Buddhists from space leave crop circle?

Amy Oliver, DailyMail.co.uk, Aug. 13, 2012; Wisdom Quarterly

Intricate crop circle of Buddhist symbol for infinite time and wisdom appears in crop field

Buddhist endless knot symbol illustrates perceptions of reality.

This is the latest intricate crop circle to appear overnight in a British wheat field.

  

The mysterious pattern resembles the ancient Tibetan Buddhist symbol of an "endless knot" -- a complex loop of lines and circles to illustrate the eternal flow of time.used

   

The symbol has many meanings, but because it has no beginning and no end, many people who follow the religion say it represents the wisdom of the Buddha.

"Been reading the Dhammapada."

This endless knot crop circle has been carved into a field at Cheesefoot Head, Winchester near the A272 motorway. Amateur pilot Matthew Williams snapped the pattern near Cheesefoot Head, Hampshire.

He said: "I’m a bit of a sceptic. But this is such an intricate design, I don’t know who could make such a thing." He added, "To me, there’s such peace and calm emanating from this formation! The tangled mass of twists and turns release some great energy when you realize it is an unbroken line."

   

By walking from any one point in this huge formation, it is possible to walk all the way around, covering every inch of carved-out path and return to the start [just as wisdom emanates from and returns to the heart].

  

Crop circles have been appearing in fields throughout the summer. Some believe they are signs left by space aliens and UFOs. But others think they are made by pranksters. [There is little doubt that both are true.] More

Who are the "Buddhists from space"?

Dharmacharis Seven and Amber Dorrian, Wisdom Quarterly

The Buddha under, on, above Mt. Sumeru, Axis Mundi, with humans at base (michielkauwatjoecom).

  

 Cave art: sky devas (Jasspierxia)

Who are the "space aliens" (akasha-loka devas) and how could they be Buddhist? As funny as it may sound, there are Buddhists in space. 

  

"Space" (Sanskrit, akasha) refers to the infinite sky. Beings coming from, patrolling, or living in the sky are referred to as akasha devas -- literally, "space shining ones."
  
Not all are devas proper, but it is a general term for superior and longer lived beings. (These are the gods, godlings, and demigods described in religious lore East and West, from pre-Hindu to pre-Christian, in ancient India, Rome, Greece, Egypt, Sumer, and throughout the Near East).

There are also asuras (titans), yakkhas (ogres of a furry bipedal nature), nagas (reptilians), and brahmas (powerful creative beings that have transcended sex). One class of beings who reside two levels up in the space worlds (lokas) above Earth are the subjects of Sakka, Ruler of the Devas. Which devas? Only the limited number in Tavatimsa, the world of the 33 "lords" or rulers of that space plane.

 

His "star command" is good and wishes to benefit humans and the perpetuation of the Buddha's Dharma (path to liberation).

   

He frequently visited the Buddha in his vimana (UFO, space chariot) with his driver and is said to have become a stream enterer, having entered upon the first stage of enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teaching. There are inimical forces however. And Sakka is said to have asked lesser "angelic" (subordinate space rulers from the four quarters of the sky) messenger beings (devas and gandharvas) to keep an eye on human progress particularly in the arena of virtue.

   

It is said that these "Four Great Kings" (catu-maha-rajikas), who regard Sakka as their king making him "King of Kings," patrol our skies and monitor humanity in that respect apparently with devices that read the heart/mind of humans.

   

These devas or "space aliens," it should be noted, are not hideous reptoids, little green men, or monsters. They are Nordic aliens who mated with humans and thereby enhanced our physical symmetry, beauty, and intelligence as is recorded by countless cultures and spiritual traditions.

   

While all this may seem like utterly ridiculous "mythology," East and West, Wisdom Quarterly tries to keep abreast of actual UFO research, leaks, and discoveries to show how far from the mark we have strayed from what is real and what the modern mainstream media would have us believe.

  

It is only natural that one would doubt and dismiss any talk of angels, aliens, giants, and virtue. And that would be fine if we did not then fail to investigate. After all, the truth is much stranger than our fiction.

WikiLeaks' Julian granted asylum in Ecuador

Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven, Pfc. Sandoval, Wisdom Quarterly (ANALYSIS)

(veteranstoday.com)

 

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who forestalled extradition to Sweden (then abduction to the US for torture and silencing) from the UK by asking for humanitarian asylum from Ecuador while residing safely in its London embassy, has been granted permission to remain in the embassy indefinitely.

  

The US/UK will not stand for it. Assange is wanted for questioning -- never having been charged -- by Sweden. But Sweden, in fact, does not want to question him about trumped up sexual offenses, for if it did it would come to England and conduct an interview. Instead, it is being pressured and guided by the US to get hold of the Australian citizen and then extradite him to America.

  

England is now contemplating the unthinkable: It is threatening to break into sovereign Ecuador's embassy, which like all embassies is regarded as Ecuadorian soil. Therefore, it claims to be planning an invasion.

  

Prosecuting Pfc. Bradley Manning contradicts every principle of whistle blower protection, freedom of the press, and free speech rights. If Manning is guilty then so are all people, papers, and other mainstream media outlets that have ever disseminated secret leaked information.

Similarly, if Assange is allowed to be silenced, disappeared, or indefinitely imprisoned in super-max facilities in the US, and entire organization is being silenced for whistle blowing. Manning, as a US soldier, had a personal legal responsibility to reveal American military crimes.

  

Assange as an Australian national was clearly within his rights to published leaked materials like an media outlet enabled by the worldwide Web. But because it revealed war crimes and plans of the only remaining superpower, it has not gone unpunished in contradiction to international law. 

• Will Americans stand silently by? Will we be complicit? (Germany was once a superpower, and precious few Germans spoke out when it counted. What will we do?)

The military says B.S. Obama did not kill Osama bin Laden; Americans did. I did not. Only those who applaud and approve of it did. SEAL Team 6 are not bragging about extrajudicially executing a man in long-dead Osama's place. Obama is bragging. Hillary Clinton is bragging. Joe Biden is bragging. Now the military is speaking out against its commander in chief even as he remains in office.

Dishonorable Disclosures

(OPSECTeam)

   

I didn't mean to brag about StuxNet and Iran?

Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how Pres. Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage.
   
Countless leaks, disclosures, interviews, and decisions by the Obama Administration and other officials have undermined the success of the Military-Industrial Complex's Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk. 

   

Dishonorable disclosures are so serious that for the first time former operators have agreed to risk their reputations and go on the record in this special documentary. 

   

Its goal is to educate Americans about serious breaches of security by the Obama Administration (largely ignoring those of the previous administration and its Valerie Plame outing) and prevent them from ever happening again. (Use of military ranks, titles, and photographs in uniform does not imply endorsement of the Dept. of the Army or the Department of [War]. All individuals are no longer in active service with any federal agency or military service).

Permaculture solutions: Biodiversity

BeeKeeper Davey, TheGrowingHome.net

Suggestions on mulching remind me that a longer-term solution is to encourage biodiversity.
  
The wider the range of all kinds of insects one has living and dying in a garden or farm, the more likely there will be a dynamic balance of beneficials and non-beneficials.

Plant insect varieties choose edibles and ornamentals. Let some of the edibles go to seed. And plant trap crops, such as milkweed for aphids. Johanna Campos of the Armory Art Center's  demonstration garden knows about this kind of approach. We went through The Huntington's Urban Ecosystem Agriculture course together.

   

Classmates and I have begun writing about it at Urban-Ecosystem-Agriculture, Leonardo's site LiveEarthSystems.com, and Kathleen wrote about it at Pathway to the Garden.
