Milarepa is a typical case of “penitent syndrome”, a ‘demon’ who causes such a distortion in the mind, in the perception and judgment of our negative acts that we will not find a punishment or sentence strong enough to allow ourselves to be purified, absolved or forgiven. Penitent challenge and spiritual heroism are in correlation with this type of karma.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, here are some few thoughts and heart advices, manifesting from themselves, by themselves, passing through the Tsuka Sangha.
May they be at least a bit useful and they will have accomplished their purpose.
The authentic Alchemical Tradition teaches us to dissipate our sulfur, our agitation, without sending it back to others. This is a training in itself.
Talking about training now, we have to apply more seriously and to deeply try to understand the famous statement “I am Ryoshi, we are all Ryoshi”.
Because yes, the genius and very deep and subtle motto of Ryoshi has to be understood and applied. In itself it could resume the Tsuka Sangha’s Path and method.
Most of us have formed a very positive image of Ryoshi. This is perfect because then we can use it to grow our mind.
Imagine if instead it was “I am Jesus”. or “I am Buddha”. If we think or say ‘well, no I am not, I can’t say that, etc, etc’, then fine we are not. But if we say “I am Jesus”. “I am Buddha” we can easily realize how much closer we are from their state then one second ago.
This is even the main mechanism of the very secret physico-psychic Vajrayana practices called “Sadhana of the Deity” : the practice of Transformation where you will gradually train to form the most complete and stable mental image of an archetype of Perfection and first visualize it in front of you, then above your head, then yourself in this body as having the same shape and appearance as the archetype. Its external shape… and also its spiritual qualities. that you will soon embody.
It can be called the very subtle and very sacred Science of Avatars.
This is indeed a subtle method to finally allow yourself to embody in this very existence the highest possible qualities and to get free from negative actions and energy.
Even if this seems carefully hidden to them nowadays in our present time, where the greed of some few has created many human beings into unrooted poor golems, christians are meant to practice ‘the imitation of Christ’. And muslims are encouraged to be, act, and live at the imitation of Mahomet. For the very benefit of All:.
And this is the same view for the teachings of the Immortal Tao, if you understand well. As ever, if you know, you know.
Do you realize ? How the “I am Ryoshi, we are all Ryoshi” is a teaching and a method in itself ?
This is the perfect time to start to be and act as if we were really Ryoshi, humble decentralized Master and Dragon Guardian and Protector of the many., as if he was in the chat room with us all the time, sitting in a chair right next to us, shoulder to shoulder, let the good image we have of him inspire and guide us.
This is the time for great heroes, yes, the rise of the Dejitaru Tsuka is a sign, let’s make it happen, as it is said that the mere fact of hearing the sound Kalachakra is the sign of a positive karma coming to fruition right now.
However, as the Master is only the external manifestation of our inner potential, let’s not make Ryoshi a kind of a god or an object of worship though, as this is not his goal and it could even be harmful for him on his own Path.
Keep in mind that ultimately, once the Sadhana Session is over, we “dissolve” the Deity image, remembering that this too remains a mental construct and that this idea of perfection is not is completed only in the perfect immediacy of the instantaneous present, free from all mental effort, building, veiling, completely, totally sharped in unity with the totality of the experience of the Presence, not even “my presence”, just the Presence, when maybe even just for a glimpse, between 2 thoughts, there is no more me and experience, but just a perfect symbiosis with the Unity.
Or God’s Presence and his Creation in a theistic framework.
As it is said sometimes, at that very moment, even the idea “This is it” is already the sign that this is not it anymore, but the mental that starts again judging and analyzing in a dualistic way 🙂
Be blessed, all of you, for what has already been accomplished together and for the Journey yet to come.
