Wisdom Teachings - Sat Yoga, Costa Rica

The magic drive is inherent to all beings: it is the urge to master the unfoldment of phenomenal reality. But the modern ego chose the black magic of technology devoted to war, conquest, and control rather than the white magic of attunement to the will and word of God. The ego has thus become an ongoing magic spell produced by mental insistence on protecting the shadow and keeping consciousness in a trance of ignorance. But the Supreme Magician is now setting us free through the sweet necromancy of grace. Recorded on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 10, 2009.

Who is playing you in the chess game that constitutes your life? Your best gambit is to invoke the Goddess. She knows how to employ the Queen to offer the one sacrifice that brings victory over Death.

Our true nature is freedom—and that can never be lost. All our desires emerge from the temporary forgetfulness of that reality. Desire is always for the Real Self. We must desire more intensely if we wish to realize our sublime, infinite, ecstatic essence.   Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org/

There are no limits to the potentialities of consciousness. If you know where you are on an accurate map of reality, that will become clear. You will also learn that the world is made of language and is produced by pulsations of mental energy. This is information everyone needs to know—in order to cope with the rapidly unfolding events in this mind-driven matrix.   This teaching is taken from our most recent retreat, Passing Through the Gate - https://bit.ly/3qbVcxP

We’re at the end of the line. Life has become hollow. Now is the moment we must be hallowed. God has secretly returned to the world, but we must choose to return to God by detaching from all worldly values and attuning to the energy coming from the Source, which will infuse us with the blissful and beautiful mandala that will congeal into a new world of perfect goodness.

The ego-mind is conditioned and controlled by its habitual drives and thought patterns that prevent self-transformation. But through accurate analysis and understanding that arises from archetypal symbolic wisdom, one can unveil the profound Presence of God obscured by the ego’s incoherence. Recorded on November 14, 2018.

Evolution and involution are occurring simultaneously in our current world condition One force hardens the ego shell, the other softens it. To speed up the bursting open of the bounded mind to transform into the Supreme Self, one can either enter the boiling oil of karma or apply the microwaves of adoration to morph by the grace of God.

One Mind contains us all, but each one must decide to connect to the Cosmic Self directly and consciously. You must overcome all fear in order to break through the ego defenses, since to the ego, connecting to God means death. 

We have the gift of free will and can now choose either a life of divinization or one of degradation and destruction. Why not dance in delight in the sky of perfect mind rather than stay trapped in the ruined, lawless, and loveless landscapes of illusion?

Meditation can destroy the inner demons of the ego’s delusional duality, as well as the greater illusion of the cosmic hologram in which the subject seems to be embedded. If you are ready and willing to break though the virtual reality represented as the sensory manifold, you become a true Sat yogi by focusing on the core of constant Presence and attune to the vibrational frequency of the all-saturating energy of luminous, blissful power—the locus from which the unfoldment of the world process is determined.

Consciousness is Beauty, Beatitude, and Bliss. But once the desire to possess that beauty arises, it becomes perceived as an external world, and the perceiving mind is afflicted by lack and separation. The more one complains, the more ugly and antagonistic one’s world becomes. And one is then trapped on the wheel of karma. The Truth is that all is forever perfect! The kingdom of heaven arrives when one sees that. This is the deep insight of Dzogchen and the deepest teaching of all authentic spiritual traditions. 

Meditation is not a matter of either technique or belief. Begin with total doubt about reality and seek the source of your consciousness. Direct realization requires the absence of preconceptions and predispositions. Recorded during the Lion Heart Koan retreat, on the morning of Sunday, October 25, 2015.

In anticipation of our next online weekend intensive, Passing Through The Gate, July 14 - 16, (https://bit.ly/passing-gate) Shunyamurti gave this profound teaching.   Eventually we all arrive at the Gate to our innermost consciousness. But we can accelerate the process of going through the Great Gate by choosing the involutionary path of living in total awareness. This is the moment when the return to the inner light and natural joy is most easily attained.   

You can avoid the meat grinder of a bardo state encounter with wrathful deities if you are willing to go through all three deaths, starting now! Then the fullness of creative power will return.

Eternal bliss comes at the price of renunciation of the ego-mind. Otherwise, the hubris and greed of the ego will block the reception of the supernatural intelligence of the Mind of God. It is divine love alone that will restore the world to perfect order. Recorded on February 27, 2015.  Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org/  

The ego keeps files on everyone and everything in its life. These files fill the mind. The ego must be de-filed so that the undefiled Self is revealed. In effortless presence redemption is achieved. Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org/

Sublimation of ego tendencies results from sustaining the pillar of light that remains when one adores the Absolute Self.

Where there is the Supreme Light, there can be no darkness. It is important to remember that the dark forces are unreal. Use viveka (discernment) and vairagya (dispassion) to abide in the unity of the Real—and remember: you are That! Recorded on February 20, 2012.

The Diamond-Lightning Sutra strikes again! Buddha one-ups Heraclitus: you can’t swim in the same stream even once—because there is no stream! There’s no real water in a dream.   Learn More About Shunyamurti: https://shunyamurti.org

The poetry of Attar is unpacked to reveal its profound spiritual teachings. The relationship between the weak and the strong elements in the ego will determine its health and willingness to grow and recognize the Truth.
