And you have never admitted that Ishmael is just one delusional character amongst tens of thousands of self-realized SYs. It is this silence about your freind that makes me suspect birds of a feather flock together. And that Ishmael character has just taken that biblical name to make himself special and claim the title of Kalki. Nuts like him should see a shrink. And people like you should stop advertising on his behalf and trawl for members on SY forums. Just leave us in peace so that we can worship Shri Mataji. Stop wasting our time and attention on pseudo-incarnations like Ishmael. jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Huh-huh, Jagbir, So I should discuss here with you about Ishmael? I should comment how I felt when reading that Ishmael's diary, and how I felt when the moderaters went in this craze of calling other yogis as devils? About the first matter, I am not expert; I am still a beginning sahaja yogi, and I can not claim that my Sahasrara is fully opened, or that I have achieved full union with the Goddess; or that I mave much understanding about these matters. I have said many times, that I don't know. But since you ask, I will try explaining my feelings of this subject. I can well understand your shock, when some parts of his diary went so explicitly.. I don't know how should I call. To tell the truth, I wasn't shocked, really; I am a man of literature, and so accustomed to all sorts of writings, good and bad, vulgar and elegant, fine and brutal. So I just read there, without any reaction pro-and-con. I can read like this, flipping through books. I felt it was written in strangely mythological tone. I felt the question rising, why is this man wanting to share with us these experiences and thoughts? I did contact him, and we became friends, but still I was completely at loss what he means, and what is he talking about. I don't really feel it's my task to condemn other people to hell, or give excommunications, you see. I may sometimes react and be angry, and it will pass; but this judging business I am willing to leave to Mother. When I saw you moderators judging, I felt you are committing a sin there. It's so clearly said; I heard it with my own ears that no sahaja yogi has the right to say to another sahaja yogi what he is or what he is not. Shri Mataji has said this. In same way, as She cancelled the power to give curses. I was wondering why you seem to take the matter so personally. Then you deleted one of my posting; it was The Everlasting Gospel by William Blake, and it was then I understood that it's you, who are attacking against the Divine. There's two sons against the Mother; 1.) Denying the yoginess of another sahaja yogi, which you have no right to do. 2.) Deleting the pure words of William Blake, who is an Archangel. I was shocked about this, and in my evening meditation asked from Mother " With what kind of people I am dealing with here? " " They accuse other people being anti-god, but they are behaving veru badly themselves. Who are they? are they immune to the Law? " And Mother answered: " Yes, they think they are. " At that point I lost all joy in talking with you moderators and yogis in here shriadishakti-website. So, if you are willing to begin the communication about this subject, let's talk about scriptures. I had there many ideas from kahlil Gibran; then I had Everlasting Gospel from Blake, and they say it's the essence of Blake's message in this text. So read this Blake, and we can discuss what are the forces of repression, and what is freedom; freedom of thought, freedom of speech, what is respect, what is communication, what are the civilized manners. I asked you to read that Peter Ackroyds book about Blake, so i assume you've read it. Just a neutral hypotheses: isn't there a similarity here what Blake is writing and what Ishmael is writing? Don't react, if I am wrong I am wrong. I may mistake. But lets study this like scientists. Can you follow me? What you think? Not just Jagbir, but the rest of you yogis? Jukkaji. The deleted posting from the forum: ----------------------------- The Everlasting Gospel by William Blake Blake might indeed have been starved, but for the good fortune in meeting in 1818 the young artist John Linell, through whose help he was able to live while drawing and engraving his great series of illustrations to the Book of Job and to Dante. It was about this time that he wrote his last important poem The Everlasting Gospel. It is, for him, a new kind of poetry, in which his elaborate symbolism is abandoned for the barest and most direct statement with complete success. In it Jesus appears as the last of his series of Promethean heroes at war with the Satanic forces of repression. The date of this poem is noteworthy. It is often suggested that Blake in his later life modified his ideas, coming closer to those of orthodox Christianity, yet the fact is that in this work of his old age they are expressed with the greatest clarity and sharpness. It is clear also, from the condition in which the text has reached us, that the ideas in The Everlasting Gospel were a constant pre-occupation, something to which he constantly returned and never ceased to reshape. " (Morton 20) A. L. Morton sees this work by William Blake as the clearest of the windows the poet and artist opens for us into his soul, and indeed it may be. However, what you will most likely find through the use of this resource is that even a " direct statement " from Blake is not a direct statement. The importance of the ideas expressed in The Everlasting Gospel and their continual presence in Blake's mind may be clear enough, but what these ideas actually are is anything but clear. To Morton, Blake's statements in this work may be full of " clarity and sharpness, " and you may also weave your way through this site and arrive at some understanding of Blake's message, if indeed you discover that he has one. But understand this: the two of you may not have read the same " poem. " And if you read it again, you may find that it has changed. Blake once said, " that which can be made Explicit to the Idiot is not worth my care " (letter to Trusler, 1799), and he apparently meant it. The Everlasting Gospel by William Blake (from the Rossetti Manuscript part III, Written circa 1810.) -á- The Vision of Christ that thou dost see Is my Vision's Greatest Enemy Thine has a great hook nose like thine Mine has a snub nose like to mine Thine is the Friend of All Mankind Mine speaks in parables to the Blind Thine loves the same world that mine hates Thy Heaven doors are my Hell Gates Socrates taught what Melitus Loathd as a Nations bitterest Curse And Caiphas was in his own Mind A benefactor of Mankind Both read the Bible day & night But thou readst black where I read white. -â- Was Jesus gentle or did he Give any marks of Gentility When twelve years old he ran away And left his Parents in dismay When after three days sorrow found Loud as Sinai's trumpet sound No Earthly Parents I confess My Heavenly Fathers business Ye understand not what I say And angry force me to obey Obedience is a duty then And favour gains with God & Men John from the Wilderness loud cried Satan gloried in his Pride " Come " said Satan " come away Ill soon see if youll obey John for disobedience bled But you can turn the stones to bread Gods high king & Gods high Priest Shall Plant their Glories in your breast If Caiaphas you will obey If Herod you with bloody Prey Feed with the Sacrifice & be Obedient fall down worship me.

If He intended to take on sin The Mother should an harlot been, Just such a one as Magdalen, With seven devils in her pen. Or were Jew virgins still more curs'd? And more sucking devils nurs'd? Or what was it which He took on That He might bring salvation? A body subject to be tempted, From neither pain nor grief exempted; Or such a body as might not feel The passions that with sinners deal? Yes, but they say He never fell. Ask Caiaphas; for he can tell. – " He mock'd the Sabbath, and He mock'd The Sabbath's God, and He unlock'd The evil spirits from their shrines, And turn'd fishermen to divines; O'erturn'd the tent of secret sins, And it's golden cords and pins, In the bloody shrine of war Pour'd around from star to star, - Halls of justice, hating vice. Where the Devil combs his lice. He turn'd devils into swine That He might tempt the Jews to dine; Since which, a pig has got a look That for a Jew may be mistook. " Obey your parents. " - What says He? " Woman, what have I to do with thee? No earthly parents I confess: I am doing my Father's business. " He scorn'd Earth's parents, scorn'd Earth's God, And mock'd the one and the other's rod; His seventy Disciples sent They by the sword of Justice fell, And Him their cruel murderer tell. He left His father's trade to roam, And wand'ring vagrant without home; And thus He other's labour stole, That he might live above control. The publicians and harlots He Selected for His company, And from the adulteress turn'd away God's righteous law, that lost it's prey. " -æ - Was Jesus Chaste or did he Give any Lessons of Chastity The morning blushd fiery red Mary was found in Adulterous bed Earth groand beneath & Heaven above Trembled at discovery of Love Jesus was sitting in Moses Chair They brought the trembling Woman There Moses commands she be stoned to Death What was the sound of Jesus breath He laid his hand on Moses Law The Ancient Heavens in Silent Awe Writ with Curses from Pole to Pole All away began to roll The Earth trembling & Naked lay In secret bed of Mortal Clay On Sinai felt the hand Divine Putting back the bloody shrine And she heard the breath of God As she heard by Edens flood " Good & Evil are no more! " Sinais trumpets cease to roar Cease finger of God to Write The Heavens are not clean in thy Sight Thou art Good & thou Alone Nor may the sinner cast one stone To be Good only is to be A Devil or else a Pharisee Thou Angel of the Presence Divine That didst create this Body of Mine Wherefore has[t] thou writ these Laws And Created Hells dark jaws My Presence I will take from thee A Cold Leper thou shalt be Tho thou wast so pure & bright That Heaven was Impure in thy Sight, Tho thy Oath turnd Heaven Pale Tho thy Covenant built Hells Jail Tho thou didst all to Chaos roll With the Serpent for its soul Still the breath Divine does move And the breath Divine is Love Mary Fear Not Let me see The Seven Devils that torment thee Hide not from my Sight thy Sin That forgiveness thou maist win Has no Man Condemned thee No Man Lord! then what is he Who shall Accuse thee. Come Ye forth Fallen Fiends of Heavnly birth That have forgot your Ancient love And driven away my trembling Dove You shall bow before her feet You shall lick the dust for Meat And tho you cannot Love but Hate Shall be beggars at Loves Gate What was thy love Let me see it Was it love or Dark Deceit Love too long from Me has fled. Twas dark deceit to Earn my bread Twas Covet or twas Custom or Some trifle not worth caring for That they may call a shame & Sin Loves Temple that God dwelleth in And hide in secret hidden Shrine The Naked Human form divine And render that a Lawless thing On which the Soul Expands its wing But this O Lord this was my Sin When first I let these Devils in In dark pretence to Chastity Blaspheming Love blaspheming thee Thence Rose Secret Adulteries And thence did Covet also rise My Sin thou hast forgiven me Canst thou forgive my Blasphemy Canst thou return to this dark Hell And in my burning bosom dwell And canst thou Die that I may live And canst thou Pity & forgive Then Rolld the shadowy Man away From the Limbs of Jesus to make them his prey An Ever devoring appetite Glittering with festering Venoms bright Crying Crucify this cause of distress Who dont keep the secrets of Holiness All Mental Powers by Diseases we bind But he heals the Deaf & the Dumb & the Blind Whom God has afflicted for Secret Ends He comforts & Heals & calls them Friends But when Jesus was Crucified Then was perfected his glittring pride In three Nights he devourd his prey And still he devours the Body of Clay For Dust & Clay is the Serpents meat Which never was made for Man to Eat. -ç- Seeing this False Christ, in fury and passion I made my voice heard all over the nation. What are those… -è- I am sure This Jesus will not do, Either for Englishman or Jew.
