darkness, oh la la!! |
hi.
pardon me for being oblivious as to how to say this without controversy, but i believe that rama was a dark-path meditation teacher.
before i state futher, however, i must clarify that i do believe that he was a fully and beyond-doubt enlightened being, but he definitely followed the dark-type of enlightenment.
I state this because he allowed energy-clashes and energy-marauding inside and amongst his students...never fully outlining and exerting clear and resolute no-no's. Personal self-destructive tendencies, bipolar hurtful attitude-shifts towards new students, and the inability of saying no to many replicating, destructive tendencies happening in his intermediate and advanced student-population prove that he was NOT a light-type enlightenment follower.
you might even say that not only did he permit these dark-natured behaviors, but he also encouraged them every now and then. just to sharpen the warrior's edge a little more:)
It is in the nature of a dark-type enlightenment teacher to purposefully set up a dark, dangerous ego-trap for his students to fall into, while also preaching against falling into any. So he becomes the enemy and the friend, the poison and the savior. Both at the same time, shifting between trap and teaching with the sublety of unimaginable lucidity, a dark-enlightenment teacher is a very advanced risk-experience...
In contrast, if you may wonder, the nature of a light-type enlightenment teacher is to NOT tolerate ANY outer and inner behavior, both energetically and physically, that can destroy the very purpose of meditation.
Mr. Lenz sponsored dark behavior. He relished in it, at times. He finished his life-cycle with it.
I believe, however (you might find this improbable) that there are very, very, very good reasons for being this way on behalf of our teacher. 1) It just made it harder, and also more rewarding, to the students to experience spirituality with so many subtle (and dangerous) traps/barriers. You learn faster at higher speeds, but the traps MUST adapt accordingly and thus become murderously dangerous in risk. 2)Also, it's a sign of the times...the dark age is the prime reality outside of us, and learning to adapt personal spirituality to the earth's own dark cycle is a very courteous thing to do with earth's karma and all its children. In other words, using darkness to attain spirituality and enlightenment in a dark age is plain common sense at worst and very compassionate at best.
Why compassionate? Well, think about it...IF, and only IF, you emerge on the other side of Mr. Lenz's teachings and methods as a fully enlightened being, then you will be able to help MUCH more because the mayority of incarnated beings in this world ARE enwrapped in the dark, modern tendencies (at different levels and degrees). Having gone though them yourself, and keeping yourself humble through the path, you can emerge as a teacher that connects with these beings much easier than someone that totally rejected outward, dark energies to reach enlightenment. So, in the end, it can be a very compassionate thing to do. More connection, more humility, more compassion.
But what if you don't reach the far end? What if the speed and controversy of behavior/teachings confuse you beyond capability of proper, inner discernment? Well, then, you're fucked. And the risk of using dark behavior as an excuse of being lost is SOOO great, that most students have fallen to it.
The razor's edge is unfathomably edgier in the dark path. The light path has limits, the light path has RULES. We don't...we all distrust each other (as a first reaction) because we were never made to love each other first. No. First, we were made to test each other out, to be wary of others. Why? dark path. Fuck you. (and so on:)
So, I defend the dark path, but I also abhor it...since it is more painful and inhumane than the light path. But it is quicker, and even more compassionate in certain evil ways:)(while in dark ages)...
so...i hope this post feels to you as an innocent expression of my personal experience. i do not hate rama, nor do i rever him. i stood out from his teachings to learn from a very, long distance on my own. I followed his energy, i am devout to enlightenment (in any and in all forms) and i respect my teacher.
but the truth stands out: we are all dark angels of enlightenment. beautiful, persistent, un-understandable, and risking our Innocence in such a dark and dangerous path.
Peace be to all, it's a beautiful year...:)
