i like you;

free help is a boon
it's not a rule or regulation
it's assistance on this
embodied journey

sometimes it's requested,
sometimes it's not.

it's not predesigned to function
in a specific manner, as a hammer
is shaped and molded.

life is founded on exploring
possibility

i once read:
"exploration makes one wiser;
even if the only wisdom gained
is to know where not to return."

is found mostly in
the diversity of life.

it is the quality of the personae
which bequeaths firm footing
on the evolutionary stair

it is yours to have
or not
given your predilections

at some point
you will need
to have a look

at the impact
of your dollar's
participation in the middle-east

has it been used
for propagating justice;
or has it naught?..

"To you my chosen I say,
to you my believer I explain:
Fast the great fast,
not the fast from food
and drink in the world.
Fast with your eyes
from winking and gawking
and do nothing evil.
Fast with your ears
from listening at doors
which are not your own.
Fast with your mouth
from sacrilegious lies
and love not falsehoods
and gossip.
Fast with your heart
from bad intentions,
and hate, jealousy
and breach it not
with your hearts.
One who tends toward
jealousy is not called
a perfect one.
Fast with your hands
from the act of murder
and commit no theft.
Fast with your body
from the wives that are
not your own.
Fast from kneeling
to adore Satan and kneel
not before deceitful icons.
Fast with your feet from
cunning paths toward things
that are not yours.
Fast this great fast
and break it not
until you depart
from the body."

[the fire elf]

You become more relaxed,
peaceful, and happy,
even in the middle
of all the ups and downs
of your life;
You become more patient,
tolerant, forgiving, and understanding
of others; You begin to relax
your opinions and fixed ideas
about how things are "supposed to be";
You become more committed
to spiritual practice, and your wish
to benefit beings grows stronger;
You begin to experience moments
of inspiration and spiritual fulfillment
more frequently, and these
gradually become regular
way of being for you.
The ultimate aim,
however,
is total enlightenment.

bodywarmth is merely one of your advantages

theres a cold wind
which preceeds the annuls
of human thought

crisp and clear
it has not slowed
to consider your comfort

is it considered
merciless in it's path
merely because it's considerable?

a blanket of thread functions to enhance
retention of heat from your core...

if you would give the same consideration
to preserving inner peace as you would
inner heat;

the vigilance would eventually
resound, till your cup runneth over
with energy incomparably as valuable
as the heat at your center

when you express stress, if
you don't let it go,
it buries itself in you

the deepest sense of peace
does not flow
through such conductors

if you truly seek world peace
you must develop beings
capable of conducting themselves as such


While Ravana usurped Lanka to begin with,
he was nevertheless regarded
as a benevolent and effective ruler.
Lanka flourished under his rule -
it is said the poorest of houses had vessels
of gold to eat and drink
off, and hunger was unknown
in the kingdom.


Human mediumship is a voluntary,
or more often
involuntary, subjection to the lower planes
of astral substance which,
while more ethereal than ordinary matter,
yet are of a quality more gross,
more powerful,
and usually more malefic.
Entrance into these astral realms
produces a species of astral intoxication,
from the delusion of strange because
unknown and often unequilibrated
forces, deceptive astral pictures;
and the astral intoxication is increased
because of considering these experiences
as wonder-phenomena.
In other words, the conditions and experiences
sensed are as genuine, and as unreliable
and utterly useless, as are the hallucinations
of the delirious or insane.
Only an occultist of masterful will
and great purity of life can rise consciously
to the spiritual plane and,
looking down on the astral levels below,
understand, control, and remember what he sees.
In untrained mediumship the atoms and molecules
of the astrally "controlled" body which the alien astral entity uses
to mold into a form and to move with its own desire-impulses,
retain this astral psychomagnetic imprint.
With repeated trances, the medium grows continuously and progressively
less than his individual self, because of his thoughts and feelings
becoming mixed with, overlaid, or blurred by ideas and emotions
which per se are abnormal and misleading. He therefore becomes
irresponsible as a source of genuine spiritual knowledge
and prevision, and still less responsible as a guardian of sacred truths.
Because of this, untrained mediumship precludes initiation into the
Mysteries as the person's faith in his astral "control" would dominate him
instead of the rules of the sanctuary.

Medium Anything that serves as an intermediate,
especially applied by modern spiritualists
to a person who, alleged to be under the "control" of some other being,
usually invisible, becomes a transmitting medium for phenomenal
messages, feelings, or actions. These entities, mistakenly called spirits
of the dead, are no part of the spiritual nature of composite man.
On the contrary, these communications come from various entities
in the astral world which interpenetrates and surrounds the physical earth,
just as our astral model-body and aura surround the interpenetrate
our physical form, cell for cell. In our present state of evolution,
the astral or model-body acts normally only when conjoined
to the physical -- a natural provision for protection from conditions
with which we are as yet evolutionally unprepared to deal.
The medium, however, is one who is born with or develops
a peculiarly unstable and often actually dislocated state
of the elements of his inner constitution. Thereby he becomes
at times disorganized physiologically and in his nervous system,
which connects the inner man with the outer world,
and he suffers, in effect, a psychic dislocation.
Then the entranced, unconscious medium functions with magnetic
sympathy with currents and entities in the astral light,
especially with those in the kama-lokic levels which are nearest the earth.
Of these many entities, the types usually manifesting
are nature spirits or elements of various kinds;
kamic remnants, the shells or spooks of the dead;
and elementaries or the imperfect astral remains of excarnate human
beings who when alive on earth showed marked tendencies
to gross and evil living.
Being fated, because of their strongly materialistic
biases and appetites, to exist in the astral realm,
these last are a peculiarly dangerous and demoralizing influence,
especially to people of weak will or of mediumistic temperament.
Without physical body or real conscience,
the elementaries yet are living entities of the unexpended force
of their earth-passions and desires,
eager to occupy and use a living body,
meantime absorbing its vital essence if they can
make psychic contact with it.
They are psychomagnetically drawn to such
conditions as the seance room usually offers.
The delicate tingling on the medium's skin,
supposed to come from angelic fingers,
is actually an astral emanation of vitality
to form an atmosphere or aura
for the besieging control.
These feathery touches are like the aurae
which often precede convulsive epileptic attacks
where the pale, cold, unconscious body of the ousted
sufferer becomes temporarily possessed.
Each time when the passive medium
is controlled, his spiritual will is progressively
weakened, his higher mind is blurred, and he becomes
an open door for all kinds of uncanny astral influences.
It is true that psychic sensitives of clean life and honest purpose,
may first attract entities belonging to higher kama-lokic levels.
But the finest types of supposed spirit faces that they see
are generally reflections from their own mental pictures of beloved ones,
or of their own innate ideals.


Some, however, regard Ravana as having been a wise and benevolent
ruler. Another opposing argument can also state that even tyrants may
have some good qualities but their overall character is bad. The notion of
Ravana as good is a contested argument. In fact, the view of him as good
may only be a recent movement, for political reasons. Nevertheless, from
puranic sources, Ravana was a great devotee of Shiva and is supposed to
have composed the Shiva Tandava Stotra.


His actions and behaviour, as told in the Ramayana, though, show
that "piety without virtue is useless". The poem's characterisation of
Ravana serves as an example of the dangers of lust and ego.




In the Bhagavata Purana, Ravana and his brother, Kumbakarna were said
to be reincarnations of Jaya and Vijaya, gatekeepers at Vaikunta, the
abode of Vishnu and were cursed to be born in Earth for their insolence.


These gatekeepers refused entry to the Sanatha Kumara monks, who,
because of their powers and austerity appeared as young children. For
their insolence, the monks cursed them to be expelled from Vaikunta and
to be born in Earth. The all-merciful Vishnu agreed that they should be
punished but agreed to mitigate their curse. He asked them whether they
would want to be undergo seven births as devotees of Vishnu or three
births as enemies of the Lord. Since they wanted to get back as soon as
possible, they agreed to be born in three births as enemies of God.


In the first birth, Jaya and Vijaya were born as Hiranyakashipu and
Hiranyaksha. Vishnu incarnated as Varaha and Narasimha and killed them
both. In Treta Yuga they were born as Ravana and Kumbhakarna and
were killed by Rama. Then in Dwapara yuga, and in their final birth, Jaya
and Vijaya they were born as Shishupala and Dantavakra and killed by
Sri Krishna. After the end of three births, they returned to Vaikunta.

visnu's house got more youth
and the doorman was trained



the story of the ravana...
doorman of visnu;
symbolic of the senses serving atma

that the senses would defy
the child vitality of sages;
precipitating a stint as foe...

what desires would there remain to burn
beyond the inherent spurring
to refine the discernment of the senses?

regardless of the names and imagery affixed;
alludes to the morals the tale-weavers grappled,
whether through observation or invention

rather deeply intoned perceptions of struggle
both within dynamics and personae...
as a figurative civil war made visnu's house more receptive

"Dussera is about the destruction of Ravana,
or the victory of good over evil.
The story is that of Lord Ram & of Ravana
the evil King of Lanka, from the Indian epic
Ramayana... The whole spectacle
of the procession and the burning
of the 30ft effigy of Ravana
will be fascinating
and has never before been done in Glasgow"

THOUGHT STREAMS.

[the fire elf]

People from Glasgow are known
as Glaswegians. Glaswegian is also
the name of the local dialect
of Scots, which is popularly
referred to as "the Glasgow Patter".

Today Glasgow has Scotland's
largest and most economically
important commerce
and retail sector.

It is common to derive
the name Glasgow
from the older Brythonic glas cau
or a Middle Gaelic cognate,
which would have meant green hollow.

The settlement probably had
an earlier Cumbric name, Cathures;
the modern name appears for the first
time in the Gaelic period (1116),
as Glasgu. However, it is also
recorded that the King
of Strathclyde, Rhydderch Hael,
welcomed Saint Mungo
(also known as Saint Kentigern),
and procured
his consecration as bishop about 540.

For some thirteen years
Kentigern laboured in the region,
building his church
at the Molendinar Burn, and making
many converts. A large community
developed around him and became
known as Glasgu (meaning the dear family).
The confusion between the terms
is not wholly resolved
(Dear Family vs. Dear Green Place vs. Green Hollow).

his pet name of Mungo,
derived from Brythonic my-nghu
(Gaelic mo-chohe) meaning 'dear one'.

prana breath exercise...and such
breathing air in ever so gently, imagine being
able to draw in a lighter then air substance permeating
the air.

you may begin to notice a cool energizing
sensation in the nostrils...

breath in slow and gentle to a comfortable
lung capacity, then allow the weight of the
chest collapse; expelling the air naturally.

slowly increase the duration of the gradual
inbreath until both chest and belly are filled to capacity.
as you continue, make the conscious choice to
place the air in the belly at the beginning of
the inbreath, and having the chest completely
full at the end; all the while leaving the earth
to do the work of the collapsing.

before, there was a reality without names,

the trick is to observe from there

mostly when i say that it would
take about half a lifetime before
my body is mystically useful,
i'm pointing to the realization
that a life half -mystic

not to mean

DNA complicates things

DNA, the information medium,
is a vastly superior language
on this planet dominated by green...

it sets apart the monkey fling'in poo
from the human fling'in currency
with the subtlest of nuances...

even were you to decipher a translation
into the shattered fragments of ancient tongue;
might as well turn the whole of calculus

into zero's and ones

practical example:
take an image digitized into a
type of language, and convert
it.

the converted image has the theoretical
possibilities of enhanced clarity, the
same clarity, or a lesser clarity.

if the DNA is taken as metaphorical
to the file information, and the bio-form
metaphorical to the image; how much
currency could you spend to evolve the conversion
clarity-factor in sync with a changing environ?
