Mystic Sages quote

"The Spirit of God Acts Within Us by Grace..."

"Grace is accessing a transcendant guidance for the individual intellect & will
toward liberation through dwelling in wisdom..."

What is "the tension between liberty, obedience, & integrity"?

"Discernment of Spirits is the term that describes the "understanding of perceptions" (judgement) to determine from what spirit the impulses of the soul eminate..."

VOLITION

Impulses
Actions
Attitudes

Which is voluntary?
Which is involuntary?

Let's explore the vast net of human knowledge and see the what is manifest...

Holiness & Justice (Essence)
Wholeness & Strength (Health as "what is integral to the core design...")
Wounded & Weak (Vulnerable & Impermanent)
Sin & Evil (Manifesting Ignorance, Suffering, & Death)

The Wheel of Life keeps incessantly turning !!!

All the six realms are spinning round the axis of passion, aggression, & ignorance...
Held together by the 12 links of interdependent origination...
There is a path beyond this road...

...Where the silent bell is ringing...

CONSCIOUSNESS, ATTENTION, & WILL

Attention is the leverage point between Consciousness & Will

!!! PAY ATTENTION !!!

LOVE AND FRIENDLINESS TO ALL IN THE HOLY DAY OF BUDDHA-PURNIMA,
THE DAY OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI'S BIRTH-ENLIGHTENMENT-DEATH

A person who is disciplined in all the five elemental stages, panchaskandha, both inwardly and outwardly is one Arhat, one identified with immovable self-realization of Nothingness.
When the Arhat loses his personal identity, he attains Nirvana in the personal state and is called one Pratyeka Buddha, a personal Enlightened One. The Pratyeka Buddha is in the personal identity, and is known as the Nirmanakaya Buddha.
When the Pratyeka Buddha attains universality he is known as a Boddhisattva, the Compassionate One. All great gods and goddesses are in this state of universality. When a Boddhisattva attains Universal Nirvana, that is to say loses the universal identity, is known as one Samyak Buddha, absolutely Enlightened. Such a Buddha, in teaching, should hold Compassion. So He/She is a Great Compassionate One, Mahabodhisattva, who is in Body-Speech-Mind dedicated to Compassion. This is the stage of Avalokiteshwara, the all-seeing God. The Samyak Buddha is in the universal identity, and is known as the Sambhogakaya Buddha.
When the Samyak Buddha loses Self-identity, the One attains Transcendental Nirvana, losing even the bondage of attainment of Nirvana, and is known as one Samyaksambuddha, one Perfectly Enlightened. Such a Buddha is in the transcendental identity, and is known as the Dharmakaya Buddha.
The Samyaksambuddha, when in practice of Life as a Guru passes through all paradoxes of life, becomes absolutely carefree. He becomes parallel to the everchangfulness of Nature. When He is identified with the spontaneity of Nature, both inner and outer being same to Him, He loses even holding on to the jewels of attainments of disciplines and the disciplines of attainments. When He identifies Himself as the Perfect Neutrality, the Paradox as it is, He is called the Prabuddha, the all-inspiring Buddha. The Prabuddha is the Spontaneity personified, and is known as the Sahajakaya/Nirvikalpajinakaya Buddha, the spontaneously Enlightened One.

- Kulavadhuta Satpurananda, Book Of Revelations, 15th November 1999 Monday.

May you be blessed with perserverance

May you be blessed with perserverance
that comes from residing in your essential clarity.

Nothing to attack or defend,
with a mind like water,
we bend with the wind.

A lotus blossoms in the fire,
giving birth to jewels.

What is your heart essence?

OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA!

May you see the other shore...

We are all points of activity within the metashere; always broadcasting our performances in real time

...What is a thought process...?

What is thought? What is mind?

How do we get from one thought to the next?

Like a plot to a story we are lead along the stream of consciousness into a virtual world of the imagination which is organized by the structure of language.

In our minds we find the inner pool that holds all of our impressions about the world. The dark emotions, the secret logic, and the bright heart are all found within our inner experience.

We can isolate a thought from the other aspects of consciousness
but can we isolate our thoughts from the presence of mind?

This mind is the divine presence in everyones life. This is also the presence of cyclic absorption in the mundane. All experience resides in this mind. It is vast and ancient.

How can a thought be represented?

Is language the universal translator?
The primary mode of expression between minds seeking communion?
As language is continually transmitting understanding or misunderstanding...
What understanding is beyond language?

Language has the power to describe, evoke, and create.
Who receives the message's effect?

Bring awareness to all the senses!
Open the door of your heart to the world!
Find your inner understanding and be at peace this moment...

Self-Reflecting Energy Patterns

The "Secret Law of Attraction" is only secret because we do not perceive its pervasiveness.

The law of attraction is like the gravity of a souls intentions magnetizing its karma.

The energetic dynamics that determine our personal energy pattern are the same energies that cause planets to spin around stars.

We are all embraced in the primordial now!

Choose your thoughts...
they emanate energy patterns.

Thoughts emanate energy
within the context of universal interdependence.

Thought waves are another form of radiation!

Thought waves...

Impressions within the subconscious mind.

Building ideas from the collective memes...

Thought waves....

Influenced by the law of attraction:

"It is no secret that we are all energy. Everything is energy. You, me, the pen laying on my desk. All energy vibrating at a different rate. The Law of Attraction states, in a nutshell, like attracts like. In other words, we are like a walking magnet that draws to us anyone or anything that is on the same wavelength. If you’re radiating positive energy, you attract positive people and experiences. If you’re radiating negative energy, you attract negativity."

"Like joins with like..."

Be aware of what you emanate...

Your underlying moods color you impressions of experience...
Your impressions color your actions...
Your actions feedback to you
...not as metaphor but as experience!

Watch what you think!
You are the author and architect of your life.
Abundance is your birthright!
Create the world you want to see.

Awake into the dream!
Cultivate the revolution within...!

Being Unique !??!

The Principle of Freedom is important because of our common uniqueness.

We are each individuals with a common bond.

We share the substrate but hold a unique expression.

Because we are each unique on our space/time trajectories
and we have different perceptions, traits, emotions, and languages,
we need to respect the rights of individual freedom.

Because we share a common bond, being made of common elements,
we have similar perceptions, traits, emotions, and languages
we need to respect the integrity of these relationships.

Let's find the golden road between the three"I"s
face to face we interface and then transcend.

Into the next moment we discover a new self in each other.

Being together...

Being unique.
