Mahar an 'extraplanetary
world'
The existence of many worlds is described in the ancient Sanskrit
texts, the Mahabharata and the Puranas. These worlds are termed LOKAS in Sanskrit.
The world where the humans live is formed by four
spheres called Bhur, Bhuvar, Svar, and Mahar.
The French scholar and metaphysical author
Alain Danielou in his
classic 'While the Gods Play' suggests that this extraplanetary
world Mahar is the world we attribute to the extraterrestrials.
Danielou says that it is in,
"Mahar that some men will find refuge at
the time of the catastrophe that will destroy the entire species at
the end of the Kali Yuga."
He quotes from the Linga Purana:
"When the dissolution of the world seems imminent, some people
abandon the earth during the last days of the Kalpa and take refuge
in the world of Mahar [the extraplanetary world] and from there will
return to the 'world of life' (jana-loka)."
Danielou states that these few humans who survive the holocaust will
be the progenitors of the future humanity.
"Seven humanities must
again succeed each other on earth, and when the Golden Age [Satya
Yuga] reappears, seven sages will emerge to again teach the divine
law to the survivors… [Shiva Purana]"
Thus we are assured of 'world without end' and the continuation of
the human DNA with its unique ability to achieve God-Consciousness
Enlightenment through the activation of the seven chakras, which
allow access to all the worlds, the spectrum of all frequency
waveforms.
This chakra system mechanism permits us to enjoy and
experience all the possible worlds - from the highest most pure
immortal and angelic to the darkest vile demonic - and is said to be
envied by the extraterrestrials.
In fact it has been said that the
reason for
the Grey's hybridization efforts is the retrieve this
capacity for all inclusive spiritual experiences back into their own
DNA, which they programmed out eons ago because of excess and abuse.
Connecting with God-Consciousness always necessitates purity,
vigilance, and walking the Razor's Edge.
Endless Worlds
The Kashmir Shaivite Abhinavagupta [990-1015 A.D. Kashmir] was not
only a great saint, but also an exceptional intellectual genius.
This is an excerpt from the 8th Chapter of
Abhinavagupta's Tantra
Loka as illumined by the Kashmir Shaivite saint and scholar Swami
Lakshmanjoo:
Swami Lakshmanjoo:
But Abhinavagupta afterwards concludes that,
"I have experienced in
my samadhi one hundred and eighteen worlds, (but) I don't know if
there are more worlds also created, which are outside my
consciousness, outside my reach."
So there is possibility of more worlds also,
existing everywhere.
You must see what is created... (laughs)... you must see what
is created by God and then you put your I consciousness in that and
then you will come to know the vastness of that God consciousness.
He will experience the vastness of God consciousness.
So this orbit of space is most necessary subject…
JOHN:
So the point of the measuring this universe is to insert your
consciousness.
SWAMIJI:
Insert your consciousness in that.
DENISE:
In that vastness.
SWAMIJI:
What is universe... what is everything?
You must know, what is everything. Everything is not only your
country in which you are existing. Everything is everything!
Whatever is existing, whatever is not existing in your
consciousness, that is everything.
What is existing in your consciousness? One hundred and eighteen
worlds. What is not existing in your consciousness? It is beyond one
hundred and eighteen worlds.
DENISE:
Maybe more?
SWAMIJI:
Maybe more, you can't know. There is no end to His
expansion.
What is to be done then afterwards, when you know what actually
universe is?
NOTE: John and Denise Hughes have kindly given me permission to post this
excerpt.
By this we understand that
this universe is indeed inhabited by many
beings in many worlds.
How can we deny this when 500 billion
galaxies have now been seen by astronomers?
However, there is a
balance, a fine subtle line of balance to be found in both the
awareness that there are thousands of other beings and varieties of
life forms throughout the universe - while simultaneously realizing
that we are not to bow-down-and-worship these entities, no matter
how much more advanced their technology may be.
We will not be
served by worshiping beings with bodies of light who come in
inter-dimensional space-craft, or even on magnificent golden wings.
We are best served by loving and finding our sole refuge in the
God-within our own Heart.
The 'Pitaram'
the progenitors of mankind…
The sciences of the ancient Rishis, the Seers who composed the Rig
Veda - and likewise the beings who colonized our planet Earth - was
not mere physics, not Newtonian or quantum, and although the
concepts of plasma may be getting closer, not even plasma physics as
currently understood.
The science and physics of our progenitors,
the Pitaram as they are known in Sanskrit, was and is based within
primordial metaphysics.
The 'Pitaram' are the progenitors of mankind and are said to inhabit
the Bhuvar region of the air and orbit the Moon as regents of the
Naksatras Maghâ (29˚Sagittarius to 9˚Capricorn) and Mûla (29˚Leo
- 9˚Virgo) in the heavens above us.

English Dictionary, Vol. 1, page 911-12.
Impenetrable
protecting Veils
I do not believe that the ETs are all evil, neither are they all
good.
Some definitely appear to have self-serving unpleasant
toxic-to-humans agendas. However if they wanted to destroy us, they
could have done so long ago.
I do feel these
secret black projects
that were formed to build useless weapons to defend earth from these
entities, have had unintended consequences and caused real pain,
confusion and suffering to the very humans I hope they were
initially meant to protect.
The need to accumulate incredible sums of money to fund these
projects has resulted in a loss of trust, a proliferation of the
worst kind of greed and malfeasance in economics, and perhaps the
breakdown of western civilization itself.
In seeking to save us,
have our misguided short-sighted leaders led us to the edge of the
Abyss - and in the process, perhaps proving that we earthlings do
not deserve this jewel of a planet after all?
God's ultimate
Secrets are eternally sealed and protected…
We need not concern ourselves that any group will ever be able to
master a technology that could disturb the Creator's Divine Plan,
the warp and weave of this universe.
For God's ultimate Secrets are
eternally sealed and protected in Veils that repel all lower states
of fear, tyranny and greed consciousness.
Only those who have
evolved to embrace the understanding that 'All are the One' can lift
the timeless layers of Veils, the impenetrable Wall that keeps
secret and safe ultimate Truth.
Spiritual Hierarchies:
"Far from being contained in any of them…"
"Beyond all the states" meaning
the Myriad Realms, spiritual
hierarchies, angelic,
astral plane entities, ETs, etc.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, I.iv.10:
And to this day, [those] who… know
the self as I am Brahman [the One], become all this universe.
Even
the gods [any other dimensional beings] cannot prevent his becoming
this, for he has become their Self.
…if a man worships another deity thinking: He is one and I am
another, he does not know. He [who does not know] is like a
sacrificial animal to the gods. As many animals serve a man, so does
each man serve the gods.
Even if one animal is taken away, it causes
anguish to the owner; how much more so when many are taken away!
Therefore it is not pleasing to the gods that men should know this
[that they are the One].
Rene Guenon explains the verse thus:
The being who has become
Liberated from the bonds of temporal illusion, possesses all states
of the Absolute [the One] in all their degrees 'because they are
integral elements of his totalization.'
In reality those who have
reached Union and are Liberated are really 'beyond all the states
and far from being contained in any of them, contains them all
within himself' and in no way is affected by their conditions.
This is precisely what Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita IX.4 and 5,
in his rather puzzling riddle-like statement:
"This whole universe is strung on Me [the One] and pervaded by Me in
My Unimanifest aspect. All beings abide in Me; I do not abide in
them. And yet beings do not abide in Me.
Behold my divine supernal
power of yoga! While sustaining the creatures and giving them being,
my Self is not confined to any of them."
Swami Muni Narayana Prasad translates these two mysterious verses
as:
"This changeful world is pervaded by Me; I am the one reality
that is here described as 'indistinct' (avyakta).
However, though
all has come into being exists in Me, my being is not found in them.
Yet beings have no existence in Me. This all-reigning yoga-state of
Mine, you will have to perceive intuitively.
Though reigning over
all-apparent forms causing their emergence, My self-being is not in
them."
Become the
Liberated!
Rene Guenon concludes his reflections on the Spiritual Hierarchies
by saying that the being who has achieved Liberation in life, jivan
mukta, becomes essentially unconditioned, since all conditions exist
for him in their illusory mode and have not effect on his
consciousness, which is joined in God-Consciousness.
The appearance
of form may continue, in other words we may remain in our
data-collecting vehicle for a time.
The Samkhya Karika of Ishvara Krishna compares this period to a
potter's wheel that continues,
'to rotate for a while even though the
potter has ceased from action, owing to the momentum of past
impulses of the action. When, however, in the course of time, the
impulse is exhausted, it becomes inactive…
Because of the momentum
of this impulse, the Spirit continues to inhabit the body for a
while.'
Rene Guenon:
"[The Liberated ones] remain equally 'unaffected' by
all the other contingencies, to whatever state, individual or
supra-individual, that is, formal [meaning in form] or nonformal,
they refer in the order of manifestation, which in itself is
fundamentally only the sum of all contingences."
The Liberated
become the Self of All!
ET-Astral
Manipulation
of Third-Dimensional Planet Earth
Through the Cycles of
Time
Keep mind that everything is Isness, the One, the Presence,
everything is a temporal illusory hologram and no
Loka world is more
real than another.
As we move through the
Cycles of Time, these
beings that are invisible to our current five-sense perception play
their part in holding us in the illusion that becomes more powerful,
solid and dense as time moves through out the cycles leading up to
the Twilight of the Kali Yuga - now.
There are many beings of varying states of consciousness that for
literally millions of years have interacted with this planet. Some
might call them gods, while others may know them as etheric beings
or perhaps extraterrestrials - a word that only means not of this
earth, extra-terra.
The Sanskrit Puranas describe these worlds.
"The stars in the form of constellations are mentioned along with
the planets wherein are situated the residences of the gods who have
performed meritorious acts."
[VAYU PURANA 1.93]
There are seven higher worlds and seven lower worlds in Hindu
metaphysics.
These LOKA worlds reflect a wide spectrum of
consciousness, as they are made up of specific frequencies of
waveforms. Perhaps the demon worlds of the Sanskrit Puranic texts,
the anti-gods, the Asuras and Raksasas, are reptoid or Borg-like
extraterrestrials.
The VAYU Purana contains amazingly detailed descriptions of an
eighth world, dazzling and bejeweled, inhabited by hybrid beings,
meaning for example half-lion and half-human.
VAYA PURANA
Chapter 39
[230] Beyond Brahmaloka and beneath the upper crust of the Cosmic
Egg - in between these two is the PURA (Shiva's city), his divine
abode MANOMAYA (consisting of the mind).
[238] The city shines much with scattered diamond dust.
These worlds are light from within, meaning their reality does not
consist of reflected light, as does our solid five-sense material
world.
[239-42] … there are divine lotuses… made of gold… their inner
surfaces are very tender. The lotuses covering up the whole place
seem to be so many umbrellas.
Are these gold umbrellas some sort of protective technology? Are
these beings vulnerable to Cosmic Rays, Gamma and X-Rays as we are?
[260-263] Some [of the inhabitants] are… horse-faced… a few have the
faces of the lord of the beasts; other have faces and bellies like
those of elephants, others are elephant-faced; a few are lion-faced
and tiger-faced… others can assume any form they wish.
If this had been translated before today's science began to fool
around with genetic manipulation, naturally these creatures would
have been seen as 'mythology'.
The same images of human bodies with
animal heads are sprinkled on the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian
cuneiform tablets.
[264-266] Lord Mahesvara [the transcendent Lord Shiva] of ten arms
sports therein… He is being respected and diligently worshipped by
those people moving about in aerial chariots.
Evidently these gods have their own space ships!
The Phantasmal
Hierarchies
As the frequencies continued to fall through the Cycles of Time,
there emerged beings of both a higher and lower consciousness.
The
various entities, some who are very compassionate and others
tyrannical, began to project astral-world realms out into the
hologram.
I have named these worlds the Phantasmal Hierarchies from the word
phantasm, which according to the Oxford Etymological Dictionary of
the English Language, 1974, means a spectre.
A phantasm-agora is a
collection of spectres as shown by a magic lantern.
These hierarchies are temporal illusions.
Down though time, the elaborate rituals of the Treta and Dvapara
Yuga turned into belief systems. The beings involved projected an
assortment of hierarchical worlds related to the specific
frequencies generated by their thoughts.
Keep in mind that
everything is a temporal illusory hologram and no world is any more
'real' than another.
Only Oneness is REAL.
With the creation of these Phantasmal Hierarchies, certain
individual gods came to dominate others - and in a way, utilize
their energy. Obviously these are not all beings of the highest
consciousness, but they are a part of Oneness nevertheless and we
have moved out of the golden era and the collective understanding
and memory of our Oneness.
I suggest that many of these entities are the so-called
extraterrestrials and are from lower Loka Worlds.
By exploiting the
use of ritual,
the manipulative tyrant beings pass themselves off as
gods and trick us humans into worshipping them and giving them our
energy.
By these occult, a term that simply means
hidden, means
these entities thus generated an abundant energy source that has
been used to build the so-called
astral worlds and enhance the
splendor of the Phantasmal Hierarchies.
Perhaps you can equate this bow-down-and-worship practice with the
act of giving up your own hard earned money. When you worship
another you literally give up your power, your energy, your ability
to think for yourself to whatever you worship.
God is within us all. The SELF/ATMA dwells in the Heart of everyone.
So even though we may respect and love many - why would we worship
any other than the God-within?
Now I would suggest that the idea of BHAKTI and the term devotion,
as it is used by Krishna in the
Bhagavad Gita, are very different
from the concept of worship.
To me Bhakti Yoga implies Union, the
act of becoming one with that which you already are. Worship might
be defined as an act limited to energy focused on external entity - not the SELF/ATMA within
- to achieve certain results.
Rituals can be very beautiful and can unite us in feeling, giving us
an opportunity to express our Love for the Supreme Being.
But
rituals are not meant to be a substitute for the experience and
knowledge of Oneness. Rituals will tie you into the temporal
illusory hologram, but not liberate you from it.
To make way for the
return of the Golden Age, the Satya/Krita Yuga, we need to remember
that God lies within the Heart of every man, woman and child.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna very clearly disdains the practice of
making sacrifices to achieve certain worldly results or to spend
time in any of the heavenly realms.
He says that he cannot be seen
with the aid of the Vedas, austerities, gifts, and sacrifices. He
can only be seen through the practice of BHAKTI [Bhagavad Gita
33.11.52-55], which to me implies UNION, the act of becoming ONE
with that which you already are and have always been.
To become One
with the Self/ATMA that dwells in your Heart, you do not have to
perform ritual sacrifices.
In the Uddhava Gita Krishna says that the wise understand that the
rewards of heaven, which are promised by religious rituals are as
transient as pleasures on earth. [Dialogue 14.18]
Even the higher heavenly worlds of the gods, rishis, seers, saints
and angels are temporal:
…the rewards of those of little wit are ephemeral: God worshippers
go to the Gods.
[Bhagavad Gita 29.7.23]
As an artist, I have loved and studied religious iconography all my
life.
I love the images of religious faith and passion. And as
someone who is naturally drawn to practice BHAKTI yoga, I love the
representations of the gods in Hinduism and Buddhism.
I myself have
many of these, but from my own experience I realize how easy it is
to project my feelings into these images and then over time forget
that they are only stone, wood and metal. I leave a part of myself
there, waiting, and having thus externalized my consciousness, I
neglect the SELF/ATMA within my own Heart.
A similar process takes place with the winners of fame, although
perhaps on a less perilous level.
These days the public worships a
wide spectrum of famous people from those who are rich and powerful,
to rock stars and athletes. For example with film stars, people tend
to see themselves in these wonderful actors and either love or hate
them accordingly.
But in truth, the public does not know the actor
- you only know what the directors and writers have projected into
them, along with what you see of yourself in them. This ability to
perform a wide spectrum of human nature is the actor's talent - but
it is not who they are.
Only their close friends and family ever
know them.
While it is lovely and uplifting to have ceremonies, rituals, and
prayers to higher beings - it is crucial, especially in this moment
in time, to remember the God-within, the SELF/ATMA.
We become as little children, to regain our primordial innocence - we do not wish to remain childish, forever waiting for parental care
and handouts.
The nature of the Golden Age,
the Satya Yuga, the Age of Truth, is
that we all Remember who we are, we know that we are Oneness, and
thus there is no reason to worship anything or anyone.
How can we
move into a Golden Era when we are still externalizing our own
God-SELF?
I hope I have made some clarification for you regarding the Myriad
realms, the astral planes and the ETs. They are all temporal and
cannot give you your own Enlightenment. Thus remove your focus in
consciousness from them and turn within to the One that you are and
have always been.
This One God-within you, that simultaneously
pervades and permeates the entire universe, is waiting patiently to
Love you and be Loved by you in sweet moments of Return Home.
This
is Truth. Everything else is dissolving temporal Illusion.
ALL magic, occultism, and sacrificial rites for personal gain fall
into the category of manipulating the Temporal Illusory Realms and
are a complete waste of your time.
Unless you enjoy being one of those little silver balls in a pinball
machine.
Just as laboring to acquire the Siddhic powers, that will unfold
quite naturally as you evolve, is a waste of time and effort.
Just as
channeling ETs, spirits, and angels is nothing more than a
time-pass.
How can they gift you with the enlightenment they
themselves do not possess?
Only the God-within you can bring you Home.
Withdraw from the objects of the senses, and turn your complete and
total attention to the God-within your Heart.
Sacrificing and renouncing your attachment to the temporal illusory
hologram based on Knowledge of
the Real will bring you liberation.
Why settle for the small results today or tomorrow, when the Eternal
Oneness of Union awaits your call!
