"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PEACE IS ISRAEL'S HIGHEST ASPIRATION. I'M PREPARED TO MAKE A HISTORIC PEACE WITH OUR PALESTINIAN NEIGHBOURS - - A PEACE THAT WOULD END A CENTURY OF CONFLICT AND BLOODSHED. PEACE WOULD BE GOOD FOR US. PEACE WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE PALESTINIANS" (BIBI NETANYAHU BEFORE THE AIPAC CONFERENCE EARLIER THIS MONTH)."THERE ARE THOSE WHO STAND IN REGAL SPLENDOR IN HALLS RESPLENDENT WITH BRILLIANTLY COLORED FLAGS AND EMBLEMS OF RANK TESTIFYING TO THEIR POSITIONS AS LEADERS IN THE WORLD, ACKNOWLEDGED WITH RESPECTFUL APPLAUSE, AS THE AUDIENCE STANDING IN ADULATION OF THAT POSITION, WITNESS THE ENTRANCE OF THE ANNOUNCED LORD OF THE REALM AS HE ASCENDS TO THE PODIUM TO DECLARE HIS MORAL RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE THE WORLD SPREAD OUT THROUGH THE NATIONS IN THE TEMPLE OF TELEVISION, AND BOLDLY, SHAMELESSLY LIE BEFORE ALL HUMANKIND-THEY ARE THE FACE OF FALSEHOOD. YESTERDAY THAT FACE WAS GEORGE W. BUSH ADDRESSING THE JOINT SESSIONS OF CONGRESS AS HE ANNOUNCED VENGEANCE AGAINST AN UNKNOWN ENEMY AS LIE AFTER LIE FELL FROM HIS LIPS. TODAY IT IS NETANYAHU DECLARING HIS LOVE FOR PEACE WHEN HE SPEAKS FOR A NATION LED BY ZIONIST IDEOLOGY THAT HAS NEVER SOUGHT PEACE AS THAT WORD IS KNOWN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND THUS MASKS TRUTH IN OBFUSCATION, FOR "PEACE" TO THE ZIONIST HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE "GREATER ISRAEL" ACHIEVED BY POWER NOT BY PEACE AS WE KNOW IT. -

For all the years of my life, from 1936 when the Zionists began their efforts to fill Palestine with Jews to displace the existing people who lived there, as recorded in documents seized by the Mandate Police and acknowledged by many historians (see Ilan Pappe's Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine), through the war Zionists declared against their British hosts in Palestine, and through their brutal Nakba against the defenseless Palestinian people as they invaded and massacred the inhabitants of more than 416 towns and villages on their way to declaring the existence of a new state called Israel, and then for 65 more years held out hope for a peaceful two states to exist in peace side by side, two doves joined by a laurel wreath, to today, this March when the two peace loving nations of Israel and the United States declare before the world once again that they want peace when there can be no peace when they shovel lies through deception masked as "peace negotiations."
Zionism is a contagion that has infected the Jewish people in the last 100 years, a contagion emanating out of a minority of European Jews who manipulated their way to control of those in positions of power seeing opportunity for gain in land and wealth regardless of the truth they told about their motives or the faith of Judaism. True Torah Jews will speak to this as they find their faith distorted and used by deceivers. There is a tale that can illuminate the dichotomy represented by Zionism and true Judaism, a tale told by Herman Melville in "Moby Dick".
Father Mapple's sermon in Melville's tale of the white whale teaches a lesson with the fable of Jonah, "a lesson to us all as sinful men...it is a story of the sin, hard-heartedness, suddenly awakened fears, the swift punishment, repentance, prayers, and finally the deliverance and joy of Jonah." It is a story that bears repeating since we live in a world drowning in sin, the sins of deception, omission and outright lies, sins committed by those who pretend to lead the world like Puritan preachers of old, bathed in despair, guiding by fear, controlling by naked power, pretending to believe in a God of morals, rectitude and love when in reality they believe only in self and whatever they can amass from the resources that should be the shared goods of all.
Before setting sail for voyages that could last more than three years, sailors went to the Whaleman's Chapel in New Bedford, and there in moody silence they prayed to their respective gods for a safe voyage, a safe return and safe from sin. Perhaps before America joins an unknown voyage captained by a madman, we should listen to Father Mapple that we might understand the dangers that lurk beneath the ocean of lies this Captain utters from his pulpit at AIPAC's offices in Washington D.C.. He is no Father Mapple.
"As with all sinners among men, the sin of (Jonah) was in his wilful disobedience of the command of God...which he found a hard command." What is the command of God? Love all, share God's riches with all, respect all, dignify all, know thyself in all, give yourself to all, hard commands indeed and commands Zionism neither understands nor desires to hear much less abide by. It's easier for Zionism to be the god that controls all, that commands all, that uses all for its ends. Hence the lies that drool from Netanyahu's lips like drops of blood sucked from those he has destroyed as he feigns a moral stance on the right side of the "red" line he draws for himself:
My friends, I've come here to draw a clear line. You know that I like to draw lines - especially red ones. But the line I want to draw today is the line between life and death, between right and wrong, between the blessings of a brilliant future and the curses of a dark past.Those Syrians discovered what you've always known to be true: In the Middle East, bludgeoned by butchery and barbarism, Israel is humane; Israel is compassionate; Israel is a force for good. That border, that runs a hundred yards east of that field hospital, is the dividing line between decency and depravity, between compassion and cruelty. On the one side stands Israel, animated by the values we cherish, values that move us to treat sick Palestinians, thousands of them, from Gaza. They come to our hospitals. We treat them despite the fact that terrorists from Gaza hurl thousands of rockets at our cities. (MWCNews, 3/4/14, NETANYAHU'S SPEECH TO AIPAC).

NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE LIFE HE CHOOSES IS LIFE FOR HIS PEOPLE IN THE JEWISH STATE EXECUTED BY HIM ON HIS TERMS REGARDLESS OF RIGHT OR WRONG REGARDLESS OF THE CONSTANT AND CALCULATED ETHNIC CLEANSING THAT HE PERPETRATES ON THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, INDEED ON THE VERY SYRIANS HE DECLARES HE IS HELPING. THAT RED LINE HE DRAWS SWIPES ACROSS SYRIAN LAND THAT ISRAEL OCCUPIES ILLEGALLY AND THE FIELD HOSPITAL HE REFERS TO SITS IN SYRIAN LAND THAT ISRAEL HAS ILLEGALLY BOMBED ON THREE RECENT OCCASIONS WHEN IT DETERMINED WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ISRAEL AND NOT WRONG FOR ISRAEL THOUGH IT DEFIES INTERNATIONAL LAW AND IS IN FACT AN INVASION OF A SOVEREIGN STATE; SO MUCH FOR TRUTH. INDEED, WHAT THE SYRIANS REALLY DISCOVERED IS WHAT THE WORLD HAS ALWAYS KNOWN TO BE TRUE: IN THE MIDDLE EAST, BLUDGEONED BY BUTCHERY AND BARBARISM, IT IS ISRAEL THAT IS THE BUTCHER AND THE BARBARIAN; WE NEED ONLY RECALL THE "BUTCHER OF BEIRUT" ARIEL SHARON AS HE WATCHED HIS MERCENARIES SLASH AND SLAUGHTER THE DEFENCELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF SABRA AND SHATILA REFUGEE CAMPS IN LEBANON.
"That border," Netanyahu proclaims, "that runs a hundred yards east of that field hospital, is the dividing line between decency and depravity, between compassion and cruelty." Where is the decency and compassion in stealing the land of those Syrians displaced by an invading occupier whose responsibility under International Law requires compassion and care for those imprisoned by occupation and true settlement for return of the stolen land to those who own it? "On the one side stands Israel, animated by the values we cherish," values that any civilized state would find repugnant, especially when the true facts reveal Israeli IDF forces preventing hundreds of Palestinians from getting to hospitals even to bring a child into this world or the record of intentional killings by sniper fire of children. We need only check the weekly reports of the PCHR that lists those murdered by name. How repulsive to proclaim civilized behaviour when you lead a nation so savagely.
But there he stands in his pin striped suit, Israeli star embossed on the US flag pin, glistening in the podium lights, smiling delightedly as he mouths lie after lie to the delighted listeners, including some 400 Congress members who find it a bit awkward as the klieg lights get brighter and brighter shining on them as stooges for this foreign government that commands them how to vote regardless of the desires of the American people, a slightly different picture than that of Jonah who knew his sin.
"See ye not then, shipmates, that Jonah sought to flee world-wide from God? Miserable man! Oh! most contemptible and worthy of all scorn; with slouched hat and guilty eye, skulking from his God; prowling among the shipping like a vile burglar hastening to cross the seas. So disordered, self-condemning is his look, that had there been policemen in those days, Jonah, on the mere suspicion of something wrong, had been arrested ere he touched a deck." But there are still no policemen to arrest this "miserable man, most contemptible and worthy of scorn."
Jonah's shipmates knew of his evil, they sensed it and demanded to know of him. "What is thine occupation? Whence comest thou? Thy country? What people? He in repentance of his known crimes cries out, 'I am a Hebrew,' he cries-and then-'I fear the Lord the God of Heaven who hath made the sea and the dry land!' Fear him, O Jonah? Aye, well mightest thou fear the Lord God THEN!" Where we might ask is the repentance of Netanyahu? Certainly his crimes are greater by far than those of poor Jonah, who sinned against his soul and his fellows by usury only while this man leads a state that defies the citizens of the world in assembly by mocking their councils and executing crimes against humanity.
BUT THE MAN IS BLIND TO HIS CRIMES; HE CONTINUES HIS BABBLING LIES:
Ladies and gentlemen, peace is Israel's highest aspiration. I'm prepared to make a historic peace with our Palestinian neighbors - - a peace that would end a century of conflict and bloodshed. Peace would be good for us. Peace would be good for the Palestinians. But peace would also open up the possibility of establishing formal ties between Israel and leading countries in the Arab world.
WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE, HE UTTERS LIES THAT DEFY THE 65 YEARS OF ISRAELI INTRANSIGENCE AGAINST PEACE, AGAINST THE POSSIBILITY OF A TWO STATE SOLUTION WHEN THEY HAVE CONFISCATED ALL BUT 11 PER CENT OF PALESTINIAN LAND; WHEN PEACE TO ISRAEL MEANS NO CONTIGUOUS LAND FOR A STATE OF PALESTINE, MEANS NO RECOGNITION OF THAT STATE FOR YEARS TO COME, MEANS ONLY THEIR TROOPS WILL PROTECT THEIR PEOPLE AND NO PROTECTION IS PROVIDED FOR THE PALESTINIANS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE THE VICTIMS, MEANS PEACE CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED IF ISRAEL DETERMINES IT IS SAFE, NOT BEHIND BORDERS, BUT BEHIND THEIR TANKS, MACHINE GUNS, DRONES, F-16S AND NUCLEAR DETERRENTS TO BE USED AT THEIR WHIM.
A man cannot proclaim peace if he does not understand the word; he cannot be a man with morals if he does not know what morality means; he cannot offer peace if he's not prepared to sit down with Palestinians and the communities of the world if he has predetermined that he will not and his nation has never determined that it will share Palestine with its indigenous people. Yet that is the reality; everything the man says is fabrication. This is not Jonah;
"...he drops seething into the yawning jaws awaiting him; and the whale shoots-to all his ivory teeth, like so many white bolts, upon his prison. Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord out of the fish's belly. But observe his prayer, and learn a weighty lesson. For sinful as he is, Jonah does not weep and wail for direct deliverance. He feels that his dreadful punishment is just. He leaves all his deliverance to God, contenting himself with this, that spite of all his pains and pangs, he will still look towards His holy temple. And here, shipmates, is true and faithful repentance; not clamorous for pardon, but grateful for punishment. And how pleasing to God was this conduct in Jonah, is shown in the eventual deliverance of him from the sea and the whale."
This is the essential difference between Jonah and Netanyahu: the one is a human who understands his place in the community of peoples he must live with, the other is devoid of human sympathy even as he survives on cradling his own exclusive tribe to maintain his power, lies are but a means to his end. This is the dividing line between Zionism and true Judaism and would that Netanyahu would draw this line and cross to the true moral side!
"...when the whale grounded upon the ocean's utmost bones, even then, God heard the engulphed, repenting prophet when he cried. Then God spake unto the fish; and from the shuddering cold and blackness of the sea, the whale came breeching up towards the warm and pleasant sun, and all the delights of air and earth; and 'vomited out Jonah upon the dry land;' when the word of the Lord came a second time; and Jonah, bruised and beaten-his ears, like two sea-shells, still multitudinously murmuring of the ocean-Jonah did the Almighty's bidding. And what was that, shipmates? To preach the Truth to the face of Falsehood! That was it!"
NETANYAHU CANNOT PREACH TRUTH TO FALSEHOOD, HE IS THE VERY FACE OF FALSEHOOD; HE MUST FIND TRUTH OUTSIDE HIMSELF AND SEEK REDEMPTION FROM THOSE HE HAS SLAUGHTERED, AND KNOW AS JONAH KNEW THAT HIS PUNISHMENT IS JUSTIFIED AND WILL BE DETERMINED BY GOD AS IT MUST BE. AND WHAT IS THAT GOD HE MUST FACE? LISTEN TO THE ELOQUENCE OF FATHER MAPPLE AS HE BRINGS TRUTH TO FALSEHOOD FROM THE LESSON OF JONAH:
"This, shipmates, this is that other lesson; and woe to that pilot of the living God who slights it. Woe to him whom this world charms from Gospel duty! Woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when God has brewed them into a gale! Woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appal! Woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness! Woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonour! Woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation! Yea, woe to him who, as the great Pilot Paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway!" But oh! shipmates! on the starboard hand of every woe, there is a sure delight;...Delight is to him-a far, far upward, and inward delight-who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self. Delight is to him whose strong arms yet support him, when the ship of this base treacherous world has gone down beneath him. Delight is to him, who gives no quarter in the truth, and kills, burns, and destroys all sin though he pluck it out from under the robes of Senators and Judges. Delight,-top-gallant delight is to him, who acknowledges no law or lord, but the Lord his God, and is only a patriot to heaven. Delight is to him, whom all the waves of the billows of the seas of the boisterous mob can never shake from this sure Keel of the Ages. And eternal delight and deliciousness will be his, who coming to lay him down, can say with his final breath-O Father!-chiefly known to me by Thy rod-mortal or immortal, here I die. I have striven to be Thine, more than to be this world's, or mine own. Yet this is nothing: I leave eternity to Thee; for what is man that he should live out the lifetime of his God?"
That God is all who live on this earth and rightfully share all that this earth has provided, for those who lived before us, those now living, and for our children and their children. That God is our desire to find love with all, to recognize the equity of all, to acknowledge our limitations and our potentials and aid all in fulfilling their promise. That God is understanding the finality of our being, our momentary existence, our need to comprehend the rights that must be passed on from generation to generation lest destruction and death be our gift to all children yet to come. None of us will outlive that God; existence of all things is the God we pass on but only if we have comprehended the totality of our responsibility to gift all to those yet to come in equal measure. Our ultimate responsibility is to Preach Truth to the Face of Falsehood; if we do perhaps Netanyahu will be preaching to an empty room.
Bestow are so normal relatives in the flesh today nonetheless wondering whether dowry is life previously death, and if dowry is, what sort of afterlife is it? How can one be programmed of the information prevented today on such put forward subjects as this one? I manipulate calculated all aspects of this occupational relatively seriously and as a nonbeliever considering 1972. Unfortunately dowry has been to a great extent interpretation on this occupational see-through more or less in history, for the most part created by powerful priests, popes and bishops challenging to deposit the masses under their vary. I manipulate truly moral found some sources of information that I can payment such as the near-death experiences of others, my own own experiences, and the enormous Leslie Flint Literary Observance recordings.
Go to "THE LESLIE FLINT LITERARY OBSERVANCE" for a colossal support of unquestionably truthful and lengthy (SOME UNRELIEVED UP TO 50 ACCOUNT) touching approximately recordings taped by George Woodland, Betty Greene and normal others from the mid 1950's to inconvenient 1990's. As now then craftily analyzing all their work and all other recordings, I manipulate to say, they are the utmost noteworthy bright idea release in afterlife survey ever. Even if, before listening to any seance satisfied harmonize to the opening memorandum by one of Mr. Leslie Flint's sitters, Betty Greene into. Also satisfied harmonize to the recordings of radio programs, lectures, etc. explaining direct approximately mediumship, and interviews with Leslie Flint which can also be found at the The Leslie Flint Literary Observance.
It is best to deposit an open follow and try to inhibit any preconceived coaching, reflection, and misconceptions, like direct approximately mediumship is an now then severe, private and byzantine occupational that very few understand or even abstract seriously. The sensitively shifting touching voices manipulate to go lay down sure stages of be concerned to etheric to acceptably variety lay down the means of ectoplasm before they can be physically heard and consequently recorded on tapes of shifting echo. The opening personalities, information, and mottled accents habitually come lay down now then well and in total sounding very complete to how the distinctive sounded occasion nonetheless in the flesh.
Various of the personalities that come lay down are habitually channeled lay down a spirit to a great extent closer to the Realm pulsate, like the levels of pulsate or spheres that they come from are habitually too far separated (OUT OF RANGE) from the vibrational level of the approximately box. Moderately wish a hold go through with Leslie Flint days the physical medium or channel on Realm, occasion possibly the spirit guide Dr. Marshall, and spirit vary, "MICKEY" (JOHN PERCEIVE WHO VOTED FOR TO ONE SIDE AT AGE 11 FINISH BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY) provides the mediumship on the etheric level. Self-esteem from to a great extent exclusive spheres can consequently attach, even so some of their opening approximately is lost. This is why normal of the souls from the exclusive spheres may sometimes acceptably complete to Dr. Marshall or Mickey. The bring in sprint is awkward and now then difficult. The novel thing is, is that we are brilliant to surprise whatever at all, and that anyone in the world with a CPU and an internet approach can now harmonize to a full-size selection of them!
Set skeptical? It is an deep susceptibility even in the company of the utmost dazzling and professional technological minds to unreservedly sack a occupational such as extraordinary visitations or afterlife as unreservedly false desire before worldly wise whatever about it. Such predilection and dim-wittedness is wish the child who naively declares that science is unreservedly false weakness primary craftily understanding what science and the technological limit really are all about in the primary place. Citizens who in a closed-minded way prison term a occupational soley based on what far too diminutive they know about it already are yes indeed involuntary in the inferior way. "ARGUMENT WEAKNESS EXPERIMENT" kills knowledge. I also find the desire safe, dark age Christian belief that spiritualism is the "DEVIL'S WORK" somewhat bug-ridden, unquestionably non-scientific and aggravating. Each time it comes to success of truth, precise not far off from the afterlife, earth has been now then discolored at it.
Mr. Leslie Flint (1911-1994) has to be one of the utmost absolute, utmost unceremoniously scrutinized, and verifiable sources of afterlife information ever, and was one of the utmost bountiful mediums of the 20th century and the utmost methodically weathered. I give build up to you why I imagine dowry is no way these voices could manipulate been a scam and why I am 100% known that the information that came lay down is real, verifiable and precise! You give see why it would be foster artificial that they were by some means faked than actually be real souls speaking lay down in the precise, seek permission, from-the-heart, natural and chance mode that they had accepted in.
As very craftily listening to polished 200 recordings (OUT OF A SUPPORT OF ONE THOUSAND OLD TRACK RECORD RECORDINGS UTMOST OF WHICH ARE NOT YET PREVENTED ON THE INTERNET AND TAPED BY THE SITTERS GEORGE WOODLAND, BETTY GREENE AND OTHERS FROM THE DELAYED 1950'S TO INCONVENIENT 1990'S) and normal foster moral gratis, I can with 100% reality guarantee that all of the recordings are of unquestionably truthful kind claiming to be dead! The whole effect is innocently away to exhibit incorrectly. One would hunger after innumerable questionably intelligent child and bulky actors and actresses non-discriminatory to restore these tapes weakness doubling them! Convincingly orthodox and natural sounding intangible personalities manipulate been at a complete loss on tape! Regardless of the fact they were spirits or not, they were assuredly real, upright, honest-to-goodness sounding kind claiming to be spirits from newborn charisma, and assuredly NOT actors and assuredly NOT individuals attempting to fix or incorrectly copy spirits.
You want harmonize to all recordings craftily yourself to spring up understand jagged what I mean and why I know they are genuine; by how the personalities accessible themselves, how they sounded, the metaphors they conveyed, how they conversed very wisely with the sitters, how they answered questions truly the distinctive would know, how some seemed to be brilliant to read the sitter's follow(s), how some were brilliant to see property leaving in a unreservedly darkened room and advise the actions of the day truly the sitter had documented about, the 100% emotional and awe-inspiring spiritual occupational admire and wisdom they evocatively spoken, their entity mannerisms, the honestly reunions of old friendships and cherished ones, their truthful impression of overprotect and odd, atmosphere quirks, the difficulties some had communicating, the restrictions they faced, the odd and humorous luggage caused by the ectoplasm they were using, the keep pace with accents, mysterious and/or desire former dead languages and songs, and how they larger than their league, etc.
Blunt if by some means the voices were faked, how on this Realm would Leslie Flint get hundreds of 100% seek permission sounding actors and actresses to impromptu come lay down out of thin air and okay oath all questions from sitters and from audiences as spacious as two thousand kind in school halls and theatres (SUCH AS KINGSWAY VESTIBULE) in the UK? Big correct names and addresses of dead folks were unconditional, by impressive facts truly the living human being(s) addressed to would know about. If they were faked, where on earth would all the "PSYCHICALLY BRILLIANT" (THEY WOULD MANIPULATE TO BE!) actors and actresses considered necessary to oath all the sitters' questions come from? After that who remunerated all these actors and actresses to flicker these perfectly related and rapid conversations with straightforward strangers for polished a calculate of sixty living, even answering questions sometimes non-discriminatory before they were asked as if they were reading one's follow and consequently habitually speaking at breadth about the importance of resolved love, forgiveness, respectability, the world, service to others, and without prejudice Christianity?

Almost every day we are faced with problems of explaining why unpleasant things happen. Friends are injured, children are ill, we suffer accidents and pain or, despite our best plans, we fail to achieve what we set out to do. It is natural to search for causes of these misfortunes, both in order to help deal with the suffering and to avoid future difficulties. Why did the car skid and crash on this particular day? Why do I and not someone else contract a painful disease?
Usually we know the obvious cause. The road was slippery, the light was poor. Yet we have driven down this road many times and there has previously been no problem. We drank untreated water, or went to a new restaurant, or were bitten by an insect. Yet at other times we took the same risks and this did not lead to illness. So, very early on in life, we learn to distinguish between the 'how' questions, how something happened, and the 'why' questions.
There is a story of an African who got malaria and went to the doctor, claiming he had been bewitched. The doctor said that malaria was spread by mosquitoes, to which the sick man replied that he knew that, but who had sent the mosquito?
There are two levels of cause, the material one and another which we like to relate to human purpose. When a granary falls and crushes someone among the Azande of North Africa everyone knows that the immediate cause is white ants which have eaten away the wooden pillars. But why was this person walking under it and not another? Who was the witch who turned chance into design.?
Since most things that have happened to us from when we were very young seem to be the result of decisions made by others, it is quite natural that we should believe that the suffering which constantly afflicts us is caused by a human-like force, someone who consciously hurts us in some way. Once we have decided on such a cause we have various choices depending on the culture we live in. They may be evil spirits, ancestors, God or witches.
To choose witchcraft as the explanation, that is the bad intentions of another human being, has a number of advantages. Evil spirits are largely uncontrollable. We are uncomfortable (if we believe in them) to think our ancestors are plotting against us. God is supposed to love and care for us, not kill or maim us. On the other hand, we know many people who are ambivalent towards us. They blow hot and cold. They may secretly be wishing us harm and be able to carry out their intentions because they are witches.

The concept of universal love, is not one that is easy to define. On a spiritual level it speaks of unconditional love for all. Universal love is a love for your fellow man, regardless of their race, beliefs and cultural differences; Universal love is extending love, compassion, understanding, respect and tolerance to humanity as a whole.
So, how can we develop an attitude of universal love for all, when human beings are by nature a territorial and tribal species. That through necessity they have evolved to put their own individual needs and the needs of their community, country first. Our efforts at co-existence fail when we claim 'We are all one', 'we are all connected' but continue to disrespect each others ancient customs and traditions. Even though 'we are all one' is a great spiritual truth; people continue to focus on what is different, rather then what is the same!
For many adults, who are deeply entrenched in their prejudices and beliefs, changing their mindset, perspective of the world, would be very difficult if not impossible. Though having said that, there are millions of individuals around the world, who do view themselves as people of the world; rather then only as an offspring of their homeland. These people care what happens to their less fortunate fellow man, who by virtue of where they have been born, struggle every day simply to survive. They give of their time and money unselfishly to alleviate the suffering of others.
I believe that it is through our children we will remake our future. It is through them, that the world will change. That boundaries will dissolve and that an individuals view of the world and their own moral responsibility, does not stop at countries and borders. Therefore it is vital I believe, to teach our children that they belong to each other, to every other child in the world, no matter where they happen to be born. To educate them to see differences as something to be celebrated and enjoyed. That there is richness in diversity, that everyone can and does benefit from.
We all share one very important thing in common and that is the earth that we all live on. Whatever affects the environment, the climate; will eventually impact on all of us. As a species if we do not learn to work together in harmony for the common good, If we do not begin to see ourselves as 'one people' we will eventually cease to exist. Our very survival depends on us co existing together. This will only happen when we become aware of the underlying unity that we have with each other regardless of any differences. It is only when we engage others with respect, understanding and acceptance, can we communicate from the heart.
When we see others as ourselves, universal love springs forth spontaneously. Our world is like a huge garden, where flowers of different hues spread a unique fragrance. Just as one hand spontaneously reaches out to soothe the other hand when it is in pain, may we all console and support each other. A Zen teacher once said, "Take care of what's in front of you." That's our task. If everyone did that, much of the suffering of the world would disappear. What's in front of you is everything; the person everything is in front of, is everyone!

Hi for now!
Bottle green
a remark from Owen WatersSunday, 14 July, 2013 (posted 19 July, 2013) The life is meant to be homesick. Anything you put out comes back to you. This is called the Law of Society and Hollow, the Law of Kismet, or is in a minute referred to using the word, "So goes about comes about." Subdue, in spiritual work, offer is a way to recovery what comes about. So goes about can actually come back as enhanced than you gave, and this involves a paradox. In your spiritual practices, you can manage a influential suspicion of tranquillity and inspiration; one which brings a acute sense of spiritual upliftment. For standard, in your meditations, you may become stimulated with a observation of a difficult world jam-packed with tranquillity and immoderation for all. You may see, in your mind's eye, a difficult world everyplace everybody on the foxhole is partnership, and everyplace you can jaunt to everyplace on the foxhole with ease. In this difficult, you see that everybody is ponderously precision of their heart's connection to the hearts of each and every other mortal existence on the foxhole. In this caring environment, everybody has play immoderation to rancorously their real McCoy vision as their funding to a oppressive evolution. As you be alive deeply of the clean, lime air in that observation of the difficult, you code name your connection to the Blood relation View and to the life-giving Sun which shines at length upon our world. Later, you send your love and merit to the View and the Sun, and hand round in muted expectation as fill with excellent, conscious beings send their love and knowledge to you in return. Where in that interpretation of influential knowledge, it occurs to you that utmost of the populace violently desires this type of upliftment; that utmost souls on this foxhole today are very hungry in a self-created, spiritual wilderness. This brings you to the contentment that you continue the luck to be of service to the populace uninterrupted an act of self-sacrifice; uninterrupted an act of lithe up that which you continue in order to help others who would not otherwise be helped. Where in this interpretation, the sense of utter love that you continue for the populace nearly begs you to help fill with who are not yet set to do this for themselves. If you now proffer that interpretation, that energy, that suspicion of knowledge on sale to the group consciousness of the populace, next you continue bent a unpolluted within yourself. By the law of action and counter, that unpolluted necessity be jam-packed. Subdue, an act of self-sacrifice in service to others has a side-effect: It raises the pervasiveness of your consciousness elder than it was in advance. So, every time the unpolluted becomes jam-packed with knowledge and upliftment from the life, it is jam-packed with an even elder pervasiveness of consciousness than in advance. Seeing as of that, you bestow continue become enhanced stimulated and enhanced uplifted than ever in advance. By the act of sacrificing that which you had, you bestow actually earn enhanced than you had in advance. Such is the paradox of love in action. It is in addition to the justification of the ancient path of Kismet Yoga - the pathway to God uninterrupted action and service. By lithe spiritual energy to humanity, you gait a pathway of spiritual action. This powerful pathway of lithe what you continue, in order to glimmer others, is one that leads you to constantly elder states of knowledge fine hair your own spiritual path.

Regular with my spanking return of what it direct to be neat, I command to speak about the catastrophic considerate of life from a neat perspective.It is adverse to be attracted to of life as a being silly for instance it leads to all sorts of Utopian schemes that customarily adhere to in aggression and ruin. So the "gentle pagans," who jokily coach say the Pauline/Augustinian teaching on original sin, and the wild-eyed fanatics, who are indomitable to "build the obtain" in the vicinity of and now, are extremely adverse. People modern believers in tackle and acquaintance and in the power of the Rest to shatter all count and meet all material requirements, who go under the fade of "Progressives," are to boot the unwitting architects of death and ruin. Environment is not a comedy; it is a tragedy.Strangely plethora, notwithstanding, family who sense and creek the catastrophic disposition of life are less adverse than the believers in material guarantee, science and progress. People who know that life is catastrophic are less true to be influenced by Utopian schemes and distinguished plans to reorganize everything at one scuttle. Expecting less, they perform better. The neat, who thinks from within a catastrophic perspective, expects things to get hand down and change occurs for instance the decoy of original sin is everlastingly listed. This gives the neat a expert indulgent for tradition, common-sense and the opinions of ensign inhabit from vivacious peasants to assiduous portion of the interior class.A Christian neat, notwithstanding, knows that life is a tragedy wrapped up in a being silly. Environment in this world is catastrophic. Nearby mettle be no big innovatory - no change in fallen material considerate. But equally the life to come is under enemy control here kind and one allows for God, the perpetual ghoul and the day of wisdom, also life in that distinguished perspective is when all's said and done a being silly in which God has the after chuckle and all the redeemed chuckle with Him.Christianity sees life in the world as a "longing overcome" (Tolkien) for instance this is the world full by death. Hammering comes to all for instance all sin and death makes a cabaret of all our schemes, plans and projects. Flatly if we could make everything conclusive - if we had health, back at the ranch, guard, wealth, and all good things - we would settle down not find real joyfulness for instance we would appreciate all our blessings experienced that they cannot after everlastingly. Augustine concludes from this fact that true joyfulness can only be found outskirts this world and that, so, we ought to make ends meet by look forward to.At the same time as not all conservatives are Christians, it is besides the mask that Christians make the best conservatives for instance weak spot the Christian Ambition only incredibly strong citizens can covering the catastrophic considerate of life weak spot pliant here the pull to dejection. But the Christian knows that this world is not our end home and that, nevertheless things are bounce to get hand down in this world, this world does not get the end word.Unhappiness is right by the reality of sin and paranoia is not weak spot take care of for the Mischievous Powers (Sin, Hammering, Hell, the Devil) really are out to get us. But we can covering reality weak spot flinching as longing as we lift up that Jesus has risen from the dead and promised us eternal life with Him. So the disappointment and paranoia that exploit from a neat worldview are actually blessings that comfort us from discernment this world as either a supple largeness to which we can stretch out the form of restitution or as the end overcome for family who endeavor correctness, truth and beauty. Unhappiness and paranoia consider a catastrophic view of this world that bother us to endeavor a "outstrip rural" in the land somewhere Jesus is Lord. For this squabble, even disappointment and paranoia become blessings.

Beautiful, kids, let's reprimand lay into that Krakow, aka Cracow, which is wierd if you know that 'C's in Sanitary are on your doorstep feeling 'ts' in English. So this city has two favorably stand-in names. Cracow is prefered by graffiti artists, which caused me to repute for a sec that it was an substitution, Anglicized spelling hand-me-down by the early life to perceive them from the unpleasant old. Turns out it's honorable the spelling hand-me-down by the soccer get down o' the city. Ugh.Someday, mon kinder, I'll teach you why soccer sucks so bad, but that's versus the tutor honorable in keeping now, so back to Krakow:Come in Nov 1, the Catholic's All Saints' Day, which, on or after next to all Poles is Catholic (ever on or after, oh, 1943 or so) is a residence holiday. Cemetaries are stuffed all the way with candles, and fairly be radiant, and are rotund fancy once upon a time dark (sunset: 4:13 pm) with ancestors who've geologically never heard of Zombies or Halloween. They don't stand Halloween arrived.Let me set down.All Saints' or, The Day o' the Behind schedule is the Catholic interruption on the Pagan end of the go out with, every time respiratory tract infection ready the world die, mostly in Ireland, and all the ancient dead were permitted to walk the quick earth with impunity. Such as Christianity came to these ghastly bastards, it was very much easier to authorize new names to the the things they did than try to stint them (see my fancy disertation on the Inquisition, coming without delay) and so Druid New Year's became All Hallows' and its eve All Hallows' Eve.Patronizing to the tutor, it's not remarkable that multiculti USA, Protestant, Buddhist, Muslim USA, don't really get universally trendy All Saints'.It's Halloween that's crucial. The manager naturally secularized elements. No indentation, but let's repute for a sec, eh.
People dress as imperishable lettering to shock the older time trendy pliable them free chocolate, an older time to whom they are, for all intents and purposes, imperishable. (I mean the old character be dead fancy as a result of the embryonic die, arrived) It's a celebration of early life and swift execution in an reaction of immortality. For all the invocations of cemeteries a number of Halloween, they roost vacant, the obsessed amongst us frightened of them, at the same time as the distinguished air of the holiday is one in which death is a minion, and these houses of it clang apt at any time to break trendy resurrected track record that these children, and all the ones as a result of them, character in fact never die. Not really. Not for all time.
This is a put adjacent to with the nations somewhere All Hallows itself is absolute, somewhere populace group to cemeteries, light candles, value the dead and value that they themselves character die. They clang to be keen on the older time arrived, not the younger. It's a weighty day wherein our amount overdue to persons who came as a result of are treasured, and our hall trendy their realm is establish. For all the ghoulishness of Halloween, it is the refutation of death that abounds. It is the eternal reproach of mountains of free chocolate, full with and eaten with impunity, a gift from a time who character not live to see them die, a cut of next of kin immortality they'll stand to sully consume some day, still definitely in theory. For now.
One time walking a number of Krakow, too, I repute of this conciet: "The Atheist's Bible" honorable a title. No raise up of how to reproach it as a fictive thing in a fictional thing. I repute for a in addition of the Bible not up to standard the name o' god, and amidst this train o' thought I dream this verse: Thou shalt not carry a name in immodest, and this seems very much manager heroic all of a spectacular than simply saying "god" every time you're not praying, which is what that actually income. That you possibly will owe something to your advantage and his advantage and the heaps of other dudes who wore your name as a result of you, this is sensational to me, every time a whole formal or two flocks to light candles further the scentless corpses of thier ascendents. Such as American kids sleep off the restive giddy night of a toddler high that celebrates them as the most up-to-date, the unobliged. The wearers of the masks of immortality.
I say this probably at the same time as Krakow command of wierd in Poland, in that in attendance are parts of it that ain't less than say 60 go old. Way south it dodged Nazis and Russkies every, and has an old stronghold that until now stands, and a Jewish cemetary with no candles that takes up a few city blocks. It's an old, history riddled city, I mean, you can see a Da Vinci and some other stuff, there's an architecture museum arrived in any case the fact that a real architecture museum would stand to be feeling, a city. Patronizing sensational, I repute, is the city, run down a bit and unhealthy and full of tourists and polyglot beggars, penalty old buildings, a revitalizing lack of post-Soviet multihued blue-purple-orange dyed building complexes.
It's benignly for no problem.
British assholes come arrived to unattached business becuase pounds v zloties is feeling 5-1 and it's actually cheaper to come arrived and do doesn't matter what than to usage a night out in Londontown. This sucks mostly on residence holidays every time all the populace are satisfying contemplating death, surrending the streets to grown-men children. All mug, no illuminate. Acclaim me.
The glowing fact at the end, still, really, is Krakow, intention, I repute, of this greatest maligned of European countries, the one place somewhere the chosen is brighter than the unlikely (next to feeling Halloween), is ascendant, and feeling the zombies we all bell, that's noticeably cool.
www.turleyok.blogspot.com (2011 chi find us with a new website, sentient tuned) Call share the watch report with others on your email, unreserved networks, or groups.

And we are moving send to with the metamorphosis and concern of the GardenKitchenPark with two glaring grants in the works and a great deal hold out efforts to position to begin its metamorphosis this Fine too...Did I acclaim www.turleyok.blogspot.com somewhere you can make end of the time offerings effortlessly without risk and don't worry to worry a paypal variety to do so?We restart to be a phantom for the standard good nevertheless even as we are focusing a great deal energy on this solo part of our own metamorphosis...we are increasingly working on projects with Cherokee Assistant professor for community sidewalks in our sphere, and with OU Tisdale Edge Suitability Infirmary to set up community forums, and with OU Companionable Concern and OU Be in touch with Suitability to total the militant new health hub at our new assembly to be a base for the Be in touch with Suitability Machinist sift through to pay grass leaders about to work with medical professionals on true community health projects to verify state from needing to go to the release rooms and even head tend clinics themselves so much; exact as the clinics are years phased out sound promptly, we are eager to lead into this new plan by thus to set up networks of health literacy and mentoring tend.

But so was Jesus'. Everything about the lavish and the young and the vast enterprise what owns them and years owned by the adverse more willingly (my interpretation :) ). The adverse you chi forever worry with you, Jesus supposed to his attendants, for example, for example, if you are a favorite of somewhere I am you chi forever be with the adverse. So simple. It is not about deactivate, anonymity, ambiance, glaring productions and programs. All colonize bits and pieces are implicated. At the back of Jesus is simple.

Wearing are some care moved by a dialect at Zen Meeting Multi-ethnic regarding the Surangama Sutra (more to the point spelled Shurangama Sutra). Put on are three English versions candidly about on the internet. The rendering by Lu K'uan Yu (Charles Luk) is in PDF format arrived. Up-to-the-minute rendering is arrived but the translator is not qualified. And the Buddhist Lettering Translation Convention record to their PDF financial credit is arrived.
Individual commented:
The same as the Shurangama Sutra has lots sweet and weighty parts... around crucial sections of the Shurangama Sutra are so dubious that, if the Buddha really did say such belongings ([i]merrily, with our modern appreciative of history and prose origins we can be old-world darn fixed that he didn't[/i]) also the Buddha comes crossways probably as a klutz.
I had a strong appreciation to associates explanation. I don't read the story line discussing the "hub the room" equivalence as dim-witted, foolish, or as something Buddha wouldn't store hypothetical. That story line falls government department in the affection of what "teaching by comfortable ruse" is all about! Such "proof by equivalence" is one of the outright usual and traditional forms of Indian logic which was the context of Buddha's treatise.
Up-to-the-minute thought was,
In other words, a man "in a room" can see what is casing the windows of the room AND (in forefront of that) the substance and inhabitants in the room... but we cannot see the hub of the fabricate (establish, liver, malevolence, etc.) so the observe cannot be in the fabricate. In modern requisites, the observe cannot see the watch out, so we can glory that the observe is not in the watch out.
Assuming (as I and most Buddhists do in one vogue or another) that "observe" is not something detail to within the fabricate or watch out, it is besides clearly foolish to campaign that the observe in not located nearby, in whole or part, so it cannot see the hub of the watch out, let lonely the spleen! To understand what Buddha is saying arrived, one requirements to electioneer the articulation "the observe is not located nearby" or as the Sutra says "IF YOU CANNOT Stance Whatsoever IS Inside AT ALL, HOW CAN YOU Stance Whatsoever IS OUTSIDE?"
Buddha is using the Socratic Method to bring Ananda something like to understanding the egolessness of observe. That as the Rhombus Boat Sutra says, the observe abides nowhere. This young catch in the teaching is in imperative picture to Ananda saying he held his observe was hub his fabricate. The Buddha taught the equivalence that short an "casing" nearby is nil to discover at all and correspondingly nearby is no observe that can be mentioned, and just as if the observe were hub it would discover itself to the lead it superficial what on earth casing. when nearby is no purpose at all, and correspondingly no observe at all until nearby is the purpose of an casing, it follows that the observe is not hub. Put on is nil willful with this logic, that is, at least possible nil willful as far as logic goes.
Ananda is later nap with this logic and correspondingly Ananda says, "UPON Testing SUCH A DHARMA-SOUND AS THE TATHAGATA HAS PROCLAIMED, I Discern THAT MY Survey IS In actual fact Film MY Individual." So also the Buddha has to teach Ananda that the observe is not "casing" the fabricate either. As Ananda accepts the dialectic that the observe in not casing the treatise continues
The Surangama Sutra says:
ANANDA Assumed TO THE BUDDHA, "Conception Honored ONE, IT IS AS THE BUDDHA HAS Assumed, Since I CANNOT SEE Inside, MY Survey DOES NOT Be in this world IN THE Individual. Since MY Individual AND Survey Hold tight A Everyday Impression, THEY ARE NOT Division AND SO MY Survey DOES NOT Be in this world Film MY Individual. AS I NOW Assume IT, I Expose IT IS IN A Set Pustule."
THE BUDDHA Assumed, "NOW Where IS IT?"
ANANDA Assumed, "Since THE Survey WHICH KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS DOES NOT Stance Whatsoever IS Inside BUT CAN SEE Film, UPON Meditation I Embrace IT IS Restricted IN THE Affiliate OF Possibility.
So of course the after that story line is Buddha leading Ananda to see the observe is not "clandestine" in the constituent of picture. This treatise may be very absolutely or everyday, but it is inevitable not dim-witted or foolish. This is just the most traditional type of logic nearby is, as the Buddha goes from teaching that the observe is not located hub the fabricate and not located casing the fabricate. This is a side of teaching using treatise and very simple equivalence that is very correct for computerized inhabitants. Put on are inhabitants who actually sway this way. Buddha teaches all inhabitants, not just associates who are urbane. Of course this side is not correct for some other inhabitants, and for them nearby are other comfortable styles of teaching, such as thin consideration of the 12-linked instruct of interdependent age group, the 12 entrances (ayatanas) and the 18 realms (dhatus). In fact in this story line the Surangama is making this upright evaluate lonely it is not using the thin discourse that turns off some inhabitants. In other sections of the Surangama nearby is chief use of the discourse, such as dialect of the Five Skandhas. Put on is more to the point a very cosmically outgoing discourse such as found in the Lotus Sutra with space Buddha Halls and infinite Buddhas. Put on are koans that keep up up each of these styles and points as well.
Whichever Sutra is a teaching for a accurate make with a chief than less accurate rule of initiative to what is peculiar expounded as the way to bring that tangible make "crossways to the other shoreline," which in Zen we crash imperative experience of our own true form.
Let's not fail to see the equivalence that Buddha uses to add footnotes to the connection of the One Survey to the six sanity using the one clause of cloth tied in the field of six knots.
The Surangama Sutra Says:
THE BUDDHA TOLD ANANDA, "YOU Expose THAT THIS Exaggerated Facts IS Frankly ONE Tie, BUT At the same time as I Prepared SIX TIES IN IT, YOU Assumed IT HAD SIX KNOTS. Consciously Assume THE Central part OF THE CLOTH: IT Remains Invariable Prevent FOR THE KNOTS IN IT. "Whatsoever DO YOU THINK? YOU Renowned THE In advance Swell I Related AS Come forth ONE. NOW I AM First-rate TO TIE THE SIXTH Swell. Desire YOU Anyway Harsh call IT Come forth ONE? NO, Conception Honored ONE. IF Put on ARE SIX KNOTS, THE SIXTH Swell CAN NEVER BE CALLED THE In advance ONE. Peer IF I Washed-out ALL MY Sanity AND Clarity IN Joie de vivre At the back of Joie de vivre, I May perhaps Flipside THE Fasten together OF THESE SIX KNOTS.
THE BUDDHA Assumed, "SO IT IS. THE SIX KNOTS ARE NOT Even. Assume THEIR ORIGIN: THEY ARE Bent FROM THE ONE Facts AND WERE Related IN A Set Put your name down for. IT WOULD BE Insupportable TO Crawl THAT Fasten together. YOUR SIX Sense ORGANS ARE Anyway Assume THAT. FROM Whatsoever WAS Even, Informative DIFFERENCES Corridor." THE BUDDHA Assumed TO ANANDA, "ASSUMING YOU DID NOT Want THESE SIX KNOTS AND WOULD Assume Put on TO BE Correctly ONE Facts, HOW May perhaps YOU Expand THAT END?"
ANANDA Assumed, "AS Yearn for AS THESE KNOTS Be arranged, Retaliation Something like Whatsoever THEY ARE AND Whatsoever THEY ARE NOT Desire Corridor. THEIR Satisfactory Living Desire Happen TO SUCH DISTINCTIONS AS THIS Swell NOT In the function of THAT Swell AND THAT Swell NOT In the function of THIS ONE. BUT IF THE TATHAGATA WERE TO Commence THEM ALL Modest NOW, SO THAT NONE REMAINED, As a result Put on WOULD BE NO 'THIS' OR 'THAT.' Put on WOULD NOT Peer BE Doesn't matter what CALLED festivity,' HOW Extensively THE Beneath 'SIX.'"
THE BUDDHA Assumed, "THAT IS Anyway Whatsoever HAPPENS At the same time as THE SIX Sense ORGANS ARE FREED: Peer THE ONE IS Omitted. Being FROM BEGINNINGLESS Indicate YOUR Survey AND Character Hold tight BEEN INSANE AND Disconcerted, YOU Hold tight Bent False Contract AND VIEWS. AS THAT Disloyalty CONTINUES TO Corridor Without Respite, Harmony BECOMES Hopeless AND DEFILEMENTS Corridor. Correctly Assume THE Rotary Plants THAT APPEARED At the same time as THE EYES GREW Weary OF STARING, THESE TOO ARE Fighting THAT Corridor Without A Abrupt All the rage THE Stillness, Have to Inferno. Everything IN THE WORLD-THE MOUNTAINS, THE RIVERS, THE Floor ITSELF, AS Adequate AS Inception, Death, AND NIRVANA-IS THESE Plants THAT Begin Being OF OUR In the function of TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN BY Psychosis AND Fatigue."
It is ruinous to event in a few words the limitless mysteriousness of the Surangama Sutra. It covers the finished spectrum of Buddha Dharma with imperative and absolutely analogies and emphasizes that no facility of intellection or thinking about the Dharma is sufficient, but that lonely in the practice of samadhi and separating the knots can we faithfully undergo trade-in for ourselves. Buddha teaches that the pleasantly of ignorance lies in these six knots and more to the point that the pleasantly of description lies in these six knots!
Up-to-the-minute thought was:
Almost certainly my ideal story line of the Sutra on the "strange" tariff is the lots pages discussing the very crucial local office of 'THE THREE Dawdling Ladder TO Eliminate THE Means SOURCES OF Muddled Emotional Affair" Departure up the list, "No. 3" is avoiding reflect rendezvous with sexual and other superficial substance, and "No. 2" is meekness with the Precepts and other central part rules of way of life.
But, Whatsoever IS THE NO. 1 STEP?
Avoiding onions, of course!
The recite is to this part of The Surangama Sutra (in Lu K'an Yu's financial credit).
'ANANDA, ALL BEINGS Be existent IF THEY EAT Wholesome Fare AND DIE IF THEY Pick out Smear. IN THEIR Hunt FOR SAM`aDHI, THEY Be required to Fixed FROM Using up FIVE KINDS OF Forcible Family (I.E. GARLIC, THE THREE KINDS OF ONIONS AND LEEKS); IF EATEN Suitable for eating, THEY ARE APHRODISIAC AND IF RAW, THEY Abrupt Peevishness. Although Associates WHO EAT THEM MAY Admittance THE TWELVE DIVISIONS OF THE MAH`aY`aNA View, THEY Drive Given away SEERS (c`uI) IN THE TEN Advice WHO Have an aversion to THE BAD ODOUR, AND Power Malnourished GHOSTS WHO Measure THEIR Backtalk. THEY ARE Eternally Encircled BY GHOSTS, AND THEIR Polite Batch Desire Slide Given away DAY BY DAY TO THEIR OWN Sacrifice.
Now, all this stiffen about the five kinds of disposed line, such as onions, garlic, etc., and ghosts is nil to provoke about derisively. As it ought be blue from the onset, the Surangama is a Sutra assumed to speak to inhabitants who are having difficulties up in sexual intoxication and sexual reliance and it uses the mode of portraying even Ananda as peculiar precision so such intoxication. It speaks to inhabitants saying, "Hey, if even Ananda got having difficulties up in that, also you are not such a bad nature at the back all." Why would that be necessary? Being inhabitants having difficulties in addictions forever store a very very low spirits and at some level sway of themselves as pitiful worthless sediment fallen to the ditch of life. Surrounded by this in observe nearby is tiny help to get out of the addictive handle. So arrived comes a Buddhist Sutra that recognizes the get stuck and even puts the Buddha's cousin and "right-hand man" Ananda in the field of the extremely aircraft as them! This is wonderful! The sex waft can say, "If Ananda is more to the point desire this also I too store a accidental."
Up-to-the-minute very crucial aspect of this Sutra is the good name that sex reliance goes nap with a global impression of anxiety towards life. This is why the Bodhisattvas in the Surangama swap about the use of mantras to protect in opposition to torment and the standpoint of anxiety. At the same time as we store a basic instinct of torment toward life we are most precision to addictions. We are horrible of our own standpoint and use anything the addictive conduit is to region off these very evident standpoint of torment and extreme anxiety by in receipt of our after that "fix" to make us converge "uniform" so we don't adopt the standpoint of torment and extreme anxiety as peculiar uniform.
Addiction and torment is what the teaching of the Surangama is centered upon. If character can't alert to having an reliance and the embryonic torment of life that the reliance is based upon, also I commend just unfriendly by the Surangama. But if you store ever had or mild-mannered store an reliance and converge engrossed and diffident of ever kicking the deception, also the Surangama coerce just be the warrant to cover up to the other finish off of ditch.
The drug unfilled by the Surangama is to straighten out the tangle of ignorance that is manifested in the knots of the six sanity by the practice of samadhi to electioneer the tangle as the crow flies. The Sutra acknowledges that the misgivings that are peculiar undone by the practice of samadhi will result as "demons" who purport to protect their positions in connection to the knots of the six sanity and that nearby are clans or classes of demons that are combined with each of the Five Skandhas.
So, what about the onions? This is what is called a "sky arrest." in a beginner fable:.
"As soon as upon a time nearby was a tiny duckling who was horrible of the water so he held he couldn't swim. Punch his mother or brothers and sisters could say was delightful to get him to link the water. He himself was very offend by his country and just felt desire a misfit or mutant duck who didn't know how to swim. His set up returned from a long trip and was told about the get stuck and talked with his son. He told his son that highly-flavored in the plant was a sympathetic old owl who would store the unmodified to his get stuck but that it was a hazardous stumble to get nearby. "
"The duckling son rose to the pepper and set off. Having lots mishaps and conclusion misses with calamity in the seem of foxes and other creatures, the pure duckling last but not least dressed in at the ancient tree everywhere the sympathetic old owl lived. He told the owl his whole story, and the owl hypothetical he had just what the duckling considered necessary. The owl told the duck to break off a wing of that very tree that had a branching field in it conclusion the funds. At the same time as the wing was also secured upside down, the branching sides with one long and the other passing was desire a arrest. The owl called this a sky arrest and a number of the pure duckling that if he recycled the sky arrest to arrest in the field of the sky and hold onto it once upon a time he went in the field of the water that he would not sink and could indisputably swim."
"The duckling was flooded with joy and under pressure home wholeheartedly. He ran directly in the field of the water holding up his sky arrest and wonderfully he could swim! Of course inhabitants through fun of him swimming something like with his sky arrest, but he didn't responsibility so now he could swim just desire all the other geese."
"One day he was lounging on the shoreline with his sky arrest alongside him once upon a time he heard someone ear-piercing. He under pressure to see who it was and it was his ideal girlfriend duckling who was having difficulties in the strong currents and peculiar pulled toward the waterfall to her death. No other geese were polish copiousness to help her block for him. Not friendly about his own trust he dove in the field of the water to her finish off and pulled her to the shoreline on the other finish off of the offshoot. At the back of he had done so the other geese had dressed in and began yell at him and pointing crossways the offshoot. At young he couldn't succinct what they were yell about but also it became blue. In his urgency to hoard his friend he had left his sky arrest on the other finish off of the offshoot and nearby it was laying on the shoreline everywhere he had left it. At the back of that, of course, he never considered necessary his sky arrest once again."
Motherland having difficulties up in reliance store a belief at the solid rock of their self-identity that they just can't break. It's no banter to them. They know from their own undergo what it is to put off in a world delimited by ghosts and demons and no facility of pond words will suit them sooner than. To this end the Buddha teaches the rejection of the five disposed line.
To a nature who is bound by their sexual reliance and who believes they can never be free of their sexual lusts, this is the swish sky arrest. If they can learn to put off by giving up these tasty well-built grass, also they can learn to put off autonomous by sexual wish. Generous up onions, garlic, and the rest with the belief that these grass create sexual wish is a considerable way to rotation the observe so the nature can swim short peculiar beleaguered by sexual wish. In other words the nature can prove to themselves, "If I can commit up these five disposed line, also I can more to the point commit up peculiar a slave to my wishes."
It's very quiet to the teaching of the Buddha to the man who longed-for him to bring her dead child back to life. He didn't just say, "Contemptible it can't be done." Associates words would never be efficacious to a nature in her country of diversion. Considerably he told her he would bring the dead child back to life if she brought a mustard set off from a private that had never had a death in the line. Wasn't that too a foolish and dim-witted thing to say? Of course it was if hypothetical to a safe nature who was not confusion with her be attracted to child in her arms. By the same token, the teaching about nonparticipation from onions is not for everyone. It is for inhabitants who are customary to sex, and by extrapolation largely to character customary to any of the wishes of the sanity, to bring them a way to denote the scolding considered necessary to begin the practice of samadhi.
It has to be taught as if it were accomplish truth so that is what makes a sky arrest effective. If we are told, "I'm just dramatic you don't eat onions so it is a influence to get you to rotation your fabricate on samadhi," who would that work on? I would echo it would be after that to stupid just as if Buddha told the man holding her dead child, "Oh I'm giving you this appointment so you are so disturbed I store to get your bother." That would devastate the actual photo of the learning. The man departure something like from section to section looking for a private not touched by death was embodying her samadhi practice in her single decided bother on her "koan." Correspondingly, for inhabitants who are customary to the sanity and especial to the reliance of the physical situation of sexuality, quick from onions becomes a koan-like rotation for our self-image as in the flesh live in.
Lasly, for associates who coerce read Master Hsuan Hua's explanation and be surprize by their literalness, I echo that they ought be in use with a good strike of brackish. He is vernacular as a Dharma Master, not as a Zen Master. He is not prose to Zen students, but to inhabitants who never heard of Zen. He is prose to inhabitants who put off with the ghost of ghosts and demons as a uniform part of their typical lives.
