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.

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.

"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].

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

The Buddha's relics found in China?

"Relics" are so common now that replicas flood the market and found on Etsy. Real? 😒

Beyond Science with Brilliant Host

(Beyond Science) This name is especially familiar among Buddhists because Scythian (Saka, Shakyamuni) Prince Siddhartha Gautama went on to become the Buddha. Now 2,500-year-old relics (sariras, holy remains) of the Buddha have been found in a Chinese village.

• 

  The Buddha was an arahant but so much more.

  Siddhartha Gautama is THE Buddha because ordinary enlightened individuals, who are very rare and special, are called arahants, those who have achieved bodhi (enlightenment or awakening). But a buddha is far more rare in that "silent buddhas," known as pacceka-buddhas, discover the path, the Middle Way to enlightenment, on their own without a teacher. They are unable to teach that path. Supremely enlightened or samma-sam-buddhas not only discover the path but are able to effectively teach it and establish the Dharma in the world to benefit countless human and deva (shining ones, light-) beings. Although arahants might be called "personal buddhas," they are disciples of one of the extraordinarily rare supremely awakened buddhas. To call the Buddha "Buddha" is to fail to recognize his extraordinary rareness and diminish his importance in this world cycle. Indeed, there have been and will be other buddhas, but they come along so rarely as to be inconceivably precious.

This rare matter has the power to multiply.

In a stunning discovery, 2,500-year-old remains believed to be linked to the historical Buddha were uncovered in a remote Chinese village.

Archeologists and historians are calling this one of the most important spiritual and historical finds in decades. 2,500-Year-Old BUDDHA’s Remains Found in Chinese Village | Watch (MSN)

Inside: Pyramid chemical factory?

The Red Pyramid makes no sense | Exploring three interior chambers | Megalithomania

(MegalithomaniaUK) Nov. 28, 2024: The Red Pyramid of Dahshur, Egypt, is said to be the third pyramid built by Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu, between 2575–2563 BC. (It is the third largest in Egypt). Its red color comes from the reddish limestone, although it was once covered in white tura limestone (like the nearby Bent Pyramid).

In this video Hugh Newman explores the three known inner chambers, questioning what it may have been used for -- an industrial chemical factory, producing ammonia for fertilizer to make the land fertile and productive for a large population? He is joined by Andrew Collins and Yousef Awyan and interviews Geoffrey Drumm of ‪@thelandofchem‬, who explains his theory on how it could have been used to produce ammonia.

The remarkable corbel-vaulted ceilings and intricate stonework suggest this was built by master masons. The unusual third chamber is higher than the other two and originally had no clear access, with rough-hewn cyclopean blocks revealed beneath the floor, which John Anthony West suggested could have once been exposed to the elements due to the weathering on them. (This pyramid, like the others, was built on a far older mound).

The team also look at the mortuary temple and the remains of the pyramidion that was once on top of the structure.

Moon was brought here, has glass dome

I'm an old crank with digestive aggravation.

Richard C. Hoagland is a crank, a pontificating, loudmouth idiot, but he's met his match in Coast to Coast Host George Noory, perhaps the only voice on talk radio dumber than himself. Nevertheless, he's onto something as he tries to do science on the moon from the surface of the earth, with pre-doctored NASA photos and those from other agencies visiting earth's nearest satellite.

I don't dye, get plastic surgery, or have a disease

In an attempt to be a super-scientist and completely objective, he only goes on the data. And the data (mainly that large cache of photos released before being pulled for showing too much and the re-released as worthless coverups) shows that there is a large glass dome, a firmament over the moon. Glass is stronger on the moon due to its atmosphere or lack thereof, plus it is strengthened by another substrate in this very thick glass.

The dome is now full of holes like "Swiss cheese," Hoagland claims. That is how vehicles are able to land on it. But they often fail because most are not told about its dome. Except, the Indians knew it and took polarized lenses on their cameras to make it safely to the surface. Israel, not so much, breaking off an engine in the attempt. His conclusions and speculations will not make sense to anyone who does not examine the evidence.

Relics on cover of the Los Angeles Times

First of all, what is a "relic" (Sanskrit sharira, "subtle body emanation")? It is a part of the body, or more often the post-cremation remnant, of an enlightened person, literally a "saint" or arhat in Buddhism.

• Buddhist Śarīras or "relics"
  
• Buddhist relics of the world

Something about the body transforms at the moment of full enlightenment, arhatship. And the physical proof of this transubstantiation is evident in the ashes of the cremation pyre -- miraculous crystal like "beads" and bone fragments, colorful concretions, formations, inexplicable pieces of glass with the unique property of multiplying and disappearing and reappearing.

Buddhist miracles and marvels today?

Special glass containers with various relics (WQ)

It is easy to imagine that when a revered teacher passes away, her or his students, wishing to "prove" their teacher was an enlightened meditation master, might toss in bags of sand or something. Then with great heat brought about by binding in prodigious amounts of wood, linen wrappings, and oil the glass might melt into beads.

That would be one hot fire to congeal sand into glass like an atomic blast. Yet, it would still not explain the marvelous powers of the remains. Everything burns up, but these colorful glassy formations grow, appear, multiply, disappear, teleport, and give coherence to meditation in their vicinity. People more easily enter states of profound concentration (stillness, one-pointedness, serenity, calm, joy, samadhi) when they meditate.

Ven. Abbot Yong Hua holds relics (MS)

The abbot, Master Yong Hua, is very generous and from time to time is drawn to give one or more away. Then those blessed persons experience miracles -- seeing the relics multiply (or disappear if they are not worthy of them for lack of virtue or sufficient respect).

September 7th 2015 Event

Massive collection of the Buddha's relics goes on display in Los Angeles on Sept. 7, 2015 at Lu Mountain Temple in California. The collection includes teeth, the Buddha's finger bone, hair, and thousands of colorful crystallized shariras formed when the Buddha's body was cremated.

The 10,000 Buddha Relics Collection is the largest collection of its kind in existence in the United States. To our knowledge it is the biggest in the world, with the possible exception of the collection gathered by Tibetan Buddhists and deposited in Kusinagar, India, at the future site of the world's largest Buddha statue (of Maitreya, the "Buddha-to-come," see maitreyarelictour.com). Two teeth and one finger bone of the Buddha will be on display and are among the most sacred relics of the Buddha and his immediate enlightened disciples in the world today.

U.N. on Catholic Church's child sexual abuse

Gay priests rape our boys? Who am I to judge?

The United Nations has issued its harshest condemnation to date of the Catholic Church cover-up of child molestations by priests.

 

In a new report, the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child says the Vatican has consistently placed its reputation above the welfare of child sexual abuse victims. Panel chair Kirsten Sandberg said the Vatican has enabled a culture of impunity that has wronged tens of thousands of children. Kirsten Sandberg:

C'mon, all popes cover-up for child molestaters.

"With regard to child sexual abuse committed by members of the Catholic churches who operate under the authority of the Holy See, that is, clerics who have been involved in the sexual abuse of tens of thousands of children worldwide, the main finding of the committee was that the Holy See has adopted policies and practices which have led to the continuation of the abuse by and the impunity of the perpetrators. The Holy See has consistently placed the preservation of the reputation of the church and the protection of the perpetrators above children’s best interests."

The U.N. report calls on the Vatican to hand over alleged or known abusers to law enforcement worldwide and release its entire archive on child sex abuse cases.

LOS ANGELES - Wouldn't it be something to ride bikes from the base of the mountains to the lip of the sea that foams as it surges towards the foothills? The wilds of the Angeles Forest wilderness (part of the Sierra Madre mountain range) give way down the concrete expanse.

WARNING: Hip hop, rap, and dizzying POV bike ride

The bike path narrows, expands, consumes the sprawl from crumbling Angel's crest to Saint Monica's Bay. Below its miniature lanes, there's a river, the San Gabriel arm of the L.A. Ganges. It runs the Way of the winding arroyo-Tao.

We would sweat and we would tire; we would breathe and we would smile. We would widen the Tao of bound shilagit sheets under our feet, oozing from our cruising. We exercise as we glide and glide -- Astro' to astral, Hyperion to a Satyr, all the way down to the plant by the bay. Toward the sand, fumbling, standing on seats, sitting on bars, belly laughing, golden gleaming, feet warming, foreheads steaming.

We can walk the idle wilds in view of the skyscrapers, the fresh fragrance sky blue, cool, aerodynamic, washing over our skin.

Concrete banks glimmer like an ancient Roman pantheon, honoring an entire corps of engineers. Bradbury could bury us in hardening sand, like so many skipping stones. We would wash out along the Long sand, soft again, by the pyramid on the campus of Cal State Long Beach with its glimmering glass monument.

Storytelling advice to WQ from Ira Glass

Shame Rules: Irish Catholic Abuse Report

A culture of guilt and shame on both sides of the pews: Adults homosexually molested as children by "celibate," pedophile priests and bishops has the Church in another PR debacle. Recently condemning condom use, the religious arm of the Holy Roman Empire not only condoned rape, assaults, and humiliation -- it knowingly aided and abetted priests for decades even as it is presumably doing today. Many Irish are following in the steps of British citizens who want little to do with traditional religious institutions. This, of course, is of concern to WQ because few Westerners are born Buddhists. Instead, most of us were Catholics, Hindus, Jains, Jews, urban shamans, and science aficionados (i.e., agnostics or atheists), including a few Neo-Pagans. By tradition -- since Buddhism does not mean the relinquishment of previous affiliations -- many of us are at least nominally still members of those institutions. Therefore, not only does it seem necessary to spotlight these abuses for child victims and adult survivor, but for the sake of "religion" itself in the face of outrageous hypocrisy.

Catholic Church shamed by Irish abuse report
Shawn Pogatchnik (AP)

DUBLIN – After a nine-year investigation, a commission published a damning report Wednesday on decades of rapes, humiliation, and beatings at Catholic Church-run reform schools for Ireland's castaway children.

The 2,600-page report painted the most detailed and damning portrait yet of church-administered abuse in a country grown weary of revelations about child molestation by priests.

The investigation of the tax-supported schools uncovered previously secret Vatican records that demonstrated church knowledge of pedophiles in their ranks all the way back to the 1930s.

Wednesday's five-volume report on the probe — which was resisted by Catholic religious orders — concluded that church officials shielded their orders' pedophiles from arrest amid a culture of self-serving secrecy.

"A climate of fear, created by pervasive, excessive and arbitrary punishment, permeated most of the institutions and all those run for boys. Children lived with the daily terror of not knowing where the next beating was coming from," Ireland's Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse concluded.

Victims of the abuse, who are now in their 50s to 80s, lobbied long and hard for an official investigation. They say that for all its incredible detail, the report doesn't nail down what really matters — the names of their abusers.

"I do genuinely believe that it would have been a further step towards our healing if our abusers had been named and shamed," said Christine Buckley, 62, who spent the first 18 years of her life in a Dublin orphanage where children were forced to manufacture rosaries — and were humiliated, beaten and raped whether they achieved their quota or not.

The Catholic religious orders that ran more than 50 workhouse-style reform schools from the late 19th century until the mid-1990s offered public words of apology, shame and regret Wednesday. But when questioned, their leaders indicated they would continue to protect the identities of clergy accused of abuse — men and women who were never reported to police, and were instead permitted to change jobs and keep harming children.

The Christian Brothers, which ran several boys' institutions deemed to have harbored serial child molesters and sadists on their staff, insisted it had cooperated fully with the probe. The order successfully sued the commission in 2004 to keep the identities of all of its members, dead or alive, unnamed in the report. No real names, whether of victims or perpetrators, appear in the final document.

The Christian Brothers' leader in Ireland, Brother Kevin Mullan, said the organization had been right to keep names secret because "perhaps we had doubts about some of the allegations."

"But on the other hand, I'd have to say that at this stage, we have no interest in protecting people who were perpetrators of abuse," Mullan said, vowing to "cooperate fully with any investigation or any civil authority seeking to explore those matters."

Buckley, who said she was abused at an orphanage run by the Sisters of Mercy, which ran several refuges for girls where the report documented chronic brutality, said the religious orders for years branded the victims as money-seeking liars — and were incapable of admitting their guilt today.

She criticized Mullan for suggesting that "today, having read the report, he doesn't mind if the abusers are named and shamed. Isn't that a little bit late for us?"

The report found that molestation and rape were "endemic" in boys' facilities, chiefly run by the Christian Brothers order, and supervisors pursued policies that increased the danger. Girls supervised by orders of nuns, chiefly the Sisters of Mercy, suffered much less sexual abuse but frequent assaults and humiliation designed to make them feel worthless.

"In some schools a high level of ritualized beating was routine. ... Girls were struck with implements designed to maximize pain and were struck on all parts of the body," the report said. "Personal and family denigration was widespread."

Ireland's myriad religious orders, much like their mother church, have been devastated by 15 years of scandals involving past cover-ups of abusers in their ranks.

The Christian Brothers have withdrawn from running several schools that still bear their name and the order has had few recruits in Ireland in the past two decades. Other orders are down to a handful of members, and their bases are closer to nursing homes than active missions.

"Most of these orders will literally die out in Ireland within the next generation or so," said Michael Kelly, editor of the Irish Catholic newspaper in Dublin. "Many of them are already in wind-up mode. They lack the confidence even to seek new vocations (recruits), due to the stigma associated with their members' shocking, scandalous behavior."

The Irish government, which in 1999 apologized for its role in permitting decades of abuse and established the commission to nail down the full truth of the matter, has tried to use money to bring closure to the victims.

A government-appointed panel has paid 12,000 survivors of the schools, orphanages and other church-run residences an average of $90,000 each — on condition they surrender their right to sue either the church or state. About 2,000 more claims are pending. Irish Catholic leaders cut a controversial deal with the government in 2001 that capped the church's contribution at $175 million — a fraction of the final cost.

Some victims emphasized, even as they began thumbing through the report, that nothing — not even criminal convictions of their long-ago tormentors — will ever put right their psychological wounds and make their nightmares go away.

Tom Sweeney, who spent five years in two Christian Brothers-run institutions where he was placed for truancy, says he suffered sexual abuse and beatings. He also has bitter memories about more everyday humiliations — such as being forced to wrap his urine-stained sheets around his neck and parade in front of other children when he'd wet his bed.

"It's something you'll never forget, the way you lived in these industrial schools," he said.
