Amida
Sutra O Shariputra, even as I praise Amida Buddha's inconceivable, Immeasurable roots of goodness, in The Eastern Quarter there exist as well: Immovable Buddha Sumeru-Form Buddha Great Sumeru Buddha Wonderful Sound Buddha The Southern Quarter shines with Buddhas too: Sun-Moon-Lamp Buddha Name Hearing Light Buddha Great Flame-Shoulder Buddha Sumeru Lamp Buddha Limitless Energetic Striving Buddha The Western Quarter shines with Buddhas too: Limitless Life Buddha Limitless Form Buddha Great Light Buddha Great Brightness Buddha Treasure Form Buddha Pure Light Buddha The Northern Quarter shines with Buddhas too: Flame Shoulder Buddha Most Excellent Sound Buddha Unstoppable Buddha Sun-Birth Buddha Pure Brightness Buddha The Upper Quarter shines with Buddhas too: Brahma Sound Buddha Abode King Buddha Perfume Arising Buddha Great Flaming Shoulders Buddha Mixed Color Treasure Wreath Body Buddha Sala King Tree Buddha Treasure Flower Virtue Buddha Seeking All Principles Buddha Like Sumeru Mountain Buddha The Lower Quarter shines with Buddhas too: Lion Buddha Name Hearing Buddha Name Light Buddha Dharma Buddha Law Flag Buddha Law Keeping Buddha They are as numerous as Ganges sands And each, in his own world, extends his tongue Until it universally expounds Across the thousands of great thousand worlds The truth which is contained in these words: "All sentient beings should believe the words This sutra here reveals, extolling and Explaining all the virtues thought of and Protected by the Buddhas everywhere." "They all attain, not retrogressing, to Complete and perfect Bodhi. It's because Of this, o Shariputra, that you should Believe, accept and honor what is preached By many Buddhas in their many worlds. If, Shariputra, there are people who Aroused the wish, arouse the wish right now Or shall arouse the wish to be reborn In Highest Happiness, they are, in truth, Reborn into that realm of Perfect Peace, Or are reborn into Amida's World, Or shall be soon reborn into that world. Not retrogressing, they attain profound Serene and unsurpassed enlightenment. O Shariputra, therefore, all good men Or women having faith shall thus arouse The wish for birth in Buddha'a Highest World." -Amida Sutra

"A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food;
therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. " Leo Tolstoy "The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man. " Charles Darwin “Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” Leonardo Da Vinci. “Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” Albert Einstein. “It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God, the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practice elementary compassion towards our fellow creatures.” Gandhi. “To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.” Buddha. “He is closest to God who harms no living creature.” Bhagavad Gita. "For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love." Pythagoras, mathematician "While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?" George Bernard Shaw, playwright, Nobel Prize 1925 "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis. Human beings see oppression vividly when they're the victims. Otherwise they victimize blindly and without a thought." Isaac Bashevis Singer, author, Nobel Prize 1978 "You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity." Ralph Waldo Emerson, essayist "As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields." Leo Tolstoy, author "Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages." Thomas Edison, inventor "Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace." Albert Schweitzer, missionary and statesman, Nobel 1952 "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with their fellow men. Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service to them wherever they require it." Francis of Assisi, saint think about it

If someone could please explain this to me I would be thankful. Objects can be ensouled with power. These can range from good luck charms to talismans purposely imbued with power in ceremonies. It can also be objects found or prepeared in a peculiar way. It is much to do with intent. Do you concider it a power object? Then it is to an extent. Does it have a purpose in your mind and was it prepared for that purpose? Spells can be used to create such objects and specific names associated with it or it can just be something you were led to for a reason while searching for power. At the Field museum in Chicago there is a whole section of Kachina dolls and skulls of enemies slain in battle. These are thought to contain the spirits of the slain warriors who's skulls they were in life. Do they really? It might depend upon the belief of the slain at the time they were killed as well as the slayer's beliefs at that time. There are whole books written on making talismans. Spells and incantations and Names of spirit beings are associted with the objects thus made. You could also.. eat dog ****.. safe in the knowledge that no-one in the normal assemblage position would do likewise.. and then leap to infinity through fluidising your assemblage point in contrast to those with too much resistance! Power is found in rarity, and in the case of not doing -within rarity of action and freedom of choice within that rare moment of desicion! DO NOT EAT DOG ****! (see im telling you what to do.. and in so doing stealing your power through resistance. also when considering soul energy in objects.. consider this story!!!! About 20 years ago i started to stucdy maritial arts.. I soon realised that if i could dominate everyone i would never challenge myself.. and so i quit martial arts as an act of battling impending sobriety over others. about 3 months ago.. i went into a used second hand shop and SAW a bundle of 9 coloured grading belts for a martial art.. They exuded soul energy.... I didnt by them as i figured caution would be the best policy. It was a couple of days before i realised that the belts did not contain the SOUL of the martial artist who had worn them.. But actually contained that portion of SOUL lost by every person who had backed down mid argument becasue they were arguing against a martial artist! essentially.. the soul energy was made of 40 or so people who hadnt challenegd the owner of the belts. CONSIDER the samurai armour and its power.. and THINK "how much is warrior energy" and "how much is the core of lost power left by his opponents." Its all very well to worship power objects.. more often that not as power is a mystery .. they will mess you up if you look at them wrong! I nearly eat a slug once when i was on acid... OOHHH big man!

I then wondered up to a field full of 500 other tripping people in the midday sun and faffed around like a jibbering ****.. To start with i had an energycoat of the deathdefier.. all red blobs on top of my cocoon..
I managed to roll a dieselgenerator around with some other tripping starngers.. and took the lid off! I tried to assemble a blue tarpaulin shelter to play music out of.. but the power was leaving my cocoon.. It wasa great day out and the over runny cold egg sandwich i had to come down on was very tasty out the back of a dirty bus! I dont think the POWER drained through lack of application... in reterospect it streamlined itself along the time axis for expenditureNOW later.. about 9years ago it was!" NINE YEARS TO NOW on one page of text.. amazing thing the typey buttony writey machine!
04-17-2012, 12:00 AM
in fact.. you wanna play "assemblage point theory"
LOOK at the codex nttal. wherever you see a LOLIPOP sticking out of a person or object, house or spirit.. THAT is the assemblage position for it.. for instance so.. having pluggged the mystery mayan artist from the picture above... showing the grasp an easterly nagual has on the forelock of a westerly nagual. next is the OBJECT position.. for spontaneous human combustion. A NEW)ISH) one! and last a pyramid, kuel huh!

rosygyro,
eeewww Dog ****. I am thinking of alternatives lol. I read a message once to an apprentice to the Warriors path from a Nagal. The Nagal said for Pete sake stop focusing on tingling sensations in your hands and body or you are in serious danger of spontaneous combustion! A little practical application of the wrong idea can be dangerous I am thinking.

Quantum Shaman,
If you are still around at the mo I wear a grey and white camouflage style NY cap, sometimes forwards sometimes backwards, would be interesting to know if its the right kind of cap.. ; )
04-18-2012, 12:01 AM
I'm not sure as to the details of the cap. The man I left with was of slightly taller than average height (maybe 6'1" or so), and rather pale complexion. His hair was short and he had intense eyes, and seemed to be mostly amused at everything.
04-18-2012, 12:01 AM
not me. I am pale but am short, 5 7, I am mostly amused by everything though. I hope your keeping well Quantum Shaman. I am just watching your YouTube videos. longing.....
The last thing I did that got recorded was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT3PBKWlC1M I am on the far left playing bass Guitar for some friends and their band.
04-18-2012, 12:01 AM
Thanks for the link. My kind of music, very moody and soul-touching. And a good strong bass line, too!
The guy I left with in the dream looked a LOT like that young fellow in the video. *winks* My dreaming body is taller than my physical self, so I'm not ruling out that it could have been you. The gist of the dream seemed to be that two of us escaped, whereas the two who remained behind were almost certain to be killed by the she-bear. As for me... I'm very well, thanks for asking. All things considered, I'm downright peachy! Take care... D

I am becoming more and more intrigued about dreaming with other people since I have been visiting this site. It is funny that before I joined the site I did not know for sure how to but then suddenly knew. it was almost like a little connection that already existed just became re activated. I felt that NWL may have had something to do with the sudden change. I have before had some really good dreams where I have felt like a bit of an outsider (I think this may be normal for me) and spent time with what i know are real people. Many times in circles near woods round campfires and really do love those dreams. But in these dreams I can never see their faces and they all seem to be strangers. I tried for a little while to dream with the folks here but my imagination ran wild with schemes and possibilities. Might try again though....

You might benefit from joining the private dreaming group here called ravenfield LP and always a invite goes to you Della!
