Every woman has a penis.  It is invisible.  It takes the form of the fiery love that erupts from between (and thru) her breasts—namely her heart.  This goes a long way in explaining why one current slang word for breasts is ‘chesticles’.  What lies between a man’s testicles?  The same thing as what lies between the woman’s breasts.  But being manifested as polar opposites in the form of physical male/female bodies, they take on forms that only look different on the physical plane.

Is it any wonder why so many men (in this country) are afraid to open their hearts fully to the women in their lives?  Deep down, each man knows (if only unconsciously) that he must also surrender the most vulnerable part of himself to this woman before him, just as the woman has surrendered the most vulnerable part of herself to him.  From the state of things in this overly mechanical and industrialized country, it is safe to say that few men are opening themselves up at all.

As a result of this, many women are feeling unfulfilled, if not downright ripped off because they gave something of themselves that was not returned in like fashion by the men in their lives.  Generally speaking, the women in these relationships were usually chased by cowardly men who used every trick in the book to get her in his bed.  I say cowardly, because they are afraid to open themselves up to any degree, lacking true bravery, i.e., cowardly.  Instead of using an open heart as Spirit intends, they use every deception possible.

And since most women have rarely if ever even met a real spiritual man, they naturally assume that this cowardly behavior of men is just normal.  So they usually fall for the various ploys that seek to subvert the natural order.

And so those men who actually do want to surrender their hearts then have a difficult time finding just one woman who is willing to surrender her body because most women have been tricked so often that they are sick of it all, weary of getting stuck with another cowardly jerk.  After years of bad relationships, they are no longer able to recognize the genuine article when he appears, opting to mistrust all men, closing themselves off to every one of them (including the genuinely loving ones), sometimes even attempting to find what they are looking for in the same sex—lesbianism.

If this whole sad situation is to be remedied, then men must stop chasing women, for the natural order of the universe doesn’t work that way and never has.  Men must be willing to be open-hearted, little by little, bit by bit, in order to experience fulfilling relationships.

For any man to experience a truly spiritual, uplifting, exciting, intimate, and thoroughly ecstatic relationship (or more than one) then he must soon realize what every male Tantra practitioner knows by experience—that a hard phallus must always be accompanied by a soft heart.

This is the Law of Polarity in action.  This is the natural way of the cosmos.

For all people who wish to engage in simultaneous multiple relationships (i.e., two or more lovers) but wish to eliminate the usual inherent problems (jealousy, primarily), I offer the following suggestions.

Begin with changing the manner in which you love.  When you feel love for all, then you are free to accept love from whoever wishes to return the love you are sending out, no matter what form that takes.  When you love no one person above all others, no one in particular, only then you are free to love all equally.  And when you love all equally, you’re your life can be enriched that much more in a variety of ways, which include personal relationships.  When this method of universal loving is mastered in life, then you achieve a state of being in which you are free to give and receive love in any form, at anytime, and with whomever you wish, all because you are not relying or are otherwise dependant upon just one person to fulfill your loving needs.

When love is mastered in this manner, then the concept of scarcity has no place to grow, for you have opened yourself up to love from all directions.  The weed of jealously that grows from the erroneous belief of scarcity then has no place to sprout, much less grow.

In such a state of universal loving, all those involved in such types of relationships, know in their heart of hearts that there is enough of everything to go around in this life, and that includes love.

As hinted above, this belief of scarcity manifests in human relationships as common jealousy.  Fear of there not being enough, greed in wanting more of what one has already been given—these are also other modes of expression that arise from a belief that there isn’t enough.

But what if one knew with a faith beyond faith that there was so much of everything to go around that it was literally boundless in supply, if one knew that no matter what demand was placed on the Source, it would ever remain limitlessly abundant?  From where would jealously arise then?  Nowhere.

Then at least in the context of human relationships, heaven would be brought down to earth, for the Source is ever-eager to fulfill us.  It is patiently waiting for us to just surrender our illusions about what is available to us.  And what is available to us?

Anything & Everything, instead of only one thing in particular.

The silly notions popularized in the modern media concerning the fear of uttering the words “I love you,” to your lover are just silly when carefully examined.

Think about all the ways in which you love your lover.  For God’s sake, people seem so quick to let their bodies say it to each other in sundry ways.  The language of their bodies says it, the language expressed by their erupting emotions  says it, the language conveyed thru various breathing patterns says it,…so why not say it using the language of an audible verbal communication as well?  Is it really so different from the other methods of communication?  It seems to fit in well with all of the other language patterns being exhibited by the lovers.

Look at it this way.  Define the expression of loving as follows: the art and science of focusing one’s complete attention on something and fully expressing one’s total self in that direction of concentration, bringing all of one’s various abilities of communication to bare, leaving no lone ability of communication alone off in another direction.  By this definition, it would be stupid to refuse to say ‘I love you’ if one desired to express it—after all, every other part of you is doing the same.  So why not express it with the vocal cords?

This intense level of concentration I am referring to is nothing new.  Many worldly successful people do this all the time without ever seeming to notice.  They just totally focus on a thing until it is acquired.  All of their powers and abilities are brought to bear with total attention.  That is true devotional love for what you do.  That is magic.  And anyone can do it.  Most people do it anyway.  Those who refuse to focus totally are like the lovers afraid to say the words “I love you,” in that they are not ‘following thru’ with the love they are already expressing in every other way imaginable.

Now it is a whole other issue if the partners are so completely immersed within a deep loving trance, the level of communication beings so deeply expressed and experienced, that bothering to speak becomes redundant, if not a burden to have to bother to expend energy using the vocal cords.  Again, this situation is an entirely other matter.

If you feel love, feel free to express it in any way that reflects the truth of your experience.  Let no one force you to say it if this is not how your own heart wishes to express it at the moment.  Say ‘I love you’ only if that is what you feel like doing.

The act of just saying those “3 little words” is not as big a deal as the idiots who control the media attempt to program us to think it is.  It is just another level of expression one engages in, nothing more, nothing less.  The more the media whores try to make a big deal out of it (usually for the sake of comedy) the more one is likely to ignore it as a genuine avenue to expression.

We human beings are not what we think we are.  From one perspective, we are hollow.  We think we are solid, but we are not.  Let’s temporarily ignore the fact that we are just moving images, holograms really, running about to and fro inside of a dream.

Look at the digestive tract for instance.  It begins with a hole and ends with another.

Look at the spinal column.  It is a tube, a channel, a wire if you will.  It’s function is to transmit information to and fro along its length between the outermost limits of our nerves all the way to the concentrated bundles in the brain.  This information is electrical in nature, passing back and forth thru a channel, an insulated wire that is the spinal cord.

Information about the outside world travels up the spine where it is processed by our brain.  Commands from the brain travel down the length of the spine to our body, directing its actions.  In either case there are electrical impulses running around.  And this electrical energy is traveling along the biological wires that make up the body’s nervous system.  This means that the nervous system, from the brain down to the very ends the nerves, is nothing more than a conduit, a channel.  And a channel is empty and useless in and of itself, in a word—hollow.

The human body is so easily perceptible to us, but the more sublime truth always remains that it is more of a channel for something far less tangible.

Sometimes it seems that we humans beings are just a bunch of cosmic disturbances, like holes ripped and torn in the fabric of the universe, but manifesting in an energetic form that looks physical, but more subtly resembling weird etheric-looking doughnuts manifesting itself in this 3-D fabric which seems so convincingly real to our senses that all else that cannot be easily sensed is often assumed to not even exist.  Furthermore, most people never seem to give a single thought about where all of this even came from!

Each galaxy is an giant conglomeration of stars and planets orbiting around a black hole.  The universe is the womb of the Divine Goddess, and all the stars and planets that seemingly came out of the black hole actually resemble by analogy the sperm of the Divine God, whose cosmic sized ejaculation produced all of the stellar phenomenon that we know of in the cosmos, complete with all the life that is busy running around in it, perceiving it, redirecting it, changing it, being changed by it, reacting to it, not reacting to it, etc.

The Ultimate is not the Divine Goddess in whom this universe is manifesting.  Nor is it the Divine God that injected it into Her.  The Ultimate is this…There is only the One, and the One is That which is both behind the creation of, and the need to create, the two Divinities to come into manifestation, the universe they manifest, as well as the field into which this manifestation takes place, and not to mention that Consciousness, the living/not-living Thing-No-Thing that is littered throughout the Universe and is busy both perceiving and observing IT ALL, Itself, It’s Self.

And we think we are just these puny little human bodies.  How laughable.

The Soul cannot be held prisoner by things it recognizes, specifically the tricks of the Ego.  If the Soul is allowed to rule for even a short time, the observer can witness that this Higher part of One’s Self is most able to provide all that is needed in the way of making the Ego work for the human being in question (instead of the human working for the Ego).

Surrendering to the Higher Self allots one a fruitful life filled with prosperity and peace of mind.  The Ego would have one believe that his/her Source came from the outside, i.e., the Ego.  But it does this in subtle, clever ways, but in no way foolproof.  And an interesting word choice that is—foolproof.  It is interesting because only one who acts in ways denounced as foolish by one’s external society is in a position to obtain the help of the Higher Self which shines a light on the Ego’s illusionary tricks.

Society puts forth the opinion that only a fool would forsake a full life living exactly as everyone else does.  But the fool is wise indeed, for only in forsaking that life can he obtain the truth of the Ego’s illusionary web of deceit.  But he doesn’t condemn the Ego.  Instead, he observes its ways passively, so much so that it borders next to ignoring it, even starving it into submission.  And once his Ego is dead, then the light of knowledge and wisdom will shine from the Higher Self.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can do nothing against it.”

Some spiritual schools of thought teach us that if we are to find inner peace we must spend more time just observing our thoughts, actions and deeds completely without judgment, playing the part of audience to a movie called life, free to be moved as we will while watching and/or participating at one’s discretion, even taking the director’s chair when necessity demands it.  As sound a perspective as any I ever heard.

Another equally valid perspective tells us that we must starve our dark side into submission, essentially refusing to feed our demons until their willful desire to dominate us finally dies, leaving them no choice but to serve the Divine Soul.  The method or technique by which this is accomplished can be summarized as simply not paying attention to the Ego’s mania.  Remain Neutral no matter what it throws at you.

If this becomes a habit, then the Divine Soul has a chance to retrieve the knowledge of its Divine Origin, and can never again be lost, because in fact it never really was gone.  The Soul then becomes the commander, leading to peace, supporting your efforts at offering help to your fellows, and protecting you from harm.  This can all be done by adopting the role of Observer in one’s life.  If one refuses to give any attention/energy to the dumb things coming from the Ego, then those dumb things cannot manifest in one’s life, due to a lack of nourishment from the person in the form of the thoughts, emotions and actions related to any of the Ego’s dumb ideas coming from without.

Have NO judgments, NO reactions to what the Ego would have you believe is real ‘out there’, and they won’t come true.  Instead, one should quietly listen to the ideas coming from Divinity within us.  Then life itself will be transformed.

Two perspectives, two techniques, but the same peaceful enlightening result.

It came to me in a flash one night that perhaps one reason the human body can choke when eating stems from the fact that human beings don’t really need food to survive.  Perhaps choking is a subtle reminder from God that food is not a prerequisite for life?  But if it is possible to live without food, then why are we alive in the first place?

Some spiritual adepts throughout history have demonstrated the possibility of non-eating, and yet live.  And why not?  Just by a daily practice of a simple yogic technique anyone can prove to themselves that they do not even need to breathe once every 4 minutes to keep the body alive.  Now, if one does not need air, then why should food be so important?  Or water for that matter?  As any good medical text would confirm, of the three essentials for life, air is the most vital.  But if by spiritual practice one proves that even air is not the most vital, then why should water and food be considered so important?

Perhaps the Ancients are right after all.  If truly none of us need these so called essentials for life, then perhaps life itself isn’t necessary either?  Maybe we don’t need to even ‘be here’ in the first place?

………that is precisely what the most ancient spiritual traditions teach.

We do not need to ‘be here’.

God is waiting for us to come home again.

The reason people’s bodies deflate and sag as they progress in life may be simply because they are no longer letting Divinity fill them up anymore.  A body that is full of life, as in a youthful body, is just like a balloon filled to capacity (with air, helium, water, gel, etc.).  One that is losing its ability to hold on to life is like a balloon nearly fully deflated, shriveled, sagging, etc.

When the body is full of life, in balance, receiving all of the needed nutrients and constantly clean of its own waste, is robust and without blemish, its internal organs and outer covering of skin constantly are being replaced according to a mental pattern.

When the body’s life force is nearly gone, or suffering malnutrition, living in its own filth, losing the will to live, or is in one way or another weak, fragile, wilting, etc., then the youthful qualities begin to vanish.

Fill yourself with Life, with Life Force, with Love, Laughter, Joy.  Do what you will, taking your fill of that which fills you with Life, with an inner Fire shining Divine Light that inflates your otherwise darkened, collapsed body.  Do this, and you shall have Eternal Youth manifest in the Physical body—no matter how many years pass between now and your birth into the world, you shall have Joy, Knowledge, Love and Health, all manifested down into the Body.  You shall be a curiosity among men, defying all of their scientists’ expectations regarding health, longevity, and other characteristics of health.

Eternal Life in a youthful body is everyone’s right, but all must make the effort, or else the wheel of life that gave them birth and raised them to the top of the wheel’s arc will soon roll over, crushing them.

Imagine a circus performer who has developed a great sense of balance through much practice and is subsequently able to walk along the top of a large ‘hamster wheel’.  That is the idea here.  Once on top, learn to walk carefully on your path, balancing yourself as you walk along, and you need never be crushed.  You can even stop the wheel from turning when you will and just stand still, or even walk backwards as well.  You can even jump off when you have enough, a decision reserved for Initiates, because of their efforts at becoming one with Divinity.  All others have no choice but to be crushed by the wheel when it comes rolling around.

Life is a turning wheel.  Learn to master it or it will master you.

It seems that manmade inventions which make our lives a little easier always carry with them a curse.  If that curse is not acknowledged by the user of the invention, then that person stands to suffer from it.  Examined closely, it looks as though that curse is the possibility that with extended use of the manmade invention, the user will suffer the loss of his/her own inner power, their inner ability, even their very memory of ever being able to do for themselves that which the invention was created to do.

Seemingly positive inventions also carry with them a negative side, specifically that in the process of gaining some ‘convenience’, the user may at some point become so accustomed to that device/contrivance, etc., that they become dependant on it, and the negative side/curse of the invention arises in that the user completely forgets that they once lived without this invention and managed to get along without it, having accomplishing themselves what the invention replaces.

Take phones (both land-lines and cell) for example.  The invention of the phone replaced (or rather duplicated) an ancient human ability (some call it magic power) that we today call Mental Telepathy.  If you ask anyone you see using a cell phone why they don’t just use their own ancient telepathic ability instead, you will most certainly get a response in the form of a question born out of ignorance (“What’s that?”) or disbelief (“That’s nonsense.”) or both.

Another example.  There are some yogis who can live amidst the snows of the Himalayans naked as they were born.  They practice a secret technique of body temperature control similar (or identical) to the Tibetan practice called Tumo, which can keep them warm in even the most severe cold.  Perhaps the rest of us began to wear clothing because at some point in the distant past our ancestors simply forgot how to keep warm as soon as someone wrapped an animal skin around their naked body and noticed its effects—hence the ‘invention’ of clothing.  By this logic, it means that ancient humanity who walked around like ‘savages’ or ‘cavemen’ were in fact more spiritually tuned in to their Source than we are today in that they did not need to resort to clothing as we do in order to keep warm.  Maybe they were not so dumb as we think—after all, they possessed an inner technology, an inner knowledge that we have lost, forgotten in this modern day.  There are many mysteries of the ancient world that modern science cannot answer, mostly due to the currently limited scope of ‘accepted facts’ found within the field of science which always limit the thinking of otherwise intelligent scientists.

Maybe cavemen knew without a doubt they were connected to what we call GOD, and therefore had access to all of the powers of GOD, including how to keep warm, how to procure food with the slightest effort, how to communicate with each other over vast distances.  Perhaps clothing, hunting, telephones and even written language are all deviations from the Divine in that they have caused us to forget our own ability to do such things on our own.

Perhaps in some sense technology itself is meant only for those who have forgotten their Divine origin, i.e., for the spiritually ignorant.

Think about that next time you want to buy some piece of technology which advertisements would have you believe “you just can’t live without”.

“O Captain!  My Captain!”–Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

When a boat is moving through the water, it creates waves that trail away from both sides of the boat in the form of a letter V, with the boat leading at the apex of the V.  If the boat is big enough, moves fast enough, thereby creating a large disturbance in the water, then it is possible for a surfer to follow the boat without using a towrope.  All the surfer need do is surf the large waves on either side of the boat.  In this way, the surfer can follow without actually being physically tied to the leader, which would cause drag and slow the leader down.

This phenomenon also appears with the migration of birds, namely that flocks of birds travel in a aerial formation shaped like the letter ‘V’.  The reason behind this occurrence was explained by a Native American Shaman by the name of Red Elk.  He stated that the bird in the lead position is actually using its strength to make the migration easier for the other birds by cutting thru the air, thereby creating shockwaves in the same manner as the boat just mentioned.  And all the other birds follow along with the leader, trailing away in a ‘V’ formation because that is the shape the shockwaves take in the medium of air, just like the shape revealed by a boat moving through water, except that in air the waves move much quicker since the atmosphere is less dense than water.  Nevertheless, the surfer analogy fits even here.  The Shaman stated that it is easier for the rest of the flock to migrate if they assume this aerial formation which conforms to the natural way the shockwaves flow, essentially meaning the birds trailing away from the leader experience an easier flight, expending less energy, all because they are also surfing along the shockwaves that trail away from the formation leader which sacrifices a bit of its strength for the overall good of the flock.

This same surfing-scenario also occurs when some powerful person, some mover & shaker, is busy with some activity in the world.  They do what is in their will to do, and anyone who wants to follow along merely has to find one of the waves caused by the leader and just surf along to wherever the leader is going.  Naturally, this pattern finds manifestation among spiritual groups.

If the leader is selfish and/or egotistical, rest assured that the voyage will never really end, or else end up in disaster for all.  Those who follow in this leader’s wake will experience all kinds of hell.  Being selfish and therefore unenlightened, the leader is unwise and will eventually end up passing through violent storms in which his wake will get swallowed up by the rough waves of the storm which the foolish leader should have navigated around in the first place.  Being difficult to surf when one cannot easily find the misguided leader’s waves, some followers will undoubtedly fall away in the storms.  Others will do whatever they can to cast a towline to the leader, causing drag and slowing him down.  In such a situation all will lose their way eventually, as the leader is not wise enough to sail around the storms that cause such loss, much less strong enough to pull the others with a towline.  All will soon lose their way.

If the leader is selfless, then rest assured the voyage has a destination and will reach a safe port one day.  All the student has to do is follow along by surfing the waves the leader leaves in his/her wake.  The leader is awake in consciousness and causing a wake, which the student merely has to follow along by staying balanced (the key to surfing) as the wake moves along with the leader.  And being that the spiritual leader is wise enough to avoid storms by sailing around them or even using their energy to propel him faster, fewer students will be lost during the voyage, as the wake will not get lost in a stormy sea.

Is it any wonder why being a sea captain is such a universally prestigious and respected occupation?
