Graham Hancock: Buddhist cave temple

We agree. Humans did not build this. The devas ("shining ones," extraterrestrial visitors from two planes of existence up, from a world known as the World of the Thirty-Three or Tavatimsa deva loka) came down and used their space technology with human help and alien tools.

Scientists discover ancient Buddhist structure carved inside of a mountain that defies all logic
Map of the many Ellora Caves
(LifesBiggestQuestions) May 14, 2024: Prepare to be amazed. Scientists have stumbled upon an ancient Buddhist structure carved [laser cut] directly into a rock mountain that defies all logical explanation.

This mind-blowing discovery challenges our understanding of history and engineering. Let's delve into the mysteries surrounding this incredible Buddhist archeological site known as the Kailasa Temple in the Ellora Cave complex, exploring its intricate carvings, baffling architecture, and the theories about who built it and why.

US Moon Lander fails as Japan succeeds

Team Comedy (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly; Noor Al-Sibai (Futurism); Dick Speed (The Register)
NASA’s new moon lander is turning into a disaster (Futurism/msn.com)
.
Stars suddenly visible? That pale blue dot is BS.
Once upon a time a group of American scientists went to an international tech conference in Tokyo, bragging about how great capitalism is for scientific advances.
CGI or artist's rendition of Japan's SLIM
But then they saw what the Japanese had built with government support to land on the moon and rove around. They were abashed, so they bragged about future plans for their next project after conquering the Moon.

"What's that?" the Japanese scientists asked the Americans, curious about getting to the next celestial body. "Mars, Venus?"

 "The Sun!" the Americans boasted.

The Japanese were dumbfounded at America's great boldness.

"But how," one Japanese engineer inquired, "will you overcome the heat?"

The American team scoffed, "Ha, that's easy! We'll be landing at night."


The Japanese team giggled behind the American team's back, "We'll concentrate on the Moon."

"Whatever," the U.S. team dismissed the other science teams, "we've already conquered the Moon! We can do it again easy. We have Elon Musk!"

"Oh thoughtless mortals! ever blind to fate,
Too soon dejected, and too soon elate!
Sudden, these honours shall be snatch'd away,
And curs'd for ever this victorious day.
For lo! the board with cups and spoons is crown'd,
The [walkies] crackle, and the mill turns round.
On shining altars of JAPAN they raise
The silver lamp; the [SLIM lander doth] blaze."
-Alexander Pope, "The Rape of the Lock"
Look, you can even see the curvature of our moon
The private capitalist company Intuitive Machines -- backed by NASA technology, boosted by Elon Musk's private SpaceX Corporation launcher -- has failed miserably in its propaganda campaign of pretending to land on the moon a second time 52 years after putting the USSR to shame with fake footage of a first landing. What can we do? I know! Let's throw more money at the problem. That fixes everything. Who cares that everyone is trying to claim the lunar surface or that the Earth's satellite is hollow, watery, and full of enslaved beings! We're cleared to take the surface, if we can get to it. And Eric Dubay says we can't, even if it's actually very close and smaller than we've been told.
  • LANDER BLUES: NASA's new Moon lander may have touched down in one piece, but the story keeps getting more embarrassing and underwhelming for the space agency. Intuitive Machines, the company that built the Odysseus lander, said in a series of updates posted on its website and on X (Twitter) that although the craft is online and beaming images back to Earth, its operators believe it won't be able to keep up communications for much longer [as the battery dies and fails to get charged by solar panels].
  • Machine breaks through digging HS2’s longest tunnel
  • American Odysseus probe moonwalking on the edge of battery life after [tipping over] (Dick Speed, The Register, 2/27/24) Controllers estimate 10-20 hours remain for Intuitive Machines lander. Intuitive Machines' Odysseus Lunar Lander is facing another countdown. This time the question is how much longer it can continue to operate until it exhausts what remains of the battery life.… On Monday, flight controllers reckoned they had until Tuesday morning before communication with the lander [died and] ceased [until Japan's SLIM can come by and give it a nudge, lift, or something]. At the time of writing, controllers hoped there might be as much as 10-20 hours of battery life remaining. While the landing has been called a success, surviving a few days on the lunar surface is far from the original plan of seven days or more before the lunar night arrived and Odysseus ceased operations. The question now is exactly how much work the stricken lander can actually do on the Moon, considering it is on its side -- or "on the wonk," as one space agency insider memorably told us to put it more nicely -- with its battery life fast depleting. According to Intuitive Machines, the lander has "efficiently sent payload science data and imagery in furtherance of the Company's mission objectives." More

UFOs (vimanas) in ancient Buddhist texts

SUTRA: "Throne Celestial Mansion Discourse"
Devas = "shining ones"
Fully enlightened Maha Moggallana asked a devi ("shining one") about the fortunate being's previous skillful karma ripening now in all of these desirable things.

Ven. Moggallana: Devata, you are sitting on a golden throne [vimana, interactive chariot helm, an "immeasurable space vehicle," capable of traveling anywhere]. It flies wherever you want as quickly as you want. You are beautifully dressed, wearing garlands of flowers; you are radiant, like lightning shining through the clouds.

Vimanas can be big, "sky mansions"
What kind of meritorious action (kusala karma) did you do when you were in the human world to have gained this beauty (glory) that shines in all directions, and what deeds earned all of these wonderful things?

The devata, delighted at being questioned by the famous Ven. Moggallana, gladly explained what she had done that resulted in such great good fortune and happiness.

Devi = female shining one, anjali mudra
Devata: Venerable, when I was in the human world, a [Buddhist] monk visited our house, and I prepared a seat for him to sit on. Raising my hands (in anjali mudra) and putting my palms and fingers together, I saluted that monk respectfully.

I also offered alms food to him. Because of these meritorious deeds, I have been reborn as a very beautiful devata and enjoy all of the wonderful things that delight my heart. Great venerable, these are the meritorious deeds I did to gain such a beautiful body that shines in all directions.

UFOs in Jain literature
This famous painting is of Mahavira, so much like the Buddha that most think it is him.
Jain cities in India are very close to Buddhist places of significance, and one sees many statues one immediately assumes are the Buddha. In fact, they are Mahavira, often shown naked.
Jainism, like Buddhism, talks about other spheres, planes of existence, and UFOs (vimanas).
.
Jain "enlightenment" differs from Buddhism.
(WQ) Jainism is the religion most analogous to Buddhism, as both are the only two surviving shramana ("wandering ascetic") traditions from antiquity; both opposed the Brahmanism of temple priests (Brahmins) in favor of direct experience of the truth. The founder Mahavira ("Great Hero," a common epithet also applied to the Buddha, along with other names) is called Nigantha Nattaputta in Buddhist texts. In fact, some believe that Jainism may have been a splinter group of very strict Buddhist ascetics.
  • Mahavira (aka Nigantha Nattaputta) is a jina, which is where the term "Jainism" comes from (like Buddha in Buddhism or "Awakened One" in "Awakenism"),
(Wiki edited by WQ) In Jainism, a
Shape of the universe
vimāna-vāsin
("vimāna-dweller") is a class of "shining ones" or devas ("deities") who served the Tīrthaṃkara Mahā-vīra ("Fordmaker Great-Hero") [6].

These Vaimānika deities dwell in the Ūrdhva Loka planes (celestial or space spheres). According to the Kalpa Sūtra of Bhadra-bāhu, the 24th Tīrthaṃkara Mahā-vīra himself emerged from the great vimāna Puṣpa-uttara [7], whereas the 22nd Tīrthaṃkara Ariṣṭa-nemi emerged from the great vimāna Aparijita [8].

Jainism was great to women
The Tīrthaṃkaras Abhinandana (4th) and Sumati-nātha (5th) both [9] traveled through the sky [akasha, unbounded space] in the Jayanta-vimāna, namely the "great vimāna Sarva-artha-siddhi, which was owned by [10] the Jayanta devas, whereas the Tīrthaṃkara Dharma-nātha (15th) traveled through the sky in the Vijaya-vimāna [11].

A vimāna (spaceship, heavenly mansion, celestial platform) may be seen in a dream, such as the nalinī-gulma [12, 13]. More
  • My professor at UC Berkeley
    Just as the historical Buddha Siddhartha Gautama spoke of 23 previous buddhas (even a prehistoric Siddhartha, the 16th), Mahavira simultaneously spoke of 23 previous tirhamkaras or "ford-makers" (to cross the flood of samsara to the further shore, which for Buddhists is nirvana and for Jains is rebirth in a lofty unconscious world that sounds suspiciously like an immaterial sphere described by the Buddha. Coincidence or the same historical figure?
  • Prof. Jaini had such an enormous ego that he named his poor-quality thesis, which was hardly fit to be published at all, "The Jaina Path of Purification" after the ancient enlightened Ven. Buddhaghosa's (Buddha's Ghost) magnum opus, the Path of Purification of Visuddhimagga. There are many better books on Jainism.
Buddhism is a unique Dharma because it teaches the liberating truth of anatta, that all things are impersonal. Jainism, like the Vedas, Brahmins, Hindus, and every other religion teaches that there is a self, an immortal soul, that is eternal and unchanging. The soul (atta) is changing at every moment, is constantly perishing, and therefore is neither immortal nor -- in the ultimate sense -- existing. Dependent Origination exists and explains why the Five Aggregates get clung to by the aggregates themselves as a momentary "self" or "eternal soul." So Jainism differs from the parallel Buddhist tradition it is otherwise so similar to that it is almost impossible to distinguish them.

Buddhist legend: "The War in Heaven"

The Deva-Asura War
Sakka (St. Michael) defeats a dragon (wiki)
The Asuras ("Titans") formerly lived in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three (Pali Tavatimsa, Sanskrit Trāyastriṃśa), the world on the peak of Mt. Sumeru with the other Shining Ones of that world.

When Sakka, King of the Devas (Śakra, Indra, analogous to Archangel Michael) became the ruler of that world, the Titans celebrated by drinking a lot of gandapāna wine, a celestial alcohol so strong that Sakka forbade the other Shining Ones from drinking it.

Asura in Kōfuku-ji, Nara, 734, Japan
Weakened by their drunkenness, the Titans could not resist when Sakka had the whole lot of them thrown over the edge of the World of the Thirty-Three into what would become the Titan-world at the base of the mythical mountain Mt. Sumeru.

A tree grows there called cittapātali. When the Titans saw it blossom, they realized that it was different from the pāricchattaka (Sanskrit pāriyātra) tree which had grown in their old home, and they knew that they were dispossessed.

They now contemplated war. In armor and weapons, they climbed up the steep slopes of Mt. Sumeru "like ants." Sakka set out to meet them, but he was forced to retreat because of their numbers.

Garuda/Avian, Delhi (wiki)
Passing through the forest where the Avians (Garuḍas) live on his flying chariot [UFO, spaceship, vimana], Sakka saw that his passage was destroying the nests of the Avians and ordered his charioteer Mātali to turn back.

When the pursuing Titans saw Sakka turn around, they felt certain that he must be coming back with an even larger army. So they fled, ceding all the ground they had gained (Robert Chalmers, 1895, "No. 31, Kulāvaka-Jātaka," The Jataka [Rebirth Tales] Volume I).

Despite their many wars, there was eventually a partial concord between the Shining Ones of the World of the Thirty-Three and the dispossessed Titans.

This came about because Sakka fell in love with Shachi (aka Sujā), daughter of a Titan chieftain named Vepacitti (Sanskrit, Vemacitrin).

Vepacitti had given Sujā the right to choose her own husband at an assembly of the Titans, and she chose Sakka, who had attended disguised as an aged Titan. Vepacitti therefore became Sakka's father-in-law.
Sakka as St. Michael
Sakka (St. Michael) and Vepacitta
Before he was reborn as Sakka, King of the Devas, due to his unusually good karma (keeping seven vows), he was a human named Magha of Macala (Western "Michael"). He is also called Maghava. He is the ruler of two celestial worlds above this earth (bhumi) among Buddhist cosmology's 31 Planes of Existence. He rules the "World of the Thirty-Three" with 33 other "lords," and he is the king of four regents one world down, the "Realm of the Four Great Regent-Kings" of the four cardinal directions in space. His nemesis is the Asura-Titan chief Vepacitta, now his father-in-law. Sakka is not a unique figure but a station like the presidency because every "world-system" (cakkavala) has one. More

Space aliens built Buddhist temples? (video)

Ellora Caves: The Mind-Boggling Rock-Cut Buddhist Temples of India
Rock-cut Buddha statues in Ajanta cave
There were no caves here to begin with. How are we to comprehend the 100+ artificial Ellora caves and Ajanta caves? How were they built? By space-devas?

Somehow the massive Ellora complex of publicly visible 34 unique structures has been magically cut out of pure rock, into the side of a mountain, without the use of "modern" technology. This construction would be difficult if not impossible to replicate today.


This never-before-seen documentary closely looks at the intricate Buddhist temple and suggests — as have many archaeologists on the ground — that thousands of years ago, ancient cultures were far more advanced and sophisticated than scholars are generally willing to give them credit for. Who handed them that level of technology?

We call them "caves" but they are much more
What baffles experts at Ellora is the incredible precision, not possible by hand, and extensive layout of the design imposed on the rock. It is plausible that whoever or whatever built these caves was using unknown advanced ancient-alien technology.

Cave 16, the magnificent Kailasa Temple, is notable for being the largest monolithic structure in the world! It was carved out of a single rock.

Remote viewing: A Trip to the Moon (video)

.
The Moon (Buddhist Soma, Vedic Chandra, Latin Luna) is of special significance in Buddhism.

It is the ancient lunar observance (uposatha, the Buddhist "fasting" day, where fast means not eating after noon) eight-precept day.

The Eight Precepts
  1. I undertake to abstain from harming or taking life (human or non-human).
  2. I undertake to abstain from taking what is not given (stealing, misappropriation, fraud, displacements that may cause misunderstandings).
  3. I undertake to abstain from sexual activity.
  4. I undertake to abstain from wrong speech: perjury, divisiveness, slander, harsh words.
  5. I undertake to abstain from intoxicating drinks and drugs, which lead to heedlessness or carelessness.
  6. I undertake to abstain from eating at the inappropriate time (the right time being after sunrise but before noon).
  7. I undertake to abstain from singing, dancing, playing music, attending entertainment performances, wearing perfume, and using cosmetics and garlands (decorations).
  8. I undertake to abstain from high and luxurious seats and beds and overindulging in sleep.
Our Trip to the Moon


    In honor of this we will explore its mysteries first hand with a guided meditation involving "remote viewing" like Ingo Swann taught for the US government.
