It Doesn't Matter if You were Pure as The Driven Snow or... a Reprobate on The Outlaw Trail... Who Finally Saw The Light.

 God Poet Transmitting…….

It is so very hard to see what is going on with the physical eye. It is certainly impossible to comprehend any of it with the carnal mind… because the carnal mind does not concern itself with understanding anything… animal enjoyment is the single objective, and there is nothing beyond that. In Times of Material Darkness… The Carnal Mind attains its greatest power. Its influence is widespread. It is… so to speak… all over the map.

Films… music… media… they all inflame the mind with the sensory attractions. Commercials are everywhere… the dancing LEDs… the relentless imagery… resemble a kind of demented Nutcracker Suite; get this! Get that, and… get out of town. Escape! Get away! Get away without ever leaving home! Escape in your head! Then the gates close and the cell door slams… because ALL material attraction builds a prison house for you; first in your mind, and then in the surrounding world that is a projection of the mind.

There is a dial. It turns and moves through all of the form and color coordinations of Nature as she is, and as she is adapted to be through the impress of The Mind upon The Substance of Things Unseen. Then… a moment comes when The Dial hits that specific point, and… the… whole… world… changes… and The Mind is renewed. A new range of senses appear to interpret this world… that is so very unlike The World that existed only a moment before.

Okay… that was brief and short, BUT ten thousand words would make it no more clear. One world is the domain of The Carnal Mind, and the other world is the domain of The Spiritual Eye. Nearly all of humanity lives and moves in some permutation of The Carnal Mind, and a few who have been liberated from hunger… from appetite… from wanting… live in both worlds at the same time. They don’t get that catch in the throat. They don’t get the paralytic freeze of fear in the heart.

What appears as carnal to the rank and file in The Robot Brigade, AKA… The Marching Dead, AKA…The Manipulated and Mesmerized looks entirely different to The Spiritual Eye. For most… there is a pull that happens… between the desiring and the object of desire. For the few… that pull has been neutralized, and… one is set free.

One no longer lives in a poverty zone of wanting… and wanting… and wanting. One is now in a state of having… of having everything… that one previously imagined to exist outside of themselves… on tap… at all times… from everlasting to everlasting. The point being that there is only one thing worth having, and EVERYTHING ELSE can only be fully enjoyed… or appreciated… when one has that one thing. Otherwise… disappointment and dissatisfaction are a certainty… sooner or later.

That’s the whole of it. You can read a hundred books… a thousand books. You can write a hundred books… a thousand books. You can follow one religion after the other… you can take this course and that course of self-betterment. You can travel The World around. See The Sights! Bright lights of the cities… take home a six-pack of dancing girls; do it every night… make a fortune… fly private… belong to the most exclusive clubs. It won’t be there.

It is the most elusive thing in The World because it is not in The World. It is shapeless and colorless. It’s an acquired taste because you can’t taste it unless those other senses are opened.

It’s been said that it is easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than to enter into Heaven. Let’s extrapolate that into every other area of life. If all your enjoyment is here… here is all you’ll get, and you will go on wanting, and wanting, and wanting, and… it will get worse, and worse, and worse.

You won’t be happy with the usual pleasures… that thrill will go away. You’ll be driven to more and more exotic fare, and… as you go… something you were unaware of, but which was present all along, and watching you all along… is going to slowly come to life in you. It’s going to become more and more present. It will be a small wheedling voice. It will grow more insistent. It will grow more demanding, and what are you going to do?

You’ve already made arrangements and concessions, all… along… the… way, and… at each stop, a piece of you got sucked away. The time will come when you are taken over by another will, and… that will not be all she wrote. There is another way to go. It also involves another will… another presence… that has been present all along… and watching you all along. It is something that will come to life in you… becoming more and more present.

It’s hard for most people to even know what road they are on. One becomes persuaded that what one is seeing and feeling is something other than what it really is. The deception is masterful… because the one doing the deceiving… has been doing it for millions of years. You are involved… like it or not… in a battle for the ages. It seems never to end. It just keeps taking another shape… like Sauron The Shadow… moving from one place to the next. Every age has a new permutation, and…

… you are here for only one of two reasons. Either your role in the drama is yet to be resolved OR… you’re here to help. When I say unresolved… that could mean anything from being a submissive bondage freak… in harness to The Dark Lord of Painful Pleasures or… you are headed there, and at a particular stage of the journey OR… you are headed to that other place that includes more places than the mind can imagine. That actually applies to both places.

Everything is a deception here because everything appears to be something other than what it is. Take pleasure for instance. Everything that offers pleasure here is only pain delayed. Sooner or later it’s going to hurt. It might separate you from something meaningful. It might pay you a visit in the form of some malady. EVERYTHING comes at a cost. The Gita talks about that which seems to be nectar at first and then turns into poison, and that which seems like poison at first, and then turns into nectar. I understand it. It hurt like Hell for a really long time, BUT… I got the point.

I should have gotten the point much earlier, but… I’m a little slow. Then I was told there was no getting around or over at any stage… there was only going through, so… there was no way I was going to get the point earlier. Everyone that takes this road has to go through certain things. It doesn’t matter if you were pure as the driven snow or… a serious reprobate on The Outlaw Trail… who finally saw The Light, you got to walk through The Fire or burn.

I don’t know why they work it this way. Maybe it is so that when you come out the other side you won’t be judging others as harshly… as might have been the case… if you had been a self-righteous prig who never got down into the murk. Perhaps one has to understand The Murk and its attractions before you can be free of it. You have to have that commonality of mind that understands that we are all sinners who have come short of the mark… short of The Glory of God.

The mercy of The Divine… the forgiveness of The Divine… are far… far beyond the reach and understanding of The Mortal Mind. One must realize that every offense committed against anyone is an offense against The Divine… because The Divine is the whole of everything… is every part… is the whole, and is also that something else… that gestalt that is beyond the whole. Of course… in most cases… the parts do not recognize their connection to The Divine… that’s what life is all about.

It’s a game of hide and seek between you… and The Divine, and… it is The Divine that redeems you. He comes personally to see to that… on a regular basis.

There is ONLY you and The Divine. Everything else? You are imagining it. Meanwhile… you can run loose through The Jungle. You can do This… That… and The Other Thing. You can go on and on about it for millions of years, some do… some do.

Then there is The Land of The Great Companions. You can’t get there on your own. That is not possible, BUT… you can want it so bad. You can want it more than anything else, and… that intensity will attract a guide that will take you there. That’s how it works. I am speaking firsthand on the matter. I suppose there are any number of ways to go about it, BUT… NO MATTER WHAT… you have to be taken there. You cannot get there on your own.

There is this critical disconnect between The Separated Mind and the reality of existence. That mind… personified in every one of us… thinks of itself as a separate entity. There is only one mind. Then there is the sense of a self apart. Deal with that and you will have solved The Great Mystery. Until you do… Life will be a series of funhouse mirrors… reflecting distorted images… in a dream.

Excerpt from Chapter 2 of The Bhagavad Gita=

The scriptures describe the three gunas. But you should be free

from the action of the gunas,

established in eternal truth, self-controlled,

without any sense of duality or the desire to acquire and

hoard.

Just as a reservoir is of little use when the whole countryside is

flooded, scriptures are of little use to the illumined man or woman,

who sees the Lord everywhere.

You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You

should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you

long for inaction.

Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man

established within himself – without selfish attachments, and alike

in success and defeat. For yoga is perfect evenness of mind.

Seek refuge in the attitude of detachment and you will amass the

wealth of spiritual awareness. Those who are motivated only by

desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly

anxious about the results of what they do.

When consciousness is

unified, however, all vain anxiety is left behind. There is no cause

for worry, whether things go well or ill. Therefore, devote yourself

to the disciplines of yoga, for yoga is skill in action.

The wise unify their consciousness and abandon attachment to the

fruits of action, which binds a person to continual rebirth. Thus they

attain a state beyond all evil

When your mind has overcome the confusion of duality, you will

attain the state of holy indifference to things you hear and things

you have heard. When you are unmoved by the confusion of

ideas and your mind is completely united in deep samadhi, you will

attain the state of perfect yoga.

Here is a little something about channeling the Kundalini

in an excerpt from Book 3 of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali=

Perfectly concentrated Meditation on the center of

force in the lower trunk brings an understanding of the order of

the bodily powers.

We are coming to a vitally important part of the teaching

of Yoga, namely, the spiritual man’s attainment of full self-

consciousness, the awakening of the spiritual man as a self-

conscious individual, behind and above the natural man. In

this awakening, and in the process of gestation which precedes

it, there is a close relation with the powers of the natural man,

which are, in a certain sense, the projection outward and

downward, of the powers of the spiritual man.

This is notably

true of that creative power of the spiritual man which, when

embodied in the natural man, becomes the power of generation.

Not only is this power the cause of the continuance of the

bodily race of mankind, but further, in the individual, it is the

key to the dominance of the personal life.

Rising, as it were,

through the life channels of the body, it flushes the personality

with physical force, and maintains and colors the illusion that

the physical life is the dominant and all-important expression

of life. In due time, when the spiritual man has begun to take

form, the creative force will be drawn off, and become opera-

tive in building the body of the spiritual man, just as it has

been operative in the building of physical bodies, through

generation in the natural world.

Perfectly concentrated Meditation on the nature of this

force means, first, that rising of the consciousness into the

spiritual world, already described, which gives the one sure

foothold for Meditation, and then, from that spiritual point of

vantage, not only an insight into the creative force, 

in its spiritual and physical aspects, but also a gradually attained control

of this wonderful force, which will mean its direction to the

body of the spiritual man, and its gradual withdrawal from the

body of the natural man, until the overpressure, so general and

such a fruitful source of misery in our day, is abated, and

purity takes the place of passion.

This overpressure, which is

the cause of so many evils and so much of human shame, is

an abnormal, not a natural, condition. It is primarily due to

spiritual blindness, to blindness regarding the spiritual man,

and ignorance even of his existence; for by this blind ignorance

are closed the channels through which, were they open, the

creative force could flow into the body of the spiritual man,

there building up an immortal vesture.

There is no cure for

blindness, with its consequent over-pressure and attendant misery and shame, 

but spiritual vision, spiritual aspiration, sacrifice, the new birth from above. 

There is no other way to

lighten the burden, to lift the misery and shame from human

life. Therefore let us follow after sacrifice and aspiration, let

us seek the light. In this way only shall we gain that insight

into the order of the bodily powers, and that mastery of them,

which this sutra implies.
