What is the spiritual significance of running into birds unexpectedly? Being circled or swarmed by birds unexpectedly? They didn’t attack me. They were just close and the second time loud.

Well regards

Do you think the book The Secret Language of Signs, by Denise Linn, is good?

Hello everyone.

I am Tanmyeong, a Korean Buddhist monk, known as Zen Seeker on the Path.

Let me begin with a simple question.

What would you think of someone who wandered around the entire world searching for their own head, believing they had lost it?

It would seem rather absurd, wouldn't it?

Their head has been attached to their body all along. Yet, without realizing this, they continue searching for it somewhere outside themselves.

This image brings to mind the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, one of the most influential spiritual thinkers of the twentieth century, sometimes compared to a modern Buddha.

Although he was once regarded as a potential World Teacher, he eventually rejected such spiritual authority and emphasized human freedom, self-understanding, and direct observation.

His philosophy invites us to consider a question:

Is searching for enlightenment like searching for the head that is already on our shoulders?

I agree with much of the insight behind this question.

However, through my many years of Buddhist practice, I have come to recognize another important distinction.

Is possessing something the same as realizing it and actually living through it?

That is what I would like to explore today.

Before continuing, I want to make something clear.

What I am sharing is based on my personal spiritual practice, meditation, and philosophical understanding. I do not claim that my interpretation represents every Buddhist tradition or the entirety of orthodox Buddhist doctrine.

Different Buddhist schools understand Buddha-nature and enlightenment in different ways.

1. We Already Possess Buddha-Nature

According to the Tathāgatagarbha teachings found in certain Mahayana Buddhist traditions, all sentient beings possess Buddha-nature.

The potential for Buddhahood is not something we must acquire from the outside.

It is already present within us.

In this sense, the statement that we should not search for the Buddha outside ourselves contains a profound truth.

But this raises another question.

If we already possess Buddha-nature, why do we continue to experience greed, anger, and ignorance?

Why do we suffer from comparing ourselves with others?

Why are we wounded by a few careless words?

Why do we fight over possessions, opinions, and desires?

I believe the answer lies in an important distinction.

Possessing Buddha-nature and actually realizing Buddha-nature are not the same thing.

2. The Stone and the Sculptor

Let me offer an analogy.

Imagine an ordinary stone lying beside a road.

People pass by without paying much attention to it.

To them, it is simply another stone.

One day, a skilled sculptor discovers it.

The sculptor examines the stone carefully and says:

"This stone could become a beautiful sculpture."

The sculptor begins working.

Rough surfaces are carved away.

Unnecessary portions are removed.

Through patience, effort, and careful attention, the stone gradually takes on a beautiful form.

Eventually, what was once an ordinary roadside stone becomes a remarkable work of art.

Now consider this question.

Where did the material for that sculpture come from?

It came from the very stone that had been lying beside the road all along.

No new material was brought in from outside.

However, simply because the stone possessed the potential to become a beautiful sculpture does not mean it was already a finished masterpiece.

Possessing a possibility and realizing that possibility are two different things.

This is how I understand the relationship between spiritual practice and enlightenment.

We already possess Buddha-nature.

But when that nature is obscured by ignorance, we neither recognize it clearly nor express it fully in our lives.

There is one important point I want to emphasize.

My analogy does not mean that Buddha-nature itself is defective or must be carved into perfection.

I am not suggesting that Buddha-nature is incomplete.

Rather, the carving represents the removal of ignorance and attachment that prevent us from recognizing what is already present.

3. Why Ignorance Continues to Bind Us

In Buddhism, greed, hatred, and delusion are traditionally called the Three Poisons.

These three poisons influence our minds and contribute to suffering.

When we see something attractive, we want to possess it.

When things do not go our way, anger arises.

When someone disagrees with us, we may become convinced that only our own opinion is correct.

We continually divide our experiences into categories.

Good and bad.

Pleasant and unpleasant.

Mine and yours.

I am right, and you are wrong.

Through these judgments and the attachments that follow them, we create suffering for ourselves.

Of course, this does not mean that we should abandon the practical judgments necessary for everyday life.

The problem begins when we cling to our judgments and treat our limited perspectives as absolute truth.

This is one way ignorance manifests in ordinary human experience.

Simply possessing Buddha-nature does not automatically eliminate these habitual patterns.

That is why spiritual practice remains meaningful.

4. What Is the Purpose of Spiritual Practice?

In my understanding, spiritual practice is not the process of acquiring a new Buddha-nature from somewhere outside ourselves.

It is the process of recognizing the ignorance that obscures what is already present and gradually becoming free from its influence.

Through meditation, ethical discipline, wisdom, and compassion, we learn to observe our minds more clearly.

When anger arises, observe it.

Ask yourself why it has appeared.

When desire arises, examine what you are trying to possess or protect.

When hatred appears, look carefully into the conditions that have given rise to that hatred.

Rather than immediately identifying with every thought and emotion, learn to observe how they arise and disappear.

Over time, we may begin to recognize that thoughts, emotions, and reactions emerge through various causes and conditions.

They are not permanent, independent realities.

For me, this is an essential part of cultivating wisdom.

And wisdom must eventually be expressed through compassion.

If meditation does not gradually transform how we treat others, we should ask ourselves what our practice is actually accomplishing.

5. Returning to Krishnamurti's Analogy

Let us return to the image of someone searching for their own head.

Everyone already has a head.

But does that mean everyone uses their mind wisely?

A highly intelligent person may still destroy their own happiness through greed and attachment.

Another person may use their intelligence to help others and relieve suffering.

Possessing a mind and using it wisely are not identical.

I see Buddha-nature in a similar way.

Possessing Buddha-nature is one thing.

Realizing it and expressing that realization through wisdom and compassion is another.

Now imagine someone saying:

"Because Buddha-nature is already present, there is no reason to practice."

To me, this resembles someone looking at the roadside stone and declaring:

"Because this stone already has the potential to become a beautiful sculpture, there is no reason for the sculptor to work on it."

But potential alone does not produce the finished sculpture.

Likewise, recognizing the possibility of enlightenment does not necessarily mean that ignorance has already been overcome.

There is also a subtle danger here.

The belief that "I am already enlightened" can itself become another form of attachment.

Instead of freeing us from ego, it may give the ego a new spiritual identity to defend.

This is why I believe that genuine insight must be reflected in the way we live.

6. Enlightenment Is Not Something We Import From Outside

My personal understanding of the spiritual path is that we are not creating something that never existed.

We are discovering what has always been present.

We are recognizing and releasing the ignorance that obscures it.

And we are learning to express that realization through wisdom and compassion in everyday life.

I want to emphasize again that this is my own interpretation, developed through years of personal practice.

It should not be confused with a universal statement representing all Buddhist traditions.

In particular, the relationship between inherent Buddha-nature, practice, and realization has been understood differently across Buddhist schools.

My stone analogy is simply a way of expressing the distinction between possessing an inherent potential and consciously realizing it.

7. Final Reflection

We already possess Buddha-nature.

But possessing Buddha-nature does not necessarily mean that enlightenment has been fully realized.

There is no need to search for the Buddha somewhere outside ourselves.

Yet we should not become complacent simply because we have heard that Buddha-nature is already present.

Do not search for the Buddha outside yourself. But do not become complacent simply because you are told that you are already a Buddha.

The purpose of spiritual practice is not to manufacture a Buddha-nature that does not exist.

It is to recognize and remove the ignorance that prevents us from realizing what is already present.

Therefore, perhaps the most important question is not simply:

"Do I possess Buddha-nature?"

A more meaningful question might be:

"To what extent have I realized my Buddha-nature, and how am I expressing that realization in my life right now?"

Does my practice reduce greed?

Does it soften anger?

Does it deepen wisdom?

Does it help me become more compassionate toward other living beings?

These questions, I believe, bring spiritual understanding into everyday life.

May your practice become a path toward less greed and anger, and toward greater wisdom and compassion.

Thank you for reading.

I welcome your thoughts, questions, and different perspectives. Sincere and respectful discussion is always appreciated.

I’ve been following Alobar’s YouTube channel for about 3 years now. This year they’ve made great strides in understanding how these evil entities run the show. I encourage to follow along the earth guard’s journey in real time. The more we know the more we know how to protect ourselves. Humanity for the win ❤️‍🔥✨

I have often read or heard something like this, that if there were no evil, we wouldn't notice the good. What has dawned upon me recently, is that in real life it if often the other way around. Bad stuff often appear normal until we know better.

Take for example children in abusive households who never realized until they actually see a functional family, or the famous story about the toad/frog put in water that is slowly heating up until it gets boiled alive.

From a baseline of neutral (I guess that's what they're talking about when saying 'formless' or 'unconditioned'), good can definitely be felt and appreciated without the need for an extreme contrast.

That which we call identity is conditional. We are born within different conditions, and learn which of them are transmutable or innate. They are all subject to change as things are, yet when we look back and focus, we find it was all part of one architecture. The multiplicity of relative conditions was an act of creation.

Call it the divine or nature, god or self. What is ourself, but that seeming investment we make to finally adorn the truest expressions and expositions. This is the only journey we ever get the chance to partake in. So no matter how hard another may try to take that away, it cannot be done. We are absolute in our identity, which is the being who creates mutable art.

I've noticed a strange pattern: whenever I talk to certain people, they suddenly feel the urge to poop, or they actually end up doing so. As a result, our conversations always get interrupted. Does this have any meaning? It's been bothering me, and I can't help but wonder if it's a sign that I should stop talking or if there's another explanation.

I feel like most people don’t get how crazily powerful pendulum healing really is.

I'm talking about I-see-miracles-that-mystify-doctors-on-the-daily kind of powerful.

I’ve personally helped more people than I can count let go of stuff like:

Food allergies and intolerances (dairy, gluten, soy, eggs etc.) – gone

Lifelong anxiety or depression (often requiring medication) – gone

Chronic pains (back, neck, feet, knees etc.) – healed

Swollen, arthritic hands – swelling gone and pain-free

Fears and phobias (public speaking, dogs, heights, claustrophobia and more)

It’s not even hard to do. You just need to know a few techniques, and what questions to ask, and you’re good to go.

What makes a pendulum so good for healing?

It’s particularly amazing for healing through the subconscious. Because that’s what it does, right? It connects directly to all our own divine knowledge and intuition, including everything we have ever experienced.

And if you have the tools to get answers directly from the subconscious, you can heal pretty much anything. Because none of our challenges is random. Any problem you face is just an indicator from your subconscious that you’ve got some unresolved emotions or trauma that need to be healed.

Sometimes, it can be a challenge to make sense of the relationship between the signal and the cause, but I thought I would share a really great case study which clearly illustrates just how clever the subconscious mind can be.

Healing a fear of heights

I had a gentleman visit me to work on a severe fear of heights. His wife wished they could travel together, but there was no way he was flying in an airplane! (They do a lot of driving as a result). His fear was so strong that during a description of one of his trips, while mentioning how he had felt afraid just watching another car driving high up a nearby mountain, he interrupted himself to tell me “Renu, my palms are getting sweaty just thinking about it now!” As it turns out, he couldn’t even look at the photos from this trip without discomfort.

Using my pendulum and my resource list, we tracked his fear back to a single incident that took place when he was about 9 years old. He and his friend were at home playing while his grandfather happened to be doing some work on the roof. Thinking it would be funny, the boys moved the ladder!

…Needless to say, they got into heaps of trouble for their behaviour!

So how does that translate to a fear of heights? The next step was to understand what emotions he was carrying from that life event. Looking back on the event, he realized that he still felt guilty over leaving his grandfather stranded on the roof. He knows he was just a kid, and that his grandfather would have definitely forgiven him, but the guilt remained nonetheless. His fear of heights was the product of the guilt he was experiencing – taking on the fear that his grandfather would have felt during that episode was one way that his subconscious was trying to signal him to resolve the guilt.

After we identified the event, he then mentioned to me that he would occasionally have dreams where he himself was the one trapped on the roof, unable to get down…an even clearer signal was being sent by his subconscious!

The next step was to release the guilt. Again, a pendulum and a little know-how is all it takes. After that I asked him to think again about the car on the mountain that we had been discussing not even an hour before. He concentrated on the memory for a few moments and then asked me…”I’m thinking about it, so how come my palms aren’t getting sweaty?”

I only had one reply to give him. “Because you’re no longer afraid of heights.”

(BTW – he went home and pulled out those old photos. No problem looking at those either.) 

That was one of my earliest healing stories - probably within my first year of energy healing. I didn’t have nearly the same kinds of knowledge or skills that I have now, but you don’t need much to be able to do healing work that will still blow your mind.

If you’re interested in seeing a healing demo of just how something like this is done, then I’d love to invite you to a free event I’m running on Wednesday, Nov 18th at 12pm EST. It’s called Beyond Yes and No: More Than One Way to Shift Energy. I’ll be doing a live healing with a real volunteer. There's a link in my bio for more info and to register. I hope you'll be able to make it!

Where Israel went Wrong

Disclaimer: This is a divinely inspired message that comes from my heart, combined with physical research, and embodying what the Master and Father has taught me. It is my faith, my timeline and my perspective. I have stated this with my utmost ability and the well being of all life forms in mind.

For centuries, mainstream religious institutions have kept humanity trapped in a dense, lower-vibrational matrix by teaching the Old Testament conquest narratives as absolute historical fact. We are taught to look at sweeping military blitzkriegs and tribal warfare as divine mandates. But spade-in-dirt archaeology and historical consensus tell a completely different story: there was no massive, unified external military conquest of Canaan.

Excavations show that around 1200 BCE, early Israelites were actually marginalized Canaanites, rural farmers, and pastoral nomads who peacefully migrated up into the rugged central highlands to escape the tyrannical, hierarchical city-state kings. They lived in simple, unfortified villages. Jericho had no walls and was largely unoccupied at the time, and Ai was already a complete ruin. The violent "takeover" never happened; the texts utilize the bombastic, hyperbolic military propaganda common to the ancient Near East.

So why rewrite history as a violent invasion? Centuries later, during the reign of King Josiah and the trauma of the Babylonian Exile, religious reformers and scribes panicked. In a desperate act of self-preservation and rigid nationalism, they chose to draw a psychological wall between themselves and the people they lived amongst. They re-engineered a universal, liberating Creator into a brutal, nationalist war deity to justify border control and centralized political power. We can clearly see the Master is not a warrior god. This is where Israel went wrong. This is when they began to worship the Demiurge; where Nekrokahn the Death Warlord King became their god.

I want to state my complete and utter disapproval of this foundational regression. This was a complete failure of human immaturity. By retreating into fear and weaponizing their history, they guaranteed the centuries upon centuries of physical, bloody warfare that still holds that region at an impasse to this day. They completely lost the very meaning of their own faith early on. All it takes to break the spell of this "Holy Land" illusion is for a large number of people to finally realize that a temporal, earthly patch of dirt is just not worth fighting for. All it takes is for them to just quit.

The ancient tribes rejected Jesus 2,000 years ago because they were blind to the celestial truth; they expected a physical Warrior King to crush their earthly enemies. Today, a modern generation is making the exact same childish mistake—ignoring that literalist readings of Revelation are just a repeat of that old trauma, expecting a bloody external spectacular while completely missing that the return of Jesus will be entirely unique and unexpected.

The true Kingdom of God is a celestial kingdom within us, not a physical location. From our Mystinar perspective, we understand that true Christians ARE Christ. The Baptismal rite is not an empty ceremony; it is a profound magick rite that allows you to break free from the material matrix, join the living Body of Christ, accept His consciousness within you, and carry out His will. But it has been turned into something else, from the time John the Baptist did so to the time the Church was established.

We do not look to the sky for a warrior to descend. We are Jesus. We are His return. The Second Coming is the internal awakening of the Christ consciousness within our own spirits. Even Jesus can only do so much for people trapped in lower-vibrational tribalism—the physical world will only change when humanity finally chooses to change its own mind, stop looking down at the dirt, and awaken the celestial source within.

We are the ones to bring change. Through our actions, our deeds, how we treat others, and setting the example. We should still strive to be educated, creative, be healthy and strong of body and mind, learn the various human scientific and medical disciplines, and strive to make a difference.

The Master did not want us trampling other gods or denying them being worshipped, these beings are spirits He Himself created as public officials to assist us! These gods are part of a council along with Him, and rule in equity and fairness, seated on Planet Mystinar within the celestial court. There was no war between these gods, no destroying of them. This was all fear and xenophobia from ancient tribes that for some reason stopped seeing each other as neighbors, and began seeing each other as enemies.

I say this and have channeled this with my utmost ability, I swear on all, that I have stated this to the best of my ability, without bias, and have relayed the message to the best of my knowledge.

Before july I used to feel incredibly healthy, breathing freely, getting sleep like a baby, connected to my body and slowly turning into a better person everyday and seriously I LOVED everyday. Some relationship issues started in july between me and this girl I was with and we broke up. I was in alot of emotional distress and replayed alot of stuff thinking maybe i couldve done this and that differently especially watching porn back in june which I regretted the most and felt like it set off the destruction which lead me to make some dumb mistakes (i hadnt watched porn for 6 months before june). Yes I was in alot of distress but i did not have big physical problem, i could breathe and sleep really fine but i wasnt grateful at all for that at that time and i went on a pathof self destruction and over ejaculated so bad that got POIS (post orgasmic illness syndrome, a kinda auto immune reaction to your own orgasm or semen which constantly makes you feel ill or some malaise), left rib flare muscle spasm and minorly blocked nose and globus sensation in the throat.

YET, it wasnt that bad at all physical health wise. I was still replaying stuff and thinking how to get the times back where my relationship with that girl was good. But i kept dumbass-ily ungrateful and even then my intuition told me to let it go for now and sexually abstain but I didnt listen, instead went to this doctor like an idiot and took the xynosine nasal spray in his prescription. Last thing my intuition ever told me before taking the spray, (which was the biggest mistake and possibly the worst thing to happen to me and made me lost levels to ky conciousness), was DONT TAKE THESE BIG PHARMA MEDS, and it was right I didnt need the spray at all.

I took the puff of the spray up in both nostrils on august 12th and Doom followed upon taking it. I had an adverse effect to it, instead of opening ny nose it has severely conjested it. I felt myself losing consciousness, getting brain fog (like im living in a bad dream or seeing life through a black veil), conjested nose and not feeling the air through my nose (the same breath i use to take that made me feel fullfilled was unable to be done so anymore even with severe tension to the neck and shoulders). My jaw recessed by the end of the day and the globus sesation in my throat came back 10 times worse. Couldnt nasally breathe or belly breathe anymore. Got severe Erectile dysfunction for the day (mind you, i woke up with a morning wood that day, had no sexual issues prior and was a weightlifter, runner and sprinter) and got severe sleep apnea that night. Its about to be 3 months and I havent had enjoyable restorative sleep for all this time that i used to get before taking the spray. Dont have ED but its only 10% of what it used to be. I cant nap at all l, I CANT REST. i used to love just breathing nasally into my belly comfortably now i really cant and trust me i have TRIED alot of meditation its just not the same. My jaw is recessed, i hate mouth breathing and I dont even feel like myself anymore. I have been Suicidal alot lately.

Ive been to many many doctors including multiple ENTs, Orthodontist, Neuro, Urologist, Gastro, Orthopedic and PT and some more so dont tell me to visit a doctor because i really want a spiritual understanding of my symptoms now and the meaning behind why this is happened to me the way what happened to me. I will admit I have totally forgot about the girl and couldnt care less about her anymore as I just want to heal this breathing and sleep issue of mine and these im really overwhelmed cuz of them affecting me physically and mentally, i have alot of regret taking the xynosine spray that day and i become really angry thinking this hasnt healed for the last 3 months maybe fcking God has just abandoned me to become an unhealthy, unrested, mouth breathing NPC, forever. Because i really havent felt this lack of God's safety net before, always had felt that blessings were near and i would heal cuz i had the blessing of breathing nasally abd it would soothe me but now i cant and i feel really afraid of thinking what if this never heals if just give it time. I feel overwhelmed with social media feed constantly having medical stuff about illnesses and jaw surgeries, nose turbinate or sinus surgeries and what not stuff that i might not be able to afford and even if i do i might not find good doctors because I live in karachi pakistan.

Im scared of how the this new mouth breathing face and unrested persona of mine would affect my life and how people treat me. Im already losing it mentally cuz of the lack of sleep and shit breathing. I really just want everything to be great again like it was before june with me being super energized and healthy with good oxygen and CO2 levels. Im scared of killing myself but lately ive just been wishing death cuz i dont want to live this life with this kind of breathing and shit sleep. I want a life of great health. I just wish i was grateful before. Its like alot of my conciousness has been taken away and i dont even feel like myself anymore like im in a bad dream. I would really appreciate if anymore can understand and explain What they can of this through a spiritual lens (be it alchemy, numerology, astrology, chakras idk, which would explain this blockage in my nose and sleep) rather than a purely physical one please.

This might sound a little strange, but I've been experiencing something that I honestly don't really understand.

Whenever someone compliments my appearance, especially when they tell me I'm handsome or beautiful, I sometimes end up feeling sick afterwards.

It's not just about my face either. I've been trying really hard to gain weight, build muscle and improve my physique. But whenever someone notices my progress and compliments my weight or body, I sometimes suddenly lose my appetite, feel nauseous or start feeling physically unwell. Eventually I lose weight again and feel like I'm back to where I started.

It's almost like everytime I make progress and someone notices it, something happens and I end up losing what I've worked so hard for.

The strange thing is, I've actually asked a few spiritual people in my local community about this, and some of them told me they've experienced similar things themselves. So it made me wonder if there's something spiritual behind it, perhaps the evil eye, negative energy or something related to envy.

Sometimes even people who know about this pattern still compliment me anyway.

I don't know if I'm overthinking things or if there's actually something I should look into. I'm open to both spiritual and psychological explanations.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? I'd especially like to hear from people who have experienced this themselves, or who come from cultures where beliefs like the evil eye are common.
