Wisdom Teachings - Sat Yoga, Costa Rica

How does one get locked into an ego? Why did we learn to lie—even to ourselves? How to break free? What kind of identity can we look forward to in the once and future golden age?  

The Great Work of Self-realization requires the dropping of all concepts and the elimination of all mental chatter. This destroys the illusion of duality. And reveals the divine splendor that fills the cosmos and will soon shine so brightly that the world will disappear in the radiant sameness that saturates the consciousness of those who see with the Eye of Shiva.   (The event was a retreat entitled Divine Love is Real, recorded on February 20, 2012.)

How the conspiracy to take down the human species was prepared and executed, and how it will be defeated, is the subject of this big-picture discourse. Higher powers than the human are participating in this mighty struggle between good and evil that will that will bring world history to its climax. If you wish to serve in the brigades of the Light and gain victory over the dark side, then there are a few essential skills that must be mastered. These core competencies are explained in depth.

When the heart breaks open, it is time to celebrate. What stops the process is the ego’s attachment to its self-image as a tragic hero and its loyalty to an object of love. It requires an even greater love—God’s love—to sacrifice the limited identity and realize the Self as Infinite Divine Love.

"What is the cause of pain and what is the path to freedom from its physical manifestation?" a student asks. In his response, Shunyamurti explains that whatever dis-ease symptoms are appearing in the body or the mind are symbols of repressed heart-knowledge. Two questions can re-start the flow of Truth. Only Truth felt with deep love can set us free.

Every morning before dawn, for thousands of years, Sat Yogis have been gathering together by the Holy River of Divine Love to make a sacrificial offering of the ego in order to serve all souls as towering beacons of spiritual power. Let us purify our attitudes and intentions so we can fulfill our mission now, in the world’s darkest hour.

A few words from a little-known Sufi poet-sage of the tenth century can pry open your heart with an explosive charge of Truth that you cannot resist. Shaikh Abu-Saeed Abil-Kheir, better known by the title of his book: Nobody Son of Nobody, ably translated by Vraje Abramian, will bring a different kind of tear to flow from your eyes. Hear these poems and weep.

To see through the ego’s delusions, one must adopt a scientific approach to the highest yoga. One’s intellect must be able to integrate quantum physics with the perspectives of semiotics, complexity theory, chaos theory, psychoanalysis, and archetypal psychology. One must recognize how these disciplines are fully congruent with classical metaphysics and the philosophy of religion. One must avoid the trap of taking religious imagery and dogma literally, rather than as metaphor, and be able to discern the underlying referent within religious mythology. Only with an accurate orientation toward to the Real Source of our consciousness can we hope to realize God.

The soul that is determined to escape from the ego’s control must develop a number of virtues and powers in order to gain the freedom to ascend to God-consciousness. To live as a true spiritual warrior, one must use whatever is left of one’s drive to know the Truth, and be willing to open one’s heart and offer the soul’s love to the Almighty One. There is good reason to call this the Hero’s Journey!

To cope with the cataclysmic events that are about to erupt in the world, we must be living in Truth. The ego is based on a false premise and is filled with delusional projections. If we do not become free of its paranoid attitude and closed heart, we will not be able to connect with the God-Self. Use wisely the time that remains.

The solution to the riddle of impossible humility is offered with humor and compassion for the human condition. The same riddle is posed in a slightly different way by every wisdom tradition, yet always pointing to the same paradox. You can't make effort to be effortless. One can never attain humility, since claiming it refutes the claim. There must be some way out of this, but it requires abandoning all hope

This retreat is intended to prepare all seekers for what is coming! In this invitation to participate in our upcoming Chaos to Coherence seminar, Shunyamurti expresses the importance of reaching a state of total spiritual coherence--total God-consciousness and total awareness of the Real that transcends the illusion of time, so consciousness can rise beyond the incoming tide of destruction to a level of truth that transmit a vibrational frequency that is a beacon of peace and love amidst the chaos in this dream of the world illusion.

Reality is revealed from the perspective of a liberated sage, who perceives only the luminous, blissful, eternal Self. By giving our hearts to our beloved Supreme Self now, we can be lifted out of range of any effects of the cataclysmic events about to occur in the phenomenal world. It is useful to know the relative truth about the perilous state of the world and how close we are to thermonuclear Armageddon. But the only reason to know that is to motivate the consciousness to ascend to the Transcendent Real.  

"As we approach the final days of this final period of the Kalpa, the events that occur within the cycle of time become ever more extreme, and the extreme polarities of consciousness become ever more powerful, and the middle range of the spectrum of consciousness becomes weaker." In this morning teaching, Shunyamurti reminds us that we have the power to choose between the divine and the demonic energies, and the moment of choice is now. Is your soul encased by the ego or will you decide to take refuge with the protector of all souls and become a being of light, not matter.

Surprise! Shunyamurti offers insight into the element of surprise as a complementary aspect to the trinity, forming the invisible principle that creates a quaternity, and which is actually the creative freedom and power required to redream the world which appears as a spectrum of (often surprising) moments of pleasure and pain, revealing that perceived glitches are actually perfect opportunities to recognize the incredible mystery of an authentic spiritual path to awakening.

What does it mean to kill your ego? Shunyamurti offers a solution to the problem of the ego–no mind! Take refuge in the effortless, natural state–your true nature–and you will discover your identity is a fiction, all is contained, ordained, and explained by your true Self, and reality will unfold without obstruction.

Open your heart and receive the power and shakti that comes from Divine Love! In this guided meditation journey, Shunyamurti invites us to attune to Presence. When you feel the presence of the Supreme within, the joy of eternal consciousness will be realized as your Self, and the infinite intensity of energy in the Zero Point will annihilate the ego-mind and purify the consciousness, so you can be reborn as Holy Spirit.

The true significance of Namaste is revealed, along with the real meaning of dreams, insights into the state of deep sleep, and its revelatory connection to the source of life energy.

We are near the end of Kali Yuga, and it seems like there is so much karma to purify. Will this baggage burden us even in the next cycle of time? Shunyamurti responds to a question about the function of karma. Graduation from the school of life and death requires purification of consciousnes. If you clean up your karma now you can receive a passport to Liberation and the heavenly realms.

Shunyamurti casts light on the archetype of all illnesses: every symptom is a symbol and a blessing, if one is able to understand the klein bottle aspect of reality--that every ego's got it all inside out.
