THE MASTERY
OF YOUR ATTENTION WILL COME
WHEN YOU WILL START SEEING the truth..
Lead me from dreaming to waking.
Lead me from opacity to clarity.
Lead me from the complicated to the simple.
Lead me from the obscure to the obvious.
Lead me from intention to attention. Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am. Lead me from confrontation to wide openness. Lead me to the place I never left, Where there is peace, and peace - The Upanishads 
*note* John C. Lilly John Cunningham Lilly quote: (January 6, 1915 – September 30, 2001) was an American physician, psychoanalyst, psychonaut, philosopher and writer.
He was a pioneer researcher into the nature of consciousness using as his principal tools the isolation tank[1], dolphin communication, and psychedelic drugs, sometimes in combination. He was a member of the Californian counterculture of scientists, mystics and thinkers that arose in the late 1960s and early 70s.(end quote)
He talks about The Center of the Cyclone...marvelous individual...he invented the isolation tank quote"In 1953, he took a post studying neurophysiology with the US Public Health Service Commissioned Officers Corps. At the NIMH in 1954,following the desire to strip away outside stimuli from the mind/brain, he devised the first isolation tank, a dark soundproof tank of warm salt water in which subjects could float for long periods in sensory isolation. Lilly and a research colleague were the first to act as subjects in this research" . As I posted here on http://kriptodanny.blogspot.com/2007/12/from-virus-to-buddha.html For a contemporary shamanic image of what this eternal warfare looks like out in hyperspace, here is how John Lilly perceived the situation from his isolation tank in the 1970s. Note that he couches his observations in the form of a third-person belief system to assert some degree of scientific objectivity over his empirical observations:
Those beings which were close to the subject in complexity-size-time were dichotomized into the evil ones and the good ones. The evil ones … were busy with purposes so foreign to his own that he had many near misses and almost fatal accidents in encounters with them; they were almost totally unaware of his existence and hence almost wiped him out, apparently without knowing it. The subject says that the good ones thought good thoughts to him, through him, and to one another. They were at least conceivably human and humane. He interpreted them as alien yet friendly. They were not so alien as to be completely removed from human beings in regard to their purposes and activities.
Some of these beings … are programming us in the long term. They nurture us. They experiment on us. They control the probability of our discovering and exploiting new science … Discoveries such as nuclear energy, LSD-25, RNA, DNA, etc., are under probability control by these beings. Further, humans are tested by some of these beings and cared for by others. Some of them have programs which include our survival and progress. Others have programs which include oppositions to these good programs and include our ultimate demise as a species. Thus the subject interpreted the evil ones as willing to sacrifice us in their experiments; hence they are alien and removed from us. The subject reported with this set of beliefs that only limited choices are still available to us as a species. We are an ant colony in their laboratory..No more comments..kisses to him...but he forgot to add that we are ants only if not self-realized...if we are...then we became our own masters.and...then,we can too poke them in their eyeballs,the Buddha way..trust me..10 fingers at the time...thus spokenth the mahayogi!..ok..I'll explain more,for the sake of deluded grasshoppers rooming around the wilderness, and munching on cactus wisdom,like coyotes..here is the DEAL..we are part of a complex inter-conditioning thing,which means that NOTHING is apart from a cause/effect..see?..so,we..as species ..believe that we are the paramount of existence..while we are just a bunch of some made up OTHER creatures(like microbes,viruses,worms,etc.)..depending on others(other creatures I mean we need to even digest the food) we eat alot..like fruits ,vegetables and meat..well..GROW a brain..somebody eats on us too,but you don't see it...get realized ,awaken your kundalini,and you'll know my point..Kisses to the grasshoppers!..My love for you will be forever,in the 3 realms..just ask yourself..whom is the one looking thru your body?..and you'll know is me..the loving kripto...and if you don't understand me,then learn italian..kiss:)..In other words..you are not this body,my friends..and you are not your thoughts either..nore your emotions..what you are is this:
THE MASTERY OF YOUR ATTENTION WILL COME WHEN YOU WILL START SEEING THAT IT IS ALL A MYTH THAT UPSETS YOU.JUST THROW IT AWAY..AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE THE ETERNAL LIFE.ONLY THEN YOU WILL FULLY ENJOY YOURSELF BECAUSE YOUR ATTENTION WOULD BE COMPLETELY DRENCHED IN THE BLISS OF YOUR TRUE SELF.-SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI-..but then you have to discover that by your own experience,don't you?..kisses:)

....The Center of the Cyclone
"The center of the cyclone is that rising quiet central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live eternally. Just outside of this Center is the rotating storm of one's own ego, competing with other egos in a furious high-velocity circular dance. As one leaves center, the roar of rotating wind deafens on more and more as one joins this dance. One's centered thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the center only, not outside. One's pushed-pulled driven states, one's anti-Satori modes of functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the center. In the center of the cyclone one is off the wheel of Karma, of life, rising to join the Creators of the Universe, the Creators of us.
Here we find that we have created Them who are Us." -- John C. Lilly

Summary
In this new-age classic of scientific research, Dr. John C. Lilly shares his ground-breaking theory of the interaction between the mind and the brain. Using his personal experiments in solitude, isolation, and confinement, he combines these states with LSD, mysticism, and other catalysts to gain a new understanding into the inner spaces of the human consciousness.
Dr. Lilly details his experiences in researching the far-out spaces and demonstrates how he programs such spaces and experiences through his method of self-metaprogramming.
Displaying a frankness that is refreshingly objective, The Center of the Cyclone offers a rational scientific explanation of how the mind works in those special states of consciousness.

Lilly's Law
"In the province of the mind, what is believed to be true is true or becomes true, within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind, there are no limits."
