Applying the Teaching: Matrix Learning

If you’re having difficulties applying this Esoteric Teaching, it’s most likely because of misunderstood terminology. We have collected the most powerful and advanced study technology in the Matrix Learning series. Another typical problem area is Integrity. A sappurisā, according to the Buddha is a man of integrity, literally a lover of eternal truth. Ordinary morality, ethics, legality and similar value systems are external virtues—easily discarded when times are tough. Real integrity is intern...

Secret Heaven: Our Innovation

Secret Heaven’s innovation is that we teach the whole Path, from sex to superconsciousness. Most spiritual teachings focus on one chakra or method, ignoring the rest and creating sectarian barriers against them. Thus they cheat their followers.

Qigong Three Treasures: Jing

The Chinese word Jing means a number of things depending on where, when, and how it is used. Jing can be used as a verb, an adjective, or a noun. When used as a noun, Jing means “the essence” or “the essentials.” When it is used for the energy side of a being, it means “spirit.” Chinese people believe that the male sperm or semen is the refined and the most essential product of a man. So Jing also means sperm or semen. When Jing is used as “essence,” it exists in everything. Jing may be consider...

Qigong: Five Flavors of Qi

The ancient Chinese symbol for Qi is formed of two characters. On top is the character for “nothing” and below is the character for “fire”. This implies that Qi is “no fire.” That means that when the organs are supplied with the proper amount of Qi, they will not be overheated or “on fire”. A better interpretation is that by cooking the post-birth Qi with the fire of the original Qi, one realizes emptiness. We already discussed Qi in general terms. Now we will discuss the nature and function of ...

Qi & Qigong: Precise Definitions

General definition of Qi and Qigong: Qi is the conscious living energy or natural force that fills the universe. Qi can be generally defined as any type of energy which is able to demonstrate power and strength. Qi is also commonly used to express the energy state of something, especially living things. Since the term as used today refers to the cultivation of Human Qi through meditation and exercises, we will only use it in this narrower sense to avoid confusion. Each individual sentient being—...

Qi and Qigong

This series provides a general background for Qi (chi) and Qigong. The next series will cover Yi Jin and Xi Sui Qigong, which are translated as “Muscle/Tendon Changing” and “Marrow/Brain Washing Qigong.” Marrow/Brain Washing is deep, difficult to understand. It has been found in documents detailing both Buddhist and Daoist Qigong and meditation training, and it has been known in China since the Liang dynasty, more than 1400 years ago. However, since the training usually involves stimulation of t...

Secret Heaven: My Core Taste

My core taste developed due to karma and certain physically traumatic incidents during gestation. The emotional and semantic content of these incidents predisposed me to associate strong physical sensation with love and affection. At age 12 when I encountered movies of Indian yogis using bed of nails, I tried it for myself, leading to my first sexual experience. as a young man when I found the Navajo Quidoshka and Chinese Iron Shirt warrior traditions I connected extreme sensations with spiritua...

Secret Heaven: Core Erotic Taste

The purpose of the Tantrik methods in the Secret Heaven Noble Path is to open and strengthen the lower chakras. To attain enlightenment one must have access to one’s full energy, or in Taoist terminology, Original Chi. The DanTien must be fully charged and the sex center fully open, capable of high-energy orgasm. Then if one begins the next stage with full energy and enthusiasm, it will be very easy to accumulate enough good karma to merit Stream Entry at least. To attain full expression of the ...

Secret Heaven: Begin from Sex

To reach complete Self-realization we have to begin from sex. Sex energy is life energy, prana or chi. We need our complete energy available to attain complete Self-awareness. In most people these energy centers are partially closed, running at way less than their full potential. Ordinary dualistic moralism tries to repress and regulate sex, but all that does is push it underground, diminishing its natural beauty. That beauty and energy is the foundation for all our efforts in Self-realization. ...

Project Ambāl: Spontaneous Recognizance

We recognize, promote and emulate spiritual and other leaders on the strength of their adherence to external moral and social values such as religious doctrine. But what about those who become enlightened spontaneously? How do we recognize and show appreciation to them? They likely won’t accept any position or designation. That means we have to show up and be real with them.

Project Ambāl: Entheogenic Enlightenment

I recently was able to recall my original and authentic enlightenment experience in 1967 during an LSD trip. This has profound consequences for me. First, I must revise my views and recognize such experiences as valid. Second, I now realize that there are many—perhaps tens of thousands—of people like me. Many of them may still be in denial about the validity of their psychedelic enlightenment experiences. Therefore, I am spelling to leave India and become an advocate and counselor for people who...

Shorter Sutta on Emptiness 1: Wilderness

Cūḷa Suññata Sutta (MN 121) I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Sāvatthī in the Eastern Monastery, the palace of Migāraʼs mother. Then Ven. Ānanda, emerging from his seclusion in the evening, went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat to one side. As he was sitting there, he said to the Blessed One: “On one occasion, when the Blessed One was staying among the Sakyans in a Sakyan town named Nagaraka, there—face-to-face with the Bl...

Emptiness—the Gate

Emptiness is not the final state, but it is the gateway to Nibbāna. One attains the Three Deliverances—signless, desireless and voidness—upon arising from the attainment of Emptiness. This is Nibbāna.

Emptiness—the Goal

The ultimate goal of both Vedanta and Buddha’s teaching is emptiness. Some may say that oneness or union with Brahman is a kind of fullness. But actually in experience, it is emptiness. Who is there to say, “Oneness”? The Buddha’s teaching on empt Inness is much more accessible, because he makes no attempt to hide it. Indeed, his teaching is based on emptiness and timelessness from the beginning.

Vedānta & Dhamma: Four Views

Buddha’s teaching and Vedanta are different languages describing the same thing. So, one would expect them to have some similarities in structure. And so it’s not too surprising to find an exact ontological correlation between Buddha’s _paticca-samuppada,_ Dependent Arising, the Four Noble Truths, and Sankaracharya’s _catur-darshanam,_ the Four Views of progressive spiritual development.

Unity of Vedānta and Dhamma

Since the beginning of this channel we have discussed both Buddha’s teaching and its Vedic counterparts. Actually they are simply two different languages for talking about the higher stages of Self-realization. So far this topic of the equivalency of Vedanta and Dhamma has been implicit in our selection of topics, but I want to make it more explicit.

Dependent Arising 15: Conclusions

OK I get it, y’all don’t wanna hear about Dependent Arising anymore. Or maybe everybody’s just getting ready for summer vacation.

Insofar only is the range of wisdom, insofar only is the round of samsāra kept going for there to be a designation as the this-ness, that is to say: name-and-form together with consciousness.” — Mahā-Nidānasutta “And what, bhikkhus, is name-&-form? ...
