• 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

The Pineal Gland | The Third Eye of Mysticism | JRE Tidbits - Perverted Disney film from 1940

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

COMMENTARY

 

Living Enlightenment (Fraud)

Young students of fraudulent Indian sex cult guru Nithyananda also demonstrated this ability and reported to us that they really did learn this ability. They did not seem to regard it as "magic" but rather as a normal human capacity that can be learned. The physically blind need not be blind, just as a man may make sounds and learn (by the brain restructuring itself with consistent practice) echolocation. Those children showed us this ability at Wisdom Quarterly and displayed it in front of hundreds of faithful Hindu onlookers at the now defunct Nithyananda Ashram on the outskirts of Los Angeles County East.

Breathwork for pineal gland: open third eye

(The School of Breath) Breathing techniques (and bandhas or chakra locks) to activate pineal gland and open third eye (with instant results).

A bandha (Sanskrit बंध) is a kriyā [simple action] in Hatha Yoga, being a kind of internal mudra [disposition or pose] described as a "body lock" [1][2].

It is done to seal or lock the vital energy (prana) into a particular part of the body, such as the area of one of the spinal chakras or energy wheel centers. Bandha literally means bond, fetter, or "catching hold of" [3][4][5]. More

Mindfulness of breathing is letting go of control

Mindfulness in Plain English

It is easy to misunderstand and mistakenly think that we are being "mindful" of the breath by controlling (holding it in, exhaling out, making it long or short or like a bellows). This is completely wrong. To be mindful, we radically allow, accept, and observe it as it is, however it is. There is no attempt to control it. By watching it with great interest but noninvolvement, not wishing for it to do anything different than it is doing, we radically accept it and remain observant. This kind of watching, observing, keen interest will bring us to stillness (right-concentration, samma-samadhi, coherent all-togetherness of mind, super consciousness).

Uddiyana bandha in a Western yoga class (wiki)

Breath work, on the other hand, is manipulation of the breath (retention, expulsion, tightening, speeding up, bellowing, etc.) for some other purpose, such as wrestling it, forcing it, extending it, and so on in the play/work of yoga (union with spirit or spiritus, the "holy spirit" that is the subtle breath sometimes called pneuma or prana).

When it is time to practice mindfulness (satipatthana) of it, just watch. But keep watching no matter how fine it gets, even when it seems to disappear for stretches. Remain at the tip of the nostrils waiting for it, like a shepherd who has no need of going out to find wandering livestock, knowing that simply waiting by the waterhole, such livestock will surely return of their own accord. This sort of watching of the breath is then broadened to other parts of the

1. body
2. feelings
3. mind
4. phenomena (dhammas, not the Dhamma or Dharma).

All of this is spelled out in detail in the "Discourse on the Fourfold Setting Up of Mindfulness," popularly known as the "Four Foundations of Mindfulness Sutra" (Satipatthana Sutta), of which there are two, one a little longer than the other.

Alex Kenton Grey Velzy (born in Colombus, Ohio on Nov. 29th, 1953) is an American visual artist, author, teacher, and Vajrayana Buddhist practitioner.

He known for creating spiritual and psychedelic artwork such as his 21-painting Sacred Mirrors series [1].

He works in multiple forms including performance art, process art, installation art, sculpture, visionary art, and painting.

Sanskrit Vajra (Tibetan dorje): thunderbolt

He is on the board of advisors for the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics and is the Chair of Wisdom University's Sacred Art Department.

He and his wife Allyson Grey are the co-founders of The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM), a non-profit organization in Wappingers Falls, New York [2]. More

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.

Sakka (Indra) with vajra, lotus

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

Dicyanin glass banned for seeing auras?

(Wicked Mysterious) Dicyanin glass: banned for seeing auras?

Human chakras (energy wheels)

It is fascinating what is hidden from us. Edgar Cayce, America's "Sleeping Prophet," gave detailed instructions on how to build a device that is able to see the aura he spoke of so frequently in his readings (edgarcayce.org). Where is this device? More importantly, where are those original instructions? If they still existed unaltered, someone would have assembled one.

The Buddha could see auras and had a tremendous one himself that others may have been able to see as it extended out a league, according to legend.

Crystals might help in building and seeing auras

Humans, science has recently discovered, emit light. If so, it must vary due to mood, health, vibrancy, youth, emotions, mental states, and so on. It would hardly be static and lifeless. Kirlian photography records something beyond an electrical discharge -- because if it did not, how could one explain that a hand with a missing finger when viewed by Kirlian photography shows the missing finger? A freshly cut leaf shows the missing piece as if it is still there energetically.

• Halo (religious iconography)

Scientific studies

Dr. Walter John Kilner, MRCP, published The Human Atmosphere: Or the Aura Made Visible by the Aid of Chemical Screens in 1911.

It is one of the first Western medical studies of the aura or "human atmosphere," proposing its testable existence, nature, and possible use in medical diagnosis and prognosis.

In its conviction that our human energy field is an indicator of health and mood, Dr. Kilner's study resembles the later work of Harold Saxton Burr. However, while Burr relied on voltmeter readings, Dr. Kilner, working before the advent of semiconductor technology, attempted to invent devices by which the naked eye could be trained to observe "auric" activity.

He hypothesized that it was ultraviolet radiation, stating that the phenomena he saw were not affected by electromagnets [2].

Dicyanin coated glass slides were called "Kilner Screens" [3]. The slides were treated with alcoholic solutions of variously colored dyes and held to train the eyes to perceive electromagnetic radiation outside the normal spectrum of visible light [4], namely, N-rays.

The human aura (sanacionpranicavioleta.com)

"A fine aura" of a [fine] naked woman

Treatment of the screens notably involved dicyanin, a toxic coal tar dye originally used in infrared sensitization of photographic plates.

While this dye is rumored to be banned by the US government due to its paranormal properties, these claims are inaccurate.

Dr. Kilner reported that long-term viewing through these screens was not recommended as they "had a very deleterious effect upon our eyes, making them very painful." But after regular viewing and sufficient training, one could dispense with the apparatus [and still see auras].

Dr. Kilner's illustration of a healthy woman with "a very fine aura" [and a not bad naked body] from The Human Atmosphere

According to his study, Dr. Kilner and his associates were able, on many occasions, to perceive auric formations, which he called the "Etheric Double," the Inner Aura and the Outer Aura, extending several inches from patients' naked bodies.

His book gives instructions by which the reader might construct and use similar devices [2]. More

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].

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]. In addition to practicing meditation, the participants also received a Dhamma shower from Sayalay Uttarā through six lectures. DBS also provided a DVD of the Pariyatti Sāsana [text dispensation, intellectual instruction]. Class lecture by Ashin Kheminda.

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. Selain berlatih meditasi, para peserta juga mendapatkan siraman Dhamma dari Sayalay Uttarā melalui kegiatan ceramah yang dilakukan sebanyak 6 kali. DBS juga menyediakan DVD ceramah Kelas Pariyatti Sāsana oleh Ashin Kheminda.
