The only person here making a big issue over the use of the word Aryan, is you.
This is an interesting find upon which I would like to expand a bit if I may, pointing you to the Vinca script presumably from around 6000 BCE. It is as yet, not proven as a writing system, but is interesting to note that whatever it is it contains several depictions of the symbol "swastika" and strangely enough an encircled "christian cross".

You and I do share some common ground in this matter of these 'old teachings.' I am convinced, as you obviously are, that this 'ancient wisdom,' codified in the Vedas and the resultant deriviate literature of 'Mother India' is a treasure trove of valid knowledge, the correct application of which would greatly benefit the lost and confused masses of people, 'blind from birth,' as it were, who wander without direction in today's darkening world.
The Aryans are history - please 'get over it' ...
Indeed these 51 syllables are said to be the basis of the Sanskrit alphabet, and this is the 'kernel of truth' in what you have said. But Sanskrit is not the the 'only' language of mantras. I can assure you of this.
If anything, I would say that Sanskrit is the language which is 'best suited' for a description of the 'technology' of mind.
Again, misleading and unskillfull. Our experience of 'time' is always 'subjective' whether in our 'dreams' or when we are in a 'waking' state.
This is an unneccessarily confusing description. IMHO, the following is much better -
Brahman projects the phenominal universe. Brahman is the 'light' of the projector which produces an image, unlike the projection on the 2-D screen we are all familiar with as 'movies,' the projection Brahma produces is in 'more than' 2-D.
'Prakriti' is the 'film' in this projector which 'modifies' the 'stainless light' of Brahman to produce these 'images' we all percieve as the 'phenominal universe.'
Brahman is the highest of the highest you can imagine, and still higher. Your words cannot measure the greatness of the supreme being.

If that were the case my criticism would not have 'rattled your cage'.
Clearly you are the one making it into an 'issue.' I mentioned several other points as well, which are just as 'critical' yet you choose to play the 'Aryan card.'

I hate to dishearten you though, these abilities require innumerable life times of spiritual development. You literally must evolve to the point of becoming a demi-god before you can have the true god-like abilities.

Thanks for sharing though ...

How the darn am I going to do that? Would it also work if I can become immortal, hypothetically?
By the way, I have heard of the indigo children (and believe to be one myself). Is that where you got your name?
You said :
Are you familiar with Heidigger?
You said :
The past is now. It cannot be the past, if we know about it today.
In the same way that the color 'blue' differs from the color 'red', and so two distinct conceptions are needed because of this difference, so the 'past' must also differ from the 'present' since these 'two times' are also designated by two different conceptions.
Our recollection of the past occurs in the present.
You said :
I can go back to any time period I want by reading in books, watching documentaries and films.
You said :
Just because the word Aryan has been corrupted by the Nazis, does not mean we cannot reclaim and restore the word. If somebody corrupted your surname, would you change your surname, just because people attach negative connotations to it? You probably wouldn't, and why should you?
You said :
If you mean by Mantra any word which can be repeated ...
Mantra
... a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that are considered capable of "creating [modifications]" ...

You said :
Sanskrit is such an unimaginably advanced language. It outstrips our computer science, linguitics and formal logic by eons. There is absolutely no comparison.
You said :
Is your mind subjective? No actually it isn't.
Ask 100 people, "Which way is up ?" and you may very well get 125 different answers.
Obviously the mind is subjective.
You said :
I never really disputed your main point that waking reality and dream reality are similar.
You said :
Are you familiar with this famous Vedic statement, "The supreme being is one, the sages call him by various names" Brahman is perfect, Brahman is pure bliss, Brahman is pure knowledge, Brahman is pure light, Brahman is the absolute, Brahman is pure spirit.
When we eat it's like Brahman feeding Brahman with Brahman.
You said :
Brahman is the highest of the highest you can imagine, and still higher. Your words cannot measure the greatness of the supreme being.

My apologies, but this is easily refuted on the following basis -
In the same way that the color 'blue' differs from the color 'red', and so two distinct conceptions are needed because of this difference, so the 'past' must also differ from the 'present' since these 'two times' are also designated by two different conceptions.
Perhaps what you intended to say was -
Our recollection of the past occurs in the present.
Not sure, but that would seem to make sense ...
My point is that in today's 'western mind' the term is 'poison,' or indeed as you say, "corrupted."
You can 'follow that thought' anywhere it seems to lead -- let's just stop here and 'not go there,' for the time being ...
Ask 100 people, "Which way is up ?" and you may very well get 125 different answers.
I would tend to agree to a certain extent, however according to the Hindus, Brahman is 'trumped' by Vishnu who 'in turn' is himself 'trumped' by Shiva. Maybe this is a 'sectarian difference of opinion' - I guess it could be ...
