Science: AI decodes CROW language

(Galaxy Vault) Is a Crow a surprisingly intelligent "avian ape" smaller than a Raven?

Mahakala
Ven. Thanissaro (trans) edited by Wisdom Quarterly (Thag 2.16 PTS: Thag 151-152)

A swarthy woman,
[preparing a corpse for cremation]
crow-like and enormous,
breaking one thigh then the other,
breaking one arm then the other,
cracking open the head
like a claypot of curds,
sits with them heaped up beside her.

Whoever, unknowing,
makes acquisitions,
that fool
returns over and over
to disappointment and suffering.
Discerning,
making no acquisitions,
may I never again lie
with my head cracked open.

Sankicca
Ven. Thanissaro (trans) edited by Wisdom Quarterly (Thag 11.1 PTS: Thag 597-607)
What do you want in the woods, my boy?
You're like a bird [1] exposed to the rain.
Monsoons refresh you.
Seclusion is for those in meditative absorption (jhana).
As monsoon winds drive the clouds during the rainy season,
so thoughts concerning seclusion impel me.

A black crow, making its home in a charnel ground
[of corpses], inspires within me mindfulness
— rooted in dispassion for — the body [2].

One whom others guard not, who do not guard others,
such a monastic who lies down in ease, unconcerned
with sensual passions.

With clear waters and massive boulders,
frequented by monkeys and deer,
covered with moss and water weeds,
such rocky crags refresh me.

I have lived in wildernesses, canyons, and caves,
isolated dwellings frequented by predator and prey,
but never have I known an ignoble, aversive resolve:
"May these beings be destroyed, be slaughtered, fall into pain."
The Teacher has been served by me;
The Awakened One's bidding I have done;
This heavy load I have laid down;
The guide to becoming [3] uprooted.
And the goal for which I set forth from the home life into the left-home life
I have reached: the end of all fetters.
I delight not in death, delight not in living.
I await my time like a worker his wages.
I delight not in death, delight not in living.
I await my time mindful, alert.

NOTES
  • 1. Ujjuhaana. The Commentary offers two interpretations for this word. The first is that it is a hill covered with jungle and many streams that tend to overflow during the rainy season. The other is that it is the name of a bird that can stay comfortable even when exposed to cold, wind, and rain. The second alternative has been chosen here. K.R. Norman speculates that the term could be written ujjahaana, in which case it would be the present participle for a verb meaning "abandoned or cast off." However, none of the manuscripts support this speculation.
  • 2. In other words, the sight of the crow taking up residence in skulls and other body parts provided a chastening perspective on how the mind takes up residence in the body [for each rebirth in the sensual sphere].
  • 3. The guide to becoming [rebirth, relinking, rearising, reappearing, being reborn] is craving.

US woman regularly meets with ET aliens

Coast to Coast, 8/29/23; Pat Macpherson, Seth Auberon, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Are more coming? Is that one of their motherships? - Um, I think they want to breed again.
.
Bonnie V. Meyer
Bonnie V. Meyer (thelightside.org) considered herself an ordinary all-American earthling human Christian person, living a normal life -- until ETs in UFOs interrupted that life.

After attempting to debunk the mysterious phenomena around her, she directly experienced ALIEN CONTACT.

She has spent her life ever since investigating space aliens and UFOs (UAPs), attending conferences, and channeling.
There are now many extraterrestrial alien conferences throughout the US (thealiencon.com)
.
Abducted: DNA hybridization?
She discusses various types of extraterrestrial aliens and what they want from earthling humans.

Different alien beings have visited our planet on and off, she said, for a very long time.

"There is a group that I worked with, and they are here keeping an eye on the planet because they know we're in trouble," she claims, adding that they are part of the "Love and Light System" and visit where they are needed.

Meyer live at West Bend Books

This tattooed gent is 100% genetically human.
However, due to a "law" or rule of the galaxy or universe or this dimension, they do not directly interfere with native species visited.

"I was at a meeting, and there were 16 different types of aliens [in attendance]," she reveals, and they were noting that if things get bad, there could be a possible evacuation of the planet and collection of plant and animal specimens [for genetic preservation].

Meyer is describing an Avian (Garuda, Suparna) in Indian mythology/Buddhist cosmology.
.
Garuda (Hyougushi/Delhi)
While some of the space aliens are human in appearance, one of her alien [avian] contacts does not look human at all: He is blue, over 7 feet tall, has a beak like an eagle, a thin body, long neck and arms, and talons rather than fingers.

"He is the captain of a large [mother-] ship that is about the size of Chicago, and it's outside of our atmosphere. It can't come in as it's too large, and it's a place where many aliens come, and they have meetings there," she discloses on this episode of Coast to Coast AM last night.

This hideous plastic surgery disaster is Madonna
Ms. Meyer says that extraterrestrial aliens have different agendas, and we would perceive some as beneficial and others as negative. There are good and bad one in every group, just as humans have good and bad members. Not all Greys and Reptilians are bad, not all Avians and Humans are good.
Space alien ET have been visiting earth for millennia as ancient cave paintings show.
What do the statues in the East depict but our avian (winged deva) ET alien visitors?
Does anybody wonder whatever happened to Georgie "The Hair" Tsoukalos? (He's History)

Money woes: Naga versus Garuda

Stock market panic 2008

Blame the Nagas for their oversight. Blame the "Federal Reserve," a private bank, and its system of debt. Blame Fed chairmans Greenspan or Bernanke. Blame the Garudas for their negligence. Or explore the meaning of the information handed down as "mythology." It serves a purpose history would not allow.

Nagas (serpents, reptilians) are semi-human "overlords" in Buddhist cosmology. They are kept in check by Garudas (aka Supannas, pterodactyls, giant eagles, semi-human birds). Their contests play out unseen by ordinary eyes. But in very real terms, there are contests with worldwide ramifications being played out on Wall Street, a natural resort built by Nagas, who rule by money more than force.

Tāvatimsa: Second Heaven




The second of the six deva-worlds, the first being the Cātummahārājika world. Tāvatimsa stands at the top of Mount Sineru (or Sudassana, sometimes identified with the sacred Himalayan Mount Kailash).

Sakka is king of both worlds, but lives in Tāvatimsa. Originally it was the abode of the Asuras (drunken demigods). But when Māgha was reborn [spontaneously after his human life where he had made much merit] as Sakka, King of the Devas, and dwelt with his companions in Tāvatimsa, he disliked the idea of sharing his realm with the Asuras.

And having made them intoxicated (with a kind of alcohol that gave rise to their name), he hurled them down to the foot of Sineru, where the Asurabhavana was later established. (This is analaogous to the Christian myth of Lucifer and other rebel angels being thrown out of heaven and their subsequent fury and willingness to attack the gates of heaven and raze it to the clouds).

The chief difference between these two worlds seems to have been that the Pāricchattaka tree grew in Tāvatimsa, and the Cittapātali tree in Asurabhavana. In order that the Asuras should not enter Tāvatimsa, Sakka had five walls built around it, and these were guarded by Nāgas, Supannas, Kumbhandas, Yakkhas, and Cātummahārājika Devas (J.i.201ff; also DhA.i.272f). The entrance to Tāvatimsa was by way of the Cittakūtadvārakotthaka, on either side of which statues of Indra (Indapatimā) kept guard (J.vi.97).

The whole kingdom was ten thousand leagues in extent (DhA.i.273) and contained more than one thousand pāsādas (J.vi.279). The chief features of Tāvatimsa were its parks -- the Phārusaka, Cittalatā, Missaka, and Nandana -- the Vejayanta-pāsāda, the Pāricchatta tree, the elephant-king Erāvana, and Sudhammā, the "Assembly Hall of Truth" (J.vi.278; MA.i.183; cp. Mtu.i.32). Mention is also made of a park called Nandā (J.i.204).

Besides the Pāricchataka (or Pārijāta) flower, which is described as a Kovilāra (A.iv.117), the divine Kakkāru flower also grew in Tāvatimsa (J.iii.87). In the Cittalatāvana grows the Āsāvatī creeper, which blossoms once every thousand years (J.iii.250f).

It is the custom of all Awakened Ones (buddhas) to spend the Rainy Season following the performance of the Yamakapātihāriya in Tāvatimsa. Gautama Buddha went there to preach the Abhidharma to his mother, born there as a devaputta ("son of god").

Where is Heaven?
Mt. Kailash possibly the mythological Mt. Sineru (wikipedia)
.
The distance of sixty-eight thousand leagues from the earth to Tāvatimsa the Buddha covered in three strides, placing his foot once on Yugandhara, and again on Mt. Sineru. The Buddha spent three months in Tāvatimsa, preaching all the time, seated on Sakka's throne, the Pandukambalasilāsana, at the foot of the Pāricchattaka tree.

Eighty crores of angels (devas) attained to a knowledge of the Truth (suggesting they became Stream-entrants). This was in the seventh year after his enlightenment (J.iv.265; DhA.iii.216f; BuA. p.3). It seems to have been the frequent custom of ascetics, possessed of psychic powers (iddhi), to spend the afternoon in Tāvatimsa (e.g., Nārada, J.vi.392; Kāladevala, J.i.54).

Moggallāna, who was the male disciple foremost in supernatural powers, paid numerous visits to Tāvatimsa, where he learned from those dwelling there stories of their past deeds that he might repeat them to people on earth for their edification (VvA. p.4). More>>
