What is Your Knowing?

At the center of each living thing dwells the fire of knowledge.  It is within this fire or Center that we know the truth of our lives.  Our “knowing” is what we literally become.

Wanting to do something with our life is not the same as “knowing”.  To desire to become ......... has an origin.  If this desire comes from within the Center of our being then it is our “knowing”.  All other desires originate in other areas of our self.

Every single person that has lived or currently walks this earth has a “knowing”.  If we are in “Right Relationship” with our Center, we will have an inner knowledge of our “knowing”.  Whether we are conscious of it does not change the results.

The innate ability for some people to know what they will become when they grow up mystifies most people.  For most of those living this so called miraculous life they cannot explain what just happened.  They will speak of intuition, gut feelings etc.  However, most truly do not know from where it comes.

“Knowing” defines our life.  Those that “know”, become that which they know.  Every one of us “knows” at least in part.  It is evident in our thoughts, words we speak and our actions.  Most of the time our “knowing” becomes confused with our experiences.

Experiences of a traumatic nature have a tendency to redirect our line of communication.  The direction tends to be away from the Center and moves more towards the surface entities such as the mind, feelings, emotions etc.  These other entities of our person, left to their own accord are deceiving.

To “know” is to be.  It is within this “knowing” that we are in Right Relationship with our inner being.  To “know” is to be driven by our true Self, that spark of Gohantone.  It is our Sacred Self, the perfect Soul that journeys through numerous life times.

There is a fire burning that is pure of essence, a refiner of our thoughts.  At its very center is all truth.  Every aspect of our person can be in unison with the will for our lives.  This force of will is our pure Self.  It is within the Center that we discover “who we are”.

We are more than the sum of our confused thoughts, words and actions.  These derive from the false self, the impostor whose sole purpose is to divert us from our destiny.  However, its force cannot withstand that of our true Self.  We just must listen.  By truly going within we remove the mask of our lesser self and there before us we plainly see our true Self and that of our “knowing”.

The Circle Within (Khotani List #16)

Traditionally we look at life as a continuous circle.  Actually, we see circles within circles.  The drum, ceremonial circles as well as any other circle are representative of our life on earth.  Elohi, the earth mother’s symbol is a circle, while that of the universe is a square.  Yet, most people never see beyond that of the gross physical or physical/physical.
  
The circle is the symbol of our being.  We are children of the earth and therefore are created in circular fashion.  For instance, we have an outer circle, middle circle and inner circle.  Each of these circles has a physical aspect, mental aspect and vital aspect.  The deeper you go within yourself the more that is revealed along the lines of the circle/s.
  
Many of our elders used to refer to the five streams as having a circular action.  These five streams or elders are the beginnings of the sense energies.  They are fed from the inner most circle of our being.  This inner most circle of our being is sometimes referred to as the center, it is perfect and without flaw.  Here, within the center, is the original circle.  It is from this center that the other circles – inner, middle and outer find life.  The center is a microcosm of the Grand Center and in actuality is one and the same with it.
  
It is from this place of absoluteness that we discover our True Self or how to be a True Human Being.  Only within the center can we find truth, everything else is ‘Shadow land’, mere distortions of reality.  Through the understanding of the circle we see that all life is one.
  
Elders would take a rope and stretch it out so that you would see it as linear with distinct left, middle and right aspects.  The left represented the past the middle represented the present and the right represented the future.  However, when they connected the left with the right a circle was formed, joining the past with the future and becoming the present within the great circle of life.  Furthermore, it taught us that all things are one in the present.  It is only when we see life as linear that we live within the illusion of reality.
  
The original sacred White Fire is the Grand Center.  All fire originates from the fiery center.  ‘The Way’ is the center.  However, illusion tells us that man is separate from his fellow man, animal, plant and mineral.  This distorted view is the circle cut in two.  The rope has now become linear, showing all things as separate and distinct beings.  Furthermore, our own self becomes a distortion of ‘the circle’, taking the shape of a flat line, this is considered a disconnection.  It is no wonder that most people feel disconnected, lost, confused, angry, delusional, unhappy, unsatisfied and needing some kind of fix.
  
Within the center or Grand Center life is not as we know it on the other circles.  The goal of all traditional cultures is and was to get you to discover the center.  Once you discovered the center, greater truth would transform your life.  This is a God-Truth that cannot be found any place else.  It is the place where the Immortals or Gods reside and is ultimately our abode.
  
The circle is you, whether it is recognized or not.  It is not only the place of your True Self, but is the True Self.  There is no Truth ceremony that does not know and furthermore have the Great Circle as its center.  There is a reason for the fire of ceremony.  However, it is rarely understood beyond the outer or middle circle.  The rare individual that knows the circle from the inner or center circle is the Illumined One of Light.  It is this person that walks the road of Enlightened Being.  This is ‘The Way’.
  
‘The Way’ is also referred to as ‘The Way of The Circle’ or “The Circular Way’.  The Vortex is ‘The Way’; its movement is that of the Grand Center.  All life is ‘The Way’; people just do not know it.  The center or Grand Center is the rhythm of ‘The Way’, the more that one becomes observant to the rhythms of ‘The Way’, the more Truth is revealed.  Through the teachings of the elders we have a more direct line to ‘The Way of The Center’.
  
Every aspect of life is Truth and illusion, both finding their source in the circle.  The outer circle acts as a point of communication between the illusion and Truth.  Everything is ‘The Way’.  Even illusion cannot exist without ‘The Way’.

Every Move You Make (Khotani List #19)

In Khotani teaching every move you make is sacred.  Every action is an expression of the Divine.  All things have their existence in The Breath Master. 

           

All form is a materialization of the subtle which in turn is a non-physical materialization of the causal.  The causal is formed by the two faces of Creator, the positive and negative poles or Grandfather and Grandmother Spirit. 

           

Your movements in the physical are mere reflections of their subtle origins.  The gods of the subtle are the causal energies.  It is here in the causal realm that we first experience movement.  Causal, subtle and physical movements are energized or moved by the primal nature of the negative pole or Grandmother Spirit.  Movement then is of God. 

           

This is a threat to organized religion and government which are two sides of the same coin.  Khotani knowledge is opposite of controlling the masses.  It liberates our being, propelling us towards a Divine knowledge and nature, our True Self.  Man made religion and governments are anti-God seeking to imprison man.  Creator is living free.     

           

In ancient Khotan the masters were the rulers of their world, every movement being an expression of their True Self or false self.  However true or false the movement originates with Creator.  Therefore, every move you make is a Divine expression and we are gods.  WE ARE GODS.  The sooner man understands the better the world will be.

           

Every move you make is a force in action.  All movement is felt as either a positive or negative energy in the universe.  It affects all things, making us micro-creators.  You are a power force that transmits energy every second of every day.  You not only send out but attract unto yourself those same energies.

           

In Khotani teaching we see these energies as necessary life forces.  Through Grandfather and Grandmother Spirit we knowingly participate in creating our own world.  We see everything as life and therefore on a journey of the Soul.  You think it, speak it and walk in it. 

           

In the Song of Amergin he voices his journey of past, present and future as I am.  The I AM is all that we are.  Your movement begins with your understanding. 

         

Song of Amergin

I am the wind on the sea
I am the stormy wave
I am the sound of the ocean
I am the bull with seven horns
I am the hawk on the cliff face
I am the sun's tear
I am the beautiful flower
I am the boar on the rampage
I am the salmon in the pool
I am the lake on the plain
I am the defiant word
I am the spear charging into battle
I am the god who put fire in your head
Who made the trails through stone mountains
Who knows the age of the moon
Who knows where the setting sun rests
Who took the cattle from the house of the warcrow
Who pleases the warcrow's cattle
What bull, what god created the mountain skyline
The cutting word, the cold word.

Every thought, word and action is Divine movement.  This movement is the world that you create.  Every second is a world unto itself.  Therefore we hold that you create literal worlds every day of your life.  Through movement we create.

           

Both liberation and enslavement are Divine; one cannot exist without the other.  So-called good and evil are mere reflections of that which man cannot properly define.  Therefore, he must categorize one as being dark and the other as light.  In Khotani teaching we see and know that both good and evil manifest from the Creator.  Neither one can exist separate from God.

           

The actions that bless or curse are manifested throughout our numerous lives.  Every move you make brings happiness or sorrow, peace or chaos.  However, man has to blame someone other than him self.  The devil, satan, evil spirits and the sinful flesh are usually the fall guys.  Every move you make is you.

           

The AniKhotani knew that in order to master anything you must first master yourself.  One of the keys is in accepting all of your actions as your own.  Until misplaced blame is acknowledged and fully accepted you are living a delusional life.  Every move that I make is my own.  I am empowered when the understanding of this sinks deep into my being.

           

Every move you make is an action with a corresponding energy.  This energy moves throughout the universe, affecting all things on the Great Web.  Your movement is within the Web that you are walking upon.  Every action is a vibration that is felt by all things on the Web including your self.  

           

Man has a tendency to see flaws in all things.  He seeks to distinguish that which is perfect from that which is imperfect.  Yet, his very definition defies the Law of Nature which is God’s Law.  Imperfection is a mere distortion of man’s limited view.  Your imperfections are Nature’s signature and a voice that reveals your journey.

           

Every move you make speaks volumes to those who know The Way.  Actions are reflections of the self and where it is currently at.  No judgment, just truth as to your current evolution.

           

God is The I AM; we are the I am.  I am that which God is.  Creator is my movement even in its so-called imperfection.  My movement is perfection in action.  Even wrong actions knowingly committed do not result in eternal damnation.  You will suffer from those self made wrong actions; however, you will also overcome them.

           

Those of The Great Heart will do the un-ordinary.  Every action will be powered by energy of the positive kind.  The Great Hearts are present within all Four Legs of the Panther.  These Illumined ones show us a higher way and we have a choice to follow those higher roads or suffer walking the low roads of our own doing.

The Paradigm within Ego (Khotani List #15)

Traditionally all that we see are layers of ego.  Every manifested thing becomes distinct because of ancient ego.  There appears nothing that is not ego.  It is the point of materialization into a separate and distinct entity; tree, stone, human being and all the subcategories like Bob, Mary, Susan and Bill.

          

It is within ego that all paradigms exist.  The falsehoods of belief live within the confines of ego.  Fear, joy, white, black, red, Asian, African, European, Bristlecone Pine, I am me and you are you, etc.  All idea of separateness from the minute to the grand display lives within ego.  Man and his illusory existence are sustained by the ego.  Every false world that we develop and those that become our belief system exist not, outside of ego.  They are false paradigms that we all live and dwell in and are aspects of ego that we must overcome. 

           

Good and evil exist within the matrix of ego.  The concentric rings of ego have layers of paradigms.  Every religion that has ever existed is a paradigm within the concentric rings of ego.  Ego is not good or bad, rather a mechanism that is a natural cause for our separation to occur.  It is one of the Great Twenty-Four Elders or Principals.  Yet, it has no influence over the Soul or Spiritual body.

           

Your truth today is not what it once was.  Our truths change like the leaves of a tree.  There is no wrong in this.  Actually it is the road to enlightenment.  Only the ‘Hunter’ (seeker) changes his/her perspective.  The journey reveals deeper aspects of truth.  This does not happen in one life time, but over numerous journeys, our understanding becoming more refined.  Once we have reached a certain level of spiritual proficiency, we begin to see through the false paradigms.  This only happens when we see and understand the truth of ego.

           

Man lives within numerous prisons.  His/her so-called fears and strengths are mere reflections that reveal his/her progress in their journey.  Light, darkness, victory and failure are all aspects of ego.  Today’s paradigm is tomorrow’s discarded failed attempt at truth.  They are one and the same, for they both live, although falsely within the present state of the moment.  It is within the present state that we participate in our past, present and future conditions.  Everything exists within the now.

           

Life is for living and it is within the living that we succeed, fail, do honor and dishonor, overcome and succumb.  It is this very living that liberates us.  Nothing that we do condemns us to an eternal separation from the Four Faces of God (the Four Brothers).  However, these seeds of thought, word and action create our own joys and sufferings.  Yet, they are only temporal and part of the illusion that ego brings. 

           

We are the POWER OF GOD.  We are the PRESENCE OF GOD.  The Sword Arm of God is the illusion of ego.  However, The Divine Power of God emanates from the Grand Center of Creator.  We are Light Swords that never fail to exist.  Yet, ego and its false paradigms fool us into believing that we are subjects to and therefore prisoners of the Matrix.

           

There are among us those that walk within this LIGHT.  They are not subject to the illusory powers of the Matrix, but are Light Bearers wielding a sword of immeasurable power direct from the Grand Center.  Does this sound like fiction?  For most it does, however, for those of this cadre they know who they are and the purpose that they serve.  Power is nothing in and of itself.  However, truth emanating from the Grand Center penetrates all layers of the Matrix, exploding the illusion of ego.

The Force Within

Long ago our elders taught ‘”The Way” as a means to understand life.  Internally was the place of truth.  Who we are led to why we are here, revealing the ancient road of Yashkah Yati or Acherra Wanaka (The White Fire).

At the center of our being is a source which is the foundation of our Self; it is the Force within.  This Force is the Central Fire of our Soul.  It is within this Center that all of life plays out.  The Force within is the silent precursor of creation.  All that is first begins in the Force at the center of our being.

Each of us has at our core this Force that has the power to literally create or overcome anything.  All truth is the Force within.  The Force is an energy emanating from the Center which is a microcosm of the Grand Center.

Within our person is a playing field; a place where life as we know it manifests as joy, victory and peace or pain, defeat and sorrow.  It matters not your place of birth, age, sex or profession.  The material to create always remains constant, never changing.

Over the years we have applied these teachings to children, adults, and the elderly, on the football field, in the military, the business world and on the farm.  It is applicable to any situation because it is the foundation of all life.

The entire cosmos exists because of the Grand Center.  Within your person dwells your true Self, knowledge of all things and the power to change anything is within you.  You limit yourself, for the Force within is limitless.

Many teachers do not want you knowing this that is if they themselves know it.  For as long as you are in “NEED” of them you are dependant upon them.  In truth they are not true teachers.  One who is a true teacher is led by a subtle energy that seeks to help bring light to everyone and everything.

We should always honor our elders and the elder teachings.  It is because of the elders that we have available to us “The Way.”  The pureness of the teachings sought to bring the light of truth to everyone.

Through “The Way” we can rediscover the Force within.  Through “The Way” we find that which reveals who we are and why we are here.  Within the Center we have the tools to reshape our current lives, literally changing the direction that we are going, through The Force Within.

The Essence of All (Khotani List #14)

The Essence of All is The Ancient Soul.  Each of us is a spark emanating from the Grand Center of this Ancient One.  Our being is always one with that which is beyond the law of cause and affect.  The universal law speaks of our being one with The One.  Yet, man seeks a base separation which limits his physical being to a surface existence.
  
“I am all that ever was or ever will be.”  Everything that the eye is capable of seeing is you.  We are all in a transmigration that is without limitation.  The breath of an elk in the Rockies is my breath.  Every subtle essence traces its source to the Grand Center, our separation being the illusion of the false self.
  
Religion, like all man made institutions, false paradigms etc. exist for the sole purpose of assisting us in our training.  These opposing forces are here for us to overcome.  It is through this spiritual combat that we attain our understanding of immortality.  The Immortals are those that have attained the mastery of the True Self, realizing they are sparks of The Ancient Soul.
  
Limitation is merely the illusion that you are the outer sheaths.  Each of us will eventually transcend that which today is our reality.  The false reality blurs our vision, creating an environment where most are incapable of seeing the Sacred Center.  “The wind blows, but man fails to see the origin of its being.  With effortless ease he IMAGINES that of his undoing, all the while believing in his spiritual quest.”
  
Layer upon layer we build the false walls of a world that is ever changing.  We create that which originates within the lower minds never realizing that these walls are prisons that limit us to the rules of the enemy of truth.  We seek to combat that which we have unknowingly participated in creating.  Our war is one that is waged upon our own being.
  
“I am the sum of the many parts of my being.”  However true this statement might be, man fails to realize all the entities involved.  The mind alone is made up of numerous levels.  Each part seeks to lead us down a false path.  However, they are all subject to the Soul who is a spark of Gohantone.  All forces within you are subject to the higher Self or Soul.
  
Each of us taps sources of energy daily.  These forces operate as points of light or darkness.  They are here for one reason, that of our advancement.  All light seeks to destroy completely that which is its opposite and darkness desires the same.  Each conflict leaves a mental impression that most often further dilutes our understanding of truth.  Man struggling to understand asks why God or the Universe would allow such things.  He remains in a state of darkened understanding.
  
The Essence is unaffected by it all.  It is the sacred spirit of our diluted imagery, the perfected Seven Horses that permeate the earth, seeking to enlighten our understanding of it all.  The eight legs upon the horse are the eight spokes of the Sun Wheel emanating from the Grand Center (Nine Points) as well as the subtle ages of the Four Legs of the Buffalo.  Yet, we seek to grasp one concept that man creates, never seeing beyond the murky waters of the darkening land.
  
The Essence of All manifests as the White Fire Warrior.  He is the one that transcends the darkened land and frees the minds of their illusions.  He is the one on the journey of becoming an Immortal.  He is, simply because he has begun to comprehend The Essence of All.  His limitations are only temporary because he is on the road of Yashkah Yati (White Fire).
  
The Essence of All cannot be defined as that which only contains Light, for it encompasses everything.  It is limitless, the boundless expanse of the Grand Center.  Grandmother and Grandfather Spirit are mere faces of the Ancient Soul whose residence is within the Grand Center.  Within the field of this expanse are two opposing armies, that of Light and that of Darkness.  Yet, we are composed of both, each working to perfect our being.
  
The symbol of a great warrior struggling to free his people is ancient.  Its origins are found within the Grand Center and The Ancient Soul.  This warrior in his True Self is a spark of The Essence of All, his/her understanding transcending the lower minds.  Upon that windswept plain The White Fire Warrior engages a force that the common man cannot comprehend let alone know.  It is within this Sacred battle where all truth is revealed.

The Great Center - Mor Lar (Khotani List #4)

Brown Tadd taught me much about the old way.  He was the embodiment of all that one believes and imagines to see in a traditional elder.  Nothing escaped his vision and yet he appeared at times to be oblivious.  He was simply centering.

From a Khotani perspective The Great Center (Mor Lar) is within everyone.  All things have THE GREAT CENTER within their being.  Notice I did not say a center, but The Great Center.

Vision quest conjures up all sorts of thoughts and ideas within and without the red community.  Most people think that it is some fluffy new-age concept of awakening.  On the contrary, it is or should I say was a much disciplined act, which took time and guidance to prepare for.

All of the peoples that once made up the larger body of ancient Khotan had a type of vision quest for the purposes of learning how to center.  The process had to be preceded by an understanding of what The Great Center was.
  
The Great Center is the Universe and more; it is all that exists in and outside the Great Space.  It moves but is unmoving.  For example, you move throughout life, both physically and mentally, the microcosm.  The Great Center, the macrocosm, is ever present and in a state of complete balance that cannot be moved.
  
Nature shows us that within her many movements there exists a Great Center, silently maintaining a state of balance.  The noise of nature often overrides the silence of its Center.  Yet, its very balance teaches us of the essence of its core.
  
Lehiyugese, Sean Dedma and Forn Sidhr mean nothing to most people.  Upon being told of their meaning they still cannot see the connection.  Each is a language expression unique to the people that once made up the larger body of the Khotani.  Their definitions are the same, ‘The Way of the Ancients or The Ancient Way’.
  
This ‘Way of the Ancients’ is all about understanding The Great Center and the many aspects of the process of creation, life, prime natures etc.  The process leads us to the core understanding of The Great Center and how it came into being.
  
The elders used to teach that every movement of mind and body is first seen in the Spirit that is ever still.  It is in the stillness of The Great Center that the old ones could know all truth, just as it is outside of The Great Center that we fall prey to the illusions of life.
  
Many non-traditional people have wondered at and even asked “what is the difference between Great Spirit, Grandfather Spirit and Grandmother Spirit?”  The answer provides part of the understanding of The Great Center.
  
Below is an excerpt from chapter three of the future book we are working on The 'Art of Being.'  This will begin to open your eyes to the process that gave us the Great Center.

The Art of Being

Lehiyugese presents us with levels of knowledge, preparing us to live life as True Human Beings.  These levels of knowledge are interlocking and lay a foundation for understanding Creator, the universe and Earth.  Proper use of this knowledge is the beginning of understanding.  Knowledge is often just stored information, but becomes wisdom when it is understood at the Soul level.         
    
There is a process known to AhniKhotani, explaining in great detail the many layers of the creation story and energies behind the processes; from the Original source down to the minutest levels of creation.  This source or foundation is where we commence our teachings of THE OLD WAY.
    
In the beginning is the purest state of being.  It has no beginning or end, it just is.  From this place of complete stillness, where no mind exists, resides the Grandfather of ALL.  It is not a place in the earthly sense of the word, but rather a state of being.  Grandfather, the Original source, who’s thought vibrations are the beginnings of the entire cosmos.  He is outside of everything created, yet is the reason for its existence.  We are all a part of the Grandfather, just as sparks are of the fire.  We cannot be separated from Grandfather no more than a spark can exist without fire.  However, Grandfather is pure consciousness and seeks Grandmother to manifest the physical.
  
Grandmother is the substance of the universe, the first or Original form, the beginning of matter.  She is not the substance, but the pure potential of all objects present or that can be imagined.  As the first cause of form, life would not exist without Grandmother.  She is primal matter in the purest since of the word.  She consists of the three qualities of harmony, action and resistance.  These three qualities balance and uphold everything in the universe.
  
Grandfather and Grandmother transcend the layers or processes of creation.  The idea of Spiritual Mind and Manifestation is passed down to each generation.  This teaching tells us that man (Grandfather Spirit) gives spirit to the infant while woman (Grandmother Spirit) gives substance.  Yet, boy or girl, man or woman each carries equally spirit and substance.  Grandfather and Grandmother are the Great Couple whose laws are written and contained within Intelligence.  
  
All processes, principals and laws that govern the universe are contained in this Great Intelligence known to AhniKhotani as The Great Mind.  It is the Great or Divine Mind; pure, without individuality and presiding in a state of natural governance.  It is through this Great Mind that space, time, the Sacred Word and the beginnings of differentiation occur.  These are the seed forms, waiting to burst forth and manifest themselves.  Within each individual the Great Mind becomes the power of intelligence, giving us the ability to discern right from wrong, truth from falsehood, and the eternal from the transient.
  
The seeds of differentiation existing in the Great Mind begin their manifestation at the next level known as Ego (Ignore the western definition).  Through Ego, division occurs in nature, a stage in evolution.  This division of individual realities is not the true essence of the living thing (animal, human, plant etc.) but the point of focus of the Ego that Grandmother and the Great Mind use to manifest.  Through this point of focus the qualities of nature are able to diversify, manifesting the five sense organs, the organs of action and the five elements.

End of Excerpt

The great Center exists because of Grandfather and Grandmother Spirit and the Great Mind.  It is through the Great Mind that The Great Center finds its form.  The Great Mind is also the source of our own intelligences that are mere microcosms.
  
However, the Great Center is really outside of the Great Mind.  It is a type of beginning in and of itself.  The journey to Grandfather and Grandmother Spirit leads us to the Great Center.
  
In the stillness of the Great Center reside Grandfather and Grandmother Spirit.  Even though they are outside of its influence, they are the cause of its beginning; they have created the sacred place. It is permeated by their essence.
  
The Great Center contains all words, expressions, chants, and songs etc. that have ever been expressed.  It is the origin of An Tri, An Focal and Do focal.
  
Through Lehiyugese, The Great Center is understood.  Outside of ‘The Ancient Way’ (the many expressions of truth) people are led to follow false ways.  Lehiyugese, Sean Dedma and Forn Sidhr were ancient, powerful expressions of The Creators Way.
  
Our Lehiyugese has nearly vanished and escapes the mind that is incapable of understanding.  It was the ‘Way of the Ancients’ when The Way was truly desired.  Today, it is rarely expressed, for seldom are people wise to the Little Being that is the True Self.
