Reflections by Martin Luther King: Because it is right

Reflections on 21-23 December 2012: Leonid Snitsi

21/12/12 has passed and gone. Creators and innovators will have plenty of work ahead of them to help us with alternatives and solutions to the mess to which our unconscious society has contributed, (all of us directly/indirectly).
The blinking light ships "awaiting" to take us off this bruised planet to the Seven Sisters and/or beyond are still flashing on and off in the skies here and there and the waves of spiritual energy sweeping through our world - according to the galactic channelers - that were supposed to propel us into a Golden Age/New World  (4th/5th/6th dimensional: take your pick) have swept into mainly the belief systems of their conjurers. Empirical evidence simply does not support a different conclusion unless you are a sitting on a mountain top and munching magic mushrooms. Now that is OK in itself as its a democratic right to create beliefs of all kinds: the problem is that they present these as (some copyrighted) realities that are about as tuned in vibrationally as an ant to a lobster. We should have guessed that we were in trouble when Higher Angelic beings assigned copyright exclusivity to their channellers that jealously protected their sacred information in the true spirit of an open and freely shared abundant universe.
And that might just be passable too if they were not trying to persuade a number of their followers that their angelic views were facts.
Deadlines of all sorts from surrender or containment of the dark ones, to the release of free energy, free money (Fed is already doing that but helping themselves and other Brotherhood Central Banks), the unleashing of the martial arts liberators to take down the financial tyrants came and went and we the "dear ones" could remain assured that support was as imminent as the heavenly decrees stated they would be - well at times! Those too changed their positions: to interfere or not to interfere. Green light or red lights?
One just needs to see increasing parts of a formerly wealthy Europe falling into poverty and desperation to see that an awakening is taking place - forced by deprivation, taxes upon taxes strangling the economies, regulatory and fiscal restrictions on SME enterprises and yes, now even hunger as more people turn to Charitable canteens. Not to mention the horror of millions continuing to die daily in underdeveloped economies. Perhaps these mediums should travel a bit more and see what is actually happening outside of their heads.
The reality based on an analysis of several years of complete archived data points to the fact that this is part of a grand scheme to speculate from, profit and mislead people for a range of different interests and ideologies. We cannot exclude that the worst case is that their IQ/EQ poses an interesting possibility for genetic investigation or a psychiatric research topic.

The same old rehashed information of "closeness' and support by our interstellar brothers and sisters, (we have sky patrols all over the world busy hoovering radiation and pollution and looking after our well being by, you know, patrolling) is still being propagated with a frequency that is staggering and many remain conned once again into believing their salvation is neigh whilst many have lost all hope, and ignorance continues to prevail.

Massacres continue, repression continues, nothing has yet changed in the economic financial system or media outlook, in short all the utopic scripts regurgitated for years on the dawning of the new Golden Age have proved null and void. Channeled messages have been confused, bewildering, defensive and utterly useless in achieving their stated objective if not as reflection of the cerebral processes of its authors. These "Lightworkers" need to either recharge their batteries or get some new headlights so they can see where they are really going. To plunge a number of their readers into desperation and anger is hardly "lightwork" by any standard. If they have taken donations for their failed "feeds", that puts them into a more serious moral category of mini mad-offs.
Thankfully a number of what appeared and were claimed to be the largest coalition of alleged "top security clearance insiders" that have ever "emerged" from secret government military and intelligence communities in the history of mankind (the British got close to this record during the cold war) self imploded or just disappeared proving incapable of doing anything at all - much to the frustration of the White Knights, Purple Hats, White Dragons or Pink Elephants. In fact many were as bewildered as a penguin might be expected to be walking down 5th avenue and being asked for his views on the current economic situation. These "insiders" got every assessment wrong from the take down of the cabal (military, civilian, federal marshals, posse riders) to the readiness of the new financial system and political allies. Those who were more spiritually and galactically inclined and who invested the President of the US with "Christed" status or as a being from the stars have also largely lost their credibility - except those that are programmed clones built in China for 2012 and parroting the great virtues of our drone trigger saviours. These contradictions and their attributions are already beginning to make their way into the public sphere and will culminate with a comprehensive review of the 2012 Frenzy to be released sometime next year from multiple perspectives and sources.

The wisest and most grounded people that truly helped to inspire others with their consistency and wisdom were the only victors in this game, and they probably did not make as much money but remained true to their heart. Their message is that echoed by all masters/thinkers from ancient traditions that understood that real change and permanent liberation comes from starting to exercise our judgement on what those that are elected to represent us deliver and through their spiritual transformation. Not from outer space which even if true is just another matrix-ed reality.
To them we owe a special hug of gratitude for keeping reasoning people feeling that humanity still has a chance.

It will be another 26,000 or so years before another wheel of time comes to an end.
Changes will come and go as they have always done...so whatever will they come up with next?

The Importance of Spiritual Preparedness - Rene’ Descartes

I am human.

If you “sense” that big changes are coming, you’re right. And consider this: You can physically prepare until you think you are nearly invincible, but you can lose it all in an instant. Social, political, or natural forces could disrupt or wipe out your preparations. Even the most powerful governments can’t withstand the forces of nature or acts of God. We aren’t saying to ignore physical preparedness by any means. But everything can be taken from you, or destroyed, EXCEPT your consciousness, what you have made of yourself within, and what might be called your soul. So THAT should be our first priority when it comes to preparedness.


Consider this: We will all die someday anyway, disasters or not, and again, spiritual (not religious) preparations will be all that matters then. Furthermore, we’re also not just talking about preparing yourself for some kind of possible “doomsday scenario” – we have our day to day lives to deal with right now. What kind of world do you want to live in now, in the future, or an “afterlife”? If you want to live in a kind, caring, loving, creative world, then you must have made yourself into that kind of person in order to belong in it.

We aren’t talking about religion; we’re talking about true spirituality.

Things like – what kind of person you are – what you think you are – what you are aware of – what your personal “reality” is. True preparedness should cover all possibilities and improve our life even if nothing ever happens. Realizing the “real” you is not just a body, personality, or accumulation of memories and programming, is the first step. Becoming a true spiritual being (who just happens to be inhabiting a physical body right now), is the next step.

Just follow the Golden Rule of unselfishly loving others, and become an unselfishly loving, fearless, harmless person – that is the purchase price of your ticket to a better world. It’s a “win/win” situation, regardless of what happens in the future, or when your “time is up”. If that all sounds like what you want in life, “The Golden Rule” can help you reach that goal, regardless of your faith, or religious philosophy or lack thereof. It’s a non-denominational guide of simple techniques for using “Pure love” to improve your life, and the world.

Imagine a world where you and everyone else, “does as you would have done unto you”. Wow. But you can’t change others directly. You can only change yourself, and then “affect” others. So it starts with you. And you can only change yourself. But just by doing that, you’ll find that your whole life will change around you. You can have and be, a truly “good neighbour”, a good friend, and have great relationships with everyone who wants to join you in your quest.

You have heard people say, “You must love yourself first, before you can love others”. Well, we have observed many selfish jerks doing that, who do nothing to help anyone but themselves, and they’re still miserable themselves. But if you love others first, you become a good person. If you help others, how can you not feel good about yourself also? IT’S IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE YOURSELF ALSO when you love others first.

Isn’t anything that “brings out” the best in us, like compassion and kindness, good? Whether it’s a philosophy, religion, a method, a mother or father, or whatever? If it works for you, and makes you a better person (rather than a self-righteous egotistical and selfish person), we think that’s great. As for you, you still have a change to pass the grade, before your body dies (and it will) if you focus on the real issues, because the time is really short. Stop your selfishness and narcissism and truly become kind, loving, caring, compassionate, helpful, selfless and harmless toward all the people around you, but above all, love the creator of all, (or whatever the name or concept you use for him) with all your humility and appreciation from the bottom of your heart and soul, now that you know this.

Forget all the useless rituals and traditions, they have been worn out and has long since lost their capability to enlighten and uplift mankind. So just be kind and loving, and be genuine towards everybody. You see, if you haven’t made the grade, when you leave the body you are now using, you will have a real and very unpleasant problem to deal with, when you do leave your body in the near future. Humanity will, very soon, experience the “day of reckoning”, and it’s going to be great.

Now, at the present time, we are all being helped individually with insight, wisdom and knowledge from the Universal Consciousness and the knowledge are being distributed according to the quality and the level of the Consciousness of the individual. This is also how some of this information came about.

The teachings the perfect ones gives give us, is always about the future, and what we will have to do now to reach perfection and Enlightenment in the future.

About our individual Consciousness, those who have a lot now, to them more will be given, and to those who has little now, to them, what little they have, will be taken away.

New knowledge and enlightenment will never come to vicious people with petty vices—thieves, bandits, alcoholics, selfish people, greedy and power hungry people, people seeking fame and position—and those who aren’t willing to change themselves for the better. They will all soon be leaving this planet for a long time to come. The insight and the information you have with whatever Universal Conscious awareness you have, will play the most important role to help you make the right decisions and preparations in the coming earth changes that are expected to slowly begin now, until 2025. And after that, when it all calms down, a time of perfect unity and cooperation will begin on Earth.

It is also important to distinguish the Logos (Universal Consciousness) from the soul named Jesus. Any person in the world has the potential of becoming a Logos (Fully Conscious) but it was the soul known as Jesus who actually incarnated as a Logos and therefore became a Christ on Earth. And all of mankind has the very same potential.

Plan your life in this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.

Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet (The Razor Edge Of Self-Knowledge) By Julian Colgan

(The Razor Edge Of Self-Knowledge)
Self-knowledge is all of those days
spent in the silence of your heart.
When your ears pursue the steady
beating of your heart's knowledge,
words of wisdom are bound to your lips
 and all that was known by others
 is now known by you.
If the infinity of your soul
were to sing with the ocean's roaring waves,
the scales of impermanence
would not be able to measure or weigh
the profundity of your soul's treasure bound eyes.
Unable to outlive the beginning and end of self-knowledge,
you are as boundless as every truth naturally is.
Finding a truth and finding a path to follow,
your soul's quest for beauty
is never straight and never curved.
Unfolding like an unending lotus flower,
count no more the steps you take,
for in one step is every step.

Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet (Giving From The Soul) by Julian

(Giving From The Soul)
Little is given when possessions
are exchanged in return
for various kind sentiments.
Those who truly give only give of themselves.
Only possessing humility and a desire
to serve, all man made possessions
are but objects that are kept
out of fear of losing them to time's demands.
Like a dog who hides its collection of bones
in a trackless desert, a prophet
need not do the same,
for where is the holy city
but in the newness of Life.
Possessing an unquenchable thirst,
desire drains all of the water
from the well of your holiness,
thus leaving you desiring for the sake of desiring.
Many are they who give a tiny portion
of their great abundance;
but due to their lack of sincerity,
fame and recognition is all that
they will receive from Life's epicness.
Though having nothing as their own,
the greatest of givers 
is he or she who bypasses their worries
for tomorrow and serves the Lord
who never runs dry.
Either giving of yourself
through pain or joy,
that recognition of having to share
is everyone's baptism into holiness.
For those who are completely motiveless,
it is no longer the small "I" which gives,
but the biggest "I" of this sacred earth.
Motivated by the sheer joy
of finding someone who will willingly
receive the gifts of the soul's wholeness,
do not withold from pouring
your heart out to such persons.
Like bountiful trees and mountainous hills,
nothing is held back from the masses of men and women.
Not fading away because of innate generosity,
to give is to continue to live under
the starry nights of eternal slumber.
After having drunk from Life's limitless streams,
surely others can fill the cup of their souls
with the water which emanates from
your small stream of compassion.
Life giving of itself to all of its limitless streams,
Life wants to spread its influence
through your singular stream.
Taking nothing for granted,
rise with the Giver of Life
and praise the Ever Grateful Mother.

Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet by Julian Colgan

(Love's Ways)
The stillness of a dove
is of the prophet's peace to mankind.
Though following the voice of love
is a steep hill to climb,
love does not wait for the indolent and lazy.
When the wings of love's embrace
shelters you from the hidden pains of the soul,
your empathy for others may make you cringe
at the sight of love's incessant demands.
At peace with your shattered dreams
and hurricane like life,
attentively listen to all of love's revelatory dreams.
As love exalts you, so too shall it make you
into a walking cross for the intensified pruning
of your nearly luminescent soul.
Ascending to the greatest of heavens
and supporting the branches
of your nearly extinct faith in mankind's woes,
love shall make you descend to the root
of your sufferings in order to shake
you loose from all that which
is clinging to the mundaneness of being.
Grinding you to the whiteness of spiritual purity,
and rolling the flour of your realizations
into a host of eatable goods,
the grace that is love transforms
you into the delicious bread of God's festivities.
Moved about by love's soothing hands,
loving in a compassionate manner
is the secret of becoming a fragment of love's totality.
Afraid of not exclusively experiencing
the pleasures and highs of love's embrace,
it is then appropriate to cover the
nakedness of your heart
and to become a part of the conventional world
where laughter resounds, but never to its fullest extent.

Please visit this wonderful site which has some precious Zen gems of wisdom: I loved this one:

Story selected from from 'The 10 Very Best Zen Stories'


The Other Side

 One day a young Buddhist on his journey home came to the banks of a wide river. Staring hopelessly at the great obstacle in front of him, he pondered for hours on just how to cross such a wide barrier. Just as he was about to give up his pursuit to continue his journey he saw a great teacher on the other side of the river. The young Buddhist yells over to the teacher, “Oh wise one, can you tell me how to get to the other side of this river”?
The teacher ponders for a moment looks up and down the river and yells back, “My son, you are on the other side”.



Quote of the day: Finest Quotes (Visit their site)


Man is a creation of desire,not a creation of need.

TaoTe Ching: a wonderful pith guide to wisdom of the Tao by Julian

When the Way is possessing an individual 
who is enthusiastic of following the Way 
and propagating messages from the Way, 
the Way carries an individual's Essential Nature. 
When doubts deny the Essential Nature 
and prevents the Way from expressing itself, 
the Way is sometimes seen and sometimes not. 
When there is a total lack of inspiration to follow the Way, 
the Way is least heard of and the Way to the Way is lost. 
The Way that illuminates 
is at once dark and light. 
The Way that progresses 
is at once reclusive and spontaneous. 
The Way that equalizes 
is at once categorizing and label free. 
The virtue of virtue is empty. 
The purity of purity is motivated. 
The vastness of vastness is small. 
The honesty of honesty is changeable. 
What is bounded is limitless 
and what is limitless is bounded. 
The greatest sound and the greatest image 
is formed and formless. 
Only the Way is Nameless Perfection.

Rebirth each moment



With each beat of the Heart, we can birth a new reality,
With each moment of stillness, mind becomes steady and
calm,
When Mind and Heart merge into Oneness, infinity is reached
Every seeds bears its fruit, so plant virtue with every breath.
Make virtue your last act!

Sutra Of Innumerable Meanings - The Ten Merits Of Buddhahood


From where does this sutra of innumerable meanings
come from, where does it go and where does
it settle down in, o World Teacher?
Pleased through hearing this question posed to him,
the Buddha responds to the inquiries
of the Bodhisattva of Great Adornment.
Coming from the mind of infinity,
it passes through and settles down in the mind of infinity.
Going nowhere, it leaves from nowhere.
Leaving from nowhere, be at peace.
Being at peace, be with the Buddha nature.
The first merit of this sutra
is that it makes every negative quality into a positive quality
and every positive quality into a formless teaching of the Dharma Wheel.
Overcoming hatred through love
and love through wisdom,
wisdom is what eradicates the darkest aspects
of a living being's heart.
The second merit of this sutra
is that from just one seed or one thought,
a whole ocean of penetrating realizations is produced.
Multiplying in meaning each time
it is read and meditated upon,
the lightning bolt of illumination
encompasses every topic that is worthy of study.
Like a single raindrop,
the raindrop that manages to sink
to the bottom of the fertile soils of the mind
produces an unending amount of healthy and life affirming thoughts.
The third merit of this sutra
is that it can make any practitioner
into a bodhisattva overnight.
Wrestling with fear and anxiety,
either on an individual or planetary scale,
a bodhisattva is born into this world
for the purpose of lifting the meaning
of birthlessness to the born state of every living being.
Though not personally delivered
from the clutches of Mara,
a practitioner of this sutra can perform miracles
in the blink of an eye.
Thinking that you are ignorant of being a bodhisattva,
weakness of heart is what gives a practitioner strength of heart.
Having strength to serve, serve the good qualities of mindfulness.
The fourth merit of this sutra
is that even the most neophyte
of minds will be able to explain
its deeper meanings to others
with the ease of a slowly passing cloud.
The Buddha King and Sutra Queen
grab onto a practitioner's Buddha nature,
nurturing the arising Bodhisattva Son
with the emptiness of love and wisdom.
Combining into a perfected Buddha,
who can say that the Buddha does not live in you or he or she?
The fifth merit of this sutra
is that it can bestow the joy of compassion
and the propensity to make any practitioner
share the internal wealth of Buddhahood
with beggars and kings, alongside scholars and idiots.
The sixth merit of this sutra
is that it will close the gap
that exists between me and the world
since those who are devoted to these innumerable meanings
will preach as I am now doing.
Entrusted with a nation of bodhisattvas,
who else is there but me to interpret
and understand my own teachings and laws?
The seventh merit of this sutra
is that it will push everyone
in the direction of immediate enlightenment.
Perfected in the six perfections
by way of being empty,
the sons and daughters of the 
King and the Queen of the Dharma
will personally inherit the bodhisattva nation
as a gift of my charitable heart.
The eight merit of this sutra
is that it will make the mind pure enough
to convert even Buddhas.
Armed with a strong faith in the truth of emptiness,
anything can be accomplished since the Buddha
is the beginning and end of all accomplishments.
The ninth merit of this sutra
is that it will empower those who want to be empowered
into becoming the abode of omniscient mindfulness
and omnipresent compassion.
Simultaneously in all directions,
the mind of enlightenment spreads far and wide
for the benefit of every living being
who is caught in the trap of thinking
that they are worthless and without dignity.
The tenth merit of this sutra
is that it will provide enough medicine
for ordinary living beings to become more than extraordinary.
Uplifting ordinariness into emptiness
and emptiness into compassion,
the compassionate root of the Law
of Buddhahood
is a kind and clear mind that is free
of the desire to be free in relation to others
who are not free or who refuse to be so.
Protecting this sutra of innumerable meanings
as I would protect the Buddha nature,
the benefits and blessings of an infinite amount
of meditative retreats is now the property
of the newly formed Bodhisattva Nation.
