White Tantra focuses more on the internal practices such as Meditation, Japa, Pranayama, Dharana such as Visualization etc... and very little on sexual practices if at all.  The aim is Mukti or Spiritual Emancipation above all things.

Howdy Apprentices and friends,

Physically, we have five senses, and all of them can be used to "see" in the spirit world. Some people can do only one, some do two or three of them, and some people can use all five. But, increasingly, there is a sixth sense that is coming into play where people simply "know" what is there. People with this knowing may still have access to some of the usual ways, but then again, they may not. The only way to learn what ways work for you is to try each one, and note what comes to you in the process. In due time then you will get used to working in the ways that work for you, but simply "knowing" is the hardest one even though it is considered to be the highest evolution in "spiritual sight." In the case of simply knowing, you generally have it right when you know what is there with an unshakable certainty that it is so. 

Of course, a part of the process is understanding what you see. Consider this from our Apprentice in Ireland. A friend of her's recently saw her in the clothes she was wearing at the time, but he saw her with red on her face. In the spirit world we appear according to our thoughts. Physically, she is one of the most beautiful young ladies any of us will ever likely meet in this world, but it the spirit world then we all appear according to the emotions and beauty, or lack of it, in our thoughts. In the spirit world, colors mean a lot of the same things they have attributed to them in this dimension, and we appear according to our emotions. If you are feeling fear or hatred, or love, or contentment, or whatever else, then you will appear according to that feeling, and your color will be the same. 

Last night, from the end of the Divine Puja and for another couple of hours, I put some serious thought into merging with a Layak, and visited the folks who decided to hate me without actually getting to know me yesterday, and today they know my dark side very well! Today I am "evil incarnate" for them, but at just about any other time then they may likely see me as just me minus clothes and maybe in ashes (Wow, a Naked Shaman, imagine that!), as a fun and happy iridescent dragon, or as a gray mist swirling around some buildings somewhere. It all depends upon what I am thinking about, and the same is true for each of you. Want to be beautiful in the spirit world? Think beautiful thoughts, and you will appear in that way. Think dark and ugly thoughts, and that is how you will appear. Feel angry, fearful, depressed, silly, flirtatious, or anything else, and that is how you will be seen in the spirit world. 

If you have the desire to attract lots of lovers then see  and feel yourself as being the hottest and sexiest person alive in the spirit world, and do what you can to be so here and now as well. That is one way in which the frumpiest nerds in the world still often go home with some of the most smoking hot women and young guys on the planet while the supposedly most beautiful and handsome people physically are standing around wondering if they have body odor, bad breath, and/or food stuck in their teeth. When you look great in the spirit world then many others, even those that have no conscious awareness of "knowing", will still look at you, and just "know" that you are the hottest one there. And, the same is true for anything else that you desire to do. Are you looking for a new job? No problem! Look and feel like the most competent person in the spirit world for that position, and your potential employers will feel it too, and if you look the part as best you can physically as well then it will just be that much more obvious to them.

Want to see a specific person in the spirit world? That is easy. Choose to be where they are, and you will see them. See something that looks differently than you expected? Well, you are seeing them as either what they are choosing to wear there, or what their emotions are making them look like. But, it is still them that you are seeing. Having a conversation with them there will help you with this.

NOTE: there are many people who think they cannot get out of their bodies to journey, but who do so all of the time. They have simply decided that it must manifest in a certain way, but it is not. Those people should play with this as well. They just might be surprised.

Work with this a bit, and then let me know if you have any questions.

Howdy Apprentices and friends,

A few years back there was a lady who was ill, had good reason to believe she had been cursed (She was right.), and she was destitute as well. She needed help in a bad way, the Goddess said to give it, and I did. We sent the curse back to those who put it upon her, she got well, and her business took off like the proverbial "scalded cat." She sent a donation, and I never heard from or of her again until today. This morning she wanted to know what I thought of the political activity going on with the Socialist Democrats in New York City this past weekend. They are calling for open borders, the end of all nations, free medical insurance and education for everyone, a guaranteed job and wage for everyone, and they want to fund it all by nationalizing all private property and every private business as well. (Dream on!) 

To make a long story short, I told her in detail why I think those people are crazy, and I have now deleted well over a hundred emails from her and her friends who have been spending a chunk of the day telling me all about why I am a racist, a bigot, a Nazi, a misogynist, a baby killer, and a whole bunch of other foul things simply for being part white, male, and for daring to disagree with them. Interesting...I am part Scottish, Irish, English, German, Jewish and Cherokee, and being Cherokee, am therefore also part Chinese and Black. I am a "Rainbow Nazi!" Are we having fun yet?

John Lennon wrote a song a while back called "Imagine". Not only is it a beautiful song, but like the hopes and dreams of the "Democratic" Socialists (who are not really very democratic), it just isn't very practical at this time. I listen to it from time to time, and put out some energy toward it being possible someday even though I have no doubt that it will not be in in this lifetime nor in a few more to come. Here is a link for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6hAifvok1E. Until everyone on earth has the same ideals and values, and all societies, sects and beliefs are in agreement then it simply cannot happen. Take the USA as an example here. 

We are the most hated nation on earth at this time, and whether it is deserved or not is not the issue. What is the issue is that if these people get what they desire then many of the people who come here unimpeded will gladly kill and enslave them in "thanks" for their misplaced kindness. Can we get past this situation? Someday. Will it be anytime soon? Not likely. Now the "thought police" have judged me guilty of a "crime" for thinking differently than they do. Cool! Guilty as charged, and proud of it! I am Aghori! Thinking for myself is a part of what I do.

Each of you look at your own countries, consider the various factions within them, and see if you have a hope for peace, tranquility and total agreement among all of your citizens, much less others coming to your nation who want what you have whether you want to give it to them or not. What will it take for Lennon's song to become a reality there? When you know that then you will have some idea as to why Cherokee Elders work for what will happen in the world seven generations from now. Can we ever achieve a utopian dream? Can we do it in seven generations, or is each set of seven generations just another baby step on the way for a species that has war as it's only constant since we were first birthed by the Naga and the Apes? Only time will tell, but right now the world is a very interesting place for us to be able to learn a lot of great and wondrous lessons as we continue our quest for the ever elusive goal of total enlightenment.

Well, I am as interested in what may happen in the future as anyone else since I will be coming back again, and again, and again ad nauseum, but today I am more concerned about what we all do now, and it serves no one if we follow the mob mentality. So, dare to think for yourselves, and don't give in to what others think you should say or believe. The Goddess does not desire robots. Instead, she desires that we learn and grow, and that we become the "hollow bone", like a kangling trumpet, for her power and energy to flow through to all of Creation. There will not be peace on earth until every entity in our part of creation finds peace within themselves first, but we can certainly do that for ourselves, and then if other people who desire it, but don't know how to get it, see it in us they may well ask how to get it for themselves. If they do then we can share what has worked for us, and they can begin to explore what also works for them. 

Then someday, maybe thousands of years from now, enough people will find their personal peace so that world peace may become a reality. But, until then, I am not concerned with any of that. I am just doing what the Goddess puts in front of me to do, and I suggest that you do the same. We will not always agree about what that is to do, but we can at least cooperate on the things that we agree with, and as long as we maintain our personal autonomy then we as Aghori will succeed in doing our part, and those who are not Aghori will do their part as well so that the world will at least become a better place to live. Like those folks who have never met me, but have judged me for not being like them, we can be different, but we can still work for the common good, and we can choose to be kind about it when we are allowed to be. But, when we are not allowed then all we can do is what humans do best, until both sides are willing to get over it and try again.

Have a fun week, dare to be different, and don't let the idiots in the world get you down. And remember: We are One with all of Creation, and that includes all of the people whom we disagree with, or who disagree with us. We are all in this together.

Howdy Apprentices and friends,

The idea of racial superiority has been around for thousands of years, but as the saying goes in the USA, it's also "as American as apple pie." The following article will explain it to you:

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/04/race-genetics-science-africa/?utm_source=NatGeocom&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=wildscience_20180319_2PM&utm_campaign=Content&utm_rd=24704586935 

The US Government continued Morton's experiments with the skulls of Native Americans that were killed in battle until they figured out that most Native Americans had bigger craniums that most white people. Then the measurements mysteriously stopped, and the results were locked away in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. We Cherokee were as bad as they were since we refer to ourselves as the Tsalagiyi which means that we are the "Real People" as compared to everyone else, and we have called ourselves that since the tribe first began just about 3,500 years ago. Over the years, that arrogance got us in lots of trouble since we tended to underestimate a lot folks. Obviously, we were not as bright as we thought we were...Well, except possibly for me...

So, read this article, and take it to heart. No one is better than anyone else simply because of their race, and no one is smarter than anyone else unless they choose to be according to the lessons they are here to learn in this lifetime. Some people here are "prejudiced as hell and dumber that dirt" on purpose so that they can help the rest of us learn our lessons so the next time you encounter those excessively exasperating people in the world then at least try to be grateful for them. I try. Sometimes I fail, but I do try. Then again, sometimes I have been told that I can be quite trying. I trust that you are all feeling grateful right now.

One other fun note from the folks at National Geographic. They have a little activity called the Genomic Project through which they have proven that just five thousand years ago everyone on the planet was directly related. Take those findings along with the article above, and one can only assume that we are not all related now simply because we have chosen to believe that we are not. But, belief rarely has anything to do with the truth. It is subjective at best. Have fun with that.

Problems arise when people lose sight of the original intentions of the writers, and begin to believe that they are the literal historical truth and the “only word of god”. Whether it is the Bhaghavad Gita, the Tanakh, the Qur’an, the Christian Bible, The Good Witch's Bible, or any other spiritual text none of them are the literal and only word of any great spiritual being. If that offends you then do yourself a favor, and continue reading. I suspect that you will find something very interesting here before we get done.

In my Rabbinical training, one of my favorite books was “Sefer ha Zohar” (the Book of Enlightenment), and we shall quote a bit from that, and then there is a great little workbook called “The Invisible Chariot: An Introduction to Kabbalah and Jewish Spirituality” by Deborah Kerdeman and Lawrence Kushner. I encourage you to get a copy, and to study it well as it will help you greatly with this process. You see, even though it is teaching people to study Kabbalah, it's principles can be applied to any ancient spiritual text just as well. And, after that we will cover a bit about what is known as “ICE Theology”. So, prepare to have a bit of fun!

On page 28 of “The Invisible Chariot”, and after a lengthy preparation for it, Kushner wrote, “We are now ready to explore the final level of Torah. It is called “sod”. Sod means “secret”. It is the level of ultimate meaning, total interconnectedness. Here, the interpreter reads between all of the lines, and uncovers meaning in the spaces between all of the words. He or she understands not only how every passage of Torah relates to every other passage, but also how each word and letter of Torah applies to all aspects of life. Naturally, such insight requires tremendous familiarity with the entire Tanakh and extremely clear vision.”

In other words, it is not what is obvious that counts, but the things that are hidden within the deeper meanings of even the smallest parts, and even in the spaces where there appears to be nothing at all. Attorneys often argue about the spirit of the law as compared to the letter of the law. As of the 1 of January, 2017 there is now a law on the books that effectively makes child prostitution legal there even though any adult caught being a prostitute will still be charged with a crime and possibly go to prison for it. The problem here is not so much as that the State Legislature intended to make it legal to sell the sexual favors of children as the great likelihood that it is a very poorly worded law, and the spirit, or intentions of the writers, was something much different than the appearances. The interpretation of spiritual texts is much this way as we look for a meta-physical understanding of the words beyond the physical understanding of what they say.

Consider these words of Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai from the Zohar: “Woe to the man who says that Torah represents mere stories and simple words! If so then we could compose a Torah (Book of Laws) right now with simple words that would be better than all of them (that came before)! To the present matters of the world? Even rulers of the world possess more sublime words! If this be so then let us follow them, and make a Torah out of them! Ah, but all of the words of Torah are subtle words and hidden secrets!”

And...”Woe to the wicked man who says that Torah is a mere story! They look at it's raiment and no further. Happy are the righteous who look at the Torah correctly. A wine must sit in a jar, and so Torah must sit in this raiment. Do not look at the raiment, but under it! All of those words, and all of those stories are but raiments.”

Just as we Aghori know that clothing interferes with our energy, and that our nudity represents the freedom the Goddess has given us, so to are the words and decorations of sacred texts merely a poor covering for the true energy and deep and secret meanings of all that lies beneath them. Some of our surrogates for attunements are good examples of this as they are even more beautiful without their clothes (raiment) on than they are when wearing them. Obviously, that does not include me, but they are the good example here, and not I.

And, we all have hidden secrets within us from past lives, but we cannot find them by looking at the exterior of our bodies, but must delve deep within our spirits and our minds to find those hidden gems of wisdom.

The same is true of the ancient sacred texts. We must consider their deeper and more profound meanings to be able to receive the hidden truths and great powers within them. We need to look under their garment of words and letters to find the naked (raw) power that is there for us to harness and use. And, that brings us to the lessons found in ICE Theology!

ICE is an acronym for Isagogic, Categorical and Exegetical. Isagogics is the study of the history, archeology and culture of a given people at the time of the writing of the ancient texts as this will help us to rightly understand what is being said. All too often, people in modern times will read an ancient text, or its translation, and interpret what they read in accordance to what their own culture says about it. This was the great mistake of the British when they first encountered statues of Mahakali in India and other countries in that part of the world. While her iconography actually means one thing, they interpreted it according to medieval Christianity and the other superstitions from their part of the world.

There are often concepts that are not clear in place in an ancient text, but there is a fairly simple way to interpret the basic meanings that allow you to look for the deeper understandings, and that comes from the categorical approach. We do this by looking at what the words or concepts mean all through the text, and not just in one place, sutra, kural or section. In doing so we wind up with a very rich and diverse understanding of the words and concepts that we study, and we also look at the root understandings of the letters themselves.

The exegetical approach to our study comes about by taking every facet of our study, and putting it together, and then looking for the metaphorical understanding about life that this brings to us. When we have that then we are able to spend time talking with Mahakali and the spirits about it, and then meditating deeply upon those parts that have been revealed so that we can learn to see the deepest, most hidden and powerful secrets within it. It is in the Silence of the Void of Kali that we find the hidden treasures, but it is these other processes that sets it up for us to be able to do so successfully.

So, here is a simple explanation of the process of spiritual exploration within the ancient texts. Follow this basic guide as to how it is done, and you will soon find other methods that will work for you as well that are based upon your own spiritual strengths and insights. The rewards of such an activity are profound! Here is a case in point: Whenever someone who is ill with a catastrophic disease reads through the Zohar for the first time then there is a point in the reading where the energy of the words heals them completely! My favorite version of “The Zohar” is the five volume set that is translated by Harry Sperling and Maurice Simon, and that is published by the Soncino Press in London, England and New York, New York USA.

Be Healed!
