I say to thee weapons reach not the
Way,
flame burns it not,
waters cannot overwhelm,
nor dry winds wither it.
Impenetrable, unharmed,
untouched, immortal,
all-arriving, stable, sure, invisible, by
word
and thought ineffable, ever all
Itself,
thus is the Eternal
Soul declared !
"There is a science
of recognition, though in large part it remains esoteric. But some of the
knowledge may be uncovered by the uninitiated student if he seeks in the right
place. Among the various races, the East Indians form the chief repository of
this science, and the language employed,
the Sanskrit, involves terms
corresponding to concepts for which there are no real equivalents in our
current western languages." - Franklin Merrell Wolff
Madhva said: "Man is the
servant of the Creator,"
and established
his Dvaita philosophy.
Madhva has taken
the noumenon in its
submission aspect.
Ramanuja said:
"Man is a ray or spark of the Sustainer,"
and
established his Visishtadvaita philosophy.
Ramanuja has taken
the noumenon in its
immanent aspect.
Sankara said: "Man is identical with
Brahman,"
and established his
Kevala Advaita philosophy.
Sankara has taken
the noumenon in its
transcendental aspect.
If one
ponders objects of the senses,
there springs attraction; from
attraction grows desire, from
desire springs flames of fierce
passion, passion breeds
recklessness; then the memory,
betrayed, lets noble purpose
go and saps the mind, till
purpose, mind, and man are
all undone.
If one ponders objects of the senses, not adoring and not
abhoring, making them serve the Eternal Soul, which rests serenely, such a man
comes to tranquillity; and out of that tranquillity shall rise the end of and
the healing of his worldly pains.
Seek refuge in the Eternal Soul,
find there Heaven.
Scorn
those that claim virtue for being rewarded.
Mind walking the Thinspace casts
aside aspirations, passing beyond them.
Allow the
Eternal Soul to cast aside the
tangled oracles which blindly
guide.
This is the
Peace of Contentment!
Hindu monists follow Advaita
philsosophy which sees each
and every power or force as aspects of One Supreme Being like a single beam of
light is separated into colors by a
prism.
One of the most prominent Hindu monists is the saint Ramakrishna
whose patron god was Devi, the
Mother of all living things.
Although Hinduism is very diverse, one thing that unites all Hindus is
the quest for enlightenment,
to free oneself
from the cycle of rebirth and the concept of Ahimsa, which means
"non-violence."
Hindus believe that everything on the Earth is part of
the universal
spirit, and therefore everything
needs to be respected, preserved and protected.
Contemporary Hinduism,
specifically Smartism, consists of a holy trinity comprised of
Brahma (the Creator of worlds),
Vishnu (the Preserver of worlds) and
Shiva (the Destroyer of
worlds).
In 1966 the Supreme Court of India defined the Hindu
faith to include these ideas;
a spirit of tolerance and willingness to
understand and appreciate the other's point of view based on the
realization that truth is many
faceted and a recognition of the fact that the means or
ways to
salvation are
many.
The basic tenets of Hinduism highlight
three aspects of self-regulation with which to
groom the physical, rational and spiritual facets of your life. |
Eight specific things an individual does to

permanently truthful values
practice straightforwardness in dealing with
others
maintain cleanliness
of the surrounding environment
maintain
relationships of understanding,
tolerance and
compassion
chakra
Each chakra is an energy center that holds the Emotions
(Spirits) in the body.
The health of a chakra depends on the state of
the emotions.
When we shift the focus of our consciousness, we
transform the energy throughout the body becoming
consciousness of the
emotion held within the energy center of each chakra.
Chakra,
literally "wheels of spinning energy", has been used as a way to understand
human emotion and energy for over 4,000 years.
Within the human body
there are seven major chakra located within the body in front of the spinal
column, aligned vertically up and down the spine.
The lowest chakra, the
root chakra residing at the
base of the spine, controls issues of
the flesh's survival.
The second chakra, above the pubic bone, controls
emotion and
sexuality.
The third chakra,
solar plexius, controls identity and interpersonal relationships.
The
fourth chakra is the heart
chakra.
Three chakras below heart ... and three above.
The chakras below the heart govern earthly aspects of
being while the chakras above the heart govern spiritual aspects of
being.
Heart chakra is
exactly in the center, the Rainbow Bridge
that connects earthly aspect with the divine aspect.
The fifth
chaka, the throat chakra, controls thought forms, internal dialogues, verbal
and non verbal expression - communication in general.
The sixth chakra, the third eye chakra above and between
the eyes, controls intuition,
vision, an ability to understand situations precisely
and the ability to understand an
individual's emotional state through empathy.
The seventh chakra,
the crown chakra, controls awarenes, higher consciousness and
allows a master to plumb subconscious depths
consciously leading to complete
empathy with a accurate
understanding of the noumenon -
Christ
Consciousness.
kundalini
"Suddenly, with a roar like that of a
waterfall, I felt a stream of liquid light entering my brain through the spinal
cord.
Entirely unprepared for such a development,
I was
completely taken by surprise; but regaining my
self-control, keeping my mind on
the point of concentration.
The
illumination grew brighter and brighter, the roaring louder, I experienced a
rocking sensation and then felt myself slipping out of my body, entirely
enveloped in a halo of light.
It is impossible to describe the experience
accurately.
I felt
the point of consciousness that was myself growing wider surrounded by waves of
light.
It grew wider and wider, spreading outward while the body,
normally the immediate object of its perception, appeared to have receded into
the distance until I became entirely unconscious of it.
I was now all consciousness without any outline,
without any idea of corporeal
appendage, without any feeling or sensation coming from
the senses, immersed in a sea of light
simultaneously conscious and aware at
every point, spread out, as it were, in all directions without any barrier or
material obstruction.
I was no longer myself, or to be more accurate, no
longer as I knew myself to be, a small point of
awareness confined to a body, but instead
was a vast circle of consciousness in which the body
was but a point, bathed in light and in
a state of exultation and
happiness impossible to describe." - Gopi Krishna, Kundalini: Path to
Higher Consciousness
Kundalini gurus help initiates release "the serpent power" to balance the "root
chakra"
which resides at the base of the spine.
The release of "the serpent power" through an
awakening process involves
physical manifestations as a consequence of the "awakening of an individual's
Kundalini.''
The awakening brings up memories of
past trauma releasing a powerful
energy source lying dormant in the form of a coiled
serpent at the base of the spine.
When freed and properly channeled "the serpent power" reputedly has the
capacity to effect great physical
healing.
Initiates
undergoing a Kundalini awakening process often find it
difficult to control their behavior; during power rushes of Kundalini energy,
initiates often
emit various involuntary sounds,
and their bodies move in
strange and unexpected patterns. Among the most common physical
manifestations - unmotivated and unnatural
laughter or crying, talking in
unknown indecipherable tongues and making a variety of
animal sounds and
movements.
Western
clinical psychologists might define these strange physical manifestations
as a release of pent up tension or repressed
sexual urges.
The Saiva Siddhanta Philosophy
The central doctrine of the Saiva Siddhanta
philosophy is that Shiva is the noumenon, and that the
Jiva or
the individual soul is of
the same essence as Shiva, but not
identical.
Shiva, eternal consciousness unlimited by time, contains
the seeds of eternal bliss in gnosis.
Lord Shiva is engaged in freeing the souls from the thraldom of
matter.
Lord Shiva assumes the
form of an Avatar out of His intense compassion for mankind.
Lord Shiva,
the all-doing and the
all-knowing Lord of Compassion, graces
us as saviour and mentor.
Lord Shiva wishes that all should
know Him and attain the blissful Siva-Pada.
Lord Shiva watches the activities
of each individual soul and helps it in its onward march.
Lord Shiva liberates each individual soul
from culturally imposed fetters or bonds.
Shiva is eternal, changeless,
formless, independent, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, one without a
second, beginningless, causeless, taintless, self-existent, ever-free,
ever-pure and perfect.
The
Lord Shiva pervades the whole world by His Shakti.
He works through His
Shakti.
Shakti is the conscious energy of Lord Shiva.
Shakti is
the very body of Lord Shiva.
Shakti is the instrumental cause.
Maya is the material cause.
Lord Shiva is
the first cause of Satyam.
Satyam undergoes evolution for the
benefit of Pasu (Souls).
The whole process
of Creation is for the sake of the Salvation of Pasu.
Satyam is
real and eternal.
Reality of matter and souls forms
the body of the Lord.
Pasu are by nature infinite,
all-pervading, eternal and all-knowing like Lord Shiva (Pati).
Yet they
think that they are finite, limited and little-knowing, ignorant and temporary.
The soul learns, by long experience, that this Samsara is full of pains
and is transitory, and that he can attain eternal bliss and
immortality only by attaining Sivatva
or the nature of Siva or God-realisation.
The soul develops Vairagya
(dispassion), and Viveka (discrimination between the real and the unreal, the
permanent and the impermanent).
The attainment of Shivatva or
Shiva-nature does not mean complete merging of the soul with Shiva.
The
liberated soul does not
lose its individuality.
The liberated soul continues
to exist as a soul within the Creator and Sustainer.
Shivatva is
the realisation of an identity of essence in spite of difference.
The
liberated soul attains the
nature of Shiva or the
Creator and Sustainer,
but it is not itself Shiva or the
Creator and
Sustainer.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new
perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of Life - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the
knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has
enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are
spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against
individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate
crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the
intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system,
corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered
behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the
point of a gun.
American social mores and values have declined
precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has
garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the
populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which
have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media
psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family
and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and
coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
