This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karmic patterns are the structures of the universal field that are affecting our lives in numerous ways and causing condensation of the mind. They are really the things in the stratosphere that can cause us to feel overwhelmed and confused. We must know that the karmic patterns in the mind are really the mathematical formulas in the light encoded messages which are emanating in space and time to try and activate our bodies for healing purposes so that we can fulfill our true purpose. When we are paying attention to the things that cause us harm, we will reduce the density of our bodies and realize the real meaning of life. As we live and breathe, we must know that the characteristics of the body that causes us to feel pain and sadness are the things that makes us also feel better. Karmic patterns are the things in life that enables us to reduce the necessities of life that brings us shame and guilt. It is also the useless things that contribute to us feeling hopeless and unworthy. Many people do not reach their full potential because they are not really paying attention to the necessary burdens that weight their minds and bodies to decay. It can also translate to the newness of life that causes us to feel more joy and gladness. Long Book Description The karmic pattern of the mind is what I can now introduce as a brand-new concept in the Language of Light. It was destined to come with my own wisdom at this moment in time. It is the deep resonance of my own indwelling that has caused this spiritual concept to evolve with time and space. I can now elaborate on this new concept of the mind being intertwined with what are called the karmic patterns of the body. These patterns are the information which are wrapped around the nodal points and are cojoined to the magnetic strip of the human mind. Karmic patterns are nothing new. This was simply referred to as karma before, but these are really patterns of distortions that occupy the human body. They regulate the proper functioning of the human mind. The karmic patterns revolve around the nodal points of the spine, which are attached to our backbone. To explain further, these patterns can be seen in the mind’s eyes, as the indentation on the spine, but they are really just electrical points of contact. They follow the same oscillating patterns of the earth. In so doing, karmic patterns are the distinguishing factor, which our society considers to be good or bad and wrong or right. These patterns also resonate with what are called good and evil actions, or black and white on the frequency of light. The difference here is very stark, but on the frequency of light, there are different levels, as can be seen on the colors of the rainbow. So, there is nothing that is really black or white in the case of our actions. It is just that the intensity of good or bad which causes good or evil in life. This is absolute truth. However, in the universal plane, there is nothing that is referred to as evil. It is really a construct of the mind to take appropriate actions, to correct patterns of behaviour for incidents in life which are stark, in the manner they are inflicted on the psyche of human suffering. This includes heinous crimes such are murder, torture, rape, and kidnapping in society. These behaviours are really the driving force of what is seen to be evil, and justice needs to be appropriated to inflict harm on those who commit such crimes. The frequency colour match for the karmic pattern is purple. This purple colour must remain constant for the body to be in optimum health. But with the frequency of time and space, the colour changes its hue to the resonance at any given time. The changes in the colour pattern of the body are what cause the fluctuation of time and space, and the karmic patterns are what drive the necessary stages of health in the body.This can be seen on the scale of light, as matching the light purple colour. When the colour purple in karmic pattern changes to a darker hue, it means that the body is in distress and needs attention. When we experience thing in the world that contribute to war and murder then the karmic field are rife with indignity and plural patterns that causes punishment and indignity. We must challenge ourselves that the things that causes others to suffer must never be the corner stone of our success.

Download or read book The Real Cause of Suffering Mental Health Crisis Globally written by Caroline Ann Kennedy and published by Caroline Ann Kennedy. This book was released on 2024-07-04 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people are facing mental health crisis today and are adversely affected by the harmful medication that is prescribed to them. Millions go to an early grave due to the disturbing side effects of these treatments and then others are simply cast away by society to become invalids in their families. This is not the reality of what the destiny of life holds for the millions around the world who are adversely affected by mental health issues which are further triggered by anxiety and depression. There are also many other types of mental health crisis which affect older people such as Alzheimer's and Dementia Parkinson and Tardive Dyskinesia. These illnesses are wrongly diagnosed. In most cases they are actually the symptomatic reaction of what the intelligence of the body naturally wants to be evolved to. The harmful medications provided only destroy the natural flow of the wisdom of the body and can even cripple the mind. Simple healing modalities can be given to simplify the sympathetic system and then expand the mind to high states of awareness and wisdom. It is the prevailing wisdom of the Universal field that wants to get diverted to the consciousness of humanity. Even the things that are affecting children like ADHD and autism can be softened with simple modalities like songs using the Language of Light. In fact, all the modalities which I use include the Language of Light. We must not get to bugged down with the worrisome thought that life is over when we are affected by any kind of mental instability of the mind and body. Long Book Description Mental Health Ciris globally are affected by the nuances of time and space that is fluctuating with the frequency of light and cannot be disputed by the ones who are propagating the cures and vaccinations. Those who are radically affected in their entangled minds simply cannot function with what is given to them as a remedy for healing their minds. The mind is simply the electrical field of the body and cannot be activated with chemicals which are very harmful to the body, especially to the central nervous system. It is a distinctive thing to know that everyone who claims to know what is happening in society cannot simply fix those who are broken mentally. Prescribing chemical compounds that can stifle the life force out of the body is not an indicator of helping those who are suffering. It is the many facets of life that can cause people to become too engorged in the mind so that they begin to feel hopeless and unworthy of themselves. When they are then taken to the hospital for help, the wrong diagnosis is pronounced and then they are prescribed dangerous anti-psychotic drugs. The many organizations which are responsible for helping those who are labeled as mentally ill are not equipped with the correct tools to rectify the symptoms that are affecting those who are suffering. It is the wisdom of the ages that will help to effectively treat the real causes of the labels attached to those who are mentally unbalanced. My own experience with suffering from being unbalanced in the mind has propelled me to new levels of awareness, where I knew from the inception of the occurrence of the imbalance that I would have to be a voice for those who are suffering with mental condition of the mind and body. I knew distinctly then as I know now that I will not only be a voice for those who are suffering with mental health conditions and feel utterly hopeless and confused, but I am ahead of other who came before me to provide the wisdom of the universe to those who are entrusted with the care of the mentally ill patients. We must never allow the indignity of money and gullibility to stifle our conscience to become rich from the suffering patients who are mentally unbalanced. It is also the problematic things in the universe that can trigger the density of the times that are causing more people to become so heavy with density that they simply cannot cope with the magnetic proportion of the things that they have faced in life.The majority of people who are suffering globally with depression and anxiety are feeling the effects of the galactic center, being rife with the density of sadness, shame, guilt, fear, and loneliness. This is what triggers feelings of anxiousness, deception, hate and anger. These feelings can be softened with loving kindness to self and then be transmuted with hope and dignity. However, if left unchecked, these feelings can accumulate to heavier feelings of depression, anxiety, and utter hopelessness. These are really repressed feelings which are not managed with care and due diligence from childhood and then are not fully understood as the individuals grow to adulthood. There are many levels of mental health crisis happening in the world today. This can be seen in the many rehab facilities which offer hope to the ones who are negatively charged. These facilities are really a heaven for more of the nuances of what is not need by the ones who must suffer from the medication that is prescribed to them. It is the ultimate crucifixion of the lifeforce to have these drugs taken as the sole factor to fix those who are broken mentally. They cause more damage than good. More efforts should be placed on having those who are already enlightened to share the wisdom of the ages to help soften the central nervous system and then reduce the tension on the body. The spine is especially affected by mental health conditions such as panic attacks and manic-depressive disorder. It is also the things like schizophrenia that can further delegate those affected to an early grave. It must be pointed out here that these are the states of the mind that can be rectified without the prescribed illicit medications. These anti-psychotic medications are really a danger to the body and can severely affect the organs and sympathetic systems of the body. The central nervous system is also drastically reduced to the density of the stratosphere when there are too many chemical imbalances from the medications. The dopamine and serotonin levels are significantly reduced when the medications are contra active to what the body is supposed to naturally produce. I am capable of helping those who are facing severe mental health issues to come to a place of healing and then afford them the decency of knowing the life can continue with ease and grace without the need for any harmful medication whatsoever. It is the distinction to know that we are called to become enlightened so that we can help others who are suffering with mental illness.

Download or read book Making Sense of Mind Only written by William S. Waldron and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through engaging, contemporary examples, Making Sense of Mind Only reveals the Yogacara school of Indian Buddhism as a coherent system of ideas and practices for the path to liberation, contextualizing its key texts and rendering them accessible and relevant. The Yogacara, or Yoga Practice, school is one of the two schools of Mahayana Buddhism that developed in the early centuries of the common era. Though it arose in India, Mahayana Buddhism now flourishes in China, Tibet, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. While the other major Mahayana tradition, the Madhyamaka (Middle Way), focuses on the concept of emptiness—that all phenomena lack an intrinsic essence—the Yogacara school focuses on the cognitive processes whereby we impute such essences. Through everyday examples and analogues in cognitive science, author William Waldron makes Yogacara’s core teachings—on the three turnings of the Dharma wheel, the three natures, the storehouse consciousness, and mere perception—accessible to a broad audience. In contrast to the common characterization of Yogacara as philosophical idealism, Waldron presents Yogacara Buddhism on its own terms, as a coherent system of ideas and practices, with dependent arising its guiding principle. The first half of Making Sense of Mind Only explores the historical context for Yogacara’s development. Waldron examines early Buddhist texts that show how our affective and cognitive processes shape the way objects and worlds appear to us, and how we erroneously grasp onto them as essentially real—perpetuating the habits that bind us to samsara. He then analyzes the early Madhyamaka critique of essences. This context sets the stage for the book’s second half, an examination of how Yogacara texts such as the Samdhinirmocana Sutra and Asanga’s Stages of Yogic Practice (Yogacarabhumi) build upon these earlier ideas by arguing that our constructive processes also occur unconsciously. Not only do we collectively, yet mostly unknowingly, construct shared realities or cultures, our shared worlds are also mediated through the storehouse consciousness (alayavijñana) functioning as a cultural unconscious. Vasubandhu’s Twenty Verses argues that we can learn to recognize such objects and worlds as “mere perceptions” (vijñaptimatra) and thereby abandon our enchantment with the products of our own cognitive processes. Finally, Maitreya’s Distinguishing Phenomena from Their Ultimate Nature (Dharmadharmatavibhaga) elegantly lays out the Mahayana path to this transformation. In Waldron’s hands, Yogacara is no mere view but a practical system of transformation. His presentation of its key texts and ideas illuminates how religion can remain urgent and vital in our scientific and pluralistic age.
