Reducing on Esoterics.

A quote.

'Until recently most available spiritual books were unclear mix of anything exotic and New Age.

Only experienced teachers and their well trained groups could cut through such confusion effectively, protecting mental health, and saving precious time.

But these warnings to solitary practitioners are not the only possible cautions.

Once well embarked on an established road to enlightenment, there still lurk two misleading exits on the highway to enlightenment that are not easily recognized if one does not share growth with a group.

The first is a non-discriminating approach to the soft sciences, a seductive but dangerous exit.

Of course, after becoming Buddhist it makes sense to continue to use of skills like healing powers and a knowledge of astrology, at least as long as they are interresting and can be directed into a Buddhist context without confusing one's meditation or view.

But if in the process one forgets the ultimate goal, enlightenment for the benefit of all, a most precious opportunity is wasted and may not be found again for lifetimes.

The second slippery exit is the targeted attachment to warmly welcomed experiences.

Holding onto them or hoping for them to return can seriously block a person's development and, above all, scare bright people away.

Because all experiences are unfathomable and unsteady, the wish to repeat them always ultimately leads to discouragement.

Trying to carry along the milestones of the past and living in what once was not only mentally develops arms like a gorilla, but the habit blocks progress.'

-- Quoted from 'The Way Things Are' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.


Reduction.

Part of my way is esoterics, but recently it became too heavy burden, like a metal ball chained to legs that hinders progress.

When i tried to practice digital arts, mind states hindered me in that, trying to discourage - with insights explaining that it takes too much of time, which could be spent on esoterics.

Earlier i had to reduce on Martial Arts because of Esoterics, as well - even that Martial Arts are advised for those who practice Magick.

i prefer art & beauty more than power, so when esoterics hinders my progress in art - i have to resign.

i am reducing on esoterics, and on lessons from teachers of Buddhist Esoterics - like of Mira Boboli.

Esoteric Lessons put me into troubles - not only financial, and Art is far more important for me.

i won't let 'Art of Magick & Light' change into 'Way of Magick & Light'.

Speech Practice, including Artful Expression is the important part of Buddhism, which works on Mind, Speech and Body Levels.

Speech & Art are the Holy Practice, afterall - not only because Lessons are better transmitted with developed Art & Speech.

Reducing Needs, Reducing Tastes for Sensual Pleasures.

About.

Recently i've listened a Buddhist Lecture by Bhikkhu Samahita on Vegetarianism & 32 Marks of a Great Man.

Conclusions & wishes came after that lecture:


i wish to reduce - but not completely - my sexual activity.

i still wish for Enlightened & Artful Love with a Buddhist woman, and i know which.

i certainly do not wish to engage into any sexual activity with other women or men than her.

i wish to give her love, sex & kids if she wishes for that, i wish to enjoy it all but without excessive craving.

i wish to be aware, conscious of related pleasures & joys without seeding appetite for these in excess.


i wish to eat in a way that Buddha does, being aware, conscious of taste without seeding appetite for appetite in excess.

i wish to be thin, to have no fat on belly, to be handsome, gentle, nice, compassionate, loving & attractive for a Buddhist woman i Love & others.


i wish to offer sensual pleasures to HH Buddha Karmapa 17th Trinley Thaye Dorje, as in the Mandala Offering Practice.

i wish to reduce craving for sensual pleasures, to make negative feelings disappear, to not seed needs for joys in excess, as well.


May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,

May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,

May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,

May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.

Reducing Needs, Reducing Expectations.

Introduction.

i am inspired by the noble & beautiful people who despite being wealthy have little of needs & expectations.

i think Lama Ole Nydahl is one of them.

i think a Buddhist woman i Love deserves someone as that.

i wish to be worthy of her then to meet her as soon as is possible after that.

i can suffer even the Kalpa in Hells if that's neccessary to experience Enlightened & Magickal Love with her, preferably in our Sangha.


Wishes.

i wish to reduce my needs, to keep reducing, including eating less & spending less money - but paying all bills as soon as they arrive, as soon as i can, nevertheless.

i think eating less also protects animals & living plants, it's gentle & noble, as well.

i wish to reduce my expectations as well, to keep reducing, but at lower priority, as well.

i wish to be handsome, gentle, attractive, sexy & thin as well, not only for her.

i wish to be a gentle protection for her as well, including financial security in a gentle way as well.

i could use support in that, i could use wishes, mantras & meditations that lead to that as well.

i wish to repay karmic debts by protecting our inner values & lives, by increasing dharmic & esoteric power of people who support me that way, as soon as i can, as well - in a way that won't cost us too much of money. i can risk or sacrifice my life for those who are worthy of that privilege, i am not afraid of death - but a Buddhist woman i Love & HH Buddha Karmapa 17th Trinley Thaye Dorje should have final say if/when i should risk my life.
