TRUE POWER


The Power of Thoughts
By Remez Sasson
One day, a yogi and his disciple arrived to the big city. They had no money with them, but they needed food and a place to stay. The disciple was sure that they were going to beg for their food, and sleep in the park at night.
"There is a big park not far from here. We can sleep there at night", said the disciple. "In the open air?" Asked the yogi."Yes", responded the student.
The yogi smiled and said: "No, tonight we are going to sleep in a hotel and eat there too".
The student was amazed. "How?"
"Come and sit down", said the yogi.
They both sat down on the ground and the yogi said:"When you focus your mind intently on any subject, it comes to pass."
The yogi closed his eyes and started to meditate with full concentration. After about ten minutes he got up and started to walk, with his disciple following him. They walked through several streets and alleys, until they arrived to a hotel.
"Come, let's enter inside", the yogi said to his disciple.
They just set foot in the entrance, when a well-dressed man approached them.
"I am the manager of this hotel. You look like traveling swamis and I believe you have no money. Would you like to work in the kitchen, and in return I'll give you food and a place to stay?"
"Fine", responded the yogi.
The disciple was perplexed and asked the yogi: "Did you use any magic? How did you do that?"
The yogi smiled and said, "I wanted to show you how the power of thoughts works. When you think with full and strong concentration about something that you want to happen, and your mind does not resist the subject of your thought, your thought materializes."
"The secret is concentrating, visualizing, seeing details, having faith and projecting mental and emotional energy into the mental scene. These are the general prerequisites. When your mind is empty from thoughts, and only one single thought is allowed to enter, it gains a very great power. One should be very careful with what he thinks. A concentrated thought is powerful, and exerts a very strong influence."
The disciple looked at his teacher and said: "I see that I have to sharpen my concentration in order to be able to use this power."
"Yes, this is the first step", responded the yogi.

SYMBOLS: THE HEXAGRAM




THE HEXAGRAM

KING SOLOMON'S SEAL
The legend of King Solomon's Seal, of the wondrous signet ring which he received from heaven, is common to Judaism, to Christianity and to Islam. King Solomon's Seal, whose base is on the ground and whose tip reaches heaven, symbolizes a harmony of opposites, whose significance is manifold as much as it is multi-cultural. It reflects the cosmic order, the skies, the movement of the stars in their spheres, and the perpetual flow between heaven and earth, between the elements of air and fire. The Seal, therefore, symbolizes super-human wisdom and rule by divine grace.
On the walls around Jerusalem are stone decorations in the form of two interlocking triangles Stars of David, known to Moslems as Khatam Suleiman and to Jews as Khatam Shlomo (King Solomon's Seal) whose function was to protect the city. The symbol of the hexagram, the star-like figure formed by two triangles, has many connotations, especially when it is enclosed by a circle; super-natural powers have been attributed to it in many parts of the world since ancient times.
Beyond the Jewish national associations which have only become attached to it in the last few hundred years, the abstract element of the figure (which is connected to the celestial stars) and its geometrical completeness make it a universal symbol. Together with the five-pointed star (the pentagram, which is of much earlier origin) the hexagram represents the development of mathematics and geometry by the Greeks and their successors around the Mediterranean.

Through geometry, in which the Pythagoreans and their followers saw cosmic symbolism, the hexagram and the pentagram became an expression of heaven and its reflection on earth, the divine and its reflection in creation and of the connection between heaven and earth, between the macrocosm and the microcosm, and between spirit and matter.


THE STAR TETRAHEDRON

The Star Tetrahedron, the 3-dimensional version of a 2-dimensional six-pointed star, is found around living organisms in the form of a subtle electromagnetic field. Although this is not something that conventional science accepts yet, it will be the case in future once they are able to detect and measure this field. (Recently, science has made some progress by for the first time detecting the Star Tetrahedron field around a planet.)

The knowledge of this geometry relating to life has been with us for longer than could be imagined by some people, as it has always been kept from the public. For example, more recently, people such as Leonardo da Vinci had knowledge (as passed on to him by his mentor) of the relationship between geometry and the human form. [A template for the six-pointed star can be found in his drawings, i.e. Leonardo's famous Proportions of the Human Body]
This is also an example of a geometric shape containing the golden ratio: The average of two ratios found in this form is equal to PHI.

JOY!


JOY IS FOUND IN THE ULTIMATE STATE OF SURRENDER TO SILENCE, THE SILENCE WHICH ISN'T QUIET AT ALL, THE SILENCE FROM WHICH ALL PERCEPTIONS AND REALITY ARISES. IT IS FREE OF CLINGING TO A SELF WHO EXPERIENCES THIS STATE. pk(AKA THE UNIVERSE SPEAKING THROUGH MY MIND)

THE UNIVERSE IS ETERNAL...OR IS IT?
