Any smart Third World immigrant can identify with a federal-level "American culture" (even a White-coded one), since it´s so broad, inorganic, modern and ideological. A strong sense of place could overcome this.

through hard-to-understand scholarly essays on the ins and outs of esoteric
Buddhist astrology continues. This time with a 2022 article in the journal
“Religions”, written by Jeffrey Kotyk. The title of the piece is “Astronomy and
Calendrical Science in Early Mikkyo in Japan: Challenges and Adaptations”.
Mikkyo is the Japanese term for esoteric or Tantric Buddhism, here also called
Mantrayana. The time period in question is the Early Middle Ages (by our
quasi-calendrical reckoning). <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Buddhism
originated in India and astrology was part of its canonical lore. For instance,
monastic meetings were to be scheduled on astrologically auspicious days. In
China, this system was “translated” according to Chinese astrology, but many
other aspects of the Indian system were never implemented. They were treated as
canonical lore, but with no practical application. The planets were not
believed to impede enlightenment or have any influence on the bodhisattva path.
This changed when Mantrayana was introduced in China and Japan. Suddenly, a
detailed knowledge of astrology became absolutely necessary. The goal of
Mantrayana was to reach bodhisattvahood in the present lifetime, and for this
to take place, various complex esoteric rituals had to be carried out according
to Indian calendric calculations. Even in China, information on Indian
astronomy and astrology was difficult to come by, and in Japan it was almost
impossible. Yet, a knowledge of astrology was absolutely central to the Tantric
path. Mandalas had to be created at exactly the right dates. The mandala was
itself astrological in character, with the planets, zodiacal signs and lunar
mansions aiding the process to reach “bodhi”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">As already
mentioned, the article is quite hard to follow, but my understanding is that –
strictly speaking – the Mikkyo practitioners *didn´t* find a satisfactory solution
to their problems. They simply devised a new “abstract” system not based on
astronomical observations and calculations to find the “right” dates for their
rituals. The main Chinese sources used by the Japanese were moreover very
eclectic and hence already some steps removed from the “Vedic” original. Mikkyo
Astrology did use a seven-day week (the Shingon founder Kukai is credited with
introducing it to Japan), but that was the only “Indian” trait used. It was not
really used for advanced time-keeping, but to place religious festivals on
auspicious days. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">That being
said, the Chinese and Japanese sources are nevertheless very interesting. Some
illustrations in them seem to show jinn, when Indian sources show Hindu gods
instead. (In other works, the author has argued that Chinese astrologers had
access to Iranian sources independent of the Indian ones, containing Hellenistic
star lore.) Also, there is no understanding of what star constellations the
signs of the zodiac refer to. Somewhat ironically, the icons illustrating the zodiacal
signs are fairly “correct”. For instance, one of the icons is a satyr-like
bowman, obviously a reference to Sagittarius. In Indian astrology, exact astronomical
knowledge of the zodiac and its signs was a necessary part of casting
horoscopes, but in Mikkyo, this knowledge was lost. It wasn´t until a few centuries
later, with the introduction of Sukuyodo (a more “regular” form of astrology),
that this was remedied, but that´s another story. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Not sure
who is even interested in stuff like this outside my little zodiac on the web,
but I suppose it does raise one question for true believers in Tantrism: did
any Shingon or Tendai practitioner ever become a bodhisattva during this lifetime,
if this requires a detailed knowledge of Indian astrology and even astronomy? And
why on earth (pun intended) would that be necessary for a true spiritual
super-man in the first place? <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

myself by trying to decode a very heavy scholarly essay by Jeffrey Kotyk, with
the appealing title “Japanese Buddhist Astrology and Astral Magic: Mikkyo and
Sukuyodo”, published in the “Japanese Journal of Religious Studies” and copyrighted
in 2018. I admit that I hardly got half of it, but it was still a fascinating
read, after a fashion. My man Kotyk might be on to something! Perhaps he has a
good horoscope? <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Apparently,
contemporary Japanese astrology is called sukuyo and is attributed to Kukai,
the medieval founder of the esoteric Buddhist sect known as Shingon. However,
this form of astrology is evidently fully modern and has very little to do with
“real” Japanese astrology from the actual Middle Ages (to use European terminology).
Kotyk argues that there were two distinct forms of astrology during the period
in question. He calls them Mikkyo Astrology and Sukuyodo. The former is part
and parcel of esoteric Buddhist practice, while the latter could be regarded as
“standard” astrology, including natal horoscopes, predictions of wealth and
success for prominent individuals, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Mikkyo
Astrology, as should be evident by its name (Mikkyo being the Japanese word for
Vajrayana or esoteric Tantric Buddhism), was introduced to Japan from China by
Shingon and Tendai monks, including the aforementioned Kukai. The two prominent
Tendai monks Ennin and Enchin were two other transmitters. Mikkyo Astrology is based
on highly complex Chinese manuals which in turn go back to Indian sources. It
was necessary to correctly time various esoteric rituals. Of course, “Vedic” astrology
in its turn is heavily influenced by Greek astrology. Mikkyo Astrology also
includes astral magic, including worship of planetary deities, to ward off
disasters forecasted in the horoscopes. Kotyk therefore regards this form of
astrology as non-fatalistic. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">While the system is Indian in origin, the author
has also identified Iranian elements in the Chinese sources. These in turn can be
traced further back, to Greek or Egyptian sources. The icon of Saturn used in
these texts is “Iranian-Mesopotamian” rather than Indian. During the later Tang
period in China, the cult of Saturn (seen as a malefic planet to be appeased)
became prominent among both Buddhists and Taoists. The main feature of the
astral magic, however, is presumably Indian in origin: the cult of a bodhisattva
referred to by modern scholars as Tejaprabha (a name unattested in any Sanskrit
source). This powerful figure was worshipped when heavenly anomalies disturbed the
peaceful skies, such as comets appearing in the “lunar mansion” associated with
the incumbent ruler. To complicate the criss-crossing lines of cultural influence
even further, Mikkyo Astrology in Japan also interacted with Onmyodo, a school
of divination indebted to Taoism. Its practitioners worshipped the Big Dipper
as yet another example of astral magic. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Sukuyodo
seems to have been originally connected somehow to Onmyodo, but later became an
independent lineage or school (or actually several). It had strong support in
the medieval Japanese aristocracy. What makes Sukuyodo interesting to the
author is that it must be derived from Chinese sources dependent not on any
Indian source, but on Iranian sources the contents of which goes back to the Hellenistic
astrologer Dorotheus. The lore itself can be traced even further back, to Alexandria
or even Babylonia. One intriguing fact is that Sukuyodo used the tropical zodiac
(also used in ancient Greek and modern Western astrology) while “Vedic” astrology
uses the sidereal zodiac. The positions of the star signs are somewhat
different in the two versions. Even Indian traits in Sukuyodo, such as the use
of the imaginary planets Rahu and Ketu (actually the lunar nodes) in horoscopes
could come from Iranian sources, since these had evidently taken up the
practice. What makes all this important is that it could point to a previously
unknown path of cultural diffusion from the Near East to China and Japan
(without passing India). The author wonders aloud whether music or medicine
could have followed this path of transmission, too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">What he doesn´t
mention is the profoundly humbling effect all of this should have on Chinese
and Japanese nationalists. Much of their “unique” cultures really come from “barbarians”,

Our favorite kook Gnowly claims that something *yuge* will happen on April 8 in the United States, probably Texas. Something so enormous and unexpected that it might change the course of history...forever. A black swan to end all black swans.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Not sure why, but it has something to do with Vedic astrology. Something about the astrological "new year" falling on the same date, indeed the same second (sic), as the upcoming solar eclipse. Add to that Mercury retrograde and shit just got real. Mercury is apparently moving into a position known as "Drowning" that will make everyone´s consciousness collapse?!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">However, if you live in India or Sri Lanka, the effects will be minor. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">As I said: this can be empirically confirmed or disconfirmed.

I was struck by how unoriginal they were. Yes, it´s essentially the same kind of cryptids as reported from North America or Western Europe: hairy humanoids, lake monsters, sea serpents and extinct charismatic mega-fauna still supposedly lurking somewhere in the far corners of Siberia. In this case the Steller´s sea cow, the wolly mammoth, and the giant short-faced bear (never heard of that one). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">There are two possible explanations for this curious fact. One is that the cryptids are actually real. After all, why *would* people behind the Iron Curtain see exactly the same kind of unknown animals as in the rest of the world? Another possibility is that Soviet cryptozoology was influenced by its Western counterpart. That´s not as far-fetched as it sounds, since one prominent Soviet cryptozoologist, Boris Porshnev, was a friend of Bernard Heuvelmans! (A book by Porshnev has been translated to English: "The Soviet Sasquatch") The same transformation of older folklore into "unknown real animals" - typical of much Western cryptozoology - may have transpired in the modernizing Soviet Union, too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Misidentification is another factor. The Mongolian Death Worm (which was searched for by Soviet scientists) is often depicted as the monstrous Shai-Hulud from Frank Herbert´s science fiction novel "Dune". In reality, the Death Worm is only said to be about one and a half meters long. And it took me about five minutes to find *exactly such a creature* living in Mongolia: the desert sand boa. Case closed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The Soviet Union was one of the few nations (if that´s the word for it) that launched several scientific expeditions in search of cryptids, both on its own territory and in Mongolia. Soviet scientists also participated in Chinese expeditions to find the Yeti. The fact that these official projects had as little luck as lay cryptid hunters in the US or Scotland is perhaps suggestive. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The creatures don´t exist. Or maybe they do exist, but since they are ghostly in nature, Communists feared reporting what they had *really* found...</span></p>Tidlösa http://www.blogger.com/profile/17612443854055594590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305624375162138302.post-87400789248124586622024-03-25T17:56:00.002+01:002024-03-25T17:56:40.383+01:00WAFFLE DAY <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIG3.hqKCWuFJS9dysuj6EMQW?w=1024&h=1024&rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="456" src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIG3.hqKCWuFJS9dysuj6EMQW?w=1024&h=1024&rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain" width="456" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Today is "Waffle Day" in Sweden.

I *have* seen David Lynch´s cult film and the first of the two more recent "Dune" flicks, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Not even sure what the story is supposed to be about, or why I should give a damn. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">That being said...yes, I noticed both the pseudo-Muslim angle, and the equally fake Russian one.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The video above contains a description of the religions of the "Dune" fictional in-story universe. The religion of the Fremen is obviously based on Islam (perhaps even Sufism) - even the terminology is sometimes identical - while also having some "pagan" traits. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I wasn´t aware of the strong religious syncretism in Herbert´s novels. For instance, the official religion of the Galactic Empire is based on something called "the Orange Catholic Bible". The video above never points out that this name presumably refers to the anti-Catholic Orange Order on Northern Ireland, here syncretized with Catholicism! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The YouTube clip also discusses the Bene Gesserit, a scheming secret order in Herbert´s story. Was their religion inspired by Hindu yoga, including the chakra system?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">An interesting thought never explored further is that Herbert was inspired by al-Muqaddimah, Ibn Khaldun´s famous book on the philosophy of history. The Muqaddimah is the introduction to the Kitab al-Ibar by the same author. That is, in the real universe. In "Dune", the holy scripture of the Fremen is called (you guessed it) Kitab al-Ibar...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">And how can this be? ;-) </span></p>Tidlösa http://www.blogger.com/profile/17612443854055594590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305624375162138302.post-1326095843956411662024-03-24T20:28:00.001+01:002024-03-25T05:54:22.511+01:00Clear seeing <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iJqjqtFocJg" width="320" youtube-src-id="iJqjqtFocJg"></iframe></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I´m skeptical to this kind of spirituality for various reasons, but this is nevertheless an interesting one-hour lecture (or "satsang") featuring Christopher Wallis, a scholar-practitioner of Kashmir Shaivism or Non-Dual Shaiva Tantra in its Abhinavagupta iteration. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Liberation or knowledge comes through "clear seeing", a direct apprehension of Reality as it actually is, unmediated by thinking / thoughts or concepts. No dogma or complex theology can take you there. Neither can "experiences" in the usual sense of the term, not even spiritual experiences. They mean exactly NOTHING.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Tantric sadhana, including visualization and "deity yoga", are intended to refine your understanding so that clear seeing becomes possible. They play no other role. Indeed, these preliminaries may vary from person to person anyhow, depending on his/her personality type. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Wallis reveals that he himself was once stuck in his spiritual evolution (pardon the non-nondual phrasing), since his vast knowledge of the dogma and history of Tantrism (including the Sanskrit language) made him both proud and convinced that he was in some sense enlightened. None other than Adyashanti pointed out the truth to him. Wallis then decided to empty himself and become open for transmission...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">For those who are interested.

Or rather in the list the content-creator is commenting, a list of the ten most likely cryptids to be discovered during the 21st century. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The list sounds like wish-fulfillment. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">From the top of my head (which is considerable - both the top and the head), the thylacine, the giant eel and the giant octopus seem to be the three most likely candidates. Since the other cryptids might not exist at all, their discovery - this century or the next - is *highly* unlikely...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Here´s a more certain prediction: there will still be enthusiasts in 2100 hunting the Gugu, the Megalenia or whatever cryptids will be on the top ten!</span></p>Tidlösa http://www.blogger.com/profile/17612443854055594590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305624375162138302.post-25770472899643000332024-03-24T17:42:00.003+01:002024-03-24T21:36:38.896+01:00Foreknowledge <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIG3.UB6fs_M5HfE1PwBKaVNe?pid=ImgGn" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="466" src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIG3.UB6fs_M5HfE1PwBKaVNe?pid=ImgGn" width="466" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Concerning the brutal terrorist attack in Moscow: sometimes the provocation is more transparent than usual. I think it´s obvious that the Putin administration had foreknowledge of the attack. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">If they ordered it, infiltrated the Islamic State to carry it out, or just waited and did nothing to stop a "real" IS operation, remains to be seen.
