Cosmic winds, light, echoes (video)

Amber Larson (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly; Nadia Drake (Phenomena, NatGeo, May 5, 2014)

Light echoes act as astronomical time machines or portals to the past.

On Earth, echoes are produced when sound waves bounce around like pinballs. In space, echoes are produced when light does the bouncing.

Just as sounds can echo -- so, too, can cosmic light. But instead of ricocheting off damp cavern walls, light traveling through the universe bounces off soft, dusty clouds.

 

Sometimes, this happens after an explosive event such a supernova. On Earth, most of the light we’d see from one of these exploding stars would have come directly here. But supernovas explode in three dimensions, sending light in all directions. Not all of that light is aimed toward Earth. If the geometry is right, some of the light... More
 

SUTRA: In the Sky

Nyanaponika Thera (trans.) Akasa Sutta (1) (SN 36.12); Dhr. Seven (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly

"In the sky, O meditators, various kinds of [solar, cosmic, magnetic] winds are blowing: winds from the east, west, north and south, winds carrying dust and winds without dust, winds hot and cold, gentle and fierce.

• ["Wind" or vayo (prana, chi, spiritus) is regarded as the source of movement, the invisible animating principle as it were, in the body.]

"Similarly, meditators, there arise in this body various kinds of feelings: pleasant feelings arise, painful feelings arise, and neutral feelings arise."

 

Illusion of expanding dust cloud (NASA/ESA/H.E.Bond)

Just as in the sky above winds of various kinds are blowing:

Coming from the east or west, moving from the north or south,

Some carry dust and others not, cold are some and others hot,

Some are fierce and others mild -- their varied moving style.

So also in this body here, feelings of different kind arise:

The pleasant feelings and the painful and the neutral ones.

But if a meditator is vigilant and persistent

To practice mindfulness and comprehension clear,

The nature of all feelings will one understand,

And having penetrated them, one will be taint-free in this very life.

Mature in knowledge, firm in Dharma's ways,

Then once one's lifespan ends, this body breaks,

 

And all measure and concept one has transcended.

[This last line is an allusion to nirvana.]

  Prāna (प्राण) is the Sanskrit word for "life force." In yoga, Oriental medicine, and martial arts, the term refers to a cosmic energy believed to come from the Sun (solar cosmic rays) and connecting the elements of the universe. The universal principle of energy or force, responsible for the body's movement, heat, life, and maintenance, prāna is the sum total of all [active] energy that is manifest in the universe. This life energy has been vividly invoked and described in Vedas. In Ayurveda, tantra, and Tibetan medicine "praṇā vāyu" is the basic vāyu (wind, air) from which all the other vāyus arise.

Mars, eclipsed Moon, Spica (CA)

The first Blood Moon eclipse in a series of a tetrad (four) is coming up on Tuesday, April 14-15, 2014. 

It falls on the night of the Buddhist uposatha (lunar observance). This total eclipse of the Moon, Chandra, will be visible from the Americas. 

The astronomy community had not heard the term "Blood Moon" used in quite this way before this year. But now the term is becoming widespread in the mainstream media. 

The waxing Moon, April 10 (earthsky.org)

The origin of the term is religious, at least according to Christian pastor John Hagee, who wrote a prophetic 2013 book about Blood Moons.

Meanwhile, both astronomers and some proponents of Christian prophesy are talking about the upcoming lunar tetrad -- the series of four total lunar eclipses -- beginning on the night of April 14-15. More

Why do Buddhists love the Moon? 

Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)

 

Under a Full Moon, Hsi Lai (WQ)

Why do Buddhists revere and admire the Moon instead of worshiping the Sun like everyone else? In an oppressively hot country like India, heat and light are in ample supply, whereas cool and contrast come at a premium. A moon is dazzling against a dark sky, but a sun saturates the sky and washes out its dazzling potential. Living far north of equatorial or tropical regions, it is the Sun -- Sol or Surya -- that becomes the most important. One worships the Sun to ensure that it returns and melts the snow, warms the ground, sprouts the seeds, and matures the plant life to eat. In the general darkness and gloom, heat and light become the most important things. Buddhists from warm places and well-lit latitudes, admiring yin, will continue to be cool and gentle and gleaming.

Look up, look up, and look out over the skies. It's what any eager astrophysicist would do, from the smoky skyline of New York to the chemtrail-laden skies of Los Angeles. From coast to coast, the host with the most is no longer Carl Sagan. Now the mantle is passed onto upstart Neil deGrasse Tyson, the telegenic Michio Kaku of all things space, a media darling who knows better than to step out of line and say anything daring or beyond the pale of the gatekeepers of academe. But he does a good job, and the kids will love to be drawn out of the misery down here into the mystery of worlds above. Minds may be expanded, but the status quo will not be questioned. Stephen Hawking and his new brain implant were not available to work on the show. Carl Sagan was, but the ChronoVision is not yet what it will one day be (just ask Andrew Basiago). As for "Cosmos," even Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane is on board, having brought the show to Fox TV. More (plus video)

Lost Civilizations: Cambodia, Egypt, Mexico...

Dhr. Seven, Dev, Wisdom Quarterly; Graham Hancock; Cambodia Channel

(Cambodia Channel) "In Search of the Lost Civilization" by Graham Hancock (3 episodes)

Khmer, Bayon temple, Angkor Wat (PKP)

"In Search of the Lost Civilization" with Graham Hancock features Cambodia's magnificent Angkor Wat Hindu then Buddhist temple complex, the center of an advanced jungle civilization of 1 million urban and suburban residents and a great Southeast Asian empire. It is compared to the untold treasures of dynastic Egypt, megalithic Mexico, underwater Japan, the Nazca Desert of Peru, Easter Island, Micronesia, and elsewhere.

What are the connection between Angkor Wat in the Cambodian jungle (formerly the seat of the great Khmer Empire), pyramids in the Egyptian desert, and stone monuments on Easter Island and in Micronesia?

Scanning Angkor Wat sites (livescience)

What is the underwater mystery of the stone complex in Japan? The last time it was above water was 10,000 years ago.

 

Our ancestors were certainly highly intelligent beings with technology excelling our own today. For thousands of years ago they precisely predicted a solar eclipse over Mexico that arrived in 1991.

Egypt destroyed by Aegean Sea Peoples

In this set of video recordings, writer Graham Hancock traverses the world and explains his controversial theory that an ancient civilization of highly intelligent people sailed or traversed the planet as early as 10,500 B.C. They spread advanced astronomical knowledge and built precise ancient observatories.
 

Angkor Thom, Cambodia (Dibattista)

Skeptics may scoff, but Hancock points out similarities in giant stone structures in the Egyptian desert and Cambodian jungle, and on Easter Island and in Micronesia. He points out evidence of an ancient society of seafarers. His proposals seem utterly bizarre at first, but he presents them in an understated way making use of clever computer graphics and aerial photography to illustrate the startling similarities in ancient structures found from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific.

Buddhism and Time Travel (sutra)

Dhr. Seven, Amber Dorrian, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly (SPECULATION)

A Buddha figure encased in one of many inexplicable bell-shaped stupas, Borobudur, Indonesia, the largest Buddhist site in world (Wisdom Quarterly)

 

We know of no sutra directly bearing on the subject of time travel, although space travel to the akasha deva loka ("space world of shining ones") is frequently met with in both directions, Sakka to Earth and the Buddha and monastics to many "celestial" worlds [like the Buddha, Maha Moggallana, and other disciples going into near Earth orbit and battling a reptilian or naga named Nandopananda). But there is one oddity we never stop pointing out: 

 

During WW II the Germans developed a time travel "bell" (Die Glocke), which just happens to look exactly like the strange hollow stupas, reliquary mounds or "bells" housing Buddha figures at the largest Buddhist site in the world -- Borobudur, Central Java, Indonesia -- with its massive, pyramid-like platforms. The structure is the size of a mountain in what is now an Islamic.

 

What was the purpose of this mega structure?

So marvelous and inexplicable to the Muslims was this site that they tried to destroy it but could not. Nor could they build anything to rival it; they simply did not have the technology. Instead, they buried it in a massive pile of mud. More than a century later, when the British archeologists were surveying the site, one realized that there was no way there could be a "mountain" there. He had his workers dig, and he is credited with rediscovering a Buddhist temple complex larger than the massive pieces in Bamiyan, Afghanistan (although the unexcavated Mes Aynak site may rival Borobudur, but if Chinese mining interests have their way, it will be destroyed first) and Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

Hitler out for a propaganda photo op

The Germans were given off-planet instructions on how to construct a transporter, which they dubbed "The Bell" (Die Glocke), and tested it. They sent it into the future and retrieved, weather beaten a short time later. What else they did is kept top secret by the OSI, CIA, NASA, and other American organizations which inherited and protected German scientists after the war, such as Robert Oppenheimer and Nazi Wernher von Braun.

It is interesting that from Central Asia (Afghanistan, to India (Ajanta, Ellora, Sanchi) to Sri Lanka to Western China (Yulin, Kizil, Mogao, Dunhuang in Gansu, Bingling), Buddhism is characterized by temples and monastic cave complexes built into solid rock and cliff sides with a technology we do not understand to this day. It can be credited to visitors from space (akasha devas), much in the way that those advanced humanoid beings erected super-antiquated monolithic sites all over the world: Egypt, Stonehenge, Avebury, Petra (Jordan), Adam's Calendar (Africa), Antarctica, Sumer (Babylon), and mounds all across the USA as well as the mystery Egyptian caverns/Buddhist temples of the Grand Canyon.

The Light Being in Space

Wisdom Quarterly translation based on Ven. Thanissaro (Rohitassa Sutta, AN 4.45; SN 2.26) 

Space or akasha deva loka (Wiki)

Once the Blessed One [the Buddha, who was known as the Teacher of Devas and Humans] was staying near Savatthi, in Jeta's Grove, at Anathapindika's monastery. Then the male deva Rohitassa, late at night, with his splendid radiance lighting up the entire grove, went to the Blessed One, bowed, respectfully stood to one side, and asked:

"Venerable sir, is it possible by traveling to know or see or reach the far end of the universe where one does not undergo rebirth, aging, dying, passing away, or reappearing?"
 
"I tell you, friend, that it is not possible by traveling to know or see or reach the far end of the universe where one does not undergo rebirth, aging, dying, passing away, or reappearing."
 

Future Buddha, Ladakh (Sahil Vohra/flickr)

"It is amazing, venerable sir, it is awe-inspiring, how well this has been said by the Blessed One! ...Once I was a seer (Indian rishi, yogi) named Rohitassa, a disciple of [the Guru] Bhoja, a powerful sky-walker. My speed was as fast as that of a strong archer -- well-trained, a practiced hand, a practiced sharp-shooter -- shooting a light arrow across the shadow of a palm tree. [This is a common idiom to illustrate extreme speed in ancient India, the time it would take a shot arrow to pass the shadow of a tree.] My stride stretched as far as the East Sea is from the West [the width of India]. To me, endowed with such speed, such a stride, there arose the desire: 'I will go traveling to the end of the universe.'

"I with a 100 year life, a 100 year span spent 100 years traveling. And apart from the time spent eating, drinking, savoring, urinating, defecating, and sleeping to ward off weariness. But without reaching the end of the universe, I died along the way. So it is amazing, venerable sir, it is awesome, how well this has been said by the Blessed One!"
 

Golden Buddhist altar (BuddhistTrainTour)

[The Buddha replied:] "I tell you, friend, that it is not possible by traveling to know or see or reach the far end of the universe... But at the same time, I tell you that there is no making an end of disappointment and suffering without reaching the end of the universe (world). It is just within this fathom-long body, with its perception and intellect, that I declare that:

1. there is the universe (world), 
2. the origination of the universe,
3. the cessation of the universe, and
4. the path of practice leading to the cessation of the universe." [This is another wording of the ennobling Four Noble Truths.]

"It is not to be reached by traveling [in space]. AND it is not without reaching the end of the universe that there is release from disappointment and suffering. 

 

"So truly the wise one, an expert with regard to the cosmos, a knower of the end of the cosmos, having fulfilled the holy life, calmed, knowing the cosmos' end, doesn't long for this cosmos or for any other." (See also AN 9.38).

Buddha iterations (moni-pics)

More and more individuals are coming forward to report their personal experience -- either from secret government (military-industrial complex/CIA) service or coming back from a future able to travel for leisure or to conduct missions, as explained by "Michael."

This self-report evidence dates back from 1997. Can anyone currently believe in time travel? Some can: Stewart A. Swerdlow (Montauk Project, Philadelphia Experiment, contactee), Andrew D. Basiago, Esq. (Project Pegasus, future U.S. president, Mars teleporting), Al Bielek, Bruce Goldberg, John Titor, Brett Stillings, Laura Eisenhower, Courtney Hunt, Barry (Soetoro) Obama, and countless abducted orphans and G.I.s ("government issue," expendable soldiers) including those lost in a "time well" in an Afghan cave, as widely reported.
 

Our universe (loka) is very strange.

After hearing the late night radio show linked at the end of this video (see below), everyone may become a believer, no matter how hard it is to believe or think about, because this caller speaks of his dimensional time travel craft, and host Bell is taking the caller very seriously.

Before watching the video of the original call, it may be instructive to research the following Black Op (hidden budget) projects: 1. Operation Black Opera, 2. Operation Black Swan, and 3. Operation Southern Cross.

Part 1 is the first call by "Michael." Part 2 is a follow up call a month
later but placed just a few minutes later after time traveling to it.

 

This is not the man who called into Art Bell crying, saying he worked at Area 51 and was going to be eliminated by government agents or "Men in Black." The two sound nothing alike. This is from an interview in 1997 on Coast to Coast with the original host Art Bell (not the current apparatchik George Noory). Michael the time traveler calls in claiming to be a from the year 2037.

"There are no Black Holes" - Stephen Hawking

Editors, Wisdom Quarterly; Heather Saul, Independent.co.uk; Krista Tippett (Teilhard de Chardin on The "Planetary Mind" and Our Spiritual Evolution, Jan. 23, 2014)

What do a fiction writer and an astrophysicist have in common? Marilynne Robinson and Marcelo Gleiser connect the dots between the cosmos, our minds, and all the ways we discover the story of where we came from (onbeing).

  

Stephen Hawking has produced a “mind-bending” new theory that argues black holes do not actually exist -- at least not in the way we currently perceive them.

Instead, in his paper, Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes, Hawking proposes that black holes can exist without “event horizons,” the invisible cover believed to surround every black hole.

Rude Prof. Hawking gets proof of black holes - Trisha Takanawa, Quahog News ("Family Guy")

During a previous lecture, “Into the Black Hole,” Hawkins described an event horizon as the boundary of a black hole, “where gravity is just strong enough to drag light back, and prevent it escaping.”

 

“Falling through the event horizon, is a bit like going over Niagara Falls in a canoe,” he said. “If you are above the falls, you can get away if you paddle fast enough, but once you are over the edge, you are lost. There's no way back.

 

Fake Buddha quote (H.koppdelaney/flickr)

“As you get nearer the falls, the current gets faster. This means it pulls harder on the front of the canoe, than the back. There's a danger that the canoe will be pulled apart. It is the same with black holes.”
 
But now Hawking is proposing “apparent horizons” could exist instead, which would only hold light and information temporarily before releasing them back into space in “garbled form,” Nature has reported.
 
The internationally-renowned theoretical physicist suggests that quantum mechanics and general relativity remain intact, but black holes do not have an event horizon to catch fire. More

The akasha-deva Semjase

Project Camelot (PC) met Jessica Schab at the NEXUS Conference in Australia in October 2008. She was in tears at the end of PC presentation and said that she had to talk. A young Australian had seen her YouTube post and sponsored her trip from Vancouver, B.C. to Brisbane, Australia.

Realizing that it might be interesting and valuable to many, PC interviewed her as a "crystal child," a witness representing a new and very awakened generation. Like others (indigo children, starseeds, etc.) she is well informed, deeply concerned about world events, and very aware of the need for humankind to grow spiritually in order to transcend the problems we face together.

 

Lilou Mace follows up with Jessica Schab in 2011

Lilou Mace's Juicy Living Tour goes to Toronto, Canada in August 2011 and talks to Schab. "Soul archeology" is going inside to find our beautiful treasures of truth to live off of the abundance of our joy (like the luminous beings in the Ābhassara deva worlds, described by the Buddha, who feed on delight). We do what we love and live free because truth-wealth frees us. Even as the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming. If we tell the truth, we don't have to remember anything. We have immortal longings. (She interviewed and posted her talk with government time traveler Andrew Basiago, future US president, prior to his first appearance on Coast to Coast. See below).

 

Earth-deva Jessica Schab, (JessicaMystic.com)

In this 50-minute video, she speaks openly and emotionally about her personal journey, her family, and some of the bewildering other-dimensional, extraterrestrial encounters she has experienced.

Her weaknesses are her dyslexia and that she has not yet fully integrated her many experiences and perceptions. 

Human-deva Jessica Schab, crystal child

Her strengths are her openness and her determination to bring a message of unity to those who can hear it from her. She sees herself as a newly arrived teacher and messenger.
 
Like most of us she still has a long way to go in her journey, with much to learn. But this is why most of us are here. Many of us choose to help one others as best we can.

True events at shapeshifter Sherman ranch

We are conditioned to laugh and ridicule at so much as the possibility that the Earth is, or has ever been, visited by intelligent extraterrestrials.

Although millions of people have seen UFO craft and reported their sightings, very deliberate government propaganda campaigns have us all dismissing such reports out of hand. It is all nonsense and conspiratorial, something only yokels see and never have evidence to substantiate. 

UFOs (ET craft) in ancient India: vimanas

However, what is really happening is a suppression of evidence and the simultaneous over-exposure of frivolous reports, hoaxes, and strategic distractions.

At one time, according to researcher Robert Morningstar (UFODigest.com), the US had to convince the USSR that Americans did not believe in UFOs. This was because such objects were appearing and being tracked all over Russia. Russians suspected that they were in fact futuristic American technology. 

(History Channel) "Russia's Roswell" at the secret Cold War era military base Kapustin Yar

What Big Business wants, that's what we do...

Psychological warfare led our secretive government to convince Russia that it had no involvement as Americans did not believe in such things. Disinformation was deployed to ensure that. This happened in spite of the Roswell incident in New Mexico, USA, in 1947 and the day after (and "Mexico's Roswell" in 1974, Canada's Roswell in 1967, Russia's Roswell in 1948, Brazil's Roswell in 1977, Britain's Roswell in 1980) and the bringing down of similar craft then reverse engineering the technology aboard.

National reports (ufocenter.com)

There are in fact many groups with various purposes, some beneficent others artificial and maleficent. Yet how we view them depends so much on our government, its mainstream media partners, and our conditioning. We can laugh, but since truth is much stranger than fiction, we choose to investigate. Everyone else will come to believe when the military-industrial complex wants them to. And it's a safe bet that that will be for self-serving purposes.
