A WARNING TO THE WISE geneticrejuv...

Indeed, we deal
with a delicate topic, concerning the security of all, both
temporally and spiritually. Officially, by the application
of "intentioning", this group steers clear of any personal
entanglements. This "intentioning" means that we try to instil a
positive self-evaluation into the "fallen".

For instance, I baby-sit a child with a bad behavior disorder. I
learned that scolding her only made her conduct worse. So I began
trying to forget her past misconduct, ignoring her present rascally
contrariness, and praising her good conduct, even if it really was
not so good. It seemed to improve her much better than admonishment.
Instead of complaining about the past and present actions of church,
state, and the global population, try "positive reinforcement".

Instead of, as in the Book of the Revelation of John, doomsaying
their future, try the "psychocybernetics" of how well they might
improve their lot. Those who were once, and possibly still are, our
antagonists, are possibly getting an excellent "intelligence
briefing" from us - even better than Hal Lindsey's TV series, "The
International Intelligence Briefing", since theology is not
Hal's "long suit".

With positive encouragement, perhaps one day church, state and
populace will "bring us out of the cold and into the foal" of the New
World Order and its mandate for Nuclear Disarmament and Environmental
Cleanup. A pity the U.S. and its administration is "dragging their
heels" to comply with the Environmental Agreements of Kyoto. The
darkness of this "spiritual desert" is as if we are prisoners,
serving out our sentences on this planet, for having once betrayed
the "Higher Principles" upon which survival and lasting contentment
are based. Let's all do better, OK? Jai Om. - Sw. Tantrasangha

Soma Pavamana means "Moon Pure Mother-Water". Mana also means
food, and is identified with the Biblical Manna from Heaven. The
ancient commentary on the Rig Veda, The Satapatha Brahmana (True Path
of the Priest), states: "Soma is urine. Soma is seed." The Rig Veda
is India's oldest scripture, dating to approx. 2,000 BC. Sai Ram

BETWEEN PERSECUTERS AND THE BLIND

Subject: Re: Comment on Army Survival and Urine
It is like trying to explain war to someone who hasn't been
there, while coping with the fact that they don't care, and you are
on your own, with experiences so alien to others they can't relate to
them. Environment and society are important, as mentioned in the
Hatha Yoga Pradipka. Buddha's revolution was to get rid of idols and
gods and get down to Salvation, which he felt would be difficult
without a monastic commune for that purpose. This especially applies
to the practice of Rasa Tantra, which is generally not accepted in
the world of today and, when called to task about it, the people are
quite vehement. I don't think we worry about it, but it does
represent a danger, as experience has taught us, which the naive
refuse to acknowledge. Just like in war, the medic tries to save a
buddy and gets his head blown off for his brave and selfless effort,
with few memories of him thereafter and no "thank you's" for his
sacrifice. Has his love and courage been betrayed? Is this similar to
what happenned to Jesus? Sai Ram

TYPES OF SALVATION

Subject: Different Types of Salvation
I want the members to review the messages about psychedelic
entheogens. Since most of us will never have a chance to practice
Tantra, I recommended plants which could open the third eye to Inner
Sight. In previous messages, I explained the importance of
familiarizing one's self with the After Death Dimensions. In the Nag
Hammadi Gospels, Jesus explains the importance of this, as did Paul
Twitchell in his books about Eckankar. As Jesus said: "When thine eye
is single, thy whole body will be filled with Light".

Nevertheless, many have been harmed by psychedelics. Even Kundalini
Shakti or Holy Spirit can be harmful to the unready, which fact is
mentioned in scriptures at least twice that I know of. It is no doubt
a rough road to Spiritual Liberation, of which there are two main
types: One is purely spiritual, as in the Shakti Pat given by a
Master Siddha, or even by psychedelics. The other is both spiritual
and physical - to be Reborn of water and spirit, through the Marriage
Supper or Rasa Tantra. The latter is the one which confers Liberation
from all eight Sufferings. Interestingly, it may be easier to escape
the Round (Samsara) of Reincarnations by achieving Immortality in the
PHYSICAL body instead of the spiritual one. Om Mani Padma Hummmm..

RASA TANTRA IN YASNA 38 OF THE ZEND AVESTA

The following is from the Yasna of the Avesta. Zoroaster is but the
Greek rendering of Zarathustra.
YASNA 38 - TO THE EARTH AND THE SACRED WATERS.
----------------------------------------------
1. And now we worship this earth which bears us, together with
Thy wives, O Ahura Mazda!
yea, those Thy wives do we worship which are so desired from their
sanctity. 2. We sacrifice
to their zealous wishes, and their capabilities, their inquiries (as
to duty), and their wise acts of
pious reverence, and with these their blessedness, their full vigor
and good portions, their
good fame and ample wealth. 3. O ye waters! now we worship you, you
that are showered
down, and you that stand in pools and vats, and you that bear forth.
(our loaded vessels?) ye
female Ahuras of Ahura, you that serve us (all) in helpful ways, well
forded and full-flowing,
and effective for the bathings, we will seek you and for both the
worlds! 4. Therefore did
Ahura Mazda give you names, O ye beneficent ones! when He who made
the good bestowed
you. And by these names we worship you, and by them we would
ingratiate ourselves with
you, and with them would we bow before you, and direct our prayers to
you with free
confessions of our debt. O waters, ye who are productive, and ye
maternal ones, ye with heat
that suckles the (frail and) needy (before birth), ye waters (that
have once been) rulers of (us)
all, we will now address you as the best, and the most beautiful;
those (are) yours, those good
(objects) of our offerings, ye long of arm to reach our sickness, or
misfortune, ye mothers of
our life!

THE AVESTA, YASNA 65-68

YASNA 65 - TO ARDVI SURA ANAHITA, AND THE WATERS.
-------------------------------------------------
1. I will praise the water Ardvi Sura Anahita, the efficacious
against the Daevas, devoted to
Ahura's lore, and to be worshipped with sacrifice within the
corporeal world, furthering all
living things (?) and holy, helping on the increase and improvement
of our herds and
settlements, holy, and increasing our wealth, holy, and helping on
the progress of the
Province, holy (as she is)? 2. (Ardvi Sura Anahita) who purifies the
seed of all male beings,
who sanctifies the wombs of all women to the birth, who makes all
women fortunate in labor,
who brings all women a regular and timely flow of milk, (3) (Ardvi
Sura Anahita) with a
volume sounding from afar, which is alone equal in its bulk to all
the waters which flow forth
upon earth, which flows down with mighty volume from high Hukairya to
the sea Vouru-
kasha. 4. And all the gulfs in Vouru-kasha are stirred (when it falls
down), all the middle doth
well up when Ardvi Sura Anahita rushes in, when she plunges foaming
into them, she, whose
are a thousand tributaries, and a thousand outlets, and each as it
flows in, or rushes out, is a
forty days' ride in length to a rider mounted well.
5. And the (chief) outlet to this one water (Ardvi Sura Anahita)
goes apart, dividing to all the
seven Karshvars. And this outlet to my river, Ardvi Sura Anahita,
bears off its water always
in summer and in winter. This my river purifies the seed of men, and
wombs of women, and
women's milk.
6. Let the saints' Fravashis now draw near, those of the saints
who live, or have lived, of those
born, or yet to be born; yea, let them come near which have borne
these waters up stream
from the nearest ones (that lie below as the outlet pours away) 7.
Let not our waters be for
the man of ill intent, of evil speech, or deeds, or conscience; let
them not be for the offender
of a friend, not for an insulter of a Magian, nor for one who harms
the workmen, nor for one
who hates his kindred. And let not our good waters (which are not
only good, but) best, and
Mazda-made, help on the man who strives to mar our settlements which
are not to be
corrupted, nor him who would mar our bodies, (our) uncorrupted
(selves), (8) nor the thief, or
bludgeon-bearing ruffian who would slaughter the disciples, nor a
sorcerer, nor a burrier of
dead bodies, nor the jealous, nor the niggard, nor the godless
heretic who slays disciples, nor
the evil tyrant among men. Against these may our waters come as
torments. As destructive
may these come (?), may they come to him who has done those first
(foul evils), as to him
who does the last.
9. O waters! rest still within your places while the invoking
priest shall offer.
Shall not the invoker make offering to these good waters, and with
the inculcated words?
(And how shall this be done?) Shall he not be tongue-fettered, if he
offers else than with the
ritual? Shall (not) the words be so delivered as the Aethrapaiti
teaches? Where shall the
blessings be (inserted)? Where the supplications with confessions?
Where the gifts of those
that offer? 10. (It shall be only thus) as Ahura Mazda showed before
to Zarathushtra, and as
Zarathushtra taught the corporeal worlds (the men on earth)! Thou
shalt pray the first
petition to the waters, O Zarathushtra, and after that thou shalt
offer the Zaothras to the
waters, sanctified, and sought out with pious care; and thou shalt
pronounce these words (as
follows, thus): (11) O ye waters, I beseech of you this favor; and
grant ye me this great one in
whose bestowal ye flow down to me for the bettering (of my state),
with a never-failing truth.
O ye waters, I beseech of you for wealth of many kinds (which gives)
power (to its holder),
and for an offspring self-dependent whom multitudes will bless, and
for whose wasting, or
defeat, or death, or vengeful punishment, or overtaking, no one prays.
12. And this do I beseech of you, O waters, this, O ye lands, and
this, ye plants! This wealth and
offspring I beseech of You, O Ye Bountiful Immortals, who rule
aright, who dispose (of all)
aright, O Ye good beings, male and female, givers of good things; and
this I beseech of you, O
ye beneficent, mighty, and overwhelming Fravashis of the saints, and
this (of thee), O Mithra
of the wide pastures, and this of thee, O blest and stately Sraosha;
and of thee, O Rashnu the
most just, and of thee, O Fire, Ahura Mazda's son; and of thee, O
lofty lord, the royal Apam-
napat, of the fleet horses; aye, of You all, ye Yazads, bestowers of
the better gifts and holy.
13. And this do ye therefore grant me, O ye holy waters, and ye lands!
14. And grant me likewise what is still greater than this all,
and still better than this all, and more
beautiful, and more exceeding precious (and that is, Immortality and
Welfare), O Ye Yazads,
holy and ruling mightily, and powerful at once, and grant it speedily
according to this Gathic
(?) word: (Yea), by veritable grace let that be done (?) for us which
is most promotive of our
weal. 15. And according to this further word again: Grant me, Thou
who art maker of the
Kine, the plants, and the waters, Immortality and likewise Weal, O
Ahura Mazda, Thou most
bounteous Spirit. And grant me these two eternal gifts through Thy
Good Mind in the
doctrine.
16-18. (See Y15.2; Y56.3-4.)

YASNA 66 - TO THE AHURIAN ONE.
------------------------------
1. I am now offering this Zaothra here with sanctity, together
with the Haoma and the flesh,
and the Hadhanaepata lifted up with sacred regularity as to thee, O
Ahurian One, for the
propitiation of Ahura Mazda, of the Bountiful Immortals, of Sraosha
(Obedience) the blessed,
and of the Fire of Ahura Mazda, the ritual's lofty lord.
2. (=Y7,5-19.)
3. (=Y22, Y28.24-27.)

YASNA 67.

1-4. (See Y23.1-4, replacing 'I desire to approach with sanctity'
by 'I offer with sanctity;' see also
Y7.24.)
5-7. (See Y38.3-5.)

YASNA 68 - TO THE AHURIAN ONE, AND THE WATERS.
----------------------------------------------
1. We offer this to thee, O Ahurian (daughter) of Ahura! as a
help (?) for life. If we have
offended thee, let this Zaothra then attain to thee (for
satisfaction), for it is thine with its
Haoma, and its milk, and its Hadhanaepata. 2. And may'st thou
approach to me for milk and
for libation, a Zaothra! as health, for healing, and for progress,
for growth and in preparation
for ceremonial merit, for good renown, for equanimity and for that
victory which makes the
settlements advance.
3. Yea, we worship thee with sacrifice, O thou Ahurian
(daughter) of Ahura with the Zaothras of
the good thought; and we worship, O Ahura, one with the Zaothras of
the good word and deed
(4) for the enlightenment of the thoughts, and words, and actions,
for preparation for the
soul, for the settlement's advance, and to prepare the saints endowed
with ritual merit.
5. And grant me, O thou Ahurian One! Heaven, and to have an
offspring manly and legitimate,
who may promote my house, my village, my tribe and province, and the
authority thereof.
6. We sacrifice to thee, O thou Ahurian one! And we sacrifice to
the sea Vouru-kasha, and to all
waters upon earth, whether standing, or running, or waters of the
well, or spring-waters which
perennially flow, or the drippings of the rains, or the irrigations
of canals. 7. With this hymn
from the (spirit of) the Yasna do we worship thee, and with the
homage which it offers as it
is the most legitimate Yasna, and homage of them (all) because of
Righteousness the Best.
We sacrifice to the good waters, and to the best, which Mazda
created. 8. And we sacrifice to
the two, to the milk and to the libation, which make the waters flow,
and the plants sprout
forth, opposing therein the Dragon Daeva-made, for the arrest of that
cheat the Pairika, and
to contradict the insulting malice of the Ashemaogha (the disturber
and destroyer of our
Faith), and of the unholy tyrant full of death, and of the human
Daeva (worshipper) of
hateful malice (and intent).
9. And may'st thou hear our sacrificial chants O thou Ahurian
(daughter) of Ahura! Yea, be
propitiated by our Yasna, O Ahurian one! and so may'st thou be
present at our Yasna; may'st
thou come to us to help, as we chant our full-offered Yasht with the
full offering of Zaothras.
10. If any man shall sacrifice to you, O ye good waters, the
Ahurian ones of Ahura! with the best
and most fitting Zaothras offered piously, (11) to that man ye give
both splendor and glory,
with health and vigor of the body and prominence of form; yea, to him
ye give possessions
which entail abundant glory, and a legitimate scion, and a long
enduring life, and (Heaven at
the last), the best life of the saints, shining, all glorious. 12.
And to me also do ye now give it,
to me who am offering this Yasna as a priest.
(Response.) And to us Mazdayasnians who are likewise offering
sacrifice, do ye grant (both
the desire and knowledge of the path that is correct), to us
colleagues, and disciples,
Aethrapaitis and Aethryas, men and women as well as children, and
maidens of the field, (13)
who think good only, for the overwhelming of oppression and of malice
in the raids of the
invader, and in face of foes who hate. Grant to us both the desire
of, and the knowledge of
that straightest path, the straightest because of Righteousness, and
of (Heaven) the best life
of the Saints, shining, all glorious. As the Ahu is excellent, so is
the Ratu (one who rules)
from the Righteous Order, a creator of mental goodness and of life's
actions done for Mazda.
And the kingdom (is) for Ahura, which to the poor may offer nurture.
14. (The Zaotar speaks): I beseech with my benediction for a safe
abode, for a joyful and a long
abode for the dwellers in this village from whence these Zaothras
(which I offer come). And I
pray in my benediction for a safe abode, and a quiet and a joyful
one, and a long abiding to
every Mazdayasnian village, and for a succor even with my wants, for
a succor with
salutations of salvation, and for one with praises, O Fire! and for
thee, O Ahurian one of
Ahura! do I ask the fullest Yasht.
15. And I pray for (?) Raman Hvastra for this Province, and for
healthfulness and healing. And I
pray for it with my blessing for you pious men, for all. And I pray
for him who is saintly with
(true) goodness, whosoever he may be, between heaven and the earth,
for a thousand healing
remedies, and for ten thousand of the same.
16-19. (See Y8.5-8.)
20. Thus may it happen as I pray. 21. And by this may I gain
(that) blessing, the good
Blessedness (our sanctity rewarded). And we address, and we invoke
religious zeal and
capability, and the waters with our Yasna thus: O ye good waters!
since (they are) yours, do
ye, as you are asked, grant splendor and grant glory, ye who are well
able so to give; and do
ye, O ye waters! grant (once more) that helpful blessing which was
gained from you of old!
22. Praise (be) to Ahura Mazda, and to the Bountiful Immortals.
Praise (be) to Mithra of the
wide pastures. Praise to the fleet-horsed sun. Praise to (the star
which so we name, and with
this sun) Ahura Mazda's eyes. Praise to the Kine (the herds of
blessed gift). Praise to Gaya
(Maretan) and to the Fravashi of Zarathushtra (first of) saints; yea,
praise to the entire
creation of the holy (and the clean), to those now living, and to
those just passing into life,
and to those of days to come 23. And do Thou then Ahura, as in answer
to these our prayers
and songs of praise, cause us to prosper to salvation through Thy
Good Mind, the Sovereign
Power, and Thy Righteous Order (in Thy ritual and law)!

SIDDHIS

Siddhi
Skt., siddhi; accomplishment, a skill perfected
Tib., dngos-grub; accomplishment, ability of perfection
Term for a type of spiritual/mental accomplishment that we can best
approximate with modern expressions such as ESP (Extra Sensory
Perception) and/or with Colin Wilson's (b. 1931) "Faculty X". Phrases
such as "mystical power", "paranormal potential" and "magical skill"
are also often used to cover these phenomena.

Vajrayana texts speak of eight types of siddhi only, but one can find
a much more detailed classification in the Hindu Tantras, where 84
are recognized. Among these, several phenomena can be found which
correspond to those charted by contemporary para-psychology, for
example psychokinesis, telekinesis and the astral 'double'.

anima: decreasing one's size at will
antardhana: making oneself invisible
kamarupitva: assuming forms at will
kamavasaita: power to control one's passion
khecara: the power to fly
kramana: the power to enter another person's body (i.e. possession)
laghiman: the power to cancel out gravity (i.e. levitation)
mahima: increasing one's size at will
mohana: rendering a person unconscious
manojavitva: achieving high speed
padalepa: to move about anywhere, unnoticed
prapti: the power of obtaining everything
prakamya: irresistible willpower
stambhana: causing temporary paralysis in someone
vasitva: control over others
vikaranadharmitva: infinite mental powers
The term siddhi is also at the root of the title for the 84 Greatly
Accomplished Ones (Skt., Mahasiddhas), each of whom had achieved one
of more of these 'perfections'.
