Jichin-Sai: Land Purification Last weekend, on 12th January, I attended a special ceremony to purify the land in order that a friend's house could be rebuilt from scratch. It was demolished because it was not big enough for the whole family to live there. In Japan, it is still very common for all the members of a family to live together, especially as the parents get older. The daughter of my friends, married with a child, decided they should live to together with her parents, so the family house was demolished and will be rebuilt soon. In preparation for that rebuilding the land had to be purified to ensure future harmony and blessings for all family members. A representative of the construction company was present at the ceremony, as well as a Buddhist priest. First, sutras were chanted followed by blessings. Then all the attendees joined in adding certain things to a large hole dug into the earth in the middle of the site inside a sanctified portion marked by 4 tall bamboo trees. These saplings were connected by strings hung with white paper offerings of prayers. We added first salt, 5 different grains, water, sake, and finally some of the earth itself. Finally, when the ceremony was complete, we put branches of the bamboo in the hole and the strings and paper prayers, and filled the hole to the top with red clay-rich earth. It was explained by the priest that before the land was developed in order to build houses, it was once a natural wilderness hosting divers animals and plants. They were then displaced or even made extinct in order to sustain human life, but their excruciated spirits remain. Before we build a new structure, we should purify the ground of evil or unwanted spirits and console those that remain. This ceremony is ancient, first used by Shinto Priests and later adopted into Buddhism. I felt so honored to be a part of it, and look forward to the turbulence which this family have experienced for some years calming, and to their joyful contin...

One day ......
One day ……
One day I woke up to the sound of music glorifying the embodiment of universal love.
I woke up in the vast field of human awareness and looked back at the bridge of my mind which I had finally found my way across.
All the clutter and obstacles thrown up by my intellectual mind had vanished!
Then, I could stand and call you,
encouraging you to hurry across your own bridge.
This is my mission.

What kind of voice will you have today?
What kind of voice will you have today?
Human sounds are jewels, fragments of unique diamonds
vibrated through the air. We must use them so carefully.
Sound is concrete!
Beyond any interpretation!
Close your eyes to the world of visual ephemera.
It lasts only momentarily.
And open the ears of your soul
to the world of sound which is eternal.
Then, you will feel the shell of your body…

If?
You ask if I trust you?
When we breathe and live as one, what irritation is this I want to scratch?
One tree of life to another, our branches and roots commingled, we grow into each other as one.
But words and numbers block the flow like a crumbly pest.

Words are vague symbols, crude and flimsy ego-representations, superfluous murmurings…..
When all we really…

You are Goodness
Materials, possessions, appropriations, membership,
rivals, ambition, boundaries, nationalisms, differences………….
These are ulterior motives, ulterior agendas.
They are the bywords of life in the world of form
which are repeated internally, consciously or
allowed to drone away in the unconscious.
They are built into our conditioning and
education but they are a fabrication,
a conspiratorial dream…

From the Field: for vertical movers
From the Field: for vertical movers
Love has no secrets, no hidden places, no dark corners. It is pure energy, the bright light of our spirit. It depends on nothing and no one, is contingent on no conditions. Neither is it subject to the laws of cause and effect. In the same way, light is subject to no conditions because it is a universal law, and if we have crossed over the bridge of the mind out into the field of consciousness,…

make every moment count!
Every moment of your human existence is so precious because you can take one more breath, and one your heart will beat once more, thanks to your ancestors’ DNA, and the Universe for providing oxygen to breathe.

natural born healers
Some say the Devil created the material Universe—the synagogue of Satan—
trapping the element of Divine Light in each being,
making our innate goodness captive
in order to purify the world of evil.
If that is so, what a glorious…

ninja’s story
Without their Stories, Songs and their Lands, ninija and her people cannot and do not survive. The Stories and Songs help them to survive the hardest place to live on planet Earth, the very centre of Australia – Uluru – the belly-button of Father earth.
If the people are taken away from the Lands, like the young straightbacks have been and exposed to the ways of white-ghosts,they get sick and…

slither out of the dead skin of your past and future
Your past and your future are like unwanted skin! Rub them away with sharp awareness and slither into reality. No past = no karma!
Ego and persona with all their limitations are simply grooves etched by repetition and reaction into the mind
so that our daily lives become like a laser that habitually falls into the groove and makes it ever deeper.
Awareness is the only virtue. It is your…

dissolve!
The more we dissolve into the unknown, into the invisible,
into the divine, the more unique we become.
Most of us fear oblivion—being tossed aside or overlooked.
But this is only the discontented ego craving and craving, clawing attention in the visible world.
And ego is the most ordinary thing in the world because everyone around us is an egoist
and this si the reason msot human…

Homo Novus: the New Human
We can each create a new human deeply rooted in meditation, breathing in the still silence of the deepest recesses of the heart. A human who has moved out of the limited intellect wholesale and who uses the head simply as one fine tool of many.
A human whose priority is no longer logic, but the embodiment of love.
A human who does not care to be rich on the outside but is fascinated by…

believe in the human species
Now is the time for us all to galvanize our belief in the survival of our species.

The indigenous view of our main human purpose or task, according to ninija is:
“…to communicate Earth’s enormous soul stored in the Milky Way and to communicate our own souls stored safely deep inside Father Earth’s body to each other and to all other beings.”

searching is pointless
If we continue to compulsively search for something we think we are missing, amassing money, love and knowledge from others outside, then we will never find our true selves or our true mission in life. In other words, we will always be restless and discontent: and we will likely die a futile bewildered death.
.
Before we can know the Great Truth we have to rid ourselvesof the…
