Listen to your intuition
Follow your heart
Trust your gut
To listen to one's intuition is to be receptive to those parts of yourself which are unconscious, but nonetheless which understand.
To be ready at all moments, waiting, listening, being open to all potential.
To follow one's heart is to communicate with that core of the self which informs conscious awareness directly. To follow one's heart is to be mindful of one's desires, intellect, ego, and through these pursue only what is meaningful, what is heartfelt, what is naturally true.
To trust one's gut is to feel the instinctual drive to accomplish or overcome some challenge, and to respond to this drive with action. The gut tells us what is imperative to our survival, it tells us when to jump even though we fear the fall. To trust one's gut is to take the leap.
The intuition is the gateway to understanding what is beyond our conscious awareness.
The heart is the gateway to the soul of the world which is the core of transcendent conscious awareness.
The gut is the gateway to the personal soul, the source of conscious awareness and our innate drive to go on living.
Thought -> Speech -> Action
Do what you say and say what you think.
When you do without thinking, there is nothing to say. When you say without doing, there is nothing to think. When you think without saying, there is nothing to do.
Revolve these ideas around in your mind.
View them inside and out.
Turn them on their head, invert them, obscure them, forget them.
Watch yourself.
Watch all that is happening within you.
All the natural processes going on in your body, watch them. Hold them in your consciousness like a mother holds an infant in her arms.
Keep your awareness centered in your gut, where your center of gravity is, or just under it.
Now that you are watching what is happening, all the processes going on, and you've centered your consciousness amongst these processes, begin to move this awareness up to your heart, and begin to see how the breath is constantly transforming this essence which you are holding in your conscious mind into a type of inner energy that flows from the heart and lungs. This is known as Chi. By becoming aware of the breathe is like feeding the baby in our arms, giving it energy.
Now, having established this flow of energy, bring the awareness up into the center of the head, and see how the energy of the breath is being constantly transmuted into spirit by the mind. This spirit wants to very quickly escape our attention and manifest as some action or thought, often when we haven't fully centered ourselves and generated enough chi to transmute the spirit. But if we generate enough chi, we will find that when we raise our awareness up to this level that the spirit does not run away and turn into thought. Instead, the spirit begins to circulate up the spine and down the front of the body. If we circulate this long enough, like rocking the baby to sleep after it has been fed, we find that the spirit crystallizes and eventually turns into nothingness (the baby falls asleep).
This is one method of meditation.
Self -> Family -> Community
Help yourself to help your family and friends so you can at least begin to learn how to help your community and therefore society.
Jing (lower dantian):
Gathering the essence, we form the stable core of observation of mind and body. All faculties are held in consciousness.
Qi (middle dantian):
Transmuting the essence, it rises to the heart level, and is turned to energy by the breath, here the senses are calmed, and the self separated from the bodily movements.
Shen (upper dantian):
Transmuting the energy, it rises to the heavenly heart in the square inch of the forehead. It is then transformed through concentration and circulation of the light, and becomes Spirit.
Wu-wei:
Transmuting the spirit, it rises beyond the body into the Tao, and becomes the Tao. The self and it's sensory ties are broken by this. Consciousness fades into unconsciousness.
Thus, spirit is turned to nothingness.
The Powers of the Sphinx:
To Know
To Dare
To Will
To Keep Silent
To Go
-
To Know is not to Understand is not to be Wise is not the Truth.
What one remembers is not what one knows.
After having known, one must act in order to understand. Understanding is found in experience beyond knowledge.
To be wise is to understand much over time.
Those who are wise may transmit their wisdom to others in the form of some knowledge.
Those receiving this knowledge must then go beyond it in order to understand, and therefore become wise themselves.
The Truth is beyond all these, silent, ineffable.
The Way of the Shaman:
One must practice the disciplines of the Holy and Celestial Temple of Naught.
The shaman rises before the sun and sleeps early, eating a controlled diet, and living to strengthen their mind and body.
The shaman remains reverent and chaste, preserving the essential energy for the great work.
The shaman practices the deepening control and analysis of the dreams.
The shaman undergoes constant psychological reflection and integration.
The shaman records all happenings and notes the changes over time.
The shaman builds a calender of the seasons and the hours, and lives according to its virtue.
The shaman learns and practices the ceremonies of magick and the disciplines of yoga.
The shaman studies the philosophies of all ages and actively applies all knowledge for the sake of understanding.
The shaman trains by way of Jeet-Kune-Do, swordplay, Iron Body, T'ai Chi, Zazen, and tea ceremony.
The shaman develops a relationship to nature and is immersed in natural life.
The shaman develops an understanding of the cultivation of plant medicines.
The shaman learns to administer plant medicines and communicate with the plant teachers for wisdom.
The shaman develops a system of attainment and healing which incorporates the wisdom of the plant medicines, the philosophies, and the practices of yoga and magick.
The shaman uses this system to initiate and heal other people, and also for help preparing themselves for the far journey.
The shaman, prepared fully by this system of attainment and healing, sets out for the far journey in accordance with the teachings of the secret of the golden flower. He invokes the bornless one and immerses himself in constant contact with the angel of the Eucharist of Light. He stays grounded in the light of this angel and seeks to unite himself with it. He partakes of the sacrament of Gods.
The shaman receives the holy word of wisdom from the angel, and does the work appointed to him by this innermost self.
Know Thyself
It's so simple, and yet, the most simple things appear from outside to be the most complex.
The universe in a blade of grass, for those who pay attention.
Find your way. Look within yourself.
No one can do it for you. You define it.
Understand that innermost simplicity.
Then look out at the world.
Do the experiment. Become the scientist.
Then think for yourself.
The map is not the territory.
The words that describe the map are even further from the territory.
You will find it where you least want to look.
You must visit the interior of the earth, and rectify yourself.
Information = Reality
Two sides of the same coin.
The Crown of Truth
The Wisdom of True Will
The Understanding of Intuition
The Knowledge of the Abyss
The Memory of Love
The Strength of Volition
The Beauty of Ego-consciousness
The Victory of Desire
The Splendor of Intellect
The Foundation of the Mind
The Kingdom of the Body
All-machines
