*note* quote "Kalinka" (Russian: Калинка) is a Russian song written in 1860 by the composer and folklorist Ivan Larionov and first performed in Saratov as part of a theatrical entertainment that he had composed. Soon it was added to the repertory of a folk choral group.
The refrain of the song refers to the kalinka, which is the snowberry bush..photo here:
It has a speedy tempo and light-hearted lyrics."
No more comments..kisses to Kalinka,my little snowberry of mine!.I love you!
ps..it is interesting,that from the view-point of the Absolute,we are all Kalinka..the snowberry.
If we'd have NOT the marvelous kripto wisdom,whom in his amazing patience loves all..(and spanks few..every now and then..well..not too much!:) )we'd be ALL the blowberry,not the snowberry...anyway,lovely song,hope you enjoy it with your wisdom ears(use those muscles..and trust yourself..the power is within yoursef)

“Well, this interesting. The universe is behind me and it seems to have transformed into a curved space, which I am on the edge of. I can see the curved space and just a little bit on the other side of it. On the other side is just a white light that I am encountering.”
“Keep going.”
“OK. When I cross over, my universal body which goes throughout the universe is lost. I must leave it behind. The universe becomes a ball surrounded by light on all sides. I am the light and the ball of the universe slips into the distance, becoming a small space before me. This is amazing. In the center of this universe appears a bright star and somehow I know that is me, but I am undifferentiated light totally outside of that universe.”
“Do you know me?”
“Do I know you? …...I am you.”
".kiss to him:)
ps..Vairochana Buddha is quote"Vairocana (also Vairochana or Mahāvairocana) is a celestial Buddha who is often (e.g. in the Flower Garland Sutra) interpreted as the Bliss Body of the historical Gautama Buddha; he can also be referred to as the dharmakaya Buddha and the great solar Buddha. In Sino-Japanese Buddhism, Vairocana is also seen as the embodiment of the Buddhist concept of shunyata or emptiness. In the conception of the Five Wisdom Buddhas of Vajrayana Buddhism, Vairocana is at the center. His consort in Tibetan Buddhism is White Tara (for every dhyani Buddha there is an affiliated female Buddha in the Tibetan Tradition). pss..about arahat please checkthis link nice explaining from the Wanderling ..quote"The Arahat is the "Perfected One" who has overcome The Three Poisons of Desire, Hatred and Ignorance. At the end of the present life, he is no longer reborn. In other words, he is finally freed from the suffering of existence in the cycle of birth and death, and attains Nirvana.
When a person realizes that there is no lasting happiness and freedom whenever he may be reborn within the cycle of birth and death, he will strive to attain the goal of Nirvana. The way of the Arhat is the path leading to this goal.. "

........... Vairochana Buddha and the Bored Arhat
The Arhat entered into the fourth Dhyana, leaving all pain and pleasure behind, leaving the knowledge of self and the world behind. He withdrew from the container of consciousness. He withdrew from the earth. He withdrew from the sun. He withdrew from this Buddha world, the galaxy, and saw infinite Buddha worlds in every direction. He traversed through those infinite Buddha worlds thinking to find the end.
The galaxies sped past him at incredible speeds making him dizzy, and after a time the realization occurred, “There is no end to these Buddha worlds. I have seen one Buddha world. I have seen one sun and one planet and all the living beings there, and it is everywhere the same. I am not trapped by any physical realm. The mechanism which causes transmigration can not touch me here, and I can go anywhere and do anything, but why bother? I have seen these infinite Buddha worlds before, and now I am bored with this. Although I have freedom from all existence, this has again become useless. I am still trapped within this universe. There is nothing I want to do here. I need some help.” At this moment Vairochana Buddha whispered to the Arhat, “Vairochana.” The Arhat was stunned by this and joyous that help might arrive. “It is good you are bored with this universe and the endless Buddha worlds. Some Arhats rejoice in this power and assume they should exercise their power to save all living beings. They think they have arrived at Nirvana, and in delusion they begin interfering. Do you know why they do that?”
“I am not sure.”
“If a man were to work hard, save his money diligently, and purchase a new home for his family, would not that man be overwhelmed the first day living in that house?” “Yes, I think such a man would be joyous at such a fulfillment, at such success.” “And what would he begin doing with all his possessions? What would he do with his new home? “Such a man would take over the house, and make it completely his. He would begin by cleaning. He would kill any bugs and spiders there. Remove all the dirt and clean everything. Then he would take possession of every room, move his belongings into each room, and arrange everything the way he wanted it.”
“Yes. Just so when new Arhats have come to the universal home, they are overjoyed with their success and fulfillment. Such new Arhats think this is their new universal home, and try to take over this universal home. First they want to clean it. They want to kill all the bugs and spiders they see. Krishna was such a new great Arhat and he wanted to clean his new universal home of all the bugs and spiders who were there, so he killed the asuras mercilessly.
Having such success he became 10,000 Krishna bodies, and took control of the earth with his power. In every room he moved his belongings and arranged everything to his satisfaction. Such is the desire of the new Arhat, when he enters into his new universal home for the first time. What would happen to that Arhat if entered into that same home every day for 100 years, every life for 1,000 lives?”
“I think that Arhat would slowly feel bored with that experience. He had killed all the bugs and spiders for so long that almost none came there. He had arranged everything the way he wanted it long ago and there were no new changes to make. He would be able to see the results of his work and decide if it was good. Personally, I feel that the Arhat would find that his work was done, and that his work was not that meaningful in the end. You arrange the furniture 1000 times in different ways and it is the same furniture, and it becomes repetitious. Then it all seems meaningless to keep shuffling and reshuffling, to what end does he do that?”
“Yes, exactly. Everything has been done again and again and now it is not only boring, but also seen as a waste of time and an interference. What was it all for? Finally this Arhat grows tired of interfering and gives up. He sees his mistake and stops. Then he is stuck. He has caused himself to penetrate the world so many times with so many bodies to fix things the way he wants, and now he is shocked by the insight of his failure. He regrets his interference. When you first came into this new universal home, what did you do?”
“I was slow to understand at first. I did not understand the extent of the new home. It took me some time to get the lights on and see where I was. I began to search all around and was amazed by what I saw, but when I saw the home one time, I said to myself, “Maybe this is extremely profound, but it I am bored with this place. It has no meaning for me.” “You did not have the desire to take over this new home that you were given?” “No. I never had that thought.”
“Why?” “I am not sure. It never occurred to me to interfere. I was not so excited or impressed. It was not new to me. If I understand your analogy, I must have seen this universal home 1000 times, and I am already tired of it.” “Yes my son. In this body you saw it for the first time, but you have seen it more than 1000 times, and you already know it is not your home. You have lived there before, but now you have no desire to live there again. You immediately knew it had no meaning.”
“This is strange to hear. I am a little confused. How could a person see this more than 1000 times? If the mechanism of reincarnation is broken, there is not supposed to be a way to get another life. Isn't that true?”
“Yes, if the mechanism for reincarnation is broken, then returning to a human life is not possible. But when an Arhat sees this new universal home, he is like the man who has his first new home. He decides to clean it up, take possession of it, and arrange everything to his liking. All along the way beings take a small state and think it is the ultimate state, so he comes again and again. When you came to this place, you said I don't want it. Why?” “I know this is not my home.”
“How? When you were born, you knew this life was worthless, and couldn't decide whether you wanted to live or die, and that indecision kept you alive. When you were six years old, you had a small injury to your toe, and you said to yourself, “Oh, so this is how it is. You injure your body forever until you die.” You had a dream of your future, and quit your quest for money to search for the meaning of life. How could these these truths come to you?”
“I see what you mean. Something knew these things, and then my mind reflected what that something knew. They were not something I learned. They were not recorded in my brain, but my brain received the information. Is this what you mean?” “Yes, exactly. Now if an Arhat sees the new universal home for the first time and instantly knows it is not his home and finds it boring, what is that something, which knows that?” “That is a difficult question.”
“If we had dinner together, and I took you home, and we entered the door, and you looked around, and said, “This is not my home. We have made a mistake. I live somewhere else.” What does this mean? You were born into a body, and you immediately knew this was not your home. You had an injury, and you knew about life and death. Then you saw the quest for money was not your life and sought the truth about life. Now you see your universal home, and you are bored, and immediately know this is not your home. Who knows these things?”
“OK, maybe I understand. This life I knew things not in my brain. I struggled with meditation and truth. I still do. I have some accomplishment, and I immediately think, “How boring”, then who I am beyond this one body and life is already beyond this universal body, or home. Are you saying that who I discovered I am, is again not me. This universe is not me? And I live somewhere else, or I am already someone else?”
“Yes, you are someone else, and your home is somewhere else. Do you understand? I am using very common words to describe something else. The words themselves are like an analogy, and they only indicate what I am saying.” “And this is why I am bored with all this?”
“Yes.”
“What you are saying is something totally amazing, and you lead me to striking conclusions, but I am also stuck is this home that is not mine. Can you show me how to find out who I am, and where my home is?” “OK. I am going to indicate a place in space and you try to go there... can you see where I am indicating?”
“Yes, I will try to go there. Oh, this is strange. When I go through space, I miss your point, and I know I miss it. It is like there is no way to go there. Then I go back to reach it, and although the universe is in every direction, I have to move in a different direction to reach the point you are indicating, but I do reach it!” “Excellent. Now keep going in that direction, and tell me what is happening.”
“Well, this interesting. The universe is behind me and it seems to have transformed into a curved space, which I am on the edge of. I can see the curved space and just a little bit on the other side of it. On the other side is just a white light that I am encountering.” “Keep going.”
“OK. When I cross over, my universal body which goes throughout the universe is lost. I must leave it behind. The universe becomes a ball surrounded by light on all sides. I am the light and the ball of the universe slips into the distance, becoming a small space before me. This is amazing. In the center of this universe appears a bright star and somehow I know that is me, but I am undifferentiated light totally outside of that universe.”
“Do you know me?”
“Do I know you? …...I am you.”

*note* every now and then..as cruising the 10 realms of the universe..I find a pearl..shinning..like a thousands sun they shine,this is how I find them..now..this guy is good.His name is Mr. Eric Mitchell(Sukha), Jhana Teacher (got his name not from his site,but from this link ..he never gives up his name..but I found him..Am I good or what?..love the mahayogi! ..so great and so humble..I love myself!!!)
Any way..as I was saying...he is a true pearl. All my life I was waiting for a true buddhist to explain jhana in yogi terms,and in advainta terms...you see..if I do buddhist meditation is useless..since my kundalini is already up,and there is no meaning ..that's why I like this kind of hardcore meditators like Eric Mitchell.This guy meditated for over 40 years...we have to respect that...and that's why I post some wisdom from him(careful..this guy is real...)
But I dedicate a song to Eric before I'll post his wisdom...
Kisses to him,in the sound of silence...
And a poem..Eric my good man/see the shadow,surely you can/it is right between your eyes/you go up..then eat french-fries/
So much for my poem..nobody could understand it anyway...kisses:)so spokenth the mahayogi,while kissing Eric between his eyes...(the Sukha..as he wants to be called..why anybody would want to be called Suck-ha is beyond me..but anyway..must be some meaning for Eric Michell..but the name sucks)_added by danny
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach to you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
in the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence

How to Become a First Stage Arahant
Download PDF Booklet
What is the “Stream”? When you enter the first Jhana several changes occur. Primarily the gross material form of the body is transformed into it's essential nature, which is felt as bliss and pleasure. There is liberation from the fetters caused by the perception of a gross material body. The scholars and the believers love the body/mind, and not knowing the “Stream”, only have empty words and methods. The Jhana practitioners experience and know the Stream of bliss and pleasure. They abide there and have no need to quote scriptural references for what they know is happening in their life. They can feel the Stream in themselves and see the “Stream” in others.
When the gross material body is transformed by First Stage Jhana, the body becomes full of bliss and pleasure. Bliss, or Rapture, is a quick flash of ecstasy somewhere in the body. Pleasure is the steady blissful feelings throughout the body. These feelings are the result of the transformation of the gross material body cognition.
First Stage Jhana is also a transformation of consciousness. With this transformation the nature of consciousness begins dissolution into it's essential nature. When this happens the light of the essential nature begins to appear within the consciousness of the individual, and the awareness expands into that light. Without Jhana transformation there is no light exuded from the body. With Jhana there is transformation and a corona of light begins to form around the head. Sensitive individuals and fellow Jhana practitioners are able to see the presence of the corona, providing the evidence of initial Jhana. This light is the Stream of divinity, from which all stages of the Arahant depend.
When the awareness expands into the light created by Jhana, the practitioner also experiences changes in the limits of the mind and body. Sometimes people feel that the edges of the physical body have melted or dissolved into the air. They may feel an energy at the edges of their body, or feel the physical form has expanded into the air. Sometimes people feel that their consciousness has expanded beyond the edges of their head. They may feel themselves outside of their head moving into the air around their head. Many people feel they are behind and above their heads. Because of this expanding light and new awareness, they may get psychic impressions, visions, and experiences. This are the results of Entering the Stream of Buddha's light.
The First Jhana is relatively easy to enter, but is rarely done. This is because of our complete dependence and attachment to thinking, mental images, and knowledge. The power of delusion created by knowledge and thinking is virtually inexhaustible, and the dream world of the mind is the greatest danger for Jhana Stream Entry.
Whenever you try a meditation method, you will find that they activate thinking, thus enhancing the very thing they say is the problem, so the methods never produce Jhana Stream Entry. Soon the method devolves into a system of thoughts, images, and directed day-dreams. Let me give an example. A Vipassanna teacher says to follow 5 precepts to begin calming the mind, then spend 3 days watching the breath to control an unruly mind. This immediately shows they are activating the mind with their method. If they experience an unruly mind, and need 3 days of watching breath to help, they are on the wrong path and have activated the mind, mind consciousness.
You can deactivate the mind in a second, if you don't use thinking consciousness. Listen to some soft music carefully, becoming engrossed in it, and you will discover your thinking has gone by the wayside. You are still conscious, but the thinking process is deactivated. Thinking is not unruly! It is only unruly, when you use the mind to calm the mind. Then it is very unruly, because you are forcing the mind into action. For instance, have you ever been engrossed in a TV program, and found yourself saying, “Oh my mind is so unruly, I cant watch TV”? Has an artist ever said, “My mind is so unruly that I can't paint?” I think not.
So why is there this passion for thinking. Within thought is the image of Self, Me. This is the passion, the passion for replaying the image of Me and world, which is embedded in each thought. For the artist, he gets lost in his work. He forgets himself as he creates. As he creates, he does not have an unruly mind. When you are on vacation and see incredible vistas in the distance and feel awe, you are not plagued by an unruly mind, but when you sit down to meditate and activate the mind, suddenly you have an unruly mind. This is not meditation. It is thinking.
So if you are serious about understanding Buddhism and the spiritual results of Buddha Jhana, you will give up this game of the mind trying to overcome the mind, or the ego attaining some altered state. There are 6 consciousnesses: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind. The mind consciousness is the least usable for meditation as it makes images and dreams, is the source of ego, and is too dynamic and changeable. Any other consciousness has less problems. The mind, thinking, can create the delusion that it is conscious of itself. The mind accumulates memories of it's investigations into itself. Then the mind creates a dream, a gestalt, of what meditation is. In that dream of meditation, is created the delusion that you are aware of the mind, have gained and continue to gain knowledge of the mind. This is why this method fails, why it is so popular, and why it always fails to produce any liberation.
Hearing can not create the delusion that you can hear hearing. You simply hear. Seeing is automatic, the eyes function, but there is no seeing your seeing. You simply see. Feeling is just feeling, and does not develop the delusion that feeling is feeling feeling. You simply feel. This is why mental meditation is so dangerous and so popular. The ego is enhanced, nothing is lost, we remain in control, and we feel comfortable with our knowledge, but we are lost in delusion, and nothing changes.
Moreover, what is it that causes the transformation of consciousness back into light? The artist has stopped thought and become engrossed in eye or ear consciousness, but he does not enter Jhana. Eye consciousness does not transform eye consciousness. It is light which transforms consciousness, just as a shadow disappears when light is shined upon it, or the darkness of a room disappears when the light is turned on. It is this light which creates the corona around the head of a person who enters the First Stage Jhana and becomes a First Stage Arahant, as the body image is transformed from materiality into a vapor or cloud, just as the sun's light penetrates the clouds in the sky.
So First Stage Jhana is a simple, natural process when done correctly, when the mind is not activated, and knowledge is not sought. This light is already operating continually, just as the sun is always shining. What creates the shadow of materiality is the mind activating and creating the image of gross materiality. This light would normally illumine the vaporous clouds and penetrate them, but the mental fabrications create a three dimensional dream world and we ignore the light and believe and enhance the dream. It is as if on a cloudy night, a huge searchlight is pointed at the sky and the only clouds are seen everywhere.
Your life is just this process. The light is always illuminating and penetrating the clouds of the world. This illumination is the concept we call life or existence. The cloud of this human machine and it's 6 consciousnesses are made visible by this light. The five sense consciousnesses are analyzed and evaluated my the mind, which generates a three dimensional dream world vision, in which you exist as a body/mind individual in a colorful world with space/time. The knowledge of this world vision is so powerful, that we wholeheartedly believe and think we live there. The light allows visibility of the cloud of this human machine, and the mind generates it's own space-time me-world dream. This is life. It is also the dream of death, reincarnation, heaven and hell.
So where is this light, how do we get to it and allow it to vaporize consciousness, and allow us to become a First Stage Arahant? In a seriously real looking dream, it will be difficult to define clearly what is outside the dream world, but there must be some clue. The clue is very faint but it's result is your attention or focus, but this is still part of the dream. More refined is your ability to witness, and even more refined is your Intent. The words are difficult to find which will allow you to see the exit strategy to the dream world. But in my experience, Intent is a fairly accurate description. Intent comes first, then illumination or light, which is the ability to witness, which gives visibility to the machine-like world. These events happen long before consciousness occurs, so don't try to be conscious of them. They happen before the dream world is created.
This is where it gets crazy. Mara, the meditators and intelligent teachers of meditation, who have mind dream activating techniques, will read this and say to themselves, “Yes, this is what I am already doing and teaching!” They will incorporate these ideas into their dream world as soon as they hear it and agree. They will juxtaposition time so that they think they already see this happening in their meditation in the past. The ideas may become part of their standard teaching jargon. This is the power of delusion, Mara. Yes, I believe Mara, who has destroyed Buddhism before, will again try to destroy Buddha Jhana again. Luckily the light of Jhana will be visible to those who have entered Jhana, and there is hope.
Recently I saw a meditation teacher speaking incredibly well about meditation and Jhana, as if he had great experience. He had a Phd and was very intelligent. Then I saw him meditate, and all he did was grind away with his mind until the left side of his head started to bulge out and looked like it might explode. His students did the same thing. While he talked Jhana, and quoted the Buddha Suttas well, the game was the same, activating the mind and pressuring the brain for insight and knowledge. Thus no light engulfed his consciousness, and no Jhana developed. First Jhana people can see Jhana light in others, and will know whether a teacher is cleverly parroting ideas or has entered Jhana. The power of Mara and delusion should not be encouraged, I think.
So lets take an example of Intent, witness, and attention so we can get some hint of how it operates. Blankly stare in front of you. Pause and wait, staring blankly. Suddenly one object is chosen without you doing anything. This is Intent. If you watch closely, at that moment of Intent there is no consciousness of anything. Then illumination occurs creating visibility and witnessing occurs. Consciousness has not yet arrived. Your eyes move to whatever object is witnessed. Attention and focus occur, and over the next second or two knowledge slowly builds and then consciousness occurs. You now have the feeling of you seeing an object and you have identified it with knowledge.
First Jhana requires this cycle to break after attention and focus, at a minimum, before knowledge builds and consciousness occurs. The eyes may move involuntarily and First Jhana will not be disabled. In this example we will use body consciousness to allow Jhana. This does not exclude ear, eye, nose, tongue consciousnesses in that order of preference, but as the first Jhana described by Buddha is creating ecstasy in the body, he is using body consciousness, or feeling as the doorway.
1.So completely relax the mind and body, and
2.Begin witnessing the feeling of the air in the nostrils.
(a)We are short circuiting everything after the witness.
(b)Your eyes may move in that direction involuntarily, but don't try to look, just witness the feelings blankly.
3.Relax the breath, and witness the feelings.
(a)The feelings start to change and enhance
(b)The feelings becomes more sensitive. Maybe they are hot, cold, dry, but it becomes more sensitive.
4.Relax and Witness the pleasure feeling.
(a)Soon the feelings generate a pleasurable feeling. This is the doorway.
When you witness feelings of pleasure or rapture, you have opened the door. The light of illumination has converted some small part of consciousness from materiality into it's true nature. Now we are ready to continue into Jhana.
1.Witness the head, gently mixing pleasure with the head. (3 times)
2.Witness the right shoulder, gently mixing pleasure with the right shoulder. (3 times)
3.Witness the right arm, mixing pleasure with the right arm. (3 times)
4.Witness the right torso, mixing pleasure with the right torso. (3 times)
5.Witness the right leg, mixing pleasure with the right leg. (3 times)
6.Witness the head, gently mixing pleasure with the head. (3 times)
7.Witness the left shoulder, gently mixing pleasure with the left shoulder. (3 times)
8.Witness the left arm, mixing pleasure with the left arm. (3 times)
9.Witness the left torso, mixing pleasure with the left torso. (3 times)
10.Witness the left leg, mixing pleasure with the left leg. (3 times)
11.Witness from the head to the base of the spine, mixing pleasure from the head to the base of the spine. (10 or more times)
Each step of this process is to be repeated, until each step produces rapture and pleasure in that part of your body. The rapture and pleasure experienced should be very extreme, such that you may find it difficult to sit, stand, or keep your eyes open. You may need someone to read it to you.
You should soon feel the edges of the body melt or expand, and you may sense the self just outside the head as the witness expands into the corona of light around the head. Many such feelings can happen. If you get nothing from the technique, you have activated the mind somehow and are thinking, not witnessing. If you followed the instructions carefully, relaxed, and broke the connection after the focus/attention and a spontaneous eye movement, only witnessing the feeling, you will get rapture and pleasure in every part of your body spontaneously.
Now you have entered the First Jhana, and to confirm your accomplishment, you should find a Jhana teacher who can see Jhana and confirm your light of Jhana and to what extent it has expanded.
Now the advanced question needs to be answered. Have you entered the First Jhana or are you a First Stage Arahant. You have Entered the Stream of Buddha Light, but do you have the attainment? Have you graduated? It is like going to someone's house for dinner. You had great food and feel satisfied. If you left the house after eating, you have visited the First Jhana. If you stay in the house, and can always be satisfied, and never leave, you are a First Stage Arahant.
May everyone find great happiness and success.
My best,
Sukha

Sahaja yoga is just bliss
The inner joy,the one you miss
Sahaja yoga is above
The petty struggles..it's just love
It doesn't make you drink more beer
Your mind becomes so crispy clear
It is above the confrontation
It is about emancipation
It is your spirit shining though
Your heart,your eyes..your fingers too
It is with self a love affair
You breathe the joy ,not only air
You are a rainbow butterfly
You raise your wings..and go high..high..
You are alone and yet collective
Whatever you do..you're protected
You are reminded who you are
The God Almighty's sparkling star
My dear friend,the life is short
Don't let your soul become too old
Just feel the sunshine..it's not cold!!
Beyond beliefs..open your eyes
To inner kingdom's paradise!!!

*note* interesting song I found..if I had a million dollars...lovely..listen,I'll explain a couple things here:
1..all are mental projections(the whole universe)
2...the only difference between your mental projections and the universe is that you don't realize the unity of it,otherwise you'll be creating universes also
3...you already ARE creating your universe..on a small scale
4..what YOU believe and imagine and put energy on it..either becomes true,or becomes friction between your truth and the others truth(and here I mean the personal,collective,global,universal,universes,and beyond...)..but is not the conscious ego whom projects,but your subconscious...so if YOU want REALLY..really to know what you've being projecting,just look at your life.Remember that what you don't know inside yourself,not only it manifests outside,but it might bite you.This is what I call ,,division,, in being...if you believe that your life itself depends of your ,,imaginings ,, and,,power of now,, concentrations...think again.Life never needs you,but you need it...really..do NOT confuse the imagination with power.
5..first of all..you are here to experience..experience what?..this is the question I've asked when the truth was revealed to me,the mighty kripto mahayogi...when I went,,poof,,..in the light,and I was the light..and I was everybody..time and space and this and that were gone ...and me and you were gone,baby..gone like the coyote on the god's playground..and only light was..trust me.
This is a true story which completely changed me...when I passed my hand of light thru the tree..and the tree and the forest was me..as light...I started to laugh so hard that the gods trembled in heavens..believe me..THE UNIVERSE TREMBLED
...in awwww..couple weeks after that I could still see the people as shadows...light was inside them,and the shadow was their soul...all empty..you have no idea of the pain I feel when I see shadows ..that time I knew what Jesus was feeling...and I recalled a passage from the bible,,My people are lost for lack of knowledge,,..but imagine that pain when you are everybody...story of my life!!.be aware that I am the only mahayogi in sahaja yoga tradition to report a material de-dublation( yes..I made a double of myself)..and they were so scared(my father) that he called the tv station saying I have appeared in flesh...talked to me..then I was gone...they were really upset about it..what a bunch of empty souls....all I did was energy-matter transfer ...why you ask why?..because I wanted that's why... why ?..you thought you are the body matter?..you ARE the pure spirit I say...believe the mahayogi..and that is a matter of concentration,not realization of your true being..believe me ...when I see masters show powers I want to puke..for none of them did what I did..show me your powers,punks!all are illusions anyway,but do what I did...then we talk...I even met a guy named Bill Bodri (from meditation expert site)and he didn't recognize me..I talked to him in emails and he was really not respectful at all ..I was explaining him about Tao and he was busy explaining me that is Not tao...what was the point of even talking to him,I pondered....not even trying to know..since he knows everything...only one man and woman did...are you the one,my friend?..time will tell,indeed.. Imagine if I can do this in the body,remote or astral is a joke to me..ponder,grasshoppers...kisses:)
6..You are here to experience yourself..remember that the power whom created the universe is in you..to know you are loved is the mark of faith..to know you are the love is the mark of being(realization)..to know you know is the mark of mahayogis..
7..ponder about this..and meditate..you are a speck of dust,but you have the power of creation..you are on earth..that rotates around the sun..that rotates around the galaxy..that rotates around the universe...that universe rotates around other universes..ponder..what can 1 million dollars change the fact that you are not happy..now..in this present ?
8..look inside...inside you...is the spirit..why don't you believe me,the mahayogi?..I tell you the truth..I tell you are a powerful,lovely..beyond imagination being....the idea is that you TOOK the separation as truth...for love is one...and is unity..ponder..grasshoppers....!! .you find your own guru inside ,says the mighty humble kripto!
9..if you know what I'm saying..you figured out the secret of life itself...and I will love you forever..otherwise....I will love you forever in my book ..is it called,,The love book of kripto sage,written on the year of the Wisdom Muscle,on the 3th day of fasting on carrots,,..long name,but read the book..is on Amazon.com
10..I love you..always did...in the 3 realms(and there is no other realms,other then matter,form,and formless ..believe the mahayogi..I tell you the truth.(well...the 3th realm separates in 10 dimensions..but that should not bother you...stay in this realm for now)
11..there is one more realm,the Nirvana..but I am not there,so I can't explain about it..but I assume is a vibratory consciousness in the 3 realms..when I get there,I'll tell you.But even IF I'd be there I won't tell you,for how many grasshoppers could want it?..all they want is food,survival,power and sex..and a nice coffin when they drop dead...whom wants the Nirvana?..I have busted my wisdom muscles to explain to the grasshoppers in this blog the secrets of the universe..what do I get?..then again,whom SAID that I'd need anything?..maybe I should just close this blog,and leave you all alone..see if you find a wiser guy then me on the net..but for the sake of the grasshoppers I will be here.If it was for me..I'd be gone,baby..gone like the wind..but the secrets must be explained,see?..so I will do my best..ok?
12..kiss..thus spokenth the mahayogi

*note* nice article form John Van Auken,aboutEdgar Cayce He also wrote a nice article about the7 churches of revelation of John. . in that post,looks like Van Auken explains that''In Patanjali’s arrangement, the crown chakra is the highest center in the body, the kundalini having risen up the spine, moved through the brain to the brow, and culminated at the opening of the crown. In Revelation 3:11, the Spirit actually mentions the “crown” in reference to this center. In Cayce’s arrangement, the energy flows up the spine to the base of the brain, then to the center of the brain, where the pineal gland is located. Stimulating the pineal opens this crown chakra.''
If we fully awaken this center, then the Self promises to make us “a pillar in the temple of My God” and we will “never go out from it again.” The Spirit will also write the name of God, God’s city, and the Spirit’s new name upon us.
Opening of the crown chakra is also associated with experiencing the Holy Spirit. How did the Holy Spirit appear among the disciples? In the form of tongues of fire on the tops of their heads, above the soft spot. The event is described in Acts 2:2-4: “Suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent, rushing wind, and it filled the whole house. There appeared tongues as of fire and it sat above each one of them. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit.” Prior to this experience, at the Last Supper, Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit upon the disciples and explained, “The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send ... he will teach you all things.”
In the early times of the Hopi, legend says that some of the people strayed and stopped cooperating with the Creator. Others remained loyal and at-one with the Creator. To these the “Great Nephew” appeared, telling those that were still seeking to cooperate and that they were to be a Chosen People to inhabit a new world that he was about to create. He told them that the center on the tops of their heads would guide them to this new world. This inner wisdom would give them the sight to see a certain cloud which they would follow by day and a certain star which they would follow by night. It is fascinating how similar this part of the Hopi legend is to that of the Israelites. Recall how the Lord told the Israelites that they were to be a Chosen People, and led them out from among the others to a promised land, instructing them that His presence would be with them in a cloud by day and a column of fire by night.
When the great Nephew had finished instructing the Hopi Chosen People, all over the First World the Chosen People disappeared. Their villages were empty. The houses, temples, and fields all empty. Many of those left behind called out to them, “Where are you going?” To which the Chosen Ones replied, “We are following the cloud and the star.” The others laughed and said, “We see no cloud or star.” The Chosen People explained to them, “This is because you have lost your inner vision that came from the tops of your heads.”
The top of the head is the crown chakra, a most important spiritual center. Cayce identifies it with “the mount,” and states that only those who have experienced “the rejuvenation in the mount” may know the truth and enter fully into the Creator’s presence to receive the resulting guidance. He goes on to say that as this center is awakened and our soul’s memories return to consciousness, stating that this event is what is referred to when Jesus said “The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things....” -John 14:25
Let’s ignite again our crown chakra. Let’s ascend to the mount of higher consciousness. Let’s open the soft spot, through which our soul first entered this body, and receive the inner vision, the inner guidance. The Hopi prophecy says that soon a new stage of life will begin, a stage in which only those who are open at the tops of their heads will be able to hear and see and know the way.(end quote)
What is very curious is that Cayce did NOT take the 7th chakra as the crown(top of the head)..
Let me quote about it.."THE CHURCH OF LAODICEA
Seventh Center Pituitary Gland Third-Eye Chakra
Finally, the Spirit arrives at the highest center in the body. The aspect of our spiritual self that is in this center is “the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the Beginning of the creation of God.” This is the master gland of the body. But the Spirit is upset with this center because it is “neither cold nor hot.” Because it is lukewarm about the spiritualization process, the Spirit is ready to “spit you out of my mouth.” This center says that it is rich and needs nothing, but the spiritual self challenges that it is actually “wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked” (harkening back to the original sin in the Garden, where Adam and Eve hid from God because they were naked). Amazingly, this center has no redeeming qualities and no virtue to acknowledge. The Spirit gives none. This center is stagnant and lukewarm, contributing nothing to the overall spiritualization of the body. The Spirit therefore warns it to get truth forged in the fires of the Spirit, white garments of purity that its nakedness will be clothed, and eye salve to anoint its eyes to see the real truth. However, in a backhanded way, the Spirit acknowledges its love for this center, saying: “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline.” If this center will rise up and conquer, then “I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.”
Cayce’s readings identify this center as the third eye, on the forehead. Almost all yoga books identify the third eye as the sixth chakra and the crown as the seventh. When Cayce was asked about this during a reading,his reply was that he did not care what others were saying, but he was giving the correct arrangement.
But the real importance of this center is that it is lukewarm in most people and needs to be enlivened with a higher ideal with the energy of the life force combined with the Holy Spirit. The Egyptians considered the eye, the single all-seeing eye, to be one of the highest images of God. To awaken this center’s true nature and bring illumination to the whole of the body and mind, this center must again find enthusiasm for the quest. It is like a dying ember and needs the breath of the Holy Spirit upon it to re-ignite its fire."(click here for the full post about it) from Van Auken.
When we look around, we see multiplicity, diversity, and separateness. You are there. I am here. Your thoughts are yours; mine are mine. Oneness is not evident. Yet, from Edgar Cayce’s trance-like connection to the Universal Consciousness, he saw and taught oneness: “The first lesson ... should be ONE - One - One - ONE; Oneness of God, oneness of man’s relations, oneness of force, oneness of time, oneness of purpose, ONENESS in every effort -- Oneness - Oneness!” For Cayce, our thoughts were not just ours! In fact, he could tell exactly what we had been thinking because our thoughts left an impression upon the Universal Consciousness. And he could “read” these impressions. Thoughts for him were “things.” During a reading he had difficulty determining if you or I had actually done something or just thought about doing it, because our thoughts made as strong an impression upon the Collective Consciousness as our actions! That’s a scary thought -- oops, I just made another impression upon the Collective Consciousness! Cayce was concerned that we all grasp the implications of this unavoidable oneness.
Is it possible that everyone and everything is a part of some unseen Collective, some indivisible Whole within which all the multiplicity exists, and each affects the composition of this Collective? Cayce says yes: “Not only God is God, but self is a part of that oneness.” In several readings Cayce pressed us to simply believe this and live as if it were true! In this way we would come to know that it is indeed true. “Let this, my children, be the lesson for you: The intent in relating to each and every individual should be to bring forth that best element in each, in ONENESS of purpose, in oneness of spirit, in oneness of mind, towards each and every one that you contact -- for the individuals, in the final analysis, are one.” In some manner that we don’t readily perceive, all the individuals we meet and interact with each day, including ourselves, are one.
These are hard teachings to understand and harder to live by. We’ve all heard the admonition, “think before we speak,” but this level of oneness would suggest that we need to “think before we think!” Does thinking negative thoughts about another person actually affect that person at some unseen level? Do these negative thoughts make a recording upon a Collective Consciousness, a recording that someone like Cayce can read? Ancient Hinduism included the concept of an Akasha, an etheric film that records all thoughts, all words, all actions from the first OM of creation until the last OM of silence again. Nothing is lost. Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is unknowable. Watching Cayce give readings on the activities of celestial godlings who lived before the Earth even existed certainly suggests that nothing is forgotten or lost or unknowable. While his body was on the couch and his conscious mind was for all intents and purposes asleep, his deeper mind could tell us about a long forgotten event in our early childhood that still affects us today, or an ancient past life of our soul that influences our outer self’s feelings in this present life. In some readings he could see a person’s house and what they were doing as the reading was about to begin, such as: “Yes, we have the red mail box. We are entering the house. She is in the bedroom praying.”
In the 1960s and ‘70s, when meditation was taking hold in this country, meditators began to speak of experiencing a sense of oneness with all of life when they reached deeper levels in their meditation. When questioned about this, all they could say was that at some moment in their meditation all life seemed connected. But the gap between this inner meditative feeling and our outer sensory perception is a chasm. There is simply no outer sensory corroboration for such a position. Oneness is an inner perception that defies outer evidence. Apparently, oneness has to be experienced firsthand in order to overcome all the outer contradictions to its existence. And short of rare miraculous epiphanies, meditation appears to be the best way to perceive the unseen oneness. Even Jesus had trouble making the oneness argument with his disciple Philip at the Last Supper; finally conceding that if he could not believe Jesus’ oneness with the Father and that Philip had therefore known the Father by knowing Jesus, then let the outer miracles act as evidence of this oneness with God.
But let’s press this oneness idea a little further. How can selfish or evil people still be in oneness with the Collective? And if they are, simply because there is no way to be outside of the Whole, then why are they allowed to do so much harm to others in the Collective? In a very complex discussion between one of the greatest questioners of Edgar Cayce, Morton Blumenthal, #900, and the “sleeping” Edgar Cayce, attuned to the Collective, we can find some insights to these hard questions. Since the discussion is so complex, I’ll paraphrase here:
Mort: On Oct. 15, Thursday, at home I had this dream: It seemed my mother and I were in a hotel where many people were passing by. Then there was a typewriter with a sheet of blank paper in it, waiting to be used by one of the many applicants for the position of stenographer. The typewriter also seemed to be waiting for my more perfect understanding of something else - some final thing - the first 3 prin-ciples of which I had two. In the midst of all of this, a voice said: ‘ALL of these are GOD!’
Cayce: This dream is presenting to the entity the oneness of purpose, of intent, of the WHOLE BEING AS ONE. For ALL is of God, see? And as the entity gains knowledge from living the various phases of oneness, he gains that first principle of which the other two he already has. That first principle is this: God is in you manifesting to other individuals through every phenomenized situation that is presented in a physical world. For, every force which may not be separated or produced by man is of God and of the Universal Forces. These are the three forces in man: (1) Spiritual - of God; (2) Cosmic - the forces made by man; and (3) Subconscious - the force that bridges the Spiritual and the Cosmic, connecting the spiritual with the cosmic.
Mort: It seems to me that this dream imagery tries again and again to drive home to my dense physical mind that God is One....
Cayce: (Interrupting) Correct.
Mort: God is all of these people passing in the hotel and all of the applicants for the stenographer job....
Cayce: (Interrupting) Correct.
Mort: All these people are phenomen-ized forms of God. Also God is all of these consciousnesses....
Cayce: (Interrupting) Except that God is not the cosmic forces made by free-will man. These are not related to spiritual forces. These are earth made.
In many of his readings Cayce explained that evil is man’s misuse of the gift of free will. The Creator allows this because free will is the only way for any soul to reach its original purpose for existence: to know itself to be itself yet choose to be one with the Whole, with the Creator and the creation. If free will is taken away, then the soul no longer has the potential to become an eternal companion with its creator. As the theological concept goes, man was made a little less than the angels but with the potential to judge even the angels. This is why souls misusing free will are allowed more time to discover their true purpose, even if they do much harm along the way. Eventually, as recorded in the Revelation, God will stop time, separate misusers from those who have tried to fulfill their purpose. He/She will then “wipe the tears from everyone’s eyes” and set up “a new heaven and a new earth” for the companionable souls to enjoy with God.
According to Cayce’s readings and many other classic sources, before anything was created there existed something that caused the creation to begin. The potential for the creation was latent in pre-creation emptiness. Cayce often referred to it as “the first impulse, the first cause.” A good way for us to grasp how there could be anything before the creation is to think of the infinite emptiness as a consciousness, much like our own, except that this consciousness was infinite and perfectly still, no thoughts, quiet. Imagining this with our own minds is one of the states of meditation: a clear, quiet mind -- hard to do for even a few minutes. At some moment this infinite mind began to move, to conceive, and the creation began. Imagine how the idea of light awoke, and playing with this idea, the infinite mind conceived of stars and galaxies of all shapes, sizes, and colors. At some moment in this conception process, Cayce says, the Universal Consciousness conceived of companions to itself, companions made in its own image: minds, with life, creativity, and free will. Countless little minds were conceived in the one, infinite mind. At first we all remained consciously connected to the One Mind. But as we began to use our free wills to experience individual consciousness, we focused more on our own consciousness and gradually lost our connection with the Infinite Mind. We did not go anywhere. There was nowhere to go beyond the Whole. We simply lost consistent consciousness of our oneness with the Infinite Consciousness. Today, billions of years after it all began, we struggle to regain and retain conscious awareness of the One Mind within which we all exist and with which we are all destined to consciously companion forever -- if we choose to.
Just as this is all getting clearer, Cayce tosses a brick into our thinking when he says such mind-boggling things as “there is no time, no space.” He explains that at a deep level there actually is no beginning, no end, all time is one.
He explains that there actually is no here and no there. As demonstrated by his own readings, he could tell us what we (our deeper selves) thought eons ago, as if it were yesterday, and could physically be in Virginia Beach while viewing a person in San Diego! During his reading, there was indeed no time, no space. All was one.
Cayce said it this way: “Learn these lessons well: First, the continuity of life. There is no time; it is one time. There is no space; it is one space. There is no force, other than all force in its various phases and applications. The individual is such a part of God that one’s thoughts may become crimes or miracles, for thoughts are deeds. That that one metes must be met again. That one applies will be applied again and again until that oneness of time, space, force are learned and the individual is one with the whole.”
Fortunately for our three-dimensional selves, he did instruct that time and space were helpful tools for developing souls to use in our day-to-day, step-by-step process of application and enlightenment. But his deeper mind did not want us to get lost in the limitations of time and space, encouraging us to budget some time and space for experiencing the timelessness and spaceless-ness; in other words, the oneness.
He also instructed seekers to watch themselves go by, watch themselves interact with others, watch their minds thinking about situations and people, and see if our words, actions, and thoughts reflect the truth of the oneness or the illusion of separateness, multiplicity, and diversity.
From Cayce’s trance perspective, the greatest evil in the earth and in the hearts and minds of individuals is contention, fault-finding, lovers of self, and lovers of praise, because these forces separate. The greatest good in the world is love, patience, kindness, forgiveness, and understanding, because these forces unite.
“These are times when every effort should be made to preserve the universality of love....” He instructed one person to “study the truths about oneness, whether Jewish, Gentile, Greek, or heathen!”
Among religions, Cayce said that wherever the principle of one God and one people is taught, there is truth. Cayce stated that, in many of the world’s great religions, the principle of oneness is there, but men have “turned this aside to meet their own immediate needs, as a moralist or the head of any independent power, but ‘Know the Lord thy God is One!’ whether this is directing one of the Confucius thought, Brahman thought, Buddha thought, Mohammedan thought ... there is only one. The whole law and gospel of every age has said, ‘There is ONE God!’”
As with all of these concepts, they begin within our individual minds and hearts, and since there is oneness, the more individuals believe in the oneness and live it in their lives, the more it makes an impression upon the Collective Consciousness and finds its way into other individual minds and hearts. We are the leaven that can leaven the whole loaf of humanity. Let’s budget time to experience the oneness in meditation. Let’s practice oneness in our thoughts about others and interactions with others. Ultimately, despite all the indications to the contrary, the world and humanity will be one. To us all towns are one, all men our kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill. Man's pains and pains' relief are from within. Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !. - Tamil Poem-
