inanga > Broken Wing Snapped on my Apple iPhone Saturday Afternoon 5 December 2009 Dedicated to Emma Curtis Hopkins, mystic and prophet (1849-1925) Wiki tells you a little more: [Emma Curtis] Hopkins was initially a student of the Christian Science of Mary Baker Eddy, who claimed to have found in the Christian Bible a science behind the healing miracles of Jesus which could be practiced by anyone. She would afterwards (see below) leave Christian Science to develop her own more eclectic form of metaphysical idealism, known later as New Thought with, like it, certain mystical traits of Gnosticism, though Hopkins felt much freer to make affinities with Theosophy and a wide variety of Eastern teachings. Differing from Eddy's lead in speaking of God as both Mother and Father, Hopkins conceptualized the Trinity as three aspects of divinity, each playing a role in different historical epochs: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Mother-Spirit or Holy Comforter. Hopkins believed (as did Eddy, though not as parochially) that spiritual healing was the Second Coming of Christ into the world, and this was the hallmark of her early work. Hopkins also believed more specifically that the changing roles of women indicated their prominence in the Godhead, signaling a new epoch identified by the inclusion of the Mother aspect of God. While Phineas Parkhurst Quimby is sometimes described as the founder of New Thought, he died in 1866, and New Thought did not formally organize until Hopkins brought together and focused the national movement in 1886-88 with the base in Chicago. Her first work Class Lessons 1888 ignited flash points for organized New Thought. She later authored Drops of Gold and Scientific Christian Mental Practice (1888) as well as a prolific body of written work. She was acclaimed for the giftedness of her personal lectures. Those that heard her speak noted her charismatic oratory. Her magnum opus High Mysticism is perhaps best read after familiarity with the groundwork of her other writings. She authored the International Bible Lessons in the Chicago Inter-Ocean newspaper (1887-94, an apparent echo of the Bible Lessons central to Christian Science). Hopkins is often referred to as the "Teacher of teachers" or the "The mother of New Thought". Those who studied with Hopkins included the Fillmores, founders of Unity; Ernest Holmes, founder Religious Science; Malinda Cramer and Nona L. Brooks founders of Divine Science; and Harriet Emilie Cady, author of Unity's cornerstone text Lessons in Truth.'

inanga > Satyagraha THE HEART OF SIDDHA YOGA 1 Siddha Yoga and meditation on the Self do not oppose any religion, sect, or code of ethics. 2 This meditation revolution does not violate the laws of any government. 3 It is not against any caste or social class. 4 It does not argue with either the good or bad qualities of any country. 5 This mediatation revolution is opposed to hatred among people, lack of consideration, ignorance, indolence, and falsehood. 6 This Siddha Yoga revolution endeavors to establish industriousness, to bring about oneness on the earth, knowledge, a search for the inner Consciousness, and the attainment of one's own Self. 7 This Siddha Yoga revolution is founded on high principles. It is an invitation to universal brotherhood. Because light, truth, and peace exist in all, we should love one another with respect for the Self in all. 8 Siddha Yoga takes no interest in differences. It does not argue about bigotry or cults. In Siddha Yoga, there is no room for cultism. Siddha Yoga is the same as it was thousands of years ago at the creation of the universe. Then there were yogis and great sages who had transcended their minds, and Siddha Yoga was born from their arduous 'sadhana' and ultimate perfection. Siddha Yoga is the teaching of those great beings who had fully attained the Truth and who had become one with Paramashiva, the all-pervasive Consciousness and Supreme Guru. This field of knowledge is beyond human ambition, beyond the mind and imagination. It is a venerable path to the realization of Truth. We follow it seeking the supreme love of our own inner Consciousness. 9 The main task of Siddha Yoga is to unfold fully the God-consciousness which lies hidden in all human beings. It culminates in the experience of 'I am That' - the experience of our identity with God - and in the attainment of our own inner joy. Siddha Yoga destroys our negativities; it removes the dullness and lack of clarity of our minds; and it eradicates the differences among religions, people, and colors. By respecting all. Siddha Yoga dispels the hatred that continually arises in the world. 10 The task of Siddha Yoga is to put an end to the notion of duality - to distinctions of high and low, superior and inferior, rich and poor - to arguments and disputes, to the race-track competition among people, and to the futile rushing toward a dream of progress. Siddha Yoga enables one to make the journey through the world with supreme bliss. 11 Siddha Yoga teaches: "May all people everywhere live happily and peacefully. May everyone become free of hatred, jealousy, and enmity. May no one see pain, even in a dream." Siddha Yoga is the abode of love for all. 12 In Siddha Yoga, we attain the knowledge of our birthright. 13 Siddha Yoga nurtures one who wants the good fortune of reveling in the delightful game of the inner Self. Through it, one attains inner joy and achieves fulfilment in life. 14 Through the pursuit of Siddha Yoga, the inner conscious energy called Kundalini is awakened; yogic movements, or 'kriyas', automatically occur; and this great energy is fully unfolded. 15 A seeker experiences the energy with him [or her] as having complete knowledge of all spiritual practices. In the kriyas of Siddha Yoga, there is no danger. 16 Siddha Yoga affirms that the individual soul is nothing other than the Absolute. There is not the slightest difference between the individual and God. 17 Because the Self identifies itself with the mind, then the senses and physical body, it is called the experiencer. When it comes in contact with the powers of action,* it calls itself the doer. When it comes in contact with the senses of perception, it calls itself the perceiver. Through its attachment to the body, it undergoes birth and death. 18 Through Siddha Yoga, the Self attains the knowledge of its true nature and immortality. It becomes aware, "I am deathless". 19 When the inner energy is awakened through Siddha Yoga, a seeker may immediately experience a surge of extraordinary bliss and ecstasy. 20 In Siddha Yoga, Kundalini is called 'Chidananda-lahari', the wave of blissful consciousness; 'Paramananda-lahari', the wave of supreme bliss; or 'Satchitananda, absolute existence, consciousness, and bliss.

inanga > Avatrix_Wambie@thegettycenter.com The Avatrix is ever persistent. First she ingratiates herself into your hard drive, then she unleases her ordered chaos. The goodly Avatrix wanted to place her Oscar in situ so she followed me in an iPhone recently. Then she transfered back to the hard drive here in New Zealand. So ever a prisoner of her encroaching consciousness I was gently coerced into placing this piece on SmugMug. She bears a striking resemblance to Penelope Cruz... And she is ever the Avatrix. collage by inanga, the rest courtesy of Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox 2009
inanga > Paddy and Nugget and Red HSV Holden Paddy used to drive a Ford - top of the line with plenty of torque - around 600 Newton-metre. Just recently he jumped the fence and went for a Holden HSV R8. I am not a petrol-head so I might have got this all wrong. Anyway, Paddy celebrated by getting a new tattoo over an old one. The result is the centerpiece in this celebration of the color RED. The other guy in the collage is Nugget. As Nugget would nonchalantly quip: "I just came along for the ride.' photos courtesy of Apple iPhone, Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox 2009
inanga > FJ Holden Cafe, Hughendon, Queensland, Australia detail from 'Beyond the Town, Oz' And here is a great place to put AUSTRALIANA, by Austentayshus 'Sittin' at home last Sunday mornin' me mate Boomer rang. Said he was havin' a few people around for a barbie. Said he might Cook a burra or two. I said, "Sounds great, will Walla be there?" He said "Yeah and Vegie might come too". So I said to the wife "Do you wanna go Anna?". She said "I'll go if Ding goes". So I said to Boomer "What'll we do about Nulla?" He said "Nulla bores me to tears, leave him at home." We got to the party about two and walked straight out the kitchen to put some booze in the fridge. And you wouldn't believe it, there's Boomer's wife Warra sittin there tryin to plait her puss! Now, I don't like to speak ill o' Warra, but I was shocked, I mean how much can a Koala bare. So I grabbed a beer, flashed me wanga at her and went out and joined the party. Pretty soon Ayers rocks in and things really started jumpin'. This Indian girl, Marsu, turns up, dying to go to the toilet but she couldn't find it. I said to me mate Al, "Hey, where can Marsu pee Al?" He said "She can go outback with the fellas, she's probably seen a cock or too". Well just then Warra comes out of the kitchen with a few drinks for everybody. Fairdinkum, you've never seen a cooler bar maid. I grabbed a beer and said, "Thanks Warra - tah". A couple of Queenslanders at the party, one smellin' pretty strongly of aftershave. He sat down next to me and I turned to him and I said, "Ya know mate, You reek o' Stockade!" It was a really hot day; Oscar felt like a swim. He said to Ina, "Do you want a have a dip in the river Ina?" She said "I haven't got my cossie Oscar". Well Bo says, "Come in starkers, what'll 'ey care!" Ina says "What, without so much as a thread Bo?" Ah, perish 'er thought! Has Eucum been in yet? Well a few of the blokes decided to play some cricket. Boomer says "Why doesn't Wom bat?" "Yeah, and let Tenter field". He said I should have a bowl but I was too out of it to play cricket so I suggested a game of cards. I said to Lyptus "Wanna game of Euca Lyptus?" He said "There's no point mate, Dah wins everytime." Well Bill said he'd like a smoke. Nobody knew where the dope was stashed. I said "I think Maree knows." But I was just spinning a bit of a yarn. Barry pulls a joint out of his pocket. Bill says "Great, Barry, a reefer. What is it mate?" "Noosa Heads of course. Me mate Ada laid 'em on me." And it was a great joint too, blew Mountains away and his three sisters. Well I thought I'd roll one meself, I said "Chuck us the Tally Ho Bart". He said "They're out on the Lawn, Ceston, can you get em for us?" Burnie says "It's okay mate, she's apples, I'll get em for ya" Just then Alice springs into action, starts to pack Bill a bong. And you wouldn't believe it, the bongs broken. I said "Lord, How?" "Hay-man" somebody said "Will a Didgeridoo?" I said "Hummmmm mummmm mummmmm mummmmm maybe it'll have ta." I look in the corner and there's Bass sittin there, not getting into it, not getting out of it, I said "What, is Bass straight or somthin?" Boomer said "As a matter a fact mate, he's a cop" I said "Ya jokin mate, a cop, I'm getting outta here, let's go Anna." She said "No way, I'm hangin round till Gum leaves. Besides, I don't wanna leave Jack around a party on his own. Have you seen him? I think he's trying to crack on to Woomba, he's already tried to mount Isa And he'll definitely try to lead you astray Liana!"

inanga > 'Crisis in Darfur' My mate Simon the Peacemaker spent a bit of time in Darfur as a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). He told me of the utter chaos of the situation. We both reflected that this is not possible in the sophisticated world of today. Our fellows have been abandoned in the desert - their homes burned to the ground, their loved ones killed, their faith trodden upon - condemned to a constant life of fear and anxiety. How can this be? Africa is forgotten, abandoned to the 'too-hard-basket' of Western complacency. It is our collective karma, and the persistence of such acts of genocide impedes our development to higher planes. It is as simple as that...the collective apathy towards our fellows in reflected in each one of us. background inanga's paintings, Google, Google Earth and wiki images courtesy of Picasa 3, SmugMug, Google and Mozilla Firefox 2009 inanga
