Kalachakra means "The wheel of Time"
So, when I write about His Oneness in Shambala I am writing actually about the King of Shambala who is the Time Lord of Earth for this galaxy and maintains all the timelines here on earth. He lives in a place Called Shambala which is a dimensional place where no one dies. It was constructed when a time anomaly hit earth and killed all the people on it in the past somewhere between 70,000 and 100,000 years ago I'm guessing. So, he has been Time Lord of Earth since then when he constructed Shambala so some humans could survive there until the Time Anomaly passed so all humans on earth since then had to Go to Shambala while the Time Anomaly hit Earth likely from another Galaxy? This is what I get so far.
The Kalachakra is about Tibetan Buddhists returning to Shambala which is a pure land or Heaven Realm that all Tibetan Buddhists want to go to when they pass over.
all the members of my immediate family (the five of us alive in 1985 and 1986) received the Kalachakra initiation from the Dalai Lama over I think about 4 or 5 days in Bodhgaya in late December of 1985 after we flew from Bangkok Thailand to Kathmandu and then rented a car and driver to take us to the Indian Border at I think Raxaul, India. From there we took buses mostly to Bodhgaya where we met Geshe Lobsang Gyatso who we met in Santa Cruz, California who signed us up as foreign recipients of the Kalachakra Tantra from the Dalai Lama.
About 500,000 people were there in Bodhgaya, India from all over the world to receive this initiation from the Dalai Lama then.

Kalachakra,
meaning "Wheel of Time," is a profound, comprehensive tantric system within Tibetan Buddhism
focused on achieving enlightenment to promote world peace. It
integrates cosmology, psychology, and meditation, dividing existence
into outer, inner, and alternative cycles—linking cosmic time to the
body's internal channels.Core Components of Kalachakra
- The Three Cycles: The Outer deals with the external world/environment, the Inner with the human body's channels and elements, and the Alternative with meditative practices for liberation, including initiations and the generation/completion stages.
- Significance: It is considered one of the highest yoga tantras, often conferred by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to large audiences to foster inner and outer harmony.
- The Mandala: The Kalachakra Mandala is a complex, artistic representation of the deity (with 722 others) and the enlightened mind, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all existence.
- Practice: Practitioners use specialized meditations, visualization, and chanting to purify their body, speech, and mind.
- Initiation: The ritual involves multiple empowerments (e.g., vase, crown, vajra, name) designed to ripen the disciple's consciousness, often lasting several days.
The Kalachakra tradition provides a method to overcome suffering and the cycles of karma, aiming for a peaceful, awakened state.

Vajrasattva came to me at the fire lookout in 1985 and told me I was going to India on December 10th 1985
I think this was October on one of the last few weeks I was working at the Fire Lookout at around 4000 feet elevation then. Being there gave me a lot of time by myself and so Vajrasattva (a Tibetan Buddhist high Diety) came to me and told me that I was going to India around December 10th 1985.
I have lived long enough to know that when God and Angels come to me that they are always right.
So, I went home after that 4 day shift at the fire lookout and told my wife we were going to India by December the 10th. Her comment was: "How will we pay for this?"
I said, "I don't know but this appears to be happening."
Within a month an inheritance came in and made us going more possible.
Then I called a local travel agent and they wanted 10,000 dollars just for airfare for the whole family to go to Asia so at this point this was just too much money and so I gave up the idea.
Then my mother joined us and an old friend to walk down the Haight Ashbury Section of San Francisco sort of reminiscing about the 1960s in San Francisco when he was a writer for the "Berkeley Barb".
Then my mother saw a special in a window of 250 dollars for a week or two in Hawaii at a Travel Agency and wanted to go inside to enquire. So, i went in with her because this sounded too good to be true.
Then I realized that this place was amazing because they also sold discount tickets that were open ended for College researchers like Archeologists and I realized this might be the way for us to go to India and Nepal and Thailand and Japan!
So, I asked about this and he said that it would be 6000 dollars to travel to Kathmandu through Narito Aiport in japan and Bangkok, thailand on the way to Kathmandu, Nepal. I had the money with me I think in Traveler's checks or a check from the bank from my checkbook so I wrote a check for 6000 dollars to this Travel place and bought 5 open ended 6 month tickets to Kathmandu through Japan and Thailand and we could even go to Hong Kong if we wanted to.
However, we never went to Hong Kong simply because we wanted to do that on the way back but by then in late March of 1986 we were too sick from Giardia (4 of the 5 of us).
So, this is actually how we got to Kathmandu, Nepal and India which was the trip of a lifetime from December 11th when we flew out of San Francisco to Narito Airport in japan 1st class on a JAL Boeing 747 which was a completely amazing experience then.
So, Vajrasattva was right who is the highest evolved Buddha in the Universe along with his consort Nyema. They got us to India and Nepal and Thailand and Japan on time.

Betty doesn't need a religion because she will naturally make her own religion
A good friend of my mother's (who actually was my father's first wife) said this of my mother which is a very prescient thing to say about her.
However, later after this lady who was my father's first wife left him got pregnant and moved to Florida and I don't think my father ever saw or heard from her ever again.
But, still she said this amazing thing about my mother.
And the same is likely true of me. Why is this true?
Because my mother and I have always been clairvoyant so Angels have talked to us our whole lives and told us what to do next to survive whatever came in our lives.
Also, my mother and her mother are full blooded Scottish which in both their cases means that they are naturally very mystical and amazing people. So, though both of them would call themselves Christians they were both more into Progressive Revelation which to me means "God is a real Experience along with the Angels 24 hours a day."
And a person like this doesn't really need a church or a religion simply because they are already with God 24 hours a day all the time and speaking to God and his Angels directly 24 hours a day all the time.

How did I discover Tibetan Buddhism?
It's a long process but I think it really got started when my father and I read together "My Life in Tibet" by Ding le may or J Edwin Dingle published in 1952:
The author travelled across China from Shanghai, where he was a journalist, to the hidden temple, where he meets his Tibetan spiritual master.
People also ask
Is the movie 7 Years in Tibet based on a true story?
end quote:
Reading this book with my father and visiting his Dingle's Church in Joshua Tree, California and seeing it was built by Frank Lloyd Wright a very famous architect began my path towards Tibetan Buddhism more than anything else.
I think I was inspired by the passage in the book about the Tibetan Lama who put an orange seed in his hand and then grew an orange tree out of his hand more than anything else at the time.
I inherently knew that doing something like this was possible but likely wouldn't happen here in America simply because we are just so very materialistic as a nation that that would prevent this type of thing from happening here I believed at the time.
However, now I see that other things were true I never would have imagined also in regard to Tibetan Buddhism that I never would have believed then in the 1970s.
So, when I actually went to India and Nepal and met Tibetan Lamas who were Tibetan Refugees in Bodhgaya, India with the Dalai Lama and the Kalachakra (which means "wheel of Time") all this began to change a lot.
I began to see Tibetan Buddhism as something basically scientific that Americans mostly would have a hard time understanding because of our very materialistic mind set.
So, the reality was more like the following true story:
There is something called the "kata Cloth" which is a blessing cloth that Lamas wear around their necks that are blessing scarfs from other Teacher High Lamas as they bless those arising in spiritual power and blessings.
Well, the Chinese Soldiers invading Tibet took a High Lama's kata cloth and stuffed it down his throat so he couldn't breathe and was dying. So, he turned a cup on the table inside out with his mind before he died to demonstrate to the soldiers that they were killing a true holy man who could have killed them with his mind if he had wanted to but instead chose to die because of his "Ahimsa Vows" of harmlessness to all living things in the universe.
This was much closer to reality than the orange seed growing in the High Tibetan Lamas hand I realized while there in India and Nepal. Though I wanted to go to Tibet then I didn't want my family dying on the way there because the only way in at that time was by bus to Lhasa from Kathmandu, Nepal over a 20,000 foot high pass and my friend, Vincent Cooper had taken this bus to Lhasa, Tibet but also saw a busload of Dead people at the top of the pass whose bus had broken down and they all died there and were left mummified by the altitude in that bus broken down. I didn't want this to happen to my children then so I didn't ever get to Lhasa or Tibet then when I was 37 and in Kathmandu, Nepal at that time.
The point is that most of Tibetan Buddhism is very scientific.
This is basically it right here. You CAN experience unlimited power as a spiritual being.
However, if you do this without having deep compassion for all life in the Universe you will soon die.
This is the main thing I learned while in India and Nepal around Tibetan Lamas and Tibetan Buddhists.
Its' all real very real but unless you learn compassion for all life in the universe first BEFORE you embark on this path you will soon die!
So, it's all very scientific and powerful like a Passenger Jet full of Tibetan Buddhists Traveling across the skies from one continent to another instead of rowing in a boat alone all the way across the Pacific Ocean back to the U.S.
So, Tashi Delek!
(which means Good Luck in Tibetan)
Yes, Seven Years in Tibet is based on the true story and autobiography of Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer,
detailing his escape from a British POW camp in India during WWII and
his time in Tibet, including his friendship with the young Dalai Lama,
though the film takes creative liberties for dramatic effect, such as
embellishing relationships and depicting certain events.
Key Truths:
- Real Person: The story centers on Heinrich Harrer (Brad Pitt in the film).
Religion is a fairy tale we believe in so we all don't go running screaming off a cliff
This is where I think I should start.
I was going to title this: "My Childhood religion was the worst and the best thing that happened to me growing up". However, I think I like this title better because it more succinctly describes what most people experience the first time someone they love dies like their mother or father or brother or sister.
So, I suppose that Religion does have a purpose sort of like people believing in Disneyland who go there on Halloween dressed up as Cartoon characters that were important to them growing up as children.
How was my religion the worst experience of my life?
It almost killed me between 20 and 25 which destroyed my 20s for me. However, it also allowed me to walk away from my childhood religion and people in it and recreate myself as a better and more useful person so I could actually survive my life until I am presently 77 years old. At this point I can see I could easily live to 100 or more. If I had stayed in my childhood religion likely I would have been dead by 25 or 30. Why?
Because it wasn't practical enough for me to stay there any longer. So I left.
I think the really big thing that drove me away was the following:
My girlfriend (a member of this church) decided that she wanted to marry me and have a celibate relationship with me with no children. This was just too much for me because having children would be the ONLY real reason at the time that I saw getting married as useful to me. Why?
Because I found most adults incredibly boring simply because I'm extremely intelligent. Only Children seemed worth being around very much because everyone else was crazy and boring. This had always been my experience growing up during the 1950s when adults mostly seemed like the following statement:
"Born died 20 buried 60"
So, for me, not having children in my life made me want to be dead basically.
So, this girlfriend was asking me to go bury herself in the ground with me. This is exactly what I thought at the time. Born died 20 buried 60. And I was 21 at the time so I broke up with her.
However, I really loved her but was too practical to destroy both her life and my own and my future children's lives too by marrying her and dying at 20 and being buried at 60.
Was this a good decision? At the time this decision almost killed me between 20 and 25 but what did I know? I was 21 at the time.
However, in the long run this was totally the right decision for me if I could survive all this which I eventually did.
Many don't survive these kinds of things in their lives. I have noticed this a lot now I'm 77 years old and have watched people go through all kinds of things and watched people die really young.
So, I'm grateful I had the strength and wisdom so young to have survived all this.
How was my religion the best thing that happened to me as a child and as a young adult?
It's not so much the religion itself was the best thing that happened to me it was the people I met growing up who had a positive influence in my life. They taught me many things I wouldn't have known otherwise.
Was it perfect? No not by a long shot. But, what it was most like was a White ONLY Country Club I belonged to with my parents (especially Shasta Springs) which for me as a child was heaven on earth up in the mountains in the summer time. So, I was safe when I was there mostly and no one was going to kill me which was great by me. and the trees and the sacramento River was Beautiful and the people were all nice to me then. I didn't have to worry about anyone killing me or physically harming me while I was in Shasta Springs in between Dunsmuir and the little City of Mt. Shasta then for those 2 weeks or more each summer I spent there most years between age 5 and 21.
So, this part of my religious experience was like going to a very safe summer camp every year mostly from age 5 to age 21 years of age when I finally left.
So, what's a person to make of all this?
Somehow I survived most of the good things and bad things that happened to me and I survived now to 77 years old and there will always be a place in my heart for the area of Mt. Shasta and Jesus and Saint Germain because of all these years I have spent now in this area.
This is the paradox of religion in our lives because I don't think I'm alone in all this. Do you?
