Hi everyone,
I've been doing comparative religious studies now for approx. 10 yrs.
and I've been initiated into Dzogchen (A "sudden path" way) for approx. 3/4 yrs. and I'm now a Master Mason in Freemasonry as well as have been studying Jiddhu Krishnamurti's "teachings" which are a form of "sudden enlightenment" teachings for about 10 yrs.
I've studied Theosophy and used to belong to the Theosophica Society (Adyar) & I've studied Anthroposophy as well. Insofar as that goies, it's a good idea to "cross-reference" Theosophy & Anthroposophy to see where they agree & differ also.
At this point in my life, I've had (past tense) seen bands of color only once, near a persons' ribcage, I have been giving prophetic words out to people I DO NOT know and they say "How did you know about me/my situation?"
My response is "I didn't know, I saw a vision in which you were doing such and such and I hear ****** speak to me regarding this vision" or simply "I heard ******* speak to me about you," and have had other experiences.
These experiences are in no way connected to drug use, alcohol, delirium. insanity, imagination or fancy! I merely speak to you, The Reader, about me from my heart.
As I compare Theosophical/Anthroposophical works to my life I must concur with a portion of that corpus of understanding/perception. Certain Esoteric aspects are beyond my experience, personally.
Having said all this I come to the following point:
"Just what IS going on here on Earth & the Universe?"
It seems that Dzogchen/Ch'an/Zen (All "sudden path" Buddhist ways) have a very visceral approach to life, as do Theosophy/Anthroposophy. I find that Advaita Vedanta seems to be "removed" somewhat from the full human experience of life. Taoism is something that is not extremely familiar to me understanding wise, so I'm mute in regards to that.
It also seems that Buddhist, "Hindu", and Jain perspectives on the phaenomenal world are as follows: "You are trapped/deceived in this realm, in a physical body and you must get free, here's how, right now." They seem to leave no room to enjoy creation or the energy patterns/vibratory movement we call "trees, animals, other people, etc."
Esoteric/Occult (I strictly mean Theosophical/Anthroposophical perspectives) say that gradual evolution is the way it is, with, of course, seeking liberation for ALL beings not just one's self.
Buddhism (Dzogchen/Ch'an/Zen) and Advaita Vedanta, however, seem to counter that by saying: "Liberation/Escape is now."
Moreover, Esoteric literature extols the planet earth and it's creatures, the physical universe, and higher dimensions as well, as things to enjoy & understand and not flee from in terror. Liberation IS in the Esoteric framework
What do YOU think?
