The Breath of Siddhartha, Jesus, and Mohammed

8/30/2015

Last night, I was thinking of fellow spiritual colleagues and their adventurous travels to mystical lands. At first, I thought it was odd and egotistical hearing "I've been to this sacred land" and "I've studied with this guru". Basically, it lacked depth. I started getting flashbacks to the film Eat, Pray, Love, that took me over three sessions to complete and left me thinking, "whatever".  Are these individuals looking for something deeper within themselves, or are they simply looking for a path distinct from the time driven socio-economic structure we're all born into? Simply, are they searching for another lifestyle not rooted in stressful competition to support our desire for incessant consumption. I couldn't help but remember a comedic yoga video found online representing the current state of the western commodity based exercise program. 
In this assessment, I realized my own arrogance. I would love to have the mystical pilgrimages to foreign lands, sitting at the feet of enlightened gurus in India, getting lost in the bliss that is the Temple of Dendera, climbing through the terrain that is Machu Picchu. Moreover, there's not much difference between studying the works of Yoganada-ji, the Hathors, or following the adventures of Drunvalo Melchizedek and David Hatcher Childress. So, using my initial negative assessment as a mirror, what was it that I was attempting to reflect back to myself?
In truth, most of us appear to be remedial with enlightenment. We're still trying to figure out who we are. Definitions of a simple creation or an evolution doesn't quite appeal to understanding the soul, especially when the mystics teach of a much closer link to God. That's my interest in treading a spiritual path. But even after all these years of studying, if anything, I feel I may be still  just scratching the surface with my limited understanding and possible experience with the "I Am" presence.  But, what would separate me from the average seeker who searches the world for mystical truth/experiences? How do I place myself among the ranks of our highly cherished gurus and masters that we honor in each of our societies?
Aleister Crowley appears to ask the same question in his work Mysticism, where he compares three individuals dominating our collective spiritual intellect: Siddhartha (Buddha), Mohammed, and Christ. In common, each individual had "disappeared" only to return with insight. Siddhartha left for the forest, Mohamed left for the desert cave, and Christ had solitude of the desert. Crowley further addresses that even in indigenous populations, an average individual will often leave the village for the wild, and return as a great medicine man. From all these individuals, only Siddhartha recounts his steps and practices of what occurred in solitude. Another words, what really occurred, aside from their teachings, that caused the awakening of these individuals and can we do the same? 
Picture
Crowley further addresses the precincts of yoga where he expounds his extreme methods of practice. Extreme being in addition to the traditional postures, breathing, etc., he would cut himself every time a thought arose. However, more akin to what may have been the above masters setting, one of the major keys appears to be limiting all possible stimuli creating a fortress of solitude. As Crowley suggests, "the greatest intelligence is shown by those of solitary habits". 
It is by freeing the mind from external influences, whether casual or emotional, that it obtains power to see somewhat of the truth of things. -Aleister Crowley, Mysticism (Book Four).
Picture
Going back to my logical dreamings of last night, I pictured Mohammed in a cave prior to his collaboration with Gabriel. In the cave, I saw nothing more than rock surroundings and a sunlit entrance. Then I pictured Christ fasting for forty days and forty nights. I was immersed in the sandy sunlit desert with no other stimulus. I really attempted to immerse myself in these fantasies like Einstein in his imagined laboratories. I would quickly become bored by the changeless surroundings leaving me to my thoughts. However, when seeking answers, we must first pose a question and then listen in the stillness of mental silence for the answer to what we seek. 
I found myself psychologically struggling with this idea of extreme solitude. In fact, I was getting imaginary flashes of being stuck in a straight jacket in an empty white walled room. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. You're faced with the predicament of exploring the only avenue that you have, your self. As an introvert who needs space, solitude, and room to thrive, I know how easy it can be for the negative ego to begin to tear you away. In the western world of accomplishments, where yang energy of "do this, do that" dominates over its feminine counterpart, one can easily get distracted by what one thinks is a "purpose" in our lives. Taking, not a moment, but a sabbatical of reflection can easily lead to guilt of not doing. Even in considering the doing, all kinds of limiting beliefs may arise, including not being good enough, fear of the unknown, etc., among the plethora of sensations that make us feel human. By saying human, I'm not alluding to a positive quality, but qualities that appear to afflict each and every one of us. Again, I can only compare this to being in a straight jacket fighting with oneself. 
However, with the lack of stimuli, no goals for the future and the past being simply the past, what are you left with other than your breath. This also appears to be the only solution to the straight jacket scenario, accept, relax, and surrender (Assuming you're not Houdini). In relaxing, your breath becomes deeper and more calm, associated with your natural state of being. You're no longer irritating yourself fighting the jacket and are forced to deal and understand your predicament. Therefore, it appears that it was in the depths of their own consciousness once cleared of time (past experiences, future goals), cleared of all logical impressions of the moment, did Siddhartha, Christ, and Mohammed prevail leaving them only with their breath. 
Picture
In summation, we often find ourselves grasping for something beyond our self, such as a mystical adventure, a guru, a secret mantra, and they are valuable tools in their own right and have furthered my own discovery. However, in the light of the three masters above, greatness seems to be achieved by diving into the depths of oneself, dealing with ones psychology, and closing our senses to the objective world and subjective interpretations thereof. Only then does it appear that we become the subject of idolatry among men worthy of espousing illumination. For which, only then does the seeker become that which is seeked. 
They'll go to sacred sites.
Yeah, and on pilgrimages.
They'll read books.
They'll look to other people.
But in the simplicity of each breath, it's occurring right under their noses!

Before "Law of Attraction", Know "I am That"!

8/23/2015

0 Comments

 
Like most, my formal introduction to the Law of Attraction ("LOA") was the film The Secret. I may have come across the concept prior, but it was not separated and labelled into its own topic. My studies forward in numerous topics from business/self help to spirituality seemed to add more to my understanding. Overall, the LOA was where the Siva Sutras would meet the Think and Grow Rich. Nonetheless, The Secret left much to be discovered. The film is essentially a pamphlet for a study on a topic, which seems to carry a lifetime of coursework.  
Whether you're intelligible or ignorant about the LOA, it's there and you can't do away with it. It begins with "who you are", which is your "I Am" presence. Yes, the new age movement is big on the "I Am That" presence, pointing to the Biblical "I am that, I am" title presented to Moses by the burning bush. But, the "I Am That" concept is deeply rooted in ancient teachings, and eloquently described under the Siva Sutras and the Qabbalah for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. 
Picture
                                                           1. Your "I" Presence

The Siva Sutras are an important Saivite
text, expounding on the Advaita Vedantic concept of non-duality. Under non-duality, there is only one thing that is true, which is the "I". That "I" is defined as consciousness or the "All That Is" definition of God. When this "I" becomes separated into duality, we're presented with the idea of "this and/or that", but fail to see "this and/or that" as one and the same as it is consciousness. This failure to see "this and/or that" as one and the same is the game of this illusion, it is presented as our experience as that is what our soul is seeking. Ignorance of of seeing everything as "I" is duality. As I see it, the ensuing suffering from this illusion of separation is our original sin. Hence, contrary to modern Christian dogma, original sin is not the unification of polar opposites, but the "belief" that we are separate. (I believe the gnostics/qabbalists would address original sin as spirit being lost in matter.) 
Under the qabbalist tree of life, this "I" non-dual presence maybe akin to Kether, which sits as the crown of the tree of life. Kether can be seen as pure potential or consciousness, where seeking Kether is essentially seeking union with God. Kether consists of "All That Is", the "this and/or that", where Kether is neither "this or that" but it is "this or that". As an example, Kether is neither male or female, but carries masculine and feminine within itself, which is further expressed in the supernal-triad including the masculine Chokmah and feminine Binah. 
Picture
                                                       2. Your "I Am" Presence

Eastern spirituality has stressed enlightenment or the search of discovering the source of our soul. Leading to different yogic ("yoke" - to bind) techniques including mindfulness where you separate the observer from the observed and simply remain as a watcher in the observation. As you remain and be the watcher, you come to grasp a simpleness where you do not place meaning, purposes, beliefs, etc., in the observed or the observation. In this state, you are no longer your ego identity composed of your name, profession, your past, etc. You are simply the watcher, or you simply "Am" being. 
Picture
In the state of simply being "Am", you may recognize that you are so much more than the illusory ego play but consciousness. Recognizing this, you come to the realization of "I Am". "I Am" is simply Self-recognition or as eastern mystics and the Siva Sutras will state, "Self-awareness". With "I" defined as consciousness or God, "I Am" is self-recognition of the God within, the Higher Self, your Soul. The Siva Sutras point to the "I Am" presence as simply Siva, not just as an objective third-party, but an obtainable state of awareness/being. This state of being is called Turiya, or the "witnessing consciousness" which is the central self. 
Under the qabbalist supernal-triad, the "I Am" presence would be the masculine Chokmah. Here, Chokmah takes the infinite possibilities of Kether, and brings wisdom to formulate a plan for our existence. This would be our Higher Self, our Soul, the Watcher. However, such awareness is not appreciated until it becomes existence through feminine creation, which is found in the "That" presence. 
                                                       3. Your "I Am That" Presence

Lastly, we have the feminine presence of "That". Linguistically, it is our creations and attachments to "this and that", the object of observation. It is the "I am male", "I am an attorney", and "I am ethnically Indian", etc. It is also things that we bring into our presence, better yet, things that we bring to our awareness. It is your emotional body which is your resonating frequency, "I am happy", "I am fearful, "I am loving", etc. "That" is manifestation of our creation.  
As expressed in the fourth sutra of the Siva Sutras, the powers of creation are embedded in the alphabet of ancient Sanskrit. Known as the Matrkas, or unknown mothers, they are known to carry unknown creative abilities through the power of sound. Hence, the power inherit in mantras, such as Aum. 
Furthermore, as commentator Jaideva Singh elaborates on the Sanskrit alphabet, "from a to ksa the mother of the entire universe is the presiding deity". It is unknown whether the author was alluding to the akashic record, but it seems that our records and experiences may only be a manipulation of sound as expressed through the alphabet. Think vibration of an atom under wave particle theory. 

Hence, "that" is viewed as the feminine, which is the illusion of our reality as expressed as maya and the ability to manipulate such through sound or frequency. What we apply in our lives as "that" carries weight in the reality we choose to experience. 
Picture
As alluded to above, the feminine sephirot of Binah in the qabbalist tree of life best suits the "that" presence. It is through her that we are aware of creation manifest, and with Chokmah do we see co-creative powers working together to create an experience that will give our Higher Self "understanding". It is through her that we can express our own creative and attractive abilities. 
Tune yourself with the creative power of Spirit. You will be in contact with the Infinite Intelligence that is able to guide you and to solve all problems. Power from the dynamic Source of your being will flow uninterruptedly so that you will be able to perform creatively in any sphere of activity. -Parmahansa Yogananda, Where There Is Light. 
                                                                                       Conclude

Like most who gave up on The Secret after creating vision boards, using positive affirmations, there appears to be steps to properly enact and manage the LOA. Before the tools, techniques, we need to redefine who we are from what we have been led to believe. Akin to chakra clearing, our limiting beliefs get in the way and take over our manifestations. Provided that we are created in God's image, we should hold some God qualities including creative/attractive talents. Our God link, "I Am" presence, is important to tackle any limiting beliefs we hold that get in the way of the reality we truly wish to experience. Hence, before we even get to the techniques, we may simply need to realize the power of who we are as part of the "I Am That" presence.

My Dance With The Goddess

8/20/2015

0 Comments

 
The divine Sophia I have loved and sought since my youth; I have desired her to be my spouse. Ever have I loved her beautiful, radiant form." - Giordano Bruno
Raised in a Hindu home, the Goddess was always present, but her importance was subtle. At a young age, my imagination would drift into ancient lands playing in the arena of either the Mahabharat or Ramayan, they typical male "hero's journey". I would find bliss in whatever mythological adventure my imagination would invoke. Then, an Indian Guru stepped into my budding youth named Gopeshwari Devi aka Didi Ji. My lack of Hindi left much to discovery. But what I gathered was that her choice of divinity was Radha in the Radha/Krishna lila(dance). Her passion fueled a desire to better understand the feminine archetype at a time where it had appeared that the Goddess was simply a consort.   
Thereafter came Dr. Ol Doinyo Laetoli le Baaba aka Kali Baaba. Still a prepubescent, my older relatives brought this well versed/traveled mystic into our home, where he expanded the idea of the feminine through Kali. As her famous image portrays, the image of Kali over Shiva taps into the psyche with dominance over the male counterpart, something incomprehensible in the Radha/Krishna play. I was enamored with the image, not in the dominance sense, but as if She was resurrecting Him. It's through Kali's image that the power of Shakti prevailed, where I feel that limiting God to one gender is basically, limiting God. Unlike other female deities in the Hindu pantheon with dominant male companions, including Durga who was still created and further supported by the weapons of her male creators, Kali appears to outright challenge her consort with equal (if not superior) power. 

At Kali's arrival, I was still in Protestant Elementary School. To note a fellow associate's assessment, "if you weren't Christian, you were persecuted at this school". For the life of me, I could not accept the lack of the feminine in their inculturation. Unlike Catholicism, the divine Mother archetype is significantly reduced, and her importance is left solely to being a baking oven. It wasn't until Catholic High School that I regained a respect for Christianity. The nuns embodied the feminine showing a compassion for other religions expressing we're all worshiping the one, as well as supporting romantic inclinations between Palestinian and Israeli citizens fueling the need for love in a society filled with hate, akin to Romeo and Juliet.  

As time proceeded, Mother Mary fit in perfectly and was often a supplement to other feminine archetypes such as Quan Yin and Tonatzin (Catholicism attempted to usurp both). But the dark Goddess kept her intrigue and always carried a place on my altar. Flash forward to a little over 10 years with my credential schooling behind me, I had the time again to revisit my Dark Goddess where little did I know, she would take me through an adventure into the realm of the Feminine Archetypes.

Flash forward to a little over 10 years with my credential schooling behind me, I had the time again to revisit my Dark Goddess where little did I know, she would take me through an adventure into the realm of the Feminine Archetypes. 
In returning to a regular meditation routine, one mantra made Her way into my life making me psychological re-live my past. Such was done to clear my emotional body as She takes you to the root of your psychological limitations. As expressed in the Siva Sutras, 2:1, "[b]y intensive awareness of one's identity with the Highest Reality enshrined in a mantra and thus becoming identical with that Reality the mind itself becomes free." In other words, a mantra is a tool that when used with intense awareness with your identity molding with the highest identity in that mantra, your identities unite. It was in reading one of Shambhavi Lorain Chopra's work that I came across the Kali mantra scripted below. It was only after practicing this for over a month that I read about the potential dangers of said mantra. But, I was already a month into the practice, so why turn back?
Aum hrim shrim kilm adya kalika param Eshwari svaha
Aum and salutations to she who is the first one, dark within her own reality, the supreme primordial feminine, who cuts through illusion to the absolute truth of existence.
Picture
Coming out of such emotional issues, the Dark Goddess takes on a much more "calming" form. It's only when she clears our attachments/addictions do we fear Her since we don't want to lose certain ego-ic belongings. We're essentially diving into our shadow sides where we hide our negative ego and its limiting belief system. The mantra above is said to clear your life for a quick and direct spiritual evolution, potentially sending shock into your life. Perfect in the mantra for Kali, where the bloodthirsty Goddess swims in your shadow self cutting your limiting addictions.  
The Dark Goddess, who is the embodiment of the dark phase of the moon's cycle, was thus honored for her role in presiding over the mysteries and initiations of the intermediary passage between death and rebirth. - Demetra George, Mysteries of the Dark Moon (cited in Siobhan Houston's "Invoking Mary Magdelene"). 
Picture
On this journey, another feminine archetype made her way into my life. It was as if she was continually knocking at my door and refusing to leave. She carried a one sentence "shot out" in a Drunvalo Melchizedek book, but stayed on my mind until I researched Her months later. These feminine archetypes are associated with the Isis Neter "Hator". In researching her, she left a strong sense of calm and peace that I can only describe as an enhanced form of love. In my meditations, this archetype definitely increases my dopamine levels to new frontiers. One can take it as that, simply the power of imagination. Nonetheless, I couldn't seem to figure out how such a calming energy can envelope my being when I had been doing the fiery dance with Kali (as what her mantra feels like). It was only in looking into her history that I discovered her personality of Sekhmet, a bloodthirsty warrior archetype. That makes sense. The feminine is ever changing in her cyclical nature, hence, her connection to the Moon.
Further, another feminine archetype gently presented herself, quite possible the most misunderstood figure in our written history. The gentle and magnificent Mary Magdalene carries a romantic quality. Initially, found through Tom Kenyon's work with both the Hathors and Mary Magdelene, it was researching inner alchemy (not Mary Magdalene) that I stumbled onto Her. The law of attraction at play, I appeared to attract/be attracted to different material all expressing an intimate divine feminine. As an example, I also attracted Vladimir Megre's work in the "Ringing Cedar Series", expressing a divine intimate feminine. Even more intense, invoking Her imagery while meditating brings a rush of different feelings from gut-wrenching heartbreak over the Crucifixion to the extreme love She had for Her beloved, akin to the intoxication Radha had for her beloved Krishna. 

Tom Kenyon's work, among any other Nicene Creed alternative, points to an exalted Mary Magdelene. In some, She is either an initiate of the Temple of Isis, or the Goddess Isis Herself. Much as Isis resurrected Osiris, it is presented that Mary Magdelene's work with Her beloved assisted in His light body resurrection. Often expressed as Sacred Relationship, inner alchemy dictates the "as within, so without", or the unification of the ida and pingala. Hence, in looking for an external Goddess, in whatever form She presented Herself, she always appeared to say that what I look for is within. Although, She is readily apparent for assistance.

Mary, thou blessed one, whom I will perfect in all mysteries of those of the height, discourse in openness, thou, whose heart is raised in the kingdom of heaven more than all thy brethren. -Jesus, Pistis Sophia (Book 1, Chapter 17)
It's interesting that my work with the Dark Goddess had lead me back to Christianity. Predominately to a figure that is the symbol of western feminine degradation. Like the Moon, the Goddess shows us her many faces as she wanes and waxes, but she is still ever presently the Moon. When I see pictures of Kali's foot penetrating into the limp Shiva, I see the intimate feminine simply waking her lover up from his sacrifice. The Gnostics referred to Her as Christ the Sophia with her beloved as Christ the Logos. She is the one who anointed Her beloved from Her alabaster jar. She was the one purged of Her seven (7) demons. Luke 8:1-3. Her return to prominence would be the imminent awakening of the Western world of a long lost love. Such has begun with the popularity of certain material, including the "Da Vinci Code". However, She is so much more than a bloodline or a disciple, do I dare say the equivalent of Her beloved.

Biological Enlightenment; Phase One (Pooping)

8/3/2015

0 Comments

 
I was recently asked if there were any supplements to awaken the third eye. The third eye composed of the pineal gland and pituitary, there is some information out there on the web. However, I'm not sure that there is a supplement to fully awaken the third eye, a quick fix that is the custom in the West. I feel that we're all going through the awakening process. Apparently we're ascending into the 5th dimension, as discussed by new agers, astrologers, and channelers. The planets are doing some major pulls (Grahas) to get us where we need to be, and the Sun quite possibly charging up our DNA. But, imagine a simple pill to awakening your third eye. Like in the Matrix, you can either take the red pill or the blue pill. One keeps you in the illusion, the other may awaken you to your own personal Neo (Higher Self?). 
Picture
Even before we get to the pineal gland, we should look at our other chakras. Actually, we need to learn to feel our chakras first. Well, at least that was needed for me. If we're going to take an active approach to "enlightenment" as opposed to going with the pull of our cosmos, there may be quite a bit of ego/karmic work that we need to do or release. There may be an easier, simpler solution. However, my love for the ancients has me searching their footprints and diving into their obstacles. As their memories are programmed into our DNA, our Ancestors are our biggest supporters in releasing our shared attachments. Of course, I will take a simpler route if found. But in the mean time, where do we begin?
Now, I'm not claiming to be enlightened like the masters, but sharing information has triggered some interest. I mean that's what we all should be doing, sharing our stories and experiences and helping one another ascend! So maybe I can put my two cents on the global web and at least it will be a historical anchor point to pinpoint my presence in this ever present moment.  
Just going straight to the pineal gland seems like it would be painful. I would recommend the Taoist Qi Gong technique of beginning with focusing on the lower dan tien, your breathe, and a gentle pubococcygeus muscle pull on exhale. (Check out Embryonic Breathing, by Yang Jwing-Ming; my style quickly explained is different from the book; note that the muscle pull is typically veiled with secrecy, so study before attempt). This was the first meditation technique that seemed to have an immediate effect with tingling sensations in my temples. Of course, begin with relaxing your body, including: stretches; massages; and visualization relaxation techniques.  Now, I had no idea what the tingling sensations were, but it wasn't bothersome. It wasn't until my discovery of the channeler Lazaris one year later, that I was finally explained the merits of this particular sensitivity. Basically, it's chi flowing between my temples, a good thing I continually hope.
Picture
Picture
The lower dan tien meditation is simple, but  a powerful technique. I originally believed the area was the same as the sacral. But, after becoming sensitive to chi movement, I feel that it's best kept separate. It's basically an endless tub that you can store your chi without any issues, as opposed to your heart and head that can create tension. Nonetheless, this area of the body seems to be unusual, particularly due to its ability to charge up your chi. (Subtle way of hinting at hormones). Most people and books will tell you that the sacral area is your creative center, very few will tell you that this is where the "occult" abilities lie. For haven't you ever had a "gut feeling"? Obviously a reference to our intuition, there seems to be something about our lower gut that may be important not only to our health, but our spirituality. 
As I dived into health/fitness back in 2013, I began taking fiber to help digest the protein shakes and whatever cheat meal I would constantly indulge. As I found, just a few grams of fiber (3-5 grams) can make a significant difference. Higher fiber intake, like 10 grams, is miracle poop. Yes, I said "miracle poop". Interesting to note is that I found Yang Jwing-Ming's work through fitness guru Eliott Hulse, the "breathe into your balls" guy. So even with studying fitness, spirituality was synchronistic-ally  still smacking me in the face. Anyways, I thought fiber would become an everyday supplement, since I wasn't trying to go back to the olden ways of defecating.  But as we consistently search, what we search for is consitently searching for us as well, via way of law of attraction. 
I found the next gut supplement through Swami Nithyananda's youtube video "increase your oxygen by 300%". Nithyanandaji's wisdom runs deep, and I'm not just saying that since I'm privy to Savla v. Nithyananda Foundation for his defense, but I'm blown away by his ability to interpret scriptures. (I bring this up because my blog is not the forum to debunk him). In further researching the supplement he endorsed, expecting it to be hidden in India or something, I found it on the market as an ayurvedic supplement known as Triphala. Fiber, probiotics (Kombucha form), and super digestive enzymes all have their benefits, but Triphala really made my gut feel "lighter". For isn't that a part of  "enlightenment", to "lighten up", or should I say release some density. 
Of all the vital organs in the body, the one that suffers the most abuse from modern dietary habits is the colon. Our colons were intended by nature to function as smoothly flowing sewer systems, in order to promptly flush digestive wastes from the body. Instead, they have become stagnant cesspools, the physiological equivalent to a festering pile of uncollected garbage or a broken toilet that continues to be used for defecation. The average American male colon today carries within it about 5 pounds of putrid, half-digested red meat, plus another 5-10 pounds of foul toxic waste impacted for years in the folds of the colon with mucus. -Daniel P. Reid, The Tao of Health, Sex, & Longevity. 
In the Orient, Breathing is regarded as a Science. -Daniel P. Reid, The Tao of Health, Sex, & Longevity. 
Like most herbs, it takes some time to take effect. But could the lighter gut through Nithyanandaji's endorsed supplement be a catalyst to further awakening? I found that there's much more oxygen movement downward through my breathe, you know, "breathing into my balls". The lower density in the lower gut meant more sensitivity, and more sensitivity lets me know what's going on in my lower dan tien. Once the lower dan tien is charged up, let's just say the meditation sensations of moving tingling sensations around your body get interesting. More tingling in the head, jolts up your spine, and focus in clarity seems to increase. The lower dan tien is your pranic body's energetic gas tank, and who knows how far you can go on a full tank. . 
Hence, before we even get to the third eye, detoxing may be best. An open third eye can lead to fear without a proper self cleansing. I've found that our attachments (Karma: things that psychologically/emotionally poke us), are embedded in our chakras, mostly in our lower ones. Moreover, macabre entities are usually depicted as parasites feeding off of our destructive emotions. Do we really want to see all of this after opening our third eye? I'd know I'd crap my pants seeing some gruesome beings, if I wasn't on Triphala.
