Dog Poet Transmitting.......
Greetings my dear friends. Here we are
at Origami again and I feel compelled to continue in the vein of the
most recent radio broadcast concerning self inquiry. We hear a lot of
talk about all kinds of paths to spiritual illumination. Each and
everyone, nearly all of the time, lets you know that their way is the
way. Some of them have been around a long time and some of them just
popped up out of the cosmic toaster. Some of them are fronted by
charismatic leaders and some of them are just doctrine and dogma
driven. Some of them are financial scams. Oh... there are all kinds
of things out there competing for your attention but there is only
one fruitful direction to put your focus on and that is the
undiscovered country of your own being. It is there that the truth of
yourself resides and where all of the answers that you seek are to be
found.
The most important thing to realize is
that you are the thing you seek and all the separation that drives
you, is in pursuit of a unity with your own being. Once you have
achieved this, longing and hunger end. There is only one longing and
only one hunger. We may collectively confuse this with a myriad of
permutations and if you study humanity you will see that they have
identified their primal hunger with any one (and sometimes more) of
all of the options that are out there. In times of material darkness,
the objects of potential satiation are more lustrous and intoxicating
than they have ever been. It is difficult to turn the mind to a
contemplation of that which cannot be seen. We are addicted to
external fixes. We are addicted to the idea that what we are after
lies beyond... somewhere out there. It a sense it is out there
because it is all around you and in every thing but none of it can be
seen in its true nature when viewed as something set apart.
Here is just a brief extract from some
things said by Patanjali. His Yoga Aphorisms is the definitive text
on how to develop supernatural powers of the mind;
“1. Dharana is holding the mind on to
some particular object.
Dharana (concentration) is when the
mind holds on to some object, either in the body, or outside the
body, and keeps itself in that state.
2. An unbroken flow of knowledge in
that object is Dhyana.
The mind tries to think of one object,
to hold itself to one particular spot, as the top of the head, the
heart, etc., and if the mind succeeds in receiving the sensations
only through that part of the body, and through no other part, that
would be Dharana, and when the mind succeeds in keeping itself in
that state for some time, it is called Dhyana (mediation).
3. When that, giving up all forms,
reflects only the meaning, it is Samadhi.
That comes when in meditation the form
or the external part is given up. Suppose I were meditating on a
book, and that I have gradually succeeded in concentrating the mind
on it, and perceiving only the internal sensations, the meaning,
unexpressed in any form — that state of Dhyana is called Samadhi.”
He goes on and on about these things
and about how the ability to restrain 'chitti' or mind stuff leads to
remarkable abilities. I prefer the Alice Bailey translations and I
have read the book many times as I have also read The Kybalion and
others. Personally I am not after powers or anything connected to that side
of things. I am only after a full understanding of the indwelling
self. It is one of the reasons that I admire Ramana Maharshi who came
up with the “Who am I?” mantra.
Of course, if you go by Ramana's
ashram in Tiruvannamalai and you nose around, as I did, you will find
it is run by The Jesuits. It doesn't matter which of the ashrams or
different faiths you inquire after, you are going to find that one of
the black arts cabals has either infiltrated and taken it over or is
working on it as we speak. Head off to any of the Buddhist or Zen
Buddhist monasteries that are sprouting up all over the US and you
will likely find a Zionist Jew with a Buddhist name running the
place. They certainly did a number on The Hare Krishna movement and I
will gladly email a copy of “Monkey on a Stick or The Hare Krishna
Murders” to you. Make sure you have something like a Gmail account
where you can accept a file of around 7 megs.
What I am saying is that this is not
the time to go around looking for some sort of safe haven in some
religious or alleged spiritual fellowship because they are all
suspect. The place to look is within yourself and hopefully you don't
run into some yarmulke wearing entity who has already taken up
residence inside your head (grin). Cast out all thought. Empty your
mind entirely and allow nothing to reside there. Only that which is
intrinsic to you will remain. If you can maintain this emptiness for
the necessary period of time then that which is intrinsic to you will
reveal itself. It will communicate with you. It already does,
whenever you get those hunches and leadings that turn out to be
uncannily accurate. The thing to realize is that your higher self is
trying to talk to you all the time but it is very difficult to hear
it because of all of the extraneous chatter. That chatter will go
away if you drive it from your mind and then stand at the gateway and
prohibit all thought forms from entering into your mind.
There is a great deal of chatter being
generated intentionally by those forces seeking to overwhelm us. The
time is critical and they know it. Their capacity is slipping away.
The clock is running out on them and they know it. They are driven
and compelled to do as much evil as possible before their reign ends.
Even now the avatar is sweeping the inner planes free of their
influence. There is a spiritual war in progress and the agents of the
dark side are seeking to conceal themselves in any available nook and
cranny besides those hiding in plain sight under whatever wrapper of
false definition they are using to display themselves as positive
beings faced with difficult choices when, in fact, they are owned and
operated by The Dark Side. Over recent decades, more and more of our
public figures in every area of enterprise have become thoroughly
compromised and only those so affected are permitted into the public
view. The rare exceptions are marginalized or made to appear deluded
or ineffectual. It's no wonder that the rank and file of humanity
have little clue as to what is taking place around them.
One of the key features of self inquiry
is the certain knowledge that you are powerless to change the world
around you but you have significant power to change yourself and
that, by extension, changes the world around you. Of course there are
people practicing all sorts of Tom Foolery in an attempt to change
the world for better or for worse and they possess the illusion that
its working but often it is working only on their mind and their
perceptions and nothing changes in any essential way. On the one hand
you have them believing in the efficacy of what they do and on the
other hand you have those effected believing that they have been
changed somehow accordingly but underneath all of these appearances
there is the enduring reality and that does not fluctuate except at
the mere touch of the ineffable who causes it to vibrate and manifest
according to its will and ANYONE who appears to be able to do this,
does it only under the authority of the ineffable to the fulfillment
of the will of the ineffable, which is so far reaching that no human
mind can see all the complex woven ends of it and the bright destiny
it is directed toward.
Life is all a play of dancing cards
that demonstrate the roles and activities of that master shuffler and
dealer with all the aces up his sleeve. We are dancing to the music
of what inspires us, whatever that may be and the quality of the tune
we hear is determined by the level of understanding we have,
concerning the truth about ourselves. The more deeply we press into
an awareness of our intrinsic nature, the more we begin to comprehend
the workings of the cosmos and the intentions of the mind behind it.
Of course, we are unable to fully comprehend the workings of that
mind and so our pursuit of understanding leads inevitably to a
greater and greater surrender to the divine, or a more furious and
defiant rebellion and even these directions taken have everything to
do with the will of the ineffable and that is why Jesus said, “Father
forgive them for the know not what they do.” Yes, we play a
conscious part in what happens to us but we never know to what ends
we will be pressed to manifest in the cosmic play because we, all of
us, contain all of the seeds of good and evil within us and that is
why it says, “Lead us not into temptation.” in The Lord's
Prayer.
The more we come to know about
ourselves, the more we share in the command force of the ineffable as
it applies to us and the world around us. We become conscious
servants of the divine and this is why it is said in the Bible that
there is one teaching for the masses and one for the disciples. “Many
are called but few are chosen.”
We are all familiar with the quote by
Nietzsche; “when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes
into you.” One might also say that when you gaze overlong into the
divine, or overlong into yourself, the divine, or your self, gazes
back. Consider the sun and the moon. Everything you need to know you
contain within yourself. It is finding the location that is the
problem. This is why it is said that memory is key.
We have forgotten
the most critical truths about ourselves and they can only be
recovered by the process of self inquiry. We are the thing we seek
and we will find it not only in ourselves but in everyone else once
we accomplish this. There are all kinds of recovered memory. Some of
them are real.
