Buddha's Teachings
Buddha set forth his teaching in the following doctrine.
The Four Noble Truths:
1. All things and experiences are marked by suffering/ disharmony/ frustration (dukkha)
2. The arising of suffering/ disharmony/ frustration comes from desire/ craving/ clinging.
3. To achieve the cessation/ end of suffering/ disharmony/ frustration, let go of desire/ craving/ clinging.
4. The way to achieve that cessation of suffering/ disharmony/ frustration, is walking the Eightfold Path.
The eightfold path to the cessation of suffering:
1. Right Understanding of the following facts: the truth about suffering ... (The Four Truths); everything is impermanent and changes; there is no separate individual self- this is an illusion. (We are one!)
2. Right Determination to: give up what is wrong and evil; undertake what is good; abandon thoughts that have to do with bringing suffering to any conscious being; cultivate thoughts that are of loving kindness, that are based on caring for others' suffering, and sympathetic joy in others' happiness.
3. Right Speech: Abstain from telling lies. Abstain from talk that brings harm or discredit to others (such as backbiting or slander) or talk that creates hatred or disharmony between individuals and groups. Abstain from harsh, rude, impolite, malicious, or abusive language. Abstain from idle, useless, and foolish babble and gossip. Abstain from recrimination and negative statements. Abstain from harsh speech—practice kindly speech. Abstain from frivolous speech—practice meaningful speech. Abstain from slanderous speech—practice harmonious speech. Speak the truth if it is useful and timely. Practice only necessary speech. Let your speech be filled with loving kindness. Speak that which alleviates suffering.
4. Right Action: Peaceful, honorable conduct; abstain from dishonest dealings; take concrete steps necessary to foster what is good. Do things that are moral, honest, and alleviate suffering. Do not do things that will bring suffering to others or yourself.
5. Right Livelihood: Abstain from making your living from an occupation that brings harm and suffering to humans or animals, or diminish their well being. This includes: activities that directly harm conscious beings, and activities that indirectly harm sentient beings, e.g., making weapons or poisons.
6. Right Effort: Foster good and prevent evil; Work on yourself—be engaged in appropriate self-improvement. The essence of right effort is that everything must be done with a sense of proper balance that fits the situation. Effort should be properly balanced between trying too hard and not trying hard enough. For example, strike the balance between excessive fasting and over-indulgence in food. Trying hard to progress too rapidly gets poor results, as does not trying hard enough.
7. Right Mindfulness or wakefulness: Foster right attention. Avoid whatever clouds our mental awareness (e.g., drugs). Systematically and intentionally develop awareness.
8. Right Concentration: Developed by practicing meditation and/or mental focusing. Proper meditation must be done continuously while awake, and should include work on awareness of body, emotions, thought, and mind objects.
Five basic precepts:
1. Abstain from killing living beings (from destroying/taking life)—or practice love.
2. Abstain from taking the not-given (from stealing)—or practice generosity, practice giving.
3. Abstain from sexual misconduct—or practice contentment.
4. Abstain from false speech (from lying)—or practice truthfulness.
5. Abstain from taking intoxicating drinks—or practice awareness and mental clarity.
Buddha said:
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe anything because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and the benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
The following prose, attributed to Buddha, is a poetic expression of the way he saw the world.
Buddha said:
I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes.
I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles.
I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags.
I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake in India as a drop of oil upon my foot.
I perceive the teachings of the world as the illusions of magicians.
I discern the highest conception of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the illuminated ones as flowers appearing in one's eyes.
I see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, nirvana as a nightmare of daytime.
I look upon the judgments of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragon, and the rise and fall of belief as traces left by the four seasons.

Some thoughts
First I wanted to share that today the actions perfromed in service that helped reinforce the Law of One. Someone was driving around with a car license plate half off. They needed screws. I had extra screws in my wallet from when I changed license plates a while back. I asked him if he would like screws (free will), and he said yes he would love some. I provided him free screws; it felt good to give. I described to him how the license plate gets re-attached. This was an act of love. Both free will and love in harmonic balance.
Later today there was a speed camera zone (a speed trap) set up. I warned drivers by flashing the lights before they entered the zone, saving them a big ticket. Another act of love. Free will was assumed here, as it was an emergency situation where I could not ask. The same would go with healing a person in a coma (although I would ask the person's higher self first).
I saw them as the other self, and I saw them as me. We were together in it and it was easy to give to the other self which was myself. Also I decided to donate to bring4th.org the other day and was instantly paid back the money spent when Lulu's sales came in. What I gave, instantly returned. The balance of the universe. The same thing happened the other day when I gave to one family member via money transfer, I got the same money back from another family member via the mail/post without asking- the same day!
Okay now my wisdom thoughts (Law of One):
The Law of One has 3 basic tenets: Unity/Oneness with Creation, Respect of Free Will, Unconditional Universal Love
Some more additions: Being accepting (saying thank you, happy to receive, happiness with what you have, happiness with who you are) and being generous (happy to give, happy to share, happy to be of service) attracts abundance
Stay balanced in all bodies and all planes: If you car needs repair, fix it (work on the physical plane because it keeps your root chakra unblocked so more energy can flow from root back up to all chakras- think of the trees blog I posted). If you are sad/depressed/angry work on your emotions. Find the inner child. Love the inner child. Be forgiving of yourself and of others. You unblock the root, sacral, solar plexus and heart this way.
No one chakra is more important, but to get the fruit harvest you need to have a strong tree so each step of the way is important.
Prayer and Faith- Commune with God/Creator. Have faith you are 100% protected and loved. Pray for blessings. Be grateful for blessings. Keep the love circuit going.
Devotion to service to others polarity/vows. Vow to the Creator. Devote to the creator. Offer to the Creator yourself as an Instrument of the Creator's Will. You are a vessel of the Creator. All things are possible when you believe.
Perserverance/Will/Focus/Attention to Detail- Work the narrow path and you will receive what you work in return- blessings you earned.

Metatron is my master guide
Did I ever tell you my 5D Master is Saint Germain (I have awareness), my 6D Master is the Lord of Sirius & Lord of Pleiadies in the University of Sirius & Pleaides(I have less awareness), my 7D Master is Lord Melchizedek (even less awareness), my 8D Master is the Cosmic Council of 12/Mahatma (only fragments of knowledge), my 9D Master is Archangel Metatron(even less fragments). The veil is keeping me mostly between 6D (Ra level) and 7D (Melchizedek level) right now. On very occasional moments do I pierce the veil higher than 7D, usually at 3D/4D initiations...
But anyway Metatron is one the paths I take toward the Creator and I am certain Enoch/Metatron are overlighting me, which would explain the mix of writing, wisdom and magic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch
Metatron is also mentioned in the Pseudepigrapha, most prominently in the Hebrew/Merkabah Book of Enoch, also called 3 Enoch or Sefer Hekhalot (Book of [the Heavenly] Palaces). The book describes the link between Enoch son of Jared (great grandfather of Noah) and his transformation into the angel Metatron.

David Wilcock on Coast To Coast AM 8/10/10
David Wilcock speaks with George Noory on Coast To Coast AM, 10th August, 2010
Palden Dorje/Christ Maitreya
Christ Maitreya calls for an Order to manifest Love & Light in this third density to acheive liberation.
It is my perspective that Palden Dorje is Christ Maitreya, the soul of Jesus Christ and Buddha, reborn again on Earth to show the path towards unity with ourselves, the Earth, and the Creator. He calls for an Order to manifest the Love & Light into our physical density to acheive libration (harvest). The Order of Melchizedek is manifesting more and more. It is up to us, each individual, to sow the seeds of love and unity. Only then, can others follow our actions and awaken. Only once enough are awakened can the full power of the 2012 shift manifest on earth and mass harvest happen. Do your best to be the Creator on earth, and your waves of creation will ripple throughout the cosmos. As you sow, so shall you reap.
