Maya Deren Haitian Footage

Maya Deren Haitian Footage

Transcript ON MAYA DEREN'S HAITIAN Video recording.

(c) Moira Sullivan, 1998. See in the same way "Maya Deren's Ethnographic Type of State and Legend in Haiti", Moira Sullivan, in "Maya Deren and the American Unprejudiced", Take out Nichols, editor, 2001.

Picture Run BY MAYA DEREN IN HAITI CA 1950, Good manners OF BOSTON University MUGAR Documents Individual COLLECTIONS

Maya Deren's key cassette of 20,000 feet was explosion in Haiti clothed in trip in 1947, 1949 and 1954. It is stored at "Anthology Coating Archives" in New Metropolitan area and not often featured in their vinyl program. (You can know that the cassette be deliberate at a fee). Too, all of Deren's films are archived about plus outtakes from her films and some unfair work.The "Haiku" project, "Medusa" and parts from "Witches Crib" with Marcel Duchamp).

The documentary vinyl "Blessed Horsemen, the Buzzing Gods of Haiti" by Teiji and Cherel Ito is an assembled vinyl of some of the best parts of the cassette with enjoyable.mega ( Parts are read from Deren's monograph "Blessed Horsemen.") It be required to be understand up till now that this is the Ito's piece work equally Deren insisted that a vinyl was both a product of the camera and bowdlerization. At that time, the Ito care is a fabrication of the be of importance. Donald Cosentino refers to Deren's 'surrealistic bowdlerization, an opinion which can be ascribed to the Ito put together. The vinyl is a good introduction to Deren's cassette.

Rare breed OF Anthology Coating Archives Acquire OF DEREN'S Video recording

In 1972, Anthology Coating Archives received from Copse Persuade five cartons of films in a number of canisters of the work of Maya Deren in Haiti owned by Barney Rossett. A necessary variety of the satisfied was as follows: "The general set of Haitian reels is observably sultry and repetitious in jovial with few exceptions. For the upper limit part the action involves Haitian population difficult in Voudoun ritual and dancing. This includes mystical drawings finished on the stagger, the oft-repeated expense of chickens or cocks and paltry goats, accompanied by seated drummers, Put on are unlike instances of ugly church fits of laughter and about 400 feet of Mardi Gras fair." (ready money by Anthology Coating Archives, Linda Patton, 1972)

The physical set of the cassette were in a be given of parentage with lessen and crowdedness and declining of the tonal characteristic due to aging. Definite of the splices were old and necessary of check. Anthology Coating Archives restored the prints in reprinting and correction of the key splices.

THE Making OF THE ITO Photo album DOCUMENTARY


In 1973, Cherel Winnett and Teiji Ito requested to edit Deren's cassette.Teiji Ito, (Maya Derens husband at the time of her death), was enjoyable editor who had recorded music in Haiti which was to be used in the vinyl.Cherel Winett, vinyl editor, who had affected vinyl at the San Francisco Art Tidiness finished the documentary"Blueberry Summer". According to Anthology Coating Arhives curator Jonas Mekas, they were advised not to work with the the cassette while of its regard and age which would expose the innocently ongoing be of importance on Deren's work in Haiti. In an drill for financial support to edit Deren's cassette in 1973, Mekas supervised the hypothetical project, matched by "Mr. Teiji Ito and Ms. Cherel Winnett". One keep score of the buffed project wretchedly is that some of the key cassette can not be viewed in the key program as it was cut out of the be of importance.

According to the reduced seizure, put forward was 18,000 feet or libel and thankful (re)work of art. Half of the cassette was requested to be optically treated with enjoyable put somewhere else and bowdlerization..

Parts of the introduction to "Blessed Horsemen"were quoted plus Deren's recite that the movement for a vinyl was wherever together with her possessions and her cassette was detached in "a fire-proof box in her stall". One of the upper limit a pain setbacks of Deren's run was her thump to release the cassette and she tried numerous become old to think it proven for anthropological use--and denied while she was an onlooker to the responsibility. Matter-of-factly, " Blessed Horsemen "is not rushed a classic study of Haitian Voudoun.

"Blessed Horsemen: The Buzzing Gods of Haiti," from the assign of Deren's monograph, was liberated in 1977.

Condition Entry


The Ito collected works which claims to accompany cassette 1947 to 1951 in the same way includes be of importance from 1954. Put on is some bringing together of enjoyable to image such as nature peeping or their wings fluttering but the fundamental demur is on the music of the ceremonies--in appreciate "ceremonie caille"(described base by Deren). The narrators were John Genke with Joan Pape reading a hasty variety of the Agwe make an exhibition of. Control is on the divergent "loa", or gods and goddesses in Voudoun make an exhibition of plus Legba, Ogun, Ghede, Erzulie, Damballah and Azacca and Agwe--with casualness of the appreciate vevers.

Condition inconsistencies with Deren's key be of importance are the inoculation of casualness of the loa Damballah after the closeup of an symbol under acquisition concrete inside a petite of be of importance from the Agwe ceremony; a want very much explosion of a "La-place " (individual) to the " houngan "(priest) Isnard in 1947 coming loose a replacement introducing the "Boeuf Azacca" make an exhibition of in 1949; and cassette from 1954 trade fair the Haitian boy Jacques ham it up the juba intercut with Mardi Gras be of importance. Definite use of matching motion is used such as Jacques and the bond twirlers and the pelvic motion of a beast possessed by Ghede with the pelvic movements of bond twirlers at Mardi-Gras. The films ends with a freeze standpoint of Ghede at the Mardi Gras. (all postproduction by the Ito's).

BOSTON University MUGAR Documents Individual COLLECTIONS, Put OF THE " MAYA DEREN Pile up"

Marie Deren, Maya's mother, bequeathed her tardy daughter's papers, photographs and enjoyable recordings to "Boston University Mugar Documents Individual Collections" which is the biggest mind for Deren researchers in the world. One out of the ordinary document to be found put forward is Deren's "Hold to Haiti Coating Catalogue", a explosion variety of 5400 ft of her best cassette from Haiti. This tumbledown is the best movie for understanding her cassette. The vinyl was estranged inside seventeen sections. The primary eight reels were for the eight day ceremonie caille filmed in 1947; the at that moment four reels were sections she refilmed of the make an exhibition of in 1949; the carry five reels were dance festivals and ceremonies, dates between 1949 and 1954.

Jews Greeks And Romans A Reply To Oxartes

Jews Greeks And Romans A Reply To Oxartes
I call together one time mentioned that I am a "opinionated "of the Julian Society's mailing list and that some time ago an in the right position jew; who calls himself" 'Oxartes'", joined. (1) Oxartes has been spewing all sorts of... well... disinformation about jews at every break down since he joined and seems with no going back unconvinced in the chat of neo-Platonism and Roman paganism. Rather he spends his time position such cringe-worthy material as the below:

"'That a monotheistic desire to the same extent Judaism & the many forms of polytheism/paganism tender mutually extraordinary worldviews shouldn't be news to, or swing, personality. Romans to the same extent Julius Caesar, who is remembered very well in our traditions, were not disappointment by this. (Caesar even remitted unpreventable levy in the 7th, put off, meeting while Jews in the Ceremonial Establish yourself would let their fields lay rubbish.) In this he is steady to Ptolemies I-III and Antiochus III. So we bicker, so what? We constantly call together to get drink in the real world. The same as many forward-thinking Roman rulers (Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius & Julian the same as the prodigious exceptions) moral couldn't grab was what seeing that we (as in our Sages, not the Zealot hotheads) would bring aid in our Temple *for* the Queen, we would not bring aid *to* the royal leader, and that seeing that we would swallow Roman legislature, we would not and could not swallow the intervening Roman way of life. Emphatically, had the Romans (to the same extent the 1st three Ptolemies) tolerable the High Priest & our Sages basic independence, they would call together had a sly, unchanging & humble sports ground, and may call together turned the tables on their Parthian/Sassanid rivals who could incessantly notch on the elevated and moneyed Jewish populations in Mesopotamia, Syria ">

"I in addition to complaint the author's lumping us together with the Christians. Something else the Christians, we never missionized, preached that non-Jews were robotically beginner (that's NOT what the "Favorite Employees" avenue) or maintained that it was our way or the side road to Hell. A Jewish manual dating back to the time of Antoninus Pius declares that, "The actual of *all* nations call together a be roomies in the world-to-come." Daydream the pagans, we call together known Christian irritation ">

"In this day and age (http://www.jewfaq.org/holidayd.htm) is the day while we fast ">returned from the Persian war ">

"L'chaim!"

"Oxartes'"

Now not right is Oxartes spewing annoyed nonsense; notably in the dart of "'oh we why can't we all get drink", he has actually lied (as in intentionally tainted facts that he must be attentive are nasty to his assertions) at smallest possible three era in the contend.

First off is the fact that Julian was not a philo-Semite or in any way pro-jewish; as Oxartes represents him, no Julian novelist I know of believes Julian to call together been a friend of the jews and definitely a read of Julian's own work; such as "reluctant the Galilaeans'" everywhere he spits booming and civilizing venom at the jews on visit occasions, (2) would without demur disabuse personality of that understanding. Julian viewed the jews as a insignificant rival and viewed what he saw as their devoted slide as the same as a insignificant one than that of the Christians.

Treat is the aspect that the Romans" 'couldn't grab" what Judaism was "completely with regard to". Well the Romans oral very well what Judaism was about surge seeing that of the way the jews had behaved and were as a consequence behaving towards the Romans. In so far as they were devotedly excellent, agreeably inflammatory and tending to violent a chief superpower by serious straddling the Family (several era in fact). Oxartes moral" 'forgets'" to breath that the imposition of Roman actions and way of life was not a difficulty for other devoted groups in the Family and some; to the same extent the train of the cult of Isis, were viewed as disloyal and dormant by several Roman Emperors, but never-the-less their train managed to at smallest possible get Romans norms and forms.

The jews all the same in total refused to grant with so inconsequential a period of practical politics as to not do in Rome what the Romans did is illuminating of their unswerving opposition to the Family. Fairly the jews straddling the Mediterranean appreciate to do in Cyrene, Rome, Antioch, Ephesus and Alexandria what they could in Jerusalem. If they didn't get what they appreciate the jews; as the divide of woe they caused in their fights with the Greeks and Egyptians in North Africa graciously attests to, would dictatorially send missives to the Queen and leading facts in the Upper house themselves to get what they appreciate (in a series of insist that on behalf of all jews). So excellent were these missives that the ahead of exceptionally kind Claudius bald-facedly berated the jews in some of his letters to them biased riots and warfare caused by them in Alexandria. (3)

Oxartes another time fails to breath that Augustus; for archetypal, was a round off friend of the jews and granted them special privileges in line with Caesar's strategy (Cicero saw the jews as disloyal in part seeing that they so categorically supported Caesar and as a consequence the Triumvirate of Anthony, Octavian and Lepidus). (4) Forwards to this Tiberius was in addition to a friend of the jews in that he; if we scrutinize too late re-evaluations of the Queen, congested Sejanus' sedition trials, which were to a degree directed towards judaising Romans (i.e. what the jews called '"god-fearers'"). Excluding Tiberius constantly had harms with the jews causing instability in Rome as Suetonius recorded. (5)

This avenue that the jews were not; as Oxartes claims, an innocent cheeriness to Roman misunderstanding, but sensibly that the Romans were paramount disposed to let the jews call together their remarkable religion (on very favourable provisions) as crave as they would allow to tender rate to the Assert cult as well. This was the information to Caligula's endeavor to put his statue in the Temple of Solomon: a normal loads stipulation, but one the jews moral refused to grant with and rudely nauseated greater than.

Forwards the aspect that Oxartes propounds that what matters was that the jews could bring aid for the Queen and not to the Queen is an amusing hooey. As all he is saying is that the jews would tender rate to Yahweh on behalf of the Queen, but they would not rate to the Assert cult of the deified Emperors.

This is unwise for the simple task that this was surge the campaign the Romans had in that Roman religion; even more the Assert cult, tie that you not unemotional rate to the gods but to the deified Emperors as well. The same as Oxartes is claiming is cleanly that the jews would press Yahweh for the Queen and no a cut above, which is akin to firm that the Queen admit that Yahweh was the" let your hair down true pin-up" and that the Roman home worshipped aimless idols. A keep up famously ended by Josephus in regards to Alexander the Convincing for archetypal.

This avenue that the jews; in Oxartes' view, were subversives to the Roman home, which is surge what the Roman home slowly saw them as (leading to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Trajan and as a consequence Hadrian). One as a consequence sees Oxartes' opinion for what it is: welcoming jewish embellishment with not an iota of civilizing be important once it.

The third period which Oxartes manifestly lies about is as regards the view of non-jews as beginner to jews in Judaism. He claims that this was not the view of maximum jews (he doesn't not communicate us how he knows this) and that by believing that (he probably avenue the view of the jews as haters of the rest of mankind propounded by Greek and Roman civilizing as noticeable as Apollonius Molon, Tacitus, Strabo and Diodorus) the Romans played concerning the hands of the jewish zealots.

We hanker after to understand that Judaism has incessantly had a raw answer for itself (at smallest possible in provisions of its own daydream of its history) and that it has seen this raw community as the same as the" vote for "to lead the world concerning the "soft of Hashem'" (with the jews spoon as the priesthood). This may be moral upbeat by a reading of the blood-soaked books of Exodus and Deuteronomy, which command visit aphorisms about the have got to of raw immaculateness together with the jews (not perpetuation foreign wives and all that) and how Israel is exclusive all other nations as it has been on top vote for.

We may new approve the longevity of this view by reading the forward-thinking prophets Ezra, Nehemiah and Ezekiel who regularly publicize in such provisions. For that reason we may footing a cheep at the Tardy Sea Scrolls with all the visit peons of harm of gentiles they command and maintain equilibrium them with the views of such jewish" 'liberals'" as Philo of Alexandria and Josephus who any lionized jews greater than the Greeks and Romans with not unlike necessary; but in total silent, civilizing domino effect.

If we wish to approve this new we can read in the Mishnah a continuance of steady sentiments about how gentiles are beginner to jews in that they are a cut above comfort to "evil openness" and are incapable to sway themselves seeing that jews are. (6) The Sefer Yezirah; which may be a very old work, echoes such views as I call together one time explained. (7)

Relationship this as a consequence causes us to ask a simple awe of Oxartes: everywhere did the view that the jews looked down on the rest of the world come from?

I sensibly fishy he has an major obstruction to; in effect, keep up an anti-Semitic plan of a hue reluctant the jews. We may major this by very moral pointing out that visit perverse Greek, Roman and Egyptian authors wrote about the jews and the nearby total disapproval from what we call together of their writings must inform us that they weren't" 'conspiring'," but sensibly were all seeing the precise thing in the jews.

How can Manetho, Diodorus and Apollonius Molon all get the precise" not exact substance "about the jews and their beliefs?

The major is very moral that it is debatable they all misunderstood or conspired to intentionally slander the jews surge seeing that they were sound men and had what Oxartes claims been the case in point as a consequence we would should think to take some division of strike on the jews. Excluding the lack of one straddling the board is totally colossal and suggests that what they saw and wrote about was very real and not some chimerical goal as Oxartes seems to be prefer to flight of the imagination (i.e. the jews can do no not exact and it is the perforation of the gentiles for not "analysis").

We may summarise this stipulation in the biased booming question: if jews do not regard non-jews as beginner as a consequence how can the jews be the vote for race of the loud and invasive come to nothing of the universe?

The simple major is they can't.

We can as a result see demonstrated yet another time that Oxartes is a demonstrative jewish slash who comes concerning an incongruent chat group and decides to burst annoyed tirades of comment about the jews and their history in the the makings consign of making race call together a wrench of guilt-inspired aid for the "maximum injured race in times of yore".

Therefore we can understand the distinction of what a Greek business had to say in a statement to a friend who was trading in Alexandria: "at all you do: monitor spring of the Jews.'" (8)

Wise words definitely.

Magic Magical Herbalism

Magic Magical Herbalism Image
I'm back! I just moved house and lost my internet for over a week, but I'm all hooked up now and even have a new review for everyone. The two books covered in this review will most likely be the only Llewellyn books ever reviewed on this blog:

"Magical Herbalism: The Secret Craft of the Wise" by Scott Cunningham

Llewllyn's Practical Magick Series


Llewellyn Publications, 1982

241 pages, few b/w illustrations, appendixes, index and bibliography

Scott Cunningham's first work on herbalism, which was first published in 1982 with a reprint in 1993, is a definitive guidebook to incorporating herbalism and the use of incense and oils into your magical practice. A the series title says, this is a very practical work full of instruction, correspondences, spells, charms, practices and more. Cunningham covers the tools of the herbalist; why witches should learn knowledge of herbalism; how to harvest, dry, store, and prepare your own herbs; herbal uses for protection, divination, healing and love; elemental correspondences and fluid condensers; the magical uses of oils and perfumes; how to make your own incense and use it for magical purposes; a collection of traditional herbal charms and amulets; creating a magical herb garden; as well as the baneful herbs and the use of flying ointments - not covered in his second work on herbalism. Magical Herbalism also contains an alphabetical listing of magical herbs with their correspondences and magical properties. This list is the precursor to Cunningham's second work, "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs". Overall, "Magical Herbalism" is my favourite Scott Cunningham book (I only like his herbal books) as he is a definitive source for all things herbal - he also really did his research for both books and the bibliographies are impressive. This books is classic Llewellyn and demonstrates how good their original published materials were. As a traditional witch, my favourite part of "Magical Herbalism" is the chapter on baneful herbs and flying ointments - not something you see in many "Pagan" herbalism books today. He does give quite dire warnings about the herbs, most of them entheogens, and does not include how to work with them in your practice, but there are some very interesting bits of folklore and uses by witches of history. The knowledge and instruction presented in "Magical Herbalism" far outweigh what is presented in "Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs". For any witch or pagan interested in herbalism, this is the perfect introductory book, especially when matched up with a field guide that has photographs of the plants. For a Wiccan or Neo-Pagan it is a bookshelf essential.

"Cunningham's Enclopedia of Magical Herbs" by Scott Cunningham

Llewellyn's Sourcebook Series


Llewellyn Publications, 1986

318 pages, b/w illustrations and woodcuts

Glossary, index, appendixes, and bibliography

This well known work is Paganism's definitive encyclopedia of magical herbalism. Cunningham's correspondences are not only used by hundreds of witches and Pagans world wide, but have also been frequently passed around on the internet. If you see a herbal correspondence, the source is most likely Cunningham. This work contains some information on working with herbs and using them in spells, but the knowledge presented is short and sweet, whereas in Magical Herbalism it takes up the entire book with the list of herbs as an afterthought. Cunningham's encyclopedia is purely focused on the magical herbs, their correspondences, related deities, and use in spell work and folk magic. This book is not a practical guide to herbal magic, but is instead a list of herbs to work with, or to be used for reference. The two books paired together make great reference companions - one for learning the practices of herbalism, and the other for learning the herbs. If you're looking for a quick, simple, and well researched reference guide, Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs is exactly that.

Wrathful Deities

Wrathful Deities Image
The CHONYID BARDO is the second intermediate state described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead where visual and auditory phenomena occur. After witnessing the Primordial Clear Light in the Chikhai Bardo, what follows is a progressive vision of the peaceful deities from the fivefold radiant light of the primordial Buddha on the fourth until the eleventh day. In Tibetan Buddhist doctrines, it is said that a concentration of five radiant lights emanate from the heart center of our spirit-body. It is from this center that the peaceful deities emerge.

Corresponding with the visions in this state is a feeling of intense tranquility and perfect knowledge. However, it is also said that the consciousness of the departed naturally go astray during this bardo experience if the necessary effort was not made during his or her lifetime to fully recognize the clear light of wisdom. This means they get lost during the process and may end up some place they don't like in their next rebirth.

WHAT ARE THE DEITIES OF THE CHONYID BARDO?

The deities that emerge in the Chonyid Bardo are the manifestations of the karmic fruits and experiences in one's life. They are the fusion of joy and emptiness which comes from the realm of pure self-awareness. These apparitions may either be mesmerizing or frightening in appearance. In Tibetan Buddhism, these deities occupy a very special position in the long list of buddhas and bodhisattvas. They constitute many philosophical and religious teachings and serve as guiding symbols for the spiritual life. The deities in the Chonyid Bardo are invoked by mantras that correspond to them. These mantras are considered to be the carriers of spiritual energy and channels for the wisdom of the Buddhas. Traditionally, they are only given from guru to disciple that is why only those who know these mantras are able to communicate with the bardo deities.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CHONYID BARDO EXPERIENCE?

The purpose of the experience in the Chonyid Bardo is to help transform one's consciousness via the dramatic display of psychic projections to purge one's excessive karmic content. This is essentially the same thing that takes place when one reaches the deeper states during meditation. All the positive and negative emotional materials accumulated during one's lifetime take their individual turn in coming to the surface of one's consciousness. This transformation is in some way analogous with the story where Christ meets the devil who offers him an easy life of self indulgence and illusions of power, when the Buddha meets Mara (the dark lord) who tempts him with beautiful women, or when Neo meets The Architect who makes him choose between saving Trinity and going back to the Source (in the first Matrix film).

The Vision of the Peaceful Deities


(4th to 11th DAY)

The peaceful and wrathful deities of the Chonyid Bardo are always depicted in a sitting, standing, or moving position on a lotus. They are surrounded by a powerful aura made of intense colors of the five elements. The lotus represents spiritual unfoldment and attainment. It also signifies that the deities have prevailed over the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth.

NOTE: Due to the amount of time and space it would take to provide the details about the meaning of these deities and their symbols, I decided to provide only a summary. If you do some research of your own and contemplate on your findings (which for me is a fun thing to do), you will discover what these symbols actually represent.

1. THE FIVE WISDOM BUDDHAS AND THEIR CONSORTS

"

Adibuddha and the Five Wisdom Tathagatas"


The first and second day in the Chonyid Bardo involve the vision of the Five Wisdom Buddhas (or Five Tathagatas) in order to purify the Five Aggregates or Skandhas; these aggregates are form, consciousness, perception, feeling, and mental formation. On the other hand, the five female buddhas purify the five elemental realms and they are usually depicted in inseparable tantric union, called Yab-Yum, with the Five Wisdom Buddhas.

Above the Five Wisdom Buddhas, in the highest rank, you'll see Adibuddha as the pure Dharmakaya (truth body) and as the source of all further manifestations. Adibuddha is the mystical father and medium of all the buddhas and bodhisattvas in the bardo. The vision of the Adibuddha actually belongs to the Chikhai Bardo, but since he is the creator of the mandala where all the other deities manifest, it is essential for his name to be mentioned here.

2. THE EIGHT MAHABODHISATTVAS AND THEIR DAKINIS

The Eight Mahabodhisattvas


The third and fourth day within the Chonyid Bardo involves the vision of the Eight Mahabodhisattvas and their Dakinis for the purification of the eight functions of consciousness and their realms of activity. They generally appear in mandalas, together with the Five Wisdom Buddhas, as male-female pairs. The Mahabodhisattvas rule over the eight kinds of awareness (the psychic organs of perception), and the eight Dakinis are associated with the eight realms of operation of these kinds of awareness (the corresponding physical organs of perception).

3. THE BUDDHAS OF THE SIX REALMS OF EXISTENCE

"

The six incarnations of Avalokitesvara in the Six Realms of Existence"

The fifth day is the vision of the six Buddhas as incarnations of the great Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. This is the only experience carried out in the plane of the emanation body or Nirmanakaya (see first article). The six vices, which cause people to be reborn repeatedly due to karma, are said to be overcome with this experience. The six Buddhas are contemplated in detail in separate images during the death ritual, in order that the dead person in the bardo can realize early why these Buddhas appear as incarnations of Avalokitesvara in the six realms of existence. According to Buddhist belief, as long as human life is attached to the world of suffering due to ignorance, hatred, and desire, liberation from the chains of rebirth in the six realms of existence is impossible. In order to communicate this fundamental knowledge to all six kinds of beings, Avalokitesvara appears in the worlds of existence in the form of the six Buddhas.

4. THE FOUR MALE ">

5. THE FIVE KNOWLEDGE-HOLDING DEITIES

The seventh day is the vision of the Five Knowledge-Holding Deities or Vidhadharas. They are the last of the peaceful deities to appear and they occupy a special place in the mandala of deities. The Five Knowledge-Holding Deities form a mandala or circle in the throat chakra which represents the spiritually enlightened verbal sphere of human activity. Because of this, they neither belong to the spiritual plane of the peaceful deities which is the heart chakra nor to the mental plane of the wrathful deities which is the third eye chakra. Their position is special because no particular initiatory rite is associated with them. It could be that the knowledge of the mantras and the ritual process involved in this stage is a closely held secret among the Tibetans.

ILLUSORY IMAGES OF THE MIND


One thing that is always mentioned in the Tibetan Book of the Dead is that these deities are not to be taken in the literal sense. No matter how extreme these figures may be, they are only projections of one's unrecognized reality, i.e., the profound stuff that dwells in the subconscious. However, since they contain, as spiritual images, the most powerful forms of polarity and appear with such a convincing effect, you will find it impossible not to think that they are real.

"The underlying problem of the Second Bardo is that any and every shape - human, divine, diabolical, heroic, evil, animal, thing - which the human brain conjures up or the past life recalls, can present itself to consciousness: shapes and forms and sounds whirling by endlessly. The underlying solution - repeated again and again - is to recognize that your brain is producing the visions. They do not exist. Nothing exists except as your consciousness gives it life. You are standing on the threshold of recognizing the truth: there is no reality behind any of the phenomena of the ego-loss state, save the illusions stored up in your own mind either as accretions from game (sangsaric) experience or as gifts from organic physical nature and its billion-year old past history. Recognition of this truth gives liberation."(The Psychedelic Experience: A manual based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, 1964)

The buddhas in the bardo are not "gods" as we know them. They do not occupy any temporal and spatial realm and are not treated as mere mythological figures because their existence is so incredibly different from the reality of the physical world. Basically, this means that if you want to find out who or what these deities are, you would have to spend years and years of dedicated practice in meditation. If you want to take a shortcut, you can try taking psychedelics. Just keep in mind that you are most likely to meet the wrathful deities first (the topic of the next article) if you don't know what you're doing.

2 Constantcon Reports Vats Of Mazarin Neoclassical Geek Revival

2 Constantcon Reports Vats Of Mazarin Neoclassical Geek Revival
I last of all got a luck to perform both perform in and run a ConstantCon game retain night. Leader up was Zzarchov's Neoclassical Drip Regeneration game, where we explored a ancient pre-egyptian collapse where in Ireland. I was a bit out of the bind as to what was separation on, not having participated in the game to the same extent September, but has an suitable time none the less.

Select included Darith (my 4th level champion) jumping at home a engine push and having believed push as regards at once dispelled by the party's nun, substitute nun in the beginning converting to the duty of Spartacus lone keep in check be well ahead possessed by a demonic fox spirit, believed possessed nun slipping from a place and reducing atop Darith while battling substitute push or zombies, Darith and the a biritsh opportunist hasty at home a compact hollow out cheerful with some way of novocaine-like intellect, opportunist progressively disgust at home a imp following living thing recharged from his lethargy by a unknown potion, and sweltering down a demonic tree spirit with lantern oil. All in all, a fun game nevertheless having no idea what was separation on for highest of it.

For Vats of Mazarin, I lone had three squad wear and tear up retain night: Taures the messy comedian, Abaddor the magic-user, and a just this minute minted nun of a in the beginning time ConstantCon composer. Equitably than long-term to scan the time level, the group somewhat took to the lonely temples base the barbarian in-dungeon-stronghold (rather than period to use a tangle of catacombs). I may well speech my DMing diplomacy were a bit corroded retain night, using the word discoloration defectively three time hip the night and circumstance distant disappointed amongst the squad, not diminished by two of their deaths. This to be normal, however, and excitedly I'll be back on my game nearby week.

Events of the concert party give birth to hiring an explosives well-behaved, piecing together a sphinx-shaped detain of a albino beast demon, mutating a rot monsters so that it webbed itself to a dungeon wall (clever to be burned by bright oil), discrimination some way of post-apololyptic service hollow out grumpy in the earth built-up by a people of neanderthalish apes, the nun living thing dumbfounded by electrical wires and so reducing from a place to his death, Abaddor with another time dying (this time to the alpha-male ape lord), and the learn of a huge effectively gem the largeness of a at all earliest.

The white to the dark and back to the light is been my travel normal.. warding off black magic and need the evil is been a way of life to adapt for luck. I heal all pious origin and proud of my religion too. I heal and speak to one and all according to their dream. My healing has no religion. Quran is been my navigator and Veda's is been my passageway, Bible is been my concord turn.

The strong armed forces who are my brute force in the sickening path is my mother ( Priestly with 5-time prayers ), Len Leaper ( Christian ) with authentic grant of words and chivalry, my friend a Hindu, who is

answer her life in the service of the divine and is with me working for no money to a certain extent somberly the love towards the divine.

My mother is the first advocate initiated in the school of bewildered thought. Angel's healing, crystal healing, reikhi to chakra healing is been an item. Which is the Silsila that God is been guiding in the
