It slipped off my memory that I've a blog! I even forgot the my user name and password. Well, searching my memory banks and a little patience, the door to my blog opened. Reading various comments, made me understand that I've stirred some emotions. Thanks to people who voiced-out their opinions, I really really appreciated you read it and the comments were constructive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I set-up this blog, I experienced a cross-over, so many things were extracted in my sublime consciousness. THEY WERE VOICES, SOUNDS, FIGURES and ELEMENTS OF NATURE. (Please allow me to write freely, without any borders or limitations. You'll be the editor of my thoughts, my borders and limits) The past 4 years became the edge, an equilibrium from the state of bewilderment to the state of peace and calm. I controlled those voices over-reacting to mundane world, share them my present views, my feelings as human and the hurt, pain and over-excitements slowly eased out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A thing of logic is not new to me, I've worked background in business planning and implementation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A thing of supernatural or spiritual was all new to me. I don't ask much for God's blessings. I feel that His blessings are already bestowed in my healthy condition, mentally fit to work and the passion to deliver my best. In times when I experienced a block or everything that surrounds me seemed stopping me to move forward. I feel the hurt and immediate exhaustion. Gradually, evaluating the situation, weigh the consequences and a voice of outcry for help, "Oh, God if this is the way and I've to do it then give me the strength and patience to overcome the obstacles. If not, take my consciousness wherever it is needed". This resulted to endless and no beginning, a meaning without end, patience and more patience. Most often, when I work, there's no prayers to begin with, I do my work so patiently, controlling the anger inside of me to make sure that I won't stop until I succeeded my goal. I'm hard-headed foold and emotions overpowering me most of the times. For me, knowing the way is to take action and realizing the outcome of the actions. Whatever the results are, it gave a new perspective or formula in the previous concept-theory. A short-cut method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my drawing, the depiction of emptiness is represented in the paper. The theme or title which I write in the center or in the header becomes the focal point. The story begins when the sketches, my hand move where the action takes place. If you've seen me draw, you'll realize that I'm placing the balance in my action. I don't draw on one part, finish an area and evaluate how it will look to make it in harmony. Instead, my hand moves automatically, from left to right, top to bottom. From these actions, I just realized that when I draw something on one coordinate it effects the other coordinate and continues to another. It's a domino effect but far from each other. I'll try to exemplify the action, and videoshoot the session so you can understand what I'm saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the processes which I feel embodies my spirit when I draw.&lt;br /&gt;1. EMPTINESS&lt;br /&gt;2. TITLE&lt;br /&gt;3. COORDINATES/POINTS&lt;br /&gt;4. CODES&lt;br /&gt;5. LINES&lt;br /&gt;6. SENTENCES&lt;br /&gt;7. BEWILDERMENT&lt;br /&gt;8. CHAOS&lt;br /&gt;9. CONFUSION&lt;br /&gt;10. PEOPLE POWER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After many hundred drawings, it gave me an understanding of how our actions affect other people even living in so many thousand miles away or in another country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bewilderment or chaos theory in my drawing is the production of people's thoughts which isn't deliberate on my part, it's the intention of some people which I brought out to materialize in action. The confusion part is how may people react to the situation, good or bad. And in the end, it's the democracy that leads to stability and how majority of the people wanting peace and order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I understood the processes, I prayed to the Divine Source of the solutions or how to eliminate the bewilderment, chaos and confusion. He said, you can't stop the action, it's born from free will and justice. But you can stop people to think negatively so they will not suffer the pain. When a person feels pain, the action is out of control, there's a deliberate response from the person. Initiating a plan or instant hit without thought. I realized that we've to control our thoughts, speech and action because it will affect how other people will react to the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I'm forced-in to be silent or forced-out from my silence. I will give an action of my thoughts, speech and action. BE CAUTIOUS! These are the only words which I can say. Words of precaution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks be to God for All His Mighty and His Blessings! Thanks be to God for All the Love! May we hinder ourselves from punishment and suffering because of our free will. May the Light showers upon us and be wised. To think before we act. A pure consciousness is not in the child, the child is fragile or even dangerous in actions, a pure consciousness is in the individual who thinks and weighs the consequences of the action so the child may follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please my brothers and sisters, we are in chaos situation and in threats of lots of confusion. We need many people to think sensibly and create good actions so most of the hurt will drift away. So much pain in this world that it can caused an eradication of humanity. If the time or science theory is applied, anything that begins has an end, anythings that rises will fall. We're on the brink of ending and falling. And only few will left, the chosen who'll start and rise again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-1591781830982410615?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/1591781830982410615/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=1591781830982410615' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/1591781830982410615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/1591781830982410615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2009/02/time-to-blog.html' title='Time to blog!'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-7738943524819623943</id><published>2009-02-15T15:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-15T15:46:46.102-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stand Up, put your lights on!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Like a bewildered child asking for an answer. Why? I can feel that the present structure is crumbling, and everyone is trying to save themselves or trying to put their position up high. Only the few who has wisdom knows that eventually it will happen. And a new growth will emerge, the rise and fall is never a fate but it’s a continuous cycle, irrevocable. Whatever anything that discontinues is never an ending but a new branch will appear if destiny permits, and only God permits everything. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“A great leader is a philosopher but acts rationally… History of God/Armstrong” A philosopher is never destructible but permissible to allow changes and new resolutions; a rationalized thinking is never destructible but permissible to wise solutions (Niki).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God gives courage and encouragement to people to stand-out and say the Truth. The truth is never a lie, it will become evident in life and real lives, it will speak and harness in actions. And only a lie will be dissolute. For whatever reasons, a lie becomes the truth, only those who perfected immorality knows. And those who know the truth in anger set themselves free. They speak from the heart and rejoice triumphantly not in chaos but in deliberate voice of freedom. And only those who are free, knows the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-7738943524819623943?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/7738943524819623943/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=7738943524819623943' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/7738943524819623943'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/7738943524819623943'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2009/02/stand-up-put-your-lights-on.html' title='Stand Up, put your lights on!'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-5679477240229268188</id><published>2007-04-11T17:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-15T17:50:26.823-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mandala of Future</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-5679477240229268188?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/5679477240229268188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=5679477240229268188' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/5679477240229268188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/5679477240229268188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2007/04/mandala-of-future.html' title='Mandala of Future'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-9033299454232977139</id><published>2007-02-03T21:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-04T00:46:40.650-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Baling2 for Health</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/artofsutra/BalingBaling/photo#5027541932665827954"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh3.google.com/image/artofsutra/RcVqwC3tcnI/AAAAAAAAACU/0mMLCC_Wups/s288/C%3A%5CDocuments%20and%20Settings%5CNiki%5CMy%20Documents%5CMy%20Pictures%5CBaling-Baling%20for%20Health%5CBaling-Baling%202.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:66%; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/artofsutra/BalingBaling"&gt;Baling-Baling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/artofsutra/BalingBaling/photo#5027543380069806722"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh4.google.com/image/artofsutra/RcVsES3tcoI/AAAAAAAAACc/Fy88rX2478g/s288/C%3A%5Cdata%5CThe%20Art%20of%20Sutra%5CBaling-Baling.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:66%; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/artofsutra/BalingBaling"&gt;Baling-Baling&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This a sacred mantra formula to woo away flu and different kinds of sickness.

As the Buddhist tradition has it, even during Buddha's lifetime, the idea of making his images persisted in his devotees' minds. The widely quoted legend of king Udayana, commissioning Buddha's image to represent the Great Master during his absence and that of Anathapindaka praying Buddha to allow at least the images of Bodhisattvas, suggest that his followers contemplated the possibility of covering their Master's absence by his anthropomorphic representations even before the Mahaparinirvana.- http://www.exoticindiaart.com/article/lordbuddha&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-5756274028437235926?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/5756274028437235926/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=5756274028437235926' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/5756274028437235926'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/5756274028437235926'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2006/11/images-of-buddha.html' title='Images of Buddha'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-2154436238037663861</id><published>2006-11-20T15:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-20T19:54:30.492-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cross</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/artofsutra/DivineLove/photo#4999627515413528594"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh5.google.com/image/artofsutra/RWI-vHF-ABI/AAAAAAAAABk/jbOhIfTG9Do/s288/C%3A%5Cdata%5CInfinity%5CDesign%203.tif.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:66%; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/artofsutra/DivineLove"&gt;Divine Love&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cross in Balinese Hindu is referred as "tapak dara".

Hidden in ancient languages - the lost Enochian knowledge reveals the mother tongue as a Language of Light. Known to the ancients as HIBURU [sounds like &lt;a href="http://www.crystalinks.com/nibiru.html"&gt;Nibiru&lt;/a&gt; or Hebrew]. It is the primal seed language, introduced at the beginning of this time cycle by the Zep Tepi. Modern research confirms, the most ancient form Hebrew to be a natural language, the alphabetic forms emerging from the phosphene flare patterns of the brain. The same shapes, in fact, born of a spinning vortex. It is a true language of light, coursing through our very nervous system. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Encoding the natural waveform geometries of the physical world, Hiburu is a harmonic language, mimicking the waveform properties of light. The Keys Enoch speaks of, turn out to be sound keys, keys to be vibratory matrix of reality itself, the mythic 'Power of the Word'. The Enochian knowledge describes sonic equations, encoded within the ancient mantras and god names, capable of directly affect the nervous system and producing profound effect of healing and -higher consciousness states. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-SOURCE: &lt;a href="http://www.crystalinks.com"&gt;www.crystalinks.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-3891146333879253050?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/3891146333879253050/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=3891146333879253050' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/3891146333879253050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/3891146333879253050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2006/10/what-i-do-is-what-ive-done.html' title='ANCIENT LANGUAGE SYMBOLS'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-112788658226004490</id><published>2005-09-27T22:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-27T22:49:42.260-07:00</updated><title type='text'>We are One!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/679/633/1600/Cross.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/679/633/320/Cross.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;All religion is about God, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All spirit is about brotherhood and sisterhood,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All spirit’s mission is to serve, save and heal one another!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-112788658226004490?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/112788658226004490/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=112788658226004490' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/112788658226004490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/112788658226004490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2005/09/we-are-one.html' title='We are One!'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-112261563554909041</id><published>2005-07-28T22:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-28T22:42:30.026-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The story of 4 Rings</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/The%204%20Rings.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/The%204%20Rings.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SCIENCE&lt;br /&gt;The work of science deals with reality.

I believe in God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SUPERNATURAL&lt;br /&gt;The "X"  factor, neither religion nor science. It is the impossible, unknown, unexplainable, ancient, mystery and mysticism.

I created all of you and I can destroy you. I am inside and also outside of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who ask, "Is God real?", I give death. Only death can awaken his soul.&lt;br /&gt;For those who believe, I give life. The eternity.&lt;br /&gt;For those who try to find Me, I give Religion.

Parisudha means to cleanse. Thus, trikaya parisudha are the three basic actions that should be cleansed:&lt;br /&gt;1. Manacika, to think right&lt;br /&gt;2. Wacika, to speak right&lt;br /&gt;3. Kayika, to behave right&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the thoughts are controlled to think right, conceivable fruits of actions by words or deeds can be rightly expected. The Trikaya parisudha teaches 10 disciplines as mentioned in the holy book Sarasamuccaya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These disciplines are similar to the 10th commandments .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three kinds of mental discipline:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To desire not of ill-gotten wealth&lt;br /&gt;To think not of evil towards other fellow beings.&lt;br /&gt;To accept as true the karmaphala&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four kinds of speech ethics:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To speak not with resentment&lt;br /&gt;To speak not of unkind words&lt;br /&gt;To speak not of lies&lt;br /&gt;To fulfill promises as have said&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three kinds of basis of moral behaviour:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To torture not or to harm not living creatures.&lt;br /&gt;To cheat not towards obtaining wealth&lt;br /&gt;To commit not adultery &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buddha Teachings: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;recommended path be followed which consists of:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Laypeople generally undertake five precepts. The Five Precepts are not given in the form of commands such as "thou shalt not ...", but rather are promises to oneself: "I will (try) to...".&lt;br /&gt;The five precepts are:&lt;br /&gt;1. To refrain from harming living creatures (killing).&lt;br /&gt;2. To refrain from taking that which is not freely given (stealing).&lt;br /&gt;3. To refrain from &lt;a title="Sexual misconduct" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_misconduct"&gt;sexual misconduct&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;4.

The power and mystics of their religion, Hindu Dharma, govern the people and culture. This belief is based on one of the most ancient and oldest religions in the world, the Hindu and the Buddha. Here in this little peaceful island, the two religions are merged into one, which is commonly referred as Siwa Buddha or the more formal term Hindu Dharma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on historical records, the practices and teachings of Hindu Dharma were influenced by Hinduism from India and Buddhism from China and Tibet. As time goes by, the two separate faiths with its branches are united and merged comfortably into one practice and teaching which you will find today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes the union possible? Where and when in all other areas, lines and separations of Hindu and Buddha faiths are very clear. You might agree that the �X� factor behind the unification is the land of Bali. This land is sacred, the center point of two energies, the Yin and Yang. The Hindu and Buddha faiths believe in these two forces of energy and what is even more powerful is the UNIFYING FORCE that balances the positive and negative energy. And this force is continually maintained by the devotions of the Balinese through their rituals and religious customs to keep the balance of positive and negative energy not only in Bali but the whole world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the 14th century, when Islam propagation was widely spread in Indonesia. The Hindu Kingdom Majapahit in Java was converted to Islam, turning other areas the same fate except Bali. Thanks to Hindu sage, Dang Hyang Nirartha who spiritually fortified the island of Bali by meditating and praying in various energy points from North to South of Bali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mount Agung, the top of Mount Himalaya&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a legend that says, one of the mountains in Himalaya in India was chopped off and carried by Garutman, brought it to East Java, which became Mount Semeru and the top was flown to Bali that became Mount Agung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mount Agung is the seat of all forces in Bali, where the Pura Besakih complex is laid on the slope of the mountain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-112192741724176590?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/112192741724176590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=112192741724176590' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/112192741724176590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/112192741724176590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2005/07/bali-spirit.html' title='Bali, The Spirit'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-112182625559694212</id><published>2005-07-19T19:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-19T21:44:08.546-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are alien beings my ancestor 2?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/Alien%20Skull.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/Alien%20Skull.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's the alien skull I was referring that could be my ancestor.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m a gifted person who can channel automatism in writing and art. I once asked myself a profound question “Who is my first ancestor?”. I grab a paper and pen and wait for my hand to move. As it started to draw, I was startled to see the figure of a woman with tall head, bald on top, curly hair on the side, long face with freckles. Her arms are long and the fingers too. She’s wearing a vest and a costume that looks like in science fiction. She has jelly-like legs. In my surprise to see the finished drawing in half-human form, I didn’t believe it and in dismay I tore my drawing. After several days, when I was browsing the Internet; I came across to some website with articles about a certain artifact dug in Peru. The title of the artifact is, ‘Alien Skull”. In my disbelief, I saw the skull’s tall head very similar to my drawing. And I said to myself, never again will I doubt what has been channeled to me. I asked forgiveness to my Alien ancestor and hope that they will give me more proofs of their existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-112182625559694212?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/112182625559694212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=112182625559694212' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/112182625559694212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/112182625559694212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2005/07/are-alien-beings-my-ancestor-2.html' title='Are alien beings my ancestor 2?'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-112175623565528228</id><published>2005-07-18T23:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-19T21:15:44.216-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Dream Journey</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/12%20Frequency%20Chart.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/12%20Frequency%20Chart.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The 13th Messiah&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another one of my lucid dreams, I' ve experienced a state of meditative consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;Before I sleep, I program myself to activate the 12-chakra or 12-frequency. A simple command yet it works. Once all of it spins, it opens the 13-chakra or the portal at the center that connects us to the other world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's some kind of magnet from there to here and from here to there. So, when I take this journey, it leads me to another grid/program. I became another person or that person became myself. It's like virtual reality experiencing out-of-body but with less feeling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard a voice counting from 1 to 12. When it spoke the word 13, it said "The 13th Messiah". I sensed my right ring finger move and bend down. And I woke up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is this message all about? It speaks of the 13th Messiah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Me and Him is One in another dimension&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It gives me the creep when I remember this dream. I can walk on air. I took a step up, as if there are invisible steps of stair and I was lifted up. I wanted to try if I can walk on water. Since I was far from the ocean or large body of water, the next thing nearer is the washing container full of water. I walked onto it, and find myself above the water. A moment elapsed; my feet submerged and when it touched the bottom, my feet glows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked myself, how did I do that and I answered, "Oh, yeah, me and Him is One in another dimension". I know whose "Him" referred in my dream, he is Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;I translate this dream as forgiveness. I'm a born Catholic and my late grandfather was very innate with Catholicism. He will surely oppose of my converting to Hindu. Fortunately, he passed away before my spiritual path has opened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus washed his disciples feet in the Last Supper. I washed my feet in the container full of water when my feet sunk in the waters. I was cleansed once again, just as he would cleanse his disciples. Because I believe in Him. When I converted to Hindu, I did not lost my faith but another door has been opened for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Me and Him" is One in another dimension, means that in this present life, we have united. Not only by understanding what is Christianity or Catholicism but the spirit it embodies. Walking on air and water means, that once we have reached certain level of spirituality, we experienced the lightness. And when I lost that power, my feet submerged and glows, mean that I'm still bonded and wherever I go I will not be lost because the light guides me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The painting of Black and White &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The painting and my dream. I saw two women, regal like two queens. The other one is black and the other one is white. They merged into one. The head was covered by satin sheet, like almost suffocated. Her hand unveiled her head. In front of the mirror, the figure and me became one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After two days, my gaze picked on the painting above my head. It was divided into two colors, one in black and the other half in white. The white background has web-like designs, while the black background has patterns found in crop circle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-112175623565528228?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/112175623565528228/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=112175623565528228' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/112175623565528228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/112175623565528228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2005/07/dream-journey.html' title='The Dream Journey'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-111501649723113161</id><published>2005-05-01T23:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-05-02T01:08:27.483-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Save the Planet</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/DSCN00442.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/DSCN00442.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;58 cm (w) x 45 cm (l), paper, waterproof ink&lt;br /&gt;Invitation to Bid: Rp. 1.500.000,-&lt;br /&gt;Frame included&lt;br /&gt;Email your bid to: niki_adnyani@yahoo.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-111501649723113161?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/111501649723113161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=111501649723113161' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/111501649723113161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/111501649723113161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2005/05/save-planet.html' title='Save the Planet'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-111406673536384488</id><published>2005-04-20T23:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-20T23:58:55.366-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Book of Life, who, why and where</title><content type='html'>Before I came across with the book Akashic Records, heralding about the information disseminated by the late Edgar Cayce regarding the Hall of Records (to tell you the truth, I haven’t read it since I received it from the post office one-month ago) my spiritual group was already talking about the Book of Life, prior of knowing what is Akashic Records.  We also call it the “Book of Life”.  My friend, Chung introduced the terminology, which he refers as “Buku Kehidupan” or in English, the “Book of Life”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that he used this invisible book when he traces the incarnated life of a person.  One occasion, I saw him giving consultation; he made a movement like opening a book and informed the person about his interpretation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This gives me the inspiration to channel what Chung refers as “Book of Life” into a written manifestation.  It was very striking, because my spiritual sources told me that it requires 3 pieces of bond paper to record the past, present and future.   But if I want to use the larger size, it can do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;What came out of the drawing is a mystery and secret.

I once asked myself a profound question “Who is my first ancestor?”.  I grab a paper and pen and wait for my hand to move.  As it started to draw, I was startled to see the figure of a woman with tall head, bald on top, curly hair on the side, long face with freckles.  Her arms are long and the fingers too.  She’s wearing a vest and a costume that looks like in science fiction.  She has jelly-like legs.  In my surprise to see the finished drawing in half-human form, I didn’t believe it and in dismay I tore my drawing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After several days, when I was browsing the Internet; I came across to some website with articles about a certain artifact dug in Peru.  The title of the artifact is, ‘Alien Skull”.  In my disbelief, I saw the skull’s tall head very similar to my drawing.  And I said to myself, never again will I doubt what has been channeled to me.  I asked forgiveness to my Alien ancestor and hope that they will give me more proofs of their existence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks to Perla for her books.  She sent me books about the late Edgar Cayce, Lemuria and Atlantis, Akashic Records and Channeling your Higher Self.  This gives me firm beliefs that we are evolving spiritually in the same manner no matter where we are.   My experiences are detailed in the books.  Most of the contents I already knew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-111398792832302589?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/111398792832302589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=111398792832302589' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/111398792832302589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/111398792832302589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2005/04/are-alien-beings-my-ancestor.html' title='Are alien beings my ancestor?'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-111398487094906162</id><published>2005-04-20T01:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-20T01:59:20.073-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Spiritual Cleansing by Earth</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/Earth%20bw.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid;

It is believed that chanting invokes celestial spirits, cleanses the aura of the person and spins the chakra. After praying the Panca Sembah (Balinese way of praying), the participants will be requested to chant several mantras repetitiously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hymns and incantations that fill the air bring the mind to total concentration in a very relaxing way. From alpha or beta wave to delta wave, emptying the thoughts and achieving the zero point where the higher self enters the consciousness.

For that reason the human body is attracted to the macrocosmic positive and negative energy (Yin and Yang/Chinese version or Ing and Yang/Hindu Bali version), which is interrelated to the stability of emotional, mental and physical upbringing and growth of an individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The disharmony of the elements may cause blocking of energy flows. When the energy is blocked, the aura (of the person) changes to dark or even grayish in color. This attracts negative energy that makes a person easily exhausted which may results in weakening. The direct influences may be health failure, emotional and mental stresses or even shall we say, “bad luck”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you gain disharmony and harmony of the elements?&lt;br /&gt;The disharmony effects are derived by overdoing yourself or by opposite, not doing anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to revive the healthy condition of the elements, it is suggested to try and understand the spirituality inside, learn to respect the body, seek information that will nurture the spirit and put righteousness in practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-111355009573984051?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/111355009573984051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=111355009573984051' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/111355009573984051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/111355009573984051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2005/04/lets-embark-on-spiritual-journey-to.html' title=''/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-111354588006867521</id><published>2005-04-14T23:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-15T00:30:06.640-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Sea and the Mountain</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/The%20Sea%20&amp;%20Mountain.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/The%20Sea%20%26%20Mountain.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sea and the Mountain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;two places so sacred&lt;br /&gt;gateway of peace and harmony&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The traditions only the spirit knows,&lt;br /&gt;the body just follows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Balinese believe that the mountain is the dwelling of all-benevolent spirit, the ancestors, the deities, and the Supreme Being; where as the sea is the place to cleanse impurities from inappropriate acts. For that reason, the concept of Nyagara-Gunung (Mountain and Sea) is adopted as the best destination for Spirit Journey, the sea being the place to absolve the negative karma and the mountain to bring us closer to the higher source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mountain is also linked to Shiva as the Lingga, manifested as benevolent and masculine energy.  The sea is associated to Yoni or Shakti, where its power is feminine, gentle or passionate.  This shows the Yin and Yang representation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Bali, there are many ancient Shiva sites with lingam and yoni stones.  Most of the big temples in Bali have Shiva lingam and yoni stones inside the large shrines or meru (similar structure like the Pagoda).  Or the stones are displayed on top of edifice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-111354588006867521?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/111354588006867521/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=111354588006867521' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/111354588006867521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/111354588006867521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2005/04/sea-and-mountain.html' title='The Sea and the Mountain'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-111354572433517521</id><published>2005-04-14T23:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-14T23:21:03.936-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Four Cardinal Points</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/Body%20and%20Soul%20Purification%20Package%201.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/Body%20and%20Soul%20Purification%20Package%2011.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Four Elements in relations to the four cardinal directions of North, East, South and West.

It fascinated me and there's some kind of vibration swirling over my head.  I downloaded the symbol and paste it to the wall where I live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember that I have several artdrawings that has similar symbols like those in Kalachakra. Also, I was convinced that the flat form Kalachakra symbol has some connection with the grand structure Buddhist Monument Borobodur in East Java, Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My spiritual meetings with several talented spiritualists in my group, disclosed another one of my incarnated figure. He told me that goddess Guan Yin (Kwan Im) resides in me and the goddess has a twin brother, the Lord Avalokistesvara who is believed to be the spirit material of the Dalai Lamas. He asked me, if I was born before as the Dalai Lama. I said spontaneously, "Yes, I am the Seventh Dalai Lama".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one occasion, I browsed the Internet and was looking for information about the Seventh Dalai Lama. I found out that the Seventh Dalai Lama revived the practice of Kalachakra. I was trying to find some reaction and deliberation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked myself, is it possible that a soul of a Great Teacher can be incarnated outside Tibet? And also, the belief that the 1st Dalai Lama down to 13th Dalai Lama are all incarnated souls of the present 14th Dalai Lama. Is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I am not one who is fond of titles. I am here to reach Moksha, to be one with my Holy Father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-110359936127111955?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/110359936127111955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=110359936127111955' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110359936127111955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110359936127111955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/12/kalachakra-wheel-of-time.html' title='Kalachakra, The Wheel of Time'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-110309037989818503</id><published>2004-12-14T21:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-20T19:26:39.096-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stonehenge</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/image0.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/image0.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-110309037989818503?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/110309037989818503/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=110309037989818503' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110309037989818503'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110309037989818503'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/12/stonehenge.html' title='Stonehenge'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-110257079887090962</id><published>2004-12-08T21:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-11T00:55:25.230-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Aztec Calendar.

Find the one that has the date 1244. It started the year of devastation for the ancient world. They lost in preserving the innocence of life. The air was not breathable. They died and the others leave. There are tribes that were asked to produce children that will be the host of the heavenly spirits. One of them was my grandfather. In my memory, he told me that what was lost will be retrieve. And the first-produced children to its next generation will be better and able to adjust with any grievous conditions in this planet. So, I was one of the descendants in spirit. This body is one of the first-produce child. I was chosen to live and tell the tale only to my grandchildren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For our friends, in spirit you will join me. The time clicks again.

It seems that the First Ancestor’s of the Earth are making an ultimatum to certain people in this planet.  &lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-110249463442713449?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/110249463442713449/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=110249463442713449' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110249463442713449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110249463442713449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/12/decoding-message-from-real-crop-circle.html' title='Decoding the Message from a Real Crop Circle'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-110205680486752109</id><published>2004-12-02T22:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-02T22:53:24.866-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/Untitled-1.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:2px solid #000066; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/Untitled-1.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Star of David.

His cousin is barely 19 years old, from Albuquerque, New Mexico. We were laughing along the process, because I was trying to confirm the datas that I received from my brain based on the drawing that I was doing and it actually matches.   Say for example, I told his cousin to avoid being near with his aunt who seems like a nagger. But prior to that I asked him, if he has this kind of aunt.  And he scanned his memory, reluctantly say that there might be.  And I asked again, if her aunt has short hair.  They instantly laughed because it the character and the short hair matches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Brant has unique hand features (as well as his hair, he has a spot of white hair at the back of his head and his hair color is sandy brown). The magician's hands.   We will have another session to discuss his magician's hands, once he comes back from Jogja next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-110204681678340620?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/110204681678340620/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=110204681678340620' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110204681678340620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110204681678340620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/12/brant-connors-wizards-hands_02.html' title='Brant Connors, the Wizard&apos;s Hand/s '/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-110204503982376189</id><published>2004-12-02T19:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-02T19:53:02.576-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Crop Circle</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/The%20%20Crop%20Circle.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/The%20%20Crop%20Circle.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspired by a website that features this topic.  I asked my grandfather's spirit the phenomena about the Crop Circle.  They said, that it is a sign and also a symbol to stimulate the energy of the earth.  Who did it?  The First Ancestors of the Earth.  They are huge people, white skinned and fair people.  They have a spaceship hidden somewhere in the mountains.  They used this symbol to protect all the earthling originals so that their faces and brain are not  contaminated by virus spreading by the anonymous spaceship.  It seems that this spaceship is contradictive to all advancement that humans are progressing at.   So, the symbol is simplified as protection, and also as a sign that they are here on earth.  They want to have contact with the anonymous spaceship.  From what I gather are also friends from Planet Mars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the key from the human brain that will unlock the Secrets of Secrets.  The fulfillment of Truths.

I pointed to 3 points in my body, as if in pain, I summon "Father, Father forgive me!".  I speak the word Shambala, release the pain.  Release the spirit.

From other ancient text, Pertiwi is Gaia.  In Hindu, she is also called Basundari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, an inspiring mood occurred when I took a glimpse over a name card lying down on my officemate’s table.  The design of the name card calls my attention.  It was the name card of some General Manager of luxurious boutique hotel in Bali.  After peeking at the overall design, challenge runs in my veins and this stimulated me. I grab a paper and a marker pen.  I copied the original outlines of the face and the crown, but I modified the face and the symbol motifs inscribed in her crown. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The symbols in the crown manifested several arche-type of plants and tree spirits.  Also, inscribed are several symbols of earth, wind and fire.  Water is excluded. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My only regret in this drawing is that I cannot correct the shape of her face because I’m using marker pen with solid inks.  Anyway, I’m happy that I can draw not only lines and symbols, which you may refer as abstract drawings.  The complexities are admirable but I wish that I can understand them fully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for better viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-110188398485832283?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/110188398485832283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=110188398485832283' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110188398485832283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110188398485832283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/11/ibu-pertiwi.html' title='Ibu Pertiwi'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-110186708982659435</id><published>2004-11-30T18:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-01T00:21:04.050-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Maha Ganesh</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/Maha%20Ganesh.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000066 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000066 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000066 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/Maha%20Ganesh.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Elephant-Headed God, son of Shiva.  Maha Ganesh is protector of Truth, God of Wisdom and Power.  In several purana (epic) Maha Ganesh is Destroyer of Raksasas (the evil-doing giants).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The model of Maha Ganesh is the official logo of the company I’m working for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STORY&lt;br /&gt;I have a dream, so long time ago but I vividly remember this one because it happens to have lots of elephant.  It’s like in a circus; the elephants come in variety of colors, white, black and pink.  The moment I walked over and passed at the elephants, they took a bow like a sign of respect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I interpret my dream like Maha Ganesh as God of Wisdom will always protect me.  The elephant bows because there is a respect between us.  The God of Wisdom bows to no one except to wisdom, love and purity.  I was nearly in tears because I would really like to draw in real-form and this surging feeling when I finished my drawing so careful not to add lines that will destroy the finishing effects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only praises to Him who provides me with this Gift.  And I would like to share it with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Om, nama Om, nama Om.  Om, Ganesh, nama swaha.  Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

Just joking, I'm size 5. </title><content type='html'>If you happen to know palmistry (psyche or systematic reading via the lines in your hands which foretells the character, the past and future of the person), then I introduce to you the FOOT READING. But I don't know how to call it. May I ask my friend Jean to give me the honor of establishing the watchamacallit, "FOOT READING", the breakthrough in supernatural at ego age of the 21st century?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my foot. Do you know want to know the story behind the drawing? We usually relate the foot with traveling or journey. If our body is the vehicle for the transcendent soul, then the FOOT OR FEET must be the tires.  However, I must say that we should not put lightly what's in our foot or feet because in Hindu, we believed that the right leg down to the right foot has something to do with the paternal relationship and the left leg down to the left foot is related to maternal ancestors. So any sickness and symptoms of illness from those leg parts are automatically related to the spirit of the ancestors, and one must perform the "Guru Piduka" (ritual of visiting the family shrines and ask forgiveness with appropriate "banten" - offerings) to get rid of the illness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But my story is different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My foot holds a thousand journeys that can only be done through astral means. In short, I' m always dreaming, baby.  I'm connected, on-line with the invisible and wireless cable in my head hooked-up to heavenly commands. Do this and don't do this. If not, suffering will come; if you obey you will be given a reward.  This practice becomes a habit and I feel terrorize if I don't obey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nevertheless&lt;/strong&gt;, I obey because I love who created me. Well, my foot foretells a journey to heaven, and if I reach it, you will be the first one to know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/Kaki%20Buddha.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #aaaaaa 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #aaaaaa 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #aaaaaa 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #aaaaaa 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/Kaki%20Buddha.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for bigger pix.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-110127336326399943?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/110127336326399943/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=110127336326399943' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110127336326399943'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110127336326399943'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/11/big-foot-just-joking-im-size-5.html' title='Big foot!

I hardly know the person.  But she responded with ease.  She sent me an outline of her hands, left and right.  The next thing you know, I sent her the finished drawing.  What can I say?  An old soul, lost in her labyrinthe and walls too high that sometimes a person can not touch her nor see her.  Multi-talented and always sensitive.  Fragile, but seemingly strong.  Eloquent.  Jean, you're sometimes there, and sometimes nowhere.  You're like a comet, rotating around the universe.  Always bringing a handful of news from your journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing more and more of the drawing, it spoke to me.  Jean was once a Priest (in her previous life).  A Capuchin Monk, devoted.  Jean was very happy with her vocation, serving the Lord God.  But the influential Archbishops during those times made her see reality that we can not trust our lives even to those in higher ranks.  Believing within, reaching-out.  Her soul reaches the highest note in her head and after that it's blank.  The notes turn to writings.  And writings became an outburst.  Her hand reaches you, but she speaks her own language.  Her love for the Lord became a question.  And the Lord says, "One Day, I will let you see the reasons why, I created good and evil.  Now, learn from it."&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/Jean%20L.%20Hand%20bw.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #aaaaaa 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #aaaaaa 2px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #aaaaaa 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #aaaaaa 2px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/Jean%20L.%20Hand%20bw.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8;"&gt;click 2x for bigger pix.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-110126470178109104?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/110126470178109104/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=110126470178109104' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110126470178109104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/110126470178109104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/11/jean-venguas-left-hand.html' title='Jean Vengua&apos;s Left Hand'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-110085077343242802</id><published>2004-11-18T23:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-23T23:14:16.270-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Fifth Generation</title><content type='html'>What can be deciphered from the symbols in this painting?

The disparities in life is very much felt everywhere. The rich and the poor scenario is disgusting.  Luckily,  this condition is not permanent.  Any able and good president always has to turn over his seat.  Any tyrrant can not live more than 50 years.  Based on this condition, harmony is accepting reality, mix with Utopian visions.  Dream, sleep, eat, work and seek.  Choose a life with deep meaning.  Believe.  Faith.  Trust.  The more you practice what you teach, the wiser you become.  The Buddha's path.  An individual seed can grow many wonders.  Shelter many creatures.  But always expose to the rain and sun.  Harmony, where is the balance in you?  Are you suggesting,  Charity.  Yeah, teach the ways and equality through spirit will emerge.&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/DSCN0049.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="phostImg" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/DSCN0049.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-109998551101255752?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/109998551101255752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=109998551101255752' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/109998551101255752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/109998551101255752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/11/harmony.html' title='Harmony'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-109998508936424240</id><published>2004-11-08T23:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-24T23:01:11.226-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Love</title><content type='html'>The passion that kindled the spirit, the emotions that goes uncontrolled, sexuality exploration.  Is it love? Touching and nurturing?  Yes, it is a sign of love.  Any irresponsible acts are not by love but urge to feel and experience, consummation until there's no fire left.  And they always bounce back, the hurt.  Love is warm not fiery.  Love is not overly but wisely given.  Love is not an individual thing. Love is not sex but union.  Love is not marriage but blessing.  Love is learning to like what you don't like, a compromise.  Every children born needs love.  Every men and women needs love.  This world will be better, if we learn how to love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="phostImg" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-109998508936424240?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/109998508936424240/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=109998508936424240' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/109998508936424240'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/109998508936424240'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/11/love_08.html' title='Love'/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-109957200271688930</id><published>2004-11-04T04:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-04T22:13:42.776-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span &gt;A key to opening of the Chakra.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(click picture twice for a larger viewing)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/1024/Gunung%20Layar.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="phostImg" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/183/2244/400/Gunung%20Layar.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8961562-109957200271688930?l=theartofsutra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/feeds/109957200271688930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8961562&amp;postID=109957200271688930' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/109957200271688930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8961562/posts/default/109957200271688930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theartofsutra.blogspot.com/2004/11/key-to-opening-of-chakra.html' title=''/><author><name>Niki</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961562.post-109957175907505502</id><published>2004-11-04T04:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-04T04:35:59.076-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>The Coming of Christ.
