Relax. You already have everything that you need. Your nature is already whole.
Your nature is already pure.
There is nothing to obtain. You just have to give
up and let go what is covering it.
~ Chamtrul Rinpoche
To attain the enlightened state of a buddha does not mean that we have to add
something or create something that has never existed before. We also do not have to
do something once it is attained. The moment that we remove all of the obscurations
that cover our primordial nature, all of the enlightened qualities of a buddha just
naturally, spontaneously and effortlessly arise.
~ Chamtrul Rinpoche
George Adamski was
told by his space friends that: Man is a divine spirit who currently lives in a
body. His life's task is to know his true self, which is equal to the
'feeling body'. "You must try to make the people on earth understand that
self-knowledge is the first step in their development. And the first questions are:
Who am I? Along what paths can I develop in order to return to the unity I once left?
Point out to them that man has nothing to add. He only needs to express what he
already is. But he must learn to understand what he is and give expression to this in
his life. For it is life, the application, that is important."
Chamtrul Rinpoche and George Adamski point out that we do not need to add anything or
create any new feeling in the emotional body by visualizing our divinity.
About 2600 years ago in India, soon after Siddhartha Gautama’s enlightenment,
who was now a buddha, a man passed him on the road, and was stunned by his incredible
energetic radiance.
Utterly humbled and in awe of his presence, the man asked,
"Are you a god?"
"No", said the Buddha.
"Are you a magician?"
"No", said the Buddha.
"Are you a human?"
"No", said the Buddha.
"Then what are you?"
The Buddha replied, "I am awake".
And this
is the historical conversation where the term buddha originates from. That conversation
between the Buddha and the passing man was spoken in Sanskrit. And the Sanskrit word
for "awakened one", is Buddha. So his answer to that man became his historical
title that he has always been known by.
"Meditation brings wisdom;
lack of meditation leaves ignorance." - Buddha
I have started meditating,
not by sitting in a meditation posture, as I have a muscle condition. Instead, I lie
down with the ceiling light on. If the room is dark, one might fall asleep. I relax
my body and then let my thoughts come and go without judging them. I may experience
darkness, but fundamentally I am light, and it is by experiencing light that I
understand my true identity. I now understand what Jesus said:
Your eye
is the lamp of the body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light;
but when it is unhealthy, your body is in darkness. Therefore, see to it that the
light within you is not darkness. If your whole body is full of light, with no part
in darkness, then it will be wholly illuminated, just as when the light of a lamp
shines upon you with its bright glow. (Luke 11:34-36)
Jesus spoke
to them again, saying: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me shall not
walk in darkness but have the light of life." (John 8:12)
It is by
becoming light through meditation that one attains liberation from darkness, not by
pasting a figure of light onto oneself through faith.
We have all the
good qualities inside of us, but we don't recognise them. The traditional example is
that of a beggar who has a treasure buried in his hut under the ground, but he doesn't
know it, so every day he goes out and he begs and he gets a few coins and thinks
himself doing well. Meanwhile, he's been a multimillionaire all this time, but he's
not looking in the right place. He doesn't know that he has to dig down and then that
treasure will be revealed to him.
We are like that. We all think that we're
deprived, that we're not good people, that we have all these problems, that we have
very low self-esteem and always criticising ourselves, and our internal dialogue is
often putting ourselves down rather than embellishing our potential and recognising
that we do have this inner potential of genuine basic goodness, our Buddha-nature.
Which all beings have. It's not just, "I have Buddha-nature and everyone else is just
a sentient being". All sentient beings have Buddha-nature. In the Vajrayana, this is
what is refered to as the pride of the deity. That we see oneself as the deity and
recognise that this is our true nature. -

But not Maitreya
It is a mistake to believe that Jesusism is the worship of a creator
god sitting on a throne in a place called heaven. According to Jesus and Paul, the
creator god exists within the human being, and true heaven is a higher state of
consciousness.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the
Father is in me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own authority. The
Father dwells in me, and the deeds are his works. Believe me: I am in the Father and
the Father is in me. And if you cannot, then believe because of the works themselves.
I tell you the truth: Whoever believes in me will do the works that I do. And greater
works than these he shall do, because I go to the Father. (John 14:10-12)
This means that it is the Father within the human being who shall do greater
works than those Jesus did.
Jesus said to her: "Do not hold on to me,
for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I
am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." (John 20:17)
Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in
you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)
When Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the
Kingdom of God would come, he answered:" The Kingdom of God does not come in a way
that can be seen with the eyes. No one shall be able to say: Look, here it is, or: There
it is. No, the Kingdom of God is within you and in your midst." (Luke 17:20-21)
For in him we live and move and have our being, just as some of your own
poets have said: We are of his lineage. (Acts 17:28)
All miracles performed
since the very beginning of humanity bear witness to the fact that there is a Creator
God who intervenes in creation.
Jesus looked at them and said: "For humans
it is impossible, but not for God. For with God all things are possible."
(Mark 10:27)
According to Jesus, one becomes enlightened and John, when through
love one receives God's good ideas and God's good thoughts, which result in speaking
God's good words and performing God's good deeds.
Jesus answered: "The
most important is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one (not three).
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all
your mind, and with all your strength. Then comes this: You shall love your neighbor
as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these." (Mark 12:29-31)
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and everyone who
loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love has not come to know God,
for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)
And we have come to know the love that
God has for us and believe in it. God is love. Whoever abides in love abides in God,
and God abides in him. (1 John 4:16)
Belonging to Jesusism does not mean
confessing Jesus as Savior for eternal life in heaven and then being content with
that, while trying to win as many people as possible for heaven. According to
classical Christianity, people are lost to eternal hell if they do not accept Jesus
as Savior in this life.
Jesusism means being a FOLLOWER of Jesus and
having love for creation, and therefore wanting to solve problems. First and foremost,
by praying for people who are physically and mentally ill. Jesus said that a life of
giving is an easier life than one of selfishness.
In everything I have shown
you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words that
the Lord Jesus himself said: It is more blessed to give than to receive."
(Acts 20:35)
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn,
and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be
given to you. A good measure, packed down, shaken together, and running over, will be
poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
(Luke 6:37-38)
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart....and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my
burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
LEARN FROM ME, says Jesus, and
that means LEARNING FROM Jesus' life as described in the four Gospels, in a gentle
and humble way. What does one gain as a FOLLOWER of Jesus?
....Those
who have done good will rise to life, and those who have done evil will rise to
judgment. (John 5:29)
Buddhists walk the golden mean, free from excess
and asceticism, and Jesus was familiar with that path when he said:
Enter through the narrow gate. The gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to
destruction, and many enter through it. But the gate is narrow and the road is small
that leads to life, and few find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
~ Hermes Atar Trismegistus, a grain of Christ. But not
Jesus.
