Tulkas, the reincarnation with retained previous-life memory of certain high level adepts.

Holger Kersten goes on to trace the remainder of Jesus’ life, providing logical argument for his survival of the Crucifixion. There are numerous mentions of him as Issa or Yuz Asaf in the Buddhist Sutras and as Ibn Yusf in Islamic writings. Most sources describe his past or note the crucifixion scars, making the identification unmistakable. Jesus survived and lived a very long and well-respected life as a holy man in India.16 The graves of Mary, Mary Magdalene and Yuz Asaf (Jesus) are known and considered places of worship in Mari, Pakistan (Mary), Kashgar, India (Mary Magdalene), and Srinagar, India (Jesus). The sites are clearly labeled.17 Kersten cites twenty-one documents that describe Jesus’ residence in Kashmir, India, after the crucifixion plus numerous indicative place-names.

THE REIKI PRINCIPLES8 Just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings. Just for today I will not worry. Just for today I will not be angry. Just for today I will do my work honestly. Just for today I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing.

To begin, find on yourself the two Bladder-10 acupuncture points. The pair is located on the back of the upper neck, on both sides of the spinal column where the boney structure of the head meets the neck. The points are two tiny depressions in the neck muscle under the skin. You know that you have found them by the strange sensation, which I describe as feeling like a thumbtack in the brain. It is not usually painful, unless your neck is out of alignment or the muscles are tense. Most of the time it will give you only an odd feeling. If you find one point, feel around for the other just across from it. Once you learn to find these points on yourself, try to find them on other people, until you become familiar with them. When you are doing healing and your hands are under the receiver’s head is the time to use this technique. Her head is resting in your palms. First find the points using the index fingers of both hands, one on each side of the neck. The woman can tell you when you have found these points, if you ask her help. It is important to be exactly on the points or nothing will happen. There are many pairs of such points along the line where the skull meets the neck, and most of them work. The Bladder-10 points are the closest to the spine but not directly over it. Once you have found the points, keep your fingers on them and apply a light pressure. The woman receiving this feels your fingers on the oddly sensitive spots. Then watch her breathing. Placing pressure o...

To do a “Big H,” the session’s leader remains at the head, placing her hands at the top of the receiver’s shoulders. The healers at the sides alternate their hands, placing them in a row along the receiver’s spine. Use as many hands as are available. One further healer may remain at the receiver’s feet. If there are only a few healers, the woman at the head may complete her position, then move to the side. The result of so many hands in a row along the body’s major energy channel is a tremendous flow of Reiki that moves down the spinal column and kundalini channel. The healers may feel the energy surging under their hands. Sometimes it feels as if the flow moves both up and down, and it can continue to do so for several minutes. Also try placing healers at the head and feet only and sending energy back and forth between them. For the last Reiki surge, make sure the flow goes to the feet. At the end of this healing, the receiver may take a longer time than usual to return to the present—she will be spacey for a longer amount of time. Combined with a Stillpoint, the “Big H” makes a wonderful session for someone with upper or lower back pain, disc problems, sciatica, spinal arthritis, neck injuries or leg pain.

“I ask for these things, or their equivalents or better, according to free will, harming none, and for the good of all.”

Unawakened Kundalini rests at the base of the spine, coiled in a spiraled serpent form, She is Kundalini Shakti—power consciousness. When she awakens, she rises along the Sushumna through the chakras to unite above the Crown chakra with Shiva—pure consciousness.

Awaken Healing Energy Through the Tao

The Sermon at Benares is the Buddha’s equivalent of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. In it, the gist of Buddhist teaching is given. There are “Four Noble Truths” that are contained in this document. The first is, “Existence is unhappiness.” The second is, “Unhappiness is caused by selfish craving.” Truth number three is, “Selfish craving can be destroyed.” The Eightfold Path is the fourth truth, by which this can happen. The Path’s steps are: 1) right understanding, 2) right purpose or aspiration, 3) right speech, 4) right conduct, 5) right vocation, 6) right effort, 7) right alertness, and 8) right concentration.2

suffering is caused by attachment to the process of living and to other people. The cravings of life can never be fully satisfied. This attachment results in frustration and negative action that generate karma. Life creates karma which makes the necessity for further lifetimes, as karma is both made and cleared while in the body. Attachment and craving can be released and karma healed so that the soul no longer needs to return to be embodied. In Buddhism this is the way to end unhappiness, and the only real means of healing—to end reincarnation. The Eightfold Path, the Buddhist moral code and equivalent of the Ten Commandments, provides the means to accomplish this.

Effort, alertness and concentration—the means of controlling the mind—are among the skills required to meet the goal, as reality is subject to the mind’s creation. When the mind is completely freed of attachment or craving, the person enters Nirvana and no longer needs to be reborn. Understanding the truth of the Mind and the process of existence results in this freedom.

Nirvana is described not as extinction, but as “liberation, inward peace and strength, insight into truth, the joy of complete oneness with reality, and love toward all creatures in the universe.”

Reality is created by the action of Mind from the Void. The Void is the depths of fathomless peace, purity, perfection, mystery and joy. In Wiccan terms it is Spirit, Ether or Goddess. All Be-ing comes from the Void, and it is the essence of all existence. All Be-ing (everyone) is already in a state of perfection, a part of the Buddha Nature (or Goddess Within). Reality is also the Non-Void, which is all potential, and a vast complex of worlds and shifting universes. Mind emerging from the Void is the first Buddha source, but this source is obscured to most people by the illusion of the senses, the Non-Void. The reality created by this obscuring of Pure Mind is like the reality created in a mirror. People in incarnation do not awaken to their intrinsic purity (the Void) which exists beyond the senses. Their understanding is based upon the Non-Void’s illusion. A distorted mind on Earth acts to creates a distorted reality, resulting in suffering.

Wisdom=energy=creation is the Void, and participates in Nirvana.

The foundation of Buddhist teaching lies in the Divine Abodes, the qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity.

A Bodhisattva is someone who has achieved Enlightenment, but delays his or her entry into Nirvana until everyone achieves Enlightenment with her.
