Cities found on Moon: banned press release

Creepy ET priest

Reasonable people are aware of the activity of an advanced alien civilization close to us, on our moon (Soma, Chandra, Luna). However, are we psychologically ready for it? We still come across articles trying to answer the moot question, "Are we alone in the universe?" Meanwhile, the presence of other, higher-order reasoning beings has already been detected close our earth (Tierra, Bhumi, Eorðe).

Official 1996 press release

May be projected hologram to conceal truth

Here is an extract from the official press release: “NASA scientists and engineers participating in exploration of Mars and the Moon reported the results of their discoveries at a briefing at the Washington National Press Club on March 21, 1996. It was announced for the first time that man-made structures and objects [artifacts] have been discovered on the Moon.” SOURCE: bibliotecapleyades.net. 

However, this discovery was immediately classified as "secret," as it is so incredible that it might even shake existing social order, reports Russia's newspaper Vechernii Volgograd.

There are countless other inhabited worlds.

The scientists spoke rather cautiously and evasively about these objects, with the exception of a UFO. They always mentioned that the [artificial or humanoid-created] objects are possible and stated the information was still under study and that official results will be published later.

It was mentioned at the briefing as well that the Soviet Union used to possess photo materials proving the presence of such activity on the Moon.

Although what kind of activity was not identified, thousands of photo and video materials from the various Apollo and Clementine space programs showed many parts on the lunar surface where this activity and its traces were perfectly evident.

The videos and photos made by U.S. astronauts during the Apollo program were demonstrated at the briefing. More

Enlightenment by Ear (sota-panna)

Bhikkhu Bodhi (ATS) Wheel #367 (BPS), Dhr. Seven, C. Quintero (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

When the Buddha taught, he did not get right to the point. First he prepared his audience with a "gradual instruction" (ānupubbī-kathā). A key recurring topic was:

 

The practice of giving, which is universally recognized as one of the most basic human virtues, a quality that testifies to the depth of one's humanity and one's capacity for self-transcendence.

In the teachings of the Buddha, the practice of giving claims a place of special prominence, one which singles it out as being in a sense the foundation and seed of spiritual development, that of being able to let go.

In the Pali (the exclusively-Buddhist language) discourses, we read time and again that "talk on giving" was invariably the first topic the Buddha discussed in his "gradual instruction" of the Dharma.

Whenever the Buddha delivered a discourse to an audience of people who did not yet regard him as their teacher, he would start by emphasizing the value of giving, of letting go, of caring for others and sharing with them for the good of all.

Only after his audience had come to appreciate this virtue would he introduce other aspects of the teaching, such as virtue in general, the law of karma (that what we think, say, and/or do subsequently bears fruit (and mental resultants), and the benefits in renunciation (internally letting go and gaining a greater perspective on the things that trap us and hold us in bonds).

P.S. The secret to enlightenment is satipatthana to realize the khandhas are anatta.

.

And only after all of these principles had made their impact on the hearts/minds of his listeners would he expound to them that unique discovery of the awakened ones, the Four Noble Truths and the unheard of anatta principle that all things are, in an ultimate sense, impersonal although we regard them as "I, me, and mine."

• 

  The eye of wisdom arose = sotapannaship.

  Hearing the Dharma after their hearts/minds had been duly prepared, listeners often entered or won the stream [entered by ear, entered by hearing the truth], that is, realized the first stage of enlightenment.

Strictly speaking, giving does not appear on its own among the factors of the Noble Eightfold Path, nor does it enter among the other "37 Requisites of Enlightenment."

Most probably it has been excluded from these groupings because the practice of giving does not by its own nature conduce directly and immediately to the arising of insight and the realization of the Four Noble Truths and nirvana (moksha, final liberation, complete freedom).

Giving (dana), letting go, relinquishing functions in the Buddhist discipline in a different capacity.

It does not come at the apex of the path, as a factor constituent of the process of enlightenment (awakening), but rather it serves as a basis and preparation that underlies and quietly supports the entire endeavor to free the mind from the defilements.

 

Nevertheless, though giving is not counted directly among the factors of the path, its contribution to progress along the road to liberation should be recognized. The prominence of this contribution is underscored by the place the Buddha assigns to giving in various sets of practices. 

In addition to appearing as the first topic in the graduated exposition of the Dharma, the practice of giving also figures as:

• the first of the three bases of meritorious deeds
• the first of the four ways of benefiting others*
• the first of the ten "perfections" or paramis.

• *The four "ways of showing favor" are generosity, kind speech, beneficial actions, and unbiased impartiality (A.IV.32; A.VIII.24).

The perfections are the sublime virtues cultivated by all aspirants to enlightenment. These ten are cultivated to the most exalted degree by those who follow the way of the Bodhisattva aiming at supreme buddhahood. More

Enlightenment by noble friendship (sutra)

Dhr. Seven (ed.) Upaddha Sutra (SN 45.2), "Half (of the Purified Life) Discourse," based on corrected trans. of Ven. Thanissaro (accesstoinsight.org), Crystal Quintero, Wisdom Quarterly

Getting to hear the Dharma is the start.

Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was living among [his family clan] the Shakyians [Scythians and Indo-Scythians, see ranajitpal.com for this revelation].

"Now there is a Shakyian town called Sakkara. There Ven. Ananda went to go see the Blessed One and, arriving, bowed respectfully, sat to one side of the Blessed One, and exclaimed:

"This is half of the purified life,* venerable sir: noble friendship, noble association, noble companionship!**"

• [*The way leading to the supreme, namely, to nirvana. **As AN 8.54 points out, this means more than associating with noble ones, for it includes LEARNING (hearing the Dharma) from them and emulating the noble qualities they evince.]

Ananda reflected and figured it out.

"Do not say so, Ananda, do not say so! Noble  friendship, noble association, noble companionship is the WHOLE of the purified life.

"When a meditator has noble friends, noble associates, noble companions, such a person person can be expected to [hear the Dharma and] practice and develop the Noble Eightfold Path [leading to enlightenment and nirvana].
 
"How does a meditator with noble friends, associates, and companions [get to hear] pursue and develop the Noble Eightfold Path?

"In one case a meditator develops right view dependent on withdrawal [seclusion from unwholesome, defiled states], dependent on dispassion, dependent on cessation, resulting in letting go (relinquishment).

"One develops right intention... right speech... right action... right livelihood... right effort... right mindfulness... right concentration dependent on withdrawal, dependent on dispassion, dependent on cessation, resulting in letting go.

"This is how a meditator with noble friends, associates, and companions develops and pursues the Noble Eightfold Path.
 
"Through this line of reasoning, one may know how noble friendship, noble association, noble companionship is actually the whole of the purified life:

The Buddha as our best noble friend

I've done a lot of bad things, sir! - Listen.

"It is depending on [the Buddha] as [the ultimate] noble friend that

• beings who are subject to rebirth gain release from rebirth
• beings who are subject to aging gain release from aging [and sickness]
• beings who are subject to death gain release from death
• beings who are subject to sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair gain release from sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair.

"It is through this line of reason that one may directly realize how noble friendship, noble association, and noble companionship is in fact the whole of the purified life."

Moon and Sun are in our atmosphere (video)

A Plane Truth, March 18, 2018; Pat Macpherson, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

(Aplanetruth.info) We've been lied to about so many things. Some say about everything. Is it too much to ask that we rely on our senses and our own scientific (logical, testable, replicable) experiments? This short clip, with video evidence, purports to prove that our moon and sun are only miles up in the sky, in line with ancient Buddhist view (concentric worlds around a central "mountain" each with their own sun and moon, of the same size, chasing each other around a plate not distant objects spinning around a ball) in line with the older Vedic view.

Voices of Women in Sacred Music (video)

Prof. Anne Harley, Scripps College (voicesofthepearl.org), YouTube, John Schneider ("Global Village," June 21, 2018, KPFK 90.7 FM); Dhr. Seven, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The Buddhist Therigatha is 2,600 years old.

On today's episode of Global Village, John Schneider hosts some incredible female musicians. The first is Yale-educated Anne Harley talking about ancient Buddhism in Dunhuang (Central Asia as it abuts Western China with its own Research Academy). She talks about Buddhist nuns of the two dominant schools and Abbess Hildegard of Bingen, a Western mystic, poet, composer, and musician. Hildegard opened scholars' minds as to how much women contributed to spirituality through music. Are women capable of enlightenment and mysticism (direct experience of the divine)? These women prove they are. LISTEN (Global Village - Thurs, June 21, 2018, 11:00 AM)

 

Professor of Music Anne Harley (Scripps)

Voices of the Pearl, in newly commissioned song cycles,  traces the tenuous lineage of women who dared to encounter the unmediated divine.

Their efforts span time, religion, nation, and culture. This project commissions, performs, and records musical works from composers across the world, setting text by and about female esoterics from world traditions throughout history, reclaiming these lost voices and the tradition of female spirituality.

By juxtaposing and performing four to five cycles by living composers, a full-length evening of portraits is created of female esoterics, traversing time and geography.

 

Ayya Tathaloka, California Theravada nuns

The performance of several different cycles over the course of an evening focuses audiences' attention on the musical portraits of women negotiating the intersection of heaven and earth, in a variety of world traditions: Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Taoist, Buddhist.

• [The section on Buddhist nuns is particularly striking as it sets to music rare and ancient Buddhist texts known as the Therigatha or "Verses of the Nuns," which are songs about individual enlightenment experiences of theris or female-elders, an "elder" being anyone with ten or more rains retreats in the robe. Harley gathered these texts from "female monks" in Theravada Thailand, the are fully ordained nuns. But "nun" has another, lower-status meaning of the Maechi or White-Clad Ten Precept Nuns, like Srirasmi Suwadee is treated, who are not fully ordained.]

Goddesses (devis) can teach and sing.

The female esoteric practitioner is twice marginalized in the world’s traditions. First, the mystic’s direct contact with the divine threatens the hierarchical [and patriarchal] structures of organized religion, so they are sometimes labeled heretical.

Second, women are often considered by religious traditions incapable, due to their female bodies, to attain an authentic [enlightenment or] direct mystical contact with the divine.
 
[The Buddha said they could and made them "nuns," wandering female ascetics, but that did not stop sexist societies from doubting them and them doubting themselves.] 

Voices of the Pearl traces the tenuous lineage of women who dared to encounter the divine directly. More

Cleanse, Nourish, Heal (Dr. Christopher)

Dr. Christopher (drchristopher.com); Xochitl, Crystal Quintero (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

 

Cleanse then eat well = heal.

Dr. Christopher’s common sense approach to natural health is based on three vital processes. He taught his students that cleansing is the first and most important stage of restoring a healthy body.
 
The ultimate purpose of cleansing is to prepare the body for natural healing through purification of all the body’s organs down to the cellular level.

This protocol is designed to naturally bring the body to its normal weight range, whether the body is overweight or underweight by first eliminating any accumulation or retention of putrid matter in the bowel.
 
Perspiration is a natural action of the sweat glands. Sweat throws off toxins, which can be restricted by the use of synthetic drying deodorants. Once the body is purified, it is ready to accept the highest vibratory quality foods. Now natural healing can take place as nature intended!

Second, nourishment from live, nutritious, foods supports the body’s natural function by balancing everything from the PH of an overly acidic body to restoring the natural glow of the largest organ of the body -- the skin.
 
Third, healing occurs naturally, sometimes quickly but sometimes slowly, as the body continues to eliminate impurities and strengthen itself through proper nourishment.

One of the signs of healing comes with periodic aches and pains in the areas where the cleansing action is most acute. Patience is required as the body cycles through these three phases. More

Other dudes are living in the ghetto (wa-oo-wa-oo-wa-oo-wa-ooooo), but born in Beverly Hills don't seem much better (wa-oo-wa-oo-wa-oo-wa-ooooo).

I go crazy 'cause my folks are so bleeding rich (wa-oo-wa-oo-wa-oo-wa-ooooo), have to score when I get that rich white punk itch. Sounds real classy, living in a chateau (wa-oo-wa-oo-wa-oo-wa-ooooo). So lonely, all the other kids will never know. CHORUS. White punks on dope...

I stare from East to West, 2, 5, 4. No way I can decide. Everything here is so beautifully colorful! I stare at the TV...TV TV TV TV is a drug. TV is addictive. TV TV TV TV...
