There is only one thing ever to point to for your own freedom.
And it's
not a thing, it is this moment.
This is where your focus should rest.
Not
today, not this hour, not this minute nor this second, it is much more simple
than that.
It is right now, this very moment. To allow everything to
be as it is just now. To let yourself be present with what is right now.
And
right now you exist. Right now, there is a feeling of being. In this
moment without referring to your thoughts there is this undeniable sense that
you are.
Notice this. Not "you are a person" or "your are"
anything at all. But simply being. It is indescribable, indefinable,
but it is here. If thoughts come, let them come, let them go.
If feelings are there let them be. Don't resist anything.
Don't even
resist the resistance. Because if you resist this moment, if you think it
should be other than it is, then you are at war with this moment. And no
matter how hard you try and manipulate your world in this moment to be the way
you would like it to be, it will only be the way that it is.
So you either are
resting in this moment or you are fighting this moment.
You are living as
"is-ness" or your are living as "I want." To be here in
and as this moment, or to be lost in your thoughts.
You can't have both. Freedom or limitation. This present moment, or
your endless commentary about who you think you are, where you have been and
where you are going.
Can you let everything be in this moment?
Can you stop trying to change and control your world and instead, simply rest
with me right now? Just for this second, can you let go and rest in what
is here and now?
Don't worry if you are
doing it right or wrong. Just be here with me. Notice this moment.
Notice that in this moment you exist. That you cannot deny this feeling
that existence is happening. Very simple.
Are you still here? If not, just come back, let go of your thinking and keep coming back and all is
peaceful again What else is there besides now? Isn't it all thoughts outside of
now? Isn't it all your imagination outside of now?
Let all of that
go for just this moment. This is all that there is and the only thing.
This moment is freedom itself, bliss itself, love itself. So incredibly
intoxicating. So nurturing.
This moment is you. And the is-ness goes on forever. So easy and so simple. Too simple for thinking.
It's too subtle to be figured out or defined. It is you and you alone.
And if you find this hard,
simply ask yourself "Who am I?" In this moment, who are you? This
question simply takes out the thinking you and all that is left is this feeling
of being, of just watching. All that is left is this moment. Ask this over and over.
"Who am I? Who am I?" The question takes you immediately back to
now.
Or you can just surrender.
Surrender to everything that is happening right here and right now. Let
all of your fixing, wanting, needing, controlling go. What will be left is
just this moment. Just you. If there is emotion let the emotion be.
If there is pain, let the pain be. Feel it completely in this moment,
don't label it, judge it or resist it.
If you let it be completely you
will see that there is something quite profound in the pain, something
incredibly beautiful and nurturing. You pass right through this solid
feeling of you into something that has no boundaries. Where you are love itself.
You are bliss itself. You are presence itself. You are
consciousness.
Are you still here? Are you still present? Breathe
with me here. Sit with me here. Stop trying to fix what needs not
fixing. Stop trying to get into a meditative state, or to be peaceful.
Just be, and in the being, the one that resists is no more.
And if you rest
here, you will see that everything is happening by itself. That thoughts
come by themselves, breathing happens by itself. That everything is moving along just fine without
you
pretending to control everything. And then you can rest in this moment,
you can dive deeply, unceasingly into this moment and disappear into the sweet
nectar of silence.

Questions
for Spiritual Enlightenment:
Spiritual
Enlightenment could be said to be the realization of what you are beyond the mind. Or rather, it
is the realization of what you are not. This idea of "me" full
of desires and fears and suffering no longer defines you.
And
what is left is your natural state of unconditional peace, love and
joy.
When
you realize it, you will see why it is called your natural state- because it
feels pure, free and simply put, the way you naturally are beyond your
identification with your mind.
Such
words like these point to the truth, but they are not enough.
Because
eventually, the words again become knowledge, they become something you
"know" and in that knowing, you no longer go where they point to.
And
so everyone goes from one teaching to the next, changing their techniques, their
beliefs, their practice and still nothing happens, they remain stuck in the
mind. You have glimpses of the truth and then it disappears again.
Spiritual
Enlightenment is not a mental or intellectual shift, it is an energetic
shift.
If
you ever had the opportunity to sit with a fully enlightened master, you know
that just by sitting in their presence, automatically, you experienced deep,
blissful states of meditation. Regardless of the words spoken, something
much deeper happened. Enlightenment for that period of time, seemed to be
awakened inside you just by sitting in their presence.
And
if you could remain in such enlightened presence, everything that keeps you from experiencing the truth begins to dissolve, until presence,
peace and bliss becomes what you are.
But
most westerners are uncomfortable with having a "Guru" or simply don't
have the time or option to find someone who is fully enlightened and can
transmit such presence to them on a daily basis.
This
is why I have developed Audio CDs that transmit such enlightened presence to
you, enabling you to experience enlightened states of awareness often within
minutes which you probably could not have experienced after decades of practice
on your own.
I
often get the question "Can't I just do it on my own?"
And the
question is, why would
you want to struggle on your own for years when you could begin to experience it
now?
Too
many people seeking freedom end up stuck in their ideas and knowledge about
enlightenment. Their ideas and knowledge end up being a hindrance to
their awareness rather than being helpful.
But
simply by playing one of these CDs, a true state of enlightened awareness
is awakened in you, beyond what you think you know.
I
am not here to tell you that these CDs are the only way to Spiritual
Enlightenment. But I am inviting
you to have a listen to some of the samples and see for yourself.
Because
if have a listen to the samples and read some of the testimonials from people
who meditate to the CDs, you will probably find like so many others that this
music can change your life. These CDs have already awakened so many to
unconditional peace and can awaken the same peace and bliss in you. Even
just by listening to the samples.
Or
if you prefer to meditate in silence or already have Ocean Euphoric and The
Calling Check out Shakti
Silence
By
listening to the CDs, enlightened transmission happens by itself, then it is
simply your responsibility to remain present. To allow yourself to
experience what is here in this moment, without judging it, or defining it, or
describing it, just simply feeling it, as sensation.
Proven
thousands of times over, these CDs will awaken in you your true nature of
unconditional peace, bliss & love, making the whole process of spiritual
transformation much easier.
