The Almighty Ohm

Selfishness and greed are an energy that tends to negativity. Desire can be directed with intention. 

I discuss my walk this morning, and some insights gained. 

Title covers it all. I link modern science with my 30 year journey to heal trauma, Dukkha/suffering, in a mind-only school of thought. Karl Fristan and FEP Free Energy Principle. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00130/full http://strangebeautiful.com/other-texts/eddington-space-time-grav.pdf https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/384CC0D22585...

When faith becomes belief, not all are benefitted. In a time when science is supporting more and more of the path, we see within it many unwilling to see the truth within their own teachings. Do we need to believe in all the tenets of a path to be proper practitioners? 

I discuss trauma, meditation, healing and modern science. * This was a voice memo so the audio is poor. The ideas, I feel, are sound and beneficial.

practice was not Zazen(sitting) 😉 念念不忘 : Niàn niàn bù wàng : study study not neglect. ** So, Zazen. 坐禪. Sitting meditation. But also the character for "to travel by" and 'Zen' - Or 'Dhyana' - mind training. Dzogchen, satori, atiyoga, clear comprehension of all of life's activities. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%A6%85 https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%9D%90 Sati Sampajanna is a great p...

Often quoted at marriage ceremonies. "4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where th...

In the below you will find the insight to the nature of self in this word, also a link to a mantra you may be familiar with in Japan. Another link I wished to share, culture, that was misheard as a discussion about meaning not message. The reason I mentioned ‘Independent’(the self) and the term used today in Malay for ‘Private’. Giving an insight to the meaning and the message. *There are many wor...

I discuss Kamatanha, Bhavatanha, and Vibhavatanha. Craving or thirst for existence, for experience, and attachment to the cessation of these. No attainment, no attachment. We are complete, we are perfected nature. Amalavijnana. If not for our attachment to the self. The individual self. 

I discuss David Goggins, Nietzsche, Buddhism, and bettering oneself. Here is where I returned to the 'being uncomfortable' as the optimum state for the human creature. We either grow or atrophy. They are only riddles to those without the insight to understand. We are already complete. We are perfected nature. Thus we must get out of our own way to understand - not expect others to lead us. Finger...

Here is where I returned to the 'being uncomfortable' as the optimum state for the human creature. We either grow or we atrophy. NIMH national Institute of Mental Health. Did a long term study. Give  mice everything they need. No stress. No want. Were they happy? Nope.  They stopped breeding. became what the Doc called 'the beautifuls' who  preened and not much else. He posited. 40...

I read the commentary to the Secret of the Golden Flower. A translation of an ancient Chinese text about meditation and energy manipulation. Carl Jung gives a great insight into his philosophy and their understanding of the Chinese Philosophy. I will add 'complete' to the episode once finished. "It is a question of yea-saying to oneself, of taking one's self as the most serious of tasks, of being...

I share a hexagram reading. A Ba Gua. A doubled trigram. Very good luck, normally. Created on: 9/20/20 at 11:12 AM * ***June 12th 2021 I cast all 8s to get another Kun. I share this old podcast: a couple days after getting another pointer towards humility and action. 

I read the forward to Richard Wilhelm's translation of the I Ching. Yi Jing. The forward was written by his friend and fellow user of the great 'book of change': Carl Gustaf Jung. *Complete. 

I read John Donne's poem. Analyze it with a view of life's philosophy. Buddhism. The cycle of life. The arising and passing away of all things. This was inspired by the Jordan Peterson interview with Rex Murphy. Impermanence, dissatisfaction, and not-self as center.  Cetuskoti. Tetralemma. Sisyphus. Amor fati. Camus. Jung. Yi Jing, I Ching, Kong Fu Tze. Lao Tzu. 

This is the introduction to the Bardo Thodol, the Tibetan book of Natural Liberation in the between states. Third edition of Evan-Wentz translation. 

I discuss 'Seele'. The term Jung chose for the collective unconscious. Shakti. Dakini. Feminine aspect. Divine aspect.

I share some insights from a personal journey. Method acting: to embody another experience, as one's own. Return to the actors original self causes issues for many. Temporary, transitory nature of self. Embodiment, nascent. Self. Anicca and annuta and dukkha. Impermanence, not-self, and dissatisfaction.

Is the meditation we use influencing our vagus nerve? Is this practice the solution, at minimum a treatment, for immune and inflammatory diseases. Could diet and lifestyle be the solution to treatment and prevention of all disease? 

The Knight in rusty armor. I discuss a book recommended to me, and the insights I found within. 

I discuss how we can choose to change inequality? I avoid social and political issues, normally. I share a perspective. Created on: 2/4/21 at 7:38 AM

I read an editorial on bill C-10. Legislation in Canada meant to protect our culture and identify, but will it further deepen the divide between people and policy. What makes us who we are, as any people, is what we are not.

I share a reading for myself I did this morning. How I do a reading. What insights can be gleaned. I also share some insights into history and context to the text and the teachings, in China and without. 

I test the desktop app. A new microphone that took three weeks to arrive 'next-day' shipping(everyone is podcasting). Reading a very apropos quote by Blavatsky of the Theosophical society. I highly recommend reading with an open mind and you might gain some insights. For me when I was young I found a simple quote changed my entire perspective. The mirage simile to teach perspective and bias - or d...

I read the fourth ground from the middle way by Chandrakirti. Knowledge is a transformation, is transformative, is a transmutation.
