What is "yoga" anyway?

If poses were yoga, few would benefit

Actually, the best and most useful definition of yoga is "an eightfold path" (ashtanga-marga) to "meditation" (samadhi).

The practice of this path, which should not be confused or conflated with the Buddha's Ennobling Eightfold Path to enlightenment (because they are not the same and do NOT lead to the same result, even if well-meaning people trying to mush and blend them together into a syncretism of traditions).

Yoga's Eightfold Path to "Union"

In fact, the Sage Patanjali copied Shakyamuni, the "Sage of the Shakyas," the Buddha's very popular eightfold pattern in condensing a rich tradition of yoga into a handy set of steps, which is why they seem the same on the surface.

But what did each sage put inside the paths they were teaching in ancient Proto-India? The Buddha condensed the 37 Requisites of Enlightenment into eight general categories. Patanjali tried to summarize many individual practices (each limb of the path amounting to many discrete practices) into a set of eight unfolding markers.

What is true of both paths -- which are not opposed to one another but, in fact, can be very helpful each to the other -- is that they are not really "steps." A yogi or yogini (a dedicated practitioner) does not complete one step then go on to the next then leave those to and go onto a third. Each "step" mutually supports all the others.

The path for runners is a circular track, barefoot

For example, if a runner wants to run, it is important follow these eight "steps": hydrate, eat well, supplement, warm up, stretch, train, practice, and recover. One never stops doing one just because one starts doing the others. They are all included. Similarly, one may take the Buddha's Ennobling (Noble = Aryan = Enlightening) Eightfold Path take condense it further into a threefold division or virtue, meditation, and wisdom (sila, samadhi, paññā).

Each thunderstick relies on all the others to stand

Virtue does not stop because stillness (samadhi, concentration, coherence) has begun. And the right view that began the path does not stop at wisdom but rather is bolstered by it. One feeds the other, and they end up being like three spears or rifles leaning on each other to stand (like a tripod, three-legged stool, or a stand with eight factors).

In just the same way, the Eightfold Path of Yoga or Ashtanga can be said to begin here or there, but wherever one begins, one does not stop a "step" to begin another. For instance, in the case of pranayama (breath work, breath restraint, breath control, the manipulation of pranic energy in the body by breathing), there are exercises. But all through the asanas (postures, poses, stretches) there is still breathing.

Begin by focusing on the breath, in, out...

In fact, there's more breathing -- more pranayama -- than when simply sitting. Focusing the mind on a bindi, the real meaning of drishti, is arguable more helpful in the poses than in dhyana (meditation). The goal, to the extent that there ever is just one ultimate goal in yoga or Buddhism, is samadhi. In Vedic tradition, Brahmanism (Old Vedic religion), or Hinduism, the ultimate goal may be said to be a special form of samadhi. But the historical Buddha did not stop there.

Samma-samadhi ("right-samadhi") is crucial to getting the mind to a temporarily purified state to then emerge from meditative absorption (jhana, dhyana, zen) and practice meditation in a different sense of the word (perhaps best translated as contemplation or anussati) -- systematic mindfulness (satipatthana) of the body, feelings, mind, and mind-objects for the realization of permanent insight (vipassana-nana or panna, "liberating-wisdom"). The insight is into the true nature of reality, the Three Universal Marks of Existence.

You're not still focusing on the breath, are you?

Does Yoga go there, or does it stop at temporarily exalted states with the possibility of regressing back to ordinary consciousness? Seers (rishis) like Patanjali and other mystics may have been transformed to some extent by self-realization. But it was not what the Buddha was teaching and defining as moksha or final spiritual "liberation." The Buddha called this nirvana and used the term in a whole new way.

How to Know God

Yogis, Brahmins, Hindus may hear the word "nirvana," recognize it as Sanskrit, and think, "Oh, yeah, we know about that. But they do not, for they do not understand the meaning the Buddha was giving to the term -- much as he gave new meaning to many Sanskrit (an exclusively Brahmin liturgical language at the time of the Buddha), Pali (the lingua franca at the time of the Buddha), Prakrit, Magadhi, and Vedic terms.

The stated goal of Yoga as a fully rounded practice is "union." "Union with what?" one may ask. The breath (prana, chi, ki, qi), spirit (pneuma, holy spirit), Brahman (GOD or godhead, the reality behind all illusions or maya), God (Brahma), Self (Atman), the polarities of ha and tha, sun and moon, masculinity and femininity, yin and yang, the bija or seed-mantra "OM" (aum, the humming sound of the living cosmos operating)...all things?

Sadhguru: God or Fraud? 99% confirmed

Richest gurus and babas of India

Within India’s complex tapestry of spirituality, numerous revered gurus (spiritual teachers) and babas (father figures) stand out, their teachings resonating far beyond the confines of their ashrams (temples) and devotees.

Sad guru: I make a lot of money. lol

Boasting millions of followers worldwide, these spiritual leaders have amassed substantial wealth and wield immense influence, molding the country’s spiritual terrain.

Let’s delve into the lives of the seven wealthiest and most influential spiritual gurus and babas, starting with "Sadhguru."

Renowned for his flippantly pragmatic outlook on spirituality and yoga, Sadhguru ("true guru") Jaggi Vasudev, the founder of the Isha Foundation, stands as a prominent spiritual figure.

With a global following numbering in the millions, his estimated net worth, according to the Times of India, stands at Rs 18 crore [1 Rs crore = ten million rupees, so he had 180 million rupees], as of 2023. [His fortune has increased since then].

Sadhguru’s influence extends across yoga centers, educational institutions, and ecological projects within his financial empire. Through his teachings, he imparts "wisdom" on inner engineering and holistic living principles. More

Pinocchio Day: Pineal Gland (3rd Eye) Boy

Crown, brow, throat chakras (Rajasthan 18th century)

• Pinocchio
• Pineal gland
• Third eye
• Chakras
• (Second or Ajna chakra)
• Visionary (seer, rishi)
• Pinocchio paradox (liar)
• Ocular dominance
• Copiale cipher (Occulist Order)
• Dibba cakkhu (one of Buddhism's "higher knowledges" or abhijñā) is the "divine eye," namely, directly knowing others' karmic destinations, their comings and goings according to former deeds; by remembering one's own past lives, one sees how it was all happening in accordance with karma (our own deeds). The latter comes from the previous higher knowledge, to "remember one's former abodes" (pubbe-nivāsanussati), causal memory, that is to say, recalling one's own past lives in their tens, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, and more.

The fruits of monastic life?

The attainment of these six higher powers or knowledges is mentioned in a number of sutras (Buddhist discourses), most famously the "Fruits of Monastic Life Discourse" (Samaññaphala Sutta, DN 2) [8].

• Fruits of Recluseship: Sāmaññaphala
• The Fruits of the Contemplative Life

The attainment of the first four (of eight) meditative absorptions (jhanas) is considered to be a prerequisite for the attainment of the higher powers [5].

The sixth type is the ultimate goal of Buddhism, which is the end of all suffering and the destruction of all ignorance [9].

According to the Buddha, indulgence in these supranormal powers or abhiññās should be avoided, as they can easily distract one from the ultimate goal of enlightenment [4] and liberation.

• Sire, those who have penetrated to a direct understanding of the Four Noble [Ennobling, Enlightening] Truths, seen the truths, understood the Teaching, who have crossed over from perplexity to the Four Fruits of Recluseship and, having obtained the bliss of these fruits, share these fruits with others who are practicing rightly — practitioners such as these, sire, are called fruit-vendors in the Blessed One's City of Dhamma. More (I.B. Horner, Bodhi Leaves 130, BPS)

Similarly, the Three Knowledges or Wisdoms (tevijja or tivijja) are:

1. "Remembering one's former abodes or rebirths" (pubbe-nivāsanussati);
2. The "divine eye" (dibba-cakkhu), the ability to see with inner vision not dependent on the external eyes; and,
3. The "extinction of mental defilements and intoxicants" (āsavakkhaya) [10].

The Three Knowledges are mentioned in numerous sutras, including the Maha-Saccaka Sutta (MN 36) in which the Buddha describes how he obtained each of these Three Knowledges respectively on the first, second, and third watches of the night of his great awakening (bodhi, enlightenment).

These forms of special knowledge are typically listed as arising after the attainment of the fourth meditative absorption (jhana) [11], which is the first of four immaterial absorptions. More

Happy Pinocchio Day (Feb. 23rd)

Le avventure di Pinocchio.
Storia di un burattino (1883)

Pinocchio Day is celebrated on February 23rd every year. The day marks the anniversary of the release of the Disney film of the same name in 1940. Disney’s “Pinocchio” went on to become a global sensation due to its familiarity as a folk tale in Europe. It was based on the 1883 Italian book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. “Pinocchio” followed as Disney studio’s second animated feature-length film after “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” The animated film follows a puppet named Pinocchio in his attempt to become a real human.

History of Pinocchio Day

La statua del pinocchione di Collodi

“The Adventures of Pinocchio” was originally published in a serialized format under the name “The Story of a Puppet” in a weekly magazine, starting on July 7, 1881. The popularity of the series led to all the installments being compiled and published as a novel in 1883. Since then, the misadventures of Pinocchio have become deeply ingrained into the cultural zeitgeist. The book is now considered a canonical piece of children’s literature. The character of Pinocchio has either featured in or been referenced in many pieces of popular fiction since. Source: nationaltoday.com

PHYSICS discovery (Buddhist kalapas)

Meditation nimitta (Kirlian)

Western atheists (the gatekeepers in the academy) run science, so they won't listen to mystics and seers (rishis). Therefore, no scientific lab is investigating KALAPAS (Buddhist subatomic "particles," the original Greek "atoms" (a concept ancient Greece borrowed from Buddhist-influenced ancient Vedic India), the characteristics of materiality or rupa, perceived particles, rúpa-kalapa), or are they without realizing it?

Maybe they are called quarks or strings or bosons, whatever the label. Some thing (not quite a thing or dhamma) is there eluding us, though it may not be a "thing" yet.

• A dhamma or "thing" in this sense of the term refers literally to the "bearer," constitution, or nature of a thing; quality; object of mind (see āyatana) "phenomenon." In all of these meanings the word dhamma is met with in Buddhist texts. The Commentary to the Digha Nikaya (Long Discourses of the Buddha), instances four applications of this term:

1. guna (quality),
2. desanā (instruction),
3. pariyatti (text),
4. nijjīvatā (lifeless, soulless, egoless [without jiva], e.g., "All dhammā [all phenomena] are impersonal").

• The Commentary to the Dhammasangani has hetu (root condition, cause) instead of desanā. Therefore, the analytical knowledge of dhamma [things, phenomena, or the Dhamma/Doctrine] (see patisambhidā) is explained in The Path of Purification (Vis.M. XIV.) and in the Vibhanga as hetumhi-ñāna (jñāna) or "knowledge of causes and conditions."

NOVEL INSIGHT: Source (cause and condition) of dark energy and matter

What scientist can explain this? Yet, a simple Buddhist meditator/reader made sense of it?
What if dark energy is immaterial pre-matter, dark matter is subtle matter, and the rest matter?

Science is dense and not about "seeing directly." That's what Buddhism is about. Scientists are about being ignorant of their biases while attempting to objectively measure and show (prove it to) others without themselves knowing what they're seeing. No scientist believed in invisible radiation until it proved its presence by killing people then showing up on instruments built to translate what was detected into the visual medium of pixels, photons, and screens -- then radiation existed. Pure ideas become essential outlines (blueprints) that become working models.

.

Matter (rupa): immaterial, subtle, tangible
all of it "energy" in a torsion field exhibiting

Imagine a kind of matter (let's call it pre-matter) so ethereal it does not yet reflect light, but it does already begin to exert gravitational pull, magnetism, or other interactions with its environment. That would fit the description of "dark energy" and "dark matter" that scientists know must exist due to their calculations but are as yet unable to directly detect in a way that can be objectively confirmed.

(This is very general, theoretical, arrived at by philosophizing based on the reports of modern meditators and ancient mystics, not materialist-scientists in experimental labs, groping their way to objective truths).

Okar Research: Kalapa, the capital of Shambala

If it (pre-matter) exists, this is how and why it (dark matter) may be behaving the way we experience: It enters this dimension, having built up density, or gaining a sufficient number of neutrinos, photons, allegrons (joyous particles that abhassara-brahmas feed on?), joe-blowons, whatever-ons (some kind of "stem cell particles" with pluripotential power), or kalapas.

It (that pre-matter) changes "lineage," as it were, from fine-material (rupa, sublime) to sensual (sensible, sensory, kama, where we experience it), but it originates in the immaterial (arupa, formless, ethereal, strictly mental state).

What is ultimate reality? Nama-rupa.

• Ah, then, what is mind, what is consciousness? That is another conversation altogether. Note that the Buddha broke down all of experience to just these two ultimately impersonal things, mind (feelings, perceptions, mental formations, consciousness) and body (kaya, rupa, the Four Elements or dhātus taken as one unit). These are the Five Aggregates clung to as self. (See the Heart Sutra for the poetic expression or the Abhidhamma for their pedantic Theravada analysis).
• Who can believe there are only four "elements"? No one. That archaic system was inherited by the Buddha and filled in. What it means is not that there are only four things everything else is made of but that what we conventionally call matter may be broken down into four categories of qualities or characteristics (hardness, cohesion, support, and temperature), which become directly known to one who practices Four Elements meditation. This is not a "theory" but a practice.
• Everything in Buddhism is kind of this way, very packed and needing to be unpacked to understand. For instance, the Four Noble Truths are not four "truisms" to believe. That would be ridiculous. The fourth is the Noble Eightfold Path. There are not only eight "steps" to take to enlightenment (bodhi) and nirvana (vimutti, moksha, ultimate liberation). That would be ridiculous. There are in fact 37 Requisites of Enlightenment. Again, it is a practice, not a theory. Moreover, if we ask what is ultimately true about our existence, the answer is not "nothing." It is Dependent Origination. This is not a belief but a practice. By practicing these things, one directly comes to know and see -- and one is freed from all suffering by that wisdom.
• The Eighteen Elements and Four Ultimate Realities
• If you become a great scientist, the greatest scientist -- a Nicola Tesla, an Issac Newton, an Albie Einstein, you will not be freed, liberated from suffering, a knower of worlds, a noble one. In fact, it will probably ruin you, make you deranged and your hair kinky. However, if you practice the Buddha's Path successfully, not as the greatest practitioner just as a solid one, you will directly know-and-see AND be freed, liberated from ignorance and suffering. It's no contest which would be better to aspire to be, in the world or out. Why did Steven Hawking get so perverse as time went on? It must have been because of the ennobling qualities of scientific data.

What is "energy" in science? It is alpha-omega.

There are, after all, these three spheres (trailokya), according to the Buddha. Consider it in reverse: Things are sensual, tangible and appearing to us. And passing away from here, they are sublimated (rarefied) to the fine-material. And passing away from there, they dissolve and become altogether immaterial (mind-made, ideations, Platonic forms, bodiless, software utterly without hardware, visualizations without tangible expression from whence they came).

This would explain not only the origin of all tangible things -- illusory, maya, in the sense of not being what a thing appears to be (permanent, able to please, or personal) born of mind, mind-made, formless, full of potential but not yet formed -- in this "reality," this simulation, this world that we can touch and feel, but also explain the fine-material (rupa) underlying it, acting as its support, scaffolding, undergirding, armature, foundational substructure, or hidden (unseen) basis.

  How to see the Four Elements

  PRACTICAL EVIDENCE: When we look (with purified, intensified mind) at matter, it breaks down under analysis to smaller and smaller components. Imagine seeing a British house in the distance. It looks like a block. When approached and examined closely, it is many smaller blocks (bricks), piled in heaps of well-arranged (functionally integrated) walls and foundation. What was thought to be one thing is in fact not at all what it seemed. Looking at each block more closely, it breaks down further to molecules and atoms and subatomic particles [then, presumably to wavicles and strings or vibrating energy fields of (gravitational) attraction that, when further condensed, appear to us as matter in various states: temperature, gas, liquid, solid (qualities known as the Four Elements), and sometimes the empty space between these]. How can we know or prove it? Through the meditation described below.*

A thing is a compound of constituents, so if we're looking for indivisible things, we are not likely to find them anytime soon, not with that mindset. We'll miss the forest for the trees.

• Someone once said, "Humans can't see atoms; they're too small."
• "Oh, really," said we then asked: "What do you think you're looking at when you see something?"
• (It's ALL atoms, strung together, arranged just so, reflecting photons and letting neutrinos pass through with little to no interaction. This (dense material dead) hand, for example, is made of atoms. Can you see it? So what are you seeing?
• "Oh, yeah. Atoms! OMG! I didn't realize it."
• Yes, we may not be able to see individual atoms, but we see them all around in the collective, just like one citta is hard to perceive, but the stream of consciousness (mind moments) is easier to discern.

But there is more to a living hand, as revealed by Kirlian photography, aura viewers (like the one Edgar Cayce left instructions for), and the sensitive material in the eye some humans regain, which dogs and other animals may have been using all along to see ghosts, subtle beings, and invisible entities all along. Let's look at the state of the science of subatomic/particle physics with Jade at Up and Atom:

• 

  Clear the mind of assumptions and wrong view

  Stilling the mind in samadhi (meditative absorption known as jhana), one begins to perceive a "sign," a nimitta, usually of light or shadow or some color. It happens naturally with consistent practice. At first it is the "learning sign," but with proper meditative guidance, it can become the "learning sign" and bring one to deeper, subtler levels of absorption. There are eight levels, the first four are form (increasingly rarefied and sublime), and the second four are formless (immaterial). This single-mindedness, often misleadingly rendered "concentration," temporarily purifies the mind so that it can penetrate things as they really are and come to know-and-see things as they really are. This is "meditation," mental cultivation, approaching awakening, letting go, and liberation. The clouded mind will never be able to see things free of distortions and perversions of view.

It took 20 years, but we finally found it

My cuteness or alleged sexiness has no bearing on donations, attention, or popularity of Up and Atom (YouTube), which is solely a function of the depth and frequency of my scientific posts.

• Burma preserves practical Theravada Abhidhamma (the Doctrine/Dhamma in Ultimate Terms, a collection of Buddhist text).The tradition (as promulgated by Pa Auk Sayadaw and his certifiably successful students) spreads to other countries like America, Malaysia, Europe, Sri Lanka, China, and Indonesia, and the result is direct seeing of the ultimate truth of matter: "ultimate materiality" (abhi-rupa) or matter (solids, liquids, gases, and light or flux, the Four Great Elements, mahadhatu, which are not four "things" but four general characteristics of matter made completely real and sensible as a theory by Four Elements Meditation even if we scoff.

*Buddhist physics: Analysis of the causes of rūpa kalāpa

(Dhammavihari Buddhist Studies) Even though one is able to observe the 28 essential substances, it is not enough to realize nirvana. The person [meditator] must still be able to analyze the causes of the arising of the mind-and-matter [nama-rupa, cittas-and-kalapas].

Chan Forest MIP (Instagram)

In this last lecture Sayalay Uttarā explains how to analyze the causes of arising of rūpakalāpa (clusters of matter). There are four causes for the arising of matter (rūpa), namely,

1. karma (kamma, past deeds),
2. consciousness (citta),
3. temperature (utu), and
4. [nourishment] food essence (āhāra).

The matter born of these four causes is called

1. kammajā rūpa kalāpa,
2. cittāja rūpa kalāpa,
3. utujā rūpa kalāpa, and
4. āhārajā rūpa kalāpa.

AHH! I'm beginning to see but using the mind's eye, the dibba cakkhu after purifying the mind.

.
There are nine clusters of matter produced by karma; eight by consciousness; four by temperature, and two by food essence. These 23 clusters of matter must be analyzed by a yogī [Buddhist meditator, cultivator, Dharma-practitioner] to gain the understanding that matter arises through [causes and] conditions and that there is no single entity [no self, ego, God, soul] that controls it.

Of the 28 essential [forms of] matter [ultimate materiality], there are four that arise without a cause [which might explain how everything comes to be, just arising spontaneously of their own nature, not created, not Big Banged, never being brought to an end and therefore not necessitating a beginning or prime mover, not self, not anything but suchness (tathata), just the way things are in and of themselves, like science's definition of "energy"]. [Practice!] Enjoy!

This video is a Dhamma [Pali canon-based Dharma] lecture that is part of the DBS Temporary Pabbajā (monastic ordination, going forth) series of events in 2018. The pabbajjā activity guided by Sayalay Uttarā lasted for 10 days at Chan Forest Mega Mendung [Theravadan Indonesia].

Walaupun seseorang sudah mampu mengamati 28 materi yang hakiki namun hal tersebut belum cukup untuk merealisasi Nibbāna. Orang tersebut masih harus mampu menganalisis sebab kemunculan dari batin dan materi. Di ceramah yang terakhir ini Sayalay Uttarā menjelaskan tentang cara Menganalisis Sebab Kemunculan dari Rūpakalāpa (klaster materi). Ada empat sebab kemunculan dari materi (rūpa) yaitu kamma, kesadaran (citta), temperature (utu) dan sari makanan (āhāra). Materi yang lahir dari keempat sebab tersebut dinamakan kammajā rūpakalāpa, cittāja rūpakalāpa, utujārūpakalāpa dan āhārajā rūpakalāpa. Ada 9 klaster materi yang dihasilkan oleh kamma; 8 oleh kesadaran; 4 oleh temperatur dan 2 oleh sari makanan. Dua puluh tiga klaster materi ini harus bisa dianalisis oleh seorang yogī untuk mendapatkan pemahaman bahwa materi muncul dengan kondisi dan tidak ada satu wujud yang mengendalikannya. Dari 28 materi yang hakiki, ada empat materi yang muncul tanpa sebab. Selamat menikmati! Video ini merupakan ceramah Dhamma yang menjadi bagian dari rangkaian acara Pabbajā Sementara DBS tahun 2018. Kegiatan pabbajjā yang dibimbing oleh Sayalay Uttarā ini berlangsung selama 10 hari di Chan Forest Mega Mendung.

Pinocchio Day: Pineal Gland Eye

I want to be a real person. Mind-blowing truth

"Pinocchio The PINEAL GLAND"

Wait, it's a real day? - Of course it is!

If Italian readers already understand, it's news to the rest of us. Are English speakers ready to understand? You will change.

The divine eye in Buddhism, the dibba cakkhu, is the third eye around the forehead, transcendent vision, the ability to "see" beyond the sight of our human eyes, perhaps rooted deep in the brain where another eye (replete with rods and cones) resides in the complete dark. What subtle waves, what broad spectrum photons, what light source is it responding to?
