\u201cWe had many new angels, some of extreme evolvement and sophistication, and yet no new Gods\u201d, Zina noted, sipping coffee. \u201cI wonder why that may be\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s because they all fit a certain profile. They are men, celibate, renunciates. They practice some sadhana<\/i> that is highly effective, they learn how to enter a state of oneness with the Absolute, they learn how to control their energy system so that they stay there, but as for karmic evolution, the results are modest, because they simply don\u2019t touch that part; they \u2018transcend it\u2019, as they themselves would say. Even those, who actually attain great results, don\u2019t seem to impress God as much as they impress fellow humans. As a result, God doesn\u2019t claim them\u201d, Buddha shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what about bhakti<\/i> and tantra<\/i>? The bhaktas should, at least in theory, be doing the same thing we are. Tantra<\/i> should, in theory, be allowing couples to evolve together\u201d, his wife countered.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn theory\u201d, he conceded. \u201cIn practice, bhaktas tend to be more hysterical than transcendental. When they are successful, they tend to return to Gods as servants, rather than becoming their companion-Gods. Tantrikas for the most part devolved into practitioners of dark magic, and it\u2019s not having good spiritual outcomes. Also, they are using women as a tool for sexual meditation, rather than using sex as means of mutual worship between a male and a female practitioner. That, too, isn\u2019t having good spiritual outcomes. Some of it is outright terrible \u2013 orgies, debauchery, demon worship, dark magic, even ritual sacrifice. Not only is it not on the level of Padmasambhava and his holy wives; it\u2019s on the level of some demonic cesspool\u201d, he shivered from the recollection.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about yoga<\/i>?\u201d, she offered. \u201cLet me guess \u2013 it\u2019s contaminated by the impersonal concept of brahman<\/i>, which tries to transcend or outright ignore karma rather than evolving it, and they use methods that work until a certain point, and then they fail to improvise and get stuck?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. Also, when they come here, almost none of it works, or makes any sense whatsoever, because it\u2019s all based around certain properties of the physical body. Asanas<\/i> are pointless here, so are the pranayamas<\/i>. Pratyahara<\/i> and dharana<\/i> are pointless, as the defaults of astral and vajra<\/i> bodies do it all by default. Dhyana<\/i> and samadhana<\/i> are also pointless, as they don\u2019t produce any advancement here, unlike in the physical body, where they train the brain to extend meditative states. Here, you are just stuck at square one. Raja yoga<\/i> doesn\u2019t do anything because the body does it by default, and so on. Essentially, the only things that actually work here are various forms of bhakti<\/i> \u2013 worship, love, service, and so on. However, those who practice bhakti<\/i> down there usually practice some form of emotional hysteria, while those who practice yoga rarely do it in order to enhance devotional practice. They usually over-specialise, and since simplistic theories seem to win there, they get more adherents, who don\u2019t develop into well-rounded personalities. The end result, unfortunately, is less than we hoped for\u201d, he shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, we are getting disproportionally more male than female practitioners, which is concerning\u201d, she noted. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s because of the nature of most forms of practice, which completely sideline family life, and over-emphasise renunciation, which is practised mostly by men. So, even when those men attain some result, it\u2019s usually partial crystallisation of the karmic body, but with seriously undeveloped parts that would have anything to do with women. Essentially, they function well in a cave or a forest, but if you put them near a woman, they wouldn\u2019t know what to do with her. They would either rape her or treat her as if she were some sort of a cow\u201d, she smirked. \u201cAnd whatever you try to do to make them fix the issue, they just do more of the same, because they think it works, and repetition of the same will certainly bring them to enlightenment\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got a large number of semi-crystallised dark mages and, I don\u2019t even know what to call them. Some are actual nightmares, vile as serpents that live under a rock and hate everybody, thinking themselves superior because they are above the world. Some have inflated ego because they are worshipped by \u2018common people\u2019 and they learned all sorts of ways of \u2018looking spiritual\u2019 as to attract adulation. Some of it is outright fakery, some of it is abuse of genuine spirituality for manipulative purposes. They attain partial crystallisation, but the part of their soul that is not crystallised is usually in worse condition than with the average people. It presents us with complex problems, because such people think they know what God is, what spiritual practice is, what the result is, and when you try to explain, they nod as if they understand, and it\u2019s clear that it goes right past them. Honestly, I don\u2019t have a straightforward idea on how to solve those problems and turn them into souls that will continue to evolve, rather than being stuck in a stagnant state, where they will repeat the same mistakes and think they are doing sadhana,<\/i> and are better than others since they are such hard working practitioners\u201d, Buddha shrugged. \u201cI was actually something similar in my earthly life. I did things that didn\u2019t work, but which won me acclaim among the fellow practitioners. As I did it more, I actually harmed my health and would have died. When I gave it all up and started using common sense, I attained enlightenment very quickly, but the fellow practitioners thought I had apostatised from the true path because I ceased to starve myself to death and do pointless activities. False spiritual practice is in fact quite rewarding to the ego\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Satan is one of the reasons why some things stop working after the initial successes\u201d, his wife considered. \u201cHe thinks of an antidote for success, and diverts practitioners into some dead-end that is instantly rewarding but ultimately pointless\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe it as it may, people need very little incitement to do just that on their own, I\u2019m afraid\u201d, he shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, other than the initial impulse of tantra<\/i>, most practices target mostly men, creating extremely unbalanced populations of practitioners, as well as practitioners themselves that are extremely unbalanced within themselves. It is not surprising that they fail to attain true enlightenment, let alone apotheosis \u2013 metaphorically speaking, God abhors them. Also, metaphorically speaking, if you don\u2019t develop such character that a God-person of the opposite sex will fall in love with you to the point of wanting to spend eternity together, you failed in your spirituality\u201d, Zina nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou hit that nail right on the head\u201d, Buddha smiled approvingly. \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t need to be completely straightforward. I, for example, developed alone, but I was balanced, to the point where I needed just a small nudge from you to show me the next level of evolution, and I went for it. Some of those people invest huge asymmetrical efforts, as if exercising only the right side of their bodies, and end up looking like freaks, and the power of habit they developed is such that you can no longer teach them anything, because they think they know. We\u2019ll have to ask Lord Shiva and his Lady about them, since their mastery in those matters is peerless, for I am at my wit\u2019s end\u201d, he shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, some of those people don\u2019t just look like freaks; they are freaks. Imagine, for instance, someone who spent decades sharpening his mind, controlling breath, developing clarity of consciousness, doing Kundalini kriyas<\/i>, but seems to be utterly incapable of such a simple thing as loving a woman. A whole sewage dump seems to erupt at the very thought, as the idea of a woman is associated with worldly attachments, losing oneself in the world, lack of emotional control and complex mental faculties, and so on. To them, loving a woman brings associations similar to having intercourse with a goat that also leads you to spiritual ruin. And they don\u2019t understand that this is all indoctrination with nonsense; they think it\u2019s an absolute, unquestionable truth. And, of course, as such a civilisation marginalises and sidelines women, they indeed become the neglected and inferior gender, and the output of the function feeds back into the inputs, seemingly confirming it. I processed men from such cultures. First they thought I was a maid servant of some man who is doing the actual job and asked me to bring them to my master. Then they outright refused to believe that I can be competent, and eventually they were completely paralysed with shock. I wonder how they would have reacted to someone like Lady Shakti or Lady Kay\u201d, she smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe same\u201d, her husband shrugged. \u201cThey are conditioned to assume that femininity means stupidity, and it\u2019s a serious problem, as such lopsided cultures produce lopsided, dysfunctional people. Both men and women from such cultures tend to be spiritually messed up to the point where we can\u2019t do anything with them other than send them back to Earth, since they are incapable of normal life here. Women who are raised to be hardly more than goats end up actually being hardly more than goats, and men tend to react to women in terribly disgusting ways; imagine such a specimen trying to rape a female angel or treat her as if she\u2019s stupid. Here, they would be a virulent contamination. On Earth, I\u2019m afraid they are normal\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome actually tried to do something similar with me, thinking I was a pleasure toy given to them by their god as a reward for killing enough \u2018infidels\u2019. The women, on the other hand, expected me to show them the way to the kitchen. The worst were the semi-crystallised mages trained in some sort of an impersonalistic religious philosophy, such as vedanta<\/i> or sufism. They try to make me disperse or change form, thinking I\u2019m a construct of their minds, and they use extreme mental focus in an imperious manner. Thank God for the protective features of my job, that shield me from such violence, for some of them are truly powerful and their attacks would probably have harmed me otherwise\u201d, she shivered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat world certainly lived up to the expectation of creating different and unusual types of souls. Unfortunately, this very rarely translates to \u2018better\u2019\u201d, Buddha mused.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it produced you<\/i>, and that alone made it worth all the failures\u201d, she smiled and kissed him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
