Since all is one, and we are all it, there is no one else here and we are completely alone. We are governed by karma because there is no one else here, all energy directed outwards can only go inwards. There is no true "outer", all is within. You have no inherent existence. Neither do I. We are just a oneness. That oneness came from nothing and will return to nothing. This is all impermanent. Our perceptions are false, our perspectives are illusory. A table exists but our perspective of viewing it is false information translated by our senses from electrical signals to our consciousness. Every thought exists. So what happens if you think of a deity? This is secret information, most will not understand the extreme implications it conveys. These things are often hidden in plain sight.

In the post-meditation phase, one should focus one-pointedly and undistractedly on whatever one sees, good or bad, with mindfulness and awareness. In this way, one knows what one is seeing. Normally we're not aware of what we're seeing, because our mind is distracted.

We should maintain mindfulness and awareness so that we are able to look without distraction at whatever appears to us in daily life. If the mind is distracted, we will simply be wandering in delusion; one delusory state will follow another, and our mind will have no clarity. If the mind is focused on visual images, we will have stability. There is also the practice of focusing the mind on sounds. Whatever sounds appear, whether pleasant or unpleasant, focus the mind on them with mindfulness and awareness, without falling into distraction.

Focus on the visual images that appear to the eyes, the sounds heard with the ears, the smells perceived by the nose, the tastes apprehended by the tongue, and whatever sensations of touch are experienced by the body. In short, all sensory perceptions are an object of focus for one's meditation. Thus, in a relaxed state of mind, focus one-pointedly with mindfulness and awareness on the five objects of perception. This is the postmeditation practice. Doing this practice will benefit your meditation during the sessions, while resting in the meditation session will also benefit your post-meditation practice.

Jamgon Kongtrul addresses this point in his text Creation and Completion, asking, "Can one habituate oneself to a state of meditation only through periodic meditation practice?" He answers, "No, one cannot." He says that although periodic meditation practice is beneficial, one cannot habituate oneself to the state of meditation through that alone. One needs to have a continuity of mindfulness and awareness. Meditation sessions alone will not work; one needs to cultivate mindfulness in the postmeditation state. Then one will develop stability in meditation.

From my perspective the hardest thing about introducing this stuff to people is that if I give you everything it would be like trying to explain physics to a person who has never learned basic math: Not only would it be overwhelming it would read like gibberish. There is a lot of vocabulary to learn, a lot of new ideas, strange concepts, and meditations to explore.

What I've tried to do instead is post the least complex practices, such as Inner Fire and Mahamudra. The other visualization systems tend to be extremely complex and time consuming. No empowerment is needed to practice Inner Fire. There is an empowerment for Mahamudra but it's easily obtained if a person wants to find it. You can even get it done through a livestream.

I do not have any idea how an empowerment into a deity from another tradition would work. You would have to find someone who had that empowerment, and that does not exist as far as I know. Maybe the Gnostics have something like that. In Buddhism the deities aren't worshipped, they are used as tools. Connecting with them unlocks the enlightened parts of your mind. In theory it is entirely possible to connect directly to Jesus Christ like this, regardless of whether Jesus was an historical figure or not, because you are connecting to that internal thought-form. It would need to be a completely benevolent thought-form, incapable of inflicting even the slightest accidental harm and fully aware of emptiness/impermanence etc to be considered enlightened from a Buddhist standpoint.

The empowerment is needed to prepare your mind for the path. Like primer for paint, it establishes the proper foundation for further growth. It is not optional. As Westerners we're used to religions that cater to our convenience and sense of equality, everyone can join. This isn't like that. Everyone is welcome to try but most won't commit and it requires actual effort, finding a compatible teacher, taking vows, learning to be extremely humble, etc. The stuff I've posted is meant to be helpful even to people who won't make that effort or commitment. People who want to explore the entire path require a teacher. You don't want to learn to access your subconscious mind and screw something up in there. That would be a very harsh way of learning humility. Inner Fire meditation, used carelessly, can be harmful in this way, as I mentioned in it's description. You are connecting directly to your body's heat control system, bypassing whatever safety mechanism that usually keeps you from accessing it.

The stupidest thing a person could do would be to pursue this, take the vows, recieve the empowerment, then start violating their vows repeatedly, on purpose, without quickly confessing the violation to someone. People who do that do not need to die to find hell, it will manifest for them within this very lifetime.

The most gifted individuals are those who have developed in previous lives, have already reached the full capacity of devotion, and are born as great,

superior beings. For them, even without following the stages of practice, it is still possible to perceive the truth of reality. For all others, it is as the noble Nagarjuna said: Listening to Dharma engenders contemplation, and contemplation gives rise to the meditation experience - this is the sequence.

So if you abandon distraction and continuously apply effort, first the intelligence that comes from listening

will result in comprehension of the general characteristics of the phenomena of cyclic existence and its transcendence. Then, contemplation will pacify blatant grasping to the reality of illusory appearances, meditation develops the definitive direct experience of mind, and so on. Thus the previous stages act as causes for the arising of the latter. When this is not the case, it is like desiring results without any cause.

It's an evil and miserable perspective and the entire ascetic tradition that developed in Hinduism from around the 6th century BC is pointless.

They were only trying to recreate the effects of Soma in the absence of such, were either the recipe or the ingredients had been lost, the Rig Veda tradition was the complete opposite of the ascetic movement, and it was all about the Soma.

>O Soma, these Seven Rivers flow, as being thine, to give command the Seven Sisters with their hymns made melody round thee the Sage

>The ten swift fingers deck thee forth, seven ministers impel thee on: The sages have rejoiced in thee. Great Son great Strengtheners of Law. Urged by the seven devotions he hath stirred the guileless rivers which Have magnified the Single Eye.

>The Ṛṣis came to him, seven holy singers, when in the bowls he settled as Invoker. In thy mysterious place, O Pavamana Soma, are all the Gods, the Thrice-Eleven. The Sage, Celestial, liberal, raining bounties, pours as he flows the Genuine for the Truthful. Light-winner, Ṛṣi-mindcd, Ṛṣi-maker, hymned in a thousand hymns, Leader of sages

>Excellent Pavamana, make the lights shine brightly out for us. Speed us to mental power and skill. He, beautified by pious men, and coming from their hands adorned, Flows through the fleecy straining-cloth. May Soma pour all treasures of the heavens, the earth, the firmament Upon the liberal worshipper.

You are trying to induce a mental experience and a sense of Oneness with the Divine, what i am sauing is doesn't it seem sad that a person could spend their life trying to induce that when a sip of Soma was understood to have toy flying up to the Bull of Heaven on a stream of consciousness on a better ride than anything imagined by Disney World, isn't it an evil that people cannot experience that but rather most resort to all manner of inadequate techniques?

I would rather restore the preparation of Soma but first one must understand the source and it's relationship to the seven sisters and sages of the Pleiades.

>Where is the secret shrine of heaven, where are those waters young and fresh. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake. Make me immortal in that realm where they move even as they list, In the third sphere of inmost heaven where lucid worlds are full of light. Flow, Indu, flow for Indra's sake.

There were eight ingredients as per the plants of the spider Goddess, the seated Goddess that represented Orion prepared the Soma, she could even be replaced by a pouring jar and cup in relationship to the spider, that was the inter-mediary of Heaven and Earth.

Every single thought you think is a form of meditation. Dreaming at night is a form of yoga. Buddhism is what is directly in front of your face. If thinking, dreaming, and existing are evil then everything is evil, which would be silly. There is no dogma needed beyond examining the mind and reality. Not worshipping it, not praying to it, just being aware of it, examining it. You can fit whatever spiritual beliefs wherever you want within that, or not, I don't care. We are not evangelists. We do not recruit. If it weren't for this exceedingly odd situation going on I wouldn't be typing any of this. People want to know what the secrets are in the secret traditions. Now they've seen them. It's unimportant to me whether they read any of it or not. That's up to karma, just as the negative experiences you project outwards are due to karma.

It is easy to label other people's ideas as wrong and demand they adjust to suit our desires, but it is probably not the best way to get results from free, independent human beings with minds of their own. I hope you find the best of results on your own journey, wherever that may lead you. Hopefully fun places. Life is boring otherwise.

Orion's Big Head Revealed in Infrared

In Greek mythology, Orion was a hunter whose vanity was so great that he angered the goddess Artemis. As his punishment, Artemis banished the hunter to the sky where he can be seen as the famous constellation Orion. In the constellation, Orion's head is represented by the star Lamdba Orionis (fuzzy red dot in middle). When viewed in infrared light, NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, shows a giant nebula around Lambda Orionis, inflating Orion's head to huge proportions.

Lambda Orionis is a hot, massive star that is surrounded by several other hot, massive stars, all of which are creating radiation that excites a ring of dust, creating the "Lambda Orionis molecular ring." Also known as SH 2-264, the Lambda Orionis molecular ring is sometimes called the Meissa ring. In Arabic, the star Lambda Orionis is known as "Meissa" or "Al-Maisan," meaning "the shining one." The Meissa Ring is of interest to astronomers because it contains clusters of young stars and proto-stars, or forming stars, embedded within the clouds. With a diameter of approximately 130 light-years, the Lambda Orionis molecular ring is notable for being one of the largest star-forming regions WISE has seen. This is also the largest single image featured by WISE so far, with an area of the sky approximately 10 by 10 degrees in size, equivalent to a grid of 20 by 20 full moons. Nevertheless, at less than one percent of the whole sky's area, it is just a taste of WISE data.

The bright blue star in the lower left corner of the image is the star Betelgeuse, which represents one shoulder of the hunter Orion. The name Betelgeuse is actually a corruption of the original Arabic phrase "Yad al-Jauza'," meaning "hand of the giant one." Betelgeuse is well known for being a red supergiant star, yet in WISE's infrared view it appears blue, as do most stars in WISE images. This is because most stars, including Betelgeuse, put out more light in the shortest infrared wavelengths of light captured by WISE, and those shorter wavelengths are presented in WISE images as blue and cyan.

In visible light, Orion's other shoulder is clearly marked by the variable star Bellatrix. In infrared light, however, Bellatrix is a somewhat unremarkable cyan-colored star in the right side of the image. In Latin, Bellatrix means "female warrior," which is perhaps why the name was chosen for a female witch character in the popular Harry Potter books.

Also seen in this image are two dark nebulae, Barnard 30 and Barnard 35, which are parts of the Meissa ring that are so dense they block out visible light. Barnard 30 is the bright knob of gas and dust in the top center part of the image. Barnard 35 appears as a hook extending towards the center of the ring just above and to the right of the star Betelgeuse. The bright reddish object seen to in the middle right part of the image is the star HR 1763, which is surrounded by another star-forming region, LBN 867.

Color in this image represents specific wavelengths of infrared light. Blue and cyan represent 3.4- and 4.6-microns, primarily light emitted by hot stars. Green and red represent 12- and 22-micron light, which is mainly radiation from warm dust.

" Interestingly, one of the stars in Orion is name Meissa, meaning “shining one” in Arabic,2 “moonlike” in Hindi and the “one who is coming forth” in Hebrew,3 as in the concept of the Messiah. "

"It was neither oblong or square, and has reference to the "keystone" or copestone. According to Masonic legends, the builders of the Temple of Solomon became bewildered when they received this particular stone, and as it was neither oblong or square as they were used to receiving subsequently threw it aside. They later found that this stone was very necessary and important, and that it was to become the head of the corner. The Bible make this "rejected stone" a type of the Christ, who is indeed the "chief stone" in the building of Christian character and of the Kingdom of God… — ( Psalms 118:22 - Matthew 21:42 - Mark 12:10 - John 1:4 - 1 Peter 2:4,6 )"

On June 30, 1908, over 100 years ago, a huge explosion destroyed over 1,000 miles of a very remote and sparsely inhabited region of central Siberia.

The exact date of the event is very uncertain because nobody from the outside reached the region until 1927, and there is an 11 day difference between the Julian calendar then used by the Russians, and the Gregorian calendar which supplanted the Julian calendar.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII massacred the calendar by taking out 11 days in the month of October. The Russians did not convert to the Gregorian calendar until after the 1917 Russian Revolution.

This explosion was not a meteorite or visitors from outer space….It was the work of the super Serbian scientist named Nikola Tesla.

Nikola Tesla arrived back from Colorado Springs in 1900, and immediately began constructing a transmitting tower to send electricity and communications around the world without the use of wires.

Tesla decided to test his "peace ray" at the North Pole!! (see UN map)

Colorado Springs eh? Pics related has some clay and spooky stuff, pic of North Pole from Military satellite, evidence of electricity on mars causing craters n stuffs, etc and so on.

whole lotta juicy stuff here www.reformation.org/tesla-and-tunguska.html

I read old articles and figured out where Tesla had his Lab! Had to whip out the topography map but found it, in Colorado Springs!!
