It's not as simple as having one's cultural conformity (or non conformity) as a stumbling block - my worldview actually sits well with yours. - Problem is, modestly speaking, while I could learn a thing or 2 from u when it comes to evincing rhetorical head, I do think that in this instant I'm not up to the task. What with Marius's great great uncle Vlad the Impaler who was known to drive 6 inch nails into the space between the brows of unsuspecting satsang leeches ... I'd rather turn to you for amity, lenity, tea and sympathy.

2013-12-29T18:02:18.863+00:00

I'm sure Marius would welcome another smartass - who could lovingly give rhetorical head on the subjects of karma, vedanta etc etc. Why don't you truck along and wave your cultural conformity at the assembled throng?

Rings a bell, he's he the one to use the alias Maruti (the Carpathian?) I heard this guy possesses the rare gift to penetrate a seeker's deepest underlying vasanas - suggest therapeutic mantras - and snuff out the urge to seek .... His Transylvanian ashram attracts those who expressly mock karma, vedanta, advaita etc etc. But applicants must be willing to submit to a subliminal probe, which Marius conducts with stunning results!

There is a young man from Romania called Marius.I heard today that,in a rather unobtrusive way,he is holding meetings("satsangs")at his place.Anyone has been there?Any comments?

Dear Chi Ting Master:

Here is something I saw on the Varieties of Karma

What do we mean, exactly, by the terms good karma and bad karma? There is good karma as well as bad, though we say there is no good nor bad--only experience. Still, some karmas are more difficult to bear, experience and re-experience than others. This is where it is extremely important to inhibit the tendencies to let loose the forces that externalize awareness, while at the same time performing the sadhana of realizing the Source through internalizing awareness. It is this constant pull between the inner and the outer, or individual awareness soaring back and forth between the externalities and internalities, that keeps churning the fiery forces of karma into the smoldering coals of dharma. Good karma is denoted by good merit, since every cause has its due effect. Therefore, so-called bad karma brings injury, pain, misunderstanding and anguish, which when suffered through completes the cycle.

Ancient yogis, in psychically studying the timeline of cause and effect, assigned three categories to karma. The first is sanchita, the sum total of past karma yet to be resolved. The second category is prarabdha, that portion of sanchita karma being experienced in the present life. Kriyamana, the third type, is karma you are presently creating. However, it must be understood that your past negative karma can be altered into a smoother, easier state through the loving, heart-chakra nature, through dharma and sadhana. That is the key of karmic wisdom. Live religiously well and you will create positive karma for the future and soften negative karma of the past.

Right knowledge, right decision and right action imperceptively straighten out, unkink and unwind ignorantly devised or contrived past actions. The key word is reform. Re-form, re-make, re-cast. To put into a molten state and be reformed is what happens to our karma when we enter dharma. Adharma is creating karma, good, not so good, terrible, mixed and confused. Dharma reforms all of this--reshapes and molds, allowing the devotee to do good and think good, to be clearly perceptive. Putting all the karma in a molten state is bhakti. Happy karma, sad karma, bad karma, when consciously or unconsciously wanted to be held onto, inhibits bhakti. Bhakti brings grace, and the sustaining grace melts and blends the karmas in the heart. In the heart chakra the karmas are in a molten state. The throat chakra molds the karmas through sadhana, regular religious practices. The third-eye chakra sees the karmas, past, present and future as a singular oneness. And the crown chakra absorbs, burns clean, enough of the karmas to open the gate, the Door of Brahman, revealing the straight path to merging with Siva.

2013-12-19T23:01:06.334+00:00

One movement in this universe goes outwards and becomes fixated on achievement and the transcendent goal of enlightenment. This movement runs against nature and the body and is a type of mental illness. The whole of society is founded on it. The other movement naturally returns and has no interest in any goal - being simply the embodiment of the way of nature. All seekers, naysayers, enlightened ones, teachers, anti-teachers, gurus, New Agers, religions and people interested in systems, beliefs, philosophy and spirituality are powered by the first movement. We have yet to see man to evolve to the level where he even knows about the second.

2013-12-19T22:42:07.776+00:00

Dear Neerav - I completely understand. Advaita is so obviously a political, shambolic synthesis of Hindu beliefs, it's hard to believe anyone could fall for it. But don't fall for Zen or Madhyamaka either. Even Madhyamaka - which is not even a philosophy but a tool for dissolving conceptual awareness - is still a method which aims to bring about enlightenment. These approaches are very shortsighted. Once you believe in such a thing as enlightenment in the first place, you are lost.

2013-12-19T22:32:39.061+00:00

In the past Silence was the tool of occult forces: the religionists' advice to keep silence makes one implode inwardly allowing direct access for disembodied energies and possession. You only have to look at what is going on in Saradamma's Paradise Garden to see that severe mental illness is the result of such advice. The Silence that comes with no ripple on the surface is never engineered or invited. It was a common political ploy in ancient times to claim transcendent authority by keeping silent while getting others to do your dirty work for you. others would bow down in fear before such a manipulator - and that was always the desired outcome.

You also believe in idiotic nonsense like karma! So I don't think I'll be taking any advice from you ...

There's no absolute truth, only personal truth - and that's just an opinion - which you will develop, revise, then drop many, many times.

2013-12-19T14:57:10.958+00:00

Neo Advaita will come back again and again and again. In a single session you can claim a tap on the head as your awakening plus you'll have a clever argument as to why all the others are not enlightened and you are - because there's no such thing. It's invincible: the ultimate supremacy for abusers, addicts and emotional cripples who refuse to take responsibility for anything.

2013-12-19T12:08:57.297+00:00

Aaawwwhh! Chi Ting Master:

IMO What you need is a break. In Hinduism, we go on pilgrimage or chant, do a puja at home or go to a temple. Plain meditation, with no continuing source of energy, will become dry. Not every one is a Ramana. Even Ramana had Arunachala feeding him energy.

Of course, I dont think the Chi Ting master is doing any meditation at all either! Hee! Hee!!

Go on a pilgrimage Chi Ting Master. You will feel better.

Jeff Foster stopped writing to me after we wrote Rise of the Clones. Tony Parsons is doing his thing in Hampstead every month plus his gigs around europe - and Bentinho is making a nest for himself and his beach babe in Boulder.

2013-12-18T23:04:12.531+00:00

I honestly prefer Zen and Middle Way Buddhism over the Absolutist spiritual teachings like Advaita Vedanta, that does not give two licks for the Relative world, because it is "unreal" or "an illusion". What nonsense, making us lazy, complacent and even indifferent towards the suffering in the world!!!

2013-12-18T23:00:54.150+00:00

Chi-Ting Master:

Have you heard anything new on Neo-Advaita and their teachers like Jeff Foster, Bentinho Massaro, Tony Parsons, etc... I know for certain that right now, Neo-Advaita is on the downfall, and will cease to exist in a few years, it looks like. Thanks, my friend. Namaste!

Sister Klaus est mort. Richard Clarke is a fat troll. Meenakshi Mami is manic and mad. Mooji has not turned up yet but who knows if he will spring a surprise visit, his website is being very coy about his activities. And I am deeply bored of the headfuck circus that is planet advaita!

Chi-Ting Master:
Come one give us something new. What is happening in Tiru? Did Mooji come?
How is Sister Klaus? how is Richard Clarke? how is Meenakshi Mami? How is the Chi ting master?

2013-12-18T13:41:16.963+00:00

Desmond Decker you've got a point .... that same itching sensation that assails you is also responsible for an individual to broadcast a spiritual experience which can only be uniquely felt by him. The forfeiture stems from that itch of trying to impart the unimpartable. And now Kevji, will you please pass me that back scratcher at the end of a rod as I'm about to be overcome yet again by that funny itch - just to the left of my fifth vertebrae,a repository of many and varied spiritual experiences!

Chi-Ting Master what do you make of the silent teacher Dakshinamurthi - how can silence be patented? Apparently it worked for some!

Life cannot be patented and put in a can for mass consumption - when someones teaches "The Way" you can guarantee it's dead as a dodo!

2013-12-17T21:04:49.488+00:00

It's all unique, isn't it? Whatever a person's experience "spiritually" -- enlightenment, awakening, insight, whatever -- it's pertinent to the experiencer's perspective only, informs and teaches them only. And when they start trying to teach others "their" way, all it can accomplish is the production of psycho-spiritual clones who have forfeited their own unique possibility.
Does that sound about right to you, Kevin? I haven't expressed this idea before. Guess I'm itching for some feedback...
