Commentary on "A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" - Khunu Lama Rinpoche
32-35. The best way to keep our three doors pure is to generate aspirational bodhicitta, engage in the practice of bodhicitta and follow the path to enlightenment. This depends on observing the three levels of moral conduct—the pratimoksha, bodhisattva and tantric vows. If we do this properly, we can complete the two collections of merit and transcendent wisdom.
One thing that really helps us complete these two collections is the ability to foresee the future; therefore, we should try to acquire clairvoyance. Without it, we are like a baby bird whose wings are undeveloped and has not yet grown feathers and remains stuck in its nest, unable to fly. Without clairvoyance, we cannot work for other sentient beings.
36-37. The person who has achieved the psychic power to foresee the future can create more merit in a day than a person without this ability can create in a hundred years. Therefore, to complete the collections of merit and transcendent wisdom quickly, it is necessary to acquire the psychic power to see past, present and future.
38. In order to do this, it is necessary to achieve single-pointed concentration [Skt: samadhi; Tib: ting-nge-dzin]. For this, we must understand the details of the method of attaining samadhi, such as the nine stages, the six powers and the four mental engagements.5
39. In order to practice samadhi meditation properly, we must ensure that the conditions are perfect. If they are not, then even though we try practicing it hard for even a thousand years, we’ll never achieve it. Therefore, we should find a perfect environment, remain quiet and avoid having to do work such as healing the ill and making astrological predictions—any activity that keeps us busy.

...Absorb yourself intently in the experience of desire,
For without it the mysteries have no meaning;
Desire as pure pleasure is the goal fulfilled.
Preserve constant cognition of the primal purity of experience;
Protect the samaya like your body and life,
For if it is broken there is no authority to restore it.
The foregoing is advice upon meditation practice....

I've never stated such an erroneous thing. [stimulating yourself sexually and not coming to a climax is neccesary to overcome sexual desire, and will "liberate" you from material enslavement]
Where are you getting that?
Did you even read any of my posts?
-Tamahu
And this "All Loving True God" that exists in your mind(as opposed to the actual All Loving True God) allowed this "rebellion" or "evil Architect" to happen in the first place?

I should have been more clear , and said "liberation" from suffering.

Derek,
What is your opinion as to why the good God allows the evil God to continue to be evil? Just curious to read what you think.

"The Gnostic who has been saved from the Waters has closed the cycle of infinite bitterness, has passed the limit that separates the ineffable realm of the Pleroma from the ineffable regions of the universe, he has bravely escaped the empire of the Demiurge because of having reduced the ego to cosmic dust." - Samael Aun Weor
What is your opinion as to why the good God allows the evil God to continue to be evil?
what does Satan really want?

I've never said that sexually stimulating oneself with, or without orgasm could liberate anyone from anything.
Now, Sex between Husband and Wife without the reaching of orgasm, could liberate one from conflicting mind-states...
-Tamahu
The only... practice that would resemble "masturbation" to the non-Initiate would be the Vajroli Mudra...
...So if we are expelling the semen, we are actually expelling from ourselves that energy which is the fuel for Awakening; the Awakening that we need in order to end suffering, to end suffering for ourselves and for others.
Therefore, it is necessary for there to exist tremendous Will-Power during the Vajroli Mudra, so that no lustful thought will cross the minds of the students; we must control the senses, we must subdue the mind.

The True God loved it's creation so much that it poured intense love energy into the evil error hoping to "convert," it back to goodness. It was painfully realized that it was immutably evil and must be destroyed permanently.

I had attempted to answer this question in my previous posts:
"In the True Creation there is no evil of any kind, though it may be hard to comprehend living in this material world in the present. Every being is growing, evolving, and experimenting. One of the experiments in this universe went awry and the being known as the "grand architecht," took control of the universe and sealed it off from the rest of the Divine creation, entrapping many of it's inhabitants."
"The True God loved it's creation so much that it poured intense love energy into the evil error hoping to "convert," it back to goodness. It was painfully realized that it was immutably evil and must be destroyed permanently."
why give up hope that Good cannot convert evil back into good again?
-sweft
If God were, as you say under the impression that evil must be "destroyed permanentky", then who would take up this evil task and be the destroyer of evil?
-sweft
So why did the Highest God allow one of the experiments in this universe to go awry in the first place?
-Tamahu
Why doesn't the Highest God just end evil altogether right this very second?
Instead of allowing for evil to continue at all?
If the Grand Architect actually is evil, then the Highest God(if S/He be All Good), should be capable of ending the Grand Architect's reign right now, without even a second's delay?
-Tamahu

The correction plan is in it's final stages and i guarentee you that this planet will not be inhabited in 100 years. I wouldn't be surprised if humanity is destroyed within 20 years or less. This is all for the better, and humanity must realize why it has doomed itself in its own evil. All beings must realize why they are viable to exist in the True God's realm or not.
Also, time in the purer realms is much different. In the purer realms, 1000 earth years is a very short amount of time, and in the purest, it is but a blink of an eye.
As for the 'grand architecht,' being evil, i believe it is apparent and obvious that any being who would create suffering, death, decay, and disease is evil.
Any being who would allow and cultivate rape, torture, pedophilia, slavery, predatory behavior, exploitation, and any type of evil is indeed an evil being himself.
And as far as 'allowing'... I ask you again, should a parent protect a child from every harm that might befall him or her?

As you said yourself... you are welcome to your opinion, of course, but that does NOT make it [the 'grand architecht,' is evil, it is apparent and obvious that any being who would create suffering, death, decay, and disease is evil] true, and does NOT make us (monotheists or masons) Satanists.

Seriously, this belongs in another forum.

Freemasons, as well as all monotheists, whether inadvertantly or not, worship Satan. It is clear to me that the creator of the physical universe is evil. By acknowledging that we are forced to die, decay, and suffer no matter what, the nature of the "god," and of this material universe becomes more clear.
Why would a loving god create the food chain, where animals are forced to kill eachother to survive? Look at all the rampant exploitation and injustice which is common place and seemingly normal. Why would a loving god create physical matter that decays inherintly and forces unavoidable suffering and death? Why would a loving god create evil beings to exploit the innocent? It is because the "god," of this world is clearly evil. The "god," of the physical universe is NOT the True God of unconditional Love and Goodness.

"The Kundalini awakens negatively only when the Semen is spilled. Whosoever practises Sexual Magic without spilling the semen has nothing to fear."
That is primarily the job of the rescuers of the Light, who serve the most noble and highest cause, to love and defend Purity and Goodness against the cancerous, corrupting, disgusting parasite of evil. It is one's intentions that determines the essence of one's actions.
