Bodies

Once again entering the territory of topics and teachings that should not be discussed in their completeness within a general audience, I have recently been investigating such territory. This time, I have been exploring the generating of dream bodies, in relation to their assistance to living as a Buddhist practitioner.

Whereas many who practice Buddhism in the Western world may be satisfied to simply attempt to follow the eightfold path to the best of their ability, I have always been led toward the deeper teachings, hidden ground, and borderline areas. For some reason, I seem to find these places easier to understand than the everyday level teachings. I assume that I have made progress within these areas in former lives.

The purpose of my recent investigations is that I have a problem with helping humanity. I find it much easier to assist birds and bugs, but there seems to be a blockage when it comes to helping my fellow humans. As the state of the planet reveals, it is the human population that appears to need the most assistance. I simply felt helpless and unable to do anything on the regular level, and so I have been investigating other levels of Buddhism.

I shall not go into full detail, but will say that I am finding new ways in which to regain my hope for the future of THIS world, after observing the planet and wondering if anyone will ever fix it 'in time' - and if it is 'too late' to bother trying to help out.
