ATTAINER OF

the Crown of Enlightenment 

or Buddha-hood

through 

The Path of Wisdom and Compassion

Gautama became a Buddha, a revealer of the keys to 

Universal Consciousness

and liberation through the mind.

Through the utilisation and application of the techniques of

meditation, contemplation and reflection, 

the human mind can be trained to become the master convenor and the true seat of control of all desires and drives emanating from the human personality. 

All untamed worldly human desires are deemed to be the root cause of all suffering, causing the imprisonment of the self (and hence the Soul) through our mental/emotional attachment to them.

Gautama Buddha proclaimed a Way of Action through the Mind which  brings the means to achieve a central stillness and inner detachment within an landscape of outer activity.

The basic desires which drive the human being are supplanted in time with a more measured and tempered understanding of the Universal Order and Universal Nature of things. Progressively, an individuals outer human activities and processes then begin to come into harmony with the newly emerging inner order and wider universal understanding - the Universal Thinker begins to emerge.

As the human shifts its attention and focus  higher and higher, and deeper and deeper, from the outer to the inner, the flow of the conscious life force changes, causing and allowing the higher consciousness centres and deeper awareness to become active and take control.

This control is the key which slowly opens a doorway to the "Path of Higher Evolution" - which leads the human out of the welter of the realm of the lower order of human desires and ideas, into contact with those greater vista's of consciousness which are connected to the

Universal Order of Intelligence 

of which he is a part,

the Universal Mind - the Creative Principle.

This Way of Action  results in a complete refocussing of the inner directional compass of our personal evolution. 

The inner awakenings and changes which begin to take place however, continually stimulates a battle between the higher and the lower, and this battle will go on until the lower is completely vanquished, a new balance arises, and ultimately an Adept or Universal Human arises as the conqueror and over-comer of the "dragon" of the lower self.

In the process, the Over-comer transforms every particle of Being from the purely human into the Universal, thus rendering the self ("the temple not made with hands, but eternal in the heavens") into a new form.

Ultimately this new Self becomes a reflection and replication of the

Universal One Self or Universal Being

 

The awakening and development of "the mind" to its real place as the 

"capstone of the pyramid of life"

comes about through a process of Self  Realisation.

 That is, through the realisation of the Self beyond the mind - the I AM THAT I AM  - the Self which is the Real Self, or the Universal One Self.

This self realisation process (Way of Action) is a perfectly structured and naturally flowing outcome of the  universal and cosmic nature of things and a normal part of the progressive evolution of the purely human into the

The Higher Order of  Intelligence which pertains to Buddha-hood, is born out of the natural and ordinary mind of man.

This purely human mind becomes (through the awakening of the knowledge and awareness of the universal), consciously organised and coordinated into conformity with the 

Universal and Cosmic Order of Consciousness,

The Universal One Self

This Universal Order  is written in the mathematics and geometry of the Great Pyramid.

The very seed of Universal Consciousness is embedded within the human mind, and when and as it is awakened and developed through conscious effort, the Buddha Order of higher mental wisdom, understanding and knowledge, begins to pervade the human at all levels.

 

THE HEAD or CROWN CHAKRA 

IS THE REPOSITORY, CO-ORDINATOR, AND ORGANISER OF THIS COSMIC ORDER OR ENERGY.

Human consciousness is still as yet embryonic, and as it matures and develops towards the Universal it becomes "Enlightened".

 Gautama who became a Buddha ( Sanskrit = enlightened), is an advance forerunner come to Earth to reveal The Way to this enlightenment for the evolving human mortal consciousness.

His example par excellence, shows us that at our point of arrival at the Bodhi Tree - or Tree of Universal Life - under which  the human sits when ready, the Buddha Mind (Universal Enlightenment) is already waiting .and prepared.

The Path to the Bodhi Tree, as evidenced by the life of Gautama himself, is no easy path.

Find the seed within the human mind and from there it grows.

 

Finally, to the base of the trunk of this mystical tree came Gautama, at the point which is perfectly poised between 

"all of what is beneath and all of what is above" 

After many years of struggle, asceticism, enquiry, endeavour, expanding self realisation and self surrender, Gautama came to sit at this tree, and remained there until all the forces in his nature had been balanced, the stillness finally descended, and he became

TRANSFORMED,

THE OVER-COMER,

THE ENLIGHTENED ONE,

A BEING OF UNIVERSAL WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION.

 

This stillness became the gateway to Nirvana or Bliss or Universal Being.

Buddha-hood is the attainment of the the Crown of Wisdom. 

This Crown represents the balanced wisdom of the two Universal Principles of Father and the Mother or spirit and matter.

As the universal energies of life located in the Base chakra (Mother) are purified and converted from desire into wisdom, they are stimulated naturally to seek their counterpart located in the highest head centre, the wisdom of the Father.

When and as this occurs through their upliftment via the heart, these two polarities of Being are swept into action, causing a spontaneous and simultaneous meeting within the head and the heart, and the UNIVERSAL light of illumination begins to flash forth.

As the two lights of Wisdom and Love are further expanded, focussed and centred, they begin to radiate in the form of a ring or halo (Crown) glowing around the head, which reveals the intense inner beauty of the Buddha consciousness.

 

Meditation therefore, is a functional process carried out in the mind which allows the natural channels through which the Stream of our Universal Consciousness flows, to find its natural and ordered pathway into and through the human mind, clearing organising and re-configuring (transfiguring) the mind and the self as it does so.

Through meditation we can thus find our way into the dimension of Being which bridges, balances and unifies,

Above and Below

Inner and Outer

Father and Mother

blending and uniting the two polarities of selfhood into the 

The Middle Way

The Universal One

the place of perfect peace and

Bliss.
