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.

What are we here for, if not love and joy? To bring that into the world, we must be That, which is referred to in the Vedic tradition as Brahman. But we must throw out all our myths and ego narratives to uncover Brahman, our deepest Self, within. Recorded on the morning of Tuesday, February 21, 2012.

Why don't we live constantly in joy? Are we addicted to suffering? Some mysterious power binds us to the illusion of lack. There is a kind of schizophrenia in the Mind of God that produces a world of contradictions and a superposition of peace and conflict, nirvana and samsara. The path to liberation starts when we remember to laugh at the unreal ego. Then the blissful shakti emerges as a creative force that lights up our world. Recorded April 2, 2012.

Prepare to be struck by a divine thunderbolt! A radical paradigm shift in consciousness is required for our hearts to withstand the intensity of energy that will descend into our bodies. We would be wise to open our hearts and minds now to receive the supreme power of the transcendent Real that will grace us with transmutation. We must be inwardly attuned to the vibrational frequency of the Buddha Nature and have purified our souls to be morphed into avatars of the ancient future gods and goddesses. But we must be willing to surrender to the glory of the majestic intelligence, luminosity and love that constitute our f

The simple practice of silencing the mind and surrendering to the ecstatic Self is the direct and effortless path. This has always been the message of yogis and sages down through time: you are already swimming in the ocean of bliss. Why not reveal it to your ego? Recorded on February 2nd, 2012.

The Diamond Sutra, also known as the Lightning Strike Sutra, reveals the paradoxical clarity of the awakened Self, and enables the attainment of the merit which entitles us to dream a perfect world.

As Kali Yuga crashes in flames, a divine transformation is taking place in the world. The souls with the most intense yearning for God are being taught how to redream the divine creation. Conscious transformation of our values and focus from the mundane to the noumenal is the effort that brings the response of grace.

Sri Ramana teaches the direct realization of the Self, requiring only tireless devotion. Grace is the reward for serving God wholeheartedly, with complete indifference toward the apparent world.

The ancient epic known as the Ramayana is a time capsule of information and instruction for facing the final days of Kali Yuga. Knowledge of the structure of consciousness and its permutations, including the soul’s romancing and renouncing of desire, is bringing the ego face to face with the Self—and the invincible power of the Real.   

People have lost all trust in the institutions that were supposed to serve them, but which now oppress with tyrannical force. There is no way back, now that legitimacy has been squandered. The one rational response is attunement of consciousness to the unified planetary field of intelligence that resonates with the Will of God. This attainment must be our highest priority.

The world is analogous to a moving image appearing on a computer screen. A shaman learns to modify the underlying program, producing magical effects, through attaining altered states of mind. The yogi transcends the mind and gains the power to turn off the computer or turn the world appearing on the screen to light.

The most ancient epic work of literature is the Ramayana, the story of how the dark side is defeated by spiritual heroes and how the kingdom of God is won. This tale is not about the past, but explains what is happening now—and contains the secret of the strategy that will assure the victory of those who faithfully serve the Infinite Light.

An ontological shift into absolute idealism is necessary to regain our freedom and power, since the universe is mind, not matter. Sri Ramana refutes Einstein and reminds us that the ancient yogis understood the subtleties of ether, and that plasma physics is under the control of our cosmic intellect. 

Why is there a subtle feeling of lack in almost every human being today? The ego is the absence of the Self.  The Self shall be realized only when the ego becomes absent through the recognition that you are what you are seeking—and all you need to do is be still.  From Nov 8, 2013.

The tides of Time are changing now, from the high tide of pravritti to the low tide of nivritti, as the ancient sages called them. Those who do not factor that in to their life strategies and goals will be quite disappointed (which is an understatement). But those who do attune to the teleological will discover one can ride a bliss wave from here to eternity. There are, of course, certain skills involved and one little renunciation.

In this classic teaching from April 29, 2012, Shunyamurti takes us on a deep dive into the paradox of the need to make effort on the spiritual path and yet with the knowledge that all effort is useless to reach the goal. Only the grace of the one almighty Self will bring the final realization that sets one free. Of course, since in nonduality the giver and the receiver of grace are the same, the only kind of effort that will suffice is effortless effort, which the immortal Daoist sages called wu wei. It is still the only way.
