“Little Buddha”
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
Story: Bernardo Bertolucci
Screenplay: Rudy Wurlitzer and Mark Peploe
(1993)

Keanu Reeves, Bridget Fonda, Alex Wiesendanger, Chris Isaak, Ying Ruocheng

Mara – You who will go where no one else will dare.  Will you be my god?

Siddhartha – Architect. Finally I have met you. You will not rebuild your house again.

Mara – But I am your house and you live in me.

Siddhartha – Oh Lord of my own Ego, you are pure illusion, you do not exist. The earth is my witness.

Lama Norbu – Siddhartha won the battle against an army of demons, just through the force of his love, and the great compassion he had found. And he achieved a great calm that precedes detachment from illusions. He had reached beyond himself. He was beyond joy or pain, separate from judgment, able to remember that he had been a girl, a dolphin, a tree, a monkey.  He remembered his first birth, and the minute after that, he could see beyond the universe.  Siddhartha had seen the ultimate reality of all things. He had understood that every movement in the universe is an effect provoked by a cause. He knew there was no salvation without compassion for every other being.  From that moment on, Siddhartha was called the Buddha, the Awakened One.

Total Eclipse of the Sun – Monday, August 21, 2017, Eastern U.S.A., Daylight Savings Time, 1:27 pm; Western U.S.A., 11:27 am.  Five Realms of Human Destiny at this moment, from Dane Rudhyar’s Astrological Mandala:
Intent – “A Mermaid Emerges from the Ocean Waves Ready for Rebirth in Human Form.“  yearning for intuition to take form in the consciousness.
Continuing (“zealous progress”) with Intent – “A Drowning Man is Being Rescued.“  ultimate expression of humanitarianism.
Recognizing Intent – “Receiving Two Awards for Bravery in Battle.“
Participating with Intent – “A Triangle with Wings.“  new dimension of mindfulness is introduced, not new at all – the ultimate dimension – “however infinite the Buddha-truth is, i vow to attain it.”
Constructing Intent – “Head of a Robust Youth Changes into that of a Mature Thinker.“

Incidentally, August 21 this year is the 72 anniversary of commission as 2nd Lt. in Army of the United States, Ft. Benning, Georgia.

Dynamics of the Cosmic
(Spanish translation below)


  The cosmic nature of matter is intrinsically dynamic, not static, nor passive, nor inert. It cannot be separated from its activity, movement, interactions and transformations which are determined by molecular, atomic, and nuclear configurations—revealing its cause to be.
  When we observe we never see any substance, but a continuing dance of energy—dynamic patterns changing into one another.
  A Hindu belief: Shiva Naturaj, god of dance, sustains the universe. “Shiva’s dance is the universe, the ceaseless flow of energy going through a multiplicity of patterns dissolving into one another.”

  La naturaleza de la materia cósmica es intrínsecamente dinámico, no estático, ni pasiva, ni inerte. No puede separarse de su actividad, movimiento, las interacciones y las transformaciones que están determinadas por las configuraciones moleculares, atómicas y nucleares— revelando su causa para ser.
  When we observe we never see any substance, but a continuing dance of energy—dynamic patterns changing into one another.
  Cuando observamos nunca vemos cualquier sustancia, pero la continuidad de la danza de la energía— patrones dinámicos cambiando a otro.
  A Hindu belief: Shiva Naturaj, god of dance, sustains the universe. “Shiva’s dance is the universe, the ceaseless flow of energy going through a multiplicity of patterns dissolving into one another.”
  Una creencia Hindú: Naturaj Shiva, Dios de la danza, sostiene el universo. "La danza de Shiva es el universo, el incesante flujo de energía a través de una multiplicidad de patrones disolviéndose en otro.
