The Education of a God : An Excerpt
Once upon a time a pious King and his wife wished for a son to rule the kingdom wisely, for they loved the people.
The being who chose to be born to the King and Queen was a god, whose education was not yet perfected. He chose to be born as the son to perfect his education for he wished to experience life as a human being again, and so he was born and raised as the future ruler of the kingdom.
While he was being raised as a human being and temporarily forgetting he is a god who has not fully realized himself, everyone was watching him, including all of the teachers of a council. Thus he learned not only everything required for a future king, but his teachers in human form taught him also about other worlds. But as he took the form of a human being, he was thus limited by the form and everything it entails.
The council which monitors the education of the young Prince agreed to test him on his 21st birthday and the king and the queen was informed by the sages in the palace that as a king who would rule the kingdom someday he must be wise, and so the test was prepared. The King and Queen agreed to visit a neighboring kingdom as guests of that kingdom for a period enough for the sages in the palace to do the testing.
The queen was not happy but agreed to leave her son in the care of the sages.
On his 21st birthday, the palace was opened to everyone and among the many guests he was to choose a few people whom he has no knowledge about and allow them to stay in the palace with him for a week following a three week celebration where everyone was invited. As part of the test, he is to make all of his decisions on his own without counsel from anyone.
The celebration was joyous. The subjects were very pleased with the young Prince, and as he was raised by wise parents they knew that he too would rule wisely.
Thus came the time when the guests he had chosen were to stay in the palace for a week, and the young Prince was to choose two from among his many guests and the two he chooses will live in the palace with him as part of his counsel.
The ten guests he chose were housed in the many rooms in the palace and wined and dined with the Prince, and all the week, everyone became his friend. At the end of the week they were to bid the Prince goodbye and go back to their old life.
The first one thought that since he is now the friend of the future king, he could take whatever he wanted from the palace. Thus he chose a golden goblet and took it with him along with a few gold coins. He had no intention of coming back to the palace, he would got o a far, far away place and enjoy his life. He would be a wealthy man. Thus with the help of two other guests he was able to conceal the stolen goods from everyone else when they left the palace, and they all agreed to meet in one place to share the loot. Thus for the sake of gold, he abandoned the friendship of the future King. As he was before, as he is now.
The second one was a Brahmin, like the King, and he thought he would just enjoy the company of the future king. Wealth meant nothing to him as he too was quite wealthy, and he expected to be invited as one of his counsel and enjoy life as the Prince’s counsel, but although he did not covet the prince’s wealth, he had contempt for the Prince whom he thought foolish. He could then influence the future king’s decision and rule behind the throne. But the Prince could see through this plot and thus dismissed this man as well.
All others thanked the future prince and were ready to leave but the one question remained. What to do with the thief and his two cronies.
The future king knew of the theft, and at first he was really angry that his friendship was betrayed. The punishment for theft was cutting the hand of the thief, but as he stole from the future king after having been invited to wine and dine with him required that the three thieves be first tortured in a chamber.
While he had already made up his mind, he wanted to know what the others opinions were. All but one of the guests said the thief and his partners be beheaded immediately. One, said, “O future king. This man and his partners stole from you. What harm had he done? You have more riches than any one of us in the kingdom, for you will someday inherit the kingdom. I beg you let him go with mercy.”
The sages and teachers awaited his decision, for in it lies the key to his freedom as a god. Full knowledge of his being. At last the future King spoke. “Let them go and double what they stole from me, for I have more riches than anyone. And if they use it to do another human being a kindness, then perhaps someday they themselves will realize honor.”
And with this he realized the god that he is, and that his earthly travel was no more than a wish he had, and that his home was away from this place. And in that moment he exchanged places and faces with the merciful guest who was a gypsy, and away he left as one of the other guests. And the gypsy conceived himself to be the prince. And the Prince bid the other Brahmin to stay with him in the palace as a reflection of his own humanity.
When the King and Queen arrived they decided that it was time to crown the new King. And thus the king ruled wisely until his death and he had many wives and children and the kingdom flourished when the king was wise, and declined when the king was foolish, but the earth and its inhabitants remained.
And the god, came and went as he wished, now a woman, now a man, now a pauper, now a prince, just to visit the place where he had learned the meaning of kindness and of love and of justice, for at other times, he sat at the council in a place that most ordinary humans cannot conceive.
It was a point where space and time and objects, even galaxies, were created and uncreated at will. © 2011 Melinda M. Sorensson

The Gap between Actuality and Reality, from the Unmanifest to Manifest and Our Shared Illusions
We live in illusion, the appearance of things. But there is a reality, we are that reality. When we recognize this, we see that we are nothing. Being nothing, we are everything." Journey of Awakening by Ram Dass
Today I was thinking of the movie “The Secret." It is one of the biggest hits in the history of publishing; surpassed only by the Harry Potter series…I could be wrong.
When it first came out, I bought a dozen of it and gave them to friends as present. In hindsight, I probably did them an injustice, because the manifestation process requires that one be so in tuned with this universe, but it really is not as simple as they portrayed in the movie.
There is a gap between thoughts and physical reality and that gap is not easily traversed. It is true there are people who can manifest anything at will, but those very same people will not for they have to be responsible for the consequences of their creations.
The true manifestors create what they need and destroy at will. They have no need to hang on to anything or to own anything.
For this I will give an example where a devotee of Krishna, a King, who was at war with another kingdom. The King and his men had just finished a battle, lost heavily and needed to rest for the night to fight another battle in the morning. His men were tired and hungry as they had been fighting for a while. They came into an enchanted forest were there supposedly lived a hermit endowed with magical powers. When they got to the forest, the King removed his sandals and ordered his men to do the same, to show respect. Legend had it that this hermit was Krishna in human form.
After the King removed his sandals before entering the forest, the sage came out of nowhere and said, “O King, you have come to the right place. For tonight, you and your men shall rest and be entertained, for you have shown great respect by removing your sandals before going in and Lord Krishna is pleased. Please have your men unsaddle their horses and have the horses get food and water.”
So the King and his men entered the forest and laid down their weapons and unsaddled their horses, and behold, a giant waterfalls appeared right before their very eyes, and a number of tents to shelter them for the night, and food, and wine, everything that a man could ever want for a feast. And beautiful women were serving his soldiers. And the horses were watered and fed, and the king was grateful to the hermit and to Lord Krishna.
When morning came, the men did not want to leave the forest to fight, they wanted to stay in the forest and be fed and pampered. But the King had a war to fight and so he went to the hermit and told him of his predicament. And the hermit blew a breath and the King and the men fell asleep and when they woke up, all the signs of what they experienced the night before were gone and the forest only had trees and a small stream, but they were rested and fed, and they saddled the horses to go and fight.
Was it just a dream? We can never tell. All men dreamt the same dream then. Very much like our universe.
Our universe is the manifestation of a collective consciousness. It cannot be undone. It can be rearranged much like the props in a stage play or an opera, but it is here. When those that can undo it decide, they have to have the collective agreement of those who built it in the first place. Unfortunately, some of those who agreed are no longer around and hence the seeming solidity of everything.
There is actuality and there is reality. We do not distinguish between the two, normally, but we must. The definitions in the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary are presented here.
Definition of ACTUALITY
1: the quality or state of being actual
2: something that is actual : fact, reality
— in actuality
: in actual fact
See actuality defined for English-language learners »
Examples of ACTUALITY
The actuality was quite different from the theory.
First Known Use of ACTUALITY
Related to ACTUALITY
Synonyms: existence, corporality, corporeality, reality,subsistence, thingness
Antonyms: inexistence, nonbeing, nonexistence,nothingness, unreality
Definition of REALITY
1: the quality or state of being real
2a (1) : a real event, entity, or state of affairs (2) : the totality of real things and eventsb : something that is neither derivative nor dependent but exists necessarily
3: television programming that features videos of actual occurrences (as a police chase, stunt, or natural disaster) —often used attributively
— in reality
: in actual fact
See reality defined for English-language learners »
Examples of REALITY
the difference between fiction and reality
The reality is that we can't afford to buy a house.
He used television as an escape from reality.
They made the plan a reality.
First Known Use of REALITY
Related to REALITY
Synonyms: actuality, case, materiality, fact
Antonyms: fantasy (also phantasy), fiction, illusion
We all live in illusion. The illusion of the solidity of things. A common agreement. When we create in thought, we have actuality. The physical world is a common reality and yet superimposed within it is another world that we can create and destroy at will, at any moment.
The best way I can think of to illustrate it at this point is that the phenomenal world is a stage. We are the crew. We can assume any role and we do, at any one point in time. We can rearrange the set, change the play, the character, remove things, and add things to it. But we remain. We are the only constants.
When we realize this, the world ceases to be a battlefield, rather it becomes a garden to enjoy. Imagine being able to create a giant waterfalls at will. It does exist, if only in our minds, and in our minds, truly the world, or many worlds can be a playground. This is what the gift of the imagination is about.

Absolute Power
This is an answer to one of the posts in the hubpages comments on the article The Six Kinds of Power
The body is a shell. It does have cellular memory. We need it to be in this world, on this planet, in this galaxy.
The mind is like a fly which alighted on a giant's shoulder and thinks itself to be master, but it is largely a programmed mass of imprints...this is sad but it is true.
The spirit, the breath of God, is what animates the body, but in most of us, it is asleep. The mind therefore thinking that it can command the body makes it a slave to the demands of the body and to its own demands...and it has endless demands...we see this when we meditate and see that thoughts arise one after another. It says me me me...me first, me only, serve me.
The spirit or soul is perfect but it is sleeping and needs to reawaken in order to assert itself.
When it has awakened, it sees the cruelty of the mind.
Awake, it sees itself as it really is. Boundless compassion, unlimited and unconditional love, more powerful than what the mind can conceive itself to be, no matter how grandiose the vision.
An awakened spirit knows itself to be eternal, invincible and invulnerable, but to get to that stage there are tests after tests after tests.
Absolute power can corrupt in human terms but one is never given absolute power unless firstly it has developed panoramic awareness which does not allow it to be frivolous in any sense.
In the Buddhist tradition, it makes one lift the cockroach off the floor and take it outside so it can live. In the Christian tradition, it is the story of a saint getting the scissors and cutting off an expensive veil to half because a cat was sleeping on the other half and she needed it. In the Bhagavad Gita, it is Krishna's answer to Arjuna's decrying his having to fight his cousins in the war.
The temptation of Jesus Christ literally sums it all up.
That was the koan, a riddle, which one could understand intellectually and from the heart but to understand and relate to is different than to know.

I Said Goodbye to Yesterday
My son is still sleeping. This week he moves into the dormitories to begin his new life as a college freshman.
The garbage truck was late today. They normally come at 6:30 am, but they came five hours later. I watched as the giant arms of the truck grasped the massive trash bin which can hold, if it were disassembled,and without the engine, a whole car.
I watched as part of my life got lifted and thrown together with the trash of a whole neighborhood, remnants of what I held dear, a part of me. Old photographs, old letters, I have been hanging on to them for so long they have traveled all the way from Honolulu to California to Pennsylvania to Connecticut and here to Louisiana, over a span of 18 years. It is time to let go of what once was, but it was not so easy.
I agonized about throwing a lot of it away. I feel like I should have created a big bonfire to celebrate freedom from the past but it is just another drama.
I said goodbye to the dramas in my life as well. I created them all and I can create them again. For now,I am not being,not doing,and not having or is it the other way around?
Tomorrow I go back to what I first loved. But that is tomorrow. Just for today I will celebrate.

True Surrender Results in Peace
I should have entitled this piece "And the Joke Was on Me" for many reasons. Firstly, I realized that I was what Chogyam Trungpa described as rigidly solid. I have been doing sitting meditation for so many years, "disciplining" myself. It is all so hilarious now.
On Saturdays I usually do ten hours of meditation. No matter what happens. Sometimes the body gives way after 8 hours and I stop.
Yesterday I had so many demands on my time and I chose to attend to them instead of doing my sitting. My mind was agitated and I kept questioning why now? After all, I have done so many hours of sitting. My peace of mind was disturbed because of an unusual dream. But I was thinking, how can this be? I was so peaceful all week! Here I was following all the rules of surrendering to the heart, and yet my peace was feeble, not imperturbable at all! How can a dream, a creation of my ego do this?
After two hours of sitting, instead of doing eight more hours of sitting, I went out for a walk and I looked at the moon and it was peaceful and calm and it was cool and all of a sudden I realized this is all an illusion, a dream within a dream within a dream and I can dismiss all of it, at will. Even the cause of my agitation.
When I came back, I pulled out my copy of Chogyam Trungpa's "The Myth of Freedom" and started reading for at least the 100th time. And then I started laughing and laughing and laughing, at myself.
I realized how seriously I had been taking life. So rigid, so disciplined, so closed! No room for learning. I fancied myself liberated but what I had done instead was reinforced my ego! Oh...that was so funny.
"I started a joke and the joke was on me" as the song goes.

A Tribute to the Man That Was, Richard Feynman
I have met a few Nobel Laureates. Somehow I seem to be at the right place at the right time on all of those times.
My most favorite of all times is Richard Feynman, whom I have never met (My sincerest apologies to the ones that I have. I admire and respect all of you equally).
One sentence sums it. He lived a fearless life. From what I have read he was so in tune with himself, so honest to the point of arrogance but he lived to no one else's rules. He did his work, yes, but he lived.
The ones that really knew him, loved him although he has ruffled a few feathers in his lifetime.
I never knew him as a person but I knew we would have gotten along well if we did.

The Power of Decision
One of my business clients wanted a modest estate for a new home. He had found so many to look at but his heart was set on this one. He wanted it. It was his hearts' desire.
To my amazement and pure delight, he created the situation where the unusual became possible. When on the verge of getting it, he decided he did not want it after all.
This is a real life situation. The fascinating thing about it from my point of view is the ability of one man to desire something so much that his desire fueled a series of events that would lead to what he THOUGHT he wanted.
It reminds me of the episode where Spock's future wife created a situation where she would end up the victor regardless of what happens,and Spock telling her in the end that "You will find that having is not the same as wanting."
