    There.

    Verse 7 

    When you are in the light, what will you do?
    On the day when you were one
    you became two.
    But when you become two, what will you do?

    Verse 22 
    Yeshua said to them,

    When you make the two into one,
    and when you make the inner like the outer
    and the outer like the inner
    and the upper like the lower,
    and when you make male and female into a single one,
    so that the male will not be male nor the female be female,
    when you make eyes in place of an eye,
    a hand in place of a hand,
    a foot in place of a foot,
    an image in place of an image,
    then you will enter the kingdom.


    Pointing instructions.  This is this. Just get it!

    Sorry my quoting kung fu is weak now.

    I think that this quote 
     Jesus said, "This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away. The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive.

    pertains to this passage in 1st corinthians 15 

    12     Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

     13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

     14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

     15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

     16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

     17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

    Mind is the 6th element...always look within. 

    Anger

    Akshobhya body is blue as is the light caused by bodhichitta. 

    Bodhicharayavatara chapter 6 

    Finding its fuel in discontent originating from an undesired event and from an impediment to desired events, anger becomes inflamed and destroys me. Therefore, I shall remove the fuel of that enemy, for that foe has no function other than to harm me

    Good discovery.  The 3 metals/elements are accurately described as mind body and soul, or the triple jewel.  The usage of the triple jewel would imply a higher level of practice where the meditator would be working with people instead of their own personal aggregates. 

     

     

    Peacocks are natures radar stations.  If you look at the geometry of the males plumage you can see that it is a parabolic reflector and the crown is the receiver.

    Even in the quietest moments we strive for this. We are in competition for the single most important thing in our life. At all times it is within our grasp but we are blinded by our culture, our expressions, and our needs. Since it's acquisition is most important in our daily existence we strive for it in all things. It is more than just a momentary high or quick thrill. It is the result of an exhaustive search and eternal competition to be.

    I swear that I have seen the Saturn Astra...I have. Who was the marketing genius that named it that?

    I had been studying the spiritual connection between Oppenheimer and Bose when I came across one of these. I thought that reality had done a cosmic joke because I was thinking about Astra's and such. Oh look there even is a car named as one.

     

    Too many Astra's

     

    Astra Astra Everywhere Astra

    Astra for everyone everywhere.

    Keep watching it! It teaches Ba Gua. The continual movement of the red spot is the very core of a Ba Gua style. The little storms that appear and move within the spherical fluid of the planet's upper atmosphere will reveal changes in the two sets of trigrams.

     

    stirs the cinnabar

    refinement of the elixir takes time.

    The Bat Immortal hitches a ride.

    Rakshasa's consider the pit as they tend their horse.

    Wolf howls in the distance, and the owl does not give a whoot.

    From the Heights of the mountains the work of swords

    As the season grows the frozen intent thaws and rushes towards the sea.

    Sword art flowing down from the mountain through the valley.

    As the water reaches the lowlands farming becomes the use of the water.

    Finally the shore is reached and the art of harmony shows how waves of the mind form

    Is it yours?

     

    In the Kalachakra tantra there are teachings about the stages of pregnancy and clairvoyance. Generally it is thought that the child is more clairvoyant than the mother. This helps to guide the mother to making life affirming choices. You could do some bodhisattva practices and talk with the birth centers in your part of the world. See if you can do some volunteer work.
