Life itself is pretty pointless when it is viewed from the appropriate perspective.  Anything one does in life is likewise pointless.  That is why spiritual masters say that the best thing one can do with one’s life is to give it away thru one’s work for the world.

As soon as a man is imprisoned for any reason, besides being responsible for maintaining that man’s health (if the jailer is reasonably civilized) the jailer is also karmically bonded to that man.  When I think on this, I see the reason why Robert Heinlein wrote in his book Stranger in a Strange Land that the main character, a spiritual superhuman raised on another planet, considered it wrong to imprison anyone (much less turn over anyone to the police).

When we consider the above in regards to why it is wrong to jail a man, it becomes clear why it is erroneous.  From the spiritual perspective the very idea of doing anything to harm anyone or otherwise forcibly connect yourself to that person is far beyond asinine because it keeps you “here” forever, frozen in one place as Dante described the lowest and most horrible level of hell.  Isn’t jailing a man and thereby being responsible for him just a physical manifestation of the horror just described?  Attempting to control anyone, be it a spouse, one’s children, a nation’s population, or a convicted man, is absolutely foolish.  It can be likened to being the absolute biggest meddler, busybody and just plain nosy jackass that ever lived.

Imagine, just try to imagine how much effort and trouble one has to go through to take someone into your custody, transport them and lock them up, much less look after them for the duration of their sentence.  The whole affair expends such a ridiculous amount of energy that I can’t understand why anyone would ever bother to do it unless they are consumed by fear and hatred at some deep level.  Such fear would explain why priests, police, and “watch groups” are propelled by some compulsion to spend great portions of their lives looking for someone who is doing something they don’t like.

As preposterous as it sounds, I see the fear/jailing scenario to be analogous to producing children.  If one considers the perspective that life is suffering, and that earth is really a physical hell that one comes to when born, then the idea of producing children becomes wrong, just as wrong as marriage itself, which is then viewed as another manifestation of the lowest level of hell in which one voluntarily bonds oneself to another.

Loving someone so much that you are attached to them is unwise because it keeps one stuck in existence itself forever.

Conversely, hating or fearing someone so much that you are attached to them is unwise because it keeps one stuck in existence itself forever.

Both fear and love produce the same seemingly paradoxical results—imprisonment for the both the feared/fearer as well as the beloved/lover, as the case may be.

Little wonder then that the Wisest ones throughout history have always warned against fearing anything and often lived their lives alone, or otherwise unmarried, quietly observing the world as it goes about it insane activities.

Isn’t it funny how when the government declares war on something, whether it be drugs or poverty or crime, etc., the thing that is the object of hostility suddenly becomes a problem that never really was a problem and will never go away until the hostility towards the thing is released.  This occurrence hints at the true way of peace.  There can be no peace through war.  War perpetuates itself.  If the notion of fighting something is released, then the perceived problem will go away.

In Kriya Yoga one sets in motion two opposing energies and engages them in a sort of war with each other.  The proper way to practice Kriya Yoga is to do it so much that you get to a point that the energies come to a peaceful solution with less and less practice. Peace becomes automatic after enough practice.  Isn’t that weird?  The practice of Kriya is a technique of teaching yourself that it is no use to fight for long because it leads nowhere.  One learns it is futile to keep these energies at war with each other.  The practitioner learns to stop the war within and engage in a kind of “24/7 Peace”.  The yogi learns that the Truest Joy comes from stopping the war, from engaging in a kind of willed death through a conscious invitation born out of experience in meditation, observation and contemplation?

Given the above, Kriya really seems to be a practice in willed death.

Perhaps when the world engages in enough mind-numbing war, the people will finally come to understand that war is futile.  Then, perhaps world peace will finally come to all.

Or rather to the survivors…if there are any.

“Say what you mean and mean what you say.”

If everyone did this, there would be no need to pepper our speech with adjectives that modify a word that already expresses an absolute quality.

I mention this because of the tendency of the population to do exactly that, needlessly emphasize a truism that has already been established.  This came to mind when I remembered how O.J. Simpson pleaded at the beginning of his trial for double murder.  He pleaded (if memory serves correctly), “Absolutely, 100 percent, not guilty.”

Assuming he was innocent of the crime, I understand why he emphasized his plea so strongly.  All around him were irrational, judgmental people who were already so convinced of his guilt, there was little or no hope of persuading their minds into a more open state.

But alas, not everyone is in the habit of saying what they mean and meaning what they say.  This sad state of affairs is programmed in our minds since birth.  How many times have you experienced a hapless parent trying in vain to verbally control their child.  It is as funny as anything coming out of Hollywood.  They do everything but what they say they will do.  “If you don’t behave, I will spank you.”  No spanking occurs.  And the threat is repeated with no follow-up.  The whole process is repeated past the point of futility.  And what does the child learn?

No one says what they mean or means what they say.

And so we have a world of idiots creating a constant state of chaos.

“Say what you mean and mean what you say.”

The whole universe is a manifestation of opposites interacting.  All that we experience is an interaction that is usually lumped into the category of good or evil.

Another perspective is to say all is either creative or destructive.  But are they really different?  Every time someone performs actions that are creative, are they not also involved in the process of destroying something (or several things) in order to create that new thing?  The answer is obvious when you think about it.

Likewise every time someone destroys something, are they not indirectly creating a new reality in the process?

All is change.  Creation is change.  Destruction is change.  Both are inexorably linked to each other.  They are just opposite poles of change.  And change is an underlying Principal Truth.

But even change itself has an opposite—Changelessness.  Or think of it the following way.  That which is Eternal is unchanging; if a thing does not change, then it exists perpetually and hence is Changeless or Eternal.  And the concept of Change itself is one that is Eternal because it is Constant—it does not change.  Think about that.  Change, though by the very definition of the word, states that a thing is anything but Eternal because it can be changed, yet the concept of Change itself is unchanging, Eternal.  The word itself hides its own true hidden nature.

The Canadian rock group Rush stated in their hit song Tom Sawyer, “Changes aren’t permanent, but Change is.”

All that takes place is constant change, falsely perceived by us as one thing or another, but changes nonetheless.  Anytime we set out to change something in the world, someone out there will perceive it as either helpful or harmful to them at some level.  And no matter how you look at it, it is a form of force, rape even.  Despite our best intentions and seemingly good actions, we often do little more than cause hell for others.  As the old saying goes, “The road to Hell is often paved with good intentions.”

Politicians, despots and governments in general are eternally famous for creating hell on earth with their so-called good intentions.  They may think that what they do is good for the people, but the fact is nothing they do is really beneficial for everyone.  Recall Abraham Lincoln’s comment about fooling some of the people some of the time, most of the people most of the time, but not all the people all of the time?  One could turn this around and say that your so-called good intentions can help some of the people some of the time, most of the people most of the time, but it is impossible to help everyone with every good intentioned action on your part all of the time.  Such grandiose expectations of one’s actions are the sign of a small mind clouded by a big ego.

And do we need to even state that the bad intentions of Politicians, despots, and governments which result in destruction and war do little more than create a living hell on earth (and a lot of cash for those feeding the war machine)?  I see no reason to further elaborate on this point.

So is there any way around this quandary of causing hell no matter what you do?  I may be wrong here, I think there is.

As far as I have been able to determine, the only action or work that is appropriate at any time is that which is offered (for lack of a better word) to the world, to be used or ignored of their own free will, utilizing a personal choice unforced by any means (such as marketing or deceptive advertising).  The idea here is to neither give something undeservedly to anyone nor unfairly take away from them what little they have.

The point to keep in mind is always to simply offer your skills, work and service to others, not to force your skills, work and “service” under the guise of “helping” people, for this good-intentioned action always results in a forced hell for someone out there (sometimes the very person you are forcing your help upon).

If you can simply resist the urge to “help” when no help is really needed, as well as refusing help when it isn’t really needed, then you will be in the middle ground between good and evil, creation and destruction.  You will live a peaceful life of peaceful service that is neither unnecessarily forced nor cruelly restricted as the situation dictates in either circumstance.

What I have described above seems (in my opinion) one way to live in heaven, a method of action that can help create the Utopian dream of Heaven on Earth.  Anything else, no matter how slight a deviation, is the first step in the direction of Hell.

Using analogy, we can apply these concepts of change and changelessness to sex and in particular to the practice of Tantra.  Simply stated, the man assumes the position of the eternal, the changeless.  And the woman assumes that of the changeable.

Technically the man reflects changelessness in that during the Tantric sex act his penis is “eternally” rigid, fixed and unyielding while the woman mirrors changeability in that her vagina is soft, flexible and yielding to accommodate the man within her body.

Ideally, the man sits there more or less motionless with the woman on his lap able to move freely as she desires.  By their perfect interaction, they imitate occult Principals at work in the whole Universe.   Operating together, each participant “cancels out” the other, with the result being they both experience the Joy of Love, Ecstasy and Peace of Mind.

Both Forgetting and Memory Distortion are both forms of Mind Control inflicted on the Mind by the Dark Powers.  Forgetting is to live in a world of darkness.  Remembering is to live in a world of endless light.  When we remember that we are Truly connected to God, we experience ourselves (according to reports of spiritualists) as Light, Pure Light.  We remember who and what we Truly are.

Being enlightened means being in a constant state of absolute knowledge that you are One with the Universal Spirit.  It also means that this “earth-school” of sorts holds no more interest for you.  You then have the option to stay a little while or a long while and be a teacher to others.  Or you can move on, no strings.  There is no shame in going away from this school upon reaching enlightenment.  You no longer are learning the teachings of the school, but you rather have become the knowledge itself, embodying it within yourself, knowledgeable of its secrets, aware of how it is a sort of “zero sum” merry-go-round that looks like a world of ignorant masses who are being ruled over by selfish overlords.  You see how there is nothing to gain here, that it is all essentially worthless in the end.  Etc., etc., etc.  A student has no business staying in school unless he/she wishes to become a teacher.  But eventually, all must retire from such a post.

Truth…up the ass

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Spiritually speaking, a woman proves her absolute love for a man in 3 sexual ways:

Firstly, she gives a man complete love by offering her vagina for penetration.  If the couple is facing each other (she sitting on his lap) then it is easy for the woman to give her heart’s love to the man since his heart is pressed up against her own.

Secondly, she gives him total worship and/or adoration by offering her mouth for penetration, i.e., oral sex.  With this method, her love and in particular her gratitude is further proven to the ultimate degree by how eagerly and willingly she accepts her lover’s semen inside her mouth for swallowing.  Her attitude towards this sexual act of veneration and adoration reveals her true nature, utterly.

Thirdly, she demonstrates absolute trust and/or faith in her lover by accepting his penis inside of her ass.  There may be no finer example of the total receptivity of the woman to her man than to engage in this sex act.

Here is a simple explanation why it can be considered a spiritual act of love to have sex in such a delicate area that (according to some) is not originally intended for such activity (“butt” nevertheless happens).

Anal sex is perhaps the biggest sexual taboo between consenting adults (mainly because of the mores and code of conduct espoused by the Klandestine Kult of Kontrol composed of the “traditional family values” people, the  Church, arch-conservatives and other self-restricted pitiable fools out there).

All programmed belief aside, the very act itself requires such delicacy that trust is a huge part of the equation.  The female puts her whole faith in the man penetrating her body, trusting that his intention is only to give her Joy and not pain.  Nevertheless, some pain is a paradoxical part of the equation.  If the man approaches the act with enough patience and delicacy, applying enough restriction on his part so as not to cause pain, and if the woman can completely relax her body, giving herself over to the man completely, and if she can convince her mind that all perceived sensations, no matter how painful she may initially believe it to be, she can come to know by direct experience a principle Truth: namely that ALL perceived sensation results in an existence that is distant from the unity of God and is therefore simultaneously painful and pleasurable.  (In other words, all that we experience in life, and even life itself is painful; even the act of breathing can be painful, especially during a deep meditation.)

Sex itself, no matter how it is performed is the attempt to unite physically what simply cannot be united physically.  The result is sensual pleasure in the attempt (the sex act) followed by sensual pain from the defeat (the attempt ends with the death of said attempt—orgasm).  But all is not lost.  Life can be lived as Joy despite this ultimate truth.  If one can learn to perceive every sensation as equal, no matter if it is usually lumped into the categories of painful or pleasurable, then one can enjoy all life has to offer confident in the knowledge that all things are of God, and God’s nature is Joy.  Life should be joyous.  Life should be lived as an veritable expression of Joy.  Enjoy the happy times and experiences when they come and meet the misfortunes of life with a balanced mind knowing deep down that all is of God and nothing can really hurt you.

Women (and men) can have orgasms through anal sex.  It happens all the time.  Just take a gander at the corresponding adult films (the ones in which the actors/actresses are actually enjoying it and not faking pleasure, or otherwise intentionally being abused on film) and tell me the orgasms are not real.  They can’t all be faking it, can they?

I find it curious that one of the ways in which we can learn the Truth is to descend down as far away from the Source as possible (represented by the lower end of the spine) and totally engage ourselves with all manner of sexual activity only to arrive at the Truth in any event (assuming one is open to actually receiving the Truth, and not just trying to ‘get off’).

It is somewhat amusing to recognize why the “KKK” will never understand the profound wisdom of God because they fear it and are stuck in fear.  And one of the main ways they restrict themselves from the truth is to forcibly regulate sexual behavior in themselves (which is never really and truly successful) as well as attempting to restrict others as well.  But God cannot be mocked or ignored in such a manner.  What then occurs is always the same routine.  They restrict their behavior according to some set of rules issued by so-called authorities and as soon as that restriction begins, aberrant behavior ensues.  They become obsessed with the thing that they falsely believe they must avoid.  Their obsessions may become all-consuming, possibly leading to destructive behavior that could hurt others or themselves or both.

What is hated or ignored or simply unacknowledged becomes the demon that always lurks just outside the door.  It is a bit of a joke among those who live mostly free lifestyles that priests, preachers and conservative politicians always practice in secret what they publicly preach as sin or illegal.  But there is truth in the joke.  Recent sex scandals in the Church are evidence enough on the religious side.  And the occasional sex scandals among politicians suffice to prove it on the secular side.

Externally forced restrictions always result in all manner of deviation.  There is no circumventing this.  As the English occultist Aleister Crowley once wrote, “The only sin is restriction.”

The only possible exception to this rule occurs when one simultaneously restricts oneself from activities that cause suffering and misery, while practicing some uplifting form of spirituality.  One cannot simply eliminate the bad weeds and hope they never come back.  They must be smothered out of future existence by some positive fruits, the growing of which must be tended to daily.  Otherwise, ruin is the eventual result.

The United States of America, translated by my consciousness means…

This place in which I exist is truly A Manifestation of All of the various United States of Consciousness that are generated by Love.  Since the ancient middle eastern name for the planet Venus was “Merica”, this land is by definition of its own name a Singular Place of Love Manifesting as the Chaos of Endless Variety.  When one stops being amazed by any of it, seeing finally the endless chaos that it is, and learns to be unaffected by it, then since a “cessation of the fluctuation of mind stuff” has occurred, enlightenment ensues.

This is the heart and soul of the Science of Yoga.  Yoga teaches one to be “indifferent” so to speak, or to be able to see “no difference” between anything at all, to see it all as One, which ceases the fluctuations of the mind that cause suffering.  And isn’t this the definition of Samadhi?  A state of “no difference”?  And if there is no difference, then it doesn’t matter where you live or how much you earn or what is your dharma duty—with the state of no difference accompanying Samadhi consciousness, one is always even minded or Joyous.  Remember “a sad saint is a sad saint indeed”!

Since all things are ultimately equal, my advice to all Americans is to do what they will, no matter how great or small, with no regard for anyone or anything which tries to limit you.  But so few do this.  This country has to change, and revolution must come.  It is the order of things.  It must happen and will happen.  Otherwise this nation is literally not living up to its own name.  This nation must not be confined to a homogenous way of life, nor limited to a narrow perception dictated by anyone or anything, especially a government, for that is not the function of a government.  This nation must learn that we are all United, that all are equal in the eyes of Deity, that all have the right to do as they will as long as they are not intentionally interfering with anyone else.

Change is in the air.  I feel it.  It is coming as surely as the dawn arrives every 24 hours.

Fool for Love, Love’s Fool

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Life itself seems to be a corruption of the Truth.  Any distortion of the Truth results in a perception which is really a misperception.  Any deformity of the Truth can be classified for the most part as either comedy or drama.  Something to make you laugh, or to disturb you.  Something good or evil.  Life and death.  Endless polarity, on and on.

To me, the idea of physical immortality (an ancient dream of humanity) seems a trick of the ego, a wild fantasy to keep us ensnared to some idea that keeps us limited to being “here” (instead of perhaps being “everywhere”?).  Perhaps that very idea of immortality stems from the notion that we think (read—believe) we are bigger, more important than we really are and therefore we can change the world, and that is why we keep coming back?  Why anyone would voluntarily leave Truth is beyond me, except to say that they believe that they can help others still stuck out there in the world who used to suffer like they themselves once did.  When one can let go of this kind of falsely self-imposed responsibility to save the whole universe, then peace of mind ensues.

The worst nightmare I can think of is to keep reincarnating in physical bodies (and I presume astral and causal bodies) from the cause of Compassion and feeling constantly beholden to the whole universe.  Maybe love itself is the Ultimate Cause?  When one can stop feeling so obliged to the Universe, then Peace ensues.  The Peace of Death, of Enlightenment.

Remember the quote in Jon Peniel’s book (The Lost Teachings of Atlantis).  “Only the bleeding heart returns.”  Zain said that if one decides upon reaching enlightenment not to return here (physical life), then that is their choice, but there is nothing wrong with moving on.

Love apparently keeps us coming back again and again.  Love makes us suffer voluntarily.  Love causes us to focus on one thing, instead of the whole thing.  This is corruption of truth, focusing on a part instead of the whole.  When we focus on the whole, we are automatically using our perception to encompass all things, instead of just some part or parts of the whole thing.  Love makes us ignore certain things in favor of others.

Perhaps the poets of old are right.  Love turns us into fools.

Ever notice that the word “author” appears in authority?

To me this means that the person considered to be the authority is in fact the author of the reality that controls the people who see him/her as in charge.  “In charge”…meaning charged up with energy, able to broadcast the light of God like a sun…a sun of god or son of god—take your pick.  He/she who shines the brightest with the borrowed light of others freely given to him resulting from  a poor choice made by the masses,…is a vampire—nothing more, nothing less.

All of this is the reason why the one who shines with their own light controls the whole world because he/she is a genuine Giver of Light that originates from Source/God/Divinity, this as opposed to being either the aforementioned Vampire Authority or the Ignorant Blood Donors.

Upon examination of all of this, it becomes evident that humility is needed to find God’s Light, lest one allow oneself to be considered a ruling authority figure that spends his time senselessly trying to attract the attention of ignorant masses and thereby stealing what little (if any) spark of a flame they possess.  Isn’t this problem at the heart of all despots, selfish political rulers, murderous mob bosses, untalented “celebrities”, etc.?  They spend all their time desperately trying to steal from the public, be it time, attention, power, approval sex or money.

Therefore if you are interested in ascending the heights up to God, be humble, especially if you are passing on your acquired knowledge and wisdom of God to students, beware of letting their silent or acknowledged consideration of you as an authority lead you into thinking that you are an end-all-be-all authority which can easily lead you to the ego-trick of becoming the selfish overlord Vampire just mentioned above.

Be humble about your acquired knowledge and wisdom of God and you shall receive it All utterly one fine day.  And you shall be as a Sun of God shining Divine Light.

It is just my opinion, but I think that both feeling guilt, as well as the need to apologize, is nothing less than to completely deny the wisdom of your role in the world, to deny your own dharma or duty as though it is a mistake, to deny that you behaved in the only way possible for you to do so at any particular time in one’s life.  To me, the process of feeling guilt and then apologizing just seem like a mistake, a slap in the face of your own Higher Self.

Those who serve their purpose and do what they are here to do have no need to apologize for anything, no matter what happens.  Even the act of just taking time to apologize for one’s true, intended actions is taking time away from your purpose in life.  Let your intentions be pure and selfless.  And then…Just do.  But do not apologize.  No guilt.  No shame.  No apologies.  Not now.  Not ever.

Such are the actions of a God-united being.
