Wouldn't It Be Funny?

 Wouldn't it be funny if I posted on this old Blog of mine?  Hello!  Pymander here.  It's been 2 and a half years.  There's some new things!  Pretty much summed up in this video:

What the Heck?

 What the Heck? A new post on this old blog? Why, yes! A little bit has happened since I wrote on here last, but I don't think I ever wrote on here about anything that had happened, so that's nothing new. A few projects, podcasts, books, and youtube channels, but I won't make this an ad. So what does that leave?  Nothing personal, nothing professional, perhaps nothing at all. I went to a place and saw a thing and it wasn't what I expected. I stopped expecting things and let it all flow, but sometimes I was grouchy because it was hot. For a while I abstained, and then I stopped, changed and changed back, but having changed. I received a call to act, did so, overcame something, then forgot the hero's journey formula, so I just kind of drifted for a while. Then, I let others drive, drove myself, drove based on where I thought they wanted to go while they suggested where they thought I wanted to go and we all ended up nowhere. I tried to be what others expected, then sl...

A monk named Joe

A monk named Joe (plagiarized/adapted from  Suryanangama  Sutra,  Yeshe   Tsogyal , and  Dogen ) So there I was, a monk named Joe.  I was sitting in Lotus Position on my  zafu , gazing at the wall.  I had been for some time.  One day, while meditating, I found myself in total darkness.  Then, I experienced it as an open expanse, and the darkness was gone, the whole thing turned to light.  I used my mind to intently investigate that light, and the light pervaded my body... My mind became clear, unveiled, bright, and penetrating, an internal light shone forth and turned everything into gold. All the various species of beings were transformed. I saw  Vairochana  Buddha seated upon a platform of celestial light, he was surrounded by a thousand  Buddhas , who simultaneously appeared upon lotus blossoms in a hundred million lands. I reached a state where I could see the earth, the mo...

Philokalia Aquarian

At 7pm today, I was asked to give an Aquarian name. I thought of Djin Aquarian, who gave me my name, "PymanderAquarian". I closed my eyes, connected with Frater Yod, held my hands together at my third eye, and vibrated "YOOOOD." And there it was: Episode 25 : Philokalia Aquarian [01:19:02]   October 28th, 2015 BT expounds upon Dr. Arthur W.

It means the love of the beauty found in sacred spaces, in the oneness of the priest, shrine, and divine. That sort of trance state in which the self is forgotten, lost in t...

Conversations with Andrew Da Passano: "Compassion"

Image
(There was some noise in the upstairs room, and Andrew began speaking before the tape was turned on. There are only a few words missing, possibly in regard to the distractions of this world.) ... rare in this place. Always take the habit of saying, "This is not me. I find myself in another dimension of serene peace. This is the world with its problems, its noise, its pain, its whatever - its worries," so that you detach yourself from it in an easier fashion. Let us open our work as usual with the mantrum Om. (opening mantras) We shall enter into our heart chakra by bringing up our energy as usual. Do not forget - or, preferably, permit me to remind you, that you all have heard of Kundalini power and of the different ways of lifting it up through the chakras. We in our meditations are doing exactly that. Without the pranayama we are, in a very pure fashion, bringing up the energy of the Kundalini through the chakras we work with. So these meditations have the advantage...

I am a yogi...

Image
“I am a yogi beyond word, thought, and description, Who journeys on the plain of the view free from extremes. When I journey on the plain of this view, I journey while regarding appearance and existence as dharmakaya. I am a yogi of luminous appearance and emptiness, Who journeys on the plain of the meditation of empty bliss. When I journey on the plain of this meditation, I journey beyond meditation and postmeditation. I am a yogi of self-liberated perception, Who journeys on the plain of spontaneous conduct. When I journey on the plain of this conduct, I journey in equal taste, without accepting or rejecting. I am a yogi of self-existing non-fabrication, Who journeys on the plain of spontaneously accomplished fruition. When I journey on the plain of this fruition, I journey free from hope and fear. I am a yogi beyond word, thought, and description, Who journeys over the pass of the view free from extremes. When I journey over the pass of this view, I journey be...

Shurangama Sutra Volume 8

Volume 8 of "The Sūtra on the Śūraṅgama Mantra Spoken from above the Crown of the Great Buddha's Head, and on the Hidden Basis of the Tathagata's Myriad Bodhisattva Practices Leading to Their Verification of the Ultimate Truth" (or "Shurangama Sutra" for short) (If, rather than reading this post, you would like to hear me recite it - with musical accompaniment - you can do so here: Esoterinerd #77 . It's about 2 and a half hours long.) At that time, the Tathagata was preparing to leave the Dharma-seat. From the lion throne, he extended his hand and placed it on a small table wrought of the seven precious things. But then he turned his body, which was the color of purple-golden mountains, and leaned back, saying to everyone in the assembly and to Ananda: Those of you with More to Learn, those Enlightened by Conditions, and those who are Hearers have now turned your minds to pursue the attainment of supreme Bodhi—the unsurpassed, wonderful enlightenm...
