Realizing Oneness

January 9, 2012 by TheTaoOfD 2 Comments

As you go out on the astral plane you see more and more. The final thing you see in the world of form before you go into the formless and into total unity, you see the world of Yin & Yang.

The world of Yin & Yang is another astral plane.

It’s one of the highest planes in the world of form.

But, it’s still duality. It is still polarization.

There is God. There is man.

There is good. There is evil.

Yes – No.

Pleasure – Pain.

Loss – Gain.

The world most everybody is living in, most of the time.

The only way out of that is to take the poles of every set of opposites and see the way in which they are one.

And: if you can get into that place where you see the interrelatedness of EVERYTHING.

And: you see the oneness in it all. Then, no longer are you attached to your polarized position.

The whole thing about generation gaps is a hype.

The Spirit IS The Spirit.

When you can center and see your whole life as a story in which chapters are unfolding then, the moment-to-moment ego involvement: “Am I getting enough at this moment?” ceases to be a dominant theme.

And: you start to live in the TAO (The Way).

Jesus said “I am the Way.”

It’s the same Way!

THE WAY

IS THE WAY IS

THE WAY.

The way is the harmony of the universe when one comes into the spirit.

When one sees hot it is, one understands that behind all the individual differences:

Man – woman.

Big – little.

Old – young.

Good – bad.

Every label you can think of becomes background instead of figure.

What stands out is:

Here we are. Here & now. That’s all there is. If it isn’t beautiful, man, there’s NOTHING.

So you say: ” Well, I can’t have it beautiful now, but, later! When we get the food home it will be beautiful.”

LATER NEVER EXISTS.

Maps of Hidden Places

December 11, 2011 by TheTaoOfD 7 Comments

This is the Piri Reis Map, which is a genuine document, not a hoax of any kind, that was made at Constantinople in AD 1513. The lower part of the map portrays the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Land Antarctica, and the Palmer Peninsula.

The geographical detail shown in the lower part of the map “agrees very remarkably with the results of the seismic profile made across the top of the ice cap by the Swedish-British Antarctic Expedition of 1949.”

This means that the coastline had been mapped before it was covered by the ice-cap.

“We have no idea how the data on this map can be reconciled with the supposed state of geographical knowledge in 1513.” -Harold Ohlmeyer Lt Colonel, USAF, after evaluating features of the Pirir Reis World Map.

The best recent evidence suggests that Queens Maud Land, and the neighboring regions shown on the map, passed through a long ice-free period which may not have come completely to an end until about six thousand years ago.

Piri Reis could not have acquired his information through explorers of his time because Antarctica remained undiscovered until 1818, more than 300 years after he drew the map.

Piri Reis himself said he based the map on even older maps.

Map making is a complex and civilized activity.He argued that some of the source maps used, in particular those said to date back to the fourth century BC, had themselves been based on even earlier sources.

Many of these maps that Piri Reis used as his sources, along with many other historical evidence were burned to ash when the great library of Alexandria in Egypt was burned to the ground by the Romans.

The ice free coast of Queen Maud Land shown in the map has remained one of the biggest mysteries to geologists because evidence confirms that the latest date it could have been surveyed and charted in an ice free condition is 4000 BC.

There has yet to be an explanation for who or what could have had the knowledge and technology to make an accurate map six thousand years ago, well before the development of the first true civilizations recognized by historians.
