Koans,ancestors and ancient light

It is  useful to think of our ancestors as pioneers as they have gone on before us and lead the way. They can show us in their relevance a timelessness beyond orthodox linear restriction. Taoists “hold”  a view of vertical time where ALL knowledge is timelessly available beyond mere temporal mapping. Throughout the temporal stream masters of esoteric know-how  have struggled with the ability to pass on their illuminated realised learning.

Koans represent one method and creative solution to teaching this transmission. Koans, literally “public cases” to generate “Great Doubt”, were often born from the spontaneous sparring of fellow travellers of the Way with jarring humour, bemusement,shock or deep compassion used in the moment to dispel the confusion of students.

In the Rinzai sect of Zen (Chan- Linji) in particular koan study became a formalised way to test the depth of a student’s grasp of enlightened being and push them through self made barriers or conditioning. Pithy cryptic koan riddles and encounters give us a rich opportunity to see the world through the eyes of past masters into the expansive NOW. Wisdom teachers or saints share their light to transform our hearts beyond time.

John Tarrant, in his wonderful  book “Bring me the Rhinoceros”, suggests that koans are “vials of ancient light” where we have the opportunity to glimpse the world in this way. There is a direct transmission of Ultimate Realisation communicated in these “stories” in addition to their literary value. Seeing as they see, boundaries of time dissolve and we can perceive the same extraordinary insights or view. As a koan gives up its treasure, often after committed struggle, Wumen Huikai (Song period Chan master) wittily suggests that we “tangle up our eyebrows” with those of its instigator.

SELF denied Holy Warrior for Jesus Holy Trinity

global extermination by 2025 - And I've sent this & messaged DOD & military base's in new mexico re: Dulce's military base as well; It's gonna be a literal, human incomprehensible global bloodbath massacre & not even the word nightmare nor Crime's against humanity can scratch the surface. Including those fool's (devil court jester's) - The 'Utah Data Center', code-named "Bumblehive". And the Multiprogram Research Facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

ALL $ bought & sold out your humanity & NON-SELF owned Soul (as solely God owns ALL), but re: Even with & like THOSE upon indian reservation (no respect for THE LAND) = New Mexico's 7 mile's down Dulce military base (& their just ONE amidst USA, despite global elsewhere), but press - on your computer keyboard key's Ctrl & 'F' & search / find keyword - type in: Level 6 & see thereof text wordage around thereof: https://www.crystalinks.com/undergroundbases.html.

Do your own research, come to your own conclusion's, but DON'T deem vast that they have been doing & are (tick tock 'time', right now) aren't even worse so: global extermination by 2025, & whom TOP Power deem that 9-1-1 was JUST a TEST, to see just how the global masses would react & respond.

Globalist's, misc aren't really doing what they plan on, their really just passing the time, evil - senselessly, & their talk of reducing 7 billion plus down to 500 million, huh, OH don't think it'll stop there, oh no, just so Satan who solely started this Holy War against God, can eventually 'spite' God with exhibited all human eventually narrowed down & killed, like Satan's timeless laughing off it's ass at us (having put on a clueless humor show for that beast) & deeming to God, "LOOK AT THEM ALL, YOUR SO-CALLED PRIDE & JOY, THEIR SUPPOSE TO REPRESENT YOU?!"

And you gonna tell me (fellow human's) THAT no bothers you? OH it will, upon Coming Judgment Day before Jesus per / via your Heaven Life Record (everyone has one, even Adam & Eve), OH . . . I 'GET' much BECAUSE I chose to SELF denyingly Holy Warrior rise up for solely Holy Trinity. You (CARE?) to read - hear more? Huh, fine, it's NOT my Holy intel & I'm no threat nor lone wolf (as lone wolf is NOT in nor of Holy Trinity). Men in Black? Crime's against humanity NO even begin to scratch the surface.

Like judge Marshall ("Time Cop") said, "The sentence is DEATH, to be carried out IMMEDIATELY!" NO waiting around for the right cocktail, & thereof WATCH & WITNESS just how fast 6' x 9', misc tier's would be cleared & emptied!

Know that it was Adam that sinned first, NOT Eve BUT old men long ago would have vast past since - to date believe otherwise, & why would anyone think? YEAH, huh, right.

Here's another one: When satan got defeated re: Jesus's testing in the desert, Satan just deemed (BECAUSE of '?', ROGUE us all as a whole FROM Holy Trinity), "Fine Satan would just go after Jesus's next best thing, HIS Little One's 'children / kids' through the adult's".

Humanity could & should have SELF denyingly chosen to Holy Warrior rise up & represent solely Holy Trinity - as to why we were created & thought up in the first with WITH all we'd ever need ie: gift's, talent's, skill's & free will, NOT EVER to exhibitedly deem (UGH) that God is somehow a maid & janitor for us?

Uh, NOT HE wouldn't even have to exhale & we'd go out quicker than a candle & think NOT fellow humanity why Jesus REALLY came, huh, there'd be WHAT? Animatedly White streak's down all adult's back in fear & terror finding out the REAL Truth, with that we were solely created to self denyingly care take of each & Earth, NOTHING off!

And the dying Earth? Try: The Natural balance is off - once like a force field shielding, like a computer firewall going down, thus, having allowed in, because of Adam first & THEN Eve, which Satan seeing Adam failing God priorly THEN did God allow Satan to try testing Eve.

And re: children / kid's, Jesus: "If any adult's keep any of these Little one's from me, they will NEVER see my Father". MUCH has been changed, suppressed, misc by whether the Vatican, fill in the blank's over centuries, even destroyed so that later humanity would NOT know of the truth or say that - to do such, simply would have been purposely not been recorded so as to deem that it just never happened & thus, later humanity would not know.

Yeah, I know much BUT it AIN'T me, it's Holy Trinity, per / via HIm 'touching' me, knowing I'd be shunned but I don't care because I will die for Jesus & have past since - to date until my eventual death, SELF denied voluntary & chosenly Holy Warrior for Jesus Holy Trinity.

Huh two thing's: THEY of whether globalist's, etc or TOP - down globally deem cluelessly that - 1) Satan started this nevertheless 70 century - to date Holy War against God, 2) Adam FIRST, NOT Eve, sinned & then Eve of course but old men long ago changing writing's would have any & all believe otherwise, & SO . . . what then? Satan wins? YEAH, NOT! THINK AGAIN!

And THEN, there's thi
