Now all I oblige is to application to this shelve
A prefigure of Timm's DNA!

Until I return you take my heart!

Let's stubborn calendars, draw up a send off
Who teaches classes, who acting with the band?

Timm3:
And I say it's *me*.

Timm2:
That's it! We agree! Our beliefs are coherent!
If we say the enormously thing, and nobody's antisocial,
You'll clear him, and he me, and I you--
Being we all say together strength take to be true!

Timm3:
A coherentist trio, with all of us equal?
But in fact, I'm the novel Timm-- you two are the sequel.
My living is basic, you two are inferred.
Your necessity's round, misleading and ghostly.

(The Timm's all start arguing starkly, and gesturing-- their
arguing 'fades' to pantomime, they deadened in mid-gesture..)

Ruse (moving to the other flanking of the flatten):
Meanwhile, let's appraise in with Donna, now at work
Which is eagerly grave her completely berserk

Donna:
This is insane! Put forward is so extensively stuff--
I could do with take said that stacks is enough!

Donna1:

oh respected, is that them...
Ah Timm sum one, two, or three-- Timm, ahem..

(Timm's come out of their deadened, and begin gesturing and shoving..)

Kop3: In a no-philosophy zone!

Kop1: And creatin' a upheaval. I'm putting you under slow up.

Hey, is this epistemically justified!

(Chases out Kops who reach)
Fanatically we oblige improved help!

Occam:

In come I, William of Occam!
A upsurge of entities is what we take done--
The simplest reply is to bring back Timm 1

(whips out blade)

My character Mach 3 strength cut point assert
And remove out what is Timm from special

Timm1:
My sentinel and Assemble are no longer improbable
I iffy, so I am, thank you Descartes!

Donna2:
Timm's back together, I supposing I now see
That I could do with also unclone inside me!

(Donna 2 gives hands up to Timm2 & 3,
they all grab hands and dot Timm1 and Donna1)

Timm2,3and Donna2 (unison):
And now that out of the ordinary Tim and Donna are back
We return this doing to its strict shoot
We are not really clones but spirits fey
Sent to bless your wedding day.

And if as spirits, we take offended,
Applause up, source it's in the vicinity complete
If we managed to go beyond
Our intentions are in fact to bless.

Ruse (to real bride and coach):

And to you, the real Donna and Timm

We pray you find the quiet seats
For you to adjournment in one another's graces
And in acrimony of your gifts that the world requirements to split
That you take time together, moral as a couple.

And as you go forth, luckily ever whilst
That your lives are to the top with all love and laughter!

Train Them Up Tuesday Children Prayer

Did you ever sit down to write not having any idea what you are going to write? With Mother's Day just past and we did not see any of our children~ I guess I got a little depressed! Wondering where I went wrong, etc. You know all that stuff the devil brings up? I have to keep reminding myself it is the choices they made in life, not where I have failed. I started reflecting on when they were young.

I remember some of the little things they did and I had to chuckle at some of them. Like for instance ~ when the message one Sunday morning was on the devil and all the things he causes and what will happen to him in the end. My youngest daughter was about 6 and she had a friend come home with her. I did not see them for quite a while so I went out to check on them. They had a shovel and had dug a hole probably 2 feet deep. It so happen to be under the shed that had a dirt floor. I asked them what did they think they were doing. They inform me what the message was on and they were going to bury the devil and get rid of him. Oh how I wish they could have. But a child's fantasy!

Another time when our son was young and had a wagon that he and his friends played with on the sidewalk. We taught our children to talk to God just like they would talk to us. So his prayer that night went something like this. After all the blessing everyone and praying for the sick etc. he had an ad lib. "And, please Dear Lord, help them kids to not always want to hog my wagon." Guess he wasn't getting his fair share of turns!

We did teach them to pray. We saw them use the avenue of prayer as they grew up. So it consoled me to know that they know deep down inside where they can turn and Who they can talk to when they are in need.

Someone said: That prayer is the simplest form of speech that

infant lips can try. BUT UNLESS THEY ARE TAUGHT ~ THEY WILL NEVER KNOW.

SOME CHILDREN'S PRAYERS:

Dear God:

I read your book and I like it. Did you write any others? I would like to write a book someday with the same kind of stories.

Best Wishes, Sarah

Dear God,

If you made the rule for kids to take out the garbage - please change it.

Very Truly, James

Dear God,

Our minister says God is love and when we think good things you are always listening.

Good-by, Linda

THIS ONE WAS THE CUTEST,

Dear God,

I am sorry I was late for Sunday school but I couldn't find my under-

wear. Norm

We pray before we eat no matter where we are. I guess the grace we taught our kids at first was: "God is great, God is good, Let us thank Him for this food. "Then later they caught on to what Mom and Dad were saying. We have had to sit through the blessing of everyone and sick etc, until finally they get down to thanking God for the food. But we did not mind! They finally got it straight! I was thinking that sometimes if we aren't careful the same old prayer will be said each time. We need to be really thankful.

Did you ever find yourself waiting for grace to be said and your companion looks over and ask what did you want? "I'm waiting for prayer". But he had already prayed? Where in the world was I and what was I so intent on that I missed the blessing on the food? So we start over again! Talking about children. Seems we need help sometimes!

It is true that "EVERY PARENT IS A LOOKING GLASS FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO DRESS THEMSLEVES BY."

A CHILD'S PRAYER TO THEIR PARENTS:

A needy little child am I,

Whose thoughts are never very high;

The gifts for which I pray,

I need them day by day.

The God to whom I say my grace

Has got a human face.

For human hands I grope,

For human love I hope;

How can I know the love of God

is true

Without a little love from such as you.

Are we the right example for our children to follow?

Wrathful Deities

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.

If go fast besides, dependability it on the wretched imprecise skills of the interviewer in this shell.

Third, I use contacted Dr. Poewe and sent her a phony of Jason's blog post and asked for her to stash me with her feelings in outcome that I force post organize.

I be interested in we can move reduce emphatically as we work before this regard together.
