Dero7 - Anatomy Of A New Age Con Artist [3]

We find warnings in Buddhist writings against the improper use of our psychic faculties. In one of the texts of the Pali Canon (Cullavagga, V, 8:1-2, Sacred Books of the East, 20:78-81) an incident is reported of a merchant of Rajagaha who acquired a block of sandalwood and had a beautiful wooden bowl made from it. He challenged anyone claiming to be possessed of iddhi, "power, craft, skill," (Pali form of the Sanskrit siddhi. These are of two kinds: the one "embraces the lower, coarse, psychic and mental energies; the other . . . exacts the highest training of Spiritual powers." -- H. P. Blavatsky, The Voice of the Silence, p. 73) to fetch it from the top of a very tall bamboo; if he succeeded the bowl would be his. Several toyed with the idea, but went no further. Finally the venerable monk Bharadvaja came forward, and "rising up in the air, took the bowl, and went thrice" around Rajagaha. The villagers were ecstatic and began shouting and running after him. On learning the cause of this raucous behavior, the Buddha called the monks together. When Bharadvaja stated that he had indeed retrieved the bowl by the use of iddhi, the Buddha said to him and the assembled monks:

This is improper, Bharadvaja, not according to rule, unsuitable, unworthy of a Samana [recluse], unbecoming, and ought not to be done. How can you, Bharadvaja, for the sake of a miserable wooden pot, display before the laity the superhuman quality of your miraculous power of Iddhi? -- Ibid., p. 80
After this rebuke the Buddha discoursed on spiritual themes, and then stated to the assembled monks:

You are not, O Bhikkhus, to display before the laity the superhuman power of Iddhi. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata [an offense]. Break to pieces, O Bhikkhus, that wooden bowl; and when you have ground it to powder, give it to the Bhikkhus as perfume for their eye ointments.-- Ibid., p. 81
Even if we faithfully adhere to the ancient proscription against improper use of paranormal powers, when the paramitas ("transcendental virtues" -- see ch. 13) are practiced with diligence over an extended period, profound inner changes do occur both in character and within the constitution. The individual may discover, especially in the practice of dhyana, "meditation, concentration," that certain of the iddhis are activated. This is not out of line provided one maintains silence, inner balance, purity of motive, and vigilance against psychic vanity.

All of this HPB made amply clear in the Preliminary Memorandum and Rules she sent to applicants who sought to join the newly formed Esoteric Section (1888):

the student -- save in exceptional cases -- will not be taught how to produce physical phenomena, nor will any magical powers be allowed to develop in him; nor, if possessing such powers naturally, will he be permitted to exercise them before he has thoroughly mastered the knowledge of SELF, . . . until he has in abeyance all his lower passions and his PERSONAL SELF . . .

9. No member shall pretend to the possession of psychic powers that he has not, nor boast of those which he may have developed. Envy, jealousy, and vanity are insidious and powerful foes to progress, and it is known from long experience that, among beginners especially, the boasting of, or calling attention to, their psychic powers almost invariably causes the development of these faults and increases them when present. Hence --

10. No member shall tell to another, especially to a fellow member, how much he has progressed or what recognition he has received, nor shall he by hints cause such to be known. -- E.S. Instructions III:4-5, pp. 21-2; reprinted in H. P. Blavatsky, Collected Writings 12:488, 495

PS, a few months ago I watched a few of your chant videos and saw you were digging into ancient texts with long traditions, but I just visited your website and am curious to know how you distinguish things like Sun DNA Activation, hypercubes, or Fractalized Geometric Architecture, etc from spiritual materialism. The focus of the site appears to be more about personal ascension than service to God. Not to say it's wrong, but it's pretty hypocritical.

@lukeorb My Alchemymeditations website? Well.. I appreciate your comment and your logic is on point..Wouldn't you say that my seeking to go out and serve people's spiritual growth through the site is serving God? Some people are not ready or willing to take up the pure devotional path.. there is places in the higher planets for these people also.. serving to help them rise out of the material influence so they can have a clear head and spirit will help them also eventually attain Bhakti.

dero7 sort of reminds me of Colleen Thomas. they are both on some new age talk of light workers, and star gates, etc.. but for all I know both could be suffering from schizophrenia.

[ShaktipatSeer2]

@blackberries69 She is a lot like Colleen Thomas .. arrogant and self-assured in their schizophrenic self-worshiping rambling .. regurgitating youtube videos and doing it in a flashy way in order to garner innocent recruits to their narcissistic personality.. What they are talking about is nothing that you can't find all over youtube from more original sources like Bashar or Drunvalo, Dero7 and Colleen Thomas are 3rd rate hacks stealing the crumbs of the crumbs of real esoteric philosophy.

AHAHAHAHA! Dude, the white guy with them posters in the background and the yellow dot on his forehead going "All this new age stuff has gotta stop!" is one of the funniest goddamn things I've ever seen. And that bit about the couch! You two are playing the exact same game by the exact same rules. You're practically the same guy.

Take a step back. Lay all your personal egos down as much as you are capable. Now, Who is projecting negativity and judging ? Who is projecting lack in understanding of other beings choices in path ? Now, let this sink and continue with your OWN practice. No reason to use time in finding faults & shortcomings in other peoples practice, when you have a lot left to do in your own.

You have more wisdom and common sense than the mind control victims of Team Light.

Um perhaps more time spent in living the messages of love, instead of bagging each other out. We all believe in different things, in time all will be revealed. Focus on your own developement, each person resonates with different people. So perhaps take a chill pill on reality consciousness and keep yourself focused on your own journey and who your helping.

Interesting. Some one just showed me this crap. These guys are funny. I just found their marketing material and courses. LOL! Bunch of Calvin Klein fags.

[ytfjordan]

I asked Dero7 one time why he keeps looking up and talking to invisible fairies when he talks in his videos. He just laughed at me and said Namaste....

I'm thinking it's time for me to unsubscribe. Besides, NOTHING he says or does ever makes sense to me....I'm glad I watched this.

[exploitedteen]

Thank You my Friend you have woking me up from the lies

[ShaktipatSeer2]

@77NN777 Okay spaz-boy.. stop being a fucking drama queen.. sometimes love is prevalent, sometimes anger, sometimes sadness, if you try to comb over your emotions it just goes to show your a fake. I don't hide my feelings, everything is dovetailed in the absolute truth. So take your whiny fakeness elsewhere.
