69. I Was Assaulted in My Home Lately

Enlightenment with Rishi Atma Bodha

Maybe it is necessary to explain what a yogi/mystic/master is. I guess in movie terms it is the equivalent of a Jedi master but instead of saber skills and just gravity manipulation, it is much more than that. In fact the Star Wars idea of Force is kind of superficial and unscientific. If you could have telekinetic powers over objects, you should be able to fly by using the same force to elevate your physical body.

Yogis are more about bringing Divine energy to Earth and helping others to experience That, thereby being Liberated.

Instead of winners and losers, I want us all to be winners.

As far as how the concept of the philosopher and the Yogi relate is the idea that there is an Ultimate philosophy. If you regard that you experience the Truth of the Ultimate philosophy in all its nuances, then you are not only a philosopher but an Ultimate philosopher. The Ultimate philosophy is so vast that it acts like a unified field theory for all philosophies.

Instead of being limited in any way, the Ultimate philosophy provides a framework of viewing existence in a way that doesn't limit it, but instead allows the experience of Reality in the most pure way possible.

Jnana Yoga is the path of knowledge and advocates that full enlightenment can be achieved by learning and knowledge.

I just finished listening to this talk by Jordan Peterson with full attention. He does make some interesting points, but his misunderstanding is that humans are finite and vulnerable.

The first 2 books of Genesis talks about how how Eve was born from the rib of Adam, and that is a symbol of Love being born from Truth itself. The forbidden fruit is actually the symbol for external desire and the deception that you need something external to feel complete.

There is a path that leads back to the paradise of Eden, and it is about mastering external desire.

Another flaw in his reasoning is how he concludes that criminality is born from arrogance or resentment. The true answer goes deeper than that and leads again to external desire.

When you have mastered external desire, it is impossible to feel arrogant or resentful.

The truth is that we are not limited beings, because we have the spark of the Infinite within us.

What keeps us from experiencing this is the limitations that we have placed upon our own minds whether it be as a result of personal beliefs or external conditioning by society itself.

Also, the Absolute does not lack anything, including limitations. It can be argued that the Absolute experiences limitations through us and our own experiences.

My point is not to invalidate the experiences of others but to discern what is the ideal experience. How to measure what is more ideal is the proximity of the experiencer with independence. My definition of independence is freedom from any kind of external subjugation in whatever form it takes.

I would argue that freedom is not about choices but about the ability to experience the best outcome.

If you are content that you have the best outcome possible, then why would you need a choice?

Vivid dreams of spasmic swirls

Swarms my horrid thoughts

Of green acres past by

Under black clouds of impending doom

Gloom the air of inhaled mist

Pierced only by the bright stars

Of outlandish hope in an alien landscape

Closed by minds of ignorant others

Embraced by technology and the onslaught of awaited change

To carry it by for eons to come

Can whispers ring true?

Be skeptical of anyone who claims to know themselves fully. The Truth is that knowing yourself is an endless process by design. The spark of the Divine within you is infinite. No matter how much you know, there is always more to discover.

Everyone can be better than they are now. The real balance is to be in harmony with the now and accept the Present before we can realize more fully our potential. Accepting the ordinariness of life should not get in the way of experiencing how extraordinary we are, but instead it allows for the backdrop and contrast that more fully enhances our appreciation of our infinite nature.

A world where complete liberation and incredible power exists, all wielded by ultimate wisdom and intelligence that seeks to benefit all, is not a bad world to live in.
