After Sitchin - Zecharia Sitchin Centers

The ULTIMATE

So even though agreeing with the Sitchin PARADIGM SHIFT, the next question after

helping to promulgate it, THEN WHAT?

It seems that Enki, Ninmah, and Ningishzidda

“secretly” upgraded the Adamu with FIVE leaps in evolution thus instilling in the Hybrid the ability to be self-aware, self-referent, and with the capacity to develop emotionally, intellectually, and especially spiritually.

So after these upgrades , WHAT NEXT? Perhaps the ULTIMATE step for Homo Sapiens Sapiens is Mysticism: reaching the state of HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS, that is, UNITED with ONENESS, the SOURCE, CONSCIOUSNESS-as-ENERGY. Quantum Physics is a big help here.

History Of Mysticism: The Unchanging Testament (3rd Rev. Ed.) (1996)

And so I wanted to show you the table of contents for your review.

Hoping that it might entice you to partake of such wonderful and blessed writings/thoughts/inspirations.

May you finally KNOW your true nature.

Reading more of Shankara (pages 187-196) in History of Mysticism, by S. Abhayananda, I find his Avaita Vedanta philosophy to be very stimulating.

A few sentences from him.

“When the one eternal Self is realized, there is no individualized soul; the soul exists only on the relative plane and not at all in the Absolute. For when the soul realizes the Self, it is no longer the soul; it is the Self.”

WHOM do you identify with? the products of Maya (the phenomenal world) or Absolute Reality?, I ask, as does Shankara.

Ken: so . . . the soul, when fully awakened, is ultimately absorbed into the Absolute Reality, and there is no separation, there is only ONE.

Advaita Vedanta: Shankara’s method of the practice of knowledge (jnan-abhyasa) is really the practice of intensely focused concentration of AWARENESS, ever on the alert to dispel ego-thoughts as they begin to arise from consciousness.

His method is intended to be as applicable subsequent to Self-realization as it is prior to that experience. We need to live in a state of constant IDENTIFICATION with the supreme Self, the undivided Absolute Reality (the GROUND or substratum of existence).

However, I, Ken, am finding this to be extremely difficult. It seems that my intellect is fighting against my intellect. On the one hand

I accept and agree that Shankara is PROBABLY correct; and yet, I find it hard to dispel Maya’s fascinating pull.

Another GREAT book that attempts to explain Advaita Vedanta BUT in a westernized version is:

THE BOOK, by Alan Watts. I AM IT, last chapter, says it all!!

Maybe, WITH the GRACE of the Godhead (The Eternal Absolute Reality, also known as CONSCIOUSNESS-as-ENERGY) this struggle will soon cease. As we say in Spanish: OJALA !

May it be!

Just wanted to share some EASTERN thought to Westerners who generally know very little of the Eastern teachers, saints, gurus, mystics, sacred scriptures, literature, etc.

More on EASTERN thought combined with Eastern Spirituality:

The Visionary Window: Quantum Enlightenment

Another book, by Chris H. Hardy will take us even further in our quest.

The Sacred Network: Megaliths, Cathedrals, Ley Lines, and the Power of Shared Consciousness, Chris H. Hardy Ph.D. (2011)

ENLIGHTENMENT STUDIES

There are numerous books on the subject of ENLIGHTENMENT from both the Western and Eastern viewpoints. One that I recommend

Enlightenment is a Four-Letter Word (2014)

The main theme here is: “Divinize the human and Humanize the Divine.”

Other books of interest in Enlightenment Studies:

The Void: Inner Spaciousness and Ego Structure A.H. Almaas (2000)

Ken: Almaas has written about 13 books, all really excellent, especially the DIAMOND HEART series. I absolutely LOVE this one , The VOID, as it’s the “place” I frequently try to rest in whenever possible.

Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing; Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment; and, Spiritual Warfare, by Jed McKenna,

From Onions to Pearls and From Seekers to Finders, both by Satyam Nadeen,

The Power of NOW; and, Stillness Speaks, both by Eckhart Tolle,

and finally The Heart of Awareness (a translation of the Ashtavakra Gita), by Thomas Byron.

-These books are a good preparation for Peace and Harmony in Daily Living, by Ramesh S. Balsekar.

Books, such as The Heart of Awareness, write about more general insights into the spiritual life. My Confessions of an Ex-Jesuit, Vols 1-3, on the other hand, attempt to apply the more generic to the concrete specific happenings/thoughts in my life.
