The truth about Judas Iscariot?

 

This is one of my favorite books of all time; Flight of the Feathered Serpent by Armando Cosani.

It is a fascinating book, which portrays Judas Iscariot – the ‘traitor’ who gave Jesus away – in a very different light to that which history has led us to believe. It also contains a profound spiritual message the reveals the secret potential within us all.

It seems I’m not the only one who loves this book – The Flight of the Feathered Serpent won 1^st place in the category Religion: Christianity, in the USA Book News National “Best Books 2009″ awards.

An award very much deserved!

Here is a trailer that has just been released about the book. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is yearning for spiritual truth, it truly is an amazing read.

 

Which Wolf Wins?

One evening, an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, “My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all.

One wolf is Evil: It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other wolf is Good: It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:

“Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied:

 

“The one you feed.”

Practical investigation challenge: Using the mantra “ISIS” for clairvoyance.

A while back I made a post about mantras, and how certain mantras can temporarily activate psychic faculties.

This week some of the Gnosticweb students are are putting their abilities to the test with a practical investigation challenge: Using the mantra “ISIS” for clairvoyance.

Clairvoyance is the ability to ’see’ into the higher dimensions and perceive things that you cannot otherwise see physically. It is a faculty of the third eye chakra, which is situated between the eyebrows.  ‘ISIS’ is an effective mantra for stimulating this chakra, and thus temporarily activating clairvoyance.

I have placed a piece of paper with ’something’ on it into an envelope. And the challenge for this week is to practice the mantra to stimulate the chakra, with the aim of clairvoyantly ’seeing’ what is in the envelope.

Last time we played this game, the mystery ’something’ was an orange star, and some students got some really promising results! This time it is something different.

This is a great opportunity to look into the effects mantras can have on us, and how psychic faculties work. So I thought I would open up the challenge to all of you as well! Can you ’see’ what is on the piece of paper in the envelope?!

I have made a sound file of what this mantra sounds like, which is available for free download from the “Mantras for Awakening Psychic Faculties”  post. Just click on the “ISIS” link in the post to take you to the download page.

So that you can get the full effects of this mantra, try to do it daily for at least 20 to 30 minutes. If this is too long for you at first, you may like to start off with at least 10 minutes and gradually increase the time each day by a few minutes. If you can do longer that’s great, but it’s important not to force the practice, so only continue for as long as you feel comfortable. Otherwise you will build up a resistance to doing it.

If you are able to do this practice more than once a day that would be good too!

It is ideal if you are able to do the mantra out loud, but if you can’t because of your surroundings, you can say the mantra internally in your mind.

On Saturday the 24th I will reveal what is inside the mystery envelope, and you can see how you went! But in the meantime if you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to post in the comments section below. The discussion can be really helpful for everyone

Good luck and all the Strength in your investigations!

Free courses in Dreams and Out-of-Body Experiences, Meditation, & Self-Discovery

The next round of the free on-line courses at Gnosticweb start today!

These courses are the best thing I have ever done, so much so that currently I am in training to teach them to others!

They have brought so many wonderful changes to my life, and I have had some amazing experiences because of them. I hope that others will be able to benefit like I have from these teachings, so what better way than to learn to teach them myself! 

Obviously there is no financial gain from this as all the courses are free of charge, but “true spirituality should never be for profit”.  In this day and age, it’s amazing that something so valuable doesn’t cost anything.

So if you are interested in Dreams and Out-of-Body Experiences, Meditation, or Self-Discovery, check them out! You’re not too late to register! 

(And if you happen to stuble across this post after today, you may not have missed the boat – shoot an email to course@gnosticweb.com and they may still be able to register you after the 11th).

 

 

Astral website

I’ve been checking out a really cool website “Astralweb.com”, which is all about out-of-body experiences and the astral plane. I love reading the personal accounts of people’s experiences, some of them are SO interesting! I’ve even contributed a couple of articles myself recently (however there are much more interesting ones than mine there, LOL)!

There are also videotaped accounts and interviews, and I highly recommend one particularly interesting radio interview done on Triple H Radio in Sydney Australia (the top one): http://www.astralweb.com/audio

Check it out!

The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes

Wow. She said it far better than I could. What an amazing young girl.

 

Gazing into the Eternal.

Life. So fleeting.

Do you ever ponder about life?   Why you are here?   What is the point?   Is this ALL there is, or is there more to life than this?   What is the purpose?   What happens when you die?   Do you believe in something?   Rather than believe, do you actually know?  Can you actually know?

What if you could…?        http://cli.gs/uh3USE

Mantra to remember dreams

The mantra RAOM GAOM is a mantra to remember your dreams, and it’s amazing just how effective it is.

It is the first mantra I ever learned when I took the Dreams and Out-of-Body Experiences course for the first time, and I was amazed to discover it really works! It’s one of my favorite mantras.

As soon as you wake up in the morning, keep your eyes closed and lie perfectly still (if you don’t move at all during the transition from sleep to wakefulness it is most effective) and you pronounce this mantra internally (in your head) for about 10 minutes, or until your dreams start coming back to you. Then focus on your dream(s) and remember as much as you can. When you can’t remember any more, start saying the mantra internally again, and you’ll find even more dreams come back to you.

It works because there are parts of us (including chakras) that the mantra stimulates and activates.

This video was taken at a Gnostic retreat my husband and I attended in July this year, where we did the mantra RAOM GAOM as a group. Have a listen and become familiar with it so that you can try it out yourself. I’d love to hear back from you about how you found it and if it worked for you, so I welcome your comments and feedback!

 

 

Stupid Pride.

It is said that ‘pride makes us stupid’, in that it clouds us from seeing things objectively and distorts our perception of the way things really are.

Through observing myself, I have seen that when my pride has been bruised, it sparks that little voice within that likes to argue, justify and self-talk it’s way through to the delusion of being right. Further, there’s a certain pleasure that comes from this internal dialog that is really hypnotizing, and it takes a lot of effort not indulge it.

This is something that I have been battling with lately. ‘Hurt feelings’. And I have seen just how ugly that little voice within can be, internally lashing out with a ghastly negativity towards the perpetrators of my perceived grievance.

This is where the buck must stop with me. Regardless of the circumstances I find myself in, I must not allow this negativity to manifest.

A Great Teacher once said that negativity permeates though the higher dimensions and actually does harm to others (and ourselves), even though we can’t see it. It’s a grotesque, monstrous pollutant that is absolutely toxic, and if we could only see its ugliness then we would see we have an urgent responsibility to keep our feelings in check.

Whether I am right or not it is irrelevant, so the little internal voice that wants to convince me that I am is a treacherous deception. That voice that tells me how justified I am is a lie.

The truth is, the situation presents me with a choice:

One one hand, I have an opportunity to see this ugly monster within and work towards eliminating it. In that sense, the situation is a gift, a blessing to which I should give thanks.

On the other hand, I can indulge this ugly monster within, and feel justified in harboring the destructive, harmful vibrations of anger, hurt and negativity, deluded that I am right. In that sense, the situation becomes a curse.

Each moment, we have that choice.

Some moments it seems I am winning this battle, some moments (more than I would like to admit) I am losing. But I have to keep fighting from moment to moment, for there is too much at stake. I don’t want to have this toxic monster within me any more.
