Somthing you need to know about Trees

 

Initiation in Soverign Solar Order of Chichen Itza

In Defense of India's Ancient Culture

 

Soul awareness

 Can you remember when you were young?  Anything from 2 - 6 yrs old, what you then perceived out of your eyes.  If you gave that some serious thought, as I feel I have, it is the same as when I look out of my eyes now, it’s the same me.

So who is that? What is that? And how is that? 

When I look out of my eyes at 4 yrs old, it is the same me as now.

 

Even though my body has aged, the perception of mine that I grasped at 4 yrs old is the same as now.  It’s just now I understand it more. 

My soul awakens throughout my earth years, if I practice meditation and devote my time to spiritual practices then I awaken my soul, I remember.  If I don’t then my perception stays like I was at 4 yrs old, just glimpses of something but glimpses of what?

Past lives maybe? 

 

You could call it my lens of perception. 

Our lives go on, you grow older, go through puberty, meet a girl, get married have children, all this goes on but my perception is the same.

It’s like you connect to your higher self, but only in brief moments, but enough to get you to have a feeling for it. 

The something…. 

The search for that something is quite a journey, an inner journey.  What happens to the inner you isn’t always reflected in the outer you.  But as the picture becomes clear, you find your path is a lonely path, even if you’ve got a partner, they can’t experience what your seeing or feeling.  So it’s a path you walk alone and it has to be that way. 

For your journey is for the self to connect to your higher self.

 

To understand what I mean by higher self, you have to seek out this knowledge with keenness and trust.  What religions don’t teach is what you have to find.  If it’s too much in this life, maybe wait for another life, but always be aware of the cycles of time. 

The planetary constellations, they are there to teach us and guide us if we’re willing to have faith and trust.

Rules for being Human

Rules for being Human

When you were born you didn’t come with an owners manual,

You had to learn the rules the hard way.

These rules are intended to make your life easier

 

You will receive a body

You may like or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period

This time around.  It is the only thing you really own or

Are guaranteed to keep for your whole life

 

You will Learn Lessons

You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life on planet Earth.

Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons.

You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant or stupid.

 

There are No mistakes, only lessons

Growth is a process of trial, error and experimentation.

The so called “failed experiments” are as much a part of the process

As the experiment that actually “works”.

 

A Lesson is repeated until learned

A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.

If you do not learn easy lessons they become harder.

When you have learned it, you can then go on to the Next lesson.

You will know when you have learned a lesson,

When your actions change.

 

Learning Lessons Does Not End

There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons.

If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

Every person, every incident is the Universal Teacher.

 

‘Here’ is no better than ‘There

When your “there” has become a “here” you will simply obtain another “there”,

That will again look better than “here”.

Nothing leads to happiness.

 

Others are merely Mirrors of You

You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you

Something you love or hate about yourself.

 

What you Make of Your Life is up to You

You have all the tools and resources you need.  What you do with them is up to you

The choice is yours.  There are three kinds of people; 

Those who make things happen,

Those who watch what happens and those who wonder what happened.

The choice is yours.

Take charge of your life or someone else will.

 

Your answers lie inside You

Your answers to life’s questions lie inside you. 

All you need to so is look, listen and trust.

 

You will probably tend to forget all this.

Imagination of ourselves

 

We are children of the stars, we are children of Gods, but the Gods are ourselves.

We are the sons of Gods, we (the physical) are an imagination of ourselves.

 

When we die we will be shown what could’ve been,

if we had chosen with the heart and not with the head.

We will be judged by ourselves and only when we ourselves have passed the test,

can we evolve to another level.

 

By balancing our karma, living our truth, wiping away judgment, jealously, anger, hatred, prejudiced, smugness, pride of ones family,

out of our lives we can begin to live the truth.

 

But, you have to do Ceremony, it has to be part of your life.  

You have to understand nature, feel the rains, feel the snow, love the mist and fog,

bathe in the sunshine .

 

When we can stand on our own two feet and be counted,

it is the beginning of returning to the source.

A thank you to the four directions, to the four winds, a remembrance of faith, of love,

of that what we once were.

 

The understanding of magnetism.  We use the physical body as a robe or vehicle on this plain of understanding,

but the ignorance of the many is frightening.

The magnetics runs through our body in blood and we use this to explore feelings.

We feel anger, jealousy, fear, love, without even touching. 

 

The magnetism that surrounds us picks up other peoples feelings.

Unless we are so out of tune that we can’t even feel our own magnetism or feel the love of our Sun, the Moon or our mother, the Earth.

On the Ego

 

Our ego is self empowering. You have many facets of yourself. These parts of yourself are controlled by your ego. Your soul sits and waits patiently for your self realisation.

 

The inner child that we protect waits. We put on many inner masks to protect the inner child. The many parts of us need to be pulled and controlled by our soul.

The ego, at all times waits and fools us into believing the soul is controlling, but it is rarely the case.

Your religious choices can be ruled by the ego. You can be thinking, "this is the one and only path" but your soul knows better.

How do we escape the hold our ego has on us? It is not easy.

We have to listen to the information, move the information from our head to our heart. We then feel with our heart and move the information back to the head, where the decision will be made.

When the information is in our heart we have to calm our selves and take our time, there is no rush.........

Why make a decision that you will regret later.

I know it’s easier said than done, but practice. This practice is in a form of feeling. 

When the information is in the heart we can determine whether it is a truth.

Attachment

 

How easy is it to become attached to something or someone?

 

Nothing is forever.

 

So why do we attach our selves to:

 

·         Homes

·         Wife’s

·         Children

·         Cars

·         Bikes

·         Jobs

·         Food

·         Sport

·         Etc…

 

How easy is it to become attached? I suppose nothing is easier. Do we really know the people we live with, their inner thoughts, their inner fears, and their faith.

How does one stop these attachments? If you didn’t know better you would swear attachments are our lives.

 

That could be true!!!

 

So how do we escape the clutches of attachment?

Effort!

Firstly, you need to Want to.

 

Secondly, cleanse yourself of want for wants sake. It’s easier to do without the necessary things of life than the unnecessary. SHOULD’NT THAT CONCERN US!!

 

What do we really need to live a good life? Certainly none of todays attachments.

Room full of clutter,

Rooms full of nonsense,

Sounds like our heads.

 

YOU HAVE TO WANT TOO!!

Frequencies of the brain
 
Once you understand the relationship between the resonances and interacting of thought, sound and light waves, you realise how easy it could become for someone or something to use these frequencies to control and manipulate you.
What if someone were to influence the sound of light waves to deliberately alter them to get a required reaction from you?
To alter the mental or emotions state of your being.
 
To give an example, when you are watching a movie or T.V programme, music is used to alter your perception of events for you to then respond to the music in love, anger or any other feeling that resonates with the music being played.
You know this from first hand experience.
So by going to the movie theatre or watching T.V you are allowing yourself to be used and controlled by others for what ever purpose they deem.
 
ARE WE ALL HAPPY WITH THAT THEN!!!
 
Letting someone else you don’t know control your thoughts and actions?
 
EVERYONE HAPPY WITH THAT!!!

 Beta waves  13-35 pulses per second  

 Mental activity is conscious, active and alert. Anxiety and agitation exists at the high end of the range.

 Alpha waves   8-12 pulses per second   When in alpha your receptive mind is open, a calm and relaxed mood is present.
 Theta waves   4-7 pulses per second 
 Theta is when you still your mind even further. Its were your past live memory, physic vision, dreams and astral vision are experienced.
 Delta waves   3-5 pulses per second 
 The long slow delta waves recorded are supposedly when you are in a deep sleep.

Symbolism

Symbolically speaking, see how this story grabs you.

 

In 1952 on the isolated island of koshima which is just off the east coast of Kyushu, man was studying the behaviour of the Japanese monkey (macaca fuscata). Provision stations were established and selected sites were chosen.

 

It’s normal for young monkeys to learn feeding habits from their mothers. With the establishment of the provision stations, (Artificial food supplies) the formidable behavioral predisposition’s of the monkeys were monitored, but even with the established repertoire of the monkeys, nothing enabled them to deal with raw sweet potato with sand and grit all over them.

Then, what they called a monkey genius called ‘Imo’ an 18 month old female, solved the problem by carrying the potatoes down to a stream and washing them before feeding.

 

Imo taught the trick to her mother and her playmates who then taught their mothers. Slowly it spread thought the colony until all the juveniles were washing dirty food. Adults over 5 yrs old learnt to wash the food by imitating their children.

Then, something happened that takes this story to another level of understanding.  When an unspecified number of monkeys were washing the potatoes, for instance say 99 monkeys, and when the hundredth monkey started to wash the potatoes, you could say the critical mass was reached and by that same evening all the monkeys in the colony were washing the potatoes.

With the critical mass being reached the knowledge seemed to spread to other island and into the mainland.

 

To be clear about this, the monkeys on koshima had no physical communication with monkey on other islands.

It was as if once a certain number had been reached the knowledge had been fed into what we could say is the “monkey consciousness” and all could do it.

If we think about what had been involved here we have got an abstraction, identification of concept and deliberate manipulation of several parameters in the environment.

 

Symbolically speaking, and as nature is our teacher, what is this story telling us?

 

Could it be telling us the obvious?

 

If you strive to understand symbolism then this story will fill your soul full of joy with what is to come…….

Why the Rattlesnake in Mayan Civilisation

 

Alla Jose Diaz-bolio

 

Symbolism to the ancients was their way of communication.  Everything was symbolic, everyone rock, stone, branch, stream, cloud, animal and insect was holy and sacred.

Every expression had its metaphor around and above them and in the stars.

The alignment of the stars, the nodes of the moon all foretold something.  Man was at peace with nature and himself, man was telepathic.  To explain something he would give you a symbol, this you felt in your soul and then grasped the understanding. 

 

If we study all the great cultures of the past, the ancient civilizations, we find the above correct.  The Egyptian used animals and symbolic meanings to teach, for instance, to represent pregnancy they would show a pregnant hippopotamus, what could be more pregnant than that?  We had to also understand the full meaning of pregnancy, the baboon represents contemplation, look at a baboon at the way it sits and seems to concentrate for hours.

Curiosity was represented by the cat, what could be more curious than the cat?

The Maya used the Jaguar to represent knowledge “Hidden Knowledge”.  The Lakota used the wolf as a symbol representing teaching, the Eagle as spirit.  The Vedic used the serpent, the cow, the elephant etc.

 

Humanity in the past, used symbols of nature as teaching.  It was in this total understanding of say the wolf for instance, the way the wolf takes a mate and keeps the same mate for life.  How the wolf communicates through the howling.  How the wolf looks after its young.

Everything the wolf represents would be symbolic. 

 

So if you look with open eyes at the past civilisations you will feel this understanding.  In the Mayan civilization, which is undoubtedly the oldest, the rattlesnake was the symbol used by the Maya to represent their civilisation.

 

It fits perfectly with the Tzolkin, the Mayan calendar.  The greatest calendar man has made.

Understanding the rattlesnake totally, will fill your soul full of Love, Compassion and Wisdom for the great Mayan civilisation of the past.

The work of Jose Diaz-Bolio is a must for understanding this treasure of knowledge.

Mayan Calendar End Date.....What's that all about?

 

Mayan calendar end date, What's that all about?  At the end of 2012 the Maya left us knowledge encode in stone in Copan, Tikal, Palenque with all the other beautiful sacred centres with emphasis on Chichen Itza.  To understand the way the ancients communicated you have to understand symbolism.

 

Symbolism to the ancients was their way of communication, everything was symbolic, every rock, stone, branch, stream, cloud, animal, insect was holy and sacred.  Every expression had its metaphor around them, above them and in the stars; as above so below. The alignment of the stars the nodes of the moon all foretold something.

In the distance past man was at peace with himself and one with nature, man was telepathic. To explain something he would show you a symbol, this you felt in your soul and you then grasped the understanding.  If we study the great cultures of the past, the ancient civilizations we find this to be true. The Egyptians used animals as a symbolic meaning to teach. For pregnancy they would show a pregnant hippopotamus, what could be more pregnant than that? But you had to also understand the full meaning of pregnancy, the gestation, the birth etc.  The baboon represents contemplation; look at a baboon the way appears to contemplate for hours. Curiosity was represented by the cat, what could be more curious than a cat? Could the cat also mean the one who sees the light? If we study the vision of a cat we find that it can see just as well in the night as it can in the day.

The Maya used the jaguar to represent knowledge, hidden knowledge.  The jaguar also represented the night’s sky as the truth of what we see is hidden.  If we move on to the Native American Indians we find the Lakota have also used symbols of animals.  In our ancient past, even up to the last several hundred years, we find humanity using symbols of nature as teachings. The Lakota used the wolf as symbol representing teaching, the eagle as spirit. The Vedic used the serpent, the cow etc. It was in the total understanding of the particular animal, plant, tree, etc that the understanding came. If we look at the wolf for instance, the way a wolf takes a mate and keeps that mate for life, how the wolf looks after it’s pack, how the wolf communicates though howling.  Everything the wolf represents is symbolic.

 

Now, if you look with open eyes at the past civilization you will feel this understanding.  In the Mayan civilization, which I feel is undoubtedly the oldest, the rattlesnake was the symbol used to represent their civilization.  It fits perfectly with the T’zolkin, the Mayan calendar, the greatest calendar mankind has ever made.   Understanding the rattlesnake totally will fill your soul full of understanding, love, compassion, and wisdom for the great Mayan civilization of the past.  The work of Jose, Diaz-Bolio is a must in understanding this treasure of knowledge.

 

As we continue to explore symbolism we find everything is symbolic to us. 

You could say every ailment or disease that comes through man is symbolic of a spiritual truth, which we seem to have forgotten.

 

Symbolically speaking, how does this story grab you?

In 1952 on the isolated island of koshima, which is just off the coast of Kyushu man was studying the behaviour of the Japanese monkey (macaca fuscata). Provision stations were established and selected sites were chosen. It’s normal for monkeys to learn their feeding habits off their mothers so with the establishment of the provision stations, (artificial food supplies) the formidable behavioural predispositions of the monkey were monitored.  However, even with the established repertoire of the monkeys, nothing enabled them to deal with the raw sweet potatoes with sand and grit all over them.

Then, what they called a monkey genius called Imo, an 18 month old female solved the problem by carrying the potatoes down to a nearby stream and washed them before feeding.  Imo taught the trick to her mother, she also taught it to her playmates, who then taught their mothers.

Slowly but surely it spread through the colony until all the juveniles were washing dirty food.  The only adults over five years old learnt to wash their food by imitating their children.

Then, something happened that takes this story to another level of understanding. An unspecified number of monkeys were washing the potatoes, say 99 for instance, when the 100th monkey started washing the potatoes something seemed to happen.  That evening all the monkeys on the colony were now washing the potatoes, now what you could call the ‘critical mass’ had been reached, the knowledge seemed to spread beyond physical communication. Monkeys on totally different islands and even on the main land were washing their food.  It was as if once a certain number could do it, It was transferred into the “monkey consciousness” and all the monkeys could do it.

 

If you think of what this story involves, you had Abstraction, Identification of concept, and deliberate manipulation of several parameters in the environment. So symbolically speaking as nature is our teacher what is this story telling us? Could it be the obvious? Understanding symbolism and this story will fill your soul full of joy.

 

So what do you make of the above? It’s pretty obvious how stupid we have become in terms of this ancient sacred knowledge.  Let’s not fool ourselves; we have become ignorant of the natural laws of the universe.  We have forgotten how to love it as simple as that! 

 

It all starts in our schools where we had to put many masks on our hearts to protect the love we all have burning inside.  As we go through puberty, as teenagers, we feel the burning in our root chakra.  This burning is the kundalini trapped in the base chakra, our ignorance is complete, and we are now trapped in the dense third dimension, ignorant of the laws of the dimensions.

 

If we look at the lower dimensions 1st, 2nd and 3rd, we find different levels of consciousness. For instance, looking at a one-dimensional being, the snail for example, how would its perception be? I’m hot? I’m cold? I’m hungry? I’m full? Does the snail perceive the leaf coming towards him or does the snail realize he is moving towards the leaf.  It instinctively avoids the dead leaf but feels the fresh leaf. Its entire world could well be the single line in moves on.

 

If we move to a two dimensional being all animals for instance, they have a higher consciousness than one dimensional beings. Take a cat for instance, we find if we observe it we see that they are limited to a two dimensional reality.

It is quite possible that animals can perceive three dimensions. If I hold a cube up to a cat and if a cat could answer me and I asked the cat what is it?  The cat would perceive it as a flat object in space.  If I were to put my finger behind the cube moving it quickly from left to right the cat would curiously watch the finger unaware that it is my finger.  In fact, it may well attack the finger because of its movement. It’s consciousness would not comprehend the truth.

 

If we move to the third dimension and I hold a cube up to you and asked you ‘what is it?’ You would reply a cube.  I would then ask you, ‘how do you know that?’ Because you can only perceive three dimensions, you can not see it as a cube, so as you look upon the cube your eyes can only perceive three dimensions of the cube. You can not see the back or bottom of the cube. 

At this point your brain kicks in and tells you it’s a cube. So we are three dimensional beings who can perceive four dimensions.

I know this is not a full explanation but I feel you will grasp the full understanding simply by following this thought.

 

Now if you observe animals, insects etc and understand what I have explained, especially by observing. you will then get a feeling for what is going on.

We have to realize that we are magnetic beings. Like attracts like. We are pulled together by the lessons we are learning. In a sense it is easier if two work at it than one, but what inevitably happens is we pull each other down.

Looking at mother earth, father sun, the planets, the stars, take that thought to a fourth dimensional understanding and you will begin to understand the purpose of humanity.  A school of love maybe? That would be a bit too simple I suppose.

 

So going back to the Mayan calendar end date what does it mean?

It was a date the Mayan civilization left us to inform us of the end of a great cycle.

If you study the Mayan civilization you will find they were masters of time, they understood fully the movement of the heavens and the purpose that they foretold, the nodes of the moon were also important in their wisdom.  Day and night is a cycle, the 13 moons in a year is a cycle, the seasons have a cycle, the years have a cycle, our sun has a cycle, the planets have a cycle, the universe has a cycle.  In all of this movement the Maya plotted the evolution of man, the falls in consciousness, they say 2012 will be a raising of consciousness for those who are ready, for those who have done work on the inner self. So in 2012 they say it is the great cycle that will close, the zodiacal precisional cycle will be coming to a close but an even grander cycle will come to a close.

 

Everything in nature is a clue to the enigmas of life and the universe. You have to understand their meanings. Symbolism is the key. How does good healthy water flow? How does our earth and the planets move following our sun?

It’s all the same, everything in nature explains our purpose and we just have to open our eyes and our heart to understand.

 

There is the mysterious centre that keeps all the stars in orbit around itself.

This centre, that science knows so little of as yet, is located with respect to our sun and planets in the direction of the constellation Hercules (zodiacal sign Capricorn).  Slowly, at the rate of 12 miles per second our sun orbits around and moves closer to this ‘Solar Apex’, as it is called.

That is, at the end of December, each year, the earth is directly behind the sun with respect to this great void, our solar system with our planet is being drawn closer to this colossal magnet.  Therefore, the end date has a colossal meaning for humanity.

 

Going back to the dimensions and the different levels of consciousness we can observe, we know we can perceive the fourth dimension, but we can not see it using our eyes. We have to use our minds eye. 

At this time, we are given the means whereby we can know the so-called esoteric truth of our system and its evolution, and the part the earth plays therein, as well as each of its inhabitants. We can go so far as to know that there is a great centre to which we in our system are related and which determines our course, because it is this centre, that finally holds the key to the precession of the equinoxes.  It is this centre that makes the axis Capricorn and Cancer the evolutionary axis of our planet and through our study we can know that in ourselves, in our very bodies, we can find the exact reproduction of this galaxy, which then gives us the revelation of the supreme herself.

 

If we go back in time before kali-yuga (kali-yuga is when the sun is farthest from the galactical centre.  Then what the Vedic call dharma…the mental virtue comes to such a reduced state that mankind cannot grasp anything beyond the gross material creation. The grand centre is called Brahma) we find the Greeks still held the ancient sacred knowledge expressed symbolically. 

Hence we could say the truth was lost to mankind in the age of kali-yuga. The truth in a sense had to go underground, now we are rising out of kali-yuga and the truth of our past is being revealed to us. 

What are you personally going to do with this knowledge? 

You should begin to bring ceremony into your lives, learn the colours of the four directions, pray to our ancestors for guidance.  Learn the meanings of colours, feel the rhythm of mantras and chanting, feel the heartbeat of the drum, let the flute carry you into remembrance.

 

Crazy Horse (1842 – 1877) said these words as he sat smoking the peace pipe for the last time, 4 days before he was to be assassinated with sitting bull.

 

They shall return my friend. They will return again all over the earth. They are returning again. Ancient beings of the earth, ancient songs of the earth. I give them to you and through them you will understand, you will see. They are returning again, upon the earth.

Upon suffering beyond suffering, the red nation shall rise again. It will be a blessing

 for a sick world, a world longing for the light again. I see a time, long after the sky’s have grown dark and dirty and the water has become bad spelling. I see a time of seven generations when all the colours of mankind will gather under the sacred tree of life and one whole earth will become one circle again. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that centre within you and I within mine, we shall be as one.

Everything is Maya...Maya is an illusion

 

What could that statement actually mean?  Everything is Maya, Maya is an illusion.  So the ancients are telling us everything is an illusion.  What?  All my life is an illusion, is it not?  They also inform us that if we don’t understand Maya then we are trapped in ignorance, Avidya that’s what the spiritual masters of the east call ignorance, they say that in the dark state of the heart man harbors misconceptions (about everything) this state is a result of Avidya and produces a man of the lowest cast or sudra.  He can grasp only ideas of the physical world; this state of mind is prevalent in Kali Yuga, the dark age of the cycle. 

 

What is Kali Yuga? 

Our earth revolves around our sun in an elliptical fashion, closest at the equinox, furthest at the solstice.  Spring 21 March, Autumn 23 Sept being the equinox.  Summer solstice 21 June and Winter solstice 22 December.

Our universe does exactly the same moving closer and further away to the central sun.  The furthest point away being Kali Yuga.

Kali Yuga began in 3102bc so the masters of the east inform us. The South American Maya say 3113bc is called the birth of Venus, Venus represents love.

Maybe we could grasp an understanding in there somewhere. 

 

The first thing we need to do to grasp anything is calm down.  Calm yourself of all the outside chatter, all the distractions.

We fill our life full of chatter, television, radio, theater, sport, work etc.  None of this helps us achieve calmness, so we stay in Avidya.

We fill our children full of fast food that makes them ‘fast’.  Do you have any idea what soft drinks do to our young kids?  It is speeding them up.  The last thing a young child needs is speeding up. Can you imagine a poor soul trying to listen in a classroom while he is full of soft drinks, which are full of sugar?  Surely, it will eventually drive him crazy.

 

Looking at children today, who can say that that is not the case? 

The parents have untold pressures from these children, hypnotized by the television adverts, forcing them to believe the nonsense on offer.  How as parents can we ever calm ourselves in these situations to control our sped up children.

This does not make any sense to me.  How can we ever grasp the truth when we are firmly lost in Avidya?  How do we begin to quiet the chatter in our lives and in our children’s lives?  Leaving the children in front of television is the worst possible thing we can do to them.  It destroys their creative visualization and fills their head full of bad thoughts.  How can you visualize anything when the drone of chatter is full blast in our houses, shopping malls, stadiums and work place? 

 

You have to do it yourself; you have to summon the courage yourself. 

When you calm yourself eventually you might just begin to understand the ancient teachings.  Kali Yuga will not only make sense, but a deeper understanding will lead you to Maya, an illusion.

Here’s an interesting Hindu story to explain Maya:

 

In a holy time long ago before our age there lived a man whose name was Narada, surrendering to immortal longings that awakened in him he retired to a hermitage so altruistically serious was he in his quest. 

So beyond all bounds were his patience and humility that one day Vishnu, the great god was moved to come down from his heaven and stand in the doorway.  “So great and continuing is my admiration for you”, the god said “that it will please me to grant you any boon you might desire.” 

“The boon I would most graciously ask of you”, Narada answered “is that with your help I will come to know the secret of Maya.”  Seeking to dissuade him Vishnu smiled enigmatically.  Narada didn’t change his mind.

 

“So be it” said Vishnu.  The enigmatic smile not fading. “Let’s walk”, he said.

By mid morning they had left the forest, by noon they were walking a terrible red desert.  Vishnu languished saying he could go no further, he sat on a rock.

East of them, shimmering far away, almost out of site on the horizon there seemed to be green world.  “Sufficient strength remains to me”, Narada said “I will bring you water.”  “I will await you here” Vishnu said.  “I’ll be back before nightfall” Narada said as he set out.

 

There were times when he feared for his physical integrity and for his inner integrity, in that red rage, but he did, in the end, emerge from it.  How happy he was feeling in the cool green shade of the village he was walking into.

He knocked on the first door.  So enchanted was he by the young women who opened it that he altogether forgot why he had come.  He forgot his hermitage, his meditations, and his quest.  He walked into the house and sat down as though he had just come back from the field and the family to, they sat with him, ate with him, and talked to him as though he had just come back from the field and he did go into the fields the next day and he ploughed and he sowed and when harvest time came he reaped and when the reaping was done, the years work done, he asked the old man for the hand of the enchanting young woman, his daughter, in marriage.

It was a colorful wedding, woman in red and yellow saris, mirrored in it, brightened the river, brightened the boisterous firelight night.

A child, a girl was born to them, and as she grew older, yes everyone said so, she looked like Narada.  In time his wife and his daughter and his two young sons would go into the rice fields with Narada.  The old man died, Narada became head of the household.

They prospered, not once did a serious disease or illness come to their door.

One year the monsoons came early, the came violently.

More torrentially than anyone remembered.  Rivers overflowed their banks.   There were mudslides in the hills.   It was clear that the village would soon be engulfed, not just by water falling but also by water erupting.

Seeking the safety of higher ground, Narada and his wife and children went out into the night.  On earthworks they were walking in the lee of open river banks, an onslaught of water, slow at first, fell on them carrying them away.

Narada came to consciousness in a red desert, he heard foot falls behind him, and then a voice; “Did you bring the water?  You’ve been gone for almost an hour.”

 

So that is Maya, in a sense our lives are Maya.

 

In today’s confusion there is something missing from our lives.  Here’s JW Goethe to explain that something:

 

“He who would describe the living starts by driving the spirit out of it’s parts.  In the palm of his hands he holds all the sections lacks nothing except the spirits connections.”

 

We have lost the spirit, the spiritual values out of our lives, forget religions for a moment and concentrate on the spirit.  It’s what animates you and everything around you.  Everything.  Surely it makes sense to delve deeper into the spiritual.  This is what are children are lacking, love for the spiritual, not some half baked story, but the truth.  Everything is animated by spirit.  Show our children the love that exists in nature.  The beauty of the trees, the shrubs, the flowers, weeds, yes even weeds have a divine purpose.

Teach them the meaning of the animals.  The wonders of the ocean and rivers we have ignorantly destroyed.  Let us reverse the decline in our lives.

Nutrition is vitally important, here’s Naomi Mattana on Nutrition:

 

“We have complete control of what we put into our mouths; therefore our nutrition is solely based upon us taking responsibility for ourselves.  There are epidemics breaking out in America and England for childhood diabetes, obesity, and it is said that 7 out of 10 children in London are malnourished.  To me, this shows that even 1st world countries with every available resource at their fingertips cannot help.  Therefore, your life and the life of your children Is in your hands.  When we are born, we do not hate vegetables, we learn from those surrounding us, television and society.  We need to teach ourselves and our children that fruit and vegetables have all the nourishment, vitamins and minerals that the body craves.

 

Our bodies do not produce Vitamin C, yet we are in constant demand for it as it nourishes our body right down to the cellular level (1).

Oranges, Kiwis, Strawberries, rosehips are all loaded with Vitamin C, try alternating a chocolate bar in your lunch boxes with a bowlful of strawberries or a kiwi fruit; add a few blackberries and blueberries and you have a lunch time snack packed with antioxidants!

 

Processed foods, sweets, sodas, saturated fats, alcohol, lack of exercise and a lack of fresh air all lead to the demise of the body.  It is now a medical fact that Saturated fats promote atherosclerosis, a condition in which cholesterol is deposited in the arteries.  This is seen as a normal human characteristic, however it is not.  It is a disease created from a lifestyle of unhealthy eating of foods high in saturated fat – lard, meats, milk and its products. 

Processed foods load unnecessary toxins on the system, putting excess strain on your small and large intestines. 

Sweets/sodas raise your sugar levels to dangerous heights, increasing your insulin productions, making the children hyperactive and then treating them with chemicals for ADD.

Alcohol poisons the blood and damages the liver, as well as interfering with the faculties of the mind, causing one to be agitated, loose concentration and so forth.

 

Easy steps and preventative measures can be taken to nourish yourself back to health.  Start slowly by replacing some items on your dinner plate with a salad or vegetables, limit your food portions and stop eating just before you feel full.  Once your food has been digested you will realize you are in fact full.

 

Try to purchase fresh or preferably organically grown fruits and vegetables if they are not organic make certain you scrub them thoroughly to remove any pesticide residue.  If anything, try to purchase organic eggs whenever possible.

 

Research has been done in some schools in the United States where vending machines have been removed, ‘burger and fries’ lunches have been replaced with healthy sandwiches, salads and fruit juices.  Needless to say, the progress has been remarkable; the children reported being less aggressive, more attentive in class and had improved grades.

Why do we not do this in our own homes?

 

Know that your body is the temple for your soul, know that the air you breathe holds the vital energy or prana needed to nourish every living cell; breathe deeper, longer.

Know that everything you consume should be full of nutrients; choose foods that uplift your senses making you feel stronger and more alive.

 

The path is already there for those who choose it……………..”

 

Let’s move on to Plato:

 

Behold human beings, living in a sort of underground den, they have been there from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained – chains are arranged in such a manner as to prevent them from turning round their heads.  At a distance above and behind them the light of a fire is blazing, and between the fire and the prisoners, there is a raised way, and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which Marionette players have before them, over which they show the puppets. 

Imagine men passing along the wall carrying vessels, which appear over the wall; also figures of men and animals, made of stone and wood and various materials ; and some of the passengers, as you would expect, are talking, and some of them are silent; this is a strange image, he said, and they are strange prisoners. 

Like ourselves, I replied, and they see only their own shadows on the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave?

 

True, he said, how could they see anything but the shadows, if they were never allowed to move their heads?  And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would only see the shadows?  Yes, he said.

 

And if they were able to talk with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them?

Very true.

And suppose further that the prison had an echo which came from the other side, would they not be short of fancy that the voice which they heard is that of a passing shadow?  No question, he replied.

There can be no question, I said, that the truth would be to them just nothing but the shadows of the images.

That is certain.  And now look again and see how they are released and cured of their folly.  At first, when any one of them is liberated and compelled suddenly to go up and turn his neck around and walk and look at the light, he will suffer sharp pains, the glare will distress him and he will be unable to see the realities of which in his former state he had seen the shadows, and then imagine someone saying to him, that what he saw before was an illusion, but that now he is approaching real being and has a truer sight and vision of more real things, what will be his reply?  And you may further imagine that his instructor is pointing to the objects as they pass and requiring him to name them – will he not be in a difficulty?  Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him?  Far truer.
 

And if he is compelled to look at the light will he not have a pain in his eyes which will make him turn away and take refuge in the object of vision which he can see, and which he will conceive to be clearer than the things which are now being shown to him?  True, he said.  And suppose once more, that he is reluctantly dragged up a steep and rugged ascent, and held fast and forced into the presence of the sun himself, do you not think that he will be pained and irritated?  And when he approaches the light he will have his eyes dazzled, and will not be able to see any of the realities which are now affirmed to be the truth?

Not all in a moment, he said.  He will require getting accustomed to the sight of the upper world.  And first he will see the shadows best, next the reflections of men and other objects in the water, and then the objects themselves, next he will gaze upon the light of the moon and the stars, and he will see the sky and the stars by night, better than the sun, or the light of the sun, by day?  Certainly.

And at last he will be able to see the sun, and not mere reflections of him in the water, but he will see him as he is in his own proper place and not in another and he will contemplate his nature.  Certainly.

 

And after this he will reason that the sun is he who gives the season and the years, and is the guardian of all that is in the invisible world, and in a certain way the cause of all things which he and his fellows have been accustomed to behold.  Clearly, he said, he would come to the other first and to this afterwards.

And when he remembered his old habitation, and the wisdom of the den and his fellow prisoners, do you not suppose that he would felicitate himself in the change, and pity them?  Certainly he would.

 

And if they were in the habit of preferring honours on those who were quickest to observe and remember and foretell which of the shadows went before, and which followed after, and which were together, do you think that he would care for such honors and glories, or envy the possessors of them?

 

Would he not say with homer – “better to be a poor man, and have a poor master” and endure anything than to think and live after this manner?  Yes he said, I think he would rather suffer anything than live after their manner.  Imagine once more, I said, that such a one coming suddenly out of the sun where to be replaced in his own situation, is he not certain to have his eyes full of darkness?

Very true he said.  And if there was a contest, and he had to compete in measuring the shadows with the prisoners who have never moved out of the den?  During the time that his sight is weak, and before his eyes are stead (and the time which would be needed to acquire this new habit of sight might be very considerable), would he not be ridiculous?  Men would say of him that up he went and down he comes without his eyes, and that there was no use in even thinking of ascending and if anyone tried to loose another and lead him up to the light, let them only catch the offender in the act, and they would put him to death.

No question, he said. 

This allegory, I said, you may now append to the previous argument, the prison is the world of sight, the light of the fire is the sun, the ascent and vision of things above you may truly regard as the upward progress of the soul into the intellectual world.  And you will understand that those who attain to this beautific vision are unwilling to descend to human affairs, but their souls are ever hastening into the upper world in which they desire to dwell.

And is there anything surprising in one who passes from divine contemplation to human things, misbehaving himself in a ridiculous manner? 

There is nothing surprising in that, he replied. 

 

Anyone who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and the rise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the minds eye,  quiet as much of the bodily eye, and he who remembers this when he sees the soul of anyone whose vision is perplexed and weak, will he not be ready to laugh, he will first ask whether that soul has come out of the  brighter light, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light.  And then he will count one happy in his condition and state of being.

 

I hope these two stories clarify my feelings on illusion.

 

Here’s an article explaining what I mean by “The Ancients”

 

People often hear me talking about the ancients. Who do you mean?  When were they here?  Where did they go?  To understand the ancients we have to go back in humanity’s past. Way back, to understand the purpose of humanity.

 

But first, in our upbringing of today, 2003, we are told many lies that keep us confused and scattered.  Our energies are wasted, we move to the wrong beat of someone else’s drum.  We are kept in the dark in matters of real importance; the very nature of mankind is hidden from us.

In today’s global economy we are told that we as people, or nations, must make a profit.  What kind of lie is that?  Money put before health and welfare? Greed put in the way of feelings, lies told as truths?  Scaremongering and thought control.

All this is going on planet earth 2003.  Why?  We are conditioned from a very young age; the funny thing is we do not even know it.  Governments and religions tell us when to be happy, when to be sad, and our poor little ego’s do the rest. This you have to be aware of before you can begin to understand the ancients.

 

We are told we were swinging in trees not so long ago, and then we evolved into what we have today.  Were we indeed?

 

If we study the past civilizations whether it be the Maya, the Egyptians or the Vedic etc. you will notice a vast similarity between them.  Understanding sacred geometry is a must to realise this knowledge.  There are pyramids stretching right across our globe, it is not a coincidence.  The temples and the pyramids are all aligned to particular star systems and or planets. The knowledge they have encoded in them is breathtaking, to put it mildly.   The ancients to me are our past spiritual masters. 

To give you an example, if we look at the Egyptians, the Pharaohs had what would be called “Pharonic thought”. 

How would the Pharaohs think?

If we were to think of an oak tree, Pharonic thought would be to know everything of that oak tree from seed to flower.

Where does it grow best?

What other trees and plants would complement the oak?

What animals would use it has a home?

Which insects inhabit the oak?

Which birds nest in the oak?

Why to all those questions.

Why does the sap rise up the tree against gravity?

Does the sap represent our blood?

Is it magnetism that carries the sap, our blood up against gravity?

How long does it take to grow?

What benefits are there for us humans?  Air? Water? Shelter? Or food for instance.

What shade does it give?

What is the temperature difference in the shade? Why?

All those questions were understood by the Pharaohs.

 

Take that thought to the human canon (our frame), that is what the Pharaohs done when they built the temple in Luxor.  Everything about man has been encoded in the temple.  See  R A Schwaller de Lubicz,  ‘Temple of Man’ for a more complete understanding.

 

How about understanding where the seed comes from?  That’s the one to know.  I feel all inventions are from past remembrances, and if so, then we do not evolve, our body does but does our consciousness, or does the veil of forgetfulness hang low over our eyes?

When the veil is lifted what will we see?  Ourselves perhaps?  We grow dimmer from a brightness.  It’s like a pulse growing stronger and weaker, or a heartbeat.

In ancient Ireland we have the Tuath-de-Danaans crucifying Buddha.

We have the Christians crucifying Christ.

We have the Maya telling us about human sacrifice

We have the Vedic telling us about kali-yuga.

I ask the question, “Are they not telling us the same story symbolically?”

Great swathes of humanity are getting crucified right now.  Each one of us in one way or another, am I right?

The Maya committed human sacrifice ……. No, they told us it was coming.

 

Two world wars and all the other atrocities that have occurred over the last few thousand years, that’s human sacrifice.

So let us look again at these ancient civilizations and feel the pure of spirit that the stones speak of.  Yes, the information is there you just have to understand it, an understanding of the Mayan calendar is important at this time. The Maya were masters of time, and the knowledge in it. 

The knowledge is encoded at Chichen Itza, it is there for all to see and understand.  The ancient pyramids spread across our globe, the thousands of temples were once great spiritual schools, where one day we could hope to enter if we developed the self.

 

We become aware of being aware.

 

You have always been and you always will be.

A little bit of Ancient Knowledge

 

If we look to the work of Schwaller de Lubicz, his studies and conclusions of ancient Egypt, we find a treasure house of knowledge that will keep any searchers for the truth pleading for mercy with an onslaught of sheer inspiration and insight into the ancient Egyptian civilizations of the past.  John Antony West must be commended in his relentless effort to bring Schwaller’s work to the public. Anyone who is thinking of visiting Egypt should not consider going without John Antony West’s book, “The traveller’s key to ancient Egypt a guide to the sacred places.”  Schwaller de Lubicz  set out to prove the Egyptians built in harmony and proportion (this he did admirably).  His work detailing the use of the golden section phi in the building of the mighty temples, the detailed evidence he amassed was proof that the ancient Egyptians possessed a sophisticated and coherent mathematics that surpassed even his own thoughts on the Egyptians.  As with the ancient Maya or Vedic we find the ancient Egyptians using an integrated philosophical spiritual system that spoke volumes on the understanding of man and his place in the cosmos.

 

The temple at Luxor teaches us the creation of man, his spiritual development and his coming destiny.  The hieroglyphs speak of spiritual values.  They were etched in stone so we would not forget. To understand the hieroglyphs we have to understand that the consciousness of the Egyptians was at a much higher level than we are now. Trying to understand then with our present level of consciousness is nigh on impossible for the majority of the people today.

 

To give you an idea on their understanding let’s look to our dream life for clues. If you have a dream that you must travel to Canada for instance, you do not have the words flash through your mind, “Go to Canada.”

Instead, you have a picture formed in your dream, the picture would be symbolic and you would understand it.

If you draw the picture and show it to someone they would probably fail to understand its meaning. You could not look at it and say, “that’s A or that’s B” etc. that being the case it must mean this or that. However, It does not work like that.

 

The hieroglyphs are the same, they are symbolic of a high spiritual truth that could be felt by those trained in the art.  The Mayan and Vedic hieroglyphs are telling the same spiritual truths. Now, if we come to realise that these cultures were of a higher consciousness level and in fact they were telepathic, the truth may dawn on us how these great temples and pyramids were built.

Another example;  you have probably read in a newspaper or heard on the radio of a woman whose child was trapped under a vehicle and with no one around to help, has summoned the strength to lift the car and save her young child.  

Now what if we had that strength on call when our consciousness was higher and we were telepathic, would that not explain how the temples and pyramids were built?  Instead of these tales of slaves building the temples etc.  You can’t say to someone go and get enlightenment for me I’m too busy.

It doesn’t work like that. You have to do it yourself.

False personality and the Ego

 

Lets look at ourselves what makes us tick what gets us going what influences us.
Do we have role models.......why?
How does TV, the media, schools, and universities affect us?  Having a job, going to work, how does that affect the inner you?  Playing sport, following sport, what is all that about?
I support such and such a team....what does that mean? “But they’re the best” you say, “what today?...next week?...next year?....what?”
I am going to watch a load of millionaires playing football because they’re good at it, so they should be, they have been practicing all there life.
 
All these feelings we have are our false personalities, our egos fuels them. Our soul watches and waits, even our religious beliefs are our false personalities. We should outgrow religions very quickly but most involved with religions do not. They allow themselves to become conditioned, controlled, and they deny it, they fight against the very truth they are searching for.
People in uniform for instance, that is their false personality. Take policemen for example, they approach you and you have already been conditioned to accept them, believe them, and obey them.  Television puts enough of those thoughts in our heads, in our children’s heads.
 
When a policeman approaches you, he has already been conditioned how to respond to a given situation, that is his false personality.  Maybe he is there to break up a peaceful demonstration; he has been conditioned to believe the demonstrators are in the wrong, his soul would not believe that, but his false personality is controlled by his ego.
Do not get me wrong on this; I am only using a policeman as an example.  We could say the foreman in work or the boss or the owner, it is there false personalities having a ball.  If we want to know and feel the truth we have to understand this fact.  Observe people at work giving orders out, strutting there stuff, really going for it, that is there false personality running the show with the help of their ego.
So when we grasp this truth we can begin to understand by observing ourselves,  we can begin to see our false personalities.  By seeing and understanding this we can begin to change ourselves.
 
We have to re-educate ourselves to learn to listen to others, really listen.  Learn to feel, really feel, and feel their concerns.  Let our souls begin to awaken, give your soul the food it needs to grow, to awaken the sleeping beauty that is in all of us.
