Mystikeren

Hvem er jeg? Hva er jeg? Hvor kommer jeg fra, og hvor skal jeg? Hva er meninga med livet? Dette er de store eksistensielle spørsmålene som har fått historiens filosofer helt tilbake fra Plato og opp til våre dagers filosofer, fysikere, biologer og livsveivandrere å undres. Det er skrevet ned dialoger og monologer, korte og lange avhandlinger. Det er skrevet mye men kan noe beskrive det bedre enn metaforer? Og hva er egentlig metaforer? De er blitt for meg viktige personlige spørsmål som har utfordret meg på mange plan i forhold til mine tidligere trosystem. Etter hvert som jeg har søkt etter svar har jeg blitt mer og mer undrende over hvordan de forskjellige religionene vi kjenner i dag har skjult svarene i metaforer og symboler som den gang var ment kun for innviede disipler og presteskap. I dag har vi også forskjellige ordener som Rosenkors ordenen og frimuer ordenen. Vi har Sufiene, monkeordener og mange mange mystikere som sammen med yogier har spredd sine forståelser til søkende tilhørere, som igjen har gitt oss nøkkelen til oldtidens bibliotek. Det Aleksandriske bibliotek er blitt erstattet av world wide web. Lånekortet er blitt erstattet med nettverkskort. Så hvem er disse mystikerne og hva er essensen av det de har formidlet videre? Sri Ramana Maharshi gir oss noen nøkler gjennom blant annet boken; "Who am i?". Vi finner også en liknende tilnærming gjennom Sri Nisargardatta Maharaj`s mange åpne samtaler som har blitt til oversatte bøker, hvorav den mest populære og anbefalte boken av de alle er; "I am that". Sufiene og østens mystikere og poeter som Rumi, Hafiz og flere til gir oss også glimt av den dypere essensen av hva vi er. Rumi kaller på oss også gjennom sitt dikt: Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving — it doesn't matter, Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times, Come, come again, come Uansett bakgrunn kaller altså mystikeren på oss. Om vi har brutt løfter våre løfter hundrevis av ganger inviteres vi igjen tilbake til å gjennopta kontakten med mystikeren i oss selv. Vi inviteres til å legge bak oss tanker om skyld og dårlig samvittighet. Vi inviteres til å tilgi det som har vært, og bevege oss fremover, oppover. Rumi sier videre: "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there." Vi har kommet inn i en verden hvor vi blir oppfordret av mystikeren til å ta på oss andre briller. Når vi mediterer over Rumis strålende innblikk gjennom "det tredje øyets" briller vil vi kanskje få erkjenne glimt av mystikeren i oss. Men aller først må vi legge fra oss de brillene vi har fra før. Rumi fortsetter: "God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly, not one." Når problemene føles som en mørk, uoverkommelig høy vegg hvor vi benytter uttrykk som; "Jeg har møtt veggen", eller "havnet i kjeller`n", oppfordres vi til å se forbi begrensningene....å se mulighetene i et fugle/meta perspektiv. Vi blir invitert til å ta se at hver eneste følelse og tanke har en motsats. En mot pol. Her er en kjent indiansk parable som forklarer det på en fin måte. The Tale of the Two Wolves Native American Analogy "One evening a Cherokee elder sat with his grandson at the fire to tell him about the battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two ' wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. This wolf speaks with anger, envy, jealousy, hatred, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is Good. This wolf speaks with joy, peace, love, hope serenity, humility, kindness and caring, empathy, respect for self and others, generosity, truth and faith. The grandson listened to his grandfather's word and then asked, "Which wolf wins?" The wise Cherokee looked into his grandson's eyes and replied, "The one you feed." Rumi hjelper oss å se forbi begrensningene vi ofte tillegger det menneskelige aspektet og fører oss videre forbi dødsfrykten og inn i tunnelen hvor lyset av Rumis ord skinner i den andre enden som en magnetisk kraft. Mystikerern i oss kaller. Kan du kjenne det?? "I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as plant and rose to animal, I died as animal and I was Man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar With angels blest; but even from angelhood I must pass on: all except God doth perish. When I have sacrificed my angel-soul, I shall become what no mind e'er conceived. Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence Proclaims in organ tones, To Him we shall return. Ken Wilber inviterer oss på en "hvem er jeg?" meditation som kan hjelpe oss til å få dette glimtet av mystikeren i oss :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BA8tDzK_kPI#!

Uidentifisert/identifisert

http://www.rt.com/news/russian-navy-ufo-records-say-aliens-love-oceans/ The Russian navy has declassified its records of encounters with unidentified objects technologically surpassing anything humanity ever built, reports Svobodnaya Pressa news website. The records dating back to soviet times were compiled by a special navy group collecting reports of unexplained incidents delivered by submarines and military ships. The group was headed by deputy Navy commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov, and the documents reveal numerous cases of possible UFO encounters, the website says. Vladimir Azhazha, former navy officer and a famous Russian UFO researcher, says the materials are of great value. “Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said. On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away. Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs. Vladimir Kremlev for RT. Click to enlarge “On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” Beketov said. Navy intelligence veteran, Captain 1st rank Igor Barklay comments: “Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.” Another place where people often report UFO encounters is Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water. In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal spotted a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the seven men died, while four others were severely injured. “I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Vladimir Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So it’s very important to analyze what they encounter there.” Meanwhile Russian Navy officials have denied the collection of UFO-related encounters exists. A source in the Navy’s service staff said the story may have its roots in the reports of vessel commanders, which describe locating objects of unclear but Earthly origin. “An illusion of a UFO encounter can result from large fish shoals, floating garbage or natural phenomena,” ITAR-TASS news agency cites the source.

Amazing Mystery! Underwater UFO shaped object in the Baltic Sea. Divers exploring a 'UFO-shaped' object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea have claimed that their electrical equipments stop working when they approach within 200m. Professional diver Stefan Hogerborn, who is part of the Ocean X team which is exploring the anomaly, said some of the team's cameras and the team's satellite phone would refuse to work when directly above the object, and would only work once they had sailed away. "Anything electric out there - and the satellite phone as well - stopped working when we were above the object," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying. "And then we got away about 200 meters and it turned on again, and when we got back over the object it didn't work," he said. The other divers also admitted experiencing unimaginable things. "We have experienced things that I really couldn't imagine and I have been the team's biggest skeptic regarding these different kind of theories," diver Peter Lindberg said. "I was kind of prepared just to find a stone or cliff or outcrop or pile of mud but it was nothing like that, so for me it has been a missing experience I must say," he said. "I am one hundred percent convinced and confident that we have found something that is very, very, very unique," member Dennis Asberg said. "Then if it is a meteorite or an asteroid, or a volcano, or a base from, say, a U-boat from the Cold War which has manufactured and placed there - or if it is a UFO... "Well honestly it has to be something," he said. The Ocean X team did get some pictures, such as these soot-covered rocks that encircled an egg-shaped hole which went into the object at its centre, and have no idea what any of it means. The sonar picture of the unidentified object resembles the famed 'Star Wars' ship the Millennium Falcon. The object was first found in May last year, but because of a lack of funding and bad timing, they were not able to pull a team together to see for themselves - just the strange, metallic outline, and a similar disk-shaped object about 200 metres away. During their visit, the team saw a 985-foot trail that they described "as a runway or a downhill path that is flattened at the seabed with the object at the end of it". http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2164912/UFO-the-Baltic-Sea-cuts-electrical-equipment-divers-200m.html

Med (i) Sinn

Mindfulness meditasjon kommer opprinnelig fra østen, og henholdsvis fra Zen Buddhsismen. Det er først i det siste den har blitt mer akseptert i vesten og det er takket være pioneere som Jon Kabath Zinn at det nå gjennom hans lange forskning kan bevises hvor gunstig den er av helsemessige årsaker.

Her er en fin dokumentar som ble vist på Nrk 1 : Schrødingers katt
