Stable Mind Foundation First

Here we are in 2020 - 'twenty-twenty hindsight' being an exact science, as they say(!) - lol, and the world is in a complete, a total mess. 

Over the last few articles we have touched on 'first perceptions,' then logical filters to discern the truth and the functional reality in what we perceive, and now we must briefly consider applications of shakti, or supreme intelligent power.

In the end, the things that are important to us have all got to be things we can use, things we can sensibly feel, and have emotions for...

There are thousands of places where you can go where smart people impart tricks and techniques of employing the buoyant surface of the psychic/psychological energy system within the human being - the vishuddhi junction near the throat region - to manufacture what are hallucinatory experiences, some quite frightening like a 'bad trip,' others so breathtakingly beautiful that mentally unstable individuals become lost in the addiction of these hallucinatory sensations.

Agni - fire sacrifice to the gods who are then compelled and obliged
to give you what you want... This is upon the declaration of Krisna
in the Mahabharata that such is the case. Okay, this is oysters being grilled. 

In the metaphysical you still require those 'second-line filters' we spoke of earlier. And that is because, beyond the hallucinatory, there is the 'metaphysically real.'

In the era of the Parisian Bohemian salon societies, there were plenty of people who abused absinthe, or laudanum, and 'saw' many amazing things which distracted them from their daily material lives - and the image of the green fairy persists even to this day in french art.

The reason the vishuddhi chakra is correctly explained as being the buoyant surface, is that unless you keep things in absolute perspective - some things below, some things above, some things at a distance - you will not be able to enjoy the whole experience properly and will slip 'beneath the waves,' as it were, overcome by the power of the cosmic waters, and the energy of the tide which drags you under, into addiction and hallucinations.

However if you are able to maintain your stability on top of things, that is at least on top of the things that will bear your material physical weight, the weight of your bodily existence, or your body in fact - your psychological systems, your consciousness inside of your material person - then you will gain access to Adi Parashakti, the owner and ultimate ruler of the entire Cosmos of everything, who is the means of all of this 'manifesting' that you see and read about but which very few people know how to really do.

People who can 'make' things appear through their agne - or ajna, whatever (third eye chakra) are termed siddha sankalpa. Wikipedia is absolute and total rubbish about this phrase. It's just all over the place misusing Sanskrit words, not even translating anywhere close to correctly - sankalpa doesn't in any way mean or include 'intention' or something happening in the future, or the focused will; in fact 'will' is the word 'agna.' Or ajna or agne. 

Sankalpa means all things, future as well as past resolved into the eternal now.

So now, in eternity, is when you are sitting in your Ferrari Roma, or your Rolls Royce or something, or when you are in salon amongst your wealthy Bohemian friends.
