One of the most delightful stories I have heard about developing the powers of concentration comes from a wonderful book called Beyond Words by Swami Satchidananda. In his story , a man asks a sorcerer to produce a demon that will do anything he wants. The sorcerer agrees, but warns the man that if he does not keep the demon busy, it will devour…[Read more]

The rendering for the Hebrew “ben adam,” applied to mankind in general, as opposed to and distinct from non-human relationship; expressing also the larger, unlimited implications of humanity as differentiated from limited (e.g., national) forms and aspects of human life. Thus, contrasted with the “sons of God” (“bene Elohim”) are the “daughters of…[Read more]

Let us now place the whole event before ourselves as an initiation. Jesus loved Lazarus (John 11:36). This indicates no ordinary affection. The latter would be contrary to the spirit of John’s Gospel, in which Jesus is the “Word.” Jesus loved Lazarus because he found him ready for the awakening of the “Word” within him. Jesus was connected wit…[Read more]

Christian martyrs were usually tried and killed by hostile forces. The majority of the monks I shall discuss terminated their lives voluntarily although at least one was executed.

Sorry, but I don’t think that my comment anyway disturbs Healing Tao as a business.

If one is interested about kriya yoga one should understand that like with certain Daoist practices there is real difference with beginner’s practice and then those practices which become after those.

But “this is more than just a data center,” says one senior intelligence official who until recently was involved with the program. The mammoth Bluffdale center will have another important and far more secret role that until now has gone unrevealed. It is also critical, he says, for breaking codes. And code-breaking is crucial, because much of the…[Read more]

James A. Bennfs first monograph begins with a spectacular death. In the year 527, after a series of striking miracles (rays of light, augural wonders, and numinous vapors), the monk Daodu “¹“x strikes a chime, recites verses on emptiness, and burns himself to death. His remains are honored, placed in a sacred reliquary by the local ruler, and a l…[Read more]

Male and female pigeons (or cocks and hens), can often be distinguished without surgery or genetic testing, by way of visual differences in characteristics as well as behavioral differences.
A pigeon fancier might be able to tell the sex of a pigeon by sight, as pigeons can be identified by a number of physical characteristics like head, beak,…[Read more]

However, their first meeting didn’t start off well. A young couple had just married and Gilgamesh was on his way to their home to take up his droit de seigneur. However, Enkidu blocked the doorway ‘like a boulder’. Gilgamesh got angry, there was a fight of epic proportions (lots of grappling and limbs intertwined). Although he won, Gilgamesh’s ang…[Read more]

Other phrases used to describe this include musical imagery repetition and involuntary musical imagery. The phenomenon is common in normal life and so may be distinguished from brain damage that results in palinacousis. The word…[Read more]

In my opinion best way it might help, might be to learn right way to exercise with one’s own voice.

Even if one would have a healthy voice to start with; that is vocal cords are ok as well as ears, lips, tongue and so on, one still would make also very simple exercises like holding single notes, both high/low notes, testing dynamics in…[Read more]

To my knowledge, Dee and Kelley never used the word Enochian to describe the system of magick they received between April 10 and July 13, 1584. Throughout their actions, they simply referred to it as angelic. We cannot, however, be faulted too badly attaching the biblical patriarch’s name to the system. The magician’s were told that this was the…[Read more]

The ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the Earth’s ecosystems. It is a standardized measure of demand for natural capital that may be contrasted with the planet’s ecological capacity to regenerate. It represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area necessary to supply the resources a human population consumes,…[Read more]
