KRISHNA AND BUDDHA

“TRUTH-BRINGERS” FOR INDIA

INDIA’S REJECTION OF “TRUTH” --- A LEGACY ENSURING DESTRUCTION

“Three things cannot be long hidden; the sun, the moon,
and The Truth.”

Proverb attributed to Buddha.
(Emphasis mine.)

Reader: The above proverb clearly holds absolute Truth in terms of the sun and the moon; they cannot be hidden. And without their beneficial influence acting on the earth, we could not even be here! The third aspect of the Buddha’s proverb, however, is quite a different story, for man’s journey has constantly shown us that historical truths, particularly, can be hidden, and for a very long time.

Latter-day detectives uncovering long-lost documents and employing scientific instruments have largely rewritten that human journey and continue to do so. But, of course, such discoveries are related to the physical/material solely which, for the academic world as they teach it, is the only valid way to quantify our history and “reason for being”.

When we speak of Truth, however; we are more concerned with far more than just the earthly. Yes: It is certainly important that human history be clarified, for within those parameters will be found the religious aspect, the religious journey with all its initial and powerful Guidance that brought them into being to begin with. Subsequently, of course, the inevitable deterioration that always set in thus leading to errors and distortions of the once-pristine Teachings. That’s the real earthly aspect.

As you well know by now, in order to get to the Truth of us humans and our very strange and aberrant totally aspiritual notions and activities, we must access the far greater part of Creation --- the non-visible, non-material aspect --- from which we emerged, and thus from which All Truth concomitantly also emerged.

In the previous Discourse we looked at the disastrous legacy of the great civilisation of Egypt. Advanced in engineering, astronomy and mathematics, that culture’s obsession with the “after-life” wrought beliefs and practices that were not in accord with The Laws of Creation. Consequently, those aberrant beliefs brought forth dark practices by a powerful priesthood which exerted great influence over Egyptian society, with the end result, however, that it all collapsed into ruin.

We could really learn from these great and clear historical examples of how not to run a society, but we don’t. We just keep repeating the same mistakes!

In the case of our Discourse of the moment, here we come to a serious disconnect of two major religions and cultures that was never ordained to be. This particular example of two religions having their genesis in the same part of the world yet travelling divergent paths of beliefs is perhaps the best example illustrating how “spiritually-blind” we, as a species, truly are. We will clarify that here, too!

Right! In terms of the two now solidly-entrenched “world religions” of Hinduism and Buddhism, each naturally believes --- as all religions do in any case ---- that “their” faith/belief “doctrine” is more valid than the other. In concert, therefore, the overall end-result of Hinduism is its incredible proliferation of “stone gods”, which all Hindus hold as sacred --- even holy --- and thus real.

Whilst Hinduism --- apart from natural migration to some other parts of the world --- has largely been primarily concentrated inside India where it strongly retains its long-held religious ethos; Buddhism on the other hand, in many other countries has developed differing branches of thought in those particular societies.

Now whilst our main focus is on Buddha, we must also note Krishna’s great influence on the peoples of India at a far earlier time than Buddha. Being incarnated approximately 3,200 B.C., the great difference in time between the two Truth-Bringers for India meant that over almost three millennia, the Teachings of Krishna became so diluted as to be finally lost in their true meaning.

So: Enter Buddha; he had also to come to India to firstly re-establish the foundational Truths brought by Krishna, but to also bring a new and more elevated level of knowledge that India was supposed to be spiritually-ready to accept.

The problem, people, with what are termed “the great religions of the world” is that they suit the adherents of them. After all, the particular religion of any given region of earth is almost always also their cultural paradigm, so why bother to change? Why seek elsewhere; why even bother to question? That is the problem!

But it’s not just the rank and file within religions that do not bother to question any part of their beliefs. The ones who should look beyond their individual faith/belief modes ---- the professors, the theologians, the scholars, and all the other so-called “learned of religion” --- rarely do so either. Yet the whole of “academia” seemingly taxes its clearly inadequate collective brain to try to understand the “state of the planet and its failing societies”.

Well, reader: Let’s all reacquaint ourselves with the ultimate reality check for humans of planet earth, for this “check” resonates especially-perfectly with this Section of the Work about the “Truth-Bringers”!

We all want the world to be “our way”!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

In the previous Discourse on the Truth-Bringer for Egypt, the Pharaoh Akhenaten, the narrative of his life clearly showed the trials, opposition and then ultimate rejection of the ordained path once mapped out by Divine Will for the people and nation of Egypt.

To this day in the land of the iconic pyramids; nothing of the Ordained Vision of Akhenaten is even considered; nothing but pride of culture in the reverence of long-dead, useless things.

For the peoples of India and neighbouring lands, the same kind of “spiritual blindness” equally applies in what should have subsequently developed from the teachings of Krishna, and later Buddha --- of whose lives we now enter!

KRISHNA

THE “TOO-MANY-GODS” OF HINDUISM

Reader: Before we begin to open up the past about the High Being and Truth-Bringer, Krishna; we need to put right some key points about who and what Krishna was not. For over the long time-period since his sojourn on earth, all manner of fantastic myths and legends have been woven around him and his life and purpose.

As the whole of this Work states in no uncertain terms, nothing, not one thing that is concerned with Sublime Purpose, can be or happen except under the Perfect aegis of The Eternal Laws of Creation!

Human beings cannot “invent” notions about historical events and personalities. Neither can we “sanitise” history to suit a cultural narrative or elevate a religion. The past and all that has taken place in it stands inviolate for all time --- as it must.

Firstly: Krishna was not, and is not, a god! He does, however, reside in a Realm that is far above our human Spiritual Realm, and therefore in a place where the stupendous Power of The Radiation of God far exceeds what we could ever stand. Quite logically, his “High Position” in the Structure of Creation means that he, along with all other Beings and Servants of God that stand at a far higher level that we can possibly ever attain to, can “live” in that Radiation in a fully conscious state. He therefore knows that he is a High Servant of God.

How do I know this? Quite simply: The All-Truth is exactly that. And in it the High Realm of Krishna is written about. That is not his name and title there, however! If you want to know, then seek it out, for we will not divulge that in this Discourse!

So, the “Cult of Krishna” that has spread to a number of countries outside India; the adherents of which actually foolishly and ignorantly worship him, very unfortunately now characterises him and his life here on earth. It is a serious denigration of him, his position, and of The Almighty --- Whom he served faithfully!

The “Hare Krishna Church” thus stands especially indicted for their very wrong beliefs. In addition, their very silly street antics of mindless drum-beating and dancing do not advance their spiritual cause in the slightest --- despite what they may tell themselves.

Let us therefore learn the true story of Krishna and allow the picture of him and his Work to come to life before our spirit.

THE MISSION OF KRISHNA:

Reader: At the time of this writing, in a world severely impacted by changing and destructive weather patterns and ravaged by an invisible and deadly pestilence called Covid19, let’s take note of Krishna’s homeland where: ...
“through their connection with the forces of Nature they had remained untouched by the confusing influence of the world”. -----------

That is what we of this era’s human race must do if there is to be any meaningful change for at least some to emerge from what is still yet to come. Like almost all modern-day societies, however, the people of India generally hold the acquisition of wealth as more important than according sufficient protection to the natural world that we all must nevertheless still live in!

An especial point must be made here. The description of Krishna’s “home” might appear to be “too good to be true” to some readers. However, it would be ludicrous to think that a person such as Krishna would be born in a downtrodden or slum area. In addition, the notation of a circle of Pure Knights who guarded the sacredness of their Worship should not be dismissed as a “fairy tale” either.

Man’s history is redolent of uncounted “places of worship” and the accoutrements thereof, including various kinds of “flames” to symbolise Light. Of course, the level of spiritual awareness of the culture/religion guided or drove the commensurate “form” of worship. The gamut of mankind’s “worship” thus ranged from stone idols and animals to the best-known example occupying the other end of the spectrum --- the Holy of Holies of the Jews.

So it was that in that especially-protected environment; by Divine Ordination, Krishna was incarnated. In addition, the spiritually-elevated degree of awareness and worship there; coupled with conscious awareness of, and concomitant working with, the Forces of Nature; established the framework and foundation for his formative years. From the “Pages of Time”, let’s hear the words that announced his forthcoming birth.

Now, before some of you crass intellectualists mock such things, the same Voice has proclaimed other great births. The most well-known is that of the Annunciation to Mary, who would bear Jesus, The Son of God.

Krishna’s High Origin meant that his intuitive faculty was far more developed than those around him. His youth was thus characterised by recognition after recognition of the workings of Nature, including a growing understanding of the sun and the moon in their “active energies”. Thus:

Two things that you already know spring to mind here. There is the well-known observation: “When I consider the heavens and the stars, what is man that Thou are mindful of him”; and the great recognition by the colossus of science, Sir Isaac Newton, that there is; “one Law for the Heavens, and the same Law rules the earth”. What we are doing here, reader, is stating clear knowledge arrived at long-ago by Krishna, and connecting it to the philosophy and science of our time.

The time came for Krishna to leave behind his youth and be initiated into adulthood and his great Spiritual Mission!

We should comment once more on Krishna’s high Origin. Though the “Record of the Past” says the words “as a man among men”; thus indicating a place far above our human origins --- he was not a God! Precisely because of his Origin, Krishna possessed the ability to “see” beyond the earthly externals. The ethereal forms of both good and evil were thus clear to him. This meant that “forces of Darkness” could not approach unknown or unseen --- and this protection he would need among the peoples of India and their many stone idols.

Krishna’s initiation was immensely powerful. We will not, however, describe what the Akashic Record reveals of the actual proceedings. Suffice to say that shortly after, Krishna left his home in the mountains and set out on his crucial mission for India.

Krishna left the area with a Hindu guide who asked to accompany him on his journeys. He intuitively perceived that he had to take him to a region then called Jadava; there to meet its king, and on the way to also show Krishna the location of other temples. After three days they entered a mountainous region and arrived at a temple complex built into the rocks by a prince to honour the gods.

The descriptions of the ethereal forms of evil that met Krishna throughout his work may seem fanciful, and not at all “scientific”. However, every culture has produced forms that subsequently lived in their folklore and worship. The free-will attribute that we all inherently possess has the power to produce whatever forms our imagination can conjure up. Having produced them, they are sustained in their “forms” by our acceptance of them as living entities --- even if we cannot see them.

That, of course, is the terrible paradox. We have spawned evil forms for millennia but do not really understand the dangerous nature of many of them --- even though we “own” them and are actually surrounded by them. They are the “things” that produce sudden feelings of unease, trepidation and certainly ‘unseen fear”! We have all had such experiences, at times of which we sometimes desperately try to “push away”.

A corresponding comment here is well-warranted. The relatively-recent cult-craze of primarily Hollywood films --- of course --- featuring zombies for one, and battles against all manner of dark and dangerous entities all wrapped up as “entertainment”; reveals how stupidly-ignorant the human race is, and how far from real knowledge we truly are. The one saving grace here is that some films at least do depict the dangers of “other-world” entities, and the main characters do battle and defeat them. Nonetheless, the overall “message” of this particular genre of film dangerously places it as just “fun”.

Despite India’s proud “religious possession” of Krishna as a “high deity”, his “wrathful” condemnation of India’s so-called “holy men” so long ago has nonetheless fallen on blind eyes and deaf ears. To any sane person, the current crop of Hindu ascetics with withered arms, “stork-like” postures and other completely pointless and ridiculous notions, defy rational logic.

Pride: Foolish, silly, conceited, egotistical pride! Look at what I can do! Surely, that is the sum total of it all --- nothing there but that. Where is there anything holy in what they do? Even silly, empty-headed Westerners are impressed.

What would India’s “holy men” do if Krishna appeared to them as a “Flaming Torch” today?

The last sentence calls for special comment. The notion that words can come out of one’s mouth without there being conscious thought to “form them” beforehand, will probably be strange to most. We certainly know that the insane often voice words and sentences that are not of their personal volition.

On the other hand, utterances of a high nature can take a number of forms; from statements or decrees issuing from the spiritual intuition; from clear prophecy, and very profoundly where a High Guide will actually use the organs of speech of a given person to deliver a statement or decree, or even “put right” a wrong.

Quite clearly, such an unusual event will only occur for a very specific purpose, so that the “path” being travelled, or the project being undertaken, will proceed exactly according to precise ordination --- thus protecting it from being undermined.

How do I know this? I personally experienced that phenomenon at a critical point in my life’s mission; the culmination of which you are now reading! Revealed as a clearly-guided High “spiritual fulfilment” at the beginning of this path, certain opposing influences threatened to derail it in its infancy. The “message” that issued from me at the time was more than sufficient to end any further attempts to stop that “Path”!

And yes: It is a very strange, almost disconcerting, experience, but also a very profound one. For the strength and profundity of it is such that one cannot do other than hold it with amazement for all of one’s life!

The clear authority for all such potential is well-signalled in the Bible: “Think not what you will say, for I will speak through you!”

Had India, and especially Hinduism, really accepted those particularly critical teachings of Krishna so long ago, the so-called sacred river Ganges might not be the polluted sewer that it is today. The world’s most polluted river, permitted to be so by a nation with a primary religion that ostensibly worships animals and thus nature, yet allows their supposedly sacred “Mother Ganges” in most of its length to simply die --- devoid of fish life.

How is that possible, reader? Well, it’s only possible because human beings will conveniently and hypocritically say one thing and do another. In this case industry and money are placed first in India today.

Now, however, after Jeremy Wade’s documentary expose’ of the Ganges in his recent Series, Mighty Rivers; a debate in India about the current state of the river very strangely centres on whether or not it should be accorded “Human Rights” status!

As we have not long said: “Human Rights”, as it stands and is promoted across the globe, transgresses every aspect of immutable Creation-Law! Let us return to Krishna’s marvellous life and Mission!

The scenes described here of sickness and disease resulting from the rampaging of floodwaters of the great rivers of India, has been repeated uncountable numbers of times throughout that nation’s history. In the 20^th and now into the 21^st century, such scenes have mesmerised TV viewers as the raw power of water causes buildings, bridges and roads --- and people --- to be engulfed and washed out to sea.

Of course, the scientific view is one that is solely empirical in that relevant weather patterns and cycles will bring regular flooding. That is certainly true insofar as the “mechanics” of such events are concerned. However, behind all physical/material happenings stand the great Laws of Creation. As Krishna tried to explain to the people of India so long ago; by our volition and deeds, we activate “Elemental Forces” that science has no idea of, but which nonetheless serve The Will of God.

Horrendous, devastating, or otherwise, PART II explained how and why the immutable outworking of Creation-Law achieves such outcomes. That is what we have been warning of for well over a thousand pages now --- so wake up!

There are two points that need to be furthered here: The first one concerns the revelation that Krishna carried a sword. This “fact” will almost certainly be disbelieved by those who strangely think that all of the great spiritually-enlightened men of history somehow led a life so sheltered that weapons and weapons-training were not part of their upbringing.

Such a view is as silly as it is unrealistic. Societies throughout history have always deemed it necessary for their young men to be trained in the skilful use of weapons; that was a matter of simple survival in an uncertain and dangerous world. Princes of Realms were especially well-trained, for they were required to defend their lands, and lead into battle when necessary. So was it for Krishna!

In the next part of this Discourse, we will also learn that Buddha, too, trained with weapons. The thousands of statues in many parts of the world depicting him as a fat, smiling, bulbous mass is an affront to him and his High Mission! It is only the ignorant and the superficial “non-thinkers” who believe that so-called “spiritual men” have to be always gentle and loving, and never show “justified anger” at nonsensical human stupidity!

The second point here is man’s propensity for “blood-sacrifice”! Throughout at least most of our early history, our collective record undeniably testifies to the fact that at various points in our development, many diverse peoples carried out blood-sacrifices to one form of stone god or another. Despite the fact that such practices could perhaps be attributed to fear of the elements and thus necessary appeasement; in truth they were dark and evil. Unfortunately, clever men could use that fear to their advantage and thereby exert control over the group.

In most societies such practices eventually came to an end --- though interestingly in some parts of the world, not until very recently. Here, quite relevantly, India features. And in this case, one of her “stone goddesses” plays a leading role!

India’s Thuggees were an organised gang of professional assassins that operated from the 13^th to the 19^th centuries. Whilst their activities were not blood-sacrifices to a “stone idol”, the ritualistic killings of this fanatical religious group were nevertheless carried out in the name of the Hindu Goddess, Kali. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Thuggees were responsible for approximately two million deaths. However, estimates vary widely since there is no reliable source to confirm when the practice first began. What is clear is that over hundreds of years of killings fed by religious fanaticism, the numbers assassinated would surely be considerable.

The British Army of the Raj finally decided that they would completely eliminate the organisation. The operation was carried out by a Captain Sleeman. India can surely be thankful for the annihilation of those murderous fanatics who spread terror for hundreds of years. Yet why did it need the intervention of the British to put an end to it, when the combined resources of wealthy Rajahs surely could have done so?

Between 1826 and 1835, a total of 1562 thugs were tried; 382 sentenced to death, 909 to transportation, and 77 to imprisonment for life. In 1839, Sleeman declared that as an organised association, the Thuggees had been effectively destroyed. In just 9 years, British soldiers did what Indian “officials” had been unable or unwilling to stop; murders that had been ongoing for hundreds of years.

The most telling thing about that long murderous episode, however, is that despite the two great Truth-Bringers that India was graced with long before that time, the old traditions were so deeply-entrenched that even their presence in the land was still not enough to awaken the people to their empty, spiritually-dead, rituals. Yet many people today, very strangely and very perversely, seem to regard India as a “spiritual place”.

Reader: Is that exchange really any different to what takes place in some religions today? Islamic Jihadists responsible for thousands of murders in the name of “their religion” would not have been out of place in India in Krishna’s time. They, too, would have opposed him as he set about destroying all wrong religious practices.

Krishna continued his work of enlightenment, but always the machinations and agitations of the priests in particular were a constant problem. Nonetheless, he continued on in fulfilment of the High purpose for which he had been incarnated, yet also knowing that his great work would be undermined and rejected or forgotten in the pure form in which he had given it. The time inevitably came for Krishna to begin to prepare for his departure from earth life.

When Krishna returned home to the Palace of his upbringing, he used the time still left to him to instruct the people in the knowledge of the Higher Realms and in the Creation-Law connections that hold and sustain everything.

Inexorably, the India that he had striven so hard to bring the Light of God to turned more and more to the old traditions. The worship of “dead stone idols” became once more entrenched across the land, and the Light-Being, Krishna was perversely-elevated to the position of “a god”.

Despite the underlying recognition that Krishna must have been a High Spirit; until the arrival of The All-Truth of The Spirit of Truth, Krishna’s true status and position in Creation was not known.

Now, India: You do!

BUDDHA: Siddhartha and
Gautama

INDIA’S GREAT ERROR AND SUBSEQUENT
“SPIRITUAL INDICTMENT”

Reader: The journey of “Buddha” through India for the purpose of firstly re-establishing the Truths brought by Krishna, and concomitantly to lead the people to the next step, should be understood as being the second chance for India to fully let go the “stone gods” that she had once more embraced.

Few nations and peoples have been gifted with three Truth-Bringers! India: you were! Krishna’s great Spiritual Mission, however, fell away into the dust of history through the actions of a people determined to perversely-return to their old gods; “gods” useless and dead!

As “Buddha’s” story is essentially the same in the ultimate outcome, we will simply outline the key points of what he also tried to do. And from the Akashic Record, we will discover which of the two Buddhas experienced that event so celebrated by Buddhists world-wide ----the great enlightenment under “the tree”!

Firstly, however, the “official” historical narrative from two different online sources: Buddha (c. 563 BC --- c. 483)

I have strongly emphasised the word, mind, in the above Text for the simple reason that the Buddha’s great Mission was not an “intellectual” one, but a Spiritual one! We well-know by now that “mind-reasoning” requires the use of the brain, which “activity” is about as far removed from genuine Spiritual intuition as it can get. Being essentially tied to the physical body means that mind and brain “stuff” undergo the same processes of death and decomposition when its “human host” dies.

Now, reader: The time-frame of around 2,500 years from Buddha’s birth to our present-day will obviously mean that his full life story cannot be accurately known by historians. However, as you know we have exactly the right medium by which we can delve into what really took place in Buddha’s life! That medium, of course, is the Akashic Record.

So, whilst the basic narrative of a royal birth and secluded upbringing for Buddha is correct, the key points of his life ---- as they actually happened ---- are not at all known by Buddhist “scholars” and historians. Indeed, without access to the “Chronicle”, they simply cannot.

In order therefore to clearly illuminate the sublime Appointment and Mission that the title, Buddha, called forth; our narrative will take its authority from the incontrovertible source of the Akashic Chronicle! For if “scholars of Buddha” did truly know the complete story; then they would be teaching what we will reveal: That there was not just one Buddha, but two! The first was Siddhartha, the second was the greater: Gautama!

As they journeyed throughout India and Nepal teaching the Higher Knowledge that they were tasked with, their Missions, like all events that take place on earth, were indelibly “imprinted” upon the matrix of the Pages of Time. For nothing is lost, all is preserved --- even every word ever spoken! That is the most important point to fully recognise.

Both were “Called” to bring Truth to the region of India and its peoples. However, the greater Mission was that of Gautama, who therefore earns the title of Buddha!

In a very strange way, the melding of two separate teachers for India into one by the “religion of Buddhism” was repeated much later by the “religion of Christianity” in their “merging into one” the two very distinct and separate personages of The Son of God and The Son of Man!

We have underlined a key part of the missions of both Siddhartha and Gautama. Since the story of “Buddha” is a whole book in itself, we will only touch on that facet of their activity.

So: From what is correctly described as “the most beautiful part of Indian history”, we will take from it just the relevant excerpts we need, appropriate to the “steering away” from the carved idols of India towards the One True God. We will also reveal a few other key events in their lives.

BUDDHA: THE “FAT ONE” --- AN INEXCUSABLE DISTORTION

Before we join Buddha on his great Mission, two points need to be stated and reinforced about the unfortunate legacy that India in the first instance has made of the teachings of this remarkable and High Spiritual servant of The One True God.

The first is the distorting of his teachings so devastatingly that the very ethos of what he taught and demanded of the peoples of “wider India” was completely undermined. Today, in place of proper worship and prayer as he demanded it must be, the regular spinning of “prayer wheels” in Tibet and Nepal, especially, is seemingly believed to be good enough to one day “attain to Nirvana”.

This kind of “easy-worship” activity is in principle the same as that which the Catholic Church instituted for itself, accepting money for prayers on behalf of supplicants until Martin Luther’s protestations against the practice. Such a challenge, essentially to the authority of the pope himself at a time when he and his church were all-powerful, was a very dangerous undertaking. Both practices were/are spiritually lazy!

That is the associated spin-off from the notion that constant contemplation and meditation in monasteries guarantees “attainment to Nirvana” much more quickly. Both notions are false --- as the Buddha clearly taught.

So how and why the knowledge of The One God has been lost or rejected throughout the Indian sub-continent is completely unfathomable, since it was the Highest Knowledge that Krishna and Siddhartha and Gautama Buddha taught. India’s rejection is especially dire, for to “return” to dead stone gods and idols after receiving that Higher Knowledge can only spell terrible destruction for the nation and its people at its appointed time. Reader: That is now close!

The second point that is an affront to the essential Spiritual legacy of Buddha is, once again, the depiction of Gautama in various sculpted postures and poses. Invariably depicted as fat and bulbous, sometimes sitting upright, sometimes reclining, laughing, closed-eyed and meditatively-serious; not one in the many countries that display statues of a Buddha, show him for who he truly was. The very silly and totally superficial practice of “rubbing his tummy for luck” on statuettes especially made for that purpose is especially abhorrent.

But it is all great for the tourist trade; or it was before the Covid19 pandemic rightfully killed it off. Even on ornamental-display in homes, Buddha statuettes have found their way to virtually every place on the planet.

In the final analysis, it is all a mockery. Buddha did not spend all his life under a tree seeking enlightenment. Yes, he was certainly blessed with immense Grace by being permitted to “see” Higher Levels of Creation when praying deeply for that “enlightenment” under that tree.

Buddha earned the right to be called such through hard experiences, keen study, and being open to High Guidance from the Light of God --- all the while helping and furthering a great many others to the same way of learning. And he certainly did not shut himself away in a monastery!

So, let us now learn the true story of the two “Buddhas”!

We begin by noting that the place where Siddhartha’s palace was located is recorded as Kapilavastu. Hs wife was Maya, and two sons, Rahula and Suddhodana.

THE MISSION OF “SIDDHARTHA” BUDDHA

THE SEER OPENS WIDE HIS EYES AND SEES.
BEFORE HIS GAZE ARISES LIFE
WHICH HAS BEEN INDELIBLY ENGRAVED
IN THE BOOK OF THIS GREAT CREATION

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

That is the setting where Prince Siddhartha reigned as ruler. The Akashic Record tells us that he was not overly concerned with delving into the knowledge of the gods of the time other than “accepting” Vishnu as an evil god, and Shiva as the good god. His primary interest was hunting. He would go on many long hunting expeditions with a large retinue of servants and pack animals. Rahula, the son, grew up asking many questions. Remembering that “Buddha” was incarnated for an especially high purpose, the reason for his and the family’s name was important for him to know.

India at the time being a land of many different principalities with competing kings and warlords, arms-training was a necessary part of everyday life; both for those who wanted peace, and those who sought conquest. In that context, Prince Siddhartha’s wife was given a warning that the castle would one day be attacked and overrun. Needing to ensure that the future Buddha would be protected, she was shown (by a “protecting guide”) an exit passage from the castle; the knowledge of which was no longer known by the castle inhabitants.

Reader: In our 21^st century of almost total reliance on high-end electronics, computers and the like, such things as “spiritual guides” and secret passages will seem to many to be fairy-tale stuff only worthy of a J.K. Rowling movie, and therefore “lightweight” and of no consequence to “modern sophisticates”. But, of course, throughout history secret exits were built into most palaces, castles and fortresses as an expedient necessity.

In terms of “spiritual guides”, widespread disbelief and derision about them is the very reason why the clear realities for our present century are so dire ------ and we all know it. For the most part, the greater bulk of the human race is stuck-fast in its terrible, totally aspiritual, non-understanding of why!

While the Prince was away, his realm fell, and his palace and city destroyed. On his way home he and his small retinue were attacked by a superior force, and Siddhartha was felled by a sword-blow and sank into unconsciousness. Upon awakening, the pain of the wound caused him to think deeply about the gods for the very first time, and he wondered if he would die there among the bodies of his men. His “saviour” was one of a lower caste, so, as a Prince, was one he would never have deigned to touch. He was carried, unconscious, to a cave which served as the man’s family home. Upon awakening, he found he had been stripped of his princely clothing and left with beggar’s rags. Thus, through the experience of living for a time in each of India’s castes, Prince Siddhartha began his hard journey of learning --- to “enlightenment”.

When his wound had healed and strength returned, he set off to Kapilavastu, and discovered his Palace in ruins, and believed his family had been either killed or taken captive. No one knew what had become of his family, and the new Prince had promised a reward for Siddhartha, dead or alive. His overall appearance, however, meant that no one would believe that he was the Prince.

Siddhartha became the servant of a snake-charmer called Sariputta. Even though having an aversion to snakes, from him he learned about their lives and that of other animals. In his new world of severe deprivation, a servant was a step higher than being a beggar. He also learned from Sariputta the meaning of suffering, and a basic knowledge of India’s main gods.

He learned that Sariputta was a yogi, “a man who seeks to raise himself above the masses by pious sexercises”. He also heard for the first time about “guides”. After some months Sariputta told him that their paths must diverge. Before parting, Sariputta said to Siddhartha:

Siddhartha was now thirty-one years old. His next encounter was with a merchant called Amuruddba. With the money he had earned from Sariputta, he bought a new set of clothes and, now being with a merchant, realised he had skipped a whole caste, that of the tradesman. From Amuruddba, he heard about the concept of “transmigration of souls” ---- not the same as the true meaning of reincarnation! After experiencing what he needed with the merchant, Siddhartha’s time with him came to its end amicably.

Journeying once again, his next important encounter was with a Brahman who he came across tending a man who had been attacked, and whom they carried to the next town. Then the wise man turned to Siddhartha and asked him where he was bound. He answered that he was looking for work.

From the Brahman, Siddhartha learned that Brahma formed the apex of a triangle, with Shiva, “disposer of joy”, who carried out Brahma’s thoughts; Vishnu on the other hand was the destroyer of everything hostile, of all that sought to oppose the triangle of the gods. The key opponent to all order was Maro (Lucifer). The Brahman wanted to know more about Siddhartha.

Siddhartha recounted his life and realised that what Sariputta had called “guidance” ran through all his experiences like an unbroken thread. When he had finished, Maggalana laid his right hand on Siddhartha’s head in blessing.

Many months passed in which time Siddhartha learned all that the school could teach him. Out of himself however, he divined the existence of a Being higher than those of whom he had previously known.

Siddhartha Gautama left the school and continued on his path. Along the way, a small spotted dog attached itself to him. Even though it was considered unclean to touch a dog, he accepted it as a travelling companion, and with which he could teach that the place of all creatures was important. Weeks of solitude helped him to direct his thoughts upwards, and in reciprocal return, his “guides” revealed more to him.

Having understood that the main gods of India were not anywhere near the Highest, he was ready for perhaps the most important experience of his life and work: Enlightenment under the “tree”!

And thus, at the end of a particular day, as Gautama rested under a big solitary tree, he became immersed in the increasing spiritual vibrations that came towards and surrounded him. He was firstly permitted a “connection” with Maya, who had fled at the attack on his Palace, but had since died. “He thanked her with a full heart, but as a departed spirit, worlds away”.

Siddhartha is permitted a vision of the very Highest Abode that only a human being worthy enough may “see”. The All-Truth of Imanuel gives every explanation of those Sublime levels. That is where you, reader, will find that knowledge. Here, we simply point the way to IT!

Despite all the work that Siddhartha fulfilled in accordance with his calling and the instructions given to him; even the later continuation of his work by Gautama and the many Disciples that both brought to the task of building many schools and monasteries through which to further the great knowledge given to both; in the end the Worship of The Eternal One which they so strongly instituted soon fell away.

Instead, the land and people of India fell back into the Darkness of giving homage and, worse, worship, to “stone idols” --- as though the high missions of Krishna, Siddhartha and Gautama never existed.

There from the Pages of Time, the Book of Life; stands the true happening of how Siddhartha Buddha received “enlightenment under the tree”! It was not Gautama Buddha! The first disciple of Siddhartha was a former pupil with him at the Brahman school, whose name was Ananda. Shortly after Siddhartha’s high vision, he this time heard the voice of his guide:

Siddhartha found the kingdom under threat from a neighbouring Prince who coveted Bimbisara’s realm. Upon arrival at the court, Siddhartha discovered that he was expected. He questioned the King:

There, in that exchange, can be seen the age-old problem of lack of knowledge between Master and disciples. That is why all the teachings that came with the true Teachers and Prophets of God were never held onto by the disciples and followers. They did not possess the greater vision of the Teachers, and invariably reinterpreted the new knowledge simply to suit earthly considerations.

With the help of the Power of the Light, Siddhartha defeated the prince of the neighbouring kingdom. Through the peace and prosperity that King Bimbisara’s realm subsequently enjoyed, Siddhartha was able to extend the knowledge into neighbouring realms.

As he continued his life and mission, he destroyed idols and images and in the process transformed the thinking and beliefs of many of the peoples whose stone gods he had rendered impotent. Gaining a large following of disciples; with them he embarked on a region-wide program of the building of schools and temples.

The time came for Siddhartha to build a new city; one that would glorify The Lord of All the Worlds and be the primary teaching centre and focus for His Truth and thus, as word spread throughout the land, would be a magnet for seekers. One day on his journey he was led to a promontory below which extended a vast fertile plain through which the “sacred river” flowed.

Upon its completion, a ceremony of Consecration was held at which Siddhartha outlined specific laws and behaviours for all who wanted to live and work there.

The seeding of the true Laws by the Truth-Bringers for India, you already know in greater depth from PART II. Siddhartha became successor at the school in Utakamand after the death of the Head-Brahman. His acceptance of the position meant that he could put right all that was still wrong in the teachings there. On the long journey to the school, he once more came to the “tree” under which he received great enlightenment.

Once again he stopped there the night and besought the Light for more revelations --- which he was granted. In addition, he received the Sign of Truth “on his heart, and then on his forehead”, which to him felt as though it was “sinking into his very being”. The voice of the messenger spoke to him:

Siddhartha found the Brahman concept of reincarnation especially vexing. Even though we have well-explained it in the Discourse, The Law of Rebirth, let us join Siddhartha as he points out the great error that was taught at the time and which, very unfortunately, India for the most part has returned to!

Siddhartha then explained to them that the Law of Rebirth is a Grace. He told them their belief that; ‘now man, now animal, then again stone or plant, leads not further on but away from the straight path. Once human being, .... always human being.’

The transition from Siddhartha’s mission to the more profound one ordained for Rahula his grandson --- who was to become the greater Gautama --- was signalled by a vision and accompanying words from a woman Siddhartha had appointed as head of all the convents, and by whose death-bed both he and Rahula now stood.
