Enlightenment: Touching Our Real Nature Of Primordial Consciousness

by Asoka Selvarajah on July 20, 2011

I have long been skeptical of metaphysical teachers of the "You're
already enlightened, you just don't know it" school of thinking. This
kind of concept smacks too much of the "fast, easy, no work" mentality
preyed upon by so many marketing schemes, particularly for weight loss
and make money bizops. Indeed, there now seem to be an abundance of the
"quick and easy" weekend spiritual seminars promoting "Instant
Enlightenment" and the like. Hence, the skepticism is justified in the
sense that empty words and promises are easy to generate, but
substantiating them is another matter altogether.

Nevertheless, the idea that Enlightenment/Realization is not something
to work towards, but instead is a part of our ultimate nature is a
completely valid one. The problem is that in our dualistic mode of
habitual thinking, that which is our Real Nature is forever invisible
to our direct senses. It is like the sun obscured by thick clouds;
ever-present but unseen.

Traditional approaches to achieving Enlightenment are gradual. They
invariably involve renunciation, moral and ethical improvement of the
individual, and the promise of eventual Liberation from the sufferings
of our conventional Samsaric existence at some distant rebirth in the
future. This is, for the most part, the conventional approach.
Moreover, it is appropriate for the majority of people, since most
people's capacity for spiritual realization is relatively limited.

However, there exists an accelerated path to achieve Enlightenment
rapidly, even within a single lifetime. If you think about it, this has
to be the case since according to written accounts, many of the
Buddha's own disciples did precisely that. Yet, the accounts do not
detail how this was achieved.

There are a number of things to be said about this matter...
The Tenth Dalai Lama, Tsultrim Gyatso

Image via Wikipedia

Firstly, there is a lineage involved; meaning that you won't find this
in a weekend "Enlightenment Intensive" seminar by some
Johnny-come-lately TV-friendly marketing savvy so-called spiritual
guru. This sort of authentic path is available by direct energetic
transmission from one spiritual master to the next within an
established spiritual tradition that may be hundreds or even thousands
of years old. You are tapping into the power of a long-established line
of spiritual masters to enable you to awaken in this rapid manner.

For example, in Tibetan Buddhism, the system is called Dzogchen;
considered to be one of the most advanced teachings within this
tradition. It has been something of a guarded secret but is being more
openly taught these days; most notably in the West by Dzogchen Master
Chogyal Namkhai Norbu.

Secondly, although the emphasis of the teaching is to achieve direct
introduction to your Real Nature, and the processes taught are
relatively simple, nobody should be under the illusion that they just
need to do these simple practices a few times, and Realization is
achieved once and for all. This is more like an awakening process that
grows over time, as you progressively involve yourself in the practice
and shed off your massive karmic burdens, obstacles and obscurations.
Yes, you get immediate access to the Enlightened Nature during your
meditative practice, but this may initially be momentary before you
revert back to conventional dualistic vision. Hence, the focus of the
practice is to persist until what is momentary and fleeting initially
becomes permanent and lasting eventually.

Nevertheless, you need to beware of this "instant Enlightenment" stuff
as taught by too many Western practitioners, who have sprung up
overnight through the power of skilled marketing, and who possess no
lineage whatsoever. Be cautious about anyone who claims to be already
Enlightened or uses phrases that imply this (e.g. I can think of at
least one famous Personal Growth teacher who says things like "Since I
became Enlightened..." Please note that NO highly advanced Tibetan
Buddhist practitioner, not even the Dalai Lama himself, would remotely
have the audacity to say such a thing!).

In conclusion, our perfected nature needs no improving or gradual
process of attainment. It is there from the very beginning, 100%
perfected. However, like clouds covering the sun, our karmic obstacles
and impediments prevent us from experiencing our perfected reality, and
so we live in the illusion of Samsaric conventional reality. There
exist processes for realizing our Real Nature, even for just a moment,
as well as methods for regularly clearing our karmic blockages.
However, these are not so readily available. As they say, when the
pupil is ready, the teacher will appear.

If you have the capacity and interest to pursue such approaches, then
you may wish to seek them out. If not, then the gradual and progressive
methods are the best for you to stay with. Each according to his/her
spiritual capacity.

How To Draw Like Michelangelo?...

by Asoka Selvarajah on June 20, 2011

Ok, so perhaps the You vs. Michelangelo drawing competition won't
happen just today!

But the fact is, even Michelangelo had to start somewhere. And so do
you and I.

So if you've longed to be an accomplished artist, to make people's jaws
drop at your dazzling talent... but you can't draw better than a 5-year
old, this could be the answer:

==> aksworld/PencilArtGenius <==

The fact is, a LOT of people who are interested in spiritually and
personal empowerment also have strong creative urges within them.
Frustrated urges.

Yes, thanks to society and upbringing, too many of us have our
fledgling artistic talents quashed. We give in to the "practical" and
we let our inner artist die.
Drawing for The Libyan Sybil, New York City, M...-

Image via Wikipedia

And after a while, we end up saying, "Well, I just can't draw. I can't
paint. I was never good at Art. And I never will be."

Does that sound like you at times?...

Well, I'm here to tell you... it's NOT true!

This new course I discovered was actually created by a person who used
to think just like that. And was in exactly the same place
you may be in right now regarding artistic ability.

Yet, Christopher Sia learned how to become a highly accomplished artist
from scratch. He wasn't born that way. In fact, it took him a heck of a
lot of hard grind, and dead ends to finally master the secrets to
Master-level Drawing.

And now he's revealing how anyone, yes even YOU, can do exactly the
same thing.

==> aksworld/PencilArtGenius <==

Actually, I bought this course myself. So I've had a chance to check

it out fully from the inside. The material is very solid and great
value. Anyone who seriously applies him/herself has a realistic chance
of succeeding. OK, the challenge with Michelangelo might have to wait a
while week! But, in the meantime, you finally discover how to fulfill
one of your long-cherished secret dreams. And what could be better than
that?

Best Wishes,

Asoka

P.S. Another big benefit of learning to draw is that you learn to look
at the world in a different way. You see, artists are experts at really
LOOKING and SEEING what is actually there. The untrained eye looks, but
does not really see accurately. It plays all kinds of tricks on us. In
other words, if you are interested in your own personal growth, then
simply learning to draw well is an excellent exercise to help you
achieve that wider goal...

As your brain develops in this area, it also grows in every other area
too! That's just one extra "hidden" benefit of learning to
draw, quite apart from the satisfaction it will give you, and the
amazed admiration you'll get from your friends and family.

The 7 Chakra System

March 10, 2011

There are seven major chakras in the body, according to Eastern
spiritual teachings. These are energy centers and are hence invisible
to the eye or to medical examination. However, each chakra is
associated with a different part of the physical body, from the base of
the torso to the top of the head.

The lowest chakra is called Muladhara and is found at the base of the
spine. Its color is red

Thought Power: Your Habitual Thoughts Manifest Your Future Reality

March 7, 2011

...if you knew, really knew, that every thought has a direct
consequence for you, how careful would you be about how you think? If
you could actually see the consequential path of every thought, leading
to its final manifestation for good or ill, don't you think it would
produce an immediate change to your behavior?

The whole problem is that we receive no such feedback. There is no
visible, immediate, direct correlation between our thoughts and what
manifests in your lives. That is why we falsely believe there is NO
relationship.

It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and

Power Of The Mind For Happiness

February 24, 2011

The secret to happiness lies with the power of the mind. We can
determine our mental weather forecast, and how our day, week, year and
entire life turns out by how we direct the power of mind. It is what we
think about that enables us to be on an upward spiral mentally and
emotionally or on the descent.

Disappointment As Life Tutor

February 23, 2011

Often, disappointment serves to show us that we are not on the right
road to begin with. We may be heartbroken at that moment, but time
eventually reveals a better path; a road we might never have trodden if
we had not been stopped so brutally in our path in the first place.
People are disappointed in love; perhaps they find another. They are
disappointed in career; maybe they find a better opportunity in another
firm, or even decide to start their own business.

Self Help: Coping With Setbacks In Your Progress

February 14, 2011

Self help improvement is like a process of travelling a spiral, not
going round in a circle (although it may feel like that at times). The
spiral widens out and we become more expansive and better over time,
although sometimes it may seem like we are back at exactly the same
point. You have to keep faith at times that you really are improving.
You may be back at the same place in some ways, but you are seeing it
differently, with a new and heightened awareness. Remember that.

Chinese New Year 2011

February 4, 2011

The other thing that is most useful about the Chinese New Year, for me
at any rate, is the Feng Shui aspects to it. I have been practicing
Feng Shui, the art of placing items in strategic places around the home
in order to maximize beneficial influences and minimize negative
forces, for a number of years now. Now, whether you are skeptical about
the efficacy of this practice or not, the fact is that it does focus
the mind and gives you rituals to perform that symbolically tunes your
mind towards what you want to achieve in your life. It turns your home
into a symbolic and sacred space. Esoterically, it reinforces that YOU
are the center of power in your life, and that you can conduct and use
the invisible spiritual energies around you to manifest in the physical
world, for good or for ill.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
