Transcending Loss and Disconnection.

How the Tibetan Book of the Dead provides insight for Adoptees.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead is an ancient text that has been used for centuries as a guide for the soul during the process of dying and the afterlife. The text is traditionally read aloud to the dying person and is also used in funeral ceremonies. It teaches about the bardos, which are intermediate states between death and rebirth.

It could be said that Adoptees transition through two(2) full sets of bardos. One before/after/between lives, and one “during THIS lifetime” which is something no other being faces.

The bardos, as described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, can be seen as a metaphor for the adoptee experience. Adoptees may feel that they are in a state of constant transition and change as they navigate the unknown landscape of their adoption. They may feel a sense of disconnection from their birth families and cultures, and may struggle with issues of identity, belonging, and self-worth. The teachings of the text can offer comfort and validation for adoptees as they navigate their own journey of self-discovery and understanding.

"As you calm down, you can experience the Sound of Silence in the mind. You hear it as a kind of high frequency Sound, a ringing Sound that’s always there. It is just normally never noticed. Now when you begin to hear that Sound of Silence, it’s a sign of emptiness -- of silence of the mind. It’s something you can always turn to. As you concentrate on it and turn to it, it can make you quite peaceful and blissful. Meditating on that, you have a way of letting the conditions of the mind cease without suppressing them with another condition. Otherwise you just end up putting one condition over another." (Ajahn Sumedho)

"It is easiest to hear this Sound when it is quiet, particularly at night-time. Once you have identified this Sound, then you place your awareness on it without wavering. Resting your mind in the Sound, you continue to listen, going further and further into the Sound itself." (Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche)

In Divine Love, Light and Sound,

James Bean

[odinsmysteries]

eternement

stumbling into consciousness,

grasping for the light

that slices gnarled, venomous fingers

without mercy,

revealing their knowledge only to those

who apprehend it with affability.

those who do not cling to the light,

but let it bathe their faces in

inescapable wisdom,

swirling, hurtling through the

edges of existence,

sinking and flying in equal measure.

vairocana bows his head, and

inside him, vairocana bows

his head again, and inside them

all, we spin and fly,

ceaselessly.

Breathe. Be Kind. Breathe. Be Brave. Breathe. Fail Forward. ...This above all: to thine own self be true...

Four Years ago today, Jeremy O. Torres (1974-2016) took his last big breath... The following are excerpts from some of Jeremy’s favorite plays he directed: 'Kill Devil Hills', 'Angels in America', 'Pontiac Firebird Variations', 'Tibetan Book of the Dead', 'Marfa Lights', 'Kansas City Book of the Dead', & Shakespeare’s sonnets.

Remember to breathe as you read:

"Look Up. Look Up, Prepare the way, the infinite descent, a breath in air floating down. Glory. We’ll mend together. That’s what we’ll do. We’ll mend. The Great Work begins. The messenger has arrived."

Breathe.

"Things are shifting now...shifting. You wanna fly, jack? Everything that rises must fall."

"Through a tunnel now. Brightly..Or some kind of tunnel...soaring like kites...and in the tunnel dream, I’m able to utter things like angel..and give them meaning."

"Your thoughts are like telegraph signals I can hear and the morse code beep - beeping of every little plaintive electromagnetic spark in your mind, rouses me. And the only thing that’s palpable is the sand - and the wind - and the fire - and us.

Breathe.

"They say its heavy but its not, conscience is light, it gives you wings, gives a man pluck - it separates the beasts of the land - will you ever know love without it ? forget it. know what it means to have someone that needs you and to need them back. the feeling moving beyond your own skin, Weak frame, limitation, a gushing spirit what it is. It roosts in your bosom like a sooth-soul bird and crows in the morning and awakens your heart. It redeems any man that keeps it. And to live right you should trust to yourself to live with it or die for it."

Breathe.

"All along the spokes of that great wheel you have what the Buddhist’s call the ‘Bardo’ which is like a gateway state or a kaw river through which them hungry souls can float their way to true reality. All board. So the dharmakaya is the voice of all sounds, the ra ra ra, true words that calleth em over from the fires and the hunger and the bleeding Kansas darkness. Recite your name. Recite. Recite. [Jeremy Oscar Torres, 2016] All Aboard. Ad Infinitum. Behold your hiding place is open. The Gateway state is open. Osiris is open. All Aboard. Infinite space before you without the clucking or crowing - from the ashes of the phonenix the soul takes wing. Infinite mind is before you without center or circumference. From the drum of the ear the feather is plucked. Infinite sound is before you without the bubbling, without the babbling. From the Heart of Death, the Soul bursts forth. Your soul is open - your ear is wide open."

Breathe.

"The forces of attraction in the air between us - all around us - the gravitation pull yoking us together and then yanking us apart."

Breathe.

"Thou knowest tis common all that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity."

Breathe.

"The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard it seems to me most strange that man should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come."

Breathe.

"Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, so do our minuets hasten to their end."

Breathe.

"My friend, The time has come for you to start out. You are going home. Oh nobly born, now is the moment. Before you is mind, open and wide as space, simple, without center or circumference. Now is the moment. Your mind in this moment is total transparency no color no substance empty sparkling, pure and vibrant. A mass of light. Not stopped by any obstacle. It has neither beginning nor end, go toward the light, merge with it, merge with the light. Death has happened, it happens to every one. Death has happened so nothing can hurt you, you can’t die again, don’t be afraid, merge with the light. Merge. Merge."

Breathe in. Breathe out.

(Assembled with Colt W. Keeney May 2016, from excerpts of works by Tony Kushner, Jean Claude Van Itallie, William Shakespeare, and Casey Wimpee)

#Repost @bizimbahceurla (@get_repost) ・・・ BAŞAK ARPACIOĞLU ile Ezoterizm ve spritüel öğretilere ilgi duyanların kaçırmaması gereken, 6 saatlik çok özel bir seminer : KADİM ÖĞRETİLERİN BEŞİĞİ TİBET’İN ÖLÜLER KİTABI : BARDO THÖDOL Tarih: 7 MAYIS Yer: Bizimbahçe Urla SAAT: 11:00- 17:00 arasında Tibet’in kutsal kitabı olan “Ölüler Kitabı” ölüme hazırlık, ölüm sonrası uyanış ve tekrar doğmasına dek içinde bulunacağı koşulları ve geçireceği bilinç hallerini ayrıntılı bir biçimde açıklar ve ruha ölüm sonrasında geçirebileceği haller konusunda rehberlik yapar. Birçok kişiye alışılmadık bilgiler sunan, yepyeni bir düşünce tarzı ortaya koyan, antik, kadim bir metindir. Bu kadim ezoterik kitap, birbirini izleyen altı özgün yöntemle ruhun özgürlüğe kavuşturuluşunu anlatır. Ölüler Kitabı, yaşamakta olanlar için de önemli ruhsal süreçleri simgeler. Tibet Ölüler Kitabı aslında tamamen bu dünyayla da alakalıdır. İnsanların bu dünyada nefslerini terbiye etmeleri için hazırlanmış çok eski bir kılavuzdur. Ölmeden önce ölebilme gücü ve yetkinliğine sahip olabilecek gerçek insan yaratımı hedeflenmiştir. Kişinin nasıl bir yaşam sürdüğü kadim sistemlerde hayati bir önem arz etmekteydi. Var oluşun sonsuz olduğuna ve gelişmenin bedenin ölümden sonra devam ettiğine inanıldığı için bu dünyada olacak şeylerin ölüm ötesine yansıyacağı düşünülmekteydi. Tibet’in Ölüler Kitabı, yaşarken gelişmeyi, dönüşmeyi ve bilgeleşmeyi önerir. Bireysel gelişim; bireyin varlık olarak kendini anlaması, tanıması ve bilmesi sürecidir. Hayatın anlamını her insan kendi vicdanında aramak zorundadır. İnsanın yaşarken kendisini tanıması, bilmesi, yaratması ve kendine özgü olması demektir. Herkes bize hayatımız için bir rehber vermeye çalışır oysa asıl rehber bizim kendi içimizdedir. Sorularımıza yanıt, dışımızda değil bizdedir. Ulaşmamız gerekli olan Üst benlik de dışımızda değil, gizli/ saklı/ örtülü/ sırlı/ gizemli/ bilinmeyen/ karanlık olan içimizdedir.#tibet #tibetölülerkitabı#tibetanbookofthedead #bilgelik#bilinç#farkındalık#yükseliş#kadimöğretiler#samsara#ezoterizm#ruhbedenzihin#spritüelizm#spirütüelöğretiler https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxLZPyJcf5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bot8gycan0y1
