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

Abstract: This article explores the evolution of universal consciousness through two distinct human forms across different historical periods. We know that, from time to time, the universe manifests in various human embodiments to fulfill specific tasks for the benefit of humanity.  For example, Lord Krishna's timeline dates back to around 5000 BC, followed by the appearance of Jesus Christ approximately 5000 years later. In between, we have another great master, Gautama the Buddha. Krishna's mission involved upholding justice, re-establishing the political order, and looking after the poor, the oppressed, and uprooting the corruption in the Indian subcontinent. His teachings ultimately aimed to lead people to enlightenment and divine incarnation, with his closest disciple being Arjuna.  Subsequently, a more powerful divine being, Gautama Buddha, emerged and revealed the path to Nirvana . Then even more potent divine presence, Jesus Christ, appeared. His teachings reached a va...

Abstract: In one of my earlier articles, I questioned the validity of our spiritual experiences and the energetic fields we encounter in public religious spaces. For instance, what we refer to as the Holy Spirit - the intermediary energy plane that connects our human energies with the presumed divine energy - can sometimes originate from a false divine source.  However, the true Holy Spirit, which emanates from divinely incarnated masters such as Jesus or Buddha, consists of pure energy fields. Through these fields, we can only achieve a higher state of human consciousness. Being absorbed into these genuine energy fields, aspirants can dissipate their karmic energies and gradually evolve through the "light" aspect of creation. Y et, there are certain universal areas within creation that are governed by fallen angels, and negative extraterrestrials. Although these beings dwell in darkness, they present themselves to the real world under the guise of divine, or rather a fake en...

Abstract: When we talk about "Tantra", most likely the first thing crosses our mind is "Sex". Terms Tantra and Sex have become so interrelated in our mind, despite its true meaning: To go beyond mind. Tantra means the interwoven nature of existential phenomena. In other words, the existential phenomena and the buddha nature are inseparable, intertwined with each other and therefore, our very (mundane) life is the perfect playground to exploit, practice spirituality, according to Tantra. As the saying goes, "passion" was the source of universal creation and therefore can be exploited to end it. This principle gave the rise to the practice of sexual yoga or "Karma Mudra". For an ordinary being, this is certainly a drive force to practice Tantra. Would it be same for a bodhisattva ? Let's dig into this deeper and explore the science behind it.  Note: Please do not try anything in this content at home !  Reports on sexual scandals and misconduct ...

Abstract: In many occasions we see that, Mahayanists are liberal towards other faiths, spiritual traditions and religious beliefs. This may be seen as a "weakness" by some other Buddhist traditions and extreme views. Had it not been for Mahayana philosophy, Buddhism would not have really flourished in the West. The reasons for the survival of Buddhism include its philosophical depth, creativity, compassion, wisdom and the life long dedication of old masters. Where do these qualities such as liberty, innocence and creativity come from ?  Fig. 1: HH Dalai Lama enjoying the visit at  St Stephen’s Cathedral   Many westerners who practice Buddhism, especially the Tibetan version, may try to cultivate the qualities of impartiality just because HH Dalai Lama demonstrates it. Or because their root guru or lineage masters recommend it. Is this mere a display of act to win favor of people and politicians ? Should we do the same following their footsteps ? Or is there a partic...

Abstract: In many religious traditions, scripts, we often hear about various kinds of non-physical beings. They are from both lower and higher dimensions. Beings from lower dimensions are typically labeled as dark beings who may appear before the bodhisattva as obstacles, to disturb his meditation. Many practitioners nowadays believe that these are just merely stories, mind made and mythical, but to the one who progressed through bodhisattva path, these obstacles have to be faced. In some cases, encountering, channeling them is an integral part of the practice. In fact it is a duty of the bodhisattva to clarify certain spiritual matters to these confused souls, even sharing his healing energy with them. This article brings forth the author's experiential insights on this matter.      We say that, the bodhisattva's service is both worldly and non-worldly. In non-worldly aspect, the adept has to accept things he does not like, things he did not imagine to exist. Especially ...
