At first I was quite annoyed

At first I was quite annoyed when the local temple piped up with full blast chanting at 3am. So I tried to find out why, and discovered this.

Boun Khoun Khao, or Boun Khoun Lan, is one of the year’s most important festivals. Sometimes known as the rice festival, it is celebrated around the city of Vientiane as a harvest festival to show appreciation for the spirit and abundance of the land and the rice harvest. Vientiane is the largest city and capital this country, situated on the Mekong River. Timing of the festival revolves around the Buddhist lunar calendar but it usually falls in the month of March.
Visitors to this celebration will be able to watch the customs and traditions of the small villages and Buddhist temples around the city. Traditional Baci, or su kwan, ceremonies are held to give thanks for the land, which gives the people strength. Su means togetherness or unity, and kwan means soul or spirit. During the ceremony people sit around an extravagant bouquet of flowers called a Pha Khouan. A senior village member leads the ceremony after which celebrants tie white cotton strings around their wrists and make good wishes. Food and drink are prepared that include delicacies like deep-fried Mekong fish, papaya salad and lao-lao or rice alcohol. There is music and dancing. Visitors are welcome to take part in the Baci ceremonies and the feast afterwards.

Wouldn't it be marvellous if the Buddhists could persuade the Christians and the Muslims to join them in next year's ceremonies.

Something like the next Full Moon– Mar 16 2014 - a day of unity where everyone thinks about Mother Earth, and what she gives us.

I wish I could record the chanting -  it's quite boring, and incessant (4.5 hours so far) but eventually it gets inside your head, and forces you to stop what you are doing and get with it.

I reckon this kind of promotion is more in line with the new era. I reckon trying to sort out the intimate details of the past era are not as productive as introducing the new era to folks in the here and now. Most of them still have no idea what has happened.

Alert To Change Through Sentiment Analysis

Alert to Change Through Sentiment Analysis

The old saying goes that life begins at the edge of the comfort zone and easing out of the comfort zone becomes simpler when we recognise change as it really is. 

We used to consider a knife which had had five new blades and four new handles as being the same old knife. Now we recognise it as a different knife, so it no longer has all the old sentiment attached to it.

Sentiment keeps us in the comfort zone, and if we want to experience change as it truly is, then we will benefit by moving towards the edges of the comfort zone, and preparing to step outside. We have constructed our personal comfort zone over many years and many sentiments. When we  to distinguish between past sentiment and present sentiment we find obsolete stuff, so change occurs naturally . As we adjust our habits, our sentiments follow suit. We like some things more, and other things less.

 

Practicing meditation daily enables us to analyse our own mind, and to see where sentiment has been born of of past decision. Very often we discover that sentiment has moved on, but the past decision has become the basis of habit, and is now preventing us from accepting change. We still do what we used to do, but maybe we now find it not quite so interesting. 

We have to move some of the old sentiment, in order to allow new sentiments to flourish. Our quest to live our lives in the "here-and-now" is the starting point for recognising our new self. We know that our sentiments are very different to those of just a few years ago, yet we continue to run our lives as if the old sentiments were still current. Almost everyone we associate with is doing just the same, and we are all slowing down each other by hanging on to all this old stuff that aided us in the past, but is no longer of any use.

It might be the way we do our hair, the clothes we wear, even the food we eat. We continue because we feel we like it, but once we examine the sentiment in detail, we discover that the "like" comes from habit as opposed to current pleasurable experience. Our habits are not based on here and now, and this is where the difficulty lies. Of course, if we still experience a current pleasurable experience, then we should hang on to it and use it for an expression of love.

We often feel the urge to slow down when we discover our lives are speeding up. It is time to take control of ourselves. We must slow down in order to gain a better grasp of life. Everything becomes more noticeable when we slow down, and it is the extra things that we notice that will create the motivation for change of sentiment.

The process of slowing down gives us time to examine our natural urges, and provides the opportunity for avoiding the negative urges. By replacing negative thought and activity with positive thought and activity  we create a cumulatively accelerating process, and change then becomes easily accepted.

The life-cycle from infant to adolescent to adult to old age is repeated on all levels of consciousness, being initiated by the body through the chemical flows formulated by spirit. Recognising and promoting spiritually formulated behaviour over and above chemically and habitually induced behaviour is a key to the positive change.

Continuing to go with the flow is not a good idea when the flow is sewage.

If we imagine a world with no humans, then we can become immediately aware of the effects caused by humans, and we can see how each individual has contributed their own little bit. Once we become aware of this cause and effect, most of us will make some effort to avoid even a tiny bit of environmental destruction.

The most environmentally damaging footprints are created by fear, and for those who can step out of the fear paradigm, they can see the good, the bad and the ugly. The good emanates from the love paradigm which we are now all entering and is a different view altogether. It can be accessed by imagining no worry or fear, people giving instead of  trying to take from each other, no war, no starvation and no cruelty. It’s not impossible. If each of us avoided our usual little bit of environmental destruction, it would all stop, and our sentiments would change completely.

Coming to terms with New Era ideas

Coming to terms with New Era ideas

If you are still searching and having difficulty in coming to terms with New Era ideas then you too can study the 5000 years old yogi philosophy, which goes further than any current science or religion, and has more advocates in one area or another than any new or old movement and additionally has helped more people over the years experience the hoped for state of bliss than even Kamnang Style.

 No need to search

You don't need to search - I've tried to make it easy for you.
Here's a list of 26 books that helped me on my way - maybe one, some, or all will help you on your way.
Different authors, different nations, different eras, all on the same track - coincidence?
Many books are shown as (available as PDF), which means I have a copy and it is out of copyright, so no pirating is taking place when I send it to you for free. Please let me know what you would like. All books are also available from Amazon. http://enlightenbooks.ucoz.com/Enlightening_Books.html

Study Yoga

You can study hatha yoga (body), raja yoga (mind), and gnani yoga (wisdom) free on-line and receive the exposure that enables one to identify others who are also enlightened, or alternatively those still searching.
Most people who have been fortunate in this respect now devote their time and energy to helping others to experience the same levels of bliss - (but some are just not ready yet).     

Scientific approach

Those who like the scientific approach would love book number 2 -Nuclear Evolution - The Rainbow Body - where the precise science behind the one true chakra theory is expounded in sufficient detail for scientists and laymen alike to understand. It will lead you towards the edges of an unpublicised world, full of truth, wisdom and agreement, light years ahead of the silly children's games still being played my politicians, wealthy psychopaths, the media and their followers as they try to hold on to their crumbling belief systems during the death throws of the modern era.

If you don't have time to glance through the 26 brief descriptions, but already have an idea you would like to check out, try one of these three. All are complete books available to read on-line for free at your leisure.

My only published book

Here's my one and only published book so far (many in progress)
Quickstep to enlightenment (pdf available)

And yet still several billion people have never experienced even one blissful minute, having a preference to stick with the old ways.

Paradigm Conspiracy

In really wanting to understand why we are limited to thinking in the way we do, I found a lengthy but detailed explanation by Denise Breton and Christopher Largent and copied it at  https://sites.google.com/site/humanevolution2008/clearing-out-1/reality-of-the-paradigm-conspiracy, where it explains that the entire present paradigm is a conspiracy - we have been forced to think the way we think as part of a long term plan - and here is the science behind that.

History

If you want the history behind these facts, demonstrating clearly how each tiny step was taken without being too noticeable, then this is available at:

1800-1869

1870-1899

1900-1929

This Timeline was available to on the World Wide Web in 1991 on the Trufax site, and I copied it then, but it has since been made private and sold as a book. The author's gave me reluctant permission to make this available to you for free when the last section was added a few years ago.

Happy New Era

Confusion between spirituality and religion

I went to a church school, and spent many hours inside a cold echoing cathedral. Life is about having fun, and this place was no fun at all. So I rejected religion, and didn't have anything to do with it.

It was maybe unfortunate that whenever I came across anything that might be considered spiritual, I immediately associated it with religion, and rejected it.

I was 42 years old before I began to even consider that there might be another side to the coin, but now I see a clear distinction. Spirituality is about discovering yourself, and acting true to yourself. Religion is about discovering what someone else thinks, and acting according to their thoughts. Quite a vast difference I think you would agree.

So it might come as a shock to some readers to discover that first, they are a spirit. Our ancient sages spent thousands of hours trying to work out how things are, and their findings are still not believed by many today.

However, with the recent change of era, more people are beginning to discover spirituality, and are making a serious effort to find out about themselves. Their fear has subsided sufficiently to allow them to proceed with their evolution. Their body is unlikely to evolve further, their mind is fairly fixed, so the place for improvement is alignment with the spirit. Each of us has these three distinctly different elements that combine together to form "us". You and I are a spirit, a mind, and a body. And we have been neglecting our spirit, as the current world ambience favours promoting first the body, and the mind.  The spirit hardly ever gets a look in, with the body taking the vast majority of energy and resources.

The new era brings new education, and new universities will begin to reflect the universe, as opposed to the incredibly parochial attitude currently adopted by academia, which also generally ignores the spiritual part of our essence.

Our sages said that "All is mind". For those with scientific connections, "The All" can be considered as Einstein's Unified Field. For those with religious connections, "The All" can be considered as God. Our sages simply called it "The All". They went on further to say that this "mind" operated on the basis of birthing other minds which are free to do as they wished. Hence free will.

We can all choose to accept or reject these facts, but for those choosing rejection, I would ask for a more realistic idea.

What happened to the world?

Just a few days ago, many people were either fearing the worst, or unable to imagine a better future.

Most knew that the world would not end, yet were devoid of empathy for those that believed it would. Their problem was created by fear, and we all suffer from it. It is fear that creates all problems. All human emotions are based on either fear or love, the only two true emotions. Most people have been insidiously inundated with bad news through their TV screens, newspapers, internet, schools, religions, employers and governments. Each institution has purveyed its own version of fear. Who could live without fear?

There were a few who managed to escape the tentacles of their own fear, and were able to stumble through the darkness until eventually they saw a light at the end of the tunnel, and they followed it. They have since been trying to explain the way to whoever would listen, and gradually more and more are finding the way. Every day, and especially through the pensive moments at this time of the year, deeper questions get answered, having the effect of providing a light on the path. Confidence builds, and rapid progress is made.

The spirit of the change of era, amplified by the vibrations of the current season makes it easier to quell fear and emanate love. This changes the electro-magnetism  in the area to a more positive mode, and this change becomes infectious throughout the spectrum. This is the source of the much spoken of pole change. The change is initiated in a wave length above the material plane, and the change in that vibration is now being balanced throughout the spectrum. Every one of the seven Schumann Resonances is changing, indicating a change in consciousness for everything. As drugs and alcohol or a serious accident or disease are necessary for us to become less conscious, we can expect that most people will benefit from a rise in consciousness.

There are many pitfalls along the way, so I have written a short book that highlights the pitfalls that I fell into.
The e book is called "Quickstep to Enlightenment", and is available on Kindle books

 

but of you mail me I will send you a free pdf.

Understanding this helps to get past those silly "Well what about...?" questions.

The answer to all those questions is that we are unable to predict what a more positive atmosphere will bring, but we can be certain that it is a change for the better. For sure it will help all those people who were less able to see alternative points of view, causing them to agree with the consensus of opinion, without giving it due consideration. 

Having bseen how our institutions create a story and spresd it worldwide, we now understand that the conspiracy is designed to mould public opinion. We can maybe see that some of our our thoughts have not really been our own, but have been to some extent pre-programmed by the media and those around us. We find that we have made some assumptions that have not been checked out, and as a result we become open to adjusting our opinions accordingly.

The new era vibrations will release some stress, and allow us to be better listeners. True conversation consists of trying to discover something new, to hear something that we did not know. and to tell something that we have not told.
We can think about the topics of discussion later, but the thoughts will be valid only if we have listened and understood. Any conversation providing less than this is worthless. And any conversation reiterating the same points is similarly worthless, as no progress can be made.

More people will relax more deeply, resulting in a reduction of energy spent in useless chatter, and providing more time for introspection. There will be more peace. 

 These activities ride on the back of the mood upswing created by the new era vibrations, and in turn add to that upswing.
Who cannot predict where this upswing leads, but for sure it will relieve many people of their woes.

Happy New Era.

Be your own nurse

If you are in pain or discomfort, only one person in the world can have a true understanding of where and how it hurts. That person is not your doctor - that person is you, or the 'I'. 
 
If you become able to distinguish the 'I' from the body, then you can use the 'I' to be your personal full-time nurse, and to provide advice on healing the sick body. I often use mine that way, and she always gives the best advice.

 Please relax

 The first thing she says is "Please relax, and get into a comfortable sitting position with as straight a spine as is comfortable."
My body rebels against this, and wants to do all sorts of other things like playing with the computer or going out with my mates, or getting some exercise, but then 'I' tells my body that it is sick, and the most important thing is getting rid of that problem. Eventually, my body listens.

The nurse asks "How did the pain occur?".
Sometimes I can answer, and sometimes I can't - some things seem to spring out of nowhere while I am sleeping.

Five essentials

  The nurse reminds me of the five essentials.
1. Diet - have I been putting any stupid things into my body?
All that is necessary for a healthy body is:

- fruit, which should form the bulk of our diet.

- vegetables, preferably - green-leaved vegetables

- seeds

- nuts

- water

Anything else is unnecessary, and may lead to poor health.
2. Exercise - have I been doing a reasonable amount of applicable exercise? For those in pain, exercise is often impossible. But we can all move a hand or a foot OK, so we should do our best to exercise what we can without hurting ourselves.
3. Sleep - have I been getting sensible and regular sleep, at least six hours and preferably eight per night (nine or ten for teenagers) with some of that time before midnight?
4. Sunshine - have I been receiving a reasonable amount of sunlight, and not over or under-doing it?
5. Love - have I been generating any hatred or fear - am I failing to forgive myself?
If we have taken care of these, the problem will gradually go away of its own accord.

Ceasing to call it a problem

If it doesn't, then ceasing to call it a problem, and accepting it is the answer. This is a  difficult solution, but far more practical than filling ourselves with all sorts of weird untested medications. 

 Go with the flow

If we  cease trying to change things and go with the flow, we reduce our stress levels, and hence improve our health.
Remember, no matter what we think of any situation, it is the only way it can be, and is always perfect. 'Twas meant to be.

Secret revelations show government is no longer required.

Secret revelations

Each day more secret revelations are pouring into the public arena, and more governments and individuals are being sufficiently embarrassed to cease and desist their immoral or criminal activity, as witnessed by the resignations of hundreds of bank and media CEOs.
 
The public are now peering down the rabbit hole, and discovering just how much they have been hoaxed by a series of consecutive puppets who are all answering to the banking fraternity.

We don't need to be clairvoyant to see the signs around us.

Mother Nature is telling us that we as a species are not treating our home in a respectable way. If we analyse human behaviour at the end of the modern era, we recognise that there is a serious deficiency of common sense. Why are we still killing each other? Why are there still people starving? Why is there so much injustice?

These questions are very easily answered - government is no longer required.
Given the world's resources, and the willingness of people to help, even a trainee logistics manager could arrange to get food to the hungry if government institutions didn't get in the way. It is obvious that governments are working quite hard to keep food away from the hungry, for some insane political reason.

If there was no government, what chance is there of war? It is again obvious that governments are the source of all wars, and that alone is enough reason to dispose of them.

There is now a huge majority of world's citizens who are completely sick of the craziness of the people purporting to represent them. How many world citizens want to go to war? How can their representatives be so wrong and yet remain in office. The age of being governed is over, and the age of governing ones-self has arrived.

The controlling psychopaths have succeeded in dumbing down and knocking the life out of the general public, such that individuals can no longer see the way forward unless someone on the television tells them which way to go. As John Lennon sang "How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing".

By the age of five, few people know "the law", but everyone knows what kind of behaviour is acceptable to society. We do not need laws to tell us how to behave. We just need each other. We do not need leadership, ideas, mandated help or even money from crazy, expensive out-of-control organisations. We need them out of our life so that we can begin to live sensibly.

How can people we have never met have any understanding of our wishes?
There is no necessity to continue that insanity - we do not need to behave like Oliver Cromwell or Guy Fawkes to get rid of the government - we can just tell them to go away. If we petitioned the entire internet as "government as 'want' or 'not want', or war as 'want not want', I feel we might find that most of us no longer require government or war. We need a tsunami to wash away all remnants of those ancient super-corrupt organisations, so that we can rapidly rebuild on more sensible foundations.

If the expense, obstruction, corruption, and dishonesty of government was removed from the face of the earth, there is little doubt that Mother Earth would be a better place, and not as at present, a seriously endangered planet.

Imagining an end to government as we know it is a far stretch for many people. However we can all see that the present system simply does not work, so alternatives must be considered. Once we are able to consider the possibility of an entirely different arrangement, we begin to see not only the reasons that the old system failed, but also that it is possible to avail ourselves of considerable benefit.

When we examine what we put into government, and what we get out, it does not represent value for money.This thought is enhanced by the current awakening of thousands of souls every day, who understand that freedom is important.

So how do we free ourselves from the yolk of thousands of years of thinking in terms of government.The  system has broken down, as demonstrated daily on the TV. People all around the world are bitterly disappointed by their own and everybody else's government.

Simultaneously with the disappointment of discovering that they have had the wool pulled over their eyes by government on subjects such as 9/11, vaccination,  fluoride in water, chemicals in the food and air and free energy many people are also awakening to the fact that they are more than just a body.

These two major factors together are creating an upward shift in the overall level of consciousness and awareness, resulting in the required tsunami, washing away the debris of bygone society.

The transitional shift is happening faster every day, and will very soon be complete.
