The cause of the descent, or embodiment, of the Soul
Or, that there is no cause of Soul's descent. The alpha principle
behind Emanationism
Copyright 2-2008 webmaster attan.com

The most ancient and unsolved mystery of the cause, impetus,
reasoning, logic behind the soul's descent is something unsolved by
all save Platonism and Buddhism/Advaita/Vedanta, and sadly though
Buddhism...

Apologies all for lateness.

Having introduced the monkey how can his predicament be solved?

Trungpa suggests coming to an understanding and transcendence of ego.
Working backwards through the five Skandhas (see development of the
ego) using meditation.

The last Skandha results in irregular thought patterns flitting across
the mind. To clarify the confusion Trungpa says it's helpful to
examine the ideas of the four noble truths. They are; the truth of
suffering, the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the goal
and the truth of the path.

Starting with the truth of suffering is to start with the monkey's
confusion. Duhkha, witch Trungpa translates as "suffering",
"dissatisfaction" or "pain". The root of duhka is the constant whirl
in our heads. Thoughts of the past, the present the future. On and on,
we end up with the feeling that things are not quite right, and we
must try to fix them.

Somehow we never have time to taste life, we're always grasping for
whats next, even when we have pleasure we are afraid of losing it.
Understanding and confronting suffering is the next step.

God, Peter Ray (Thubten Pema Tenzin), one of the most immoral and well
known English teachers to have stepped foot in Thailand, next to Mr.
John Karr who was deported last year and then released for being the
same nut case.

I cannot believe this man has the never to even accuse Mr. James
Parson of these allegations let alone in public.

This Peter Ray will claim to know personally and has had one-on-one
encounters "as he says so in person". The Queen of England, The Dali
Lama, The King and Queen of Thailand (said he shook his hands at a
dinner), Pope John Paul, Mother Teresa, the head of the CIA (which he
claims to be a covert spy working for them "undercover") and the man
who plays "Yoda" in Star Wars 2, 3 and so on.

He was deported a year ago for telling the Immigration office near
Sathorn, he had been working for a school located near Bang Kea
without a work permit.
