[Guest guest]

(Dear Violet, thank you for posting ever more evidence that will

slowly but surely destroy WCASY, the SY organization and those SYSSR

SYs collectively engaged in a blatant and celebrated collective

corruption of a most sacred secret! Yet again i assure all that its

demise is well on the way, and nothing will reverse its self-

destruction! It is indeed a blessing to prevent this negativity from

editing and deleting the core exoteric teachings of Shri Mataji and

priceless esoteric revelations of the Devi for human enlightenment

and emancipation.)

 

 

The Second Birth of Man--In Spirit - Part 2

(Dialogue with Nicodemus, Part I)

 

True religion is founded

upon intuitional perception

of the Transcendental Reality

 

(p.240) All bona fide revealed religions of the world are based on

intuitive knowledge. Each has an exoteric or outer particularity, and

an esoteric or inner core. The exoteric aspect is the public image,

and includes moral precepts and a body of doctrines, dogmas,

dissertations, rules, and customs to guide the general populace of

its followers. The esoteric aspect includes methods that focus on

actual communion of the soul with God. The exoteric aspect is for the

many; the esoteric is for the ardent few. It is the esoteric aspect

of religion that leads to intuition, the firsthand knowledge of

Reality.

 

The lofty 'Sanatana Dharma' of the Vedic philosophy of ancient India--

summarized in the Upanishads and in the six classical systems of

metaphysical knowledge, and peerlessly encapsulated in the Bhagavad

Gita--is based on intuitional perception of the Transcendental

Reality, Buddhism, with its various methods of controlling the mind

and gaining depth in meditation, advocates intuitive knowledge to

realize the transcendence of 'nirvana'. Sufism in Islam anchors on

the intuitive mystical experience of the soul. [1] (p.241) Within the

Jewish religion are esoteric teachings based on inner experience of

the Divine, evidenced abundantly in the legacy of the God-illumined

Biblical prophets. Christ's teachings are fully expressive of that

realization. The apostle John's Revelation is a remarkable disclosure

of the soul's intuitional perception of deepest truths garbed in

metaphor.

 

The elite traditions of Western philosophy and metaphysics laud the

intuitional knowing power of the soul. The Greek mystic, philosopher,

and mathematician Pythagoras (born c. 580 B.C.) emphasized inner

experience of intuitive knowledge. Plato (born c. 428 B.C.), whose

works have come down to us as a primary foundation of Western

civilization, likewise taught the necessity for supersensory

knowledge to apprehend eternal truths. The Neoplatonist sage

Plotinus (A.D. 204-270) practiced Plato's ideal of intuitional

knowing of Reality: " Often I have woken to myself out of the body,

become detached from all else and entered into myself, " he

wrote, " and I have seen beauty of surpassing greatness, and have felt

assured that then especially I belonged to the higher reality,

engaged in the noblest life and identified with the Divine. " [2] He

died exhorting his disciples " Strive to bring back the god in

yourselves to the God in the All. " [3]

 

The Gnostics (first three centuries A.D.); the early Church fathers

such as Origen and Augustine; great Christian luminaries such as

Johannes Scotus Erigena (810-877) and Saint Anselm (1033-1109); the

monastic orders founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153) and

Hugh, Richard, and Walter of Saint Victor (twelfth century)--all

practiced intuitive contemplation of God.

 

Illumined Christian mystics of medieval times--Saint Thomas Aquinas

(1224-1275); Saint Bonaventure (1217-1274); Jan van Ruysbroeck (1293-

1381); Meister Eckhart (1260-1327); Henry Suso (1295-1366); Johannes

Tauler (1300-1361); Gerhard Groote (1340-1384); Thomas a Kempis (1380-

1471), author of 'The Imitation of Christ'; Jacob Boehme (1575-1624)--

sought and received ultimate knowledge through the light of intuition

[4]. (p.242) Christian saints through the centuries--Juliana of

Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila,

and many more known and unknown--partook of soul intuition in their

attainment of divine realization and mystical union with God.

 

British poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Traherne, and

Pope aspired to intuit and write about the all-pervading Spirit.

Emerson (1802-1882) and other American Transcendentalists sought

personal experience of immanent spiritual reality through intuition.

The German Idealist philosophers Hamann (1730-1788), Herder (1744-

1803), Jacobi (1743-1819), Schiller (1759-1805), and Schopenhauer

(1788-1860) emphasized it; and the great modern French philosopher

Bergson calls intuition the only faculty capable of knowing the

ultimate nature of things. [5]

may attain to this true light and perfect knowledge...by hearsay, or

by reading and study, nor yet by high skill and great learning. " " It

but we must know by experience. " So Mechthild of Magdeburg says of

her revelations, " The writing of this book was seen, heard,

and experienced in every limb....I see it with the eyes of my soul,

and hear it with the ears of my eternal spirit. " --quoted in

----------------------------

 

" One of these documents [found at Nag Hammadi] begins with the

scribal note in the margin, " The Gospel According to Thomas. " And the

first sentence of that document says, " These are the secret words

which the living Jesus taught and which Judas Thomas Didymos wrote

down. " And then they start a total of over 110 sayings, each

introduced by " Jesus said.... " ...

 

Now what is typical about these sayings is that in each instance,

these sayings want to say that if you want to understand what Jesus

said, you have to recognize yourself. You have to know yourself, know

who you are. It begins with a saying about the Kingdom of God, " if

you seek the Kingdom of God in the sky then the birds will precede

you. And if you seek it in the sea, then the fish will precede you,

but the Kingdom is in you. And if you know yourself then you know the

Kingdom of God. " (The Kingdom of the Father, in fact, it always says

in the gospel of Thomas. Normally the Kingdom of the Father, not the

Kingdom of God.) " But if you don't know yourself, you live in

poverty. " And poverty is understood as the ignorance of a life in its

physical existence. Knowledge is understood to be the knowledge of

one's divine origin, of the fact that one has come from the Kingdom.

That we are on this earth only in a sojourn...

 

What does it mean really to know oneself? To know oneself is to have

insight into one's own ultimate divine identity. You can go back to

understand this to Greek models, which certainly exist. " Know

yourself " is a very old Greek maxim... that is, you have to know that

your own soul is divine, and then you know that you are immortal,

whereas the body is the mortal part of human existence. Now this is

radicalized in the Gospel of Thomas into saying that everything that

is experienced physically and through sense perception, everything in

this world that you can perceive in this way is nothing. It is, at

best, chaos and, at worst, it doesn't even exist in reality. The only

thing that really exists is your divine spirit or your divine soul,

which is identical in its quality with God himself. And Jesus is the

one who teaches that...

 

[When one truly knows oneself], one understands that one is divine,

but also one understands that one is mortal. In such a way, you

recognize that this mortality is really meaningless, as physical

existence is meaningless. And therefore, death is no longer a

problem, but death is a solution, because in death finally all this

mortality will fall away, and the true self will be liberated to an

independent existence that's no longer dependent on physical

existence. And on everything that goes with physical existence,

sickness and poverty and so on. And so physical existence is often

described as poverty. But when you know yourself you are no longer in

poverty. "

and Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical History Harvard Divinity School)

 

 

" The verses repeatedly stress that " the Kingdom " is within us — and

not, as the Church has insisted, in the heavens barred to

the " sinner " by Saint Peter. One reason for the Curch's vehement

opposition to the Thomas gospel was the inclusion of Jesus' repeated

warning to us not to entrust our spiritual development and well-being

to others, be they priests, politicians or prophets. "

 

Paul Roland, Revelation: Wisdom of the Ages,

Ulysses Press, 1995, p. 51.

 

 

---------------------------

 

Note: There is little difference between the above repeated warning

by Jesus and mine below i.e., do not entrust your spiritual

development and well-being to others, be they WCASY priests,

politicians like Sir C.P. or Kalki prophets named Ishmael and Richard

Embleton. And if i have to repeat this warning hundreds of times over

the years i will most willingly. It is indeed a blessing to enjoy the

solitude of a clear conscience than the collective joy of liars,

fools and hypocrites. Period!

 

A blatant and celebrated corruption of a most sacred secret!

 

Dear all,

 

All i can say is that if you want to achieve Self-realization you

will have to completely discard the SYSSR (Sahaja Yoga Subtle System

Religion). You absolutely need no external ritual/innovation/image

but only Silence on Self to attain this most important goal of life,

a goal that many great philosophers, thinkers, sages, gurus,

messengers and Holy Scriptures have collectively proclaimed:

 

http://www.adishakti.org/forum/silence_on_self_read_it_regularly_till_in_silence\

_you_realize_your_self_8-13-2008.htm

Silence on Self (read it regularly till in Silence you realize your

Self)

 

....... one that Shri Mataji spent more that 30 years doing so also.

 

The Self-realization that most SYs preach to/discuss with others is

an insult to intelligence, and if you add all their catches and

cleansing rituals .......... a blatant and celebrated corruption of a

most sacred secret!

 

i give just the tip of this SYSSR iceberg - after decades Shri Mataji

finally told SYs during the recent 2008 Guru Puja that realization of

Self should not be from Her photograph! It was a statement that went

against all that SYs had so religiously believed all their lives (and

will still do despite Her saying otherwise). Few could believe their

ears. Even less understood that Shri Mataji was in fact telling them

to discard the most sacred cow of Sahaja Yoga - Her photograph!

 

Remember how WCASY members like Alan Wherry and Viktor Bondar, their

henchmen John Noyce/Edward Saugstad, and other SYs went delirious

with joy years ago when i insisted on this forum that we must not,

and need not meditate on Her photograph for Self-realization (which

was so conviniently interpreted by WCASY as going against Shri

Mataji!!!)

Fw: Hi Viktor

 

John Noyce of Australia has been keeping a close eye on the

activities of the owner of www.adishakti.org, who used to be in SY

but clearly isn't a Sahaja Yogi now, and is openly critical of all

Sahaja leadership, including, at times Shri Mataji Herself.

 

He is somewhat eccentric and for example, advocates not using a photo

of Mother when meditating, not footsoaking etc. The owner of this

site, one Jagbir Singh of Canada is on a crusade to spread his own

eccentric, supraconscious view of what Sahaja Yoga is, and where

possible we should advise people not to go there - although of

course, individuals are free to do what they like.

 

John tells me that the web site http://inspired.kiev.ua/about/ links

to www.adishakti.org

 

Obviously, I don't know the owner of that web site, Yuriy Linnyk,

whether he is Sahaj or not, but in the event that he is known to you,

is it possible that you might prevail upon him to remove the link as

it contains much erroneous and inaccurate information. Yuriy lists

adishakti.org before the official Sahaj Yoga website.

 

Much love and best wishes

 

Alan

Jai Shri Mataji " (end)

 

My comprehension of Self-realization was rejected as blasphemous and

there was unrestrained joy in so many collectives worldwide over my

unforgiveable error of judgment. There were collective celebrations

because at last SY leaders had proof that this blasphemy reflected

the supraconsious nonsense i have written of Kash, Arwinder and

Lalita at www.adishakti.org (even though Shri Mataji had over the

years always, and repeatedly, approved the evidence these three

siblings had given to prove that She is that - the Adi Shakti).

 

As i said, this is just the tip of the SYSSR iceberg. You will know

that there is much more nonsense than just giving self-realization to

bicycles and cats, forbidding women from wearing trousers, engaging

in matka marathons, or staying indoors for 24 hours to escape from

the Doors of Hell that open every Diwali.

 

It insults my intelligence even to write this post because i have to

tell so-called self-realized souls, already diseased by the SYSSR

mindset, that until and unless they completely discard all their

external rituals/innovations/images and learn how to maintain Silence

on Self, they are far, far away from the goal of Self- realization.

And i mean far, far, far away!

 

Yes, SYs are collectively engaged in a blatant and celebrated

collective corruption of a most sacred secret! Modern seekers are

just too savvy and well-informed to follow such fools. The Sahaja

Yoga organization is reaping the harvest of their SYSSR, seeds of

ritual and corruption so lovingly and collectively sowed many years

ago.

 

It may be challenged that how can so many be misled for so long by so

few. The answer is that if you are neither conscious nor

conscientious of following the true teachings of Shri Mataji in all

its entirety, you will follow those who have corrupted it. It is as

simple as that!

 

regards to all,
