I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar
With angels blest; but even from angelhood
I must pass on: all except God doth perish.
When I have sacrificed my angel-soul,
I shall become what no mind e'er conceived.
Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence
Proclaims in organ tones, 'To Him we shall return.'

AN EXPONENT OF SILENCE

Do you have an example of when you successfully manifested what you wanted?

Everyone gets EXACTLY what they want 100% of the time.
If the ego denies this, derisive laughter is an acceptable response.

Sorry, but compared to the glory of ones moment by moment manifestations, “egoic wishing” and getting a “maybe it happened” response is pitifully impractical when it comes to garnering fulfillment.

This is about recognizing the divine gifts that are constantly being given to one. Not mere gifts but “Russian Nesting Dolls” gifts within gifts within gifts. Every moment of consciousness, if inspected, reveals layer after layer of ever more subtly detailed indices of God’s purport.

You want more? At the “All The Reality You Can Eat” restaurant, you can’t handle the more. You can’t loosen your belt that much.

I’m not being poetic. This isn’t mood making hyperbole. Every instant of living is infinity afoot, and all of it is accessible. Every mind produces thoughts that are but the mere executive summaries of the full reports available. Tips of icebergs each and all.

Your each thought is a tip of the entirety.

It goes like this.
Awareness manifests God Who imagines perfection.
Your thoughts are part of that perfection.
If you examine this “truth distribution system,” you will validate its wisdom.

Meditate and gradually learn how to settle the mind down such that its subtle foundation is appreciated. As one gets quieter, one begins to realize that one profoundly agrees with what is. The more deeply life is grasped as each new doll is discovered, the more life is found to be, as if, ONES OWN DOING. Life can be found to be perfect — to be so well-tuned that you suspect that only you could have known you well enough to know to give it to yourself. But it’s better than that, because God saved you all the work of shopping and wrapping. Each thought is a gift from God Who firstly asked, “What next can I give to this person to whom I want to give everything?” God’s polite. Doesn’t want to overwhelm. So God decides which gift is next.

You’ve done this — you’ve said to a friend, “Here’s two gifts. Open this one first, then the other one.” Suchly does God love to order your thoughts to maximize your delight!

But but but, there’s the ego buying a lottery ticket. “Just let me win, and then I’ll show you what I want then oh boy yes will I!” That’s like stomping through a vast field of flowers to get to the florist to buy a dandelion. Imagine God’s patience with humans.

We are cautioned:
“Only contentment can make you happy -- desires fulfilled breed more desires. Keeping away from all desires and contentment in what comes by itself is a very fruitful state -- a precondition to the state of fullness. Don't distrust its apparent sterility and emptiness. Believe me, it is the satisfaction of desires that breeds misery. Freedom from desires is bliss.” Nisargadatta

Long long ago, I asked this guy, “Can you give me an example of psychokinesis?”
He used his hand and arm to pick up a glass of water.
Like that everything can be seen as having a divine origin.
Awareness = God = Perfection manifested orderly = glass lifted.
It’s always psychokinesis down to the tiniest doll.

But wait, toss all the above. Let’s give the ego what it wants.
If you really want to get wishes granted, there’s a trick.
Just whisper.
We don’t yell at God if we want a gift. That’d be rude, eh?
So we get quiet. As quiet as we can by sitting eyes closed for a few minutes. The superficial fades. In the quietness, make your wish. And done. If the new Bugatti doesn’t appear in your driveway with a big red bow on it, look for a “yellow brick thought” appearing in your mind. The road to the Bugatti will begin there.

The deeper your mind’s silence, the shorter the road.
The deepest mind gets the Bugatti instantly.

The kicker:
If you meditate regularly, all roads to anywhere shorten.

The obvious advice:
Wish for God and find that a Bugatti has the value of a Matchbox car.

“Covid-19 won’t end with a bang or a parade,” wrote Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh. “Throughout history, pandemics have ended when the disease ceases to dominate daily life and retreats into the background like other health challenges.”

A tulku is a being who typically through compassiom decides on their own to remain in this world. They decide to voluntarily reincarnate so they can help other beings.

Over successive lives, they become more and more spiritually perfected. Sometimes this manifests as an old and humble monk named Tenzin. Sometimes this manifests as a spiritual leader who shirks his duties, sleeps with all the women, gets money, and at the end of his short life, remembers his former lives, slaps his forehead and resolves not to pull that crap again.

Of course in the above I speak of the 14th (incarnation) Dalai Lama. He is the most famous Tulku.

They usually have experience with the void and with other different states like the Bardo. Some, like Mingyur, Rinpoche (assuming he is a tulku) have been Devas in former lives and are now here.

They're similar to the bodhisattvas except the bodhisattvas do this for much longer, almost more cosmic period of time. Tulkus are always Bodhisattvas but Bodhisattvas are not always Tulkus.

As far as if you were asking if they are real, that would be equivalent to asking me if Bodhisattvas a real. If that is your question I would simply point at the Buddha. Clearly yes.

Only if you reject the Buddha's Enlightenment or the truthful doctrine of reincarnation could you not like Tulkus.

Typically this is done over many lifetimes, over many ages, extending into cosmic periods of time.

• Humans have evolved to deal with threats via short-term thinking and to compete for status with showy resources. Saving requires long-term thinking that runs counter to these deep-rooted tendencies.

B NEXT STEP

some clarity on how your progress may naturally unfold:

'The gradual training begins with the practice of generosity, which helps begin the long process of weakening the unawakened practitioner's habitual tendencies to cling — to views, to sensuality, and to unskillful modes of thought and behavior. This is followed by the development of virtue, the basic level of sense-restraint that helps the practitioner develop a healthy and trustworthy sense of self. The peace of mind born from this level of self-respect provides the foundation for all further progress along the path. The practitioner now understands that some kinds of happiness are deeper and more dependable than anything that sense-gratification can ever provide; the happiness born of generosity and virtue can even lead to rebirth in heaven — either literal or metaphorical. But eventually the practitioner begins to recognize the intrinsic drawbacks of even this kind of happiness: as good as rebirth in wholesome states may be, the happiness it brings is not a true and lasting one, for it relies on conditions over which he or she ultimately has no control. This marks a crucial turning point in the training, when the practitioner begins to grasp that true happiness will never be found in the realm of the physical and sensual world. The only possible route to an unconditioned happiness lies in renunciation, in turning away from the sensual realm, by trading the familiar, lower forms of happiness for something far more rewarding and noble. Now, at last, the practitioner is ripe to receive the teachings on the Four Noble Truths, which spell out the course of mental training required to realize the highest happiness: nibbana.'

As the vastness of the ocean cannot be contained in a small cup, so it is impossible to receive infinite wisdom in the finite cup of human intelligence.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

To attain higher state of consciousness and divine perception, it is necessary through meditation to withdraw the mind from its continual restless activity. In the interiorized state, spritual sensitivity, or intuition, awaken. Intuition is that power of Spirit inherited by the soul by which truth is perceived directly, without the medium of any other faculty. As the vastness of the ocean cannot be contained in small cup, so it is impossible to receive infinite wisdom in the finite cup of human intelligence. Man's consciousness must be expanded if it is to hold the illimitable ocen of truth.

HE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA

(By Swami Yatiswarananda)

Published by: Vedanta Study Circle Athens, Greece 1994

Volume 1,

Part 1 : INNER AND OUTER SOLITUDE :

CALLOUSNESS IS NOT NON-ATTACHMENT

71. You should be non-attached, but you should not become callous to the suffering and misery of others, naturally. Callousness is not non-attachment, but selfishness, clinging to one’s own dear ego. Try to render help only to the extent in which you already have the power. Otherwise pray to your Ishtam for those who need assistance and ask Him to come to their help. If you do this sincerely and intensely, He will do what is best for them. You see, you cannot help others efficiently if you cannot help yourselves. If a boat capsizes and you and your companions fall into the river, you may be able to save one of them, but not ten. If you try to save them all, all will be drowned, including yourself.

HOW TO DEAL WITH THE POISON OF THE WORLD

72. So, gauge your own strength first, dispassionately, using all your discrimination. Then try to help others if the opportunity arises. Even with your vibrations, with your will-power you can do something for them, to the extent in which these are in tune with the Will of the Divine, or of the Ishtam.

73. Shiva drank the poison so that the whole world might be saved. But one must first have the capacity to assimilate the poison without being poisoned oneself. One must first attain to Shiva’s tremendous purity and non-attachment. Better begin with small doses! To the extent in which your own system becomes pure and immune, greater and greater doses of poison can be assimilated without danger. The more you feel for others, the more you wish to help them, the more you should become non-attached and be drawn towards your Ishtam, towards the Lord, and the purer you should become. Pray to the Divine for yourself as well as for others and scold Him, tell Him, “Why are you so perverse? Why are you putting so many obstructions in our way? Why are you just blinding yourself? This is your creation. See your own light!”
