Awakened Mindz

What is Reality? Except for a pre-concieved notion deciphered by the limitations that an upbringing within a modern society can super impose upon humanity. How the few control the many to believe that what we experience in our waking state is all that there is to our lives, when there is so much more of a deeper resonance to our existence on this earth plane than our human eye and our five senses could ever hope to discover. Know the answer, don't ask it...we are each a part of the universal mind, our knowledge is infinite, it is within our capacity to live our dream as we reach out of our structured little boxes....Disobey all forms of tyranny of the mind, body and spirit, know thy self to be truly set free!!!

Inanna & Tiamat

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 11:43:03 CST

Inanna is regarded as a daughter of the sky-god An. But she was also seen as the daughter of the moon-goddess Ningal and her consort Nanna. She is the sister of the underworld goddess Ereschkial and of the sungod Utu. The Sumerian great "Lady Queen of Heaven" (Ninanna) who appears in two sources: the Gilgamesh Epic, where she aids the hero and tries to seduce him, and in the Cycle of Inanna, a collection of poems concerning her relation - in life and death - to her brother and lover, the vegetation-god Dumuzi (akk. Tammuz). Inanna figures prominently in various myths, such as 'Inanna's descent to the underworld'. In this particular myth she travels to the realm of the dead and claims its ruling. However, her sister Ereshkigal, who rules the place, sentences her to death. With Inanna's death, however, nature died with her and nothing would grow anymore. Through the intervention of the god Enki she could be reborn if another person took her place. She choose her beloved consort Dumuzi, who would from then on rule the underworld every half year. This myth has some relations to the Demetermyth as well as to celtic believes. The vegetation dies and gets reborn. Tiamat was the ancient Sumero-Babylonian personification of the primordial salt waters of chaos. With her consort Apsu, the 'sweet' water, Tiamat mothered the first generation of the gods. Tiamat took the form of a gigantic winged dragon, whose body was split in two by the hero marduk to create the heavens and the firmament: her upper body became the vault of heaven; the lower, the earth; her blood, the oceans.

Day of the Dead Celebration Ball

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:12:35 CST

History of The Day of the Dead, All Souls Day, is an official holiday of the Catholic Calendar. All Souls Day is on November 2, following All Saints Day. The choice of November 2 is traditionally attributed to St. Odilo, the fifth abbot of Cluny (city of France famous for the Abby), because he wanted to follow the example of Cluny in offering special prayers and singing the Office of the Dead on the day following the feast of All Saints. The day was founded to honor all the faithful departed and along with the offerings and the Office of the Dead, there are three Requiem Masses that are said by the clergy to assist the souls from Purgatory to Heaven. The modern view of death derives in part from Pre-Hispanic times. The Aztecs played a very important role in the development of this tradition. Through their history this festival emerged as one of complexity and varied interpretations. The Aztecs had various perceptions of their world. Perceptions as simplistic as a "flat disc" surrounded by water, to a toad floating in a water-lily filled sea. In this world were contained different directions with various associated colors and symbols to each direction and level. One of the most important of these interpretations is that of the terms of a person's death. The Aztecs believed that after a person died, his/her soul would pass through nine levels prior to their final destination, Mictlan - the place of the dead. They also believed that a person's destiny was founded at birth and that the soul of that person was dependent on the type of death rather than the type of life lead by that person. How a person died would also determine what region they would go to. Once they arrived to their specific region a person's soul would either await transformation or linger, awaiting the next destiny. Two months of the Aztec calendar were devoted to the dead. The ninth month was dedicated to infants, and the tenth month included a great feast for dead adults. The Spanish Conquest of 1521 brought about the fusion of Catholic attitudes and indigenous beliefs. The Day of the Dead was revealed as a result of amalgamation of Pre-Spanish Indian ritual beliefs and the imposed ritual and dogma of the Catholic church.

One of his students asked Buddha, "Are you the messiah?" "No", answered Buddha. "Then are you a healer?" "No", Buddha replied. "Then are you a teacher?" the student persisted. "No, I am not a teacher." "Then what are you?" asked the student, exasperated. "I am awake", Buddha replied.

The Fragrance of the Rose The disciples were absorbed in a discussion of Lao-tzu’s dictum: "Those who know, do not say; Those who say, do not know." When the master entered, they asked him what the words meant. Said the master, "Which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?" All of them indicated that they knew. Then he said, "Put it into words." All of them were silent.

Connecting with the Gods

Love yourself and be awake - today, tomorrow, always. First establish yourself in the way, then teach others, and so defeat sorrow. To straighten the crooked you must first do a harder thing - straighten yourself. You are the only master. Who else? Subdue yourself, and discover your master.

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger and attachment, fear and suspicion,while love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests.After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto. Buddha

Veils of Perceptions

In the shamanic belief every thing is alive and carries with it power and wisdom.Power animals are an essential component of shamanic practice.They are the helping spirit which add to the power of the shaman and are essential for success in any venture undertaken by the shaman. Shamans believe that everyone has power animals,animal spirits which reside within each individual adding to their power and protecting them from illness,acting similarly to a guardian angel.Each power animal that you have increases your power so that illnesses or negative energy cannot enter your body.The spirit also lends you the wisdom of its kind.A hawk spirit will give you hawk wisdom, and lend you some of the attributes of hawk. Everyone is thought to have a few of these guardian power animals or it is thought that the individual could not survive childhood.Over the course of her or his life the person may have several.If a power animal leaves and one does not come to take its place the individual is considered, by the shaman, to be disempowered and therefore vulnerable to illness and bad luck. Do you know your power animal?

Food of the Gods

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:12:35 CST

"Food of the Gods", was inspired by the book of the same title by Terrance Mckenna, it combines elements of various world cultures embraced by the masculine/feminine shaman as it pulls back the layers of illusions that hide the many from the truth. In honor of the ancient teacher plant spirit that leads one through inter-dimensional journies of inner space. I sincerely believe that if world leaders would take part in the sacred ceremony as guided by true shamans the world would be a much more compassionate and saner realm…

Samsara

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:12:35 CST

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. In this thankfulness each of US have a role to play to be vigilant of those that are here to serve We the People, we are the keepers of LIBERTY as we are adrift within the deceptionary seas of Samsara, our double attention of awareness must always be alert of the dark shifts of centralized power that is occurring internationally. Let us be AWAKENED on this earth plane to REPEL all forms of TYRANNY over the Human Spirit! We are each a fragment of "DIVINE CREATOR" therefore it is up to EACH of us to "evolve or devolve"....

“Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth’s furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life, And to love life through labor is to be intimate with life’s inmost secret.” ~ Kahlil Gibran 20th century Syrian-born mystic poet, philosopher, and artist
