YOU WANT SECURITY

You want consistency
You want security
You want to maintain
The illusion
Of being in control.

It's hard to manage
When things keep changing.
You have to be
Constantly on guard.

But change is inescapable,
It's a symptom of time,
It's built into the system.

Ask your physicist

Without change
The Universe collapses.

Ram Tzu has a question for you -

Why do you keep on
Spitting into the wind?

~ Ram Tzu

No Way for the Spiritually "Advanced"

INTELLIGENT ENERGY
by Leonard Orr, Father of Rebirthing-Conscious Energy Breathing
from The Conscious Connection, Newsletter of Rebirth International, Spring of 2006

Energy becomes what it thinks about. This is the most basic truth about Life. If you really understand these words, you are spiritually enlightened. Energy becomes what it thinks about.

Energy is the Source of all things. Energy is Infinite Being, the Eternal Spirit; Spirit is substance. Energy is God. But Energy is evenly distributed throughout space and time. It just exists and doesn’t do anything. Energy just is!

However, thinking is a quality of Energy and moves Energy. When Energy becomes impregnated by thought, Energy organizes Itself into the form directed by the thought--which may be a physical thing. Energy naturally becomes what it thinks about. Energy directed by thought can materialize into physical things, social realities or personal feelings and spiritual abilities.

There is only one Energy in the Universe, but there can be any number of thinking centers of this Energy. All thinkers share the same Energy. We are all activity centers in the same Energy. We are thinking centers in the same One Being.

We create our own reality, we share the reality which others create, and we become aware of the reality which the Ultimate Thinking Center of Energy has created. We usually call it Nature or God.

We are the director of this Energy and so is everyone else, but there is a greater original Creator who has created a very big Universe for us to play in. We each create our own reality within this big game and we try to successfully interact with the Big Creator and other people’s creations, but we also have given to us by our family tradition and conditioning from our parents, a whole package of created things.

To the extent that we are recreating our parent’s reality, we have to learn to choose it or un-create it in order to be free. We begin absorbing our parent’s feelings, thoughts and manifested realities when we are in the womb. By the time we become enlightened and accept our creative power, we have a whole repertoire of feelings, beliefs, habits and realities to work with. We can stay stuck with them or we can change them.

To heal the emotional mind we received from our family is called Spiritual Liberation. This seems to take a lifetime for people to successfully do, but we cannot succeed at all if we do not start the process of self healing. And our chances of success are determined by the quality of principles and practices which we use.

THOUGHT-- We begin by passing judgment upon each thought as it flows through our consciousness. Selecting mantra and working with it constantly is perhaps the most efficient way to upgrade the quality of our thoughts and feelings. A good mantra should focus our energy on the realization of our natural divinity. It will liberate us from negative thoughts, feelings and realities. It will enable us to create what we like and consciously choose. It will make it easier to master our life. We can also upgrade the quality of our thoughts by studying the great scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, the Devi Bhagavatam and especially the Shiva Purana which is the most complete picture of human divine potential as well as inspiration and practices to achieve it.

WATER--Bathing twice per day cleans the energy body which is our mind in action. Daily bathing is an infinitely valuable, spiritually powerful practice. We cannot survive in this world with all kinds of “energies” flying around us everyday without the spiritual purification practice of daily bathing. Without bathing, we become more polluted and our body becomes stiffer until we can no longer function in this world and we die to get out of the world. Water purification keeps us alive. It makes Life more pleasurable and gives us greater power and mastery. Drinking good water is also water purification.

EARTH--Diet is also important. The lighter food we eat, the more Life energy we have. The human body and energy system was not designed to process meat according to the oldest Scriptures-The Shiva Purana--as well as modern science. The popular practice of eating meat kills more people than alcohol, cigarettes and drugs combined. Having a personal exercise system is also important. And having a career that we love to win the money game is also a part of earth mastery. Receiving body massages and listening to good music are also earth disciplines.

AIR-- We have to learn the ability to breathe energy as well as air. Intuitive breathing, often called Rebirthing, is one of the most important skills of Spiritual Liberation.

FIRE--fire purification is also very important. Water, Earth, Air and Fire are the eternal qualities of this Infinite Energy. Learning the spiritual power of fire and using it on a daily basis is a healing practice that is essential to human health and aliveness. Fire purification keeps us alive. Fire can clean our energy body and help us maintain our physical body in health and joy. Fire can burn pain, tension and dis-ease out of the body. Exposure to an open flame is as important to human health as good food, exercise, energy breathing, daily bathing and wholesome thoughts. Fire is magical and powerful. Fire is a physical quality of God that can clean us and heal us spiritually and physically.

LOVE--Love is also essential. Love is the subjective experience of Infinite Energy. To the extent that we feel love, we are tuned into our Divine Energy.

Intelligent energy creates with Mind, Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Love. The basic idea of spiritual purification is to clean and balance our Energy Body often enough to keep it in joy and good working order so we can enjoy Life--so that we can embody and express this Infinite Energy in the world.

Energy becomes what it thinks about. To the extent that we do daily spiritual practices with mind, water, earth, air, fire and love, we move steadily on the path of spiritual liberation, personal freedom, power and aliveness. To the extent that we neglect these fundamental qualities of our divine nature, we increase our emotional mud and lose health and aliveness, our peace and joy of living. Without spiritual purification practices, our life urge becomes weaker, more dense, filled with darkness, and living becomes more difficult. Our body gets stiffer and stiffer.

Religions that are not focused upon spiritual purification practices produce dead people. Without spiritual purification, people become sick and stiff like zombies. These dead zombies spread emotional energy pollution sickness and death to everyone they come into contact with.

Understanding these ideas is Basic to Living as Intelligent Energy.

Energy is love and bliss and power. This Intelligent Energy has thought itself into Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. The Life of the Universe as well as the Human Body is the intelligent and loving interplay between Earth, Air, Water and Fire.

>From the standpoint of human existence, Earth, Water, Air and Fire are the eternal qualities of God. Earth, air, water and fire have to exist before you can have a Human Body as we know it. Therefore, Earth, Water, Air and Fire precede Human Beings.

To have a conscious relationship to Earth, Water, Air and Fire through simple daily spiritual practices is BASIC to realizing our potential as Intelligent Energy.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTACK
Thought for the Week:
(Encore from June 2004)

If you have a mind like mine, you may notice that no matter how perfect things may appear, there is always something to attack. I've already told you that from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to bed, I find a bazillion things to wrank on. For me, the attack may start with my lack of desire to exercise or with my rush to have a cup of coffee. I try to do my spiritual studies in the morning and while I'm reading I can hear my mind attacking me for not 'being there yet'. In the shower, it could be a myriad of things from the attack of why I ever bought this stupid soap to the fact that my beard looks crooked.

When I'm tired of attacking myself, I go to my store and notice every book out of place or if all else fails, I can always attack the weather, too hot, too cold, too dry or just too nice to be indoors. I could elaborate about my errands and the complaints I have about the car, the road construction and most of you know how I feel about lousy service (something that I have simply come to expect though that doesn't stop the inner complaining). I think you are getting the point which is NOT that I am a complainer (though I may well be) it's that we are ALL prey to negative thinking. What do we do with them?

See your attack thoughts as simply distractions. They are the fodder that we use to turn our attention away from peace, our natural state. I'll spare you my psychological take on why we have them and jump you right into what you can do.

First: Simply notice them. Notice your attack thoughts. Any of them. When you catch yourself ready to throw one, whether it's at you or someone else or at a bill or news item, take a second and ask yourself if these thoughts will bring you any closer to peace.

Secondly: Accept. You have been thinking this way for years. Attacking yourself for having attacking thoughts kinda defeats the purpose, don't you think? Imagine that you have a volume control that you can use. The worse effect of these thoughts is that they keep you from Peace, in themselves they don't define who you are in any way.

Thirdly: Choose another way to see the situation you are attacking. You may have legitimate reasons to be upset but try remembering that there is probably another way of looking at the situation and if you just can't do that, ask for help.

Fourth: Imagine that in all the universe, the only Divine wish was for you to be at peace. Now imagine that every force in the universe was ordered to help you find it (makes being mad at your lack of good soap kinda laughable). Try holding your negative thoughts in a beam of light and look at them until you can actually chuckle.

Fifth: You deserve Peace. If nothing else moves you, repeat this until you can feel it.

In Peace (sometimes) but always:
With you on the Quest!

A THOUSAND NAMES

I see people who talk about religion constantly quarreling with one another. Hindus, Mussulmans [Muslims], Brahmas, Shaktas, Vaishnavas, Shaivas all quarrel with one another. They haven't the intelligence to understand that He who is called Krishna is also Shiva and the Primal Shakti, and that it is He, again, who is called Jesus and Allah. "There is only one Rama and He has a thousand names."
-Ramakrishna

BABAJI
song written by Supertramp

All of my life I felt that you were listening
Watching for ways to help me stay in tune.
Lord of my dreams, although confusion
Keeps trying to deceive,
What is it that makes me believe in you?

Babaji, oh won’t you come to me?
Won’t you help me face the music?
Bring it out so we can sing it out.
Help me to find it before we lose it.
At night when the stars are near
And there's no one to keep you from coming here,
And there's no one to shield me before your eyes,
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?

I can see it’s not too good to me
To be afloat in the sea of glory.
Babaji, oh how you comfort me,
By showing me it’s a different story.
Your light in the dark is real
And I know that you know it is how I feel.
When I see the reflections that’s in your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?

Babaji, have you a song for me
To tell the world of its guardian angel?
Bring it out so we can sing it out.
Oh must you always remain a stranger?
At night when the stars are near
And I long for delusion to disappear
Then I see the reflection that's in your eyes.
Is it time, is it time, is it time to know?

HONEY AND CINNAMON

It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban" (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, on its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

Heart Diseases: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

Arthritis: Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

Bladder Infections: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

Toothache: Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied three times a day until the tooth stops aching.

Cholesterol: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

Colds: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

Upset Stomach: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

Gas: According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

Immune System: Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria and viral diseases.

Indigestion: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

Influenza: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ingredient which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

Longevity: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increases and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20- year-old.

Pimples: Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

Skin Infections: Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

Weight Loss: Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

Cancer: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.

Fatigue: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of t he body within a week.

Bad Breath: People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

Hearing Loss: Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restore hearing.
