Cyclic Awakening.

"The penetrating brilliance of swords
Wielded by followers of the Way
Strikes at the evil enemy
Lurking deep within
Their own souls and bodies."
- Morihei Ueshiba

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." - Gautama Siddhartha (the Buddha)

********************
"From Ignorance spring Conformations, from Conformations springs Consciousness, from Consciousness spring Mind and Material Form, from Mind and Material Form, the six Organs of Sense, from the six Organs of Sense, Contact, from Contact, Sensations, from Sensations, Desire, from Desire, Attachment, from Attachment, Being, from Being, Birth, from Birth spring Decay, Death, Sorrow, Lamentation, Pain, Grief and Despair. Thus the whole mass of suffering originates"

"By the destruction of Ignorance, Conformations are destroyed, by the destruction of Conformations, Consciousness is destroyed, by the destruction of Consciousness, Mind and Material Form are destroyed, by the destruction of Mind and Material Form, the six Organs of Sense are destroyed, by the destruction of the six Organs of Sense, Contact is destroyed, by the destruction of Contact, Sensations are destroyed, by the destruction of Sensations, Desire is destroyed, by the destruction of Desire, Attachment is destroyed, by the destruction of Attachment, Being is destroyed, by the destruction of Being, Birth is destroyed, and by the destruction of Birth, Decay, Death, Sorrow, Lamentation, Pain, Grief and Despair are destroyed. Thus the whole mass of suffering is brought to an end."

- Siddhartha Gautama

"You alone are Brahma and Vishnu,
you are the terrifying Mahakala.
Before your feet
fall heaven, earth, and hell."

- Hindi Doha, S.N. Goenka

********************

"The body is like a ball of foam,
sensations are like bubbles,
perception is like a mirage,
sankharas like a pithy tree,
and consciousness like a magic trick."

- Samyutta Nikaya, III, 142


********************

"Vigilance is the path to immortality;
non-vigilance is the path to death;
the vigilant do not die;
the non-vigilant, though alive,
are like unto the dead.

Knowing this outstanding feature of vigilance, the wise delight in vigilance, rejoicing in the ways of the Noble Ones (ariyas).

Those wise ones, contemplative, ever-striving sages of great prowess, realize nibbana, the incomparable
bliss of yoga (union)."

- Dhammapada, II, (21, 22, 23)


********************

"Were a man for a hundred years to tend the sacrificial fire in the forest, and were he to pay homage even for moment to one who is self-governed, that homage is superior to the fire-sacrifice of a hundred years."

- Dhammapada, VIII, (107)

********************

Love, to all energetic beings existing in transition on this third dimensional holographic illusion.

I appear to be a human being, but I feel to be a Spiritual, energetic, vibratory frequency transmitting thought forms into conscious material patterns coalescing on this planet, in this body, acting through the flesh vessel "I" call "Me".

You might know of me as one of your various mental projections (i.e. "personalities"), as I can be, and am, any and every single other human being on this planet, as well as all manner of conscious life forms (animal, vegetable, mineral). We all exist in the same organism called "God", in which we are a co-creator, just as our cells are co-creators of our physical bodies.

With Metta (selfless Love) =]
