I would like to thank all who are reading here, and also those of you who have
sent me such kind emails. Throughout my life I wanted to read and understand the
Sanskrit texts. Intuitively I felt they held the Key to life's mysteries. They
have not disappointed me. It is natural to want to share these ancient jewels of
Wisdom-Knowledge, so out of my love for the Sanskrit texts, Metaphysical Musing
has grown over the years.
Over 70,000 free PDFs of 'Inanna Returns' have thus far been accessed. I know
this makes Inanna very sweetly happy. It is really her book, and not mine. She
gave it to me in the 'eye-of-my-mind' and it poured forth from her in Love as a
deeper understanding of the Myriad Worlds. She loves us and wants us to know
that, as Swami Lakshmanjoo has said,
"This whole universe has come into existence just to carry you to God
consciousness."
I also want to thank the Piper, my webmaster who I know prefers to be invisible.
But perhaps just this once he will permit me to acknowledge him, because for
over 20 years now he has been my friend and the person I have relied on in so
many ways, not just the technical underpinnings of Metaphysical Musing — but the
Piper is also a constant source of balancing wisdom and answers to all my
endless pesky enquiries. He is by nature a quiet and modest man who knows just
about everything about anything, and who also plays the bagpipes! I am blessed.
Thank you.
I hope you all have a wonderful 2014. I wish you Love, Enlightenment, and
Wisdom-Knowledge. Moksha! I leave
2013 & you with a description of the One in the Bhagavad Gita XIII:
14. The appearance, semblance of the senses, yet free from all the senses,
unattached, not clinging, and yet maintaining all, free from the
gunas, yet experiencing the
gunas.
15. Outside and inside of beings, the unmoving and the moving, from subtlety
this is not to be understood, remotely situated, far and also near, This.
16. Undivided among beings, yet existing as if divided, the sustainer of beings,
devourer and creator.
17. This is the Light of lights, beyond darkness, the Knowledge, the
to-be-Known, and the goal of Knowledge, seated in the Hearts of all.
We meet in the Heart,

IRON CAGEBOOK
by Darwin Bond-Graham on CounterPunch
http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/12/03/iron-cagebook/
This kind of elitist Silicon Valley technology-as-religion, control and tyranny
from the newly rich & powerful and true believers is exactly what Jaron Lanier
talks about in his book "Who Owns the Future":
***
"Reducing life itself"
- quoted from Jaron Lanier's 2010 book, "You Are Not a Gadget"
Jaron Lanier
is a long time Silicon Valley computer scientist, a pioneer in the field of
virtual reality (a term he is credited with popularizing according to wiki). In
this flat-out fascinating interview Jason explains that what has happened to our
world is primarily the result of the countless unintended consequences of giant
computers.
The biggest computers and those who own them win! Siren Servers as he terms
them, have changed everything from the middle class disappearing, financial
chaos and wealth transference to the 1%, even insurance and health — and not for
the better. He also has ideas for solutions.
* Jaron Lanier sits down with Steve
Paikin to discuss how the rise of digital networks is leading to the demise of
the middle class - and how we can stop it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdEuII9cv-U
Excerpt from Amazon:
Jaron Lanier:
The problem is not inherent in the Internet or the Web. Deterioration only began
around the turn of the century with the rise of so-called "Web 2.0" designs.
These designs valued the information content of the web over individuals. It
became fashionable to aggregate the expressions of people into dehumanized data.
There are so many things wrong with this that it takes a whole book to summarize
them.
Here’s just one problem: It screws the middle class.
Only the aggregator (like Google, for instance) gets rich, while the actual
producers of content get poor. This is why newspapers are dying. It might
sound like it is only a problem for creative people, like musicians or writers,
but eventually it will be a problem for everyone. When robots can repair roads
someday, will people have jobs programming those robots, or will the human
programmers be so aggregated that they essentially work for free, like today’s
recording musicians? Web 2.0 is a formula to kill the middle class and undo
centuries of social progress.
Bio
http://www.jaronlanier.com/general.html
* From a review of Jaron Lanier's new
book "Who Owns the Future?"
Lanier refers to what he calls Siren Servers (a reference to the Sirens of Roman
and Greek mythology--beautiful, seductive figures who sang enchanting tunes to
lure sailors and travelers astray), the mega machines which accumulate and track
data in ways that would have been science fiction to the computer designers and
programmers of the 1950s and 60s.
And today’s machines, as Lanier points out, often amass that data without having
to pay for it, then, redeploy that accumulated information to manipulate
markets, increase customer traffic or manage profitability.
Lanier cites all the high-profile examples: high-frequency trading firms,
mortgage institutions, information search engines, social media networks, even
modern intelligence gathering; for better or worse, benign or hostile (think of
the recent NSA examples).

"...the Earth is their responsibility, rather than mankind's."
"They said the world would have many problems, but they would not
interfere...this planet was their concern, that Man has his own mind, and that
he must learn to take care of his planet if he wants to keep his home. [He]
assured me that our planet would continue to exist. But I was not assured than
Man would continue to exist on it, if he did not learn to take better care of
his most valuable possession..."
"The surface bases we have introduced on your planet are protected from sight by
powerful magnetic fields..."
"...the entire world's defense chiefs have hidden the
truth...The phenomena generates considerable anxiety among the world's
governments, who have only one method of holding back the moment of truth - to
maintain the conspiracy."
Inter-Galactic Maturity
Consider the idea that the off-world beings that did in fact colonize our little
planet are simply waiting, observing us, hoping that we will move into maturity
— and take responsibility for our own actions as individuals, participate with
Wisdom & Knowledge in our governments and in the care & protection of planet
Earth herself, our Mother.
Perhaps these off-world beings, of which there appear to be countless numbers of
multiple races, are indeed hoping that one day soon, we earthlings will come to
the realization that we don't need tyranny in any form, and that we are capable
of assuming an intelligent informed participation in our future.
Indeed they watch, hoping that one day we will lose our childlike interest in
ever more bizarre fear-loaded tales, which render us useless. Could it just be
that what the ETs are waiting and hoping for is for us, earth humans to grow up?
Because unless we demonstrate that we have become responsible adults here on
Earth, we cannot and will not be allowed to join and participate in the larger
Universe.
Enlightenment is not escapism. Enlightened beings naturally develop compassion
and engage in activities that contribute to the well-being of the world.
Haven't you ever wondered why certain conspiracy personalities, websites and
forums are allowed to thrive? These people say the most outrageous, absurd,
destructive things - and yet they go on and on.
Did it ever occur to you that just maybe the power elites - and yes they do
exist - are quite happy to have these cult figures create ridiculous fantastic
myths and ever more spell-binding fears to keep us distracted from anything
real? Ad nauseam theorizing of
made-up gibberish suits the elite just fine.
Instead of coming together in any practical political action, which might
actually accomplish something useful, thousands are constantly engaged in
arguing over endless discussions of blood lines (who cares?), reptilian monsters
that no one has ever seen or ever will see, or channeling ETs whose information
is always bizarrely contradictory, fear loaded, seemingly endless, and has
nothing to do with traditional primordial metaphysics. Fear sells.
The more rubbishy this stuff is the better for the elite, because it feeds those
who feel excluded from society and succeeds in preventing any real discussion
and participation in government. So the elite are quite happy to keep us
distracted, confused, powerless, sucking on crystals and fear mongering
conspiracy tales - because it renders us useless. Out of their way!
Constructive action would be to learn how governments actually do work, to read
history and economics, to actively participate in our democracy, and through
considered intelligence, knowledge and wisdom, compel our elected officials to
comply with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
That would put the shyster carneys out of business and perhaps give us a real
chance for a better future. Think about it. Together we might stop the drones
attacking innocent civilians in foreign countries, humiliate the moneyed elites
into well deserved shame, stop corporations from bribing our politicians, use
taxes for schools and bridges instead of war, and bring our troops home from
bases around the world.
Leaving the conspiracy industry in the dust could free up our bright young
people from depression and despair to create new innovative ways of thinking,
inventions to improve our life in the world in a productive manner.
The conspiracy industry is not our friend.
We meet in the Heart,
Susan
Oh Lord,
It seems I saw You everywhere
But in that secret place.
There You waited,
All along.
How was I to know You’d pick
Such a humble spot to dwell?
I thought of You on top of Everest,
Unreachable as stars as well …
How quietly You waited, knowing,
While I rushed about seeking You.
High in airplanes over distant lands,
Out the window I strained to gaze,
Stretching to see … is that You?
And all the arms that sought to hold me …
I saw in them some part of You.
They did not know what I was dreaming,
Perhaps they thought the same of me.
Yet all the time, You remained
Being, shining, radiant …
In the last place, it seems
That I could see!

Those of you who are reading or have read 'Inanna Returns' might be interested
in my more recent reflections on how the book came to me - and my relationship
with Zecharia Sitchin.
Reflections on ‘Inanna Returns’ and Zecharia Sitchin
http://www.metaphysicalmusing.com/articles/2012/irandzch.htm
Whispers from the One Within
I was NEVER separate from you.
I never judged you!
I always forgave you.
I held you in your Darkest Hours.
I wept when you cried for me.
I sought Beauty in you.
I rejoiced at your accomplishments.
I allowed you to move in ways
you
chose to bring me Experience and reveal My Reflection.
Would any Being do less for Its Creation, for Its Child/God?
PROPAGANDA / 1928
By Edward L. Bernays (nephew of Sigmund
Freud) CHAPTER I: ORGANIZING CHAOS
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions
of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who
manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government,
which is the true ruling power of our country.
"...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas
suggested, largely by men we have never heard of."
Free PDF here:
"That propaganda easily seduces even those whom it most horrifies is a paradox
that Bernays grasped completely; and it is one that we must try at last to
understand, if we want to change the world that Edward Bernays, among others,
made for us."
- Mark Crispin Miller, NYC 2004; Ig Publishing edition.
The Mechanics of the Kali Yuga, our current Age of Confusion
"...familiarity with the behavior of the ruling public (meaning those who had so
easily succumbed to the propaganda) has bred contempt... as a consequence,
despondent democrats turned elitist, no longer trusting intelligent public
opinion, and therefore should themselves determine how to make up the public
mind, how to bamboozle and seduce in the name of the public good..."
-
Propaganda Techniques in World War I
"...propaganda has become a profession. The modern world is busy developing a
corps of men who do nothing but study the ways and means of changing minds or
binding minds to their convictions." -

The One waits Within
I am flowing through you,
Beloved, so I wait within each being.
I am flowing through all My creation.
All are forms of their Creator's Love.
Even prodigal children are held
together by My Love.
Love is the space between the atoms.
The God-within each of us awaits...
You would not wander where
you are unwanted, unwelcome.
So I the One within remain,
waiting patiently, eternally,
the invitation to converse,
commune — embrace in Union.
Intensely.
Each meeting becomes a further
opening for the expression of Joy.
As lovers in their beginnings lightly
dance around each other, careful.
I the One, both Spirit and Creation,
embrace and separate, embrace and
separate in the eternal Dance of Beauty,
and our Return is complete.
The Labyrinth
God's universes are vast,
violent, cold, indifferent,
colliding, igniting, creating,
destroying, vanishing.
Birth is pain, death is pain.
Why are we surprised, unaware
that Life, our existence here on Earth,
is far from heaven, immersed in heart
ache, suffering and bliss.
Veiled in appearances, we indulge.
Five sense perceptions mislead us
through the Labyrinth of Illusion.
Released from the scars of delusion's
wounds tempting again, our own creation,
we dance back & forth between the One
and Multiplicity, from the Real into
the Phantasmal, our Dreams return,
our eyes dim.
Our Home is a state of Consciousness.
We meet in the Heart.
August 11, 2013
We are here for a vacation from boundless unfettered Infinitude - to enjoy the
intriguingly curious experience of Limitation in a polarity universe.
Everything we do, and all we have ever done throughout unending Cycles of Time,
serves the one sole purpose of leading us to God-Consciousness. Whatever we
create in the temporal illusory hologram inevitably inexorably crumbles and
dissolves.
Offer everything you do, say, think and feel to the God-within.
It belongs to the God-within anyway.
There is only The One.
We meet in the Heart,
Susan
"This whole universe has come into existence just to carry you to God
consciousness."
- Swami Lakshmanjoo, The Shiva Sutras
Quotes from the Sufi Doris Lessing's 'Documents Relating to The Sentimental
Agents in the Volyen Empire'; Vintage Books, 1984:
Incent:
"I don't want to think about it! I can't bear it! I wish I was dead! I don't
want to know..."
Klorathy:
"Incent," I said, "you are going to have to take it from me that you are very
ill [from rhetoric & propaganda]. But you will recover, I assure you."
***
"...it is not going to be easy for Incent. It is the hardest thing in the
Galaxy, if you have been the plaything of word, words, words, to become
independent of their ability to intoxicate."
***
"On planets where they [the emissaries] have been at work sometimes for
millenniums without - apparently - knowing it, they get quite downcast and
wonder whether their efforts are worth it."
***
"People...often lose the capacity for seeing themselves and their situation.
Enjoyment of manipulation, of power, of watching themselves in a role, dims
judgment.
***
"It can be considered a rule that the probable duration of an Empire may be
prognosticated by the degree to which its rulers believe in their own
propaganda."
Symptoms of the Kali Yuga
From the Sanskrit texts the Vishnu Purana and the Linga Purana:
Thieves will become kings, and kings will be the thieves.
Rulers will confiscate property and use it badly. They will cease to protect the
people.
Base men who have gained a certain amount of learning (without having the
virtues necessary for its use) will be esteemed as sages.
There will be many displaced persons, wandering from one country to another.
http://www.metaphysicalmusing.com/articles/symptoms.htm
Pages 125-8, written in 1995
Marduk did not use armies to conquer Terra; instead, he used propaganda. ...
Marduk went out of his way to slander me, Inanna. He claimed I was an evil witch
who devoured men and turned innocent women into whores. Coveting my temples and
all the lands owned by my priestesses, Marduk embarked on a campaign to slander
and destroy these women. My priestesses, who were highly trained in business and
the arts, were accused of black magic, of casting dark spells over the land.
Whenever anything went wrong, if there was a bad storm or a crop failure, my
women were blamed. And Marduk saw to it that plenty went wrong.
My beautiful priestesses were imprisoned, beaten, tortured, raped, and burned
alive. All of their property was confiscated. Marduk was taking his revenge on
me, the one who had ordered him buried alive.
In the Snake Kingdom, I lay on a small bed in a lovely room, but I did not
notice my surroundings. In the Eye of my Mind, I saw my temples defaced and
mutilated by Marduk's men. All images of the goddess were replaced with his own.
He carved his name in stone over mine and rewrote history, making himself the
hero of every story and legend.
I watched in helpless agony as my priestesses suffered every imaginable
humiliation. There are many so-called fairy tales of virgin girls taken by
dragons and chained in dark caverns. These stories are based on truth, but there
was no knight in shining armor to rescue my beautiful priestesses.
Marduk did not stop with my women; he would not be satisfied until he had
suppressed
all
women. To achieve this, he used the men. He told the human males that they were
superior, that woman was created from the rib of man to serve him. Lies, lies
poured forth from the priests of Marduk.
As women lost their place of respect, the men in turn lost a part of themselves.
Nothing was ever right again. Even lovemaking became a war. Because Marduk
wanted more subjects to control and more energy from the fear being generated,
he encouraged his subjects to procreate. He placed an electromagnetic
device in Terra's moon, which tied female ovulation to its cycles. The
animals of Terra cannot be impregnated so frequently as its women. Marduk wanted
to produce fear as a commodity, so he ordered the Lulus to multiply themselves,
giving him more subjects to tyrannize, and
so that he could generate energy from their fear.
Fear of Wisdom
Fear became the commodity most valued by Marduk. Fear ruled: fear of death, fear
of punishment, and fear of knowledge. With such an unlimited source, Marduk
could feed his legions of clones, and Terra became a power station for Marduk
and his tyrants.
And tyrants there were; from the rulers of countries to the heads of companies,
tyranny was the law. To exert one's will over another was the most highly valued
expression of human life. With tyranny came its friend, greed, and as no one can
be close to those they control, things, the trophies of conquest and control,
took the place of love. Pleasure was defined by possessions, and things took the
place of intimacy.
From the Snake Kingdom, I saw this world's future time line unfold before me. I
saw Marduk becoming more and more clever in his techniques to control the Lulus
and generate fear. Priests and politicians paraded before me; styles changed,
but the underlying tyranny remained the same. An invisible claw spread over the
minds and souls of the inhabitants of Terra. The Inquisition, the feudal system,
a hundred 'isms' all promising hope came
and left. Industrialization brought meaningless labor, increased materialism,
and contaminated the waters, the land, and the food.
Marduk perfected manipulation with the advent of mass media, television and
journalism. Over and over the humans were entrained to worship outside
themselves, never encouraged to turn inward. There was always someone out there
to be worshipped, someone better and higher. Doubting themselves, the Lulus
listened endlessly to the 'experts', who in turn contradicted each other, adding
further to the confusion.
The humans who did manage to think for themselves were ostracized as misfits,
punished, or at the very least made to feel guilty. If one accomplished,
others felt diminished, and guilt was encouraged. Psychology became
popular, and humans gave their money to those who would listen to their guilt
and fear for hours, days, years. For Marduk, guilt was just as nourishing as
fear.
If there was a shortage of fear, Marduk would throw in a famine, an earthquake,
or a hurricane. This could be real, actually occurring in Nature, or it might be
simply shown as a hologram or on the television.
From my little bed, the future of Terra looked abysmal.
Inanna Returns
"I, Inanna became many. I experienced life as a man and as a woman. I walked the
same roads humans have walked.
I felt what they have
felt, the same hope and despair. I held
a child in my arms; I was a child with no mother. As a human being, I
slaughtered many men and loved many more. I wondered bitterly, what did
it matter? What did anything matter? "Praying
for help,
I sat on the cold ground and gazed longingly up at the stars.
I
tried to remember."
Stopping the Trans-Pacific Partnership: Global Revolt Against Corporate

We are in the midst of an epic battle between the people of the world and

Oh innocent bird, come home!
No matter how much you cut the air with your wings,

Break the skies! Burn the world!
You won’t be able to hide yourself.

‘ROCKSTAR’ as a tale of Sufi Wisdom: Imtiaz Ali, Rumi, AR Rahman & Irshad Kamil
http://www.metaphysicalmusing.com/film/bollywood/Rockstar.htm
AR Rahman quotes:
I’m a deeply spiritual person. Sufism is about love – love for a fellow human,
love for all round humanity, and ultimately love for God. For me, it’s where
music and religion meet – at dargahs, you will find qawwalis. That’s my
inspiration.
Music is a gift from God and every note should be blessed. Otherwise music
becomes noise if it is not blessed. I am influenced by Sufism, which is also
connected with music. Before composing I pray and beg to God to give me
something. I believe every song should have a pure soul in it to reach people.

The Mysticism of Sound & Music,
The Sufi Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan / Shambhala 1991
By the help of music they [the Sufis] tune themselves to the sphere where they
wish to be. ... The Sufi especially loves music, calling it
ghiza-e-ruh — food of the soul. ...
The Sufis have used music not as an amusement, but a purification, as prayer to
God. The Chisti Order of Sufis especially uses music...to warm the heart, to
produce feeling. When a person has understood that everything in the world is
false, that every being is untrue — when this wisdom comes, then coldness comes.
... To stop this coldness, to produce feeling, the Chistis use music.

"Inanna Returns"
Gracie saw the familiar beautiful geometric forms in the Eye of her Mind. The
colors were rich, and the sparkling forms moved in rapid succession as Melinar
began to speak.
"All the systems of philosophy and religion available in printed form are
reflections of the Truth at various moments necessary to fulfill the needs of
that time. It is not necessary to attach your consciousness to any of these
systems, and the forms of religious expression that exist are still useful for
many, but countless more forms were lost from the pre-historical period because
nothing was written down.
"Truth is truth in any present moment of existence, regardless of the form it
manifests. The form is subject to the needs and capacity for reception of the
existing race of beings as determined by the point of their evolution. Those
thought formations/constructions which we build around us to protect us are
often the very same forms which invite our
Melinar's brilliants were moving faster than Gracie's human eyes could follow, but
she understood that there was some ineluctable trap in the human need to stop
change. Whatever was set into stone would inevitably be worn away. What we tried
to hold onto would be lost. No one could stop the river.
There is a field,
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and right doing.
I will meet you there.
- The Essential Rumi (1995), translated by Coleman Barks
All ever move, yet all are ever bound;
Ever they don, and ever lay aside,
The robe of life; while ever in vibration,
Ever at rest; nor anyone perceives
His origin or end: yet each one bears his fate,
And ever toward "the presence" wends his way.
Beneath the curtain of each atom lies concealed
The life increasing beauty of the face of the Beloved.
From The Sufi Dialogue, The Secret Garden, Answers of
Sheikh Sad-ud-Din MAHMUD SHABISTARI, 14th Century; translated in 1879 by Johnson
Pasha; The Octagon Press, London, 1969.
I often reflect that we should be worshipping our Earth's Magnetosphere, which
acts as our ultimate protective Mother - keeping out what we don't need, while
allowing in what we do. This report from NASA gives an idea of the pervading
subtle responsive intelligence that lies "beneath the curtain of each atom" and
is the ultimate source cause of all universes.
NASA excerpts: Earth is surrounded by a giant magnetic bubble called the
magnetosphere. As it travels through space, a complex system of charged
particles from the sun and magnetic structures piles up in front of it.
Scientists wish to better understand this area in front of the bow shock, known
as the foreshock, as it can help explain how energy from the rest of space makes
its way past this boundary into the magnetosphere.
As Earth moves around the sun, it travels surrounded by a giant bubble created
by its own magnetic fields, called the magnetosphere. As the magnetosphere plows
through space, it sets up a standing bow wave or bow shock, much like that in
front of a moving ship. Just in front of this bow wave lies a complex, turbulent
system called the foreshock. Conditions in the foreshock change in response to
solar particles streaming in from the sun, moving magnetic fields and a host of
waves, some fast, some slow, sweeping through the region. ...
"...a special kind of magnetic pulsations called short large amplitude magnetic
structures, which we call SLAMS for short.”
SLAMS are waves with a single, large peak, a little like giant rogue waves that
can develop in the deep ocean. By studying the region around the SLAMS and how
they propagate, the Wind data showed SLAMS may provide an improved explanation
for what accelerates narrow jets of charged particles back out into space, away
from Earth. ...
The material pervading this area of space – indeed all outer space – is known as
plasma. Plasma is much like a gas, but each particle is electrically charged so
movement is governed as much by the laws of electromagnetics as it is by the
fundamental laws of gravity and motion we more regularly experience on Earth.
...the SLAMS create a kind of magnetic mirror, causing the solar particles to
reflect, attenuating them into one of these field-aligned ion beams, shooting
out along magnetic fields back out and away from Earth.

"The universes are teeming with life..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IybzzOQzwr8
The Object of the Journey - by Sufi Master Hasrat Inayat Khan
[Paraphrased]:
The work of the inner life is to make God a reality, to create a loving intimate
relationship with aspects of the Oneness as the Beloved in whatever form may
please us. This relation with God is the true lasting source of all goodness in
this world and may seem more real than any other relationship. And when this
happens all relationships becomes less binding, while at the same time we become
more loving.
It is the godless man who is cold, impressed by the selfish and loveless world.
For the ones who are in love with God, the heart grows warm like a child's heart
and that Love becomes Living. Those who are in love with God feel that goodness,
kindness, protection, support, sympathy are coming from God from every side
everywhere. So the Way Home is very simple — Love God!
- from "The Inner Life" by Hazrat Inayat Khan [Sufi]; Shambala Boston & London,
1997.
Life on Earth Seeded Intentionally!
Astrophysicists in the Republic of Kazakhstan recently published an article
suggesting that life on planet Earth might have been seeded intentionally. Their
ideas fit with my own conclusions and the revelation that our Milky Way galaxy
is home to at least 100 billion alien planets. We earthlings are merely one
seeded colony among thousands, perhaps millions, as I have stated in 'Colony
Earth and The Rig Veda' - the result of my years of research in metaphysics,
Sanskrit, and our ancient off-world ancestors.
Acknowledging that the origin of terrestrial life is far from settled, their
research focuses on our DNA, explaining that our genetic code displays a
statistically strong intelligent-like 'signal' and thorough precision type
orderliness:
"The signal displays readily recognizable hallmarks of artificiality, among
which are the symbol of zero, the privileged decimal syntax and semantical
symmetries. Besides, extraction of the signal involves logically straightforward
but abstract operations, making the patterns essentially irreducible to any
natural origin."
The idea of the DNA being created beyond any 'natural' origin, [I would say
off-world], resonates with the metaphysical concept of the 'spirit body' or
SHARIRA in Sanskrit, which contains all of our actions, thoughts, and feelings
from our multiple incarnations. These 'impressions' are called SAMSKARAS in
Sanskrit and are defined as the imprints left on the subconscious mind by
experiences in this or previous lives, which then color all life, one's nature,
responses, states of mind etc., (wiki).
Kazakhstan astrophysicists:
"...the terrestrial code displays a thorough precision-type orderliness matching
the criteria to be considered an informational signal. Simple arrangements of
the code reveal an ensemble of arithmetical and ideographical patterns of the
same symbolic language. Accurate and systematic, these underlying patterns
appear as a product of precision logic and nontrivial computing..."
The understanding of the arrangement of the code as 'an ensemble of arithmetical
and ideographical patterns of the same symbolic language' is completely in line
with my assessment that the early Vedic Sanskrit the Rig Veda is composed in is
non-linear, more logographic, 'spherical' accumulations of layers of meanings
which compress stratums of consciousness and subjects - somewhat similar to the
Anasazi pictograms or perhaps various inscriptions purported to be of ET origin.
For reader convenience, I have condensed the twelve articles in the
'Colony Earth and The Rig Veda'
section into two. The details of Vedic science from various Indian authors and
amazing illuminating quotations from Doris Lessing's prophetic 'Canopus in
Argos' series, Shikasta, etc., are still found in the main files.

"Colony
Earth and the Rig Veda"
Earth is only one of hundreds of colonies in our galaxy, which is home to 100
billion alien planets. Now is the time for this self-evident truth to be
accepted!
Planet Earth is a Sacred Cosmic Life Laboratory for the creation of a wondrous
variety of beings. What is created here may be shared with other planets, and
the living beings that inhabit or will inhabit those planets throughout the
universe. Repeating cycles of Ice Ages and warm periods on Earth are fertile
ground for the evolutionary seeding, nurturing and tempering of races. These
cycles create an environment conducive to the spiritual, mental, and emotional
development, and the perfection of beings.
The Rig Veda is our most accurate window into ancient times. The Seers, the
Rishis who wrote these hymns were not only enlightened adepts and genius poets —
they were also masters of highly advanced technology and sciences, which
included space, the heliosphere, aerial ships, radiation weaponry, and climate
modification.
What you read here does not diminish or disregard the value of spiritual
knowledge in the sacred Sanskrit texts, or the importance of seeking
Enlightenment. In fact this ‘off-world’ perspective embraces and rejoices in the
magnificence of the Creator, the Oneness that supports the temporal holographic
universe with Its vast spectrum of dimensional realms. Nor does this conclusion
demean humanity in any way, for it also celebrates the greatness of every
courageous soul who has chosen to come here to participate in the grand ongoing
process of seeding the universe.

ALONE he moved watched by the infinity
Around him and the Unknowable above.
All could be seen that shuns the mortal eye,
All could be known the mind has never grasped;
All could be done no mortal will can dare.
A limitless movement filled a limitless peace.
In a profound existence beyond earth's
Parent or kin to our ideas and dreams
Where Space is a vast experiment of the soul,
In an immaterial substance linked to ours
In a deep oneness of all things that are,
The universe of the Unknown arose.
- from Sri Aurobindo's epic poem 'SAVITRI, A Legend and Symbol', 1950-55; Lotus
Press, WI. 1995, 2003.
"Objects and their knowledge are only reflections in the eternal, self-luminous,
supreme consciousness, which is the same as the knower and which alone is real.
We need not doubt that the reflection of all objects should occur simultaneously
without reference to time and space (contrary to our experience), because time
and space are themselves knowable concepts and are equally reflections.
" ...your own true nature is the one pure undivided consciousness underlying the
restless mind. It is composed of the whole universe in all its diversity."

"...the 'end of a world' never is and never can be anything but the end of an
illusion."
RENE GUENON: "The Reign of Quantity and The Signs of The Times" /1945; Sophia
Perennis, Hillsdale NY, 2004.
"...The two points of view, respectively 'benefic' and 'malefic', have been
spoken of earlier as if they were in some way symmetrical; but it is easy to
understand that they are nothing of the kind, and that the second signifies only
something that is unstable and transitory, whereas only that which the first
represents has a permanent and positive character, so that the 'benefic' aspect
cannot but prevail in the end, while the 'malefic' vanishes completely because
it was in reality only an illusion inherent in 'separativity'.
"Nevertheless, the truth is that it then becomes no longer proper to use the
word 'benefic' any more than the word 'malefic', for the two terms are
essentially correlative and cannot be properly used to indicate an opposition
when it no longer exists, for it belongs, like all oppositions, exclusively to a
particular relative and limited domain; as soon as the limits of that domain are
overstepped, there is only that which is, and which cannot be, or be other than
it is; and so it comes about that, if one does not stop short of the most
profound order of reality, it can be said in all truth that the 'end of a world'
never is and never can be anything but the end of an illusion."
"This whole universe has come into existence just to carry you to God
consciousness."

Sutras
The Heart of the Mystic
- quoted from "The Inner Life" by Hazrat Inayat Khan [Sufi]; Shambala Boston &
London, 1997.
"The life of a mystic... 'at night I pursue God, and during the day God follows
me.'
"...if one asks how a mystic, who has become so kind and helpful, gets on among
the crowd in everyday life, since the rough edges of everyday life rubbing
against him must necessarily make him heartsore, the answer is that they
certainly do, and the heart of a mystic is even more sore than anybody else.
"Where there is only kindness and patience all thorns will come. But just as the
diamond by being cut becomes brilliant so does the heart; and when the heart has
been sufficiently cut it becomes a flame which illumines not only the life of
the mystic, but also that of others."
Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan [1887-1927]
"...he informs them that he exists only in their minds."
India's Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Prize Laureate 1913, believed that people
must be able to live and reason in freedom. ...Tagore’s passion for freedom
underlies his firm opposition to unreasoned traditionalism, which makes one a
prisoner of the past (lost, as he put it, in "the dreary desert sand of dead
habit").
Tagore illustrates the tyranny of the past in his amusing yet deeply serious
parable 'Kartar Bhoot' ('The Ghost of the Leader'). As the respected leader of
an imaginary land is about to die, his panic-stricken followers request him to
stay on after his death to instruct them on what to do.
He consents. But his followers find their lives are full of rituals and
constraints on everyday behavior and are not responsive to the world around
them. Ultimately, they request the ghost of the leader to relieve them of his
domination, when he informs them that he exists only in their minds.
Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments ...
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit ...
from Rabindranath Tagore’s poem in Gitanjali

Ritual is The Reaction to Collapse in any Civilization Excerpted from Chris Hedges: 'The Myth of Human Progress'
“Societies in collapse often fall prey to the belief that if certain rituals are
performed all the bad stuff will go away,” the Canadian author Ronald Wright
said. “There are many examples of that throughout history. In the past these
crisis cults took hold among people who had been colonized, attacked and
slaughtered by outsiders, who had lost control of their lives.
"They see in these rituals the ability to bring back the past world, which they
look at as a kind of paradise. They seek to return to the way things were.
Crisis cults spread rapidly among Native American societies in the 19th century,
when the buffalo and the Indians were being slaughtered by repeating rifles and
finally machine guns. People came to believe, as happened in the Ghost Dance,
that if they did the right things the modern world that was intolerable—the
barbed wire, the railways, the white man, the machine gun—would disappear.”

Malati J. Shendge, who interprets the Rig Veda verses as the actual history of
the real people in the Indus Valley civilization, reconstructs the process of “mythopoeisation”
– meaning that these verses have been mistakenly turned in to myth:
“Originally the Rigveda hymns, in the limited context of the conflict of the
devas and asuras [who according the Malati J. Shendge are not at all gods and
demons, but rather simply two different opposing groups of historical people],
were meant to be taken in the (realistic) literal sense without any symbolism.
They describe the heroic deeds of their leader Indra [again not a deity, but a
historical person] and those who aided him in the conflict. After the conflict
was over, when the Aryans sought to make a religion out of the events of the
conflict, the process of mythopoeisation set in.”
Malati J. Shendge is here describing quite accurately the birth of any ritual,
yours and mine. “When the events became symbolic and were ascribed magical
powers to attain certain aims, the process of mythopoeisation was complete.
History was forgotten and dead ritual became the end in itself.”

Ravi Shankar [1920-2012]
Spontaneous Improvisation cannot be learned from any book.
The form of jazz that is improvised live is a rare spontaneous magic that
transports the heart and mind. I love and listen to Indian music for the same
reason. Improvisation is said to be the soul of Raga in Indian classical music.
The revered master of the sitar, Ravi Shankar taught that as much as 90 percent
of Indian music may be improvised and so very much depends on understanding the
spirit and nuances of the art.
"The unique aura of raga (one might say its soul) is its spiritual quality and
manner of expression, and this cannot be learned from any book."
ravishankar.org/
Perhaps the same tradition may be applied to understanding the Rig Veda. In the
spirit of the primordial metaphysics of Hinduism, all might benefit from fewer
warring scholars and politicians — and more deeper insight, meditation,
contemplation, and visionary revelations based in Union with the One, which is
what the Sanskrit word yoga means.
This was after all the method of the Rishis.

William Blake (1757-1827)
Grace / Epiphany
In the Satya Yuga we have no need for ritual, repetition, religious and economic
priest-craft. Would the genius artist and mystic William Blake have required
3,959 rules of grammar to write his poems? The greatest art, poetry, and music
are conceived in epiphanies, flashes of inspiration, moments of inner
connection, spontaneously, just as the greatest most sublime and elevating music
is improvised. True wisdom and knowledge comes spontaneously in the now from
within, just as Liberation from samsara
comes solely and inevitably from Grace. There is only the One!
100 BILLION ALIEN PLANETS FILL OUR MILKY WAY GALAXY!
Our Milky Way galaxy is home to at least 100 billion alien planets, and possibly
many more, a new study suggests. "It's a staggering number, if you think about
it," lead author Jonathan Swift, of Caltech in Pasadena, said in a statement.
"Basically there's one of these planets per star."
Swift and his colleagues arrived at their estimate after studying a five-planet
system called Kepler-32, which lies about 915 light-years from Earth. The five
worlds were detected by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, which flags the tiny
brightness dips caused when exoplanets cross their star's face from the
instrument's perspective.
"I usually try not to call things 'Rosetta stones,' but this is as close to a
Rosetta stone as anything I've seen," said co-author John Johnson, also of
Caltech. "It's like unlocking a language that we're trying to understand — the
language of planet formation." Full story

Oh, did you hear the one about ... "We are alone in the universe!"
Our Earth is one colonized planet of millions!
