I believe in GOD,the Creator/Creatrix of all things visible and invisible.A Creator of all living beings in the multitude of planetary systems across this vast universe.
I believe in GOD the Creator who is not human or reptilian in image....but a Super Intelligent Universal Consciousness/Spirit/Energy/Force.My GOD is not the typical tribal or country 'God' with a human image of a crowned old king with long white beard and dressed in white robe....or a 'God' with blue skin color....or a 'God' with wings like a bird....or a 'God' with horns like a goat...or more recently a 'God' with green skin color with large eyes.
All these anthromorphic....human-like formed 'Gods' with supposedly 'chosen people' are simply humans or aliens with developed supernatural powers or advanced technology to perform miracles.The GOD I believe in is beyond our human conception.The GOD I believe in have unlimited powers and influence beyond our planet Earth and extend to all planetary systems on this vast universe.
The GOD I believe in is also the Ultimate GOD even to multitudes of alien life forms with their own unique cultures,traditions,science,technology and religion.Realize that extraterrestrial higher lifeforms had also their own tribal Gods...their own gods or goddesses and saviors just like here on planet Earth.

'Do you believe that Jesus was a of God? Yes,I believe that he's a of God....so are you,me and everybody.In the Bible ,we could read that there are 'sons of true God'...or 'sons of the living God' :
"Yet the number of the of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God" - (Hosea 1:10 )
"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" - (Genesis 3:22)
"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose "- (Genesis 6:2)
"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them" - (Job 1:6)
"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are of the most High"- Psalm 82:6
This words from Psalm 82:6 were quoted by Jesus ( He was indeed very knowledgeable about the Old Testament of the Bible) to defend himself when he was accused of blasphemy :
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the of God?
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand - (John 10:31-39)
After an extensive biblical research,we could also noticed that the termed 'sons of light' and 'sons of day' or ' of the light and of the day' (Thessalonians 5:5) are closely related to the termed 'sons of God'.In contrast to this termed are called "sons of the system of this things' or ' of this world'( Luke 16 : 8 ).

Theres nothing wrong with having a fellowship or socializing at a church,mosque,temple or a religious community.Being social is part of being a human.But we must all realize that what we're looking for...that is,the House/Church/Temple of God is within us.Searching for the Truth/Enlightenment/Salvation outside will get us nowhere.
That is why all sages,prophets,saints and spiritual masters taught us about performing meditation or prayer at the privacy of our own room or just being in a quiet,isolated place.
Jesus said:
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." ~ Matthew 6:5-8
'Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation,nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you' ~ Luke 17:20-21
Prophet Muhammad said:
"He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God."
Guru Nanak said:
"As fragrance abides in the flower. As reflection is within the mirror,so does your Lord abide within you, why search for him without?"
Lao- Tzu said:
'Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment."
"At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want."
Buddha said:
"The Summit of Reality can only be realized within oneself."
Upanishad:
"Self-knowledge is the best of all forms of knowledge; through it, one attains immortality."
Socrates,Phythagoras,Plato,Chilon of Sparta,Thales of Miletus,Solon of Athens and Delphi all said :
"Know Thyself"

The Secret Teachings Of Jesus : The Gospel Of Mary
|
Posted:Jul 24, 2010 6:01 pm
Last Updated:Aug 15, 2010 11:13 am 12955 Views
|
The Gospel of Mary is an apocryphal book discovered in 1896 in a fifth-century papyrus codex. The codex Papyrus Berolinensis 8502 was purchased in Cairo by German scholar Karl Reinhardt.In this gospel Jesus teaches that sin is not a problem of moral ignorance so much as a manifestation of imbalance of the soul.Jesus then encourages the disciples to spread his teachings and warns them against those who teach of spirituality as an external concept rather than as an internal, gnostic experience.
Mary, to whom this text is credited, then lifts the hearts of the disciples who have become despondent over Jesus departure. Peter and the other disciples acknowledge Mary's spiritual calibre and superiority and yet they challenge her when she describes her own gnostic experiences. This confrontation between Mary and Peter is well documented in many gnostic Scriptures.
Mary exposes the small mindedness and superficiality of Peter and Andrew who find it difficult to comprehend, let alone accept, the deeper spiritual understanding that Mary has acquired through her personal experience and closer relationship with Jesus. Indeed Peter and Andrew seem to prefer the very thing against which Jesus warned them - a religion based on arbitrary ideas (in this case represented by Peter's male chauvinism and Andrew's ignorance). And yet many of their ideas have shaped modern Christianity while, paradoxically, Mary Magdelene's spirituality, which here seems more consistent with the teachings of Jesus, is unheard of today.
Chapter 4
(Pages 1 to 6 of the manuscript, containing chapters 1 - 3, are lost. The extant text starts on page 7...)
. . . Will matter then be destroyed or not?
22) The Savior said, All nature, all formations, all creatures exist in and with one another, and they will be resolved again into their own roots.
23) For the nature of matter is resolved into the roots of its own nature alone.
24) He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
25) Peter said to him, Since you have explained everything to us, tell us this also: What is the sin of the world?
26) The Savior said There is no sin, but it is you who make sin when you do the things that are like the nature of adultery, which is called sin.
27) That is why the Good came into your midst, to the essence of every nature in order to restore it to its root.
28 ) Then He continued and said, That is why you become sick and die, for you are deprived of the one who can heal you.
29) He who has a mind to understand, let him understand.
30) Matter gave birth to a passion that has no equal, which proceeded from something contrary to nature. Then there arises a disturbance in its whole body.
31) That is why I said to you, Be of good courage, and if you are discouraged be encouraged in the presence of the different forms of nature.
32) He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
33) When the Blessed One had said this, He greeted them all,saying, Peace be with you. Receive my peace unto yourselves.
34) Beware that no one lead you astray saying Lo here or lo there! For the of Man is within you.
35) Follow after Him!
36) Those who seek Him will find Him.
37) Go then and preach the gospel of the Kingdom.
38 ) Do not lay down any rules beyond what I appointed you, and do not give a law like the lawgiver lest you be constrained by it.
39) When He said this He departed.
Chapter 5
1 But they were grieved. They wept greatly, saying, How shall we go to the Gentiles and preach the gospel of the Kingdom of the of Man? If they did not spare Him, how will they spare us?
2 ) Then Mary stood up, greeted them all, and said to her brethren, Do not weep and do not grieve nor be irresolute, for His grace will be entirely with you and will protect you.
3 ) But rather, let us praise His greatness, for He has prepared us and made us into Men.
4) When Mary said this, she turned their hearts to the Good, and they began to discuss the words of the Savior.
5) Peter said to Mary, Sister we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of woman.
6) Tell us the words of the Savior which you remember which you know, but we do not, nor have we heard them.
7) Mary answered and said, What is hidden from you I will proclaim to you.
8 ) And she began to speak to them these words: I, she said, I saw the Lord in a vision and I said to Him, Lord I saw you today in a vision. He answered and said to me,
9) Blessed are you that you did not waver at the sight of Me. For where the mind is there is the treasure.
10) I said to Him, Lord, how does he who sees the vision see it, through the soul or through the spirit?
11) The Savior answered and said, He does not see through the soul nor through the spirit, but the mind that is between the two that is what sees the vision and it is [...]
(pages 11 - 14 are missing from the manuscript)
Chapter 8:
. . . it.
10) And desire said, I did not see you descending, but now I see you ascending. Why do you lie since you belong to me?
11) The soul answered and said, I saw you. You did not see me nor recognize me. I served you as a garment and you did not know me.
12) When it said this, it (the soul) went away rejoicing greatly.
13) Again it came to the third power, which is called ignorance.
14) The power questioned the soul, saying, Where are you going? In wickedness are you bound. But you are bound; do not judge!
15) And the soul said, Why do you judge me, although I have not judged?
16) I was bound, though I have not bound.
17) I was not recognized. But I have recognized that the All is being dissolved, both the earthly things and the heavenly.
18 ) When the soul had overcome the third power, it went upwards and saw the fourth power, which took seven forms.
19) The first form is darkness, the second desire, the third ignorance, the fourth is the excitement of death, the fifth is the kingdom of the flesh, the sixth is the foolish wisdom of flesh, the seventh is the wrathful wisdom. These are the seven powers of wrath.
20) They asked the soul, Whence do you come slayer of men, or where are you going, conqueror of space?
21) The soul answered and said, What binds me has been slain, and what turns me about has been overcome,
22) and my desire has been ended, and ignorance has died.
23) In a aeon I was released from a world, and in a Type from a type, and from the fetter of oblivion which is transient.
24) From this time on will I attain to the rest of the time, of the season, of the aeon, in silence.
Chapter 9
1 )When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her.
2 ) But Andrew answered and said to the brethren, Say what you wish to say about what she has said. I at least do not believe that the Savior said this. For certainly these teachings are strange ideas.
3 ) Peter answered and spoke concerning these same things.
4) He questioned them about the Savior: Did He really speak privately with a woman and not openly to us? Are we to turn about and all listen to her? Did He prefer her to us?
5) Then Mary wept and said to Peter, My brother Peter, what do you think? Do you think that I have thought this up myself in my heart, or that I am lying about the Savior?
6) Levi answered and said to Peter, Peter you have always been hot tempered.
7 ) Now I see you contending against the woman like the adversaries.
8 ) But if the Savior made her worthy, who are you indeed to reject her? Surely the Savior knows her very well.
9) That is why He loved her more than us. Rather let us be ashamed and put on the perfect Man, and separate as He commanded us and preach the gospel, not laying down any other rule or other law beyond what the Savior said.
10) And when they heard this they began to go forth to proclaim and to preach.

The Secret of Immortals,Achieved Beings,Sages and Naturalists
|
Posted:Jul 16, 2010 8:03 am
Last Updated:Jul 16, 2010 9:37 am 12239 Views

In ancient times (around 5,000 years ago in China) the Yellow Emperor, Huang Di, was known to have been a prodigy. As he grew he showed himself to be sincere, wise, honest, and compassionate. He became very learned and developed keen powers for observing nature. His people recognized him as a natural leader and chose him as their emperor.
During his reign, Huang Di discoursed on medicine, health, lifestyle, nutrition, and Taoist cosmology with his ministers Qi Bo, Lei Gong, and others. Their first discussion began with Huang Di inquiring, “I’ve heard that in the days of old everyone lived one hundred years without showing the usual signs of aging. In our time, however, people age prematurely, living only fifty years. Is this due to a change in the environment, or is it because people have lost the correct way of life?”
Qi Bo replied, “In the past, people practiced the Tao, the Way of Life. They understood the principle of balance, of yin and yang, as represented by the transformation of the energies of the universe. Thus, they formulated practices such as Dao-in, an exercise combining stretching, massaging, and breathing to promote energy flow, and meditation to help maintain and harmonize themselves with the universe. They ate a balanced diet at regular times, arose and retired at regular hours, avoided overstressing their bodies and minds, and refrained from overindulgence of all kinds. They maintained well-being of body and mind; thus, it is not surprising that they lived over one hundred years.
“These days, people have changed their way of life. They drink wine as though it were water, indulge excessively in destructive activities, drain their jing—the body’s essence that is stored in the kidneys—and deplete their qi. They do not know the secret of conserving their energy and vitality. Seeking emotional excitement and momentary pleasures, people disregard the natural rhythm and order of the universe. They fail to regulate their lifestyle and diet, and sleep improperly. So it is not surprising that they look old at fifty and die soon after. “The accomplished ones of ancient times advised people to guard themselves against zei fen”, disease-causing factors. On the mental level, one should remain calm and avoid excessive desires and fantasies, recognizing and maintaining the natural purity and clarity of the mind. When internal energies are able to circulate smoothly and freely, and the energy of the mind is not scattered, but is focused and concentrated, illness and disease can be avoided.
“Previously, people led a calm and honest existence, detached from undue desire and ambition; they lived with an untainted conscience and without fear. They were active, but never depleted themselves. Because they lived simply, these individuals knew contentment, as reflected in their diet of basic but nourishing foods and attire that was appropriate to the season but never luxurious. Since they were happy with their position in life, they did not feel jealousy or greed. They had compassion for others and were helpful and honest, free from destructive habits. They remained unshakable and unswayed by temptations, and they were able to stay centered even when adversity arose. They treated others justly, regardless of their level of intelligence or social position.”
Huang Di asked, “When one grows old, one cannot bear . Is this due to heredity or to the loss of one’s procreative energy?”
Qi Bo answered, “In general, the reproductive physiology of woman is such that at seven years of age her kidney energy becomes full, her permanent teeth come in, and her hair grows long. At fourteen years the tian kui, or fertility essence, matures, the ren/conception and chong/vital channels responsible for conception open, menstruation begins, and conception is possible. At twenty-one years the kidney energy is strong and healthy, the wisdom teeth appear, and the body is vital and flourishing. At twenty-eight years the bones and tendons are well developed and the hair and secondary sex characteristics are complete. This is the height of female development. At thirty-five years the yangming/stomach and large intestine channels that govern the major facial muscles begin to deplete, the muscles begin to atrophy, facial wrinkles appear, and the hair begins to thin. At forty-two all three yang channels—taiyang, shaoyang, and yangming— are exhausted, the entire face is wrinkled, and the hair begins to turn gray. At forty-nine years the ren and chong channels are completely empty, and the tien kui has dried up. Hence, the flow of the menses ceases and the woman is no longer able to conceive.
“In the male, at eight years of age the kidney energy becomes full, the permanent teeth appear, and the hair becomes long. At sixteen years of age the kidney energy is ample, the tien kui is mature, and the jing is ripe, so procreation is possible. At twenty-four years the kidney qi is abundant, the bones and tendons grow strong, and the wisdom teeth come in. At the thirty-second year the body is at the peak of strength, and functions of the male are at their height. By forty the kidney qi begins to wane, teeth become loose, and the hair starts to fall. At forty-eight the yang energy of the head begins to deplete, the face becomes sallow, the hair grays, and the teeth deteriorate. By fifty-six years the liver energy weakens, causing the tendons to stiffen. At sixty-four the tian kui dries up and the jing is drained, resulting in kidney exhaustion, fatigue, and weakness. When the energy of all the organs is full, the excess energy stored in the kidney is excreted for the purpose of conception. But now, the organs have aged and their energies have become depleted, the bones and tendons have become frail and stiff, and movements are hampered. The kidney reservoir becomes empty, marking the end of the power of conception.”
Huang Di remarked, “I notice, however, that some people, even though they are quite elderly, can still conceive.”
Qi Bo replied, “This is because these individuals inherited an unusual abundance of jing and also realized how to lead their lives properly and protect their vitality. At sixty-four and forty-nine, for males and females respectively, these individuals still have excess kidney energy as well as qi and blood, so they still have the capacity to procreate. However, men past the age of sixty-four and women past forty-nine have normally lost this ability.”
Huang Di asked, “If a wise one who follows the Tao is over one hundred years of age, can he or she still retain the ability to procreate?”
Qi Bo answered, “Yes, it is possible. If one knows how to live a correct way of life, conserve one’s energy, and follow the Tao, yes, it is possible. One could procreate at the age of one hundred years.”
Huang Di inquired, “I’ve heard of people in ancient times, spoken of as the immortals, who knew the secrets of the universe and held yin and yang, the world, in the palms of their hands. They extracted essence from nature and practiced various disciplines such as Dao-in and Qi Gong, and breathing and visualization exercises, to integrate the body, mind, and spirit. They remained undisturbed and thus attained extraordinary levels of accomplishment. Can you tell me about them?”
Qi Bo responded, “The immortals kept their mental energies focused and refined, and harmonized their bodies with the environment. Thus, they did not show conventional signs of aging and were able to live beyond biological limitations.
“Not so long ago there were people known as achieved beings who had true virtue, understood the way of life, and were able to adapt to and harmonize with the universe and the seasons. They too were able to keep their mental energy through proper concentration.
“These achieved beings did not live like ordinary humans, who tended to abuse themselves. They were able to travel freely to different times and places since they were not governed by conventional views of time and space. Their sense perceptions were supernormal, going far beyond the sight and hearing of ordinary humans. They were also able to preserve their life spans and live in full health, much as the immortals did.
“There was a third type of person, known as the sage. The sages lived peacefully under heaven on earth, following the rhythms of the planet and the universe. They adapted to society without being swayed by cultural trends. They were free from emotional extremes and lived a balanced, contented existence. Their outward appearance, behavior, and thinking did not reflect the conflicting norms of society. The sages appeared busy but were never depleted. internally they did not overburden themselves. They abided in calmness, recognizing the empty nature of phenomenological existence. The sages lived over one hundred years because they did not scatter and disperse their energies.
“A fourth type were natural people who followed the Tao and were called naturalists. They lived in accordance with the rhythmic patterns of the seasons: heaven and earth, moon, sun, and stars. They aspired to follow the ways of ancient times, choosing not to lead excessive lifestyles. They, too, lived plainly and enjoyed long life.”

Enlightenment In The Modern World

Last Updated:Jun 24, 2010 4:28 pm 12292 Views

An enlightened blissful life doesn't mean you will live like a hermit,monk or a master up on the mountain,forrest or island.That is a choice.You can still be blissfully enlightened even living and working in a crowded city,whether you are single or married.
We don't need to wear a distinctive clothing or uniform to appear to other people as holy man,saint or spiritual master.The important thing is that you know that you are spiritual enlightened by your own effort of spiritual practice (meditation/prayer).You know that you are undergoing a spiritual evolution...your consciousness are getting higher and expanding....more refined....more clearer...more penetrating than ever before.
You know too that the people around you,whether they are your family,relatives,classmates,friends or co-employees didn't know about your inner life....that they didn't know the subtle realities you are experiencing within yourself.After your spiritual awakening,you gradually learned to integrate your spiritual experience in your ordinary daily life.But you are aware that people will not accept you readily if you try to share it with them prematurely.You know that most people think that you're crazy or insane or worse demon-possessed.
This is why many who got "awake" are usually retreated to isolated..inaccessible places because of the inability of the people around them to understand about what they're going through,that is the spiritual rebirth or evolution.A few who are "awake" but still choose to remain in the crowded city are force to lead a double life (material/ordinary life and spiritual/inner life).They are obliged to speak not about their spiritual experience,except to those who are open-minded and willing to learn the ancient universal wisdom which were originally taught by all the ancient sages,prophets,saints and spiritual masters of the past.
Some of those "awakened ones" are teaching their discoveries through their symbolic arts or writings.Some conveyed the timeless Truth orally through their few selected friends,relatives or companions which become their followers or disciples.People should understand that those they worship or venerated...those ancient religious/spiritual founders called prophets or enlightened ones or gods/goddesses are people like them who are transformed....upgraded...made new in all aspects of their being by the subtle transformative process of liberated bioenergetic/spiritual force within them since childhood or later on their life brought about by their persistent spiritual practice of meditation or prayer.
Enlightened happy life is accessible to everyone at anytime whether you are a shepherd...a prince...a carpenter...a librarian...a taxi driver....a street vendor....a doctor,etc.
May Peace,Bliss and Love be upon to everyone.
