Instead of rushing ahead to the Rigveda’s third Sukta, I want to spend more time on the ten risha (female rishis) referenced in the second Rik. In my last post, I equated those “shining handmaids” with the Mahedivyas or “great wisdom” goddesses of Hinduism, the Sefirot of Jewish mysticism, the lampstands in the Temple of

Now that we’ve established that the divine force the Vedic rishis call “Agni” actually represents the Transformational Fire of God in our heart-of-hearts (the Inner Altar within the Temple of the Holy Spirit), let’s proceed to the Rigveda’s second Sukta. Long presumed to be a “hymn” extolling the virtues of “Vayu,” the alleged “god of

Over the centuries, the illusion-manifesting Ego Mind (Brahma in Hinduism) has tangled the foundational teachings of the Great Rishis of India into such a snarled hairball of lies, it’s hard to know where to begin the “detangling” process. So, let’s start at the beginning, with the earliest and most sacred of the Hindu shruti (divinely

Before we get started, let me state for the record that in no way do I consider myself an expert on Hinduism — not insofar as the world defines “expertise,” anyways. And, let me also just say that the deeper I wade into the Makara-infested waters of Hinduism’s multi-headed dog-ma, the more I wish I’d stayed

Today, let’s continue our discussion of “The Fundamentals of True Yoga,” by turning to another highly revered text in the Hindu literature: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Although published later than the Gita, The Yoga Sutras were reportedly compiled over many centuries. either by various sages using a common pseudonym (Patanjali) or by an Avatar

It’s finally time to talk about Yoga. And by Yoga, I mean True Yoga, the eight-limbed spiritual discipline through which we yoke our minds to the sound of God’s Voice, “the Reminder” we spoke of last time. So, put away your mats, blocks, straps, and any other “props” you’ve been deceived into buying, because Yoga

Today, I want to clarify that the Word of God is not a printed text. As we learn in ACIM Workbook Lesson 125: In quiet I receive God’s Word today, the Word of God is the vibratory sound emanating from the Logos to remind us of the Truths we’ve forgotten in the dream of earthly

Today, we’re going to explore and compare the seven “heavens,” “realms,” or “worlds” found in the scriptural texts of Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam. Are these seven “realms” the same seven ‘churches” or “assemblies” addressed by the Great Amen in the New Testament Book of Revelation? Let’s find out, shall we? Today’s post is rather long,

The seven churches referenced several times in the New Testament Book of Revelation are NOT literal churches existing in Asia Minor at the time that John the Elder (not John, the Apostle!) recorded his William S. Burroughs-esque visions of the “end of days.” Biblical scholars and historians have racked their brains for centuries trying to

Yesterday, while meditating on the Om, it came to me that the Bible says something about King Solomon having had many wives. And that made me wonder if those wives might represent the seven sacred rivers we discussed last time. So, I looked up the verse in question (1 Kings 11:3), wherein I found the
