Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan

according to Edgar Cayce, humans evolved from genetic experiments involving the combining of various animal DNA, and we were originally furry, feathered, tailed, hermaphrodites across teh board.


Further genetic manipulation led the the physiological separation of male and female archetypes.



I desire a return to unity of sex/gender....  but i was sadly not born as such

That which you are is already the idealized one. Just pick already!

...... if i had a choice it would be both.  lol   but i DONT have a choice, so i will do my best to forget ideals.

i know, right?!  XD


You should read my blog entry about TDB. 

I will soon be living on 40 acres of land in Macedon, NY, as long as my PO approves, and it has wetlands, beehives, maples, black walnuts, so the potential for me to create my own such place is ripe. I invited Vanir there to come live out there too, maybe he will find his way out there at some point....I definitely need to nurture and fix some small part of the Earth before I leave....my reparation for all the damage I have caused her...I will be hitting you guys up in the future for tips and advice on things....

And i thank you for extending that invitation...  maybe i will take it up with every intention of coming back home, but i have some psychological sorting to do before i can commit myself to something this critically important......  especially if it means leaving the Pacific Northwest again.

My karma has bitch slapped me EVERY time i have left.   it's telling me not to, ya know?

What songstan said sums up my own feelings.



I am at a similar point in my life where my psychology is rejecting the male/female personoa/biology integration (which i cant even accomplish by any natural means anyways) and demanding an embrace of my own natural masculinity i was born with (path of least resistence TBH).


I had for too long idealized the hermaphrodite perfection of unity and failed to cultivate my natural abilities and talents...



I need to make changes that coincide with my nature, rather than try to achieve an idealized one...  

an eternal pursuit, like perfection... waking up to reality...

When all we look for is war, war is all we see and create.

When all we look for is peace...

 

 

And if you don't see it, look deeper.

And if you look to the very infinite depths of eternity and still cannot find it, it means the time to wage war against all oppositions to peace has begun?

Im not sure it even exists as but a fleeting moment of ignorance.  

Ignorance is said to be bliss, but i find it to be downright disturbing and unaware.

We often hear of the gentle, clam, and or balanced Tao which are fine aspects but we do not often hear of the ferocity of the Tao... a ferocity that is greater and stronger than all others!

 

And in that ferocity the One is born and the One also returns.

Good Gong Fu exemplifies the ferocity of Dao.

Going off into the mountains is such a harsh difficult existence with the danger of starvation, craziness, loneliness, disease and injury that if you need an outside force to convince you to do it.  You definitely should not. 

AS OPPOSED TO CIVIL SOCIETY?!?  WTF ARE YOU ON ABOUT?!?

I am worse for the wear for having NOT had the opportunities to learn to survive in teh wilderness.  im ready to flip my shit for good.

well i tried yesterday, but my time limit ran up unexpectedly when i thought i had a whole hour left...  now im on my last 30 min of library internet...  i'll give it another shot, but im just lurking i guess

yeah basically.



believe what you want, really, but *"if"* there is a supreme authority/being/god, then it cannot be a separate entity from all of reality, therefore yes, we are all essentially "fallen angels" or "infant gods" coming into being.


Not just me, im merely acting like its true, instead of just thinking it is

i'll see if i cant spend an hour in there chatting!

Your narcissism pales in comparison to my god complex!

mind between the two:
Infinite all and nothing
Mind is the fulcrum

The question is who is really there other than a chain of thoughts, sensations and so on compounded to a person?

 

So no right, no wrong, life happens spontaneously with no controllers at all.

 

Highest example is a conceptual designation of activity marked by the mind as 'good'.

The infinite omnitude of infinity is never "other than" or "just such".

"stealthing" is when you consume something from the bottle without ever touching the bottle to your lips or saliva.


Stealth drinking.

I cant answer that question, because i'm not at that level to be frank with you. 

  i know, 'salllll good haha

 

It basically escaping continual rebirth. becoming one with the universe. you are the universe. 

Ascension is entering into "shared knowledge" through merging. 

 

"Escaping" is a bit harsh and inappropriate...  All are one with the universe, and you're not all wrong there, but it's a little more subtle than becoming what you already are.  becoming aware and actualizing what you are - ACTING on it as frankly and aloofly as you might breathe. "Shared knowledge" is immaginary (not to say nonexistant or ineffective).

 

 

One utilizes the universal body to be in less of a bind.

read as: loosening the shackles...? perhaps?

 

 

 

The more expanded one is the less of a bind they are in. The more control. 

"control" is again a bit harsh and less appropriate, but not inappropriate either.  "personal power security..."

 

There is a teaching on this similar to the last one i posted if you read it. But it is in a publication so i dont want to keep posting them. But 

but...?

I think you're well along the right path in all this, however.

Just keep observing the universe observing itself through itself as itself, etc. 

You'd be amazed at what the subconscious loses track of...!

it seems my own point was overlooked, but i will try to say it literally:

It's not about being "awakened" or being a teacher, but about setting forth a correct and righteous example of life's unobtrusive maintenance.

Much like working with children, you also must learn to exemplify and appreciate the good and right examples while borderline ignoring the bad ones and avoid even acknowledging them by mention and help drive focus toward the positive and beneficial ways of behaving.

There is a right and wrong way to do all things and this has no regard on correct or incorrect.

The correct way to rocket to the moon is in no way bearing the "right" way - as it is inherently wrong to rocket to the moon, given the level of necessity that it be done.



Necessity is the majority objective measurment of right and wrong.

Right is always and/or only necessary and there are correct and incorrect ways of exemplifying righteousness.

Wrongfulness, however, is the majority leading example, and the majority, in their stupidity and ignorance, want ought keep it that way, shun and even squelch righteous examples...

There are many "correct" ways of doing wrongful things, and the focus is mutated from right and wrong to correct and incorrect, while using the titles of right and wrong to describe your relation to the acts.

Suddenly it becomes "wrong" (read as incorrect, spoken as "wrong") to take food without paying for it, and the "right" (read as correct, spoken as "right") thing to do is "earn" money to "pay" for your sustinence.

When the whole of that scenario is in and of itself inherently wrongful, but the model of power derrives from the misleading verbiage of the exchange that in order to retain a wrongful (and inherently thusly harmful) way of life, is to subconsciously convince people that it is "right".

This is largely accomplished by misinterpreting the definitions of such words as, but  not limited to: "right and correct" , "wrong and incorrect", and "ignorant and stupid".


Exemplifying correct righteousness is what makes for spiritual.
Exemplification makes for teaching, correct righteousness makes for spirit.

i think something different happens if one is able to become one with the universe. 

 

A master told me that when people die they go through processes to gain a new body, However, the universe itself is also a body, so those who become one are able to utilize the universal body. 

This is an interesting thought you've stumbled upon:

What "use" does the "universal body" have for an individual within the universal body?

How and WHY does one "utilize the universal body"?

So say you're a maths teacher at high school. Your students all know the basic arithmetic that we use in everyday life already. You're now teaching them the higher stuff: algebra, geometry, calculus. This is the stuff that is needed in specific careers like computer science, statistics, aeronautics.

 

So you, the teacher are teaching them in the hope that they do what you are NOT doing. You wish them to apply it outside of the classroom in the world of science and technology.

 

How does it go with the spiritual teacher? Is the person who spends all their time teaching the highest example? Or are there higher practitioners who are the one time pupils and the justification for the teacher' s life spent in teaching?

 

Are any of us encountering clearly awakened individuals who themselves aren't teaching, but doing other activities?

 

Thanks for your views on this!

In a sense, you miss the entire point of spirituality in your very premise; to compare spirit to mundane is to compare red dwarf stars to the wsensation of finishing level 3-4 in super mario bros.  ...

But in the parameters of your inquiry: the very act of exemplifying a spiritual virtue is in and of itself a spiritual application and the very act of teaching is a high example, indeed, but there is no "highest" in infinity, only ascending, stagnating, and declining. there is a fourth state for those who pursue the omnitude of infinity.

gracious are the clouds;
free floating forms in transit:
Yet they reap all things.

The world is never enough...

We are god(s); the universe creating itself, experiencing itself through itself.


There is no "enough", only infinity.

Disagree. We all have preprogrammed tendencies; knee jerk reactions learned from society, friends, families, etc. Only a few can actually break through those tendencies and choose freely. These are the Buddhas. I have never met one. However, I don't say that Deci Belle didn't freely choose, knowing she'd be kicked off- she probably did. I am not contending that, just contending the system that made it possible for the exile. Its purely selfish of me really. I'm just trying to influence things here because I am attached to them being my way and I freely admit it. That's free will!

it's merely a matter of willingness to go the distance.

How willing are you to weild free will?!?  XD LOL!!!

I may or may not be a Buddha, ask my teachers. but i DO have free will. everything learned can also be unlearned. you just have to make a choice and accept the it's consequences.

the only standard that makes us all born equal is free will. the only standard on which one can judge many is free will.


What do you do with your free will?
What abuses will lose respect, what philanthropic acts will gain respect?

The belief that we have free will and the power to make conscious and consenting decisions is what makes us unique and equal at the same time.

now i am feeling a popcorn craving...
