Spotless

Post Awakening Qi Gong has been an excellent non-doing doing-in of "remnants". Patience and Grace as well. It is extraordinary to find the ball and chain of willfulness nearly gone - in the vast peace and patience - riding out what appears and happens and attending to facing subtle and not so subtle constrictions and well worn paths is beautiful and IN Grace - but it is also a constant fresh abidance very much embodied in changes taking place. You don't need to look in the mirror - you see and feel it in everything - a chaos that is OK - It would be interesting if you could elaborate more on: "activated karma"

Even if ones Awakening is like Krakatoa and it seems nothing is left - there are remains. The "work" - the "practice" is entirely different - but a great deal is still in the works. The subtle bodies require effort - even in no-effort. Faint remains - are often not so faint. Measuring ones head cannot be a discarded habit. Thankfully - hopefully - patience and grace and prior practice endure and carry through. It is said it takes 10 years before one should teach - this seems good guidance - and it is not a long time - particularly in no time/no space.

In the case of grace - turning in the "right" direction may be willfulness - in the metaphor it can be many things but it appears the main appeal is to an openness to grace - and an openness to grace is an openness to abandoning willfulness and the identified self - dropping the white knuckles and giving the tiller way to the winds and the currents and the flow. It takes tremendous effort to relax the grasp - to abandon habituations - to not feed the flames - to Be in silence without filler and fight and the trance that greys the awareness. This is no rebuke - this is simply subtle stuff - lots of way to see "raising a sail" - lots of ways to drop ones sails in the rigidity of beliefs or in the abuse of the gross physical body - the sails may be ones eyelids - opening them where they were closed.

It is interesting to look at the concept of "raising ones sail" One might be a doing - another may simply be unfurling openness - in a sense getting out of the way. One may have a raised sail and is fighting upwind - simply giving "3 sheets to the wind" may be a non-effort raising of the sail - going with the wind.

They could be framed as 3 layers - The more general level includes quite a variety of states in which stillness might be the most pervading aspect - bliss - gratitude - devotion to name a few. It is necessary to explain Stillness - it has nothing to do with a dead space or a vacuum. It is not not-being. It is simply non-inertia: grasping is ceased and the currents of position and willfulness has fallen away - subsided. It is far more vital and alive both in the lack of fear and restriction and forcible throttling. The assumptions about Bliss and Devotion and Gratitude would be to much for just this thread but they are of a different nature than otherwise when Awake and in this reference. As a further indication - being IN Grace - in its embrace Being aware as “it” is touching every aspect of “your life” - often a floating very grounded embodiment of light and lightness - often accompanied by constant sycronicity and high intuition and mundane intuition and clarity as well as oneness. In another state or layer the Stillness is pervading and the primary aspect is Pure Presence. Mind has subsided. One can be enmeshed in the Light - thick in the light - utter grounding and embodiment - may be accompanied by vast energy - unimaginable energy far beyond even the most massive kundalini awakenings. No thought - Presence - breath of all and everything - glinting beautiful shimmering sounds. In another state - non-object Awareness. The deep mantra of the logos - the gong of all and everything. Supreme clarity - utter silence in a pervading immensity. No time - No space - All Creativity In no inertia.

It is also politically correct and in many long standing ways to assume Emotion as unstable, questionable and fickle. And it has been held over women like a club and determined the masculinity of men. God is never referred to as High Emotional Essence - humanity always refrains to Intelligence. Love is used - but not in any reference to emotion but more of endearing commitment and compassion and patience - (Emotion in the highest sense of those words). Unattached - Un-aimed - Spontaneous for an Eternity. Limitless Goodwill - Grace

We talk about Creative Intelligence and Intelligent Design But we cannot come to approach Emotive Design Or the idea that Emotion in its highest levels my be far beyond Mind or at least any resemblance to such a claustrophobic word. In the rush to clarity and a rebuke to the female it has been cut out of our nature to allow the incredible heights of Compassion and ever enduring Patience and Love to be wed within the pervading essence of Divine Awareness AS Emotion. Yet - In Abiding Awareness - Non-Object Awareness - No Self - and Awareness near to this and on High Intellect and Mind are not words that surface - they have no fingers in this. But Emotion Ungrasped Awareness - Pure Golden Light seems so clear and without reason - Unborn - Innocent and All Encompassing.

It is a good gesture to name it and add links but it could get flagged. Companies have bots that search for their music - some are pretty tight and some do nothing. In general if they are looking and find something your site or viewability goes down and you get flagged until it is fixed. If it’s a relative unknown then a link and naming may be fine and they may be happy you are getting them out there. Generally they don’t call you up and personally get pissed or shake your hand - you get flagged and shut down or you don’t.

Unless you are working with a publisher and they take over the reins it will take a few things to get it up and running but once done it will be a piece of cake. EJunkie currently upgrades your beginning account to 9.95 a month with 200 Gb of storage and no fees - unlimited products. When someone clicks through you pay only the transaction fees that Paypal or others charge. If you’re something sold through Amazon then the fees are much higher there But obviously the audience is big. THe customers through EJunkie automatically get sent a thank you follow up and you are notified as well. You can send dvds to amazon and they will ship them and do everything if you qualify but the price / cost ratio is pretty tough in low cost items - they charge quite a bit. I have several products I manufacture stored and shipped by amazon - love it - but not cheap. They handle everything - and money is automatically dumped every 7 days unless I do it manually. Costs are upwards of 45% on cheap items and even more but much better on more expensive items. This download thing is way easier than you think - just don’t forget to use copywrite free music and pictures - it will get red flagged in a second if thats not right. If it does not work out the overall costs are not high. What cost money are good wireless invisible head mics and other vid production. Im doing all of that myself and it is slow - I’m not wealthy.

I’m trying E-Junkie (inexpensive and I’m new at this as well - so far its good) Keep us updated on your progress with Amazon. If I go in that direction anytime soon I’ll let you know what I come up with. The format issues are unclear to me at this point. But there are some excellent converters out there.

Rites of some sort help to slow down and make real in the gross physical our wanted - intended - exercise of connection to the subtle energies and more hidden fine high levels of being. Rites also signify an awareness that the two are not exclusive - that Light is All and Everything - including dirt and incense and sweat - it’s in a sense being in non-denial of one’s humanity. Like saying a prayer of thanks for one’s food prior to eating. The consideration that the higher is providing the lower - and additionally that there is no higher or lower - neither is more real than the other - but an affirmation that just because it is not “in your face” does not mean it does not exist. It is an affirmation that some “otherness” that is not apart from us is clearly and unmistakably the essence of the Light - and we are speaking to it and in it as it.

Yes - a watermark is a constant and it can also be done as nearly transparent so that it can be across the entire bottom third of a video if desired. Sometimes if you put it into a corner area small enough people will edit it out and republish. But - this is not really an enormous problem - most watermarks will easily do the trick and yes you can do it in iMovie. Regarding the wealthy having DVD’s Actually the most up to date tech people my have dropped DVD’s and DVD players entirely. (I had to go out and buy an external DVD player) Not one young new student wants a DVD - but every one of them wants either a downloadable video or a thumb drive. You can certainly ship Amazon your CD’s and many people may purchase them but you might be surprised - your interested parties demographics may not be older lower tech people. All of the older students in my classes have expensive phones and downloading is how they work - they want the vids on their phones and don’t really do the - put the disc in your computer and then plug in your phone and sit there while it transfers thing - I know I don’t - and have not for many years now. I remember once creating an app for iPhones-only and a friend thought I was nuts because so many more people owned other platforms - then I mentioned that 90% of my demographics were iphone users. Not trying to beat a dead horse here but go the extra 3 feet and figure out how to offer downloading 😎 Once you get it figured out it will be all done by finger touch or voice command and no shipping and product that is tangible. Also - and this is a huge plus - you can edit all content offered at any time! Hard shipped copies do not offer that option. Also - scratched copies, copies with screwed up labels, returns - these are all negated to extinction with downloadables. I’m about to turn on my primary computer after putting down this iphone - it’s an Apple Air - they don’t have DVD players. Our household does not have a desktop - though I do have several large design screens I can plug into as well as drawing tablet accessories. My son’s PS4 has a DVD player - forgot about that - 😎 Anyway - just some thoughts! Added: A whole bunch of students want vids for vacations and when they are traveling. Few take CD’s or Cassette’s or 8 tracks but they do some times take: 128Gb iphone storage device. My phone has 128 Gb storage as well - enough for about 45 hi def movies.

I have not read many threads here so this may have been covered but: DVD’s are essentially dead - many don’t have DVD players - if it’s a hard copy it’s on a flash / thumb drive. Everything is download and I assume this has been covered. It is very easy to watermark a video and get it flagged if someone has put it online without your permission. monetizing is easy and storage is easy. Vimeo and Dropbox come to mind. Putting up and taking down is super simple.

Religion is something one sets aside as practice overtakes it. But the archetypes and Being-ness one recognized requires no religion but may look like it in devotion to purity in any array of colors it shows itself in. At such a point any Saint or Sage or High Symbol of Being-ness or “God” brings one’s bow to form. It is a time whereby no measure of self sense can compare to the most high immeasurable - a bow to this is both facing the unbearable and an approach to the glorious. On does not need belief or to even know of the symbol/person/saint/sage/god/‘s teaching or mythology. It’s like kissing the ground

My mother was first proposed to by Buster Keaton - I like his stuff We have a cargo case given to my mother by his mother. I used to play poker with Steve Martin prior to his fame - I’ve enjoyed his writing and when he first hit the scene he put all of us on the floor. Jonathan Winters was the best improv multiple personality master. No body prior to Prior quite like Prior. Jim Gaffigan is fun for the whole family and he comes with his own whispering critic Chappelle is deep Groucho was no bodies fool - in credible - like Buster Keaton he was his own man

Dark Night of the Soul An agonizing and liberating experience when one has come to the absolute limit of wilfulness with regard to a situation or situations. When no part of the tools one has used in the past is applicable. It is where the bag of tricks are at a dead end and one is confronted with non-doing. One is presented with a debasing of all positions, past views and exercised contrivances. A feeling of *nowhere to go* at a depth that depletes all grasping to mere folly but without complete release from the trappings of axiety about ones perceived predicament - though even the perception of that predicament is in question. A poisition from which one does not seek help from others for answers - where *answers* are not sought. A state where from one comes to put one foot in front of another and one walks in grace with wilfulness suspended - one step at a time in the present as a child.

They are in Berkeley CA and bought a huge building there about 20 years ago from from the previous owners - who were The Berkeley Psychic Institute which was quite large at the time and had many institutes. When I am in Berkeley this week I’ll stop by and find out their name.

There are many ways to do what you are asking - the burning paper idea does work on some levels. You can also simply postulate that the agreements that brought you together and that have found you in separation are finished - as in the contracts you had between yourselves is now finished - you can write this down on the paper and burn it. If this is done in resistance it will be far less effective than if it is done in simple no effort. You can repeat the process for 7 days. In so doing you are releasing the both of you energetically. If there is something to forgive - greet forgiveness without willfulness and a kick in the behind. Drop it - simply drop it. If you are one to visualize things - close your eyes and imagine you sitting across from the person. First simply sit with this image and notice any resistance in your physical and energetic bodies that come to pass from sitting across from this person and breath into it and feel the tension dissolve or fall away. Do this until you feel you are not IN resistance. Now imagine that a table appears between the two of you and it has a bowl of fire gently burning. Imagine that any agreements you still have with the person are floating over and dropping into the bowl - and notice that as those agreements go into the burning bowl some energy floats out in vibrant neutrality and some of it goes back to you and some of it goes back to the person across from you. This is the life force that you both had in those agreements. You are both getting it back in Present Time. Address yourself within and know you are spotless - you have not been tarnished in any way. The person that is across from you is as you - spotless and untarnished. Rigidized patterns and held momentums brought you together and are released - releasing will ease over time. Give devotion to higher states - move on - forgive. Be in the center of your bodies - take no side

In no-time no-space - Awareness can be in varying degrees of time and space - it is no longer one or the other. Patience and Compassion are not taught - in the receding of resistance this unfolds. Grace will emerge as willfulness no longer deflects it. The deep resonance of Mantra and Mandala - the Logos unfolds - the Gods come forth - intelligent Objectless emotion - Devotion. In no-time no-space Patience and Compassion are without constraint. In deep grace and devotion the expanse resonates through the subtle bodies of which there are many. Devotion is not too some thing or some one - it is residence of Presence in Creation - dancing in archetype - becoming archetype. Devotion may be localized and constricted and identified and personified - but underneath it is resonance with that far beyond the localizations. It is beyond beliefs. True Devotion settles within - in Grace it comes - unfolds. It finds abidance and gives comfort in the vast ever changing stillness. (Perhaps this was an example of tangential ramblings - it’s what the finger pecked out)

For the goals stated in bold above it takes very very little work - these are simple things. Certainly they can be quite interesting and one can spend years or a lifetime and more on them - but they are very simple and easy to attain even at high levels with very little effort. Telekinesis will only be simple to the extent of far greater development so ones abilities in this will be far more defined not by simple effort but according to fundamental and vast transitions of one’s nature. It is a simple ability that requires no- effort but to any real degree it requires a great deal. Astral projection for many happens with no effort - and learning it is something easily done from internet videos. Energy work is something everyone does all the time - practicing it is more like developing a muscle you already have and that is already fully working but simply weak and not flexed all that much in skillful ways. The internet teaches this stuff all day long. Want to wake up your kundalini? This is incredibly easy - the Internet has a thousand ways - and even without practice it may awaken in all sorts of ways. There are also kundalini recovery groups and retreat centers - and outreach for those in psychiatric care facilities. Want to channel? Again this is something humans do all the time but to bring it up a notch is a piece of cake. In fact it can literally be a piece of cake - sugar is a great way to channel for those looking to channel in the fastest way possible. Humans spend nearly every moment in trance - channeling requires trance. Want to experience massive trance channeling? Go to a Fundamentalist religious service - or any with lots of steady vibrant upping of the energies and quotes and shouting. What is great is that the more easily prone you are to having these experiences and other incredible experiences the easier it will be to find your island paradises and eat the grapes and live in the fantastical worlds. you can also easily learn to manipulate others and not just yourself - particularly if you accept the highest platitudes for yourself. It’s super easy to learn how to know you are virtuous and truthful - everyone is born with this natural assumption - just don’t question yourself and if others don’t like it - why would you care? If you are headed to a hell realm you can fix that when you get to them. The candy store is everywhere - but candy never was food - the islands and the grapes they provide were never real - no terra firma. The Rabbits way is a grandiose and pompous way even if it’s modest - it’s built on a foundation of ME. (In Me-ness you might become a wizard but it will be in a dry desert)

It is interesting to note: In many years of speaking to students and others in conversation regarding the importance of the Basic's - and just how primary and fundamental and incredible the basic's are - NOT ONE person has ever asked something like "you stress the importance and comprehensive nature of the Basic's pretty frequently - can you expound on what you mean and include in the Basic's - i think most of us are incline to assume we understand what the basics are but you seem to include much more" Please note - NOT ONE What is most important about this fact is that it illustrates just how much we do not wish to open our opinions and boxed in notions to elaborations that effect our own inertia's - AND the idea that Basic's take about one class to get a full understanding of.
