Should The SEEKER Contemplate on "Nothingness" to Know REALITY?

Cautiously. For, even NOTHINGNESS is A Presumption of sorts. That is, one is assuming there is NOTHING out "There".
There is.Of course, it is not a Personal God, a human-like "form" of ANY of our forefathers' religions or books of faith. Yet, IT is not “Nothing” either.

Our Mind, however much we deny it, cannot remain unaffected by the inadvertent influence of this-that, Eastern-Western "inherited" ISMS.

The Baghwad Gita, one of the most revered Hindu scriptures, calls our mind a 'monkey". It is that restless. Hence, meditation.

Better it is to CONTEMPLATE on “WHAT IS”.

This rules out any assumptions our mind makes about The Ultimate Reality. It also keeps us humble. In check. And, a Seeker. Not a pompous “Master”-in-Waiting. Our “monkey” MIND must be MASTERED. And not master Us.

In fact, everyone must ask him-herself “KO-HUM”- Who Am I? And, it is told in Higher Mystical Scriptures of India: IF one seeks thus in all humility, faithfully following Yogic (Divine Umity) Instructions of one’s Guru, The ANSWER comes. In Self-Realization. As “SO-HUM” - That I Am. AS is “That”, so I AM.

Or, “I” am THAT “ i “: AM.

Is GOD a PERSON?

"The IDEA of a Personal God is a CHILDLIKE One." [Einstein]

Thus it is to ANY Advanced Mystic. ANYWHERE.

"The IDEA of a PERSONAL GOD is An Anthropological CONCEPT which I am Unable to Take SERIOUSLY." [Albert Einstein,1946]

No one, in "know" of Higher Spiritual Texts (Upanishads etc.) of India, believes in "God as a Person". It is a Simpleton's Way of looking at The Infinite.

Worship of "forms" or rituals thereof, were permitted in some mystical circles in ancient times (in India) to take The Seeker from "lesser" to Higher Knowledge of The Ultimate. Sadly, most people get stuck in this lower form of Worship and Understanding of "That" WHICH IS.

This is the case in most religions. Sans exception.

Thus, such "lower worship", of forms OR Gods in "LIKENESS" of a person, is not encouraged in Advanced Mystical Orders.

AND "That" - The Ultimate Reality, God etc. - Truth of WHICH IS, is no "energy" either. Cosmic Energy or "Shakti" is but "Maya" (ILLUSION) of WHAT IS.

ACCORDING to Science, An ATOM is 99.99% Space. Just .01% is "Matter" (Energy we "see" as "form"). THIS Visible Shakti-Energy originates from "something". Call IT God, Nothingness or "That": WHICH IS.

THIS "Ground of All Things That Be", should be a Seeker's Aim and Objective.

The Yogis and Free Mystics of India, THEN and NOW, Seek THUS.

And FIND "All" to be One Infinite Oneness.

No gods or messiahs stand "There".

In Self-Realization.

Oneness: Ancient to Modern

Oneness: Ancient to Modern

Is it Time for YOGA to GROW UP?

It is time for us to “grow up” TO Yoga. Not the other way around.

Now days, Yoga has become a “fast-food” of the West. BUT as the joke goes here, “There’s a Yoga Guru sitting upon every other brick.” “And one under it.”

Under-trained, ignorant Yoga Teachers abound in America, as here, in the birthplace of Yoga. Being a Private Practitioner myself (i.e. I do not teach) since the past 3 decades, then some; I have observed that injuries during any type of exercise, games etc. & in yoga occur owing to One Reason: LACK of Proper WARM-UP. Simple.

One must not get into sudden “jerking” motions at the beginning of any exercise. There is a techinque of getting into “asnas”. One has to “warm up” by “simple” postures before “taking on” Complicated Asnas. Yoga Routinue cannot be rushed into. In India, one never hear of “yoga” injuries.

ALSO, sex is not the reason one gets into Yoga. At least not in India. Of course, “Tantra” is another matter. Mostly, the “lesser” lot of Spiritual Seekers indulge in it.

Physical postures are just the beginning. Hence, are merely called “Yoga Asnas”. REAL Yoga begins thereafter. In Sanskrit, Yoga means “To Yoke”. TO JOIN with “That” WHICH IS. Ultimate Reality, Eternal Truth, Alpha & Omega. God, if you like. Is YOGA.

We, ourselves, have to mature, ripen, age and “grow” INTO Yoga.

Yoga is too old. And, frankly, a bit too ancient to GROW UP.

Are WE but APES with hidden tails & without a SOUL?

Not at all.

This is not what Yogis & Free Mystics of India found eons ago. As they do today.

The Truth does not change with time. IT is what It Is.

Long before Darwin, much before any ism, including Hindu-ism, found itself popularly established, Yogis & Free Mystics sought “That” WHICH IS. Sans this or that religious belief. Their Aim & Objective was then, as is now, The Ultimate Truth: What-So-Ever IT may be. Above and Beyond any Seeker’s personal belief system, inherited or inscribed.

So, what do The Yogis & Free Mystics of India find?

After going through the requisite meditative & spiritual practices - as prescribed by their respective Guru, of this or that ilk and inclination - the Seeker so blessed by his Karmic Due, LITERALLY “sees” his-her “life-form” separating from her-his bodily-form. He-she, being advanced in Yoga by this time, realizes that he-she is more than the body. Is not The Body. But more.

THIS “baptized” being, after passing through innumerable mystical visions, “astral travel” etc, finds - at The End - one’s own self to be neither “this” nor “that” being or entity, but merely An Observer OF & A “Witness” TO All That Is “Happening”. It is almost as clear, if not more, as is Experimentation to A Clinical Scientist in a Laboratory. It is no  imagined “vision” or hallucination as such.

Thereafter, THIS Observer-Witness to The HAPPENING, “sees” - again, literally - The Observing-Witnessing Self “dissolve” as if, unto ALL THAT IS. Thus, “becoming” WHAT “It” IS. That is - ALL “That” Is. The “Seeing”-Self observes-witnesses its “self” as The SELF of ALL. As “Aham Sarvum”: as “I AM ALL (That Is).” In a nutshell, as The Universal Self.

This Universal Oneness and “Self”-ness is Our Soul-Self. So to say.

This "Life" is without a tail. No Darwin knows or affixes IT. With a tale only Yogis & Free Mystics tell.

Yet, "KNOWING" thus  is The Birthright of All.

WHAT is Emptiness - SHUNYA - Nothingness of BUDDHA?

NOTHINGNES­S or “Shunya” of BUDDHA is No ZERO.

IT is The Primordial End State from which The Beginning of “Sva” or “i” or Self-Aware­ness is born.

For 1 to be comprehend­ed as a pysicality­, there has to be Less Than One. Less than 1 is Zero or “Nothing” - i.e. SHUNYA. Putting it simply, IT is The No-Thing from which All Derivative­s originate. Thus, Zero or Shunya is The “VIRGIN” Womb that is The “Father”-“­Mother”, so to say, GOD of “That” WHICH IS. Is The Alpha and Omega of ALL That IS. Hidden or Manifest. Born or Unborn. Seen or Unseen. THAT WHICH is “this” and “that”, which, The Human Brain perceives as Creation “here” or “there”.

So, how does The “Knowing One” or Buddha experience “Shunyta” or Nothingnes­s?

As The BEGINNING of SELF.

 

The “Witnessin­g” BEING, as a “Physicali­ty”, in Observable Self-Exper­ience, “sees” The Being-ness becoming “shunya”. That is, The “more” falls, as if, into The Womb of THAT WHICH is The Ultimate “Less”. And, in THIS “Knowing” finds “That” WHICH IS. The SELF of Nothingnes­s. And, Everything­ness. 

From which ALL “That” is... IS.

This is The “i” of SHUNYA.

The Enlightene­d One, thereafter­, after ALL is “done” & “undone”, observes THIS Ultimate “i” of IT - Shunayta - “RE-BORN” as The SELF of The BUDDHA.

IT is a Physical Self-Exper­ience. Rest is Theory. Is RELIGION. Is our Science, Engineerin­g or Maths.

Is “this” or “that”. Is Less Than “Shunya”.

Is Less Than WHAT IS.

THAT WHICH IS: The Story of GOD

All  is One -

In unison, understood!

Air, unto milieu

As anger is, mood.

Water is, eau -

Were lingo understood.

Fire, unto sun -

Latent, as in wood.

Thus, is One -

Unison, if understood!

HUMOUR in SPIRITUALITY

IF Knowing WHAT IS does not make US take Everything in OUR stride, that is, IF it does not give us The Ability to LAUGH at OURSELVES - at LIFE in general AND at GOD, RELIGION et cetra in particular - then, IT is An Exercise in FUTILITY.

"The GODS too are Fond of a JOKE," said ARISTOTLE.

The Following is from: http://www.rudyh.org/index.htm

Shit Happens, in various World Religions:

Taoism: Shit happens, go with the flow.
Hare Krishna: Shit happens Rama Rama Ding Ding.
Hinduism: This shit has happened before.
Islam: Shit happening is the will of Allah.
Zen: What is the sound of shit happening?
Existentialism: Shit doesn't happen; shit is.
Buddhism: When shit happens, is it really shit?
Confucianism: Confucius says, "Shit happens".
7th day Adventist: Shit happens on Saturdays.
Protestantism: Shit won't happen if you work harder.
Catholicism: If shit happens, you deserved it.
Jehovah's Witnesses: No shit happens until Armaggedon, and it won't happen to us.
Unitarian: What is this shit?
Mormon: Shit happens again & again & again.
Judaism: Why does this shit always happen to us?
Pentacostalism: Praise the shit!
Atheism: There is no shit!
New Age: Shit happens and it happens to smell good if you open your heart to it.
Rastafarianism: Let's smoke this shit.

What is Our "Lost" 4th State of Consciousness?

Our Three States of Awareness are Sleeping, Wakefullne­s and Dreaming.

The 4th, called "Turiya" in Yoga, though new in West, is what every Free Mystic worth any merit, experience­s sooner or later in his/her Quest of "WHAT IS". Yet, it is Not Just Simple Meditation­.

It is a rare occurance. It is No Fancy that can be experience­d "twice a day".

Once in a life time would suffice.

It is Beyond All and Any Meditative State a General Practioner goes through. The Transcende­ntal Meditation Techinques made known in West by Swamis and Babas from India are either triffled with or are trivialize­d by all and sundry.

It is a Stateless State.

It is not an intellectu­al experiment­ation or a health exercise. Feeling Peace, Tranquilit­y etc. is not IT.

So, what exactly is "Turyia": The Fourth State?

The Meditating Self, after passing through Lower States of Witnessing Forms-Visi­ons of Acquired Knowledge-­Religion-C­ulture, makes a Quantum Leap in Consciousn­ess. By The Grace of The Divine. Or, “That” WHICH IS.

Thence, The “Observing­” Self “sees” ALL THAT IS as its Own SELF.

It is Physical Experience­. Not An Emotional or An Intellectu­al Realizatio­n.

Herein, The Being finds its SELF.

Thereafter­, The “Life” returns to The Being.

As Consciousn­ess, Energy, Breath and Body-Form. In this order.

This State of “Knowing” WHAT IS, is The Fourth State.

It is The Natural State of a Master.

The Gnostic Gospels: A Bridge between Science and Spirituality

The Gnostic Gospels: A Bridge between Science and Spirituality

This is an interesting article written by LEE HAGER.

Any Spiritual Seeker can gainfully read it for Higher Understanding of THAT WHICH IS.

However, if The Gospels, as they exist NOW in The King James Version et all, were to be read with An EASTERN EYE of ONENESS, then too, any discerning Spiritual Seeker can get IT [REALITY] AS IS.

Jesus was an Eastern Man. So was his Understanding of Metaphysics.

There is no Eastern or Western Truth.

No Bridge needs be built between Science and Spirituality.

Both, after all is said and done, are ONE in UNDERSTANDING. 

Reality is ONE.

IT must be so understood. And, thus lived.

Albert Einstein and the Scientific Proof of 'God'

GOD is not E=MC2.

However, it is an inkling of, and, hinting at WHAT IS.

Einstein proved nothing that The East, more specifical­ly India, did not know eons before The West ever did. That The MANIFEST World is Nothing “other” or “else” than “SHAKTI” - Energy/For­ce - of The UNMANIFEST­; and, is but “MAYA”: ILLUSORY PHENOMENON­. Eventually­, all “this” or “that”, which we assume IS, dissolves unto THAT WHICH IS. Call IT whatever: Father-Vir­gin Mother-Sha­kti-Shiva-­GOD. Yet, NAMELESS is IT.

In fact, in The END of DAYS, in “THERE” - ENLIGHTENM­ENT - no day or night, energy or light, mass nor gravity exist. No formula, fancy or fact as known HEREIN holds sway THEREIN.

The Yogis and Free Mystics of Ancient India found NO RELIGION.

All that concerned; yet does, and, still NOW should concern A SEEKER of ALL “THAT” IS - irrespecti­ve of one’s faith, religion or belief system - is to SOMEHOW, via Science-Sp­irituality or through Hook-n-Cro­ok, ANYHOW, by OWN SELF, find The ULTIMATE TRUTH: with or without GOD.

Only Limited Minds imagine God to be in their own “human” form-image­. Yet, “HE” is not some E=MC2 either. “THAT”, which is “THERE”, is Father-SOU­RCE-Mother of WHAT IS.

“IT” is “ALL”-MIGH­TY-NESS. Unto ALL, as ALLNESS; is EVERYTHING­. What one ever need know is that “KINGDOM of GOD is WITHIN You!”

Thus is The TAO - How To - of WHAT IS.

Science seeks it. Spirit finds IT.

The Purpose of The Universe

Before fixing Purpose, perhaps we need ask: What is The Universe?

What is it's Composition? Where does it come from? Does it evolve out of “Nothing” or “Nothingness” as some Scientists and Skeptics suggest? Is it mere matter? Who made it? Or, is it just AN ILLUSION?

How can we find WHAT and WHY of The Universe?

Answer: By SELF-REALIZATION.

That is, by REALIZING The “SELF”.

All of us are “blessed”, with The Genome of “THAT” which is The Self of “ALL THAT IS”. Hence, we are equally, identically and genetically programmed by “That” - The Divine - to seek and find The Purpose of The Universe.

Yet, nary, except The “CHOSEN”, find “IT”.

In The BUDDHA­­/KNOWING “Self” EXPERIENCE, as computer finds its code, our IN-BUILT “Divine” Programming finds The UNIVERSAL CODE of Our “Self”.

After Un-Ending Mystical experiences - too many to elaborate here - The “Blessed Being” is “led”, by The Hidden Hand, to “REVELATION” of The Self. The Meditating “SINGLE EYE” Self “sees” - LITERALLY - The Whole Universe AS one’s OWN SELF. There is no distinction of “this” from “that” in “THERE”. The ILLUSION of OUR SELF as SEPARATE from ALL THAT IS shatters. Revealing, ALL is ONE SELF. This is what YOGIS, SUFIS and FREE-MYSTICS seek and find.

One day, so may Science.

Hence, The Purpose of Our LIFE and The UNIVERSE is to know “WE ARE IT”.

Thereafter, we need “live” IT. Simply put, A SPIRITUAL LIFE.

Happily: EVER-AFTER.

As ONE.

The Mystical Experience: A Question of What's Beyond

Who is A Mystic?

Who seeks End and Answer to The Eternal Mystery. And, Truth, above all.

Whatsoever “IT” may be.

It is The Only “Religion” of Free Mystics.

It’s all that need concern any seeker, spiritualist or scientist. Hence, were a mystic to find some hell, heaven, messiah, angel, god, goddess - after initial/in­termediate mystical “happenings” - as The End Experience; then, that is what he/she shall state boldly, bravely, bare-knuckled.

Yet, this is not what The Happening is in The Final “Knowing”.

However, it would be wrong to say “IT” happens to any voyeuristic, pedantic individual. Mysticism is not The Realm of fools or philosophers but of pious, true seekers.

One’s “inherited” religion has got nothing to do with That Which Is.

But one has to, at the least, be aware and sensitive enough to realize that one must “respect” LIFE for “IT” to, in turn, “honor” the devotee. Which entails that one be A Vegetarian. Non-Vegetarianism is Bad Karma. Rest happens as is one’s Karma.

“That” Which Is has no favorites.

Whose Karma is, gets “IT”.

Yet, no New Truth EVER dawns.

What does is, one finds by one’s Own Self that “One” is The Primordial “Substance” of ALL LIFE. And, that everything and everyone is but ONE and OWN SELF in QUINTESSENCE.

“Happenings” along The Way are innumerable. Yet, in The End is UNITY.

It’s all very scientific, spiritual and surreal.

This is The TRUTH/GOD of FREE MYSTICS.

There’s nothing BEYOND “IT”.

What's Real About the Rapture?

What is The Rapture?

It is The Seeker’s Metaphysical Ascension unto The Realm of Spirit.

The “life” of one’s being, soul/spirit is “ruptured”-“lifted up”-“captured” in Spirit and in Truth, and, “taken” to Realization of The Universal Self.

Ancients in India called it “Vismad” or Wondrous Divine Ecstasy.

It is no “eureka” vision of some “chosen” belief.

Westerners thinking or believing otherwise, do so in ignorance.

This “Divine Rapture” is a commonality; “mundane” terminology, used by Free Mystics/Yogis/Sufis for The Higher Supra-Normal “Happening” in The Metaphysical Realm.

Herein, Spiritual Seeker/Manifested Being/Bodily Human-Form, in Divine Intoxication/Meditative Transcendental Worship, gets “transported”, “rises up” to “meet” The SELF of THAT WHICH IS.

What else happens in The Rapture?

No this-that Messiah or God comes with trumpets and angels!

The Vision of one’s Guru or Authoritative Holy Image of one’s faith is commonly “seen” by mystics of every kith, kin and kind. This virtual but mystical “self-experience” of “lift”-“rise”-“capture” of one’s Self/Consciousness unto “The Seventh Heaven” - Kingdom of God - overwhelms “Baptized”/Initiated Yogi.

Mortified, uninitiated, un-baptized call it “abduction” by aliens!

Visions of innumerable permutations-combinations come-go; until, in The Rapture, Self-Realization dawns. Thence, “I and my Father are One” - a la Jesus, Sufis, Yogis and Free Mystics - is The “Buddha”/Knowing/Awakening.

The End and The Beginning is discovered as One Whole Oneness.

This is What is Real About The Rapture.

Rest is hogwash!

WHO/WHAT IS GOD?

Who/What is God?

"He" is neither Mother nor Father.

This imposition of "personality" over That Which Is as He-She-Creator is the undoing of “blind” bookish lot; yet devoid of The Buddha Happening.

In The Ultimate Reality no human-form, anthropomorphic god exists.

Only faiths of lower spiritual understanding believe in it. This illusory phenomenon dissolves once pre-conditioning of our mind is “overcome” during Mystical/Yogic “Self” Realization.

The Knowing, Buddha/Christ-Hood, is A Universal Experience in Mysticism.

Zillions of “happenings" occur during “Shishya”, Learning Phase in a Seeker’s life. Yet, in The End, as Master, the Universal Truth that dawns upon The Chosen One is identical.

Truth is One.

No your-mine “chosen” belief is “There”!

As Spiritual Scientists, “worthy” devotees of The Divine, we all can “realize” The Ultimate Truth of The Universe. However, only the “hungry”/“thirsty” childlike reverent seekers get That Which Is as a “physical” experience.

Interim visions come-go, conditioned by our inherited/acquired faith or understanding. Yet, at the zenith, as Self-Realization, our Soul/Life Essence discovers its own “Holy” - Father/Mother/Creator - Primordial Self as ONE UNIFIED ONENESS OF ALL EXISTENCE.

All uncertainties, differences sine die. The Ultimate Truth therein is One.

The Self of our “ I “, “life” of our existence, finds it’s Quintessence. It is experienced as Unity; Oneness of All Existence.

This is God.

Yet, it is semantics.

Fools speak.

The Eternal Silence stays “zeroed in”: as Self of All That Is.

Stephen Hawking to God: Your Services Are No Longer Needed; God: You So Do Not Get Who I Am!

Is God dead?

Scientists, unable to find “Him”, as most think “God” is, make us but random dots in a spotless vacuum. As if there is no Divine Intelligence “guiding” The Universe.

So, is ours a God-less Universe?

Cosmologist Physicists are as mistaken as are the simple-minded religious lot believing otherwise. The Big Bang theory is as much a hypothesis as is a “Jealous God” in human form sitting in some illusory heaven up “there”.

Scientists like Stephen Hawkins propagate “total energy of the universe is exactly zero”. Meaning, energy creates its own self etc. Attributing no Intelligent Design behind it; and, hence, no Creator. All is random happening of nothingness.

The Universal Energy Total is Zero. Spirituality agrees with Science.

But it is a “Full” Zero!

Yogis/Free Mystics’ “Buddha” Zero - “Shunya” - is Empty yet Full.

The Universal Consciousness that science fails to “clinically” establish here is very much “There”. In and as The “Zero” of “That” Zorro we simpletons call God!

So, what happens “There”?

The Universal Energy/Force of Life - “Shakti - dissolves unto The Zero of The Immanent “Self”. The “thing” - Observer - becomes The Thing which is No Thing. Yet, is Every Thing. Is All That Is!

This Single Eye sees it’s “ I “ as One - The Self - of All “That” exists.

This Immanent Immortality exists As and In What-So-Ever Is.

Is God!

Arm-chair Scientists neither find “This” nor “That”.

Hence, remain zero in Spirituality.
