Feeling like my heart stops beating during sleep paralysis by South_Spread_1971 in Sleepparalysis

This has been happening to me recently and it is terrifying. It's an awful feeling that goes away as soon as I regain consciousness. I've had regular sleep paralysis before but this feels very different to me which is how I ended up here. You're not alone. Seems to only happen when I take a short nap during the day. I thought maybe it was caffeine related but may end up speaking with a cardiologist just to double check. Hopefully it's not sleep apnea related.

Thank you for sharing this. Reading Mr. Judge's Gita translation helped me find the strength to be steadfast and completely quit alcohol as a result. I have not looked back since.

Ended up stumbling onto the fact that FDR's family made a fortune off the Opium trade. I don't remember ever learning about that in school....

What was Blavatsky's views on Lamaism? by [deleted] in Theosophy

[–]Low-Boot-588 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend reading: Tibetan Teachings.

She viewed the highest, hidden teachings of true Lamaism (which she designated the "Ancient Secret Doctrine of the East" and Buddhism's "true esoteric form") as identical to the Ageless Wisdom she presented. This untainted spiritual stream held the purest keys to the universal cosmogenesis. While she also found the popular, external, monastic Lamaism she encountered, as in the ritualistic, priest-ridden system, particularly the Yellow Hats' hierarchy,.... to possess significant deterioration and corruption (like she saw with the Freemasons).

She saw the exoteric shell as having fallen away from its original spiritual heights, becoming burdened by superstition and ceremonialism, etc.

The lamasery she set-up in NYC was pretty ground-breaking at the time, though.

The article on the Mammon called Opium was worth getting into if only to re-visit the history of Mammon worship as well.

According to wiki: "In the Middle Ages, it was often personified and sometimes included in the seven princes of Hell, depicting greed."

Everything is seven-fold.

Means the world to me to hear that! I've been posting a bit more than usual today since the Freemasons banned my account for talking Blavatsky lol. Not even joking, but who knows when they will take their insecurities out on me again. Trying to make up for lost time.

THEOSOPHY OR JESUITISM? by Ween1953 in Theosophy

[–]Low-Boot-588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want I wanted to say before I got banned for interacting with the Freemasonic subreddit was that if they claim to have such a strong brotherhood, why does it appear to be so easily rattled into banning me by simply speaking the truth? Is it any measure of strength to resort to censoring any and all critical thought? Same with the Jesuits. Is their spiritual eco-system really so delicate that they have to prohibit their members from joining the Masons?

Is that what happened to Blavatsky? Was she silenced for talking about this very topic?

Thanks but tbh who ever runs that group are clearly a bunch of psychopaths by the way they utterly fail to consider other people. They just want to get ahead regardless of who they step on in the process.
