How can one attain the Rainbow Body?

In Vajrayana Buddhism after a lifetime of spiritual study and practice if one manages to attains enlightenment upon death it is said they shall transform into such vortex of energy that seen from the view of an observer will be as "a body of light" (Jalü)

Is that all...?

No

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

If we seek further we take a peek at Gdod ma'i bon sorcery (Bonsar) a left-handed sorcery and see another way to attain a subtle body of limitless form, a body of pure enjoyment...

ritual as thus:

1. cleansing and preparation of spirit(karma) soul, mind: OM BADZRA SATO HUNG chant 8 mala rounds clear, seated in deep pose 2. plant the 10 seeds of self evolution: OM AH KA MA LA WA RA YA SO HA chanting out loud 2 mala rounds with clapping or striking of tones 3. building the body capable: OM AH HUNG RAM DZA begin OM above the crown, flow the channel through to the pranic intake of AH, invigorate the mansion of blood with the fire of HUNG, stimulate the central core with RAM let it resonate, reach the hidden path DZA and awaken true wisdom 4. Transcending the physical form: OM AYM HRIM TREEM BAHM HUM PEH! comprehend the cosmos OM AYM HRIM! Ascend over the limits of the physical realms TREEM TREEM TREEM! The body is illusory and can therefore be shifted to any accordance BAHM! Quickly realize the absolute truth and achieve the Knowing HUM PEH!

practice makes perfect, the hidden path illuminates not for any one who seeks it but for those who diligently apply themselves...Namaste🙏🏾

How to Change Your Life

The purpose of creation is to be free of unhappiness and enjoy life as it is now, revealing itself every moment. By the magic of the divine psyche, my willingness to enjoy the creation as it unfolds in my life changes the circumstances of my life, so that I take the past out of those circumstances and they start to appear to me as the present; and therefore fulfil my needs. So whatever I need is provided for me in the circumstances of my life without me having to battle for it, as in the past.

As I enjoy my life more and more every moment - by not blaming or accusing others for spoiling it or ruining it, or blaming myself for spoiling it - a divine miracle happens in the psyche. The circumstances of my life start to work for me, instead of me having to work against them and fight. Simultaneously, as I descend into this state of joy, which becomes absence of wanting or trying or choice, because all is provided for me, I discover a knowledge which is not dependent on knowing anything.  

So I say to you: Don’t think about your unhappiness, because that will make you go into your self and stir the emotions, and then you’ll go into orbit, on and on, thinking. The thing to do is to look into your external life and see what is making you unhappy. That will be a real guide. 

If I look into my life, I’ll see the reflection of my unhappiness there. If I go into my self, I’ll only get emotional impressions. My emotional self is my acquired self. I’ve picked it up since I was born. The circumstances of my life are the real reflection of myself. So if I can only attend to the real reflection of myself in particular aspects of my life, I will actually deal with the acquired self. 

If you go into your acquired self, it will make more of itself. Whereas by looking into your life with honesty and straightness, you will get a true reflection, not a discursive, circular one. And that will reduce your acquired self, your unhappiness. 

Be what I am every moment, free of unhappiness, and allow that creativity to unfold and express itself. But this does mean cleaning up your past. It means that as the circumstances of your life are presented to you, you’ve got to face the past in them - because every circumstance is the past repeating itself in the present. There’s an element of past in it that has not been faced. So if it disturbs you, you've got to look into it with honesty and say, ‘What is in this, which is disturbing me? What am I not seeing? What am I not facing in this? Where am I not being honest in this relationship or this event?’

I Go Into Me

I am using my intelligence, my attention, to look into ‘me’ – me who feels the steadiness, the sweetness or the rightness of just being here. I am looking into a sort of nothing. I might say it is black. But that’s only because there is no light in here; no starlight.

The human mind can't stand nothing. It cannot stand looking at nothing for long. But I am asking you to look inside and see nothing. For as I see nothing, I become nothing and this is how I clear my mind. I clarify my consciousness. I take the past, the movement, out of my consciousness, by looking at nothing inside. 

This is how my mind gets the power to see straight. This is where, when the time comes, I will get the equilibrium, the steadiness, the one-pointedness to look into my self; or to look into my living life and see straight and clear, because there will be nothing in the way.

I am looking at nothing. I am being nothing. Here in this stillness and this silence, in the being of nothing, here is where the tortured human mind and emotions will become disturbed and produce something for my attention to look at. My mind of awareness can only focus on the things of the senses. It will be looking for something with its awareness. But in seeing nothing and being nothing, I am using my consciousness. Only consciousness can be used for this purpose of looking at nothing inside. I will notice my mental awareness endeavouring to project something into this stillness and silence to catch my attention. And that something will be a thought. That’s the red herring the human mind loves to throw left, right and centre – anything to distract my beautiful clarity from joining me - the ‘most high’ which is the most descent into me. 

The human mind is connected to the pain in the self. Any thought will start off to be about nothing in particular but it won’t be long before the mind latches onto some emotional problem. And then it leads you a merry dance, being busy with your self until you have lost me. So, come on back. Look into me. Relax. Be easy. Give up. Enjoy looking into me, seeing nothing. 

In 'going into me' we have another option. That is to feel the good inside of me. I truly sink into the peace, the sweetness, the easiness, the well-being that has no opposite. It is right to be here. It is good to be here. I am coming home. As I sink down I may be aware that way out on the perimeter of my consciousness my mind is trying to throw in some thought. But because I am focused on nothing, or on the relief and blessedness of coming home, I will be able to keep the thought out there - without trying. For thought cannot cross into consciousness. But that does not mean I am not aware of it endeavouring to subvert or seduce me.  

Every second my attention is descending into me. There is no end to the depth of me. In the absence of any thing there is just more silence, more stillness, more reality. As I truly descend I will feel relief and sooner or later I will know that I am coming home because my attention came out of this place. I had to pass this way, upwards. My attention came out this way and became engrossed in my physical awareness. That is the truth. The mind cannot explain it. The mind cannot even come in here to analyse it. The mind is right out on the perimeter . . . Perhaps it has totally disappeared. In here is the source of clarity, honesty, love, rightness. In here is my true being, the black, the deep, out of which I come. 

Sometimes, as I go into me, I leave my mental awareness behind and my body, the shape of it, disappears. Then I notice, on the perimeter, that my imagination will reconstitute parts of my body. I will be drawn to an arm or a leg, and my awareness in desperation will endeavour to recreate my body - because it cannot stand not to be a body. But I who would be me - I who would be the ‘most high’ by descending into the most deep - I must be nobody.  And if I only focus on me, it just happens.

Do not leave me. Do not think. If I go deep enough into this stillness and silence inside of me, I reach a place that is called God. I will have no doubt when I reach it but no-one can ever describe what it is. So many have tried to find God. This is where God is. It is where God is accessible to my consciousness. I cannot use my mental awareness to enter this place, for that is what I use whenever I open my eyes and go about my daily business. My mental awareness will never, ever enter this place. That’s why no scientist has ever found the secret of life and never will. For this is life - in me. I am life.
