From Limited Mind and Body to Our True (No) Self

Abstract: With the advent of technology and the new-age spiritual movements, people are questioning whether AIs and machines, or the hybridization of AI/Machines with human beings, can reach a higher potential or even the ultimate potential of enlightenment. They also ponder whether AI and Machines can come closer to or "embody" the sentient nature of us, humans. Or atleast to improve our existing human qualities with the aid of "Trans-humanism". This topic has become increasingly popular, especially considering that there are wealthy individuals willing to invest millions of dollars in implementing such ambitious ideas. Or even to revolutionize the so called universal system/order with the help of these unnatural, "machine-like" beings. Of course, the technology has the ability to significantly enhance our human thinking processes; however, I wonder if these machines can ever achieve the same level of creativity and freshness as an enlightened human mind....

Abstract: All ancient masters from the past, tread on this specific style of path called "Bodhisattva's". Their first and foremost duty was to uncover their own inner light, and then bring this light unto others, awakening and benefitting countless sentient beings. Although the bodhisattva path is not so popular, nor openly discussed/expounded in main-stream Abrahamic traditions, ancient masters from all religious faiths were essentially the bodhisattvas. Even though they had different trajectories and unique stories unfolding around them, all masters had arrived to their final realization and found their unity under the supreme creator. And they were all great meditators too. Whichever the major spiritual path we take, the evolutionary steps of our human consciousness along each path has similar and almost identical meditative states. However the divine messages that we receive through these different states are unique to that particular trajectory. In other words, the m...

Abstract: In the Abrahamic faiths, we often observe a clash between two foundational teachings: Gnosticism and Christianity/Catholicism. Gnosticism, with its emphasis on higher knowledge or "Gnosis", can be seen as controversial when compared to the other two teachings. Many Gnostic beliefs are considerably more liberal and diverge from traditional Abrahamic doctrines. This divergence can present both positive and negative implications.  However, a clear distinction exists between the central concepts of Gnosticism and those of other Abrahamic teachings. Gnosticism centers around the notion of a higher being known as the "Demiurge", whereas Christianity and Catholicism trace their roots to the forefather termed the "Supreme Creator" or "True God". Various religious narratives and mythologies have emerged surrounding these concepts; for practitioners and bodhisattvas, they represent authentic stories, milestones, and revelations along their evolut...

Abstract: The previous two articles shed light on to the nature of human consciousness. We learned that the highest state of human consciousness resembles a sort of tapestry woven by the information we accumulated all along! Thus, even the meditative signs we observe during the deep state of Samadhis are, in fact, creations of our own mind. These signs and symbols take on specific forms depending on the information we have stored in our memory and the deep layers of our human brain. The highest state of human consciousness represents sort of a termination layer from which there is nowhere else to go. What we experience at this termination layer serves as a communication from the absolute to the relative. But is that all? We also state that our outward manifestations are a reflection of our inner state. Which implies, this world can be seen as a projection of our own self/mind. This article primarily focuses on the outer world, which may appear like a simulated environment on that parti...

Abstract: We all have a fascination with supernatural beings. This intrigue often stems from our curiosity about what lies beyond our understanding as we explore the divine. At certain levels of meditation and through energy channels, we can encounter these divine figures face-to-face. One may feel inspired to uncover these mysteries based on their religious studies and background. Both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions describe divine or enlightened beings who assist the truth seekers by providing guidance and direction for their spiritual growth. This article aims to shed light on to this topic and illustrate examples of how these divine beings make themselves known to practitioners in both Eastern and Western traditions. It is surprising to see how these divine figures appear in different/unique shapes to us, depending on the relative/background information we have in our mind. But that is how the universe communicates to the meditator. A divine message from the absolute to t...
