Tears of Avalokiteshvara
- symphonic poem

For extremely important reasons, since 2007 in particular I distanced myself from the teachings of Buddhism and indeed ALL teachings of ALL religions and ALL spiritual traditions, and I explain why in Exit Spirituality — Enter Clear-Mindedness on my Clarity of Being site.

Although the above story certainly has a sort of beauty about it, it's highly problematical because it reinforces the notion that making a vow is somehow a good or virtuous thing to do. In the relevant section in Affirmations & declarations of intent for healing & self-actualization I explain how vows ALWAYS reflect garbage involvement — yes, in all religions and spiritual traditions as well as in any other situations — and thus are something that we need even less than we need a hole in the head!

Also, the story underlines the very widely held and harmful notion that it's somehow virtuous, good and beneficial to devote yourself to helping others while not attending to your own needs.

Throughout the world 'healers' and other people with the kindest of intentions do themselves and others a huge amount of harm through falling into that trap and trying to help others rather than themselves. As I explain on my Clarity of Being site, to be effective in helping others, first you need to attend to yourself.

If you go trying to help people, what you're really doing is feeding their own feelings and attitudes of powerlessness and self disempowerment. What they actually need is people who are fully attending to their own self-actualization process to act as catalysts and inspirers for self-healing and self-actualization — not 'helpers'!

It's important to read the following notes in this light, in that they are incorrectly assuming that the picture was of something occurring that was truly wonderful and beyond ordinary human experience. As I re-read the notes at this time, after all the tremendous ordeals that the garbage took me through particularly in late 2003 to early 2007, I can see how the whole story underlying this work has come to us from the garbage as part of its pervasive agenda to keep us lured away from simple and direct self-actualization.

Compassion, for example — much exalted in Tibetan Buddhism — is an outlook and feeling that is distorted with underlying painful emotion that is being manipulated by the garbage. It is thus NOT a positive thing in that form. A truly enlightened and self-actualized person doesn't experience 'compassion' (which is a religious thing, linked to an underlying agenda of obligation and 'virtuousness', and is all garbage-sourced) but empathy and loving, aware positive intent.

On the basis of the story about Avalokiteshvara, I'd say that he still had a lot of self-actualization work to do for himself in order to achieve true clarity and freedom from 'dark' influences. The need would have been for him to become enlightened (I think that full 'self-realization' is meant there) as soon as possible, so he could then be greatly more effective in helping others, in whatever form would be genuinely helpful to them. So much for Tibetan Buddhism supposedly bringing us the pinnacle of enlightenment and self-actualization!

In any case, as I explain in The true nature of 'the forces of darkness' and its interference and attacks, to my current understanding, all these supposed 'Great Buddhas and Bodhisattvas' beyond the physical 'here and now' are actually completely bogus, and are simulations given to people by the garbage just in the same way that angels, archangels, ascended masters, gods, goddesses and guides (and indeed God) are all likewise. It's through such means of impersonation and deception that the garbage unremittingly seeks to lure and divert people away from true self-actualization.

There's also a problem about the words that I gave the choir, in that all references to ‘light’ or ‘Light’ are perpetuating an old and extremely harmful misunderstanding that has come to us from the garbage via all manner of religions and ‘spiritual’ and mystical traditions – that our true nature and that of any higher presence or ‘reality’ is ‘light’ or ‘Light’. In reality (sic), they are clarity and naked awareness, NOT ‘Light’.

* In the religions and even Buddhism, notions of what hell is are a distortion of the actual situation. In Night terrors and hell experiences — Understanding and clearing them I explain what hells really are. The religions have all got it distorted, because their supposed knowledge is based on channellings (which all come from the garbage with an agenda to mislead) and on beliefs, which latter are themselves all ultimately sourced, again, from channelling and thus from the garbage.
