Terence McKenna


Ma natuke kahetsen, et olen siiani kuidagi ei-tea-mis-ime-kombel suutnud siia sisse kandmata jätta sellise legendi, nagu seda on Terence McKenna. Psühhedeeliat ja narkootilisi aineid käsitlevat kirjandust taga ajades on esimene must-read ja piibel Terence McKenna "Jumalate Toit", mis mulle kunagi justkui iseenesest raamatupoes sülle kukkus. Evolutsiooni ma päris psühhedeelikutega põhjendama ei hakkaks, aga mingit katalüsaatorrolli need ajaloos kindlasti mängivad.

  • siit peaks leidma hunniku audiomaterjale analoogsetel teemadel, all on ka Terence McKenna.

  • Terence McKenna myspace videosource

  • Terence Mckenna - "Seeking The Stone" otsige google videost, millegi pärast ta ei lase mul siia kopeerida linki, täispikk video on tund ja nelikümmend kolm minutit pikk ja päris huvitav.

  • "Alien Dreamtime" on samuti päris psühho, otsige samuti google videost, lühem ja visuaalsem, mussi ja värgiga oli isegi vist.

Eestikeelseid põhilisi raamatuid psühhedeelikutest:



  • Terence McKenna "Jumalate Toit"

  • Jim DeKorne "Psühhedeeliline Shamanism"

  • Sinikka Piippo ja Ulla Salo "Meelte ja Tunnete Taimed" (rohkem entsüklopeedialaadne)

  • Timothy Leary "Ekstaasipoliitika" (seda ma pole küll veel lugenud)

Praegu kõik, mis parasjagu meelde tuli, kui midagi meenub, lisan, kui teil on kuidagi mu postitust täiendada, siis palun tehke seda :)

Papaji (H. W. L. Poonja)


OM

Knowledge and practice. Jnana and austerities.



OM. OM. OM.

Let There be Peace

Among All Beings of the Universe.

Let There be Peace.

Let There be Peace.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

Namaskar, Namaskar, Welcome.

Welcome to Satsang.



This question has often been asked for thousands of years. So in reply to one king, who had left his kingdom and become a hermit, one sage came near him and asked this question to help him: “Who are you?”
The king said, “I am a king. I left my kingdom, my queen, ministers.”
“What for?”
“For freedom.”
The king was living in a thatched hut, and instead of a royal robe he had opted to have a sack around him. This has got nothing to do with freedom.
And the sage said: “I will give you enlightenment or freedom here and now. Freedom can be attained here and now. There is no need of any tapas, penance, austerities, sadhanas, practices. Wisdom can be attained here and now. Even if you practice, you have a certain notion to attain something finally, and it is the notion, your notion, that will be fulfilled. It is your desire that will be fulfilled in the end. So when you have to entertain a notion to have something else, why don’t you entertain the notion for the first intent, to have knowledge, to be free?”
How, can this freedom be won? Close association with a saint is quite enough; you will resolve your doubts and your mind will be purified to receive. If your mind is not pure, even if God gives you instruction, you will not be able to get it. You have first to purify your mind. Your mind must be purified. Not in one janma, many janmas, you have to be born, reborn, and then the mind will be purified. So in the last janma, in the last incarnation, there will be the desire to be free and this is going to work. You will be asking, you will be wanting the company of a holy person. Somehow you will be led to him, you will be led to him, somehow you will reach him and stay with him. That is on your part, you have fulfilled your part. The rest depends upon your teacher.


***
The knowledge is supreme, and if you cannot assimilate it, you cannot get it, then you have to take up your austerities for a long time, not for one age, many incarnations you will have to take, you see, to fulfill your austerities and purify your mind and get ready to receive knowledge. As all rivers enter the ocean, so all the austerities, practices, will lead you to knowledge. That’s how it’s described in the sutras. So those who follow the knowledge or understand the freedom, its not for the first time that they have been successful, because we see some people who say, “We came here this morning and we have finished our job with you. We go back to our home.” It’s not for this. Some people take a week, and some a month. They don’t see their roots. So whatever time we are spending here, it will not go waste. Surely you will be rewarded by this thing. So best of all is going to be to remove your impediments, hindrances. Only you are going to remove your hindrances and not to achieve freedom-- freedom is already there. Freedom is already there.



***


Only you have to remove what stands between you and the freedom in front of you. Some veil is in front of you and that veil is ego. Ego. If you remove the ego by your own self, or someone who can do it, surrender to that person and he will do it. Only you have to remove this ego. When ego is gone, then the mind is gone and when the mind goes, you are placed in a state of no-mind, and this no-mind is very close to freedom, very close to freedom.


***

So this is what has been told and what has been done previously by all those people who got enlightened. No need of leaving the kingdoms and going to the forest now. Again and again we speak of this thing: only get rid of your impediments, and simply stay quiet, that’s all. With the very burning desire, like somebody who is burning, and will run to a well, or a river, or a stream, only for water. Someone who is burning must go to the water; he will not go anywhere else. Like this, if you have the burning desire, “I want to be free, in this life, before the end of this life”, this must be a longing always in your mind, then you will be successful. You will have won the game and you will be very happy always because freedom and happiness and bliss go together. All kinds of other pleasures that we seek fade away immediately with their contact itself. As soon as you contact any touch, any pleasure, it will bite like a serpent. Any pleasure, any rose that you pick, you will have a thorn underneath the rose. That’s how it is described by one Persian poet: when you pick up a rose you’ll have a thorn also near the rose. Like this, when you enjoy any sense pleasure it will bite you, you see. Therefore we have to search for very pure freedom, where there is no unhappiness. Otherwise in the world there is sometimes happiness, sometimes unhappiness. They go on alternating and this is called the world, and this is the experience of the ignorant ones. When there is unhappiness, they don’t like it; when there is happiness they like it. So in the case of wisdom, there will be only serenity. There will be no unhappiness, and no happiness either, you see. There will be total peace. Peace is something else. It has got nothing to do with pleasures and displeasures that belong to the contact of the senses. Bliss has got nothing to do with the senses or the mind or the intellect or even the personality, or the jiva or individual soul. This is a very transcendental, fourth state. Not waking, not dreaming, not sleeping. That fourth state is called Turiya in yoga terminology. This state is always available to everyone, you see.



***


You know that you sleep, you know that you dream, you know that this is the waking state, so when these states are projected in front of you, you must be somewhere other then these states, witnessing these states, you see. If we give thought to this, we are experiencing, we are seeing this is the waking state. We see it, we witness the waking state. Dream also. We had a dream last night: it means we had witnessed the dream. When we are in deep sleep, we enjoy the bliss of deep sleep. All these three sates we witness, projected in front of us. We do not question who has been witnessing all these three states, who must be out of these three states. Who is it, that was out of these three states and has projected these three states in front of him? So if he turns his head to this state he will be in the transcendental position and he is in the fourth state. So this is to reject the three states. This fourth state is called the fourth state because there is no name for it, yet it is connected with the three states, so it is called the fourth.



***



So to win complete, perfect freedom is yet beyond it, you see. That has no name. Witness these states, that I am not these three states. I am the enjoyer of all these three states, but I am not the three states. So staying here for a long time, you will find yourself that you are the absolute substratum. Absolute essence. And you will see that you have been before the creation of the creator itself. And that’s called peace, quietness, emptiness, from where everything rises like ripples, like waves, all silence you see. That is where we all will have to return -- not return, we are there. But we are otherwise engaged. Therefore we do not know who we are. Who we are in reality, who we had been -- due to some reason we forgot. So this is the matter. This satsang is association -- all of us belonging to the same thought, the same longing, is only for this, just to remind ourselves that we all are living in that peaceful, in that blissful, in that conscious, empty state, which cannot be described by anyone so far. None has ever reached there. None has ever described it.

Gangaji


This is for you.

With all of your experienced limitations, this is for you, simply because all of your experienced limitations are not who you truly are. Who you are is already on the other shore, already free, already the source of all wisdom, clarity, and beauty. Who you are is what all is, stillness itself.

Awakening does not mean that this particular form you inhabit should or will be a saint, or a great artist, or king of the world. It means you can know without a doubt that who you are is not limited to form. Who you are is what the world appears in, what the cosmos appears in, what space itself appears in.

There is a quickening on the Earth at this time. In this quickening is the invitation to realize where you are, who you are, who one is. If you are fully committed to that realization, there is nothing that can stop you. There is no obstacle.

My teacher, Papaji, said that the greatest obstacle, in fact the final obstacle, is the belief that there is an obstacle. Be very aware if you are clinging to this belief, and have the courage to let it go so that you can see for yourself. Then our meeting will not have been just a passing thing that happened one day. It will be the reunion of Self to Self, a reunion that is newer than the first union.

I am profoundly delighted with our meeting and the potential that is in this meeting. I know you as my own Self.

I love you as my own Self.

11:11 - a wake-up call you sent to yourself

liiga palju küsimusi oli juba ja siit ehk leiab mingeid vastuseid:


Millions of people have one thing in common; they keep seeing the numbers 11:11. These people come from all countries, all races, walks of life, and levels of awareness.
Even schoolchildren have a knowing that when they see 11:11, it's time to make a wish.
At first, it seems like a mere coincidence; then it becomes uncanny. "I started up my car at exactly 11:11." "Why do I always wake up at 11:11?"
Finally, it becomes undeniable: "All my clocks froze at 11:11."
Something very strange IS indeed happening.
In the book, "How to LIVE LARGE on a
Small Planet", Solara states: "Something IS happening and it's more real than any of us can imagine."
A Greater Reality is being inserted into our everyday lives. The earthworm finally looks up to the stars and is forever transformed. A merger is taking place between our vast cosmic Selves and our physical bodies. This transforms our DNA and allows us to finally become vibrantly alive and totally real.
The next time you see the 11:11, stop and feel the subtle energies around you. The 11:11 is a wake-up call you sent to yourself. A reminder of your true purpose here on Earth.
Usually during times of heightened energy or accelerated personal change you will notice the 11:11 more frequently.
Seeing the Master Numbers 11:11 is ALWAYS a confirmation that you are on the right track.




ise jõudsin nii kaugele:
The First Gate is entered as soon as we step inside the 11:11. We are leaving the old map and entering the mysterious uncharted realms of the Unknown. The air itself becomes an aqueous substance like water. These are the subtle currents of the Invisible.
The focus here is on the healing of our emotions. This requires a constant process of letting go, a continuous reevaluation of our old ways of feeling & loving. Many relationships are either restructured or dissolved while we travel through the First Gate. With this much needed healing of our individual hearts, we experience an activation of our One Heart.
The One Heart is the heart of all. It is the core of our new emotional body.This means that we share the same heart, a much vaster and truer heart than before. The One Heart is the heart which cannot be broken. There is no more "giving" or "receiving" of love. Love simply is, a constant recycling, coming and going and recirculating. As we let go of the experiences of the past, we learn to live our Love. ..
..aga nüüd loen edasi,
kui midagi veel leian, lisan siia,
kui teie leiate, või midagi analoogset meenub, lisage ka!
pai!

Taking over the 5 floors of the Behind the Shutters Gallery at Cordy House, Mutate Britain is a multi-media media barrage from Mutant Waste. They’ve hit Glastonbury and Burning Man before, and this newest installation will remain on view for 5 weeks. Look for painting, sculpture, performance and more.
