Thank you for the well written

Communing with Nature (AprJun 11) which finally explained
to me that very slippery Cayce
concept of attunement. Breaking it down and giving concrete
step-by-step examples was excellent! It also brought me back to
thinking about the Qigong I used to practice some time
ago. So, I will be thinking about ways to begin Qigong
once again. Now, to incorporate all these wonderful practices into our busy lives!
I also found the article Inspirational Writing (Apr-Jun

that into my meditation practice. I think that as the world

North Node
South Node
consider the Nodes as a pair of opposite (but related) tendencies that should be more balanced.
You may need to place more emphasis on the
areas symbolized by your North Node, yet you
dont throw away your past in order to jump to
your future. Instead you integrate the past into
the future. Explore your past in a similar way
to how you might research your ancestral inheritance: to learn spiritual illnesses you might
be susceptible to, karmic pitfalls, family issues
passed on to you, etc. Mine your background for
those undeveloped skills and talents that have
lain dormant and now need to be cultivated. No
ones past is without some hidden gems of merit.
The North Node often seems to be an unfamiliar area: one you havent investigated;
something havent been drawn to in past lives
but that, when its influences are included, would
enable you to grow spiritually and expand your
horizons extensively during this lifetime. The
two signs of the Moons Nodes form an axis
and a polarity whose integration reflects an important part of every souls purpose this lifetime.
For example: all souls entering this summer
of 2011 will have the North Node in Sagittarius
and the South Node in Gemini. (The astrological house locations of the Nodes will vary
depending on the time of birth, and will influence each individual soul differently, though
some general traits from these two astrological
signs can be applied to all these summer souls.)
In regard to Sagittarius and Gemini, these souls
will have to make sure their talent for gathering
data, facts, and information (Gemini) is used to
develop concepts that are deep, lasting, and that
expand their view of the world (Sagittarius);
rather than contributing to superficial communication with others that might degenerate into
gossip and discussing the trends of the moment
(negative Gemini). They may need to work toward taking more risk in finding their place in
the world (Sagittarius), rather than remaining
interested only in their own local neighborhood
(Gemini).
In the end, neither astrology nor even Edgar
Cayce had the final answer to ones soul purpose.
Q. What is the main purpose of my present
incarnation and am I fulfilling it?
A. No one may answer such but self. For
remember, ye are free-willed even before the
Father. (1472-10)

Modern Reports
Despite all of these changes, Cayce associates them with a positive outcome:
For a thousand years He [Jesus Christ]
will walk and talk with men of every
clime. Then in groups, in masses, and
then they shall reign of the first resurrection for a thousand years; for this will
be when the changes materially come.
(364-8, 4/15/1932, authors emphasis)
In Matthew 24, Jesus prophesied
many earth changes, only to finish by describing them as part of the birth pains
of a new era, adding,Those days will be
shortened. The Revelation prophesies
a period of 1,000 years when Satan and
all evil are bound and the earth enjoys a
golden age. Cayce touches on this, Can
the mind of man comprehend no desire
to sin, no purpose but that the glory of
the Son may be manifested in his life? Is
this not a new heaven, a new earth? For
the former things would have passed
away. For as the desires, the purposes,
the aims are to bring about the whole
change physically, so does it create in
the experience of each soul a new vision,
a new comprehension.
(281-37, 9/8/1937, authors emphasis)
What should we do?
Cayce was asked this
question and gave an
answer we all should
consider: Q. What can
I do to help bring about
the New Age? A. You
will have to practice it in
your own life. (51541, 2/24/1944, authors

Not surprisingly, many of Stans communications have been through electronic devices. This not only fits with his
interests, it also fits with what Cayces
readings say about the relationship between God and electricity.
Know then that the force in nature
that is called electrical or electricity is
that same force ye worship as Creative
or God in action! (1299-1)
Electricity or vibration is that same energy, same power, ye call God. (2828-4)
Immediately after Stans death, I began
wearing his favorite watch, an Atlantis
dive watch. My Atlantean husband was
fascinated with Cayces readings on
Atlantis and his favorite vacation destination was Bimini, which he loved to
explore. I can still see him blazing trails
for A.R.E. friends through the mangrove
swamps of east Bimini with his machete.
I called him Indiana Jaffin.
The first watch communication occurred the day after his funeral. Before
he died, Stan had instructed me not to
contact a particular family member with
news of his death. To my surprise, this
person had heard about Stans passing
and called me the day after the funeral.
We talked for about 20 minutes. After I
hung up the phone, I glanced at Stans
watch, which was digital, and was
amazed to see that all its digits were
flashing zeros. I knew that Stan was unhappy and saying, I know who youre
talking to!
A couple of weeks later, Stan again
communicated through the watch.
During his illness, we had discussed the
need for me to move from our beloved
old house before winter. I listed it for sale
with a friends realtor who quickly found
me a perfect place to live. While the
realtor and I worked on the listing paperwork for four hours, I kept checking
the time on Stans watch because I had
another appointment. Afterwards, I went
into Stans study, which I had emptied
out mercilessly the day before, and noticed that Stans watch had again zeroed
out! I knew that it was a sign from him
and that he was near. I was concerned
that he might be angry but then realized
that although the watch had zeroed out,

One of the
hardest things
Ive had to
do since my
husband, Stan,
died was to
find a good
home for our
beloved Siberian husky, Yuri. After
many attempts, a family found him
through a coincidental encounter
with someone who works for our
mutual veterinarian. Yuris new
owner is the president of the local
dog park so he obviously really
loves dogs. And this wonderful family welcomes my visits so I still have
our pet in my life!
As I was preparing to leave after
a visit with Yuris new family, I
mentioned to the lady of the house
that I had to get back to my writing.
When she asked what I was writing,
I asked if she had ever heard of
Edgar Cayce. She said, No, but
her father-in-law said, Edgar Cayce
was a special person. He went on
to tell me that his mother had been
very interested in spiritual matters
and had requested a reading from
Cayce for him when he was a young
man. Unfortunately this never
happened and he was on the list to
have a reading when Edgar died!
So our dear Yuri went from a
home where his owner, Stan, had
Cayce readings in his family to a
new family where a member almost
had a Cayce reading. What are the
odds of either of those things occurring, let alone both?

Lost Technologies
of Ancient Egypt
B y C hr i stopher D unn
an astronomical computer found by fishermen on the sea floor near the island of
Antikythera in 1901, the development of technology in the ancient world seems to
have clear origins and is fairly well understood.
Going back yet further in time, a deeper mystery lies in the question of how the
ancient Egyptian civilization could have flourished for 3,000 years without improving
the tools used to quarry and shape stone to near perfection. Since 1984, when Analog
magazine published my article Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt? controversy
on this subject has persisted. The article proposed that the ancient Egyptians were
more highly developed than previously believed and that they used advanced tools
and methods to cut granite, diorite, and other difficult-to-work stone. It does not
seem credible that brilliant architects and engineers would continue to use stone tools
and copper chisels for three millennia.
The most stunning and convincing artifacts that clearly contradict theories about
hard igneous rock having been quarried and worked in prehistory, are the incredible
granite and basalt boxes in the rock tunnels of the Serapeum at Saqqara (see fig. 1).
Within these mysterious tunnels that were carved out of the limestone bedrock are over
20 huge granite boxes. These 70-ton boxes with their
20-ton lids were quarried at Aswanover 500 miles
awayand installed in arched crypts recessed into the
walls of the labyrinth of underground tunnels. All the
boxes were finished on the inside and the bottom side
of the lid, but not all were finished on the outside. It appears that work stopped suddenly in the Serapeum, for
there were boxes in several stages of completion: boxes
with lids, boxes that had yet to have the lids placed on
them, and the rough box and lid near the entrance.
The floor of each crypt was several feet lower than the
tunnel floor, and iron railings were installed to prevent
visitors from falling.
In one of the crypts there was a granite box with a
broken corner, accessible by means of steps down to
the lower floor. The outside of the box appeared to be
roughly finished, but the glint of a high polish on the
inside surfaces beckoned me to climb inside. Running
my hand along the surface of the granite reminded me
of the thousands of times I have run my hand along
a granite surface plate when I was working as a machinist and later as a tool and die maker. The feel of
the stone was no different, though I was not sure of its
flatness or accuracy. To check my impression, I placed
Figure 1: Entrance to the Serapeum

EdgarCayce.org
Exacting Standards
In 1995 I inspected the inside and outside surfaces of two boxes in
the Serapeum, and found the inside of the box to be perfectly flat.
Those familiar with precision machined parts and the relationship between gauges and surface plates know that the gauge may
show that the stone is flat within the tolerance of the gaugein
this case 0.0002 inch (0.00508 millimeter) flatness. If the gauge
is moved 6 inches along the stone surface, however, and the same
conditions are found, it cannot be claimed with certainty that the
stone is within the same tolerance over 12 inchesunless the plate
has been inspected by another means and is calibrated to a known
standard. My initial inspection was with a 6-inch precision straight
edge that was accurate to .0002 inch.
Ramses
While the boxes in the Serapeum present a significant challenge to those who
attempt to explain ancient Egyptian
craftsmanship, they are not complex
surfaces, like the surfaces that combine to
create the magnificent statues of Ramses
II that grace the Temples of the South
and the North. But why, you might ask,
would I turn my attention away from
engineering precision to a sculpture?
Because the monolithic statues of Ramses
issue a challenge to all who would care to
explain how they were made.
What am I? How did I come to exist?
Make another just like me!
What does the face of Ramses have in
common with a modern precision engineering object, such as an automobile?
It has flowing contours with distinct
features that are perfectly mirrored
one side to the other. The fact that one
side of Ramses face is a perfect mirror
image to the other implies that precise
measurements had to have been used
in its creation. It means that the statue
was carved in intricate detail to create
precise three-dimensional surfaces. The
jaw-lines, eyes, nose and mouth are
symmetrical and were created using a
geometric scheme that embodies the
Pythagorean Triangle as well as the
Golden Rectangle and Golden Triangle.
Encoded in the granite is the sacred geometry of the ancients (see fig. 3).
When I was researching for my book,
The Giza Power Plant, I had my first en-
Perfect symmetry
In gathering the images of Ramses, it was important that the camera
was oriented along the central axis of the head. This way the distribution
of material on the left and right side was equal. In order to compare
one side of the face to the other, a copy of the image was made, flipped
horizontally and made 50 percent transparent. Then the reverse image
was positioned over the original to compare the two sides.
To choose the dimensions of the grid to further examine the
photograph of the statue, I assumed that the features of the face
would lead me to the answer, and studied which features were most
prominent. It seemed to me that the mouth had something to tell
us due to its unnaturally upturned shape, so I placed a grid with cell
dimensions that were the same height and half the width of the
dimensions of the mouth. It was then a simple matter to generate
circles based on the geometry of the facial features. I didnt expect,
though, that they would line up with grid lines in so many locations.

Abu Roash
Cutting edge
Looking closer at the
surface of the block in figure
6 - F, we can see striations
that are spaced between
approximately 0.030 inch
(0.762 millimeter) to 0.06
inch (1.52 millimeters) apart.
These are a common feature
on many artifacts found in
Egypt, including some holes
and the cores that were
extracted from the holes. The
radius where the cut surface
terminates is puzzling when
we consider different ways
in which the block may have
been made. One suggestion
made to me was that the
Figure 6: Views of the stone at Abu Roash
blade that cut the piece was
a straight saw but that it was warped and cut the curve on the stone face. If that were possible, it
would explain one radius on the block, but whether you view the block from above, or along its
length, you also see a radius. When considering this and pondering on how this inexplicable geometry was cut into the granite, the straight saw has to be eliminated, because it would be impossible
for it to cut a concave radius along its face and along its edge. Another suggestion given to me was
that the stone was cut by a stone ball swinging from a pivot point. Yet the evidence suggests a far
greater amount of control and certainty than that of a swinging ballregardless of the skill put
into the swing.
I tried to imagine a process in which the piece would be cut in one single sawing operation, but I
could not come up with a method that did not demand more out of the tool than was possible due
to an increase in surface area being cut.
Figures 7 and 8: Measuring the stone at Abu Roash
In other words, assuming a larger block
was being cut along the striated surface
with the saw on an angle, depending on
the thickness of the entire block, the thin
block, which is the one we are studying,
would break apart from the thicker one.
But passing the stone across the saw on
an angle would result in an increase in
the surface area being cut. In pursuing
an answer to the puzzle, while providing
an answer to Petries question about the
size of the saw, it was necessary to calculate the radius of the
sawthe granite block
at Abu Roash, provided
the attributes to calculate that the stone was
cut with a circular saw
that was over 37 feet
in diameter. This seems
almost impossible to
believe, but the evidence
is cut into the stone for
anyone to measure and
illustrated in figure 7 and
8 for verification.
in providing new and powerful information about this ancient culture? When it
comes to completely understanding the
ancient Egyptians level of technological
prowess, there can be no final conclusion. What is left to study today is a mere
skeleton of what existed at the time of the
ancient Egyptians. This skeleton survives
as highly sophisticated and precisely
crafted sedimentary and igneous rock.
I have proposed in the past that higher
levels of technology were used by the
ancient Egyptians, but for the sake of
argument, I have rejected some ideas
and cast doubt on my previous assertions as to the level of technology they
enjoyed. At the same time, I cast doubt
on the methods of manufacture that
Egyptologists have asserted were used
to build the pyramids and the glorious
temples in Egypt. These methods are
primitive and include stone and wooden
mallets; copper chisels; tube drills and
saws; and stone hammers for quarrying,
dressing, and sculpting hard igneous
rock.
To understand how the ancient
Egyptians created these testaments to
manufacturing prowess, we need to

rely on an examination
by scientists
and engineers.
They would take
measurements with modern tools and
analyze the full scope of the work and
compare them with our own capabilities. The full scope of the work includes
the most difficult aspects of the work,
which are ignored by Egyptologists when
they attempt to explain how the ancient
Egyptians created their monuments.
For instance, dragging a 25-ton block
of granite over wooden rollers, with
great difficulty, does not explain how a
500-ton obelisk or monolithic statues
weighing 1,000 tons were moved by prehistoric people. Bashing out a few cubic
centimeters of granite with a dolerite
ball does not explain how thousands of
tons of granite were extracted from the
bedrock and shaped with extreme precision and displayed as monumental pieces
of art in the temples of Upper Egypt. To
know the true majesty and capability of
the ancient Egyptians, one only has to
know and appreciate the full extent of
their work.
There is enough evidence above
ground to prove the existence of a prehistoric highly advanced civilization in
Egypt. Continued exploration under the
sands of Egyptas well as under the
paws of the Sphinxcould reveal the
missing direct evidence that Cayces followers believe still exists.

Edgar Cayces perspective was
that afterlife communication is
a facet of psychic ability, and he
gave advice for how one might
develop their own innate talents.
This program is a training intensive
for those who wish to learn more
about the phenomenon of afterlife
communication and explore ways
to awaken these abilities within
themselves.
As part of the conference,
Brown will demonstrate
mediumship and how messages
come through from the other side
by providing random readings for
the audience. In addition to these
demonstrations, the program
includes experiential exercises,
group work, guided meditations,
and an opportunity to test ones
own abilities.
Robert is a genuine medium
and he has impressed our
attendees, our staff, and me
with his talents, his warmth, his

special a.r.e. memories: There are so many. Having been part of a study group has helped me very much;
and Ive seen it help lots of others as well. One memory I
cherish is when I took one of the A.R.E.s first trips to Egypt
and we all learned so much about that mysterious country.
That was just great.
Personal activities: I give talks every month in our

dgar Cayces A.R.E. and the Heritage, a local natural foods center and holistic
bookstore, were the two major sponsors of the first annual Healing Life Festival
at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront 24th Street Park, May 15. Conceived in response
to the modern movement toward more personal empowerment in environmental
and personal health, the festival included exhibits and demonstrations on living
foods, holistic health practices and therapies, yoga, sustainable living and farming,
green products, spiritual growth, recycling, and fitness.
Hundreds of people attended throughout the day, and often formed long
lines for the free massage and foot reflexology sessions provided by A.R.E.
Health Center and Spa therapists. It was a beautiful morning and we had an
opportunity to introduce local Virginia Beach residents and visitors to the work
of Edgar Cayce, Spa manager Janice Long said. Within a week, several people
who received these free sessions came in to the Spa as new clients.

n looking at my dreams, I often see reflections of my negative actions, thoughts, and feelings. By examining them closely
and being completely honest with myself, Ive come to discover
who I am, why I am who I am, and more importantly, who I am
meant to be. This is an ongoing process; I am forever changing for
the better, which is also reflected in my dreams.
This became evident a few months ago when I had a dream that
I titled, Another Tidal Wave, which reminded me of a previously
recurring dream titled, Water, Water Everywhere. A comparison
of the two was very revealing.
The dream: Water, Water Everywhere
I am at the beach, alone. I savor the peace and quiet as the warm
surf rolls under my feet tugging gently at my ankles. Suddenly, the water is up to my knees and I find it difficult to walk. I head for shore and
I am scared. The shore gets further and further away and the water
gets higher and higher. I see a building in the distance and I know that
I must reach it or I will drown. My heart pounds in my chest as the
water continues to get higher and higher.
I find myself at the door of the building. I look behind me; the water
is about to overtake me. I open the door and make it inside. I know
that I am safe. I look around; the building is empty. I go to a small
window and see the water is above the window line. The building is
submerged in water, yet I feel safe.
The above was a recurring dream I had for over 20 years, starting
when I was about 12 years old. It was always the same for many
years. At some point, I began to notice a few (one at first, then two
or three) other people in the building. When I was about 32 years
old, the window seemed to get larger and largeruntil the walls
were literally made of glass, at which point the dreams stopped. I
have not had this dream for over 15 years now.
To understand the interpretation you should know, without going into details, that there were several incidents in my adolescence
that I repressedin other words, I locked them away deep in my
unconscious.
The interpretation: The ocean signifies that the dream is
referring to my unconscious. In the dream, the water is overtaking
me and I am afraid that I will drown unless I go inside the building.
If the water symbolizes my emotions, then the fact that I was afraid
of drowning indicates that I was afraid that my emotions would
overwhelm me. I, therefore, needed to find shelter from these emotions and went inside the buildinginside of myself.
At first, I was alone in the building. At some point, I became
aware of other people. These other people were actually me. As
each repressed incident occurred in my life, another part of me
went inside where it was safe.
The window allowed me a glimpse of the emotions (the water)
that I was afraid of. In the beginning it was very small, and seeing that the water was over the top of the window allowed me to
believe that I was right in going inside the shelterit saved me. The
window got larger and larger as I matured and learned how to deal
with these emotions that I repressed for so long. In the end, the
walls were completely transparent. I no longer needed to hide in the
building, as I was no longer afraid of drowning in my emotions. So
the dreams stopped.
The dream: Another Tidal Wave
I am on a balcony overlooking a beach. I know that I am not alone.
To my left is my guide and to my right, I sense two or three women,
though I do not see them. Out on the beach I see several people walking. I look out to the ocean and see a huge tidal wave approaching the
shore. I start yelling at the people on the beach to run for safety. Then
I see a baby on the edge of the surf, alone. I point to the baby and yell
at the people to, Save the baby, save the baby! Everyone runs off and
leaves the baby on the shore alone with the tidal wave getting closer.
The scene shifts slightly. Now I am on the balcony with these same
women and my guide, only we are completely underwater, though I
am not afraid. I see a scorpion drift by. One of the women warns
me to be careful as it might sting, but I am drawn to the scorpion and
reach out my hand to touch it. It stings me on my palm. I look at my
palm, but it doesnt hurt. I know that I will be OK.

hrough living wholeheartedly in our present moment activity and learning to cease the emotional pulls of
our daily encounters, we create a solid foundation upon
which we can actually be more alive and satisfied with life. Working
hard satisfies an unconscious necessity within all of us that drives
us to do something. Honoring unconscious motivations is actually
the key to satisfaction. Why does an artist paint? Why does the
musician play? Why does the motivational speaker speak? Because
we are compelled by a part of ourselves that we cannot conceptualizeits more unconscious than consciousand we cant give birth
to our true nature because our minds are too clouded for clarity.
Zen practitioners are actually honoring the demands of the
unconscious by doing the due diligence of the day. Why are new
employees so highly motivated, full of ideas, and ready to say
yes to everything? Because at that point they are fully invested
and committed to the work. Weve all heard the expression,
you cant teach old dogs new tricks. Veteran employees have
seen how everything works at the office and have clouded their
minds. Shunryu Suzuki says that a mind full of preconceived
ideas, subjective intentions, or habits is not open to things as they
are, that is, they have a false conception that satisfaction comes
from knowing more about the organization than a new person.
Which employee feels more satisfied at the end of the day? Which
employee accomplishes more tasks: the old grumpy dog or the
new puppy? As Alan Watts points out, seeking Reality is like
looking for an ox when you are riding on one. Have you ever seen
the puppy nature of an old dog come out? Its beautiful! This is
the beginners mind or original nature that Suzuki says is the
key: it is wisdom which is seeking for wisdom. Zen tells us to
detach from the emotions, politics, and preconceived notions and
constantly focus on the present taskbe here now.
Have you seen a recent job description or job posting? The
requirements and responsibilities are colossal. Most employees are
responsible for what would be two to three jobs in the recent past.
Work hours are longer, procedures are more regimented, and the
stress can quickly become overwhelming. Plus, people have lives
outside of the workplacemore responsibility. And have you seen
the local news lately? How can anyone handle the trauma of the
communitys challenges when we are faced with our own burdens
daily at work, on the road, and at home? These burdens that we
carry cloud our minds to the point where if anyone adds another
item to it, were going to explode! This is a make or break point
in the workplace where employees are expected to keep it together
always. Instead of using typical coping mechanisms, lets look to
Zen for assistance.
Zen teaches one to detach from the emotional responses that we
are influenced by. For many people, especially in the workplace,
petty comments and slights can ruin an entire day of work
drama! Shunryu Suzuki reminds us that we get attached to an
emotional hype about things that we wish to achieve or destinations we wish to adventure to; and how once were there, its really
not as great as we had thought it would be when we desired it. Yet,
this is not a doctrine of indifference; it is a swift sword that slices to
the here and now. Clear your mind so you can truly use it.
Zen is a powerful practice for controlling what we allow to
permeate our minds and for restricting our emotional ties to
circumstance. The Zen student is instructed to focus on the duties
of the day as utmost priority and the reason for beingdont question, just do what you are doing with your maximum ability. Right
now, I read and comprehend. Right now, I eat and sustain. Right
now, I drive down the highway. Right now, I brainstorm with
colleagues. With this practice, we give all our attention to the task
at hand, not allowing our minds to divide our focus and spread
ourselves too thin.
A global survey of employees showed that 30 percent of workers
in the U.S. define work as an activity that provides a person with
positive personal affect and identity [when] work contributes to
society and is not unpleasant (Nelson & Quick). Is this how you
define the meaning of work or are you part of the 70 percent who
view work as something projected upon you that may or may not
provide you with satisfaction? Americans spend the vast majority of their lives working and, in the U.S. especially, most workers
have a strong desire to save enough money to never have to work
again. Yet, we see many retirees coming back to work because they
dont know what to do with themselves after they are free of their
work day obligations. There is a duality here between work and
no-work; activity and boredom; volunteering and requirement.
In Zen, one moves past such dualities: work, dont work, its all
in your mind. Work can be depressing if we constantly hold our
minds hostage; work can be satisfying if we clear our minds and
act to the best of our abilities.

ne of the most interesting and at the same time glossed-over concepts contained in
the Edgar Cayce readings deals with the souls affinity for co-creation. The truth of the
matter is that each of us is a co-creator with the Creator, God. As we are also destined
to be companions with this Creator, we can at this very moment acknowledge and take
responsibility for the fact that we are co-creators. Unfortunately, we may fail to fully understand the farreaching implications of this capacity in our present experience, because it is only our knack for perpetual
co-creation that will enable us to transform ourselves and, in turn, transform the world. And it is only as
we embrace our co-creativity that we can become companions with the Creator.
When individuals first encounter the
idea that we were created to be companions and co-creators with God, the
possibility of such a destiny can certainly
have an intellectual appeal. We are all
daughters and sons of the Divine! Over
the years, many individuals have cited
Edgar Cayces admonition that each individual was ultimately created to become
a companion and co-creator with the
Divine. However, we may have simply
spoken the words rather than coming
to a full realization of their meaning.
Perhaps we have allowed ourselves to
believe that this co-creative ability is
something far offsomething that will
be ours when we reach perfection.
Some may claim that they dont really
feel worthy of such a relationship. After
all, there are a number of things about all
of us that are not really godlike. There
are many temptations to deny or ignore
our co-creativity.
Because of the challenges of the times
in which we live, it is not surprising
that so many individuals may feel overwhelmed by their life and their personal

Ego Amnesia
A Heart-Temple Story
about their own wants without considering others. We might also understand
the spiritually blind as highly invested in
ego-consciousness, as it is the egos veil (a
misuse of will power) that is the source of
our disconnection from the heart-temple.
It is not that we have to annihilate the ego
but just lift off the dark heaviness and
let more light shine through, like pulling
heavy drapes away from our windows.
Another way that spiritual blindness
manifests and separates us from the hearttemple is the thought that embracing a
selfish philosophy can be a spiritual
thing. This is how Cosmic Delusion (called
Maya in Sanskrit) uses both the New Age
movement and religious ideology (often
dangerously misinterpreted) to appeal to
the enticing limitations of the ego. It can
be found in all the various books, videos,
workshops, etc., that prompt the seeker
to find ultimate satisfaction with wealth
(i.e. The Secret Way to Be Rich or God
Wants You to Be a Billionaire), the body
(i.e. The Secret Way to Tantric Bliss
or Live Forever in Five Easy Steps),
or power (i.e. The Secret Way to Get
Everything You Want or Do It My Way
or Else: The Tao of Mao).
The pursuit of (and commonly, the obsession with) wealth, the body, and power
are objectives that promote endless acquiring, and restrain the consciousness
within the first three (lowest vibrational)
spiritual centers of the spine. These three
have to be transcended in order to rise to
the temple of the heart, and it is only at
the heart level, and above, that one begins
to discover an enduring spiritual reality,
a.k.a. enlightened mind.
So, the first survey of the temple
prompts us to be concerned with the wellbeing of other life forms, human animals
as well as non-human animals. We can
easily extend that to plants, trees, the earth
itself, and even beyond. The deeper happiness we all seek originates in a forgetting
of the self and its restrictive container and
enjoying the love that naturally arises as a
result of this ego amnesia. The current
world events are prompting us all towards
this consciousness.
