When eyes are open you see a world referred to in ancient times as the world of maya, matter, mother the world of illusion. Open eyes see the world of make believe, the world where tiny people have grouped together to form everything you see, cause the things you see in the world of maya eventually return to thier true nature. True nature being the world you see in your mind when your eyes are closed , meaning your mind is far closer to reality when your eyes are closed compared to when eyes are open. And one of the greatest mysteries in this world that few are aware of is that , very very much happens to mind immediately you close your eyes. For example i do taichi, and the moment i close my eyes, i feel like a different person and the tachi is is far smoother. Breath in goes with eyes open that is work, breath out goes with eyes closed for you to get the enlightenment from the work you just did with breathe in and eyes open, and thew cycle continues. If the breathing is done for you, you get breath, but not enlightenment, so they call this mediation, the highest form of prayer is done with breath only. In short you become a god, when you close your eyes. In ancient times it was so widely known that eyes closed is wisdom that there was an ancient god called i think abraxis whose statue always shows him with one eye closed to indicate the wise one. Close your eyes often to see, never stay awake too long else you miss the action in the real world. |

Odingo1: Do you think it is always necessary to make noise in neighbourhood as a good form of worship. It was a small gathering that needed no electronics for noise. We had light and could hear one another clearly. Don't be mischievous. |

Very funny. But I'm not surprised you're no longer consistent even though that's the exact opposite of what your mom wanted. African parents make this mistake of filling children's heads with bullshit because they think it'll provide a better result or the kids are too young for the knowledge. It's different in the west where they tell kids the truth of where babies come from but just keep the fine details. It makes kids smarter and more likely to think logically. Timagex: 1 Like |

MessiahOfAfrica:You're right but it's an African thing. Most African parents find it difficult to say some certain things because they believe children are too young to hear them which is wrong. Like for instance they won't mention the word "Penis" in front of their children. They would prefer to call it funny names like tintin, sintรจ, pimpim etc. I taught my 14yr old cousin so many things she knows now, her mum is the religious type who would prefer to speak in parables. Whenever I am giving her sex education I don't hold back anything, I say it raw. 2 Likes 1 Share |
