I’d like to offer a roadmap to realized knowledge. I do so not as a spiritual teacher – a term I reserve for beings enlightened to the seventh-chakra. I’m simply a writer interested in spiritual matters. On that basis…. I’ve said before that people seem to follow a gradient of knowledge. They first get the […]
Arn Allingham: Triggering. And What to Do about It!
Triggering. And what to do about it! Arn (Zingdad) Allingham httpss://zingdad.com/blog/196-triggering-and-what-to-do-about-it The psychological effect of “being triggered” by an external event is something that one hears about a great deal these days. It has become a mainstream concept, often mentioned in the press and in online articles. The concept, in case you are not familiar […]
The Spectrum of Realized Knowledge
Intellectual knowledge, experiential knowledge, and realized knowledge all fall into a spectrum within any one dimension. And between dimensions, I think. Restricting myself to realized knowledge here, it runs the gamut from a flash of recognition, an “Aha!” or Eureka moment all the way to infinity. I was going to say “all the way to […]
Torrent of Bliss
The glimpse of the natural Self that I had a few days back was acting like an underground volcano. The magma that built up in the chamber, when it finally blew, turned out to be an explosion of the kundalini, the Mother’s Shakti or Divine Energy, Bliss, the Great Comforter. (1) I watched as a […]
First Glimpse of the Natural Self
I had my first glimpse of the natural Self today. The duration of it would have been the same as the time passed looking at faces in the crowd as the train pulls away. There were the obstructions – thoughts and feelings – and then, in the space between them, there was the default, the […]
Peace at Last
I’ve reached a new plateau and I don’t know how to describe it. It’s peace. That much is certain. But how did I get here and will it last? The originating event was sitting at my desk looking out over this now snow-blanketted landscape. I felt such peace. I saw that I had no memories […]
Seinfeld for President; Obama for Stand-Up
“I’ve always wanted to be in a show about nothing,” Mr. Barackobama (one word) said. “And here I am.” This video, in which Jerry Seinfeld drops by and picks the President up for coffee (“Got time for coffee?”), in Jerry’s Corvette, is head-bangingly funny. Seinfeld to Obama: “Are you still up for coffee?” Obama: “Sure. […]
Rockefeller Descendants Speak Out
Rockefeller descendants speak out against company to which they owe their prosperity CBS News.com, Dec. 2, 2016 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rockefeller-family-feud-with-exxon-mobil-fossil-fuels-global-warming-climate-change/ Only on “CBS This Morning,” members of the Rockefeller family are giving their first TV interviews about a public falling out with ExxonMobil. The energy giant is one of the successors to Standard Oil, founded by John […]
Layers of the Onion
I’m learning so much from exploring this commanding attitude of taking charge. A few months ago, will reasserted itself in the Humpty Dumpty Man. Now he’s taking charge. I see this as part of a radical reconstruction of my self. The prostate surgery had something to do with it as well, AAM told me. Watching […]
Werner Erhard: Butterflies Can Explain How Caterpillars Came to Fly
In the course of a conversation with a reader, I became aware of the fact that Werner Erhard (1) had posted online one of the most stimulating books for humanitarian philanthropists I’ve ever read. Werner was … is … an enlightened humanitarian philosopher. He might call himself an ontologist, a student of being. I’d add […]
Trimming Down for Paradigm Shifts
Reposted from Oct. 2009. Enlightenment and Paradigm Shifts I said earlier that we don’t want ice on our wings when trying to take off in our plane or we’ll stall. Recent events have shown me that it isn’t just Ascension that may bring a “take-off” in our lives. We’ll be faced with the opportunity for […]
To Be With and Observe
Reposted from 2011. Written with the prospect of Ascension being Dec. 21, 2012 and a whole world yet to awaken. To my way of thinking, we may be out of time to “do” something about our unfinished business. We may have no time left for Zen retreats, enlightenment intensives, or human-development trainings. We may have […]
Vasanas, Vrittis and the Endpoint of Enlightenment
Reposted from January 2013. I hear many people say, “Oh, I’m clear of my vasanas.” To the best of my knowledge, very, very few people are free of their vasanas. “As one set of Vasanas is worn away,” Sadhu Arunachala said, “another takes its place.” (1) Don’t forget that we can and do have vasanas […]
On Looking Like a Fool … and Getting It
Reposted from April 2011. I’ve said on a number of occasions that, as far as I’m concerned, cleaning up our unfinished business is what we need to be doing these days and that one cannot clean up unfinished business unless it’s present. One cannot access an upset that’s not happening in the moment. So when […]
An Introduction to the Perennial Philosophy
Reposted from 2010. In his Sept. 11, 2010 message, Matthew said: “The truth is [that] religions were devised to keep you from knowing who you truly are, to keep you ignorant of the universal laws, and to create divisiveness within the populace.” (1) So bad did the situation of religious division become that, SaLuSa tells […]
