Vajrayāna (Sanskrit वज्रयान, lit. "vajra vehicle"), is also known as Mantrayāna ("mantra vehicle"), Guhyamantrayāna ("secret mantra vehicle"), Tantrayāna ("tantra vehicle"), Tantric Buddhism, and Esoteric Buddhism.
It is a Mahāyāna ("great vehicle") Buddhist tradition that emphasizes esoteric practices and rituals aimed at rapid spiritual awakening [or some deluded facsimile, replacing what the historical Buddha considered liberation for what previous Vedic, Hindu, esoteric teachers called moksha].
Vajrayana artist Alex Grey, 2013
Emerging between the 5th and 7th centuries CE in medieval India [1], Vajrayāna incorporates a range of techniques, including the use of
mantras (sacred sounds),
dhāraṇīs (mnemonic codes),
mudrās (symbolic hand gestures),
mandalas (spiritual diagrams), and
the visualization of deities and [cosmic] buddhas.
These practices are designed to transform ordinary experiences into paths toward enlightenment, often by engaging with aspects of desire and aversion in a ritualized context.
A distinctive feature of Vajrayāna is its emphasis on esoteric transmission, where teachings are passed directly from teacher (guru "master" or vajrācārya"teacher of vajra") to student (chela) through initiation ceremonies [2].
Tradition asserts that these teachings have been passed down through an unbroken lineage going back to the historical Buddha (circa 5th century BCE)... More

What is gender, what are gender roles, sexism?
(Awaken with JP) What if there were a way for poor dumb men to get with the program, read between the lines, decode, codeswitch, understand, and figure it out already? For that, there's the Manslater. But whether they do or do not get their heads out of their [blanks], there are now Man Scripts to help them. Finally, get those pretty little head out of the clouds and down to this earth. There are words, and there are meanings, and they are not the same, Guys. Geez, get a clue! Read these to your partners, and you'll be just fine. Our tough meditation student, Doggone, was always learning. And what he learned was to always get the last word when arguing with his girlfriend. How do you think that went? Actually, it went great...but that may have something to do with what he said. Sure, he always got the last word in, but that word was, "Yes, dear." Now you, too, can be like Doggone and heel. 🤐

(Worldwide News) "Holy Hell" documents the cult Buddhafield formed in California in the 80s. It left many members feeling sexually exploited, abused. Talking Movies' Tom Brook reports.
I saw the light! I peaked! I'm liberated now!
"Holy Hell" is a new documentary directed by Will Allen, a young man who found himself drawn to a spiritual community and its charismatic leader.
He went on GoHarrison (5-29) and FilmWeek today as the movie goes into wide release.
Whoo! This is enlightenment, motherlovers!!
The doc tells the story of the filmmaker as well as his friends' and family's time with The Buddhafield (a.k.a. Holy Company, Satsang, etc.), a Los Angeles-based cult he joined in the 1980s (now moved to Hawaii). At that time it called itself an "anti-cult," just a spiritual group, good holy company.
Just out of college, young idealist filmmaker Will Allen joined a
secretive spiritual community led by a charismatic "guru." Camera in
hand, he documented 20 years of living inside a cult that changed how he
would see the world forever.
He recorded everything, offering audiences a juicy and unparalleled look into the extreme ideals and expectations that make up communities like this born in Los Angeles, the city of cults. Total devotion turns to paranoia, cracks begin to unfold as unexpected truths were revealed about the "enlightened" leader they built every fiber of their lives around.
For the first time, the filmmaker turns the camera on himself and asks fellow former-cult members to come to terms with their past and the unbelievable deceit they experienced. "Holy Hell" leaves viewers with many burning questions, but ultimately this one: What are we willing to believe to sustain our greatest happiness?
Director Will Allen shares clips from the documentary as well as the trailer, and recalls his personal relationship with Michel (which means "The Teacher"), the name used at the time by the group’s leader. Allen also discusses what life was like inside the cult, why he started filming, and how it all came crashing down in this episode of BYOD hosted by Ondi Timoner.
GUEST: Will Allen is a film graduate from Southern Methodist University. Shortly after college, he ended up living inside a guru-based society for two decades, during which time he was continuously filming the world he inhabited. After finally freeing himself at the age of 44, he began using his archives of footage to tell the tale of "Holy Hell."
WARNING: Lear reveals things that are impossible/unacceptable: We can't handle the truth (because we've been lied to so much for so long). But see Minute 46, or ask Stewart Swerdlow.
John Lear discusses the inside story of our intimate relationship with many types of "aliens," Area 51, infamous whistleblower scientist Bob Lazar, Mars civilization, and other ufology-related topics.
Lear shares astonishing details of the time he trespassed into Area 51 and, more importantly, brought an insider out to spill the beans. He provides further insights into the startling revelations he made in his 1987 statement on the alien presence and various government cover-ups.
Rebirth is real, and there are 40+ inhabited planets and moons in our solar system.
.
According to Lear, there are many species of aliens from space held at Area 51, and our government has made a deal with them, agreeing to ignore child and adult abductions, cattle mutilations, and other intervening in earthling affairs in exchange for advanced technology.
Lear claims that more than 1 in 10 Americans have been abducted for alien analysis and tracking. Furthermore, although it is unbelievable, there are at times 1 billion ETs among us on this planet.

You're blowing my mind; I gotta make a film!*
He talks about his relationship with Bob Lazar, who he said was a skeptic at the time of their first meeting. Lear answered critics who believe he and Lazar were working together as disinformation agents for the government. Lear also entertained the idea that he may have been played by Area 51 officials through Lazar to release information.
Also kept from the public is the fact that there is life similar to ours on most of the planets in our solar system, but there are 40 planets with moons, all inhabited, not nine or ten. For instance, Mars has a population of 660 million (mostly underground due to its degraded environment).

how "one by one" the fantastic/unacceptable things Lear says are true.

Use the Law of Attraction through meditation to create the life you dream of. While most Law of Attraction has been subverted to simply advance greed while thinking one is being spiritual, there is an undefiled source for this information. It was originally in the movie but edited out of the final edition that spread around the world. The principles are vital and important.
The universe is not an ATM. The sales job that continues in countless books and offers is deceptive. It has enriched salespeople without fulfilling the promise of a self-directed life for buyers. Motivational speaking falls short. Wishing and hoping and believing disappoint.
"Abraham" (as channelled by Esther Hicks) explains why the essence of the message was removed from the movie, revealing the "secret."
