ULTRAMagic Alternate Lore #1: The Basics of Magic

Previous | First | Next

Master Post

In the world of ULTRAMagic Alternate, magic is a part of everyday life, albeit amongst those capable of using it. Many mages, casters, and occultists have their own take on magic and it comes in all shapes and sizes. This post will go over the basics of what types of magic there are.

Magic has existed for a long time, as long as intelligence has existed. Mind you ancient humans were not sure what they were doing, but the point still stands. A lot of higher and metaphysical entities are responsible for humanity's education surrounding magic, for better or for worse. 

Magic has not had easy time due to willingly ignorant humans rejecting the Arcane and the Occult. Magic was forced underground due to religion and ideology around the start of the medieval era, but this was a blessing in disguise. This allowed magic to flourish and grow to previously unheard-of heights. This would lead to a reemergence in the 21st century. 

Who, What, Why, and How (The basics)

Magic as a whole:

Who: Any open minded individual in touch with and accepting of their soul (their life force).

What: Magic is the achievement of goals and desires through the manipulation of reality itself.

Why: Usually casters have a goal, a desire, or belief that serves as their motivation.

How: Magic is performed through the six techniques, usually done by using the soul as a medium for communion with entities and forces above and beyond human comprehension.

Limits:

Rejecting the other-side, learning, and open-mindedness prevents one from learning magic.

Your imagination.

Becoming Zealous or overly ideological can cloud your mind, preventing you from practicing magic.

Having a physically damaged brain can severely hinder learning capabilities. Examples: Stroke, severe head trauma, birth defect

The 6 types of Magic

Necromancy

Alchemy

Aura

Void

Soul

Weave

Aberrant 

In regards to the origin of magic:

If we were to split hairs over this, Aberrant would be the first type of magic to ever exist. Aberrant denotes any magic that does not traditionally fit into the six official categories. Any of the first magic ever casted could be considered Aberrant magic. 

Officially, most agree that the first two forms of magic were Alchemy and Necromancy. Which came first is up for heavy debate. Alchemy is the refinement of Primary Materia while Necromancy is the communion with spirits. Alchemy laid the groundwork for magic as a whole, but a lot of ancient humans received elucidation from spirits of all kinds.

Aura and Void popped up naturally, but drew from Alchemy and Necromancy respectively. Aura was heavily favored by central and east Asia while Void always remained as an unknown anomaly. Soul and Weave were the most recent forms of magic to pop up. They drew from Alchemy and Necromancy respectively, just like Aura and Void.

Terminology:

There are a lot of names for magic casters. These can be names such as Sage, Druid, Pagan, Witch, Warlock, Wizard, Wicca, Witch Doctor, Guru, Shaman, Sorcerer, Magus, Saint, etc. 

The most common names seem to be Mage and Magician. 

When speaking of Magicians, it is important not to confuse them with prestidigitators. These are NOT magicians in the slightest… barring the fact some have actually learned magic and adopted it into their performances…

The Magic

Necromancy:

Who: anyone who has studied and practiced Occult philosophy and tradition.

What: This is communion with spirits and higher entities, asking them to assist you in order to achieve a desired outcome.

Why: some choose to ask for help rather than going through the trouble of learning other types of magic and some entities just so happen to be charitable. In ancient times, the why was to carry out Adonai's will.

How: one must perform a ritual in which they say a prayer and/or make an offering, to prove that they are worthy of assistance. The magician must also be humble and dedicated to Adonai.

Limits:

You have to get the ritual right if you don't have a bond with the entity.

The entity summoned has a will of its own and must be respected. It won't appear if it doesn't feel like showing up.

An entity has its own skills and tactics which must be taken into consideration.

Offending an entity could lead to it telling its kin of your misdeeds…

Goal: To dedicate oneself to and perform the will of Adonai, to educate and guide those who deserve it.

Deity: Adonai/God

Founder: King Solomon

Ideal casters:

Occult scholars and Occultists 

Intellectuals and philosophers

Notable users:

ULTRAMagic Shadow

ULTRAMagic Hunter

ULTRAMagic Desperado

Some things to note:

King Solomon was not the first to perform Necromancy, but he was one of the most noteworthy. While not a perfect individual, he did help lay the groundwork for modern Necromancy.

Typically Devil's are summoned by Necromancers as they are easy to work with. Devil's are proto demons who are widely believed to be the first residents of Hell 

Commonly Devil's, Demons, and Angels are invoked in rituals. Other entities such as Djinn, Fae, Fairies, Specters, and Eldritch entities can also be invoked.

Alchemy:

Who: Anyone who is willing to learn and understand how matter and the universe works.

What: Alchemy is the refinement of Prima Materia (Base/First Matter) to achieve a desired outcome.

Why: For those that are willing to learn and have the know-how, they are capable of manipulating reality through their own means. Understanding reality allows one to achieve enlightenment and wholeness.

How: By understanding "As above So below," one can take Prima Materia and turn that into something they desire, such as Gold or a Philosopher's Stone (for the dedicated few).

Limits

Knowledge, discipline, and a sound mind is mandatory for this form of magic.

Additional mediums and material may be required for more complex transmutations.

Much like Chemistry, an experiment can backfire and/or yield dangerous results and byproducts.

Rituals and formulas must be strictly followed and adhered to to achieve a desired outcome.

Goal: To either create Gold or a Philosopher's Stone, with the purpose of achieving enlightenment and wholeness.

Ideal casters:

Chemists, scientists, and occultists

Intellectuals and philosophers 

Deity: Ianoda/Mercurius 

Founder: Hermes Trismegistus

Notable users:

Ellen the Wayward

Weaver Craddock

Dragoslava Rayot

Some things to note:

Hermes Trismegistus is a lot older than he seems, going all the way back to the days of Atlantis (predating ancient Egypt). His team pioneered Alchemy and even achieved immortality. He would go on to wander the Earth, spreading his knowledge throughout the eons. He would adopt the persona of Nicolas Flamel during the era of Latin Alchemy.

Many aspiring Alchemists will have a dream in which Mercurius will show them what Prima Materia is.

All Alchemists learn the process to make a Philosopher's Stone. Usually they try the three step process, some use the 4 step process, and most use the 7 step process. Most end up just making Alchemical Gold while a select few create a Philosopher's Stone.

In line with the previous point, Alchemical Gold is worthless outside of magic and occultism. Alchemists who create Gold are referred to as Yellow Alchemists while the ones who create a stone are referred to as Red Alchemists. Yellow Alchemists are way more common than Red Alchemists.

Aura:

Who: Anyone who is balanced in mind, body, and soul. One must also be open-minded and at peace.

What: Aura is a manifestation of one's Soul and who they are.

Why: The Soul can affect its surroundings like how a human can dig a hole, move a rock, plant a tree, or build a house. The Soul comes from the same Prima Materia as the universe.

How: one can tap into the essence of their Soul by focusing on it, which allows your true nature to manifest usually in the form of an ability.

Limits:

Allowing too much Aura to manifest can damage the Body and Soul, leading to death.

Imbalance in mind, body, or Soul can prevent one from being able to focus. It can also lead to erratic results.

Aura is very difficult to learn and master.

Goal: To achieve inner peace and balance so one's Soul is not shackled to the mortal coil, achieving enlightenment.

Ideal casters:

Those seeking balance, discipline, inner peace, or knowledge

Those capable of focusing and refining their expertise

Deity: Void

Founder: (Unclear)

Notable users:

ULTRAMagic Devil

[ERROR]

Some things to note:

Aura is very popular in central and east Asia. It also has names such as Chi and Prana.

The founder is unclear, but many have attributed founder status to Buddha as the doctrines of Aura are very similar to his teachings 

Aura draws a lot from Alchemy in regards to "As above So below." It recognizes that we are all one with the universe and that one can harness that to enlighten themselves. Many of Aura's doctrines can draw parallels to Alchemical doctrines.

Void in this context refers to the female manifestation of the void. Void came together with Veritas (Truth), the male manifestation, to create reality (union of opposites). She would go on to whisper in the ears of those who desired balance and enlightenment.

Void:

Who: it's unclear as there doesn't seem to be any defined rhyme or reason to who can use it.

What: Void channels the void itself to bring events that could exist into reality

Why: Unclear. Veritas and the Void are bizarre entities with many agents with their own goals.

How: Potential void casters are approached by void entities who offer a deal with them. Others can be naturally in tune with the void.

Limits:

Your spells are esoteric and can be hard to use

You're at the whim of the entity who signed a deal with you, if you went down this route

Void spells can be mentally taxing, especially if they bring forth incomprehensible things

The void in unpredictable and you're never guaranteed to get the results you want

Goal: [ERROR]

Ideal casters:

No one…

Deity: Veritas

Founder: ???

Notable users:

ULTRAMagic Disciple 

Some things to note:

Veritas is the father (truth) who came together with the mother (void) to form reality, or at least that's how the story goes. Why he is throwing his hat into the ring is unclear. Many believe he is pushing things into a direction only he knows

Void users are insanely rare to the point where Void is barely recognized as a form of magic on Earth. More often than not people say Aberrant magic is the sixth type of magic rather than Void

Whereas Aura draws from Alchemy, Void seems to draw from Necromancy.

Soul:

Who: Anyone who is perceptive and open to the other-side and knowledgeable with the arcane and Occult.

What: Soul uses the Soul itself as a medium to achieve a desired outcome, making use of the Prima Materia of the Soul.

Why: The Soul is a higher dimensional life form, capable of interacting with reality itself. It possesses an inherent, instinctual knowledge not known to everyday people.

How: The energy and wisdom of the soul is used to manipulate the forces of gravity to push and pull particles into the right position and/or situation.

Limits: 

The caster only has so much energy before they need to recharge, much like when someone performs physical activities. Usually this is solved by resting and being properly fed. Think of the body as a dynamo for the soul.

Due to most Souls being imperfect, interacting with reality is limited compared to higher dimensionals.

A degree of knowledge is required to cast magic. You need to know what you want, why you want it, and how it will benefit you. You also need to be aware of what you're casting (example: don't create fire in a cave, don't create a bomb that'll go off immediately, etc).

Soul is nowhere near as powerful as its counterpart, Aura. It also lacks the refinement of Alchemy.

Goal:

Ideal casters

Anyone whose astral senses are awake

Anyone capable of comprehending different dimensions 

Occultists and philosophers 

Deity: None

Founder: N/A

Some things to note:

Soul magic is widely regarded as an inferior form of Alchemy, invented by new age "wizards" and "witches" in an attempt to make money off of magic by being able to perform flashy magic without the refinement, discipline, or practice of Alchemy.

Despite its dubious origins, some mage's have worked with this form of magic to see what it can do. Soul magic does have its place, it just needs to be refined and practiced. Under the right mages it can do truly fantastic work.

Pop culture fantasy magic draws a lot from this form of magic, to the chagrin of actual mage's everywhere. It does not help that multiple books, movies, animations, video games, and tabletop games have gone with this perception of magic.

Despite the requirements for magic, Soul has the lowest barrier to entry and many are tricked into performing magic in service to charlatans and nerdowells. 

Weave:

Who: Anyone who is open minded and welcomes the Weave into their life.

What: The Weave is a collective that acts as a medium for spell casting and allows anyone to use magic

Why: at some point in a time incomprehensible, a seemingly perfect entity came into existence with the goal of allowing as many as possible to cast magic.

How: Once you know the spells, the bonds you share with friends and family strengthens your spell casting ability

Limits:

Your casting ability is tied to your bonds and mental state

Despite being granted a medium, you still need to know what you're doing when casting

You can still run out of energy casting Weave magic

You can lose control if you don't have discipline with your magic or bonds

Goal: To create a place for mage's who have trouble performing magic, allowing them to do feats they have only dreamed of.

Ideal casters:

Anyone…

Deity: Rebis

Founder: Baphomet 

Notable users:

Elaine Gabriella O'Nessie

Captain Roger

Some things to note:

After seeing the mess that was Soul magic, the demon Baphomet figured it was time to do something about it… but what? They were then given a vision by an entity calling themselves Rebis. Rebis showed Baphomet the Weave and the benefits it could provide to humanity.

Rebis and Baphomet are both hermaphroditic, perfect enough entities that understand Prima Materia and the 5th element. This knowledge allowed them to create a type of magic that could be used by anyone.

Baphomet has to routinely defend themselves from those who accuse them of being evil. Weave magic also gets labeled as "Satanic" on a frequent basis. Sometimes they wonder why they even bother, but seeing people excitedly performing magic (when they normally could not have) strengthens their resolve.

Aberrant:

Who: Those who have unique abilities that don't traditionally fit into the other 6 categories.

What: Aberrant is the unofficial 7th category of magic, used to describe those with unique abilities that don't traditionally fit into the other 6 categories.

Why: Given the unpredictability of life and reality, some have found a way to create unique forms of magic.

How: depends on the ability and how it was gained.

Limits:

Limitations are solely dependent on the ability in question

Goal: N/A

Ideal users:

Unknown 

Deity: N/A

Founder: Unknown

Notable users:

Valentina Pari

ULTRAMagic Blood-Wraith

Vlastimir

Some things to note:

One does not go out of their way to create an Aberrant ability. They are either given or come about naturally.

Aberrant breaks the rules for only knowing two types of magic. If someone already has an aptitude and a specialty that is not Aberrant, they can develop such an ability.

A third dimensional with an Aberrant ability as their aptitude is even rarer than people with Void as their aptitude. This also means that they can only have two magic types by default.

Magic for higher and metaphysical entities is usually always regarded as Aberrant magic.

Benefits of Hiring a DevOps Engineer for Your Cloud Needs

If you are planning on hiring a Devops engineer to help you with your IT needs, you may want to consider some of the benefits of working with one. These benefits include reducing high software and IT maintenance costs, ensuring that your IT infrastructure is well managed and configured, and minimizing complex scripting and coding issues.

Hiring a DevOps Engineer

Reduce high software and IT maintenance costs

Software and IT maintenance costs can add up quickly, and there are many businesses that are wondering how they can reduce these costs. Using a Devops Engineer can help you do this. They can help you keep up with changing requirements and ensure a smooth transition.

A DevOps engineer is a valuable resource in any organization. They can help you decrease the time it takes to deploy your software, and they can also help you resolve complex scripting and coding issues. However, it's important to find a Devops engineer who has the skills needed to help you succeed.

In addition to knowledge of Devops software development, you should also hire an engineer with experience with security incident handling, CI-CD tools, hardening, servers and containers, and at least one cloud. These skills can also help you bring new production environments with Terraform and Cloudformation.

Optimize your business's IT infrastructure's security

For most small and midsize businesses, optimizing their IT infrastructure is an afterthought. However, with the rise of the SaaS (Software as a Service) revolution, it is becoming more and more imperative for companies to optimize their IT assets. Luckily, there are a number of small and medium sized companies that are ready to take on the task of securing and optimizing their IT infrastructure, with the help of the right talent. One of these is Lebara, a Europe-based MVNO that employs 62 nationalities spread across six countries. The company recently expanded its cloud footprint to the equator, and they're looking for the next generation of DevOps engineer to join their growing team.

A Devops Engineer is a jack of all trades. The man is responsible for optimizing all facets of a cloud architecture from the top down. He is also responsible for identifying and solving complex system ad hoc issues. His expertise is complemented by a suite of cloud automation tools and technologies. With a little forethought, a Devops engineer can deliver enterprise level service levels with less headaches.

DevOps has transformed the software development game in the cloud. It is now easier than ever to implement cloud computing architectures on a large scale, while still retaining the benefits of dedicated and private infrastructure. In addition, the DevOps community is made up of a group of techies who are able to work with each other to solve problems at a rapid pace.

Ensure infrastructure management and configuration

Choosing a DevOps Engineer may prove to be a rewarding, yet daunting undertaking. Before you begin the hiring process, you need to know what to look for. For starters, you need to make sure the person is well versed in the technologies that matter most to your business. Among these are virtualization, networking, databases and storage. The DevOps aficionado also needs to be a skilled user of the cloud. Despite its myriad benefits, cloud computing is not for the faint of heart, and the DevOps savvy professional needs to be prepared for any eventuality.

Luckily, you can rely on DevOps wizards to help you out. Whether you are looking to hire the next big thing or you are already on board, the DevOps guru will ensure you get the best value for your IT investment.

Handle multiple IT projects simultaneously

A DevOps engineer is someone who can make your IT projects run smoother. These individuals are responsible for monitoring and maintaining your IT systems. They can help you reduce costs, implement security policies, and create scalable solutions.

The demand for these specialists is expected to increase worldwide. However, you will need to make sure that you hire DevOps engineer. Here are some tips for finding the best candidate for your company.

You'll want to find an experienced cloud engineer who has worked with various programming languages and environments. They should also have expertise with cloud platforms and security compliance.

DevOps engineers should have experience with at least one CI/CD tool. For example, Kubernetes and Docker are good choices.

You'll also want to have a basic understanding of Linux and other security practices. Also, you'll need to be able to communicate effectively.

Analysing Douma’s Blood Demon Art Based on Tibetan Buddhism

Frozen Cloud

Clouds are a very recurring element in tibetan buddhism with Karmapas. For those who missed my last post, the Karmapa is the bearer of the Black Crown(the hat Douma wears), hence he is sometimes known as the Black Crown Lama. 

I always found it curious how Douma’s Frozen Clouds appear behind from him, surrounding him, instead of being shot with his fans. I then realized they’re not just an attack, they’re also a defense so if they surround Douma like this they can work as a shield because they keep demon slayers far away from him. But now I think this could have a symbolic aspect to it because in quite a lot Karmapa paintings, the Karmapas are surrounded by clouds, those generally behind him.

You can see a bit of similarity between this Douma panel and these Karmapa illustrations. Notice how in these Karmapa illustrations above the clouds are behind the Karmapas surrounding them like Douma’s Frozen Clouds. If Douma still had his Black Clown hat in this panel, the comparison would be perfect. The cloud is a common symbol in Tibetan Buddhism representing the creative power of the mind and the ability to take any form.

“In Tibetan Buddhism the symbol of the cloud is of such far-reaching importance, that a glance upon Tibetan Thankas (scrolls) or temple-frescoes would suffice to convince the beholder. The figures of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas (enlightened beings), saints, gods and genii manifest themselves from cloud-formations which surround their haloes. The cloud represents the creative power of the mind, which can assume any imaginable form. The white cloud especially (or even a cloud shining in delicate rainbowcolours) is regarded as the ideal medium of creation for the enlightened or enraptured mind, which manifests itself on the plane of meditative vision as sambhogakāya, the mind-created 'body of delight'.”

“Even the earlier Sanskrit-Buddhism speaks of the 'Cloud of Truth' or the 'Cloud of the Universal Law' (dharma-megha), from which descends the rain of bliss and liberating knowledge upon a world burning with passions.”

“Thus the 'White Cloud' becomes the symbol of the Guru's wisdom and compassion, and therefore 'the Way of the White Clouds' hints at the same time at the way of spiritual unfoldment, the way of a pilgrimage that leads to the realisation of final completeness.” 

Based on all this, a cloud can be used to describe Douma’s nature. As Kanao pointed out, he’s able to change the form of his face to match any social situation just like a cloud can take any form. So in this case the “Cloud of Lies” because he prefers to spread lies rather than spread knowledge.

Unsui is a term specific to Zen Buddhism which literally translates as "cloud, water" comes from a Chinese poem which reads, "To drift like clouds and flow like water." Helen J. Baroni writes, "The term can be applied more broadly for any practitioner of Zen, since followers of Zen attempt to move freely through life, without the constraints and limitations of attachment, like free-floating clouds or flowing water."

Attachment: A deluded Mental factor or Perception that observes a person or object and regards it as a cause or source of Happiness, and wishes for it. A deluded mental factor that observes a contaminated object, regards it as a cause of happiness, and wishes for it.

“He was sometimes consulted by his believers, and seeing them crumble under the weight of their desires, be it for money, status or love, seemed to be too foolish for him, but he felt curious what the feeling was like. He had money, status, and an almost-immortal body, but he didn't feel anything special, so he switched partners every now and then to try to play the childish game of love.” 

Another comparison can be made between Douma and a cloud based on the term unsui. Accordind to the kny 2nd fanbook, Douma thought it was stupid of his followers to crumble over money, status or love. He even had money and status, but didn’t feel anything about it and never felt love until death as he said it himself when he told Shinobu he fell in love for the first time with her when he was dead. That’s also why he couldn’t regenerate his head like Akaza and Muzan, because he had no desires and attachments to his past life and current life like them. While he was alive he had no material attachments nor emotional attachments. 

He moved freely through life, without the constraints and limitations, like free-floating clouds. He thought Gods, Buddhas, Heaven and Hell, and divine punishment were just constrainsts and limitations invented by humans to keep evil people from drinking the “sweet nectar” and so that mentally weak people would be able to live with themselves.

White Blizzard Princesses

Of the 21 Taras, the two most popular are Green Tara and White Tara. Tara’s name in Tibetan is Dolma, and you can see then that White Tara’s Tibetan name, Dolkar, is a short form of Dolma Karpo, which means White Dolma. Tibetans pray to White Tara especially for health, healing and longevity/long life. She offers healing to our wounds, whether it is our bodies or our minds that have been hurt.  

 As White Tārā she expresses maternal compassion and offers healing to beings who are hurt or wounded, either mentally or psychically. White Tara embodies compassion, purity, grace, serenity and the love of a mother for her child. White Tara is often referred to as the "Mother of all the Buddhas". Tara is very close to sentient beings, like a mother to her children. 

Her pure compassion for our suffering which is thought to be greater even than a mothers love for her child is symbolized in images of White Tara by her white color. White Tara has 7 eyes — with an eye in her forehead, and one on each hand and foot — symbolizing her compassionate vigilance to see all the suffering of the world.

She is very quick to fulfill our wishes and to grant us happiness and a long life, as well as to help us develop wisdom. Tara is seen as the very embodiment of this wind—resulting in her ability to fulfill our wishes and prayers swiftly. It is said that living beings receive Tara’s blessings as swiftly as the wind moves because she is the manifestation of the wind element of all Buddhas.

“Within Tibetan Buddhism Tārā is regarded as a Buddha of compassion and action. She is the female aspect of Avalokitesvara and in some origin stories she comes from his tears that were shed in pity as he observed the vast suffering in the world.

Tārā originated not in Buddhism but in Hinduism, where she was seen as a Mother Goddess. Known as a manifestation of Kali, the queen of time, Tārā was seen as the unquenchable hunger that propels all life. Hindu oral tradition states that Tārā first appeared during the Hindu creation myth of the churning of the ocean. In this legend, Shiva has drunk the poison that was created from the churning of the ocean, thus saving the world from destruction, but has fallen unconscious under its powerful effect. Tārā appears and takes Shiva on her lap. She suckles him, the milk from her breasts counteracting the poison, and he recovers. This myth is reminiscent of the myth in which Shiva stops the rampaging Kali by becoming an infant. Seeing the child, Kali's maternal instinct comes to the forefront and she becomes quiet and nurses the infant Shiva. In both cases, Shiva assumes the position of an infant vis-à-vis the goddess.”

Tara was at one time a human princess who dedicated her life to love and protection of all. She is an example of the soul's aspiration to develop qualities of love, compassion, wisdom and joy. White Tara is sometimes called the Mother of all Buddhas and she represents the motherly aspect of compassion. Her white color signifies purity, wisdom and truth.

The White Tara was incarnated later as the chinese Princess Wencheng. I initially thought Douma’s White Blizzard Princesses’ head necklace with a pendant on the forehead was supposed to a reference to White Tara’s third eye on the forehead. But then I learned that it’s widely known that White Tara incarnated as Princess Wencheng and looking at her pictures, she’s always depicted wearing a head necklace or some sort of head jewelery.

Update: Another possible inspiration behind Douma's White Blizzard Princesses.

Mandarava was, along with Yeshe Tsogyal, one of the two principal consorts of great 8th century Indian Vajrayana teacher Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche), a founder-figure of Tibetan Buddhism, described as a 'second Most Important Female Buddha' by many practitioners. Mandarava is considered to be a female guru-deity in Tantric Buddhism or Vajrayana.

There are a number of conflicting stories about the birthplace of Mandarava. According to some legends, she was born a princess in Zahor, Bengal in eastern India, while other sources, and some contemporary lore place this in Sahor, in Oddiyana (the Swat valley) of northern Pakistan, or near the city of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, India.

According to legend, she renounced her royal birthright at an early age in order to practice the Dharma. Mandarava is known as being highly educated at a very young age, a rare accomplishment for a woman at that time. There is a distinction. She was the primary student of Guru Rinpoche’s Most Beloved Yeshe. Mandarava's devotion led her to bring at least 800 women, including her entire personal retinue, to the path of the Dharma, all before meeting her teacher, Padmasambhava.

Mandarava attained full enlightenment alongside Padmasambhava in the famed Maratika Cave in Nepal. She was a fully realized spiritual adept, a yogini, and a spiritual teacher. Chapter 16 of the Lotus Sutra mentions, "Mandarava blossoms rain down, scattering over the Buddha and the great assembly. This has been verified by numerous sources."

The iconography of Mandarava in her sambhogakaya form often depicts her with white skin with a tinge of red and wearing regal bodhisattva ornamentation. In this form, in her right hand she often holds the dadar (or arrow) a teaching tool and ritual implement which is a powerful polyvalent symbol of Dzogchen, disciplic succession, lineage and transmission. Sometimes she’s depicted with a third a eye on the forehead. I actually thought she was White Tara for a second, they look identical.

Too often the White Tara is paired with the Green Tara as a pair, so I was wondering, why does Douma summons “two White Taras”? Why not one White Tara and one Green Tara? The Green Tara also incarnated as a princess(nepali Princess Bhrikuti Devi). For a while I actually just dismissed it as “ice is white/transparent”.

Green Tara is shown seated with one leg on the ground, ready to come to our defense while White Tara is seated in the more meditative diamond lotus position, with both legs folded under her, and her feet facing skyward. Green Tara is seated on a half-open lotus while While Tara is seated on a full-blown lotus. Green Tara doesn’t have a third eye on the forehead.

I was really confused as to why Douma didn’t manifest one Green Tara, then I looked more into her and found my answer. She protects people from disturbing emotions like anxiety, stress and especially fear. Green Tara also embodies activity.

Now allow me to copy and paste a whole page of Without Conscience, a book by Dr. Robert Hare. You can skip this part if you want. This is the most recommended book if you want to learn in depth about psychopaths. Robert Hare is probably the main authority when it comes to psychopaths. Robert D. Hare is a Canadian forensic psychologist, known for his research in the field of criminal psychology. He developed the Hare Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-Revised), used by psychiatrists and psychologists around the world to assess cases of psychopathy. He advises the FBI's Child Abduction and Serial Murder Investigative Resources Center (CASMIRC). This man is huge deal.

“The apparent lack of normal affect and emotional depth led psychologists J. H. Johns and H. C. Quay to say that the psychopath "knows the words but not the music."14 For example, in a rambling book about hate, violence, and rationalizations for his behavior, Jack Abbott made this revealing comment: "There are emotions--a whole spectrum of them-that I know only through words, through reading and in my immature imagination. I can imagine I feel these emotions (know, therefore, what they are), but I do not. At age thirty-seven I am barely a precocious child. My passions are those of a boy."

Many clinicians have commented that the emotions of psychopaths are so shallow as to be little more than proto-emotions: primitive responses to immediate needs. (I'll discuss the most recent research findings on this topic in later chapters.) For example, one of our psychopathic subjects, a twenty-eight-yearold "enforcer" for a loan shark, had this to say about his job: "Say I have to heavy someone who won't pay up. First I make myself angry." When asked if this anger was different from the way he feels when someone insults him or tries to take advantage of him, he replied, "No. It's all the same. It's programmed, all worked out. I could get angry right now. It's easy to tum on and off." 

Another psychopath in our research said that he did not really understand what others meant by "fear." However, "When I rob a bank," he said, "I notice that the teller shakes or becomes tongue-tied. One barfed all over the money. She must have been pretty messed up inside, but I don't know why. If someone pointed a gun at me I guess I'd be afraid, but I wouldn't throw up." When asked to describe how he would feel in such a situation, his reply contained no reference to bodily sensations. He said things such as, "I'd give you the money"; "I'd think of ways to get the drop on you"; "I'd try and get my ass out of there." When asked how he would feel, not what he would think or do, he seemed perplexed. Asked if he ever felt his heart pound or his stomach chum, he replied, "Of course! I'm not a robot. I really get pumped up when I have sex or when I get into a fight." 

Laboratory experiments using biomedical recorders have shown that psychopaths lack the physiological responses normally associated with fear. 1 6 The significance of this finding is that, for most people, the fear produced by threats of pain or punishment is an unpleasant emotion and a powerful motivator of behavior. Fear keeps us from doing some things-"Do it and you'll be sorry" -but it also makes us do other things-"Do it or you'll be sorry." In each case, it is emotional awareness of the consequences that impels us to take a particular course of action. Not so with psychopaths; they merrily plunge on, perhaps knowing what might happen but not really caring.

For most of us, fear and apprehension are associated with a variety of unpleasant bodily sensations, such as sweating of the hands, a "pounding" heart, dry mouth, muscle tenseness or weakness, trembles, and "butterflies" in the stomach. Indeed, we often describe fear in terms of the bodily sensations that accompany them: "I was so terrified my heart leapt into my throat"; "I tried to speak but my mouth went dry"; and so forth.

These bodily sensations do not form part of what psychopaths experience as fear. For them, fear-like most other emotionsis incomplete, shallow, largely cognitive in nature, and without the physiological turmoil or "coloring" that most of us find distinctly unpleasant and wish to avoid or reduce.

Psychopaths have little aptitude for experiencing the emotional responses-fear and anxiety-that are the mainsprings of conscience. 

In effect, the elements needed for the development of psychopathy-including a profound inability to experience empathy and the complete range of emotions, including fear-are provided in part by nature and possibly by some unknown biological influences on the developing fetus and neonate. 

Clinicians often describe psychopaths as individuals whose powerful psychological defense mechanisms effectively squelch anxiety and fear. Laboratory research supports this view and suggests that there may be a biological basis to their ability to cope with stress. This may sound as if psychopaths are to be envied. However, the downside is that the boundary between fearless and foolhardy is fuzzy: Psychopaths are always getting into trouble, in large part because their behavior is not motivated by anxiety or guided by cues that warn of danger. Like individuals who wear dark sunglasses indoors, they look "cool" but they miss much of what goes on around them.

"His social status notwithstanding, he is truly one of the most dangerous sociopaths I have ever seen," said the Superior Court Judge after sentencing respected 37-year-old San Jose attorney Norman Russell Sjonborg for the brutal slaying of one of his clients from whom he had embezzled money. His third wife, Terry, who initially had provided him with an alibi for the crime, said that when she first met him, "He seemed like a nice guy, soft-spoken and exceedingly charming." But she also noted, "From the start Russell spoke about this emotional void, an inabil ity to feel things like everyone else; to know when to cry, when to feel joy." Terry also commented that he "led a kind of paint-by-numbers emotional life," and that "he read selfhelp psychology books to learn the appropriate emotional responses to everyday events."

Although psychopathy is not primarily the result of poor parenting or adverse childhood experiences, I think they play an important role in shaping what nature has provided. Social factors and parenting practices influence the way the disorder develops and is expressed in behavior. Thus, an individual with a mix of psychopathic personality traits who grows up in a stable family and has access to positive social and educational resources might become a con artist or white-collar criminal, or perhaps a somewhat shady entrepreneur, politician, or professional. Another individual, with much the same personality traits but from a deprived and disturbed background, might become a drifter, mercenary, or violent criminal.”

Ok, back to the main topic.

If Douma ever felt any emotion while he was alive at all, he definitely never felt fear. During the tense Upper Moon Meeting, everyone except him were dead quiet listening to Muzan’s complaints while he was interrupting him, offering himself to be punished and his eyeballs. Not even when his whole body was melting including his bones from Shinobu’s poison he was scared nor even when his head was cut and he was desintegrating.

As for activity, Douma doesn’t seem to take much action himself. During his fights with Shinobu, Kanao and Inosuke, he seems to be mostly playing around. He only take serious action when he starts melting from Shinobu’s poison. Even as a child he never took action himself, he always listened to his parents to act like a good cult leader, no matter how stupid it sounded to him, and he kept this act going even as a demon. And even though he rose through the ranks of the Twelve Upper Moons, he probably done that because Muzan told him to when he turned him into a demon. Also, the kny 2nd fanbook ironically informs he has money and status, but suggests that he has no ambition because he thought it was stupid of his followers to crumble over money and status.

The Green Tara’s left hand is in the gesture of grant­ing refuge from every danger (abhaya mudra). This is perhaps Tara’s most well-known function. She protects from all fears, miseries, calamities, and disasters, including disease and illness, old age, death, attacks by wild beasts, harm from fire, floods, earthquakes, criminals, corrupt officials, poison snakes, and magic spells. It is often for this protective function that Tara is widely worshipped and propitiated.

Pacifying illnesses, epidemics, diseases, she scatters all the demons and bestows blessings, protection for all beings. Praying to Green Tara will bless you with success, protect from evil, heal illness, and bless your children.

The practice of Green Tara is helpful to dispel the suffering and emotional turbulence of these times. Green Tara promised always to appear in the form of a female bodhisattva and goddess for the benefit of all beings and especially to protect them from the eight fears. These eight fears are further classified as internal and external depending on their source of origin and are as follows: Internal External fear of fire (anger) fear of imprisonment (avarice) fear of lions (pride) fear of floods (attachment) fear of elephants (ignorance) fear of demons (doubt) fear of snakes (envy) fear of robbers (wrong views)

The First Dalai Lama’s Teachings on Tara

The first Dalai Lama wrote that we can call on her to instantly save us from eight particular dangers, each of which represents a corresponding human mental problem:

lions — pride

wild elephants — delusion and ignorance

forest fires — hatred

snakes — jealousy

robbers — wrong views, including fanatical views

prisons — greed and miserliness

floods — desire and attachment

demons — doubts caused by delusion

Ordinary Tibetans pray to her when we are sick, when leaving for a long journey, or when we hope for success or wealth. His Holiness’ teaching shows us that this is not actually the true purpose of praying to or reciting mantras to Tara.

When we chant the Green Tara mantra, we are not simply asking for Tara’s blessings and help with our lives and our “real world” problems.

Actually, we are also asking to be liberated from the misery of the mental delusions and negative emotions that blind us to true freedom, and to achieve the same enlightened body, speech and mind that Tara represents, not only for our own benefit, but for the benefit of all sentient beings.

The Eight Taras to the sides of the main Tara image depict the eight types of fears or dangers that may potentially endanger or derail the spiritual path of a practitioner. The basis of these fears come from a particular Sutra called “The Sutra of Tara Who Protects from the Eight Fears” which, in Sanskrit, is known as the “Tara Sṭaghoratarani Sutra”.

The Eight Fears contain both an inner and outer meaning:

Tara who saves from water or drowning represents desirous attachment.

Tara who saves from thieves represents false views.

Tara who saves from hungry lions represents pride.

Tara who saves from venomous snakes or serpents represents jealousy.

Tara who saves from fire represents anger.

Tara who saves from spirits or flesh-eating demons represents doubt.

Tara who saves from captivity or imprisonment represents greed.

Tara who saves from elephants represents ignorance.

Through the practice of worshipping Tara, we are able to purify the karma of receiving harm from these eight fears and their associated inner delusions. Thus, Tara is able to liberate us from all fear.

Meaning of the Green Tara Mantra

A 1987 teaching by Lama Zopa Rinpoche really opens up to us the profound meaning and benefits of practicing Tara’s powerful mantra. 3

Lama Zopa walks us through the mantra in a long discussion on Tara, which we have excerpted and shortened below:

In short, om tare tuttare ture soha means “I prostrate to the Liberator, Mother of all the Victorious Ones.”

The Tara mantra is om tare tuttare ture soha. To explain the meaning of tare tuttare ture: tare means liberating from Samsara.

Tare shows that Mother Tara liberates living beings from Samsara(reincarnation/cycle of death and rebirth/karmic cycle), from true suffering, or problems. You can relate this to the particular sufferings of human beings: birth, old age, sickness and death; meeting undesirable objects and experiencing aversion; not finding desirable objects or finding them but gaining no satisfaction… All these are the problems of true suffering. If you rely upon Tara by taking refuge in her and doing Tara practices—such as the recitation of mantra or praises — with tare, Tara liberates you from all these true sufferings.

The second word, tuttare, liberates you from the eight fears. There are eight fears related to external dangers from fire, water, air, earth, and also from such things as thieves and dangerous animals. However, the main dangers come from ignorance, attachment, anger, pride, jealousy, miserliness, doubt and wrong views. These eight disturbing thoughts that you have in your mind are the main dangers… This second word, tuttare, which liberates you from the eight fears, frees you from the true cause of suffering: karma and the all-arising disturbing thoughts.

The third word, ture, liberates you from disease. Now, of the Four Noble Truths, ture shows the cessation of suffering, which is the ultimate Dharma. In terms of liberating from disease, the actual disease we have is ignorance not knowing the absolute nature of the I, and all the disturbing thoughts that arise from this ignorance… By liberating us from disease, ture actually liberates us from the true cause, disturbing thoughts, and also the true sufferings.

I think it’s very clear now why Douma doesn’t summon the Green Tara. Douma is a demon so he doesn’t need to worry about illness, he only needed to worry about Shinobu’s poison. Douma is immortal so he doesn’t need to worry about old age and death. Douma doesn’t believe in Heaven and Hell so he most likely doesn’t believe in Sansara(reincarnation). As the yny 2nd fanbook makes it clear, Douma doesn’t care about success and wealth. Green Tara is “Mother of The Victorious Ones”, Douma doesn’t seem to care about winning like Akaza, he even adviced him to eat lots of women because it would make him stronger. Also, Douma might’ve won many battles, but ultimately he lost the war. 

I’m pretty sure fires, lions, elephants, floods and snakes aren’t effective against demons, especially Douma. I feel really bad for the robber who tries to rob Douma. Douma is the flesh-eating demon so people around him need to be protected from him by Green Tara. 

The closest Douma showed of genuine emotion was his somewhat upset/displeased face when Kanao pointed out he doesn’t feel emotions like happiness, enjoyment, anger, sadness, pain, bitterness. He also seemed disappointed when his head was cut and he was dying, but he wasn’t afraid of dying nor annoyed that he lost. That makes me think that he wants to experience the complete range of emotions, like anger and fear, not just “positive emotions” so why would he want to be protected from something he wants to have? Or why would he need to be protected from something he doesn’t have?

Douma might be a glutton, but he isn’t a stingy or greedy person, on the contrary, he seems to pride himself in being a very generous person. Like I said way earlier, Douma had no material attachments nor emotional attachments while was alive. That’s why he wasn’t able to regenerate his head like Akaza who was determined to become stronger. He’s ignorant about the existence of Heaven and Hell, but he definitely doesn’t think he is and he doesn’t know it. Instead, he always thought his parents and his followers are the ignorant and stupid ones for believing in Heaven and Hell. 

Even as a child he’s never showed any doubts, he’s always been very assertive and firm in his views that Heaven and Hell is just a fairytale created by humans and eveyone who thinks differently is stupid and that he was saving his followers and making them happy by eating them until the the end. Douma never showed envy for anybody in any moment, he actually thought Akaza was jealous of him for “reaching success” earlier than him despide becoming a demon way after he did. But he seemed frustrated when Kanao pointed out that he couldn’t feel anything so he has to pretend to feel emotions so he won’t reveal his empty heart and that he was nothing but an empty shell so maybe deep down he might be jealous of people who feel real emotions. He wouldn’t admit it though.

Douma is infamous for his very wrong view that eating people will save them and will make them live forever happy inside him, when in reality he didn’t care about his followers and was just taking advantage of the emotionally vulnerable and killing innocent people and using them as food. His other wrong views include thinking that Heaven and Hell are fairytale created by humans and everyone who believes in it are stupid and that Shinobu was foolish and her attempts to take him down were useless. But despite all that, he certainly never once thought his view were wrong or that he was deluded or misguided until his death. In short, he absolutely no use for Green Tara. I think Douma summoning two White Taras instead of the standard one White Tara and one Green Tara serves to emphasize his emotionless nature.

Before the segment, The Opposite of "Not One Of Us" is "We Are All One”, I begin the program by sharing spiritual readings covering various topics from several sources: The Hidden Words of Baha'u'llah, a Saying of Jesus from, The Book of the Gnosis of the Invisible God, An Unrecognized Dialogues Gospel Embedded in the Bruce Codex, Placed at the Beginning of the First Book of IEOU: https://medium.com/sant-mat-meditation-and-spirituality/the-book-of-the-knowledge-gnosis-of-the-invisible-god-a2a4a16353cb

Also readings from: The Ghat Ramayan of Sant Tulsi Sahib, Sar Bachan Radhasoami Prose of Soamiji Maharaj, 1008 Kabir Vani (Saakhis of Guru Kabir), Baba Ram Singh on meditation practice, Saint Isaac of Nineveh, and mystic poetry of Sant Charandas.

The main segment is titled: The Opposite of "Not One Of Us" is "We Are All One”, an essay documenting how Sant Mat historically has never been limited to only "one" living master (Sant Satguru) at a time but there have always been multiple lineages of masters alive in the world contemporary with one another. In terms of Sant Mat history, there has never been a time during the last several centuries when there was “only one” Sant Satguru operating in the world. The reality is there have been multiple lineages of spiritual masters contemporary with one another since at least the time of Kabir and Guru Nanak in the 14th century. Both Guru Kabir and Guru Nanak were founding gurus who appointed successors. These are guru lineages now spanning many generations. Also mentioned are the Sants of the South (Maharashtra), and lineages affiliated with Sant Dadu Dayal, Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, and Soami Ji Maharaj (Sant Radhasoami Sahib) of Agra.

"It is not necessary that there should be only one Master in the whole world or even in a single country. There have been different Masters in different countries at the same time, and even in the same country. Thus Guru Nanak and Kabir were contemporaries, and so also Dadu and Guru Arjan. But their teaching is the same at all times and in every country." (Huzur Baba Sawan Singh)

“Another common misconception is that prophets, saints and mystics search for ‘new’ truth. Rather, what they do is to simply remove the layers of dirt -- of accumulated misinterpretations -- that have corrupted the truth. Then the living teacher will bring forth the very same truth in a new light. The original truth must repeatedly be presented to suit the current age.” (Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj)

Sorry, I have been away for awhile.

I will catch up as soon as I can.

Blessings on this FRIDAY, TARAS Birthday.

June 28th day of Namo Guru:

Homage to Guru Khyentse Ozer

Ten Bhumis of the Bodhisattvas

Question: Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Rinpoche, can you please describe the ten bhumis of the bodhisattvas?

Answer: First, I will list the names of the ten bhumis.

1. Extremely Joyful (rabtu dga’ba)

2. Stainless (drima medpa)

3. Luminous (’odbyed)

4. Blazing Light (’od ’phroba)

5. Challenged to Purify (sbyang dka’ba)

6. Actualizing (mngondu byedpa)

7. Going Far (ringdu songba)

8. Unshakable (mig yo ba)

9. Perfect Intelligence (legspa’i blogros)

10. Dharma Cloud (choskyi sprinpa)

Master Chandrakirti and many other teachers connected these ten with a teaching given by the Buddha known as the Ten Bhumi Sutra (Skt. Dasabhumikasutra). In this text, the ten bhumis are linked to the paramitas. You are already familiar with the sixth paramita of wisdom, or prajnaparamita. This wisdom paramita can be further divided four ways to make a total of ten paramitas. The seventh is called the paramita of skillful means, upaya). The eighth is the paramita of power (Tibetian: bala). The ninth paramita is wishes, or aspirations (Tibetian,Mon Lam: Sanscrit, Pranidhana). The tenth is the paramita of primordial wisdom (yeshes . jnana).

The first bhumi, Extremely Joyful, intensifies the quality of the first paramita, generosity. This doesn’t mean that the other paramitas are not there.... During the onset of the first bhumi, transcendental generosity practices are especially wonderful, freely shining and vibrating with bodhichitta. On the second bhumi, Stainless, transcendental morality ripens. This is followed by transcendental patience on the third bhumi, and continues like that to the tenth bhumi, Dharma Cloud. At this level, primordial wisdom is radiant and brilliant. This is the relation of the ten paramitas to the ten bhumis.

… When you enter the third path, which is the Path of Seeing. Seeing means you see directly what you’re meditating on. Until now, our meditation and understanding has been somewhat conceptual and theoretical. On the Path of Application, one has an increasingly clear intellectual understanding, but still relies on a conceptual element. On the Path of Seeing you now see things as they are, completely and directly. The Path of Seeing is also the first of the ten bhumi bodhisattva levels. On the first bhumi, you see the true nature exactly as it is.

This is followed by the fourth path, known as the Path of Meditation. Upon entering the Path of Meditation, you are on the second bhumi. The Path of Meditation is divided into nine levels, classified into three main groups of small, medium, and big, each of which is subdivided into small, medium, and big levels that represent the nine degrees of obscurations of knowledge that still remain. From the biggest of the big, to the smallest of the small, these also correspond to the remaining nine bhumis, from the second to the tenth. After the tenth bhumi, you enter the fifth Path of No More Learning. This is enlightenment, the culmination of the Five Paths and the realization of buddhahood.

Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche

The historic statues and idols of Gods and Goddesses were self-portraits of the reverent human qualities they saw echoed in the heavens. The 12 zodiacs each personifying a force they deemed to be worshipped. Our lives have changed dramatically since human beings were viewed in this light, but we are still performing these divine acts that we once deemed as deities in one another

Aries: In Aries they saw The Heroine with the Spiritual Fire burning within her mind. The manifestation of Divine Will, the ones familiar with supreme power and wisdom, willing to risk everything. They saw the Great Imaginer who directly received visions from beyond, and they saw a feminine erotica and rage that could burst things into flames. They saw the Voyager and the clever strategist who seemed to be directly in tune with the will of God leading them into new lands, battles, and seas. Aries was the one capable of leading their nation, the one who mediated and counselled the masculine and the feminine. They were the ones with the Spirit of Spring that reanimated life and demonstrated the possibility of life after death.

Taurus: In Taurus they saw the ones who the choir of angels used as an instrument. They saw the Empress of Nirvana, the ones who wrote the cosmic tune. The ones who flowing in the rhythm of nature, performing sorcery playing with the colours, minerals and materials of earth, personifying the image of Divine Beauty. They saw the carries of the Womb of Consciousness in the cerebellum in which Taurus rules, and conveys the Divine Feminine Language. In this, they saw the very Cosmogonic Principle itself, the clairaudient personification of The Ancestral Mother of All Life, unconditionally providing the agriculture that sustains life like only a parent could. 

Gemini: In Gemini they saw the inventor of words and thus The Magician, Enchanted Writer, the Storytelling Sage, The Teacher mediating between Heaven and Earth who could cast spells with the symbols of alpha within the consciousness of others, the one whose mind was so illuminated it was like a golden helmet. They saw the playfully Eternal Divine Child whose mercurial wand bought much joy to all cosmic beings. They saw the ones who were light footed astral beings, capable of sending their heavenly messages through any medium as The Psychopomps, the Cosmic Mind with resolved duality. They saw the patrons who bought the wisdom of the heavens to earth and the dispensers of astrology, alchemy, and the Word of God

Cancer: In Cancer they saw the Mystic Midwife and Mother Goddess who helped bring life into the world and also soothe the pain of labour. They saw the anointed being that had no earthly source, whose origin could not be traced. They saw the Guardian of the Lunar Rays who communicated with the Moon, spirit guides, passed ancestors, the creators and maintainers of kairos or spirit’s time, and the witches who conducted the forces of nature to practice ritual, divination, pharmacy, with inherited prophecy and ability to move the seas with the tides, protected by an army of crossed souls who guarded them. They saw the personification of Matriarchal Consciousness, who carried the Cosmic Womb, the umbilical cord into dreamtime and the feminine soul, the ones capable of delivering prophecies from dream and fantasy

Leo: In Leo they saw the Heroine and the Princess of Light who won the battle for the sun, the Angel of Abyss who was plunged into the darkness to provide life. The one with the highest willpower possible to slay the demon in a nightly ceremony, the one who placed the Sun in its zenith. The early morning amber glow was their declaration that Leo war has been won and the day is for worshiping their Sun within They saw the pure essence of God suffer inside human flesh to provide the evolutionary earth experience. In Leo they saw the Lion, the King of the Jungle roaming and commanding in their gracious sovereignty, glorifying God and His Rule in every movement. They saw the Children of the Fire that ignited the pure Divine Spirit. They saw the ones carried by heavenly carriages, glorifying the possibilities of the universe

Does my medication (mental disorders) make it difficult for me to communicate with my spirit guides and/or supernatural? If it helps I'm on mood stabilizers and medication for panic attacks (benzos)..

<3 So the limitations of the physical mind are pretty huge. We can make the spiritual world out to be something that it isn’t... Like, you detect spirits, right? But it is not going to be in the same way when your brain feels better and you don’t have those limitations anymore. Like with a friend I had, he had schizophrenia, so a lot of the things he thought and said were just plain not correct, but that is because of his limitations. But, let me tell you one thing, he was one of the most psychic people I have ever met. And here is why: Because he had schizophrenia and believed so strongly, his spiritual connection was in tact but it was not being transferred right in his sick brain. So he would think, a guru named Mayer Baba was talking to him, though he was very severe and on 40 medications, and I don’t believe it was Mayer Baba...like, schizophrenia is very real and the limitations of the mind can cloud what is truly there. So basically, he would come into my room (I was at a mental health house thing) and he would tell me something extremely personal at the exact right time that nobody could ever know, and he always said “God wanted me to tell you” or something, but he was a sensitive. IF he did not hear or see anything anymore, he would still be a medium, but WITHOUT the limitations of schizophrenia, which is what he THOUGHT was spiritual when it wasn’t, he might feel confused and like his spirituality has been taken away from him. No, the limitations are just gone. You have to find the true nature of spirituality when the limitations leave... and that is kind of scary, but I have done it... You are for sure a very sensitive person, and anxiety can heighten our senses, but that is not the way to turn on spirituality because, well, anxiety sucks. It is not gone! Do not stop taking the meds that get rid of limitations. I hope this helps<3

How best cloud based ERP for small business benefit them.

There is a common misconception amongst people that small and medium businesses do not require IT solutions. After consulting with many SMEs, we realized small and medium businesses have the same problems that big corporates have. lets discuss how  cloud based erp solution for small business benefits them.

Like conglomerates use SaaS-oriented solutions to automate their business operations, SMEs also need that. Even though SMEs have different IT requirements, that doesn’t mean they can pursue their business without embracing technology.

 Therein the significance of cloud-based ERP systems comes into the picture. In this article, we’ll explain how the cloud-based SaaS ERP system benefits small and medium enterprises.

 SaaS-oriented ERP systems allow us to stop focusing on the micromanagement of the business and focus on core business operations.

 Contrary to popular belief that SaaS-based ERP solution increases IT expense, the business can earn a substantial return over their investment by embracing it properly.

 SaaS-oriented ERP systems are simple to manage and deploy, so you don’t require dedicated IT training to use them.

 Many IT Gurus claim that cloud-based ERP solutions address problems faced by small and medium-scale businesses. Leveraging the power of these ERP systems, SMEs can stay competitive in the world.

 One study conducted by Panorama reveals a 37% increase in the adoption of cloud-based ERP solutions. What’s more appealing about this study is that all the participants of this study are from North America and the majority are owners of small and medium enterprises.

 Let’s dig deeper into how a cloud-based ERP system benefits small and medium businesses.

 1.     Enhance Operational Efficiency

 Since SaaS-based ERP systems are accessible from anywhere, integrating them into your business boosts efficiency and streamlines workflow. These EPR systems enable companies to maximize their productivity, reduce IT infrastructure costs, and avoid dealing with IT-related troubles.

 With improved operational efficiency, the business can channel the same resources to achieve sustainable growth. Thus, the SaaS ERP system provides your better ROI.

 2.     Optimal Utilization of Scarce Resources

 Harnessing the true potential of cloud-based ERP systems, businesses can better utilize their scarce resources. You don’t have to be an IT expert to install and configure SaaS software.

Eventually, you can save the time that you would otherwise spend on software maintenance and configuration. Moreover, you don’t have to hire too much IT staff for your business.

 On the other hand, SaaS software significantly reduces a business IT expenditure. For instance, by integrating the SaaS-based ERP system, you don’t have to pay for the software license and upgrade.

 Moreover, by selecting the pay-as-you-go model, you can avoid the license expense. That means you can consume software services like a utility.

 With the advent of cloud-based SaaS ERP systems, SMEs can also reap the benefits of state of the art software like the large conglomerates. Therefore, they can unleash great cloud ERP systems for invoicing, budgeting, bookkeeping, and inventory management by spending a small amount.

 3.     Enable Scalability, Accessibility, and Integration

 The subscription-based model of the SaaS software provides tremendous flexibility to small and medium businesses. Since the SaaS-based ERP system is cloud-hosted, you don’t have to purchase a server that makes it easy to switch to another software.

 SaaS ERP systems are solely cloud-based, scalable to the greatest extent, and integrated with other applications.

 As a user of the SaaS-based ERP system, you do not have to spend money running gigantic servers, which Is mandatory while working with the on premise-hosted ERP system.

 As a business owner, all you need to do is to use the software. All the complexities like installation, software maintenance, and integrations of third-party dependencies will be managed by your SaaS provider.

 4.     Compete with Big Players

 SaaS-based ERP system enables SMEs to compete with the big players in the market without compromising their revenues. Since SaaS-oriented ERPs are cost-competitive, so they won’t eat a massive chunk of your revenue.

 For this reason, a growing number of businesses are switching towards SaaS-based solutions to stay relevant in the market. It allows businesses to automate those processes that are vulnerable to human avoidance.

 5.     Better Customer Relationships

 Before the advent of the SaaS-based ERP system, conglomerates have a competitive advantage to afford costly CRMs to expand their outreach. On the other hand, a small and medium-sized businesses cannot afford expensive CRMs, so they would not expand their customer base.

 It could help SMEs to grow their customer base while achieving steady growth and customer loyalty. Apart from that, integrating third-party resources in CRMs help businesses to make most of their available resources.

 From the customer expectation standpoint, both quality and efficiency are equally important. Customers now expect the brand to be aware of their desires. Delighted customers with outdated software is a mere nightmare. That is why SaaS-oriented CRMs has become crucial.

 Furthermore, it could help businesses extrapolate meaningful insights of the data to understand what their targeted customers are expecting.

 To facilitate your customers, you need advanced analytics tools that can decipher your customer-related data. Therefore, you can monitor customer interaction with your business and forecast their future buying decision.

 6.     Reduce Cost

 According to a study conducted by Panorama, many businesses have managed to improve their core business operations by adopting cloud-based SaaS ERP systems. 49% of this study participants have improved all their business operations, whereas 46% have improved vital business operations.

 Conclusion

 Many corporate executives and business owners firmly believe that by adopting cloud-based SaaS ERP systems, they can leapfrog into the future of technology.

 If SMEs harness the SaaS ERP system appropriately, they can save time and money, ensure customer engagement, and maximize productivity. Besides, a business can avoid problems that arise due to software maintenance. Swam business system provides best cloud erp for small business

 Since you are outsourcing your IT infrastructure to the SaaS vendors, you no longer have to focus on micromanaging. Eventually, you can emphasize consolidating your bottom line.

New Post has been published on http://yaroreviews.info/2021/03/china-linked-hack-hits-thousands-of-microsoft-customers

China-Linked Hack Hits Thousands of Microsoft Customers

A cyberattack on Microsoft Corp.’s MSFT 2.15% Exchange email software is believed to have infected tens of thousands of businesses, government offices and schools in the U.S., according to people briefed on the matter.

Many of those victims of the attack, which Microsoft has said was carried out by a network of suspected Chinese hackers, appear to be small businesses and state and local governments. Estimates of total world-wide victims were approximate and ranged broadly as of Friday. Tens of thousands of customers appear to have been affected, but that number could be larger, the people said. It could be higher than 250,000, one person said.

While many of those affected likely hold little intelligence value due to the targets of the attack, it is likely to have netted high-value espionage targets as well, one of the people said.

The hackers have been exploiting a series of four flaws in Microsoft’s Exchange software to break into email accounts and read messages without authorization, and to install unauthorized software, the company said. Those flaws are known as zero days among cybersecurity professionals because they relied on previously undisclosed software bugs, suggesting a high degree of sophistication by the hackers.

Technology

A weekly digest of tech reviews, headlines, columns and your questions answered by WSJ’s Personal Tech gurus.

“It was being used in a really stealthy manner to not raise any alarm bells,” said Steven Adair, founder of the cybersecurity company Volexity Inc., one of the firms that Microsoft credited with reporting the issue.

Microsoft publicized the attack Tuesday and identified the culprits as a Chinese cyberespionage group that it dubbed Hafnium. The company provided a software patch to users to fix the bugs.

A few days before that happened, however, the hackers changed tactics. They abandoned stealth and began using automated software to scan the internet for vulnerable servers and infect them, Mr. Adair said. “The attackers cranked up a huge notch over this past weekend,” he said. “They’re just hitting every Exchange server they can find on the internet.”

A Microsoft spokesman said Friday the company was working with government agencies and security companies on mitigating the incident, but declined to comment on the scope of the attack. News of the attack’s scope was reported earlier by the blogger Brian Krebs.

Cybersecurity

For years, U.S. authorities have accused China of widespread hacking targeting American businesses and government agencies. China has denied these allegations.

This latest attack follows a suspected Russian cyberattack, disclosed in December, on American government systems and businesses. But that attack, which broke into a networking-software provider called SolarWinds, was a surgical strike that hit about 100 companies and nine government agencies. By contrast, this latest incident was more of a shotgun blast, infecting tens of thousands of victims or more.

Security experts familiar with the matter said among the concerns with this latest attack is that incident-response teams are already pushed to their limits handling that earlier, continuing problem. Microsoft has said the two attacks aren’t related.

This latest incident has prompted widespread concern within the Biden administration, as several government officials in recent days have sought to warn about its potential severity. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued a rare emergency directive this past week requiring federal government agencies to immediately patch or disconnect products running Microsoft Exchange on-premises products. CISA held a call Friday with more than 4,000 critical infrastructure partners in the private sector and state and local governments encouraging them to patch their systems.

Also on Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters during a press briefing that the Microsoft vulnerabilities were of significant concern and “could have far-reaching impacts” and result in a “large number of victims.”

In an update to its alert, posted Thursday, CISA warned that hackers were using automated tools to scour the internet for vulnerable Exchange servers.

Security company Symantec has identified a “handful” of hacking groups, all linked to China, behind these attacks, said Vikram Thakur, a security researcher at the firm. The victims have tended to be small and medium-size organizations because many larger ones either don’t run some of the Exchange components that include these flaws or limit access to Exchange by using security tools such as virtual private networks, he said.

Users of Microsoft’s cloud-based Office 365 product are unaffected by the hack, the company said.

Mandiant, another security firm, said in a blog post this past week that it had witnessed multiple instances of Microsoft Exchange Server abuse dating to January. Detected victims of the attack include U.S.-based retailers, local governments, at least one university and an engineering firm, Mandiant said.
