    The Guru is that being who is removing darkness,
    ignorance. He or she is not a giver of light or truth.
    The light is already there as the core of our being.
    The master is simply dispelling the darkness,
    and revealing the Self that is timelessly present
    and yet overlooked for so long.
    And he has the power, grace
    and compassion to make this happen.
    The term Guru also means the real Self
    or one who is awake to his true nature
    as the Supreme Being.
    The Guru is one with reality.
    The Guru is identical with your own real nature.
    Therefore, your true Self and Guru are one.

    I don't post videos, and I hope that's okay.

    But I'd like to quote Swedenborg again. This time about 'enchantments' - the purposeful use of black arts to confuse and reverse belief. It is part of Swedenborg's contention that there is an arcanum in the great works (in this case the bible), a secret underlying message that cannot be deciphered without Divine Influx (spiritual insight or revelation):

    Since at this day it is not known what is meant by 'enchantments', it shall briefly be explained. 'Enchantments' are mentioned in the above passage, in place of the eight precept of the Decalogue, 'Thou shall not bear false witness', for the three other 'evils', which are 'murder', 'whoredom', and 'thefts', are named. 'To bear false witness' signifies, in the natural sense, to act the part of a false witness, to lie and defame; and in the spiritual sense, to confirm and pusuade that falsity is truth, and that evil is good; from which it is evident, that by 'to enchant' is signified to pursuade to what is false, and thus to destroy truth.

    Enchantments were in use among the ancients, and were performed in three ways:

    First, they kept the hearing and thus the mind of another continually intent upon his words and sayings, without relaxing anything from them; and, at the same time, aspiring and inspiring thought conjoined with affection, by means of the breath, into the sound of speech, whereby the hearer could not think anything from himself; thus the falsifiers poured in their falsities with violence.

    Secondly, they infused a persuasion, which was done by detaining the mind from everything contrary, and keeping the attention exclusively to the idea of that which was said by them, hence the spiritual sphere of his mind dispelled the spiritual fascination which the magi of old used, and which was called the binding and tying of the understanding. This kind of enchantment pertained only to the spirit or thought, but the former to the lips or speech also.

    Thirdly, the hearer kept his mind so fixed in his own opinion, that he almost shut his ears against hearing anything from the speaker, which was done by holding the breath, and sometimes by tacit muttering, and thus by a continual denial of his adversary's sentiment. This kind of enchantment was practiced by those who heard others, but the two former by those who spake to others.

    These three kinds of enchantment prevailed among the ancients, and prevail still among infernal spirits; but with men in this world there only the third, and this with those who, from the pride of their own intelligence, have confirmed in themselves the falsities of religion; for these, when they hear things contrary, admit them no further into their thought than to mere contact, and then from the interior recess of their mind they emit as it were a fire which consumes them, about which the other knows nothing except by indications from the countenance and the sound of the voice in the reply; provided the enchanter does not, by dissimulation, restrain that fire, or what is the same, the anger of his pride.

    This kind of enchantment operates at the present day to prevent truths from being accepted, and, with many, to their not being understood.


    I thought it relevant on so many levels and to different topics - like the holding of the breath in terms of mask wearing, for instance.

    finally, paraphrased to facilitate continuity...:

    ...in ancient times magical arts prevailed (for) the persuasion of falsity and thus, destruction of truth.

    An interesting fact about meditation.
    Iam colour blind so only receive limited colour information to the brain to be interpreted. The best example I can give of what it's like is this.
    Imagine there are a hundred shades of red, well I see just five all the other ninety five shades are just red.
    When you meditate give about ten minutes for the normal light to go and the third eye kicks in.
    It's then full colour all the other beautifully glorious ninety five missing shades kick in,mostly purples gold reds green,and that's how you know when your colour blind your not seeing with your eyes anymore
