Thus have i heard.... I heard a telepathic voice in my head in 2018 while meditating. The telepathic voice said, "Pray, meditate, eat good food, drink good water, wake up early, work your body, wash your clothes by hand. Stay humble, calm and focused. Stay kind. Write, speak, sing with your heart. You will do great things for your people, make it right." The voice also said this to me: To achieve spiritual harmony, integrate your physical, spiritual, and astral bodies through mindful breathing practices. This union will illuminate your inner light, connecting your earthly form to your celestial essence. As you ascend to higher planes of consciousness, embrace the divine radiance within your soul. Heed the timeless wisdom whispered by your heart, the seat of your soul's voice. By radiating love and light in every thought and action, your soul will soar to new heights of awareness, ultimately connecting to the realm of the Divine. Begin by sitting or lying down comfortably, closing your eyes, and relaxing all the muscles in your body. Take slow, intentional breaths, visualizing the radiant light that permeates all existence. Inhale deeply, filling your lungs with pure, white light, and exhale fully, releasing all negativity. Envision this luminescence enveloping you, seeping into every cell, and filling your heart with its essence. With each breath, the light grows brighter, becoming the very fabric of your being. In this state of unity, you will understand the fundamental nature of the universe: pure, unconditional love. As you continue to breathe in the radiance, you want to breathe very, very slowly with your belly, keeping your chest still. Time loses meaning, and reality's boundaries blur. You become one with the light. In this sacred space, you can now direct the light to a specific part of your body, visualize your aura growing more vibrant, or shine the light on someone you focus on, cultivating a deeper connection. Pretty wild if you ask me!

Hi Ken , what happened to the Ultimate Siva teachings you had posted in about 8 different videos. Why is that gone and where do I find t? What was the name of t?
🙏❤🙏
Perfect
This has a very very deep meaning it’s not to just be understood literally ❤️
Esther is just flaming me But I am grateful for the attention She needs to unwind and she knows I am confidential __________ In my life as a makeshift ethnobotanist through the thick internet snow that surrounds most Inuit tribes who reach out through online means alone and do their best to shun visitors because "The Arctic is easier to protect alone" there's been a lot of quiet and solitude, between myth absorption and research papers which is peaceful but wisdom is the middle way, it's Esther who has provided the most consistent bass and grounding friend contact. “Hemp biodiesel is the name for a variety of ester based oxygenated fuels made from hemp oil.” She has a deeper meaning though, she is a beating heart, a thorn in the side of the lagging administration, a never blocked advocate of clean energy and especially of hemp. Say we grow hemp in America and hopefully worldwide, we revive soil damaged area because hemp fortifies and improves soil fertility and detoxification, we create root stores for products than can be used both as biodegradable alternatives to plastic, paper, and whose extra 'waste pieces' discarded parts can be rounded up systematically and taken into centers that will convert them into hemp fuels, a fuel type ready to be used en masse as soon as right now because biodiesel fuels such a hemp can be used in any diesel engine safely and effectively. "Atlantic Biomass signed a Letter of Intent with Bionoid signaling their joint commitment to producing commercial quantities of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) from residual hemp biomass. This LOI will lead to the production of SAF and other bioproducts from up to 190,000 tons of annual residual hemp biomass harvests." (www.environmentenergyleader.com/2022/08/two-companies-join-together-to-produce-commercial-quantities-of-saf-from-hemp-biomass/) Hemp fuel endeavors are also unique in the modern cannabis movement in that they are remaining relatively small ego and not being very commercial from the shadows of obscurity which they operate from. I see complexes in Montgomery County Maryland being used by citizens with restaurants, health services and other shops however their underlying fabric is as underground government authorized hemp fuel processing centers. Restaurants are offering unused byproduct grease from their kitchens in addition to the hemp and solar power. There are no brand names and business horoscope scenarios, just an unexpectedly clean shopping complex also doing it's part to actively reverse climate change. One sure sign of these centers is they are routinely guarded by military police despite being civilian shopping zones. Egolessness is the energy of hemp The shadows of hemps uses come entirely from psychology around it not from the science of the plant processes or costs themselves. Hemp is being used to fuel our country and several others. Ultimately the male energy can overwhelm that's where we look to Esther again. Estrogen is the inevitable balancer of a hi hemp society, and the curtailer of safe and healthy weed growth. Hemp from an energy perspective, within the machines causes us to tense up ironic because in our bodies it causes looseness. It is estrogen, and the evolution of the Goddess that unfastened those unneeded bounds and cleanses the next level of plant purification in civilization. The energy is simpler than it seems, the government knew certain people would see through the secrecy in this specific matter and it's just a process of validation before more happens. This comes with the Democrat philosophy, if too much loudness and straightforward ness about hemp leads to conflict and downfall can we make it a norm among citizens to have the insight, read the hieroglyphs and know but not heavily publicize the secret that is now pervading every gas station and centers throughout USA. Buddha at the gas pump! The American Buddhist community is chanting Diamond sutra.
🤯 I used to like Buddhism now I’m just confused 48:46

"The Great Principle is not something which is Nor is It something which is not Nor is It something which both is and is not Nor is It something which isn't both is and is not" Nagiarajuna
I love that quote. I suppose you could say it is all at the same time, but who says anything? You are always going to fail no matter what you say. Enjoy failing.
My favourite part of this is turning the cc on so i can read along and the “beak shoes” man the beak shoes 😂 ❤

All about, not thinking Words are accurate…
Quick question of seeking the image of the. Buhdda is wasted effort then what are we supposed to seek the dharma.
Seeking an image of the dharma is also wasted effort.
I see but he's words are his image.@@Rompalicious4x4
I and all sentient beings, until our enlightenment. Take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha.
Thank you. Finally found your video to solve my curiosity about diamond sutra
My pleasure 😊

"Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a Summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."
Thank you for this transforming sutra reading.
You are so welcome
Hi Ken, thank you for this and my apologies if it is rude to give a correction, but the “th” in “tathagata” is not pronounced like the unusual English sounds represented by “th” - as in “thick” or “thorn”, it is a dental aspirate like the sound normally represented in English by just a “t” - as in “top” or “Tom”. This is the case for all “th” in Sanskrit words. Best wishes 🙏🏼
So, "ta-ta gah-ta"?
Yes, although to be accurate the ta at the start and end should be unaspirated - (like the r in “stand” rather than the t in “Tom”. This makes them sound a little “d” like to English speakers, because English doesn’t allow an unvoiced unaspirated dental stop in those positions.
@@helikophis Interesting! Thank you.
Thank you 😊 💓
You're welcome 😊
Awesome stuff, but the advertisements every 5 minutes made me stop listening.
Um... Take it up with UA-cam by paying for no ads. This is not up to content creators. I've not taken a dime.
Thanx 😊 it's very helpful! 😇
Most welcome 😊
More I listen better and better/deeper "it" gets😇
ON THE SUBJECT HERE: Tathagata and above, they ALL Know what is the world in minute detailbut when Act they do not start from that perspective! No like some "teachers" jump from closing eyes to Nothingness of an empthy soul AND NOTHING BETWEEN.
How can those cheeky guys who sell stuff here chose so unrelated vids to REPEATEDLY annoy?
Welcome to capitalism.
Be aware well versed and well assembled

Can you do more on Maitreya?
I would love to. Do you have a specific work/sutra in mind?
@@Rompalicious4x4 I don’t bc I’m not familiar with all of the texts that might mention Bodhisattva Maitreya, but I would love a playlist where I can access any ancient sutras written about or by him.
