In the Japanese Zen tradition the culmination of years of seated zazen meditation practice is said to sometimes produce a temporary state of extreme Bliss known as Keno which is precisely reminiscent of yoga’s Kundalini experience as well as ecstatic States achieved on various entheogens or psychedelics similar to the latent Coiled energy of Kundalini Zen teaches that ordinary man is unenlightened burdened by ego and must overcome this Human Condition through silent Stillness regularly and intentionally ceasing the stream of incessant thought via meditation allows the brain waking access to the rare cortical Theta and Delta States usually only achieved During sleep by quieting the monkey mind of unrelenting thoughts and altering Consciousness through deep breathing techniques a Keno or Kundalini experience can be triggered even without the yogic Bodywork described previously this ecstatic euphoric experience while incredible and worth striving for should not be seen as the End goal of yogic or Zen training but rather like a well-deserved reward along the path letting the practitioner know they are heading in the right direction zen master katsuki Saka asks in his book Zen training methods and philosophy if Keno was the ultimate aim of Zen training why not simply take drugs to Achieve the same condition he insists that repeated experience of the state of absolute somat is the true essential requirement and ultimate aim of such mindfulness practice not Keno Saka writes that Keno has been presented as the ultimate aim but Zen training continues endlessly to cast off the delusive way of ordinary Consciousness while sitting on a cushion in a quiet room is only the beginning for many perhaps there has been something unattractive in the notion not infrequently conveyed of the Zen student as a person who subjects himself to a prolonged highly disciplined form of training usually in the artificial Conditions of a monastery in order to undergo some kind of private revelatory experience the student must learn to live in The Ordinary World while yet retaining the quality of his experience of absolute samati so the keno or Kundalini experience should not not be viewed as the end goal or final product Of meditation and yoga but more like a signpost that the practitioner has reached a certain level similar to Martial Arts students receiving their black belt a black belt does not mean Marshal training is complete or that the practitioner has reached their Peak far from it the receiving of one’s black Belt simply means they have completed all the basics and are now ready to spend a lifetime perfecting them on the spiritual path our main focus should be the blossoming of compassion the dissolution of the ego the refinement of character and other loftier Pursuits than a mere Keno or Kundalini experience in Christian esotericism There are the concepts of seven levels of Heaven seven levels of Hell seven deadly sins and seven Heavenly virtues which directly correspond with the seven yoga chakras for Kundalini to rise the yogi cleanses and opens his chakras through a process of not only physiological but also psychological self-development composed of seven steps Each belonging to a physical location in the body for example the first root chakra related to security and survival when closed corresponds to the deadly sin of greed but when opened corresponds to the Heavenly virtue of generosity the second sacral chakra related to sexuality and relationships when closed corresponds to the deadly Sin of lust but when opened corresponds to the Heavenly virtue of Chastity thus a selfless person who sincerely and diligently develops all seven virtues helps open themselves up to Kundalini Awakening and is allowed access to the seven Heavens whereas a selfish person who completely and unremorseful indulges in all seven vices Conversely closes themselves off from Kundalini and finds themselves in Hell the concept of seven heavens and seven Hells is nearly ubiquitous in the world’s religions Judaism Christianity Islam Hinduism jism and Buddhism all reference this idea and color it with connotations of the afterlife in the microcosm we create our own personal Heavens and Hells based on our developments of Virtues or Indulgence in vices in the macrocosm these life choices and character traits are then corresponded with afterlife worlds seven ascending levels of heaven or seven descending levels of Hell depending on each individual’s karma for example in the ancient Mesopotamian religion Earth Was presented as a flat dis covered by seven domes each one containing different celestial bodies these corresponded to the macroscopic seven Heavens whereas the seven chakras within the individual corresponded to the microscopic seven Heavens these also meshed and correspond quite well with maso’s hierarchy of needs which place Upon a series of steps the various physical emotional psychological and spiritual Necessities for a fully developed fully realized human being just like the yoga chakra system and the esoteric Christian system maso’s hierarchy begins with base physiological needs like food and water at the bottom then safety needs like being secure from Danger near the heart chakra we find belonging needs like being loved and accepted along with esteem needs like being recognized and respected as we reach the higher chakras we find cognitive needs like knowledge and exploration as well as aesthetic needs like order and Beauty then once all the lower physical emotional and Psychological needs have been met finally the crown chakra of self-actualization the spiritual work of finding self-fulfillment and realizing one’s true potential can begin just as the rising Kundalini relates to the Seven Virtues and seven Heavens Gnostic Mystics like Samuel an war and George GFF wrote of the kunda buffer and Its relation to the seven vices and seven Hells war posited that just as virtuous practice causes the ascending Serpent of Kundalini to travel upwards from the apex of the sacrum the negative indulgences and vices contrarily causes the descending kab buffer serpent to travel downwards into the kixs the tale Of Satan in his book The Elimination of Satan’s tale and many others he details the parallels between Christianity and yoga and describes the karmic self-development necessary to become a fully realized and enlightened Human Being John Phillips wrote the enterprising Mariner who ventured first from the shelter of the shore to steer Their flimsy vessels out of sight of land were haunted by many superstitious fears one of those was the legendary load Stone Mountain that had the power they thought to seize a vessel against all the tug of wind and tide and draw it to destruction on its Shores sin is a Loadstone mountain we feel ourselves drawn by that mountain against all the counter pull of effort and resolve until we are Shipwrecked on its Shores the Christian seven deadly sins and seven Heavenly virtues are just one spiritual system one set of K aric suggestions but certainly one well worth considering There are different ideas about which sins and virtues directly apply to which chakras but the exact ordering is far less important than the overall moral message the first deadly sin related to the root chakra of security and survival is greed or avarice which is the inordinate or insatiable desire for Material gain such as money status and power beyond what is necessary or deserved greedy people may increase their material gains through such a vice but they will never make any spiritual gains or succeed in developing the first Heavenly virtue generosity which naturally appears once one renounces and Repents the sin of greed generosity also known as Charity or laress is the virtue of being unattached to material possessions and sharing selflessly the second deadly sin Rel related to the sacral chakra of sexuality and relationships is lust the intense sexual desire for people or situations purely for personal pleasure The wanton ejaculation of our most sacred life-giving substance is ill- advised and a subject too deep to delve into here but suffice to say anyone serious about improving both their physiological and psychological well-being should try to abstain from masturbation and promiscuity by doing so and effectively renouncing and repenting from the sin of Lust the Heavenly virtue of Chastity naturally arises Chastity is sexual Purity achieved either through celibacy through Tantra and or a loving partner the third deadly sin related to the solar plexus chakra of willpower self-discipline and self-esteem is sloth also known as aidia or apathy sloth is the habitual disinclination to exertion Or quite simply laziness it is characterized by the neglect of one’s responsibilities and related to Melancholy and depression by renouncing and repenting the deadly sin of sloth however the Heavenly virtue of diligence is able to manifest diligence is defined as carefulness and persistent effort in one’s duties a good work ethic the Fourth deadly sin related to the heart chakra of love compassion and acceptance is wrath uncontrolled feelings of anger Rage or hatred wrath usually reveals itself in the wish to seek revenge the vengeful spiteful person under the grips of Wrath tends to be not only aggressive and violent to others but Self-destructive through things like drug and alcohol abuse or suicide one who renounces and repents the deadly sin of Wrath manifests the Heavenly virtue of patience or forbearance patience is the level of endurance one can have before succumbing to negativity tolerance in the face of provocation without responding in anger or annoyance And the ability to endure difficult circumstances without hastiness or impetuousness the fifth deadly sin related to the throat chakra of growth and expression is gluttony the overindulgence or overc consumption of food drink and other consumables the so-called fat that acceptance movement might as well be called the gluttonous entitlement or addiction acceptance Movement once a glutton renounces and repents their sin however they can begin to develop the virtue of temperance Temperance is moderation balance and voluntary self-restraint restraint from retaliation through forgiveness restraint from arrogance through modesty restraint from excesses through prudence and restraint from cravings and addictions through calmness and self-control the sixth deadly sin Related to the third eye chakra of intuition and wisdom is Envy which similar to Greed and lust is characterized by insatiable desire Envy is sadness or anger at seeing another’s Good Fortune resentful covetousness towards the possessions or traits of someone else once fully renounced and repented however the sin of Envy Transforms into the virtue of gratitude gratefulness or thankfulness is the feeling of appreciation felt and shown for one’s life and to the givers of kindness help or gifts the seventh deadly sin related to the crown chakra of beingness and Karma is pride or hubris having an irrationally high sense Of one’s personal value status or accomplishments failing to acknowledge the accomplishments of others and believing oneself fundamentally Superior to others Pride can also have a positive connot ation however referring to an appropriate sense of esteem for one’s own or another’s choices and actions which is certainly not a sin making Hubris a more accurate term once hubris is overcome renounced and repented the Heavenly virtue of humility can be developed humility is quite simply being humble it is the opposite of narcissism having low self-preoccupation and low self-regard but without being self-deprecating uncons iously allowing ourselves to engage in sinful thoughts And behaviors disconnects us from our higher chakras prevents us from developing real integrity and restricts our ability to become truly virtuous human beings consciously ceasing sinful thoughts and behaviors however connects us to our higher chakras AIDS Us in developing integrity and allows access to Virtue and veritable Enlightenment Beyond this all the world’s religious systems have some conception and promise of karma or Divine judgment whereby individuals are guaranteed a Heavenly or hellish afterlife based on our actions here why carelessly continue Indulgence in vices and sinful actions at the expense of virtue integrity and potentially eternity literalist Christians read the Bible and Specifically The Book of Revelations as an ominous Doomsday Prophecy whereby Humanity’s highest virtue and the only answer to evil is waiting around until a half God half man literally floats down from the clouds to save them in the world they believe the devil will bring hell on Earth for seven years of Great Tribulation with literal tortures worse than any horror movie and that it is inevitable but if they simply believe in Jesus have a priest dunk their heads underwater and or say a prayer accepting Christ into their hearts that these acts are sufficient enough in the eyes of God For for them to be timely teleported up to heaven with the other literalist Christians and spared the horrific tortures destined for all non-believers if read with understanding of the spiritual symbology numerology and allegories purposely encoded however the true deeper meaning of Revelations is revealed once again the author is Imploring for Humanity to awaken Kundalini and their seven chakras to renounce vices and develop virtues to disassociate with their lower carnal ego Desires in order to access a higher level of spiritual consciousness Revelations 1:20 states that the mystery of the Seven Stars which thou saw in my right hand and the Seven golden candlesticks the Seven Stars are the Angels of the seven churches and the Seven candlesticks which thou saw are the seven churches the meaning of the seven churches and seven candlesticks certainly remains a mystery for those unaware of Kundalini Yoga and the chakra system but for anyone acquainted with this ancient Symbolism the only mystery is why the masses continue to misinterpret these scriptures as literal doomsday prophecies Revelations 4:5 reads and out of the throne preceded Lightnings and thunderings and voices and there were seven lamps of fire burning Before the Throne which are the seven spirits of God this is another clear description of The fiery electrical force of galini Rising through the seven chakras for those with ears to hear and eyes to see Revelations 51 and2 reads and I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside sealed with Seven Seals and I Saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice who is worthy to open the book and to loose the Seven Seals thereof this is a call to action for any who wish to be truly free and saved from the the addictions of the lower mind and egoistic desires the angel with a loud Voice is your higher self calling you to look within and on the backside and to loose the Seven Seals for as long as Kundalini remains asleep and dorment coiled around the root chakra humanity is doomed to subsisting in a carnal chaotic materialistic condition the chakras are referred to as seals which Require loosening because in Humanity’s Cur condition we are not born with fully open and active chakras instead we are born with original sin and Seven Seals and only by Awakening Kundalini to clean out the emotional baggage and mental blockages from our Collective unconscious can we rise above the Fallen State only by renouncing and repenting from vices addictions and materialistic desires can the ego dissolve and break the Seven Seals Revelations is imploring the leer to take responsibility for our spiritual growth and not to Simply wait for Satan to bring Hell in a hand basket the great and terrible day of the Lord Promised in Revelations that literalist Christians are so simultaneously dreading and welcoming both scared and excited for must be the most grossly misunderstood allegory in the Bible the seven years of trials and tribulations are not some fatalistic prophecy of Humanity’s ultimate demise but rather an epic allegory of the death throws of the Ego and the lower carnal mind upon opening the Seven Seals likewise the great and terrible day of the Lord is nothing but the final dissolution of the ego and the death of one’s lower self according to ancient esoteric thought each chakra contains spiritual life lessons and as Kundalini Rises certain Trials and tribulations are inevitable but by inviting and trans sending them we successfully raise our Consciousness to progressively more enlightened States this is the true Rapture and second coming the real baptism of Being Born Again The Awakening of Kundalini by purifying your temple to house Christ Consciousness within Genesis is about The generation of the higher self a metaphorical manual for Spiritual Development and Revelations is only a death sentence for the lower self an obituary for the ego Video Information

Build Breakdown: (Skip to composition if you’re not fond of reading)
Ever heard of loadshedding? Well, if it hits your country, prepare yourself for the worse if you’re a builder that scoffs at the idea of backing up your work on a regular basis. Regional power outages can range from 4 to ten hours of no electricity at ANY given time. Pissing your pants won’t alleviate the problem, so pushing through with commitment will likely be the only ephemeral solution if you live in Southern Africa at present. Having lost a crucial part of my progress is partly why this particular build took so long to complete. Considering the state of affairs essentially grounding its protesting denizens, I might as well be neutral on the topic and do what I love in my free time despite the political turbulence. Geopolitical nonsense aside, I can finally put my first build of the year to rest with a detailed touch.
Initially intended to be a cottage, I progressively shifted my approach towards a formalized expression with an amalgamation of different structural elements that expands upon the diversity of what is being presented. Seeing that the inclusion of sandstone is nothing to write home about in terms of palette and gradients, the mixture of darker elements clearly worked from my personal perspective. The transitional quality and value of sandstone in this case were a treat that replenished the cookie jar from start to finish, intermittently paired and layered with different flavors that made the build come to life in her own respect.
Aside from past projects and selective commissions, I haven’t really meddled with Mesas before. That being the case, it naturally follows that my current choice would gravitate towards the diversity of different biomes with a framework of survival in mind. Instead of focusing on aesthetics, which is abundantly present, the main goal was to predominately add a level of function and sensible light distribution to the overall expression of the build without 1) breaking the scale, and 2) dotting light sources beyond the “Holy shit” level.
Although I was partially satisfied with a single floor, adding three more was honestly warranted by extension of walking the extra mile for those who show interest. Ironically, the interiors almost matched the amount of time spend raising the exterior from the ground, often whipped out and reconstructed entirely because of external incoherence tangent to the exterior. This is partially blamed on the lack planning, seeing that the build didn’t follow a predetermined direction aside from a randomly constructed baseline that made the rest of the build more prevalent with progress. Despite it, I carefully constructed all interiors with a critical eye, incorporating invisible frames, barriers, and WE methods to reach the desired result.
Color selection on flooring and wall diversity had to take its course, simply because I didn’t have a scale to work with that afforded two-layered walls that would have applied as flip tones. Besides, terracotta variations arranged as rugs helped with color scattering that produced the illusion of filled spaces in wide areas. Underground channels and anachronistic features were grafted into the build for an extra touch, complimented by dangers and hidden chests. The nuances of the build is best preserved for personal exploration, so a total breakdown would be a bit of a stretch.
As always, a visual presentation on YT will display the build from my FOV, which will omit the clandestine aspects of the construct for obvious reasons. Hope you all have a prosperous New Year filled with abundant success and spiritual insight. If there ever were a time to change old habits, it’s most certainly now!
