David Hudson is credited by most people in the field as being the originator of the term “Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements”, or by its acronym, the ORMEs (ORMUS). Mr. Hudson began speaking publicly about his research and discoveries in 1995, claiming that he had discovered an ingestable matter that caused Superconductivity in the human body, or in other words, what some interpret as the alchemical Philosopher’s Stone.

Meditation | The Devi Prayer – HYMN TO THE DIVINE MOTHER (20 mins.)

The Devi Prayer is a Mantra evoking the 108 Names of the Divine Mother.

 

In English:

The Divine Mother is everywhere.

She is in everything.

She is the Divine Essence that lives within all beings.

Her domain is the field of life, for she gives

to all beings the sustenance that is needed for life.

Her beauty lives in the natural world,

and spans the universes in all their splendor.

She has been called by many names,

for all traditions recognize Her.

Into each consciousness the knowledge is given

of the sacredness of life.

This sacredness IS the Mother.

She is the holy generator of the physical world,

joined to the heart and soul of every living thing.

All of the Earth is one with Her.

All beings of the Earth owe their life to Her,

for she is the Mother of all, the One who bestows

all gifts of life.

Her gifts come to the deserving and to the

non-deserving alike, for the sun does not choose

upon whom to shine.

She is the source of Divine blessing, the part

of the Oneness that bestows the graces that fill life.

We have not seen Her because her being is

cloaked in silence.

She emerges now as part of the Oneness where

she has always resided, blessing all, giving to all.

All who bow before Her are sustained by the life

within them.

All who honor Her are sustained by life’s gifts

both within themselves and beyond.

The purpose of existence is to join with Life that lives

in all dimensions and all realms of being.

It is the Mother that creates this evolving,

this unfolding journey,

for she is the fabric of Time itself,

the means by which all things grow.

She is the template for life that exists within Her —

the substance and form of all that shall ever come to be.

May all be blessed by the blessings of the

Divine Oneness.

Khīṇaṃ purāṇaṃ nava
natthi sambhavaṃ,
virattacittāyatike bhavasmiṃ.

the mind no longer seeks for future birth.
The seed consumed, cravings no more arise.
Such-minded wise ones cease like [the flame of] this lamp.

Parable | You Can’t Access Great Wisdom Without The Frequency

The Story:
A Guruji wanted to learn all the great secrets from the Master Babaji. So the Master Babaji agreed to teach him. He said to Guruji, come show up at my doorstep each morning and I will teach you all you need to know. Excited Guruji left.

The next morning, he packed all he needed to make the 4 hour trek up the mountain as he did the day before. Arriving at the Master Babaji’s doorstep with an offering, he sat down and waited. The Master Babaji came out of his meditation and opened the door to meet the Guruji, they spoke about many things, then did a meditation, but no secrets were revealed. He climbed back down the mountain disappointed, but then by the end of the 4 hours it took to get back home, he realized that it was normal that the Master Babaji would not reveal to him any secrets the first day. So, he resolved to get a good night’s sleep and get an early start the next morning.

The next morning, once again, before sunrise, he left the comforts of his home, family and small village and started the 4 hour trek up the mountain to visit the Master Babaji. Once again, the Master Babaji greeted him with kindness, and asked him to fetch some water with which he warmed by the fire and made hot tea for both of them. As they sat he spoke of the arid climate, the herds of animals that he could see in the spring and how the stars looked at night looked during the new moon cycle. Then they did a meditation as they did the day before and then, the Guruji knew from the Master’s gesture, that once again, their time had ended and it was time to go. The Guruji needed to get home before dark and so started on the long trek home, once again enjoying the Master’s company, but once again, was not given any secrets by the Master Guruji.

And so, he did the same thing the next day. And the Master told him tales about a White Tiger, a Red Dragon and a Monkey that could fly, and again they drank tea, meditated, and again no great secrets were revealed. This continued for years.

On the last day of the 8th year, the Master Babaji said to the Guruji, “We are done. Now you know all the great secrets. Go out and teach.”

“But Babaji!” questioned Guruji in opposition, “Do I know all the great secrets? All we have been talking about are the herds of animals, stars and celestial bodies, fairy tale stories and how to make herbal remedies and tea. What great secrets have been revealed to me?”

The Master Babaji responded, “As you have seen me, and just by being with me for all these 8 years, your body has slowly adjusted to my frequency. This is the frequency where all great wisdom exists. You are now enlightened. All will be revealed to you as you go out and teach.”

The Punchline:
What’s the moral of the story?   You can’t access great wisdom without the frequency.

Daily Words of the Buddha for September 28, 2019

Pāli Word a Day for September 28, 2019 — nippapañca — that which is without proliferation

Anekajātisaṃsāraṃ
sandhāvissaṃ, anibbisaṃ
gahakāraṃ gavesanto;
dukkhā jāti punappunaṃ.
Gahakāraka! Diṭṭhosi.

Puna gehaṃ na kāhasi.
Sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā,
gahakūṭaṃ visaṅkhataṃ.
Visaṅkhāragataṃ cittaṃ:
taṇhānaṃ khayamajjhagā.

Through countless births in the cycle of existence
I have run, not finding
although seeking the builder of this house;
and again and again I faced the suffering of new birth.
Oh housebuilder! Now you are seen.

You shall not build a house again for me.
All your beams are broken,
the ridgepole is shattered.
The mind has become freed from conditioning:
the end of craving has been reached.

The entire world is in flames,
the entire world is going up in smoke;
the entire world is burning,
the entire world is vibrating.

But that which does not vibrate or burn,
which is experienced by the noble ones,
where death has no entry–
