'Getting High on Spirituality'

"Buddhism didn't demand a belief in any god or ideology, and many of us in the 60s didn't want any more of that. Of course, the millions of us who had been experimenting with our mental states through the use of drugs, Buddhism, and even Taoism offered an exotic new way to conduct those experiments. They held out the hope that you could get high and never come down, the fulfillment of the bohemian's wildest dreams.
As we read books on Buddhsm and Taoism in our high school and college years, we were attracted to the commonsense, no-nonsense approach to human dilemma's. Like our own scientific culture, the Buddha asked us to strip away all beliefs and to take a good look at the facts of life. What was required was a deconstruction of all realities, including the process of thought and, ultimately, the thinker as well. To begin following the Buddha's path, everything had to be laid bare. Much of Hinduism asked the same of us.(W.N.)

"The brain is capable of millions of different things.
It can take us to a higher level of our existence,
where we can actually understand the world in a deeper way,
where we can understand our relationship to things and people in a deeper way,
and we can ultimately make more meaning for ourselves and our world.
We can show that there's a spiritual part of our brain,
it's a part that we all can have access to, and it's something that we can all do."

LionHeart's Rant

All of the sections of the Tao of the 60s will hopefully provide pathways into our empowerment-into those unknown parts of who we really are. Ancient and modern are the same. The mere existence of civilization's, empires, governments and religions still haven't figured out how to transform evil into goodness..or have they? Perhaps they have, and just perhaps no one really listens. Why? Wouldn't happiness be preferable over suffering? Let's all explore these different pathways in the Tao and then realize, together, they are all One...all leading to the same goal-some call Source, some call Enlightenment, some call Nirvana..some call Love!

"Taoism and Zen Buddhism are both not really a philosophy or religion; the early masters of Taoism and Zen Buddhism did not promote a god or even much of a metaphysical system. These eastern holy ones saw life not as a puzzle to be solved, but as a mystery to be lived. Instead of the typical Western concerns with intelectual certainty or individual salvation, Taoist and Zen Buddhist masters saw their state of grace as one of just "being"-living without ideology, analysis, or a higher meaning. In learning this state, they made nature their teacher and medium. The Taoists and Zen Buddhists sought to embed themselves from moment to moment in the web of life. " (W.N)

It is fitting then--that the hippies and revolutionaries of the 60s and 70s embraced these concepts in their own philosophies and lifestyles..then came magic-wicca, druidic science and mystery schools, crystals, tarot, I-ching, the New Age, and many other tools and schools to delve deeper into our psyche and uncover more of the mystery of the 'free agent' the "self."

I started representing these different esoteric areas here in the Tao of the 60s, and then it dawned on me that we have actually "moved past" all these..that there is a New Paradigm of Be-Ing...a new Brain...a new way to see our"selves" and the world around us and to ultimately Improve this, our Reality. The masters have been telling us this for Aeons, Milleniums...it is all Eternal Knowing-ness.

So if I refer now to 'astrology' (How do you feel inside on a Full Moon?), Tarot (Intuition is a gift you always have like your breath), Herbal Healing (taking walks and identifying plants that make you feel good-speaking to them), indeed, All of the sections above--they will be transformed from the modern day (contemporary 'glamour' of interpretations) to the original knowledge and wisdom of the Ancients, from our ancestors, our past incarnations. After all, the information has been here, the teachings have all been taught, the prayers all written down or memorized through the generations. For example, wasn't magic, wicca, and all the pagan rituals and celebrations-didn't they originate from the ancient Shamans, medicine women and men, Shamanism? So let's call it what it really is.

Of course there has been new prophets, new poet-seers, new avatars who have been able to translate this knowledge into words and terms and parables we can understand today...these I will honor here. Hopefully non-diluted and uncensored by the 'whiteman.'

There is nothing new..No-thing New..not even space flight. All the books and recipes for enlightenment and spiritual diets and this, that and the other are ways to seduce us into the "religion of consumerism, to stay fixed in the Matrix, the illusion." Slick "new-speak" ways of saying what the ancients said. No-thing is New! Metaphysical band-aids for the World not being able to Love and find Peace.

As peace is within us, so is chaos.
Our dual nature.

It's all remembering--it's all now simply and quietly,
'Observing', the beauty, the higher dimensions, the potentialities of our destiny together...
the true expresssions of Love and Peace...in Be-ing-ness.

But then here's the Catch-22:

"We know what an Observer does, from a point of view of Quantum Physics.
But we don't know who or what the Observer actually is.

It doesn't mean we haven't tried to find an answer.
We've looked. We've gone inside of your head.

We've gone into every orifice you have,
to find something called an Observer, and there's nobody home.
There's nobody in the brain.
There's nobody in the cortical regions of the brain.
There's nobody in the sub-cortical regions, or the limbic regions of the brain.
There's nobody there called an Observer.
And yet, we all have this experience of being something called an Observer,
observing the world out there."

Perhaps it's always been the Soul-the Over Soul ?

Why pay for something you already have?

Just dig it!!

'The Drama of Existence'

"The Buddha begins his teaching by telling us that ordinary life is a condition of suffering.
That is his "first noble truth."
It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, strong or weak, smart or dumb:
being alive--just getting a body and nervous system--means that you will feel
pain, hunger, fear, sexual desire, sickness, old age, and death.
On top of that, being human means that you will take all of the above-listed conditions very personally.
The Buddha holds our gaze on these truths, repeating them over and over again in his teaching so
that we won't live in illusion and become so attached to the drama of our existence. (W.N.)

"Knowing that there's this interconnectedness of the universe,
that we are all interconnected and that we are connected to the universe at its fundamental level,
I think is as good as explanation for spirituality as there is."
-Dr. Stuart Hameroff-
