Spiritual Growth & Ascension

I am delighted to welcome everyone to this Sacred Website - City Of Shamballa, where we help each other with our spiritual growth, upliftment, & healing by giving each other loving support and by sharing meditations, spiritual practices, Reiki, and healings.
 
And you are also welcome to share any blockages or problems in your spiritual journey, for we may be able to help you and extend Divine Love & Light, Healing, and Wisdom on what you are experiencing.
 
We are all divinely connected to one another, for God's Presence resides within every human being.
 
And all awakened souls are helping manifest our 5th dimensional world by continuing to unfold and embody our own Divine Presence through our spiritual practices and the Divine Healings we all need.
 
So sharing our visions of the new 5th dimensional world we are all creating...and sharing our experiences and spiritual practices that are helping us in our own spiritual journey and healing are important in our website.
 
My vision is to create a world where everyone is living in peace and joy and abundance with all of humanity having realized and embodied their Divine Self.
 
So everyone - feel free to share your Divine Love, Light, Healing Energies,  & Wisdom here with posts that help uplift us all, or in any way your Divine Heart guides you to share with us.
 
I extend to All of You Mother/Father/God's Supreme Blessings Divinely Perfect for each of you for your life, for your healing, and for your spiritual growth.
Love, Steve - Admin

The Basic Differences between the Old and the new Buddha

The Basic Differences between the Old and the new Buddha

The Old Buddha


Some friendly/unfriendly
Relativist view
A dharma is a thing
The Sakyamuni was an historical person
(Note this same transition in Christianity)
Buddha is a noun
Liberates from (life)
Cures ill
Eliminates the response to failure (i.e. suffering)
A dharma is an (after-) effect
A dharma is untrue/unreal
(because dependent)
An effect is empty of own existence
A dharma is (dead) information
Awakened (i.e. sees more)
Claims Basic Operating System’s fault
(Note the same claim in Christianity, at least since Paul and Augustine)
Shifts fundamental blame-for-pain to BOS’s fault
Victim’s view
Helps eliminate local fault
Later:
Pre-empts failure (i.e. with the Noble 8-fold Path)
Died out in India and was replaced by Ganesh
Nirvana ≈ end of suffering
Samsara ≈ continuous, endless (perhaps not)
Colours: amber to red

************

The New Buddha


All friendly
Quantist view
A dharma is a function
Buddha is function inherent in all beings
Buddha is a verb
Liberates to (life)
Prevents ill
Manages the response to failure and success
A dharma is both (after-) effect and (pre-) affect (i.e. cause)
A dharma can be made true/real (i.e. independent)
A function can operate as either empty or full
A dharma is (potentially live) instruction
Aroused (speeds up)
Claims Basic Operating System’s default
Shifts fundamental blame-for-pain to BOS’s user fault (i.e. a mis-app)
Victor’s view
Helps return to original local default setting
Emerged with Mahayana but forgot its core business and was voided by scholiasts (e.g. Nagarjuna et al)
Nirvana ≈ @rest
Samsara ≈ discretely dis-continuous
Colours: amber to green
