The Dragon Ball Universe and Our Reality
The
Dragon Ball Universe and Our Reality
by Sage Harber: A Grey
Matter Alchemist
The Dragon Ball series is one of the
most wonderful pieces of Work in the modern era. It is still as yet
unknown if the author was, or is, aware of the scale with which this
Work covers. Though my guess is, he is indeed aware. You may be
asking yourself why the use of a capitol “W” when referring to
Dragon Ball. The answer is simple. Any Work that conveys the Great
Work, as it is called in western alchemy, also known as the Tao (or
Dao) in the east, deserves this distinction. Dragon Ball, including Z
and GT, however, go far beyond showing the viewer the initiatory
stages of the Great Work.
This article is by no means a full
explanation of the symbolism and allegory within the Dragon Ball
series. What will be covered here, will be brief, and if you are
unfamiliar with the series, there is no doubt you will have many
questions. There is so much within Dragon Ball, that to begin to
write a full length book on the subject is a momentous undertaking.
Huge credit goes out to Derek for doing this Work, and releasing his
primer book “It's Over 9000! When Worldviews Collide”.
Today we will be discussing the Dragon
Ball universe and how it relates to our current reality. The angle of
approach will be wide, and many details will be left out, both due to
time constraints and to get you thinking, and asking questions, to
prompt your own Path of discovery. With that said, we will begin with
the hierarchy of the Dragon Ball universe and how it relates to
levels of consciousness. With this foundation we will move into
Goku's Path of Enlightenment and Transformation, which has multiple
stages, finally culminating with the Earth's own Transformation.
Stick with me here, this will be one heck of a ride!
Disclaimer
What is shown and described within this
article is my own interpretation of Dragon Ball, and the many
other subjects I have looked into. By no means take my words as
truth. Look for yourself, find your own Path, follow your own
intuition. You know the feeling I am talking about. The chills down
your back, pay attention to those moments; what is the subject, what
is being said, how it is being said and how did you felt about it. If
you felt uplifted, excited, happy, joyful, loved; any uplifting
feeling, don't let it slide by unnoticed.
Some of the subjects and processes
discussed here have to do with internal energy work and, what can be
considered altered states of consciousness. By that I mean, not your
“every day” experiences. I beg of you not to take these things
lightly. If you attempt these methods alone, the risks are high;
physical sickness, mental sickness and/or spiritual sickness could
occur. Death is even a possiblity. These things can happen without
your awareness. So it is imperative to learn slowly, mindfully and
not let your ego control your thoughts or actions. If you would like
to begin self-cultivation, I suggest finding a school where you can
learn Tai Chi, Qigong and meditation. Yoga can be another option, but
as with any school, you must first make sure the teacher is right for
you. There are a lot of “Mc. Dojo's” out there, both in the
martial arts, yoga and spiritual communities. Stay alert always, and
remember, All There Is, Is Lessons.

Hierarchy of the
Dragon Ball Universe and The 9 Levels of Consciousness
I started out typing a lengthy
explanation, but, reading is not my cup of tea, let alone writing a
bunch of mess. So, lets stick with pictures as much as possible! But
before we get into pictures, a very important point needs to be made.
In the universe, there is duality. Yin and yang, white and black,
good and bad, Service To Others (STO) and Service To Self (STS). It
is in the STO and STS realm which we will be working for much of this
discussion. Why you ask? Because this is the primary choice which
determines where a Being is, or is going, in the universe, as it relates to the evolution of consciousness. However, while this is a choice, the Reality is, weather you are STO or STS, ultimately, you are serving the Source and learning in which ever Path you choose. There is no "right" or "wrong", there is only Freewill.
First we will start with an image of
the Dragon Ball universe. For this we will be using a fan made image.
Yes, I know some of the translations are a little off in this image.
So all you hardcore fans out there, my apologies. Original source:
http://s181.beta.photobucket.com/user/bussani_album/media/dragon_ball_z/fanoyofullfrm2fb17ebyq4.jpg.html
Now that we have a nice visual image of
the DB universe. Let's take a look at the Nine Levels of
Consciousness. This first photo is the Mayan's description of the
nine levels of Consciousness Co-Creation, from the Big Bang, to where
we are at this moment in time, from a more physical scientific and
behavioral perspective. By the way, this is what the Mayan Calendar
tracts, and contrary to popular belief, their calender did not end on
December 21, 2012. The calendar rolled over, and started a new cycle
with the 13th Baktun. The beginning of the 13th Baktun is referred to
as the “end of time”, but we will return to this later. For now,
this is just a reference for how life evolved to date. Original
source: http://www.mayanmajix.com
Now, let's take a look beyond the
physical and behavioral side of consciousness, and point our
awareness towards the spiritual. Original source:
http://iasos.com/metaphys/bashar/Bashar-9-Levels.html
You might be wondering how the heck all
this ties together. Well, this is what the image below attempts to
do.
I did not address Hell or Demon land in
this because they are not the point of this article, however, most
mythologies seem to suggest the layout shown in DB is somewhat
accurate. I will say this, both Hell and Demon land are, more than
likely, places were the beings are so lost from the Source (STO;
Unconditional Love, Acceptance and Forgiveness), in a STS (dog eat
dog, greedy, thieving, murdering, lying) environment, that their
energetic vibration is becoming lower and lower. This, I believe, is
why it is nearly always referred to as the Abyss.
Goku's Path of
Enlightenment and Transformation
Step one:
Grandpa Gohan, Master Roshi, Master Korin and the Ultra Divine Water
You all know Goku's genetics: He's a
Saiyan and they love to fight, destroy and conquer. Before hitting
his head as a child, Goku embodied his genetic heritage, or you can
say, his consciousness to that moment in his evolution. Once he fell
and hit his head, that physical injury altered his brain, removing
those inherited traits from his beliefs, emotions and thoughts;
affectively removing his base ego. Thus he was given the name Goku,
or empty mind, which is the perfect type of mind according to Taoism.
The framework grandpa Gohan built in this empty mind was kindness and
compassion towards others, with a splash of the Way of the Warrior.
Master Roshi trained Goku's body and mind even more along these
lines. Now we come to Master Korin, the cat, which cat's are said to
be able to see the astral plain, or energetic plain, with more ease
than humans and other animals.
Before we get started with Master
Korin, some new information needs to be introduced. Namely, the
luminous body (energetic body) and how it operates via the chakra
system. For this lets take a look at the following image. Original
source:
http://zenyogaorientalphilosophy.blogspot.com/2009/07/tantra-yoga-part-9-chakras-sahasrara.html
Note: This photo came from a post on
tantra yoga, however I do not suggest that route for spiritual
cultivation. It too easily leads one astray into attachment. I will
say, from personal experience, sexual union can be gained; this is
where both parties are open to one another, and giving
unconditionally to one another, without trying to control the
situation. The result of this can be the opening of the 4th chakra,
or the heart chakra. But like I said, you can become attached to this
activity and become stuck.
I chose this image because it also
shows which element is associated with the lower chakras. It is the
lower 3 chakras that nearly everyone operates on, unconsciously. Here
you can see the 7 chakra's that reside inside the body. There is an
8th chakra just above the head, still within our luminous body, and a
9th chakra above that, just outside the luminous body. All 9 chakras
are connected via a tiny thread. Below is a description of each
chakra from the Andean Shamanic tradition. Of all the traditions that
speak of the chakras, this is the one I have come to view as the most
complete, and with the least amount of distortions, as it relates to
our luminous bodies; which is of the utmost importance.
9. Where we live in God, All Is One,
the Source
8. Radiant Sun, Soul washes us in it's
rays, can create a new body, expands like a golden egg, personal
experience with God, how we experience Him.
7. Our connection to the Source
6. Our personal Divine, how we see into
the heart of things
5. Psychic seat, from where we express
the dreams and the world responds
4. Love, freedom and intimacy
3. How we manifest via our will, how
the world perceives the self
2. Sexual, identity of ourself
1. Survival, grounding, connection to
the Earth
Goku finds his way to Korin tower
because of the 4star ball. Now, as in all of DB, nearly everything
has a symbolic meaning. The dragon balls are no different. There are
7 of them, and each ball represents one of the 7 chakra's within the
human body. Because of Goku's mindset: non-ego driven, with a good
belief, emotional and thought foundation, he is only searching for
the 4star ball because it reminds him of his loving grandpa Gohan,
and cares not for the others. The 4star ball represents Love, more
specifically, unconditional love towards yourself and others, or
Service To Others.
As you might remember, Korin tower is
located in the west, is white, and very tall, with carvings of
geometry, animals and Indian looking faces on it. Bora, Upa's father,
tells Goku, the only way to get to the top and train with Korin, is
to use your own strength. Technology is of no use in this pursuit,
and as we find out, the only other person to make it to the top
before Goku, was Master Roshi. What does Goku learn on this first
visit with Master Korin? He learns of his conscious past, present and
future by looking into water. Water is nearly always a reference to
the Tao, or the ability to flow along the path of least resistance.
He learns how to control his Breath and read the movements of others
by their Breath. Breath here is not just air, it is chi, or ki, or
life force. Once mastered, he is able to drink the Sacred Water. This
is the first step in the self-cultivation practice of internal
alchemy.
On Goku's second trip to see Master
Korin, he asks for more training. After Korin sees Goku is not afraid
of death, he says, “well if he's not afraid of death, I guess he
can take a sip.” This is in reference to the Ultra Divine Water.
Korin tells Goku that the Ultra Divine Water is not like the Sacred
Water, which is for amateurs, but it is the Real stuff. Basically,
Korin is saying that if Goku accepts the challenge, he will be
surpassing Master Roshi. Paraphrasing, Korin says this about the
Ultra Divine Water, “This Water is most certainly Divine. Sacred
Water is just Water with a kick, there is no magic in it. But Ultra
Divine Water is packed with mystical properties and a magical zing.
To enjoy it's benefits, you must first track it down. It is a
perilous journey. Far to the north there is a treacherous maze of
ice. To obtain it, you must first navigate this icy labyrinth, with
many confusing paths to choose from, but only one exit. You can find
yourself wondering aimlessly for weeks, years or until death. If you
go, the one thing you must avoid, is darkness. You will fear it, it
will be your greatest challenge. This darkness is blacker than night.
It veils the Ultra Divine Water in illusions so cunning, you may
never escape it's empty void once caught.” Thanks to Goku's
mindset, built by his previous masters, the archetype of the Warrior
Sage/Fool became the foundation of his ego when he choose to
undertake this journey, to save the Earth from King Piccolo. Because
of this, he is able to see through the illusions and finds the Water,
which is held in a white container, with the writing in white and a
red inner background. A note here, red is the color of the root
chakra, (the first chakra, or Earth) and white is the 7th chakra, the
crown. In other words, the first and last chakras that reside inside
the human body. Darkness tells him, “It is very dangerous. One must
be both mentally and physically strong to survive it, if unsuited, it
means certain death. To make Goku stronger is uncertain. The Ultra
Divine Water takes advantage of special powers within you. If you
have no power, nothing will change. Only those with the special power
will become stronger, the others will die. Thirteen have drank the
water before, none survived.” After drinking the Ultra Divine
Water, Goku's life runs in his mind, one event after the other,
showing you his training, the Dragon (which is a symbol of the Tao)
and his impending challenge (King Piccolo). Then his individual
unconscious power flows forth into his consciousness. Keep in mind,
not the awareness of it, he only tapped into some of the abilities
which he unconsciously possesses, not all of them. Once he regains
himself, he says “I feel different, but I can't explain it.” Goku
says it's time, and Yajirobe is confused and says they doesn't know
the way out. Goku however, responds with, “I do, it's so clear.”
Goku can now sense things and his intuition has awakened. When
speaking with Korin, Goku explains it like this, “I sense it. I
feel it. I'm not what I was before. And it's not just the strength
either. I feel power and at peace. With everything.” He can also
now sense power levels, chi, ki, or the life force of others.
So let's review: Because of Goku's head
injury, his dna built ego of the STS Warrior was cleaned, becoming a
“shadow self”, and replaced with a STO Warrior Sage/Fool
archetype foundation by grandpa Gohan, Master Roshi and his choice to
sacrifice himself, so that he might be able to help others.
The Warrior Sage/Fool archetypes are both internal and external.
Meaning they can switch rolls, so at one moment, on the outside he
looks like a Fool, but he's really acting from the Warrior Sage
archetype from within his own mind and vise-versa. He learns to
control his breath, which is an internal alchemical process dealing
with the tan tian, from Master Korin, learning the way of water and
mercury. Later he makes his way through the labyrinth, because he was
operating from his heart, or 4th chakra via air, and drinks the Ultra
Divine Water (sulfur). This gives him momentary access to his
individual unconscious mind (fire); allowing him to see how the Tao
has operated in his life, how it operates in the world, allowing him
to open up his senses to sense energy from others and he now has some
conscious access to his intuition, because he knows his life Path.
His life Path is that of the Warrior Sage/Fool who embodies Service
To Others (unconditional love, acceptance and forgiveness both
towards himself and others) and is willing to sacrifice his life for
others. This process in the west is known as completing the Great
Work; receiving the philosophers stone and the elixir of life. I am
not completely sure as to the terminology used in the east, though I
believe it to be similar. I do know that this process is studied and
practiced in relation to Taoism, Yoga, Buddhism and nearly all
eastern martial art's.
I will mention here, that, in the
Andean shamanic tradition of self-cultivation and healing the
luminous body, what Goku did was access his 9th chakra for a split
second; allowing this knowledge to rush in and because he was able to
physically survive this process, his 8th chakra folded in on itself,
upgrading (for lack of a better word) the 7 lower chakras within the
body. In the west, this is known as the resurrection, death and
rebirth or transformation process that Jesus under went, years prior
to his physical death that is. This can also happen to people who
have near death experiences. Of course, this is only the beginning of
the self-cultivation process. As you know, Goku goes through a few
different transformation processes, and his next master will be Mr.
Popo, where he learns to refine his mind and abilities. Jesus did the
same when he was tested by the Devil in the desert. It was just a
different method of training.
Step two: Temple Above the
Clouds, Mr. Popo and Kami, the Guardian of Earth, the Five Elements
and the Divine Marriage
Korin tells Goku that he can not take
the nimbus cloud any higher than Korin's temple, nor will technology
get you up there. However, Goku's power pole will get him there. The
power pole also represents the Tao, which Goku has had all along. By
way of the Tao, is the only way one can reach the Temple Above the
Clouds. Goku is given a bell, and told that only someone with that
bell can meet Kami. You might think I'm stretching here, and maybe
so, but bare with me. A bell causes noise, which is vibration and
vibration is how energy operates, ie. Frequencies. Even matter is
energy vibrating at a lower rate. Think of water, make it cold, the
vibrations slow and it becomes ice, heat it up, the molecules speed
up in vibration and it becomes steam. Same concept here, except with
the life force within a human. In western science this energy field
is known as the electromagnetic field. Therefor, the only one who can
meet Kami, is one with a vibration high enough, which is attained via
life experience, to rise above the clouds. Goku even passes a
lightening storm on his way, which symbolizes high energy. In keeping
with our 9 levels of consciousness chart, Kami's lookout would be on
the 5th level, the Collective Unconscious, because it is here Goku
learns about the nature of reality.
Mr. Popo is an odd looking black guy
with red lips, big white eyes and a crystal where his 3rd eye would
be. Here we need to know a little bit about yin and yang. Yang is the
masculine energy, which is movement, closed and out pouring. Yin is
the feminine energy, which is stillness, open and receives. From this
alone we can see that Mr. Popo's appearance is on purpose, as he has
a quite, still mind and he is completely open to all, as shown by all
the birds hanging out with him; while at the same time, expresses
movement and speech only when it is necessary. In the first fight
with Popo, Goku asks if he is ready, the reply, “Always.”
Instead of going step by step in Goku's
training with Mr. Popo, here are some phrases Popo uses to help Goku
learn. These are paraphrased:
“It's a shame, you have
such great power but you make such pore use of it. You need to learn
control. Because only then will you be able to pass this test.”
“You would make a great
fighter but you are lacking in physical and mental discipline. You
thought you were the strongest, but know this, there will always be
someone stronger than you. You must keep pushing past what you think
is strength.”
“You need to get rid of
your redundant moves. Energy is far too precious to be wasted. You
must be more tranquil than the sky, and yet quicker than lightening.”
“Empty your mind of
thoughts. Calm as the sky, still as a stone.”
“You must use another
sense, not your two eyes, nor ears. Feel the movement of the air
around me, and then you will be able to see me.”
“One can not describe
sight to the blind, you must stumble upon it yourself.”
“You must shed all that
you are and become blank like the sky.”
“If you only move the
bell once, it make no noise. If it is moved twice, it makes noise.
Those are the redundant moves.”
The fisherman teaches Goku.
“Relax the arms and
body, take it easy. Remain clam like the water. Take in a deep
breath, exhale. Look to the sky. Isn't it beautiful? Keep looking up.
Feel the world around you. Concentrate. Having trouble keeping your
focus? Close your eyes, remain perfectly still. Concentrate on the
sound of the running water, soon you will feel its rhythm. The water
sets the pace for the fish. Once you can feel it's rhythm, you will
be one with your prey. Don't rush it, the fish can sense your stress.
Once you've cleared your mind, you will sense the approaching fish
before it even bites the string. Focus..”
What exactly is it that Mr. Popo and
the fisherman are trying to teach Goku? They are teaching him how to
fully open his 3rd eye, or as it is known in science, the pineal
gland. This is hard for anyone, but much harder for us in the west
because of the fluoride in the water and toothpaste. Not to mention
all the other chemicals which we ingest via our modern diets and the
genetically modified foods which are being pushed upon us by Monsanto
and the government.
Now that we know the underlying idea of
what Goku is learning, where does the weighted clothing come into
play? Firstly, it builds physical strength, stamina and endurance.
Secondly, it increases the amount of energy the body can build up and
contain at a given moment. After a movement training session with
this added weight, the built up energy moves via the path of lease
resistance, this can clear out blockages within your meridian system
(the energy pathways in the body) and if you combine this knowledge
with meditation, this energy, or chi, can be used to nourish the
spirit; and raise the spirit to a higher state of awareness, or
consciousness, thus affecting the luminous body. This is also called
internal alchemy. With this increase over a prolonged period of time,
not only will the physical body adjust, but so to will the luminous
body (energetic body) and because the luminous body operates outside
of the physical, it will, in return, nourish, restore and “upgrade”
the physical body to handle the additional stress. This includes, not
only the bones, muscles, tendons, heart, lungs and other organs, but
also the brain. This in turn will allow the use of more area's of the
brain, which would increase abilities. Once this additional weight is
removed, not only will the physical body feel lighter but the
luminous body will be vibrating a much higher frequency, because of
the training. This will, in theory, allow for greater abilities to be
manifested in the physical reality.
You can see this theory in action when
Goku fights Piccolo at the world martial arts tournament. It is also
during this fight, well, actually, after the fight is over, that you
see Goku's spiritual cultivation has out grown that of Kami's. Kami
realizes this and offers Goku his job as guardian of Earth. However,
as we know, Goku flies off with Chi Chi to get married, following the
Tao the entire way. For an interesting discourse, watch the episodes
after the tournament, where they have to find the Magical Furnace and
learn how Earth and Other World are connected. If you are familiar
with the I Ching, or Inca mythologies, you'll see many interesting
connections.
Step three: Snake Way, King Kai
and the Template Level of Reality
Why is snake way and King Kai's planet
located in the 4th level of consciousness, aka. The template level of
reality? Well, it is here that time moves much slower than it does on
Earth, because this realm is partially physical and partially
non-physical, or energetic, operating at a higher frequency than the
more dense environment of Earth. This is also why the gravity on King
Kai's planet is 10x that of Earth. The higher the spiritual
cultivation of the beings living on the planet, the higher the
planet's gravity. For example, if the gravity at the check-in station
was 10x that of Earth's, then King Yimma would not be as big, he
would be a similar size to King Kai. Then why is Goku not crushed by
the 10x gravity? His luminous body supports his physical body. At
least this is the theory. It should also be mentioned here that Goku
must endure snake way, meaning traveling along a narrow path
for who know's how long, before finally arriving at King Kai's
planet. Later, when Piccolo and the others travel there, King Kai
remarks, they made it there faster than Goku. Why is this? Maybe
because when there are two or more people, helping and supporting
each other, that their energies amplify each other, causing an
accelerated growth in development.
King Kai is an interesting character,
and one of my favorites. His goofiness might be annoying to some, but
I find it up lifting, which is actually the point of his personality.
You see, laughter causes a feeling of joy, which is a Way of speaking
to the spirit. It is the same as the feeling of excitement and love,
you can feel the energy within you, when experiencing these emotions
and they “raise you up”. This is why, to train with King Kai, he
requires that you make him laugh. After this you are ready to begin
the training. Stages one and two, catch Bubbles and hit Gregory seem
to have one goal; to make you stronger. While this is partially true,
the flip side, is that it also raises the awareness and connection
to, your body and environment. As your physical and luminous bodies
adjust to the added stress of the environment, it becomes second
nature, and the mind and spirit are freed for further learning.
The Kaio-ken technique functions by
raising the vibrations of the physical body to the point that the
matter which makes up the physical body becomes more akin to energy,
than matter. A side affect of this is that the body of the user can
be destroyed, but all functions of the body are increased when in the
kaio-ken state. King Kai's remarks for learning the kaio-ken:
“First I want you to
visualize yourself at your very best, both in body and in spirit.”
The Spirit Bomb gathers energy from all
living beings, from 1st density (elements/planets), 2nd density
(plants/animals), 3rd density (humans) and even higher density beings
like stars. This energy is not the user's, but is from outside his
own energetic field, the user is only controlling this energy. It
must be pointed out though, that the user must request or ask
to use this energy from the beings, one can not just take it.
We can see by the techniques learned
from King Kai, that they operate on both the physical and
non-physical reality at the same time. The need to understand the
blueprint of a being's structure is also required for this
techniques, which is another function of this level of consciousness.
It is here that Goku also learns how to channel the energy produced
by anger, in a calm productive manner to enhance his training. This
comes in handy later while fighting Frieza.
Step four: Empty space, 100x
Earth's gravity and accidental forced raising of the spirit.
Goku's training in the space ship, surrounded by empty space, in 100x
gravity is taking King Kai's training to the next level. Goku had
come to understand the affects of training in higher gravity, but the
unintended consequences of being stuck upside down in such high
gravity would come out of nowhere. You see, when you hang upside
down, the blood and chi will follow the path of least resistance.
Which, in this case, because of gravity, is straight to the brain and
the upper chakras. Being stuck upside down in 100x gravity multiplies
this exponentially. This opened up abilities in Goku that he just
started to understand when landing on Planet Namek; reading minds and
being able to see all beings on the planet at once, for example.
Step five: Acceptance of genetic
heritage and the Super Saiyan
The first transformation: Up until this point Goku has relied
on a clam mind and spirit as his path for power and self-cultivation.
After accepting Vegeta's dying request, seeing his best friend killed
and being completely out of energy, Goku's anger turned to rage as he
was out of options, and he transformed into a Super Saiyan. As Goku
would later come to explain the process to Gohan, it came from a
need, not a desire. As Vegeta would later explain it, he had
to let go of everything, and in a since, open up to allow
the energy to flow into him. This is similar to what Popo was
teaching, except this time, it is an inflow of energy from a
different chakra, instead of awareness coming into the 3rd eye
chakra. Where did this energy come from? I believe this was a
Kundalini awakening. Yes, you heard that right. One of many... More
on this shortly.
Step six:
Bibidi, Buu, Uub and the Return of Son Goku
From here we begin to walk the boundary of self-cultivation and
demonic control at the same time. The connections pointed to from
here on out, and how they relate to our present reality, some might
say is crossing the line. My response is, open your eyes my dear
friends, for truth is always stranger than fiction.
Bibidi, the wizard or occult magic user, who uses magic and has no
heart what so ever, akin to a psychopath in our modern terms. We have
these types of people on Earth as well. They hide in secret
societies, the Illuminati for example, and have been present since
ancient times, causing wars and chaos, in an attempt to control the
human population.
Now you know Buu, he is basically an incredibly strong and aware
being, with the mind of a child, but all he knows is destruction, and
cares not for others because he has never been shown that was a
possible Path. That is, until he met Goku and upon his defeat, Goku
requested that he choose to be reborn on Earth, as a “good”
person, for a rematch.
The arrival of Uub. The young boy raised in a loving community, shy
with little confidence and unknown to himself, his own true
potential. After Goku used anger to draw out Uub's power, by making
fun of his family, Uub starts to see his potential. Goku then trains
him, as his replacement, to protect Earth and her people from those
who wish to destroy it.
The moment this task is completed, Goku is transformed into Son Goku
once again, by the power of the Black Star Dragon Balls, or the Tao.
A highly cultivated spiritual being, now in the body of a child; Son
Goku now repeats the same process he had under took before,
collecting the dragon balls, except the scale is much larger. Going
from planet to planet, helping all those he came in contact
with along the way.
Step seven: Super Saiyan Levels
and the Kundalini
This is only a theory on how the Super Saiyan levels draw their
power, so take it with a grain of salt.
In Super Saiyan 1, the need comes from different stimuli for each
person. For Goku it came from loss, which is felt via compassion in
the 4th chakra (heart). For Vegeta, it was letting go of his image of
self, which is from the 2nd chakra. For Gohan, it came from a life or
death situation, or the 1st chakra. So, with this we see that SS1
comes on by different methods for different people, depending on
where they are in their self-cultivation.
With SS2, Gohan got there first, after getting his body, mind and
spirit accustomed to the SS1 state. His SS2 transformation took place
from knowing he had the ability, thus it came forth from the 3rd
chakra because it was Goku's faith in him that allowed the
transformation. Gohan had trouble controlling himself in this state,
and it was only with Goku's help from the Other World, that allowed
Gohan to manifest the power to defeat Cell.
Into SS3, Goku describes this as going deep down, way deep down to
find the power. This seems to point to the fact that you must know
the power is there within yourself.
Super
Saiyan 4 and The End of Time
Here we are now at Super Saiyan 4. SS4 seems to be a little different
than the others. Firstly, to transform naturally, you must have a
tail, be aware and capable of transforming into a SS3. I believe this
tail is referring to the Chong Mai pathway within the body, and dna
activation. In addition to this pathway being fully open, it might be
possible that the tail also points to the Dai Mai pathway, as it is
used for pivoting and is interconnected to all the other main
pathways for energy exchange and balance.
Now, with this additional dna activated and the main pivot/balance
pathway open, it looks as though the desire to be of service to the
Earth and her people, combined with the longing for a peaceful STO
environment on Earth; is the catalyst for the complete awakening of
the Kundalini and the SS4 transformation. Which SS4 can also be
symbolic of 4th Density. This is the personal catalyst but I believe
there is one more factor which is needed. See the image below:
9
Chakras, Their Physical Counter Parts and the Galactic Alignment
The above photo shows how the 7 chakra's within the physical body
connect to the 8th chakra inside the luminous body and the 9th chakra
just outside the luminous body, and the physical representations of
these chakras as they are manifested in the physical world. It also
shows what the Mayan called the Galactic Alignment that took place on
December 21, 2012, what Jesus referred to as the Dawn of the Son of
Man, which is symbolized by the Cross upon which he was crucified,
and what many other cultures talk about in their prophecies of the
“end times”, or transformation period of humanity. Channeled
sources have referred to this as the splitting of the Earth, or
dividing of the Earth, or the birthing of a new Earth. This is
symbolized in DBGT by the Earth (STO) and the Truffle Planet (STS).
Like the dividing of an embryonic cell.
How did I come to this idea? Firstly, this takes place in GT, or
Generation Transformation. In GT the events, the level of severity of
events, happen faster and faster, one after the other and more
intense with each event. The same as how the Mayan and the Bible both
depict the time during the “end of days”. You can see this
happen now, all around you. Also, in GT, it is not the Golden Star
Dragon Balls that are being used, it is the Black Star Dragon Balls;
ancient balls that had long been forgotten.
Remember, in Dragon Ball, there is meaning in everything. The
Golden Star balls represent the source power of the Dragon as coming
from the STO Source (yang). We can see this by the color of the
stars. On the other hand, the Black Star Balls show the energy source
coming from the complete opposite end of the energetic spectrum, or
the STS Source (yin). It is from this source that Goku was
transformed in to Son Goku; akin to the Enlightened Being, being
portrayed as a child.
I have come to the conclusion that the SS4 transformation could only
happen during, or after this alignment. Because the 4th density
energy is now flowing into the Milky Way system, into the Earth and
in turn affecting the humans. When Goku transforms into the Golden
Ape, the energy is still a primal energy source, meaning it has the
ability to be used for STS, or STO, depending on the vessel's choice.
Here, Goku is the vessel because the energy is flowing into him via
Kundalini/Earth connection. We see at first he looses himself in this
power, and can not consciously control it, making him destructive. It
is only after he remembers who he is, that he is able to gain control
of the power within his body, and transform into the humanoid forum
which embodies STO. This IS THE Warrior Sage archetype, fully
realized. This can be seen in the colors which are displayed in this
new form. Goku's body hair is red, showing he is completely rooted in
the Earth, his chest to head are human skin (4th-7th chakras) which
shows that this is the human part of him, with black hair showing he
is fully embodying the Yin, or primal energy, wearing orange pants
showing his 2nd chakra at work and he is outlined in a blue belt,
shoes and wrist bands, showing this is how he displays himself to the
world.
The truth is, some of these connections might be stretching it a bit,
but the level of energy and awareness at a level such as this is
currently, unfathomable.
Earth's
Transformation: Heaven on Earth
It is this section that is most important. In the previous section I
have alluded to the fact that we, the people living on Earth are
currently in the “end times” as foretold by the Maya, Jesus, the
Inka, the Hopi and many other prophetic cultures. This is not a time
for fear, it is a time to rejoice; a time to embrace all aspects of
yourself and others, in unconditional love, compassion, acceptance
and forgiveness of any perceived wrong doings. We all came here to
learn certain lessons. It is time we slow down, step away from the
social paradigm forced upon us by governments and the media, question
why we do the things we do, why the world is the way it is. Let go of
relationships, beliefs, thoughts and emotions that do not service the
higher aspects of Service To Others.
This is the most difficult thing to do. Our ego will do everything it
can to hold on to what it thinks is the self, but this is a weak,
lower self, not your True Self. With much love and endurance, your
ego will come to see the Reality. There are STS beings that are doing
their best to keep us from this. Similar to the Truffle virus, but on
the energetic plain. Call them demons or any other name cultures have
labeled these beings. The point is, these thoughts are not your own.
Truffle = “the fruit people”, fruit is highly acidic. Not good
for internal energy work.
Saiyan = “the vegetable people”, green veggies are highly
alkaline. Great for internal energy work.
The point of this document is simply to get you thinking outside of
the box. Follow your Heart, and you will find your Way. You are not
alone, there are many people and Beings who are assisting each of us
along our Path of unfoldment. Just like Goku on his Path. If you keep
an open heart and mind, always choosing to see the good in each
person and situation; help will always be there when you need it and
least expect it.
With Much Love and Continuing Support

- Do not eat processed food!
- Eat only high alkaline food/liquids!
- Try cultivating a new mental attitude centered in Service To Others, towards the world and those around you, and reinforce this new foundation each moment of the day. If you catch yourself reverting to your old behavioral patters, stay calm, notice what happen, forgive yourself and let it go. Continue on with your practice.
- Spend time in nature. The city environment is destructive to your energetic bodies.
- Become more physically active.
- As non-fun as it might sound, do not over use your sexual organs.
- Get you a Theta meditation audio cd, listen to it with headphones when doing work around the house, at work if possible, while reading or pretty much anywhere you can. The Theta brainwave state helps to calm the mind, clear emotional blockages and rebuild a new mental foundation.
- Watch some Dragon Ball! :)
