  1. forest dwelling ....

    IF SOMEONE .................... designed some kind of wilderness temple ......... made out of local materials ........... would anyone go there to be a "monk" .....? (preferred location - ocean coast ...) could you attract teachers ...? could you design a good activities guide for those who like that, and some independent retreat for those who prefer this? reason for this post : western world lagging in creative spirtitual retreat projects. sort of like the India ashram model. ashrams a plenty. state of mind. places to go and contemplate. so easy so natural. anywhere.

    it might be a good idea to do a stealth post here. it's about the work of robert allen stewart. he has described in depth the processes that take place in incarnating beings, and the levels they incarnate to and what goes on and why they go there and the lessons they learn and what lessons are next, the whole emotional sub stratum of the choice made and the experiences gotten, and the why and how of it. well he does mention something called the Base Soul which is the core identity across all the incarnations. and then he mentions the soul as it enters materiality, takes on, if it "holds" to that form and survives ... a discrete local identity that is linked up to the mind of that time and place, and to the others in the group this soul is born into. this ties into the idea of "am I really free to think all of my own thoughts"? the person likes to think they are ultimately free, of course. to think what you choose to think is a wonderful basis for freedom of identity. but really how free are you. when you take into account that many of your thinkings are remarkably similar to those of many others you have to wonder a bit. so this is the social mind here. it is the me that is also connected to the we and how much is really me there? maybe a %? who knows. the obvious task of the hermit is to sequester herself/ himself so as to achieve and near perfect or ideal comprehension of uniqueness of mind, ownership 100% of her own his own mind. how much of that is possible. with social mind you are always thinking group stuff. like the sports scores and who won and who is in the next game etc. very social. back to RA Stewart. this is deep study of between lives and choices and reasons for incarnating. he spends a lot of ink on the animal kingdom as he feels that all humans have had to grow out of that region before becoming folks. and all the reasons for those incarnations, the lessons learned. the teeth mostly.... in the case of small varmints who unfortunately often became a meal for a bigger animal. seems there is a lot of that stuff, like almost seldom reaching immortality among the smaller varmints on account of the bigger cats and stuff like that. well, about being free to think your own unique thinking, maybe the idea is to move past thinking anyway. thoughts are part of the social mind mix and the ideal practitioner is looking for the formless place, the wordless idealess place where pure stuff stays and sips and sits around and wastes time, that kind of deal. which is why I guess hermits spend all their time doing stuff to become clarified and this has nothing to do with logically pleasing city folks does it now. in their next life where do they go? well one thing they probably know the folks who escort the souls to those places seeing as they get to know why they chose that body and what their task was and what the next tasks are. they say that being helpful is a big part of it. if you practice on your own and try and do magic stuff without helping others much, you're going to be a certain kind of person but not maybe the highest kind there is. hey too much yakking here. enough already. ___________ ps. true priviledge in using net to converse with beings like gerard & zerostao ....

    guo qianzhi <-> (mentored by zheng gong xing ......) daoist masters who helped bring better government to ancient china. but how? how do you just bring in better government? the ways are known. not often discussed in political science courses, at least not undergrad. but graduate level. look out. when someone takes an interest in the ancient chinese arts of statecraft, in particular the celestial teachings on how to manage a country for the benefit of the peoples well being. look out. these ways are known. however they are hidden until the time is right. if they're made public too soon they get scorned. they also have to be put into the hands of those who are capable of doing the job properly. _____________ how does a king become a sagely ruler? "ministers must be trained in the (confucian/ daoist/ celestial) values of loyalty dedication honor humility integrity and honesty. religious organizations must be subject to the laws of the land. education must be founded on character values."

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsL1WdN9uv0 here the image of the annunaki seems incorrect, that would be a grey which are thought to be drone type of beings. the annunaki would be very tall, and have nordic style features. also the bantu folks were said to have resisted the integration... so as to form the different races of the planet ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSkUUi9XZ2E&feature=relmfu _____________ also the ufo's don't turn that way, it's electro-gravitic propulsion which uses a superheavy element as fuel base to produce a gravitational wave for distortion of space-time, to travel. (... negate space) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMBAgwRgNK0&feature=relmfu
  5. I would say those curses are quite all right in a varied perspective, that being the perspective of .... one condition ......... there is plenty of wine present. also the spiritual ambition becomes placed upon some clear paper, the kind you're able to cut and paste and make mashay out of. (mashay because the keyboard does not contain an accent e) then take the paper and make potato man faces from it. then toss over a bridge, and buy more wine.
  6. forest dwelling ....

    this isn't really forest, but 2 years by, I had the great luck to visit some of the great cathedrals of southern england. winchester, salisbury, oxford, and others. these places are full of invisible forces. .......... but forest was there also. that's the secret part of it. _________________ in this age of suddenly expedited knowledge and communications ..... it's possible to explore the classic writings like Gnosticism. for example the ancient conflict ( ... not so much light vs dark but more like nature vs mechanized ... but that's being simplistic) ... where it gets interesting is how the Archons (their name for darkside forces) play their game and set their traps. do you here, anyone ... sense work of the archons in the very traps that you so often encounter in all these metaphysical or spiritual methodologies? there are many and some are more obvious while some are more subtle. well there are plenty of traps out there. to ignore that basic fact would be to just allow them to be in your pathway. (open letter to Tulku ..... using the amazing list feature along with handy italics feature) go on a bender,. get high ... wrap all the spiritual ambition, the one pointed spear sharp focus .. into a ball and toss it off a bridge and rent the most ridiculous comedy video there is, and when you wake up later, don't have coffee , have wine instead, and repeat process until situation improves.) ___________________ john lash does good writing on Gnosticism .... ___________________ you'll find lots of Aeons and Archons depicted in the Old Testament. the Islam includes these in their writings, the Talmud. along with Gospel of Christ the Injeel. Gnosticism contends that the war- being Jahova is a chief Archon. (ie: a big problem) he is an admixed power force with much dark mixed with light. he is born out of the Abrahamic magic, which has its roots in Egyptian magic, an ancient study. he could have been a Jinn. throughtout the OT, the names are interchanged, Jahova, Lord, Elohim .... and so on. ....(who the heck are they all, and do they even care if they are hardly understood, and if not, why not, for such a basic subject, you'd think such carelessness would be an awful expose of their total disregard for people's comprehensions) (rant over) ... but nowhere is God there, because God is the primal formless Source. like Islam says, God has no attributes other than perfection, and is incomprehensible, much like Tao is said to be. once you name it, you've probably missed it ... and perfection does NOT include gratuitous violence, neither does it make RACISM a core of its beliefs. when racism becomes a core belief of your religion, that is, a belief that a certain "race" amongst all peoples is chosen over the others .... and by correlation, all the others are "cattle" .... then you have a serious problem and are well on the way to a complete religious annihilation ... (enter spiritual warfare ..) <link>
  7. forest dwelling ....

    personal light or celestial light? personal self effort, or grace? <link 1> <link 2> there is powerful spiritual war coming up. can't be helped. everyone knows the cusp of ages is ahead. and what is a spirtiual war? well movies like star wars and LOTR gave clues. .... you don't think it could happen close by? you don't think such a conflict has happened before in the past? if you read on magic you know that some magic is misapplied. (ok, a lot of it is misapplied) also when someone gets proprietary magic, they have the CORNER on the market. they own that deal, and they use it to control stuff. like media. like medicine. like education. like business. they use that ownership to shape beliefs. to shape reality in a sense. after several weeks they convince the masses that "romney is the logical choice" ... but wait. didn't they have that scenario picked long in advance? of course. oh yeah, I think that I thunk I knew who ta vote for, but hey, they done took away my candidate and alls I hear is this other fella and they always show the fella with white shiny teeth and all and a plastic porcelain expression and this guys the guy, ya know cause that's all they ever shows ya on the tv or news, and you know I don't hear about my fella no more so maybe that means he ain't they guy, maybe ... maybe that fella's not so bad after all, yep I know, he's a plastic fella for sure but maybe he looks cuter than those other fellas and anyway he's gonna fix the economy, cause that's what he promises and everything ... duhhhhhhhhhhh .................. guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ..... duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ................. and now we return to our other entertainment ..... so come on. is this war? or is it something to ignore, as we muddle about. is someone's reality being shaped here? so how would we fight such a war? do we even know what the adversary looks like? sure we do. but it's blocked out of consciousnes by clever programs. imagine that eh. well one thing I've found out a bit is that spiritual attainment is a pipe dream unless it balances by taking into account the resistance forces to it. there's a lot of talk here about spiritual ambition, but scarecely little about any kind of opposing energy. and you don't suppose there would be an opposing energy that doesn't like spiritual advancement?

  9. The Way of War

    if your 'deity' commands you to kill your own kid, I'd say you have a very serious psychological problem. ________________ (and it's even more serious when abraham actually goes along with it) ....

    Grandfather, the Apache mentor of Tom Brown jr <link> did mention quite a few things. for example, interpreting a creatures track across bare rock seemed to be no problem. the track could describe if it was young or old, male or female, strong or weak, full or hungry, and other stuff, just from the reading of the pressure formations there. on the other hand, a "debris hut" is something definitely on the agenda. JS <link> provides compelling evidence that a certain small mid east country (via its security firm) was primary cause of the catastrophe in northern japan last year. <link> (due to explosive devices installed in the oversized cameras) ... the wave itself is also worthy of proper speculation .... (ie: minimal building damage or sway prior to the arrival of said h2o ....) so this would place the cause for all the subsequent radiation in north america included, on this small mid eastern country .... on its directors (whoever they actually are) .. ... pacific salmon found unsafe? hmmm .... now who's the cause of that, you might ask ... ? hmmm ... looks more & more like a large scale direct attack on most of north america. by who. ________ it would be good to design an ideal contemplation platform for locating in the upper part of a tree ... including the best ladder or way of getting up there ..... my guess right now is something light that is pull- uppable into tree when there, and stashable in shrubbery when away ... (ie: a collapsable, lightweight green colored sturdy ladder ...) designing something like that you need to work with the tree, not injure it ...

    .... a very interesting video < here> ............. I'm especially intrigued by the remarks at the 12:00 mark ...... it's concerning the "abrahamic 'the Lord' " .... which the commentators agree is none other than s****. it has puzzled me long how churches could have a holy book in their pews where there is a "Lord" who orders his followers to go out and destroy good people who did them no harm. and in fact to destroy anyone not like them which is the absolute of depraved nutcase racism. it has to puzzle you how such a vile thing could sit in the churches of the land. ........... edit, instead of posting new .... sometimes think about the sociology of the net. 1) it is an amazing tool. it is magic, brings a world of information to the fingertips and makes discussion posible etc. 2) flip side, it is addictive, it gets folks to spend hours on trivial uses, it presents lots of material world content, the news is slanted as always, and so on. the net has two sides. if you spent lots of time on it without being productive you might find yourself quite depressed. you've been in front of a screen for hours, when you could have been doing a better hobby such as walking outdoors, playing a sport, doing art. so the net has that side to it. 3) how do you deal withn it? well you have to establish a relationship with the net. you have to use discipline. otherwise, energetically you might be losing. 4) the net is an mazing magic tool, and it has that downside of course. mind action, misapplied. it comes down to use of mind- good use of it. net is mind dessert. all thee to distract you. how do you make a solid discipline? .................. I have a lot of websites designed for different stuff. these are like scratch pads, full of images, ideas, copy- pastes... amazing that the net gives such stuff. what it comes down to is so many ideas, that are all abstract. unless turned to action they are just ideas. sociology of the net, and personal discipline on the net. much needed areas of practice. and just when you think the net is good but also a jungle of confusion, it brings you stuff like this ............ hmmmmmm ............... so amazing. humans, have been gifted with a new awesome power tool. it is epochal. if used for the good. it must be governed by strong intentions. it has to because it is a wild horse and will go where the imagination lets it go ..... unless reined in and directed by enlightened purpose. here is a prayer to the Infine God of Heaven ..... to allow us to use the net ---only--- for good redemptive purposes. AUM.

    ......... ........ i like to do my chi kung training outside whenever it is possible. i found a nice place with old oak trees standing in a circle. i often do tree chi kung = energy exchange with these tree. whenever i need a quick shot of energy i get in contact with trees. now, in springtime in western europe, i visit pine trees regularly for example. greetings from the forest .... sirius ____________________ wow the darn post disappeared. aha. impermanence. well it was about magic but there wasn't much strong magic there, mostly complainin as usual. so anyways how about for-real magic like I have a lot of respect for the work done by nicole as discussed in that thread over there. so about this program. well I would want to offer some good relationship technique content, like how to expand and invigorate a relationship and make it work. how to give it a meaning of its own, a purpose where you and partner both have a plan, a long term goal and you want to see it through, and you discuss this goal early on so you both know what you are working towards, mutually, and this gives the relation a lot of magic quality, because now you have a plan to work to realizing it. ____________ so sometimes you're on the net and you read ideas like "what is enlightenment" and you get an idea. so you write it back here where no one sees it. haha. it goes like this -- 1) enlightement to WHOM? (I'd say who but that's owl talk there) I mean, it depends who you ask, it's just a word, so to who/ whom/ whose ? 2) enlightenment WORKS ... like a carrot on a stick .. it pulls folks towards working on their awareness practices. so it can't be so bad, and also it might not be a goal, but more like a phantom victory line where, once you've crossed it, you don't even know it because now you're too busy with other stuff and you forgot about that carrot on a stick. 3) jed mckenna defines it. wow. he sells books. to him, that's big time enlightenment. his definition might not be yours so don't necessarily beleive him on it. .... you also comprehend power held by enemies of mass enlightenment. it must include an acknowledement of the war waged by forces of darkness/ ignorance, and they are not a joke either ... ......ok, do they KNOW they're evil? well <here> he says - I have unconditional love for all J---. HELLO? only them and not humans? what he didn't say there, but firmly believes, is that all all other humans are 'dogs or cattle' (they have a cute word for it - goyim, it means cattle ... nice .... ) not .. . he didn't say this right out because his strategy only allows he discusses it inside his own "group" ... this is the war. this is the darkness. another example looks like terrorism there. oh wait. they seem to control big parts of the western media. uh-oh ..... trouble ..

    what does it signify, this N Cycle? well it's about how power and force is going up the left hand side of the N, and when it reaches what it thinks is the top, it finds out that there is no gate there, only a brick wall of karma. so ... it's really a very long way down again, usually a vertical drop in fact, not sideways like that N, and then they have to start all over again, but this time if they learned the lesson of that fall, it's on the right hand bar of the N, where genuine progress is , as it is based on compassion for other beings, as part and parcel of the whole situation. and above that right vector, is ... a gate way ..... (to the higher worlds) ..... that is why I was reluctant to add to that magic thread. I know stuff that that I don't know, if you get the drift. nearly all magic is on the left side of the N Cycle, as wcv points out by the example of Milarepa the great yogi master who began as a black magician (taught by dark masters) and had to fall all the way to the bottom before he could start back up the right side. (based on his Kagyu lineage) ... song lyric .......... all you black magicians take note. you cannot and will not fool reality. take corrective action now. not later. this is the cusp of ages and is the time to choose quickly. ___________________ well, let's say that all the intell agencies of most every country fully knows now ... (& with part thanks to the work of independant workers like JS .... who, b.t.w. will NOT become a martyr for that same m-ss-d, as too many know ... too late ...) that m-ss-d was responsible for 3-11. .......... so what do you do? the world, should know they worship lucifer, or the D---- as their god. what else is there to say? it is all clearly written in their talmud, or in the old testament. their god teaches war, violence, and eye for an eye tooth for a tooth , strike first, sow fear etc etc ... all things that make a world into a hell. what can anyone say? they are taught that way., that is the being they worship. would "it" (that spirit deamon monster called jahova) have them do any differnt than this? so what do you do? a heck of a lot of reconciliation and re programming into the truth and the light. that is what. but is the planet ready for a job like that? it starts in London. it starts at the offices of the Red Shield (Bauer) banking enterprises. they learned the financial black magic back in the 1700's. (fractional reserve banking etc. risk management to sovereigns ... taught by Jinn. ask the Muslims. they know what Jinn are. riches makers, but terrible masters also. b.t.w. this is high level spiritual history. shhh. the Muslims know lots about that also. ....

    the second link there (Vetsch) is so full of brilliant original material.... you honsestly don't know where to start. it's like a documentary on the matrix movie, except it is saying where the situation is such, with references and examples. this graphic for example, the N Cycle. I have NEVER seen this anywhere before, and when I first grokked it, I knew it was a brilliant construct, so simple and elegant. it was so original. but in fact this fellow's [writing] is full of these genius constructs. the only issue I have is that his final analysis is so distopian, whereas I think that a basic feature of spiritual free will is the actual possibility of ascension to whatever levels are sincerely sought after. and thus, the outcome is very good. paradise no less, if SOUGHT AFTER fully. but ... that is assuming spiritual free will. WCV actually posits and illustrates cases where he finds that blockages occur due to the actual designs / intentions of the darkside forces. in ways that infiltrate the very structures of spiritual organization. picture darth sidious planting traps in theology to keep his empitre under his iron grip. that is the picture that wcv paints .... despite that, he also illustrates the Vectors that he feels are operative in the unseen dimensions. it's too deep for a cursory remark. it needs to be studied well, by serious analysts.
