  1. From a Spiritual POV, in contrast to a Sentient POV, the quotes used were meant to breakthough the paradigm that "Meditation can shift consciousness via mysticism to the timeless or the becoming of the present moment." I can understand that you appear to have invested much in Mystical and Mentational group thinks,...sentient beings can get quite upset when anything threatens their beliefs. As for me,...have not come across a single example of someone who realized the Absolute Present through mysticism or meditation. For example,...Historically, Siddhartha Gautama was near dead from meditation when a young girl named Sujata (likely a dakini) offered him some food (perhaps rice cooked in milk). Some say a state of appreciation filled him from this meal, and others as he recovered his physical strength, through a state of appreciation, he realized the nature of Dependent Origination from which suffering arises. The bottom line is that he was not "Awakened" through meditation or mysticism. "After Buddha's passing away, monks and nuns only emphasized meditation; there was no interest in studying the teachings." Anam Thubten I totally laugh every time I see an image of Buddha meditating,...what reason would a Buddha have meditating? AND NO,...one does not "get rid of all the small illusory me stories"....one gets rid of ALL THE STORIES. All personal truths are lies.
  2. I do feel the humor when reading of Sciential minded theists seeking to prove the existence of their God. No,...science does not need a new paradigm to enhance the God meme,...they need to let go of their sentience so to view reality as it is. "the ego is a monkey catapulting through the jungle; totally fascinated by the realm of the senses....if anyone threaten it, it actually fears for its life. Let this monkey go. Let the senses go." Lao-tzu "The senses do not grasp reality in any way" Socrates However,...I do agree that there is an Intelligence at work,...one could say an evil intelligence that seeks to sustain itself and prevent egos from realizing the truth. There’s a relevant story in the Kevatta Sutta about God/Allah/Brahma the Magnificent. A talented monk who wanted to find out the answer to the question, “Where do the four elements cease without remainder?” Through meditation he reached the Heaven of the Four Great Kings, who did not know the answer. Next he went to the thirty three gods in a higher Desire Realm heaven, but none of these rulers knew either. He then asked King Sakka (Indra), the king of these gods, but Sakka did not know the answer. Up and up he went asking all sorts of gods at each and every higher level. Finally he came to Great Brahma, the Creator, the One Uncreated, Knower of All. When the monk finally achieved an audience with Great Brahma, Brahma appeared in all his majesty and glory announcing, "I am Great Brahma, the Conqueror, the Unconquered, the All-Seeing, All-Powerful, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Ruler, Appointer and Orderer, Father of All That Have Been and Shall Be." The monk then humbly and respectfully asked his question, but all Great Brahma did was repeat, "I am Great Brahma, the Conqueror, the Unconquered, the All-Seeing, All-Powerful, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Ruler, Appointer and Orderer, Father of All That Have Been and Shall Be." The monk eventually got frustrated and said, “I know you are "Great Brahma, the Conqueror, the Unconquered, the All-Seeing, All-Powerful, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Ruler, Appointer and Orderer, Father of All That Have Been and Shall Be," but I asked you a question about where the four elements cease without remainder. The Great Brahma replied, “Listen little monk, don’t embarrass me. All these other gods are listening and think I know everything. If you want to know the answer to a question like that, don’t ask me. I don’t know the answer. For a question like that, you have to go ask the Buddha.”
  3. First,...if you are serious about Self-Actualization, forget about Mystical experiences. As Adyashanti said, "the mystical experience is the highest form of a "Me" experience." You want to let go of your Me Stories and Personal beliefs,...because they are all lies. Second,...you want to forget about meditation,...meditation is a fabulous tool for training the mind to interact with time in a different way. Non-meditation uncovers that which is beyond time; the Present,... Heart-Mind,...to place yourself in unfabricated present awareness. "Do you think you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear." Lao-Tzu Huahujing “If your purpose is to medicate dukkha,...then meditate. If your wish is bodhi,...practice absolute bodhicitta.” a Chan saying. Hui Neng said that meditation is unnecessary, and warned that such practice can easily become a narcotic. "Free yourself from meditation, practice non-meditation" - Kyergangpa Chökyi Senge One of my favorite Non-Meditation practices is the Supermarket Activity. The Supermarket Activity is one of the 'JUST BECAUSE CLUB' activities to bring pause to ego. Allow yourself 1 hour to go to a grocery store,....the kind you typically purchace something each time you go. Search: Just Because Club Strange Experiments in Perception Instructions: Inside the store, which you enter and leave without contacting or handling a door, you touch nothing, neither a cart, nor a basket, nor any item. While inside during your 60 minute visit, you read nothing (no lables), speak to no one, and avoid allowing anyone to speak to you. If any of the above stipulations are compromised, then immediately pick up something, which does not have to be expensive, purchase it, and leave. Then try the task again at another time. There is plenty of time for discussion and analysis after your completion of the task. If you have to abort the task, simply consider it as an unaccomplished task, without any thought as to what it is, or is for,...but just something on your to-do-list. “Truth lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.” Goethe There are also ways to do this through 5Rhythms practice,...which will take one beyond the simulation stage,...when pathways are open,...through which transformational triggers can precipitate for us an uncovering of tremendums, that is, direct ecstatic experiences,...because ego, beliefs, "me Stories," personal truths, and attachment to the past are brought to a pause , and thus, being free of preconceived references, engage us, if just for a "taste", in the absolute Present,...which means, stepping out of horizontal time. Actually,....from all I've read,...this was Gabrielle Roth's intent. McKenna wrote,...."Many people can build nuclear reactors, compose symphonies, conquer nations, or can perform brain surgery, but very few can see what is. Spiritual awakening is about discovering what’s true. Anything that’s not about getting to the truth must be discarded. Truth isn’t about knowing things; you already know too much. It’s about unknowing. It’s not about becoming true; it’s about unbecoming false so that all that’s left is truth." "The real seeker of truth never seeks truth. On the contrary, she tries to clean herself of all that is untrue, inauthentic, insincere." Chandra Mohan Jain "in my regard there is no view on which to meditate" - Kunje Gyalpo
  4. “The mind cannot comprehend an entirely new idea until a corresponding vibratory brain cell has been prepared to receive it.” Charles F. Haanel. In the meantime,... “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer. I'm not a mathematician,..was actually my least favorite subject while being indoctrinated into this sciential knowledge driven culture. Like most students with a major in philosophy, was instructed about countable infinity, positive infinity, negative infinity, cosmological infinity, potential infinity,absolute infinity,Zeno's paradox, etc., none of which interested me,...it was all about impermanence,...the simulation,...the Box,...and met many who went down that hard to escape from rabbit hole. What captured my curiousity was Zero. In the 90's spend a year in Palenque researching the Mayan cero (the white conch). Not an Empty Set,...but Zero,...that which does not does not include a Set. Zero upsets peoples sensory-based logic. While in Palenque got the opportunity to hang out again with Terence McKenna, among others. We previous spent time together in Charlottesville,...but the fresh mushrooms in Chiapas are primo. "There is no liberation to compare with freeing oneself from the illusions and delusions of the age in which one lives." Terence McKenna From a Spiritual point of view (that is, a non-sensory awareness of the in-breath and out-breath of duality), infinity has become a voguish topic among the sciential minded and New Agers tethered to an abundance of sophistry (personal truths). Unfortunately, theories about infinite space, time, and quantity are seldom considered as the imaginary math they are,...in contrast to applied or relative math (that is, how to live successfully in the Dream). This fantasy math, what Aristotle called potential infinity, is fundamentally limited, just as Space-Time is limited,...a finite volume that can be looped, although with a sensory appearence of a continuum. Among of the first things that someone serious about elevating their Conscious Awareness inquires about is accepting that the 6 senses (seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, smelling, and thinking) cannot observe reality. "Recognize that everything you see and think is a falsehood, an illusion, a veil over the truth" - Lao-tzu The patriarchal constructs of Priests of Science and metaphysical gurus thrive off of their sentience,...usually explaining their wisdom through concepts like Set Theory. For me, the word wisdom is a TELL that it's not a good moment to engage in conversation. Wisdom literally means knowledge accumulated through philosophic or scientific learning. In other words, wisdom points to the highest and most lofty ideas of ego consciousness, whose sole purpose is to sustain itself. Not much spiritual value in wisdom. "Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche Infinity is a term whose accepted definitions point to a relationship with space/time, thus like space/time, infinity is not real. There is no "set" which is infinite beyond our perceptions. On another hand, Eternity, which is not a synonym of infinity, but that without beginning or end,... does not need space/time to exist. Time and eternity are contradictions. Quantum cosmologists Steven Hawking and Jim Hartle said in their No-Boundary theory, that the concept of a beginning in time is meaningless. That is to say, there was no Big Bang, no singularity, no creation, no Creator, no beginning nor end, because there is no time. Enlightened Bodhisattva's been saying that for a few thousand years through their realization of Timelessness. "To be proven wrong should be celebrated, for it is elevating someone to a new level of understanding.” Peter Joseph Merola When viewing broad slices of Space-Time within Dream's Box before the understanding of the Box, is a wonderous, albeit deceptive, conditional experience. For example, Most don't realize that each of the endocrine glands, associated with the seven main chakras, are all orgasmic. If one had a sentient experience with "infinity," it may be like three endocrine gland ejaculating,...a huge event for one used to only Root Chakra orgasms. Ego loves experiences that validate Dream's Box. Following such "infinity viewings" the unprepared novice often exclaims of having had a union with God,...and that is actually correct,...because God is synonymous with the One Lever upon which Duality effects its motion. However,...when the motion ceases, so does the One Lever that is God,...and the Still, Causeless Fulcrum,...Zero,...the Absolute,...Undivided Light,...our home is revealed. "As man unfolds from sensed man to spiritual man he gradually becomes aware of the two-way motion of all effect" - Walter Russell. There is nothing beyond the Box (metatrons cube). Nothing ever happens in the Box. . There is no Box,...it's a simulation,...there is no One Lever or Dual Movement. The Box is not "part" of the Fulcrum. Undivided Light,...the Tao,...is proof that no God exists. Know God, no Spirituality; Gnow Spirituality, no God. "The senses do not grasp reality in any way" Socrates
  5. Infinity within a Set,...a Set that is ultimately not real,...love it! No wonder Nobel Prize-winning physicist Charles Townes said, “Many people don’t realize that science basically involves assumptions and faith.”
  6. Quite certain that no amount of mystical or divinely conditioned experiences will ever have a Direct Experience with the Absolute. Experience arisen through belief can only be experienced through the condition of that belief,...thus not a Direct Experience. The question of my Direct Experiences have neither been dodged nor denied. In fact I recall commentting on my first Unfeigned Surrender in Dec '74,...my first experience with Undivided Light. And it was mentioned that I not only retired 9 months following that tremendum, but had at least a thousand similar direct experiences. A more important question would be why are you and others insistent on hearing stories of direct experience? Yes,...I've had more Peak Experiences than the average Italian has had pizza in their life,...so what,...how does that help someone serious about the Great Juncture from sentient being to spiritual being take the leap? Someone once said,..."Go jump off a cliff. Don’t go near the cliff and contemplate jumping off. Don’t read a book about jumping off. Don’t study the art and science of jumping off. Don’t join a support group for jumping off. Don’t write poems about jumping off. Don't cling to a parachute as you jump. Don’t kiss the ass of someone else who jumped off. Just jump." To be clear,...I do not use the words of the awakened as Truth, without my own direct experience of Truth. In fact,...the words of the "awakened" that I use are always prior to experiences. And also keep in mind,...most quotes I use are not from the "awakened,"...but applicable to my message. For example,...T. S. Eliot was surely NOT an awakened being,...but on occasion I've used his quote, "Human kind cannot bear very much reality." IMO, quotations and aphorisms can serve as a mentoring device for those who venture into the liminal zone between duality’s sciential sentience and the sapiential consciousness of authentic spirituality. But again,...as mentioned before,...using quotations are an excellent TELL of those not really interested in Truth Realization,...but rather their own glorification and status. And to really aggravate those tethered to the Substance Levels of Spiral Dynamics,...the Spiritual Pretenders,...my last book is a Collage of quotes, with the messenger numbered instead of written out. "99.9% of the World's so-called wisdom, East and West, for the purposes of awakening, is about as useful as a glass of warm spit with a hair in it." Jed McKenna I'm only interested in the <0.1% who are actually desirous of Awakening. A Yellow (SD 7) who appears close the Momentous Leap said, "When you can write your biography on the size of a stamp and you still have space left over, then I would like to meet you."
  7. Yes,...there is a point to life,...and it's the same point for everyone,...of course ego will not except that. I can explain the point of life, but why? Some have explained it before, no different than others, yet adjusted for the language of that time,... but few have welcomed it. "Contradictions in perspective among those Seeing the profound do not occur" – Taranatha. Your question, "Is there point of life?" indicates that you're unaware of a single absolute truth,...so that could be your starting point if the answer to your question is serious. Most settle for making up a story so that it's more palatable for one's beliefs,...usually something "divine" fills in their blank,...and there is a most profound reason why some 95% of humanity believe in personal theistic story. “Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.” Ramana Maharshi "If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of your self." Lao Tzu, Huahujing The process to awakening is about uncovering truth,....not Relative Truth, which arises from the 6 senses,...but Absolute Truth,...and the way to uncover truth is letting go of all that is false so you can recognize what's left. "The real seeker of truth never seeks truth. On the contrary, she tries to clean herself of all that is untrue, inauthentic, insincere." Chandra Mohan Jain And keep in mind,..."Two truths cannot contradict one another” - Galileo Galilei If you ever hear someone say, "lets agree to disagree,"...they have no interest in truth. Now,...for the real scary part,...if you honestly desire to uncover truth,...you must let go of ALL your "personal truth." Personal truths are always lies. When you except that,...next step could be an investigation about why everything you see, taste, smell, touch, hear, and think is a lie. “All that I have tried to understand to the present time has been affected by my senses; now I know these senses are deceivers, and it is prudent to be distrustful after one has been deceived once.” René Descartes "Recognize that everything you see and think is a falsehood, an illusion, a veil over the truth" Lao-tzu "The senses do not grasp reality in any way" Socrates "Those who are greatly deluded about enlightenment are sentient beings." Dōgen Any teacher who does not expound on the nature of sentience has no interest in truth,...nor Spirituality. Bodhisattva's take a vow to help liberate sentient beings from their sentience for a reason.
  8. It is said that Yellow (SD 7) integrates to realize the highest potential,...thus they are open to learning/unlearning at any time and from any source, like bees that gather nectar from many flowers. There is such joy in communing with those interested in Self-Inquiry and uncovering their Unborn Awareness. As I'm not a teacher nor desire to waste my time dialoguing with those stuck in Substance Level paradigms, thus I often use quotes; because they seem to quickly identify those who lack integrity and honesty, and are easily distracted by predispositions, especially about the messenger. The quotes I use are never OUT OF CONTEXT with the context in which I'm using them. Using quotes both distances me from the label of being a teacher or attempting teach, and they often irritate narrow-minded, Substance Level people. Overall I'd like to connect with those who catch the point of the message, instead of drifting off with some predispositions about the messenger. Especially pathetic are those who believe a poster should use "their own words;" an instant TELL that they are First-tier thinkers. That said,....an applicable quote comes to mind for critiquing Ramaji's RASA 1000 LOC: "99.9% of the World's so-called wisdom, East and West, for the purposes of awakening, is about as useful as a glass of warm spit with a hair in it." While there are many unusable and unexpanded on references to Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta,...overall the book has nothing to do with Spiritual[ity,]...a word it mentions 500 times. For example,...the word "hope" is mentioned 26 times; yet it is only used correctly twice, in the same sentence,...and used without direct experience. "Hope is for fools,...drop your hopes." Ramaji. WHY? Hope is an important subject for anyone desirous of revealing their potential spiritual nature. Is there a more dishonest, perniciousness word than hope? hope n. from ME. hopa, an expectation. 1. expectation of something desired; anticipation of some future event. 2. a guess or belief. 3. that which gives hope; a substance or object hoped for; an expected payoff. No matter what level we wish to view it from, hope is false. Hope is an anticipation of the future; thus it must arise from a predisposition, a belief, and attachment to the past. Hope implies lack,...how else could we possibly define it? Hope is for something we think we don't possess. How could hope ever be expressed through an Open-Mind or Open-Heart ? The belief of hope is a barrier that obscures the present. If our attention is on seeking hope, how are we to ever experience the immediacy required to be in the Present? “the highest goal is being devoid of hope and fear…. And when all hopes and fears have died, the Goal is reached.” Tilopa Another very important subject for anyone wanting to experience the ABSOLUTE is sentience,....which is not mentioned in 1000 LOC,....although the term sentient is scribed four times with the wit of a typical Green (SD 6). "The senses do not grasp reality in any way" Socrates "Recognize that eveything you see and think is a falsehood, an illusion, a veil over the truth" - Lao-tzu Without understanding the senses,...how is one desirous of Awakening to the Absolute ever honestly going to uncover the Absolute? In the only mention of the "senses," Ramaji spews, "Enjoy your five senses,...be just this and nothing else,...this is it." Actually there are 6 senses,...seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, touching, and thinking,...and I guarantee you, NO ONE can see, taste, smell, hear, touch, or think in the Present. “Phenomenally, we can know no present, as it must be in the ‘past’ before our senses can complete the process of recording it, leaving only a suppositional past and future; noumenally, there is no question of ‘past’ or ‘future,’ but only a presence that knows neither ‘time’ nor ‘space.’ ” Wei Wu Wei "Relativity says that the future and past have equal validity. All events are frozen in this giant block (Space-Time). We just happen to perceive one end of the block as the past, and the other end as the future, and that we are moving in a certain direction. But that's just a function of our perception, and doesn't reflect any physical reality." Ted Chiang "The idea that the future is no different than the past doesn't sit well with a lot of people, because we like to think of the future as being indetermenate, open-ended, and not fixed the way the past is. But physics suggests that the future is just as fixed as the past." Ted Chiang "When is Now? The now in our brain is actually the past, and admittedly, the brain does a pretty good job of compensating for its own delay by predicting the old future and therefore the perceived present; although runs into problems when the future is less predictable, like when swatting a fly." Hinze Hogendoorn Every page of 1000 LOC is enough to make a Bodhisattva nauseous for its attempt to step between sentient beings and their direct experience. And Ramaji's list of 400 teachers divined through muscle testing (a kinesiological technique which uses the BODY, which is not real, to print a biased number regarding the level of "spiritual teachers," the majority of whom don't have a clue what spirituality is,...including Ramaji. No one desirous for Self-Actualization would take this book seriously.
  9. I can explain HOW divided light arises/manifests,...how spectra condenses into Form,...but if your question is WHY,...at the ultimate level,...that's not in my purview,...LOL I do understand why we are in this 3rd density,...because the Higher Selves of most are stuck in the 6th density, which is likely the worse place to be in the Dream. Researcher Robert Monroe suggested this 6th density should be called Religious Terminus,...a place like Harry Nilsson’s fable of Oblio’s in the Land of Point, where everyone was required by law to have a point, and everything had to have a point,...in the case of the 6th density,...everyone believes in Oneness,...the One Lever,...which only exists because of the motion of duality. There is no One without the Many,...no Here without a There,...no Center without a Boundary. “He who thinks of mind in terms of One or Many casts away the light and enters delusion” - Saraha
  10. Two points of critique: First,.."your consciousness?" If one inquires deeply enough there is a reveal that there is no "your consciousness." There is consciousness,...and one's only relationship to that is your own level of Conscious Awareness,...the better you are at receiving, like a radio and its ability with signal strength, the more Conscious Awareness one has. Second,...which isn't very popular on this form,...is that meditators will have a VERY difficult time understanding anything about "consciousness." For example: "Do you think you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear." Lao-Tzu Huahujing “If your purpose is to medicate dukkha,...then meditate. If your wish is bodhi,...practice absolute bodhicitta.” a Chan saying. Hui Neng said that meditation is unnecessary, and warned that such practice can easily become a narcotic. "After Buddha's passing away, monks and nuns only emphasized meditation; there was no interest in studying the teachings." Anam Thubten “Many people like meditation. But it is not very constructive or useful. It does not decrease our negative mindsets of anger, attachments, etc. It does not increase our qualities of kindness, truthfulness and wisdom. So, we might be able to sit still single-pointedly for four or five hours, but what’s the point? It’s like a pigeon!” Khadro-la "Meditation, yoga, or one of the many so-called spiritual activities has little to do with liberation from delusion, and everything do to with their desperation to escape busy, unhappy lives, and heartfelt longing for a healthy, stress-free, happy life" Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche "Free yourself from meditation, practice non-meditation" - Kyergangpa Chökyi Senge "The practice of meditation is represented by the three monkeys, who cover their eyes, ears and mouths so as to avoid the phenomenal world. The practice of non-meditation is ceasing to be the see-er, hearer or speaker while eyes, ears and mouths are fulfilling their function in daily life." - Wei Wu Wei "in my regard there is no view on which to meditate" - Kunje Gyalpo And yes,...I understand that meditators, especially "adept meditators" who have invested years with meditation don't want to hear that everything they believe to be meaningful is actually meaningless,...but just think of all those tethered to paradigms like theism,...emancipation from beliefs often requires an emotional evaluation.
  11. Divided Light bends, manifests shadows, colors, hues,...not Undivided Light. The closest contemporary literature I've seen on Light was by Walter Russell,...if not for his belief in theism, his Secret of Light would have been perfect. From pre-Islamic invasion points of view (before the Thirteenth Century), there was significant references to Clear Light,...such as Naropa saying, "By learning to recognize the Clear Light during one's lifetime, an adept may return to it without difficulty when the shock of death threatens to disorient them” Vajrayana says that unless one realizes Clear (Undivided) Light before death, then at death one no longer retains their Conscious Awareness,...and get re-added to the soup within the Loop of rebirthing. As for Undivided Light creating,...NO it does not. Divided Light creates, or perhaps better said, manifests. God is a creator synonymous with Divided Light (as in the late 2nd Century New Testament apology 1John,...'God is light, and in Him is no darkness.' ). Divided Light multiplies and divides from the One Lever upon which duality effects its simulation of motion. "all matter is frozen or slowed down light" David Bohm "For the rest of my life I want to reflect on what light is". Albert Einstein Matter is not made of matter. Hans-Peter Dürr 'All matter is just a mass of light.' Sri Aurobindo "Light is not waves which travel at 186,000 miles per second, which science says it is, nor does light travel at all." Walter Russell "When stillness is ultimate, the light penetrates." Manjushri Bodhisattva "Some say if an object were ever to reach the speed of light its mass would become infinite. However, to move an infinite mass would take an infinite amount of energy–more energy than there is in the entire universe. Thus, it is argued that no mass can ever attain the speed of light." Peter Russell
  12. The universe becoming conscious of itself,...LOL,...a universal ego,...like Sentient Beings who believe "i think, therefore I Am." A significant falsity in today's world is this paradigm of "i think,"....and its notions of Personal Truths and Me Stories built upon patriarchal constructs such as the delusion of individual consciousness. Nevertheless, sentience makes a quite compelling argument for itself among Sentient Beings. "How many of us truly want wisdom? We want many things, but who really wants wisdom? Gabrielle Roth. “Truth lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.” Goethe In the 80's I shown dozens of people how to not only pick up a better signal, but how to receive Other Stations,...and called it Fractal Riding. The seemingly infinite number of "stations" are all within the One Space-Time of this Dream. And keep in mind,...the Whole of Conscious Awareness is beyond Space-Time,....just as authentic Wholeness is beyond the sum of opposites. You may be wondering What the F*** is this guy talking about. Place yourself in ease in front of a mirror, and keep looking,...eyes to eyes,...quieting your thinking,...relaxing and softening your gaze,...letting go of mental inertia and being liberated from beliefs,....one begins to enter Full Spectrum sight,...an auric view,...don't freak-out as your face appears to distorts or change,...a beard may appear or gender switched,...allow,...just observe,...don't let thoughts interpret what you're seeing,...like people having an epiphany and then mentally declare that was God. Often, several faces appear quickly, as if one is "turning stations" too fast. When comfortable, focus attention on one station, that is, just one different face. As that attention is gained, the peripheral vision can see that not only your face is different, but that you're dressed different, and the background, like peering through a window of time. This is Fractal Riding. Just as one changes the frequencies on a radio tuner to hear a different "station," fractal riding reveals a multitude of other waveforms,...slices within space-time. "Relativity says that the future and past have equal validity. All events are frozen in this giant block (Space-Time). We just happen to perceive one end of the block as the past, and the other end as the future, and that we are moving in a certain direction. But that's just a function of our perception, and doesn't reflect any physical reality." Ted Chiang Fractal Riding reveals that all phenomenon can be viewed within the body of an individual radio receiver. There is no past nor future,...all is occurring simultaneously,...for ultimately, there is no time. The radio does not really exist. But then, that's another discussion. "The idea that the future is no different than the past doesn't sit well with a lot of people, because we like to think of the future as being indetermenate, open-ended, and not fixed the way the past is. But physics suggests that the future is just as fixed as the past." Ted Chiang Fractal Riding is a term I use for focusing on a Still Point, that is, the Zero, or harmonic interchange within waveforms. Often, when sharing this observable phenomenon in the 80's, I show a scene in the 1959 Disney Classic 'Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land' (on VHS), where a pentagam is zoomed into to reveal another and another pentagram. Fractal Riding is the moving into a Still Point, or Zero, through physical, albeit fuller spectrum sight, to reveal a multitude of other waveforms (or slices of Space-Time), just as if one changed the frequency on a radio tuner to here a different "station". We are not Beings of Consciousness, we are Beings with different levels of Conscious Awareness. On a one to one basis, or looking in a mirror, observing other "stations", literally, dimensions within our own perceived dimension, takes just a few minutes. Sometimes I'd begin by having the person relax and direct their attention on a point about 4 metres into a clear sky and view the prana globules dancing before them, or sometimes I'd have them focus on the edge of an evergreen, observing both the fuscia aura and prana that feeds it. Next, in a fairly lit place, preferably with my back to a solid off-white surface, I have the person, who is comfortably sitting about 4 metres away, focus softly, almost like a squint, on the crown of my head, until they see the first levels of my physical atmosphere, or aura. Usually, a person first witnesses a whitish fog, but as the eyes soften, this clears, and prismatic colours can be seen. Next, I have them lower their eyes to my face, preferably a point between my eyes. Within seconds, they begin to observe my facial feature distort and become other faces, ie., perhaps where there was no beard, now there is a beard, but even more, that is, they are no longer looking at the same physical person. Often, several faces appear quickly, which is simply that they are "turning stations" too fast. The idea is to focus attention on one station, that is, just one different face. As that attention is gained, their peripheral vision can see that not only my face is different, but that I'm dressed different, and the background, like peering through a window of time, fitting the period they are witnessing. This practice seemed like an interesting gateway to unfeigned surrender, which initiates the release of natural tryptamines. Most Sentient Beings are so base-energy focused,...not realizing that there are 7 orgasmic chakras,...most of which make a Root Chakra ejaculation seem like drizzle from swamp water. "Because yin and yang are not complete within us as individuals, we pair up to integrate them, and bring new life. Although most people spend their entire lives following this biological impulse, it is only a tiny portion of our beings as well." Lao-tzu
  13. Max Planck once said, “Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.” The paradigms of science are attached to empirical evidence,...which René Descartes was on the threshold of debunking when he said, “All that I have tried to understand to the present time has been affected by my senses; now I know these senses are deceivers, and it is prudent to be distrustful after one has been deceived once.” To observe a thing solely by way of the senses is to perceive an object-ive, crystallized, segregated reality that undermines all solutions. This is why physicists have yet to define light. Their ability to know has been impaired through belief systems, such as the concept of empirical knowledge. Empiricism is derived from an ego-governed intellect, which filters observation and impedes direct experience. Experience born of belief, can only be experienced through the condition that belief. Yet science is motivated to believe what they do through empirical data. "It is impossible for the senses to penetrate any EFFECT to ascertain its CAUSE for the cause of illusion is not within effect. For this reason the entire mass of so-called empirical knowledge which science has gained by reasoning through the senses is invalid." Walter Russell "The senses do not grasp reality in any way" HAUMEA writes "Until you experience the state, it means little." A Sentient Being cannot grasp reality in any way. The 6 senses can ONLY perceive the PAST. No one can see, taste, touch, smell, hear, or think in the Present. There is no Present in Time. When you arrive at the Fulcrum or Tao, which is Undivided Light, in the East called the Clear Light of Vajra,...similar to having arrived at the so-called Speed of Light,...all energy, mass, time ceases. The Dream is a projection of the One Lever, and is not, as Ego wants, part of the Absolute. When the Dream ceases its motion, the One Lever also ceases. However,...only Spiritual Beings (a Conscious Awareness accessible to all) can realized that. "Relative and absolute, These the two truths are declared to be. The absolute is not within the reach of intellect, For the intellect is grounded in the relative." -Shantideva The "relative" is a perception of the senses. "As man unfolds from sensed man to spiritual man he gradually becomes aware of the two-way motion of all effect" - Walter Russell.
  14. Those questions are rabbit holes Felix,...no one will ever understand Who or What they are until they realize WHEN THEY ARE. And that points to an Absolute Truth. For another point of view that can be helpful in your discernment... 'Gnothi Seauton', as inscribed over the portico of the Temple at Delphi, means Gnow Thyself, not Know Thyself. In other words, those who say they know, most likely do not Gnow. know\no, v. knew, known, know-ing, knows; OE gecnawan, be able to; akin to L. gnovi. 1. to perceive directly through the senses; comprehend through the intellect (the 6th sense); psyche. 2. to have fixed in the intellect or memory, something as true. 3. to be acquainted with or have a practical understanding of, as through sensory experience; know how to cook. 4. to comprehend noologically; through thought/intellect. "The senses do not grasp reality in any way" Socrates "The senses do not know, but man believes that his senses do know--and in that belief lies man's confusion" - Walter Russell "99% of what you feel is actually based on what you're thinking" - Adyashanti gnow\no, v. gnew, gnown, gnow-ing, gnows; from Gk gnosis, understanding through Heart-Mind. 1. to understand directly through metasensory awareness (beyond the 6 senses); comprehend through the heart of essence or thymos. 2. to experience, without media-tion, something as true. 3. to be acquainted with or have gnostic understanding of, as through metasensory experience; to gnow love. 4. to comprehend ontosophically; through prajna/gnosis. At some point about two thousand years ago, humanity devolved from Thymos thinkers to Psyche thinkers. In ancient cultures (Egyptian, Mayan, Naga, etc.) the Heart center (thymus) was cherished, and the brain discarded. In today's culture the opposite is dominant,...and the thymus gland begins to atrophy right after birth. In ancient Greece it was written that some had a thymus gland as large as a grapefruit,...today, it's mostly the size of a shriveled up pea. Go Figure! There are Two Hearts. The heart that gets heavy with pain is the heart pump,...which has many oxytocin receptors that stimulate pain or joy from chemical releases originating in the brain. The Heart Center, one's Heart chakra, is associated with the thymus gland (not the heart pump). The Heart Center, the Higher Heart, has been called the Higher Mind or Heart Mind; however, for most in our current culture of Mental Inertia, the butterfly shaped thymus has atrophied, as I mentioned, to the size of a pea. Here's a visual to ponder,....identify the two secondary chakras located near the shoulder blades, and imagine a pair of wings extending from the thymus (your Heart Center) through those shoulder blade chakras. We have the potential to unfurl astral wings from the Anahata Chakra, just as the ancients valued glyphs of a heart shape with wings,...wings like Isis, and her Sky Dancing Mother. This may sound silly,...but will help you integrate with the Feminine of Duality,...which is not a gender of Form, but the Wave of a Particle.
  15. Yes,...recently downloaded the book,...and reviewed much of it,...as some were bringing it up in dialogue, and wanted to see if it had any relevance for Conscious Awareness,...concluding that it doesn't. Agree,... many love this neo-advaita stuff,...very Wow! stuff for those transitioning away from Western Absolutist beliefs,...and yet, neo-advaita is itself Absolutist. As for myself, my background in books was in Mahamudra,...which did not contradict my own experiences,...that both duality and Oneness are illusory. Thus it could be said that I'm non-dual and non-One. “He who thinks of mind in terms of One or Many casts away the light and enters delusion” - Saraha Oneness is as an old Aristotelian construct,...and along with the meme of monotheism was for centuries imprinted upon the Collective. Look what they did to Hippasus for his blasphemy of the Greeks universal view by suggesting irrationals,...they killed him. Pythagoreans killed anyone who discussed any numbers other than rational numbers, for their universe was governed by ratios that arise from One. An absolute truth is,...if duality ceases its motion, the One Lever upon which it effects its motion also ceases. This is why Lao-tzu and Buddha considered Advaita concepts as useless. "The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to yin and yang. Yin and yang give birth to all things....The Tao gives rise to all form, yet it has no form of its own." Lao-tzu Oneness is akin to being stuck in a paradigm,...an energy Loop,...with the loss of individual Conscious Awareness after death. This is why Naropa taught that "By learning to recognize Clear Light during one's lifetime, an adept may return to it without difficulty when the shock of death threatens to disorient them.” - Naropa. To retain one's Conscious Awareness after death. The Advaitist cannot realize that,...because of their belief in Oneness. The Great Juncture is uncover the Fulcrum, upon which the One Lever and Duality moves,...I call it Undivided Light. Imagine joining me for a trip in an amazing LightCraft, a vehicle that can reach the speed of light. We are about to accelerate to so called light speed, that is 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 mps). If you are unfamiliar with Einstein’s theory of relativity, as we approach 299,792 kps, time slows to zero, space no longer exists, and mass cancels itself out. You do not enter a new dimension, but a dimensionlessness within the Still Bliss of undivided light. For those who have already ventured there, an immediate inner inquiry comes to our attention if we allow it: "How did we reach a velocity of 299,792 kilometers per second and arrive at stillness?" You just stepped into light’s shoes, connecting with light’s own point of view, a view, to paraphrase Peter Russell, that light travels no distance in no time, and thus it has no need for speed. In fact, undivided, clear light has not traveled a meter in all eternity. Don’t worry if you don’t grasp this yet; it took Tilopa nearly three years to grasp the dakini secrets through grinding sesame seeds. Our duality reality of divided, projected, simulated light is 299,792 kilometers per second slower than the Stillness of what Mahamudra calls the Clear Light of Vajra (and Gabrielle Roth pointed to through the Silver Desert). When you realize that, you begin to gnow Who you are because you directly understand When you are. In duality, everything is in the past. All divided light, the whole electromagnetic field is in the past. It makes no difference how fast energy equal mass square divided light (E=mc²) is moving, for even at 299,791 kilometers per second, undivided light is perceived as moving 299,792 kilometers per second faster. That’s why Einstein called it relativity,...not Absolute. Energy–mass is relative, conditional, and in the past (mc² < c). Buddhism has stories of this,...for example,...Shakyamuni Buddha and Angulimala, the wearer of a garland of fingers. Angulimala was a notorious bandit who cut off a finger from each of his victims and wore them all around his neck. Although there are several variations of the story, the punch line is nearly the same. One day, Buddha, the light of Asia, was walking calmly along a road in the Kingdom of Kosala, where Angulimala was seeking his next victim. Seeing Buddha, Angulimala ran up to bash him from behind, yet he could not get close enough, and the faster he went, the Awakened One seemed to go that much faster. Infuriated and bewildered at not being able to catch him, Angulimala shouted for Buddha to stop. The light of Asia replied, “But I’m standing still. If you desire to catch me, you too must be still.” This is where oral traditions, especially Theravada ones, go off into different invented morals. The true pearl in the tale is that no matter how fast you move to catch light, light will always be 299,792 kilometers per second faster. Undivided light can only be caught through stillness,...it cannot be realized through non-duality. And what does Oneness look like? There’s a story in the Kevatta Sutta of a talented monk who wanted to find out the answer to the question, “Where do the four elements cease without remainder?” Through meditation he reached the Heaven of the Four Great Kings, who did not know the answer. Next he went to the thirty three gods in a higher Desire Realm heaven, but none of these rulers knew either. He then asked King Sakka (Indra), the king of these gods, but Sakka did not know the answer. Up and up he went asking all sorts of gods at each and every higher level. Finally he came to Great Brahma, the Creator, the One Uncreated, Knower of All. When the monk finally achieved an audience with Great Brahma, Brahma appeared in all his majesty and glory announcing, "I am Great Brahma, the Conqueror, the Unconquered, the All-Seeing, All-Powerful, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Ruler, Appointer and Orderer, Father of All That Have Been and Shall Be." The monk then humbly and respectfully asked his question, but all Great Brahma did was repeat, "I am Great Brahma, the Conqueror, the Unconquered, the All-Seeing, All-Powerful, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Ruler, Appointer and Orderer, Father of All That Have Been and Shall Be. The monk eventually got frustrated and said, “I know you are "Great Brahma, the Conqueror, the Unconquered, the All-Seeing, All-Powerful, the Lord, the Maker and Creator, the Ruler, Appointer and Orderer, Father of All That Have Been and Shall Be," but I asked you a question about where the four elements cease without remainder. The Great Brahma replied, “Listen little monk, don’t embarrass me. All these other gods are listening and think I know everything. If you want to know the answer to a question like that, don’t ask me. I don’t know the answer. For a question like that, you have to go ask the Buddha. Buddhists have a saying,..."Contradictions in perspective among those Seeing the profound do not occur" – Taranatha. The differences between Prajnaparamita and neo-Advaita are irreconcilable. Even Ramaji's kinesiological divination cannot bring them into harmony.
