As A Joke, I Wrote My Own Religion
« on: July 27, 2016, 04:12:37 AM »
I made up a religion as a joke, to stimulate thought. Since the ones we have are so unsavory.
It's basically my analysis of reality. And a work in progress. 9 pages.
Thoughts welcome!

Quantum physics has shown us that we effect the reality around us. Reality is what you make it. Try and imagine this one I propose.

And tell me how yours differs.

The bit under "Thoughts & Meditation" is an excerpt from Tantra by Osho.

To me, at least, it is important to see as much as I can of the world's accumulated knowledge. When we enter into the realm of spiritual knowledge, five minutes worth of research can show you that what is known and accepted as spiritual knowledge today is vastly different from what has been accepted as spiritual truth in the past.

In the past, it was accepted that there are certain people who have transcended all boundaries and limitations of mortal reality. Great traditions formed around what these people had to teach. In China these were the Immortals. In India they were the rishis, yogis and maha-siddhas (great perfected ones). These people were considered to have expressed siddhis (perfections, i.e. powers), and were often considered to be immortal and able to travel to the Source and to other dimensions.

Many people entered into what was considered to be this path to "liberation" from mortal existence, studying under teachers ranging from wild ascetics to chaste monks. But few ever made progress, as it was often considered to be extremely difficult and requiring complete renunciation from mortal existence. And until the Mahasiddhas revolutionized tantra in the late first millennium CE, it was considered to take multiple lifetimes to reach this level of "enlightenment."

But some did make it, and became very famous for their abilities, which ranged from levitation, to clairvoyance and teleportation, to raising the dead.

When these knowledge bases are studied seriously, one sees that it is not  the common denominators.

It's important to understand that the majority of our opinion on this subject is shaped and dominated by Buddhism, which was formed sometime between 800 and 400 BCE. The prevailing opinion before Buddhism was that of Samkhya, which had evolved after the Vedic rishis faded into obscurity. So the Buddha grew up in and learned from a Samkhya mindset.

In Samkhya there are two levels of powers. The first is that of samadhi with nonbreathing. Nonbreathing (kumbhaka) has always been the main technique of the traditions of India. Whether it began in the Vedas or in Samkhya, at some point they noticed that when the breath stops, certain powers arose. The first thing to happen was that their body started levitating without control. This happened relatively quickly.

In all honesty they probably discovered this long after the use of soma. So it's not like they were experimenting with stopping their breath. It's likely that the use of soma led to the discovery of this system of techniques.

But as the lifeforce stopped dissipating, their age froze and the elements of their body became stable. They gained the "bucharisiddhi" power, the strength to kill anything with a single blow. But most importantly the elements of their body started to conduct psychic information from the environment. The earth element, which has specific power-centers in the body described by different traditions (not chakras, but similar), started to conduct psychic information of the sense of smell. The water element would conduct taste, fire would conduct sight, air would conduct touch, and ether would conduct sound.

Though the locations of the elements varied between the traditions, the method of working with them was always the same, and the results were said to be the same. The first and most important aspect was the reaching of samadhi.

And before I lose my place I want to state this now for the record: this method of reaching samadhi (by the combining of the element-sensations) preceded the rise of Buddhist concentration meditation, which has ever since dominated the world of meditation.

The text Dattatreya Yogashastra explains that, after becoming able to stop the breath for at least three or more hours, that when the yogi "completely withdraws his sense organs from their objects, that is called sense-withdrawal (pratyāhāra). Whatever he sees with his eyes he should cause to exist in his self. Whatever he smells with his nostrils he should cause to exist in his self. Whatever he tastes with his toungue he should cause to exist in his self. Whatever he touches with his skin he should cause to exist in his self. The yogin should carefully and tirelessly draw together his organs of knowledge in this way for three hours every day." When he does, the hypercosmic Light-mind (Brahman, samadhi) will appear.

Samadhi is the most important and underrated aspect of the ancient knowledge. If new agers were to discover this concept alone, it would radically transform their understanding of the universe.

Samadhi has always been the core of all the ancient religions. It is direct god-contact, the immersion of the mind in the hypercosmic light-mind that extends infinitely, emerging out of nonexistence. The method has always been the same for the majority of history, though other less reliable methods (some of which may still be preferable) have also existed. The method was egoless concentration on a single form or lack of form for 4 consecutive hours without falter. I know of several accounts on the internet of people who have personally reached samadhi, either once or many times. I personally knew someone who had reached samadhi himself once, and he described it just like all of the ancient Buddhists did. A point of light appeared in his deep meditation, which circumscribed into a circle and opened a door into the Light-mind. He felt the simultaneous duality of fear and love, which he had to reject both in order to continue into the Light-mind. Once inside he felt what he could only describe with twilight language (the ancient poetry of siddhas designed to convey higher understanding):

"In a translucent world my eyes do see clearly
the nature of myriad things
coming, going, passing like only a dream
knowledge and virtue carry us across the stream
close your eyes
steady the breath
clear the mind
know the silent oneness.

Some say one
others say none
but to my disciple I say
"Let go of both my son"
for all conjecture is vanity of mind
and all vanity is a smear on the cosmic mirror.

if you wish to know the mother, you must first know her son
who is born, dies, and is born again
constantly seeking the mother he never saw."

Samadhi is the true third eye. There never was anything in the ancirnt yogas truly meant as a third eye. There was only the second sight granted by the samadhic rebirth into the spiritual world.

If you really try to get to the bottom of the chakra system, it won't be long before you realize our modern interpretation is all fucked up. The ajna chakra was never supposed to be the source of cosmic knowledge itself. It is only a control stimulator that opens all chakras on its own, and fully eliminates the nature of ego. Ajna stimulation could lead to samadhi, but not by anything else other than stimulating the crown chakras.

Getting into the crown chakra is where you fully realize how mixed up our understanding is. There technically is no crown chakra. But that's too intricate of a discussion for this post.

Samadhi brings the powers of clairvoyance/audience/sentience/etc., the ability to control the breathing to the point of stopping it, and the ability to energize the sexual energy. That will be discussed later.

Samadhi with nonbreathing brings the powers of prolonging or stopping aging (depending on how much one spends their energy), clairvoyance, invisibility, teleportation, changing metals into gold, the ability to gift samadhi to another, the ability to split the body into many copies and change one's sex at will (these are found in Mahayana buddhism as well, mentioned in several texts). If one wanted to categorize these energy manifestations scientifically, one could look to Neidan Daoism, which conveniently classifies these powers as "Xing" abilities, meaning of the cosmic nature of the heart. Xing refers to the substance that enters the body when the breath stops during samadhi. This is what brings the powers of the 4th jhana in Buddhism that the Buddha hated so much. This level actually brings most of the powers that one could want; it's pretty understated how much it actually brings.

These are the powers that Buddhism had access to. But Samkhya, the method that preceded Buddhism, had access to further dimensions of reality.

Their method was similar to the alchemical method that unifies all true immortals. They would, after creating a stable field of nonbreathing samadhi, immerse the element-centers of their body in this non-breathing light, in order to transform them into the primordial element. All alchemical methods deal with this unification of the Light and the elements, to create the divine force.

To raise the dead, or to make oneself immortal (age reversion), one had to generate this primordial force that is called by similar names in all of the traditions. "Vajra," the indestructible golden thunderbolt, in India and Tibet. "Yang shen," the indestructible original spirit, the crystalline lightning of the golden flower, in China. Neidan Daoism refers to this as "the fusion of Xing and Ming," with Xing referring to the cosmic light-nature, and Ming referring to the purified reproductive seed-essence. This is where tantra comes in, and is the historically true purpose behind sublimating one's sexual energy. This is where one obtains true unified control into reality.

This subject is endless, and can be categorized in infinitely different ways. All of which is good and necessary, and I'd love to get into that
But it takes time to put into the right words, and it can only be understood by the higher cognition, obtained through various means.

Vedic soma, Samkhya element purification, Vajrayana's Clearlight yoga, Nath kundalini yoga, Shaivite shivambu, Neidan's elixir seed, Rasayana and Waidan's external elixir (the philosopher's stone), and several other methods are left for us to study, and to put together into a unified theory of higher energetic reality. This is, essentially, hypercosmic particle physics as a default level of evolutionary biology.

 There is enough here to accomplish the transformation in less than one lifetime, and to change things for the better in a suffering world.

This post is nowhere near done; I will be editing and compiling this in the future.
