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
2001 I was diagnosed with
Paranoid Schizophrenia and have been on heavy medication since then. I am
interested in spiritual development and my goal is to either become a
Buddha or a
Christ.
A mistake I made is
that with my mental illness I have been associating with spirits in my body. And with
that effect as a basis I have tried to become a being of light by seeing myself as
having a light body and being eternally young by gluing a youthful light body onto
myself. But then my subconscious has protested that it is not so.
The same
thing with seeing the world and its beings as light and eternally young and gluing
onto the world and beings light bodies that are eternally young. Then my subconscious
has protested and said that it is not so.
What I want to say is that I thought
divinely, but because of my illness I have acted in the wrong way. Of course I will
not glue divinity onto the world and its inhabitants, but I will think divine thoughts
about the world WITHOUT comparing/judging the thoughts with what I see in reality.
It is thanks to a dream in particular that I had several years ago that I
discovered the mistake I had made. In the dream I had no symptoms of communicating
with spirits in my mind and there were also no signs that I was being influenced by
spirits and my mental and physical health was wonderful.
What was the
difference? The difference in the dream compared to reality was that I never compared
it to my mental/physical ill health that I had. It was as if I had never been sick
and I had no contact with spirits.
I was free and felt great. In my waking state
it sometimes happens that I start talking to spirits, because I suffer from
Schizophrenia and then I can experience myself as mentally ill and the spirits through
our contact have a negative influence on my life. But I have now learned not to talk to
the spirits because they limit my divinity and make me feel mentally ill.
I have
realized that thoughts are like birds that fly past my eyes. Regardless of whether the
thoughts are good or bad, they do not have to build a nest in my mind.
Buddhists
usually call it "letting go" and that gives the
Buddhist freedom.
Chamtrul Rinpoche and
Eckarth Tolle and
myself are right. It is by
stopping trying to solve my spiritual and physical problems that I have the chance
to just be enlightened, without adding or creating anything to try to be
enlightened.
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."
And God
said unto Moses, I AM that I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children
of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. (Exodus 3:14)
Lao Tsu, the great
Chinese theosophist and author of the Tao Te Ching, said over twenty-five houndred
years ago, "The only way to do is to be." Therefore, I believe that the only
way to create love is to consciously be love."

Secrets of the Light (Lessons from Heaven)

From what I understand from George Adamski, man should consciously know God
through the 'emotional body' and then man should be able to give expression
from the divine. One does not need to add anything or create something that has never
existed before. One feels good by expressing I AM which is man's Buddha nature.
Enlightened to me means thinking 100% positively and at the same time not
reacting emotionally to what has been
similar thoughts. Not
judging or condemning the feelings
that are associated with the thoughts.
How then should one as a seeker view the
world and its creatures? The New Age author Baird T. Spalding wrote:
“God is
holding the ideal perfect world in mind in every detail and it is bound to come forth
as a heaven or perfect home where all His children, all His creatures, and all His
creations may dwell in peace and harmony. This is the perfect world that God saw in
the beginning and the one He is thinking into existence right now, and the time of its
manifestation lies in our acceptance of it. When we can come to the one place and know
that we are all one, one man, and know that we are all members of God’s body as much
as one member of our body is a part of the whole body, then we are in, and of, God’s
kingdom, heaven here on earth, now.
“To make this manifest, realize that there
is nothing material in heaven. All is spiritual. Realize that heaven is a perfect
state of consciousness, a perfect world here on earth now, and all we need to do is to
accept it. It is here all about us, waiting for us to open the inner eye. Through that
eye our bodies shall be made light, the light which is neither of the sun nor moon but
of the Father; and the Father is right here in the very innermost part of our being.
We must sufficiently realize that there is nothing material, that all is spiritual.
Then we must think of that wonderful God-given spiritual world which is right here now
if we can realize it.

"It is not enough for us to say that we are close to the Great Cosmic Principle, God.
We must know definitely that we are one with, in, and of, and amalgamated entirely
with, Principle; and that we can not be separated or apart from God, Principle. Thus
we work with the principle of power which is all power. It is the Law that in
Principle we live, move, and have our being. Thus, when we wish to come in contact
with God, we do not think of something away from us and difficuit to attain. All we
need know is that God is within as well as all about us and that we are completely
included in God; that we are consciously within the presence of God and are present
in God and in command with full power. Thus we need not pause, we need not ponder;
we take the path directly to God within. Here the Christ stands steadfast and
supreme and with God we endure forever.
"Thus we arouse our dead selves into
the realization of the life within and that life resurrects us from the dead; we
return to life immortal, unchanging. We are convinced of life and of our right to
live that life fully and perfectly. The Christ within stands forth and says, 'I
come that you may have complete life and live that more abundantly.' This must be
a true resurrection in our consciousness - an uplifting of our dead senses into a
higher vibration of life, truth, and love. As all nature is awakening about us,
let us arouse ourselves and see the dawn of this approaching day. Thus, we get up
and out of our grave clothes, up and out of all sense of limitation in which we have
bound our bodies. We roll the stone of materiality completely from our consciousness,
that heavy weight of thought that has separated the life within from the life
without; and which has held the life form in death and denied it life because we
have not recognized its right to life. Let us get up and out of death - that is what
the resurrection means. It is an awakening to the full realization of life here and
now - and that life omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient; nowhere absent, nowhere
powerless, nowhere unconscious; but everywhere present, everywhere powerful,
everywhere conscious, in fullness, in freedom, in gloriously radiant expressive,
expanding action. When our hearts flame to this thought and our whole being glows
with this life within, we can readily extend our hand and say 'Lazarus, come forth!
Get out of your grave, you do not belong in death! Come to life! Awake from your
delusion! Awake now and here.' Thus we are awakened to the Master consciousness
and we shall weep because of the density of thought of those that watch the
awakening. Thousands of years of this awakening have been presented to humanity,
yet many sleep. But their sleeping does not justify us in doing so. It is because
of what we do that humanity is awakened to that rightful heritage.
"As we
awaken to our rightful heritage, we shall awaken to the beauty and purity of the
age-old message that our bodies are eternally beautiful, pure and perfect. They are
always beautiful, pure, spiritual bodies, most magnificent and divine, the true
temples of God. This awakening also convinces us that our bodies have never
descended from that high. We see that it was only a human concept wherein we
thought they had descended. As soon as this thought is released, our body is
released to its true inheritance of divinity. Then the fragrance of a warm summer
evening suffuses all nature and our bodies begin to take on this effulgence. Soon
pure rays of white light appear within our bodies; they become aglow with this
light; and this soft, yet brilliant, living light invades the clear atmosphere
around us like a white-gold vapor. This light increases steadily until it covers
and permeates everything about us. Bathed in this radiance, there appears a pure
crystal white light, dazzling and scintillating with a radiance greater than that
of the purest diamond, yet it is emanating from our bodies and they stand forth
ablaze with pure light, radiant and beautiful. Here we stand together on the Holy
Mount of Transfiguration, with bodies luminous and glowing, radiant and beautiful,
immersed wholly in Divine Life. The Son of man has become the Christ of God and
the Kingdom of God is once more among mankind and more vital because others have
accepted and brought forth the Kingdom in full dominion. The light of the God
Kingdom grows stronger because of the acceptance.
"This is the true body
which Humanity has always had and which all have today. Such a body always has
existed and always will exist. It is a body so luminous that no germ of old age
or decay can find lodgement therein. It is a body so alive that it can not die.
Such a body can be crucified a thousand times and, because of such a crucifixion,
come forth more triumphant. Such a body stands forth as the Divine Master of
every situation. Such a body is eternally resurrected.

Our lives
become how we perceive the possibilities of life and then act. Therefore Jesus
said: The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single,
thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is
full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not
darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the
whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give
thee light. (Luke 11:34-36) Then touched he their eyes, saying,
According to your faith be it unto you. (Matthew 9:29) And be not
conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
(Romans 12:2)
Because life becomes what we believe in, it's important to
believe in the right things. We need to exchange faith in a materialistic world
against faith in a spiritual world there life is immortal, the soul can feel and
understand God and the body is spiritual, because it is alive by life. With that
reasoning follows that because the body, the soul and the spirit of life are
spiritual, we are theoretically immortal.
We are immortal from God's side
and we need to live away from every idea and thought that comes from God and hope
that we give so much of God to all the earth's creatures that we can change our
bodies so that we can take our body along as we travel to heaven.
Jesus
taught that a person who followed the law and the prophets was a spiritual dead
person And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer
me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their
dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. (Luke 9:59-60) Jesus
wants us to become His disciples and have spiritual life and proclaim the Kingdom
of God to our fellow human beings.
How do we become His disciples so that we
get life? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and
thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this
do, and thou shalt live. (Luke 10:27-28) Where does the love come from
toward our next? Is it by reading religious literature and follow religious dogmas?
No, then you're a spiritual dead person. And when he was demanded of the
Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The
kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo
there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you and all around you.
(Luke 17:20-21)
What is inside the human being? And the LORD God formed man
of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the
flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life. (John 6:63) Jesus teaching in the New Testament is about raising up
the doctrine of the characteristics of the spirit of life and making people believe
and act by it, so that people get a spiritual life.
There was a man of the
Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and
said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do
these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto
him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must
be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is
born of the Spirit. (John 3:1-8)
But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the
Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must
worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)
It is by wanting to
live a spiritual life. Where you identify and confess the truth of the lifespirit as
you worship the Father in spirit and truth.
"That there is an all-wise,
intelligent Spirit, that this intelligence is Divine and infinite and permeates all
things, cannot be contradicted. Because this intelligence does permeate all things it
is infinite and is the source of all. It is Divine, and its Divinity brought into
thinkable or visible form, the fact or truth of all things.
You can name this
all-wise, intelligent Spirit God or Good, or what you will, as man must have a name
for everything. Once he has named a thing, he has the power to bring it into
existence. If man names anything through true reverence, worship and praise, he can
and does become which he names.
Thus you can see that man by choice can become
God or animal. He becomes the ideal which he presents for himself to follow. With this
line of thinking, it is simple to see that man is the only-begotten Son of God, or the
only-begotten son of the animal. Thus, by choice, man can become evil or devil if his
eye behold evil; or he becomes God; if his eyes beholds God....

There are two
paths for those who wish to be enlightened. 1) To relax and not achieve anything, but
to abandon all false ideas and thoughts. It works best for me, when I sleep enough and
wake up rested. 2) That through true reverence, worship and praise of the spirit of
God one becomes divine. These two paths are contradictory. But perhaps Jesus' words
about the way to pray, seek and knock that causes one to
do the will of God?:
Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto
you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,
will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then,
being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your
Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? (Matthew 7:7-11)
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and
he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall
ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a
fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer
him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that
ask him? (Luke 11:9-13)
It is thus by desiring to see the inhabitants of
planet Earth as God sees them that one becomes enlightened and lives to do God's will,
by fulfilling the needs of one's neighbor.
Jesus Christ taught about giving as
the foundation of spiritual life: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn
not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it
shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running
over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it
shall be measured to you again. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead
the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his
master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine
own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote
that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own
eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt
thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
(Luke 6:37-42)
Our task as Jesus followers is not to condemn other religions,
because there is both good and evil within every religion, even within Christianity.
Every religious person is doing the best he can. Depending on the person's view of
the world with its possibilities. Instead, we shall point to Jesus as the author and
perfecter of faith ....(Hebrews 12:2). The spiritual unselfish life is as a water
wheel that must give off water after the water wheel to get more water before the
water wheel. Without giving and receiving, the water wheel stops and can not produce
power. This means that our spiritual development ceases.
