Mahasiddha
500BC
The
following picture of a statue of Guatama Buddha is in Sarnath, India
where Buddha first taught several Brahmin Monks the Buddhist Dharma. To
many Hindus, Buddhism is a lot like Protestant Christianity is to the
Catholic Church to traditional Hindus, so since this Buddhist Tradition
started in India it is the legacy of all modern day Indians in India.
The 8 fold path of the end of suffering leading to enlightenment is a
rational form and strong civilizing form which also relates to humanism
which has it's roots in Christianity. Though many say Buddha did not
believe in God, I think I find that he believed that by taking full
responsibility for all our actions that "in a sense all responsible
beings in the universe together are sort of like God in actuality". So
this is my personal view of Buddha. However, others likely have very
different views.

Enlightenment
Following this incident, Gautama was famously seated under a pipal tree - now known as the Bodhi tree - in Bodh Gaya, India, when he vowed never to arise until he had found the truth.[33] Kaundinya and four other companions, believing that he had abandoned his search and become undisciplined, left. After a reputed 49 days of meditation, at the age of 35, he is said to have attained Enlightenment.[33][34] According to some traditions, this occurred in approximately the fifth lunar month, while, according to others, it was in the twelfth month. From that time, Gautama was known to his followers as the Buddha or "Awakened One." ("Buddha" is also sometimes translated as "The Enlightened One.") He is often referred to in Buddhism as Shakyamuni Buddha, or "The Awakened One of the Shakya Clan."
According to Buddhism, at the time of his awakening he realized complete insight into the cause of suffering, and the steps necessary to eliminate it. These discoveries became known as the "Four Noble Truths",[34] which are at the heart of Buddhist teaching. Through mastery of these truths, a state of supreme liberation, or Nirvana, is believed to be possible for any being. The Buddha described Nirvna as the perfect peace of a mind that's free from ignorance, greed, hatred and other afflictive states,[34] or "defilements" (kilesas). Nirvana is also regarded as the "end of the world", in that no personal identity or boundaries of the mind remain. In such a state, a being is said to possess the Ten Characteristics, belonging to every Buddha. end quote.
I'm trying an experiment. If it works I will keep it here and then put a full copy of it at my dragonofcompassion.com archive site for short stories that I have written. I tend to tie all my short stories together into one Cosmology so my style is more like a Science fiction style that covers the whole Galaxy and includes characters from other planets and non-humans as well as humans and humanoids from other planets. In this experiement a 15 year old young Sanskrit Scholar named Padma around the year 500 BC who lives in Sarnath, India (Near Benares) now Benares is called Varanasi, India. His Uncle is a Brahmin Monk who has recently converted to Buddha's teaching at Sarnath. He is sponsoring Padma to join him to travel with Buddha and to write down Buddha's experiences and to chronicle them as they travel with Guatama Buddha. I was there in Sarnath and Varanasi early January 1986 with my family and the Tibetan Lama that was showing us the place where Buddha became enlightened in Bodhgaya while we received the 4 day initiation into the Kalachakra Tantra which deals with Shambhala for which around 500,000 people in native dress from all over the region including Tibet were there for this personal initiation by the Dalai Lama. Then we traveled from Boghgaya by the nearest train to Varanasi and traveled with our Tibetan Lama guide and his translator to Sarnath, Varanasi, Nalanda University(the ruins) to the Taj Mahal by train, to New Delhi by Train, and later to Amritsar by train, and then by bus to Dharamsala, India where the Dalai Lama and thousands of Tibetan refugees live. As a reference:

These three wikipedia sites might be useful for the serious student or those just interested in the background of all this as a starting point for studying more about the Kalachakra and Shambhala and Tibetan Buddhism.
Padma was excited. He just turned 15 years old and was a Sanskrit Scholar. His uncle had just told him he would be able to come with him and follow the wonderful new teacher, Guatama Buddha, so that Padma could chronicle the events and write down as much as possible of what Guatama Buddha would do and say. This was the single most amazing thing in his life! To follow the renknowned Guatama Buddha who was a Prince of Lumbini who had become first an ascetic for years until he became now 35 years old. Now, he was telling people he had become enlightened and more and more each day believed him. His logic was flawless. He had been an ascetic which is very respected path in Padma's tradition of spiritual science and evolution over thousands of years through reincarnation. So, Padma felt he was moving towards a whole new paradigm. He was on the ground floor of the next big thing on earth. There would soon be thousands and millions following the tenents of the Buddha. more later.
Note: Though I'm off to a good start it's now 1 am and I've got to get some rest.
2nd note. Though I have been initiated into many many Buddhist practices by Tibetan Lamas I am not really a Buddhist Scholar. So, if you are one please forgive the liberties I must take as an author. I know what I want to say regarding Padma's life. However, at what point different teachings arose I'm not sure that Buddha spoke of. By having Padma actually being there listening live to these teachings it is my hope that you will experience what it was like listening to these teachings yourselves. Since I am an intuitive likely I'm writing how those actually there likely felt but without the full cultural context of speaking another language, living in another age and culture etc. However, the feeling and experience of being there likely will carry through in what I write. Was I there in another body? Quite likely. So, I am likely speaking from past life memories as well. end 2nd note.
Padma dutifully followed his uncle and Sakyamuni Buddha or "Siddhartha" to wherever he was permitted to follow. One day the opportunity came to hear the Lotus Sutra for the first time as it was spoken by the Buddha:
And on that occasion the Lord uttered the following stanzas:
1. Inconceivable is the power to promote the weal of the world possessed by those who, firmly established in transcendent knowledge, by means of their unlimited sight display their magic faculty in order to gladden all living beings on earth.
2. They extend their tongue over the whole world, darting thousands of beams to the astonishment of those to whom this effect of magic is displayed and who are making for supreme enlightenment.
3. The Buddhas made a noise of expectoration and of snapping the fingers, (and by it) called the attention of the whole world, of all parts of the world in the ten directions of space.
4. Those and other miraculous qualities they display in their benevolence and compassion (with the view) that the creatures, gladly excited at the time, may (also) keep the Sutra after the complete extinction of the Sugata.
5. Even if I continued for thousands of kotis of ons speaking the praise of those sons of Sugata who shall keep this eminent Sutra after thc extinction of the Leader of the world,
6. I should not have terminated the enumeration of their qualities; inconceivable as the qualities of infinite space are the merits of those who constantly keep this holy Sutra.
7. They behold me as well as these chiefs, and the Leader of the world now extinct; (they behold) all these numerous Bodhisattvas and the four classes.
8. Such a one now here propitiates me and all these leaders, as well as the extinct chief of Ginas and the others in every quarter.
9. The future and past Buddhas stationed in the ten points of space will all be seen and worshipped by him who keeps this Sutra.
10. He who keeps this Sutra, the veritable law, will fathom the mystery of the highest man; will soon comprehend what truth it was that was arrived at on the terrace of enlightenment.
11. The quickness of his apprehension will be unlimited; like the wind he will nowhere meet impediments; he knows the purport and interpretation of the law, he who keeps this exalted Sutra.
12. He will, after some reflection, always find out the connection of the Sutras spoken by the leaders; even after the complete extinction of the leader he will grasp the real meaning of the Sutras.
13. He resembles the moon and the sun; he illuminates all around him, and while roaming the earth in different directions he rouses many Bodhisattvas.
14. The wise Bodhisattvas who, after hearing the enumeration of such advantages, shall keep this Sutra after my complete extinction will doubtless reach enlightenment. end quote from Lotus sutra:
from
http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/lotus/lot20.htm
After Padma heard all this and wrote it all down as faithfully as possible he wondered at what it all meant. When he heard the words he imagined heaven realms and worlds like earth throughout the stars with Bodhisattvas upon them. He wondered if his thoughts about all this were correct. He asked his uncle and he said, "I think your interpretation is as good as the finest in the land. I think you may be gifted in some ways in the direction of our Lord Buddha himself." With this, Padma was taken directly into the presence of the Buddha and Buddha was asked about Padma.
Buddha looked into Padma and said, "Though I am mortal, you will not be mortal. You will go on and live for thousands of years. Your names will change and you will always serve all life in the universe by serving the dharma. Beings like myself burn out quickly like a candle flame that brings light for all to see by. But the dharma that burns within you Padma will go on and on in secret and you will secretly save mankind from themselves again and again. I will be with you in spirit and I will strike down and subjagate all who stand against the living Dharma through you. You will live on and on in human form and will almost never die for thousands and thousands of years."
Padma thought this was completely crazy and said to his Lord the Buddha. "How can I believe what you say? I was trained to always be logical and pragmatic in everything I do? How can I accept all this?"
The Buddha smiled and said, "I would not expect anything less from a Dharma Immortal. Your words give away to me that I was right about you!" With this Buddha smiled and spoke with the next person who needed his counseling.
Padma spoke to his uncle and said, "What can I do with this?" His uncle who now was becoming scared of his nephew said, "If Buddha is correct, you will have to watch everyone of us die while you live on as a dharma immortal. You likely will have to change your name many many times to stay this dharma immortal in secret. Do you understand my nephew? Buddha just blessed you and put the human race in your care."
Padma couldn't take all this in and so he walked away to the nearest stream and began to sing to the spirits in the stream. The spirits came to him and sang, "Here comes the secret Dharma immortal who all of us will find ways to keep alive. He comes to save all of us from suffering. Though no human understands still we and he will always understand, our Dharma immortal will save us all.
Note: To a western mind this might be very unusual. If any of you have been out in the country in India in the last 50 years, you might have met people who thought in this way in regard to nature spirits. Many people out in the country all over the world have their senses opened up like this because they haven't had to be closed like living in large cities tends to do to people all over. end note.
Through the years now Padma went from 15 to 35 and then to age 60 or so when the great Buddha passed away. He specifically asked for Padma to speak with. Padma now a much older and wiser man walked carefully to Buddha's side to see him one last time.
Buddha said, "Do you remember when I told you that you would live thousands of years?" Padma said, "Yes."
Buddha: "I want you to call yourself now Padmasambhava which means "Lotus Born" "born of the Lotus". The secret between you and I is that you were born out of the realizations you received from hearing the Lotus Sutra the first time it was given, Padma. Do you understand now?"
Padmasambhava said, "Yes, my Lord. I have become what you wish me to be. I am now a Mahasiddha. I will always work for the end of suffering of all beings in the whole universe past, present and future. I have watched all my relatives including your devotee, my uncle, pass away. I understand fully what you meant that day the Lotus Sutra was born in my heart."
The Buddha said, "You will be my secret agent through time, saving civilizations by supernatural means, my Mahasiddha. Remember to watch for the next Buddha, Jesus Christ in the middle East within 400 years."
Padma said, "I will, my Lord. But how should I help the next Buddha that will be called the Christ?"
Buddha smiled and said, "You will know by then. You are the Lotus Sutra Born spontaneous one. You will live from the spontaneous heart of the Buddha and be empowered by all the most powerful Buddhas in the Universe Past, Present and Future. Be spontaneous and fear not."
Padma knew it was time for him to withdraw. He had been present for the passing of many family members and friends by now. He saw the signs of Buddha's Passing. He stepped back so other devotees could say goodbye.
When the time came, hundreds of years later, he came to baby Jesus as one of the Three Wise men bearing gifts. He blessed and protected Jesus as he grew up with all the blessings and powers of a Mahasiddha until Jesus told him one day, "I can summon the angels to protect myself now. I'm 15 like you were when you followed Buddha as one of his Chroniclers and scribes. With this Padmasambhava stepped back from these duties and said, "Remember Jesus, I'm here to help protect you whenever you need it." Jesus said, "You have been an uncle to me, Padma, tell Buddha I'm forever thankful for your unwavering protection so I could finish my work here on Earth for the future of Mankind and all life on Earth and beyond."
After this, Padma became more a member of the Multitudes that followed Jesus everywhere. He was friends with Jesus' disciples who saw him as an ancient holy man from India visiting the Holy Land who also followed Jesus. They thought he was there to study healing techniques with Jesus. Though this was also true, he was also there to help Jesus succeed in any way he could.
One day, the prophecies came true and Padma saw Jesus hanging on the Cross. Padma walked up as close as he could as Jesus wished to speak to him. Jesus said, "Protect my people all over the world, Padma, just like you did for Buddha. Even though most don't know it, Buddha's people and my people are the same kind people at core."
Tears came to Padma's eyes, he was losing another teacher. The pain of the loss of everyone he loved now for almost 500 years or more was almost more than he could bear. And so he tried to comfort himself and all present as Jesus' spirit passed out of his body. Since as a Mahasiddha he could become invisible to others, he followed the Roman soldiers to the tomb of Jesus and spoke with the Angels who gathered there overnight. The angels said, "We are here to resurrect Jesus. Though most won't understand for now, eventually many will. We thank you for your help and support of Jesus all these many years." Padma always liked angels because they took away so much pain and loss of being human when you were around them. They kept him in a very euphoric place all night long until Jesus resurrected out of the tomb. Archangel Gabriel threw the stone back suddenly and all the roman soldiers except the officer ran away. The Roman Centurian knelt before Jesus and was blessed and absolved of all wrong doing karmicly. After all, he was only under orders. At heart he had been a Christian already 2 years. Tears streamed down Padma's face at this realization and of what all this would mean over the next thousands of years for mankind and on into the future.
Chapter 2 Christianity Spreads Around the World
Padma noticed even when he reached Rome with Joseph of Arimathea with the Holy Grail of Jesus en route to Glastonbury Tull in England that Christianity already was the main "underground" religion in Rome even just after Jesus' apparent passing into Heaven. However, Padma knew something as an immortal Mahasiddha that most did not. Jesus was a Mahasiddha to in addition to being the son of God. Jesus could die and then raise his body from the dead and then continue to walk around the earth and minister to mankind.
For example, Padma was aware when Jesus after raising his body from the dead walked across the Atlantic Ocean and ministered to the American Indians of his time. He visited the Hopi Indians and gave them the Blue Corn that they still grow today. He walked across the Pacific Ocean and came on shore at Kalapana on the Big Island of Hawaii, they called him Caimu and he taught them just like he ministered to those in the Middle East. Then finally after ministering to all major groups on Earth he met Mary Magdelene, his wife in Cairo and they and eventually Jesus and his children made there way to India where he was known as Saint Issa. If you study ancient Aramaic, Jesus' native language his name was Yesu, or Yeshua. It is a very small step through transliteration (changing of languages) to Saint Issa which is what the locals called him when the came to him as a guru in India after his resurrection in Israel. Jesus had many children in India with Mary Magdelene and finally passed away in his 80s in India. Padma was by his side as well as Mary Magdelene and many of Jesus' children and many of his devotees. He motioned for Padma to come speak with him. Jesus looked into Padma's eyes and said, "You have served me well, Padma. You protected me until I became a man at age 15. You taught me how to invoke the angels to protect me and those around me from harm. You have been like a spiritual uncle to me always. Now I must leave this body just as Buddha did before me. Protect all the Holy forms of Buddhism and Christianity around the world. Both religions will morph into many different forms, but they both are the basis of the hope of the world. Buddha brought compassion and I brought Forgiveness and Christian Brotherhood to all who accept it. The whole world will benefit from our teachings throughout hundreds of thousands of years and more of human civilization and evolution both here on earth and beyond. You will see it all, Padma. Protect Buddhism and Christianity in all its useful forms as long as you live. Protect the truth wherever you find it. Invoke the angels to protect the innocents so they may grow strong as adults like I did wherever you find them. In spirit I will protect you in all ways just like Buddha did. You are now my secret emisary here on earth as well as Buddha's. Go on and live for God our Father always."
Tears came to Padma's eyes as once again he saw one of his beloved Gurus pass away once more. It was different this time somehow. When Buddha passed away Padma had only been about 60 years old, but now he was over 500. He wondered what the future would bring.
Padma Part 2
After Yesu or Yeshua (depending upon which dialect of Aramaic you spoke then) passed away in India in his 80s and asked Padma to watch over the human race in the physical world for him. Padma had been a Dharma Immortal ever since Buddha had spontaneously brought the Lotus Sutra onto Earth. While listening to the Lotus Sutra Spontaneously flow from Buddha's mouth while Padma transcribed it into Sanskrit he had become enlightened without fully understanding it. But, then again he was only 15 years old at this point. However, by the time Buddha had passed away Padma had realized the fullness of his enlightenment and was around 60 years old. And by that time had become a relatively immortal Mahasiddha. As a dharma immortal Buddha then asked Padma to watch over the human race in the future. 500 years later Yeshua asked the same thing as he too, passed away in India after resurrecting his body earlier in his life in the middle East.
Padma thought back to when he had been one of the three Wise men visiting the baby under the Star. He thought of watching the baby grow up safely and protecting that child supernaturally from harm as Buddha had directed him 500 years before. He remembered the day that Yeshua had told him at 15 when he became an adult, "Padma, let me invoke the angels now to protect me now that I am a man."
Padma smiled at this thought as it reminded him of the day Buddha had spoken the Lotus Sutra for the very first time and how much his own life had changed at that point. Now his two primary Teachers and Gurus had passed over into the dharma realms that some call heaven.
As a Mahasiddha he lived in both heaven and earth simultaneously. It was the way of true Mahasiddhas.
It was like walking on the edge of a razor, you had to have very calloused feet to do this or be light as a feather, or both. Padma laughed at this thought as it sort of made everything silly in a Zen sort of way. Even though life was a joke, it was after all a serious joke. One time deep in a cave meditating for several years his skin had turned green from drinking only nettles and water, because that was all he had to eat or drink. But he was deeply moving towards the final realization of becoming a mahasiddha.
He found himself out near the Orion Nebula soul traveling one day and he met a being that told him that it had created his soul. He said, "Are you the God or Buddha that created everything?" The being said, "I created your soul and I am one of many of the gods of the universe that work for the one true God of the universe." Padma thought about this with tears in his eyes. So he said, "So, there actually is a hierarchy to it all?" The God said, "There is a spontaneous hierarchy to it all." Padma thought about this and said, "What does that mean?" The God said, "Time and space isn't real. This is what Buddha was trying to tell you when the Lotus Sutra began to free your soul from rebirth." Padma's being started to shiver with the reality of this realization. And so he said, "Then I really am a Dharma Immortal?"
The God reached out and put his hand on Padma's heart and said, "Your heart is the Buddha mind of the Lotus Sutra's simplicity. I empower you now to help the whole human race into enlightenment over thousands of years. Your only reason to be immortal is the eventual enlightenment of all mankind. Use the supernatural gifts I give you to help all mankind always. If you misuse any of these gifts it will be instant death. However, since I see deeply into you that you experience all beings on earth already as your children and as your family I have no fear of the dharma immortals misuse at all. Go, and enlighten mankind. Protect the Buddha, then protect Yeshua until they come back here to me. But no matter what, protect mankind and all beings on earth for the rest of your life as long as that may be."
The Green Padma said, "I will, My Lord, My Creator!"
Since Padma was Bi-locating from his meditation Cave in the Himalayas he felt his body shivering with excitement as the full power from the Creator manifested in all the cells in his body. Though his body was still green from the nettles it had just moved with the Creator's touch upon his heart "The Buddha Mind" into another version of physical reality. Mortality (at least the kind most humans are exposed to) no longer existed for the cells of this now fully empowered Mahasiddha's body.
Suddenly, Padma was back fully into his body in the cave. The whole cave now glowed from the change in the awareness of each cell of his body. They each no longer lived in reaction to all other cells on earth like most cells both plant and animal and human did. No. They were each soul cause to their own experience since they had been rendered "Mahasiddha Cells by God Directly". Though they were exceptional, they were now exceptional for a specific purpose. The purpose was to bring all the souls and cells of mankind into enlightenment. That brought forth another question for Padma, "Was he supposed to make all living cells on earth immortal like his now were?" He jumped outside his body and back to the Orion Nebula but the God was gone somewhere else now so he realized this wasn't something he absolutely needed to know just yet. He had been given his orders to assist in the enlightenment of all mankind no matter how long that took. He wondered just how long he must live.
Today, was 1987 and Padma lived in San Francisco. As he thought back about the last 2000 years since Yeshua joined God he still wondered about the answer to this question. However, he realized now it really wasn't as important to know about this as it had been then. He was timeless and so were all the cells of his body. God had rendered him timeless for a purpose. By now, he had had many names like Merlin, Padmasambhava, Saint Germain, and many of the Christian Saints had also been him. However, now in San Francisco in 1987 he was just happy to have avoided World War III and the extinction of mankind by facilitating the social revolution of the late 1960s worldwide. Without this social revolution that went worldwide Earth would have been blown to bits. He felt a little sad at the cost in minds and lives but earth had been saved and so had the platform of evolution for mankind and many other species that God had put here.
Starting when he became Padmasambhava and took Buddhism to Tibet, Padma had learned to create multiple bodies. Sometimes he even created his new births so everything looked like this person or that person was a normal human being and not just a Dharma Immortal. He had learned thousands of new ways to put humans at ease with his supernatural abilities. He found that they must not suspect the fullness of who he was or often they would just faint or have a heart attack. And if this happened he just had to bring them back to life and erase their memories which caused the fainting or heart attack. So, he had "out of compassion" for all beings on Earth and beyond, learned how to be like a doctor all the time to "All the children of Earth" who had become his family in earnest for almost 2500 years at this point.
Though at times this incredible responsibility weighed heavily upon him, one must remember that Padma always had been living in both Heaven and Earth now for 2500 years. This sort of took the edge off watching everyone die that he knew over and over again because he would move with those who passed away that he loved into the next realm because he wasn't limited to physical existence. So, the pain of them dying and being afraid was counterbalanced by traveling with them into their next destinies and accompanying them often to heaven realms as far as he was permitted by his Lord God.
Often Padma would travel to the Pure Lands (Heavens) of Buddha and Jesus. Each of them had thousands of heavens that they had built for all their followers, each heaven unique to the needs of a particular time and country or locality on earth. There were thousands of such places and even of individual heavens for some very unique souls that needed specialized heavens to exist in.
So, Padma had learned that not only is life on earth "Custom Made" so are all the heaven realms as well.
Here today in 1987 Padma had realized that there were (At least) 5 total Mahasiddhas that helped with all the major religions and secular souls on Earth for thousands of years. Sometimes he would "accidentally?" meet them along the way. He had recently developed a relationship with Celeste Weaver who came from another planet, and just today met another alien from another planet with a soul connection to Celeste Weaver. This alien's name though unpronounceable with an Earth tongue mostly resembled the name "Arcane" here on Earth or someone "who like Padma possessed the Arcane skills of ancient times before modern day technology."
For example, in some of Padma's bodies he did not need to learn to levitate as that usually took about 2 to 5 years meditating in a cave to achieve levitation and only then one had to be especially gifted to achieve this state. But since airplanes now circled the globe since at least the 1930s he hadn't asked any of his incarnations to learn to levitate since about 1930. As more technological innovations occurred his incarnations could pragmatically function in more specific ways to the real needs of that era.
Though Padma would not call Celeste Weaver exactly a Mahasiddha, he would call her a Saint incarnation because having studied her soul he realized she had died as a Saint on her planet and then reincarnated on a completely secular planet where no religion at all was allowed. He found her to be one of the most amazing and interesting souls because of this conscious choice to become completely humanistic. The amazing thing about her was that she wasn't against religion per say. She was against the excesses of religion and of the violence that often causes. No. Her point was saving lives, enlightening people with kindness and wisdom and medicine and useful planetary culture in order to prevent religious nuclear armageddons like occured already on Maldek which is now the asteroid belt of the Solar system. In fact, all humans living on Earth now are biologically related to all those who died on Maldek, the asteroid belt planet and those who died on Mars when most of its atmosphere was blown off by the nuclear explosion of the planet Maldek, which is now the present Asteroid belt of the solar system. In fact, the asteroid that hit earth and killed the dinosaurs by landing in the Gulf of Mexico was a piece of the planet Maldek that came from the nuclear explosion of the planet.
So, he found Celeste Weaver to be an amazing composite of 100 million years of the history of the solar system past, present and future. The evolving nature of humanoids in the solar system never ceased to amaze Padma. Imagine if you were a Sanskrit Scholar at age 15 2500 years ago translating for Buddha as he spoke, and now you were living in 1987 in San Francisco, California. What would you think about everything that you had seen after living 2500 years non-stop?
Celeste Weaver
One day Celeste visited Padma's apartment in San Francisco. It had a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge. By this point Padma had told Celeste who he actually was (something that was highly unusual even for Padma) (only a few very developed students and incarnations of Padma were usually told who he actually was for obvious reasons). Celeste rang the doorbell and Padma answered. Padma appeared as a 6 foot tall very anglo looking american with no foreign accent whatever. Celeste walked in and immediately remarked at the wonderful view from his penthouse apartment of Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay.
Padma said, "It's wonderful to have you visit my home, Celeste." Celeste agreed. She said, "You do know about the Galactic Government and the Galactic Time Guard?" "Of course, " said Padma, "But render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and render unto God that which is God's." Celeste looked at Padma a very long time and said, "How does it all actually work, Padma? What does spirituality and religion actually mean in the overall scheme of things in the universe?"
Padma then went deep into Celeste Weaver's motivational level to see what answer she needed at that moment in her life. He said, "Does it bother you that I rummage through your mind?" She said, "No. I trust you implicitly." Padma said, "I am honored that you have such faith in me."
He sat back a moment and closed his eyes and said, "The following is what you need me to say. It is entirely true but of perfect use to you specifically in this moment in your lifetime." Celeste said, "I'm very grateful that finally someone has the capacity to help me in this specific way."
Padma said, "I was a student of both Freud and Carl Jung and many of Jung's followers ever since."
Celeste said, "I'm not familiar with their works as much as I would like to be because I was educated entirely on other planets than earth."
Padma thought about this: to Celeste this was an alien world and even the concepts he was sharing were sort of alien to her. She was asking as a being raised on another planet with entirely different values than anything here on earth. He would have to consider this as well.
"Though this is entirely factual, it is designed for your particular psychology and the way you perceive reality." Padma went on from there, "First of all, the Galactic Sentience who is literally millions of years old and possibly even billions of years old, is both a physical and spiritual being."
Celeste said, "I assumed that."
Padma went on, "So, that is why many beings consider he and his Grandfather of whom I am one of millions of his grandfather's incarnations throughout the known universe, function as we do."
"And what exactly does that function consist of?" said Celeste.
Padma said, "To have this actually make sense I have to say that there are both physical and non-physical universes that go on literally without limit."
Celeste said, "Without limit? That just isn't logical."
Padma said, "It isn't logical to a mind tethered in the physical universe. However, to a mind tethered in multiple universes such as mine, infinity is a concept that I can actually contain experiencially even though it isn't something that can be contained within a logical human brain as such. In other words the truth of the universe both physical and non- physical can only be experienced and not really properly thought about just with a logical mind."
Celeste said, "So that understanding the limitations of a human brain is necessary before one can experiencially contain the whole universe?"
Padma said, "Not necessarily. There are varieties of experience that even I can't fully fathom that I have observed within both humans and aliens and even non-physical beings throughout the known universes."
Celeste said, "Oh. Do you understand how I perceive reality?"
Padma said, "Yes and no. I didn't evolve as a being with your specific experiences on multiple planets and dimensions including heavens so though I can vicariously experience them through looking into you, a lot of the decisions you have made as a soul make no sense to me at all because of my entirely different experiences. But, what we both share is that through a whole lot of suffering we both have found ways to help the beings we find us around in this particular lifetime. It is through this shared understanding of the suffering of all beings in the universe that we gather even now in my San Francisco apartment to figure out how better we can eliminate more fully the sufferings of all beings."
Celeste said, "Wow! But more specifically is the Galactic Sentience a God or is he just like a King in the succession of the Creator of the Galaxy that you say is your seed soul of millions of incarnations throughout the known universes?"
Padma thought carefully how to answer this question without disturbing the motivational mind of Celeste. Then he said, "Belief creates reality. Do you believe in that?"
Celeste said, "Well. In the sense that I cannot even raise my arm off my lap unless I believe I can, yes, I believe that Belief creates reality"
Padma was a little worried because this was really important to the stability of Celeste's future life. He said "No. At a very deep level we all exist because we believe we do. Do you believe that?"
Celeste said, "I don't know if I believe that or not."
Padma looked very deeply into Celeste and said, "There are many different levels of awareness. For example, I wouldn't ask most babies or children this question and even among adult humans there are only a few that I would ask this kind of question because it could unravel them if they weren't ready for it. So, if you can't handle the actual answer you need to tell me now. Because once we embark across this bridge there is no going back. And I have to be sure you are strong enough to bare the burden of the truth of life. Are you ready for this?"
Celeste found that her hands were shaking now. She had reached her personal moment of truth and said, "I cannot be married to Arcane unless I know the answer and can live with the answer."
Since Arcane was another of the incarnations of the father of the Galaxy like Padma was he went forward with his plan. He said, "Imagine this. Imagine you are a God of the universe and you live in your own private dream world. You are bored one day and you come up with the idea of creating time and space and then take pieces of yourself, let's call them all your many fingers, if you will and allow these fingers to believe in the time and space that you have created as rules of your game to entertain yourself. So, if you are with me you are a God in a formless realm and you just came upon the amazing idea to create realms of form. So now, here we are on earth in these realms of form in human bodies. However, there are some beings that you have created as guardians of the portals between the formless realms and the physical or form realms. Are you with me still?"
Celeste found her body sort of shaking more through all this. She asked, "Why am I shaking?"
Padma said, "Because I need you to experience this not just take it in intellectually. I need to to experience directly what I'm saying."
Celeste said, "So you are instantly enlightening me?"
Padma said, "Yes. You are being instantly realized because you will need these enlightenments that you won in your previous incarnation as Ah Ray In on New Deva."
Celeste said, "So, Arcane was telling me the truth. That wasn't just a line to make me become his wife?"
Padma said, "Arcame is an adept and a Mahasiddha of New Deva just like I am a Mahasiddha of Earth. We both share the same seed soul, the Creator of the Milky Way Galaxy. Both of us don't lie except as a way to protect other beings from untimely deaths in very serious situations."
Celeste said, "I would call that a truly honest man."
Padma said, "We are both truly honest man. One does not become a real Mahasiddha any other way."
Celeste said, "Then Jesus was a Mahasiddha too."
Padma said, "Yes. I would call him that. However, I am a specialized kind of Mahasiddha and Jesus is another type of very specialized Mahasiddha a little like Buddha."
Celeste said, "Oh. I've stopped shaking. Does that mean I have made it to a kind of enlighenment."
Padma said, "Yes. Enlightenment always comes from a cellular level of awareness. You will now live at least 1000 years because of it."
Celeste said,"That long?"
Padma said, "Arcane will need you as well as your children yet to be born."
Celeste turned red. "You mean Arcane and I will have children as well?"
Padma said, "Yes."
Celeste started to cry so Padma put his arm around her until she calmed down again like a brother or uncle would.
As Celeste went out to meet Arcane she thanked Padma for the amazing blessings and awarenesses he had brought into her life. Padma said to her as she left, " Remember when I said that there are some beings that God has created as guardians of the portals between the formless realms and the physical or form realms?
Celeste looked a little scared and said, "Yes."
Padma said, "The race of Creators who sometimes are the ones who create Galaxies and who live in Galaxies are a race of Portal Guardians between not only Matter and anti-matter Galaxies but also as guardians between the formless realms and the physical realms of the universe."
Celeste looked kind of horrified by the whole thing. "But what does that really mean to me?"
Padma said, "Well. You asked the question and what it means is literally whatever you need it to mean, Celeste."
Celeste said, "I just don't want to think about this anymore. I'm afraid I'll just have a heart attack if I do."
Padma said, "Do you want me to make you forget this conversation?"
Celeste said, "No. I'm a grown up. I just need some time to adjust to all this. It's a bit much for anyone to deal with."
Padma said, "Yes. It took me about 45 years to be able to deal with it all experiencially without throwing up a lot."
Celeste said, "Yes. I can understand that. One can mentally grasp the concept but to physically experience it and become enlightened by it is another thing entirely."
Jonathan Meets Padma
That was 1987. Now 24 years later, Padma still had his apartment in San Francisco (even though these days he wasn't there much. Arcane had a dream and realized it was time for Jonathan to meet Padma. After all, on a soul level they were all related. It was only fair.
So, March 4th 2011 Jonathan sauntered up to Padma's apartment actually quite scared. The way he had met Arcane was easier somehow. It had been much easier, to meet a man from another planet than it was to meet someone who actually knew Buddha and Jesus personally when their bodies lived here on Earth 2000 years ago and 2500 years ago approximately.
So, Jonathan sort of found himself sort of shaking at the idea of the whole thing. He thought, "My God! I'm going to meet someone who actually knew Jesus and Buddha! That's kind of scary on a whole bunch of different levels. I'm not sure I can deal with any of my preconceptions being blown right out of the water. But then, he started to be afraid of someone as powerful a mahasiddha as Padmasambhava likely was and is. He remembered some of the older Tibetan Lamas straight out of Tibet. They were tough as nails and supernatural to boot. The were compassionate and scary as only people who had survived the times of the Great Depression and World War II could be. He felt ill prepared for this level of supernatural ability to have survived everything this being had survived.
Then as he knocked on the door he found he felt like he was going to throw up and then the door opened and then a very calm man who looked very East Indian answered the door. He was about 5 foot 8 inches tall and had a very thick East Indian accent that reminded him of the guy on the Big Bang theory. In fact, he looked a lot like this same guy. So, he couldn't help but to laugh a little as he met Padma.
Padma, you see had appeared like this on purpose. He had felt Jonathan's fear of meeting the great Padmasambhava who had brought Buddhism to Tibet and also Merlin the Magician as he was known in England when he had put prince Arthur on the throne. But what Jonathan hadn't also been told was that Padma was also Saint Germain. This might be very difficult for Jonathan to take in reality.
So, Padma brought Jonathan in and asked him if he would like some Tibetan Butter Tea. Jonathan immediately said "Yes" because Tibetan Lamas traditionally gave tea to other Buddhists to recognize them as their students. So, Jonathan had already experienced this many times in India, Nepal and in the western United States when he met new Tibetan Lamas. He definitely wanted lineage with someone who had met Buddha and Jesus and who had brought Buddhism to Tibet. Jonathan was like a little child in a candy store. He started to cry and was very embarrassed. Jonathan said, "Why am I crying, Padma? I'm so embarrassed this isn't like me."
Padma saw something and was completely amazed by it. He said, "I remember you. You were the Roman Centurian Guard guarding Jesus after he was crucified!" Padma's excitement was just too much for Jonathan and Jonathan just passed out cold right there. Luckily, Padma hadn't given him the Tibetan Butter tea yet.
When Jonathan came to he was shaking. It reminded him of when he was a boy and had childhood epilepsy. He wondered why this was all happening like this. This wasn't how he wanted it to go at all.
Padma said, "I'm sorry, Jonathan. You passed out because I haven't been entirely honest with you. Remember this?" And Padma turned into the form of Saint Germain that had appeared to Jonathan when he was 25 in 1973, only this time he didn't pass out and have his brain reprogrammed by Saint Germain this time. Instead, he just felt kind of shocked and nauseous like he wanted to throw up.
I wasn't prepared for this, Padma, uh, Saint Germain, uh whoever you are.
Padma said, "Watch this!" Immediately, Jonathan was shown a whole bunch of angels coming to his bedroom the day that Saint Germain had appeared to him. Then Padma (also Saint Germain) looked deeply into Jonathan to see if he could proceed with this initiation and wanted to make sure this wouldn't just kill Jonathan at his present age of 62.
Padma nodded and let the holographic presentation of that day, Easter 1973 continue. Jonathan was transfixed by all the angels and violet colored sacred fire as it burned out blackness out of his chest. Tears came to his eyes remembering this event once more. Jonathan's oldest son had been conceived just a few months after this experience with Saint Germain. He watched as he had passed out then after experiencing the violet colored sacred flames burn from him and cleanse his body and soul of anything not useful to Saint Germain and the angels. He found himself now years later feeling like this person he saw was someone else. He had been but 25 then and now he was 62. It was like they were two very different person with the same memories somehow. It was like Jonathan had reincarnated into another body of someone who was 62 instead of 25. He looked at Saint Germain and said, "I did everything you asked me, Saint Germain. What do I do now?"
Since Padma now had become Saint Germain for effect, Jonathan was in a really altered state of consciousness from it all. He wondered if he was going to die? But no, if this man really was his Guru Saint Germain, he wasn't here to kill him, he was here to continue his instruction. He might even be here to make him more of a siddha and even move Jonathan to becoming a Mahasiddha too. Jonathan wasn't sure what would be asked of him now after all these years of moving towards enlightenment with Saint Germain.
At this point, Saint Germain went back to being Padma and around 5 foot 8 inches tall and said to Jonathan. This is what I looked like a lot when I was 35 years old and studying with the Buddha when his body was still alive. I think this will stablize your many selves from past lives. You have known me looking like this and many others for the last 2500 years, Jonathan. Do you remember me?
Jonathan said in an otherworldly voice, "I remember you from many of my lifetimes. Will I survive this present encounter with you, Padma?"
Padma smiled, "Oh, Yes! I'm not here to initiate you into death Jonathan. I'm here to initiate you into life!"
Jonathan smiled, He had passed the test. He was going to be okay now.
He sat on the couch and looked out at the amazing view of the Golden Gate Bridge and accepted the Tibetan Butter tea. He had never really gotten used to this stuff in India and Nepal either. It sort of tasted a lot like hot Buttermilk. He had never been fond of buttermilk. But his Dad had been. He remembered more than once as a kid grabbing a paper dispenser of buttermilk thinking it was milk and gagging when he drank it. But he was an adult now. He didn't have to spray hot buttermilk all over the kitchen with his mouth like he was a child again.
This time he could savor ever sip of his empowered connection to Padmasambhava who had assured him now he was also Saint Germain. Amazing! Jonathan's mind was properly blown into a new dimension. He was free. Everything in his life would change. Again!
Padma looked out at the Golden Gate Bridge and spoke in his natural East Indian accent. He said (calming Jonathan and bringing him back to a new reality here on earth) "Jonathan. I've had this apartment now since World War II ended. After I helped create the United Nations I found it useful to be here.
Jonathan knew by personal experience now that Padma could be anything he wanted to be even this Tibetan Butter Tea if he so wished. Though Jonathan was scared he had grown used to his old Guru, no matter what form he manifested in. They watched the sun set behind the Golden Gate Bridge and talked of past lifetimes together and what Padma had in mind for Jonathan, (as his student) to do next with his life.
Jonathan Moves On
As he drove home that night after sunset in his car he felt kind of miffed at both Arcane and Padma. He felt like he had been treated like a child and not an adult. He was sort of angry at them both for putting him through all this. After all, he was a 62 year old man and didn't deserve this kind of treatment. He deserved some respect for living this long. And then, he realized just how much crap both Arcane and Padma had been through to live thousands of years each. He had reached a Zen. Then he thought about how he had always been told how he and Arcane and now Padma and King Interlaken and His Oneness of Lemuria all were from the same root soul and was getting pissed off about that and wondering about that. Then he started to question his own sanity about the whole thing. And then he started to laugh and realized that life was a joke. Yes. It was a serious joke but still a joke. All the Tibetan Lamas had said this sometimes when he felt like laughing or crying in various difficult situations in the U.S. , India and Nepal. He had noticed they always laughed about things that were just too amazing or just too difficult. This was the real secret of life, to be able to laugh at one's own existence. Not laughing yourself off a cliff to death. But instead laughing yourself sane. Because a Mahasiddha like Jesus or Buddha or now Padma and Arcane were the sanest beings in the universe. He thought the human race is mad in comparison to them. The last of his neuroses had been shattered with laughter. Padma had just turned Jonathan into a beginning Mahasiddha. He saw the signs. He was living all the signs. He finally understood Arcane when he had said, "If you live to be 100, you will be 500. If you live to be 500 you will be 1000. If you live to be 1000 you will be 5000. If you live to be 5000 you will be 10,000. And, Jonathan thought, "If we live any longer than that, I just don't want to know about it yet. It's just too much to deal with now." Jonathan just became a Mahasiddha too just meeting Padma. Amazing!
Note: ON names. Arcane: is meant simply as knowing things no longer known by most people here on Earth.
Padma literally means Lotus. So Padmasambhava means "Lotus Born". Padmasambhava was a mahasiddha from Afghanistan who became enlightened in India in the Himalayas and who taught near Nalanda Buddhist University. He is thought to have brought Buddhism to Tibet and allowed it to co-mingle with the local Bon religions. It is why Tibetan Buddhism is such an incredibly powerful yet compassionate religion. Jonathan Flow is a combination name. it originally came 10 to 20 years ago from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" a work by Richard Bach and combined with "Flow" which is short for "Science of the Lemurian Flow" which is a way of being like Buddha and Jesus in that they ALWAYS were in the completely right space and time to make infinite miracles happen in thousands and millions of lives for thousands and thousands of years to come. So, FLOW in this sense means Being so in tune with the God Force of the universe that everything you do has infinite positive effects towards the enlightenment of all beings inside and outside of all time and space always, past, present and future.
Jonathan after Meeting Padma
Jonathan
decided to call Arcane on his hands free cell phone in his car. He
pushed the button and Arcane picked up the call in Switzerland at his
Chalet. Jonathan said, "Arcane. I did as you said and met Padma. Thanks
for arranging our meeting. How long have you known him?" Jonathan said,
"I met him when I first arrived at the Golden Gate Bridge. I met him on
the bridge even before I met Celeste. We had been talking informally and
he had made himself known to me. Listen to this, Jonathan. He knew I
was going to be there before I did. That's amazing! And he knew the day
and time to be there to meet me. I've never met anyone like that before,
even from where I come from."
Jonathan knew Arcane was parsing his words carefully because he didn't want to let on that he was from another planet and that what he meant was Padma was waiting for him on Golden Gate Bridge even before Arcane was told by the Galactic Time Guard where and when he was actually going. Jonathan knew from this that all his senses were correct.
Jonathan said, "Can I meet you? I need to talk to you in person."
Arcane said, "I'll meet you soon. Give me about 10 minutes to make the necessary arrangements."
You might think "Switzerland to a San Francisco Freeway in 10 minutes?" You'd be right. This was not a born on earth human being. Arcane was a human being he just wasn't born on Earth this time. Exactly ten minutes later Arcane was sitting in the seat next to Jonathan as he drove down the freeway. No one noticed but Jonathan because it was night time.
Arcane looked over at Jonathan and Jonathan looked a little scared. Jonathan said, "I'm still not used to you doing stuff like this. My brain still can't believe it's possible even when I see stuff like this happen."
Arcane said, "Your aura has completely changed, Jonathan. On my planet we would call this an extreme up level. It's like you went from private to General over night in terms of actual perceptual development."
Jonathan said, "I'm kind of scared, Arcane. I've done stuff like this before. All the rules change."
Arcane looked into Jonathan and said, "No. You've never done anything like this ever in this lifetime, Jonathan. This isn't like anything you have ever experienced before."
Jonathan was wondering if he would still be able to drive a car. Arcane said, "No. That won't be affected. Let me show you something. Visualize yourself over there by the side of the road."
Jonathan did this and was amazed that he now had two bodies one driving the car and the other back there on the side of the road watching him drive away. Then Arcane said, "Now believe you have only one body which is driving the car." Jonathan did this and wanted to swear aloud." Arcane raised his hand. "No. Don't swear. You are in a different mode now entirely. You have to be very careful of your every thought and feeling. You have become soul cause to your own experience and your cells won't age anymore. Now, imagine that there are two Arcane's in the car, and one is driving and the other is you but looks like me." Jonathan did this and then Arcane said, "Let me have the steering wheel and look at the mirror." So Jonathan looked into the nearest mirror and he looked like Arcane. Jonathan wanted to start shaking but again Arcane said, "NO. You are soul Cause to your own experience. You have earned this, Jonathan. Now just grow up into it. Prove Padma correct in his initiation of you into being a Mahasiddha. You'll grow into it. It's just fundamental things have changed you need to be aware of."
Jonathan looked at Arcane and said, "Why didn't Padma tell me about all this?" Arcane just laughed. "He's really old school. This is how Buddha treated him. If you can't handle it you die. He figured you were old enough that if you couldn't figure it out you'd just die. But if you did you would become like him eventually. It's a win win for him and you either way."
Jonathan said, "Wow!"
"So what your saying is I either learn very quickly to adapt to all this or I'll die soon?"
Arcane: "Yep! That is exactly what I'm saying."
Jonathan said, "I thought you were Saint Germain!"
Arcane said, "Well. Both Padma and I are Saint Germain. I can't really explain it yet to you. But suffice it to say that you and I and Padma are all pieces of the same root soul of the Creator that created this galaxy. In fact, I can't explain this kind of stuff even to myself. Have you ever been to a mechanic in a garage and seen a poster that says, "If it ain't broke don't fix it!" Jonathan thought this was a really strange question but said, "Yes. I have"
Arcane said, "Well. Literally in regard to the fine points of everything right now. If it ain't broke don't fix it because no one understands fully what it all means past here in development. What I'm saying Jonathan is that time and space really do have no meaning for you anymore."
Jonathan thought about this. It was an ominous statement. He finally said, "Is that true for you?"
Arcane said, "Yes. It is."
Jonathan said, "When did you hit this point?"
Arcane was very quiet and then said, "I have never really thought about it in this way but if I must it began when I was time banished to earth and left to die."
Jonathan said, "If it wouldn't be too much could you explain it to me?"
Arcane said, "Well. It is a little painful because of the circumstances but I believe it is for a good cause to go there once more. It's like this, Jonathan. I knew that either I was going to die there or I had to find a way. When the Wolf Like's of about 1million years in the future earth came to eat me I knew I either had to find a way or die trying. This was the moment when everything started to change in my life. I had to be scared enough that I would die without saving my planet, my people and Ah Ray IN. I had to get past worrying whether I lived or died to get to the next place. When I just gave up on me living for me and went fully beyond to saving everyone else I loved no matter what happened to me I was there!"
Jonathan had to say, "Wow!"
"So you being forced to move into a place where you no longer really cared whether you lived or died put you there?"
Arcane: "NO. It was that I had to save everyone else so I had to stay alive and succeed no matter what came and no matter what happened after that. So no matter the consequences to my life in the future I was going to live, I was going to succeed somehow, I was going to save my planet, I was going to defeat Tech Noir no matter what. No matter if I lived. No matter if I died. I would save my people my planet and my bride to be Ah RAy IN."
Jonathan said, "But you weren't able to save Ah Ray In."
Arcane gave Jonathan a dirty look and said, "Why thank you for mentioning that horror."
Jonathan immediately said, "Please forgive me, Arcane."
Arcane just laughed and said, "I've been married to Celeste who is Ah Ray IN's next incarnation now since 1987 and living in Switzerland, new York City and my place on the side of Mt. Shasta. What's the problem?"
So Jonathan watched sort of horrified as Arcane laughed and laughed and laughed until tears rolled down his cheeks. Jonathan was very glad ARcane was his friend. This had been very difficult for Arcane to share all this. It was very personal but also necessary for Jonathan's staying alive.
Silver and Purple Delta 7
Arcane smiled and looked at Jonathan. "I want to show you what you would be capable of doing now that you are a beginning Mahasiddha. But don't try this yourself just yet without talking to me first about it. Okay?" Jonathan nodded. He said, "This will be something possible but I should wait for you and speak with you before I try it myself."
Arcane looked mischievous at this point and said, "You may travel anywhere on earth in your same time frame, however, while leaving your primary physical body in bed at home, though."
Jonathan was a little confused and said, "But that's just soul traveling."
Arcane said, "NO. I'm talking about creating a duplicate body like the story of Sai Baba that your uncle and cousin experienced in real life."
Jonathan said, "Oh." This put a whole new context into Jonathan's life because he had learned to soul travel to any space or time years before. But what Arcane seemed to be speaking of was that now it was theoretically possible to create a second body and send it to any space or time. Jonathan thought he had better ask before he had a psychological problem with the whole thing. "So you are saying under the right circumstances that I can now, with your assistance, create a duplicate body while I'm home in bed and literally manifest this body in any space and time."
Arcane, "Yes. Theoretically this is true. However, you aren't ready to do this alone yet. And there is another factor which is that none of these things should be used unless there is a real need in the universe. All supernatural faculties are expected by angels to only be used for training like this or for saving souls. Otherwise, angels will create backfires which will lead to your certain death within moments."
Jonathan thought about this. "So this is what you are talking about with Padma being old school and not telling me about this? This is how he was taught as well?"
ARcane said, "Yes."
Jonathan said, "What now?"
Arcane looked deeply into Jonathan and then said as they were driving down the freeway in Jonathan's car. "Take my hand."
Jonathan was alarmed, "What about you and I driving in this car?" ARcane laughed and said, "Your physical body here is on automatic. It will drive us both to your home, greet your wife and you will lie down next to your wife and go to sleep after a lengthy conversation with your wife and me and you. She will make us some food and tea and I will sleep in your guest room tonight. But you and I don't need to think about that because it will be automatic. You will wake up in the morning and I will be there, your wife and daughter will be there and you will remember both streams of life and consciousness and then you will have to integrate both streams in your memories and cells. And this is what will change you permanently from the old Jonathan to the new fully aware new Mahasiddha."
Jonathan knew he was becoming in earnest what his initiation by Padma had created him to be.
He said, "Okay, Arcane. I'm ready."
Arcane reached out his hand and Jonathan took it. Immediately they were out in space. Jonathan said, "Where are we? How can I talk in space? How can my body not fall apart in space?"
ARcane looked into Jonathan and said,"You are no longer limited by space and time, Jonathan. There is nothing literally, given the actual need of beings that you couldn't do to save one or more souls now as a Mahasiddha given the right circumstances and God's blessings and grace."
Jonathan shuddered at the thought.
He said, "Who is that in front of us traveling like us through space?"
Arcane said, "That's me and Silver and Nada in 2135."
Jonathan said, "We're in 2135 in Space?"
Arcane said, "Yes."
Jonathan said, "Why are we here?"
Arcane said, "Mostly to demonstrate what you are now capable of as a Mahasiddha."
Jonathan watched how fast space was moving around them and the sun was coming up awful fast.
He said, "I know it is possible not to burn up in the sun. We won't burn up in there will we?"
ARcane said,"No. The body you are presently wearing is impervious to heat of any kind."
Jonathan felt the plasma of the sun. It felt good like a warm pool of water that he could breathe. His perceptions changed and he began to see Plasma beings that lived in the sun. He became aware that they were the same souls as people who lived on earth and other planets. He was about to ask Arcane about this fact when Arcane put up his hand to not let Jonathan speak and said, "Watch, Jonathan."
As Jonathan watched he saw three thrones being created that ARcane, Silver and Nada got into.
The next thing Jonathan saw was that everything changed and he felt a rush of speed unlike anything he had ever experienced. He realized he was traveling many many times the speed of light because instantly he was in the center of the galaxy looking at the extremely large black hole that held the galaxy together and the same type of black hole that held every galaxy together. Arcane said, " I want to take you through a so called black hole into an antmatter universe out the other side."
Jonathan thought this was really strange. He said, "Okay."
Immediately, they entered the black hole of the Milky Way Galaxy and all perceptions of time and space changed. Arcane stopped immediately between the nexus point of the matter universe and the antimatter universe. From Jonathan's new perspective both the matter Milky way Galaxy and the Antimatter Milky way Galaxy looked about the same. However, Jonathan started to get a form of vertigo from the whole thing and Arcane looked at him and said, "We're going to the Galactic Time Guard planet in the matter side of the Milky Way Galaxy, okay?"
Jonathan said weakly, "Okay." But he didn't feel very well right then.
Suddenly Arcane and Jonathan were standing among thousands of different robots, androids and battle robots like Purple Delta 7 who was standing up on the Platform erected for this moment. Jonathan saw Purple immediately note his and Arcane's presence and smile like she expected them. This sent chills up Jonathan's spine that she seemed to know they were going to be there.
It was surrealistic for Jonathan to watch Silver Speak. His hair turned white as he watched and he looked so pale and confused by all this. Of course Silver was a good sport about it all.

note: Jonathan Flow is someone I have written about since the early 1980s now. He shows up first in my "Memories" Series at:
Jonathan knew Arcane was parsing his words carefully because he didn't want to let on that he was from another planet and that what he meant was Padma was waiting for him on Golden Gate Bridge even before Arcane was told by the Galactic Time Guard where and when he was actually going. Jonathan knew from this that all his senses were correct.
Jonathan said, "Can I meet you? I need to talk to you in person."
Arcane said, "I'll meet you soon. Give me about 10 minutes to make the necessary arrangements."
You might think "Switzerland to a San Francisco Freeway in 10 minutes?" You'd be right. This was not a born on earth human being. Arcane was a human being he just wasn't born on Earth this time. Exactly ten minutes later Arcane was sitting in the seat next to Jonathan as he drove down the freeway. No one noticed but Jonathan because it was night time.

Prove Padma correct in his initiation of you into being a Mahasiddha. You'll grow into it. It's just fundamental things have changed you need to be aware of."
Jonathan looked at Arcane and said, "Why didn't Padma tell me about all this?" Arcane just laughed. "He's really old school. This is how Buddha treated him. If you can't handle it you die. He figured you were old enough that if you couldn't figure it out you'd just die. But if you did you would become like him eventually. It's a win win for him and you either way."
Jonathan said, "Wow!"
"So what your saying is I either learn very quickly to adapt to all this or I'll die soon?"
Arcane: "Yep! That is exactly what I'm saying."
Jonathan said, "I thought you were Saint Germain!"
Arcane said, "Well. Both Padma and I are Saint Germain. I can't really explain it yet to you. But suffice it to say that you and I and Padma are all pieces of the same root soul of the Creator that created this galaxy. In fact, I can't explain this kind of stuff even to myself. Have you ever been to a mechanic in a garage and seen a poster that says, "If it ain't broke don't fix it!" Jonathan thought this was a really strange question but said, "Yes. I have"
Arcane said, "Well. Literally in regard to the fine points of everything right now. If it ain't broke don't fix it because no one understands fully what it all means past here in development. What I'm saying Jonathan is that time and space really do have no meaning for you anymore."
Jonathan thought about this. It was an ominous statement. He finally said, "Is that true for you?"
Arcane said, "Yes. It is."
Jonathan said, "When did you hit this point?"
Arcane was very quiet and then said, "I have never really thought about it in this way but if I must it began when I was time banished to earth and left to die."
Jonathan said, "If it wouldn't be too much could you explain it to me?"
Arcane said, "Well. It is a little painful because of the circumstances but I believe it is for a good cause to go there once more. It's like this, Jonathan. I knew that either I was going to die there or I had to find a way. When the Wolf Like's of about 1million years in the future earth came to eat me I knew I either had to find a way or die trying. This was the moment when everything started to change in my life. I had to be scared enough that I would die without saving my planet, my people and Ah Ray IN. I had to get past worrying whether I lived or died to get to the next place. When I just gave up on me living for me and went fully beyond to saving everyone else I loved no matter what happened to me I was there!"
Jonathan had to say, "Wow!"
"So you being forced to move into a place where you no longer really cared whether you lived or died put you there?"
Arcane: "NO. It was that I had to save everyone else so I had to stay alive and succeed no matter what came and no matter what happened after that. So no matter the consequences to my life in the future I was going to live, I was going to succeed somehow, I was going to save my planet, I was going to defeat Tech Noir no matter what. No matter if I lived. No matter if I died. I would save my people my planet and my bride to be Ah RAy IN."
Jonathan said, "But you weren't able to save Ah Ray In."
Arcane gave Jonathan a dirty look and said, "Why thank you for mentioning that horror."
Jonathan immediately said, "Please forgive me, Arcane."
Arcane just laughed and said, "I've been married to Celeste who is Ah Ray IN's next incarnation now since 1987 and living in Switzerland, new York City and my place on the side of Mt. Shasta. What's the problem?"
So Jonathan watched sort of horrified as Arcane laughed and laughed and laughed until tears rolled down his cheeks. Jonathan was very glad ARcane was his friend. This had been very difficult for Arcane to share all this. It was very personal but also necessary for Jonathan's staying alive.
Silver and Purple Delta 7
Arcane smiled and looked at Jonathan. "I want to show you what you would be capable of doing now that you are a beginning Mahasiddha. But don't try this yourself just yet without talking to me first about it. Okay?" Jonathan nodded. He said, "This will be something possible but I should wait for you and speak with you before I try it myself."
Arcane looked mischievous at this point and said, "You may travel anywhere on earth in your same time frame, however, while leaving your primary physical body in bed at home, though."
Jonathan was a little confused and said, "But that's just soul traveling."
Arcane said, "NO. I'm talking about creating a duplicate body like the story of Sai Baba that your uncle and cousin experienced in real life."
Jonathan said, "Oh." This put a whole new context into Jonathan's life because he had learned to soul travel to any space or time years before. But what Arcane seemed to be speaking of was that now it was theoretically possible to create a second body and send it to any space or time. Jonathan thought he had better ask before he had a psychological problem with the whole thing. "So you are saying under the right circumstances that I can now, with your assistance, create a duplicate body while I'm home in bed and literally manifest this body in any space and time."
Arcane, "Yes. Theoretically this is true. However, you aren't ready to do this alone yet. And there is another factor which is that none of these things should be used unless there is a real need in the universe. All supernatural faculties are expected by angels to only be used for training like this or for saving souls. Otherwise, angels will create backfires which will lead to your certain death within moments."
Jonathan thought about this. "So this is what you are talking about with Padma being old school and not telling me about this? This is how he was taught as well?"
ARcane said, "Yes."
Jonathan said, "What now?"
Arcane looked deeply into Jonathan and then said as they were driving down the freeway in Jonathan's car. "Take my hand."
Jonathan was alarmed, "What about you and I driving in this car?" ARcane laughed and said, "Your physical body here is on automatic. It will drive us both to your home, greet your wife and you will lie down next to your wife and go to sleep after a lengthy conversation with your wife and me and you. She will make us some food and tea and I will sleep in your guest room tonight. But you and I don't need to think about that because it will be automatic. You will wake up in the morning and I will be there, your wife and daughter will be there and you will remember both streams of life and consciousness and then you will have to integrate both streams in your memories and cells. And this is what will change you permanently from the old Jonathan to the new fully aware new Mahasiddha."
Jonathan knew he was becoming in earnest what his initiation by Padma had created him to be.
He said, "Okay, Arcane. I'm ready."
Arcane reached out his hand and Jonathan took it. Immediately they were out in space. Jonathan said, "Where are we? How can I talk in space? How can my body not fall apart in space?"
ARcane looked into Jonathan and said,"You are no longer limited by space and time, Jonathan. There is nothing literally, given the actual need of beings that you couldn't do to save one or more souls now as a Mahasiddha given the right circumstances and God's blessings and grace."
Jonathan shuddered at the thought.
He said, "Who is that in front of us traveling like us through space?"
Arcane said, "That's me and Silver and Nada in 2135."
Jonathan said, "We're in 2135 in Space?"
Arcane said, "Yes."
Jonathan said, "Why are we here?"
Arcane said, "Mostly to demonstrate what you are now capable of as a Mahasiddha."
Jonathan watched how fast space was moving around them and the sun was coming up awful fast.
He said, "I know it is possible not to burn up in the sun. We won't burn up in there will we?"
ARcane said,"No. The body you are presently wearing is impervious to heat of any kind."
Jonathan felt the plasma of the sun. It felt good like a warm pool of water that he could breathe. His perceptions changed and he began to see Plasma beings that lived in the sun. He became aware that they were the same souls as people who lived on earth and other planets. He was about to ask Arcane about this fact when Arcane put up his hand to not let Jonathan speak and said, "Watch, Jonathan."
As Jonathan watched he saw three thrones being created that ARcane, Silver and Nada got into.
The next thing Jonathan saw was that everything changed and he felt a rush of speed unlike anything he had ever experienced. He realized he was traveling many many times the speed of light because instantly he was in the center of the galaxy looking at the extremely large black hole that held the galaxy together and the same type of black hole that held every galaxy together. Arcane said, " I want to take you through a so called black hole into an antmatter universe out the other side."
Jonathan thought this was really strange. He said, "Okay."
Immediately, they entered the black hole of the Milky Way Galaxy and all perceptions of time and space changed. Arcane stopped immediately between the nexus point of the matter universe and the antimatter universe. From Jonathan's new perspective both the matter Milky way Galaxy and the Antimatter Milky way Galaxy looked about the same. However, Jonathan started to get a form of vertigo from the whole thing and Arcane looked at him and said, "We're going to the Galactic Time Guard planet in the matter side of the Milky Way Galaxy, okay?"
Jonathan said weakly, "Okay." But he didn't feel very well right then.
Suddenly Arcane and Jonathan were standing among thousands of different robots, androids and battle robots like Purple Delta 7 who was standing up on the Platform erected for this moment. Jonathan saw Purple immediately note his and Arcane's presence and smile like she expected them. This sent chills up Jonathan's spine that she seemed to know they were going to be there.
It was surrealistic for Jonathan to watch Silver Speak. His hair turned white as he watched and he looked so pale and confused by all this. Of course Silver was a good sport about it all.

dragonofcompassion - 2035
After Silver and the other Arcane left and flew off into the sky of the Galactic Time Guard planet Purple Delta 7 came over to this Arcane and Jonathan. She said, "Jonathan, I hear you are now a Mahasiddha like our mutual friend, Arcane here. Welcome to the world of the Galactic Time Guard."
Jonathan sort of felt like he wanted to faint because as he watched Purple Delta 7 slowly morphed into Marilyn Monroe.
Jonathan asked Purple, "Why did you do that?"
Purple smiled and said, "I wanted to be extremely attractive to you. You are a Mahasiddha now. I need to be attractive to all the Galactic Leaders like yourself."
Jonathan swallowed hard and said, "I'm a Galactic Leader?"
Purple said, "Think about it Jonathan. How many people on earth right now could do this?"
Jonathan thought about it and said, "Well. At least 3 that I know of."
Purple said, "Exactly. And Padma is unlikely to ever come here."
Jonathan said, "Why?"
"Because technology isn't his favorite thing. He was born when technology was just a wagon wheel and bamboo and stone pipes and canals to carry water long distances from the mountains. Beings like myself he isn't interested in. But you are."
Jonathan said sort of taken aback, "Padma helped me become what I am now. He's old school like Arcane here told me."
Purple as Marilyn Monroe said, "I meant no disrespect, Jonathan."
Jonathan was definitely out of his league here in some ways. He saw both ARcane and Purple Delta 7 eyeing him in a whole new way. Arcane was a friend but what was he really to Purple? A colleague, a consort, something. Jonathan wanted to be anywhere but here in this moment.
Purple said, "I'm no threat to you, Jonathan. We both work for the same end, the peaceful resolution of all situations in the galaxy."
Jonathan finally had heard something he could actually relate to. He said, "I"m honored to work alongside of you, Purple."
Purple said, "You honor me and all the created sentients in this. I will never forget you, Jonathan."
Jonathan said, "Nor will I ever forget you." And this was very true.
ARcane said, "It was very good of you to greet us, Purple. I have to resume Jonathan's training."
Purple reached out her Marilyn hand to Jonathan. As he touched her a thrill went through his whole body and for some reason he kissed her hand and Purple smiled a deadly smile as only a very beautiful woman could.
Instantly, Arcane and Jonathan were on a completely different planet in another time. At first, Jonathan wanted to faint. The ocean before them was purple the sky was a sort of grayish blue and the sun was just coming up. They were in the water and Arcane looked very different. Though he was humanoid he had long "Hair?" They were in the water and Arcane motioned for him to go under.
Jonathan said, "Can I breathe water?"
Arcane said, "Yes."
So, Jonathan inhaled some water to test this theory. He coughed at first until he realized he had gills. Gills? My God, he had gills so he sucked water in through his mouth and it went out his gills. He learned right away to sort of skim it through his teeth to keep out larger particles but within a couple of minutes he got used to it. Arcane was very patient with him. He finally took Jonathan's hand and took him down about 50 feet where they sort of floated neutral buoyancy like a SCUBA Diver.
ARcane telepathed to Jonathan, "Turn over on your back and look up."
Jonathan did this and both of them were on their backs looking up at the surface 50 feet above them. Here he was in another time on another planet with his alien friend, Arcane swimming in a purple ocean looking up at the sun glinting through the ocean down to him. Life couldn't get any stranger. But it did.
Arcane said, "I'm calling a water dragon. Don't be afraid. We're going riding."
Jonathan started. "What's a water dragon?"
Arcane said, "They are something like a giant flying fish. Just imagine a flying fish on earth as big as a whale."
This was too surrealistic and Jonathan began to laugh like a child underwater while breathing water through his mouth and gills. The strange thing about it was that he could actually laugh underwater with no ill effects.
Jonathan waited with Arcane and found it very strange to look at Arcane with his natural golden colored eyes and violet skin, 9 inch tongue darting all about like an antsy worm, and then he noticed his tongue was doing the same thing. He realized the 9 inch tongue was a heat sensing device and sensed more than just food in ones mouth. It also sensed danger as well as food not yet in ones mouth, like fish and other edible creatures under the sea. Soon, he "tasted" the vibration of the coming Water Dragons.
When they arrived they were excited to see Arcane. He noticed ARcane was very young, maybe like a 15 to 20 year old New Devan water and air breathing human. Jonathan wondered how many other planets that human DNA from Earth had seeded 1 million years forward from when he lived in the 2000s AD.
The Water Dragons were very impressive. Their happiness was contagious. They were like dolphins, whales and even horses all combined in their love of underwater humans. There was a definite symbiosis going on here that reminded Jonathan of Trees and Humans or Trees and the various apes or just of dolphins and humans or Whales and humans. They seemed just as intelligent as humans only without the technology only because they didn't have hands to build stuff. But they could fly!
At first, to get Jonathan used to water riding and flying, he put Jonathan behind him on Octavia the female. The first time they cleared the water Jonathan thought he was going to die with the force first flying through the water and then the evaporation hit him and then he thought he might get hypothermia. Arcane telepathed, "Hold your water. Don't breathe it out! Otherwise, the hypothermia will just get worse from fast evaporation. The water in your lungs will help hold your body heat."
Before Jonathan did this he almost froze to death the first time out of the water. Arcane nudged the female water dragon, Octavia to quickly re-enter the water so Jonathan didn't start to freeze and fall off suddenly from hypothermia. But by the second time in the water Jonathan started to get the hang of holding his breathe and to only breathe water. "How Strange all this is but how fun also!" he thought.
The third time Jonathan had adapted enough to take a 30 second flight straight up like a bullet and then the water dragon unfurled it's iridescent wings. He could see rainbows through the wings against the sun. Amazing! He could not believe just how far up they shot up into the air like a bullet before the dragon unfurled her wings. Then the dragon caught an updraft because of the warm sun and they stayed aloft for a long time, almost a full minute. Jonathan looked over next to them and the male Brutus matched their trajectory perfectly and they flew in perfect formation. As they landed in the water and slowed down ARcane with his mind threw Jonathan on the back of Brutus. The Water Dragon said, "How can you be here? You aren't from this planet?" Jonathan replied, "I'm ARcane's student. He's training me."
The Water Dragon seemed incredulous and telepathed back. "How is that possible?"
"Arcane is very gifted and I am too on my home planet."
Brutus said, "Obviously." as they shot up like a bullet into the sky with Octavia his female.
Jonathan almost felt he was in a movie or something. How could all this be real?
ARcane said, "Truth is always stranger than fiction, Jonathan. If you don't remember anything else I teach you, don't forget that. Also, as long as you can stay centered as Mahasiddha you can create your own reality. Just don't let anyone even begin to try to control your thoughts. IF they do just imagine them gone.
Jonathan said, "Gone where?"
Arcane said, "Doesn't matter. Just Gone. Then later you can summon them back to life through spontaneous accomplishment."
Jonathan wouldn't let it go. "When they are gone are they dead?"
Arcane said, "NO. They just don't exist for a moment. They don't feel anything."
Jonathan said, "How is that possible?"
Arcane said, "Remember. IN actual reality truth is always much stranger than fiction. This is just one of the anomalies of being an Intergalactic Mahasiddha."
Jonathan said, "Is that what I am?"
Arcane said, "Remember. You are training to become Meridian. Eridian. Remember?"
Jonathan was sort of dumbfounded. He said, "That is really true?"
Arcane looked deeply into Jonathan and said, "Yep."
At the top of the next arc one mile into the sky while riding the water dragons as if there was no tomorrow Arcane said to Jonathan, "Why am I teaching you all this?"
Jonathan replied, "Because I am becoming Meridian, future Lord of the Heavens of Earth. I must learn to conduct souls to heaven from all over the universe who are preparing to incarnate on Earth after a stay in Earth Heavens. I must also conduct souls who are preparing to incarnate in other past, presents and futures both inside and outside of time and space and even into the formless realms. You are preparing me for this and much much more. You have met Meridian, He is one of your teachers, and he is the future Me."
Arcane sighed, "Yes. You understand. We can go back to Earth now." So in the middle of a weightless one mile high arc through the skies of New Deva 1 million years into the future, Jonathan was suddenly driving his car down a San Francisco Freeway towards his home once again. "My God, Arcane!" Arcane said, "Yes. God indeed is present in all our lives!" Jonathan was very quiet the rest of the way home just trying to make some sense of everything that had happened. He didn't want to accidentally die or something after all Arcane and Padma had done to help him make it as a Mahasiddha.
Home
Jonathan's wife Jan met them at the door. She said, "Who is this Padma you went to meet? Hi Arcane. It is so good to see you. How is Celeste in Switzerland?"
Arcane, always the perfect gentleman in any century or on any planet said, "Oh. She sends her best wishes, Jan."
Jan said, "Did you have a nice flight over, Arcane?"
Arcane said, "Yes. It was very quick" with a sly glance towards Jonathan. Jonathan smiled but almost choked on his food."
Jan knew a lot about who Jonathan and Arcane were but generally she just preferred her life to be sort of normal. She liked to shop and talk on her hands free satellite boost phone in her car and take care of the family. She was brilliant in her own right with 3 degrees from college. But now, she was mostly interested in taking care of both Arcane, her guest and Jonathan her husband. They all sat down to a late meal and talked a while.
Then Arcane retired to the guest bedroom and went home to Celeste after retiring. They liked to spend all the nights together that they could because of the kids. However, ARcane left a second body on automatic in Jonathan's guest bedroom should anyone need to speak with him during the night. It was only polite.
That night Jonathan's dreams were unlike any in his life: Padma came first and said, "You've survived your first tests. I'm very impressed with you Jonathan. I was told you would become Meridian. He and I have been friends a couple of thousand years now."
Jonathan found it extremely strange that Padma was talking about a person that Jonathan hadn't even become yet like he was still a child. Jonathan couldn't help ask, "What time does Meridian come from to see you?"
Padma had a strange look on his face. He said, "I don't perceive reality that way. I see you as the child that Meridian becomes, therefor my duty is to escort you to become my friend and teacher of all humanity."
Jonathan said, "You left me to die as a Mahasiddha."
Padma said, "That was a favor. If you couldn't make it death would have been painless and quick and without warning. That you didn't know this was all the better in protecting your soul from trauma and harm. If the angels had backfired you they would have understood you were a Mahasiddha in training. However, rules are rules." Padma smiled.
Jonathan thought, "He almost killed me and has no remorse."
Padma said, "You are thinking as a child like most of humanity. Now is the time to become an adult, Meridian."
Jonathan screamed as the sacred fire tore through his soul.
Padma said, "You passed the first test, Mahasiddha. But there are many many more."
Padma faded away and Jonathan knew he had just started to become Meridian in earnest. He had become a Jonathan Meridian composite. Now this was interesting. Now what was he going to do?
It took Jonathan a little time to recover from this experience. He had just come down from a visit up to Mt. Shasta with his cross country skis. Padma was waiting in front of his hotel room. Padma said, "Can I speak with you, Jonathan?"
Jonathan had very mixed feelings like when one unexpectedly meets a parent or relative when one doesn't expect it.
Padma said, "You are very lucky. You have a really great view of Mt. Shasta." Jonathan decided to ask an interesting question, "When did you first come here in this lifetime?" Padma had a twinkle in his eye and said, "It was around the time when I first learned to fly, to levitate. I was about 25 or 30, around there and had spent some time in the Himalayas after I learned that I wasn't supposed to die soon. So I found teachers that loved Buddha who were interested in me becoming this immortal Dharma Mahasiddha. So this was about 30 years before Buddha passed over to the pure lands."
Jonathan said, "Wow! That far back!"
Padma said, "There were Western Indians as the White Settlers called them when they came way over 2000+ years ago. I had heard about this mountain from yogis from Asia who had levitated and flown here. So, I decided to meet the mountain that they said was a lot like Mt. Kailash of East Indian Myths, legends, religions and culture. I found they were correct in all they said about this what you now call, Mt. Shasta."
Jonathan had to embrace again the immortal nature of Padma in his mind just to begin to cope with being around him. Jonathan said, "So, how do I actually become Meridian." Padma laughed the way Asian holy men always seem to at questions like this.
Jonathan felt like he was being laughed at at first but realized instead he had asked a very good question. Padma said, "Do you believe you are Meridian?" Jonathan said, "I now believe I actually am becoming Meridian. However, it feels pretty strange because I have met him so many times and he usually didn't lead with, "By the way, I'm you in the future!" Again Padma laughed at the incongruity of all this. My brain seemed to melt and I sort of felt like I was going to lose consciousness. However, instead I just tranfered over from being Jonathan to being Meridian to the point where I was both of them without feeling like I was freaking out. And I said, "I feel like I'm both Jonathan and Meridian now both at the same time." Padma said, "Exactly. That's exactly how you should feel from now on." The words, "From now on"-- seemed to stretch on out into infinity and the world spun and I was gone. I woke up and Padma had maybe just dragged me over to the bed. I asked him about this and he said, "No. It was easier just to see you on the bed as you fell so you would wake up like this."
I said, "I feel embarrassed by fainting, Padma." He looked at me and said, "That, is the least of your worries." And then he laughed again. This was all so much more than I had ever bargained for in my life. Ever.
I have a question Padma. He said, "Go ahead."
Jonathan said, "Why did you and Arcane as Saint Germain give me the Koan, "If you live to be 100, you will be 500. If you live to be 500 you will be 1000. If you live to be 5000. You will be 10,000?"
Padma said, "By the way, it doesn't end with 10,000. And then he laughed and though I stayed conscious my reality collapsed upon itself and I found myself without time or space. I appeared to be not on a planet and it reminded me of seeing God out by the Orion Nebula one time when I was young. Padma was appearing now as he had at about 25 to 30 years of age. He wore a loincloth and was naked except for thie loincloth. He said, "Why are you here?"
Jonathan said, "I think I'm here because this is where I met God when I was young."
Padma said, "Very Good. But that is only part of it. What did God tell you?"
Jonathan said, "He said that I was too serious." Padma laughed and said, "Now you know why I laugh so much. One can either laugh at the paradoxes or one can die from the paradoxes. It is always a conscious choice. And by the way you don't have to laugh like a banshee and scare everyone. I'm just laughing in front of you for the both of us so you don't just have a heart attack and die from all this. I'm doing my old friend Meridian a favor. Besides, he is one of my teachers too. I owe him this."
Jonathan said, "How can he go back in time and teach you?"
Padma smiled and said, "It's what enlightened beings do, they take turns teaching each other as they reincarnate. It's really hard to bring over all your wisdom and knowledge time after time, so you at the very least need hints to bring it all back each time."
Jonathan said, "I'd heard that was how it was done but hadn't had this kind of direct experience before in quite this way. I have another question, Do you know the other Koan you guys gave me which is: 'If you want to live forever, you might die right now, but if you are ready to die right now you may live forever' ".
Padma said, "The obsession of wanting to live forever kills the outcome. However, if you live each moment to the fullest you have the very best chance of immortality in one of many different types of forms."
Jonathan said, "What do you mean?"
Padma: "Well. There is the immortality of being constantly talked about and loved. But I can tell you this isn't really as satisfying as you might think. Next there is having your teachings endure because people either memorize them verbally or memorize your enlightenment songs and pass them down generation to generation. And finally there is real immortality where you become like me and Meridian and stay really immortal here on earth while you also live in the heavens of earth. There are also others like us, for example, Babaji, in the Himalayas and others."
Jonathan said, "I had heard about him through reading "Autobiography of a Yogi".
Padma said, "However, when you are like me and Meridian which you are now(his gaze withered me at this point) our service is of a different sort. The four functions that I find are most important that he and I bring are continuity, stability, compassion, and order. We tend to bring order to the comings and goings of souls, so things don't really get out of hand. Whereas beings like Jesus and Buddha come and burn very very bright and then are physically gone but their spirit remains in all their teachings touch all who believe in them for thousands and thousands of years."
Jonathan said, "Order?"
Padma said, "Did you ever read "Lord of the Flies"?
Jonathan said, "I can't really imagine you reading that."
Padma said, "There are many many things you don't know and couldn't imagine about me after my living 2500 years here on earth."
Jonathan said, "Yeah. That's a really long time."
Padma went on, "There needs to be some order to the comings and goings of beings on earth and our function is to provide that order when things start to get really out of hand."
Jonathan said, "How do you manifest order?"
Padma said, "It is much easier than you think. We manifest as many and as much of the prayers of mankind as is possible in any given moment."
Jonathan had to just wait awhile for that to sink in. "Yes. He thought. There was a symmetry to this."
