Sri Ramana Maharshi on Self-Enquiry Disciple: What is the difference between meditation and Self-enquiry? Master: Meditation is possible only if the ego is retained; there is the ego and the object meditated upon. This method is indirect. However, if we seek the ego-source, the ego disappears and what remains is the Self. This method is the direct one. Q: (On another occasion) What is the difference between meditation and vichara? M: Meditation can be upon an object, external or otherwise. Inquiry consists in retaining the mind in the Self. Who is the meditator? Meditation is one approach that will drive away other thoughts. The only enquiry leading to Self-realization is seeking the Source of the “I” with in-turned mind and without uttering the word “I.” Meditation should be on the Self. The experience of Self is possible only for the mind that has become subtle and unmoving as a result of prolonged meditation. All kinds of thoughts arise in meditation. The purport of prescribing meditation on the pranava is this.
Pranique, pranic, prana (respirien, breatharian, aerivoro, inédie) : le Site ! Iran and Persia - Are They the Same? The names Iran and Persia are often used interchangeably to mean the same country. Iran is the legal name. Persia, was an ancient kingdom within Iran. Iran came to be known as Persia in the West thanks to classical Greek authors during whose time Persia was the dominant kingdom in Iran. The name 'Persia' comes from 'Pers' which is in turn the European version of 'Pars' - an area that is today a province of Iran (see the map at the bottom of this page). 2,500 years ago, when the present provinces of Iran were kingdoms [at one time Iran (then Airan) consisted of 240 kingdoms*], Pars was known as Parsa, and the kings of Parsa established an empire that came to be known in the West as the Persian Empire - the largest empire the world have ever known to that point. Iran is a relatively modern contraction of the name Airyana Vaeja (the ancient homeland of the Airya or Aryans). Migration of Ancient Iranians & Growth of Greater Iran Extent of Iran.

Chartres | The Song of the Labyrinth “Thus it is no longer surprising that Man, imitating his Creator, has at last found a method of singing in harmony which was unknown to the ancients, so that he might play, that is to say, the perpetuity of the whole of cosmic time in some brief fraction of an hour, by the artificial concert of several voices, and taste up to a point the satisfaction of God his Maker in His works by a most delightful sense of pleasure felt in this imitator of God: Music.” Johannes Kepler, Harmonices Mundi[i] The Chartres Labyrinth holds a special interest for me. It is among other things, the first full scale labyrinth which I personally circumambulated. In the course of my research I happened upon an article[iv] prepared by Eminent Freemason Bro. The Labyrinth During medieval times there was a very close link between the Craft Masons and the Knights Templar[vi]. The Chartres Labyrinth is a circular, stone mosaic construction[viii] (See Figure 1). Conclusion [i] Kepler, Johannes. [iii] Kern, Herman.
The Present - Universal Truth - The Ultimate Truth A man should look for what is and not for what he thinks should be. Albert Einstein Truth you can check: It is as matter of fact as the ground and as useful as food. It's the kind of truth that can make hate and war as unnecessary as ignorance. Charles Darwin revealed how evolution works, but not what it really means. Evolution is no longer just a theory; it has been proven true beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence says we evolved as life evolved. Human beings did not just appear at the top of the evolutionary ladder to reap the benefits of those millions of years of evolution without having to live through it. In other words, you were those other animals. You had to be lower animals to be a human now. In addition to the fossil evidence, the genetic code proves that all animals, including us, evolved from bacteria over the last 700 million years on earth. In other words, you were a microbe, an insect, a fish, a dinosaur, an ape... How do you know you are dead? Everything is balanced. 1.

Figure 1 Vesica Piscis in 2 Dimensions In the early 1970s, I became very interested in the three dimensional representation of this geometry and I visualized this as a three dimensional pyramid inside two intersecting spheres shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 Vesica Piscis in 3 Dimensions In an effort to visualize these 3D relationships in yet another way, I stacked reflective Christmas Tree balls in an inverted pyramid shell.
