chakras! BE HERE NOW! Compassion, joy explosive, hyperawareness, lucidity in dreams and when awake, the immensity of thought, the boundless explosion of hope that transcends all nightmare phantasms.

And so, oh nameless, luminous being of light and energy, formerly known as IAN, know this: your email of awakening has brought me joy eruptive. Joy transcendent. Never have I felt so fully connected to any being through the medium of email. My soul vibrates.
Welcome to the brotherhood. You shall never again walk alone.



Moss

Nothing can go wrong and there is nothing, ultimately, to fear.

We come from god, exist in god and return to god.

Surrendering ourselves to god's will, all that is left is to inhale and exhale love for eternity.


The awakened person is like a plant. Nothing to do but soak up the rays.

Benevolence is everywhere.

Look! Even know he is raining down treasure from heaven.

look!







Happy New Years

Info smear:

It is highly advised that you do everything in your power to approach your own personal escape velocity.

Make no mistake: there is a form of social/political/emotional/control "gravity" holding your mind in place that is every bit as real and powerful as the physical gravity that holds objects bound to the earth.


(Earthbound angels awake!)



You must make a choice, if not today, if not tomorrow... sometime, weather you are content to let your consciousness remain at its metaphorically terrestrial level, or if you will make that terrifying, dizzying, irreversible blast into cognitive outer space.

At this point, i am not talking about dropping acid or eating a quarter ounce of mushrooms, although those metaprogramming tools may well be necessary parts of your escape program.

What i am talking about is a sustained, consciously guided and irreversible transition, by phases, leaps and bounds, into brand spanking new cognitive territory.



Such a change will reflect on every level of your perceived existence. I am talking about unconstrained, vast thought, widened, heightened perceptions, opening yourself to information signals you previously ignored or denied the existence of.





Physically, you may make the change from conditional or compromised health to "perfect health, pure and invincible"

I promise you, you may attain increasing degrees of "parkour" being unconstrained movement, total freedom of direction, the ability to overcome any obstacle on any level, physical or mental. I’m talking about walking on walls and jumping over cars, baby, and your belief or lack thereof is at this point irrelevant (to me, but very much relevant to you)



2004 was the year of the drunken monkey. Our (my) only evolutionary prerogative was to get funky, get fucked up and go swerving. This was a necessary meta-programing step representing the casting off of social constraints and the embracing of individual freedom.





2005 was the year of the rooster, the obvious evolutionary message being "wake up! Wake up! karoookaw! Sunrise!" ... this represented the final acceptance of new, deeper levels of experiential reality. at this point we were not yet ready to fully accept the implications of that awakening... the point was to accept its reality and prepare ourselves , now that we were awake, to GET THE FUCK OUT OF BED



welcome to 2006, the year of the dog. Prepare to lose whatever grasp you might have on my rant at this point. 2006 is the year that those who are awakening will begin to receive in greater frequency and clarity, telepathic messages from extraterrestrial intelligences residing in the local of Sirius, the Dog Star.

In all likelihood, there will be no indication that these messages are "extraterrestrial"... they will appear as meaningfull lyrics in a song played at just the right time... words in a book that almost burn your eyes with there personal relevance to your own existential mystery... a thought in your own head that shocks you with the scope of its epiphany... a dream so vivid and meaningfull that it makes you awake to a lasting sense of awe...

these and more are the forms of the new transmissions. Opening ourselves to these transmissions may well be the underlying goal of all occult and metaphysical practices, from psychedelic drugs to meditation to whatever the fuck helps you throw off your cognitive/experiential chains.

We are now escaping the gravity well... it gets a bit chilly outside the womb, and many will be tempted to sink back into the warm comfortable oblivion.

FIGHT YOUR OWN WILL TO NOTHINGNESS

YOUR DESTINY IS INFINITE

YOUR CONCIOUSNESS COSMIC

welcome to the year of the dog

(i believe nothing. i know nothing. Every map of reality is just a tool. Every belief system is shed like skin from a snake, making way for greater growth. All that I say today will be invalidated by greater truths revealed tomorrow. All that matters is that you ride the crest of your own wave courageously and without hesitation. fear is poison, stamp it out. That alone is half the battle.)

And remember:

OPEN UP

LET GO

OBLITERATE YOUR SELF

ANHILATE YOURSELF

YOU ARE THE ONLY OBSTACLE TO INFINITY

END

YOUR

SELF.

End info smear.








disclaimer: there is nothing new under the sun. I am not preaching that the nature of fundamental reality is undergoing a change. I am simply sticking a sign in the sand. The finger points to "freedom" ...



I’m Just a Dreamer

First off, as a disclaimer: the following story is a true account of exactly what i experienced and how I experienced it.

Have you ever heard someone say that lucid dreaming (the practice of conscious dreaming) can make you go crazy? Usually if I tell someone about my lucid dreaming there like "hey man be careful i know a guy who went crazy from doing that"

well... they may be right. Lucid dreaming is a very, very deep rabbit hole.

here’s my story.


Begin:

I was in a skateboarding "dish" you know those bowls of concrete for skateboarding in? and there was all these skin heads injecting heroin and fighting and skating... a sketchy scene. Soon enough one of them noticed me and started shouting at me and then tried to hit me with his board.

So I started running... came to a cliff edge, jumped and flew...

then I woke up.

It was a dream. Now I’m in bed. I get up and walk out into my hallway. My dad is there, getting ready to vacuum. So I tell him all about this dream I had, and he’s nodding and not all that interested...

then I wake up.

It was a dream. Now I’m in bed. I get up, and walk around, and my friend Alex comes over. he has this whole collection of crazy pipes he just bought, so we sit in my room and smoke out of them, and well we smoke I tell him all about my dreams, both the first one, and about how I woke up into another dream and told my dad about it, and he’s all like "whoa man, that is TRIPPY" ... then I’m like...

wait a minute. Didn’t you quit smoking?

And then I woke up.

It was a dream.

Now I’m in bed. VERY FUCKING CONFUSED. I just had 3 dreams within dreams, and not only that but I told people about the dreams in dreams... I pinch myself. I check the light switch. I confirm that I am now awake. But I feel really sketchy.

so i eat breakfast and get on the bus, same bus i take to school every day. but today there is this fat, ugly handicapped person, I cant even tell the gender, sitting on the bus. i have never seen this person before. I sit down on the far side of the back bench where she is sitting and look out the window, not wanting to look at this poor person.

But s/he gets my attention and goes.. "Hi... do you like Ozzy Ozbourne?"

(I don’t) but I say: "yeah"

then she looks right at me and says "my favorite song is "dreamer"... "

then she starts singing, in this slow, weird way

"I’m just a dreamer.... dreaming my life away"

she sang that the whole bus ride.


I was FREAKING OUT.

That part wasn’t a dream.



Just wanted to share that

Gomp’s response:
”neat post! 

BTW: I had just finished listening to Ozzy Osborne - Dreamer, then the song changed to Live - Overcome, when i opened your post and started reading.. Just found it hilarious! with the girl on the bus and all ..”



Choosing Truth

basically I’m interested in the idea of truth as something to be consciously chosen rather than deduced or discovered... here me out on this

it seems to me that everyone has their own beliefs about reality and truth, right? and those beliefs influence not only how those people act, but also kind of open up the possibility of various powers and skills, no what i mean?

I mean here’s a few examples:

you got one guy who believes in hard science and empiricism and rationalism... so he gets into physics and becomes a N.A.S.A rocket scientist and develops these amazing intellectual capacities which eventually allow him to perform the incredible feat of making a working space shuttle

another guy believes in Taoism and goes into meditation, martial arts and say, Reiki. he learns all these bizarre physical powers, talents etc and becomes a chi master who can heal the sick with his hands and do amazing physical things...

then you got another guy who believes in shamanism and the spirit world etc... and takes psychedelics and does drumming and learns shamanic healing and soon he can heal himself and maybe others, summon spirits for his own guidance, and practice astral flying...

all three of these people believe totally different and totally contradictory things. Conventional thinking would say they can’t all be "right"

But I would say they can. because, all of there conflicting beliefs nevertheless allow them access to powers and abilities and experiences they would otherwise not have had...

so what I’m thinking is, rather than nail yourself down to the truth you "believe in" , think about truth as something you choose

you could even do it ass backwards. rather than believing something then following it to its conclusion which allows you to do something like fly a rocket ship, astral project or break cement with your hands, choose an ability you think is cool, then get into the path that teaches it, and eventually through practice learn to experience those truths for yourself

I do this. Like, I see a figure I really admire, like Bruce lee or Tony Jaa or dalai lama, and I see that they have very unique powers, physically , emotionally or spiritually . to me the fact that their personal paths convey these powers to them is enough reason for me to accept there validity.

Anyways, what I’m saying is, there is no one truth, and no one path, and nailing yourself into one is just stupid, pragmatically speaking.

Furthermore, you can actually choose your beliefs and then bring them into your life, rather than deducing your beliefs from your life.

People experienced in chaos magic already know about this "paradigm piracy"

but it works for everyone.

Peace


3 ways to God
in my copy to the Bagavad Gita, (I probably spelled that wrong) there is a quotation that basically says there are 3 ways to god.

The first way is I AM. This is the realization that you ultimately are god and then following the path of reclaiming/experiencing that godhead. Becoming god in flesh.

The second way is Thou art. This is the realization that all is god and their is nothing that is not god. Thus you surrender yourself utterly to god and basically give up your ego and identity, thus experiencing the truth of god.

The third way is I am and thou art. This I guess is the idea that their is a god, and you are NOT him, and then devoting your life to serving and worshiping that god.

According to the author, any one of these three ways, if perfected, leads to the same divine destination.

Just wanted to share that because I thought it was interesting and to me it makes some sense. Personally I am leaning to the first and second paths, and away from the third, but as the author says, they can all
work.

I think of it like this: take a piece of paper and draw a large circle with a small circle inside of it. say that your ego/identity is the small circle, limitation, and the large circle is unlimited god (pretend the larger circle is unlimitedly large)

so the first way, I AM, would be to constantly expand the borders of your ego circle through self perfection and raising personal power, to the ultimate goal of making your little circle as big as the big circle and thus basically become the big circle, GOD.

the second way , thou art, is like erasing your little circle and thus all that is left is the big circle, god.

And the third way is like the little circle worshiping and pleasing the big circle until the big circle deems the little circle worthy of being accepted and absorbed into it.

I don’t know if that made any sense to any body but hey, i try.

food for thought.

peace

The Pineal Gland

the pineal gland is a very interesting thing.

it produces a natural DMT like substance in your body, a powerful hallucinogenic that may be part of the dreaming process. that alone is great, that your brain has a natural organ that squirts us with potent psychedelics on a nightly basis... 

other interesting things: the location of the pineal gland is the exact location of the esoteric "third eye" which is supposed to signify/generate Tran physical perception... psychic sight or whatever

and this is cool: Tibetan Buddhism believes that the fetus in the mothers womb does not have a soul until the 49th day of life, which is coincidently the day the pineal gland is formed in the fetus.

as to how to "get in touch with it" start getting to know your dreams, as they could be interpreted as gateways into the world of the pineal gland...

also some sects of Buddhism and mysticism practice meditating on the pineal gland, which means trying to focus your awareness on that spot. Close your eyes and focus on the blackness between them. Just keep meditating on that or else visualize a bright white ball between your eyes.


“If you don’t want everything you identify with to be destroyed in entropy…


Then you must begin waking up..." - star seed transmissions

what exactly do you find so hard to believe?

You’ve all heard it by now. A big change is coming. A huge shift of consciousness washing over us, a new age for humanity. A lot of you, quite logically, say ?says who? And why? Based on what evidence? What is this shift anyways? What the hell are you talking about?!?

It’s really not that complicated, far fetched or scary. It goes something like this. Individuals across the globe, alone and on their own, are beginning to feel that something is wrong, something is missing, and something is not as it should be, in their lives and in the world.

This alone is nothing new. Dissatisfaction, depression, confusion, feelings of being imprisoned, or of missing out on something just beneath the surface, have been widespread for? well probably forever.

many people are slowly waking up and realizing what has been missing. The constant search for meaning has taken a dramatic and wonderful new turn. No longer satisfied with the worn out, increasingly useless solutions of institutions like the church and government, this new generation of seekers is finding their own answers. Or rather, someone or something is giving them to us.

You’ve heard of the expression? A hole in your life? Well for a long time various people have been trying to tell us how to fill that hole. Just accept god, go to church, or maybe get a good job and get married? I don't need to point out to you that this is not and has never been enough. (Actually accepting god isn't as far off as you might think? but forget that for now)

This is because what we are missing is not an accomplishment, a person, or a possession. What we have lost is the true knowledge of who we are. We are like people dreaming we are mice, afraid, impotent, constantly scurrying about for crumbs and fleeing from predators. What a relief it would be to wake up from such a dream! Well? The difference between being a mouse and being a human is nothing compared to the difference between the humanity we feel trapped by to the humanity we are now preparing to transform into.

The transformation of consciousness is at once something that we choose to embrace, and something that comes upon us of its own accord? it is a flame in the night, a ghost in the dark. When we feel most alone, confused and helpless is when it is most apt to well up within us.

The transformation cannot be explained in words, but words can paint a vague picture. It is a freedom from the slavery we have imposed on ourselves. It is a freedom from the poisons of fear, guilt, shame, inadequacy, confusion, self destruction, and basically an end to the impulses of negation, of death.

It is embracing the healing energies of love, praise and gratitude. It is like waking up from a nightmare and laughing long and hard at the silly imaginings we were fleeing from.

It is like seeing the sun come up over the horizon to warm your face after a dark, cold night.

Forget for a moment anything you’ve heard about the nature of reality changing, the laws of physics breaking down, or anything like that. All that matters now is that you understand that the primary and initial change is one in the way we think and perceive reality. Not even the most skeptical of you will doubt that we can change that at least, and once you do? The rest will follow.

A big part of the change comes from living in the present moment. This is something you’ve all heard ad nauseum. Be here now. Live in the moment, etc. It is repeated often because it is so very true and so very, very powerful.

The present instant, this moment, the NOW, is a gate, a doorway into unimaginable joy. Let me ask you something. If you were to list the emotions that keep you from happiness, the emotions you would rather do without? Would it go something like this? : Shame. Guilt. Doubt. Fear. Anxiety. Confusion.

For me, none of those are desirable mental states. NONE OF THEM EXIST IN THE PRESENT INSTANT. You either dwell in the past, on your old mistakes and disappointments, the things you did wrong, or the things that went wrong, and feel guilt or shame or disappointment (the poisons of the past) or else you dwell on imagined anxieties of the future? what if I fail class? Will I pass that test? Will I get cancer? Will the terrorists attack? What about nuclear bombs? These are the poisons of the future.

In the present moment, there is none of that shit. In the present moment, there is only perfection, gods will manifesting in its sublime, transcendent excellence. Everything in the present moment is as it should be. All your pain, all your fear, all your STRESS, is a self inflicted illusion. This moment is god’s heartbeat, and if you can stop your own mental dialogue and listen to it, all your shit will melt away and you will feel just fine.

That's another piece of the puzzle, one that is falling in place for those who are ready. The deeper essence of reality. What is reality? We ask ourselves. Is it this hand, this cup, this wall, that color, those people, this feeling, that emotion? Is that reality? No. that is no more reality than bubbles in a stream are the stream itself.

Reality is something like a white light. It contains within it every possible hue of the spectrum, but it is itself invisible. Reality is the Tao, the infinite, it is god. All the particulars, the objects, the people, the feelings and places, are like fleeting dreams of god, like bubbles rising for a brief instant then disappearing in the stream. This stream, this light, this Tao, this god, is infinite in its power and its benevolence.

Yes, benevolence! It nourishes EVERYTHING that lives. It creates all and sustains all. It is love. It is LOVE! And it is power.

A part of what is happening is that we are remembering, rediscovering this life, this pulse, this god, this thing that is as far from what we used to call reality as a sketch of a dog is from the living article. Infinitely farther than that in fact.

It is important to realize that our attention is a thing of immense power. Whatever we focus our attention on, we and reality for that time becomes. Focus on your pain, hook your attention on pain, and you become pain, and your reality becomes pain. Hook your attention on the light, the love, the present, the Tao, god, and you become god, and your reality becomes god.

Can you imagine giving up your past? Can you conceive of letting go of everything you have ever known, experienced or believed? Can you drop your memories, the good and the bad, the sweet and the sad, like the accumulated dust they are?

Can you surrender your hopes, your fears, and your dreams of the future? Can you let go of all your wishes, your imaginings, your expectations? Can you, in other words, be in this world and not of it?

Does that idea scare you? Fear is the guardian at the gate of change. Push through fear, defeat it, and you will always find love on the other side.

I repeat myself: your attention is immensely powerful. Anything in your life that hurts or haunts you is there only because you are clinging to it with your attention. Do you suffer? You are like a man who screams in pain even as he hugs a roll of barb wire like it is his most precious treasure. You are like a junky, who shivers in sickness even as he injects more poison into his veins. Let go. It is illusion. It is chaff. It is like dust on your window, wipe it away and let in the light.

Yes, windows and lights. I remind you briefly that words are symbols and metaphors, not truth. Nothing I have said here is truth, not one word of it. My hope is that if I throw enough metaphors at you, you may intuit the truth, or some small aspect of it.

I repeat that god, the Tao, the source, the light, is what gives rise to all things you perceive. Imagine then that you are a man made of glass, with your back turned to god and your eyes on the ground at your feet. What you see is your personal reality. If you are dirty and smudged with your own mental filth, gods pure light will shine through you and leave a smudged and grey light at your feet, and that is your reality.

If you can make yourself clean, by letting go of your fears and your doubts and your guilt’s, and all your shit, then god’s light will shine in you and through you and your reality, the light at your feet, will be pure and good and joyous.


More metaphors: many of you feel, or have felt, that your life is like a nightmare, a frightening and disturbing reality that you cannot escape. You are pursued, you are lost, you try to scream and no words come out. And indeed you are right! Your life IS a nightmare! It is scary, it is horrible, and it is a complete illusion.

As in a nightmare, if you can realize that you are asleep, all your fears melt away, relief washes over you, you remember you are not in the maw of a monster but safe and warm in bed! This is truth. You are, always have been and always will be safe and warm in gods embrace. You can never be otherwise. But until you stop your own personal dream, your own self created nightmare, you will not know it, and certainly you can’t enjoy it.

So? This is something, some hint, some small aspect, and some miniscule piece of the transformation that some of us, many of us, more of us everyday, are beginning to undergo.

It is like waking up from a nightmare. It is like the sun rising in the night. It is letting go of illusions. It is dropping our illusory sense of past and future and the guilt and anxiety that comes with it. It is returning to the eternal, ever present, and benevolent now. It is remembrance of god, and realization of our own true natures. It is freedom.

If none of what I have said makes any sense, fine. If it is bullshit to you, great! It matters not. My words are just one small, inarticulate voice echoing down into a dark chasm where so many people still live. But more voices will join mine, louder and clearer, and more light will shine into the chasm, and its inhabitants will grow more and more restless, and as the little light that shines down illuminates the steep walls surrounding them, they will start to see a path up and out, and we will all, together, begin to climb.

There is nothing to fear. All your pain is an illusion. The future is incredibly happy. It is not too good to be true. Nothing is impossible. All your prisons are self created. You are all gods and god is all of us. The only way out is up.

If your games still satisfy you, by all means keep playing for as long as you want. There is no hurry. There is no rush. We will all get where we are going, because we are already there, we never left.

Peace.

-Dan C.

Added note: in the coming years, there will be a steady increase of conflict, violence, fear etc... Sort of. Within the one great loving light of god are many possible vibration levels that we can choose to inhabit. The violence and trauma are occurring at the lower vibration levels, which are inhabited by the fearful and destructive. The reason for this seeming increase in trauma is that these lower vibration levels are collapsing in on themselves. If you can raise your mind out of these lower levels, you will not be affected or touched by any of the trauma going on in the world, quite the opposite, you will perceive a steady increase in positive change.

Apocalypse and Eschaton, utopia and dystopia , will occur simultaneously. Which one do you want to inhabit? Which would you rather experience? “if everything you identify with is not to be destroyed in entropy, you must begin waking up"

This is like the believers being called up to heaven before the end times... sort of. If you are still enslaved in your nightmares, be prepared to deal with the fear and pain in them. Alternatively, you can





WAKE UP



take it, leave it, buy it, fuck it... i make no promises, only suggestions



Binary

”as above, so below”
This ancient axiom hold true in countless instances. One thing that comes to my mind is how this can be seen in relation to the cycle of birth and death.

Within our own bodies we can see that every heart beat is followed by a rest. each inhalation is followed by an exhalation. Moving up in the scale we see the cycle of the sun. It rises and sets. then the seasons flow cyclically. Winter brings temporary death, and spring a renewal of growth.

Continuing still upwards we see how the universe itself expands out into infinity before collapsing back into itself.

No matter what the scale, the same basic forces pulse with a similar rhythm. Positive and negative, birth and death. The universe itself has a heartbeat that directly mirrors our own.

To me this is a sound reason to believe in the rebirth of the soul, reincarnation after death.

This body is no more 'us' than a heartbeat or a breath. We don’t cry when a cell in our body passes away, only to be instantly replaced. We don’t cry with each pause between renewed heartbeats. We don’t sob when the sun goes down, because we know it will rise again. We slog though the cold winter assured of the coming spring. Even as the universe itself collapses into itself, a rebirth of all things is imminent.

So rest easy. On the cosmic scale of your soul, the death of this body is no more final or tragic than the breath you just let out, the brief pause between heat beats,, or the setting of the sun.

As above, so below. Rebirth follows death.


Thanks for reading

Love

The Church of Dan

Yeah man. I've read different parts of this multiple times. Very inspiring.
Everytime I trip I can relate back to something I read in here. Most recently an acid trip gave me a hard lesson on "being in the room you're in" which is along the same lines of power of the present moment.

I find I' on my phone a lot browsing shroomery or whatever when there are people around who are important to me that I should be connecting with.

Conserning?

I have read a zillion of Moonshoe's posts making unsubstantiated claims. As God alleged created the universe, can Moonshoe demonstrate even a whisper of a god-like power? Of course not!

He wants to "save the endangered species" and "feed the hungry". Sorry, but those are two diametrically opposed goals. "Feeding the hungry results in MORE humans which results in LESS of other species.

He is peaceful and loving yet wants to "eradicate evil governments". Evil is a personal judgment not a universal truth, and the only way to eradicate such regimes is through violence. Um... OK.

His whole post is a mish-mash of random thoughts, '70s posters and borrowed ideas tossed in a blender. Mmm!

I'm not going to tell you you're wrong because I'm not looking to get into an argument with you here, and technically you're not wrong. If you decide you want to take everything litterally that's your perogitive.
Communication is not about the words you use to express an idea. It's a process that requires somebody to be willing to receive the idea.
My advice to you. Try to understand somebody's point of view before trying to prove them wrong.
Two parties can have opposing points of view and both be right at the same time.
Just as one party can support two opposing points of views

Side note:
Has it ever occurred to you that the universe wouldn't even exist unless there was a conciousness to say it did?
Therefore we are litterally creating the universe everyday with everything that we do.
For me tye universe and conciousness are one in the same.

I can only read what was written and not what I thought he meant as this is not the psychic forum.

I pointed out where in several areas, MS held two opposing views simultaneously. This is known as cognitive dissonance and demonstrates a lack of clear thinking; fact, not my opinion.

Does feeding the hungry result in uncrowded and pristine forest where you can pose alone

or

something more like this?




I am not getting the relevance of your photo (besides pride). Are you insinuating that a six-pack and low body fat = godhead? Yogananda was quite fat. Was he further from God than you? Please clarify.

My apologies, you're right that was completely unnessisary.

Also cognitive dissonance is the rejection of new ideas due to conflicting beliefs.

It has nothing to do with holding two opposing views simultaneously

Cognitive dissonance

In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, performs an action that is contradictory to one or more beliefs, ideas or values, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values.

THE BOOK OF THE MANTIS




A Grimoire, elucidating a comprehensive theory, philosophy and practice of self development and self transcendence, initiating the reader into a lifestyle directed towards the use of esoteric, mystical, spiritual, occult and hermetic doctrines and techniques to achieve a variety of desired results and altered states of consciousness.

Within, the reader will discover a set of foundational practices, the use of which will develop the mind, body and spirit in a unified system of personal growth that is holistic, profound and powerful. All of these techniques are experiential, and by using them you will immediately begin to reap the benefits and feel the positive effects directly. These techniques are to be lived and experienced, and are intended to allow you to not only improve your functioning, happiness and well being within this reality, but also to access other realities that although equally perceptually real, are of a profoundly different nature.

The Book of the Mantis is a key to the exploration and application of your own consciousness and the powers inherent within it. Humans are multi-dimensional beings. We have an intrinsic ability to exist in and perceive more then one realm or layer of reality. In addition to the day to day, consensual, physical, shared reality we exist in during the day, we also have access to other realms that can be called astral, spiritual or simply "non-ordinary states of consciousness". When we are in them, these realities can be just as vivid and real as daily life. For example, each of us dream every night, whether we remember it or not. But very few of us fully realize the true potential of our dreams and even fewer will experience first hand the mind-blowing realms accessible through the practice of dream disciplines such as the ones you will read in this book.

You will also learn physical disciplines, martial disciplines, exercises for the body and for the mind, spiritual and meditative disciplines, as well as many techniques that can be described as spiritual, mystical, occult, hermetic, esoteric or magical.  The Book of the mantis integrates a full spectrum of personal growth and development techniques into one holistic and comprehensive lifestyle system. Through simple, step by step levels of initiation, you will be able to grow and develop to the point where you have acquired powers and experiences you may never have imagined.

Following these simple, clear steps, you will gradually but surely transform your life, your consciousness and your experience. You will become physically stronger and healthier, you will improve your balance, endurance, dexterity and coordination. You will become more peaceful, more tranquil, more confident and more fulfilled. You will regain the full potential of your consciousness. Every night you will have and remember numerous amazing dreams, your dream recall will become near perfect, you will have lucid dreams regularly and even proceed through further gates of dreaming even more remarkable.

You will develop your powers of contemplation and mental focus, you will practice and master magickal and esoteric techniques and learn fascinating arcane concepts. You will be invited to try all these techniques for yourself, and abandon any that do not mesh with your own personal preferences. This is not a religion to be followed or a dogma to be accepted, it is a manual, a guidebook and a journal, inviting you to follow along with me on a journey of self exploration, mystical attainment , meditative discipline and occult knowledge.

Let us begin.





THE PATH OF THE OCTOPUS



The aspirant utilizing the book of the mantis is to begin by following the Path of the Octopus.

Like the octopus, the Path of the Octopus has eight limbs, each with their own necessity and utility.

BEGINNING THE PATH


Before we delve into the spiritual philosophy, arcane knowledge and mystical systems, we must ground ourselves in the simple, straightforward and absolutely essential practices that will allow you to reap the benefits of the Book of the Mantis.

This is the first of three levels at which you shall understand the Path of the Octopus:

THE EIGHT TENTACLES OF AWAKENING (NEOPHYTE):

Throughout this process, you will be introduced to more and more practices, techniques and methods to achieve enlightenment, awakening, satori, nirvana, liberation, freedom, Moksha, ascension, transcendence, awakening, bliss. The first eight are the core foundational practices of the Neophyte. By adopting these eight practices daily, and then reading the material provided below, you are now granted the Grade and Rank of NEOPHYTE, with all the rights and privileges thereof.

1.

DIET: Simply follow these easy rules. First, you must eat nothing that is heavy in refined sugar. No pop, no cakes, no donuts, no candy. Second, you must eat one fresh salad consisting of at least four raw vegetables a day, without any dressing aside from olive oil and balsamic vinegar or olive oil and apple cider vinegar if desired. Avoid processed food as much as possible, and eat as much natural, simple, fresh and unprocessed food as possible.


2. EXERCISE: Simply work out, in whatever way you prefer, for at least one hour every day. You may take a maximum of two rest days a week, meaning you must work out at least every five days a week. Your rest days must not be consecutive. You must work out vigorously enough to work up a sweat and have an elevated heart rate and heavy breathing.


3. YOGA: At least three times a week, you must do a yoga practice (Hatha/Asana Yoga). You do not need to buy any equipment, pay any fees or attend any classes. All you need to do is go to Youtube, find one of the countless free yoga practices online, and follow along with the instructor in your bedroom and living room. If you find one you like, you can stick with it, or you can try a different one each time. Your Yoga classes should be approximately one hour in length and not less then 30 minutes in length. Your Yoga practices can count towards your exercise from 2. Ideally you should alternate a workout of your choice with yoga, so that you are doing workout of your choice one day, yoga the next, your choice, yoga, repeat.


4. MEDITATION: Every day, you must meditate for at least 30 minutes. You should sit down cross legged or in lotus in a peaceful, quiet spot, away from distractions. Close your eyes and fold your hands in your lap, one atop the other, thumb-tips touching. Inhale deeply through the nose, focusing all your attention on the inhalation of breath, feeling it flow in your nostrils, feeling it fill your lungs, concentrating solely on your breathing, then exhaling through the nose, focusing all your attention on the exhalation of breath.

Repeat this for at least 30 minutes, aiming for one hour a day. This practice of meditation is the one taught and practiced by the Buddha himself, and through which he attained enlightenment.

Here is the Buddha's own instruction on how to carry out the meditation:

"Mindfulness of in-&-out breathing, when developed & pursued, is of great fruit, of great benefit. Mindfulness of in-&-out breathing, when developed & pursued, brings clear knowing & release to their culmination.

Now how is mindfulness of in-&-out breathing developed & pursued so as to be of great fruit, of great benefit?

"There is the case where a monk, having gone to the wilderness, to the shade of a tree, or to an empty building, sits down folding his legs crosswise, holding his body erect, and setting mindfulness to the fore.[1] Always mindful, he breathes in; mindful he breathes out."



5. DREAM JOURNAL: The fifth step is to buy or find a journal that you like. Place it and a pen or pencil beside your bed. First thing every morning, before you do anything else, strive with all your might to remember as much of your dreams as possible, and write them down in as much detail as you possibly can. Do this every single morning and your dream recall will continue to improve steadily until you are remembering several full intricate detailed dreams every single morning. Like all these eight steps, this will be developed more in further grades. These are the foundational practices.


6. SUPPLEMENTATION: Select one single supplement from the following list. Research them and decide which you most want to try. Obtain it and begin consuming it daily according the dosage guidelines on the bottle. Observe how you feel over the next weeks until the product is gone or until you have taken it daily for one month. Make sure there are no interactions with any other medication you may be taking, or any other contraindications.

Choices: Reishi Mushroom, Turmeric, Chaga Mushroom, Chlorella, Spirulina, Jiaogulan, Ginseng, raw cacao.


7. PURIFY: Drink only pure, uncontaminated water, that does not contain added fluoride or other pollutants, or at least minimize this as much as you possibly can. Purchase an 18.9 Litre water cooler jug and take it to your local grocery store. Find the reverse osmosis water dispenser and fill it up. Use this for all your water drinking, for making tea and coffee, and for cooking rice or other foods where the water will absorb into the food. Your body is mostly water, and you drink water every day of your life. It is the foundation of your health, and for many reasons the purity of your water is important to your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health.

I also recommend switching to a fluoride free natural toothpaste, and as much as possible to use natural cosmetic products, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, hygiene products etc. As much as possible try to reduce the amount of artificial chemicals you are exposed to.


8. MANTRA CHANTING:

Chanting of mantra was a concept of the Vedic saints that includes mantras as one of the main forms of worship, whose end is seen as salvation. Basically, Mantra Jaap means repeating the mantra. Reciting Mantra has become an established feature of the Hindu practices. Mantra Japa involves repetition of mantra again and again, usually 108 times completes one cycle. Due to this, the rosary (mala) used for mantra jaap has 108 beads in it. It is believed that through mantra jaap, the devotee attains concentration and focus on the chosen deity or the main idea of the mantra. One can attain peace of mind quickly by chanting mantra. With prolong and constant practice, the inherent power of the Mantra (Mantra-Shakti) will be awakened, which will fill your very existence with the Divinity of the Mantra.

At least twice a week, practice chanting the Mantra "OM" 108 times. Ideally you should purchase a maala or prayer rosary with 108 beads (you can find them in many eastern stores, make your own or find them online), Inhale deeply and fill your lungs, then vibrate/chant the mantra OM with the full exhalation, then repeat. This will take almost exactly half an hour. If you don't have a maala, simply set a timer for 30 minutes and chant OM for that period of time. You can count your mantra chanting session as one of your meditations from 4, and you can alternate silent breathing meditation with mantra meditation, or you can do 30 minutes of one and 30 minutes of the other for one hour of meditation a day, either together or morning and afternoon/evening.

You have now begin given the first eight practices. By adopting these practices daily and reading the material that follows, with all sincerity and earnestness, you are now formally granted the grade and rank of Neophyte. After maintaining all of these practices for a period of not less then one month, you will ascend to the rank of Initiate. You will then be given a new set of eight practices, whereby you can rise to the rank of Adept, and then a final eight practices which will elevate you at last to the rank of Magus. Each set of eight practices will also be accompanied by some necessary reading material that you are encouraged to think about and apply to your own life as much as possible, and to practice to the best of your abilities.

A final recommendation is that you keep a journal, not only of your dreams but also of your progress, thoughts and feelings as you go through this practice. I recommend you record the time and date of each exercise, meditation, yoga and mantra session as well as any thoughts, feelings or reflections that come up as your work through the practices and the reading material.

The Reading Material for the Rank of Neophyte follows:


These eight limbs can first be understood in terms of the eight limbs of Yoga.

The Eight Limbs , The Core of Yoga

The practice of yoga is an art and science dedicated to creating union between body, mind and spirit. Its objective is to assist the practitioner in using the breath and body to foster an awareness of ourselves as individualized beings intimately connected to the unified whole of creation. In short it is about making balance and creating equanimity so as to live in peace, good health and harmony with the greater whole. This art of right living was perfected and practiced in India thousands of years ago and the foundations of yoga philosophy were written down in The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, approximately 200 AD. This sacred text describes the inner workings of the mind and provides an eight-step blueprint for controlling its restlessness so as to enjoying lasting peace.



        The core of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra is an eight-limbed path that forms the structural framework for yoga practice. Upon practicing all eight limbs of the path it becomes self-evident that no one element is elevated over another in a hierarchical order. Each is part of a holistic focus which eventually brings completeness to the individual as they find their connectivity to the divine. Because we are all uniquely individual a person can emphasize one branch and then move on to another as they round out their understanding.

      In brief the eight limbs, or steps to yoga, are as follows:

        Yama :  Universal morality
        Niyama :  Personal observances
        Asanas :  Body postures
        Pranayama :  Breathing exercises, and control of prana
        Pratyahara :  Control of the senses
        Dharana :  Concentration and cultivating inner perceptual awareness
        Dhyana :  Devotion, Meditation on the Divine
        Samadhi :  Union with the Divine

      The first two limbs that Patanjali describes are the fundamental ethical precepts called yamas, and the niyamas. These can also be looked at as universal morality and personal observances. Yamas and niyamas are the suggestions given on how we should deal with people around us and our attitude toward ourselves. The attitude we have toward things and people outside ourselves is yama, how we relate to ourselves inwardly is niyama. Both are mostly concerned with how we use our energy in relationship to others and to ourselves.

      The yamas are broken down into five "wise characteristics." Rather than a list of dos and don’ts, "they tell us that our fundamental nature is compassionate, generous, honest and peaceful." i They are as follows:

I. Yamas (Universal Morality)

        1. Ahimsa – Compassion for all living things
        The word ahimsa literally mean not to injure or show cruelty to any creature or any person in any way whatsoever. Ahimsa is, however, more than just lack of violence as adapted in yoga. It means kindness, friendliness, and thoughtful consideration of other people and things. It also has to do with our duties and responsibilities too. Ahimsa implies that in every situation we should adopt a considerate attitude and do no harm.

        2. Satya – Commitment to Truthfulness
        Satya means "to speak the truth," yet it is not always desirable to speak the truth on all occasions, for it could harm someone unnecessarily. We have to consider what we say, how we say it, and in what way it could affect others. If speaking the truth has negative consequences for another, then it is better to say nothing. Satya should never come into conflict with our efforts to behave with ahimsa. This precept is based on the understanding that honest communication and action form the bedrock of any healthy relationship, community, or government, and that deliberate deception, exaggerations, and mistruths harm others. ii 

        3. Asteya - Non-stealing
        Steya means "to steal"; asteya is the opposite-to take nothing that does not belong to us. This also means that if we are in a situation where someone entrusts something to us or confides in us, we do not take advantage of him or her. Non-stealing includes not only taking what belongs to another without permission, but also using something for a different purpose to that intended, or beyond the time permitted by its owner.iii  The practice of asteya implies not taking anything that has not been freely given. This includes fostering a consciousness of how we ask for others’ time for inconsiderate behavior demanding another’s attention when not freely given is, in effect, stealing.



        4. Brahmacharya - Sense control
        Brahmacharya is used mostly in the sense of abstinence, particularly in relationship to sexual activity. Brahmacharya suggests that we should form relationships that foster our understanding of the highest truths. Brahmacharya does not necessarily imply celibacy. Rather, it means responsible behavior with respect to our goal of moving toward the truth. Practicing brahmacharya means that we use our sexual energy to regenerate our connection to our spiritual self. It also means that we don’t use this energy in any way that might harm others.iv

        5. Aparigraha - Neutralizing the desire to acquire and hoard wealth
        Aparigraha means to take only what is necessary, and not to take advantage of a situation or act greedy. We should only take what we have earned; if we take more, we are exploiting someone else. The yogi feels that the collection or hoarding of things implies a lack of faith in God and in himself to provide for his future.v Aparigraha also implies letting go of our attachments to things and an understanding that impermanence and change are the only constants.

      The Yoga Sutra describes what happens when these five behaviors outlined above become part of a person's daily life. Thus, the yamas are the moral virtues which, if attended to, purify human nature and contribute to health and happiness of society.

II. Niyama (Personal Observances)

      Niyama means "rules" or "laws."  These are the rules prescribed for personal observance. Like the yamas, the five niyamas are not exercises or actions to be simply studied. They represent far more than an attitude. Compared with the yamas, the niyamas are more intimate and personal. They refer to the attitude we adopt toward ourselves as we create a code for living soulfully

        1. Sauca - Purity
        The first niyama is sauca, meaning purity and cleanliness. Sauca has both an inner and an outer aspect. Outer cleanliness simply means keeping ourselves clean. Inner cleanliness has as much to do with the healthy, free functioning of our bodily organs as with the clarity of our mind. Practicing asanas or pranayama are essential means for attending to this inner sauca. Asanas tones the entire body and removes toxins while pranayama cleanses our lungs, oxygenates our blood and purifies our nerves. "But more important than the physical cleansing of the body is the cleansing of the mind of its disturbing emotions like hatred, passion, anger, lust, greed, delusion and pride." vi

        2. Santosa - Contentment
        Another niyama is santosa, modesty and the feeling of being content with what we have. To be at peace within and content with one's lifestyle finding contentment even while experiencing life’s difficulties for life becomes a process of growth through all kinds of circumstances. We should accept that there is a purpose for everything - yoga calls it karma – and we cultivate contentment 'to accept what happens'. It means being happy with what we have rather than being unhappy about what we don't have.

        3. Tapas – Disciplined use of our energy
        Tapas refers to the activity of keeping the body fit or to confront and handle the inner urges without outer show. Literally it means to heat the body and, by so doing, to cleanse it. Behind the notion of tapas lies the idea we can direct our energy to enthusiastically engage life and achieve our ultimate goal of creating union with the Divine. Tapas helps us burn up all the desires that stand in our way of this goal.  Another form of tapas is paying attention to what we eat. Attention to body posture, attention to eating habits, attention to breathing patterns - these are all tapas.



        4. Svadhyaya – Self study
        The fourth niyama is svadhyaya. Sva means "self' adhyaya means "inquiry" or "examination". Any activity that cultivates self-reflective consciousness can be considered svadhyaya. It means to intentionally find self-awareness in all our activities and efforts, even to the point of welcoming and accepting our limitations. It teaches us to be centered and non-reactive to the dualities, to burn out unwanted and self-destructive tendencies.

        5. Isvarapranidhana - Celebration of the Spiritual
        Isvarapranidhana means "to lay all your actions at the feet of God." It is the contemplation on God (Isvara) in order to become attuned to god and god's will. It is the recognition that the spiritual suffuses everything and through our attention and care we can attune ourselves with our role as part of the Creator. The practice requires that we set aside some time each day to recognize that there is some omnipresent force larger than ourselves that is guiding and directing the course of our lives. vii

III. Asanas (Body postures)



      Asana is the practice of physical postures. It is the most commonly known aspect of yoga for those unfamiliar with the other seven limbs of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra. The practice of moving the body into postures has widespread benefits; of these the most underlying are improved health, strength, balance and flexibility. On a deeper level the practice of asana, which means "staying" or "abiding" in Sanskrit, is used as a tool to calm the mind and move into the inner essence of being. The challenge of poses offers the practitioner the opportunity to explore and control all aspects of their emotions, concentration, intent, faith, and unity between the physical and the ethereal body. Indeed, using asanas to challenge and open the physical body acts as a binding agent to bring one in harmony with all the unseen elements of their being, the forces that shape our lives through our responses to the physical world. Asana then becomes a way of exploring our mental attitudes and strengthening our will as we learn to release and move into the state of grace that comes from creating balance between our material world and spiritual experience.

        As one practices asana it fosters a quieting of the mind, thus it becomes both a preparation for meditation and a meditation sufficient in and of itself. Releasing to the flow and inner strength that one develops brings about a profound grounding spirituality in the body. The physicality of the yoga postures becomes a vehicle to expand the consciousness that pervades our every aspect of our body. The key to fostering this expansion of awareness and consciousness begins with the control of breath, the fourth limb – Pranayama. Patanjali suggests that the asana and the pranayama practices will bring about the desired state of health; the control of breath and bodily posture will harmonize the flow of energy in the organism, thus creating a fertile field for the evolution of the spirit. "This down-to-earth, flesh-and-bones practice is simply one of the most direct and expedient ways to meet yourself. … This limb of yoga practice reattaches us to our body. In reattaching ourselves to our bodies we reattach ourselves to the responsibility of living a life guided by the undeniable wisdom of our body."viii To this B.K.S. Iyengar adds: "The needs of the body are the needs of the divine spirit which lives through the body. The yogi does not look heaven-ward to find God for he know that He is within."ix

IV. Pranayama (Breath Control)



      Pranayama is the measuring, control, and directing of the breath. Pranayama controls the energy (prana) within the organism, in order to restore and maintain health and to promote evolution. When the in-flowing breath is neutralized or joined with the out-flowing breath, then perfect relaxation and balance of body activities are realized. In yoga, we are concerned with balancing the flows of vital forces, then directing them inward to the chakra system and upward to the crown chakra.

        Pranayama, or breathing technique, is very important in yoga. It goes hand in hand with the asana or pose. In the Yoga Sutra, the practices of pranayama and asana are considered to be the highest form of purification and self discipline for the mind and the body, respectively. The practices produce the actual physical sensation of heat, called tapas, or the inner fire of purification. It is taught that this heat is part of the process of purifying the nadis, or subtle nerve channels of the body. This allows a more healthful state to be experienced and allows the mind to become more calm.x As the yogi follows the proper rhythmic patterns of slow deep breathing "the patterns strengthen the respiratory system, soothe the nervous system and reduce craving. As desires and cravings diminish, the mind is set free and becomes a fit vehicle for concentration."xi

V. Pratyahara (Control of the Senses)



      Pratyahara means drawing back or retreat. The word ahara means "nourishment"; pratyahara translates as "to withdraw oneself from that which nourishes the senses." In yoga, the term pratyahara implies withdrawal of the senses from attachment to external objects. It can then be seen as the practice of non-attachment to sensorial distractions as we constantly return to the path of self realization and achievement of internal peace. It means our senses stop living off the things that stimulate; the senses no longer depend on these stimulants and are not fed by them any more.

      In pratyahara we sever this link between mind and senses, and the senses withdraw. When the senses are no longer tied to external sources, the result is restraint or pratyahara. Now that the vital forces are flowing back to the Source within, one can concentrate without being distracted by externals or the temptation to cognize externals.

      Pratyahara occurs almost automatically when we meditate because we are so absorbed in the object of meditation. Precisely because the mind is so focused, the senses follow it; it is not happening the other way around.

      No longer functioning in their usual manner, the senses become extraordinarily sharp. Under normal circumstances the senses become our masters rather than being our servants. The senses entice us to develop cravings for all sorts of things. In pratyahara the opposite occurs: when we have to eat we eat, but not because we have a craving for food. In pratyahara we try to put the senses in their proper place, but not cut them out of our actions entirely.

      Much of our emotional imbalance are our own creation. A person who is influenced by outside events and sensations can never achieve the inner peace and tranquility. This is because he or she will waste much mental and physical energy in trying to suppress unwanted sensations and to heighten other sensations. This will eventually result in a physical or mental imbalance, and will, in most instances, result in illness.

      Patanjali says that the above process is at the root of human unhappiness and uneasiness. When people seek out yoga, hoping to find that inner peace which is so evasive, they find that it was theirs all along. In a sense, yoga is nothing more than a process which enables us to stop and look at the processes of our own minds; only in this way can we understand the nature of happiness and unhappiness, and thus transcend them both.xii

VI. Dharana (Concentration and cultivating inner perceptual awareness)



      Dharana means "immovable concentration of the mind". The essential idea is to hold the concentration or focus of attention in one direction.  "When the body has been tempered by asanas, when the mind has been refined by the fire of pranayama and when the senses have been brought under control by pratyahara, the sadhaka (seeker) reaches the sixth stage, dharana. Here he is concentrated wholly on a single point or on a task in which he is completely engrossed. The mind has to be stilled in order to achieve this state of complete absorption."xiii

      In dharana we create the conditions for the mind to focus its attention in one direction instead of going out in many different directions. Deep contemplation and reflection can create the right conditions, and the focus on this one point that we have chosen becomes more intense. We encourage one particular activity of the mind and, the more intense it becomes, the more the other activities of the mind fall away.

      The objective in dharana is to steady the mind by focusing its attention upon some stable entity. The particular object selected has nothing to do with the general purpose, which is to stop the mind from wandering -through memories, dreams, or reflective thought-by deliberately holding it single-mindedly upon some apparently static object. B.K.S. Iyengar states that the objective is to achieve the mental state where the mind, intellect, and ego are "all restrained and all these faculties are offered to the Lord for His use and in His service. Here there is no feeling of 'I' and 'mine'."xiv

      When the mind has become purified by yoga practices, it becomes able to focus efficiently on one subject or point of experience. Now we can unleash the great potential for inner healing.

VII. Dhyana (Devotion , Meditation on the Divine)

      Dhyana means worship, or profound and abstract religious meditation. It is perfect contemplation. It involves concentration upon a point of focus with the intention of knowing the truth about it. The concept holds that when one focuses their mind in concentration on an object the mind is transformed into the shape of the object. Hence, when one focuses on the divine they become more reflective of it and they know their true nature. "His body, breath, senses, mind, reason and ego are all integrated in the object of his contemplation – the Universal Spirit."xv

      During dhyana, the consciousness is further unified by combining clear insights into distinctions between objects and between the subtle layers of perception. "We learn to differentiate between the mind of the perceiver, the means of perception, and the objects perceived, between words, their meanings, and ideas, and between all the levels of evolution of nature."xvi

      As we fine-tune our concentration and become more aware of the nature of reality we perceive that the world is unreal. "The only reality is the universal self, or God, which is veiled by Maya (the illusory power). As the veils are lifted, the mind becomes clearer. Unhappiness and fear – even the fear of death – vanishes. This state of freedom, or Moksha, is the goal of Yoga. It can be reached by constant enquiry into the nature of things."xvii Meditation becomes our tool to see things clearly and perceive reality beyond the illusions that cloud our mind.


VIII. Samadhi (Union with the Divine)



      The final step in the eight-fold path of Yoga is the attainment of Samadhi. Samadhi means "to bring together, to merge." In the state of samadhi the body and senses are at rest, as if asleep, yet the faculty of mind and reason are alert, as if awake; one goes beyond consciousness. During samadhi, we realize what it is to be an identity without differences, and how a liberated soul can enjoy pure awareness of this pure identity. The conscious mind drops back into that unconscious oblivion from which it first emerged.

      Thus, samadhi refers to union or true Yoga. There is an ending to the separation that is created by the "I" and "mine" of our illusory perceptions of reality. The mind does not distinguish between self and non-self, or between the object contemplated and the process of contemplation. The mind and the intellect have stopped and there is only the experience of consciousness, truth and unutterable joy.

      The achievement of samadhi is a difficult task. For this reason the Yoga Sutra suggests the practice of asanas and pranayama as preparation for dharana, because these influence mental activities and create space in the crowded schedule of the mind. Once dharana has occurred, dhyana and samadhi can follow.

      These eight steps of yoga indicate a logical pathway that leads to the attainment of physical, ethical, emotional, and psycho-spiritual health. Yoga does not seek to change the individual; rather, it allows the natural state of total health and integration in each of us to become a reality.xviii

THE PATH OF THE OCTOPUS: PART TWO

The Eight Limbs of Yoga described in The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali is the first way to conceptualize the path of the octopus. The second way is the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism.

The guide to the end of suffering: the Noble Eightfold Path.




The eight parts of the path to liberation are grouped into three essential elements of Buddhist practice-moral conduct (Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood); mental discipline (Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration); and wisdom (Right Understanding, Right Thought)-discussed further in the following sections of this book. The Buddha taught the Eightfold Path in virtually all his discourses, and his directions are as clear and practical to his followers today as they were when he first gave them.

1. Right Understanding (Samma ditthi)
2. Right Thought (Samma sankappa)
3. Right Speech (Samma vaca)
4. Right Action (Samma kammanta)
5. Right Livelihood (Samma ajiva)
6. Right Effort (Samma vayama)
7. Right Mindfulness (Samma sati)
8. Right Concentration (Samma samadhi)

Practically the whole teaching of the Buddha, to which he devoted himself during 45 years, deals in some way or other with this Path. He explained it in different ways and in different words to different people, according to the stage of their development and their capacity to understand and follow him. But the essence of those many thousand discourses scattered in the Buddhist Scriptures is found in the Noble Eightfold Path.

It should not be thought that the eight categories or divisions of the Path should be followed and practiced one after the other in the numerical order as given in the usual list above. But they are to be developed more or less simultaneously, as far as possible according to the capacity of each individual. They are all linked together and each helps the cultivation of the others.

These eight factors aim at promoting and perfecting the three essentials of Buddhist training and discipline: namely: (a) Ethical Conduct (Sila), (b) Mental Discipline (Samadhi) and (c) Wisdom (Panna). It will therefore be more helpful for a coherent and better understanding of the eight divisions of the Path if we group them and explain them according to these three heads.



Ethical Conduct (Sila) is built on the vast conception of universal love and compassion for all living beings, on which the Buddha's teaching is based. It is regrettable that many scholars forget this great ideal of the Buddha's teaching, and indulge in only dry philosophical and metaphysical divagations when they talk and write about Buddhism. The Buddha gave his teaching "for the good of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world". . . .

According to Buddhism, for a man to be perfect there are two qualities that he should develop equally: compassion (karuna) on one side, and wisdom (panna) on the other. Here compassion represents love, charity, kindness, tolerance and such noble qualities on the emotional side, or qualities of the heart, while wisdom would stand for the intellectual side or the qualities of the mind. If one develops only the emotional, neglecting the intellectual, one may become a good-hearted fool; while to develop only the intellectual side [and] neglecting the emotional may turn one into a hard-hearted intellect without feeling for others. Therefore, to be perfect one has to develop both equally. That is the aim of the Buddhist way of life: in it wisdom and compassion are inseparably linked together, as we shall see later.

Now, in Ethical Conduct (Sila), based on love and compassion, are included three factors of the Noble Eightfold Path: namely, Right Speech, Right Action and Right Livelihood. (Nos. 3,4 and 5 in the list).

Right speech means abstention (1) from telling lies, (2) from backbiting and slander and talk that may bring about hatred, enmity, disunity and disharmony among individuals or groups of people, (3) from harsh, rude, impolite, malicious and abusive language, and (4) from idle, useless and foolish babble and gossip. When one abstains from these forms of wrong and harmful speech one naturally has to speak the truth, has to use words that are friendly and benevolent, pleasant and gentle, meaningful and useful. One should not speak carelessly: speech should be at the right time and place. If one cannot say something useful, one should keep "noble silence."



Right Action aims at promoting moral, honorable and peaceful conduct. It admonishes us that we should abstain from destroying life, from stealing, from dishonest dealings, from illegitimate sexual intercourse, and that we should also help others to lead a peaceful and honorable life in the right way.

Right Livelihood means that one should abstain from making one's living through a profession that brings harm to others, such as trading in arms and lethal weapons, intoxicating drinks or poisons, killing animals, cheating, etc., and should live by a profession which is honorable, blameless and innocent of harm to others. One can clearly see here that Buddhism is strongly opposed to any kind of war, when it lays down that trade in arms and lethal weapons is an evil and unjust means of livelihood.

These three factors (Right Speech, Right Action and Right Livelihood) of the Eightfold Path constitute Ethical Conduct. It should be realized that the Buddhist ethical and moral conduct aims at promoting a happy and harmonious life both for the individual and for society. This moral conduct is considered as the indispensable foundation for all higher spiritual attainments. No spiritual development is possible without this moral basis.



Next comes Mental Discipline [see also pages 121-175], in which are included three other factors of the Eightfold Path: namely, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness (or Attentiveness) and Right Concentration. (Nos. 6, 7 and 8 in the list). Right Effort is the energetic will (1) to prevent evil and unwholesome states of mind from arising, and (2) to get rid of such evil and unwholesome states that have already arisen within a man, and also (3) to produce, to cause to arise, good and wholesome states of mind not yet arisen, and (4) to develop and bring to perfection the good and wholesome states of mind already present in a man.

Right Mindfulness (or Attentiveness) is to be diligently aware, mindful and attentive with regard to (1) the activities of the body (kaya), (2) sensations or feelings (vedana), (3) the activities of the mind (citta) and (4) ideas, thoughts, conceptions and things (dhamma).

The practice of concentration on breathing (anapanasati) is one of the well-known exercises, connected with the body, for mental development. There are several other ways of developing attentiveness in relation to the body as modes of meditation.

With regard to sensations and feelings, one should he clearly aware of all forms of feelings and sensations, pleasant, unpleasant and neutral, of how they appear and disappear within oneself.

Concerning the activities of mind, one should be aware whether one's mind is lustful or not, given to hatred or not, deluded or not, distracted or concentrated, etc. In this way one should be aware of all movements of mind, how they arise and disappear.



As regards ideas, thoughts, conceptions and things, one should know their nature, how they appear and disappear, how they are developed, how they are suppressed, and destroyed, and so on.

These four forms of mental culture or meditation are treated in detail in the Satipatthana Sutta (Setting-up of Mindfulness).

The third and last factor of Mental Discipline is Right Concentration, leading to the four stages of Dhyana, generally called trance or recueillement. In the first stage of Dhyana, passionate desires and certain unwholesome thoughts like sensuous lust, ill-will, languor, worry, restlessness, and skeptical doubt are discarded, and feelings of joy and happiness are maintained, along with certain mental activities. In the second stage, all intellectual activities are suppressed, tranquillity and "one-pointedness" of mind developed, and the feelings of joy and happiness are still retained. In the third stage, the feeling of joy, which is an active sensation, also disappears, while the disposition of happiness still remains in addition to mindful equanimity. In the fourth stage of Dhyana, all sensations, even of happiness and unhappiness, of joy and sorrow, disappear, only pure equanimity and awareness remaining.

Thus the mind is trained and disciplined and developed through Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration.



The remaining two factors, namely Right Thought and Right Understanding, go to constitute Wisdom.

Right Thought denotes the thoughts of selfless renunciation or detachment, thoughts of love and thoughts of non-violence, which are extended to all beings. It is very interesting and important to note here that thoughts of selfless detachment, love and non-violence are grouped on the side of wisdom. This clearly shows that true wisdom is endowed with these noble qualities, and that all thoughts of selfish desire, ill-will, hatred and violence are the result of a lack of wisdom in all spheres of life whether individual, social, or political.

Right Understanding is the understanding of things as they are, and it is the Four Noble Truths that explain things as they really are. Right Understanding therefore is ultimately reduced to the understanding of the Four Noble Truths. This understanding is the highest wisdom which sees the Ultimate Reality. According to Buddhism there are two sorts of understanding: What we generally call understanding is knowledge, an accumulated memory, an intellectual grasping of a subject according to certain given data. This is called "knowing accordingly" (anubodha). It is not very deep. Real deep understanding is called "penetration" (pativedha), seeing a thing in its true nature, without name and label. This penetration is possible only when the mind is free from all impurities and is fully developed through meditation.

From this brief account of the Path, one may see that it is a way of life to be followed, practiced and developed by each individual. It is self-discipline in body, word and mind, self-development and self-purification. It has nothing to do with belief, prayer, worship or ceremony. In that sense, it has nothing which may popularly be called "religious." It is a Path leading to the realization of Ultimate Reality, to complete freedom, happiness and peace through moral, spiritual and intellectual perfection.

I gather what Moonshoe is suggesting is a yoga.

Knowledge should be combined with genuine, responsible action; otherwise you end up rationalizing the wrong things in an ultimately weak position, justifying trivialities with no existential horizon... You gotta get behind the mule, and do the work of life, in other words. And the difficult lesson is not something you prove; it just comes through you.

What people do not realize, is they are born into a way of being where the way of knowledge and the way of action are split into theorized archetypes, and classes/castes of existence, and roles and jobs, family, and generally speaking the mythological divisions of society which we take to be real which are not. Yoga is not denying conventionality,we come through, but the positive, living principle that Knowledge and Action, like tendencies of stillness and movement in nature should be yoked together in conscious existence. Why? Well you do it, and you see.

Yoga is not just the top of the mountain, but the way to be above fear in the world, and how to be the same in pleasure and pain in your journey, by doing the work and duty you have to yourself....Whether this self is God or no god, something like this is definitive of conscious life and can benefit anyone. It can produce the rare example of self responsibility, and authenticity

Anyway good work compiling these teachings. What ties together is knowledge and experience! Be true about it! The nature of the internet partly disposes us in our philosophy forum, to intellectual discernment. Maybe seeing this come up will be a good reminder of perspective to a few? It may be true that life is best examined, as Socrates said, but that is just the first part, tied to the second, the more important part, that philosophy is best lived.

Cognitive dissonance

In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, performs an action that is contradictory to one or more beliefs, ideas or values, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values.


*sigh* This is like spoon-feeding.





first paragraph from your wiki link..... un-edited
Quote:

In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress (discomfort) experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values; when performing an action that contradicts existing beliefs, ideas, or values; or when confronted with new information that contradicts existing beliefs, ideas, and values.[1][2]




I'll leave it open for debate which of us is experiencing cognitive dissonance




Once again you miss the boat. This is not about challenging old beliefs with a new paradigm; it is about simultaneously holding two disparate beliefs.

I clearly pointed out Moonshoe's cognitive dissonance. I would be very surprised if you could point out mine. Naturally, neither you nor MS will address my points as that would take intellectual honesty and an actual desire for discussion.

Moonshoe seems to be content to preach rather than engage even though, as a long-time member, he knows that is not the purpose of this forum.

I think it is great that MS is ripped, but I am wondering if I should post a photo of a fat, bloated Yogananda who died from diabetes.

Or if I should post about the battles between Ananda and the Self Realization Fellowship; both branches of the same tree. Can anyone say "ego"?

Or if I should post about Swami Kriyananda's sexual abuse of his position as a spiritual teacher after 50 years of meditation, yoga, vegetarian diet, pranayama and other "spiritual" practices.

What is the relevance? Both men and both organizations devoted their lives to yoga (union) yet seemingly display no greater wisdom or spirituality or even health, in Yogananda's case, than non-yoga practitioners.

:adishakti:

Its interesting for me to read this OP now. I actually wrote it when I was about 14 or 15 years old. My conceptions of the philosophy in the OP have matured and developed significantly, but I think its safe to say I believe in the core of it now more than ever. I will write a new chapter expressing how I see these topics now as 29 year old coming up on 30. I have now lived as many years after writing this OP as I had before writing it.

The main way my philosophy has changed is I have become much more martial, disciplined, and religious over time, and the idealistic mysticism of the OP has been tempered by my dedication to the path of Mixed Martial Arts, unarmed combat and survivalism, and I have become completely dedicated to devotional love of and submission to God.

My path can be summarized in one line:

I have dedicated my existence to meditation, martial arts and yoga, seeing these as literally one unified discipline and not seperate things at all.

I am now a fully devout Sikh, and am in love with my religion.

My awakening as a mixed martial artist and as a Sikh are one and the same. My path is that of the warrior mystic and soldier-saint.

These are my aspirations and the identity that I am striving daily to cultivate.

Martial arts, yoga and meditation as the supreme vehicle for human cultivation and development leading to ultimate salvation and enlightenment.

Martial arts are one way to self discipline.

Self discipline is but one way to salvation.

We survive and combat only against the mind of ourselves,

Be sure not to grow into the fight and consider yourself refined.

Your younger OP was exceptional and true to spirit. Hark regression! :thumbup:

i do not understand the word salvation... like to be saved from what? yourself?

spirit is but a piece of the whole, im just speaking from experience, working out doing exercises and being active has been a major part of my awakening,  that you are molding the perfect physical version of yourself its also has psychology of mind over matter, discipline to keep pushing beyond your limits, to tell yourself to keep running even tho your out of breath and cant feel your legs, you are expanding and growing out of your comfort zone mentally and physically.

oh yea you cannot bring this perfect vessel of God to its full potential without using it to its full potential.

whether that be a martial art yoga runnning hitting the gym, point is to know your body.

'Salvation' refers to the state where you have won over yourself by means of having discovered and ridded of the bulk of wrong mindedness which we are all born to possess.  These are labelled 'sins' and include bad acts and over indulgences in anything which places material and / or oneself as the priority.

Self discipline and activities are a part as you stated which contribute more towards attaining a higher mind and maintaining a higher mind, physiologically and biologically.  Over indulgence and over concern of the body however becomes anti-spirit and a sole product of ego.  'Pushing the limits' can be an act which is entirely subjective.  There are people who wish to experience different angles of life to extend spirit (their own and others as the 'one') and there are people who are in bondage to their individual, ego minds. 

Over-indulgence, which is, more often than not, for selfish means, literally deducts from the spiritual channel through biological abundance.  When the intention becomes selfish, chemicals become dominant and the spirit is left banging at the door.

Like the mushroom, and true to the cliche', the key is moderation.  This establishes the different between physical activity being a contributing spiritual factor, or an act of wrong minded animalism.  In the same respect, a person can claim that they are exploring the beauty of freedom and the art of sex with debauchery, which in turn narrows the mind significantly towards the need to orgasm.

Spiritual revelations are of no use and are of little original meaning if we can grow out of them.  Many people are thrashing their bodies at the current time and it's actually setting the stage for some shockingly concerning displays of egoism. We need only glance at Instagomorrah for several examples of this.  Everyone however is not dedicating time to answering questions that no-one else finds the courage to face.

The body is the vessel in which we reside whilst we try to find answers.  Physical activity isn't the answer in itself.  It's the housekeeping.  It's maintenance of the only place you have here from which seek answers.

haha instagamorrah, good one.

im not saying physical activities is the answer to finding ones true self.

i can be physically active but accomplish nothing, its a form of alchemy you have to put you mind inside of your body to push the envelop of your reality in this you work to achieve a balanced life.

this is the key, balance, i see brainiacs walking around, gym rats, new agers but i dont see any MAATIAN warriors, balanced to their center.

we need the trifecta mind. body, and soul why place more importance on one than the other?

Yep. Activities and thoughts that are good for mind, body and spirit are those which are not, if taken too far. 

'MMA' is a great example of wrong-mindedness and demonstrates brilliantly a seemingly complete out of touch to spiritual.

MMA is widely misunderstood.  The comments of someone who has obviously neither knowledge or experience of it, although arrogant as you say, are completely irrelevant.

How much would you make of the negative opinion about Sex expressed by someone who not only never had sex in their entire life but also couldn't do it if they tried nor could even meaningfully understand what they were witnessing if they saw someone else doing it?

It is arrogant to assume that a person has no experience, or that something so apparent necessitates experience. :thumbup:

Likewise, it could be said that it's to be expected that an activity of this form will cultivate some form of abrupt 'self defence' by those who are seemingly engrossed in its very error.

I notice that MS STILL has failed to address a single salient point that I brought up. Is the point of this thread merely to preach, to brag or to engage in ACTUAL DISCUSSION?

I honestly do not see any progress. How can a person be here for 13 years and still fail to abide by the spirit of the forum? This is not a personal journal space.

So you are complaining that I wont respond to you, but you wont explain what you want me to respond to?

If you want to talk, raise a point now and I will respond. If not that is also fine with me.


So far I haven't noticed anything you said in this thread that merited or deserved a response. If I missed something, or you have a new point you think is worthy of my attention, raise it now.

If not, please understand that I am not actively ignoring you, you simply haven't said anything interesting to me.

You cant say I am ducking questions because I flat out asked you what your questions are and you declined to pose any. I literally gave you your chance and you choked.  When the spotlight was on you, you dropped the mic and ran.

You had an opportunity to engage and you wilted like a flaccid cock.

So be it.

Recalling that this statement was made by a 14 year old version of my now 30 year old self, let me try to explain what that teenage boy meant.

Just like we have a heart beat with a pulse and a rest, there is a sunrise and sunset, a summer and a winter, a big bang and a big crunch, an activity and a rest, a positive and a negative polarity.

Like us humans, God/The Universe wakes and sleeps, stirs and stills.

I was simply restating what so many mystic philosophers have said over the ages- as above, so below.

The macrocosm mirrors the microcosm. There is a positive and negative polarity on grand cosmic scales and on individual human scales.

So (+) + (-) = ∞ ?

I'm seriously trying to understand this but it seems to oppose my 'cultural conditioning'.

I still don't see how the heart rate equates to the Sun rise?

Quote:

A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute.




I mean big bang sure, big crunch? Still open to interpretation. Could be the big crunch, could be the big expanse of a blip of low entropy.

Apparently an "interesting post" is one that agrees with the OP. I notice that no moderator stepped in when MS posted page upon page of preaching stuff.

Not surprising that LE retracted his attack rather then 'fess up to his sins. I have protected his secret for years despite his non-stop personal bashing. PM me if you want to know what's what.

Respectful = debating in good faith; not taking shit does not equate to being hostile.

Moonshoe deliberately posted known lies about me many years ago out of spite and never retracted nor apologized. What does Buddha or Jesus say about that? How can that possibly be spiritual in any fashion?

What about lying and slander because you don't care for someone? Is that spiritual? Simple and direct question.

More preaching means what? Certainly not an answer nor a sign of maturity. For those of you unaware, MS spread lies and yet wants to be taken seriously as some sort of advanced being; which, of course, is counter to any spiritual teaching. But he has abs! :cheer:

A mature person would look at his past and make amends. All I see is ego.

What lies ? What past? If you are actually referring to anything, mention it. I have no idea what you are talking about and presumably neither does anyone else.

(I am innocent because I cannot remember past transgressions.) That is a good one!

Do you think that LE withdrew because I made shit up? Of course not.

But hey, you win! You are a spiritual giant among ordinary men! :congrats:

This OP was written when I was 14 or 15 years old, half my lifetime ago. The title was originally "How I remembered that I was God". Now as a 29 year old man, my ideas have developed. Accordingly, I have changed the title of this thread to reflect a humble attitude of devotional love and submission to God leading to Union.




based on your new reflection, I think you would get more interest in the religion and spirituality forum.

There is nothing wrong with posting it here AS LONG AS ONE ENGAGES WITH OTHER POSTERS; not just acolytes that write, "Hey, that was right on, brother!"

Still wondering if having abs is spiritual and if bragging about such is humble. I was ripped at 38 and not so much any more. Am I less spiritual now because my body has aged and hormone levels have dropped?

Bodybuilders MUST be the most spiritual people on the planet! :cookiemonster:

I think you have the wrong number sir.

I don't know who LE is , what you are referring to or how it connects to this thread.

I am starting to think you don't actually know who I am and have either mistaken me for someone else , or are in the grips of alzheimers or some such condition.

Regardless, because you aren't making any sense or communicating in any comprehensible or meaningful way, I am going to stop wasting time giving you the attention you seem to crave but not know what to do with when you get it.

Good luck to you sir.

LE is Lunar Eclipse, and he immediately removed his post when called out. Check it out.

As to having memory problems, I am not the one who forgot what personal crap he wrote many years ago. But then again, I am not one with God as you are. :levitate:

What's going on is that Moonshoe is setting himself up as a teacher and role model while denying his past transgressions. He is claiming humility whilst bragging. I see this sort of blind dichotomy all the time.

You are making accusations without explaining them or providing any details or evidence which are thus utterly meaningless.

To do so is dishonorable, and you bring shame on yourself with such conduct.

Sometimes it has all been said and all that's left is to thank a certain poster? Beats some pointless hubris that makes you sound wikkadz.
