Paradise Here and Now

 Paradise Here and Now

The awakening of the 3rd Eye leads to becoming
cosmically conscious in a state of divine awareness of the
knowledge of all forms of all things.
This knowledge was hidden from human beings so that they could be kept in
ignorance of their spiritual birthright and instead become
restricted to religious agendas that exploit them using guilt and fear.

Jesus said: “Heaven is spread over the earth but you do not see it.”

“ If heaven is up in the sky, then the birds will get there before you.

And if heaven is under the sea, the fishes will get there before you.”

He said, “The kingdom of Heaven is within you.”

Break open a stone, there heaven is, and seeing the intricate beauty of the lily blossom, there also is heaven.

"If those who lead you say to you, 'The kingdom is in heaven,' then the birds of heaven

will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you.

But the kingdom is inside of you. And it is outside of you". 

 "The disciples said to Jesus, 'Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like.'

He said to them, 'It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds.

But when it falls on tilled soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter

for birds of the sky'". 

The saying, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all else will be added unto thee"

is a biblical phrase, meaning to prioritize God’s reign above all else in life. for: "whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven".

And: "As above, so below." The Book of Thoth, Egyptian god of Wisdom 

Internal alchemy and the awakening of the pineal gland is the awakening of the heavenly state within you. 

Both heaven and hell can be created within the human energy field of awareness.

Heaven is awakened and realized through the yoga of internal alchemy and service to the diivine..

Hell is the condition of ignorance of spiritual potential within one’s energy body

leaving one trapped in cyclical patterns of denial, pain and suffering. 

The individual is no longer able to observe the world in peaceful non-attached silence,

in awe of the marvelous world around them but gets lost in the repetative patterns of

worry, concerns, hopes and anxiety.

By awakening the pineal gland through internal alchemy the adept reaches states of blissful awareness that is identified with the divinity of heaven or nirvana. 

Buddhist Ideas of Nirvana/Heaven:

The ultimate goal in Buddhism is not to reach heaven, but to attain Nirvana, a state of permanent freedom from suffering and the cycle of rebirth entirely;

an internal state of blissful awareness and eternal joy beyond ordinary happiness.

Nirvana is not a metaphysical place like heaven. Nirvana is a state of awakening or

enlightenment, brought about through conscious effort to realize "what is"

through attention to the conditions and causes of what causes suffering.

Thus, Nirvana is something that can be attained while on earth to reach a

wholesome lifestyle. Nirvana must constantly be practiced in daily life to

reach this state of the internal ‘heaven’.

Carlos Castaneda:

Don Juan stated his belief that the Christian idea of being cast out from the Garden of Eden

sounded to him like an allegory for losing our silent knowledge, our knowledge of intent

(the force that permeates the universe). Sorcery then was a going back to the beginning, a

return to paradise.

Naguals are individuals with extraordinary energy who serve as intermediaries between intent and

their companions. They channel peace, harmony, laughter, and knowledge directly from intent, the

force that makes and permeates all things in the universe to their companion warrior-travelers.

Carlos Castaneda, The Power of Silence

"To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your

hand and eternity in an hour". [Heaven exists here and now.]

William Blake, spiritual visionary, poet and artist of 17th century England.

He was branded as being delusional and lacking a sound mind.

Taoism

The "Way of Heaven" (Tiandao) refers to the cosmic and natural order that governs all existence.

It represents the spontaneous, impersonal, and cyclical processes of the universe, which humans

are meant to align with rather than seek to control. The Taoist perspective contrasts the impartial

Way of Heaven with the artificial and imbalanced "way of man". This is the ultimate, cosmic law

that operates without conscious effort. 

It embodies a natural balance by reducing excess and supplementing deficiency, much like

an archer adjusts a bow. It provides for all beings indiscriminately, like the rain that falls on

flowers and weeds alike.

In Jainism, "heaven" (the Upper World or Urdhva Loka) is a realm of bliss for gods (devas), who enjoy celestial happiness

but remain within the cycle of birth and death until they achieve true liberation.

The ultimate destination is Siddha Loka, a crescent-shaped abode at the very top of the Jain universe, is home to enlightened souls

(siddhas) who have transcended all karma and reached eternal freedom.

Rice and tea poems:

'The wisest among us receive great joy just making a cup of tea."

"All my life I sip tea and cook rice. Now world in dramatic tailspin..

I sip tea and cook rice."

Back in the day my wife would get flustered because I could make rice without measuring

wheres she needed to measure everything including how much salt. She on the other hand could carry a sack

full of groceries balanced on her head without the support of arms or hands.

She was an amazing woman and God only made one. Its never too late to honor those who

deserve it.
