"The same intelligence that grows trees from seeds, that lets birds fly, that waves the ocean and gives birth to new stars – that same Intelligence also breathes your breath, beats your heart, and heals your wounds." - Annie Kagan (As excerpted from the book: 'The Afterlife of Billy Fingers')

They can’t really affect you deep down.

Black magic this evil eye that. Has nothing to do with you. You are sovereign. It’s your choice. Your body. Your heart space.

White magic is actually just sending love to the other plus yourself. Nothing else can actually affect you.

"The intelligent person will go inwar... first. Before going anywhere else, you will go into your own being. That is the first thing, and it should have the first preference. Only when you have known yourself can you go anywhere else.

Then wherever you go you will carry a blissfulness around you, a peace, a silence, a celebration."

-Osho

When I died it was just like Bashar says, you wake up as if your life was a dream and the one you’re now in more real than the previous. Where do we go after that? Idk. But are simply just here and now so be here.

Love and Logic never meet, can not meet.

Logic means the Outward journey.

Love means the Inward journey.

"Here's the irony. 'The trap,' if there is one, is the story itself that gets people to believe there's a trap. That's the trap. Believing there is one. You don't realize that the story itself you're being told, the story you're being told to buy into, is the trap. So, don't fall for the trap. Don't fall for it." - Bashar

Soul Trap is an illusion

Terence McKenna claimed he once gave a Tibetan lama DMT and that he responded with "This is the lesser lights, the lesser lights of the Bardo. You cannot go further into the Bardo and return." What was the lama referring to?

What is "the lesser lights"? Is it a real term in any Vajrayana teachings?

I'm searching and not finding anything except more references to this particular story.

- The lesser lights refer to the display of delusion and confusion in your mind. Getting attracted to, or seduced by, the lesser lights means you are continuing into the world of confusion. So I would also take it to mean the lama was pointing out that what is seen in those kind of trips is a display of fundamental ignorance, not enlightenment.

The White Light at death:

“The white light people see is simply the true nature of our own mind. At death, you become withdrawn from the 5 senses as the body begins to break down and the sense organs cease to properly function. When sensory impressions are removed, what’s left is the empty, aware space in which those previous impressions derived their existence. It’s the bright, clear light of awareness. You can experience this same state of mind before death through meditation, prayer, sensory deprivation, psychedelics, etc.

I’d recommend reading the Tibetan book of the dead (or a summary online), seems like you’re mixing up the white light with the idea of being “trapped” in samsara/rebirth. What causes us to be trapped in rebirth is not the white light, but our attachments and the impersonal law of karma (cause and effect).”

“Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns, the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest.”

From the Tibetan Book of the Dead

Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest.

Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home.

The visions you experience exist within your consciousness; the forms they take are determined by your past attachments, your past desires, your past fears, your past karma.

These visions have no reality outside your consciousness. No matter how frightening some of them may seem they cannot hurt you. Just let them pass through your consciousness. They will all pass in time. No need to become involved with them; no need to become attracted to the beautiful visions; no need to be repulsed by the frightening ones. No need to be seduced or excited by the sexual ones. No need to be attached to them at all.

Just let them pass. If you become involved with these visions, you may wander for a long time confused. Just let them pass through your consciousness like clouds passing through an empty sky.

Fundamentally they have no more reality than this.

Remember these teachings, remember the clear light, the pure bright shining white light of your own nature, it is deathless.

If you can look into the visions you can experience and recognize that they are composed of the same pure clear white light as everything else in the universe.

No matter where or how far you wander, the light is only a split second, a half-breath away. It is never too late to recognize the clear light.
