Our realm is very corruptible and humans excel at corruption, I wanted to discuss some observations I have had.

Tao Sex Chakra Biodanza

I have happened to be attended a local Biodanza class for several months when I noticed that the organisers in trying to attract more people started to make big claims that this class could cure every ailment of the body or heart, and also to associate the class with “the chakras”, Tao, Zen, Advaita and whatnot.

Of course the teachers know precisely zero about these things and having been in one or two of these sexed up classes I felt some pain when various “ideas” where trickled into the Biodanza class.

The monkey-people love to communicate, they have heard about something that’s supposedly “Big” like “Tao” and feel pretty sure that if they use the “Big” word then some sort of trickle down magic is going to happen.

When we look into the world there are so many people claiming so many things that it is very confusing. And one must learn how to navigate and test the integrity of these claims.

I am sure that the monkey-people having done a class of Chakra-Biodanza feel themselves confident and deserving to sit right on the pointy top of Mount Kailash itself.

Likewise in many “Big” piligrimmage places all manner of nut balls arrive, various type of nuts from those smacking their heads on the ground 108 times every hour, to more freeflowing West Coast nuts.

I suppose they also heard something “Big” was happening there, and maybe if they hang around it will happen to them too.

Saprophytes

I am frequently amazed that the mice dead from the poison-bait I leave in the attic disappear after about a week. Where do they go ? Certainly they are not walking out and going straight.

Earth is full of little creatures and bugs that eat dead stuff and reprocess them into the food chain.

I suppose the nut balls have their place on the energy feeding scale, and are processing what is at their level.

It is quite interesting to think of spiritual teachers and holy centres as reservoirs or emitters of energy and what goes on around them as various types of feeding that occurs.

Much like a lake in Africa where all the different animals come to feed, first on the lake, then on each other.

Man Being with The Woman

I actually enjoy the idea of being with a woman when it’s not associated to marriage, “relatinoships”, drama, demands, house prices. It’s just nice to sit in the same room. It’s some sort of energy exchange.

That must be what we are, energy beings, exchanging, processing, emitting, consuming.

2nd Generation Disciples

Another form of corruption I can illustrate with the creation of the United Nations after WW2. Those who initiated the organisation had lived through a gruelling war watching some of their families and friends die. They were more or less sincere and agreed to be nice and behave. And their disciples (the next generation) where directly influenced by the initiators and also agreed to be well-behaved.

But then the 2nd generation arrive, and the initiators start dying out, and then people arrive for very different reasons.

They too think something “Big” was happening there and maybe “I” can be it. But there is no contact any more with the intial spirit or Light.

Same thing happens reliably with the passing of spiritual teachers and their students.

Self-Initiation

And then there’s the fact the students of a teacher very rarely reach the same heights as the teacher. Feeding off a plate is a different kettle of fish, then being a spiritual comet.

Strategies

Well, seeing this is how things are certain strategies can be employed.

One of my personal favourite which I am sure the universe associates with me personally is to shake the tree really hard and see what falls out.

Ha. It’s not always popular with those that I shake !

Another way is to read the life of the man before you read his “teaching”. His life is his teaching, really. And if you want to be like him, then be like him … follow his footsteps.

Yet another strategy when faced with a choice of cakes at the deli, is to choose all of them. Otherwise how are you gonna know ?

And the proof of any pudding is in the eating, not the talking.

Eventually if you look very closely at the face of the teacher, you can tell a lot about him, you can feel a lot. You can also look at the faces of those seated around him … but don’t hold that against him, it’s the nature of the beast.

Ploughing Under

Farmers do a thing where they turn over the Earth after the crops are harvested. And the universe does the same thing … after a spiritual source has grown, shone, and fallen, it is ploughed under. It is the nature of this realm.

Light is a living thing, it can only be extended so far after death.

The seasons are part of this universe, this churning, cycling, never let’s anything in peace. How many are ploughed under from the common cold every Winter ?

It can hone you, or it can take you.

The Tao will reach it’s purpose with you or without you.
